Od 1993 roku naszym udziałowcem jest notowane na giełdzie amsterdamskiej przedsiębiorstwo inżynieryjne - Grontmij NV. Bazę naszej działalności stanowi wykwalifikowany i doświadczony personel liczący 57 osób wsparty nowoczesną technologią i sprzętem.
Vertical Horizon to amerykański zespół pochodzący z Waszyngtonu, grający alternative rock. Założyli go w 1990 roku Matthew Scannell i Keith Kane, koledzy z Georgetown University. Do dzisiaj są jego członkami (obydwoje grają na gitarze i śpiewają), a obok nich na gitarze basowej gra Sean Hurley.
You may or may not know that Vertical Horizon are supporters of "Artists against Piracy" , an artist-driven coalition formed to give recording artists a voice in determining how their music is distributed on the Internet. So I have created a group for people to voice their opinions on this subject:
I'm using the penultimate 1.12 version in 2.0.0.11 and this feature doesn't work. Is this only available for the 3.0 version? Is it possible to be available for 2.0? Otherwise, very fine in Default theme. Especially like the expansive tabs and adjustable tabbar. Requested Feature: If at all possible, a toggle button between default tabbar and vertical would be useful. With only a few tabs open, the default tabbar works fine. With many tabs open, vertical tabs are best.

Zgodnie ze specyfikacją W3C, nie możemy użyć stylu vertical-align w elementach display: block; a jedynie w display: table; którego nie interpretuje Internet Explorer. Prezentuję sposób, jak zastosować vertical-align: middle; dla większości przeglądarek.
Przeglądarka IE nie interpretuje display: table; ani display: table-cell; Dlatego nie możemy dla niej użyć vertical-align. Stosujemy więc odpowiednio pozycjonowane warstwy zagnieżdżone. Druga warstwa jest ustawiona 50% od góry, co powoduje wyrównanie jej górnej krawędzi do środka warstwy pierwszej – traszkę za nisko. Dlatego trzecia warstwa odejmuje 50% od góry co powoduje dokładne wyśrodkowanie. Dodatkowo warstwa druga ma style: _left: 0px; _width: 100%; które powodują jej wyrównanie do lewej i rozciągnięcie na całą szerokość warstwy pierwszej. Dzięki temu możemy użyć text-align: center;
W przypadku reszty przeglądarek, warstwa pierwsza ma display: table; (przyjmijmy że staję się tabelką <table>), warstwa druga ma display: table-cell; (staję się elementem tableli, powiedzmy <td>) i vertical-align: middle; (tak jakby valign), który ustawia warstwę trzecią (powiedzmy element znacznika <td>) na środku w pionie

Książka wygrała w plebiscycie organizowanym przez miesięcznik "Science-Fiction, Fantasy i Horror". Powieść "Vertical" Rafała Kosika otrzymała nagrodę Nautilus 2006. Laureata plebiscytu, organizowanego co roku przez redakcję miesięcznika wybierają sami czytelnicy.
\"Vertical\" Rafała Kosika to jedna z nielicznych pozycji science fiction napisana przez autora z naszego polskiego podwórka. Obecnie mało się pisze w Polsce takich książek a wśród nich jeszcze mniej jest wartych zainteresowania. Ale \"Vertical\" to książka wybijająca się zdecydowanie ponad przeciętność i nie chodzi tu tylko o oryginalny pomysł autora. Bo w tej powieści nie podbijamy kosmosu, nie kontaktujemy się z \"obcymi\", to nie kolejna space opera. To o czym jest ta książka? Pewnie ile czytalników tyle mogłoby paść odpowiedzi na to pytanie. Dla mnie jest to opowieść o poszukiwaniu, o zadawaniu pytań, trudnych pytań, o marzeniach i dążeniu do nich za wszelką cenę. Opowieść o łamaniu schematów o poszukiwaniu własnej drogi i sensu życia, a przede wszystkim o byciu sobą. To nie jakaś piękna, słodka opowiastka. Pisana jest twardym, prostym językiem ale chociaż sporo w niej technicznego słownictwa nie przeszkadza to w czytaniu nawet osobom mało obytym w gatunku science fiction.\"Vertical\" wwierca się w głowę i jeszcze przez długi czas po przeczytaniu zmusza do refleksji, do zastanowienia się nad swoim życiem, nad otaczającą nas rzeczywistością. Mam nadzieję, że choć kilka osób po lekturze tej książki, postępując kolejny raz utartą ścieżką zada sobie pytanie \"Dlaczego tak?\".

Complication Pocket Watch, Charles Hubert Vertical Tourbillion 24 Hour Pocket Watch from Gem of the Day
Today many customers and watch collectors have a great interest in the great mechanical watches of the 18th and 19th centuries. We have a renewed appreciation of the "art of watchmaking" done long before the age of batteries, electricity, quartz movements and computerized wizardry. Early watchmakers built their watches by hand and designed watches with intricate and complicated designs. Watches began to evolve from mere time keeping devices into works of art. Those watches of the most unusual designs with the most complicated functions were called "grand complications." One of the most intriguing designs is the Vertical Tourbillion, which forced the designer to make the timepiece in a full vertical design with the balance wheel at the bottom, away from the hands and other gears of the watch. Such watches were difficult to design and manufacture, but exceptionally beautiful. The Charles Hubert Vertical Tourbillion Complication Pocket Watch has a visible balance wheel at the six o'clock position. It features three subdials. The first is a continuous sweep second hand immediately above the balance wheel. The second is a twenty four hour dial immediately above the hands. Finally there is a sun-moon dial at the 12 o'clock position. Charles Hubert offers uncompromising quality. Their watchmakers devoted equal attention to detail in the design of the watch and case. The high polished case has a cover that closes for maximum protection of your watch, yet it has a crystal center so that you can both tell the time and appreciate the beauty of this magnificent watch. The dial and subdials are finished in the finest details from the beautifully finished luminous hands to the engine turned engraved design on the metal center tourbillion.

Also, sensing and actuating apparatus is provided for detecting when a gem area has been ground to the desired size and for rotating the gem and pattern and for moving them toward vertical position to grind new areas of the gem. A method of grinding cabochons and the like, comprising maintaining a slurry of abrasive material inside a rotating drum, holding a gem to be ground in contact with the slurry at a desired angle to the vertical to grind a desired area of the gem, rotating the gem and moving it toward the vertical when said gem area has been ground to the desired size, and repeating said steps until the gem has been ground to the desired pattern.
1. A cabochon gem grinding machine comprising a drum having a cylindrical wall and a lip extending inwardly from the sides of the wall for retaining a slurry of abrasive material, means mounting the drum so that its axis is horizontal and for rotating the drum to distribute and maintain the slurry against the inner wall of the drum, dop means for holding a gem to be ground in contact with the slurry at a desired angle to the vertical to grind a desired area of the gem, and pattern means connected to the dop means for indicating the desired shape of the gem. 2. The gem grinder of claim 1 including means for rotating the gem and the pattern means and for moving them toward a vertical position to grind new areas of the gem. 3. The gem grinder of claim 1, wherein said means for rotating the drum includes a drive roller and an idler roller which support the drum and rotate it, whereby said drum is easily removed for cleaning and easily replaced by other similar drums. 4. The gem grinder of claim 1, including sensing means for detecting when the gem area being ground has been ground to the desired pattern. 5. The gem grinder of claim 4 including actuating means responsive to the sensing means for rotating the axes of the pattern means and gem and for moving said axis toward the vertical to present another gem area to be ground.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The automatic grinding of gem stones to desired shapes and sizes, such as cabochons, is conventionally performed by a positioning device that places a stone in contact with either a grinding wheel or a flat lap charged with diamond powder. The stone is caused to follow a pattern or template which contacts a wear plate when the stone is ground down to the desired size to stop further grinding. Such prior art template-controlled grinding machines for grinding cabochons of semiprecious gems are illustrated by U. S. Pat. No. 3,568,369 which issued on Mar. 9, 1971. Such machines have certain draw-backs. As a stone is abraded by a grinding wheel, the wheel also wears, requiring frequent dressing of the wheel. This dressing causes the surface of the grinding wheel to be positioned at a greater distance from the stone, so the wear plate must be repositioned accordingly to maintain the calibration accuracy of the pattern. Further, diamond laps cut well when new, but become less and less efficient as diamond particles break away from the surface or are driven into the lap material by the impact of cutting or grinding. Moreover, lap replacement cost is high. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an automatic cabochon gem grinding machine which overcomes the problems of the prior art machines by eliminating the grinding wheel and the flat lap. This object is accomplished by providing a gem grinder which utilizes a slurry of abrasive grains to grind stones automatically. The abrasive grains are dispersed and maintained in a lipped drum and maintained against the inner wall of the drum by centrifugal force. The stone is held against the slurry by a dop which is rotated about its axis in unison with a pattern and is also progressively moved along the wall of the drum from an initial angle of about 75° from the vertical to the vertical (0°) as the stone is ground in accordance with the pattern. As the grinding proceeds, material is removed from the abraded area of the stone, allowing the pattern to contact a wear or contact plate which causes a motor and gearing to turn a worm shaft to rotate both stone and pattern about their axes and about the worm shaft at right angles thereto to present an uncut area of the stone to the lap. For example, the initial grinding of a stone may start with the dop and pattern axes at 75° from the vertical. As grinding proceeds the dop and pattern axes rotate and also move toward the vertical. When the dop and pattern axis reach the vertical, the gem grinding is complete.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Turning now to the specific embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings, there is illustrated a gem grinder 11 which includes a support frame 13, brackets 15 mounted on frame 13 and supporting a pivot pin 17, an assembly plate 19 mounted on pivot pin 17, a mounting plate 21 connected to plate 19 by spacers 23, and a mounting plate 25 connected to plate 21 by spacers 27. An electric motor 29 has a shaft 31 and a gear 33 that meshes with gear 35 on shaft 37. A spur gear 39 is mounted on the other end of shaft 37 and meshes with a gear 41 mounted on worm gear shaft 43. A worm 45 (FIGS. 2, 5 and 7) on shaft 43 meshes with gear 47 of shaft 49 which is provided with a chuck or quill 51 that receives shaft 53 of a template 55 having a pattern 57 at the end of the shaft. A worm 59 (FIGS. 2, 6 and 7) is also mounted on shaft 43 and meshes with a gear 61 on shaft 63 which is at right angles to shaft 43. Shaft 63 has a quill or chuck 65 at one end which receives a dop or dop stick 67. A gem or stone 69 is glued to the end of the dop stick in position to be ground to a smooth finish in a desired configuration which conforms to the configuration of the pattern 57. Motor 29 also drives another gear train which includes shaft 31, gear 33, gear 35 and shaft 37. A worm 71 is mounted on shaft 37 and meshes with a gear 73 on shaft 75 on which is mounted a worm gear 77 that meshes with a gear 79 on a shaft 81. A crank arm 83 on shaft 81 drives a connecting rod 85 that tilts rocker arm 87 which is mounted on a hollow shaft 89 that is rigidly connected to a housing 91 having mounting plates 92 which support worm gear shaft 43. Housing 91 moves from its initial position, for example, 75° from the vertical, to the vertical, zero degree position, by means of the rotation of hollow shaft 89. Another motor 93 with a belt 94 drives a roller 95 mounted on support bracket 97 on frame 13. A freely mounted roller 99 is also mounted on bracket 97, and the two rollers are adapted to support and rotate a drum 101 having a cylindrical wall 103, a sidewall 105 that completely encloses one side of the cylindrical wall 103, and an inner lip 107 that projects inwardly from the other side of wall 103. A wear or a contact plate 109, which conforms to the shape and contours of the inside of drum circumferential wall 103, is mounted on frame 13 just below template 55. In operation, the drum 101 is rotated by rollers 95 and 99 so as to maintain a slurry of grinding grits or grains against the inside surface of cylindrical wall 103 by centrifugal force. The gem 69 to be ground to cabochon shape is positioned inside the drum 101 at an angle of about 75° to the vertical and grinding begins on an area of stone 69 which is located at about 75° from the bottom of the stone. After this area is ground to the desired shape, it touches the inner surface of the drum wall 103, and simultaneously the corresponding area on pattern 57 makes contact with wear or contact plate 109. Pattern 57 and contact plate 109 are both made of electrically conductive material and are connected in an electrical circuit with a source of power and motor 29. The contact between pattern 57 and contact plate 109 acts as an electrical switch to close the electrical circuit and energize motor 29. In other words, the pattern 57 and contact plate 109 sense that the stone area has been ground to the desired size and actuate motor 29 to rotate worms 45 and 59 to rotate pattern 57 and stone 69. The stone is thereby rotated to another high area which the grit slurry starts grinding to size, and the high area moves the pattern 57 away from contact plate 109, breaking electrical contact, and stopping motor 29. Also, the actuation of motor 29, in addition to rotating the pattern and gem, also actuates the gear train that moves housing 91 and shaft 49 to dop stick 67 incrementally toward vertical position. As the successive areas of stone 69 are ground to size, the rotation of the stone and the incremental movement toward the vertical cause each successive stone area to be ground to size in a substantially spiral path on the stone, with ever decreasing spiral circumference. It is to be noted that the stone 69 and pattern 57 are synchronized by means of identical worm and gear drives so as to move in identical fashion. The shape of the pattern constitutes and provides a program which the stone follows in the course of the grinding. The drum 101 is easily removable for the purpose of changing the compound or for cleaning. Two drums are provided. the first drum is used for grinding the stone and washing, and the second drum may be used for polishing, and may advantageously be made from a transparent synthetic plastic. Cabochons made from grinding with the inventive machine may have an oval, rounded top with a flat bottom for use in finger rings. One of the important features of the invention is the internal lap of the stone within the drum 101 which permits grinding at less expense than grinding with the conventional diamond lap. The inventive machine is low in initial cost, and the grinding cost is low. The inventive machine is especially suitable for hobbyists because it is simple and automatic in operation, and because it is small and compact and adapted to be mounted in a room of a house or apartment. A cabochon is defined as a gem cut in convex form, highly polished, but not faceted. It comes from the French word meaning cabbage or rounded head.

In the spring of 2006, we measured the vertical distribution of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), CO, ozone, and aerosol scattering coefficient in the Pacific Northwest concurrent with NASA's INTEX-B campaign. Seven profiles from the surface to 6 km were conducted from 12 April to 8 May along with one flight in the Seattle-Tacoma boundary layer. Ozone had a bimodal distribution with the lower mode occurring primarily in the mixed layer and the higher mode occurring in the free troposphere. In the free troposphere, the mixing ratios (1 ) of GEM, CO, ozone, and aerosol scattering coefficient were 1.52 (0.165) ng/m
A vertical replication code contains the values 00h 00h FFh, followed by a one-byte count. The count is the number of times to repeat the line that is about to be decoded. A count of one indicates two identical, consecutive lines. A vertical replication code may only appear at the beginning of a scan line. If a replication code is not present at the beginning of a scan line, the line is not repeated. Literal runs are contiguous lines of pixels that are not encoded. They are written to the encoded data stream as they appear in the bitmap. Literal runs usually appear in encoded image data because data compression had little effect on the pixel data, and it was not efficient to encode the pixels as a run. A literal run code begins with the byte value 80h and is followed by a byte that holds the count value. Following the count are a number of bytes equal to the count value that should be copied literally from the encoded data to the decoded data. A pattern code begins with the byte 00h and is followed by a byte containing the pattern length. That length is followed by the pattern itself, replicated the number of times specified by the Pattern Length field in the header. Pattern codes are similar to literal run codes, in that the data they contain is not actually compressed in the encoded image data. Encoded run codes contain only runs of either black or white pixels and are by far the most numerous of all the codes in IMG RLE image data. Black-and-white runs are encoded as a 1-byte packets. Encoded run packets are never 00h or 80h in value. These values are reserved to mark the start of vertical replication codes, pattern codes, and literal run codes. If a byte is read and is not equal to 00h or 80h, the most significant bit indicates the color of the run. If the most significant bit is 1, all the pixels in the run are set to 1 (black). If the most significant bit is 0, the pixels in the run are set to 0 (white). The seven least significant bits in the encoded run are the number of bits in the run. The run may contain 1 to 127 bits. If an image contains multiple planes, each plane is encoded as the next consecutive scan line of data. One scan line of a four-plane image is encoded as four scan lines of data. The order of the planes is red, green, blue, and intensity value. The following segment of an encoded scan line. 00 00 FF 05 07 8A 02 80 04 2A 14 27 C9 00 03 AB CD EF represents a vertical replication code of five scan lines, a run of seven white bytes (56 pixels), a run of 10 black bytes, (80 pixels), a run of two white bytes (16 pixels), a literal run of four bytes, and pattern code three bytes in length.

) in the near-surface air, with these concentrations strongly correlated with vertical mixing rates and showing rapid surface deposition. This suggests that the troposphere over Antarctica is enhanced in oxidized mercury, with mercury cycling between elemental and oxidized states, and between the atmosphere and snow pack. Based on these limited measurements at South Pole, we estimate that the Antarctic polar plateau could sequester as much as 60 metric tons of Hg annually. These data also suggest that there could be a seasonal cycling of atmospheric mercury oxidation, deposition, and re-emission via photoreduction of 490 metric tons annually. This cycling is restricted to the annual sunlit period and peaks 3–.4 weeks after solar maximum. To our knowledge, these provisional values represent the first estimates of the mercury balance and cycling for the extensive Antarctic polar plateau.

The software market is maturing, and this means that companies stronger than yours occupy most of the mainstream market positions. You may have to look for opportunities in places you hadn't considered. You might want to look for opportunities in "vertical" markets. In marketing we use the terms "horizontal" and "vertical" to describe two different kinds of products and market segments.
A vertical product is one that is specifically designed for a single market segment or niche. Dental office management software is a vertical product. Nobody outside dentistry uses it.
In the '80s and '90s, small ISVs could realistically enter a horizontal product market. But today, as the software industry has matured, it is far more difficult to compete with the big companies for the attention of mainstream customers. Horizontal product markets are filled with the wrong kind of competition for you. The competitors you want are in the vertical markets. These markets are safe from the big companies like Microsoft. Remember, even though you are reading this on the MSDN website, I am not a Microsoft employee. Even Microsoft employees are not allowed to speak for the company, so my opinion of their future means nothing at all. Having said all that, I believe Microsoft will never begin entering vertical markets. These market segments are simply too small to be interesting for a company that size. Now you may be asking. but if the market is too small for Microsoft, doesn't that mean it's too small for me? Almost certainly not. Granted, some markets are simply too small to run any sort of company (in other words, they're actually not markets at all). But most of the vertical market niches are much bigger than you think. Obviously, entering a vertical market will require you to know something about that particular industry. For instance, these guys claim to be the "industry leaders in bowling software," so I suspect they know a thing or two about bowling. It's only fair to point out that entering a vertical market is rather difficult for those of us who don't know anything except software. This is why I ended up running a developer tools company. However, my own experience is a really lousy example to follow.
This short paper discusses some of the things to think about when considering obtaining a microscope to use for gemology. There is some emphasis on inexpensive options. In putting together my own modest gemmology lab I did a lot of comparison shopping and adapting of various equipment to keep my costs down. The polariscope for example was a piece of PVC sewage pipe (new of course) which had an access port cut in the side and two rings made by cutting a chunk from a slice of the same tube which then support the filters. There were $7.00 polarizing camera filters used in it. The 49 mm filters used happened to fit the GIA immersion cell perfectly and furnished me with a very useful polariscope at low cost. Polarizing filters have some use on microscopes as well. See this URL for more specific information on making your own polariscope. Given a good microscope and the correct filters and refractive index fluids one can identify most gemstones in commercial use by determining their internal characteristics, refractive indices, double refraction estimation, optic characters, etc (see Liddicoat, Webster, Anderson et al). Although probably the most expensive piece of equipment to purchase a good microscope is well worth investing in. Best is of course to buy the properly designed top of the line microscope-this is however not always an option for a poverty stricken student. Therefore we will now discuss other options. A new binocular microscope such as is used for biology or geology can be adapted for gemological usage fairly easily. Russian microscopes are on the market and they can be very inexpensive for good quality (Leica type lens technology) though there is not always a good range of magnifications available-you should check this before committing to this route. Machinists supply companies sometimes offer good quality binocular microscopes fairly inexpensively. For general usage in gemmology you will want 10X, 30X or 40X and perhaps 80X magnification options either through a rotating objective lens underneath or by using exchangeable eyepieces. Lighting from below the gem and above as well is good, a zooming objective is very pleasant, a darkfield well is heaven (then you don't have to figure out how to make one and install it). When you make a decision check for eyepiece and small replacement bulb availability's (this last comment is the voice of experience). While you can use a monocular microscope (I've done that, I've been there when I started-functional if somewhat limited) a binocular microscope gives you the depth perception necessary for examining inclusions happily and with better results. One can begin the search by contacting used and surplus dealers such as advertise in the back pages of the Lapidary Journal magazine or some science publications. If buying a used instrument it should be carefully examined for play in the focusing adjustment (it should not sink by itself under the weight of the body tube or head), the condition of the lenses, cleanliness, accessories, function for gemological use and the lighting system. Well suited to the aspiring gemologist is a stereoscopic (gives that feeling of depth) biological dissecting microscope which gives a wide field of view and lots of room between lens and stage to work in. These are often 20X and 40X which is sufficient to start with but one may want higher magnifications at a later date so remember to ask if higher magnification eyepieces are available for the model you are looking at. Again, also check for the availability of replacement bulbs for the lighting system. As described above it should have both substage (from below the object) and incident (from the side and above the object) lighting. These sell at about $1,000.00 for biological use but one can obtain them for far less. I obtained my biological microscope new in the original wrappings but surplus for $ us. Many of the current series of relatively inexpensive gemological and diamond microscopes available appear to be biological microscopes which have been adapted for gemological use. If using an unadapted stereoscopic microscope one can visit the local camera repair center where they will usually give you free the iris diaphragm from a broken camera lens. The iris diaphragm is usually still functioning and is are very useful for controlling the amount of light reaching the gemstone from below (transmitted light conditions) both for the microscope lighting system and also can be used as a lighting control method on other light sources when using a spectroscope. I found one that neatly fits in the light well of my microscope and which allowed me to control the light coming up from the substage bulb very well indeed. The iris diagram I have also happens to fit the GIA immersion cell perfectly which is beneficial because I often examine gems immersed in distilled water. By attaching a swiveling disc inside the iris diagram frame a 'dark-field' system was made. A dark field system is very important in order to light inclusions from the sides against a dark background so as to see and understand them better. If one has several such diaphragms one can rig one as a permanent dark field unit and interchange them as necessary. A swiveling dark-field unit does however provide more versatility in lighting conditions. Here is a diagram of a dark field system for a vertical microscope. The light rays have to bounce before they get to the gemstone. It provides light entering the gem from the sides or obliquely against a black background which thus lets one see the inclusions more clearly than using transmitted light conditions (where the light path is directly through the stone from below). If you can set up a situation of lighting from the side (or all around) against a black background you can obtain dark field-like conditions. If you use a fiber optic light to light the gem from the side (preferably immersed in a liquid) against a dark background (like black paper under a transparent class cell or small jar) then you can emulate dark field conditions. I use alligator clips with all the teeth filed off as interchangeable stone holders on my microscope. One can have several loaded and ready to go. This arrangement is far more pleasant than commercial stone holders and one never drops a stone into the light well on the microscope as the stone is put in the holder before the holder is in place on the microscope. It is also very inexpensive compared with commercial options. Here is a photograph of the system in place. Note the polarizing filter attached to the objective above the alligator clip stone holder. For the beginner the Hanneman stereoscope has been highly recommended. Gemologist Ken Hamilton of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia uses his for most microscope examination purposes although he has a very good Bausch and Lomb model which he resorts to on rare occasions. At $150.00 or so it is the least expensive practical microscope going. It may require some innovation in lighting techniques (Hanneman supplies some accessories) and it is not the type of microscope to impress customers in a store, as some other ones seem designed to do. It has 15X, 30X and 45X magnifications and rack and pinion focusing. Similar very small binocular microscopes are available from suppliers for high schools and hobbyists (for example Efston Science in Toronto). At a higher range of quality in dedicated gemological microscopes by preference and price come GIA's models and offerings from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain as well. A number of American microscopes are available. Check Lapidary Journal and Gems and Gemology for other sources. Gemmological microscopes will have a dark field well, stone holders, filter places above and below the gem perhaps a zoom instead of rotating lower lenses. The GemOro microscope systems get good reviews and are reasonably priced at this time. Note that European style gemmological microscopes tend to be horizontal in orientation rather than the North American vertical ones. I think this is primarily a reflection of the importance of economics in the gem instrument supplier world. Because the horizontal ones don't look as impressive as a vertical one to the customer in a jewelry store (and are a little more fiddly to use. requiring more skill) they are not promoted in North America-not enough sales to jewelry store owners. A horizontal microscope gets any nasty fumes from refractive index fluids away from one's face but then perhaps on the other hand a vertical one encourages use of distilled water only which is safer than using such liquids. I still like a horizontal one though sometimes. and feel that for colored stones they have some advantages. That said there is a place for the vertical orientation in speed of use. It is possible to convert a vertical stereo microscope to horizontal use if you are willing to try constructing some parts for the conversion.

A quartz vein which appears to be a southern extension of the old Grey Jay - Crow vein system, was intersected at a vertical depth of 16 meters over a true width of about 0.9 meters (the true dip of the vein is not known with high accuracy and the true width may vary slightly). The vein assayed 0.14g gold. Diamond drill hole Crow #2 (drilled at Azimuth 280 deg., dip -65 deg) collared from same location as Crow #1. The quartz vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 31m over a true width of about 0.92 m. It assayed 2.56g gold, with repeat assays of 2.48g and 5.89g. Diamond drill hole #3 (drilled at Azimuth 260 deg., dip -65 deg) collared from same location as Crow #1. A quartz vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 18.0m over a core length of 1.2m. It assayed 3.83g gold - repeat assays gave 3.59g and 2.72g. This is not the Crow vein and the dip and therefore its true width is unknown. The Crow vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 36m, where the vein had an indicated width of about 0.15m. A sample of about 1.4m, which included the vein, was assayed and returned a value of 0.65g gold. Diamond Drill Hole #4 (drilled at Azimuth 270 deg., dip -45 deg, collared 20 meters north of drill holes 1 through 3). The quartz vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 19.5m over a true width of 1.2m. It assayed 31.7g gold repeat assay gave 26.7g. Diamond Drill Hole #5 (drilled at Azimuth 270 deg., dip -65 deg) collared from same location as Crow #4. The quartz vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 23m over a true width of 1.65m. The vein assayed 16.3g gold. Diamond Drill Hole #6 (drilled at Azimuth 280 deg., dip -65 deg) collared from same location as Crow #4. The quartz vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 35m over a true width of 0.4m. Samples of the vein and adjoining rock gave values of less than 0.1g gold. At a vertical depth of 38m a 5m to 6m length of core had numerous narrow sheeted quartz stringers. A sample over 3.0m of core assayed 2.86g gold - and a repeat assay of 1.81g gold. Additional samples of the core around this sample will be split. Diamond Drill Hole #7 (drilled at Azimuth 270 deg., dip -45 deg) collared 20m north of drill holes 4 through 6). The vein was intersected at a vertical depth of 19.5m over a true width of 0.8m. The assay of the vein and 0.5m of adjoining rock gave 1.18g gold. Diamond Drill Hole #8 (drilled at Azimuth 250 deg., dip -45 deg) collared from same location as Crow #7. Two quartz veins were intersected at vertical depths of 21m and 22.5m. The first vein had a true width of 1.1m and together with 0.15m of rock assayed 0.52g gold. The second vein had a true width of 0.8m and assayed 1.45g gold. The rock between the veins (1.4m) gave less than 0.1g. Samples from several diamond drill holes targeting the Eagle and Raven

Jadon Lavik's sophomore CD, "Life on the Inside," released just this March, is professionalism personified. Produced by a stellar all-stars team, it positively gleams with excellence, like a luminous white bowl of melted butter. But melted butter with great chops. It's the vocals you notice first, smooth as Jack Johnson with a bit of James Taylor's soulfulness. Harmonically, he zigs when you thought there was a zag coming. His thirteen original acoustic pop-rock songs contain not a clunker among them, and include his popular radio single "What If." There's a lot of charm on this album, a touch of whimsy, (and I'm a big fan of the whimsy), but there's also a rock solid faith message that is as uplifting as it is honest. "Life on the Inside is my take on Christian struggles and the Christian walk," says Lavik. "These songs are about aligning my day-to-day life with the way it should be." I think the way it should be is Jadon Lavik everyday. It's a pop gem with a vertical slant, or a vertical gem with a pop slant. Either way, don't miss it!
The Global Environmental Multiscale Model (GEM) is an integrated forecasting and data assimilation system developed in the Recherche en Prévision Numérique (RPN), Meteorological Research Branch (MRB), and the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC). The GEM model is currently operational for the global data assimilation cycle and medium-range forecasting, the regional data assimilation spin-up cycle and short-range forecasting. Furthermore mesoscale forecasts are produced overnight and are available to the operational forecasters. A growing number of meteorological applications are now either based on or use the GEM model. The GEM model has been developed to meet the operational weather forecasting needs of Canada for the coming years. These presently include short-range regional forecasting, medium-range global forecasting, and data assimilation. In the future they will include nowcasting at the meso-scales, and dynamic extended-range forecasting on monthly to seasonal timescales. The essence of the approach is to develop a single highly efficient model that can be reconfigured at run time to either run globally at uniform-resolution (with possibly degraded resolution in the "other" hemisphere), or to run with variable resolution over a global domain such that high resolution is focused over an area of interest. The operational GEM model dynamics is formulated in terms of the hydrostatic primitive equations with a terrain following pressure vertical coordinate (h). The time discretization is an implicit two-time-level semi-Lagrangian scheme. The spatial discretization is a Galerkin grid-point formulation on an Arakawa C-grid in the horizontal (lat-lon) and an unstaggered vertical discretization. The horizontal mesh can be of uniform or variable resolution, and furthermore can be arbitrarily rotated, the vertical mesh is also variable. The explicit horizontal diffusion is -2 on all prognostic variables. The operational GEM model is interfaced with a full complement of physical parametrizations, these currently include.
Turbulence in the planetary boundary layer through vertical diffusion, diffusion coefficients based on stability and turbulent kinetic energy,
Desktop publishing software was very popular from the mid-1980's to the mid-1990's. A combination of word processing and graphics tools, DTP software is used primarily for creating newsletters, fliers, brochures, large publications, etc. Desktop publishing programs distinguished themselves from most other software of the time with horizontal and vertical ruler bars. As this feature became popular, other software companies began adding it to their programs. GEM Desktop's graphical user interface provided an ideal "platform" for making easy to use, mouse-driven, graphical desktop publishing programs.

See our briolette photos to get a better idea. We recommend three methods to set briolettes. Two use adhesive and one does not. Each of the three setting methods has its advantages and disadvantages. They are all tried and proven, each works well for different applications. See our strength tests for more information about each methods advantages and disadvantages. Proper surface preparation and adhesive type are very important to achieve optimum results when setting briolettes in two of the methods. Our suggestions are based on information provided by some of the largest adhesive manufacturers in the world. By following these suggestions you can expect strong, durable, problem free adhesive settings. In order to facilitate setting briolettes, we have designed a set of 6 caps. These caps come in a range of very accurate angles and are meant to be a starting point for your own design. Our cap system will enable you to fit briolettes accurately and easily, reducing labor time and increasing strength of the briolette to cap junction. Caps have the advantage of maximum adhered surface area with a corresponding increase in setting strength. Capping briolettes also offers a unique look in the finished piece. We supply our caps in ready to cast wax for free (no charge) with the purchase of any of our briolettes. Caps work best for larger briolettes. Here at Rough and Ready we can accurately and safely drill briolettes and other hard, brittle materials. the quality of our work is unsurpassed. Our expertise with the ultrasonic drill is available to the Gem as well as other industries. Our ultrasonically drilled holes have minimal chipping, come accurately sized and measured, are well centered, have parallel sides, and come in various diameters to accommodate a full range of briolette sizes. Drilling enables even the smallest of briolettes to be set with a maximum of exposure so that none of the precious gem material is hidden by a cap. Ultrasonically drilled holes are necessary for two methods of setting briolettes. 1) Vertical drilling a small diameter hole 2-3 mm deep into the briolette tip combined with the use of a pin-cap/jump ring adhered into the briolette gives excellent results. This method is very strong and allows even the smallest briolettes to be set. 2) Cross drilling a hole through the tip allows the briolette to swing freely on a wire or pin, avoiding adhesive altogether. We recommend vertical drilling. See our setting techniques section for details and advantages of each method. Over the years we have found that many of our clients have wanted matched pairs of briolettes in hard to find small sizes. Our briolettes come as small 4mm in length to as large as 35mm in length. If you need large or small, singles or pairs, sets or size progressions, we can supply you with your briolette requirements. See our briolette descriptions for more details. Hello, let me introduce myself. Im Steve Green, president and owner of ROUGH AND READY GEMS, INC. I've been in the gem and mineral business since 1979. After years in the mineral specimen, rough gem, and "normal cut" gemstone business, I decided to specialize in just briolettes. Currently we exhibit at the world renown Tucson Gem and Mineral Show GJX booth #700, in February of every year. You may contact us via telephone or email. We are a wholesale business to the trade, and thus require a sales tax number or other business identification. Shipping is by Insured or Registered Mail via the US Postal Service or Federal Express. Payment can be made by check, C. O.D., MasterCard/Visa, or with preapproved terms. Memos and credit are possible with references. We guarantee that if for any reason you are not satisfied with the merchandise it can be returned in it's original form within 10 days for a full refund, less shipping costs. We want you to be 100% satisfied with our unique product. Thank you very much for your interest, and be sure to explore our informational site. Sincerely, Steve Green
