Do Not “Stampede” Alan Kyerematen… – NPP Vice Chair Aspirant

A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the party leadership not to look down on the potential of John Kwadwo Alan Kyerematen as an aspirant of the NPP flagbearership race.

According to him, in as much as some in the party are calling for two-time presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to lead the party again in 2016, he believes delegates should be given the sole mandate of electing who they want to lead the party in the next presidential polls.

Mr. Fred Amankwah –Sarfo, a failed NPP Vice-Chair aspirant, however described the Nana Addo and Alan ruckus as “debacle”. Adding that, it’s having a different agenda from the party’s “unity, cohesion and peace”. He noted that the idea to “stampede” Mr. Alan Kyerematen for stating his position to contest Nana Addo must be avoided.

In an interview with Fred Amankwah-Sarfo said that, “It is the fervent believe of many members of the party across the country that there should be no intention of denigrating any other party member’s aspirations to offer him or herself to lead the party to election 2016.

“As a party, we decided long ago to pursue our agenda along the principles of respect, decorum and circumspection. In fact it’s this same concept I used in my campaign to be elected as the national vice chairman of our party but failed to get the mandate of the delegates.

“…As a believer in the liberal democratic principles and most essentially the NPP tradition, I fervently trust in the decision of the delegates. We should all be magnanimous enough to respect the mandate of our delegates,” he added

The NPP man further noted that “I have no doubt in my mind that Nana Addo will be given the mandate to lead this party in the 2016 elections. But while we jostle for our preferred candidate, let not continue to hurt ourselves with statements, opinions or responses that are likely to hurt the party after the congress.”

He stressed “In as much as we should not stampede Mr. Kyerematen or anyone else and stop him/her from contesting to be elected by the delegates to lead the party into 2016, supporters must understand that such statement will only hurt the party.

“…I am humbled enough to admit that some people within the ranks of support of the candidature of Akufo-Addo had also made some derogatory remarks on the candidature of Mr. Kyerematen. This must also vehemently be condemned. Decency in our campaign must be a closely guarded weapon.

“…For this party to thrive, we must acknowledge that both leaders – Akufo Addo and Alan Kyerematen are great assets to the party. An attack on one by the supporters is the worst contributing factor towards party [NPP] cohesion; unity and togetherness are pre requisite to enhancing our electoral fortunes in 2016. Let us not cut our noses to spite our faces,” he advised

Calling All 2017 Homeschool Graduates

GHEA is now accepting applications for our

2017 Graduate Recognition Ceremony

This year’s ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 3, in Snellville. We invite all GHEA families with a high school senior to participate. For details, including an application package, please email graduation@ghea.org. Space is limited!

Homeschool Day at the Capitol 2017
Wednesday, March 15th, 20178:30* a.m.-3:30* p.m.
(*final schedule/times to be released)

Register Here for Homeschool Day at the Capitol 2017:https://goo.gl/VGk1dW

Thank you for joining us this year for Homeschool Day at the Capitol 2017!You have all turned out in greater numbers each year, and on behalf of homeschoolers all over the beautiful state of Georgia, we thank you! It is so critical that we continue to attend each year to make a positive representation and show that we are mighty in number! This day has already had a direct impact on legislation in the past and we trust that our presence will continue to make a lasting impression on our legislators!

The day is already shaping up to be an exciting one, and we are adding more things each week, so be sure and follow us on Facebook leading up to the big day to get updates! We will host a LEGISLATIVE CLASS, a JUDICIAL CLASS and all new for this year... a GEORGIA 101 CLASS! The new Georgia 101 class will cover not only fun Georgia facts, but also cover how a bill becomes a law in the state of Georgia as well as impact you can make on local legislation. This class will be geared towards elementary students, but all are welcome! We will be releasing more details on each class, the instructors and a detailed schedule very soon, so watch for updates!

HOMESCHOOL GROUPS: Each individual family may register separately, using this form and pay individually. Please include your group/co-op name in the form. You do not need to sign up as a group, but please encourage your members to register and pay their invoices as soon as possible, to ensure class placement.

Due to the generosity of our sponsors, we are able to offer this day to you again this year for only $5 per participating student ages 6+ (with a $15 family cap) and that includes everything! Parents are free, and are encouraged to attend all classes with their students. By registering, you will be scheduled for all of the classes, but you don't have to come to all of the classes if you choose not to. Class size is limited and your registration is not confirmed until payment is received. Once you register, you will be sent a PayPal invoice within 48 hours. Once you pay the invoice, you will be added to the class roster and we will email you a confirmation. We make every attempt to be timely in our responses, but please be patient with us as we are volunteer moms, and are homeschooling and changing diapers in between times!

*TOUR CHANGE for 2017* If you have attended Georgia Homeschool Day at the Capitol in previous years, you will notice a change in our approach to tours this year. Tour guides will be stationed at various points of interest around the Capitol building and you will receive a map ahead of time, showing where you can stop by to learn fun tidbits about the Capitol building! We hope that this change makes maneuvering the Capitol even more enjoyable for you! You will not need to sign up for a tour to participate.

In 2016, we had over two thousand attendees for Homeschool Day at the Capitol! The Georgia Building Authority informed us that homeschoolers are now the 2nd largest group to visit the Capitol ALL YEAR LONG! (We are 2nd in size only to the nurses, so the now competition is ON!) That being said, our group is too large to reserve the rotunda for musical performances at the same time, because they have over 600 groups per year, trying to have their day at the Capitol. We would love to host a separate Homeschool Music Day at the Capitol, but we need someone to help organize and lead it! If you would be interested in leading this, please email us at homeschoolcapitolday@gmail.com and we will contact you when we begin to form that committee!

Thank you once again for joining us for this historic day! We can't wait to see you there!

Ladies: Have you ever been with, dated, or just gone out with an Asian guy?

And you are? I'm a GirlI'm a Guy

Most Helpful Girl

  • Yeah, I've been with an Asian guy. Not your typical one though. In fact, you can't really say that about them as just a group of "asian guys" because really, they're all different. There wasn't many bad things about dating this guy... but I'll list the pros and cons of him, just for the question :) But truly, other Asian guys I know are so much different.

    -- He really took care of me. He watched over me, and walked me home every day, even though it was a mile away from his house.

    -- He could tell when I was depressed. He knew when to give me space, and when to come close and cuddle and support me.

    -- He was always honest.

    -- He was cocky, but not overly so. Just enough to tick me off from time to time.

    -- He ate like a pig! And he was still toned and perfect!

    -- He would never take no for an answer, and would never back down in his arguments.

    He was really to special to me :) Now that doesn't mean that all Asians are that way, and that doesn't mean that all caucasians are not that way. he was unique, and that's what I liked.

Have an opinion?

What Girls Said 3

  • I've been with an Asian before. It wasn't a great experience though. I doubt it was due to the fact he was Asian though. He was just a bit of a jackass. Unless you believe that arrogance and entitlement runs in Asian men. Also, he was into some very, very strange things. Things I never thought I would be asked to participate in.

    • ok

      so after that would you go out with an Asian guy?

    • I would've been open to dating an Asian again. I don't think that what made it a bad experience before was due to his being Asian. So had I met another guy who happened to be Asian and charmed me in the right ways; yea I would have given it a shot.

  • never cause they are not around in my society.

    but actually I live Asians lol. I used to have this BIG crush on Asian actors, they are so handsome lol.

  • im not that attracted to Asian men.. very few

When is it appropriate to text a guy that I am thinking of him?

Guys: when is it appropriate to text a guy that I am thinking of him? I consider him to be both a friend and colleague even though we do not talk that much and we used to go to the same community college together but now we are both at separate universities. Is it alright to even text him or tell him for that matter that I am thinking of him or would that be awkward?

Most Helpful Guy

  • Thinking of him NO! txting yes, just say hello what's up what are you up to maybe he will ask you out (as a friend) and then who knows, it will be your decision. But telling him that you thinking about him DON"T DO IT.

    • What do you mean by your last sentence "But telling him that you thinking about him DON"T DO IT"? It contradicts the first statement about texting him and saying hello unless you were implying to text him how I feel instead of calling, right?

    • Show All
    • I am very patient this is the second time that I have texted him and I have been waiting for the right moment, and feeling for the past year. Plus, I had to learn how to text since I just got a cell phone a year ago and am still learning how to text properly and how to say it to others over text.

    • If you have good friends that care about you consult with them, two heads is better than one :)

Have an opinion?

Send It!

What Guys Said 4

  • It depends on a lot of things... What are your instincts telling you?

    Sometimes, it is a good idea, when you have the urge... to wait. Wait on your emotions... Sometimes the exact right time will pop into your heart, then go ahead and text him. :)

  • If it's not meant to be romantic, then it's not really appropriate. If it is, text him whenever you want to and you feel that way, those things shouldn't be kept to yourself.

  • Do it. He'll appreciate it.

    • Thank you for telling me that he would appreciate it. It really encouraged me.

    • You're welcome :). I've always appreciated it any time that a girl has told me it. No matter how long it has been since we last saw each other or talked.

  • Is this a friend that you only want as a friend?

    • Sort of. Right now were both are pursing our schoolwork diligently and are too busy for a relationship at the moment plus neither of us has never dated.

    • Make up your mind on what you want before deciding. If you don't want a relationship or anything with the guy, don't bother saying anything. If you miss him strictly as a friend and just want somebody to hang out with because you need to pass the time a bit and socialize, text him, but not that you miss him or have been thinking about him. If you decide you want something more, then you can text him that you've been thinking about him and try to push the conversation towards meeting up.

Bayo committed to Cobblers - Gray

Published Add your comment

Football News

Northampton manager Stuart Gray has no doubts striker Adebayo Akinfenwa will continue to give his all for the Cobblers despite seeing a move to Swansea break down.

Akinfenwa was set to return to the Swans on Monday after the clubs agreed a fee but the Championship side pulled out of the deal after signing Lee Trundle and Craig Beattie.

"Everything was agreed between the two clubs and Bayo was on his way to discuss personal terms. For some reason Swansea pulled out but that happens in football. It's not a deal until everything is signed," said Gray.

"So Bayo remains a Cobblers player and he will give 100% as he has done in every game he has played for the club."

United offered players-plus-cash deal for Arsenal target - reports

Published Add your comment

Football News

Southampton have sought to complete a deal with Manchester United for the sale of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and hope to include out of favour players Gabriel Obertan and Wes Brown, according to the Daily Express.

With Southampton newly promoted to the npower Championship, Nigel Adkins is reportedly hopeful of signing some Barclays Premier League players so his side can push for a successful season and possible move into the top flight.

Obertan has struggled for appearances at Manchester United since he moved to the club from Bordeaux in 2009. Brown has also had problems this season in particular, reportedly wanting to leave United after not featuring on the pitch for the squad since mid March.

Southampton reportedly sees this as working in their favour, and hope to use the pair as a bargaining point to secure some Premier players in their side.

Manchester United should be pleased with the deal, with Arsenal also interested in signing Oxlade-Chamberlain. Arsene Wenger sees the 17-year-old as perfect to fit in with his youth policy at Arsenal, and was interested in bringing in the youngster alongside lower league starlet Carl Jenkinson.

But with Manchester United able to offer unwanted players, the title winners look set to trump Arsenal in their quest for Oxlade-Chamberlain after all.

Report: The Atlanta Hawks trade Jeff Teague to Indiana in three-team trade

Published Add your comment

Football News

With the NBA season coming to an end and draft night finally upon us, multiple teams are already making moves to bolster their rosters for next year.

The blockbuster trade that saw Derrick Rose leave his hometown Chicago Bulls for the New York Knicks on Wednesday unsurprisingly dominated the headlines, but there was another deal that went slightly under the radar.

Though the deals can't be confirmed for salary cap purposes, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports has reported that the Atlanta Hawks have traded point guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers in a three-team deal with the Utah Jazz.

Article continues below

As part of the agreement, the Pacers will send George Hill to Utah who will give up their number 12 pick in the draft to the Hawks.

Teague will depart Atlanta after spending his entire nine-year career with the franchise. The 28-year-old was involved in trade rumours throughout the year and it seemed his departure from the team was a matter of when and not if.

After the emergence of German Denis Schroder in the playoffs - particularly against the Cleveland Cavaliers - the Hawks were prepared to let their starting point guard go and will now look to build around Schroder.

This season, Teague averaged a respectable 15.7 points, 5.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game. He became an All-Star for the first time in 2014-15 after Atlanta enjoyed an incredible campaign which saw them reach the Eastern Conference Finals on the back of a franchise-best record of 60-22.

Atlanta Hawks v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game One

A return to Indiana, the city of his birth, may be a great fit for Teague and he should relish the opportunity to play with one of the league's best players in Paul George.

He will also significantly add to the uptempo style that Larry Bird is so desperate to see the Pacers adopt under new head coach Nate McMillan.

The Wake Forest product is entering the final year of his contract but per Yahoo, the Pacers are keen to sign him to an extension after moving Hill to Salt Lake City.

Hill, also an Indianapolis native, joined his hometown team in 2011 from the San Antonio Spurs in a trade which saw them give up Kawhi Leonard.

Indiana Pacers v Toronto Raptors - Game Seven

At the age of 30, Indy felt it was the right time to move him on and bring in a point guard who can increase the pace of their team and add more scoring.

With the Pacers, the veteran averaged 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during the 2015-16 campaign.

The move makes sense for Utah as they were keen to pick up an experienced ball-handler to play alongside the talented young squad that they've built and they didn't have to give up a player to acquire him.

The trades seem like the right decision for all parties and as we enter one of the busiest periods for front offices across the league, expect this to be the beginning of a frantic couple of weeks.

At the show, Joshua Topolsky was accompanied by Channing Tatum who actually played the game using the same device. However, the thing that drilled curiosity among the tech community was not related to the camera that was showed in the TV show or the Sony device.

You might be surprised to know about the other intersing thing in the show. It was the Motorola's Moto 360 smartwatch. Now, where was this? It was actually being worn by Joshua Topolsky and you can clearly see the device in the image. The watch also blinked a couple of times in the show but none noticed at that moment. However, now that we have already seen it, this might probably mean that the device is in a good-to-go state.

Earleir, rumors pertaning to Moto 360 device suggested that it would arrive with a retail price of €249 (around Rs. 19,997) and that it will launch in early July. Moreover, we could be waiting for Google's I/O developers conference here.

As LGBT people and allies celebrate the one-year anniversary of the repeal of the so-called ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy, OutServe, an organization that serves as a resource for LGBT service members, is calling attention to the experiences of trans soldiers. Guest author, who has chosen the pseudonym “Keith Thompson,” writes of the complexities of feeling accepted by other members, passing as a man, being regarded as a lesbian and incidents of discrimination in his unit. Keith’s anonymous account is a reminder that there are still dedicated service members who, despite enormous sacrifice, are unable to serve openly.

Grilled Swordfish with Blood Orange Sauce

Recipe courtesy of "A Great American Cook"

6 blood oranges 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 Anaheim or poblano chile 4 6-oz. swordfish steaks, about 1-inch thick 3 tbsp. (about 1/3 stick) cold unsalted butter Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 small jicama 3 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for rubbing the swordfish 1 small red onion

Zest one of the oranges using a zester or vegetable peeler. Juice the orange and place the juice in a medium bowl. If you used a peeler, cut the zest into very thin strips. Set aside.

Slice the tops and bottoms off the remaining 5 oranges, exposing the fruit. Stand each orange on a cutting board and, using a sharp paring knife, following the contours of the fruit, slice off the peel in strips from top to bottom, making sure to remove the bitter white pith. To remove the sections, hold each orange in the palm of your hand and, working over the bowl of orange juice, gently slice along each membrane to release the whole segments. Put the orange sections in another bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.

Roast the chile over medium-high heat on the stovetop or under a hot broiler, turning occasionally, until blackened and blistered all over. Place the chile in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel the jicama and cut it into 1/2-inch dice. Slice the onion lengthwise into thin strips.

Peel the chile pepper with your fingers (do not rinse); stem, seed and dice it.

Combine half the orange juice and the olive oil in a small bowl. Stir in the chile, jicama and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add half the orange sections to the bowl with the jicama mixture and toss. Mix in half the cilantro. Divide the salad among four plates. Rub the swordfish steaks with olive oil, then salt and pepper them to taste. Grill the swordfish steaks, turning once, until they're just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, combine the rest of the orange juice with the orange zest and the remaining cilantro in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the remaining orange sections and taste, adding salt and pepper if necessary.

Place the swordfish steaks on the salad and drizzle with the orange sauce. Serve at once.

Diverse North Carolina Mission Growing in Many Ways

Posted: 11/30/2016

By Margaret Gabriel

The defining characteristic of St. Joan of Arc, the Glenmary mission in Plymouth (Washington County), N.C., could well be “growth.” In addition to growing in numbers, the mission is growing in faith formation and community outreach. Perhaps most important, parishioners are growing in understanding of each other.

The growth of the Latino community in eastern North Carolina has meant an increase in the number of Spanish speakers in the mission, but the mission’s diversity is far richer than just having Spanish-speaking and English-speaking members. The Latino community within the Plymouth parish comprises about 80 percent of the congregation and comes from several countries, including Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Honduras. The Anglo community includes people who have lived in North Carolina their whole lives and those who have retired to Plymouth from northern cities because of its low cost of living. Julian Crespo Moncada, St. Joan of Arc’s pastoral coordinator, called the parish’s diversity its greatest strength.

“The cultures are different in all those countries,” Julian said. “Even from different parts of Mexico, people bring different traditions.” Blending the traditions of these cultures is sometimes challenging, but it provides the parish community with a richness valued by Julian and the mission members. He observed that the cultures “complement each other well.”

When Sister Arcadia Rivera Gutierrez became Glenmary pastoral coordinator in 2008, attendance at the weekend Spanish Mass was only about 12, with fewer at the English Mass. But she and Sister Martha Alvarado Moreno worked to gather the Catholic community, and their efforts resulted in an attendance increase to 60-80 people at Spanish Mass and about 15 at English Mass.

The congregation experienced another surge of growth when Julian arrived in 2012. Today, over 100 people attend Spanish Mass and about 20 participate in English Mass. Julian’s home visits are responsible for much of that increased interest: he makes it a point to extend personal invitations to families in Washington and the surrounding counties.

The Impact of Lay Leadership in Plymouth
Having a layperson leading the parish, rather than a priest or religious, was new for the people of Plymouth and took some adjustment. At first, Julian said, he struggled. “They would look at me and say, ‘He’s one of us. He’s not an authority; he’s a man with a family.’ Now they see me as someone with a family, but someone they can learn from.”
Ruben Campos values Julian’s skills as a teacher. Ruben, an agricultural worker, has been a St. Joan member for six years and is a lifelong churchgoer because of the example set by his parents as he was growing up in Mexico. “I go because I need help every day,” Ruben said. “Going to church is life for me.”

Ruben is enthusiastic about the parish’s Bible study group that regularly attracts 25 people because of Julian’s leadership and the knowledge of Scripture he shares. Ruben called Julian “a very good person.”

Susie Jakeman, a longtime St. Joan parishioner, appreciates the effort Julian makes to learn about Plymouth’s customs and culture. “He gels with us,” Susie said. “He’s fluent in English, but he has also learned the jargon of eastern North Carolina.”

Susie described St. Joan of Arc as “a neat little church.” She was raised in a large Catholic church in Greensboro, about 200 miles west of Plymouth. But she prefers the smaller Plymouth mission community with its family feeling, and she appreciates the strength it gains through diversity.

“We’ve been blessed by Glenmary’s presence,” said Susie. “When I first came here in 1969, we had Mass in somebody’s house. And if I told people in the larger community I was Catholic, they looked at me like I had said a curse word. Now we are accepted and participate in the local community with all the other churches.”

Like the leaders of other Glenmary missions, Julian attends regular meetings of the local ministerial association, whose members help plan the area’s interfaith services during Lent and Holy Week. They and their congregations also collaborate on other important community outreach efforts and activities, such as the area food pantry and local fundraising initiatives including an annual festival. These efforts are much needed in a county where nearly 25 percent of the people live below the national poverty level.

Outreach to Others, Sharing of Spiritual Culture
Julian leads the mission in its community outreach, which includes a weekly trip with a few mission members to minister to people (up to 35-40) who work in the crabbing industry in coastal North Carolina. “The mostly female workers have Catholic roots but are isolated by distance from the rest of the deanery,” Julian said.

He and the other St. Joan members travel over an hour to meet with these workers for Bible study, Liturgy of the Word and a Communion service. “We help them nurture their faith,” he said. He knows that the distance between the coastal region and Plymouth makes regular trips to the Glenmary mission impossible for these workers. However, he envisions organizing one-day retreats for them, hoping to help them bond as a community of faith.

Other St. Joan outreach efforts range from family counseling provided by Julian to Bible study classes held in the homes of parishioners who live far away. In addition, he said, “We sometimes receive grants that we can use to provide local people in need with financial assistance.”

As autumn rolls around, the mission gears up for its busiest time of year. Beginning in mid-November and continuing well into Advent, the parish prays novenas to Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of Mexico and the Americas, whose feast day is December 12.

“We honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray the Rosary, eat and share conversation,” said Julian, describing the novena gatherings that take place at parishioners’ residences. Although most of these gatherings are hosted by Latino mission members, two or three Anglo families enjoy hosting, too.

Soon after the novenas, the celebration shifts to posadas, a nine-day observance that honors the pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus.

Since arriving in 2012, Julian has always made sure that all his mission members are invited to and included in these novenas, posadas and accompanying celebrations, which are an important part of the spiritual culture of the faith community.

St. Joan parishioners are residents of six counties of eastern North Carolina; some drive more than an hour, one way, to attend services. Most who drive great distances are Latino, Julian said. With a bit of prodding, he acknowledged that families make the long trips because of the vibrancy of the community he has called together.

The benefit of the parish’s ethnic, cultural and residential diversity is evident in the feeling of family among members. Julian laughed and said that many members know everything about each other—the good as well as the bad—“and they love each other anyway.”

An Evolving Youth Faith Formation Program
In 2012, all parish catechists were Anglo, and their students were almost all Latino. At the time, Julian remarked, the youth faith formation program was the primary place where the Anglo and Latino communities intersected.

The adults in the Latino community didn’t believe then that they had the spiritual insight or gifts they needed to be catechists. But Julian has helped people recognize how much they are needed to assist parish youth in their religious formation. He gently invites Latino members to take the diocesan training (available in English and Spanish) needed to teach. Sometimes, he said, it takes as much as a year for people to agree.

Today, 60 percent of the mission catechists are Latino. And the growing youth faith formation program now includes more than 60 Latino children and four Anglo children.

To supplement Glenmary missions’ religious formation programs, youth-group volunteers and chaperones from The Covenant Community of Jesus the Good Shepherd parish in Owings, Md., have also conducted Vacation Bible School programs at various missions for 15 years. Every summer since 2011, they have come to St. Joan of Arc. All the children of the mission area have been invited to the Bible School, but attendance has been almost all Catholic, Julian said. “They’ve had a great time every year, and the Owings volunteers said they’ll be back in 2017!”

Adult Formation for Christian Parenting
Julian and his wife, Adriana, the parents of three young children, teach weekly Christian parenting classes. “We hope to train two or three other couples to teach as well,” he said.

The class is a diocesan initiative, but Julian and Adriana—who works  as promoter of Hispanic ministry for the Diocese of Raleigh in the Albemarle deanery—have adapted the class for the people of their rural area. The curriculum includes instruction in doctrine and basic Scripture.

 “We talk about raising children with Christian values in a community that values church, and how they can integrate themselves culturally,” said Julian.

Many Ways to Unify and Empower People
Because it is important for a community to worship together, the parish holds bilingual penitential services in Advent and Lent, bilingual Stations of the Cross during Lent, and bilingual Holy Week liturgies. Julian himself provides a musical bridge between the English- and Spanish-speaking communities by playing guitar as part of the music ministry for both English and Spanish liturgies.

Potluck suppers after Mass on the first Saturday of every month give the entire parish community another opportunity to gather together as one congregation.

Julian forecasts ongoing growth for the Plymouth mission, and he envisions himself helping youth from the parish take advantage of available educational opportunities. More and more young people from the mission are attending nearby East Carolina State University to “invest their talent in the community,” he said.

In Latino communities, many parents want their children to go to college but are often unaware of the process needed to apply and enroll. Julian believes that through education, students and their families can become integrated into the community in North Carolina and the United States, and he works to help St. Joan families with that integration. “I’m interested in empowering families to be part of society through education.”

Father Mike Kerin, pastor of Glenmary’s mission in Windsor (Bertie County), also serves as sacramental minister for St. Joan of Arc. He commends Julian’s effective lay leadership and the vibrant Plymouth parish community that attracts new members.

Parishioner Susie Jakeman said that “the language barrier is hard to overcome. We might have two Masses, but we know that we have a lot to offer each other.”

 Ward staffing levels - GHNHSFT

Ward staffing levels

aec banner

Our staffing levels

This is the Government’s response to the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry and one of the key actions from their response is to ensure safe staffing and for data about nurse staffing numbers on hospital wards to be published.

Our Local Area Team have asked us to comment on instances when the levels of staffing are below 80% or above 120% as planned.

Where the staffing levels over the month, for registered nurses or care staff are below 80%, the needs of the patients were met by an increase in the other group of staff on that ward. We have no wards month where the average staffing level over the month is below 80%. These monthly figures do not relfect that there will be some individual shifts during the month when these levels are not met. On these occasions the senior nurses reallocate staff from other areas or bring in bank or agency staff when available.

Where the staffing levels are in excess of 120% of planned numbers this is where on average ,over the month, we have temporarily  increased staff levels in response to a judgement of the clinical staff relating to the dependancy of patients.

Republic of the Union of Myanmar

Myanmar forms a bridge between the peoples and cultures of South and Southeast Asia. The largest country in the subregion, it borders India and Bangladesh to the northwest, PR China to the northeast, Lao PDR to the east, and Thailand to the southeast.

Along with substantial arable land, Myanmar is endowed with large freshwater and marine resources, and significant deposits of minerals including oil and gas. Its forest resources cover 48.3% of the land area and include 80% of the world’s remaining teak supply. The country, once called the "last frontier of biodiversity in Asia," has 251 known species of mammals, 272 reptile, 1,056 bird, and 7,000 plant species.

Seven key priority issues highlighted in the country’s environmental performance reporting are: forest resources, biodiversity, land degradation, management of water resources, waste management, air pollution, and climate change.

In recent years Myanmar has made encouraging progress towards environmental management. Forest protection has improved, as has access to clean drinking water. At the regulatory level, the country has adopted both the United Nation’s Agenda 21 and Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and in early 2012 approved a new environment law.

To plan and implement sustainable development initiatives, the government recently formed the Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry (MoECAF), granting it a stronger mandate than the two bodies it replaced – the Ministry of Forestry and National Commission for Environmental Affairs. MoECAF is currently drafting regulations to enact the new environment law.

However, MoECAF and the country as a whole do not yet have the capacity to implement environmental management measures at the scale required. With economic development likely to surge as the country reconnects with the global community, pressure on its natural resource base will increase and improved environmental management capacity will become more urgent.

CEP-BCI in Myanmar

The Tenasserim and Xishuangbanna BCI conservation corridor pilot sites cover transboundary corridors with tiger and elephant landscapes that include Myanmar territory. Both rounds of national environmental performance reporting have included Myanmar and it was also one of the focus countries for the GMS component of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Outlook Study II, a FAO initiative supported by CEP.

Two SEAs – one on the North-South economic corridor and the other on tourism in the Golden Quandrangle – involved Myanmar analyses. Participants from the country have attended GMS capacity building events, such as training sessions conducted under the Phnom Penh Plan.

thumbnail Hello,
Llorente has 'clear conscience' over Athletic Bilbao exit

Llorente has 'clear conscience' over Athletic Bilbao exit

The Spain forward says he has no regrets over his conduct in sealing a move to Serie A, but is disappointed by the negative reaction he has received from supporters and the media.

Fernando Llorente says he has "a very clear conscience" over his decision to move to Juventus at the end of the season.

The Athletic Bilbao striker has signed a four-year deal to take him to the Bianconeri when his contract expires at San Mames; however, Llorente has claimed that the negative response to the move has placed him in an unenviable position.

"The situation I am in is still difficult," Llorente told AS. "Many people are with me and want me, but a lot of other people want me out of here as soon as possible. Going through this after so many years here is hard. I have tried to do everything in the best possible manner so that the board can do the best for Athletic. But it seems that that has not worked out for me.

"I would have liked that to have not happened. It’s difficult to have everybody with you but I would have liked it if they understood my position.

"I have acted well. I have a very clear conscience. I am trying to learn from everything that is happening to me, I hope that all this makes me stronger."

Llorente, who has scored 108 times in more than 300 appearances for Athletic, also expressed his dismay at how the affair has been reported in local media outlets.

"I have felt the support of the national press, I must say that," Llorente said. "But certain local media have been pounding me day after day, and it is one of the things that made me make the decision to leave. I opted to stay silent and not to fight against the terrible things that I have read.

"I didn’t lie [about the good things I said about Marcelo Bielsa]. As a coach he has improved me as a footballer and I have learned a lot. At the end of it all I will stay positive, although there have been differences."

The 27-year-old Llorente has endured a frustrating season amid the furor surrounding his decision to leave the club, scoring just twice in 22 appearances.

Tar Heels Complete Sweep Of Holy City Showdown
Release: 03/12/2017
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 R H E
Robert Morris 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 3 5 2
North Carolina 1 2 1 2 0 4 - 10 11 3

Mount Pleasant, S.C. – North Carolina closed out a perfect 5-0 weekend on a cold Sunday afternoon at the College of Charleston, taking down Robert Morris University, 10-3, to complete the sweep of the Holy City Showdown. With the win, UNC improves to 21-5 on the season, while RMU falls to 5-16.

Every Tar Heel in the lineup had at least one hit in the game, as Carolina out-hit the Colonials 11-5. Freshman Brittany Pickett went 2-for-2 with an RBI double, a two-run home run and two walks while picking up the win in the circle. Taylor Wike went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored.

Junior Katelyn Shifflett roped her first career triple and stole a base for the first time with two runs scored, and Berlynne Delamora smacked a two-run home run.

Hannah Nommensen started in the circle for Carolina, limiting RMU to two hits and three walks over 2.1 innings with three strikeouts, but allowed three unearned runs in the top of the third. Pickett (9-0) replaced her for the final 4.2 innings and held the Colonials to three hits and no walks with five strikeouts.

Laura Coulter went the distance for RMU, giving up 10 runs, six earned, on 11 hits and six walks with no strikeouts.

Wike got the Heels going in the bottom of the first with a single down the right field line and used heads up base running to steal second on the play. A hit batter and a walk loaded the bases, and Katie Bailiff sent the Tar Heel shortstop home on a ground out to short.

Shifflett led off the second with her first career triple to the corner in left, and Pickett followed with a two-run blast to make it 3-0 Carolina.

The Colonials took advantage of a Carolina error to score three unearned runs in the top of the third and tie the score at three. Taryn Miller led off with a walk. A dropped pop up allowed Stacy Capp to reach safely, then Olivia Lorusso walked to load the bases. Abrielle McCartney drove in the first run with a single to left field, forcing a call to the bullpen. Pickett drew a ground out for the second out, but Natalie Higgins came through with a two-run single to right to knot the score at three.

The Tar Heels took the lead back in the bottom of the third, as Destiny DeBerry laid down a bunt single and stole second and Pickett sent her home on an RBI double to the warning track in left center.

Carolina added two more in the bottom of the fourth, as Wike doubled and Delamora crushed a two-run bomb to make it 6-3 UNC.

UNC was kept off the board for the first time in the bottom of the fifth, leaving the bases loaded after a great snag by the third baseman on a hard-hit line drive by Delamora stranded three Heels.

Carolina tacked on four unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth, as an error by the shortstop prolonged the inning and allowed DeBerry to score. After claiming her first career stolen base with a swipe of second, Shifflett came home from third on a wild pitch, then Leah Murray made it 10-3 with a two-run single up the middle.

A one-out single was it for RMU’s offense in the top of the seventh, as Pickett caught a pop up to close out the game and capture her ninth win of the season.

North Carolina’s road trip continues on Tuesday, March 12, with a visit to Campbell University. The matchup with the Camels is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

Hot this week: Yani, Rickie and the Fall Series. Not? Tiger, Briny, PGA Tour

Tuesday March 30th, 2010
Rickie Fowler won his first professional title at the Korea Open.

1. Yani. She combines Annika's precision, Lorena's explosiveness and Karrie's raw athleticism. Tseng is going to own golf for the next decade ... unless Lexi has something to say about it.

2. The Fall Series. The Frys was a blockbuster success and now Webb Simpson's pursuit of the money title transforms Sea Island from a very charming little event into something more relevant. Now, if we can just get Tiger to play Disney.

3. Rickie. Every victory is a big deal when you're an ambitious 22-year-old trying to live up to massive expectations. And it's even sweeter when the guy you beat is the 22-year-old who has thoroughly eclipsed you.

4. Brad Faxon. Yeah, he only had to play two rounds, but one of golf's good guys finally earned his maiden win on the Champions Tour after a decade of injury-related struggles. Unfortunately this means Faxon is likely to spend less time in the broadcast booth. I love his insight and was just getting used to the nasally New England voice.

5. Christina Kim. One continent can no longer contain golf's liveliest personality as CK won her first Ladies European Tour event, in Sicily. If all the players on the LPGA were this much fun the tour would have a lot more than a dozen domestic events.

1. Tiger. He played pretty well in spurts but was undone by way too many soft bogeys. Reps, reps, reps, all he needs is more reps, according to the man himself. And yet now Woods goes underground for another month. Baffling.

2. Briny Baird. Nice playing for 72 holes, but in sudden death this winless journeyman had a handful of putts to seize the victory and he couldn't shake one into the hole. At least he still has the best name in golf.

3. Ernie Els. He had a piece of the lead throughout much of the front nine on Sunday but misfired on a pair of short birdie putts to short-circuit his bid. I thought the belly putter was supposed to put an end to that?

4. The PGA Tour. The lords of Ponte Vedra are still trying to prevent reporters from live-tweeting play-by-play from tournament sites. Because, you know, stimulating fan interest is bad for the game.

5. Lee Westwood. He's trying to drum up interest in a "major" in Asia. Isn't that what the WGCs are for?

{GBF Life + Style} Coral Floral Spring Trends

Friday, March 22, 2013

My NYC trip is quickly coming to an end. What a trip! Soon, I will be back in sunny LA where spring has sprung and all traces of teeth clattering east coast weather will stay frozen in an ice block of amnesia. Right before l left for New York, I wore this outfit to West Hollywood for a fun video project. Corals and florals (tongue twisters) are always impactful spring color trends and can instantly brighten up an outfit. I don't usually wear them together but am glad I experimented with the combination. Not only did the outfit brighten up an otherwise overcast day, it put me in a cheery mood. It's hard to look sad when you're wearing happiness from head to toe.

The outfit was purchased from T.J. Maxx, a store that never fails to impress me with its impressive and well-curated selection of designer pieces. They're holding a fabulous contest to find the best Maxx Style so submit your looks for a chance to win a $500 gift cardI'm especially enamored with my sandals. I've been looking for a pair of color rich moroccoan inspired feet dazzlers for years and these fit the bill perfectly. If I could glue these sandals to my feet for the next five months, I would. Perhaps by then the sandals will permanently fuse to my feet and I won't need the glue anymore although that might affect my bi-weekly foot massages at Master Wong's. That would be the only drawback.

T.J.Maxx gives women more possibilities to express their personal style by carrying the hottest trends and current season designer fashions at unbelievable prices.

The Strangest Things People Found in Their Parents' Homes After They Died

It's amazing what you can't see hidden inside the walls ...

Most Popular

Think about the one thing in your home you would hate for anyone else to see. That's precisely why you probably have it hidden deep in your closet. But in a way, those secrets are just waiting to get out. For example, a lot of people don't even expect what they find when they have to go through their parents' belongings after they pass away. These people on Quora shared their most surprising discoveries, which were shocking, to say the least.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

1. Liquor bottles hidden in the walls.

We're talking at least 300 of them. Quora user, Cardinal Robbins, explains that this was her dad's solution to his drinking problem. "Most of the bottles' labels had deteriorated, but they were almost all identical in shape and size," she says. "Once he switched to drinking a fifth of Jim Beam (and a six-pack of Schlitz) per day, he found a different way to dispose of the bottles."

Most Popular

2. Stacks of dirty magazines.

When Quora user, Katelyn Robertson, cleaned out her grandfather's home, she discovered he wasn't who she thought he was. "My grandfather was a straight-laced, proper gentleman," she says. "He cared deeply about appearances, both with grooming habits and relationships, which is why we were so surprised when we found [them]." We're talking a huge stack of '70s dirty magazines, guns, marijuana and stacks of 100 dollar bills.

3. Pills for, how do we say this, romantic occasions.

Unfortunately for Quora user, Ann Silberman, she learned her dad liked to keep pills to help him get an erection all over the house, including in the living room, kitchen, bathroom and, of course, the bedroom. "The strange part (for me) wasn't the product, just the locations and how much. It was like he never wanted to be more than a couple feet away from it," she says.

4. A very revealing marriage certificate.

Even though Quora user Ian Halliday says his mother had unfavorable things to say about people who got pregnant out of wedlock, it seems she was the product of it. At least, that's what Halliday discovered on his grandparents' wedding certificate. "Her parents were married in May 1926 and not in May 1925 as she had always insisted," he says. "She went to her grave either in ignorance or denial. Her birthday was in October 1926."

5. Countless jars of canned food.

It wasn't the food in his grandparents' home that surprised Quora user, John Sergent — it was the sheer amount of them. "Closets that had seemed to be only a couple rows deep turned out to be arm depth, and there were more under the bed and in the back room of the shop," he says. The dates ranged from the mid-1970s to the 1990s — even his last grandparent died in 2002.

6. The truth about a first marriage.

Even though Quora user Andie DeLuca knew her mother was married twice, she always thought her second marriage ended in divorce. "When she died and I got the death certificate, I found out that she was widowed, not divorced from her second husband," she says. "I knew he had died when I was a child, but I thought they were divorced before that. He died of multiple myeloma."

7. Love letters to other women.

It wasn't the fact that these letters weren't to Quora user Adrienne Dawn Lawrence's mother that was the issue, it's that he was a Catholic priest. "He had a brief intellectual relationship (never romantic, but occasional sex … obviously) with my mother, a student in one of his classes," she says. But it apparently wasn't just Lawrence's mother in the picture: "He was in his mid-fifties when I was born and had romantic relationships with at least half a dozen women since his 20s."

NOHQGRAPHIC COMPUTER SCANNING MEANS Filed larch 4. 1964 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. 0006248 I? 1404446 I rfa lye;

United States Patent 3,350,156 NOMOGRAPHI'C COMPUTER SCANNING MEANS Douglas P. Adams, Cambridge, Mass assignor to the United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force Filed Mar. 4, 1964, Ser. No. 349,512 4 Claims. (Cl. 350-202) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nomographic computer scanning means for presentation of a light picture of a film memory containing count able bits thereon, wherein the film memory is fixed and a moving optical retrieval system provides for high speed reading. The retrieval system utilizes a rotatable dove prism and an associated lens arrangement which receives light energy which was projected through the film memory. A lens system which rotates at twice the speed of the dove prism and associated lens arrangement is provided for directing the light energy from the film memory to the dove prism and associated lens arrangement.

This invention relates generally to film scanners and, more particularly, to a machine which reads countable bits recorded on film to accord with solutions of a nomogram.

Nomography has been combined with electronics to form an automatic, digital-graphical hybrid known as a nomographic computer. A nomogram has a scale for each variable represented wherein each scale has a single value or a set of values associated with every point thereon by express or implied computation. Conversely, the associated value would cause the point to be placed in its position on its scale in order to imply the value to the observer. The nomogram is capable of being converted to a pattern of marks recorded on film or magnetic tape which is capable of being read by photoelectric cells or tape reading means such that a digital counting system may be utilized to compute desired values for a particular equation represented by a bit nomogram. This invention concerns the reading of such bit memories by opticalmechanical means.

Previously, an optical-mechanical system for reading bit memories involved the utilization of film having silvered bits thereon and arranged around a moving light system such that the light was reflected from the silvered bits on the film to a photo-electric circuit, both being mounted on a control column. This device provided poor reflection, and light diffusion and difiraction patterns resulted at high speed densities such that the integrity of the bit pattern was destroyed, thereby rendering the reading system unusable.

By utilizing a fixed memory device the moving optical retrieval system of this invention provides relatively high speed reading. The device is not only compact, but is able to utilize a memory length which contains a significant amount of information. In addition, the device is reliable and has the ability to serve as a testing apparatus for the computing element used with the system. The access time to any bit of information is very small and is set by the associated circuitry.

Accordingly, it is a primary object of this invention to provide a film scanning device which uses a moving optical retrieval system and a fixed memory device.

It is another object of this invention to provide a compact film scanning system which provides high speed operation with film strips having countable bits thereon in rasters.

It is still another object of this invention to provide a film scanning system which enables the utilization of high bit densities on a fixed film memory device.

It is a further object of this invention to provide a film scanning device which utilizes conventional, currently available materials that lend themselves to standard mass production manufacturing techniques.

These and other advantages, features and objects of the invention will become more apparent from the following description taken in connection with the illustrative embodiment in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIGURE 1 is a schematic diagram of the optical system for a fixed memory moving optics system; and

FIGURE 2 is a partially schematic representation of the component arrangement for producing the desired speed relationship between the various portions of the moving optical system.

Referring to FIGURE 1, there is shown a schematic of the optical path of light in the fixed memory, moving optics system of this invention. The heart of the system is a dove prism 10 which is a conventional trapezoidal prism, the use of which differs in no way from its use in panoramic scanners of the type utilized in modern tanks and submarines. The prism 10 orients the image field for an observer regardless of the direction orientation of the scanning head in which it is mounted relative to the observer. The dove prism has a reflecting surface 12 such that the prism takes light approximately parallel to its axis and causes it to undergo one mirror reflection prior to leaving parallel to the axis.

An explanation of the theory involved with the utilization of a dove prism may be found in the article entitled. Countable-bit Nomographic Electronic Computation- Noel, by Douglas P. Adams, which appears in the book Workshop on Computer Organization, by Spartan Books, Inc., copyright 1963. In addition, an explanation of nomograms and films containing the bits of information which are utilized with the reading device of this invention may also be found in said article.

The elements on the vertical optical axis shown in FIGURE 1 are mounted for relative rotation as will be described relative to FIGURE 2. The fixed memory is arranged in a circle with the optical axis at its center and comprises a slightly diffusing plexiglass double cone reflector 14, the apeces of which lie on the vertical optical axis and a film holder 29 which supports and positions the film 28. Only that portion of the field being scanned is illuminated and this is performed by presenting the light from a high powered light source 16 through an illuminating lens 18 for projection to an illuminating prism 20 which has a reflecting surface 22. Mirror surfaces at 24 and 26 of the double conical reflector 14 receive light from the reflecting surface 22 of the illuminating prism 20 and presents the rays to the rear side of the circularly arranged film 28 which contains the bit memory by having the bits of information applied thereon in rasters, i.e., evenly spaced rulings or columns of bits.

The bits could either be cutouts in an opaque piece of film 28 or, alternatively, could be clear, transparent portions on an opaque field. The light which emanates from a clear portion on the film is presented to a scanning prism 30 which has a reflecting surface at 32. Since the dove prism is required to be operated only on nearly parallel light, the scanning prism 30 has its focal point on the film. The film 28 could be mounted by means of an extension of the double conical reflector 14 shown at 29 or, alternatively, a separate film mounting cylinder could be provided. The rays which have been applied through the film 28 to the scanning prism are projected through a lens 34 which takes the light and projects it parallel to the axis of the lens system to the dove prism 10 which, in accordance with the principles expounded in the aforementioned article, applies the resultant beams to a projector lens 36 which presents the image at 38 to a photomultiplier bank 39 in order to provide electrical pulses for the computing element.

Thus, the aforementioned optical system provides a source of illumination which has the light emitted to and directed by an illuminating lens to an illuminating prism. The prism directs the light to a pair of slightly diffusing, plexiglass reflector surfaces which direct the rays down from one reflector face to the opposite reflector face in order to have the light enter a film cylinder or holder to be projected through the film with slots which indicate bits of information. The light emanating from the slots is applied to a scanning prism and reflected therefrom to a rotating lens which applies focal rays of light to a dove prism, the exit beams from which are applied to a fixed lens which focuses the rays to a point which results in an image indicating the bit from the film.

The presentation of bits from the film 28 onto the final field at 38 has a motion parallel to itself in translation as the members 22, 30 and 10 turn; the rotation of the image being eliminated by the dove prism as explained in the aforementioned article. It is clear that the elimination of the rotational effect is achieved by rotating the prism 10 at one-half the speed of the scanning elements 20 and 30.

FIGURE 2 illustrates in a somewhat schematic form the component arrangement which would provide a 2:1 ratio between a scanning head 40 and a dove prism holder 42 which also provides a mount for the planetary gearing system to achieve the desired ratio. Smanning head 40, therefore, provides a mounting means for the bulb 16, illuminating lens 18 scanning or, illuminating prism 20, scanning prism 30 and lens 34. Holder 42 provides a mount for the dove prism 10 and lens 36. Conventional mounting means would be utilized within scanning head 40 and holder and 42 for maintaining the components in their proper relative relationship.

The light source 16 and lenses 18, 34 and 36 need not be mounted for rotation with the remaining elements of the optical system since their rotation does not effect the end result; however, for convenience of construction these lenses and light source are mounted, as described, in their appropriate holders. The light source 16 and lenses 18 and 36, for example, could be external of the entire device and fixed while lens 34 could be mounted in the dove prism holder 42.

Arrows on FIGURE 2 indicate the direction of rotation of the elements with the desired 2:1 ratio between the scanning head 40 and the dove prism holder 42 maintained to avoid rotational displacement of the optical image caused by scanning head rotation.

The scanning head 40 rides in a bearing 44 which is formed as a part of the holder 42. An additional bearing 46 is provided at the top of the bottom portion of the dove prism holder 42 for easy rotation of the scanning head 40 within. The dove prism holder 42 also functions as planetary gear mount and is shaped in the form of a yoke which has a vertical portion 48 orientated parallel to the optical axis of the system. Arms 50 and 52 complete the yoke connection of 48 with the bottom portion of the dove holder for rotation therewith.

Although a single planetary gear set is shown, it should be understood that in practice, three planetary gear sets would be utilized such that the same moment of inertia about any diametrical axis would be provided in order to minimize vibration. By resting the scanning head 40 through the bearings 44 and 46 in the dove prism holder 42, high speed, large diameter bearings are eliminated. A fixed ring gear 54 is provided to mesh with a planet gear set 56, 58 which is arranged to rotate on a bearing 60 on vertical arm 48. Thus, rotation of the-dove prism in the direction of the arrow on the arms 50, 52 causes a rotation of gears 58, 60 in the direction of the arrow on gear 56. A sun gear 62 which is fixed to the scanning head 40 would be rotated in a clockwise direction as indicated by its arrow. Thus, both the scanning head 40 and the dove prism holder and planet gear mount 42 are rotated in the same direction with a 2:1 ratio. A pair of bearings 64 would be provided in a fixed support in order to maintain the orientation of the device and allow for rotation of holder 42.

It is contemplated that the drive for the unit could be applied in a conventional manner and could be either an electric motor or a pneumatic turbine wheel arrangement to the scanning head 40. The drive means, however, could be applied to either the scanning head 40 or the dove prism tube 42.

The device has been built with an optical path from film to photomultiplier of 23 inches and the unit has been operated at a speed ratio of 20,000 to 10,000 r.p.m. with bit densities approaching 250 bits per inch.

Thus, there has been described a film scanner which utilizes a fixed memory and a moving optical retrieving system which allows the entire optical path to be sealed from other components, and the mechanical drive to be sealed with respect to the atmosphere, lubrication being provided by a conventional oil pump. The resultant image from the afore-described device is applied to a photomultiplier 39 which counts the bits and applies the information to a digital computer for achieving a solution.

Although the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it will be understood to those skilled in the art that the invention is capable of a variety of alternative embodiments within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
