This application claims priority from commonly-assigned U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/687,894, filed Jun. 6, 2005, entitled REMOTE CONTROL LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to antennas and in particular, to radio frequency antennas for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to a compact antenna, which is provided for use in connection with a radio frequency controlled lighting control system.
Systems for controlling an electrical device by remote control are known. For example, prior art systems and methods control the status of electrical devices such as electric lamps, from a remote location via communication links, including radio frequency links, power line carrier links or infrared links. Status information regarding the electrical devices (e.g., on, off and intensity level) is typically transmitted between specially adapted lighting control devices and at least one master control unit. At least one repeater device may also be provided to help ensure reliable communications between the master control unit and the control devices for the respective electrical devices. The repeater may be required when a control device is unable to receive control signals transmitted directly from the master control unit, and, typically, employs a repeater sequence for helping to ensure that each receiver receives those signals intended for it.
Referring now to the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements, there is shown in FIG. 1A a prior art arrangement of a system 100 for remote control of electrical devices. The example prior art system 100 illustrated in FIG. 1A includes configurable devices that are manufactured by the assignee of the present patent application and commercially known as the RadioRA® lighting control system. The RadioRA® lighting control system is described in greater detail in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,905,442, issued May 18, 1999, entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND DETERMINING THE STATUS OF ELECTRICAL DEVICES FROM REMOTE LOCATIONS, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the hardware devices include a master control unit 102, two control devices 104, a repeater 106, a car visor control 108 that may be mounted on an automobile's sun visor, and two electrical devices 110, e.g., lamps. The devices 102, 104, 106 and 108 transmit radio frequency signals 112, which can include control information and instructions regarding the respective electrical devices 110.
In the prior art system 100 illustrated in FIG. 1A, the control devices 104 are coupled to electrical devices 110 by wire connections, such as, for example, building wiring for providing power to electrical devices. Each control device 104 includes a communications and control circuit 114 that comprises a radio frequency transmitter/receiver 116 and an antenna 118 for transmitting/receiving the radio frequency signals 112. The antenna 118 is described in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,965, issued Apr. 7, 1998, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,982,103, issued Nov. 9, 1999, both entitled COMPACT RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ANTENNA AND CONTROL DEVICE EMPLOYING SAME. The entire disclosures of both patents are hereby incorporated by reference.
The communications and control circuit 114 further includes a controller 120 for adjusting the status of the attached electrical device 110. The transmitter/receiver 116 receives the radio frequency signals via the antenna 118 and transmits a status radio frequency signal with information regarding the status of the controller 120 (which indirectly reflects the status of the connected electrical device 110). The controller 120 adjusts the status of the electrical device in response to the control information. Each control device 104 further includes button(s) 122 and dimmer control(s) 124, which are further operable to allow manual adjustment of the connected electrical device 110.
The master control unit 102 includes at least one actuator 126, at least one status indicator 128, a transmitter/receiver 116, and an antenna 118. The actuators 126 enable a user to control the electrical devices 110 remotely. The status indicators 128 indicate the status of the electrical devices 110. The transmitter/receiver 116 and the antenna 118 are operable for transmitting a radio frequency signal 112 having the control information therein to control the status of the electrical devices 110, as well as for receiving status information from the control devices 104.
The master control unit 102 can take several forms. For example, the master control unit 102 can be formed as a tabletop master, which plugs into an electrical outlet and includes a conventional antenna for transmitting and receiving signals. In another form, the master control unit 102 mounts on a wall, and is sized such that the master control unit 102 fits within the confines of a standard electrical wall box. In either form, the master control unit 102 includes a plurality of controls, each associated with a particular control device or a plurality of control devices. In the prior art, the user must program the association of the electrical control devices to a particular actuator 126 on the master control unit. Further, prior art master control units 102 must be programmed in order to provide functions allowing all control devices 104 to turn on or off substantially simultaneously.
The repeater 106 may receive radio frequency signals 112 (including status information and instructions) from the master control unit 102 and, thereafter, transmit radio frequency signals 112 to the control devices 104. Further, the repeater 106 may receive radio frequency signals 112 from the control devices 104 and, thereafter, transmit them to the master control unit 102.
The car visor control 108 provides a convenient and remotely usable interface to transmit radio frequency signals 112 to the master control unit 102, and may be disposed in a vehicle, for example, on a vehicle's interior sun visor. The buttons 130 are provided for remotely activating the master control unit 102. For example, the car visor control 108 can be used to cause a lighting scene to turn on/off, or may be operated to turn the electrical devices 110 on/off, via the master control unit 102.
Thus, the master control unit 102 is operable to generate radio frequency signals, which are transmitted to and received by the control devices 104, such as light dimmers, and/or the repeater 106. The control devices 104 use the information received in the radio frequency signals 112 to control the connected electrical devices 110 to a desired intensity. The control devices 104 preferably transmit radio frequency signals 112 via antennas 118 to the master control unit 102 (or to the master control unit 102 via the repeater 106) in order to indicate the status of the control devices 104 (and thus, the connected electrical devices 110). Using the respective devices, a combination of lighting controls in different or the same rooms of a structure, for example, can be instructed to turn on/off, thereby creating a lighting “scene” according to a user's desire.
FIG. 1B shows a front view of a prior art lighting control device 104 of the lighting control system 100 of FIG. 1A. Lighting control devices 104 preferably fit into standard electrical wall boxes. The antenna 118, which comprises a part of each control device 104, is sized so as to fit within the standard electrical wall box and is preferably disposed directly behind an actuator button 150 that is provided in the opening of a designer-style faceplate 160 as shown in FIG. 1B. An example of such an antenna is described in greater detail in co-pending commonly-assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/873,033, filed Jun. 21, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,362,285, entitled COMPACT RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING ANTENNA AND CONTROL DEVICE EMPLOYING SAME, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
However, it is desirable to provide an RF load control device that has an actuator button that is provided in the opening of a traditional-style faceplate. It is also desirable to provide an RF load control device that will work with a metal faceplate. Therefore, there is a need for an antenna that is disposed behind the actuator button that is provided in the opening of a traditional-style faceplate.
According to the present invention, an antenna for an electrical load control device for controlling the power delivered to an electrical load is provided wherein the load control device comprises a controllably conductive device for controlling the power delivered to the electrical load, a controller coupled to a control input of the controllably conductive device for control of the controllably conductive device, a transmitter and/or receiver in communication with the controller, a substantially-planar mounting yoke adapted to receive a traditional-style faceplate mounted thereto, an actuator button for providing an input to the controller, and a backcover connected to the yoke to enclose the controllably conductive device, the controller, and the transmitter and/or receiver, the actuator button mounted relative to the yoke, such that the actuator button is adapted to extend through an opening of the traditional-style faceplate when the faceplate is attached to the yoke, the antenna coupled to the transmitter and/or receiver and operable to transmit or receive radio frequency signals at a specified frequency. The antenna comprises an antenna printed circuit board having first and second sides adapted to be disposed in a plane perpendicular to the mounting yoke; a first loop of conductive material having an inductance and a capacitance, the capacitance and the inductance forming a circuit resonant at the specified frequency, the first loop formed on the first side of the printed circuit board; and a second loop of conductive material having two ends adapted to be electrically coupled to the transmitter and/or receiver, the second loop formed on one of the sides of the printed circuit board and magnetically coupled to the first loop; wherein the antenna is positioned inside and behind the actuator button and extends through the opening of the faceplate beyond a front surface of the faceplate when the faceplate is attached to the yoke.

Referring to FIG. 2, an example hardware arrangement of components and devices in a building installation in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is displayed, and referred to herein generally as remote control system 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the system comprises, for example, one master control unit 202, five control devices 204A-204E, one repeater 206, and two car visor controls 208A, 208B, which represent a preferred combination of devices packaged and distributed for the retail market. In accordance with the teachings herein, each of the control devices 204A-204E is installed to replace a traditional mechanical switch. The control devices 204A-204E are coupled to electrical devices 210A-210E, respectively, for control of power delivered to the electrical devices. In the system 200 shown in FIG. 2, the electrical devices 210A-210E are electric lamps.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control devices 204A-204E and the master control unit 202 are preferably pre-programmed to support the functionality described herein without requiring configuration and programming by the user. Preferably, the master control unit 202 includes a plurality of device control buttons 302A-302E. Each of the device control buttons 302A-302E is operable to control one, and only one, of the control devices 204A-204E. For example, a first device button 302A on master control unit 202 is operable to cause unit 202 to transmit commands to which only the first control device 204A responds. The second device button 302B commands the second control device 204B; the third device button 302C commands the third control device 204C; and so forth.
FIG. 3 illustrates an example master control unit 202 in accordance with the present invention. The example master control unit 202 shown in FIG. 3 is of the table top variety, plugs into a standard electric outlet, and can be placed anywhere in a home, such as, for example, on a bedside table. As noted above, the master control unit 202 can be provided in other various forms, including as a wall mounted device. The master control unit 202 includes the device buttons 302A-302E, which, when pressed, operate to cause the master control unit 202 to transmit a radio frequency signal and instruct the control device 204A to turn the electrical device 210A on or off. The master control unit 202 comprises an “all-on” button 304 (described in greater detail below), which operates to turn on a combination of the control devices 204A-204E to various levels, thereby providing a lighting preset (or “scene”). The master control unit 202 further comprises an “all-off” button 305, which operates to turn off all of the control devices 204A-204E when pressed. The master control unit 202 further comprises a plurality of status indicators 306A-306E for providing visual feedback about the status of the control devices 204A-204E to a user of system 200.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the load control device 204A according to the present invention. The load control device 204A is equipped with a slider control 402 and an actuator, e.g., a button 404. Actuation of the button 404 causes the load control device 204A to toggle an associated lighting load. Adjusting the slider control 402 changes the intensity of the lighting load. An antenna 410 (shown in FIGS. 5 and 7B) is preferably provided inside or behind the button 404 and is used for transmitting/receiving radio frequency signals to/from the master control unit 202, either directly or indirectly via the repeater 206. The control device 204A is preferably arranged with a faceplate 406. The faceplate preferably has a traditional-style opening, such that the faceplate can be used for the control devices 204A-204E as well as a standard mechanical wall switch. According to NEMA Standards Publication ANSI/NEMA, page 7, WD 6-2002, published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, Rosslyn, Va., the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference, a traditional style opening is a rectangular opening having a minimum width of 0.401±0.005 inch, and a minimum length of 0.925±0.005 inch. A bezel 407 extends through the opening of the faceplate 406. The front surface of the bezel is substantially flush with the front surface of the faceplate 406.
FIG. 5 is a simplified block diagram of the load control device 204A. The load control device 204A is coupled between an AC voltage source 506 and the lighting load 210A. The load control device 204A includes a controllably conductive device 510, such as a bidirectional semiconductor switch, for example, a triac. The controllably conductive device 510 may also be implemented as a relay or another type of semiconductor switch, such as two field effect transistors (FETs) in anti-series connection, a FET in a rectifier bridge, or one or more insulated gate bipolar junction transistors (IGBT). The controllably conductive device 510 has a control input (or gate), which is connected to a gate drive circuit 512. The input to the gate renders the controllably conductive device 510 selectively conductive or non-conductive, which in turn controls the power supplied to the lighting load 210A.
The gate drive circuit 512 provides control inputs to the controllably conductive device 510 in response to command signals from a controller 514. The controller 514 is preferably implemented as a microcontroller, but may be any suitable processing device, such as a programmable logic device (PLD), a microprocessor, or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A power supply 516 is coupled across the controllably conductive device 510 and generates a DC voltage VCC to power the controller 514. The power supply 516 is only able to charge when the controllably conductive device 510 is non-conductive and there is a voltage potential developed across the load control device 204A.
A zero-crossing detector 518 determines the zero-crossing points of the AC voltage source 506 and provides this information to the controller 514. A zero-crossing is defined as the time at which the AC supply voltage transitions from positive to negative polarity, or from negative to positive polarity, at the beginning of each line voltage half-cycle. The controller 514 determines when to turn on (or turn off) the controllably conductive device 510 each half-cycle by timing from each zero-crossing of the AC supply voltage.
A user interface 520 is coupled to the controller 514 and provides a means for receiving inputs from a user and for providing feedback to the user. The user interface 520 preferably includes the button 404 and the slider control 402 as shown in FIG. 4. The controller 514 will toggle the state of the lighting load 210A (i.e., from on to off and vice versa) in response to an actuation of the button 404. The slider control 402 is operable to provide dimming of the lighting load 210A. In response to inputs from the slider control 402, the controller 514 controls the conductive state of the controllably conductive device 510 thereby to affect the dimming level of the lighting load 210A.
The load control device 204A further includes an RF transceiver 522 for transmitting and receiving RF communication signals from the other devices of the system 200 via an antenna 410. Once the controller 514 receives inputs from the user interface 520, the controller 514 then controls the lighting load 210A to the desired level set by the slider control 402, or to off, and then transmits a radio frequency signal to the master control unit 202 to identify the status of the lighting load 210A, which may be the intensity of the lighting load, or whether the lighting load is on or off, as determined by the controller 514.
FIG. 6 shows an equivalent circuit of the antenna 410 according to the present invention. The antenna 410 is comprised of two parts: a main loop 610 and a feed loop 620. The main loop 610 is the primary radiating element of the antenna 410 and includes an inductance L and a capacitance C in series. When energized, the main loop 610 resonates at a frequency determined by the values of L and C and enables the transmitting and receiving of RF signals via a radiation resistance, Rr, which is a representation of the energy delivered to radiation. A loss resistance, Rl, represents the losses in the main loop 610. The main loop 610 is primarily magnetically coupled to the feed loop 620. This coupling is shown schematically in FIG. 6 by an ideal transformer T. The feed loop 620 includes a magnetizing inductance Lm, a leakage inductance Ll, and two ends 630 that connect to the RF transceiver 522. The feed loop 620 allows for the conduction of signals between the RF transceiver 522 and the main loop 610.
In this way, the antenna 410 is adapted to receive RF signals via the main loop 610, with those radio frequency signals being electromagnetically coupled to the feed loop 620 for input to the RF transceiver 522. Conversely, the feed loop 620 receives signals to be transmitted from the RF transceiver 522, electromagnetically couples these signals to the main loop 610 for transmission of RF signals to a master or repeater device.
FIG. 7A shows a front view of the load control device 204A, without the faceplate 406 installed, including a yoke 408. FIG. 7B shows a right side cross-sectional view of the load control device 204A of FIG. 7A. An antenna 410 is provided on a printed circuit board inside and behind the button 404 in the plane of the drawing paper. The antenna 410 extends beyond the front surface of the bezel 407 (which is substantially flush with the front surface of the faceplate 406 as shown in FIG. 4). Accordingly, the antenna 410 protrudes through the opening of the faceplate 406 and extends beyond the faceplate. The positioning of the antenna 410 increases the transmission range of the antenna, particularly when the faceplate comprises a metal faceplate. The antenna 410 connects to a dimmer printed circuit board (PCB) 412 that includes the controllably conductive device 510, the gate drive circuit 512, the controller 514, the power supply 516, the zero-crossing detector 518, the user interface 520, and the RF transceiver 522. The yoke 408 and a back cover 414 enclose the PCB 412.
A first side 810A and a second side 810B of an antenna 810 for the load control device 204A according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, respectively. The antenna 810 includes a main loop trace 820 and a feed loop trace 822 that intersects with the main loop trace. Thus, the main loop of the antenna 810 is not electrically isolated from the feed loop. A capacitor 824 is provided across a break 825 in the main loop trace 820. The antenna 810 is formed on a printed circuit board and includes three terminals 826, 828, 830 for connection to the dimmer PCB 412. The main loop terminates at the two outer terminals 826, 828, while the feed loop is connected to the inner terminal 830. A main loop trace 820′ is provided on the second side 810B of the antenna 810 and is connected to the main loop trace 820 on the first side 810A through a plurality of vias 832.
The main loop terminals 826, 828 are connected to circuit common on the dimmer PCB 412. The feed loop terminal 830 is connected to the RF transceiver 522 on the dimmer PCB 412. When a signal is conducted from the transceiver to the feed loop terminal 830, current flows through the feed loop trace 822, the main loop traces 820, 820′, and the main loop terminals 826, 828 to circuit common on the dimmer PCB 412. The main loop is substantially only magnetically coupled to the feed loop, and thus, a current having a larger magnitude is induced in the main loop trace 820 when current flows through the feed loop trace 822. This current flows through the main loop terminals 826, the main loop traces 820, 820′, the capacitor 824, and the main loop terminal 828. The main radiating loop 820, 820′ is positioned in relation to the feed loop 822 such that substantially all of the magnetic flux generated by the current flowing through the feed loop 822 passes through both the area circumscribed by the feed loop 822, and the area circumscribed by the main loop 820, 820′.
An antenna 910 for the load control device 204A according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B. As shown in FIG. 9A, a first side 910A of the antenna 910 includes a feed loop trace 922 that terminates at two terminals 926, 930. A main loop trace 920 is provided on a second side 910B of the antenna 910 as shown in FIG. 9B and is electrically isolated from the feed loop trace 922. The main loop trace 920 includes a break 925 with a capacitor 924 disposed across the break. A third tab 928 is provided on the PCB of the antenna 910 to aid in connection of the antenna to the dimmer PCB 412.
The terminal 926 is connected to circuit common on the dimmer PCB 412, while the terminal 930 is coupled to an RF transceiver. When a signal is conducted from the transceiver to the feed loop terminal 930, current flows through the feed loop trace 922 and the terminal 926. Accordingly, a current is induced in the main loop trace 920 due to the magnetic coupling of the main loop and the feed loop and an RF signal is transmitted from the load control device 204A.
Although the words “device” and “unit” have been used to describe the elements of the lighting control systems of the present invention, it should be noted that each “device” and “unit” described herein need not be fully contained in a single enclosure or structure. For example, the master control unit 202 of FIG. 2 may comprise a plurality of buttons in a wall-mounted device and a processor that is included in a separate location.

Nice hotel in a great location. Clean with friendly staff.
Limited English.
Fairly new hotel in a fantastic location, close to 3 subway lines and surrounded by little restaurants. The immediate area doesn't have anything for tourists but 2 blocks from the subway make it a good central spot. Friendly staff, but limited English. Average breakfast. For the price though great value, would happily recommend.

Short stay in b Ochanomizu”
The hotel is conveniently located. Staff is helpful.
It is hard to find. It is overpriced. Rooms are very basic. Breakfast is basic.
The hotel is conveniently located but is pretty hard to find. It is overpriced. Rooms are very basic and I had tobacco smell despite ordering a non-smoking room. Breakfast is barely sufficient.

Close to Tokyo Station...”
Good location... close to Tokyo Station, Ginza... walking distance to Akihabara & Imperial Palace.
Priced a little higher... for the location I suppose...
I chose this hotel for its proximity to Tokyo Station. I knew going in that I was paying more but that proximity was important to me... Breakfast was included, nothing to rave about. But the location, within walking distance to Akihabara and the Imperial Palace, was a plus for me...

Nice little nest for travellers”
Nice location, handy to station that leads to everywhere in inner tokyo; Clean and tidy room with daily room service;
Staff's English skill could be improved. Overall speaking this is a very nice and handy nest located in one of the best locations in Tokyo which makes this hotel an ideal choice for travellers and business trips. Handy location and close-by train/subway station can lead to everywhere in inner tokyo. Being next to Akihabara which is one the must-see place in Tokyo and walking distance to Ueno which has a lovely zoo and Toshogu palace for world heritage site visit. A lovely place to stay and would like to come and stay again. تاريخ التقييم 08 يناير 2010

The b @ Ochanomizu”
quiet on the 8th floor, easy access to Awajicho Station 1 minute walk, nice sushi restaurant nearby, free internet
Lovely boutique hotel, clean and quiet. We were given a later check-out @12pm. Could have a little more variety @ breakfast.
Outstanding hotel with 5 star customer service”
Very quite and excellent location with 5 star customer service
This was one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Tokyo. Great location, close to many areas in Tokyo. The hotel staff was outstanding and VERY helpful. The breakfast was excellent
Excellent location. Nice room.”
Very quiet, but excellent location. Well maintained and exceptionally clean.
Free breakfast was Western style. I would have liked Japanese style breakfast.
excellent location. on a street, a block away from the main road and the train station. less than a minute walk to awajicho station, which was an easy getaway to all the attractions. non-smoking room seemed truly non-smoking without any wafting odors. room was quiet as well and i slept nicely. breakfast was buffet style with western items, but since i was visiting japan as a tourist i would have preferred japenese breakfast. exceptionally clean. a bit small but "small" was the theme for most of the hotels. i am about 6'4" and did'nt have any issue with the size. free computer with internet access in the lobby was convenient to plan sight-seeing. i would definitely stay here again.

Very affordable, walking distance to Electric Town, breakfast included
Breakfast could have a bit more variety
the room was small but decent. very clean and well presented.
staff were very friendly and helpful. spoke enough english to understand what we were saying.
the hotel is located behind a reasonably busy road with many restaurants and convenience stores. do go exploring the back streets at night as you will find small authentic restaurants on corners. it is also located within walking distance to akihabara aka electric town. the one area you will find anything you want on electronics.

Great room with a comfy bed”
Cleanliness, convenience
stayed here in december 2010 for 2 nights. the room is very clean and the economy double bed is wide and extremely comfortable. the location is great too, being only a stone's throw away from the music and sports shopping district on yasukuni rd (perfect for snowboarders) and the jr and metro stations.
however, for the price, the hotel falls short with its lack of wifi and travel adapters (which from experience is commonly available in other japanese hotels, many of which were cheaper).

On a parallel track the Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, is “omnipresent” at the White House, by one official’s description, leading the effort with Mr. Lew to plan for emergency actions by the government and the financial system should Congress and Mr. Obama fail to reach an agreement.No measure can pass without the president’s signature, so Mr. Obama is far from irrelevant. But his limited ability in a divided government to affect the legislation and his inability before now to shape a compromise with House Republicans, many of them dedicated to never compromising with him, is proving the most significant test to date of his campaign promise to bridge the two parties and make Washington work.Worse, with the health of a still-fragile recovery resting on the outcome, a bad ending could leave Mr. Obama more vulnerable politically than he is now, with 9 percent unemployment, on the issue that is likely to define the 2012 elections — his handling of the economy.
Stephen Crowley/The New York Times Vin Weber, a Republican strategist and former congressman, said Mr. Obama could be hurt by the summer’s saga even though his position in the debt-limit debate — for a balanced package of spending cuts and revenue increase — is more popular than Republicans’ demands for deep spending cuts only, and a reshaping of Medicare and Medicaid.
“I think that his position on the issue is more broadly shared than Republicans would like to think, but he is damaging his leadership image because people don’t see him solving the problem,” Mr. Weber said.“I’m not saying the president has an easy task ahead of him and he can do it at the snap of his fingers,” Mr. Weber added, in reference to Congressional Republicans’ hard line. “I’m just saying in the end the failure to solve this problem is going to weigh more heavily on him than on anybody in Congress.”
Anticipating that the run-up to Aug. 2 would be dominated by the debt-limit clash, the White House kept Mr. Obama’s schedule for the final weeks of July and early August clear of the weekly trips he had been taking for economy-related events and Democratic fund-raisers.Officials said they have no White House war room for this nail-biting climax. Instead they described a rolling series of meetings in the offices of Mr. Biden, Mr. Daley, Mr. Lew and, daily meetings in the Oval Office.Advisers parcel out assignments for appearances on cable and network television to make the administration’s case. There are calls or meetings with leaders and members of Congress and with labor and business groups. Mr. Daley, Mr. Geithner and Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House adviser, are reaching out to business and financial leaders to enlist their help in spreading the word of the urgency of raising the debt limit.

GCSE English and English Literature HELP
In this section you answer questions on media and non-fiction texts you have not seen before. You are marked for reading only, so (in this section) you need not worry about your writing style. Use white space, bullet points, underlining and other appropriate methods to show clearly how you have answered a question. You may refer to evidence in the passages, but should not copy out large amounts. If you are asked to give a list you may use phrases rather than full sentences. Keep the length of answers in proportion to the number of marks on offer. You have an hour for the first section, worth 27 marks. This means that the number of minutes you spend on each part should be twice the available marks (e.g. 4 marks = 8 minutes). You have 45 minutes for the second section, also worth 27 marks. This section is not divided into further parts.
Expect to find two (or more) texts on the same subject or theme. These may be more or less factual, or may give opinions - they may do both, in different places. Expect to have a question that asks you to identify fact and opinion, and say how you know which is which. Be aware of the contrast between writing which is subjective, personal, opinionated and committed and writing which is objective, detached and impartial. Often (but not always) subjective writing is in the first person (the writer appears as I) while objective writing may be in the third person (people are named or referred to as he or she, while the writer does not usually appear in the piece).
At some point(s) you may be asked to comment on language. Try to do better than referring vaguely to language or words. Below are some headings you might use to organize comment on language. This is not a full list - you should practise reading texts with your teacher's guidance.
Nouns (naming words for things): are they familiar, ordinary or exotic and strange? Verbs (action words): are they strong and forceful? Do they express abstractions like hoping, thinking or believing? Adjectives (words which describe nouns): How do they make the meaning clear? Adverbs (words which describe verbs): How do they affect the verbs they qualify? Pronouns (words like I or they): How do these show the viewpoint?
Look for comparisons, like metaphor and simile: what effect do these have? Look for words which sound like their meaning (onomatopoeia). Look for words or phrases which make written texts seem like speech (colloquialism). Look for play on words. Look for ambiguity, irony and sarcasm, or examples of humour.
In this section, you are assessed for spelling and punctuation. Use the question paper and the passages for the Reading section as a dictionary, if you need one. Use these to find the keywords for your own writing. Use the time available to write enough, but do not write a very long answer - you are marked for quality not quantity. Two pages of your answer book may be enough - four is excessive. It is essential that you look for the keyword for your task: argue, persuade or instruct. Whichever you choose, make sure your writing does it consistently. It is also essential that you note the audience - the people or person for whom you are meant to be writing. The manner and style of your answer must show that you have seen this. If it's for young readers, keep sentences short. In fact, keep them short in any case, unless you have a good reason to write complex sentences, and the skill to do so. Layout is important - if you write a leaflet, a magazine feature, a letter or a playscript, make sure it looks like one on the page. You don't get extra marks for elaborate artwork, but you should use appropriate layout, size of text and indicate where graphics might appear.
When you do Paper 2, you have your Anthology with you. You may wish to use it as a dictionary and source of ideas (it is full of poems and stories). But don't copy passages from it directly - the examiners will recognize where they come from! Some students use ideas in the poems they have studied as a starting-point for writing: this is allowed. Unlike the writing task on Paper 1, this one may not necessarily be aimed at a particular audience. If this is the case, write as you would for an intelligent general reader. You will have opportunities to write about things which you know, or things which have happened in your life. Keep in mind whether you are writing to inform, explain or describe. Inform requires you to give facts, in an organized and clear way. Explain requires you to show what something means - to get beneath the facts, and find the importance it has for you or others. Describe requires you to find ways of showing the details of something. The different tasks will appeal to different kinds of student. You should know which of them you are best at, before you go into the exam. If you write personally, you may exaggerate or alter details for effect. But you should avoid fantasising, as this rarely produces good writing. If your subject seems too big, don't write at length - focus on the important bits. And don't be trapped by chronology (time sequence) - tell things in the order which makes for the best writing!

Giving it 8 Stars: Pentax Compact Camera Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review
Forum indexPentax Compact Camera TalkChange forum Giving it 8 Stars
Review of Pentax Q The Q deserves five stars for build quality, innovation, size, features, and superb image quality: all of which makes it a camera that's just pure fun to use.The addition of firmware 1.10 puts it over the top by adding focus peaking and shake reduction for ALL Q-mount and adapted mount lenses which means with a little care it's almost impossible to produce an unplanned out-of-focus image. You also get Pentax's unique TAv (integrated shutter-aperture-auto iso) mode which makes the capture process so much easier.In my view, the Q has been transformed from the 'little engine that could' to 'the little engine that does.' So five stars from before, plus three after 1.10 adds up to eight. I could not be more pleased!Get one while you can!Problems:~~ none ~~ 13thBagel's gear list:13thBagel's gear list

Champions of the North - Pittsburgh - Scout
Champions of the NorthSteelCityInsider.com12/14/2008The Steelers clinched the AFC North title and a bye in the first round of the playoffs with a 13-9 victory at Baltimore Sunday.The amazing wins just keep on coming.
Needing three points to tie their game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers took possession of the ball at their own 8 with 3:36 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Despite playing against the league's second-ranked defense on its home field before an M&T Bank Stadum-record crowd of 71,502, Ben Roethlisberger drove Pittsburgh 92 yards for the game-winning touchdown, as the Steelers pulled out their fifth fourth quarter victory of the season with a 13-9 win here over the Ravens.
With the victory, the Steelers (11-3) not only swept the Ravens for the first time since 2002 – the last time they won in Baltimore – they also clinched the AFC North championship for the second consecutive season under Tomlin. They've also wrapped up a bye in the first round of the AFC playoffs with a chance to lay claim on the top spot next week at Tennessee (12-2).
That it came at the expense of the Ravens (9-5) on their home field was gratifying.
That it also hurt the Ravens' playoff chances was almost equally so.
Baltimore gave the Steelers all they could handle, taking a 9-3 lead into the fourth quarter.
But the Steelers rallied by scoring the game's final 10 points – including driving the length of the field in the closing minutes to win it.
Roethlisberger, who completed 22 of 40 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown, directed a 54-yard field goal drive to close it to 9-6 with 9:26 remaining.
The Ravens drove to the Pittsburgh 27 on their next possession, but Lawrence Timmons sacked Joe Flacco on third down, forcing him to fumble, pushing the Ravens back out of field goal range.
But the ensuing punt was downed at the Pittsburgh 8, giving the Steelers the ball back with just 3:36 remaining.
Roethlisberger completed seven passes for 89 yards, finishing the drive off with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 43 seconds remaining to put the Steelers ahead.
Roethlisberger scrambled to his left on the play, then back toward the middle of the field before firing the ball to Holmes, who had both feet in the end zone.
Holmes landed on the 2-yard line after catching the ball and was initially ruled as down there. But since the play occured in the final two minutes, the replay booth called for a review and it was ruled Holmes was in the end zone when he caught the ball.
"He had two feet down. When he gained control of the ball, the ball was breaking the plane," said referee Walt Coleman.
It was a big play for Holmes, who had lost a fumble in the third quarter deep in Pittsburgh territory that led to a Baltimore field goal.
Pittsburgh held the Ravens to a season-low 202 yards, their 14th consecutive game in which they limited an opponent to under 300 yards. That ties the 1973 Los Angeles Rams for the most games holding an opponent under 300 yards since the NFL merger in 1970.
All the Ravens could manage on offense was three Matt Stover field goals as Flacco, Baltimore's rookie quarterback, struggled to solve Pittsburgh's top-ranked defense. Flacco finished with 11 completions in 28 attempts for 115 yards and two interceptions.

It was what we expected - Review of Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Paducah, KY, Paducah, KY - TripAdvisor
It was what we expected - Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Paducah, KY
Our first time here, and the Country Inn and Suites what exactly what we expected after staying in their facilities elsewhere. The room was clean, the towels moderately soft, the water hot and water pressure good, the plumbing worked, the air conditioner worked and wasn't noisy. The gym room has a couple of treadmills and elliptical machines and a TV set, and the breakfast has the same variety found elsewhere. This hotel is a bit smaller than others, just one elevator, small breakfast room, small parking lot, ice on the floor below, but that wasn't an issue for us. We'd stay there again.
Ask MBGX about Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Paducah, KY
323 - 328 of 450 reviews
We recently spent four nights and five days here and really enjoyed our stay. We have previously stayed at this location several times and always recommend it. They have a friendly and helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, nice pool and the free hot breakfast is not bad. I would like to thank especially Kim at the front desk who helped both us and my sister fix our reservations (done thru a third party and not correct). Kim helped us get them corrected. Also, our housekeeper, Kiran. She was very friendly and did a wonderful job keeping us clean and well stocked with supplies. We will definitely stay at this location whenever we are in the area.
Room Tip: Room 311 is right next to the elevator and a little noisy. Avoid that if possible. Other rooms were nice and relatively quiet.
Ask Brenda B about Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Paducah, KY
Right off the highway. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Nice room and great mattresses. WiFi connection can be a little tricky--ask staff. Walking distance to Panera Bread. Enjoyed the real coffee cups at breakfast. Manager Timothy really understands meaning of hospitality.
Room Tip: First floor rooms can hear foot steps from rooms above, but not bad.

Room Tip: Used ad in travel book from the welcome center to get the room for less cost.

I was a late check in and although no cookies or Carlson member check in gift was offered staff was pleasant & quick to get me checked in. Room was clean, beds comfortable, this was a stop off on longer driving trip to rest. Because of late check in & need to get back on the road I did not attempt to make it to breakfast. The front desk staff Lea upon check out went above & beyond to make sure an important item I needed mailed got taken care of. Lea's kindness is the reason I enjoy Country Inn hotel's most, the staff on my stay's have made the difference. I'd recommend this hotel to friends & family without hesitation.
Ask kcshannonb about Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Paducah, KY
The best place I've ever stayed at

What a great and razor. I used it to shave my legs and I Loved how comfortable the handle was to hold. It didn't slip in my hand or feel awkward. The finished shave left my legs feeling very smooth and knick free. I really wish that the had replacement heads for these razors, but that was my only complaint. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Shay78, March 21, 2019
These disposable razors work great from Venus. My only problem is that there should be 5 blades for a closer shave, not 3. I do like how these razors are for sensitive skin, that is definitely helpful. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Can I shave the bikini area with these razors?
by bethApril 2, 2014
1. These blades are designed to be used all over the body.
by dianavalde
3. Waxing is better but if you're very careful you can.
4. Hi beth, Thank you for your interest in Gillette! Yes, you can use the Venus Sensitive Disposable razors to shave the bikini area. If you are looking for a razor specifically to shave the bikini area, I recommend our Venus Bikini Trimmer. Here is a link to check that out: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gillette-Venus-Razor-Bikini-Kit-1ea/13911205 I hope this helps, Adam

Mourinho says Wenger's Gunners too young to win the Premier League this year
Updated: 01:44 EST, 12 August 2008
Jose Mourinho believes that Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal players are too young to win the Premier League title this year.
And the former Chelsea boss is tipping Rafa Benitez's Liverpool to claim the Premier League crown, according to The Sun.
Mourinho’s Inter Milan side played in this weekend’s Amsterdam tournament but did not face Arsenal.
Van Persie: too young?
Mourinho: tips Liverpool
It's fate Inter will be paired with Chelsea in Europe, says Mourinho Diaby injury blow leaves Arsenal manager Wenger feeling the strain
Mourinho said: 'I saw Arsenal. They have a good team but have a small group of experienced players. The second group is full of boys. They have talent but maybe Arsenal are without the depth needed to win the title.
'Man United and Chelsea will be fighting but one day Liverpool are going to get that title. I think it might be this year.'
