These balls vary in size. Most commonly, they are about 1 cm ( 1⁄ 2 in) in diameter, but they may range from less than 1 mm ( 1⁄ 30 in) to over 8 cm (3 in), while some art glass marbles for display purposes are over 30 cm (12 in) wide. Marbles can be used for a variety of called marbles. They are often, both for nostalgia and for their aesthetic colors. In the North of England the objects and the game are called 'taws', with larger taws being called bottle washers after the use of a marble in, which were often collected for play. Game of Marbles, In the early twentieth century, small balls of stone, identified by archaeologists as marbles, were found on excavation near.: 553 Marbles are often mentioned in Roman literature, as in 's poem Nux (which mentions playing the game with walnuts), and there are many examples of marbles from excavations of sites associated with Chaldeans of and ancient Egypt. They were commonly made of clay, stone or glass. Marbles arrived in, imported from the, during the.: 19 In 1503 the town council of Nuremberg, Germany, limited the playing of marble games to a meadow outside the town. It is unknown where marbles were first manufactured, but the 'original' marbles were designated 'made in Germany'. The game has become popular throughout the US and other countries. [ ] marbles entered inexpensive in the 1870s. [ ] A German invented, a device for making marbles, in 1846.: 148 The first mass-produced toy marbles (clay) made in the US were made in, Ohio, by S. Dyke, in the early 1890s. Some of the first US-produced glass marbles were also made in, by James Harvey Leighton. In 1903, —also of, Ohio—made the first machine-made glass marbles on his patented machine. His company, The M. Christensen & Son Co., manufactured millions of toy and industrial glass marbles until they ceased operations in 1917. The next US company to enter the glass marble market was. This company was started by in 1911, but located in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Today, there are only two American-based toy marble manufacturers: Jabo Vitro in, Ohio, and Marble King, in, West Virginia. Marbles games [ ] In Australia, games were played with marbles of different sizes. The smallest and most common was about 15 mm ( 5⁄ 8 in) in diameter. The two larger, more valuable sizes were referred to as semi-bowlers and tom-bowlers, being about 20 mm ( 3⁄ 4 in) and 25 mm (1 in) in diameter respectively. They were used in much the same way as ordinary marbles, although sometimes they would be declared invalid because of the advantage of their larger mass and inertia. Owners of large marbles were also afraid to use them lest they be lost to another player as 'keepsies'. They were usually of the clear 'cat's eye' or milk glass type, just bigger. 'Firing' a marble meant that a player had to flick his/her marble from a stationary position of his hand. No part of the hand firing the marble was permitted to be in front of the position where the marble had been resting on the ground. Using that hand, (s)he would flick or fire the marble from his/her hand, usually with the knuckle on the back of his/her hand resting on the ground, and usually using the thumb of that hand to do so. All shots of the game were conducted in this manner throughout except the very initial pitch towards the bunny hole that started the game. Once a player was able to land his/her marble within the hole, (s)he would immediately then fire his marble at his opponents' marbles. However, if any player hit another player's marble before his/her own marble had been to 'visit' the bunny hole, the act would be referred to as 'a kiss'; the game would be over, and all or both players (in the case of two players only) would have to retreat back to the starting line to restart the game, without result. This, of course, could be quite annoying or frustrating if a player had already built up quite a few hits on another player's marble! So, most skilled players did not resort to this kind of tactic. The overall aim was to hit a particular marble 3 times after getting into the hole, then you had to 'run away', before the final contact shot was allowed to be played - which was called 'the kill'. Once a player made a kill on another marble, if the game was 'for keeps', (s)he would then get to keep the marble [bunny] (s)he had 'killed'. The format of playing this game was that each time you successfully hit another player's marble, you were to have another shot - even if it was not the marble you had originally intended to hit. Of course, the ploy was to hit the particular opponent marble 3 times, and then 'run away' to the bunny hole, because once you rested the marble into the hole, you immediately had your shot again, thus leaving no opportunity at all for your opponent to retreat his/her marble before 'the Kill' was made on it. In, there are many games with marbles. One simple game with marbles is called 'Cara' in which every player puts one or more marbles in a long line of marbles with each marble being one centimeter or slightly more, apart from each other. After this, each player throws another marble as far as possible from the line, perpendicularly. In this game, the player whose marble is farthest from the line of marbles gets the first chance to hit the marble's line and subsequent players who get to hit the line have their distance from the line in decreasing order. Any player who hits and displaces a marble in the line of marbles gets to take that and all marbles to the right of it. Usually, marbles in the line are smaller marbles and the players have bigger marbles for hitting the line of smaller marbles.This game needs the playground to be flat and hard and with no loose soil for effecting games of 'Cara'. The distances of the marbles thrown determine order of players who get to hit the line are anywhere from 10 to 30 meters and may depend on player's desire to hit the marble line first and how much risk they will take so that they would be at some distance and yet be able to hit the line of marbles and get more than 2 marbles. Players have to roll their marbles from a distance to hit the line of marbles. 3 new mooring boats under construction 3 new mooring boats are currently under construction at the shipyard. One boat in 9-meter version will be delivered to a French. Each player gets to hit the line of marbles only once assuming there are marbles left in the line and every player gets a turn in a order. In a line of twenty marbles, its reasonable to get at least 5 to 20 marbles depending on how skillful somebody is at hitting the line of marbles. When all marbles are taken by players as above the game is restarted with players putting their marbles in the line and trying to win as many marbles as possible.If some marbles are left in the line after each player takes a chance, the players again throw their marbles perpendicularly to this line and start to roll their marble to hit the line according to the above rules. This process is repeated until all marbles are taken in the game. In, a popular marbles game is called dool. It requires a small pit dug in the ground for two or more players, each with his own marble. To improvise, Ugandans also use the seeds of a tree, locally referred to as Kabakanjagala (The loves me). To start a game, a throwing line is drawn on the ground using chalk or a stick about a meter (or some feet) from the pit. Then the players roll their marbles close to the pit. The one whose marble falls in gets points equivalent to one game. If a second marble falls in and hits the first, a player gets more points than the previous player, but all have to return to the throwing line. When no marble falls in, the player whose marble rolls closest to the pit starts the firing session. When he misses, the next opponent fires. You can only fire 24 consecutive times per turn earning one point for each hit. But all that time, a player must make sure the gap between the marbles is bigger than two stretches of the hand. If an opponent realises that it isn't, then he can make a call, pick his marble and place it anywhere. When a player is targeting a marble placed near the hole, he must avoid knocking it into the hole or else give away an advantage. There are various rules for dool but the player with the most points wins. Favoured fingers include the middle finger for blasting strength and small finger for accurate long distance target. World championship [ ] The has been held at, West Sussex, England, every year since 1932. (Marbles has been played in Tinsley Green and the surrounding area for many centuries: magazine traces its origins to 1588. ) Traditionally, the marbles-playing season started on and lasted until midday on: playing after that brought bad luck. More than 20 teams from around the world take part in the championship, each Good Friday; German teams have been successful several times since 2000, although local teams from Crawley, and other Sussex and villages often take part as well; the first championship in 1932 was won by Ellen Geary, a young girl from London.

Some historic marbles Marble players often grow to collect marbles after having outgrown the game. Marbles are by many factors including condition, size, type, manufacturer/, age, style, materials, scarcity, and the existence of original packaging (which is further rated in terms of condition). A marble's worth is primarily determined by type, size, condition and eye-appeal, coupled with the law of supply and demand. Ugly, but rare marbles may be valued as much as those of very fine quality. However, this is the exception, rather than the rule - 'Condition is King' when it comes to marbles. Any surface damage (characterized by missing glass, such as chips or pits) typically cuts book value by 50% or more. Due to the large market, there are many related side businesses that have sprung up such as numerous books and guides, web sites dedicated to live of marbles only, and collector. Additionally, many glass artisans produce for the collectors' market only, with some selling for thousands of dollars. Manufacturing [ ]. A very large American-made marble making machine at, Devon, England Marbles are made using many techniques. They can be categorized into two general types: and machine-made. Marbles were originally made by hand. Or marbles can be fashioned by grinding.,,, or marbles can be made by rolling the material into a ball, and then letting dry, or firing, and then can be left natural, painted,. Clay marbles, also known as crock marbles or commies ( common), are made of slightly porous clay, traditionally from local clay or leftover earthenware ('crockery'), rolled into balls, then glazed and fired at low heat, creating an opaque imperfect sphere that is frequently sold as the poor boy's 'old timey' marble. Glass marbles can be fashioned through the production of glass rods which are stacked together to form the desired pattern, cutting the rod into marble-sized pieces using marble scissors, and rounding the still-malleable glass. One mechanical technique is dropping globules of molten glass into a groove made by two interlocking parallel screws. As the screws rotate, the marble travels along them, gradually being shaped into a sphere as it cools. Color is added to the main batch glass and/or to additional glass streams that are combined with the main stream in a variety of ways. For example, in the 'cat's-eye' style, colored glass veins are injected into a transparent main stream. Applying more expensive colored glass to the surface of cheaper transparent or white glass is also a common technique. Manufacturing locations [ ] There were a lot of businesses that made marbles in. One major marble manufacturing company is Marble King, located in, West Virginia, which was featured in the television shows, and. Currently, the world's largest manufacturer of playing marbles is Vacor de Mexico. The company makes 90 percent of the world’s marbles. Over 12 million are produced daily. Marbles are also made in China and may contain lead, arsenic, and/or cadmium due to the manufacturing process of old glass. Art marbles [ ]. Main article: Art marbles are high-quality collectible marbles arising out of the art glass movement. They are sometimes referred to as contemporary glass marbles to differentiate them from collectible antique marbles, and are spherical works of art glass. Collectible contemporary marbles are made mostly in the United States by individual artists such as. Art marbles are usually around 50mm marble (a size also known as a 'toe breaker'), but can vary, depending on the artist and the print. Games [ ] Video games [ ] • (2007) • (2003), a 'get to the finish' first person game for the PC and; a sequel, (2006), was released later for the. • (1997), a computer game wherein players place marbles in a complicated apparatus in an attempt to solve a puzzle. • (1984), an Atari game wherein players race each other to the finish line. • (1991), a game for,, and. • (2007), a game for the PC and. •, an action role-playing game that uses a marble-like system called 'Tin Pin Slammer' as the basis for several plot events but requires the use of pins instead of marbles.

This way, you don’t need to swap discs, you can play your movies in any app you want, and you can even. You can even add your old DVD collection. If you want to rip your DVDs, this process will work as well, but we’ll focus on Blu-Rays— is a little different. What You’ll Need You’ll need a few tools in order to start ripping your Blu-Ray collection. Before you begin, make sure you have installed the following: • A Blu-Ray drive. If your computer came with any disc drive at all, it was probably a DVD drive. However, you’ll need a Blu-Ray reader in order to rip your Blu-Ray discs (obviously). Fortunately, you can get them online. If you want to burn your own Blu-Ray discs, you’ll need a drive that can read and write to blank Blu-Rays, but we’ll assume you just want to store them on your hard drive. •: This application, available for both Windows and macOS, rips your Blu-Rays to an MKV file. That’s it. MakeMKV offers a free beta that works for 30 days, but that’s a little misleading. Every month, you can either download the latest version of the beta or activate the application. This effectively extends the trial period indefinitely. MakeMKV claims that it’s only a beta product, but it’s been in “beta” for years, so it may stay free for a long time. Right now, you shouldn’t have to pay for this program. •: MakeMKV will rip your Blu-Ray movie exactly as it is on the disc, which can be over 20 or 30GB in size. So, we’ll use Handbrake to compress your MKV files to something a little more manageable, without losing much quality. It’s not strictly necessary, but it’s a waste of resources to store, play, and stream huge video files if you don’t need to. This is all you need. Once you have all three of these things installed, grab your favorite Blu-Ray movies and get started. Step One: Rip Your Blu-Ray With MakeMKV. First, you’ll need to do a basic rip of your Blu-Ray. MakeMKV is a dead simple app that does one thing really well: make a full-size, 1080p from your Blu-Ray disc. Once you have your MKV, you can shrink it, convert it, or modify it however you want. You can even watch it as-is, if you prefer, but it’s probably better if you shrink it down a bit later. To rip your movie, put the disc in your Blu-Ray drive and open MakeMKV. After a moment, a big Blu-Ray drive icon will appear. Click this to scan the titles on your disc. Once MakeMKV is done scanning for titles, you’ll see a list of them in the left-hand panel of the app. You can choose which titles you want to rip here. This list will include special features, deleted scenes, and anything else on the disc. It may take a little guess work to figure out which tracks are which, but if you just want the movie, it’s probably the really big track that takes up around 20-30GB on the disc. Select just the tracks you want to rip. Next, on the right side of the window, choose the folder where you’d like to place the MKV file. This should be on a hard drive that has plenty of free space. You can see an estimate of how big the file should be in the Info section, but assume that you’ll need an extra 20+ GB or so just in case (which you’ll need later for converting your file anyway). When you’re ready, click the Make MKV button with the green arrow. MakeMKV will take a while to rip your movie (usually about 20 to 30 minutes). A green progress bar will let you know how far along the process is. If at any point you need to cancel the rip, click the orange stop icon. Once the rip is done, you’ll see a pop up like this one. You can now take the disc out of your disc drive, and even start a new rip if you want. At this point, if you want to watch your movie, you can load it up in VLC, Plex, Kodi, or any other video player that supports MKVs and start watching. If you don’t care about saving space on your hard drive, you can stop here. However, we’re going to tweak things to make your library a little cleaner and more efficient. Step Two: Shrink Your Movies to a Reasonable Size With Handbrake If you open the folder with your newly ripped movie in it, you’ll notice that it’s probably huge. To fix this, launch Handbrake and choose File to open a single video. You can also choose Folder (Batch Scan) to scan several video files at once, if you have multiple rips you want to convert. This step will only scan details about the files before you convert them, so you can choose a folder containing all of your rips at once, then decide how to convert them later. Once Handbrake is done scanning your files, you’ll see a window like the one below. If you batch scanned several movies at once, you can choose which one you want to convert by clicking the Title drop down in the Source section. Once you’ve chosen your title, click Browse under the Destination section to choose where you want to put your converted files. Next comes the tougher part: choosing your quality settings. The easiest way to do this is to pick a preset from the right side of the app window. Which one you choose will depend on how much of the original video you want to preserve. For example, you may want to see every glorious detail of the robot fights in Pacific Rim because that movie was designed with high resolution special effects in mind. On the other hand, you probably won’t miss much if you compress your copy of, because it’s a comparatively low-budget indie comedy movie that doesn’t have a ton of effects. Besides, jokes are funny regardless of resolution. With that in mind, you have a few options for shrinking your movies: • Use a high quality, high resolution preset: All Blu-Rays ship in 1080p, but the rip you made with MakeMKV is still uncompressed from the version on the disc. Choose a preset like Super HQ 1080p30 Surround to keep as much detail as possible while still shrinking the file size. This is the best option to go with for visually intense or special effects heavy movies. (Note, however, that if you want higher quality audio, you may want to go to the “Audio” tab and change the “AAC” dropdown to “DTS Passthru” or “AC3 Passthru”, depending on whether the original audio is DTS or AC3). • Use a high quality, lower resolution preset: Technically includes both 1080p and 720p. Stepping down to 720p might sound like it’s a huge drop in quality, but in most cases, it’s not. In fact, a high quality 720p file with with minimal compression will usually look better than a lower quality 1080p rip with a lot of compression. If you want to reduce your file size further without sacrificing too much video quality, use a preset like Super HQ 720p30 Surround or HQ 720p30 Surround. This is ideal for movies where the visuals aren’t that important, or ones that won’t look that good compared to modern movies anyway. Comedies, low-budget action movies, or just movies you don’t care about very much can fit into this category. • Use a low quality, lower resolution preset: The last two presets should cover you for most things, but if you need to prioritize saving space and just don’t care about picture quality for some movies, you can drop down to a lower quality and lower resolution preset like Very Fast 720p30 to save a ton of space. This is perfect for those movies in your “bad movie” collection like Sharknado, Birdemic, or the new Fantastic Four. It’s up to you to decide whether you care more about high quality video or saving space on your hard drive. Fortunately, you can make that decision on a case by case basis. If you know what you’re doing, feel free to tweak any other advanced settings in the Video, Audio, and Subtitles tabs—if the video quality isn’t high enough for you, for example, you may want an RF of 16 instead of 18 under the “Video” tab. For most people, though, these basic presets should do the trick. Lastly, under “Container”, you can choose MP4 or MKV. MKV offers more features and can contain slightly higher quality video, but MP4 is compatible with more devices, especially mobile devices like the iPhone. Check the device you want to play the file on—if it supports MKV, go with MKV, if not, go with MP4. When you’re ready to go, click the green Start Encode button to begin converting your video. Alternatively, you can click Add to Queue and move on to the next title that you scanned, then click the green Start Queue button when you’ve finished selecting presets for all of your movies. Once your files are done converting, they should be anywhere from a little to a lot smaller. Play them to make sure that they’re an acceptable quality level for you, then you can delete the original rips. Now you’re ready to add your movies to your library and start watching.

We are happy to share the results. Vladimir Kramnik beat Magnus Carlsen for the first time in 7 years to move within a mere 6.4 rating points of stealing the World Champion’s no. An out-of-form Carlsen would now need to win both remaining games simply to reach 50%, while Levon Aronian is flying – victory over the hitherto unbeatable Sergey Karjakin took him into the sole lead on +3. A sensational day of chess also saw Anish Giri grab his second win in Stavanger, leaving MVL to quip about his joint last place, “Generally when you’re sharing a spot with Magnus it’s good news”. This time it wasn’t! Tough times for the no. 1, who's struggling even to control his hair| photo: Lennart Ootes Kramnik explained that the tournament was simply “too strong” to go into it without being well-prepared: Here I can see that he’s struggling. He’s getting nothing with White and struggling with Black. It’s very difficult, even if you’re Magnus. To me it’s quite obvious that his openings with Black are not that great at the moment. Kramnik noted that Carlsen had barely made it out of the opening against Aronian, and in Round 7 Vlad managed to spring a surprise on move 12: Actually I expected Magnus to go for something sharp. Today was probably the last chance for him to fight for something in this tournament, so I was mainly preparing for a kind of Sicilian I didn’t expect him to play his normal repertoire, but fortunately this 12.Bd3 I was preparing for somebody else in this tournament, since it’s not my first Italian here. I think it’s a very, very dangerous move. Was Vlad happy? Of course I’m very happy because I haven’t won against Magnus for quite a while. I have to admit that most of the time in recent years I was having Black with Magnus. It was epidemical.

Chess Titans, one of the most loved chess games by users of. I think I had like out of ten games eight Black, or something, so it’s quite difficult. The comment on colours isn’t entirely borne out by the facts, though Carlsen was White in the previous three classical games, but Kramnik was correct about it being a while. In fact he last beat Magnus back in Bilbao in 2010. It’s curious that at the time questions were also being asked about the world no. 1, with Sergey Shipov summing up: What’s up with Magnus Carlsen? The question’s becoming real. His current form (at the Olympiad and at the start of Bilbao) is simply horrifying. The level of his play has dropped catastrophically. The fighter isn’t keeping his concentration, he’s miscalculating, letting even simple resources escape his attention. But he has to play! The contracts have already been signed, there’s no way to get out of it. Well, we hope Magnus and his team can get through this difficult period. He’s risen up high and shouldn’t fall low. And after failures new victories should follow His opponent’s problems do nothing to lessen the brilliant play of Vladimir Kramnik. He was himself – he played a clean and even textbook game. Anand, Viswanathan 2804 6 1969 Carlsen, Magnus 28 Aronian, Levon 28 Kramnik, Vladimir 27 Topalov, Veselin 2786 9 1975 In the wake of winning Bilbao Kramnik gave. He reflected on the ratings and felt that Magnus’ previous big lead had been an anomaly: In chess, as in any other form of sport, there are good runs and bad runs. The rating which Magnus acquired when he was on a good run didn’t, it seems to me, reflect the true state of affairs among the elite. At the given moment there are five roughly equal players – Anand, Aronian, Carlsen, Kramnik and Topalov (the surnames can be arranged in any order), who are playing stronger than the others. The interview is remembered for another quote, though: Yury Vasiliev: It seems as though you’ve become a classic “inconvenient” opponent for Magnus Vladimir Kramnik: In terms of results, yes. I’ve got a good score against him, and I’ve also regularly beaten him in rapid chess. For now I’m a very tough opponent for him. You could even say, using the professional slang, that for now Magnus is my “client”. But I understand perfectly well that it won’t always be that way, especially as time is working in his favour. Given that we’re playing together in the Candidates Tournament, and also the fact that it’s entirely possible that we’ll meet there “on a narrow path”, it’s clear that he’ll work very seriously specifically in order to improve his play against me. Magnus is young, he’s developing, and the main thing is that he’s mentally resilient. This guy won’t lose heart after temporary setbacks. I understand that completely and I don’t have any illusions, but for now I’m his problem, rather than him being mine. The rest, as they say, is history. Until yesterday Kramnik hadn’t beaten Carlsen again in classical chess, while Magnus racked up four wins. He regained the no. 1 spot on the next rating list, then lost it again to Anand on the one after that, then from July 2011 onwards has topped every official rating list, reaching an astronomical rating of 2882 in May 2014, when he was 67 points ahead of Alexander Grischuk in second place. It’s remarkable that since they were introduced in 1971: Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Veselin Topalov, Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen. .but first they need to get there! Before that, though, we can break out the popcorn to watch the unfolding spectacle of whether the world no. 1 spot will change hands before the end of the tournament. With Carlsen playing his World Championship opponents Karjakin and Anand you can’t rule anything out. While it was hard to take your eyes off Kramnik-Carlsen, we were spoiled for drama wherever we looked: MVL 0-1 Giri: No Hammer here The “If you can't spot the Hammer, it's probably you” quip that Magnus directed at Giri after the opening blitz is threatening to backfire spectacularly. While things have gone from bad to worse for the World Champion, Anish got his suffering out of the way early on with a loss to Nakamura in the first classical game. Since then he’s drawn four and won two, and has been getting the type of excellent positions he got in the 2016 Candidates Tournament. The difference this time is that he's also converting a healthy number of them into wins. Tournament venue with a view: the Stavanger Concert Hall| photo: Lennart Ootes In Round 7 against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave it was an opening triumph in a topical Sicilian Dragon. Anish said he’d revised his notes just before the game and could still recite all the forced draws - with best play from both sides. Instead he got more than he bargained for: I didn’t expect it to be double-edged. In fact this variation is very, very forcing. I thought it would be the first game to finish and a draw. Maxime, however, has struggled in Stavanger, dropping to -1 when he completely misevaluated a position against Nakamura. He said of the theoretical lines against Giri, “The problem is I saw them, but not today”. Both players confessed that after some point they were on their own and struggled to understand what was going on, so rather than giving the computer’s turning points it’s perhaps best simply to give one late position that illustrates how badly things had gone awry for Maxime. Only desperation can explain 31.Kc2 (after 31.g6 White might retain some swindling chances in a lost queen ending). The move at least had the virtue of cutting short a miserable day for the French no. There followed 31b3+! 32.Kd1 (the impossible dream goes on) 32Rc8! And since simply 34.gxf7+ Kh7! Would be game over, White resigned. Karjakin 0-1 Aronian: Russia’s defences breached While those were noteworthy games the encounter that might prove most significant for the tournament standings was a third win for Levon Aronian. The Armenian no. 1 had previously beaten the world’s top two players with the white pieces, but in Round 7 he showed how dangerous he can be with Black as well. If you haven’t seen it check out Artur Yusupov’s series of videos with Jan Gustafsson on the topic of. It was downhill from here for Sergey.| photo: Lennart Ootes Levon was downplaying his performance afterwards, but you needn’t necessarily believe a word! I think I’m fighting. I’m not playing particular good. I’m not playing better than usual. Asked about the source of his combative play he came up with: Sessions of poker with my friends prior to the tournament helped to build my aggression! Two fighting draws There’s not normally any reason to doubt Fabiano Caruana’s aggression at the chessboard, but his Queen’s Gambit Accepted choice against Wesley So came in for some light-hearted criticism from our commentary team – Jan Gustafsson mentioned playing like an 80-year-old man and pointed the finger at Fabiano’s coach Rustam Kasimdzhanov! The line Fabi played had indeed been played by Rustam and, not for the first time in Stavanger, Caruana stumbled into a position a pawn down with no counterplay in which he was merely grimly trying to hold on. He did it – opposite-coloured bishops came to the rescue – and can point to four draws in four games as Black as some kind of justification for his approach. Vishy and Hikaru's game was overshadowed by events elsewhere, but it was quite a fight| photo: Lennart Ootes The remaining draw between Viswanathan Anand and Hikaru Nakamura was yet again a Giuoco Piano, with Vishy commenting on that ancient opening: Surprisingly the Italian is one area where you can just say computers have revolutionised it, because it seems that we gave up way too early. The encounter was extremely sharp, with Vishy noting at one point in the post-mortem: “I wasn’t sure if I was in control or I was losing the plot!” Even the ending unexpectedly became one in which all three results were possible, though the draw was the logical outcome and saw Nakamura slip half a point behind Aronian at the top of the table.

Microtia is a birth deformity of the ear that occurs about one in 5,000-7,000 births, depending on varying statistics in different countries and in different ethnic races. When broken down in Latin, the term “microtia” is easy to understand. Micro=small; Otia=ear. Typical microtia, grade 3, looks like a little sausage-shaped Wrinkle of skin. A grade 2 microtia is a less severe form and often looks like a miniature ear. “In our jobs, especially yours, we can't get that friendly. My close friends have clerical positions, nothing to do with law enforcement, nothing at all. You can't get blown away operating Stellar Net software.” “The Thirteenth Rule.” began Alack, then he changed the subject, “when we get to Microsia, will they recognize you? The International Center for Atresia & Microtia Repair is a leading global facility for treatment of aural atresia and microtia. Joseph Roberson, a Board. Micro SIA with Lab on a Valve System from Ocean Optics. Grade 1 microtia is a minimally deformed ear. 5 in the section of the web site). In 90 percent of microtia, only one side is involved. There are twice as many right-sided microtias than left; microtia involves boys 65 percent of the time and girls 35 percent (see in the web site). What is Atresia? Mar 10, 2016 Microtia is the most common major congenital anomaly of the external ear but is rare enough that parents usually have never encountered it. Because of the. Atresia is absence or underdevelopment of the ear canal and middle ear structures. Microtia is almost always accompanied by atresia because the outer ear and the middle ear develop from one common block of tissue at the same time of development in the womb. About 15 percent of my microtia patients have what appears at first look to be a normal canal, but many of them are a “blind alley.” 3. What causes microtia, and did the parents do anything to cause microtia in their child? The exact cause (etiology) of microtia is somewhat obscure, but one sure thing is that the parents did not cause it and should not feel guilty. Although feelings of guilt are common amongst parents with a child having microtia, they certainly had nothing to do with the occurrence of the microtia, which is merely a “roll of the dice.” Children with microtia are great little kids who will lead normal productive lives with the support of their parents, family, physicians and friends. (See in the web site) 4. What is the risk of recurrence of microtia within the family and what are the chances that a microtia patient could also have children with microtia? When two people first conceive a child, the risk of that child’s having microtia is basically the same as any child born—one in 5-7,000. However, now that their child has microtia the risk jumps up to five percent, or put another way, 1 in 20 for subsequent children. These statistics are derived from the families of the first 1,000 children whose microtia I have repaired. One in every 20 of these children has a member of the immediate family (parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, or grandparents) with microtia. The risk of a child with microtia eventually having a child of his/her own with microtia is also one in twenty. What other medical problems are associated with microtia? The majority of patients with microtia have no other problems aside from the ear. Approximately one-third have underdeveloped bony and soft tissues on the involved side of the face (hemifacial microsomia) and 15 percent have facial nerve weakness. Other general abnormalities such as cleft lip, cardiac, or urological problems are encountered much less frequently (see fig. 3 and Table 2 in section of the web site). When does a child with microtia become aware of it? Children with microtia become aware of their differences at approximately 3 - 3½ years of age. Typically, they start comparing sides in a mirror and begin referring to their microtia as their “little ear.” 7. What should the parents tell their child with microtia when they discover that they are “different”? When the child discovers that he/she has a small ear, parents should tell the child that he/she was born with a small ear, and that the doctor is going to make it larger when the child is older—then treat the child as absolutely normal and not make a “big deal” about it. The only children I have ever seen bothered about their microtia before the age of 7 or 8 are those whose family is very worked up over it and transmits family anxieties to the child (see in the web site). At what age can microtia be repaired? I don’t operate on children with microtia before the age of six for two reasons: the technical reason is to allow the rib cartilage to grow large enough for carving an ear to match the opposite side; the psychological reason for waiting is that a child with microtia is neither concerned about the problem nor very cooperative before then. This makes post-operative care very difficult on the child and all those involved in their care (parents, doctors, nurses). Also, I feel that it is important for the child to be old enough to understand and personally “consent” to having the surgery. Why is the repair of microtia with living tissues so technically challenging? For long-term success in microtia repair, one must create a 3-dimensional ear sculpture from living cartilage in an acceptable time under operating room conditions, then develop a “pocket” under snug 2-dimensional skin to house that framework— without cutting off the circulation to that skin. It is like trying to place 5 lbs. Of plaster into a 2 lb. Bag, but doing it with living tissue! Furthermore, since cartilage can’t be visualized by X-ray as bone can, one never knows what the rib cartilage configuration will be like before surgery. Therefore, the surgeon must “make do” and sculpt a realistic ear framework with the cartilage encountered at surgery, no matter how difficult that may be. What are the current methods being used to correct microtia? The two main methods for repairing microtia depend upon the material used for the ear framework. One method uses a living sculpture from the patient’s own tissues (rib cartilage) and the other uses a framework of firm artificial plastic. This spells out the main difference between the two techniques: one type of ear is created from your own bodily tissues whereas the other is an ear of foreign material. (See in the web site.) 11. Does a surgically constructed ear grow, or do you have to rebuild the ear again when the child grows up? Ears created from the person’s own rib cartilage are alive and actually grow with the child (see ). Ear frameworks made from artificial, plastic and synthetic materials obviously can’t grow because they are not alive. What are the advantages of correcting microtia with living tissue? The advantage of correcting microtia with one’s own tissue is obvious. The new ear is sculpted from the patient’s own cartilage and skin and therefore is alive, grows with a child, and heals without problems. This allows a person to resume normal sports, swimming, and PE activities 4-6 weeks after surgery with no particular concerns. I have reconstructed ears for more than 1,500 patients with microtia and have followed a number of them for more than 20 years. Ears constructed by this method retain their form and have withstood the test of time—they should last a lifetime (see Fig.25 in the section of the web site). Are there limitations of sports activities that patients can perform after microtia repair? Basically, there are no limitations on activities. As stated above, because these ears are constructed from living tissue, I permit the microtia patient to participate in sports and swimming 5 weeks after surgery with no particular extra protection to the ear (or chest). During the years I have seen ears constructed from rib cartilage survive from every type of trauma imaginable. I ascribe this to the fact that they are living sculptures. (See in the web site.) 14. How much discomfort is there when using rib cartilage to reconstruct ears in children? The chest discomfort is handled well with intravenous medications during their one overnight stay (23 hours), and the ear doesn’t bother the child much at all. The morning after the rib cartilage operation, the child leaves the facility with a bottle of Tylenol and codeine syrup, which is required only on an “as-needed” basis for just a few days. There is little if any postoperative discomfort with the subsequent surgical stages, that, of course, only involve the ear itself. These are all done on an outpatient basis. Can one use the mother’s rib cartilage or tissue from another person or animal? Surgeons do kidney, heart, and liver transplants; why not cartilage transplants? Because tissue other than your own is a “foreign material,” to ensure success of organ transplants, a patient is required to take special drugs for the rest of his/her life to prevent rejection of those organs. These drugs have some serious side effects which are justifiable for a vital organ that one can’t live without such as a heart or a kidney, but unacceptable for a foreign cartilage transplant when I can instead harvest cartilage from the microtia patient’s own body in 20 minutes and sculpt it into a new ear in another 30 minutes. This makes foreign materials unnecessary.|. His web site provides information about surgical reconstruction of the missing outer ear, absent either from birth (microtia), or from traumatic injury. It is meant also to be a comprehensive information source for the family and patient with microtia and is derived from Dr. Burt Brent's personal experience in surgically repairing ears for more than 1,900 patients during a 30-year period. This information focuses on his total management of over 1,700 congenital microtia patients and the repair of their ears, but also includes relevant supplementary input from experience he has gained by managing more than 200 traumatic auricular deformities. Brent strictly limits his practice to repair of the outer ear, and has dedicated his professional life to helping children and other patients with microtia, traumatic ear loss, and cosmetic ear problems. When an infant is born with microtia, the family has many questions: 'Can our infant hear?;' 'Did we do anything wrong to make this occur?;' 'Will future children have the same deformity?;' and 'What can be done about the disfigurement of a missing auricle or gnarled ear remnant that marks our child as abnormal, and invites teasing and probing questions by outsiders?' The information herein will thoroughly address all these questions and more. About Microtia Dr. Arturo Bonilla’s Microtia-Congenital Ear Deformity Institute has evaluated thousands of children born with microtia and atresia. Bonilla has dedicated his practice exclusively to children born with microtia and atresia. He has evaluated and surgically reconstructed microtic ears on children from all over the world. Bonilla is a strong believer in using our own natural cartilage as the primary technique for ear reconstruction instead of a manufactured product. There is nothing that can react as well to any trauma, infection, etc as well as our own living tissue. Why Choose Us We are recognized and celebrated around the world for our efforts in pediatric ear reconstruction – specifically pertaining to microtia and atresia ear deformities.

The process of removing rock or earth from a solid, broken, or unconsolidated layer by means of an excavator, bulldozer, scraper, or similar machine. In earthwork practice, the term “excavation” may also include the entire work cycle, that is, digging, transportation, and dumping of the earth with excavators. Soft, loose, and dense rock is usually excavated directly from the solid formation by successive removal of layers of ground; rock that has been broken up beforehand is excavated from piles or loosened layers. Three types of excavation are distinguished according to the mutual position of the face and the horizon on which the machine is working: the face may be above or below the machine horizon, or a combination of the two arrangements may be used. Because digging is the principal component of the process of excavation, it is conventional to describe the process with respect to the specific resistance to digging. This quantity is affected by the physicomechanical properties of the rock or earth, the type of excavating machine used, the design and dimensions of the working member, and the procedure followed in working the face.

Digging a Basement: $500-$10,000+ Digging for a Fiberglass or Gunnite Pool: $400-$20,000 Most excavation work is done by heavy machinery. Although other equipment can be used, digging typically involves a or an excavator. A backhoe loader has both a rear-mounted digging bucket on a two-part hinged arm and a front shovel-bucket, and is often the only machinery used on small to medium projects. Excavation, Willem de Kooning's largest painting up to 1950, exemplifies the artist's innovative style of expressive brushwork and distinctive organization of space into loose, sliding planes with open contours. According to de Kooning, his point of departure was an image of women working in a rice field from Bitter Rice,. An excavator has a bucket, boom and cab mounted on a rotating platform that sits on tracks (like a tank) or wheels. Excavators are also called diggers or 360s, and excavators with tracks rather than wheels are sometimes called trackhoes. Typical costs: • Although most excavation companies hire out a machine and operator on an hourly basis ($40-$150 or more an hour) for a wide variety or work, they typically bid on residential excavation for the entire project based on the number of yards of dirt to be moved. It can cost $50-$200 per yard depending on local rates, the accessibility of the job site and its geology (soft soil, hard pan, boulders, etc), and whether the dirt excavated is left on site or hauled away. Prices can increase if the digging hits a rock shelf or other underground obstruction. Excavation companies usually charge at least $200-$1,200 or more, depending on location, travel time and type of equipment. Total costs will depend on the size and type of excavation project, as well as site-specific conditions. • For example, excavation for an in-ground fiberglass or gunnite pool kit might cost $400-$1,500 in an area with soft soil and no boulders or other obstructions, and as much as $5,000-$20,000 in a region with hardpan, boulders, rocks or other challenges. • With new house construction, excavating 2'-4' deep for a crawl space foundation and footers (the bottom of the foundation, which must be wider and extend below the frost line) can cost $800-$10,000 or more, depending on location and what's included. At GarageJournal.com [] a Pennsylvania homeowner reports paying $1,600 for a 28'x34' foundation excavation that took two days. • Digging a basement for new house construction can cost $500-$10,000 or more, depending on location and what is included. For example, an owner-builder [] reportedly spent $790 to dig the basement hole (with pouring concrete footings, foundations and a basement floor adding another $8,800). At DIYChatroom.com [] an Iowa homeowner reports paying $1,600 for a 2,238-square-foot basement with 10' basement walls, in an open field with the excavated dirt left in piles on the property. And at ContractorTalk.com [] a framing carpenter building a new house paid $6,000 for a basement excavation project that included digging about 800 yards of dirt, digging footers and a 200' driveway. • On an existing house, excavating outside a basement to install a waterproof barrier and footer drains can cost $5,000-$15,000 or more; for details, see. Related articles:,,, What should be included: • Excavation companies typically need to visit the property before bidding on a project, as site conditions have a major impact on costs. Excavation.net provides an overview of the different types of equipment that might be used on an excavation project. • Excavation for new home construction typically takes one to three days. Any topsoil on the site should be saved and set aside, and the rest of the excavated dirt may be put aside for later backfilling (refilling an excavation after the construction work is complete) and landscaping. Harbor Point Excavating in Washington displays before and after photos [] from different excavating projects. • Techniques vary depending on site conditions, the type of excavation and the equipment used. BobVila.com posts a video of excavating a trench [] for a new water line. A Canadian company demonstrates digging a pool [] using an excavator with interchangeable buckets. A Colorado construction company displays a video of digging a basement [] in tight conditions with a front end loader. Additional costs: • Excavation is typically just one step in a construction process. The land might be cleared and graded separately, or it can be done by the same company that does the excavation work. For more details, see and. Shopping for excavation: • Get several estimates. Ask for recommendations from local contractors or at nearby hardware and home improvement stores. • Ask detailed questions about the company's experience and equipment. Request for and check references from previous customers. Verify that the company is properly insured, bonded and licensed []; search for any complaints with the Better Business Bureau []. Request a written contract or agreement that specifies the work to be done and the rates to be charged. IMPORTING BY PRINT CAPTURE It is easier if file extensions are visible. Click Here to Check.

ANALOG AND DIGITAL ELECTRONICS, MICROCONTROLLERS, INSTRUMENTATION, HAM RADIO, WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS Updated 25 Apr '11 --> home/projects/pic-plot2/ e-mail: NEW! Visit our to know about our 10GHz activity Pic-Plot2 GPIB to USB converter Pic-plot now goes to USB! A perfect low cost solution to quickly get screen plots of your GPIB instrument on your laptop PC without complex software. It emulates the HP7470A operation on the GPIB side, and outputs the HP-GL data at the USB port to be read and stored on the PC by any capturing software. GPIB addresses and other set-and-forget parameters can be configured by a simple Setup menu, then no Dip-switches are used. Power is taken from the USB port to simplify cabling and get rid of a DC adaptor. The operation of this interface is not just limited to digital plotter emulation: any data intended to be received by a GPIB Device (addressable or listener only) can be captured from the instrument and brought out to the USB port, including raw measurement arrays or rasterized data for a graphic printer. It is based on a PIC16F628 microcontroller and an FT232R chip. PCB size is just 57x64mm. SCHEMATIC AND DETAILS The hardware of Pic-Plot2 interface is quite simple: the active components are a Microchip PIC16F628 microcontroller and an FT232 chip from FTDI. The microcontroller manages the GPIB protocol and signals, while the FT232 does the bridging between the USB and the microcontroller UART. No oscillator crystal is needed because the FT232 provides the 12 MHz clock for the microcontroller, and the 5V needed to supply the whole circuit are taken from the USB host PC. (click on picture to open in new window) The microcontroller does all the necessary jobs to emulate GPIB Device functionality, in both Listener and Talker mode, by recognizing addressing, commands and managing the Handshake lines. Controller mode is not needed for the intended functionality, and therefore is not supported. Once the device is addressed and it receives data from the Talker, the same data are forwarded from microcontroller UART to the FT232 at 38400 baud. Then the FT232 manages the USB communication to the host PC where a Virtual COM Port (VCP) has been created by installing the proper drivers. A standard A-B USB cable is needed for data and power connection. There is no power switch: the interface is ON whenever plugged to the host PC. Two LEDs (LD1-green, LD2-red) respectively indicate: - Successful bus enumeration - Data traffic (RX or TX) over USB bus A small pushbutton switch is provided to enter Setup mode. In this mode the PC is used to read/change a few set-and-forget parameters that are stored in the non-volatile memory of the microcontroller. Even if the GPIB cable can be left connected to the instrument, in Setup mode the GPIB port is not monitored by the Pic-Plot2. PrintCapture captures printer or plotter hardcopy output from your oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, or network analyzer and create an image file on.

Normal operation is restored at the end of Setup procedure, or unplugging-replugging the interface from the host PC. More details about Setup mode can be found in the section. Herebelow the drawing of the PCB layout and the close-up pictures of a mounted unit: The FT232R, which is the only SMT component, is mounted at the copper side of the PCB. External connections are the B-type USB female socket and the GPIB female socket. In addition, if the board will be enclosed in a box, the two pin connector in parallel with the Setup pushbutton will come handy to connect a panel mount one. PCB size is 57x64mm. F or this project we can supply mounted and tested units: check for prices and drop an to us. A quick reference manual in Italian and in English is available in the. SOFTWARE Once a Virtual COM Port is created at the USB host PC port, the Pic-plot2 will communicate through it. Similarly to its RS232 predecessor, the data it sends can be either: • captured using a communication software like Hyper-Terminal (38400baud, 8 bit, no parity, no flow control). Data files should be saved with the appropriate extension (.plt in the case of HPGL data or.txt in case of raw ASCII measurement data) and then post-processed with any software of your choice. • Captured, processed and stored using a specific SW that manages the data type sent over the GPIB bus. A very good example for screen-dump HPGL plots is the 7470.exe freeware application from John Miles: it perfectly manages device-initiated plots, displays them on the PC screen, and converts/saves plot images in most useful formats (including.gif and.pcx). For example, the.gif picture shown here is an HP8753A screenshot taken with Pic-Plot and the 7470.exe. More details about this software can be found in John Miles'. Apart of USB connectivity and the higher data rate, the Pic-plot2 maintains the same functionality of the previous RS232 version, therefore all considerations about capturing software and GPIB instruments remain valid. Plot example of 8753A VNA Plot example of 8757 SNA Plot example of 370A Curve Tracer Plot example of TDS754C Oscilloscope Plot example of 8560E Spectrum Analyzer There are also good commercial solutions that can be found online, like Plottergeist and PrintCapture. We have tested PrintCapture during the 30-days trial period, mostly verifying the print-through-GPIB capabilities of some oscilloscopes using our Pic-Plot with excellent results. |
