When it comes to attacks on the human face, the nose is one of the biggest targets after the eyes and the mouth: after all, it's the first element of the face that's within reach. Though it doesn't have quite the same visceral response as attacking the eyes or the teeth, it's a very obvious vulnerability with its own special brand of pain and visual flair attached.
Hitting someone in the ear, for example, is painful but not quite as visually distinctive; in fiction, breaking someone's nose is not only noticeable thanks to the spectacular nosebleed, but it's often considered a sign that the attacker has done some serious damage. As anyone who's ever experienced this in real life knows, a broken nose is a big deal: the pain is immediate, the impact is disorienting, breathing may be impeded, the blood flow is often quite dramatic, and the nose itself may end up a different shape altogether if not properly treated.
When it comes to more serious injuries, there's a reason why characters with no noses appear unusual in live-action works: the nose plays a very important role in the human perception of the face, and without it, the entire face looks wrong... and that's not even getting into the horror of having the nose reduced to a gaping hole, for example. As such, going for the nose is one of the most common tactics in facial mutilation as a means of leaving the victim noticeably scarred for life.
Long story short, this trope deals with attacks on the nose of any kind. If they cause pain, they're here.
- Someone's nose being grabbed, twisted, or used to drag someone around by.
- Someone's nose being bashed or broken.
- Someone's nose being bitten.
- Someone's nose being cut — or sliced clean off.
- Someone's nose being shot off.
- Someone's nose having something sharp or generally uncomfortable jammed into it.
- Someone's nose being eroded away.
- Someone's nose exploding.
- Someone's nose comedically throbbing.
Depending on the severity of the attack, this can result in the character becoming The Noseless.
Extreme cases may involve Facial Horror or Cold-Blooded Torture of some kind.
Compare Agony of the Feet, Ear Ache, Fingore, and Tongue Trauma for other injuries to specific body parts.
Compare Psychic Nosebleed. Contrast Nasal Weapon.

- Amputation of the nose was a popular punishment throughout the world, existing as far back as the Code of Hammurabi and continuing up to the Renaissance: quite apart from being immensely painful, facial disfigurement guaranteed that the criminal would be easy to identify from then on, and the nose proved the hardest for an offender to disguise.

- Snorting drugs has a very nasty effect on the septum: the nosebleeds so often encountered in cocaine users isn't due to any effect of the chemical itself, but due to the fact that the inside of your nose is being rasped raw with powder. In time, this can lead to serious side-effects, including perforation of the septum, damage to the soft palate, nasal ulcers, or even necrosis. In extreme cases, the entire nose might have to be amputated.

The location of the pivotal point of the hinge arrangement ( 22, 34, 95, 125) is movable.
The instant application is a national phase of, and claims priority to, PCT International Application No. PCT/GB2010/050759, filed on May 10, 2010, pending, and GB Patent Application Serial No. 0907951.8, filed on May 8, 2009, pending, the entire specifications of both of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to window installations for inclined roofs, in particular to a mounting bracket suitable for mounting such a roof window to a roof.
Roof windows, or skylights, which are fitted to sloping or inclined roof surfaces typically compromise a main frame structure and a openable sash structure, each having top, bottom and side members, the main frame being mountable to the roof structural members and the sash being pivotally mounted to the main frame about an axis of rotation parallel with the respective top and bottom members. During installation care must be taken to ensure that the roof window is mounted to the roof at a correct height above the surrounding roof surface in order to accommodate the particular roof covering used or to be used, the various possible roof covering materials often varying widely in thickness and type.
Presently, fixtures are provided as separate items which must be attached to the window assembly by the persons installing the windows and often there can be confusion as to their correct usage in terms of setting the correct height of the window as well as overall positioning and alignment. As a result correct installation of a roof window can be a time consuming activity that is fraught with potential error and is unsuitable for unskilled workers.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to alleviate the disadvantages associated with the prior art.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a mounting bracket for a roof window comprising frame mountable means, roof mountable means and hinge means for mechanically coupling the roof mountable means and the frame mountable means together so that the roof mountable means is movable between an out of use storage position and an in use mounting position, wherein the location of the pivotal point of the hinge means is movable/adjustable.
Advantageously, the roof mountable means can be moved pivotally relative to the frame mountable means and therefore pivotally relative to the frame when the mounting bracket is mounted on the window frame. This means that the mounting bracket can be stowed substantially within the boundary of the frame during transport and hinged into the mounting position for installation. However, the design of the mounting bracket to facilitate movement of the pivotal point of the hinge means also allows the roof mountable means to be adjustable relative to the frame mountable means and consequently the window frame in a plane substantially parallel to a vertical surface of the window frame in use.
Ideally, the hinge means has guide means and slide means. Advantageously, the guide means and the slide means allows the position of the pivotal point of the hinge means to be easily moved in a controlled manner. This slide means and guide means also helps to ensure the adjustability of the mounting bracket between the out of use storage position and the in use mounting position is intuitive for the person installing the roof window.
Preferably, the location of the slide means is adjustable along the guide means.
Ideally, the mounting bracket has means for releasably fixing the location of the roof mountable means relative to the frame mountable means at one or more in use mounting positions. Advantageously, the releasable fixing means allows the installer to select the appropriate position for the roof mountable means to be fixed relative to the frame mounting means. A number of options are engineered into the mounting bracket based on a number of different types of roof covering materials with a different depth dimension. The off site prefixing of the position of the in use bracket mounting positions means that the installer has no measuring, awkward holding or additional screwing to do in situ on the roof.
Preferably, the guide means comprises a pair of spaced apart mutually opposing slots.
Ideally, the slide means comprises a pair of lugs for slidable engagement in the slots. Advantageously, the lugs and slots provide a simple mechanical engineering solution to allow the pivotal point of the hinge means to be adjusted along a preset track. This allows the roof mountable means to be intuitively adjusted between the out of use storage position and a range of in use mounting positions.
Ideally, the spaced apart slots are formed on the roof mountable means or the frame mountable means. Advantageously, the slots are prefabricated and preferably pressed into either component of the mounting bracket during the manufacturing process.
Preferably, the pair of lugs extend from the roof mountable means or the frame mountable means. Advantageously, the lugs are prefabricated into either component of the mounting bracket during the manufacturing process.
Ideally, the spaced apart slots are rectilinear or curvilinear. Advantageously, the curvilinear slots accommodate the roof mountable means to be stowed in an out of use position on an adjacent frame member of the roof window frame.
Preferably, the guide means comprises a guide pin and the slide means comprises a collar.
Ideally, the releasable fixing means comprises male and female members provided between the roof mountable means and the frame mountable means. Advantageously, the male and female releasable fixing members pre engineered into the mounting bracket accommodate quick and safe locating of the roof mountable means in one of a range of in use mounting positions subject to the specific roofing materials to be used.
Preferably, the releasable fixing means comprises one or more tongues for interaction with one or more grooves.
Ideally, the releasable fixing means comprises visible indicia means where the mounting bracket has two or more in use mounting positions. Advantageously, the roof window installation instructions will advise which visible indicia means corresponds to which roof covering material. Again, the technical advantage achieved is that the fitter installing the roof window does not have to measure the position each bracket should be set at for a particular roof covering material. The installer simply selects one of the prefixed positions as indicated on the installation instructions and clicks the mounting bracket into place.
Preferably, the visible indicia means comprises colour coded plugs formed for insertion into grooves. Advantageously, the installer is required to make a positive decision and action to remove a colour coded plug dependent on the roof covering material being installed on the roof.
Ideally, urging means are provided for urging the roof mountable means into either or both of the out of use storage position and the in use mounting position. Advantageously, the urging means removes the requirement for the roof mountable means to be temporarily fixed onto the frame in the storage position and also removes the requirement for temporary pinning means to hold the roof mountable means in the in use position. The urging means provides the mounting bracket with inbuilt flick fit technology giving the installer reassuring sensory feedback indicating a secure and accurate fitting of the mounting bracket.
Preferably, the urging means is provided by biasing means or magnetic means.
Ideally, the biasing means is a leaf spring acting on a portion of the roof mountable means.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a roof window with a plurality of mounting brackets as outlined above.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a mounting bracket for a roof window comprising frame mountable means, roof mountable means and means for mechanically coupling the roof mountable means and the frame mountable means together so that the roof mountable means is movable between an out of use storage position and an in use mounting position and urging means for urging the roof mountable means into either or both of the out of use storage position and the in use mounting position. The advantages of the features highlighted above apply equally to the same features recited below in relation to this aspect of the invention.
Ideally, the mechanical coupling means is a hinge means.
Ideally, the urging means is provided by biasing means or magnetic means.

Ideally, the releasable fixing means comprises one or more tongues for interaction with one or more grooves.
Preferably, the releasable fixing means comprises visible indicia means where the mounting bracket has two or more in use mounting positions.
Ideally, the visible indicia means comprise colour coded plugs formed for insertion into grooves.
A roof window with a plurality of mounting brackets as outlined above in relation to this aspect of the invention.
Conveniently, the roof mountable means is further adapted for attachment to a roof member such as a rafter or a lathe extending between adjacent rafters.
Advantageously, the roof mountable means is removably attachable to the frame mountable means.
Alternatively, the roof mountable means can be attached to the frame mountable means by hooks, catches, claps, screws, bolts or other suitable means.
Ideally, the frame mountable means is at least one mounting plate.
Preferably, the at least one mounting plate has at least one protruding tongue.
Alternatively, the frame mountable means is in the form of any one or more of, or combination of, the following: rail(s); recess(es); insert(s); pre-located or pre-drilled hole(s); pre-located screw(s); pre-located bolt(s); pre-located dowel(s); pre-machined locating slot(s). It should be appreciated that this is not exhaustive and that other suitable means can be used.
Conveniently, the at least one mounting plate is provided with one or more locating tabs.
Ideally, the one or more locating tabs project perpendicularly from one edge of the mounting plate to ensure accurate alignment of said mounting plate along the edge of a window frame member against which the tab or tabs engage.
Preferably, the roof mountable means comprises a substantially L-shaped bracket member having a first leg and a second leg.
Ideally, the first leg is coupled to the hinge means.
Preferably, the first leg has one or more grooves mountable onto the one or more tongues of the mounting plate.
Ideally, the second leg has means for coupling the L-shaped bracket member to the roof.
In a first embodiment, the first leg is adapted to reside substantially within a space defined by a cut-out portion on the mounting plate when the second leg is attached to the roof structure.
Preferably, on opposing side edges of the first leg there are provided opposing first and second pairs of lugs which extend laterally outwardly from said leg.
Conveniently, the first pair of lugs are adapted for slidable and pivotal cooperation with guide members provided on the mounting plate so that the L-shaped bracket can be moved laterally relative said mounting plate and can be pivoted relative said mounting plate.
Conveniently, the guide members provided on the mounting plate also provide the hinge means by which the L-shaped bracket is attached to the mounting plate.
Advantageously, the second pair of lugs function as stops which dwell within pairs of spaced part complementary recesses provided on the mounting plate when a desired mounting position is selected.
Advantageously, the complementary recesses provided on the mounting plate define predetermined first and second detent positions for the L-shaped bracket to observe, each detent position dependent upon the thickness of the type of roof covering the be used e.g. slate or tile, and which in turn determines the height of the window frame with respect to the surrounding roof surface.
Optionally, the mounting plate may be provided with additional complementary recesses so that additional predetermined detent positions for the L-shaped bracket to observe are provided thereby enabling a greater degree of mounting bracket adjustability.
Conveniently, the mounting plate is further provided with an elongate tab which extends at least partially over the cut-out portion of said mounting plate and which contacts the upper surface of the first leg in an overlapping manner when the mounting bracket is in an in-use position.
Advantageously, the tab provides additional rigidity to the mounting bracket and prevents the L-shaped bracket from rotatably moving or flexing relative the mounting plate when the mounting bracket is fastened to a window frame member and a roof member.
Advantageously, the L-shaped bracket can be pivoted backwardly over the mounting plate so that a roof window assembly incorporating the mounting brackets of the invention can be pre-packaged and delivered on-site with said mounting brackets already mounted in position and the L-shaped brackets conveniently stowed away without protruding outwardly from the window assembly.
In a second embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate is mountable over a groove or channel provided on the window frame member, the channel being provided with an urging means such as a spring which is insertable therein and which is engageable with the first leg of the L-shaped bracket when the mounting bracket is mounted to the window frame member. It will of course be appreciated that the groove or channel is one way of providing sufficient space for the urging means to function and is not an essential feature for the mounting bracket with an urging means to function properly.
In the second embodiment of the invention, the spring means is a leaf spring.
Advantageously, the spring bias of the leaf spring acting upon the L-shaped bracket enables said bracket to be movable between, and maintainable at any oone of or any combination of, a stowed position, an intermediate equilibrium position and an in use mounting position.
In the second embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate is provided with a tongue which is engageable with one of a plurality of complementary grooves provided in the first leg of the L-shaped bracket.
Advantageously, the tongue acts as a stop when the bracket is moved into an in use mounting position by dwelling within one of the complementary grooves/recesses provided on the first leg of the L-shaped bracket when a desired mounting bracket position is selected.
Advantageously, the complementary recesses provided on the L-shaped bracket define predetermined first and second detent positions for the bracket to observe, each detent position dependent upon the thickness of type of roof covering to be used e.g. slate of tile, and which in turn determines the height of the window frame with respect to the surrounding roof surface.
Conveniently, in the second embodiment of the invention the bracket is supplied with colour-coded plugs, the plugs being insertable within the respective complementary grooves/recesses and each representing a selectable window height setting in accordance with printed instructions provided with the mounting bracket or on the window frame.
The invention will hereinafter be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of example only, four embodiments of a mounting bracket in accordance with the invention.
Referring initially to figref[FIG. 1] , figref[FIG. 2] , figref[FIG. 3] and figref[FIG. 4] , there is shown a first embodiment of a mounting bracket indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 for mounting a roof window to a roof, the mounting bracket 1 having a mounting plate 2 and a L-shaped bracket 3, the L-shaped bracket 3 being adapted for hinged attachment to the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is adapted for attachment to a window frame member 50 (see figref[FIG. 3] and figref[FIG. 4] ) and the L-shaped bracket 3 is further adapted for attachment to a roof member such as an rafter of a lathe 60 (see figref[FIG. 3] ) extending between adjacent rafters. Two apertures 27 enable mounting plate 3 to be secured to a window frame member 50 with screws or other suitable fasteners. Two locating tabs 26 project perpendicularly from one edge of the mounting plate 2 to ensure accurate alignment along the edge of the window frame member 50 against which said locating tabs 26 engage as shown in figref[FIG. 3] and figref[FIG. 4] .
The L-shaped bracket 3 has a first leg 31 and a second leg 32, the first leg 31 being adapted to reside substantially within the space defined by a cut-out portion 21 on mounting plate 2 when the second leg 32 is attached to the roof structure 60. The second leg 32 has apertures 36 defined therein for receiving screws or other suitable fasteners which extend through apertures 36 as indicated in figref[FIG. 4] to fix the mounting bracket 1 to the lathe 60. On opposing side edges 33 of first leg 31, there are provided opposing pairs of lugs 34, 35 which extend laterally from said leg. A first pair of lugs 34 are adapted for slidable and pivotal cooperation with guide members 22 provided on mounting plate 2 so that the L-shaped bracket 3 can be moved in a plane substantially parallel to the main plane of the mounting plate 2. The lugs 35 function as stops which dwell within spaced apart pairs of complementary recesses 23, 24 provided on the mounting plate 2 when a desired bracket mounting position is selected. Recesses 23 and 24 define predetermined first and second detent positions for the L-shaped bracket 3 to observe, each position dependent upon the type of roof covering to be used e.g. slate or tile or upon on the thickness of particular roof covering material, which in turn determines the height of the window frame within the roof and with respect to said surrounding roof covering. When L-shaped bracket 3 is moved into a first detent position with lugs 35 in engagement with recesses 24 as shown in figref[FIGS. 1 to 3] , the roof window upon which mounting brackets 1 are attached will sit slightly lower relative to the surrounding roof structure than would be the case when lugs 35 are placed into the second detent position in recesses 23. In this way the mounting bracket 1 is afforded with ready adjustability which removes installer discretion and thereby mitigates against incorrect installation.
Mounting plate 2 is further provided with an elongate tab 28 which extends at least partially over cut-out portion 21 and which contacts the upper surface of leg 31 in an overlapping manner when mounting bracket 1 is in an in-use position as shown in figref[FIGS. 1 to 4] . Tab 28 provides additional rigidity to mounting bracket 1 and prevents L-shaped bracket 3 from rotatably moving or flexing relative to the mounting plate 2 when the mounting bracket 1 is fastened to a window frame member and a roof member.
Referring to figref[FIGS. 5] a to 5 g there is shown a second embodiment of mounting bracket indicated generally by the reference numeral 41 for mounting a roof window to a roof. In the second embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate 2 a is mountable over a groove or channel 52 provided on the window frame member 50. The channel 52 is provided with a spring 53 in the form of a leaf spring which is inserted in the channel 52 and which is engaged with the underside of the first leg 31 of the L-shaped bracket 3 a when the mounting bracket 41 is mounted to the window frame member as shown in the Figures. Leaf spring 53 is biased so that the spring force acts against L-shaped bracket 3 a while said L-shaped bracket 3 a is pivoted backwardly over mounting plate 3 a as shown in figref[FIG. 6] a so that it can be maintained in a stowed position (figref[FIGS. 5] b and 5 e), an intermediate equilibrium position (figref[FIG. 5] c and figref[FIG. 5] f) and an in use position (figref[FIG. 5] d and figref[FIG. 5] g). This enables an installer to simply flick the bracket 3 a from the stowed position to the in use position without the requirement of having to remove any separate pinning means which would usually have been used to maintain the L-shaped bracket 3 a in the stowed position. The spring also obviates the requirement for additional fastening members to maintain the bracket in the in use position as it is being moved into position by the installer.
In the second embodiment of the invention and as illustrated in figref[FIGS. 5] a to 5 d, mounting plate 2 a is provided with a spur 70 which is engageable with one of two complementary recesses 72, 73 provided in the first leg 32 of the L-shaped bracket 3 a. Spur 70 acts as a stop when the L-shaped bracket 3 a is moved into an in use position (figref[FIG. 5] d) by dwelling within one of the complementary recesses 71, 72 provided on the mounting plate 2 a when a desired bracket mounting position is selected. Each complementary recess 71, 72 provided on the L-shaped bracket 3 a defines alternative first and second detent positions for the L-shaped bracket 3 a to observe in use, each detent position determining a desired height of the window frame with respect to the surrounding roof surface. The desired height is dependent upon the thickness of the type of roof covering to be used e.g. slate or tile.
In the second embodiment of the invention bracket 3 a is supplied with two colour-coded plugs 73, 74 each plug being inserted into complementary recesses 71, 72, respectively, and each representing a selectable window height setting in accordance with printed instructions provided with the mounting bracket 41 or on the window frame. For example, when the window is to be used on a roof which will incorporate thin tiles the window should therefore be placed at a lower height within the roof. In this case, in accordance with the instructions, it will be clear to a user that plug 74 having a particular colour should be removed to make recess 72 available to spur 70 as shown in figref[FIG. 5] d. Conversely, where the window is to be mounted to a roof which will incorporate thick tiles, it will be clear to a user that plug 73 which has a different colour should be removed to make recess 71 available to spur 70. The chamfered walls of recesses 71 and 72 and the wedged-shaped nature of plugs 73, 74 as shown in figref[FIG. 5] a are such that said plugs fit tightly within said recesses 71, 72 cannot be pushed out by spur 70 which ensures that the bracket can only be set to a desired in use position by a user who has followed the installation instructions as described above. The same guide members 22 and lugs 34 are used as in the first embodiment to provide the hinge arrangement.
Beneficially, the use of the of the various embodiments as described above enables reliable fitment of a window to a roof structure with excellent accuracy and reproducibility. In this way, a roof window to which the mounting brackets 1, 41 are attached can be readily accommodated in a roof irrespective of the type of roof covering used or to be used and without the need for excessive skill or judgement on the part of the person or persons installing said window.
Referring to the drawings and now to figref[FIGS. 6 to 8] , there is shown a third embodiment of mounting bracket indicated generally by the reference numeral 91. The mounting bracket 91 for a roof window 92 has a frame mountable member 93, a roof mountable member 94 and a hinge arrangement 95 for mechanically coupling the roof mountable member 94 and the frame mountable member 93 together so that the roof mountable member 94 is movable between an out of use storage position see figref[FIG. 6] and an in use mounting position, see figref[FIG. 8] . The location of the pivotal axis of the hinge assembly 95 is movable/adjustable.
Advantageously, the roof mountable member 94 can be moved pivotally relative to the frame mountable member 93 and therefore pivotally relative to the roof window frame 92 when the mounting bracket 91 is mounted on the roof window frame 92. This means that the mounting bracket 91 can be stowed substantially within the boundary of the roof window frame 92 during transport and subsequently hinged into the mounting position for installation. However, the design of the mounting bracket 91 to facilitate movement of the pivotal axis of the hinge assembly 95 also allows the roof mountable member 94 to be adjustable relative to the frame mountable member 93 and consequently the roof window frame 92 in a plane substantially parallel to a vertical surface 90 of the roof window frame 92 in use.
The hinge assembly 95 has a guide arrangement 97 and a slide arrangement 98. Advantageously, the guide arrangement 97 and the slide arrangement 98 ensure that the adjustability of the mounting bracket 91 between the out of use storage position and the in use mounting position is intuitive for the person installing the roof window frame 92. The position of the slide arrangement 98 is slidably adjustable along the guide arrangement 97.
The mounting bracket 91 also has a male member 101 and two cooperating female members 102 for releasably fixing the location of the roof mountable member 94 relative to the frame mountable member 93 at two in use mounting positions. It will of course be appreciated that additional in use mounting positions can be added by simply adding additional female members 102. Advantageously, the releasable fixing arrangement 101, 102 allows the installer to select the appropriate position for the roof mountable member 94 to be fixed relative to the frame mounting member 93. A number of predetermined positions are engineered into the mounting bracket 91 based on a number of different types of roof covering materials with a different depth dimension. The off-site prefixing of the position of the in use bracket mounting positions means that the installer has no measuring, awkward holding or additional screwing to do in situ on the roof.
The guide arrangement 97 comprises a pair of spaced apart mutually opposing elongate slots 105 and the slide arrangement 98 comprises a pair of lugs 116 for slidable engagement in the slots 105. Advantageously, the lugs 116 and slots 105 provide a simple mechanical engineering solution to allow the pivotal axis of the hinge assembly 95 to be adjusted along a preset track. This allows the roof mountable member 94 to be adjusted between the out of use storage position and a range of in use mounting positions. The spaced apart slots 105 are formed on the frame mountable member 93. Advantageously, the slots 105 are prefabricated into the mounting bracket 91 during the manufacturing process. The slots 105 are pressed. The pair of lugs 116 extend from the roof mountable member 94. Advantageously, the lugs 116 are also prefabricated into the mounting bracket 91 during the manufacturing process. The spaced apart slots 105 are curvilinear defining a 90 degree bend section along which the lugs 116 extend. The roof mountable member 94 is an L-shaped bracket and in combination with the curvilinear slots 105, these features allow the L-shaped bracket 94 to be stowed in an out of use position on an adjacent frame member 107 to the frame member the mounting plate 93 is mounted on.
The male member 101 in the form of a punched tongue with an upturned lip is provided on the frame mountable member 93 and the female members 102 are provided on a first leg of the L-shaped bracket 94 in the form of two grooves. Advantageously, the male and female releasable fixing members 101, 102 are engineered into the mounting bracket 91 to accommodate quick and safe location of the roof mountable member 94 in one of two in use mounting positions subject to the specific roofing materials to be used. The grooves 102 in the first leg of the L shaped bracket 94 are brought into alignment with the tongue 101 on the frame mounted plate member 93 by their relative positioning on their respective components in combination with the positioning of the guide members 97 and slide members 98.
The grooves 102 are formed for receiving visible indicia members where the mounting bracket 91 has two or more in use mounting positions. Advantageously, the roof window installation instructions will advise which visible indicia member corresponds to which roof covering material. Again, the technical advantage achieved is that the fitter installing the roof window does not have to measure the position each mounting bracket 91 should be set at for a particular roof covering material. The installer simply selects one of the prefixed positions as indicated on the installation instructions and clicks the mounting bracket 91 into place. The visible indicia members are colour coded plugs formed for insertion into the grooves 102. Advantageously, the installer is required to make a positive decision and action to remove a colour coded plug dependent on the roof covering material being installed on the roof.
An urging member 114 is provided for urging the L-shaped bracket 94 into either or both of the out of use storage position and the in use mounting position. Advantageously, the urging member 114 removes the requirement for the L-shaped bracket 94 to be temporarily fixed onto the roof window frame 92 in the storage position and also removes the requirement for temporary pinning fixtures to hold the L-shaped bracket 94 in the in use position. The urging member 114 provides the mounting bracket 91 with inbuilt flick fit technology giving the installer reassuring sensory feedback indicating a secure and accurate fitting of the mounting bracket 91. The urging member 114 is provided by a biasing member such as a spring or a magnet or both.
Referring to the drawings and now to figref[FIGS. 9 to 11] , there is shown a fourth embodiment of mounting bracket indicated generally by the reference numeral 121. The mounting bracket 121 for a roof window 122 has a frame mountable member 123, a roof mountable member 124 and a hinge arrangement 125 for mechanically coupling the roof mountable member 124 and the frame mountable member 123 together so that the roof mountable member 124 is movable between an out of use storage position see figref[FIG. 9] and an in use mounting position, see figref[FIG. 11] . The location of the pivotal point of the hinge assembly 125 is slidably movable/adjustable along a guide pin 127.
Advantageously, the roof mountable member 124 can be moved pivotally relative to the frame mounted member 123 and therefore pivotally relative to the roof window frame 122 when the mounting bracket 121 is mounted on the roof window frame 122. This means that the mounting bracket 121 can be stowed substantially within the boundary of the roof window frame 122 during transport and subsequently hinged into the mounting position for installation. However, the design of the mounting bracket 121 to facilitate movement of the pivotal point of the hinge assembly 125 also allows the roof mountable member 124 to be adjustable relative to the frame mountable member 123 and consequently the roof window frame 122 in a plane substantially parallel to a vertical surface of the roof window frame 122 in use.
In this embodiment, the hinge assembly 125 has the guide member 127 in the form of a guide pin and the slide member 126 comprises a collar. The frame mountable arrangement has a first plate 128 mechanically fixed to the frame 122 at an upper edge of the frame 122 with a tubular housing 129 for housing one end of the guide pin 127 and a second plate 128 mechanically fixed to the frame 122 at the lower edge of the frame 122 with a second tubular housing 129 for hosing the other end of the guide pin 127. Each plate 128 has a protruding male member 131 with an upturned lip. The roof mountable member 124 is an L-shaped bracket having a first leg 135 with the collar 126 attached along a lateral edge of the first leg 135 to support the main plane of the first leg 135 in a plane substantially parallel to the main plane of the mounting plates 128 in a stored position and a mounting position. The L-shaped bracket has a second leg 139 substantially perpendicular to the first leg 135 pointing towards the centre of the frame 122 in a stored position and pointing away from the frame 122 in a mounting position. Two female members 132 are provided as grooves on the first leg 135 which are alignable with the male members 131 on both mounting plates 128 in the stored position see figref[FIG. 9] and the two mounting positions see figref[FIG. 11] .

1 Then Yahweh gave me another message.
You boast that you are a god,
but you are in reality only a man, not a god.
3 You think that you are wiser than Daniel was,
and you think that you can understand every secret.
4 Because you were wise and shrewd in business, you have become very rich;
you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Yes, it is true that by buying and selling wisely, you have become very rich;
and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Therefore, Yahweh the Lord says that
because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 he will bring a foreign army to attack your country,
an army that causes other nations to be terrified.
 That will surely happen because Yahweh has said it.'"
11 Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 "Son of man, sing a sad song about the king of Tyre. Tell him that Yahweh the Lord says this to him:
'You were completely perfect,
extremely wise and handsome.
13 You had a wonderful life, because you were in my beautiful garden in Eden.
Your clothes were decorated with many kinds of very valuable stones—
ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl stones.
Those stones were set in gold mountings
which I prepared for you on the day that I created you.
14 I appointed you to be a strong angel to guard the people.
I placed you on my holy mountain,
and you walked among fiery stones.
15 You were completely good in all that you did
from the day that you were created,
until you started to do wicked things.
16 Then you became busy buying and selling things,
you started to act violently,
and you sinned.
So I disgraced you.

Because you loved beautiful things,
you did things that wise people do not do.
So I threw you to the ground,
and allowed other kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 By committing many sins
and by buying and selling things dishonestly,
you caused the places where people worshiped me to become unacceptable to me.

Your city will be burned completely;
the people who watching it will see
that only ashes will remained on the ground.
19 All the people who knew what your city was like previously
will be appalled.
Now your city will disappear,
and it will not exist anymore.'"
20 Then Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
21 "Son of man, turn toward the city of Sidon, and announce the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 Give the people of Sidon this message from Yahweh the Lord. Tell them:
'I am your enemy, you people of Sidon.
By what I do to you,
I will show you how great I am,
and you will know that it is Yahweh who punishes you and judges you with justice.

Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do.'
24 No longer will people who live near the people of Israel hurt them as painful briers and sharp thorns hurt people. And then the Israelites will know that I, Yahweh, have the power to do what I say that I will do."
25 And this is also what Yahweh the Lord says: " I will gather them from distant countries where I have scattered them. And the other people groups will see that I am set apart and honored, when the house of Israel makes their homes in the land I gave my servant Jacob!
26 My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby people groups that despised them, my people will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, who has done this."


Customs officers living above earnings will be sacked – CG
by Damilola IsmailNigeria Customs Service comptroller-general, Hameed Ali has warned that any officer who acquires wealth illegally will be sacked during the decorating some newly promoted officers of the service in Abuja on Friday.
The Customs service recently promoted 2,508 officers to various ranks and appointed three as members of its management.
Ali warned that for customs officers to remain in service, they must avoid living above their earnings as every officer could survive within the remuneration package of the service, if well managed.
“I will show the way out to any officer who thinks he can not survive with his remuneration but involve in illicit ways to acquire wealth,” he said.
“I know the service gives you enough that you can survive with, it is just a question of prudence.

There is only one routine on the client side.
| MPI_COMM_CONNECT(port_name, info, root, comm, newcomm) | |
| IN port_name | network address (string, used only on root) |
| IN info | implementation-dependent information (handle, used only on root) |
| IN root | rank in comm of root node (integer) |
| IN comm | intracommunicator over which call is collective (handle) |
| OUT newcomm | intercommunicator with server as remote group (handle) |
This routine establishes communication with a server specified by port_name. It is collective over the calling communicator and returns an intercommunicator in which the remote group participated in an MPI_COMM_ACCEPT.
If the named port does not exist (or has been closed), MPI_COMM_CONNECT raises an error of class MPI_ERR_PORT.
If the port exists, but does not have a pending MPI_COMM_ACCEPT, the connection attempt will eventually time out after an implementation-defined time, or succeed when the server calls MPI_COMM_ACCEPT. In the case of a time out, MPI_COMM_CONNECT raises an error of class MPI_ERR_PORT.
Advice
to implementors.
The time out period may be arbitrarily short or long. However, a high-quality
implementation will try to queue connection attempts so that a
server can handle simultaneous requests from several clients. A high-quality
implementation may also provide a mechanism, through the info
arguments to MPI_OPEN_PORT, MPI_COMM_ACCEPT, and/or
MPI_COMM_CONNECT, for the user to
control timeout and queuing behavior.
( End of advice to implementors.)
MPI provides no guarantee of fairness in servicing connection
attempts. That is, connection attempts are not necessarily satisfied
in the order they were initiated and competition from other
connection attempts may prevent a particular connection attempt
from being satisfied.
port_name is the address of the server. It must be the same as the name returned by MPI_OPEN_PORT on the server. Some freedom is allowed here. If there are equivalent forms of port_name, an implementation may accept them as well. For instance, if port_name is ( hostname:port), an implementation may accept ( ip_address:port) as well.

Background Only
In this section we are sliding the background at a different speed to the rest of the page.
As this text box is scrolling at the same speed as the page, and faster than the background, it creates this lovely parallax effect.
You can find all the HTML, CSS and the all important JavaScript files over at GitHub - so why don't you drop by for some hardcore forking action?
Backgrounds for this article were taken from the May/June 2011 Smashing Magazine Desktop backgrounds.

Scrolling Sprites
The next step in your parallax scrolling adventure is to create some sprites!
I have cut out one of the photos in this background and use it as a sprite. It scrolls at a different speed to the background and the window, and it's this effect that's used so well on Nike Better World and other parallax sites..
Using too many sprites can slow down older computers, and you need to use some clever maths (and trial & error!) to work out their placement on the page.

file.php
The simlest plugin to make use of is file.php. In robopages all content is supplied generated on a per block element basis, and all such content must come from a plugin.php class in the plugins directory.
For instance, an incoming URL such as ?page=Boats/Driftboats/Boat-building.htm would cause the base class robopages.php to read the default XML page definition file in the ../layouts directory. Each block level element in the XML is generated on the fly. for

the system system would search the fragments/Boats/Driftboats/ directory for a file fragment named footer.frag. If no such file is found the system would then search one more time in the boilerplate directory, looking for fragments/hidden/footer.frag. This two-part search allows the developer to make custom, per-page footers when needed, while falling back on repeated boilerplate contents more often than not.
Html file fragments are handy. But they aren't the only way to make content.

The line above, found in robo.xml, creates a division whose ID is 'breadcrumbs' and whose content comes from plugins/mkBreadcrumbs.php

JS9 supports a site configuration file that is read after the JavaScript variables are loaded but before JavaScript code is compiled and executed. This file allow you to tailor JS9 to meet the needs of your site without having to modify the js9.js file directly.
To support site configuration, load the JS9 json preference file file (referred to here as js9prefs-local.js, but it can be named anything, of course) into your web page before loading other JS9 javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js9prefs-local.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js9support.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js9.min.js"></script> ...
The following example shows the current js9prefs.js file:
var JS9Prefs = { "globalOpts": { "helperType": "nodejs", "helperPort": 2718, "helperCGI": "./cgi-bin/js9/js9Helper.cgi", "debug": 0, "loadProxy": true, "workDir": "./tmp", "workDirQuota": 100, "dataPath": "$HOME/Desktop:$HOME/data", "analysisPlugins": "./analysis-plugins", "analysisWrappers": "./analysis-wrappers" }, "imageOpts": { "colormap": "grey", "scale": "linear" } }
This preference file can be used to override the default parameter settings for JS9. A look through the beginning of JS9 code will show a number of Javascript objects containing these default parameters. They all have names ending in Opts, i.e. JS9.imageOpts, JS9.analysisOpts, etc. A description of some of these objects is given below:
JS9.globalOpts: this JavaScript object contains global information, including parameters concerned with the back-end services used by JS9. Many of the most useful JS9 configuration parameters are contained in this object, including mouse/touch/keyboard actions, click to focus, catalog properties, image/table default dimensions/binning, and a host of other properties.
JS9.imageOpts: This JavaScript object contains initial values for parameters associated with individual images, such as: contrast, bias, whether to invert the colormap, colormap, scale, WCS system , WCS units, whether to display value/position, and whether to list regions when they change (listonchange).
JS9.Regions.opts: This JavaScript object contains default values for individual regions, including the initial size of various regions, initial inner and outer radii for annuli, initial angle, etc. You can set or override properties for this object by adding them to the regionOpts object in the js9prefs.js file.
JS9.menuButtonOptsArr: this JavaScript array of objects allows you to change and re-arrange which menu options are provided. If you prefix the name of a menu option with '#', that option is disabled.
Module: a global JavaScript object with attributes that Emscripten-generated code calls at various points in its execution. You can set or override properties for this object by adding them to the emscriptenOpts object in the js9prefs.js file. One important case occurs when you have installed the astroemw.wasm binary file in a location other than the JS9 install directory. You would then use Emscripten's wasmBinaryFile property to specify a path to this file, relative to the JS9 install directory. For example, if the JS9 install directory and the resources directory are at the same level in the directory hierarchy:
var JS9Prefs = { "emscriptenOpts": { "wasmBinaryFile": "../resources/js/astroemw.wasm" }, # other preferences ... }See Emscripten's Module Object documentation for more information, and please let us know if you have problems.
When a property (e.g. scale) is added to one of the top-level objects in the JS9Prefs object (e.g. imageOpts), it generally replaces the existing value on the specified JS9 option. In the previous example, both the default colormap and default scale will be replaced by the values specified in the prefs file. Arrays and objects are also completely replaced. This, in this example, after specifying a new keyboardActions object, the entire keyboardActions object in JS9.globalOpts will be replaced by a new object containing two actions only:
var JS9Prefs = { "globalOpts": { "keyboardActions": { z: "zoom in", x: "zoom out", }, } }In this case, however, you probably wanted to merge the new keyboard actions into the existing actions object. To perform object merging instead of replacing, add the special config object:
var JS9Prefs = { "config": { "objects": "merge" }, "globalOpts": { "keyboardActions": { z: "zoom in", x: "zoom out", }, } }This will result in a deep (recursive) copy being performed to merge the two new keyboardActions properties with the existing properties.
Finally, note that the JS9 Node.js helper utilizes the js9Prefs.json file for configuration. Please ensure that the following shared properties defined in these two files are consistent with one another:

Ecosystem
ES6 Introduction - Modules (...)
ES6 now provides its own modules implementation, keeping in
mind the behavior of AMD and CommonJS. In other words, this implies:
-
An easy and understandable syntax
-
recognizable by tools ( such as IDE to get auto completion for example)
-
Adapted for web browsers (so downloaded asynchronously)
-
Cyclic dependencies detection
Modules will be everywhere with ES6 and so with Angular
export function add(...toAdd){
let sum= 0;
for (let i= 0; i< toAdd.length; i++){
sum+= toAdd[i];
}
}
export function multiply(...toMultiply){
let prod= 0;
for (let i= 0; i< toMultiply.length; i++){
prod *= toMultipy[i];
}
}
import {add, multiply} from 'es6module-math';
export function increment(val) {
return add(val, 1);
};
export function double(val){
return multiply(val, 2);
}


Impact Mapping
What is it?
Impact Mapping is an engaging, graphical, strategic planning technique. It was introduced by Gojko Adzic in 2012. At the end of the impact map, you should have:
- A shared understand of you project’s goal or problem statement
- An inventory of human behavioral changes that must occur (or not occur) for your project to be successful. These are the impact from which the technique gets it name
- Optionally, an inventory of project scope that could be delivered to achieve the aforementioned impacts
- Some sort of prioritization of scope and/or impacts
- A physical or digital diagram with the above information
Why use Impact Mapping?
- Most planning activities revolve around juggling a “shopping list of features,” as Gojko calls them. Even though the features are delivered, often the business objective is not achieved. Impact Mapping reorients us towards delivering value, not delivering features.
- Impact Mapping introduces a very simple human centered design process, and as such, it is a great way to put lightweight design thinking techniques into practice
- It’s a graphical mind map, which reduces the barrier to entry for participants and facilitators alike
- The technique is highly adaptable, because the core mind map is so simple. Gojko’s original text describes a ~4 week executive level strategic planning workshop. At Labs, we typical run a 4-6 hour session with Project Sponsors during a Discovery Session. These are just two of endless possible variations of the technique.
Related Practices
- Nothing for now. We’d love to know more if you have a suggestion
Who do you need?
- Facilitator
- Product Owner
- Project Sponsor, both technical and business
- Architects
Suggested Time
For the shortened variation Labs uses:
- 2-4 hours of prep to establish a goal or problem statement before the session. This is important, or your session will go sideways!
- optionally - 2 hours before the session to create an outline of the Impact Map based on your current understanding, as a way to introduce the subject to participants
- ~4 Hours to facilitate the session, not including breaks
- Facilitate in small sessions @ around 60-90 minutes each
- Session can be done on different days
For the executive level session format, see the Impact Mapping book1:
Difficulty
- Facilitator: Moderate
- Participants: Easy
Facilitation Materials Needed
Digital Variation:
- a mind mapping tool. we recommend coggle2
Physical Variation:
- a large whiteboard
- whiteboard markers
- sticky notes
- markers for stickies
Process Phase
When run strategically, at senior levels, Impact Mapping is a great way to run the “Define the Area to Focus Upon” phase of the Double Diamond design model3. When applied more tactically, Impact Mapping can used as a transition from the first diamond to the second, largely as a way to synthesize strategy work down to date in an easy to consume format.
