BMW consistently continues to pursue the brand’s current model offensive whilst developing an innovative vehicle concept for the premium compact segment. During the annual results press conference, BMW AG CEO Harald Krüger will announce the presentation of the first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. With the sporty and elegant four-door coupe, the premium automobile manufacturer is adding to its range in the compact segment a particularly designoriented model for modern, urban target groups. The concept of a four-door coupe, already successful in higher vehicle classes, will in future combine a dynamic charisma and an expressive design with a high degree of everyday suitability also in the premium compact segment. The first BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will make its word debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2019, with the worldwide market launch beginning in the spring of 2020.\nThe BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe sets new accents in individuality, aesthetics and emotion in the premium compact segment. It combines an emotive design with sportiness and the latest innovations in operation and connectivity technology. Therefore, the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe offers the ideal prerequisites to attract new target groups to hallmark BMW driving pleasure. BMW already offers a unique range of compact models for various different requirements and target groups that is unmatched within the competitive environment. The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe will once again create fresh impulses in this class. It builds on the latest BMW front-wheel drive architecture and shares a multitude of technological developments with the new BMW 1 Series, which will also be presented during the course of 2019.\nThe BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has been conceived as a global offering that constitutes an attractive enrichment, especially for markets in which car buyers show a strong affinity for notchbacks. As an exclusive alternative to the classic saloon, the four-door coupe addresses all target groups that prefer a sophisticated design and a self-assured look in the compact segment as well.\n|The fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and\nelectric power consumption figures were determined according to\nthe European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable.\nThe figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in\nGermany. The range shown considers the different sizes of the\nselected wheels/tyres and the selected items of optional\nequipment, and may vary during configuration.\nThe values are already based on the new WLTP test cycle and are translated back into NEDCequivalent values in order to ensure comparability between the vehicles. With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle-related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2 emissions, the CO2 values may differ from the values stated here (depending on national legislation).\nFurther information on official fuel consumption figures and specific CO2 emission values of new passenger cars is included in the following guideline: 'Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen' (Guide to the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be obtained free of charge from all dealerships, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The electronic ignition system in a gas furnace is a modern development that offers more reliable performance than a standing pilot and offers energy savings through improved furnace efficiency. There are two basic types of electronic ignition systems:\nAn intermittent pilot system uses an electronically controlled high voltage electrical spark to turn on a pilot light and subsequently the main burners when the thermostat requires heat.\nHot surface ignition\nA hot surface ignition system uses an electronically controlled resistance heating element, not unlike a lamp filament, to ignite the gas burner. If you are facing any kind of trouble regarding your furnace contact us at shortey’s Plumbing & Heating System. Our professional furnace repair technicians may help you. Understanding some of the basic components of a modern furnace will help you identify the type of furnace you have and narrow the list of possible problems. Here is a quick overview of the furnace designs and components found in high-efficiency furnaces using electronic ignition.\nTypes of Electronic Ignition Furnaces\nA high-efficiency condensing furnace uses a plastic tube for ventilation and combustion air.\nMost furnaces with electronic ignition are conventional or injection-induced furnaces or high-efficiency condensing furnaces.\nInduced draft furnaces use an intermittent pilot (IP) or hot surface ignition (HSI) instead of a standing pilot light. In addition, unlike a conventional furnace that creates a natural draft by drawing air out of an opening in front of the furnace, an induced draft furnace uses a small fan to drag the flue gases into the chimney. The combination of electronic ignition, electronic controls, and artificially created draft improves the efficiency of draft-induced furnaces over older conventional models. Condensing furnaces use two heat exchangers, where conventional furnaces use only one. After the gas is burned to heat the primary heat exchanger, the secondary heat exchanger draws heat from the hot exhaust gases, cooling them to the point where the water vapor in the exhaust condenses into water. The resulting flue gases are so cold that they can be expelled out through a plastic pipe (PVC), while the condensed water is directed to a drain in the floor. Condensing furnaces use hot surface ignition.\nTroubleshooting an intermittent pilot (IP)\nNormally found in induced draft furnaces, an intermittent pilot ignites the burner gas with a high voltage spark only when the thermostat calls for heat. Once the pilot is lit and the main burner detects the pilot flame (using a flame detection rod), the main burner ignites. The intermittent pilot flame goes out after the heating cycle and remains off until the next time the thermostat calls for heat.\nThe furnace gas valve for this type of furnace is identifiable with its solenoid designations: MV, PV, and PV / MV – where MV = main valve, PV = pilot valve, and PV / MV = common.\nCommon problems with IP ignition\nCommon problems with IP ignition include:\n- Ignition does not, and the furnace will not continue.\n- A spark is present, but the pilot does not light.\n- Pilot lights, but the main burner does not light.\n- Burners light up but turn off after a few seconds.", "label": "Yes"}

This is particularly so when a writing instrument is equipped with either a tubular writing point or a ball. In either case it is advantageous and indeed essential that the writing instrument be disposed and held at substantially right angles to the writing surface.\nIn order to facilitate the holding of the writing instrument at substantially vertical position, the user of the instrument should be able to hold it at that position with ease, that is at a position he usually holds a pen or pencil for ordinary writing.\nThe principal object of the present invention is the provision of a writing implement having a writing unit, and which implement is equipped with positional adjusting means for the holder or barrel for the Writing unit to facilitate setting the holder or barrel to the best suitable writing position normally assumed by individual writers in connection with specific writing procedures, and which implement is adapted for use either with or without the aid of guide means, such as lettering guides, templates and the like, and which positional adjusting means are specially adapted for maintaining the writing unit of the implement, while in use, at a substantially vertical position in respect to the writing surface to be used.\nAnother important object of the present invention is the provision of a writing device composed of a writing unit and a holder or barrel for same for use either with or without suitable guide means such as templates or the like and which device is simple in construction and inexpensive in its manufacture and which will allow positioning of the holder or barrel of the device so that the writing unit will always remain at the required position vertical to the writing surface, when the device is used in connection with such guide means.\nThe foregoing and other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more fully understood from the following description in connection with the accompanying drawing.\nThe latter illustrates an elevational view, partly in section, of the presently preferred embodiment of the device, comprising a vertically disposed writing instrument or writing unit and its holder or barrel disposed at an angle thereto.\nIn the drawing, numeral 1 denotes what is to be known as the writing nib of the device, from the lower end of which extends a writing point 2 in the form of either a tube, illustrated, or a ball, not shown. The lower body end of nib 1 is provided with an external thread 3 adapted to be engaged by the internal thread of a removable cap 4, indicated in broken lines, for protecting writing point 2. The upper end of nib 1 terminates in a tubular, cylindrical extension 5 adapted for receiving an exchangeable, ink-holding cartridge 6. Engaging external thread 3 of the nib body, above protective cap 4, is an internally threaded ring 7 from which extends a connecting element '8, which joins ring 7 with ball 9. This ball is adjustably held within a semi-spherical socket 11 provided with a guide slot 10 for receiving and guiding connecting element 8. The cylindrical portion of socket 11 is internally threaded and engages the externally threaded ball adjusting member 12, which latter forms an extension of a barrel connector 13. Ball adjusting member 12 is provided with a spherical recess 14 forming a seat for ball 9. The upper end of connector 13 is threaded externally for engaging internal thread 16 of barrel or holder 15.\nBy the cooperation between the external thread of connector 13 and the internal thread of socket 11, an adjustment can be made of the two elements so that the required pressure can be exerted by spherical recess 14 against ball 9 to arrest movement of the ball within socket 11, thereby holding nib l at any desired angular position in respect to barrel or holder 15, that is a position at which nib 1 assumes a vertical position to the writing surface, while the barrel 15 is tilted at an angle most convenient for the user.\nIt will be noted that just below cylindrical portion 5 of nib 1 there is provided an external thread 17 which is adapted to serve for connecting the internally threaded end of barrel 15 with the nib, so that the latter can be used for handwriting, that is without a lettering guide or template. Obviously, internal thread 16 of barrel 15 matches external thread '17 of the nib.\nWhile the positioning means between the nib and the barrel is shown and described as a ball, it is obvious that instead of a ball a cylindrical member can be used, in which case spherical recess 14 will become a cylindrical recess. Such modification being obvious, a drawing is omitted.\nHaving thus described the present invention, what is claimed as new is:\n1. In an adjustable writing implement for use either with or without the aid of guide means, such as ternplates, lettering guides, and the like, the combination with a writing unit, of a holder, such as a barrel, for the unit, means adjustably connecting the unit with the holder and means for maintaining the holder in adjusted position relative to said unit, said writing unit comprising a nib body having a hollow cylindrical portion at one, its upper end, for receiving a cartridge, a cartridge removably associated with said cylindrical portion, a first externally threaded portion adjacent to said hollow cylindrical portion and serving for optional engagement by a barrel, a second externally threaded portion provided on the nib body, a Writing point extending from the other, lower end of the nib body, an internally threaded ring engaging the second externally threaded portion of the nib body, a connecting element extending from said ring, a ball secured to said connecting element, an internally threaded socket removably secured to said holder, said socket having a spherical portion for receiving the ball, and a slot in the spherical socket portion for receiving and guiding said connecting element between said ring and said ball.\n2. In an adjustable writing implement as in claim 1, a barrel connector having thread formations at both ends, one of the thread formations adapted for engagement with the internal thread of said socket, a barrel having an internal thread, the other thread formation of said barrel connector engaging the internal thread of said 8,055,341 3 4 barrel, the internal thread of the barrel matching the first. hold said barrel at any adjusted position relative to the externally threaded portion of the nib located adjacent writing unit.\nto Said hollow .Cylindrical Pq q References Cited in the file of this patent 3.

{"text": "If you are a building contractor or in the excavation business, you may have a lot of excavation to do some days, including channels and trenches. In fact, in many parts of the country, trenches can easily collapse and destroy all the hard work you have done. This can present a dangerous situation if people work in trenches and a good trench box system is highly beneficial. Here are some reasons to invest in this equipment.\nKeeping Trenches Safe and Clear\nWhen you dig a large channel in the ground, you never know what can happen. For example, in clay ground, the channels stay intact, but they can collapse when the earth is wet or if you are using heavy equipment nearby. Sandy soil can easily collapse for no reason. A trench box is a steel or aluminum shield designed to fit inside trenches. This gives workers plenty of protection as they do their jobs.\nBenefits of Trench Shields\nThe most important benefit of trench or channel shields is ensuring worker safety. While they are inside the channel, they do not have to worry about soil collapsing. However, there are other reasons to consider this kind of equipment.\nWithout proper protection in place, workers may have to hurry to get done before problems develop. This can create shoddy work because people are more concerned about safety than doing a good job. With a sturdy trench box system, your workers can take the time they need to do things right, and most municipalities have specific regulations concerning trench work.\nYou could build trenches with lumber and other materials. However, it may take a great deal of time to build these shields, and when done, you must take them apart. It is easier to set a trench shield system in place with a crane or other equipment and then remove it when finished.\n3 people like this post.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Most people -- especially those living in the American Midwest -- know how to boost their chances of surviving a tornado. First, get into a basement or a storm cellar. If that's not possible, hide in an interior, windowless room, preferably under a mattress or blankets. Never stay in a car or a mobile home -- lying a ditch, while definitely uncomfortable in the middle of a severe storm, is a lot safer.\nSome people ignore this advice and become tornado chasers, but even chasers generally stay about a mile away from a tornado -- close enough to see, but relatively out of danger. Anyone wanting a closer look, or to actually get a glimpse of the interior of a tornado, would need a heavy, armored vehicle that could withstand intense winds, debris and hail.\nThat's exactly what IMAX cinematographer Sean Casey has built with his Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV). The TIV is big, heavy and armor plated. With it, Casey hopes to record a direct hit with a tornado and survive.\nRead on to learn more about the TIV's armor and instruments, as well as what happens when it encounters a tornado.\nThe TIV is essentially a large, mobile, armored tripod for an IMAX camera. Its purpose is to allow filmmakers to record footage from very close to -- or even inside of -- a tornado.\nThe TIV was originally a Ford F450 pickup truck. Its transformation into the TIV took three months of 7-day-a-week work. After stripping it down to its engine and chassis, Casey created a new frame and body out of steel, which uses:\n- 1/4\" steel plate floors\n- A skeleton of 1/4\" steel tubing and I-beams\n- 1/8\" steel plates welded to the skeleton\nTires need to be accessible, yet protected from debris, so a hinged 1/8\" steel flap covers each wheel well. Each of the four doors features a double layer of 1/8\" steel plate. When closed, the doors lock into place with heavy steel bolts.\nThe TIV's side windows are 1/2\" Lexan resin, a very strong plastic. For better visibility, its windshield is a scratch-resistant tempered glass and Lexan laminate.\nSince the TIV's purpose is to provide a safe spot for filming, it has a special military-style turret to house the IMAX camera. The turret spins 360° on 3\" steel bearings, allowing the crew to shoot footage in any direction. The TIV also has two hatches for smaller format cameras.\nIncluding its skeleton and frame, the TIV weighs almost 14,000 pounds. In spite of all this weight, it can reach up to 90 mph.\nIn the next section, we will look at the equipment inside the TIV.\nPortable Weather Station\nSince it can survive very high winds and hail, the TIV provides a good opportunity to collect tornado data. Inside the TIV are a variety of meteorological instruments, including:\nAnother weather research tool, the Doppler on Wheels (DOW), also uses the same instruments in addition to a mobile Doppler radar. The DOW, however, must stay between two and eight miles away from a tornado. Since the TIV houses the same instruments as the DOW, scientists can combine their data to create a more complete picture of the life of a tornado.\nNow, let's look at what happens when the TIV finds a tornado.\nChasing a Tornado\nWhat happens when the TIV chases a tornado? That depends on whether Casey and his team are working with other chasers or independently. The first step is always research. All storm chasers must determine where tornadoes are likely to form and which approach to the storm will give them the best view while keeping them out of the most dangerous parts of the storm.\nRecently, Casey has worked with Dr. Joshua Werman of the Center for Severe Weather Research (CSWR). The CSWR uses the DOWs and other equipment to study tornadoes. Members of the CSWR team analyze data about the storm and help decide where to deploy the TIV [ref]. When working with the CSWR, the TIV collects data up to the edge of the debris cloud, not into the tornado itself.\nHowever, Casey designed and built the TIV with the goal of getting footage of a tornado approaching and then hitting the IMAX camera. In order to do this, he positions the TIV in the path of a tornado in a low-lying area. Then, the team films the tornado from within the TIV turret. Casey designed the TIV to withstand 200 mph winds, which accounts for about 75 percent of the tornadoes that form in the United States. This, and careful attention to the progression of the storm, reduces the likelihood of damage or destruction.\nEventually, footage from the TIV's expeditions will appear in an IMAX film about tornadoes called \"Tornado Alley.\"\nFor more information about the TIV, tornadoes and tornado chasing, check out the links on the next page.\nRelated HowStuffWorks Articles\nMore Great Links\n- Berg, Phil. \"Casey vs. the Tornado.\" AutoWeek, July 18, 2005. http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=102748\n- Doppler on Wheels - Center for Severe Weather Research. http://www.cswr.org\n- \"Forces of Nature Interview: Director of Photography Sean Casey.\" BigMovieZone.com, September 30, 2004. http://www.bigmoviezone.com/articles/index.html?uniq=199\n- \"Funnel Vision.\" LA Times.

To do so, OUCO need to know the drive type-electric electro-hydraulic, or diesel hydraulic, whether a chain wheel and remote control are needed, preferences of classification society, and the rated loading, nominal speed, and holding loading.\nOUCO capstans have been applied to 14,000 kW oceans salvage tug, research mother ship for 10,000 deep ROV and ocean mooring testing platform, etc.\nMooring Equipment and Its Function\nAnchor Mooring Capstan is a Mooring Equipment dedicated to mooring vessels, designed for use on water transport vessels, steamships or supply vessels.\nThe mooring winch winds the cable, rope, wire or chain through the rotating winch drum. We can connect it to mooring points such as: unloading points, mooring bollards in docks and ports, buoys, etc.\nThe OUCO electric mooring capstan can rotate the winch drum while winding the rope, and the rope collection efficiency is higher.\n|Drum-load (kN)||Rate Speed (m/s)||Light Load Speed (m/s)||Dia. Of rope(mm)||MBL of Rope (kN)|\nCheck all equipment involved in mooring operations for problems. Such as mooring winches, drums, mooring lines, windlasses, chocks, rollers, and mooring pipes, Electric control box, etc. Routine maintenance and inspection can avoid equipment damage.\nCorrosion of shells, painted and fixed deck bolts\nDrums, controls and brakes for damage and corrosion\nWater tightness of the clutch\nOUCO has stringent checks and higher quality requirements for every capstan produced:\n- None load test, Working Load test, Brake test\n- Check voltage and current during operation and nominal speed\n- Oil pressure and temperature, whether leakage occurs\nIn addition, we carry out temperature tests and corrosion protection tests.\n- Wire and cable, whether there are rust and disconnection\n- Normal fiber optic cables, wear and corrosion\n- We should check synthetic fiber ropes for wear and thickness\nIn use, check the load of the mooring rope, keep the rope tension appropriate, not too tight or too loose, it can prevent the rope breaking.\nCheck the tail size and material of the mooring line for uniform loading.\nWhen you have completed the mooring operation, remember to check the load on the mooring line from time to time.\nIf the load conditions of the vessel change and it is necessary to keep the load within the normal range, loosen or tighten ropes to adjust.\nIn addition, the condition of the rope material is also important, such as the friction and changes in thickness, to avoid accidents.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "30th Dec 2002, 16:33\nI have a 1999 Ranger XLT 4x4 and I also had the wiper problem, but the Dealer fixed it. My truck also pinged like yours until I started using higher octane gasoline. The one problem I can't get rid of is that my serpentine belt squeals constantly. At 30,000 I had it replaced and now I'm at 43,000 and it is doing it again???\n5th Jun 2003, 13:28\nMy 1999 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab has cost me $1000 this year! My shocks went out (which was normal wear and tear (ish!) and I had to have new brakes. That part is okay, but... my windshield wipers also seem to have a nervous twitch, my engine knocks, and the oil between my tire rods has dried up and the only thing you can do is replace them completely, so my truck constantly sounds like it's falling apart! Now my biggest complaint, and my $1000, is that I had to have a new drive shaft installed and all new spider gears replaced in the rear end. This happened at around 56,000 miles (it had been happening for a while, but got so bad in a month's time that my mechanic told me to bring my truck in immediately). Now, at 61,000 miles my truck will not stay started unless I continually press the gas. I pulled out on a main road yesterday and the steering locked up then my truck died. It worked well for almost 4 years and now I'm getting so upside down on what I owe because of repairs, I have to take a huge loss or keep it forever. I have contacted Ford, but they said that there was no assistance available to me, Sorry!\n12th Jul 2004, 19:08\nMy 99 Ford Ranger had these same issues. Wipers would turn on by themselves, dealer recall cleaned up that issue. At sixty two thousand miles, my O2 sensor failed, I replaced (Easy). I also have a noise that sounds like the belt, mainly when it is wet outside. I don't think its the belt, maybe a noisy pulley. I have had the belt replaced twice, still same problem. At about a hundred thousand miles my speed sensor failed (Speed-o-meter didn't work, brakes locked up, ABS light was on, and Transmission wouldn't shift from first) very noticeable. I replaced the speed sensor for around $40.00. Mine was Magnetic and fit in the differential, not the kind that fits in Transmission (Mechanical). At about one thousand five hundred fifty miles, bad idle. AC Clutch keep kicking on and off. Engine started rough, and ran better once warm. I replaced the Intake Control Solenoid for $88.00 (I believe this was caused by cleaning the throttle body junk and carbon build up). So far so good. I still have the pinging noise though. I was told to use higher octane fuel. I tried that and it helped a little. I did have the throttle body cleaned at a local shop for about $40.00. It was a advertised throttle body cleaning at It runs with less ping than before. But still pings on occasion (around 55-75), not nearly as much though. I also switch back to low grade regular and ping is still much lighter, but is still there.\n25th Oct 2004, 15:48\nI have a 99 Ford Ranger 2.5L, my problem is that it shuts off when approaching a stop, what could it be?\n15th Dec 2007, 17:16\nBelt squealing is the idler pulley. I have replaced twice.\nPinging is because of high cylinder compression ratio in the 3.0 V-6. Use highest octane available. I run ethanol E85 which is over 100 octane. Even with super unleaded gas I get pinging (124,000 mile truck)\nIntermittent wipers is faulty switch arm. Replaced under 3/36 warranty.\n15th Nov 2008, 14:11\nI also have had problems with my 99 Ranger XLT 4x4 with 4.0L.\nBought it new in 99. It's never idled right since day one... idles at about 1200rpm...dealer said that's normal.\nHave had minor problems with radio, dash lights, front brakes.\nThen in 2007 had to replace a cracked head at 40k mile. Cost was about $2k when all was fixed. Head cracked in my 89 ranger too...coincidence? Either way -- I will never buy another Ford Vehicle.\n21st Oct 2010, 16:20\nHave a Mazda B3000 SE V6 flex fuel.\nHad the squeal problem; thought it was from replacing my alternator, then thought it was idler/tensioner pulley, so replaced those. Still did it. Ultimately I think it's the quality of the belt I used; a segmented v-belt Nascar brand before replacement, but couldn't find again. Napa Auto has a similar belt (had a look like = = = = = along length of belt to help reduce noise). Instead I went with Dayco, which suck! Anyway, didn't want to buy another belt, so I tried baby powder and it works great.\nAlso I do have the wiper problem as well, so thanks for info on that.\nOther than that, my truck has been pretty solid for 130k. I always put premium gas in.\nHad to replace the clutch twice, rebuild the differential, and replace drums/rotors.\nBut other than those, no other major repairs, and it still sounds great, and I drive hard!\nIf you want to make your truck sound good, get a Magnaflow muffler, and a K&N cold air intake system. You won't regret it. A $500 upgrade that makes a huge difference.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Building on our range of Carbon Fibre Flex Options, we are excited to introduce our next evolution in Flex Technology, ourCentraFlexV2 1.6mm Topdeck for the Mugen MTC2!\nImprovements made in our V2 Topdeck\nCustom designed 3.5mm diameter topdeck motor-mount screws (RCM-TMS). This increases the material in the topdeck over 6mm cutouts for bearings, making the flex characteristics of the topdeck more consistent and efficient,also strengthening the topdeck at the same time due to more material.\nMore subtle flex options are now available thanks to the reduction in pivot screw size.\nMore bridges at the front of the topdeck which can be cut depending on desired flex characteristics to suit your high or low traction track.\nThe topdeck has been able to be further narrowed around the pinion area without compromising strength to allow all pinion sizes and gear ratios to be catered for.\nCentrally distributed flex with several options to move flex point\nEasy overall flex tuning without requiring removal of topdeck to bulkhead mounting screws\nEasy removal of spur gear\nIncreased clearance to pinion gear enabling you to use all sizes and combinations without restriction\nDesigned and tested in several platforms with great success\nDesigned and manufactured in Australia\nA single sided topdeck design provides a brilliant option in moving our technology forward. Conventionally in Mid Motor setups, the front of the topdeck is entirely split, just like on the MTC2, in order to be able to slide the topdeck over the front belt. This provides a significant amount of flex to the front of the car only, creating quite an imbalance in the topdecks flex characteristics.\nThe CentraFlex has been developed to slide in from the side under the belts, and due to the single sided design, can be joined in front of the spur gear to prevent excessive front topdeck and bulkhead flex, bringing back the balance of front to rear flex provided by the topdeck. In doing this, we have significantly increased the clearance to Pinion Gear, making you now able to run any combination you can think of! This design also makes it very easy to change the spur gear.\nBy installing or removing the 3.5mm Topdeck Motormount Screws either side of the spur gear, we can change the flex point of the car instantly, either moving it forwards or backwards to adjust the balance of the car.\nAs well as this tuning option, we also have braces which can be cut on the topdeck to even further alter the flex characteristics, by changing the flex between the bulkheads, and also moving the flex closer to the bulkheads.\nThis provides a lot of option in not only adjusting the flex point of the car, but also the overall flex. Combined with the options provided under the chassis by the motor-mount, it can be a very powerful tuning option in getting the absolute most out of your car.\nThe best part - all of this translates on the track! All of our testing so far by ourselves and our team drivers has proven this topdeck design to be the pick of the bunch. It offers an incredibly smooth driving feeling, coupled with increased mid-exit corner and high speed steering over the original topdeck. It is very adaptable to all different kinds of tracks, with the inserting and removal of bearings, and also cutting braces making substantial differences in the feeling and balance of the car.\nInitially an asymmetrical design would have been thought not to provide symmetrical flex, but in fact the flex is incredibly balanced. To test the theory we even made a \"flippable\" topdeck and tried brace left and brace right configurations to see if we could feel the difference. It felt 100% identical with laptime reflecting this. That's how we knew that this was going to be the way forward!\nWe strongly believe this layout proves an advancement in the flex technology of Mid Motor cars and hope that you will have the same experience with your CentraFlex Topdeck for your MTC2!", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Original equipment chassis parts on late-model cars and trucks are supposedly engineered to go 150,000 miles or more. But is that 150,000 miles of highway driving on nice smooth roads or 150,000 miles of bumps, potholes and rough roads? The OEMs say it’s some of both. Nobody can predict exactly how long a chassis part will hold up in use because there are so many variables that affect the life of the part. Washboard roads that give the suspension a pounding, wet weather and exposure to road salt are obviously harder on steering and suspension components than smooth roads and a dry climate.\nWho makes the parts is also important. Some chassis parts suppliers have a better reputation for durability than others. It also depends on how robust the OEM wants the part to be.\nIn the real world, most chassis parts hold up pretty well in spite of all these factors. A lot of vehicles end up in the salvage yard with many of their original chassis parts still in place. That doesn’t mean these parts are not worn, because many of them are. It’s just that chassis parts are often overlooked.\nMore often than not, ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arms, control arm bushings, springs, shock and struts are not replaced unless they are in really bad condition or have failed completely, and that’s dangerous because the separation of a ball joint or tie rod end can have serious consequences. A ball joint that fails will allow the suspension to collapse. A tie rod end that pulls apart will cause a loss of steering control.\nOne of the first things an alignment technician does before he checks wheel alignment on a vehicle is inspect the chassis. He checks ball joint play, the tie rod ends, the idler arm (if equipped), the steering gear, control arm bushings, shocks, struts and springs to see if any of these parts need to be replaced. And if any problems are found, he’ll inform the customer that the parts must be replaced before he can proceed with the alignment. Otherwise, attempting to realign the wheels will be a complete waste of time and money.\nWhen electronic suspensions with air springs were first introduced 20 years ago on the Lincoln Continental and Mark VII, few people would have imagined that someday this new technology would create a booming business for servicing air ride suspensions. But it has and it’s a market that shows no signs of deflation anytime soon. Here’s why: Air springs and electronic ride controls provide a cushy, boulevard ride, but the ride doesn’t last forever. All air suspensions share a common vulnerability – air leaks. And when a system can no longer hold air, it goes flat.\nThe undercar environment is a harsh one that’s exposed to road splash, salt and debris. Rubber loses elasticity as it ages, becomes hard and eventually cracks. After seven to 10 years of service, many of these older systems start to develop leaks that allow air to escape from the system. The same thing can happen to plastic air lines. Wiring connectors, solenoids, compressors and height sensors are also vulnerable to corrosion and vibration, which, over time, may lead to failures that disrupt the normal operation of the air ride system. Now comes the good part (or the bad part if you’re the vehicle owner). When an air ride suspension system goes flat, it can be very expensive to fix. OEM parts may not even be available for some of the older applications. Reman OEM electronic air struts and compressors can provide a more cost-effective alternative for those who want to retain the full functionality of their air ride suspension.\nThe other option is to replace the original air springs and/or electronic struts or shocks with an aftermarket conversion kit that includes conventional coil steel springs with ordinary struts or shocks.\nAftermarket conversion kits for the older cars with air ride suspensions have become a hot item in recent years because the kits provide a repair solution for vehicles that might otherwise be too expensive to fix. For example, a set of four new OEM air struts and a compressor for a 10-year-old 1994 Lincoln Continental retail for around $3,500. Add in the installation labor, and it adds up to a lot of money to spend on a car that is worth roughly $2,500. The same car could be converted to a regular coil spring suspension for around $500 to $600 in parts, and it would probably be a lifetime repair (no future air leaks, compressor failures or electronic glitches to worry about.)\nOn a Lexus, the numbers are even higher. The OEM air struts list for $1,100 per wheel. If the compressor also needs to be replaced, the parts bill alone is around $5,800. By comparison, a conversion kit for this vehicle typically sells for less than $800 and includes struts for all four wheels.\nVehicles that are equipped with air ride suspensions include older Jaguar models, Land Rover, Range Rover, Lexus and Mazda MPVs, (as well as domestic models including Lincoln Continental, Town Car, Mark VII and VIII, Ford Crown Vic, Mercury Grand Marquis, full-size Chevy, Buick and Oldsmobiles, Cadillac Deville, Seville and Eldorado, various Chrysler models, Dodge Dynasty, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedition and Ford F250 pickups).\nThough most steering, suspension and ride control parts are sold after an original part has worn out or failed, you don’t always have to wait for a failure to recommend their replacement. There’s a growing market for chassis upgrades, especially in the sport compact car segment. Coil-over conversion kits for lowering Hondas and other tuner import cars have become a popular bolt-on upgrade for street performance. So, too, are high-pressure adjustable gas monotube shocks, oversized sway bars and stiffer bushings. Complete performance suspension packages with lowered springs and matched shocks or struts are often the best way to upgrade a vehicle. There’s also a strong market for suspension upgrades with SUV and truck owners. Variable-rate springs, overload springs, helper springs and air springs are all add-on items that can provide the extra stiffness needed to handle oversized loads.\nFor those who seek adventure off-roading, there are lift kits, multi-shock kits, air lift kits and beefed-up chassis parts to improve both ground clearance and durability.\nWaiting for a customer to wander into your shop and ask for such products is not the best way to market suspension upgrade products. Having a display of such items not only makes customers aware of the products, but encourages them to ask questions, which often leads to sales.\nThe same goes for ordinary steering and suspension components. One shop we visited recently had a simple pegboard display of badly worn and broken ball joints, tie rod ends, and a couple of photos of a rolled SUV and a car that had hit a guardrail because a tie rod end broke. A sign on the pegboard read, “Don’t let this happen to you! Replace worn chassis parts now!”\nThis might be a bit dramatic, but it’s effective. It makes people think about the possible consequences of postponing needed chassis repairs.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "This was a pilot project for Shell, the first modular Carwash to be built in Canada (Lloydminster). The carwash was supplied by Genesis Modular Carwash Building Systems, based in Norcross, Georgia. We had teams from BC, Alberta and Georgia (US) all coming together to deliver this quality product. We faced many challenges from transporting these fully complete units from Georgia, to navigating through the importation process. We had tight site access which caused us to use a mammoth 500 tonne crane which dwarves anyone standing next to it. The carwash install was conducted safely and all parties were extremely happy to see it landed. The carwash is now up and running I want to thank everyone that was involved in this project as it takes a lot of time and effort to turn an idea into reality.\nAfter our successful Fairview RUST project, we were approached by AECOM Canada to build the FIRST EVER modular carwash in Canada for Shell.\nWe are extremely proud and excited to have been awarded this pilot project.\nWe understand that opportunities such as this don’t happen often.\nOne of the deciding factors in awarding this project to Parke Pacific was our exemplary safety culture and our ability to go above and beyond when it comes to the safety of everyone onsite.\nProving to everyone involved that safety can be profitable!", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Introduction: Floppy Disk Dock\nA dock made from old 3.5 floppy disks. This dock could be used for anything that you need a dock for. (iPod, iPhone, Zune...)\nStep 1: Step 1\nOk so you need 6 floppy disks that you will never miss. (this means if you have files on their you want, get them off, in my case I do not even have a floppy drive any more, and i think these disks are all like 10 years old)\nOne disk is an extra incase one breaks while cutting.\nTwo two of the disks, make a notch that is halfway down the width of the disk and halfway into the length of the disk. Also make sure one long side of each of these two disks has a hold in it. (i found my drill press worked nice for that)\nOne disk will have to be shortened up a bit.\nOne disk will need holes in each corner.\nOne disk is good as is.\nStep 2: Step 2\nJoin the two disks with notches together in a way that you form the letter X. Make sure that the top side of the X has 4 holes all together (see pic).\nEpoxy the two disks together.\nStep 3: Step 3\nTo the disk with four holes, remove the actual floppy part of the floppy disk. Using what ever means you like make a hole in the center for your sync cable. Please note, I did destroy a perfectly good sync cable while making this. It was an extra so no loss for me, but keep that in mind while doing this.\nSet the disk with the now five holes on top. Zip ties the four corners in place. The zip ties will be temporary until everything is epoxified together.\nEpoxy the legs to the top.\nStep 4: Step 4\nIt helps to let the epoxy from the previous step dry before doing this one.\nWhat ever side you want to be the back, stand your X with hat upright with that side facing down.\nEpoxy the shortened disk to the back (this should be about 90 degrees, does not have to be perfect)\nStep 5: Step 5\nAfter taking a break to let step 4 dry you are now ready to add the final untouched disk.\nSet the disk so it rests against the disk added in step 4 and is sloping to the sync connector. See the picture.\nAlmost forgot, epoxy it together then.\nStep 6: Final Step\nOk all you need to do now is position the sync connector to where you want it and epoxy that in place.\nLet it all dry at least over night and then snip off the zip ties (or not if you like them).\nPlug the other end of the cable into your computer, set device in and enjoy!\nParticipated in the\nThe Instructables Book Contest", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "How do you get your car repaired?\nDefects or minor failures occur in every car, and this is due to its operation. It would seem that the older the car, the more trouble, however, and the latest models can sometimes give bone its owner. In such a situation, there is nothing else to look for a mechanic who not only repair the vehicle, but the occasion does not demand for the service a lot of money. The cost will depend on how large the scope of work will need to be carried out and whether it is necessary to buy spare parts. Surely every driver wants to give up your car in the best possible hands, so it is worth looking mechanics guided by the opinion of customers who have already benefited from its services and are happy with the result.\nEntrust family auto skilled in the art\nThe family car should be, above all, big and safe. Therefore, deciding to buy a car, which will serve all members of the household, usually choose the model that easily accommodates childish seats, and the luggage trolley and of course complex. No less important is the issue of security. But often we forget that a lot depends on us - not only when it comes to careful driving, but also in terms of servicing the car. Faulty brakes may yet lead to a real tragedy, like eg. Oil leak, which is a threat also for other road users. To avoid dangerous situations, it is therefore necessary regular servicing cars - after all, safety is paramount.\nAuto Workshop - how to choose the building?\nOwn car repair shop is the biggest dream of many mechanics. But before we start to run their own business, conical is to find a suitable location, and - a building that will provide comfortable working conditions. Ideally, you will find in it both the canal and on the lift. In addition, we find such an object, which will include space for storage of spare parts, and of course the social room. You should also remember the special containers for screws and plates on the wall where suspend wrenches and other tools - this will facilitate the maintenance of order. A good solution is a building next to which there is a place for parking cars repaired.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Driving Line and Nitto Tire invited us out for a private track day with just four cars for a pair of head-to-head races. In my case, it’s the 190E Cosworth versus my E30 M3, competing for best time on the big track at WSIR. I’m happy to say, I ran a 1:35.31 at Willow Springs, surpassing my expectations. Running that time didn’t come without some pitfalls, though.\nI’ve been itching to replace the 25-year-old coilovers on the M3 with something modern and… not blown. My friends at H&R built a complete custom setup for the M3, and I wanted to take the opportunity to put together the ultimate how-to for assembly and disassembly.\nThe process is the same for any classic BMW.\nThe new H&R coilovers include camber plates, adjustable dampers, and aluminum RSMs, just to name a few details. The installation was as easy as could be, too.\nBorn and raised amongst cars thanks to an uncle with a penchant for Datsun 510s, mini-trucks, and classics all around, it comes as no surprise that Sergio Vega’s story isn’t all too different from those that raised him. Now, at 29 years old, he finds himself settled in Long Beach, California, using the breadth of his talents to churn out incredible work as both a photographer and designer.\n“Dude, it’s fine,” he’ll say with a shit-eating grin, every single time. There’s something about the way Geoff Tumang seems to conduct his affairs with the world around him, seemingly lacking an ability to not flirt with the limit, wherever that limit may be. From track days to off roading, and from nights spent wrenching to nights out drinking, Geoff’s approach to anything and everything is no-holds-barred, consequences be damned.\nRust. It’s something nearly all of us inevitably deal with during the course of our automotive hobby or career. Known as “cancer,” and rightly so, it’s a deathblow seemingly any car in which it goes unchecked. While it is, in the most technical sense, almost always fixable, cost versus reward is rarely a fair tradeoff. It’s a familiar story for Sabrina Uriostegui and her introduction to BMWs: a 1998 BMW E36 M3 “slicktop.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "It is always a privilege to work with development partners that have a grand vision for creating unique public spaces. In 2005, the Woodlands Development Company invited Aquatic Design & Engineering (ADE) to join the team designing the central gathering place for their 28,000-acre master planned community, The Woodlands, outside of Houston, Texas.\nAlready, The Woodlands had a distinctive flair in the form of a canal that runs through the community; water taxi boats transport guests around the main Town Center and its Waterway Square, which feature shopping, dining, and office space. To make this a true gathering place, the team planned for a large water feature that would engage the multiple levels of the square that lead down to the canal.\nThe end result was a 180-foot long water wall that features sequenced panels of water falling 12 feet and vertical cascade type jets all illuminated with RBG LED lighting. At each end of the water wall feature is a series of cascading fountains along a stairway that brings the guests from street level down to canal level. The long water wall is capped with an elliptical shaped show fountain with a vast array of sequenced nozzles and lighting all choreographed to music, shooting water as high as 75 feet. This fountain at The Woodlands Waterway Square has served as the backdrop for many community events—from concerts and parades to fireworks displays.\nIn addition to the main fountain, ADE worked together with a sculptural artist to create a showpiece interactive water feature called “Treasures from Grandma’s Purse.” With a cast bronze, life-size purse permanently affixed to the bench of the feature, the objects from inside a well-prepared grandmother’s bag have tumbled out to decorate the floor of the feature. Children can splash and play around the nozzles, and delight in its treasures such as lollipops, toy cars, dominoes, pennies, crayons and more. The feature includes colored LED lights for warm summer nights when kids want to keep playing long after sunset.\nPairing a truly world-class choreographed show fountain with a whimsical, artistically-designed interactive water feature makes this a favorite project of ours from recent years, and we were proud to be a part of the project team to bring our client’s vision to reality.\nFor more on The Woodlands Waterway Square Fountains, visit our project page.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "This stunning wooden speed boat (named “Smokey Jo”) was originally built in 1964 as a Tremlett Sportsman 21. In the early 2000’s she was fully restored by a well known off-shore powerboat racer who competed against a number of Tremlett’s throughout his career. Two years of work went into creating this high-performance craft – The end result, a 7.4l Chevy V8-powered Mahogany speed boat capable of reaching 75mph.\nShe really is a masterpiece of engineering!\nSmokey Jo was stripped completely bare, fitting new engine bearers, strengthening the transom, fitting twin fuel tanks, a new bulkhead and a new deck. Hours was spent on stability graphs and load placement to ensure that handling would remain faithful to the original. The big-block Chevy engine was fitted with a lightened and balanced crank, forged pistons, roller lifters and Crane race cams. Mastertrim were commissioned to design and fit the navy blue and white upholstery that you see in her today.\nShe is unlike any other boat you will see on the water!\nThis boat sits on a twin-axle road trailer and she is fitted with a number of options, including a compass and chart plotter.

{"text": "The Super Soco CPx, V-moto’s first maxi-scooter, is now available in Canada through Motorino dealers. With prices starting at CAD 6,900, it’s quite expensive, but Motorino says that the negligible maintenance cost and cheap charging cost justifies the premium pricing.\nDesign & Features\nBeing a maxi-scooter, comfort is the Super Soco CPx’s main attraction. It offers large, extra thick padded seats for two riders, 16-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels, and a large windscreen. Dual LED headlight, a rear rack with a load capacity of 30 lbs, a monochrome LCD instrument cluster, 180 mm front disc brake, keyless start, electronic wheel locking, and built-in alarm are also among the electric scooter’s main features.\nThe Super Soco CPx uses a rear hub motor attached to a single arm that makes changing the rear tire easy. Motorino says that a trained mechanic would take only about five seconds to change the rear tire. The motor generates 4.8 kW or 5.4 hp of peak power and provides a top speed of 90 km/h. There’s also an LSM (Limited Speed Motorcycles) version that maxes out at 70 km/h.\nMotorino offers the Super Soco CPx with two battery options: single battery and dual battery. The former has one 2.7 kWh battery, and the latter has two of the same, meaning a total energy content of 5.4 kWh. The maximum possible range is 150 km. The batteries are removable, and so customers can charge them individually. Charging, depending on their discharge level, takes between three and four hours.\nThe Super Soco CPx single-battery’s prices start at CAD 6,900, while the Super Soco CPx dual-battery costs CAD 8,700. Depending on the province, customers get a rebate of anywhere between CAD 500 and CAD 2,000 on the electric scooter.\nFeatured Image Source: Super Soco", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Views: 82 Author: Site Editor Publish Time: 2021-11-26 Origin: Site\nHow to choose a filling machine that suits you?\n1.The principle of serving from the production process.\nThe appropriate filling machine should be selected according to the nature of the filling material (viscosity, foaming, volatility, gas content, etc.) to meet the requirements of the production process. For example, for liquor with strong aroma, in order to avoid loss of volatile aromatic substances, a cup-filling or atmospheric filling machine should generally be used; for juice materials, in order to reduce contact with air and ensure product quality, generally should be used Vacuum juice filling machine. The production capacity of the filling machine should be matched with the production capacity of the processing and packaging machinery before and after the procedure.\n2. The principle of wide process range.\nThe technological scope of the filling machine refers to its ability to adapt to different production requirements. The wider the process range, the more the utilization rate of the equipment can be improved, and one machine can be used for multiple purposes, that is, the same equipment can be used to fill a variety of materials and specifications. Therefore, in order to meet the production requirements of multiple varieties and specifications in the wine and beverage industries, a filling machine with the widest possible process range should be selected.\n3. The principle of high productivity and good product quality.\nThe productivity of the filling machine directly reflects the production capacity of the production line. Therefore, the higher the productivity, the better the economic benefits it produces. In order to improve product quality, a filling machine with high equipment precision and high degree of automation should be selected. However, the selling price of the equipment has also increased correspondingly, which has increased the unit cost of the product. Therefore, when selecting a filling machine, the relevant factors should be considered comprehensively in combination with the requirements of the production process.\n4. Comply with the principles of food hygiene.\nDue to the special hygiene requirements of the wine and beverage industries. Therefore, the components of the selected filling machine that directly contact the material in structure should be easy to assemble, disassemble and clean, and no dead corners are allowed. And there must be reliable sealing measures to prevent the mixing of sundries and the loss of materials. In terms of materials, stainless steel or non-toxic materials should be used as much as possible for the parts that directly contact the materials.\n5. The principle of safe use and convenient maintenance.\nThe operation and adjustment of the filling machine should be convenient and labor-saving, safe and reliable to use. And its structure should be easy to disassemble and assemble the combined parts.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "EP-120B Flat Die Pellet Machine\nThe pellet machines are used to make food for animals such as cattle, goats, chicken, rabbits and pigs. Feed pellets are more digestible than common fodder. During the making process, friction between the material and the mould will cause heat that can kill bacteria in the material. The finished feed pellets have good flavor. Besides, it is convenient to transport and store granular feeds.\nThere are a lot of raw materials can be used to make feed pellets, including rice husk, alfalfa, grass and various crop stalks etc.\nStructure & Principle\nElectric control cabinet : The safety electric control system in the cabinet is totally approved by CE standard; Emergency stop button can be used for emergency operation;\nGear box : It is made of superior steel. It won’t make much noise when it works. It has good shock absorption function. Compared with traditional belt-driving device, it is more efficient;\nMould and rollers : those are made of high-quality alloy steel, whose hardness is up to 55-60HRC.\nThe mould-driven feed pellet machine is driven by a motor.

It’s really important to take your car for regular services, for both the smooth running of your vehicle and to make matters straightforward when you sell it on.

{"text": "LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In line with what the company calls a commitment to maximizing customer value, Mack Trucks Thursday introduced at the Mid-America Trucking Show two new offerings that Mack officials said build upon the company’s “longstanding leadership in integrated products” — the Mack Super Econodyne powertrain and Mack Pedigree Uptime Protection service and support package.\nThe announcement came during a news conference at the Mid-America Trucking Show under way here.\nIntegrated powertrains have been at the heart of Mack since its inception in 1900, according to John Walsh, vice president of marketing.\nToday, every truck with a Mack Pedigree Powertrain – proprietary engine, transmission and axles – features a gold Bulldog on the hood. The new Mack Super Econodyne capitalizes upon the company’s legendary Pedigree Powertrain expertise to provide customers with a 3.5 percent improvement in fuel economy, Walsh said.\nWANTING TO FIND A NEW JOB? GOTRUCKERS.COM OFFERS HUNDREDS OF POSSIBILITIES. CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The new Mack Pedigree Uptime Protection is an integrated package of aftermarket solutions ensuring customer satisfaction throughout the service, parts purchasing and asset protection experience.\n“Mack recognized more than 112 years ago that components designed to work together\nprovide superior performance,” Walsh said. “The new Super Econodyne powertrain package we’re rolling out here at MATS is a perfect example of what we can accomplish with a Mack Pedigree Powertrain. With Pedigree Uptime Protection, we’re extending the concept of integration beyond the product – integrating the entire truck ownership experience to deliver a total business solution that keeps our customers out in front of their competition.”\nThe Super Econodyne powertrain system is designed with all-Mack proprietary components for a complete MACK Pedigree Powertrain, Walsh said. The Mack MP8-445SE engine, Mack mDrive automated manual transmission, Mack C125 proprietary drive axles and Mack’s custom software all combine to offer a system designed for industry-leading fuel efficiency without compromising power or performance, Walsh said, noting that the result was up to 3.5 percent better fuel efficiency compared to other similarly spec’d vehicles.\nIdeal for dry van, refrigerated, liquid and dry bulk haul, and flatbed operations, Super Econodyne is available on all Mack Pinnacle models, a Class 8 commercial vehicle.\nWith the addition of Super Econodyne, rated up to 88,000 pounds GCWR, the aerodynamic Pinnacle offers even greater operating benefits while maintaining driver satisfaction, Walsh said.\nContributing to the fuel-efficiency improvement is the Super Econodyne’s “down speed” feature. Super Econodyne is engineered to “down speed” more than 200 rpm at a highway speed of 65 mph, cruising at 1160 rpm versus 1380 rpm. This reduces fuel consumption by up to 2 percent compared with previous engine models, with a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions. The Mack proprietary C125 drive axles deliver an additional 1.5 percent fuel economy improvement, both according to David McKenna, Mack director of powertrain sales.\n“Super Econodyne builds upon our roots,” McKenna said. “Mack pioneered the low-speed Econodyne engines in the 1960s. Historically, we’ve insisted on gearing fast, running slow. Now, we’ve designed a completely integrated\nsystem to run efficiently at 450 rpm above idle speed when before it was 700 to 800 rpm above idle speed.”\nThe Mack MP8-445SE offers 445 hp and up to 1,760 lb-ft of torque. The C125 axles have a 2.66:1 ratio. All powertrain components communicate with each other via Mack software.\n“It’s the ultimate in complete powertrain integration,” McKenna said. “The engine seamlessly communicates with the transmission, which seamlessly communicates with the vehicle, resulting in instantaneous decisions. Add the Mack C125 drive axle, and we’re talking about fuel-efficiency benefits never before realized in a powertrain system.”\nKey to the fuel efficiency delivered with the Super Econodyne powertrain package is the\nMack mDrive transmission, McKenna said.\nThe 12-speed automated manual has no clutch pedal, and the gearshift is operated by an intelligent shift pad module and managed by sophisticated electronics.\nMcKenna said the mDrive continuously monitors changes in grade (both up and down), vehicle speed, throttle position, acceleration, torque demand and combined vehicle weight. The mDRIVE transmission features Mack’s two-speed reverse functionality that better controls road speed and engine speed.\nAlso launched Thursday, Pedigree Uptime Protection is an integrated package of aftermarket solutions with three components: Bulldog Service Management, Bulldog Parts Purchasing and Bulldog Asset Protection.\nBulldog Service Management is powered by MVASIST and includes Mack OneCall. MVASIST allows customers to improve communications, manage costs, reduce downtime and increase operating efficiency. Through an online portal, customers are able to communicate with the dealer, initiate repairs, access a complete service history, approve and monitor repair status and manage repair expenses. Recently, the company announced that\nMVASIST comes free-of-charge on any new Mack truck delivered after Jan. 1, 2012.\nMack OneCall is a full-service support center that manages breakdown assistance, towing services,\ntechnical support and real-time online case tracking.\nBulldog Parts Purchasing enables 24/7 parts purchasing online and offers online access to purchase and invoice history. Bulldog Asset Protection includes purchased coverage and provides preventive maintenance programs performed at any Mack dealer in the U.S. as well as inspections based on CSA guidelines.\n“We listened to what our customers said they needed from an aftermarket perspective, and we developed an integrated all-encompassing solution tailored to their needs,” said Dave Albert, Mack director of aftermarket solutions. “Customers said they wanted a solution that would improve communication with dealers and service technicians. They said they wanted to get back on the road faster and to have the ability to order parts around-the-clock. Pedigree Uptime Protection offers all of those benefits and more.”\n“The combination of our Super Econodyne Pedigree Powertrain and Pedigree Uptime Protection package establishes a new industry standard in total business solutions,” Walsh said. “It really comes down to having the customer’s back – delivering on the Mack promise of durability, reliability and application excellence throughout the truck ownership experience.”", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "One of my favorite intellectual pastimes is taking existing technology and projecting what types of cool new devices could come down the pike as a result of it. One of the centerpieces of this hobby is the 3D printer, a device with the capacity to turn a virtual model of just about anything into a real-world product. In my opinion, the applications for this type of device are endless, opening up a whole world of items that can be customized to a single person’s specifications.\nOne idea I had about a year ago, the production of custom-fitted earbuds based on the scan of an individual’s ear, has recently hit Kickstarter, one of the premier ways for private individuals and small companies to secure funding from private parties.\nDubbed Ownphones, these devices are produced by taking a scanned image of the recipient’s ears and then plugging the measurements into a 3d printer for production. Given that they have already exceeded their original goal of $250,000 of funding, I am obviously not the only person who sees the promises of this type of device.\nThe Ownphone is set to come in four different flavors. The first, named simply Fit, is an extremely basic model, providing a custom fit in a number of different, available colors. Next model up on the food chain is the Designer Fit, which includes not only a wide assortment of colors to choose from, but also unique and interesting designs. Given that the inventor of Ownphones, Itamar Jobani, is an artist by trade, expect some cool designs once they hit the market.\nNext type is the Smart Fit, and is in my opinion the coolest type by far. With the Smart Fit, you are projected to be able to filter sounds using the associated app. For example, you want to hear the doorbell, but not the lawnmower? No problem! Simply allow the app to identify the sound you want excluded and the earbuds will tune it out.\nThe final type is simply (and appropriately) named Jewelry. This type would turn the earbuds into veritable works of art, allowing your bling to reach new heights of excellence. If you want style while you listen to your tunes, this is the type to get.\nWhile the idea of custom-fitted earbuds is not a new one, this is the first example using 3D printing technology. With Ownphones, you can finally find a pair of earbuds that fit your ear perfectly, thus bypassing the annoyances that can come from discomfort or even loss.\nWhat do you think of these Ownphones?

{"text": "Huisman introduces revolutionary Fiber Rope System for Ultra Deepwater Applications\nHuisman, the worldwide provider of step changing technical solutions recently developed a revolutionary system for the application of fiber rope in subsea deployment crane applications. The system includes a Hybrid Fiber Rope System which combines the advantages of fiber rope with subsea deployment, while the heave compensation is done with traditional steel wire rope systems.\nCees van Veluw, Huisman’s Product Manager Cranes says: “We strongly believe in the future of cranes with fiber rope included – not just because of a CAPEX and OPEX evaluation, but also to further shift the limit of what can be deployed in subsea applications. Our extensive R&D programme, which has been active for over 10 years, has shown that the fiber rope with the best lifetime performance would require some serious active cooling of the fiber rope on the crane when performing Active Heave Compensation. However, the actual thermal behaviour of fiber ropes in AHC have proven to be unreliable to predict and hard to measure. On top of that, having the active cooling system of the fiber rope as an essential part of the crane’s safety system is not the way we see robust and reliable crane design.”\nProper spooling of the sensitive fiber rope is done by Huisman’s well-known Traction Winch and Storage Winch setup, while Active Heave Compensation is done with a steel wire rope on a direct winch. The system is available in various capacities. For traditional knuckle boom cranes, a 120mt and 200mt version is available, while the recently introduced Hybrid Boom Crane can be delivered with larger capacities of 400mt and 600mt. This can provide a significant step change in subsea deployment capabilities, as the full load is available at all depths. This way deployment up to 600mt is now possible at depths of 4,000m and beyond.\nHuisman will be presenting its revolutionary innovation at the 2017 International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Posted Date : 11 Jan, 2023 | 10:59 AM\nButtweld fittings are highly recommended for use in piping systems as they offer a number of advantages over other types of pipe fittings. They are strong, durable, and provide an excellent seal against leaks. Additionally, buttweld fittings can be used to join pipes made from different materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel without any additional welding or fabrication work required.\nThe strength of the buttweld fitting comes from its design which involves two pieces being welded together along their edges at a 90-degree angle to form one solid joint that is stronger than either piece individually. This creates an extremely secure connection between the two pieces that is able to withstand high pressures while maintaining its integrity even when exposed to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments like those found in chemical plants and refineries.\nAnother benefit offered by buttwelding is that it requires no special tools or skills beyond basic welding knowledge making them easier for non-professionals with limited experience working with metal pipes to install correctly compared with more complex methods such as threading connections which require specialized equipment and know-how in order for them not only be installed properly but also securely tightened down so they don’t come loose under pressure .\nThe ease of installation combined with their superior strength makes Butt weld Fittings ideal for almost any application where reliable joints need forming quickly without compromising on quality . From large industrial projects involving miles upon miles pipelines running through factories , residential plumbing jobs needing small sections connected up tight spaces right through commercial applications like water treatment facilities ; Butt Weld Fittings have become go -to solution thanks due largely due how simple yet effective this type joining method has proven itself time again across many industries all around world .\nButtweld Fitting in Dubai is a reliable and efficient way to join pipes without the need for welding.

{"text": "Due to continuous development work, the SOFT dough divider meets all requirements of a modern bakery. The main advantage is in the unique und effident dividing process: it is not spring controlled, but by an oil-pressure unit, which adapts to the dough consistency und minimizes the stress to the product. The result: dough with long fermentation times und a high water percentage of up to 80 percent can be processed with the SOFT easily. And that with an hourly capacity between 1.200 and 3.000 and a weight range of 50 to 2.000 grams! And when work is (nearly) done, you can look forward to an extremely short cleaning time of two to three minutes. lt makes work look like fun! And with regard to the life span, hygiene und reliability you must be pleased to know that the frame, the housing und carrying parts are made of stainless steel it is really heavyduty und it provides a very gentle dough handling.\nThe ALLROUND conical dough rounder lives up to its name: it can be used for all kinds of bread – from wheat to rye. Everything will become perfectly round. With the different individual adjustments the ALLROUND will fully adapt to the characteristics of your dough. You can adjust the speed of the cone as well as the air supply (warm/cold). The cone can also be oiled to avoid sticking of the dough. The adjustable oil injection system regulates the exactly required amount of oil spraying on the cone. So, oil accumulation and the tearing of the dough pieces are therefore a thing of the past. So you see, the ALLROUND conical dough rounder is truly all-round.\nThe TIMER proofer offers you the technical possibilities that are required from a modern bread proofer. For instance, it will adapt to your bakery individually and it will last a lifetime. The robust, stainless steel frame, the stainless steel dough carriers and the washable interchangeable pockets make the TIMER a candidate for a marathon with all its durability. The feeding can be switched to timed or continuous mode. It can be cleaned fast: simply remove the covering and drawers! Operation is also strongly simplified, as the proofer has a swivelling control unit. Additional benefits are the freely adjustable fermentation times, interior lighting, bactericidal fluorescent blue light tubes and heating. Everything custom-made Unfortunately, we must let you down in one respect: you will not buy a TIMER off the shelf from us: the TIMER will be delivered custom-made. So that it will precisely fit into your bakery. Not so bad after all...\nThe Long Roller COMBI handles the dough very gentle. Therefore it will be suitable for a great variety of goods from 200 up to 1,500 grams. All accessores are available as modules, on delivery or as upgrade later. This way you can easily and inexpensively expand your product range any time.\nAll kinds of long dough pieces can be rolled, seamless or with a seam. That is made possible by the modular construction: band width (400 mm or 600 mm), moulding options (impact board and/or reversible running belt), extra long moulding (second mouldung station), flour duster, centering and curling net module - exactly as your product needs to be rolled with the smallest possible footprint.\nFor short, long rolled dough pieces an upper outfeed exists, for longer dough pieces like baguette a lower outfeed is used.\nThe MASTER computer control manages all machines that are integrated in the system - this is unique among artisan bread lines. From the dough weight checking to the bread moulder settings, all parameters are established for the various types of bread. You choose your preset kind of bread and the entire breadsystem will then provide the machinery settings required to make that particular recipe. A weight checker is connected to the control unit. The advantage is that the dough pieces as they are set in the recipe are compared with the actual weights and when they do not match this is automatically corrected. This also applies to all settings of both the conical dough rounder and the long roller, for which rollers and pressure board are set for each type of bread. To start production, just choose type and number of product and go! This investment will pay for itself in no time, believe us or let us calculate that!", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Announced today, Carbon Engineering (CE), a Canadian-based clean energy company, has published new research that proves CO2 can now be captured from the atmosphere for less than $100USD per ton. Released in a peer-reviewed paper, CE’s breakthroughs in Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology demonstrate, for the first time, a scalable and cost-effective solution for removing CO2 from the atmosphere.\nCarbon Engineering founder and Harvard Professor publishes the first viable solution for the commercialization of large-scale Direct Air Capture technology, producing clean fuels\nCarbon Engineering pilot plant in Squamish BC\nCE’s clean fuel, synthesized from carbon dioxide captured from the air and hydrogen split from water\nCE’s direct air capture equipment. Shown are the calciner (left) and air contactor (right)\n|Video link, HERE.|\nThe implications of CE’s proven DAC technology on climate strategy are twofold – it allows the removal of existing CO2 from the air to counteract emissions too challenging or costly to eliminate at source, and enables the production of clean fuels that can significantly reduce transportation emissions. These outcomes accelerate the shift to a “net zero” world that avoids the risks of climate change while affordably delivering clean energy.\nThe research was led by David Keith, a Harvard Professor and founder of CE, and published by Joule, a leading scientific journal dedicated to ground-breaking energy research. The findings are based on three years’ research from CE’s pilot plant located in Squamish, B.C.\nKeith explains, “Until now, research suggested it would cost $600USD per ton to remove CO2 from the atmosphere using DAC technology, making it too expensive to be a feasible solution to removing legacy carbon at scale. At CE, we’ve been working on direct air capture since 2009, running our pilot plant since 2015, and we now have the data and engineering to prove that DAC can achieve costs below $100USD per ton. No prior research in the peer-reviewed literature provides a design and engineering cost for a complete DAC system– and this paper fills that gap.”\nCE is now commercializing DAC technology through integration with the company’s AIR TO FUELS™ process, which uses water electrolysis and fuels synthesis to produce clean liquid hydrocarbon fuels that are drop-in compatible with existing transportation infrastructure. CE has proven both DAC and AIR TO FUELS™ technologies and has been capturing CO2 from the atmosphere since 2015 and converting it into fuels since December 2017.\n“CE’s vision is to reduce the effects of climate change by first cutting emissions, then by reducing atmospheric CO2,” says Steve Oldham, CEO of CE. “Our clean fuel is fully compatible with existing engines, so it provides the transportation sector with a solution for significantly reducing emissions, either through blending or direct use. Our technology is scalable, flexible and demonstrated. Today, we’re actively seeking partners who will work with CE to dramatically reduce emissions in the transportation sector and help us move to a carbon-neutral economy.”\nNoah Deich, Executive Director, Center for Carbon Removal, says: “Direct air capture technology offers a highly-scalable pathway to removing carbon from the atmosphere. This analysis demonstrates the potential for Carbon Engineering’s technology to fall to a cost that would drive significant investment and corporate adoption in the near future.”\n*The most influential prior estimate of DAC costs was provided by a 2011 American Physical Society (APS) study. The APS had costs of 780 $/t-CO2-avoided and 550 $/t- CO2-captured, where the emission from electricity supply outside the plant boundary.\nCE has developed and demonstrated the most cost-effective, scalable technology for removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere.\nCE creates clean fuel directly from the air. CE’s AIR TO FUELS™ technology is designed to decarbonize the transportation sector and provide fuel sustainability within a circular economy. CE has a pilot plant in Squamish, British Columbia, which has been removing CO2 from the atmosphere since 2015.\nAbout the research:\nThe manuscript, called “A process for capturing CO2 from the atmosphere,” was launched in Joule Journal on June 7th and is available to view in full here . Carbon Engineering (CE) has published new research that proves CO2 can now be captured from the atmosphere for less than $100USD per ton using its proprietary Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology.\nThe paper’s primary researcher was David Keith, Founder of CE. Most of the funding for the work came from funds CE raised from its investors.

{"text": "PG&E TO REPLACE MORE THAN 1,200 MILES OF FAULTY GAS PIPING ACROSS CALIFORNIA\nThis story by Paul Rogers was published Oct. 14, 2011 by the Bay Area News Group.\nFacing pressure after a leaky plastic gas pipe sparked a fire at a Cupertino condominium complex, PG&E has decided to replace all 1,231 miles of the same type of aging and notoriously faulty pipeline spread across the state.\nThe massive project will start next month in Cupertino and Roseville — where the pipe has been involved in recent accidents — and in St. Helena. Communities across Northern California and in every Bay Area county will be dug up while the job, expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars, is completed over the coming years.\nUnlike the 30-inch steel transmission gas line that ruptured last year, killing eight people in San Bruno, the 2-inch wide plastic pipe that failed in Cupertino six weeks ago is part of PG&E’s network of 42,000 miles of distribution lines that deliver gas directly to businesses and homes.\nBatches of that plastic pipe, manufactured by DuPont before 1973 under the name Aldyl-A, have shown a history of cracking, prompting numerous federal safety advisories dating to 1998.\n“This is the oldest vintage. We know it is predisposed to cracking,” Jane Yura, PG&E’s vice president of standards and policies for gas operations, said in an interview Thursday. “We are looking at what we need to do to remove the risks and run a safe system.”\nReplacing all 1,231 miles of PG&E’s pre-1973 Aldyl-A pipe will take more than three years, Yura said. She said PG&E will go to the California Public Utilities Commission, probably next year, to ask for a rate increase to cover the cost, which she said the company had not finished estimating yet.\nThe company also is building computerized maps to digitize 15,000 paper maps showing where the pipe is located statewide. It is building a database to help analyze leaks and find which sections should be replaced first, Yura added. And it will replace some of the 6,676 miles of Aldyl-A pipe built after 1973 in areas with higher-than-normal leak histories, she said, even though that vintage of pipe has not been the subject of federal advisories.\nNo federal or state law requires PG&E to dig up all of its Aldyl-A pipe. But problems across the country with it have resulted in numerous lawsuits and multimillion-dollar settlements, dating back decades.\n“They know they have 1,200 miles of old, worn out, defective pipe,” said Jim Findley, of San Rafael, a PG&E gas measurement and control mechanic for 38 years who has raised safety issues about Aldyl-A pipe at PG&E shareholder meetings.\n“Sooner or later, this is going to pop up on some attorney’s or law firm’s screens, and they are going to be going after PG&E for not doing due diligence.”\nIn 2008, a section of an Odessa, Wash., natural gas pipeline made of Aldyl-A pipe exploded, causing a fire that injured two people and destroyed buildings. The faulty pipes were also blamed for a 2003 explosion that killed a Missouri fairgrounds employee. And in 2000, Arizona’s Tucson Gas & Electric reached a $25 million settlement, after problems occurred with its Aldyl-A plastic gas pipeline, installed in the 1960s and 1970s.\nLocally, PG&E found numerous leaks in pipes at the Northpoint condominium complex in Cupertino after an Aug. 31 fire gutted a woman’s home only 15 minutes after she had left.\nThen, on Sept. 27, another Aldyl-A distribution line failed under a Roseville intersection, sending flames shooting into the air for seven hours.\nFindley called PG&E’s new strategy “a positive step” and said it would make PG&E one of the only major utilities in the nation to remove all of its pre-1973 Aldyl-A pipe.\n“This will take at least 10 years to get that much pipe out of the ground. And hundreds of millions of dollars,” Findley said. “I don’t see any way it will be less than $1 billion. There are sidewalks and roads, storm drains, things like that, and you have to work around all of it. Because PG&E hadn’t been taking care of business, now they are behind the eight ball.”\nIn 1998, after a similar type of plastic pipe cracked in Waterloo, Iowa, causing an explosion that destroyed a bar and killed six people, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended utilities and state regulators better monitor plastic piping from that era and replace it when they find it to be a risk.\nIn 2002, and again in 2007, the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued advisory bulletins warning of “premature brittle-like cracking” in Aldyl-A pipes made before 1973 and urging utilities to review records and more frequently survey the lines for leaks. But under pressure from industry, neither the federal government nor the California Public Utilities Commission has ever required it all to be dug up and replaced.\nAttempting to turn the page after last year’s San Bruno disaster, PG&E hired a new CEO, Anthony Earley, a former Naval officer who ran a Detroit utility, DTE Energy, and brought in a new executive vice president in charge of gas operations, Nick Stavropoulos, who overhauled gas line safety at utilities in New York and New England. In his prior job, Stavropoulos replaced Aldyl-A piping across New Hampshire.\n“This is good news. I’m happy that they are planning to replace it,” said Assemblyman Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, of PG&E’s new plans. “I’m troubled by the fact that it took the recent tragedies for them to realize that this needs to be replaced. But I’m happy that they are doing it.”\nEarlier Thursday, Hill and Assemblyman Paul Fong, D-Mountain View, announced plans to introduce legislation next year requiring the Public Utilities Commission to force PG&E and other utilities to adopt recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board for improving natural gas pipeline safety.\nHill said he isn’t sure how much ratepayers should pay for PG&E’s work to replace its oldest Aldyl-A lines.\n“I question whether the ratepayers should be held responsible,” Hill said. “We paid for that pipe once. I don’t know what the life expectancy of that pipe was. But if it was more than 30 years, at least some of the cost should be the manufacturer’s or PG&E’s responsibility.”", "label": "Yes"}

Large supply and return ductwork with low static pressure (about .1 inches on the supply and .2 on the return). Unfortunately, the noise cycling is quite annoying in the basement where it's installed, and the noise travels up the returns into the living room. I've done some noise reduction work in the ductwork which reduced the overall volume, but the constant changes in the noise tone is not tolerable.\nSomeone has suggested that it's due to the load on the motor varying, but they had no thoughts as to why the load is changing.\nI am going to have it checked out by a pro (the original installer is AWOL, a long story I won't tell here), but I was trying to get some additional thoughts ahead of time as to what could be causing it, what additional diagnostics would be useful, and what possible solutions were.\nI've seen where some type of debris got sucked into the blower (even a piece of paper or a hand rag) and it throws the delicate balance of the fan out-a-whack. Maybe the motor mounts are messed up, too.\nTry increasing the static slightly by covering 1/4-1/3 of your filter with cardboard as a TEMPORARY test,(Do not leave it this way). See if the added static makes the noise go away, If it does, then maybe it will go away when you add the coil.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "To understand fully how industrial suppliers are saving the environment, it’s necessary to revisit their history. Industrial suppliers formerly relied on raw materials that were not always environmentally acceptable. Many of these raw materials have been replaced and/or recycled.\nIn industrial supply, customer orders used to be primarily received in hard copy format. The Internet has reduced the use of paper for ordering, shipping, and receiving of industrial supplies. Here are five ways industrial suppliers are saving the environment.\nEnvironmentally Approved Raw Materials and End Products\nIndustrial suppliers help save the environment by purchasing end products made from environmentally approved raw materials. The end products created from these raw materials can be biodegradable or recyclable.\nMaintain Vigilance of Regulatory Compliance\nMany industrial suppliers of HVAC products maintain constant vigilance of regulatory compliance. In refrigeration, for example, industrial suppliers check the 608 Refrigerant Recycling Rule from the U.S. EPA to ensure that refrigerants used in their industrial cooling products are in compliance. Vigilance of compliance is also applicable to heating equipment and boilers.\nChoose Environmentally Aware Industrial Product Manufacturers\nIndustrial suppliers save the environment by choosing manufacturers based on their awareness of environmental responsibility. Industrial suppliers can review manufacturing specs and ratings before purchasing manufactured products.\nUse Environmentally Safe Packaging and “Fillers”\nToday’s industrial suppliers use safe packaging and natural fillers like popcorn and dried beans when preparing shipments of industrial supplies. Other industrial suppliers convert their heating and cooling utilities to clean energy sources like wind turbines, solar, and hydroelectric power. Industrial suppliers of rental equipment choose to transport rental equipment using alternative fuels.\nEncourage Customers to Choose Environmentally Safe Industrial Products\nIndustrial suppliers of rental boilers like Nationwide Boiler have taken a more advanced step by encouraging customers to choose rental boilers that are environmentally safe. For example, by choosing a watertube rental boiler, NOx emissions are reduced by 99%, while simultaneously increasing the efficiency of the boiler’s operation. A low-NOx, trailer-mounted boiler rental offers specs of 75,000 lb/hr, 750 psig with 750 deg. of superheat. A mobile boiler room rental delivers 650 hp, 250 psig and maintains ultra low NOx. Skid-mounted boiler rentals for higher capacity requirements are also low NOx.\nWhether an industrial supplier sells small parts and equipment or large heating and boiler equipment, they save the environment by refining their business operations to reduce waste of natural resources and providing customers with a healthy, safe environment.\nRachelle Wilber is a freelance writer living in the San Diego, California area.

{"text": "- Highly desirable Carbon Series example; One of the most exclusive Ford GTs built\n- Offered from its singular owner, on Ford’s design team that helped design and build the 2016 Le Mans-winning Ford GT and production Ford GTs\n- Finished in Shadow Black with exposed gloss carbon fiber over a carbon interior\n- 0 to 60 in less time than it takes you to read this line\n- Accompanied by order documentation, window sticker, photos from the build at Multimatic, exclusive design-team-only Autodromo Ford GT watch, Multimatic team exclusive ‘1,000’ Ford GT poster, and a Ford GT order kit\nSelling on Saturday Evening\n2021 Ford GT Carbon Series\nDrawing upon their rich and coveted history to create a 21st-century masterpiece of truly unique proportions, the Ford Motor Company combined art and elegance with tremendous power and aerodynamic speed to bless automotive enthusiasts around the world with this 2021 Ford GT Carbon Series. As one of the most exclusive Ford GTs offered since its resurgence in 2015 at the Detroit Auto Show, this example is 1 of just 50 Ford GT Carbon Series manufactured across the globe. Offered from its singular owner, this Ford GT has had the unique opportunity to be under the ownership of one of the people responsible for designing the 2016 Le Mans-winning Ford GT and production Ford GTs.\nHaving been on the Ford Design team for multiple years working on various projects, Russell Sims, an emerging Ford design team engineer, was selected and tabbed by the Heads of Ford with a top-secret project code-named “Phoenix”. Operating out of the “Batcave”, the basement of the Ford design studio to keep things as quiet as possible, Russell and team began designing the components for the 2016 Ford GT that would take on the notorious 24 Hours of Le Mans. Once finished, Sims and the other members of the top-secret Le Mans Ford GT project accompanied Bill Ford and other Ford executives to France to watch the Ford GT take home a historic first-place finish while in Ford’s exclusive presidential suite above pit lane. With a storybook ending, the next task was going back to the States and finalizing the production Ford GTs that would revolutionize the supercar class across the board.\nFast forward a few years later, and Sims would be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and granted an allocation for one of the most exclusive Ford GTs one could obtain. Serial number M099 was hand-selected as an upside-down homage to the Ford GT40 that won Le Mans in ’66. This example is finished in the sinister shade of Shadow Black with the Carbon Series exclusive gloss carbon fiber package. The exterior is further enhanced with a $20,000 Carbon Red graphics package that adds a single red stripe, red brake calipers, and matching red mirrors that few Ford GTs possess, as it resembles that of the 2016 Le Mans-winning Ford GT.\nComing in at an astonishing 40 pounds lighter than a base Ford GT, the body panels, bonnet, bumpers, doors, front splitter, rear diffuser, shell, underbody shield, retractable wing, and 20-inch gloss exposed wheels are all constructed of modern-day carbon fiber. Adding to its weight reduction, this example left the factory with equipment Group 600A, which consists of titanium lug nuts, a titanium exhaust, a lightweight Alcantara steering wheel, and a lightweight titanium tow hook. With carbon fiber components used throughout the entire cabin, the interior of this supercar is designed to cocoon the driver in total luxury and comfort, all while reaching blistering speeds. Ford balanced the mix of performance and driver comforts by equipping this vehicle with air-conditioning, an adjustable steering wheel, adjustable carbon fiber Alcantara wrapped Sparco seats, a radio, and the Sync 3 Apple CarPlay technology pack.\nOnce the car is started and the titanium exhaust unleashes its very intense and amplified rumble, this Ford GT Carbon has one mission, to attack gravity like nothing else on the road, as it is as close as one can get to having a street-legal Formula 1 race car. Between its lightweight carbon fiber body, aerodynamic design, and 660 horsepower, mid-mounted twin-turbocharged engine, this GT teleports from 0 to 60 mph in a time of 3.0 seconds and can cover a quarter mile in 10.8 seconds, all while achieving an impressive top speed of 216 mph.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Getting your 1985 Continental’s brakes checked before trouble starts is a good idea. There's no need to wait for a problem. That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like a tire repair or an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.\nSigns of brake problems include weird noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Lincoln Continental better than anyone else. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. Generally speaking, automakers like Lincoln suggest that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That also includes checking the e-brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. We offer free brake checks seven days a week. Our technicians will inspect your 1985 Lincoln Continental brakes, brake fluid level, and more! Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.\nHow often do 1985 Lincoln Continental brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Continental. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Lincoln Continental brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your Continental, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Lincoln’s standards.\nYou might have a strong and reliable engine in your Lincoln Continental. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. [content-1-text-4-2] One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 1985 Lincoln Continental brake repairs. We offer a variety of brake services like brake pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service. Schedule a brake service and repair appointment for your Lincoln Continental.\nLet's take care of your 1985 Lincoln Continental together. When something breaks, we're ready.

{"text": "Thousands of bright, colorful vehicles, re-crafted from abandoned US army jeeps after the second world war, transport people through Manila’s congested roads and over rugged mountainous valleys. Known as jeepneys, they’re the Philippines’ most ubiquitous public vehicle and a cherished national heritage symbol. But they’re also notorious emitters of air and noise pollution.\nToday, they’re being replaced by and converted into e-jeepneys – eco-friendly versions of the iconic vehicle – to help tackle the country’s high pollution levels and ease heavy traffic. This new breed of minibus runs purely on electricity supplied by rechargeable automotive batteries. It’s all part of a wider government push for electric vehicles in the Philippines.\nOne company helping to make this possible is Spanish electric vehicle developer QEV Technologies. Perhaps better known for its racing pedigree – QEV Tech managed the NextEV-NIO team to victory in the inaugural 2014/15 Formula E championship – off the race track, the company is committed to sharing its expertise with the wider mobility industry to accelerate the transition to electric technology.\nQEV Tech wants to use their technology to create clean cities. This led them to set up a new electric bus business line, where they sell an e-kit platform to manufacturers or partner with others to develop a complete e-bus.\n“There are a lot of smaller manufacturers out there producing the external shell of a bus, but they don’t always have the ability to move to electric,” said Joan Orús, COO of QEV Tech. “It’s hard for them to develop this technology from scratch. So we sell them the platform or work with them to build a full e-bus.”\nAs QEV Tech rides the electric transformation wave, they had to transition quickly from a startup with only a handful of engineers to a team of more than 50. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud helps to bring everyone together, streamline workflows and collaborate with manufacturers around the world to help create a new generation of eco-friendly vehicles.\nTo find out more about QEV Tech’s journey, read the full story here.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The Swift is powered by the tried-and-tested four-cylinder Fiat sourced 1.3-litre turbo-diesel engine. There's no change in power output, meaning it produces 74bhp and 190Nm of torque like its predecessor. We noticed that on the go, one needs to keep the revs hovering over 1900rpm for adequate response, especially while commuting in traffic. Post this, it does get more vocal with the distinct engine clatter. Thankfully, what helps is the fact that the Swift is light, but even then, one needs to constantly go up and down the five-speed gearbox to extract the most out of this engine. What works in its favour is the light clutch and the crisp gear shifts.\nThe Figo, on the other hand, gets a powerful 1.5-litre diesel motor that produces 99bhp of power and 215Nm of torque. This mill is comparatively less noisy and has a better throttle response. The turbo lag isn't that pronounced and post 1,750rpm one can feel a nice tug. Sure, the Swift has the advantage of being light weight, but then the Figo makes up for it with more power and torque. All the same, some people might not like the rubbery gear shifts here and a little heavier clutch with springy action, especially when driving in traffic. The highlight, however, is that unlike the Swift, you don’t need to constantly shift gears to make progress and all you need to do is ride the linear torque curve. Overall, you’ll appreciate its more responsive nature which ultimately also makes it feel more relaxed at high speeds too.\nWhen it comes to the ride and handling bits, the loose steering on the Swift might feel easier to use than the tighter one on the Figo, especially while manoeuvring through traffic. And, even if it does weigh up at higher speeds, it isn't as precise as the Figo's, which also provides a better feedback. But while taking a corner, one will certainly realise how sharper, quicker and more planted the Figo feels than the Swift. Both the cars get McPherson struts in the front and torsion/twist beam type suspension at the rear. But of course, they are differently tuned and as a result the Figo feels more planted with its adept suspension. Though tyre noise can be heard at triple-digit speeds, its high speed stability is phenomenal. Yet, the Swift absorbs bumps better, while the sharper potholes do send a jolt in the Figo's cabin. All in all, the Swift, despite its lighter controls, isn't as exciting to drive or confidence inspiring as the Figo.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Today my son apparently shot a turn wide and went down on our white 919. Tough getting that phone call that starts out \"I'm ok\"... Best news is he is a little sore but otherwise unscathed. Wearing his brand spanking new AGV helmet he just bought yesterday! From what I can tell he managed to keep it vertical off the berm, down through the ditch and finally lost it in the field where it low sided until it grabbed then it flipped over onto right side.\nNo easily visible major damage--We hosed lots of dirt off the left side. Windshield got ripped off and left mirror glass is missing. Chin spoiler is cracked. Sliders might have saved the bike even in the dirt.\nMy question is he said when he picked the bike up the shift lever was around vertical from the normal 9 o'clock position and he bent it back down. the rod has an arc in it. any chance of internal damage to the shift mechanism? I didn't want to try and ride/shift it until I give the bike a thorough going over in the shop. Bike started back up ok and ran. I trailered it home.\nThankfully your son is OK, that is #1 by miles from #2.\nAs for the bike...................\nSuggest you try to dial the shaft of the gear shift spindle right behind the outboard splines that are for the gearshift pedal link. (Unless it's so visibly bent you can easily tell)\nDo it at a couple of points, through as much travel as you can get from the spindle.\nIf it's good to go in terms of indicated runout, you can relax.\nIf the runout indicates a deformed 'spindle, then it needs to removed and adequately straightened or replaced.\nThe bent rod between the links can be straightened or replaced. (if you try to make one, you'll need a left hand die for one end).\nThe shifter pedal (lever) being a mild steel fabrication, can easily be straightened.", "label": "Yes"}

The car moves breakthroughs\nWith reference to the car breakthrough — this short-term spontaneous change of frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft of the engine irrespective of the provision of a pedal of \"gas\".

A limiting case of breakthrough — a failure — notable delay of response of the engine on pressing of a pedal of an accelerator.\nIt is conditionally possible to allocate three types of breakthroughs:\n– at the moment of a start of motion;\n– at dispersal;\n– at the established movement, i.e. at the continuous provision of a pedal of \"gas\".\nFor definition of the reasons of breakthroughs at car movement with the injector engine the special diagnostic equipment therefore we recommend to address in the car-care center specializing on repair of systems of injection of fuel is required.

{"text": "This morning, the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), together with its research center the Scientific and Technological Research Center for Diamonds (WTOCD), unveiled a revolutionary technology that fully automates and accelerates the diamond polishing process: Fenix. This technology fundamentally transforms that process that has not changed since Lodewijck Van Bercken, a 15th-century jeweler and diamond cutter in Antwerp, in 1456 discovered that diamond could be polished with diamond. Watch the preview video here.\nDiamonds have been polished by hand on a polishing wheel for centuries, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, which has taken place in Antwerp with declining frequency due to the comparatively high wages paid to laborers. In the 1960s, Antwerp became the modern leader of the diamond trade in part due to the large number of polishers - some 10,000 - that plied their trade in Antwerp. However, the number of polishers in Antwerp has dwindled in the decades since due to high wages in Belgium, and while large and exceptional diamonds are still sent to Antwerp to be analyzed, mapped and polished, the cost of polishing smaller stones in Europe has become prohibitive.\nAntwerp has struggled to find an answer to this issue, and has invested heavily in innovation to do so. Now, after more than ten years of research, the WTOCD has succeeded in developing a technology that fully automates the polishing process, and moreover, is able to polish a diamond 10 to 20 times faster than by hand. Using the new machine, called Fenix, a stone that would typically consume an entire day can now be polished in one and a half hours. Not only is Fenix faster, it is also more accurate and lowers polishing risks, which is obviously of great importance when processing a stone as valuable as diamond.\nEqually as important as its exceptional speed and accuracy, however, perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of Fenix is that it is 'grain-independent'. A diamond formed in nature has specific grain or growth orientation of the crystals. Working according to the grain is an intensive and time consuming process; removing the need to take the grain into consideration when polishing eliminates a great amount of time and risk right from the start of the process.\nAWDC CEO Ari Epstein commented, “This discovery fundamentally changes the diamond polishing process, and Fenix can be a game-changer for the Antwerp diamond industry. This technology gives Antwerp the potential to bring a share of diamond polishing back to Antwerp. Given the fact that such tremendous volumes of rough stones are traded here, and 90 percent of that is polished elsewhere, the potential to immediately polish stones here and then trade them out of Antwerp can spark a genuine revolution in our diamond trade.\"\nYves Kerremans, Director of the WTOCD, explained that during the development process, they tested Fenix on stones that had been considered unpolishable and had been locked away for fifty years waiting for the right innovation to come along. \"Some diamonds even have a double grain, two different directions of internal growth, making them fundamentally unprocessable. This is not an issue for the Fenix. Add to this the fact that it is a cold polishing process - the heat generated in the manual polishing process carries the risk of breakage and inaccuracy - and this technology is a tremendous value creator. Just as importantly,\" he adds, \"it implements what is planned. Mapping the cut of a polished diamond from a rough stone takes great expertise. Transferring that information to the polisher has long been a problem. Now it can be communicated directly.\" Several Antwerp-based diamond companies are currently testing the technology, which is scheduled to be available to the public in September.", "label": "Yes"}

The drive and control technology used previously in the company had grown organically and was therefore very heterogenous. In addition, operation was complex and slow using a touch panel with industrial PC (IPC).

The distributed I/O used by Tipper is a Simatic ET200 controller and the servo drives are Sinamics S210 converters.

{"text": "The Jalopy Journal\nDiscussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by D_Lazaris, Oct 11, 2010.\nWell as much as I loved the cream engine color it just did not work with the color of the engine compartment so for the last time (hopefully) I repainted the block.\nThis time it matches the engine compartment.\nOh and I also rebuilt the carbs.\nI used the carburetor shop. They were a little pricey for the rebuilds but when i got them they were quality parts.\nWell I went to fill the transmission up with oil, ad it started leaking like crazy from all the seals.... I guess that what I get for not replacing the seals and gaskets... HA wishful thinking eh?\nTomorrow I'm going to take it down to a tranny shop and see what they can do... I've never had any luck with transmission and I want this one to just work!\nI am aso taking the engine down to a shop to see about a custom air intake for the supercharger.. I'll let all of you know how that goes.\nAlso, have a question and I am stumped!\nWhere the heck does the remote oil filter plug into????\nThe remote oil filter has a 1/8\" line going to the feed of the filter base (I think that's the center connection) from the main oil galley on the right side of the engine. If you look at the \"hump\" (the main oil galley) along the side between the front of the engine and the oil pump you will find a plug. Take that out and attach the feed line. There is a 3/16\" line that goes from the oil filter base drain-back to the left side of the engine near the oil filler/dipstick tube boss. I forget whether it's between the front of the engine and boss or the back. Should be a plug there. I say plugs in the galley and left side of engine since I assume the engine didn't have the filter originally. You can mount the filter anywhere. Since it's pressurized the drain line doesn't have to be naturally drain back to the engine.\nI might be wrong on the exact line sizes, but the smaller line is the feed/larger the drain back. The flare nuts are or course different sizes, so easy to determine location. The plugs in the block are the same size as their corresponding oil lines, of course. Ready made lengths of brake line work just fine.\nYour supercharger is mounted where the filter is normally mounted, but I have a suggestion. You can use flexible lines, at least for a short distance, and mount the filter anywhere. I'd run hard lines along the engine to a point on the right side where you would then connect to flexible lines that go to a readily available filter base. The filter that Nash/AMC used is an industrial filter. Its still available at places that service tractor-trailer refers (the only current use I know of), but not on the shelf at local parts stores. If you use the original base on the engine (that's so it can use hard lines -- moves with the engine) order the filters by the case. If you use a readily available remote filter base it will use a readily available filter. It can be mounted on a custom bracket to the engine to use hard lines, but flex lines and mounted on the body might be more convenient.\nSealing the trans should be no problem. If the shifter shaft seals are leaking the trans has to be at least partially disassembled though. Most likely it's just the front and rear seals. Note that without the driveshaft installed the rear seal will leak... but you probably knew that!\nAh. okay. I was pretty sure that the remote filter pluged into those holes, but it is good to confirm.\nYeah when I got the car it did not have the remote filter with it. So I will probably by an aftermarket (maybe Moon) and mount it to the firewall (or maybe to the engine, will have to check where there is space, and where it would look the best too\nAnd about the rear seal... I will admit I did not know that it would leak without the drive shaft, but when I went to intall the tranny in the car almost ALL the fluid drained out the back, it was almost gushing. But I am replacing all the seals anyway. It needs to be done, and right now is the perfect time.\nYes, without the driveshaft yoke in you must keep the transmission from tilting back or ALL the oil can pour out. The rear seal is really the only one I'd change. There is a small front seal, but little oil will leak from it. The only other seals are on the shifting shafts. Manual transmissions just splash oil around inside, nothing is under pressure. The oil level is also below all the seals -- they just get a bit splashed on them when the car is moving. The rear seal has the driveshaft yoke spinning in it, and vibration from the yoke along with dust and dirt and general exposure to the elements can cause that seal to wear. Since the driveshaft must be removed to replace it it's a good idea to do so before installing. The other seals should be fine. Check the oil level after the transmission is in, squirt oil in the hole with a pump bottle or a big basting syringe and tube.\nAhhh I loved your car at the old Pomona car show! I was gawking all over it! One question I have is where did you get the nylon? connectors to attach the supercharger piping? I am getting the pipes bent tomorrow and need to attach them.\nHey dude. This is badass. I love that you're hookin that blower up.\nThanks! I am having a blast with this build. It is refreshing.... and also frustrating doing this project (Still love every minute though!)\nEverything needs to be fabricated or thought outside the box to an extent. Plus trying to do it period correct is new for me.\nMy last project was a slightly OT 66 Chevy C-10 that we use as our push vehicle, and that was a lot of buy and stick on parts with a sbc. So this new project is pretty damn entertaining!\nSo next week we will get the welds finished up on the intake once it's in the car, and we will have the headers and exhaust built.\nTranny won't be done till tues so this weekend I'll get the brakes done.\nas you can see it wasn't the last time the engine would be painted...\nBehind the generator.\ncool build,engine looks alot better all one color.lookin forward to seeing this little monster gett'in busy...\nI was just looking at that engine color... ;> It's looking good though! I'll throw another color at you -- the original engine color was grey.\nWater pump is behind the generator as Laz says -- driven by an extension shaft off the back of the generator. The good thing is the water pump is close to the center of the engine and the back cylinders run cooler than most sixes -- more even temps across all six. Bad thing is there's a long hose, and you have to run the original generator. Or do like someone else mentioned -- gut the generator and just use it as a shaft carrier and run an alternator above it or on the other side of the engine. Always a work around!\nGrey was the stock color? Huh interesting choice!\nMy Big Ambassador, a 1950, has the grey block with a red valve cover, and a black oil bath air cleaner. It looks like a stationary motor, or something from a vintage boat.\nAll red with the aluminum is looking good, IMHO. The two-toning looked too busy.\nMy plan is to go all black, but still deciding on whether to turbocharge the original six, or using a dressed up 351c that I have kicking around. I have this batwing air cleaner that I'd hate to not use...\nCool project you have there!\nVery cool build !!\nMight want to think about a rubber (silicon) connector between the outlet tube to the carbs and the blower. Things are gonna shake, rattle and roll a little.\nCan't wait to see/hear the video when you fire this baby up !!\nGreat job !\nThats the plan\nIf your asking me, keep the original 6\nWell went to long beach swap meet today and got the electric fuel pump and regulator.\nAnd also got an old moon tank to put in the trunk it's only 5 gal but it should get me around town!\nGot it home and got it buffed it out\ncool,going all race car are ya! .........\nha! well when I race it at the Antique Nationals, I was thinking of mounting the moon tank in front of the grill, run no hood, and have 3 zoomie headers poking out!\nWorking on the brakes....\nLet's just say I will be very happy when they are done... I can't stand working on brakes! And these are a PAIN to adjust!\nWell I got the engine back in the car, it's all bolted up and ready to go!\nJust need to do the little things now and I'll be starting her soon.\nSeeing it all together... I may no run a hood for a while\nWOW!! that looks great....cant wait to hear and see it running\nor rotate it up, use a longer threaded rod and stack two of the filter elements, problem solved.\nSeparate names with a comma.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "This post is originally from June 2014\nEarlier in June, Tesla Motors, electric car company, released all their patents on designs and technology to the public. All the business folks out there were probably shocked at this decision; CEO Elon Musk must be crazy for giving up his greatest competitive advantage. I think the move is brilliant! It’s not like everyone is going to stop what they’re doing and start creating and developing the latest and greatest electric car. Maybe a lawnmower company uses it and creates an electric emissions free lawnmower or a boating company uses it to make a powerful and clean speedboat that leaves a great wake but no pollution in the lakes. Electric cars, it sounds futuristic, but electric cars have been around for a long time and at this point should just be thought of as another type of car on the road instead of a completely new breed.\nIn 1835 Thomas Davenport, a blacksmith out of Vermont, created what is known and considered to be the first electric motor with the capability of being mass-produced. Later in 1895, A. L. Ryker developed an electric tricycle and in 1891 William Morrison built an electric vehicle that could carry six people. As roadways developed in the early 1900s there was more demand for vehicles that could travel the longer distances from city to city. Charles Kettering invented an electric starter in 1912. Prior to this invention, electric vehicles required a hand crank to start them. Around the same time, Henry Ford designed and created an internal combustion engine vehicle for mass-production. Due to recently discovered oil reserves electric vehicles cost three times the amount as gasoline cars. The Great Depression followed making it difficult for electric vehicles to gain any kind of ground.\nThe 1960s saw one of the largest political actions toward environmentalism and sustainability. A company called Battronic Truck Company built an electric truck that could reach 25 mph for 62 miles carrying 2,500 pounds. In 1975 the United States Postal Service bought over 350 electric vehicles to use for delivery. These vehicles could go between 40 and 50 miles per hour with a range of 40 miles, probably a good distance for vehicles that are usually used around one or two towns. This support from the government helped encourage motor companies and entrepreneurs to create better and more efficient vehicles.\nGeneral Motors attempted an electric car and succeeded in the early 1990s with the EV1. They tried to include all the latest luxuries cars had to offer, while have the car hold a charge for enough miles to make the car still practical. They did not sell the car but instead leased so that GM would still own the car. From accounts shared in the documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car”, people loved the car. There were more than 1000 EV1s around the west coast during the 1990s and early 2000s. It seemed like GM created a car that was not only socially responsible but one that people also loved to drive. So why didn’t the EV1 take off? GM decided that the cost to produce the EV1 was too high to mass-produce and actually sell the car. GM collected all of the EV1s taking them to Arizona to crush them. The popularity of the EV1 shows that electric cars are not a trend but are cars that appeal to all types of people.\nRegardless of whether or not you believe in climate change or what role humans have in contributing, the price of oil will continue to rise, while the quantity of oil will continue to decline. Electric cars are not only a way to give the United States energy independence, but also save the country billions of dollars on importing oil or drilling and searching for new reserves. Tesla Motors developed incredible technology and instead of using it to better one company, it can be used to better the world. Electric cars are not a new idea, but the idea of sharing technologies and innovations so that society can benefit, I would say that’s revolutionary and it’s a bandwagon we should all climb aboard.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Solterra joins the electric SUV party\nSubaru is famous for its rugged off-roaders, but now it too has joined the electric revolution with the Solterra, a brand new SUV conceived in collaboration with Toyota.\nCollaboration is becoming more and more common as firms seek to cut costs, but also maximise technology, which, of course, cuts costs. In this case Subaru’s outstanding all-wheel-drive technology and Toyota’s tried and tested vehicle electrification technology.\nGreat, but the first question many ask about electric cars is: what is the range?\nPretty good it turned out with up to 289 miles according to WLTP figures and the ability to fast charge up to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes. A big tick on the range anxiety factor as that figure seemed pretty close, in admittedly good electric vehicle driving conditions.\nIt looks good, sitting high off the ground and featuring smart 20-inch alloy wheels on this Touring model and with a 210mm ground clearance, it means that Subaru’s legendary off-road capability can be tested to the full.\nThere are just two trim levels, Limited and Touring and although not cheap, both are packed with standard equipment like alloy wheels, heated steering wheel and seats, plus what seems a necessity as cars get bigger, a 360-degree parking camera, a digital rear-view mirror. Limited starts from £52,495, but upgrade to the touring at £55,495 and you can add panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon sound system and wireless smartphone charging.\nBoth feature adaptive LED headlights, auto wipers, privacy glass, and keyless entry to name just a few.\nSo how does it shape up:\nInterior: A seven-inch top-mounted digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with an advanced design controls major functions like connectivity, navigation and infotainment while the Driver Monitor System, allows for personalised settings. Other controls are logically laid out and easy to use and the cabin is spacious with good head and legroom and there are also four USB ports.\nOn the road: Like all electric cars, acceleration is rapid, and this large SUV has plenty of pace, hitting 60mph in just under seven seconds. Ride comfort is good but handling is not the strong point with off-roader and while not agile, it feels solid and all planted with only a hint of body roll on corners.\nPower: Dual 60kW motors are powered by 71.4kWh battery, driving all wheels via automatic transmission to deliver smooth power delivery. This results in a more consistent and impressive performance. It also includes a heat pump to efficiently warm the battery.\nDriving modes: Offering multiple driving modes which are pretty self-explanatory are ECO, NORMAL, and POWER depending on driver mood while a rotary shifter controls the transmission. The standard permanent all-wheel drive ensures excellent traction and control in various driving conditions..\nStowage: The 441 litre boot is, accessed via a powered tailgate is cavernous when the rear seats are folded and there is an extra 10 litres of storage space under the floor for the likes of power cables.\nPricing and appeal: While it may not be the cheapest 4WD electric vehicle it’s certainly competitive in its class. Subaru tends to have a loyal customer base, but this could broaden appeal to a wider audience.\nSubaru Solterra Touring EV\nMechanical: 218PS, 160kW twin-motors, 71.4kWh battery, driving all wheels via automatic transmission\nMax Speed: 100mph\n0-62mph: 6.9 secs\nRange: 289 miles\nInsurance Group: 47\nC02 emissions: 0\nWarranty: 3yrs/60,000 miles", "label": "Yes"}

Shading your outdoor unit will keep it cooler and running better, but it can also cause harm to your unit if it’s done incorrectly. Placing an umbrella too close to the top of your A/C can trap hot air between the unit and the umbrella, which can cause the unit to get hotter. It’s not worth the risk if you ask us.\nWhat can you do instead? If you feel like your outdoor system is struggling in the heat, you can give it a quick rinse with the hose.

{"text": "Air conditioning drains, or condensate drains, are the pipes that expel excess moisture from your air conditioner. It’s important to keep these pipes clear to prevent potential air conditioner problems, which you won’t want to happen, given the warm months to come. Read more\nA good night’s sleep can do wonders for your health. If you’ve been having a hard time getting your full eight hours of sleep, you might be surprised at how much a few tweaks to your HVAC system can help. In this blog, HVAC repair company Schmitt Heating & Air Conditioning shares tips on how to optimize your air conditioner for a good night’s sleep. Read more\nSan Francisco winters are mild and rarely extreme, making it one of the many areas where a heat pump is a viable heating and air conditioning option. Unlike other types of HVAC systems, heat pumps don’t “produce” warm or cold air. Instead, they transfer heat from one place to another. This means it can function as either a heater or a cooler, depending on the season. Read more\nWe’ve often had calls where homeowners thought their heating and cooling systems were losing efficiency, only to find out after an inspection that the problems are due to unbalanced airflow. In this blog, heating system repair contractor Schmitt Heating & Air Conditioning shares an overview of air balancing and its importance.\nToday’s homeowners are fortunate in that they have many choices on how to heat their homes. Home heating systems have come a long way from fires in caves during prehistoric times. In this blog, heating and air conditioning contractor Schmitt shares a quick look into how home heating systems have evolved.\nMany of today’s home HVAC systems are equipped with humidifiers to maintain balanced relative indoor humidity. If your HVAC system has one, chances are its water panel may need to be changed. In this blog, the HVAC contractors at Schmitt Heating & Air Conditioning explain why you need to do this.\nThe HVAC system plays an important part in maintaining good indoor air quality in your building. After all, the “V” in HVAC does stand for ventilation. Incorrect settings or a lack of care and maintenance can lead to indoor air quality issues, resulting in uncomfortable temperatures, low humidity levels and the spread of allergens and bacteria. Read more\nEvery home has different heating requirements, and therefore needs a furnace that’s the appropriate size to meet them. In this blog, residential and commercial HVAC repair contractor Schmitt shares insight on the importance of furnace sizing.\nSize Does Matter\nYour home needs a furnace that will supply heat efficiently, consistently and in the appropriate amount, which is why choosing the right furnace size is important. An undersized furnace will redline all the time—and consume a lot of fuel in the process—just to meet minimum heating requirements. To illustrate using an extreme example, it’s like trying to heat an entire house using a portable space heater.\nOversized furnaces can also be problematic, as they provide too much heat too fast, leading to “short cycling”. In other words, the furnace turns off and on too fast, which places additional strain on it, consumes more energy and can potentially lead to premature breakdown. The right sizing applies to both heating and cooling systems, so your air conditioner needs to be properly sized as well.\nHow Furnace Size Is Calculated\nYour HVAC technician will take several factors into consideration before estimating the furnace size that will fulfill your home’s heating requirements:\nYour Home’s Square Footage — This includes all the rooms that require heating, including finished basements and attics. Rooms vary in size and shape, of course, all of which will be taken into account.\nHeating Factor — Heating as well as cooling is relative to outdoor temperatures. There are five standard zones in the United States, all with different BTU (British thermal unit) requirements. The farther from the equator, the higher the required BTUs will be. California is located in Zone 2, with a heating factor of 30 to 35 BTUs. By contrast, some of the northernmost areas in the country, such as Minneapolis, require 50 to 60 BTUs.\nInsulation — A well-insulated home won’t require as much heating. In addition to wall and attic insulation, ceilings and floors in certain rooms should be insulated, and don’t forget to caulk and seal your windows and doors as well.\nTo calculate your home heating requirements, multiply the square footage of your house by the heating factor. The better insulated the house is, the lower the required BTUs within the resulting range. For example, if your home’s total floor area is 2,000 square feet and is well-insulated, then it will take around 60,000 BTUs to heat your home. A furnace with a corresponding output will then be selected and installed.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Tips to be a Successful Septic Tank Owner\nThe average household septic tank system should be inspected at least every three years by a professional septic tank company. Residential septic tanks are typically pumped every three to five years.\nFour major factors influence the frequency of septic tank pumping:\n•Size of Household\n•Total wastewater generated\n•Volume of solids in wastewater\n•Size of septic tank\nWhat happens when a septic tank company is coming to inspect your septic tank:\nWhen you call a Woodstock septic tank company, they will inspect for leaks and examine the scum and sludge layers in your septic tank.\nIt is important to keep maintenance records on the work performed on your septic tank system.\nYour septic tank includes a T-shaped outlet which prevents sludge and scum from leaving the septic tank and traveling to the drainfield area. If the bottom of the scum layer is within six inches of the bottom of the outlet, or if the top of the sludge layer is within 12 inches of the outlet, your septic tank needs to be pumped.\nTo keep track of when to pump out your tank, keep a diary of the sludge and scum levels found by the septic professional.\nThe licensed plumbing company should note repairs completed and the septic tank condition in your system’s service report. If other repairs are recommended, hire a Woodstock professional septic tank company soon.\nAll About Septic Tanks\nWhat is a Sewage Pump?\nA sewage pump is used to transfer sewage liquids and solids from one place to another. Usually, in residential applications, sewage includes soft solids up to 2\" in diameter is pumped from a sewage basin to a sewer system or a septic tank. A sewage pump is installed at the lowest point of the sewage basin.\nSince the pump is submerged most of the time, it is also referred to as a submersible sewage pump. Sewage pump can be automatic, manual or dual mode. A dual mode pump contains a piggyback plug, which allows the pump to be used as either manual, wherein the pump bypasses the switch and is plugged in directly into the socket or as automatic, wherein the pump is plugged in through the floating switch and works only when the switch is activated.\nDue to a possibility of sewage overflow, it is generally not advised to use a manual sewage pump inside of a sewage basin.\nSewage pumps are centrifugal pumps, with special design enabling solids to pass without clogging the pump. When the pump is turned on, the motor starts to rotate the impeller, creating the pressure that pushes water into the impeller and goes into the discharge pipe.\nThe sewage pump is powered through a 10-25 ft. electric cord. Depending on the model, the voltage can be 115, 230, 460, or 575 volts. The pump housing, which contains a motor and an impeller, is made with cast iron and is built for long term use.\nTypes of Sewage Pumps\n• Check for a small 3/16 to 3/8 inch weep hole in the discharge pipe directly above it.\n• Visually inspect all alarm mechanisms (if applicable), exposed metal parts and connections for corrosion. You may apply a silicone water repellant spray to deter corrosion. Refer to manufacturer usage instructions to apply silicone spray.\n• Verify that there is a check valve in place on the drain line just above the pump cover. Contact a licensed plumber in [post_name] to add a check valve if one is not present.\n• Check to make sure the air gap in between the interior and exterior discharge pipes should be open and clear of debris.\nThere are many pumping station facilities, including pumps and equipment for pumping fluids from one place to another. They are used for a variety of infrastructure systems, such as supplying water to canals, and the removal of sewage to the processing site. This station in sewage collection system also called lift station, are designed to handle raw sewage that is fed from underground pipelines.\nBusinesses in [post_name] can benefit from using sewage pumps as it can handle loads of water in a small amount of time. It is cost efficient if you have a sewage pump to handle those unwanted water and wet waste.\nLearn more about how sewage pumps work and how they can help your business.\nThe ABC Of High Pressure Jetting\nThe drainage industry is growing in leaps and bounds. The rise in heavily packed households and town ships where drainage systems are implemented with more planning and precision, importance has been given to the maintenance aspect of the drainage industry sector. Both in the commercial and domestic sectors, drainage companies have brought in many new technologies for the better treatment of drainage and sewages. Technologies such as CCTV surveys are very popular amongst the drainage companies, but the most popular and most preferred drainage related issues are high pressure water jetting equipment.\nHigh pressure water jetting is done by using drain jetting equipment which can also be named jet vaccumation. Water is pumped by using large pressure into the drainage lines or sewage lines. This cleans all the debris and other wastes that are accumulated in the drain. Using this method is any easy way to clean the pipe line. High pressure water jetting can help to bring the drainage line back to its original condition without replacing the pipeline. Cleaning drains with high pressure water jetting equipment is a cost effective method. If jetting machines are used for drainage cleaning, the work becomes easy and value for money.\nCleaning your drains with high pressure water jetting machines are far more effective than using any other methods of drain cleaning. Cleaning the drain with a water jetting machine can make the drain cleaner for a longer period. Using quality material for your plumbing works is very important in the drainage design. If low quality pipes are used in your installation of your drainage, there are chances for the pipes to break while water is pumped in with high pressure. Finally, you will have to reinstall the entire drainage system, which will be a costly affair. Effective use of water pressure jetting equipment is possible only with all these factors in mind.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "It can get really hot in Texas, and you want your AC system to work as efficiently as possible to provide indoor comfort without incurring undue costs. Your air conditioner is a complex system and has many parts to its whole. Not only do you want your system itself to be in top running condition, but you also need your home environment to work hand-in-hand with the AC for the system to work optimally. There are many ways in which you can improve the efficiency of your cooling system by optimizing methods and practices that affect your AC unit both directly and indirectly.\nThe easiest and cheapest way to keep your air system working optimally is by changing the air filters regularly. The air filter prevents small particles like dust, pollen, and other tiny debris from entering the air system. When the filters are clogged and dirty, they block normal airflow. As a result, the system has to work harder than normal. When this airflow is blocked from normal channels, the air intake will increase from other sources and bring in contaminants that can accumulate on the coils.\nDirt on the evaporator coil impairs how it absorbs heat and reduces the system efficiency. You can reduce your overall AC energy usage by 5-10 percent by some estimates if you change your air filters when needed.\nCooling and heating your home are usually the largest percentage of your home energy usage. Changing the thermostat up or down 7-10 degrees Fahrenheit for eight hours during the day can save you as much as 10 percent total use annually. For the summer season, it is recommended that you set the thermostat to 78 degrees Fahrenheit when you are home and set it between 80 – 85 degrees Fahrenheit if you are away from home four hours or longer.\nA programmable thermostat can make saving energy costs for cooling and heating your home an easy task. You can program the temperature settings to be a comfortable range for when you are home and lower or higher for the times that you will be away. Simply program the thermostat to your comfort level a short time before you arrive.\nThis takes the guesswork out of setting your thermostat and circumvents issues of forgetting to change the settings. If you have a “smart” thermostat that has an accompanying app for a mobile device, you can even set it remotely when you are away from the home.\nOne of the best ways to ensure that your AC system is always in the best shape possible is by instituting an annual maintenance tune-up from a professional cooling and heating business. Your AC system is a large unit with many components that need to be cleaned and checked periodically in order to do the job efficiently.\nYour air filters should be changed often for unimpeded airflow, and the coils need to be cleaned so they will absorb and transfer heat correctly. The air fins are aluminum and can be easily bent and may need reshaping. The condensation drains can become clogged and prevent the AC system from removing excess moisture from your indoor air.\nYour AC cooling specialist will check and clean your AC system. Common tasks will include checking refrigerant levels and possible leaks, checking the ducts for air leaks, checking the coils and cleaning if necessary, making sure the vents and airflow areas are free of debris, examining any belts or motors and running diagnostics. The trained and NATE-certified technicians at Air Patrol Air Conditioning perform thorough and careful AC tune-ups that keep your AC system in top working order.\nA correctly sized air system will cool and heat your home in the way it is intended. Many people falsely assume that bigger is always better when it comes to mechanically maintaining the desired temperatures in the home. This is not the case, though, and a cooling system that is too large and powerful for the home will not run efficiently. The AC system will turn off before it has cooled the house thoroughly, and it will then turn back on again too quickly. This short cycling uses excess energy to keep restarting the system, whereas longer cycles with longer intervals will use less energy overall.\nAn AC system that is too small for the home will try to run in cycles that are too long as it works harder in order to cool the home. This will waste energy and drive up your cooling costs.\nYou can increase the efficiency of your AC system by improving the insulation in your home and by sealing any air leaks around items like windows, doors, and the ductwork. You should check to ensure that your walls and attic are properly insulated with the correct thickness of insulation. This is a job a trained insulation specialist can do safely. Examine your windows and doors and add caulking and other insulating materials to keep your cooled air from escaping.\nYou could also be losing air from ductwork that is poorly insulated or sealed. If the ducts are not insulated properly, they will release cooled air into your ceiling and attic spaces and waste energy. The ducts can also eventually form small fissures and tears over time and leak air from these openings, which results in increased energy costs. Air Patrol Air Conditioning specializes in conducting energy audits which includes inspecting your ductwork for any loss of integrity or need for additional insulation.\nSome people mistakenly think that shutting off vents or doors to unused rooms will save on energy costs. This is not the case, and your AC system will actually work harder to compensate for the reduced lack of airflow through the ducts and the home. The uneven air pressure that results from closing off areas in your home can also negatively affect the efficiency of your AC system as it works to deliver air throughout the home.\nThermal curtains are special curtains that block the heat from entering or leaving the areas around your windows. The radiant heat that enters through the glass windows can significantly raise the temperature in your rooms and require your AC system to work harder to keep things cool. Using thermal curtains will reduce the amount of heat penetrating through to your room in direct relation to its insulating ratings.\nAir Patrol Air Conditioning has been providing superior air quality services to the Dallas and Fort Worth communities since 2003. Our NATE-certified technicians are fully trained on all cooling systems, and we can conduct a whole-home energy audit that analyzes your energy usage. We are experienced in installation, repair, and maintenance on all brands, and we are always upfront with estimated costs for our services.

{"text": "Removing a broken screw from a workpiece is arguably one of the most common (and most frustrating!) challenges any professional or DIYer will face. Since a screw can break or be stripped due to a variety of factors, this video illustrates a few different methods you can employ to remove the screw and get back to work, fast! Subscribe to our YouTube Channel to check out more awesome videos like this one!\nUtilizing a center drill (also known as a combination drill & countersink) to remove a broken screw is typically a quick way to make a hole in the center of the screw that will allow you a surface within the screw to 'catch' again (assuming here the screw is stripped or the head of the screw is broken off). This method is ideal when the screw is in a thru hole. Simply insert a center drill into a power drill and drill into the center of the screw, drilling at a slight angle initially to break into the screw's uneven surface. Once the hole is created, you can use a left handed center drill (reversing the rotation of the power drill) to penetrate the new hole you've made to remove the screw.\nMethod 2: UsE A Left Handed Center Drill To Extract A BRoken Screw\nThis method is ideal when a screw is broken in a blind hole, being the screw typically will be 'stuck in place' and this will provide the resistance necessary for a left handed center drill to work effectively. Again utilizing a left handed center drill in a power drill (reversing the rotation of the power drill), align the left handed center drill as closely as possible with the center of the broken screw. Once it catches, simply back it out as illustrated in the video to remove the screw.\nMethod 3: UsE A Drill & EZ OUt Thread extractor\nThis method is ideal when a screw is broken in a blind hole and method 2 has been attempted, but has failed. Use a jobbers drill to drill into the center hole (that the left handed center drill created during your attempt at method 2) and drill completely through the screw, careful to use a drill diameter that will not damage the screw's threads. Once the hole has been created, insert an EZ-Out thread or screw extracting tool and using a tap handle, reverse the screw out of the workpiece to remove it.\nTech Team Pro tip:\nHaving a lot of difficulty removing a screw? There's a good chance you need some heat! Using a torch and applying heat to the screw for a few moments often loosens and softens the hold thread locker that may have been applied to the screw has on it, allowing you to more easily back a screw out of a hole and remove it!\nDownload and print the tap drill chart pdf for a quick reference table that will help you select the right tap and drill for your application, every time!

{"text": "The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is the pride and joy of the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Greifswald. It is the biggest example of its kind, a stellarator being a type of fusion reactor that has gained new interest in recent years.\nIn addition to their current batch of new experiments, the international research team is also reviewing data from the first experiment campaign in 2016. Together with the findings of their new campaign, they hope to better understand the still-obscure science of thermonuclear fusion.\nThe study's author, Shaocheng Liu, published his team's findings in the science journal Physics of Plasmas. In the report, he and his teammates presented the first detailed description of the turbulent plasma found at the outer edge of the stellarator. (Related: MIT researchers working on a nuclear fusion superconductor that will generate carbon-free limitless energy within 15 years.)\nThe Wendelstein 7-X reactor works by bringing ionized helium up to 122 million degrees Fahrenheit (50 million degrees Celsius). The incredibly hot helium is then contained by powerful magnets made from superconductors that are kept at a very cold -454 million degrees F (-270 million degrees C).\nThe superconducting magnets generate magnetic fields that are shaped like helices. This magnetic toroid traps the helium ions within it.\nThe designers of the Wendelstein 7-X took great care in optimizing the fields that comprise the toroidal shape. High-speed charged particles cannot penetrate its surface.\nHowever, the heated plasma confined within the magnetic toroidal field often undergoes turbulence. These disturbances send heat and particles moving across the surfaces of the toroid. Eventually, the disturbed particles will hit the first wall that envelops the plasma.\nA better understanding of the traits of the disruptive turbulence would lead to the creation of more practical fusion reactors that can produce electrical power. While it is very advanced, the Wendelstein 7-X remains an experimental device, a stepping stone to a full-fledged design.\n\"Particles need to be transported to the target, to the outside, and this edge region is very important for particle confinement,\" wrote Liu in the report.\nIn their experiment, Liu's team took the first-ever measurements of the plasma turbulence at the edge of the stellarator. They used a combined probe head on the multi-purpose manipulator of the reactor to determine the characteristics of this scrape-off layer.\nThey reported three items of interest about the plasma turbulence. The first is that the turbulence appeared to propagate in the same direction that the helium ions took.\nThe second is that the spectrum of the turbulence covers the broadband range of frequencies between 240 and 380 kHz. While much lower in terms of fluctuation power than that in the dominant frequency, it also has higher cross-correlation coefficient.\nLast but not least, the characteristics of the turbulence changes to match any alterations in the magnetic arrangement found at the edge of the stellarator.\n\"At the beginning we knew nothing about turbulence behaviors in the Wendelstein 7-X because it's a completely new device,\" Liu remarked. His team quickly learned that they had to consider every single factor in the nuclear reactor when designing their multi-part probe because the 3D structures affected the behavior of the plasma turbulence.\nFor more articles about fusion technology and other technological advances, see NewEnergyReport.com.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "12 new Speed Six models to be handcrafted by Mulliner, the oldest coachbuilder in the world.\nBentley Mulliner is to bring the iconic Speed Six back to life with a new and highly exclusive Continuation Series of 12 cars, each mechanically and aesthetically authentic to the Bentley racers that won Le Mans in 1929 and 1930. Created to honour the achievements of the original cars and while continuing to develop and preserve Mulliner’s heritage skills, the new Speed Sixes will become the second pre-war continuation project in the world after the Blower – both created by Bentley Mulliner.\nThe most successful Bentley racing car of its era, the Speed Six is regarded as one of the most important Bentleys in history, not only further demonstrating the marque’s world-beating performance credentials but also proving the concept of the Grand Tourer – a fast car that remained comfortable and luxurious, and capable of covering huge distances with ease. Every Bentley since has followed the same ethos.\nThe 12-car series has been designed and will be developed and built, by the same team of Mulliner specialists that have created the Blower Continuation Series – the first pre-war continuation project in the world. This acclaimed run of 12 new 4½ litres ‘Blower’ Bentleys was based on the company’s own 1929 Team Car #2 – the most famous and valuable Bentley in the world, which raced alongside the Speed Six in 1930 – and sold out instantly. The same is true of the new Speed Six continuations, with all 12 cars already reserved by lucky customers around the world.\nThe Speed Six Continuation Series was announced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed by Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive, Adrian Hallmark, who comments:\n“After incredible levels of skill were acquired by the Mulliner team through the development of the Blower Continuation Series, and with the success of the cars with their customers, a chance to honour the Speed Six is a fantastic next step. It’s vital that we protect, preserve and develop not just this important part of our heritage, but also the knowledge we’ve gained through working with these classic Bentleys.\nThe Speed Six is one of the most important Bentleys in our 103-year history, and the 12 cars of the Continuation Series will embody the same values as W.O. Bentley’s originals, crafted by hand with the same meticulous attention both to engineering quality and to fanatical attention to detail. The lucky owners will be able to race their cars around the world, and truly relive the exploits of the original Bentley Boys.”\nThe Mulliner team will once again be supported by an incredible array of artisans from a number of automotive heritage specialists across the UK, delivering recreation parts that are not only physically identical but in many cases are crafted using the same techniques used in the 1920s. This dedication to complete and total authenticity is integral to the success of such a complex project.\nThe Speed Six\nA high-performance version of the 6½ Litre, the Speed Six became the most successful racing Bentley, winning Le Mans in 1929 and 1930 at the hands of Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin and Glen Kidston.\nThe Speed Six was an improved version of the 1926 6½ Litre Bentley. W.O. Bentley believed that the best way to increase power was to increase capacity, as opposed to Tim Birkin’s faith in supercharging. He, therefore, developed a new, larger engine to succeed the 4½-litre. With a bore of 100 mm and a stroke of 140 mm, his new straight six had a capacity of almost 6.6 litres.\nIn base form, with a single Smiths five-jet carburettor, twin magnetos and a compression ratio of 4.4:1, the 6½ Litre delivered 147 bhp at 3500 rpm. 362 examples were built at Bentley’s factory in Cricklewood, north London, on a variety of chassis of different lengths depending on the body style requirements of individual customers.\nThe Speed Six chassis was introduced in 1928 as a more sporting version of the 6½ Litre. The engine was modified to liberate more power, with twin SU carburettors, a higher compression ratio and a high-performance camshaft, responsible for an increase to 180 bhp. The Speed Six chassis was available to customers with wheelbases of 138 inches (3,505 mm), 140.5 inches (3,569 mm), and 152.5 inches (3,874 mm), with the short chassis being the most popular. 182 Speed Six models were built between 1928 and 1930.\nThe racing version of the Speed Six had a wheelbase of 11 feet (132 in; 3,353 mm) and a further-developed engine running a compression ratio of 6.1:1 and developing 200 bhp. Two wins at Le Mans in 1929 and 1930 cemented the Speed Six’s place in Bentley history, with the 1929 victory setting a new benchmark for dominance at the race.\nDriven by Woolf Barnato and Sir Henry ‘Tim’ Birkin, a Speed Six led from the first lap until the chequered flag, followed by a procession of three other Bentleys. A new lap record of 7:21 had been set by Birkin, taking 46 seconds off the previous best and requiring an average speed of 83 mph, and in covering 2,844 km a distance record was also attained. Such a dominant performance by one manufacturer was not seen again at Le Mans for nearly 30 years.\nRecreating An Icon\nTo deliver 12 new Speed Sixes that are authentic to the design of the racers of 1929 and 1930, the Mulliner team has first created a complete 3D CAD model of the car, from both the original blueprints and a detailed analysis of the original cars. Two cars have been referenced for this process.\n“Old Number 3” was the third of three Speed Sixes entered by Bentley into Le Mans in 1930. Despite a difficult race it survived the ordeal and has been immaculately preserved since. Still fully road legal and actively raced by its owner today, Old Number 3 has been a valuable source of design details and reference points for the creation of the new cars.\nAlongside Old Number 3, Bentley’s own Speed Six (GU409) – part of Bentley’s expanding Heritage Collection – is a 1929 road car wearing an identical four-seat Vanden Plas body to the original racers and restored to the same specification. GU409 will provide benchmark performance and handling data for the continuation cars, including a full power and torque curve for the 12 new engines to match – or beat.\nThe first new Speed Six in 92 years will be assembled in the second half of this year, and become the engineering test and development car for the project. Speed Six Car Zero will be retained by Bentley, joining Blower Car Zero as the forebears of the families they help to deliver.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "This post is about the quality and certification of solar products.\nI’ve had the opportunity to work in the highly regulated and quality-controlled world of the aerospace industry. In this industry, the FAA keeps close tabs on everything that goes into an airplane (rightfully so as there are huge liabilities as a failed part caused a plane to crash!). The regulation helps to ensure the quality of the airplanes parts.\nNow, when I say regulation, what I’m referring to is a vast network of strict requirements for each product. Each product must adhere precisely to these specifications before it is allowed to be put in an airplane. This includes things like size, workmanship, material, performance… and the list goes on and on.\nNow how does this relate to the solar industry? Compared to aerospace, the solar industry is still in its infancy. But, there are still a ton of independent regulators ensuring the quality of solar products, namely SRCC (Solar Rating & Certification Corporation). A comprehensive list of certifying agencies can be seen here: http://www.solarbuzz.com/ProductCertifications.htm\nSo, what do these certification mean? Some certifications like ISO attempt to assure that your manufacturing processes do not give room for production errors. Others agencies ensure the safety and usefulness of the product.\nLet’s take a solar panel mounting system on the roof of a house.\nWithout knowing much about the product, we could still venture a guess at some of the requirements. The mounting system has to:\n- Be resistant to severe weather\n- Attach to a roof and prevent the solar panels from slipping\n- Be the correct size to hold the solar panel, while being unobtrusive to sunlight\n- Have durability to last the length of a solar panel warranty (>20 years)\nIn order to be certified by the particular agency, the mounting system manufacturer may have to perform tests on their product to prove they pass the requirements. For instance if a manufacturer wishes to prove its mounting system is “resistant to severe weather”, it may have to pass the following environmental tests (these are not actual requirements; they are just an educated guess as to what a mounting system manufacturer might have to prove):\n- Hot and Cold Temperature Cycling\n- Severe Rain and Wind Tests\n- Golf-Ball Sized Hail\n- Lightning Strikes\nIf you don’t think Golf-Ball Sized Hail should be a test, take a look at this video (fast-forward to 1:30).\nThe bottom line is that these tests are necessary, but can be very expensive (another cost delivered down to the consumer). How does one reduce these testing costs? I’ll save this for another post in the near future.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Tire Size 265/70r17 vs 255/75r17\nThe main difference between the two tire sizes is the width and sidewall height. The 255/75R17 tire is 0.4 inches (10 mm) narrower and has a 0.5 inches (13 mm) taller sidewall than the 265/70R17 tire.\n265/70r17 vs 255/75r17\nBy referring to this comparison table, you can better understand the distinctions between 265/70r17 and 255/75r17 tire sizes.\nReplacement tires should be within 3% of the original tire’s overall diameter to avoid issues. The 255/75R17 is 1.4% larger in diameter than the 265/70R17, so it falls within the recommended 3% limit.\nBoth tires should fit most vehicles designed for 17-inch wheels without modifications.\nThe 255/75R17 provides 0.23 inches (5.75 mm) more ground clearance due to its taller sidewall. This extra clearance benefits light off-roading, clearing obstacles, and preventing scraping on uneven roads.\nHowever, the larger diameter causes a 1.4% lower speedometer reading compared to the 265/70R17.\nThe narrower 255/75R17 has a more minor contact patch and less rotational mass, resulting in slightly better fuel efficiency.\nThe wider 265/70R17 has more rolling resistance, decreasing gas mileage. The 255/75R17 is the more efficient choice for daily driving and long trips.\nThe taller 70 aspect ratio sidewall of the 265/70R17 absorbs road impacts better than the shorter 65 aspect ratio of the 255/75R17.\nThis provides a smoother ride over uneven pavement. However, the difference is minor, and both deliver a comfortable ride.\nVisually, the 255/75R17’s taller sidewall gives a slightly “stretched” look compared to the 265/70R17. This can suit the aesthetics of trucks and SUVs well. However, the difference is subtle and subjective.\nHandling & Stability\nThe shorter sidewall and wider tread of the 265/70R17 provide enhanced responsiveness and handling over the taller 255/75R17. But both tires deliver stable handling for regular driving conditions.\nNoise & Vibration\nWith a shorter sidewall, the 265/70R17 transmits more road noise and vibration into the cabin. The taller 255/75R17 sidewall dampens vibrations better for a quieter ride. However, the differences are minor.\nDurability & Wear\nThe narrower 255/75R17 may exhibit slightly more even treadwear and longer life than the wider 265/70R17. The lighter 255/75R17 also causes less strain on suspension components.\nPerformance in snow, ice, rain, and off-road is very similar between the two. The 255/75R17’s narrower tread can cut through to the road surface well in snow/ice.\nThe 265/70R17 provides a bit more traction off-road. Both handle adverse conditions adequately.\nAt an actual vehicle speed of 20 mph, the speedometer reading is slightly lower with 255/75r17 tires compared to 265/70r17 tires. Specifically, the speedometer indicates 20.29 mph with 255 tires and 20.00 mph with 265 tires.\nThis 0.29 mph difference is due to the smaller diameter of the 255 tires. While drivers may notice a minor decrease in indicated speed with the 255, the discrepancy between these tire sizes is relatively small overall.\nOverall, the 265/70R17 and 255/75R17 perform well as tire options, each having minor advantages over the other depending on priorities.\nFor drivers focused on fuel efficiency and a smooth ride, the 255/75R17 is likely the better choice, as its narrower tread width reduces rolling resistance for improved gas mileage.\nAt the same time, its taller sidewall absorbs bumps in the road more effectively. However, for those who value responsive handling and traction in loose terrain, the wider tread and shorter sidewall of the 265/70R17 offer marginally better performance.\nWhen selecting between these two similar sizes, carefully consider your specific vehicle’s typical driving conditions and needs. Consulting the owner’s manual or an experienced tire retailer can help determine which size fits your automotive needs and preferences better.\nWhile both deliver capable real-world performance, subtle differences in size can translate to noticeable variations in fuel economy, ride comfort, handling precision, and off-road capability.\nMeet Caitlin McCormack, a Tire Size Expert and Blogger Passionate About Everything Related to Tires.

The rear shocks should be fine, the accumulators and mounts are fine. The valve MAY be a problem, but very easy way to check it. When on a lifted platform where the wheels are down, adjust the valve and see if it moves up and down, if it moves up and down, it's working fine. Or, you could sit in the trunk and see if it sags or compensates for your weight, if it does, it's fine. You might have air bubbles in the valve/system so just move the valve up and down a couple of cycles to have the car go up and down to get rid of them.

This German Patent Application, whose subject matter is incorporated here by reference, provides the basis for a claim of priority of invention under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d).\nThe present invention relates to a device with a profiled rod and at least one fastening element.\nPublication US 2004/0221923 A1 makes known a device with a profiled rail and two fastening elements for mounting a machine tool and/or a work piece on the profiled rail. Each of the fastening elements includes two clamping jaws, and a first clamping jaw is operatively connected with a spring. The spring serves as clamping means for clamping the clamping jaw onto the profiled rail.\nThe present invention relates to a device with a profiled rail and at least one fastening element of a machine tool and/or a work piece on the profiled rail. The fastening element is provided to grip the sides of the profiled rail; it includes at least one clamping jaw and clamping means operatively connected with the clamping jaw for clamping the clamping jaw onto the profiled rail.\nIt is provided that the clamping means are designed as an eccentric lever.\nBy using leverage to produce a clamping force, a stable hold with a strong clamping force can be attained in a comfortable manner and, in particular, without the use of tools. Advantageously, the fastening element can be prevented from accidentally becoming detached from the profiled rail, which can be dangerous, and which can occur, e.g., with clamped connections produced by spring force. Safety risks can therefore be eliminated when mounting machine tools, in particular, such as circular saws, cross saws or mitre saws.\nThe eccentric lever can include an eccentric cam or a pin or bolt that is positioned eccentrically relative to a fixed swivel axis of the eccentric lever.\nA particularly secure hold can be attained when the clamping means are provided to fix the clamping jaw in a clamped position in a form-fit manner. In this context, the term “provided” should be understood to also mean “designed” and “equipped”. The clamped position of the clamping jaw is characterized, in particular, by a clamping surface of the clamping jaw bearing against a corresponding mounting surface of the profiled rail with a contact force or clamping force.\nA particularly robust fastening element is obtainable when the clamping means are supported in the fastening element such that they are displaceable along a straight line. Highly stressed pivot axes can be prevented in particular.\nWhen a maximum displacement travel of the clamping means is at least so great that the fastening element can be lifted off of the profiled rail when the clamping means are in a released position, the fastening means or machine tool can be connected with the profiled rail in a particularly rapid and convenient manner.\nA particularly dust-resistant fastening device as can be attained using simple design means when the operative connection between the clamping jaw and the clamping means is produced by an eccentric cam integrally formed on the clamping means.\nIn an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the operative connection between the clamping jaw and the clamping means is produced by a connecting rod that is connected eccentrically with the clamping means. As a result, a transfer of force via a body of the fastening element can be prevented.\nWhen the device includes safety locking means for securing the clamping jaw in a clamped position, the clamping means can be effectively prevented from becoming accidentally released.\nWhen the safety locking means automatically engage in the clamping means when the clamped position is reached, it can be ensured that the device cannot be used without actuating the safety locking means. In particular, when the clamping jaw is fixed in its clamped position by the clamping means in a form-fit manner, the leverage of the clamping means can improve the effect of the safety locking means, and, in fact, compared with embodiments of the present invention with which the safety locking means engage in the clamping jaw directly.\nIn an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the safety locking means engage in the connecting rod.\nWhen the device includes a second clamping jaw with a clamping surface designed as mirror image—relative to a plane of symmetry of the profiled rail—of a clamping surface of the first clamping jaw, it is possible to choose any orientation of the fastening element relative to the profiled rail. As a result, the device can be adapted to various applications in a more flexible manner. In addition, asymmetric wear can be prevented.\nA particularly large variety of machine tools and/or work pieces can be mounted on the profiled rail using the fastening element when the device includes at least one threaded plate that is displaceable relative to a frame of the fastening element. By displacing the threaded plate, the fastening element can be adapted to various hole patterns in the machine tool and/or the work piece without the need to create additional holes.\nParticularly easy installation of the fastening element on the machine tool and/or the work piece can be attained when the displaceable threaded plate is accessible from both sides of the frame of the fastening element, and/or when the frame includes an engagement recess in the region of the displaceable threaded plate. The device can form a complete, portable work bench when the profiled rail is equipped with collapsible support legs. User comfort can be enhanced further when the profiled rail is equipped with a handle.\nWhen the profiled rail includes a holding device for holding a screw tool, transport and set-up of the device, e.g., at a work site, can be simplified.\nWhen the profiled rail includes a fastening groove for mounting a machine tool and/or a work piece, the spectrum of applications for the profiled rail can be expanded.\nTransport can be made even more comfortable when the profiled rail is equipped with a handle.\nFurther advantages result from the description of the drawing, below. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawing. The drawing, the description and the claims contain numerous features in combination. One skilled in the art will also advantageously consider the features individually and combine them to form further reasonable combinations.\nPortable work bench includes two fastening elements 12 a, 12 a′, which can be clamped onto profiled rail 10 a. Any type of machine tool, particularly electrical machine tools, and work pieces can be screwed onto fastening elements 12 a, 12 a′, or they can be connected with fastening elements 12 a, 12 a′ in any other manner deemed suitable by one skilled in the art. The machine tool or the work piece can then be connected with profiled rail 10 a comfortably and rapidly using fastening elements 12 a, 12 a′.\nFastening element 12 a includes—on its underside 20 a facing profiled rail 10 a—a first, movable clamping jaw 22 a and a second, fixed clamping jaw 24 a. Clamping means 26 a operatively connected with first, movable clamping jaw 22 a are located at one end of longitudinal fastening element 12 a and are designed as a pivotable eccentric lever capable of pivoting around a pivot axis 32 a extending parallel to a longitudinal axis 28 a of profiled rail 10 a.\nA top side 34 a of fastening element 12 a that faces away from profiled rail 10 a when in the installed state includes a first threaded plate 36 a capable of being displaced along longitudinal axis 30 a of fastening element 12 a and along longitudinal axis 28 a of profiled rail 10 a, and a second threaded plate 38 a, which is fixed in position relative to a frame 40 a of fastening element 12 a (\nFirst clamping jaw 22 a is supported in fastening element 12 a such that it can be displaced along a straight line, and it is connected with clamping means 26 a via a connecting rod 42 a. Connecting rod 42 a is connected with clamping means 26 a via a bolt such that it can pivot around pivot axis 32 a. Clamping means 26 a include an eccentric cam 66 a, which bears against a support tab 74 a of frame 40 a, thereby enabling a swiveling motion of clamping means 26 a to be transferred—by eccentric cam 66 a gliding over support tab 74 a—into a reciprocating motion of connecting rod 42 a and clamping jaw 22 a connected via a connecting bolt with connecting rod 42 a (\nClamping jaws 22 a, 24 a include clamping surfaces 44 a, 46 a designed as mirror images of each other, which bear against fastening ridges 48 a, 50 a of profiled rail 10 a in a clamped position (\nSafety locking means 54 a with an integrally formed pin 56 a, which are spring-loaded, rod-shaped, and displaceable parallel to longitudinal axis 28 a of profiled rail 10 a, are located in the region of clamping means 26 a, and they automatically engage in clamping means 26 a when clamping means 26 a reach the clamped position (\nShortly before the clamped position is reached, the reciprocating motion of connecting rod 42 a passes an apex, so that clamping means 26 a fix clamping jaw 22 a in the clamped position in a form-fit manner. In the clamped position, a bore hole in clamping means 26 a overlaps a pin 56 a of safety locking means 54 a, so that the latter automatically snaps into place and engages in clamping means 26 a. To release clamping means 26 a, a user can push safety locking means 54 a back against the force of a spring by pressing on an end 58 a of safety locking means 54, thereby allowing clamping means 26 a to be released.\nIn an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the safety locking means engage in connecting rod 42 a.\nIn a released configuration, in which clamping surfaces 44 a, 46 a are further away from each other—by displacement travel 70 a (FIG. 7)—than in the clamped position, a distance between clamping surfaces 44 a, 46 a is at a maximum and exceeds a maximum width 60 a between fastening ridges 48 a, 50 a of profiled rail 10 a, thereby enabling the machine tool and/or work piece to be lifted—together with fastening elements 12 a, 12 a′—in a vertical direction off of profiled rail 10 a. Similarly, the machine tool and/or work piece can be placed on profiled rail 10 a in the vertical direction when clamping means 26 a are released.\nAn operative connection that exists between clamping means 26 b and a first, movable clamping jaw 22 b is generated by an eccentric cam 66 b integrally formed on clamping means 26 b; eccentric cam 66 b glides along a corresponding mounting surface of clamping jaw 22 b. For clamping, clamping jaw 22 b is pressed onto a profiled rail 10 b in the longitudinal direction of a fastening element 12 b (\n|Brevet cité||Date de dépôt||Date de publication||Déposant||Titre|\n|US4527786 *||22 déc. 1982||9 juil. 1985||Hsu Wen C||Workbench|\n|US5018562||21 déc. 1989||28 mai 1991||Adams Phillip A||Power tool fence system|\n|US5443554||24 nov. 1993||22 août 1995||Robert; Denis||Positioning device for woodwork|\n|US5626321 *||27 févr. 1995||6 mai 1997||Ulshafer, Jr.; Carl||Woodworking portable tool mounting assembly for sawhorse|\n|US5716045||27 juil. 1995||10 févr. 1998||Taylor Design Group, Inc.||Universal precision positioning jig with micro positioning capability|\n|US5768966||21 nov. 1996||23 juin 1998||Duginske; Mark A.||Woodworking machinery jig and fixture system|\n|US5836365 *||19 juin 1997||17 nov. 1998||Tracrac, Inc.||Portable work bench having multiple accessories|\n|US5884681 *||29 déc. 1997||23 mars 1999||Nickles; Steven R.||Method and apparatus for connecting or securing a power tool with respect to a work surface|\n|US5988243||8 déc. 1998||23 nov. 1999||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|US6058990 *||24 sept. 1996||9 mai 2000||Kent; Frank Michael John||Multi-functional worktable systems|\n|US6293176 *||9 juin 1999||25 sept. 2001||S-B Power Tool Company||Dual sliding rail and locking mechanism for use with a table saw|\n|US6334743 *||9 févr. 2000||1 janv. 2002||Liao Yung-Chuan||High-speed rotary machine|\n|US6481477||3 janv. 2002||19 nov. 2002||Credo Tool Company||Fence assembly for a router table|\n|US6595251 *||20 mai 2002||22 juil. 2003||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|US6748987 *||30 mai 2003||15 juin 2004||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|US7036540 *||22 avr. 2004||2 mai 2006||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|US7201192 *||25 juin 2003||10 avr. 2007||Dino Makropoulos||Extendable woodworking system|\n|US7210510 *||9 juil. 2004||1 mai 2007||Tracrac, Inc.||Work bench|\n|US7222648 *||26 août 2005||29 mai 2007||Durq Machinery Corp.||Bracket assembly for mobile stand|\n|US7458403 *||27 janv. 2003||2 déc. 2008||Wolfcraft Gmbh||Tool stand with support frame|\n|US20030056631||6 sept. 2002||27 mars 2003||Duginske Mark A.||Woodworking machinery jig and fixture system|\n|US20040221923||22 avr. 2004||11 nov. 2004||Welsh Robert P.||Portable work bench|\n|USD471287 *||1 août 2001||4 mars 2003||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|EP1275476A2||10 juil. 2002||15 janv. 2003||Black & Decker Inc.||Portable work bench|\n|Classification aux États-Unis||144/286.1, 144/286.5|\n|6 juil. 2007||AS||Assignment|\nOwner name: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH, GERMANY\nFree format text: ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST;ASSIGNOR:BREITENBACH, JAN;REEL/FRAME:019522/0018\nEffective date: 20070612\n|26 sept. 2017||MAFP|\nFree format text: PAYMENT OF MAINTENANCE FEE, 4TH YEAR, LARGE ENTITY (ORIGINAL EVENT CODE: M1551)\nYear of fee payment: 4", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Red eTap Blip Shift Buttons\nSRAM's Red eTap system has taken the cycling world by storm. With it's wireless electronic shifting system, eTap represents a new frontier in shifting performance. The system uses Airea, a proprietary 128 bit transmission system that encrypts each set-up with it's own code, so it cannot be tampered with. The standard shift levers or a control unit called the Blip Box supply the sending signal power, so SRAM developed their satellite shifters for road or aero use as simple wired plug in units. A push of the Blip Shift Button means the shifter or Blip Box will immediately signal to the derailleurs to make the shift. Simple.\nWith sprinters, climbers and virtually any rider having their own preferences where satellite shifters should be mounted, there are multiple wire lengths available to keep the installation clean. Blip buttons can be mounted out in the open, or even under handlebar tape. Each button has a direct line plug. Each eTap shifter has 2 ports for Blip use, so you can have both Blips located both on the drop and the bar top if you like. This pack is sold with 2 Blips, but they are individual units, so you can use them however you choose. One for the front shifter, one for the rear, etc. If you are using a Blip Box for aerobar set-ups, you have all the same options.\nSimply measure the distance in millimeters from the shifter or Blip Box location to the spot where you want to mount the Blip along the surface of the handlebar or aerobar. Then select the appropriate length or lengths that best suit your needs. Once you plug in, you are ready to go, just secure the Blip via the sticky back adhesive and wrap. If you are positioning the Blip outside a taped area, you can opt for rubber Blip Mounts that fasten around the bar. Incredibly simple, entirely user friendly in all regards, and only with Red eTap from SRAM.Return to Top\n- Pair of 2 wired satellite shift buttons for SRAM eTap system\n- Cable ends plug directly into shifter body (up to 2 per) or Blip Box (4 per, for aerobars)\n- Can be mounted anywhere you like, and even covered by handlebar tape\n- Measure from desired location to shifter or Blip Box for length required\n- Always order up if you fall between lengths for more flexibility\n- Hard wired Blip signal is wirelessly sent to derailleur through secure AIREA system\n- System is weatherproof\n- Sold in pair of individual Blips\n- Select length: 130mm, 250mm 450mm, 650mm", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "If you live in Nevada, you are accustomed to the wild swings in temperature from summer to winter. While you need cooler air in summer, it is equally important to have your heater running smoothly in the winter as well. Most people install their heaters but don’t maintain them. This is not recommended and can lead to several issues and repairs. Here are some of the most common heater problems that Nevada locals face.\nThe most common problem you can face with your heater is with its filters. They are a crucial part of the HVAC system because they facilitate air flow and allow the system to function properly. Filters can accumulate dust over time and should to be regularly checked and replaced as needed.\nIf your heater is making a lot of disturbing noise, it may be because of a clogged heater or worn out parts in your system. Abnormal noises can be a sign of a greater issue, so it’s best to get the problem checked out right away. You should have a professional HVAC technician take a look at the system and resolve the problem.\nWear and Tear\nRegular wear and tear of your heater is normal. However, the degree depends on your heater brand and how well you maintain it. Most people don’t realize that scheduling regular HVAC maintenance is one of the best ways to prolong the life of your heater. A professional Nevada heating service like Action Air Conditioning, Inc. can help you.\nHigh Utility Bills\nIf your utility bills are much higher than usual in winter, it may be time to look at how your heater is functioning. First, you should ensure that your ducts are not leaking warm air. Do you need to invest in an energy efficient model? If the problem is not with your ducts, the heater itself could be responsible. If your heater is no longer running efficiently, replacing it will help you save energy and reduce your heating bills in the winter.\nIf all your rooms in your home are not consistently heated, it may be a sign that something is off in your heating system. Maybe it needs repair or replacement. Or perhaps your old heating system is not able to keep up with your set temperature requirements for all rooms and is only heating the ones closer to it.\nAction Air Conditioning, Inc. is family-owned and operated heating and air-conditioning services company.

{"text": "Design of Integrated Nanostructured Wicks for High-Performance Vapor Chambers\nDate of this Version6-2011\nIEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging and Manufacturing Technology ( Volume: 1, Issue: 6, June 2011 )\nThe performance of passive phase-change cooling devices, such as vapor chambers or heat pipes, may be significantly enhanced by exploiting the superior thermal properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays. The potential for large reductions in overall package resistance with the use of high-conductivity wick materials enhanced with CNT nanostructures is investigated. While such nanostructured wicks feature very small pore sizes that support high capillary pressures, it is shown that the high fluid flow resistance through these dense arrays prevents their use as the lone fluid transport mechanism. It is proposed that evaporator surfaces comprised of nanostructured wicks fed by interspersed conventional wick materials (such as sintered powders) can provide the required permeability for fluid flow while simultaneously decreasing the effective evaporator thermal resistance. Optimization of wicks with integrated sintered and nanostructured areas requires a study of the trade-offs between the greater permeability of the sintered materials and the greater capillary pressure and thin-film evaporation area offered by the nanostructures. A numerical model is developed to estimate the thermal resistance of the evaporator region compared to that of a homogeneous sintered powder wick. The inputs needed for this model include the permeability and the capillary pressure in the two regions. A parametric study is conducted as a function of the ratio of conduction and evaporative resistances for the nanostructured and sintered regions. For a given heat input, the optimal liquid-feeding geometry that minimizes thermal resistance is obtained. In the best cases, the thermal resistance is reduced by a factor of thirteen through the use of the integrated nanostructured wicks compared to the resistance of a homogeneous sintered powder wick.\nNanoscience and Nanotechnology", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Small, autonomous flying drones, also called uninhabited air vehicles or UAVs, have the potential to greatly expand our ability to gather information in complex environments where larger vehicles cannot operate. Their missions include delivering medical supplies in the urban canopy, search and rescue in disaster sites such as collapsed structures, collecting climate-change data in forests, and inspecting facilities such as wind turbines. To succeed, they must be highly maneuverable and handle gusts within the atmospheric boundary layer, as well as air disturbances from structures. These UAVs fly in a low-to-moderate Reynolds number regime where the flow may separate over their wings and roll up into vortices associated with unsteady forces, particularly during maneuvers and gusts. Moreover, their wings typically have low aspect ratios (ARs), making the flow highly 3D. Recent research has examined strategies to manage canonical gust types, e.g., wing pitching through a transverse gust to offset the variations in the effective angle of attack. This talk focuses on the use of a simple morphing-tip planform or shape, roughly inspired by birds or bats, to alleviate the lift-force changes from streamwise (headwind or tailwind) gusts. It rotates in-plane from a leading-edge pivot and employs sweep to promote vortex attachment. Scaled experiments are done on a low-AR translating wing in a water towing tank, which surges forward or decelerates to emulate gusts. The motorized panel is retracted or extended, respectively, to help offset lift variations from simple step-up or step-down changes in streamwise velocity. A transducer measures the unsteady lift, and dye visualization is used to visualize the separated flow including vortex structures. Recent 3D velocimetry measurements will be shown which quantitatively characterize the flow, to help explain the tip-panel performance.\nDr. Matthew Ringuette\nHe has a B.S. in Aeronautical & Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and both his M.S. and Ph.D. in Aeronautics from Caltech, graduating in 2004.

{"text": "\"We will never give up,\" says Mitsuo Hitomi, general manager of Mazda's powertrain division, referring to the automaker's long-running investment into the rotary engine. This vote of confidence in Felix Wankel's replacement for displacement will surely come as welcome news to rotor-heads the world over, but that doesn't mean there aren't problems in World of Wankel.\nApparently, the so-called 16X engine, which is the latest take on the pony-keg-sized engine that spins into the stratosphere, is failing to meet emissions requirements set by the engineering team at Mazda, despite the fact that it is 30 percent more fuel efficient than the previous Renesis rotary. Impressively, Hitomi stated that the 1.6-liter 16X is slightly more fuel efficient than the automaker's standard 2.0-liter gas engine.\nIt would seem that the rotary's well-known thirst for fuel has at least partly been quenched, but until the 16X is tuned to hit its emissions targets we can expect it to stay in the engineering department and off the showroom floor. So, when might we see a new rotary-powered machine from Mazda? \"Maybe within two years we can tell you when we will introduce it to the market,\" responds Hitomi.\nNow, let the debate continue as to what kind of body and platform that engine will be featured in...\n[Source: Automotive News – Sub.

{"text": "The GT-R and Italdesign both celebrate their 50th anniversary this year, so Nissan and the Italian design house decided to collaborate on a very special project. The result is the striking GT-R50 by Italdesign, a one-off build to celebrate all things GT-R as well as show off the talents of Italdesign's crew.\nRight off the bat we'll tell you that the GT-R50 isn't the next-generation R36 GT-R. That point was stressed by Nissan design boss Alfonso Albaisa, who described the car as a GT-R without limits.\n“Although this is not the next-generation GT-R, it is an exciting celebration of two anniversaries in a provocative and creative way—wrapping one of Nissan’s best engineering platforms and Japanese design with Italian coachbuilding,” he said in a statement.\nNissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show\nWe wouldn't rule out some design elements making it onto a future GT-R, however. If you compare it with Nissan's Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo from 2014 (shown above), you'll notice similarities such as the wedge-shaped headlights, floating taillights and curved rear wing.\nWe were told it was actually Nissan design teams that came up with the lines for the exterior and cabin, with Italdesign then tasked with making those lines a reality.\nStarting at the front, the GT-R50 features a distinct golden inner element that stretches across almost the full width of the vehicle. The hood has a more pronounced power bulge, and the thin LED headlights stretch from the wheel arch to the lip above the outer cooling intakes.\nTo give the car a sleeker look, the roof was lowered by about two inches, and moving to the rear the designers added an expanse of gold trim to emphasize the muscular flares around the wheels. In a dramatic fashion, the rear window line descends longer and deeper than on the standard car. A unique set of wheels, measuring 21 inches across and wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, further accentuate the car's bold stance.\nInside, two different carbon fiber finishes were used across the center console, instrument panel and door linings, along with a combination of Alcantara and leather. Gold accents echo the exterior treatment across the instrument panel, doors and new switchgear. The final touch was a race car-style digital instrument cluster to replace the standard unit of the GT-R.\nAs our heading reveals, performance of the car was boosted substantially. The familiar 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 now pumps out 710 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque, up on the 600 hp and 481 lb-ft of the GT-R Nismo.\nNissan GT-R50 by Italdesign\nKey powertrain upgrades included larger diameter turbochargers borrowed from the GT3 race car, a larger intercooler, revised camshaft profiles, high-flow fuel injectors, and stronger internals (crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods and bearings). The ignition, intake and exhaust systems were also all optimized, and the six-speed dual-clutch transmission, drive shaft and differentials were all also beefed up to handle the extra grunt.\nIn other words, GT-R tuning done right.\nNissan said the GT-R50 will make a formal debut in July at an event in Europe.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "As electric vehicles (EVs) become a real alternative to cars that use fossil fuels for power, researchers continue to work to improve the performance of EV batteries.\nTo this end, a team of researchers at Stanford University—working with automobile manufacturer Toyota through the Toyota Research Institute—has developed a method of machine learning that can test batteries based on performance during the development process.\nFrom left, the team that created a new machine-learning technique to reduce the time it takes to design EV batteries: Stanford Professor William Chueh, Toyota Research Institute scientist Muratahan Aykol, Stanford PhD student Aditya Grover, Stanford PhD alumnus Peter Attia, Stanford Professor Stefano Ermon and TRI scientist Patrick Herring. (Image source: Farrin Abbott)\nThe new technique—invented by a team led by Stanford professors Stefano Ermon and William Chueh—can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to test batteries, paving the way for more efficient development of longer-lasting, faster-charging EV batteries.\nChueh said the impetus for his team to develop the method was the current pace of research and development in the field of creating new EV technologies, which he said is quite slow. This is due to the evaluation time it takes to evaluate EV batteries during the development process, which can take months or even years to determine how long the devices will last, Chueh said.\n“We were inspired by the pace of R&D for battery technology, which typically takes several years per year,” he told Design News. “This pace is dominated by both the long lifetime of batteries as well as the large design space that must be explored.”\nCutting Development Time\nTo hasten development by reducing evaluation times, the team created a software program that, based on only a few charging cycles, can predict how batteries would respond to different charging approaches, Chueh told us.\n“We have developed a machine-learning platform which substantially reduces battery optimization time by predicting battery lifetime using minimal testing data and by intelligently exploring the design space--specifically, avoiding part of the design space that generates undesired results,” he explained to Design News.\nThe software also can decide in real time what charging approaches to focus on or ignore, which means it minimizes both the length and number of trials a battery must go through, Chueh said. Using their technique, researchers managed to cut the testing process from almost two years to 16 days.\nWhile the team tested their method on battery charge speed, researchers said it can be applied to numerous other parts of the battery development pipeline and even to non-energy technologies.\nResearchers published a paper on their work in the journal Nature.\nThe team eyes using its approach to accelerate nearly every aspect of the battery-development pipeline: from design to form factor to the manufacturing process.\n“Developing batteries that can meet multiple metrics simultaneously, such as energy density, fast charging, and safety, is challenging,” Chueh acknowledged. “In this work, we demonstrate that it’s possible to optimize batteries for fast charging--approaching the refueling time of gas cars--requiring 30 times less time compared to conventional optimization approaches.”\nResearchers also believe their work can broad implications not only for EVs but for other types of energy storage, even in the area of developing storage solutions that can expand the use renewable energy like solar and wind on a global scale.\nElizabeth Montalbano is a freelance writer who has written about technology and culture for more than 20 years.

The plug-in sports hybrid is now available in a Roadster for the first time, alongside a facelifted Coupé version, which TechCentral took out for a spin this week.\nThe 2018 i8 Coupé is a refresh of the original and features increased battery capacity for the electric motor — up dramatically from 20Ah to 34Ah. This takes the pure electric range from a claimed 30km to 55km on the Coupé (it’s 53km on the Roadster).\nThe output of the electric motor is 105kW, and combined with the 1.5l turbo-petrol engine’s 170kW, it delivers a maximum 275kW of power. This allows you to go from 0-100km/h in a blistering 4.4s on the Coupé, and 4.6s on the Roadster — with a top speed of 250km/h (electronically governed).\nContinue reading here: https://techcentral.co.za/bmw-i8-coupe-all-charged-up/83608/\nListen to the podcast here: https://techcentral.co.za/cars-gadgets-we-drive-bmws-insane-i8-coupe/83610/\nRecharged is an independent site that focuses on technology, electric vehicles, and the digital life by Nafisa Akabor.

Once the ATS panel has determined that the generator voltage is within a healthy operating range, the switch will disconnect the load from the mains (Grid), before reconnecting it to the generator supply. When the mains (Grid) AC supply has been healthy for a predefined stabilisation period, the switch will disconnect the load from the generator before reconnecting to the mains (Grid) AC.\nThe ATS3 panel is designed to work with all controllers in the AJ Power range. The system simply requires a three wire connection between the ATS3 panel and the Genset Control panel. The system utilises a motorised switch which breaks the load connection with each supply before transferring it to the other. This means there is no risk of connecting the two supplies together.\nThe wall mounting ATS3 panels are available in the following ratings.\n630ABack to News", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Messe Stuttgart and the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW), are ready to assume responsibility for organising the event for production engineering in Hamburg, NORTEC. The announcement follows the conclusion of discussions with the previous organiser, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.\n“For Messe Stuttgart, the future orientation of NORTEC is another important milestone in the expansion of the company’s portfolio in the industrial sector,” said Roland Bleinroth, president of Messe Stuttgart. “We are pleased to be able to contribute our trade fair experiences from the successful industrial events in Stuttgart, which were successfully developed with our long- standing partner the VDW, to the expansion of NORTEC as the leading platform for industrial production technology in north Germany. This proven recipe for success will now also be implemented with total commitment in Hamburg.”\nThe VDW also welcomed this development: “The takeover of NORTEC by two highly competent organisers, i.e. Messe Stuttgart and the VDW, will open up new opportunities to further strengthen NORTEC and extend the platform for production engineering in north Germany. As both a long-standing organiser of trade fairs in production engineering and a trade association, we are convinced that we can make a valuable contribution to the further development of NORTEC with our expertise and our international network,” said Dr Markus Heering, managing director of the VDW.\nBernd Aufderheide, president and CEO of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, added: “Hamburg is one of the most important industrial regions in Europe. This industry has found an important platform with NORTEC in our exhibition halls. Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH continually examines how events can be maintained and, above all, expanded at the venue. Since Messe Stuttgart has been staging a very successful exhibition, i.e. AMB, on the same topic in its halls for many years, we believe that a large number of synergies can be exploited for NORTEC. We are very confident that the VDW and Messe Stuttgart will enhance the event with their experience, their network and their innovative capacity, and will offer everyone involved in NORTEC a first-class trade fair. NORTEC is and will remain in good hands in Hamburg. That’s important.”\nLars Reeder, managing director of Hein & Oetting Feinwerktechnik and chairman of the NORTEC trade fair advisory board, also commented on the change: “As the trade fair advisory board, we have monitored and shaped NORTEC over a period of many years. The decision to hand over responsibility for NORTEC to Messe Stuttgart and the VDW was taken carefully and offers great opportunities for the further development of the trade fair. As the trade fair advisory board, we will also naturally continue to play our part.”\nMesse Stuttgart and the VDW say they aim to extend the topic areas of NORTEC and enhance its profile in the medium term. The VDW is therefore bringing METAV (International Exhibition for Metal Working Technologies) into NORTEC. “A large number of exhibitors want to see consolidation on the trade fair market so that they can pool their products and services. We are very pleased to support this through the new constellation,” said Dr Heering.\nThe handover of NORTEC took effect on 12 July.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Scientists said recently they had made a nanotech device to strip salt from seawater, paving the way to small-scale or even battery-powered desalination for drought-hit regions and disaster zones.\nConventional desalination works by forcing water through a membrane to remove molecules of salt.\nBut this process is an energy-gobbler and the membrane is prone to clogging, which means that desalination plants are inevitably big, expensive, fixed pieces of kit.\nThe new gadget has been given a proof-of-principle test at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).\nIt works through so-called ion concentration polarisation, which occurs when a current of charged ions is passed through an ion-selective membrane. The idea is to create a force that moves charged ions and particles in the water away from the membrane.\nWhen the water passes through the system, salt ions — as well as cells, viruses and micro-organisms — get pushed to the side. This saltier water is then drawn off, leaving only desalted water to pass through the main microchannel.\nThe tiny device had a recovery rate of 50 per cent, meaning that half of the water used at the start was desalinated. Ninety nine per cent of the salt in this water was removed.\nEnergy efficiency was similar to or better than state-of-the-art, large-scale desalination plants.\n“Rather than competing with larger desalination plants, the methods could be used to make small- or medium-scale systems, with the possibility of battery-powered operation,” their paper, published by the journal Nature Nanotechnology, suggests. — AFP\nCourtesy: The Hindu", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "We take a look at the top 5 ’70s cars we have sold through our service. The decade was an interesting time for the motoring world, having seen lots of new features become a constant on some cars such as turbochargers and new aerodynamic design. Muscle cars gained a cult status whilst on the other hand, the automotive industry was sent into shock from the Suez oil crisis.\nThere is no denying that this car has everything and was one of the first cars to be mass-produced the turbocharger after attempts by some manufacturers in the ’60s. These cars are highly desirable on the market today, having only been produced in limited numbers due to the oil crisis. The media had a field day with this car, labelling BMW as being totally irresponsible due to the economical landscape at the time, and who can forget the reverse lettering on the front bumper.\nWe helped Surjit, a friend of Trade Classics and a long admirer of this beautiful classic, sell his 2002 Turbo (pictured at the top of the page). We are also helping Nick sell his 2002 Turbo who has owned the car for an incredible 34 years!\nAfter the designer was hoping to use this incredible aerodynamic design as a bid to win the Ford GT40 project was later rejected, Lotus took up the opportunity to produce the Europa in the late ’60s. With the success of Lotus in the Formula 1 championship along with sponsors John Player Special, the manufacturer decided to remember the famous victory of 1972 with a very special limited edition model on the twin cam version.\nWe helped the owner Mark sell his collection of cars and we were delighted when we sold this very rare example. A little fun fact for you, we managed to get over 35,000 views on our ‘On the Road’ video from this car, with the majority of these views coming from Japan!\nThis car became Triumph’s most popular car as its production was coming to an end with around 94,000 being produced. Assembled close to our HQ in Coventry, England, the car is stunning. Personally, for me, this car is the prettiest of the Triumph bunch and offered a lot with its 2.5L straight 6 engine. The car finished production in 1976 and I would love to own and drive one in the future.\nWe found Alan’s TR6 a new home after he owned the car for 3 years, buying the car from a garage that performed a full restoration on the car, possibly being one of the best examples in the country.\nA quirky-looking Porsche that makes heads turn both ways. A collaberative project from Volkswagen and Porsche, the car was mainly sold through US VW dealerships back in the day. Now gaining a lot of popularity, these cars are quite affordable and look to be a fantastic daily driver.\nTony used his car for track days with his friends and for pleasure when he had the chance to. He was sad to see it go but knows he is moving into a new home soon and did not have the space to keep it.\nThe R107’s are as solid as anything out there. Not as beautiful as its predecessor (W113), the car had more of a square design that did not allow as much rust to gather. The engine was also known to travel for long distances without as many complications.\nHaving sold a few of these German brutes through our great friend Paul, we expect to see some more coming soon through Trade CLassics.\nThank you for reading this article.

{"text": "Here are five SUVs you could take on the Jeep Trackhawk with.\nThe Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is going to be nutty. As in a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that makes over 700 horsepower nutty. Now the SUV weighs in at up to 5,100 pounds, which is a lot. But if the Challenger at about 500 pounds less can do the quarter mile in just under 11 seconds then the Trackhawk has a decent shot at posting some impressive times as well. With a V8 like that, setting records is going to be important. It makes one wonder: What if every American car company gave an SUV its biggest and baddest power plant?\nFor the Jeep Wrangler, let's just drop in the Hellcat. Why not? Jeep already did just that so it's not like this is the craziest idea ever. The Grand Cherokee weighs up to 5,000 pounds, while the Wrangler is as skinny as 3,800 pounds. Couple that beautiful number with 707 horsepower and that's a big deal. With 4WD, proper gearing and at 700 pounds lighter than the Challenger Hellcat, the Jeep Wrangler Hellcat could shave the muscle car's quarter-mile time of 10.85 seconds down to something closer to light speed. OK, probably not light speed. But it could mean a Wrangler that's faster than a Challenger.\nAs it stands the Lincoln MKC comes with either a turbocharged EcoBoost 2.0-liter inline-four with 240 horsepower or a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with 280 horses. The displacement difference is based on FWD or AWD. That's all well and good, but what about an engine that delivers 400 horsepower? Lincoln is putting into the MKZ its very own 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine rated at 400 horsepower. With the MKC weighing up to 4,000 pounds you can bet it won't need any sort of chassis reinforcement to handle the extra power. It wouldn't be too quick for drag racing, but with AWD it could become a refined track animal.\nHow about the new GMC Terrain? It already comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine. It's even got more power to start than the MKC, about 300 horses worth. So how could the Terrain be improved upon under the hood? Well it is a GMC, so dropping in the 6.6-liter turbo diesel V8 that currently belongs to the Sierra 2500HD makes a lot of sense. It doesn't make much sense that the most powerful option for such a behemoth is a diesel, though. Most of the time, with trucks anyway, the regular gasoline V8s have more horsepower than a diesel option, but we're not here to argue. It does have a turbocharger after all. With the proper gearing, burnouts would be not only possible but probable.\nChevy's Traverse is next up. It looks like a cozy SUV and comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine producing 285 horsepower. The thing weighs up to almost 5,000 pounds though, so it could use a little extra juice. Nothing the new Corvette ZR1 engine couldn't handle. That of course means a superchagred, 6.2-liter V8 good for 650 hp. Ideally this setup would grant the Traverse proper (crazy) highway passing speed, plus it would be awesome to be able to say you have an SUV with a Corvette engine. In stock guise, the Traverse, with its 285 horsepower, can do the quarter mile in an abysmal 15 seconds, but that 650 horsepower from the ZR1 engine should help it out. Why not throw in AWD as well and create a mini Hellcat-SUV challenger?\nFord's Explorer is another beast that is just far too low on power for its size. A high-powered version of this would be complete with any number of Mustang engines. That includes the Mustang GT's 5.0-liter V8 with 430 horsepower, or perhaps the new GT350's 526-horsepower naturally aspirated V8. A more interesting option could be the Powerstroke 6.7-liter turbo diesel. It packs only 440 horsepower but makes a whopping 860 lb-ft of torque. The Mustang options would be more conventional, but a big and powerful diesel could be more fun.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "08 April 2024\nNetherlands lags behind in artificial intelligence\n- AI (artificial intelligence)\n- About Brainport\n\"You cannot avoid digitalization if you want to speed up innovation.\"\n“Think of our applications as the pen and the paper of engineers,” in the words of Piet van Dongen of Siemens Digital Software begins. At the end of last year, Siemens Digital Software moved from the Den Bosch to Brainport Industries Campus (BIC), both in the south of the Netherlands. The company develops software solutions that enable manufacturers to improve their entire design and production process. From idea to production, all fully digitalized. And that’s not a bad thing, because this makes Siemens one of the top ten software companies in the world. “For engineers, these digital tools are what electricity is to a factory. You cannot avoid it if you want to speed up innovation,” he explains.\nSiemens Digital Software took around 150 people with it when it moved. According to Van Dongen, they are now even closer to where it is all happening: “Not only are there a lot of innovative companies in this region, but an environment is being created here on campus where innovation is given plenty of room. It is an energy-rich environment where collaborations arise from all kinds of companies and disciplines. Moreover, we also have a lot of space here on campus to organize workshops, training sessions, or other events. There’s R&D, education, and industry, that combination is the driving force here. Students from the various educational institutes at BIC are also involved in these collaborations.”\nOne of these collaborations on campus is the High Tech Software Cluster. This is where companies work together on smart products, services, and business models that they develop using advanced software. Siemens has recently become involved in this as well. Inside a field lab, the company design and make a variety of tools that are made available to companies active in this collaboration. For example, software to digitally simulate production processes. But the company also supports educational institutes and student teams such as InMotion and Solar Team Eindhoven with their solutions. Companies outside the field lab can also come and see for themselves what the possibilities are.\nVan Dongen: “On campus, we don’t only try to attract potential customers. This is where the engineers of the future are trained. We think it is important that students are already given the opportunity to learn how to work with the latest software and technology during their education. It enables a better fit with the business world and a stronger position in the labor market for students. We see this as a long-term investment.”\nVan Dongen is aware that more and more industrial processes will be digital in the future. It already starts with an idea that is worked out in 3D. “You cannot avoid digitalization if you want to speed up innovation. It enables engineers not only to work out an idea but also to test, simulate, and ultimately validate digitally whether an idea works in practice,” he points out.\n“Suppose I were to design a bottling machine for a beer brewer. With a digital twin from the brewery, I can let my machine run trials digitally. This way I can immediately see if it fits in with the rest of the process. If it doesn’t, I can make adjustments relatively cheaply, without having to first build physical prototypes.”\nThe software also monitors the performance of the bottling machine even while it is running in the factory. “What is the temperature? Is it not getting too hot? What is the condition of certain parts? Production is constantly monitored via sensors linked to an Internet of Things platform (IoT). By analyzing the collected data, manufacturers can not only optimize their production. But they can also make predictions about the condition of the machine and consequently carry out preventive maintenance.”\nAccording to Van Dongen this improves the ‘up-time’ of a factory. “This prevents the factory from coming to a standstill unnecessarily because parts have not been replaced in time. For example, this principle is already being applied in offshore wind farms, where the prompt replacement of certain bearings prevents more serious damage.”\nThis digital way of working, or digital thread, as Van Dongen calls it, has great advantages in the manufacturing industry if the entire supply chain is integrated. Take Apple, which develops phones, but does not produce them itself. Suppliers are given very specific instructions that they cannot deviate from at will. “The difference between tolerances are very small, everything has to fit exactly inside a phone like this. By digitalizing the whole process you can reduce the time between an order and the delivery of the product – the turnaround time – and prevent any faults,” says Van Dongen.\nThe company, which is German in origin, focused in the past mainly on the manufacture of hardware. But this changed with the acquisition of UGS in 2007. An American party with an extensive software portfolio geared towards managing the entire product lifecycle. “This still forms the backbone of Siemens Digital Software,” Van Dongen states.\nThanks to several takeovers of successful software companies in recent years, Siemens is expanding its expertise and experience in new areas. The Rotterdam Mendix, specialized in low-code, is a recent example of this. Van Dongen: “Another important addition was LMS from Leuven in Belgium. They specialize in simulation and test applications. Simulations, digital testing, and data management are becoming increasingly important within a production environment. We want to be able to develop all of these tools and offer them to customers. If you want to keep on accelerating the pace of innovation, then you cannot lag behind in this regard.”", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Fuel cell is a device that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction. Fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or other fuels to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. In the case of hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen is the source of fuel and the only products are electricity, water, and heat. Fuel cells do not need to be periodically recharged like batteries, but instead, continue to produce electricity as long as a fuel source is provided.\nScheme: A Schematic presentation of fuel cell reaction\nA fuel cell is composed of an anode, cathode, catalyst, and electrolyte membranes sandwiched between two electrodes. Oxygen from the air passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other, generating electricity, water, and heat. In a hydrogen fuel cell, a catalyst at the anode separates hydrogen molecules into protons and electrons, which take different paths to the cathode. The electrons go through an external circuit, creating a flow of electricity. The protons migrate through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they unite with oxygen and electrons to produce water and heat. Bipolar plates on either side of the cell help to distribute gases and collect the electrical current.\nRepresentative Sketch of PEMC Fuel Cell Assembly\nIn some cases, Fuel cell produce very less voltage which may not be sufficient for most of the application. In those cases, stacking of fuel cells is required to increase the voltage and hence performance. Individual fuel cells can be collected into a unit and connected to each other in series, resulting in a “stack” of cells that can generate more voltage.\nRepresentative picture of Fuell Cell Stack\nFuel cells have a number of advantages which includes:\n- High efficiency\n- Quick refueling\n- Quiet operation\n- Compact size\n- Rapid response to changes in electrical demand\n- Long lifetimes\n- Longer ranges, are increasingly important for larger, heavier vehicles.\n- lower or zero emissions\n- high power density\nFuel cells have several benefits over conventional combustion-based technologies currently used in many power plants and vehicles.\nFuel cell can be used in a lot of applications, which includes warehouse logistics, global distribution, utility vehicles, buses, scooters, bicycles, trains, stationary power generation, boats and submarine, and many more. Fuel cells are lightweight, long-lasting, and portable power sources that can be used in backup power applications.\nFigure: Representing various applications of fuel cell\nCOURTESY: ULTRANANOTECH PVT.

{"text": "Packaging Made Easy sourced machinery from multiple OEMs before working with Omron.\nThese machines worked as intended by the OEM, but they frequently required numerous engineering hours to adjust mechanical and electrical parts in order to provide their end customers with a scalable and modular machine that was easily adaptable to future market changes. It was far more challenging to create solutions that completely satisfied their desired offering because they had no control over the internal workings of the devices they had been given.\nAdditionally, Packaging Made Easy discovered that it was more difficult to control the complete machine because the machines it had received frequently had automation components from different suppliers.\nFor instance, there have been instances where particular control technologies have had communication issues with a different brand of servo motor. Additionally, alternative controllers frequently had limitations when it came to being able to manage parts made by different manufacturers.\nThe motion, controls, and HMI integration all need to be improved on in the original application. Due to these difficulties, Packaging Made Easy began searching for a new hardware solution and a platform that would enable simple remote communication and troubleshooting.

{"text": "A floating floor is a floor which is supported by a structural slab but is completely isolated from the structural slab by resilient support members, so it is nowhere in rigid contact with the structure slab. The floating floor acts as a protective covering for the structural slab. Impacts, no matter in the forms of vibration or noise, on the floating floor will be absorbed substantially before reaching the structural slab. As a result, the room below the structural slab is much quieter than it will be if the same impacts directly strike the structural slab.\nFigure 55 shows two types of floating floors which are supported resiliently on isolation pads and fiberglass insulation board. To prevent potential damage of a floating floor, it must be structurally designed for proper strength and the applied load should be within the design limits and uniformly applied. For any type of floating floor, the construction must be monitored carefully to ensure proper installation as it is usually very difficult to remedy defects after completion of the installation.", "label": "Yes"}

We think the name is still worthy of a position in our Best Ideas portfolio.\nPrecision’s sales jumped 16% in the quarter, and the firm was able to leverage that growth into a 19% year-over-year improvement in operating income. The company’s consolidated segment operating margin jumped to 25% from 24.3% in the year-ago period.\nWe continue to believe Precision Castparts is a prime beneficiary of the strengthening build rates of commercial airplanes during the next few years, prompted by production increases at Boeing (NYSE:BA) and Airbus (OTCPK:EADSY) – particularly in the narrow body segment (737, A320). We think the recovery in its power end markets (gas turbines) and seamless pipe business will only further augment the tremendous potential in commercial aerospace in the coming quarters. In all, we were pleased with Precision’s quarter and believe the stock has further room to run higher (our target is $200 per share) based on traditional earnings multiples attached to the company during prior commercial delivery upswings. We’d only look to scale back our position in the event of margin pressure, an acquisition that runs counter to Precision’s core markets, or if our exposure to commercial aerospace becomes too large of a percentage of the portfolio.\nDisclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "There is an increasing awareness that a major difference between a passive house and a standard BASIX or NatHERS house is airtightness. When the windows and doors are closed, a passive house is extremely airtight, and therefore a means of ventilating the house is required.\nA heat recovery ventilation system is an energy-efficient fan unit with a heat-exchange core and ducts that bring fresh and filtered air from the outside of the house into the living areas. While at the same time removing stale and moist air from the kitchen and wet areas. The heat-exchange core allows the warmth or the cool of the house to be captured and passed into the incoming fresh and filtered air. The system is also used when the windows and doors are open.\nThere are a number of different brands of HRVS being imported into Australia.\nWhen I did my research, there were good options from Stiebel-Eltron of Germany, Dantherm from Denmark and Brinks of the Netherlands. There are others. We opted for the Zehnder 375 Standard. Zehnder is multinational Swiss company.\nBecause we were very new to passive house and heat recovery ventilation, it was important to find a distributor with a high-quality product and who was willing to recommend and liaise with a good installer. This was as much about correct and competent installation as it was about after-sales service and support.\nThe Zehnder distributor that we dealt with was Fantech. It’s a company that was started in Australia and is now part of the Elta Group from the U.K. They have a nationwide network of offices, but the HRV business is run from their office in Dandenong South, Victoria.\nFantech were able to provide a HRV layout plan and specifications as part of their service. This was a better option than finding an engineer to do the work separately. The process was quite straightforward. I sent my floor plans, which they used to overlay their diagrams and add the specification details. They made a unit recommendation.\nA passive house consultant could also help you with this.\nOnce I had chosen an installer from the contacts that they provided, I received a quote directly from them for supply and installation. Fantech supplied the installer with the unit, ducting and other necessary consumables.\nThere may have been changes since I was looking into it, however the longest warranty being provided by any manufacturer for a domestic installation was 2 years. Comparable units from each manufacturer seemed to be roughly equivalent in efficiency and noise levels.\nSupply and installation of the system cost roughly $17,500.00, inclusive of GST (based on prices in March 2021).

{"text": "Magnetic attraction bearings\n“How can we use magnetic attraction to make bearings?”\nConventional mechanical bearings are limited by the effects of mechanical friction which impinges their durability, speed, and control. However, by removing physical contact with the shaft, the bearing will become far more optimal. So how could we implement such an idea into reality? Well, one method is to use the physical mechanism of magnetic attraction to remotely control the bearings. Such magnetic attraction bearings would be freed from the limitations of traditional mechanisms and could provide for far more efficiency. However, due to chaotic nature of rotation, a self-centering device must be used with such mechanisms, so that no side becomes too close to the magnetic center and therefore lose balance. Such conundrums can be remedied with magnetic repulsion models.", "label": "Yes"}

A relay is not a fuse, but a power switching device. The internal switch (called the coil side of relay) will let power pass through the relay when the coil (the \"switch\") is activated.\nLook for locations on the underside of the fuse/relay block cover-this is the Power Distribution Center. Also, your owner's manual will show relay and fuse locations. Still no help? Ask at a dealer, a parts person should be able to get a copy of fuse/relay locations for your '95.\nthe ground fell off of the fuel pump or the plug came loose. its between the tank and frame. pull the wires down until u see the connector. unplug clean and plug in. I would check the fuse and relay first. usually there is another relay that is the same as the fuel pump in fuse box. switch them and see if it works\nEither the pump relay is not working right, or the check valve in the pump is letting fuel drain back into the tank when you turn the engine off. You would check the pump relay to see if it is getting a ground signal from the computer when you first turn the key on, then look at base fuel pressure with a gauge if necessary.\ndidnt specify year of vehicle most relays for tahoe is under hood and at side of dash on drivers side -- turn key to on and listen for hum of pump no hum try starting with starter fluid if starts test for power to connections ,pump and relay if power more than likely pump shot\nThe power comes from the ECM to the fuel pump and the injectors. These is a seperate fuse box under the hood for these items which will also house the relay for fuel pump. Start there and ensure your fuzes are good and your relay is switching. Some of the relays are the same to you can interchange them to make sure your fuel pump relay is working.\nThere can be a couple of causes for no spark.\nCommon problem - Ignition unit in distributor has failed - Replace distributor.\nCommon problem - Coil failure - Replace coil.\nCommon Problem - Stuck ECU relay - indicated by no pulsing of injectors and no spark - replace relay.", "label": "Yes"}

The coir fibers were obtained from disregarded coconut shells that if not properly processed constitute an environmental hazard. The as-received coir fiber was characterized by scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray dispersion analysis. Composites prepared with two molding pressures and with amounts of coir fiber up to 80 wt% were fabricated. Up to 50 wt% of fiber, rigid composites were obtained. For amounts of fiber higher than this figure, the composites performed like more flexible agglomerates. The results obtained for flexural strength allowed comparison of the technical performance of the composites with other conventional materials.\n1.Sustainable bio-composites from renewable resources: opportunities and challenges in the green materials world.

{"text": "It started with a dream to use robots to revolutionise the way companies operate, and it’s now been four years since they pooled their savings to make that dream a reality, a move that Hafslund Nett calls ‘a quantum leap’.\n‘I thought I’d end up in a normal job,’ says Håkon Kjerkreit (30), who hails from Trøndelag, a county in central Norway. He is leaning against the wall in a small workshop in Forus, an industrial area outside Stavanger, also known as the oil capital of Norway. On the floor of the workshop sits a large drone, which is being assembled by one of the skilled technicians at KVS Technologies. This is no ordinary drone though.\nFour years ago, Håkon was still a student at the University of Stavanger, together with co-founder Steffen Solberg (31). It had never crossed his mind that he would start his own company someday, but he remembers being interested in working with his hands.\n‘We made and operated ROVs in school,’ Håkon recalls with a smile. An ROV is a remotely operated underwater vehicle which is used offshore.\n‘We started building an operating system that could run different robots and drones,’ says Cato Vevatne (31), the third and last of the three co-founders. ‘There isn’t that much of a difference whether they operate underwater or on the ground once you’ve figured it out.’\nCato had already graduated and found a full-time job when he and his two friends decided to strike out on their own. It took a little trial and error and many months of not drawing a salary before the trio decided on what they would specialize in: power grid inspections with the help of autonomous drones.\nKVS Technologies has steered away from traditional remote control, choosing instead to develop technology that automates drones, such that they operate independently as they check the power grids. The drones are able to recognise power lines and masts thanks to artificial intelligence.\nDrones in containers\nKVS Technologies is on the cusp of a breakthrough. Power company Hafslund Nett, which recently merged with Eidsiva Nett to form Elvia, has just signed an innovation contract with KVS to test drones on a large scale in the eastern part of Norway.\n‘This represents a quantum leap,’ says Arild Haugen, director of grid operations at Hafslund.\nHaugen’s job is to oversee operations and emergency response for the company’s power grids in the eastern counties of Oslo, Akershus and Østfold. He believes that using KVS Technologies’ drone technology could save his company millions.\n‘However, increasing our own reliability as a service provider is worth more than that,’ says Haugen.\nA large container sits outside the KVS Technologies office. This has been converted into a drone hangar, which functions as a home base for the drone when it is on assignment. The hangar opens up, and a drone ascends from within. In the event of a power outage, the drone can cruise over the power grid and localize the error. This would be a lot more efficient than conducting a manual inspection. Hafslund Nett plans to have between four and seven of these drone hangars to cover the power grids in the three eastern counties.\n‘Imagine how much faster troubleshooting with a drone would be, as opposed to sending a team out who have to walk on foot in deep snow,’ says Haugen.\nThe drones fly autonomously at high speeds over the power grid, taking thousands of photos as they go. These photos are then sent back to a control room for analysis.\n‘There are other companies offering drone services, but to date we haven’t found a technology that’s nearly as good as this one,’ says Haugen.\nShare issue and international expansion\nHaugen’s affirmative words are a validation to Cato and the company’s chairman Arild Austigard. KVS Technologies has plans in the pipeline to expand in the coming years, and the current focus is on the international market.\n‘We’re aiming for a turnover of 100 million kroner by 2022. But more importantly, we’d like to establish our position in the market,’ says Cato Vevatne.\nThe company is planning a share issue in order to finance this expansion.\n‘We’re considering different alternatives, and our final decision will define the amount of capital we need. In any case, we’re aiming for a share issue in the second quarter of 2020,’ says Austigard.\nThe Austigard family, best known for having built up Øglænd System, is the largest shareholder in KVS Technologies after the three founders, who own close to 60 per cent of the shares in the company today. In 2018, KVS Technologies had a turnover of 13.7 million kroner with a profit before tax of 1.9 million kroner.\nThis article was originally published in Norwegian in Dagens Næringsliv in December 2019.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The following is my understanding of Meraks and their differences, based on my observations, things people have told me, things I have read, and cars I have seen. I'm probably wrong about a few things, but overall I would describe Merak production as follows:\n1973 - All European models (IIRC), but some were imported to the States and are pretty much identical to the Euro cars. All have slender chrome bumpers. Around 190hp (going from memory, again). All cars Citroen hydraulics and dashboard.\n1974 - U.S. cars have full width chrome bumpers, slender and similar to Euro, but bumpers have two big rubber guards, like many 1974 cars in USA. Still all Citroen hydraulics, dashboard, and 190-ish hp.\n1975 -- U.S. cars grow big bumpers as seen in red example above, catalysts, and rear valance panel to conceal exhaust/catalyst setup. Euro cars slim bumpers. All cars have Citroen hydraulics. Although I never read any official numbers, I would expect the U.S. model cars to be down on h.p. a little over Euro cars.\nLATE 1975 -- A few (a little over 50, I think) Meraks squeak out with the 220-hp SS engine. I think this was the point when DeTomaso took over from Citroen. My understanding is that he said, \"We gotta give these cars more power,\" and immediately the first thing he did was engines. I may have my facts wrong, but I am as certain as a few experts have told me about the last 1975s having the SS engine. The red car above is a late 1975 car with the SS engine, per Citroen/Maserati specialist David Hume in Kentucky. I don't know the effect of emissions controls on the U.S. engines vs. European. The U.S. model non-SS cars (i.e. 74-75, maybe some 73s) are criticized by some for the hump on the rear decklid for the full-sized spare. I think it looks fine, and the flat decklids are actually a bit plain, IMHO.\n1976 -- Very few Meraks made -- somewhere in the 20s, I think. This was the point when they were ditching the Citroen stuff and beginning the production of the SS. I believe there is a \"transition\" dashboard that a few cars got, which is very blocky and rectangular, and takes the place of the Citroen dashboard, but utilizes the center console and AC vents of the previous Citroen-era cars. I'm not sure whether these cars are labeled Merak or Merak SS, and I don't know to what extent they do or do not have the Citroen equipment.\n1977 -- Full swing into Merak SS production, although I don't think there are a whole lot of them. Bora dashboard, and U.S. cars pretty much all look like the red one above; possibly some detail changes like turn signals or such. SS seats are a little different from earlier seats; people tend to only notice the dashboard. SS is supposed to be 220 hp; I don't know if that is the U.S. model or Euro; either way, it's more powerful than the older version.\n1978-1980 -- there appear to be more of each of these years than '77s. They're all SS models as far as I know -- at least in the States. SS models do away with the Citroen hydraulics, notably the power-assisted brakes and headlamp raising.\n1981--83? -- U.S. models stop at 1980, but European models continue a bit longer -- I'm not sure how long exactly.\nA few thoughts, observations, opinions:\n- For years, magazines and buyers guides said to stay away from the Citroen-era cars and only go for an SS. They cited more horsepower, no \"troublesome\" hydraulics, and \"better looking dash\". Here's my take on those things:\nFirst, among U.S. model cars, what happened to the rule of \"slim pre-bumper law beats thick post-bumper law bumpers\"? As far as the States goes, nobody ever bothers to notice that the 1973-74 cars a) have slender chrome bumpers and no rear valances, which people say look prettier on the European models . . .and b) do not have catalysts. With any other 1970s-era car, people praise the pre-catalyst and slim-bumper versions -- why is there no love for the 73-74 Meraks? Personally, I like them all -- I like all of the bumpers on all of the meraks -- they are all well done, and none really detract from the car's appeal. Some people make too big of a deal about that.\nInterior -- is the Bora dashboard really better looking? I think it's ugly. It looks like a beginner in wood shop class built it from plywood, and then someone upholstered it in black vynil. It is my belief that the bias favoring that dashboard is because it is taken from the more expensive Bora (and therefore must be better), and because the Citroen dashboard is taken from the Citroen SM, and we must turn our noses up at parts-bin sharing. But in reality, which is the better dash? I think they are both very different . . . and neither is that good. Neither can hold a candle to an Esprit or 308 when it comes to dash boards and instrument clusters.\nAnd the steering wheels . . . do you want the futuristic Citroen 1-spoke wheel . . . or the goofy \"bumper car horn pad\" Maserati wheel? I'm not a fan of either, but to be hones, I think the Citroen dash and steering wheel aesthetically fit the car slightly better.\nHydraulics -- in the 1970s, the high-pressure Citroen hydraulic system was somewhere between \"avant-garde\" and \"complicated\". It required a special hydraulic fluid that nobody ever heard of that you couldn't buy in an auto parts store, and owners tended to top it off with brake fluid, which destroyed its internals. The whole setup was seen as troublesome, complicated, and expensive.\n. . . now, here's the reality check: The accumulators last 10-15 years on average, depending on how much you drive the car or how long you let it sit. They cost between $100 and $150 each to rebuild. Nearly every Jaguar since 1998 and most expensive luxury sedans from the 1990s onward have symilar systems for self-leveling and such. This once complicated, mysterious, \"expensive and troublesome\" kind of system that was the territory of Citroen only has now become pretty common, and you can buy an XJ6 for $1500 that uses them. The point is, they are really no big deal. They freaked people out in the 70s, people balked at the price of fixing it in the 80s, but in this day and age, you'd rather hope to have to have all of the hydraulic system rebuilt than to have to buy new dampers or a windshield.\nGeneral servicing: I will call a Merak more \"complicated\" than \"sophisticated\" in its design. You will find that the inner structure of the body is made up of all kinds of little weird box sections and places that are either hard to reach/make servicing difficult, or trap water and promote rust. Something as simple as replacing a throttle cable END -- not the whole cable -- is an adventure in removing obscure access panels and discovering new small compartments within the design of the car. Something as simple as changing the air filter requires removal of a few pieces off of the carburetors once you have the air cleaner lid off. The accessories are driven by an assembly running from a shaft off of the engine, and the assembly needs to be aligned perfectly. Reaching the front of the engine is a test of patience and acrobatics.\nService-wise, the Merak makes the 308 and Esprit look easy . . . but with that said, it's still very doable. If you are comfortable with servicing mid-engined cars, you'll find a way to do everything you need on a Merak.\nThe good part about servicing is that they really don't need much. They have timing chains, not belts, and really don't have anything life-threatening that disintegrates in a few years or wears out in fewer than 30k miles. Many Merak owners I have encountered are not mechanically inclined or don't work on their cars, and have enjoyed them reliably year after year without having to do anything serious. It seems that every 10-15 years they just need to be gone through and freshened up as described with the red car above.\nSome things to beware of:\n- Timing Chain Tensioners: The ones on early cars, when they wear down (say 30-60k miles), can allow the chain to skip from something like turning on the AC at idle. Solution is to replace with later SS chain tensioners, or new original style.\n- Hollow (sodium filled?) valve stems, like on 2-valve 308s, can corrode and weaken on a car that sits for a long time without being stareted.\n- Rust protection is typical 1970s Italian -- i.e. none. Don't be surprised to find the insides of some panels not even painted. Most common place to look for rot is under the rear seat cushions or under the fuel tanks (which are behind the rear seats). Due to poor design that lets water in, and insulation around the tanks traps moisture. I think by now the majority have been rusted here; usually they get caught and repaired before it gets too bad.\nOther places to look for rust include the lower door skins and door edges, the fender lips, and the lower portions of the fenders and quarter panels. The place where you really hope to not find rust are around the windshield. Overall, I would compare them to 308s when it comes to rust protection.\nWheels -- those beautiful Campagnolo wheels on the Merak are RARE and EXPENSIVE. Do not buy a Merak without them!!!\nGlass -- is hard to find, so pass on a car with defects in the glass\nTrim -- is expensive; figure that every little chrome bit such as a side marker surround is at least $100. Door handles are $200-$250 each if you're lucky. Don't pay much for a car with missing or damaged trim, because it will be difficult and expensive to put right.\nThat black strip around the waistline -- some have it and some don't. I don't know if it was an option, or what. I've seen it and not seen it on every type of Merak.\nWhat I like about the Merak:\n- Smooth, exotic but understated styling -- nice mix of race car and gentleman's grand tourer. One of Giugiaro's best.\n- Well-balanced handling\n- Comfortable to drive and live with\n- Generally strong and reliable engine; regular use should alleviate valve stem worries, so just make sure the tensioners are good. Other than that, just typical maintenance.\n- Low maintenance compared to other exotic cars of the era\n- A Merak in good order is a reliable car. No worry about overheating, parts falling off, things breaking that don't break on normal cars.\n- Noise in the cabin is just right: you can enjoy the sound of the engine, but you can also hold a conversation at 85 mph without shouting.\n- One of the last handbuilt Maseratis.\n1980 308 GTBi", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The question is about stopping arrows fired as a barrage by an army far away. You control fire, and suddenly blast the entire barrage of arrows with fire hot enough to incinerate the wood in a matter of seconds. Would the not-completely-molten arrowheads still be able to roughly reach the target (a moving band of soldiers)? Or would the destruction of the shaft, partial melting of the arrowheads, and force from the hot air (fire is basically hot gas particles that glow) be enough to change their course completely?\nArrow heads are undamaged, shafts are slightly blackened - but they're going to miss for 3 reasons:\nIn extreme cases the winds from fires can reach 150 mile per hour winds. That's 241kmph. Recurve bows fire at about this speed. You're not going to stop it mid air in time, but you can throw it off course by adding a 240kmph cross wind.\nEven if the archers can predict the updraft and adjust their trajectory, the wind from the fire isn't uniform, and the arrows moving from one region to another with vastly different wind speeds will ruin their trajectory. A wind shear of about 30mph (ie 30mph difference in wind speed between two adjacent regions) has downed a commercial airliner. Wind shears from fire can get strong enough to make fire tornados, which make arrow trajectories tricky to predict.\nFin / feather melting\nThese delicate fins are very susceptible to fire:\nThe wood will partially protect one fin more than the other(s), meaning they'll melt unevenly. When these melt unevenly, it will throw off the aerodynamics. The arrows will turn and start tumbling. When they tumble they'll slow down and fall short. If they do reach you - you will probably be hit by the arrows side-on, it'll be like a soft caning rather than an arrow impact.\nYes, but you don't need anywhere near that much heat\nEnough heat to incinerate the shafts might melt the heads, but it's irrelevant. Without the shafts the heads will begin to tumble and they'll fall far short of their targets.\nBut you don't need anywhere near that much heat. Those arrows were aimed given the archer's best estimate of the meteorological conditions at the moment of release — and you just changed them. Heat rises. All you need is enough heat to materially effect the arrow's trajectories and they'll still fall short. Such a blast of heat might be more believable than a blast so devastating that it would be more useful to use it against the archers themselves rather than their arrows.\nSuch a blast would be the fantasy-medieval equivalent of a nuclear bomb.\nUnless you manage to completely destroy the arrow shafts, you have a problem.\nThe feathers help with accuracy, but the aeroynamics of a heavy head and lighter shaft will still keep them pointed in the same basic direction.\nIt takes little fire to set a wooden shaft on fire. It takes a HUGE amount of fire to completely destroy a wooden shaft in 2-3 seconds! (try cutting through a wooden broomstick with a oxy-acetelene torch, to test. It takes about 30-40 seconds! You can cut through a mild steel bar of same diameter faster than wood)\nSo you have a barrage of incoming arrows. You have heated the arrowheads to scorching heat, you have blackened and set on fire the wooden shafts. You have destroyed the feathers. You have nudged the arrows a bit off path due to winds from your fire.\nNet result: You have made the barrage MORE dangerous. It is a barrage. Not accurate pinpoint fire. If the arrows arrive anywhere in the direction of the target, they have done their job. Barrages of arrows is the medieval equivalent of saturation bombing.\nBUT! The incoming arrows are now not just pointy objects that might penetrate your armor and defenders. It is now an equal number of ON FIRE, with superheated metal tip, pointy objects that are landing on your armor and defenders.\nWhat hurts more, being hit by an arrow, or being hit equally hard by a hot arrow that is on fire?\nIf your fire IS hot enough to burn away the wooden shafts, then the arrowheads are now red-to-white hot blobs of molten metal. I would rather be pierced by an arrow, than have a redhot blob of molten steel land down my pants.\nHint: set the archers on fire, not their arrows.\nMy father was a fireman. Wood catches fire fairly easily, but it takes time to burn. I don't think that any temperature that fire can reach will burn the arrow shafts in time.\nOne bit of wisdom he imparted was that in a building fire, steel stairways soften and fail before old-fashioned wooden stairways could burn through.\nThe destruction of the shaft, and the feathers on it, will destabilise the arrowheads, and remove much of the mass of each arrow. They'll go off course and start to tumble.\nThey'll end up scattered and few, if any, of them will hit their targets. They'll also be going slower because of the tumbling. While being hit by them won't be pleasant, they've lost much of their momentum and will do far less harm.\nThe accepted answer is along the right line of thinking, but way understated. When you heat air up very quickly as you do in this scenario, the air will expand with explosive force. Heating air up enough to burn an arrow mid flight means you are creating a LOT of explosive force. Your fire wall would would closely resemble the mechanics of the Iron Curtain countermeasure that the US military uses for stopping missiles, but arrows have much less kinetic energy for their cross-section than missiles do, and your firewall will have much more explosive force than an Iron Curtain to be able to burn away the wood and melt arrow heads.\nInstead of just blowing the arrows off course, you will blast the red-hot arrowheads backwards in a spray of shrapnel... and possibly burn both armies to death in the process...\nI am no metal engineer, but I think temperature that is not high enough wouldn't do anything to metal arrowheads.\nAfter quick search, wood start burning at 300 degrees (here ) and forging temperature for metals (alloys, but I don't think iron would be much further from them) is way higher then 300 degrees (here). Therefore it wouldn't make any difference.\nThat's a very general question, because of course it depends on the speed and design of the arrow, the mothod of firing the arrow, etc. Already we have incendiary rounds and tracer bullets that have no problem reaching targets while on fire; a red hot piece of metal is not melted (and isn't close to melting range yet for steel) so conceivably there wouldn't be a problem with sending hot arrows.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Scheltzke Grout Plant Used in Installation of Grouted Micropiles in West Memphis, AR\nAs older infrastructure needs replacing, engineers often create more complex designs to address new issues. Such is the case with the replacement of a railroad bridge owned by Burlington Northern crossing the Mississippi River, which connects Memphis, TN to its West Memphis, AR.\nSitting near the New Madrid Fault Zone, the region is prone to infrequent but severe earthquakes. To mitigate potential damages down the road, the new bridge design calls for micropiles to reinforce the stability of the new bridge piers.\nTerrafirm is installing dual string 9 5/8” casing and a 3” diameter micropile 141’ in length for this bridge. Drilling conditions at the site are not too difficult. As it is close to the river, most of the material is sand and silts, while drilling the final 30’ through clay. Using a Scheltzke MPS 510-D-C-AUT to mix grout, Terrafirm is pressure grouting through the sands in 10 foot increments to pressure filtrate and bond the grout column to obtain a pile with a bearing capacity of 750 kips in a 72’ bond zone.\nThe foundations for the piers are constructed in phases. Case Foundation, using their own equipment, drills a cased hole, 12’ dia, approx. 54’ deep, pump bentonite to contain the sand inside the hole, desands the bentonite, installs a rebar cage and pipe assemblies and pumps concrete into the cased hole. The bentonite is then extracted and used on the next pier. After Case Foundation moved on, Terrafirm’s role would begin. They drill the double string through the previously installed pipe, an inner string and outer casing, in 10’ segments. They then extracted the casing in these 10’ segments and pressure grout at 80 psi.\nMike Morris, project manager for Terrafirm, had this to say about the Schelztke:\n“The grout plant that we purchased works very well. It has met our expectations and we look forward to using these types of plants in our other drilling and grouting operations.”\nOnce the new piers are completed and bridge deck installed, the old bridge will be torn down.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "There’s a rich history behind stern drives and there are a million and one stern drive boats on the water, yet there are just two big players in today’s market: MerCruiser and Volvo Penta. In a few unusual cases you might find an Ilmor here and there in serious high performance power boats, and even more rarely you may see a diesel stern drive from Yanmar. But for the most part, one of the two big suppliers is going to provide the engine and drive for whatever runabout, day cruiser, or sports cruiser you may be looking at. In many cases the boatbuilder will only supply one brand or the other, so you won’t have any say in the matter. But in some other cases, the choice between a MerCruiser and a Volvo Penta will be left up to you.\nWhat is a Stern Drive?\nBefore we look at each of these big players, let’s make sure everyone’s on the same page and understands exactly what a stern drive is and how it works. A stern drive, sometimes also called an I/O, or Inboard/Outboard, is essentially a combination between inboard engine and an outboard drive unit. The engine itself is oriented like an automotive engine, and the rear of the engine mates with a drive unit much like the lower unit of an outboard, which can tilt. These two parts join at a hole in the transom of the boat, where a rubberized part called the “boot” seals out the water but flexes to allow the drive unit to move and turn. Thus, the boater gets to enjoy the benefits of inboard power (an automotive-like engine that’s easy to work on and has optimal weight distribution), while also gaining certain advantages of outboard engines (the ability to trim the drive as needed for optimizing performance, the ability to tilt it up for mooring, enhanced handling with the articulating drive, and reduced draft).\nOf course, no marine propulsion system is perfect. The biggest down-sides to having a stern drive usually boil down to reliability, and maintenance costs. Due to the additional moving parts there are more potential failure points than there are on either outboard or inboard boats. And the boot we mentioned earlier is a particularly problematic part that commonly needs to be replaced every three to five years.\nAlthough stern drive technology has remained more or less the same for many years, in the recent past there’s been at least one major development: the creation of Volvo Penta Forward Drive.\nForward Drive units face forwards, instead of facing aft. This reduces trim range and eliminates the ability to trim the drive up when moored. However, it also moves the propellers forward about 27 inches, so they remain under the boat and away from the transom. This is ideal for watersports, especially wake surfing, where it’s possible to fall into the water very close to the transom of the boat.\nMerCruiser Stern Drives\nThe low-end range of stern drives offered by Mercruiser has shrunk a bit in recent years. Although MerCruiser still offers a 3.0L 135 horsepower in-line four package via Mercury Remanufacturing, it no longer offers these smaller block engines with new stern drives. The increase in price due to EPA requirements for a catalytic converter, along with the increasing popularity of outboards on smaller boats, has eliminated much of the market for these diminutive stern drives through the past decade.\nToday, MerCruiser’s smallest offering is a 4.5L V-6, which comes in 200 and 250 horsepower models. Next in the line are a pair of 6.2L V-8s, which put out 300 and 350 horsepower. Finally, MerCruiser has a 8.2L V-8 that generates 380 horses in its regular incarnation, and 430 horsepower in the H.O. (high output) version. For anything bigger, you'd have to go to Mercury Racing. While they offer some more powerful packages, they’re quite specialized, far more rare, and are intended mostly just for high-performance boats as opposed to your average recreational craft.\nIn addition to its gasoline power packages MerCruiser has a line of diesel engines which can be rigged with their stern drives including a 2.0L in-line-four (115, 130, 150, and 170 HP), a 3.0L V-6 (150, 230, and 270 HP), and a TDI 4.2L V-8 (335 and 370 HP). These diesels are less commonly seen in pleasure boats then their gasoline counterparts, but can be a good choice in certain circumstances.\nAll of MerCruiser’s power choices mate up with Alpha One, Bravo One, Bravo Two, or Bravo Three outdrives. Each have slightly different ratings and applications, but the most significant thing a boat-buyer needs to know is that Bravo Three drives have twin contra-rotating propellers, while the others have a single propeller. While not always available for smaller, less expensive power packages, having the twin props provides distinct and significant performance advantages. It enhances steering and maneuverability quite a bit (especially at slow speeds where many single-prop stern drives tend to wander and require constant steering adjustments), assists in getting on plane more quickly, and reduces bowrise.\nVolvo Penta Stern Drives\nVolvo-Penta more or less invented the production stern-drive with the Aquamatic, introduced in 1959. But like Mercury, due to price spikes the company trimmed back its offerings in 2011 and eliminated their series of four-cylinder 3.0L engines which competed directly with—and were based on the same GM block as — Mercruiser's “entry level” offerings. The new requirements for catalytic converters on engines of this size boosted cost by thousands of dollars, and rather than fight the current, Volvo simply eliminated the 3.0 from its line. It’s interesting to note that this price spike has also boosted the popularity of small outboard-powered bowriders, which traditionally were powered by stern drives.\nToday, the Volvo-Penta range starts with 4.3L V-6 gasoline engines, in 200, 240, and 280 horsepower increments. Volvo also has a 5.3L V-8 line, which is offered in 300 and 350 horsepower. For the largest stern drive power needs they also offer a 6.2L V-8, in 380 and 430 HP models.\nVolvo also has a diesel line, with their D3 (2.4L), D4 (3.7L), and D6 (5.5L) diesels. These are less common in America than in some other markets, and are available in 140, 170, 200, 220, 225, 260, 301, 330, 370, and 400 horsepower increments.\nLike MerCruiser Volvo also offers both single and dual propeller models. SX, SP, and 100 drives feature single aluminum props, while DP, DPS, DPH, DPR, and Forward Drive drives have aluminum, stainless-steel, or Nibral dual propellers.\nComparing MerCruiser and Volvo Penta Stern Drives\nFuel economy for the MerCruisers and Volvo Pentas are comparable across their lines; going back through years of boat reviews and performance tests shows that neither brand holds a big advantage in this regard. What about reliability and consumer satisfaction? Both companies have received numerous NMMA CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) awards through the years, which requires achieving 90-percent or higher customer satisfaction ratings.\nOne area in which MerCruiser may have a slight advantage, depending on where in the nation you live, is in the availability and cost of parts and service. There are MerCruiser dealers and MerCruiser mechanics virtually everywhere you find boats, but in some areas finding a Volvo Penta service location can be a bit tougher, and the parts can be a bit pricey.\nOn the flip side of the coin, Volvo Penta drives have a well-deserved reputation for shifting more smoothly than MerCruisers, and rough shifting is among the top complaints of stern drive owners. Volvo Penta also has a more straightforward warranty program, offering complete coverage for two years (or maximum engine hours) and covering major components for an additional three years beyond that. Some MerCruiser models get only one year, some get as much as three, and some only apply when the engine is bought new as part of a boat-motor-outdrive package.\nSo: which one takes the cake? Both, and neither. In this highly competitive market, if either builder turned out a clearly inferior product it surely wouldn’t last for long. As to which one you should choose, beyond the differences mentioned above it’ll depend to a large degree on what brand of boat you choose, where you live, and the relationship you have with your local dealer. Remember, in many cases there isn’t even a choice to be made because the boatbuilder may only install one brand or the other. Only one thing is for sure: if you’re buying a new boat with stern drive power, it’s a good bet you’ll have either a MerCruiser or a Volvo Penta under the engine-box.\nFor more information about the different power choices you have with modern boats beyond just stern drives, be sure to read Marine Engines and Power Systems: The Basics Behind What Powers Your Powerboat.\nEditor's Note: This article was originally published in January 2013 and updated in November 2018.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Presentation on theme: \"Foucault’s Pendulum in the World and at the Gdańsk University of Technolog y Bogusław Kusz Faculty of Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics Gdańsk.\"— Presentation transcript:\nFoucault’s Pendulum in the World and at the Gdańsk University of Technolog y Bogusław Kusz Faculty of Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics Gdańsk University of Technology\nHistory Jean Bernard Léon Foucault wanted to become a doctor, but... he was fainting at the sight of blood. He became interested in inanimate matter achieving significant success in astronomy, chemistry and the physics of electricity and magnetism. He is best-known as the author of an experiment proving that Earth rotates on its axis. In the cellar of his home Foucault suspended a bob (5 kg) on a two-metre wire and noticed that the plane of oscillations of the pendulum was regularly rotating. He repeated the experiment publicly in 1851 suspending a pendulum with a 67-metre wire in the Panthéon in Paris. The spectators could see that the Earth’s rotation under the pendulum resulted in a continuous change of the plane of pendulum oscillations. Foucault encouraged people to participate in the experiment saying: “Come and see how the Earth is rotating”.\nFoucault’s Pendulum If the Foucault pendulum were placed on a pole, the plane of its oscillations would make a full revolution in ca. 24h (23h 56min ), i.e. the time which is needed by Earth to make one compete revolution on its axis. Time T of one complete revolution of the plane of the pendulum oscillations on geographic latitude q can be calculated from the following formula: T = 24h/ sin q (for Gdańsk T is equal to approx. 30h) Hence, when the pendulum is placed not on a pole, but somewhere at an intermediate geographic latitude, the time needed for a complete revolution of the plane of the pendulum oscillations will be longer. No revolution of the plane of oscillations with respect to the Earth will be observed on the equator.\nProblems related to the pendulum motion: 1.The resistance of air and the internal friction of suspension result in a continuous loss of energy which in consequence is the reason why the pendulum stops. The “pendulum’s life” may be prolonged by increasing the pendulum weight and length. Another way to maintain the oscillations is to supply the lost energy, e.g. by applying another force in addition to the force of gravity. 2. During long operation of the pendulum, any lack of symmetry in the suspension system, and even movement of air, may lead to disturbance of motion. The pendulum starts moving in an elliptic motion which in consequence can either accelerate or slow down the expected change of the direction of oscillations.\nBB B free forced from beneath parametric forced from the top Ways of maintaining pendulum oscillations.\nFoucault pendulums around the world Foucault pendulum at the Smithsonian Museum. 108 kg 16 m Univ. of Louisville 25m 59 kg\nSouth Pole (winter 2001) 33m 25kg Franklin Institute Philadelphia 27 m 80 kg\nMacNaughton Physical Sciences Building University of Guelph “Small” Foucault Pendulum\nPendulums in Poland The wire of the pendulum spheroid in Krakow is 46.5 metres long and the spheroid is 25 kg in weight. The first demonstrations of the Foucault Pendulum in Krakow took place in 1949, almost 100 years after the first public exhibition in the Panthéon in Paris. Venue - St Mary's Church www.stronamiasta.com\nFrombork - Radziejowski Tower. The pendulum steel rope is 28 m long, and the bob is 46.5 kg in weight (pendulum without stimulation) Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń 16 m 29 kg (stimulated pendulum)\nIn 1837 Poisson published a dissertation in which he was trying to prove that artillery shells fired horizontally on the northern hemisphere should deflect eastwards as a result the Earth’s rotation. He also noticed that the Earth’s rotation should affect the motion of pendulums, however, in his opinion, the effect was too small to be observed. Poisson’s considerations were based on earlier (1831) calculi of his student Coriolis who, in his doctoral dissertation, dealt with accelerations in rotating coordinate systems. Foucault knew Poisson’s work and he shared his views as to the minor effect of the deflection of the plane of pendulum oscillations, however, after a series of experiments, he understood that the pendulum had the property of accumulating small deflections into one large deflection following many oscillations. He conducted his first experiments in the cellar of his home with a pendulum 2 m long and 5 kg in weight. The public exhibition, mainly for his colleague scientists, took place in the Paris Observatory on 3 February 1851 with a 11 m pendulum. Foucault invited his guests with the words printed on a banner outside the Panthéon in Paris - the \"temple\" of the most outstanding minds in France - \"Vous êtes invités à venir voir tourner la Terre...\" which means: “You are invited to come and see how the Earth is rotating”. The exhibition was a great sensation and Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, future Napoleon III, asked Foucault to show the experiment to the wide public. It took place on 26 March 1851 with a pendulum - a 28 kg cannon ball suspended with a 67 m wire from the dome of the Panthéon in Paris. The experiment was a sensation for the spectators of the world exhibition w Paris and triggered off a huge number of similar experiments around the world.\nSELECTED LARGE PENDULUMS Foucault’s Pendulums are installed worldwide at numerous locations that are important for culture, science or politics. The following table contains a selection of the most interesting installations. Length L is rounded up to full metres, and weight W - to fill kilograms.

{"text": "There is a GOLD for every need\nSwegon’s GOLD units are designed for comfort ventilation. To ensure superior performance, we design our own components, such as our rotary heat exchanger, fan impeller and control equipment. Commercial or retail construction? Public premises or residential properties? Whatever your segment, there’s always a model to serve you best. Our unrivalled expertise and support are naturally included, right from your planning phase and commissioning through to the first actual use of the unit in future.\nSimple & smart – IQlogic\nA smart system also has to be easy for the user. The IQlogic control system with its award-winning user interface and convenient IQnavigator hand-held terminal makes it easy for you to unlock the full potential of GOLD. Naturally, GOLD is readied for online connection and communication with the main control system. Thanks to our built-in WiFi, you can connect with the unit’s control functions via your smartphone or other mobile device.\nWeb demo IQlogic\nThis feature allows you to test the control system in the GOLD unit from your internet browser.\nTo log in, use the following credentials:\nUser name: local or installation\nPassword: 0000 for local, 1111 for installation\nRotary heat exchanger – GOLD RX\nUnits with rotary heat exchangers allow you to achieve the ultimate in temperature and annual energy efficiency; our patented heat exchangers with turbulent air flow being uniquely effective. This, combined with the short installation length typically makes them the first choice for most applications. The turbulent flow in the rotor and the Carry-Over Control feature makes them ideally compatible with VAV and DCV system applications. The rotors can be surface-treated in different ways. For example, with the RECOsorptic sorption technology coating for enhanced humidity recovery, or epoxy for heavy-duty environments. GOLD RX is designed to minimise the risk of air and odour transmission between the air flows.\nDiscover the L-concept\nRenovation projects often involve the replacement of old air handling units in small plant rooms. To meet today's demands for energy efficiency and to comply with the ErP Energy directive, a physically larger air handling unit is required, but it is seldom possible to change the size of the plant room.\nThis is where the new GOLD Top range comes in, as it is designed to meet energy efficiency requirements without the need to change the size of the plant room. The new L -concept allows the unit to be connected vertically and horizontally. This means that larger units can be installed and maximum utilisation of space inside the plant room is ensured.\nCounter-flow plate heat exchanger - GOLD PX\nA counter-flow heat exchanger is an excellent choice for applications in which you want to separate the air flows. GOLD PX is available in two versions depending on whether your priority is superior temperature efficiency or low pressure drop.\nThe RECOflow heat exchanger has a high air-seal class, which minimises internal leakage. This makes the GOLD PX an excellent choice for residential properties. Cold weather and humid extract air pose a risk of frost formation in the heat exchanger. To prevent this, our GOLD PX integrates RECOfrost – the best anti-freeze protection on the market. This unique feature uses the latest data from the unit to provide adaptive and demand-controlled adjustment for optimised energy recovery. RECOfrost adjusts the pressure drop across the heat exchanger in periods when full recovery is not needed, e.g. in spring and autumn. The result is superlative temperature efficiency and energy balance, in any climate.\nCoil heat exchangers – GOLD CX\nCoil heat exchangers use a hydronic circuit to transmit energy between the extract air and supply air, which, like the GOLD PX, minimises internal leakage and results in a very space-efficient installation. The GOLD CX can attain higher air flow capacity than the GOLD PX. The system can be supplied with its hydronic circuit factory pre-filled, vented, calibrated and commissioned ready for use. The heat recovery efficiency is adjusted variably for optimum occupant comfort, and the circulation pump is demand-controlled for enhanced energy recovery. For cold-weather applications, the risk of frost formation in the GOLD CX/SD coil is averted by effective anti-freeze protection. This protection is based on continuous monitoring of the fluid temperature in the exhaust air coils combined with the humidity level of the extract air.\nSupply air and/or extract air handling units – GOLD SD\nThe GOLD SD is a complete air handling unit with separate supply and extract air components, supply air and extract air fans as well as supply air and extract air filters as optional extras. The unit components can also be used as stand-alone supply air fans, extract air fans and for single direction air flow. The unit can be fitted with a coil heat exchanger in which the pipework and shunt unit are available as optional extras.\n- Easy to plan, install and commission\n- World-class energy efficiency\n- Minimal installation space required\n- Fully integrated control system with unrivalled functionality\n- Easy to adapt functionality for altered requirements\n- Premium-quality adaptable section platform\n120,000 installed units are proof of concept\nWith the right optional extras, you can gain even more functionality and benefit from your air handling unit. In other words, you can easily further customise GOLD to your requirements.\nAll-in-one combined air handling unit and reversible heat pump\nThe result is fresh air, heating and cooling in an unrivalled slimline and energy-efficient design. Planning is simplified by the fact that we have already done the integration between the heat pump and the air handling unit for you mechanically and in terms of control. The compact dimensions also save you valuable space. Installation is simplified if you opt to have the unit factory pre-filled, tested and ready to run. Commissioning is fast and smooth, as all the functions are controlled directly from the GOLD unit’s intuitive hand-held terminal.\nA power roof fan with smart solutions and intelligent control options, available in various sizes and many flow variants.\nSwegon offers a wide range of accessories to cater for all your requirements.\nInsulated – These accessories can be docked straight to the unit to save time, and provide for lower pressure drop, which reduces fan energy consumption.\nUninsulated – These accessories are available with a standard connection or alternative connection with a larger cross-sectional area and lower pressure drop.\nCommissioning, inspection and maintenance\nContact your nearest service office for assistance with commissioning, repair and maintenance of your ventilation system.\nCertification and conformity\nAll GOLD air handling units are certified by Eurovent.\nSwegon GOLD RX (sizes 04-35 and 50) is certified by the Passive House Institute for its high energy efficiency and heat recovery. GOLD is unique in being the only certified ventilation unit for high air flows (<9,000 m³/h).\nAll GOLD air handling units conform to the requirements set out in EU Ecodesign Regulation n° 1253 for Ventilation Units.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "BUFFALO, N.Y. — With ongoing efforts to develop more green energy sources, New York State, the University at Buffalo, and some companies with Western New York connections are now partnering with other Northeast states to form what's called a \"hydrogen hub.\"\nIt's a bid to get federal funding for hydrogen production to power vehicles and industry.\nWith the ongoing debate over how best to de-carbonize our economy to deal with climate change, some researchers feel hydrogen gas extracted from H2O, or water, in the process known as electrolysis is perhaps the best fuel for the future. President Biden is on board last week visiting a Cummins Inc. plant in Minnesota to see their new electrolyzer devices.\nCummins Vice Chairman Tony Satterthwaite told reporters, \"That hydrogen than can be used to power other things. Hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen engines, which can then replace diesel and natural gas.\"\nThat includes planned hydrogen-powered truck engines to be made at the massive Cummins engine plant south of Jamestown, where they just announced a $452 million retooling investment.\nHydrogen production could also take place at a now-under-construction Plug Power in Genesee County.\nThen Linde engineers based in Tonawanda designed large-scale hydrogen production facilities.\nToyota even talks of hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars, such as its Mirai model.\nSo that's why UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is front and center in helping to bring it to market.\n\"The university, the premier research university in the state, has an important role to play, and in terms of both developing technology, deploying technology, and in workforce development,\" Professor Andrew Whittaker said.\nUB is part of New York State's team — along with six other Northeast states — to seek, in a nationwide Department of Energy competition, $1.6 billion in federal tax dollars to take it a step further with billions more down the road.\n\"This energy transition has to be backed by commercial viability, and the technologies become cheaper and cheaper as we deploy at larger and larger scale,\" Whittaker said.\nWhittaker added: \"It's an economic engine. We would like to turn Western New York into the clean energy, clean industry capital of the United States, and we can do it.\"\nWe don't know when the Energy Department will actually choose these regional hydrogen hubs. But UB and New York State are confident they will be one of the six or seven selected around the country.\nIf chosen, we can expect more details and perhaps more funding down the road.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "8.6 Construction of reinforced embankments\n22.214.171.124 The construction procedure of all embankments with basal reinforcement and embankments with reinforcement against frost heave in the upper part shall conform to the requirements that are common to all types of reinforced embankments, as itemized in this section.\n126.96.36.199 In addition, the construction procedure shall conform to the recommendations that are specific to the relevant type of reinforced embankment, as set out in the instructions provided by the supplier of the reinforcement.\n8.6.2 Embankments over weak ground\n188.8.131.52 Reinforced embankments with basal reinforcement may include embankments constructed over weak ground. Weak ground may take the form of naturally occurring deposits of predominantly cohesive soil or ground which has been weakened by man made voids, such as mine workings, or naturally occurring subterranean voids such as sink holes.\n184.108.40.206 Several different reinforcing techniques can be used to suit the construction of embankments over weak ground. The precise construction method may depend upon the particular technique employed.\n8.6.3 Placement of reinforcement\n220.127.116.11 Reinforcement in the form of geosynthetic grids or sheets, or metal grids, meshes or sheets, which may have different tensile strengths and tensile stiffness in different directions, shall be installed in the specified orientation.\n18.104.22.168 Reinforcement should be selected to provide the required degree of survivability to construction induced damage at design stage, and should not be exposed to direct trafficking by construction plant.\n22.214.171.124 It shall be ensured that the non-rigid reinforcement is tight and that any slack has been removed, in order to minimize any deformation during the mobilization of tensile forces in the reinforcement. This may be achieved by pulling the reinforcement tight and holding in this position while it is covered with fill.\n126.96.36.199 Geosynthetic reinforcement may be prone to degradation when exposed to sunlight and therefore should be covered with fill within a specified time of laying. Where no such time is specified, exposed reinforcement should be covered within 24 hours of placement.\n188.8.131.52 Geosynthetic reinforcing products are supplied in strips or rolls of limited width and length. Where the dimensions of the area to be reinforced exceed the roll dimensions then specified joints or overlaps will be required.\n184.108.40.206 Where joints have been specified, these may be formed in-situ or prefabricated elsewhere prior to final placement. In addition to attaining specified design strengths, joint strengths shall be sufficient to resist loads induced by strenuous handling techniques such as rope hauling.\n220.127.116.11 Placement of reinforcement through shallow water will require the weighting of polymeric material with a specific gravity less than unity. Placement through deeper water may additionally require the use of shallow draft vessels or craft using rope hauling technique.\n18.104.22.168 In general, the placement of sheet material may be disrupted by wind uplift. Where this is likely, the material should be locally ballasted.\n8.6.4 Placement and compaction of fill\n22.214.171.124 Placement and compaction of the fill should generally follow the procedures adopted for earth retaining structures and reinforced slopes, except where the fill is placed over deep deposits of soft or ultra soft ground.\n126.96.36.199 The sequence of fill placement over soft or ultra soft ground, should be specified within the design. If not, care should be taken to ensure that the sequence of filling, including any trafficking by construction plant, at no time exceeds the bearing capacity of the underlying ground.\n188.8.131.52 Where fill is deposited by end tipping extreme care should be taken to ensure that any bow waves formed in the underlying ground do not displace or rupture the reinforcement.\n184.108.40.206 Where placement of fill is advanced in the direction of the longitudinal axis of an embankment, development of unwanted bow waves may be reduced by advancing the central section of infilling ahead of infilling along the toes of the embankment.\n220.127.116.11 The development of bow waves may be further reduced by limiting the depth of the first layers of fill to the minimum required for trafficking by light low bearing pressure construction plant.\n18.104.22.168 For wide embankments, consideration may be given to first placing fill along the two toes of the embankment to form dykes from which subsequent infilling might proceed towards the centre of the embankment.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "What are you actually buying when you pick up a pack of Swiss Skateboard Bearings? We were wondering the same thing, so we did some research. If you've read our other articles on bearings, you'll know that ABEC does not specifically apply to skateboarding. It's actually a measure of precision within the bearing. Skateboard bearings get dirty the second they touch the ground and that precision can be lost. Because of this, more brands have started promoting \"Swiss\" bearings. But what exactly is a Swiss bearing? Why are they supposedly better than other bearings?\nSkateboarding companies have a Swiss obsession, but what's really the deal?\nWhat first comes to mind that is they are like the Swiss Army Knives. There is a brand in Switzerland that is producing a standard bearing, just like there is a brand in Switzerland producing knives. But is that the full story? What magic do the Swiss do that Americans or Chinese don't?\nWe did the research and other than the materials used within the bearings originating in Switzerland and the bearings being built in Switzerland, there are no noticeable physical, mechanical, or material differences that make a Swiss bearing better than any other in the world. In the words of RatVision:\nThese are not watches, army knives, or cheese here. We all know what Swiss cheese looks and tastes like and that it will never be called cheddar cheese. Swiss bearings do not have specific attributes like Swiss cheese that separate them from any other bearings manufactured around the world. There are no standard recipes or instruction manuals for manufacturing true 'Swiss' bearings.\nFor something to be classified as a true Swiss bearing, they must be manufactured on genuine Swiss screw machines (see video below). Bearing manufacturers in other countries know this and create \"Swiss-Style\" screw machines. This allows them to market and sell \"Swiss Bearings\" without manufacturing in Switzerland. The \"Swiss-Style\" machines may or may not even resemble anything from Switzerland. There isn't a governing body that enforces rules on the making of bearings. Because of this, \"Swiss\" bearings can be made in China or the US on a \"Swiss-Style\" machine and marketed and sold as Swiss Bearings.\nHowever, when comparing a Swiss bearing to a Chinese bearing, there relatively is no difference. A bearing is simply a bearing. The term Swiss is a marketing ploy to differentiate away from the ABEC rating. In many cases, it is even thought of as above the ABEC rating. In truth, Switzerland has a reputation of making high quality bearings and brands take advantage of that. China has good and bad bearing manufacturers and tons of top brands come from there. The perception in the mind (at least in our experience) is that stuff from China is cheap and Swiss or America is superior. We couldn't disagree more as all of these countries make good stuff and low quality stuff. It just depends on the manufacturer.\nSwiss made skateboard bearing\nIf a brand is to market a true \"Swiss Bearing\", it would need to be made in Switzerland on a Swiss screw machine using Switzerland based materials.", "label": "Yes"}

If this interconnection is not effected properly, failure of the drill string may result. For example, if the two sections of pipe are torqued to a value that exceeds the manufacturers specifications, it is possible that any or all of the following conditions can occur:\nSTRESS CRACK IN PIN OR BOX\nIf the torque is at value that is lower than that specified by the manufacturer, it is possible that a proper seal will not be provided. This seal is necessary since pressurized drilling fluids flow through the drill string and could possibly flow around the interconnection and through the side of the drill string if the seal is not present. This may result in a \"wash out\" of the pipe dope used on the threads when the joint is first made up. If this pipe dope is removed, the action of drilling can cause an overtorque condition resulting in the above conditions. It can also cause the threads to seize together making the breaking of the joint impossible.\nDuring the torquing operation, a Tong is placed around the interconnection after the interconnection is hand tightened. The Tong is essentially a moment arm that is disposed at right angles to the rotational axis of the connection. By disposing a force at right angles to the Tong at a predetermined distance from the connection, a rotational force, or torque, will result at the connection utilizing the Tong as the moment arm. The torque is a combination of the force applied to the Tong and the length thereof which is measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs). A cable attached to a pneumatically controlled winch is attached to the Tong to provide a manually controlled pulling force. The operator is referred to as a \"driller\" and he is primarily responsible for the torquing operation. In present systems, a gauge is attached between the cable and the Tong to provide a measurement of pulling force on the face thereof. However, these gauges are susceptible to high inaccuracies and lack the ability to average the torque out over a period of time as they measure the instantaneous torque that is applied. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a 90° angle between the cable attached to the winch and the Tong such that the gauge reading can be directly correlated with torque. If the angle is not maintained perpendicular, inaccuracies may result. Because of this, the driller must pay very close attention to the gauge while also paying attention to his machinery and the people assisting him in the torquing operation. This presents serious disadvantages in that there are many potential hazards that the driller must be aware of.\nDuring the torquing operation, the driller regulates the flow of pressurized air to an air clutch that is attached to the winch to provide the requisite pulling force. This allows the driller to both regulate the rate at which the torque is applied and also the maximum force that is applied to the Tong. In placing the Tong about the interconnection, the driller anticipates the amount of rotation such that the Tong will coincide with the moment arm when the proper torque is reached. However, this is at best a \"hit and miss\" operation. Depending upon the conditions of the threads, more or less rotation may be required in order to achieve a desired torque reading. Since the only indication of torque that the driller has is the gauge reading which is only an indication of the liner force on the cable, angular deviations between the cable and the Tong are no way accounted for and, as such, may result in damage to the joint.\nIn view of the above disadvantages with present torque monitoring systems, there exists a need for a torque monitoring apparatus that decreases the probability of overtorquing and undertorquing due to the angular deviations between the cable and the Tong.\nThe present invention disclosed and claimed herein comprises an apparatus for torquing a threaded connection between first and second drill sections that includes a Make-Up Tong attached to the first drill section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof. A winch is provided with a cable attached thereto for applying a force to the distal end of the Make-Up Tong to impart a rotational force to the first drill section. A longitudinal member is attached to the second drill section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis thereof. A restraining cord is provided that has one end thereof attached to the distal end of the longitudinal member and the other end thereof attached to an external anchor point. The restraining cord prevents movement of the longitudinal member such that rotation of the second drill section is prevented. A force sensor is provided for sensing the force on the restraining cord. The force on the restraining cord provides an indication of the torque on the connection between the two drill sections. The cord is positioned at a right angle to the longitudinal member such that the longitudinal member coincides with the moment arm utilized in the torque calculations.\nIn another embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal member is comprised of a Break-Out Tong and a second winch is provided having a cable attached to the distal end of the Break-Out Tong. A second restraining cord is attached to the distal end of the Make-Up Tong to prevent rotation thereof when the second winch operates to rotate the Break-Out Tong and, consequently, the second drill section. A second force sensor is provided on the second restraining cord to to sense the linear force thereof. In this manner, torque can be calculated from the force on the second restraining cord and the angle between the second restraining cord and the Make-Up Tong.\nFor a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description now taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings in which:\nFIG. 1 illustrates a planar diagram of the torque monitoring system of the present invention with the Make-Up Tong applying the torque;\nFIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the Tongs and drill sections taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1; and\nFIG. 3 illustrates a planar view of the torque monitoring apparatus in accordance with the present invention with the Break-Out Tong applying the torque to the connection.\nReferring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is illustrated in FIG. 1 a planar view of a torque monitoring apparatus in accordance with the present invention and FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of the pipe taken along lines 2--2 of FIG. 1. The torque monitoring apparatus includes a Make-Up Tong 10 and a Break-Out Tong 12 for forming the connection between a drill pipe section 14 and the end of a drill string 16. The Make-Up Tong 10 is attached to the drill pipe section 14 and the Break-Out Tong 12 is attached to the end of the drill string 16. The end of the drill string 16 is held in a rotary table 18 with slips 20. The Make-Up Tong 12 is operable to rotate the drill pipe section 14 and the Break-Out Tong 12 is operable to rotate the drill string 16.\nA chain 22 has one end thereof connected to the distal end of the Make-Up Tong 10 and the other end thereof wrapped about a winch 24. Retraction of the chain 22 onto the winch 24 results in a clockwise rotation of the Make-Up Tong 10 about the longitudinal axis of the drill pipe section 14. This rotational motion results in tightening of the threaded connection between the drill pipe section 14 and the drill string 16. The winch 24 is connected to a drive system 26 for rotation thereof.\nA snub line 28 has one end thereof connected to the distal end of the Break-Out Tong 12 and the other end thereof connected to one end of a load cell 30. The other end of the load cell 30 is connected to a snub post 32. The snub line 28 is operable to restrain movement of the Break Out Tong 12 in the direction of rotation of the Make-Out Tong 10 and the drill pipe section 14, thus restraining movement of the drill string 16 to allow the interconnection to be \"torqued up\". The load cell-30 is functional to measure the linear force on the snub line 28 as a function of the force supplied to the Make-Up Tong 10 by the winch 24. This force is transferred through the connection between the drill pipe section 14 and drill string 16. The load cell 30 can be of the type manufactured by Eaton Corporation and can have any range from 1000 to 100,000 pounds. As a practical matter, load cells have restricted ranges to supply certain degrees of accuracy for a given output voltage range and, therefore, it is necessary to select the proper range load cell for the particular application. In the preferred embodiment, the load cell 30 is connected to a controller 34 for either indicating the force to the driller or controlling the operation of the drive system 26. The operation of the controller 34 is described in more detail in co-pending Patent Application Ser. No. 525,094 filed on Aug. 22, 1983.\nThe snub line 28 is disposed at a 90° angle with respect to the center line of the Break-Out Tong 12. To calculate the torque on the connections, it is only necessary to multiply the force on the snub line 28 by the length of the moment arm, the moment arm defined by the perpendicular distance between the force vector of the snub line 28 and the rotational axis of the drill section 14. By maintaining a 90° angular relationship between the snub line 28 and the Break-Out Tong 12, the center line of the Break-Out Tong 12 coincides with the moment arm. Therefore, the force measured by the load cell 30 is directly proportional to the torque.\nIf the load cell 30 were placed in series with the chain 22, the torque calculation would be a combination of the force applied to the chain 22, the length of the Make-Up Tong 10 and the cosine of the angular deviation of the Make-Up Tong 10 from a perpendicular position with the chain 22. This would result in an error which must be accounted for by the driller. For example, if the Make-Up Tong 10 were 15° off perpendicular, the effective moment arm would be shorter and a 3.4% reduction in torque would result. By applying more force, the driller can account for this but he also must account for the additional change in angular deviation and resulting length of the moment arm. This problem is solved by utilizing the combined Break-Out Tong 12 and snub line 28 which are stationary with respect to rotational movement of the drill pipe section 14.\nIn addition to maintaining a constant length for the moment arm of the torque calculation, location of the load cell 30 in series with the snub line 28 minimizes damage thereto. When the load cell is located in series with the chain 22, substantial abuse can result. This is due to the fact that the chain is constantly being disconnected and connected to the Make-Up Tong 10 during the drilling of a hole. During disconnection, the chain with the load cell 30 attached thereto is normally laid on the surface of the drilling platform. Due to the expense of load cells, it is desirable to prevent this abuse. Therefore, a distinct advantage is realized by locating the load cell 30 in the protected position in series with the snub line 28.\nReferring now to FIG. 3, there is illustrated an alternate method for torquing the connection between the drill pipe section 14 and the drill string 16 in accordance with the present invention. Like numerals refer to like parts in the various FIGURES. A cable 36 has one end thereof attached to the distal end of the Break-Out Tong 12 and the other end thereof wrapped about a winch 38. The winch 38 is operable to wind the cable 36 thereabout to rotate the Break-Out Tong 12 and the connected drill string 16 to tighten the connection between the drill string 16 and the drill pipe section 14. To accomplish this, the Break-Out Tong 12 is rotated in the opposite direction to that of the Make-Up Tong 10.\nA snub line 40 has one end thereof attached to the distal end of the Make-Up Tong 10 and the other end thereof connected to a load cell 42. The load cell 42 is similar to the load cell 30. The other end of the load cell 42 is attached to a snub post 44. The load cell 42 measures the linear force on the snub line 40 and this is input to the controller 34. During retraction of the cable 36, the snub line 28 which is connected to the Break-Out Tong 12, remains slack and does not supply an opposing force. In addition, the chain 22 is unwrapped from the winch 24 to allow free rotation of the Make-Up Tong 10. The angle between the Make-Up Tong 10 and the snub line 40 when the snub line 40 is taut is approximately 90°, and, as described above with reference to the Break-Out Tong 12 and the snub line 28, this angle is stationary for all positions of the Break-Out Tong 12.\nIn summary, there has been provided an apparatus for monitoring torque by measuring a linear force applied to a moment arm with respect to the interconnection that is being torqued. During torquing of the connection between two drill pipe sections, a restraining force is applied to the other drill pipe section on a second Tong. The angular position between the direction of the restraining force and the second Tong is maintained constant such that the moment arm for the torque calculations does not vary for all angular positions of the torquing Tong. Therefore, the linear force measured by the load cell is directly proportional to the torque and no adjustment is necessary to determine the actual torque as a function of angular deviations on the torquing Tong.\nAlthough the preferred embodiment has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US1734482 *||Jul 7, 1928||Nov 5, 1929||Greve Edgar E||Rotary with power-measuring means|\n|US2527456 *||Mar 18, 1949||Oct 24, 1950||Schmeling William F||Tension measuring means for tong arms|\n|US3606664 *||Apr 4, 1969||Sep 21, 1971||Exxon Production Research Co||Leak-proof threaded connections|\n|US4444273 *||Mar 3, 1981||Apr 24, 1984||Ruby Glenn E||Torque control system for catheads|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US4730254 *||Feb 3, 1986||Mar 8, 1988||Torque Systems, Inc.||Drill string make-up and breakout torque control system and apparatus|\n|US6385837 *||Mar 27, 2000||May 14, 2002||Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd.||Method and apparatus for fixedly connecting threaded tubes, and recording medium storing control program for practicing or controlling those method and apparatus|\n|US6532648||Mar 12, 2002||Mar 18, 2003||Central Motor Wheel Co., Ltd.||Apparatus for fixedly connecting threaded tubes, and recording medium storing control program|\n|US7958787||Feb 24, 2009||Jun 14, 2011||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular torque wrench|\n|US8042432||Feb 24, 2009||Oct 25, 2011||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular torque wrench|\n|US8074537||Sep 10, 2007||Dec 13, 2011||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular spin-in and spin-out detection for making-up and breaking-out tubular strings|\n|US8490520||Nov 10, 2011||Jul 23, 2013||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular spin-in and spin-out detection for making-up and breaking-out tubular strings|\n|US9097070||Feb 25, 2009||Aug 4, 2015||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Apparatus for automated oilfield torque wrench set-up to make-up and break-out tubular strings|\n|US9404324||Jun 26, 2013||Aug 2, 2016||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular spin-in and spin-out detection for making-up and breaking-out tubular strings|\n|US20080060481 *||Sep 10, 2007||Mar 13, 2008||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular spin-in and spin-out detection for making-up and breaking-out tubular strings|\n|US20090205442 *||Feb 24, 2009||Aug 20, 2009||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular torque wrench|\n|US20090211405 *||Feb 24, 2009||Aug 27, 2009||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular torque wrench|\n|US20090217788 *||Feb 25, 2009||Sep 3, 2009||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Methods and apparatus for automated oilfield torque wrench set-up to make-up and break-out tubular strings|\n|CN101529046B *||Aug 24, 2006||Sep 16, 2015||坎里格钻探技术有限公司||油田管式扭矩扳手|\n|WO1993022640A1 *||Apr 30, 1993||Nov 11, 1993||Terry Hall||A system for measuring the torque applied to a threaded connection between sections of oilfield pipe|\n|WO2008022425A1 *||Aug 24, 2006||Feb 28, 2008||Canrig Drilling Technology Ltd.||Oilfield tubular torque wrench|\n|U.S. Classification||73/862.25, 173/176|\n|Cooperative Classification||E21B19/166, E21B19/162|\n|European Classification||E21B19/16C2, E21B19/16B2|\n|Mar 30, 1984||AS||Assignment|\nOwner name: ANALOG DATA SYSTEMS, INC., 120, 4125 KELLER SPRING\nFree format text: ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST.;ASSIGNOR:BYRNE, PAUL;REEL/FRAME:004245/0453\nEffective date: 19840320\n|May 27, 1986||CC||Certificate of correction|\n|Sep 5, 1989||REMI||Maintenance fee reminder mailed|\n|Feb 4, 1990||LAPS||Lapse for failure to pay maintenance fees|\n|Apr 24, 1990||FP||Expired due to failure to pay maintenance fee|\nEffective date: 19900204", "label": "Yes"}

Oftentimes, such activities can best be carried out if the equipment operator has not only the necessary eye protection against the potential injury causing aspects of the task, but also a close-up view of the object or objects upon which work is to be undertaken. In the case of welding, a welder may be able to produce a higher quality weld if, during the welding process, the welder has a close range view of a joint at which two or more components are to be welded together. Similarly, a machinist may be able to provide a better machined article by having an enlarged view of the blank to be turned during the machining process. In these and other instances, better visional definition obtained by the operator can result in better visual control over the process, and better control can in turn account for better end results.\nIn order to achieve the aforedescribed visual capabilities, protective eye masks have been outfitted with optical lenses, frequently embodied in the form of slide-like plates, which can be used either alone or in conjunction with other see-through barriers making up a typical protective eye mask. A conventional technique for determining which one of a number of optical lenses is best suited to provide the required amount of visual acuity for any particular individual involves traditional techniques of vision analysis, which are frequently carried out at a location away from the lens usage site and which very often do not allow for immediate delivery of the lens found to be appropriate. Examples of known devices employed to perform traditional analytical techniques are provided in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,740,072; 4,452,515 and 4,027,954.\nThe availability of a simple, low cost apparatus for selecting an optical lens for a protective eye mask, which can be quickly and easily operated by the individual mask wearer at or near the point of mask use and which contains a readily available, immediately usable supply of lenses will have considerable appeal.\nThe apparatus of the present invention is comprised generally of: a box-like casing; a lens evaluation compartment fixed to the casing; a drum member situated within and movably attached to the lens evaluation compartment; a plurality of slide-like plates, each of the slide-like plates being provided with an optical lens, the plurality of slide-like plates being fixed to the drum member; and a viewing means releasably attachable to the lens evaluation compartment for use with the drum member and the plurality of optical lenses fixed thereto. The box-like casing, which may be fabricated of any sturdy material, includes a horizontal base, a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, a right side panel and an interior dividing panel. The lens evaluation compartment is an elongated, open-backed enclosure having a bottom member, a top member, a left side member, a right side member and a front member having a rectangular opening. The lens evaluation compartment has a length, height and depth that permits its bottom member to be fixed to a horizontal shelf member formed by an upper portion of the front panel of the box-like casing. The drum member, which is hollow and is shaped like a multi-faceted prism, includes two drum ends and a plurality of drum sides that extend between the drum ends. The drum ends have rotatable fastening means that extend through the left and right side members of the lens evaluation compartment and that engage knob-like rotating means use to turn the drum member in the lens evaluation compartment. Each of the drum sides is comprised of a frame-like holding means that is transversely separated by a dividing member into left and right portions. Each frame-like holding means is dimensionally the same, with regard to its length and width, as the opening provided in the front member of the lens evaluation compartment. Each left and right portion of the holding means securely contains one of the slide-like plates, which is provided with an optical lens. The drum member is positioned in the lens evaluation compartment so that each of the frame-like holding means can be rotated into parallel alignment with the opening provided in the front member of the lens evaluation compartment.\nThe interior dividing panel of the box-like casing is positioned between the left and right side panels of the casing so that two equally-sized, vertically extending compartments having a rear wall are formed in the casing. The interior dividing panel further extends into the lens evaluation compartment and creates two equally-sized lens evaluation subcompartments that adjoin the vertically extending casing compartments behind them. With the lens evaluation subcompartments and casing compartments being so configured, the rear wall of each casing compartment will be viewable from the adjoined subcompartments. On the rear wall of each casing compartment, there are displayed a plurality of written characters, designs and/or symbols that enable a user of the apparatus of the present invention to select an optical lens.\nThe viewing means attachable to the apparatus is an eye mask assembly that includes a peripheral enclosure and a viewing frame which is capable of receiving, but does not contain, an optical lens, i.e., the viewing frame is devoid of an optical lens or any barrier material during the lens selection process. The viewing frame is secured to the peripheral enclosure and is provided with a means for releasably and slidably attaching the viewing frame/peripheral enclosure assembly to the top and bottom edges of the rectangular opening of the front member of the lens evaluation compartment. Being so attached, the eye mask assembly can be moved laterally in the rectangular opening and thereby permit a user of the mask to alternately look at the written characters, designs and/or symbols on each rear wall of the left and right casing compartments through each of the slide-like plates aligned with the rectangular opening.

One of the strips 37 runs along the length of the top edge of the opening 36 and the other of the strips 37 runs along the bottom edge of the opening 36. In the preferred embodiment, the strips 37 are fabricated from extruded plastic; however, the strips 37 may be produced from other known materials such as metal or nylon to name a few.\nThe drum member 40 is hollow in its interior and resembles a portion of a multi-faceted prism. The drum member 40 is comprised of a pair of parallel-spaced drum end members 41 and a plurality of rectangular drum side members 42 that are fixed to and extend between the drum end members 41. Each of the drum end members 41 have a plurality of peripheral edges and each of the drum side members 42 are fixed at their opposing ends to one peripheral edge of each of the drum end members 41. Each drum side member 42 is adjoined laterally by at least one of the other drum side members so that a generally continuous, side-by-side arrangement of the drum side members 42 about the end members 41 is the result. Such arrangement of the drum side members 42 generally encloses half of the periphery of each of the drum side members 41. Each of the drum end members 41 is provided with a centrally situated drum end aperture through each of which apertures passes a rotatable fastening means such as a threaded bolt or screw having a nut that secures the bolt or screw to the drum side member 41. Each of the rotatable fastening means extends outwardly from each of the drum side members toward and through an orifice provided in each of the left and right side members 33 and 34 of the lens evaluation compartment 30. A knob-like rotating means 43 is threadably attached to the outer end of each of the rotatable fastening means. The knob-like rotating means 43 permit a user of the apparatus 10 to turn the drum 40 within the lens evaluation compartment 30.\nEach side members 42 of the drum 40 includes a frame-like holder 44 that is transversely separated by a divider 45 into left and right holder portions 45a and 45b, each of which holder portions are of substantially equal areas. The frame-like holder 44 is dimensionally the same with respect to its length and width as the rectangular opening 36 in the front member 35 of the lens evaluation compartment 30. Each of the left and right holder portions 45a and 45b of each frame-like holder 44 one of the slide-like plates 50. Each of the slide-like plates 50 will be transparent, impact resistant glass or high strength plastic and will further have the characteristics of an optical lens. The optical lens characteristics of each of the slide-like plates 50 will be different. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the slide-like plates 50 will have the characteristics of magnifying optical lenses. It is envisioned that there will be a total of eight slide-like plates 50 and a total of four frame-like holders 44, with each of the holders 44 containing two of the slide-like plates 50. It is contemplated that the magnifying lens power of each of the slide-like plates 50 will differ in increments of one-quarter diopter, with the lowest magnifying lens power being +0.75 diopters and the highest magnifying lens power being +2.50 diopters. It is further contemplated that the slide-like plates 50 will be arranged on the drum member 40 so that a first drum side member 42 will contain plates 50 with powers of +0.75 diopters and +1.00 diopters beside one another, a second drum side member 42 will contain plates 50 with powers of +1.25 diopters and 1.50 diopters beside one another, etc.\nThe interior dividing panel 26 of the casing 20 is vertically situated midway between the left and right side panels 24 and 25 and divides the casing 20 into a left casing compartment and a right casing compartment. The left casing compartment has a left casing rear wall 23a and the right casing compartment has a right casing rear wall 23b. Each of the rear walls 23a and 23b are provided with one or more lines of letters 80 printed or affixed thereon. The interior dividing panel 26 includes a vertically extending portion 26a that is received by and serves to partition the lens evaluation compartment 30 into a left and a right subcompartment. The left subcompartment of the lens evaluation compartment 30 openly adjoins the left casing compartment of the casing 20 so that the left rear wall 23 and the letters 80 thereon are visible from the left subcompartment. Similarly, the right subcompartment of the lens evaluation compartment 30 openly adjoins the right casing compartment of the casing 20 so that the right rear wall 23 and the letters 80 thereon are visible from the right subcompartment.\nThe viewing means 60 is an eye protection mask and is comprised of a peripheral enclosure 61 that is molded to snugly rest against the forehead, temples and nose area of a user of the apparatus 10 and thus enclose the user's eyes from regions above, below and to the sides of the viewing means 60. The viewing means is further comprised of a rectangularly shaped, frame-like viewing member 62 that is securely attached to the peripheral enclosure 61 at a front opening thereof. While the viewing member 62 is provided with means 63 and 64 to hold an optical lens or a barrier material, it is devoid of any such obstructions during the lens selection process. The frame-like viewing member 62 is provided with a laterally running, outwardly projecting channel 65 on the top and bottom edges of the viewing member 62. The channels 65 function to interlock with the channel-like strips provided on the top and bottom edges of the opening 36 and thus allow the viewing means to be freely slid from one side of the opening 36 to the other side at the will of the user of the apparatus 10.\nThe drum member 40 is situated in the lens evaluation compartment 30 so that when the apparatus 10 is in use each side member 42 of the drum member 40 can by use of the rotating knobs 43 be brought close to and in parallel alignment with rectangular opening 36 of the lens evaluation compartment 30. The user of the apparatus 10 may evaluate all of the optical lenses contained in the slide-like plates 50 to find the most suitable of them by rotating each side member 42 containing two of the slide-like plates 50 held in the frame-like holders 44 into alignment with the rectangular opening 36 and by viewing through the plates 50 the letters 80 provided on the rear walls 23a and 23b and then immediately selecting the desired lens for insertion into a eye mask 60 from any one of a number of lens storage compartments 70 provided in the lower portion 22a of the front panel 22 of the casing 20.\nWhile the above described preferred embodiment of the present invention disclosed the use of eight slide like plates 50 it should be understood that the present invention is not intended to be limited to such number of plates 50; rather the invention is intended to include any practical number whether such practical number may be greater or fewer than eight.

{"text": "Russian president demanded that exports of Russian gas to \"unfriendly\" countries be settled in rubles. The demand has raised concerns in Germany about possible supply disruptions and the impact on industry and households if utilities do not pay in robles. Europe gets about 40% of its gas from Russia. Last year, Europe imported about 155 billion cubic meters. Germany, Europe's largest economy, depends heavily on Russian gas.\nThe chief executive of Germany's E.ON said the German economy would face \"significant damage, which should be avoided if possible\" without Russian supplies. He also said it would take Germany three years to wean itself off Russian gas.\nIn the event of a supply disruption, Germany's gas network regulator would prioritize home heating over industrial use, so energy-hungry manufacturers such as steelmakers would be the first to suffer, he said.\nThe volatile international situations will continue to affect the markets and prices of many commodities like the CoCrW Powder .\nAbout 3D Printing Alloy CoCrW Powder:\n3D Printing Alloy CoCrW Powder is one of the Stellite alloys, which are hard alloys resistant to various types of wear and corrosion as well as high-temperature oxidation. Namely commonly referred to as cobalt-based alloy. Initially, the Stellite alloy is a cobalt-chromium binary alloy and later developed into a cobalt-chromium tungsten ternary composition. Cobalt-Cr-W alloy is an alloy with cobalt as the main component, containing a considerable amount of chromium and tungsten and a small amount of nickel, molybdenum, silicon, carbon, niobium, tantalum and occasionally iron. Depending on the composition of the alloy, they can be made into welding wire, powder for hard surfacing, thermal spraying, spray welding and other processes, as well as cast and forged parts and powder metallurgy parts.\nThe basic composition of cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy is: Co:50%~58%,Cr:28%~30%,W:4%~6%,Ni:2%~4% and other alloy composition, melting point is 1470℃.As can be seen from the composition of the alloy, the cobalt and tungsten content of the alloy are very high, which makes the material has excellent high-temperature performance and has poor thermal conductivity. It is these characteristics that make the cobalt-chromium tungsten alloy in the grinding process spark is dark red, the number of sparks is very small, the metal from the workpiece surface is easy to block the grinding wheel, so that the grinding conditions quickly deteriorate, at the same time produce a lot of grinding heat can not quickly spread, resulting in low efficiency, workpiece surface burns.

Depending on the composition of the alloy, they can be made into welding wires, powders for hard surface substrates, thermal spray, and spray. They can also be made into castings, forgings and powder metallurgy parts.\nCOCRW powder can be used in laser/electron beam additive manufacturing (SLM/EBM), powder metallurgy (PM), spraying, welding and other processes. The powder is mainly used for 3D printing of biomedical materials, such as teeth, body supports, artificial joints, etc.\nCobalt-Cr-W alloy is widely used in locomotive engines, nuclear power plant valves, Marine engines and various aircraft.\nEarly cobalt-chromium - tungsten alloys were produced by non - vacuum smelting and casting processes. Later developed alloys, such as MAR-M509 alloy, which contains more active elements such as zirconium and boron, are produced by vacuum smelting and vacuum casting.\nGenerally, cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy lacks a uniform strengthening phase. Although its strength is low at medium temperature (only 50-75% of that of nickel-based alloy), it has high strength, good thermal fatigue resistance, thermal corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance at temperatures higher than 980℃, and good weldability. It is suitable for the production of guide vane and nozzle guide vane of aviation jet engine, industrial gas turbine, naval gas turbine and nozzle, etc.\nStorage Condition of CoCrW Powder:\nThe damp reunion will affect CoCrW powder dispersion performance and using effects, therefore, CoCrW powder should be sealed in vacuum packing and stored in cool and dry room, the CoCrW powder can not be exposure to air. In addition, the CoCrW powder should be avoided under stress.\nPacking & Shipping of CoCrW Powder:\nWe have many different kinds of packing which depend on the CoCrW powder quantity.\nCoCrW powder packing:vacuum packing, 100g, 500g or 1kg/bag, 25kg/barrel, or as your request.\nCoCrW powder shipping: could be shipped out by sea, by air, by express, as soon as possible once payment receipt.\nLuoyang Tongrun Nano Technology Co.

{"text": "Electric motors are considered to be a very technical piece of equipment and if your machines or tools contain an electric motor, then you better know what causes its failure and take measures to prevent the same. And the best way to get through with a problem is knowing what can cause it to happen and taking care of it.\nThe electric motors come with a life span. Moreover, their proper care is vital in order for them to last long. If you do not take appropriate maintenance measures for your electric motor, then it is less likely to go a long way. Well, there can be numerous causes of electric motor failure.\nOne of the known reason is contamination, people usually do not take proper care of their electric motors as a result a lot of dust, dirt and harmful chemicals get accumulated on it which ultimately affects the motor and causes failure. Another known reason is over-heating; in fact over-heating is the most prominent reason. It is even said that 55% of electric motor failures are caused due to over-heating. Other causes are low resistance, overloading, winding failures, electrical or mechanical issues, etc.\nLet’s talk about some of these causes in detail:\n- Undoubtedly low resistance causes failure of electric motor. Now the question is what causes low resistance? Well, the cause behind low resistance is the degradation of the insulation of the windings, which is further driven by corrosion, any sort of physical damage or overheating.\n- This ultimately leads to lacking isolation between the motor windings which eventually causes short circuits and leakages and at the end motor failure.\n- Now in order to avoid the issue of low resistance, the only possible solution is to conduct a regular inspection of the insulation and keep a check on the signs of wear and tear. And if it demands necessary replacement, then it should be done without causing any delays before it leads to total failure.\n- Over current or overload is caused due to extreme flow of current within the motor windings exceeding the amount of current which the electric motor is actually designed to carry. The cause behind this could be a low supply of voltage, thereby leading to motor taking in extra current in an attempt to sustain its torque. The same can also be a result of excessive supply of voltage or short circuits.\n- The only way to prevent electric overload is to install efficient over-current security that will eventually detect an overcurrent and cease the supply.\nOther mechanical issues:\n- Other mechanical and electrical issues are the most common causes of electric motor failure. You need to keep a check on your motor and the moment you notice any related signs, immediately resort to its repair else it will soon result in motor failure.\n- It is best to opt for a regular maintenance strategy for the well being of your electric motor and stick to that. In addition to that, get regular inspections of your motor done because this way you will get to know about the condition of your electric motor and save it from failure.", "label": "Yes"}

S, Dr. G. V. Naveen Prakash\n1Department of Mechanical Engineering, VVCE, Mysore-570002\nDiesel engines are the most efficient prime movers for transportation, agricultural machinery and industries. The rapid depletion of petroleum reserves and rising oil prices has led to the search for alternative fuels. Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel derived from vegetable oils and animal fats holds good promises as an eco-friendly alternative to diesel fuel. Transesterification process is the most widely used technology for producing biodiesel from vegetable oil. In the present investigation, mixed pongamia-coconut methyl ester is produced through transesterification process by considering pongamia and coconut oil in equal proportions using NaOH catalyst under lab set up. The obtained biodiesel is blended with petroleum diesel for various ratios (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) to evaluate its fuel properties. Experimental investigations were conducted on unmodified single cylinder diesel engine using different blends of mixed biodiesel at variable loads and fixed injection pressure. The result indicates that fuel properties and engine performance are better up to biodiesel blend B20.\nKeywords: Transesterification, Pongamia oil, Coconut oil, Engine Performance, sodium hydroxide.\nFuels derived from renewable biological resources for use in diesel engines are known as biodiesel. Biodiesel is environmentally friendly liquid fuel similar to petrol-diesel in combustion properties. Increasing environmental concern, diminishing petroleum reserves and agriculture based economy of our country are the driving forces to promote biodiesel as an alternate fuel. Since India is net importer of vegetable oils, edible oils cannot be used for production of biodiesel. India has the potential to be a leading world producer of biodiesel, as\nbiodiesel can be harvested and sourced from non- edible oils like Jatropha Curcas, Pongamia Pinnata, Neem (Azadirachta indica), Mahua, castor, linseed, Kusum (Schlechera trijuga), etc .\nThe first use of vegetable oil in a compression ignition engine was first demonstrated by Rudolph diesel using peanut oil in his diesel engine . Later with the availability of cheap petroleum, crude oil fractions were refined to serve as diesel, a fuel for CI engines. During the period of World War-II, vegetable oils were again used as fuel in emergency situations when fuel availability became scarce. Nowadays, due to limited resources of fossil fuels, rising crude oil prices and the increasing concerns for environment, there has been renewed focus on vegetable oils and animal fats as an alternative to petroleum fuels .The use of oils from coconut, soybean, sunflower, safflower, peanut, linseed, rapeseed and palm oil amongst others have been attempted. The long term use of vegetable oils led to injector coking and the thickening of crankcase oil which resulted in piston ring sticking. Therefore, vegetable oils are not used in SI engines because of endurance issues .\nResearchers have proved that when the vegetable oil is converted to esters of alcohols by transesterification, it becomes a potential alternate to diesel and the term biodiesel is used to represent such fuels. Biodiesel can be used in its neat form or as a blend with conventional diesel fuel in diesel engines and the use of biodiesel in diesel engines requires no hardware modification. In addition, biodiesel is a superior fuel than diesel because of lower sulphur content, higher flash point and lower aromatic content .\nConsiderable efforts have been made to develop vegetable oil derivatives that approximate the properties and performance of hydrocarbons-based diesel fuels. The problem with substituting triglycerides for diesel fuel is mostly associated with high viscosity, low volatility and polyunsaturated characters. These can be changed in at least four ways: pyrolysis, micro emulsion, dilution and transesterification .\nThe transesterification process is the reaction of a triglyceride (fat or oil) with an alcohol to form esters and glycerol. A triglyceride has a glycerine molecule as its base with three long chain fatty acids attached.\nDuring the transesterification process, the triglyceride is reacted with alcohol in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst. The alcohol reacts with the fatty acids to form the mono-alkyl ester, or biodiesel and crude glycerol. In general, methanol or ethanol is the alcohol used (methanol produces methyl esters, ethanol produces ethyl esters). The reaction between the fat or oil and the alcohol is a reversible reaction and hence alcohol must be added in excess to drive the reaction towards the right and ensure complete conversion. The products of the reaction are the biodiesel itself and glycerol. The experimental methodology of producing biodiesel is shown in Figure 1.\nFigure 1. Biodiesel production process\nExperimental set up:\nThe experiments were conducted on a kirloskar made four stroke single cylinder water cooled direct inject compression ignition engine without any hardware modifications. Mixed pongamiaCoconut biodiesel blends (B10, B20, B30, B40, and B50) and diesel was used to test a conventional engine. The engine was started by manual hand cranking and test is conducted for various loads with constant engine speed of 1500 RPM. Performance parameters like brake power, brake specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency were evaluated. The engine specifications are given in the Table 1.\nTable 1. Engine Specifications\nSingle cylinder, four stroke, water cooled\nBore & Stroke\n3.75 KW at 1500 RPM\nHand start with cranking handle\nResults and Discussion\nTable 2 shows the fuel properties of Diesel, Mixed biodiesel and its blends. Biodiesel blends of Mixed Pongamia-Coconut methyl esters with diesel on 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% volume basis was prepared and fuel properties are measured following standard procedure. The properties of mixed biodiesel and its blends are compared with ASTM biodiesel standards as shown in Table 2.\nTable 2. Fuel properties of Diesel, Mixed biodiesel and its blends\nFlash point (oC)\nFire point (oC)\nCalorific value (KJ/Kg)\nFigure 2. Transesterification\nFigure 3. Mixed Pongamia-Coconut biodiesel blends\nSpecific fuel consumption:\nSpecific fuel consumption is a measure of the fuel efficiency of an engine. It is the rate of fuel consumption divided by the power produced.\nFig. 4 shows the variation of specific fuel consumption with load for Mixed Pongamia and Coconut biodiesel blends for a conventional engine. From Fig. 4 it is observed that mixed biodiesel blends B10 and B20 have specific fuel consumption close to diesel. It is also observed that the specific fuel consumption of all the biodiesel blends is higher than diesel at all the loads. A higher proportion of mixed oil in the blends increases the viscosity which in turn increased specific fuel consumption due to poor atomization of the fuel.\nFigure 4. Variation of Specific Fuel Consumption with Load\nBrake thermal efficiency:\nFig.5 shows the variation of Brake Thermal Efficiency with load for Mixed Pongamia and Coconut biodiesel blends for a conventional engine. Brake Thermal Efficiency is defined as brake power of engine as a function of the thermal input from the fuel.\nFrom the Fig. 5 it is also observed that blends B20 and B30 have the efficiency comparatively closer to diesel. The maximum efficiency obtained for mixed biodiesel blend is 21.18% which is almost close to\nthe efficiency of diesel. Blend B50 shows the minimum efficiency at all the loads. The decrease in brake thermal efficiency for higher blends may be due to the lower heating value and higher viscosity of blends with a higher proportion of biodiesel.\nFigure 5. Variation of Brake Thermal Efficiency with Load\nA single step process i.e., Transesterification is carried out for the mixed pongamia and coconut oil which contained low percentage of FFA to obtain the biodiesel. It was observed that the obtained biodiesel has very high density and viscosity which made it not possible to use in its pure form but it can be blended with diesel to obtain properties almost similar to that of diesel. The blends were prepared with biodiesel percentages of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 and the following conclusions were drawn from this investigation.\nMixed Pongamia and coconut biodiesel satisfies the important fuel properties as per ASTM specification of biodiesel.\nIt is observed that for the biodiesel blends of 10% and 20% the density, fire point, flash point and calorific value were very close to that of diesel, which makes them suitable for using them as an alternative for diesel.\nThe mixed pongamia and coconut shows higher biodiesel yield of 72.5%.\nThe mixed biodiesel blend B10 shows the higher brake thermal efficiency which is slightly less than that of diesel.\nThe specific fuel consumption of mixed biodiesel blends B10 and B20 shows value closer to diesel.\nMixed pongamia and coconut biodiesel blends B10 and B20 can be used as alternative fuel in diesel engine\nReferences:[1.] P.Venkateswara Rao and M.

Such wear varies greatly upon the extent of use and damage by foreign objects such as rocks and the like. The cutter bar is attached to the power shaft with a nut. The power shaft is held by the compression of the engine and tends to rotate with the nut during removal of the cutter bar unless the shaft is held with a pair of vice grips or the like. If the mower is gasoline powered, it is advantageous to drain the gas tank first since the mower is stood on its side while the cutter bar is being removed.\nVarious types of rotary cutter bars with replaceable blades have been proposed to avoid removing the cutter bar for resharpening or replacement. In the main, however, the replaceable blades have proved difficult to remove requiring upending the mower in the same manner that is required for removing the cutter bar. In addition, they have also presented problems of one kind or another with regard to complex fabrications, strength, cost or the like. Included in the prior art have been cutter bars with blades having a plurality of cutting edges, a sharp one of which can be indexed into cutting position but, unlike the present invention, only after upending the mower and detaching the blade from the cutter bar.\nIn view of the above, there has remained a need for a cutter bar with indexable blades for rotary lawn mowers wherein the indexable blades are replaceable and easily indexed into cutting position. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide such a cutter bar. Other objects and features of the invention will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.\nThe objects of invention are satisfied by a cutter bar with indexable blades for a rotary lawn mower wherein the cutter bar has a recess on opposite ends thereof for receiving the indexable blades. Each indexable blade is formed as a plate with a plurality of sides sharpened into cutting edges and a socket with a hole for receiving the head of a bolt. Each recess in the cutter bar also has a socket into which the socket of the indexable blade is fitted and a hole for receiving the shank of the bolt. The indexable blade is held in the recess in the cutter bar with a nut which is threaded on the bolt. The indexable blade can be indexed on the bolt such that a new cutting edge is presented along the leading edge of the cutter bar by loosening the nut enough such that the indexable blade drops out of the recess and can be rotated one flat. When all of the cutting edges have been dulled, the nut can be removed and the indexable blade replaced.\nIn a preferred form, the plate is quadrilateral in shape and the bolt is a carriage bolt, the neck of which is received in the hole in the socket of the indexable blade and in the hole in the socket of the cutter bar. Means are also provided for retaining the nut on the shank when it is loosened and for locking the nut on the bolt.\nThe invention accordingly comprises the constructions hereinafter further described and their equivalents, the scope of the invention being indicated in the subjoined claims.\nFIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a lawn mower equipped with a rotary cutter bar with indexable blades in accordance with the present invention;\nFIG. 2 is a top plan view of the cutter bar;\nFIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the cutter bar;\nFIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 in FIG. 3; and,\nFIG. 5 is an exploded view showing the manner in which the indexable blades are attached to the cutter bar.\nReferring to the drawings more particularly by reference character, reference numeral 10 refers to a rotary lawn mower having a power shaft 12 providing a support for cutter bar 14 with indexable blades 16 in accordance with the present invention. Cutter bar 14 operates in a horizontal plane and has a hole 18 and slots 20 or the like for attachment to power shaft 12 in the usual manner.\nAs illustrated in FIGS. 2-4, cutter bar 14 includes longitudinal reinforcing ribs 22 and an upwardly bent portion 24 at opposite ends thereof forming an air flange. Air flanges 24 project rearwardly of the trailing edge of cutter bar 14 and provide a lifting action on the grass facilitating cutting and movement of the cut grass towards a mower discharge outlet 26. As shown, they are preferably formed as an extension on the trailing edge of cutter bar 14 for use as described below.\nIndexable blades 16 are formed as a plate 28 having a plurality of sides 30 which are beveled to provide a plurality of cutting edges 32. The particular blade shown in FIG. 5 is square but blades with more or less sides can be fabricated. Indexable blades 16 include a socket 34 formed in the top face of plate 28 with a hole 36 formed therein for receipt of a bolt 38 by means of which it is secured with a nut 40 to cutter bar 14. To prevent indexable blades 16 from rotating, it is preferred that hole 36 be square and that bolt 38 be a carriage bolt, the neck of which fits in hole 36. The depth of socket 34 is selected such that the head of bolt 38 is generally flush with the bottom face of plate 28 to minimize interference with the cutting action.\nIndexable blades 16 are received in cutter bar 14 at opposite ends thereof in upwardly offset recesses 42 such that the bottom face of plate 28 is generally flush with the bottom face of the balance of cutter bar 14. Recesses 42 have a size and shape to provide a bearing surface for a portion of indexable blades 16, a typical one of which is illustrated in FIG. 5.\nAs shown in FIG. 5, recesses 42 are quadrilateral because indexable blade 16 has four sides. Each recess 42 has a shoulder 44 along one side and another 46 at the back serving as a stop for indexable blades 16. Shoulder 46 is reinforced by air flange 24 which is positioned just behind recess 42 along the trailing edge of cutter bar 14. Shoulders 44 and 46 are beveled at generally the same slope 48 as cutting edges 32 providing a close fit between mating surfaces to prevent cut grass from catching and impairing the cutting action. Recesses 42 are open at the other side opposite shoulder 44 and notched back at 50 and open opposite shoulder 46.\nWith continuing reference to FIG. 5, recesses 42 include a socket 52 for receipt of socket 34 associated with plate 28. Socket 52 further includes a hole 54 in registry with hole 36 for receipt of bolt 38 by means of which, as aforementioned, indexable blades 16 are attached with nut 40 to cutter bar 14. For safety reasons, a locking means shown as locking washer 56 is provided under nut 40 and a means for retaining the nut shown as a cotter pin 58 which is inserted through a hole 60 in the shank of bolt 38 after nut 40 has been attached. A small tolerance is preferably left between sockets 52 and 34, the latter one of which serves as an auxiliary locking means working against nut 40 when blades 16 are tightened up on cutter bar 14. As best seen in FIG. 2, the leading edge of cutter bar 14 is preferably curved adjacent recess 42 such that the inboard leading edge of indexable blades 16 is flush with the leading edge of cutter bar 14.\nIn use, cutter bar 14 with a set of indexable blades 16 already attached is substituted for a conventional cutter bar in rotary lawn mower 10. When cutting edge 32 of indexable blades 16 is dulled, blades 16 are indexed one flat. This is easily accomplished by reaching through discharge outlet 26 with a wrench and loosening nut 40. When bolt 38 is a carriage bolt with its neck in holes 36 and 54, the head of bolt 38 is stopped from rotation with nut 40. When cotter pin 58 is present, nut 40 is loosened until plate 28 drops out of recess 42 and hangs on the head of bolt 38 such that indexable blade 16 can be rotated past shoulders 44 and 46. Once this is done, nut 40 is simply retightened and the indexable blade on the opposite end of cutter bar 14 similarly advanced one flat. When all of cutting edges 32 are dulled, cotter pin 58 is pulled out of hole 60, nut 40 removed and indexable blades 16 replaced with new blades.\nDuring operation of the mower, shoulders 44 and 46 and, when 38 is a carriage bolt, holes 36 and 54 prevent rotation of indexable blades 16. It will also be seen that the shear on bolt 38 is partially shared by sockets 34 and 52 and by shoulder 46.\nIn view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained. As various changes could be made in the above invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US1992107 *||Jun 16, 1933||Feb 19, 1935||Courcy Wheeler Horatio Francis||Safety razor|\n|US2527472 *||Jan 18, 1945||Oct 24, 1950||Wolf Raymond H||Lawn mower|\n|US2576884 *||Nov 7, 1949||Nov 27, 1951||George W Leigh||Cutter bar for lawn mowers|\n|US2651159 *||Aug 15, 1950||Sep 8, 1953||Sr Joseph G Rountree||Rotary cutting disk type lawn mower|\n|US2722797 *||Nov 6, 1953||Nov 8, 1955||Strattman Edwin August||Safety cutter blade for rotary type lawn mowers|\n|US2769784 *||Jul 23, 1954||Nov 6, 1956||Exxon Research Engineering Co||Alkylated phenols and stabilized compositions comprising same|\n|US2786322 *||Dec 16, 1955||Mar 26, 1957||Mcevers Wilber C||Power mower blade|\n|US3090187 *||Dec 5, 1960||May 21, 1963||Charles M Livingston||Liquid distributing mower blade|\n|US3103093 *||Dec 15, 1961||Sep 10, 1963||Jr William H House||Rotary cutting blade|\n|US3327460 *||Sep 30, 1964||Jun 27, 1967||Blackstone Arnold S||Blade assembly for a rotary mower|\n|US3563015 *||May 21, 1968||Feb 16, 1971||Renfroe Charlie C||Rotary lawnmower cutter bar|\n|US3949541 *||Nov 14, 1974||Apr 13, 1976||Henry Keith V||Rotary mower blade with detachable end members|\n|US4043104 *||Dec 29, 1976||Aug 23, 1977||Allis-Chalmers Corporation||Mower blade assembly for a lawn mower|\n|US4261162 *||Mar 12, 1979||Apr 14, 1981||Juncker Kenneth J||Blade for user supported cutting equipment for yard or other agricultural purposes|\n|US4611460 *||Oct 25, 1985||Sep 16, 1986||Parker James D||Lawn mower blade with replaceable cutter|\n|US4712364 *||Jun 30, 1986||Dec 15, 1987||Deere & Company||Quick attachable and detachable mower blade assembly|\n|US4750320 *||May 7, 1987||Jun 14, 1988||Liebl Thomas J||Rotary cutting blade having replaceable cutting edge|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US4977735 *||Dec 6, 1989||Dec 18, 1990||Davis John W||Lawn sculpturing method and apparatus|\n|US5259176 *||Feb 24, 1992||Nov 9, 1993||Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha||Cotter device for lawn mower|\n|US5303535 *||Apr 19, 1993||Apr 19, 1994||Smith Joseph L||Lawn mower blade and insert construction|\n|US5438819 *||Apr 28, 1994||Aug 8, 1995||Dallman; Jimmie J.||Blade assembly for a brush cutting machine|\n|US5467586 *||Sep 6, 1994||Nov 21, 1995||Lin; Chun S.||Replaceable cutting blade for a lawn mower blade|\n|US6367235 *||May 1, 2000||Apr 9, 2002||Harry L.

{"text": "Heat Meters Market Analysis\nHeat meters market to amass considerable returns from residential applications by 2024, escalating number of initiatives by regional governments to propel the global product demand\nThe increasing deployment of heating and cooling systems across various commercial, industrial, and household buildings have been fueling heat meters market. The surging concerns among the policymakers and regional governments about energy efficiency has also been having a positive influence on the product demand pertaining to its capability to measure energy consumption within cooling and heating systems. In the cold climatic regions, governments are encouraging people to deploy district heating systems to maintain warmth in the winters. The growing importance of sustainability and energy efficiency across the globe will thus propel heat meters industry share.\nSweden Heat Meters Market Size, By Application, 2017 & 2024 (USD Million)\nOn the grounds of garnering heat and electricity savings, most of the countries have been installing heat meters in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings. The large-scale deployment of energy consumption measuring equipment has generated lucrative opportunities for the giants in heat meters market. In addition, many financial organizations also have been supporting regulators to install heat meters by providing favorable funding. For instance, in 2017, the Europe Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has sanctioned USD 27 million loan to deploy heat meters across the residential sector. Over the last few years, EBRD has been supporting many nations which are looking forward to harnessing sustainability and energy efficiency.\nAnother region where heat meters market has been gaining traction is Kazakhstan, wherein the fluctuating climatic condition has been impelling the product requirement. Apparently, in the summer season, the heat in Kazakhstan can increase beyond 30 degree Celsius and in the freezing winter, the temperature reaches to -40 degree Celsius. Amidst these extreme climatic conditions, energy efficiency is playing a vital role in the region, leading to the deployment of heating and cooling systems. The deployment of heat meters to save electricity and heat will also help district cooling/heating system firms to control the system losses, optimize the energy supply, and reduce the energy wastage. In 2017, the Kazakhstan government fit heat meters in about 45% of households and was planning to cover more than 80% volume of household buildings within three years.\nGet a Sample Copy of this Report:@ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/2597\nIn another instance, the Swiss government and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have also lent support to Ukraine to create more energy efficient homes. In this regard, Ukraine’s State Agency for Energy Efficiency has designed a program dubbed as Warm Loans to improve the heating system of homes. In most of the apartments across Ukraine, district heating systems have already been deployed, but due to more heat loss, energy bills were perpetually high. Reportedly, households in Ukraine account for more than 50% of its overall natural gas production. The remarkably growing awareness among the Ukrainian people about the rising domestic heating bills is thus estimated to fuel heat meters market size.\nThe transforming technology trends across the globe have also had a significant influence on heat meters market share over the last few years. The development of smart meters is one of the next-generation product inventions that helps customers track daily energy use very easily. Considering the benefits of modern technologies to improve the energy efficiency, leading giants in the heat meters market have been adopting various new technology advancements such as IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence). For instance, a team from the Danish smart metering company, Kamstrup, and Finnish electricity firm, Herrfors Nät-Verkko have recently planned to use NB-IoT technology in smart metering. With the help of this technology, the Finnish company can monitor more than 6,000 heat and electricity meters that will result in 10% cost savings.\nThe development of innovative and cost-effective solutions will favorably promote the heat meters industry trends over the years ahead. The supportive stand taken by the regional governments and energy-related organizations to encourage the installation of heat meters will further enhance the industry growth. In line with the increasing deployment of heating and cooling systems mainly across cold climatic regions, heat meters market will generate a revenue of more than USD 1 billion by the end of 2024.\nAuthor Name :Sunil Hebbalkar", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Like the Avigation Type-A 1935 that we covered in 2016, the 2020 variant is in a 41mm stainless steel case. The 2012 model as per the link above was a significantly larger 49mm; a size that historical references aside, clearly put it out of wrist-reach for the vast majority of people. Water resistance for this case is 30m.\nThe Avigation is a monopusher column wheel chronograph inspired by Longines’ historical relationship with aviation and military watches. During the World War 2 era, the most commonly used watch used by the U.S. military was the Type A-11, but there were some other Type A military watches, such as the A-17 and the A-7 specifications. The A-7 was produced during the late 1920s to 1930s and called the ‘Avigation’. It was a chronograph with a Gallet chrono movement and looked like an angled pocket watch strapped to the wrist, hence the look of the modern versions.\nFor those unfamiliar with this style of watch, it was originally rotated so that pilots who wore it on the inside of their wrist could see the time more easily at a glance. They were also especially large watches for this reason (and also so they could be worn outside of a jacket). The traditional oversized crowns, and their designs, were also to enable ease of grip when wearing gloves.\nWhereas the 2016 Avigation Type A 1935 had a white lacquer dial, this new variant’s dial is black, with painted Arabic numerals in a pale beige reminiscent of ageing and patination. The silvered polished hands have Super-LumiNova, as do the numerals.\nThe two-register chronograph layout (30 minute counter and small seconds) with its central 60 seconds hand for the monopusher chronograph function is like the 2016 model, and the familiar Longines modern concession in the form of a date window is still present, inside the small seconds.\nThe back will look familiar as well, as it features the same engraved decoration as the white dial model. Behind it is also the same automatic Calibre L788.2 with a column wheel chronograph beating at 28,800 VPH and with a power reserve of 54 hours.\nComing on a brown alligator strap, the Australian RRP for the Avigation Type A-7 1935 is $5,050.\n[Photo credit: Longines]", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "nScrypt, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, wants to see 3D printing operations running at their full potential. In high-performance industrial atmospheres, that means heavy monitoring to ensure any errors or ongoing system problems are dealt with quickly. To promote precise additive manufacturing processes—mainly with their 3Dn systems—nScrypt has created a new inspection system that occurs while the print is in progress.\nThis in situ process includes the following features:\n- High resolution laser profile scanning to inspect up to 640,000 data points per second.\n- Sorting for each set of data points collected for each layer during the 3D printing process.\n- Automatic geometric data transmission which informs users of print volume, any missing volume (and its location), and data regarding each layer.\n- Scanning resolution of 10µm in the XY axis and 5µm in the Z axis.\n“The generated data is in perfect alignment with the part by synchronizing nScrypt’s high-precision linear motion gantry system with the laser readings,” reports the company in their recent press release sent to 3DPrint.com. “This in-situ process only adds 3% – 12% to the total print time, depending on the part’s geometry.”\nIndustrial users should find performance and efficiency transformed with inspection reports available for every part fabricated.\n“The inspection system was developed with our machine’s position feedback and real time kernel to accurately align the data. Once the aligned data is received, we can process it to warn the user of any defects that occurred before moving on to the next part of the print,” says nScrypt Software Engineer, Connor Roggero.\nMany businesses should find savings on the bottom line as defects are found before the entire product is manufactured, meaning that wear and tear on machines is reduced and even more importantly—so much material is saved with the elimination of defective prints that go through the entire process only for the user to find problems, and parts that cannot be used. The nScrypt team realizes this will give 3D printing users more confidence in their work.\nThis monitoring system also eliminates the need for other types of evaluation such as X-rays or ultrasonic testing.\n“Inspection reports are commonplace in industries that require meeting strict quality standards, such as aerospace and automotive,” said Paul I. Deffenbaugh, nScrypt R&D Manager. “Traceability is frequently necessary and ensures that root causes of failures can be determined. This in-process inspection system fulfills all of these goals and produces results more detailed than any other system available.”\nThe program is still being refined further to offer actual in situ repairs, taking even more responsibility off the user. As the inspection process evolves further, the repair should be noted, fixed, and then printing would resume.\n3D printing users are a very ambitious lot by nature—discontented with being given limits at any turn regarding materials, software, and hardware—and they are also continually building new layers of improvement into the technological process creating different methods for quality assurance for medical models, in situ inspections, and researching causes of 3D printing flaws.

{"text": "No Products in the Cart\nLearn to fully repair and restore Chevrolet's most popular truck in this long-awaited new restoration guide.\nWhen Chevy released its second-generation C/K pickup trucks, dubbed the \"Action Line,\" it was apparent that many changes over the previous generation had been employed. Not only did the truck have a simpler, more clean-cut look but this was also the beginning of an era where modern creature comforts that we often take for granted started appearing in the good old Chevy workhorse. Power steering, power brakes, more-powerful engines, a smoother-riding coil rear suspension, automatic transmissions, and independent front suspension all led to what was the most drivable of any Chevy trucks to this point. Back then and today, this generation of Chevy truck is almost universally considered the most popular. Aftermarket parts availability and auction prices support that assertion.\nIn How to Restore Your Chevy Truck: 1967-1972, veteran author Kevin Whipps shows you how to inspect, assess, and accurately budget your restoration project. You are then taken through each major portion of truck restoration, including the engine, suspension, chassis, bodywork, paint, brakes, steering, transmission, driveline, electrical system, interior, and more. Each section shows practical, real-world repair and restoration in general and step-by-step formats. After all of these years of hard use and exposure to harsh conditions, most of these trucks are in need of some serious work.\nChevy/GMC trucks are extremely popular as stock restorations, fast street trucks, and off-road trucks. But before you can build a specialty truck, you need to have a solid, reliable, restored truck.

{"text": "MAXIMUM PRESSURE STABILITY FOR YOUR GAS SUPPLY WITH DOME PRESSURE REGULATORS\nIf highest pressure stability even at inlet pressure or withdrawal fluctuations is required, dome-loaded pressure regulators are the best choice. There is a wide field of different applications. WITT dome-loaded pressure regulators are proven in many applications all over the world.\nApplication examples of dome loaded pressure regulators:\nDome-loaded pressure regulators at cryogenic tank vapourisers\n- A back-up supply to a 24/7 gas generator – the back-up will cut in at precisely the right pressure and will be seamless to the downstream process. This means 100 % availability. Can also be used for peak-shaving.\n- Purge gases at high flow rates – at just under the downstream relief valve\n- Laser-assist gases – accurately delivered without always needing a 37 barg (536 psi) MAWP tank-rating\nGas supplies, such as tube-trailers, cylinders bundels and buffer tanks\n- Accurate control and high flow rates, even when the inlet pressure falls to within 1 bar (14.5 psi) above the outlet pressure – meaning more useable gas can be taken, thereby reducing replenishment/logistics costs\n- Accurate outlet pressure control from PSAs and VSAs – smoothing out any pressure variations and improving the downstream process performance and safety\nDome pressure regulators in CO2 systems for welding gases\nThe project is supplying welding gas mixtures to Indian Railways at Raebareli. CO2 (from cylinders) and Argon (from a cryogenic tank) are supplied into WITT Gas Mixers. The customer needs stable flow even in fluctuating demands from the mixers depending on the usage rates. The dome pressure regulator 737LE-HD/S.is designed to deliver stable outlet pressure irrespective of flow fluctuations, and irrespective of changes in upstream pressures. With the WITT doem-loaded pressure regulator, the customer has had trouble-free operation for almost a year, no production loss or downtime, with no stoppage of operation due to CO2 supply failure, and no variation of utlet pressure with flow.\nDome-loaded pressure regulators with electrical proportional valve\nThe 3 lines for oxygen and propane each go via a dome. The pilot control gas is regulated via proportional valves controlled by a PLC. Automatic adjustments of the Pilot Gas pressure regulate the flowrates into the burners, thereby controlling the cutting process. The domes minimise any variations, and allow for optimal cutting, at a fraction of the price of a fully electronic control system.\nDome-loaded pressure regulation sets operated by an electrical proportional valve instead of a pilot pressure regulator are used for processes that require different working pressures. For example with this solution a burner control can be optimised by setting different gas pressures depending on the respective material. By a stored program control (SPC) with amperage or voltage the pressure regulator can be fast and easily controlled. A manual setting of the working pressure is not required. The wide pressure range from 0.5 to 30 bar makes such a system outstanding.\nNitrogen supply switch-over unit\nThe customer demanded a very high performance and reliable pressure control of a nitrogen supply for the packaging of potato snacks. To meet this challenge, WITT installed two supply lines in parallel, each with a dome pressure regulator set 767LE/S.\nThe gas is regulated from 12 bar down to 6 bar. The dome pressure regulators function independently. To allow for maintenance, ball valves enable each Dome to be isolated. This parallel arrangement gives 100 % up-time.\nRedundancy-capable pressure control for Vacuum Annealing\nThe process required a constant 10 bar supply of nitrogen into the annealing furnace, from a 13 bar tank. The customer requested a parallel redundant system, plus a roof cover.\nThe average gas flow per furnace should be around 150 Nm3 / h, and 4 should be mounted, allowing up to 600 Nm3 / h. To allow for major process upsets requiring emergency N2 blanketing, a maximum flow rate of 1 600 Nm3 / h was set. Because the WITT Dome sets are also able to regulate small flows precisely, a single redundancy capability was designed for using the WITT 757 Set.\nDome-loaded pressure regulators in central gas supply systems\nIn many applications dome-loaded pressure regulator sets, e.g. 757 LE/S or 747 LE/S operated by a pilot pressure regulator, are used behind the gasifier of a central gas supply system. High gas flows are regulated to a stable working pressure independent of high withdrawal fluctuations. A re-adjustment of the gas pressure is not necessary due to some design-engineering details of WITT dome-loaded pressures regulators such as the own medium control or the closed dynamic system. As completely mounted pressure regulation set, including the DN50 flange connection, pilot pressure regulator or proportional valve, gauges, etc., the regulators can be used and integrated without any additional effort. The wide temperature range down to -30° Celsius allows an outdoor installation even in the winter.\nAnother dome-loaded pressure regulator application is the supply of gas mixers. WITT dome-loaded pressure regulators ensure stable gas pressure for the mixer. Even when having withdrawal fluctuations the gas mixing ratio stays always stable.\nOxygen inerting of flame lances\nThe customer required an electronic pressure control system, with redundancy, to deliver a minimum flow of 2 200Nm³/h at up to 14 barg, from an inlet pressure of 15 barg. This was achieved with one WITT dome pressure regulator set 767LE / S (with proportional control) per line.\nUpon request, a motorised shut-off valve was included on the inlet, to allow complete shut-off. Additionally, manual shut-offs before and after each regulator were included, to allow the evacuation of each line. The design, build and commissioning of the system was undertaken by WITT partner Gustus & Partner GmbH, in cooperation with the customer.\nIndividual pressure regulation solutions are available in many different versions and layouts. For example safety relief or solenoid valves can be integrated to protect the process. By using solenoid valves, controlled by pressure transmitters, the gas supply can be cut off in the case of a pressure increase.\nDome-loaded pressure regulators in 1.4404 stainless steel (316L)\nFor applications and processes where non-ferrous metal is not suitable or favored, WITT offers a wide range of stainless steal dome-loaded pressure regulators. For our products we use high quality 1.4404 stainless steal (316L). This material offers a high resistance against corrosion.\nDome-loaded pressure regulator as manifold pressure regulator\nThe dome-loaded pressure regulator 737 LE-HD/S in combination with the WITT safety block is a perfect solution solution as manifold pressure regulator. The high inlet pressure of max. 300 bar and the the flow rate of up to 2000 Nm³/h allow the reliable gas supply of all processes. The safety block with indidually configurated safety relief valve and burst disks allows a high relief capacity. By this the downstream process is protected against possible failures.\nCustomized Dome System for oxygen\nThis customised system, fully assembled in a lockable cabinet, controls the supply of oxygen into an industrial waste water treatment plant.\nThe detailed specification to ensure a flow rate of some 1 000 m³ / h, was drawn up by specialist WITT company Gustus & Partner GmbH in conjunction with the customer, pre-commissioning TÜV certification.\nPressure regulators built into compressores and turbines\n- Accurate outlet pressure control – smoothing out any pressure variations\nand improving the downstream process performance\n- Seal-gases control – reducing friction, energy use and maintenance\nDome pressure regulators for pipeline gas consumption metering\n- Accurate pressure control meaning increased metering accuracy\n- High flow with minimal ΔP", "label": "Yes"}

The exergy analysis of vapor compression systems can help to identify the feasibility of alternative fluids in existing installations and the potential to improve them. In this sense, this paper presents an exergy analysis of an experimental setup which operates with R134a and the alternative HFO/HFC mixture R513A. The evaporating temperature is ranges between −15 °C and 5 °C, while the condensing temperature is set at 30 °C and 35 °C. In this analysis, the highest amount of exergy destruction rate is obtained at the compressor, followed by the evaporator. The maximum exergy efficiencies are observed at the condenser and the thermostatic expansion device. Finally, the average global exergy efficiency of R513A when replaced R134a in this refrigeration experimental setup is 0.4% higher (absolute difference), and with respect to the components, there is only slight reduction in efficiency in the condenser using R513A. Therefore, the R513A replacement is acceptable according to the second law of thermodynamics.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "In most cases, you will need access to the attic to install a ceiling fan. This is because typically, the ceiling fan will need to be attached to an electrical junction box located in the attic. If the house does not have an existing electrical box, then you will need to run a new wiring setup from the main power source to the ceiling fan.\nThis wiring can be run through the attic to the final destination, eliminating the need to cut holes in the ceiling from the outside.\nIn some cases, you may be able to install a ceiling fan without access to the attic. If the house is equipped with a functioning electrical junction box in the ceiling and it can be safely accessed from a ladder or through another entry point, you can use it to hold the wiring needed for the installation.\nHowever, this can be tricky and costly as you will need to use a specialized electrical installation tool to make the connections since you cannot use the basic DIY wiring setup.\nIn summary, it is usually best to have access to the attic when installing a ceiling fan so that you can properly attach the wiring to an existing junction box. This can help ensure that the installation is safe and efficient.\nCan you install a ceiling fan without attic access?\nYes, you can install a ceiling fan without attic access. There are various ways that you can do this, depending on the type of ceiling fan, the wiring, and the ceiling joists.\nFor example, if you have an existing light fixture and accessible wiring, you can use “swag method” of ceiling fan installation. With this method, you will be able to hang the fan without cutting a hole in the ceiling or accessing the attic.\nThis method involves mounting a fan-rated junction box onto the ceiling, installing a mounting bracket, running the wiring from the junction box, and finally mounting the fan onto the bracket.\nAnother option is to use a flush mount fan kit. This type of kit can be installed using two or three fan blades and is great for rooms with low ceilings. During installation, you simply need to secure the mount and blades to the ceiling, connect and secure the wiring, and finally secure the fan motor to the mount.\nOverall, it is possible to install a ceiling fan without attic access, however the specific procedure that you should use may vary based on the type of fan that you have and the current wiring setup in your home.\nTherefore, you may want to seek assistance from a professional, if needed, to ensure that the ceiling fan is properly installed.\nHow hard is it to install a ceiling fan where no fixture exists?\nIt can be quite challenging to install a ceiling fan where no fixture exists, depending on the particular situation. The biggest issue can be accessing the electrical box that is necessary to connect the fan to the home’s electrical wiring.\nIf the ceiling is unfinished and the joists can be accessed above, then this isn’t an issue. However if the ceiling is finished or some kind of drop ceiling, then the electrical box needs to be mounted to an exposed joist or an wall framing element.\nThis can be a difficult process, especially for someone without experience in carpentry and electrical work. Additionally, if the wiring in the home is more than 15 years old, it’s possible that it may not be up to code and require updates.\nOnce the electrical box is installed, wiring the fan should be relatively easy. Standard kits are available with wiring diagrams and detailed instructions. However, attaching the fan to the box can be difficult and time consuming, as it requires careful balance and measurement to be sure the fan won’t shake while in operation.\nIf the ceiling is high, it can also be harder to install and maintain.\nOverall, a ceiling fan can be a beautiful feature to a room; however, the amount of work that can go into the installation process can be significant. It’s important to consult a professional to make sure the project is done safely and correctly.\nCan you install a ceiling fan in a room that only has a light fixture?\nYes, you can install a ceiling fan in a room that only has a light fixture. First, you’ll need to make sure the power to the room is turned off. Once the power is off, you’ll need to remove the existing light fixture and disconnect the wiring.\nYou’ll then need to attach the fan brace that came with the ceiling fan to the ceiling joists and run the wiring through the downrod. Once everything is connected, you’ll be able to mount the ceiling fan to the fan brace and connect the wiring.\nFinally, you’ll need to set the fan in the desired position, install the canopy, install the light kit if necessary, and then turn the power back on. By following these steps, you can easily install a ceiling fan in a room that only has a light fixture.\nDoes a ceiling fan need to be installed by an electrician?\nYes, a ceiling fan should be installed by an electrician. Ceiling fans are comprised of several complex mechanical and electrical components that need to be connected properly and safely for safe and efficient operation.\nCeiling fans must also adhere to local electrical code requirements and can put a strain on existing circuits, requiring careful installation and testing by an experienced electrician. Additionally, the electrician will ensure that the box that houses the fan is securely mounted at an appropriate height, as well as properly wire the fan to the existing electrical system.\nWhen incorrectly installed, a ceiling fan can cause potential fire hazards and even become a dangerous flying object. Therefore, it is highly recommended to contact a qualified and licensed electrician to install a ceiling fan properly and safely.\nHow do you tell if you can install a ceiling fan?\nInstalling a ceiling fan is a relatively simple DIY project, but there are some factors to consider before you begin. The most important thing to check is the weight of the fan. The fan needs to be properly mounted to the ceiling and attached to a secure beam, so make sure that the beam can handle the weight of the fan safely.\nIn addition, the ceiling height needs to be tall enough to support the fan and account for the vertical space the fan can create when spinning. If the ceiling is too low, you may risk the fan hitting the ceiling when it is turned on.\nYou also need to make sure that the electrical wiring behind the fan is properly installed and connected. It’s a good idea to hire a professional electrician to check that everything is safe and up to code.\nFinally, if the fan is going to be wired for remote control, make sure that the kit you buy includes all the necessary parts, such as wiring and receivers. Installing a ceiling fan can be a fun and rewarding project, so make sure you’re prepared and have all the necessary materials before you dive in.\nHow much does a handyman charge to install a light fixture?\nThe cost to install one light fixture depends on the type of fixture and the complexity of the electrical wiring. For example, if you are installing a basic light fixture with pre-existing wiring, you can expect a handyman to charge you between $50 to $150 depending on the amount of time it takes, the type of fixture, and the complexity of the installation.\nOn the other hand, if you are looking to install a new circuit, or are installing multiple light fixtures, the cost can be significantly higher – up to several hundred dollars.\nIf you are looking to install a light fixture, it’s important to find a qualified, dependable handyman to do the job correctly. Ask for recommendations from friends and family who were recently happy with a handyman’s work, and take the time to contact each person and ask them about their experience.\nGetting multiple quotes from different handymen is also beneficial, as you’ll want to ensure that you are getting a fair price for the work.\nIs it hard to replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan?\nReplacing a light fixture with a ceiling fan can take anywhere from 2-3 hours depending on the complexity of the job. If you plan to do the job yourself, it is important to make sure you have the right tools and materials.\nYou may need a drill, an adjustable wrench, wire nuts, electrical tape, and a ladder depending on what kind of fixture you have and what type of ceiling fan you have chosen. The most important part of the job is to make sure the electricity is turned off completely before starting, and this should always be done by a certified electrician if you are not comfortable doing the work.\nOnce the power is off, it is important to confirm that all of the wires are the same size and compatible with one another before connecting them. It is important to secure the fan properly to the ceiling before connecting the wires.\nAfter the wiring is complete, make sure the fan is spinning correctly before turning the power back on. If done correctly, replacing a light fixture with a ceiling fan can be a relatively straightforward task.\nIs it difficult to install a ceiling fan without existing wiring?\nYes, it can be difficult to install a ceiling fan without existing wiring. This is because the fan needs to be wired directly to the electrical boxes in the ceiling. If existing wiring is not in place, then one must complete the electrical work needed to provide power to the fan.\nThis usually involves running new wiring from the circuit breaker to the fan, connecting the wiring to the ceiling electrical boxes, and properly connecting the fan motor and light fixture to the correct wires.\nIt is important to note that any wiring that is done should be done in accordance with the local electric codes and by a qualified, licensed electrician. Furthermore, in order to ensure proper fan performance, the fan should also be correctly balanced.\nIs installing a ceiling fan worth it?\nYes, installing a ceiling fan is worth it. Ceiling fans are a great way to provide additional cooling or heating in a room, as they help to circulate air around a room. Not only can ceiling fans have an impact on the temperature of a room, but they also conserve energy, since they use less electricity than an air conditioner.\nCeiling fans can also help reduce energy costs by replacing the need to use an air conditioner. Furthermore, ceiling fans can act as a decorating statement in a room, with many colors and styles to choose from.\nFinally, ceiling fans are relatively easy to install, with multiple installation kits available that allow an average homeowner to install the fan with little to no professional assistance. In conclusion, installing a ceiling fan is definitely worth it for a variety of reasons.\nWhat are the 3 mounting options ceiling fan?\nThe three mounting options for ceiling fans are close-to-ceiling, downrod and flush-mount. Close-to-ceiling mounting is when the fan is attached directly to the ceiling, usually with a hanger bracket.\nThe downrod mounting option is when a downrod hangs from the ceiling to the fan motor housing. This option allows the fan to hang lower, creating better air circulation. The last option, flush-mount, is when the fan is mounted directly to the ceiling without any gap in between.\nThis is usually used in rooms with low ceilings. All three options have different benefits, so it is important to consider what type of installation is right for your space.\nHow do you add lights to a room without wiring?\nOne way to add lights to a room without wiring is to use battery-powered LED lights. These lights come in a variety of styles and colors, and are designed to be easy to install – simply attach an adhesive or magnet mount to the desired area and place the LED light in the mount.\nLED lights can be set to a timer or controlled with a remote, making it simple and easy to turn the lights on or off. Other popular options are solar-powered and plug-in lights, both of which require minimal wiring and installation and provide a quick and easy way to add light to a room.\nHow do you hide ceiling fan wires?\nHiding ceiling fan wires depends on the type of fan and the construction of the ceiling. If it’s a standard fan with a traditional ceiling box, you may need to cut some holes in the drywall to run the wiring.\nIf the fan is a downrod type, you can typically cover the wires with a flexible metal electrical conduit. If the fan is a flush-mounted or low-profile type, the wiring can usually be hidden behind the fan’s canopy.\nGenerally, it’s best to work with an electrician to ensure that the installation is performed safely and up to code. When in doubt, call an experienced electrician for help.\nCan I attach ceiling fan to joist?\nYes, you can attach a ceiling fan to joists. To do this, start by finding a joist that is rated to hold the fan’s weight and locate it so that the fan won’t be in the way when it is in operation. You’ll need to measure the depth and width of the joist and choose mounting brackets that are the right size.\nScrew the mounting brackets into the joist and then attach the fan’s mounting plate to the brackets. After that, you can follow the manufacturer’s instructions to finish the installation. Make sure to check your electrical wiring to ensure that the power supply and voltage are suitable for the fan and be sure to wear safety gear, including eye protection, when working with electrical components.\nHow hard is it to add a ceiling fan?\nIt depends on how comfortable you are with DIY projects, as well as the size/type of fan you want to install. Generally speaking, installing a ceiling fan is moderately difficult and involves some electrical work.\nIf you are comfortable and have some basic tools, you should be able to add a ceiling fan in half a day, or longer if you are taking your time.\nThe first step is to turn off the electricity so that you don’t shock yourself or damage the fan or electrical circuits. Once the power is off, you’ll want to install the fan mounting bracket to the mounting box in the ceiling.\nThen you will need to attach the fan blades and their brackets to the fan motor. After that, you will need to wire up the fan and attach the canopy to the ceiling box. Finally, turn the power back on, and you’re done!.\nFor those without a lot of experience in electrical work, it may be best to hire a professional electrician to install the ceiling fan. In any case, make sure you are aware of any specific building regulations or codes that your area may have before starting the project.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Filtering water can make it look cleaner, taste cleaner and keep it safer for all who drink it or use it. While there are many different ways to clean water and make it safer, one of the most common and effective is filtration using a media-based filter. Whether you work with water filters on a regular basis, or you are considering switching to this style of filter, understanding how this process works and how to maintain these filters is key to success.\nHow Media-Based Filters Work\nThe filtration process works by having water flow through a bed of sand or another granular media at a low speed. When this happens, the media will pick up much of the solid matter, but the water will pass through. This usually occurs multiple times to remove enough of the toxins to make the water suitable for its particular use. While this is an effective way of filtering water, it is slow. However, it is still used in some municipal water treatment plants and it is also the basis for how most media-based filters work today.\nIn the majority of modern filtration systems, carbon is the main material that makes up this filter. The carbon is compressed into a solid block form—rather than presented as a granular sandy form like described above. This is considered a “multimedia” filter. This process is quite a bit faster than the traditional sandy material based filter, and can be paired with other water cleaning options to create a clean water solution that is suitable for nearly every municipal or community need. No matter which type of filter is chosen, water is normally sent through several stages of filters to ensure removal of all unwanted materials. While the first filtration stage removes the highest concentrations of chemicals, later stages will get rid of the smaller and harder to fight materials. Clean, fresh water is a necessity, and a good, clean filter is the key to making this happen.\nMaintaining Media-Based Filters\nWhile a media-based filter will clean the water, leaving it looking, smelling and tasting fresher, over time the toxins build up in the filters and they will need to be replaced. However, regular maintenance and cleaning of the filter will add to the filter life and extend the period of time between replacements. Consider these best practices to maintain basic media-based filters:\n- Clean using an eco-friendly product – neXt, by Blue Earth Labs is an eco-friendly product designed to return the media in the filter to a fresh, clean state. This may add to the length of time between filter changes, saving money. Plus, since the product is added directly to the filter, there is less downtime than other cleaning options.\n- Reverse Flow Cleaning – Another way of cleaning the filter involves reversing the flow of water through the filter. Depending on the particular setup of the filter and water tank, this may or may not be a suitable option. While this is a potential way of cleaning the media, it doesn’t necessarily get all of the toxins like utilizing a product does.\nNow that you know a bit more about the media filters and how to maintain them, you may be better prepared to deal with the process. At the end of the say, these filters are an important tool in water treatment, but they are only as useful as the people who operate them, so take the time to learn as much as you can about them, and don’t hesitate to ask questions—that’s the best way to learn!", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Powell Brothers “Take the High Road’ as Caterpillar Purchases their Inventions\nWritten by Andrew-Rossi on March 1, 2023\nThe new methods of asphalt application developed by Stuart and Michael Frost are “the most significant innovations for the asphalt screed in almost a century” and will be exclusively available through Caterpillar.\nStuart and Michael Frost are the owners of Mountain Construction Company in Powell. In addition to numerous other projects, they were responsible for laying the asphalt on six miles of the South Fork road as part of the Southfork Federal Lands Access Project.\nThe brothers also founded Axenox Construction Solutions, which develops new tools for more effective construction. And now, they’re struck a big deal with one of the world’s leading construction equipment manufacturers.\nCaterpillar has purchased the intellectual rights to two of the Stuart brothers’ inventions. Soon, the entire world could benefit from the asphalt screeds developed and already at work in Park County.\n“Oxclaw” and “Bullox” are revolutionary in the world of asphalt paving, and many contractors already see a limitless future for the new methods.\nAsphalt screeds are the massive machines seen laying down hot asphalt on under-construction roads and parking lots.\nUnlike traditional screeds, Oxclaw has a textured surface instead of a flat one. According to Equipment World, “The breakthrough occurred when (Stuart and Micael Frost) came up with a sine wave concept instead of a flat screed plate. The waves would allow asphalt to travel down through a gradually widening channel to add lateral movement to the asphalt placement instead of just vertical downward pressure.”\nThe plates are also made out of a 26% chromium carbide cast, which is more wear-resistant than steel.\nThe results speak for themselves -the system cut plate-change times by 80% – from one to two days to less than four hours. And the Oxclaw screed plates were achieving densities as high as 85% to 89% before the compactors came out.\nWhen workers walked across the fresh mat directly behind the screed, they left no footprints behind.\nOther benefits observed in the field include:\n- Reduced thermal and linear segregation issues.\n- More uniform surface textures.\n- Less reflective rutting and bumps from underlying defects leading to fewer “must grinds.”\n- More uniform screed plate heat across the surface.\n- Longer screed plate life.\n- Higher densities behind breakdown rollers, with no check cracking.\nIt’s all very technical for most people who used the roads where Oxclaw screed plates were used. But for contractors, it’s not game-changing – it’s a new game altogether.\nCaterpillar personnel observed the Oxclaw and Bullox screed plates in action and committed to purchasing the intellectual rights in November 2022.\nCaterpillar is currently putting Oxclaw and Bullox through its product development process. Once finished, the plates will be developed exclusively for Caterpillar pavers and screeds and sold at Caterpillar dealers. The company calls the plates “an exceptionally well-developed proof of concept.”\nWith the marketing might of Caterpillar, Oxclaw and Bullox could quickly be in use worldwide. And it all started on the ambling roads of Northwest Wyoming.\nFor Stuart and Michael, it’s an exciting development with tremendous opportunities. And they’re still at work at Axenox working on other construction innovations.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "10 Steps To Jump-Start!. It is always recommended that you have some general knowledge about how to some basic mechanic work on your vehicle. You never really know when you’re going to have an emergency and need it! I this article, we’re going to show you step-by-step how to jump-start your car. Read on! First, try to bring the two vehicles together, facing each other, at least 18 inches apart, away from traffic. Ensure your parking brakes are on.. Next, turn them off. If you have a manual vehicle, put the gear in Neutral. If you have an automatic vehicle, put the gear in Park.. Look for the positive (+ or red indicator) terminals and negative (-black indicator) terminals on both batteries. *** DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL PART OF THE JUMPER CABLE CLAMPS ONCE YOU BEGIN THE FOLLOWING STEPS! *** Attach the end of the positive cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery.. Attach the positive cable clamp at the other end, to the positive terminal of the working battery.. Attach the end of the negative clamp cable to the working battery’s negative terminal. *** REMEMBER NOT TO TOUCH THE METAL PORTION OF YOUR REMAINING CABLE CLAMP, EXCEPT TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE DEAD BATTERY, BECAUSE THE CABLES ARE NOW LIVE! *** Attach the remaining cable end to a metal section of the engine, away from any moving parts. When you connect this cable last, away from the battery, you will avoid sparks and other battery hazards.. Clear everyone away from the engine.. Start the good car’s engine and let it run for about 1 or 2 minutes, then slightly press on the gas and rev the engine.. Finally, you can start the engine of the car. It may or may not work on the first try, but remember not to try starting it more than 3 or 4 times.. We hope this was helpful!

This solves the issue of having to specify which way your door will be hung because the centre strike is reversible. With optional length strikers for 44mm or 56mm doors, this keep is fast becoming our most popular centre-keep option!\nThere is lateral adjustment on the striker plate to ensure your latch engages smoothly and there’s a dust-box surround for the deadbolt to neaten the appearance when fitted.\nHow to reverse the latch on a Winkhaus Thunderbolt\nHow to reverse the Winkhaus flush centre-keep\nThere are also some alterations available for use with the Winkhaus flush, reversible centre-keep.

{"text": "If you want to get a tractor, whether used or new, there are several things to think about. Apart from the size of the tractor and price, you have to think about the purpose of use. The size and purpose of the tractor determine the 3-point hitch you will use.\nSo, do you know what a 3-point hitch is? It is the equipment that allows you to attach ploughs and other agricultural tools to a tractor. It doesn’t matter if the tractor is for industrial and farming purposes. The 3-point hitch is attached to the tractor directly.\nNow that you are familiar with the 3-point hitch, let’s talk about the quick hitch.\nOnce you become more used to hitches, you will come to appreciate the quick hitch. A quick hitch is mounted on the 3 point hitch, and it allows you to attach rear tractor equipment quickly. You wouldn’t even need to get off your tractor seat before attaching and releasing equipment.\nThe 3-point hitch comes in 5 different sizes, numbered from 0 to 4. This article will help you differentiate the 5 categories, guide you to buy a suitable 3-point quick hitch, and recommend the best category 1 3-point quick hitches available.\nConsiderations Before Buying A 3-Point Quick Hitch\nHow do I know what category my tractor is?\nThere are majorly 2 ways to determine the category hitch that can work with your tractor:\n- The type of equipment you want to attach to your tractor. Heavy-duty equipment requires a higher category hitch.\n- Your tractor horsepower. For instance, a tractor with a horsepower of 180 HP or higher will use a category 4 hitch.\nHow to differentiate 3-point quick hitch categories?\nWe can divide 3-point quick hitches into 5 categories based on these following basic differences:\n- The dimensions of the 3-point hitch triangle.\n- The size of 3 connecting pins.\n- The weight capacity of 3-point hitch.\n|Top link pin diameter\n|Lift arm pin diameter\n|Lower hitch spacing\n|Approx max weight\n|Up to 20 hp\n|20 to 45 hp\n|40 to 100 hp\n|80 to 225 hp\n|80 to 225 hp\n|More than 180 hp\n|More than 180 hp\n* The N is a subcategory of certain hitches and it stands for narrow. The difference between this N subcategory and their main category is the smaller pin sizes. The N subcategory is common with quick hitches, and they modify small implements to work with larger tractors.\nCategory 0 hitch versions are light-duty, and they work well with 20 HP tractors or less. They are a great fit if you own a lawn or garden tractor. This hitch category only works with 20” wide implements.\nThe distance between the lower pins on this hitch category and the top link pin is usually 12”.\nThe implements you can use with a Category 0 3-point hitch are ploughs, tillers, cultivators, thatcher, back blades, etc.\nYou can find category 1 hitches on compact or subcompact tractors. These tractors usually hover between a horsepower of 20 to 50 HP. The arm lift pole measures 7/8” with the top link pin measuring 3/4” in diameter. The distance between the lift arms of the hitch is 26” with a 15” mast height.\nThere are versions of category 1 hitch called limited category 1 hitches. These limited category 1 hitches are peculiar to the subcompact tractors and have similar dimensions to regular category 1 hitches.\nCategory 2 hitches have more power than the earlier iterations as it is more heavy-duty. Only tractors with 40 to 125 HP can use this hitch. It has 32″ arm spacing, 1″ top link pins, and 1 1/8″ lift arm pins.\nLiquid sprayers, planters, back blades, rakes, and box scrapers work with category 2 hitch.\nCategory 3 hitches have a 1-¼“ top link pin, 1 7/16” lift arm pins, and an arm spacing of 38 inches. These dimensions make it great for heavy-duty equipment used by 80 to 225 HP tractors.\nAlso, the category 3 hitch has similar dimensions to the category 3N hitch. However, there is a lift spacing difference as 3N has a 32” lift spacing.\nYou can mount category 4 hitches on a 180 HP or higher tractor. The hitch has lift arms with a 46” spacing, 2” lift arm pins, and 1 ¾ top link pins.\nThere is a similar 4N which shares pin diameters with category 4 but with a nearer 38” lift spacing.\nWho Should Buy A Category 1 3-Point Quick Hitch?\nYou should buy a category 1 3-point hitch if you want to do medium-duty tractor farm work.\nAs such, you can attach up to 200 lbs category 1 blade and also your medium-duty tiller with your quick hitch.\nTop 5 Best 3-Point Quick Hitches Category 1 Ever!\n1.

Titan Attachments Trailer Hitch 2” Receiver Quick Hitch: Best for Heavy-duty\nUnlike the triangular-shaped quick hitches we have mentioned so far on this list, Titan Attachments quick hitch is vaguely triangular. However, the hitch still boasts power with its high-quality alloy steel irrespective of the different shapes.\nIn addition to strength and durability, Titan Attachments Trailer Hitch will also last longer than most quick hitches with its powder finish. This means you can keep outside for extended periods without thinking of rust.\nPlus, the quick hitch has a 2” receiver which makes it versatile enough to accept Class 3 style hitch. The versatility also comes with ease as the gooseneck ball makes towing an implement easier. Also, this hitch fits all category 1 tractors.\n- Longevity is assured\n- Versatile gooseneck ball\n- Doesn’t have a stabilization bar\n- Doesn’t come with link pins\nThe quick hitch is durable as it is made from a high-quality metal alloy with a powder-coated finish. Plus, this quick hitch fits all category 1 tractors.\nWill Cat 1 Implements Fit Cat 2 Tractor?\nYes. Many category 1 equipment could be used for a category 2 tractor. You only need to do the following:\n- Modify equipment by changing pins or utilizing bushings to achieve a suitable diameter. Bushings will allow your implements to be fixed quickly to the hitch pin for your ease of use.\n- Replace your cat 1 hitch pins with cat 2 pins.\nSince there would be a difference in top link hole diameter, you can easily rectify this. Drill the top link hole to fix cat 2 top link pin.\nHowever, it would be better to use Cat 2 implements for Cat 2 tractors. The reason for this is that Cat 2 tractors have more HP. The higher HP means they can drag your implements on rougher terrain when it would be ideal not to do so. Driving across rougher terrains could get your Cat 1 implements destroyed.\nHow Does A 3-Point Quick Hitch Work?\nA hitch has two lift arms coupled with a top link. So, this top link ensures stability when the hands are raised and lowered.\nNow, the 3-point hitch works by using a tractor’s hydraulic system to control the hitch’s lift arms.\nIn addition, top links have holes that are linked with pins on the implement. This makes it easy to attach and remove implements quickly.\nHow do you hook up a 3-point hitch to a tractor?\n- Firstly, line the tractor’s rear to the mouthing point of the implement. Then place the tractor in the park.\n- Bring the tractor’s hydraulic lift arms low to be on level height with the lower points of attachment on the implement.\n- Slot the lower attachment point pin on the implement you want to join through the float ball on the tractor’s lift arms. Secure the implement with the lock hitch pin\n- Use the hitch rod to attach a side of the adjustable drawbar to the implement top attachment point.\n- Use the hitch rod to attach the other side of the adjustable drawbar to the tractor top hitch point. Next, secure the drawbar with the hitch pin for locking.\n- Raise the implement from the ground using a tractor hydraulic lift.\nHow do I make my 3-point hitch lift higher?\nYour tractor has multiple top link attachment points that you can put through the top link of the tractor side. When you do this, it changes the ability of the 3-point hitch to lift higher.\nChoosing a hitch can be a hassle if you don’t have the proper information you need to make a choice. However, we believe with this post, you know the hitch category and the best kind of quick hitches to buy.\nIf you want to buy a hitch, we recommend that you get the ECOTRIC 3 Point 2″ Receiver Trailer Hitch Category 1. This hitch is durable, can perform some heavy-duty function, and last long.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "For the most part heart valve replacement is a new science because before heart valves could be replaced open heart surgery had to be a reality. But there was some research into heart valve function as early at the 17th century. In 1668 John Mayow observed the constriction of the mitral valve (Silverman par 1). Then in 1706 William Cowper did research into aortic valve regurgitation (par 1). And Jean Baptiste-Bouillaud in 1836 established that acute articular rheumatism was associated with inflammation leading to valvular deformities ( par 2).\nIn the last 50 years research really picked up because the heart lung machine was created and open heart surgeries could now be performed. To replace a valve, the surgeons perform an open heart surgery and need a machine to oxygenate and supply blood to the body while they work. On June 30, 1955 the first successful surgery involving the heart-lung machine was performed by Dr. Harold A. Lyons (Dennis 722). The device was patented in 1974,US Patent.\nIn 1960 the first aortic valve replacement was performed with a mechanical valve. Then in 1961 a mechanical valve was used to do the first mitral valve replacement (Zilla 725). Ball valves such as the Starr-Edwards, were the first artificial valves implanted in humans. Mechanical valves have evolved from balls, to a single leaflet by Beal, tilting disk valves by Bjork Shiley, bi-leaflet valves by Carbomedics, and even tri-leaflets; see figure 1 (Jaron). But all the mechanical valves still have the issue of causing clotting, damaging blood cells and disrupting the natural flow of blood.\nThe homograft, a tissue valve taken from one human and placed in another patient, became popular in the 1960’s. In 1967, the Ross procedure for autografts was introduced. This procedure took a patients pulmonary valve and used it to replace the same patients aortic valve. Then their pulmonary valve is replaced by a valve created from their tissue (Rahimtoola par. 5).\nXenografts, the use of tissue from another species, is also possible. Robert Frater in 1961 started using autogenous pericardium to create valves or parts of valves free-hand (Zilla 725). For xenografts to be successful it was important that they found a way to remove the antigens from the tissue so there would be no rejection. This was done by denaturing the proteins with mercurial solutions, freeze-drying or formalin treatment. Shortly the first xenograft aortic valve was ready and successfully implanted in 1965 (725). The next step was taken by two laboratories separately: Robert Carpentier in Paris and Hancock and Nimni in Los Angeles. Both experimented with glutaraldehyde as a preservative for the xenografts and the first aortic porcine valve prepared in this manor was implanted in 1969 (725).\nThe success of the pericardial xenograft lead to an increase in usage. Even just at the Denton Cooley’s Texas Heart Institute there were 10,000 clinical implants of Ionescu-Shiley vavles within two years (726). But there was a design error that caused a failure in the valve. During the 1980’s Carpentier and Edwards looked at the problem and made improvements. But the bovine valve has had a hard time regaining credit and approval even today.\nIn 1976 Hancock Porcine Valve began being used. It is a pig valve that is preserved with glutaraldehyde sewn into a plastic ring. It is then reinforced with a metal ring and covered with Dacron (Jaron). This valve is no longer in use because the company went bankrupt. Then in 1980 the Carpentier-Edwards stented pericardial and porcine valves were created. The valve tissue is sewn onto a metal mesh stent and formed into the tri-leaflet valve shape. Then the tissue is covered with Dacron to ensure correct suturing to heart. Stentless valves are an improvement on these valves and are sometimes preferred since they present less of a blockage to the blood flow, but are harder to implant correctly. These valves were very successful and are the most popular biological valves in use today.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Technology for Renewable energy and freshwater\nBased on Seawater and sea-waves\n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – –\nPropriety rights notice\nCopyright © 2015, Ashraf Moussa Mohamed Moussa\nAs I am the sole proprietor of the rights to this invention “Vortex”, I put it entirely in the public domain. You don’t need to contact me for getting any sort of license; to reengineer it; or design it; or produce it; or develop it further. You can claim and hold your own Propriety Rights only specifically and limitedly to the “technical specification of your end user product”.\nI claim the divine right of every human being on earth to access free right to clean fresh water and energy\nID (National identity number): 2 61 09 17 01 05613\nA) Function and aim\nThis device is renewable energy harvester like the windmills or the sun light cells. It purports specifically to convert the salted Seawater wave motion into contained vortex motion then you can extrude directly from the device either, clean drinkable water, electricity or/and flammable liquid fuel. You can achieve that at almost the cost of the seawater salt extraction and without any extra chemical additions more than the natural atmospheric air and the natural seawater, which both together contain the needed necessary components, with rare or nearly zero maintenance along the life span except accidents. The Device construction itself is very cheap and very simple to construct, you construct it once and forget for many decades or centuries as it depends on the quality of the used materials. The poor countries can produce it in their own because it is so simple and cheap, without needing serious technical assistance or loans, all they need is sea or ocean shores. Majority of the earth surface is covered by abundant seawater and the sea waves never stop day and night, all days of the year except in frozen waters.\nThe Vortex device is functional on seashore as stationary plant and could be mounted on ships as mobile. There could be watercraft designed and specifically purported to collect fuel liquids and fresh water from the seas and oceans and sell the yield internationally at seaports like the fishing boats. There could be offshore stationary plants that sell their yield internationally or for specific people on some shore.\nEnergy and fresh water are basic essential necessities for any civilization to flourish and recently through the 20th and 21st centuries these two elements became a tremendous focus of worry and source of unnecessary wars that dramatically jeopardize the peace and prosperity among humans on ultimately dangerous global challenge. Let alone the disgusting destructive imperialistic behaviors from some technically-developed nations while the under-developed countries too are hostile in this concern, it is a matter of life and death for some countries. Sick selfishness and primitive survival prevails the human being everywhere.\nB) Concept and operation\nNote: Numbers between brackets indicate parts and points on the illustrative drawing.\nB-1) The wave motion on the surface of the sea or ocean pushes the salted Seawater upwards and downwards through the device. It is the source of the energy. The Seawater enters at entrance (12).\nB-2) Toroid Magnets (8) & (11) at the seawater inlet will ionize the salted seawater and separate positive and negative ions while directing them towards the proper half unit. The complete unit (13) is composed of two very identical devices with one difference; each is initialized with the opposite polarity for the ferromagnetic core of the inlet/outlet magnets. One device has been set to treat with the positive ion solution only and negative ion air only, and the other device (other half) treats with the opposite charged ions of the seawater solution and air.\nB-3) The Ionized seawater solution when pumped up and down by the force of the sea-wave motion through the core of the magnet, it will twirl into vortex motion because of the interaction of the electric charges with the vertical-axial magnetic-force field.\nB-4) Exactly by the same theme through 2-a), 2-b) and 2-c), the atmospheric air will be sucked in by the seawater wave works as natural pump and will be ionized and twirl into air vortex inward/outward the device from the upper side. Yet as the vertical series of magnets throughout the device (3), (4), (8), (11) are managed in serial continuity of the magnetic field; the positive pole face of one magnet is set to the negative pole of the next. You start at the bottom on the seawater side with negative polarity face attracting the solution positive ions hence you end up on the air side with positive polarity attracting inwards the negative ions of the air. And the Air vortex will run in counter direction to the seawater vortex angular direction in clash inside for it is oppositely charged; that is more good catalyst mechanism to strengthen the chemical reaction probabilities.\nB-5) The main chamber and main coil (5) is in the middle, where both the vortex of ionized solution and ionized air to induce electric current in the main middle coil (5). That electric current in return will increase and maximize the vortex formation and activity and add more magnetic strength to the primary ferromagnetic magnets at the upper and lower sides, so to boost their force. And it is the source of the useful generated electric power if the device is configured to drain electric current as useful energy. It is where the operation of conversion of Sea wave to electrically charged vortex then inducing useful electric current, takes place.\nB-6) The mechanical centrifugal forces involved within the solution vortex is the force factor that separates the solution components according to their density differences. Then due to the inside pressures within the vortex fluid body all time and when the wave is in the downward direction. The variant densities of the fluid will pass through coaxial cylinders walls (6) according to their diameters. Each specific range of density is correspondent to a specific cylinder diameter. It is from where (7) you can drain fresh water and other synthesized chemical compounds separately like the useful flammable fuel liquid compounds that had been composed during the reaction.\nB-7) Analyzing the air and seawater constituents by the ionization and separating them into two sections of identical devices, is what raises the probability of chemical interaction to compose a wide range of fuel compounds based on the Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Sodium, and other minerals, gases and solutions. The positive solution ions with the negative air ions in one section on one hand, and, the negative solution ions with the positive air ions in the other section on the other hand. If the device is configured for draining “flammable fuel liquid” and not electricity, then the end terminals should be connected to the first spindle (2) and the last spindle; as shown in the illustrative drawing. That connection will pass electric current through the ionized air and ionized solution to greatly and dramatically increase the probability of the chemical reaction to compose a wide range of possible useful liquids like fuels. The electric current will push the ions of the air into the opposite charged ions of the seawater to react and compose new useful compounds. Then the vortex mechanical centrifugal forces will filter and separate the compounds according to their variant densities (6) & (7).\nB-8) It is very recommended to have an initial stage of ferromagnetic core with coil (11) with a chamber (9) with outlets (10) to the outside to reject out the rigid substances coming in with the seawater. The centrifugal force of the initial vortex in the filter chamber will do the job. It is just a “filter stage” to reject out the unwanted rigid substances from the sea; that is all.\nB-9) Many possible chemical compound liquids will be composed in this operation because of the interaction between the air-ions and seawater-ions and very dominantly because of the catalyst electric current passed through the spindles. The most important of them are synthetic flammable fuel liquids like, Methanol, Hydrazine, hydrogen peroxide, ammonium, Formic acid, Hydroxylamine and many other possible compound traces might be formed, it is not complicated chemical reaction yet it has wide possibilities. You may find many of these compounds existent in the Seawater naturally with low concentrations due to natural actions. The flammable fuel compounds that will be formed are elementary simple molecule structures known to be excellent combustion fuels and fantastically friendly to the environment in concern of pollution. Whatever elements had been taken from the nature to compose these fuels will return again without alteration, only they are temporary stores for the energy from the seawater mechanical wave.\nC) Modes of operation\nC-0) The device has three modes of operation and forth one which will tend to reduce the performance quality of the device so I ignored it here. Yet the forth mode is possible subject for future development and research. It is very sufficient for now to handle the basic three modes. The three modes can be managed through how is the connection of the “two end wire terminals” coming out from the coils. That could be managed by a simple switch without change to the design or the fixed rigid structure of the device.\nC-1) Fresh water mode:- The “two” end wire terminals coming out of whole magnets will be short circuited. In this case a great electric current will pass through all the coils to maximum that in return will increase the angular vortex velocity. Little electricity will pass through the solution-air only from the less probable chemical interaction, and no useful electric energy could be drained from the device. This way the main produce will be fresh water with very high quality and little of other compounds like fuels. In this mode of operation, the main objective is fresh water with little of other useful compounds.\nC-2) Electricity mode:- you will drain electricity from the end wire terminals as useful electric energy. No electricity will pass through the air-solution except from what happens while the chemical interaction between the opposite ions of the air and solution like the “fresh water mode”. Less fresh water quality and other compounds you will get, while the main objective in this mode is to produce useful electric energy.\nC-3) Fuel-liquid mode:- The two end terminals of the coils will be connected to the first and last spindles to pass electricity through the air-solution ions in the main chamber (5) to enforce the chemical reaction. The main produce and objective of this mode is the composed chemical compounds which mainly will be the flammable liquid fuel and less fresh water, no useful electric energy will be drained out in this mood.\nC-4) Everything mode:- In this mode, you will need extra circuitry devices to mange the distribution of the induced electric current from the main middle coil, between something to pass through the spindles to enforce the chemical reaction and something you can drain as useful electric energy. For now, I don’t much recommend this mode because it will reduce the performance of the device and unnecessarily complicate the design, while one of the most important success keys of this device is the extreme simplicity, extreme cheapness and the very long life service.\nNo body told you that the flammable alcohol is a very toxic substance, while you are drinking a goblet of wine as beverage? Truly I wonder! It seems they didn’t tell a lot of things and tell you a lot of other things, it is no wonder.\nWhat I want to tell is. All the compounds that will form during the vortex operation are of the simplest molecular structures because the operation takes place in very short duration of seconds and through only one direct shot then drawn out, done. With full certainty it is not like the petroleum complicated molecular structure compounds that had formed underground under very high pressure and high temperature through long history. The compounds that will form here from the Vortex burns clean to its original elements and if some leaked to the ambience in very short duration of days it will decompose easily to its former status without pollution or alteration of the percentages in the environment in whole except using the energy sent to us upon the mechanical wave that the majority of it came from the sun energy. Oh no, thank you, don’t mention the nuclear monster energy for peace, Fukushima and Chernobyl are still heavily proving how peaceful it is. By the way, stop burying the nuclear waste from the very peaceful nuclear reactors in the lands of the poor third world, it is inhuman criminal behavior.\nIn worst ever conditions or circumstances, yes it is pollutant device not of any more than the wine glass you drink everyday. And trust me on this, it is much less pollutant than majority of the antibiotics you take to cure some disease, a disease which in our case this days could be nuclear global war or peaceful nuclear plant accident.\nIn typical normal conditions, the section number (6) in the illustrative drawing is the coaxial cylinders that in interaction of the rotation of the vortex, will separate the different types of solutions and if designed well and optimized according to the expected angular speeds of the vortex, from minimum to maximum, the leak of the formed synthetic solutions can be dramatically reduced to degree safely much under the clean degrees. Section number (6) is very vital and basic essential part of the device to work and serves within the centrifugal filter action on first place; which is a common technique to clean and purify the air and waters in pollutant industries while here it is a basic part. So no fear of pollution; because of the basic concept of the design itself doesn’t permit the leak and pollution to happen as is very essential normal action of the device, no more necessary cautions needed to be done at all, very safe.\nE) Praise is only for God, not for me, not for you, not for whosoever named human. Say goodbye to the “Petroleum-Nuclear Age” and its unjust wars and say welcome to the “Vortex Age” and its peace and prosperity for all mankind equally.\nJustice for all;\nAshraf Moussa Mohamed Moussa.\nApril 25, 2015\nDownload the html & pdf version:-", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Product quality and cost efficiency are of pivotal importance\nCamera and laser automation of a labour-intensive task (real-time quality control)\nSeamlessly integrated into the existing production process\nSorting of in/out-of-specification slate\nOMS assisted in the process of efficiently manufacturing slate in the UK\nAllowing our customer to remain competitive in a global market which is good for the UK economy and better from an ecological standpoint.\nMore than 2 million houses in the UK have a slate roof. A large number of these buildings were roofed before 1919 and need replacing every 30 years. Slate is a multi-million business and product quality is key alongside efficiency. Any company producing items every few seconds which have to be in specification is likely to need robotics. A robot will do what it is told such as remove defective items. As a result most automated systems will require a degree of intelligence based upon sensors to approve or reject products. In this case the item to be inspected was Slate used in roofing. The slate, being a natural material, can be of differing thickness, width, length. It may also be chipped and have missing edges or other damages. Any human can easily identify such a defect but cannot realistically be expected to do this every second and interface to a robot intent on getting the products out of the factory door.\nThis is where a complex machine vision and non-contact sensing system comes in. Shadow imagery and laser distance measurement provide the sensing necessary to be able to do real-time quality control.\nLasers are part of the solution. A typical short range laser distance measuring sensor can measure a distance very accurately several thousand times per second. Cameras are similarly capable of obtaining a snapshot of an object far faster than a human can blink. The combination of these two sensors with some appropriate lighting form the basis for a system that can check a slate in less than a second and communicate a reject to the robotic handling system.\nFor this application the thickness of the slate had to be measured in several places. This was achieved by temporarily resting the slate on three supports and mounting the lasers above the support. Three supports will always ensure that the slate was held by each point so with a calibration the lasers were able to determine whether the slate was within acceptable thickness bounds and the average thickness. As a natural product that is cleaved apart quite a bit of variation is possible. Too thick and the slate will not easily mate with another slate leaving gaps between on a roof. Too thin and the slate may fail early or could also not marry up as well as required.\nThe camera used was capable of checking several aspects of the shape of the slate. The width of the slate and its length had to be within certain boundaries and two types of slate had to be sorted on the fly depending on the length. In addition any missing areas of slate in any location had to be identified, measured and rejected if out-of-specification. The following images illustrate both situations.\nOut of specification\nThe system had to be linked to the production process (see below) such that in the fraction of time that the slate was in position an image was taken of the slate silhouetted against the bright background the image could be collected. The image processing then had to quickly remove any extraneous and unimportant features and compute the dimensions of the slate and detect any areas where the slate was damaged. Pass/fail information had to then be linked to the other dimensional measurement data in order to enable the control of the sorting process.\nThe outcome of the project was a system that assisted in the process of efficiently manufacturing slate in the UK to enable a locally produced natural product to remain competitive in a global market which is good for the UK economy and better from an ecological standpoint.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Porsche’s latest sportscar, the 918 Spyder, has broken cover officially, but unlike most of the company’s hard-driving twin seaters, this one relies in part on battery power for its blistering 0-60mph time. The 918 Spyder is actually a hybrid, pairing a 4.6-liter V8 mid-mounted gas engine good for 608HP with a 154HP hybrid module on the rear axle, and a 127HP electric motor on the front axel. That’s a total of 887HP with all three working together, good for more than 211mph and a 0-62mph dash of 2.8s.\nPorsche offers a variety of driving modes, which can be toggled between using a switch on the steering wheel. They range from purely electric, which has a range of approximately 18 miles and a 7s 0-62mph time (plus a top speed of 93mph), through to hybrid mode, and then with the V8 kicking in. The hybrid motor running the rear axel can be used on its own, or just the V8, or both together for all-wheel drive.\nKeeping the electric motors running is a 7kWh liquid-cooled li-ion battery made up of 312 cells and charging in under 7hrs from a 110V (10A) socket or trimming that to under 2hrs from a 240V (30A) socket. Install Porsche’s industrial-strength Speed Charging Station, and your 918 Spyder will be rejuiced in 25 minutes.\nPorsche is particularly keen to stress how usable every day the 918 Spyder can be, and so in regular Hybrid mode it switches between gas and electric motors to maximize fuel economy. Sport Hybrid sees the eco-halo drop somewhat, with both engine and electrics working continuously, but still with an eye on economic driving. Then there’s Race Hybrid, which relies primarily on the gas engine and kicks the electric motors in for short boosts, with the Porsche topping up the batteries from spare power from the V8 when it’s not being used to full capacity.\nFinally, there’s Hot Lap mode, which works only in Race Hybrid mode and gushes all the available battery power out to drive the electric motors to their limits. It’s only good for a couple of laps, however.\nInside, there’s one cluster of controls for the core driving data, which are wrapped around the wheel, while the multitouch-touchscreen infotainment stack is in the middle and used to manage the climate control, comms, Burmester sound system, and lighting. Alcantara clads the seats, and other areas of the interior, and there’s less sound insulation and more exposed carbon-fiber. One option is having more of the exterior left unpainted, exposing the carbon sections.\nPerhaps the biggest question remaining is how economical it actually is; unfortunately, final fuel consumption figures aren’t available yet. What we do know is that speed and efficiency don’t come cheap: the standard car will be around $845,000 in the US when deliveries begin in Q1 2014. Then, of course, it’ll have to face off challengers like Honda’s 2015 NSX.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Sandra A. Olesen Lawn Mowers June 12th, 2018 - 16:59:05\nYou will have a lawn that looks beautiful all the time Because your robot lawn mower is only cutting tiny amounts off the top of each blade of grass every time it passes over there is never a need to rake the lawn after mowing. This is a bonus because the lawn is constantly getting fertilized from the clippings. There are many different models of robot lawn mowers available each with different features and capabilities. As this will be a long term investment it will pay you to do as much research as you can in order to get the mower best suited to the size and shape of your lawn. Once you have installed your new robot lawn mower you can sit back relax and enjoy all those extra hours of leisure time you have just rewarded yourself with.\nThe combustion within the engine then powers the cutting blades of the mower which can either be rotary or cylindrical. The rotary blade acts like the big hand on a horizontal clock. They rotate clockwise cutting the grass as they turn. In most case there are 4 blades and they are shaped to produce an updraft of air as they spin like an aircraft propeller. This causes a differential in pressure under the mower which pulls at the grass before cutting it. The rotating blade mower works much like youll see on a combined harvester. One blade will capture and lift the grass and then the next blade in the cylinder will cut it.\nLawnBotts are quieter (mowing at night is not a problem) flashier and have more high-end options. They mow faster than RoboMowers and can handle a steeper grade. They are designed to mow more often and so take off the tips of the grass effectively mulching your lawn. Most owners really love their robotic mowers often giving them names decorating them or their docking stations and chatting about them in forums. They rave about how even if they were spending more money than they would with their gas or even a reel mower the convenience alone is worth the price tag.\nThe Introduction of Gas Powered Lawnmowers Despite the widespread success of McGuires reel mower consumers still viewed mowing the lawn as an inconvenient time consuming task. Because of this they desired a non-man powered mower. The solution came in 1902 when English engineering company Ransomes Sims & Jeffries introduced the first internal combustion gasoline powered engine. Finally in 1919 Colonel Edwin George made it possible for gas powered mowers to be manufactured in the United States. However due to the financial depression and the Second World War gas powered mowers didnt receive mainstream success until much later.", "label": "Yes"}

Filed July 20, 1959, Ser. No. 828,175 8 Claims. (CI. 32-27) The invention relates to ultra high speed dental drills and, more particularly, to a high speed dental drill which aspirates from the area being drilled.\nThe latter years have witnessed rapid advances in the art of high speed dental drills. Dental air turbines, despite certain disadvantages, including the need for a pressurized air source and connections, the expulsion of oil in the oral cavity, and a generally undesirable hygienic environment, are in wide use.\nLikewise coming into ever greater favor is the high volume dental aspirator, a vacuum device which aspirates or draws air in large volume away from the oral area in which the dentist is working. Here again, there are disadvantages such as the need to locate the aspirating instrument, or suction tube, fairly near to the area being worked yet out of the line of the dentists vision. Quite frequently, a large portion of a dental nurses or dental assistants time is consumed in manipulating and holding the aspirator in just the right position.\nIt is therefore an object of the invention to provide a high speed dental drill which in itself serves as an aspirator.\nIt is another object of the invention to provide a dental drill in which aspiration occurs precisely at the location desired at all times.\nIt is yet another object of the invention to provide a dental drill which eliminates the need for a separate additional tool, or device, such as the aspirator heretofore used to be inserted into an already cluttered mouth, and which frees the time of a dental assistant for other more important tasks than holding and adjusting the position of an aspirator.\nIt is still another object of the invention to provide a dental drill in which a stream of fluid, such as water, or air, or moisture spray, is directed into the area being drilled, regardless of the position of the drill, and in which the water, air, or spray is thereupon immediately withdrawn by aspiration from the area, along with entrained detritus, and replaced by the clean water, air, or spray stream continuously issuing from the jet.\nIt is a further object of the invention to provide a dental drill which rotates at an extremely high speed.\nIt is yet a further object of the invention to provide a high speed dental drill which operates in a substantially noiseless and vibration-free manner, the levels being so low as to be not discernible for all practical purposes.\nIt is still a further object of the invention to provide a dental drill which can be powered, or actuated, by virtue of the vacuum created by the aspirator machinery already owned by many dentists.\nIt is yet a further object of the invention to provide a vacuum powered dental drill which exerts a substantial torque on the dental cutting and excavating instrument.\nIt is still another object of the invention to provide a dental drill whose speed can be nicely controlled by movement of a valve located immediately adjacent the drilling head and which is therefore highly convenient and which, when opened to reduce speed, increases aspiration.\nIt is yet another object of the invention to provide a very high speed drill which does not require a source of compressed air and costly attachments and connections related thereto.\nIt is a further object of the invention to provide a dental drill comparable in configuration to the standard contraangle but which enables a dentist quickly to adjust and regulate the orientation and angularity of the offset knee portion, thus enabling the dentist to approach the working area from the most convenient direction.\nIt is still another object of the invention to provide a combined high speed drill and aspirating head which has but few moving parts, is light and highly maneuverable, and which can readily be put to use in any dental oflice having an aspirator or other vacuum source.\nIt is a further object of the invention to provide a dental drill which is powered by a vacuum and which concurrently utilizes the vacuum as an aspirating device.\nIt is another object of the invention to provide a generally improved high speed dental drill.\nOther objects, together with the foregoing, are attained in the embodiments described in the following description and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:\nFIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of one form of the drill, a portion of the connecting hose to the aspiratiug equipment being shown in section;\nFIGURE 2 is a top plan view of the form of device shown in FIGURE 1;\nFIGURE 3 is a section of the drilling head, to an enlarged scale, the plane of section being indicated by the line 33 in FIGURE 2;\nFIGURE 4 is a side elevational view of a preferred form of drill, a portion of the knee, or angle piece, and a portion of the sheath being shown in section to reveal the face-to-face engagement therebetween, the collar valve being shown in partly open position;\nFIGURE 5 is a bottom view of the form of device shown in FIGURE 4, but with the collar valve in fully open position, and with the bur and chuck removed for clarity. of disclosure;\nFIGURE 6 is a section, to an enlarged scale, the plane of section being indicated by the line 6-6 in FIGURE 5; and\nFIGURE 7 is a partly idealized representation of a section of a tooth being worked on, showing how the water jet and the aspirated air cooperate in the drilling operation.\nWhile the dental drill of the invention is susceptible of numerous physical embodiments, depending upon the environment and requirements of use, substantial numbers of the herein shown and described embodiments have been made, used and exhaustively tested, and all have performed in an eminently satisfactory manner.\nReferring at this time to the form of device shown in FIGURES l3, it can be seen that a dental drill of the invention, generally designated by the numeral 11, includes an elongated hollow sheath 12, or handle, adapted at one end to be connected to a vacuum or collapse-resistant type of hose 13 leading to a conventional high volume dental aspirating machine (not shown) or other source of vacuum.\nMounted on the other end of the sheath :12 is a hollow angle piece 16, or knee, or knee extension, or knee-to-head section, the longitudinal axis of the knee being, for example, at an angle of about twelve degrees with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sheath.\nMounted in turn on the end of the knee 16 is a generally cylindrical drilling head 17. In the usual dental angle, the drilling head is at right angles to the knee portion. In the form of device shown, however, the axis 18 of the drilling head is five degrees off the perpendicular line 19 to the axis of the knee 16, so that a bur 21, for example, whose rotational axis is coincident with the head axis 18, is inclined forwardly away from the perpendicular line 19. It has been found that greater flexibility of use can be obtained where the angularity of the bur with respect to the sheath is obtained in these two steps rather than in the one large step of seventeen or so degrees which has heretofore been widely used.\nFurthermore, the two step construction helps to some extent in providing a free passageway for the Vacuuminduced movement of air from a location adjacent the bur21, thence into the drilling head 17 and back through the sheath 12 and hose 13 t the aspirating machinery.\nWith particular reference to FIGURE 3, it can be seen that .the drilling head 17 comprises a generally cylindrical body 22, or housing, suitably attached, as by welding 23, to the knee 16. A downwardly facing annular shoulder 26 on the housing receives in face-to-face engagement an annular flange 27 extending laterally from a drum '28.\nThe drum 2% is fastened to the housing by screwing downwardly a cap 30 having interior threads 31 whose peaks, or teeth, are bobbed, as at 32. The cap threads 31 engage with exterior threads 33 formed on the upper portion of the drum 28. The exterior thread teeth are also bobbed, as at34.\nThe efiect of the mutual bobbing of the thread teeth is to define a helical passageway 36 beginning at a lower V-shaped helical recess 37 in the drum and extending helically upwardly to a chamber 38 defined by the cap 30 and the upper end of the drum. Discharging into a port 39 formed in the drill head body is an oil mist carried by a tubing 41 extending through the sheath 12, and the hose 13 and ultimately terminating at a conventional small-capacity lubricator (not shown). Such lubricators are of well-known design and their operation is to insert a metered quantity of lubricating oil into an air line under a predetermined air pressure. The quantity of oil is so small as to involve only a thin film or mist type of lubrication.\nAs an alternative, not shown, a conventional oil reservoir, from which oil is drawn through a tube to the head by reason of the vacuum within the head, can be used.\n. The oil and air mixture moves in the paths generally indicated by the arrows 43, the flow being helically upwardly to the chamber 38, thence downwardly through an upper anti-friction bearing 46 held by a snap retainer 47, and through a lower anti-friction bearing 48, the oil mist serving to lubricate the bearings.\nRotatably mounted in the inner races of the bearings is a member termed a chuck and generally designated by the numeral 51. The chuck 51 not only includes a hollow spindle 52, or sleeve, but also a hub 53' coaxially mounted on the lower end of the spindle and provided with a plurality of blades 54.\nThe envelope of the blades substantially spans or extends over the entire circular opening 56 at the bottom end of the housing 22. Consequently, when a vacuum is impressed on the hollow interior 57 of the knee 16 and thus on the substantially hollow interior 58 of the drilling head, air fiow occurs in the general pattern indicated by the arrows 59, the movement of the air, in impinging on the blades, effecting a very high rotational velocity of the chuck 51 of the order of 350,000 r.p.m.\nFrictionally disposed within the sleeve 52, or spindle, is illustrated a form of bur holder 51 adapted frictionally to receive and hold the shank of any of the conventional bur. instruments. The particular kind of holder shown forms no part of the instant invention and a number of other forms are equally suitable, reference being had, for example, to certain of my copending applications relating to bur holders.\nA slinger ring 62 is preferably mounted on the outside of the spindle immediately below the lower bearing 48. While the flow of the oil mist 43 as it leaves the lower bearing is ordinarily adequate to prevent the entry into the bearings of debris entrained in the air stream 59, the slinger 62 completes the effectiveness, and by a. localized fan or pumping action causes the air stream 59 and entrapped detrital particles to veer away from the bearing race.\nIt is deemed advisable, for protective purposes, to add a screen 66, or grill, to cover the circular opening 56 below the blades, an opening 67 in the center of the screen permitting a downward extension 68 of the bur chuck. Conveniently, an interiorly threaded base cap 69 engagea'ble with corresponding threads adjacent the bottom of the housing is used to clamp the grill in place.\nIt can therefore be seen that not only is the chuck caused to rotate by air movement induced by the interior vacuum, but the air flow in itself serves to aspirate or draw air away from the area below and in the vicinity of the drill opening. The aspirating influence reaches, or extends, or makes itself felt for a surprising distance from the drilling head, and clearly so adjacent the area in which the bur is working. Consequently, cutting debris, moisture and all the other unwanted material adjacent the excavation are immediately swept away, and the same force which effects this desirable result also serves to effect rotation of the cutting instrument itself.\nReference is' now had to the preferred form of device shown in FIGURES 4-7. In this form, a hollow sheath 72 is connected at one end to a vacuum source. (not shown), such as a high volume dental aspi-rator. The other'end of the sheath is exteriorly tapered; and its interior walls extend inwardly from the opening 73 to form .a cylindrical chamber 74 defined by walls 75, the axis the knee 77 can be rotated so that the head is inclined,\nwithin limits, to any desired degree of angularity with respect to the sheath, the limits being defined by the respective axes of the knee and the sheath. The dentist is thereby given a freedom or flexibility of angularity not possible with the handpieces and contra-angles heretofore utilized. The relatively tight fit between the walls 75 of the sheath opening and-the shank of the knee, and the interior vacuum which obtains, both serve to prevent separation between the two elements.\nThe knee 77 extends forwardly and has suitably mounted thereon, as by a weldment 78, a hollow drilling head 79' which, for aerodynamic reasons, is somewhat barrel-like in shape.\nFormed on the bottom wallportion of the knee 77 is a pair of symmetrically located apertures 81, or bleeder valve ports, increasing in size as they recede from the drilling head. Adapted selectively to cover and uncover these ports is a valve collar 82 closely encircling the underlying walls of the knee. A knurled portion 83 formed on the collar enables the dentist to slide the collar forwardly and backwardly over the ports 81 either to fully cover or to fully expose them, or to effect any desired intermediate degree of opening. When the ports are fully covered, the vacuum within the drilling head is at its maximum; when the ports are fully exposed, the vacuum within the drilling head is substantially destroyed since atmospheric air bleeds inwardly through the ports. Intermediate degrees of vacuum within the drilling head are achieved by partial uncovering. If desired, the ports 81 can be formed so that the extent or amount of their opening, as uncovering proceeds, is to a logarithmic or exponential scale so that, for example, a movement of the collar through two-thirds of its translational range from fully closed to fully open position will effect a corresponding decrease in vacuum in the head, namely, by approximately two-thirds of its maximum.\nThe barrel-shaped drilling head *79, as can be seen most clearly in FIGURE 6-, is provided adjacent its upper end with an interiorly threaded portion 86 adapted to engage with the exterior threads 87 on the enlarged head 88 of a drum 8 9, the lower margin or periphery of the drum being tapered as at 9 1.\nAn annular recess 92 is formed in the top of the enlarged drum head 88. Confined within the recess 92, with a vertical freedom of movement of about 0.001 inch, by a cap 93 threaded on the threads 87 is a transverse annular flange 94. From the flange 94 depends an elongated vertical sleeve 96 having its bottom margin 97 tapered in sloping alignment with the drum margin 91.\nThe outer races of an upper anti-friction bearing 98 and a lower anti-friction bearing 99 are mounted within the sleeve 96. Mounted, in turn, within the inner races of the bearings is a rotatable member termed generally a chuck and designated by the numeral 101.\nThe chuck 101 includes a vertical spindle portion 102 whose axis of rotation .103 is substantially coincident with the axis of the drilling head. The spindle 102 is hollow and serves to receive the shank of the conventional bur. At its lower end, the spindle is enlarged to form what is termed a jaw section 106, or bushing, the jaw section being split into a plurality of segments by slits 107, the jaw being heat-treated to provide a resilient frictional clamping effect on the encompassed portion of a burs shank.\nImmediately above the jaw 106 is a plurality of blades 111 extending radially from a hub 112 formed on the spindle. The blade envelope substantially spans the downwardly facing circular opening 113 at the bottom of the drilling head. Thus, as the vacuum within the knee chamber 116 and the head chamber 117 makes its influence felt to the atmosphere outside the head opening 113, air flow through the opening occurs. This air movement causes the blades 111 to revolve. Preferably, the blades are fabricated with predetermined airfoil sections for greatest efficiency.\nAs the blades revolve, so rotates the spindle, carrying with it a slinger 1241, the slinger including a transverse annular plate 122 mounted on the spindle and extending outwardly past the lower bearing 99, and upturned adjacent its periphery to form a conical plate 123 covering and extending to the outer margin of the tapered portion 91 of the drum 89. This construction assures a very substantial protection to the bearings 98 and 99 as well as to the sleeve 96, and is aerodynamically very satisfactory in guiding the incoming air with a minimum of turbulence.\nAerodynamic considerations are also involved in proportioning the volume within the head chamber 117 with respect to the cross-section of the knee chamber 116 so as to assure optimum air flow efliciency. The barrel shape of the head helps to provide a suflicient cross-section within the head chamber 117 to avoid constriction of air flow as the air departs from the blades and moves toward the knee chamber 116, thence through the sheath 72 to the vacuum source.\nWhile the elements of the chuck 101 can be designed to achieve a certain degree of flywheel or inertia effect, it has been found that an additional element, termed an inertia member 131, is of considerable help. The inertia member 131 takes the form of a disc or sleeve interposed between the upper and lower bearings, the disc being mounted on the spindle 182 as by an interference fit. The member should have a high specific gravity, should be relatively hard and should be inert. Gold, alloyed to increase its hardness, has been found to serve in an admirable fashion as the material to be used.\nCovering the opening 113 at the bottom of the drill head is a protective gn'llwork 133, an opening in the center of the grill serving to permit the projection therethrough of the chuck jaw portion 106, or bushing.\nAs can be :seen most clearly in FIGURES 4 and 7, a conventional bur 136 is retained by and extends downwardly from the chuck bushing. Cooperating closely with the rotational motion of the bur 136 and being favorably acted upon by the air movement upwardly in the vicinity of the bur is a stream of water, indicated by the arrow 137, issuing as a jet from a nozzle 138. The water is delivered by a small diameter water tube 141 mounted on the bottom surface of the knee and extending into the interior of the knee where it connects with a water supply tubing 142 communicating with any suitable water source. It is apparent that air or an air-water spray could also be utilized.\nThe nozzle 138 extends partially across the diameter of the head opening 113 and is directed so that the stream is parallel to the axis of bur rotation and flows very close to the bur shank.\nOwing to this parallelism and the slight conical divergence of the stream, the stream of water impinges against the bur, as appears most clearly in FIGURE 7. Assisted by the rotation of the bur and the flow of the air in the vicinity, the stream of water flows downwardly and covers all sides of the bur, and into the area 151 of the tooth 152 being excavated. Then, upon entraining or entrapping the debris at the bottom of the excavation 153, the powerful air flow induced by the aspirator picks up or sucks up, in effect, the water, and the attendant debris, and impels them upwardly through the head opening 113 and onwardly to the aspirator itself. Replacing the water and debris removed by the air flow is clean water emitted 'by the nozzle 138, the stream flow being substantially continuous, thus resulting in a continuous cleansing action.\nIt can be seen, in other words, that not only is the bur-paralleling jet of water highly eflective in placing the water accurately in a location where it does the most good, but the aspirating influence in the same vicinity serves most eifectively to keep the area free of debris and under constant unobstructed observation by the dentist.\nWhile in both of the described forms the vacuum induced by an aspirator has also served to rotate the chuck, it is to be clearly recognized that, if desired, the chuck can also be rotated by a belt, water, gear, or even a pressurized air drive, or by an electrical drive, using high frequency current, for example, without substantially interfering with the principle of aspiratin-g through the drilling head itself. However, the utilization of an aspiratorinduced air current as the bur-rotating force and as the force continuously removing moisture and debris from the oral cavity and from an excavation represents a preferred combination of extraordinary simplicity, utility and compactness. Lastly, the utilization of a vacuum rather than a compressed air system provides a much cleaner and more hygienic and sanitary environment in the area being worked on, there being no contamination by lubricating oil or by reason of compressor operation.\nWhat is claimed is:\nl.

But at the same time, it will also has some problems when cleaning the ultrasonic rotary screen, so how to rinse it to recover its cleanliness is the topic we’re going to talk about now. Here are some tips for you to refer to.\n1.You should use high viscosity cleanser when cleaning ultrasonic rotary shaking separator, the higher viscosity of the liquid, the higher of gas content inside. Then the cleaning effect would be better.\n2.The dosage of cleanser should be moderate.

The base stations can be equipped with lightweight robots featuring different grippers, safety components and feed systems as well as cameras for machine vision and are suitable for numerous applications. According to Essert, the system should offer an attractive and cost-effective solution, even for the production of small quantities. Integrated safety solutions also allow usage as cobots in interaction with human employees.\nFor the individual system components, Essert relies on standardized software modules that apparently ensure quick and smooth commissioning. Setting up does not require any additional programming knowledge and is done via the graphical user interface of a tablet PC. Special IIoT tools and cloud connectivity subsequently provide the user with data on machine status, ongoing production and possible malfunctions.\nFlexible robot cells are also already being deployed elsewhere.

{"text": "Is it too simple to suggest that instruction is needed to wind a mechanical clock? Perhaps!\nHowever, in this age of everything electronic it may surprise some people that a new-to-them mechanical clock they just purchased at the local garage sale or antique store needs to be wound on a regular basis. Winding a mechanical clock takes some care and things can go horribly wrong if it is done incorrectly.\nA chime is a musical tone and a typical musical tone found on most clocks with 3 winding points is the Westminster chime\nLet’s look at some terms.\nWinding arbors or winding points; one, two or three, what does each one do?\nLook at your clock dial and you will see one, two or three holes. The number of winding arbors correspond to the number of gear trains (or sets of gears). If there is one hole it is a time-only clock; if there are 2 holes it means that it is a time and strike clock, that is, it strikes the appropriate hour on the hour and either a bell or strike on the half hour (there are always exceptions like this two train Westminster Chime clock). Clocks with three winding arbors chime and strike the hour and chime on the quarter hour. In a clock with three arbours, generally the centre arbour winds the time train.\nPeople often confuse a strike and a chime. A strike is simply a strike. A chime is a musical tone and a typical musical tone found on most clocks with three winding points is the Westminster chime.\nOn this spring-driven Seth Thomas (photo) the left arbor (arrow) winds the strike side and the right arbor (arrow) winds the time side. On the Ingraham clock (next photo) there is only one set or train of gears for a time-only clock, hence the single arbor.\nMost clocks are deigned to run eight days. Some older clocks run 30 hours and others run as long as 30 days on a wind. For eight day clocks winding it every 7 days prevents it from stopping. It is a good practice to wind your clock on a specific day each week. My typical winding day is Saturday.\nQuite often your acquired clock has no key and if there is, it is generally a replacement key. Indeed, it is rare to find a clock with it’s original key. The key that comes with the clock will fit. One clue that the key is not original is the type of key. If your clock has a speed adjustment arbor on the clock face (F-S) usually located on the top part of the dial face, you will have a double-ended key. If your clock came with a one-ended winding key (winding arbor only) when there are is a top adjustment arbor, it is not original to the clock. Two ends are required because the speed adjustment winding arbor is significantly smaller that the winding key arbour.\nKey size and type\nGenerally speaking clocks require winding keys like this one (photo below). Keys come in various sizes and it is important to have the correct size key for your clock’s arbour. If your clock came without a key it can be purchased at any clock supply house such as Perrin in Canada.\nOver-winding a clock is a common myth. A clock which “appears” to be over-wound seizes because of a buildup of old oil and dirt in the mainspring coil\nIf the dial is covered by a glass door, open it to access the face. Insert the key into one of the winding arbors and with your non-dominant hand, steady the case while you wind the clock. I like to wear cotton gloves when I wind my clocks in order to preserve the finish.\nNext, turn the key clockwise. If it will not turn clockwise, turn counterclockwise. Yes, some clocks wind clockwise and some counterclockwise. In any event do not force the key; wind it with minimal force and wind the arbor until it winds no further.\nHere is a prime example of a past owner who used excessive force to wind the movement and in the case of the right spring barrel – the wrong direction. As you can see the right spring barrel is unhooked from the main wheel and that can only occur when attempting to wind the spring in the opposite direction. You can also see that both winding arbors are “chewed up” by what looks like a pair of pliers; a definite no-no. If you lose the key buy a new one!\nOver-winding a clock is a common myth. A clock which “appears” to be over-wound seizes because of a buildup of old oil and dirt in the mainspring coil which causes the coil to stick which is why servicing a clock is an important part of ownership. The “clicking” sound you hear when winding the arbor is the click engaging the ratchet on the mainspring. The purpose of the ratchet is to lock the mainspring in place during each turn of the key.\nWhen winding it is important to allow the key to gently rest back onto its click. On those rare occasions when the click might slip or break you must resist the urge to let it go. Allow the key to slowly unwind in your hand, otherwise damage can potentially occur to the teeth and gears if the spring unwinds freely. And yes, if you let it go it potentially means a major repair!\nOf course, not all clocks have springs. The weights on weight-driven clocks must be raised to the top. This is accomplished by either a crank placed in the winding arbor on the clock face or pulling chains to raise the weights. Slowly pull down on the chains until the weights reach the underside of the wooden board at the top of a weight stop bar. Again, I wear cotton gloves to steady the weights while they are being pulled up.\nThere you have it. Enjoy your mechanical clock and remember to wind it regularly.\nThere is nothing like the melodious rhythm of an antique clock in a quiet room.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "What are the reasons for \"maintenance\" diesel generators not catching fire?\n：发动机油路不顺畅、气缸压缩异常、润滑油太粘稠、油泵内有没有空气、燃油用尽、供油管路堵塞或漏气、油品质量达不到要求、停车阀(或燃油电磁阀）未工作、执行器未工作或调速拉杆开度过低、调速板无输出信号至执行器、转速传感器无反馈信号、进气管堵塞、排气管堵塞；其他故障。 The causes of the diesel generator not catching fire include : the engine oil circuit is not smooth, the cylinder compression is abnormal, the lubricating oil is too viscous, there is no air in the oil pump, the fuel is exhausted, the fuel supply pipeline is blocked or leaking, Not meeting requirements, stop valve (or fuel solenoid) is not working, actuator is not working, or speed control lever opening is too low, no output signal from speed governor to actuator, no feedback signal from speed sensor, blocked intake pipe, exhaust Tube blocked; other failure. The details are as follows:\nAnalysis of the causes of diesel generators not catching fire\n1. The engine oil circuit is not smooth. Check whether the oil circuit of the engine is clear. If you hear a squeaking sound from the fuel injection nozzle, it proves that there is no problem with the oil circuit.\n2. Cylinder compression. Check the compression of the cylinder. If you release the decompression device and you can still rotate the flywheel, there is a problem with the compression of the cylinder. You need to replace the cylinder piston and piston ring.\n3. Lubricant. The lubricating oil should be replaced in time. Too viscous lubricating oil is not conducive to the smooth start of the engine.\n4. Oil pump. See if there is air in the oil pump. If there is air in the oil pump, the diesel engine will not catch fire.\n5. Fuel exhaustion: refill the fuel tank with a sufficient amount of clean fuel.\n6. The fuel supply pipeline is blocked or leaking: Fill the fuel filter with fuel, remove the air in the fuel supply pipeline, and ensure that all cut-off valves in the fuel supply pipeline are in the open position;\n7. The stop valve (or fuel solenoid valve) is not working: check the power supply wire of the stop valve (or fuel solenoid valve) to ensure its connection is firm and reliable. Check the working status of the stop valve (or fuel solenoid valve) to ensure normal operation. After power supply, the parking valve (or fuel solenoid valve) can work normally;\n8. The actuator is not working: check the power supply line of the actuator to ensure that it is firmly and reliably connected, check the implementation work status, and confirm that it can work normally after obtaining normal working power;\n9. The opening speed of the speed control rod is too low: Check the speed control rod to ensure that the open position is not less than the effective position of the actuator.\n10. No output signal from the speed governor to the actuator: During the startup process, measure whether the power supply of the speed governor is normal, and measure the voltage signal output from the speed governor to the actuator.\n11. There is no feedback signal from the speed sensor: measure whether the feedback signal from the speed sensor is normal, check whether the line connection between the speed sensor and the governor is firm and reliable; remove the speed sensor to check whether the sensor head is damaged; measure the resistance of the sensor; check the speed Whether the installation of the sensor meets the requirements.\n12, blocked intake pipe, exhaust pipe: check the engine's intake pipe to ensure that the engine intake air flow; check the engine's exhaust pipe to ensure that the engine exhaust flow.\nThe above is an introduction to \"What causes a diesel generator to fail to catch fire?\" For more exciting content, please pay attention to this site!\n50KW Shangchai generator set\nFactors to consider when purchasing generator sets and their performance and quality\nHardware design and software of generator set monitoring system\n1000KW Jichai generator set\n- T2-400kw Yuchai generator set\n- 68KW Volvo generator set\n- What are the components and functions of diesel generators? 2019-12-19\n- Can the three-phase generator wiring diagram only lead to one phase ?\n- Start-up steps of automatic diesel generator2019-12-05\n- What is the reason for the small diesel generators to emit black smoke?\n- What is the reason for ` ` maintenance '' diesel generators not catching fire?\n- Maintenance tips and cleaning points for generators2019-10-26\n- Introduction to the structure and characteristics of silent diesel generators2019-10-16\n- Diesel generator wire grounding and UPS matching instructions2019-09-24", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "EKWB In Pictures\nIf there's one company in the enthusiast computer hardware space that we all love, but nobody really knows much about, it's EKWB. The company, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary soon, has never had a media visitor to its headquarters.\nRecently, EKWB moved into new offices. Of course, when I heard this, I just had to ask if Tom's Hardware could take a look. After a couple months of figuring stuff out, I boarded a flight to Slovenia and paid EKWB a visit.\nThe company's primary focus is on water blocks, but it also sells the other parts you need to build a water-cooled system, including reservoirs, fittings, tubing and pumps. Some components are made by EKWB, others are resold or re-branded.\nMeet EKWB Owner And Founder\nEdvard König is the man behind EKWB. That's also where the company gets its name: Edvard König Water Blocks. EKWB started as a garage effort when König realized that he wanted to water-cool his PC. At the time, he worked in a shop and had access to a milling machine, allowing him to build his first water block. Enthusiasm on the Slovenian forums was huge, and in 2003 König started mass production of one design, selling 100 units. In 2005, König went to business workshops and participated in a business plan competition. He won, and in 2006 he launched EK Water Blocks.\nWithin six months, he had resellers on every continent. The days were long, but growth was strong, and slowly König started taking on employees and building a team. Today, König primarily plays a strategic role in the company, having handed most control to the CEO, Mark Tanko. The company employs about 45 people at its headquarters.\nEKWB's Design Process\nOne of the block designers is Rok Dolinar, an R&D engineer at EKWB. As Dolinar explained the design process to me, he was working on a model for a water block compatible with three of Asus' Maximus VIII motherboards, which later came to be known as the EK-FB Asus M8G Monoblock.\nMapping The Hardware\nThe first step in building a water block is designing it. There are multiple ways to go about this, but for most blocks, the process starts with digitally mapping out the hardware.\nThis particular block would cover the CPU as well as the VRM circuitry around the socket. Therefore, the entire CPU socket area is mapped out, as well as the space around it.\nSplit It Up!\nFollowing the creation of the motherboard in virtual space, Dolinar went on to build the water block's base. He opted for a split base, with the area over the CPU separate from what covers the VRM circuitry.\nThe space over the CPU is the easiest to design; it's just a copy of the EK-Supremacy EVO's based, EKWB's flagship CPU water block. Conversely, the part covering the VRM circuitry has to be designed by hand.\nOver the bases goes a metal plate, followed by the top of the block.\nOops, Didn't See That\nOnce a block has been designed, it goes off to manufacturing and comes back in pieces as a prototype. The designer can then test-fit the hardware to make sure it works as intended. Of course, that's not always the case.\nAfter Dolinar made some \"non-retail\" adjustments to the prototype, he added them to the block design, sent the update back to production and tried again.\nContrary to what you might expect, EKWB doesn't actually manufacture any of its water blocks in-house. Instead, it partners with various manufacturers that own CNC (computer numerical control) milling machines. EKWB pays them to build the blocks.\nThe reason for this split is to keep the company flexible. Admittedly, EKWB could achieve higher margins if it brought manufacturing in-house. But outsourcing allows more agility, making it easier to absorb changes in the market.\nWhen a milling company receives a block design, an engineer must specify how the CNC machine should build the block. For a prototype, this step isn't very time consuming, but for final designs, the engineer has to ensure that each block spends as little time as possible inside the machine. An engineer told us this can take a full day of simulation.\nWe captured one such simulation for your viewing pleasure. You can watch a video showing the simulation of milling a GPU block here.\nThe three objects you see are not different blocks. Rather, because the milling machine can only cut from one angle, a worker has to move the block around when switching from front to back, to cutting the micro-channel structure.\nThe CNC Milling Machine\nWater blocks may be small, but the CNC milling machine is actually quite large. Much of what it does is automated, including switching tools. However, the people operating the machines do need certain qualifications.\nThis Is What You See\nIn person, it's hard to see what the milling machine is doing as a result of the fluid being sprayed everywhere. Regardless, we did get a couple of pictures at the factory.\nThe machine works with various sets of drills, which it uses to cut parts out of the copper block by following the path set by the engineer. Each has a different shape and can be used for different purposes. Naturally, the milling machines can make all sorts of objects.", "label": "Yes"}

Delhi, being the capital of India and a major commercial hub, has become a key market for food processing machinery and equipment. Investing in advanced food processing machines can help food manufacturers in Delhi enhance production efficiency, ensure food safety and quality, reduce wastage, and meet changing consumer demands.\nWe will look at some of the top food processing machines that food manufacturers in Delhi should consider for their operations:\nGrinders and Pulverizers\nGrinding and pulverizing machines are essential for breaking down raw materials like grains, spices, dried fruits, vegetables, etc. Popular options include:\n- Hammer Mills: Used for grinding spices, grains, vegetables, etc. Have swinging or stationary steel bars (hammers) that pulverize material on collision with serrated screens. High capacity and consistent particle size reduction.\n- Impact Pulverizers: Suitable for coarse to medium grinding of spices, grains, sugar, minerals, chemicals. Feature swinging beater plates that repeatedly impact material against grinding chamber. Energy efficient and low maintenance.\n- Pin Mills: Ideal for grinding and pulverizing food materials to fine powdered form. Have stationary serrated pins that grind material by impact and shearing as rotating rotor spins at high speed. Give narrow particle size distribution.\nMixers and Blenders\nEfficient mixing and blending of ingredients is vital in food processing. Some important types of mixers and blenders include:\n- Ribbon Blenders: Most commonly used. Excellent for quick and uniform blending of powdered ingredients like flour, spices, seasonings. Have a U-shaped horizontal trough and rotating ribbon agitator that provides efficient blending.\n- Planetary Mixers: Used for mixing, emulsifying, homogenizing, whipping etc. Have a stationary bowl with one or two rotating agitators revolving on their own axes for fast mixing action. Available in batch and continuous models.\n- Twin Shaft Mixers: Ideal for mixing dough, batters, viscous mixes. Two counter-rotating shafts with multiple blade configurations provide intensive mixing and kneading. Ensure consistency and prevent overheating.\nConveyor systems are used in food facilities for efficient transportation of raw or processed materials between machines, work areas, storage points etc. Common conveyor types are:\n- Belt Conveyors: Have an endless belt installed on rollers/pulleys used to transport material over inclined, declined or horizontal paths. Allow high throughput of bulky materials over long distances.\n- Bucket Elevators: Used for vertical transportation of powdered/granular materials. Have series of buckets attached to belt or chain that scoop and lift material up vertically. Useful for elevating flour, cornmeal etc. to upper floors.\n- Screw Conveyors: Suitable for horizontal or inclined transfer of liquid/semisolid foodstuffs like peanut butter, jams, sauces, shredded produce etc. A rotating spiral screw enclosed in trough pushes material from inlet to outlet.\nSeparating solid-liquid mixtures, concentrating juices, filtering oils etc. require specialized separation equipment like:\n- Centrifuges: Utilize centrifugal force for rapid separation of mixtures. Used for a wide range of applications from milk standardization to honey clarification. Horizontal Peeler, Tubular Bowl, and Self-Discharge centrifuges are common models.\n- Filters: Remove unwanted particulates from fluids to improve quality, appearance and purity. Plate and frame filters, vacuum belt filters and rotary drum filters are popularly used for filtration and clarification processes.\n- Evaporators: Used to remove water from food products to create concentrated extracts and purees. Rising film and falling film evaporators are common types suited for dairy, juice and food processing applications.\nFilling and Packaging Equipment\nTo pack processed food safely and hygienically, filling and packaging machines like the following are essential:\n- Form Fill Seal Machines: Form plastic film into package, fill product and seal—all in one continuous operation. High speeds possible. Suitable for snacks, confectionery, ready-to-eat meals etc.\n- Cup Filling and Sealing Machines: Fill preformed cups with products including dips, hummus, yogurt, ice cream etc. and seal with film, foil or plastic lid. Compact models available for medium to high capacity filling.\n- Bottle Filling Machines: Fill glass or plastic bottles rapidly and accurately using volumetric piston fillers or overflow fillers. Handle a range of liquids from juices to tomato sauce, jams etc.\n- Labelling Machines: Apply product labels efficiently using pressure sensitive, cold glue, or self-adhesive labelling technology. Ensure automatic high-speed labelling of bottles, containers, packets.\nWith advanced automation features like robotics and smart sensors, these machines can be integrated to create automated food processing and packaging lines that boost plant efficiency, productivity and hygiene levels.\nKey Benefits of Advanced Food Processing Machinery\nInvesting in high-quality food processing machines offers food manufacturers in Delhi several benefits:\n- Increased productivity and efficiency\n- Faster processing times and higher throughput\n- Reduced labor costs due to automation\n- Improved food safety and hygiene\n- Minimum product loss and wastage\n- Better consistency and uniformity in end products\n- Flexibility to create a wide variety of products\n- Ability to meet changing consumer demands\n- Lower maintenance costs and machine downtime\nBy deploying the latest food processing equipment, food businesses in Delhi can enhance productivity, achieve higher profitability, and gain a competitive edge in the market.\nTop Food Processing Machine Brands\nWith its growing food processing sector, India has become a major market for leading international and domestic food processing machine manufacturers.

At £12k, is it still one of the best city cars?There used to be 74bhp and 89bhp versions of this thrummy motor further up the price list, but no more, presumably at least in part due to Volkswagen’s struggles with WLTP testing. It seems a shame that this was chosen to be the sole survivor of the trio, because it can be painfully slow.\nWhat is it?You probably don’t want to like the new Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet, simply because of what it is: a convertible SUV. It hardly seems a winning combination.Take a dynamically compromised, high-riding body shape, and remove the metal roof and two doors – stripping away much of its practicality while adding weight and reducing structural integrity. Where its creators doubtless see wind-in-your-hair fun and freedom, many car enthusiasts will see confusion and compromise.But while Autocar readers are unlikely to be drawn to Volkswagen’s latest soft-top, the ongoing SUV boom (which has led to myriad other equally questionable machines) suggests plenty of buyers will be. And, leaving aside its concept, the T-Roc Cabriolet actually delivers a fairly decent first impression. With the multi-layered fabric roof up, the familiar T-Roc styling largely remains in place. The biggest difference is the removal of the two rear doors, and the addition of 34mm to the car’s overall length, with the wheelbase extended by 37mm. What can’t be seen are the various strengthening measures in the doors and underbody to recoup some of the rigidity lost by removing the hard roof, and which also add nearly 200kg to the T-Roc’s weight.\nWhat is it like?\nInside, the plush cabin will be familiar to anyone who’s sat in a regular T-Roc – or, for that matter, any recent VW. The touchscreen is within easy reach, and the controls and layout are intuitive. Our test model’s R-Line trim added extra premium feel, with the likes of leather seats and brushed metal elements.\nVolkswagen electrifies classic Type 2 Samba with 82bhp motor\nWolfsburg and eClassics team up again to create a zero-emissions variant of the iconic MicrobusAs with the electric version of the original Beetle revealed last year, the split-screen van has been completely restored, before having its flat-four petrol motor replaced by the e-Up’s 82bhp electric motor – making this the most powerful ‘official’ version of the Type 2.\nThe driving position feels a bigger change: the windscreen is more steeply raked and the front roof edge a little lower, making it feel a little less spacious and more closed in. Adults sitting in the back will definitely notice the difference, particularly after they’ve clambered in through the three-door set-up.\nThe boot is another area of compromise, with space taken to stow the roof reducing it in size from 445 to 284 litres. Access is made difficult by a relatively narrow opening, although a hatch through to the rear seats does help with bulky items.\nLowering the roof, which retracts into that storage area in just 12 seconds at the touch of a button, removes much of the slightly hemmed in feel from the cabin. Still, roof up or down, the extra weight of the T-Roc Cabriolet can be felt in its handling and performance. The 1.5-litre turbocharged engine (a 1.0-litre is also available) pulls well enough, with 148bhp and 184lb ft of torque, but you have to work it harder to extract performance than in a standard T-Roc. Our car was fitt with the seven-speed DSG auto gearbox, and performs well in most situations, as long as you don’t ask too much of it.\nRally legends twin test: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI Makinen vs Subaru Impreza 22B\nThe Evo VI and Impreza epitomised rally-inspired lunacy from Mitsubishi and Subaru, but can they thrill as much today?Right here, though, is where they peaked. Launched within a couple of years of one another in the late 1990s, the Lancer Evo VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition and Impreza 22B STi are, by general consensus, the pinnacles of their respective breeds. They are the apex four-wheel-drive rally refugees.\nAnd this isn’t a car you’ll want to push particularly hard. While the body roll is relatively well controlled, the ride is overly firm and unsettled, especially on bumpier roads. But ease off, relax and cruise more gently, and it’s far more in its element, especially on a pleasant day with the roof down. Even at motorway speeds, there’s relatively little wind buffeting when open to the elements.\nShould I buy one?\nThe T-Roc Cabriolet, then, is pretty much what you’d expect it to be. It is, emphatically, not a driver’s car. But even if you question the idea of a soft-top SUV, you have to respect that Volkswagen had delivered on that brief with conviction.\nPerhaps because these are, as we’re constantly being reminded, ‘difficult times’, but after driving it it’s hard to hate the T-Roc Cabriolet’s earnest execution of a wholly frivolous concept. It’s supposed to be fun and, in this lockdown age, a bit of carefree frivolity seems mildly appealing.\n2020 Volkswagen Tiguan R prototype previews SUV's facelift\nLong-anticipated Cupra Ateca rival resurfaces, showing off a new front end design and quad exhaustsWhile initially appearing to be an example of the high-end Tiguan R-Line, tell-tale signs that this is something more special include a visible intercooler behind the lower air intake, larger brakes and, most notably, the same quad tailpipes as the Golf R hatchback.\nStill, viewed objectively that doesn’t make up for the compromises inherent in its basic concept. But you sense those compromises won’t matter much to those people attracted to a soft-top SUV in the first place.\nVolkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet 1.5 TSI EVO R-Line specification\nWhere Somerset, UK Price £33,420 On sale now Engine 4 cyls, 1498cc, turbocharged, petrol Power 148bhp Torque 184lb ft at 1500-3500rpm Gearbox 7-spd automatic Kerb weight 1542kg Top speed 127mph 0-62mph 9.6sec Fuel economy 40.5mpg CO2 159g/km Rivals,\nVolkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet review: open-top family fun .\nDespite the weather, the UK is one of the biggest markets for soft-tops, so there’s no better time than now to test the all-new Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet. The VW T-Roc Cabriolet is an example of one of those cars that shouldn’t really work – but does. Chopping the roof off an SUV has been tried before (remember the short-lived Range Rover Evoque Convertible?), but the difference with the T-Roc is that it fills the big gap left by the Beetle and Golf Cabriolets, which are also no longer manufactured.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "SAXUM's CEO, Dr Eng Guillermo Etse, presented a Technical Talk named \"Moderation and analysis of seismic dynamic interaction in soil foundation-mill systems\" within the framework of the XXVII Argentine Conference on Structural Engineering.\nThe mineral processing industry such as metalliferous mineral mining plants (copper, gold, silver, etc.) and cement plants, require grinding systems with high production capacity within their manufacturing process. Grinding of 100,000 ton/day capacity in mining plants, or greater, are currently a standard requirement. These high production capacities make grinding systems critical components for the operation of mineral processing plants since an eventual stoppage due to failure or collapse implies a significant economic loss.\nFrom the point of view of structural capacities and the design of their foundations, grinding plants demand equipment whose characteristics involve diverse and considerably difficult complexities. The grinding systems of mining plants, at different levels, use ball and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills. Due to their considerable dimensions and dynamic force involved, these mills require large foundations, which develop an intense dynamic interaction with the surrounding soils.\nIn this aspect, a critical element to consider is the air gap or light between the stator and the mill, which surrounds almost the entire perimeter of the mill and has millimetre dimensions. Therefore, an eventual imbalance or uncontrolled vibration of the mill could lead to impacts between it and the stator, and irreversible damage to it, as has already happened in some mining plants. As a consequence, two difficulties arise when designing foundations for ball and SAG mills. On the one hand, that the dynamic behaviour of the mill-foundation-soil system be such that controlled vibrations result in the foundation avoiding affecting the operation of the mill itself and, in parallel, that the level of vibrations transmitted to the foundation soils does not affect the operation of other mills and dynamic equipment in the vicinity. On the other hand, in the case of mining plants located in areas with high seismic risk, the design of these foundations must appropriately resist the movements and additional efforts imposed by the seismic action to avoid affecting the air gap and generating damage to the stator, windmill and the components of their supports.\nTo carry out a precise dynamic and seismic analysis of structural systems of ball and SAG mills, it is possible to proceed through detailed modelling of the set of elements that compose them, the most important being the foundation, the stator, the structure of the mill with the grinding material, and the supports of the mill and stator in the foundation. According to the experience of the authors of this work, precisely determining all the parameters of the stator, of the supports and of the mill itself, essential for advanced modelling, is highly complex or impossible, mainly due to conflicts with the intellectual property of the manufacturers of mills and stators. However, specific data can be obtained from the manufacturers, such as the stiffness of supports, and the sections and masses of the mill and the stator, which in principle do not violate the confidentiality of your information.\nIn this presentation and based on this minimal and accessible information, a simplified and efficient modelling procedure is presented to analyze the fundamental dynamic properties of the mill-foundation-soil system and, in particular, to carry out a sufficiently precise structural verification of the mill, stator, air-gap, support of the mill towards the foundation, and the design of the foundations of these mills against severe seismic dynamic actions. Likewise, numerical predictions of the seismic performance of real dynamic systems corresponding to a ball mill and a SAG mill are presented by considering their main components (mill, stator, mill supports and foundation), their interfaces and the interaction of the soil with the foundation, with the aim of reducing the level of complexity of the modelling towards a simplified model.\nThe results show the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed simplified modelling procedure and the feasibility of its use for the analysis of the dynamic behaviour of foundation systems of grinding and crushing equipment.\n- SAXUM´s Newsletter Issue #231 – May 2023 15 May, 2023\n- SAXUM’s new ISO Certifications 2023 12 April, 2023\n- SAXUM´s Newsletter Issue #221 – Dec 2022 29 November, 2022\n- SAXUM present at Expo San Juan Development Factor of Argentine Mining 2022. 17 October, 2022\n- Moderation and analysis of seismic dynamic interaction in soil-foundation-mill systems 3 October, 2022\n- SAXUM and the Ministry of Education of Tucuman presents the “Exploring Paths” project to young students 11 August, 2022", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "|Does anyone know if/what impact doing most routine maintenance yourself affects the warranty.|\n|I do not believe there is a warranty impact from user-performed routine maintenance. |\n|Keep good records so you can prove it. Keep a log and the receipts from the parts. |\nI am a dealer and encourage owner maintenance. Much higher satisfaction rates and problems are detected before they get expensive.\n|leave a paper trail. reciepts for proper filters, oil ect. |\none good thing about dealer service is catching things that a owner may not notice. i pay to get the oil changed on my truck and pay a little more, but all the fluids are topped off and the chassis gets a good going over.\ndo new boats have the arbitration clause that is becoming the standard of the automotive industry?\n|karl, are the owners or dealer mechanics better at finding 'things?' your comment made me curious.|\n|An experienced mechanic can find stuff. However, an educated owner with his head under the engine cover and listening will catch things before a tow in is required. That makes warranty easier and get the boat back on the water faster. I still like to see the boat at the 20 hour check and major tune-ups, but oil changes and similar events can be handled by the owner without a problem. |\nI encourage the owner to check the oil before each day. The tranny oil should be checked once a week or so. Smell the oil. If it smells burnt - have the motor or tranny looked at professionally. This will solve a lot of problems.\nPulling out a spark plug or two every 20 hours or so will also tell the owner a lot. Chalky or tar deposits require service. The object is to catch problems early before you are waiting the entire summer for parts.\nIf the drivetrain vibrates, check the prop. If the prop is fine, take the boat in for a shaft alignment. Motors shift over time. Proper alignment can save the tranny and/or the output shaft.\nAlso, before the riding season, run you boat around a few times and put some hours on it. Look for signs of trouble and get them fixed right away. Many problems are gradual and can be noted in advance if you know what to look for.\nOne caution, carefully read the warranty terms and follow them to the letter. There is no slack.\nCan't imagine you would be making too much money at your shop. If I were a dealer, the more oil changes, etc that my shop could do the better! You are in business to make a profit. Kind of hard to do successfully if your customers aren't coming to you for general service work IMHO.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "If you’re throwing your leg over a modern-day trail bike, chances are your trusty steed comes with adjustable geometry in the form of a “flip-chip.”\nFlip-chips have been on bikes for quite some time now. Early flip-chips took a bike with bad geometry and made it, well, slightly less bad. But, as mountain bike technology progressed, and bike engineers and manufacturers dialed in the perfect geometry, we have seen more and more flip-chip bikes.\nSo the question becomes: why? Why in a world where frame geometry is near perfection do we see more companies offering flip-chip bikes? Does a flip-chip really make that much difference in geometry? Should you look to buy a bike with a flip-chip? Ultimately, are flip-chips just a mountain bike industry sales gimmick? I would argue, yes. Well, I mean, mostly…\nAdjustable geometry for real\nWhile many bike manufacturers offer a frame with a flip-chip, only a few offer significant geometry adjustments. Bikes like the Stumpjumper Evo have an adjustable headset and a flip-chip at the axle, allowing a rider to slacken the head tube angle from 65.5 degrees all the way down to 63. Headset cups and the Mino-Link allow Trek’s new Fuel EX to change similarly. But many flip-chips only allow minor changes.\nSanta Cruz, Specialized, YT, Alchemy, Intense — from big to boutique, direct-to-consumer to local bike shop staples — we’ve seen many brands jump on the flip-chip bandwagon. And just how much is flipping your chip changing your bike’s geo? Obviously, every bike is going to be a little different. With that said, typically a flip-chip will:\n- Slacken or steepen your head tube angle by 0.5 degrees\n- Slacken or steepen your seat tube angle by about the same\n- Lengthen or shorten your wheelbase, reach, and BB height by a few millimeters\nWith nearly unnoticeable changes in geometry, it is sometimes a stretch to label a flip-chip as “adjustable geo.” Most often, the “adjustability” in the geometry of these flip-chip bikes is limited to half a degree and a few millimeters either way. Yes, you are adjusting your geometry, but is it enough to notice? Bike companies seem to think so.\nDespite the geometry not changing very much, flip-chips also may affect a bike’s geometry in undesirable ways. A slacker headtube paired with a steeper seat tube seems to be the place frame geometry has landed. Changing a flip-chip often changes the headtube and seat tube angles together. Unless your bike has adjustable headset cups, you will usually slacken your seat tube along with your head tube.\n“Flip-chip” doesn’t mean fast\nI could also argue that the name alone, flip-chip, is a bit gimmicky. The title of this technology insinuates quickness and ease, with a rider seemingly being able to adjust their geo on the fly. Any owner of a bike with a flip-chip integrated into the frame would tell you that is usually not the case.\nMost flip-chips are going to take 10 minutes to flip, if not longer. In most cases, changing your bike’s flip-chip from “high” to “low” is quite a process. First, you may have to let all the air out of your rear shock. Second, using an Allen wrench, remove the bolt that serves as the hardware for the flip-chip and shock. Next, remove the flip-chips themselves, and replace them flipped over (and sometimes on opposite sides) of the shock mount. Then, realign your rear triangle and shock to the shock mount to replace the bolt. Lastly, screw the bolt back in and air up your shock.\nWithout knowing this process, it could be easy to think that you can do your climb in the “high” setting, slackening your bike to “low” for your descent. Just flip the chip. I have never changed my flip-chip mid-ride nor have I seen anybody doing the same. I have no doubt that I would be putting dirty hardware back on my bike after dropping them in the dirt. Plus, I would end up with zero riding buddies. No one wants to hear, “hang on guys, I just need to switch my flip-chip. It’ll only be like 15 minutes…”\nOh, and hopefully you brought your shock pump and torque wrench with you.\nSet it and forget it\nOnce a rider figures out the process involved with changing a flip-chip, and the minor geometry adjustments it makes, many end up not bothering with the flip-chip at all. While no bike company advertises their flip chip as “set it and forget it,” it seems that is often what happens.\nA recent Singletracks poll showed that almost 40% of riders have never used their flip-chip. A meager 2% change their flip-chip a few times during the season and 16% switched it once and left it in that position.\nPopular mountain bike forums are littered with flip-chip discussions where users show a common theme: they just don’t flip their chips. Whatever the reason, the reality is that this seemingly quick geo adjuster typically goes unused.\nIt is adjusting geometry\nSlackening a headtube angle half a degree or shortening the reach by a few millimeters certainly may not be that noticeable. The flip-chip on my Intense Primer changes the wheelbase a measly 1 millimeter from high to low along with an overall geometry change of 1° or less. It’s a millimeter I don’t notice.\nDespite the seemingly insignificant numbers, a flip-chip is geometry adjustment nonetheless. And being able to dial in your bike’s ride feel is always a good thing. Reach is just a tad too long? Don’t buy a new stem, flip that chip! The bottom bracket is just a bit too low? Don’t buy shorter cranks. Flip the chip to the “high” setting, preventing those pedal strikes. There are times when those “insignificant” millimeters can actually amount to something.\nNew products and “exclusive” technology are always going to drive costs up. The bike market is no different. Fortunately, we have seen bike company after bike company offer frames with flip-chip technology. With flip-chips becoming nearly as common on trail bikes as a dropper post, the cost is relatively stable.\nMany companies offer complete bikes with flip-chips for under $4,000, which many consider the high end of a “budget” bike. And, if flip-chips are as gimmicky as they may seem, at least you didn’t have to pay top dollar for a bike with only one setting.\nMaybe it’s the psychology of it all\nRegardless, it looks like flip-chip technology is here to stay. Is it a gimmick? Yeah, pretty much, I’d argue. Will it change how you ride? No, probably not. With that said, I switched my Primer’s flip-chip to “low.” I can’t say I noticed a huge difference — or any at all. Yet, I kept it in the low setting. Maybe I started to feel more planted. Maybe I felt more “in the bike.” Maybe I felt more confident. Maybe.\nOr, maybe, it was actually just all in my head. With slack, long, and low being the geo mantra, do I really notice a difference, or am I just thinking I do? Is it actually the change in geometry or is it my expectation being met?\nAny opinions expressed in this article belong to the author alone, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Singletracks.com.\nI somehow suspect that the flip chip in my alloy bike makes about the same difference as the manufacturing tolerance of the frame itself\nIf it gives one an opportunity to improve the experience… Sometimes all it takes is a small tweak.\nCause everyone is exactly the same weight and physique!\nThe Marin Wolf Ridge from 2005 or so had a QR adjustable rear shock from 100 to 150mm of travel plus a TALAS fork! That is the most extreme example I’ve seen. I don’t see anyone carrying on that way of doing things. These tiny adjustments available from flip chips seem to be almost pointless.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Along with serial pumps of the accepted design according to OST and API the subsurface sucker- rod pumps for special service conditions are developed and manufactured.\nSubsurface sucker- rod split- flow pumps\nThese pumps are used for extraction of high- viscosity formation fluids with high water content.\nSpecial features: an additional oil standing valve is mounted in the middle part of the barrel; tubing liner is connected to the lower part of the pump. The pump is plunged into the oil well so that the end of the tubing liner shall be lower than the perforation interval. The pump running depth and the distance between the two standing valves depend on the specific oil well conditions (water content, viscosity, flowing level in well, depth of the perforation area, etc.)\nThe application of subsurface sucker- rod split- flow pumps helps:\n- reduce water content by 15-20%\n- increase oil production on average by 1,5 times (even by 2 times or more for some oil wells)\n- reduce water pumping costs and costs for formation water intake and preparation (due to water- cut rates reduction)\n- prolong the life of oil wells for 10-15 years more due to more flexible and complete oil formation production\n- increase the time between overhauls for pumps due to a more effective hose usage, excluding their breakage and self- unwinding.\nDeveloped by JSC “PNITI”, idea by Koshkin K.: Copyright certificate U 1323743 A2. Certificate of conformity: ROSS RU.H005 B00139.\nWear – and corrosion-resistant pumps\nPumps are intended for work in the conditions of strong wear from influence of highly aggressive environment and high content of mechanical impurity in the extracted liquid.\nWear- and corrosion resistant pumps are manufactured from stainless steel of the austenite class 12X18H10T.\nThe bore of the barrel is exposed to surface hardening with ensuring of a hardness HV 1050-1200 on depth up to 100 µm. Hardening of outside surface of plunger is provided through spraying of wear resistant powder with a hardness of not less than HRA 75 in depth of 0,35 mm. Material of valve pairs: satellite (cobalt alloy), carbide of tungsten or carbide chrome, stainless steel 95Х18.\nSubsurface sucker- rod pumps with elastic plungers\nPumps are intended for work in the conditions of aggressive environments with high content of mechanical impurities.\nDistinctive feature of this type of pumps:\nA new modified material on the basis of fluorine (PTFE) is entered into a design of the pump. Due to unique properties of new elastic material for plunger (high wear resistance, low coefficient of friction, absence of cold flow, high radiation and chemical resistance, elastic deformation), an increase in durability of the pump by 2-3 times in relation to pumps with metal plungers is reached.\nUnder the influence of the hydrostatic head pressure, the fluorine plunger is retained with its outside surface against the internal surface of the barrel, completely taking up the clearance.\n- no ingress of mechanical particles in space between the plunger and the barrel, resulting in higher barrel wear rates\n- plungers are not subject to corrosion in any aggressive media\n- no plunger jamming even in idle wells\n- stable pump performance during the fluid production with large gas and mechanical impurities contents\n- possibility to increase the plunger stroke without affecting the barrel length\n- repairability due to low barrel wear rates\n- low costs\nOur experience in developing and application of different types of pumps has proved the efficiency of special pumps. Functional properties and technical characteristics of special pumps are chosen based on the specific operating conditions. The right choice of pumps helps increase the rates of oil production and the service life of pumps even in very aggressive media as well as helps reduce the round trip costs.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Competition for the 140-year-old America`s Cup goes beyond national pride, prowess with helm and winch, or the exhilaration of knifing a sleek sailing machine across a stiff breeze on a rolling sea.\nTechnological advances made in the America`s Cup competition will influence the design and material composition of boats, airplanes and all other modes of transportation that must take into account weight, strength and wind resistance.\n''Clearly what we learn in construction and materials technology will flow to the rest of the sport,'' said John Marshall, general manager of the Partnership for America`s Cup Technology, or PACT, a technological resource pool supporting United States syndicates competing for the cup.\n''The America`s Cup is such an intense research environment that everything that affects boat speed gets worked on,'' Marshall said.\n''Unlike other sporting events, the America`s Cup is a technology test, which happens to take place in sailboats,'' said Tom Ehman, general manager of the America`s Cup Organizing Committee. ''It is a question of which country can marshal the designers and engineers to design a vessel to get around the course in ever-changing conditions in the shortest period of time.''\nThe upcoming America`s Cup will feature a new class of sailboat, appropriately dubbed the International America`s Cup Class sailboat, or IACC. The IACC will make its racing debut next week in the waters off San Diego.\nThe International America`s Cup Class World Championships begin Saturday. The ''Worlds'' will include five days of fleet racing with nine boats from six countries competing. It will be the first regatta in the new class of boat.\nAfter a free day, there will be a day of match racing, one-on-one competition between the top four contenders, then match race finals to determine the world champion.\nThe 28th America`s Cup competition begins in February 1992 with a series of races off San Diego to determine the foreign challenger and the U.S. defender. The actual race will be in May 1992.\nThe IACC sailboats will replace the 12-meters that had been used from 1958 through 1987.\nThe straightforward name for the new boats may signal an attempt by the sailing powers that be to simplify what has become an increasingly complex sport.\nOne would think that on a 12-meter boat, something would be 12 meters high, or wide, or long. Not so. The number ''12'' must be the result of a mathematical formula.\nSimilarly, the new boat has to meet a formula; using the logic that gave rise to the name ''12-meter,'' the new design could be called a ''42-meter''\nFor those with a fetish for detail, here is the formula:\nTake the length of the boat in meters and add 1.25. Multiply that by the square root of the sail area (in square meters), then subtract 9.8 and multiply the result by the cube root of the displacement (the weight of the water displaced by the craft`s hull). Then divide the result by .388. The result must equal 42.\nGot that? If not, just keep in mind that the real story behind the new design formula is more power and speed.\nThe IACC racer will be about 75 feet long, with a beam, or width, of 18 feet and a mast height of 110 feet. The crew of 16 is an increase over the 12- meter, which carried 11 people. The additional crew will be needed, given the increased size of the sails and the new and more complex race course.\n''We are developing design tools and computer programs. We are interacting with the aerospace industry and the Navy on applying the tools and methods that are used in designing aircraft, submarines and surface ships,''\nsaid Marshall, who is an Olympic bronze medalist in sailing.\n''To apply what is learned in the America`s Cup to commercial fields, we are tapping into the technology, the software and hardware, of the computer,'' Marshall said.\n''In sail racing you are looking to the last fraction of 1 percent of speed,'' he said. ''As we work with the people, we find they are very interested in applying their computer codes and tools in an environment where they are going to be tested very hard and subjected to some real analysis and validation.\n''In sail racing, you find out quickly if you are right or wrong,''\nMarshall noted. ''You go out there and either win or lose.''\nThe major corporate sponsors of PACT are high-tech companies such as Science Applications International Corp., Boeing Aircraft and International Business Machines Corp. They work closely with the design team to provide technical assistance as well as funding.\nThe group, Marshall said, is using computer technology normally used to design wings of airplanes to design keels and rudders of the sailboats.\n''Certainly technology does not get invented for our sport, but those existing technologies are often in their infancy,'' said Ehman of the America`s Cup Organizing Committee. ''People get involved in this fun sport, in a game, and they become more familiar with the technology and figure out more creative uses, not only in the marine industry, but in our day-to-day lives.''\nFor example, Ehman said, the aerospace industry benefits as America`s Cup research promotes continued miniaturization of computers, advanced navigational systems and ever-lighter but stronger materials.\nThere is much in common between flying and sailing. An aircraft wing is shaped to make the air passing over it travel a longer distance. As the air accelerates, it reduces pressure on top of the wing and creates lift, which allows the aircraft to fly.\nThe mast and sails of a boat act like a wing. They are shaped to create a low-pressure area, and the lift created by the sail is translated into forward motion by the shape of the keel, the weighted projection on the bottom of the craft that keeps it from capsizing or slipping sideways.\nThe America`s Cup boats will rely on design work from computer predictions, but will be backed up with wind tunnel experiments.\nThe process helps the companies in PACT, too.\n''The experiments will validate computer predictions, and you find out exactly how good the computer programs are,'' Marshall said.\n''A computer program is a simplification from nature, but does not include all the features of the real situation,'' he said. ''It is something that can be very useful, but is something you have to be skeptical about. By doing what we do in the America`s Cup, we can feed back into a company like Boeing a better understanding of the limitations of their design tools.''\nAs a result, Marshall added, ''What we learn will feed back to improve their understanding of how wings work on miltary and commercial aircraft.''\nNew materials also are getting close study. ''This is the first time that carbon fiber construction will be the basic construction material,'' Marshall said. ''The 12-meters were aluminum boats.''\nThe IACC boats have a composite construction consisting of a core of lightweight material covered with an inner and outer skin of very strong carbon fiber.\n''We see military aircraft with substantial use of composites-the Stealth planes are almost entirely composite,'' Marshall said. ''Most sailboats are made of fiberglass, but we are going to see carbon fiber and Kevlar used more broadly because of its high strength-to-weight ratio.''\nPound for pound, Kevlar is stronger than steel, although it`s much lighter; the material is used to make bullet-proof vests.\n''In terms of the rig, the big and obvious change is that the masts and spars are going to be carbon fiber. I see that having direct application in cruising boats very soon,'' said Marshall, who also is executive vice president of Hinkley Co. in Maine, which makes large cruising sailboats.\n''With carbon fiber you can get the same strength for half the weight; it is about twice as strong for its weight as aluminum,'' he said.\nCarbon fiber masts will help reduce weight high on the boat; the result will be a more stable sailboat, because the center of balance will be lower.\n''Sailboat design and construction in general benefits from the experimentation and knowledge gained from applying the new technology,'' said Bruce Nelson, a designer for Team Dennis Conner, one of two American syndicates hoping to defend the Cup next year. ''It has been a traditional role of the America`s Cup to advance yacht designs.''\nDevelopments in areas such as hardware are less glamorous than the winged keels developed in the early 1980s, Nelson noted.\n''If we go back a number of years, the development of the coffee-grinder winch systems was done in America`s Cup boats,'' Marshall said. ''We now see link systems to put six or eight people grinding to pull in the same sail. The new boats will be using a system where you have a number of winches that can be driven off the same set of pedestals.''\nEhman added, ''Technologies that have been used for some time on America`s Cup boats are now finding their ways, not only to the recreational boating market, but into things like the onboard computer and navigational systems they are talking about putting into personal automobiles. It is the same technology that down the road will be showing up in wrist watches for backpackers and in your personal automobile.''\nAll the design, equipment and materials receive their ultimate tests on the water, where a new racecourse will provide a real proving ground for seamanship.\nThe 26-mile race course has eight legs and includes an ''S'' lap, a hairpin turn and a downwind finish, with the wind coming from behind. The first leg of the race is 4.25 miles straight into the wind; this is called a beat as the sailboats aim as close as possible to the direction of the wind without heading straight into it, which would cause the boat to stop.\nThe boats round the first mark and head straight downwind, on what is called a run, back toward the starting point. Here the craft hit their top speeds, nearing 20 miles an hour, and use their largest sail, the colorful 4,500 square-foot spinnaker.\nBack at the starting point, the third leg is a shorter 3.5-mile beat.\nThe fourth, fifth and sixth legs each are relatively short and combine to form a large S-shaped track just over seven miles in length.

Lucky, Gregori City, Greg., assigner to Max Ashahr, @regen City, Greg. Filed Dec. 11, 1961, Ser. No. 153,335 8 Claims. (Cl. 15-98) This invention relates to a fully automatic machine for cleaning and bufring the lanes of bowling alleys.\nGood bowlers can malte consistently better scores on lanes that are kept in first class condition. One of the most important requisites for the condition of a bowling lane that will most improve the consistency of the scores of the best bowlers is the absolute uniformity of the surface of the lane over which the ball travels before it strikes the pins. Foremost among the factors establishing a uniform condition of such surface is the uniformity of the cleaning and polishing of the surface, assuming that the floor itself is of good quality and is true and level and otherwise in good condition.\nBowling lanes have heretofore been cleaned and polished with the same kind of equipment used on other floors such as dance floors, gymnasium floors and the like. It is found, however, that the use of such equipment on bowling lanes does not achieve the degree of uniformity that is desired by the best bowlers. It is found that much of the erratic performance which has heretofore been charged to the bowler himself has, in fact, resulted from the non-uniform condition of the surfaces of the lanes.\nConventional cleaning and polishing appliances introduce certain variables into the operation which produce noticeable variations in the condition of the floor surface from point to point along and across the lane. This causes an erratic break in a hook ball which is the delivery used by most high score bowlers. In the final analysis, there is probably involved slight variations in the coefficient of friction between the ball and the floor from lane to lane and from place to place in a single lane. This is understandable considering the nature of conventional floor cleaning and polishing equipment.\nWhen a solution is applied by hand tools and bued by hand tools, a multitude of variables are introduced by the average operator involving variations in the quantity of solution, the application of pressure and the rubbing time on each local area. Conventional machine equipment has the same variables built into the mechanism in addition to the variables introduced by the operator. With conventional equipment it is diiicult even for a skilled and conscientious operator to apply and distribute the solution uniformly, conventional cylindrical brushes are not uniform from end to end and they may not be advanced at uniform velocity over all areas. Conventional disc bui-fers may be tilted, causing greater pressure on one side than on the other. When moved longitudinally' of the lane, the velocity of the disc relative to the floor is dierent on opposite sides of the disc and the disc may be caused to linger longer in certain spots than others. The result in all cases is lach of uniformity in the condition or, more specifically, the coeflicient of friction between the lane surface and the bowling ball.\nThe primary object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a buffer for bowling lanes which will achieve greater uniformity in the polish imparted lto the surface than has heretofore been attainable either manually or by machine.\nAnother object is to provide an automatic buiiing machine which will start at the foul line of a bowling lane, clean or polish the lane for a predetermined distance, stop and reverse itself, travel back to the foul line and shut itself off.\nAnother object is to provide a buliing machine of the ice type described which is easily movable from lane to lane without dragging the burmnng element across the surface of tue floor between lanes.\nAnother object is to provide a machine that will lubricate the lanes uniformly against bowling ball burn.\nAnother object is to provide a machine of the type described having a cross buliing action.\nAnother object is to provide a machine of die type described which may be pre-set to automatically clean or polish any predetermined length of lane according to the wishes of the operator.\nOther objects are to provide a machine of the type described which Will apply oil, wax or cleaning iiuid uniformly, which will `apply the buffmg pressure uniformly, which will buff mi areas of the lane-for substantially equal time intervals, and to provide a new and improved machine which is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture, which is rugged and reliable in use and which will produce good results by a relatively inexperienced and unsln'lled operator.\nThe present machine is motor driven and automatically controlled to travel from the foul line and then stop at any p edetermined point short of the pit. After stopping the machine automatically reverses and travels baci: to the foul line where it shuts itself off and waits to be moved to the next lane. During its travel down and back along the lane, a buffrng carriage reciprocates transversely from ide to side across the frame of the machine, carrying a disc-type hurling head to cross buff the lane in a zigzag pattern. Liquid solution is fed through the hollow buffer shaft and is distributed by centrifugal force throughout the bufng cloth for uniform application to the floor as long as the machine is in motion. Preferably, the supply of solution is cut off when the macln'ne stops its forward movement, the return travel producing a dry buff.\nThe machine has a three-point suspension wherein two points of Contact with the floor are through traction wheels which propel the machine. The third point of support is the bufling disc itself whereby the pressure applied to the iioor is always uniform and cannot accidentally be varied or misadjusted by the operator. One side of the machine is provided with casters so that it can be tipped up and moved from one lane to another on the casters without either the traction wheels or the buing pad touching the floor when the machine is not in operation.\nAlthough the machine is referred to generally as a buffing machine, it is also equally capable of waxing, oiling, polishing and cleaning, depending upon the type of solution supplied to its tank.\nThe foregoing and other objects and advantages will become apparent and the invention will be better understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment of machine illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Various changes may be made, however, in the construction and arrangement of parts and certain features may be used without others. All such modifications within the scope of the appended claims are ineluded in the invention.\nIn the drawings:\nFIGURE l is a top plan view of a machine embodying the principles of the invention;\nFGURE 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of FIGURE l;\nIGUREL 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of FIGURE l;\nFiGURE 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of FIGURE l;\nFIGURE 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 5--5 of FIGURE l;\nFIGURE 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6 5 of FIGURE l;\nFIGURE 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of FIGURE i; with parts broken away;\nFIGURE 8 is a fragmentary bottom plan View of the buiiing disc; y\nFIGURE 9 is a fragmentary View taken on the line 9 9 of FEGURE l;\nFIGURE l is a diagram of the dressing pattern on a bowling lane with a seventeen inch disc;\nFIGURE ll is a diagram of the cleaning pattern on a bowling lane using a twenty-four inch disc; and\nFIGURE 12 is a wiring diagram of the electrical control system.\nReferring first to FIGURE l, the machine has a rectangnlar frame 1Q which has three point support on a pair of drive wheels 11 and a builing disc 12 when the machine is in operation. On the upright forward side of the frame are mounted four caster wheels 13 for moving the machine about by hand in a tipped up position when it is not in oaeration. By lifting the rear side of the frame, the machine will stand on edge on the wheels 13 with the drive wheels 11 and huing disc 12 elevated above the licor. When the machine is in operation the wheels 11 roll on the lane surface adjacent to the ball gutters and the machine is kept from wandering by four guide wheels 14 which are spaced more widely apart than the wheels 11 and are mounted in a lower position to engage the vertical edges of the ball gutters.\nThe wheels 11 are keyed to a shaft 1S which is mounted in bearings in the ends of bracket arms 16 attached to the frame. One endof the shaft is equipped with a gear 17 which is driven by a worm 1S on a shaft 19. Shaft 19 is driven by a motor 2t) through a chain 21 to the sprocket wheel 22, as shown in FIGURE 2.\nExtending across the frame 19 is a pair of parallel rods 24 supporting a reciprocating carriage 25. The carriage is reciprocatedy on rods 24 by means of a pin and roller 26 on endless chains 27 on the front and rear sides of the frame. Each roller 26 is confined in a vertical slot 2S in a slot plate 29 on the side of the carriage. The chains 27 are trained around sprocket wheels 3@ and 31 on stub shafts mounted on the frame 11i. The sprocket wheels 39 are connected with sprocket wheels 32 which are driven byV chains 33 fromV sprocket wheels 34 on the shaft 19, as shown in FIGURE 7. Operation of the motor 2@ rotates the drive wheels 11 and reciprocates carriage 12 a distance equal to the length of the path of travel of roller 26 on the endless chain 27.\nMounted on the carriage 25 is a motor 4l) for driving the disc 12. A hollow shaft 41 is mounted in bearings 42 and d3 on the Ycarriage 25. T he lower end of the shaft is reducedV at 44 to tit loosely in a central hole in the disc. A shoulder' on the shaft at the upper end of the reduced portion supports the rear side of the machine on the disc. A flanged collar or hub 45 connected with the disc by screws 46 has a pair of internal recesses or pockets in its opposite sides to contain the blocks 47 with a loose fit. These blocks are pinned to the shaft by transverse pin 4S to drive the disc. Compression spring 49 bears against the upper intumed frange on collar 45 to hold the disc normally perpendicular to the shaft.\nThe loose iits in the connection between the shaft and disc provide a universal joint having suhicient freedom of relative movement to permit the disc to adjust itself to the plane of the iloor while it is rotating whereby the disc bears against the door with uniform pressure over the whole area of the disc at all times. Separation of the disc from the shaft is prevented by the upper inturned flange portions of collar 45 which overlie blocks 47 and coniine them loosely in the collar recesses. Shaft 41 is driven by belt 50. This belt may be of any suitable type such as rubber composition or a metal chain belt, or shaft 41 may be geared to the motor shaft if desired.\nMounted on the carriage 25 is a tank 51 for polishing or cleaning liquid. The tank has a filler opening 52 in one corner which is located so as to be on an upper side of the tank when the machine is resting on wheels 11 and disc 12 and, also, when the machine is tipped upright on its caster wheels 13. The tank feeds its liquid through a conduit 53 to a solenoid valve 5S andl thence to a manually adjustable meteringv valve 56. From valve 56 the liquid drips into hollow shaft 41 through a discharge tube 57. The electrical conductors for motor 4t! and Valve 55 are contained in a coiled spring cord 58 which will stretch and contract to accommodate the reciprocating movement of the carriage. The electrical conductors for solenoid valve 55 are contained in the conduit 54 in FIGURE 3 extending from motor 46 to the valve.\nCemented to the under side of the metal disc 12 is a rubber disc 61 having a central opening S9 and radial grooves 6h. The composite disc is then covered with a porous and absorbent material 62, such as toweling, which from whence it escapes into the absorbent cover 62. By\nthis manner of application the liquid is distributed uniformly on the il'oor surface directly by the polishing and buiiing element itself, it being remembered that in addition to its rotative movement the disc 12 also reciprocates from side to side with the carriage 25 as the machine travels down the lane.\nFIGURE l0 shows the dressing pattern with a seventeen inch diameter disc. As the machine moves down the lane L, the revolving disc reciprocates from side to side without quite reaching the edges of the lane. This leaves along each edge a narrow undressed track 11a in which the wheels 11V travel.\nFIGURE l2 shows the cleaning pattern using a twentyfour inch diax leter disc, the two discs being readily detachable from the end of shaft 41 by means of screws 46. The larger disc sweeps over the edges of the lane a surticient distance to insure thorough cleaning ofthe whole lane surface from gutter to gutter.\nControl Syetem The electrical system is energized from a pair of alternating current supply wires 79 and 71 in FIGURE l2. These wires are embodied in a flexible cable 68' in FIG- URE l which is pulled behind the machine in one of the ball gutters without interference with the guide wheels 14. When the machine returns to the foul line, the cable doubles back and is pulled along by Vthe machine. The machine is equipped on its opposite'sides with electrical receptacles to receive the cord plug 69 so that the cord may be disposed in either the left or right gutter.\nSupply wire 7G connects with one terminal of the coil in solenoid Valve 55 and also one terminal of a relay solenoid 72. Wire 76 also connects with one terminal of delay relay solenoid 73 and one terminal of the main contacter solenoid 74. Further, the wire 70 connects with a Contact 75 in the latter. Supply wire 71 connects with a make contact in push button start switch 76 and a contact 77 in the main contactor whichV is designated generally by the number 74. Y\nThe other terminals of valve solenoid 55 and relay solenoid 72 are connected through a branched wire 7S to the other make contact in start switch 76. The start switch also has a pair of break contacts connected, respectively, with wires 80 and 81.V This switch is spring actuated to the normal position shown. Wire Slis connected with one terminal of reverse relay solenoid 82, the other terminal being connected with a branched wire 83. Wire Y83 is in the power circuit for travel motor 2l)V and is energized from supply wire 70 through .the contact bar 84 in main contactor 74. Y\nAnother branch of wire 83 forms one side of the power circuit to buffer motor 40. These circuit connections Vare made through .Contact 8S when contactor solenoid V'i4 is energized. The other power circuit wire for buffer motor 4G is a wire 86 having several branches including a connection with a contact 87 in the main contactor 74. Contact har 88 bridges the contacts 77 and 87 when the contactor is energized. When solenoid 74 is deenergized the contact bars 84 and 8S are spring returned to open circuit position as shown.\nThe other terminal of contacter solenoid 74 is energized through a wire 89 and gutter limit switch 99 which is normally spring closed. This switch is opened by the actuating spring finger 90a in FIGURE 9 which depends into the left ball gutter. One terminal of gutter switch 90 is connected to a branch of wire S6. Another branch of wire 86 is connected to the armature contact bar 91 of the relay designated generally by the numeral 72. This contact bar normally engages a contact 92 connected with the wire 81 when solenoid 72 is deenergized.\nAnother branch of wire 86 is normally connected through contact bar 95 with a power circuit wire 96 for travel motor 2G. Contact bar 95 is lifted when the solenoid of delay relay 73 is energized. Reversing relay 82 is normally spring actuated to forward position. Energization of solenoid 82 reverses the travel motor.\nThe synchronous timer motor lll() is energized through branches of wires 70 and 78. This motor operates a pair of cam switches 101 and 102. One branch of wire 78 is connected through switch 101 to a wire 103. Wire 193 is connected to a Contact 164 which is engaged by the relay contact bar 91 when the relay solenoid 72 is energized. When timer switch 102 is closed it completes a circuit from wire 103 to a wire 1115 connected with one terminal of delay relay solenoid 73.\nThe timer mechanism is contained within the housing 110 in FIGURE 1. As shown in FIGURE 9, this mechanism has an instrument face with a scale 111 and two movable pointers 112 and 113. The pointer 112 is a stop or limit pointer connected with a setting knob 114 while the pointer 113 is a progress pointer driven by timing motor 100. Timing motor 100 is a synchronous motor and travel motor is a constant speed motor whereby the scale 111 may be cm'ibrated in units of travel distance instead of units of time.\nOperation The operator sets the limit pointer 112 to the distance he wants the machine to run forward from the foul line toward the head pin position and thereafter the setting of pointer 112 remains xed and does not have to be readjusted until the operator wishes to change the distance. For example, in bufling he may wish the machine to run a distance of thirty or forty feet from the foul line while for cleaning he may want the machine to travel all the way to the pit. As will presently be described, the motordriven progress pointer 113 automatically resets itself counterclockwise to the position of manually adjustable limit pointer 112 after each operation and then as the machine travels forward from the foul line in the next operation, the pointer 113 moves clockwise back to zero on scale 111 at which point the machine is stopped and reversed to return to the foul line.\nThe machine can be started from the foul line or any point forward from the foul line where the flexible actuating nger 99a for gutter switch 96 will project into the gutter. As illustrated in the preferred embodiment, the drive wheels 11 and gutter switch linger 99a are on the leading side of the machine in its forward direction of travel whereby the switch linger projects into the left gutter. Switch 90 is normally closed and the other switches and relays are in the positions shown at FIGURE l2 when the machine is ready to start. All circuits are disconnected from supply line 71 at switch 76 and contact 77. Progress pointer 113 is in reset position coinciding with limit pointer 112.\nThe machine is started forward by momentarily depressing push button start switch 76. The back contacts in this switch first open the reverse relay circuit through wires 8l) and 81 so that reverse relay 82. cannot be momentarily actuated before the forward drive circuit is established. Further depression of push button switch 76 closes a circuit through the several branches of wire 73 to open solenoid valve 55, start timer motor 166, energize rela' solenoid '72 and energize relay contact 194 through wire 1tl3 and the closed switch 101.\nEnergization of relay 72 closes relay switch 91 on energized contact ldd to energize wire 85. This operation of the relay switch also opens the circuit to wire 81 to prevent energization of reversing relay 32 when start switch 7d is released to return to its original position shown.\nWire 86 energizes the main contact or solenoid 74 through closed switch and wire S9. The energization of the main contactor moves contact bars S4 and S3 to cornplete the power circuits to the motors 2@ and 46 and also establishes a holding circuit through contact bar 88 to wire 85 to maintain the energization of the circuits just described ater push button start switch 76 is released. As the machine moves forward away from the foul line, motorriven pointer 113 rotates clockwise away from the preset pointer 112 Vtoward the bottom zero position on scale 111, as shown in FIGURE 9. Since motor 104) runs at constant synchronous speed and motor 2lb also runs at constant speed, the result is the same as though the armature shaft of timer motor 1li@ were geared directly to the drive wheels 11 and pointer 113 indicates the distance travelled as well as the distance remaining to be travelled.\nX75/hen pointer 113 reaches zero distance on scale 111, marking completion of the predetermined travel distance, cam switch 192 closes, energizing relay solenoid 73 to lift relay contact bar and break the power circuit through wire 96 `to travel motor 20. Bilder motor 40 continues to run. Three seconds time are allowed for the travel motor to decelerate to standstill and at this time the timer switch 1tl1 opens to deenergize and close solenoid valve SS, stop the timer motor and deenergize relay solenoid 72. The deenergization of relay 72 drops contact bar 91 back to contact 92 to energize reverse relay S2 through wn'res S6 and 81.\nThe deenergization of timer motor 10i? releases a spring reset, not shown, which returns pointer 113 countercloclrwise to the position of pre-set limit pointer 112 and returns cam switches 101 and 162 to the positions shown. The re-closing of switch 101 by this reset movement does not re-energize the timer motor because its circuit remains interrupted at contact 194 and push button switch 76. The re-opening of switch 192 drops relay contact bar 95 to start the travel motor in reverse. During the return travel the machine operates as a dry bud with the liquid supply shut oliE at solenoid valve 55. During the return travel only the main contacter 74, the reverse relay 82 and motors 26 and 4@ are energized.\nIt desired, liquid may be applied during the return travel as well as during the forward travel. Such change in the program is readily accomplished by merely connecting solenoid valve 55 to one of the motor circuits which remains energized during return travel.\nWhen gutter switch finger 99a reaches the foul line end of the gutter, gutter limit switch 919 is opened, deenergizing the main contacter 74. This stops both motors and deenergizes the whole system, returning it to the condition illustrated in FIGURE l2.\nThe machine is now ready to recycle. It is upended by the operator and rolled on casters 13 to the next lane and placed in position to start. While it is upended the bufng cloth 62 may be replaced if necessary.\nThus, it will be observed that the synchronous timer control enables the operator to bud or clean the lanes to any desired distance away from the foul line. Once this distance is set by pointer 112, all the lanes will be buied the same distances without any further adjustment until it is desired to change the distance as previously eX- plained.\nHaving now described my invention and in what manner'the same may be used, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:\n1.

{"text": "The spherical stylus (also called \"conical\") is the oldest stylus design for LP play. It is used extensively and it was the only shape available until the elliptical was invented and manufactured.\nThe spherical stylus is simply ball-pointed shaped at the tip end. Thus it is a sphere of typical radius= 18 micron (uM) or 0.7mil.\nExample of a real spherical - Stanton DJ stylus\nhttps://www.vinylengine.com/images/foru ... erical.jpg\nSpherical sometimes come in different radii, typically less than 18uM. In this way the stylus can trace the unworn parts of the vinyl groove. A good idea.\nThe 25uM stylus is made for mono records play. 65uM for 78RPM records.\nSo, what is the problem with the spherical? It is perfectly explained in this excellent web page by Jim Lesurf:\nBut i will hijack some of the pictures to summarize what is explained on that page.\nThe problem with the spherical is this:\nLeft blue spot - 12uM spherical\nRight one - 8x18uM elliptical\nThe diagram shows a 20KHz 0dB groove at the start of the LP side. A very high frequency at a very loud level. The modulation is horizontal (mono).\nhttps://www.vinylengine.com/images/foru ... effect.gif\nSo, as you can see, the spherical stylus is too big to trace the 20KHz tone correctly. What will happen? The spherical will \"jump\" or ride the wave \"vertically\" and thus give \"tracing distortion\". Specifically we are showing what is called \"the pinch effect\".\nAlso note that the stylus on this diagram is of 12uM radius; usually they are bigger - 18uM being a typical value. But also note that 0dB is a very high (loud) recording level for a 20KHz tone!\nThe stylus at the right, 8x18uM (.3x.7mil) elliptical, fits much better and is not showing that problem. Thus you can see how the elliptical traces better.\nIn practice this problem does not appear (or it is not significant) at the beginning of the groove. It becomes a problem [mainly for sphericals] at the end of the groove, since the groove angular speed is much smaller and thus things are tighter!!\nHere is a 20KHz 0dB at the end of the groove. Again, this is an extreme case; no sane cutting engineer would cut, at the end of the groove, such high levels at such high frequencies, though!!\nhttps://www.vinylengine.com/images/foru ... iusend.gif\nAs you can see, the pinch effect would be extreme with a spherical and would even show with the elliptical, unless we use a narrower (smaller \"r\" radius) elliptical. Or a smaller spherical [not a good idea], or a more advanced stylus shape...\nSo what can be done to diminish this problem?? Alternatives for the cutting engineer:\n(a) Tracing predistortion/ tracing compensation - while cutting the disk, a \"tracing simulator\" predicts the tracing distortion that will appear when the record is played, and adds, to the audio signal, the same distortion but in an inverse way so, when playing it with a spherical stylus of a specific radius , it will \"cancel out\".\nGoogle \"dynagroove\". Tracing predistortion has been used in many records. If you have a clean, unworn record that sounds notoriously distorted with an elliptical, but sounds very well (undistorted) with a spherical stylus, you can bet it was cut with predistortion/tracing compensation. It will only sound good with a 0.7mil conical. Thus the importance of always having a spherical/conical stylus at hand.\n(b) Introduce a strong cut-off (attenuation) of the high frequencies when approaching the end of the record and/or lower the cutting level significantly.\n(c) Assume the listener will have a great tracking cartridge with an advanced stylus shape and be happy.\n(d) I don't know. I'm not a mastering engineer.\nHowever, again, this distortion will be much more evident:\n- At the end of the record (inner grooves)\n- At loud cutting levels\nReturning to Jim Lesurf's article; he uses an estimate of the typical/max groove accelerations found on records (read his articles!) and makes the following graph:\nhttps://www.vinylengine.com/images/foru ... radius.gif\nThe curves shows what the maximum tip radius can be to safely \"read\" groove accelerations of a certain \"g\" (gravities), at the end of the record (red curve) and at the beginning of the record (blue curve).\nAs you can see, the problem -as i said before- is at the end of the record. But what about gravities? Jim Lesurf writes:\nSo he marks around 1200g with a green dotted line. That would be loudest level on a typical record. For 1200g at the end of the record you need 5uM (0.2mil) of side radius (r). And, coincidentally, the smallest profiled ellipticals sold are 0.2x0.7 mil!! But those narrow ellipticals also are the styli with the smallest contact areas (not a good thing); narrow profile and great contact area belong to... advanced stylus shapes.Looking back at the results in last month’s article we found that the largest peak accelerations observed were around 1000g. By using these results we can now assess what the demands may be on a replay stylus.\nRemember, a typical conical/spherical stylus is 18uM/0.7mil... Check out the graph and you will see that the typical conical will usually have a problem tracing the loudest parts at the end of the record, while performing fine at the beginning of the record.\nThat's why stylus comparisons should better be done using loud cuts at the end of the record!!\nAgain, this problem will be more or less noticeable depending on the cutting engineer choices at cutting the record. I have some records (usually from the start of the 60s) that perfectly OK at the inner grooves -- obviously because the cutting engineer knew everybody used spherical stylus (was there other choice before Grado's patent? :wink: ), and thus took care to significantly reduce cutting levels and high frequencies at the inner grooves.\nNow, all this analysis has been with horizontal modulation (mono only). In stereo reproduction we have vertical and horizontal components, and things get more complex!", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Definition - What does Ferromagnetic mean?\nFerromagnetic is a property of some materials, which works on the principle of ferromagnetism, the basic mechanism by which ferromagnetic materials such as ferrous alloys acquire the properties of magnets to form permanent magnets or are attracted toward a magnet. A material is said to be ferromagnetic only if all of its magnetic ions contribute to an increase in the net magnetization of the material.\nThe ferromagnetism characteristics exhibited by ferromagnetic materials have very important applications in industry and technology.\nCorrosionpedia explains Ferromagnetic\nFerromagnetic materials are the basis of many electromechanical and electrical devices such as electric motors, electromagnets, magnetic storage devices, transformers and generators.\nFerromagnetic materials such as iron and other ferrous alloys contain unpaired electrons. Each electron has its own magnetic field that readily aligns itself whenever a magnetic field is encountered from an external magnetic field. This alignment tends to remain even when the external magnetic field is removed, so that the ferromagnetic material subsequently acquires the properties of a magnet. This behavior is known as hysteresis and is the principle of operation of synchronous electric motors and some other electrical devices.", "label": "Yes"}

This would help with complex systems research done within the Ant Lab on colony behavior. However, I quickly expanded this project into a full modular framework of robotic systems that could be rapidly manufactured and assembled with tools available to the lab.\nThe final framework was a fully wireless device with two novel methods for detecting entrance and exit of small ants, involving capacitive sensing and IR(infrared) technology, as well as robotic control of internal nest dimensions and light intensity within the nest cavity.\nThe framework could be used to study the effect that changing the physical features of an ant's nest has on the behavior of ants on an individual and colony level, and how nest selection can be artificially influenced by humans.\nAcademic Poster Presented on 10/09/17 shortly before development had reached completion.", "label": "Yes"}

Up coming, you will require to function out the compressed air intake frequency and the quantity of compressed air the instruments will pull from the compressor storage tank. If this all appears extremely puzzling please don’t stress it is all unveiled within this article.\nLocating the perfect air compressor which will offer with the type of positions that you will be enterprise is typically fairly a challenging method. Obtaining stated that, with some standard information with respect to the way air compressors operate, the terminology utilized in the compressor industry along with the variation between the types of compressors, it starts off to get a complete great deal simpler to select the prime compressor for ones distinct demands.\nBeing Acquainted With all of the compressor complex terminology is critical when creating your compressor obtain determination. Even with the simple fact that the quantity of compressor sorts is frequently mind-boggling, picking the correct unit can be manufactured straightforward by asking a few vital queries.\nMatching an air tool or instruments Regular cubic feet for every minute and PSI calls for to an air compressors output capability is crucial. Normal cubic feet per minute or SCFM is the price of how a lot air the compressor can generate in just a moment. CDA Systems which are driven by making use of a compressor occur with a SCFM price this benefit will position out the air offer that is obligatory for optimum operation of the tool. Therefore, verify the common cubic toes for each moment at 90 psi when matching your air compressor SCFM rankings.\nTypical regular cubic toes for each minute usage\nAir Filter Cleaner: three\nAir Hammer, light-weight: four\nAir Hammer, hefty: 22\nAir Hoist, one thousand lb: 5\nAir Motor – .5 hp: six – 10\nAir Motor – one hp: 12 – fifteen\nThe standard cubic ft for each minute usage of air equipment can range from device to instrument, a number of equipment only have to use 1 or two SCFM even though other individuals will need to have 10 – 14 common cubic ft for every minute.\nIf you think there is the possibility that you’ll run numerous instruments at the identical time, then it is evident that you’re likely to really want way far more energy. In these kinds of a case, establish the most affordable SCFM charge for your compressor by incorporating with each other the cumulative SCFM specs for the equipment you will be functioning simultaneously. To give a bit of a buffer to the calculations you will want to insert an additional fifty p.c on to the final number.\nAir device one = 2. SCFM + Air resource two = 1. SCFM insert these with each other and the overall is three.

{"text": "Pinball machines are masterpieces of electromechanical engineering, but their glory days are long gone. Arcades are all but dead, and the only place you’re likely to find real pinball machines today is tucked into a dark corner of a bar somewhere. Unfortunately for pinball lovers, buying a used pinball machine in working condition is going to set you back a lot of money — easily thousands of dollars. It’s possible to build your own, but that can also be very expensive and takes a lot of skill. An easier approach is to follow Smithsa3’s tutorial to make a virtual pinball machine in a full-size cabinet.\nFrom a distance, this looks like any other pinball machine. But instead of real obstacles and flashing lights for the ball to bounce around, it has a screen to show all of that virtually. The two main benefits of this virtual pinball setup are the low cost and the ability to play multiple games. There are still physical controls, including a plunger for releasing the ball and a coin-op mechanism, so you’re not losing much of the classic pinball experience. This tutorial explains how to create the pinball cabinet from scratch, but it is also possible to use a vintage machine that is no longer functional.\nIf you do decide to construct the cabinet yourself, the process is similar to crafting a table and should be easy enough for experienced woodworkers to handle. The screen used to show the game is a used 37” LCD TV. You can find a used TV ike that for dirt cheap, particularly if it has a broken case that you won’t be using anyway. An additional pair of 17” LCD monitors are used to show the graphics on the back board. An old PC is used to run the games, which don’t require a whole lot of processing power or high-end video cards. A keyboard was modified to provide button input. There are different software options out there, but PinballX was used for this project. If you’ve been wanting your very own pinball machine, this is a relatively affordable way to build one.", "label": "Yes"}

One known ball joint is shown in FIG. 6. The ball joint consists of, e.g., a socket a, a bearing b provided therein, a ball stud c accommodated in the bearing b and a metal plug d for preventing removal of the ball stud c. The plug d is placed on a stepped portion c shaped upwardly and inwardly of the socket a. An upper end of the socket a is thereafter caulked inwardly by means of a spinning roller or the like, thereby forming a caulked portion f. The plug d is thus enclosed between the caulked portion f and the bearing b.\nFIG. 7 shows an arrangement in which the plug d is not provided. For example, the bearing b is incorporated into the socket a. The ball stud c is set in the bearing b. subsequent to this step, an upper part of the socket a is press-caulked spherically inwards, thus enclosing the bearing (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 25657/1976).\nThe known structure described above, however presents many defects as follows. To be specific, the plug d is indispensable for the ball joint shown in FIG. 6, as a result of which the number of parts increases and the number of assembling steps correspondingly increases. A step of machining the plug d with a given accuracy. It is also therefore required. As a result, manfacturing costs thereof are high. In relation to the ball joint of FIG. 7, there is a problem such that a scatter effect is caused between the socket and the bearing. This means the bearing presses against the spherical surface of the ball stud with excessive intensity, or the caulking strength is insufficient. In a great majority of cases, a press-contact state between the ball stud spherical surface and the bearing is unstable. In consequence, uniform performance of the ball joint cannot be obtained. When caulking the socket, the amount of a caulked portion of the socket is variable. This makes an unstable deformation of the bearing. Consequently, the ability of bearing to hold a ball stud is not constant, with the result that a large number of ball joints will be subject to deterioration.\nIt is a primary object of the present invention to obviate the problems inherent in the prior art ball joint shown in FIG. 6.\nTo this end, according to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a ball joint comprising: a socket; a bearing provided along an inner face of the socket; and a ball stud embraced by the bearing, characterized in that: the socket includes a stepped portion at an upper part and a rising portion rising integrally from an outer periphery of the stepped portion; and the bearing includes a flange portion at an upper part, the flange portion holding the ball stud and removal of the ball stud being prevented by caulking the stepped portion of the socket from upper and outer crosswise directions from the rising portion of the socket.\nIn accordance with the present invention, to eliminate especially the problems with relation to the ball joint of FIG. 6, as in the case of the ball joint shown in FIG. 7, a plug is not needed, and the bearing is retained by being caulked in the socket. This arrangement decreases the necessary nummber of components and enables manufacturing at low cost. Besides, according to the present invention, to obviate the problems of the ball joint shown in FIG. 7, the flange portion is formed on an outer face of the bearing on the caulking side. The socket is provided with the stepped portion for accommodating the flange portion, whereby only the flange portion of the bearing can be held by caulking the socket. No deformation is caused in the ball stud retaining face of the bearing. The spherical face of the ball stud can be held surely and stably by the predetermined preloads applied to the bearing.\nAccording to the present invention, the socket includes the stepped portion and the rising portion rising integrally from the outer periphery of the stepped portion at its upper part. The bearing is provided at its upper part with a flange portion a diameter of which is expanded. The flange portion retains the ball stud by being incorporated so as to caulk the stepped portion of the socket from the upper and outer crosswise directions with the rising portion of the socket. This caulking process makes it impossible to remove the ball stud from the bearing. The gaps of absorbing vertical and crosswise deformations are formed between the bearing providing the preloads acting towards the center of the ball stud and the socket holding the outer periphery of the bearing.\nOther objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the following discussion taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:\nFIG. 1 is a view depicting a whole ball joint of this invention;\nFIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing the ball joint of the invention;\nFIG. 3 is a partially sectional view illustrating a bearing according to the present invention;\nFIG. 4 is a view showing a relationship between the bearing and a socket according to the present invention;\nFIG. 5 is a view showing another embodiment of the bearing; and\nFIGS. 6 and 7 are views each showing an example of a known ball joint.\nFIG. 1 illustrates a ball joint 10. The ball joint 10 includes a socket 12. A recess 13 is defined within the socket 12. The ball joint 10 includes a bearing 14 disposed within the recess 13 of the socket 12. The bearing 14 defines a spherical cavity 15. The ball joint 10 includes a ball stud 16. The ball stud 16 includes a ball portion 17. The ball portion 17 is disposed within the spherical cavity 15 in the bearing 14.\nThe socket 12 is typically made of a metal. Formed on an upper inner wall face of the socket 12 is a first annular cavity 19 which is partially defined by a stepped portion 18 a diameter of which is expanded outwards in the radial direction. A thin rising portion 20, as indicated by a broken line of FIG. 2, extends integrally from an outer part of the stepped portion 18. A second annular cavity 21 is formed on the inner wall of the recess and is partially defined by a second stepped portion 22 is shaped downwardly of the stepped portion 18 on the inner wall face of the socket 12. A middle member 26 extending from the second stepped portion 22 to a bottom 24 assumes a curved surface having a substantially constant radius.\nThe bearing 14 is, as illustrated in, e.g., FIG. 3, composed of an upper flange portion 28 having an expanded diameter, a lower thin member 30 and a middle connecting member 32 which defines a middle or second flange 29. The lower thin member 30 is adapted to the middle member 26 of the socket 12. The inside of the middle member 26 assumes a curved surface having, e.g., a diameter D passing through a center C of the ball stud accommodated in the socket 12. An outside diameter L of the upper flange portion 28 is larger than a value given by (1.15×D). A thickness T of the flange portion 28 is approximately (0.10-0.15)×D. An upper external end 34 of the flange portion 30 is chamfered.\nThe bearing 14 serving as a spherical face retaining member of this invention is generally made of a synthetic resin. The bearing 14 is desirably formed to generate preloads p, as depicted in FIG. 4, acting in the direction toward the center of the bearing.\nTurning to FIG. 4 there is shown another embodiment of the bearing 14. In this embodiment, an outer surface of the thin member 30 assumes a spherical configuration, the thin member 30 originating from an upper part of a line H passing through the center C and orthogonal to a line V vertical to the center C of the ball stud 16 of the bearing 14 shown in FIG. 3. In contrast with this, an outer surface of a thin member 31 of FIG. 5 assume a conical configuration. This embodiment is suited to a case where the middle member 26 of the socket 12 is machined in the conical shape. The configuration of the outer surface of the thin bearing member adequately corresponds to a configuration of the middle socket member, thereby generating uniform preloads p (FIG. 4).\nThe spherical face of the ball stud 16 is retained by the bearing 14. The configuration and other elements of the ball stud 16 are the same as those known.\nWhen forming the ball joint 10 of the invention, the ball stud 16 is at first fitted into the bearing 14 to provide a subassembly. Next, the subassembly is set in the socket 12. At this time, an outer peripheral face of the connecting member of the bearing is fitted to a middle face 19 for connecting the stepped portion 18 to the second stepped portion 22 of the socket having a diameter smaller than that of this outer peripheral face. The placement is effected so that a lower face of the flange portion 28 of the bearing 14 is positioned on the stepped portion 18 of the socket 12. When the flange portion 28 of the bearing 14 is disposed on the stepped portion 18 of the socket 12, there is formed slightly inwards a gap in the radial direction between the outer peripheral face of the flang portion 28 and the face of the socket 12. The stepped face under the connecting member 32 of the bearing 14 is spaced slightlty upwards away from the second stepped portion 22 of the socket 12.\nSubsequently, the rising portion 20 of the socket 12 is caulked by a known means from a position indicated by a broken line to a position of a solid line in FIG. 2.\nInitially, the flange portion 28 of the bearing 14 disposed in a position of a one-dotted line of FIG. 2 functions as follows. As the rising portion 20 of the socket 12 is caulked inwards, the member 20 is bent along the chamfered outer end 34 of the bearing 14. As a result, the upper part of the flange portion 28 is turned inwards to embrace the upper face fo the ball stud, thus making removal of the ball stud 16 impossible. The gap between the outer peripheral face of the flange portion 28 and the inner face of the socket 12 acts to absorb a crosswise deformation of the flange portion 28 of the bearing 14 which has been compressively deformed by caulking. As illustrated in FIG. 2, a gap 38 is formed between the second stepped portion 22 of the socket 12 and the lower face of the connecting member 32 of the bearing 14. The gap 38 is intended to completely absorb a vertical deformation when a spherical center error is created in a press-fitting direction of the ball stud 16.\nOnly the flange portion of the bearing is compressively deformed and held by the socket. Other parts of the bearing are simply press-fitted therein. The preloads given by the bearing serve to improve a holding property of the ball stud and to secure durability of the ball joint.\nThe ball joint of this invention exhibits the following advantages. Collapse caused by caulking of the bearing can be limited to the flange portion of the bearing. Hence, the function and performance of the ball joint can be sufficiently maintained. It is also feasible to provide the simply constructed ball joint at a low cost.\nBesides, the caulking load does not cause any influences on the performance of the ball joint, and hence a mass production is attainable. A ball joint which permits an increase in the caulking strength and exhibits a high working strength can also be provided.\nAccording to this invention, it is possible to provide an inexpensive ball joint ball joint by reducing the number of components and of machining steps.\nThere can be provided a ball joint which provides a reliable and stable performance and has sufficient durability as a result of its uniform preloads.\nThe ball joint of this invention is useful for general industrial machines, automobiles, stabilizers, control links and so on.\nAlthough the illustrative embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to those embodiments. Various changes or modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from a scope or spirit of the invention.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US3197842 *||Feb 5, 1962||Aug 3, 1965||Eng Productions Clevedon Ltd||Method of making ball joints|\n|US3560035 *||Jan 17, 1968||Feb 2, 1971||Lemfoerder Metallwaren Ag||Universal joint construction|\n|US3677585 *||Sep 22, 1970||Jul 18, 1972||Ehrenreich & Cie A||Ball joint for vehicle linkages|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US5284398 *||Feb 18, 1992||Feb 8, 1994||Trw Steering & Industrial Products (Japan) Co., Ltd.||Pillow ball joint and method of making the joint|\n|US5609433 *||Aug 1, 1995||Mar 11, 1997||Maclean-Fogg Company||Ball joint link and method of producing same|\n|US5615967 *||Jun 3, 1994||Apr 1, 1997||Maclean-Fogg Company||Ball joint link|\n|US5713689 *||Apr 12, 1996||Feb 3, 1998||Maclean-Fogg Company||Ball joint link|\n|US6287166||Apr 17, 2000||Sep 11, 2001||C.

{"text": "Similarly, What is a battery terminal used for?\nThe electrical connectors used to connect a load (your car or other gear) or a charger to the battery are known as battery terminals. Depending on the kind, they come in a range of styles, sizes, and functionalities.\nAlso, it is asked, What part is the battery terminal?\nAny battery will have two terminals if you look at it closely. The positive terminal is denoted (+), whereas the negative terminal is marked (-). The terminals of standard flashlight batteries, such as AA, C, and D cells, are situated on the ends.\nSecondly, Are all car battery terminals the same?\nYES. This is a universal car battery terminal.\nAlso, What happens if car battery terminal loose?\nThe flow of power is hampered by a loose battery connector. The electrical systems are receiving less power, and the car will either not start or start slowly. A loose battery terminal may also cause the automobile’s electrical components, such as GPS, car lights, and audio, to fade or fail entirely.\nPeople also ask, Which battery terminal do I connect first?\n“First the positive, then the bad.” Disconnect the negative first, then the positive, when detaching the cords from the old battery. Connect the new battery in the opposite direction, positive first, then negative.”\nRelated Questions and Answers\nHow many terminals does a battery have?\nWhen looking at a battery, there are usually two terminals. The positive terminal is denoted (+), whereas the negative terminal is marked (-). The terminals of an AA, C, or D cell (standard flashlight batteries) are the battery’s ends.\nWhat size are battery terminals?\nThe 10mm ring is the most common battery terminal size. The automobile battery terminal sizes are 11mm and 13mm. The bolt has a diameter of 13mm at the terminal.\nWhat happens if you connect the negative terminal first?\nTo answer our query, Always connect the positive terminal to the automobile battery first, then the negative, and finally the ground. If you connect the negative first, you risk short-circuiting.\nHow do you jump a car without a negative terminal?\nStart by attaching the positive (red) clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery when using jumper wires. The positive (red) clamp should then be connected to the positive terminal of the donor car’s battery.\nWhen jumping a dead battery do you hook to the dead battery first or battery you are jumping it from?\nTypical Car Jump-Start Procedures Clamp one end of the positive cable to the positive clamp on the dead battery. Now have a helper attach the other end of that line to the positive clamp on the second battery. Next, connect the negative cable to the good battery’s negative connector.\nAre battery terminals Universal?\nLead battery terminals are ubiquitous due to its malleability; the same terminal may be used for both positive and negative battery posts.\nWhat size is a battery lug?\nBattery bolts may be found in a variety of sizes, according to specialists. This is what we learned from them. The most typical battery bolt has a nut that is roughly 10 millimeters or 0.4 inch in diameter, a bolt length of 1.24 inch, and a bolt thread size of 5/16 inch.\nHow do I know when my car battery needs replacing?\nHow to Tell If Your Car Battery Needs to Be Replaced 4 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Battery 1) How Your Battery Deals with Seasonal Challenges 2) Your car has been parked for an excessive amount of time. 3) Your vehicle has difficulty starting. 4) Your battery is old and the dashboard light comes on.\nHow do I know if my alternator is bad?\n7 Signs Your Alternator Is Failing Dim or very bright lighting Battery is dead. Accessories that are slow or broken. Starting problems or frequent stalling Noises of growling or whining Burning Rubber or Wires Smell Battery Alert Dash is lit up.\nCan a battery drain with the negative cable disconnected?\nAlways unplug the negative first. As previously noted, disconnecting either terminal will halt drain. Another safe technique to maintain the battery is to use a battery tender.\nWhy do batteries have 2 terminals?\nThere are two terminals on every battery: When electrons are linked to a gadget, they flow toward the positive terminal. The sign ‘+’ and/or the color red are usually used to indicate this. When electrons are linked to a gadget, they flow from the negative terminal.\nWhy does a battery have two terminals?\nA battery has two terminals: a positive (cathode) and a negative (anode) (anode). A circuit is constructed by connecting the two terminals with wire. A current of electricity is created when electrons move across the wire. A chemical process is taking place within the battery.\nWhat size socket do I need to change my battery?\nWhat are SAE battery terminals?\nCar Terminal Adapters (SAE Adapters) are all-brass terminal adapters that make it simple to connect Antigravity Batteries to performance and racing automobiles through conventional car battery connections.\nWhich lugs use for battery terminal?\nlugs of copper\nWhy does my battery spark when I try to jump it?\nWhen the power source is shut off, the inductance may have folded, resulting in a hundred volt spark. If you receive a spark when trying to jump-start your automobile, carefully connect the red jumper wire to the positive terminal of the good battery and the other to the positive terminal of the defective battery.\nWhy does my battery spark when I connect it?\nIf the battery wires are put in the wrong sequence, they might ignite. Place the positive cable on first, followed by the ground cable when connecting the battery cables. While the wires are linked to the first battery, do not allow the free end not yet attached into another battery to contact.\nDoes it matter what order you take jumper cables off?\nRemove the negative cable from the vehicle you jumped first, then the negative cable from the car with the good battery. Then remove the positive cable from the vehicle with the good battery (don’t let the clamp of the positive cable contact a grounded portion of either car).\nWhy do you not connect the negative terminal of dead battery?\nNever connect the black wire to the dead battery’s negative (−) port. This is very risky and might result in an explosion.\nWhy do you ground the negative jumper cable?\nThe negative cable is connected to ground rather than the negative terminal of the dead battery to reduce the risk of a spark near the battery, which may contain potentially explosive gasses.\nHow long does it take to jump a car?\nAnswer supplied by Once you have the wires connected, jumpstarting your automobile should only take approximately 5 minutes. If it won’t start after 5 minutes of being connected, your battery is either dead or jumped incorrectly.\nA battery terminal is the point where you can attach a car battery to your vehicle. It’s usually located on the engine block or near the engine head.\nThis Video Should Help:\nA battery terminal is a device that allows for the connection of two electrical conductors, usually a positive and negative wire. The terminals are used to provide current from one conductor to another.

{"text": "Within the context of its development in the French market, Naïo Technologies gives great importance to surrounding itself with players in the field of agriculture who wish to offer innovative and farsighted solutions for the farmers in their region.\nA look back on the interview with Jean-Baptiste JOOS, Head the Innovation and Precision Agriculture project for the Advitam Group, a new Naïo Technologies partner via its Verhaeghe machine subsidiary.\nCan you tells us in a few words about the Advitam Group and its subsidiaries?\nThe Advitam Group is a co-operative group, a major player in agriculture in the Hauts-de-France region.\nSet up by farmers within the Uneal Co-operative, the Advitam Group has diversified around new activities creating value for its subscribers, linked to its land:\n- A retail outlet for general consumers specialising in products for the garden and animals (Prise Direct’, Gamm Vert);\n- A wholesale division offering alternative services and advice for farmers who do not work within a co-operative;\n- A feed division which structures and develops local production in the region;\n- A machine division offering a full range of machines, tools and services responding to farmers’ needs. The hub now comprises three companies present in the Hauts-de-France region: Verhaeghe, Casa Service Machine and Mapp, covering the sale and maintenance of market leaders in the field of agricultural machinery and mechanised farming.\nWhat is your role within Advitam?\nI’m the Innovation and Precision Agriculture Project Leader. My role is to develop synergies within the Advitam Group in order to offer the farmers in our region innovative solutions in agricultural machines and precision agriculture to respond to their demand and the evolution of agricultural practice.\nHow does the partnership with Naïo fit into this?\nThe partnership with Naïo is within the context of the robotics project driven by the Group’s machinery pole, in synergy with the Uneal Co-operative and the wholesaler Ternoveo. By collaborating alongside Naïo Technologies, the aim is to develop skills regarding robotics in order to bring new solutions for the farmers in our region, forming a partner relationship with a major market player.\nYou’re launching an experiment campaign: can you tell us about the programme for 2021?\nThe 2021 programme is as follows:\n- Experiencing the Naïo Technologies robotics solution on our farmers’ premises, combined with our technical, agronomic and machine expertise on our region’s crops;\n- Assessing this experiment campaign in order to have quality feedback on the performances of the solution and on the interest of these robots for farms in the Hauts-de-France region.\nWhat does this experiment consist of, practically?\nThis experiment is being carried out on two plots of sugar beet, each measuring one hectare. We have been over the land three times with the Dino robot. This has allowed us to take over from the first conventional pass by the farmer.\nWe have used various tools for this. At first, we fitted Dino with discs, L-knifes and hoe blades. Then, for the second pass, Dino worked the soil with the L-knifes and hoe blades. Finally, it carried out the third pass fitted with hoe blades and finger hoes.\nIn the coming weeks, we will continue our experiment using Dino on a parcel of green beans.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Over the past two months, two sets of images of futuristic-looking electric pickup truck models from Sany have leaked from China’s patent bureau office, according to CarNewsChina. It appears the construction equipment manufacturer is going all-in on a new venture.\nSany’s plans for either design that have been unveiled remain unknown. It is possible both models, which have a more futuristic vibe with one being a sportier style, may be brought to the market, or both could remain design concepts and be used only as promotional tools.\nStill, according to CarNewsChina, it is possible Sany will unveil these electric pickups in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show. For now, these trucks are not expected to be a U.S.-focused product and may only be available in China and elsewhere overseas for testing and release first. Sany North America currently is not involved with this product and has no information on it.\nThe patent for the pickup is held by Hunan Xingbida Network Technology, which was launched in 2019 with Sany Group as the sole shareholder.\nPreliminary images leaked in early May had the truck branded as Sany, not Xingbida. The initial set of images have a very futuristic vide, reminiscent of the concept images of the Tesla Cybertruck except a bit bulkier. No specifications are currently available in terms of bed length, anticipated towing capacities or mileage.\nIn the first set of images, the vehicle is shown as a two-door vehicle with a large front, low roof and short bed. Side images appear to suggest good ground clearance, and overall, it does appear smaller than a regular full-size pickup.\nThe second set of images features a more colorful and sportier version of the original concept. Most of the images show a two-door, but this set included one four-door version.\nAs shared online by CarNewsChina, the unique design features an illuminated Sany badge, small headlights and LED daytime running lights, two large tow hooks and a winch on the front end. The images also show the Sany truck with pronounced front and rear wheel arches that are finished in gray to contrast the rest of the truck’s red paint. It appears to have pop-out handles, that sit flush with the bodywork and has a set of large side steps and handles on the C-pillars.\nA shark-fin style antenna maintains the sleek design of the truck, although the sporty red version seems slightly more truck-like versus the more futuristic preliminary photos. Lastly, the sport version noticeably includes a tow hook.\nIn recent years, a growing number of automotive companies have released or announced intentions of upcoming electric pickup trucks. Some of the models expected to hit the market soon include the 2022 Rivian R1T; 2022 GMC Hummer EV; 2023 Tesla Cybertruck; 2023 Bollinger B2; 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning; 2024 Ram 1500 Electric; and 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "IndyCar’s road/street course and short oval aerokit for the 2018 season has officially hit the track, giving us our first look at it in the flesh.\nThe American single-seater series has been busy testing its superspeedway configuration at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with Juan Pablo Montoya and Oriol Servia lapping the iconic oval.\nBut, now, it’s road/street course and short oval aerokit has broken cover during a test at the Mid-Ohio track – where IndyCar was racing last weekend, with Josef Newgarden winning.\nMontoya’s been driving the Chevrolet-powered, Penske-run car, with Servia at the wheel of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports’ Honda-engined version.\nIn case you didn’t know, IndyCar’s two engine manufacturers have different aerokits, but from 2018 a universal aerokit will be used by all of the drivers and teams.\nA lot of hype has been built up about the new aerokits, thanks to gradual reveals of renders and official pictures, before it hit the track in public for the first time.\nThe design of both the road/street course and the superspeedway configurations definitely have a retro, more simplistic vibe. They loosely resemble the low-line IndyCars of the 1990s, for sure.\nIt still uses the Dallara DW12 chassis, but the new aerokits definitely look much sleeker, more elegant and quicker than the current cars. Plus, those bulky wheel guards are gone. Yay!\nThe new bodywork generates a whole lot more of its downforce from the underside of the car. They’ll not only make the cars faster, but also improve following distances and make them safer too.\nWe’re definitely fans, what do you think?", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "After 20 years of on and off planning, a major upgrade to Fountain Valley’s aging storm drain infrastructure has another green light.\nFor an estimated $14 million, the Walnut Pump Station will get new pumps, engines, housing and debris screening to replace worn, obsolete components that the city said could fail during heavy extended rain and lead to flooding on the city’s southwest side. The station gets its name from being located along Walnut Street near Ellis Avenue and Magnolia Street.\nThe overhaul also includes significant work at the 5-million-gallon reservoir nearby.\nWork will begin this month and is expected to be done by 2020.\nThe city has been trying to improve the Walnut Pump Station since 1998 but has suspended efforts several times because of financial constraints. The facility, built in 1964, was last upgraded in 1979 and is operating on its original pumps.\nLast year, when the city overhauled another 1960s-era pump station on the north side of town, brittle old piping crumbled in workers’ hands, Public Works Director Mark Lewis told the City Council last week before it voted unanimously to reignite the Walnut Pump Station project.\nIt’s safe to assume the Walnut components are in similarly poor condition, Lewis said, and city staff can no longer find replacement parts for the engines.\n“Our crews have been amazing at using bubble gum and dental floss and all that to keep it going,” he said.\nThe facility also will need a stainless-steel trash rack, which keeps large debris often found in storm water from reaching the interior workings. The existing screen is made of wood.\nThe above-ground reservoir at Cordata Park, across the street from the pump station, will get upgraded pumps, engines and a control system. The engines no longer comply with state seismic, structural and environmental standards.\nContracts for the upgrades break down to about $12.8 million to Ontario-based Pascal & Ludwig for construction, $617,000 to Tustin-based Butier Engineering for construction management, $157,000 to Fountain Valley-based Richard Brady & Associates and $160,000 to Irvine-based AKM Consulting Engineers for construction engineering support, and about $639,000 for contingencies.\nCity staff had estimated the project would cost $10 million. Lewis attributed the higher bids to a competitive regional construction market as contractors tackle major water infrastructure projects and the widening of the 405 Freeway.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Welcome to the board!!! This is a great question. By big you could mean both round or tall? I imagine all the Disney rides are designed so that 90% of humans can ride, just like cars. Meaning that 5% on the top and bottom ends will have difficulty riding, if at all. While I am certainly overweight, if not obese, I do not have too many problems except for the safety bars sometimes since my fat is mostly in my abdomen and not my posterior. Like April (Stitch) I too have problems with the teacups, but I squeeze in there somehow.\nOriginally Posted by PA. Chris\nHere is some specific info:\nRoller Coaster Design Standards\nThe American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has a committee that deals specifically with amusement rides and devices. Standard F 1159 - 97a develops design procedures in accordance with passenger weights. The weight assigned to an adult passenger for design purposes, shall be 170 lb (77kg) or 12 lb/in. (5.4 kg/25.4 mm) of hip width at the seat, whichever is the greater amount. The weight assigned to a 12-year-old child passenger for design purposes shall be 90 lb (41kg) or 9 lb/in. (4.1 kg/25.4 mm) of hip width at the seat, which ever is the greater amount.\nThe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has published a description of the physical dimensions of a human. Standard SAE J833 specifies the physical and body pivot dimensions for small, medium, and large humans. A small human represents the 5th percentile female meaning that only 5% of the female population are smaller than the dimensions listed. A medium human represents the halfway position between the small and large humans. Large humans represent the 95th percentile male. Only 5% of the male population are larger than the dimensions given. For the purpose of our project, we will be designing our harness and restraining mechanisms in accordance with a large human. If a height restriction is required, it will be determined at a later date. The typical dimensions we will be concerned with are listed in Table 1.\nTable 1: Human Physical Dimensions (SAE, 130)\nASTM standard F 1159 – 97 also sets standards concerning passenger carrying devices. The seating must be designed \"to provide adequate support padding and containment for the passenger’s body during operation, and to be consistent with the design intent of the ride.\" Restraining mechanisms may be used when appropriate; however, the devices may not be limited to the height, speed, and forces on passengers. Passenger clearance is another standard. Design clearance is a standard that ensures safety against passengers coming into contact with other passengers or with objects that could cause injury during operation of a ride or device. This ASTM standard also states that a design will provide sufficient braking capacity to satisfy the designer’s recommended operation parameters. A block system must be implemented for those rides and devices where, by the ride design, it is necessary to prevent independent passenger carrying units from occupying the same area or block of the ride.", "label": "Yes"}

Or, asking the question another way, why do many bicycle shops conduct repair classes which might seem to take work away from their mechanics?\nIf you ride a bicycle, you are in the best position to maintain that bicycle.\nSince you have to propel it with your own strength, a bicycle is built light. A bicycle's peak performance depends on frequent fine-tuning, not just an occasional overhaul such as a washing machine or power lawnmower needs. Bicycle maintenance is not very difficult or time-consuming, but your involvement is part of the prescription for keeping your bicycle running well.\nThe moving parts of the bicycle are mostly on the outside, where you can see and hear them. You feel them through your hands, your feet, and your rear end. You, the rider, get to know your bicycle better than anyone else; you are with it every moment that it is running.\nIn the peak riding season, you may have to leave your bicycle at a bike shop for a week to wait its turn for a repair which takes a few minutes with simple tools. You'd probably rather be riding your bike.\nWorking on your bicycle makes it more useful, and has additional rewards as well.\nThere is probably no better focus for learning basic mechanical skills than a bicycle. To work on bikes, you need only a small collection of moderately priced tools. A bike is small; you don't need a big workspace. Without an engine, it is relatively clean; the dirt of bike work can be easily managed. Bicycle maintenance rarely requires brute strength; more often, it requires skilled hands and a fine touch.\nWhen you're out on the road on your bike, your mechanical skills can keep you rolling. Getting to your destination is rewarding enough, but the sense of accomplishment is an even greater reward.\nThe common repairs, like fixing a flat tire, are simple; yet there is no limit to the skill you can apply to mechanical work on bicycles. With time and patience, you build from one accomplishment to another. Given a bit of patience, almost anyone can learn to maintain his or her own bike; for those who wish to go farther, designing and building bicycles can be a lifework for a talented artisan.\nAnd you don't have to worry about putting the bike shop out of business. People who maintain their bikes use their bikes, and are valued customers.\nHowever far you wish to go, the road begins here.\nBuying or selling bikes on eBay or Craig's List ... if you wheel and deal bike stuff online, you can get the most for your investment if you know the difference between a viable fixer-upper and an unworthy junker.\nYet another answer:\nDeveloping skills-set for a career as a bicycle mechanic ... either as an independent entrepreneurship (i.e., work for yourself) or at a local shop.\n|Top of Page||Next:", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Combined heat and power (CHP) can be an efficient and clean method of generating electric power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source at the point of use. Instead of purchasing electricity from the local utility and burning fuel in an on-site furnace or boiler to produce needed thermal energy, an industrial or commercial user can use CHP to provide both energy services in one energy-efficient step.\nCHP can provide significant energy efficiency and environmental advantages over separate heat and power. By being more efficient, less fuel is consumed and greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other emissions are reduced. Properly designed CHP can also bolster the grid, provide security benefits, and potentially support intermittent renewable energy sources.\nKey Focus Areas\nCombined heat and power (CHP) is a proven commercial technology that has been used for more than a century. Currently, 82 gigawatts (GW) of CHP capacity are in use at more than 4,100 sites in the United States. Although 87% of CHP is in manufacturing plants around the country, a growing number of facilities from other sectors are considering its use. Estimates indicate the technical potential for additional CHP at existing industrial and commercial/institutional facilities is more than 130 GW. A 2009 study by McKinsey and Company estimated that 50 GW of CHP in industrial and large commercial/institutional applications could be deployable at reasonable returns with then-current equipment and energy prices.\nToday’s economic and technical potential likely exceeds these estimates given the improving outlook in natural gas supply and prices. The importance of CHP to the United States was highlighted in President Obama’s Executive Order of August 30, 2012, which calls for deployment of 40 GW of new, cost-effective CHP by 2020.\nState and Local Energy Efficiency Action (SEE) Action has identified six key focus areas for CHP:\n- Design of standby rates: encourage customer-generators to use electric service most efficiently and minimize costs they impose on the electric system.\n- Interconnection standards for CHP with no electricity export: effective standardized interconnection rules governing how on-site generators connect to the grid can help overcome barriers to customer-sited generation.\n- Excess power sales: where markets for it exist, additional revenue streams from excess power sales can help CHP projects move forward.\n- Clean energy portfolio standards (CEPS): CHP can help states meet energy efficiency or renewable portfolio standards, when it is explicitly included as an eligible resource.\n- CHP in critical infrastructure: CHP offers the opportunity to improve critical infrastructure resiliency, mitigating the impacts of an emergency by keeping critical facilities running without any interruption in service.\n- Utility participation in CHP markets: CHP installations can be increased by allowing utilities to participate in CHP markets, either by owning CHP facilities directly, or by providing packages of services to customers who own their own CHP\nSEE Action is currently working to provide state utility regulators and other state policymakers with actionable information to assist them in implementing key state policies that address barriers to, and promote opportunities for, CHP development. This includes:\n- Providing detailed information on key CHP policies, plus examples of successful state regulatory implementation strategies, which meet one of more of the following criteria: they achieve the intent of state policy; they send clear market signals; and where applicable, they adhere to the principle of ratepayer benefits or neutrality.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Today, we announce the Redline Carbon Fiber Intake for the 2015+ FA20 DIT WRX for North American and Australian models!\nThis has been in the works for a long time and we’re super pumped to officially introduce it! Not only is this Redline WRX intake great looking and an easy way to scratch that modification itch, it’s genuinely a measurable improvement for the car.\nThe air box is made from 100% carbon fiber with a twill weave pattern. The air duct and filter housing is one complete solid piece with a very sleek design and an OEM like fit that is super light and strong. We apply a high quality PPG polished coating to make it shine and also protect the carbon fiber from yellowing or failing. And, it’s accented by the black COBB plate that is only found on Redline products.\nThe intake makes use of a cone filter that is re-usable as it can be cleaned and re-oiled whenever necessary. A favorite design feature is that once the entire intake is installed, you don’t need a single tool to remove the filter to clean it or to check for dirt and debris that may have come in thru the duct.\nThis billet aluminum lid is machined to perfectly fit on top and when closed, it actually presses and secures the filter on to the velocity stack at the bottom – you don’t even need a hose clamp. We also provide adhesive foam gaskets to seal, protect, and prevent noises from the lid which is anodized in black, has the COBB C logo right in the middle, and is held in place by this billet knob that is really satisfying to turn.\nOn the underside of the airbox and attached to the filter is our glass reinforced nylon velocity stack. It ensures a snug fit with ideal airflow directed by the integrated air straighteners just before the MAF sensor.\nAnd the final major piece is the beefy 3” diameter pipe that connects the carbon air box to the actual turbo with these multilayer reinforced silicone couplers and of course as usual with all of our Redline products. We make sure the hardware is special as well. The hose clamps are black to blend in cleanly and the supplied bolts and washers are all high grade and custom just for this kit.\nThe FA20 WRX Redline intake is not just a pretty thing to look fancy under the hood. It really does boost performance in multiple ways.\nOn our dyno we compared a stock intake to the Redline intake and from around 3500rpms you begin seeing improvements in horsepower and that holds out the entire pull all the way to redline. It’s not just one convenient spot on the graph where it happens to jump up by double digits for a moment – you can see in this graph that the power difference under the curve is significant all the way through.\nIt offers more than just power, though. In addition to the velocity stack with integrated air straighteners, our engineers put a lot of effort into designing the single piece carbon air box in a way that makes it almost completely sealed with the exception of these moisture drain holes. Plus it has a shape that provides as much equal and even airflow through the entire circumference of the filter as possible to drastically cut down on turbulent and varied behavior as the air moves thru the system. This greatly reduces the need for fuel trims to compensate for that erratic airflow behavior which produces a more stable overall tune whether OTS or custom.\nIf you’re working with someone in our Protuner network, we are confident once they tune a few of these, it will be their “go-to” intake from then on. The level of consistency and accuracy in mass airflow readings that we’ve achieved after more than a full year of CAD, flow bench, dyno, road, and track testing, is unparalleled.\nThere are a lot of reasons why people like to buy intakes for their car and this intake has all of them!\n- Easy to install\n- Looks amazing\n- Top tier quality materials\n- Several unique design features\n- Performance gains and consistency\nThe COBB Redline Carbon Fiber Intake is also available in a Stage Package which includes the Accessport. This Stage 1+ Redline Carbon Fiber Power Package is available in North America (USDM) or Australian (ADM) compatibility.\n|SUBARU STAGE 1 + REDLINE CARBON FIBER POWER PACKAGE WRX 2015-2021\n|SUBARU AUSTRALIA STAGE 1 + REDLINE CARBON FIBER POWER PACKAGE WRX 2015-2021 ADM\nThe community of VA WRX owners have been hugely supportive of COBB Tuning since the cars came out in 2015.

More particularly, the present invention relates to an arm switch with a conductive member that engages with electrical contacts of an electrical circuit in response to a camming action to alter the function of an electrical instrument.\nAdvances in electronics has made electrical instruments more compact and more reliable than bulkier, older electrical instruments. Today, electrical instruments that perform a multitude of functions are portable and can be carried on the user's person or conveniently stored at home. Compactibility and reliability are especially important features for an electrical instrument that performs medical measurements, such as a reflectance photometer.\nPersons with diabetes use reflectance photometers to monitor the sugar level in their blood. Compact and portable reflectance photometers can be carried by diabetics and allows them to periodically and conveniently monitor their blood.\nReflectance photometers determine the sugar values of a blood sample through color development. The user places a drop of blood onto a chemically treated strip. The strip changes color depending on the sugar concentration of the blood. The user then inserts the strip of paper into the reflectance photometer, and light from a light-emitting diode is reflected onto the colored strip. Reflected light passes through a wavelength filter and strikes a photodetector. The electrical signals from the photodetector are evaluated and the sugar concentration of the blood sample is determined and displayed by the reflectance photometer.\nThe reflectance photometer has different mode settings essential for providing reliable measurements. In a calibration mode, the reflectance photometer calibrates itself by emitting light from a light-emitting diode onto a white surface instead of the colored strip. In this way, the reflectance photometer compensates for any distortions on the reflector surface or minor defects that could cause incorrect readings. After calibration, a user inserts the chemically treated strip with blood into the reflectance photometer. The reflectance photometer analyzes the color of the strip and gives an accurate reading of the sugar level in the blood sample.\nAt present, several reflectance photometers use a rubber switch that is compressed by a compression lever to change operation mode. The lever is pivotally mounted at one end to the top cover of the reflectance photometer. When the cover is placed onto the reflectance photometer, the other end of the lever is engaging a cam slide, and the lever is positioned over the rubber switch. To calibrate the reflectance photometer, the user slides the cam slide that forces the lever to compress the rubber switch and engage with electrical contacts on the reflectance photometer's printed circuit board. To determine the sugar level in a blood sample, the user slides the cam slide in the opposite direction that forces the lever to disengage the rubber switch from the electrical contacts on the reflectance photometer's printed circuit board.\nThis arrangement between the switch and the lever presents a problem. The reflectance photometer manufacturer must install the rubber switch separately from the lever because the lever is mounted to the top cover. The rubber switch must be carefully placed in the proper position on the reflectance photometer's printed circuit board during the manufacture of the reflectance photometer. Many times, the rubber switch can fall off the printed circuit board or become misaligned with the lever, rendering mode switching impossible and the reflectance photometer useless. Even if the rubber switch remains properly positioned, the present rubber switch and lever configuration hampers the smooth operation of the reflectance photometer. The compression of the rubber switch causes a high degree of friction between the cam slide surface and the lever, and this friction prevents the smooth switching of the reflectance photometer into calibration mode.\nThe present invention relates to a new and improved arm switch. The switch of the present invention is designed to minimize friction in changing the operation mode of an electrical instrument, enhancing the operation of the instrument. The arm switch of the present invention also removes a step from the manufacturing process of a reflectance photometer that presently requires the placing of a rubber switch onto a printed circuit board of an electrical instrument and the installing of a compression lever adjacent to the rubber switch. The arm switch of present invention utilizes a single switch body with a conductive member that engages with electrical contacts on a printed circuit board in response to the sliding of the cam slide to change the operation mode of a reflectance photometer.\nIn a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the arm switch is essential for the changing of the operation mode of the reflectance photometer and includes a switch body that is pivotally mounted to a casing of the reflectance photometer. A user changes the operation mode of the reflectance photometer by sliding a cam slide that is also mounted to the casing of the reflectance photometer and that is adjacent to the arm switch. A cam surface with a varying elevation along its length exists on the cam slide. When a user of the reflectance photometer slides the cam slide, the cam surface changes its elevation relative to a cam follower that extends from the switch body and contacts the cam surface. The cam surface causes the cam follower to change position relative to the cam surface. As the cam follower follows the cam surface, the switch body pivots and changes position according to the cam surface. A conductive member that is mounted on the switch body engages or disengages from electrical contacts located on the printed circuit board of the reflectance photometer, depending on the position of the switch body. When the user slides the cam slide to a calibration position, the cam surface is at an elevated position relative to the cam follower, and the conductive member is disengaged from the electrical contacts because the switch body is also in an elevated position. When the user slides the cam slide to a read sample position, the cam surface moves to a lower point relative to the cam follower, and the conductive member engages with the electrical contacts because the switch body is at its lowest position. A compressive member is also mounted on the switch body and is in engagement with the reflectance photometer casing. The compressive member applies a force upon the switch body in order to stabilize the switch body from misalignment and for smooth operation.\nThe arm switch of the present invention minimizes the friction that existed in the prior art between the cam slide surface and the compression lever when the lever was compressing the rubber switch. The present invention does not require the compression of a rubber switch to engage electrical contacts on a printed circuit board. As described above, to put the reflectance photometer in calibration mode, a user slides the cam slide in and causes a camming action at the cam surface. The cam surface acts upon the cam follower of the switch body and raises the switch body, resulting in the disengaging of the conductive member from the electrical contacts on the printed circuit board. For read sample mode, the user slides the cam slide out. Alternately, this causes the switch body to lower, resulting in the engaging of the conductive member with the electrical contacts of the printed circuit board. Friction is minimized because the switch body is not require to compress a rubber switch but only has to cause the conductive member to make contact with the electrical contacts.\nThe arm switch saves a manufacturing step from the prior art because the arm switch comes in one piece and is installed by simply placing the arm switch upon the printed circuit board of the reflectance photometer. The old method requires two manufacturing steps in that the cover manufacturer was required to install the lever to the cover, and properly place the rubber switch upon the printed circuit board. In addition, the rubber switch was susceptible to becoming misaligned during the manufacture of the reflectance photometer, rendering the reflectance photometer useless. The present invention does not cause such manufacturing difficulties.\nThe advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:\nFIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an electrical instrument that includes the arm switch of the present invention;\nFIG. 2 is a side view of the arm switch of the present invention in which the conductive pad of the arm switch is disengaged from electrical contacts on a printed circuit board;\nFIG. 3 is a side view of the arm switch of the present invention in which the conductive pad of the arm switch is engaged to electrical contacts on a printed circuit board;\nFIG. 4 is a perspective view of an arm switch of the present invention;\nFIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the arm switch of the present invention; and\nFIG. 6 is a side view of still another embodiment of an arm switch of the present invention.\nReferring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, there is illustrated an electrical instrument, generally designated by reference numeral 10, and, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical instrument 10 is a reflectance photometer. The instrument 10 includes an arm switch 11 that can be installed within the instrument 10 in one step. The arm switch 11 operates to change the operation mode of the instrument 10. The switch 11 includes a switch body 20 that is pivotally mounted to a casing 36 of the instrument 10 at a pivot notch 19 by a pivot member 18 that extends from the switch body 20. The switch body 20 can be composed of nylon, polycarbonate, butadiene polymers, etc. A user switches the operation mode of the instrument 10 by sliding a cam slide 12 to a desired mode position. The cam slide 12 is movably mounted to the casing 36. The cam slide 12 includes a slide mount 13. The slide mount 13 includes a cam surface 14, and both the slide mount 13 and cam surface 14 are adjacent to the arm switch 11. The cam surface 14 has a varying elevation along its length in order to initiate a camming action with a cam follower 16 that extends from the switch body 20 and contacts the cam surface 14. When a user of the instrument 10 slides the cam slide 12, the cam surface 14 changes its elevation relative to the cam follower 16. As the cam follower 16 follows the cam surface 14, a switch body 20 pivots about the pivot member 18. Depending on the position of switch body 20, a conductive member 22 that is mounted on the switch body 20 engages with or disengages from electrical contacts 34. The electrical contacts 34 can be part of a variety of electrical circuits. In the embodiment discussed here, the electrical contacts 34 are part of a electrical circuit located on a printed circuit board 32 of instrument 10. The conductive member 22 conducts electricity and can be composed of carbon loaded rubber. As discussed below, if the conductive member 22 is disengaged from the electrical contacts 34, the instrument 10 is in calibration mode. But if the conductive member 22 is engaged with the electrical contacts 34, the instrument 10 is in read sample mode.\nFIG. 2 shows the arm switch 11 with the conductive member 22 disengaged from the electrical contacts 34, placing the instrument 10 in calibration mode. When the cam slide 12 is in a calibration position, the cam follower 16 is on a high portion 44 of cam surface 14. The switch body 20 has pivoted upwards about the pivot member 18 because the cam follower 16 has become elevated. As a result of the pivoting of the switch body 20, the conductive member 22 disengages from the electrical contacts 34 on the printed circuit board 32. A compressive member 23 compresses against a cover 37 and applies a stabilizing force against misalignment and for smooth arm switch operation. The compressive member 23 can be made of silicon rubber, natural rubber, synthetic rubber or a polyurethane foam material.\nFor calibration mode, as best seen in FIG. 1, cam slide 12 is slid in the direction of arrow 5 and a light-emitting diode 28 emits a light onto a reflector 26 and light is reflected onto a white surface 27. The light reflected from the white surface passes through a wavelength filter 31 and into a photodetector 30. In this way, any distortions or minor defects in the optical components are compensated for by the instrument 10.\nAfter calibration the user inserts a chemically treated blood sample strip 25 into slot 24 of the cam slide 12 as best seen in FIG. 1. To trigger the read sample mode in the instrument 10, the user slides the cam slide 12 to its position in FIG. 1. As best seen in FIG. 1 through FIG. 4, the movement of the cam slide 12 causes the slide mount 13 and the cam surface 14 to move, positioning cam follower 16 in a lower position. When the instrument 10 is in the read sample mode, the cam follower 16 is at its lowest position. The switch body 20 pivots downward about the pivot member 18 under the force of the compressive member 23. Consequently, the downward pivoting of the switch body 20 causes the conductive member 22 to engage with the electrical contacts 34 on the printed circuit board 32. The compressive member 23 decompresses but continues to apply a downward force to the arm switch 11.\nOnce in the read sample mode, a light-emitting diode 28 emits a light onto reflector 26 and light is reflected from the reflector 26 onto the blood sample strip 25 that has been inserted into slot 24 of the cam slide 12. The light reflected from the sample strip is reflected through a wavelength filter 31 and into the photodetector 30. The instrument 10 analyzes the wavelength of the light from the sample strip and determines the level of sugar in the sample.\nFIG. 5 and FIG. 6 illustrate alternative embodiments of an arm switch of the present invention. FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of an arm switch, generally designated by the reference numeral 111. The arm switch 111 has an identical structure as arm switch 11 of FIG. 4, but a rubber cone compressive member 40 in arm switch 111 replaces the compressive member 23 of arm switch 11. The rubber button compressive member 40 operates in the same fashion as compressive member 23 of arm switch 11.\nFIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the arm switch of the present invention, generally designated by reference numeral 113. The arm switch 113 includes a switch body 120 that pivotally mounts to an instrument casing 137 with pivot member 118 that extends from the switch body 120. As described above, a user switches the operation mode of the instrument by sliding a cam slide 112 to a desired mode position. The cam slide 112 is movably mounted to the casing 137 and is adjacent to the arm switch 113. A cam surface 114 with a varying elevation along its length exists on the cam slide 112. When a user slides the cam slide 112, the cam follower 116 that extends out as part of the switch body 120 moves along the cam surface 114. As the cam follower 116 follows the cam surface 114, switch body 120 pivots about the pivot member 118 and changes position according to the cam surface 114. Depending on the position of switch body 120, a conductive member 122 that is mounted onto the switch body 120 engages or disengages from the electrical contacts 134 located on a printed circuit board 132 of the instrument. The compressive element 123 of the arm switch 113 deflects or compresses toward the switch body during engagement of the conductive member 122 with the electrical contacts 134. The compressive element 123 is in the form of a leaf spring.\nThe present invention has been described as being used with a reflectance photometer. The present invention, however, can be used with other electrical instruments. Also, the arm switch of the present invention has been described with the above embodiments, but the present invention encompasses other embodiments. For example, the arm switch can have multiple conductive members, multiple cam followers on a jointed switch body or multiple compressive elements with varying designs.\nThe invention has also been described in terms of making quantitative or qualitative measurements of flucose in whole blood or plasma. It will be understood that, depending on the chemistry employed in a test matrix, other analytes such as cholesterol can be measured. Indeed, the sample employed does not even have to be whole blood or plasma.

The one project that Hartmann has proudly accomplished and is appreciated hugely for its success is the Volkswagen Transporter (T5) which has been given a totally new and impressive look and appeal. There is nothing to point as outlandish and ridiculous in the T5 as Hartmann has done its job with such finesse.\nSpeaking about the performance enhancement of the engines of the T5, the ECU kits have shown a tremendous result by lifting the 2.0-liter TDI from 138hp (140PS) and 340Nm (251 lb-ft) to 164hp (166PS) and 395Nm (291 lb-ft) respectively. It also lifted the 2.0-liter BiTDI from 177hp (179PS) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) to 209hp (212PS) and 460Nm (339 lb-ft) respectively.\nThe skill showed by Hartman with the ‘VANSPORTS’ tuning program is excellent. Some of the notable enhancements and cool features added by it to the T5 are a sports exhaust which helps in releasing a more purposeful sound and small performance gains, a reduction in the ride height by 35 mm and 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels in 275/35 R20 tires etc. moreover, there are styling add-ons as well comprising of rocker panels, rear skirt and chrome trims and a front apron and so on.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary 5711/1P, a slightly modest three-hand watch that commemorates the 40th anniversary of Nautilus, together with the large 49.25 mm wide Nautilus Chronograph Reference 5976/1G. When Patek Philippe launched the Nautilus 3700/1A in 1976, its 42 mm wide case soon earned it the nickname “Jumbo”. Now, some forty years later, Patek Philippe must double those figures with the 5711/1P in a 44.05 mm wide all-platinum case. That’s all you need to know.\nIf the “P” in the reference number hasn’t already been known to all Patek lovers, the 5711/1P has a Petite Wesselton (meaning very high purity/clarity grade) diamond set on the bezel. The 6 o’clock position marks that it is made of the most expensive precious metal usually used in Swiss luxury timepieces. Little changed since the first Nautilus was introduced in 1976, this bracelet is a hallmark of Gerald Genta’s original design, also entirely in platinum, with brushed links and polished center links.\nThe case diameter is 44.05 mm, which seems large, and is measured from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock, including the crown. On the other hand, the measurement from the 10 o’clock to the 4 o’clock position, excluding the crown protection and the corresponding “lugs” on the left side of the case, is only 40 mm, while the lugs of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary 5711 The pair lugs/1P are also a very wearable 44mm (to give you an idea, most 42mm diameter round best fake watches are 49 to 50mm lug to lug). That’s why the 44mm case can’t actually be worn so big. The waterproof level has not changed much in 40 years and remains at 120 meters.\nIn addition to the platinum case and bracelet, 18K white gold baton-style hour and minute hands (the seconds hand is in rhodium-plated brass) and some large baguette-cut hour markers on the dial add extra flair to the watch. The blue “garage door” dial of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary Reference 5711/1P. The dial is 18k yellow gold with PVD blue treatment, and the “40” above the “1976-2016” is a little less conspicuous and disruptive than the one on the 5976/1G chronograph. The blue of the Nautilus has always looked good.\nThe movement inside is the Patek Philippe 324 SC automatic movement, which powers many Nautilus and other watches. It features the time and date with a central seconds hand (white date wheel at 3 o’clock), as well as other standard cheap Patek Philippe items such as the Gyromax balance wheel, Spiromax hairspring and, of course, the Patek Philippe Seal. Despite these advantages, the power reserve is expected to be between 35 and 45 hours, which is acceptable given that the 324SC is only 3.3mm thick and features 21-karat gold rotors – though we’re still not sure what caused the 10 Caliber approved changing hours, without the need for a chronograph or complicated calendar functions.\nWe briefly touched on some Nautilus history when we discussed the 5976/1G, but 40 years is relatively new in the brand’s 175+ year history. At this point, we’ve moved beyond the irony of a platinum version of a watch representing a luxury steel sports watch, which is irony in itself. The return of the brown natural cork box is a cool “throwback” of the historic character, an authentic replica of the sleek 1976 original. Like the original Nautilus, it is designed to evoke vivid associations with the proud ocean liners that inspired the porthole design of this casually elegant timepiece. The 40th Anniversary cork has a polished stainless steel frame at the base and hinged lid, and a steel plaque on the front, also a faithful replica of the 1976 original.\nPatek Philippe fake inaugurated the grand exhibition ‘The Art of Watches’ Tokyo 2023. After Dubai in 2012, Munich in 2013, London in 2015, New York in 2017 and Singapore in 2019, the renowned independent family-owned watchmaker chose Japan and Tokyo as destinations for the sixth edition of the fair.\nFrom June 10 to June 25, 2023, the public will be able to enjoy a full range of immersive experiences and gain an in-depth understanding of the brand’s heritage, craftsmanship and behind-the-scenes operations.\n“The Art of Clockwork” brings together over 500 timepieces and objects, demonstrating a wealth of different types of expertise. In particular, visitors can admire the full current collection of the manufacturer as well as rare handicrafts, including micro-painting on enamel, cloisonné enamel, hand-carving, micro-wood marquetry, hand-guilloché and gem-setting. Wholesale replica watches\nThe exhibition also features some 190 pieces belonging to the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, which were given special permission to participate in the event in Tokyo.\nAs the largest exhibition ever held by the manufacturer, the event simultaneously launched six limited-edition watches. Of these six new products, two make their world debut: a new self-winding quadruple complication and the first World Time watch with a date display synchronized with local time.\nThe quadruple complication reference 5308P-010 Limited Edition Tokyo 2023 limited edition is a self-winding watch that combines a minute repeater, a split-seconds chronograph and an instantaneous perpetual calendar through an aperture.\nThe new caliber R CHR 27 PS QI movement (799 parts) is equipped with a platinum micro-rotor that increases winding power and is distinguished by two patented innovations that reduce the energy consumption associated with clutches and rattrapante hands.\nMonopusher chronograph with 60-minute and 12-hour counters at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively. The split seconds hand is controlled by a pusher at 4 o’clock. The instantaneous perpetual calendar ensures that the disc advances within 30 milliseconds, in the 3 day, date and month windows, arranged along an arc, and in the leap year window, on a rose gold-plated opal dial. Buy replica Watches\nThe timepiece features a fully polished 42 mm platinum case and features two interchangeable case backs: one in sapphire crystal with the transfer “Patek Philippe Tokyo” and the other in solid platinum with the same engraving. Text.\nWorld Time Reference 5330G-010 Limited Edition Tokyo 2023, limited edition, marks the introduction of a patented date display synchronized with local time – time zone selection at 12 o’clock and displayed by the central hand.\nTo provide this unique function, Patek Philippe has developed a new movement, the ultra-thin self-winding Caliber 240 HU C, equipped with an innovative differential system (70 parts) capable of managing the date in local time.\nFuchsia dial with hand-guilloché center. The date is displayed on the beveled flange of the dial by a glass central hand with a red tip. The name “Tokyo” appears in red on the city plate. On the 24-hour disc divided into day and night zones, a red rising sun – the national emblem of Japan – replaces the traditional sun symbol.

Sapphire crystal case back with “Patek Philippe Tokyo” decal.\nThe dial of the World Time Minute Repeater Reference 5531R-014 Limited Edition Tokyo 2023 is adorned with a miniature masterpiece of rare craftsmanship – the Grand Feu cloisonné enamel decoration representing the historic Chuo Ward in central Tokyo. The name “Tokyo” appears in red on the city plate.\nThe self-winding caliber R 27 HU, comprising 452 parts, is housed in a 40.2 mm rose gold case with hand-guilloché “Clous de Paris” (Paris nails) on the case strap and minute repeater slider. nail) pattern.\nThe watch comes with two interchangeable case backs, one in sapphire crystal with the transferred inscription “Patek Philippe Tokyo” and the other in solid rose gold with the same engraving.\nCompleting the offering is a reinterpretation of the ladies’ Moonphase model (Ref. 7121/200G-010) and two elegant and understated new Calatrava models (Ref. 6127G-010 and 7127G-010). Discount replica watches\n200-meter water resistance, +/- 10-second monthly accuracy, five-day power reserve, ceramic bezel and a dial reminiscent of the dynamic undulations of ocean waves, all wrapped in “high-strength titanium”: Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver The SLGA023 watch really seems to have it all, and we checked it out for ourselves at Watches & Wonders 2023 to see how it fares in the metal.\nIn 2020, Grand Seiko launched the SLGH002, a limited-edition timepiece powered by the next-generation caliber 9SA5, and a new design language now called Evolution 9 Style. As Grand Seiko explains: “The goal of Evolution 9 is to take the best elements of Grand Seiko’s design and improve upon it in a way that respects the brand’s history and embraces the future.” Its designer, Kiyotaka Sakai, started working on it in 2017 Develop this new design code and turn the clock back to 1967, back to the original epic 44GS. Like last year, 2023 will also expand the collection with more sporty styles, Sakai added: “I see no reason why we can’t use the Evolution 9 Style approach, which is the pointer and pointer approach and the lower gravity in the center, in the The same is true in sports watches.\nThe 44GS from 1967 was a rather unremarkable watch – until you saw the shape. It’s as angular, cool, and distinctive as Darth Vader’s helmet, and frankly, many Grand Seiko watches from the past decade have shown a similar approach to case profile design, well before the Evolution 9 Appear. That said, the concept of the Evolution 9 is not just for a single mid-century reference, but also for more contemporary pieces (both formal and sporty). Nonetheless, Grand Seiko seems excited about the “Evo 9” case style, which features arched quarters, pronounced crown protection and faceted treatment with flat brushed upper elements and distortion-free mirrored lugs on the top and sides .\nWhile Grand Seiko prices have been rising over the years—nearly doubling in some cases in the past five years—the quality and sophistication of the Grand Seiko Zaratsu case finishing can hardly match that of the competition, Even over the $10,000 mark. Oddly enough, the bracelet finish is not always the same, as the brand more frequently opts for full brushed bracelets without any polished links, not even the narrow links on either side of the center link. These may seem more technical and purposeful, but, when seen in metal, they rarely, if ever, match the sophistication of the watch heads, which feature smooth ceramic bezels, polished Bezel profile, crown and lug bevels. The SLGA023 is in this configuration, and we can’t help but think a little more bling on the bracelet would have been nice.\nThe dial of the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is as much a piece of jewelry as it is a functional part, like its case. Japan’s coastal waters are influenced by the Kuroshio Current, one of the world’s major ocean currents, and the nutrient-rich waters of the Oyashio form one of the most diverse marine areas in the world. It is the dynamic ebb and flow of these ocean currents that the Ushio dial pattern expresses – ushio means tide in Japanese (which is also a name). Grand Seiko has been mastering these crease dials for years – think fan favorites Birch and Snowflake, or the gorgeous Shosho – but with its softer, less processed and more natural patterns, this might just be the best yet one of.\nThe hands and hour markers of the SLGA023 are coated with LumiBrite, one of the brightest and therefore most interesting luminescent paints used on watches today. The hands are shaped differently, making them easier to distinguish and read, while the hour markers are applied and stand quite high from the plane of the dial, giving this dial its own high-end look. The high-strength titanium bezel is very wide, with blue ceramic inserts inside, and some pretty serious cutouts around its perimeter for a better grip. Only dots are illuminated on the bezel, the rest of the markings are white.\nOn the wrist, the SLGA023 is big — probably too big, unless you have really wide wrists. Measuring 43.8mm wide, 51.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.8mm thick, the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is a chunky dive replica best watches. A decade or more ago, few people would have rolled their eyes at hearing those measurements, but, with ushio taking the big watch trend, Grand Seiko may hope to start rolling out more compact dive watches soon.\nOn the plus side, the SLGA023 uses all that real estate to pack some serious tech, and is actually some of the best in its class. The Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Ushio Diver SLGA023 is powered by a 9RA5 Spring Drive movement – to learn everything you need to know about Spring Drive’s incredible history and performance, read my post on the subject here authoritative article. The 9RA5 is the latest major development in this technology and the most powerful Spring Drive base movement to date. It is 0.8mm thinner than the 9R6 series (down from 4.2mm to just 3.4mm), but offers an extended 5-day power reserve and features an indicator at 9 o’clock on the dial. Grand Seiko claims that its one-piece center bridge gives it “significantly greater durability and higher transmission efficiency,” and that it still boasts an accuracy of +/-10 seconds per month (also known as the daily maximum tolerance +/-0.5 seconds) per day). Unfortunately, the SLGA023 comes with a solid bottom cover, so you can’t see the 9RA5 inside.\nA stunning dial, a beautiful titanium case, and one of the most innovative and high-performance spring-driven movements is exactly what we’ve come to expect from a Grand Seiko. SLGA023 meets all these requirements, but still has some shortcomings. While the market for large dive cheap men watches is still huge, we’d like to see Grand Seiko shift its focus to more compact and therefore less bulky ways to enjoy all this unfiltered horological greatness.\nFor centuries, the tourbillon has been at the forefront of complex craftsmanship in watchmaking. Rotating on a plane, it attracts the attention of countless people, but the tourbillon has never broken through the limit of dimensions. However, the Astronomia celestial body series brought by Jacob & Co. has made a revolutionary breakthrough, making the plane tourbillon three-dimensional, allowing it to rotate and rotate in three directions. This multi-axis tourbillon undoubtedly makes the timepiece more accurate, and it is like a cosmic creature floating on the wrist, which brings infinite shock.\nOrigin, three-axis tourbillon Jacob Alebo, founder of Jacob & Co., had no interest in following the example of tourbillons of other brands, so he chose the flying tourbillon as the initial creative starting point and revolutionized the tradition of the watchmaking industry. Launch of the Astronomia watch with an unprecedented gravitational three-axis tourbillon.\nThe Jacob & Co. Astronomia has four “satellite” arms that make one revolution around the dial every 10 minutes.\nThe first of the four arms is connected to the three-axis tourbillon, which rotates in 60 seconds on the first axis, two and a half minutes on the second axis, and circles the dial in 10 minutes on the third axis.\nThe second “satellite” is actually a 288-faceted Jack & Bowie exclusive cut diamond that rotates on its axis in 30 seconds and circles the dial in 10 minutes. The diamonds are cut and shaped by hand, and each diamond has 288 individual facets. The exclusive cut diamonds used in the Astronomia series watch need to guarantee their roundness and weight with the “satellites” attached to the other three arms (time display, three-axis tourbillon, magnesium globe) Keep the weight consistent, if there is any discrepancy, it will be declared scrapped. This exclusive Jack & Bao cut diamond takes two weeks of dedicated effort to create one, absolutely meticulous work.\nThe third “satellite”, directly opposite the tourbillon, is the time display, which circles the dial every 10 minutes. This was another challenge for the designers, engineers and watchmakers at Jacob & Co. to make the time display sub-dial rotate around the watch and rotate at the same time. If the 12/6 o’clock position is not correct, the It will greatly increase the difficulty of reading time for people. In order to solve this problem, Jake & Bao designed a unique patented differential transmission system to ensure that when the time display disk rotates around the dial, its 12/6 o’clock position is always facing the watch holder.\nThe fourth “satellite” is a miniature magnesia spray-painted earth, which rotates in 30 seconds and takes 10 minutes to circle the dial.\nThe three-axis tourbillon rotates non-stop around the dial, so watchmakers need to keep the weight of each tourbillon accurate, otherwise it will affect several other arms of the Astronomia. Although the three-axis tourbillon of the Astronomia series is very complicated to manufacture, it is definitely a visual feast, and it is also one of the many reasons why the Jacob & Co. Jackpot watch is unique in the world of watches.\nSee-through, unique “transparent” case The eye-catching rare metal and artificial sapphire crystal case shows everything incisively and vividly, and the crystal case of each replica watch Review is handcrafted. Usually flat man-made sapphire crystals are simple to process and can be manufactured in batches by machines that cannot handle the curved domed sapphire crystals of the Astronomia series. The sapphire crystal cases used by Jacob & Co. typically take several weeks to manufacture, using special equipment and tools to complete.\nAt the same time, the team of designers and engineers at Jacob & Co. Jake Bao felt that the traditional crown would not match the clean and clear lines of such a transparent case, and that the crown tucked into the movement would prevent the watch from connecting the four ” satellite” arm. Therefore, the crown for time adjustment and winding has been moved to the back of the case, and the watch has two semi-circular crowns that can be lifted, making the winding and time adjustment of the Astronomia Tourbillon watch clear and simple.\nThe unpretentious custom-made art watch The basic Astronomia watch is equipped with a bottom dial made of aventurine stone, with four “satellites” rotating above it. Looking like a night sky full of stars, this texture is definitely the best complement to your “solar system on your wrist”. The customizability of the bottom dial has spawned many artistic styles and top luxury playful works for this series.\nIn the 18K gold and sapphire crystal case of the Celestial Tourbillon, a 3D hand-embossed tiger in white gold comes to life. Hand engraving on 18K gold is a great challenge, but Jacob & Co.’s master carver is beyond imagination. A tiger pattern usually takes months to craft, and even the smallest mistakes can lead to failure. A master artist’s work requires constant concentration to complete.\nThe dragon engraved in 18K rose gold embodies the ultimate details, which requires three months of dedication and hard work by the engraver to present such an auspicious dragon in 18K gold, and then requires exquisite polishing and polishing. Painters complete all the details on the scales: the teeth, the tongue and, of course, the finishing touches.\nThe three apes are hand-carved in 18K rose gold, and they cover their eyes, ears and mouth with their hands, representing not seeing, not listening, and not speaking. Inspired by a common Japanese philosophy of life, it reminds people to stay away from right and wrong. Masters of art dedicated to haute complication watchmaking have reproduced these ape statues, handcrafted from 18K rose gold, each with a different look. Despite the intricate and time-consuming carving process, the final product is lifelike and highly symbolic. Lifelike and vivid.\nA great success for the realistic sculpture – the spider’s body rests on four satellites, which needs to be light enough not to interfere with the movement of the movement. The skeleton it carries is made of titanium alloy and platinum wire, while the spider itself is made of duck feathers. The realism presented by this surreal sculpture is enough to make your heart beat.\nThe ultimate luxury jewelry watch Jacob & Co. Jack & Bao founder, Mr. Jacob Alebo, has an extraordinary understanding of luxury. In 2001, Jacob & Co. Jack Bao began to transform and create watches, but at the same time, he continued to be active in the field of high jewelry. Precious gems and ingenious inlay art make the brand outstanding in the customization service of gemstone watches, which is also the field that Jake & Bao is good at. All gemstones are carefully selected in terms of quality, volume, color, brightness, etc. Only those gemstones that meet the brand’s strict selection standards and quality control will be used for manual setting.\nSo we can see that the advanced watchmaking technology of the Astronomia celestial body series is naturally matched with the gorgeous and eye-catching high-end jewelry craftsmanship.\nJackpot cut diamonds are striking enough on their own. The raw material must be at least 2 carats, and the excess part of the rough stone is removed with a superb cutting process to form a perfectly symmetrical diamond with 288 facets. This is definitely an excellent demonstration of the rich experience and unparalleled professionalism of gem-working technicians.\nThe gem-set craftsmanship watch of Jacob & Co. Jake Bao celestial body series high jewelry watch shows Jake Bao’s extraordinary craftsmanship, many inspirations and design elements, showing the charming style in each gem, and the charming machine. The core collocation sets off the charm and complements each other.\nI am happy to announce the Zenith Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip”, which is a collaborative version inspired by the El Primero G383 in the disco era, but with a lot of redesigned luminous-the dial is disco-style at night and during the day.\nBrief background Zenith is a brand that appeals to me on an intellectual level because of its historical significance for its chronographs and chronographs, but also on a personal level, simply because the watches produced by the brand are both attractive and affordable. So working with Zenith is a breeze for me-because it means I can create my fantasy El Primero.\nOne of my favorite Zenith vintage watches is the G383. This is a truly stylish watch, and its design is undoubtedly the style of the late 1960s and 1970s-the dial is on the top, a real disco.\nBut one-on-one retro remakes have never interested me (and I don’t like the small lugs of the G383). So in early 2020, I got in touch with Romain Marietta, Zenith’s product development director, and we spent a few months together to perfect the concept and create the Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip”.\nAt the same time, poker chips will be easier to obtain than our past version. It is as affordable as the usual price of Zenith watches-in fact, its cost is only 10% higher than the Chronomaster Revival A386 steel watch-but it will also be more widely available.\nUnlike our Habring 2 and Kudoke SJX versions which are only available on SJX watches and sold out almost immediately, poker chips are the result of a collaboration between us and Zenith. It is still a limited edition, but it will also be available in Zenith boutiques, after our initial exclusive sales period-click here to express interest.\n“Poker Chips” Like our past version, poker chips are considered easily recognizable as replica Zenith, but it is very different from the other designs of the brand—a great idea is extracted from history and reimagined for today.\nTherefore, the classic 38mm El Primero case from 1969 is retained, but it uses micro-blasted titanium for the first time (other models with the same case are made of steel).\nSimilarly, the dial design can be traced back to the earliest stages of El Primero. G383 was launched in 1969 with a crazy fan-shaped layout in black, white and gold, reminiscent of poker chips.\nThe unique style among the vintage El Primero models is also very rare-only about 200 units have been produced-the G383 is relatively unknown today, perhaps because the luxurious appearance is not suitable for everyone, especially its unusual lugs.\nReinterpretation Modern Poker Chip transforms the aesthetics of the original work into something eye-catching with a modern style, but once you recognize the historical inspiration, the taste of the disco era becomes obvious.\nThe dial is dark gray, divided into matte black parts, with a Super-Luminova luminous pattern on the top, which reproduces the layout of the retro original-but with luminous.\nThanks to the generous Super-Luminova luminous on the dial, the “Poker Chips” pattern is obvious both day and night-although I do think it is more noticeable in the dark.\nIn order to play the best effect at night, this watch is also equipped with an extra strap soaked with Super-Luminova luminous material to make the whole strap glow. Credit for the luminous strap goes to Romain and his team.\nBecause the dial is too cool, the case is limited, while retaining the retro classic style. Like the Chronomaster Revival model and the vintage El Primero A386, this case has a 38mm compact design, but minimalism.\nIt is a micro-sandblasted titanium metal that gives the case a fine dark gray finish, and then the coating enhances its wear resistance and helps prevent fingerprints from showing.\nInside the case is the El Primero 400, which is basically the same movement as the G383 and all other El Primero models from 1969.\nZenith had already launched a new version of the El Primero movement when it started this project last year, so you can choose the movement. We decided to use the original El Primero for two reasons.\nThe fact is that as the latest version of the movement becomes more popular throughout the Zenith series, I expect the original El Primero will gradually become less common. The second is to reimagine the aesthetics of vintage watches but retain the mild irony of the same movement.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Jennifer Lewis from the University of Illinois and her team have developed a novel way to ‘print’ complex three-dimensional shapes. They used flat sheets of titanium hydride ink, and folded them.\nSolid objects can be ‘printed’ by laying out each layer of ink in precise sequence. The inks contain metal, plastic or ceramic particles. When the desired shape is reached, the liquid ink is evaporated, leaving the particles annealed into a solid structure. Unfortunately, if too many layers are added, the entire structure can start to sag or even collapse. Lewis and her colleagues decided to start with a flat sheet of ink and fold it into the desired shape.\nThese structures were folded from flat sheets of direct-printed titanium hydride ink, a new technique pioneered by University of Illinois researchers.\nCredit: Bok Yoep Ahn (a postdoctoral researcher in the Lewis lab).\nThis required some fiddling to get the right ink consistency. Some ink solvents dry too quickly, making the sheets too brittle for consecutive folds. Other solvents don’t dry quickly enough, allowing the structures to fall apart. A happy medium left the sheets pliable enough to fold, but stiff enough to hold their shape throughout the folding and annealing process.\nThe ability to make tiny precise objects would have many uses, particularly in medicine and electronics.To see a slideshow of some of the printed origami creations, look here.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "MLZ is a cooperation between:> Technische Universität München> Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon > Forschungszentrum Jülich\nMLZ is a member of:\nMLZ on social media:\nMaster of contactless temperature measurements\nThinking about the University Contact Fair (Hochschulkontaktmesse, HOKO) makes Osama Deeb feel like he’s been transported back by two years. He was roaming the fair looking for a working student position to complement his master’s degree. Now two years later, the Advanced Materials Group’s testing apparatus has a new temperature sensor and Osama Deeb a master’s degree in his pocket.\nAmong the many booths in the building at Munich University of Applied Sciences, the FRM II booth must have particularly caught the eye of Osama Deeb, an engineering student from Jordan. After a detailed conversation with engineer Milan Antic, he was contacted two weeks later by Dr. Ralph Gilles, head of the Advanced Materials Group at MLZ: the CV he had submitted was convincing and he could start in January by initially optimizing a testing apparatus with which metal alloys are tested under extreme conditions.\n“Working with Osama Deeb was a real success story”\n“Before HOKO, I had no idea what the Research Neutron Source was,” says Osama Deeb today with a satisfied smile. Rightly so, because the encounter at HOKO not only got him the working student position, but also his master’s thesis. “Working with Osama Deeb was a real success story,” says Ralph Gilles. “After his initial experience with the testing apparatus, he approached us with his own project idea, which he fully implemented from the idea to the final product,” he continues proudly. The project is a contactless temperature measurement system for the Group’s testing apparatus. In it, metal alloys are tested for their stability and must therefore be exposed to extreme conditions. The sample reaches temperatures of up to 1200°C. It goes without saying that a normal thermometer cannot simply be held on to it. Instead, Osama Deeb had the idea of determining the temperature from the color of the sample’s glow.\nGroup picture of the Advanced Materials Group with Osama Deeb (2.f.l.), Ralph Gilles (r.) und Frank Kümmel (3.f.l.). © FRM II/ TUM\nInterdisciplinarity enriches research\n“I was looking for a project for my master’s thesis, and Ralph and his colleague Frank Kümmel were very encouraging. In general, the atmosphere in the group was very inspiring and I always received valuable help,” says Osama Deeb. Frank Kümmel also praises his student: “His great strength was the interdisciplinary approach he took.” That’s because Osama Deeb’s background is in micro- and nanotechnology, which he started at Munich University of Applied Sciences in 2019 as a master’s student. He had done his bachelor’s degree at the German-Jordanian University in Amman in mechatronics and mechanical engineering. Part of the degree is a year abroad in Germany of which one semester is for lectures and a second for an internship. “I wanted to come to Germany for a long time, because for me it is the country of engineers and I really wanted to learn how engineering companies work here,” he says. With this intercultural understanding of his subject, he applied for the master’s degree in Munich and ultimately enriched his working group at FRM II.\nDouble culture shock: Germany and working in science\n“This was my first time in Germany, and I have to admit that despite preparation, I experienced culture shock,” he says with a laugh. “For example, social life here is a lot more closed off than in Jordan. And on the other hand, I was very impressed by the huge folk festivals. I’ve never experienced anything like that before,” he continues.\nOsama Deeb holding proudly his creation in his hand. In the background the testing apparatus of the Advanced Materials Group. © Reiner Müller / FRM II, TUM\nHe experienced a kind of second culture shock at FRM II. So far, he had gained experience in industry through internships at Leifheit and Webasto. As a scientific institution, FRM II stands in a special position. Did he notice any differences in the way of working compared to industry? “Definitely! In industry, everything is much more rushed with deadlines and you work in a very restricted way. At FRM II, I didn’t feel that way, especially when it comes to trying out new things. I really liked that.”\nWith his master’s degree in his pocket, Osama Deeb is very confident about the future. He wants to stay in Germany; for him, this is the way to fulfill his destiny as an engineer. “The technical student position at the Research Neutron Source got me many job interviews in the first place,” he explains. “I was working with cutting-edge technology, and that’s in high demand.”\nHOKO will be held again between Nov. 2 and 4 – for the second time in digital format. FRM II will also be represented there again with nearly 30 working student positions, internships, and student research projects. Perhaps Osama Deeb will also click through the fair again and meet his next employer.\nNewsmeldung about HOKO 2019:\nNewsmeldung about heat testing of alloys:\nLink to the Website of the Hochschulkontaktmesse:\nLink to Advanced Materials Group:\nPresse- und Öffentlichkeits-\narbeit FRM II", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Our client is one of the world’s largest producer of polymers and plastics. The goal of the assignment was to benchmark the production process that was optimized over a span of 25 years and provide improvements for a new production plant. The benchmarking study included primary monomer production process that was generating more than $500 million in annual revenue. Detailed laboratory and plant data were reviewed along with the chemical kinetic model. Also, process details of the existing plant were provided.\nOur team first began by reviewing kinetic and thermodynamic data. Thermodynamic property model parameters were improved based on available vapor – liquid – liquid equilibrium data. The existing kinetic model had a large number of independent parameters and did not include several key parameters. A new kinetic model was developed that included fewer number of variables and at the same time take into account important variables that were missed. Reactor design was performed along with the design of distillation-based separation system. The benchmarking and retrofit study included generating process options, design followed by cost estimation. Process alternatives were then evaluated for capital and operating costs and compared to the base case.\nMultiple process alternatives were identified with close to 30% reduction in capital and operating cost. One interesting outcome was that the base case could be operated with existing equipment but with new operating parameters to produce 30% more product and no additional energy cost for the increased production. Several patents were filed and granted to the Client based on this work.\nJoin our mailing list to get the latest news & events.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "In the beginning there was light and all was good.......\nWell up until the point when I removed the cam belt to change it for a nice shiny new one. The crankshaft went clunk, dunk, thug, thought that was a little strange, pretty sure it shouldn't be making that noise )-: My heart sank as I suddenly saw money oozing from the galleries and seals of the engine.\nWhen I had stopped crying I decided that action would really need to be taken and find out what needs to be done. I checked the endfloat and it was about 4mm, when it should be 0.08-0.2mm..... so err slightly off. I Knew that the thrust washers had come off, but thought that even with them out this was a little excessive. Initial plan would be to see what was lurking under the dry sump and make a decision from there. So I started stripping off all the ancillaries that I had so lovingly put on just days before. Well at least it was all nice and clean and the bolts weren't rusty and seized, so didn't take too long to remove the plenum and carbs. Even with only those off I felt like I was making immediate progress. Noticed that even though the carbs were cleaned and polished the aluminum had already started to have white corrosion marks on, not good, I'll have to address that when I reinstall.\nAs it was getting cold and late I thought I'd call it a day and attack the engine in the morning.\nOver night I had been thinking more about it, and realising there and then that this wasn't going to be a quick job, decided to take the engine indoors to my workshop where I can work on it in relative warmth and most importantly the dry, over the winter. This was no mean feat as I had to juggle about a lot of stuff in order to make enough working room around the engine. Why is it that there's never enough storage space?\nEngine now in the dry I could attack it with zeal, external oil pump was first to go, with about 8 x M6 nuts holding it on, no problem at all, I suppose that all that oil had kept all the nuts nicely protected and lubricated. Very elaborate seal underneath though, it'll have to be an original seal to replace it as I don't fancy cutting that out of the gasket paper. On later internal inspection I found that the annulus and rotor were all good, this was a major plus as these parts are really really rare to get hold of.\nWhipped the engine over and WD-40'd all fixings that I could see, then went for a cuppa tea. Refreshed and bolts readily soaked, started removing the lower ones on the sump, working my way from the centre outwards, some where extremely tough to get going....a bigger lever was needed. Then removed the smaller nuts around the edge of the casting, these were a b*gger because the casting itself wraps around the nut so tightly that you can only just get a socket on only half the top of the nut. There wasn't a hope in hell of getting any spanner on it either. Felt like this could have been the turning point for me, if I'd struggled too much and either stripped the threads or the outer edges, I'd probably had thrown my tools down in a strop and paid someone to finish the job for me. End seals were then removed, well partly, the cam belt end wasn't going to come off without a special tool that I'd have to make up, so I let it dangle there in the mean time and proceeded onwards.\nNarrowly escaping the major strop and excessive output of cashflow paying someone to do this engine rebuild for me, I got all the nuts off. Now for teasing the aluminum casting off the long studs, which all in all took about 1 hour. Rubber mallet and casting now severely beaten into submission and with the lower half of the crank casing on the work bench, I inspected the innards like a surgeon and he's poorly patient. As suspected the thrust washers had indeed come out, but were whole, thought they may have been mushed into a billion pieces, good sign. But then there was this additional ring that had been broken, pretty sure that that wasn't supposed to be there. Later investigation on the LF and eyeing it up against the crank in the daylight showed that is was part of the casting of the crankshaft, which had cracked in a perfect circle around the main bearing. Cause was that the number 5 main bearing wasn't getting enough oil from the reworked chamfer on the crank case casting. The PO didn't line up the Vee with the Chamfer so it was starved of all oil, not good for something that was rotating that quickly against another metal object. Took the parts and engine up to Lotusbits for an expert assessment and advice.\nAlthough I knew the crank was toast, I thought that the rest would be ok to put back, considering the pistons were new and beautifully forged. However there was a large amount of float on the pins in the piston, so a new set of Mahle forged pistons were purchased along with seal set and rings. looks like this is turning into a full rebuild /-: Have to keep reminding myself that this is a preservation project to keep our heritage on the road. It turns out that the dry sump that I have is the 1 in 100 that was bored out to 0.015\", which generally means that because the main bearings are as rare as hens teeth that the sump is now a lovely oily door stop. Only two options available to me:\n1. Buy a wet sump engine.\n2. Skim the top off the original lower crank casing and line bore back to standard with a 2nd hand upper casting already at standard size.\nI wasn't liking any of these options, first one would not only take a vast amount of money out of my pocket it would also depreciate the dry sump engine car.\nSo like most OCD Lotus Esprit drivers I started trawling the internet adamant that I could get the holy grail of bearings to fit my car. By hook or by crook I will find some til my dying day!!!!!!!!!\nUpdate to this....\nAmazing I found some bearings +0.015\" ....yay!!!!\nI got a mate to send them to me ....yay!!!!\nHaven't received them yet and this is 3 days after being posted 1st class .....boo!!!!!\nI'm now quietly crying in the corner of my house while I write this ?\nFingers are still crossed that they turn up, could be the Black Friday post is a little slow this week....\nUpdate to the Update\nBearings have now turned up, they were sat safe and sound in the post office waiting for collection, only problem was that they didn't tell me they were there!! Good old PO, anyway I nearly keeled over when I opened the box and saw the gleaming bearings glinting in the sunshine. My daughter thought I'd gone a little loopy when I started doing a little jig on the pavement. However she benefited from my unusually generous behaviour by receiving a big chocolate bar from the newsagents. My happiness was alas short lived though, when one of the really really rare bearings, as opposed to the really rare bearings, was scuffed.....oh man, from ecstasy to misery in a few short minutes. I'm not sure I can take this sort of feeling, my constitution isn't used to these roller coaster emotions. Phoning back Phil, who I'd originally bought the bearings from bared no fruit, apart from a sharp discussion about not wanting to return the money to me for supplying a faulty bearing. Eventually all was sorted and my task for looking for another one started out in earnest. Thanks to this forum and in particular JerryS for pointing me in the right direction it turns out these bearings weren't as rare as I was led to believe, apparently they were still available at source, so I got them to send another one through. It just goes to show that when someone gives you advice on something, it's sometimes worth doing the donkey work to find out for yourself!\nNext installment will be the building of the engine which I will start a new blog for.......\nOne last note, a friend of mine keeps reminding me that so many people generally give up on their restoration, for the very same reason, too much stress and emotional turmoil that it's difficult to take on a constant basis. I think everything had gone so well for me up to this point I'd fooled myself into thinking it would continue on this vein, and when it went a little south, I began to wobble slightly. I feel I'm now over a hurdle and stronger for it.....bring it on!", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Servo Magazine ( January 2017 )\nNOMAD: The Evolution of an Autonomous Robot\nThis is an update to my March 2015 review of the Nomad chassis kit from ServoCity. The project is on-going, and I've learned a lot along the way. As usual, I got myself in way over my head. Fortunately, through persistence and a little help from time to time, I've made some real progress. I really have enjoyed working with this kit and modifying it with other parts from the Actobotics® line. At the end of my initial review, I declared it a very robust chassis that would be great for use in Magellan competitions.\nWhen last we saw Nomad, it looked like this.\nThe original plan was to use an old Android phone as the main processor, interfaced with an Arduino to collect sensor data and communicate with the motor controller. In the end, I decided not to use the phone. I had started to read about the Robot Operating System (ROS): a middleware package for controlling robots. What enticed me about ROS was the fact that it is open source, used by researchers and companies around the world, and a lot — if not all — of the functionality I wanted to use was already written.\nIn fact, it was already written by people a lot smarter and with a lot more experience than I have. Whereas there are builds of ROS for Android, at the time they were rather unstable and seeing as the learning curve was already pretty steep, I decided to find a more suitable platform for what I was now calling the Nomad Project.\nFast forward a few months when a friend from The Robot Group in Austin, TX was divesting himself of parts he’d been collecting. Among them was an Intel Edison with the Arduino compatible breakout board. I had heard some great things about the Edison board; it was pretty fast, ran on Linux, and it had that Arduino compatible breakout board. It was a perfect candidate for this project. Or, so I thought.\nMy goal was to get ROS installed on the Edison board and load a simple program that would allow me to control Nomad with a wireless game controller. I had developed the program for another platform I put together as a test/learning system called BARB (Big Autonomous Robotic Base). BARB was a 24” diameter circular robot built on a Power Wheels® drive train. It uses a laptop as its controller which allowed me to develop the test program that I wanted to port to Nomad.\nTo accommodate the addition of the Edison, I had to reconfigure Nomad. The battery came out of the box to make room for the electronics. With the battery out, I could lay the Roboclaw motor controller flat as opposed to mounted on the side. I created a system of plates for mounting the electronics using acrylic cut on the laser cutter at ATX Hackerspace and offsets. This allows me to remove the electronics as one unit. I often refer to this as the “stack.” I replaced the 12V SLA brick with an 11.4V 3s LiPo battery pack that I could mount in the aluminum channel from the kit.\nNomad with the Intel Edison board and sensor shield.\nThe Edison runs on a version of Linux called Yocto, which I had never heard of before. ROS, however, is built to operate with Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives. There was not an install path for Yocto Linux. However, there was some success using UbiLinux which is, supposedly, a light version of Ubuntu. So, I installed UbiLinux on the Edison and then ROS applying the same build instructions used for the Raspberry Pi. The installation was successful and I had ROS running.\nHowever, when I went to install the test program, I could not get the gamepad to work. It turns out the joystick drivers are not in UbiLinux. On top of that, the package needed to install the drivers was not part of UbiLinux. With no community support for that application and after spending two weeks looking for answers that simply didn’t exist, I abandoned the Edison board.\nWhat did have a strong and growing community was the Raspberry Pi. I happened to have a couple of model B+s on hand. I knew I could get the test code to run on the Pi since I had just done it on a project for some film makers in San Antonio.\nTo simplify the I/O with the sensors, etc., I decided to also include an Arduino Mega. There were several reasons for this, not the least of which was the separation of signal processing from the main program. I would be able to manage the sensors on the Arduino and just send the consolidated information as a serial stream to the Pis. With this, the stack took on a new form with the Roboclaw on the bottom, followed by two Pis, and the Arduino with a sensor shield on top. It was also at this point I decided to add an Xbox Kinect for vision.\nRoboclaw at the bottom of the \"stack.”\nAt some point, I was further inspired by Actobotics’ Mantis platform. In particular, I was enamored by the independent suspension which, of course, Nomad had to have. So, I spoke to the good folks at ServoCity and soon received the parts for the conversion.\nThe idea behind the two Raspberry Pis was to — again — split the processing. Vision processing is intensive, as is navigation. With two boards, I could dedicate one to processing the input from the Kinect and the other to navigation, or as I learned during this process, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping).\nROS installed nicely and I was able to get the test program running without a hitch. At that point, I started adding the sensors. Using a package for ROS called ROSSerial, I was able to read the PING))) sensors through the Arduino. These were configured to act as a bumper to avoid any obstacles the Kinect may have missed. The Kinect itself, however, proved a bigger challenge. I could simply not get the drivers to work. Others had great success with this, but at the time I was not one of them.\nBy now, I was a year into the project. I was trying to get the Kinect working right up to the next big show for The Robot Group: South by Southwest (SXSW). For those of you who aren’t familiar with SXSW, it is a large festival in Austin, broken into three parts: interactive, film, and music. Interactive is all about new technologies. As part of Interactive, there is a show called Create which is free and open to the public. The Robot Group had a sizable display there that year, and I really wanted to be able to show off Nomad with working sensors and collecting vision information from the Kinect. Alas, it was not to be.\nHowever, directly across from our booth was one for Nvidia: the makers of video cards. Nvidia has an embedded system called the Jetson and they had just come out with their newest version: the TX1. The Jetson TX1 runs their latest Tegra processor which consists of a 64-bit quad core ARM processor and 256 Cuda GPU cores. This setup allows for massive parallel processing. In short, this little board is a video processing powerhouse.\nIn their booth, they were demonstrating how their Jetson TX1 could be incorporated into a robot with a stereo camera system to perform SLAM activities. To take it a step further — thanks to the Cuda cores — they were able to build a neural network on the robot so it would learn as it went. My amateur hobby robotics mind was blown. This was one of those, “stop talking and take my money” moments. The engineer that was there gave me his contact information should I have any questions and directed me to their embedded developer page.\nTwo weeks later, my Jetson TX1 Evaluation Kit arrived in the mail.\nNvidia Jetson TX1 unboxing.\nA week after that, the Zed stereo camera system from StereoLabs was on my porch. The evaluation kit is significantly larger than the Raspberry Pi, which meant yet another reconfiguring of the chassis. This time, I had to build a larger box in which to house the Jetson and associated electronics. While I was at it, I added dedicated space for the power switch, an external Ethernet port, power jack, HDMI port, and two cooling fans. For the Zed camera, I also ordered a nice pan/tilt assembly from ServoCity.\nNew larger box.\nAt this point, I have to say how thankful I am to have found the local hacker space here in Austin. This place has been an amazing resource for building Nomad and so many other projects. Between the laser cutters, 3D printers, and all of the other tools available here, there is very little that can’t be done. We’re even adding a CNC plasma cutter. So, once the design is finalized, I might even cut a new chassis altogether out of aluminum. And it’s not just the tools. The people and talent is fantastic.\nCutting the new box on the laser.\nNomad’s new box, fresh off the laser cutter.\nWithout some of the expertise from the ATX Hackerspace, I don’t know that Nomad would have made it anywhere near as far as it has. If you haven’t already availed yourself of your local maker or hacker space, do so. You will be astounded at what you can get done.\nPrepping the Jetson\nWith the majority of the physical build done (because, let’s face it, you’re never really 100% done with any part of a project like this), it was time to get the OS and software started. Nvidia provides a pre-assembled package of OS, drivers, and software called Jetpack. This package is optimized by the engineers and developers for this board. The installation for someone new to this process is not necessarily a straightforward one. There were some obstacles I had to work around that weren’t obvious. Hopefully, my experiences will help you avoid some of the same hurdles. These issues started right at the beginning ...\nInitial Hardware Problems\nRight at the beginning, I was having challenges in just seeing what was happening. When I received my TX1, it wasn’t blank. There was an initial OS installed. I didn’t play around with it enough to see if a version of Jetpack was already Flashed. I wanted to get it updated quickly to make sure it had all of the proper drivers. So, I tried to connect the board to a spare monitor I had lying about. The monitor did not have an HDMI input which is needed for connecting to the Jetson. Using an HDMI to DVI adapter, I connected the monitor to the TX1 with no results.\nIt turns out the HDMI out from the Jetson is not compatible with converters — at least not natively. So, next I tried connecting it to a television with an HDMI input. This time, I was able to get video, but it was cropped around all the edges significantly. I was unable to see the first five or six characters of the text that was streaming during bootup.\nThe issues with the converter and the television led to my first unexpected expense: a new monitor with HDMI input. Fortunately, Fry’s had one on sale. It was a little larger than I was hoping for, but it was less than $100, so I went ahead and bought it. While I was there, I went ahead and picked up a USB3 hub knowing I would need it for use with the Zed camera later. With the new monitor, I was able to see the output properly.\nWhile on the topic of hardware issues, there is also the matter of the keyboard/mouse. This is probably not related to the actual install since it was not an issue with the re-Flash (more on that later). The Logitech wireless keyboard/touchpad did not initially work with the board. I had to use a wired mouse and keyboard through the aforementioned USB hub. So, something to keep in mind.\nJetpack is not installed directly onto the Jetson board. It is actually installed through another host machine onto the TX1. To install Jetpack, you will need to do so from a full independent installation of Ubuntu 14.04. And by independent I mean you can’t install it from a VM (virtual machine). It has to be an actual machine. I spent several hours trying to get it to run within a VM, including installing Virtualbox on my Windows 10 machine but, in the end, it was nothing but frustration.\nInstalling the Jetson Jetpack.\nSo, next I turned to my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04. There I had many of the same frustrations. I just could not get the installer to run. I put a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 onto the machine and had the same issue. It turns out the problem was me and my very poor understanding of Linux. In order to run the Jetpack installer, you have to precede the filename with a dot-slash ( ./ ) in the execute line.\nI am not going to go over the whole installation process here since it is well covered on several websites. The instructions I used are available at the URL listed below. However, there are some things you will need to know going into it:\n- You will need a developer account to download the package. These are free. Nvidia just wants to know who is accessing their files.\n- The Jetpack is not installed directly on the Jetson board. You will instead be installing the Jetpack on a host Ubuntu Linux 14.04 host system. In my case, I was using a laptop which I have set aside specifically for my robotics experiments and development.\n- As stated above, you cannot install Jetpack from a VM. For you Windows users, it’s a bit of a pain, but if you’re going to be playing around in this more advanced robotics space, you’re going to have to learn Linux anyway. Bite the bullet, get a cheap refurbished laptop, and install Ubuntu on it.\n- Be sure you are connecting both the host system and the Jetson board via Ethernet cable to the same router/network. Jetson installation will fail if you try to use Wi-Fi.\n- Make sure the version of Jetpack is compatible with your chosen hardware. You’re going to find — at least at the time of this writing — the newest bleeding-edge version may not have the driver and software support you need. I ended up having to roll back from JetPack 2.2 for L4T to JetPack 2.1 for L4T because 64-bit support just wasn’t where it needed to be. The latest version may have fixed this, but at the time it was an issue.\nDuring the setup, I ran into an issue where the host system could not find the Jetson on the network. Jetpack installation is a multi-stage process. Once it has Ubuntu installed, it will restart the board and attempt to connect to it via Ethernet. For some reason, on my first pass, the host failed to capture the IP for the Jetson. If this happens to you, reset the Jetson and boot it into the GUI. The user is “ubuntu” and the password is “ubuntu” by default. Once in, connect to your router as normal, then use:\n~$: sudo ifconfig\nto find your IP address. Back on the host machine, run the installation again. It will skip everything that was done and take you to the point it tried to connect to the Jetson.\nWhen the system fails to find the IP address, select to manually set it. This will bring up a new dialog box where you enter the target’s IP, user, and password. It may take a couple minutes to connect, so let it do what it’s going to do. Once it finds it, the installation will continue.\nNow, with all my warnings and life lessons out of the way, follow directions at http://docs.nvidia.com/jetpack-l4t/index.html#developertools/mobile/jetpack/l4t/2.2.1/jetpack_l4t_install.htm.\nThe next step in the process for Nomad is the installation of ROS. This installation is probably the most straightforward of any of them simply because you’re installing onto a full version of Ubuntu. Because the version of Ubuntu in this selected version of Jetpack is 14.04, I needed to install ROS Indigo. Like any other ROS install, make sure you match the version of ROS to your version of Linux. Each version is optimized to the most recent stable version of Ubuntu at the time it was released. Mismatching the versions will cause countless issues that can otherwise be avoided.\nThe Jetson platforms use ARM processors; therefore, you’ll need to install the appropriate version of ROS for ARM. The official instructions for doing so can be found on the official ROS.org wiki at http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/UbuntuARM. Again, I’m not going to list out all of the instructions here.\nFinally, I was in a position to load the test program I wrote so long ago for BARB and the earlier iteration of Nomad. The nice thing about getting familiar with and using ROS is how little code it actually takes to make something happen. All of this source code is available on GitHub at:\nThese are the pieces of custom code and the modified sample file from ION Motion Control that I'm using as a driver.\nThere are four modules needed to get Nomad driving, three of which are in the Git repository: roboclaw.py, nomad_control.py, and nomad_drive.py. The first is the custom driver script for the Roboclaw from the sample Python program provided by ION Motion Control: the makers of the Roboclaw motor controller. The second file (nomad_control.py) subscribes to the JoyCommand message of the Joy node and publishes the axes signals as a Twist message — which is the standard movement message used in ROS.\nLastly, nomad_drive.py is the node that interacts with the motor controller. It leverages the Roboclaw driver to send movement commands as well as read pertinent information provided by the driver, such as battery voltages, operating temperature, and any errors generated by the motor controller.\nThe fourth module is the standard joystick package. To get the joystick package installed for ROS, I followed the instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/joy/Tutorials/ConfiguringALinuxJoystick.\nTo get Nomad moving, I have to start up each of these nodes. Generally, you would put each node call into an ROS launch file and simply use roslaunch to start all of them at the same time. However, at the time of this writing, I have been experiencing some issues with nomad_drive.py starting up properly. While I diagnose the issue, I am starting each of the nodes separately. Each node has to be started in its own terminal window on the Jetson board, starting with the core processes:\n~$: rosrun joy joy_node\n~$: rosrun nomad nomad_control.py\n~$: rosrun nomad nomad_drive.py\nThe night I got Nomad configured, loaded, and running was our Robot Group meeting at ATX Hackerspace. I cannot express how good it felt to have Nomad driving around the classroom and shop there. Two years of build, rebuild, and rebuild again, and Nomad was alive and moving.\nNomad systems block diagram.\nOf course, like any project, once you have it working is when you start to find other issues. Right from the beginning, there were three issues that had to be addressed. The first was a physical issue; the wheels I was using were those from the original Nomad kit. These weren’t intended to support the 16 lb Nomad now weighed. The other two were electrical: There was too much pressure on the USB connector to the Roboclaw, and I had an intermittent power problem going to the Jetson board. Both of these issues resulted in the motor controller losing signal with the main board.\nWithout changing the profile of Nomad, I essentially have two solutions to the wheel problem. The first is to replace them with air filled rather than the standard foam filled tires. The other is to simply remove the foam insert and fill tires with expanding construction foam. Obviously, I went with the more eloquent and complicated air filled solution. I ordered bead lock hubs and air fill valves used in volleyballs.\nThe USB connection was an easy fix. I simply replaced the cable I was using with one that has a smaller plug end. The plug is no longer pressing against the side wall of the box and the pressure is released. The electrical problem is still plaguing me, however.\nMy initial thought was the barrel plug assembly was interfering with other components and was being knocked loose. The solution for this was simply moving things around a little bit. The offending component was the main power switch attached to one of the rear panels. Fortunately, I designed the panels to be flipped. So, the power switch is now on the other side of the box and there is no more interference with the barrel jack.\nIn the end, I have a pretty substantial hardware stack. At the root of everything is the Jetson TX1 board. Directly attached to that is the HDMI port, USB2 OTG cable, USB3 hub, and Ethernet, wireless, and Bluetooth connectivity. I may also add an SATA SSD for extra storage, though I could do the same thing with an SD card. The USB3 hub is connected to the Roboclaw, Zed camera system, and the Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. The USB2 OTG cable terminates in the dongle for the Logitech wireless gamepad. I discovered in a past project you cannot power your Arduino through an external source while connected to USB. So, the Arduino is connected to the Jetson board via the I/O pins on the Jetson.\nPower is supplied to Nomad using four 11.4V LiPo battery packs. These are broken into two banks: one for the motors and the other for all of the electronics. A 5V DC regulator is supplying extra power to the USB3 hub, and a second one supplies 6V to the Arduino’s sensor shield. Both circuits can be powered by an external power supply when Nomad is on the bench.\nOne of the issues that needs to be addressed is the power control. Allowing Nomad to go careening off out of control when there’s an interruption in communication between the main board and the motor controller is unacceptable.\nIn order to address this, I am building a power control and watchdog system using an Arduino Uno and a couple relay boards. The main switch will become a power selector, allowing me to choose to power Nomad by the onboard battery packs or through an external power supply. A second smaller switch will control the power to the Arduino Uno board. The Uno — when powered up — will systematically turn on each of the systems in Nomad — the last of which will be the Roboclaw.\nOnce power is applied to the main board, the Arduino Mega will be powered up and it will begin sending a signal to the Uno via connected pins. The pins will need to share a ground and will have a protective resistor on the jumper between them for protection. Once the Uno begins receiving this signal, it will turn on the motor controller. As long as the Uno receives the signal, the motor controller will remain powered. If serial connection is lost between the Mega and the main board, the signal will be stopped and the motor controller shut down.\nWhile the power control system is being built, other development will also continue. Next, I will be attaching the sensors to make sure I can capture signals from them. Then, I am anxious to get the Zed stereo camera powered and working. I am excited to pull image and point cloud data, and start working with navigation.\nTo assist in all of this, I am building a base station for Nomad. The base station consists of a laptop outfitted with a wireless hub. The wireless hub runs on five volts and less than one amp, so it can be powered by the laptop’s USB port. The plan is to bind Nomad to the wireless router and then share the Internet connection from the laptop to the hub. In that way, Nomad and the base station will always be connected to the same network and when I’m working off-site, I only have to connect the laptop to local Wi-Fi. It will also allow me to use remote desktop access on Nomad to work without having to set up a separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse.\nThe base station includes a box to elevate Nomad off the table while on the bench. This will allow me to test the entire system without worrying about the robot driving off the table. A 12V power supply is built into the bench box that can be used to power Nomad on the bench without using the batteries.

{"text": "Humidity is an important part of wood product design. Does anyone know what the average indoor humidity is for homes in the US? What effect does AC play if the home has a lot of indoor/outdoor traffic? How often do homes reach 70% humidity and above?\n(Architectural Woodworking Forum)\nFrom contributor F:\nIt depends a lot on your location. Michigan is severely different than Arizona, etc.\n“What effect does AC play if the home has a lot of indoor/outdoor traffic?”\nTo the best of my knowledge, air conditioning dehumidifies along with reducing the temperature. Given that the chart below was based on data from the early 1900's, I think it's safe to assume that air conditioning was not a factor. So, it would seem that buildings with air conditioning would have humidity levels lower then shown on the chart.\n“How often do homes reach 70% humidity and above?”\nI would think humidity levels of 70% are extremely rare (unless there's an indoor pool/hot-tub or something similar). In my own personal (and limited) experience, when humidity levels approach 60%, other issues start to come in to play - mold, for instance.\nYour question points indirectly to the issue of Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC), which is used to predict the moisture content (MC) of wood when it acclimates to a given humidity level. The values below indicate the EMC of wood at various humidity levels, and when used with the chart, the change in MC for a given piece of wood can be accurately predicted, and this change in MC can also be used to accurately predict the dimensional change in the width of the piece of wood.\nRH | MC\nIf you search the Knowledge Base using the term \"EMC humidity\" (without the quotes), you'll find quite a bit of information on this topic. The paragraph below also offers some information regarding humidity levels. This was taken from an article written by myself and Gene Wengert. If we're lucky, Gene will weigh in with his comments as well. I don't know of anybody else with as deep a knowledge of this topic then Gene.\nHomes in most of the U.S. that lack humidity control typically experience interior levels of humidity from 25% RH to 65% RH. This range of humidity will cause a 6% change in the MC of the wood. This change in MC will cause a 12\" wide maple board to change 1/4\". Exterior humidity levels range from 60% RH to 70% RH (lower in the SW, and higher near large bodies of water), and cause a 2% change in the MC of the wood. When material is installed that was delivered at an unacceptable MC, or the humidity range in the structure exceeds typical values, the amount of wood movement increases and can cause problems even in well design trim details. It's worth noting that panel material (plywood, MDF, composite materials) move at about 1/10th the rate of solid wood.\nAs for summer, AC plays havoc on the data because AC can extract moisture but is also lowers the ability for air to hold moisture. So air right before it leaves the duct would have around 100% humidity. I cannot get my head wrapped around how this plays into each other.\nIt plays absolute havoc with musical instruments, to the point that I refuse warranty coverage on mine unless the owner can keep it in the 40 to 70% area. A three foot wide 1/8th inch soundboard glued to the perimeter of a case can have sufficient change in width across the grain to buckle it in the summer and produce cracks in the winter.\nA major frame and panel door manufacturer was having problems with parts fitting. They made parts in two different locations, and assembled in a third. They also had problems with the finished product. After two days or wrangling with this problem, using good data from the manufacturer on plant RH and MC of the wood, the consensus of the engineers and attendees was that the only solution was to decentralize the manufacturing into regional cells. One could not make parts in New Mexico, ship and assemble in Iowa, then ship the final product to Minnesota without having problems (over 5% failure).\nIn the conversation, almost everyone told tales of problems with solid wood problems when fabricated in one area and used in another. The problems always related to the EMC differences, and were always with solid wood.\nThis is what you are seeing with the wide statistical variation. This is also, by the way, a major reason for any movement away from solid woods to man-made panels and such. By the way, the door manufacturer determined that regional production was not going to happen, and they fell from being one of the top producers of such doors to closing the doors. The reason was unreliable quality, with joints opening, stiles warping, etc.\nIt is well to note that we (the general American public) will be unsatisfied when the RH drops much below 35 to 30% RH in the wintertime in our homes, due to the static electricity, dry nasal passages, etc. So, that sets the bottom limit for many homes. Also, the US Forest Service maps assume heating to 72 F, which today is not always done and which dries out the air. So, the dry values are just not that common. In the summertime, we tend to see mold growth (like in the bathroom) and dampness (like in the bedding) when the humidity gets much above 65% RH. Likewise, the cooling coils on an air conditioning act like a dehumidifier. So, summertime average humidity is seldom above 50% RH inside a home and in many locations are drier.\nThat having been said, and using the fact that shrinkage is more of a problem that swelling, we will target the lower MC range in millwork, cabinets, furniture and so on. You will find that 6.5% MC will be suitable for most of the USA. In the old days, some said 6 to 8 % MC and others said 6 to 9% MC. This still persists and it is this old value (when used in today's modern structures) that keeps my consulting business running - perhaps 75% of the manufacturing calls I get involve lumber and wood products that are at the wrong MC for their environment. Bottom line is that it is probably impossible moisture-wise to make one product that will perform perfectly in any location in the USA, Canada or the world.", "label": "No"}

Bikes designed for heavy riders come with a lot of enhancements to safely and comfortably support their weight. Here are the main things to consider when searching for the best bike for a 300-lb man.\nThe type and size of wheels can create a big difference in the riding comfort in bikes for heavy men. Wheels made of metal instead of carbon and featuring many spokes can support a heavier person. The number of spokes on the front wheel matter less, but you should select a bike with at least 24-spokes on the rear wheel.\nYou should upgrade your bike’s wheels if they have 16 to 18 spokes since these can only support lightweight riders. The size of the wheels also plays a big role in supporting the weight of heavy riders. Larger wheels provide more riding stability for heavy riders compared to small rimmed tires.\n29-inch wheels are ideal for riding on rough terrain since they handle well against any obstacle you’ll find on these roads. Any wheel above 26-inches is suitable for a 300-lb man. You can also choose to order custom made tires that come with high-quality rims and stronger spokes.\nThere’s a wide variety of frame types available for bikes. There is aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, and steel frames. Each of these frames has its strengths and weaknesses. For individuals who are on a budget, aluminum frames are suitable for them, although this type of frame isn’t the strongest.\nCarbon fiber frames are stronger but are quite expensive. Most heavy riders prefer bikes with carbon fiber frames. Steel frames are stronger and affordable but make the bike quite heavy. Titanium is as strong as steel but not as light as an aluminum frame.\nThe best bike for a 300-lb man should have either one or two chain-rings for improved comfort and smoother shifting. This will cost you more since your bike will have two shifters and derailleurs on either side of the handlebars. Nonetheless, bikes with a higher number of gears make cycling easier and more fun.\nThe type of suspension on your bike will affect its control, traction, and overall comfort offered. Your bike will be heavier if it features a suspension fork at the front alongside a rear shock. It’ll also make riding quite a task as you’ll become fatigued easily when riding on hilly terrain or over long distances.\nTherefore, your budget, riding terrain, and preferences will determine the type of suspension you choose for your bike. Full suspension is ideal in absorbing bumps compared to suspension forks (hardtail). The latter is, however, cheaper and provides more speed when riding.\nAll Components Should Fit\nFor improved safety, the best bike for a 300-lb man should have components designed to fit the large frame of the heavy person. The handlebars, stems, seat posts, and saddles should support the overweight person and accommodate their height among other needs. The wide handlebars in the cruiser and hybrid bikes provide are more flexible and comfortable.\nThe drop bars on road bikes should also be wide for the same reasons. Large and padded saddles will provide more comfort and minimize the pain on your back while riding. The bike should also have high-quality pedals that should ensure you cycle without struggling. Your bike will also need brakes that will allow you to come to a complete stop even in adverse conditions.\nThe above-reviewed bikes are some of the best for 300-lb men. They come with rigid construction, strong frames and tires, reliable drivetrains, and comfortable saddles. The list covers the mountain, hybrid, road, and electric bikes. Depending on your riding style, preferences, and cycling goals you’ll find the best type of bike for you on this list.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "I. What is Biomass Energy?\nBiomass energy is a renewable energy source that is derived from organic materials such as plants, trees, and agricultural waste. These materials are burned or converted into biofuels to produce heat, electricity, or transportation fuels. Biomass energy has been used for centuries, dating back to when humans first discovered fire. Today, biomass energy plays a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable energy system.\nII. How Does Biomass Energy Impact Climate Change?\nBiomass energy is considered a carbon-neutral energy source because the carbon dioxide released during combustion is offset by the carbon dioxide absorbed by the plants during their growth. This cycle creates a closed loop where the carbon emissions from burning biomass are balanced by the carbon sequestration of new plant growth. By using biomass energy instead of fossil fuels, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change.\nIII. What are the Benefits of Biomass Energy in Mitigating Climate Change?\nOne of the key benefits of biomass energy is its ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By replacing fossil fuels with biomass energy, we can significantly lower our carbon footprint and decrease our reliance on non-renewable resources. Additionally, biomass energy can help promote sustainable land management practices by utilizing agricultural waste and forestry residues that would otherwise be discarded. This not only reduces waste but also helps to improve soil health and biodiversity.\nIV. What are the Challenges of Using Biomass Energy in Relation to Climate Change?\nWhile biomass energy offers many benefits in terms of mitigating climate change, there are also challenges associated with its use. One of the main concerns is the potential for deforestation and land-use change. If not managed properly, the increased demand for biomass energy could lead to the clearing of forests and other natural habitats, which could have negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Additionally, there are concerns about the sustainability of biomass production and the potential for competition with food crops for land and resources.\nV. How Can Biomass Energy be Utilized to Address Climate Change?\nTo maximize the benefits of biomass energy in addressing climate change, it is essential to adopt sustainable practices and policies. This includes promoting the use of waste materials and residues for biomass production, implementing strict land-use regulations to prevent deforestation, and investing in research and development to improve the efficiency and sustainability of biomass energy technologies. Additionally, integrating biomass energy into a diversified energy mix that includes other renewable sources such as solar and wind power can help to reduce emissions and create a more resilient energy system.\nVI. What are the Future Prospects of Biomass Energy in the Context of Climate Change?\nAs the world continues to grapple with the impacts of climate change, the role of biomass energy is likely to become increasingly important. With advancements in technology and a growing awareness of the need for sustainable energy solutions, biomass energy has the potential to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable future. However, to realize this potential, it is crucial to address the challenges associated with biomass energy and to prioritize sustainable practices in its production and use. By harnessing the power of biomass energy, we can take meaningful steps towards mitigating climate change and creating a more sustainable world for future generations.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "From the Rolleiflex 6x6, which from the beginning set the pattern for the development of the twin-lens reflex camera, the Rolleiflex 4x4 has taken the basic principles of its construction.On top of being given old cameras, with something of a reputation for them, occasionally I am lent them: one such borrowed camera I have been testing recently is the Rolleiflex 4x4, a 127 rollfilm format twin-lens reflex camera from the 1950s. The camera still has its original dual-lens cap and strap, missing its clam-shell ever-ready case, and has clearly been well used, the grey leather panels wearing down to its natural colour. Inside the camera back is a dealer decal reading 'Foto-Krischker Tirschenreuth', Tirschenreuth being a small town in Bavaria close to the Czech border.\nRolleiflex 4x4 manual\nThe Rollei Club website has a detailed page on the evolution of the Rolleiflex 4x4. The initial version of the camera was introduced in 1931, combining the innovations of the larger original Rolleiflex with the increasing popularity of smaller format cameras such as the Leica, amongst others, and developed through the 1930s to the early 1940s - and then brought back in 1957 with the distinctive grey leather inset panels and painted metal trim. The 'Grey Baby' or 'Baby Grey' Rolleiflex inspired a number of Japanese-made 127-format twin-lens cameras such as the Yashica 44, Primo Jr, and the Waltz Automat 44, often in grey. The grey version of the Rolleiflex 4x4 had a much larger production run than any previous model, over 60,000; it was superseded by a final black version with the same specifications from 1963, in much smaller numbers - less than 5,000, and finally discontinued in 1968. All versions of the camera were simply called Rolleiflex 4x4 by Franke & Heidecke/Rollei, but with codes for internal use: the final camera, whether grey or black, is the K5 model. However, the Rolleiflex 4x4 is colloquially and commonly known as the 'Baby' Rolleiflex, although never officially named as such; by contrast Zeiss Ikon adopted the 'Baby' prefix for their 127 cameras based on larger original versions, such as the Baby Box Tengor. Perhaps, unlike Zeiss Ikon - catering for all pockets - aiming at a wealthier customer Rollei disdained the colloquialism of the word 'Baby'.\nOne feature of the Grey Baby Rolleflex 4x4 which firmly locates it as a 1950s-designed camera is its coupled LV (Light Value) system. Aperture and shutter speeds are linked together, so a number of combinations of the two can be selected which will give the same effective exposure. Many cameras during the 1950s and 60s used such systems before this fell out of favour; most contemporary commentators online seem to conceive of the LV shutter-aperture linkage as a solution to a problem that barely exists. On one side of the taking lens the LV numbers run from 2 to 18 with a dot to indicate the selected number; the other side of the shutter has the aperture and shutter speed settings.\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 aperture and shutter speed selectors|\nThe back of the camera has a detailed exposure guide, essentially a sophisticated version of the 'sunny 16' rule, with subjects and lighting conditions, which, when correlated with film speed and adjusted for time of day, produce a number to set on the LV scale of the shutter.\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 exposure guide|\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 viewfinder|\nOpening the camera, the base around the tripod mount has a rotating lever, turning anti-clockwise, to push forward the hinged latch which, when flipped, allows the whole bottom and back to be lifted upwards opening the camera to load the film. Film travels from bottom to top in the camera, both spool holders flip out in different ways to enable loading and unloading. The frame counter is entirely automatic, without a red window. Once loaded and closed, the film is advanced until the numeral 1 appears in the counter window and the advance knob stops until the shutter is released; the shutter release is locked when the viewfinder hood is down. Without a film in the camera, the counter shows '0' and the shutter can be cocked by turning the advance knob and released as normal. The pre-war Rolleiflex 4x4 cameras had an advance lever, but the post-war version has a knob instead (many of the Japanese 4x4 TLR cameras did have advance levers however), more like the contemporary Rolleicord cameras, yet the 4x4 retains the Rolleiflex name.\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 - back open|\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 with Ilford HP5 Plus|\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 with 35mm Ilford Pan 100|\nThe Rolleiflex 4x4 is clearly one of the most sophisticated 127 format cameras ever made; some of the Japanese 4x4 TLR cameras do have light meters, the only feature that could be thought of as lacking from the Rolleiflex. This last iteration of the Rolleiflex 4x4, coming at the time that cameras began to feature built-in light meters, was perhaps popular enough at the height of the late 1950s 4x4 twin-lens reflex craze for there to be little impetus to develop the camera any further. As with other Rollei cameras, there is an attention to detail in the construction and manufacture that occasionally feels like over-engineering, but solid enough to inspire confidence and small enough for portability, perhaps able, briefly, to compete with the sophisticated 35mm cameras of their time. As a result, the Rolleiflex 4x4 is still an eminently usable 127 camera, continued access to 127 film notwithstanding.\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 with Kodak High Resolution Aerial Duplicating Film|\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 with Ilford FP4 Plus|\n|Rolleiflex 4x4 with Ilford HP5 Plus|\nThe Rollei Club on all Rolleiflex 4x4 models\nRolleiflex 4x4 manual (PDF file)\nBaby Rolleiflex on onetwoseven.org\nThe Baby Rolleiflex on Camera-Wiki\nRolleiflex 4x4 on Mike Elek's Classic Cameras\n127 film and the Rolleiflex 4x4 Rollei Users' Club\nAnthony J.

{"text": "Norwegian Cruise Line recently constructed a huge new terminal in Port Miami, FL that can accommodate ships of up to 5,000 passengers.\nDominating the terminal’s passenger waiting area are three large floor-to-ceiling, barrel-shaped drywall structures nicknamed the “pearls.” Inspired by a nautilus shell, the longest is 809-feet and the shortest is 266-feet. The largest is nearly 118-feet high and the smallest is 73-feet high.\nAccording to Andy Irvine, project manager for Lotspeich Co. Inc., the installing contractor, the biggest challenges here were the height of the “pearls” and the restrictions regarding how much weight could be put on the slab. To meet the restrictions, smaller lift systems had to be used, plus COVID-19 requirements no longer allowed two men in one basket. Even with the restrictions, nearly 500 square feet of drywall was installed per man day. A total of nearly 64,000 square feet of drywall was installed.\nIrvine also notes the original design called for metal stud framing, but he switched to a drywall grid system. “This was a huge expanse that was perfect for drywall grid,” he says. “Drywall grid met all load requirements and converted to a much faster, easier installation. “We took a complicated framed ceiling design and made it relatively easy.”\nTo facilitate installation, Armstrong Ceiling & Wall Solutions drew up shop drawings that included the placement of mains, tees, edge details, and more. “It was a real team work approach,” states Irvine.\nArmstrong also provided training, especially regarding bending the mains.” Mains were bent only at the ends of the “pearls,” Irvine states. “The radius is so large in the midsection, we didn’t have to bend the mains, only camber them about 1/8 of an inch.”\n“Production was fantastic,” Irvine adds. “No way could this ceiling have been done other than with drywall grid. If it had been stick-framed, it would have been much more labor. By switching to drywall grid, time and labor were saved and the schedule shortened by 40 percent.\nTowering above the passenger waiting area is a unique undulating custom ceiling that mimics the wave in the cruise line’s logo. It measures 768-feet long and 36-feet wide.\nA total of 6,808 acrylic tubes are suspended from the ceiling’s custom curved grid. Seventy percent of the tubes are frosted and 30 percent are clear. Colored LED lighting throughout the interior shines onto the tubes, creating different visual effects depending on if a tube is clear or frosted. The ceiling grid that holds the tubes is suspended from a curving roof deck and features curved main beams at 9-foot-4-inch centers and straight cross beams at 2-foot centers.\n“The architect had a conceptual idea of what he wanted to do and we brought it to fruition,” said Armstrong Installation Systems Specialist Wade Little who worked with the installing contractor to bring the architect’s vision to life.\nThe new Norwegian Cruise Line Terminal B is the winner of the 2021 Gold Construction Excellence Award from the Ceilings and Interior Systems Construction Association.\nMark Paternostro is senior project manager, Architectural Specialties, for Armstrong World Industries.

Take the example of the bridges over the River Otter – before the embankments led to drier conditions in the Runnie (the name given to the marshland at the Otter Estuary), the first bridge crossing was at Otterton, two miles upriver. Looking at this map of 1765, the reason is clear, the river was simply too wide to span below this point.\nEven now it has been a major engineering project to build up the existing South Farm Road and insert a new bridge at its western end to allow the re-instatement of the river’s natural flood plain, while ensuring safe passage across the valley.\nThis level of engineering would not have been possible in the early nineteenth century, and so the eastern side of the river had no settlements below Otterton. At the eastern end of the road is White Bridge, which has been in place in various forms for many years. This photograph, taken at the time of the floods in November 2012 shows how the road flooded badly but the bridge remained above water.\nSo, when did this all change? The range of historic maps in the Estate’s archive illustrate the development of roads and bridges in the area along with the establishment of new farms, and the expansion of population centres. These were used extensively to inform LORP, and show the emergence of South Farm Road and the bridge that was variously known as Otter Bridge, South Bridge, and finally, White Bridge.\nThe big change came about as a result of the construction of the embankments in the early 1810s and they were sold as an idea to Lord Rolle (the Rolle family later married into the family of the Barons Clinton) by James Green. He produced an intricate plan of the river meandering across the marsh with the works needed to drain the Runnie for agricultural land, straightening parts of the river to form a canal, and enhancing the navigation of the river. Both measures stood to boost the area economically as food prices at the time were rising and canals were all the rage as a new form of transport in this pre-railway era. Below shows the original course of the river close to where White Bridge now stands with his ambitious plan for narrowing it to make a bridge crossing feasible.\nSuccessive maps show a bridge and pathway in place providing the communities of Kersbrook and Budleigh Salterton with a short route to the eastern side of the river. By the time the tithe map for the parish of Otterton was drawn up, a bridge was in place and a trackway leading to South Farm, built in 1802. Previously, the land was farmed as part of Otterton Barton with the farmhouse in Otterton itself.\nLater still, the first edition 25” ordnance survey plan shows clearly the straight road crossing the valley, over the bridge and curving round past South Farm Cottages to South Farm itself, just as it does today. This remains the only route for vehicles across the river without going north to Otterton.\nThe bridge must have been an asset for the area easing communication between the east and west banks, but these photographs of c.1880 show it was a modest and rickety affair, more like an illustration in a children’s story book than a load-bearing bridge. It was likely used by people on foot and packhorses only, and was certainly under water when the river was in flood.\nSoon after, in September 1888, it was replaced by a more serviceable bridge with distinctive white wooden boards, which is probably when it underwent a name change to White Bridge. The bridge was swept away in the exceptional floods in February 1930 but was rebuilt in much the same style and replaced with a concrete bridge in the 1960s.\nPlans for another bridge over the Estuary were discussed in the 1880s. It was meant to stretch from the end of the shingle bar to the eastern cliff right on the sea edge and was proposed by the Rolle Estate as a public amenity. It was probably always an impractical suggestion to produce a stable bridge in the shifting pebbles, especially as the design would require a movable bridge to accommodate the masts of mackerel boats running for shelter in storms. Although the idea would be highly popular with visitors to Budleigh Salterton today, it was rejected at the time by Budleigh Salterton’s Board of Health, Exeter City Council, and the Board of Trade, and so White Bridge remains the only crossing below Otterton Bridge.\nToday White Bridge and South Farm Road represent a modification brought about by human intervention, but they are an intervention that has been retained and improved by LORP to exist in harmony with the natural landscape. The best of both worlds has been achieved – easy communication for the local community between the east and west banks of the river, while the river flows again into its natural floodplain.", "label": "No"}

Sage created the SALT to load quickly as well as maintain high line speeds and accuracy to land the fly exactly where wary saltwater species demand. SALT's robust salt-action taper provides the power needed to cast today's heavier fly lines and deliver all sizes of flies at any range with precision. These are fast loading, high line-speed salt-action rods that deliver tremendous line feel at all ranges. They make the load and throw incredibly extinctive, and as smooth and effortless as any fly rod I've ever had in my hand (Bob). Blanks are dark sapphire with black thread wraps and silver trim wraps. The oversized Fuji ceramic stripper guides and hard chromed snake guides and tip top ensure this rod performs. The heavy-duty stealth black anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat creates a solid nest for the reel, and the hidden hook keeper in the reel seat keeps things sleek. The super-plus full-wells cork handle offers a positive grip in tough fishing conditions. SALT comes in a black rod bag with electric blue logo and model tag in a matching electric blue powder-coated aluminum rod tube and Sage medallion.

SAGE \"ONE\" Fly Rods with Konnetic technology - A new generation of fly rods that gives anglers exceptional tracking and torsional stability, resulting in casting accuracy that's unparalleled. Smooth, precise and with an intentionally forgiving \"sweet spot\" that complements widely diverse casting styles, the ONE rod makes a full range of close-in and long-distance casts that hit the mark with equal ease. Known fact: Fish feed on accuracy. Being able to feel exactly what the line is doing through all stages of a cast gives you ultimate control to make the micro adjustments needed to place the fly precisely where you want it. Engineered energy: Konnetic technology utilizes a new high-modulus composite combined with a high-compression molding process. This results in greater fiber nesting and fuses the inner core to the axial fibers. This allows for superior tracking with virtually no lateral or torsional movement, resulting in extraordinary casting. Konnetic technology provides more focused energy throughout the entire rod blank, resulting in very little sideways cast deflection due to wasted lateral movement. Custom Cork Handle: Snub-nose, half-Wells grip on 3-6 weights and full-Wells grip with fighting butt on saltwater weights 6FB-12 enable a more relaxed grip for improved control, feel and comfort. Blanks are super-sexy translucent BLACK ICE color complemented by black guide wraps and Bronze trim.\n\"ONE offers a more fluid transmission of energy from the arm to the fly.

But be warned: the CIRCA does not mimic the type of slow action that has so far defined the category - overly soft, willowy and flat. Instead, thanks to Konnetic technology's ability to compact and align more carbon fibers into a smaller diameter blank, Sage rod designers were able to design a radically narrow taper throughout the length of the rod, resulting in consistently slow, yet responsive action from butt to tip. The new CIRCA rod is a technologically advanced slow-action fly rod that honors your slower, more deliberate casting style, yet is every bit a Sage.\n\"My goal for this rod was to apply the performance advantages of modern materials on a very sleek, slender shaft that would load down in the hand for a fishing tempo like glass or bamboo while providing the crucial need for accuracy.\" Jerry Siem, Sage Chief Fly Rod Designer\nKey features of the CIRCA\nLow-Profile Ferrules - The inherent strength of Konnetic technology allows us to reduce the weight of our all-graphite ferrule connections by nearly 70%.

{"text": "A stuffy and filthy environment hinders creativity and deteriorates the healthy states of the body. This is well known throughout the entire population but people often fail to uphold cleanliness to its expectation due to a lack of necessary equipment required. This process compels the usage of a vacuum. This article reviews factors to consider when buying a vacuum cleaner.\nVacuum cleaners are gaining popularity due to their ability to satisfy the expectations of customers. They are broadly categorized as wet vacuums and dry vacuums based on the nature of work performed. Based on the model and structure, they are categorized as; canister, handheld, upright, backpack, cylinder, robotic, and central vacuum cleaner.\n1. Power performance\nThis is the vacuum’s ability to sanction dirt by creating a sufficient low-pressure zone. This is usually measured by two indications, water lift, and airflow. Water lift is a parameter to indicate the height with which water can be sanctioned while airflow refers to the amount of air flowing past the nozzle per unit of time. These two parameters encompass the power and their effectiveness.\n2. Motor power\nThis refers to the number of motors fitted in the vacuum. It should be by the nature of the floor and the type of debris to be sanctioned. Rugged surfaces have more motors to effectively dislodge debris. It is uneconomical to purchase a vacuum with many motors for smothered surfaces or surfaces with light carpets.\n3. Noise level\nNoise-sensitive environments require the least noise-producing equipment. Improvements are going on to generate apparatus with negligible noise production with the moving parts made to move swiftly as possible. These vacuums ensure comfort not only to the user but also to the occupants of that room. The lesser the amount of noise generated, the higher the vacuum price in Kenya.\nAny vacuum is fitted with two types of filters, upstream and downstream filters. Upstream filters dirt from reaching the cleaner systems while downstream filter prevents dirt from circulating back into the room. The filters can be made of polyester filters, washable polyester, or HEPA filters. HEPA filters are the most effective while washable filters are more durable.\n5. Structure and design\nVacuums came in different shapes, weights, and dimensions. This affects its mobility and the area accessible for cleaning. Vacuums designed for offices are usually lighter and easily movable compared to those used for outdoor activities. Those designed for outdoor activities are fitted with wheels and longer cords to ensure a larger area is covered during cleaning.\n6. Attached accessories\nManufacturers attach accessories to allow the performance of special tasks using the same machine. The common attachments include suction hoses, wands, and tubes. Modern vacuums however have included flat lance to collect debris from narrow grooves, round brush for delicate surfaces, and wet brush for lifting liquids and liquid soaked debris.\nThe products in the market might be confusing probably in terms of decision-making on the best product to fit your requirements. The majority of the clients end up disappointed by their rush decision-making without doing proper research. This article is fit for reference for anyone wishing to purchase a vacuum cleaner.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "3) This machine is crazy smart. It knows exactly when to clean itself, or tells you when to start the cleaning cycle. To clean it, all you do is insert a tablet in the coffee powder drawer and it does its thing. It knows when it needs water, when the filter needs to be changed, etc. In fact, since we have a water filter built into our refrigerator, we just use that filtered water in the coffee machine and therefore we don't need to use the expensive water filters. Bottom line, if you just pay attention and clean the machine on a regular basis when it tells you to, this is a no-brainer machine.\nAs an anecdote, I once failed one of my shots, it happens to everyone. The biggest problem with that cup was that it had almost no crema. I sipped it anyway, I wanted to see how it was. I was absolutely stunned by the taste of that shot. The unique combination of tamping and grind size made that cup more flavorful. It just didn’t have enough crema. Never judge an espresso by its looks. This is why some people hate Nespresso with a passion, it is very consistent, and it gives you a great shot with ample crema every time, but it is never fantastic. I love “fantastic”, but for the convenience, I settle for good, so Nespresso is one of my favorite coffeemakers. If convenience is what you are looking for mostly, take a look at our article that compares capsule-based espresso machines.\nWe’re going to start with a rundown of the features of the Impressa F8, so that you know what you’re getting if you choose to buy. A lot of machines offer the same core functions, so we tend to focus on what stands out, so rest assured, if we rate a machine highly (as we do with this one), it’s going to be a good all rounder unless we specifically say otherwise.\nLet’s take making a cappuccino with the Jura, for example. Instead of having to froth your milk manually, the Jura will froth the milk for you and layer it into your cappuccino perfectly. Forget having to clean a separate canister and frother; it’s all done for you right within the machine. The Jura can even tackle more complicated drinks such as a latte macchiato. The Jura will lay down a layer of foam on the bottom of your cup, add coffee, and finish it off with a perfect layer of foam on top creating a truly authentic latte macchiato.\nJura machines differ greatly in size and weight. The smallest machines can be tucked into a corner inconspicuously, but the largest machines take up large amounts of space, and require some room to operate. We will be keeping track of the dimensions to make sure that you don’t end up with a 40-lb. tank for your streamlined, urban apartment. We know, everything looks smaller on the internet!\nThe ESAM5500B from DeLonghi allows you to finally be your own barista and enjoy delicious lattes and cappuccinos anytime. This model comes with a patented milk container, so if you love Italian drinks and would like to prepare them at home, then the ESAM5500B can easily help you prepare them. All you need to do is slide it onto the front of the espresso machine, place your favorite cup under the nozzle and then press the button corresponding to the type of drink you want to prepare. After that, the machine is going to take care of everything for you. Given the fact that it can be detached easily, you can place the milk container in the refrigerator after each use.\nJura machines all have self-cleaning technologies that prevent scaling, powder buildup, and other problems typical of the industry. That being said, you will need to become familiar with and regularly purchase self-cleaning fluids and tablets that the machine uses to maintain itself. These products are typically included on the page where you buy, but in the event that they are not, we have you covered in our reviews.\nThe first thing you’ll probably notice when making your coffee is just how quiet the Giga 5 is. This is thanks to the two ceramic disk grinders that occupy each side of the unit and operate just above a whisper. These discs will probably never wear our and the grind on them is extremely precise and always consistent. It offers 18 completely customizable specialty drinks through the intuitive and easy to navigate display which provide enough variety to satisfy everyone’s tastes.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Being a homeowner can seem like a sea of endless work. As soon as you feel like you have everything taken care of in your home, something will break or need your attention. When you’re facing home repairs, usually homeowners will prioritize the repairs needed in their home in order of importance. Obviously, if you had something like a water leak somewhere in your house, you would fix that before a broken doorknob. If you have foundation problems, some homeowners might not know how important it is to get them fixed as soon as possible. DuraTech Texas is here to talk about why you need to move quickly with foundation repairs when they are needed.\nWhy is Prompt Foundation Repair Important?\nWhen you first notice that there are cracks in your foundation, it might not seem like anything you need to be too worried about. While your home might not be at risk of crumbling to the ground, it is still something that should concern you. Here are some of the reasons that you should be prioritizing your home’s foundation repairs:\n– Weather Impacts Movement: Many people don’t realize that their foundation moves with the seasons. During the summer it might sink a bit more and during the winter, when the ground is cold, it rises. When there are cracks, this natural movement can cause serious problems with things like the plumbing that is underground. It can lead to serious repairs to your house.\n– Problems with Foundation Settling: People talk about settling being a common issue with many homes. While this can affect homes, it can cause serious problems to more than just the foundation. Thinks like Sheetrock, window wells, door frames and more can be affected by settling. A lot of the time, settling is minimal and doesn’t cause any problems. However, some settling is severe and leaves your home in disrepair.\n– Money Savings: Just like anything else, the longer you let it go, the more serious the problems will be. When it comes to your foundation, this can equal more money. The longer you wait, the more serious the problems and the more the repairs will cost. Doing the repairs as soon as possible helps you save a lot of money. Letting the foundation stay in disrepair will only cause more problems throughout the entire house. These problems could be things like floors that need to be replaced, cracks in walls, door frames that have to be replaced and more expensive problems.\nFoundation Repair Services & More in Crosby, Cypress, Friendswood & Greater Houston, Texas\nIf you suspect that you have foundation problems that need to be fixed, you can turn to DuraTech Texas to help you get it taken care of. We will inspect your foundation and look for any signs that the foundation is in trouble. We want your home to be structurally sound. If there are issues, we will fix them and ensure your home is supported. Call us today!", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Normal approximation for the net flux through a random conductor\n© Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015. We consider solutions of an elliptic partial differential equation in Rd with a stationary, random conductivity coefficient. The boundary condition on a square domain of width L is chosen so that the solution has a macroscopic unit gradient. We then consider the average flux through the domain. It is known that in the limit L →∞, this quantity converges to a deterministic constant, almost surely. Our main result is about normal approximation for this flux when L is large: we give an estimate of the Kantorovich–Wasserstein distance between the law of this random variable and that of a normal random variable. This extends a previous result of the author (Probab Theory Relat Fields, 2013. doi:10.1007/s00440-013-0517-9) to a much larger class of random conductivity coefficients. The analysis relies on elliptic regularity, on bounds for the Green’s function, and on a normal approximation method developed by Chatterjee (Ann Probab 36:1584–1610, 2008) based on Stein’s method.\nVolume / Issue\nStart / End Page\nElectronic International Standard Serial Number (EISSN)\nInternational Standard Serial Number (ISSN)\nDigital Object Identifier (DOI)", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Simply stated, a fast action rod is stiffer than a slow action. A fast rod bends only about a third of the way to the tip, while a slow rod will bend almost all the way to the butt. An intermediate speed rod should bend about halfway.\nWhat is a fast action rod good for?\nFast action is useful for big, strong predators in deep water. Using a fast action rod in small or shallow waters will prove frustrating for catching anything but weeds and driftwood. Slow action rods work well with short casts and small fish.\nWhy would you want a slow action rod?\nSlow Action: A slow action rod will bend throughout the whole length of the rod, providing the most flexible action available. These rods are used exclusively for small fish, like a panfish, allowing a better fight for the angler, and a shock absorber so that the hook is not ripped clear through the mouth on hook sets.\nWhat is the best fly rod for beginners?\nHere are the best fly rods you can buy for a beginner.\n|Fly rod||Line weights||Price|\n|Echo Carbon XL fly rod||2wt–6wt||$149.99|\n|Echo Ion XL fly rod||6wt–10wt||$169.99|\n|Sage FOUNDATION fly rod||4wt–8wt||$325.00|\n|Redington Vice fly rod||3wt-9wt||$199.99|\nWhat weight fly rod should a beginner use?\nThe weight of the fly rod (which means what weight fly line you plan on using) will vary depending on what you fish for. But for trout fishing, generally a 4-weight, 5-weight or 6-weight rod is best. I personally prefer a 4-weight, but that’s just me.\nWhat are 7 3 rods good for?\n7’3″ Medium/Heavy Casting Rod Specs\nSUGGESTED TECHNIQUES: This all purpose rod is great for a large multitude of techniques. From Texas rig to Jigs to large Spinner baits, and everything in between.\nHow do I choose a rod action?\nA fast action rod will bend in only the top third or less of the blank, a medium or moderate action will bend in the top half or so and a slow action will bend starting in the lower third of the rod. Sometimes slow action rods are termed ‘parabolic’, meaning the bend of the rod is similar throughout the length.\nWhat rod is best for topwater?\nBest topwater rod in 2021 reviewed\n|St Croix Avid Casting||6’6″||Best overall performance|\n|Daiwa Tatula XT Casting||7′||Best budget option|\n|Dobyns Fury Casting||6’6″||Best for ‘walking the dog’|\n|Lew’s Custom Plus Topwater Casting||6’8″||Best for lightweight lures|\nWhat action rod is best for crankbaits?\nA good crankbait rod should have a relatively slow action. In other words, the rod should start to bend down about half way down when moderate pressure is applied to the top section. Fast action means that just the top third will bend with the same pressure.\nHow long of a rod should I get?\nThe length of a fishing rod typically ranges from 6-12 feet, so to choose a measurement for your needs, consider the type of fishing you plan to do, the species you are after and your fishing environment. A good length for beginner anglers is usually around 7 feet.\nWhat is the best all-around fly rod weight?\nIn short, 5-weight fly rods are widely considered to be the best all-around choice for anglers; and for good reason. From making delicate casts on small mountain streams, to fighting 20-inch trout on larger rivers and lakes, 5-weight fly rods are versatile enough to handle a wide range of fly fishing scenarios.\nHow much does a good fly rod cost?\nSo, you want to spend $150 to $200 minimum to get a decent fly rod. $200 fly rods these days are just superb. They are great casting tools, they look nice, and some people never want to go any further than a $200 rod and you don’t have to. Now you can spend a lot more than $200 on a fly rod.\nWhat is the best fly rod for the money?\nThese 7 fly rods perform exceptionally—and won’t break the bank.\n|Fly rod||Line weights||Price|\n|Scott Flex fly rod||3wt–8wt||$475.00|\n|Sage Foundation fly rod||4wt–8wt||$325.00|\n|G.

{"text": "The excitement of riding using the wind inside your face, the roar from the engine and easy ability to move make motorcycles fun. Gas mileage along with a lower car or truck than cars make sure they are much more attractive. You will find three primary kinds of motorcycles: street bikes, off-road bikes and dual-purpose bikes.\nStreet motorcycles: Street bikes are the most typical motorcycle type. They are created to be ridden on paved streets.\nFeatures: Street motorcycles feature aerodynamic body sections and bumpers to pay for the running aspects of the bike. They likewise have vehicle-like features including cushy seats, speedometers and odometers, storage areas and softer tires for any comfortable ride.\nTalents: Street bikes make excellent modes of standard transportation.

The graceful tires and suspension are ineffective on rugged terrain. Also, while these bikes feature some storage, it’s less than you can get inside a vehicle.\nTypes: One of many kinds of street motorcycles available, they are most typical:\nCruiser motorcycles: These comfortable bikes are ideal for driving out and about. When sitting, your ft are forward, your arms are slightly elevated as well as your back is either straight or slightly lying down. A vintage illustration of a cruiser is really a Harley-Davidson. Chopper-style motorcycles also become qualified as cruiser motorcycles.\nSport bikes: These racy little bikes are generally known to crotch rockets for his or her speed and noisy seem. Whenever you ride one of these simple bikes, you are hunched forward together with your legs bent and ft slightly behind you. Sport bikes are lightweight and also have great speed and ability to move.

Also, many states will not problem license plates to off-road motorcycles.\nTypes: Off-road motorcycles vary with respect to the sport or event that they’re intended. Motocross, possibly typically the most popular, features bikes which are extremely light to allow them to easily obvious jumps. Rallies, that are races with the desert, require heavier bikes with bigger fuel tanks to visit lengthy distances.\nDual-purpose motorcycle: If you cannot decide from a street bike as well as an off-bicycle, there’s an agreement: the twin purpose. The twin purpose bike will go off-roading and travel on roads, though it is not as rugged being an off-bicycle, nor as comfortable like a street bike.\nFeatures: Combination motorcycles resemble street bikes using their heavier weights and larger physiques. Additionally they meet road standards by getting lights, mirrors, acceptable pollutants standards and license plates. Off-road options that come with dual-purpose bikes include greater clearance and rugged tires.\nTalents: These bikes can be used as daily travel on paved streets too for weekend entertainment. They may also handle harder terrain than some street bikes.\nWeak points: Because of heavier weight, these bikes can’t climb especially rough terrain as an off-bicycle. Furthermore, sportier versions of combination motorcycles are missing comfort features, which makes them less appropriate for lengthy-distance travel.\nTypes: Adventure-touring bikes are the most typical of those combination machines. They’ve the load and appear of the street bike, with bigger fuel tanks and chambers, but could handle gravel and a few off-road situations. Motorcyclists who would like much more off-road abilities from a dual-purpose bike should think about enduro and supermoto bikes, which resemble off-road bikes in looks and gratifaction.\nWhichever kind of bike fits into your budget, you need to safeguard neglect the with affordable motorcycle insurance.

{"text": "It has been some time since I have posted. I have, however been at work on the lower masts during this time. No postings have been made before because I was not sure that the ideas I had about how to do them would work, and there is no sense in posting something that did not work. Being satisfied that what has been achieved is the best I can do for now, so I might as well make some posts on the matter.\nI did manage to find some dowels of the right size that were not warped, so these masts are based on those. Here goes...\n1. Using an electric drill and some 120 sandpaper taped to my table, I tapered the mast.\n2. The top was then marked as shown as a guide to the squaring of the mast head.\n3. Using an electric disc sander, I squared the mast heads. As you might imagine, the squaring got better as I did more masts. I started with the main mast as it is the largest, and, presumably the easiest to detail in scale.\nI decided to make two of them and choose the better one. Was that ever a good idea!!\n1. Rotating the mast with the drill, marks were made where the mast hoops will go.\n2. The bluejacket instructions suggest using either card stock or copper coated strips from the coppering sprue. Remembering the dire warnings about using copper, and because I wanted to use PVA glue rather than CA, I opted for 110 lb card stock. Using a steel ruler and sharp knife, I cut strips as close to the indicated 1/32\" width as I could. The hoops meet where the paunch will go, and so, will be invisible.\nSeveral options as to the design of the paunch and cheeks presented themselves. The ship presently has the paunch and cheeks integrated into one structure with the hoops passing underneath. The instruction manual has a photo on page 58 in which the paunch and cheeks are separate, and the hoops pass under both the paunch and the cheeks. The Revell model has separate paunch and cheeks, with the paunch extending all the way down to the gun deck, and the hoops over both paunch and cheeks. The Marquardt AOS shows paunch and cheeks abutting but not integrated, and the hoops passing over the cheeks then under the paunch. Also, the cheeks extend about halfway between the tops of the hounds/bibs and the spar deck both in the AOS and the present day ship. I opted for separate paunch and and cheeks, the cheeks extending down halfway to the spar deck, and the paunch extending down to the mast boots on the spar deck. Here is how I elected to construct these.\n1. This illustration is scanned from the downloaded MS Constitution manual.\n2. Card stock is added between the mast hoops so that they would not have to take the full stress of having the strips glued over them.\n3. 1/16\" x 1/16\" basswood stock was glued and clamped.\n4. Wood strips in place.\n5. Elmer's wood filler added then the whole sanded down to size. Several applications of filler were needed, as it tended to shrink when drying.\n6. Not having a lot of confidence in my ability to cut neat grooves in the undersides of the strips, I opted to fill the gap with Elmer's.\nThen came construction of the hounds/bibs, cheeks, and jeer bits.\nI learned that working with these masts on a soft cushy surface was a way to avoid beating up the cardboard mast hoops, as you can see in photo 6.\n1. The hounds and bibs were made from one piece using the kit's plans. They were fashioned from two pieces glued together with rubber cement to insure uniformity.\n2. Not having the confidence to make the hounds and bibs separately then scarph them together neatly while maintaining strength, I cut groove with a chisel just deep enough to look like a seam.\n3. Gluing them onto the dowel with Titebond III while keeping them aligned was very tricky. Elmer's wood filler was used to fill in the gap. Again, several applications were need, with the first done with diluted filler so\nthat proper penetration into the joint was assured.\n4. Hounds/bibs in place, front view.\n5.- 6. Cheeks constructed using the same procedure as was used for the paunch.\n7.- 8. Jeer bits installed.\n9. Foremast constructed just as the main mast was. AOS shows no paunch or cheeks on the mizzen mast, and there will be a spider ring installed, so I opted to omit them.\nPainting is always a Day of Judgment for me as every infinitessimal irregularity becomes a flashing neon sign.\nI am now working on the boarding pikes and racks. BJ Connie builders, be advised that the Britannia metal pikes do not fit through the holes in the upper photo etched brass racks. Not even close! I tried filing down the one of the pikes which made a mess, and tried to enlarge the holes in the upper racks which made a bigger mess. I ordered replacements for these from Bluejacket. I await delivery of 20 size straight pins to use for pikes.\nLet's see how that works.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "All-electric, whisper quiet, one sail and comfort as a top priority.\nThe HopYacht 30 is designed for relaxed island hopping, coastal hops or simply bay to bay.\nOur new HopYacht 30 catamaran makes sailing easy and effortless, by simplifying the things that make traditional yachts feel like hard work.\nDesigned specifically for couples or families with young children (perhaps not yet able to help out), HopYacht is easy to sail short-handed. With the stability of a catamaran, anxious newcomers to sailing will quickly feel at home, and that means you can relax.\nPerfect for bay, coastal or short island hops. But why stop there? To explore another region of the world, the HopYacht 30 has demountable hulls and will fit into two standard 40' containers. Assembly at your new destination is straightforward.\nWith the same beam as a typical 36'- 40' monohull, you'll have more options to secure a berth in busy marinas and of course mooring fees will be much lower than a typical wide beam catamaran!\nWith just a single sail to manage, HopYacht lives up to the promise of effortless sailing. The genoa sheets are led to one winch at the helm station, making sailing single-handed a breeze. Positioning the mast further aft optimises the sail area and significantly improves upwind performance. An asymmetric spinnaker can be added as an option.\nAll on one level.\nThe cockpit, saloon and forward cabin areas are all on the same level with full standing headroom throughout, eliminating the hassle and hazard of climbing up and down companionway steps.\nOne level also introduces more light into the interior with large wrap around windows. HopYacht's layout creates a natural flow of air throughout, keeping you naturally cool, without the need for air-conditioning.\nE-sailing ... all-electric.\nEquipped with electric sail drives plus electric water heating and cooking, fossil fuel pollution is eliminated. There's also no noise pollution. With whisper quiet electric motors, re-charged by four solar panels, HopYacht is truly eco-sensitive.\nUnlike yachts with diesel engines, motor sailing now becomes a real joy. We call this E-Sailing! A great way to enjoy more efficient sailing, especially when you need to beat the tide or get home before dark. A bit like riding an E-Bike!\nRelaxation super-yacht style.\nOur design team have extensive experience creating interiors for larger luxury catamarans and have borrowed a number of ideas to enhance the overall comfort of our HopYacht. A good example is the wrap-around cockpit seating which is fully upholstered and converts into a day bed with room for two!\nA proper island bed.\nStandard yacht berths can feel a little like you are on a camping holiday! The forward cabin features a proper walk-around queen sized bed (1.92m x 1.53m) .\nSunbathing can be thirsty work!\nIf you take relaxation seriously, you'll love the trampoline area at the bow. No more tossing a coin to see who will fetch the refreshments, because built into the aft section of the anchor locker is a cooler box with drink holders.\nGalley integrated into the cockpit area.\nFor relaxed holiday style sailing, having the galley in the under-cover cockpit area makes a huge amount of sense. The cook is able to socialise and enjoy the view while cooking. In warm weather, it's much cooler and the heat (and smell) from cooking isn't trapped inside the saloon.", "label": "No"}

In today's video, I lay out what Scott Baxendale does to these vintage budget instruments to make them take flight with much greater volume, tonal range, and much better playability.

{"text": "If you are looking at this uniquely shaped messing with your vision sort of a keyboard, yup! That’s the one we are talking about. Before you read the entire thing, just be prepared and ready to be amazed because this thing here will have you sold. First of all we can’t get over the design, before we start talking about all the techy stuff, we are pretty sure even the not so techy people will love how this looks, if you are looking at its picture, don’t you blink a couple of times and then see with focus what is with the keyboard? Though one thing is certain with this design, it will not be an easy fit on your messy desktop but looking at its specs we are not so certain it will ever be found on your desktop ever.\nStarting with the price of the keyboard, this keyboard is not at all priced anyway near the keyboards you are used to of buying and stacking in the corner of your room or that garbage box where you never pickup anything from once it has made in to your garbage. This keyboard is expensive and it has been expensive since the moment it was up for pre-booking. Okay first of all, this keyboard is quite famous already. From the moment it was launched and made available for pre ordering, people invested in the keyboard and it is still the most favorite keyboard especially for the people who have typing jobs and you need to keep stuck with their computers or desktops for several hours every day. Once again, not getting in to the technical things here but this keyboard has a slight bent shape that allows a very comfortable typing experience. Typing is so much easier with this keyboard because it is made for the exact purpose. The hands easily adapt to its shape and if you take a closer look at it, it is the most comfortable position for the people who type for hours to keep their hands that way. Although this keyboard does not clearly mention any stress relief because of its design but it still looks very comfortable to use.\nUsers who have ordered this keyboard as soon as it is launched have given great feedback for this machine. They are very happy and satisfied with their keyboard. Microsoft’s Surface Ergonomic Keyboard is the best keyboard so far and surprisingly it has been a long time since it is around but it still is the most expensive for a keyboard.\nMicrosoft Ergonomics is a whole line of products designed to increase the quality and efficiency of your work and the quality as well. If you own one of the previous from their ergonomics line you would know how addictive their use is. Ergonomics is a line designed to decrease the difficulties you face with typing for hours. These products are way too unlike the keyboards and mouse we are using and they can get you hooked to them. Ever since the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard has been announced as the new baby of this line, the preorders have reached the sky. These keyboards can be ordered directly at Microsoft’s website.\nMoving on to the specific Model of the keyboard we are talking about here, the Microsoft Ergonomics Surface keyboard is surely the new and the most awaited device for a keyboard. First of all, the price of the keyboard is a little too much, again, for a keyboard; we can’t stress enough on how pricey it is for a keyboard. Even if you check the reviews on the Microsoft’s website, you will see most people giving 4 out of 5 stars, one star down because of the price. Users have also written interesting things in the reviews that can help Microsoft make the product and its performance better such as the fact that they could do something about the rice of the product and keep it a little low, we don’t know if they could but okay, agreed! Next thing a user has to say is that having made the BMW of the keyboards, they could have made the keyboard backlit, and when you come to think of it, it sure does make sense, with a $120 keyboard, you can expect to have the keys backlit. Some users also complain that the shape is a little difficult to get used to of but there were not too many people of the same opinion. Also, although there were not too many reviews on the website, there were two observations made, one is that the keyboard is generally appreciated by most people even though they have things the people are not happy about. The second thing is that people are using it more for their work. This sure means that Microsoft has made a successful product and has the right objective behind it as people do use it for work mostly.\nWhen you order this keyboard, you will need to keep few things in your mind. First thing you need to think whether you are okay with the shape, most people are but you never know so before splurging on a $120 keyboard you can have a test run before you give in. Secondly, you need to consider whether you are buying this keyboard for your home or work use. Also, you need to have a backup which is cheaper at all times so that you can switch when you are not feeling too comfortable.\nThe Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Keyboard is a hit without a doubt; its power options are also a reason why these keyboards are winners. The keyboard runs on 2 AAA batteries and the time is up to 12 months thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity which spares one of the USB slot so you don’t need to plug it in at all. Overall this Keyboard sure is a good investment for users who are required half of their day to be spent on a PC.", "label": "No"}

But still, the main question is undoubtedly the talk of the town. How to choose the most suitable wireless room thermostat? Learn more about these under this guide that will give you ample information about their unique features and how to choose the best among them.\nWhat is a wireless thermostat?\nAn internet-connected wireless room thermostat that is connected to the internet and offers wireless controlling facilities. These Thermostats can be governed with the help of a user-friendly application that one can easily download from any of their smart devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops.\nA wireless room thermostat offers you the convenience of adjusting the room temperature from anywhere. By automatically regulating the temperature, it will enhance your comfort, lifestyle, and whatnot.\nKey features to look for in a wireless Thermostat.\nThe following points should be considered when buying a Wireless Thermostat Kit:\n- You should check if the Wireless Thermostat is compatible with your computer.\n- You need to calculate the house’s dimensions\n- Test its artificial intelligence, automation, and scheduling capabilities\n- Determine how it senses the environment\n- Double-check if the device saves energy\nWhen deciding on a new smart thermostat, you should take a few things into account. Installing a thermostat that meets your home comfort as well as automation requirements is essential. Different thermostats are meant to solve different purposes. Additionally, it is viable to check that it works with your current heating and cooling system or not. If a WiFi thermostat is not working properly, then it may require an immediate upgrade.\nThe following points will help you choose the best WiFi thermostat from the market:\n- Computer compatibility\nFortunately, the majority of WiFi thermostats work with a wide variety of HVAC systems. It is still important to verify that your existing HVAC system is compatible with the remote thermostat. It is also important to note that a thermostat does not continuously regulate heating and cooling systems effectively. Don’t order the new WiFi thermostat until you double-check. If you visit the manufacturer’s website, you can find your HVAC’s unique make and model by looking at its specifications. You should also research the brand and model of the WiFi thermostat that interests you.\n- House’s Dimensions are essential.\nThe size of your house can also be a significant factor affecting your decision to buy a WiFi thermostat. Ensure that it can monitor and maintain all areas in your home where temperatures need to be controlled. Remote sensors can be connected wirelessly to some WiFi thermostats. Various areas of your house can be monitored using these sensors for temperature, moisture, and occupancy. With this data, you can control a smart thermostat. It can follow instructions and maintain a specific temperature.\n- It should be able to automate, schedule, and learn.\nThe main advantage of WiFi thermostats is that they help you automate the temperature in your home. Choosing a smart thermostat means ensuring that it allows you to control your environment and efficiently automate your home. Scheduling your home’s climate adjustments is the most straightforward way to keep it maintained. You can typically set a different temperature for each day of the week on most WiFi thermostats.\n- Sensing capabilities\nRemote temperature sensors must ensure thermostats can adjust to any changes in temperature in the entire house. The wireless room thermostat unit can incorporate these or be placed in various locations in the house. It can use these sensors to detect room temperature, humidity, occupancy, and whether the room is occupied or vacant. After receiving the information from the WiFi thermostat, you can adjust the temperature accordingly.\n- Energy efficiency\nRemotely controlling WiFi thermostats is possible with most basic models. This feature makes it possible for you to adjust the temperature before and after leaving the house without a doubt. Turning it off when it’s not in use saves energy in this way. Now, you can program a temperature control unit to remember your preferences. By implementing machine-learning algorithms, they can automatically change the climate, as well. Some devices can detect when there is no one at home and reduce energy consumption.\nAlmost every home with an air conditioning or heating system can install a smart wireless room thermostat plus connect to WiFi easily. It is nonetheless possible to find different cooling and heating systems for your home. Before purchasing a smart thermostat, it’s a good idea to make sure it’s compatible with your system and runs well. If you’re looking for a smart thermostat, then you’ve reached the correct queue. Tado’s thermostats can enhance your room’s heating and cooling experience up to another level. SO what are you waiting for? Click here to know more.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "WINNIPEG, Man. – A government listens to the people? Since when?\nSince 2015, apparently, if you live in Manitoba and represent the province’s trucking industry. That’s according to Terry Shaw, executive director of the Manitoba Trucking Association, who told Truck West recently that after the Manitoba government decided to up the biodiesel mandate above the national figure, his organization fought back and, at least so far, appears to have caused the politicians to back down.\n“Currently in Manitoba,” Shaw said, “the mandate for biodiesel is a 2% limit, which coincidentally is also the federal mandate.”\nThe MTA’s concern came when the province said it would raise the biodiesel mandate to 5% in an effort to mitigate greenhouse gases, which Shaw said would mean that “at point of sale we’re getting 10 or 12% (biodiesel) during the summer months and 0% during the winter months and that obviously does nobody any good.”\nSo the MTA made its case to the province’s NDP government, with results that appear generally positive. “Manitoba to their credit had heard our concerns in regards to biodiesel,” Shaw said, “and their suggestion was that for the next 3%, to achieve the 5% limit, they were going to go with something called biodiesel two, which is also known as renewable diesel or HDRD (hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel).”\nThe reason for changing from the currently-used biodiesel one, Shaw said, was that “biodiesel one has significantly different properties than diesel fuel, which is causing the problems with our engines.”\nOn the other hand, Shaw said biodiesel two, the HDRD renewable diesel, is more chemically similar to diesel, so the prevailing thought is that it shouldn’t cause the problems that the FAME-based biodiesel does. That doesn’t tell the whole story, though.\n“The concern we have with the HDRD biodiesel that it’s only produced in one location in North America – Louisiana – and as we understand it 100% of the sales of that product are already earmarked for US distribution and as such, the HDRD that we would be getting in Manitoba would be coming from Singapore or the Netherlands, so there’s some real supply chain considerations.”\nThe MTA also questioned the environmental benefits of “kind of clear-cutting palm forests in Singapore to turn it into biodiesel so you can ship it halfway across the globe and mix it into fuel tanks here in Manitoba.”\nShaw also noted that, because biodiesel two is a supposedly a “better product,” it’s also about 40 cents a litre more expensive than regular diesel, “so even at a 3% injection, 3% of 800 million litres is like a $13 million a year touch to our industry.”\nThat argument was “Point A” of the MTA’s two-pronged response to the threatened increase in the biodiesel mandate. Point B was that, “We for many years have been working with the government on regulation and other tools that will help us reduce our greenhouse gas footprint,” Shaw said. “We recognize the impact we have on the environment. We use the equipment we do because it is the best equipment available to meet the needs of our industry and our national economy right now, and we shouldn’t be penalized for that.”\nShaw stressed that today’s fossil fuel-consuming vehicles are the most efficient and effective ones the trucking industry can use, though he also admitted that they do have some associated impact in regards to greenhouse gases. His suggestion? “Instead of penalizing us by forcing us under the banner of greenhouse gases to use products or equipment that doesn’t meet our needs, (the province should) work with us on tools that we have readily available, so we can implement those quickly, in greater numbers. And by that I mean changing regulation.”\nShaw was quick to note that the Manitoba government has already listened to the industry, changing the rules around the use of the wide-base tires that can increase fuel economy significantly, but he added that’s it’s only one step toward a greener trucking industry in the province.\n“What we also did was to tell them that there’s a whole host of other products – APUs, aerodynamics, boat tails, fairings, tire inflation systems, all that good stuff – that industry wants to use, but maybe doesn’t have the information it needs in order to make an informed decision and maybe doesn’t have the capital to purchase.”\nTo help make its case, Shaw said, the MTA partnered with Manitoba’s Buller Centre for Business to come up with an alternative to biodiesel: what they ended up calling the GrEEEner Trucking Fuel Efficiency Initiative.\n“For many years we’ve been active participants in something called the Tomorrow Now discussions,” Shaw said. “It’s basically the province of Manitoba’s green discussions, recognizing the impact we have and, more importantly, recognizing the opportunity our industry has.”\nHe said the MTA connected with the Buller Centre at those meetings and since then has “partnered on a host of papers and other projects that we have gone to the government on together and showed them there is an independent third party who’s also in agreement with us.”\nThat “unbiased agreement” seems to have helped sway the bureaucrats, though Shaw noted it’s a shame that, while his organization has been advocating for many years, “until we kind of got that independent third party involved we hadn’t really received much attention. We haven’t changed our messaging at all but I guess maybe there might have been a perception that if the trucking guys are asking for it, then it can’t be good.”\nShaw said the partnership with the Buller Centre has produced “a lot of real significant wins for the province – our industry specifically, but for the province too in regards to some of these environmental initiatives. And because of the work the MTA did in communicating the concerns (about upping the mandate) and more importantly in communicating the better alternative, to their credit the Manitoba government listened.”\nPoliticians, of course, are known for paying lip service and then going off and doing what they want anyway, but Shaw doesn’t think that’s going to be the case here.\n“I genuinely believe they’re very interested, absolutely,” he said, adding that “they heard our presentation on the GrEEEner trucking fuel efficiency initiative and they said it passed the smell test. So let’s hammer out the details on how we can proceed.”\nHe said those discussions are ongoing and that, so far, it’s been very positive.\n“I’m very confident, based on the reception we received from the province, that (it) will be a go,” he said. Shaw also admitted, however, that they haven’t received any formal word from the province – which is still reviewing the GrEEEner initiative – but said “informally, they said it makes some sense…and we expect to be proceeding at some point in the future, in partnership with the province, on working towards (the GrEEEner trucking fuel efficiency initiative) here in Manitoba.”\nShaw would like to see the current federal mandate for biodiesel removed as well, saying it’s definitely hurting the industry. He doesn’t appear to be wearing rose-coloured glasses about it actually happening, though.\n“As much as we would love to see it removed, I don’t think that’s a practical reality, so we’re focusing on (convincing the province to not) raise the biodiesel mandate and hoping they will partner with us on our alternative program.”\nHe noted the MTA is actually supportive of alternative fuels, saying “We’ve got members who are dabbling with natural gas and other considerations, but the problem we have with biodiesel is that in its current form it doesn’t meet our needs.”\nThe MTA’s official stance on biodiesel is that it has to cost the same as, or less than, diesel, provide energy equal to or greater than that of diesel, produce tangible environment benefits compared to diesel, meet Canadian standards, be acceptable to the engine OEMs and not impact the equipment negatively. “Biodiesel one doesn’t tick any of those boxes,” Shaw said.\nOn the other hand, while he believes biodiesel two won’t hurt the engines and could produce tangible environmental benefits, the fact that it costs a lot more than diesel is a deal-breaker.\n“We’re not talking a couple of pennies different, he said. “We’re talking 40% difference or more and, while it’s got greater energy than biodiesel one, there’s still about 6% less energy content than traditional diesel. So (when you add all that up), we’re looking at $13- or $14-million in additional cost to industry, at a time when the alternative – the GrEEEner trucking fuel efficiency initiative – is going to only cost industry a couple of million dollars annually and helps us reduce our fuel consumption, which means reduced fuel costs.”\nShaw said the GrEEEner initiative will be better both environmentally and economically as well as costing less to implement, calling it “a real win-win-win situation.”\nHe said that’s the main reason why, when the MTA eventually got the province to the table, “they kind of recognized that and said they have to give it some really serious consideration.”\nThe message from Manitoba right now, then, is “Stay tuned.”", "label": "No"}
{"text": "SMM News: in recent years, under the action of environmental protection and limited production, blast furnace ironmaking continues to increase the amount of scrap steel, some enterprises blast furnace scrap amount has reached 300kg / ton. At the same time, the consumption of scrap steel in converter is also increasing, and converter is still the main body of scrap steel consumption. According to statistics, in 2018, the amount of scrap steel consumed by key statistical units in converters was 58.275 million tons, an increase of 13.0562 million tons over 2017. At present, the proportion of scrap steel used in converter is 9.38%, which has not reached the ideal state of 15% to 20%. There is still great potential for converter steelmaking to increase the amount of scrap steel.\nJudging from the consumption of scrap steel by electric furnace, in 2018, the amount of scrap steel consumed by electric furnace in key statistical units was 16.5917 million tons, an increase of 2.3787 million tons over 2017. The output of EAF steel was 38.0237 million tons, an increase of 8.56% over 2017, accounting for 5.41% of the steel output of key statistical units (EAF steel ratio). The production cost of electric furnace is higher than that of converter. In the future, the electric furnace process should improve the technical level of secondary metallurgy (refining) and produce high, fine and pointed products in order to meet the demand of various industries for high quality steel and replace imports. In order to improve the stability of EAF steel quality, we should start with the quality stability of scrap steel and implement the fine material policy.\nAt present, China actually consumes more than 140 million tons of scrap steel every year. Due to the scope of statistics, the current statistics are on the low side. In addition, the production of social scrap is also increasing year by year. In 2018, China produced 78.3231 million tons of scrap steel, an increase of 15.3255 million tons over 2017. However, as 65 per cent of our steel is used for capital construction (housing and transportation) and the cycle of scrap returning to society is long, scrap production will not increase significantly in recent years. It is estimated that the amount of scrap steel resources in China will reach 209.6 million tons in 2020, 272.2 million tons in 2025 and 346 million tons in 2030.\nAt present, there are mainly four problems in China's scrap steel industry: first, the processing capacity of scrap steel processing standard enterprises accounts for only 30% of the total amount of social scrap steel, which is far from the demand of iron and steel industry; Second, the overall equipment level of scrap steel processing is on the low side, and a large number of disassembly lines such as waste cars have not yet been established; third, there is a lack of reliable classification statistical data of scrap steel resources and technical standards of scrap processing products. Fourth, the tax policy of scrap steel import and processing and distribution enterprises is not conducive to the recovery and utilization of scrap steel. Therefore, the scrap industry should aim at the above problems, improve the management level of scrap, implement fine management, scientific processing and classified sales, so as to meet the needs of all kinds of users.\n\"Click to enter the registration page\nScan QR code and apply to join SMM metal exchange group, please indicate company + name + main business", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Surflogic: gear that improves the surfing experience\nOur first encounter with surf brand Surflogic was when we heard about their wetsuit dryer – a tool most surfers who live in cooler climates have fantasised about owning. Putting on a cold, wet, wetsuit is about as much fun as Monday morning traffic and Surflogic created a robust, proven solution to this surfing dilemma. But they didn’t stop there.\nSurflogic’s product range includes tools and accessories designed to improve all aspects of the surfing experience – with a real focus on what happens before you paddle out and after you return to land. They’ve identified pain points in the surfing experience: wet wetsuits, wet car seats, secure storage of car keys, getting dry, keeping things dry – and they’ve invented a range of innovative solutions.\nRecently, the World Surf League has used Surflogic products at several CT events in Australia, Spain and Portugal. In 2021, there were Surflogic double system wetsuit hangers available at multiple events, and their wetsuit dryers were available to competitors before and between heats at the WA events at Margaret River and Rottnest Island. Paddling out warm and dry means your core temperature will remain higher for longer, ensuring you don’t max out your resources too early in the session.\nTable of Contents\nSurflogic was established in 2005 in the Basque Country (Spain), with a focus on manufacturing lock boxes used to keep car keys safe. In 2018 they developed the first wetsuit dryer – able to dry wetsuits in just 20 minutes – as well as a range of hanger systems for storing and drying wetsuits, booties, gloves and accessories.\nSurflogic was founded by Javier Gonzalez Vega who, during a surf trip to the Gold Coast in Australia, was inspired by Aussie surf culture and saw opportunities for creating tools and accessories that would improve all aspects of the surf lifestyle.\nThe Surflogic HQ and development center is located on the coast of the Basque Country (Spain) on the border with France, close to some of the best European waves. This is a perfect environment in which to surfing inventions to extreme cold, hot summers, sea salt, icy winds and unforgettable road trips. The Surflogic mission is to develop and offer the best products to customers, to improve the everyday life of surfers and water sports enthusiasts.\nSurflogic Australia is the authorised retailer, distributor, & wholesaler of Surflogic Hardware in Australia & New Zealand. They bring a comprehensive range of Surflogic products downunder and we were excited to receive a few products to try out here at Surfd HQ. See the roundup below.\nAs an organisation, they’re working hard to minimise plastic packaging by providing sustainable cardboard alternatives. They’ve also joined the Dollar Donation Club which means that every purchase made from Surflogic Australia will contribute funds towards removing plastic from the ocean.\nWe decided to review three products that we believed would improve our surfing lives. Being in New Zealand for most of the year means we need to wear wetsuits most of the time. Therefore, efficient drying of neoprene assumes unusual importance in the life of your average surf-hungry, weather-hardened surf warrior.\nWhile reviewing the Surflogic range we even discovered that we’ve been hanging things wrong. Stop using that coat-hanger that comes with your wetsuit. It is time for change…\n1. The Surflogic Wetsuit Hanger\nThis is a heavy-duty blue coloured hanger that is designed to dry wetsuits the proper way. What is the proper way, you ask? Don’t hang your wet wetsuit the same way as you hang a shirt in your wardrobe. Why? Because it places significant strain on the shoulder seams, ultimately stretching the wetsuit from the bottom up. The Surflogic Wetsuit Hanger is designed to enable you to fold the wetsuit in half, which means water drains from both ends. It also ensures that there are less stress points in the neoprene. You can of course hang your wetsuit on this hanger the traditional way once it is dry – making this a truly versatile, purpose-built product for surfers. We were fortunate to receive a Surflogic Strap Carabiner which we attached to our hanger, meaning that we can suspend our wetsuits from virtually anywhere – a railing in the garage, a tree, a fence – all without worrying about the wetsuit blowing away.\nI paired my new O’Neill Hyperfreak with the Surflogic Wetsuit Hanger and was stoked to discover the wetsuit almost completely dry just 3 hours after surfing. The Hyperfreak is a quick-drying suit (even the 4/3 model) and the Surflogic hanger is a perfect companion. Both the carabiner and the standard hanger hook swivel 360 degrees, meaning that the suit can rotate with the wind, speeding up the drying process.\nWe believe that using this product will extend the life of your wetsuit (and all of your future wetsuits), making it a great purchase from a sustainability perspective.\n2. Surflogic Wetsuit Accessory Hanger\nIf you’ve ever surfed in cold water (say, under 16 degrees Celcius or 61 degrees Farenheit) you’ve probably considered wrapping up in more than just a wetsuit. Items like booties, gloves and even hoods can improve the surfing experience. They enable you to withstand the elements for longer by keeping your extremities (somewhat) warmer. However, these items are fiddly and often end up in your wet bag, surf box or outside on the verandah, where they remain wet and soggy until the next surf. Imagine a drying rack designed specifically for accessories so that you can quickly and easily get them ready for your next session. That solution was devised by the team at Surflogic in the form of the Wetsuit Accessory Hanger.\nThis product rotates 360 degrees, has a removable hook (enabling you to use the Carabiner system) and can even stand up by itself on the ground. Simply twist out the base and you’ve got a bootie rack that looks tidy whether you’re at home or somewhere seriously intrepid. The side hangers are long enough for the longest surf boots and the smaller spikes can easily support gloves, hoods or other wet gear. You’ll probably find yourself using this genius hanger for other wet gear – swimsuits, snorkelling equipment, even water camera gear that needs to be dried out.\n3. The Key Security Lock Box with LED Light\nMany years ago we reviewed some lock boxes on Surfd and while they worked acceptably they weren’t really purpose-buit for attaching to cars. The Surflogic Lock Box is designed to protect your vehicle while also securing your keys. We love the rubber-coated shackle and thick foam backing, both of which prevent scraping on the car exterior.\nThis lock box is designed to open easily outwards. This is cool because when you’ve got cold fingers you really want minimal fuss after your surf. The lock combination is covered by a protective plastic cover and the LED light model includes a button that, when pressed, lights up the numbers. These guys know the pains of surfing past sunset. If you have an electronic key for your vehicle, we highly recommend getting one of these lock boxes. Surflogic include an aluminium pouch to further protect your keys from rain and bad weather.\nWhere do you attach the lock box? Anywhere there is a secure anchor point. It could be the door handle, a suspension coil or the axle towing eye. The benefit of the LED light is that you can now attach the lock beneath the car without worrying about visibility issues when entering your combination.\nWith car seat covers, surf ponchos, waterproof bags and, of course, the wetsuit hangers and dryer, Surflogic is the answer to “what more does a surfer need?”\nIf you happen to be purchasing a gift for the surfer in your life then you can let them choose with a Surflogic gift card.", "label": "No"}

It doesn't take up nearly as much space, in part because it doesn't come with a grinder, but this pared-down simplicity is what gives it charm and beauty. It's also what gives you room to play around with settings and really learn how to dial in your shots.\nThis is the machine for those who really care about the craft of making espresso.\nTo use the parlance of our times, it's old school, and it's hardly much of an update on the old machine, which is why we like it so much. Gaggia is a classic name in espresso, and there's a reason why the brand has stood the test of time: These machines make great coffee.\nGaggia kept the exact same brew head and portafilter it's always used, which it also places in commercial machines, along with the three-way solenoid valve that purges any residual steam or water after you stop the machine. That keeps your coffee from getting burnt by any stored steam or water in the chamber on the next shot. Other modifications are slight but appreciated: a frame that allows you to see how much water is left in the reservoir, a small silicone grip on the purge valve and the frother, and a simplified on/off switch and light setup.\nAlong with an updated boiler, this all adds up to one hardy machine that offers you manual control over exactly how your shot turns out. This is your transition from an automatic to a manual transmission; the training wheels are off, and it's time for some real, unfettered fun.\nBelow, I'll walk you through every aspect of the Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine.\nThe design of the Gaggia Classic Pro\nThis machine looks like it belongs on your grandfather's kitchen countertop, which it may well have been (or still be); Gaggia has been making professional-quality espresso machines—in Italy—for the home since they introduced the Gaggia Baby in 1977.\nWrapped in brushed stainless steel, it doesn't look half-bad. It's got a classic look that might come across as somewhat kitschy in a modern home, but only if you're being fussy about it.\nIt's a fairly tiny little thing, not much (if at all) bigger than many pod machines. Also keep in mind that it costs only a tad more than most pod machines, and in some cases less. But it doesn't come with a built-in burr grinder, which is not only pricey but equally cumbersome within your kitchen. So if you plan on any espresso machine of this size, figure you'll have to double the space it's going to take up because a good burr grinder is nearly just as big.\nThe one thing I don't like about the design is that the wrapped stainless steel frame has some sharp, exposed edges, and if you're ever bleary-eyed and having trouble fitting your portafilter into the brew head early (or late) in the day, you might slip and lose a small chunk of your knuckle. Still, it looks great.\nThis machine is almost foolproof. There are only three two-way switches and a dial to turn the frother on and off. The largely plastic-free machine is compact and wrapped with brushed stainless steel housing. I, for one, don't have a lot of counter space in my kitchen, and while you still have to have a burr grinder (or buy pre-ground coffee, which we don't recommend because you're beginning to defeat the purpose of this nice machine), I've found it a lot easier to have this small machine and a grinder off to the side or on the window sill so that I don't have a big swathe of space eaten up right in the middle of (or anywhere on) my counter.\nFeatures that make this a more professional machine are the 1600 watts of power (equivalent to the Breville Barista Express, our favorite espresso machine in our full guide), a three-way solenoid valve that prevents pressure from building up in the group head, which makes things a lot cleaner, and even less dangerous. Without one, taking the portafilter out too soon can result in a scalding spray of soppy espresso grounds, or stored water in the group head, which could also mean coffee grounds getting up in there, necessitating a cleaning. (Here's a good guide to cleaning Gaggia's Classic (and Pro), and one by Gaggia on how to descale your machine.)\nThe steam wand is not particularly special one way or another, but hang on: That's a good thing. Switch off the group head valve, switch on the steam valve, wait for the light to turn on, blow out any excess water in the chamber (preferably over the drain reservoir in the machine), and you're ready to go. Turning the valve one way engages it and increases the pressure, and going in reverse eases and shuts it off. We've found that the more complicated a frother, the less likely we are to use it, and while there are all sorts of fancy ones out there, good pressure from a powerful machine is all you really need. The less that can go wrong the better. Again, just make sure to switch off the group head valve (middle switch) before priming the frother (right switch).\nYou can also tell that the solenoid is working when, after finishing pulling a shot (that is, turning off the middle switch), you see a little water running from the purge valve to the left of the group head.\nThere's also a warming plate on top (more or less standard), a full-sized 58mm portafilter with pressurized and non-pressurized baskets (the latter for pre-ground espresso or pods), and a stainless steel drip tray with an easy-to-remove reservoir for collecting overflow and spillage.\nEssentially you've got everything you need and nothing you don't, which is exactly what you want with an espresso machine that's already consuming counter space — something of which we could all use a little more.\nThe set-up and brewing processes\nThe Gaggia Classic Pro comes more or less set up for you. Make sure to clean out the water reservoir with soap before inserting it into place in the base of the machine (you can either remove it to fill or pour from the top, which is much more convenient than you might think).\nBefore you ever get going on prepping your shot, make sure to turn the power switch on. This gets the machine ready, but if you put the portafilter in during this stage, it'll warm that up, too. Espresso can turn sour when it's made cold, and if the scalding water from the boiler hits a cold portafilter, it'll likely come out like there's an overload of citrus in it. I like that, for some strange reason, but I'm weird in that way.\nNext, you want to insert the portafilter basket that corresponds with the type of coffee you'll use (pre-ground and/or ESE pod, or freshly ground). Just make sure you use the little plastic riser piece if you're going to use one of the pressurized baskets.\nOnce your portafilter is ready to go, grind your coffee (if you're grinding your own) and load up the basket. Remember, grind size and tamping are two key components, and what works with one blend (or even batch) may not work with the next, so you'll have to clue in on what works each time. Same goes for brew time, but that's some next-level stuff that even most (relative) snobs like myself don't dare approach. Most espressos are going to require roughly 30-40 pounds of tamping pressure and between about 20 and 35 seconds of brew time, but while 35 seconds might nearly incinerate one type of coffee, it could be just right for another. Play around with dialing in your machine and your coffee. This should be part of the fun, after all.\nLock your portafilter into the brew head and, if the light beneath the brew switch is on, that means the machine is primed and ready. Flip it, and delight in the caramel-colored tonic that lackadaisically runs in two perfectly even streams into your demitasse. If the stream is but a slow trickle, your grind size (for that particular bean, remember) is either too fine, or you've tamped it with too much force. (Pro tip: use a small measuring cup or a demitasse with measurements on it to learn how much of an extraction you like.)\nAnd, again, remember to have some fun and play around. Talk to any good barista and you'll be appalled at how much coffee they dump out just to get their machines and beans going right in the morning. Two-time UK Cup Tasting Champion (also 8th in the World Cup Tasting Championship in 2013) barista master Jason Gonzalez once told me that he often spends up to half an hour dialing shots every morning at his Burlington, VT espresso shop Onyx Tonics.\nThe frothing process\nMy favorite thing about the Gaggia Classic Pro, especially compared with similar machines, is that the steaming wand is manually adjustable (using the knob, right of center in the image above).\nOn some machines, like the Breville Barista Express, the steam is either on or off, and \"on\" produces a high-pitched screech that's reminiscent of a squealing swine. While testing in the office, you can only imagine the glares I received from the room next door, where an executive meeting was taking place.\nThis feature, I might add, is especially handy for frothing various sorts of milk, which all have their own consistencies and boiling points.\nThis, in effect, is a real, bona fide espresso machine. You have to remember to turn it off, and you don't want to have the brew and steam switches on at the same time, which is just part of the responsibility of owning a professional-grade espresso machine. You'll get used to it, and the budding barista within you will be all the better for it.\nThe only limitation of the steam wand, which is still my favorite out of any frother-equipped machines I've tested, is that it's not gimballed, like on the Breville Barista Express. You're confined to working with specific angles, and purging it of excess water requires either awkwardly placing a glass underneath or twisting it around so that it spills into the drip reservoir. In all, not a big deal.\nThe only true issue I have with the Gaggia Classic Pro, and the original line before it, is that the stainless steel housing has unfinished corners, leaving hazardously jagged edges. I've been testing one for a few weeks now, and twice (being hapless, mind you) I've missed locking in the portafilter and jammed my thumb right into one of those corners, taking a nice little bite of my knuckle. Be a little more careful than I am (not difficult) and you'll be fine.

{"text": "LoRa has been making quite a stir in hacker circles over the past couple of years, as it offers a fascinating combination of long range, low power, and low cost. It does this by using spread spectrum techniques on unlicensed frequency bands, meaning it can send data a surprising distance and that you don’t need a radio license to use it. It is mainly used for Internet of Things things, but [Paweł Spychalski] has other ideas: he’s building a system to use it to control a quadcopter drone over distances of 5 kilometers or more. That’s an ambitious aim, considering that the parts he is using cost only a few bucks.\nHe’s using an off-brand Adafruit Feather LoRa board and a couple of home-made antennas with his own software that takes the data from the Taranis control port of the RC controller, encodes it and chirps it out over the LoRa radio. At the other end, a similar radio receives and decodes the data, feeding it out to the drone.\nThis is definitely still a work in progress, but he has got it working, flying his drone over the link, keeping control of it out to several hundred meters. At the moment, he can’t go much further as it seems that his LoRa radio is being overwhelmed by the video link on the drone, but he is working on changing the frequency spread & hopping and using a better antenna to provide longer range. We’ve seen some interesting stuff from [Pawel] before, like his DIY telemetry system, so this project is worth keeping an eye on if you are a drone fan.\nContinue reading “LoRa System Commands Drones From A Distance”\nHow many of your projects been spawned purely out of bored daydreaming? For want of something more productive to do, [dantheflipman] hacked a standard LED bulb from Wal-Mart into a smart bulb.\nAfter pulling it apart, they soldered wires to the threaded socket and added a connector for a Hi-Link hlk-pm01 power module. The output caps at 5 V and 600 mA, but who says this was going to be a searchlight? A Wemos D1 Mini clone slides nicely beside the power module, and stacked on top is a NeoPixel Jewel 7. [dantheflipman] admits he has yet to add a capacitor to ahead of the Jewel, so we’ll see how long the LEDs last. Crammed back together, the bulb is controlled via a prototype Blynk app. Good enough for a quick hack.\n[dantheflipman] is upfront about messing with mains voltages: don’t do it unless you absolutely know what you’re doing. In this case, he has taken care with their soldering and epoxied all wire and solder joints to be sure nothing will come loose and short, and a ‘stress test’ is forthcoming.\nSmart bulbs are cool no matter how you slice it, so a little more insight into how smart bulbs work with some of the nitty gritty that goes into hacking them might sate your thirst for knowledge.\nWe use the Internet to do everything from filing our taxes to finding good pizza, but most critically it fulfills nearly all of our communication needs. Unfortunately, this reliance can be exploited by those pulling the strings; if your government is trying to do something shady, the first step is likely to be effecting how you can communicate with the outside world. The Internet is heavily censored and monitored in China, and in North Korea the entire country is effectively running on an intranet that’s cutoff from the wider Internet. The need for decentralized information services and communication is very real.\nWhile it might not solve all the world’s communication problems, [::vtol::] writes in to tell us about a very interesting communication device he’s been working on that he calls “Hot Ninja”. Operating on the principle that users might be searching for accessible Wi-Fi networks in a situation where the Internet has been taken down, Hot Ninja allows the user to send simple messages through Wi-Fi SSIDs.\nWe’ve all seen creatively named Wi-Fi networks before, and the idea here is very much the same. Hot Ninja creates a Wi-Fi network with the user’s message as the SSID in hopes that somebody on a mobile device will see it. The SSID alone could be enough depending on the situation, but Hot Ninja is also able to serve up a basic web page to devices which actually connect. In the video after the break, [::vtol::] even demonstrates some rudimentary BBS-style functionality by presenting the client devices with a text field, the contents of which are saved to a log file.\nIn terms of hardware, Hot Ninja is made up of an Arduino Mega coupled to three ESP8266 boards, and a battery to keep it all running for up to eight hours so you can subvert a dictatorship while on the move. The user interface is provided by a small OLED screen and a keyboard made entirely of through-hole tactile switches, further reinforcing the trope that touch-typing will be a must have skill in the dystopian future. It might not be the most ergonomic device we’ve ever seen, but the fact it looks like something out of a Neal Stephenson novel more than makes up for it in our book.\nThis is not the first time we’ve seen Wi-Fi SSIDs used as a method of communication, thanks largely to how easy the ESP8266 makes it. For his part, [::vtol::] has previously experimented with using them to culturally enrich the masses.\nContinue reading “A Mobile Terminal for Guerrilla Communications”\nThere’s something iconic about dish antennas. Chances are it’s the antenna that non-antenna people think about when they picture an antenna. And for many applications, the directionality and gain of a dish can really help reach out and touch someone. So if you’re looking to tap into a distant WiFi network, this umbrella-turned-dish antenna might be just the thing to build.\nStretching the limits of WiFi connections seems to be a focus of [andrew mcneil]’s builds, at least to judge by his YouTube channel. This portable, foldable dish is intended to increase the performance of one of his cantennas, a simple home-brew WiFi antenna that uses food cans as directional waveguides. The dish is built from the skeleton of an umbrella-style photographer’s flash reflector; he chose this over a discount-store rain umbrella because the reflector has an actual parabolic shape. The reflective material was stripped off and used as a template to cut new gores of metal window screen material. It’s considerably stiffer than the reflector fabric, but it stretches taut between the ribs and can still fold up, at least sort of. An arm was fashioned from dowels to position the cantenna feed-horn at the focus of the reflector; not much detail is given on the cantenna itself, but we assume it’s similar in design to cantennas we’ve featured before.\n[andrew] hasn’t done rigorous testing yet, but a quick 360° scan from inside his shop showed dozens of WiFi signals, most with really good signals. We’ll be interested to see just how much this reflector increases the cantenna’s performance.\nContinue reading “Umbrella and Tin Cans Turned into WiFi Dish Antenna”\nThe old maxim is that if you pay peanuts, you get a monkey. That’s no longer true, though: devices like the Raspberry Pi W have shown that a $10 device can be remarkably powerful if it is well designed. You might not appreciate how clever this design is sometimes, but this great analysis of the antenna of the Pi W by [Carl Turner, Senior RF Engineer at Laird Technology] might help remind you.\nContinue reading “Raspberry Pi W Antenna Analysis Reveals Clever Design”\nIf you want to retrofit your home with smart outlets and lightbulbs, bust out your wallet. You can easily spend forty dollars for a smart light bulb at your local home supply store, and strips of smart sockets could cost sixty. When [coogle] found a WiFi-enabled four-outlet power strip on Amazon, he couldn’t resist. Sure, the no-name strip would be locked down behind a stupid iPhone interface and will probably turn your house into a botnet, but never mind that: you can easily reprogram these power strips to be whatever you want.\nAfter receiving these power strips and tearing them open, [coogle] found exactly what you would expect from a no-name white goods manufacturer. There’s a board with an Espressif chip and a WiFi antenna, and a second board with a few relays, with a few wires connecting the two. You only need to browse AliExpress for a few minutes to figure out what’s going on here. The brains of the outfit are in the ESP8266, and if you can control that, you have your own Internet of Power Strips.\nThe problem, then, was reprogramming the ESP8266. This was a version of the chip [coogle] hadn’t seen before, but a quick query with the Google Mother Brain revealed it was a WT8266-S1 module, with all the pins required for programming easily accessible on a convenient header. After connecting this header up to an ESP programming board, [coogle] had all the relevant information including the capacity of the Flash. There’s still a bit more work to make this a functional WiFi power outlet, namely figuring out which GPIOs and wires connect to which relays, but this is effectively a completely Open IoT device right now. All you have to do is bring your own firmware.\nIf you want to blink a ton of WS2812-alike LED pixels over WiFi, the hardware side of things is easy enough: an LED strip, and ESP8266 unit, and a beefy enough power supply to feed them. But the software side — that’s where it can be a bit of a pain.\nEnter Mc Lighting. It makes the software side of things idiot-proof. Flash the firmware onto the ESP8266, and you’ve got your choice of REST, WebSockets, or MQTT to get the data in. This means that it’ll work with Homekit, NodeRed, or an ESP-hosted web interface that you can pull up from any smartphone.\nThe web interface is particularly swell, and has a bunch of animations built in. (Check out the video below.) This means that you can solder some wires, flash an ESP, and your least computer-savvy relatives can be controlling the system in no time. And speaking of videos, Mc Lighting’s author [Tobias] has compiled a playlist of projects that use the library, also just below. The docs on GitHub are great, and also check out the wiki.\nSo what are you waiting for? Do you or your loved ones need some blink in your life? And while you’re ordering LED strips, get two. You’re going to want to build TWANG! as well.\nContinue reading “Mc Lighting Takes the Pain out of Blinking”", "label": "No"}

One of the best things about a zero lawn mower is that you do not need to waste too much time in mowing the lawn. This mower does not need you to put in too much effort either.

The push lawn more used to take more than two to three hours to mow the lawn depending on the size of the lawn.

If we had a choice, we wouldn’t do it but then germs and dirt would mess up with our health and we wouldn’t enjoy staying in our homes. Vacuuming is supposed to sanitise the air we draw in to our lungs by removing dirt in our surroundings. That is why we do research and buy the best rated vacuum cleaner. However, the process of cleaning the vacuum cleaner exposes us to many health risks. What counts is how the collected dirt is stored inside the machine. The collecting system of regular vacuums divides them in to those with a dust bag and those without one. If you are allergic to dust, you need a vacuum that won’t expose you to the dust at any point.\nBanking on the vacuum filtration system\nThe best rated vacuum cleaner counts for nothing if the filtration system is weak. Vacuums with ultra-low penetration filters trap debris particles as small as 0.12 micrometres from getting back in to the air. Those with high efficiency particulate air filters trap dust particles as small as 0.3 micrometers. Both filter systems are very costly but a good investment on your health.\nA central vacuum system is your best bet if you want to keep the dirt out of your house without dealing with emptying dust bags. A long pipe fitted to the vacuum collects the dirt and dumps it in to another source outside your home. The system is designed in such a way that dirt doesn’t get back inside your home. Some homes already have them but if you can always get it done by plumbers.\nInstead of tossing away your user manual the moment you buy the vacuum, check for information about the filter. Any filter above one micrometre won’t do your allergy any good.\nThere are a number of people who believe that spray foam insulation is expensive which is why they shy away from it.

Here's his piece, titled \"U.S. is a Suicidal Superpower\": http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/24/beck.oil.prices/ Curious, I did a search on synthetic fuel and came across this: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JZS/is_24_22/ai_n24996859/pg_1 According to this and many other similar articles, technology to convert coal (of which we have an over-abundance) into liquid fuel has been around for about 80 years. And new technology makes that conversion much more efficient to the point where it would be profitable if oil reaches $39-$44 per barrel (as of now, it's around $115-$119). This new technology also converts it so that it burns cleaner than diesel with less particulates, and no engine modifications are needed for internal combustion engines to run it. Although a different resource and different technology, in a somewhat similar vein is the new in-situ technology Shell and Oxy have developed for oil shale, another overly-abundant resource our country has. Here are some interesting articles about its promise: http://www.accesstoenergy.com/view/atearchive/s76a3668.htm http://www.dailyreckoning.com/rpt/OilShale.html SO WHY ARE WE NOT TAKING MORE ADVANTAGE OF THESE RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGIES AND WEANING OURSELVES OFF OF FOREIGN OIL? Why do we continue to transfer our nation's wealth to foreign countries that hate us? What the heck is going on? I can understand that the oil shale in-situ technology is still somewhat experimental. So perhaps it's a bit premature to get our hopes up too high for that alternative. But the coal-to-liquid synthetic fuel sounds much more promising, unless I'm missing something? Only thing I can think of is the greenhouse gas concerns with the coal-to-synth fuel, but what would be so different than what we have now with regular crude and gasoline consumption? Anyone else in the industry or with knowledge on this care to expound?", "label": "No"}

{"text": "In golfer’s elbow, tiny tears occur in the forearm tendon, which can lead to pain, a dull ache, stiffness, numbness, tingling down to the fingers and a weakened grip. Symptoms may start as mild and worsen over time – both during movement as well as at rest.\nOne common treatment for both golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow is wearing a brace, strap or sleeve, which provides additional support to the joint and thereby reduces the stress on the forearm muscles and tendons. Braces also disperse forces where the tendon attaches to the elbow joint, which can decrease irritation to allow recovery.\nGolfer's Elbow Braces, Sleeves and StrapsBraces, straps and sleeves function similarly and are sold over the counter at a range of price points. One isn’t necessarily better than the other, and you’ll likely find different opinions about which type is the most effective. Here’s a brief overview of each type of external support.\n- Strap – This minimalist option provides freedom of movement. Worn around the forearm just below the elbow to change the angle at which the forearm tendon works, some have a pressure pad that is placed on the forearm muscle just below the pain point.\n- Epicondylitis clasp – Like straps, these plastic clasps fit around the arm, with a pressure point over the muscle under the pain point to absorb forces and change the angle at which the tendon works to help relieve symptoms. They restrict movement more than a strap, need to be fitted correctly and typically are priced higher.\n- Sleeve – Available with or without a strap, sleeves are designed to support the entire elbow, as well as above and below it, so they may feel more cumbersome and affect movement. They can compress and warm the area to reduce swelling and minimize muscle soreness, especially after activity. Some also have an ice pack or can be placed in the freezer for cold therapy after activity.\n- Compression pad – Smaller than a full brace but larger than a strap, the compression pad offers stabilization, helps keep muscles relaxed and allows for a lot of movement.\nGolfer's Elbow Brace ConsiderationsWhen researching golfer’s elbow braces, consider the following:\n- Ease of use – Some tight compression braces may be difficult to put on yourself, and you may need assistance. Note how easy it is to clean as well.\n- Comfort – While the brace is intended to foster joint stability, it shouldn’t cause additional pain, throbbing or numbness. It should come in different sizes and/or be adjustable for a custom fit. And the brace must be comfortable so you can maintain your golf swing and everyday activities.\n- Material – Many braces are made with neoprene or nylon spandex for breathability and to wick away moisture, as well as resistance to becoming stretched out.\n- Effectiveness – How well does it work? Seek professional and personal recommendations and read reviews. Is there a fair return policy or satisfaction guarantee?\n- Durability – Is the product sturdy and well-made, or does it look like it might fall apart or stretch out after a few rounds in the washing machine?\n- Warranty – Is the product supported by a good warranty so that you can test it and return it if it doesn’t help? A minimum 30-day warranty is recommended.\n- Cost – Although you tend to get what you pay for, you don’t need to spend $100+ for a good golfer’s elbow brace. Prices range considerably, so choose what fits your budget, but keep in mind that if it doesn’t help or falls apart, you’ll have to buy an alternative.\nHave a physical therapist or healthcare professional show you how to wear the brace, or review online videos to guide you.\nBest Golfer's Elbow BracesWhen it comes to the best golfer’s elbow braces, opinions vary, and there aren’t necessarily right or wrong choices. Ultimately, the best golfer’s elbow brace is the one that you prefer and that helps you feel better.\nKeep in mind that all braces, straps and sleeves should be used as a supplement to a more comprehensive treatment that addresses the root cause of golfer’s elbow. By themselves, they can provide short-term relief but typically aren’t capable of healing the injured tendon and totally eradicating golfer’s elbow.\nThe Fiix Elbow Program has a proven track record to relieve golfer's elbow pain and the best part is you're able to treat the injury at home. The Fiix Elbow Program is a combination of using the Fiix Elbow device for 10 minutes, 3x a week and specific stretching and strength exercises that make the tendon more pliable and strong.", "label": "No"}

AWARDS 202013-12-2019\nSsangYong Motors UK is delighted that its go-anywhere Musso pick-up has been highly commended by WhatVan? at its annual award ceremony today in London.\n“The SsangYong Musso might not yet be a big name in this segment, but it impressed our judges by being a solid performer offered with extremely competitive pricing” said James Dallas, Editor at What Van?\n“A double-cab only, it is based on the same platform as SsangYong’s Rexton SUV, and offers a high level of spec, a well laid out cabin with decent storage, selectable four-wheel drive, and impressive on-road driving manners, the latter helped by a keen and responsive 2.2-litre, 181hp diesel engine, which produces 420Nm of torque.” Dallas confirmed.\nThe Musso pick-up, which arrived in the UK last year has disrupted the fast-growing pick-up market as a tough, strong and value-for-money proposition. Built on the same architecture as the SsangYong Rexton, which has already been awarded ‘4x4 of the Year’ by 4x4 magazine, Musso shares its body-on-frame construction to give an extremely strong vehicle that delivers excellent off-road driving performance and safety from its quad-frame and four-wheel-drive system.\nDesigned to carry passengers in comfort and transport loads securely, the SUV-based Musso combines a five-seat crew-cab body style with a workman-like load deck that will take a full-sized Euro pallet. Importantly, it also carries a payload of over 1-tonne and tows trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes concurrently to give the highest total load capacity in the segment. This combination of utility pick-up and SUV means Musso offers the perfect blend of functionality, practicality, performance and comfort to the driver and family or workmates.\nInside, Musso is exceptionally well equipped compared with other pick-ups, and as well as offering excellent shoulder and leg room front and rear. DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity feature across the range, while all but the entry level model feature a state-of-the-art infotainment system that includes an 8-inch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Wi-fi mirroring, or 9.2-inch screen with TomTom navigation on top line models.\nNick Laird, managing director at SsangYong Motors UK, said; “We are delighted that Musso has been highly commended in the pick-up category at this years’ WhatVan? Awards. Musso has a growing collection of honours because it is practical, comfortable, packed with all latest driver assistance and connectivity technology, and is excellent value for money.”\nAs well as proving to be a highly competent multi-purpose truck with SsangYong values to the core, Musso has an industry leading 7-year/150,000-mile warranty.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "There's already a lot of calculation needed to figure out how efficient a vehicle is. Here in the U.S., the government tries to help by publishing official MPG numbers of the various models offered for sale. But these numbers just muddy things up, say two management professors - Richard Larrick and Jack Soll - over at Duke University. Thinking in terms of miles per gallon doesn't give people a good understanding of a vehicle's real efficiency when compared to other vehicles.\nIn Europe, for example, mileage figures are given in liters per kilometers. There are online calculators we can use to figure out what the MPG equivalents are, but the Duke profs think we should be moving to a gallons per mile model here in the U.S. That way, people might begin to see that trading a 14mpg SUV for a 21mpg hybrid version, for example, saves more fuel than trading in a 35mpg sedan for a 50mpg Prius. Right now, very few consumers realize this when they're out debating which car to buy. Sure, a Prius burns less fuel than a SUV hybrid over the same distance, no question, but there's something to be said for the seemingly mediocre fuel economy improvements made in the low-mpg segments. From the pres release pasted after the jump:\n- Most people ranked an improvement from 34 to 50 mpg as saving more gas over 10,000 miles than an improvement from 18 to 28 mpg, even though the latter saves twice as much gas. (Going from 34 to 50 mpg saves 94 gallons; but from 18 to 28 mpg saves 198 gallons).\nThis is something we've pointed out on AutoblogGreen before, but we're glad to have some research on public (mis-)understanding of the numbers to refer back to in the future. The main point is that we need to prioritize getting the most inefficient vehicles off the road, not trying to get everyone into a hyper-efficient hybrid. You can listen to a three-minute interview with Richard Larrick on NPR.\nGallons Per Mile Would Help Car Shoppers Make Better Decisions\nDURHAM, N.C., June 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Posting a vehicle's fuel efficiency in \"gallons per mile\" rather than \"miles per gallon\" would help consumers make better decisions about car purchases and environmental impact, researchers from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business report in the June 20 issue of Science magazine.\nInspired by debates they had while carpooling in a hybrid car, management professors Richard Larrick and Jack Soll ran a series of experiments showing that the current standard, miles per gallon or mpg, leads consumers to believe that fuel consumption is reduced at an even rate as efficiency improves. People presented with a series of car choices in which fuel efficiency was defined in miles per gallon were not able to easily identify the choice that would result in the greatest gains in fuel efficiency.\nFor example, most people ranked an improvement from 34 to 50 mpg as saving more gas over 10,000 miles than an improvement from 18 to 28 mpg, even though the latter saves twice as much gas. (Going from 34 to 50 mpg saves 94 gallons; but from 18 to 28 mpg saves 198 gallons).\nThese mistaken impressions were corrected, however, when participants were presented with fuel efficiency expressed in gallons used per 100 miles rather than mpg. Viewed this way, 18 mpg becomes 5.5 gallons per 100 miles, and 28 mpg is 3.6 gallons per 100 miles -- an $8 difference today.\n\"The reality that few people appreciate is that improving fuel efficiency from 10 to 20 mpg is actually a more significant savings than improving from 25 to 50 mpg for the same distance of driving,\" Larrick said.\nSoll noted that replacing a large vehicle that gets 10 mpg with one that gets 20 mpg reduces gas use per 100 miles from 10 gallons to five, a 5-gallon savings. Replacing a small vehicle that gets 25 mpg with one that gets 50 mpg reduces gas use per 100 miles from 4 gallons to 2, a saving of only 2 gallons.\n\"Miles per gallon is misleading and can play tricks on our intuitions,\" Soll said.\n\"For families and other owners of more than one type of vehicle, the greatest fuel savings often comes from improving the efficiency of the less efficient car,\" Soll added. \"When fuel efficiency is expressed as gallons per 100 miles, it becomes clear which combination of cars will save a family the most gas.\n\"We believe that everyone should try to be as fuel efficient as possible. For some people, that may mean driving the most efficient car available, such as a small hybrid car, but for others it may mean finding the most efficient option possible within their chosen class of car,\" Soll said. \"There are significant savings to be had by improving efficiency by even two or three miles per gallon on inefficient cars, but because we communicate in miles per gallon, that savings is not immediately evident to consumers.\"\nThe authors recommend that consumer publications and car manufacturers list efficiency in terms of gallons per 10,000 miles driven, which is already the standard in many other countries. \"This measure makes it easy to see how much gas one might use in a given year of driving and how much gas, and money, can be saved by opting for a car with greater efficiency,\" Larrick said.\nLarrick and Soll's research was funded by Duke University.\nMiles Per Gallon Gallons Consumed per Gallons Consumed per\n100 Miles Driven 10,000 Miles Driven\n10 10.00 1,000\n15 6.67 667\n20 5.00 500\n25 4.00 400\n30 3.33 333\n35 2.86 286\n40 2.50 250\n45 2.22 222\n50 2.00 200\n[Source: Duke University, NPR]", "label": "No"}
{"text": "An API(Application Programming Interface) allows data exchange from one software to another. Every application nowadays majorly relies on APIs. Hence, API testing is critical and the product has to be tested thoroughly before rolling out to the end user.\nIt is the software testing practice that tests the APIs directly to ascertain if they meet the requirements for performance, security, functionality and dependability. An API is worthless if it can’t be depended upon, hence testing to validate its implementation is key. An API Test is a set of testing activities that consists of sending calls to the API, getting the result, and validating the response of the system against the definite input parameters. This is done to ensure that the API does what it is supposed to perform, manages the load, works across browsers/ OSs and devices.\nImage from https://www.tiempodev.com\nTypes of API Testing\nValidation testing is one of the steps in the development process. It verifies the aspects of the product, behavior and efficiency to validate the API.\nFunctional testing is a test of specific functions within the codebase. These tests are run to ensure that the API functions are within the expected parameters and errors are handled properly, when the results are outside of the expected parameters.\nUI testing is specifically concerned with the function of the UI for the API and its integral parts, whether that interface relies upon command-line endpoint calls or graphical in nature. It focuses more on the interface which ties into the API rather than the API itself. It provides an overview of the health, usability, and efficiency of both, the front and back ends.\nLoad testing is typically done after the completion of a specific unit or the whole codebase. Load testing monitors the app's performance at both normal and peak conditions. The test is in place to safeguard the effortless performance functioning of the software under real-life conditions.\n5. Security Testing\nThis testing ensures that the API implementation is secure form external threats. Security testing generally encompasses penetration and fuzz testing which works to authenticate encryption and access control for the user. It also entails additional steps including validation of encryption methodologies and validating the design of the access control solution for the API.\n6. Runtime/ Error Detection\nThis type of test is entirely concerned with the actual running of the API. This includes the implementation of manual or automated tests that work to expose glitches. Examples are resource leaks, exceptions, etc.\n7. Penetration Testing\nIt works as a simulated attack against your computer. This is an important test as it operates to find valid weaknesses that an attacker can take advantage of when the system is most vulnerable. In this type of test, the API is attacked by someone who has limited working knowledge of the API itself in order to assess the threat vector from an outside perspective. These attacks can be limited to certain functions, resources, or processes, or can target the entirety of the API and its constituent parts.\n8. Fuzz Testing\nIn fuzz testing, a vast amount of random data (referred to as \"noise\" or \"fuzz\") will be input into the system to detect any forced crashes or negative behaviors. This technique tests the API’s limits to prepare for the \"worst-case scenarios.\"\n9. Interoperability and WS Compliance Testing\nIt is only applicable for SOAP APIs. It generally checks for two fields of function. First: Interoperability between SOAP APIs is checked to examine whether the software can intermingled with other components without any compatibility issues. Second: compliance is checked to make sure standards like WS-Discovery, WS-Addressing, WS-Federation, WS-Security, WS-Policy, and WS-Trust are properly utilized and maintained.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "One of the most common problems with older homes is the development of cracks and holes in plaster walls and ceilings. Usually, the cracks aren’t indications of any more serious structural problems, but are unsightly at least and, at worst, can spread and worsen until the problem becomes so serious that it requires professional attention.\nThe best thing you can do to keep your plaster-walled home in good repair is stay on top of the little cracks and holes by spot-filling them as soon as they develop.\nAnd use a bit of homeowner foresight, too. Be careful with tools, furniture and appliances around your plaster walls. An ill-fitting window air conditioner can leak profusely into your plaster without a hint of a problem, until the plaster becomes saturated and starts to crumble, literally before your eyes!\nIf you own a plaster-walled home, you should always keep a few supplies on hand for emergency repairs, including:\n– spackling compound, pre-mixed paste or water-soluble powder\n– a flexible metal putty knife, with the blade about three inches wide\n– a metal plaster trowel to smooth the repair compound\n– a chisel to hack away old plaster when necessary, and\n– sandpaper, preferably fine-grit.\nIt’s always a good idea to keep a few clean paintbrushes on hand, too. You’ll always use at least one clean pail as well.\nThe two key ingredients that only you can supply to your plaster-repair project are patience and care. It’s not difficult, but can’t be rushed. Like painting, plastering requires a fairly methodical approach that, if violated, will produce flaking and peeling, and yet another do-over.\nSo save yourself time and trouble by doing it right the first time! Here’s how to fix a typical crack or hole:\n1. Prepare your mixture. Follow the directions on the package. Pre-mixed spackling compound and pastes are available at most hardware stores, and are much easier to use and less messy than water-soluble powders.\n2. Begin by widening the crack or hole. What you want to do is make a repair that essentially bonds the new plaster to the old, to produce a seamless and smooth wall. That means you’ll need to fuse the new with the old, from the inside out.\n3. Using your chisel and a clean, dry paintbrush, chip carefully at the crack or hole and immediately brush away dust and debris. Think of the opening you’re creating as an inverted pyramid. You want it to be wider at the bottom, nearer the lathe, than at the top. That way, the base of the plaster repair is wide and strong.\n4. When you’re satisfied that all of the broken plaster has been removed, wet your paintbrush in your pail of clean water, and saturate the repair area.\n5. Use your putty knife to scoop out a wad of spackling compound or whatever repair mixture you’ve chosen. Press the stuff deep into the opening, repeatedly, until the opening is filled.\n6. If you are repairing a large hole, you might need to make the repair in two batches. If so, you have to allow the first batch to dry completely before beginning the second patch. A metal trowel is handy for these bigger jobs.\n7. Spackling compound will shrink as it dries. You want to leave no air pockets or bubbles, so press down hard, moving your putty knife up, down, back and forth as you probe for a tight, solid seal. It’s best to overfill, then use your putty knife to scrape the excess off.\n8. Take your sandpaper and gently sand the new plaster patch entirely, making sure the repair is completely smooth and there are no ridges or bumps where the new patch meets the old wall.\n9. Check carefully as the plaster is drying. To ensure a smooth bond, wet the area slightly and press down on the trowel to smooth the damp patch to the wall.\n10. When the area is completely dry and you’re satisfied with the repair, simply paint or wallpaper to match the old wall. If you’ve been careful about your process, you’ll be enjoying your fabulous plaster walls for many years to come!", "label": "No"}

DVIGear is also demonstrating its comprehensive suite of end-to-end 4K (UHD) video distribution solutions at the show.\nDisplayNet: AV Connectivity – Redefined\nDisplayNet is a new platform for AV distribution that uses 10GbE technology to switch, extend and distribute uncompressed AV signals in real time with resolutions up to 4K (UHD). By leveraging 10GbE Ethernet technology, the DisplayNet platform offers increased scalability, versatility and reliability thanks to the enormous installed base of 10GbE hardware used in IT / data center applications around the world.\nFor almost a decade, AV Systems have been designed primarily around proprietary matrix switchers. While this switching technology has driven a wide range of innovations, there have been several drawbacks. Proprietary matrix switchers are expensive, they provide limited flexibility and scalability, and they require costly specialized support. Now, System designers and integrators can use DisplayNet™ to effortlessly distribute AV signals using standard off-the-shelf 10GbE network switches. DisplayNet supports a wide array of applications including Point-to-Point Extension and complex Matrix Switching, as well as Video Wall and MultiViewer (coming in 2016) displays.\nComprehensive Range of 4K Distribution Solutions\nAt InfoComm15 in Orlando, DVIGear is also exhibiting a complete range of 4K video distribution solutions designed and built to overcome the challenges of transporting signals at the high data rates required by 4K video. DVIGear’s MXP Series matrix switchers are non-blocking cross-platform switchers that are completely modular. Several frame sizes are available enabling I/O arrays from 8×8 up to 80×80. Using a high-speed digital routing engine, the MXP Series can easily support 4K /30p signals simply by installing the available 4K I/O cards shipping since 2013. These cards are field-proven and are capable of routing 4K signals over fiber, twisted pair, and copper connections.\nDVIGear will also show the DVI-3580a, which supports switching, scaling and MultiViewing of video signals at resolutions up to 4K /30p. This high-performance, low-cost unit includes 4x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort, and 1x VGA/Component input as well as 1x HDMI and 1x HDBaseT™ output. Four user-selectable windowing modes are available. It also supports other advanced features such as audio embedding and de-embedding, as well as EDID management capabilities all at $2,250 MSRP.\nDVIGear will also exhibit a wide range of 4K video signal extension technologies. Among these are DVIGear’s long-reach copper cables, CAT-X twisted pair extenders, and fiber optic extenders. The SHR™ Series HDMI and DVI copper cables support 4K /30p up to ~25 ft. (7.5 meters), while the HR Series DisplayPort cables support 4K /60p up to ~50 ft. (15 meters). Several twisted pair extenders are available that use HDBaseT technology to extend 4K /30p up to 330 ft. (100 meters). DVIGear’s DVI-7520 and DVI-7525 provide a simple, cost-effective way to extend uncompressed video, audio, IR and RS-232 as well as Ethernet all over a single CAT-X cable. These HDBaseT extenders fully comply with the POH standard to extend remote power from the transmitter to the receiver, simplifying installation. For applications that require extreme distances, DVIGear will display an unmatched range of high-end fiber optic extension solutions. Among these, the DVI-7314 uses a cutting-edge SerDes that enables high-speed signals to travel over a single fiber optic cable.

{"text": "3D Realms Founder Scott Miller Responds To Duke Nukem Forever Leak\nEarlier this week, the original 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever leaked online. The build is reportedly playable, with nearly all levels to explore, weapons to fire, and a few baddies to shoot. It runs on Unreal Engine, according to the leaker, and a more built-out version of the game will be released later in June.\nWhat’s most interesting about the leak is how close it seemed to a ready-to-ship product. Now we’re hearing straight from 3D Realms and Apogee founder Scott Miller that the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever was anything but ready.\n\"Anyone expecting much of a playable game will be disappointed,\" Miller wrote on Apogee’s website. \"The game's brilliant trailer from that period definitely over-represented what was actually playable in the game.\"\nScott Miller founded Apogee Software Productions in 1987, using the name to release 2D action platformers while later founding 3D Realms to release fully 3D games such as Prey and Duke Nukem Forever, which infamously took over 14 years to develop.\n\"While our games like Max Payne and Prey were keeping the company afloat, Duke Nukem Forever was a constant money pit for the company and eventually killed the original 3D Realms/Apogee,\" Miller admitted. While he wasn't part of the original project, he was company owner, which gave him several insights into just what went wrong with Duke Nukem forever.\nFirst, 3D Realms was \"always understaffed by at least 50%,\" which when combined with an almost total lack of development roadmap, meant that progress was always slow. And because of the already slow development, whenever a new technology arrived, it would cause Duke Nukem Forever to reboot development using that new tech. Forever started on the Quake II engine before then moving to the Unreal Engine and finally settling on Unreal Engine 2.\nRecognizing the problems surrounding Duke Nukem Forever, Miller said that he tried to divest the game to another studio, with Warframe developer Digital Extremes topping the list. However, that idea was \"shot down internally.\" Duke Nukem Forever development would cease in 2009 as the company downsized. Only when Gearbox offered to purchase the Duke IP did development restart, with the game releasing in 2011.\n\"It's a very sad story no matter how you look at it,\" Miller added. \"It brought 3D Realms to its knees, all of our development team left or was released, and the 3D Realms name is now owned by someone with no connection to our past.\" 3D Realms was sold to Embracer Group in 2021 along with Gearbox.\nMiller does still seem to think fondly of The Duke, and even offers Gearbox a plan to bring Duke back from the dead. \"I do hope that Gearbox can resurrect Duke Nukem at some point. It seems like the obvious move would be to recreate Duke Nukem 3D using Unreal 5. And if it does well, then start making more Duke adventures while also expanding the universe with new characters.\"\nSource: Read Full Article", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Robotic surgery assists surgeons perform complex operations and procedures with accuracy and precision. It also increases the flexibility and control of the procedures, which is otherwise difficult to achieve in traditional surgical procedures.\nIn most commonly used robotic surgical system, one arm has a camera attached to it, while the other has the surgical equipment. The surgeon sits near a monitor that displays an HD, magnified, 3D view of the surgical area. The surgeons have to operate the arms of the robot properly to complete the procedure. Often this robotic surgery is coupled with conventional surgical procedures as per the convenience and requirements of the case.\nRobotic Surgery Timelines for India\n- 2000: FDA approved the Da Vinci system for an urologic Robotic surgery.\n- 2006: AIIMS New Delhi became the first hospital to install the system.\n- 2007-2017: Decade of growth in robotic surgery in India.\n- 2023: 66 Robotic surgery centers in India where 71 robotic systems have been installed.\n- 2023: More than 500 doctors trained in using robotic systems for surgical procedures.\n- 2023: 12,800 robotic surgeries have been conducted over the last 12 years.\nRobotic Surgery Gaining Popularity in India\nThe need to maintain the distance during and after the COVID19 pandemic has encouraged Indian surgeons and hospitals to adopt robotic-assisted surgeries. The expert surgeons in robotic surgeries in India are becoming more well-known outside India too having performed several successful procedures.\nWhile costs for robotic-assisted surgeries are still relatively high, Indian prices are often competitive, with top-notch medical facilities and high success rates. Most Indian hospitals offering robotic surgeries often have the best teams for clinical coordination and patient care. These factors combined together have encouraged many patients worldwide to come to India for robotic surgery.\nAccording to the data from NCBI, the success rate of robotic surgery is around 94% to 100% in India. There are much fewer complications in robotic surgery as compared to conventional approaches. The duration of the operation has also decreased as a result. Robotic surgery also ensures significantly less blood loss making the success rates even higher.\nHealth insurance in India mandatorily covers robotic surgery procedures according to the guidelines issued by IRDAI. The factors that health insurance companies cover for robotic surgery include hospitalization charges, fees of surgery, fees of the doctor, cost of nursing facilities, ICU cost, pre and post-hospitalization cost and often the ambulance cost as well.\nRobotic surgery is beneficial in the successful and precise completion of complex procedures. Many diseases have complicated processes involved and there robotic surgery is advantageous for the surgeon to keep up flexibility and control. Hence, nowadays, many surgeons in India turn to robotic-assisted surgeries to deliver the best results.\n|Robotic Surgery Procedures in India|\n|General||Adrenalectomy, Cholecystectomy, Esophagectomy, Gastric Bypass, Heller Myotomy, Thoracic, Esophageal surgery, Thymectomy, Mediastinal Tumor, Resection, Lobectomy|\n|Cardiac||Atrial Septal Defect Repair, Mitral Valve Repair, Coronary artery bypass|\n|Others||Gallbladder removal, Hip replacement, Hysterectomy, Kidney removal, Kidney transplant, Mitral valve repair, Pyeloplasty|\nThe success of any surgical program depends on the availability of a large number of cases, standardization of all surgical steps, and repeated exposure to the same disease reinforcing the stringent management protocols and ensuring efficient utilization of resources in a cost-effective manner. The alarmingly rising population of India, though a major social concern, results in very large number of patients being treated by a single surgeon. This is a blessing in disguise as it helps in the learning curve for most robotic surgeons and provides them ample learning opportunities.\nSeveral institutes in India are today offering training programs in robotic surgeries, mentored by senior consultants at various government institutions and private hospitals. With the Vattikuti 1-year fellowship in robotic surgery, the training process has been streamlined with increased opportunities for upcoming young surgeons. Moreover, the da Vinci Basic Surgical Skills Training Center has been started in India to provide additional training opportunities.\nRobotic technology has also increased the age of the surgical capabilities of surgeons by its improved ergonomics, motion scaling, and tremor filtration. It is particularly beneficial in a country like India where the demand of surgeons is ever increasing. Surgeons with excellent laparoscopic skills often have an edge and also a shorter learning curve in robotic surgery. Laparoscopy is well established in India. Hence, the transition from a laparoscopic surgeon to a robotic surgeon is smooth, which ensures a shorter learning curve and a faster dissipation.\nRobotic Surgery Still a Costly Proposition\nThe robot currently costs around $1,500,000 as an initial investment with a yearly maintenance cost of $100,000. Besides the cost of the machine, the expenditure incurred in setting up a facility dedicated to robotic surgery is also huge. Much more concerning is the recurring cost of the instruments. A number of procedure-wise cost-effectiveness studies have shown that open/laparoscopic surgeries are much more cost-effective than robotic surgeries for pyeloplasty and prostatectomy.\nThe large burden of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria takes priority in the health sector budget of India. The expenditure on robotic surgery will increase the load on the health sector expenditure. Hospitals are also more likely to buy a robot for commercial publicity and superiority, and subsequently, to regain expenses, push surgeons into recruiting patients for robotic surgery.\nSuccess Stories at Indian Hospitals\nStryker Mako Robotic System in Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital\nKokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai clinically launched its first ever robotic-arm assisted surgical system, Stryker Mako is an advanced ortho-robotic technologies in the world for joint replacement surgery. The first two cases using the new robotic system were successfully performed by Dr Subhash Dhiware, Consultant, Orthopedics, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai with his team. With this clinical launch, the hospital aims to perform over 80 per cent of knee and joint surgeries using the surgical system.\nThe Mako robotic system, approved by the US FDA is used for total hip, total knee and partial knee replacements. The evolution of technology in the field of orthopaedic surgery today enables precise and flawless joint replacements as compared to manual surgery. Mako’s CT-based planning creates a 3D model of the diseased joint to give the surgeon a complete view into the patient’s joint and the defect. This allows the surgeon to prepare a personalised plan for each individual patient. This is especially important as every patient’s joint structure is different, and arthritis or other joint damage resulting in further alteration of the joint.\nAdded Dr Dhiware,“This is invaluable in difficult cases and enables the surgeon to position the joint implant with extreme precision and accuracy. It prevents complications from injuries to surrounding normal tissues. Its haptic technology enables surgeons to cut precisely as per the plan with less soft tissue damage and greater bone preservation. Other advantages for the patient include improved outcomes like minimal blood loss, less post-operative pain, less use of painkillers, shorter hospital stay and an earlier return to normal with less physical therapy sessions required.”\nCUVIS Joint Robotic System for total knee replacement in Artemis Hospital\nArtemis Hospital, Gurugram has recently acquired CUVIS Joint Robotic System for Knee Replacement Surgery, which allows surgeons to preplan surgery through personalized 3D CT imaging. The system is simple to operate and offers flexibility to the surgeons with a range of cutting options. The procedures are accurate, minimally invasive and very safe for the patients.\nWith the help of the CUVIS JOINT Robotic System surgeons can perform precise implant placement which results in a more natural feeling after surgery. Patients also benefit as there is a reduced risk of injury to adjacent tissues and risk of infection after robotic surgery is also low. The patient loses less blood due to smaller incisions and the pain is substantially less. The implants have better longevity, thereby, patients’ have better long-term functioning of the knees and improved quality of life.\nInforms Dr. I P S Oberoi, Chairperson, Orthopaedics Program & Chief-Robotic Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy Surgery, “With the advent of MRI, we are now able to diagnose knee injuries and problems in a lot of detail, especially diagnosis of ligament tears and rupture are more precise and detailed. The advent of better diagnostic tools and medical technology has paved way for early interventions, thereby, reducing further damage to the knees and improving the patient’s physical condition. However, we are witnessing that due to long years of neglect and apathy towards knee problems more and more people are now having severe problems and are being advised knee replacement surgery, especially patients with advanced stage arthritis.”\nHe further adds, “Sometimes, patients having arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis, also have severe knee deformities. The precision with which the implant is put after robotic surgery is much better even in severely damaged knees. Robotic surgery is a boon to most of the patients having knee arthritis. Younger individuals with knee pain should get investigations in form of MRI and X-ray scans done to see for the damage which have just started happening and if the damage is advanced or progressing, then there are techniques to get them back on to work as fast as possible with robotic computing assisted surgeries.”\nVersius Robotic Surgical System in Asian Institute of Medical Sciences\nAsian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Faridabad has introduced its first 3D Advanced Minimal Access Surgical Robot in the region-the Versius Robotic Surgical System. The next-generation advanced surgical robot aims to revolutionise the field of surgery in oncology and urology (Kidney Nephrectomy), thoracic surgery, and general surgical procedures such as gall bladder stone, complex hernia among several other complex procedures.\nWith 3D visualisation, the advanced and efficient robotic solution backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning is designed to empower the surgeon ensuring greater accuracy, precision, and safety offering superior surgical solutions even in inaccessible areas.\nInformed Dr N. K. Pandey, Chairman & Managing Director, Asian Hospital said, “Next-generation advanced robotic surgery offers enhanced accuracy with less tissue trauma, minimal blood loss, lesser chance of getting infection and less complication, better mobility and improved early functional recovery besides a shorter hospital stay for the patient after surgery.”\nSharing his views on the next-generation advanced robotic surgery, Dr Pandey said, “Though traditional procedures available for cancer, weight loss, and transplant surgery offer good outcomes, the next-generation advanced surgical robot is minimally invasive and gives accurate 3D visualisation that makes all the difference. Advanced robotic technology aims, and hope that these procedures will enhance accuracy and lessen the chance of infection and consequently further improve surgical outcome.”\nAdvanced Integrated Robotic System for Spine Surgery in BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital\nBLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital has introduced an advanced integrated robotic system for spine surgery. The technology utilises artificial intelligence to visualise spinal anatomy during complex surgeries. Robotic surgeries allow data integration which comes handy during these spine surgeries and doctors can customize the surgical plan for individual patients.\nThe integrated spinal robot is programmed to navigate spinal surgeries. Additionally, this robotic system combines surgical navigation and robotic guidance for spinal surgery, which offers significant advantages to spine surgeons. The system has been designed to facilitate procedural efficiency. Robotic surgery makes the procedure more objective as it is more plan driven.\nDr Puneet Girdhar, Senior Director & Head, Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital said, “In today’s advanced medical times robotic spinal surgeries are the safest route for procedures that require extreme precision and accuracy. They not only promise positive outcomes but also involve minimal complications throughout the surgery.”\nDr Girdhar has recently performed 10 complex spinal surgeries using the robotic navigation system with 100% successful outcomes. All of his patients could walk pain-free from day after surgery. One of his recent patients was suffering from severe back pain and severe compression of spinal nerves and difficulty in walking. He was afraid of the surgery, despite that being the only option in his advanced stage of disease.\nCurrently, Max Healthcare is one of the largest healthcare players in the country with 15 robotic systems across its Network hospitals. More than 4,000 robotic surgeries have been performed at our Network hospitals so far.\nBLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital has also expanded its Robotic Surgical Program with the introduction of artificial intelligence enabled robotic system for Joint replacement surgeries.\nThis next generation robotic system for joint replacement works on artificial intelligence and helps surgeons in achieving more precision & accuracy and preserving more natural bone, minimal blood loss and ensuring a well-balanced joint.\nIntroduction of robot for joint replacement at BLK-Max Hospital will allow patients to benefit from combination of human insight and experience of senior clinicians backed by robust technology. The technology is engineered to replicate a patient’s individual joint structure, allowing for the relief of pain from failed replacements. The robotic device imitates the joints’ regular motion patterns, so minimising any excessive stress on the muscles, nerves, tendons and sinews. Robot aids the surgeon in achieving accuracy, alignment, and balance.\nDr. Bhushan Nariani, Senior Director and Head, Centre for Joint Replacement, BLK-Max Super Specialty Hospital said, “This new robotic navigation technology allows the surgeon to pre-plan the surgery by assessing the individual patient’s disease state and predicting the joint stability over the full range of motion. This ensures precision and reduces the chances of malalignment of implants”.\nCurrently, BLK-Max Hospital has two Da Vinci Xi robots and they are used in performing surgical procedures across specialties including cancer, liver and kidney transplants, heart, urology, gynaecology, paediatric. BLK-Max Hospital has conducted more than 1200 robotic surgeries in various specialties with success to date.\nIntuitive deploys 100th surgical systems in India at UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad\nSunnyvale, California-headquartered Intuitive recently installed its hundredth robotic-assisted surgical system in India at the UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, Ahmedabad.\nMost of Intuitive’s robotic programmes are installed in leading private and government hospitals, medical education institutes and state government medical colleges across the country. Prior to this most recent milestone, Intuitive has advanced minimally invasive care in India through advanced robotic technology, supported by an innovative and expanding ecosystem of learning, services, and solutions. More than 800 surgeons have been trained on Intuitive’s da Vinci technology and are helping drive the significant increase in its adoption.\n“We strive at Intuitive to help Indian surgeons and their care teams improve patient outcomes, improve the patient and care team experience, and lower the total cost to treat,” said Mandeep Singh Kumar, Vice President and General Manager, Intuitive India.\nWhile commenting on the installation of Intuitive’s da Vinci Xi system, Dr. Chirag Doshi, Head, Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology, said, “We are always in the forefront in finding newer ways to offer advanced and affordable healthcare that help improve patient outcomes. With the installation of Intuitive’s da Vinci Xi surgical system, we hope to potentially enhance academic research and residency training programmes in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and continue our efforts towards improving patient care and experience.”\nApollo Delhi Conducts First Robot-Assisted Total Arterial Bypass Surgery in North India\nIndraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi conducted the first robot-assisted total arterial bypass surgery for triple vessel coronary artery disease, the first of its kind in North of India. The surgery was conducted under the supervision of Dr MM Yusuf, Specialist Consultant, Robotics and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Dr Mukesh Goel, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic surgery & Dr Varun Bansal, Consultant, Robotics and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.\nDr MM Yusuf, who led the robot assisted surgery, said, “Robotic assisted CABG is the least invasive cardiac procedure. It is a symbiosis between state-of-the-art technology and surgical expertise. It offers great short and long-term benefits by subjecting patients to minimal cuts, less bleeding, less pain, early recovery and quick return to active life; which is a distant target by open chest surgery. Total arterial bypass surgery also provides best long term outcome with less risk of reintervention later in life. Dr MM Yusuf & his team have been performing this procedure routinely at Apollo Hospitals Chennai over the past 2 years.\nSpeaking about the procedure, Dr Mukesh Goel said, “While fewer acute heart attack cases are being admitted to hospital emergency units, there is a marked increase in deaths from cardiac arrest at home, probably due to the postponement and delay in seeking medical attention. It is, therefore, important to emphasise that heart patients must not ignore any deterioration in symptoms and/or delay medical attention. Apollo Hospitals have been known to introduce the latest medical technology in India for the benefit of the patients. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery avoids sternal split and aids in a quick recovery”.\nDr Varun Bansal added,” Technology has ushered in a paradigm shift in healthcare. From performing complex surgeries to providing remote care with telehealth, it has brought a massive transformation, taking medical treatment to unimaginable heights. Even though the use of robots in surgery isn’t new, emerging technologies and innovation have expanded their scope to help doctors perform difficult medical procedures and surgeries easily with more precision, comfort and speed.”\nCARE Hospitals Hyderabad Performs First Gynaecology Procedure in Asia Pacific Using Robotic-Assisted Surgery\nSystem Hyderabad based CARE Hospitals Group and India Medtronic Private Limited performed the first gynecology (hysterectomy) procedure in Asia-Pacific using Hugo robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) system. The milestone procedure was performed by the expert clinical team of CARE Hospitals, led by Dr. Manjula Anagani, at the group’s flagship facility located at Banjara Hills.\nThe patient, a 46-year-old woman, was suffering from prolonged Adenomyosis, a condition that causes the uterus to thicken and enlarge. She underwent a robotic-assisted total hysterectomy procedure where the affected uterus was removed using the Hugo RAS system. CARE becomes the first hospital in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to install this new robotic-assisted surgery system from Medtronic.\nTalking about the surgery, Dr. Manjula Anagani said, “Utilizing the new RAS system from Medtronic for hysterectomy, which was APAC’s first gynecological procedure, is a testimony to our dedication to provide high-end clinical care. It is a proud moment for all our teams, and we look forward to using this innovative robotic system to expand access to the powerful benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more patients.”\nElaborating about the Advanced Robotic program, Dr. Nikhil Mathur, Group Chief of Medical Services said” This landmark surgery will open up new opportunities for our team of world-class surgeons to further use the Hugo RAS system in other clinical specialties. We look forward to using this innovative robotic system to expand access to the powerful benefits of minimally invasive surgery to more patients looking for treatment under General Surgery, Urology, Gynecology and more.”\nThe Hugo RAS system is a modular, multi-quadrant platform designed for a broad range of soft-tissue procedures. It combines wristed instruments, 3D visualization, and Touch Surgery Enterprise, cloud-based surgical video capture and management solution, with dedicated support teams specializing in robotics program optimization, service, and training. It is designed to bring the benefits of minimally invasive surgery —fewer complications, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activities1–3,† — to more patients around the world. And, in doing so, help address global inequities in access to care.\nSSI MANTRA Launches First Indigenous Medical Robotics Surgery System at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), Hyderabad\nSS Innovations has launched the SSI Mantra (Multi-Arm Novel Tele Robotic Assistance) Surgical Robotic System), India’s first medical robotics surgery system. The MANTRA system was recently utilised for the first in human pilot study at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), where the surgeons successfully completed 18 complex Urology, Gynaecology and General Surgery procedures in less than a month. While robotic driven surgery first happened in India in 2001, first in AIIMS in 2006 and in RGCI in 2011, this is the first time a completely indigenous robotic surgery system has been developed in India. Dr Srivastava informed that till now 85 LoIs have been received for MANTRA including those from government hospitals.

Unlike clunky ratchet straps and cheap imitations the NRS Strap is strong, easy, fast and simple with unlimited usefulness.\nHow do you secure a canoe to rack?\nPlace foam blocks under the hull or gunwales.

Front Runner.\nIs canoeing harder than kayaking?\nWhile a canoe is undoubtedly harder to capsize than a kayak — though they’re both pretty stable, honestly — a kayak has the advantage of being able to be righted in the event of a rollover. In general, canoes are wider and more stable than kayaks, but kayaks are faster and easier to maneuver.\nDo you need a roof rack for a canoe?\nCanoe Racks are a must when carrying a canoe on your vehicle. Roof Mounted Canoe Racks REQUIRE that you already have a roof rack system in place, either from the manufacturer of your vehicle, or if your vehicle roof is bare, find a roof rack fit for your specific vehicle.\nShould a kayak be transported upside down?\nAlways transport kayaks made from composite materials upside down to prevent the tension in the tie downs from deforming the hull and causing it to crack. Some kayaks can be safely transported in any orientation that makes sense, but other kayaks can be damaged if they are transported incorrectly.\nCan you put 2 kayaks on top of a car?\nKeep the kayak as far toward one side (the driver’s or passenger’s side) as you can. Strap the first kayak down to the roof rack. Throw the straps over the kayak and secure the straps. Leave the straps loose at this point, as you may need to adjust this kayak after the second one is placed.\nHow do you tie a crossbar on a kayak?\nPass the end of the cam strap up to meet the buckle, open the buckle and pass the end of the strap through. Pull gently down on the end of the strap and cinch until secure. Move back and forth between the front and back straps, cinching and adjusting the kayak until it is firmly fastened.", "label": "No"}

I know\nthat the Scamp brochure lists the weight of a Scamp 13 at 1200-1500 lbs.\nI was shooting for the lower end of that range, but I have not yet actually\nweighed our trailer.\nAnother forum member (Norm) has regularly towed a Scamp16 all over\nthe country with an older, manual transmission CRV. He holds the speed\ndown, and has no top-mounted A/C dragging in the wind. He seems to\nhave done just fine.\nSince our CRV is an automatic, we did add a transmission oil cooler to\nprotect the transmission from overheating. We often tow in D3, especially\nin any sort of rolling terrain or uphill grades. IIRC, your 2.4L engine\ndevelops its 185hp at 7000 rpm.

{"text": "A Short History of Aerobatics\nBy Rick Allison (Reprinted from Model Aviation August 1999)\nBusy with reconstruction, post-World War I Europe may have been less-then-immediatmly fertile pround for aerobatic growth, but America was a diffrent story. The population of the States had been much less scarred by the war-it was shorter for the US than Europe. It had been fought at a distance, and the \"dogfights\" over that faraway front were still the stuff of markatable romance.\nHollywood films about wartime flying proved popular. This led to the brand-new occupation of movie stunt pilot. which gave some of the top surviving \"aces\" gainful employment and a small opportunity to relive a little of their wartime celebrity status.\nHowever, the main postwar boost to the aerobatic arts didn't come from Hollywood. It arrived more or less spontaneously. courtesy of the grass fields of the American heartland. The particular American talented hucksterism, which gave birth to the traveling medicine show, the Wild West show, and P.T. Barnum, also spawned the nomadic art of barnstorming.\nBy the early 1920s, pilots with ragtag war-surplus biplanes were hip-hopping all over the rural landscape, selling cheap rides and flying lessons. Home for these airborne hobos was generally a bindle spread under a wing at night, and the living was wherever they could hustle up marks to raise food and gas money. Aerobatics came along for the ride, as sort of a shill.\nOn arrival over a selected town, the standard gimmick for these flying gypsies would be a series of loops, rolls, and spins to draw a crowd. This worked well, sometimes to the point that onlookers had to be shooed from whatever passed for a runway. (Unfortunately, the crowds attracted by the stunts didn't always buy airplane rides.)\nBarnstorming was daring, romantic, and showy (and a lot safer than flying the mail routes), but hardly an economic success. And even under a dew-covered wing, the ground gets hard after a while. Many of these gypsy pilots simply decided to settle down and set up shop in one spot, providing air service for a single community-which is where the term FBO came from, for Fixed-Base Operator. An independent few persevered, still looking for an easy way to make a hard living flying airplanes.\nFlying circuses were the answer. Even in the beginning, barnstorming had been mostly a team occupation, simply because it was nearly impossible for one person to do the flying, work the crowd, and collect the money simultaneously. The flying simply began banding together in even larger groups, as gypsies traditionally have done, and the first traveling air shows appeared, complete with front men, tickets, and other dodges borrowed from another uniquely American institution: the roadshow carnival.\nWith these new shows, rides and lessons were no longer the main attraction. The public proved willing to pay for the scary and thrilling experience of flight, but as spectators, not participants. The call was for spectacular deering-do, and the more nearly impossible and deadly a stunt appeared, the better. A new era of \"display aerobatics\" was at hand.\nWing-walking, air-to-air transfers, and parachutists were the window dressing, but aerobatics were the stock-in-trade of these early air shows. New maneuvers began appearing almost weekly, as pilots competed for reputations and a bigger share of the public wallet. Point or Hesitation Rolls were first; big, fat fuselages gave even the underpowered biplanes of the day good knife-edge performance. Compound maneuvers, such as the Avalanche, followed rapidly.\nThe quest for reputations, bigger paydays, and the \"can you top this?\" atmosphere led quickly to the establishment of actual aerobatic competitions, and many private cups and trophies for aerobatics were established by the middle of the 1920s.\nBy the mid-1920s, the debris of war had given way to a measure of prosperity in Europe, and along with air racing, aerobatics was again becoming a popular aeronautical diversion. American-style airshows were well-attended, but the European talent for structure and bureaucratic order soon asserted itself, and an elaborate competition framework was established including formal maneuver schedules, methods of scoring, and judging standards-leading to the first effort at an aerobatic World Championships, held in Paris in 1934.\nAmerica was still the land of the creatively free, and the rigorous European approach was -slow to catch on. In 1932, the famous Freddie Lund Trophy was established in the United States as the premier invitational aerobatic event for air show pilots. It consisted of all freestyle flying.\nBy the late '20s, aircraft designers were at last catching up, and aerobatic pilots could once again stretch the limits. More power up front and lower-drag airframe designs led to aircraft that could sustain a vertical line. In 1927, an RAF fellow named Allen Wheeler produced the first full vertical roll.\nJimmy Doolittle flew the first complete Outside Loop in 1927—basically a continuation of the Bunt, which was an outside half-loop from the top first done by some English pilots in the early Twenties. The Brits lacked the horsepower for the second half of the maneuver, and so they just stopped, rolled out, and named it; an \"I meant to do that\" sort of thing. But by 1927, the Twenties were Roaring, and Doolittle had all the ponies needed to finish the loop—435 of them in his Curtis P-lB.\nAround this time, one of the first German competition pilots, Gerhard Fiesler (of later Fiesler Storch fame), was also the first to develop inverted oil and fuel systems, leading to the real conquest of inverted flight; Adolphe Pegoud's \"stretched loop\" of 1913 notwithstanding.\nDoolittle had beaten him to the Outside Loop by a few weeks, but in 1929 Gerhard put his own stamp on the future of aerobatics by inventing the Rolling Circle thereby making life miserable for generations of young aerobats to come, as they struggled to learn it. Gerhard won the first World Championships in 1934, and remained active in aerobatics well into the 1990s.\nGerhard's career, along with those of Jimmy Doolittle, Chuck Yeager, and Bob Hoover, proves that there are, indeed, a few old and bold pilots.\nLate in the Roaring Twenties, the first military flight demonstration teams were formed in response to repeated requests from larger air show promoters for military participation, and the modern concept of military formation aerobatics appeared.\nIn the 193Os. the US Army Air Corps Red Knights were the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels of the day, thrilling crowds of air show spectators with their Curtiss Hawk biplanes and inspiring young aerobatic wannabes in bunches. The idea was to entice these dazzled youngisters into the Army Air Corps or orher mililary flying schools. and it worked brilliantly, providing Ameria with a well-trained head start on the thousands of combat pilots that would be needed all too soonThe idea continues to work at air shows all over the world: The US Navy Blue Angels team was founded in 1946. and the USAF Thunderbirds followed a few years later. Today, nearly every country with even a rudimemary air force boasts a flight demonstration team of some sort, and hundreds of shows flown each year-there are even international competilions whcre the demo tcams compete with each other!\nThe Cluban Eight was invented as an ad lib at the 1936 All American Air Race Meeting in Miami, Florida.\nLen Povey was a famous American barnstormcr who was almost as well-known for his quick wit and promotional abilities as he was for his considerable aerobatic skills. In the early '30s the Cuban military brass were looking for someone to advise and train the new Cuban Air Force, and Len quickly talked himself into the jobAfter he hsd been down lhere for a while, it was decided that he should take one of the fledgling air force's new Curtiss Hawk biplanes to the show in Miami to compete for the Freddie Lund Trophy as a conbination publicily and recruiting stunt.\nWhile performing for the trophy, he decided to do a triple Avalanche: three snaps at the top of a loop. At the top of the loop. Len saw that he was carrying way too much entry speed for the snap, so he rode over the top; coming down the back side, he did a half-roll and pulled inro another loop, again half-rolling on the back side before pulling out.\nThe new maneuver was a minor sensation, and when Povey was asked by the assembled press just exactly what he had done, he offhandedly remarked that it was merely a \"Cuban eight.\"\nBigger, better, faster, and stronger remained the rule of the day right up to World War II, when things aeronautical really got bigger, better, faster, and stronger. Aerobatics were once again a matter of pure survival for a new generation of combat pilots, and the fun was placed on hold.\nAfter WWII, the biggest, most prestigious international aerobatic event in the world was the Lockheed Trophy, held annually in Britain. This event was not much like the rigorous current FAI aerobatic competitions. It was essentially a freestyle program, judged a lot like modern four-minute Free, with artistic impression counting far more than precision.\nIn the mid-1950s, the pilots of what was then Czechoslovakia introduced a maneuver during the Lockheed Trophy that they called a \"Lomcevak.\" The name is variously translated as \"log in the head,\" \"headache,\" or \"look at that drunk trying to walk,\" depending on which Czech you talk to.\nRegardless of the exact translation, the new maneuver blew the assembled aerobatic community away. It was the first gyroscopic maneuver to be done, and arguably, it remains the most spectacular.\nGyroscopic maneuvers are maneuvers that take full or partial advantage of the gyroscopic precession generated by the spinning propeller. The pilot usually applies the controls in such a fashion as to maximize this force, and then basically becomes a spectator until the energy of the tumble dissipates and it is time to recover the aircraft.\nThe classic Lomcevak is entered from a 45° up line, at cruise speed or below, with full throttle applied. To begin the maneuver, full right rudder is applied and held simultaneously with full left aileron and full down elevator. The response varies considerably from aircraft to aircraft, but the usual result is a graceful end-for-end tumble on all three control axes, finishing with the aircraft in an inverted spin.\nThe first postwar, modern-format World Championships (and the first to be sanctioned by the FAI) was held in Czechoslovakia in 1960. A lone American participated—Frank Price, who funded himself out of his own pocket.\nIn 1962, American competition aerobatics got a big boost when the Aerobatic Club of America (later to be superseded by the IAC) organized and held the first official US National Aerobatic Championships, held in Phoenix, Arizona. It was won by the legendary Duane Cole, who had helped to organize the eventAmerica sent its first team—a three-man crew consisting of Duane Cole, Lindsey Parsons, and Rod Jocelyn to the 1962 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Lindsey Parsons placed a very respectable fifth in his outmatched and underpowered Great Lakes biplane, beating a considerable number of hot Zlin and Yak monoplanes. American teams have been a fixture and have been among the top competitors at every World Championships since.\nThe next major development in formal aerobatics was the introduction of rhe Aresti aerobatic shorthand and scoring system, which was the contribution of a flamboyant Spanish aerobatic aristocrat. Count Jose Louis Aresti.\nReportedly, the Count started out by merely scribbling line diagrams of his sequence and raping them to his instrument panel as reminders he could actually read while pulling six or seven Gs. Known merely as the Sistema Aresti, the notation was first used formally at the FAI World Championships in 1964. Aresti notation evenrually evolved into the FAI Aerobatic Catalog, which is today's undisputed last word on aerobatic figures and families.\nAresli notation was the final key to the worldwide standardization and evaluation of formal aerobatic flight. The AMA Competition Regulations includes examples of Aresti notation by neccesity-the AMA Scale Aerobatics events are based on it.\nInformal aerobatic flight, as practiced at air shows and freestyle events, continued (and continues) to resist all attempts at standardization. and even most attempls at description.\nAs a result. the progression of aerobatics in the postwar era has continued along the same dual track as before the war, with the geometric progression of the rigorous competition approach on the one hand, and the spectacular but less-defined air show approach on the other. The only difference is that the former separation by continent has disappeared. and both forms of aerobatics are now flown and enjoyed all over the world.\nAround 1972, American and world aerobaric chanmpion and well-known air show pilot Charlie Hillard invented the Torque Roll, which basically consists of entering what looks like a Tail Slide, and then hanging the aircraft on the prop while initiating a continuous roll to the left. With a right-turning propeller, engine torque keeps thc roll going until the aircraft hegins to slide back, whereupon aileron is immediately reversed (because the direction of flight is now reversed) to keep the left roll going. Recovery is accomplished by closing the throttle and finishing as in the Tail Slide\nThe Zwilbelturm, or Spiral Tower was invented in 1974 by Swiss and European champion Eric Muller. From a right roll on a vertical up line, a tumble is begun that resembles an inverted ascending spin. The controls are reversed to accomplish a transition to an upright flat spin as the aircraft reaches apogee and starts to descend.\nIn the mid-1970s, heavier aircraft with more powerful engines (more inertia and more precessive force) lit an explosion in tumbling maneuvers that continues to the present day. The variations are apparently endless; so much so that people have either given up on naming them all, or simply can't remember what it is that they just did because of the brain-scrambling effects of high-G.\nWith the demise of the Lockheed Trophy and the rise of more formally judged competitions, the primary focus in competition aerobatics shifted back to the European prewar emphasis on flying standardized figures with geometric precision.\nThis competitive paradigm shift excluded gyroscopic figures such as the Lomcevak, since aircraft (and pilot) response varies so much that establishing precise judging standards for tumbling maneuvers is impossible. (Simply describing some of the figures in Aresti environ is impossible!)\nHowever, the gyroscopic tumbles and Torque Rolls were far too popular with competition pilots and spectators to simply be discarded or relegated to noncompetitive venues. They became the centerpiece of the modern Four-Minute Freestyle event (which is judged by standards similar to those used by the Lockheed Trophy), and remain the cutting edge of aerobatics, where today's pioneers may still discover new forms of aerobatic flight.\nIf aeromodeling has taken much from full-scale aerobatics, it may now he in the process of giving something back. Many full-scale competition and air show pilots have participated as performers, or judges at the well-known Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas, and most have come away entranced and impressed with the inventiveness displayed by the pilots during lhe Four-Minute Free.\nIt is safe to assume that if any of those spectacular 3-D TOC moves are even possible with a full-scale piloted aircraft, they will be coming soon to an air show near you—down low, at show center, with smoke on!", "label": "No"}

Once massive maturation of the use of solar power is materialized, expect that every household or industry on the planet is now powered by solar power. Start small if you’re just beginning with solar power.\nSolar Power - It is Environmentally Friendly and a Valuable Resource\nThe One Best Method You Should Be Using for Solar Panel Exposed\nSolar Panel for Dummies\nThe dwelling solar panel process is ideal as they don't hurt affect the surroundings and at an identical time in powering your house. So the very first thing you must decide, is how much you are eager to invest and what type of project you wish to energize with a solar panel. There are lots of choices available if you are searching for additional information about how you can build solar panels.\nWhat's Actually Happening with Solar Panel\nThere are lots of considerations that have to be taken into account to create an informed choice about a solar power system. You don't need to be an expert contractor in order to construct an effective and safe solar panel unit which will help you reach your plan to save more cash by having your own solar power supply. Based on the power that you want daily, you might want at least two solar panels at your residence.\nTop Solar Panel Choices\nLet's say you have 5 panels which have a score of 50 WP each. There are various solar panel kit businesses in the industry which promises to bring the cost down to $200. You can readily build by yourself through the usage of these all-inclusive kits, that provide everything you're going to need.\nPV cells arrive in a range of shapes and sizes. All kinds of PV systems are commonly used today in a number of applications. Kyocera solar panels are offered in an assortment of styles, and every one of those distinct styled ones was made to fulfill a specific need.\nNowadays, the use of solar energy keeps growing exponentially. Thus, use solar energy which is among the very best renewable supply of energy to resist energy crises and to conserve the earth. In the early days, it was used primarily for the production of steam which could then be used to drive machinery.\nSolar panels absorb light from sunlight and transform it into energy. Solar power is the energy made by the sun. It is expected to double every three years, at least.\nAs KerryGnoted, the total amount of sun is a critical issue. Because it is free for everyone, anyone can take advantage of this great opportunity. Ready-made panels are going to be on the pricey side, however, it is simple to build a cost-effective air heater at home too.\nThe Chronicles of Solar Panel\nIt also ought to be remembered that solar power systems don't need complete sunshine to do their function. Parabolic trough techniques supply the optimal/optimally land-use factor of any solar technology. The off-grid power process is a roof panel system which is independent.\nIf you just plan to create a part of your energy requirements, then your initial investment might be smaller.

{"text": "Boosting Model 3 Production\nTesla seems to be boosting Model 3 production, according to a report in Electrek. Reports from Taiwan say Tesla is ordering enough parts from the auto component supplier Hota Industrial Mfg. Co. to now produce 5,000 units per week. This is a significant boost from when the company slashed its Model 3 parts orders by 40 percent in October – an output of only 3,000 vehicles per week.\nTesla has been mired in production issues since they began producing their Model 3 electric vehicle in July 2017. CEO Elon Musk has even previously admitted that the remainder of the year would be \"production hell\" for the company. Musk originally set the production target for 20,000 cars per month by September 2017, but the company missed that goal by a wide margin – producing only 260 vehicles that month. This return to a 5,000 units a week production pace means Tesla could be back on track to meet Musk's target starting in January.\nWorth the Wait?\nThis year's Model 3 release was met with appropriate fanfare, with automobile critics lauding the vehicle despite its slow-trickle production. Jack Stewart at Wired wrote, \"The arrival of Tesla’s Model 3 signals a new chapter in automotive history...\" This fall, the first Model 3s were delivered to Tesla employees, who were given shipping priority. But many non-employees are still anxiously waiting for their orders to come through.\nNow, reporting from Telsarati claims that 100 to 200 Model 3s were spotted at a delivery center near the company's Fremont, California factory where the Model 3s are being assembled. This could mean that Tesla is finally ready to start delivering the vehicles to members of the general public with vehicle reservations. The uptick in production could also signal that those deliveries will continue with increased regularity.\nThe relatively affordable Model 3 – with a starting price of $35,000 – could certainly mark a shift for the future of personal transportation. The shift from gas-powered vehicles to electric ones continues to gain momentum, and Tesla's products are leading the way. But the company just has to make sure it can deliver on those products at a faster pace.\nShare This Article", "label": "No"}

But, from ancient history, staircase have inspired builders to flights of fancy in timber, wrought iron, steel, granite, clay, rocks, glass, Lucite and reinforced concrete. If you are designing staircase for your home, know basic conformations, but investigate the depths and heights of imaginative stair treatments.\nYour inner Scarlet or Cinderella will enjoy the theatrical ascents and descents all in a day’s operation in a place with a grand stairs. The entrance may open to twin staircases — one on either side of the space — rising to a central bridge on the mezzanine or second floor that is part of the upstairs hall. A huge central stair that narrows as it rises can lead to separate hallways on each side of the upper level. However the single or double stair is resized, such a focal point requires the luxury of finely polished hardwood, gleaming marble or smoothed limestone staircase, flanked by ornate wrought-iron or elegant hardwood balustrades, lit with a glittering chandelier and accentuated by a fine oriental runner above risers and treads.\nThe wrought-iron spiral stairs is a compact method to deal with life’s ups and downs, especially if you reside in a lighthouse. But that artist-in-a-garret vibe is just one cliched way to go around the stairs dilemma in a tight area. Powder-coated white steel with blond wood steps is a lighter variation. A spiral of clear or tinted glass steps winding around a central support rod is another. Hardwood measures encased in a twisting black funnel of painted curved hardwood hints at something marine and mysterious. An ordinary hardwood staircase with banister, newel posts and broad treads becomes a conversation piece and playground when it’s swirled into a spiral which supports a functional slide curved to the shape of the stairs and running across its side.\nFloating steps seem to be hovering between the mundane realms and a few heavenly destination — whether they’re black slate, tempered glass, hardwood skateboard-shaped treads, slate tiles or slabs of travertine. The steps are simply identical treads, inconspicuously bolted to the wall or supported by a cleverly disguised brace under. A floating stairs is stunning when unaccompanied by any restrictive stair rails but that may be vertigo-inducing for the faint-of-heart and downright dangerous for very young or very old residents. An almost invisible safety rail made of steel cables, or a clear Plexiglas side panel removes the experience and the danger if you adore the look but are not match for potential falls from grace.\nSolve the space issue as the quantity of the novels falls and rises with a library stairs made to corral your collection.

{"text": "Negotiations are underway between PSG and FC Barcelona for a deal that will see the clubs exchange Neymar and Dembele.\nParis Saint Germain and FC Barcelona are currently in talks for a deal which could possibly be the talking point for a few months if it takes place successfully. The clubs are planning for an exchange deal that will see Neymar Jr. and Ousmane Dembele switch clubs.\nWhile the negotiations are in a very early stage right now, the possibility of such a move taking place cannot be written off. The clubs are confident that the initial talks could move forward.\nNeymar left the Catalans to join PSG in the summer of 2017 in a big money deal that left the Barcelona fans in a shock. PSG was very eager to finish the deal and paid the club the full release clause. Now the club currently seem to be unhappy with Neymar with the Brazilian having endured a pretty disappointing time in France.\nA similar story can be said of Dembele who made the big money move from Dortmund in the same transfer window. Injuries have stalled his progress and in the limited chances he has got, he has failed to meet the expectations.\nThus there is a high possibility that the deal could take place.\nAlso even if the deal goes through, it looks to be seen how the fans of Barcelona view the return of Neymar to their club. The dressing room have apparently given the green light for the move to take place.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Getting the facts on the wheel tax\nRAPID CITY, S.D. — On Tuesday, the Pennington County Board of Commissioners held the first reading of an ordinance that would increase the county’s wheel tax from $2 to $5. Reactions so far have been mixed.\nIn 2015, the South Dakota Legislature passed Senate Bill 1, which raised excise tax from 3% to 4%. That extra 1% went into a Bridge Improvement Grant fund, and up until 2021, Pennington County didn’t receive a cent of that money — despite residents paying in. Disbursement from that grant program is only to counties with an implemented wheel tax — something Pennington County didn’t have until last year.\nIn 2021, the county passed a wheel tax at $2 per wheel, leaving only six counties in the state that don’t collect wheel tax. Pennington County Highway Department Superintendent Joe Miller says it still isn’t enough to meet the county’s road and bridge work needs.\n“There’s 89 bridges that are needing replaced over the next 25 years,” Miller said. “With the current market and the current prices with the inflation, the fuel costs, you know, the county — with just a $2 wheel tax and the funding we do get…we don’t get any money from the General Fund. So there’s no money coming in from property tax.”\nMiller says they’ve been operating about $2.5 million down each year since 2015, which equals a nearly $18 million deficit.\nA LOOK AT PENNINGTON COUNTY’S BRIDGES\n- 44 bridges replaced between 1972 and 1974 due to the flood\n- 68 bridges are over 50 years old (the average lifespan of a bridge is 50 to 70 years)\n- 21 bridges are between 40 and 50 years old\n- 18 bridges are in poor condition (based on National Bridge Inspection Standards)\n- 22 bridges have posted load limits\n- 27 bridges across 13 roads are the only means of ingress and egress\nAnd the cost to fix these bridges continues to rise — up an average of $250,000 since 2020.\n“$750,000 times 89 bridges its 67…$66.7 million that it would cost right now,” Miller said.\nA wheel tax increase to $5 would generate more than $3.5 million each year.\nSince the 2021 wheel tax was implemented, Pennington County has received more than $2 million in grant funding for bridge work, which Miller says they do as best they can despite a lack of manpower.\n“The other problem is finding the contractors,” Miller said. “There’s not very many bridge contractors in the state of South Dakota, and there’s a lot of other counties and there’s a lot of other bridges in the state.”\nMiller says the public should understand that improving — and maintaining — roads requires sustained funding.\n“We want good roads to drive on. And having good roads to drive on, and good bridges to drive on, costs money,” Miller added.\nThe alternative, he says, is placing the total financial burden — millions of dollars a year — on the backs of Pennington County residents.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "When it comes to making homes more energy-efficient, many people get confused as to where to begin. It can be rather confusing and perhaps a bit intimidating. As a builder of DFW green homes, we’ve got a lot of valuable experience under our belt in terms of energy-efficiency. We know just how to reduce those pesky cooling bills during the peak of a Dallas summer, and we’ve got lots of tricks under our belt. If you’re unsure about what steps can be taken to improve the way energy is used in your home, read on to get some information that will assist you with “going green”.\nA tankless water heater is an excellent addition to any house. Tankless heaters will heat your water at the source; meaning, you aren’t storing heated water in a tank until you need to use it. The hot water is available almost immediately. This is an energy-efficient option that can be added to most any home.\nA great way to save energy when using a dishwasher is to avoid using the dry cycle. The heat generated during this cycle consumes a lot of energy, and can be completely avoided if you just let dishes dry naturally in the open air.\nRather than use air conditioning, keep the windows open in your home to cool down the house. One of the biggest energy hogs in a home is the air conditioning system, and by keeping it on too often, you are going to spend a lot of money on your electricity bill.\nBuilding A New Custom Green Home\nThink outside of the box. While many people think ‘solar’ panels when they think of green energy, there are other ways to take advantage of the sun. If you are building a new custom home, consider incorporating passive solar design into the house. By building with materials such as concrete or adobe, and taking advantage of the sun’s natural heat with south-facing windows, you can create a home that will naturally heat itself in the winter and stay cool in the summer.\nUse the provided information to reduce the amount of resources that it takes to run your home. Contact Bud Bartley Homes, your local DFW green home builder, to discover more energy-efficient home building options.\nYou can also connect with our community on Facebook!

{"text": "Join Paul F. Aubin for an in-depth discussion in this video Fine detail abacus, part of HBIM: Historic Building Re-creation.\n- So let's start digging into our fine detail version of our capital. You may recall that the capital is actually made up of several nested families, and one of the first ones we looked at in the medium detail version was the one that I'm illustrating on screen here. This was the abacus and the bell. So the bell was just a simple cylindrical form here, and the abacus was just this simple extrusion at the top with the wedge-shaped sides. Now, switching over to Revit, I've created a starting file here for our fine detail version, and you'll notice that the sides are now using these curves.\nSo that makes them a little bit more detailed and a little bit more appropriate for our fine detail representation. Now what I want to do here, is you may recall in the medium detail version, that we talked about this rig here, this collection of reference lines that was used to drive the shape of this form. And I've copied that rig off to the side, so that we can dig into it a little bit more detailed. And what I want to do in specific is, I want to create the missing arc. So you can see I've only got three arcs right now, I want to add the fourth one in here. And so to do that, we can dig a little deeper into some of the features of this whole rig approach.\nSo, the key is to use a Reference Line, and more importantly, to use the Reference Line with 3D Snapping. 3D Snapping is a very powerful feature that allows us to, of course, snap to things in 3D, as its name implies, but, if we're using this option here, which should turn on by default, this Draw on Face option, then it also creates relationships and connections between the various parts and pieces, so, what we want to do here, is make sure that this is on, make sure 3D snapping is on, and then notice that you're able to highlight one of the existing reference lines.\nSo I'm going to click right on this one, and then come across and click on that one. And I'll cancel out of the command. Now I deliberately drew it at a angle there, just to kind of show you the way this works. Notice that you can select one of those points now, and a couple things, you're going to see a small little plane going through that point, and, if you look at is over on the Properties palette, it will have this Normalized Curve Parameter. Now, we talked about that in the previous movie, but if you want, you can manipulate this, and change the value, and notice that that actually drives the location of the Associated Reference Line.\nAnd so that's really the key, that's what we're looking for, is that as these points move around, they're changing the shape of this Reference Line. So, I need one more thing for my rig. I still have to locate where this midpoint is. So all I need to do, is click the Point Element, and once again, make sure that Draw on Face is turned on, it should by default, but that's a really important aspect of this, and this time, I want to click right on this line, but specifically, exactly at the midpoint. Now when you do that, sometimes it doesn't show up right away, so, if you just pan the screen it will make it appear.\nCancel out of the command, and you should now have a point right there, that point, when you look at the properties, should be at exactly 0.5. And we're going to leave it there. So all that means now, is, if you come back and take this point, and drag it, not only is it changing the shape of the overall line, but notice that it keeps moving that point, but that point there remains at the midpoint. And so that's really the key, is we're building this rig that's a connection of pieces. So the overall rectangle that was already here, is being driven by these two parameters.\nAnd then, when those parameters flex, it changes the locations of these two reference points. When those points flex, it changes the length of the line. And when the line's length or angle changes, it changes the location of this reference point. So it's the hip bone connected to the knee bone, knee bone connected to the shin bone, and so on. Right, so you're kind of getting all of these interconnected relationships that will drive everything without the need for a bunch of extra parameters. I do need one parameter, I need a parameter to say how far off the corners I want these Reference Points to be placed.\nNow, I've already got that parameter. If we look over here, at one of the existing points, scroll down, it's currently at 9.78, and, it's actually using Segment Length. So, what we need to do is actually two things here, I need to take these two points, and I'm just going to hold my Ctrl key down, and select both points, it should say Reference Points (2) here. And if it says anything other than Reference Points, then you want to try and select again. So it needs to say Reference Points. And, when we scroll down, it's currently set to Normalized Curve Parameter.\nWhich, if you recall, is a value between zero and one. So it's sort of a percentage along the length of the line. Well, we want to change that to Segment Length, so that we can set the distance in units, instead. So, I'll set it directly in units, and then, maybe try a value of about 18. Okay, now I'm just making up a number here, but, notice what happened. This one is measuring 18 from this corner, this one is measuring 18 from this corner. So we're almost there, but we want them both to measure from the same side.\nSo, I'm going to select only this point, and then scroll down here, and instead of measuring from the beginning, I'm going to measure from the end. And then when I change this to 18, notice that it now snaps to the other end. So now, I'll select both points again, and I don't really want it at 18, I want it at that 9.78, right? Well I've already got a parameter for that, so instead of setting 9.78 here, I'll just click in this Associate Family Parameter button, and choose the parameter that I've called Abacus Midpoint.\nAnd the reason I called it Abacus Midpoint, is because ultimately this line, is setting where the midpoint of this curve is, so that's why I named it that. But anyway, you can see that it moves, and sets this to 9.78, or whatever that value was. So now I'm ready to draw my arc. Now your arc is also going to be a Reference Line. So I'm going to click Reference Line, and I want the Start-End Radius Arc. Now the Start-End Radius Arc also can use 3D Snapping, which is really powerful, because if you pick your points, so you now have an arc, that has these Reference Points that control the shape of the arc.\nNow here's the thing that's a little counter intuitive about this. Let me delete this one. Go back to here, Start-End Radius Arc. Turn on 3D Snapping, make sure that this Draw on Face is turned on. If you click on an existing point, so just put your mouse right over that existing point, up at the top there. If it doesn't highlight and say point, you can type SX on your keyboard to force it to snap to that point, but it should find it on its own. When you click that point, it won't draw a new point, it will inherit the one that's already there.\nSo I'm going to come down here and pick this one, not this one, but this one, right here. That's my end point, and then, finally, this one is going to be the midpoint of that arc. And click it again. And if I cancel the command, do a little window selection around one of those points, notice there's only one point there. Notice there's only one point here. So when you click directly on that point with 3D Snapping, Revit is smart enough to just assume the existing point and not create another one in the same spot.\nSo now you should have a nice chain here, and if I highlight, you'll see that it highlights all the curves and there's actually four little straight lines in there, as well, so when you click, it should select eight elements. So over here, it should say Reference Lines (8). If it says anything else, then you want to double-check your selection. And with that selected, you can click the Create Form button and it will suggest either a Solid or a Plane. Now, I'll click Solid there, and it extrudes it up. But you may recall that our column capital actually is built down, so what I can do, is come over here on the Properties palette, and the bottom, I want actually at 11 and a half parts, or 11 and a half units below, and the top I don't want to go up at all, so I want to set that to zero.\nSo when I just set those two numbers there, and apply it, you'll see it pop down to the correct location, just like it is over here. Now, to finish this up, the molding is not actually just squared off like this, it actually has a nice set of molding curves that uses some OG Profiles and so on, so, it turns out that I've already placed a separate family here in the file. Now, one of the things you need to know about the Masking Environment is we can do things that are, basically just like Sweeps, but you can't use a Profile to drive a Sweep in the Masking Environment.\nEverything that you build in the Masking Environment has to be 3D geometry, or it has to use model lines, or Reference Lines. So, the way to work around that, is you can actually just create a Generic Model Family, in the Traditional Family Editor, and draw model lines in that family. And that's what I have right here, so I'm going to select this family, and click Edit Family. And that's just going to take me to the Traditional Masking Environment. This is a face-based family, so it's got a generic face here. And if we look at it in Plan View, you know, it looks a little bit complicated, but, there's a couple curves here that are being driven by some formulas, and there's a little bit of trigonometry in here to make all these curves work correctly.\nWe have a course here, in the library, called Family Curves and Formulas, and I detail in there exactly how to create this kind of curvature, and where to get that center point exactly, and how to set that formula. So if you want to learn more about how this was approached, you can watch that course, or watch the movies on creating OG Curves in that course. But meanwhile, I've got this file already here and ready to go, so let me just close it, I'm not going to save it. And all we have to do, to create 3D Form from this, is come back and select our same chain of Reference Lines.\nThat chain of Reference Lines, it should say Reference Lines (8) again, it's the four arcs and the four little short lines, that's going to be the path of our Sweep. Then we're going to hold down the Ctrl Key, and click this Generic Model. That's going to be our Profile. So in the Masking Environment, you always select your geometry first, and then you just click Create Form. And you can see there's only that single Create Form button there. Now the way this is going to work is, Revit will be smart enough to figure out that you've got a Profile, or a Generic Model in this case, perpendicular to the path, so it will assume that you want a swept form.\nNow, I could do a Solid Sweep, but actually, in this case, what I want to do is create a Void Form. And, when I do that, you see it will take this shape that we have, and treat it almost like a router bit, and it goes around and it kind of carves that away from the entire molding. And you can see the final result looks like that. Now if you put your mouse over here, and you kind of Tab a few times, you can get that 3D form, and you can see that that's the Void Form, right there that it created. If I isolate that, right, you can see what that looks like.\nSo it just swept that shape all the way around. And let me just reset the Isolate there. And that's the final version of our fine detail abacus and bell.\n- Researching source materials and source drawings\n- Sketching and modeling architecture\n- Setting up the project in Revit\n- Modeling overall forms\n- Using system families\n- Adding details such as columns and moldings\n- Creating an interior model\n- Rendering the project", "label": "No"}

The robot, nicknamed “Survival”, can dodge unforeseen objects, change its route if obstructed and stop whenever necessary.\nDeveloped entirely by Ford engineers, the company says it is the first of its kind to be used in any of the company’s European facilities.\n“We programmed it to learn the whole of the plant floor so, together with sensors, it doesn’t need any external guides to navigate,” Eduardo García Magraner, engineering manager, at Ford’s state-of-the-art body and stamping plant in Valencia, Spain, where the robot is being trialled, said.\n“When it first started you could see employees thinking they were in some kind of sci-fi movie, stopping and staring as it went by. Now they just get on with their jobs knowing the robot is smart enough to work around them.”\nAccording to Ford, delivering spare parts and welding material to different stations around the plant is a crucial element in keeping Kuga, Mondeo and S-MAX production going. For Ford workers though, the task is time-consuming and relatively mundane.\nIn a statement, the company said the robot does not replace employees but can save up to 40-employee hours every day by taking over this role, allowing operators to use their time on more complex tasks.\nThe robot is equipped with an automated shelf that has 17 slots to hold materials of different weights and sizes. To avoid errors, the opening and closing of these slots is automated, meaning operators in each area only have access to the materials assigned to them.\n“Survival” is one of a number of smart robots employed in Ford’s European facilities, including the “Robutt” and co-bots in Cologne, Germany. The self-driving robot uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to visualise its surroundings, a technology also used in Ford’s prototype autonomous vehicles.\nDHL Express has appointed Alberto Nobis as its new CEO for Europe, paving the way for his return to the Global Management Board of DHL Express.\nALberto was the Global CFO for DHL Express from 2009 to 2012 before relocating to his home country of Italy in 2013.

We trust that we will benefit from TMHA’s wealth of knowledge in the industry in Australia to increase our productivity, while staying ahead of our competition.”\nJason Fennell, Corporate Account Manager at TMHA, said local discussions with NewCold began in October 2016 and a decision was made in May 2017.\n“We received a request to assist NewCold from our corporate division and worked from there,” he said.\n“NewCold uses a variety of suppliers and products in Europe. However, the core business is to be able to pick orders, replenish stock, load and unload required deliveries, and store required long-life stocks on a 24/7 basis.\n“This is the company’s first development in Australia, so we are committed to working with them to develop the relationship and ensure we cover all the material handling requirements, as well as making this process easy for the customer.”\nThe initial equipment roster for NewCold’s Melbourne facilities includes 21 BT electric pallet jacks, 10 Toyota 8-Series FBE18 three-wheel electric forklifts, seven BT RRE140H reach trucks, four Toyota 32-8FG30 internal combustion forklifts, a pair of 32-8FG18 Toyota forklifts, a BT RRE250H reach truck and four battery chargers.\nDHL Parcel and Volkswagen are launching a joint pilot project in Berlin in which Volkswagen will deploy 50 VW Polos to be used as mobile addresses for the delivery of their DHL parcels.\nThe project partners have worked in recent months to develop and test a solution for in-car delivery. The vehicles are fitted with the required equipment for in-car delivery, called ‘We Deliver’ by Volkswagen. To use the new service, customers need to register with DHL Parcel and enter their trunk as the delivery location in their customer profile.\n“Since we’ve already tested car drop delivery successfully in other projects in Germany and continue to offer it for Smart drivers, we’re pleased to win Volkswagen as another partner – our partnership allows us to offer this attractive service to an even broader target group,” says Achim Dünnwald, CEO, DHL Parcel. “As an innovation leader in the parcel sector, our objective at DHL Parcel is to be able to offer in-car delivery as an option to as many recipients as possible in Germany, offering personalised processes to make the sending and receiving parcels even easier for our customers.”\nThe VW Polo driver will be notified via email about the delivery process and receive a delivery notice when a parcel has been delivered to the vehicle’s trunk. During the ordering process in an online shop, the driver can specify a two-hour time slot between 10am and 9pm during which DHL will deliver the parcel. For delivery, the vehicle will need to be parked in a place accessible to the parcel courier. Possible delivery sites include the office parking lot, a park-and-ride facility, or any other address at which the vehicle is located during the time slot specified during the order.\nThe DHL parcel courier receives the delivery location information from the DHL Delivery app, which provides vehicle’s exact position via GPS. The app also issues a single-use, time-limited code to access the vehicle. In combination with the customer-specific car ID, which the recipient receives from Volkswagen and provides as part of the delivery address, the courier can open the vehicle’s trunk. Once the courier closes the trunk, the access code is cancelled. Not only can the VW Polo drivers receive parcels, they can also leave returns in the trunk to be picked up.\nE-commerce behemoth Amazon has leased its first distribution centre in Australia, ahead of the rollout of its business here in the coming 12 months.\nThe Australian Financial Review has shared property agent CBRE has helped the online retailer decide upon a 24,387sqm warehouse on a 7.7-hectare site formerly occupied by Bunnings in Dandenong, southeast of Melbourne in Victoria.\nThe facility has been vacant since Bunnings moved to another Dandenong warehouse, and has been available for lease since October 2014, the AFR added.\nAmazon is also rumoured to have selected its first Sydney location. ChannelNews has reported that the company is believed to have made a deal for a large fulfilment facility in Eastern Creek, at the Oakdale Industrial Estate.\nThe estate is owned by the Goodman Group, the same property agent that has helped Amazon set up its warehouse network across Europe and the US.\nAccording to ChannelNews, Amazon’s Australian warehouses will be robotic and set up by US logistics fit-out specialists in the coming months.\nOn Wednesday 30 March UK Prime Minister Theresa May invoked Article 50 to begin negotiations for Britain’s exit from the European Union. The British International Freight Association (BIFA) – the trade body representing the UK’s freight forwarding companies – responded with a statement noting that speculation on the outcome of the move cannot yet be made, and the Association will aid the government in traversing the path ahead for trade.\n“In the run up to the UK’s eventual exit we will be working with Government to try and ensure that the movement of the UK’s visible import and export trade does not become overburdened by over complicated trade procedures,” said Robert Keen, Director General, BIFA.\n“Clearly there are significant areas of concern for our members, which are responsible for much of the physical movement of that trade, over the eventual outcome, including the physical infrastructure, trade arrangements and Customs practices that will be reviewed as part of the Brexit negotiations,” he added.\n“I have already gone on the record to warn about the huge number of pundits offering solutions when nobody really knows what is likely to happen in reality.\n“BIFA’s focus now will be presenting the views of our members to the various government departments that we deal with, as well as working with organisations such as the Confederation of British Industry and International Chamber of Commerce to make sure that all parties negotiating the post-Brexit landscape are fully aware of the potential challenges for which they will need to find solutions.”", "label": "No"}

{"text": "1. What is FORGE?\nThe Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) will be a research site in the United States that allows scientists and engineers to develop and test new technologies for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS are the next frontier in geothermal energy: human-made geothermal reservoirs with the potential to generate approximately 100 gigawatts (GW) of renewable, baseload power in the United States – about 10% of current U.S. power production capacity. Because EGS technology has the potential to transform the clean energy sector, the Energy Department today announced plans to launch FORGE as a field laboratory devoted entirely to accelerating our understanding of how best to create new, large-scale EGS anywhere that has accessible hot rock underground.\n2. What is the purpose of FORGE?\nThe purpose of FORGE is to accelerate cutting-edge geothermal research that, by the conclusion of the project, could lead to replicable, commercial pathways to EGS and the growth of geothermal energy outside of just the western United States. Based on a foundation of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, FORGE will openly share its data in real-time, advancing scientific research, technology testing and instrumentation that could benefit the wider scientific community, industry and, eventually, the general public. This breakthrough research and data-sharing effort, coupled with an equally innovative collaboration and management platform, is truly a first-of-its-kind endeavor.\n3. How does FORGE broaden the U.S. domestic energy portfolio?\nEngineers can potentially create EGS reservoirs – designed to allow efficient heat extraction when water flows through them – anywhere we find accessible hot rock. These systems emit little to no carbon pollution, and water vapor is the only appreciable emission. EGS also have the advantage of providing reliable baseload power and can still be ramped up to generate more electricity during periods of peak demand. Currently, nearly all the 12 GW of geothermal installed capacity in the world taps naturally occurring hydrothermal resources.\n4. Where will FORGE be located?\nThis is where you come in! To kick off the FORGE effort, the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) today released a funding opportunity announcement asking energy scientists, researchers and industry experts to propose candidate sites and operational teams for FORGE.\nFollowing a rigorous review process, the Energy Department will select up to 10 potential teams – which will include a proposed FORGE operator and site – for phase one planning. During this phase, teams will complete technical and logistical assessments to demonstrate their site’s viability in achieving FORGE’s objectives. After completing the planning phase, the Energy Department may select up to three of those teams to move on to phase two, which would include permitting and site characterization work. Subject to appropriations, a single team may be selected to move to phase three to develop and operate the FORGE site.\n5. What sort of research and development activities will be conducted at FORGE?\nFORGE will strengthen our understanding of the key mechanisms critical to EGS success – in particular how to initiate and sustain fracture networks in rock formations using different technologies. Equipped with this knowledge, engineers at the FORGE site will design and test large-scale, economically sustainable heat-exchange systems, paving the way for a rigorous and repeatable approach to EGS that could encourage growth in this emerging industry.\nAdditional research planned within FORGE may include innovative drilling techniques, well connectivity, and flow-testing efforts. The project also includes around-the-clock monitoring of geophysical and geochemical data and dynamic models to synthesize, predict, and verify reservoir properties and performance. All of the research and development projects planned for FORGE will be competitively selected and open to the scientific and engineering community, small businesses, academia, and others in the subsurface industry.\n6. How will FORGE be managed?\nFORGE will be a collaborative effort, with participation from industry, academia, and the national labs. At its core, the FORGE effort will be guided by a proposed science, technology, and analysis team that will include representatives from the Energy Department and outside technical experts. The selected site operator will have responsibility for day-to-day operations. The Energy Department will serve as the final decision-making authority on priorities and approaches.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Meet the team behind the app\nThe idea for Ordoo originated from a stressfully busy lunch break. I was grabbing a fresh baguette from my favourite spot and got stuck at the back of a 15 minute queue.\nI was so bored that I started to read some research on my smartphone at the back of the queue. My research at the time was on Digital Payments and, as I read this particular article, it struck me that the future of digital payments was mobile payments and mobile ordering.\nI should be able to send my pre-paid order from my smartphone to the venue and collect it when they let me know it’s ready. This would save me loads of time and remove the payment and ordering steps in their operations!\nSo, Ordo was born. It’s not a spelling mistake. The company has changed names from Ordo to Ordable, before settling on Ordoo.

{"text": "Juana Golden Harbor Freight January 04th, 2020 - 01:18:03\nA brief word on charcoal. Briquettes are, by far, the most popular charcoal type. They light quickly and burn consistently. However, briquettes are made with additives, and those additives produce more ash. Lump charcoal (made by an oxygen deprived burning of hardwood) has no additives, produces less ash, burns much hotter than briquettes, and imparts a slight essence of the native wood to foods. But the biggest advantage of lump over briquettes is that lump can be added directly to the fire because all of the toxins have been burned out of the lump charcoal. Briquettes must be pre-burned; that means another chimney of coals before adding to the fire.\nPurchase a simple multi-tester or multi-meter for less than ten dollars and perform the following test. With the car off, leave the headlights on for about 2-3 minutes. Set an alarm so you do not drain the battery, and turn the headlights off when it goes off. This will remove any surface charge. Set the multi-tester dial so it registers in the 20 Volt DC range. You can read the multi-tester instructions or research its use online. A multi-tester is very simple to use. Touch the red lead to the positive battery terminal, and the black one to the negative. A healthy, fully charged battery should read around 12.5-12.8 Volts. This will vary with temperature (lower temperatures mean lower voltage), but should never be below 12 Volts. Another optional suggestion is to touch the black multi-tester lead to your engine or a metal part of the vehicle. If the voltage is substantially lower you may have a bad cable connection.\nNow use a grease pencil and mark tile to be cut. If you only have a few cuts you can even take them to Lowes and have the tech cut alone your lines but you better be good. Now let this all dry if you have any areas where you did not install the tile do to it is not cut yet, use a putty knife and scrape the wall clean. It is much easier to clean now while wet than after it dry's clean all your tools. And let it sit for 24 hours. Come back and mix your grout, modern grout's have dry acrylic in them already but manufacturers vary so check read the label you might have to add wet additive. Now the trowel that puts grout on the wall is a hard rubber bottom that is real smooth.\nThe prime example of this is for those who require a method to load the items on or off of the truck will need to order a hydraulic liftgate, which is a steel mechanical platform on the back of a truck. If a liftgate has been requested, the truck driver will come equipped with a pallet jack, another type of heavy lifting device used by LTL carriers used to wheel the freight into the proper position for loading/unloading. If the shipment is light enough to be lifted manually on to the truck or the shipper has a forklift or other hoisting device, customers can forego this excess cost.\nPrior to the tool, boards were cut out in partial sections, next came along a hammer and chisel. All the remaining splinters needed removal plus nails if it was a nail down fastened floor. This tool can slice nails in one pass or remove older adhesives in simple fashion. In previous days a hand held floor scraper or sharp chisel was needed for the work.\nUnfortunately for older glued floating hardwood floors, the multifunction tool does not provide all the accessories to complete a repair. These floors require a groove cleanout so they can effectively fit together again. Otherwise re-attachment is not possible without the final outcome looking like a repair. They simply will not engage and you're left with a repair board that will not fit back into place. Attempting to clean the glue with hand tools may work, but will take longer and is likely to cause damage to the surface of the board itself.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Iowa leads the nation in ethanol production and for the industry to continue expanding, experts say a better delivery system is needed. Iowa Democrats Senator Tom Harkin and Representative Leonard Boswell are co-sponsoring a bill in Congress that would spend two-million dollars to study the use of pipelines for transporting the corn-based fuel. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican, says he’d be on-board.\nGrassley says: \"It would be a way of moving it very efficiently from one point of production to end usage and I would support studies in that area.\" The proposed study would weigh the feasibility of using new or existing pipelines to move ethanol from plants in Iowa and elsewhere to parts of the country where demand for the fuel is high.\nGrassley says from what he’s learned, existing pipelines would not be a viable option. Grassley says, \"The reason why a separate pipeline is necessary is that ethanol has some moisture in it, not compatible with use in petroleum pipelines or natural gas pipelines.\"\nEthanol is moved mostly by rail now, while pipelines are used for the bulk of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Iowa ethanol plants produced about one-quarter of the nation’s ethanol in 2006. The state has 25 plants in operation with at least 21 expanding or under construction.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "10 HELPFUL TIPS TO GET YOUR VEHICLE ROAD-READY FOR FALL\nCanada is one of the few countries in the world that experiences all four seasons, each with its own driving challenges. And in the autumn, sometimes you can experience all four in one day. On this page you’ll see some tips and tricks to help you navigate the roads this fall.\n“Your road to more savings and a greener planet doesn’t stop at the checkout counter. Your driving habits, driving conditions and proper maintenance will affect the kind of savings you’ll achieve,” said Carolyn Goard communications manager for the Tire and Rubber Association of Canada.\n--Check your breaks and tires--\nIf your tires have wear bars showing, it is a good idea to replace those before the Fall. As the weather gets colder be sure to check your tire pressure to ensure it meets the recommended requirements.\n--Check your lights--\nAs Fall approaches and darkness comes earlier it is important to check that all of your lights are working properly. Headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights and emergency flashers, replace these if broken and make sure they are clean.\n--Replace wiper blades--\nMake sure your blades are in good condition. If you notice they are not clearing the windshield or the rubber is cracked it is a good idea to replace them.\n--Make sure the heater/defroster work--\nTest both the heater and the front and rear defroster to ensure they are properly working. If not be sure to have them fixed.\n--Check your battery--\nAs the temperatures start to drop in the Fall season it is imperative that you have a fully charged battery. Have the battery and charging system inspected by a trained technician, especially if you see signs of corrosion or spot any loose connections.\n--Inspect under the hood--\nLook for leaks, cracks or loose clamps in the cooling system. Squeeze hoses and be sure to replace any that have that spongy-feeling of brittle. Don't forget to check the drive belts for fraying and replace if need be.\n--Change the oil and air filter--\nIf it has been awhile since your last oil change be sure to get one before the Fall season, check your air filter. If you can't see light through it, it may be time to replace it.\n--Refill cooling system--\nCheck the coolant level in the overflow tank when the engine is cold. If the level is too low, add a 50/50 solution of water and coolant to allow proper antifreeze capability. It may be necessary to refill the cooling system.\n--Check all fluid levels--\nBe sure to check all fluids such as transmission, washer, brake and power steering. It is a good idea to have these at or above minimum safe levels.\n--Detail and wash your car--\nHaving a clean, detailed car will enable you to spot possible problems.\nStop into Hollis Ford in Truro and we will check your tire tread at no charge and give you an evaluation of their condition.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "It was just on dark, April 4, 1902; the weather was taking a turn for the worse, and among the fleet of ships that appeared off Newcastle, NSW, hoping to enter harbour, was one of the world’s biggest three-masters, the 311-foot-long (95m) Ditton.\nThe harbour, apparently, was already reasonably crowded, and there were two fully laden ships – The Port Crawford and the Peeblesshire – tied up at the so-called “farewell buoys” in the channel, ready to leave next day. It was a situation fraught with danger and, unfortunately, the danger was not avoided.\nThe Ditton and her sister ship Speke had been launched in 1891, towards the end of the sailing ship era. They were said to have been the largest steel-hulled sailing ships ever built, yet despite their great length they carried only three masts. The Speke was wrecked at Phillip Island, Victoria, in 1904. The Ditton lasted until 1921, but its visit to Newcastle in 1902 was perhaps its moment of greatest fame.\nWhen the events of the evening of April 4 were considered at an inquiry later that year, many wondered why only one tug was sent to bring in such a big ship in such squally weather when the harbour was so crowded. The Newcastle Morning Herald reported that, earlier in the day, two other ships had already found themselves in trouble, thanks to the south-westerly gale, and it only due to hard work by harbour tugs that they were safely berthed.\nHaving just arrived from Melbourne, the Ditton was taken in tow by the J&A Brown tug Champion, with pilot Caskey overseeing the operation. As it happened, once the ship was safely around Nobbys, the tug was almost irrelevant. The towing hawser was slack as the ship was pushed along by the wind. The pilot later insisted he had instructed the ship’s mate to be ready to drop the anchors at a moment’s notice, but when it became apparent that the giant ship was certain to ram the two loaded vessels lying at the Farewell Buoys, it was claimed that the starboard anchor was fouled and could not be dropped. Minutes were wasted and by the time an anchor was let go the momentum was unstoppable.\nThe long spike boom projecting from the Ditton’s bow smashed through the rigging of the Port Crawford. Spars came tumbling from the Port Crawford’s masts, snapping off the Ditton’s boom. The Port Crawford was cannoned into the nearby Peeblesshire, and the three ships wound up locked together in a spectacular embrace. It was about 6.45pm when the collision occurred. It was pouring rain, and squally, and many expected at least one of the ships to sink. Many of the crew of the Port Crawford abandoned ship, launching a boat and heading to shore. One luckless member of the Ditton’s crew, 23-year-old James Hobbs, had been sent out onto the ship’s jibboom to stow a sail, and after the crash he was nowhere to be found. The light of day revealed his body, crushed under the mess of smashed rigging. He was buried in Sandgate Cemetery.\nIt was an expensive accident. Both the Port Crawford – loaded with coal for San Francisco – and the Peeblesshire – loaded with coal for Burma – were seriously delayed and the damage to the Port Crawford was especially severe.

{"text": "Friday, February 3, 2012\nReality Check on Joule\nCompanies entering commercialization tend to make some pretty bombastic claims. Among them is a company called Joule Unlimited, which was recently reported by Biofuels Digest to claim a yield of up to 25,000 gallons of ethanol per acre from the sugar produced by their product, comparing it to a yield of roughly 800 gallons per acre planted in sugarcane.\nNumbers like that don't tend to inspire confidence in me. Over thirty times the yield? Time for a reality check.\nThere are really two ways we could go about this. The simplest one is to simply compare the amount of energy in the ethanol Joule claims to yield and compare it to the amount of insolation, or solar input. That's right, it's the chemical engineer's old friend, the energy balance.\nFor context, there are a couple of things that we should know. Sugarcane gathers energy Since Joule's system uses cyanobacteria, we can look at typical photosynthetic efficiencies among plants and microorganisms - for high efficiency plants like sugarcane, 1%; for high efficiency blue-green algae, 2-3%. Finally, we need to take a look at what solar resources are available. This map comes originally from NREL and describes the input to a tracking solar panel (it follows the sun), so it should serve as a good proxy. Let's take a good insolation value in the US to be 6 kWh/m^2/day.\nFor a 25,000 gallons of ethanol per acre per year yield, the energy content is 2.22e6 MJ. On the other side of the equation, total solar input is 3.2e7 MJ/acre over the course of a year. If we divide the two to get a simple efficiency, we get about 7%.\nIn reality, Joule's system is not designed to produce ethanol but sugar, which involves even greater energy input. However, we can already see that the claim that they have is more than twice what can be considered the best of what nature has produced, unless they really have discovered something that radically defies all previous biotechnology. If we assess this claim on the basis of sugar, then we're likely to discover even more ridiculous stuff, since the native sugar contains more energy than ethanol.\nIn an anaerobic fermentation, two ethanol molecules are produced from each sugar molecule. Returning again to what 25,000 gallons of ethanol implies, it's 1.62e6 moles, which implies an origin in about 8.1e5 moles of sugar. Wikipedia tells me the combustion enthalpy is -2805 kJ/mol, so the total production of Joule's claimed system is 2.27e6 MJ. This boosts the efficiency up to about 7.1%, not much more, but still twice as good as the best nature produces.\nJoule has failed the reality check. That was an ideal case, where we assumed no photosynthetic metabolism to help the bacteria in cellular processes or reproduce; the likely metabolic requirements to produce the sugar means the claimed efficiency of the cyanobacteria Joule uses must be even higher. Their photosynthesis levels are, roughly speaking, over two times higher than I'd even believe advanced biotech is able to produce on the basis of sugar yields alone; if you include cell growth and other uses of the sugar, I'd estimate four or five.\nThis analysis does not say that Joule will not have a great product. This is also not to say that Joule isn't run by smart people. Note that even reducing their reported yield by a full order of magnitude is still about three times better than sugarcane, the one first generation biofuel that is truly, in my opinion, going to be with us to the end. But these incredibly bombastic claims are emblematic of a lot of biofuels companies pretty much playing very fast and loose with science, and hoping nobody will notice.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Full-cream milk, deep-fried foods, calorie-rich salad dressing... these are 'fat' hazards that increase the calorie count in your food.\nThe best way to cut these down is to adopt healthier cooking methods.\nHere are some sensible cooking tips to help you eat healthier.\n~ Skim milk and its products are a must. For instance, have skim milk paneer or tofu (made of soyabean) instead of processed cheese and cheese spreads (which have a high fat content).\nHave shrikhand (no puris please) or fruit yoghurt instead of fat rich ice creams.\n~ If skim milk is too expensive, prepare it at home.\nBoil milk the previous night. Cool and refrigerate. Next morning, remove the cream (malai) layer that has formed on the top. Heat the milk again and use as desired.\n~ A low calorie, high protein cheese spread can be prepared using skim milk curd.\nPut the curd in a muslin cloth and hang it for a few hours to drain the excess whey (taak). Add salt, finely chopped green chillies and garlic to this thickened curd and mix well. If you wish, you may also add grated carrot. Refrigerate and use within a week.\n~ Bake cutlets/ kebabs instead of frying them.\nOnce you shape the cutlets, coat them with oats, place them on a lightly greased baking tray and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake in a moderately hot oven until golden brown, turning the cutlets to the other side about half way through.\nIf you do not have an oven, do not despair.\n~ Grill the cutlets on a non-stick frying pan.\nFirst, brush the cutlets with olive oil, then place on the heated frying pan. Lower the flame, cover and allow to fry slowly till golden brown. Shake the frying pan occasionally to prevent the cutlets from sticking to it. When one side is golden brown, turn cutlets over and fry the other side in the same manner.\n~ Here is what I do with paneer:\nTo fry paneer, heat a non-stick pan. Then lower the flame, place the paneer cubes on it and allow to fry over a slow fire till all the whey that comes from the paneer evaporates. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure the paneer cubes do not stick.\nAdd half a teaspoon of oil and fry till the cubes are golden brown on both sides.\n~ In order to use less oil in chapattis, knead the dough with skim milk instead of water. Do not add any oil while roasting.\n~ Make it a habit to cook with less oil. Ideally, the oil consumption for a family of five members should not exceed 1-1 ¼ litre per month.\nIf you love fried food, fry with as little oil as possible. If you can afford it, use non-stick pans for cooking as it allows you to cook the same way but with much lesser quantities of oil. Needless to say, this cuts down on calories too.\n~ Season (bagar) spices or onion with one teaspoon of oil, then keep adding a tablespoon of water at a time till the onions have cooked.\n~ Slice onions finely. Bake in the oven till golden brown and use in biryani instead of the traditional fried onions.\n~ Roast papads instead of frying them. All fried snacks can be made healthier by baking them.\n~ When shopping for snacks, pick up readymade baked versions of traditionally fried snacks like chivda, khakra, etc.\n~ Use cooking methods such as steaming, baking, poaching, grilling (in the oven or in a frying pan by brushing with oil and cooking on a slow flame) or stewing instead of frying to cut down on the amount of oil you need.\nSay goodbye to fat\n~ Remove all visible fat from the meat and skin of the chicken before cooking.\n~ You can also scoop out congealed fat from meat or chicken stock, soups and stews by refrigerating them for a few hours before use.\n~ Use palak puree, tomato puree, bottle gourd (dudhi) puree or onion puree instead of mava or other nuts needed to prepare dishes containing kadai or makhani gravies. All you have to do is to grind any of the above and fry it in just a teaspoon of oil before adding the masala powders and vegetable or chicken or paneer to obtain rich and thick gravy. Add one or two teaspoons of milk cream (malai) to add flavour.\n~ Cut out on the mayonnaise in salad dressings by using low fat or skim milk curd along with herbs and seasonings instead.\n~ Substitute cream in sauces and gravies by using the same amount of skim milk instead of cream. Thicken the mixture with cornflour to get a rich, creamy texture.\n~ Limit consumption high fat foods such as butter, cream, cream sauces, mayonnaise, milk cream, salad dressings containing oil and fried foods.\n~ When eating out or at parties choose grilled or baked items instead of fried ones for starters. Alternately, you could skip the starters and order a soup.\n~ Choose dishes for the main course carefully. Have plain rice, chapattis, rotis or bread instead of parathas, nans, fried rice, biryani or baturas, if the side dishes are going to contain rich gravies.\nPart II: Is your cooking oil safe?\nRohini Cardoso e Diniz is a consultant dietician with Naomi's Fitness Centre and manages a private practice in Goa.", "label": "No"}

Mummy teeth and bones record the ratio of stable oxygen isotopes (18O and 16O) of their drinking water, which was ultimately the Nile River water.\nVariations in this stable isotope ratio reflect changes in precipitation patterns over the source regions of the Blue (Lake Tana, Ethiopia) and White Nile (Lake Victoria, Tanzania and Uganda). A progressive increase of the 18O/16O ratios of mummy skeletal remains indicates a precipitation decrease of about 140 mm per year while mean air temperatures remained rather constant.\nOxygen isotope variations between bones, tooth enamel and dentine belonging to the same individuals also raise questions about specific dietary changes that may have taken place from the childhood to adulthood transition, or that could be related to movements along the Nile Valley.\nProfessor Christophe Lécuyer received his PhD in petrology and geochemistry in 1989 from the University of Rennes, France, and obtained the same year a position at French CNRS. He worked as a Research Associate at the University of Michigan from 1990 to 1991 where he started to develop a research mainly devoted to past global climatic changes.

{"text": "So, your bokashi has become soil. How strong is it and what can you plant in it?\nAs a completely general rule of thumb, around one-third bokashi and two-thirds soil is a good guide for most plants.\nIf you’re planning to plant rhubarb, pumpkin, or any type of demanding plant you might want to aim for a stronger mix, say half and half. Any stronger than that is probably too strong.\nIf you plant more normal plants in a strong mix they should probably still be fine, they will develop plenty of fruit and flowers etc, but the risk is everything may be larger than you want it. You may get cherry tomatoes that look like regular tomatoes, for example, and even if they still taste great it wasn’t quite what you intended…\nThe problem normally for us gardeners is that we can’t produce enough bokashi for our gardens. A normal family just doesn’t produce enough food waste to fertilize a vegetable garden that would feed a family. So you need to take in bokashi from friends and neighbours, or complement with other forms of fertiliser.\nSo, typically we end up rationing our bokashi, building up one bed at a time.\nIt may take a few years this way to really improve the soil in your beds, but you’ll notice it coming along.\nAfter some years you’ll have such great soil that the bokashi probably won’t make such a difference anymore; however you have to feed the soil in some way to compensate what you harvest, so it’s just to continue on a maintenance level; a bucket here and a bucket there.\nHow can you see when your soil is improving?\nActually, you can normally feel it.\nGood soil looks and smells amazing. It’s full of worms, has some nice variation in texture — some chunky bits, some grainy, sandy bits, and usually a few other small crawly things.\nThe real action, the micro-life, we don’t have a chance of seeing. But it’s the foundation for everything else to work, so if you see worms you know you’ve got a good micro-life.\nThe worms, where do they come from?\nWell, who knows. They seem to just turn up.\nSo many people have told me about gardens devoid of worms, which is a great sadness if you have a gardener’s soul. No worms pretty much equates to impoverished soil. There’s nothing there for them to snack on, basically.\nAnd when these same gardeners have been adding bokashi for a while, they worms just suddenly turn up. From somewhere, we don’t know where, but one day they are just there.\nIf the food is good and they like the conditions otherwise — not too many poisons, moist and airy in the soil, good variety in food supply — they thrive. Multiply efficiently, and get going on their work of building tunnels, moving nutrients around, converting food from one form to another (in one end, out the other basically) and aerating the soil.\nWorms should never, ever be underestimated.\nThey are the magic that you can see in a garden.\nAnd if you have worms, be happy. Everything is working.\nIt’s their message to us: we’re here, therefore it’s good. You’ve done the right thing. This garden is good.\n/Jenny Harlen, Bokashi World", "label": "No"}

{"text": "World War II\nAs World War II began erupting across Europe in 1939, the nation faced changes that effected day-to-day activities. Many Edmond men and women participated in the war effort by serving in the military or supporting the troops from the homefront. An Edmond elementary school, Russell Dougherty, is named after the first Edmond man to be killed during World War II.\nThe Edmond Armory, which now houses the Edmond Historical Society Museum, was built in 1936 just prior to the beginning of the war. The 179th Regiment, a part of the Oklahoma National Guard’s 45th Division, was mobilized from the armory in 1940. The 179th Regiment made more amphibious landings on beaches while under artillery fire than any other regiment in the 45th Division.\nA variety of shortages occurred due to the volume of supplies needed overseas. Salvage campaigns helped save items such as scrap metal, rubber, cooking fat, and nylon/silk stockings. From these items weapons, ammunition, gas masks, and explosives were made. The U.S. Government placed rations on sugar, vegetables, butter, coffee, meat, gasoline, and tires. A family was issued a ration book that contained stamps needed in order to buy these supplies.\nCommunication was difficult during the war. Letter writing was the soldier’s lifeline to home. Letters, written on V-mail, were sent postage free for members of the Armed Forces. Families on the homefront spent evenings surrounding the radio to listen about news of the war. Newspapers were filled with information and casualties of the war.\nBy 1945 the war was ending and life began to return to happier times as Edmond and the nation moved into the second half of the 20th century.\nLibertyFest: Patriotic Traditions\nEvery year on the Fourth of July, Edmond hosts its annual celebration. LibertyFest in Edmond, Oklahoma was selected as one of the top 10 places to be in America on July 4th by CNN & USA Today. It is a week long celebration of the birthday of this great nation and the heritage of our fine state.\nLibertyFest entertains an attendance of over 125,000 annually and is organized and produced by a group of over 500 volunteers.\nOriginal Statue of Liberty Replica on Display at EHSM\nIn 1950, The Boy Scouts of America celebrated their 40th anniversary with their national fundraiser “Strengthen the Arm of Liberty.” Scouts across America raised money to repair the Statue of Liberty in New York’s harbor. Between 1949 and 1952, approximately two hundred, 100-inch replicas of the statue, made of stamped copper, were purchased by Boy Scout troops and donated in 39 states in the U.S. and several of its possessions and territories. The project was the brainchild of Kansas City businessman, J.P. Whitaker, who was then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, Illinois) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scout office by those wanting one. The statues are approximately eight and a half feet tall without the base, constructed of sheet copper, weighed 290 pounds, and originally cost $350 plus freight.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Many people do not, or do not consistently, distinguish in pronunciation between instance and incidence.\nAn incident is “an event, especially one that is unusual, important, or violent” (LDOCE); incidence [usually singular] is “the number of times something happens, especially crime, disease etc”. Despite these dictionary definitions, a quick Google search throws up 35,000 instances (yes!) of isolated incidences.\nI wrote about this on 9 May 2008. Here’s what I said then.\nThe confusion arises because instance and incidence may be pronounced identically in rapid speech. This is because of the possible disappearance of the vowel of the middle syllable of incidence. We can, and often do, go straight from the s to the d, omitting the weak vowel (ə, or a conservative ɪ) that would otherwise stand between them. Since under these circumstances the d, now abutting on a voiceless consonant, gets devoiced, the result is that the -sd̥- of incidence ends up very similar to the -st- of instance.\nIn moderately-paced speech the deleted vowel seems to leave some compensatory lengthening of the preceding consonant: ˈɪn(t)sːd̥ən(t)s.\nIn rapid speech, however, I think this subtlety of timing can be lost, making incidence as good as homophonous with instance.\nAt UCL some of us at one time called this phenomenon ‘pseudo-elision’, as opposed to true elision where the deleted segment supposedly leaves no trace at all.\nWe find the same thing in words such as trinity, comedy, Cassidy, quality, university (can it rhyme with thirsty?). In trinity the tongue tip may remain in place on the alveolar ridge as we pass from the (lengthened?) [n] to the [t], with no intervening vowel.\nAt the time I wrote that, dear readers, you could not comment on it. Now (if you wish) you can.", "label": "No"}

The act of writing about thinking helps students become deeper thinkers and better writers. Teachers and students can use Learning Logs during the formative assessment process, as students record what they are learning and the questions they still have, and teachers monitor student progress toward mastery of the learning targets in their log entries and adjust instruction to meet student needs. By reading student logs and delivering descriptive feedback on what the student is doing well and suggestions for improvement, the teacher can make the Learning Log a powerful tool for learning.\nResponse Logs are a good way to examine student thinking. They are most often connected with response to literature, but they may be used in any content area.

One of the most magnificent Pre-Columbian art styles belongs to the ancient artisans of the pacific coast region of Mexico that lies in the shadow of the 13,000-foot-high volcano, \"Colima\". The full flourishing of the Colima art style produced masterpieces, such as this terracotta funerary mask, that are among the high points in pre-Columbian art. The sculptors brilliantly solved the technical problems inherent in clay and transcended the limitations of their medium. The smooth and shiny tactile quality of this mask coupled with an extraordinary sense of mysterious presence invites us to envision the mystical ritual that this mask most certainly played a role in. In an ancient nocturnal setting, the moon's ancient and haunting rays can still be imagined shining on the mask's glossy surface. This is a face, simple of line but complex of spirit that continues to evoke emotion over the centuries. Who was the face behind the mask? We may never know.

{"text": "Bats are often unfairly depicted as the direct culprit in the current COVID-19 pandemic, yet the real causes of this and other zoonotic spillover events should be sought in the human impact on the environment, including the spread of domestic animals. Here, we discuss bat predation by cats as a phenomenon bringing about zoonotic risks and illustrate cases of observed, suspected or hypothesized pathogen transmission from bats to cats, certainly or likely following predation episodes. In addition to well-known cases of bat rabies, we review other diseases that affect humans and might eventually reach them through cats that prey on bats. We also examine the potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, from domestic cats to bats, which, although unlikely, might generate a novel wildlife reservoir in these mammals, and identify research and management directions to achieve more effective risk assessment, mitigation or prevention. Overall, not only does bat killing by cats represent a potentially serious threat to biodiversity conservation, but it also bears zoonotic implications that can no longer be neglected.\nFile in questo prodotto:\nNon ci sono file associati a questo prodotto.", "label": "No"}

Biscuits, sweets, little cakes and apples were hung on the trees for centuries - to be happily eaten after Christmas. The first nonedible ornaments came in the late 1500's when Martin Luther decided to add candles. This immediately became the new tradition despite the fire hazard. People kept a bucket of water near the tree and hoped for the best. The American version of the decorations added popcorn, cranberries and ribbons.\nBut, we still had candles - and buckets of water. ‘Godey's Ladies Book’ published during the 1800's gave people lots of ideas for homemade ornaments such as colourful paper flowers to make the trees more festive.\nIn the 1850’s, a German company called Lauscha, started making glass bead garlands for Christmas trees. They also introduced the Rauschgoldengel (the Tingled-angel), dressed in pure gilded tin. This was the first Christmas angel on top of a Christmas tree. The glass ornaments reached Britain in the 1870’s, and North America around 1880.\nIn 1882, ornaments were changed forever by Thomas Edison and electricity. The first string of Christmas lights was made by Edward Johnson, a colleague of Edison. He used 80 small electric\nlight bulbs to light up a Christmas tree. By 1890, strings of Christmas lights were being mass-produced.\nBy the turn of the century, large illuminated Christmas trees were a common site.\nToday, we have synthetic Christmas trees, but the decorations haven't really changed over the last 100 years.\n|Illustration / Photography:||Stephen Perera|\n|Printer:||Cartor Security Printers, France|\n|Stamp size:||31.75 x 31.75mm|\n|Stamp Values:||7p, 28p, 38p, 40p, 47p, 53p|", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Look at the amazing things going on in Science at St Paulinus\nHow do we intend to achieve our curriculum vision in Science lessons?\nAt St. Paulinus, during our Summer term we take part in a whole school STEAM week, where children focus their learning around a Scientific matter. Children are encouraged to be creative, think outside the box and develop their Scientific enquiry skills. This is great fun and a fantastic opportunity for children to explore a range of global issues, work together and develop their love of Science.\nWhat does Science teaching look like?\nAt St Paulinus we follow the national Curriculum. The aims of Science at St. Paulinus are that:\nPupils develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics\nPupils develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them\nPupils are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.\nScience is a body of knowledge built up through the experimental testing of ideas. Science is also methodology, a practical way of finding reliable answers to questions we may ask about the world around us. Science in our school is about developing children’s ideas and ways of working that enable them to make sense of the world in which they live through investigation, as well as using and applying process skills. Science is also a collaborative activity where ideas and suggestions are shared and investigated together. Through practical activities and team work, children experience and learn how to work together have mutual respect for one another and value social cohesion.\nAt St. Paulinus Catholic Primary School, we believe that a broad and balanced science education is the entitlement of all children, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, class, aptitude or disability. Our aims in teaching science include:\n- Preparing our children for life in an increasingly scientific and technological world.\n- Fostering concern about, and active care for, our environment.\n- Helping our children acquire a growing understanding of scientific ideas.\n- Helping develop and extend our children’s scientific concept of their world.\n- Developing our children’s understanding of the international and collaborative nature of science.\n- Encouraging the development of positive attitudes to science.\n- Building on our children’s natural curiosity and developing a scientific approach to problems.\n- Encouraging open-mindedness, self-assessment, perseverance and responsibility.\n- Building our children’s self-confidence to enable them to work independently.\n- Developing our children’s social skills to work cooperatively with others.\n- Providing our children with an enjoyable experience of science, so that they will develop a deep and lasting interest and may be motivated to study science further.\n- Giving our children an understanding of scientific processes.\n- Helping our children to acquire practical scientific skills.\n- Developing the skills of investigation – including observing, measuring, predicting, hypothesising, experimenting, communicating, interpreting, explaining and evaluating.\n- Developing the use of scientific language, recording and techniques.\n- Developing the use of ICT in investigating and recording.\n- Enabling our children to become effective communicators of scientific ideas, facts and data.\nOur teaching aims\n- Teach science in ways that are imaginative, purposeful, well managed and enjoyable.\n- Encourage and support children to ask questions about the world and use scientific processes to try and answer them.\n- Support children to make links between science and other subjects.\nScience is a core subject in the National Curriculum.\n3How science is structured at St. Paulinus Catholic Primary School\nAt St. Paulinus Catholic Primary School, planning for science is a process in which all teaching staff are involved. Delivering a broad and balanced science education to our children is a core principle of our school. Science teaching in the school is about excellence and enjoyment. We adapt and extend the curriculum to match the unique circumstances of our school.\nKS1, KS2 and Foundation stage teachers teach science for a minimum of one hour each week.\nIn KS1 and Foundation stage, we aim for a minimum of one third of lessons overall to include practical scientific enquiry.\nIn KS2, we aim for a minimum of 50% of lessons overall to include practical scientific enquiry.\nSt. Paulinus Catholic Primary School ensures that a broad and balanced science curriculum is followed in which enquiry is at the heart of our children’s scientific learning.\nOur science scheme of learning ensures progression between year groups and guarantees topics are revisited. Teachers adapt and modify the model plans to suit their children’s interests, current events, their own teaching style, the use of any support staff and the resources available. We ensure that any modification does not omit any of the NC.\nTo better suit the needs of individual classes, units may have been moved between years or amalgamated, where appropriate. However science is taught every half term throughout the school year. Some units may be taught in collaboration with outside agencies, including neighbouring secondary schools.\nWhat do our outcomes in Science look like? How successful is our Science teaching?\nYou can see some of the impact of our curriculum in the work at the top of the page.

{"text": "This week’s illustrations come from an album of watercolours of St Andrews compiled by John Cook in 1797. It contains the usual views which one might expect to see in this sort of scrapbook: St Andrews from all angles, featuring its distinctive skyline of spires and towers, much the same now as then. But there are also portraits preserved in this album, featuring some of the significant and insignificant inhabitants of the town at the end of the eighteenth century. Unusually, many of these are only shown from the back. These powerfully evocative portraits are full of delightful wigs, brightly-coloured coats, bandy legs, knee breeches and stockings. Almost caricature-like, they bring to life many local men and a small number of women, and, thanks to the captions added by the artist, we can identify some of them.\nSo, why did Cook paint these rear views? Was it just that he couldn’t paint faces? Some of the profiles and full-face paintings which are pasted into the scrapbook do show some strange-looking people, and he does seem to have had particular difficulty with noses!\nI think he just liked looking at things from a different perspective. This view of St Mary’s College must have been done from on top of the wall which extended from the end of the west range across the garden. It shows in sketch the part of the north range which had accommodated the stables and carriage house of the Principal’s House. This was rebuilt in 1828 when the present archway was formed.\nCook also painted views of St Andrews which obviously look unusual to us today, either because the subject of the painting has changed or it contains something out of place to our eyes. This familiar perspective of the town from the West Sands requires a second look (left). Can anyone out there in the blogosphere identify this two-wheeled, single-horse carriage or cart? Is it a gig? Can it be more specifically labelled?\nEven this view of St Mary’s (below) requires today’s viewer to remove walls and trees from the foreground to map to make the painting equate to the present quadrangle.\nSo who was this John Cook? There is an inscription in the album, recording its donation to the University Library in 1904, which outlines his career: lived 1771-1824, minister of the parish of Kilmany in Fife 1793-1802, and occupant of two chairs in the University. He studied and taught in the University under the ‘Hill regime’, when the institution was dominated by George Hill, Professor of Greek from 1772, and Principal of St Mary’s College from 1791-1819. Hill was the outstanding Scottish theologian of the day and leader of the Moderate party in the church but his nepotism has become part of University legend. At one time, six of the thirteen posts on the University senate were occupied by members of his family. Psalm 121 was proverbially popular in St Andrews at this time: “I lift mine eyes to the Hills, from whence cometh my help…”\nJohn Cook, the painter whose work is featured here, held successively the Chairs of Hebrew (1802-9) and Biblical Criticism (1808-24). He married his cousin Elisabeth, eldest daughter of George Hill, since his mother Janet was George Hill’s sister. His father was another John Cook, Professor of Humanity (1769-73) and Moral Philosophy (1773-1815). His brother George was Professor of Moral Philosophy (1828-45) and his son, yet another John Cook, was Professor of Ecclesiastical History (1860-68).\nThe Hill-Cook dynasty contained 36 professors over 150 years. The genealogical details are spelled out in an appropriately backwards and upside-down Register full of biographical information about our Professors, which records the births of, and sadly the deaths of some of, the painter’s 12 siblings and 7 children, as well as the 12 children of George Hill.\nThis nice album is an unusual form of legacy from one of our academic forebears.", "label": "No"}

Five aqueous treatment processes were considered: air stripping, liquid-phase adsorption, steam stripping, biofilm reactor, and combined biodegradation and adsorption (bio-adsorption). Because off gases from air stripping towers are frequently regulated, four off-gas treatment processes also were considered: gas-phase adsorption (both on- and off-site regeneration), thermal incineration and catalytic oxidation. Mathematical process performance and cost models were developed for each process. The least-cost design for each process was identified for a set of typical contaminated waters, and the results were synthesized to create generalizations concerning process selection based on fundamental process variables.\nFor example, the cost of treating air stripper off gases was found to be primarily a function of a compound's adsorbability, volatility, flow rate and influent concentration. A set of diagrams was created to identify the least-cost off-gas treatment for a given set of conditions.\nFor aqueous processes, the least-cost air stripping tower design changed when off-gas treatment was added. A methodology for comparing the costs of air stripping with off-gas treatment and liquid-phase adsorption was created in the form of a process selection diagram. The comparison methodology is based upon physical parameters of the target chemical.\nIn considering bio-adsorption, it offered longer bed lives than adsorption alone in nearly every case, though the degree of improvement varies. Diagrams were created to identify cases where bio-adsorption is particularly economical. Situations were identified where a biofilm reactor and where steam stripping may be economically viable. Heuristics concerning when processes-in-series are valuable were also developed. As discussed, tools and generalizations were created to aid engineers in making intelligent decisions concerning preliminary treatment process selection, with the overall goal of better, cost-effective designs and more rapid selection.\norganic chemicals, treatment, remediation, heuristics\nThis paper is from the Proceedings of the 10th Annual Conference on Hazardous Waste Research 1995, published in hard copy and on the Web by the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "A work of monumental scale with a magnificent finale, the five-part Vienna Waltzes is set in moonlit Austrian forests and the regal ballrooms of Vienna.\nThe waltz became popular in the late 1700s. It was banned at first by some authorities who thought it immoral for couples to dance so closely, but by the mid-1800s, it was accepted everywhere. The faster Viennese form, characterized by swift, gliding turns, expressed the vivacity, and brilliance of the Hapsburg court. The waltz was a dance form Balanchine revisited and explored often over his career, but never on as grand a scale as he did for the 1977 Vienna Waltzes.\nThe ballet — Balanchine’s homage to the pleasures and delights of an age that epitomized imperial grandeur — transforms from sylvan forest glen to sassy dance hall to glittering society café to, at last, a majestic mirrored ballroom through Rouben Ter-Arutunian’s evolving scenery. The music selected for each section of the ballet is associated with the transformation of the waltz across society and over the years. The many elaborate costumes are the last that Karinska created for New York City Ballet.\nFor most of the 20th century, first in Paris, and, after 1938, in New York, Karinska, who left Russia after the October Revolution, designed and created many legendary costumes for Broadway, ballet, and opera. As one of Balanchine’s longtime collaborators, she was for many years New York City Ballet’s principal costume-maker.\nVIEW A SLIDESHOW OF IMAGES FROM VIENNA WALTZES >", "label": "No"}

{"text": "We’ve all heard of Banned Books. According to the American Library Association,\nA challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. As such, they are a threat to freedom of speech and choice.\nThe American Library Association keeps an active list of books that are either banned or challenged and sponsors an annual Banned Books Week to draw attention to these tomes, lest they be banished from the public eye. Keep in mind that the books on the list range from I Am Jazz to the Holy Bible, because anyone can be offended by anything nowadays. Which is probably why publishers are anxious to nip the offense in the bud—so anxious, in fact, that they want to eliminate potentially offensive books before they’re event printed.\nBefore a book is published and released to the public, it’s passed through the hands (and eyes) of many people: an author’s friends and family, an agent and, of course, an editor.\nThese days, though, a book may get an additional check from an unusual source: a sensitivity reader, a person who, for a nominal fee, will scan the book for racist, sexist or otherwise offensive content. These readers give feedback based on self-ascribed areas of expertise such as “dealing with terminal illness,” “racial dynamics in Muslim communities within families” or “transgender issues.”\nNeed a job in publishing? Try becoming a “sensitivity reader.” If you are of a pre-defined “minority group” you could qualify to read books for any number of publishers before they go to print, or even before they’re opted by the publisher. Why? So that when the publisher faces a lawsuit for offending another person belonging to the minority group you represent, you can provide a deposition or even attest in court to the fact that you were not offended when screening the book. That’s what the role of a “sensitivity reader” boils down to in real world terms. But, for the safe-space inclined, a sensitivity reader is another victory in the culture wars. Wars whose primary victims happen to be under the age of 18.\nPlenty of parents screen the media their young children encounter. However, as a child gets older and gains more independence it becomes impossible for us to keep track of everything they encounter on a daily basis. Having been a teenager with a proclivity for both libraries and used bookstores, I’m anything but grateful for the sensitivity readers looking to acculturate my child to an ever-changing politically correct point of view. These readers aren’t being hired to weed out gratuitous sex and violence in tween lit; they’re being hired to teach your child what attitudes are and aren’t acceptable when it comes to sexuality, gender and race relations. If your white son finishes a book about African American women and tells you he feels guilty, thank a sensitivity reader for having no sensitivity regarding the reality that a book’s reach transcends marketing demographics.\nFrom a historical perspective the idea of a “sensitivity reader” is downright dangerous. You aren’t just banning books after they’ve been published, leaving them to be consumed by readers who can access sources beyond an official reach. Sensitivity readers literally ban written ideas before they can reach a mass audience. In another time and another context, a sensitivity reader would’ve been referred to as a military censor, or worse: a propagandist.\nJoin the conversation as a VIP Member", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Online Health Chat with Julie Honaker, PhD\nOctober 11, 2017\nDizziness is defined as feelings of unsteadiness, wooziness and lightheadedness; and sensations of moving, spinning, floating, swaying, tilting or whirling (sensations known as vertigo). These sensations occur even when standing still or lying down. More than four out of 10 people experience an episode of dizziness significant enough to send them to a doctor. Dizziness changes your sense of balance and can increase your risk of falling.\nDizziness is generally not serious. However, it may result from problems associated with the inner ear, brain or heart. It can also be the result of medications.\nIf you have suffered dizziness that does not go away, please join Cleveland Clinic vestibular and balance specialist Julie Honaker, PhD in a free online chat. She will answer your questions about dizziness and balance disorders.\nAbout the Speaker\nJulie Honaker, PhD is the director of the Vestibular and Balance Disorders Laboratories within the Head & Neck Institute. She was previously an assistant professor in the Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders at University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she taught graduate courses on vestibular and balance disorder assessment and management. She received her master’s training and PhD in audiology from the University of Cincinnati. She completed a post-doctorate fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Dr. Honaker has a passion for the clinical assessment and rehabilitation of balance disorder patients, and this is the focus of her clinical research endeavors.\nLet’s Chat About Dizziness and Balance Disorders\njohnspol: A viral inner ear infection following Bell's palsy left me with permanent dizziness, vertigo and deafness in my right ear, as well as four destroyed facial nerves.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I’m sorry to hear that. In cases of dizziness, there are measures to improve your symptoms following viral infection. Vestibular rehabilitation helps to restore your balance and reduce symptoms. Also, you may find benefit in speaking with an audiologist regarding your hearing loss.\ncwadsl: In 2014, I turned over in bed with my eyes open and experienced a severe bout of room-spinning vertigo. My dresser appeared to be flying over my head in a perfect circle, as if I was looking through a kaleidoscope. This lasted about five minutes, but I was terribly ill the rest of the day and suffered from severe dizziness 24 hours a day over the next eight weeks. I visited many specialists and had many tests, which found nothing. Canalith repositioning maneuvers for BPPV did not work. Doctors suspected Meniere's disease or a vestibular infection or disorder. The only thing that seemed to lessen the symptoms was steroids. After about six weeks, the dizziness finally began to subside in the evenings, then earlier and earlier in the day until it was gone about three weeks later. Nothing has happened since then except that I feel a bit more sensitive to motion.\nDo you have any recommendations for what my plan of attack should be if this happens again? Thank you.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I'm sorry to hear about your episode of true spinning vertigo. While I may not be able to provide clarity on if/when this may happen again, I can give you tips on what to document to help your physician/other specialists better identify the cause. 1) Try to note what brought on the symptoms (e.g., rolling over in bed, sitting up too quickly in bed, etc.) 2) Try to note how long the symptoms last (seconds then go away if sitting very still, minutes, hours, etc.) 3) Try to document any associated symptoms (headache, double vision, changes in speech, etc.) This will help your physician or other specialist better identify if this is truly an inner ear disorder or perhaps another reason (headache, migraine, viral infection) for your symptoms.\nCecelia: I have the same symptoms as cwadsley. It has now been eight months. My current symptoms include a spinning sensation when rolling over in bed at night or first thing in the morning and dizziness when looking up. The more movement I do, the more unsteady I feel. I am becoming more active but by two or three p.m., but I begin to fatigue and morning light, noise or other stimuli increase fatigue and dizziness. I have been getting vestibular therapy, but the therapist is finding I am not responding to it. A neurologist diagnosed vestibular neuronitis. I am currently on 8 mg twice a day of beta-histamine, which seems to help. Any further suggestions would be SO appreciated.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing symptoms. It may be a good idea to have a thorough vestibular evaluation with an audiologist to determine how your vestibular system is functioning or if there is another cause for your ongoing symptoms since you have not responded to therapy. The beta-histamine helps with symptom relief, but is not a cure.\nSuereed43: Does getting dizzy often have anything to do with heart disease?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. There are many causes of dizziness, and heart disease is actually a common cause. Sometimes, this has to do with problems with blood pressure or the medications that are used to control heart-related problems. Patients with heart disease may even experience problems with balance and are often at greater risk of falling. It is important to speak with the doctor who is managing your heart-related condition to discuss your concerns of dizziness and see if it is related to the condition or a possible side effect of medication.\nJode9297: Can thrombocytosis cause vertigo? I was diagnosed about 30 years ago.\nHow about the medication Agrelyn (anagrelide)? Thanks.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Thank you for your question. Your symptoms may be related to your disease, as well as a side effect of the medication. I would suggest discussing these symptoms with your primary care physician who can review your medications and possibly refer you to a specialist regarding your condition.\npilatesgirl: How do concussions from the past affect long term balance?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: We are learning more and more about concussions and their effect on the balance system. There are known cases/research to support long-term effects on balance. If you are noticing problems with your balance, it is recommended that you discuss this with your primary care physician who can then refer you to a specialist to evaluate your balance and make appropriate recommendations to improve your balance and keep you safe from falls.\nMineOrYours2: Hi. I get dizzy every now and then. I also feel spinny. I work out almost daily and am fine doing that. I don't know why I would get dizzy when not exercising. Would a lack of a daily dose of water cause dizziness?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: There are numerous causes for symptoms of dizziness. Sometimes, dehydration can cause symptoms of lightheadedness or dizziness. This may be a good first factor to check. Also, it is always a good idea to discuss these concerns with your primary care physician, as medication and diet changes can also cause symptoms.\nMarL: Good Afternoon. Do you have any data on how dizziness and balance might have an effect on lupus patients?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I do not have data on hand, but there are known medication side effects, as well as possible consequences of the disease on your peripheral nervous system that can result in symptoms of dizziness, imbalance and even blurred vision. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it would be good to discuss this with your managing physician to first rule out medication effects and then explore other causes for the symptoms.\nderekl: Can migraines cause dizziness?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. Dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, blurred vision, etc. are all consequences of migraines. There are even variants of migraines that can cause vertigo or dizziness without migraine head pain. If you think you are experiencing any of these symptoms and have a diagnosis of migraine, it would be important to discuss this with your physician. There are criteria that your physician would need to determine if migraines are the cause of your symptoms.\nTimboBear: Could thyroid medication or it not being on the right dose affect dizziness, lightheadedness and feeling off balance?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I cannot comment on medication doses, but symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness and feeling off balance may result in other disorders, including problems with the thyroid. It would be best to discuss these concerns with your managing physician to better determine if this is related to your condition or another possible cause.\nsbdav: I have a problem with lightheadedness due to blood pressure medications, but have much more of the problem when walking in large expanses like a mall parking lot. I feel very unstable and out of balance. I have to walk looking down at the ground because looking up or turning my head makes me feel even more unbalanced. Is this something you've heard of?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: It is not uncommon for people with balance problems to experience visually provoked symptoms such as those described in your question. If you have already worked with your physician to adjust your blood pressure medications, then you may want to have a more thorough evaluation to determine if you have a balance problem causing your symptoms when in large spaces, looking up, etc.\ninternetkat01: I'm about to have back surgery because there is a cyst on my spine. While the doctor is in there, he will be putting a screw in the two lower bones of my spine to hold them together because they are moving and there is no cartilage left in between the bones. I've stopped taking my steroids weeks before the surgery. He doesn't want me starting my steroids for 12 weeks after the surgery. If I start before, he says the steroid will weaken my bones and the screw will not hold. Do you have any advice on how to not lose the cartilage between your bones?\ncerim: Would inner ear issues cause balance to be thrown off upon standing?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. Yes, an inner ear balance disorder could cause your balance to be thrown off when standing. In cases of inner ear problems, imbalance is very common, and when we move we are activating our inner ear balance system. If this is not working properly, you could experience strange symptoms when moving in different positions such as standing.\nclihea2: Quite a few years ago I lost hearing in one ear almost completely overnight and that has affected my balance as well. Eventually, I was told that I blocked my internal auditory artery. I still can't be fitted for a hearing aid and I still can't do things such as stand on one leg much. I do a few exercises a few times a week, but it doesn't keep me from being twirly headed when I look up or make a turn other than very slowly. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Le Ann.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Sorry to hear about your sudden hearing loss. Some patients who suddenly lose their hearing on one side may also have the other part of the ear involved (vestibular system). Do to this, you may be experiencing symptoms related to loss of inner ear function (hearing and balance) on one side. It may be beneficial to meet with an audiologist and vestibular rehab therapist to discuss additional exercises to perform to help with your balance concerns, as well as newer options for single-sided hearing loss.\nweya: How can you get rid of fluid on the ears, which causes my dizziness?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Thank you for your question. It would depend on the problem with the fluid. We have fluid in our inner ear that is important for our sense of hearing and balance. In cases of disease, where there is an overabundance of fluid (for example, Meniere’s disease), conservative treatment of a low-salt diet and water pills to reduce water retention may be of benefit. Some individuals have fluid in other parts of the ear (for example, in the middle ear space, which is normally air filled), and this can cause symptoms of imbalance and sometimes even dizziness. In these cases, it would be important to try to remove the fluid in that part of the ear. In either case, it is important to speak with a health care professional, ear, nose and throat specialist and perhaps an audiologist (hearing specialists) to determine where the fluid is located to help determine the best management option.\nSDsummer: I have Meniere's disease. Is there anything I can do to help keep this from progressing? I was told I could eventually have hearing loss. My sense of balance is affected at random times, with bouts of dizziness and balance issues. Also, I’m wondering if years of dental work and TMJ issues are related since the jaw is near the ears? Thank you.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Thank you for your question. There is no cure for Meniere’s disease, but there is treatment available to manage the symptoms and sometimes reduce how often and severe the attacks are. The most common treatment option is a low-sodium diet and water pills to reduce water retention. If this approach is not beneficial, steroid injections are another option to reduce severity and number of attacks. Vestibular rehabilitation is also of benefit to help with symptoms of dizziness/imbalance between attacks. It would be best to have an expert evaluate any additional symptoms (TMJ issues) to see if there are other causes of symptoms (hearing related/tinnitus) contributing to your symptoms of dizziness.\nMarL: What is Meniere's disease, and how does it affect you?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. Meniere's disease is an inner ear disorder that causes spontaneous episodes of decreased hearing, vertigo, tinnitus and even a fullness feeling in one ear (sometimes both ears). It is believed to be due to an overabundance of fluid in the inner ear. This disease can be very debilitating for patients, as it can come on without warning. There are treatment options if you or someone else believes you have this condition.\nSDsummer: I have Meniere's disease and struggle with bouts of dizziness. Can this lead to eventual hearing loss? What is the root cause of the disease? I've had a lot of orthodontic work over the years since early childhood. Could that be related?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: It would be best to have an expert evaluate additional symptoms, (specifically dental issues) to see if there are other causes of symptoms (hearing related/tinnitus) contributing to your symptoms of dizziness. As far as I know, there are no credible studies that link Meniere's with multiple dental procedures.\nThoughts on Treatment\nsbdav: Would a cane or walking poles help with a balance problem?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: A cane or walking poles provide extra support (widen the base of support on which you are standing) and may assist with your balance. It is always recommended that you meet with a specialist (for example, a physical therapist) to discuss assistive mobility options such as a cane to ensure that you are using the correct device.\ncolo157: I've been diagnosed with BPPV. I received much benefit from the Epley treatments early on, but now the symptoms come back within two weeks after a maneuver, no matter how careful I am. Is there any reason for this?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I'm glad you received benefit with the Epley maneuver. It is not uncommon for symptoms to return, as the Epley is not a cure but a treatment for the problem. Given that you are experiencing your symptoms so frequently, it may be of benefit to look into other reasons aside from the BPPV for your symptom to return. It may be beneficial to have a comprehensive vestibular assessment to better identify why this is returning so frequently. I recommend discussing this with your primary care physician and asking about a referral to a vestibular therapist or audiologist for a more thorough evaluation.\nHappy70: What are the treatment options if no reason is found for the dizziness? I have had hearing tests, VG and VEMP, which ruled out an inner ear problem. I’ve also had an ophthalmologic checkup, MRI and MRA of the brain to check for blood flow and tumor, and physical therapy. Is there anything I can do to help control the dizziness and help prevent a fall?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Treatment options would really depend on the cause for your symptoms of dizziness. There are numerous causes including inner ear disorders, but this does not sound like the case, as you have had normal tests of inner ear function. You may benefit from further evaluation of other causes (not inner ear-related causes, but mediation, anxiety, neurological conditions) for your dizziness. You should discuss this with your primary care physician. Fall prevention tips can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. These include ways to keep you safe in and around your home, as well as group exercise programs that can help with your balance.\nGail Ann: Are there any techniques, exercises, medications or supplements to help with an off balance issue? What role, if any, does stress play? I never experience dizziness, only a continuous off balance feeling in my head accompanied by a headache. Thank you for answering my question.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. There are options to help with your balance if we better understand the cause. It appears that you are experiencing your symptoms with a headache. This may indicate that further investigation and possible treatment is needed for the underlying headache. I would recommend following up with your primary care physician to discuss your balance concerns/headache and to determine if a medication would benefit you or perhaps balance therapy to keep you safe from falling.\nChrysanthemum: What is the most accurate way of getting a proper diagnosis? There are so many variables, even conditions, that overlap, and sometimes it feels that each doctor feels the problem falls under his or her particular specialty. Sometimes, treatments contradict one another. In the meantime, years have passed and I'm still afflicted and greatly limited in life. Thank you.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: You are correct that it can be very challenging to get an accurate diagnosis. There are many overlapping conditions and professionals that may need to be involved to get the most correct diagnosis. The Cleveland Clinic Head and Neck institute now offers a Dizziness and Imbalance Shared Medical Appointment. (To schedule an appointment, call 216.444.8500.) In this group visit with other patients, two providers evaluate the patients in a group and private setting to help sort out the many causes for dizziness and come up with a proper diagnosis and management plan.\nEd95: If you've never had an episode of serious dizziness or the feeling of almost passing out, what are the first things a person should check if this happens, blood pressure, O2 levels, heart rate, etc.? I recently experienced the feeling of almost passing out after some strenuous activity. I'm a 62-year-old male and wonder what could have caused this. It’s never happened before and hasn't happened since. Thanks.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Thank you for your question. It is always best to first discuss your concerns of almost passing out with your primary care physician, as this may be related to issues described above such as blood pressure changes or heart related conditions. If this is ruled out, then we need to look into changes in medication as the cause. Finally, if those are all ruled out, other causes including inner ear-related problems will need to be evaluated.\nJode9297: With so many people suffering with vertigo, why is there no cure?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: It can be frustrating both for the patient as well as the clinician to determine the cause of vertigo/dizziness. There are many reasons for vertigo: medications, cardiovascular issues, neurological issues, anxiety, depression and inner ear problems to just name a few. Medications often are not beneficial and only mask the real problem. It may be beneficial to speak with your primary care physician and see about referral to a vestibular specialist (audiologist, physical therapist or physician) to better evaluate and determine the cause of the vertigo.\nJode9297: In addition to my right ear feeling full, a few seconds before a vertigo episode, always to the right, I hear what I can only describe as a \"rubbing \"sound in my right ear. What might this indicate?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Both symptoms relate to a possible ear-related cause to the symptoms. It would be best to be evaluated by an ear specialist (ear, nose and throat physician and audiologist) to evaluate your symptoms and hearing to better determine the ear-related condition.\nVoices on Vertigo\nNanat426: Once you get vertigo, are you prone to getting it again? Why does it last so long and is not just a quick day-long thing? Mine have been going on for three weeks. I was given medication and am now trying physical therapy.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: It really depends on the cause for the vertigo. Sometimes, vertigo can be related to a common inner ear disorder, such as something called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or BPPV. This condition causes brief episodes of vertigo when changing positions (bending over, rolling over in bed). The best course of treatment for this is exercises that can be provided by a physical therapist, audiologist or physician. Medication is often not the cure, but helps to reduce symptoms. It is best to wean off of medications and treat vertigo with other management solutions such as rehabilitation exercises.\npollyjohnsey: A viral inner ear infection following Bell's palsy left me with total deafness in my right ear, destruction of four facial nerves and permanent vertigo. The distortion of my facial features never returned to normal. I have been told that medication will not help the condition, and I am wondering if research has shown any indication of help for the vertigo.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Provided your left inner ear balance system (since your viral infection was on the right) is working properly, and you do not have any other problems with your balance system, you should be a good candidate for a vestibular rehabilitation program to help promote the brain's \"recalibrating\" from your viral infection. This will help reduce your symptoms of vertigo, improve your balance and maintain activities of daily living.\nJode9297: My vertigo episodes come on unpredictably when I’m sitting, standing, sleeping and at various times of the day. All the tests came back inconclusive. Do you have any suggestions on what to do next?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I'm sorry to hear that. It would depend on which tests you have had, and also how long your symptoms last when they come on spontaneously. I would start tracking patterns and having this conversation with your physician to better identify the cause or other avenues to explore to determine why you are experiencing these symptoms.\nXomue: I've had BPPV in the past, so I am familiar with the feeling of waking up turning my head and feeling the room spin briefly. It stops after 10 to 15 seconds. This has happened to me every few years for the past 20 years. Yesterday, I woke up and experienced the same spinning when I turned my head in both directions. In the past, I was told that in order to get rid of it, I can have the Epley procedure or I can practice the positions that make your head spin a little, that is lying down, turning the head to one side and holding it for 30 seconds. Since it's so hard to get an appointment in my area with a doctor for a non-emergent condition, I would like to try the \"home method.\" I am putting my head in the positions that cause dizziness and holding it for 30 seconds? I don't want to overdo and make it worse. My question is: Is it possible to make it worse by overdoing? It usually clears up in a week or so. Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent BPPV?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I am not concerned with you overdoing it, but rather displacing the crystals (what is causing the BPPV) to be moved into other parts of your inner ear system (other semi-circular canals), which can make it more challenging to treat. There are home treatment options that you can try if you know exactly what type of BPPV you have. You may want to go to vestibular.org as a resource to help you find a specialist near you. Choose the \"find a specialist tab\" to see if you can get in with someone sooner to be evaluated and treated properly.\npilatesgirl: What does it mean when your balance is OK with your eyes open, but is much harder to impossible when your eyes are closed? I was told it is related to the temporal lobe.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question. We use three sensory systems to help us with our balance: vision, inner ear balance organs/vestibular system and prioprioception. When we have our eyes open and are standing on a firm surface, we use our vision and prioprioception to help maintain our balance. When our eyes are closed, we must rely on our vestibular system to keep us upright. This system is not as strong as the other systems when trying to stand still. This is why it is important to utilize our sensory systems together to help us maintain our balance.\nLois Johnson: I have issues with my vision, dizziness, etc. I have been told it involves vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR). Would you please explain the VOR?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: I’m happy to discuss the VOR. The vestibular-ocular reflex is a reflex between the inner ear vestibular system and the muscles that control eye movements. These muscles help us maintain stable vision when our head/body is in motion. For example, when I turn my head to the right, the VOR moves my eyes to the left so I am able to see clearly.\nkeroppi: I had extensive workups (ENT, neurology, vision-vestibular, etc.), and no official cause of the constant lightheadedness/dizziness I’ve had for decades has been found. It’s been chalked up to underlying condition of dysautonomia/POTS. Vestibular rehab and medicines like meclizine haven't worked. I also get episodes of true vertigo for hours, after which my baseline level of dizziness/floatiness increases for a long time. I’m currently going on two months since my last episode. Is there anything one can do to try to \"reset\" back to the former \"dizziness baseline\" at least? I used to try some vestibular exercises and Ativan, and sometimes I've gotten it down to two weeks, but this time nothing is working. Also, this year, months before this last vertigo episode, I developed a chronic stuffiness in my left ear that never goes away. The ENT just said it was a \"fluid imbalance/endolymphatic hydrops,\" probably due to dysautonomia, and lowering salt intake didn’t help. Does this ever resolve on its own? Is there anything else noninvasive to be tried (my brain MRI was negative)?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: You are not alone in experiencing symptoms of dizziness, and it is very frustrating when you do not have a clear answer as to the cause. As for how to “reset” back to the former dizziness baseline, it would depend on the reason for the dizziness in the first place and how your system is responding at the moment. It may be beneficial to have a comprehensive vestibular evaluation with an audiologist to better understand your current symptoms and reasons for the longstanding dizziness. You may want to speak with your primary care physician regarding your questions and a possible referral for vestibular assessment with an audiologist. For more information on services at Cleveland Clinic, you may call 216.444.8500.\nChrysanthemum: With aging and having a host of issues, it seems each specialist sees my dizziness/imbalance from their own area of expertise and they don't always agree. Can there be multiple causes for dizziness at the same time?\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Good question/concern. To answer your question, yes. There can be multiple causes for dizziness. With that said, each specialist may be focused on a specific area that may be a cause for the symptoms.\nF94jL63: Apart from issues/symptoms related to ear dysfunctions, can vertigo be triggered by visual disturbances? My episode of extreme dizziness was preceded by distorted vision in one eye, where images appeared wavy and moving rather than being in a fixed and focused orientation. That anomaly eventually subsided, but dizziness remained for several hours.\nJulie_Honaker_PhD,_CCC-A: Yes. There are visual causes for dizziness. Our visual system is an important part of our balance system; if this is off, you may experience symptoms of dizziness or imbalance. And, if you have an underlying vestibular/ear dysfunction, it is not uncommon to have visually provoked symptoms. Sometimes, patients will experience symptoms when walking down a grocery store aisle, reading on a phone or computer, etc. Vestibular therapy is of help to reduce some of the visually provoked symptoms.\nAllison0502: Hello. Thank you for hosting this chat. I have tinnitus and have heard that certain hearing aids can be helpful in coping with this issue.

{"text": "Bishops and Politics: The Portuguese Episcopacy\nDuring the Dynastic Crisis of 1580*\nJosé Pedro Paiva\nUniversity of Coimbra\nCentre for History, Society and Culture\nUsing Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of \"field\", this essay assumes that there was no single \"Church position\" during Portugal's dynastic crisis of 1578-81: Portugal's Church was an institution encompassing a large number of different agencies, each containing a huge number of very different agents (from a social, cultural, economic and even religious perspective) struggling for power and influence and disputing control over material, spiritual and symbolic goods.\nTherefore, my purpose is to explain the various and changing ways that the different prelates of Portugal's thirteen mainland dioceses responded to the acute political problem of the royal succession between 1578 and 1581, and how the crown candidates tried to obtain their support.\nChurch History, Bishops, Portuguese dynastic crisis of 1580, Political history, Religious ‘field’\nPartindo do conceito de \"campo\" tal como formulado por Pierre Bourdieu, este estudo assume que não existiu uma posição unitária da Igreja no agitado processo político que marcou a vida portuguesa nos anos da crise dinástica (1578-1581). A Igreja portuguesa era uma instituição constituída por várias instâncias e organismos, englobando diferentes agentes, tanto do ponto de vista social, como económico, cultural e até religioso, os quais lutavam por poder e influência e disputavam a posse de bens materiais, espirituais e simbólicos.\nEm face desta perspectiva, a intenção central da análise aqui apresentada é explicar como é que cada um dos bispos que ocuparam as 13 dioceses do reino de Portugal se posicionaram e actuaram no contexto da vida política portuguesa, entre 1578 e 1581, e como é que os candidatos à sucessão da Coroa portuguesa em 1580 tentaram obter o seu apoio\nHistória da Igreja; Bispos; União Ibérica; História político-religiosa; Campo religioso\nAlthough recent Portuguese historiography on the early modern period has rarely emphasized the importance of the political activities undertaken by bishops, it is commonly acknowledged that they were deeply engaged in politics throughout the sixteenth century. Some prelates even played leading roles in the political decision-making process, through their presence at the king’s court (which was gradually becoming the center of Portugal’s political arena), through the seats they occupied in such central councils and tribunals of the monarchy as the Royal Council, Council of State, Mesa da Consciência e Ordens,1 and Desembargo do Paço,2 and through their writings or sermons.\nThe high cultural level and academic training that some of them possessed, the religious prestige and symbolical importance of their episcopal functions, the effectiveness of their episcopal bureaucratic apparatus and the territorialisation of their power, the deep interpenetration between politics and theology (some authors even use the expression ‘political theology’ to describe it) – all these things made them a very important elite. Consequently, monarchs were perfectly aware of the importance of the Church, and particularly the bishops who occupied the leading positions in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, in reinforcing royal authority within their realm. The concept of confessionalization, proposed by Heinz Schilling (Schilling 2001), and the notion of social disciplining applied by Wolfgang Reinhard and Paolo Prodi (Reinhard 1994 and Prodi 1994) are generally very useful for understanding the key role played by the Church in early modern politics and state-building processes.\nIn the light of these considerations, it seems useful to analyze episcopal behavior during the Portuguese political crisis of 1580. Yet this topic has seldom received extensive attention from historians studying the Portuguese dynastic crisis which followed the death of King Sebastião on 4 August 1578. Excluding Queiroz Velloso, who briefly mentioned it in a book published exactly sixty years ago (Velloso 1946: 172-173), and more recently Fernando Bouza Alvarez (Bouza Alvarez 1987), most historians dealing with this question have restricted their remarks to brief considerations about the role of the Church in general, ignoring the individual position of each specific bishop. Conversely, a few studies have been concerned only with the particular attitudes of individual bishops; for example, Bartolomeu dos Mártires, the famous archbishop of Braga, or Jerónimo Osório, bishop of Algarve (Rolo 1964, Serrão 1964 and Pinho 1993).\nThe classical and dominant thesis argues that the Portuguese Church was split in 1580. What is usually called the upper clergy (bishops and prelates governing major religious orders - with the exception of the Jesuits) tended from the beginning to support Philip II, the king of Castile, based on the notion that for both economic and religious purposes, he offered the best solution for the kingdom. However, the majority of the clergy, socially recruited from amongst non-nobles, strongly opposed the solution of a foreign king wearing the crown of Portugal and tended to adhere to D. António, the Prior of Crato, an illegitimate son of the infant D. Luís (see, for example, Godinho 1978: 383-384; Marques 1986: 42-43 and Polónia 2005: 224-225).\nJoão Marques made some effort to justify and explain the attitudes of the upper clergy. According to him, the support they gave to Philip II arose from several causes: their family ties to the nobility (a social group that largely preferred Philip II); their fear of social and religious transformations; their general conservatism; pressure on them from agents of the king of Spain; and especially due to the advantages they hoped to gain by supporting the most powerful candidate to the crown, simultaneously perceived as the ‘Catholic king’ and the greatest defender of the Catholic religion, threatened at that time by both Protestant heretics and the Turks (Marques 1986: 43).\nMore recently, Fernando Bouza has argued that if it is beyond any doubt that the lower clergy in general opposed the idea of a foreign king, and issued propaganda all over the country, especially from the pulpits, against the Habsburg monarch, with widespread acceptance of a popular state (a topic very well studied by João Marques in 1986), it is no longer sustainable that bishops were strongly engaged as a group in defense of Philip II’s candidacy. Bouza demonstrated that during the dynastic crisis, although the Portuguese bishops never strongly opposed Philip II’s candidacy (excluding the unique case of the bishop of Guarda, who always supported the Prior of Crato), they were not open and enthusiastic supporters of it. They only changed their positions after a difficult set of negotiations, undertaken by Cristóvão de Moura and Pedro Girón, Duke of Ossuna, assured them that the Castilian monarch would preserve all the privileges that the Portuguese Church had enjoyed before 1580. Bouza thus implies that an historical process occurred, during which the episcopal position underwent a transformation (Bouza Alvarez 1987, II, 558-569 and 579-590;Bouza Alvarez 2005: 118-120).\nAll the above-mentioned studies, even if some of them tried to distinguish positions assumed by particular bishops, take for granted that it is possible to define a general position sustained by the Portuguese church hierarchy during this complex political process, corresponding to the attitudes expressed by the majority of its bishops. A good example of this methodological approach is an essay by Jacinto Monteiro entitled The attitude of the Church and the loss of Portugal’s independence in 1580 (A atitude da Igreja e a perda da independência de Portugal em 1580) (Monteiro 1965).\nI suggest, however, that it is impossible to understand this process correctly by assuming that there was any single “Church position”, and that it resulted from some common point of view shared by all bishops, acting as a group representing its corporate interests. Firstly, it is worth remembering that the Portuguese Church had no institution or agency where its general position could be debated and afterwards presented as a collectively-agreed, institutional policy. The political assemblies of Portugal’s three different social estates (including the clergy) known as the Cortes did not function in that way. Secondly, they lacked consensual positions on almost every major issue; the concept of “field” (Bourdieu 1971; Bethencourt 1984) applies here, because the Portuguese Church was an institution encompassing a large number of different agencies, each containing a huge number of very different agents (from a social, cultural, economic and even religious viewpoint) which fought for power and influence, disputing control over innumerable material, spiritual and symbolic goods. One implication of this approach is that, within what is usually called \"the Church\" (in the singular), there co-existed very different strategies and interests among the various institutions, agents and groups that comprised it.\nPeriods of deep rupture, during which tensions emerge more obviously, provide good moments for testing this assumption. The Portuguese political crisis of 1580 is one such privileged conjuncture. Accordingly, this essay will try to detect and explain the ways in which the different individuals who were prelates of Portuguese dioceses in the years from 1578-1581 faced the acute political problem of the royal succession, and how the crown candidates, particularly the one who ultimately won the prize - Philip II, tried to obtain their support.\n1. The problem\nOn 4 August 1578, the young and unmarried king of Portugal, D. Sebastião, died on the battlefield of Alcácer-Quibir in North Africa. With him perished a large number of Portuguese, including some distinguished members of the nobility and clergy, in particular the bishops of Coimbra (Manuel de Meneses) and Oporto (Aires da Silva). The monarch’s journey to Africa was disastrous from every perspective, and it aggravated the already very difficult economic and budgetary situation of his kingdom. Worse still, it opened up the prospect of a dynastic crisis.\nD. Sebastião had neither sons nor brothers; therefore, the crown was assumed by his only great-uncle who was still alive: D. Henrique, the son of D. Manuel I and brother of the former king D. João III, was already 66 years old and a cleric, cardinal, and papal legate; for much of his life, he had also been Portugal’s Inquisitor-General (Inquisidor geral). The danger of the extinction of the ruling dynasty after his imminent death was obvious to everyone.\nFrom the beginning of his reign, all the efforts of D. Henrique as king were directed towards three main targets: the punishment of those Portuguese who had encouraged D. Sebastião’s highly dangerous intention of fighting in Africa; ransoming the vast number (c. 10.000) of Portuguese still captive in Africa; and preparing for his succession (Polónia 2005: 194-213). Although he was a very old and devout churchman, a cardinal and the former archbishop of Braga, Évora and Lisbon (Portugal’s three most prestigious cathedrals), his first step towards resolving the dynastic crisis was an attempt to get married. This intention was already evident in a letter he wrote to Philip II on 24 September 1578 (Brandão 1943: 21-22). But this plan was foiled by Castilian diplomacy in Rome, preventing the Pope from sending the necessary brief of dispensation (Velloso 1946: 98-129).\nAfter September 1578, the succession debate and the consequent political dispute intensified at the center of Portuguese politics. Among six leading candidates for the throne after the cardinal-king’s death, the great majority boasted blood ties to D. Manuel I, king of Portugal in its golden age between 1495 and 1521. These claimants were D. Catarina, duchess of Bragança, Portugal’s most distinguished noble house, who was the daughter of D. Duarte, one of the youngest sons of D. Manuel I; D. António, the Prior of Crato, a bastard of D. Luís, another son of D. Manuel I; Philip II, king of Spain, son of Charles V and Isabel, the elder daughter of D. Manuel I; Emanuele Filiberto, duke of Savoy, son of a younger daughter of D. Manuel I; Ranuccio Farnese, duke of Parma, a nephew of the already-mentioned son of D. Manuel I, D. Duarte; and finally, the widowed queen of France, Catherine de’ Medici, who claimed very remote links to a thirteenth-century Portuguese king, Afonso III.\nThe strongest claimants were D. Catarina of Bragança, the Prior of Crato, and Philip II. From a juridical point of view, as has been very well demonstrated (Cunha 1993), the situation was indeed complex. This is not the place to discuss further the advantages and handicaps of each one, but there is no doubt that all three could invoke legitimate succession rights after the death of D. Henrique.\nThe difficulties went far beyond juridical and genealogical disputes; the general framework was extremely complex. Apart from a general sense of decadence that can be easily perceived in the literature of the period, Vitorino Magalhães Godinho emphasized the difficulties of Portuguese international trade and the ensuing economic and financial consequences which had provoked a crisis since the middle of the century (Godinho 1978: 25-26, 381-382). The external support sought by D. Catarina and D. António from Spain’s great rivals, France and England, provoked distrust among large sectors of the population, particularly from some ecclesiastics who feared that Protestant heresies could be disseminated in Portugal through such future allies. On the other hand, a majority of people strongly opposed the introduction of a foreign king such as Philip II. Their opposition was not a matter of nationalism, such as the concept came to be developed during the nineteenth century, but there was evidently an atavistic reaction to the idea of a non-native king. There was also the specter of armed conflict among groups supporting the three strongest parties, a conflict that some sectors defended as the only way to prevent the kingdom from falling under the control of a foreigner.\nMoreover, all the candidates used the best means at their disposal to defend their cause: political propaganda; support from the best jurists and theologians; the search for external alliances (including the papacy); the preparation of military campaigns; and the activity of foreign agents attempting to acquire influence and supporters and to obtain information about decisions affecting the succession. One consequence was the emergence of political factions supporting each of the candidates. As a final solution was postponed, it became more difficult to reach a consensus among all the parties involved in the dispute. As Francisco Bethencourt has argued, the indecision of D. Henrique, who, after the marriage solution had failed, initially seemed to prefer D. Catarina, but Henrique changed his mind after October 1579 and sought a negotiated agreement with Philip II, causing him to lose control of the political and social conflict (Bethencourt 1993: 549).\nSuch waffling made it clear how difficult the task facing D. Henrique was and why, from the beginning, he sought some legally- based solution to avoid a war between Christians that would destroy his realm. However, because the situation was so complex, he took no final decision before he died on 31 January 1580.\n2. In search of a peaceful solution\nIn his search for a juridically sustainable agreement that could prevent a war, one of the most important steps taken by D. Henrique was to summon the Cortes. Previously, on 11 February 1579, he had addressed a letter to all the candidates, demanding from them a demonstration of their claim to the crown. The solemn opening of the assembly took place soon afterwards, on 1 April 1579.\nAccording to Queiroz Velloso, this meeting had three main purposes: to obtain support for sending a special ambassador to the Pope, demanding his approval for the marriage of D. Henrique (a wish still being blocked in Rome); to create a council of five governors, chosen by D. Henrique from a group of 15 nobleman elected by the Cortes, who would govern the kingdom if the monarch died before a consensus was reached concerning the succession; and to elect a tribunal of 11 judges to decide, on a strictly juridical basis, who was the most legitimate candidate to become king. Finally, all three estates represented in the Cortes should swear to recognize and respect the decision taken by the governors in case D. Henrique died before any final solution was reached (Velloso 1946: 205-209).\nOn 1 June, representatives of all three estates swore to respect any future decisions taken by the governors and judges and also to fight, with weapons if necessary, in the event of any of the candidates trying to obtain the crown through illicit means.\nAt this key moment in the political process surrounding the succession, let us try to perceive what position the bishops adopted during the Cortes.\nThe first thing to be noted is that half of the bishops were not in Lisbon attending the Cortes, preferring instead to remain in their dioceses. In April 1579, only eleven of the thirteen Portuguese continental bishoprics even had a prelate: Bartolomeu dos Mártires (Braga); António Pinheiro (Miranda, transferred to Leiria in November 1579); Simão de Sá Pereira (Lamego, transferred to Oporto in November 1579); Miguel de Castro (Viseu); João de Portugal (Guarda); Gaspar do Casal (Leiria, transferred to Coimbra in November 1579); Jorge de Almeida (Lisbon); André de Noronha (Portalegre); Teotónio de Bragança (Évora); António Mendes de Carvalho (Elvas); and Jerónimo Osório (Algarve). The Oporto and Coimbra bishoprics remained vacant. According to José de Castro, five of these eleven prelates (Mártires, Pinheiro, Portugal, Noronha and Osório) did not attend the assembly (Castro 1942: 140).\nA Latin memoir, addressed to the Pope from the people of Lisbon in November 1579,3 suggested that the missing bishops were avoiding the Cortes because they opposed the position of the Jesuits, who were apparently inclined towards D. Catarina of Bragança (as was also, in this phase, the king, D. Henrique). But it is also plausible to argue that at least some of them did not attend because they were uncertain about whom to support and preferred not to become deeply involved in the dispute. This could be the case with Bartolomeu dos Mártires, who adopted a distant and very legalistic position throughout the crisis, and also with Osório.\nThe other three seemed to have preferred a different solution. Pinheiro and Noronha favored Philip II. In June 1579, Philip II already knew about the inclination of the bishop of Miranda and wrote him a letter to be delivered by his ambassadors in Portugal, Cristóvão de Moura and the Duke of Ossuna, recommending that his two agents tell the bishop that he would never regret helping the Castilian side (Velloso 1946: 172). This opinion was subsequently confirmed when Moura wrote to Madrid in December 1579: “About António Pinheiro, we can have confidence (...) he was at my house today and told me that he will punish a friar who preached against Castile last Sunday at Santarém” (Velloso 1946: 348-349).\nThe bishop of Portalegre was a cousin of Manuel de Noronha, fifth Marquis of Vila Real, who was already engaged on Philip II’s side in February 1579. Naturally, the bishop followed his prominent kinsman (Velloso 1946: 149).\nJoão de Portugal, the bishop of Guarda, was one of the leading supporters of D. António, the Prior of Crato. Moura confirmed it in a letter dated 14 April 1579 (Velloso 1946: 52). Although Moura often tried to convince him of the advantages of supporting Philip II, he never changed his position (Velloso 1946: 173). João de Portugal’s position must be placed within the context of a dispute with D. Henrique dating from 1573. The case has been well reconstructed by Carlos Margaça Veiga: as papal legate, D. Henrique had denounced his bad behavior as bishop and caused a trial to be held against him at Rome. In order to ensure his best possible defense, João de Portugal went to Rome. En route to the Vatican, he passed through Madrid, hoping to obtain Philip II´s help. But, warned by D. Henrique, the king of Spain refused him (Veiga 1995). So, João de Portugal had personal reasons for opposing Philip II, and of course, chose the candidate whom D. Henrique hated most - his nephew, the Prior of Crato. In December 1578, the king had even determined to banish D. António from Lisbon after learning about the steps the Prior was taking to legitimize his origins and prove he was not a bastard.\nBy April 1579, D. Henrique presumably desired to arrange matters so that he could promote the candidacy of Catarina of Bragança (although large sectors of the third estate opposed her) and used the Cortes to gauge the mood of his realm. He expected to have support from a majority of the bishops. And there is no doubt that some of them were his creatures, men who owed their mitres to him. This is confirmed by a letter from the papal legate, Alessandro Frumenti, dated 19 May 1579, informing the cardinal of Como that most of the prelates tended to support D. Catarina.4 He offered no names, but different sources make it plausible to presume that he meant Teotónio de Bragança, Simão de Sá Pereira, Gaspar do Casal, Jorge de Almeida and António Mendes de Carvalho.\nThe bishop of Evora, Teotónio de Bragança, was an uncle of D. Catarina and also maintained close relations with the Jesuits (Marques 1995: 263-268). Philip II was aware of the Congregation’s initial support for D. Catarina, and tried to prevent it at Rome. This he did with some success: on 10 January 1579, the Jesuit general Everardo Mercuriano wrote to Portugal from Rome, prohibiting any direct involvement by Society members in Portugal’s political disputes.\nSimão de Sá Pereira, a former member of the general council of the Holy Office, had very close links with D. Henrique, as his promotion to the Oporto diocese in November 1579 illustrates. Moreover, numerous references attest to his presence at key moments of the Lisbon Cortes, for example at the ceremony where the city of Lisbon swore to obey the decisions of the Cortes,5 which presume his importance as a faithful royal agent.\nJorge de Almeida was also a man high in the confidence of D. Henrique. The cardinal-king had chosen Almeida to replace him as Inquisitor-general; he had appointed him to the five-man governing commission created from the Lisbon Cortes; Almeida was also a member of the special tribunal, created by papal authority and chaired by D. Henrique to assess the legitimacy of the birth of the Prior of Crato, which declared D. António a bastard on 22 August 1579. Gaspar do Casal was another member of this court,6 whose decision denied the Prior of Crato any legal chance of contending for the Portuguese crown. In June 1579, Moura tried to buy Almeida’s support, suggesting he could become a cardinal by supporting Philip II. But Almeida coolly told Moura that Portugal’s future king should be decided by the tribunal created in the Cortes (Velloso 1946: 247)\nFinally, António Mendes de Carvalho also had close ties with the Jesuits. One of his biographers claims he was made bishop by a very influential Jesuit, Martim Gonçalves da Câmara, during the reign of king D. Sebastião.7\nSo, the only bishop at the Lisbon Cortes supporting Philip II was Miguel de Castro; so did the former bishop of Viseu and head court chaplain (capelão mor), Jorge de Ataíde, though at this time Ataíde kept his decision relatively secret (Velloso 1946: 145, 206). Miguel de Castro was a noble from one of the richest and most prestigious families in Évora. His elder brother was Fernando de Castro, an early supporter of Philip II, who rewarded him after becoming king of Portugal by naming him Count of Basto. In fact, this entire clan supported Philip II as early as 7 February 1579, as Moura informed the king of Spain in a letter (Velloso 1946: 147-149).\nThe preceding details make it impossible to argue that the majority of Portuguese bishops held a clearly defined public position by April/June 1579, and even more difficult to claim that they already supported Philip II. Even among those bishops closest to D. Henrique, who was himself little disposed to António, Prior of Crato, ambiguous positions seem to have been held. On 12 August 1579, two months after the Lisbon Cortes, the Prior of Crato sent a letter to Pope Gregory XIII, begging him not to give D. Henrique the decision about the legitimization of his birth. Documentary evidence indicates that D. António then believed in the impartiality of several prelates, including D. Gaspar do Casal, Simão de Sá Pereira, and of course João de Portugal, together with the former bishop of Angra (Azores), Manuel de Almada, and Bartolomeu dos Mártires, who had once briefly been his master.8\nMuch evidence from this period suggests the continuous evolution and transformation of Portugal’s political process. By the beginning of September 1579, some signals had begun to appear, suggesting a shift in position by D. Henrique (Veiga 1999: vol. 1, 344-346). He recognized the impossibility of getting married, the antipathy of large sectors of the third estate towards D. Catarina of Bragança, and, of course, he became increasingly persuaded of Philip II’s interest in becoming king of Portugal and realized how difficult it would be to stop his power-play. By this time, he was aware that large sectors of the nobility and even people within the restricted membership of the royal councils were already compromised with Philip II. At the same time, he wanted to prevent the Prior of Crato, who enjoyed great support from the popular estate, from becoming the next king of Portugal. Under these circumstances, he began to think the best solution would be to strike a deal with Philip II, if only to avoid a war that could destroy the kingdom. All this became evident in the letters that Moura wrote to Madrid. On 18 September, Moura reported that he had been told in a private meeting with the Cardinal King that D. Henrique would soon take a final resolution favoring Philip II. Six days later, Moura sent Madrid a letter from the cardinal with proposals for an agreement, though D. Henrique insisted that any final decision had to be confirmed by the Cortes. In November, D. Henrique wrote to his niece D. Catarina, confirming that he was negotiating with Philip II. Finally, at a meeting between D. Henrique and Cristóvão de Moura on 10 November, the main points of an agreement were reached. The deal had been negotiated mainly by Philip II’s ambassador and Miguel de Moura, a member of D. Henrique’s privy council, who supported Philip II (Velloso 1946: 315-339).\nWith these basic ideas in mind, a very old and sick D. Henrique summoned another Cortes with the hopeful expectation that all three estates would accept his proposals (Bouza 2005: 78-79). One thing seems certain: confronted with so many conflicting interests, he did not want to make an official decision by himself.\nThis Cortes opened at the small town of Almeirim on 11 January 1580. Once again, only five bishops definitely attended: Teotónio de Bragança (Évora); Jorge de Almeida (Lisbon); António Pinheiro (Leiria); Jerónimo de Meneses (Miranda) and Jerónimo Osório (Algarve). We have no information about three others: André de Noronha (Portalegre); Gaspar do Casal (the new bishop of Coimbra); and António Mendes de Carvalho (Elvas). Bartolomeu dos Mártires acted as he had done at the time of the Lisbon Cortes and once again avoided the center of the political arena. It is evident that he did not want to get involved. His silence meant that he would accept any solution that was legally announced, but would not show any preference.\nIt is plausible that two of the missing bishops could justify their absence by the fact that they had only been very recently nominated, and so should remain in their dioceses. Such was the case with António Teles de Meneses (Lamego) and Simão de Sá Pereira (Oporto), both confirmed as bishops in late November 1579 and both very close to D. Henrique. We have no evidence of either man’s presence at Almeirim.\nAs for two others, Miguel de Castro and João de Portugal, both enthusiastic supporters of D. António, Prior of Crato (who was at Santarém, a town very close to Almeirim), it is more difficult to understand why they did not appear to defend their candidate. However, the position of the bishop of Guarda looks reasonable. His candidate had been declared a bastard by D. Henrique in November 1579; hostile towards the Cardinal King, he must have concluded that his presence among his episcopal colleagues would not be welcome. Prudently, he remained nearby, keeping well-informed and helping those who defended D. António’s cause at Almeirim, while assisting D. António’s numerous supporters in Santarém, the town where the third estate assembled during the Cortes.\nAs to the five prelates in attendance at Almeirim, we are better informed.\nJerónimo de Meneses had decided in favor of Philip II even before becoming a bishop, although his brother João Telo de Meneses, one of the five governors, supported D. Catarina – an unusual family strategy. But the name of the bishop of Miranda appears on a list of people receiving money from Cristóvão de Moura in 1579 (Velloso 1946: 171).\nTeotónio de Bragança seemed still attached to his niece, D. Catarina. The papal nuncio informed the Cardinal of Como on 21 January 1580 that D. Henrique was doing everything possible to be replaced by Philip II and therefore he had forbidden D. Teotónio from speaking at the clerical meetings during the Almeirim Cortes, because of his family links with the house of Bragança.9A few days later, when D. Catarina of Bragança decided to visit the dying Cardinal King at Almeirim, Teotónio de Bragança was the only bishop to give her and her entourage a public welcome (Velloso 1946: 393).\nLike his beloved patron D. Henrique, Jorge de Almeida was making every effort to find some solution that would prevent a war. But rumors circulated at Almeirim that he had sold his support to Castile.10 Nevertheless, Almeida’s future position, especially after becoming a governor, reveals that he was very hesitant.\nThe two most important actors among the bishops at Almeirim were undoubtedly Jerónimo Osório and António Pinheiro.\nUpon receiving the letter from D. Henrique summoning him to the new Cortes at Almeirim, Osório replied in November 1579. Among other things, he begged D. Henrique to do everything possible to avoid a disastrous war among Christians and advised the king not to listen to anyone who argued that war was the best way.11 His letter was used by Castilian propaganda to claim that the prestigious bishop of Algarve supported Philip II (Velloso 1946: 365).\nAfter reaching Almeirim on 4 January 1580, Osório wrote another letter to D. Henrique, containing a very clear, pragmatic and well-argued position. With a large number of candidates who all considered themselves legitimate, the best solution for the kingdom’s dangerous situation was to form a union with Castile. Seeing no way to defend the realm if Philip II decided to attack, he argued that it was preferable to accept him peacefully than after the shame and oppression of a military defeat. Finally, he argued that the best method involved negotiating the union of the two crowns with Philip II “under some honest conditions” and concluded his letter with the pithy phrase, “subjugated never, united yes”.12\nAccording to Sebastião Tavares de Pinho, this letter from Osório finally persuaded the Cardinal King to accept Philip II. Pinho used another open letter of the bishop of Algarve, written some months later (July 1580) and known as Defensio sui nominis, to argue that (in Osório’s words), “when the bishops were meeting with the clerical estate at Almeirim, the cardinal confessed to him that he [Osório] will appreciate and defend the formula he will soon receive for resolving the dynastic crisis,” implying that this formula was a preliminary agreement with Philip II to be presented at the Cortes (Pinho 1993: 318-319). Though the position sustained by the bishop of Algarve was undoubtedly very pragmatic and impressed some of his episcopal colleagues, Pinho neglected the data used by Queiroz Velloso, demonstrating that D. Henrique had been moving in this direction since September 1579.\nAntónio Pinheiro also seems to have played a very important role during this period. He had the advantage of being a very experienced politician; since the reign of João III, he had been a respected courtier who had often preached at the most important monarchical ceremonies. Perhaps because of his previous experience, D. Henrique assigned him the role of broker between the king and the popular estate in these crucial January days. We must also remember that D. Henrique was then very ill and near death; under such circumstances, he entrusted António Pinheiro with delivering some of his most important decisions to the Cortes.\nIn view of some hesitation on the part of D. Henrique during the last days of December that worried the Spanish ambassadors Moura and Ossuna, the cardinal probably intended to obtain some general consensus at the Cortes that would allow him to make an acceptable compromise declaring Philip II as his successor. According to Bouza, this was the strategy used by Philip II throughout 1579: to negotiate some solution that defended his interests, relying on the skill of his representatives in Portugal, and avoiding the necessity of using military force (Bouza 2005: 78).\nAnd Pinheiro played a key role in defending Philip II’s interests during the Cortes. Three times the cardinal sent him to talk to the popular estate. Particularly on his second visit, on 18 January 1580, he read a memorial, purporting to express D. Henrique’s ideas, which asserted that Philip II’s claims were more consistent than those of D. Catarina and, accordingly, that D. Henrique expected that it was possible for the realm to reach an agreement with the King of Castile (Velloso 1946: 375-380). This statement was badly received by the third estate, provoking excited and hostile reactions. Four days later, the popular assembly decided that they preferred to die rather than deliver the crown to a foreign king.\nWe must pay attention to two letters in order to understand António Pinheiro’s feelings and actions. Firstly, in a letter from Philip II to Moura, sent from Madrid on 26 January, the king recognized his key role and asked Moura to aid him : “Bishop Piñero behaves in ways that show well his favorable inclination for our affairs; therefore it is fitting that you show him my satisfaction with his conduct and assure him that he will receive suitable rewards in gratitude for what I owe him” (original in Velloso 1946: 382). A second letter, from the papal nuncio to Rome, dated 29 January, reported that António Pinheiro had told the popular estate that D. Henrique was about to reach an agreement with Philip II; however, the nuncio commented that this was untrue and had not been explicitly ordered by the cardinal.12 Together, these letters suggest that rumors circulated that António Pinheiro had privileged information from the Cardinal King but had twisted it a little in order to favor, as much as possible, the interests of Philip II.\nThe third estate’s vigorous rejection of any suggestion of a foreign king, combined with the division among the estate of nobility, where Philip II received only one more vote than either D. Catarina or the Prior of Crato, effectively prevented D. Henrique from taking any final decision before he died on 31 January 1580. His inability to proclaim any satisfactory solution contributed to the creation of the historiographical myth that his hesitation delivered Portugal to the Spanish.\n3. From negotiation to war\nImmediately after D. Henrique’s death, power was transferred to the five governors elected at the Lisbon Cortes. They were divided about the best solution to be taken, although they tended to agree about choosing a king with the best dynastic claim from a juridical point of view. Basically, the archbishop of Lisbon hesitated about supporting anyone. João Telo de Meneses opposed Philip II, while the other three (João de Mascarenhas, Francisco de Sá de Meneses and Diogo Lopes de Sousa) supported the King of Spain (Veloso 1953: 4). Initially, given the obvious social and political divisions in the realm - including among themselves - they merely tried to prevent Philip II from launching a military invasion of Portugal. Accordingly, they sent a special embassy to the Spanish court, formed by the Bishop of Coimbra, Gaspar do Casal, and Manuel de Melo (Veiga 1999: 360-361). Simultaneously, in a letter dated 19 February 1580, they asked Pope Gregory XIII to urge Philip II not to use military force to conquer the Portuguese throne.14\nThe coming months were very confused and full of political activity, with different centers of power emerging.\nThe governors, still split among themselves, preserved a general atmosphere of indecision while trying to create conditions for respecting a juridical solution that would be confirmed through the Cortes. On 30 April 1580, they convoked them, although they were never formally summoned. During this period, they apparently trusted the role bishops could play in preserving peace in their dioceses and respecting the decisions taken by the governors. They even sent a circular letter to all prelates, ordering them to encourage their flocks to be ready to defend Portugal against anyone who tried to conquer its crown against their decisions, also asking them to be alert and not to allow their clergy, especially during sermons, to take public positions in favor of any of the candidates (Rolo 1964: 23).\nPhilip II tried to profit from the circumstance that Portugal’s three estates were still assembled at Almeirim (the Cortes were not closed immediately after D. Henrique died, and were only suspended on 15 March) by offering them a solution based on the agreement he had negotiated with the late king, including the various privileges among the different estates and also offering a certain amount of autonomy to the kingdom. His position was made explicit in a document of 25 chapters, presented by Ossuna at Almeirim on 20 March 1580, entitled Memorial de las gracias y mercedes que el Rey nuestro señor concederá a estos reynos quando fuere jurado rey y señor dellos (…) (Bouza 2005: 69, 80-82).\nAt the same time, Philip II made it very clear that he considered himself the legitimate king of Portugal. This was clearly demonstrated in the first days of April, when he received the representatives sent by the governors not as ambassadors, but as vassals - a significant difference, as some of the governors noticed (Veloso 1953: 41). But together with his one hand wearing a velvet glove of peaceful and “generous” strategy, Philip II showed an iron fist in the other by preparing troops for an invasion. On 20 May, for example, the governors convoked a Council of State to discuss a letter from the Spanish ambassador, in which Philip II declared that if he was not declared monarch of Portugal by 8 June, he would invade the kingdom (Veloso 1953: 112). In Portugal, Cristóvão de Moura kept trying to convince some notable Portuguese figures to declare for Philip II and rewarded others by offering them privileges and even bribes. D. Jorge de Ataíde, the former bishop of Viseu, for example, was offered an amount of one thousand cruzados yearly, according to a letter dated 25 January 1580 that he kept among his papers.15\nMeanwhile, D. António, Prior of Crato, had mustered considerable support, especially among ordinary people. He simultaneously sought international help and tried to reopen the legal process of legitimizing his birth. If he could only be declared legitimate, he would undoubtedly overtake all rival candidates and be declared heir to the Portuguese crown. On 19 June 1580, stimulated by the bishop of Guarda, João de Portugal, a group of his supporters at Santarém publicly acclaimed him as the new king of Portugal. Four days later, he and his forces entered Lisbon, where he was also received as king and began acting as Portugal’s new monarch (Veloso 1953: 151-153 and Serrão 1956).\nAt this moment, the governors and the various supporters of Philip II around them (including the bishop of Leiria, António Pinheiro, and the former bishop of Viseu, Jorge de Ataíde) escaped to Setúbal, fifty kilometers south of Lisbon. A few days later, on 17 July, the three governors who had clearly supported Philip II from the beginning, and now, pursued by the forces of D. António, had fled from Setúbal, decided to declare Philip II King of Portugal.16\nIn this whirlwind of political confusion, only D. Catarina de Bragança, aware of her military weakness but confident of her dynastic rights, still insisted on a juridical solution. On 20 June, her husband insisted that the governors proclaim her as queen, because, by using force, both Philip II and D. António had broken the agreement reached during the Lisbon Cortes (Veloso 1953: 158).\nThroughout these six dramatic months, what was the attitude of the bishops? Once more, we can find no homogeneous scenario. In February and March, some of them remained at Almeirim, still one of the main centers of power, where Moura and Osuna kept trying to convince not only the bishops but also other members of the nobility of the advantages of declaring Philip II king, despite risking accusations of treason. As the nuncio informed Rome, a riot had occurred shortly before 22 March, when they were assembled with the bishops.17\nAt this point, it became particularly evident that Philip II was seeking support from the Portuguese episcopacy. This was one point in his strategy for conquering the Portuguese crown by preventing preachers in particular, and the lower clergy in general, from using Portugal’s pulpits against him.\nAccording to Bouza (Bouza 2005: 112-113), his negotiations with the bishops were difficult because, especially after a 1578 agreement between the clergy and the king D. Sebastião, the privileges of the Church, and particularly its jurisdictional privileges, were enormous, far beyond those existing in Spain.18 Philip’s official Memorial de las gracias y mercedes referred to Church privileges in chapters 9, 10, 15 and 18.19 Basically, it said that all bishops, heads of religious orders, holders of church benefices subject to royal appointment, and the Inquisitor General were positions that had to be given to Portuguese natives; that the king would not impose new taxes on the Church and clergy, like the “terças, subsidios e escusados” levied in Castile; that whenever the king was away from Portugal, he had to be accompanied by one clergyman and another Portuguese who would form a council (Conselho de Portugal) to be consulted about all Portuguese matters; finally, that, like previous kings of Portugal, the king would maintain a royal chapel in Lisbon. Following Bouza’s interpretation, supported also by Federico Palomo, it was only after these concessions that the Portuguese bishops accepted the union of the crowns of Portugal and Spain (Bouza 1987: vol. 2, 580-581; Palomo 2004: 69-70).\nI am, however, less sure about the decisive importance of these negotiations in persuading the bishops. According to a letter from Almeirim dated 28 March, only António Pinheiro, bishop of Leiria, Jerónimo de Meneses, bishop of Miranda, Teotónio de Bragança, archbishop of Évora, and Jorge de Ataíde, the former bishop of Viseu were present at Almeirim when these arrangements were discussed, and they confirmed their support of Philip II by acknowledging the “sacred zeal” he had always shown when confronting the problem of Portugal’s dynastic succession.20 As shown above, three of them (Pinheiro, Meneses, and Ataíde) had already decided to support Philip II a long time before, at least since March/April 1579, and were not particularly worried about these negotiations. Moreover, other bishops who were probably not at Almeirim in March 1580, for example Miguel de Castro (Viseu), Jerónimo Osório (Algarve) and André de Noronha (Elvas), did not wait for these concessions to the clergy before declaring their support for the king of Spain. As we have seen, Osório’s letter of 4 January 1580 invoked reasons other than the privileges conceded to the Church for giving his support to Philip II. On 11 June, Osório wrote to Philip II, boasting that he had done his best to defend him at Almeirim and was still continuously doing so in his diocese. He again acknowledged his prudent support for the king of Castile, recognizing that Philip II could easily conquer Portugal by force, but praising him for preferring to act more as a father than as an \"imperial lord\".21\nSo, I accept that negotiation remained an important strategic element in Philip II’s policy, but it was not decisive for convincing most bishops, except Teotónio de Bragança and perhaps Gaspar do Casal. According to our available information, the Archbishop of Evora changed his position between late January and March 1580; until then he had remained loyal to his relative, D. Catarina, but by the end of March he was on Philip II’s side. Yet he had apparently decided to support the king of Castile even before Moura and Ossuna produced the so-called Mercês de Almeirim. He started a letter dated 3 March 1580 complimenting Philip II on the birth of a new daughter, by declaring that he was ‘always ready to serve’ Philip II.22\nWe have little information about the attitude of Gaspar do Casal before March 1580, although he was generally in sympathy with D. Henrique. So it seems plausible that he was inclined to support Philip II by January 1580, if still slightly hesitant. In any event, there is no doubt that by April he was supporting the king of Castile.23\nOther bishops maintained an ambiguous or non-explicit position between February and July. One was the archbishop of Lisbon and also one of the governors, Jorge de Almeida. Apparently his conduct resembled that of D. Henrique, the former king. Some of his actions reveal support for Philip II. The best example is his opposition to reopening the procedure legitimizing D. António. As one of the judges at the first inquest into legitimizing D. António, carried out while D. Henrique was alive, he was pressed by the papal nuncio between March and June 1580 to reopen it. But Almeida blocked all attempts to do so, and no new legitimization procedure was ever begun by a new tribunal (Castro 1942: 104-106). Throughout these months, Almeida often met with Cristóvão de Moura. At one of them, in early May, he promised Moura that, as Inquisitor General, he would punish a friar who had preached a sermon claiming that any Portuguese who died fighting against Philip II’s troops would enter Paradise (Veloso 1953: 76). In any event, like the Cardinal King, he was afraid of a war; in June, exactly one day before D. António was acclaimed at Santarém, Almeida was still begging Moura to give him more time to summon the Cortes and have a final and consensual solution approved there (Veloso 1953:142-143).\nAnother prelate who never revealed an explicit position was the Archbishop of Braga, Bartolomeu dos Mártires. It appears that he too was primarily concerned with shaping some juridical solution that would prevent a war between partisans of D. António and Philip II, and therefore remained officially neutral. That is how I prefer to interpret his absence from all the Cortes, his public silence about the succession issue after August 1578, and also the position he took in a pastoral letter promulgated on 11 May 1580, after receiving the order sent by the governors to all Portuguese prelates. His pastoral letter makes it very clear that his main intention was to maintain peace (he even ordered all good Christians to make prayers and processions for its promotion), together with a neutral position and respect for all decisions made by duly constituted public officials, i.e. the five governors.24 The heated controversies of forty years earlier, debating whether this famous archbishop’s attitudes reveal him as a patriot trying to prevent the realm from being handed to Philip II (Rolo 1964), or blaming him as someone whose silence and hesitation made him indirectly responsible for Philip II’s triumph (Serrão 1964), make no sense at all.\nFinally, we must recognize that the two bishops who were most active politically throughout the succession crisis (excluding Jorge de Almeida, who was a governor) were António Pinheiro and João de Portugal. The first consistently promoted Philip II’s candidacy; the second masterminded D. António’s strategy.\nPinheiro defended Castilian interests in the Council of State, for example in late March, when he opposed the decision that the governors were about to take concerning the necessity of summoning a new Cortes to declare who should be king. He seems to have always been well informed about the measures Philip II was planning. For example, on May 2, Moura told him that Philip II had obtained declarations from Spanish theologians, clarifying his right to make war in order to defend his legitimate rights (Veloso 1953: 60). And Pinheiro frequently displayed agreement with policies followed by Castile. Fernando Bouza found two very important letters from him that confirm this interpretation. In the first, the bishop of Leiria argued that the Portuguese were so individualistic that it was better to persuade them to support Philip II by offering individual rewards rather than general privileges. In the second, dated March 1580, when the necessity of using military force became increasingly evident, Pinheiro said that those (he called them “evil men”) who refused the rewards and privileges offered by Philip II must be convinced by the “hammer of fear” (Bouza 2005: 75, 78). His explicit and public engagement explain why, after D. António entered Lisbon in July, he had to flee, together with Jorge de Ataíde the former bishop of Viseu. And, as the papal nuncio informed Rome, both men’s lives and honor were at risk on that occasion.26\nOn the opposite side emerged the equally prominent role of João de Portugal. His position was very well known to the alert Cristóvão de Moura; in a letter to Philip II in April, Moura reported that the bishop, his brother Manuel de Portugal, the governor João Telo de Meneses, the Jesuit Martim Gonçalves da Câmara and Febo Moniz were the king of Spain’s worst enemies (Veloso 1953: 74). By the end of May, Moura knew about the meetings held at Santarém, at which the bishop and his friends had hatched their conspiracies (Veloso 1953: 148).\nFinally, it was João de Portugal, who on Sunday 18 June, after mass, proclaimed in a very enthusiastic speech to a large audience that D. António was the only Portuguese capable of preventing Portugal, with God’s mercy, from falling into Spanish hands. So, he concluded, our only hope was to proclaim the Prior of Crato as defender of the realm, and assist him in a spirit of resistance and sacrifice (Serrão 1956: 16-17). After D. António’s uprising, during the few weeks when he managed to act like a king in Lisbon, the papal nuncio considered the bishop of Guarda one of the most powerful people in the “new state”.27\nHe paid heavily for it. Philip II showed him no pity. In April 1585, a court presided over by Pedro de Castilho, the former bishop of Angra (Azores) and loyal to Philip II, deprived him of his bishopric, his priestly rank, and every ecclesiastical benefice he possessed. He was also denaturalized and sentenced to prison for life in a monastery in Spain, where he died (Castro 1942: 359-362).\n4. The final assault\nAfter D. António’s uprising on 18 June at Santarém, followed by his entry into Lisbon, where Manuel de Almada, another former bishop of Angra, also supported him (Serrão 1956: 45), Philip II had no other choice than to invade Portugal with his army. On 18 June (the same day as the uprising at Santarém), the border towns of Campo Maior and Elvas surrendered to Philip II without fighting. At Elvas, an agreement was made with the approval of the local bishop, António Mendes de Carvalho (Veloso 1953: 159-160). On 28 June, commanded by the renowned Duke of Alba, Philip II’s infantry crossed the Portuguese border and headed in the direction of Lisbon. En route, on 25 August, at a place called Alcântara, Philip II’s troops routed the outnumbered and under-prepared forces of D. António, who managed to escape towards northern Portugal during the battle. This result explains why Philip II, after this lengthy process, considered that he had simultaneously inherited, purchased, and conquered the kingdom of Portugal (Serrão 2001: 80).\nOnly after the battle of Alcântara was the question of the Portuguese succession definitively decided. However, from a legal viewpoint, the proclamation of Castro Marim, made on 17 July by three of the five governors, officially transformed the monarch of Castile into the King of Portugal. The king’s formal acclamation occurred several months later, at a session of the Cortes held at the town of Tomar in April 1581.\nAfter the battle of Alcântara, all the bishops (except of course João de Portugal), including those who until then had remained hesitant or neutral, like D. Jorge de Almeida, Bartolomeu dos Mártires or Simão de Sá Pereira, rapidly showed their support for the new king. And all of them attended the Cortes of Tomar in April 1581, except Jerónimo Osório, the bishop of Algarve, who had died on 20 August 1580. At the Cortes, António Pinheiro, of course, gave the opening speech (Bouza Alvarez 1987: vol. 1 218-220, and Serrão 1956: 215-216).\nWe have abundant proof of the open and rapid support given by the bishops to Philip II. Chronologically, the first is a letter from the Bishop of Portalegre, André de Noronha, dated 29 August, in which he vividly congratulates the new king on the “reduction of Lisbon to His Majesty’s service”.27 One month before this, he had opposed the acclamation of D. António at Portalegre.28 But from a rhetorical point of view, the most interesting letter was the one written by the Bishop of Miranda, Jerónimo de Meneses, in December 1580. No one else expressed such flattery towards the new king.29 At Viseu, as expected, Bishop Miguel de Castro also played an important role in proclaiming Philip II as the new king in the first days of September, despite some local resistance.30\nEven those bishops who had not openly declared themselves before August now supported Philip II.\nOn 9 September, Jorge de Almeida, Archbishop of Lisbon, finally ended his indecision and wrote to Gabriel Zaias, a secretary of Philip II, expressing his desire to visit the new king personally and kiss his hand.31 His visit was postponed at Philip’s orders, despite the continuous insistence of the archbishop to do so.32\nAnother archbishop, Bartolomeu dos Mártires, who had refused to proclaim D. António in August, despite pressure from some inhabitants of Braga which had forced him to abandon his seat briefly, decided to proclaim Philip II as king, at the town where he was archbishop and lord, on the first of September. Two days earlier, he had written to Garcia Sarmiento de Sotomayor, a Castilian general, saying that because he opposed D. António some people from Braga had tried to kill him and that his intention had always been to preserve justice (Serrão 1964: 268-269). And, on 11 November, answering a letter from Philip II, he reassured the new ruler that he would persecute and punish any cleric who had been loyal to D. António during the crisis.33\nAt Oporto, Simão de Sá Pereira - who always kept in close touch with his neighbor Bartolomeu dos Mártires, including when both had been forced to flee from their towns under pressure from D. António’s forces - showed his subordination to the new king’s orders in letters written in December.34\nDuring the coming years, recognizing the help he had received and purporting to show his gratitude, Philip II promoted some of the bishops who had supported him during these two dramatic years. As one would expect, António Pinheiro received important and lucrative offices in the new Portuguese administration (Veiga 1999: vol. 1 392), as did D. Jorge de Ataíde who remained as head court chaplain and in December 1580 was made President of the Mesa da Consciência.35 Miguel de Castro, the Bishop of Viseu, was made archbishop of Lisbon and later became one of the kingdom’s governors. André de Noronha, Bishop of Portalegre, was promoted to the Spanish bishopric of Plasencia, while Jerónimo de Meneses was transferred from the impoverished diocese of Miranda to wealthier Oporto. Other prelates from the Portuguese overseas empire who supported Philip II were also promoted. As I have demonstrated elsewhere, it was during his government that we find the highest number of bishops already serving the previous king being promoted (Paiva 2006).\nSuch developments led Federico Palomo to conclude that during the first years of Philip II’s government as king of Portugal, and relying on the agreements preserving the privileges of the Portuguese Church (presented at Almeirim and confirmed at the Cortes held in Tomar), Portugal’s episcopate offered no opposition to the new king and indeed acted as very important allies who contributed to the consolidation and legitimization of the new monarch’s rule (Palomo 2004: 78-80). But this period is part of another story.\nFor purposes of clarity and objectivity, I offer my conclusions in the form of six summary statements.\n1 – It is no longer possible to assert that there was some uniform position taken by “the Portuguese Church” during Portugal’s dynastic crisis of 1578-1581. Even assuming that its bishops represented the Portuguese Church, this study makes it clear that the Portuguese episcopate had no single consensual position. Thirteen different mainland bishops played different roles at different times. The `field’ of Portuguese clergy, including its bishops, remained deeply divided over this vital issue.\n2 – Episcopal attitudes evolved continuously throughout this crisis. The general tendency reveals that, over time, an increasing number of prelates supported Philip II, although a majority of them preferred Catarina de Bragança until May/June 1579. In any event, the time at which each chose to declare or act as a supporter of Philip II differed from bishop to bishop.\n3 – In general, bishops kept a very low strategic profile about intervening at the center of this political dispute. Although a few of them (António Pinheiro, bishop of Miranda and Leiria; Jorge de Ataíde, former bishop of Viseu, João de Bragança, bishop of Guarda; and Jorge de Almeida, archbishop of Lisbon) played particularly active and decisive roles, most preferred to remain prudent in their support of the various candidates.\n4 – We still have no overview of the real impact and importance of Portugal’s episcopate at a diocesan level; but their collective proceedings at the Cortes or individual dealings with agents of Portugal’s political center make it clear that every important candidate for the throne sought their support, implying that the candidates were aware and convinced of their importance.\n5 – Insofar as we can find any governing logic behind the positions assumed by the Portuguese episcopacy, it seems that a majority acted in defense of their personal, family and clientage interests, revealing an acute sense of opportunism. However, within this individualistic framework, four main reasons emerge to help explain their attitudes and motivations: a) preserving Catholicism in Portugal; b) preserving the privileges of the Portuguese Church and clergy; c) awareness that it was impossible to resist the power of Philip II; and d), the necessity of avoiding war if possible.\n6 – If Philip II became king of Portugal, a majority of Portuguese bishops ultimately contributed to his success. And the new ruler crushed the only one who had vehemently opposed him.\n* I wish to thank my friend and American colleague William Monter for his assistance in improving the English of my original draft.\n1Council created in 1532 to advise the king on religious matters.\n2Appellate tribunal with jurisdiction over criminal and civil justice.\n3Archivio Segreto Vaticano [hereafter ASV], Segretaria di Stato, Portogallo, vol. 7, fol. 230.\n4ASV - Segretaria di Stato, Portogallo, vol. 7, fl. 32.\n5ASV - Segretaria di Stato, Portogallo, vol. 4, fl. 59.\n6ASV - Segretaria di Stato, Portogallo, vol. 7, fols. 179-180.\n7BACELAR, Manuel da Cunha de Andrade e Sousa - Epítome historica e panegirica da vida, acçoens e morte do Excellentissimo e reverendissimo Senhor Dom Antonio Mendes de Carvalho, primeiro bispo de Elvas.

{"text": "The word ‘earthing’ is used in UK whereas ‘grounding’ in US but meaning the same. Earthing has a significance in electrical engineering to the fact that earth has very high capacitance of .0007 F, a very high value assuming it be infinity, and not to cause any potential change (V=Q/C) when gaining or loosing even enormous charge during lightning, fault current etc. It is, therefore, convenient to accept earth body possessing equipotential, and thus, accepting as reference potential. Every electrical appliance body is connected to earth and the reason for word ‘earthing’ (or grounding) to find relevance. Earthing provides path for the fault current to flow through the earth and helping the protection relay to sense the high current and trip the circuit.\nPower distribution transformer output supply is a 4-terminal output of which three phases (R,Y, and B) and one neutral as shown in the diagram. The neutral is connected to earth at the sub-station and all metallic non-current carrying parts of the installation. One of the phase and neutral is given to your residence along with an earth connection generated near your residence by digging a pit and inserting a pipe. Therefore, there are three wires in your house called phase, neutral and earth. Phase and neutral are connected to power the equipment whereas earth terminal is connected to the body of the equipment through earth terminal of the plug and socket.\nProtection Class of Electrical Appliance\nThere are four classes namely 0, I, II and III classes of equipment for the need of protection and given as follows:\n0 Class: Products that are Class 0 features a single level of insulation and body of the appliance not connected to earth. This means that 1 fault could cause an electric shock to its user or at the very least cause a spark that can easily escalate to a fire. Such products are no more used and one should be carefully that he is not buying such appliances.\nI Class: Products in this class have an earth circuit built-in and an earth wire in the plug. All metal parts of the products are earthed via the protective conductor. A Fault in the appliance should trip and over current device like a fuse or circuit breaker protecting the end user. Kitchen appliances are good examples of I class such as kettles, irons, washing machines, microwave oven, fridges, etc.\nII Class: These products does not have earth circuit and no earth wire in the plug. These products are commonly known as ‘double insulated’ with floating potential such that one fault will cause development of higher voltages. Such products are Electronic appliances such as TV, Laptop, mobile charger, TV setup box, etc.\nIII Class: These products operate at SELV (Separated Extra Low Voltage) and the device cannot produce enough voltage to risk the user getting an electric shock.\nDesign features of three pin Plug and Socket for electrical safety\n- The earth terminal is thick and longer so that earth terminal is connected first, ability to handle fault current and easy identification. Suppose you are not using three terminal plug-socket and instead using only two terminal plug. Have you imagined what will happen, if there is fault inside the equipment where phase is shorted with the body? The user if touching the body will get fetal electrical shock. Now, if it is three pin plug, the body is now connected to electrical earth and heavy current will flow from phase towards to ground resulting electrical protection to trip the circuit and you will come to know that there is some electrical fault inside the equipment.\n- An insulated sleeve is provided at the shank of the phase and neutral pin to save from accidental touch with the terminal when there is a gap between the socket and plug.\n- There is a shutter on the three pin terminal which opens when earth terminal enters first, touches the earth connection and opens the phase and neutral through a lever mechanism for phase and neutral wire to contact. This follows the basic principle of\n- In some plugs, a fuse is also in-built.\n- These are class I products.\nHave you ever thought why plug for mobile charger, laptop, TV, Setup box is having only two pin and how safety is taken into consideration\n- All electronic devices are low voltage devices fed by power supply where 230V AC is converted to desired low voltage level.\n- Double insulation is provided to avoid any fault in AC circuit\n- DC system is at floating voltage system and one fault in the equipment will not cause any problem as it will not get return path.\n- Some manufacturer uses three pin plug and where the third terminal is a dummy to provide stability to the plug and also to drop the lever to open the phase and neutral points.\n- These are Class II or III products.\nThe fuse or other protective MCB will not work always if body get connected with the live terminal through high resistance. The appliance will still keep on working with current leakage. Such leakage raises the level of ground potential on your switch board making it unsafe. It is important to identify such defects. Two types of protection system developed namely leak voltage detection by ‘Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker’ and current unbalance detection by ‘Residual Current Detection’\nWhat is ELCB?\nA voltage-operated ELCB detects a rise in potential between the house earth connecting equipment frames, metallic conduits, water pipes etc. and a distant isolated earth reference electrode. It operate on detecting potential of around 50 volts to open a main breaker at the main distribution board to isolate the supply to the premises. ELCB was introduced at the beginning of 20th century but associated with spurious tripping. Indian Railways also introduced directive for providing ELCB at offices and residential complex but there were not much takers due to technical problem of correct adjustment. During the period there were cases of electrocution while spreading wet cloth on metallic string for drying during monsoon season when electric current leaked through walls with no protection circuit to work.\nWhat is RCD?\nCurrent always travel in a close circuit of insulated wire. In case, the insulation weakens, there is a tendency of the current leaks to the ground, and the entire current will not return through neutral wire. It means, the current through phase and neutral will be different in such fault condition. A current through the wire produces electro-magnetic field around it and if the circuit is designed in which the electro-magnetic field produced by the current of phase and neutral opposes each other, than it shall be possible to detect if there is any difference between the two. This is the principle followed in RCD and found wide application for electrical safety. RCD is for detection of leaking current and RCCB is having RCD as well as circuit breaker to break the circuit. This is how the RCCB looks like. The leakage current shown is 100 mA and if the difference of current that is going in and coming out of the system exceeds 100 mA the position changes automatically to off position.\nThe best safety option every house hold shall have.\nThere are many makes of RCCB available in the market. You may heard of the advertisement on TV ‘laga laga….’ and talks about residual current detection. RCCB and MCB together makes your house safe from electrical shock.\nYou may also like:\n- Electrical Protection System -Train Lighting and Air Condtioning\n- Understanding electical cable and and its role in fire\n- Electrical Protection System – Tap Changer Locomotive\n- Electrical accidents waiting to happen…\n- Indian Electricity Rules, 2005 defines the basic fundamentals of Electricity…\n- How to be confident about safe use of electricity?", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Pakistan Beginnings of Self-Government\nSource: The Library of Congress Country Studies\nThe Government of India Act of 1909--also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms (John Morley was the secretary of state for India, and Gilbert Elliot, fourth earl of Minto, was viceroy)-- gave Indians limited roles in the central and provincial legislatures, known as legislative councils. Indians had previously been appointed to legislative councils, but after the reforms some were elected to them. At the center, the majority of council members continued to be government-appointed officials, and the viceroy was in no way responsible to the legislature. At the provincial level, the elected members, together with unofficial appointees, outnumbered the appointed officials, but responsibility of the governor to the legislature was not contemplated. Morley made it clear in introducing the legislation to the British Parliament that parliamentary self-government was not the goal of the British government.\nThe granting of separate electorates and communal representation was welcomed by Muslims but opposed by Congress. The Muslim League was pleased by the apparent British intention to support and safeguard Muslim interests in the subcontinent. Separate electorates remained a part of the Muslim League platform even after the independence of Pakistan. Congress opposition was understandable. As the majority community in most provinces, Hindus stood to lose from weighted minority representation. Congress also presented itself as a national secular party and could not support identification of voters with a particular community.\nThe Morley-Minto Reforms were a milestone. Step by step, the elective principle was introduced for membership in Indian legislative councils. The \"electorate\" was limited, however, to a small group of upper-class Indians. These elected members increasingly became an \"opposition\" to the \"official government.\" Communal electorates were later extended to other communities and made a political factor of the Indian tendency toward group identification through religion. The practice created certain vital questions for all concerned. The intentions of the British were questioned. How humanitarian was their concern for the minorities? Were separate electorates a manifestation of \"divide and rule\"?\nFor Muslims it was important both to gain a place in all- India politics and to retain their Muslim identity, objectives that required varying responses according to circumstances, as the example of Mohammad Ali Jinnah illustrates. Jinnah, who was born in 1876, studied law in England and began his career as an enthusiastic liberal in Congress on returning to India. In 1913 he joined the Muslim League, which had been shocked by the 1911 annulment of the partition of Bengal into cooperating with Congress to make demands on the British. Jinnah continued his membership in Congress until 1919. During this dual membership period, he was described by a leading Congress spokesperson as the \"ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity.\"\nIndia's important contributions to the efforts of the British Empire in World War I stimulated further demands by Indians and further response from the British. Congress and the Muslim League met in joint session in December 1916. Under the leadership of Jinnah and Pandit Motilal Nehru (father of Jawalharlal Nehru), unity was preached and a proposal for constitutional reform was made that included the concept of separate electorates. The resulting Congress-Muslim League Pact (often referred to as the Lucknow Pact) was a sincere effort to compromise. Congress accepted the separate electorates demanded by the Muslim League, and the Muslim League joined with Congress in demanding self-government. The pact was expected to lead to permanent and constitutional united action.\nIn August 1917, the British government formally announced a policy of \"increasing association of Indians in every branch of the administration and the gradual development of self-governing institutions with a view to the progressive realization of responsible government in India as an integral part of the British Empire.\" Constitutional reforms were embodied in the Government of India Act of 1919--also known as the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms (Edwin Samuel Montagu was Britain's secretary of state for India; the Marquess of Chelmsford was viceroy). These reforms represented the maximum concessions the British were prepared to make at that time. The franchise was extended, and increased authority was given to central and provincial legislative councils, but the viceroy remained responsible only to London.\nThe changes at the provincial level were significant, as the provincial legislative councils contained a considerable majority of elected members. In a system called \"dyarchy,\" the nation- building departments of government--agriculture, education, public works, and the like--were placed under ministers who were individually responsible to the legislature. The departments that made up the \"steel frame\" of British rule--finance, revenue, and home affairs--were retained by executive councillors who were often, but not always, British and who were responsible to the governor.\nThe 1919 reforms did not satisfy political demands in India. The British repressed opposition, and restrictions on the press and on movement were reenacted. An apparently unwitting example of violation of rules against the gathering of people led to the massacre at Jalianwala Bagh in Amritsar in April 1919. This tragedy galvanized such political leaders as Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964) and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) and the masses who followed them to press for further action.\nThe Allies' post-World War I peace settlement with Turkey provided an additional stimulus to the grievances of the Muslims, who feared that one goal of the Allies was to end the caliphate of the Ottoman sultan. After the end of the Mughal Empire, the Ottoman caliph had become the symbol of Islamic authority and unity to Indian Sunni Muslims. A pan-Islamic movement, known as the Khilafat Movement, spread in India. It was a mass repudiation of Muslim loyalty to British rule and thus legitimated Muslim participation in the Indian nationalist movement. The leaders of the Khilafat Movement used Islamic symbols to unite the diverse but assertive Muslim community on an all-India basis and bargain with both Congress leaders and the British for recognition of minority rights and political concessions.\nMuslim leaders from the Deoband and Aligarh movements joined Gandhi in mobilizing the masses for the 1920 and 1921 demonstrations of civil disobedience and noncooperation in response to the massacre at Amritsar. At the same time, Gandhi endorsed the Khilafat Movement, thereby placing many Hindus behind what had been solely a Muslim demand.\nDespite impressive achievements, however, the Khilafat Movement failed. Turkey rejected the caliphate and became a secular state. Furthermore, the religious, mass-based aspects of the movement alienated such Western-oriented constitutional politicians as Jinnah, who resigned from Congress. Other Muslims also were uncomfortable with Gandhi's leadership. The British historian Sir Percival Spear wrote that \"a mass appeal in his [Gandhi's] hands could not be other than a Hindu one. He could transcend caste but not community. The [Hindu] devices he used went sour in the mouths of Muslims.\" In the final analysis, the movement failed to lay a lasting foundation of Indian unity and served only to aggravate Hindu-Muslim differences among masses that were being politicized. Indeed, as India moved closer to the self-government implied in the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, rivalry over what might be called the spoils of independence sharpened the differences between the communities. .\nThe political picture in India was not at all clear when the mandated decennial review of the Government of India Act of 1919 became due in 1929. Prospects of further constitutional reforms spurred greater agitation and a frenzy of demands from different groups. The commission in charge of the review was headed by Sir John Simon, who recommended further constitutional change, but it was not until 1935 that a new Government of India Act was passed. Three consecutive roundtable conferences were held in London in 1930, 1931, and 1932, at which a wide variety of interests from India were represented. The major disagreement concerned the continuation of separate electorates, which Gandhi and Congress strongly opposed. As a result, the decision was forced on the British government. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald issued his \"communal award,\" which continued the system of separate electorates at both the central and the provincial level.\nThe principal result of the act was \"provincial autonomy.\" The dyarchical system was discontinued, and all subjects were placed under ministers who were individually and collectively responsible to the former legislative councils, which were renamed legislative assemblies. (In a few provinces, including Bengal, a bicameral system was established; the upper house continued to be called a legislative council.) Almost all assembly members were elected, with the exception of some special and otherwise unrepresented groups. After the elections, provincial chief ministers and cabinets took office, although the governors had limited \"emergency powers.\" Sindh was separated from Bombay and became a province. The 1919 reforms had earlier been introduced in the North-West Frontier Province. Balochistan, however, retained special status; it had no legislature and was governed by an \"agent general to the governor general.\" At the center, the act essentially provided for the establishment of dyarchy, but it also provided for a federal system that included the princes. The princes refused to join a system that might force them to accept decisions made by elected politicians. Thus, the full provisions of the 1935 act did not come into force at the center.\nData as of April 1994\nNOTE: The information regarding Pakistan on this page is re-published from The Library of Congress Country Studies.

{"text": "Learn something new every day More Info... by email\nWorm infections may afflict both humans and domestic animals, benzimidazole derivatives refer to a class of drugs that can often be used to treat roundworm, or nematode, cases as well as those due to flatworms, or trematodes. This class of worm medicine has been used for decades, and remain a fairly common treatment in many cases because of their efficacy. Benzimidazole derivatives are so named because they are derived from a single compound, known as benzimidazole.\nDrugs in this family tend to have similar chemical structures, but differ in their dosing and other physical properties, such as how well they dissolve in water or are absorbed by the body. They include albendazole, oxibendazole, mebendazole, and flubendazole. Of this class, triclabendazole cannot be used to treat roundworms, and a few compounds, like albendazole and netobimin, may be used to treat liver fluke infections.\nThese benzimidazole derivatives have a common mechanism of action. They interfere with the construction of cell structures in worms known as microtubules. Microtubules require constant maintenance in order to remain effective, and they are a necessary part of growth and cellular division. Benzimidazole and its related compounds cap off one end of these structures, preventing them from extending, and causing them to disintegrate; this action not only allows these drugs to prevent worms from growing and reproducing, but they can also directly kill the worms through cellular damage.\nOften, these pharmaceutical drugs are used in veterinary medicine, but they may also be used in humans as well. Most commonly, they can be used as worm medicine in cases that affect ruminants, such as cows, as well as horses. Benzimidazole derivatives are somewhat less effective when treating infections in other animals, but are sometimes used in cases involving cats, birds, and dogs and may occasionally used in treating both worm and fungal conditions in humans.\nMost benzimidazole derivatives are only minimally soluble in water, so they may be applied as a paste or in a liquid suspension. To overcome the fact that these drugs can sometimes have difficulty absorbing into the body, they may be taken in repeated doses, twice a day, for lengths of time lasting as long as several weeks. Consistent dosing in this manner can often effectively treat a variety of worm infections, including those that might be resistant to other medications. This potent efficacy is the reason that many types of benzimidazoles continue to be used, despite their common issues of absorption and solubility.\nOne of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Bifurcation of J&K\nArticle 370 and 35A have been abrogated. Let us understand the dynamics of new political and security dimensions of the historic decision. It would put an end to the money-making industry being run by a privileged few by looting the generous funds received from the Central government thus ensuring development and empowerment of the ordinary citizens.\nWith the passing of J&K Reorganisation Bill-2019, unified entity of J&K state as created by the Dogra ruler Maharaja Gulab Singh will become a part of history and two new political entities will emerge. A union territory (UT) of J&K with legislative powers and a UT of Ladakh without a legislature. While there are different models of UTs in India, UT of J&K will adopt Puducherry Model under Article 239A of the Constitution of India.\nThe separate Constitution of J&K promoted separatism rather than ensuring state’s full integration with the rest of India. The Constitution of India will be fully applicable without any exceptions in J&K. The separate state constitution will cease to be operative and with that the separate flag enjoying the same status as the National Flag. Only the National Flag will fly atop all government buildings and the government offices. Any disrespect to the national flag and national anthem would be a cognizable offence. Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) or the State Subject, which used to be the most prized possession of the state residents and most difficult to procure if one happened to be from any other community, will now become an ordinary document like many other documents. A big relief to the common man and particularly those who were denied the privileges enjoyed by the permanent residents of the state. There will be no gender discrimination. Tourism potential will be exploited to the full. Ranbir Penal Code will form part of the archives. In other words, the symbols of being different and special will cease to exist and from Kanyakumari to Kupwara and Lakshdweep to Ladakh India will be one and all will be Indians.\nSome are crying foul and trying to fuel communal passions to ensure the continuation of their hegemony, it would be suffice to say that the days of feudal attitude and open loot are over. The preamble to the Constitution of J&K did not refer the state as secular while the Constitution of India proclaims India as a secular nation.\nWhat are the implications of reorganisation? UT of J&K will have a legislative assembly and no legislative council. It would have a council of ministers with 10 ministers (not exceeding 10% of total legislators) headed by a Chief Minister. Lt Governor will replace the Governor. The UT of Ladakh will continue to be governed by the two autonomous hill councils headed by the Lt Governor (LG). There will be common High Court for both the UTs. J&K UT will continue with JK Public Service Commission, Ladakh UT will be served by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). All major Central laws & Commissions will be applicable in both the UTs by deleting the term “excluding State of J&K” from the Acts governing them. Election Commission of India will henceforth conduct all the elections in J&K UT instead of the Chief Election Officer (CEO). All Indian citizens will be eligible to register themselves as voters as per the existing electoral laws as applicable in rest of the country. Local land laws have been retained.\nThe provision of Article 239A applicable to Puducherry will be applicable to new J&K UT. The legislative assembly will enjoy the power to legislate on all matters in the State List except “police” and “public order” and all matters in the Concurrent List. The J&K Police will be under the control of Home Ministry, as in the case of Delhi. However, in Puducherry law and order is a state subject. This is the main reason bothering the Kashmiri leaders who used to have full control over the police and used it to fulfil their agenda including soft approach towards separatists and terror sympathisers. J&K Bank will be under the full control of the Central Government and RBI. Bank which acted as a “Kamdhenu” for the local parties will no more be at their beck and call thus drying up a source of personal financing and conduit to terror financing. Centre will now have the power to also declare financial emergency under Article 360 in the two UTs.\nThe new assembly will have a term of 5 years like the rest of the country. It would have 107 members with 24 seats frozen for POJK. LG will have powers to nominate two female members as existing. The four existing members to Rajya Sabha will continue to be the sitting members from the current J&K. As far as Lok Sabha is concerned J&K UT will have 5 members while one will represent the Ladakh UT. Union Government has also proposed fresh delimitation of J&K Assembly. As far as MPs are concerned fresh delimitation is not permitted till the next census after 2026. An increase of 7 seats, 114 from 107 has been proposed and the delimitation will be based on 2011 census. The 2011 census is fraught with irregularities with the entire floating tribal population shown in Kashmir as well as a population of 2 lakh Kashmiri Pandits. Nonetheless, political reservation for the tribal is a welcome step.\nWith this reorganisation, the people would expect good governance, of which they were deprived by the successive elected governments in the past, and end to rampant corruption. With direct monitoring by the Central government, the scope and pace of development will undergo a change and external investments will generate avenues for employment. Hopefully, the region will get better medical and health facilities and the need for its citizens and state of art super specialty hospitals will be functional here as well.\nAs far as the security environment is concerned, the new system will deal with anti-national, separatist and soft –separatist forces with an iron hand with policy of appeasement becoming a thing of the past. Pak sponsored terror will continue to be a cause of worry. It would not be easy for Pakistan to continue with its evil intent for very long. When lasting peace returns and situation becomes normal, there is a hope that the UT may once again get back the status of a state.\nThe move has evoked little response from governments across the world except Pakistan. The response of USA and other P5 powers has been very positive. The noise being made by Pakistan is on the expected lines. Pakistan is worried about the next move of the Modi government which is likely to be its claim on POJK (which the Defence Minister, Mr Rajnath Singh has said, will be the only point of discussion henceforth). Pakistan’s criticism of bifurcation of J&K holds no water because of what it did in 1970 wherein it carved out a separate territory of “Northern Areas” from its occupied territory of J&K and made it a federally administered area. In 2009, it was renamed as Gilgit-Baltistan and is now planning to make it a province of Pakistan. Even Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) has maintained silence rather than supporting Pakistan. China, which lays claim to parts of Ladakh had tried to raise the issue at the UNSC but without any substance or support.\nThe detractors have been the ones, who have lost their “kingdom”; the likes of the Farookh, Omar, Mehbooba, the Hurriyat … the ones who would line their pockets of the dole that India pushed for peace in J&K.\nAnd most importantly, the stature of India, across the globe would emerge as a decisive, determined, self sufficient country. This, coupled with the Chandrayaan II, would project India as a nation capable of holding its own, a nation you cannot mess with.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Ever heard of an ancient conflict called The Trojan War? Quite a story, really. And then there's Homer's epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, telling the tale in forty-eight books and tens of thousands of lines of dactylic hexameter...all of which focus on less than one year of the decade-long conflict, and the years Odysseus spent lost at sea afterwards.\nSomething's missing — namely, the first nine years of the war, the actual end of the war, and associated myths. Surely they weren't just floating about in the Oral Tradition until some ancient tragedians got hold of them?\nAs it happens, they weren't. It turns out that the The Iliad and the The Odyssey were not the only epics which pulled together the tales of the Trojan War. In fact, there were eight:\nWe've lost every one of the above except for Homer's epics. Sorry.\nBut yet we still know of them. References to and quotations from the lost epics have survived in fragments. By an incredible stroke of luck, we have a work titled the Chrestomathy by an unknown Proclus, which actually summarizes the events that take place in each epic.\nThanks to these sources, we know that the epics covered everything from the marriage of Peleus and Thetis to Odysseus's death. Modern novelizations of the Trojan Cycle include The Song of Troy by Colleen McCullough (who is perhaps most famous for the Masters of Rome series) and The War at Troy and Return from Troy, both by Lindsay Clarke.\nSo without further ado, for your perusal, the six lost works of the Trojan Cycle:\nThe odd title has absolutely nothing to do with Troynote , and instead suggests that the epic came from Cyprus. Like the following epics, its author is unknown. It is believed to have been written sometime in the sixth century BC.\nThe Cypria (Κύπρια) opens with Zeus discussing the Trojan War, which has not yet occurred. This seems to refer to the myth that Zeus planned the Theban and Trojan Wars in order to relieve the earth of an unsustainable population.\nSo he encourages events — Strife's interruption at Peleus and Thetis's wedding, the Judgement of Paris — to lead to the Trojan War. The Cypria then follows the abduction of Helen and the Achaeans' haphazard attempt to come together and attack Troy.\nThey get lost, attack the wrong place, and are scattered by a storm. When they finally reconvene, Agamemnon annoys Artemis and is forced to sacrifice his daughter to her (except the goddess relents and whisks her away instead).\nAt first this second attempt to reach Troy doesn't go well: a warrior, Philoctetes, is bitten by a water snake and left behind on Lemnos because his comrades can't stand the stench of his wounds. So much for No One Gets Left Behind. But eventually the Achaeans do make it to Troy, and the Cypria follows the events of the war up until the last year, which is then related in the Iliad and following epics.\nAncient fragments on the Cypria, including Proclus's summary, are avaliable in English here.\nThe Cypria likely provided examples of:\n- The Alliance: The Achaeans, thanks to the pact Helen's suitors swore. The Trojans are quick to call upon their own allies, as well.\n- Apple of Discord: The golden apple Strife uses to cause, well, strife, inscribed with the word \"καλλίστῃ\" (\"for the fairest\").\n- Arranged Marriage: Iphigenia is lured to Aulis with the lie that she is to be married to Achilles.\n- Because Destiny Says So: Both Helenus and Cassandra prophesied some amount of what would happen from the very start. This foreknowledge does not help the Trojans in any way.\n- Blasphemous Boast: Agamemnon's claim after killing a deer. See Disproportionate Retribution, below.\n- The Cassandra: Obviously.\n- Cassandra Truth: It seems the Trojans don't pay much mind to what Helenus or Cassandra warn, as they accept Paris and Helen back and settle down to wait out the siege...\n- Depopulation Bomb: The Trojan War itself. Protesilaus is just the beginning.\n- Disproportionate Retribution: Agamemnon claims to surpass Artemis; she forces him to sacrifice his daughter. Perfectly reasonable, right?\n- Divine Date: Peleus's marriage to Thetis.\n- Human Sacrifice: Artemis demands that Agamemnon sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, before she allows the Achaeans to sail to Troy. (Then she changes her mind and snatches her away to Tauris.)\n- Immortality: Either only Polydeuces is immortal, or he and Castor share their immortality.\n- Living MacGuffin: Helen.\n- Loophole Abuse: Cinyras promises to send fifty ships to aid the Achaeans. Forty-nine of the ones he sends are made out of clay.\n- Love Goddess: Aphrodite.\n- Love Makes You Crazy: Helen and Paris.\n- Obfuscating Insanity: Odysseus fakes insanity to try to get out of taking part in the Trojan War, but is found out by Palamedes.\n- Plunder: The Achaeans attack the surrounding countryside during the siege.\n- Prequel: It is believed that the epic was composed after the The Iliad.\n- Red Shirt: Protesilaus, the first to die at Troy.\n- RevengeSVP: Eris doesn't take not being invited to the wedding well.\n- Sacred Hospitality: Paris takes advantage of Menelaus's hospitality to steal most of his property and his wife, Helen.\n- World's Most Beautiful Woman: Helen again. Also, in the Judgement of Paris, he is to decide which of the three goddesses is the fairest.\n- Would Not Shoot a Civilian: Averted. The Achaeans are quick to raze the surrounding countryside once the siege begins.\n- Your Cheating Heart: The moment Menelaus leaves for Crete, Aphrodite brings Paris and Helen together.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Cypria:\n- Iphigenia, a lost play on the sacrifice of Iphigenia at Aulis.\n- Telephos, a lost play likely about Telephos, who was wounded and then healed by Achilles when the Achaeans made their first attempt to sail to Troy.\n- Iphigenia in Aulis, recounting how she was lured to Aulis and seemingly sacrificed.\n- Iphigenia in Tauris, following her life after Artemis whisks her away to Tauris.\n- Alexandros, possibly: the play has been lost, but it seems to have followed Paris's life and return to Troy before he set sail for Sparta.\n- Protesilaus, a lost play about the aftermath of Protesilaus's death. His wife, Laodamea, was allowed to converse with him briefly after he died, but he was forced to return to the Underworld. She then made an image of him to love, but when her father burned it, she committed suicide on the pyre.\n- Scyrians, a lost play concerned with Thetis's hiding Achilles among the daughters of the king of Scyros (knowing that if he went to Troy, he would die), and Odysseus's discovery of him there.\n- Telephos, a lost play and Euripides's version of the story of Telephos, also recounted by Aeschylus.\n- The Gathering of the Achaeans, which has also been lost and was probably a satyr play, concerned with the gathering of the Achaeans at Tenedos before setting sail for Troy.\n- Alexandros, a lost play probably similar to Euripides's Alexandros, focused on Paris's childhood and his recognition as a son of Priam.\n- Judgement, yet another lost play, in this case a satyr play on the Judgement of Paris.\n- Odysseus, a lost play about Odysseus's feigned madness and his discovery by Palamedes.\n- Palamedes, a lost play apparently following the aftermath of Palamedes's death (who had tricked Odysseus into revealing his fake madness so that he would fight at Troy).\n- The Shepherds, also lost and thought to have been a satyr play. It followed the Achaeans' arrival at Troy and the death of Protesilaus and Kyknos.\n- Troilos, a lost play on the death of Troilos by Achilles.\nThe Aethiopis (Αἰθιοπίς) follows after the events of the Iliad, bringing in numerous new Trojan allies to even things out after Hector's death. It seems to have been written sometime in the seventh century BC, but uncertainty remains.\nPenthesilea, an Amazon and a daughter of Ares, is the first to arrive to aid Troy. She kills countless Achaeans until Achilles bests her. Achilles then strikes and kills a Achaean soldier, Thersites, for jeering at him about an alleged love for the Amazon.\nThe Trojans gain another ally with the arrival of Memnon and the Ethiopians. Thetis prophesies to Achilles about a battle with Memnon, who is also of Divine Parentage (the son of Eos, the Dawn) and bears armour crafted by Hephestus.\nAchilles successfully kills Memnon and puts the Trojans to flight, chasing them into the city where he is finally killed by Paris and Apollo.\nThe Achaeans and Trojans then proceed to fight over his body, and Ajax manages to get it back to the Achaean ships, where Thetis arrives with the Muses and the Nereids to lament his death. The funeral games are played, and the epic ends with a quarrel between Ajax and Odysseus over the arms of Achilles.\nAncient fragments on the Aethiopis, including Proclus's summary, are avaliable in English here.\nThe Aethiopis likely provided examples of:\n- Action Girl: Penthesilea, the Amazon and daughter of the war god, who slaughters the Achaeans unchecked until Achilles slays her.\n- Antagonist Title: Aethiopis refers to the Ethiopians, newly arrived Trojan allies whom Memnon leads.\n- Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: Achilles takes out both Penthesilea and Memnon, only to meet his death by Apollo shortly afterwards.\n- The Cavalry: The new Trojan allies.\n- Custom Uniform: Like the armour Achilles gets in the Iliad, Memnon's armour is also crafted by Hephestus.\n- Curb-Stomp Battle: Carefully averted with the introduction of new Trojan allies such as Penthesilea and Memnon. Otherwise, considering the Trojans lost thier greatest defender in the Iliad, the remainder of the war would have been this.\n- Death Is Dramatic: Chasing the entire Trojan army into the city, taken down by Paris only with the help of Apollo? Achilles is just that badass.\n- Divine Parentage: Multiple characters, notably Achilles and the new Trojan allies, Penthesilea and Memnon.\n- Doomed by Canon: Coming to Troy, Achilles was doomed from the start. His life was prophesied to go one of two ways: he would either live a long, uneventful life, or he would die a young, glorious hero at Troy.\n- Due to the Dead: Once Achilles falls, battle rages so that the Achaeans can recover his body. His funeral is followed with the customary funeral games.\n- Dying Moment of Awesome: Achilles, while chasing the entire Trojan army into the city.\n- Either/Or Prophecy: Achilles's is fulfilled here. He's Doomed by Canon.\n- Ending Memorial Service: The epic ends with the funeral games of Achilles.\n- Immortality: Memnon's mother, Eos, convinces Zeus to grant him immortality after his death.\n- I Love the Dead: Achilles apparently falls in love with Penthesilea after killing her and removing her helm. He kills Thersites for mocking him about it.\n- Invincible Hero: Up until this point, Achilles was this. It takes Apollo to help bring him down.\n- Marked to Die: It's mentioned twice in the Iliad that Achilles would be killed by Apollo, and the summary of the Aethiopis mentions that Thetis prophesied something regarding his battle with Memnon to her son.\n- Meaningful Funeral: Thetis arrives with the Muses and the other Nereids when the Achaeans bring Achilles's body back to the ships.\n- No One Gets Left Behind: The Achaeans fight ferociously to recover Achilles's body.\n- Not So Invincible After All: Achilles.\n- One-Man Army: Achilles. Penthesilea and Memnon also fit until they're killed.\n- Storming the Castle: After killing Memnon, Achilles puts the entire Trojan army to flight, and pursues them into the city.\n- Supernatural Aid: Apollo aids Paris in killing Achilles.\n- Too Powerful to Live: Achilles again, a non-antagonist example.\n- Worthy Opponent: Memnon to Achilles.\n- Would Hit a Girl: The Achaeans kill Amazons the same as everyone else.\n- Your Days Are Numbered: And Achilles knew it.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Aethiopis:\n- Memnon, a lost play about Memnon's arrival to aid the Trojans, whom Achilles kills. This leads to Achilles's own death at the hands of Apollo and Paris.\n- Psychostasia, another lost play on the weighing of souls between Achilles and Memnon.\n- The Award of the Arms, a lost play on the contest for the arms of Achilles after his death. Also possibly the first of a trilogy concerned with Ajax's maddness.\n- Part of Ovid's Metamorphoses, Book XII of which included the death of Achilles.\n- Led Zeppelin's Achilles Last Stand\nThe Little Iliad (Ἰλιὰς μικρά) follows, dealing with the question of how the Achaeans will take Troy now that Achilles is dead. Similarly to the Aethiopis, it seems to have been written sometime in the seventh century BC.\nWith the funeral games of Achilles ended, his armour is given to Odysseus according to Athena's wish. Ajax, who perhaps justly feels he deserved to receive the armour, is enraged by this. Athena drives him insane so that he attacks the Achaeans' livestock rather than the Achaean leaders themselves, and he eventually commits suicide, leaving the Achaean army short two powerful warriors instead of one.\nOdysseus then captures the Trojan seer Helenus, who prophesies what they must do in order to capture Troy. The Achaeans do as he says, sending Diomedes to bring Philoctetes back, whom they abandoned nine or so years ago during the expedition to Troy. Somehow Philoctetes is convinced to rejoin them, where his wound is finally healed. The warrior is quick to kill Paris once he is brought to Troy, and Deiphobus, another prince of Troy, marries Helen.\nOdysseus, meanwhile, goes to Scyros where Achilles had fathered Neoptolemus after the Achaean fleet was scattered on its first journey. He brings the boy to Troy and gives him his father's armour, and Neoptolemus sees the ghost of Achilles. Neoptolemus slays another newly arrived Trojan ally, Eurypylus, the son of Telephos.\nBecause the Achaeans still can't get into the city, Athena inspires Epeios to construct the Trojan Horse. A disguised Odysseus sneaks into Troy to gather information and encounters Helen, who does not alert the Trojans but rather agrees with Odysseus for the Achaeans to take Troy.\nOdysseus kills more Trojans on his way out, and then he and Diomedes carry out Helenus's prophecy by stealing the Palladion, a statue of Athena upon which Troy's safety depended.\nThe Trojans believe they are finally freed of the years of war, and they take the Trojan Horse into the city —dismantling part of their wall to do so!— and begin to celebrate.\nProclus's summary ends here, but other works say that the Little Iliad ended with an account of the sack, with slight differences from the account given in the Sack of Ilion.\nAncient fragments on the Little Iliad, including Proclus's summary, are avaliable in English here.\nThe Little Iliad likely provided examples of:\n- Arranged Marriage: Helen's marriage to Deiphobus was this.\n- Bolivian Army Cliffhanger: According to Proclus's summary, the epic ends with the Trojan guard down and the Achaeans poised to ravage the city.\n- Because Destiny Says So: Why the Achaeans need to find Neoptolemus and Philoctetes, and capture the Palladion.\n- The Chosen One: It's prophesied that Troy won't fall to Greece without the aid of Neoptolemus and Philoctetes.\n- Continuity Snarl: The sack narrated in this epic is slightly different from the one in the Sack of Ilion. Aeneas, for instance, is captured by the Achaeans and taken by Neoptolemus, and the son of Achilles is the one to kill Astyanax.\n- Darkest Hour: The people of Troy have entered theirs.\n- Dead Person Conversation: When Neoptolemus receives Achilles's armour, he sees the ghost of his father.\n- Dramatic Irony: Oh so much.\n- Driven to Suicide: Ajax.\n- Guile Hero: Odysseus.\n- Hollywood Healing: Philoctetes has been wounded for nine years. He arrives at Troy and suddenly, he's healed. Though this is justified since the ones doing the healing are children of Asclepius, the dude whose healing prowess is so good he can literally bring back the dead.\n- Insane Equals Violent: Ajax, who briefly goes mad and attacks the Achaeans' plundered flock.\n- The Infiltration: Odysseus's recon of Troy.\n- I Surrender, Suckers: The Achaeans' feigned retreat.\n- Made a Slave: Many after the sack, such as Hecuba and Andromache.\n- The Medic: Machaon, who successfully heals Philoctetes's nine-year-old wound. Justified, since Machaon is the son of Asclepius the God of Healing.\n- No One Gets Left Behind: They come back for Philoctetes! So it's all good, right?\n- One Sided Battle: Probably the case when the Achaeans emerge from the Trojan Horse.\n- Playing Both Sides: Helen seems to be doing this. When she realises the Achaeans are going to take the city, she's perfectly happy to let them.\n- Rape, Pillage, and Burn: The sack of Troy.\n- Red Shirt: Probably plenty of people, particularly the Trojans Odysseus slays on his way out of Troy.\n- Right Under Their Noses: When Odysseus sneaks into Troy.\n- Romancing the Widow: When Paris is killed, the Trojans don't conclude that maybe they should finally return Helen. Nope; Paris's brother, Deiphobus, marries her instead.\n- Schmuck Bait: The Trojan Horse, built tall enough that the Trojans need to dismantle part of their wall if they want to get it into the city.\n- Seers: Helenus.\n- Sniper Duel: Occurs between Philoctetes and Paris. Philoctetes wins, mortally wounding Paris with his Hydra venom arrows.\n- Sole Survivor: A surviving quotation from the epic specifies that Aeneas was spared (odd considering that the Achaeans slew all the men of Troy) and was taken by Neoptolemus.\n- Starts with a Suicide: Namely, Ajax's.\n- Take Up My Sword: Neoptolemus is given Achilles's armour and brought to aid the Achaeans against Troy.\n- Trojan Horse\n- Turn Coat: It seems Helen couldn't care less about Troy after Paris is killed.\n- What Happened to the Mouse?: What ever happened to Philoctetes? Remember him, from the Cypris? Apparently he's just been chilling on Lemnos for nine years, with a wound that refuses to heal...\n- Would Hurt a Child: A quotation from the epic describes Neoptolemus throwing Hector's child, Astyanax, from the walls.\n- You Killed My Father: Paris killed Achilles (with Apollo's help). Neoptolemus arrives at Troy and nearly immediately kills Paris.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Little Iliad:\n- Philoctetes, a lost play about the Achaeans' attempt to get Philoctetes to Troy.\n- The Phrygian Women, a lost play seemingly part of a trilogy about Ajax's madness.\n- The Salaminian Women, a lost play and possibly the third part of a trilogy about Ajax's madness and suicide.\n- Epeios, a lost play likely focused on Epeios, the architect of the Trojan horse.\n- Philoctetes, a lost play (see Aeschylus's version).\n- Philoctetes, yet another version of the story also done by Aeschylus and Euripides.\n- Ajax, a tragedy about the madness of Ajax after Achilles's armour is awarded to Odysseus rather than him, and his subsequent suicide.\n- Lacaenae, a lost play believed to have followed the theft of the Palladium by Diomedes and Odysseus.\n- Part of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Book XIII includes the debate over Achilles's arms and Ajax's subsequent death.\nNext comes the Sack of Ilion (Ἰλίου πέρσις), as Troy finally falls to the Achaeans. This epic also seems to have been composed in the seventh century BC, supposedly by the same writer as the Aethiopis.\nThe Trojans are puzzled by the giant horse left parked outside the city, and the epic starts with their debate as to what they should do with it. Some want to push it off a cliff, others to burn it, while a third group believe it is an object sacred to Athena.\nThis third group convinces the others to bring the horse into the city, and the Trojans then celebrate the end of ten years of siege.\nThe Trojans celebrate into the night, and when the city is finally quiet, the Achaean Sinon signals the others with firebrands. The fleet sails back from Tenedos, the warriors inside the Trojan Horse are let loose, and the Achaeans fall upon the city.\nCountless Trojans are killed and the Achaeans take hold of the city. The king of Troy, Priam, takes refuge at the altar of Zeus but is slain by Neoptolemus, while Menelaus kills Deiphobus and takes Helen back to the ships.\nWhen Ajaxnote tears Cassandra from the altar of Athena, he harms Athena's image. For this, the other Achaeans intend to stone him, but he escapes their judgement by also taking refuge at her altar.\nIn the aftermath, Odysseus kills Astyanax, Neoptolemus receives Andromache as his war prize, and the remainder of the spoils are divided up. Troy is burned and Polyxena, a daughter of Hecuba, is sacrificed at the tomb of Achilles.\nAncient fragments on the Sack of Ilion, including Proclus's summary, are available in English here.\nThe Sack of Ilion likely provided examples of:\n- Continuity Snarl: Here Aeneas flees Troy after the ominous death of Laocoon, compared to his capture in the Little Iliad. Astyanax is also killed by Odysseus rather than Neoptolemus.\n- Darkest Hour: This is Troy's.\n- Death of the Hypotenuse: When recovering Helen, Menelaus slays Deiphobus.\n- Dramatic Irony: While the Trojans debate what to do with the horse.\n- Due to the Dead: It seems Achilles demanded Human Sacrifice.\n- Exactly What It Says on the Tin\n- Final Battle: The culmination of ten years of war: the Achaeans are finally within the city and the Trojans are fighting for survival. This is the end.\n- Human Sacrifice: The sacrifice of Polyxena at the tomb of Achilles.\n- Infant Immortality: Completely averted.\n- Kill 'Em All: The confused Trojans are slaughtered.\n- Last Stand\n- Libation for the Dead\n- Made a Slave: Numerous Trojan women, Hecuba and Andromache in particular.\n- The Medic: Machaon is mentioned in a fragment, though the Little Iliad had him killed in its narrative.\n- One Sided Battle: The Achaeans crept in in the dark of night, after the Trojans had celebrated their release and fallen asleep. They didn't stand a chance.\n- Rape, Pillage, and Burn\n- Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Aeneas doesn't stay long after the death of Laocoon, and flees the city.\n- Seers: Cassandra.\n- Storming the Castle: And the Achaeans finally penetrate inside the city.\n- Watching Troy Burn: Those who survived the attack by the Achaeans see their city looted and burned.\n- Would Hurt a Child: Odysseus, who kills Astyanax.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Sack of Ilion:\n- Hecuba, a tragedy set after the fall of Troy, when Hecuba discovers her son, Polydorus's, death and that Polyxena is to be sacrificed at Achilles's tomb.\n- The Trojan Women, also set after the fall, which focuses on the death of Astyanax and the allotment of captives to the Achaean warriors.\n- Laocoon, a lost play about the death of the priest of Apollo.\n- Ajax the Locrian, a lost play concerned with Ajax, who has dragged off Cassandra and harmed the image of Athena.\n- Part of Ovid's Metamorphoses: The fall of Troy and the aftermath is detailed in part of Book XIII.\n- The Aeneid by Virgil is basically a Fan Fic of the whole cycle, but it starts with the Trojans' debate over what to do with the Horse and follows Aeneas after he leaves.\nSo The Trojan War has come to an end. The next epic in the cycle, the Returns (Νόστοι), deals with the Achaeans' respective returns home. Exactly when the epic was completed is very uncertain; it is often dated sometime in the seventh or sixth century BC.\nAs the Achaeans prepare to set sail, Athena causes Agamemnon and Menelaus to argue about the coming voyage. Agamemnon chooses to wait a few days in order to appease the goddess's anger (who did not approve of the Achaeans' impious behavior during the sack of Troy), while Diomedes and Nestor set out and safely reach their homelands.\nMenelaus, the next to set sail, is not as lucky: he ends up in Egypt (most definitely not Sparta by any stretch of the imagination) with only five ships, as the remainder were destroyed during the voyage.\nOther Achaeans — Calchas, Leonteus, and Polypoites — try a land route and avoid the dangers at sea. Calchas dies at Colophon and is buried there.\nAgamemnon, feeling he has postponed his journey enough, is about to set out when he encounters Achilles, who fortells what will occur and tries to stop them. His group continues regardless and meets with a storm at sea, losing many ships.\nThe storm was sent by Zeus at the request of Athena, who finally punishes Ajax for his actions in the Sack of Ilion. His ship is among those lost in the storm, and he is killed on the Kapherian rocks.\nNeoptolemus is advised by his divine grandmother, Thetis, to make his way home by land. His journey is uneventful, and he briefly encounters the unlucky Odysseus in Maronea. The son of Achilles finally comes to Molossia, a land he and his descendants come to rule.\nBoth Menelaus and Agamemnon do finally reach their homes, but Agamemnon is murdered by his wife, Clytaemestra, and her lover Aegisthus. His son, Orestes, eventually returns to his home and avenges his father's murder by killing his mother and her lover.\nMeanwhile, Odysseus's return home is chronicled in the following epic, The Odyssey.\nAncient fragments on the Returns, including Proclus's summary, are avaliable in English here.\nThe Returns likely provided examples of:\n- Big, Screwed-Up Family: Agamemnon's. Aegisthus is his cousin.\n- Bolt of Divine Retribution: Athena, being rather displeased with Ajax, asks Zeus to send a storm to destroy him. Zeus obliges.\n- Boring Return Journey: Very averted for several important Achaeans.\n- The Cassandra: Cassandra, who was given to Agamemnon as a slave, is also killed.\n- Cycle of Revenge: Clytaemestra is unhappy with Agamemnon for (seemingly) sacrificing their daughter, Iphigenia. Orestes takes revenge for his father by killing Clytaemestra.\n- Dead Person Conversation: Death hasn't stopped Achilles from chatting with people yet. This is the third epic in a row, and he died way back in the Aethiopis.\n- Exactly What It Says on the Tin\n- Home Sweet Home: At least some of them reach it.\n- The Homeward Journey: Naturally.\n- Hostile Weather: Athena gets Zeus to send a storm after the Achaeans.\n- Karmic Death: The Achaeans couldn't kill Ajax, since he took refuge at the temple of Athena. Athena, however, has no qualms about punishing him.\n- Murder the Hypotenuse: Clytaemestra and her lover's murder of Agamemnon.\n- No Sense of Direction: Menelaus somehow ends up in Egypt.\n- Red Shirt: All the random Achaeans killed in the storms at sea.\n- Revenge: Athena taking revenge on Ajax, Clytaemestra taking revenge on Agamemnon, Orestes taking revenge on Clytaemestra, etc.\n- Rightful King Returns: A lot of important Achaeans were kings, after all.\n- Seers: Calchas, Cassandra. Achilles's ghost also warns of things to come.\n- Self-Made Orphan: Orestes, who kills his mother.\n- The Underworld: Several fragments and references seem to imply that there was some passage dealing with Hades, perhaps showing Agamemnon and the others killed arriving in Hades (as the suitors are shown in The Odyssey).\n- You Can't Go Home Again: For some of the Achaeans, notably Ajax. Many others experience difficult homecomings.\n- You Killed My Father: So Orestes kills his mother.\n- Your Cheating Heart: Agamemnon's wife, Clytaemestra.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Returns:\n- Agamemnon, a tragedy concerned with the homecoming of the eponymous character and his murder there. The first of Aeschylus's trilogy, The Oresteia.\n- The Libation Bearers, dealing with the reunion of Orestes and his sister Electra, and their avenging of their father. Also the second tragedy of the Oresteia.\n- Electra, a tragedy telling another version of the myth behind Aeschylus's Libation Bearers.\n- Helen, a tragedy set during the time Menelaus spends in Egypt. It follows an alternate tradition, where the gods for some reason sent the real Helen to Egypt, and The Trojan War was fought over a phantom (eidolon in Greek).\n- Electra, yet another version of the story.\nAt this point, we've pretty much wrapped up everything regarding the actual Trojan War. The Telegony (Τηλεγόνεια) follows The Odyssey and deals with the legends about the end of Odysseus's life. It was likely composed in the sixth century BC.\nThe epic begins where The Odyssey left off, and starts with the suitors being buried by their families. After all those years of making his way back home, you would think that Odysseus would want to settle down in Ithaca again, set his kingdom in order, that sort of thing. He faked insanity to try to get out of leaving, after all!\nNope. He makes a few sacrifices and inspects his herds, then he takes off to the land of the Thesprotians. Admittedly, he's trying to fulfill a prophecy Tiresias made in The Odyssey in order to appease Poseidon.\nThe prophecy, however, did not require that he marry Callidice, the Thesprotian queen.\nSo Odysseus stays in Thesprotia, has a son, and fights a war there. He leads the Thesprotian forces against the Bryges, but his forces are turned back by Ares until Athena combats the war god. The two are calmed by Apollo.\nWho knows what Penelope is up to during all this? Because Odysseus is, after all, in Thesprotia for so long that when Callidice dies and he returns to Ithaca, his son, Polypoites, is old enough to rule the kingdom.\nMeanwhile, yet another child of Odysseus exists. Telegonus is the child of the warrior and Circe, and is raised by his mother until he goes out in search of his father. The boy comes to Ithaca but is unaware of where he is, and begins attacking the island.\nOdysseus comes out to defend Ithaca and the two fight, neither aware of their relation. Eventually Telegonus slays his father, and only afterwards does he realise his mistake. The boy then brings Odysseus's body, Penelope, and Telemachus to Circe.\nHer solution is to make Penelope and Telemachus immortal. The enchantress then marries Telemachus while Telegonus marries Penelope. And everyone lives happily ever after. Except Odysseus.\nAncient fragments on the Telegony, including Proclus's summary, are avaliable in English here\nThe Telegony likely provided examples of:\n- Abdicate the Throne: Odysseus leaves Thesprotia to Polypoites after the queen dies. Admittedly, he just goes right back to being king in Ithaca.\n- Antagonist Title: Telegonus could be considered an antagonist of sorts, as he ends up killing his father.\n- Blade on a Stick: Telegonus's weapon... except it's a sting ray barb, not just a blade.\n- Directionless Driver: Telegonus apparently has no idea where he's going.\n- Divine Parentage: Telegonus, the son of Circe.\n- Double Standard\n- Heroic Bastard: The epic is named for Telegonus, after all.\n- Immortality: Telemachus and Penelope recieve it.\n- I Will Wait for You: We can only assume this is what Penelope did as Odysseus disappeared for however many years again.\n- Murder by Mistake: Telegonus didn't know the island he was plundering was his father's, after all! It was all just a huge misunderstanding.\n- Oedipus Complex: Telegonus does end up killing his father, after all.\n- Plunder: What Telegonus is up to when he's not actively looking for his father. This doesn't end well.\n- Romancing the Widow: Telegonus also marries his father's wife.\n- Self-Made Orphan: Accidentally.\n- Tangled Family Tree: By the end of the epic, Telegonus and Telemachus are both each other's stepfathers and stepsons...\n- And Circe and Penelope are both each other's mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, stepmothers and stepdaughters.\n- Tell Me About My Father: What sets Telegonus off in search of Odysseus in the first place.\n- You Can't Fight Fate:\n- Odysseus was fated to die a mild death from the sea... Telegonus sails in and kills him with a sting ray spear. It's not exactly mild, though...\n- The prophecy in question could just as easily be translated as away from the sea. It also says he will die at an old age, surrounded by a prosperous people, which can't really be said about dying from a stingray spear on the beach. This, along with all the other contradictory details, has led quite a few scholars (both ancient and modern) to see the Telegony as a case of Adaptation Decay.\nWorks derived from the myths of the Telegony:\n- Odysseus Acanthoplex, a lost play where Odysseus tries to avert fate by banishing Telemachus after learning he would be killed by his son. It doesn't work.\nTropes provided by the Trojan Cycle as a whole:\n- Adaptation Distillation: There were likely varying versions of these stories in the Oral Tradition. Writing them down distilled them into the versions remaining today (though a lot of variety still exists).\n- Because Destiny Says So: Comes up a lot.\n- The Dead Have Names: Considering what we know of The Iliad and The Odyssey, this was likely true throughout the Trojan Cycle.\n- Divine Parentage: A lot of the characters.\n- Family-Unfriendly Death: A lot.\n- Götterdämmerung: In the sense that the Trojan War pretty much marked the end of an age of demigods and heroes.\n- Grey and Gray Morality\n- Hero Antagonist: Hector, Penthesilea, Memnon... many Trojan heroes and allies, really.\n- Heroic Lineage: Naturally.\n- Loads and Loads of Characters\n- Narrative Poem: Just like The Iliad and The Odyssey, they're all written in dactylic hexameter. Kinda comes with the territory, being epics.\n- Oral Tradition: Where these myths came from.\n- Rated M for Manly\n- Red Shirt: Probably a huge number of figures, Achaeans and Trojans alike.\n- Royals Who Actually Do Something: The major characters are often royalty: Menelaus, the king of Sparta; Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae; Odysseus, the king of Ithaca; Hector, the prince of Troy; Penthesilea, the queen of the Amazons; Memnon, the king of the Ethiopians; etc.\n- The Siege: Naturally.\n- Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Troy was a real city and was actually destroyed and rebuilt several times... mainly because it was very rich and its neighbors wanted some plunder.\n- Warrior Prince: Multiple, mainly the sons of Priam and notably Hector, a prince of Troy and its greatest defender.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "What kind of shoes do archaeologists wear?\nLike I said before, archaeologists have needs. We walk and dig, which means we need a boot that is comfortable and has a durable shank. Army and mountaineering boots are great, but they’re heavy and take some time to break in.\nWhat do archaeologists actually wear?\nSo what exactly does a field archaeologist look like? For most people, the term “archaeologist” conjures up the image of a stubbly man wearing a button-down shirt with pockets, chinos, a leather jacket, a wide-brimmed hat, a saddle-bag, a bull-whip, and a holster with revolver.\nWhat do you wear to an excavation?\nPacking for Projects – essentials\n- Functional shirt / long sleeved T-shirt and trousers (military or Cargo are best)\n- Well-treaded boots (steel toe-capped optional) — check with the project.\n- Waterproof jacket and trousers.\n- Hat or Bandana.\n- Socks and underwear.\nWhy do archaeologists wear hats?\nProtect the head is an ancient custom if we think that as early as the Neolithic Age man used large straw hats to protect from the sun. Later, various types of hats would be adopted to protect the head from too much cold weather as well as in clashes.\nWhat tools are used by archaeologists?\nShovels, trowels, spades, brushes, sieves, and buckets are some of the more obvious or common tools that an archaeologist may carry with them to most digs.\nWhat are archaeologists?\nArchaeology is the study of the ancient and recent human past through material remains. Archaeologists might study the million-year-old fossils of our earliest human ancestors in Africa. … Archaeology analyzes the physical remains of the past in pursuit of a broad and comprehensive understanding of human culture.\nWhat do archaeologists do?\nArchaeologists study past human activity by excavating, dating and interpreting objects and sites of historical interest. They implement excavation projects, informally known as digs, preserve archaelogical remains and collect data that informs their understanding of the past.\nWhy do archaeologists in Egypt wear scarves?\nA shemagh is a great help in an arid climate. It helps keep the sun off your neck and head and the dust and sand out of your lungs.\nWhat should I bring to Archaeology field school?\nQuality footwear– Hiking boots or tennis shoes, you’re not going to want to share these. Pants– Protect stuff you care about by using non-precious pants in the field. Shirts– Archaeology destroys clothing. Bring functional shirts you won’t mind losing.\nHow do you prepare for an archaeological dig?\nCheck into necessary vaccinations and have thorough physical and dental examinations. Identify your need for health and travel insurance. Some expeditions provide the former; you should know, however, what facilities will be available in the event that you require medical treatment.\nWhat is a dig season?\nDigging is slow, and most sites are big – so a dig can take many seasons. A single season can be anywhere from one week to a couple of months; it’s rare for an excavation season to last longer than that. … Even with very long-term projects, however, there is always a lot left un-excavated.\nHow do you get archaeologist’s hat in Terraria?\nThe Archaeologist’s Hat is a Vanity Item that is dropped by Doctor Bones. It’s the head slot component of the Archaeologist’s Outfit.\nDo archeologists wear gloves?\nIs it necessary to use gloves to handle artefacts during our glacial archaeological fieldwork? The answer to that is no, unless it is freezing, and we keep our gloves on for protection against the cold. We like to keep it simple in the field, as conditions can be rough.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "A total solar eclipse occurs once every year or two on average, but each is visible only from a narrow track covering less than 1% of Earth’s surface. The eclipse of August 1, 2008, was visible only from parts of the Arctic, Siberia, and central Asia. Nevertheless, thousands of enthusiasts traveled by land, air, and polar icebreaker for the chance to bask briefly in the silvery twilight glow of the Sun’s corona.\nThe main reason why this year's totality lasts so long is because the eclipse starts just a few hours after the Moon reaches perigee. At such a close distance, the Moon appears fully 8% larger than the Sun and casts a broader than usual shadow. At the point of greatest eclipse in the western Pacific, the path of totality is 258 km (161 miles) wide.\nThe umbra (dark central portion) of the lunar shadow first touches Earth at sunrise at 00:53 Universal Time in the Gulf of Khambhat off western India. The shadow takes just 8 minutes to cross India before spilling into northern Bangladesh and easternmost Nepal. A minute later the umbra engulfs most of Bhutan, while the eclipse duration on the central line crosses the 4-minute mark. The Sun’s altitude is 21°.The shadow then crosses northern Burma, a corner of Tibet, and China’s Yunnan province. Passing through the middle of Sichuan province, the eclipse track darkens the capital city of Chengdu (2 million inhabitants, 3.3 minutes of totality), Chongqing (4.1 million, 4 minutes), and Wuhan (9.7 million, 5.5 minutes). Traveling nearly due east, the shadow track encompasses the meandering course of the Yangtze River.\nNear the Pacific coast, Hangzhou's 4 million citizens experience a total eclipse lasting 5.3 minutes. The Sun’s altitude is now 55°. A minute later Shanghai, China’s largest city with 20 million people, plunges into totality for 5 minutes, though it is well north of the central line. This may be the most people that have ever been in the Moon’s shadow at once.\nAs it moves out over the East China Sea, the umbra sweeps over Japan’s Ryukyu Islands, then Iwo Jima and Kitaio Jima, before curving southeast across the Pacific. The instant of greatest eclipse occurs at 2:35:19 UT, when totality lasts longest: 6 minutes 39 seconds. This happens over open ocean with no land in sight.\nThe second half of the eclipse path crosses nothing but ocean and a few tiny islands and coral atolls among the Marshall Islands and Kiribati. The total eclipse finally ends at 4:18 UT, at sunset about 1,000 km northwest of Tahiti. The Moon’s shadow lifts off Earth and returns to space, after covering 0.7% of Earth’s surface in 3.4 hours.\nMonsoon climates and tropical breezes do not bode well for this eclipse in India and China. Along the entire track the season is humid, with frequent clouds and rain. But in some spots the statistics tilt just barely to the good side of 50-50.The dullest skies are on the slopes of the Himalayas, where, at Guwahati for instance, the chance of clouds exceeds 85%. Prospects improve in China: around 55% average cloud cover in July. Shanghai shows an average of 54% sunny.\nPollution in China will be a factor to consider for those who want to view or photograph the outer fringes of the corona. On sunny days the endemic brown haze is much less visible than in poorer weather; blue sky shines through. If skies are clear, or nearly so, even Shanghai’s pollution is unlikely to affect the spectacle. Wuhan offers cleaner skies at the expense of a few percentage points in the cloudiness odds and seconds in eclipse duration.\nCloud cover along the track reaches its minimum near Iwo Jima. Ships may be able to find a hole in the clouds, because most weather systems are relatively small and can be dodged with a little planning.\nBut not typhoons. July is the middle of typhoon season, and the likelihood of one in the eclipse track between Japan and the Philippines is probably close to 10%.\nFuture Total Eclipses\nOn July 11, 2010, this part of the world will be favored with its third total solar eclipse in as many years. The track is almost entirely over the South Pacific. Easter Island and southern Chile (at sunset) offer the only landfalls. And the South Pacific also hosts the next one, on November 13, 2012.\nA total solar eclipse won’t cross the Americas until August 21, 2017, when the Moon’s umbra will sweep from Oregon to South Carolina.\nAstronomer Fred Espenak (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) runs NASA's eclipse website and his own. He coauthored (with Mark Littmann and the late Ken Willcox) the newly published 3rd edition of Totality: Eclipses of the Sun.\nMeteorologist Jay Anderson (University of Manitoba) has created eclipse weather forecasts since 1979 and has journeyed worldwide to check his predictions in person.", "label": "No"}

Using a unique integrated design approach, we have demonstrated functional synergy between photochromic molecules and polymers in a fully 3D-printed device. Our approach expands the toolbox of advanced materials available to engineers developing devices for real-world problems,” explains Dr Sans.\nTo demonstrate their concept, the team developed a photoactive molecule that changes from colourless to blue when irradiated with light. The colour change can then be reversed by exposure to oxygen from the air.\nThe researchers then 3D-printed composite materials by combining the photoactive molecules with a tailor-made polymer, yielding a new material that can store information reversibly.\nDr Newton, said: “We can now take any molecules that change properties upon exposure to light and print them into composites with almost any shape or size. In theory, it would be possible to reversibly encode something quite complex like a QR code or a barcode, and then wipe the material clean, almost like cleaning a whiteboard with an eraser. While our devices currently operate using colour changes, this approach could be used to develop materials for energy storage and electronics.”\nThe research is supported by the Leverhulme Trust, the German Academic Exchange service (DAAD) and the University of Nottingham.\nAbout University of Nottingham\nThe University of Nottingham is a research-intensive university with a proud heritage, consistently ranked among the world’s top 100.

{"text": "Sick Bees – Part 18A: Colony Collapse Revisited\nIn my article on almond pollination last month I pointed out that beekeepers in the U.S. started experiencing increased colony mortality in the mid 2000’s. What made the headlines was an unusual form of sudden colony mortality eventually given the name “Colony Collapse Disorder” (CCD). But this season CCD has sort of fallen off the radar. So perhaps it’s time to look back at what we’ve learned.\nThe question is, has CCD now gone the way of previous cases of “Disappearing Disease”—episodes in which some disease caused bouts of sudden mortality, and then disappeared before anyone could figure out what caused it? A number of researchers suspected that CCD would do the same, following the typical progression of a pathogen-induced plague. The surprise was that it stuck around as long as it did.\nIf CCD is indeed caused by one or more novel virulent pathogens, we’d expect that pathogen’s virulence to be burning out by now. On the other hand, if CCD is caused by an extraneous environmental factor, such as cell phones, GMO’s, or some pesticide, we would not expect to see a change until that factor was removed from the environment.\nOr perhaps, CCD simply requires enough chilling of colonies to kick it into gear (figure 1):\nFigure 1. . The unusually warm winter may have contributed to better colony survival this year. These maps show winter temperature “departures from normal” for December, January, and February. Red areas experienced higher than normal temperatures; blue areas colder. Each color step indicates an additional 2°F deviation. Colony mortality is often related to weather patterns. Source http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/research/cag3/asos-feb2012-nocities.gif.\nPractical application: to minimize mortality, winter your colonies in the warmest possible locations—sunny southward slopes, out of cold pockets, or move them to warmer areas.\nI wish that I could have entitled this article “CCD in Retrospect,” but I’m still seeing some colonies suffering sudden collapse! This winter when I moved my strong hives to almond pollination, I left the dinks behind in my bee yards in the foothills. The apparent reason for many of these colonies being dinks is that they are fighting a virus or nosema infection, which they may eventually get the better of. I’ve learned that if you simply leave them to their ways, they will often dwindle down to a couple of frames of bees, and then either ramp up their antiviral response or gain the upper hand over nosema, and turn around, vibrantly recovering with the first pollen flows as though nothing had happened!\nI feel that in many cases in which the queen is blamed, the actual culprit is a virus or nosema infection of the workers, as these queens often show every indication of being able to lay vigorously, given a healthy cohort of foragers to bring home the bacon. In my neck of the woods, if the colony has “turned around” by late February, it will generally be fine. As it happened, late this February I enjoyed a visit by Bee Culture editor Kim Flottum, accompanied by photographer Kodua Galieti. I took them out to look at some of the recovering dinks (Fig. 2). Kodua snapped some photos, which she has generously granted me permission to use—see more of her photos at www.koduaphotography.com/.\nPractical application: I find that a low bee to brood ratio is a typical sign of a colony struggling with a virus or nosema infection—sick bees abandon the hive. Should the colony in the photo above manage to hatch out its brood before a cold snap, then it will then have a whole new crop of healthy young bees, and a good crack at complete recovery.\nUnfortunately, one of the dinks in the same yard told a different story (Fig. 3). It had also built up similarly to the colony pictured above, but then had a relapse during a two-day cold snap—cold snaps being a common precursor to sudden colony collapse. If the bees and brood get chilled, the colony may go into a rapid downhill spiral. I’ve previously described in detail the progression of colony collapse–see http://scientificbeekeeping.com/sick-bees-part-2-a-model-of-colony-collapse/.\nNote also the lack of stored nectar around the brood area—this is despite the fact that a nectar flow was on, and adjacent colonies were whitening comb. This is exactly what I observed when I inoculated colonies with IAPV—they would collapse hungry due to lack of foragers, even in the midst of plenty. Plus the bees in sick colonies seem to be unable to utilize honey stored in close proximity to the broodnest. Collapse can then come suddenly (Fig. 4) in the event of even a minor chill, although the sick bees leave the nest, rather than dying in the typical pathetic cluster indicative of starvation (Fig. 8).\nPractical application: sudden collapse can happen seemingly overnight. But it is, in my experience, preceded by a low bee to brood ratio and lack of nectar foraging, which are signs to be aware of. Sick colonies may or may not take syrup.\nThe queen, however, had not given up (Fig. 5). This is typical in colony collapse—the disease does not appear to be directly attributable to the queen. It’s just that the bees get sick and fly off to die!\nPractical application: In deadouts, check to see whether varroa/DWV were the culprits. Inspect the remnants of the broodnest for white guanine deposits on the cell “ceilings,” bees with deformed wings, and partially uncapped mature worker brood, often with deformed wings. However, DWV can also take down a colony with few of those signs present.\nI’d like to draw your attention to the snotty brood. The diseased brood generally matched the signs of EFB, but was not quite typical. Dr. Jeff Pettis now uses the catchy term “Idiopathic Brood Disease Syndrome” for this atypical sick brood, which means “we haven’t completely figured out what causes it yet”.\nSo this poor colony looked like it was going to make it, but then lost its battle with the pathogens. Note that this yard was in a pesticide-free area, and there was no sign of mites.\nRelative Risk: the ratio of the chance of a disease developing among members of a population exposed to a factor compared with a similar population not exposed to the factor.\nDr. Dennis vanEngelsdorp and co researchers determined the “relative risk” of several factors often associated with colony collapse. A factor with a high relative risk doesn’t necessarily mean that the factor will cause the collapse, but rather that it is associated with a higher incidence of collapse (for example cold weather has a high relative risk for colony mortality, even though it isn’t necessarily directly responsible for their death). Determining relative risk is like setting the odds for eventual collapse—a relative risk of 2 doubles the odds that the colony will die.\nPractical application: If snotty brood is present, the relative risk of that colony dying is nearly [redacted] times that of a colony without it.\nSorry, when I asked Dr. vanEngelsdorp how to cite the preliminary relative risk figures that he and Dr. Jeff Pettis presented at the major conventions this season, he asked me to hold off until they are more firm on the numbers—so I am respectfully deferring to his request. I find this line of research to be of great potential value to beekeepers, and I want to only publish accurate information!\nI’ve currently got a number of colonies with spotty brood and signs of “EFB-like” snotty brood. I’m familiar with the classic symptoms of EFB—curled, twisted young larvae with white tracheal tubes standing out against a yellowish background, slight sour odor, minor ropiness, and drying to a removable rubbery scale. I’d occasionally see EFB in springtime; especially when strong colonies were deprived of pollen due to rain, and then the disease would spontaneously disappear with the advent of a good pollen flow.\nBut nowadays I’m seeing a great deal of “atypical” EFB. It may be associated with mites and viruses, since the signs are similar to those seen in sick brood in colonies suffering from Parasitic Mite Syndrome (PMS), but I now see it in colonies with low mite levels!\nOne odd thing is the smell, since this dead brood gets really putrid stinky! The scientist who first identified the bacterium responsible for EFB was G.F. White (yes, the same guy who identified Nosema apis). Dr. White stated that EFB “is characterized by the death of the brood during its uncapped stage…In advanced cases the disease may be accompanied by an odor, but in the writer’s experience this never has been marked and never offensive” . But other bacteria are commonly associated with EFB; perhaps these are causing the differences in smell and appearance. An excellent page on the diagnosis of EFB (with color photographs) can be found at Extension.org .\nSo I sent samples off to the USDA Bee Diagnostic Lab, and wish to thank Sam and Bart for helpful discussion and a speedy turnaround so that I could make deadline for this article. The samples came back positive for EFB.\nIn the past several years, I’m seeing what appear to be two different forms of atypical EFB-like brood disease:\n- Larvae prior to propupal stage turning bright corn yellow, usually remaining in the “C” shape without much twisting. I’ve heard of this same symptom from many beekeepers across the country.\n- A greater proportion of older, rather than younger, sick larvae in the combs, many of them capped over, and having sunken, perforated cappings. These older larvae often turn flaccid without twisting, and eventually melt down into strongly putrid-smelling goo (but with a very different odor than AFB).\n- The dead capped brood may melt down into a dark watery pool, rather than the translucent-opaque, slightly ropy goop typical of EFB. The liquid also really stinks with a putrid, rather than sour, odor!\n- Capped pupae dying in the same colonies. EFB should not kill pupae , since the larva sheds its infected gut lining when it pupates. However, these pupae may be infected by something else, such as a virus—they look very much like pupae dying from DWV.\n- The disease does not necessarily go away with a pollen flow.\nPractical application: Some of these symptoms can be confused with those of AFB—I was surprised when I sent a very similar-looking sample to the lab last season and it came back positive for AFB! My quandary is that I wish to burn any AFB combs, whereas EFB responds well to the antibiotics oxytetracycline or tylosin (I hear anecdotally that OTC gives better control, plus has less chance of getting into the honey). A brood break, such as by making splits, may help as well.\nWhile I was waiting for the lab results, I tried a diagnostic technique that I’d never done before—the Holst Milk Test for AFB . This test detects the presence of the strong proteolytic enzyme that the sporulating AFB bacteria release in order to melt down the larval bodies in the last stage of infection. The enzyme will also break down milk protein—and “clarify” a weak solution of powdered milk within minutes. Luckily, I had a comb of obvious AFB on hand to show to my beginners classes, so I tested fully decomposed suspect EFB-like larvae against known AFB scale. The results were impressive (Fig. 6)! I highly recommend this test for beginners who suspect AFB in deadouts.\nI experimented with the test a bit. The more concentrated the milk solution, the longer it takes AFB to clear it—sometimes overnight (use less milk powder than in the photo above for a quicker field test). EFB will cause the milk to clump, but you don’t get the clear “apple juice” look as with AFB.\nSpeaking of treatments, since I recently found a correlation between weak colonies and the prevalence of nosema (percentage of bees infected), I tried treating all my dinks once a week from late January through early February with a drench of fumagillin (Fig. 7), 3-4 times total .\nBecause I had treated these dinks recently against nosema, I assumed that I could rule it out as the cause for the collapse. But beekeeping certainly has a way of making an ass of you when you assume anything! As I’m writing this article, it occurs to me that I should go back to the yard and grab a sample of the remaining dead bees to test for nosema…\nO.K., I’m back now– Result: 8 out of 10 of them had their guts loaded with spores! And one contained amoeba cysts to boot. That was an eye opener!\nDr. vanEngelsdorp found that even a relatively low level of nosema (1M spores in the house bees) increases the odds of a colony collapsing by a factor of [redacted]. More to the point, having 8 bees out of 10 infected is a death sentence for a colony! Oh, and by the way, there was no sign of dysentery.\nDisclaimer: Now please don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying that Nosema ceranae is the cause of CCD! It is not necessarily present when colonies suffer sudden collapse—the viruses are quite capable of doing that on their own!\nPractical application: The “spring turnover” of colony population, during which the aged winter bees must rear replacements, is a dicey time for weak or sick colonies. The old bees must not only fight parasite buildup and winter cold, but must also generate heat for the broodnest, and produce jelly in order to rear healthy young bees to take their places. If they don’t pull this feat off, the colony can quickly crash! This colony collapsed during a mild California foothill winter, with a good nectar and pollen flow on, interspersed with occasional bouts of snowfall. The chill events appear to be the fatal factor.\nPractical application: My guess as to why fumagillin did not clear the infection is that I was simply too late in applying it—the infection had already seriously taken hold, and this colony was simply unable to replace the infected bees with healthy ones in time. But remember, most of the dinks recovered quite handily!\nAs we looked through the dinks, we came upon some with yet another indicator of impending collapse—the presence of supersedure cells (Figures 8 and 9).\nI commonly see unexpected supersedure cells in heavily infected colonies—it doesn’t really seem to matter what the pathogen or parasite is. I’m not sure whether the bees are blaming the queen for their misery, or whether the queen gets infected and puts out a pheromonal signal to replace her.\nOf even more import is that some risk factors may synergize. If you multiply the relative risk due to a nosema infection times the relative risk due to the presence of supersedure cells, you then get a combined relative risk of [redacted; but much higher].\nPractical application: the combination of a nosema infection plus supersedure cells does not bode well for a colony’s survival!\nAs I’m looking at this photo I realize that my readers would be curious as to whether this colony also tested positive for nosema, so off I go again back to the same yard (through the rain—what I do for my readers)…\nO.K. I eventually found this exact same frame of dead bees, and squashed the abdomens of ten of them. Wanna guess? Nine of them were chock full of spores! So the infection had clearly moved into the last few young bees. Unfortunately, I had given the dead queen to Kodua to photograph, so couldn’t test her (the queen) for spores.\nPractical application: don’t count on dysentery to be a reliable indicator of serious Nosema ceranae infection—it isn’t, although I see it occasionally over the snow in front of infected colonies. If you’re not testing your dinks and deadouts for nosema, you have no idea as to whether Nosema ceranae is causing winter/spring mortality!\nPractical application caveat: over the past few years when I’ve tested the few remaining bees in collapsed deadouts, nosema was generally not evident (leading me to conclude that nosema was not a problem). In those cases, collapse was likely due to a virus infection. I’m not clear as to why this year is different, although my nosema levels have been ramping up each year (I hadn’t been treating against nosema). Overall, my bees this year have not been at their best, although a strong majority went to almonds and look fine. I’ll spot test them when they return (I’m typing these words in early March).\nI haven’t heard the researchers mention it, but I observe that yet another indicator of elevated risk for later collapse is that the colony does not consume pollen supplement in the fall. Beekeepers have long noticed that untouched protein patties are generally a sign of queenlessness, but I’m finding that they are also often a sign of a sick colony. Most all of my dinks had uneaten patties on the top bars in February (Figs. 7, 9, and 11).\nPractical application: a good indicator that a colony is going downhill is that it doesn’t consume protein patties. It might be a very good idea to quarantine those colonies to an isolated “sick yard” (like far away from my hives in the almonds!).\nI thought that I was perhaps the only one who noticed this one, but in conversation with other beekeepers who suffered from CCD, I found that others also observed that the cappings over the brood sometimes turned a very dark reddish tint, and instead of being slightly rounded outwards, would be flat. The brood appeared to be perfectly healthy under the cappings. I found this to be a sign that a colony was in trouble. However, I didn’t notice it when we later experimentally caused colony collapse with IAPV, nor do I notice it with colonies collapsing from Nosema ceranae.\nOh man, is this a touchy subject, with some very strong and adamant opinions out there! Beekeepers have long noticed that colonies set in certain agricultural areas go downhill, or may not make it through the following winter. Sometimes a certain pesticide is clearly to blame; other times it may simply be due to the lack, or poor nutritional quality, of the forage in the agricultural area, especially in this age of “clean farming” and wall to wall corn or soy.\nWhen I first published my model for colony collapse, mentioning that some pesticides become more toxic to bees at cooler temperatures, Dr. Eric Mussen sent me this note:\n“When Dr. Eric Erickson was employed at the USDA laboratory in Madison, WI, he conducted a small demonstration study based on observations reported by a number of nearby beekeepers. The beekeepers told him that when their hives were located near commercial corn fields and permethrin was applied to the crop during “bloom” (tassels producing pollen), the colonies did not survive over winter.\n“Dr. Erickson had half the lab colonies moved into an area near a corn field and had an application of permethrin made during bloom. No noticeable bee loss was noted in the apiary at the time. The colonies were then returned to the lab apiary and all colonies were prepared for winter. During the winter all the permethrin-exposed colonies died, whereas all the stay-at-home colonies survived. It wasn’t clear as to whether the mortality was due to the corn pollen, the pesticide, or something else, but the point is that colonies foraging upon sprayed corn fields in tassel exhibited a delayed effect of high winter mortality–greater than that of the colonies that were not exposed to the treated corn.”\nPractical application: in the registration process of pesticides, they are normally only tested on bees at about 80°F. We really have little idea as to the effect of pesticides upon bees at 45°F—the temperature of the bees in the outer shell of the winter cluster!\nI recently attended a presentation in Oregon in which commercial beekeepers described the number of pollination contracts that they moved their bees to during the summer, and more to my interest, the sheer number of pesticide applications that the bees had to deal with. To my mind, it’s a wonder that their bees survive at all!\nPractical application: some ag crops in certain areas are the kiss of death to bees, but the effect may not be noticed until winter. This is a complex subject, having to do not only with pesticides, but also with colony population dynamics, parasite dynamics, nutrition, symbiotic fungi and bacteria, pesticide and miticide synergies, pesticide/pathogen synergies, and who knows what else! I doubt that the problem has a simple answer.\nDr. Mark Carroll of the ARS is currently engaged in a project called “The Costs of Following the Bloom–Nutrient Processing, Microbial Dynamics, and Colony Health in a Migratory Beekeeping Operation” . I hope that his research can help to answer some of the above questions. In a recent presentation, he spoke of “overextended bees” in migratory operations, suffering from poor nutrition and parasite buildup. Perhaps he should also have spoken of “overextended beekeepers,” who are simply trying to run more colonies than they can properly manage!\nThere is a raging debate as to whether the systemic neonicotinoid insecticides are causing CCD, fueled by a great deal of conjecture and hyperbole that is often confused with fact. I’ll discuss this in my next article.\nThere is nothing new about the phenomenon of sudden colony collapse. In 1897 R.C. Aikin, from Colorado, described a similar phenomenon :\n“In [May] of 1891…I had been watching carefully the progress of brood rearing, and had the colonies quite strong in both bees and brood. … Many colonies were so strong that they were clustering out, although we had not unpacked yet…While they were so, I had looked all over and equalized stores and brood, then was absent about ten days… [when] I went to the out-apiaries to again inspect as to stores… I was astonished at the very few bees in them. I went to some hives that I knew had been clustered out about ten days previously, and I found not enough bees to cover the brood. The weather was warm, the bees packed in chaff, and the few bees left were spread all through the hives caring for the brood.\n“Some of the colonies were so depopulated that, when I lifted combs, I could lay my open palm on the face of a comb of brood and scarcely touch a bee. It was not what I understand as spring dwindling. The bees were mainly young, for bees had been hatching for weeks…\n“The bees just vanished, and were nowhere to be seen. If they had died in or about the hive, possibly we might have found out what was the matter; but they seemed to evaporate, hence I have called it “evaporation.” The loss of bees was so complete that many colonies had not half a teacupful of bees left, where, less than a week before, they covered brood In three combs and upward. The queens, it seems, were always left; but the workers so completely evaporated that the brood perished.”\nBeekeepers have always had to deal with episodes of colony collapse, sudden or not, and depending upon their fortitude and perseverance, use the bees’ biological capacity for rapid increase to recover. This “get over it and get going” attitude is exemplified in a scene from the movie “The Last Beekeeper.” While sitting at a diner, a woman commercial beekeeper is despairing about how CCD has financially ruined her operation; meanwhile, her companions, an older beekeeper couple, between bites of food, just keep saying “You gotta restock, you gotta restock.” That scene to me was the archetype of the attitude necessary for successful beekeeping.\nCCD was never actually a serious bee issue—there was little doubt (other than in the minds of fanatics) that the honey bee would survive. CCD was really about whether commercial beekeepers could financially survive such serious losses. And as I pointed out last month, were it not for the “generosity” of the almond growers, many of us would not have!\nIn my own beekeeping career, my operation has been devastated by collapse events four times: first by tracheal mite in the late 1980’s (to which many beekeepers lost 70% of their colonies); then by varroa (I lost 97% around 1996); then again when Apistan strips failed in the late 1990’s. And this dismal record doesn’t even take into account those El Niño years in which I decimated my operation myself in order to fill my nuc orders! By the time I got hit by CCD in 2005, collapse events were old hat!\nHowever, each of the above events was followed by seasons in which I could recover. But as we picked up each new parasite, recovery got a bit more difficult, due to increased levels of colony morbidity and mortality. Preceding, and concurrent with CCD, our colonies were already experiencing an elevated rate of winter loss over the norm. What the heck is the “norm”? Back in the “good old days,” beekeepers expected to lose maybe 5% of colonies over the winter; perhaps 10% where winters were severe. Losses were mainly blamed upon starvation, queen failure, or Nosema apis.\nAfter the arrival of varroa, the “normal” winter loss rate ramped up to the 15-20% range. CCD (and perhaps Nosema ceranae) notched that average rate up to above 30%–a level at which winter losses really started to hurt! The interesting thing is that about a quarter of commercial operations get hit disproportionately hard, and about a quarter have few problems. Beekeepers and researchers are pulling their hair out trying to find the causes for the difference!\nWhat made CCD stand out was our inability to blame it on the “Usual Suspects.” However, it also became an oh so handy scapegoat for absolving oneself from blame for losses due to mismanagement, poor timing, lack of varroa control, or anything else. I’m not depreciating the devastation and distress caused by CCD in some operations (the film “The Last Beekeeper” is heart wrenching), but most beekeepers found that given enough financial incentive, they could recover and figure out how to avoid major losses.\nPractical application: those beekeepers who diligently keep mite and nosema levels down, ensure that their bees get good nutrition, and are not continuously exposed to commercial agriculture tend to have fewer problems with colony collapse (not that I expect you to take that as any sort of revelation!).\nAs you can see by the blow-by-blow account that I’m giving of my own learning curve, I personally sure haven’t figured everything out—beekeeping presents new challenges every year! I like the recent quote from California beekeeper Henry Harlan :\n“If you meet a beekeeper who says he knows it all, his bees will probably be dead next year.”\nIn any case, Colony Collapse Disorder has presented us with an opportunity to learn a great deal about bee health. I will follow this article with a critical analysis of the suspect causes of both CCD specifically, and increased colony mortality and morbidity in general, followed by a summary of experiments that actually tested various hypotheses.\nAs always, I am deeply indebted to Peter Borst for his help with research, and to my wife Stephanie for her critical reading of my manuscripts. And thanks to Dianne Behnke of Dadant for digging out and scanning old articles from ABJ for me! I am especially appreciative of the worldwide community of bee researchers, who take the time to discuss my questions at length.\n White, GF (1920) European foulbrood.

It is often easiest to simply rip out the entire bottom of the cell with forceps and drop it all into the tube. You can also drop in the twig that you use to test for ropiness. The more diseased larval remains you add, the quicker the reaction; however, if you use only a partial scale, or a twig, then either use less solution, or dilute the milk even further.\nThe reaction can also be speeded up by warming the water to up to 165°F (as hot as you can hold your fingers in). I could get tubes of ½ tsp of weak milk solution inoculated with a single scale to clear in less than 5 minutes by incubating them in a cup of hot water.\nIt is easy to make up a field AFB test kit consisting of a pair of tweezers, a vial of milk powder, and some clear glass vials for running the tests. At home, you can use liquid milk (skim preferred) diluted 1:4, again at the ratio of 1 scale per ½ tsp of diluted milk. When first trying this test, I suggest that you run an uninoculated vial of milk solution side by side for comparison.\nNote that the test is retarded if the combs have been stored with paradichlorobenzene for wax moth control.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Before beginning to analyze the impact of the Muslim world on Western science and technology, it is helpful to understand the history and culture of the Islamic world. Therefore, we will start this section with a tutorial on the history of the Islamic World to 1600, created by the University of Calgary.\nYou should read the following four web sites before you begin the section on Muslim Contributions to Science and Technology.\nThe first site you should visit is The History of Islam by Professor John Voll of Georgetown University. Originally a ten page article published in the Encyclopedia of Politics and Religion, ed. Robert Wuthnow; then put online by Congressional Quarterly, Inc.. http://www.cqpress.com/context/articles/epr_islam.html\nNext, you should read the history of Spain from a Muslim point of view. After the reconquest of Spain by Christian forces, much of the scientific knowledge that was developed by Muslims came to Western Europe through Spain. Therefore, a knowledge of the Muslim conquest and loss of Spain is crucial to understanding the flow of information. Andalusia, http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/ihame/Sec5.htm\nLast, you should read this essay that presents \"certain aspects of the Islamic sciences as seen from the Islamic point of view.\" Science and Civilization in Islam, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/med/nasr.html\nWhile most of Europe was living in the intellectually dormant times of the Middle Ages, a different situation existed in Spain. And, this difference can be traced directly to Muslim influences. Spain, even before the Moslem conquests, was the scene of much fighting and territorial disputes. In the early Middle Ages, after the \"Fall\" of the Roman Empire, Spain was conquered by a confederation of German tribes (around 411 AD). Shortly after, Spain was again conquered by the Visigoths (416 to 418 AD). Kings from Visigoth families ruled Spain for the next two hundred years until the Muslim conquest of Spain that began in 711 AD (Collins, 1995). Over the next 19 years, the Muslims conquered most of Spain and were threatening to conquer France until stopped by Charles Martel (the grandfather of Charlemagne) at Poiters in 732. Click on this link to read three different accounts on the Battle of Tours, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/732tours.html.\nAs discussed in the University of Calgary tutorial, Spain was ruled for 300 years by the descendents of the Umayyad ruling house. You will remember from the tutorial that the Abbasid Revolution in 750 destroyed Umayyad power in most areas of the Islamic world. However, during the Revolution, the grandson of one of the former caliphs escaped to Spain and set up a kingdom that lasted until the Berbers from North Africa took over in the 11th century.\nScientific knowledge, architecture, mathematics, and philosophy flourished in Spain during the rule of the Umayyad. Much of this intellectual climate can be traced to the precepts of the Qur'an (in English, we sometimes refer to this as the Koran). Throughout the Qur'an, there is a strong emphasis on the value of knowledge. As noted in the tutorial, \"because Muslims believe that Allah is all-knowing, they also believe that the human world's quest for knowledge leads to further knowing of Allah. Muslims must thus pursue knowledge not only of God's laws, but of the natural world as well, extending the frontiers of human knowledge. Unlike the revealed knowledge of the Qur'an, Muslims believe that human knowledge is not perfect, and requires constant exploration and advancement through research and experimentation. According to the Qur'an, learning and gaining knowledge is the highest form of religious activity for Muslims, and the one which is most pleasing to God.\"\nAbu Ali al-Husayn Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sina (sometimes known in the West as Avicenna) was born in Bukhara in 980. He is arguably the most famous and influential of all the Islamic philosopher-scientists. His famous book, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb (\"The Canon of Medicine\") was used throughout Europe for over 600 years. In his writings, he spelled out the procedures for testing the effectiveness of a new drug. Beyond his work in medicine, he also made significant contributions in philosophy, mathematics, chemistry, and astronomy and was the author of over 200 books.\nIn the Medieval Age, the Muslims led the world in their pursuit of knowledge. Much of this knowledge was discovered by Muslim scientists while other knowledge was derived from other cultures including the Greeks, Persians, Indian, and Chinese. The Muslims synthesized, elaborated, and transmitted this knowledge to Spain; and eventually, to the entire Western world. In Western Europe at this time, most of the knowledge of the Greeks was lost. It was only through the transfer of Greek knowledge (including Aristotle's philosophy, Ptolemy's geography, Hippocrates' medicine) by Islam Spain that this information ever got to Western Europe.\nHistorians have discovered that there were two major periods of intense scholarly work in the Muslim world during the Medieval Age. The first period was in the 9th and 10th centuries in Baghdad and the second period was the 12th and 13th century in Europe (primarily Spain). In both of these periods, Muslim translators first translated the Greek knowledge into Arabic and then into other languages. Of course, as was discussed previously, Greek knowledge was enhanced and expanded by Muslim scholars. Remember the primary language of Europe at this time was Latin--all the Romance languages (French, Italian, etc) were just beginning to be used and were generally considered to be vulgar (According to the Encyclopedia Britannica (2000), Vulgar Latin \"was primarily the speech of the middle classes in Rome and the Roman provinces.\" After the Roman Empire fell, regional differences in vulgar Latin increased and eventually became the Romance languages.)\n\"Take Aristotle, for instance. Only a fraction of his work was known in Europe during the post-classical era, when barbarian invasions caused the loss of so much earlier culture. But most of his books were translated into Arabic, and were studied and commented on over and over again in Baghdad and other centers. European philosophers rediscovered them via these commentaries. Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) were famous names in medieval philosophy and their predecessor al-Farabi (Alfarabius) is said to have lectured on Aristotle's Physics 40 times and his Rhetoric 80 times\" (Zahoor, 1997b).\nWhy was this knowledge lost to Western Europe? An answer can be found by looking at the time and events that occurred before the start of the European Medieval Age. During the ending centuries of the Roman Empire, Christianity became more powerful and influential, especially after become lawful under the Roman Emperor Constantine (Emperor AD 324 - 337). A consequence of the ascendancy of Christianity was that less authority was given to the pagan, \"classical teachings\" of the Greeks. The main preserve of Greek writing was in Egypt. However, the Library of Alexandria, one of the largest libraries in Egypt (and the Western world) was destroyed by fire in 389 AD. In this one event, many writings were lost. Also lost and burned was the Museum of Alexandria, a real university, in 415 when riots incited by Christians caused its destruction.\nArtist Name: Islamic Anonymous\nDespite these, the scholarly tradition of the Greeks was preserved in Alexandria and at the university at Jundishahpur (Persia), where excommunicated Nestorian Christian scholars went in 431 and some Greek scholars found refuge after Plato's Academy was closed in 529. According to Abdel-reheem Ead (2000), the transfer of Greek knowledge to the Muslims \"was made partly through direct contact in Egypt, partly through the medium of Syrian Christian translators, and partly by way of Persia.\" It is clear that, when Egypt was taken over in 641 AD by the Muslims, much Greek classical knowledge passed in this way into the Islamic culture. In 636, Persia became part of the Islamic world and Arab rulers continued to support the university at Jundishahpur. Through their translations of Greek texts, Islamic physicians were able to read the works of Hippocrates, Galen and other Greek physicians. In contrast, after the fall of the Roman Empire, all that remained of Greek science were Pliny's Encyclopedia and Boethius's treatises on logic and mathematics (Tschanz, 1997).\nThe Islamic love of knowledge can be seen in their cities. Every major Islamic city in medieval times had an extensive library; in Cordoba and Baghdad the libraries claim to have had over 400,000 books. We can compare this to the largest libraries in Western Europe that had only hundreds of books. Even into the 14th century, the library at the University of Paris only had about 2,000 books (McClellan & Dorn, 1999).\nMuslims referred to Spain as Al-Andalus. This word has several meanings. \"One of them is ‘to become green after a long summer or drought,’ and the history of the Iberian Peninsula over the ages attests to this phase when Muslims ruled Spain\" (Zahoor, 1997b). The influence of the Muslim world on Western science can be seen in the vocabulary of science as many of the words used by Muslim scientists have been retained and have entered the English language. Arabic words in chemistry include alcohol, alkali, niter (from which word we get nitrate), alkahest (the universal solvent, sought by the alchemists), and alembic (a distilling flask). Astronomical Arabic terms include almanac, zenith, and nadir (Plambeck, 1995).\nBeginning in the Middle Ages, men seeking knowledge would travel to Spain to obtain Muslim science. This may be surprising since we tend to think of the Muslim world as being separated from Europe. But, there were many linkage between these two societies, one being trade and the other, more significantly education. Adelard of Bath, an Englishman in the 12th century, was the first major popularizer of Muslim science in the West. He spent a long time in Muslim Spain learning both about Greek mathematics and science as well as Muslim contributions to science. In particular he introduced Euclid and aspects of astronomy to Western Europe.\n\"As well as more technical treatises, he wrote Natural Questions - the selections here are from its preface and part of the body - which expresses his fundamental belief that God should not be invoked to explain what human knowledge can.\" Adelard of Bath: The Impact of Muslim Science. Preface to His Very Difficult Natural Questions, [Dodi Ve-Nechdi] c. 1137 from Medieval Sourcebook, http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/adelardbath1.html\nThe key event for Medieval Europe came in 1085 when the great Muslim city of Toledo fell to Christian military forces. Toledo housed one of the largest libraries in the world at this time. And, this library was filled with thousands of books including Muslim translations of classic Greek philosophers. After the fall of Toledo, this city became the focus of a massive translation effort where teams of translators translated the Arabic texts into Latin. Often, this was not a one-step process. Jewish intellectuals frequently served as the translators--translating Arabic into Hebrew for themselves and then into Spanish for the Christians. But, because most of Europe spoke Latin, the works were then translated into Latin (often by priests or monks). One translator, Gerard of Cremona (1114-87) worked for forty years in Spain translating, with a team, over 70 books from Arabic originals including the works of Archimedes, Galen, Hippocrates, and Aristotle (McClellan & Dorn, 1999). In addition to Toledo, Arab work was found and translated in southern Italy and Sicily (reconquered by Norman knights in the 11th century). By 1200, Europe had recovered most of ancient science as well as appropriating several centuries of scientific, medical, and philosophical work done by Muslim scholars.\nIn the remainder of this section, we will look at specific scientific innovations and technologies that were transferred to Western Europe through Islamic Spain. The story of these technologies will show the wide range of scientific and technological innovation that occurred in the Middle Ages in Al-Andalus. I have divided this into three sections: mathematics, astronomy, and chemistry and medicine.\nIn Europe during the Medieval Age, scholars used the Roman number system. For those of you who remember the Roman number system from school, you will remember that it is not particularly use to add and subtract. And, the Roman numeral system was great hindrance to the economic development of Europe. The Muslim world, instead, used a different number system--the Arabic number system that we use today.\nAlthough having the name \"Arabic number system,\" Arabic numerals were actually invented in India by the Hindus around 600 AD. You can visit the website, An overview of Indian mathematics, to get more details about the role on Indians in the history of mathematics, http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Indian_mathematics.html.\nA problem with the Hindu system is that it was written backwards. So, the number thirty-two would be written as 23. According to the web site IslamCity (http://www.islamicity.com/Mosque/ihame/Ref6.htm), \"One of the great centers of learning was Baghdad, where Arab, Greek, Persian, Jewish, and other scholars pooled their cultural heritages and where in 771 an Indian scholar appeared, bringing with him a treatise on astronomy using the Indian numerical system.\" The Muslims adopted and changed the Hindu system which subsequently became known as the Arabic number system.\nAs with most other Muslim developments, the knowledge of Arabic numbers spread to Europe through Spain where it was evident that the Arabic number system was superior to the Roman number system, particular in commerce, arithmetic, and algebra. The Codex Vigilanus, written in Spain in 976, is the oldest European manuscript containing Arabic numbers. And, in the 14th century, Arabic numerals became widely used by merchants in Italy. After merchants began using the new number system, their use then spread to the rest of Europe.\nAl-Khwarizmi is recognized as the founder of modern Algebra. The actual name of algebra comes from the title of his most famous book, Kitab Al-Jabr wa al-Muqabilah (\"The Book of Integration and Equation\"). This book on algebra, in its translated form, was the principal mathematics textbook in European universities until the 16th century.\nBut the contributions of the Muslim world did not end with the Arabic number system. Because the Arabic number system, our decimal system, made mathematical calculations easier, it then became easier to use this number system to describe relationships. This process of using the decimal system to generalize arithmetical processes and relationships evolved into what we call algebra today. This type of mathematical reasoning was a departure from mathematical Greek thought (which is geometric). In mathematics, some of the Arabic terms are algorithm, algebra, and arithmetic.\n\"The noted Arab mathematician al-Khwârizmî (Muhammad b. Musa al-Khwârizmî ca. 875) wrote a textbook on the subject which now exists only in a number of Latin versions. In these a point is used for zero. In ca. 952 Abu'l-Hasan-al-Uqlidisi wrote the Book of the parts of Indian Arithmetic which contains an explanation and application of decimal fractions...In 1202 Leonardo of Pisa (also known as Fibonacci) published his Liber Abaci, a book of arithmetic and algebraic information. Al-Khwârizmî's book was a major influence on Fibonacci\" (Gans, 2000).\nTo conclude our discussion of the contributions of Muslim scientists to mathematics, you should read the following essays.\nArabic mathematics : forgotten brilliance? by J J O'Connor and E F Robertson, http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Arabic_mathematics.html\nAbu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi's contributions to the creation of algebra, http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Al-Khwarizmi.html\nIn addition to their developments in the field of mathematics, the Muslim world made significant contributions to the field of astronomy. In our section on clocks (under Technology in the Middle Age), we noted that the developments in Chinese clock building were influenced by Muslims. During the period beginning with the Mongol conquest of China by Kublai Khan, the Chinese Mongol rulers employed Muslim astronomers. These Muslim astronomers developed improved astronomical instruments (McClellan & Dorn, 1999). At this time (10-12th century), most clocks were used for astronomical and astrological purposes rather than for telling the time of day. So, it is not surprising that Muslim scientists should have been experts both in clocks as well as astronomy.\nAccording to (The Islamic World to 1600), \"Part of the reason for the Muslim interest in astronomy is unique to the Islamic faith, and grew from the Muslim attempt to solve practical problems.\" The Muslim calendar is based upon a lunar system and the arrival of the new moon marked the beginning and end of each month. This was particular important during the month of Ramadan, when fasting is required during the day. A second practical motivation for studying the stars was to determine the direction of Mecca from any location because Muslims are required to face Mecca when they pray.\n\"These practical concerns for Muslims led to great advancements in astronomy. Observatories were first established in the Islamic world, in major cities such as Baghdad, Hamadan, Toledo, Maragha, Samarkand, and Istanbul, and new instruments were developed. The Muslim invention of the astrolabe, for example, was one of the most important in astronomy until the invention of the telescope in the 17th century\" (The Islamic World to 1600).\nArtist Name: Umayyad Anonymous\nThe astrolabe was a critical development for both the Muslim and Western world. (A history of the astrolabe is given at http://www.astrolabes.org/pages/history.htm. And, there are several different types of astrolabes. By far the most popular type is the planispheric astrolabe, on which the celestial sphere is projected onto the plane of the equator. A planispheric astrolabe consists of two flat circular disk. One of the disks has a map of the sky on its face. The second disk shows the horizon, the lines of altitude for a specific latitude and the zenith (The zenith is the \"point of the celestial sphere that is directly over the observer and 90 degrees from all points on that person's horizon\" (Encarta, 2000)).\nAs you can see from the photo above, the astrolabe is mounted in a case with degrees marked around the perimeter and arms mounted in the center. To use the astrolabe, you move the moveable arms to a particular location.\n\"Astrolabes can be used to solve many astronomical problems that would otherwise require rather sophisticated mathematics. All of the everyday uses of the astrolabe are not known, but they were certainly used to tell time during the day or night, to find the time of sunrise and sunset and, thus, the length of the day, to locate celestial objects in the sky, as a handy reference of celestial positions and, as astrology was a deeply embedded element of the cultures that used astrolabes, to determine aspects of horoscopes. Islamic prayer times are astronomically determined, and the astrolabe could be used to determine the required times\" (Morrison, 2000).\nAnother kind of astrolabe was a navigational astrolabe. The astrolabe allowed a sailor to determine his latitude--the north-south position. To do this, the sailor would align the horizontal axis of the astrolabe with the horizon. He then pointed it at the sun and read its position on the outer disk. He could then find his latitude by consulting an astronomical table (usually in a book).\nYou can read more about The Mariner's Astrolabe at http://www.astrolabes.org/pages/mariner.htm\nMany of you have probably heard of Omar Khayyam through his famous book of poetry, the Rubaiyat. But, in his time and until the 19th century, Omar Khayyam was much more famous as a scientist. His most famous work was in the areas of mathematics and astronomy. When working for the sultan Malik-Shah Jalal al-Din, he created the Jalali solar calendar which still is the most accurate calendar that exists today with only an error of one day in 3330 years.\nTitle: Scene from Rubaiyat.\nThe following web essay will give you more details on the Muslim contributions to Astronomy.\nUses of the Astrolabe (in the Middle Ages), http://www.astrolabes.org/pages/uses.htm\nIt would be simplistic to look upon the Muslim world merely as the conduit for Greek knowledge transferred to Europe. Yes, the classical works of Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Galen were eventually transferred to Europe through Islamic Spain. However, Muslim contributions to chemistry are more significant than these transfers, particularly in the areas of chemistry and medicine. The medical knowledge available in the Muslim world was so far advanced as compared to the Medieval West. Muslim innovation and work in chemistry and medicine flourished from about 900 - 1200 AD. After the translation efforts of Toledo and other places, books from Arab sources became standard medical texts in Europe.\nTitle: De Materia Medica of Dioscorides.\nPreparation of medicines from flowers & consul\nWhy was the Muslim world so far advanced in medicine as compared to Europe? Much of the answer to this question relates to the different worldviews of the two societies. As we noted previously, throughout the Qur'an, there is a strong emphasis on the value of knowledge. And, since the pursuit of knowledge is viewed in a most positive light, experimentation and discovery are encouraged and indeed supported by the government. This worldview is in direct contrast to that existing in the Europe of the Medieval Age.\nAfter the end of the western Roman Empire, the Catholic church stepped into the void created by its end. The Catholic church viewed all knowledge as revealed through the church. Therefore, the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake was viewed with suspicion. Also, the Church placed its emphasis on the soul so medical treatment of the body was not valued. In fact, the hospitals of the Medieval Age, usually run by monks, were places to take seriously ill people to either live or die, based upon God's will. During the Medieval Age, instead of care for the body, lack of care was seen to be evidence of godliness. Mortification, the abuse of the body for spiritual reasons, was widespread during the Medieval Age.\nAmong the other translations, two significant Arabic medical books were translated into Latin. The first, Introduction to Medicine written by Hunain ibn Ishaq, remained a popular medical text in Europe for 600 years. The second book was written by Abu Ali al-Husayn Ibn Abdullah Ibn Sina (sometimes known in the West as Avicenna). His book, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb (\"The Canon of Medicine\") was used in both Europe and the Islamic world from the 11th to the 17th centuries and was reprinted at least 35 times in Europe.\nMuslim doctors learned how to use sedatives, they pioneered the use of antiseptics to clean wounds, and they also used sutures made from gut and silk to bind wounds. In all areas of both practical and theoretical medicine, they were ahead of their colleagues in Europe, where people often considered sickness to be the sign of immorality, punishment from God, or \"as a condition caused by supernatural forces, which might take the form of diabolical possession\" (Tschanz, 1997). One of the greatest breakthroughs in medical knowledge during the Medieval Age came in the 13th century when a Muslim doctor, Muhammad ibn Ahmad Ilyas, discovered how blood circulated in the body.\nClick on the photo to the left to view a larger picture of an anatomical sketch from the Illustrated Anatomy of Muhammad ibn Ahmad Ilyas, 1396. The US National Library of Medicine in Bethseda, MD has a copy of the anatomy text by Mansur ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf ibn Ilyas. There are many other images from this historical text available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/arabic/p18.html\nThe following web sites discuss the contributions of the Muslim (or Islamic) world to Western chemistry and medicine.

In this section, I have focused on four specific areas: mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, and medicine. This does not mean that Muslim scientists and philosophers did not contribute to other areas. In fact, the founder of Algebra, Al-Khwarizmi, directed a team of geographers who produced the first map of the known world in 830. I hope that this short introduction to the Islamic influences on Western culture and science will increase your appreciation of the interactions that existed, and still exist, between different societies.\nThe next section discusses the contributions of China to the growth of technology in the West.\nAbdel-reheem Ead, H.

{"text": "Create Your Own Organic Compost\nAre you tired of buying bag after bag of commercial compost for your garden? If you’re looking to save some money and have more control over the quality of your compost, why not try making your own organic compost at home? It’s easier than you might think, and the benefits for your plants and the environment are numerous. Here’s how to get started creating your own organic compost:\nGather Your Materials\nThe first step to making your own compost is to gather all the materials you’ll need. You’ll also need a container or area to store your compost, such as a compost bin or a designated area in your backyard.\nIn order to create an effective compost pile, you’ll need a few essential ingredients. The most important is organic material. These include grass clippings, twigs, leaves, and fruit and vegetable scraps. You can use a lawn mower to slice your garden waste into manageable pieces.\nAnother important component is moisture. You’ll need to add water to the pile to keep it at the right temperature. As you add new materials, you’ll need to rotate the pile. To aerate the pile, you’ll want to use a pitchfork or other tool of your choosing.\nAnother necessary ingredient is the appropriate amount of nitrogen. Your compost pile should contain a mix of brown and green materials. Brown items should include newspaper, dried plant material, and straw. Adding these to your compost heap can speed up the decomposition process.\nOne of the best ways to get started is to ask friends and family for their unwanted materials. This can be especially useful if you live in a neighborhood where you don’t have access to a compost pile.\nStart Layering Your Materials\nOnce you have your materials gathered, it’s time to start layering them in your compost container or area. Start by adding a layer of “brown” materials, such as dead leaves, twigs, and shredded paper. These materials will provide carbon and structure for your compost. Next, add a layer of “green” materials, such as food scraps and grass clippings, which will provide nitrogen and moisture. Alternate between layers of brown and green materials until your compost container is full.\nAdd Water and Mix\nOnce you have your layers of brown and green materials in place, it’s important to add water to your compost. This will help to keep everything moist and facilitate the decomposition process. Use a watering can or hose to lightly mist your compost until it is evenly moist. Then, use a pitchfork or shovel to mix everything together and ensure that the moisture is evenly distributed.\nKeep in mind that adding a small amount of water to your compost pile will boost its oxygenation and help it decompose faster, but excessive moisture can lead to an odor and slime problem, and will not produce a healthy compost.\nLet it Decompose\nThe final step in the composting process is to let everything decompose. This can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the size of your compost and the materials you’ve used. As your compost decomposes, it will heat up and the materials will break down into a rich, crumbly soil-like substance. You can help to speed up the decomposition process by regularly turning your compost and ensuring that it stays moist.\nYou can speed up the composting process by adding a nitrogen fertilizer to the pile. You can also add a carbon-rich material, such as hay. Alternatively, you can buy commercial starters for compost piles that have the right ratio of carbon to nitrogen. Adding water is another way to help the process along.\nUsing Your Compost\nOnce your compost is ready, you can use it to enrich the soil in your garden or potted plants. Simply mix it into the soil around your plants or use it as a top dressing to give them a nutrient boost. You can also use your compost as a natural fertilizer by adding it to water and using it as a liquid plant food.\nThere are a few things to keep in mind as you create your own organic compost. First, it’s important to use a variety of materials in your compost to ensure that it has a balanced mix of nutrients. This means including both “brown” materials, such as dead leaves and twigs, and “green” materials, such as food scraps and grass clippings. You can also add in other organic materials such as coffee grounds, eggshells, and even small amounts of animal manure (just be sure to use manure from herbivores, such as cows or horses, rather than carnivores).\nIt’s also a good idea to avoid certain materials in your compost. These include meat, bones, and dairy products, as they can attract pests and create unpleasant odors. Additionally, avoid adding diseased plants or weeds that have gone to seed to your compost, as these can spread diseases or weeds to your garden.\nAs your compost decomposes, you may notice that it attracts a variety of insects and other critters. This is a normal part of the process, and these creatures help to break down the materials in your compost. However, if you notice any unwanted pests such as rats or flies, you may need to take steps to deter them. One way to do this is to cover your compost with a layer of straw or leaves, which can help to discourage pests and keep your compost looking tidy.\nFinally, it’s worth noting that there are different methods for creating compost, and you may want to experiment to find the method that works best for you. Some people prefer to use compost bins or tumblers, while others prefer to create a compost pile in a designated area of their yard. Whichever method you choose, the key is to keep an eye on your compost and make any necessary adjustments to ensure that it is decomposing properly.\nMaking your own organic compost is a simple and rewarding process that can have numerous benefits for your plants and the environment. Not only will it provide your plants with all the nutrients they need to thrive, but it will also help to reduce waste and support sustainable gardening practices. Plus, it’s a great way to save money on commercial compost and have more control over the quality of the materials you’re using. So why not give it a try and see the difference it can make in your garden?\nBy following these tips and being patient, you’ll be well on your way to creating your own rich, nutritious organic compost for your garden.

{"text": "There’s a “new” cookie in the spotlight which is virtually impossible for computer users to detect, and it’s completely legal, at least for now. According to researchers at Stanford University and University of California at Berkley, websites such as MSN.com and Hulu.com have been “installing files known as ‘super cookies’ which are capable of recreating users’ profiles after people deleted regular cookies” and without the knowledge of the user. The companies’ reaction when contacted by researchers? The tracking technique was claimed to be inadvertent and shut down immediately. Microsoft associate general counsel Mike Hintze offered this explanation: “We determined that the cookie behavior he observed was occurring under certain circumstances as a result of older code that was used only on our own sites, and was already scheduled to be discontinued.”\nAs a search marketer, I am all too familiar with session cookies, secure cookies and third party cookies, but I was unfamiliar with these smarter, stealthier cookies with more interesting agendas. So I did a little cookie research on Wikipedia to better understand.\nI’ll start by noting, cookies are not by nature bad, as Wikipedia explains, they “cannot be programmed, cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer. However, they can be used by spyware to track user’s browsing activities – a major privacy concern that prompted European and US law makers to take action. Cookies could also be stolen by hackers to gain access to a victim’s web account.”\nA Super cookie is a “cookie set through the Adobe Flash system, bypassing the browser cookie manager. These cookies cannot be deleted through the browser, but require modifications to the settings on the Adobe Flash panel.”\nInterestingly, the Evercookie was created by Samy Kamkar, creator of the Samy Worm, which took down MySpace in 2005.\nA Zombie cookie (produced by an Evercookie) is “any cookie that is automatically recreated after a user has deleted it. This is accomplished by a script storing the content of the cookie in some other locations, such as the local storage available to Flash content, HTML5 storages and other client side mechanisms, and then recreating the cookie from backup stores when the cookie’s absence is detected.”\nTechie lingo aside, each of these cookies has one goal — continue to collect user web-browsing information even after standard cookies have been deleted.\nPrivacy concerns are once again at the forefront due to these types of tracking tactics. And despite the increasing calls for stricter governmental regulations, the online ad industry claims to be capable of regulating itself. But Julia Angwin of The Wall Street Journal explains, “Under the self-imposed guidelines, collecting health and financial data about individuals is permissible as long as the data don’t contain financial-account numbers, Social Security numbers, pharmaceutical prescriptions or medical records. But using techniques such as history stealing and supercookies ‘to negate consumer choices’ about privacy violates the guidelines, says Lee Peeler, executive vice president of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, one of several groups enforcing the rules.”\nI understand the need for companies to maximize revenue through targeted advertising, and have seen such products as Google’s remarketing perform amazingly well for advertisers, but using secretive tracking techniques without user consent appears suspect. As an avid online shopper, I do enjoy a customized shopping experience with sites that recommend items I might actually like i.e. Amazon, but I’m not keen on the idea of all of my personal web-browsing history being recorded somewhere and potentially sold to a company willing to pay for the valuable information, or even worse, accessed by hackers for more malicious uses.\nTags | Adobe Flash, Amazon, Cookies, Customized Shopping Experience, Evercookie, Google, HTML5, Microsoft, privacy concerns, Stanford University, Super cookie, University of California at Berkley, Wikipedia, Zombie cookie", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The “Good Cop, Bad Cop” routine is a common tool for those dealing with miscreants and troublemakers. Does it actually work?\nThe routine is designed to instill a sense of fear, which leads to compliance when fear changes to relief. For example, a school administrator or teacher may outline the standard punishments for an infraction before using a more personal, adapted approach for the situation.\nA recent study on the topic shows that the routine does cause some mental confusion, which could lead to the desired results; however, actual results are a little mixed. It may work in some cases, and it may not. Still, reminding students of the possible consequences of their actions is an effective tool for educators and disciplinarians, although asking students to think of the consequences is a more reflective, learning-based approach that is probably even more effective.\nImage: Project Azazel", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The Chawnglaizawn is a ceremonial dance of unique kind. It may be called a funeral dance, since it is performed when the village chief or a very well-to-do person of the village dies. This custom is prevalent among the people of the Pawi tribal community. Chawnglaizawn literally means dance and jump for glory. The Pawis regard two days most important in a man’s life : the day he is born and the day he dies. It is a kind of homage the villagers pay to the dead chief who is glorified in the dance. The members of the chiefs family give pigs and fowls to the villagers as gifts, which are treated for a sumptuous feast. Earlier the dance was being performed by only one dancer. He used to carry a gun and while dancing and singing used fire shots upward occasionally. In course of time the dance changed considerably and now it is performed usually by 16 men and 16 women dancers. About five musicians provide the accompanying percussion music playing different sizes of gongs and drums.\n/ / Chawnglaizawn", "label": "No"}

From their voices, she first heard the voices of the Animal People and began to learn the lessons they had to teach her. For these were teaching stories that took the place of punishment or scolding, showing her the values that her people respect and wanted to pass on to her.\nHer love of stories and culture set her on a path to listen and learn and share the stories—to give people a clearer understanding of the often misunderstood, often invisible, cultures of the First Nations of North America. The product of a “mixed” background that is urban Chicago and rural Texas, Internet and ancient teachers, elders’ teachings and university classrooms —Dovie began telling stories “publicly” while teaching literature and writing at an urban high school in Cleveland. So, she began telling those first-heard old Indian stories—stories about making choices—stories that could become a blueprint for a personal value system.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The prevailing climatic conditions during blasting and painting are critical in achieving a successful coating application.\nIn certain conditions moisture from the air can condense on the substrate post blast resulting in flash rust which can adversely affect the adherence of subsequently applied paint. Furthermore moisture can condense on the substrate after the application of the paint before the curing process is complete.\nIn order to monitor the dewpoint temperature the following parameters must be measured: the surface temperature of the substrate, the air temperature, and the relative humidity. By applying a formula to the air temperature and the relative humidity the dewpoint can be calculated – the surface temperature of the substrate must remain at least 3 degrees Celcius above the dewpoint temperature to avoid moisture condensing on the surface.\nThe temperature must always be monitored to ensure that it remains within the parameters of the coating specifications.

{"text": "When you open the Editor toolbar in ArcGIS 10, you’ll notice that the toolbar looks different. For starters, there is no task list and no target layer list. So how do you add a feature without them? In ArcGIS 10, you use the new Create Features window, which contains all the elements you need. The workflow to create features is the same whether you are editing geodatabases or shapefiles or using an ArcView, ArcEditor, or ArcInfo license.\nIntroducing feature templates and the Create Features window\nWhen you start editing, the Create Features window opens vertically and docks on the right side of your ArcMap application. The top of the Create Features window lists the feature templates in your map. A feature template is a new concept at ArcGIS 10. It is somewhat like setting the old target layer but is more powerful than that because it contains properties about how new features should be created: the target layer (feature class) where a feature will be stored, the attributes that a feature is created with, and the default tool that is used to create that feature. Feature templates also have a name, description, and tags that can help you find and organize them. You can review and set these on the Template Properties dialog box, which you can open by double-clicking a feature template on the Create Features window.\nArcMap automatically creates feature templates for the layers in the current editing workspace the first time you start an edit session in a map. Feature templates are based on the symbology of the layer, so you can have more than one feature template per layer. One feature template is created for a layer symbolized with the single symbol renderer, but a layer drawn with unique values gets a feature template for each symbol category. For example, if you have a layer of roads, a new feature template is created for each symbol type: freeway, major road, local road, and so on. The feature templates have the same target layer property but different road type attributes. This way, if you create a new feature using the freeway feature template, the attribute for the road type is automatically assigned as freeway. The new feature will also be symbolized correctly as a freeway.\nThe graphics below show the Layer Properties > Symbology tab listing the unique values symbols used for a Roads layer and the resulting feature templates in the Create Features window. Since the Roads layer has three unique values categories, three feature templates are created, where each one has a different default attribute value for the road type (Freeway, Major road, or Local road).\nThe bottom panel of the Create Features window lists the tools available to create features for the kind of feature template you have selected at the top of the window. For example, if you click the Springs point feature template at the top of the window, the construction tools will change to tools used to create points. If the Freeway line feature template is active, only construction tools that create lines are listed, as shown below.\nCreating features with feature templates\nSo, simply put, to create a feature, choose a feature template at the top of the window and a tool at the bottom of the window. Each feature template has a default construction tool that is automatically activated when you choose a feature template, but you can click a different construction tool in the list to use instead. If you want to create a point representing the location of a spring water feature, simply click the Springs feature template and the Point tool, then click the map where you want to add the point.\nTo digitize segments as you did with the Sketch tool in previous releases, click a line or polygon feature template, then use the Line or Polygon tool to click the map where you want to place vertices. Straight segments are created by default as you click, but you can change the segment types using the palette on the Editor toolbar or Feature Construction mini toolbar. The Feature Construction toolbar follows the pointer as you click to give you easy access to commonly used tools. If the toolbar gets in your way while digitizing, press the TAB key to reposition it.\nThe process for creating annotation and dimensions is the same as for other feature types, so the Annotation and Dimensioning toolbars are not found in ArcGIS 10 since the tools have been integrated with the Create Features window. To create annotation, choose an annotation feature template on the Create Features window and a construction tool, such as Horizontal or Straight. When you click the feature template, the Annotation Construction window appears so you can enter the text of the new annotation, control how the text is placed, and set any additional symbol properties.\nFeature templates and editing commands\nFeature templates are also used when you are creating features with editing commands, such as Copy Parallel, Buffer, and Union on the Editor menu. In these cases, you set the feature template on the dialog box that opens when you click the command; you do not use the Create Features window. Choosing the feature template on the command’s dialog box specifies the target layer and the default attributes for the new features that will be created. To change the feature template, click the Template button to open the Select Feature Template window and click one of the available feature templates. Editing commands that can only output one type of geometry, such as Copy Parallel for lines, list templates just for that layer type. Commands that can output a variety of layer types list any existing templates that are the proper types.\nWhen copying and pasting features, a dialog box appears immediately after you click the Paste button, allowing you to set the target layer. When you paste, you can choose an actual layer, rather than a feature template, so you can retain the attribute values from the copied feature instead of using default attributes. If you are just editing an existing feature, you do not need to specify a feature template.\nTo learn more about editing in ArcGIS 10, see these help topics:\nContent provided by Rhonda", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Payment of holiday pay\nBasically, holidays are leisure time without pay. The objective of holiday pay is to compensate for the lack of pay when you take holidays.\nYou earn holiday pay entitlement the year prior to taking holiday, i.e. in the earning year. The calendar year you actually take holiday is called holiday year. If you have not worked in the earning year, you are nevertheless entitled to take holidays, however without holiday pay.\nWhen is holiday pay paid?\n- Holiday pay is paid in June, regardless of when the holiday is actually taken. For the exact payment date see the payroll schedule.\n- Also holiday pay for hourly paid salary, honorarium and overtime is paid in June.\n- When leaving UiO, holiday pay is paid on the ordinary payday following your last salary payment. If your new employer belongs to the state sector, accrued holiday pay is transferred to and paid by the new employer in the ordinary way.\nHow much holiday pay are you entitled to?\n- Holiday pay is calculated as 12% of the accrual basis.\n- The accrual basis includes all the amounts that have been disbursed to you as work remuneration (e.g. salary, sichness benefits) in the earning year. Disbursements concerning travel expenses, lodging and holiday pay are not included in this calculation.\n- The accrual basis is stated on the annual income statement of the earning year. The accrued holiday pay from last year and the current year is also stated on the current year's payslips.\nHoliday pay settlement in the June salary\n- Holidays are leisure time without pay. This implies that employers who pay 12 monthly salaries shall deduct salary when you take holidays. However, this is not done every time you take holidays but for the year as a whole in June where your salary is deducted for the number of holiday days you are obliged to take.\n- The entire holiday entitlement (25 work days for employees with a five-day work week) amounts to more than a calendar month (ca. 22 work days). Therefore, the holiday deduction normally is higher than the monthly salary.\n- Holiday pay normally exceeds holiday deduction. The gross salary in June normally is larger than a monthly salary.\n- No tax deductions are made on the holiday pay.\nCalculation example for June salary\n- It may be difficult to understand a June payslip as it differs quite a bit from an ordinary payslip. Here is an example of a typical June payslip with explanations (pdf).\n- The amount to be deducted as salary for each vacation day is calculated as the annual salary divided by the number of work days per week times 52. The annual salary is calculated on the basis of the June salary. For employees in a full-time position with a 5 day work week the daily salary amounts to the annual salary divided by 260 (5 days x 52 weeks).\n- Example: NN has a monthly salary of NOK 30,000 and accrued holiday pay equalling NOK 38,000. An amount to cover the full holiday period of 25 working days is deducted.\nGross monthly salary for June kr 30.000 Holiday pay (12 % of the accrual basis) kr 38.000 Deduction for 5 weeks' holiday\n(monthly salary in June x 12 months x 25 days / 5 days x 52 weeks)\n- kr 34.615 Gross salary in June kr 33.385\n- See more calculation examples for June salary.\nRules concerning employees over 60\n- As of the holiday year you turn 60 you are entitled to one extra week of holiday. You may demand to take these extra days off together, but not necessarily in connection with the rest of your holiday.\n- In order to cover the salary deduction for 5 extra vacation days, you receive 2.3 % extra holiday pay, rising the total rate to 14.3 %. However, the calculation and payment of holiday pay for the extra week is subject to a monetary limit of 6 times the National Insurance Scheme’s basic amount (G). For some people, therefore, the holiday pay does not fully cover the salary which is lost for this week. If this applies to you, you may choose not to take all 5 extra days of holiday.\n- Holiday pay relating to this extra week of holiday is subject to tax deduction.\n- Lack of accrual\n- All temporary and permanent employees who receive a monthly salary in June are basically subject to a deduction for the full (5-week) holiday. For this reason, the salary paid in June may be less than normal because salary may be deducted for more days than holiday pay is received for.\n- If you wish to reduce your holiday period due to a lack of accrual, you must submit a notification of reduced holiday (odt) to your local personnel officer (Norwegian) by early May. The local administration forwards the notification to the Payroll Office. To ensure proper processing, the notification must reach the Payroll Office at the latest by 13 May.\n- This also applies to you over 60 if your holiday pay does not cover the loss of salary for the 6th holiday week due to the holiday pay calculation basis limit of 6 times the National Insurance Scheme’s basic amount (G).\n- Employees who join or leave UiO in June\n- When leaving UiO, you must state whether you have any holiday left to take. If you leave in June, you must submit a notification of reduced holiday (odt) to your local personnel officer (Norwegian) by early May to ensure that the June salary will be correct.\n- If you join UiO in June, you must always give notice of vacation days.\n- If you join UiO after June, you must give notice if you are to take holiday during the year.\n- If holidays are not taken\n- Basically, holidays must be taken: The employer is obliged to see to it that holidays are taken and the employee is obliged to take holidays.\n- All holiday entitlement that has not been taken in the course of the holiday year must be transferred to the following holiday year.\n- Holiday entitlement must be taken as holidays and not as payment. It is legally not permitted to disburse holiday pay for holidays that have not been taken or transferred to the following holiday year. This applies also to transfer due to sickness or parental leave.\n- No tax deductions in June\nNote that it is the holiday pay that is not subject to tax deductions, not all payments in June. If the June salary consists of 3 weeks’ holiday pay and 2 weeks’ salary, advance tax is deducted from the 2 weeks’ salary.\n- Part-time employees\nIf you are a part-time employee and, due to a lack of accrual, wish to take less holiday, you must submit a notification of reduced holiday (odt) to your local personnel officer (Norwegian) by early May to ensure that the June salary will be correct..", "label": "No"}
{"text": "- Student life\n- Business & Research\nTo increase teacher confidence and skills to improve the quality of writing.\nThe school had a number of issues it wished to address during the ESCPD project, some of which had been raised in their school Ofsted report. In the longer term, the school wanted to ensure consistent policy and practice with regard to writing across the whole school, and to incorporate the targets for writing identified by their LEA literacy consultant. Moreover, the Foundation Stage Co-ordinator felt that parents needed clearer guidance about the school's philosophy of writing in the early years. Further up the school, it was felt that although the children often produced good pieces of writing, these sometimes lacked what the Literacy Co-ordinator termed the 'WOW' factor. It was also felt that constraints imposed by SATs limited the opportunities for a more creative approach to writing in the classroom including maximising cross-curricular links. Members of staff were also keen to look at the links between reading and writing and the use of teacher 'modelling', as the school Ofsted report had identified this as an area for further development. Following the completion of the Project Planning Agreement, a number of tutor-led sessions were identified which were intended to address the leaning outcomes which were agreed with the university.\nThe evaluation of the project proved very positive with all the teachers expressing confidence and enjoyment in their teaching of writing. The pupils were seen to be using the writing table freely, and teachers in Years 2 and 4 were encouraging the children to write freely at the beginning of a new topic. The FS teacher was extremely positive about the progress of her children, but felt that practice needed to be embedded before being shared with parents. Members of staff were engaged in carrying out interviews with the children, and were encouraging the children to set their own targets for writing. As there had been a good degree of innovative practice during then project, the staff felt that a framework was needed in which new practices could be incorporated and this would ensure continuity and progression throughout the school. There was a general consensus that the project had had a positive impact upon teaching, and that it had linked very well to the PLP programme run by the LEA. The response of the pupils had also been positive, though there was still much work to be done regarding targets and self-assessment sheets. This evaluation of the project provided important information which will be used in the second ESCPD project on writing, and this will enable the staff to assess progress over a period of time.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Here are 5 arguments showing why, despite more than 5 years of debating and controversy and the project still not being approved, Keystone XL remains in the best interest of the U.S.\nThe Keystone Pipeline System is an oil pipeline system in Canada and the United States. It runs from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in the United States in Steele City, Nebraska, Wood River and Patoka, Illinois, and in the Gulf Coast of Texas. Besides the synthetic crude oil and diluted bitumen from the oil sands of Canada, it carries as well light crude oil from the Williston Basin region in Montana and North Dakota. It is operational since June 2010.\n“eXport Limited” (XL) Extension\nThe Keystone XL is an extension of the existing Keystone pipeline. It starts from the same area in Alberta, Canada, as the original Keystone pipeline. The Canadian section would consist of 327 miles (526 km) of new pipeline. It would enter the U.S. at in Montana, and travel through the city of Baker, Montana, where American-produced oil would be added to the pipeline, then it would travel through South Dakota and Nebraska, where it would join the existing Keystone pipelines at Steele City, Nebraska. This extension has generated a controversy because of its routing over the top of the Ogallala Aquifer in Nebraska and also because of some allegation of conflicts of interest.\nThe Big 5\nKeystone XL will contribute more than $3 billion towards U.S. GDP. Taxes paid by the project will mostly benefit the towns and counties it passes through. Tax revenues for counties along the pipeline route is expected to increase by at least 10% for more than half of these counties. That means millions of dollars flowing into county budgets helping to fund community projects such as roads, bridges, schools and hospitals, as well as keeping property taxes down.\nEnergy Security and Independence\nKeystone XL connects the third largest oil reserves on the planet and the second largest oil-producing region in the United States with the largest most sophisticated refining hub in the Gulf Coast. This guarantees a safe and secure access to U.S. and Canadian crude oil and is key to ensuring long-term energy security for North American.\nAfter more than 5 years of wait, it is safe to say that the project is ready to come out of the ground. After approval, the construction it-self will put around 9,000 Americans straight to work. Looking at the big picture, in today’s economy and high unemployment rate, Keystone XL could ensure more than 42,000 direct and indirect jobs nationwide.\nSafety: #1 Priority\nTransCanada goal is clear: making Keystone XL is the safest pipeline in North America. Below is a list of some of the important safety features publicized by TransCanada.\n○ Horizontal Directional Drilling Technique (also “trenchless” technology)\n○ Puncture Resistance (utilization of high-quality carbon steel with special features that reduce corrosion and enhance strength and pliability)\n○ Corrosion-Resistant Coating (fusion-bonded epoxy)\n○ Fail-Safe Valve Actuators (Keystone XL Pipeline will be equipped with more fail-safe actuators mounted on valves placed at shorter intervals than most, other existing oil pipelines in the U.S. These shutoff valves will be placed every 20 miles, and extra valves automated with spring return actuators will also be placed, where required, to protect water crossings and other areas of high environmental or strategic importance. This fail-safe automation process can isolate any area within few tens of seconds)\n○ Satellite Monitoring and Leak Detection Systems (made of more than 13,500 sensors providing constant and detailed information about flow rates)\nFinally, it has been well-established that pipelines are, by far, the safest mode of transportation for oil and gas. Besides pipeline workers are less likely to be injured on the job and pipelines have fewer incidents per mile than trains and trucks.\nDespite the green polemic, the State Department’s Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, and several prior environmental impact statements altogether pointed toward the same conclusion: Keystone XL would have minimal influence on the ecosystem and environment around the pipeline. Moreover, it has been demonstrated by many scientific studies that Keystone XL and, in general, the oil sands have a marginal effect on global greenhouse gas emissions.", "label": "No"}

The Breton language is no longer forbidden in schools or hidden totally from public view, but France continues to withhold the resources necessary for its development as a healthy living language.\nThe ICDBL was established in 1975 in Brussels, Belgium, to support the repeated demands of Bretons that their native language be given the recognition and place in the schools, media and public life of Brittany that it needs to survive.

The U.S. ICDBL is a non-profit organization with the aim to help Americans learn about Brittany and the Breton language and culture, and to support the development of the Breton language education and culture in Brittany.\nAll U.S. ICDBL members receive the quarterly Newsletter called Bro Nevez (\"New Country\" in the Breton language). This 40-45 page newsletter (primarily in English with some Breton and French) includes articles about the Breton language and culture, book and music reviews, and short notes to introduce readers to Breton history, art, literature, economy, sports, nature and Brittany's Celtic cousins. Membership (or subscription to the newsletter only) costs US$20 per year for US residents and US$25 for non-US residents.\nThe U.S. ICDBL has also produced and continues to update a series of reports and pamphlets to introduce the Breton Language and learning materials for it, as well as Breton Music, history and Websites. And we serve as a \"clearinghouse\" for individuals seeking information on any topic related to Brittany and Breton culture.\nThe U.S. ICDBL provides Bro Nevez on a complimentary basis to a number of language and cultural organizations in Brittany; in some instances we are also very happy to establish an exchange of publications.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "|Main ingredients||Sugar, nuts, water, butter|\nBrittle is a type of sweet consisting of flat broken pieces of hard sugar candy with nuts mixed into it, such as pecans, almonds, or peanuts. It is usually less than 1 centimeter thick. It has many variations around the world, such as pasteli in Greece, sohan in Iran, croquant in France, alegría or palanqueta in Mexico, gozinaki in Georgia, gachak or gajak in Indian Punjab, chikki in other parts of India, kotkoti in Bangladesh, sohan halwa in Pakistan,[source?] huasheng tang (花生糖) in China, thua tat (ถั่วตัด) in Thailand and kẹo lạc in Vietnam. In parts of the Middle East, brittle is made with pistachios. Many Asian countries use sesame seeds and peanuts. Peanut brittle is the most popular brittle recipe in the United States. The term \"brittle\", was first printed in 1892 meaning food, though the candy itself has been around for much longer.\nUsually, a mixture of sugar and water is heated to approximately 300 °F (149 °C), though some recipes also use ingredients like glucose and salt in the first step. Nuts are mixed with the sugar, which is caramelized. At this point, spices, leavening agents, and often peanut butter or butter are added to the mixture. The hot candy is poured out onto a flat surface for cooling, traditionally a granite or marble slab, or a baking sheet. The hot candy can be smoothed to an equal thickness. When the brittle is cool enough to touch, it is broken into pieces or chunks.\nDifferent versions[change | change source]\nRelated pages[change | change source]\n- Almond roca\n- Florentine biscuit\n- Frankfurter Kranz\n- Gachak or gajak\n- Ka'í Ladrillo\n- Pé-de-moleque (in Brazil)\n- Turrón (in Spain)\nReferences[change | change source]\n- Kate Hopkins (2012).

{"text": "Introducing your dog to children\nEven if your dog has been used to children in the past, it will not be used to yours and will need time to get to know them. Prevent the dog from feeling overwhelmed by insisting that it be allowed to approach the children rather than the other way round. This will prevent the dog from feeling threatened and it is less likely to snap in self-defence. Children can encourage the dog to come to them by sitting down and offering a treat or a game with a toy. Ask them not to stare at the dog as this can be threatening.\nIf the dog goes to them they can stroke and pet it underneath its chin to start with rather than patting it on the head. Remember that a dog at face level with young children may seem quite frightening, so be prepared to move the dog away if the child becomes overwhelmed or if the dog is about to jump up. Dogs do not always appreciate being hugged or cuddled unless they have been familiarized with it from an early age. It is a great temptation for children to do this, especially if they have been used to doing it to a previous dog. You will need to slowly find out what your dog will accept, supervising constantly to ensure that no unacceptable behavior occurs on either side. After the initial introduction, ask the children to give the dog a bit of space and time to get comfortable. (A new game for the children, introduced at the same time as the new dog, can distract their attention for a while and enable the first few days to go more smoothly.)\nIf your children have not had a dog before, they may need to be taught to respect it and not treat it as a toy. High-pitched squeals can upset a dog until it is used to them, so try to keep play as calm as possible. Some dogs (collies for example) have a strong herding instinct and may nip at children's ankles, causing them to squeal and run away. This excites the dog,which will do it more and more. This type of behavior must be stopped at once, or it can become a habit. Children have to learn not to tease or bully the dog; the dog has to learn not to jump up at the children, be too boisterous or nip them in play. It is important to supervise all their activities until they have both learned the rules . It is not advisable to leave children under the age of ten alone with any dog. Be especially careful with older dogs and children. A dog whose vision or hearing isi mpaired may be startled by sudden approaches and may bite to defend itself. Explain the difficulties the dog is having to the children so they learn to approach more gently.\nIntroducing your dog to other dogs\nIt is best to introduce dogs on neutral territory so take both dogs out for a long walk together. The interest of the walk will make the introduction less intense and they can get to know each other as they walk. If you need to use a car to take them home, keep them separate until you arrive. When you arrive home, take them into the yard, allowing the new dog to go in first and let them run around together for a few minutes. Before allowing them into the house, remove anything that they are likely to fight over, such as toys or bones. Attention from members of the family may also be a resource to fight over, so ignore both dogs until they have settled down. Try to ignore any small disagreements and scuffles.\nIf you see both dogs stiffening up and staring at each other, distract both dogs by pretending something more interesting is going on elsewhere. Be ready to lead the dogs away and isolate each of them until they have calmed down. Extra care should be taken when introducing a large dog to a small one since the damage inflicted during a fight can be much worse for the smaller dog. Usually introductions go smoothly and the new dog is treated, and acts, like a visitor. The hierarchy between them is sorted out during the first few weeks and disagreements are possible during this time. Try to avoid situations that may cause aggravation. Feed them apart until they are used to each other, separate them before answering the door and do not make such a fuss of the new dog that your old dog feels excluded. Care should be taken not to leave them alone together until it is obvious that they have become friends.\nIntroducing your dog to cats\nEven if your dog has previously lived with a cat, new cats may not necessarily be tolerated. If they are to become friends it is essential that the dog is not allowed to frighten the cat. This means having the dog on a lead and under control when they are introduced. Let the cat have the freedom to get out of the way or approach if it wishes. The cat will probably need time to assess the dog before it gets brave enough to approach and make friends. For this reason you will need to supervise all their encounters for several weeks to ensure a successful outcome. Do not allow the dog to give chase at any time since this will upset the relationship and it will be much longer before they become used to each other. Care should be taken not to leave a cat and a dog alone together until it is obvious that they have become friends.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "A photographer’s main instrument is his eyes. Strange as it may seem, many photographers choose to use the eyes of another photographer, past or present, instead of their own. Those photographers are blind” -Manuel Álvarez Bravo\nManuel Álvarez Bravo is probably the most influential photographer in the 20th century in Mexico and Latin America.\nManuel Álvarez Bravo’s photography career spanned from the late 1920s to the 1990s. It formed in the decades after the Mexican Revolution (1920s to 1950s) when there was significant creative output in the country, much of it sponsored by the government wanting to promote a new Mexican identity based on both modernity and the country’s indigenous past.\nAlthough he has been photographing in the late 1920s, he became a freelance photographer full-time in 1930, quitting his government job. That same year, Tina Modotti was deported from Mexico for political activities and she left Alvarez Bravo her camera and her job at Mexican Folkways magazine. For this publication, Alvarez Bravo began photographing the work of the Mexican muralists and other painters. During the rest of the 1930s, he established his career. He met photographer Paul Strand in 1933 at the set of Redes and worked with him briefly. In 1938, he met French Surrealist artist André Breton, who promoted Alvaréz Bravo’s work in France, exhibiting it there. Later, Breton asked for a photograph for the cover of the catalog for an exhibition in Mexico. Alvarez Bravo created “La buena fama durmiendo” (The good reputation sleeping), which Mexican censors rejected due to nudity. The photograph would be reproduced many times after that nevertheless.\nBelow some of my favorite Álvarez Bravo´s images that have inspired many photographers not just in Mexico but around the world:\nGood Reputation Sleeping (La Buena Fama Durmiendo) photographed by Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1938-1939) is an example of his surrealist work. In 1938 André Breton requested Álvarez Bravo a photograph for the front cover of a catalogue for an exhibition he was organizing for the Galería de Arte Mexicano in Mexico City, the photograph was rejected by Mexican censors as it contained nudity.\n“The Daydreamer” by Manuel Álvarez Bravo\nThe Daydreamer (El ensueño) was photographed by Álvarez Bravo in 1931, according to a historian the idea the artist may have considered while making this portrait of young girl standing on a balcony with the sunlight innocently hugging her right shoulder was to guess the girl’s thoughts, as she stood immersed in her own thoughts, clearly unaware of the photographer presence however vulnerable to his camera. Obviously, the world of dreams was very important for Álvarez Bravo and the surrealists whom were a great influence in his work.\nThe crouched ones by Manuel Álvarez Bravo\nThis image was photographed by Álvarez Bravo sometime between 1932 and 34, it depicts five workers from behind, each seated on a stool, all chained together at the base, within the storefront of a typical Mexican modest lunch counter (comedor), the sun bears down obliquely producing some dramatic, even ominous shadows upon an ordinary scene.\nThis image was taken by Álvarez Bravo in Cuyutlán in the state of Colima in México in 1939. The trunk at the based of the post suggest a writhing human form collapsed as in sorrow at the foot of Jesus´ cross. Elena Poniatowska suggested that the drama of the picture lies in the quality of the driftwood, as though “polished by the sea.

{"text": "I wandered lonely as a cloud\nThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,\nWhen all at once I saw a crowd,\nA host, of golden daffodils;\nBeside the lake, beneath the trees,\nFluttering and dancing in the breeze...\nWilliam Wordsworth, The Daffodils\nWhere is a cottage garden to be found? For certain, Dove Cottage, home to William Wordsworth, one of the Lake Poets of the 19th century.\n|English Cottage Garden, photo Guido Gerding, wikipedia|\nSome say that the cottage garden originated in the time of the plagues which entered England in 1337 and took the lives of one third to one half of the population, and continued at intervals until 1665. One can visit the plague pits outside Winchester, England at St. Catherine's Hill to see where victims, too numerous for the consecrated ground of the church, were buried. Villagers, taking advantage of the depopulation of the countryside, left crowded cities and villages for greater peace in the country. Others say that landed estates built cottages for the tenants who tended the farms on the estates. Finally, there are those who say that it was the rich landowner himself seeking escape from the maddening crowds and the confines of city life.\nThe cottage garden is designed to appear artless, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of mass plantings and carpets of color, the cottage garden is an artfully contrived irregularity that simulates the wonder of nature. Let neighboring plants and flowers live in harmonious simplicity. Lawns are replaced by tufts of grass, paths of stone that meander, and plantings of flowers that go right up to the edge of the path. Orderliness is found not in the mass, but in the microcosm with all its variety and contradiction.\nOH there is blessing in this gentle breeze, A visitant that while it fans my cheek Doth seem half-conscious of the joy it brings From the green fields, and from yon azure sky. Whate'er its mission, the soft breeze can come To none more grateful than to me; escaped From the vast city, where I long had pined A discontented sojourner: now free, Free as a bird to settle where I will. Wordsworth, The Prelude, introduction\nThose that live in antiquarian libraries and study the art of the cottage garden suppose that the cottage garden had its roots in the Elizabethan Age. Then, they suppose, poetry and prose lead to experimentation in planting. Pshaw! I cannot believe that.\nThere have always been nature lovers and certainly the cottager of earlier days must have found beauty in the occasional wild flower growing in between the vegetables. The old lady who lived on the outskirts of town knew the medicinal value of wild flowers and dispensed her magic to those who came seeking help. And even the villager who found safety behind the town walls sought to build his own castle and accompanying gardens where he and she could take delight. Thus, a pot might contain a world of color and smell. A neighboring pot an herb for stew. Another, a cure for a tooth that aches. Necessity demanded vegetables for nourishment, but mankind also needs the beauty of a rose to inspire the soul.\nEnglish designer William Morris was a proponent of the cottage garden and incorporated elements of flowers and trees in many of his patterns. Gustav Stickley was also a proponent of the honest and simple life of the craftsman home and believed in extolling the benefits of nature. The Stickley rug collection contains many beautiful hand woven Nepalese wool rugs, including Cottage Garden and English Garden.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Samuel Plimsoll and the development of vessel Load Line legislation\nSamuel Plimsoll and the development of vessel Load Line legislation.\nHave you ever looked at a ship hull and wondered what the lines were called? David McNeil a retired merchant seaman can answer this question\nThe marks halfway along the hull indicate how much load the vessel can carry, it may come as some surprise that the man who had the idea faced lawsuits from shipowners anxious to stop him because they were convinced he would put them out of business or leave them facing financial ruin.\nThe enormous loss of life sustained by the seafaring fraternity of years ago was not, it seems, at the forefront of their minds.\nA stone bust of Samuel Plimsoll stands on one side of the river in Bristol, gazing with petrified authority upon the graving dock where the SS Great Britain sits in its state-of-the-art preservation dock on the other side. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the SS Great Britain does not have any load-line markings on the hull.\nSamuel Plimsoll was active in this area during the transition from wooden hulls to steel. The full transition is wood to composite, composite to iron, iron to steel. Reproductions of drawings of the Cutty Sark in my possession show a vessel built in 1869 with tonnage marks in the form of the first Plimsoll line on the hull. These appear in the forerunner of the general arrangement drawing that became standard in vessel design. To anyone looking at them now the lines of the vessel can be clearly discerned along with the dimensions that can be calculated from the scales drawn out.\nBefore I go any further I think it right to identify some of the lines appearing either side of the original, circular, plimsoll mark. They are as follows.\n- Tropical Fresh.\n- Salt Water.\n- North Atlantic.\nWNA. Winter North Atlantic.\nThe letters that sit on the line either side of the circle denote the Classification Society that originally assigned the Freeboard. Freeboards may, from time to time, need to be re-assigned. Here are some instances where this may be necessary.\n- Vessel lengthening.\n- Change of vessel type.\n- Change of trade from Coastal to Foreign-Going and vice versa.\nYou will clearly see that the vessel will float at different draughts in different water types and temperatures. In Plimsoll’s time this was not widely understood.\nSamuel Plimsoll’s career as an MP stands out as an example of the sort of thing that statesmen politicians ought to do. Engage in the development of workable legislation that improves the lot of the greater number of working men and women.\nIn the same way that the first Factory Act sought to improve the working conditions of apprentices (Children; slaves had been liberated by this time) Plimsoll’s work sought to increase the chances of survival of the seafarers who either transported the wealth of the nation to client states or the resources to be transformed into that wealth. Both the Factory Act and the Merchant Shipping Act had small beginnings. They both grew to encompass huge numbers of sections with the passage of time. Following the Napoleonic Wars, Britain became more dependent upon sea trade and the families with shipyards in their inventory sought to make a killing.\nPlimsoll’s primary concern was with the vessels that carried timber as deck cargo. That the holds were full of the same material was neither here nor there to the shipowners of the time. The timber became wet in transit, vessels capsized and went down. It may have looked perfectly in order on departure.\nWithout too much detail, the timber became heavier when wet and this caused a reduction of the transverse metacentric height. This leads to instability. Roll too far in one direction and……..oblivion.\nIn a purely academic sense, it could be argued that if all it took to cause the loss of the vessel was a deck cargo getting damp, the metacentric height may have been too small when the cargo was loaded dry in the first instance.\nAt one point in the uninformed social arguments about the Herald of Free Enterprise loss in 1987, it was said that the quantity of water on the car deck was purely academic. Its presence in any depth may have been sufficient to cause the calamity.\nThe arguments thrown at Samuel Plimsoll by the shipowners centred upon one premise.\n“How do YOU know,” they said “just WHERE that line should be?”\nSamuel Plimsoll had NO idea at all.\nThe fixing of load lines at this time was purely arbitrary. Calculations that could establish, either by mathematical evidence or deduction, where it should be were conspicuous by their absence.\nThe loss of any vessel, for the ship owner, was not of any great consequence. The insurance paid out.\nAt this point we should all make a cry of lamentation, great wailing and gnashing of teeth in support of this self-serving, self-interested club the while wearing sack cloth and ashes.\nLloyd’s of London had what some might describe as dodgy beginnings. It was a coffee house in London which served the new and fashionable beverage that had caused so much trouble in Europe after the Moors abandoned the siege of Vienna leaving sacks of beans behind them. The Viennese picked them up, sniffed them, ground them and stewed them. Bach composed a Cantata drawing attention to the slightly narcotic properties. The Coffee Cantata is worth a listen, has a wonderful musical resolution to the counterpoint in the best of Baroque styles without the froth.\nThe coffee in Lloyd’s was stewed to oblivion and served to men in powdered wigs smoking clay pipes while discussing the insurance risks on vessels trading in and out of London. They had classifications which, in altered guise, still hold true today. They were Good, Middling and Bad. These were assigned according to information received, known or suspected. It could be anything from the vessel’s observed condition to the quantity of liquor loaded for the Master’s consumption before the voyage.\nOne event that did concentrate minds was the transitions I mentioned earlier. The transition to iron hulls was marked with an increased number of losses. Wooden vessels would creak and make other noises which could be heard and this was a sure way of knowing whether to lower sail. Ship handler vocabulary was peppered with all manner of adjectives that described how the ship sounded in a seaway.\nIron vessels just cracked and that was it. They went down almost without warning. Plimsoll saw these transitions and events with mounting alarm.\nAs the new materials became more common it became clear that iron and steel used in ship construction was subject to something called stress and while metal fatigue was a condition yet to be better understood, vessel designers and builders had to design new ways of putting strength into their products and vessel framing began to be adopted.\nPlimsoll’s activity led to the first Merchant Shipping Act of 1876. This made a load line compulsory on all foreign going ships. This was a circle with a diameter drawn horizontally and extended outside the circle as illustrated. The idea was that the water, when loaded, would simply not reach this line.\nFrom one book in my possession, here is the original wording.\n“That the centre of the disc shall indicate the maximum load line in salt water to which the owner intends to load that vessel for that voyage.”\nTwo points emerge from this. The Owner is now legally liable. The second is that the load line makes no allowance for a change of the water during the voyage.\nAt this time, rules were not in existence to determine the ‘right and safe’ position for the load line at a defined position as prescribed by government rules. In other words, the new Act made no mention of HOW the load line position was to be calculated. Simply that there had to be one on either side. But…….where?\nIt is worth quoting the lines from my book on Load Line calculations, published in 1945 and used by my Father from 1950.\n“To restore to life the dead bones of history from the valley of despair would only still further confuse the mind of the reader whose business brings him into contact with Government Regulations.”\nWho said books on topics as dry as this were not entertaining?\nThis is a tacit admission that the history of Load Lines is tortuous so, we will keep the story as simple as it can be made.\nThen comes an astonishing admission.\n“The Load Line Regulations have no claim to be based upon scientific investigations.”\nAnd this is a statement made against a backdrop of increasing use of mathematical analysis for the solution of many problems, even in the 19thcentury?\nInitially, there were Freeboard Tables drawn up in 1886. The requirements for the load line, as rules in some form, did not become compulsory until 1890. In other words, guidance was available before the rules. These rules were later to be incorporated into an International Load Line Convention.\nThe term “Freeboard” is the distance at longitudinal ‘midships from the Freeboard Deck to the water line. This is the first mention of a datum, in any form, about which Plimsoll could not be clear.\nBy this time, Lloyds Register of Shipping had clear ideas about the dimensions to be used. Even here, this is still a huge assumption.\n“The Freeboard tables originally introduced in 1886 were formulated on the assumption that the ship was strong enough for the freeboards assigned, and that the scantlings used were in accordance with the 1885 Rules of Lloyd’s Register for the 100A, spar or awning Class, as the case might be.”\nThe term “Scantling” is a curious word which is still used in this context and means the dimensions of principal constructional features. The word origin is possibly Norse. Not even my huge Chambers Dictionary lists it.\nTwo points come from the quote above. The assumption is that the vessel is strong enough and not “scant” in its constructional features. The second is that the vessel has been built to a set of Scantlings that has been established over many years of experience. By now you may have some idea how all of this came about. The scantlings used are the first indication of what we now understand to be the Construction Rules for a vessel. Every vessel type has them. Even Cross Channel Ferries.\nYou may imagine then, the difference between these rules for a passenger liner and a bulk carrier of a similar tonnage. This was why the then Board of Trade wound up with egg all over its face in connection with the Titanic. The Clearance Certificate for the vessel did not properly reflect the vessel type and, as such, the vessel was found wanting with respect to Lifeboat provision.\nBy now it is clear that the business of load line assignment was acquiring a vocabulary all of its own that was never heard in Plimsoll’s time. Out of it comes one term for which he must have been clutching during his arguments with Ship owners, anxious to stop him.\nThe Freeboard Deck is the deck from which the load line is measured when assigned.\nFrom my text, here is how Freeboard Deck is defined.\n“It is the deck from which freeboard is measured. If the deck is continuous, it can be identified as a freeboard deck. If not, it must have permanent means of closure for all openings where the deck is exposed to weather. This includes all such openings as hatches, water tight doors that open outwards, that would permit persons to enter parts of the vessel from exposed decks.”\nIn summary, the work of Plimsoll not only formed the first legislation on Merchant Ships in respect of safety but it also led to the first Construction Rules for vessel types to which designers had to conform. It also led to the first considerations on vessel stability and ensuring that guidance was in place that would prevent the vessel leaving port in an unstable condition or reaching that condition at some point in the voyage. This is called the angle of vanishing stability which is the angle of heel at which the Righting Moment, the lever that restores the vessel to upright, vanishes totally.\nSo we have one Member of Parliament with a conscience and a bunch of men in powdered wigs to thank for the increase in Maritime Safety. Not bad really.\nThis does not alter the fact that we still lose ships and the last time I looked a Bulk carrier was lost at the rate of one per month with all hands. Ferries remain, the world over, among the most likely vessels to capsize or sink for one reason or another.\nWritten by David McNeil", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The ongoing changes to the Earth’s climate will have far reaching effects on the future availability of freshwater resources. Here are five ways climate change will affect the world’s freshwater resources.\nRising Sea Level\nAccording to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, rising sea levels can turn coastal aquifers into saltwater and cause problems for the local water infrastructure (this is known as saltwater intrusion). An example is the Biscayne aquifer that supplies water to the Florida Keys. Rising sea levels would add saltwater to the Biscayne aquifer, making it saline.\nAccording to NASA climate modeling, the increasing temperature will make a megadrought highly likely in the Southwest before the end of the century. The researchers estimate a 80% chance that there will be a drought spanning multiple decades in the Southwestern United States which would cause devastating shortages in freshwater supplies.\nChanges in Snowfall/Rainfall\nIncreased temperatures result in decreased snowfall in the mountains which lead to less freshwater flow to rivers. The California snow pack is already at the lowest levels on record and this has put significant stress on the state’s reservoirs. Higher temperatures also lead to increased evaporation which means more water in the atmosphere and less rainfall in some areas. Climate models predict a strengthening of existing precipitation patterns, meaning dry areas will get drier.\nClimate change is projected to increase major storms and flooding especially in the Midwest and Northeast. Flooding can damage the water infrastructure that treats and distributes freshwater. It can also overflow sewer systems and cause rivers to come in contact with pollutants, both which can contaminate freshwater resources.\nSince glaciers provide a major source of freshwater, shrinking glaciers will reduce the availability to accessible freshwater. Scientists at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union said that glaciers in parts of the Canadian Rockies will shrink to 5 to 20 percent of their current size. Glaciers are like reservoirs that store water in the winter and release it in the summer. They currently store about 69% of the world’s freshwater. More than one-sixth of the world population relies on glaciers and seasonal snow packs for water resources. If all land ice melted, the sea level would rise 230 feet globally.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "On the one hand, the signal isolator can solve differences of ground reference points when the ground loop and equipment are interconnected.

{"text": "Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), an economically important vegetable, is widely grown around the world with leading tomato producing countries in China, the United States, Italy and Spain . Although most of tomatoes are field-grown, protected production systems (greenhouse) have increased significantly in recent years, including in North America . Pepino mosaic is one of several emerging viral diseases that seriously constrain the profitable production of tomatoes worldwide .\nPepino mosaic virus (PepMV) from the genus Potexvirus in the family Alphaflexiviridae was first reported to infect pepino (S. muricatum L.) in 1980 . This virus was not considered an issue until 20 years later when it was first reported to infect greenhouse tomatoes in the Netherlands . Since then, the disease has become widespread in Europe [6–14]. PepMV has also caused serious problems on greenhouse tomatoes in North America [15–18] and in South America [19–21]. Furthermore, this virus was detected in China , Syria , and South Africa . Thus, PepMV has become one of the most economically important viruses infecting greenhouse tomatoes worldwide [3, 25, 26]. The typical disease symptoms on tomatoes include mosaic, yellow patches, necrotic lesions and uneven ripening of fruits resulting in marbling or flaming in appearance on mature fruits. It was estimated that the poor quality of PepMV-infected fruits could reduce tomato market value by up to 36% .\nThree major genotypes of PepMV (namely EU, US1 and CH2), which share only 78-82% genomic nucleotide sequence identity, have been reported [9, 10, 16, 21, 25, 26]. Even though a greater level of PepMV genetic diversity was initially recognized in the American continents [16, 21], further population genetic analysis in Canada and the U.S. showed a predominant EU genotype, with only a small fraction of field isolates in US1 and CH2 genotypes . However, several studies in Europe in recent years demonstrated that the prevalent PepMV genotype has shifted from a predominant EU [11, 28] to CH2 [14, 29–31]. Recent outbreaks of pepino disease in association with the CH2 genotype in broader geographic regions in the world, including the Middle East  and South Africa , raised concerns of possible seed transmission. Although PepMV on tomato is localized on seed coat (testa) and not in embryo, mechanical transmission from a contaminated seed could easily induce a new infection . A low rate (0.026%) of PepMV seed transmission in tomato has already been observed . These results on seed transmission demonstrated the importance of selecting and planting tomatoes from PepMV-tested negative seed lots. With intensive cultural practices, as required under a greenhouse tomato production system (i.e., grafting, de-leafing, inter-cropping and bumble bee pollination), even with a small number of PepMV-infected plants serving as sources of initial inocula could result in a serious disease epidemic. Thus, a timely detection and rapid genotype determination would be a prerequisite for deploying effective strategies in disease management.\nCurrently, several molecular-based methods have been developed to determine the genetic diversity of PepMV, including restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) [34, 35], reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequencing [14, 17], real-time RT-PCR , and hybridization . All such molecular methods required some specialized instruments or sophisticated laboratory conditions, making it difficult to apply for field analysis. With recent trends in genotype shifting in Europe, growers in North America are concerned about their crop’s health status and would request additional sequencing to determine the specific genotype . Although this method is accurate, it is costly and time consuming. Thus, we were interested in developing a rather simple and quick reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for efficient identification of PepMV genotypes. In recent years, the RT-LAMP technology [37, 38] has been successfully applied for plant virus and viroid detection [39–47]. In an effort to understand the current genetic diversity and evolution of PepMV in North America, we established a surveillance system with assistance from participating growers in Canada, Mexico and the U.S.A. on sample collection. We developed and used LAMP to monitor the presence and distribution of PepMV genetic diversity in North America.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Livingston Surname Meaning, History & Origin\nLivingston Surname Meaning\nThe origins of the Livingston surname in Scotland are from the place-name Livingston in West Lothian, first founded by a man named Leving in the 12th century.\nEarly Livingston spellings were various. Livingston and Livingstone are the main variants today. Livingston prevails in America. But Livingstone outnumbers Livingston in Scotland and elsewhere.\nLivingston Surname Resources on\n- Clan Livingstone.\nLivingstone Lowland and Highland history.\n- Clan Livingstone\nLivingstone clan website.\n- Livingstons of Callendar\nLivingstons in Stirlingshire.\n- David Livingstone’s Ancestry\nAncestry of the African explorer.\n- The Livingston Family\nLivingstons of New York.\nLivingston and Livingstone Surname Ancestry\nScotland. Livingstons in Scotland divide into Lowland and Highland Livingstons. Both Lowland and Highland Livingstons have believed that there was some linkage between the two groups. But none has really been found.\nLowland. The line from Leving at Livingston in West Lothian descended:\n- to Alexander Livingston, the first around 1250 to take the name of Livingston\n- to his grandson William Livingston, the first of the Livingstons of Livingston\n- and to Sir Bartholomew Livingston, the last of these Livingstons, who died at the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513.\nHowever, another line had sprung from Sir William Livingston who had accompanied King David II on his expedition to England in 1346. Afterwards he acquired the barony of Callendar in Stirlingshire whose heiress he had married.\nSir James Livingston of Callendar was created Lord Livingston in 1458. His descendant Alexander was a guardian to the young Mary Queen of Scots a century later and his daughter Mary was one of the four Marys in her retinue.\nA later Alexander Livingston became the Earl of Linlithgow in 1600, a title that was then forfeited when his descendant James Livingston came out on the Jacobite side in the Rising of 1715. This Livingston dynasty ended conclusively with the second Jacobite defeat in 1746. The family story was told in Edwin Livingston’s 1920 book The Livingstons of Callendar.\nSubsidiary branches of the line were those at Kilsyth, Dunipace and Westquarter. One line led to the Rev. John Livingston at Jedbergh on the Scottish Borders and to his son Robert who founded the Livingston family in New York.\nHighland. These Livingstons originated from the Isle of Lismore and the districts of Lorn and Appin in Argyllshire on the Scottish west coast. Their original Gaelic name was MacLeay from Mac an Leigh, meaning “son of the physician.”\nIn 1641 James Livingston of Stirling, Baron of Biel, was granted a lease of the lands and the rights of the bishopric of Argyll and the Isles. In this capacity he resided for a while at Achandu castle at Lismore. It was probably then that the MacLeays adopted the name of Livingston.\nThey became the hereditary keepers of the crozier of the Bishops of Lismore (from St. Moluag who had died in 592) and granted the title of the Baron of Bachuil. But they were never a clan of much wealth or power, being always dependent on more prosperous neighbors to lease or croft them land to farm or graze their cattle.\nOf descendants, Donald Livingstone was one of a contingent of Livingstones guarding Charles Stewart, the Laird of Ardsheal, at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. He rescued the white banner of the Stewarts from the battlefield and successfully returned it to Appin. More noteworthy later was Dr. David Livingstone, the famed African explorer. There were many who emigrated.\nIreland. The Livingstons in Ireland were a Scottish implant. One family arrived in county Down from Ayrshire as early as 1607 as part of the Ulster plantation. Others came from Stirlingshire. The Rev. Henry Livingston was the long-serving minister of the Ballynahinch Presbyterian church.\n“This Henry Livingston was the first stated minister of Ballynahinch after the year 1641. He supplied the congregations of Drumbo, Ballynahinch and Drumcaw. To this most laborious office he was ordained in the year 1655; and he discharged its duties for the space of forty two years with great diligence and fidelity.”\nWilliam Livingston was a Lisburn merchant in the late 1600’s and a ruling elder at Ballynahinch.\nAmerica. The Livingstons were one of the prominent families of early America.\nNew York. Robert Livingston from Scotland, exiled to Holland for religious reasons, set sail for New York in 1674 and – with his Dutch connections – soon established his presence in its business and political circles.\nHe was to be the forebear of the Livingston family that would remain pre-eminent in New York through the colonial era and beyond. His line ran:\n- through his elder son Philip Livingston who inherited the family estate of Livingston Manor in Sullivan county. His descendants included a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a Governor of New Jersey, and a US Supreme Court Justice.\n- through his younger son Robert Livingston who made his home at Clermont in nearby Columbia county. His descendants included the US Minister to France who negotiated the Louisiana Purchase and his son a Louisiana Senator.\n- and though his nephew Robert Livingston the Younger who arrived in America in 1687 and later was the mayor of Albany. His son John was a Montreal merchant.\nElsewhere. There were of course other Livingstons in America.\nJohn Livingston came to the Poropotank Creek area in Virginia from Scotland in 1651. Later Livingstones – brothers William, John and George – were plantation owners in King and Queen county in the 1750’s. Lucille Coone’s 1990 book The Livingstons of Virginia covered this line. There was another Virginia line of Livingstons from Botetourt county that migrated to Alabama in the early 1800’s.\nAndrew Livingston was Scots Irish from county Down. He arrived in Pennsylvania sometime in the 1750’s. His son George settled in Fayette county and later Livingstons moved to Ohio. Adam Aaron Livingston was also Scots Irish. He came to Virginia in the 1760’s and was the forebear of the Livingstons of Greene county, Georgia. There are four different Livingston Bibles recording the 19th century descendants of this family.\nCanada. Many of the Livingstons coming to Canada were Highland Livingstons from Argyllshire. Their main arrival point was Nova Scotia.\nNova Scotia. Daniel Livingston came there with the British army as early as 1757 and stayed. He was later to be found in Leeds county, Ontario where he was killed by a falling tree in 1793.\nAngus Livingston was a pioneer settler in Cape Breton, at Big Bras D’Or on Boularderie island, in the early 1800’s. He was a boat-builder there. Eleven Livingstones – great grandsons of Angus – fought in World War One and have been commemorated in the local Presbyterian church. Their numbers included “Wild Bill” Livingston who was awarded the Military Cross twice.\nAlso at Cape Breton, in this case along the Mull river, were John and Catharine Livingston from Mull in Argyllshire. They had arrived there in the early 1820’s.\nElsewhere. There were some Livingstones in Canada who had or claimed a kinship with the explorer David Livingstone. The most definite connection was with David’s older brother John who had come to Lanark township, Ontario from Blantyre in the 1840’s. He later moved to Listowel in Perth county where he died in 1899.\nNot related was James Livingston who grew up in East Kilbride near Blantyre in Lanarkshire, the son of a weaver. He departed for Waterloo county, Ontario in 1856. There he prospered in the flax industry. His former home in Wilmot township, Castle Kilbride, has been designated a Canadian National Historic Site.\nAustralia and New Zealand. A number of Livingstons had worked in the slate quarries of Balachuilish in western Argyllshire in the early/mid 1800’s. James Ban Livingston from Glencoe set off for Australia with his wife Isabelle on the Marco Polo in 1852. Charles Livingston emigrated to New Zealand with his wife Dorothy in 1860. They settled in Forest Hill, Southland.\nLivingston Surname Miscellany\nLivingston Origins. The source of the Livingston name is the place – a town in West Lothian near Edinburgh. The town’s name was derived from a man named (in Latin) Levingus who lived in the early 12th century and gave his name to Villa Leving or Leving’s Town.\nSome believe that Leving was an Anglo-Saxon or continental European, possibly from Hungary, who came to Scotland with Queen Margaret after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. But the sound “Levin” can be a name in many languages.\nMore traditionally it was believed that Levingus had Gaelic Highland roots in the clan Donn Sleibhe (Dunsleeve, Don Levy, MacOnlea or MacLea). A diminutive form of the personal name Donn Sleibhe (brown of the hill), is Leibhin, pronounced levin, thus Leibhin’s Town.\nThe Gaelic name of Livingston now is Baile Dhun Leibhe (the town of Dunlevin). Many members of the clan Maclea eventually took the surname Livingstone up, as if it were an English translation of their Gaelic name.\nLivingston and Livingstone. The early spellings were various. Turstanus Leuig was the son of Leving who had founded the town of Livingston (then spelt Leuiggestun) in West Lothian. Other early recordings included William Levestone who had witnessed a grant by the Earl of Levenax. In 1296 Sir Archibald de Levingestoune rendered homage to the English king in the Ragman’s Rolls. And it was James Leyffingstoun as spelt who was appointed the Great Chamberlain of Scotland in 1456.\nBy then Livingston was generally the main spelling, although Livingstone with the addition of the “e” was becoming evident by the 16th century. The Livingstone spelling preference became noticeable during the 19th century, thanks perhaps to the popularity of Dr. David Livingstone the famous African explorer.\n|Scottish Census Numbers||Livingston||Livingstone||Total|\n|1841||2,651 (85%)||483 (15%)||3,134|\n|1881||2,268 (55%)||1,827 (45%)||4,095|\n|1911||1,756 (35%)||3,266 (65%)||5,022|\nToday the Livingstone numbers are larger, except in America.\nReader Feedback – Livingstone in Stirling. Anyone have info on my ancestor Margaret Livingstone who was born in 1623 at Saint Ninians in Stirling? She married Alexander Jaffray, born in 1619, in 1644 and farmed at Meikle Canglour, Stirling.\nRod Jeffery (firstname.lastname@example.org).\nThe End of the Livingston Dynasty at Callendar. In 1721 Lady Ann Livingston, daughter of the exiled James Livingston, had been allowed to rent the house and lands formerly held by her family. She had earlier married William Boyd, Earl of Kilmarnock, and he now took up residence at Callendar House.\nBoth she and her husband supported Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, when he arrived in Scotland in 1745. Things began well enough. Bonnie Prince Charlie passed the night in Callendar House in September of that year on his way to a triumph at Prestonpans and a rapturous reception in Edinburgh.\nBut the failed march south to Derby and the retreat back to Scotland signalled the beginning of the end of the Stewart cause. At Culloden in April came final defeat and with it the capture and execution of Lord Kilmarnock. Lady Ann left Falkirk and the Livingston dynasty there effectively came to an end.\nDavid Livingstone’s Ancestry. David Livingstone was born in 1813 in the Lanarkshire mill town of Blantyre. At the age of ten he was working twelve-hour days with his brother John as a piecer in the cotton mill.\nFrom these unpromising beginnings he was able to attend medical school and be accepted as a Christian missionary. He made his first visit to Africa in 1840 and was to spend the rest of his life there as a missionary and explorer. He was lost and then found by Henry Stanley in their famous meeting on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in 1871.\nWhat were his origins? An 1891 letter from his older brother John Livingstone in Canada stated that their grandfather Neil Livingstone and his wife Mary Morrison left the island of Ulva with their family around 1792 and settled in Blantyre.\nThere is no information that survives regarding the grandfather Neil Livingston’s baptismal date, although there is an assumption by some that he was born about 1745. This is nothing more than an educated guess based upon the notion that Dr. Livingstone’s great grandfather Neil was killed in 1746 at the Battle of Culloden when his grandfather was a young child.\nAnother account has this Neil as the youngest son of the Baron of Bachuil who lived on the island of Lismore. He was said to have enlisted as a Jacobite soldier during the Rebellion, survived the Battle of Culloden, and then made his way back home. He was unable to safely return to Lismore, so he eventually ended up on Ulva.\nToday the tradition continues in Mull that the old Livingstone family of Dr. Livingstone lived at a croft on the southern shores of Ulva. The sad reality of Ulva, as elsewhere in western Argyll, is that the island was subject to clearances in the early 1800’s. By the time Dr. Livingstone arrived by yacht in 1864 looking for relatives there were no traces of Livingstone kin to be found.\nThe Baron of Bachuil at Lismore. Niall Livingstone, Baron of Bachuil and the chief of Clan MacLea, is the only person other than the Queen whose passport and title (which precedes the kingdom of Scotland) are granted “by the Grace of God.” His family has lived on the island of Lismore in the Inner Hebrides for 1,500 years.\nHe is also the Abbot of Lismore and the holder of the oldest existing church office in Britain – as the keeper of the Bachuil Mor (St. Moluag’s staff) which is renowned for having miraculous powers.\nBut in 2017 the Baron put his home on the island, Bachuil House, up for sale, before later agreeing to a community buyout. The Baron said:\n“If this becomes the first step to creating what I call the Lismore dream, it really could be the best thing to happen to the island since the arrival of St. Moluag in 562.“\nLismore has 185 residents today and a high proportion of older people. The Community Trust sees it as important to make improvements that would encourage more young families to live there.\nThe New York Livingston Family\nRev. John Livingston in Scotland (1603-1672) m.

Elizabeth Simpson.\nRobert Livingston of Clermont. His grandson Edward described Robert Livingston of Clermont in 1772 at the age of eighty four as follows:\n“He was a gentleman – tall and somewhat bent, but not emaciated by age which had marked but not disfigured a face once remarkable for its regular beauty of features, and still beaming with the benevolence and intelligence that had always illuminated it.\nHe marked the epoch at which he retired from the world by preserving its costume: the flowing wool powered wig, the bright brown coat, with large cuffs and square shirts, the cut velvet waistcoat, with ample flaps and the breeches scarcely covering the knee, the silk stocking, rolled over them with embroidered clocks, and shining square-toed shoes, fastened near the ankle and small embossed gold buckles.\nThese were retained in his service, not to affect a singularity, but because he thought it ridiculous at his time of life to follow the quick succession of fashion.\nHe always rose at five and read until breakfast. The year before his death, he took up the study of German and spoke it fluently.\nThe patriarch of Clermont was in many ways the spoiled younger son of the self-made man. A failure in the law, in business, and in the eyes of his own parents, he nonetheless entered his final years with the satisfaction that he had not only maintained the estate passed on to him by his father, but had increased it 40-fold through his speculation in Catskill Mountain lands.”\nAngus Livingstone on Cape Breton. Angus Livingstone was the progenitor of the Boularderie Livingstones on Cape Breton.\nBorn in Argyllshire around the year 1773, he had served in the Navy aboard the Royal George during the Napoleonic Wars. By his own account he arrived in Cape Breton in 1819 and made his first petition for land on the west side of Boularderie in 1820. The grant was named Kilninian, which was the name of the parish and the town on the isle of Mull from which Angus probably originated.\nThere is a family tradition that Angus was one of three brothers who emigrated together and landed at Pictou. In a search for better land, they built an open boat and set off from there. Malcolm settled at Cape George in Antigonish county (at a place now called Livingstone Cove), while Angus and George continued to Cape Breton. They had their boat hauled over the strip of land separating the Strait of Canso from the Bras d’Or Lakes at St. Peter’s. Angus chose to settle on the west side of Boularderie island and George sailed on to Low Point near present-day Victoria Mines at the mouth of Sydney Harbor.\nWhile it might be nice to believe in the tale, its credibility is questioned by the petition for land at Low Point by John Livingstone (maybe Angus’s son) in 1817, in which he stated that he has been a resident of Cape Breton for ten years. This would have preceded by a considerable time Angus’s reported arrival date at Boularderie.\nAnother account does have Angus arriving much earlier at Pictou, in 1791.

There is no doubt that John Livingston, born in the 1770’s in Argyllshire, was married in Kilninian parish, Mull in 1805 to Catharine Campbell of Teang.\nShortly after their marriage, a daughter Ann was born – not in Mull but in Morvern parish where John was recorded as working as a laborer. Then it appears that John and Catharine returned to Mull where they resided in a number of locations before leaving for Cape Breton.\nWhile it was correct to state in later family accounts that John and Catharine came from Mull in the early 1820’s with their children and settled in Cape Breton at Mull River, their marriage record and eldest child’s birth record suggested that John Livingston was born in Morvern parish and not Mull.\nAlexander Livingston (email@example.com).\n- Alexander Livingston was the first of his line to assume the name of Livingston around the year 1250.\n- Sir James Livingston of Callendar was appointed Great Chamberlain of Scotland in 1453.\n- Robert Livingston from the Scottish Borders came to America in 1674 and was the forebear of a powerful New York family.\n- David Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer in Africa and one of the most popular British heroes of the late 19th century.\n- Ken Livingstone has been a prominent left-wing London leader, serving as its mayor from 2000 to 2008.\nLivingston Numbers Today\n- 10,000 in the UK (most numerous in Lanarkshire)\n- 17,000 in America (most numerous in Florida)\n- 11,000 elsewhere (most numerous in Canada)\nLivingston and Like Surnames\nThese are surnames from the Scottish Lowlands.

{"text": "Edward Said’s Orientalism: Trapped in Time\nThesis By Samantha Lori Glass\nEdward Said developed his theory of Orientalism in 1978. His theory looked at how Western cultures have treated the East, which includes Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. There is differentiation on what parts of the Occident view the Orient, as the United States has become more tied with the Middle East. In contrast, Europe’s vast history of trade and colonization has connected them with Africa and Asia. The image that has been created has belittled cultures, taken away their meaning, and risks the people in the culture from abandoning it altogether. When power becomes a significant part of the cultural norms, those who are a part of the Orient want to assimilate. Said focuses on three main aspects. First, he looks at how the Orient can be studied for its culture and how it has been misconstrued. Then, Said understands the imaginary definition of the Orient, as the culture has been taken by artists of many mediums to establish the differences that exist in society. This has primarily been done by using the “Other,” as it usually creates false images around the culture as a whole. While the issue of making the culture different has mainly been seen through the Occident, there are still those in the Orient who “Other” their own culture because of the desire to assimilate to the West. Finally, he looks at how the East has been used for power and control.\nThroughout history, treatment towards those of Asian descent have been negative, from inside and outside of their own culture. Film is one of the most excellent mediums that audiences can look back to understand how this treatment has improved or stayed the same throughout history. The Good Earth (1937), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Flower Drum Song (1961), and Crazy Rich Asians (2018) are from different times but represent the Asian culture in positive and negative ways. The imaginary definition of the East has been used to tell these stories through whitewashing. However, through these representations, which have positive and negative feedback, audiences can recognize the issues that exist, without having to disregard these films. Film is an important medium, and as it holds a lot of power, it can also do a lot of good. Current events of the COVID-19 pandemic may push back the positivity that has been attempted through xenophobic beliefs of the illness.", "label": "No"}

(July 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)|\n|Scope of criminal liability|\n|Severity of offense|\n|Offence against the person|\n|Crimes against property|\n|Crimes against justice|\n|Crimes against animals|\n|Defences to liability|\n|Other common-law areas|\nA misdemeanor (American English) or misdemeanour (British English) is any \"lesser\" criminal act in some common law legal systems. Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies, but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as minor, petty, or summary offences) and regulatory offences. Many misdemeanors are punished with monetary fines.\nDistinction between felonies and misdemeanors\nIn the United States, the federal government generally considers a crime punishable with incarceration for one year or less to be a misdemeanor. All other crimes are considered felonies. Many states also employ this distinction.\nA misdemeanor is considered a crime of low seriousness, and a felony one of high seriousness. A principle of the rationale for the degree of punishment meted out is that the punishment should fit the crime. One standard for measurement is the degree to which a crime affects others or society. Measurements of the degree of seriousness of a crime have been developed.\nThe distinction between felonies and misdemeanors has been abolished by several common law jurisdictions (e.g. Australia). These jurisdictions have generally adopted some other classification: in the Commonwealth nations of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, the crimes are divided into summary offences and indictable offences. The Republic of Ireland, a former member of the Commonwealth, also uses these divisions.\nWhen a misdemeanor becomes a felony\nIn the United States of America, the first time a person commits certain crimes, such as spousal assault, it is a misdemeanor, the second time it becomes a felony.\nTypical misdemeanors and sentences\nIn some jurisdictions, those who are convicted of a misdemeanor are known as misdemeanants (as contrasted with those convicted of a felony who are known as felons). Depending on the jurisdiction, examples of misdemeanors may include: petty theft, prostitution, public intoxication, simple assault, disorderly conduct, trespass, vandalism, reckless driving, discharging a firearm within city limits, possession of cannabis and in some jurisdictions first-time possession of certain other drugs, and other similar crimes.\nPunishments for misdemeanors\nIn the United States, misdemeanors are typically crimes with a maximum punishment of 12 months of incarceration, typically in a local jail as contrasted with felons, who are typically incarcerated in a prison. Jurisdictions such as Massachusetts are a notable exception where the maximum punishment of some misdemeanors is up to 2.5 years. People who are convicted of misdemeanors are often punished with probation, community service, short jail term, or part-time imprisonment; served on the weekends.\nMisdemeanors usually do not result in the loss of civil rights, but may result in loss of privileges, such as professional licenses, public offices, or public employment. Such effects are known as the collateral consequences of criminal charges. This is more common when the misdemeanor is related to the privilege in question (such as the loss of a taxi driver's license after a conviction for reckless driving), or when the misdemeanor involves moral turpitude—and in general is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. One prominent example of this is found in the United States Constitution, which provides that the President may be impeached and subsequently removed from office if found guilty by Congress for \"high crimes and misdemeanors\". The definition of a \"high crime\" is left to the judgment of Congress.\nIn Singapore, misdemeanors generally are sentenced to months[clarification needed] of jail sentence but with individual crimes[clarification needed] suspects are sentenced to a harsher sentence. The penalty of vandalism is a fine not exceeding S$2,000 or imprisonment not exceeding three years, and also corporal punishment of not less than three strokes and not more than eight strokes of the cane.\nDepending on the jurisdiction, several classes of misdemeanors may exist; the forms of punishment can vary widely between those classes. For example, the federal and state governments in the United States divide misdemeanors into several classes, with certain classes punishable by jail time and others carrying only a fine. In New York law, a Class A Misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of one year of imprisonment, while a Class B Misdemeanor \"shall not exceed three months\".\nIn the United States, when a statute does not specify the class, it is referred to as an unclassified misdemeanor. Legislators usually enact such laws when they wish to impose penalties that fall outside the framework specified by each class. For instance, Virginia has four classes of misdemeanors, with Class 1 and Class 2 misdemeanors being punishable by twelve-month and six-month jail sentences, respectively, and Class 3 and Class 4 misdemeanors being non-jail offenses payable by fines. First-time cannabis possession is an unclassified misdemeanor in Virginia punishable by up to 30 days in jail rather than the normal fines and jail sentences of the four classes. New York has three classes of misdemanors: A, B, and Unclassified.\nEngland and Wales\n- Convicted felon\n- Federal crime\n- Indictable offence\n- Misdemeanor murder\n- Summary offence\n- 18 U.S.C. § 3559\n- Felonies, Misdemeanors, Infractions – Different Degrees of Crime Accessed May 11, 2015\n- Doing Justice: The Choice of Punishments, A VONHIRSCH, 1976, p.220\n- Criminology, Larry J.

{"text": "In 2009, the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (CFE) was launched in response to the abolition of compulsory set-aside through the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).\nAmid concerns around the environmental impacts of the announcement of a 0% agricultural set-aside level for 2008, the NFU and the CLA put forward a proposal to establish CFE as a preferred alternative to compulsory set-aside in England.\nThe NFU and CLA felt that the government proposals, to introduce a mandatory scheme which would take 6% of arable land out of production and require additional management actions, were disproportionate and unlikely to deliver the environmental benefits sought.\nThey believed that evidence from research projects into botanical diversity, use by farmland birds and the importance of set-aside in protecting soil and water showed quite clearly that the benefits tended to be site specific, dependent on the management undertaken on them and also varied depending on where such areas of land were located.\nAs a result of strong evidence-based arguments, the then Secretary of State Hilary Benn agreed that an industry-led voluntary approach was a suitable alternative and the CFE was launched to replace the environmental benefits of set-aside on 5 November 2009 at the farm of NFU President at the time, Peter Kendall.\nFormer Defra Secretary of State Hilary Benn speaking at the launch of the Campaign for the Farmed Environment in 2009\nIn its original format, CFE introduced a range of 15 Campaign Voluntary Measures that farmers or growers could undertake outside of agri-environment schemes.

{"text": "It is nerve-wracking -- but not unusual -- for young children to cry when parents leave them with a sitter or drop them at daycare. As infants develop a sense of object permanence -- or the realization that something or someone still exists even though it isn't in their sight -- they may begin to show signs of separation anxiety, says Kids Health. If your little one is struggling to separate when you drop her off at daycare, there are some strategies that you can use to help your child settle down.\nChoose the least stressful time possible to start or change your child's daycare experience. When starting a new daycare, avoid dropping your young child off at the school or center when she is tired, sick or hungry. Take her in the morning after she is well-rested, at a time that doesn't conflict with her regular nap. Feed your child her normal breakfast meal before dropping her off to head off a hungry-related cranky start.\nTake small amounts of time away from your child, leaving her with a babysitter or family member before she starts daycare. Children who have never been away from Mommy or Daddy may struggle with separation anxiety more than a child who is regularly in someone else's care. On the first day of daycare, remind her that this is just like the time when you went to the grocery store and she stayed with the babysitter.\nKeep calm. Trying to get your child to settle down while you are crying won't work. While you might feel like sobbing, hold back your tears and keep a calm smile on your face to put your little one at ease. She may settle down sooner if she knows that you feel comfortable and confident.\nAdopt a \"settling down\" routine that stays the same every morning. For example, walk your child into her daycare classroom, give her a kiss on both cheeks, hug her, wave good-bye and walk out in the same way every day. If she still resists your leaving, try a slightly more complex or relaxing routine. Ask the teacher if it is acceptable for you to stay and read a storybook to your child or draw a picture with her before you head out the door.\nGive your child a lovey or favorite object to hold onto when you leave. Make it personal, giving her something that represents you, such as your scarf. Tell your child that you will come back to get her and the item in the afternoon.\nDistract your child with a fun-filled activity or other kids. Have her teacher take her to the science area to play with a magnifying glass or the block center to build with the other children. Engaging the child in play will help her to settle in and redirect her attention elsewhere.\nTalk to the teacher about your ideas on helping your child to settle down. Make sure that you are both on-board with the strategies that your plan on using.\nDon't simply try to sneak away. Kids Health suggests that, while this may seem like an easy answer, it may actually result in your child developing even more anxiety.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "This is the topic of the film “Vaxxed”, which was originally scheduled to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, but was pulled from the lineup on March 26. While it’s true that, unlike the antivaccine crank blog Age of Autism, Mercola doesn’t limit his advocacy of quackery to just antivaccine quackery, he has recently teamed up with Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the Orwellian-named National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and the grande dame of the antivaccine movement. The article goes on to berate vaccine exemption options and parents who use personal belief exemptions to opt-out of vaccines for their children. What should have been an intelligent discussion that weighed the potential risks versus the potential benefits of vaccination — and highlighted the very real need for more research into their safety — turned into an over-heated, often irrational argument. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, is a nephrologist who has committed the latter part of her medical career to exposing the truth of vaccinations. Consuming a balanced, whole food diet, getting enough high-quality sleep, including a well-rounded exercise routine in your daily schedule, and effectively managing your stress – all these can help you stay physically and mentally healthy. N.\n“The research suggests that while the vaccine may keep people from getting sick, it doesn’t prevent them from spreading whooping cough — also known as pertussis — to others. Sometimes it’s easy to spot. As noted by Barbara Loe Fisher, president and co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), starting in January of 2015, Americans were slammed with what can only be described as mass hysteria surrounding the measles outbreak in Disneyland. In seniors, aged 65 and over, the US flu vaccines were only nine percent effective. These bacteria can infect the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (the meninges), leading to symptoms like fever, headache and a stiff neck. In the first case, two former Merck virologists accuse their former employer of overstating the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine in Merck’s combination MMR shot, which may have cost the US government hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decadei. It is usually contracted by children and teens.\nThey especially seem to question the safety of new vaccines. But do they really? But even if $3 billion in federal vaccine injury compensation had not already been awarded to vaccine victims in America,32 and even if the Institute of Medicine had not published a series of reports confirming that vaccines can cause injury and death,33,34,35,36,37 everybody knows that people do not all respond the same way to pharmaceutical products38 like vaccines. Shiv Chopra, as a vaccine and drug regulator for Health Canada for nearly forty years, evaluated every red-hot topic in public health. But the clinic’s flyer contained a contradiction: my child’s chances of a serious adverse reaction to the DPT vaccine were one in 1750, while his chances of dying from pertussis were one in several million. This scarring can cause as much as 80 percent of the permanent damage caused by a heart attack or stroke. Biologics are drugs that contain an ingredient extracted from a “biological” source, such as cells from humans, animals, or microorganisms.\nOne of those doctors paid a lot of money by Big Pharma is Dr. She didn’t like what she read about the ingredients in vaccines – things like mercury, aluminum and bovine serum that she found “really disturbing”. It became apparent that the only medical justification for this vaccine had been the claimed mortalities. One of our doctors finally stopped asking when would we “catch up” on some of the shots my kids’ records were “missing.” After years of hearing me say politely, “Not today, thank you very much,” as brightly as I could while trying to change the subject, that particular doctor stopped asking. Other states report only regional or sporadic activity, meaning it’s not very contagious. It takes courage to follow your conscience. But is this really a strategy to protect children…\nThere’s Andy Wakefield, whose original article was withdrawn by the medical journal who published it, and who was stripped of his medical license because he perpetrated a fraud. Polio immunization was later introduced to prevent that dread disease. Although the paper is carefully worded and the results reported modestly, these findings are certain to receive intense scrutiny. I am grateful for the blessings that I have had in my life, including the hard times, when I learned that faith and hope can overcome fear and doubt. If you believe the experts only 60% of American adults have adequate immunization to ward off diphtheria infections and 72% are protected against tetanus. Introduction: Dr. If you listen to mainstream media news, you’ll be told that polio has now been eradicated in India – an accomplishment the Polio Global Eradication Initiative (PGEI), founded in 1988 by the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, UNICEF, and the U.S.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Classic Adventure Literature\nClassic Adventure Literature is a half-unit course that allows students to explore several classic adventure novels: Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, and J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Emphasis is on the basic elements of a novel (plot, character, and setting), while students learn to read actively.\nIn completing this subject, students analyze the authors’ use of basic literary elements in the four novels by answering objective questions and providing written answers. In the process students discuss such topics as how the setting affects the plot, how the style affects the tone, and where the climax of a novel occurs. Students are expected to use graphic organizers and character maps in preparing their analyses.\nThere are 4 examinations in Classic Adventure Literature.

{"text": "Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are wee freshwater fish that are frequently kept as pets in aquarium settings. These diminutive family Poeciliidae creatures are originally from Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, Guyana and Barbados. Guppies are found all over the planet, not only as pets but also for management of populations of mosquitoes.\nGuppies indeed are tiny fish, and usually grow to anywhere between 2 and 2.5 inches in length. The sexes of these diverse and intensely colorful fish are usually not difficult to tell apart, as the females tend to have shorter tails with more elaborate designs. The males are usually significantly smaller than the females, as well. Male guppies attain physical maturity when they're two months old, while the females take roughly a month longer. Out in nature, guppies exist in many types of settings, including canals, ditches, streams and ponds.\nGuppies are in no way choosy about the foods they consume. If you offer guppies something, they'll probably eat it. However, it is crucially important to be careful about what you allow these little guys to eat. Tropical fish flakes and fish foods formulated specifically for guppies both make suitable components to guppy diets. They also enjoy munching on plants -- think water sprite and hornwort. Other additional items that work well for guppies are tubifex worms, zucchini, algae, brine shrimp and bloodworms. Talk to an aquatic veterinarian if you have any questions or concerns regarding feeding guppies healthy and balanced diets.\nAs omnivores, guppies in the wild take in a combination of animal and plant-based meals. They are especially fond of crustaceans and small bugs -- the latter being one of the primary reasons that guppies are associated so strongly with mosquito pest management. Bug larvae, detritus, zooplankton and benthic algae are all also typical elements in the wild guppy menu plan.\nLots of Feedings\nGuppies in aquariums flourish when allowed to eat several times each day. Tiny pinches of food between two and three times daily generally are effective for these little ones. Never give guppies more food than they can take in within a span of a few short minutes. Since these tiny fish require lots of feedings, it also is important that their water is refreshed a lot as well. With so much food going in, it is easy for their water to get dirty -- not good.\n- Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images", "label": "No"}

For parents, having a child with Autism presents unique and sometimes frustrating challenges. It can sometimes take a long time to have a child tested and diagnosed because the parent is in denial about the condition or unaware that associated behaviors are different than a typically developing child.\nA diagnosis of autism can be a very difficult thing to cope with. If you have proper help, guidance and support, raising child with Autism can be an experience that can change the way you view the world.\nCoping with Feelings\nMany parents react to a diagnosis of Autism in their child with fear, anger and deep concern. Such feelings are not directed at their children, but at themselves. What will they do? How can they adjust their parenting? What if they do something wrong?\nIt is important to acknowledge and process these feelings. This is the first step in moving forward. Know that it is enough that you love your child, and the diagnosis is neither their fault nor yours.\nAs you process your feelings, work with your child’s psychologist to develop a plan of action and get going immediately. Stay focused and on task. The sooner you are able to act, the better off you and your child will be. Early diagnosis can help to give direction and point you towards education.\nYou should also plan for financial challenges ahead. Depending on the severity of the case, there could be significant treatment costs and not all may be covered by insurance.\nTalk to your psychologist and seek education about the autism spectrum, with a focus of where on the spectrum your child falls. Every child with Autism is unique and requires a different approach. Some high-functioning chlidren with Autism go on to college and achieve doctorates. Others require assistance with basic social interactions.\nThere are many books, websites and other resources for parents coping with their child’s Autism diagnosis. Schools may have programs for children with special needs. Your psychologist can assist you with accessing resources. Remember, education is what arms you for the challenges ahead.\nLove Is All You Need\nAs you begin the process of raising a child with Autism, remember that with love and patience you can persevere. Seek help when you need it, and cherish the successes. Adjust your perceptions to view the world through your child’s eyes. You may find that it is a rewarding experience to raise a child with such a unique perspective on life.\nIf you think your child may fall on the autism spectrum, you will want to find proper care for their needs. If you are looking for a child psychologist in Edmonton, ABC Psychological Services is here to help with advice, assessment and treatment. Give us a call for a consultation today!", "label": "No"}

In addition to adding to the basic understanding of brain function, the research may also have implications for understanding schizophrenia and attention deficit disorders.\nMSU's Behrad Noudoost was a co-author with Marc Zirnsak and other neuroscientists from the Tirin Moore Lab at Stanford University in publishing a recent paper on the research in Nature.\nBehrad Noudoost observes brain waves on monitors in his laboratory. Noudoost has linked how our eyes actually see the world to neurons in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Credit: Kelly Gorham.\nNoudoost and the team studied saccadic eye movements—those movements where the eye jumps from one point of focus to another—in an effort to determine exactly how this happens without us being overcome by our brains processing too much visual information.\nTo introduce the study, Noudoost first gets his audience to think about eye movements at the most basic level. \"Look in the mirror and stare at one eye,\" Noudoost said. \"Then look at the other eye. We are essentially blind during eye movement as we cannot see our eyes move, even though we know they did.\"\nAccording to Noudoost, scientists have been trying to learn exactly how the brain processes these visual stimuli during saccadic eye movement and this research offers new evidence that the prefrontal cortex of the brain is responsible for visual stability.\n\"Visual stability is what keeps our vision stable in spite of changing input. It is similar to the stabilizer button on a video camera,\" Noudoost said.\n\"We wanted to know what causes the brain to filter out un-necessary information when we shift our vision from one focal target to another,\" Noudoost said. \"Without that filter the visual information would overwhelm us.\"\nAccording to the scientists, the study offers evidence neurons in the prefrontal cortex of the brain start processing information in anticipation of where we are going to look before we ever do it, suggesting that selective processing might be the mechanism for visual stability.\nNoudoost said this new information can help scientists better understand the underlying causes of problems such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorders.\nAccording to Frances Lefcort, the head of the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience, the team’s basic research may have implications for understanding a myriad of mental health issues.\n\"Schizophrenia and attention deficit disorders have been linked to visual stability, so the work Behrad is doing offers valuable knowledge to other scientists working in cognitive neuroscience,\" Lefcort said.\n\"Understanding how a healthy brain works is important in terms of knowing its impact on cognitive functions such as memory, learning and in this case attention,\" Noudoost said. \"By exploring normal brain function, we can better understand what happens in someone with a mental illness.\"\nNote: Material may have been edited for length and content.

{"text": "The Gregorian Modes, also known as church modes, are the eight structures of pitch organization that are used in the Gregorian Chants. Pope St. Gregory the Great is often associated with the various chants that were to become the ascendant variety during the medieval times in central and Western Europe by the Frankish cantors who reworked Roman ecclesiastical song in the Carolingian period. The theoretical structure of modes emerged later to illustrate the tonal framework of this chant repertory.\nIf you’re looking for some great chant, check here.\nThe system of categorizing the chant repertory into eight modes can trace its roots in the eight melodic types (“echoi”) of the Eastern Church’s Byzantine chant. In the Byzantine arrangement, a mode is basically an attribute or feature of a specific tune-family. The eight modes that categorize the Western chant were adapted from this. However, the Western repertory was there even before the eight-modes system of classification was applied to it. As a result, the eight modes served in the West largely as pre-existent scales to which the individual chants were assigned.\nOfficially, there are eight distinct Gregorian modes, but this doesn’t mean that the modalities of each chant can be described by one of the eight. Precisely, there are four pairs of the modes, with each pair sharing a similar “final”, which is somewhat comparable with the keynote of a minor or major scale. Each of the pairs has a final on D, E, F and G, and they can be played on white notes of the modern piano keyboard. It is worthwhile to stress the fact that the eight modes do not have fixed pitch like modern scales. In essence the eight tones are rather specific arrangements or orders of tones and semi-tones that can be sung at any pitch.\nThe two units of each pair can be distinguished on the basis of two principles.\n1#: The first principle is which sets other notes apart from the final are fundamentally important in the melodies attached to the mode concerned.\n2#: The second principle is the melodic bounds or spectrum of melodies that are attached to the mode.\nA psalm tone is the most basic chant for demonstration. Gregorian psalmody is normally sung along with antiphons, which are short texts that are often obtained from text in the book of psalms. The antiphons can be sung before, as well as after reciting the psalm. The antiphon’s melody, its bounds, and its final will determine its attachment to a particular mode. In turn, the antiphon’s mode will determine the tone to which the corresponding psalm is recited.\nThe system of eight modes is usually associated with various terminologies. The most basic and most apparent is that used by Catholic Church in its contemporary official chant books, whereby the eight modes are typically numbered 1 to 8 in Roman digits. However, other classification, based on various medieval thinkers, is also encountered frequently. One example is first encountered in a late 8th to early 9th century tones which list four modes named protus, deuterus, tritus and tetrardus (Greek words for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th). Each of the four modes are further subdivided into two, whereby the first of each pair is designated authentic (“authentus”), while the second pair are designated plagis or plagal. See example below:\n- Protus authentus\n- Protus plagis\n- Deuterus authentus\n- Deuterus plagis\n- Tritus authentus\n- Tritus plagis\n- Tetrardus authentus\n- Tetrardus plagis\nThere is nothing that confirms more that the eight mode system was adapted from the church in the East than this. The terminology conspicuously resembles that of the Byzantine modes. Additionally, there are other more subtle elements of specific Western tones that employ the same formula.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "About this book\nThe study of animal behaviour, particularly from evolutionary and ecological viewpoints, has been one of the major growing points in biology over the last 10 to 15 years. The degree of quantitative rigour in theoretical, observational and experimental approaches to behaviour has increased dramatically. As more of the rapidly growing research literature be comes a basic requirement for students reading animal behaviour at undergraduate level, there is a need for a readily comprehensible text, covering all major aspects of behaviour study, to accom pany their courses. This book, based on my first, second and third year under graduate lectures at the University of No ttingham , is designed to meet that requirement. The book begins with a discussion of the physiological and anatomical bases of behaviour: the relationship between nervous system structure and function and behaviour; hormonal effects on behaviour; biological c1ocks; perceptual mechanisms; and stimulus filtering. This leads to a consideration in Chapter 2 of how the animal integrates internal and external stimuli in making decisions about its behaviour and the way natural selection has shaped decision-making processes and the organisation of motivation. The first two chapters therefore deal with the instigation or causation of behaviour within the animal. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with developmental aspects of behaviour. Chapter 3 discusses behaviour genetics, inc1uding the relationship between specific genes and behaviour, the heritability of behaviour patterns, the site of gene action in the body and the evolutionary consequences of a genetic basis to behaviour.\nbehavior biological biology decision-making development ecology evolution experiment gene genes genetics natural selection nervous system structure system", "label": "No"}
{"text": "|Programmer's Guide to the Oracle7 Server Call Interface||\nThis chapter discusses the following topics:\nYour OCI program stores data in variables, whose types are predefined by the language you are using. When you transfer data between Oracle and your program, you need to specify the format of the data in your program. For example, if you are processing the SQL statement\nSELECT sal FROM emp WHERE empno = :employee_number\nand you want the salary to come back as character data, rather than in a binary floating-point format, specify an Oracle external string datatype, such as VARCHAR2 (code = 1) or CHAR (code = 96) for the FTYPE parameter in the ODEFIN call. You also need to declare a string variable in your program and specify its address in the BUF parameter.\nIf you want the salary information to be returned as a binary floating-point value, however, specify the FLOAT (code = 4) external datatype. You also need to define a variable of the appropriate type for the BUF parameter.\nOracle performs most data conversions transparently. The ability to specify almost any external datatype provides a lot of power for performing specialized tasks. For example, you can input and output DATE values in pure binary format, with no character conversion involved, by using the DATE external datatype (code = 12). See the description of the DATE external datatype for more information.\nTo control data conversion, you must use the appropriate external datatype codes in the bind and define routines, such as OBNDRA or ODEFIN. You must tell Oracle where the input or output variables are in your OCI program and their datatypes and lengths.\nTo convert a bind variable to a value in an Oracle column, specify the external datatype code that corresponds to the type of the bind variable. For example, if you want to input a character string such as `25-JAN-64' to a DATE column, specify the datatype as a character string (1) and set the length parameter to nine.\nIt is always the programmer's responsibility to make sure that values are convertible. If you try to INSERT the string `MY BIRTHDAY' into a DATE column, you will get an error when you execute the statement.\nFor a complete list of the external datatypes and datatype codes, see Table 3 - 2 .\n|Internal Oracle Datatype||Maximum Internal Length||Datatype Code|\n|LONG RAW||2^31-1 bytes||24|\nSee \"Character Strings and Byte Arrays\" for more information about the VARCHAR2 internal datatype.\nThe maximum precision of a NUMBER value is 38 decimal digits; the magnitude range is 1.0E-129 to 9.99E125. Scale can range from -84 to 127. For example, a scale of -3 means the number is rounded to the nearest thousand (3456 becomes 3000). A scale of 2 means the value is rounded to the nearest hundredth (3.456 becomes 3.46).\nWhen you specify precision and scale, Oracle does extra integrity checks before storing data in the column.\nYou can use the OFLNG routine to retrieve a portion of a LONG (or LONG RAW) column, starting at any offset in the column.\nYou can also use the piecewise capabilities provided by ODEFINPS, OBINDPS, OGETPI and OSETPI to perform inserts, updates or fetches involving LONG columns.\nNote: The maximum length of LONG and LONG RAW columns is 2^31-1 bytes in an Oracle7 database. In Oracle Version 6 and earlier it is 65535 bytes.\nRestrictions: You can use LONG columns in UPDATE, INSERT, and (most) SELECT statements, but not in expressions, function calls, or certain SQL clauses, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, and CONNECT BY. Only one LONG (or LONG RAW) column is allowed per database table, and that column cannot be indexed.\nThe internal size of an Oracle ROWID is six bytes. However, ROWIDs are not accessible in their internal format; the OCI program handles them in a binary or character external format. The size of the binary representation is operating-system dependent and is returned by a describe operation on a ROWID select-list item. The size of the character representation also varies. For additional information, see the discussion of VARCHAR2 and ROWID in the section \"External Datatypes\" .\nWhen a DATE column is converted to a character string in your program, it is returned using the default format mask for your session, or as specified in the INIT.ORA file.\nIf you need additional date information on a query, such as the time, or a date in Julian days, apply the TO_CHAR function to the date and use a format mask. Be sure to set the length of the output parameter in the ODEFIN routine to accommodate the additional characters. See Oracle7 Server SQL Reference for more information about TO_CHAR and format masks. Unless you want date information in the Oracle internal format (see the \"External Datatypes\" section ), always convert DATE columns and expressions to and from character strings using external character datatypes, such as VARCHAR2 or STRING.\nThe maximum length of a RAW column is 255 bytes.\nWhen RAW data in an Oracle table is converted to a character string in a program, the data is represented in hexadecimal character code. Each byte of the RAW data is returned as two characters that indicate the value of the byte, from `00' to `FF'. If you want to input a character string in your program to a RAW column in an Oracle table, you must code the data in the character string using this hexadecimal code.\nYou can use the piecewise capabilities provided by ODEFINPS, OBINDPS, OGETPI and OSETPI to perform inserts, updates or fetches involving RAW (or LONG RAW) columns.\nSee the section \"Character Arrays and Strings\" for more information about the CHAR internal datatype.\nIn standard Oracle, you can define a column using the MLSLABEL datatype. However, the only valid value for the column is NULL. In Trusted Oracle7, you can insert any valid operating system label, in any valid format, into a column having the MLSLABEL datatype. Trusted Oracle implicitly converts the data to the binary format of a label.\nCHAR, VARCHAR2, and LONG columns normally hold character data. RAW and LONG RAW hold bytes that are not interpreted as characters, for example, pixel values in a bit-mapped graphics image. Character data can be transformed when passed through a gateway between networks. For example, character data passed between machines using different languages (where single characters may be represented by differing numbers of bytes) can be significantly changed in length. Raw data is never converted in this way.\nIt is the responsibility of the database designer to choose the appropriate Oracle internal datatype for each column in the table. The OCI programmer must be aware of the many possible ways that character and byte-array data can be represented and converted between variables in the OCI program and Oracle tables.\nWhen an array holds characters, the length parameter for the array in an OCI call is always passed in and returned in bytes, not characters.\nIn a non-blank-padded comparison, the strings are compared until a difference occurs or the end of the shorter string is reached. If two strings are equivalent up to the end of the shorter string, the longer string is considered greater. If two strings of equal length have no differing characters, they are equal.\nBlank-padded comparisons are used whenever both of the strings are fixed length. See Chapter 3 of the Oracle7 Server SQL Reference for additional information about string comparison.\n|EXTERNAL DATATYPE||TYPE OF PROGRAM VARIABLE|\n|NUMBER||2||unsigned char||PIC X(21)||LOGICAL*1(21)|\n|8-bit signed INTEGER||3||signed char||PIC S9(3) COMP||LOGICAL*1|\n|16-bit signed INTEGER||3||signed short, signed int||PIC S9(4) COMP||INTEGER*2|\n|32-bit signed INTEGER||3||signed int, signed long||PIC S9(9) COMP||INTEGER*4|\n|FLOAT||4||float, double||PIC S9(n)V9(n) COMP-1,2||REAL*4, REAL*8|\n|VARNUM||6||char||PIC X(22)||LOGICAL*1 (22)|\n|PACKED DECIMAL||7||n/a||PIC S9(n)V9(n) COMP-3||n/a|\n|VARCHAR||9||char[n+slen]||PIC X(n+slen) VARYING||LOGICAL*1(n+slen)|\n|VARRAW||15||unsigned char[n+slen]||PIC X(n+slen)||LOGICAL*1(n+slen)|\n|RAW||23||unsigned char[n]||PIC X(n)||LOGICAL*1(n)|\n|LONG RAW||24||unsigned char[n]||PIC X(n)||LOGICAL*1(n)|\n|DISPLAY||91||n/a||PIC S9(n) PIC S9(n)V9(n)||n/a|\n|LONG VARCHAR||94||char[n+ilen]||PIC X(n+ilen)||LOGICAL*1(n+ilen)|\n|LONG VARRAW||95||unsigned char[n+ilen]||PIC X(n+ilen)||LOGICAL*1(n+ilen)|\n|CURSOR VARIABLE||102||struct cda_def|\nIf the PROGVL parameter is greater than zero, Oracle obtains the bind variable value by reading exactly that many bytes, starting at the buffer address in your program. Trailing blanks are stripped, and the resulting value is used in the SQL statement or PL/SQL block. If, in the case of an INSERT statement, the resulting value is longer than the defined length of the database column, the INSERT fails, and an error is returned.\nNote: A trailing null is not stripped. Variables should be blank-padded but not null-terminated.\nIf the PROGVL parameter is -1, the character array is scanned for a null terminator character. If a null terminator is found in the first 2001 bytes of the array, the array elements up to, but not including the null terminator, are used as the bind variable value. If a null terminator is not found, Oracle returns an error. When the BUFL parameter is -1, trailing blanks (blanks immediately preceding the null terminator) are not stripped.\nIf the PROGVL parameter is zero, Oracle treats the bind variable as a null, regardless of its actual content. Of course, a null must be allowed for the bind variable value in the SQL statement. If you try to insert a null into a column that has a NOT NULL integrity constraint, Oracle issues an error, and the row is not inserted.\nWhen the Oracle internal (column) datatype is NUMBER, input from a character string that contains the character representation of a number is legal. Input character strings are converted to internal numeric format. If the VARCHAR2 string contains an illegal conversion character, Oracle returns an error and the value is not input.\nIf you omit the RLEN parameter of ODEFIN, returned values are blank-padded to the buffer length, and nulls are returned as a string of blank characters. If RLEN is included, returned values are not blank-padded. Instead, their actual lengths are returned in the RLEN parameter.\nTo check if a null is returned or if character truncation has occurred, include an indicator parameter in the ODEFIN call. The indicator parameter is set to -1 when a null is fetched and to the original column length when the returned value is truncated. Otherwise, it is set to zero. If you do not specify an indicator parameter and a null is selected, the fetch call returns the error 1405.\nWarning: If you are connected to an Oracle7 database, and you set the LNGFLG parameter of the OPARSE call to zero, then selecting a null with no indicator parameter defined does not cause an error to be returned. This is for Oracle Version 6 compatability.\nOutput to a character string from an internal NUMBER datatype can also be made. Number conversion follows the conventions established by National Language Support for your system. For example, your system might be configured to recognize a comma rather than period as the decimal point.\nSpecial Considerations for ROWID When an OCI program is connected to a non-Oracle data manager via an Oracle Open Gateway, the Oracle ROWID field in the CDA is not valid. In this case, ROWIDs must be explicitly SELECTed from the table into a character array.\nThe maximum length of the array is 255 bytes. To do dynamic memory allocation of the output buffer for a ROWID, you can call the ODESCR routine for a ROWID select-list item. When ODESCR returns datatype code 1 in the DBTYPE parameter, the DBSIZE parameter contains the correct size of the non-Oracle ROWID.\nWhen you are connected to a non-Oracle data manager, you must use the VARCHAR2 external datatype code (1) in the FTYPE parameter of the bind or define call for all ROWIDs.\nFor maximum portability of your OCI application, Oracle recommends that you use explicit ROWIDs, rather than depending on the Oracle ROWID field of the CDA. In this case, always bind and define ROWIDs using the VARCHAR2 external datatype.\nOracle stores values of the NUMBER datatype in a variable-length format. The first byte is the exponent and is followed by 1 to 20 mantissa bytes. The high-order bit of the exponent byte is the sign bit; it is set for positive numbers. The lower 7 bits represent the exponent, which is a base 100 digit with an offset of 65.\nEach mantissa byte is a base 100 digit, in the range 1..100. For positive numbers, the digit has 1 added to it. So, the mantissa digit for the value 5 is 6. For negative numbers, instead of adding 1, the digit is subtracted from 101. So, the mantissa digit for the number -5 is 96 (101-5). Negative numbers have a byte containing 102 appended to the data bytes. However, negative numbers that have 20 mantissa bytes do not have the trailing 102 byte. Because the mantissa digits are stored in base 100, each byte can represent 2 decimal digits. The mantissa is normalized; leading zeroes are not stored.\nUp to 20 data bytes can represent the mantissa. However, only 19 are guaranteed to be accurate. The 19 data bytes, each representing a base 100 digit, yield a maximum precision of 38 digits for an Oracle NUMBER.\nIf you specify the datatype code 2 in the FTYPE parameter of an ODEFIN or ODEFINPS call, your program receives numeric data in this Oracle internal format. The output variable should be a 21-byte array to accommodate the largest possible number. Note that only the bytes that represent the number are returned. There is no blank padding or null termination. If you need to know the number of bytes returned, use the VARNUM external datatype instead of NUMBER. See the description of VARNUM for examples of the Oracle internal number format.\nBecause the internal format of an Oracle number is decimal and most floating-point implementations are binary, Oracle can represent numbers with greater precision than floating-point representations.\nNote: You may get a round-off error when converting between FLOAT and NUMBER. Thus, using a FLOAT as a bind variable in a query may return an ORA-1403 error. You can avoid this situation by converting the FLOAT into a STRING and then using datatype code 1 or 5.\nORA-01480: trailing null missing from STR bind value\nIf the length is not specified in the bind call, an implied maximum string length of 2000 is used.\nThe minimum string length is two bytes. If the first character is a null terminator and the length is specified as two, a null is inserted in the column, if permitted. Unlike types 1 and 96, a string containing all blanks is not treated as a null on input; it is inserted as is.\nA null select-list item returns a null terminator character in the first character position. An ORA-01405 error is possible, as well.\nTable 3 - 3 shows several examples of the VARNUM values returned for numbers in an Oracle table.\n|Decimal Value||Length Byte||Exponent Byte||Mantissa Bytes||Terminator Byte|\n|1234567||5||196||2, 24, 46, 68||n/a|\nSELECT rowid, ename, sal FROM emp FOR UPDATE OF sal\nIn this case, you use the returned ROWID in further INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements.\nAlso, after INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE statements are executed, the Oracle ROWID field in the CDA can contain a binary representation of the ROWID for the row that was just changed or selected. However, this field is valid only if the OCI program is connected to an Oracle database. See the \"Special Considerations\" section , in the description of the external datatype VARCHAR2, for more information.\nThe size of the binary representation of a ROWID is system dependent. One way to determine the binary ROWID size on your system is to describe, using ODESCR, a SQL statement such as\nSELECT rowid FROM dual\nWhenever ODESCR returns the datatype code 11 in the DBTYPE parameter, the DBSIZE parameter contains the size in bytes of the binary ROWID.\nNever attempt to construct a ROWID and use it in subsequent DML statements. Use only ROWIDs returned by Oracle.\n|Example (for 30-NOV-1992, 3:17 PM)||119||192||11||30||16||18||1|\nWhen you input a date in binary format using the DATE external datatype, the database does not do consistency or range checking. All data in this format must be carefully validated before input.\nNote: There is little need to use the Oracle external DATE datatype in ordinary database operations. It is much more convenient to convert DATEs in character format, because the program usually displays (on a query) or inputs in a character format, such as `DD-MON-YY'.\nNote: The entire contents of the buffer (PROGVL chars) is passed to the database, including any trailing blanks or nulls.\nIf the PROGVL parameter is zero, Oracle treats the bind variable as a null, regardless of its actual content. Of course, a null must be allowed for the bind variable value in the SQL statement. If you try to insert a null into a column that has a NOT NULL integrity constraint, Oracle issues an error and does not insert the row.\nNegative values (especially -1) for the PROGVL parameter are not allowed for CHARs.\nWhen the Oracle internal (column) datatype is NUMBER, input from a character string that contains the character representation of a number is legal. Input character strings are converted to internal numeric format. If the CHAR string contains an illegal conversion character, Oracle returns an error and does not input the value. Number conversion follows the conventions established by National Language Support settings for your system. For example, your system might be configured to recognize a comma (,) rather than a period (.) as the decimal point.\nIf you omit the RLEN parameter of ODEFIN, returned values are blank padded to the buffer length, and nulls are returned as a string of blank characters. If RLEN is included, returned values are not blank padded. Instead, their actual lengths are returned in the RLEN parameter.\nTo check if a null is returned or if character truncation has occurred, include an indicator parameter or array of indicator parameters in the ODEFIN or ODEFINPS call. An indicator parameter is set to -1 when a null is fetched and to the original column length when the returned value is truncated. Otherwise, it is set to zero. If you do not specify an indicator parameter and a null is selected, the fetch call returns an ORA-01405 error.\nNote: If you are connected to an Oracle7 database, but you set the LNGFLG parameter of the OPARSE call to zero, selecting a null with no indicator parameter defined returns no error.\nOutput to a character string from an internal NUMBER datatype can also be made. Number conversion follows the conventions established by the National Language Support settings for your system. For example, your system might use a comma (,) rather than a period (.) as the decimal point.\nOn input, the length parameter must indicate the exact length including the null terminator. For example, if an array in C is declared as\nchar my_num = \"123.45\";\nthen the length parameter when you bind my_num must be seven. Any other value would return an error for this example.\nAfter binding the program cursor to a PL/SQL cursor variable, you can execute the PL/SQL block. Then you can use the variable cursor as a regular program cursor. For example, you may then describe the select-list items, bind them to program variables (using ODEFIN or ODEFINPS), fetch rows, and close the cursor.\nFor more information see the section \"Cursor Variables\" .\nThe internal length of MLSLABEL is between two and five bytes.\n|EXTERNAL||1 VARCHAR2||2 NUMBER||8 LONG||11 ROWID||12 DATE||23 RAW||24 LONG RAW||96 CHAR||105 MLSLABEL|\n|Notes: (1) For input, host string must be in Oracle 'BBBBBBBB.RRRR.FFFF' format.

He has secured a radiograph of a rabbit after an hour's exposure, in which not only details of the skeleton are visible; but also a clear outline of the abdominal cavity, location of lungs and the fur are shown. Radiographs of large birds show the feathers distinctly; in another instance an exposure of forty minutes gave a radiograph of the human skull, showing clearly not only the outline, but the cavity of the eye, chin, cheek, nasal bones, the lower jaw and connection to the upper one, the vertebral column and connections to the skull, the flesh and even the hair.\n\"By exposing the head to a powerful radiation, strange effects have been noted. For instance, I find that there is a tendency to sleep, and the time seems to pass away quickly. There is a general soothing effect, and I have felt a sensation of warmth in the upper part of the head. An assistant independently confirmed the tendency to sleep and a quick lapse of time. Should these remarkable effects be verified by men with keener sense of observation, I shall still more firmly believe in the existence of material streams penetrating the skull.

{"text": "Study finds one-stop flights are a big contributor to global connectivity.\nEvery time you’ve seen a plane take off or land at a hub airport, you’ve seen the world growing more connected, according to a new model developed by researchers at MIT.\nIn a study published in the journal Transportation Research Part E, the MIT team outlines a model that determines the degree to which regions around the world are connected via air transportation.\nThe researchers, at MIT’s Laboratory for Aviation and the Environment (LAE), analyzed flight schedules between 1990 and 2012 from more than 1,100 airlines connecting over 4,600 airports around the world. They also looked at 1.2 million tickets to gauge passenger behavior — such as the detours that passengers were willing to make to get to their final destination.\nThey observed that in 1990, airports in the U.S. were, by far, the best-connected. By 2012, thousands of airports around the world, particularly in Europe and Asia, emerged as access points to the global air transportation network, increasing global connectivity, or the links between regions, by 140 percent.\nThis exploding growth in global connectivity is due largely to the increasing availability and quality of indirect connections, in which passengers have to switch to a connecting flight to continue on to their destination.\nWhile overall, passengers generally prefer nonstop over one-stop flights, the researchers found that the number and quality of indirect connections grew faster than nonstop flights over this period. In part, they attributed this growth to increasing cooperation between airlines: Between 1990 and 2012, global airlines began to team up into multi-airline alliances, such as Oneworld, Sky Team, and Star Alliance. These alliances offer “code-sharing” flights — connecting flights involving two airlines, sold to passengers on a single ticket.\nThe researchers note that such code-sharing provides global “seamless travel” options for passengers at the point of sale. For example, to get from Newark, N.J., to Singapore, a passenger might purchase a ticket through United Airlines, which is part of an alliance that includes Lufthansa. The ticket may involve a connection in Frankfurt where the passenger switches from a United aircraft to a Lufthansa aircraft — so the cooperation between those two airlines connects Newark to more destinations throughout the world.\nRobert Malina, a research scientist in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and LAE’s associate director, says the rising impact of connecting flights on global connectivity is a somewhat counterintuitive and surprising one.\n“Even if you take into account that one-stop flights have a lower value for passengers because they involve additional travel time, we still find that one-stop flights become more important over time in connecting regions,” Malina says. “It’s easier to transfer these days, because the airlines are cooperating better than they were in the ’90s. So we get a lot of indirect connectivity. That’s a striking result.”\nMalina’s co-authors on the paper are MIT postdoc Florian Allroggen and PhD student Michael Wittman.\nFor their model, the researchers analyzed 1.2 million ticketed flight itineraries, as well as flight schedules at over 4,600 airports. The flight schedules gave them an idea of the direct and indirect routes available to passengers, while ticket sales were used to measure passenger preferences — such as with respect to the maximum detour, or the most out-of-the-way connection, they were willing to accept in order to get to their destination.\nMalina and his colleagues also evaluated the economic quality of the markets that surround destination airports, taking into account per-capita gross domestic product, the number of people, and their spatial distribution around the airport.\nThe group’s model computes a “global connectivity index” score for each airport in the years between 1990 and 2012. This score indicates the degree to which an airport is connected to the global air transport network; the researchers plotted how these connectivity scores changed over the period.\n“It’s an interesting time period, because there was a lot of change in the global transportation network,” Malina says. “Let’s take Europe as an example: Back in the early 1990s, you had highly regulated markets. So if you were an Irish airline, you were able to fly from Ireland to other countries, but you were not able to offer services from Spain to Germany, for example.”\nIndeed, the researchers’ results showed that in 1990, global nonstop and one-stop connectivity was highly concentrated at North American airports. By 2012, this concentration dropped, especially as European and Asian countries opened up their markets and were better integrated into the global air transport network.\n“During this period, we particularly observed the rise of Asia,” Malina says. “Airports like Dubai and Beijing in the 1990s played no role whatsoever in generating global connectivity, and now they’ve become more important.”\nJan Brueckner, a professor of economics at the University of California at Irvine, says the team’s new metric for air transport connectivity improves on existing models, as it uses 20 years’ worth of data to track all possible trips out of a given city, and also measures the “value” of each destination.\n“No researchers have produced such a comprehensive index spanning a large range of years,” says Brueckner, who was not involved in the research. “The study shows that connectivity is growing, and an important implication is that it will continue to grow. A policy implication of the study concerns the benefits of international airline alliances, whose ability to stimulate connectivity should be appreciated and fostered by regulators.”\nLooking ahead, Malina hopes to apply the model to examine how certain changes in deregulation affect global connectivity, as well as how air transportation affects economic growth. The model may also help to understand how airlines enter and exit certain regional markets.\n“For example, we can look at all the markets that United has opened up in the last couple years, and can look at the destination quality, and we might be able to tell that United only enters markets that have certain properties,” Malina says. “So there are a lot of applications for transportation science, regional economics, and also for management scholars.”\nThe research was funded in part by the German Research Foundation and MIT’s Airline Industry Consortium.\n(Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office)", "label": "No"}
{"text": "There are on average about ten deaths each year caused by avalanches. They are still among the least deadly natural disasters.\nAn avalanche by definition is a rapid movement of a mass of snow on a slope that can be caused by a break in the snowpack. It can vary according to different criteria:\n* mass: this can vary, it can be minimal (tens of cubic meters) or enormous (hundreds of cubic meters);\n* the speed: it depends on the mass moved but also on the slope (between 30 and 55°), it can therefore vary from 10 to 400 km/h.\nThere are three types of avalanches:\n- The avalanche in aerosol: it is due to an accumulation of fresh snow such as powder snow. This type of avalanche can go very fast from 100 to 400 km/h, creating a thick and wide cloud of snow;\n2. Wet snow avalanche: created at the end of the winter season with rising temperatures and more intense precipitation. This will slowly drag the entire snowpack along, the speed will be around 20 km/h;\n3. Slab avalanche: this is the sliding of a slab of snow by the wind on a small part of the snowpack. On this snowpack, there may be blocks of snow or another friable plate. It can become dangerous in strong winds.\nAn avalanche can be created spontaneously or be provoked voluntarily or involuntarily (explosive, skiers, etc.). However, there are two fundamental factors that trigger it:\n* the temperature: during the winter, if there is a long period of snowfall followed by a very cold period, the snowpack will not be able to consolidate, unlike a warmer period which will allow it to to stabilize. But if temperatures and precipitation increase (spring), the snowpack will be unstable as a result of wet and therefore heavier snow.\n* the wind: it affects the stability of the snowpack because it can promote the creation of slabs and therefore avalanches.\nWith the monitoring of avalanches over the years, the reinforced monitoring of certain areas, the control of urbanization, as well as the forecasting and information of citizens are measures to be implemented in any risk area.\nNevertheless, these measures do not make it possible to stop these avalanches, it is necessary to add other complementary measures:\n* temporary: establishment of trivialization of risk areas or triggering of an artificial avalanche with controlled explosives;\n* permanent: equipment to limit the departure of avalanches with nets or barriers as well as diversion, braking or even stopping structures.\nIt is also advisable for any hiker or off-piste skier to bring a device allowing their geolocation in the event of an avalanche (transmitter / receiver device for assistance in the search for victims of avalanches (ARVA).", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Today, we view a new land from above. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.\nYou and I find little novelty in looking down on a city from an airplane. But as late as the 1930s few people had yet flown. Most of us still dreamt of rising into the air to gaze down on the city around us. In fact, the dream was much older than flight. Artists have been trying to take us into the sky since the late 1400s.\nThe new medium of printed books soon tried to include imagined aerial views of cities. Perspective was badly understood, and those early block prints were pretty surealistic.\nThen, when Leonardo da Vinci took up perspective, the first thing he did was to sketch fine aerial views of imaginary buildings. So we've been trying to create aerial views of our cities for at least 500 years.\nBird's eye views really took off just after the first French balloons. But, oddly enough, it wasn't because of flight. Rather, it was the invention of lithography -- printing done with stone slabs. Lithography was cheap and effective, and it soon suited itself to making color plates as well.\nLithography whipped up a new hunger for pictures. I suppose it also drove the invention of photography, but that's another story. Lithography was in place by 1825. The next 75 years gave us two to three thousand aerial views of American cities. Of course those views were all drawn down on the ground.\nThe American West really took to the new medium. Itinerant artists went from town to town making bird's eye views. They were immensely popular with settlers who'd just built a new town.\nI count only 46 buildings in an 1840 lithograph of \"Austin the New Capital of Texas\" -- even fewer in Monterey, California, two years later. But the few buildings of Monterey are joined by a rich record of the variety of ships and boats in the harbor.\nAs we follow bird's eye views down through the 19th century, the towns grow. The bird has to fly higher, and the magic of what he sees fades. The bird's eye view works best when the town is small enough to let you pick out buildings -- your house, my house, the mayor's house.\nThese old drawings leave a stunning, and usually accurate, record of that sort of detail. The old cities of Helena, Oregon City, and San Francisco live, very much as they once did, in these old prints. And they hold some surprises -- like smokestacks and factories on the \"Streets of Laredo\" in 1892.\nSo we built cities and immediately dramatized what we'd done. And it's peculiarly appropriate that we assumed a bird's wings of freedom to tell about the new America we were creating.\nI'm John Lienhard, at the University of Houston, where we're interested in the way inventive minds work.\nReps, J.W., Cities on Stone: Nineteenth Century Lithograph Images of the Urban West, Fort Worth: Amon Carter Museum, 1976.

Also, in the context of Crisis Management for the Ebola virus and other severe infectious diseases, use of a gown that can be donned and removed quickly and safely as infection protection to prevent onwards transmission to environmental infection is more important than ever.\nThe research group led by Kiyokazu Nakajima, professor at the Global Center for Medical Engineering and Informatics, Osaka University, has succeeded in developing a safe and easy self-donning and self-adjusting surgical gown called \"Selfgown,\" which could also minimize environmental infection  from splashes when taking off gloves .\nThe group has been working on R&D of medical devices and non-medical equipment  to reduce labor burden of medical support staff and to ensure the best use of human resources in order to improve the work environment in health care settings. In this study, the group responded to the strong need to develop a self-donning, self-adjusting surgical gown and succeeded in commercialization after 2 years of R&D.\nConventional surgical gowns are designed to have an assistant tie strings or a belt around the neck, inner gown, and waist to keep arms and hands inside the sterile field. The new gown is comprised of a special spring along the neckline instead of strings.\nThe inner belt is removed by applying a three-dimensional structure on the rear torso portions to overlap each other. Applying sticky tape on a transfer card for temporary adhesion and forming a special perforation at the end of the waist belt led to the realization of this groundbreaking self-donning, self-adjusting surgical gown.\nThe notable feature of this gown is that there is practically \"zero splashing\" of infectious substances from the gloves as the wearer can take off the gown while wrapping the gloves inside-out at the same time, as opposed to a conventional gown where the wearer needs to take off the gloves first in order to undo the strings and the belt.\n\"We exercised our ingenuity to develop a special ring around the neck and to optimize the structure of rear torso portions to overlap each other,\" said Nakajima. \"We finally established a self-donning, self-adjusting system after 18 months of research, making 41 prototypes while conducting 17 animal experiments, 5 clinical trials and incorporating evaluations from over 100 surgeons in Japan and overseas. We were able to develop this groundbreaking gown through advice from infection control and critical care specialists. We wish to widely promote our achievement.\"\nThis gown will prevent medical accidents, which are becoming a serious problem, and provide safe and secure medical care.

{"text": "ANN ARBOR, Mich.—In an effort to keep lakes and streams clean, municipalities around the country are banning or restricting the use of phosphorus-containing lawn fertilizers, which can kill fish and cause smelly algae blooms and other problems when the phosphorus washes out of the soil and into waterways.\nBut do the ordinances really help reduce phosphorus pollution? That's been an open question until now, says John Lehman, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan.\n\"It's one of those things where political organizations take the action because they believe it's the environmentally conscious thing to do, but there's been no evidence offered in peer-reviewed literature that these ordinances actually have a salutary effect,\" Lehman said.\nNow, such evidence exists in a study published by Lehman and students Douglas Bell and Kahli McDonald in the journal Lake and Reservoir Management. The paper, published online Aug. 14, shows that phosphorus levels in the Huron River dropped an average of 28 percent after Ann Arbor adopted an ordinance in 2006 that curtailed the use of phosphorus on lawns. Phosphorus is naturally plentiful in southeast Michigan soils, so fertilizing established lawns with the nutrient is generally unnecessary.\nLehman was in an ideal position to assess the effectiveness of the Ann Arbor ordinance because he and undergraduate student Julie Ferris were already studying nutrient levels in the Huron River and two downstream lakes, Ford Lakes and Belleville Lake, for a different research project. Ferris used some of the data from that project in her senior honors thesis, and she and Lehman published a paper on the Ford Lake and Belleville Lake research, but they weren't sure what to do with the rest of the data from the Huron River around Ann Arbor.\n\"As we were talking about it, I got a phone call from Ann Arbor environmental coordinator Matt Naud, who knew about the work we had been doing,\" Lehman said. \"He said the city council had enacted an ordinance that would reduce the use of phosphorus-containing fertilizers, and he wondered if we would be able to detect any change that might occur as a result.\"\nUsing statistical models, Lehman and Ferris figured out how much sampling would be required to confidently detect a 25 percent decrease in phosphorus concentrations. \"We came up with the result that for most of the river that runs through Ann Arbor, we should be able to detect a change of that magnitude by sampling once a week for one summer or two summers, depending on the sampling station.\"\nNaud found funding to pay a student to do the work over the next two summers. By that time, Ferris had graduated and gone on to medical school, so Lehman recruited Bell to do the sampling and chemical analyses. When Bell graduated and took a job measuring phosphorus on research cruises around Bermuda, McDonald joined the project.\n\"Right away, we started to see decreases,\" Lehman said. After the first year of data collection, it was clear that phosphorus concentrations were lower after the ordinance was enacted than before. But did the ordinance cause the drop? Though that explanation seems likely, public education efforts and general increased environmental awareness among Ann Arbor residents also may have entered in.\nAt any rate, the study already has attracted the attention of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), which invited Lehman to present the study results at a meeting earlier this year, and may well generate interest beyond Michigan's borders.\n\"Although the science wasn't difficult, its ramifications in a political sense and in an environmental sense will not be insignificant,\" Lehman said.\nThe research was funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the city of Ann Arbor.\nJohn Lehman: www.ns.umich.edu/htdocs/public/experts/ExpDisplay.php?ExpID=1018\nLehman's project web site: www.umich.edu/~hrstudy\nLake and Reservoir Management: www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/07438141.asp\nJohn LehmanLehman's project web siteLake and Reservoir Management", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Flipping through the articles of Financial Times on 8th Oct, 14, I was awed by the headline “China leap forward : overtakes USA as the world’s biggest economy”. This news made me ponder on the presence of Indian economy in the world. I quickly browsed through Wikipedia and found that India stands 10th in the nominal GDP ranking and 3rd in the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) ranking.\nThe nominal GDP measures the market values of the final goods and services a country produced in a year calculated at the government official foreign exchange rates the exchange rates of that year. The nominal GDP does not take into consideration the cost of living (inflation) of different countries and hence the ranking of the countries may greatly vary depending upon the fluctuations in exchange rates. To avoid this ambiguity of fluctuation of exchange rates, the comparison of the countries is done on the basis of purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP takes into account the relative costs and inflation and hence is considered to be a real measure of the economy.\nAccording to neo classical economists, several factors which contribute to the GDP of a country are consumptions of households, investment in productive assets, government spending on goods and services, exports and imports of the country. The Industrial, agricultural and services sector contributes a major chunk of economy of any country.\nAccording to IMF (World Economic Database, October, 2014) the GDP (PPP) of India in 2013 is 6.77 (Trillion US$).The contribution from Industrial, agricultural and services sector are 20%, 15% and 65% respectively. It can be observed that in the initial phase of the growth of a country, a major contribution is by the manufacturing sectors and then when it establishes its manufacturing units a major contribution comes from services sector. It can be inferred that after the initial stages the manufacturing sector becomes more services centric in order to remain competitive and hence the output and employment at service sector increases.\nFor China, the contribution in GDP is maximum by the manufacturing and industrial sector (47%) followed by services sector (43%) and agricultural sector (10%). The total GDP of China as per IMF (World Economic Database, October, 2014) is 17.45 (Trillion US$) for the year 2013.If we compare China's economy post World War II we would found that China has undergone a drastic change with 7% increase in its GDP. This significant growth is due to rapid increase in manufacturing of hi-tech goods with large scale hi-tech manufacturing firm like Lenovo, Baidu.com and Huawei Technologies .The infrastructural development in China has also been quite higher than that of India, which has added to the growth of China GDP. In general, it can be inferred that China spends much more in its infrastructural facilities than India. It can also be speculated that these manufacturing sectors in China will augment the services sector in china and in future the services sector contribution might surpass the contribution by manufacturing firms.\nThe trend of contribution of sectors in USA is quite different from India and China. For the year 2013, GDP of US is 17.56(Trillion US$) as per IMF (WEO, October, 2014).The major contribution in GDP is by the services sector (77%) followed by industrial sector( 22%) and agricultural sector(1%). Information, retail, scientific, technical and professional services form the major parts of services sector. Wholesale and retail trade comes up as the leading business areas in services sectors. Contribution from major retail firms such as Wal-Mart, Sears, Target, McDonald’s etc. has helped to shape the image of America that exists today. This industry has brought in tremendous amounts of revenue and according to the U.S. Census Bureau (2009) the total amount of sales was $4.13 trillion. However if net income is considered, finance and insurance services leads in services sector in USA. The US has the maximum amount of total insurance premiums. These premiums amount for $1.2 trillion, which to put in perspective is about 33.3% of the world market. This sector is a reliable industry and clearly a world leader. The American banking industry is also very competitive industry that is strongly supported by the economy. The banking sector in a way is responsible for the growth of retail sector at US. It has been a backbone of the American economy for many years.\nJapan having a GDP (PPP) of 4.66 (Trillion US$) for year 2013 ranks 4th in the world after India (WEO, October, 2014). The key driver of Japan’s economy is the services sector which contributes around 71% to its GDP followed by manufacturing sector ( 27%) and agricultural sector(2%).The major services sector in Japan include banking, insurance, retailing, transportation and telecommunications. Industries in Japan include motor vehicles, electronic equipment, machine tools, steel and nonferrous metals, ships, chemicals, textiles, and processed foods. Japan is the home of major automotive giants like Toyota, Renault-Nissan, Honda, Suzuki, Mazda and Mitsubishi. The automobile sector due to its increasing demand across the world managed a growth of more than 10% in 2009 despite of the global crisis. Japan is also the world’s largest electronics manufacturer with premier companies such as Sony, Casio, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Canon, Fujitsu, Nikon, Yamaha etc. In the year 2012, India overtook Japan to become third-largest economy in purchasing power parity. This was majorly because of the tsunami at Japan which badly affected hit its growth rate (0.75%) as compared to then growth rate of India (7.24%)\nAnalyzing the trends of major contributors of the world’s economy, we can infer that contribution of services sector in GDP of India still has a good scope of improvement. The major contribution is by IT services companies of India. Majority of the services companies is dependent of foreign firms for their revenue. To boost the services sector, Indian government is trying to take a series of economic reforms to invite more foreign companies. As per the World Economic Outlook (WEO) report of IMF the GDP of India is expected to rise by 5.6% by the end of this year and to 6.4 % by 2015. An increase in investment and exports are the expected to enhance the economy of India. The new government formation in India has renewed the confidence in market which brings in a lot of hopes to the Indian economy.\nGlobal News, Breaking News of the World..get to know about every news of the world..\n1 post • Page 1 of 1\nWho is online\nUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 1 guest", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Mapping Fruit Fly Brains: “a technical, multidisciplinary tour de force”\nIt’s question that has been puzzling neuroscientists for nearly a century: How do patterns of activity in neurons generate behavior? In other words, how does nerve activity in living things, from insects and snails to humans, result in their coordinated movements?\nThanks to work by a team of researchers that included Carey Priebe, a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, the answer is closer than ever before.\nWorking with researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Duke University, and using genetic tools, optogenetics and machine learning algorithms, Priebe and the team identified the brain neurons that result in every kind of movement made by fruit fly larvae. This, experts say, opens the possibility that scientists will eventually be able to build a similar neuron-behavior “atlas” in humans, connecting nerve activation not only with movements, but also with emotions and even thoughts.\nThe team targeted specific neurons in the nervous systems of more than 1,000 different genetic lines of fruit flies and then stimulated them, recording the behavior that resulted. The behavior was documented by thousands of hours of video, showing how almost 40,000 larvae wiggling, hunching and backing up, among other movements. This produced a very large data set to be tackled by Priebe, who used specially developed software to parse the enormous amount of data and sort it into 29 distinct behaviors. The result? A guide linking neurons with every movement larvae make.\nThe study was published in the April print edition of the journal, Science. A perspective piece on the research, published in the same edition, called the study “a technical, multidisciplinary tour de force.”\nUpdate 12/23/14: Mapping Drosophilia’s Brain", "label": "No"}

According to Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder of Environmental Working Group (EWG) and a leader in the environmental health movement, protecting yourself from skin cancer is more than just sunscreen; there’s an entire sun safety protocol to follow. Ken educated the Beautycounter community about his tips and tricks—and we’re sharing his words of wisdom with the Be Well community too.\n- Skin cancer, often overlooked in our current “tanning culture,” is a real public health threat.\n- During their lifetimes, 40%-50% of Americans who live to 65 will be diagnosed with at least one of two skin cancer tumors.\nHow To Find Safer Sunscreen\n- Many sunscreens use chemical sunblockers like oxybenzone, which soaks through skin, can trigger allergic skin reactions, and may be a hormone disruptor. Look for mineral sunscreens, like our Protect All Over Sunscreen and Dew Skin tinted moisturizer, which use non-nano zinc oxide—an effective, natural, and safer mineral sunblocker.\n- Prioritize broad-spectrum sunscreens.\n- Find water-resistant brands.\nWhat To Avoid\n- Ingredients like oxybenzone and vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)\n- Sunscreens with added insect repellent\n- Anything above SPF 50, which can give a false sense of security and has unclear added sun protection\n- Make sure you’re not using sunscreen as a way to prolong your hours in the sun.\n- Wear clothing with SPF, like rash guards, hats, and sunglasses.\n- Avoid getting a sunburn—especially children. It’s a significant risk factor in developing skin cancer later in life.\n- Read and share EWG’s recently released annual sun safety report.\nOur goal is to give you the tools to make better decisions—regardless of whether or not your sun safety solutions include Beautycounter.

{"text": "What causes volcanic eruptions and how can we predict them?\nVolcanic eruptions threaten tens of millions of people around the globe, but our understanding of their eruption mechanisms and triggers has barely advanced beyond our understanding of what happens if we shake up a bottle of beer and open the lid! Yes, we know that gases exsolve, bubbles form, and that if the pressure of the bubbles exceeds the confining pressure an eruption can occur.\nBut, many important aspects of volcanic eruptions are still not known. I investigate volcanic processes by performing experiments and computer simulations. I work together with geologists, physicists, chemists, and engineers to apply what we have learned in the lab to field studies of real volcanoes, such as Stromboli and Etna (Movie of Etna's July 2006 eruption). Our goal is to better understand volcanic processes and improve our ability to forecast volcanic eruptions.\nWe are studying how rapidly bubbles nucleate and grow in many melt compositions by performing experiments at 1 atm and at pressures corresponding to the upper crust using x-ray microtomography (Movie of experimental bubble growth). These experiments allow us to understand bubble growth mechanisms, how the bubble size distributions seen in nature are formed and what they tell us about the conditions under a volcano before its eruption. These experimental measurements are being combined with lattice Boltzmann simulations to investigate how bubble size distributions affect the permeability and thus the explosivity of volcanic systems.\nMeasurements of gases emanating from volcanoes are often used as monitoring tools for eruption forecasting. We are studying how the gas compositions can be affected by the not-so-subtle interactions between diffusion in the melt and increases in bubble growth rates. Our hypothesis is that changing ratios of gases such as F/S or Cl/S may reflect changes in bubble growth rates and therefore will provide additional information on the probability of an eruption in the near future.\nWe are studying the behavior of sulfur in volcanic systems because of its importance in volcano monitoring, its potential to affect Earth's global climate, and its potential role in mass extinctions. We are creating new models to calculate the saturation of silicate melts with sulfide and sulfate phases and the partitioning of sulfur between the melt and a coexisting fluid. We also are using x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) studies to understand the atomic-scale structure of S in silicate melts.\nWe use the experimental equipment in my laboratory to subject rock samples to temperatures and pressures that simulate conditions from the surface vents of volcanoes to depths of more than 100 km. We also perform computer simulation of volcanic processes with a parallel computer cluster. The results of our experiments are analyzed with the state-of-the-art suite of analytical laboratories in the department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and together with other colleagues in the GEOTOP-UQAM-McGill research center we can analyze almost any element and isotopic ratio (stable or radiogenic).

{"text": "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan\nA stately pleasure-dome decree,\nWhere Alph, the sacred river, ran\nThrough caverns measureless to man\nDown to a sunless sea.\nKubla Khan was the founder of the Mongol Dynasty in China. He ordered a grand palace to be built. The site of the palace was the place through which the sacred river Alph flowed through dark caves to the sea which was so deep where sunlight never reached.\nSo twice five miles of fertile ground\nWith walls and towers were girdled round,\nAnd there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,\nWhere blossomed many an incense-bearing tree,\nAnd here were forests ancient as the hills,\nEnfolding sunny spots of greenry.\nThe site of the palace was ten miles long. The walls and towers of the palace encircled a large area of beautiful garden with aromatic trees. It was surrounded by primitive forest which was as old as the hills in the area. There were many spots in the forest where sunshine peaked through.\nBut oh, that deep romantic chasm which slanted\nDown the green hill athwart a cedarn cover\nA savage place, as holy and enchanted\nAs ever beneath a waning moon was haunted\nBy woman wailing for her demon-lover\nThere was a deep fissure which went down the hill and it was surrounded by thick forest of cedar trees. It was a savage place and it was enchanted too. It was a haunted place, like a place underneath the waning moon. One could hear the cried of witches calling for their demon lover.\nWaning moon, witches and demon lover are used to depict an eerie place. The poet has tried to depict a haunted place which is often associated with witchcraft and magic.\nAnd from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,\nAs if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,\nA mighty fountain momently was forced,\nAmid whose swift half-intermitted burst\nHuge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,\nOr chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail\nAn amid these dancing rocks at once and ever\nIf flung up momently the sacred river.\nThere is never-ending turmoil seething from the deep fissure in the ground. It is seething as if the earth is panting to breathe its last. A mighty fountain gushes out intermittently from the chasm, as if venting all the anger hidden inside the earth. Along with the fountain, come out rocks to fall again on the ground, as hailstorm. The poet has compared these rebounding rocks with grains and chaff, which jump and fall when the thresher uses his flail. Sometimes, the river also jumps in the air along with these dancing rocks.\nFive miles meandering with a mazy motion\nThrough wood and dale the sacred river ran\nThen reached the caverns measureless to man\nAn sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean,\nAnd amid this tumult Kubla heard from far\nAncestral voices prophesying war\nThe sacred river meandered through a maze of channels through the forest and the valley. After that the river reached the caves which are too deep and long to be conceived by human imagination. Then the river sank in the lifeless ocean with a roar. Here, the poet has beautifully juxtaposed two contrasting traits, i.e. of thundering noise when a river falls in ocean and the calm ocean.\nAmid all this agitation, Kubla heard that his ancestors were forecasting about a war for which he needs to be ready. Here, the poet means to say that life is not a bed of roses. You get to see many ups and downs in life. Pleasure and challenges are bundled together.\nThe shadow of the dome of pleasure\nFloated midway on the waves\nWhere was heard the mingled measure\nFrom the fountain and the caves\nIt was a miracle of rare device\nA sunny pleasure dome with caves of ice\nThe shadow of the grand dome is falling on the waves and is giving an impression that the shadow is floating on the waves. One could hear the music of the nature from the mountains and caves. The poet says that the palace is a fine example of design and architecture. Its dome is warm because it is well lit with the sun. But the inner parts of the palace are cold because of presence of ice underneath.\nA damsel with a dulcimer\nIn a vision once I saw\nIt was an Abyssinian maid\nAnd on her dulcimer she played\nSinging of Mount Abora\nCould I revive within me\nHer symphony and song\nTo such a deep delight, ‘twould win me,\nA lady is playing a dulcimer and singing a song about Mount Abora. Dulcimer is a string instrument. The lady is from Abyssinia, which means that she has been brought from a distant land. Her song about the Mount Abora signifies that the lady is feeling homesick and hence is singing about her homeland. If anyone could revive that song inside himself, it would be a pleasure to do that.\nWe can correlate it with the condition of slaves and migrant workers when situation forces them to live and work away from their homeland. In today’s globalised world many people leave their countries to live and work in foreign nations. They often enjoy the fruits of success but they always miss the aroma of their motherland’s soil.\nKumar, Dharmender. \"Kubla Khan (Xanadu) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge\".

Especially your brain – which won’t be finished developing until you’re about 24.\nIt’s proven that the younger you are, the easier it is for your brain to become dependent on things like alcohol and other drugs. Exposing your brain to these substances sooner rather than later results in huge negatives, and could definitely mean a longer road towards recovery.\nWhat Could It Hurt?\nAlcohol and other drugs temporarily increase the chemical messenger in your brain called dopamine, which makes you feel good. But this system can be ‘hijacked’ when you use alcohol or drugs while your brain is still developing.\nWhen you use drugs or alcohol, a new neuropathway is built based on reward. As with learning something new, this circuit is easier to build and strengthen in your young and agile brain. The result is that you can become addicted more quickly – and more heavily – than adults do. And, you may not even recognize that you rely on these substances to feel normal – and may need more of them to feel the same effects.\nDrugs and alcohol have more permanent and lasting effects on the teenage brain. Even short-term use can interfere with your ability to learn and remember – and impact your academic success.\nUsing drugs and alcohol interferes with your brain’s ability to produce its own feel good chemicals – so you might not enjoy activities, feel depressed and may not enjoying hanging out with your friends like you used to.\nYou might not do as well in school – including sports and activities.

{"text": "While the warming conditions in the Arctic and the continuing seasonal melting of the permafrost will produce increased rates of global warming, the amounts particularly in the latter case are very uncertain. Our best guess is that it will take, perhaps, centuries for the permafrost to fully decay and produce its effects. We really don’t know how long it will take and what its effects will be. The permafrost is like a giant compost heap, not worked at all in the summer months, but active on its hard-to-work surface during the summer when it slowly releases some of its greenhouse gases. Below the surface a foot or so or even as far as 2-3 feet down everything is frozen solid. We’ve no ideas how to work the pile so far, and thus we cannot influence the rate at which microorganisms will affect it and its conversion to a compost that might even be useful in farming. The best we can say is that as decomposition occurs we will add to the greenhouse gas burden of the atmosphere in ways and at levels that are hard to predict. The tree line around the Arctic is starting to advance significantly and may be expected to take up significant carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, but is unlikely to to compensate for permafrost decomposition as it accelerates. We are developing some permafrost experts who will consider the problem more thoroughly; however, for now permafrost decay is a significant wild card in the potential contributors to global warming we can expect to see going forward.\nSecond and third wild cards are the continuing melting of ice at the poles and in the release of significant block of above sea-level glacial ice in both Greenland and the Antarctic.\nMuch of the ice in the Arctic will more than likely melt over the next several decades. We will see more open water in summer in the Arctic and a gradual slow increase in average temperature over the Arctic region. This process will also slowly affect temperature and weather globally since the open water and thermal redistribution of the heated atmosphere and heated oceans over the entire planet will be affected. As I noted in a previous post, we understand this process will change weather patterns, but we don’t understand the particulars well enough to predict how and where even the most obvious changes will occur and with what ferocity (if any). In general, when new patterns of temperature equilibration occur in large complex systems, we should expect some unusual and even wildly violent weather to accompany it. But we don’t know when, where or how such patterns will be produced. Thus, we have the chance to be surprised by new kinds of weather patterns which will likely be transient and not represent long-term recurring formations.\nAdditional north polar sea ice is mostly surface ice and its melting will not significantly alter sea levels. However, an abrupt loss of the Greenland glacier and/or the glacial shelf in the Western Antarctic would be expected to produce major effects. These large above-sea-level edifices would both increase sea level and produce potentially serious though short term effects on ocean salinity as they melt. The salinity changes have the potential to disrupt the ocean conveyer belt currents and thus the efficiency with which heat is transferred off the equator. Such effects could substantially change coastal weather patterns globally, and put coastal regions where major population centers exist under the sudden more extreme effects of storm surges and a permanent flooding treat. While in some cases sea walls may provide protection, the timeline between when it becomes obvious that such protections are needed and when needs are critical may not be very wide.\nIn general, by slowing the rate of global warming through reduced power generation using fossil fuels, we can diminish or delay the risks of the several wild cards in play. We can slow the melting of Arctic ice and also slow the release of the Greenland or West Antarctic glaciers. Glacial release should be delayed as long as possible. Best case scenarios suggest that increases in sea level by the end of the century will be of the order of 1-2 meters. If either the high end permafrost evolution of greenhouse gases occurs together with the release of one or both of the major glaciers, then all bets are off. Sea level will rise substantially more than predicted, and coastal regions including island nations with abundant population centers may be at substantially increased risk due to violent and unpredictable weather patterns either from further alterations in the more open Arctic or to changes in local ocean salinity due to released glaciers melting in open seas.\nThe two glaciers and the permafrost decomposition rate are the three major wild cards affecting planet wide changes from global warming in this century.", "label": "No"}

We created this page for the history of the style of this great village.\nGangapur is a historical village of the Pak-o-Hind history.\nSir Ganga Ram\nThis great village was governed by a great Hindu engineer named Sir Ganga Ram. Sir Ganga Ram was born in April 1851 at Mangtanwala about 40 miles from Lahore and 14 miles from Nankana Sahib, his father who was Assistant Sub-inspector at a Police station later moved to Amritsar. Sir Ganga Ram mastered in calligraphy and Persian. He passed his matriculation from Government High School and joined the Government College Lahore in 1869 Afterwards he obtained a scholarship to the Thompson Engineering College Roorki in 1871, where he passed with the Gold medal in 1873.\nSir Ganga Ram retired in 1903. He died in London on July 10, 1927. His body was cremated and ashes were brought to India, a portion of his ashes was immersed in river Ganga and the rest buried in Lahore on the banks of Ravi as by the Hindu religion.\nThe great Urdu writer Saadat Hassan Manto writes about Sir Ganga Ram. In the riots of 1947, a group of mob attacked the statue of Sir Ganga Ram, by throwing stones. When the police came some people were injured in the clash and the leader of the group was taken to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.\nWhen he recovered and came to his senses he saw a big picture of Sir Ganga Ram hanging in front of him in the ward. Sir Ganga Ram earned millions, most of which he gave to charity. Sir Ganga Ram Heritage Foundation Lahore tries to enlighten the next generation about the contribution of great sons of Punjab by highlighting their work. He was a zooming civil engineer, of that era. He was a leading well-wisher of Human beings and agriculturists of his times, who established the Renala Hydral Power Station in Renala Khurd, Punjab in 1925.\nBamba water System\nIn 1898 Sir Ganga Ram established a water storage and pressure system to preserve water and then generate pressure to use irrigation of wheat and other crops. This water system that creates the pressure of about 8 to 10 feet from the surface of the earth and that was used to transfer water from low level to a high level for the irrigation of whole village crops. It was called Bamba. This system served the inhabitants of the village until 1998. But now it is extinguished and transferred to the only history.\nGangapur has a vast Garden at that time in the village, spread over an area of (25) acres that in past was about 50 acres. Now this garden generates an income of about 20 lac that is used for the village reconciliation.\nGhora Train (Anokhi Sawari)\nThe reason of the popularity is mostly by Trolley with a Horse. This is a unique system in which a horse pull a buggy called thella with force over a small 2 feet wide track on the earth. This is a unique traveling system that was launched in 1903. thousands of people come from the world come to see this unique Anokhi Sawari System.\nDue to lack of resources and un-educated management, this system was revoked in 1993. But After the high effort of Nazim and village inhabitants, DCO Faisalabad provided sufficient funds to restart this Anokhi Sawari in march 2012. Now it is again providing fun and entertainment for its visitors from all over Pakistan and the world.\nGhanta Ghar Gangapur\nFaisalabad is the famous city of Pakistan due to a central point to all it big bazaars which lead them to a central point called Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower.

{"text": "Pentecost 10: 28 July Luke 11:1-13\nIn today’s passage we have the shorter and probably earlier form of the Lord’s Prayer. Luke brings it in a context which teaches about prayer. It is just as much also teaching about God.\nThis is already the case in the simple way with which the Lord’s prayer begins: ‘Father’. Jesus was one of those who gave the formal designation of God as the great father in heaven and creator a familiar tone: ‘father’. Elsewhere we find traces of the common family term: ‘abba’. It is not baby talk, but it does reflect the kind of intimacy one might expect in a family. It assumes a parent who is not remote but accessible, not violent and overbearing, but supportive and caring. As verses 11-13 suggest, this is the kind of parent who is responsive. That is also the point of verses 9-10.\nThe kind of supportive relationship Jesus has with the Father is not exclusive, but rather a model of the relationship which all can have. That is made possible because of the kind of God God is. This is a theme repeated elsewhere, not least in the image of the father in the parable of the prodigal son. Compassion and caring are central.\nJesus would have known about abusive fathers, just as he knew about abusive rulers. He used the ambiguous images of king and father because they were part of the tradition in which he was nourished. He engaged that tradition critically, subverting its violence and asserting its love. The ambiguity of the traditional images of king and father has been reflected in the very diverse consequences which they have spawned throughout history. Interpreters of the tradition in every generation have a responsibility to engage these images critically, helping people perceive where they bring life and where they bring death. This ambiguity needs to be named, not least because among our hearers are many, both women and men, for whom the image of father is almost irrecoverably destructive.\nHallowing means respecting, treating as holy. This is fundamental to our relationship with God and to all other relationships. Acknowledging the holiness, the dignity, the otherness of the other, must not be reduced to a metaphor of cringing before one who is more powerful, even if that is dressed up respectably as obeisance before the almighty. For then it reinforces the assumption that might is right and the bigger and stronger is the better. Such thinking often results in abusive relationships. Parents emulate their god. People emulate their god. The victims are disempowered. There is, however, an awe in relationships which flows from profound respect and love. It is often when we are standing on our feet face-to-face or bowed, not the one before the other, but together in service and mutual care.\n‘Your kingdom come’ remains in the realm of the same ambiguity and has been equally a source of life and death. Our eucharist remembers the image of that kingdom as a great feast where all are included, from east and west and north and south, where swords become ploughs, spears become pruning hooks. It is also a feast focused on a life broken and poured out in compassion. This is one of the central images and actions which has the capacity to control the ambiguity, if we make the connections. But even it is capable of subversion until it becomes a feast of exclusion and a trivialised appendage for people claiming privilege.\nDay by day human need has a firm place in Jesus’ prayer. There can be no separation between visions and life here and now. The same need for food and forgiveness is fundamental to every human being. That is why it is also part of the vision of the kingdom. As the prayer continues, Jesus has no shame in abandoning the ideal of the hero; instead we are to pray not to have to face the hard times. This will be as much personal as it is linked with the adversity we are likely to face if we take the kingdom vision as our agenda and engage in all our relationships on the basis that the other is holy.\nEmbraced within the teaching about the Lord’s prayer in 11:1-4 and the assurances of being heard in 11:9-13 is a very down-to-earth parable in 11:5-8. As recent passages have highlighted, hospitality was of major importance in the ancient world. What happens when a friend arrives unexpectedly? There could be no question that hospitality would be expected and would be given. Even among friends it would be irksome to be woken in the night to be asked to help with some of tomorrow’s fresh bread. We might imagine that in a small Palestinian house a disruption would be quite major. The household would be disturbed, the secure gate would be unlocked. It is made to sound quite onerous and probably was. It was stretching friendship a bit far! But Jesus is realistic. The social pressure on people to respond to the requirements of hospitality was so great and the shame so great for all concerned when it was not provided, that the poor fellow would get up and respond to the request.\nIt is typical of Jesus to argue theology by using the paradigms (parables) of everyday life. It is a kind of theology of reasonableness. The argument works like this: ‘everyone knows’ that a friend will help another out in a situation like that, even if reluctantly. Why can’t you think of God being like that? The same logic is implicit in the parable of the prodigal son. ‘Everyone knows’ that this is what a father would (want to) do (even though it was in that case contrary to behavioural norms for a dignified father). Everyone knows something about compassion: why can’t you think about God like that?\nIt is a kind of secular theology in the sense that the argument is not from the great biblical tradition, citing the epics or the law. Instead it stands in the tradition of sages who employ the everyday to do theology, also rooted in biblical tradition. We should not imagine that Jesus played the one off against the other. Clearly his theology is informed by the great tradition, but it is also grounded in perceptions about human life and human relationships. The tradition has a way of being hijacked by the articulate and educated, and then employed in ways which reflect their agenda. That agenda is usually about holding onto power and privilege and creates a theology of God in those terms: the most powerful and therefore the most privileged. That easily becomes the basis for hierarchical control.\nInstead, Jesus democratises the basis for doing theology, locating it in the human relations which we all know and experience, and where we all have some basic insight and understanding, whether we can articulate it in abstract or not. Do we know what it is like to love and be loved? Then we are well on the way to a sound theology. What is more, it is a sound basis for critical theology where you can then see through ‘father’ and ‘king’ or ‘kingdom’ to the qualities they are meant to represent and which they often stifle. God is not a ‘father’ and a ‘king’. God is not a male. God is not a claimer of privilege. God is like the mum or dad who really cares (and confronts us with reality), who is holy and makes you feel holy. So prayer is an activity of intimacy and awe and thus a model for all relationships; it is the language of the kingdom. It brings the gift of the Spirit.\nEpistle: Pentecost 10: 28 July Colossians 2:6-15 (16-19)", "label": "No"}

Part of this process includes stability tests, which are also known as shelf-life tests. The goal of these tests is to ensure sustained efficacy and prevent harmful effects in internal or external applications on living beings. When these types of products are stored or shipped, the manufacturer needs to know at what point, and under what conditions, they will begin to lose their effectiveness and when degradation will set in. This in turn affects the packaging, the expiration date, and the instructions for handling and storage. Especially when it comes to drugs and the active substances they contain, strict compliance with the specifications defined for stability and shelf-life is a must.\nQuality control from the get-go\nStability tests are used for quality assurance in development, production, and packaging processes. If a product is to be marketed at a global level, the testing must take into consideration the different climates involved. This is especially true for the development of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and biotechnological and diagnostic products, but it applies to homoeopathic drug products as well. Aside from the pharmaceutical industry, similar testing is also necessary in the food industry and the automotive field. In the latter case, raw materials must undergo stability testing because of their intermittent exposure to heavy loads, such as stresses occurring during rapid changes in temperature, meaning that climate is a significant factor here as well.\nNo regulatory approval without stability studies\nIn a stability test, every environmental condition that a product could be exposed to is simulated in a laboratory setting. For pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, as well as foodstuffs, this mainly concerns climatic influences, since temperature, light, and humidity can all have a negative impact on shelf-life and effectiveness. Once the relevant climate zone has been simulated, extensive microbiological, physical, or chemical analytics are performed as part of the stability study. Here, different parameters must be tested depending on the climate in which the product is to be used. This means that, in some cases, large-scale stability studies can be necessary, e.g., to account for all climate types when products are to be marketed globally.\nStrict testing criteria help to ensure safety\nThe procedure for conducting stability tests on drugs is governed by the ICH Guidelines (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use), of which ICH Quality Guidelines Q1A–Q1F play a particularly important role. The WHO (World Health Organization) and ICH work together to harmonize varying requirements in the different climate zones, which include the temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also publishes its own stability testing guidelines based on the ICH requirements—for example, its “Guidance for Industry. Q1A(R2) Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and Products.”\nTo ensure that stability tests are conducted in compliance with applicable guidelines, certain specifications must be met. The challenge here is to design a self-contained testing environment that is capable of accurately simulating the parameters defined for a given climate zone.\nHumidity test chamber – A cost-efficient solution\nThe environmental conditions found in each climate zone can be reproduced extremely accurately in the lab. It doesn’t even take much space to do so when testing active substances, pharmaceutical products or cosmetics. Humidity test chambers from BINDER are equipped with programmable temperature controls, humidifier devices, and light sources. The product under evaluation can be tested over a defined period of time with little effort and at a reasonable cost, eliminating the need to purchase a more expensive climate chamber.\nAccuracy is the key requirement for ensuring product safety. Humidity test chambers from BINDER are perfectly equipped for a wide range of different applications. Each series is available in multiple sizes. One unique feature that comes standard on all chambers is the versatile water supply. That and the sturdy dual swivel casters that include a brake on larger systems make flexible setup in the lab simple and easy. In addition, a preheating chamber technology ensures that set climate parameters remain constant, even over longer periods of time. All humidity test chambers have been engineered to maintain the uniformity and consistency of the set climate conditions (temperature, humidity, light).\nBINDER technology you can grow with\nWith 5 different series of humidity test chambers to choose from, BINDER does more than cover the broad spectrum of requirements for each customer’s individual climate parameters: Every single constant climate chamber can also be expanded to include a host of different accessories, such as a data logger, LED strip lights, illumination cassettes, additional racks, and more. This gives customers plenty of freedom to design their very own high-quality unit. The system hardware and software complement one another perfectly, and the interfaces provided allow users to record stability data, control processes, and monitor operation. This provides an optimal solution for documenting the results of the stability test.\nAdditional information and an overview of our constant climate chambers are available in this video.\nFor stability tests involving a simulation of the dynamic conditions found in some climates—such as material tests performed in the automotive industry —our dynamic climate chambers offer an ideal solution.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Does drinking water contains metal in united states\n| Robin Collins\nIn the past few years in the United States, the drinking water crisis has brought heavy metals in the drinking water to the forefront of many people’s minds.\nNow, people all across the US have started expressing their concern about the presence of heavy metals in drinking water and looking for different ways to make the water safe & clean.\nThis why, we have come up with a guide about heavy drinking water, where they come from, health issues associated with heavy metals, and different ways to remove them – so stay connected till the end.\nAlso, read our latest guide about Symptoms of Bad Tap Water\nWhat are heavy metals?\nHeavy metals are defined as metals of relatively top-density and of high-relative atomic weight and are of specific concern from the point of view of human health.\nAdditionally, examples of heavy metals include Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Chromium, Thallium, Lead, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, and Selenium as well.\nSo, these metallic elements are considered systemic toxicants and are called to be capable of including multiple Organ damage, even at the lower level of exposure and they are classified as human carcinogens.\nYour body still does have a need for trace quantities of certain metals like Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Iron, and Calcium too. But, plenty of metals that are required for health at trace level can cause toxicity in higher concentrations.\nWhat are the health issues connected with heavy metals in drinking water?\nOne of the major problems with heavy metals is their tendency to bioaccumulation in the human body that’s that they accumulate at a faster rate than the human body is able to remove them.\nHowever, this is a process that may take place in food sauces, where the metals are more concentrated the higher-up food chain they reach, and Mercury in salmon is a fine example.\nHeavy metal poising, however seldom consequences from large-one-off doses, but more often from regular small-quantity which produce an immediate effect. In addition, heavy metal contamination is of particular concern for young, pregnant women, and nursing women too.\nSuch symptoms of heavy metals poising may include, so take a look.\n· General feeling of sick\n· Pains in the abdominal region\n· Difficulty in breathing\n· High B.P\n· Changes in vision\nOf course, there can be plenty of causes of the above symptoms and this may lead to heavy metal contamination being unseen as a contributor.\nWhere heavy metals do come from?\nWhile certain amounts of heavy metals may naturally occur in soil nowadays, agricultural and pharmaceutical processes offer an increased opportunity for contamination of surface water. Additionally, landfill websites and sewage disposals may contribute to higher levels of heavy metal contamination.\nPollution is very famous in point source areas like mining, foundries, smelters, and many other metal-based industrial operations where rainfall can wash the heavy metal which contains waste products into the water table and where release into the atmosphere can enter the water sources respectively.\nAnother ordinary source of heavy metal contamination is lead water piping, still there In some older properties and a lot of vaccines still contain mercury and also contain aluminum in their ingredients.\nDifferent Ways To Remove Heavy Metals From Water\nThere are many ways to remove heavy metals from water, but some are more effective than others. Heavy metals can come from a variety of sources, including industry, agriculture, and even natural sources. Regardless of the source, it is important to remove these metals from water to protect human health and the environment.\nReverse osmosis is a process that forces water through a very fine membrane, which removes impurities like heavy metals. This is a very effective way to remove heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive and require a lot of water to operate.\nIon exchange is a process that uses charged ions to remove impurities from water. This is a very effective way to remove heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive.\nThis type of carbon has been treated to make it very porous. This makes it great at adsorbing impurities like heavy metals. Activated carbon is a very effective way to remove heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive.\nDistillation is a process that involves boiling water and then condensing the steam back into the water. This leaves impurities behind, including heavy metals. Distillation is a very effective way to remove heavy metals from water, but it can be time-consuming.\nFiltration is a process that uses a filter to remove impurities from water. This is a very effective way to remove heavy metals from water, but it can be expensive.\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat are the most common metals found in drinking water?\nThe most common metals found in drinking water are iron, manganese, and zinc. These metals are naturally occurring and are not added to water during the treatment process. They can enter the water supply through runoff from mines or industrial facilities, or from leaching from pipes and other infrastructure.\nWhat are the health effects of drinking water with elevated levels of metals?\nThe health effects of drinking water with elevated levels of metals will depend on the type and concentration of metal present. Generally, consuming high levels of metals can lead to gastrointestinal distress, kidney damage, or other health problems. Some metals, such as lead, can also have neurological effects.\nIs there anything I can do to remove metals from my drinking water?\nIf you are concerned about the presence of metals in your drinking water, there are a few things you can do. First, you can have your water tested by a certified laboratory to determine the concentration of metals present.\nSecond, you can install a water filtration system designed to remove metals from water. Finally, you can contact your local water utility to inquire about treatment options for metals in the water supply.\nDrinking water that contains metals is generally safe, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks. Elevated levels of certain metals can be harmful if consumed over long periods of time.\nIf you are concerned about the presence of metals in your drinking water, you can have it tested or install a water filtration system.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Date of this Version\nPrevious research has shown that seasonal factors provide one of the most important ways to improve forecast accuracy. For example, in forecasts over an 18-month horizon for 68 monthly economic series from the M-Competition, Makridakis et al. (1984, Table 14) found that seasonal adjustments reduced the MAPE from 23.0 to 17.7 percent, an error reduction of 23%. On the other hand, research has also shown that seasonal factors sometimes increase forecast errors (e.g., Nelson, 1972).\nSo, when forecasting with a data series measured in intervals that represent part of a year, should one use seasonal factors or not? Statistical tests have been devised to answer this question, and they have been quite useful. However, some people might say that the question is not fair. Why does it have to be either/or? Shouldn’t the question be \"to what extent should seasonal factors be used for a given series?\"\nDate Posted: 14 June 2007\nThis document has been peer reviewed.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The History of Digital photography The background of digital photography traces its roots back to 1822 when Joseph Niepce produced the very first photograph on a photo plate covered in silver salts. Niepce produced the initial photo by enabling an image to be generated on the plate while the camera was put inside of a cam obscura. Niepce let home plate and also video camera sit for several hrs, which resulted in a much longer exposure, leading to darker areas of home plate. This very first picture was called a daguerreotype, and also it was Louis Daguerre that developed a comparable procedure in 1837. Photography owes its imaginative impact to the way in which images are made. The procedure of producing photos is akin to paint. The photographer needs to regulate the vantage point of the shot and also the precise moment when the image is exposed. The picture must record the important top qualities of the subject, interpreting them to his/her taste. Digital photography has been called the most important creation considering that the printing press due to its ability to record as well as distribute info about humankind. In the early nineteenth century, shade pictures began to become preferred. Eastman Kodak invented the Kodachrome film, and many digital photographers began making use of the brand-new technique. Nonetheless, a small number of photographers established specialized techniques for catching shade pictures. In fact, some of the earliest color pictures were recorded by researchers, magicians, and innovators. This was the genesis of modern-day digital photography. With this new strategy, digital photographers might generate photographs without making use of costly chemicals. Although cam setups are no longer as crucial as the innovative facet of a photograph, they are still essential, and understanding them is an useful skill to find out. In the adhering to chapters, we will certainly talk about shutter rate, aperture, ISO, and make-up. Once you have actually grasped the essentials, you’ll have the ability to make decisions concerning these elements and also capture fantastic photos. And keep in mind, practice makes excellent. If you intend to prevent foolish errors, it is best to practice! So, experiment with different electronic camera setups, angles, as well as illumination sets to grasp brand-new strategies. Today, photographs are common. We can see them in practically every aspect of our lives, from publications and newspapers to television, posters, and also web. Also our tickets and also ID cards are covered with pictures. And they play a crucial function in our residential lives. Snapshots and also digital video cameras are the resource of the majority of pictures. And, as we’ve discovered, digital photography is an art kind that can be shown others. This can be done via websites like Facebook as well as Instagram. Photographic procedures vary from tool to tool, and also a photo can be made with any one of them. The very first modern “essential tripack” film was created by Kodak in 1935. The procedure catches three color components on a multi-layer solution. One layer is delicate to the red portion of the range, while an additional is animated to the eco-friendly and blue parts of the spectrum. The resulting photos are after that chemically “established” right into a noticeable photo.\nThis post topic: Advertising & Marketing", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Agile Methodology is a practice which helps promote iteration of development throughout the development life cycle of the particular project. When compared to waterfall model, agile testing is concurrent in both development and testing abilities.\nAgile testing is all about changes and making differences in requirements even in the future with later on better development phases. It is very important to understand the basics of Agile methodology.\nThe main objective of Agile testing is to deliver the product with minimal functionalities to the client itself. These only happen when you have adapted to agile development fully.\nAgile testing is a continuous process normally and is done in multiple phases. With every new delivery adds more features ,smoother functions and more capabilities added on to the product. This method results in higher customer satisfaction.\nWhen a testing team uses Agile methodology the test does not finish in just one phase it is done in various intervals. Testing it earlier ensured minimal damage and risk in the end application.\nApplications with minimal functionalities are ready faster and hence satisfying the customer/client.\nThe process of testing is conducted by the entire team and not by testers.\nInstead of test documentation there are lightweight documents and checklist suffices.\nThe developers and testers only consider the application complete once the tests are implemented and tested.\nWith advantages come disadvantages. There are some of the disadvantages which you shouldn’t over look.\nThe whole test team may not work on developing a consistent and powerful test system that can be maintained for years.\nBug fixes and releases happen more often and more of the number in regression bugs increase.\nThe team need to turn around quickly and hence robbing some time k to work on detailed documentation like test strategies.\nAgile testing methodology poses some of the challenges. Testers should possess full functionality and in-depth knowledge of the application which is under test. Agile method proposes an incremental and iteration approach to software designing. With the help of Agile testing, errors can be fixed even in the middle of the ongoing project. At the end every sprint, user acceptance is performed. Agile testing enables all the testers’ ad developers to work together and hence boosting that performance. This requires close communication with the developers and together they can analyses all the requirements and planning of the particular project allotted to them.\nEver since the Agile methodology came up with its founder willing to do with laborious realities of the traditional waterfall model.\nAutomation tool selection plays a very big role in agile testing. The selection of relevant automation tools are very potentially important factor. Licensed tools are very important. For example it imposes strict security access to different types and standards users, especially when it comes to accessing various resources.\nThe primary attention of the process should be on ensuring whether the order obtains the quality delivery of automation test scripts within the given time and as afforded by agile methodology.\nImportant metrics that can be obtained for usage of Agile are:\nEfforts in hours which cannot contribute to a goal\nDrag factor can be improved by reducing the number of resources shared and by reducing through amount of work\nEstimates can be increased by percentage of drag factor\nAmount of backlog can be converted to shippable functionality of sprint.\nNumber of units’ tests are added.\nTime taken to complete the particular build allotted.\nVarious types of bugs which are detected in iteration or maybe in the previous ones.\nIn contrast the Agile methodology emphasis upon the open collaboration and open ended interaction between team members thus restrictive policies which affects users and can have negative impact on the overall cohesion within the team and hence results in a very bad environment within the work space.\nOne of the main objective of the process should be to ensure that in order to maintain the quality delivery of the test scripts it should be automated in a more standard and disciplinary way.\nAbout Author: Sangram is a tech enthusiast, presently working as a Content Expert with Crestech software systems.

{"text": "We will make better decisions on all the great issues of the day and for the century to come, if we better understand the past. – Gough Whitlam\nThe celebration of the “Queen’s birthday” in Australia is a perfect reflection of a fading, remnant, relationship. Commemorated in the Australian states as a public holiday on three different days – none of which is her birthday – and honouring an event of dubious significance, the “Queen’s birthday” reminds us that, despite our national independence, the symbolic ties of colonial deference remain.\nThe “Queen’s birthday” may seem a fitting if absurd genuflection to a powerless relic of a former time, and in itself confirmation that the Queen no longer has a role in post-dominion matters. But things are not always as they seem.\nNeither sovereignty nor national independence flowed neatly from federation. The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act created Australia as a federation of the former colonies and a constitutional monarchy, with all the tension inherent in that term – between a democratic government chosen by the people and a monarchical head of state whose ultimate constitutional power stemmed solely from inherited aristocratic assumption and unchallenged legal privilege.\nThe gradual devolution of Australian autonomy appeared assured at the Imperial Conference of 1926. This affirmed the relationship between Great Britain and its dominions as being that of:\n… autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown.\nThe critical qualifier in this proclamation of an imperial gift of national autonomy, equality and independence is this: “though united by a common allegiance to the Crown”.\nThe imperial assertion of continued dominion allegiance to the Crown was a stark counterpoint to the proclaimed national autonomy. Indeed, it undermined the very autonomy and equality of nations the conference so proudly affirmed.\nFive years after the Imperial Conference, the Statute of Westminster gave statutory expression to the principles of equality established at the Imperial Conference and vested full legislative authority and independence in the “dominions”.\nNevertheless, it remained the case that some bills would continue to require the Queen’s assent to be passed into law. The Statute of Westminster also granted dominion ministers the right of direct access to the sovereign. This access had previously been available only indirectly through UK ministers and reflected their then incomplete post-colonial status.\nA fight for independence\nYet, in reality, neither of these critical junctures in the evolving British–Australian relationship created the clear-cut path to national independence that these paternalistic statements of ceded imperial power might suggest.\nAlthough the dominions were entitled to separate representation at the League of Nations and subsequently the United Nations, as made clear at the Imperial Conference, the cultural expectation of continued British primacy and Australian dominion subservience remained.\nIt can be seen in the British attitude toward the efforts of Australia’s minister for external affairs, H.V. Evatt, to champion the role of the smaller nations against the Great Powers at the San Francisco conference in 1945 that established the ground rules for the UN.\nEvatt’s insistence that Australia would take its own independent position as an autonomous nation in these high-level international negotiations infuriated the British representatives at the fledgling discussions over the UN.\nAt a preliminary meeting of Commonwealth nations in London, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had bemoaned Evatt’s defiant independent stance.\nDescribing the Commonwealth as “the third of the Great Powers”, Churchill argued that the Commonwealth could only maintain its influence by ensuring unity among members and speaking with one voice – and that one voice of course would be Britain’s, not Australia’s.\nThese expectations of British administrative, legal and political authority, based more in the established imperial mindset, behaviours and networks than an exercise of formal political control, remained powerful resistors to change throughout the 20th century.\nThe undercurrent of lasting imperial privilege and hierarchy proved to be a major obstacle in ending the complex web of residual colonial ties across legal, constitutional and political domains.\nIn particular, continued allegiance to the British Crown as the imperial condition of dominion nationhood was a political oxymoron. It cast an impossible constraint on the form of national autonomy, while Australian allegiance to the British Crown was superimposed on the representative model of parliamentary democracy.\nThe fundamental contradiction this established at the heart of the Australian polity remained largely dormant during the long years under the avowed Anglophile prime minister Sir Robert Menzies, until inevitably rupturing along the faultlines of divided allegiance – to the British Crown on the one hand and to Australian democratic governance on the other – with the 1972 election of the Whitlam Labor government.\nWhitlam tries to loosen the ties\nGough Whitlam came to office with a core policy agenda of ending the residual colonial ties between Australia and Britain.\nAlthough largely seen as ceremonial and symbolic, these colonial links were to be immensely significant in the trajectory of the Whitlam government and its dismissal threeyears later.\nWhitlam moved rapidly on some of these. He ended the British honours system and introduced Australian honours, introduced an Australian national anthem to replace God Save the Queen, changed the Queen’s title by removing arcane references to God and Empire, and, in 1974, removed the words “God save the Queen” from the official proclamation dissolving parliament.\nEighteen months after his second election victory in the double dissolution of May 1974, Whitlam was peremptorily removed from office by the Queen’s representative in Australia, Governor-General Sir John Kerr, without warning and despite Whitlam maintaining a clear majority in the House of Representatives at all times.\nConcerns were immediately raised over the possible role of Buckingham Palace and British authorities in this unprecedented vice-regal action. The suspicion that the Queen knew more about Kerr’s intentions than has ever been publicly acknowledged has grown in recent years with the Queen’s embargo of her correspondence with Kerr at the time of Whitlam’s dismissal.\nOf all the residual colonial ties, the one that Whitlam found particularly abhorrent, and was determined to sever, was the right of appeal from some state supreme courts to the Privy Council. In his view:\nNo people with an ounce of self-respect would allow decisions made by their own judges … to be overruled by judges sitting in another country.\nWhitlam described this as an “absurd” and “ludicrous” situation. Yet his efforts to end remaining state Privy Council appeals were stymied at every point.\nWhitlam’s attorney-general, Lionel Murphy, reported he had struck nothing but intransigence, non-co-operation and obstruction from the British authorities in the government’s moves to implement this core policy.\nReturning from his first visit to England as prime minister in 1973, Whitlam was clearly frustrated by the UK’s reluctance to end colonial ties when he told reporters, more in hope than confidence:\nWe are a separate country from Britain. We are an entirely independent country.\nA tense meeting with Edward Heath, the British Conservative prime minister, the following year saw little change. An exasperated Whitlam again declared that:\nAll these colonial relics are incompatible with the position of Australia as a separate, sovereign country.\nWhen the Whitlam government was removed from office by Kerr, three years later, these state-based appeals to the Privy Council remained, unchanged.\nWhat we know about the Palace’s role\nThe archival records of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) covering these official visits are at once illuminating and disturbing. They show a troubling lack of respect for such a significant engagement with a senior member of a new Australian government.\nMurphy’s visit was, after all, the first official visit by any of Whitlam’s cabinet to England. And yet, even before his arrival, the FCO files show that British authorities viewed Murphy, and indeed the Whitlam government itself, as a troublesome interloper whose presence they barely tolerated and whose policy concerns they did not share.\nMore than mere intransigence, or even simply a refusal to accept the legitimacy of the Whitlam government, these archival records disclose profound breaches of confidence, secrecy and even deception of Whitlam by the FCO, the British High Commission in Canberra, and the Queen’s private secretary Sir Martin Charteris. They show a partisan pattern of disrespect for and undermining of the new Labor government.\nMost significantly, far from any equality of national status, “in no way subordinate one to another” professed at the Imperial Conference, these files reveal the FCO’s brazen presumption – “our right as the colonial power” – to deceive the prime minister, to liaise in secret with the conservative states and, ultimately, to intervene in Australian politics to prevent the government holding a half-Senate election to resolve a stalemate in the Senate over the passage of supply bills.\nFrom October 16, 1975, opposition senators refused to vote on the government’s supply bills, which provided the annual funds for government expenditure. In the new political vernacular, supply was “blocked”.\nCalling the half-Senate election, which was then due, had been Whitlam’s resolution to this unprecedented situation since the day supply was first blocked. The Labor caucus had voted unanimously in support of Whitlam calling the half-Senate election “at a time of his choosing”.\nThe FCO files document a rapid breakdown and reversion to imperial imbalance in the British-Australian administrative relationship that began with the election of the Whitlam government and ended with its dismissal. They reveal a deep suspicion of the new government that quickly led to secrecy, deception and to routine breaches of the highest levels of confidentiality by both the British prime minister’s office and the Palace throughout the terms of the Whitlam government.\nMost alarming is that the FCO files also reveal overt British involvement in Australian politics in the weeks before the dismissal – specifically with the half-Senate election due at that time and which Whitlam was to call on November 11, 1975, to end the blocking of supply in the Senate.\nKerr’s papers in the National Archives of Australia provided the first glimpse of the Palace’s role in the dismissal.\nAlthough there are some who continue to claim that the Palace was not involved, this has increasingly become more a matter of faith than fact. Revelations from Kerr’s papers, the Palace letters, and the FCO’s files have rendered that position untenable.\nWe now know that Charteris wrote to Kerr in October 1975 to discuss action the Palace would take if Whitlam became aware of Kerr’s plans to remove him from office and sought to recall him as governor-general. Charteris told Kerr that the Palace would, in that instance, “try to delay things”.\nThis communication between the Queen’s private secretary and the governor-general over the position of the governor-general himself is politically and constitutionally shocking. It reveals the Palace to be in deep intrigue with Kerr, to protect his tenure as governor-general, in the weeks before the dismissal – unknown to Whitlam.\nIt was also a breathtaking rupture of the vice-regal relationship. At the heart of this relationship in a constitutional monarchy is that the appointment of the governor-general is made by the Queen on the advice of the Australian prime minister alone. This has certainly been the case since 1930, when King George V accepted Labor prime minister James Scullin’s advice to appoint Sir Isaac Isaacs as governor-general.\nDespite being vehemently opposed to Isaacs’ appointment, the King told Scullin:\n… being a constitutional monarch I must, Mr Scullin, accept your advice.\nFor the Queen’s private secretary to intervene with Kerr himself on the question of the governor-general’s tenure was a staggering breach of that relationship.\nFrom this point on, knowing that Kerr was considering dismissing Whitlam and concerned that Whitlam might then recall him, and having agreed to a course of action in order to protect Kerr’s position should Whitlam do so, the Palace was already involved in the dismissal.\nThe fight over the Palace letters\nThe letters between Charteris and Kerr are part of the so-called “Palace letters”. This is the secret correspondence between the governor-general and the Queen, her private secretary, and Prince Charles, in the weeks before the dismissal.\nAlthough these letters are among Kerr’s papers and held by the National Archives in Canberra, they are closed to us. This is because the Palace letters are considered “personal” and not official “Commonwealth” records. This is despite Kerr’s own description of them as his “duty” as governor-general, and despite their obvious significance to our history.\nThe Palace letters are embargoed until 2027, “at her Majesty the Queen’s instructions”, with the Queen’s private secretary retaining an indefinite veto over their release even after this date. It is quite possible, then, that they will never be released.\nThe Palace letters are extraordinarily significant historical documents. They are contemporaneous real-time communications between the Queen and her representative in Australia, written at a time of great political drama, and are a vital part of our national historical record.\nAt the heart of this still-secret vice-regal correspondence was the prospect of the dismissal of the Whitlam government, which Kerr had already raised in September 1975 with Prince Charles and Charteris.\nThe designation of the Queen’s correspondence with her representative in Australia as “personal” means they do not come under Australia’s Archives Act, which relates only to official “Commonwealth records”.\nAnd so, in a rather neat catch-22, the decision by the National Archives to deny access to the correspondence cannot be appealed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.\nThere is only one way to challenge this decision: through a Federal Court action, which is a complex, expensive and onerous proposition. This is clearly an area in need of legislative reform to ensure a viable appeal process is in place for records described as “personal” in this way.\nIn an effort to secure the release of the Palace letters, I launched an action against the National Archives in the Federal Court last year, with a legal team working on a pro-bono basis and supported by a crowdfunding campaign. This concluded in September 2017; the decision is anticipated within months.\nAt the heart of the case is this central question of just what constitutes “personal” as opposed to “Commonwealth” records. Lead barrister Antony Whitlam (Gough Whitlam’s eldest son) argued to the court that “personal records” would be records covering matters “unrelated to the performance of Sir John’s official duties”, and that this could not extend to correspondence between the Queen and her representative in Australia prior to the dismissal. He said:\nIt cannot seriously be suggested that there was a personal relationship between the Queen and Sir John Kerr.\nIt is difficult to see, from common sense alone, that the correspondence between the Queen and her representative in Australia could in any way be seen as “personal”. The precise legal points on which the question of Palace letters’ status will turn – whether as personal or Commonwealth records – will be a different matter.\nThe case itself has brought to light a significant amount of new historical and contemporary material on the relationship between the Queen and the governor-general and its implications for Australian national sovereignty.\nOne thing that can be said is that from the moment this case came before the court, the question of the release of the Palace letters changed irrevocably. Their status and their release will now be determined by an Australian court, according to Australian law – and not as a quasi-imperial grant of release by the Queen.\nThis alone is an historic and important outcome that ends one of the few remaining “colonial relics” that continue to deny us access to historical documents relating to the Queen about a historical episode also relating to the Queen.\nThe continued embargo by the Queen of the Palace letters and the revelations from the British archives of the FCO all point to the lingering imperial power that comes from an incomplete severance of colonial ties. They show above all that the residues of colonialism, the “imperial aftermath” in Whitlam’s words, can never be fully extinguished until Australia becomes a fully independent republic.\nIt is surely absurd that in the 21st century we can still see the Australian prime minister giving an Australian knighthood to the Queen’s consort, Prince Philip, and that the governor-general, the Queen’s representative in Australia, can still dismiss an elected government on the basis of claimed “reserve powers” derived from, and in the name of, the Queen.\nAs an independent autonomous nation, Australia has a right to know its own history, including and in particular the records pointing to British involvement in that history, if we are to ensure such a profound rupture in our political structures and denial of our national sovereignty cannot happen again.\nThis troubling time in our history and in the Australian–British relationship is also critical to our decisions as we recommence the debate over the inevitable move toward a republic.\nThe fundamental issues to be confronted in that debate will relate absolutely to the events surrounding the dismissal of the Whitlam government: how to protect the institutions of democratic parliamentary governance, how to secure the formation of government in the House of Representatives, and what the powers of the new, Australian, head of state should be.\nJenny Hocking is Emeritus Professor at Monash University\nThis article was first republished in the Conversation.\nThis piece is republished with permission from Commonwealth Now, the 59th edition of Griffith Review.

Hema Kalai Rani\nVolume 1 No.1 January-June 2012 pp 26-31\nThe banana (Musa spp.) is considered as an important crop plant due to its high economic value as good dietary source. Banana is the rich source of carbohydrates and vitamins, particularly vitamins B; it is also a good source of potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. Here, we analyzed the genetic relationship of four different banana varieties that are cultivated in south India. Random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) fingerprinting of these banana varieties (Grand Naine, Nendran, Poovan and Red Banana) were carried out by five decamer primers (OP-5, OP-6, OP-7, OP-8,OP-11) led to DNA amplification. The distances in the dendrogram constructed by UPGMA (Unweighted pair group method Arithmetical Means) were compared with the genetic distances between genotypes pairs to calculate the cophenetic correlation. The genetic variation between Grand naine and Nendran was found to be 0.89 nucleotide. Similarly the Poovan is getting 0.94 nucleotide variation from the above one and Red is getting 0.97 nucleotide at the highest from all. The results presented here also contribute to narrowing the gaps in our current understanding of the migration path of bananas and the emergence of secondary centers of diversity.

{"text": "The surgical removal of the adenoids for reasons which include impaired breathing through the nose, chronic infections, or recurrent earaches. The surgery is less commonly performed in adults in whom adenoids are considered vestigial and purposeless. Post-operative pain is generally minimal and reduced by icy or cold foods. Combining tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy may be needed in some cases. The recovery time is generally from several hours to few days. With aging, the recovery time also increases.\nPatients of age less than 1 year do not undergo adenoidectomy as till this age, adenoid functions as immune system for the body.\nWhat Is an Adenoidectomy (Adenoid Removal)?\nAdenoid removal also called adenoidectomy, is a common surgery to remove the adenoids. The adenoids are glands located in the roof of the mouth, behind the soft palate where the nose connects to the throat.\nThe adenoids produce antibodies (white blood cells) that help fight infections. Typically, the adenoids shrink during adolescence and may disappear by adulthood.\nDoctors often perform adenoid removals and tonsillectomies (removal of the tonsils) together. Chronic throat and respiratory infections often cause inflammation and infection in both glands.\nWhy the Adenoids Are Removed\nFrequent throat infections can cause the adenoids to enlarge. Enlarged adenoids can obstruct breathing and block the Eustachian tubes, which connect your middle ear to the back of your nose. Clogged Eustachian tubes cause ear infections that can jeopardize your child’s hearing and respiratory health.\nSymptoms of Enlarged Adenoids\nSwollen adenoids block the airways and can cause the following symptoms:\n- frequent ear infections\n- sore throat\n- difficulty swallowing\n- difficulty breathing through the nose\n- habitual mouth breathing\n- obstructive sleep apnea, which involves periodic lapses in breathing during sleep\n- Repeated middle ear infections due to swollen adenoids and clogged Eustachian tubes have serious implications, such as hearing loss, which can also lead to speech problems.Your child’s doctor may recommend an adenoid removal if your child has chronic ear or throat infections that:\n- don’t respond to antibiotic treatments\n- occur more than 5 or 6 times per year\n- impede your child’s education due to frequent absence preparing for an Adenoidectomy\nThe mouth and throat bleed more readily than other areas of the body, so your doctor may request a blood test to find out whether your child’s blood clots correctly and if their white and red blood count is normal. Preoperative blood tests can help your child’s doctor ensure that there won’t be excessive bleeding during and after the procedure.\nIn the week before surgery, don’t give your child any medicine that can affect blood clottings, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. You may use acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain. If you’re in doubt about which medicines are appropriate, talk with your doctor.\nThe day before surgery, your child should have nothing to eat or drink after midnight. This includes water. If the doctor prescribes medicine to be taken before the surgery, give it to your child with a small sip of water.\nHow an Adenoidectomy Is Performed\nA surgeon will perform an adenoidectomy under general anesthesia (a drug-induced deep sleep). This is usually done in an outpatient setting, which means that your child can go home on the day of the surgery.\nThe adenoids are usually removed through the mouth. The surgeon will insert a small instrument into your child’s mouth to prop it open. They’ll then remove the adenoids by making a small incision or by cauterizing, which involves sealing the area with a heated device.\nCauterizing and packing the area with absorbent material, such as gauze, will control bleeding during and after the procedure. Stitches aren’t usually necessary.\nAfter the procedure, your child will stay in a recovery room until they wake up. You’ll receive medication to reduce pain and swelling. Patients will typically go home from the hospital on the same day as the surgery. Complete recovery from an adenoidectomy usually takes one to two weeks.\nAfter an Adenoidectomy\nA sore throat for two to three weeks after surgery is normal. It’s important to drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration. Good hydration actually helps to alleviate pain. Don’t feed your child spicy or hot foods or foods that are hard and crunchy for the first couple of weeks. Cold liquids and desserts are soothing for your child’s throat.\nWhile your child’s throat is sore, good diet and drink options include:\n- fruit juice\n- ice cream\n- apple sauce\n- warm chicken or beef broth\n- soft-cooked meats and vegetables\nAn ice collar can help with pain and reduce swelling. You can make an ice collar by placing ice cubes in a zip-lock bag and wrapping the bag in a towel. Place the collar on the front of your child’s neck.\nYour child should avoid strenuous activity for up to one week after surgery. Your child may return to school in three to five days if they feel up to it and have the surgeon’s approval.\nRisks of an Adenoidectomy\nAdenoid removal is usually a well-tolerated operation. Risks from any surgery include bleeding and infection at the surgery site. There are also risks associated with anesthesia, such as allergic reactions and breathing problems.\nBe sure to tell the doctor if your child is allergic to any medication.\nAdenoidectomies have a long history of excellent results. After surgery, most children:\nhave fewer and milder throat infections\nhave fewer ear infections\nbreathe easier through the nose.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Ken Kattner is a business attorney by day and an astrophotographer by night. Ken serves as a member of the board of directors and as treasurer for the International Dark Sky Association. From his Putman Mountain Observatory located in the Texas Hill Country, Ken has learned that preserving the beauty of our night skies is a significant natural resource important to each of us. That insight has led Ken to help a number of Hill Country cities design and implement lighting codes to promote more efficient, dark-sky-friendly outdoor lighting. Ken continues to work with cities, businesses, individuals, and advocacy organizations to preserve the dark skies in the Texas Hill Country.\nWhat is “seeing” and why do we care?\nIn 2010, I built a remote observatory in the Texas Hill Country. The main telescope is an RC Optical Systems 16-inch carbon truss. The observatory is robotic and can be controlled over the internet, which has expanded my opportunity to image whenever the skies allow. I used to hope for clear moonless nights and would watch the clear-sky clock and weather forecasts. Some nights, although clear and bright, were dismal and disappointing – the images were fuzzy and stars were bloated. Although this occurred infrequently, I wondered why.\nBefore installing my telescope, I studied many articles about focal length, image scale and how to optimize those for efficient imaging, but now I was seeing those interactions for myself. My focal length is about 3620 mm, and my pixel size is 9-microns, yielding an image scale of approximately 0.50-arc seconds per pixel. I gained experience that some nights, although clear with no Moon, were no good for imaging.\nI began consulting the clear-sky chart and jet-stream data for my location and discovered a correlation between the “seeing” predictions from those sources and what I was experiencing with my telescope. So, what is “seeing?”\nThink about a penny at the bottom of a swimming pool. The penny is difficult to see clearly, because the water is refracting the image – the penny is wavy, shifts and moves, with short moments of clarity. Now look up into the night sky. The same thing is happening. The atmosphere is a turbulent mass of air that refracts the light from stars and deep-sky objects. This turbulence is primarily caused by temperature differences in the Earth’s atmosphere that create variations in the optical refractive index of the atmosphere.\nThe atmosphere is composed of cells of different temperatures that refract light differently. Although stars are point sources of light, viewing a star through our atmosphere will make it appear to jump around and even twinkle as the light is refracted through these different temperature cells. So, “seeing” describes how well you can discern astronomical objects through the Earth’s atmosphere as it refracts the light from those objects on a given night and location.\nHow do you measure “seeing?”\nAlthough a star is a point source of light, the atmosphere will refract and blur the star making it appear like a disk with a real diameter. Your telescope does the same thing through refraction and yields the “Airy disk.” Measuring seeing means to ascertain the best possible angular diameter of that point source of light achieved by the specific telescope on a given night and location. Of course, when measuring angular diameters on the celestial sphere, we use measures of arc. Thus, when measuring the seeing, we use arc seconds to represent the angular size of the fuzzy blob of the star seen through the telescope. The best locations on Earth give a seeing disk diameter of 0.4 arc seconds. Average seeing conditions in North America can range from 1 arc second (or below) to 5 arc seconds\nHow does seeing affect viewing through telescopes of different focal lengths?\nThe ultimate resolution of a telescope is generally thought of as its diffraction-limited resolution and is inversely proportional to the diameter of the telescope. The more aperture you have, the greater the telescope’s theoretical resolution. If the telescope, however, has a resolution greater than the seeing in arc seconds, then some of that resolution is wasted. The seeing will limit the resolution. This is why large aperture telescopes don’t fare as well on nights of poor seeing – the larger aperture (and resolution) is wasted.\nThis was an important realization for me. If I could obtain an accurate measurement of the local seeing on a given night, I could make a more informed decision about whether to image that night. This was even more important to know if I intended to image remotely. I started to investigate what hardware/software systems were available to an amateur astronomer for measuring the seeing.\nThe Alcor Systems Cyclope Seeing Monitor\nAt the 2015 Advanced Imaging Conference (AIC) held in San Jose, California, I met Cyril Cavadore from Alcor Systems, which is based in France. Cyril, an engineer in Opto Electronics, obtained his PhD in CMOS image sensors and has been involved in astronomy instrumentation for more than 25 years. Alcor Systems’ products include all-sky cameras, direct drive mounts and seeing monitors, to name a few. As to software, they make the Prism astro-imaging/planetarium software package that can run all aspects of an observatory.\nAt AIC, Cyril was demonstrating Alcor Systems’ seeing monitor product, aptly named “Cyclope.” I was intrigued by the demonstration of the Cyclope system, because it is well built and employs a CMOS digital video camera system capable of very high frame rates, which improves accuracy in measuring the seeing and provides a real-time computation of the seeing.\nAlso, the system has weather monitoring and a heated front window for the camera. The Cyclope system can be ordered with either a USB or Ethernet interface. Each system is built to order, specifying the type of interface and length of cabling needed. Ultimately, I placed an order for an Ethernet version.\nTheory/Principle of Operation\nThe video-camera housing is mounted in an altitude axis that can be adjusted depending on your latitude. The camera must be polar-aligned with the camera fixed on Polaris (Image 1). Polaris is moving around a circle with a radius of 0.75 degrees from true north. The Cyclope camera has a field of view of 3.6 x 2.5 degrees, and therefore, Polaris will remain within the camera’s field of view during a full 24-hour rotation of the Earth. This means, no tracking is necessary for the Cyclope system to continually monitor a star to determine the seeing.\nAlso, Polaris is bright enough at 2nd-magnitude to allow its position to be measured at 50 to 60 frames per second (1/125-second exposures), even through a green filter (550 nm). Using Polaris for seeing measurements is effective from latitudes ranging from 90 degrees North down to 25 degrees North (Image 2).\nThe tip-tilt motion of Polaris is measured 50 to 60 times per second, and the Cyclope software computes the seeing at the altitude of Polaris and also computes a zenith seeing condition based on these measurements. Due to the high frequency of these measurements and the small pixel size of the video camera, Alcor Systems maintains that the Cyclope system is much more accurate than other seeing monitors, especially in conditions where the seeing is 1.5 arc seconds, or lower.\nThe benefits of the Cyclope system mentioned by Alcor Systems include (1) robust, all weather-use construction, which limits vibrations that can impair seeing measurements, (2) better measurement accuracy, because the camera utilizes more pixels with a smaller pixel size, (3) high frame rates that allow the system to accurately measure very low seeing (below 1.5 arc seconds), (4) Ethernet or USB interfaces, and (5) automatic heating of front camera window to prevent dew or frost.\nAlcor Systems has undertaken studies to compare the accuracy of the Cyclope system to a differential image motion monitor (DIMM). A DIMM system employs a dual-aperture mask over a telescope’s aperture. Images are recorded and the variance of the coordinates for the two images is used to compute the seeing using a turbulence model. Based on Alcor Systems’ study, the Cyclope System achieves seeing measurements nearly identical to a DIMM system. More information about the study can be found at this link: http://www.alcor-system.com/new/SeeingMon/Cyclope.html .\nInstallation Hardware and Software\nHardware and software installation was relatively easy and the manual had clear instructions for installing the software and polar aligning the camera.\nAn important requirement for the hardware installation is a mounting location that is very sturdy. If the Cyclope is mounted on a building or other location that is subject to movement from wind or vibration, then you will be measuring that movement instead of the seeing. I decided to make a metal pier and attach the pier to a concrete footing. I did this for several reasons. The metal pier provides a heavy and sturdy mount, the pier is adjustable in azimuth to aid in polar alignment, and the pier is relatively tall at 5.0 feet (152.4 cm) to get the Cyclope further away from ground level temperatures. Care was also taken in constructing the pier and footing to make sure the mounting bolts were aligned to true north to minimize the final azimuth and latitude adjustments after installation of the Cyclope on the pier (Image 3).\nThe Cyclope has three waterproof DIN connectors. The three connections provide power and serial line, an Ethernet connection and a final connection for a temperature and humidity sensor. The serial line provides data communication for the temperature and humidity sensors, as well as control for the heated front window. The Ethernet line connects the camera for control and image acquisition. The external temperature and humidity sensors are installed on a bracket that is mounted on the side of the camera.\nThe Cyclope system comes with a full suite of software, including video drivers, image capture software and the Cyclope control software. Using the software, I configured the camera with a fixed IP address and installed the Ethernet camera video drivers and the control software. Software installation was easy and painless. Once the software was connected to the camera, I waited for night fall to make the final polar alignment and initialization.\nThe Cyclope control software has a nice user interface to aid in fine tuning the polar alignment. Upon start-up, the control software starts the camera and shows a current video image with an adjustment overlay. The overlay is a circle with true north at the center. The circle around true north indicates the path of Polaris. The overlay also has a target reticle along the circumference of the circle and this is where Polaris should be centered (Image 4).\nWhen I started up the camera for the first time, I could see the image of Polaris near the target reticle, which required an adjustment of the azimuth and latitude of the Cyclope camera on the pier until Polaris was centered in the reticle. Once done, I tightened up all the bolts on the pier and mount. This only has to be done once. The Cyclope manual has detailed instructions on how to make this fine polar alignment.\nOnce polar alignment is complete, there are a few other software settings that should be made, including your longitude and latitude, the gain of the camera and exposure interval and ftp upload server and password. Also, the number of tip-tilt measurements to be obtained prior to computing a valid seeing measurement can be set. If the camera is running at 50 frames per second, setting the number of tip-tilt measurements to 3000 will yield a computed seeing value every minute.\nThe manual gives suggestions and advice for these settings. I found the manual to be informative and sufficient for both the hardware and software installation\nThe Cyclope housing weighs 9.5 kilograms (20.9 pounds) and is very solidly constructed using high-grade, colorless anodized aluminum components and stainless-steel socket-head cap screws. The system is watertight and has watertight connectors, and is designed to operate continuously outdoors.\nThe control software has numerous features to aid in polar alignment and camera set up. Once the camera is polar aligned, measurements begin automatically each night. The Cyclope software has a main screen where the video exposure and gain can be adjusted, along with a current video showing the target star measurements and histogram.\nThe Cyclope software automatically begins seeing measurements when the sun is below the horizon and when the stars are visible. The system allows the user to set the number of degrees the Sun must be below the horizon for seeing measurements to begin automatically. In addition, the user can set the maximum seeing threshold and\nmeasurements above which amount will be discarded.\nThe control software includes a status screen indicating the last measurement in arc seconds at the local Polaris position and the zenith, as well as a current video screen showing the live, rapid-fire measurements of the target star. Each zenith seeing measurement is stored in a data file that can be examined later and imported to a spreadsheet for further analysis (Image 5).\nIn addition, the status screen gives a computation of R0 or the Fried parameter, named after David L. Fried. The Fried parameter is a coherence length – or a diameter. For telescope apertures smaller than R0, the imaging resolution is determined primarily by the diffraction limit of the telescope. In other words, the seeing won’t interfere with the telescope achieving a resolution approaching its diffraction limit. Of course, with a telescope that has an aperture greater than the R0 parameter, atmospheric turbulence will prevent the telescope from achieving its diffraction limit.\nThe control software also includes a plot window that provides graphs showing the current night’s seeing over time, the prior night’s seeing over time, the last 3,000 tip-tilt measurements for the current seeing computation and star lux level. The star lux level is helpful to indicate clouds, if the lux level drops too low. Each of these graphs can be adjusted with respect to the time frame over which measurements are plotted. In addition, the ftp feature of the control software will upload these graphs to a web site for public display (Image 6).\nThe system has four temperature sensors and two humidity sensors to monitor internal and external temperature and humidity and to control heating of the camera window to prevent dew from forming. Control of camera window heating is user defined based on temperature and humidity thresholds that are relevant to the location of the camera. Once these thresholds are set, the system will monitor outside/inside temperature and humidity levels and control the camera window heating system automatically. The temperature and humidity readings are stored in a data file and the control software provides a graphing interface showing this information over time. Using the control software’s ftp upload feature, the temperature and humidity graphs can be uploaded to a web site for public display.\nOperation and Monitoring Results\nI have been running the Cyclope seeing monitor for about a year now and am quite pleased with its operation and the insight it provides about my local seeing conditions. Alcor Systems has been helpful in answering any questions I’ve had about set up and configuring the camera options.\nMy Cyclope seeing measurements closely correlate with predictions from my clear-sky chart and from plate solves with my telescope and camera, however, there are some nights when the Cyclope system indicates the seeing is appreciably better than what the clear-sky chart predicts. This is good news, so I don’t miss out on an imaging opportunity.\nAt my location, the seeing fluctuates depending on the season. For example, during the spring, the seeing is variable, but in the summer, it improves becoming very stable. This is due to high pressure systems sitting over Texas pushing the jet stream north. Seeing during the summer is excellent and sometimes drops below 1.0 are second. The average seeing during the summer is between 1.2 and 2.5 arc seconds.\nWith the Cyclope system, it is also interesting to watch the seeing change during the night. Some nights, the seeing will vary periodically in an up-and-down cycle, indicating waves of turbulent air that come and go every two or three hours. This insight is useful when examining individual sub frames later – it helps me understand whether there was an equipment or focus problem or simply deterioration in the seeing. I also like having last night’s seeing graph to compare to the current night.\nNow that I can “see” the seeing, I watch it carefully, and it’s the first thing I do when preparing for a night of imaging. I always have great expectations when night falls to get those first few seeing measurements.

{"text": "A quick heads up for those interested in using R for spatial analysis and mapping data. There are two relatively new libraries you might want to check out:\n- The first one is the ggspatial library, created by Dewey Dunnington. ggspatial is a great package that makes it super simple to create maps using ggplot. It uses a single geom_spatial() for all types of spatial objects (polygons, lines, dots, etc.) and it dispenses the use fortify(), making things much faster.\n- Another library some of you might find useful is sf (as in simple features), created by Edzer Pebesma. This library makes it much faster to conduct several spatial operations, like reading/writing data, intersecting spatial objects, computing shortest distance matrices etc. The sf library is integrated with ggplot2 for creating maps with geom_sf() and it also makes it easy to connect to spatial data bases. This promises to be a real game changer for spatial analysis in R.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Electrical Safety Tips and Best Practices\nBy Easybook Training27 July 2020\nDavid Perecman, Founder and Lead Trial Attorney at The Perecman Firm, P.L.L.C., provides guidance on how to prevent on-the-job electrocutions.\nWith private companies working in construction, manufacturing and natural resources and mining industries accounting for nearly three-quarters of fatal electrical injuries, it is vital for workers in these sectors to be aware of the risks of electrical hazards and take steps to mitigate on-the-job, electrical injuries.\nA key element of preserving a safe working environment is risk awareness and prevention. The most common forms of electrical injuries include electrical shock and electrical burns. Electrocution is always used to describe a fatal electrical injury.\nSafety First At All Times\nAlthough electrical safety is important for workers in many industries, it is particularly relevant for workers in the construction and electrical industries. Electrocution is one of the most common workplace injuries and is deemed one of the Occupational Health & Safety Administration’s (OSHA) ”Fatal Four” leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. Both employers and workers must take precautions to protect themselves and others around them at all times.\nEmployers should take steps to prevent on-the-job electrocutions that can lead to serious injuries, including:\n- Ensure that workers are knowledgeable of emergency protocols and procedures should an on-the-job electrical injury or accident occur.\n- Employers should provide appropriate personal protective gear (PPE) to workers and issue frequent warnings of electric power circuits, line and hazards.\n- Employers and site managers should ensure that federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to worker safety are followed at all times on job sites.\n- Employers should ensure that electricians and trade professionals are fully qualified for the task at hand.\n- Guard open switches and circuit-interrupting devices.\n- Enforce OSHA standards for proper lockout/tagout procedures on job sites.\n- Walk sites to identify potential electrical hazards and determine voltage levels.\nBest practices for employees and all personnel on worksites include:\n- Always use the proper tools, fuses, cords and other equipment that is appropriate for the circumstances (i.e. rated for the level of amperage or wattage).\n- Regularly inspect all testing devices. Always test the circuit before workers physically touch it. Each year, many workers suffer injuries from circuits they believed were safety turned off.\n- Always look up to identify potential electrical hazards overhead, such as powerlines. Prior to digging or excavation, know what’s below. Workers can call 811 or use their state’s 811 center’s website a few business days before digging to confirm no utility lines below pose danger.\n- Workers should never attempt to perform any electrical job that they are unqualified or unfamiliar with. Always have electrical work completed by qualified, experienced technicians.\nLegal Remedies and Steps to Take After An Electrical Injury\nWhile the severity of electrical accidents ranges from mild to fatal, these injuries have the potential to hinder a worker’s ability to perform their job, secure their livelihood and live their life in the same manner they would prior to the accident. With education on how to identify electrical hazards in conjunction with proper safety standards, most electrical injuries can be avoided.\nIf an electrical accident occurs, it is crucial to contact emergency services and seek medical intervention for injuries immediately. Once the injured worker’s health condition is stable, an accident report should be filed. With most on-the-job injury cases, employees cannot sue their employer for damages they sustained during work duties. However, employees can seek to recover losses, including total and partial disability, medical costs, and lost wages, through a workers’ compensation claim. If a worker suffers a electrical-related injury due to the negligence of a third party outside of their employer, they may be able to secure remedies for damages sustained through a personal injury lawsuit. These lawsuits can provide financial compensation for losses suffered by victims due to negligence.\nElectrical injuries can have deadly effects that can cause serious physical harm to victims. In an ideal world, electrical accidents would not occur. Unfortunately, these incidents are all too common, so it’s important for employers and workers to be aware of potential electrical risks and take steps to prevent accidents in the workplace. Workers who have suffered on-the-job electrical injuries can secure legal remedies for damages through a workers’ compensation claim or personal injury lawsuit if the injury was caused by a third party’s negligence.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Modern evidence has defined dinosaur mysteries.(Bakker 2001) Dinosaurs dominated vertebrate life on land for 160 million years. They did not thrive in water. They evolved from reptiles, but the biggest dinosaurs were larger than any terrestrial reptile or mammal. Dinosaurs experienced a series of partial extinctions, followed by resurgences of new and different species before they disappeared altogether. Like mammals, dinosaurs had enhanced exercise tolerance and could chase their prey, whereas reptiles have limited exercise tolerance that usually necessitates a “lie in wait” predation strategy. Like warm-blooded birds and mammals, dinosaurs grew and matured quickly and exhibited rapid evolutionary adaptation. In contrast, cold-blooded reptiles seldom produce new species, and they grow and mature slowly unless they are maintained with abundant food and warm temperatures. Some dinosaurs were bipedal (they walked on two legs), whereas reptiles are exclusively quadrupeds. Pterosaurs were dinosaurs that flew in the manner of mammalian bats (neither had feathers) but reptiles have never achieved flight. These dinosaur mysteries have inspired speculation about mass homeothermy (body heat retention due to large size), giant meteors colliding with the earth, “death stars” at million-year intervals, catastrophic volcanic activity, reduced earth gravity, and whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded, but none of these explanations are convincing.\nMammals and reptiles differ from each other almost as much as both differ from dinosaurs, and yet all three are closely related vertebrate cousins. Euthermic (warm-blooded) mammals maintain their body temperature around 100 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of environmental temperatures. This entails increased food requirements, but it somehow confers superior exercise tolerance that enhances their ability to obtain food and thrive in cold climates where reptiles cannot survive. Reptiles are poikilothermic (“cold-blooded”) animals whose bodies assume the temperature of the environment. Because they do not waste food energy maintaining their body temperature, they can survive for extended periods of time with far less food than mammals. They function best at mammalian body temperatures, but their exercise tolerance is inferior to mammals even when they are warm. They become extremely sluggish when cold. The author once witnessed this dramatic cold sensitivity on a raft trip in the Grand Canyon when guides employed cold river water to immobilize a rattlesnake that lurked near the latrine. The snake could then be safely picked up and flung into the bushes.\nI hypothesize that the differences between reptiles, mammals and dinosaurs are caused by their adaptations to different climates. The focus of these adaptations is temperature-dependent lipoprotein solidification that affects blood turbulence. The pivotal role of blood turbulence in vertebrate hemodynamic physiology remains largely unappreciated. Blood turbulence inhibits atherosclerosis, increases blood flow resistance, and generates lateral forces that account for the palpable pulse and blood pressure measurement. At cool temperatures, lipoproteins exist as solid particles that exaggerate turbulence, accelerate atherosclerosis, and increase blood flow resistance, but at or above mammalian body temperatures (around 100 degrees Fahrenheit) they liquefy and these effects are neutralized.(Dintenfass 1965) Reptilian red blood cells exaggerate blood turbulence to inhibit atherosclerosis caused by solidified lipoproteins at low temperatures. Mammalian red blood cells inhibit blood turbulence to reduce flow resistance, and thereby optimize cardiac efficiency and exercise tolerance. Vertebrate adaptations to climate thus involve alterations in both body metabolism and red cell morphology. The adaptations involve “trade-offs” between exercise tolerance, food requirements, and cold sensitivity.\nTemperature-dependent lipoprotein solidification can be observed in venous blood drawn from humans after a meal. As the blood samples cool, lipoproteins solidify and float to the top of the test tube, where they form a white layer. The author has observed that portal veins turn pearly white due to lipoprotein solidification when exposed intestines are cooled during surgery, but systemic vessels remain unaffected. The portal veins conduct blood from the intestines to the liver, so that blood flowing from the intestines must pass through the liver before entering the systemic circulation. This prevents harmful solidified lipoproteins as well as toxins from entering systemic circulation.\nHemodynamic Physiology and Blood Turbulence\nHemodynamic physiology in vertebrates remains stubbornly mysterious. For example, water is incompressible, so that the palpable arterial pulse should appear simultaneously and with equal force throughout the arterial tree with each heartbeat. Instead, the pulse inexplicably appears as a wave that travels proximal to distal, and its speed increases as arterial diameter decreases. Blood pressure and flow are classically attributed to variations of cardiac contractility and arteriolar vasoconstriction. However, vascular smooth muscle contraction is energy-intensive, short-lived, and followed by obligatory relaxation, so that it cannot explain prolonged elevations of blood pressure such as occur in essential hypertension. Meanwhile, the heart muscle generates a consistent force with each contraction. Its ability to increase this force is limited, and it cannot endure prolonged increases in vascular resistance and workload, which cause congestive heart failure. This consistency of cardiac contraction is reflected by the striking similarity of blood pressure measurements among most mammalian species (with exceptions such as the giraffe) regardless of temperature and activity. In contrast, reptilian blood pressure varies substantially among species and is affected by both temperature and activity. Vasoconstriction and cardiac contractility thus provide a tenuous explanation of organ regulation, essential hypertension, blood pressure, and blood flow regulation. Also, there is no satisfactory explanation of bruits and Korotkoff sounds. These and other puzzling observations are readily explained by blood turbulence.\nWater, oil, and most other fluids are called “Newtonian” because they exhibit exponential increases in turbulence when they are accelerated in pipes. The turbulence causes exponential increases in flow resistance and generates lateral forces that press on the inner walls of the pipe. Belgian mechanical engineers recently photographed Newtonian pipe flow turbulence and showed that it consists of small “jet streams” that flow forward along the inner walls of the pipe and force slower-moving fluid elements to the center of the pipe, where they flow backward. This explains how turbulence inhibits forward flow in pipes, and also how it mobilizes particulates that would otherwise deposit on the walls of the pipe.(Chris Woodyard 2006; Hof et al. 2004) In contrast, mammalian blood is “non-Newtonian” because it exhibits exponential declines in turbulence and flow resistance when it is accelerated in arteries.\nVertebrate pulsatile arterial blood flow accelerates forward during systole, when the heart contracts. During diastole, when the heart relaxes, arterial flow decelerates and briefly halts. Pulsatile flow thus induces periodic bursts of arterial turbulence. Vertebrate arterial turbulence is similar to water pipe turbulence, except that blood contains red blood cells that alter turbulence in accord with their shape and size. Rotund, nucleated reptilian red cells exaggerate systolic blood turbulence to inhibit atherosclerosis. Biconcave, enucleated mammalian red cells inhibit systolic blood turbulence to enhance cardiac efficiency and exercise tolerance. This explains the presence of red blood cells in vertebrates, because hemoglobin encapsulation does not enhance oxygen delivery, and red cell mass is far greater than necessary to oxygenate tissues.\nBlood turbulence inhibits atherosclerosis. Blood contains numerous particulates in addition to lipoproteins and red cells. Like sludge formation in oil pipes, blood particulates form deposits on the inner walls of arteries if blood turbulence is inadequate.(Chris Woodyard 2006) Such deposits induce an inflammatory reaction that results in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Athletic activity exaggerates blood turbulence that inhibits and can even reverse atherosclerosis. Anemia likewise increases blood turbulence and inhibits atherosclerosis. Polycythemia and sedentary life style reduce blood turbulence and accelerate atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a natural consequence of aging and inactivity, as cardiac vigor and blood turbulence decline. Insoluble Fibrin is generated in flowing blood by the SRM in accord with stressful forces and stressful stimuli that affect autonomic balance, and this reduces turbulent mixing in blood and thereby accelerates atherosclerosis. This explains why atherosclerosis is accelerated by disease, surgery, and emotional stress. (Coleman 2006; Coleman 2010)\nPulsatile arterial turbulence also inhibits coagulation, which explains why clot formation is rare in uninjured arteries, while thrombophlebitis is common in veins, where flow is sluggish and turbulence is minimal. Insoluble fibrin generated by the Stress Repair Mechanism (SRM) induces clot formation by reducing blood turbulence below a threshold, and then binding red blood cells into a viscoelastic clot.(Coleman 2005; Coleman 2010)\nMammals are “Euthermic” (warm-blooded). They have adapted to cold climates by adjusting their metabolism to maintain their body temperature continuously above the threshold of lipoprotein liquefaction, and by ejecting the nucleus of their red blood cells to create biconcave red cells that enhance cardiac efficiency and exercise tolerance. Maintaining elevated body temperatures substantially increases food requirements, but it prevents lipoprotein solidification and enables mammals to remain active at cold temperatures, and the enhanced exercise capacity enables them to satisfy their increased food requirements. Superior mammalian intelligence further enhances their ability to obtain food. Humans are born with immature “fetal” red blood cells that are spherical and nucleated. These are gradually replaced by mature biconcave, enucleated red blood cells during the first year of life. The fetal red cells exaggerate systolic blood turbulence to inhibit atherosclerosis during embryological development, when blood turbulence is otherwise inadequate in the quiescent developing fetus. The increased turbulent flow resistance caused by fetal red blood cells explains the limited exercise tolerance and increased risk of general anesthesia during the first year of human life.\n“Newtonian” fluids such as water and oil produce exponential increases in viscosity (flow resistance) as they are accelerated in pipes. In contrast, mammalian blood is a “non-Newtonian” fluid that exhibits exponential declines in viscosity when it is accelerated in arteries. The nucleus of maturing mammal red blood cells is ejected and engulfed by immune cells, causing the rotund cell to partially collapse to create its distinctive biconcave shape. During systole, when the heart contracts and ejects blood, these biconcave red cells spontaneously form “aggregate patterns” that inhibit blood turbulence and flow resistance so that the mammalian heart expels its contents much more efficiently. The mammalian heart is thus able to accelerate arterial blood flow from 0 to 125 cm/sec in a tenth of a second with minimal effort. This enhanced cardiac efficiency confers a substantial increase in exercise capacity.\nDuring diastole, when the mammalian heart has emptied its contents and blood flow decelerates, the aggregate formations disintegrate, causing the kinetic energy of moving blood to convert to a burst of turbulence. This manifests as a traveling pulse wave that propagates throughout the arterial tree with each cardiac cycle, halting blood flow as it travels. The turbulence generates lateral forces that press on the inner walls of arteries. These lateral forces make the pulse wave palpable and blood pressure measureable. Arterial strictures and blood pressure cuff inflation accelerate blood flow and elevate turbulent frequencies to audible levels, which explains bruits and blood pressure measurement.\nBlood turbulence clarifies mammalian hemodynamic physiology. Red blood cells are nearly identical among mammalian species because their size and shape minimizes turbulence and flow resistance. Mammalian blood pressure varies little between individuals and among species because cardiac power, force and work vary little from beat to beat, and because mammalian physiology controls temperature within a narrow range, so that turbulent forces remain consistent with each heartbeat and similar among species. This produces the misleading impression that blood pressure, cardiac contractility and tissue perfusion are directly related. However, turbulent relationships are exponential in nature, and blood pressure is not linearly related to cardiac output or tissue perfusion as often presumed. For example, cardiac output remains intact in resting trained athletes. This is because aerobic conditioning stimulates capillary formation in muscles affected by exercise, and this reduces flow resistance, which increases stroke volume, so that heart rate and blood pressure are reduced at rest. This reflects enhanced cardiac efficiency in the athlete. The heart itself is little affected by exercise, and does not become “stronger” or larger. The weak cardiac force that propels blood cannot readily perfuse distant or elevated tissues, which explain why the head is usually located close to the heart. Exceptions such as the giraffe require exaggerated heart mass. In contrast to mammals, reptilian blood turbulence, and therefore blood pressure, is affected by temperature, activity and other factors, so that it varies substantially in individuals as well as among species.\nReptiles are “cold-blooded” (poikilothermic). They are adapted to warm climates. They do not waste food energy to maintain their body temperature above the level of lipoprotein liquefaction. Their food requirements are therefore modest compared to mammals. Their body temperature fluctuates in accord with environmental temperatures, so that lipoproteins in their blood solidify at cool temperatures. Lipoprotein solidification inhibits blood flow and accelerates atherosclerosis. However, unlike mammalian red blood cells, reptilian red blood cells retain their nucleus, which causes their shape to remain rotund. This rotund shape exaggerates systolic blood turbulence, which offsets the acceleration of atherosclerosis caused by lipoprotein solidification. The exaggerated systolic blood turbulence simultaneously inhibits cardiac function by increasing flow resistance. The combined effect of rotund red cells and solidified lipoproteins severely reduces cardiac efficiency and exercise tolerance at cool temperatures. This explains why reptiles become extremely sluggish at low temperatures. Reptiles typically bask in the morning sun to raise their body temperatures to mammalian levels, which is where they function best. However, even when their blood temperature is elevated above the level of lipoprotein liquefaction, their exercise tolerance remains inferior to that of mammals on account of the exaggerated turbulent systolic flow resistance caused by their rotund, nucleated red cells. Because of this, most reptiles employ a “lie in wait” style of predation that requires minimal exercise capacity. Vegetarian reptiles are rare, presumably because their limited exercise tolerance restricts their ability to obtain adequate quantities of low-energy plant food sources.\nDinosaurs were adapted to continuously hot temperatures. They thrived during the unique era when all the continents of the earth were fused together into a single land mass called “Pangaea”. This caused interior land temperatures to become continuously elevated above the level of lipoprotein liquefaction. I hypothesize that under these conditions, certain reptile species transmogrified into dinosaurs by ejecting the nucleus of their reptilian red blood cells to create biconcave red blood cells similar to those of mammals. In the presence of continuously hot temperatures, this single change in red cell structure would explain how dinosaurs added the superior hemodynamic efficiency (exercise tolerance) of mammals to the superior metabolic efficiency (modest food requirements) of reptiles to enable them to become energetic monsters that dominated terrestrial life for millions of years. The combination of metabolic and hemodynamic efficiency explains how plant-eating dinosaurs attained gigantic size despite small heads that limited their food intake. Their enhanced exercise tolerance facilitated their ability to obtain fresh plant food sources, but their additional food energy was not wasted to maintain body temperature, so that their conserved caloric intake exaggerated body size. Enhanced dinosaur exercise capacity enabled dinosaur predators to run on two legs to chase after their prey and increase their caloric intake, while their metabolic efficiency exaggerated their size and strength, so that they become the most formidable predators ever known. The enhanced exercise capacity likewise enabled Pterosaurs to fly in the manner of mammalian bats (both lacked feathers). The combination of hemodynamic and metabolic efficiency also enabled rapid growth, maturation and evolutionary diversification similar to warm-blooded mammals and birds.\nDinosaurs were not mammals, because they lacked the ability to maintain their body temperature above the level of lipoprotein liquefaction. Their adaptation to sustained high temperatures rendered them exquisitely vulnerable to cool temperatures. Because of this, they did not thrive in water, where temperatures are usually below the threshold of lipoprotein liquefaction. The fossil record reflects a series of catastrophic dinosaur extinctions followed by resurgences in which new and different dinosaur species appeared, and this is best explained by temporary declines in ambient land temperature below the level of fat liquefaction. When Pangaea disintegrated into separate continents, causing land temperatures to permanently fall below the threshold of lipoprotein liquefaction, the dinosaur life form became extinct. The final chapter in the dinosaur saga likely resembled Armageddon, as doomed dinosaurs clustered together in a desperate search for warmth. The contorted postures of their fossilized bodies may reflect their final agony as lipoprotein solidification disrupted their hemodynamic function.\nThis hypothesis is limited to reptiles, mammals and dinosaurs. It cannot explain the hemodynamic efficiency of birds, because the distinctive oval red blood cells of birds are nucleated. However, birds are euthermic, which suggests that lipoprotein liquefaction plays an important role in their physiology. Perhaps the distinctive oval shape of bird red cells confers the ability to control blood turbulence and enhance hemodynamic efficiency in a manner different from that of mammalian red cells.\nThe evolution of dinosaurs is often associated with cosmic climatic cataclysms, but the evidence suggests that the earth’s climate is remarkably temperate. It never becomes so extreme as to render either reptiles or mammals extinct. Instead, mild cyclical temperature fluctuations temporarily favor one versus the other. Dinosaurs represent a vertebrate adaptation to a period of unusually elevated land temperatures. The dinosaur evidence provides insights to vertebrate physiology, embryology and evolution. The ability to eject the nucleus of red blood cells may be retained by reptiles as well as mammals, and it may represent one of many potential adaptations hidden in the vertebrate genome. It illustrates how simple physiological adaptations to moderate environmental changes can produce diverse new life forms that disappear as suddenly as they appeared. (Kirschner and Gerhart 2005)\nThis hypothesis of dinosaur origin and physiology resulted from the extensive review of published medical research literature that identified the “Stress Repair Mechanism” (SRM) that maintains and repairs the vertebrate body and governs hemodynamic physiology.(Coleman 2010) Confirmation of the dinosaur hypothesis initially appeared impossible, because the shape of dinosaur red blood cells was unknown. However, Dr. Mary Schweitzer recently discovered intact dinosaur bone marrow tissue,(Fields 2006; Schweitzer et al. 2005; Schweitzer et al. 1997). Electron microscopy studies have subsequently produced evidence that dinosaurs had biconcave red blood cells.(Liangtai 2009) This evidence remains controversial. However, the ability of reptiles to transmogrify into dinosaurs could be tested by maintaining a selected group of reptiles with temperatures continuously above the threshold of lipoprotein liquefaction and abundant food. Under these conditions, dinosaurs might eventually appear spontaneously.\nThe secret of vertebrate hemodynamic physiology is efficiency rather than power and work. The modest force generated by cardiac muscle is consistent within a narrow range, and flow resistance readily inhibits the ability of the heart to expel its contents. Both turbulent flow resistance and capillary flow resistance are simultaneously regulated in accord with autonomic balance by the capillary gate component of the Stress Repair Mechanism (SRM).(Coleman 2010) The combined effects of turbulent flow resistance and capillary gate closure reduces cardiac output, cardiac efficiency, and exercise tolerance.(Ades et al. 1996) Capillary gate component regulation provides an improved explanation of the regulation of blood flow and organ function, because capillary blood flows, pressures and turbulence are minimal, and the combined surface area of capillaries is vastly greater than that of larger vessel, so that flow regulation by fibrinogenesis and fibrinolysis in capillaries is more efficient and effective than vasoconstriction of arterioles. Capillary gate operation also explains numerous experimental observations, such as the increase in fibrin split products after treatment with “vasoactive” pharmaceuticals.(Holemans 1965)", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Carbon dioxide is the gas most discussed in relation to manmade climate change. But there are other gases responsible for the greenhouse effect that climate scientists blame for global warming.\nScientists say the presence of one of those gases, methane, can be expected to rise rapidly, should the planet continue to warm. That's bad news, since methane -- already the third most abundant greenhouse gas -- has roughly 30 times the heat-trapping potency of CO2.\nScientists have known for some time that methane is a byproduct of biological activity in the world's freshwater ecosystems. Microorganisms in freshwater lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams produce methane as they digest organic materials.\nBut exactly how much methane these ecosystems were emitting -- or would emit -- remained a mystery.\nTo get a better idea, Cristian Gudasz, a visiting postdoctoral research associate at Princeton, and a number of other researchers analyzed nearly 1,600 temperature and methane emissions measurements from 127 freshwater ecosystems all over the world.

A river lands on the list based on what the group considers to be major, upcoming policy or permitting decisions, the significance of the threat and the degree to which the action would exacerbate or alleviate the stresses of climate change.\nThe usual culprits that push up a river's ranking include proposed dams, water diversions or management plans.\nWhat's remarkable this year -- the ranking's 25th anniversary -- is the prominence of hydraulic fracturing, which landed two rivers in the top 10 list.

The decades-old practice involves blasting millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to free trapped natural gas. Environmentalists fear what's not known: exact ingredients of the injected mix of chemicals.\nAlthough there have been documented spills and other incidents, pollution problems stemming from fracturing have yet to rise to catastrophe-level and, as such, efforts in Washington to clamp down on the practice have waxed and waned.\nA U.S. EPA investigation is under way, but last week Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), a persistent critic of the practice, introduced and then withdrew an amendment to water legislation that would have required full disclosure of fracturing chemicals (Greenwire, May 26).\nGas companies are nervous.

In our imagination, this silence is broken at most by the doleful song of a lonesome whale or by sounds from outside, muffled by the water. A few may have heard that fish also make use of acoustic signals. However the fact that even algae contribute to the marine soundscape is new even to experts: in 2018, Lauren and Simon Freeman, two oceanographers working with the US Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island, first noticed the phenomenon in the waters of Hawaii. They recorded a faint hiss that had long been dismissed as caused by snapping shrimp. However, they observed that the amount of sound correlated with the quantity of macroalgae covering the coral reefs. In order to verify whether the sound was caused by the algae, they set up a tank with controlled conditions and their presumption was confirmed. The sound is caused by the algae performing photosynthesis — as a byproduct, they release oxygen. When an oxygen bubble detaches from he surface of the plant, it creates a short ʻpingʼ sound. The combined pings of many algae merge to form an important part the background noise of their environment. The two oceanographers hope that this finding can open up new opportunities to evaluate and monitor ecosystems through acoustic recordings in the future.\nSources: Freeman, Simon E. et al., “Photosynthesis by marine algae produces sound, contributing to the daytime soundscape on coral reefs”, PLoS ONE, vol.13, issue. 10, 2018.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Flower Stem Bee Nests – November, 2013\nBefore cutting back and composting the end-of-season flower stalks in your garden this month, you might consider salvaging some of that material for easy-to-make bee nests. For example, most leafcutter bees, mason bees, yellow-faced bees, and more will happily nest in the dry, hollow stems of many common garden plants. The process is simple:\n- Using shears, or a fine-toothed saw, clip hollow stems into 6- to 8-inch lengths.\n- Use stems with natural nodes on one end (to create a dead end that you can’t see through).\n- Use a variety of stem diameters, from 1/8 inch for small solitary wasps and yellow-faced bees, to ½ inch for big carpenter bees.\n- Bundle the tubes together with string or wire and hang them horizontally in a sheltered location.\nDepending on where you live, lots of common native plants have perfect stems for this project, such as cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) and eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides) in the east, to gumweed (Grindelia spp.) and various sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) in the west. You can even use the dead stems of invasive weeds for the same purpose — Phragmites reed, bamboo, and teasel all work well.\nHang your nests now, and when spring arrives, pollinators will find one more reason to stick around.\nTo read previous months’ tips, please click here.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Creating textures for 3D models is an essential part of the 3D modeling process. Texturing gives the 3D models a realistic look and feel, and it is what makes them stand out from the rest. Without textures, 3D models would appear flat and lifeless, and they would not be as engaging or captivating.\nThe process of creating textures for 3D models may seem daunting at first, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. There are various software programs available for creating textures, and each has its own unique features and capabilities. Some popular software programs for texturing include Blender, Substance Painter, and Photoshop. These programs offer a wide range of tools and features for creating textures, including brushes, layers, and filters, among others.\nTo create textures for 3D models, it is essential to have a good understanding of how to use these tools and techniques effectively. This article will provide a guide on how to create textures for 3D models, covering the basics and tips for getting started. Whether you are a seasoned 3D artist or just starting, this guide will help you create stunning textures that will make your 3D models come to life.\nWhat are Textures?\nTextures are an essential part of 3D modeling. They are the surface characteristics of a 3D model and are responsible for making it look realistic. Textures are applied to the model’s surface, wrapping around it to give it a unique appearance.\nTextures can be anything from a simple color to a complex pattern or design. They can be created using various software and tools. The process of creating textures is called texturing.\nTypes of Textures\nThere are several types of textures used in 3D modeling. Each type of texture serves a different purpose and is used to achieve a specific effect. Here are some of the most common types of textures:\nColor Map: A color map is a simple texture that defines the color of the model’s surface. It is the most basic type of texture and is used to give the model a solid color.\nBump Map: A bump map is used to create the illusion of depth and texture on a model’s surface. It is a grayscale image that defines the height of the model’s surface.\nNormal Map: A normal map is similar to a bump map, but it uses RGB values to define the surface normal of the model. It is used to create more complex surface details.\nSpecular Map: A specular map is used to define the reflective properties of the model’s surface. It determines how light reflects off the surface.\nDisplacement Map: A displacement map is used to create more complex surface details on a model. It is a grayscale image that defines the height and depth of the surface.\nTextures can also be combined to create more complex effects. For example, a color map and a bump map can be combined to create a model with a textured surface.\nIn conclusion, textures are an essential part of 3D modeling. They are used to create realistic surfaces and give models a unique appearance. By understanding the different types of textures, you can create more complex and detailed models.\nWhen it comes to creating textures for 3D models, there are several techniques and tools to choose from. In this section, we will discuss some of the most common methods for creating textures, including choosing a software, texture mapping techniques, and texture painting techniques.\nChoosing a Software\nThe first step in creating textures is choosing the right software for the job. There are several options available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some popular choices include:\n- Photoshop: A popular choice for creating textures due to its robust set of tools and features.\n- Substance Painter: A powerful 3D painting software that allows you to create high-quality textures quickly and easily.\n- Blender: A free and open-source 3D modeling software that also includes texture painting tools.\nWhen choosing a software, consider your skill level, budget, and the specific needs of your project.\nTexture Mapping Techniques\nTexture mapping is the process of applying a 2D image to a 3D model’s surface. There are several techniques for texture mapping, including:\n- UV Mapping: A technique that involves creating a 2D map of the model’s surface and then applying the texture to that map.\n- Box Mapping: A technique that involves projecting the texture onto the model’s surface from six different angles.\n- Planar Mapping: A technique that involves projecting the texture onto the model’s surface from a single direction.\nEach technique has its own strengths and weaknesses, so it’s important to choose the right one for your specific project.\nTexture Painting Techniques\nTexture painting is the process of adding details and color to a 3D model’s surface. There are several techniques for texture painting, including:\n- Brush Painting: A technique that involves using digital brushes to paint directly onto the model’s surface.\n- Stencil Painting: A technique that involves using stencils to apply textures and patterns to the model’s surface.\n- Procedural Painting: A technique that involves using algorithms to generate textures automatically.\nEach technique has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to experiment with different techniques to find the one that works best for your project.\nIn conclusion, creating textures for 3D models requires careful consideration of software, texture mapping techniques, and texture painting techniques. By choosing the right tools and techniques for your specific project, you can create high-quality textures that bring your 3D models to life.\nWhen creating textures for 3D models, it’s important to optimize them to balance quality and performance. Texture optimization involves choosing the appropriate file formats, texture resolutions, and compression techniques to meet the requirements and limitations of your project.\nChoosing the right file format for your textures can have a significant impact on their quality and performance. Here are some common file formats used for 3D textures:\n- JPEG: A compressed image format that is commonly used for photographs and textures with lots of detail. However, it can result in loss of quality and artifacts.\n- PNG: A lossless image format that supports transparency and is commonly used for textures with simple shapes and transparency.\n- TIFF: A high-quality image format that supports layers and is commonly used for textures that require a high level of detail.\n- DDS: A compressed image format that is commonly used for real-time applications. It supports mipmaps, which are precomputed lower-resolution versions of the texture that are used to improve performance.\nThe texture resolution refers to the number of pixels in the texture image. Higher resolution textures can provide more detail, but they also require more memory and can impact performance. Here are some tips for choosing the right texture resolution:\n- Consider the size of the object: Textures for small objects can have lower resolution than textures for large objects.\n- Consider the distance from the camera: Textures for objects that are far away from the camera can have lower resolution than textures for objects that are close to the camera.\n- Test different resolutions: Try different resolutions to find the sweet spot between quality and performance.\nCompression techniques can be used to reduce the size of texture files without significantly impacting the quality. Here are some common compression techniques:\n- DXT Compression: A lossy compression technique that is commonly used for real-time applications. It can reduce the size of texture files by up to 75%.\n- ETC Compression: A lossy compression technique that is commonly used for mobile devices. It can reduce the size of texture files by up to 50%.\n- PVRTC Compression: A lossy compression technique that is commonly used for iOS devices. It can reduce the size of texture files by up to 80%.\nBy optimizing your textures using the right file formats, texture resolutions, and compression techniques, you can improve the quality and performance of your 3D models.\nCreating textures for 3D models can seem daunting at first, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be a rewarding and enjoyable process. In this article, we’ve covered some basics of 3D texturing, including the importance of UV mapping, creating seamless textures, and using different software tools to achieve the desired effect.\nOne key takeaway is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to texturing. Every model is unique, and the textures should reflect that. Experimenting with different techniques and tools can help you find the best approach for your project.\nAnother important consideration is the impact of lighting on your textures. Understanding how light interacts with your model can help you create more realistic textures that respond to different lighting conditions.\nFinally, it’s important to remember that texturing is just one part of the 3D modeling process. It’s important to consider the overall design of your model and how the textures fit into that design. Whether you’re creating a game asset or a product visualization, the textures should enhance the overall experience for the viewer.\nIn conclusion, creating textures for 3D models can be a challenging but rewarding process. By following some basic principles and experimenting with different techniques, you can achieve stunning results that bring your models to life.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Study of the microbial biodiversity of Irpinian grapevines for optimizing the production of typical wines (Aglianico and Fiano).\n[Tesi di dottorato]\nAt the industrial level, the study of microbial biodiversity of different vine cultivars of the wine industry could provide an effective way to meet the demands for greater health, quality and typicality of the wine by a consumer, without colliding with the statutory prohibition or prejudice associated with the use of genetically modified vine and yeast. This research involves the study of microbial biodiversity of two cultivars of vine which originate from Irpinia, a region possessing an established vine industry: Aglianico and Fiano. As a first step, we created a collection of yeasts isolated from grapes and grape vines and these were later identified. Analysis of their morphology and biochemical characteristics identified them as belonging to four main genera: Saccharomyces spp., Kloeckera spp., Candida spp. and Metschinikowia spp. With regards to the Aglianico, Saccharomyces yeasts were found only in the musts, whereas in Fiano they were also present on grapes. In both cases the non-Saccharomyces genera were the predominant ones on grapes. Most of the yeasts selected were resistant to high concentrations of SO2 (100 ppm and 250 ppm), including non-Saccharomyces generally considered very sensitive to this compound. Also, only a small fraction of them were able to secrete β-glucosidase, an enzyme that, in enology, catalyzes the release in the must of odorous molecules in the form of volatile terpenes. The analysis of data obtained from the selections highlighted some yeasts, and Saccharomyces spp. and non-Saccharomyces spp., which have been used in various combinations for wine production on an industrial scale: these belong to the species S. cerevisiae, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Metschnokowia pulcherrima and Hanseniaspora guilliermondii. In the case of R. mucilaginosa, it was used alongside commercial yeast in the fermentation of both types of must for the 2007 vintage, while the others have been used in various combinations with each other, and the commercial yeast in the harvest of 2008, only with musts from the vineyards of origin. S. cerevisiae strains AGYP37 and M. pulcherrima AGYP28 were used in the fermentation of Aglianico while S. cerevisiae strains FYP69 and H. guilliermondii FWL66 in that of Fiano. As for the fermentation of 2007, the strain R. mucilaginosa AGWLR12 had better results in Aglianico than in Fiano, reaching an alcohol content and total acidity levels higher than the control, without producing too much acetic acid and completing fermentation one week in advance. Aromatic analysis of wines made with this yeast shows that it has influence on the content of methanol, and yields more higher alcohols and especially terpenes. Compared to the control, the latter increased by three times in Aglianico and by almost nine times in Fiano. This increase is due to the action of a β-glucosidase of AGWLR12 which is quite active under the conditions of the must and also responsible for increasing the content of resveratrol in the Aglianico wine, through its capacity for hydrolysis of the precursor trans-piceid. Sensory analysis confirmed the positive contribution of Rhodotorula AGWLR12 to both Fiano and Aglianico, resulting in a greater intensity of almost all parameters. Furthermore, on 2008 wines, it has shown some positive differences among samples as well, with regard the colour, the aroma and taste-tactile sensation. The analysis of wine and biochemical parameters of the wines of 2008 vintage shows that selected strains of native yeasts are efficient in completing fermentation and can affect wine quality. The best results were obtained in the fermentation of Aglianico grape where, in comparison to the control, native yeasts increased the total acidity without producing excessive amounts of acetic acid, reached more or less constant values of pH and alcohol content, increased colour, increased the content of polyphenols, flavonoids and coloured anthocyanins, and increased the reducing power but not the anti-radical activity of wine, except in one case. HPLC analysis showed a significant increase of gallic acid, catechin and once of resveratrol in experimental fermentation of Aglianico. The magnitude of these changes seems to be influenced by the interaction of yeasts. During the fermentation of Fiano musts, native yeasts achieved the same alcohol content, pH, polyphenol and flavonoid content, antiradical activity and reducing power of the control, not producing excessive amounts of acetic acid. A positive feature was an increase of catechin levels. These results indicate that indigenous yeasts, at least those isolated from Aglianico, can help to confer quality and wholesomeness to wine.\nActions (login required)", "label": "No"}

One of his major claims to fame was his discovery of the river St. Lawrence. He was trained in navigation from Dieppe and was known far and wide for his excellent navigation capabilities. He accompanied Verrazano to expeditions to the New World and traveled to the Newfoundland around 1500.\nJacques Cartier Route\nIt was the king of France who sent Cartier to complete what Cabot could not and in the year 1531, Jacques Cartier was chosen to discover the sea route to reach the Pacific Ocean from the north-western passage. It was in April that year that Cartier started from his hometown and sailed through Newfoundland within a few weeks.\nIt was at this time that he discovered the lands of Prince Edward and Magdalen islands. After this, he sailed through and captured Gaspe Peninsula. However, he made the mistake of thinking river St. Lawrence to be a bay and thus could not interpret the magnitude of his discovery.\nHis accounts of his travels made many other travelers interested in the New World and the treasures that lay in it. It was only in 1535 when Cartier went to river St. Lawrence again that he recognized what he had discovered.\nHow did Jacques Cartier Die\nThis time he continued in his journey and set base at Montreal and then arrived at a Quebecan village to take a halt. However, it was at this village that many of his men fell ill and died. He, in fact, took many of the inhabitants of the village as his prisoners in order to search for a gold mine that never really existed in reality.\nHe then helped establish a Canadian colony in 1541but he could not find an adequate number of his fellow countrymen who wanted to make a journey to the New World and endure the struggles that it entailed. In this project, he was together with Roberval.\nFamous French Explorer: Jacques Cartier\nHowever, after a lot of struggle when men were found and brought together by Roberval Jacques Cartier ditched his partner and ran back to France. Jacques Cartier was not successful in fulfilling the aim of finding a passage through the northwest which he had set out to accomplish. However, he was remembered for the contribution that he had made to his nation.\nThe accounts that he had left behind of his travels were instrumental in encouraging future explorations by the French to find newer territories in Canada.

{"text": "What is a mammogram?\nAlso known as mammography, it is a process that uses low energy X-rays to conduct an examination of the breasts. Similar to typical X-ray imaging, the procedure uses low dosage of radiation to create images of the breasts which will then be analyzed for any abnormalities.\nWhat is it used for?\nTo date, getting a mammogram screening is the most common method used in the detection of breast cancer. Breast cancer has been one of the leading causes of death in many female cancer patients. While doctors still recommend self-examination to detect any foreign lumps or bumps in the breasts, a mammogram scan actually reveals any growths before you can even feel them. An early detection of the tumor greatly increases the chances of recovery.\nMammogram screening is recommended for women aged 40 and above. For the best detection, you should do a mammogram screening at least once every two years. Any foreign lumps or growths that are detected will be removed for biopsy and examination. This is to make sure that the lumps are benign (non-cancerous). In the worst case scenario, an early detection boosts chances of recovery significantly.\nThe process for taking a mammogram is relatively fast. Before you take the scan, make sure that your chest area and underarms are clean. Avoid putting on any skin products such as lotions, deodorants, powders and anything that could affect the imaging. The operator will ask you to place you breasts onto a platform. A plate is then used to gently press down for a deeper scan of the inner tissues. The entire procedure takes several minutes.\nAt Sri Kota Specialist Medical Centre Klang, we offer mammogram screening at affordable rates. In our effort to combat breast cancer, we encourage all women to conduct frequent self-examinations in addition to having mammogram screenings.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Mandala Of Indic Traditions\nDid You Know?\nBy D.P. Agrawal\nA popular ayurvedic herb is blacklisted by the US media on unjustifiable grounds\nThe reports cite a study conducted by researchers from the University of Kansas, USA, which indicates that consumption of Gugulipid, a patented chemical derived from guggul (Commiphora mukul), is harmful because it reduces the efficacy of allopathic drugs. But instead of blaming the product, the media has condemned the herb.\nAccordin to Ayurveda, the herb should be ideally used to treat arthritis. But in the West (mainly the US), it is marketed as an anti-cholesterol agent after studies conducted by the Lucknow based Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) indicated that the herb's active ingredient can effectively lower cholesterol levels. Supplements containing Gugulipid are commonly available in the US without a prescription. Such self-medication obviously results in problems, and experts assert that the Kansas study rightly highlights the risk of 'off-label' use of the medicine. The researchers found that guggulsterones (the active ingredient) triggers pregnane x receptors (PXR) at an abnormal rate, following which allopathic drugs break up too quickly in the body. PXR is a receptor that recognises the presence of drugs and signals the body to turn on the CYP 3A4 enzyme system in the liver to break down the medicines. Around 60 per cent of allopathic drugs are metabolised by the CYP 3A4 pathway, including those meant to treat AIDS, cancer and cholesterol. If PXR receptors are triggered excessively, the CYP 3A4 system is stimulated more and the drug is removed from the body much faster than required, rendering it ineffective. The findings, (Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Vol 310, No 2, August 2004), are the first comprehensive scientific evidence of how unregulated use of guggul can be harmful. A small-scale study conducted in 1994 by researchers at the Mumbai based Seth GS Medical College had indicated that a single oral dose of 1 gm of Gugulipid could affect the bioavailability of a single oral dose of propranolol (used for controlling hypertension) and diltiazem (meant for treating high blood pressure).\nThe latest findings highlight the need to spread awareness about the safe usage of ayurvedic medicines. This is a must, as unwarranted media reports could not only shake people's belief in this system of healing, but also affect India economically; India exports guggul products on a large-scale. The gratuitous information could lead to a blanket ban on these products in all developed nations.\nThe process of extracting Gugulipid is also to be blamed. Manufacturers make Gugulipid by treating guggul with various solvents. This results in a concentrated form of the medicine that only has the active ingredient. In Ayurveda, guggul is treated with herbs, milk and at times cow urine; the final product contains all chemicals present in the herb that work together to bring about the desired affect. Moreover, one mitigates the harmful effects of the other. This advantage is lost when only one compound (the active ingredient) is used. \"If only a component of the herb is used, it should be tested against 'specific' disease according to modem pharmacology for its safety and efficacy,\" asserts Kuldeep Kohli, Director of Dabur Research Foundation, Uttar Pradesh.\n\"Gugulipid is safe to use in people who are not taking other medications that are metabolised by the CYP3A pathway. But more human clinical trials are needed to adequately address this issue,\" asserts Jeffrey Leonard Staudinger, one of the authors of the Kansas study. \"Instead of saying that Ayurveda is bad, the world should stop its misuse. It is important to adhere to traditional knowledge,\" concludes Balendu Prakash, Director of Vaidya Chandra Prakash Cancer Research Foundation, Dehradun.\nSource: Down to Earth 2005\nA popular Ayurvedic herb is blacklisted by the US media on unjustifiable grounds\nPosted February 17th 2006\nBack to \"Did\nYou Know?\" Archive", "label": "No"}

It was a great event in contemporary history, as historic as the birth of Pakistan in 1947.\nFor Pakistan the event of the completion of 100 years of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also of great significance. Both the nations have much in common: their religion; their culture; their history as ideological states; and their quest for a better tomorrow in the 21st century as a modern welfare Islamic state.\nPakistan and Saudi Arabia have maintained extremely cordial relations and strong ties of mutual trust, cooperation and brotherhood since times immemorial.

{"text": "In the autumn and winter, the incidence of colds increases sharply. Particularly unpleasant is a runny nose or cough, sometimes it's very difficult to work and do not pass. Cough happens different - dry and moist, and if dry cough cures faster and more actively, then many people do not give proper attention to moist cough, although this cough may sometimes point to the development of very serious pathologies up to pneumonia.\nCough - is a protective reaction of the organism to the introduction of pathogens and inflammation that occurs in response to the flow of impulses from the mucous membranes.\nWhy is a wet cough?\nUsually, a wet cough occurs as a result of excessive mucus or sputum formation in the region of the upper or lower respiratory tract as a result of infectious and inflammatory processes.\nCoughing, as a rule, is one of the symptoms, along with general malaise, sore throat, runny nose and fever, although it may be the only sign of the disease.\nMost often, a cough occurs as a result of acute respiratory viral infections or acute or chronic rhinitis, sinusitis or adenoiditis. Usually such a cough appears in the morning after a dream, as a result of ingestion of mucus from the nasopharynx along the back wall of the pharynx.\nA wet cough can be a symptom of chronic bronchitis in the stage of exacerbation with the withdrawal of mucous or purulent sputum, as well as one of the manifestations of pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs) as a result of the formation of inflammatory exudate and irritation of small bronchi.\nWet cough can be a symptom of more serious diseases - tuberculosis, lung abscess or tumor. Therefore, the persistent wet cough requires a doctor's consultation and a detailed examination.\nTreatment of wet cough\nUsually a wet cough is the result of the transition of dry painful cough into the productive stage when taking medications.\nWet cough more easily tolerated by patients, and should only effectively vidkashlyuvaty and rid the airways of mucus. But the transition of dry cough in the wet to let the process take its course should not - must conduct further therapeutic measures for the complete elimination of cough.\nWet cough treatment also requires that a large amount of mucus in the respiratory system and its excessive production may induce a state of \"swamping\" bronchi or lungs and sputum of infection - this leads to septic complications.\nThe correct technique for treating wet coughing will depend on the cause that caused the cough and other manifestations of the disease. Without effect on the very cause of coughing it is impossible to fully cure cough.\nThus, when the viral infection need of antiviral therapy, microbial - antibiotics to suppress microbial flora and the consequent inflammation.\nIn the treatment of the same cough as a symptom should facilitate the discharge of mucus that accumulates in the bronchi or lungs, and improve the overall condition of the patient, and if necessary a productive cough sputum - the use of that increase production of mucus and phlegm, which then should all fully vidkashlyaty. The best effect is achieved with a comprehensive effect on all causes of cough.\nWhat to start treatment for wet cough\nWhen coughing, in addition to drugs, important and common measures of influence, such as the reception of abundant alkaline drinking. This helps to make the sputum milder and helps it slip away more easily. Such drinks include degassed heat alkaline mineral water, warm milk with honey and oil, tea with raspberries or lemon, herbal teas, hipster decoction.\nIt is necessary to create a cool and damp air in the room - in hot dry premises there is dehydration of the mucous membranes and stimulation of coughing.\nNecessary frequent ventilations, use of a humidifier or hanging of wet towels. In addition, it is important to have a full-fledged wet cleaning with the removal of dust and allergens that can provoke cough.\nAnd at least for the time of illness it is worth abandoning smoking, including passive - tobacco smoke strongly irritates the bronchi and throat.\nAt the time of treatment, cough should be abandoned by a very cold, acute and irritating food.\nBut to lie in bed when treating a wet cough is not necessary - when wet cough is necessary to move and stimulate the flow of sputum, as a constant lying contributes to the stagnation of sputum and worse she cough. Excellent help in removing breathing exercises and singing vocal sounds.\nMethods of treatment of wet cough\nOne of the methods of treating cough with poor thinning of thick sputum can be inhalation - use steam inhalation or nebuliser. As components of inhalation it is possible to use herbal decoctions, essential oils or soda solution, as well as medications on the advice of a doctor.\nSteam inhalation should be carried out carefully, so as not to cause burns of mucous membranes and allergies (especially on essential oils).\nIn folk medicine, when coughing is used warming compresses on the chest, radish juice with honey or potato juice. The vibrating massage (patting and tapping on the chest cavity) and postural drainages (reception of certain provisions for sputum withdrawal) is very helpful for coughing.\nBut only folk medicine and general measures cough can not cure it is not always - then the drugs come from the pharmacy.\nThe use of medicines\nIn the treatment of wet cough, the use of drugs for suppressing the cough reflex (codec, sinecode) is prohibited, moreover - drugs for stimulating coughing are shown.\nDrugs prescribed for wet cough have mucolytic, sputtering effect and expectorant properties.\nUsually doctors are trying to prescribe cough preparations that have less side effects - herbion, licorice root, plantain, mother-and-stepmother.\nAmong expectorant drugs are used preparations of reflex action, which help with irritation of cough receptors - altea, licorice root, essential oils, and preparations of resorptive action - potassium iodide and sodium, sodium bicarbonate.\nTo make sputum easier and faster to go away, prescribe mucolytic and mucorage preparations - they normalize the viscosity and amount of sputum in the bronchi and lungs. These include carboticosin, ACCs, ambroxol and bromhexine.\nWhen allergic cough is used antihistamines and drugs for bronchial enlargement with their spasm. Combined drugs with mucosorbital, anti-inflammatory and other effects can be used.\nA specific drug will be advised by a doctor - self-medication should not be taken when coughing!", "label": "No"}

{"text": "How does a Child Development Account (CDA), opened for an infant at the time of birth, shape that child’s trajectory as he or she grows? For 12-year-old children and their families, the CDA in SEED for Oklahoma Kids had very large positive impacts on financial outcomes and some positive impacts on nonfinancial outcomes, even though the experiment had little intervention over the past 9 years.\nThis report presents findings from the long-running SEED for Oklahoma Kids experiment, a randomized Child Development Account experiment. Launched in 2007 with a representative sample of newborns, the experiment provided CDAs with substantial initial deposits to children in the treatment group, offering their parents savings incentives and subsidies. The experiment has continued to follow beneficiaries, who are now adolescents. Released in conjunction with a Research Summary on financial outcomes as of December 2019, this report presents results from a 2020 survey of the beneficiaries’ parents and from analyses of account data through 2019.

{"text": "Neighborhood Segregation and African American Health\nFor a long time, the medical community has known that African Americans are more likely to have high blood pressure. In an effort to find associations with this glaring health disparity, studies have been performed to understand how African American’s lifestyle habits may affect blood pressure. However, there is very limited research on how the social environment may cause poor health outcomes.\nOn Monday, May 15th, Northwestern University released a first of its kind study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study examines the long term effects of how leaving segregated communities could affect the risk of heart disease. The study involves following more than 2,000 African-Americans between 18-30 years old that were living in highly segregated neighborhoods in Oakland, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Birmingham, AL. The researchers followed the subjects for 25 years and found associations that those who moved away from less segregated neighborhoods and stayed there during the study period had significantly low blood pressure even after accounting for other factors that could have played a role, such as changes in income and education.\nThe study does not explain how moving to less-segregated neighborhoods could affect blood pressure, but factors may include less stress from being exposed to less violence and discrimination and access to parks, community centers, and grocery stores with more fresh produce and pharmacies to get medication.\nThere are positive implications of having people move from more segregated neighborhoods to more integrated neighborhoods, like lower blood pressure. By noticing this shift and listening to the stories of these 18-30 year olds, the researchers were able to recognize and validate the health disparities that exist in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods. Consequently, this research will challenge the inappropriate care provided to African American families by recognizing the effect of their living environment.\nCultural competency (consequently, cultural humility) is a strong driver in eliminating health disparities and closing the ethnic and racial gaps in healthcare as it fosters meaningful collaboration in which patients and doctors can speak about health concerns in a way that cultural differences enhance the treatment.\nWritten by: Colin Hart", "label": "No"}
{"text": "When writing, just write.\nDon’t worry about grammar, punctuation, unnecessary words, or any other creative distractions. When you write, just get your thoughts out of your brain and onto “paper” (in whatever form that paper may be: recording, computer document, napkin, or actual paper…)\nAfter you’ve spilled your creative brilliance, it’s time to fine tune your thoughts through editing.\nIt’s at the editing stage where you take care of the technical part of writing and have the opportunity to reflect on what you actually wrote to be sure your idea is expressed in the best form possible.\nFor the conceptual side of editing, ask yourself:\n- ==>Does what you wrote accurately reflect your idea?\n- ==>Did you say what you wanted to say?\n- ==>Will your reader understand it?\n- ==>Are your thoughts presented in the best order so that you make your point?\nOn the technical side or editing, there are some simple editing steps to tighten up your copy.\nI’ve created a quick list with some of these technical items; however, feel free to break any of these editing rules. After all, you don’t want to completely edit out your unique voice, style, and “flavor” of writing.\nHere’s how it works:\nWhen you have written your document into a computer program (like MS Word), the editing part is simplified. Use the “find” (e.g. Ctl+F) feature on your computer and then type in the word or phrase that may be on the “offender” list. Once your computer program finds that word or phrase in your document, read it in context of the sentence or paragraph and make adjustments as needed.\nWhile there are many writing rules, many offenses fall under the following categories:\n- Use Active language rather than Passive language (e.g. “The moderator gave an analysis of the court case” vs. “The moderator analyzed the court case”)\n- Remove Redundancy (e.g. “free gift”, “smaller in size” “grinned happily” “shouted angrily”)\n- Reduce phrases to a single word (e.g. “people who are experienced at cooking” to “experienced cooks”)\n- Use adverbs as qualifiers in moderation (e.g. “I was somewhat surprised” to “I was surprised”)\n- Avoid phrases that don’t add value (e.g. “in the event that” or “in the final analysis”)\n- Avoid clichés (some need to be sent to the cliché retirement home such as “take it to the next level”)\n- Replace a long word with a shorter word (don’t be pretentious)\n- If you can omit a word, do it (make every word count…don’t just chase a word-count)\nAfter you write your piece, skim off the first layer of unnecessary language from your writing by using your computer’s “Find” feature to do the following.\nSearch “that” – you will be amazed at how often you add “that” to a sentence when it doesn’t need to be there. For example: “It was well known that they went to the beach every summer…” can be updated to read “Everybody knew they went to the beach every summer…”\nSearch “I” – because some writing should be more about the reader, than the writer. This is especially true in business-focused writing. The reader is most concerned about how the content benefits them, not you. For example: “I believe that you should…” can be turned into “You should…”\nSearch “in” – this can highlight phrases which repeat the quality or reality of something. For example: “it’s smaller in size” can be “it’s smaller”; “is longer in duration” can be “it’s longer”.\nSearch “which” and “who” – this helps find phrases which can be condensed and made more “action-oriented” with the use of an adjective (see the examples below for “Nouns followed by descriptive phrases”).\nSearch “which is” and “who are” – for the same reasons as noted above, these two words can often be omitted from the sentence. For example: “We went to the Kentucky Derby, which is known as one of the most important horse races in the States” becomes “We went to the Kentucky Derby, known as one of the most important horse races in the states.”\nSearch “extremely” “somewhat” “very” “really” “totally” “actually” “definitely” “even” “just” “so” “truly” – these are on the list of overused adverbs. There will be times when you want to leave them in; other times you can remove them.\nSearch “ly” – for the same reason as above. Find the adverbs you’re using (words which describe a verb, adjective, or adverb) and decide if they stay or need to be cut from your writing.\nSearch “there are” and “there is” – you can improve a sentence by making it more active, especially when this phrase comes at the beginning of a sentence. For example: “There is something special about Mary that people are drawn to” can become “People are drawn to Mary by something special”\nOther Editing things to check for in your Writing:\nNouns followed by descriptive phrases. To make this more active, consider taking out the descriptive phrase and replacing it with an adjective before the noun. For example:\n- “The class which taught cooking” becomes “The cooking class”\n- “The boat which was used to pull skiers around the lake” becomes “The ski boat”\n- “The boat which is owned by the fisherman” becomes “The fisherman’s boat”\n- “Students who are at the top of their class” becomes “Top students”\nPhrases that don’t add value to the sentence:\n- At the present time\n- For all intents and purposes\n- In the event that\nOverused Clichés (just a few)\n- Writing is on the wall\n- Take it to the next level\n- Amp it up\n- Your true self\n- Your authentic self\n- Better late than never\n- Think outside the box\n- At the end of the day\n- The bottom line\n- It’s not rocket science\n- Like taking candy from a baby\n- Love makes the world go ‘round\n- Selling like hotcakes\n- In the nick of time\n- Win-win situation\n- Best practices\n- Low-hanging fruit\n- Web 2.0\n- Push the envelope\n- Going forward\n- Bring your “A” game\n- Drinking the Kool-Aid\n- Manage expectations\n- Step up to the plate\nThis list gives you a starting point for editing. Once you clean up the initial “junk”, take a break, come back to your writing, and then read through it again to make any other adjustments.\nHave fun, keep writing, and tell me how you’re doing.\nOh, still need more? then click on this link and I’ll give you a PDF with this information with an easy four-step writing process, and a handy little checklist.\n**Be sure to share this with all your writing friends…Unleash the closet writers!\nUntil next time…\nMember-only Content Marketing and Writing Tips Direct to your Inbox!\nJoin our mailing list to receive the latest marketing and writing tips from our us.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "George Paris Monke\nDied 1828. He was the only son of a captain in the Horse Guards.\nMonke joined the navy in June 1775 aboard the Worcester 64, Captain Mark Robinson, going out to Cape Finisterre and Gibraltar in the following year. In March 1777 he was accepted aboard the Fox 28, Captain Patrick Fotheringham, which frigate on 7 June was captured by two American vessels of a similar size. Monke was imprisoned on one, the Boston, which escaped a month later when the Fox was recaptured with the other American vessel by the Rainbow 44, Captain Sir George Collier. After a further imprisonment in the city of Boston, Monke was eventually exchanged, and upon rejoining the Fox he returned to England with that vessel in early 1778.\nShortly afterwards Monke joined the Courageux 74, Captain Lord Mulgrave, in which he fought at the Battle of Ushant on 27 July 1778, and with which he remained until appointed acting-lieutenant of the fire-ship Harpy 18, Commanders Phillip Walsh and William Cayley in September 1780. He was officially commissioned lieutenant of the Warrior 74, Captain Sir James Wallace, on 17 November 1781, in which capacity he fought at the Battle of the Saintes on 12 April 1782. Next appointed first lieutenant of the prize ship Jason 64, Captain John Aylmer, Monke returned to England, although the Jason’s departure from Jamaica was delayed and she thus avoided the fate of Rear-Admiral Thomas Graves prize convoy that was decimated by the Central Atlantic Hurricane on 16 September 1782.\nIn June 1783 Monke provided testimony in support of a marine lieutenant, Charles Bourne, at his trial for libel and assault upon Captain Sir James Wallace. The dispute had arisen during their time aboard the Warrior where Bourne had formed a faction with Monke against the other officers and the captain. Monke’s testimony was by implication deplored by the judge, and Bourne was found guilty leading to a heavy sentence.\nFrom the end of 1790 Monke commanded the cutter Speedwell 16 in the Channel, prior to entering Woolwich in the spring of 1791 in the event of her being required to join the Impress Service. She then served in the North Sea, capturing a similarly rated smuggling vessel, the Ostend-based Hell-Afloat 14, off Yorkshire on 31 May 1792 in which engagement several of the latter’s crew were killed.\nWith a hot press impending at the start of the French Revolutionary War in 1793 the Speedwell was sent to bring shipwrecked sailors home from Jutland, and having embarked over one hundred men Monke’s passage home was one fraught with the fear that they might overpower him in order to avoid being forced into the navy. Indeed, so traumatic was this voyage that he was obliged to resign his command through ill health in August 1793.\nMonke later served aboard the Maidstone 32, Captain John Mathews, and the newly-commissioned Ville de Paris 110, Captain Walter Locke, from which ship he was promoted commander on 11 March 1797, just prior to that vessel sailing for the Mediterranean. His promotion led to a further protracted period of unemployment, during which time he produced a work entitled ‘A Vocabulary of Sea Phrases and Terms of Art used in Seamanship and Naval Architecture’, including a version in French to allow prize-masters to sail captured vessels.\nIn August 1808 Monke took the Centurion 50 out to Halifax as a store ship, and she remained on this station, initially as a hospital ship. He was still at Halifax in command of the sloop Driver when the frigate Statira 38 arrived from Portsmouth in November 1809, and as her captain, Charles Boys, had died at sea from the Walcheren Fever Monke assumed the command in an acting capacity. Accordingly he was posted captain on 12 January 1810, and after sailing for the Leeward Islands he was present at the capture of Guadeloupe in February before leaving her shortly afterwards.\nIn October 1810 he joined the Pallas 32, but having spent some time cruising off Norway his command was wrecked on returning to Leith in the Firth of Forth on 18 December. The Nymphe 36, Captain Edward Sneyd Clay was also wrecked on the same night, with both ships apparently mistaking a burning lime kiln ashore for a lighthouse.\nMonke did not enjoy any further employment and he died on 14 November 1828 at Dunkirk.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "- Food and Cooking»\n- Cooking Ingredients»\n- Fruit Ingredients\nCoconut: The Largest Nut - Properties and Healthy Uses\nFamily of the: Arecaceae\nCommon name of the plant: Coconut\nScientific name of the plant: CocosNucifera\nWhere does the coconut tree usually grow: The coconut tree is used to growing in the tropics, commonly at shore and at a beach. Countries that fulfill these specifications are the countries located in the Caribbean and all along the shore of central and South America.\nDescription of the coconut tree: Though the coconut tree is indeed a very picturesque tree recognized by most of the world’s populous we will still go through the description of the plant. The coconut tree can grow to be up to 30 meters long and leaves up to 20 feet long. The tree portrays a set of rings on its trunk as it grows.\nThe seed/fruit in this case the coconut can be about as large as a human headand weighs a little over 3 pounds and it has three layers.This does not mean that all coconuts are as large as your head as you might’ve realized some people have heads smaller and bigger than yours. In other words, coconut sizes will vary from genus to genus The leaves resemble the leaves of the fern tree despite the fact the reproduction method is completely different. The leaves then sprout at the top of the tree, since the trunk of this tree is its only branch per say.\nThe exocarpalso known as the exterior husk of the coconut closely followed by the mesocarp which is the interior husk. The mesocarp is usually what is sold in supermarkets. The endocarp would be the fleshy region of the coconut and it is also the part that can be consumed by humans.\nInside the endocarp depending on the ripeness of the coconut you will find “water” or a liquid that looks like water. This coconut water has been found to be refreshing and it is also sold as a beverage. The coconut tree’s flowers are both male and female and they flower continuously. The roots of the tree branch from its stem and are somewhat thin in comparison to other plant’s roots. The whole plant can be used making it a very sought out plant.\nWhen the coconut’s fleshiseaten it provides the consumer with carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, which include a healthy amount of magnesium and iron. It is also used to rehydrate as a replacement for water or Gatorade. The coconut flesh is used to make coconut milk and oil, which can be used for cooking, and to treat medical ailments. Coconut oil has a great variety of uses including:\n-Healing the skin and preventing infections\n- Used by guitar players to lubricate their strings\n- Moisturizing the skin\n-give shine to your hair\n- When ingested the oil aids bowel movements and it helps absorb nutrients and minerals better\n- It stabilizes sugar and insulin levels in the body\nThose are some of the few applications of coconut oil but some of the best. The coconut oil can be used for frying; its flesh can be used for the creation of many desserts as well as its milk. Coconut milk or coconut extract is obtained after processing the coconut’s flesh leaving as products what could be considered coconut shavings and coconut milk but never mind the technicalities. The water as mentioned can be turned into a refreshing beverage. The coconut tree is also used to decorate areas and to offer shade.\nUses of the coconut tree and the coconut\nTo begin with the whole tree is used. The first simple use given to the tree itself is wood as a building material. The coconut tree’s wood is resistant to salt and it also considered hardwood, making it extremely useful for construction. The roots are used to make medicine and dye. The leaves can be used to make carbon and to make temporal rooftops for sheds. The leaves can also be used as arrows as the infographic informs.\nThe coconuts leaves are used to make nectar and if fermented it can become palm wine. The flesh has the largest amount of uses since due to the amusing and hilarious muse of a man I know that says; “hunger is the mother of all sciences”. And it is! Coconut flesh in the Dominican Republic is used to make an array of sweets and in other parts of the world to make beverages alcoholic and not. The coconut has hundreds upon hundreds of uses. We will be adding recipies, other uses and ways you can incorporate coconut into your life. The husk is used to create a straw of sorts that is used to fill mattresses, make hats and other useful tools.\nUses of Coconut: Recipe One\nI don't know how everyone makes their Rice Pudding but this is the way we prepare it, and it is so delicious that it will be impossible to stop eating it.\n- 2 Cups of rice\n- 2 Cups of water\n- 1 Cup of coconut milk\n- 1/2 Tablespoon of salt\n- 1 Tablespoon of butter\n- 1 Liter of whole cow milk\n- 3 Slices of lemon rind\n- 1 Cinnamon stick\n- 7 Sweet cloves\n- 1/2 Teaspoon of white vanilla\n- 1/2 Cup of raisins\n- Place a casserole on the fire with the 5 cups of water, the salt, the 3 slices of lemon rind, the cinnamon and the cloves. When the water starts boiling we add the rice and stir it to avoid it from sticking.\n- Place the fire at a mid point and keep stirring periodically to avoid the creation of rice lumps. When 25 minutes have elapsed the water will begin drying away and it will be the moment to add the cow milk to begin cooking the rice in milk. This will give it a soft texture and finish cooking the rice.\n- It is time to remove the cloves and the lemon rinds. Now, in a container of our choice we mix the coconut milk and the sugar until the sugar becomes completely diluted. We then incorporate it into the rice which should be completely done. We must always stir to avoid it sticking to the casserole.\n- Finally we add the butter and the vanilla and verify if the amount of salt is of your taste. 5 Munutes before it is ready put the raisins and let it cook and you are done.\nRice Coconut Milk/Oil Recipe\nCoconut is great for cooking. Have you ever had regular rice with coconut? It tastes delicious and it is healthier than any other way you can cook rice because of the nut's properties. Here are two ways to do it - milk or oil - whatever way is easier for you.

Being that the husk is more durable than certain barks it will keep your soil oxygenated aiding and giving your precious garden plants a healthier look due to the fact that some plants need space underground for their roots to suck in nutrients and other good stuffs.\nYour orchids will be greateful!!!\nThe Properties of the Coconut Oil and Coconut Milk\nCoconuts, they are big, they are full of water and full of white stuff. You might be sitting there and wondering, “What good can a coconut do me?” Well my friend, the coconut is a beneficial nut to have around. The liquids (apart from the water) you can extract from the coconut have amazing healing and revitalizing properties that are essential to you and your health. The coconut oil and the coconut milk are miracle workers for your whole body. You can use them to cook and make desserts.\nThey help the repair and rehydration of your skin and your hair. They also aid the absorption of nutrients vitamins and minerals in the stomach when ingested aiding you in achieving a healthier lifestyle and keeping your body in a better shape. All of these nutrients and fibers will aid your bowel movements and this will consequently bring about and increase in weight loss. Coconuts also provide you with natural fatty acids that you cannot find in other plants. They help you strengthen your teeth and having a better and faster bowel movement.\nSo now we have one question at hand that must not go without answering. What properties do the coconut milk and coconut oil have inside them that makes them so revitalizing and healthy for me? Well to begin the small journey through these coconut extracts we have the moisturizing properties. This property is given by the fatty acids and vitamins found inside the extracts and in the long run it helps bowel movements and it stabilizes glucose levels. This is thanks to its natural levels of glucose and its cleansing properties.\nUse it on your hair as you take a shower or on your skin, use it when you cook your rice or even have an aromatherapy session with coconut scents. Doing these things will undoubtedly work wonders on your mood and on your health.\nArticle by: Alain Gutiérrez\nWhere to find coconut\nThis is one of the coconut producers in the Caribbean", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The pretty colorful pictures that we have been using so far are not very useful in practical projects. You can’t really draw them by hand, different components may look very similar, and it’s hard to see what is going on when there are a lot of connections. That’s why engineers prefer to use more symbolic representation of connection, a schematic.\nA schematic doesn’t care how the parts actually look like, or how their pins are arranged. Instead they use simple symbols. For instance, here’s a schematic of our experiment with the external LED:\nThe resistor is symbolized by a zig-zag. The LED is marked by a diode symbol (a triangle with a bar), with additional two arrows showing that it’s a light emitting diode. The board itself doesn’t have a special symbol – instead it’s symbolized by a rectangle with the board’s name written in it.\nThere is also a symbol for “ground” – the three horizontal lines. Since a lot of components need to be usually connected to the ground, instead of drawing all those wires, it’s easier to simply use that symbol.\nHere are some more symbols:\nIt’s important to learn to read and draw electric schematics, because anything more advanced is going to use them, and you will also need them when asking for help on the Internet.\nAnalog to Digital Converter¶\nOur board has only one “analog” pin,\nA0. That pin is connected to an ADC,\nor “analog to digital converter” – basically an electronic voltmeter, which\ncan tell you what voltage is on the pin. The one we have can only measure from\n0 to 1V, and would be damaged if it got more than 1V, so we have to be careful.\nWe will connect a photo-resistor to it. It’s a special kind of a resistor that changes its resistance depending on how much light shines on it. But to make this work, we will need a second, fixed, resistor to make a “volatge divider”. This way the voltage will change depending on the resistance of our photo-resistor.\nNow, we will just read the values in our program, and print them in a loop:\nfrom machine import ADC adc = ADC(0) while True: print(adc.read())\nYou should see a column of numbers changing depending on how much light the photo-resistor has. Try to cover it or point it toward a window or lamp. The values are from 0 for 0V, to 1024 for 1V. Ours will be somewhere in between.\nSo far all devices we connected to the board were relatively simple and only required a single pin. More sophisticated devices are controlled with multiple pins, and often have very elaborate ways in which you have to change the pins to make them do something, like sending a character to them, or retrieving a value. Those ways are often standardized, and already implemented for you, so that you don’t have to care about all the gory details – you just call high-level commands, and the libraries and/or hardware in your board handles it all for you.\nAmong the most popular protocols are UART, I²C and SPI. We are going to have examples of each of them, but we are not going to get into details of how they work internally. It’s enough to know that they let you send bytes to the device, and receive bytes in response.\nThose are actually WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs, but they are commonly known as “neopixels”. You can control individually the brightness and color of each of the LEDs in a string (or matrix, or ring). The connection is simple:\nAnd the code for driving them is not very complex either, because the library for generating the signal is included in Micropython:\nform machine import Pin import neopixel pixels = neopixel.Neopixel(Pin(14, Pin.OUT), 8) pixels = (0xff, 0x00, 0x00) pixels.write()\n8 is the number of LEDs in a chain. You can create all sorts of\nanimations, rainbows and pretty effects with those.\nTemperature and Humidity¶\nThe DHT11 and DHT22 sensors are quite popular for all sorts of weather stations. They use a single-wire protocol for communication. Micropython on ESP9266 has that covered:\nfrom machine import Pin import dht sensor = dht.DHT11(Pin(2)) sensor.measure() print(sensor.temperature()) print(sensor.humidity())\nThe connections are simple:\nLED Matrix and 7-segment Displays¶\nAdafruit sells a lot of “backpacks” with 7- or 14-segment displays or LED matrices, that we can control easily over I²C. They use a HT16K33 chip, so that we don’t have to switch on and off the individual LEDs – we just tell the chip what to do, and it takes care of the rest.\nThe schematic for connecting any I²C device will be almost always the same:\nThe two resistors on the schematic are needed for the protocol to work reliably with longer wires. For our experiments, it’s enough to rely on the pull-up resistors that are built into the board we are using.\nThe communication with the backpack is relatively simple, but I wrote two libraries for making it more convenient. For the matrix:\nfrom machine import I2C, Pin from ht16k33_matrix import Matrix8x8 i2c = I2C(sda=Pin(4), scl=Pin(5)) display = Matrix8x8(i2c) display.brightness(8) display.blink_rate(2) display.fill(True) display.pixel(0, 0, False) display.pixel(7, 0, False) display.pixel(0, 7, False) display.pixel(7, 7, False) display.show()\nand for the 7- and 14-segment displays:\nfrom machine import I2C, Pin from ht16k33_seg import Seg7x4 i2c = I2C(sda=Pin(4), scl=Pin(5)) display = Seg7x4(i2c) display.push(\"8.0:0.8\") display.show()\nTFT LCD Display¶\nThe I²C protocol is nice and simple, but not very fast, so it’s only good when you have a few pixels to switch. With larger displays, it’s much better to use SPI, which can be much faster.\nHere is an example on how to connect an ILI9340 display:\nAnd here is a simple library that lets you draw on that display:\nfrom machine import Pin, SPI import ili9341 spi = SPI(miso=Pin(12), mosi=Pin(13), sck=Pin(14)) display = ili9341.ILI9341(spi, cs=Pin(2), dc=Pin(4), rst=Pin(5)) display.fill(ili9341.color565(0xff, 0x11, 0x22)) display.pixel(120, 160, 0)\nAs you can see, the display is still quite slow – there are a lot of bytes to send, and we are using software SPI implementation here. The speed will greatly improve when Micropython adds hardware SPI support.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Friendly bacteria could reduce sick days\nLast updated at 16:20 07 November 2005\nResearchers gave a group of Swedish workers a daily \"probiotic\" drink laced with 100 million bugs believed to have health benefits.\nOver an 80-day period the 94 volunteers were 2.5 times less likely to take time off work for minor ailments than a similar group given a \"dummy\" product.\nHave you tried probiotic drinks? Tell us what you think of them at the foot of the page.\nProbiotics are bacteria which studies suggest can improve conditions in the gut and boost immunity.\nThey can be found in a number of health supplements, yoghurts and other products available in supermarkets and chemists.\nMany belong to the Lactobacillus family, which was used in the new study based at a Tetra Pak plant in Sweden.\nWorkers were offered a drink with a special straw that delivered Lactobacillus reuteri, a bug that has been shown to reduce illness in babies.\nA total of 23 out of 87 employees given the false product reported sick with colds and non-serious stomach conditions.\nBy contrast, only 10 of the 94 workers assigned the genuine drink took time off sick. In percentage terms, the difference was 26.4 per cent compared with 10.6 per cent.\nShift workers reaped most benefit\nThe effect was most significant for shift workers, who often get ill due to weakened immune systems. None of the 26 shift workers in the group given L. reuteri reported sick, compared with nine out of 27 workers in the control group.\nA previous study of healthy adults has shown that L. reuteri was able to stimulate the immune system by recruiting white blood cells.\nThe authors of the new research were led by Dr Py Tubelius, from Tetra Pak Occupational Health and Safety in Lund, Sweden.\nHe wrote in the journal Environmental Health: \"Although the exact mechanism of action cannot be defined from our study, it is likely that such an immune stimulation lies behind the reduced morbidity (illness) in the subjects taking L. reuteri.\n\"This stimulation may also explain why the beneficial effect of L. reuteri in our study was specifically apparent among shift workers\n\"Shift workers are known to be at risk for having a weaker immuno-defence as compared to those working day-time shifts only.\"\nShort-term sick leave is estimated to cost more than 2.2 billion euros (£1.5 billion) each year in Sweden, said the scientists.\nThe findings would translate to 4.3 million working days of improved productivity a year in the total Swedish work force.\n\"Our results indicate that the effect on shift work productivity could probably be even more profound, but this issue should be addressed in further study,\" said the researchers.\nLactobacillus bacteria are found in a wide range of yoghurts and probiotic products in the UK.\nOrchard Maid organic yoghurt is one product that specifically contains L. reuteri.

{"text": "7 Natural Sources for Collagen Production\nCollagen is an important dietary component. As the most abundant protein in the human body , it provides structure to everything from out hair to our skin, bones, ligaments, nails, tendons and more. If your hair has a shine to it and your skin has an intangible glow, your collagen levels are likely high.\nBut nothing good ever truly lasts forever, and by the time we turn 40 we have lost 10% to 20% of our collagen . This protein is also under constant attack from some naturally occurring enzymes within our bodies. Even environmental factors such as pollution or the sun play a role in its gradual depletion.\nThankfully, there are a number of foods that we can turn to in order to help replenish some of what we’ve lost. While many supplements exist, their nutrients are not as easily absorbed by the body as natural sources.\nHere are our seven favorite natural sources for collagen production.\nGelatin is one of the most plentiful sources available because gelatin is a cooked form of collagen , primarily made from the boiled connective tissue of cows and pigs. It is one of the fastest routes to collagen replenishment, as it is easily digested and absorbed by the body.\nWhile it might be tempting to grab a cart-full of supermarket Jello, that’s not going to get you the best results. Supermarket gelatin is incredibly processed, so any actual health benefits you could reap from it have been stripped away. It’s important to check out what kind of gelatin you’re buying , so that you can make an informed and healthy choice.\n2. Bone Broth\nBone broth is exactly what it sounds like. Broth made from the bones, tendons, ligaments, and joints of animals. By boiling down bones and connective tissue, you’re releasing pure collagen , along with a number of other beneficial amino acids, electrolytes, and proteins.\nBeef bone broth works wonders for skin health, while broth made from the bones of chickens and turkeys helps the joints.\n3. Dark Green Vegetables\nAll green plants produce a pigment called chlorophyll. This both makes them green and assists in photosynthesis . While chlorophyll help plants to convert sunlight into energy, consuming it can also help the human body produce procollagen , a precursor to collagen.\nDark green veggies are rich in vitamin C, which stabilizes the enzymes that contribute to collagen break down . Spinach and kale are excellent examples of this.\nCitrus is a wonderful source of vitamin C, which will help the amino acids lysine and proline convert to collagen within the body. Vitamin C also helps neutralize free radicals , one of collagen’s greatest enemies.\nThis valuable natural vitamin also acts as an antioxidant to protect against toxins we regularly take in from food, water, and the air. It is especially helpful with skin cell regeneration, so stock up on some oranges!\nThe yolk and eggshell membranes of chicken eggs contain collagen . Egg whites are also rich in glycine and proline , two amino acids that are the main components of collagen.\nEggs also have a high concentration of sulfur, which is required for collagen production . Sulfur helps to eliminate environmental pollutants and toxins which break down the protein. From membranes containing collagen to amino acids that produce it, to protection against toxins, eggs are a collagen production super food.\n6. Sulfur Foods\nWe spoke a bit in the last section about the importance of sulfur in the production of collagen. This trace mineral is present in a great many foods, such as beef, poultry, and dairy . All of these are excellent sources of the necessary sulfur.\nBut vegetable sulfur sources contain organosulfur, which is not present in animal food products. Onions, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and garlic are all great choices. Garlic even provides lipoic acid and taurine which can rebuild damaged collagen fibers .\n7. Red Fruits and Vegetables\nRed fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, beets, and peppers help protect the body’s collagen supply by acting as a natural sun block . This occurs thanks to an antioxidant called lycopene, which exists in all red fruits and vegetables. Lycopene helps to protect skin against the harmful effects of the sun which can lead to the destruction of collagen.\nLycopene is also believed to aid in collagen synthesis, though concrete evidence of this has yet to be discovered . Tomatoes also contain vitamin C which, as stated earlier, helps to produce collagen and protect against the toxins that destroy it.\nBy keeping some of the foods listed here in your daily diet, you’re helping to win the fight against collagen depletion. You’ll be shocked at how great your skin and hair will look and feel when collagen production is made a priority in your life.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "For three years, Hans Nilsson has been on a quest to find a rare white moose in southwestern Sweden. Finally, on two consecutive days last week, he succeeded—and, on the second day, happened to have his camera rolling, reports the Local. \"Everything fell into place: the location, the light, and the calmness,\" Nilsson says of Friday's encounter in the Varmland region. The resulting footage, which has since gone viral, shows a white moose crossing a small river and munching on foliage. According to the BBC, the animal is believed to be one of just 100 white moose in Sweden. While some are albino, the one Nilsson recorded is piebald, meaning its coloration is the result of a genetic mutation, per National Geographic.\nThough clearly rare, one expert believes white moose may be increasing in number in Sweden because hunters, apparently stunned by their beauty, tend to leave them in peace. Moose face few other predators in the country. But a local resident—whose apple tree is frequently visited by a white moose—says the animals are \"constantly chased and disturbed\" by non-hunters hoping for a glimpse of their white fur, per the Local. That's bad news for both the moose and humans since moose \"can get aggressive,\" she says. Two white moose calves were spotted earlier this summer in Norway, per Nat Geo.

{"text": "Democracy in the West has been long in making and we cannot point on a single person in any of the countries whom we would credit for having brought about democracy. We can only look at a long, and troublesome, history of social competition which has resulted in a state of affairs we call democracy, through wars and killings, scandals and murders, economic progress followed by economic collapse, technological progress, and spreading of free speech and its suppression and manipulation. These and other conditions, through a bloody history of hundreds if not thousands of years, brought about the conditions for democratic competition that the West now enjoys (but less so today than a couple of decades ago).\nIn Russia the history has been quite different. After the years of the Communist command system which destroyed all normal traditions of social interaction, Russia had to start from scratch to build democratic traditions for itself. In fact, saying that Russia started from scratch is a gross understatement, for after the government of the inept chatterer Gorbachev the country was in ruins and Russians had to start building a free society not from zero but with a huge handicap. Gorbachev’s limited economic reforms did not serve any meaningful purpose and only created the conditions for criminal gangs and vory to take over the economy and soon the political power as well.\nIt was up to Yeltsin to start to get the country in order, but he came too late. Gorbachev’s perestroika had already transformed the country into a total criminal anarchy. Without more than a handful of honest and trusted people around him Yeltsin could not achieve much in those conditions of anarchy and virtual civil war. But according to the western propaganda, this period of the 1990’s is referred to as democracy, which supposedly was then destroyed by Putin. They brashly claim that Putin has “systematically dismantled” the democratic institutions of Russia, parliament, political parties, free election, media, and the courts. This is a big lie, or a naïve misunderstanding at best. Misunderstanding about what is the nature of democracy, about the recent history of Russia, and the nature of a Communist society.\nMost fundamentally this criticism of Putin is based on a glorification of the Soviet Communist system. As if it would have served as a fundament for building a modern democratic society, just by way of some well-intentioned political decisions over the course of a few years. No. The work on building the democratic institutions only started with the fall of USSR. – These people think that the switch from the Communist USSR to the work on creating a democratic market economy of free Russia would be comparable to the change of ruling party in an established Western country. Say the UK, where a Tory Party comes in with its agenda after the Labor Party, or vice versa, making some decimal changes in the laws and government, which details the whole society publicly discusses with great interest. Hence, the ideas that Putin’s 12 year in power in Russia would be a long time for achieving paradise upon earth. – And who can seriously claim that the institutions that took thousands of years to emerge in the Western countries would have been ready to use in the few years of Yeltsin’s rule? The more when we know what criminal anarchy reigned during these years? Yes, Yeltsin began to develop them, and we lift our hats to his memory for this work. But it is only under Putin that they have developed to acquire the structure of real democratic institutions. The work is not finished yet, as we can see. And now, encouraged by the early success, Putin has announced further steps on consolidating the democratic competition in Russia.\nThe absolutely indispensable step to create the conditions for democracy was to finish with the criminal anarchy and the rule of the oligarchs. This inevitably meant a limitation of showcase democracy in favor of trusting the job of architect of democracy to the popularly elected president. This is what the Russian people did. They gave a carte blanche to Putin to bring order and create a democratic market economy. And Putin has delivered on that promise. With a renewed mandate on March 4 he will continue this work, now already from a solid base.\nIn the 1990’s there were no free elections. No conditions for such existed. The elections were a business for criminal gangs, oligarchs and political prostitutes, fraudulent maneuvers to have them appointed in various state organs by way of force, manipulation, money, media distortion etc. Most notoriously this was the case in regards to the regional governors, who ruled their subjects as feudal lords supported by the criminals, and being such themselves (with a few exceptions, perhaps, but I have not been told whom these exceptions could possibly be). In addition to ending the impudent rule of the oligarchs, the abolishing of the direct election of governors was the most important step towards building the conditions for ending the anarchy and bringing real democratic competition to Russia.\nIt is only under Putin that a free media has emerged in Russia. But according to the American propaganda organization Reporters Without Borders, the state of press freedom is dismal in Russia. They ranked Russia 142nd out of 172 countries just before Gambia, and preceded by such beacons of liberty as, for example, Zimbabwe (117), United Arab Emirates (112), Northern Cyprus (102). If Russia were in reality almost last in the list, then it would only mean that there are no problems with freedom of press in the world in general, for such is the level of freedom in Russia. Test for yourself, go any day and pick a random sample of the newspapers at sale on a Moscow newsstand. Plurality of opinion in all and most of them highly critical of Putin. The rankings themselves, courtesy of this propaganda organization, are regularly published in all the Russian press fresh as they appear, which is, to say the least, a great paradox. The blatant fraud in these rankings serves as strong evidence about all the other more sophisticated propaganda attacks against Russia.\nWhat about the courts? There was no independent judiciary in the Soviet Union, and not even a system of law in a proper sense, just an arbitrary system of meting out punishments. All this was subject to a complete change in the new Russia of Yeltsin (but no steps were made under Gorbachev’s perestroika). But this is only when the work started on building the normative base for law and taking the first steps to form an independent judiciary. Only a little was achieved under Yeltsin’s presidency. The economic hardships meant that judges did not get a pay that could possibly sustain their living thus directing many of them towards the temptation of corruption (under Putin the salaries of judges have increased almost 6 to 10-fold). The laws were new and traditions non-existent. So the critics are totally wrong to say that Putin has supposedly destroyed the independent judiciary, for there was no such thing prior to Putin coming in power. The judiciary is still underdeveloped but great strides forward have been taken thanks to the improved economic conditions and stability provided by Putin. The judiciary does not only have to be independent of the state, which it in Putin’s Russia largely is, but also independent of criminal corruption and based on solid traditions, which can only emerge by time.\nIn his election campaign Putin is promising a number of liberal changes to the economic laws and laws governing the political system. Some of the changes are considered radical and the critics argue that Putin is not to be trusted because he has already been 12 years in power and could have done the changes earlier. But the changes are not radical compared to the dramatic questions that Putin had to tackle during the first decade of his rule. Those were fundamental questions of the to-be-or-not-to-be of the whole statehood of Russia; questions of war and peace; questions of life and death. And he did not only conquer the difficulties but he also put in place the conditions for fine-tuning the system, which fine-tuning are for the primitively minded opposition the only democracy there can possibly be. As if you could have put a turbo engine on a horse carriage before going through all the other stages of development of the automobile.\nThese same reasons explain the problem of corruption. Corruption in Russia is rampant, no doubt about that, however, it is hard to believe that Transparency International is transparent and fair in ranking Russia 143rd worst corruption plagued country out of 182 countries surveyed. I know from my own personal experience running a group of companies offering law and accounting services here in Russia that it is fully possible to conduct honest and transparent business in Russia without bribing anybody. – This comment was in regards to the ranking the western propaganda has assigned Russia, not to say that corruption wouldn’t be a big problem. It is, and perhaps the biggest problem in the country. But it is also the most difficult one. Corruption in Russia is deeply rooted in the Soviet economy where goods and services were hard to come by.\nCorruption became endemic and the normal way for trying to secure what was needed as there was no real market and no currency which you could freely earn and use. It is impossible to measure the volumes of corruption in the USSR as the topic was forbidden, no surveys or studies on it could possibly have been produced. Naturally the monetary value of it must have been much less than it is in today’s Russia. This for the simple reason that as there was no private property, so big assets could not be turned around anyway. The corrupt practices were so widespread that most people engaged in it did probably not even consciously recognize doing something bad, they just did what life demanded of them to survive. Then with Gorbachev’s misconceived economic reforms these corrupt practices very taken to new heights. This is how the more brazen and criminal bent “businessmen” made their fortunes. During the years of anarchy in the 1990’s nothing was done about the problem, the virtual civil was consumed all the energy of the government. Almost no one was convicted for any kind of economic crime, and being investigated for corruption only lead to sharing the spoils with the investigators.\nIt is only in the last few years, two or three, that the fight has started to yield results. And today we can almost every week read about a new high profile corruption case. Why only now? ‘Why has Putin done nothing earlier?’ someone asks? Well, simply for the reason that earlier there was no state power in the country that could possibly have taken on the problem. Putin took over a country plagued by anarchy and without any central power. Most of the state apparatus where in hands of corrupt people, including the, by the western press so beloved, “freely elected governors,” the police, the prosecutors; and you could count in even a great deal of the parliamentarians. It is only now through a lot of work that escapes the lazy mind that Putin has been able to muster a response. So the reply to the ‘why not earlier’ is simply that the problems to tackle have been too enormous for such a short time. There is no doubt that during the next four years we will see a significant improvement in this regards, thanks to the continuing trust in Putin by the overwhelming majority of the people. But not much can be achieved before those who shout on Bolotnaya first start paying their taxes, demanding that their suppliers pay, and stop bribing the staff at kindergarten, schools, and hospitals.\nPutin has already announced significant liberalization of the election laws, among them the proposition to further lower the threshold for registering parties with nationwide status. (We will probably never see a similar liberalization of the corresponding US laws, a country where two parties share the eternal monopoly to power. Similar business monopolies are broken up by the anti-trust laws, why don’t apply the same principle to these parties that steal the vote in the USA). Thanks to the political reforms that the Government has announced all those competing opposition leaders will soon have a chance to form their own parties by way of collecting the signature from 500 friends instead of the 40,000 needed today. I admit that this is a display of Putin’s political genius. Then each of the much touted “opposition leaders” will have the chance to form their own private pocket parties. Let them compete!\nI predict that Putin will go down in history as one of the greatest leaders of all countries and all times.\nJon Hellevig, is a lawyer from Finland who has worked and lived in Russia since the beginning of 1990’s.

{"text": "The right move\nThe discovery of a giant transposable element may lead to breakthroughs in gene therapy\nNematodes, sea urchins and clawed frogs have something in common with the scrumptious Dover sole served up in pricey restaurants, and no sense making you guess. Their genomes are all full of Mavericks, a newly discovered, giant-sized transposable element.\nTransposable elements, or transposons, are mobile genetic elements that jump around in genomes. Biology Assistant Professor Ellen Pritham likens a genome to an ecosystem. Each chromosome is a distinct geographic locale teeming with populations of these mobile elements.\nIn science, the honor of naming goes to the discoverer. Because the bold and distinctive little movers were discovered at UT Arlington, Dr. Pritham and her husband, biology Assistant Professor Cédric Feschotte, named them after UT Arlington’s mascot.\nNearly every organism’s genome has active transposable elements. About half of the human genome is made up of these “jumping genes.” The transposon’s movement may or may not affect genes. If it does, the impact can be positive or it can lead to disease, including cancer.\n“Transposable elements are thought to have no function,” Pritham said. “They are just the baggage carried along by the genome.”\nShe and Dr. Feschotte were working on the genome of a disease-causing organism called Trichomonas vaginalis when they discovered the new group of mobile genetic elements.\n“One very distinctive feature is their size,” Pritham said. “You could safely say they are eight to 10 times bigger than any other mobile element ever reported. So big, in fact, that together they comprise one-third of the Trichomonas genome.”\nThe missing link?\nThe professors and undergraduate student Tasneem Putliwala published a journal article in the August 2006 issue of GENE that detailed how they used computational tools to pinpoint the presence of Mavericks in the genomes of animals as diverse as worms, beetles and fish and in the human parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, where they amount to more than 1,000 copies.\nWhile Mavericks do not inhabit the human genome, their presence in Trichomonas vaginalis is responsible for one of the most widespread sexually transmitted diseases worldwide, trichomoniasis.\n“What we learn about transposable elements in the genome of Trichomonas could help us understand how pathogens can change quickly and how they can become resistant to drugs and chemicals,” Pritham said.\nMavericks appear to be evolutionary and related to adenoviruses, which infect humans and other mammals and have been harnessed as a promising tool for gene therapy. Studying the way Mavericks move within the genome will likely give researchers much more information about adenovirus replication in humans. Pritham and Feschotte further hypothesize that Mavericks represent a missing evolutionary link between seemingly disparate invasive DNA elements such as adenoviruses, plasmids and bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria.\nThe first transposons were discovered in the 1940s by Barbara McClintock, the third woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. McClintock’s work on the structure, formation and function of cells (cytogenetics) of corn led her to theorize that genes can move around, an inference she drew by observing changing patterns of coloration in corn kernels.\nMany scientists gave little credence to the theory or thought it had no implications for anything but corn. Eventually, other scientists confirmed McClintock’s breakthrough and expanded her findings to many organisms. She received the Nobel Prize in 1983.\nResearch takes flight\nFeschotte and Pritham, who met at the University of Georgia and married in 2004, may be the only husband and wife team focused on transposon research. The partnership assures that work is not left behind at the end of the day. One evening they were sitting on the couch after dinner perusing a scientific journal when they read an article by a scientist identifying—incorrectly, they believed—a new family of genes.\n“We were up all night, identifying elements,” Pritham said. Turns out the researcher was indeed incorrect. The DNA sequences were not new genes, but part of giant and selfish mobile elements.\nLately, the duo’s research has focused on bats. In the Feb. 6 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they report on their latest discovery: the massive proliferation of rolling-circle transposons, or Helitrons, in a small brown bat, Myotis lucifugus, also called a vesper bat. Helitrons are another newly recognized group of transposable elements that previously had been identified only in the genomes of plants, invertebrates and zebrafish.\n“This is the first time that Helitrons were discovered in a mammalian genome,” Feschotte said. “This is exciting because these types of elements are known in plants to cause numerous chromosomal rearrangements and to shuffle genes around as they move within the genome.”\nPritham and Feschotte got to name those elements as well, christening them HeliBats. In their preliminary analysis of the bat genome sequence, they found an amazing quantity of HeliBats—more than 115,000 distinct copies, the largest number of Helitrons ever reported in any species. It was not an overnight invasion. Sequence divergence and cross-species analysis indicate that HeliBats have amplified within the last 30 million-36 million years and are restricted solely to the lineage of vesper bats.\nFeschotte said the mammalian transposable element landscape has been finely delineated for the genomes of humans, mice, rats and dogs. With graduate student John Pace, he recently established the first comprehensive catalog of human DNA transposons. The study published in the April issue of Genome Research shows that the human genomic landscape is rich in varied types of DNA transposons, but no Helitrons have been identified.\nFurthermore, only retrotransposons are known to be recently active in humans and rodents. There has been no evidence of any primate DNA transposons jumping within the last 50 million years. In contrast, Helitrons and many other DNA transposons have exploded in the vesper bat lineage.\nAmong mammals, only rodents are more speciose than bats. Among bats, the vesper has the largest number of species as well as the broadest geographic distribution.\n“The impact that HeliBats may have played in altering the genome organization and contributing to the extraordinary diversification of bats is a fascinating question that we are now actively pursuing,” Feschotte said.\nAnd one that may impact gene therapy.\n— Sue Stevens", "label": "No"}

{"text": "||Since the discovery of transparent conducting oxide (TCO) thin films，TCO has been widely used in optoelectronic devices. To increase the potential application of the TCO, this study aims at growing amorphous TCO thin films which possess visible transparency and high electric conductivity. Up to date, only IGZO exhibits these properties. However, the nature resource of indium, the main material in IGZO, is rare and expensive. In this study, searching for new materials that do not contain In, while manifest high transparent and conductivity is our major challenge. |\nZnO has an energy band gap of 3.4eV, for which visible photon does not have enough energy to excite the electron in ZnO from the valence band to conduction band. Therefore, it reveals itself as transparent. ZnO materials are relative stable in high temperature and chemical environments and thus a good candidate for been developed into amorphous TCO.\nThe reason for the high conductivity in amorphous IGZO thin films is because the S orbital of In is spherical symmetry and has large radius in which can overlap with the next In ions to form a continuous band for conduction. In this study, a similar strategy is employed by use of the large S orbital of the doping tin (Sn) in ZnO. A ceramic ZnO target for the pulse laser deposition system is partially wrapped with tin foil. The optimum growth condition are searching by tuning oxygen partial pressure, laser energy, the distance between the target and substrate, and substrate temperature.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "What is CHAOS?\nCHAOS, or Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome is a blockage of the fetus’s trachea (windpipe) or larynx (voice box). This obstruction can be due to a number of factors including narrowing of the airway (stenosis), a web-like membrane, or even an area of the trachea that is missing (atresia). While in the uterus the fetal lungs constantly produce fluid. As a result of this airway blockage in the trachea, the lung fluid cannot escape out of the fetal mouth. Because of this the fetus’s lungs become distended with fluid. Overdistention of the lungs can put pressure on the heart and effect the heart’s ability to function. If the heart cannot beat effectively hydrops (congestive heart failure) can occur.\nThe cause of CHAOS is currently unknown. It is a very rare condition and not thought to recur in families.\nWhat is the outcome for a fetus with CHAOS?\nThe outcome for a fetus with CHAOS depends greatly upon the type of malformation causing the obstruction. If the obstruction is minor, such as a thin tissue membrane covering the larynx, it may be correctable through minimal surgery before or after birth with no lasting complications. A complete blockage of the larynx, or a missing section of trachea is more serious. Babies born with this problem will not be able to breathe when they are born; as a result, require placement of a tracheostomy (breathing tube through the neck) after birth. Also multiple operations to correct the airway will be required after birth. There may also be problems with normal voice functioning, the ability to talk, or the ability to eat/drink by mouth. In more extreme cases of CHAOS where the lung swelling endangers the heart function, surgery before birth may be a treatment option.\nThe condition can also be complicated by the presence of other birth defects; thus, it is important to test for other abnormalities. These are done by testing the chromosomes of the fetus through amniocentesis and microarray, and also performing a cardiac echo to look more closely at the fetal heart structure and function.\nHow serious is fetus's condition?\nCHAOS is often a very serious and life-threatening condition. The severity depends partly on whether the blockage is complete. When the blockage is complete, the lungs can become hugely overdistended and can lead to hydrops fetalis (congestive heart failure); In order to determine the severity of the problem a number of tests are recommended.\nAccurate assessment requires four tests:\n- amniocentesis and/or microarray to assess the fetal chromosomes\n- a level II ultrasound to look for other anomalies and define the anatomy of the airway\n- a fetal echocardiogram to determine whether or not the fetus has an associated heart defect or if the function of the heart has been affected\n- an MRI to obtain an accurate picture of the airway and determine the level and length of the obstruction in the airway\nIf the chromosomes are normal, and there are no additional birth defects other than the CHAOS, the severity of the condition depends on the type of malformation causing the airway obstruction.\nWhat are my choices during this pregnancy?\nAfter your fetus’s condition is fully diagnosed through a formal evaluation, you will be presented with treatment options. In severe cases, where the fetus has hydrops (heart failure), surgery before birth to relieve the obstruction may be offered. Hydrops in the fetus is defined as the build up of excess fluid in the fetus. This extra fluid can be seen in the fetal abdomen, lungs, skin or scalp.\nIf there is no fetal hydrops, we recommend your delivery will be scheduled via EXIT (Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment) procedure. The EXIT Procedure is used in situations in which there is a known airway obstruction in the baby. The goal of the procedure is to deliver the baby in a controlled situation so that they are not deprived of oxygen, to minimize the chance of damage to the brain of the baby.\nThe goal with the EXIT procedure is to provide the baby with a functioning airway so that adequate oxygen can be delivered to the lungs after the baby is separated from placenta. The EXIT procedure is a planned, specialized delivery involving both the mother and the baby. It should only be performed at a hospital that has a team consisting of a pediatric surgeon, obstetrician, anesthesiologist, and neonatologist.The start of the procedure is conducted like a Cesarean section. However, unlike a Cesarean, the mother is put under general anesthesia in order to ensure that the uterus is completely relaxed.\nThe head of baby is delivered but the baby remains attached to the placenta. A pediatric surgeon uses a bronchoscope through the baby’s mouth to look more closely at the airway. Depending on the type of blockage the surgeon may then attempt to pass an endotracheal tube (tube through the baby’s mouth into the trachea) and give breaths to the baby. If this is successful, and oxygen is being delivered to the baby through the tube, the infant is delivered and the umbilical cord cut. If a tube cannot be passed from the mouth through the obstruction, the pediatric surgeon will need to place a tracheostomy tube through the neck directly into the trachea, bypassing the blockage. The surgeon will make an incision in the neck of the baby and place a tube below the level of the airway blockage. Once the tube is placed, and the surgeon is confident that it is functioning and can be used to deliver oxygen to the baby, the infant is delivered. Care of the infant is then provided by the Intensive Care Nursery team.\nWhat will happen after birth?\nTo provide a functioning airway your baby will likely be delivered via an EXIT procedure. After which, your baby will be brought to the Intensive Care Nursery for close observation and further assessment. Additional reconstructive surgeries may be required.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "by David Andrade, http://tinyurl.com/edtechguy\nThe future. What do our students really need to know and be able to do to succeed in future education and careers?\nContent is a part of what they need to know. Standardized tests test content knowledge and some skills. There are huge debates raging over standardized testing, curriculum, and the like. But what it is that students really need to know for the future. Hint: it isn’t all content.\nContent is important to a point. Having certain knowledge of facts and information helps us put things in context as we work and live. Content helps us evaluate other information we are working with. However, in today’s world of the web and smart phones, facts and content are less important. Students, and the workforce, need to know how to think critically, find and evaluate information, work in teams, communicate effectively, solve problems and apply knowledge and skills to new things and be able to learn on their own. These are some of the “21st Century Skills” that have been talked about for years. I agree that these are the most important skills and I feel that Project Based Learning is one of the best ways to teach these skills.\nI learned many of these skills in college because even 20 years ago, my school, WPI, understood these ideas. The WPI Plan is an excellent model of project based learning, core competencies, and needed skills. This base has allowed me to be successful as an engineer, and successfully transition to being an educator. It has also helped me to learn on my own.\nResearch by the Institute for the Future released in a report entitled “Future Work Skills 2020? shows that preparing for a specific career area based on content is difficult and, instead, people should be developing certain broad skills. These same skills are important for our students to learn. The report explains each of the skills in detail, and also goes into the implications for education and policies.\nHere are the skills:\nSense-making. The ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressed\nSocial intelligence. The ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactions\nNovel and adaptive thinking. Proficiency at thinking and coming up with solutions and responses beyond that which is rote or rule-based\nCross-cultural competency. The ability to operate in different cultural settings\nComputational thinking. The ability to translate vast amounts of data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoning\nNew-media literacy. The ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms and to leverage these media for persuasive communication\nTransdisciplinarity. Literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplines\nDesign mind-set. Ability to represent and develop tasks and work processes for desired outcomes\nCognitive load management. The ability to discriminate and filter information for importance and to understand how to maximize cognitive functioning using a variety of tools and techniques\nVirtual collaboration.

{"text": "With the right community service ideas and opportunities from pre-nursery to 12th, young people can move from developing an idea of self to an understanding of how they can help solve societal problems. This developmental process fosters empathy within a child and builds their identity as a responsible citizen of the future. It therefore becomes important for them to make social work/community service a habit and a way of life rather than something forced upon them. Research also shows empathy is a prime quality required in top leadership positions around the world.\nAt Vega we view social responsibility and resulting values as intrinsic to every child’s development. Engaging them actively from early childhood years will lead them to become proactive, mindful and productive citizens of the future. We believe that it is important for our learners to become self-reliant and mindful of their own environment & surroundings while thinking beyond themselves: their family and underprivileged & vulnerable communities as well.\nThis thinking feeds directly into Vega’s PBL pedagogy of taking a driving question, and thorough inquiry and innovation and using 21st-century skills of critical thinking & collaboration, create a product that can be used by those who need it.\nUnmukt is a voluntary organization formed by learners of grades III and V as a product of one of their projects in September 2018.\nThe idea of creating Unmukt was born from the thought by learners that all knowledge and understanding gained by them about core content of diseases, health, and hygiene, was futile if they could not apply it meaningfully and make a difference in the community. With this altruistic intent and unflinching spirit, they forged ahead and created Unmukt, developing their own vision, mission and goal statements.\nHowever, over time Unmukt expanded beyond a single project culmination.

At 13 years old each of them told her to drive the English from French territory.\nWhen Joan turned 16 has asked permission from a relative to visit the French Royal Court. Despite being laughed at, she returned the following January with two soldiers. She predicted a military reversal at the Battle of Rouvray near Orleans, which were confirmed several days later. When it was discovered that Joan could not have known that information it was believed to be Divine revelation and she gained the trust of the commander. For her own safety, she was escorted through hostile territory dressed as male soldier (which later led to charges of her cross dressing.)\nJoan arrived to Orleans and quickly turned the conflict into a religious war. In April 1429 upon concern that her claims of “doing Gods work” and how that could easily be twisted by their enemies, she was declared “a good Christian, possessed by the virtues of humility, honesty, and simplicity.”\nOn May 4, English troops approached the army to stop their advances but a cavalry charge turned them away without a fight.

{"text": "Landslide causes many social and economic losses in many parts of the world every year. These losses can be greatly reduced by using appropriate management measures such as mapping landslide susceptibility mapping in the basin.

First, a total of 208 cases of landslides identificated and geo-referenced using geographic information systems based on an interpretation of aerial photographs and extensive field surveys and provided a landslide inventory map. The map of 12 factors, including rainfall, land use, distance to fault, distance from river, distance from road, lithology, altitude, slope, aspect, plan curvature, Peak Ground Acceleration and topographic wetness index as the most important factors in landslides was prepared. Then the correlating each factor and the landslide was examined. Finally landslide susceptibility zoning map was provided based on the Mahalanobis distance in Latyan catchment. To evaluate the results, the ROC and chi-square tests were used. The results show more than 80 % of the catchment located in range of high and very high susceptibility classes and need to suitable management operations.

On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998 and is scheduled for completion by 2011. The station is expected to remain in operation until at least 2015, and likely 2020. With a greater mass than that of any previous space station, the ISS can be seen from the Earth with the naked eye, and, as of 2010, is the largest artificial satellite orbiting the Earth. The ISS serves as a research laboratory that has a microgravity environment in which crews conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy and meteorology. The station has a unique environment for the testing of the spacecraft systems that will be required for missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS is operated by Expedition crews, and has been continuously staffed since 2 November 2000, meaning the ISS programme has maintained an uninterrupted human presence in space for the past 9 years and 139 days, which is approaching the current record, set aboard Mir, of 9 years and 257 days. As of 18 March 2009 , the crew of Expedition 23 is aboard.\nThe ISS is a synthesis of several space station projects that includes the American Freedom, the Soviet/Russian Mir-2, the European Columbus and the Japanese Kibō. Budget constraints led to the merger of these projects into a single multi-national programme. The ISS project began in 1994 with the Shuttle-Mir programme, and the first module of the station, Zarya, was launched in 1998 by Russia. Assembly continues, as pressurised modules, external trusses and other components are launched by American space shuttles, Russian Proton rockets and Russian Soyuz rockets. As of November 2009, the station consisted of 11 pressurised modules and an extensive integrated truss structure (ITS). Power is provided by 16 solar arrays mounted on the external truss, in addition to four smaller arrays on the Russian modules. The station is maintained at an orbit between 278 km (173 mi) and 460 km (286 mi) altitude, and travels at an average speed of 27,724 km/h (17,227 mph), completing 15.7 orbits per day.\nOperated as a joint project between the five participant space agencies, the station's sections are controlled by mission control centres on the ground operated by the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and the European Space Agency (ESA). The ownership and use of the space station is established in intergovernmental treaties and agreements that allow the Russian Federation to retain full ownership of its own modules, with the remainder of the station allocated between the other international partners. The cost of the station has been estimated by ESA as €100 billion over 30 years, and, although estimates range from 35 billion dollars to 160 billion dollars, the ISS is believed to be the most expensive object ever constructed. The financing, research capabilities and technical design of the ISS programme have been criticised because of the high cost. The station is serviced by Soyuz spacecraft, Progress spacecraft, space shuttles, the Automated Transfer Vehicle and the H-II Transfer Vehicle, and has been visited by astronauts and cosmonauts from 15 different nations.\nThe International Space Station (ISS) is an internationally developed satellite currently being assembled in Low Earth Orbit. Primarily a research laboratory, the ISS offers an advantage over spacecraft such as NASA's Space Shuttle because it is a long-term platform in the space environment, where extended studies are conducted. The presence of a permanent crew affords the ability to monitor, replenish, repair, and replace experiments and components of the spacecraft itself. Scientists on Earth have swift access to the crew's data and can modify experiments or launch new ones, benefits generally unavailable on specialised unmanned spacecraft.\nCrews, who fly expeditions of several months' duration, conduct scientific experiments each day (approximately 160 man-hours a week). As of the conclusion of Expedition 15, 138 major science investigations had been conducted on the ISS. Scientific findings, in fields from basic science to exploration research, are published every month.\nThe ISS provides a location in the relative safety of Low Earth Orbit to test spacecraft systems that will be required for long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. This provides experience in the maintenance, repair, and replacement of systems on-orbit, which will be essential in operating spacecraft further from Earth. Mission risks are reduced, and the capabilities of interplanetary spacecraft are advanced.\nPart of the crew's mission is educational outreach and international cooperation. The crew of the ISS provide opportunities for students on Earth by running student-developed experiments, making educational demonstrations, and allowing for student participation in classroom versions of ISS experiments, NASA investigator experiments, and ISS engineering activities. The ISS programme itself, with the international cooperation that it represents, allows 14 nations to live and work together in space, providing lessons for future multi-national missions.\nThe ISS provides a platform to conduct experiments that require one or more of the unusual conditions present on the station. The primary fields of research include human research, space medicine, life sciences, physical sciences, astronomy and meteorology. The 2005 NASA Authorization Act designated the American segment of the International Space Station as a national laboratory with the goal of increasing the use of the ISS by other federal agencies and the private sector.\nResearch on the ISS improves knowledge about the effects of long-term space exposure on the human body. Subjects currently under study include muscle atrophy, bone loss, and fluid shift. The data will be used to determine whether space colonisation and lengthy human spaceflight are feasible. As of 2006, data on bone loss and muscular atrophy suggest that there would be a significant risk of fractures and movement problems if astronauts landed on a planet after a lengthy interplanetary cruise (such as the six-month journey time required to fly to Mars). Large scale medical studies are conducted aboard the ISS via the National Space and Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). Prominent among these is the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity study in which astronauts (including former ISS Commanders Leroy Chiao and Gennady Padalka) perform ultrasound scans under the guidance of remote experts. The study considers the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions in space. Usually, there is no physician onboard the ISS and diagnosis of medical conditions is a challenge. It is anticipated that remotely guided ultrasound scans will have application on Earth in emergency and rural care situations where access to a trained physician is difficult.\nResearchers are investigating the effect of the station's near-weightless environment on the evolution, development, growth and internal processes of plants and animals. In response to some of this data, NASA wants to investigate microgravity's effects on the growth of three-dimensional, human-like tissues, and the unusual protein crystals that can be formed in space.\nThe investigation of the physics of fluids in microgravity will allow researchers to model the behaviour of fluids better. Because fluids can be almost completely combined in microgravity, physicists investigate fluids that do not mix well on Earth. In addition, an examination of reactions that are slowed by low gravity and temperatures will give scientists a deeper understanding of superconductivity.\nThe study of materials science is an important ISS research activity, with the objective of reaping economic benefits through the improvement of techniques used on the ground. Other areas of interest include the effect of the low gravity environment on combustion, through the study of the efficiency of burning and control of emissions and pollutants. These findings may improve our knowledge about energy production, and lead to economic and environmental benefits. Future plans are for the researchers aboard the ISS to examine aerosols, ozone, water vapour, and oxides in Earth's atmosphere, as well as cosmic rays, cosmic dust, antimatter, and dark matter in the universe.\nFunded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), APEX-Cambium will help determine the role gravity plays in trees forming different kinds of wood.\nRadiation monitoring experiment is called EVARM and it was conducted in 2002 and 2003\nThe International Space Station represents a union of several national space station projects that originated during the Cold War. In the early 1980s, NASA planned to launch a modular space station called Freedom as a counterpart to the Soviet Salyut and Mir space stations, while the Soviets were planning to construct Mir-2 in the 1990s as a replacement for Mir. Because of budget and design constraints, Freedom never progressed past mock-ups and minor component tests.\nWith the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Space Race, Freedom was nearly cancelled by the United States House of Representatives. The post-Soviet economic chaos in Russia led to the cancellation of Mir-2, though only after its base block, DOS-8, had been constructed. Similar budgetary difficulties were faced by other nations with space station projects, which prompted the American government to negotiate with European states, Russia, Japan, and Canada in the early 1990s to begin a collaborative project.\nIn June 1992 American president George H. W. Bush and Russian president Boris Yeltsin agreed to cooperate on space exploration. The resulting Agreement between the United States of America and the Russian Federation Concerning Cooperation in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes called for a short, joint space programme, with one American astronaut deployed to the Russian space station Mir and two Russian cosmonauts deployed to a Space Shuttle.\nIn September 1993, American Vice-President Al Gore, Jr., and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin announced plans for a new space station, which eventually became the International Space Station. They also agreed, in preparation for this new project, that the United States would be heavily involved in the Mir programme as part of an agreement that later included Space Shuttle orbiters docking with Mir.\nAccording to the plan, the ISS programme would combine the proposed space stations of all participant agencies: NASA's Freedom, the RSA's Mir-2 (with DOS-8 later becoming Zvezda), ESA's Columbus, and the Japanese Kibō laboratory. When the first module, Zarya, was launched in 1998, the station was expected to be completed by 2003. Delays have led to a revised estimated completion date of 2011.\nThe assembly of the International Space Station, a major endeavour in space architecture, began in November 1998. Astronauts install each element using spacewalks. By 27 November 2009, they had completed 136, totalling 849 hours of extra-vehicular activity (EVA), all devoted to assembly and maintenance of the station. Twenty-eight of these spacewalks originated from the airlocks of docked Space Shuttles; the remaining 108 were launched from the station.\nThe first segment of the ISS, Zarya, was launched on 20 November 1998 on a Russian Proton rocket, followed two weeks later by Unity—the first of three node modules—which was launched aboard Space Shuttle flight STS-88. This bare two-module core of the ISS remained unmanned for the next one-and-a-half years. In July 2000 the Russian module Zvezda was added, allowing a maximum crew of three to occupy the ISS continuously. The first resident crew, Expedition 1, arrived in November 2000 on Soyuz TM-31, midway between the flights of STS-92 and STS-97. These two Space Shuttle flights each added segments of the station's Integrated Truss Structure, which provided the embryonic station with communications, guidance, electrical grounding (on Z1), and power via solar arrays located on the P6 truss.\nOver the next two years the station continued to expand. A Soyuz-U rocket delivered the Pirs docking compartment. The Space Shuttles Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour delivered the Destiny laboratory and Quest airlock, in addition to the station's main robot arm, the Canadarm2, and several more segments of the Integrated Truss Structure.\nThe expansion schedule was interrupted by the destruction of the Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-107 in 2003, with the resulting hiatus in the Space Shuttle programme halting station assembly until the launch of Discovery on STS-114 in 2005.\nThe official resumption of assembly was marked by the arrival of Atlantis, flying STS-115, which delivered the station's second set of solar arrays. Several more truss segments and a third set of arrays were delivered on STS-116, STS-117, and STS-118. As a result of the major expansion of the station's power-generating capabilities, more pressurised modules could be accommodated, and the Harmony node and Columbus European laboratory were added. These were followed shortly after by the first two components of Kibō, the Japanese Experiment Module. In March 2009, STS-119 completed the Integrated Truss Structure with the installation of the fourth and final set of solar arrays. The final section of Kibō was delivered in July 2009 on STS-127, and the third node, Tranquillity, in February 2010 during STS-130 by the Space Shuttle Endeavour, alongside the Cupola.\nAs of February 2010, the station consisted of thirteen pressurised modules and the complete Integrated Truss Structure. Still to be launched is the Pressurised Multipurpose Module Leonardo, the European Robotic Arm, two Russian modules and a number of external components, including the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02). Assembly is expected to be completed by 2011, by which point the station will have a mass in excess of 400 metric tons (440 short tons).\nWhen completed, the ISS will consist of sixteen pressurised modules with a combined volume of around 1,000 cubic metres (35,000 cu ft). These modules include laboratories, docking compartments, airlocks, nodes and living quarters. Thirteen of these components are already in orbit, with the remaining three awaiting launch. Each module was or will be launched either by the Space Shuttle, Proton rocket or Soyuz rocket.\n|Module||Assembly mission||Launch date||Launch system||Nation||Isolated View|\n|1A/R||20 November 1998||Proton-K||Russia (Builder)\n|The first component of the ISS to be launched, Zarya provided electrical power, storage, propulsion, and guidance during initial assembly.

Based on the current assembly schedule, the arrival of Nauka will complete construction of the Russian Orbital Segment and it will be the last major component added to the station.|\nSeveral modules planned for the station have been cancelled over the course of the ISS programme, whether for budgetary reasons, because the modules becoming unnecessary, or following a redesign of the station after the 2003 Columbia disaster. The cancelled modules include:\nIn addition to the pressurised modules, the ISS features a large number of external components. The largest component is the Integrated Truss Structure (ITS), to which the station's main solar arrays and thermal radiators are mounted. The ITS consists of ten separate segments forming a structure 108.5 m (356 ft) long.\nThe Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a particle physics experiment, is scheduled to be launched on STS-134 in 2010, and will be mounted externally on the ITS. The AMS will measure cosmic rays and look for evidence of dark matter and antimatter.\nThe ITS serves as a base for the main remote manipulator system called the Mobile Servicing System (MSS). This consists of the Mobile Base System (MBS), the Canadarm2, and the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator. The MBS rolls along rails built into some of the ITS segments to allow the arm to reach all parts of the US segment of the station. The MSS is due to have its reach increased by an Orbiter Boom Sensor System, due to be installed by STS-133.\nTwo other remote manipulator systems are present in the station's final configuration. The European Robotic Arm, which will service the Russian Orbital Segment, will be launched alongside the Multipurpose Laboratory Module; the JEM RMS, which services the JEM Exposed Facility, was launched on STS-124 and is attached to the JEM Pressurised Module. In addition to these robotic arms, there are two Russian Strela cargo cranes used for moving spacewalking cosmonauts and parts around the exterior of the Russian Orbital Segment.\nThe station in its complete form will have several smaller external components, such as the three External Stowage Platforms (ESPs), launched on STS-102, STS-114 and STS-118, which are used for storage of spare parts. Four ExPRESS Logistics Carriers (ELCs) will allow experiments to be deployed and conducted in the vacuum of space, and will provide the necessary electricity and computing to process experimental data locally. ELCs 1 and 2 were delivered on STS-129 in November 2009, and ELCs 3 and 4 are scheduled for delivery on STS-134 in July 2010 and STS-133 in September 2010. There are also two exposure facilities mounted directly to laboratory modules, the JEM Exposed Facility, which serves as an external 'porch' for the Japanese Experiment Module complex, and a facility on the European Columbus laboratory, which provides power and data connections for experiments such as the European Technology Exposure Facility and the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space.\nThe source of electrical power for the ISS is the sun. Sunlight is converted into electricity by solar arrays. The Russian segment of the station uses 28 volts DC (partly provided by four solar arrays mounted directly to Zarya and Zvezda), as does the space shuttle, but in the remainder of the station, electricity provided by the US solar arrays is distributed at a voltage ranging from 130 to 180 volts DC. These arrays are arranged as four pairs of wings, and each pair is capable of generating nearly 32.8 kW of DC power.\nPower is stabilised and distributed at 160 volts DC, and then is converted to the user-required 124 volts DC. The high-voltage distribution allows the use of small-diameter electrical cables and consequently reduces weight. Power can be shared between the two segments of the station using converters. The power sharing feature has become essential since the cancellation of the Russian Science Power Platform because the Russian Orbital Segment now depends on the US-built solar arrays for power.\nSince the station is often not in direct sunlight, it relies on rechargeable nickel-hydrogen batteries to provide continuous power for the 35 minutes of every 90 minute orbit during which it is eclipsed by the Earth. During the sunlit part of the orbit, the batteries are recharged. The batteries have a working life of 6.5 years, and they are expected to be replaced multiple times during the anticipated 20-year life of the station.\nThe US solar arrays normally track the sun to maximise power generation. Each array is about 375 m2 (450 yd2) in area and 58 metres (63 yd) long. In the complete configuration, the solar arrays track the sun in each orbit by rotating the alpha gimbal, while the beta gimbal adjusts for the angle of the sun from the orbital plane. Another tracking option, the Night Glider mode, which aligns the solar arrays edgewise to the direction of travel when the panels are in the Earth's shadow, is used to reduce the effects of the drag produced by the tenuous upper atmosphere, through which the station flies.\nThe ISS is maintained in a near circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 278 km (173 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (286 mi). It travels at an average speed of 27,724 kilometres (17,227 mi) per hour, and completes 15.7 orbits per day. The normal maximum altitude is 425 km (264 mi) to allow Soyuz rendezvous missions. As the ISS constantly loses altitude because of a slight atmospheric drag, it needs to be boosted to a higher altitude several times each year. This boost can be performed by either the station's two main engines on the Zvezda service module, a docked space shuttle, a Progress resupply vessel, or by ESA's ATV. It takes approximately two orbits (three hours) for the boost to a higher altitude to be completed.\nIn December 2008 NASA signed an agreement with the Ad Astra Rocket Company which may result in the testing on the ISS of a VASIMR plasma propulsion engine. This technology could allow station-keeping to be done more economically than at present.\nThe station's navigational position is established using the US Global Positioning System and Russian GLONASS system, with the attitude (orientation) of the station monitored by a set of sun, star and horizon sensors on Zvezda. Attitude is maintained by either of two mechanisms; normally, a system using several control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) keeps the station oriented, with Destiny forward of Unity, the P truss on the port side, and Pirs on the Earth-facing (nadir) side. When the CMG system becomes 'saturated'—when a CMG exceeds its operational range or cannot track a series of rapid movements—it can lose its ability to control station attitude. In this event, the Russian attitude control system is designed to take over automatically, using thrusters to maintain station attitude and allowing the CMG system to desaturate. This has only occurred once, during Expedition 10. When a space shuttle is docked to the station, it can also be used to maintain station attitude, a procedure that was used during STS-117 as the S3/S4 truss was installed.\nRadio communications provide telemetry and scientific data links between the station and Mission Control Centres. Radio links are also used during rendezvous and docking procedures and for audio and video communication between crewmembers, flight controllers and family members. As a result, the ISS is equipped with internal and external communication systems used for different purposes.\nThe Russian Orbital Segment communicates directly with the ground via the Lira antenna mounted to Zvezda. The Lira antenna also has the capability to use the Luch data relay satellite system. This system, used for communications with Mir, fell into disrepair during the 1990s, and as a result is no longer in use. However, two new Luch satellites—Luch-5A and Luch-5B—are planned for launch in 2011 to restore the operational capability of the system. The US Orbital Segment (USOS) makes use of two separate radio links mounted in the Z1 truss structure: the S band (used for audio) and Ku band (used for audio, video and data) systems. These transmissions are routed via the US Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) in geostationary orbit, which allows for almost continuous real-time communications with NASA's Mission Control Centre (MCC-H) in Houston. Data channels for the Canadarm2, European Columbus laboratory and Japanese Kibō modules are routed via the S band and Ku band systems, although the European Data Relay Satellite System and similar Japanese system will eventually complement the TDRSS in this role. Communications between modules are carried on an internal digital wireless network.\nUHF radio is used by astronauts and cosmonauts conducting EVAs. UHF is employed by other spacecraft that dock to or undock from the station, such as Soyuz, Progress, HTV, ATV and the Space Shuttle (except the shuttle also makes use of the S band and Ku band systems via TDRSS), to receive commands from Mission Control and ISS crewmembers. Automated spacecraft are fitted with their own communications equipment; the ATV uses a laser attached to the spacecraft and equipment attached to Zvezda, known as the Proximity Communications Equipment, to accurately dock to the station.\nAt the station's orbital altitude, the gravity from the Earth is 88% of that at sea level. The state of weightlessness is caused by the constant free fall of the ISS, which, because of the equivalence principle, is indiscernible from a state of zero gravity. The environment on the station is, however, often described as microgravity, as the weightlessness is imperfect. This is caused by four separate effects:\nThe ISS Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) provides or controls atmospheric pressure, fire detection and suppression, oxygen levels, waste management and water supply. The highest priority for the ECLSS is the ISS atmosphere, but the system also collects, processes, and stores waste and water produced and used by the crew—a process that recycles fluid from the sink, shower, toilet, and condensation from the air. The Elektron system aboard Zvezda and a similar system in Destiny generate oxygen aboard the station. The crew has a backup option in the form of bottled oxygen and Solid Fuel Oxygen Generation (SFOG) canisters. Carbon dioxide is removed from the air by the Vozdukh system in Zvezda. Other by-products of human metabolism, such as methane from the intestines and ammonia from sweat, are removed by activated charcoal filters.\nThe atmosphere on board the ISS is similar to the Earth's. Normal air pressure on the ISS is 101.3 kPa (14.7 psi); the same as at sea level on Earth. An Earth-like atmosphere offers benefits for crew comfort, and is much safer than the alternative, a pure oxygen atmosphere, because of the increased risk of a fire such as that responsible for the deaths of the Apollo 1 crew.\nBecause of the size of the ISS (about that of an American football field) and the large reflective area offered by its solar panels, ground based observation of the station is possible with the naked eye if the observer is in the right location at the right time. In many cases, the station is one of the brightest naked-eye objects in the sky, although it is visible only for periods ranging from two to five minutes.\nTo view the station, the following conditions need to be fulfilled, assuming the weather is clear: The station must be above the observer's horizon, and it must pass within about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) of the observation site (the closer the better). It must be dark enough at the observer's location for stars to be visible, and the station must be in sunlight rather than in the Earth's shadow. It is common for the third condition to begin or end during what would otherwise be a good viewing opportunity. In the evening, as the station moves further from the dusk, going from west to east it will appear to suddenly fade and disappear. In the reverse situation, it may suddenly appear in the sky as it approaches the dawn.\nThe station has now become bright enough to be seen during the day under certain conditions.\nThe ISS is a joint project of several space agencies: the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA).\nAs a multinational project, the legal and financial aspects are complex. Issues of concern include the ownership of modules, station utilisation by participant nations, and responsibilities for station resupply. Obligations and rights are established by the Space Station Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). This international treaty was signed on 28 January 1998 by the primary nations involved in the Space Station project; the United States of America, Russian Federation, Japan, Canada and ten member states of the European Space Agency (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland). A second layer of agreements was then achieved, called Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), between NASA and ESA, CSA, RKA and JAXA. These agreements are then further split, such as for the contractual obligations between nations, and trading of partners' rights and obligations. Use of the Russian Orbital Segment is also negotiated at this level.\nIn addition to these main intergovernmental agreements, Brazil joins as a bilateral partner of the United States by a contract with NASA to supply hardware. In return, NASA will provide Brazil with access to its ISS facilities on-orbit, as well as a flight opportunity for one Brazilian astronaut during the course of the ISS programme. Italy has a similar contract with NASA to provide comparable services, although Italy also takes part in the programme directly via its membership in ESA. China has reportedly expressed interest in the project, especially if it would be able to work with the RKA. However, as of 2009 China is not involved because of US objections.\nThe Russian part of the station is operated and controlled by the Russian Federation's space agency and provides Russia with the right to nearly one-half of the crew time for the ISS. The allocation of remaining crew time (three to four crew members of the total permanent crew of six) and hardware within the other sections of the station has been assigned as follows:\nThe cost estimates for the ISS range from 35 billion to 160 billion dollars. ESA, the one agency which actually presents potential overall costs, estimates €100 billion for the entire station over 30 years. A precise cost estimate for the ISS is unclear, as it is difficult to determine which costs should be attributed to the ISS programme, or how the Russian contribution should be measured.\nCritics of the ISS contend that the time and money spent on the ISS could be better spent on other projects—whether they be robotic spacecraft missions, space exploration, investigations of problems on Earth, or just tax savings. Some critics, such as Robert L. Park, argue that little scientific research was convincingly planned for the ISS, and that the primary feature of a space-based laboratory, its microgravity environment, can be studied less expensively with a \"vomit comet\".\nThe research capabilities of the ISS have been criticised, particularly following the cancellation of the ambitious Centrifuge Accommodations Module, which, alongside other equipment cancellations, means research done on the ISS is generally limited to experiments which do not require any specialised apparatus. For example, in the first half of 2007, ISS research dealt primarily with human biological responses to living and working in space, covering topics like kidney stones, circadian rhythm, and the effects of cosmic rays on the nervous system. Other criticisms hinge on the technical design of the ISS, including the high inclination of the station's orbit, which leads to a higher cost for US-based launches to the station.\nIn response to some of these comments, advocates of manned space exploration say that criticism of the ISS project is short-sighted, and that manned space research and exploration have produced billions of dollars' worth of benefits. NASA has estimated that the indirect economic return from spin-offs of human space exploration has been many times the initial public investment, although this estimate is based on the Apollo programme and was made in the 1970s. A review of the claims by the Federation of American Scientists argued that NASA's rate of return from spin-offs is actually very low, except for aeronautics work that has led to aircraft sales.\nNASA currently plans to deorbit the ISS in the first quarter of 2016. However, the plan to end the ISS programme in 2015, as determined in 2004 by then-President George W. Bush, has been rejected by the current Obama administration. With the new budget announced on 1 February 2010, the administration aims to extend the lifetime through 2020. Current NASA administrator Charles Bolden has stated the lifetime of the ISS will be extended beyond 2016, the year that international funding for the station is planned to end. The Augustine Commission, which reviewed NASA's human space flight program, recommended in its final report of 23 October 2009 the extension of the ISS programme to at least 2020. In particular, Leroy Chiao, a former space station commander and space shuttle astronaut who sat on the advisory panel, stated in a CNN interview: “You've got all of these different countries working together on this common project in space. And if we go ahead and stop [...] it's going to break up that framework. The different countries around the world will lose confidence in the US as a leader in space exploration.\" NASA officials received confirmation from the Obama administration on the future direction of the ISS in particular and the human spaceflight programme in general on 1 February 2010, with a budget proposing an extension to the ISS programme until at least 2020, with talks between ISS partners suggesting that the station could conceivably remain operational until 2028.\nNASA has the responsibility to deorbit the ISS. Although Zvezda has a propulsion system used for station-keeping, it is not powerful enough for a controlled deorbit. Options for controlled deorbit of the ISS include the use of a modified European Automated Transfer Vehicle or a specially constructed deorbit vehicle.\nAccording to a 2009 report, RKK Energia is considering methods to remove from the station some modules of the Russian Orbital Segment when the end of mission is reached and use them as a basis for a new station, known as the Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex. The modules under consideration for removal from the current ISS include the Multipurpose Laboratory Module (MLM), currently scheduled to be launched at the end of 2011, with other Russian modules which are currently planned to be attached to the MLM until 2015, although still currently unfunded. Neither the MLM nor any additional modules attached to it would have reached the end of their useful lives in 2016 or 2020. The report presents a statement from an unnamed Russian engineer who believes that, based on the experience from Mir, a thirty-year life should be possible, except for micrometeorite damage, because the Russian modules have been built with on-orbit refurbishment in mind.\nThe time zone used on board the ISS is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also called GMT). The windows are covered at night hours to give the impression of darkness because the station experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. During visiting space shuttle missions, the ISS crew will mostly follow the shuttle's Mission Elapsed Time (MET), which is a flexible time zone based on the launch time of the shuttle mission. Because the sleeping periods between the UTC time zone and the MET usually differ, the ISS crew often has to adjust its sleeping pattern before the space shuttle arrives and after it leaves to shift from one time zone to the other in a practice known as sleep shifting.\nA typical day for the crew begins with a wake-up at 06:00, followed by post-sleep activities and a morning inspection of the station. The crew then eats breakfast and takes part in a daily planning conference with Mission Control before starting work at around 08:10. The first scheduled exercise of the day follows, after which the crew continues work until 13:05. Following a one-hour lunch break, the afternoon consists of more exercise and work before the crew carries out its pre-sleep activities beginning at 19:30, including dinner and a crew conference. The scheduled sleep period begins at 21:30. In general, the crew works 10 hours per day on a weekday, and 5 hours on Saturdays, with the rest of the time their own for relaxation, games or work catch-up.\nThe station provides crew quarters for each member of permanent Expedition crews, with two 'sleep stations' in the Russian Orbital Segment and four more, due to be installed in Tranquillity, currently spread around the US Orbital Segment. The American quarters are private, approximately person-sized soundproof booths. A crewmember can sleep in them in a tethered sleeping bag, listen to music, use a laptop, and store personal effects in a large drawer or in nets attached to the module's walls. The module also provides a reading lamp, a shelf and a desktop. Visiting crews have no allocated sleep module, and attach a sleeping bag to an available space on a wall—it is possible to sleep floating freely through the station, but this is generally avoided because of the possibility of bumping into sensitive equipment. It is important that crew accommodations are well ventilated. Otherwise, astronauts can wake up oxygen deprived and gasping for air, because a bubble of their own exhaled carbon dioxide has formed around their heads.\nThe ISS does not feature a shower, although it was planned as part of the now cancelled Habitation Module. Instead, crewmembers wash using a water jet and wet wipes, with soap dispensed from a toothpaste tube-like container. Crews are also provided with rinseless shampoo and edible toothpaste to save water.\nThere are two space toilets on the ISS, both of Russian design, located in Zvezda and Destiny. These Waste and Hygiene Compartments use a fan-driven suction system similar to the Space Shuttle Waste Collection System. Astronauts first fasten themselves to the toilet seat, which is equipped with spring-loaded restraining bars to ensure a good seal. A lever operates a powerful fan and a suction hole slides open: the air stream carries the waste away. Solid waste is collected in individual bags which are stored in an aluminium container. Full containers are transferred to Progress spacecraft for disposal. Liquid waste is evacuated by a hose connected to the front of the toilet, with anatomically correct “urine funnel adapters” attached to the tube so both men and women can use the same toilet. Waste is collected and transferred to the Water Recovery System, where it is recycled back into drinking water.\nMost of the food eaten by station crews is frozen, refrigerated or canned. Menus are prepared by the astronauts, with the help of a dietitian, before the astronauts' flight to the station. As the sense of taste is reduced in orbit because of fluid shifting to the head, spicy food is a favourite of many crews. Each crewmember has individual food packages and cooks them using the onboard galley, which features two food warmers, a refrigerator, and a water dispenser that provides both heated and unheated water. Drinks are provided in dehydrated powder form, and are mixed with water before consumption. Drinks and soups are sipped from plastic bags with straws, while solid food is eaten with a knife and fork, which are attached to a tray with magnets to prevent them floating away. Any food which does float away, including crumbs, must be collected to prevent it clogging up the station's air filters and other equipment.\nThe most significant adverse effects of long-term weightlessness are muscle atrophy and deterioration of the skeleton, or spaceflight osteopenia. Other significant effects include fluid redistribution, a slowing of the cardiovascular system, decreased production of red blood cells, balance disorders, and a weakening of the immune system. Lesser symptoms include loss of body mass, nasal congestion, sleep disturbance, excess flatulence, and puffiness of the face. These effects begin to reverse quickly upon return to the Earth.\nTo prevent some of these adverse physiological effects, the station is equipped with two treadmills (including the COLBERT) and a stationary bicycle; each astronaut spends at least two hours per day exercising on the equipment. Astronauts use bungee cords to strap themselves to the treadmill. Researchers believe that exercise is a good countermeasure for the bone and muscle density loss that occurs when humans live for a long time without gravity.\nEach permanent station crew is given a sequential expedition number. Expeditions have an average duration of half a year, and they commence following the official handover of the station from one Expedition commander to another. Expeditions 1 through 6 consisted of three person crews, but the Columbia accident led to a reduction to two crew members for Expeditions 7 to 12. Expedition 13 saw the restoration of the station crew to three, and the station has been permanently staffed as such since. While only three crew members are permanently on the station, several expeditions, such as Expedition 16, have consisted of up to six astronauts or cosmonauts, who are flown to and from the station on separate flights.\nOn 27 May 2009, Expedition 20 began. Expedition 20 was the first ISS crew of six. Before the expansion of the living volume and capabilities from STS-115 the station could only host a crew of three. Expedition 20's crew was lifted to the station in two separate Soyuz-TMA flights launched at two different times (each Soyuz-TMA can hold only three people): Soyuz TMA-14 on 26 March 2009 and Soyuz TMA-15 on 27 May 2009. However, the station would not be permanently occupied by six crew members all year. For example, when the Expedition 20 crew (Roman Romanenko, Frank De Winne and Bob Thirsk) returned to Earth in November 2009, for a period of about two weeks only two crew members (Jeff Williams and Max Surayev) were aboard. This increased to five in early December, when another Soyuz, carrying Oleg Kotov, Timothy Creamer and Soichi Noguchi arrived. It will then decrease to three when Williams and Surayev depart in March 2010, returning to six in April 2010 with the launch of the next three-person Soyuz.\nThe International Space Station is the most-visited spacecraft in the history of space flight. As of 24 November 2009 , it had had 266 visitors (185 different people). Mir had 137 visitors (104 people).\nSpacecraft from four different space agencies visit the ISS, serving a variety of purposes. The Automated Transfer Vehicle from the European Space Agency, the Russian Roskosmos Progress spacecraft and the H-II Transfer Vehicle from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have provided resupply services to the station. In addition, Russia supplies a Soyuz spacecraft used for crew rotation and emergency evacuation, which is replaced every six months. Finally, the US services the ISS through its Space Shuttle programme, providing resupply missions, assembly and logistics flights, and crew rotation. As of 27 November 2009 , there have been 20 Soyuz, 35 Progress, 1 ATV, 1 HTV and 31 Space Shuttle flights to the station. Expeditions require, on average, 2,722 kg of supplies, and as of 27 November 2009 , crews had consumed a total of around 19,000 meals. Soyuz crew rotation flights and Progress resupply flights visit the station on average two and three times respectively each year, with the ATV and HTV planned to visit annually from 2010 onwards.\nAs of 18 March 2010, there are three spacecraft docked with the ISS:\nThe components of the ISS are operated and monitored by their respective space agencies at control centres across the globe, including:\nAt the low altitudes at which the ISS orbits there is a variety of space debris, consisting of everything from entire spent rocket stages and defunct satellites, to explosion fragments, paint flakes, slag from solid rocket motors, coolant released by RORSAT nuclear powered satellites, small needles, and many other objects. These objects, in addition to natural micrometeoroids, pose a threat to the station as they have the ability to puncture the pressurised modules and cause damage to other parts of the station. Micrometeoroids also pose a risk to spacewalking astronauts, as such objects could puncture their spacesuits, causing them to depressurise.\nSpace debris objects are tracked remotely from the ground, and the station crew can be notified of any objects with sufficient size to cause damage on impact. This allows for a Debris Avoidance Manoeuvre (DAM) to be conducted, which uses thrusters on the Russian Orbital Segment to alter the station's orbital altitude, avoiding the debris. DAMs are not uncommon, taking place if computational models show the debris will approach within a certain threat distance. Eight DAMs had been performed prior to March 2009, the first seven between October 1999 and May 2003. Usually the orbit is raised by one or two kilometres by means of an increase in orbital velocity of the order of 1 m/s. Unusually there was a lowering of 1.7 km  on 27 August 2008, the first such lowering for 8 years.  There were two DAMs in 2009 : 22 March and 17 July. If a threat from orbital debris is identified too late for a DAM to be safely conducted, the station crew close all the hatches aboard the station and retreat into their Soyuz spacecraft, so that they would be able to evacuate in the event it was damaged by the debris. This partial station evacuation has occurred twice, on 6 April 2003 and 13 March 2009.\nWithout the protection of the Earth's atmosphere, astronauts are exposed to higher levels of radiation from a steady flux of cosmic rays. The station's crews are exposed to about 1 millisievert of radiation each day, which is about the same as someone would get from natural sources on Earth in a year. This results in a higher risk of astronauts' developing cancer. High levels of radiation can cause damage to the chromosomes of lymphocytes. These cells are central to the immune system and so any damage to them could contribute to the lowered immunity experienced by astronauts. Over time lowered immunity results in the spread of infection between crew members, especially in such confined areas. Radiation has also been linked to a higher incidence of cataracts in astronauts. Protective shielding and protective drugs may lower the risks to an acceptable level, but data is scarce and longer-term exposure will result in greater risks.\nDespite efforts to improve radiation shielding on the ISS compared to previous stations such as Mir, radiation levels within the station have not been vastly reduced, and it is thought that further technological advancement will be required to make long-duration human spaceflight further into the Solar System a possibility.\nThe International Space Station (ISS) is a space station being built in space. The station is a joint project among several entities: the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. Other nations such as Brazil, Italy, and China also work with the ISS through cooperation with other countries.\nBuilding the ISS began in 1998, when a Russian and American module were connected with each other.\nIn the early 1980s, NASA planned Space Station Freedom as a counterpart to the Soviet Salyut and Mir space stations. It never left the drawing board and, with the end of the Soviet Union and the Cold War, it was cancelled. The end of the Space race prompted the U.S. administration officials to start negotiations with international partners Europe, Russia, Japan and Canada in the early 1990s in order to build a truly international space station. This project was first announced in 1993 and was called Space Station Alpha. It was planned to combine the proposed space stations of all participating space agencies: NASA's Space Station Freedom, Russia's Mir-2 (the successor to the Mir Space Station, the core of which is now Zvezda) and ESA's Columbus that was planned to be a stand-alone spacelab.\nThe first section, the Zarya Functional Cargo Block, was put in orbit in November 1998 on a Russian Proton rocket. Two further pieces (the Unity Module and Zvezda service module) were added before the first crew, Expedition 1, was sent. Expedition 1 docked to the ISS on November 2, 2000, and consisted of U.S. astronaut William Shepherd and two Russian cosmonauts, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev. The new section of the ISS has been named after the astronaut who started it all Maximum Ride. This was announced at 5:13pm Tuesday 5th May, 2009.\nThe scientists living in the space station have to get used to all kinds of changes from life on Earth. It takes them only 90 minutes to orbit (go around) the earth, so the sun looks as if it's rising and setting every 45 minutes. This can be pretty confusing, especially when you are trying to decide when you should go to bed! The astronauts try to keep a 24-hour-schedule anyway.\nWhen it really is bedtime, they have to sleep in sleeping bags that are stuck to the wall. They have tothemselves inside so they will not float away in the middle of a nice dream.\nIn space there is no gravity (this is called zero gravity). To help prepare astronauts experience zero gravity, NASA trainers put the astronauts in the water. Because water makes you float, this is a little like experiencing no gravity. However, in water you can push against the water and move around. In zero gravity, there's nothing to push against, so you just float in the air. Another way of training is going in a plane and making the plane fall to earth very quickly. This lets people experience zero gravity for a very short time. This training can make people quite sick at first.\nSince in zero gravity, the astronauts do not use their legs very much, they need to get lots of exercise to keep them from becoming too weak (without gravity, astronauts can get big upper bodies and skinny legs. This is called chicken-leg syndrome). Lots of exercise is needed to keep the astronauts healthy every day.\nEating in space style is pretty hard, too! Water and other liquids do not flow down in space, so if you spilled some milk in a space station, the milk would float around everywhere! Liquids ruin electric equipment, so astronauts have to be very careful in space. They drink by sucking water out of a bag, or from a tube stuck to the wall. They can not put their food on plates because it would just float right off, so they put it in pouches and eat from the pouches. The food is usually dried, because crumbs are very messy things that can ruin the equipment.\nSometimes fresh fruits and vegetables are sent up to the astronauts, but it is very expensive and hard to send it, so they have to prepare a lot of food before they go.\nUsing the Bathroom in Space\nActually, in space, the bathroom should probably be called the restroom instead, because you really can not take baths there. Instead, astronauts use squirt guns to take a shower! One person squirts himself with a gun while other people stand outside with a water vacuum to get rid of all the water that floats out of the shower. This is quite hard, so astronauts usually just take a \"sponge bath\" with a wet cloth.\nToilets can be another problem. Toilets are supposed to use gravity to work. When you flush the toilet, gravity makes the water go down. Since there is no gravity in space, the toilet must be attached to the astronauts and gently away all their waste. \n|Error creating thumbnail: sh: convert: command not found|", "label": "No"}

{"text": "عنوان مقاله [English]\nStudy on the citizen satisfaction regarding public services and municipality activities has widely developed. Because the results of such studies are very important in order to identify services for budgeting and planning managers.\nThe use of citizen satisfaction studies to assess the performance of public services has increased significantly in recent years. Studies on citizenship satisfaction are rooted in recent decades later, from 2005 to 2010, many studies were conducted on citizen satisfaction with the increasing development of urbanization. These studies are still ongoing around the world due to the growing population of urban areas and the annual development of cities. Citizens' satisfaction with public services has been a constant concern in public sector innovation innovation in urban management organizations such as municipalities. It has also been clearly proven that there is a significant direct relationship between people's satisfaction with municipal services and their trust in the government. The semantic burden of public service quality varies with satisfaction. Service quality has an objective, measurable and cognitive meaning, while satisfaction is a mental element based on emotions and passivity. The quality of services is measured by the shape, size and manner of access. Citizens' satisfaction with the city environment and the services provided by the municipality, it is an important factor in motivating people to participate in urban development and improve the quality of their housing. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of citizen satisfaction with municipal services with emphasis on the urban environment.\nIn this regard, first, the indicators and factors for measuring citizen satisfaction were identified using focus group interviews. This research is applied and developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of research method and is quantitative in nature. The theoretical framework was developed using the library method and literature review. Data collection tools were a centralized group interview and a researcher-made semi-structured questionnaire. For this purpose, in order to identify the important factors in measuring citizen satisfaction with the services of Kordkoy Municipality, a focus group interview was conducted with a group of local people as well as experienced experts. 24 factors were finally identified and finalized as factors of citizen satisfaction in 4 indicators. Then, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed with closed and semi-closed items In the first part, the individual characteristics of the respondents such as age, gender, education and occupation were examined, and in the second part, the satisfaction criteria of individuals with very few to very many options were examined. Then, by Yaman method, a number of samples of the population of Kordkoy family were identified. After approval, the questionnaire was completed using Cronbach's alpha test with 30 pre-test questionnaires among citizens. Finally, data analysis was performed in SPSS software.\nThis study showed that among the 24 factors identified in the indicators of aesthetics, urban infrastructure, and environment and educational-cultural, citizens were less satisfied with 21 factors. Also, a significant difference was observed between the group mean of satisfied and unsatisfied citizens (p <0.05). Citizens' personal characteristics had a significant effect on their satisfaction with municipal activities and public services and education and age showed a significant effect (p <0.05). The results of a descriptive test showed the attitude of the citizens of Kordkoy city towards different municipal services The highest satisfaction was found in the factors of \"firefighting speed and relief assistance, warnings and provision of safety services\" and \"cleaning and garbage collection in the city\" with a group average of 3.483 and 3.406, respectively. And the lowest level of satisfaction regarding \"the situation of eradication of vermin and dealing with stray dogs\" and \"sanitary services in the city and high-traffic areas\" were with group averages of 2.032 and 2.271, respectively. Also, comparing the average of two groups with satisfaction and dissatisfaction with municipal services, the results of the binomial test showed. There was a significant difference between the two groups regarding 21 factors in all these disputes, citizens were dissatisfied with the services (P <0.05). People with less than a diploma have the highest level of satisfaction and people with a master's degree or higher have the lowest level of satisfaction with municipal services. There was also a significant difference between classes in terms of satisfaction (p <0.05). As the results of this study show, Citizens of Kordkoy in Golestan province were lowly satisfied with the current situation in the city. The results of the study showed Of the 24 factors studied, only about two factors, the number of citizens were more satisfied than citizens without satisfaction In these cases, too, the percentage of people was very small Citizens were satisfied with 52% of dissatisfied citizens with the factor of \"cleaning and garbage collection in the city\" (which also had the highest average satisfaction ratings). Numerous studies have shown citizens' dissatisfaction with public services and urban activities. Urban management strategies should be reviewed and determined based on the status of each different and purposeful city. In general, it was found that the individual characteristics of citizens affect their satisfaction with various factors. Urban management strategies should be reviewed and determined based on the status of each different and purposeful city. In general, it was found that the individual characteristics of citizens affect their satisfaction with various factors. The results of his study showed that personal characteristics had an effective role on citizen satisfaction. It was further found that the variables of education and age have a significant role in the level of citizens' satisfaction and a significant negative correlation was observed between citizen satisfaction and education level. Some studies in the world and in Iran have shown similar results to this study. The level of participation, awareness and learning about municipal activities and successes in the field of urban development, it can increase urban satisfaction.\nIn general it should be stated In order to be aware of the desirability and quality of its activities and performance results in complex and dynamic urban environments, urban management needs to establish appropriate performance appraisal systems to achieve competitive advantage. Because the lack of such a system means not communicating with the internal and external environment of the urban system In that internal part, it can include public services and municipal activities and citizens' satisfaction And ultimately leads to the death of public trust and the dynamism of society One of the main outcomes is migration and lack of belonging to the place of residence. In order to apply the results of this study in order to improve urban management and planning in Kordkoy city, first, citizens who are dissatisfied with municipal services can be identified according to age and educational classes of this study. And then for the target group, determined appropriate strategies to improve the situation of municipal services in the field of higher priority factors.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "‘Brain Drain’ is a process where a worker of any given skill migrates from a developing country to a developed country and receives a higher wage with the same skill set. This phenomenon is an important implication of a theory of economic development called “O-Ring Theory by Michael Kremer”. Kremer’s O-Ring Theory (1993) explains the existence of poverty trap and the reason behind this low-income equilibrium trap that a country is caught in. This model is named after the “Challenger” spaceship disaster in 1986, in which the failure of one small, inexpensive ring-shaped part caused the space shuttle to explode (Todaro, 2015). It proposes that tasks of production must be executed proficiently together in order for any of them to be of high value, which means people with similar skill levels have to work together for development. This means, brain drain hinders development.\nThe main cause of brain drain is sustainable poverty. Developing countries lose educated, talented and high-skilled labor force. There are some push factors and pull factors behind this. Low-paying jobs, poor working conditions, political instability, lack of freedom, employment discrimination, underdevelopment of the home economy are the push factors while better quality of life, high-paying jobs, social security, modernized education, prestige in the foreign country are the pull factors.\nSince the home country is still a developing one and the foreign country is developed, the home country loses its human capital due to brain drain. This affects the economy by limiting economic growth, loss of entrepreneurship and tax revenue, shortage of important workers, loss of education expenditure and services etc. Though brain drain may imply an increase in remittance earning, the above disadvantages hinder the economic development of the home country.\n‘Brain gain’ is a new concept compared to its opposite, discussed above. A large number of educated migrants in developed countries are moving back to their home country. A negative side of this process can be explained with the help of the False-Paradigm Model that says, developing countries have failed to develop because their development strategies (usually given to them by western economists) have been based on an incorrect model of development (Todaro, 2015). Due to brain gain, university intellectuals, and high-level government economists get their training from institutions in developed countries. They learn about models that are inapplicable to their home country, which is a developing one. The models need proper modification to be applicable in developing countries. Although brain gain is considered advantageous for emerging economies, the model mismatch can result in issues in the long run. For example, Moghbazar flyover of Dhaka city was mistakenly designed for left-hand driving, when, in Bangladesh, roads are made for right-hand driving (Dhaka Tribune, 2017). But still, attracting qualified and trained people working or learning abroad back to their home country is more important for our development.\nBrain drain and brain gain are closely related to skills, training and migration. We can explain ‘Brain Drain’ as gathering the skillset from the home country and working in a foreign country and ‘Brain Gain’ as gathering of skills in the foreign country and returning to the home country for work.\nTherefore, there must be a skill mismatch in the job sector in the home country. We lack proper jobs for high-skilled labor (cause of Brain Drain) and we do not have a proper education system to provide certain high-level skills (initial cause of Brain Gain). Only reforms in the system of education and employment can solve this mismatched puzzle.\nWe can conclude that both Brain Drain and Brain Gain have some positive and negative effects on an emerging economy. But the loss due to brain drain is more hazardous for a country like Bangladesh while brain gain is equally important for development despite having some negative consequences.\n1.

{"text": "Throughout the 19th century surgery was an important form of treatment of diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). In fact, modern thoracic surgery was developed mainly with the escalating increase of indications for the surgical treatment of pulmonary TB between World Wars I and II. Up until 1930 the therapeutic approach to pulmonary TB consisted basically of isolated bed rest in a healthy climate. Patients spent years in sanatoriums waiting for cure.\nSurgical procedures were then conceived and performed by physicians, often themselves former TB patients, who tried to break away from the frustrating passivity of bed rest (1). The main purpose of these procedures was collapsing regions of the lungs that contained cavitary lesions with the hope of reducing the availability of oxygen to the aerobic mycobacteria. Examples of collapse therapy included thoracoplasty, plombage, pneumothorax, pneumoperitoneum, and phrenic nerve crush (2). Surgical resection of the diseased area of the lung was also attempted in the era prior to antibiotic chemotherapy. However, this form of surgical treatment was received with skepticism and most thoracic surgeons still favored collapse therapy as the primary form of treatment for pulmonary TB.\nWith the advent of streptomycin in 1944 and later the use of isoniazid, chemotherapy became the gold standard in the treatment of TB, with cure being achieved in most patients. Soon surgery became superfluous as a primary form of therapy and basically used in the treatment of sequelae of the disease and complications of previous procedures (3). Interest in surgical treatment for TB has resurged due to the development of strains of M. tuberculosis that are resistant to many or all of the first-line agents.\nMultidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB)\nMDRTB refers to Mycobacterium TB strains with in vitro resistance to the two most effective anti-TB drugs, isoniazid and rifampin. In fact the World Health Organization has defined many forms of drug resistance to address this problem (4).\nDespite the singularities of each classification, drug resistance has become a major challenge in TB control, with high relapse and treatment failure rates that lead to development of further resistance. There’s little randomized control trials on the medical treatment of MDRTB (5) and the limited number of second line drugs available makes treatment more costly and associated with more adverse events.\nSince individualized treatment regimens appear to have higher treatment success than standardised regimens, chemotherapy for MDRTB requires assessment of the history of treatment as well as meticulous laboratory studies to characterize susceptibility of the specific strain (6). Even with the best therapeutic options available MDRTB is still regarded as having a poor prognosis and most studies show treatment success estimates at around 40% to 60% (7,8).\nSurgical resection of diseased areas of the lungs has therefore been tried as an adjuvant therapy in MDRTB. The rationale behind this form of treatment is to remove segments of the lungs containing high concentrations of drug resistant bacilli as reducing the population of mycobacteria will enhance the sterilizing properties of post-surgical chemotherapy and increase the likelihood of treatment success (9).\nMost data available today supports the role of surgery in the management of MDRTB (10) although there has been an important selection bias since patients that are fit for surgery usually show more localized disease, with better response to medical treatment and have an overall better clinical status than patients that are not surgical candidates. Even with surgical patients appearing to have superior outcomes there is still no definitive evidence on the topic and surgery should be considered in selected cases by a multidisciplinary panel of specialists.\nIndications for surgical treatment\nIndications for surgical resection in the treatment of MDRTB were first described by Iseman et al in 1990 (11) and are still used except for minor adaptations due to development of further resistance. Surgery is indicated for patients with such extensive drug resistance that treatment failure or relapse is highly likely, in those with localised disease amenable to resection, and those who have sufficient drug activity to reduce remaining mycobacterial burden enough to allow bronchial stump healing and prevent postoperative complications. However, the lack of effective chemotherapy for some strains of M. tuberculosis classified as extensively resistant tuberculosis (XDRTB) means that even “cured” patients remain at high risk for relapse, and may be considered candidates for resection regardless of sputum culture status. The prerequisite of the presence of sufficient susceptible drug activity to facilitate healing of the bronchial stump is also less relevant in the setting of XDRTB, where extended resistance patterns mean that surgery often remains the only option for cure (12).\nGuidelines for the management of drug-resistant TB from WHO (13) and Partners in Health (14) use these same indications for surgery. The American Thoracic Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Infectious Diseases Society of America treatment of TB publication (15) state only that surgical resection should be considered for patients with MDRTB. According to most reports, a specialised surgical team with experienced thoracic surgeons in a dedicated center is considered a prerequisite for offering surgical resection to these patients (13,15). Other than that patients have to have sufficient cardiopulmonary reserve to tolerate resection (16).\nTiming of surgery and preop evaluation\nMost authors advocate that surgery should be performed after culture-conversion has been achieved to minimize the risk of post-surgical complications. A minimum of three to six months of preoperative chemotherapy is usually given. Another advantage in performing surgery later in the course of treatment is to allow time for nutritional supplementation and control of coexisting medical conditions. However, particularly in the case of XDRTB, this is unlikely to ever be achieved. Delaying surgery and persisting with ineffective chemotherapy may only facilitate progression of disease, and further promote the development of drug resistance (17).\nThe preoperative workup is directed at estimating cardiopulmonary reserve. Due to the lack of a standardized method for preoperative evaluation in patients undergoing resection for infectious disease we extrapolate the data available for lung cancer surgery. We routinely perform a complete pulmonary function test to estimate pulmonary reserve. In borderline cases, a quantitative lung perfusion scintigraphy can help to define nonperfused areas of parenchyma and thus provide a more reliable evaluation. Another useful tool for borderline patients is the cardiopulmonary exercise test. A VO2max of 15 mL/kg/min has been used as the cutoff for operability (18). An ECG followed by an echocardiogram, where indicated, may be useful in excluding pulmonary hypertension.\nThe role of minimally invasive surgery\nSince its first introduction in the 1980s video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has evolved to become the preferred method for the treatment of early stage lung cancer in many centers (19). Equivalent oncological outcomes have been extensively reported by large series when compared to open thoracotomy (20,21). Among the biggest advantages of VATS are less morbidity and postoperative pain (22-24), better functional status, and the improved ability to deliver adjuvant medical therapy (25). Other potential advantages include shorter length of hospital stay (26) and possible cost-minimization (27). Despite these advantages, much less is known about the use of these techniques in the setting of benign lung disease, and specifically infectious lung disease. In theory, patients with focal bronchiectasis or cavitary infectious lung disease that meet indications for surgical resection would be excellent candidates for a minimally invasive approach (28).\nThe main technical difficulties for VATS resections in infectious lung disease include the presence of firm pleural adhesions, hypertrophy of the bronchial circulation, hilar lymphadenopathy and presence of a thicker, difficult to compress lung parenchyma.\nCareful preoperative evaluation can help to predict most of the intraoperative complications. A high-resolution computed tomography will usually show the presence of dense adhesions. Although the need of an extrapleural dissection is an indication for conversion, most of the adhesions can be divided by VATS. In fact the better visualisation provided by the scope can make this part of the procedure easier than in some open approaches.\nSince hilar lymphadenopathy is a very common finding in these patients, additional care should be taken when dissecting the hilar vessels. Lymphadenectomy is not necessary but careful dissection of the hilar lymph nodes will increase exposure of the hilar vessels and make vascular control safer.\nAlthough these characteristics make VATS resections for infectious lung disease somewhat more challenging and with higher conversion rates than resection for lung cancer, many authors have reported good results by a minimally invasive approach, therefore VATS resection has been deemed feasible and its use has increased substantially (28-31).\nMore recently, robotic pulmonary resection (RATS) has emerged as another form of minimally invasive approach in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Initial reports assure the safety and oncological equivalency of this method (32-35). Despite the lack of published data on the use of RATS for infectious lung diseases, we believe that the robotic platform offers many advantages desirable in the treatment of these patients. Improved ergonomics, increased dexterity and precision, better visualisation with 3D high definition images and a higher magnification rate are the main advantages mentioned by robotic surgeons. Since nodal dissection seems to be more delicate the robotic system may help overcome the technical challenges of resection for infectious disease. The main disadvantages of this method are the lack of tactile feedback, increased operating room time for setup and increased costs.\nHere we present a case of a left upper lobectomy for infectious/inflammatory lung disease operated in our institution by a robotic approach (Figure 1) .\nMDRTB is a major global challenge in TB control with high rates of treatment failure and relapse. Surgical resection of grossly diseased areas of lung parenchyma seems to be an important adjuvant in the treatment of this condition. Most reports confirm this hypothesis, but further investigation is still necessary to define the best treatment strategy. From the evidence available today we suggest that a panel of specialists should be consulted when selecting patients for surgical treatment.\nWhen surgery is indicated patients should undergo a thorough preoperative evaluation to assess cardiopulmonary risk. Furthermore, we believe patients should have at least 3 months of adequate chemotherapy before surgery with culture conversion being necessary but not mandatory. This extra time should allow for an improvement in nutritional status and control of comorbidities.\nFrom a technical standpoint, lung resection for infectious/inflammatory disease post several challenges. Most difficulties are related to the presence of pleural adhesions and lymphadenopathy. Granting most authors have used an open approach to report their surgical results for MDRTB, we believe that minimally invasive surgery is feasible in this scenario and should be considered in selected cases.\nThe use of VATS has been increasing in the treatment of benign disease, with several authors publishing their experience with the method. Despite the lack of publications for this specific purpose, we consider that RATS has potential to develop as an excellent platform for delivering a minimally invasive technique in such difficult cases, mainly due to the improved ergonomics and dexterity provided by the robotic system.\nConflicts of Interest: RM Terra: educational grants from Johnson&Johnson, Medtronic and H.Strattner/Intuitive.

{"text": "BY DANE WENZEL\nSoftware Quality Assurance (SQA) should be considered an integral part of any software project. Adopting SQA efforts early in product development will involve meeting specified requirements, fixing bugs early, and preventing bugs. SQA should not be an afterthought or project phase that the product must pass through in order to ship. Nor should SQA be viewed solely as a testing effort, though testing is a big piece of it. When SQA is properly implemented throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the results are better products at a lower cost due to well defined requirements, improved software quality, and bug prevention.\nThere are differences between Software Quality Assurance and Software Quality.\nSoftware Quality Assurance can be defined in a couple of ways:\n- “A planned and systematic pattern of all actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that an item or product conforms to established technical requirements.” (IEEE, 1991).\n- “A systematic, planned set of actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that the software development process or the maintenance process of a software system product conforms to established functional technical requirements as well as with the managerial requirements of keeping the schedule and operating within the budgetary confines” (Galin, 2004).\nSoftware Quality is defined as:\n- “The degree to which a system, component, or process meets specified requirements. The degree to which a system, component, or process meets customer or user needs or expectations” (IEEE, 1991).\n- “Quality consists of those product features which meet the needs of customers and thereby provide product satisfaction. Quality consists of freedom from deficiencies” (Juran, 1988).\nThe SDLC is comprised of many different phases that historically follow the order of: Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance. Notice, testing falls in the middle of these phases, which is an important element of SQA. The benefits to initiating SQA efforts further upstream in the SDLC include meeting specified requirements, fixing bugs early, and preventing bugs.\nClearly not all software projects and teams are the same. Software projects come in a variety of complexities and so do teams. However, some form of SQA can be adopted to any project which will address the specific needs of the project and the unique capabilities of the team. SIGMADESIGN strives to provide SQA to all software projects in order to meet the client’s specified requirements. Here’s how we do it:\nSQA can be especially helpful during the early stages of the SDLC, specifically the Plan/Design phases as it focuses the design around the client’s requirements. Also, it can ensure the requirements provide clear product testability measures. A good development team will assess if the product requirements contain evaluation criteria, if the requirements are consistent, and if the requirements are measurable. During the Design phase, the SQA will also help identify any missed requirements or lost product functionality.\nSQA brings a unique perspective to requirement reviews as developers check evaluation criteria, measurability, and consistency involved in meeting those requirements. During the requirement phase, SQA addresses any concerns regarding incomplete or missing requirements that will be needed to both plan and execute testing.\nSQA focus areas during the Requirement/Design phases include:\n- Requirement reviews for completeness/consistency\n- Specification reviews for completeness/consistency\n- Design reviews for testability\n- Risk study/mitigations\n- Bug prevention measures\n- Test Plan (Master Test Plan)\n- Establishing bug tracking process/procedures\nIdentifying and fixing bugs early in the SDLC will, in most cases, will be less expensive. According to data gathered by the System Sciences Institute (SSI) at IBM, “the cost to fix a bug found during implementation was around 6 times costlier than one identified during design, bugs found during the testing phase could be 15 times more costly than during design.” Using these estimates, a bug found and fixed during the Plan/Design phases would cost $100 to fix. In these early phases, the bug would be considered a requirement/specification bug, not a coding bug. If, however, that same bug escaped detection in an earlier phase and was not identified until the Testing phase began, that bug would now cost $1,500 to fix.\nAdditionally, other costs attributed to bugs can be found after a product has shipped. These costs can be direct or indirect. Direct costs may include lost revenue for the current product or future products. Indirect costs may include reduced company or brand reputation and customer product loyalty.\nInterestingly, there are a few examples of real-world cases where companies learned the hard way that identifying and fixing bugs early in the SDLC will cost less. Here are a couple of examples documented by SmartBear:\nNASA – The Mars Climate Orbiter was a robotic space probe that NASA Launched in 1998 to study the climate and atmosphere of Mars. All was well until communication got cut-off a year into the mission when the Orbiter got lost in space. When dealing with spacecraft engineering, there’s a lot that could go wrong — it’s literally rocket science. However, the error could have been an easy fix if caught on time. The $125 million spacecraft presumably orbited too close to Mars’ surface and disintegrated because the engineering team failed to convert their measurements from U.S. units to metric.\nAT&T – In January of 1990, AT&T failed to meet the basic needs of their customers as thousands attempted to call their friends, family, and airports. Long distance calling was down for nine hours, and customers sparked outrage after experiencing a total of 75 million missed phone calls and 200,000 lost airline reservations. Initially, AT&T thought they were being hacked, but the issue was due to a software bug. AT&T had just recently “updated” code, but the change of speed ended up being detrimental to a system that couldn’t keep up. AT&T lost an estimated $60 million from long distances charges that didn’t go through after being down less than a full day in an error that was the result of one line of buggy code.\nBug prevention does not mean that every bug is prevented from occurring. Complete bug prevention is not feasible. The goal in bug prevention is to minimize the number of bugs introduced during the life of a project, starting at an early phase. Finding bugs in the later phases of the project, such as the testing phase, or worst case after shipping, will be far more detrimental to the project budget and potentially that company’s reputation than if found earlier in the SDLC or in the best scenario prevented in the first place.\nThere are multiple areas where SQA plays an active role in bug prevention early on in a project, including the following:\n- Architecture risk analysis\n- Setting quality goals\n- Setting quality measurements\n- Requirement standards\n- Requirement reviews\n- Design reviews\n- Coding standards\n- Code reviews\n- Unit tests\n- Continuous building and integration\n- Test automation\nMoving SQA upstream on your next software project might seem like an insurmountable undertaking. However, it may be easier than you think. The goal is to identify and fix bugs earlier by including SQA in the planning/design reviews and minimizing the introduction of bugs during earlier phases of the project. Ensuring SQA is an early foundational cornerstone on your next software project will help to lower costs in both the short and long term.\nSQA should not be considered a single person or a constrained ideology. SQA should be considered a quality mindset that each project team member can and should embrace for the overall success of any software project. When stakeholders see and appreciate the value and benefits SQA brings to a project when it is adopted earlier in SDLC, they will more likely become advocates for early adoption on future projects.", "label": "No"}

There are a plethora of animals with the best sense of smell, species that have a keener and more remarkable ability than others.\nIf you want to know which animals are this, keep on reading because we have prepared a great list of animals that dominates fin the ability to have the best sense of smell.\nHumans have 396 genes for olfactory receptors; however, animals have more OR genes. It is smaller than the 768 olfactory receptors found in rabbits. However, more animals have a high olfactory receptor count, a gene that gives an excellent ability to smell.\nYou must be looking forward to this, so let’s get started on the list of species with the best sense of smell right away, shall we?\nTable of Contents\nList of Animals with the Best Sense of Smell\nLet’s get into our list of animals with some amazing smell sensors.\nAmong the great animals that can smell the best are bears. Its sense of smell is 300 times better than humans. Bloodhound, a dog species also have 2,100 times better sense than a human’s.\nSince the olfactory bulb area in the bear’s brain is five times larger than the human brain, bears have the best sense of smell of any animal in the world. This kind of ability makes bears scary and fascinating at the same time.\nBears have enormous noses, each of which contains thousands of smell receptors. As a result, the species is ranked first among the species with the best sense of smell in the world.\nBears are capable of detecting a deceased animal from up to 20 miles away due to their exceptional ability and sharp sense of smell.\nWhen camping or in the woods, especially when bringing food that is appealing to bears, the dominant smell receptors, which are 100 times more sensitive than those of the human nose, will detect the scent of the food being brought.\nIf you do not store your food in an odor-proof plastic bag, it will be quite challenging to keep a bear away from your food in this situation.\nSee Related: Animals that Start with X\nWhen thinking about what animal has the best sense of smell, the sharks are among the list. This predatory fish relies mostly on its ability to smell. Smelling is so important to this creature that two-thirds of its brain is dedicated to the olfactory bulb.\nSince of this, sharks are frightening predators because they can detect the presence of a wounded marine animal or even an injured human victim from a mile away.\nIn addition to using its keen sense of hearing to seek food, the shark makes use of its powerful sense of smell. The nostrils of this species can be found on the bottom of its snout, on either side of its mouth.\nThey are aware of their surroundings by hearing and their excellent sense of smell, which is made possible by the shark’s amazing ability and body structure, allowing water to flow continually over its nostrils.\nWith the help of its incredible ability to smell, a shark can recognize a drop of blood in almost 100 liters of water!\nSee Related: Endangered Species in Oklahoma\nWhen talking about animals with the best sense of smell, Elephant is part of the list. According to research, this animal possesses the best sense of smell, and it is possibly the strongest ever discovered in a single species. Elephants have almost 2,000 unique genes that enable them to identify scents in their environment.\nElephants have a high sense of smell and can discover water sources from up to 12 miles away, thanks to their keen sense of smell and long-range. According to previous research, African elephants are able to discern between odor molecules with exceedingly minute structural changes that humans and other primates are utterly unable to detect.\nTheir nostril is placed located at the tip of the trunk and is responsible for breathing, smelling, and obtaining water from the environment. Elephants’ sense of smell is constantly used, making this animal among animals that smell the best. Its trunk is always used that helps to detect new smells and information.\nSee Related: International Elephant Foundation\nWondering which animals have the strongest sense of smell? Snake is definitely among these animals. Its remarkable ability of keen sense of smell makes it a fascinating animal.\nSnakes do have nostrils despite they don’t have a conventional and can smell with their tongues. The tongue of the anaconda, ground-dwelling snakes, and other aquatic snakes is used to detect scent.\nSnake sniff through the mouth; it relies on tongue-flicking gestures to gather airborne particles where they are able to smell through the mouth. It facilitates the collection of samples from the air particles, soil, and water and the analysis of the various compounds.\nThese animals use their tongues to detect all kinds of scents in the air, which allows them to identify a smell and locate prey or to know where danger is lurking. Like the sharks, snakes use their keen sense of smell to be aware of their surroundings and survive.\nSee Related: Best Wildlife Conservation Job\nDogs have a powerful nose that makes them among the animals with an amazing sense of smell. Generally speaking, dogs are considered to be good smellers, as evidenced by the fact that police and military service dogs are trained to detect explosives.\nHowever, despite the fact they do not have a particularly big number of olfactory receptor genes, their sense of smell is 100 times better than humans. Bloodhounds are a dog species that have an exceptionally keen sense of scent and have 300 times better smelling abilities than humans.\nThe portion of a dog’s brain that is dedicated to evaluating odors is approximately 40 times larger than the portion of a human brain. These animals are drawn to odors that are new, novel, and intriguing to them.\nDogs have an extremely delicate sense of smell and a very powerful one because of their keen sense of smell that dogs are trained and employed to detect bombs and drugs. They can also track down individuals based on the smell of their clothing and discover bodies.\nSee Related: Best Book on Endangered Species\nSmall but with an incredible sense of smell. The olfactory bulb of the kiwi is indeed the second largest among all birds in terms of its relation to its forebrain size. It is the reason why it is among the animals with the best sense of smell.\nFor the simple reason that they are unable to fly and that their food is located on the ground, Kiwis have developed an acute sense of smell.\nIt is exclusively by the use of their sense of smell that they can locate earthworms. Kiwi’s nostrils are also positioned near the tip of its bill, which is a unique adaptation that facilitates detecting and locating food much easier for the bird.\nSee Related: Amur Leopard\nAnimals with the best sense of smell include huge tamed cloven-hooved herbivores like cows. This animal has a keen sense of smell, as evidenced by the presence of 1,186 olfactory receptor genes compared to humans.\nIts strong nose was capable of detecting odors from as far away as five to six miles away. This skill of the cows was valuable in situations where they could detect impending danger.\nAside from possessing a keen sense of smell, cattle are also equipped with outstanding hearing capabilities. Even though the cows’ primary senses were sight and hearing, their excellent sense of smell also benefited them in understanding what was going on in their environment.\nSee Related: Environmental Organizations in Africa\nYou might be wondering why there is a moth on the list, and the answer is simple. The moth, namely the male silkmoth, is the world’s best among all of the insects. A male moth can sense the scent of a female moth from more than seven kilometers away. This demonstrates how intense and acute the animal’s sense of smell is.\nIn order to extract smell molecules from the air, male moths use their feathery antennae to do so.\nTheir antennae detect scent components as they fly, rather than utilizing their nostrils to smell them as most would normally do. A single scent is detected by their highly developed sense of smell, which has evolved to detect only the scent of female moths.\nSee Related: Best Posters on Saving Earth\nIf you’re looking for answers of which is the best, rat or mice, in terms of sense of smell, the Rats beat the mice. Rat is among the animals with the best sense of smell.\nThey have strong sniffing abilities, which allows them to have a more varied and versatile diet than cats, which can smell out but are extremely picky eaters. They are not very well-versed in detecting odors that what rats can do.\nThe presence of 1,207 olfactory receptor genes in rats contributes to the animals’ excellent sense of smell. A piece of skin on the back of the rat’s neck comprises smell receptors, allowing air to pass past their nose.\nWhen a rat smells, the fragrance particles travel to their vomeronasal organ, where they process it. Rats also use this organ to detect and distinguish between different individuals of the same rat species by detecting pheromones.\nSee Related: Best Conservation Posters\nHorses are among the animals that have a high sense of smell, and they are also among the most intelligent animal. Even though their sense of smell is not as good as a dog’s when it comes to scent detection, they have a far better sense of smell than humans do.\nThrough this skill, horses are able to distinguish between predators and other horses, and the anatomy of their nasal cavity has provided horses with a relatively big nasal cavity to use. Furthermore, due to the large size of the horse’s head, there are a disproportionately large number of receptors.\nWhen they inhale a scent that they are intrigued by, their flexible nostrils flare. It is similar to how dogs learn about one other by sniffing one another’s backsides, although horses are less straightforward in their communication when meeting for the first time.\nSee Related: Environmental Organizations in Europe\nOpossums are marsupials, which means they are mammals with a keen sense of smell. It is similar to the development of kangaroos and koalas, where part of their development takes place in the mother’s womb, and the rest takes place in her pouch.\nBecause of its limited vision and hearing, its sense of smell and its excellent sense of touch take precedence over these senses.\nThese genes are found in more significant numbers in this species than in humans, who only have 396 olfactory receptor genes in total. Because of their vast number of OR, opossums are remarkable animals who have a keen sense of smell.\nThere are notorious foragers who are frequently observed sniffing in gardens and grounds in search of a food source.\nA high sense of smell helps opossums adapt to their surroundings, allowing them to survive in urban environments.\nAside from having incredibly keen olfactory capabilities, this animal is also recognized for having an exceptionally powerful immune system, which allows it to defend itself against illnesses and toxicity from the venom of the snakes on which it preys.\nSee Related: Types of Lions Around the World\n12. Chinese softshell turtle\nThe Chinese softshell turtle, also referred to as the Asiatic soft-shelled turtle, is a reptile and among animals with the best sense of smell. In addition to China and Hawaii, this species can be found in other places of the world as well.\nThe fact that this reptile made it onto this list was attributed to its 1,137 olfactory receptor genes that are almost close to the number of the Cows OR.\nThe Chinese softshell turtle is a type of softshell turtle that is also considered to be an invasive species in the United States. It has a maximum height of 13 feet, depending on gender.\nThese turtles are olive in color, and they may have dark markings on their bodies as well as a long-looking snout.

{"text": "What is the best way to display a variety of surfaces in such a way as to encourage many people to interact with them? Stage an exhibit. In March of 1996, the Providence Art Club, one of the oldest such clubs in the country, hosted the show ``Surfaces Beyond the Third Dimension'' in their Dodge House Gallery. The first incarnation of that exhibition was for two weeks, and the gallery book includes the signatures of dozens of visitors, including artists, students, and mathematicians. The physical exhibit has long since been dismantled, yet the show lives on as a virtual experience and we still receive comments in the on-line guest book.\nThe Dodge House Gallery has a square base and one interior partition, providing well-lighted wall space for twelve large photographic reproductions of computer graphics images as well as an alcove for display of a continuous videotape featuring two three-minute videos. There was a guidebook that gave information about the nature of the objects, including technical descriptions of the software and hardware used in the design of the objects and the Ilfochrome process used in their reproduction. Additional pages gave mathematical descriptions of the various pieces, as well as references to places where they had appeared either in research articles or as illustrations in books and journals. There was also a well-attended afternoon gallery talk, describing the origins of the project and including a guided tour of the exhibit. All of these aspects of the physical exhibit are enhanced in the virtual counterpart. In a certain sense, the on-line version contains much more than the original. To what extent does it capture and augment the experience of those who visited the actual gallery opening, and came back to see and respond to the images on the walls? There are many questions raised by this means of portraying mathematical art and design, and we will address some of them now.\nWhat is it that we are showing? Most of the images included were originally studied as abstract geometric constructions given by parametric surfaces in three- and four-dimensional space. In some cases, there is an elaborate theory behind the illustration, whereas in other cases, the phenomena are not yet well understood. In several instances, the display itself represents an innovation not only in the method of displaying a surface but in representing its mathematical properties in a way that suggests new results. Visitors to the virtual exhibit can read about the mathematics behind any of the images via a link from the main page for the image.\nIt is clear that this electronic gallery faithfully reproduces a great many of the aspects of the actual exhibit, while altering the experience in other ways. In some cases, the electronic version loses information, while in others it provides the opportunity for significant enhancement, particularly in satisfying the viewer's curiosity about the different parts of the mathematics and computer science that made it possible for us to produce these works. We are grateful for the opportunity to present our work in a way that will continue long after the physical exhibit has given way to the work of other artists, and we look forward to further responses from visitors to our virtual gallery.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The Student Experience\nWiSE Beyond Their Years:\nWomen in Science and Engineering\nBy Deanna Duff\nElise Groves is proud to continue her family's engineering legacy – with a twist. Upon graduating from the UW in 2014, she will become a third-generation engineer. Following in her father's and grandfather's footsteps is rewarding, but it has also been a journey to find equal footing. As the first woman in her family to pursue engineering, she couldn't always look to them for role models.\n\"Engineering is a male-dominated field and sometimes it's a struggle to attend class and realize you're the only female. In the back of your mind, you wonder if choosing another field would be easier,\" says the 21-year-old. \"It's programs like WiSE that made me realize female engineers really do exist.\"\nWomen in Science and Engineering (WiSE) is a nationwide program that endeavors to recruit and retain female engineering and science students. UW WiSE is one of many successful programs in the College of Engineering Student Academic Services (SAS ) focused on increasing the number of female engineering students. And WiSE is working.\nCreating equal gender opportunities benefits the sciences and engineering. \"We bring our own, unique perspectives and when you combine women and men, it creates a fuller, whole picture,\" says Groves.\nAnne Goodchild, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, understands firsthand the impact of WiSE. For her, the seed to pursue engineering was partially planted when a WiSE group presented at her California high school. \"In hindsight, it was really powerful. Even for upper-middle class students like me, the exposure made an impact,\" says Goodchild. \"There are so many messages sent to girls that they should do other things and it undermines their confidence. WiSE makes a difference in helping counteract that.\"\nUW Leading the Nation in Women in Engineering\nThe UW's efforts with a variety of programs to increase the number of female students have yielded solid results. According to the National Center for Education, in 1988 only 15.4% of engineering graduates nationally were women. Over 20 years later, the American Society for Engineering Education (AS EE) reported that the UW's 24% undergraduate rate in 2011 was ahead of the 18% national average. While parity has yet to be reached across the board, some engineering disciplines demonstrate particular progress. According to AS EE, for the 2010-2011 academic year, 48% in UW industrial and systems engineering graduates were women, 41% in bioengineering and 37% in chemical engineering.\n\"Every one of those fields is known to have strong, positive social impacts. Women tend to choose engineering areas where they see more social benefit,\" says Suzanne Brainard, current executive director for the Center for Workforce Development. Brainard, who designed and implemented the Women in Engineering Initiative and formerly oversaw WiSE, believes that reframing the discussion was essential to making progress. \"This isn't an issue of 'fixing' women. Research showed that women don't decide against engineering or drop out of programs because of personal failure. Their grades are often better than the men,\" says Brainard. \"We had to work towards institutional change. How can we (the education system) be more supportive and emphasize these fields as available options to young women?\"\nImpressive progress has been made in the last 20 years, but there is also much that remains to be accomplished. \"It's labor-intensive to run these programs and takes a lot of people power and financial support,\" says Brainard. To safeguard the progress already made and to continue moving forward, ongoing and vigilant advocacy is essential.\nEngaging Students Early\nA major way that WiSE helps the UW achieve that mission is through early outreach. \"The transition from high school to college and the first two years at university are crucial in encouraging young women to pursue disciplines such as engineering,\" says Cathryne Jordan, WiSE program manager.\nMany female students are not overtly or intentionally discouraged. Rather, they are deterred by feelings of isolation and the lack of role models. \"Some people don't mind being in the minority, but it can be overwhelming to come from a typical high school where the classes are about (gender) even one of only a few girls in a class of 100. No one really has to say anything (negative) for it to feel intimidating,\" says Alexandra Gramling. Gramling served as a WiSE board member and graduated this year with a mechanical engineering degree. She will pursue her engineering master's degree at the UW this fall.\nIn addition to providing students opportunities to connect with their peers, having female, academic role models is equally important. Anne Goodchild specifically chose to come to the UW as a faculty member because of its welcoming environment. \"Our department has hired a lot of really talented young women. I think in the long-term, we (female professors) support the younger generation by obtaining positions of leadership and influence and that filters through,\" By Deanna Duff says Goodchild.\nA Community of Support\nWiSE offers several events and partners with the Society of Women Engineers and Phi Sigma Rho, a sorority of women engineers, to provide ongoing, community support. WiSE receives some university funding, but is largely supported by industry contributions, individual gifts and volunteers. Students and alumni serve on the advisory board planning and overseeing projects. To fully connect the various communities, the annual WiSE conference is the program's flagship event hosting high school students, current and pre-engineering college students, faculty, alumni and industry leaders. Held every winter, a few hundred attendees network and attend lectures and workshops. This not only creates a sense of community, but also encourages long-term consideration of how to eventually integrate into the workforce.\nFor major industry leaders like Microsoft, Boeing, BP, CIS CO and Intel (among the many WiSE corporate sponsors), cultivating exceptional women engineers is mutually beneficial. \"There aren't many companies today that aren't building worldwide products. Any aspect of diversity that you can bring to the team, including women, is critically important. The more collective knowledge, the better the product in the end,\" says Debra Dove, a 1998 UW computer engineering graduate. Dove works at Microsoft and, as an alumna, has repeatedly participated in WiSE events.\nThe current generation of students who have benefited from WiSE are already doing their part. They have learned the value of not only being great engineers, but good citizens who want to inspire future generations.\n\"When I have kids, whether they're boys or girls, I hope they'll be engineers!\" says Gramling.\nInterested in WiSE? Consider these opportunities:\nA quarterly session where you can mentor aspiring female engineers.\nWiE Speaks Lecture Series\nShare your expertise with female engineering students as a presenter.\nWomen in Engineering Conference – March 2, 2013\nVolunteer as a speaker, mentor, or participant in this annual event.\nContact Joseph Sherman at firstname.lastname@example.org if you are interested in any of the above volunteer opportunities.\nGive to the Suzanne G.

{"text": "Brought to you from FIRST THINGS by Allan Gillis\n“Most of those pushing for women deacons are interested not in restoring an aspect of early Christian history but in acquiring political power in today’s Catholic Church.”\nThe True History of Women Deacons\nWhen Pope Francis announced his willingness to appoint a commission to study whether women can serve as deacons in the Catholic Church, my first thought was: Here we go!\nAnd sure enough, FutureChurch, the liberal Catholic organization that has subtly pushed for the ordination of women to the hitherto all-male Catholic priesthood, not only praised Francis for his statement but announced its intention to set up a CatholicWomenDeacons.org website, sponsor a retreat for women feeling the “call” to become deacons, and, clearly most important of all, lobby the U.S. bishops to start pestering Rome about opening the diaconate to the female sex. The less subtle Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) faulted Francis for not going all the way and opening the priesthood to women, but it did offer him some limited praise: “WOC advocates that a new commission on the diaconate include discussions on priestly ordination for women in the Roman Catholic Church.”\nThe “discussions” WOC has in mind seem to be historical in nature. In its press statement, WOC invokes “historical evidence” of the existence of “several women deacons” in the early Church and asserts that, in ordaining women deacons, the Vatican would merely be “recognizing its own history.”\nBut a look at that history may cause us to doubt whether the aspiring women deacons of today really are in line with the historical Christian women they claim as their forebears.\nThere is no question that women deacons, even ordained women deacons, performed an ecclesiastical function for many centuries in the early Church. Exactly what that function was, however, is difficult to figure out. We know of Phoebe, the “deacon of the church,” whom Paul mentions in his letter to the Romans. But the Greek noun “diakonos” that Paul uses—which in classical Greek had no specific female gender—meant “servant” during the first century. The same noun is used in John’s Gospel to denote the servants who filled up the water jars during the wedding feast at Cana, and it appears in the Acts of the Apostles with respect to the seven men who were chosen to feed to the poor while the apostles focused on prayer and preaching.\nChristian documents of the third and fourth centuries provide more detail, and they seem to depict an increasingly elaborate and formally honored role for women deacons. These documents refer specifically to deaconesses (“diakonissai”), and at least one mentions a bishop’s laying his hands on these women in a kind of ordination ceremony that recognized their special office. Other early documents, mostly from the Eastern Church but also occasionally in the West, name some women as “deaconesses.” These women were almost invariably either widows or celibates who had chosen some form of the monastic life. Their duties largely consisted of charitable works and participating in the baptisms of adult women, in the days when immersion baptism was universal and it would have appeared scandalous for a male priest to immerse a naked woman. These deaconesses sometimes assisted priests at the liturgy—a not uncommon practice among nuns whose only male contact was their priest.\nThe nunnishness of the early Christian women who became deaconesses is striking. And it is a feature that persisted, even into fairly recent history. Deaconesses disappeared from both the Western and Eastern Orthodox Churches during the Middle Ages, when the office of “deacon,” with its specifically liturgical functions of preaching and reading the Gospel, became a formal part of Holy Orders and thus open only to men. Only the Armenian Church continued to ordain deaconesses to serve at the altar, up through the early twentieth century. And it should be noted that every one of those Armenian deaconesses was a nun, often the abbess of her convent.\nI suspect that few of the women who suddenly feel the “call” to the Catholic diaconate in light of Pope Francis’s statement will likewise be willing to enter nunneries—much less to adopt the very feminine title of “deaconess.” Most of those pushing for women deacons are interested not in restoring an aspect of early Christian history but in acquiring political power in today’s Catholic Church. Their goal is the priesthood and, ultimately, the episcopate—just as it was for women deacons when the Anglican Church began recognizing their office as part of Holy Orders during the 1960s. Our aspiring women deacons view the female diaconate not as a historical revival, but as a camel’s nose in the clerical tent.\nCharlotte Allen is a writer living in Washington, D.C.\nFirst Things is a great online/print journal!

It is well known that this union had a tremendous impact on her, not only as a woman but also as an artist. Our focus will be to question the painter’s intimate world in liaison with her creative process, in light of the fatality that took place in 1932, which resulted in the production of the dramatic painting “Henry Ford Hospital”.

{"text": "For antenna modelling see L B Cebik's pages at http://www.cebik.com/ which contains much introductory and advanced material on using the Numerical Electromagnetic Code NEC software.\nThis Java applet can be used to visualise wave motion in 2 dimensions close to antennas and other conducting structures. Highly recommended.\nThere is a complete set of notes by Prof Georgieva of McMaster University in pdf format at http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/faculty/georgieva/antennas.htm which will take time to download, but contain reasonably complete maths and descriptions and novel insights.\nFor a propagation-of-microwaves tutorial see http://www.mike-willis.com/Tutorial/propagation.html by Dr Michael Willis, G0MJW (and the Rutherford-Appleton Lab).\nThe purpose of a transmitting antenna is to radiate electromagnetic waves into \"free space\" (usually, but not necessarily, air). The power for this is supplied by a \"feeder\" which is often a length of transmission line or waveguide having a well-defined characteristic impedance. One can regard an antenna as a kind of \"transducer\" to turn generated electrical energy into radiating energy. The acoustic equivalent of an antenna is a loudspeaker, (or microphone in the case of a receive antenna).\nAntennas are also used in \"receive mode\" to collect radiation from \"free space\" and deliver the energy contained in the propagating wave to the feeder and receiver. Usually, antennas are reciprocal devices; their essential properties do not depend on whether they are used as transmit or receive devices. So an efficient transmit antenna can also be used as an efficient receive antenna for the same kind of signal. The directional pattern also does not depend on the transmit or receive mode usage. These properties are collected together and called reciprocity .\nAn \"isotropic radiator\" has no preferred direction of radiation. It radiates uniformly in all directions over a sphere centred on the antenna. It is a reference radiator with which other antennas are compared. If the power supplied to the isotropic radiator is P watts, the energy density (watts per square metre) at a distance R metres from the centre of the radiator is P/(4 pi R^2). This is because we are spreading the power P uniformly across the area (4 pi R^2) of a sphere of radius R.\nSince propagating electromagnetic waves are transverse, the electric and magnetic field vector directions are at right angles to each other and also at right angles to the direction of travel of the wave.\nClearly then, we cannot realise an isotropic radiator in practice since there will be places on the unit sphere where we cannot specify a unique \"polarisation direction\" for the direction of the electric field. (For example, the lines of longitude on a sphere all meet at the poles, and the directions N and S are not defined at the poles).\nThis is sometimes called the \"hairy ball\" problem. Can you comb a hairy ball so that there is no parting or point of baldness anywhere on the ball? No; there must be a discontinuity in hair direction somewhere.\nFor this reason, it is impossible to construct, or even envisage, a perfect isotropic radiator. (If one allows more than one polarisation mode, one can approximate an isotropic radiator for some practical purposes. However, this can be argued to be a superposition of two antennas, and the polarisation properties are not isotropic even though the power summed over the two modes may be, approximately. To receive isotropic radiation from such an antenna over the sphere, one would have to construct a receive antenna whose polarisation properties depended on where it is located with respect to the source. An example of this dual-polarisation use is provided by the turnstile antenna, and tailored stacked turnstiles may be made a good approximation to an isotropic source in this sense.) It is however possible to have uniform radiation in all azimuth (see below) directions, or in all elevation directions at a particular azimuth plane.\nSuch an antenna, having uniform radiation azimuthally, is called \"omnidirectional\". This term is a misnomer, as the antenna is not isotropic and the radiation strength will decrease if we increase the size of the elevation angle. Thus an \"omni\" antenna does not radiate equally in all directions.\nImagine you are standing upright on the ground. If you look straight ahead you are looking \"along boresight\". The boresight direction of an antenna is usually taken to be the direction along which the radiation is most highly concentrated. There can be, therefore, more than one boresight direction (eg, a vertically orientated half-wave dipole has uniform radiation in the azimuth plane, and any direction in this azimuth plane may be defined as boresight.)\nIf you look around you horizontally, you are looking in various \"azimuth\" directions. The azimuth angle varies from 0 to 360 degrees, allowing you to look in every horizontal direction.\nIf you look up or down with respect to your local horizon, the angle of view up or down is termed the \"elevation\". The elevation angle varies from -90 degrees (straight down) to +90 degrees (overhead).\nWe shall call the elevation angle \"theta\" and the azimuth angle \"phi\". The distance from the antenna is the radius \"R\". These are commonly termed \"spherical polar co-ordinates\".\nThe set of angles phi(0 to 360 degrees) and theta(-90 to 90 degrees) allows us to specify any radiation direction uniquely. In the far field region (see below), the electric and magnetic fields fall off proportional to distance R; that is, they go as 1/R. The power therefore falls off as (1/R)^2 and the total radiated power over the entire sphere surrounding the antenna is independent of distance R.\nGiven a set of spherical polar co-ordinates (R, theta, phi) we can determine the power density in watts/(square metre) for both the antenna being investigated, and the isotropic reference antenna which is radiating the same total power. The ratio of these power densities gives us the \"directivity\" of the unknown antenna in the direction (theta, phi) at a distance R from the antenna. If the direction (theta, phi) is not specified, the \"directivity\" is taken to be the maximum directivity of any of the directions of radiation. The quoted definition is\n\"The directivity of an antenna is defined as the ratio of the radiation intensity in a given direction from the antenna, to the radiation intensity averaged over all directions. This average radiation intensity is equal to the total power of the antenna divided by (4 pi). If the direction is not specified, the directivity refers to the direction of maximum radiation intensity\". We should caveat that this definition is for power radiated in the FAR FIELD region.\nHere, the distance R from the antenna is taken out of the considerations by defining the radiation intensity as \"the power radiated from an antenna per unit solid angle\". For a directional antenna the radiation intensity will depend on direction from the antenna. However, in the far field it will not depend on the distance from the antenna.\nIn both cases the power at large distances falls off with distance as 1/(R^2). This is called the \"inverse square law\" and is because the area of a sphere increases with distance as (R^2). The \"solid angle\" subtended at the origin by an area A on a sphere is defined as A/(R^2). The units of solid angle are called \"steradians\". There are 4 pi steradians in a complete surrounding surface of the antenna.\nThe power radiated into any solid angle by an antenna is constant in the \"far field region\". Thus the directivity in the far field is not a function of the distance from the antenna.\nThe \"gain\" of an antenna takes account of the antenna efficiency as well as its directivity. The formal definition of gain in any direction (theta, phi) is \"power density radiated in direction (theta, phi) divided by the power density which would have been radiated at (theta, phi) by a lossless (perfect) isotropic radiator having the same total accepted input power.\" If the direction is not specified, the value for gain is taken to mean the maximum value in any direction for that particular antenna, and the direction along which the gain is maximum is called the \"antenna boresight\".\nAllied to the concept of gain is the concept of efficiency. The efficiency of an antenna is the gain divided by the directivity, in any direction.\nThe efficiency and gain are limited by resistive losses in the antenna structure, and by resistive loss in objects which may lie inside the \"near field\" region of the antenna. (see below.)\nThe IEEE standards specifically exclude reductions in total transmitted signal arising from impedance mismatch (reflection loss) or polarisation mismatch. These reduce the transmitted signal in any particular application by further amounts, and have to be considered in any link budget calculation.\nAs an example of loss produced by objects close to the antenna radiating structure, there is a very substantial reduction in gain of the 10 element Yagi array antennas on the roof of BB building at about 4pm in the afternoon, when all the birds come and roost on the antennas. Birds have a high dielectric loss tangent.\nBoth Directivity and Gain are quantities relative to a reference antenna. Most often this is taken to be an isotropic antenna, which radiates equally in all (spherical) directions, and which cannot be made in practice. If the gain is expressed as dB it is usual to suffix the \"isotropic reference\" with the letter i; thus the gain with respect to an isotropic antenna in dB is called\nHowever, antenna designers often want to know how much better a given antenna (possibly a Yagi-Uda) is than a reference dipole antenna. A dipole antenna has directivity 2.2 dBi. So it is frequently the case that we see the term dBd, where the directivity is referenced (by the suffix letter d) to a perfect dipole. For the reference dipole, the gain and directivity are assumed to be the same, that is, the efficiency is assumed to be 100%. Thus the gain with respect to a perfect half-wave dipole antenna in dB is called\nImmediately, we see that there is the additive relationship\nNow since 10^(2.2/10) = 10^(0.22) = 1.6596 we see that the numerical gain of a reference dipole is about 1.66 over isotropic, and that in numerical terms\nThese figures are good to a percent, which is adequate for practical antenna design and measurement purposes.\nThe propagating wave has a transverse direction for the electric field called the \"polarisation direction\". This normally lies along the direction of electric field in the waveguide feed, or along the conducting driven rod element in a linear antenna.\nIt is of course possible to radiate from a conductor which is not constructed in a straight line. However, there will still be a preferred polarisation direction.\nThe polarisation direction is necessarily at right angles to the line of sight joining the observer to the transmitting antenna. It is also at right angles to the magnetic field direction, which is also \"transverse\".\nIt is possible for the plane of polarisation, or the polarisation direction, to change with time, and to change with distance away from the source antenna. This is called \"rotation of the plane of polarisation\".\nIf the antenna consists of a helix, or a crossed array of dipoles fed in quadrature, then the plane of polarisation can rotate one complete cycle every wavelength. The wave is then said to be \"circularly polarised\". It is possible to have right hand and left hand circular polarisation.\nClearly we can rotate the plane of polarisation in time and distance by spinning the antenna physically about an axis lying along the boresight direction.\nThe general dependence of directivity and gain on the angles (theta, phi) is called the \"radiation pattern\".\nIn the case of a linear polarised antenna having fixed direction of polarisation, one can draw polar sectional plots in the \"E-plane\" and in the \"H-plane\". The E-plane contains the direction of propagation and the electric field vector. The H-plane contains the direction of propagation and the magnetic field vector. The E-plane is at right angles to the H-plane.\nE-plane and H-plane plots are normally regarded as sufficient to characterise an antenna.\nThe radiated power density may fall into well-defined regions called \"lobes\", separated by regions of low intensity called \"nulls\". Strictly speaking the nulls can only be precisely zero intensity for particular directions (points from a continuous set). There is the \"main lobe\", which is usually where the wanted power from the antenna is directed, and \"side lobes\" where the antenna sends radiated energy which is regarded as \"wasted\" or may even interfere with other transmitting systems.\nIt is possible for there to be more than one main lobe having a given maximum value of gain. For example, a linear array of dipoles can have main lobes spaced 180 degrees apart, and both having the same gain.\nAny radiating structure which has rotational invariance around a vertical axis will radiate equally in all directions in the horizontal plane, because there is nothing to define a preferred direction of (horizontal) radiation.\nExamples are a vertical whip antenna, or a vertical dipole, or a monopole over a ground plane. These antennas radiate with the electric field vertical, and the magnetic field horizontal.\nIn the case of a horizontal loop or coil, the radiation is also omnidirectional but the magnetic field is vertical and the electric field is horizontal.\nAn alternative method of producing horizontally polarised (nearly) omnidirectional radiation is to use crossed horizontal dipoles fed in phase quadrature. Such an arrangement is called a turnstile antenna. Each dipole produces a characteristic figure-of-eight radiation pattern in the horizontal plane; these are superposed in quadrature so the pattern, looked at from above, rotates about the axis once a cycle of radiation. Turnstile antennas also radiate circular polarisation vertically; the radiation may be concentrated in the horizontal plane by stacking turnstile antennas one above the other and feeding them in phase with each other. Turnstile antennas are commonly used as transmitting antennas when horizontal polarisation is required together with omnidirectional radiation.\nIn the early days of FM band II broadcasting, transmitters were horizontally polarised and the electric field was in the horizontal plane. This made reception on vertical whip antennas on motor vehicles unsatisfactory, as the polarisations were crossed. An ideal receiving antenna for this configuration would have been a horizontal loop above the top of the vehicle. Occasionally one can see such an arrangement on the streets. However, this has overheads of complexity and so the band II transmitters nowadays are slant polarised or elliptically polarised, so that there is a vertical component of electric field.\nThe horizontal polarisation was adopted because it was found that the reception on antennas spaced around 10 metres from the ground could be maintained over a slightly greater service area than was the case when using vertical polarisation. Also it was found that the interference from unsuppressed car ignition systems was less for the horizontally polarised case, and it was believed that the multi-path reflections from aircraft flying overhead were less troublesome for this configuration. If one measures the signal strength of a band II transmission somewhere near a major airport, it is constantly fluctuating due to these multi-path effects from the moving reflecting surfaces of the aircraft.\nThe power density in watts per square metre is numerically equal to the rms E field in the wave times the rms H field in the wave. We remember the rms values are 0.707 times the peak values, or 1/sqrt(2) times the peak values.\nWe recall the SI unit of the electric field E is volts/metre, and the SI unit of the magnetic field H is amps/metre. Thus the product is (volts amps)/metre^2 or watts per square metre, as expected.\nThe characteristic impedance of free space (that is, vacuum or air) is 377 ohms or 120 pi ohms. This is the ratio of E field to H field. It is called Zo. Thus the power density in watts per square metre is (H^2)*Zo or (E^2)/Zo. The field strengths are therefore proportional to the square root of the power density, and they therefore fall off as 1/R, or linearly with distance.\nThe field strengths therefore fall by a factor of 2 every time the distance from the antenna is doubled; the radiated power density falls by a factor of 4 (or 6dB) every time the distance from the antenna is doubled.\nExercise for the reader. Calculate the electric field strength on boresight, 100 kilometres away from a transmit antenna which has boresight gain 20dB and accepted input power 10 kilowatts. Compare the received voltage from a 1 metre length of wire antenna (assumed short compared to a wavelength) with the thermal noise voltage produced by a resistance of 75 ohms across a bandwidth of 10 kHz at a temperature of 300K. Hint. Boltzmann's constant k = 1.38 * 10^(-23) watts per degree K. Express the signal to noise ratio in dB.\nApart from quantum electronic devices such as lasers and masers, radiation is always the result of accelerated charge. Since ions are so much heavier than electrons, in practice this means that radiation is almost entirely due to accelerated electrons. These do not have to be \"free electrons\" or even \"conduction electrons\"; it is possible for radiation to occur from the acceleration of electrons bound to positive ionic charge in a dielectric. We note especially that radiation does not occur from the displacement current term in Maxwell's equations if this term does not include dielectric effects. That is, normally the relative dielectric constant of a physical medium is greater than unity because of polarisation effects (displacement of physical charge). There can be a contribution to the radiated fields from this bound charge which is represented by the displacement current contribution (epsilon-relative - 1)(epsilon0)dE/dt. However, in a vacuum, the displacement current (epsilon0)dE/dt does not contribute to the radiated far fields. For a full proof of this, the reader is directed to the book \"Classical electromagnetism via relativity\" by W V G Rosser, Butterworths, 1968.\nThe contribution to the E field at large distances is proportional to the [amount of charge being accelerated] times [its acceleration]. This has dimensions Coulombs-metres/sec/sec, which is the same dimensions as the rate of change of the quantity (IL) for a current I in a little length L of conductor. Thus we see, in order to increase the radiation from a short length of antenna, we either\nThe effective area multiplied by the wave incident power density in watts per square metre gives the total power delivered to the antenna's feeder. This is for a receive antenna.\nThe effective area A of an antenna is related to the boresight gain G and the free space wavelength lambda of the radiation by the formula G = (4 pi A)/(lambda^2). This is a most important formula.\nA half-wave dipole has effective area of 0.13 lambda^2, which is roughly an area lambda/2 by lambda/4. The directivity of a half wave dipole, in the azimuth direction or H-plane, is about 1.67 or about 2.23 dB. Within elevation angles of size about 32.6 degrees the dipole has higher directivity than an isotropic source; outside this range it has lower directivity.\nConsidering an antenna as a transmitter, if it is fed with power P (accepted power) then the power density on boresight is G P/(4 pi R^2) at distance R. Here, G is a straight number calculated from the directivity and the efficiency. It is also possible to give the gain G in decibels; remember G is a power gain so in dB a gain G of 10 is 10dB, a gain of 100 is 20dB, a gain of 1000 is 30dB and so on.\nIf we transmit between two antennas each of gain G, spaced by a distance R, the field strength at the second due to the first is G P/(4 pi R^2) watts per square metre, and the effective area of the second is A=G*(lambda^2)/(4 pi) so the total power transferred from transmitter to receiver is the product of these factors. The received power is therefore P*(G lambda)^2/(4 pi R)^2. This can be factorised into three parts as follows; the gain of the transmitting antenna times the gain of the receiving antenna times a \"divergence factor\" because not all of the power transmitted is picked up by the receiver. This latter factor is [lambda/(4 pi R)]^2 and the reciprocal of this, namely [(4 pi R)/lambda]^2 is often referred to as the \"free space loss\". We note that it is not really a \"loss\" as free space itself is a lossless propagating medium.\nThese antenna transmission formulae only apply in the far field region, so we need to know when we are in the far field.\nIn the near field region, the polar radiation pattern depends on distance from the antenna and there is reactive power flow in and out of the region. One can imagine that the energy, instead of propagating uniformly and steadily away from the antenna, has an oscillatory longitudinal component. Energy is transferred to and from the near field region which represents the reactive part of the antenna driving point impedance. As one moves further away, this oscillatory energy flow reduces leaving just the regular power flow in the resistive characteristic impedance (377 ohms or 120 pi ohms) of free space.\nIn the far field the polar radiation pattern is completely independent of distance from the radiating source.\nThe transition from near to far field happens at the \"Rayleigh distance\", sometimes called the \"far field distance\". An estimate for this distance may be made from the formula (2 d^2)/(lambda) where d is the maximum dimension of the radiating structure. In the case of a circular dish this is just the diameter; but in the case of a rectangular horn it is the diagonal distance across the mouth. This is only an estimate, and nothing suddenly happens at the far field distance thus estimated.\nAs an example, for a 10GHz antenna having dish diameter 30 cm, the wavelength is 3 cm and 2d^2/lambda = 2*30*30/3 cm or 6 metres. This is a sizeable distance compared to the dish dimensions.\nIf we consider the Tidbinbilla dish at 6GHz, shown elsewhere in this collection of notes, the wavelength is .05 metres and the diameter 75 metres so the Rayleigh distance is 2*75*75/0.05 = 225 kilometres. Thus when the dish is pointing upwards we need to be above the atmosphere before we arrive at the far field region.\nFor this reason, it is impossible to measure the far field radiation pattern of a deep space antenna on a terrestrial antenna range. One has to resort to complete measurements of the near field response, and computer calculation to turn them into a far field pattern. Alternatively one can measure the beamwidth by scanning across a small radio star. However it is often difficult to obtain reliable measurements of the sidelobe responses.\nPart of the function of an antenna is to match the impedance of the feeder, or driving transmission line, to the impedance of free space.\nA half wave dipole presents a resistive impedance of 73 ohms to a transmission line. It also has a small inductive reactance, of about 11 ohms. (The size of the reactive part depends on the length/diameter ratio of the rods of the antenna). The impedance close to resonance varies in a similar manner to a series tuned circuit. If the dipole is shortened from lambda/2 there is an additional series capacitative impedance and if it is cut too long there is an additional series inductive impedance. Thus to make a dipole which has entirely resistive impedance it must be cut a few percent shorter than lambda/2. The precise amount of shortening needed depends on the diameter of the rod elements. In general, the amounts of reactive impedance depend on the ratio of diameter to length of the antenna rods. A good discussion may be found in R S Elliott \"Antenna Theory and Design\", Prentice-Hall 1981, pp275ff, ISBN 0-13-038356-2, in section III.\nNow we see why coaxial cable is often designed to have 75 ohms characteristic impedance.\nAs the dipole is shortened, the radiation resistance falls sharply and it becomes a very inefficient radiator. For example, Elliott (op. cit. p304) has a calculation which indicates that for a rod-radius/wavelength ratio of 0.2% a dipole has to be cut about 5% shorter than a half-wavelength long to have a vanishing radiation reactance (that is, to present an entirely resistive impedance to the feed) and that then, its radiation resistance has fallen to about 63 ohms. To put this into perspective, at a band II frequency of 100 MHz, the wavelength is 3 metres and a rod-radius of 0.2% of a wavelength is 0.6 cm so the rod diameter is about 1.2 cm, which is typical for such an antenna.\nIncidentally, those of you who try to model dipoles using NEC (Numerical Electromagnetic Code) software may find that the returned real part of the driving point impedance stays close to 72 ohms, whatever the value of the diameter/length ratio of the rods. There is an argument that this is due to the stray capacitance between the closely-spaced ends of the thick rods. The combination of shunt capacitance with the radiation resistance in series with the residual inductance provides an impedance transformer, as is found in RF power amplifiers for example. This transformer steps up the actual radiation resistance to a higher driving point resistance; at the same time the shunt capacitance resonates with the residual inductance. There is an argument that the radiation resistance which \"matters\" is the driving point resistance; however, we then find that this is critically dependent on the gap capacitance and varies with the spacing of the rods, and whether they are made from solid metal or tubes.\nThus we see that these notions about the impedance of a half-wave dipole are only a guide to what we would measure in a practical installation. Indeed, a balanced feeder of characteristic impedance about 70 ohms is impracticable; so we have to incorporate some kind of balance-unbalance (\"balun\") transition between feed and antenna. The separation of the antenna rods also affects the total antenna length and the feed characteristics, and the physical feed structure and balun affect the near-field distribution of the dipole. It is thus possible to prefer cut-and-try methods for matching practical dipole antennas over the carefully calculated nostrums of antenna theorists.\nBy the time the dipole length has reduced to lambda/10 the radiation resistance has decreased to about 2 ohms and the reactance has increased to between 1 and 5 kilohms depending on the diameter of the rods.\nAn infinitesimally short dipole is called a \"Hertzian\" dipole and is important theoretically since in practice all its properties may be calculated analytically. However, it is never used in practice because of its vanishingly low radiation resistance. For many purposes, calculations on a Hertzian dipole give a useful guide to the behaviour of longer dipoles.\nFor practical reasons, particularly in mobile applications, it is necessary to cut dipoles short or to use monopoles loaded with inductance over a ground plane. The radiation resistance of a short dipole is given by the formula Rrad = 20*(pi*L/lambda)^2 and for a lambda/8 dipole is only 3 ohms. The series capacitative impedance for this length antenna may be as much as 1000 ohms; most of the transmission line voltage is lost across this capacitative reactance unless it is tuned out. One often sees short monopoles with a coil at the foot, to provide inductive tuning for this capacitative reactance. However, this is poor policy as it puts up the Q factor and reduces the bandwidth of the antenna. The tuning can be quite critical, especially in the presence of variable near-field obstacles.\nALL the above properties of a linear passive antenna are identical whether it is used in transmit or receive mode. There is only one exception to this rule called \"reciprocity\", and that is when the antenna contains magnetically biased magnetic materials such as ferrites with resonantly rotating electron spin systems.\nThe physical reason for reciprocity is that the only difference between outgoing and incoming waves lies in the arrow of time. Since the electromagnetic equations are invariant except for the signs of magnetic fields and currents, under time reversal, there can be no difference between transmit and receive mode in the physical current and field distributions. However, if we have a magnet providing a steady bias field, under time reversed conditions we would have to reverse the direction of this bias field. But for incoming and outgoing waves, the bias field direction remains the same. Thus it is possible for the system to be non-reciprocal.\nOf course, antennas containing amplifiers, or diodes, or spark gaps, may well not be reciprocal for obvious reasons. Also, practical antenna installations having metal-oxide-metal contacts, \"rusty bolts\", dry soldered joints and other electrical contact imperfections are also likely to behave differently under transmit and receive modes of operation.\nIf we recall the definition of the Quality factor or Q factor as being the ratio of the stored energy to the energy dissipated per radian of oscillation, it is clear that in an antenna the part of dissipation is taken chiefly by the radiated energy. The stored energy is held in the near field region of the antenna structure. Since the fractional bandwidth (delta f)/f is just the reciprocal of the Q factor, for a given radiated energy the Q will be smaller and the bandwidth larger if we minimise the amount of energy stored in the near field region of the antenna structure.\nOne way of doing this is to make the antenna elements fatter in relation to their length. For a very fine wire antenna, the magnetic field for a given current rises as we approach the axis of the conductor, as 1/r, where r is the radial distance out from the conductor. Thus making dipole antennas out of thick rods rather than thin wires is a good method of broad-banding, up to a point.\nThe biconical antenna, and its derivatives, the broad-banded Yagi, the bow-tie antenna and the phantom conical antenna (which doesn't have a complete conical surface, but just conically disposed rod elements), is a good method of broad-banding a dipole type of antenna. There is a degenerate form of biconical antenna where the rods are arranged as an X with the upper v and lower ^ fed as opposing arms of the dipole. This was very common in the early days of TV broadcasting, and was also relatively broadband compared to a simple dipole. A variant of this kind of X antenna had the upper and lower arms of the > as a dipole, and the < as a reflector. The radiation pattern had a maximum in the direction away from the reflector, but again the antenna structure was more broadband than a simple H antenna. It was also easier to construct.\nA rule of thumb is that a typical half wave dipole with sensible diameter rods has a fractional bandwidth of about 15%.\nGiven a geometrical current distribution on the antenna structure, it is relatively straightforward to calculate the radiation integrals (see any good em theory textbook) to determine the radiation patterns. Often this has to be done numerically.\nAs with all such activities nowadays, there is commercial software available for the PC platform to do this. One such site is at http://www.nittany-scientific.com/ which also has lots of useful links elsewhere around the web to these topics. I have not tried out this particular software so I cannot vouch for its ease of use or accuracy.\nThe difficulty with most antenna theory lies in determining the current distributions on the antenna conductors, given an arrangement of feeds, and the terminal voltages at the antenna ends of the feeds.\nThe Hertzian dipole is artificial in that it assumes there is a uniform current density along the arms of the dipole. There is thus an unphysical current discontinuity at the ends of the arms, which cannot be realised in practice. However, given a uniform current distribution, the properties of the antenna are reasonably straightforward to calculate. That is why this unphysical situation is so often presented in textbooks.\nAn equivalent problem pertains in simple loop antennas. Here it is often assumed that the current is constant around the loop. That is only a reasonable assumption if the loop perimeter is short compared to a wavelength. There is capacitance between the opposite sides of the loop which can carry displacement current, which results from a build up of charge due to the voltage drop around the loop which has inductive impedance. One can easily see that although there is only a single continuous conductor, the current does not have to be the same everywhere around the loop, as some of it goes to charge the stray capacitance.\nNormally, self-consistent calculations are used to calculate together the current distributions and the radiated fields. The \"method of moments\" is popular. In this method the antenna structure is spilt up into a number of regions, on each of which the current distribution is assumed uniform. The integral equations for the antenna then reduce to solving (what may be a quite large) matrix equation. This is well adapted to computer solution. There are issues of accuracy, and sensitivity to the model framework assumed. This method is also used to work out radar cross sections of complicated objects such as helicopters and aircraft.\nIn a reflector-aperture antenna fed from the front by a sub-reflector and/or a feed, the far field radiation pattern can be calculated from the Fourier Transform of the field distribution across the aperture, accounting as well for phase variations across the illuminated area. The side lobe behaviour of a reflector antenna is particularly well-suited to this calculation method. A process known as \"Apodisation\" (after \"apod\" = \"without foot\") tapers the amplitude (\"amplitude taper\") illumination across a dish reflector antenna so that there are no sudden changes of excitation amplitude, especially at the edges of the reflector. We recall from Fourier Transform theory that sudden changes in a function give rise to the presence of high frequencies in the Fourier Transform. In this particular case the sudden change in spatial illumination gives rise to high spatial frequencies in the transform, which directs the energy well away from boresight as the \"spatial frequency\" translates into the deviation of the propagation direction from boresight.\nThere is a good discussion of the sidelobe suppression process by using apodisation techniques in volume 1 of the book \"The Handbook of Antenna Design\", publishers Peter Peregrinus, 1982, on behalf of the British IEE, editors A W Rudge, K Milne, A D Olver and P Knight, ISBN 0-906048-82-6, table 1-3 page 43. As always there is a trade-off, in this case the beamwidth of the main beam is increased by some tens of percent depending on the illumination profile, for the benefit of reducing the sidelobe levels. For reference purposes, this table 1-3 is reproduced here with minor modifications.\nFor a circular reflector antenna of diameter D, fed with radiation of wavelength lambda, r = fractional distance from the centre of the dish towards the rim.

(Gaussian profile approximation?)\nIn array antennas, consisting of a number of identical or similar elements driven in synchronism, the problems are very similar to those encountered in filter design situations. Again, one needs to find the individual currents on each element. Often it is assumed that if the elements are identical, the currents must be also. However, consider the situation where there are four dipoles arranged in a straight line. Two of these will be end elements, and two will be interior elements. The coupling impedances between the adjacent elements will thus be different, and the currents necessarily different also.\nSince the Fourier Transform method mentioned in the previous sections has an inverse, it is in principle possible to start from a knowledge of the required far-field radiation pattern, and also knowledge of the desired geometry of the source structure supporting the generating currents, and use inverse transform methods to derive the geometrical distribution of current amplitudes and phases on the source structure which would give rise to the desired far-field pattern.\nOf course, whilst this is in principle no more difficult than is calculating the forward Fourier Transform to derive the far field pattern from the source currents, the difficulty, as always, from a practical point of view, comes in setting up the calculated amplitudes and phases of current elements on the specified source structure from an appropriate feed structure.\nHere we list some of the common types of antenna. Apart from exotic applications, such as the banana tree, most antennas consist of a juxtaposition of conductor and insulator, which may be dielectric or it may be air or free space. This is not necessary; any structure which will support a current on its surface, or guide or modify the direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave, may be pressed into service as a kind of antenna.\nA dielectric lens may be used in front of a horn feed in a similar manner to a physical optical glass lens; but its action is then to modify the wave velocity, and therefore the curvature of the wavefront across the antenna.\nThis class of antenna contains important technology for satcoms applications.\nThe simplest kind of aperture antenna consists of a tapered waveguide transition in the form of a \"pyramidal horn\".\nThis kind of pyramidal horn aperture antenna is very important in the laboratory, as it is one of the few types of antenna whose boresight gain may be very accurately calculated (to within 0.1 dB). Consequently, it is used for producing reference field strengths and for calibrating the gains of other antennas.\nA variant on the rectangular pyramidal horn is the circular horn feed. Such an aperture antenna is commonly used with a circularly symmetric waveguide mode (not the lowest mode in circular guide, NB) to produce uniform illumination of a Cassegrain antenna, which has a circular reflector dish of much larger diameter than the feed. The large reflector dish produces higher gain. The circular waveguide feed can also be used to produce circular polarisation.\nMost ground based small broadcast satellite receiver dishes have a small horn feed of low gain placed at the focus of a dish between 0.5 and 1 metre diameter. Often the feed is offset from the boresight direction of the reflector dish; this \"offset feed\" arrangement directs the main beam away from the feed, and this results in less blockage and improved sidelobe performance.\nIf the main beam in a Cassegrain antenna hits the feed, or the sub-reflector, it will be diffracted around the obstacles and radiation will be scattered or diffracted into the sidelobe directions. The effective area of the dish is reduced, and the interference with other satellite systems from the sidelobes will be increased. This is not so important in deep space antennas. If we look at the Tidbinbilla deep space tracking antenna, we see there are two reflectors between the main feeds and the main beam. The sub-reflector at the focus of the large 75 metre dish is convex. The feeds are pointing along boresight, and are arranged to have a bean divergence angle which is just sufficient completely to illuminate the sub-reflector. The sub-reflector returns the energy to the main reflector, and again the reflections are arranged so that there is minimal spillover at the edges of the dish, although maintaining uniform illumination as far as is possible.\nThe feeds are also conveniently located at the centre of the main dish, which moves little as the dish is steered. This has mechanical advantages, and makes the final HPA and LNA electronics more accessible for servicing.\nAperture antennas such as this are used in \"very long baseline interferometry\" methods. Here, two or more high gain large antennas, having large collecting areas, are separated by many hundreds of kilometres, and used to synthesise an aperture array having the diameter of the baseline separation of the dishes. Radio astronomers use these systems to pinpoint the location of radio sources to great accuracy in elevation and azimuth.\nIf we want to increase the gain of a dipole antenna we can add another dipole antenna alongside it. This is the simplest form of array antenna.\nWhy is the gain increased, and what is the boresight gain of this \"two element array\"?\nFirst, we assume the antennas are fed in phase with each other and spaced lambda/2 apart. Considering the radiation in a direction which is normal to the plane containing the dipoles, the contribution from each element arrives in phase with the other. The field strength in this direction is double that for one element, so the radiated power density, which is the square of the field strength, is four times that for one element. However, the two elements together are fed with twice the power of a single element. The increase in gain is therefore a factor 4/2 = 2.\nThis calculation scales with the number of elements. If we use a 10 by 10 array, the boresight power gain is increased by a factor of 100, which is the number of elements. The field strength is 100 times more along boresight than for a single element, so the power density is 10,000 times greater. But 100 times the power is being fed to the array compared with a single element, so the gain increase is a factor of 100 as stated.\nThis gain increase is over and above any boresight gain of the individual elements. If we start off with an array of 100 horn feeds at 10GHz, of size 14 cm by 14 cm each, their intrinsic gain is about 20dB and the array factor gives an additional power gain of 100 which is 20dB so the combined structure has a boresight gain of 40dB or so.\nNow consider, are we \"getting something for nothing\" or does this increased gain along the boresight come at the expense of gain elsewhere in the radiation pattern? The answer is clearly that the array concentrates the total radiated power along certain directions at the expense of others.\nIf we go back to our 2 element dipole array, spaced lambda/2, there can be no radiation along a line joining the centres of the two dipoles as their contributions are in anti-phase in this direction, there being a lambda/2 path difference to get from one to the other.\nIn general then, the element pattern times the array pattern equals the total radiation pattern of the arrangement. What is the array pattern? It is the pattern you would observe for a set of isotropic radiators spaced as the array elements are actually spaced, and fed with the same amplitudes and phases of signals that the actual array elements receive.\nIf you want to read more about the fascinating subject of array antenna design, consult R S Elliott [op cit].\nThe argument presented in the section above just happens to be correct when the elements are spaced by lambda/2.\nHowever, for other spacings of the elements, we run into difficulties. Really what we should do is to integrate the array pattern over the sphere surrounding the antenna, to find the averaged isotropic radiated intensity, and then compare that with the intensity on boresight.\nThis is the approach taken by Constantine Balanis in his book on Antenna Theory and Design. He finds that the gain enhancement depends not only on the number of isotropes, but also on their spacing.\nClearly, if we have N isotropes collected together in a very small region much less than a wavelength across, then the radiation pattern (given uniform and equal excitations of each element) will be a good approximation to a sphere, and the maximum directivity must be just 1, as it is for a single isotropic element, and not N as predicted by the arguments above.\nWhat Balanis says is that a good approximation to the maximum directivity Dmax is given by\nfor N elements spaced d apart. We see that this reduces to N, quoted above, when d = lambda/2 and the spacing is a half-wavelength.\nIf we use two aperture antennas, spaced by a great many wavelengths, as an interferometer, the fringe spacing will be of the order of the angle subtended by an object of diameter one wavelength at a distance equal to the separation of the aperture antennas. For example, at 10GHz the free space wavelength is 3cm or 0.03m, so if we separate the antennas by 3000km or 1E8 wavelengths, we can resolve radio sources about 1E-8 radians across, or about 2 milliseconds of arc. By comparison, the beam width of one of the aperture antennas will be of the order of the angle subtended by a wavelength of radiation at a distance equal to the diameter of the reflector. Thus, if we considered a system where there were two 30 metre diameter antennas separated by 3000km, there would be (3E6)/30 = 100,000 interference fringes within the main beam of one of the apertures. Of course, the sensitivity of the interferometer is still governed by the total capture area of the two dishes; but the resolution is now comparable with that of a dish of diameter 3000km.\nThe interference fringes from these two circular dishes will form parallel straight lines across the circular beam, as can be seen in the pictures below:-\nTwo circular apertures spaced a distance apart\nMeasurements on antennas are difficult. The behaviour of an antenna is best seen by monitoring the reflection coefficient with a network analyser over a band of frequencies, and for convenience a frequency about 1 GHz is appropriate. At 1 GHz a wavelength is 30 cms; the antenna is a reasonable size and it is possible to investigate the effects of adjacent objects, and different feed lengths, without too much difficult physical manipulation. The results may safely be transferred to other frequency bands by thought and analogy.\nWhen this is done, one rapidly appreciates that an antenna can not be considered as a closed, isolated component having well-defined properties. Nearly every electronic measurement on an antenna is grossly affected by its environment and physical mounting. One might well ask the question, \"What is an antenna?\", or equivalently, \"Where does the antenna stop and the outside world begin?\". A sensible answer to this question is to consider all objects inside the near field as contributing to the radiation.\nA helpful example is a Yagi-Uda antenna. We might regard this as a simple dipole with lots of resonant rods placed in the near field. But if we just consider the properties of the driven \"antenna\", namely the driven dipole, we know we will be grossly in error in assessing the performance of the installation. So why should we stop considering the effects of metallic structures at the end of the boom? We should add in the scattering from the mast, guys, feed (outer coaxial shields can carry induced current) and even dielectric objects (like the chimney stack or adjacent building) in the near field.\nMany people now have access to software which accurately simulates antenna behaviour. To do this it is necessary to construct a model. The process of \"modelling\" is critical to this enterprise as the simulation has limitations of accuracy depending on the kind of model chosen. In itself, the software is essentially accurate and useful. However, the results it returns, for simulation of real antennas, depends critically on what is built into the model. It is not usually possible, in the NEC2 and miniNEC and NEC4 software, to add in all the local effects which will affect the results. This is not just because it is too difficult; there are difficulties in principle, knowing the correct dielectric and conductivity parameters to put in for a real-world installation. Details of the feed arrangement are also difficult to get right. So it is often difficult to know if the results from the simulation of the model represent the real behaviour of the antenna it was intended to investigate. The process of running the software always returns a result, and the internal checks on validity, while possible, are subtle. Belief in the results often dissolves into a matter of opinion or faith. This can be the subject of strongly-held views, which can only be resolved by recourse to measurements.\nThus, simulation should be regarded (taking the most cautious view) as merely a rough guide to an antenna's behaviour in a real installation. Any modelling process needs careful validation by measurements. One is then presented with the choice of which to believe, if there is disagreement.\nI have seen people worry about 1/10 dB in gain in a simulation. This is probably unsound, and one wonders how many hundreds of hours people spend (no doubt happily) in this kind of activity.\nAn anonymous committed modelling expert tempers the remarks above with the following comment.\nDepending upon the conditions of use and application, NEC can be quite accurate. Under some conditions of application, accuracy deviation of dimensions has run to well under 1% in some design projects. In others, accuracy of construction guidance can be considerably off. The real question is this: what are the conditions for each kind of case? However, that question requires an application-by-application analysis, not a wholesale posture toward modeling.\nYes, but application-by-application analysis usually requires experimental measurements to be made to validate the models.\nConsidering this italic comment, what can be said with confidence is that an unvalidated antenna model is not necessarily a good guide to how a practical antenna may behave.\nOne of the thrusts of the complex-systems research reported elsewhere on these pages (see complexsim.html, for example) is that simulations are only of use if one knows they are going to be accurate before one validates them against measurements. Most people using antenna models are making extrapolations from validated simulations to applications that they believe to be similar. It is the thesis presented here that this method of proceeding is unsafe and unwise in many cases.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "1. The Science Behind Solar Energy\n1.1 Photons and Solar Radiation\nSunlight is composed of tiny packets of energy called photons. These photons are produced through nuclear fusion reactions in the sun’s core. Every second, trillions of photons travel from the sun to the Earth, providing us with the energy necessary for life. Solar radiation is the primary source of energy for the planet, and it can be harnessed to generate electricity for our homes through a process called the photovoltaic effect.\n1.2 The Photovoltaic Effect\nThe photovoltaic effect is the phenomenon by which light is converted into electrical energy. This process was first discovered by a French physicist, Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel, in 1839. In simple terms, the photovoltaic effect occurs when photons of sunlight strike a material, typically a semiconductor like silicon, and knock electrons loose from their atoms. This flow of electrons creates an electrical current, which can be captured and utilized to power our homes.\n2. The Solar Panel\n2.1 Anatomy of a Solar Panel\nA solar panel is a collection of components designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. The main components of a solar panel include:\n2.1.1 Solar Cells\nThe most crucial part of a solar panel is the solar cell, which is responsible for converting sunlight into electricity. Solar cells are made of semiconductor materials, usually silicon, and consist of two layers: the N-type (negative) layer and the P-type (positive) layer. When sunlight hits the solar cell, the photovoltaic effect causes electrons to flow between the layers, creating an electrical current.\n2.1.2 Glass and Frame\nSolar panels are also made up of glass, which protects the solar cells from the elements and allows sunlight to pass through to the cells. The frame, typically made of aluminum, provides structural support and facilitates mounting.\n2.2 Types of Solar Panels\nThere are several types of solar panels available on the market, each with their own advantages and disadvantages:\n2.2.1 Monocrystalline Panels\nMonocrystalline panels are made from a single crystal of silicon, making them highly efficient in converting sunlight into electricity. They have a sleek black appearance and are more expensive than other types of panels.\n2.2.2 Polycrystalline Panels\nPolycrystalline panels are made from multiple silicon crystals, which results in a lower efficiency compared to monocrystalline panels. They have a blue appearance and are more affordable than their monocrystalline counterparts.\n2.2.3 Thin-Film Panels\nThin-film panels are made by depositing a thin layer of semiconductor material onto a substrate, such as glass or metal. They are less efficient than crystalline panels but can be more flexible and lightweight. These panels are often used in applications where weight and flexibility are important factors, such as on curved surfaces or portable solar devices.\n3. From Solar Panels to Home Electricity\n3.1 The Solar Inverter\nOnce the solar panels have converted sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, the solar inverter plays a crucial role in transforming that DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the standard form used by most household appliances. Solar inverters come in different types, such as string inverters, microinverters, and power optimizers, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.\n3.2 Electrical Panel and Meter\nAfter the solar inverter has converted the electricity to AC, it is then sent to the electrical panel, sometimes referred to as the breaker box. The electrical panel distributes the electricity to different circuits in your home, powering your appliances and devices. When your solar energy system produces more electricity than your home needs, the excess power is sent back to the grid through your utility meter. Many utility companies offer net metering, a system that credits homeowners for the excess electricity they generate, which can offset electricity costs during times when the solar panels are not producing enough power.\n4. The Impact of Solar Energy\n4.1 Benefits for Homeowners\nSolar energy provides numerous benefits for homeowners, including:\n- Lower energy bills: By generating your own electricity, you can significantly reduce your reliance on the grid, leading to lower monthly utility bills.\n- Energy independence: Solar power allows you to produce your own electricity, reducing your dependence on fossil fuels and contributing to a more sustainable energy future.\n- Increased property value: Homes equipped with solar energy systems often have higher property values and are more attractive to potential buyers.\n4.2 Environmental Benefits\nIn addition to the financial benefits, solar energy also offers several environmental advantages:\n- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source that helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change.\n- Conserving natural resources: By utilizing sunlight as a source of energy, we can reduce our reliance on finite resources like coal, oil, and natural gas.\n- Promoting sustainable development: Solar energy is an important component of a sustainable energy future, fostering innovation, job creation, and improved public health.\nThe process of converting sunlight into electricity is an incredible scientific feat that has become increasingly accessible to homeowners around the world. From the photovoltaic effect to the solar inverter and electrical panel, each step in this journey is essential for harnessing the power of the sun and providing clean, renewable energy for our homes. By investing in solar energy, homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills, increased property value, and a reduced environmental footprint, all while contributing to a more sustainable and greener future.\n1.How efficient are solar panels at converting sunlight into electricity?\n- Solar panel efficiency typically ranges from 15% to 22%, depending on the type and quality of the panel.\n2. Do solar panels work on cloudy days or at night?\n- Solar panels still produce electricity on cloudy days, but their output is reduced. They do not produce electricity at night since there is no sunlight to convert.\n3. How long do solar panels last?\n- Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, but their efficiency may decrease over time.\n4. How much does it cost to install solar panels on a home?\n- The cost of solar panel installation varies depending on factors such as location, system size, and incentives available. On average, the cost can range from $15,000 to $25,000 before incentives and tax credits.\n5. Are there any government incentives or tax credits for installing solar panels?\n- Yes, many countries offer incentives and tax credits to encourage the adoption of solar energy. In the United States, for example, there is a federal tax credit called the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which allows homeowners to claim a percentage of their solar installation costs as a credit on their federal income taxes. Additionally, many states and local governments have their own incentive programs to further support solar adoption.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Some babies are born with a lot of hair, and others come into the world with a completely smooth skull. This is a phenomenon that worries parents who are wondering when their baby's hair will finally appear. The color of the hair will also become a big debate in the family, since everyone will want to know what beautiful hair this baby has inherited.\nSome babies are born with a lot of hair on the skull. However, that does not mean they will keep them for the next few months. With the effect of hormones, but also because of recurrent long recumbent positions in newborns, the hair falls during their first months of life. It is therefore important to know this so as not to have false hopes, but also to understand that nothing is definitive in babies.\nThe same goes for the color that can also change over the months. Your baby can come into the world with lots of black hair and finally become blond later.\nOf course, and like all the physical characteristics of your child, genes play an important role. While it's hard to predict the future color of your baby's hair in advance, you can still get closer to the truth by watching yourself. If you both have the same hair color, then there is a good chance your baby will inherit it. If, on the contrary, your hair colors are very different, then it may have a hue between the two. Of course, these words are to be taken with much hindsight, because genetics is an extremely complex science, so it is difficult to predict exactly.\nNo need to rush on your child from birth to see the color of her hair, since it can still change at all. During the first six months of your child, he will still have on his skull his first hair that will eventually fall to make room for new hair, which will already give an impression of his future color. Anyway, no need to shout victory too quickly, since the final hair color is only visible from 18 years.\nEven after this, it is not uncommon to see hair continue to darken, especially because the presence of eumelanin (type of melanin brown to black) continues to increase with age.\nThe color of a human hair is determined by the type and concentration of a pigment called melanin. There are several types of melanin in hair. The concentration of one of the types of melanin, called eumelanin, gives the hair a black or brown color, and if this concentration is very low, the blond color. The concentration of another pigment, called pheomelanin, gives the red color.\nThe type and amount of melanin in hair is determined by many genes. The most studied gene that determines hair color in humans is called \"MC1R\". This gene provides instructions for the manufacture of a protein called \"melanocortin receptor type 1\", which is involved in the creation of melanin. This receptor controls the type of melanin produced by the melanocytes. When this receptor is activated, it triggers a series of chemical reactions within the melanocytes that stimulate the production of eumelanin.\nIf this receptor is not functional, the melanocytes produce pheomelanin instead of eumelanin. Many other genes also help regulate this process.\nMost humans have two functional copies of the MC1R gene, inherited from each of their parents. These people have black or brown hair, due to the large amount of eumelanin present in the hair. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of human have brown or black hair!\nSome people have variations of a copy of the MC1R gene in each cell who deactivates the gene. For these people, the production of eumelanin is lower, while the production of pheomelanin is higher, which gives them a light brown, blond or red color.\nThe color of the hair can change over time. And especially for people from European origin. For example, children with blond hair often have darker hair when they become teenagers. The researchers speculate that some hair pigment proteins are activated as children grow older. With age, our hair turns gray when the hair follicle loses its ability to produce melanin.\nDid you know that redheads represent only 1 to 2% of the world's population? So if this is your natural color, rejoice! Many blond, chestnut and brown women who want to go red through a permanent color. If this atypical color was subject to some mockery in the playground, it now takes a nice revenge, especially with celebrities.\nIn addition, the red keeps its pigments longer and delays the appearance of white hair.\nMake no mistake, rare are naturally blonde women (1 in 20 women!). And for good reason, the blond is linked to recessive genes. That is to say, it takes two determining this character, one from the father, the other from the mother.\nIf this color fascinates so much, it is because it would be a sign of youth, sweetness, but also of seduction. Men do not they have a penchant for blondes?\nLighter than red, but brighter than blond, this original shade has been a great success for centuries. Already in the Renaissance, women thinned their hair with saffron and lemon to get that almost red color. Today, this color pleases women for its delicacy, warmth and good-looking effect!\nThe dominant hair color is black, sometimes tinged with a brown sheen. This color is mainly prevalent in Africa, West Asia and the mixed populations of South America. The black color is also found in Asia, China, India, and Japan and among the Amerindian populations.\nThe Mediterranean populations are more brown in color, and black is very present. As one goes back to Europe and Central Asia, the hair becomes lighter: chestnut, red and blond appear. The hues are becoming lighter going back to Russia, Scandinavia and the Baltic states, with blond being the dominant color among them.\nThis distribution does not take into account population movements and migration, which brought these different colors around the world.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "An AlGaN/GaN Based UV Photodetector Simulation Using COMSOL® to Obtain the Fresnel Coefficients\nOver the past two decades, extensive research has been conducted on ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) because of their potential applications across various fields including military, medicine, environmental monitoring, and deep space explorations. To fabricate solar-blind UV PDs materials, wide band gap semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGa(1-x)N) are typically used. To design a typical UV PD, so far there are four types of device structures that are widely investigated in the literature. They are Schottky type, metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) type, p-i-n type, and avalanche type. Each of these device types are realized by using either GaN or AlxGa(1-x)N. In this paper, a novel GaN-AlxGa(1-x)N-GaN vertically stacked cantilever has been proposed to function as a UV PD. The proposed cantilever has been modeled in COMSOL® to compute the Fresnel coefficients such as absorptance, reflectance, and transmittance in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 500 nm by utilizing the Wave Optics Module in COMSOL®.\nThe 3D geometry of the GaN-AlxGa(1-x)N-GaN cantilever is shown in Fig. 1. Instead of simulating the entire 3D geometry, to simplify the problem a 2D longitudinal cross-section at the tip region of the cantilever is used, as shown in Fig. 2. The thickness of the AlxGa(1-x)N and top and bottom GaN layers is 20 nm, 3 nm, and 1 µm, respectively. To simulate the Fresnel coefficients, the required input material property for both GaN and AlxGa(1-x)N is their refractive index. In this model, for the given 2D geometry a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave was launched in the -y axis. It was assumed that the electric (E) and magnetic (H) field components are along z and x axis respectively. As the H-field components are along the x axis, a perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) boundary condition was applied on both sides of the 2D geometry.\nUsing the wavelength domain study, Fresnel coefficients were computed in the given wavelength range. Simulations are also performed for two different cases. The results obtained from these studies are shown in Figs. 3&4 respectively. The first case is to study the effect of bottom GaN layer thickness variation on the absorption property of the cantilever. The thickness of the bottom GaN layer is varied from 0.1 to 2 µm with a step size of 0.1 µm. From the simulation results it has been observed that as the thickness of the bottom GaN layer increases from 0.1 µm to 0.8 µm, the cantilever absorptance increased monotonically from 74.77% to 86.52% with Al alloy composition remaining fixed at 19%. But for thicknesses > 0.8 μm the absorptance profile remains basically unchanged. We also studied the effect of Al alloy composition in AlxGa(1-x)N on the absorption properties. From the simulation results it has been observed that as the Al% in AlxGa(1-x)N increases from 19% to 78.5%, the cantilever absorptance also increased monotonically. Specifically, at 300 nm wavelength as the Al% is increased from 19% to 78.5%, the absorption percentage is increased from 86.5% to 91% for a GaN thickness of 1.3 µm.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The story of India’s military victory over Pakistan in Bangladesh is celebrated year after year as an example of India’s military power, the political decisiveness of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, how the Nixon administration in the U.S. failed to “scare off the Indians”, and how the erstwhile Soviet Union stood by India through the entire crisis.\nThen there are unfair criticisms and baseless myths: how the political class (led by Mrs. Gandhi) did not manage to convert the military victory into a political one in Simla on the Kashmir question, and that India had wanted to break up Pakistan as soon as the crisis in East Pakistan had started.\nFormer Indian diplomat Chandrashekhar Dasgupta’s brilliantly researched and equally well-written new book India and the Bangladesh Liberation War is a conclusive response to many of those lingering criticisms and myths. On whether India had pre-planned the break-up of Pakistan, Dasgupta argues, quite convincingly and with solid evidence, that “far from planning to break up Pakistan, Indian policymakers hoped, right up to 25 March 1971, for a peaceful transition to democracy in Pakistan and the installation of an Awami League-led government in Islamabad.”\nThe Kashmir issue\nBut the real contribution of the book, in my opinion, is how Dasgupta debunks the fallacious but popular argument in India that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had sweet-talked Mrs. Gandhi into not pressing for a conversion of the Line of Control (then Ceasefire Line or CFL) into an international border in exchange for the 90,000-odd prisoners of war under India’s command at the time. Dasgupta argues that “at every stage in the Simla conference, India specifically reserved a final settlement of the Kashmir issue for future meetings. India did, indeed, push for an eventual settlement on the basis of the Line of Control, but Indira Gandhi feared that an immediate agreement on these lines would expose her to the charge that she had ‘surrendered’ Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.”\nLet me explain this argument a little more. While India did not push for the conversion of the CFL (or ceasefire line) into an international border, it managed to gain several diplomatic victories at Simla. For one, the change of the nomenclature of the line from CFL to LoC meant that since December 1971 Jammu and Kashmir has a new dividing line. This, according to India, means that the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) which was monitoring the CFL since 1949 had no role to play in Kashmir after the Simla agreement was signed since the UNMOGIP was not party to the creation of the LoC, and the CFL which was monitored by the UN group didn’t exist anymore. Secondly, by agreeing to “to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them”, India also ensured that the Kashmir conflict ceased to be internationalised but became a bilateral one. Dasgupta not only sheds sufficient light on the rationale behind Mrs. Gandhi’s decision at Simla to not push for a conversion of the CFL into an international border but has effectively laid the controversy to rest.\nOne could, however, argue that the victorious Indian side could have pushed for the delineation of the Siachen Glacier area. Recall that the LoC has only been delineated to a point called NJ 9842 (by the 1949 Karachi agreement) which is the root cause of the current dispute over the glacier. Had India, in 1972, pushed for delineating the LoC beyond NJ 9842, the Siachen dispute would not have arisen in the first place. But then perhaps it was not possible to foresee the dispute in 1972.\nFreedom for a country\nPerhaps the most significant conceptual argument that Dasgupta makes, with solid evidence again, is how Indian policymakers stitched together a multidimensional grand strategy to achieve the liberation of Bangladesh. Dasgupta defines grand strategy as “a comprehensive and coordinated plan for employing all the resources available to a state — diplomatic, military and economic — to achieve a defined political objective”. The book also, somewhat indirectly, prompts one to raise several questions about India and its experiments with grand strategy.\nThere is little doubt that what we witnessed in 1971 was one of those rare moments when India articulated and implemented a grand strategy. The Kargil conflict was another example when India was able to press its military, political and diplomatic resources to successfully beat back Pakistani territorial aggression. These were of course crisis moments and India performed well. Yet what is it about us that we manage to get our act together only when there is a crisis? For sure, a crisis demands a grand strategic response, but the real test of a country’s ability to adopt grand strategic responses is whether it is able to do so consistently, thoughtfully, and in the long term, in less politically riveting situations.\nAt the end of the book, I was left wanting a little more on the decades that followed Bangladesh’s liberation, reasons behind India’s inability to cement its strong relationship with Dhaka, among other things. Nevertheless, Dasgupta’s book is a masterclass on India’s role in the Bangladesh liberation war and must be read by every observer of Indian diplomacy and foreign affairs. This book, along with his earlier tome, War and Diplomacy in Kashmir, 1947-48, makes him one of the best diplomat historians of our times.\nIndia and the Bangladesh Liberation War; Chandrashekhar Dasgupta, Juggernaut, ₹625.\nThe reviewer teaches at Jawaharlal Nehru University.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "How was the classical historian Sallust read in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and what does this reveal about medieval moral thought? These are the questions Philippa Byrne asks in her new article (now live on the Cerae website). Philippa introduces it for us here on the blog, taking a look at how the research developed and what new questions it raised…\nL.D. Reynold’s Texts and Transmission, first published in 1983, is a book every medievalist should know. It is the starting point for working out which texts from the classical world survived into the middle ages and, roughly, in what quantities. That makes it a beacon for many newly-minted graduate students, especially those unfamiliar with medieval texts beyond the one they are working on and who are trying to determine whether an author’s use of Lucan, Seneca, Quintilian (etc) is unusual for their time and place, and thus worthy of further investigation and commentary. Opening Reynolds is the first step towards establishing which classical texts survived into the middle ages and where and when they were being read. It is the best kind of guide, providing the lay of the land before one moves onto more specialised texts like catalogues of monastic libraries.\nReynolds sets down one of the ‘big questions’ for medieval scholarship—a big question long before 1983, and which will remain so far into the future—what parts of the classical world survived into the middle ages, what was preserved and copied, and who had access to it? The question I try to address in my article is one which follows on from that. We have a fairly good understanding of how much of the Roman historian Sallust (d. 35BCE) survived into the middle ages: but how was he read, and which parts of him were read and redeployed? Sallust embodies the way in which that classical inheritance was most like a box of Lego bricks: the constitutive parts could be broken down and used as the building-blocks of a new set of structures.\nMy article began in the course of reading two twelfth-century chronicles: the History of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague and a history of Sicily written by an author we know as Pseudo-Hugo Falcandus. These are works separated by some considerable geographical distance, yet both made similar use of similar parts of Sallust: how did they have access to it? That last, Sicilian text, was particularly interesting to me: we know very little about the author known as Pseudo-Hugo and so a consideration of its sources provides one way into an analysis of the work. The same set of Sallustian quotations and ideas key popping up in other authors, like Gerald of Wales.\nThus the genesis of this article was the question of what appeal that part of Sallust had to authors writing in strikingly different political contexts. The chronological spread was also interesting to me, as a researcher interested in the timing and structure of the phenomenon sometimes called the ‘Twelfth-Century Renaissance’: these Sallustian quotations are evident in the 1080s and continue to be used into the later thirteenth century. This spread is testament to the continuing importance and enduring appeal of classical texts even in the period after the reception of new Latin translations of Aristotle in the mid-thirteenth century. Even when one had Aristotle’s Politics, one could still reach for a text like Sallust to make a political point—he still retained his status as a political auctoritas; that was something which did not die off in the central middle ages only to be revived in the Renaissance proper. (There is nothing medievalists like more than undermining early modernists’ claims to newness: it is why we get up in the morning.)\nMy article has, admittedly, a narrow focus—it peers through a small window, trying to determine how a couple of paragraphs of Sallust were received, how they might have fitted into a broader intellectual and political culture. I have no doubt the same thing could be done with many other parts of many different classical texts. Examining their afterlife in greater detail will be surprising—undoubtedly many classical texts were not being used in the ways we assume. The significance of seemingly minor passages may balloon; new themes may come into view.\nI had one final thought when editing this article. Modern everyday English conversation is littered with widely-known quotations: ‘show me the money’, ‘let there be light’, ‘to boldly go where no-man has gone before’, ‘once more into the breach’ (to pick a random sample). We insert them into our own conversation to entertain or to allude to a different set of ideas. Perhaps (and psychologists and anthropologists are better placed to argue this than I), this is a fundamental feature of human thought and speech. But we use them as medieval antecessors did: wrenched from context, deployed in a new and constructive way, appealing to a shared formation and common body of ideas that might rarely be explicitly recorded or expressed. Like these medieval authors, we are also making new things out of old.\nUniversity of Oxford\nFeature Image: Luca Signorelli – Sallust – Fresco, 1499-1502, Chapel of San Brizio, Duomo, Orvieto", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Maybe you regard the whole idea of pooping as icky and weird and you’d rather not think about it. Or maybe the topic fascinates you.\nThe facts of the matter are: We all poop, our food is the fuel that keeps our bodies going and the composition of that fuel is very important to the state of our health, and checking out the characteristics of our poop provides valuable information about our health.\nThis post was spurred by some of the more unusual information about poop I’ve come across on the journey this website and blog about the gut microbiome has taken me on.\nSOME INFORMATION ABOUT OUR POOP (EverydayHealth, 2014)\nCOMPOSITION OF OUR BMs:\nAbout 75% water. A smelly combination of fiber, living and dead bacteria, other cells and mucus. Soluble fibers from foods like beans and nuts that have been broken down during digestion to form a gel-like substance. Foods packed with harder-to-digest insoluble fiber (such as carrots, corn and oat bran) may emerge looking pretty much unchanged.\nThis depends on what we’ve eaten. For instance, beets produce bright red stool, leafy veggies can cause green stool and some medications can turn out white or clay-colored stool. Jet-black poop could be from having taken iron supplements or having eaten black licorice – or it could be a sign of bleeding in the upper GI tract.\nPerfect human poop is log- and slightly S-shaped, not broken up into pieces. These are the ones that easily slide out of the body when we go. That ideal shape is achieved by eating enough fiber to bulk up the stool and act as glue to keep it together on its way out of the body. Pencil-thin poops might be a sign of rectal cancer narrowing the opening the stool has to pass through.\nParticularly pungent smelling BMs are often a sign of infection. For example, anyone who’s suffered through a Clostridium difficule infection can tell you if it has returned by the particular smell of their poop. Terrible-smelling poop likely indicates the presence of the parasite giardia in the stomach, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s or celiac disease.\nSome doctors say we should have a good poop every day. Others say the important thing is that you poop at a rate that’s consistent for you. A significant decrease in output could be the result of eating less fiber or working out less often. A decrease or increase in output could come from a GI disorder, an overactive or underactive thyroid, or colon cancer. Culture can also play a role: Indians in South Asia produce three times as much poop as the British due to the higher fiber content in the typical Indian diet. The average American man produces about one-third of a pound of poop daily – the equivalent of 5 tons in a lifetime.\nFood typically takes anywhere from 24-72 hours to make the trip from mouth to anus. Diarrhea is your stool on speed – the result of food passing much too quickly through the large intestine, where most of its water content gets absorbed. Loose stool can be the result of stomach viruses, food-borne illness, food allergies or intolerances, or other digestive problems.\nConstipation occurs when the stool takes too long passing through so its water content becomes much reduced.\nPOOP SHOULD SINK\nFloaters are often an indication of high fat content in the stool, possibly from malabsorption of the fat and nutrients from your food. They’re often associated with celiac disease or chronic pancreatitis. Vegetarians and vegans often have floaters too.\nHaving some gas is normal. It’s produced as bacteria in the colon break down the food passing through. The body absorbs some of this gas into the bloodstream. From there it gets breathed out through the lungs. The rest of it gets expelled from the other end. The American College of Gastroenterology says it’s normal to pass gas 10-18 tunes a day.\nA fecal transplant involves placing stool from a person with a relatively healthy gut microbiota in the colon of a person infected with a Clostridium difficile infection or someone with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to stop debilitating diarrhea. The trillions of good (probiotic) bacteria in the healthy person’s stool can help re-colonize the ailing digestive tract of the sick person.\nREADING ON THE TOILET\nStudies indicate a positive correlation between time spent on the toilet and developing hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels inside and around the anus). The longer you’re sitting there trying to poop out hard stool, the more pressure you’re exerting on those vessels. Hard stool is generally a result of a diet containing too little fiber. Americans consume an average of 10-15 grams of fiber a day. We should be consuming 30-35 grams to keep us regular, prevent constipation and hemorrhoids.\nPOOP ON CELL PHONES\nWash your hands well with soap and water after using the toilet or you may be spreading a bit of poop around via your phone. British researchers collected samples from 400 cell phones in 12 cities and found 1 in 6 of them were contaminated with fecal matter.\nStill want to keep your cell phone next to your plate while you’re eating?\nOTHER INTERESTING POOP INFORMATION\nThe Parrot Fish eats coral and poops out sand, helping create many of the small islands and beaches in and around the Caribbean.\nScientists were monitoring whale stress levels by analyzing their poop and found that their stress was greatly reduced immediately following the 9/11 attacks. It turns out this was due to all air traffic being halted, which calmed the oceans of external low frequency noise. Whales communicate with each other at these low frequencies.\n3 billion people around the world still relay on charcoal and dung to cook their food.\nIn the early years of the 20th century, the voluminous shit produced by horses used for drawing carriages and delivery vans was causing so much pollution in city streets that automobiles were regarded as a healthier alternative.\nWombats, those adorable Australian marsupials, have cube-shaped poop which they use to remember where they live.\nJapanese toilet manufacturer giant, Toto, has produced a motorbike that runs exclusively on human poop. The bike also writes messages in the air as it whizzes along – and the toilet storage tank can talk.\nToto hopes the bike will help raise awareness about human poop in the environment and lead to a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions in bathrooms by 2017.\nThe creative Japanese again – there’s an exhibit at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo called TOILET!? HUMAN WASTE & THE EARTH’S FUTURE. It features a giant toilet bowl slide and provides children with poop-shaped hats. Aside from being fun, its goal is serious – to teach visitors about human waste and toilets and especially to draw attention to the 2.5 billion people worldwide who don’t have access to sanitation or toilets.\nYou can read about the museum here. The article also has some wonderful videos.\n3-TOED SLOTHS AND THEIR ODD POOPING HABITS (Soniak, 2014) (Thompson, 2014)\n3-toed sloths spend most of their time hanging around chilling out in trees amid the tropical rainforest canopy in Central and South America. They are very slow moving, live on the green leaves growing on their home tree, have very slow metabolisms … and poop only once a week. That’s unusual – and so is this: They slowly make their way down their tree to the rainforest floor to take that weekly dump.\nScientists have pondered why the animals would leave the safety of the treetops and risk getting eaten by predators just to take a shit.\nA Mammalian Ecologist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison named Jonathan Pauli says, “It’s like if you had to go to the bathroom, and you were programmed to go run a 5K on an interstate before you could go to the bathroom. It’s really risky, and it’s really energetically costly.”\nThat weekly trek also uses up a hefty proportion of their daily energy production.\nSo why do they do it?\nScientists have several theories about this:\nPooping near a sloth’s home tree fertilizes the tree’s roots.\nIts poop notifies other sloths of its location so they can mate.\nThe most complicated theory has to do with the variety of organisms that make their home in sloths’ thick fur: algae, fungi, arachnids and insects – including moths from the genus Cryptoses, AKA sloth moths. These moths depend on their host sloth’s weekly poop trek. Females lay their egg’s in the sloth’s dung. The emerging larva then feed on the dung until they become adults, when they fly up to move into the fur of their own sloth.\nResearchers’ thinking is that the sloths are just as dependent on the moths. They found that sloths having more moths on them also had more nitrogen-rich hair and more algae growth. Analyzing the contents of the sloths’ stomachs, the researchers found the algae in there had been easily digestible and was rich in carbohydrates, proteins and fats.\nSo maybe the risky pooping process keeps the moths around and provides the sloths with a nutritious supplement to their nutrient-poor leaf diet .\nAnd perhaps you thought your toilet habits might be a bit odd ….\nHere’s a video about these sloths and why they do what they do: The Strange Pooping Habits of a 3-Toed Sloth\nAnd another video offering some other possible explanations: Mystery of the Pooping Sloth – Science on the Web #55.\nThanks to Kelley O’Donnell for telling me about sloths and their mysterious poop habits.\nThis is my earlier post about poop: THE LOWDOWN ON POOP.\nEBaumsWorld.com.

{"text": "Biomedical engineering sophomores Jessica Ashmead and Annicka Carter are getting a first-hand look at what it takes to invent and commercialize a medical device. They developed a surgical retractor with a battery-powered LED in a freshman bioengineering class at the University of Utah. They call it the OptiGuide. So far, they have received national recognition for their efforts and started the patent process with hopes of eventually selling their device to hospitals across the country.\nThe young women started the project in spring 2011 while in a class called “Invent.” Their assignment was to come up with a concept for a product, then spend the semester researching and developing their idea.\n“After talking to local surgeons about the effectiveness of current lighting in an operating room, we discovered that there was room for improvement,” says 20-year-old Carter. “Although the light intensity in the operating room is great, shadows occupy the actual surgical cavity, making it more difficult than expected for surgeons to see what they are doing. We decided to design a tool that would get the light as close to the surgical cavity as possible.”\nTheir device only exists as a basic prototype today, but they have filed a provisional patent application with help from the U’s Technology Commercialization Office. A provisional patent application is a placeholder for a full patent application, which they know is much more difficult to put together. The students also received $5,000 and an honorable mention at the national Collegiate Inventors Competition on Nov. 15 in Washington, D.C.\n“Next we are going to really research what the market wants and build an even better prototype so we can apply for a full patent next May,” 20-year-old Ashmead says. “This experience has motivated me to want to invent devices that really make a difference in the world. I want to do well in school, so I can get a job that allows me to do that all the time.”\nOther similar medical retractors exist in the marketplace, so it is a big hurdle for OptiGuide to secure a full patent and market their device while proving how their retractor is unique. The team just started working with the Technology Commercialization Office to address this question, but they hope the OptiGuide’s battery power supply and the position of the lights is enough to make their device distinct.\nProfessor Holly Holman taught the class where Ashmead and Carter first came up with their idea. Holman mentored the young women and encouraged them to enter the Collegiate Inventors Competition after noticing their dedication and the potential for the OptiGuide.\n“They really stood out because they had the most detailed notebooks, and they made a prototype on their own during the semester, which was not part of any assignment for the class,” says Holman, who accompanied the students at the award ceremony in Washington, D.C. and continues to mentor them. “It was always a treat when they came to ask me questions, because they were so enthusiastic about their idea.”\nThe Collegiate Inventors Competition is organized by Invent Now, a national nonprofit organization, and it is open to university students from across the country. Eighty graduate and undergraduate teams entered the competition this year — of those, 11 became finalists. The OptiGuide team was different for being one of the few finalists to be composed of freshmen or sophomores. During the final judging in Washington, D.C., the students presented their ideas before a prestigious panel of inventors, including National Hall of Fame inductees Marcian Hoff (microprocessor), Alois Langer (implantable defibrillator) and James West (electret microphone).\nA team from Yale called 3derm won the competition and the $12,500 grand prize for a handheld device that takes 3-D images of skin lesions or other abnormalities. Other finalists were from schools including Johns Hopkins, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Cincinnati, Boston University, Harvard, the University of California-Los Angeles and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.\nOptiGuide was also a finalist in the annual techTITANS competition at the University of Utah. TechTITANS is one of several idea and business competitions offered through the Lassonde Entrepreneur Center and the David Eccles School of Business. Related competitions include Opportunity Quest (a business summary competition) and the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge (a full business plan competition). These programs and courses like Invent are designed to inspire students to become inventors and entrepreneurs.\n“It’s amazing what these young women have been able to accomplish with the help of their faculty mentors and the innovative programs offered at the U,” says Troy D’Ambrosio, director of the U’s Lassonde Entrepreneur Center who works closely with student teams like Ashmead and Carter. “The University of Utah has been very successful at attracting exceptional students and cultivating a culture of innovation that helps inspire students and faculty to invent new products and start companies.”\nThe Lassonde Center works closely with the Invent class. Its involvement includes providing a prize for the winners of a competition at the end of the year.\nThe Technology Venture Development office also supports related programs and services at the U. It coordinates all commercialization activities across campus, from invention disclosures and patents to startup formation and licensing. It also sponsors many programs that help students learn about innovation and entrepreneurship.\nFind more information about the Collegiate Inventors Competition at http://www.invent.org/collegiate/.

{"text": "A firewall is a system security framework intended to avert unapproved access to or from a private system. Firewalls can be actualized as both equipment and programming, or a blend of both. System firewalls are much of the time used to keep unapproved Internet clients from getting to private systems associated with the Internet, particularly intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet go through the firewall, which inspects each message and obstructs those that don’t meet the predefined security criteria.\nFirewalls can be either equipment or programming however the perfect design will comprise of both. Notwithstanding restricting access to your PC and system, a firewall is additionally valuable for enabling remote access to a private system through secure validation testaments and logins.\nEquipment firewalls can be bought as an independent item however are normally found in broadband switches, and ought to be viewed as a significant piece of your framework security and system set-up. Most equipment firewalls will have at least four system ports to associate different PCs, however for bigger systems, a business organizing firewall arrangement is accessible.\nProgramming firewalls are introduced on your PC, similar to any product program, and you can modify it; permitting you some power over its capacity and assurance highlights. A product firewall will shield your PC from outside endeavors to control or obtain entrance your PC.\nFirewalls may likewise be a segment of your PC’s working framework. For instance, Windows Firewall is a Microsoft Windows application that informs clients of any suspicious movement. The application can recognize and square infections, worms, and programmers from unsafe movement.\nFirewalls are utilized to secure both home and corporate systems. A common firewall program or equipment gadget channels all data getting through the Internet to your system or PC framework.\nBy and by, numerous firewalls utilize at least two of these procedures in show. A firewall is viewed as a first line of resistance in securing private data. For more noteworthy security, information can be encoded.\nAs far back as Microsoft has discharged the most recent renditions of their Windows Firewall, there has been perplexity with respect to “which arrange” would it be advisable for me to design and when? To compound the situation, Microsoft changed the names of these arrangements, yet not the definitions. I felt it was important to explain when you would design each setting and what each setting really does. After this article, I trust that you will have the option to arrange Windows Firewall settings for your servers and work areas, realizing that they will all capacity appropriately regardless of what “organize” they are clearly associated with.\nThere are different areas where you can discover the “organize” settings related with Windows Firewall. From a similar area of Windows Firewall design, you can discover the “arrange” settings for which you have to design how the PC is interfacing with “a system”.\nFor the most part, you will discover these settings inside the Windows Firewall applet by means of the Control Panel. Obviously, with the adjustments in the names and in general GUI for Windows Firewall over the past working frameworks, each working framework will look somewhat changed. Since most associations are moving to Windows Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2, just as Windows 7 for the work area, we are going to concentrate on these three working frameworks.\nWindows Server 2008 is moderately new, yet despite everything it has some more seasoned interfaces which are simply not completely created and this is particularly valid for the “arrange” setups. At the point when you open up the Windows Firewall applet on Windows Server 2008, you will see an interface like that in Figure 1.\nNotice in Figure 1 that you can see the system area (it is expressed as “Space Network”), yet you don’t see the setups for the other system alternatives. You do have a connection marked “What are arrange areas?” which will take you to a page depicting each type. We will cover these choices in the following area.\nMicrosoft rolled out some sensational improvements to the Windows Firewall interface with Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. Presently, every one of the three of the system area settings are shown inside the Windows Firewall applet through the Control Panel, as appeared in Figure 2.\nAnother area you will discover the system area settings for your Windows Firewall is by means of an Administrative Tool named “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security”. This instrument is new, and is reliable from Windows Server 2008 up to the most up to date working frameworks. Thusly, this may be the best area to go to search for how the three settings are arranged. At the point when you dispatch the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security choice through the Administrative Tools menu choice, the subsequent Window will resemble the one appeared in Figure 3.\nYou can arrange the system area choices by tapping on the connection at the base of the Overview segment marked Windows Firewall Properties, which will open up the Window appeared in Figure 4.\nFigure 4: Windows Firewall Properties page.\nThere are as of now three system area alternatives: Domain systems, Home or work (private) systems, and Public systems. These are moderately self-evident, however the disarray is still there, so how about we take a gander at every one of the definitions and subtleties around every alternative.\nSpace Networks – This setting is applied when the PC is associated with an area controller, which is controlling a Windows area.\nPrivate Networks – This setting is applied when an association with a system for which the PC’s record isn’t related with. This can be an alternate space or home system. A PC must be joined to each area in turn, so if the PC isn’t joined to the Domain arrange, it must be joined to a Private or Public system. It is proposed that the Private system profile of settings be more prohibitive than the Domain arrange profile of settings.\nOpen Networks – This setting is applied when an association with an area is made through an open system, for example, at an air terminal, lodging, or coffeehouse. Since the security of these systems is obscure and not so much constrained by the client running the PC, it is proposed that the Public system profile of settings be more prohibitive than either the Domain system or Private system.\nAdvantages of various “Systems”\nThe purpose behind having these three system choices is the way that you can arrange system and firewall rules for each system exclusively. In this way, as a PC moves starting with one condition then onto the next, or an area is accessible or disengaged, the PC security and system conduct will change naturally.\nThe firewall settings for each “organize” type can be arranged either locally utilizing the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security interface or by utilizing Group Policy by means of Active Directory. Either strategy will bring about a PC expanding security when the “organize” they are associated with changes. You can see the Group Policy interface for arranging the three system settings in Figure 5.\nSince there is the ability to control each profile, firewall rules, and connection security rules locally or via Group Policy, there are settings that give admins control when there might be a dispute between the two. Each profile has customization options which allow for merging of the firewall rules and connection security rules. You can find this by clicking on the Customize button under the Settings section of the interface shown on Figure 5. The resultant interface is shown in Figure 6.\nFirewalls called cutting edge firewalls (NGFW), work by separating system and Internet traffic dependent on the applications or traffic types utilizing explicit ports. Cutting edge Firewalls (NGFWs) mix the highlights of a standard firewall with nature of administration (QoS) functionalities so as to give more astute and more profound assessment.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "It is not easy to tell whether a cat is not drinking enough. There are, however, a few indicators that may help you: Basically, a cat's water requirements depend on its age, weight and size, its food, the room temperature, its level of physical exertion and any illnesses. Therefore, only an average value can be given, which is 55 millilitres per day and kilogramme (body weight). A cat weighing five kilogrammes therefore needs around 275 millilitres of water. If it eats around 250 grams of wet food a day, it will already consume 200 millilitres of water (assuming the food has an 80 percent moisture content). Therefore, the cat only needs to drink an additional 75 ml of water. If, on the other hand, it is only given dry food, the amount required is significantly higher.\nIf you are not sure whether your cat is drinking enough, you can measure the amount of water provided and check the remaining amount with a measuring cup 24 hours later.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Opened on October 11, 2013\nPanel discussion on the exhibition Dec. 7th at 3PM\nRaúl Ayala, La Buruquena, Miguel Caraballo, Danny Torres, Marina Gutiérrez, Maria Dominguez, Paola Nogueras, and Miguélàngel Ruíz\nThis survey exhibition brings together reinterpretations of a central figure in Puerto Rico’s culture – the Vejigante. Having evolved from a figure of mystery and mischief in carnivals and festivals in Puerto Rico, the Vejigante has developed into a symbol of cultural identity, resilience, and resistance. The artists in the exhibition range from the traditional to the contemporary, from the basic role of vejigantes as celebratory figures to iconic messengers of personal statements.\nPuerto Rico’s vejigantes (bay-he-GAHN-tay) are known for their colorful costumes with bat-like wings, the inflated animal bladders they carry, and by their masks with three or more horns. There are two distinct vejigante styles coming from two regions and two differing celebrations. One is from the city of Ponce in the South of Puerto Rico with masks made of papier-mâché, associated with the celebrations of Carnival. The second style is from the town of Loíza, far to the North, with masks made from coconuts and identified with the Feast of Santiago in late July. Both though are mysterious, mischievous characters that have become symbols of cultural identity, resilience, and resistance.\nPonce’s vejigantes have a connection with Carnival, a festival that begins in early February, just before Lent. In Carnival, the vejigantes just like in Loíza, are reveling characters that interact with the crowds and cause mischief with the inflated bladders they carry. With their characteristic snouts, sharp teeth, and multitudes of horns, Ponce’s vejigantes cast a distinctive silhouette to this internationally-celebrated festival.\nIn Loíza, the vejigantes represent the Muslim Moors in the Catholic festival of the Feast of Santiago. This festival, also known as the Festival of Saint James, celebrates the ouster of the Moors from Spain. In Loíza, the festival lasts three days, and its roots can be traced back to a legend of the discovery of the statue of Saint James outside of the town. Some explain their inclusion in the religious festival as a symbol of the ongoing battle of good over evil. No matter the history, Loíza’s population (primarily of African descent) views the vejigante as a strong, and unapologetic character with a history of survival and a connection to Africa that they can relate to.\nThis exhibition of craftsmen and contemporary artists shows how this figure that is such an integral character in these festivals has become an iconic symbol that unifies and identifies the people of Puerto Rico. These artists perceive the vejigantes from many different perspectives: as a nationalist hero; a character that brings into focus issues of Latino identity; a creature that is used as a surragate to discuss the life and death struggle of living with AIDS; a symbol that brings a community together with its visage or captures the imagination with its mystery. For these artists, the vejigante has evolved into something much more than a playful festival figure – it has become the living incarnation of the Puerto Rican spirit with all its vigor, resilience and jubilant ferocity.\nThe artists and artisans:\nRaúl Ayala, from the town of Loíza in Puerto Rico, is an authority on the traditional Loíza style vejigante mask, characterized by caretas made from coconut shells and commonly seen with buckteeth and three horns. Ayala comes from a multi-generational family committed to maintaining the dance and music festival traditions of this region as well as its mask making art form. In Loíza, the vejigante not only participates in carnivals but also in the Feast of St. James the Apostle (Fiestas de Santiago Apóstol) in the third week of July. In this festival, the vejigantes are accompanied by people dressed as caballeros (knights) in recognition to the Spanish origins of the festival where they celebrate the Christian Castilians’ ouster of the Muslim Moors from Spain. Some interpret the festival as a metaphor for the eternal battle between good and evil. The majority of Loíza’s population is of African descent and views the vejigantes not as evil, but as a link to their African heritage. Ayala’s masks are famed for their beauty, construction, design and the large number of horns.\nLa Buruquena, (which is the Taíno word for the sweet water crab that lives in Puerto Rico) was born in Abington, Pennsylvania and currently works out of New York City. He is a self-taught artist and uses the vejigante as a relatable cultural icon. Through its colors and sensibilities, the vejigante helps him connect to his Puerto Rican heritage- yet its distinctive appropriations of religious and foreign motifs also bring him into conversation with the world around him. He describes his art-making process as a search for understanding through the exploration of our differences and similarities in all senses: individually, communally, religiously, symbolically and otherwise. His papier-mâché masks are often painted in muddied colors and incorporate surprising materials such as feathers, barbed wire, and chains. In his manifesto, he describes his process as Surreformationism and aims to challenge perceptions and religious absolutism while confronting intolerance and ignorance. With his methodology, he hopes to create a platform that can be uplifting to a person’s sense of self worth. (laburuquena.com)\nMiguel Caraballo, from Ponce, Puerto Rico, is considered a traditional master and teacher in this region’s mask making art form. He works in the traditional Ponce-style careta (mask) papier-mâché construction with long snouts and a multitude of horns. Caraballo played an important role in resuscitating the vejigante mask making tradition when the popularity of latex and plastic masks in the 1970’s & 80’s threatened to extinguish the craft and traditional inclusion in the island’s carnivals and festivals. His masks are admired for both their aesthetics and the high quality of their craftsmanship.\nMaria Dominguez was born in Puerto Rico and moved to New York City when she was four years old. After graduating with a BFA from the School of the Visual Arts in 1985, she began working as a teacher, arts administrator, artist and muralist. In response to community changes and the increasing cost of living pushing out the Puerto Rican and Latino communities in Spanish Harlem and the Lower East Side of Manhattan, her murals with vejigante masks were placeholders and identifiers of the people living in the neighborhoods. (mariadominguez.com)\nMarina Gutiérrez, born in and working out of New York City, creates art that blends studio, community and installation practices. In the use of cultural iconography from her father’s native Puerto Rico, she acknowledges syncretism and its effects of displacing, hiding, forgetting, and reinventing of identity. Her work is often comprised of commonly used materials, such as cans, textiles, and wire mesh. In this exhibition, Gutiérrez introduces La Vejigante, a work that is part of her “Body Mask” series, which investigates the dualities of concealment and display associated with historical narratives and constructions of identity.

Ruíz is currently working in video and performance. In his paintings and comic books, he portrays his protagonist “Awutok-Thon, El Vejigante – Luchador,” as a man transformed into a demon who uses his power to fight for justice, truth and freedom. Through fusing mythology and graphic novels, he has created a universe where he can comment on the power’s corruptive qualities and bring historical events to light in a way that is easily digested by popular culture. (miguelangelruiz.us)\nArtist Danny Torres, who resides in North Philadelphia, was born in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. He is an art teacher, political activist, and self-taught artist who is known for his paintings and murals. In his work, Torres’ vejigante assumes the role of a “freedom fighter” reflecting his political aspiration for an independent Puerto Rico. Torres’s vejigantes are strong, masculine creatures that embody his culture’s African and indigenous roots and will for survival.\nDownload a PDF of the exhibition handout here.\nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous support of:", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Dr. Kathy Soder, USDA-ARS Pasture Systems and Watershed Management Research Unit, University Park, PA 16802.\nForage Brassicas are annuals that can be utilized as pasture during the spring, summer, and fall grazing seasons. Forage brassicas include varieties of rapeseed (rape), radish, turnip, swede, kale, and hybrids. Brassicas are quick maturing and can be grazed 60 to 120 days after planting, depending on species. Brassicas are able to produce up to 4 tons of DM/acre, and varieties of turnip, radish, and swede produce a highly palatable and nutritious tap-root that can be grazed during the last rotation of the season.\nBrassicas can be established into an existing pasture sod by overseeding using a no-till drill. Prior to drilling, any remaining forage should be grazed or clipped to a height of approximately 3 – 4 inches. Brassicas can also be established into a prepared seedbed as a monoculture or as an annual mixture. However, a cultipacker should be used prior to planting to ensure proper planting depth. Plots should be fertilized at time of planting.\nBrassicas are high quality feedstuffs that contain a high crude protein concentration, but also high net energy of maintenance and total digestible nutrient concentration. In dairy cattle, a mixture of turnip and forage sorghum was shown to increase milk yield, milk solids, and milk protein in cattle during summer compared with sorghum alone; however, a reduction in milk fat was seen. Brassicas have also been reported to increase average daily gain of beef cattle and sheep compared with other cool-season forages.\nForage brassicas are most commonly grazed. They can also be stockpiled, ensiled, or fed as greenchop. Due to the low dry matter, haying is not an option. Successful grazing management can be accomplished through strip or rotational grazing. Once forage has reached ~14”, animals can begin to graze. This can vary depending on species and variety used. If multiple grazings are desired, forage should not be grazed below a height of 6 – 8 inches. The root-bulb of turnip, radish, and swede can be grazed during the last grazing rotation of the season. If ensiled, a higher-dry matter forage should be included to ensure proper fermentation and reduce nutrient losses.\nThe diets of livestock with high production/growth rates (e.g. lactating dairy cattle, stockers) brassicas can be used as a daily feed ingredient (not exceeding 50% of daily dry matter intake). In other classes of livestock (e.g. non-lactating dairy cattle, cow-calf pairs), brassicas should be treated as a supplemental feed due to the high energy content of the forage and grazing should be limited to only a few hours/week.\nBrassicas are an acquired taste and naive animals should be allowed limited access to brassicas for the first week of grazing. Brassicas are a high-moisture, low-fiber feedstuff and should not be more than 50% of the daily diet of any livestock. A high-fiber feedstuff should be included with brassicas. This can be achieved by giving access to low-quality hay, allowing access to perennial pastures, or planting brassicas as a mixture with other forages.\nBrassicas are an excellent forage for cattle, sheep, goats, swine, and poultry. Equine species should not be fed brassicas due to concerns with toxicity. A trace mineral that includes copper and iodine should be fed to livestock to prevent possible deficiencies and small ruminants tend to be more susceptible than cattle. Sheep copper requirements are lower than that of other ruminants, thus copper supplementation of sheep should be done with care, especially if co- grazing multiple species. Nitrate poisoning and bloat have been reported in ruminants consuming only brassicas. Due to off-flavor, a withdrawal period of 4 hrs prior to milking and 7 days prior to slaughter is suggested; the withdrawal time will decrease as brassicas decrease as a percent of the total animal diet.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Does your snowing keep your partner awake? Snoring could be considered a sleep disorder, although it’s not you (the snorer) that suffers from insomnia because of it but your partner.\nSnores are breath sounds that most people produce during sleep. Acoustically, snoring is attributed to the vibration of the anatomical structures in the pharyngeal airway. It is characterized by loud breathing in the upper airways without the absence of breath.\nLike insomnia, snoring can be classified into mild, moderate or severe. Such classification is based on frequency, body position and disturbance for other people (i.e., spouse, sleeping partner).\nAs the degree of severity increases, the snorer has a greater risk of having an upper airway dysfunction which may lead to sleep apnea (the cessation of airflow to the lungs during sleep). Because of this, people with a snoring condition should try to find ways to relieve it or prevent it from happening.\nTactics to stop snoring\nOne of the most effective anti-snoring techniques is losing excess weight. The pressure of extra flesh on the airway makes night-time breathing difficult. In fact, researchers suggest that snoring is positively related to one’s Body Mass Index (BMI); meaning, as one’s BMI increases, a person is more likely to snore.\nAnother effective technique against snoring is to sleep on your side. This will prevent your tongue from falling back into the throat and blocking the airway.\nFinally, you could try avoiding alcohol and sedating medications (i.e., painkillers) because they can relax your throat muscles too much and increase the likelihood of snoring (and sleep apnea).\nYou could also try anti-snoring devices. For instance, a chin strap keeps your mouth shut and forces you to breathe through your nose. If devices like this do not work, various surgeries are also possible that can permanently widen the airway.\nSo if your snoring is keeping your partner or other people in your house awake, then there are steps you can take to stop yourself snoring. Research suggests that one’s snoring condition may become a nuisance to others (e.g., insomnia can be attributed to a sleeping partner who snores). To avoid this, you should try the tactics to stop snoring suggested above or even consider surgery. After all, you will not only be helping yourself to sleep better but other people too.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Environmental groups sue to protect ribbon seals\nANCHORAGE - Ribbon seals should be listed as threatened or endangered because global warming is quickly melting sea ice, which the seals depend on for several months each year, two environmental groups said in a lawsuit filed against the federal government in San Francisco on Thursday.\nThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in December denied a listing under the Endangered Species Act for the seals found off the coasts of Alaska and Russia.\nThe Center for Biological Diversity and Greenpeace sued in U.S. District Court, claiming the agency ignored the best science available on global warming. Shaye Wolf, a Center for Biological Diversity biologist, said her group had hoped NOAA officials would change its conclusions with a change in presidents.\n\"We've seen no change here,\" she said. \"The Obama administration is continuing the flawed and head-in-the-sand policies of the Bush years.\"\nNOAA spokeswoman Connie Barclay in Washington, D.C., had no immediate comment on the lawsuit.\nRibbon seals are found in the Bering and Chukchi seas off Alaska and the Sea of Okhotsk off Russia. Ribbon seals are distinguished by the patterns of their fur that gives them the coloration of a panda bear: white bands or ribbons that encircle the head, base of the trunk and two front flippers over a dark coat.\nFederal biologists estimate the population at about 200,000 globally with a Bering Sea population of 100,000 or more. During summer and fall, ribbon seals live entirely in the water, foraging on fish, squid and crustaceans.\nFrom March through June, the seals rely on loose pack ice in the Bering and Okhotsk seas for reproduction and molting, and as a platform for foraging.\nRibbon seals give birth and nurse pups, which can't swim, exclusively on sea ice. Newborn ribbon seals have a coat of soft, white hair called lanugo that provides insulation until they grow a thick layer of blubber. Pups can survive submersion in icy water only after they've formed the blubber layer.\nDiminished sea ice due to early melting also could affect molting adults, according to the groups. New hair can only grow when ribbon seals are out of the water where skin can reach higher temperatures.\nNOAA officials in December said climate models project annual ice will continue to form for the seals each winter during the critical birthing and molting period.\nThe lawsuit claims the agency is taking too shortsighted of a look at the animals' plight, projecting ice loss only until mid-century.\nWolf said the agency's own data indicates sea ice extent by 2050 will decline by 40 percent in April and 55 percent in May. That by itself is a significant loss of key habitat, she said.\n\"Imagine if that downward projection were extended beyond 2050, how much more ice the ribbon seal would lose,\" she said.\nIt's irrational to look only 43 years ahead, she said, when reviews for polar bears and other species use climate projections out 100 years.\nThe agency also did not consider whether climate change and ice loss could affect a distinct population segment of ribbon seals.\n© Copyright 1996-2009 The Washington Post Company\n|Photo © Paul S.

{"text": "A M35 helmet on display inside the Historisch Museum Rotterdam in Rotterdam.\n|Place of origin||Germany|\n|Used by||See Users|\n|Wars||World War I|\nChinese Civil War\nWorld War II\nStahlhelm (plural Stahlhelme) is German for \"steel helmet\". The Imperial German Army began to replace the traditional boiled leather Pickelhaube (spiked combat helmet) with the Stahlhelm during World War I in 1916. The term Stahlhelm refers both to a generic steel helmet, and more specifically to the distinctive (and iconic) German design.\nThe Stahlhelm, with its distinctive \"coal scuttle\" shape, was instantly recognizable and became a common element of military propaganda on both sides, just like the Pickelhaube before it. Its name was also used by the Stahlhelm, a paramilitary nationalist organization established at the end of 1918.\nAfter the war, the German Bundeswehr continued to call their standard helmet Stahlhelm, but the design was based on the American M1 helmet. The Bundesgrenzschutz, however, continued to use the original German design, until either troop switched to the new M92 Aramid helmet.[clarification needed]\nAt the beginning of World War I, none of the combatants were issued with any form of protection for the head other than cloth and leather caps, designed at most to protect against saber cuts. When trench warfare began, the number of casualties on all sides suffering from severe head wounds (more often caused by shrapnel bullets or shell fragments than by gunfire) increased dramatically, since the head was typically the most exposed part of the body when in a trench. The French were the first to see a need for more protection--in late 1915 they began to issue Adrian helmets to their troops. The British and Commonwealth troops followed with the Brodie helmet (a development of which was also later worn by US forces) and the Germans with the Stahlhelm.\nAs the German army behaved hesitantly in the development of an effective head protection, some units developed provisional helmets in 1915. Stationed in the rocky area of the Vosges the Army Detachment \"Gaede\" recorded significantly more head injuries caused by stone and shell splinters than did troops in other sectors of the front. The artillery workshop of the Army Detachment developed a helmet that consisted of a leather cap with a steel plate (6 mm thickness). The plate protected not only the forehead but also the eyes and nose.\nThe design of the Stahlhelm was carried out by Dr. Friedrich Schwerd of the Technical Institute of Hanover. In early 1915, Schwerd had carried out a study of head wounds suffered during trench warfare and submitted a recommendation for steel helmets, shortly after which he was ordered to Berlin. Schwerd then undertook the task of designing and producing a suitable helmet, broadly based on the 15th-century sallet, which provided good protection for the head and neck.\nAfter lengthy development work, which included testing a selection of German and Allied headgear, the first Stahlhelms were tested in November 1915 at the Kummersdorf Proving Ground and then field tested by the 1st Assault Battalion. Thirty thousand examples were ordered, but it was not approved for general issue until New Year of 1916, hence it is most usually referred to as the \"Model 1916\". In February 1916 it was distributed to troops at Verdun, following which the incidence of serious head injuries fell dramatically. The first German troops to use this helmet were the stormtroopers of the Sturm-Bataillon Nr. 5 (Rohr), which was commanded by captain Willy Rohr.\nIn contrast to the Hadfield steel used in the British Brodie helmet, the Germans used a harder martensitic silicon/nickel steel. As a result, and also due to the helmet's form, the Stahlhelm had to be formed in heated dies at a greater unit cost than the British helmet, which could be formed in one piece.\nGermany exported versions of the M1935 helmet to various countries. Versions of the M1935 Stahlhelm were sent to Republic of China from 1935 to 1936 and M1935 helmet was the main helmet of the Chinese Nationalist Army during World War II. Spain also received shipments of the helmet. During the inter-war years several military missions were sent to South America under the command of Hans Kundt, after Chaco War the Bolivian army used to wear the helmet up until recently. The exported M1935 helmets were similar to the German issue, except for a different liner.\nSome countries manufactured their own helmets using the M1935 design, and this basic design was in use in various nations as late as the 1970s.\nThe Germans allowed and assisted the Hungarians in copying their design of the M1935 steel helmet. Therefore, the WWII-produced M38 Hungarian steel helmet is nearly identical to the German M1935. Both have the same shape, riveted ventilation holes, and the classic rolled edge. Differences include a different liner and different rivets position - the cotter pins are situated behind the ventilation holes. A square metal bracket is riveted on the rear, above the back brim; used to secure the helmet to the knapsack while marching. It was typically painted in Hungarian brown-green, albeit blue-grey versions existed. It is sometimes called the \"Finnish M35\" due to their extensive use by the Finnish Army during the Continuation War 1941-44.\nAfter the end of World War I Poland seized large quantities of M1918 helmets. Most of those were later sold to various countries, including Spain. However, at the end of the 1930s it was discovered that the standard Polish wz. 31 helmet was unsuitable for tank troops and motorized units; while offering decent protection, it was too large and heavy. As a stop-gap measure before a new helmet was developed, the General Staff decided to issue M1918 helmets to the 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade, which used them during the Polish Defensive War.\nDuring the time of the Warsaw Uprising the helmet was also worn by the members of the Polish Home Army and it was during this time that the helmet became the symbol of the resistance, as every Stahlhelm worn by the soldier of the underground army signified a dead German occupier it was taken from.\nIn November 1926, the Irish Defence Forces decided upon adopting the German Stahlhelm helmet. However when the Irish government contacted German Foreign Office with a request for a sample they were informed that Germany was barred from exporting steel helmets by the Treaty of Versailles. The Irish then turned to London based Vickers, ordering 5,000 copies of a model closely resembling the M1918 helmet. The helmet remained in use until it was replaced by the British Mark II model in 1940. Following the outbreak of World War II, the helmets became the subject of anti-Irish propaganda originating in Britain. A large number of the withdrawn helmets were reissued to various emergency services after being painted white.\nSwitzerland used a helmet, designated the M1918, that was roughly similar to the M1916, but had a shallower, wider and more rounded crown and skirt. This was to protect against the harsh winter winds of the alpine regions.\nThe Chilean Army was a prolific user of the Vulkanfiber models, bought before the Second World War, along with a few M1935 and Czechoslovak M1932 helmets. After the war, local production started, with plastic models still in ceremonial & garrison use today. Small runs of steel helmets were made by FAMAE in the 80's, but ultimately were not adopted due to the ascendance of kevlar helmets by that time . A Stahlhelm with crossed bayonets and the corresponding number is the standard insignia of infantry regiments.\nThe Argentine Army adopted a similar model, made of pressed fiber, during World War II, reflecting the traditional sympathy towards Germany found in many of the officers. For combat and provincial police use, imported Swiss M1918 helmet were still in service as late as 1976.\nIn the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, due to large quantities captured by World War II Partisans, the Stahlhelm was used in Yugoslav People's Army up to 1959, when it was phased out and replaced by the M59/85 steel helmet.\nAfter World War II, West Germany's Bundesgrenzschutz border guards and some West German police units kept the Stahlhelm in their inventories (police units can be seen wearing them during footage of the Black September hostage crisis in 1972), and the Fallschirmjäger variant was used for some time by the GSG 9. With the re-armament of West Germany the Bundeswehr introduced the United States Army M1 Helmet which was replaced by a Kevlar helmet (Gefechtshelm), similar to the modern US helmets, in the 1990s. German firefighter units today still use Stahlhelm-shaped helmets in a fluorescent color.\nEast Germany's National People's Army M-56 helmet was modelled on an unused 1942 German design with a more conical shape. The Chilean Army still uses the Stahlhelm design for ceremonial purposes, as well as the Bolivian Army. There are also some Japanese bicycle helmets (with accompanying goggles) that resemble the Stahlhelm. Many schools and universities in Mexico such as the Autonomous University of Baja California have military bands that use or resemble the M35 Stahlhelm.\nThe U.S. Army's 1980s and 1990s era Kevlar Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops Helmet was sometimes called the \"Fritz helmet\" for its resemblance to the Stahlhelm. The U.S. Army and Marines have continued to use a design akin to the PASGT helmet with the MICH TC-2000 Combat Helmet and Lightweight Helmet, respectively.\nSince 2012, El Salvador's Policia Nacional Civil use a navy/indigo blue-coloured helmet that strongly resembles the Stahlhelm; this helmet is used by some members of the riot-control unit and rarely used by the Police's assault teams.\nChilean honour guard next to U.S. Admiral Michael G.

The inscription says \"Putin, think or you'll end up like Hitler\".\nThe different Stahlhelm designs are named for their year of introduction. For example, the Modell 1942 which was introduced in 1942 is commonly known as M1942 or simply M42. Here, they are referred to by their M19XX names.\nThe Stahlhelm was introduced into regular service during the Verdun campaign in early 1916.\nThe M1916 design had side-mounted horn-like ventilator lugs which were intended to be support for an additional steel brow plate or Stirnpanzer, which only ever saw limited use by snipers and trench raiding parties, as it was too heavy for general use.\nThe shell came in different sizes, from 60 to 68, with some size 70s reported. Helmet weight varied from 0.98 kg to 1.4 kg, depending on shell size. The suspension, or liner, consisted of a headband with three segmented leather pouches, each holding padding materials, and leather or fabric cords could be adjusted to provide a comfortable fit. The one-piece leather chin strap was attached to the shell by M1891 chinstrap lugs, the same kind used in the Pickelhaube helmet.\nThe M1916 design provided excellent protection: Reserve Lieutenant Walter Schulze of 8th Company Reserve Infantry Regiment 76 described his combat introduction to the helmet on the Somme, 29 July 1916:\n... suddenly, with a great clanging thud, I was hit on the forehead and knocked flying onto the floor of the trench... a shrapnel bullet had hit my helmet with great violence, without piercing it, but sufficiently hard to dent it. If I had, as had been usual up until a few days previously, been wearing a cap, then the Regiment would have had one more man killed.\nBut the helmet was not without its flaws. The ventilator horns often let cold air in during the winter, requiring the wearer to block the vents with mud or fabric. The large, flared skirt tended to make it difficult for soldiers to hear, distorting surrounding sounds and creating an echo when the wearer spoke.\nOriginally painted Feldgrau (field grey), the Stahlhelm was often camouflaged by troops in the field using mud, foliage, cloth covers, and paint. Official issue cloth covers in white and grey appeared in late 1916 and early 1917. Camouflage paint was not formally introduced until July 1918, when German Army Order II, No 91 366, signed by General Erich Ludendorff on 7 July 1918, outlined official standards for helmet camouflage. The order stipulated that helmets should be painted in several colors, separated by a finger-wide black line. The colors should be relevant to the season, such as using green, brown and ochre in summer.\nAfter the effectiveness of the M1916 design was validated during the 1916 campaigns, incremental improvements were subsequently made. The M1917 version saw improvements to the liner, but was otherwise identical to the original design.\nExtensive redesigns were made for the M1918 model. A new two-piece chin strap was introduced, and was attached directly to the helmet liner rather than the shell. Certain examples of the M1918 had cutouts in the rim along the sides of the helmet. It has incorrectly been said that these cutouts were to accommodate using headphones while wearing the helmet. These cutouts were actually done to improve hearing and to reduce echo created by the large, flared skirt.\nThe M1918 Stahlhelm can be distinguished from the M1916, as the M1918 shell lacks the chinstrap rivet on the lower side of the helmet skirt found on earlier models.\nAustria-Hungary purchased about 416,000 German helmets from November 1916 until the end of the war and also began its own licensed production starting in May 1917. Around a million Stahlhelms of all variants were issued until the end of the war.\nThe Austrian M17 helmet was similar to the German M16, but was colored golden-brown (known as Isonzo-braun), had a cloth chinstrap and had the chinstrap rivet located higher up on the steel shell. From May 1917 till the end of World War I 534,013 were produced, many of which were manufactured at the Krupp in Berndorf, Lower Austria. Other production locations included:\nThe Hungarian M18 variant was similar to the Austrian M17 design, but the chinstrap rivet was smaller in size and located even higher up than the Austrian version. It was colored in golden-brown (known as Isonzo-braun). These were manufactured at the Krupp in Berndorf, Lower Austria.\nGermany delivered 5,400 visorless versions of the M1918 helmet for the Ottoman Empire. The missing front visor was thought by the Germans to be for religious reasons, and it was claimed that it was to allow Turkish soldiers to touch their foreheads to the ground during prayer, without removing their helmets. However, this story has been disputed. The Turks rejected any more than the 5,400 delivered and an unknown number from the overrun were issued to German armed forces and were used by German Freikorps units after the war.\nIn 1932 the Army High Command ordered the testing of a new prototype helmet intended to replace the older models. It was made entirely from a composite plastic material called \"Vulkanfiber\". The Model 1933 Vulkanfiber helmet kept the basic form of previous helmets, but was much lighter. It was put into limited production following favourable field tests in early 1933 and small numbers were issued to Reichswehr infantry, artillery and communications units. It was removed from service following the introduction of the M1935 helmet and most of the remaining stock were reissued to civil organizations such as fire brigades and police forces. Some examples were also retained for parade use by senior officers, who were not generally issued with the Stahlhelm.\nIn 1934 tests began on an improved Stahlhelm, whose design was a development of World War I models. The Eisenhüttenwerke company[clarification needed] of Thale carried out prototype design and testing, with Dr. Friedrich Schwerd once again taking a hand.\nThe new helmet was pressed from sheets of molybdenum steel in several stages. The size of the flared visor and skirt was reduced, and the large projecting lugs for the obsolete armor shield were eliminated. The ventilator holes were retained, but were set in smaller hollow rivets mounted to the helmet's shell. The edges of the shell were rolled over, creating a smooth edge along the helmet. Finally, a completely new leather suspension, or liner, was incorporated that greatly improved the helmet's safety, adjustability, and comfort for each wearer. These improvements made the new M1935 helmet lighter, more compact, and more comfortable to wear than the previous designs.\nThe Army's Supreme Command within the Third Reich's Wehrmacht combined armed forces officially accepted the new helmet on June 25, 1935 and it was intended to replace all other helmets in service.\nMore than 1 million M1935 helmets were manufactured in the first two years after its introduction, and millions more were produced until 1940 when the basic design and production methods were changed.\nIn 1938, the Germans developed a variant of the Stahlhelm with a wider, flared peak and ventilation holes originally intended for firefighters, civil defense, Reichsarbeitsdienst, and Luftschutz personnel. Known as the gladiator pattern, the privately purchased Luftschutz helmet was originally made from three pieces of steel and typically painted black or dark blue. Later in the war these were issued to Volkssturm personnel, and sometimes repainted in Feldgrun. By 1944, the helmets were stamped from a single steel sheet, and the original cloth lining replaced with vinyl to reduce costs. Due to the relatively small number produced, original helmets from the war years are considered rare. However, a modified postwar version in fluorescent green, white or yellow continued to be issued to rescue workers in the Bundesrepublik until the early 1990s.\nThe M1935 design was slightly modified in 1940 to simplify its construction, the manufacturing process now incorporating more automated stamping methods. The principal change was to stamp the ventilator hole mounts directly onto the shell, rather than utilizing separate fittings. In other respects, the M1940 helmet was identical to the M1935. The Germans still referred to the M1940 as the M1935, while the M1940 designation were given by collectors.\nA variant of the M1935 helmet with a shell lacking the projecting visor and deep, flared rim was issued to Fallschirmjäger (German paratrooper) units. It was so designed in order to lessen the risk of head injury on landing after a parachute jump; also to reduce the significant wind resistance and resulting neck trauma. Early Fallschirmjäger helmets were manufactured from existing M1935 helmets by removing the undesirable projections, which were omitted when the new design entered full production. The modified shell also incorporated a completely different and more substantial liner and chinstrap design that provided far more protection for German airborne troops. The chinstrap featured a four-point retention system that has come into use again by modern combat helmets such as the MICH since the late 1990s.\nThe M1942 design was a result of wartime demands. From direct orders of the Führer, to 'maintain intimidation but reduce cost'. The rolled edge on the shell was eliminated, creating an unfinished edge along the rim. This edge slightly flared out, along the base of the skirt, reducing the protection the helmet gave. The elimination of the rolled edge expedited the manufacturing process and reduced the amount of metal used in each helmet. Shell paint colors were typically matte grey-green (Heer) or grey-blue (Luftwaffe), and the decals were eliminated in 1943 to speed up production and reduce the helmet's combat visibility. Greater manufacturing flaws were also observed in M1942 helmets made late in the war.\nA simpler variant, designed in 1942 by the Institute for Defence Technical Materials Science in Berlin, was also stamped out of one piece of metal, but with sloped sides. It was similar in appearance to the British 1944 Type Mk III helmet.\nThere have been reports of a variant manufactured in the last months of the war. The M1945 was reported to have been similar to the M1942 design, but did away completely with the ventilator. These helmets are reported to be extremely rare. Many collectors and historians are of the opinion that the M1945 helmet is just a regular M1942 helmet that lacked the vents simply because of machine malfunctions in the factory, or unfinished M1942 that were completed in the post-war era.\nA variant of the M1944 with a modified suspension system, developed further into the M1956.\nThe East German M-56 helmet was originally designed in 1942 as a replacement for the M1935/M1940 model Stahlhelm. It was initially developed for the Wehrmacht by the Institute for Defense Technical Materials Science in Berlin (see M1944 above). The helmet had seen trials since 1943, but was not adopted during World War II.\nThe design was not used until the requirement for a distinct German helmet for the Volkspolizei and the National People's Army arose. The East German leadership was motivated in large part by a desire to avoid provoking the offence that using a traditional Stahlhelm design would have caused East Germany's Warsaw Pact allies (especially Czechoslovakia, Poland and the Soviet Union), but a more practical military necessity was also present due to the continued use of surplus Stahlhelms by West German units, in particular border guards. Moreover, the East Germans suspected the West could re-issue the Stahlhelm on a general basis in the Bundeswehr at any time and therefore needed a helmet that was easily distinguishable from that of their potential enemy. For both reasons, the 1942 design was likely chosen because it was the most similar of all German designs to the most recognizable Soviet helmets, in particular the iconic SSh-40 design. Such a design not only served a political purpose, but was one that NATO armies were unlikely to closely duplicate. Indeed, the M-56 was similar enough in appearance to the SSh-40 that some Westerners failed to realize its German origins altogether and assumed the East Germans had adopted a Soviet design.\nThe M-56 helmet came in three basic versions, Mod 1 or I/56, Mod 2 or I/57 and Mod 3 or I/71, and was widely sold (or given) to Third World armies.\nThe West German M-56 Stahlhelm was a direct copy of the U.S. M1 helmet. It was properly called \"zweiteiliger Stahlhelm\" (two-piece steel helmet). In 1958 the helmet was made as a one-piece helmet and renamed Stahlhelm M1A1. The M1A1 came in three sizes: 66, 68, and 71. This helmet was used until 1981 when a modified version was released and renamed the Helm1A1. Modifications included a 3-point chin strap with the third point connecting at the nape, extra large sizes, and a further adjustable liner.\nAfter Stahlhelm shells were painted, the colours of which varied by organization, small identification or insignia decals usually were affixed to one or both sides of the helmet. Almost every military, naval, and political organization had its own distinctive insignia, which was applied as decals to the sides of helmets. The right side of early M35 helmets bore the tricolored shield of black, white, and red stripes, the traditional national colors of the pre-WWI German Empire (cf. the black, red, and gold of today's Federal Republic of Germany, harking back to the 1848 Revolt). The left side of the shell often received decal insignia denoting the branch of the armed forces, or Wehrmacht, or an organization within the Nazi Party.\nThe combined Wehrmacht military forces of Nazi Germany consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (air force). While not technically part of the Wehrmacht, the Waffen-SS (\"Armed-SS\") tactically operated as such and was considered part of Germany's armed forces during the war. The same was true of some Sturmabteilung (SA) units, along with other subsidiary organizations, which functioned as part of the armed forces particularly towards the end of the war. Wehrmacht branches typically displayed distinctive emblems in the form of decals on their helmets. The Heer, or army, displayed a black shield bearing the frontal view of a silver-colored German eagle holding a swastika in its talons (known as the Reichsadler), while the navy used the same eagle emblem in gold. Luftwaffe decals displayed the side view of an eagle in flight, also holding a swastika. The SS was both a paramilitary and a political organization, and its black runic initials on a silver-colored shield (normally applied to the right side of the shell) looked like twin lightning bolts. Other military, political, and civil or defense organizations used similar decal insignia to distinguish their helmets. Such visible identification devices were gradually abandoned as the war progressed, however, so that by war's end most Wehrmacht helmet insignia had been eliminated to reduce the wearer's visibility in combat.\nFor the Chinese Nationalist Army soldiers, their M35 helmets were printed with the Chinese Nationalist Insignia in both sides.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Mollies are more difficult to keep healthy and happy than other \"beginner fish\" like their close relatives the guppies and the platys. They have smaller broods than many live-bearing fish, but still breed prolifically. If you want to try your hand at breeding mollies -- or if you want to be sure yours don't breed -- you will first have to learn how to distinguish between their sexes. Several clues can help you tell male from females, whether they're balloon mollies or other species.\nThe easiest way to tell a male molly from a female is by looking at the anal fin. If you start at the back of the fish and move forward, the anal fin is the first fin on the bottom of the fish. In the case of balloon mollies with their rounded bodies, this fin points the same direction as the caudal or tail fin. In females, the anal fin is a regular triangular fin. In male balloon mollies, the fin is rolled into a tube-shaped organ called the gonapodium. If a fish has its fins clamped against its body, it might be hard to spot, but this is still the best way to tell male mollies from females.\nIn most livebearers, the body shape can help distinguish males from females. However, the distinction is less pronounced in balloon mollies. In general, female livebearers are more rounded than their male counterparts, particular at the rear margin of the abdomen. In balloon mollies, females do have more rounded bodies. But with these particular fish, it takes a bit more practice to tell the difference between a rounded male and a slightly more rounded female. You can use this as a backup for checking the anal fin.\nMale mollies have larger dorsal fins than females. The dorsal fin is the back fin -- think of the movie \"Jaws\" if you get confused on this. Males use their larger dorsal fins for attracting the females. However, just like the body shape, the difference is less pronounced in the balloon molly than in other species and varieties of mollies. Combine this observation with those of body shape and anal fin shape to confirm your observations.\nYou can determine males from females by their behavior, too. Male mollies, like most livebearers, are constantly trying to catch the attention of females. The phenomenon takes the form of males swimming in front of female fish and flaring out their fins while shimmying. If you see a fish doing this kind of behavior, you have strong confirmation that he is a male and his immediate audience is a female.\n- Jochen Sands/Digital Vision/Getty Images", "label": "No"}

Imperialism is a state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and dominion, especially by direct territorial acquisition or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. The growth of the british empire was due in large part to the ongoing competition for resources and markets which existed over a period of centuries between england and her continental rivals, spain, france, and holland. Modern japanese history can be divided into four periods: 1600-1868: the period of the tokugawa shôguns feudal political order with economic and social change occurring in a gradual manner this period saw growing urbanization, the spread of popular education and the rise of the merchant class.

{"text": "Setting Up Your New Bird Feeder\nNeed to know what to do with that new bird feeder you just received? Follow these guidelines to keep your neighborhood birds interested and healthy.\nTo attract the right birds for your area, it's important to understand the type of feeder you have. Take a look at the box your feeder came in and match the correct type of seed, whether it be thistle, sunflower seeds, or peanuts to it for best results.\nFeeder placement is also a critical aspect of successful bird stewardship. When placing a new feeder it's not unusual for birds to take up to two weeks to locate it. If you are having problems getting birds to your existing feeder and keeping them coming, consider the following common issues:\n- If you're using a free-standing or hanging feeder away from the house, most birds will like a sense of enclosure that can be provided by a planting of shrubs or backing by a wooded area.\n- The habitat should not provide cover for or be easily accessible to bird predators such as household cats or close to nesting or roosting areas for birds of prey.\n- Be sure to use fresh seed. Since bird seed is a natural product high in oils it can often spoil if not kept in an air tight container or kept at an improper temperature. Ideally keep seed in a cool dry place, and remember that seed can spoil at different rates depending on the season.", "label": "No"}

When I became a parent, I was excited to teach my child the same lessons my single mother, aunts, and grandma taught me. Then I found out I was having a boy. Over the next few years, I added two more little boys to the mix.\nI started asking myself how I could teach them the same lessons and it hit me. Boys can learn just as much from strong women, if not more. It not only teaches them how to be better people, but inspired them with true stories, reminds them that women can do anything, and teaches them to respect women and their achievements.\nWomen’s History Month is the perfect opportunity to teach boys about strong women. While the month is focused on women and young girls, that doesn’t mean the boys should be ignored.\nInfluential women in history can teach our boys more than we think. Here are three reasons why boys should be celebrating Women’s History Month, too.\n3 Reasons Boys Should Be Celebrating Women’s History Month\n1. Inspired Boys With True Stories\nThroughout history, women have taken courageous steps to defy society’s expectations.\nSarla Thakral was the first female East Indian pilot. At 21 years old, she was the first Indian women to fly a plane! She paved the way for other women to become pilots as well.\nMildred Loving stood up for love and because of her and her husband, Virginia stopped the ban on interracial marriage.\nHarriet Tubman risked her life to help slaves get to freedom in the North.\nHelen Keller defied all odds. She was deaf and blind, but learned how to communicate, graduated college, and fought for others with physical handicaps.\nThere are so many women in history that there is always a new story to learn. Find a story they haven’t heard before and let them get inspired. Let them see how one woman’s choices have changed their own lives.\n2. Reminds Boys Women Can Do Anything\nSociety gives us the impression that men are better than women. By teaching boys about courageous women throughout time they see that the only thing that can stop a woman is her own fear. Women can do anything they set their minds to.\nMost of the women our boys will learn about this month were told at some point in their lives that they couldn’t do it. They kept moving forward anyways and now the whole world knows who they are.\n3. Teaches Boys To Respect Women\nAfter boys have learned about real life, heroic women they start to appreciate them more. They realize what women have gone through to have the same rights as men, courageous moments they’ve had in history, and how they’ve helped to change the world. As their appreciation grows, it turns into respect. Their appreciation makes them want to treat women better and to help fight for a better world for men and women.\nWhat do you think boys should be celebrating Women’s History Month?by\nLatest posts by Brittany (see all)\n- Celebrating Easter Around The World - March 12, 2018\n- Teaching Our Kids It’s Okay To Stand Out At School - September 8, 2017\n- Why Boys Should Be Celebrating Women’s History Month - March 22, 2017", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Great picture books to get kids interested in gardening\nWant to instill a love of gardening in little children? Here are some fun, colorful picture books to get kids interested.\nI have a new granddaughter arriving soon. That much-anticipated event and early signs of spring have me summoning up my earlier career as a librarian. It’s time to get this baby’s bookcase filled – with books about the garden, of course.Skip to next paragraph\nSubscribe Today to the Monitor\nThere are many fine picture books for young children – see list that follows – but I’m starting with my two favorites: Barbara Cooney’s \"Miss Rumphius\" and Peter Brown's \"The Curious Garden.\" In addition to the authors also being the illustrators, the books have a similar theme: gardens make the world better.\nMs. Cooney, who died in 2000, is among the most celebrated American children’s book author-illustrators and the winner of two Caldecott Medals, the annual prize given for the “most distinguished American picture book.” \"Miss Rumphius\" won the National Book Award in 1983.\nCalling the story one of “the closest to her heart,” Cooney writes of a little girl who sets three goals for when she grows up: to visit faraway places, to come home and live by the sea, and to do something to make the world more beautiful.\nShe eventually fulfills all three goals, but it is the third, making the world more beautiful, that is the most difficult. Until, that is, she discovers that the wind has spread the seeds of her lupines and decides to help nature by sowing lupine seeds wherever she walks until there are so many blooms that she becomes known as the Lupine Lady.\nIt’s a warm, charming story, gloriously illustrated in acrylic and color pencil. A classic.\nPeter Brown, with four picture books under his belt, promises to have a notable career. \"The Curious Garden\" is a fictional account of the wonderful new garden – High Line Park – that has been created on an abandoned elevated railway over lower Manhattan.\nIn Brown’s version, a curious young boy named Liam discovers struggling plants on a rail bed and decides to help them grow. In time, the plants take on a life of their own, spread throughout the city, and transform it from gray to green.\nAnd new gardeners pop up as well as new plants. Like the Lupine Lady, Liam not only makes the world more beautiful, he illustrates what a difference one gardener can make. Lively illustrations done in acrylic and gouache. A new classic.\nIf you’re looking to fill a bookcase, consider the following titles, all picture books written for young children.

{"text": "Death is but a natural phenomenon. And following the death of an individual, it is important to cremate or dispose of the body properly. But if you do not follow this, it could lead to many severe consequences.\nThat’s what funeral homes are actually for.\nAnd though you cannot call the bodies of your loved ones a ‘waste’, the fact is that all kinds of funeral homes generate some amount of wastes and these can be hazardous in nature.\nNo wonder, all these funeral homes too need the assistance of biohazardous waste disposal agencies to manage their generated waste.\nHere are some important points which you need to know relating the funeral home medical wastes and how these funeral homes get assistance:\n- The Major Funeral Methods\n- Types of Funeral Home Wastes\n- OSHA Regulations & Funeral Homes\n- Segmenting Funeral Home Wastes\n- How To Ensure Safety\nLet us know and understand all these points in a bit detail:\n- Major Funeral Methods:\nIn the USA, the most common form of body disposal is burial, and cremation follows it swiftly.\nWhile burial is an absolutely simple process, cremation actually takes a lot of essential elements into consideration. In this, the body enters a disposal chamber in a container with a garment, and it gets subjected to natural gas which heats the same.\nThe exhaust gases and smoke are not allowed to pass out and enter a scrubber where they get absorbed.\nIf the body contains any artificial devices such as pacemakers etc., these are removed in advance. And without any doubts, all such blood-smeared products contribute to biohazardous wastes.\nIn addition, the residue left after the cremation of a body ranges anywhere from 3 to 6 pounds which need to be disposed of effectively.\n- Types of Funeral Home Wastes:\nWhen we talk about funeral homes, we may roughly include cemeteries, morgues, and mortuaries etc.\nNo wonder, funeral homes too generate a considerable amount of waste and these are varied in nature. For instance, some of the major types of medical wastes that emerge out of the funeral home are as follows:\n- Dressings, swabs, and other fabrics\n- Incision needles\n- Arterial tubes\n- Phenol etc.\nAnd broadly, these wastes can be grouped under categories such as:\n- Chemical Wastes\n- Sharps wastes\n- Pharmaceutical Wastes\n- Radioactive Wastes\n- Chemotherapy wastes etc.\n- OSHA Regulations & Funeral Homes:\nThe OSHA or ‘Occupational Safety and Health Administration’ is an agency that provides healthcare training and clearly states the ways to mitigate hazardous wastes.\nAccording to OSHA, all the employees which are directly or indirectly subjected to bloodborne pathogens or infectious body fluids must possess proper OSHA training. This encompasses outlining all the exposure control plans and ways to stay protected from the infectious wastes.\nYou can get the best OSHA training assistance from a reputed medical waste disposal agency in your region which would also help you deal with all kinds of generated medical wastes.\n- Segmenting Funeral Home Wastes:\nAs aforementioned, funeral homes generate various types of wastes and not each of them could be added to a single container.\nTherefore, as stated above, you need to have separate waste disposal container for each of these and in this too, a good and licensed medical waste management agency can offer great assistance.\nAlso Read: Why Medical Waste Disposal Is Required?\nFor instance, if the funeral homes discard sharps wastes, it is important to store them properly in dedicated sharps containers so that they do not cause any harm to the living beings that come in contact with them.\n- How To Ensure Safety:\nAs informed on every step, funeral homes can get the best assistance from a good medical waste disposal agency such as ‘Secure Waste Inc.’\nAll such agencies offer ‘A to Z’ assistance in terms of generated medical wastes and prevent any form of troubles which arise due to negligently discarded funeral home wastes.\nKey Takeaways From Above:\nHere are the major points that we learned from all that we mentioned above:\n- Funeral wastes are not at all simple and could be hazardous in nature. Thus, you need an expert medical waste management agency to take care of these.\n- Funeral homes could be varied in nature and they discard various kinds of wastes.\n- It is important to identify & segregate every kind of waste generated and store it properly in the designated container.\n- You can get every assistance that you need from a reputed medical waste management agency.\n- All such medical waste agencies provide waste storage containers, waste-disposal documents, and are responsible for every action right from picking up the filled containers to disposing of them safely.\n- Funeral homes too are governed by OSHA regulations and the employees at such places must be provided proper OSHA training for the best outcomes.\n- People who handle hazardous wastes emerging from the funeral homes must use personal protective equipment (PPE) to stay protected from any form of medical troubles.\nSo if you are concerned with a funeral home, ensure to consult a good medical waste management agency such as ‘Secure Waste Inc.’ and you can ensure to stay away from all the medical and legal hazardous waste troubles.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "There's hope and help for overweight kids\nDealing with kids' weight is one of the most delicate dances of parenthood.\nWe want to make sure our children are well nourished and have a healthy, positive relationship with food. We don't want to damage their self-esteem by calling undue attention to their weight (whether they're thin or chubby), and we don't want to alienate them by constantly reminding them to slow down on snacks and get their butts off the couch. When your child is overweight, it's hard to find words to voice your concerns, words that won't push the child toward even worse eating and exercise habits, and away from you.\nFinding a way to help kids deal with their excess weight has never been so crucial. The federal National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey estimates that about a third of all children and teens are overweight; 16 percent are obese. Recent research has connected being obese as a teenage girl with dramatically increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis as an adult. Obese teen girls, also according to recent research, are more likely to suffer infertility as adults. Overweight teens of both sexes are at increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, a disease once reserved for older adults. And overweight adolescents too often turn into overweight adults. Though some experts may dispute that being overweight translates to ill health, numerous studies have shown associations between being overweight and such conditions as cardiovascular disease and many cancers.\nSometimes it seems the world has conspired to make our kids fat. Ads for highly sweetened, fat-laden treats bombard them through television and computer screens. In many communities, playing outside and walking or biking to and from school is no longer the norm. Physical education has been squeezed out of schools, where the food served at lunch is often a nutritional disappointment.\nIf all that sounds dire, though, rising public awareness of childhood obesity as a major threat to our nation's future health has led to new initiatives to address the issue. The American Academy of Pediatrics, for instance, offers a Web site, http:/\nKim Perry, the program's director, says, \"It's a movement of young people who believe in prevention, in eating right and moving around more.\" EmpowerME's online offerings are focused on two age groups: 8-to-12-year-olds are the prime target, with 13-to-17-year-olds treated as \"influencers\" whose behaviors set examples for the younger set.\nThe program encourages kids to get 60 minutes of physical activity every day (not necessarily all at once, Perry notes); to make water, milk and 100 percent fruit juices their primary beverages; to eat fruit or vegetables at every meal; to limit total screen time (watching TV, using the computer or playing video games) to one to two hours a day; and to get nine hours of sleep every night. The Web site offers tons of tips and tools for meeting those goals.\nEventually, participants learn how to become advocates in their homes, schools and communities, looking for ways to increase access to healthful food and make outdoor play safe and available.\nDawson MacKay of Bethesda had already lost weight by the time he joined EmpowerME.\n\"I was a little overweight in third grade,\" he says. \"My parents are both doctors, and they informed me. They tried to be nice to me. They told me I was overweight and that that wasn't good, so I should try to eat better and eat less and start exercising more.\"\nDawson says he took their advice in stride. \"They talk to me a lot about health, and they're usually right,\" he says. Losing weight \"wasn't too hard,\" he says, \"but I had to get out of my regular routine.\"\nToday 10-year-old Dawson, now in fifth grade, eats an admirably healthful diet, plays several sports and rides his bike to school, where he's working to improve the nutritional quality of school lunches. Though he takes his own lunch (ham or turkey with cheese and lettuce, two pieces of fruit and some Goldfish or Cheddar Bunny crackers), he's concerned about what he sees served in the cafeteria.\n\"Today,\" Dawson reports, \"it was fish-and-cheese nuggets, french fries and chocolate pudding.\" As if that weren't bad enough, Dawson adds, \"Some kids go back and get a second lunch.\"", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The Surprising Health Benefits of Eating Weeds\nAsk any gardener what the most overwhelming part of their job is, and they’ll probably tell you “weeding.” It’s a necessary evil – and yet, some people find the action of ripping plants from the ground to be surprisingly therapeutic. But if you’ve ever walked out into the yard and recoiled in horror at the sight of unwelcome horticultural guests, you know how stressful it can be.\nInstead of working against weeds, why not work with them to make your garden the best it can be? “But that makes no sense,” you say, “that clover is choking out my lawn!” While it’s true that every space needs some thinning to ensure that your plants get the nutrients they need to grow, weeds play an important role in the garden, from breaking up compacted dirt to providing a barometer of the soil from which they sprout (they also give you a hint at what type of soil you have– knowledge that’s absolutely essential in ensuring optimal germination and growth).\nThough they vary in species from region to region, “weeds” spent hundreds of millions of years learning to adapt to weather, predators, humans, you name it. As a result, most of them have developed defense mechanisms to ensure their survival. Some, like the ubiquitous dandelion, have deep taproots that reach into the soil to mine minerals and moisture that young plants may not be able to reach. These “deep divers” also create breathing room in crowded soil, giving roots of vegetable plants more room to “eat,” so to speak.\nShe notes that watermelons and onions from the weediest part of the patch grow to be larger or better tasting than those from better groomed areas, and some farmers even plant weeds like Jimsonweed to boost the vitality of their pumpkin patch.\nExhausted 9-to-5ers, take note: certain vegetables can actually benefit from a laxer approach to weeding! In her essential book, Carrots Love Tomatoes, Louise Riotte mentions several common weed-plant partnership. She notes that watermelons and onions from the weediest part of the patch grow to be larger or better tasting than those from better groomed areas, and some farmers even plant weeds like Jimsonweed to boost the vitality of their pumpkin patch.\nWeeds tend to proliferate wherever conditions are favorable, but every plant (and weed) has a preferred soil type (or types). If all you see in a patch of dirt is stinging nettle and quack grass, you might have heavy clay soil-– not easy to work with, but favorable for asters and Japanese irises. Other weeds serve as indicators that you’re doing something right, and you’re working with fertile land; if nothing but lambs-quarters and horehound are populating your yard, it’s a good sign. Taking the time to learn and identify common weeds is a bit like being a detective; careful observation is key. [Editor’s Note: We’ll be running a story on edible weeds in the future– stay tuned!]\nAll plants are nutrient sinks, so let your weeds die out in the fall. Come spring, those nutrients will feed another generation and keep the garden going. You can also make a liquid fertilizer or “weed tea” for a bigger boost (no, you won’t get stoned).\nAnd so, I speak in defense of the much-maligned weeds, Mother Earth’s ruthless freeloaders. They may suck and they may be ugly, but by working with them carefully and confidently, even a gardener’s worse weeds tend to redeem themselves– if only a little. So don’t stress out. A little competition is a good thing.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Embedded systems means different things to different people, anywhere from 8-bit micros that cost less than a dollar and have only a few KB of Flash and a couple of hundred bytes of RAM, to ARM-based boards with a GB of Flash and MBs of RAM running a platform like Android. Since you already have an Arduino, I assume you are talking about smaller systems.\nIn order to be successful in the embedded systems field, it is very useful to have some background in electronics. You will often be writing code to interface with the various peripherals (serial busses like UART, SPI, I2C or USB), 8 and 16-bit timers, clock generators, and ADCs and DACs. Although I have not programmed on one, my understanding is the Arduino platform isolates you from most of this by providing canned routines to access the various peripherals on the board. In the real world, you probably won't have this luxury.\n\"Datasheets\" for microcontrollers often run into the hundreds of pages as they describe every bit of every register. If you haven't done so already, you should download the datasheet for the ATmega32 microcontroller in your Arduino Uno.\nIt also helps to be able to read a schematic so you can probe a board with an oscilloscope or logic analyzer. If you have no background in electronics, but are still interested in getting \"down to the metal\", then I highly suggest taking some introductory courses in electronics. It is also essential that you know C, as most microcontroller firmware is programmed in that language. You already have a head start there, as the Arduinos provide a simplified version of C/C++ functions.\nIt would also be a good idea to work with a 32-bit microcontroller, as the embedded market is quickly moving to these as their price has come down to where the 8-bitters used to be. I happen to like the PIC32 series from Microchip. You can get a complete development board from SparkFun for $40. You don't need to buy anything else to start with, since there is a bootloader built-in. You can also use one of Microchip's programmers like the PICKit 3.\nThis board uses the PIC32MX795, which has 512K flash and 128K of RAM, which is a lot more than you are used to on the Arduino. There are tons of free libraries to make programming the peripherals easier, but you will still need to read the PIC32 datasheet to understand how to use them.\nMicrochip has a free IDE and compiler that runs on Windows, Linux, and Macs. (They also have a paid version, but all that gives you is optimizations to produce smaller code. You don't need that for hobbyist use.)", "label": "No"}
{"text": "As the cannabis industry continues to expand, new terminology and products are popping up left and right, making it overwhelming for both cannabis newbies and connoisseurs alike. Two terms that have gained popularity in recent years are \"hemp flower\" and \"hemp biomass.\" While both are derived from the same plant, they are vastly different in terms of their appearance, composition, and usage. In this blog, we'll explore the differences between hemp flower and hemp biomass, and help you understand which product may be best suited for your needs.\nWhat is Hemp?\nHemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species. Unlike marijuana, which is another variety of Cannabis sativa, hemp contains very low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that produces the \"high\" associated with marijuana use. Hemp has been used for a wide range of industrial and commercial purposes for thousands of years, including the production of textiles, paper, biofuels, construction materials, food products, and supplements. In recent years, hemp has gained attention for its potential health benefits, particularly through the use of CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp that is believed to have therapeutic properties.\nWhat is Biomass?\nBiomass refers to the organic material derived from living or recently living organisms, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. It can be used as a renewable energy source, as it contains stored energy from the sun that can be released through combustion or other chemical processes. Biomass can include a wide range of materials, such as wood chips, agricultural waste, algae, and even municipal solid waste. It can be processed and converted into various forms of fuel, such as pellets, liquid biofuels, or biogas, which can be used to generate electricity, heat, or power vehicles. The use of biomass as a fuel source is seen as a way to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.\nHemp flower, also known as CBD flower, refers to the flowering buds of the female hemp plant. These buds contain high concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids, but very low levels of THC. Hemp flower is typically harvested by hand, dried, and then trimmed to remove the stems and leaves.\nIt can be consumed in a variety of ways, including smoking, vaping, or brewing as a tea. Many people prefer using hemp flower as a natural and holistic way to consume CBD and other cannabinoids, as it is minimally processed and contains a range of beneficial compounds that work together to produce what is known as the \"entourage effect.\"\nHemp biomass refers to the organic material derived from the hemp plant, specifically the stalks, leaves, and other plant matter that remains after the flowers and seeds have been harvested. Hemp biomass is a valuable resource in the production of a wide range of hemp-derived products, including CBD oil, textiles, paper, and building materials, as well as biofuels and other industrial products.\nBecause hemp biomass is high in cellulose, it can be processed into a variety of useful forms, such as pulp, pellets, or fibers, making it a versatile and sustainable raw material. Additionally, because hemp biomass is grown using sustainable agricultural practices, it is considered to be a highly eco-friendly resource that has the potential to help mitigate climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.\nHonorable Mention: Industrial Hemp\nBeyond hemp flower and hemp biomass there is a strain of hemp that is grown specifically for industrial uses. The honorable mention of industrial hemp is put forth to show how versatile and beneficial the hemp plant can be.\nIndustrial hemp has a wide range of uses, including the production of fiber for textiles and paper, seed for food and animal feed, and oil for cosmetic and health products. It can also be used for the extraction of CBD and other cannabinoids, which are used in various health and wellness products.\nCompared to other crops, industrial hemp is relatively easy to grow and requires less water and pesticides. It also has a short growing cycle of around 90 to 120 days and can be grown in a variety of climates and soil types.\nAre Hemp and Hemp Biomass Legal?\nThe legality of hemp flower and hemp biomass in the US depends on their THC content. Hemp is defined as cannabis with no more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis, according to the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill).\nIf hemp flower and hemp biomass contain THC levels that are below the legal threshold of 0.3%, they are generally considered legal under federal law. However, it is important to note that some states have implemented their own regulations regarding the production and sale of hemp products, so it is advisable to check the specific laws in your state.\nCan you Smoke Hemp Biomass?\nWhile it is technically possible to smoke hemp biomass, it is not typically recommended or used for that purpose. This material is typically lower in cannabinoid content, including CBD, than the hemp flower, and can be harsh and unpleasant to smoke. Moreover, smoking hemp biomass can potentially release harmful toxins and chemicals that can damage the lungs and respiratory system.\nInstead, if you're interested in smoking hemp, it is generally recommended to use high-quality hemp flower, which is specifically bred for its desirable cannabinoid and terpene profile, and is generally considered to be more enjoyable and effective for smoking.\nElaboration: Ways to Consume Hemp Flower\nWhile hemp biomass should not be consumed, there are multiple ways to consume and benefit from hemp flower. Consumers can find CBD in topicals, tinctures, edibles, and a multitude of other products. However, the most effective way to consume CBD hemp flower is through inhaling it.\nThe science behind the effectiveness of inhalation has to do with the bioavailability and biodelivery available in the consumption method. By inhaling CBD vapor the molecules are able to quickly enter the bloodstream and begin to work with the body.\nHearing inhalation is the most effective way to consume hemp may have users ready to pack a big bowl of CBD flower, but this is not the best option. Traditional smoking methods use combustion to burn the flower, which exposes users to toxins and carcinogens in the smoke produced.\nInstead consumers should look for a dry herb vaporizer that uses heat-not-burn technology to heat the flower to an optimal temperature that will not not produce the toxins associated with traditional smoking. The elon® by E1011 Labs is a high-quality dry herb device that pairs with flower pods prefilled and predosed with CBD-rich flower. Using the elon® allows consumers to get their daily dose, or doses, of CBD in a convenient and user friendly way.\nFlower vs Biomass\nIn summary, while hemp flower and hemp biomass are both derived from the hemp plant and contain beneficial cannabinoids, they are used for different purposes and have distinct characteristics. Hemp flower is typically used for direct consumption, with smoking and vaping being popular methods, while hemp biomass is commonly used for industrial purposes, like biofuels and textiles.\nWhether you're a cannabis newbie or a seasoned connoisseur, understanding the differences between hemp flower and hemp biomass can help you make an informed decision on hemp products to buy, both consumable and non-consumable.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Staff of the Federal Writers' Project. Courtesy of the National Archives.\nDuring the darkest days of the Great Depression, artist Alice Neel painted a surreal portrait of her friend, the poet Kenneth Fearing. In it, the gaunt 33-year-old stares out through owl-rimmed glasses, eye sockets hollow from exhaustion and hunger, a gaping hole in his chest. There, a grinning skeleton perches, spilling a river of blood.\nThese were dark times. And Fearing was the poet for them.\nEighty years ago he burst onto the literary scene with his reckless and stylized first book, Angel Arms. The strongest pieces were free-form riffs on hard-boiled fiction themes: “dangerous, handsome, cross-eye’d Louie the rat / Spoke with his gat, Rat-a-tat-tat—” snarled “St. Agnes’ Eve.” A majestic revolutionary spirit balanced beside these staccato pieces, like this stanza from “Ballad of the Salvation Army”:\nOn Fourteenth street the bugles blow,\nBugles blow, bugles blow,\nThe torpid stones and pavements wake,\nA million men and street-cars quake\nIn time with angel breasts that shake,\nBlow, bugles, blow!\nThough the poems were written earlier, during the Roaring Twenties, Fearing’s apocalyptic imagery proved timely. Coward McCann published Angel Arms in 1929, within months of the stock market crash that plunged the United States into the Great Depression. Historian Monty Noam Penkower details the meltdown’s subsequent catastrophic effect on the literary scene in The Federal Writers’ Project, stating that between 1930 and 1933, new books published decreased from 10,000 to barely 7,600, magazine advertising dropped 30 percent, and newspaper “mortality rates” reached 48 percent (sound familiar?).\nIn this climate, Angel Arms barely registered in the critical press, and Fearing churned out pulp fiction and porn to keep afloat. His first wife, Rachel Meltzer, told scholar Robert M. Ryley that “his shirts . . . were green with grime, his teeth covered with tartar.” She held down the household’s only steady paycheck, working while her husband wrote. Ryley noted that “she would get so tired that, much to Fearing’s annoyance, she would fall asleep at parties.”\nAlbert Halper’s 1933 novel Union Square parodies the poet as a drunken wreck: “‘Blow, bugles, blow,’ he mumbled sloppily, ‘and answer, hot dogs, answer, wharking, jarking, karking. On Fourteenth Street the mustard’s green, in Union Square the mob is queen. Blow, bugles, blow, set the wild echos barking. And answer, comrades, answer, harking, larking, farking.’” Alongside Neel’s portrait, these two works present the Fearing of that time as a troubled—and troubling—genius.\nHe seemed headed for oblivion, but the Federal Writers’ Project (FWP)—a government-funded program that lasted from 1935 until early 1943, employing thousands of writers around the country as oral historians, researchers, and authors of state guidebooks—rescued him, if only for a short time. For some writers, like Claude McKay and May Swenson, the FWP provided a foundation from which they could launch their later careers after the economy picked up. For others, like Fearing, the project provided a brief respite from what came to seem an inevitable decline. But in that brief time, the FWP enabled Fearing to write some of his most enduring works.\nAs his poetic output lagged during the pre-FWP days of the Great Depression, Fearing found solace in New Masses, a weekly labor bugle. Running from 1926 until 1948, the radical magazine published some of the most famous voices to emerge from the Great Depression, including Upton Sinclair, Richard Wright, and Langston Hughes. In the early 1930s, Orrick Johns—a scrappy poet who had lost a limb in a childhood accident and who navigated the Greenwich Village literary scene on one wooden leg—edited the poetry section. By his own estimate, Johns read 400 poems every month for the magazine. In the mid-1930s, New Masses averaged about one poem a week. Despite these daunting odds, Fearing was a valued contributor, publishing more than 30 pieces there. During Johns’s tenure, Fearing published five poems—despite the critical disinterest in his first book.\nIn the summer of 1935, more layoffs and closings rocked the literary world, and Johns lost his New Masses job. The editor didn’t stay unemployed for long, landing a directorship at the newly formed FWP in New York City. Housed in the cavernous Works Progress Administration building at the Port Authority, the FWP opened in 1935. At its peak, this bureaucratic beehive paid more than 600 writers around $20 a week (about $300 today) to collect information, write guidebooks, and record folk histories, among other projects. Nationwide, the FWP employed around 6,600 writers—among them Lorine Niedecker and Conrad Aiken, Zora Neale Hurston and Studs Terkel, John Cheever and Saul Bellow.\nJohns was tasked with picking writers from a demoralized talent pool in New York City. “They were all from the home relief rolls, and it took weeks for some of them to get the habit of clean shirts and pressed trousers. They ran the gamut of mental states, the scared and the stolid, the humble and proud, reserved and excitable, with a scattering of plain drunks.” He selected many New Masses writers for the project, including Fearing.\nFearing thrived as an FWP staffer, uniting the fractious collection of authors and radicals in the project. According to Jerre Mangione, the FWP’s coordinating editor, Fearing “was one of the project’s most popular staff members and had friends in all camps.” Early in his career, Fearing was pigeonholed as a “proletarian poet,” but avoided taking sides in political debates (something that probably helped at the FWP). When FBI agents asked if he was a Communist, the poet replied: “Not yet.” For years scholars have debated his true ideological stance during these difficult days.\nIn 1935 Fearing published his second collection, Poems. Out of the 20 pieces in the slim volume, eight were first published in New Masses. This new work blasted the bankers, fat cats, and politicians who had plunged the country into an economic dark age. Straight from the pages of New Masses, the bombastic “Dirge” dishes out comic-book retribution. “Wham, Mr. Roosevelt; pow, Sears Roebuck; awk, big / dipper; bop, summer rain; / Bong, Mr., bong, Mr., bong, Mr., bong.” The pop hymn mocks and mourns the domesticity of J. Alfred Prufrock in Fearing’s most famous poem:\nAnd wow he died as wow he lived,\ngoing whop to the office and blooie home to sleep\nand biff got married and bam had children and\noof got fired,\nzowie did he live and zowie did he die\nThe country’s resentment over the economic meltdown electrified the poet’s experiments. Horace Gregory summed it up in his 1946 anthology, A History of American Poetry, 1900-1940: “When his second book, Poems, appeared, the public that had ignored Fearing suddenly discovered his value . . . a generation that was more distinctly urban, that was self-consciously ‘hard-boiled,’ that had shared the hopes and disillusionments of 14th Street in New York and Union Square.”\nThe populist anger that Fearing kindled resembles 21st-century rage over CEO bonuses and stock market scammers, though no poet today has yet claimed this zeitgeist in the way Fearing captured his. The first print run of Poems quickly sold out, becoming a surprise hit despite the Depression. His success shocked the New York Times books section, earning his publisher headlines for “unusual sale of their volumes of radical verse.”\nAs a fellow Greenwich Village bohemian, Orrick Johns had radical dreams for the FWP. He imagined revolutionizing the writing economy and unionizing the profession. Inside the WPA bureaucracy, he struggled to realize “the hopes and disillusionments of 14th Street” that Fearing expressed. However, Johns couldn’t tame the hungry, desperate masses. He lasted barely a year and a half of the tumultuous program. Hunger strikes, brawls, scandals, and malfunction constantly threatened his hold on the organization. During one FWP hiring scandal, the New York Times reported a particularly violent protest outside the Emergency Relief Bureau headquarters. The New York Fire Department arrived at the mob of nearly 3,500 disenchanted workers and spectators with a “newly equipped sound-truck used to broadcast police instruction among the huge crowd.”\nBy 1936 Johns was making headlines on a monthly basis, struggling to control his public image and the image of the FWP. “The total volume to date [published by the FWP], more than 8,000,000 words, dwarfs the combined wordage of the three ‘jumbo’ novels of the day . . . plus all of Shakespeare and the King James version of the Bible,” he boasted to the New York Times in September, countering the nearly daily reports of Communist infiltration and productivity problems.\nAfter an all-night party in October 1936, one rejected FWP applicant attacked Johns, beating him senseless, drenching him with booze, and lighting him on fire. “When I woke up,” he wrote, “some of my teeth were scattered on the floor and blue flames were rising around my face.” It took him six weeks to recover, and he resigned his FWP post at the end of the year. He fled to Connecticut, drinking and writing a memoir. He would never publish poetry again. The Times reported his 1946 suicide: “drinking a poison concoction he mixed in a glass of beer.”\nAs Johns declined at the end of the Depression, Fearing reached the pinnacle of his poetic career: praised as an exemplary FWP member, earning Guggenheim Fellowships, and landing a contract with Random House. Sadly, it wouldn’t last. In 1938 he published the poetry collection Dead Reckoning. “[He] was content to repeat the earlier successes of his writing with slight variations on a central theme,” wrote Horace Gregory.\nThe collection includes “Literary,” a sarcastic advertisement from an imaginary writing school brochure. Fearing rails against “The Literary System” that provides\n[a] thousand noble answers to a thousand empty\nquestions, by a patriot who needs the dough.\nAnd so it goes.\nBooks are the key to magic portals. Knowledge is\npower. Give the people light.\nWriting must be such a nice profession.\nFill in the coupon. How do you know? Maybe you\ncan be a writer, too.\nAfter his singular moment passed, Fearing’s verse would get buried among the “thousand empty questions” that concerned writers after the Great Depression. He found more fame as a novelist in the 1940s, writing a string of novels that climaxed in The Big Clock in 1946. Ray Milland starred in the classic film noir adaptation of the book, which eclipsed the fame Fearing’s poetry once enjoyed.\nAfter his second marriage dissolved in 1952, Fearing spent the last years of his life in his bachelor apartment. He drank pints of whisky every day, cobbling together a living as a publicist, book reviewer, and, once again, pulp writer. The poet—without New Masses, Johns, or the particular battles of the Depression—lost the fight against the bloody skeleton lurking inside. He died in 1961.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "English holly is a versatile, hardy plant combining year-round beauty and wildlife appeal. But when it escapes cultivation it can become an uninvited pest.\nMy first encounter with English holly (Ilex aquifolium) was making holiday decorations in elementary school. Nearly 20 years later, I encountered the plant again as a restoration volunteer with the City of Seattle working to remove invasive plants from parks and greenbelts. Himalayan and evergreen blackberry (Rubus sp.), English ivy (Hedera helix), and English holly were removed and replaced with native sword ferns (Polystichum munitum), salal (Galtheria shallon), and Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium).\nWhen visiting my parent’s property in rural Grays Harbor County, I was surprised to find English holly among the second growth Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) forest; these plants were volunteer offspring of an old tree planted on an adjacent property. Seeing the interlopers randomly scattered throughout the forest made me wonder why English holly grew in one area versus another. Since 2009, I have worked to answer that question for my Master’s thesis at the University of Washington’s School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.\nEnglish holly is an evergreen plant that can grow as a tree or sculpted into hedges to form a living fence. Its red berries provide a speckling of color in the dark green foliage and provide a valuable food source for birds who find refuge within the dense branches. A shade-tolerant understory in its native European deciduous forests, English holly grows equally well in sun or shade in the Pacific Northwest, where our mild climate provides ideal growing conditions.\nIntroduced in Oregon in 1874—possibly by a homesick Englishman or woman wanting to recreate a bit of the English countryside—a market developed for the plant’s foliage for holiday décor. Today more than 90 percent of the English holly sold in the United States is grown in the Pacific Northwest with the support of the Northwest Holly Growers Association. Washington farms alone generate $5 million annually, providing employment and tax revenue.\nThe very traits so prized by gardeners—hardiness, adaptability, and wildlife support—are the same qualities that make English holly a potential problem as birds distribute the seeds throughout parks and forests without respect for property lines. Once a seedling matures into a sapling, survival is almost guaranteed. If this sapling is a female, and if there is a male tree nearby to enable fertilization, more berries are produced and the cycle repeats itself. An extensive, deep root system enables the plant to withstand tough conditions. And like Western red cedar, English holly can sprout new shoots from branches lying on the ground, creating dense, difficult-to-eradicate thickets where it competes for space and nutrients to the detriment of native plant communities.\nIn 2010, King County submitted a proposal to the Noxious Weed Control board (NWCB) asking that English holly be designated a class C noxious weed so counties could educate citizens about the plant’s potential negative impact on the landscape. Steven Burke, speaking on behalf of King County, presented an Earthcorps survey of Seattle’s urban forests at an NWCB meeting. The survey reported that English holly occupies 320 stems per acre; in the City’s coniferous forests, English holly represents over 60 percent of all tree regeneration. From 2007 to 2009, Seattle Public Utilities spent nearly $90,000 to eradicate English holly at Lake Youngs. Arguments against the noxious weed classification were offered by people living around holly farms who did not find the plant to be invasive and holly farmers who maintained that they could control the plant with chainsaws.\nAfter weighing public testimony, the board declined the designation based on a lack of scientific evidence about the plant’s impact on native areas and in protection of the commercial English holly market, which they felt would be economically damaged by a noxious weed classification. But this wasn’t the end of the English holly debate. In 2011, House Bill 1169 and its companion Senate Bill 5087 sought to amend the laws governing noxious weeds by stipulating that a plant “actively cultivated in Washington as a commercial crop” cannot be classified as a noxious weed. The legislation was revised with language stating that any listed plant must have scientific evidence to support its listing, and the legislation passed.\nDebate over English holly has quieted for now, but the study of its effect on the landscape is ongoing. My research focuses upon whether stand characteristics such as tree spacing or volume can be used to predict English holly’s presence within a forest. Other researchers predict that English holly may eventually become the dominant understory species within City parks and forests, which could have long-term implications for the structure of Pacific Northwest forests.\nSo what’s a gardener to do? English holly is here to stay. Pacific Northwest natural resource managers are more concerned about its presence in natural areas such as state parks or national forests than in urban settings like backyards. Yet the story of English holly is a cautionary tale of the unexpected consequences of introduced plants. While some plants cannot survive without human assistance, others thrive, escaping cultivation. Even though English holly has lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 100 years, only now are we starting to see its effect on our forests and wild spaces. Which prompts the question: How many newly introduced plants will venture on the wind or be carried by a bird beyond the backyard to impact the native environment? And at what cost?", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The Undiscovered Country\nThe statistics of death show leaps in modern life expectancy but fail to answer the question: Why do we die?\nNeeds a Ring Job, New Clutch\nBut for now let's leave aside the question of how long humans can live and concentrate instead on why most of us will not live to see the century mark. In 1990, the illustrious Russian biologist Zhores Medvedev sought to classify the more than 300 theories that had been put forth to account for this ineluctable reality. Many of these theories, compelling in their own right, likely capture some of the underpinnings of our mortality. Their sheer number, however, suggests as much about the complexity of the question as it does about the difficulty of thinking dispassionately about death. Scientists, after all, are people who are going to die too.\nTheories of death are also deeply embedded in their culture of origin. Let's consider, for instance, the class of mechanical explanations of death. These hypotheses invite us to accept the metaphor of the human body as a machine with many parts that must work in concert. In this metaphor, we die either because a key component gives way (the catastrophic failure model) or because several interacting parts begin to wear out and no longer work properly (the systems failure model). These metaphors of failing machinery compel, but data supporting them are harder to obtain. Catastrophic failures, like heart attack and stroke, are major killers in the developed world, particularly in the United States. Many of these deaths, however, are preventable and linked to a sedentary lifestyle, and not to an inherent age-dependent failure of a particular organ system.\nThe systems-based explanation argues that complex machinery fails because many things go wrong. According to this model, as with your Toyota, so too with your body: The force-of-mortality curves for automobiles (called failure-rate curves) complied by demographers James W. Vaupel and Cynthia R. Owens at Duke University bear an uncanny resemblance to their human counterparts. Both human and automobile curves show an exponential increase in the force of mortality that tapers off in later years—the same violation of the Gompertz Law we spoke of earlier. Surprisingly, mortality in the early years is eerily similar in people and automobiles: Defects in manufacture (machines) or development (organisms) reveal themselves early on. But if you (or your car) make it past the first year, you're likely to motor along for a good period thereafter. The patterns are tantalizing in their similarity and may reveal some fundamental features of failure in complex systems. Such systems, whether we speak of Toyotas or biologists, are characterized by redundancy brought about by engineering (in the first case) or evolution (in the second). But, as University of Chicago gerontologists Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Gavrilova have argued in their influential bookThe Biology of Life Span: A Quantitative Approach, the very redundancy that permits complex systems to endure a constant rain of light damage also allows such damage to accumulate, resulting in aging and eventual failure. Surprisingly, the higher the level of redundancy, the faster the force of mortality accelerates with age. The irony is that the redundant mechanisms that ensure survival during our early years are the same ones that speed our twilight exit.\nFor two centuries, biology has profited from Rene Descartes's conception of the human body as a machine, subject to, and more importantly, explainable by, material laws. Compelling as the Cartesian metaphor of the body-as-machine might be, it may, however, conceal some important differences between my automobile and me. Repair, for instance, is a process central to survival. I depend on my excellent mechanic, an agent external to my automobile, to keep my car on the road. In contrast, bodies, for the most part, repair themselves: More than 100 genes in our genome are devoted to detecting and repairing DNA damage.\nThis notion of the body as a self-policing, self-correcting system has spawned a second class of death explanations, those related to maintenance. Although the human body can detect and remedy a startling array of defects, this capacity to self-renew declines with age. Even the raw materials for repair—those stem cells recruited to replace exhausted counterparts—become depleted. The damage to our bodies, meanwhile, continues unabated throughout our lives. Much like the inventive mechanics in Cuba who keep Edsels and Cadillacs from the '50s running without spare parts, the body struggles to patch up broken functions as replacement cells decline. But it is, ultimately, a losing battle. In a final ironic twist, the repair process, like the existence of redundancies, becomes a source of trouble as we get older. The inflammation that accompanies injury and repair is itself a source of further damage. Aging and death may come about when we can no longer keep up with the maintenance required to stay alive.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "عنوان مقاله [English]\nنویسنده [English]چکیده [English]\nVerse 84 of Surah Al-Isra represents most essential basis of human deeds in the word “Shakilah” (manner), where it says “Say, each works according to his manner …” There are only the two words of “Shikl” (form) and “Shakilah” (manner) from the root word of “Sha-ka-la” in the Holy Quran, while the majority of commentators and lexicographers offer quite different definitions for the word “Shakilah”. Of course, some definitions are figurative. Lexicographers’ attempts to find a collective meaning for the root word of “Sha-ka-la” have yielded no results thus far. Some lexicographers have presented “likeness” as a synonym for the Arabic root word, but it is not that much accurate. This paper intends to apply semantics and resort to etymological studies to explore semantic components of the root word of “Sha-ka-la” in early Arabic languages to find how these components have established links with the concept of “Shakilah” in Arabic language. In the light of this method, we have indicated how intrinsic and extrinsic semantic components in the root word of “Sha-ka-la” have found their way from the early Arabic languages to the contemporary Arabic language and how they affected the meaning of “Shakilah”.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Learn something new every day\nMore Info... by email\nMature lymphocytes are white blood cells that travel through the lymphatic system and help humans and animals fight diseases. All mature lymphocytes are either T cells or B cells. T cell lymphocytes grow to several different sizes, while all B cell lymphocytes are generally the same size. Both kinds of white blood cells develop in bone marrow, but some travel to different areas of the body to mature. They also perform slightly different functions, though both kinds of lymphocytes attack invasive cells and tissue.\nT cell lymphocytes develop inside the bone marrow, produced by stem cells there. They then transfer to the thymus gland where they develop completely. These lymphocytes then travel to lymph nodes, where they’re transferred to the blood stream, if necessary. The majority of T cells are extremely small, but a handful of these cells grow to about twice the size of the rest. The large T cells are like the tanks of the immune system, while the small cells are like the cavalry.\nAll T cell lymphocytes take care of cell-mediated immunity. This means that when a cell or group of cells signals that they’re in distress, a group of T cells rushes to the site to absorb and destroy the irritation. The irritation could be bacteria, a virus, or excess waste. Viruses are especially nasty because they replicate inside cells, causing them to burst. It often takes the work of thousands of small, mature lymphocytes, as well as a handful of larger T cells, to take care of these invaders.\nB cell lymphocytes also develop in the bone marrow, but they mature there as well. Mature lymphocyte B cells then travel constantly throughout the body, a bit like sentries. When these lymphocytes detect an invader in the body, they turn into plasma that produces antibodies. This is called a humoral immune response because the B cells turn into plasma, which is a humor — or secretion — in the body. It contains no actual cells, just antibodies. Many antibodies remain in the bloodstream after the threat is removed, which is why it is impossible to catch the exact same cold or flu twice.\nAll mature lymphocytes work together when there’s a threat to the body. As mentioned above, B cells act like perimeter guards. When they turn into antibody-producing plasma, T cells swoop in to attack the invading force as well. Sometimes just one group of lymphocytes will attack, but this doesn’t happen often. The body produces both kinds so they can work in conjunction.\nOne of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Inflation: A Swell Time in the Universe\nAside from ignoring the source of the expansion-causing explosion, the Big Bang theory has other shortcomings. In particular, it doesn’t explain why regions of the universe that are separated by distances so vast that they can’t communicate — even by a messenger traveling at the speed of light — look so similar to each other.\nIn 1980, physicist Alan Guth devised a theory, which he called inflation, that can help explain this puzzle. He suggested that a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang, the universe underwent a tremendous growth spurt. In just 10–32 seconds (a hundred-millionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second), the universe expanded at a rate far greater than at any time in the 13.8 billion years that have elapsed since.\nThis period of enormous expansion spread tiny regions — which had once been in close contact — to the far corners of the universe. As a result, the cosmos looks the same on the large scale, no matter what direction you point a telescope. (Think of a big, lumpy ball of dough: If you roll the dough over and over again with your rolling pin, eventually you smooth out all the lumps and create a uniform sheet of dough.) Indeed, inflation expanded tiny regions of space into volumes far bigger than astronomers can ever observe. This expansion suggests the intriguing possibility that inflation created universes far beyond the scope of our own. Instead of a single universe, a collection of universes, or a multiverse, may exist. One universe is hard enough to comprehend as it is!\nInflation had another effect: The infinitesimally short but extraordinarily great growth spurt after the Big Bang captured random, subatomic fluctuations in energy and blew them up to macroscopic proportions. By preserving and amplifying these so-called quantum fluctuations, inflation produced regions of the universe with slight variations in density from one to another.\nBecause of inflation and the quantum fluctuations, some regions of the universe contain more matter and energy, on average, than other regions. As a result, there are cold spots and hot spots in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background. Over time, gravity molded these variations into the spidery networks of galaxy clusters and giant voids that fill our universe today.", "label": "No"}

Or a scenario in which criminals manipulate signals to create a getaway path or to block pursuing law enforcement. Could this happen in reality?\nComputer science researchers working with Prof. J. Alex Halderman have demonstrated that a number of security flaws do indeed exist in commonly-deployed networked traffic signal systems that leave the systems vulnerable to attack or manipulation.\nTheir findings, published in the paper “Green Lights Forever: Analyzing the Security of Traffic Infrastructure,” were presented at the 8th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT ’14) on August 19, 2014.\nThe researchers, who included graduate students Branden Ghena, William Beyer, Allen Hillaker, and Jonathan Pevarnek, arranged with a road agency in Michigan to investigate a networked traffic signal system of a type commonly deployed in the United States and discovered a number of security flaws that exist due to systemic failures by the designers. They leveraged these flaws to create attacks and gain control of a system of almost 100 intersections, successfully demonstrating their attacks in coordination with authorities to ensure public safety. These simulated attacks showed that an adversary could control traffic infrastructure to cause disruption, degrade safety, or gain an unfair advantage.\nTraffic systems typically use wireless radios to communicate, and the researchers found security flaws in these connections that allowed them to access the traffic lights. Other security issues with the traffic light controller allowed the team to change lights on command.\nOf significance, the researchers report that “the vulnerabilities we discover in the infrastructure are not a fault of any one device or design choice, but rather show a systemic lack of security consciousness. We use the lessons learned from this system to provide recommendations for both transportation departments and designers of future embedded systems.”\nProf. Halderman is a noted computer security expert whose research places an emphasis on problems that broadly impact society and public policy.

{"text": "A comprehensive interconnection of Asean’s power grid has been a longheld dream, first emerging into serious discourse in the 1980s. Now, almost four decades later, we might finally be approaching a moment when the pressure for climate action moves this idea towards a more established reality.\nThe push for renewables in Southeast Asia\nElectricity demand in Southeast Asia is growing at a phenomenal rate — forecast to triple in volume from 2022 to 2050, according to the Asean Energy Outlook. Meeting this surging demand while balancing the energy trilemma of secure, affordable and sustainable energy will not be easy.\nNations are increasingly looking to renewable energy sources to form part of the solution, with most Asean countries targeting around 30% of renewable energy in the power mix by 2030. Asean benefits from diverse and varied renewable energy capacity to achieve these ambitions — substantial geothermal capacity in Indonesia and Philippines; wind and solar in Vietnam; hydropower capacity in Laos and Malaysia; and significant solar energy capacity across the region, especially in Thailand and Malaysia.\nHowever, integrating renewable technologies has its own set of challenges. It requires investment both in technologies and grid upgrades to transport renewable electricity from the point of generation to location of demand. Intermittent generation will also require careful investment to balance peak times of generation with peak demand.\nUltimately, renewables potential will also rely on local geography and weather. Countries such as Singapore that are land-constrained or that do not have favourable conditions for renewables may face challenges meeting their decarbonisation targets.\nOvercoming challenges with interconnections\nInterconnections — high-voltage cables that connect electricity systems of different countries — can play a critical role in mitigating the challenges of renewables integration.\nInterconnections allow the transfer of energy from areas with abundant energy generation at a time when other regions face a shortage. This would enable the region to integrate different sources of renewable energy with complementary supply profiles, facilitating the decarbonisation of Asean power systems.\nSuch trade in electricity allows for better stability and improved load balancing. It can also help optimise power infrastructure investment across the region as countries can invest in assets where they have high renewables potential, while relying on the Asean Grid to supply other sources of renewables where needed. This would enhance market efficiency, bring down costs and improve affordability. Interconnection additionally brings economic benefits through lower average investment costs and reserve ratios, and allows further development in some resource-rich, but less developed, economies.\nAn interconnected power system also boosts resilience in the face of significant global pressures. Having a reliable regional supply of renewables can help reduce reliance on fossil fuel and mitigate fuel volume and price uncertainties from events such as the war in Ukraine and the recent volatility of Southeast Asian coal prices triggered by fluctuating demand in China.\nMaking the Asean Grid a reality\nAchieving an effective and interconnected Asean Grid will require several key enablers. Regional funding mechanisms need to be established to push forward interconnection projects, and fair financial settlements will be required to create a sustainable market for import and export.\nTechnical considerations include ensuring the appropriate technical standards are met for inter-grid connections, ensuring secure and accurate data flow and information to enable operations, and maintaining the reliability of power transmission across participating countries.\nCountries need to ensure fair governance and transparent regulations on interconnected projects and operations. They should also promote forward planning in line with growing demand, and define a clear process for project approvals. Most critically, alignment across governments of the region will be vital to drive this transition towards success.\nOne example of such success is the mature energy market of the EU, where interconnections enable the regional supply of electricity from varied low-carbon sources such as nuclear in France, hydropower in the Nordics, and solar and wind in Germany. Key coordinating institutions such as the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity and the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators help to align efforts across over 30 countries. The Energy Infrastructure Forum provides a platform for technical cooperation, while investment needs are addressed by EU funding instruments such as the Connecting Europe Facility. Power trading is enabled by the setup of several power exchanges and a common regulatory framework helps harmonise the regulatory landscape.\nSink your teeth into in-depth insights from our contributors, and dive into financial and economic trends\nDelivering on this interconnected future will take time. Europe took decades to develop the infrastructure we see today. Yet, Asean is a region on the rise, and as economies continue to mature, interconnected power infrastructure offers a chance to support that growth.\nWhy now is the time to drive to action\nThere are signs of growing momentum for the Asean Grid. After decades of limited bilateral power deals, the first tri-partisan power sharing agreement in the region was established in 2017. This agreement saw Malaysia purchasing over 100MW of hydroelectric power from Asean partner Laos, transmitted through Thailand’s grid in a power-wheeling agreement. The agreement was extended in 2019, with capacity expanding to 300MW.\nSingapore, which is renewables-constrained due to its limited land area, is completing the chain by participating in the Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project to trial the import of hydropower from Laos. The city-state has acknowledged the importance of interconnections in achieving its net-zero ambitions and recently released a tender for 1.2GW of low-carbon power imports, which saw 20 bidders from across the region. The Government’s own strategic roadmap sees low-carbon electricity imports contributing 25% to 60% of the power mix by 2050, in addition to own renewable sources such as solar or geothermal.\nThese initiatives are promising and should encourage further regional cooperation on the development of the wider Asean Grid. Given the time horizon required to plan and build the necessary regulatory, financial and physical infrastructure, the region must act swiftly to accelerate interconnection efforts and enable a green, secure and affordable energy future for all.\nMarko Lackovic is a partner with the Boston Consulting Group; Kar Min Lim is a principal with the Boston Consulting Group", "label": "No"}

In addition, they descend from polecats that sleep in burrows below the ground. This means that ferrets require complete darkness and a quiet, cozy sleep environment. Ferrets that are exposed to too much light and don’t have access to covering will not sleep well and may develop behavioral and health problems.\nHelping Your Ferrets Live Healthier, Happier Lives\nJoin other ferret owners and experts and get access to Dook Dook Ferret Magazine, Ferret-World Members Community and other Resources!\nHow many ferret beds should you have in a cage?\nIdeally, you want to have a few different beds in your cage for your ferret to choose from. Since they spend most of their days sleeping, they like to have more than one choice in sleep spaces. Multiple sleeping spaces fulfills that desire and keeps their cage a bit more interesting.\nIt’s best to have lots of different kinds of bedding, set up different bedding options throughout the cage, and rotate the different bedding types between washes.\nThe best types of ferret bedding\nThese are the best types of bedding options:\nBlankets — The staple bedding that most ferret owners use is simple fleece or cotton blankets.\nNatural fibers tend to be more breathable and may be a better option for your ferret’s comfort (and are better for the environment).\nFerrets love blankets because they allow them to crawl into a dark space. They also love the ability to adjust the blanket to their bodies and create a little cocoon. Blankets create a soft, warm, dark, and snug space for sleep. They are also durable and easy to wash, making them excellent for ferret owners as well.\nAnother similar option is sleep sacks, which are fabric sewn to create a three-sided bag big enough for a ferret to crawl in and curl up to sleep.\nHammocks — The other staple that all ferret owners should have in their ferret enclosures is hammocks, both open and enclosed. Ferrets like the sensation of being suspended while sleeping.\nHammocks typically hang in a higher area of the cage, which the ferret needs to climb to in order to reach. This provides some mental and physical enrichment in the cage.\nOpen hammocks allow the ferret to sleep uncovered if they wish, while enclosed hammocks allow for the ferret to burrow themselves into the hammock and be surrounded by darkness while they sleep. You might find that your ferret preferes the open hammocks in the warmer months and the enclosed hammocks in winter.\nNovelty ferret beds — Some companies have designed novelty beds which are a bit more fun looking, resembling things like boats and crocodiles. Some of these even include attached toys that can be fun for the ferret. When purchasing novelty beds, make sure they are specifically made for ferrets, are well made (check the stitching), and are made of good-quality material (preferably natural fabrics).

{"text": "MP3 Files and Players\nAn MP3 file is an audio file that's been converted from analog to digital format. The files are typically a fraction of the size of the original wav file which makes them popular with portable audio players like the iPod.\nBefore MP3 files are covered in detail, you need to understand why they're needed. Wav Files are raw data files that have information that's sampled a predetermined number of times per second. Digital audio such as that used on CDs is sampled at 44,100 times per second with 16 bit samples. This means that a sample is taken 44,100 times per second and each sample has 16 pieces of information. Since we need at least 1 sample from each half of the waveform at all frequencies to reproduce the audio signal, we need at least a 40,000 samples per second to reproduce a 20,000 hertz signal (the upper end of the audio band). A sampling rate of 44.1khz allows us to reproduce the entire audio spectrum (20-20,000 hertz). Lower sampling rates and lower bit rates allow smaller data files but will also reduce the maximum reproducible frequency and resolution. Wav files can be used on a web site (I have a few on this site) but the download times can be quite long. To transmit a CD quality stereo signal in real time, it would require a transfer rate of more than 1.4 million bits per second. This is a significantly higher bit rate than can be achieved on the net.\nThe image below is a 1000hz signal recorded at 44,100 samples per second. The bright green dots are the points where the data samples were taken on the waveform. This is less than 0.005 seconds of audio.\nThis is a 22,050hz signal sampled at 44,100hz.

Well, it wasn't so long ago nor so far away but... a group of experts (let's call them the Motion Picture Experts Group) decided that there was a need to have a quality audio compression scheme that would allow a virtually lossless audio compression. There have been several predecessors of the current MPEG-1 Layer-3 or MP3 format. The MP3 format allows CD quality audio to be coded with a 12:1 reduction in file sizes when compared to a wav file.\nLayer-1 audio coding is the simplest coding scheme. It allows the least amount of file compression (up to 4:1 for a CD quality recording) but requires the least processor power. Layer-2 allows better compression (up to 8:1 for CD quality recordings). Layer-2 requires still more processor power to decode the signal in real time. Layer-3 coding is the coding scheme with which we are all familiar. It allows a file reduction of as much as 12:1 for CD quality recordings.\nThere are other MPEG formats such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Both have 3 layers.\nAs you know, the human auditory system has a very large range dynamic range. We can hear a pin drop or a dragster blasting down the track. One thing it can't do is hear the pin drop while the dragster is making all of that noise. This 'masking' (by our auditory system) of the quieter sounds while there are louder sounds is what helps to make MP3 so effective. The MP3 encoder discards all of the material which is not going to be heard by our auditory system. When done properly, what's left is all that we would hear anyway.\nIn stereo audio, there are sounds that are in both channels equally. MP3 encoding takes advantage of this to further reduce the file size. There's no point in making 2 copies of the same material.\nHuffman coding is an algorithm that allows further compression of sounds that have little masking such as pure tones.\nMP-3 files can be recorded at different rates. If you only want a telephone quality mono signal, the file size can have a 96:1 reduction. If you require a CD quality stereo signal, you'll have to record at a higher bit rate such as 128kbps which still allows a file size reduction of ~12:1.\nIf you want or need even more detailed information try this site or this site.\nVirtually everything below this point is old information and generally useless. This page will be updated soon to reflect more current equipment.\nPlayer and Media Types\nMulti-Media Card Players:\nMulti-Media Card (MMC) players accept a media card that's 24mm x 32mm x 1.4mm. they're readily available in sizes up to 128GB.\nSmart Media Card Players:\nSmart-media card players accept a memory card that's 37mm x 45mm x 0.76mm.\nCompact Flash Card Players:\nThere are some players that read from Compact Flash cards (memory cards used in, among other things, digital cameras and PDAs). The dimensions of a compact flash card is 3.3mm x 43mm x 36mm. They're available in capacities up to 2GB. There is at least one in dash player (the Clarion autoPC) that uses this type of storage device. The Clarion autoPC can also accept the IBM microdrive*. The IBM microdrive is a very small (5mm x 43mm x 36mm) hard drive that fits into the same port as a compact flash card. At this time the microdrive is available in sizes up to 1 gigabyte and cost about. At this time, the 1 gig drive is ~$400us. The Compact Flash cards are approximately $1.5/meg.\n*IBM's hard drive division was purchased by Hitachi. They are supposed to produce a 4GB microdrive in the near future (if it's not already on the market).\nCompact Disc Type Players:\nThis type of player is generally a dual format player. There are at least 2 different models available (Aiwa and Kenwood). You can see them on the Crutchfield site. They can play normal CDs which make them very popular. They can also play CDRs with MP3 files. This allows you to record MP3 files from your computer if you have a CD burner. Since CDRs are extremely inexpensive, this can be a really cost effective way to play MP3 files (ignoring the cost of the computer, CD burner and the deck, of course :-)\nHard Drive Based Players:\nThis type of player is similar to your PC. It reads the files from a hard drive similar to what's in your computer. Players (like the empeg/Rio player) are available with different size hard drives. You can load files from your computer through several different types of ports (serial, USB, ethernet). This type of player goes in the dash of your vehicle just as a standard head unit. The empeg/Rio player runs the Linux operating system.\nA USB (universal serial bus) port is a new type of port that allows many different types of peripherals to be connected to your computer. Many of the new digital cameras, modems, printers, scanners and drives (just to name a few) use USB ports. USB can transfer data at rates between 1.5 and 12 Mbps. The interconnect cable largely determines the actual transfer rate. For more info on USB ports, visit this site.\nThe serial port can be either a 9 pin or 25 pin connector. The data transfer in either form is the same. This type of connector is used to connect to your mouse or external modem. The serial port has a maximum transfer rate of ~250kbps.\nThe parallel port on the back of your computer can transfer data on 8 pins at a time which makes it able to transfer data faster than a standard serial port. The connector is a 25 contact connector which has 25 sockets to accept the 25 pins on the interconnect cable. This is the connector you might use for your printer (or other peripherals).\nAn ethernet port is capable of 10Mbps. It was designed for use with Local Area Networks. It can be transmitted through fiber optics, coaxial or even twisted pair telephone cable. The connector for twisted pair cabling is an RJ45, 8 conductor telephone type plug/jack.\nLinux is an open source computer operating system originally conceived by Finish programmer Linus Torvalds. The system will, hopefully, come to replace Windows as the main operating system for PCs (or at least force Windows build an operating system that doesn't crash during normal use). The biggest advantage of Linux is the fact that it's an open source program which means that anyone (programmers) can write, edit or otherwise modify the operating system to best fit their needs.\nAt least one type of portable (the Rave) uses an Iomega Clik! disc. The Clik! disc holds 40 megs of data which translates into approximately 40 minutes of CD quality music. This is a relatively cost effective type of removable storage because the discs are only about $10 at the time this page was written (March 2001).\nThere are several different types of adapters to connect portable MP3 players to your audio system.\n- The worst type (in my opinion) is the cassette adapter. It looks like a cassette tape and goes into your cassette player just like a cassette tape. It has a wire with a mini phone plug on it that plugs into the headphone jack of your portable MP3 player. This type of adapter will provide the poorest sound quality of all.\n- Another type of adapter is the RF modulator. It goes into the antenna line for you head unit. It accepts an audio signal (from the headphone output of your MP3 player) and converts it to an FM signal that can be received by your head unit. They generally have 2 different frequencies. You tune your head unit to the selected frequency to listen to the MP3s. The sound quality with this type of adapter will provide surprisingly good sound quality (generally better than FM stations).\n- The last is not so much a converter but a cable. It would have a stereo mini phone jack on one end and a set of RCA cables on the other end. It's used to connect the MP3 player to the RF converter or an EQ with a front panel auxiliary jack.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "\"Can a product which requires clean water, good sanitation, adequate family income and a literate parent to follow printed instructions, be properly and safely used in areas where water is contaminated, sewage runs through the streets, poverty is severe and illiteracy is high?\"\nIn 1978 Nestlé admitted, \"No\". Sadly when the same question is asked today, the answer remains, \"No\".\nAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF about 1.5 million babies die every year because they were not breastfed. In many parts of the world, not breastfeeding means the difference between life and death. Where water is unsafe, preparing formula means exposing children to the harmful bacteria found in untreated water. This causes many infants to become infected with bacterial diseases, the most feared of which is diarrhoea, which yearly leads to dehydration and death for thousands of infants. Many more millions suffer from infectious diseases and malnutrition, never reaching their full potential because they were not breastfed. The global decline in breastfeeding and the subsequent ascent of \"commerciogenic malnutrition\" has been attributed in part to the aggressive marketing of breastmilk substitutes by the babymilk and babyfood industry1. To Counteract this dangerous trend, the World Health Assembly ratified an international marketing code2 designed to protect breastfeeding and ensure the proper use of artificial feeding when necessary.\nThe International Code imposes strict guidelines that prohibit the promotion of infant formula to the public, the promotion of infant formula through health care systems, direct contact between formula companies and mothers, and ensure proper labels on all products describing the benefits of breastfeeding and the dangers of bottlefeeding (see the International Code page on this website for more information).\nDespite the fact that Nestlé has promised to comply with the WHO Marketing Code, the company disposes of large quantities of free formulas to maternity hospitals and birthing centres, distributes free formula to pregnant women and new mothers, misinforms about infant feeding, and tries to entice health care workers with enducements and gifts. In Bangladesh, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and South Africa, mothers of newborns receive free Nestlé infant formula samples in hospitals. Health care workers receive gifts such as pens, calendars, and desk sets in Chile, Colombia, and Spain, and in Zimbabwe, health care workers receive Christmas hampers from Nestlé.3.\nNestlé knows that artificial feeding in the poor areas of the world is dangerous. So why do they promote their products there? The awful reality is that every breastfeeding mother represents competition for formula companies. In what has become a deadly zero-sum game, Nestlé is trying to convince mothers all over the world to engage in dangerous feeding practices.\nAs the world's largest babyfood company, Nestlé sets the marketing standards for the industry. Currently, rather than setting a good example, it is the single most prolific violator of the International Code. Participants in the Nestlé Boycott refuse to let Nestlé carry on business as usual while they are at the same time endangering the health of millions. Boycotters refuse to buy any Nestlé products in order to put pressure on the company by creating bad publicity and lowering sales. The Boycott will be promoted and publicized until such time as Nestlé is forced to change its marketing practices and begins to act ethically.", "label": "No"}
