But, Cook said, he views these as “speed bumps along a very long journey” and the long-term is “very, very strong there”. Apple, Apple results, apple results india, apple india, tim cook, apple ceo tim cook, apple news, Tech News, Indian Express, IE Technology Tim Cook said the currency weakness has been “part of our challenge” in India. (File) Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that India was among the emerging markets where the company is under pressure because of weak currencies pushing up the prices of its products. Answering a question in the earnings call, soon after the company announced its Q4 results, Cook said Apple’s business in India has been flat in the quarter when it would obviously like to “see that be a huge growth”. The Apple CEO said the currency weakness has been “part of our challenge” in India. But, Cook said, he views these as “speed bumps along a very long journey” and the long-term is “very, very strong there”. He attributed this bullish outlook to the expectation that a large number of Indians will move into the middle class and the government has really focused on reform with some very bold moves.

India is among the countries were Apple does not have its own store, stuck because of the restriction on single-brand retail. Advertising Cook said there were import duties “in some or most of the product categories” Apple was in and that is an area it was giving feedback on. Cook said the manufacturing of entry-level iPhones in India has gone well and he was was very bullish on India and Apple’s ability to do well there. In countries like India, Apple usually keeps a buffer at its price to take the blow of currency fluctuation. Apple posted a quarterly revenue of $62.9 billion, up 20 per cent in comparison to Q4 2017. In this, international sales accounted for 61 per cent revenue, while services revenue reached “an all-time high of $10 billion”. CFO Luca Maestri attributed the jump to “revenue records for iPhone and wearables and all-time quarterly records for Services and Mac.” Earlier, Cook said he was happy with the growth in Mac and iPad numbers in India.	# Apple CEO Tim Cook says company under pressure in India from weak currency; but bullish for long term https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/apple-quarterly-results-tim-cook-iphones-ipad-5430440/ Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that India was among the emerging markets where the company is under pressure because of weak currencies pushing up the prices of its products.

Currently, India restricts single-brand retail, which prevents Apple from opening its own stores there. Cook also pointed out that import duties apply “in some or most of the product categories” Apple sells in India and that the company is providing feedback on this issue. He said manufacturing of entry-level iPhones in India has gone well and reiterated his bullish stance on Apple’s prospects in the country. To cushion against currency fluctuations, Apple typically includes a buffer in its India pricing. In Q4, Apple posted revenue of $62.9 billion, up 20 percent year-on-year. International sales accounted for 61 percent of revenue, while services reached an all-time high of $10 billion. CFO Luca Maestri credited the jump to “revenue records for iPhone and wearables and all-time quarterly records for Services and Mac.” Earlier, Cook said he was happy with the growth in Mac and iPad numbers in India.	633	460	8,529,621,676,113,151,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null
-1,468,261,174,567,081,200	Tips and Advice 1. Get detailed about the detailing Just like selling your house, the cheapest way to add value to a car is to clean it thoroughly. Seems obvious, but we don’t always notice the grime on something we see every day. Also sprinkle baking soda on the carpets and cloth seats, then vacuum it up to remove odours you might not smell but potential buyers will. Arm & Hammer recommends waiting at least 15 minutes before turning on the vacuum, “or longer for strong odours.” If you’re a smoker, that can mean letting it sit overnight – and not smoking in the car for at least a week. You can scrub your floor mats, but if they still look bad, replace them. Clean out the glove box, removing everything but the owner’s manual. While you’re cleaning the windshield, make sure the windshield wipers are in good condition and that they function properly. If they don’t, it’s a sign that other parts of the vehicle may also have been neglected. 2. Let there be more light Make sure all the lights work. Do your headlights, taillights and brake lights work? How about the dome light (which illuminates the interior when you open the door)? Map lights? Do you have a vanity mirror that lights up? Your headlight covers can yellow with age. Instead of replacing the entire headlight, spend less than $20 on products like the 3M Headlight Restoration System. While they won’t make your headlights look like new, they’ll go a long way to clearing up the cloudiness. Plus, your headlights will shine brighter than before. 3. Be solid on your fluids Knowledgeable buyers are not only going to check the oil level to make sure you have enough, but also whether it’s bright and clean – because long-term driving with low or old oil means years off the life of the engine. If necessary, top off the other fluids and like the windshield washer fluid (front and back). 4. Treat your tyres If you paid for a car wash and the tires aren’t glistening, get out that box of baking soda. Add just enough water to make a paste, use a scrub brush to rub it in, and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse it off and marvel at the results. Also visit a petrol station to properly inflate those tyres. 5. Check the "check engine" light The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose petrol cap. Ask your trusted mechanic to diagnose the problem if the “check engine” light is on and make the needed repair. 6. Remove scratches and dings Getting rid of scratches on a car’s finish isn’t easy. It’s so complicated that many mechanics develop a step-by-step guide. Forget about DIY dent repair. If you’re not adept at it, you could make the problem worse. If you have anything more than minor scratches and dings, take the car to an expert. 7. Gather your records Neatly order the maintenance and repair invoices you had stashed in your glove box. Didn’t keep meticulous records of your repairs? Pay for a report yourself and show it off. These services are usually used by buyers who want to check a used car’s history of accidents, recalls and repairs, try carfacts.com.au 8. Set the price Now that your car looks and smells as nice as possible, it’s time to settle on an asking price. Don’t depend solely on Redbook. Check sites like eBay, Carsales and other online classified ads to see what cars like yours are fetching where you live. Always ask for more than you’ll settle for, as buyers love to negotiate. 9. Write the ad Now you have to promote your vehicle. Carsales offers an incredibly detailed list of do’s and don’ts for writing an ad that can serve as your guide and they also offer 10 tips for writing an effective online ad for your car. One of those tips: Be honest about repairs. 10. Take buyers out for a spin Before you let a prospective buyer take a test drive, take yourself for a test drive and practice describing your car. When it comes to the test drive with the potential buyer you chauffeur them yourself at first. Emphasize the car’s features – fine leather, a smooth ride, excellent speakers. Without coming on too strong, let no selling point of your vehicle go unnoticed.

555,459,105,859,403,140	Hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy is a specialist form of physiotherapy based in water. It is a perfect tool for patient rehabilitation either used alongside or independent of conventional physiotherapy. How is a hydrotherapy pool different? The water is kept between 32 and 34 degrees, much warmer than a normal swimming pool (usually no warmer than 28 degrees). The warmer water helps support your body and allows your muscles to relax. This then promotes healing and recovery in your body. Why choose hydrotherapy? Exercising in water is a fantastic treatment option as it helps to support your own body weight. It can be particularly useful if you’re recovering from surgery or you have a condition with limited mobility. If you are non weight-bearing following surgery, hydrotherapy can speed up recovery as the exercises in the water are slower and more gentle. By using the warmth of the water and weightlessness, this treatment can help to: • improve your movements and mobility • reduce stiffness and inflammation in joints • help strengthen muscles • alleviate aches and pains • improve your balance • re-education of paralysed muscles What conditions can hydrotherapy help with? As hydrotherapy is a gentle and supportive type of physiotherapy treatment, it can be particularly useful in treating a number of conditions or injuries. It can be very helpful if you cannot exercise on land. As you are weightless in the water, there is less force placed on your joints such as your knees or hips. The slow and controlled exercises combined with the warm water can help with conditions such as: • back pain • fractures • surgery such as knee or hip replacements or ACL reconstruction • muscle sprains and strains • arthritis – both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis • neurological conditions such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, MS, Parkinson’s disease • balance conditions • after strokes or head injuries See all clinics that provide Hydrotherapy	# Hydrotherapy Hydrotherapy is a specialist form of physiotherapy based in water.

The school was opened as Tabor Park Vocational School (1964-1986) by the Scarborough Board of Education and later owned by the Toronto District School Board, after which the building was leased to the MSSB/TCDSB in 1989. The school is named after Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche in 1964. The school is informally known as New Tabor Park to avoid confusion with Georges Vanier Secondary School and is also sometimes referred to as the Maverick Ranch, a type of unbranded horse. The school educates 1002 students as of the 2016-17 academic year and it is ranked 331 out of 725 schools in the Fraser Institute report card.[1] Its motto is "Through Knowledge Toward God". History[edit] To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance. — Jean Vanier, Community And Growth Founder[edit] Jean Vanier was born on September 10, 1928. He is the founder of L'Arche, an international organization which creates communities where people with developmental disabilities and those who assist them share life together. He is the son of the 19th Governor General of Canada, Major-General Georges Vanier. In his youth and during World War II he served with the Royal Navy and then with the Royal Canadian Navy. As a midshipman, Vanier accompanied the Royal Family on their tour of South Africa aboard HMS Vanguard in 1947. The School[edit] Jean Vanier was attempted to merge with Cardinal Newman in June 2000 at the former home of Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute, but the plans were never materialized. Long before the existence of Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School, the first Roman Catholic separate school, St. Maria Goretti Separate School opened its doors in September 1955 and St. Albert in September 1969 as the first schools within the parish of the same name. Between 1959 and 1962, David and Mary Thomson Collegiate Institute and Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute were then established although Midland was the sole secondary school in that area. However, by fall of 1973, Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School also opened its doors as the first Catholic high school in that same area as Midland. The current location, Tabor Park Vocational School was designed by the architects Webb, Zerafa and Menkes, built in 1964 and established by the Scarborough Board of Education in September 1965 as a less academically challenged high school. Its programs were different from Bendale Vocational/Secondary with students integrated to mainstream schooling due to Tabor Park and Bendale were meant for streamed "vocational" high schools for people living near Midland and Thomson. The schools would later forged the model after Tabor Park by the openings of Maplewood and Sir William Osler in 1967 and 1975 respectively. In 1981, the enlarged library and gym storages were built. By the time Tabor Park closed in 1986 due to low enrolment, Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies, an adult high school began in this site. As a result of public funding of Catholic high schools, in May 1988, the SBE along with the six public boards to lease the Tabor Park property to the Metropolitan Separate School Board and was reopened as Jean Vanier to serve the rest of Scarborough. In that case, it was established to relive overcrowding at Mary Ward, Francis Libermann and Senator O'Connor. By 1988, Scarborough had six anglophone Roman Catholic high schools. Jean Vanier C.S.S. came to existence on September 5, 1989 within the St. Maria Goretti Parish catchment area as Central Scarborough's with 18 staff and 198 grade 9 students under the leadership of founding principal Michael Leroux, with the first students graduated Vanier in 1993. Construction and renovation began in 1990, and was completed in the spring of 1994, although the eastern portion building was erected and built with 18 classrooms in 1991 along with the front fascia and the school now accommodates close to 1,000 pupils. From the onset, the school was de-streamed in grade 9. The school was opened and blessed on November 13, 1994. In its conception, the school was originally to be named St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School, named after a Jesuit priest, Francis Xavier. But despite a turnout and the elementary school using the name, it was changed to Jean Vanier thereafter. Following the closure of Midland Collegiate in 2000, Vanier received the remaining students from Midland. To date, students living in the school's former catchment area have applied or attended Vanier since. In February 2011, Jean Vanier C.S.S. received Dr. Bette M. Stephenson Recognition of Achievement award from EQAO. Jean Vanier C.S.S. celebrated its 20th Anniversary in June 2010 since it opened in September 1989 with the Mass and Alumni social. The school celebrated its 25th in October 2014 in conjunction with L'Arche's 50th anniversary of its founding. In the news[edit] • On May 20, 2004, 17-year old Jeffrey Michael Rich Reodica, who was in Grade 11 at the time, was playing basketball with his friends at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School.[2] However, the next day, Reodica and his buddies encountered the three white teens into Benleigh Drive just behind the school. Later, Toronto Police Const. Daniel Belanger arrived at the scene and shot Reodica who was holding a rock as a defense.[2][3] Reodica later died of his injuries on May 22, 2004. Belanger later justified in shooting of Reodica because the teen was swinging a knife, which was found at the scene.[2] • During the morning hours of July 16, 2010 at 1:10 a.m., a Pontiac Sunfire which carried five boys was flipped and crashed at Greencedar Circuit and Daphne Road on a tree, near Lawrence Avenue East and Markham Road, right behind Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute. The fifth person, who was a passenger in the back seat, later identified as 16-year old Allan Christopher Alfred, was not wearing a seatbelt at the time.[4] Alfred, who completed Grade 10 was going to Grade 11 during that period. Just mere six days later, Alfred died of his injuries at Sunnybrook Hospital.[5] • Wayne Paul Foster, a 61-year-old Curriclum Leader for Business,[6] was tragically killed in a bizarre car accident involving a dump truck on Major Mackenzie Drive East near Kennedy Road in Markham on the morning of September 8, 2011.[7] • On the evening of December 20, 2012, Gabriel Michael Zapanta,[8] who was a tenth grade student was hit by unknown truck at 8:00 p.m. EST at Kennedy Road and Trevorton Drive north of Eglinton Avenue East. He died eight days later.[9] Overview[edit] The enrollment of the school as of 2015–16 is 996 pupils. It is a co-educational semestered school operating in grades 9–12. The school draws crowds from the Bendale, Ionview, Knob Hill, Scarborough Junction, and most parts of Scarborough as well as some from Toronto and as far from Pickering and Ajax. It became a popular destination powerhouse with its excellent facilities and programs since the closure of nearby Midland Avenue Collegiate Institute in June 2000. Emphasizing on the "AAA" focus, the school has a large athletic field found in most regular public high schools, but usually unavailable with purpose built Catholic high Schools. The design of the former Tabor Park school consists of brown bricks and overall structure in the middle where the quadrangle/courtyard stands. The two catwalks along with 20 new academic classrooms, a seminar work room, and an exercise room was eventually added in 1991 to expand enrollment.[10] as well as black cross was retrofitted in the centre.[11] Other features in the leased 126,241 sq. ft. facility include 28 academic classrooms, two automotive shops, four state-of-the-art science labs, three computer labs, two Mac labs, a visual arts studio, cafetorium, library, expanded ME/DD classroom, a double gymnasia that can be split into two, a drama room, two music rooms, a photography room, guidance area, a recently renovated home economics room and a chapel. The school's main palette is beige, grey, light blue, blue and white with the lockers colored light blue and royal blue though they were painted aqua green. It has an aforementioned layout in which it is divided into three floors with two separate wings: • The first floor (basement) is a science/computer studies wing in which the old carpentry/automotive/metal shops were renovated over while the greenhouse was removed and on the same floor, which is the English/history/geography wing, it originally had ten academic classrooms until its reduction to seven due to an enlarged room being the ME/DD program. • On the second floor (the main floor), it features two distinctive wings being the mathematics and one excerise room in the new section and at the old 1965 section, it consists of a larger library and computer room formerly split into three shops for textiles, merchandising and assembly), weight room (child care), photography (hairstyling), the CYW office/classroom (assembly and production), drama arts (visual arts), and renovated staff and home economics rooms (food and baking rooms) as well as the chapel, credit recovery room, and the music room that was formerly four classrooms and a library respectively. The gymnasium and cafetorium were renovated. • In the upper level, the third floor, the arts/Com Tech/business wing originally designed with six academic classrooms and presumably four science labs. Currently, it has three classrooms, one ESL room, two computer labs, one Special Education room and one visual arts studio. In 2011, however, Portables made their way back to the facility to accommodate more students in the existing campus since the addition was added. There are 3 portables. Jean Vanier also has a diverse population consisting of South Asians, Filipinos, Whites, Latin Americans, Blacks/African Canadians, Chinese, Arabs, and several other ethnic minorities. Academics[edit] Since its inception, Jean Vanier offers various courses in the comprehensive academic program for its students. Students can choose from a variety of courses at the academic, applied, and open levels. These, and other specialized courses, help prepare students for university, college, or the world of work after they have completed their studies at the school. Vanier currently offers math, English, science, Canadian History, geography, and religious studies. It also has special education programs. Vanier, every year, competes in the University of Waterloo mathematics competition.

The creativity, style, expression, compassion and unique artistic approach is very obvious in 5 Arts Disciplines such as drama, instrumental/vocal music, visual arts, and photography. The drum line was introduced in 2012 by Michael Fanning, a new music teacher at the school.[12] The combined art, music, technology show called Festival of Sight and Sound started by the arts department in the 1990s consisting of the talents of the music students as well as the work of the Art, Drama and Photography students. It is held in December and May each semester. On March 6, 2014, Vanier was selected for the Musicounts Band Aid Grant program costing at $600,000. The school received their $10,000 in equipment for the drum line program such as the marimba and a complete set of cymbals.[13][14] The guests were Juno Award-winning musicians Classified and David Myles who also performed their single Inner Ninja live in front of 300 students.[14] Athletics[edit] The Jean Vanier Maverick has held a history of athletic excellence, which continues today. The school was well represented with the colours of red, black, silver and compete in the TDCAA locally and OFSAA provincially. So far, Vanier Mavericks compete in basketball, volleyball, soccer, flag football, rugby, cross country, track and field, badminton, and indoor soccer. It notably previously competed in ice hockey and curling. The goal of the program is success through participation. The school's Student-Athletes succeed through: • Skill development and teamwork • Recognizing and respecting the skills of their opponents • Competing with tireless effort and with the highest level of integrity • Combining academic excellence with sports • Displaying Christian values that will allow to be leaders of tomorrow Technology[edit] Continuing with the broadbased technology, Jean Vanier offers a unique blend of courses not found in any other schools such as CITI Motive (Automotive Class) - Dual High School / College Credits, Communications Technology, Partnership with Apple Inc., Yearbook (Desktop Publishing), Photography, among others. The Communications Technology program began in 2000 under the leadership of Thomas Gilmor and Roy Ilulani with 60 students and has since gone to 250. "In the service of the community"[edit] In today's world, the students practice an active, faith life through service to the community. The education component is learned through religion classes, regular school practices and through special initiatives such as their affiliation with Development and Peace.

2,433,644,672,269,872,600	Yacht I bet you never heard of them. September 30, 2009 at 7:15 pm (music) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ) I heard about the group yacht by looking through an issue of Rolling Stones, the one explaining why the Beatles broke up. There were a lot of other bands in there that I didn’t look up, but I thought Yacht looked interesting. They were number 8 on college radio top 10 albums. College radio usually has a lot of off beat stuff which is something that Yacht is, off beat. It was the description that made me look them up. “This dance rock crew release its new album-packed with rubbery synths and Nintendo bloops” My favorite of their songs are Psychic City (Voodoo City) and Summer Song. Both of the music videos feature actors that look somewhat similar to the actual band members. Psychic city shows yin and yang with the female in black representing voodoo and the male in white representing Catholism who both battle and find love . Summer song pokes fun at making music videos without a budget. I crack up everytime I see it. What do you think about this band? Good or too weird?

-3,081,635,139,056,257,500	Skip to main content Advertisement Influence of low ambient temperature on epitympanic temperature measurement: a prospective randomized clinical study Article metrics Abstract Background Epitympanic temperature (Tty) measured with thermistor probes correlates with core body temperature (Tcore), but the reliability of measurements at low ambient temperature is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine if commercially-available thermistor-based Tty reflects Tcore in low ambient temperature and if Tty is influenced by insulation of the ear. Methods Thirty-one participants (two females) were exposed to room (23.2 ± 0.4 °C) and low (−18.7 ± 1.0 °C) ambient temperature for 10 min using a randomized cross-over design. Tty was measured using an epitympanic probe (M1024233, GE Healthcare Finland Oy) and oesophageal temperature (Tes) with an oesophageal probe (M1024229, GE Healthcare Finland Oy) inserted into the lower third of the oesophagus. Ten participants wore ear protectors (Arton 2200, Emil Lux GmbH & Co. KG, Wermelskirchen, Switzerland) to insulate the ear from ambient air. Results During exposure to room temperature, mean Tty increased from 33.4 ± 1.5 to 34.2 ± 0.8 °C without insulation of the ear and from 35.0 ± 0.8 to 35.5 ± 0.7 °C with insulation. During exposure to low ambient temperature, mean Tty decreased from 32.4 ± 1.6 to 28.5 ± 2.0 °C without insulation and from 35.6 ± 0.6 to 35.2 ± 0.9 °C with insulation. The difference between Tty and Tes at low ambient temperature was reduced by 82 % (from 7.2 to 1.3 °C) with insulation of the ear. Conclusions Epitympanic temperature measurements are influenced by ambient temperature and deviate from Tes at room and low ambient temperature. Insulating the ear with ear protectors markedly reduced the difference between Tty and Tes and improved the stability of measurements. The use of models to correct Tty may be possible, but results should be validated in larger studies. Background Accurate measurement of core body temperature (Tcore) can be fundamental for guiding treatment and triage decisions in emergency care of patients. Although invasive techniques remain the gold standard for Tcore measurement (pulmonary artery or lower third of the oesophagus) these sites are not practical in emergency situations [1]. Temperature at the tympanic membrane was originally proposed as a less invasive alternative for estimation of Tcore [2, 3]. Previous investigations have shown that with precise placement in the lower anterior quadrant of the tympanic membrane, tympanic temperature is highly correlated with intracranial temperature and changes in temperature [4] and, importantly, that tympanic temperature is independent from the influence of changes in skin temperature [3]. Epitympanic temperature (Tty) measured with a thermistor probe in the ear canal correlates with Tcore in hypothermic patients [5, 6] and may be a non-invasive alternative for diagnosing the severity of hypothermia in victims of accidental hypothermia [7, 8]. Case reports of deep hypothermic patients have shown that Tty measured prehospitally was comparable to Tcore measured invasively at hospital admission [911], but there is still a lack of data on the reliability of epitympanic measurements at low ambient temperature. Early studies compared Tty to oesophageal temperature (Tes) during exposure to moderately low temperatures (between 0 and 10 °C) [3, 12, 13], though ambient conditions in many prehospital situations are commonly much colder with confounding environmental factors. Only two case series (five participants each) describe Tty measured with self-made devices during cold exposure (between −20 and −32 °C) [5, 14]. Pre-hospital use of commercially-available thermometers falls outside the tested operating conditions, since standard probes are validated in-hospital under relatively stable conditions [1]. The aim of this study was to determine if commercially-available thermistor-based Tty reflects Tcore in low ambient temperature and if Tty is influenced by insulation of the ear. Methods Design, setting and participants Volunteers were recruited from the local mountain rescue organization. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to participation in the study. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Regional Hospital of Bolzano, Italy. Participants were in good cardiopulmonary health; a clinical history and medical examination were conducted to exclude acute or chronic conditions or abnormalities of the ear canal or upper airways. Cerumen was removed from the ear canal if necessary. Participants were instructed to fast for at least 6 h prior to testing. We used a randomized cross-over design. Participants were randomly assigned to group A or B; group A was exposed to low temperature first followed by room temperature (n = 15); group B was exposed to room temperature first followed by low temperature (n = 16). A climate chamber with controlled temperature settings was used for the low temperature setting and a medical examination office for the room temperature setting. Monitoring An oesophageal probe (9F general purpose sterile probe M1024229, GE Healthcare Finland Oy) was inserted via the naris into the lower third of the oesophagus [15] after anesthesia of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa with topical 2 % lidocaine solution. An epitympanic probe (M1024233, GE Healthcare Finland Oy) was inserted according to the product instructions into the right ear and fixed to the lobe using standard surgical tape to prevent displacement. Ten participants additionally used industrial ear protectors (Arton 2200, Emil Lux GmbH & Co. KG, Wermelskirchen, Switzerland) to insulate the ear from ambient air. After successful insertion, the probes were connected to an intensive care monitor (Compact Anesthesia Monitor, GE Healthcare Finland Oy). Protocol Probes were placed after at least 30 min of rest. After placement of the probes in the medical examination office, participants were guided to the first test setting. Measurements were recorded every 5 s for a total duration of 10 min for each location (participants were in a seated position for the testing duration). The interval to transfer to the second test setting and commence data recording was between 3 and 5 min. Complete winter clothing including a hat was allowed during measurements at low temperature but was removed during measurements at room temperature. Data analysis Descriptive data are reported as mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise indicated. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare (i) Tes and Tty in the same person at a specified duration of exposure and (ii) Tes or Tty in the same person between the first and last measurement. The Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney test was used to compare Tes or Tty between groups A and B and the Pearson coefficient to correlate differences between Tes or Tty in the room and low temperature setting. The Bland-Altman plot and concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) [16] were used to quantify the agreement between Tes and Tty. A model to correct Tty was developed using a linear regression. The statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (Version 22.0.0.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA); the Bland-Altman plot and CCC were calculated using MedCalc (Version 9.3.7.0, MedCalc Software, Ostend, Belgium). P <0.05 was considered significant. Results There were 31 participants (two females) with mean age 38 ± 12 years (range 22–61 years). The ambient air temperature in the room temperature setting was 23.2 ± 0.4 °C and in the low temperature setting was −18.7 ± 1.0 °C. In one participant the oesophageal probe was displaced after 5 min at room temperature and the last 5 min of measurements had to be excluded from the analysis. In one participant the monitor data was not stored and manually recorded measurements were used for the last 4 min at low temperature. Measurements at room temperature Temperature measurements during testing at room temperature are shown in Fig. 1a. Mean Tes was 36.8 ± 0.4 °C at 0 min and 36.8 ± 0.3 °C at 9:35 min (n = 30, p = 0.124). Without insulation of the ear, mean Tty increased from 33.4 ± 1.5 °C at 0 min to 34.2 ± 0.8 °C at 9:35 min (n = 21, p = 0.004). With insulation of the ear (using the ear protector), mean Tty increased from 35.0 ± 0.8 °C at 0 min to 35.5 ± 0.7 °C at 9:35 min (n = 10, p = 0.005). Fig. 1 figure1 Epitympanic temperature (Tty) at room temperature (a; 23.2 ± 0.4 °C) and low temperature (b; −18.7 ± 1.0 °C) in relation to exposure time in minutes. Data are displayed for group A (solid lines; exposure to low followed by room temperature), group B (dotted lines; exposure to room followed by low temperature), with insulation of the ear (black) and without insulation of the ear (grey) Based on a Bland-Altman plot (Fig. 2), the mean difference between Tty without insulation of the ear and Tes was 2.9 °C and the correlation was weak (CCC = 0.03, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.00–0.06, n = 21). The mean difference was less with insulation of the ear (1.5 °C) and the correlation was not significant (CCC = 0.11, 95 % CI −0.05–0.27, n = 10). Fig. 2 figure2 Bland-Altman plots of individual data for mean Tes and Tty at room temperature (a, without insulation of the ear; b, with insulation) and low temperature (c, without insulation of the ear; d, with insulation). The solid line is the mean of differences and the dashed lines are the limits of agreement (mean ± 1.96 standard deviation) In the room temperature setting, Tty without insulation of the ear was lower at 0 min in group A (32.0 ± 0.9 °C; n = 10) compared to B (34.6 ± 0.7 °C; n = 11, p <0.001), but was not different with insulation of the ear (p = 0.476). Measurements at low temperature Temperature measurements during testing at low temperature are shown in Fig. 1b. Mean Tes was 36.7 ± 0.4 °C at 0 min and 36.8 ± 0.4 °C at 9:15 min (n = 31, p = 0.001). Without insulation of the ear, mean Tty decreased from 32.4 ± 1.6 °C at 0 min to 28.5 ± 2.0 °C at 9:15 min (n = 21, p <0.001). With insulation of the ear, mean Tty decreased from 35.6 ± 0.6 °C at 0 min to 35.2 ± 0.9 °C at 9:15 min (n = 10, p = 0.007). Based on a Bland-Altman plot (Fig. 2), the mean difference between Tty without insulation of the ear and Tes was 7.2 °C and the correlation was not significant (CCC = 0, 95 % CI −0.01–0.01, n = 21). The mean difference was less with insulation of the ear (1.3 °C), which was similar to the mean difference at room temperature (1.5 °C). The correlation between Tty with insulation of the ear and Tes was not significant (CCC = 0.18, 95 % CI −0.02–0.37, n = 10). In the low temperature setting, Tty without insulation of the ear was lower at 0 min in group A (31.5 ± 1.4 °C; n = 10) compared to B (33.3 ± 1.3 °C; n = 11, p = 0.008), but was not different with insulation of the ear (p = 0.352). Individual variability in temperature To understand the influence of inter-individual variability, the difference between Tty and Tes at 3 min at room temperature was correlated to the difference between Tty and Tes at 3 min at low temperature for each individual. We chose 3 min to reduce the variability seen in some measurements in the first minutes after exposure. The measurements were correlated, suggesting that individuals with a large deviation between Tty and Tes in one setting also had a large deviation in the other setting. The correlation was stronger with insulation of the ear (r = 0.907, n = 10, p <0.001) compared to without (r = 0.446, n = 21, p = 0.043). Model for predicting core temperature Tty was corrected (Tty_c) using a linear regression model to predict Tes from Tty at 3 min . The model at room temperature was T ty_c = 32.32 + 0.134 * T ty without insulation of the ear and T ty_c = 26.394 + 0.295 * T ty with insulation. The model at low temperature was T ty_c = 37.025 - 0.008 * T ty without insulation and T ty_c = 17.15 + 0.55 * T ty with insulation. Based on a Bland-Altman plot (Fig. 3), the differences between Tty_c and Tes were correlated at room temperature without insulation (CCC = 0.446, 95 % CI 0.129–0.681, n = 21) and at low temperature with insulation (CCC = 0.659, 95 % CI 0.172–0.887, n = 10); at room temperature with insulation the correlation was not significant (CCC = 0.389, 95 % CI −0.107–0.730, n = 10). At low temperature without insulation, Fig. 3c shows that model correction was not effective and measurements were not correlated (CCC = 0.009, 95 % CI −0.036–0.054, n = 21). Fig. 3 figure3 Bland-Altman plots of individual data for Tes and Tty_c at room temperature (a, without insulation of the ear; b, with insulation) and low temperature (c, without insulation of the ear; d, with insulation). The solid line is the mean of differences and the dashed lines are the limits of agreement (mean ± 1.96 standard deviation). Tty_c are corrected values of Tty at 3 min derived from a linear regression model to predict Tes Discussion We report the influence of low ambient temperature and individual factors on temperature measured epitympanically using a thermistor-based probe. We found a deviation from the reference Tcore that was markedly reduced with insulation of the ear from ambient air using an ear protector. We also propose a model to correct Tty. Nevertheless, inter-individual variability remained and variations in probe placement likely account for some of the variability. Influence of ambient temperature Epitympanic measurements were influenced by ambient temperature. During exposure to room temperature, mean Tty increased by 0.8 °C, whereas it decreased by 3.9 °C during exposure to low temperature. Similarly, mean deviation from Tes was >50 % higher in the low temperature setting compared to the room temperature setting. However, it is interesting that the difference to Tes in our data was reduced with simple external insulation with an ear protector; with insulation the mean difference to Tes was reduced by 52 % in the room temperature setting (difference of 2.9 to 1.5 °C) and by 82 % in the low temperature setting (7.2 to 1.3 °C; Fig. 2). This suggests that the ear cover limits exchange of ambient air, thus creating a “microclimate” in the ear canal, though the influence of ambient temperature on Tty was not completely removed. Moreover, previous studies of Tty that also insulated the ear or ear canal reported that measurements required several minutes to stabilize [5, 12, 13], even if an external device was used to heat the ear protector [12]. In our study, Tty without insulation of the ear did not stabilize and showed rapid and constant decreases over 10 min in low ambient temperature. This explains the differences in Tty at baseline between group A and B—for example, in the room temperature setting mean Tty at 0 min was lower in group A than B because they had already been exposed to low ambient temperature and adaptation to the warmer temperature was still occurring in the first minutes. Inter-individual variability We found that the degree of deviation of Tty from Tes in both ambient air settings was different between individuals, i.e. individuals with a large deviation in one setting also had a large deviation in the other setting. This is partially due to differences in placement of the probe. Temperature in the ear canal seems to decrease with increasing distance from the tympanic membrane [17, 18], and thus Tty will be less reflective of Tcore with increasing distance. The distance between the sensor and the tympanic membrane will vary slightly between individuals because of differences in anatomy (length, width, shape) that affect insertion depth. Additionally, there may be other unknown physiological factors such as individual differences in the vascular anatomy of the ear and thermal conductivity and perfusion of the tissues that could influence the absolute difference between Tty and Tcore in an individual. Practical implications Measuring Tcore is the only way to accurately assess the severity of hypothermia. There are other commonly used scales to stage hypothermia based on clinical signs and symptoms, but these are not always reliable since there are differences in consciousness among patients at a given Tcore [19]. Patients with mild hypothermia (Tcore 35 to 32 °C) can be treated in the field if they are uninjured or transported to the closest hospital if in-field rewarming is not possible, whereas patients with moderate hypothermia (Tcore <32 °C) should be transported to the most appropriate hospital on the basis of cardiac stability [7]. The results of our study show a large difference (7.2 °C) between mean Tty and Tcore at low temperature, which in practical terms could lead to wrong triage and transport even of normothermic patients. These results also suggest that Tty without insulation of the ear does not stabilize within 10 min, and thus is impractical for applications that require rapid measurement and/or accurate monitoring of changes in Tcore. The models to correct Tty seem to give a valid estimation of Tes for measurements at room temperature without insulation of the ear and at low temperature with insulation. It was unexpected that the correlation between Tty_c and Tes at room temperature with insulation was low and non-significant, though this is probably due to the small sample size (n = 10). In comparison to these three conditions, it was not possible to create a realistic model for measurements at low temperature without insulation. Thus in order to reliably predict Tcore from epitympanic temperature, modification of currently available devices (i.e. ear cover) and development of an appropriate model to correct for ambient temperature may be necessary. Thermistor-based Tty probes are non-invasive and easy to use and could be used with standard patient monitors. This would also allow continuous monitoring of ECG and Tcore, as recommended in international guidelines for pre-hospital management of accidental and therapeutic hypothermia [7]. Limitations and further research The results are based on measurements in healthy, normothermic volunteers at rest in the two reported ambient temperatures and may not be applicable for other populations (e.g. patients in cardiac arrest, trauma) or ambient conditions. The models to correct Tty should be validated with a larger sample size. The lack of correlation between Tes and Tty (or Tty_c) at room temperature with insulation may be due to the small sample size (n = 10). Further investigations are needed to understand if models could account for other factors characteristic of the prehospital environment such as rapidly changing conditions and wind. Conclusion Epitympanic temperature measurements are influenced by ambient temperature and deviate from Tes at room temperature and low ambient temperature. Insulating the ear with standard industrial ear protectors markedly reduced the difference between Tty and Tes and improved the stability of measurements over the testing duration. The use of models to correct Tty may be possible, but results should be validated in larger studies.

Ethics approval was granted by the Regional Hospital of Bolzano, Italy. Participants were healthy, with normal ear canals; cerumen was removed if necessary. A 6 h fast was required. A randomized cross-over design assigned participants to: - Group A: low temperature first, then room temperature (n = 15) - Group B: room temperature first, then low temperature (n = 16) Low temperature tests used a climate chamber (−18.7 ± 1.0 °C); room temperature tests were in a medical office (23.2 ± 0.4 °C). ### Monitoring - Oesophageal probe (9F M1024229) inserted into the lower third of the oesophagus after topical lidocaine. - Epitympanic probe (M1024233) inserted into the right ear canal and fixed. - Ten participants also used industrial ear protectors (Arton 2200) for insulation. - Probes connected to an intensive care monitor. ### Protocol - Probes placed after 30 min rest. - Measurements recorded every 5 s for 10 min per setting, seated. - Transfer time between settings: 3–5 min. - Winter clothing allowed in cold setting; removed at room temperature. ### Data analysis - Descriptive data: mean ± SD. - Wilcoxon signed-rank test: compare Tes vs Tty and changes over time. - Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney: compare between groups A and B. - Pearson coefficient: correlate differences between settings. - Bland-Altman plot and concordance correlation coefficient (CCC)^[16]: assess agreement. - Linear regression: model to correct Tty to predict Tes. - Software: SPSS v22; MedCalc v9.3.7.0. - P < 0.05 significant. --- ## Results ### Participants and measurements - Total: 31 participants (2 females), age 38 ± 12 years (22–61). - One oesophageal probe displacement (excluded last 5 min room temp). - One monitor data loss (manually recorded last 4 min low temp). ### Measurements at room temperature - Mean Tes: 36.8 ± 0.4 °C at 0 min vs 36.8 ± 0.3 °C at 9:35 min (n = 30, p = 0.124). - Tty without insulation: 33.4 ± 1.5 °C → 34.2 ± 0.8 °C (n = 21, p = 0.004). - Tty with insulation: 35.0 ± 0.8 °C → 35.5 ± 0.7 °C (n = 10, p = 0.005). Bland-Altman (room temp): - Without insulation: mean difference Tty–Tes = 2.9 °C; CCC = 0.03 (95% CI 0.00–0.06). - With insulation: mean difference = 1.5 °C; CCC = 0.11 (95% CI −0.05–0.27). ### Measurements at low temperature - Mean Tes: 36.7 ± 0.4 °C → 36.8 ± 0.4 °C (n = 31, p = 0.001). - Tty without insulation: 32.4 ± 1.6 °C → 28.5 ± 2.0 °C (n = 21, p < 0.001). - Tty with insulation: 35.6 ± 0.6 °C → 35.2 ± 0.9 °C (n = 10, p = 0.007). Bland-Altman (low temp): - Without insulation: mean difference = 7.2 °C; CCC = 0.00 (95% CI −0.01–0.01). - With insulation: mean difference = 1.3 °C; CCC = 0.18 (95% CI −0.02–0.37). ### Individual variability Differences Tty–Tes at 3 min were correlated between room and low temperature within individuals: - With insulation: r = 0.907 (n = 10, p < 0.001). - Without insulation: r = 0.446 (n = 21, p = 0.043). ### Model for predicting core temperature Linear regression models (Tty_c predicts Tes from Tty at 3 min): - Room temp, without insulation: T ty_c = 32.32 + 0.134 × T ty - Room temp, with insulation: T ty_c = 26.394 + 0.295 × T ty - Low temp, without insulation: T ty_c = 37.025 − 0.008 × T ty - Low temp, with insulation: T ty_c = 17.15 + 0.55 × T ty Bland-Altman for Tty_c vs Tes: - Room temp without insulation: CCC = 0.446 (95% CI 0.129–0.681). - Room temp with insulation: CCC = 0.389 (95% CI −0.107–0.730). - Low temp without insulation: CCC = 0.009 (95% CI −0.036–0.054). - Low temp with insulation: CCC = 0.659 (95% CI 0.172–0.887). --- ## Discussion - Ambient temperature influence: Tty increased at room temp, decreased at low temp. Deviation from Tes was >50% higher at low temp. - Ear insulation: Ear protectors reduced mean difference to Tes by 52% (room) and 82% (low). Ear cover creates a microclimate but does not fully remove ambient effects. - Individual variability: Likely due to probe placement depth, anatomical differences, vascular anatomy, tissue perfusion. - Practical implications: Uninsulated Tty is not stable within 10 min at low temp—unsuitable for rapid triage. Corrective models show promise for some conditions; devices may need modification (ear cover) and model integration for reliable prediction. --- ## Limitations and further research - Healthy, normothermic volunteers; results may not apply to other populations (e.g., cardiac arrest, trauma). - Models require validation with larger samples. - Prehospital conditions (wind, rapid changes) need investigation. --- ## Conclusion Epitympanic temperature measurements are influenced by ambient temperature and deviate from oesophageal temperature at room and low settings. Insulating the ear markedly reduced this difference and improved measurement stability. Corrective models may be possible but need validation in larger studies. --- ## Ethics Approved by the Ethics Committee of the Regional Hospital of Bolzano, Italy. Written informed consent obtained from all participants. --- ## References 1. Strapazzon G, Procter E, Paal P, Brugger H.

Steps to reproduce 1. Enemy champion uses Zhonya’s Stopwatch. 2. Soraka casts Equinox (E) covering the stasis area. 3. When the stopwatch ends, the champion exits stasis inside the circle. 4. The champion is able to cast spells for a short time before the silence applies. Expected result The target should be silenced immediately upon exiting stasis. Actual result There’s a delay before the silence takes effect, allowing the target to use abilities. Is this intended?	119	188	-2,721,253,853,673,275,400	base	[ "base" ]	true	null

Means for washing approach the purchase of tools for the care of an acrylic bath properly. Because the surface of such baths “sensitive” and cannot be used powders containing solvents. Steel small bathroom remodel is a big plus and a big minus. The main advantages include the fact that it is a very economical way. Due to the low cost is very often the selection of consumers – to benefit the steel pieces. Also, the cost does not appear in the external form of the enamel coating is not inferior bathtubs made of cast iron, and the variety of forms does not stand out from the bath of acrylic. Also bath made of harder steel acrylic, but cheaper. Not paying attention to these advantages, there are disadvantages: • The noise when water is typed. This ringing can be heard even through the wall. To mute the sounds unpleasant, small bathroom remodel ideas equipped with specialized seals based on rubber. • Most heat loss. The water in the bath of steel is cooled quickly enough, and so it is definitely not suitable for those people who like to soak in the foam water and think about life. • Deformation. Sometimes the bathroom walls can bend because they are not thick enough. Choose a bath right – under the growth and your weight, otherwise inevitable deformation. Whirlpool stands out from all of the above baths due to its construction and executed mission. Such an instance – the perfect solution for people who have no problems with health. Based on the name of the baths, we conclude that the main objective of such a bath is considered a massage. Massage is performed with air water streams. These baths can help to relax and make the stronger health. Very often hot tubs made from acrylic, rarely – from cast iron. Cast iron hot tubs – it is not very reasonable, because they are incredibly heavy and expensive. Water streams in the bath are made by the pump and compressor. Take a good look at the pump capacity and the number of nozzles. The more nozzles into a bath, the stronger must be the pump. The replacement will be the presence of 2-pump if the bath has jets for back massage. The compressor is responsible for the presence of air in the water jet, and with the remote you can check the number of air (not on all models). A very important condition is considered to be the number of nozzles; a lot of them should not be, because that decreases the quality and effectiveness of massage. Small as their number does not provide a full body massage. The ideal number of nozzles – from 12 to 30. The thickness of the walls of the bath will be about 10 mm, this value enough to supply reliable products. How to choose a towel dryer and understand which one is better? When repairing the small bathroom remodels is done the replacement of obsolete equipment, the list of which includes a towel dryer is connected to the heating system or hot water. When choosing a new heater must be evaluated not only by its visual appeal, but also the strength of the manufacturing material. Not every device is able to withstand the operating pressure drops, resulting in the heating system, a block of flats. Please note that the peak value of this index can reach up to 10 atmospheres. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose a towel dryer and any product specifications to pay attention to the paramount consideration. It has the meaning and the correct installation of the equipment purchased. Typically, device assembly is performed prior to the finish decorating the room. This is advantageous both in finance and in the time spent on installation work. Many of the problems easier to manage to solve using electric models.

3,775,417,847,838,229,500	Life Hacks: 7 Ways To Stop The Drama Life Hacks: 7 Ways To Stop The Drama Anybody else sick of all the drama? I know I am! Living life in peace, happily ever after, is no longer the default. Drama is the new sex. Drama sells. And not only in the paper, the tabloids or on TV… We all know them from closeby. People who seem to jump from one near disaster to another. Each situation never becomes totally disastrous, just enough to keep the drama going and us engaged. Certain people want drama. They chase it. Dramaholics that crave to ramp up a dull or uninspired life. Why? Because it makes them feel alive? Because it makes them feel like they matter? Drama is a habit. And a very unproductive one. And like breaking any unproductive habit, it can be difficult to break out of the drama habit. It can require a considerable amount of discipline and practice, but the effort is well worthwhile. How can you stop that drama train? Here are seven secrets to become healthy, happy and drama free. Life Hacks: #1 Recognize when you might be creating drama First you need to take a good hard honest look at your life. Is there drama in multiple areas of your life? Remember that you are the one constant factor in all of the situations. Are you creating the drama? If so, what’s the payoff for you? Because we don’t do anything repeatedly unless there’s something in it for us. Are you looking for attention or excitement? Did you grow up with drama and you just plain feel best when there’s some around you? Eliminate the drama by finding alternative solutions. If you’re looking for attention, can you get it more directly? If it is boredom, what new adventure can create in your life? #2 Avoid participating in gossip Humans are social creatures and they tend to talk about each other. Sometimes you might think that your gossip is good news and that makes it okay, but you never know how someone else might spin what you’re saying. It’s best to avoid gossip whenever possible. #3 Don’t feed into other people’s drama Support a friend with a flair for the dramatic, but try not to get involved in every crisis. If you know she’s just overreacting, allow her to vent. Give yourself a window of time when you’ll listen, and then take care of your own needs by changing the subject to something more positive. Refuse to participate in any pity party. Oftentimes people calm down when their complaints aren’t validated. And if you focus on your breath, your calming energy may even help them to let go. #4 Learn from drama Sometimes it seems like drama happens to us, and we’re powerless to remove ourselves from it. Change your perspective. Every time you find yourself in something that seems overwhelming, you have an opportunity to learn how to deal with challenges better. Life will always involve those mini fires that you feel desperate to put out. If you can learn not to fan them, they may actually be able to light your way. #5 Break the chain Drama occurs because multiple people become involved. If there aren’t others involved, it’s simply a problem. Once multiple people make it their business, it turns into drama. And when that happens, trying to stop the drama becomes that much harder. It requires someone who’s willing to break the chain of gossip, anxiety, and negativity. That should be you. You hear a rumor? You shut it down. Someone is complaining? You remain positive. It takes at least two to be dramatic. Don’t let it happen. #6 Lighten up! Improve your sense of humor. Staying positive and being able to laugh at situations, like arriving at a party wearing the same dress as two other women or hearing a rude comment made about you, will help you rise above potential drama. Small minds thrive on drama, big minds laugh at drama. #7 Stop watching TV Actually this should be the #1! All the news, the reality TV-shows, the entertainment and celebrity news, the cupcake bakers-, chopper builders-, and treasure hunter-shows are presented in the most dramatic way possible. TV networks know that people are instinctively drawn to drama so they spin it in a way that grabs your attention with a focus on drama and fear. And because it is all about viewers and ratings, they are less concerned with the truth than they are with making it sound incredibly dramatic. Face it, if you regularly watch TV you are being manipulated. For the benefit of the advertisers. And if you succeed in keeping drama at a minimum in your life, during stressful times or when dealing with certain people you might find drama popping up more than you’d like. Then come back to this blogpost. It is not an end-all to avoiding drama, but putting the above into practice will certainly help you start the drama removal process in your life.

Strange protocol Не осилили 6. File (который /root/file) в общем, сначала захотелось понять, что это за файл: #file file file: LVM2 PV (Linux Logical Volume Manager), UUID: XT6zLL-YAUv-nmA9-BSrw-2pBV-CTi2-vqKe35, size: 31457280 потом вспомнил, что есть такая приблуда, как kpartx, которая монтирует образы дисков. #kpartx -a file получилось loopback устройство /dev/loop0 просканировал физические тома: # pvscan PV /dev/loop0 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [28,00 MiB / 0 free] потом активировал группу томов: #vgchange -a y VolGroup00 после этого появился логическй том lv0 в /dev/VolGroup00 и его теперь можно подмонтировать в предварительно созданный каталог с названием yadisk: # mount /dev/VolGroup00/lv0 yadisk там в корне лежит файлик root.txt.gz, содержимое которого яндексу не понравилось. после этого возникла мысль, что, возможно, на разделе есть затёртый файл, который нужно восстановить. смотрм, что за файловая система смонтирована: #mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lv0 on /tmp/yadisk type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache) ага… btrfs… возникает мысль о том, что используются subvolumes. проверяем: # btrfs subvolume list yadisk/ ID 256 gen 11 top level 5 path root ID 257 gen 14 top level 5 path root_1 на всякий пожарный проверяем, какой том монтируется по умолчанию: # btrfs subvolume get-default yadisk/ ID 256 gen 11 top level 5 path root значит нужно смонтировать root_1 и посмотреть, что в нём: # mkdir root_1 # mount -o subvol=root_1 /dev/VolGroup00/lv0 root_1/ # ls -lR root_1 root_1: итого 4 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 апр 9 18:05 root -rw-r–r– 1 root root 66 дек 23 21:30 root.txt.gz root_1/root: итого 0 # zcat root_1/root.txt.gz You fount it! D2Dfbb4Sxxkl23Dfcs1082 таким образом, делаем вывод о том, что именно этот файл мы и должны были найти. 7.

4,065,961,808,720,777,000	Translator Disclaimer 1 November 2004 Testicular Phenotype in Luteinizing Hormone Receptor Knockout Animals and the Effect of Testosterone Replacement Therapy Author Affiliations + Abstract The LH receptor knockout model, developed in our laboratory, was used in determining what FSH alone can do in the absence of LH signaling and whether any of the testicular LH actions are not mediated by androgens. The results revealed that null animals contained smaller seminiferous tubules, which contained the same number of Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, and early spermatocytes as wild-type siblings. The number of late spermatocytes, on the other hand, was moderately decreased, the number of round spermatids was dramatically decreased, and elongated spermatids were completely absent. These changes appear to be due to an increase in apoptosis in spermatocytes. While the number of Leydig cells progressively increased from birth to 60 days of age in wild-type animals, they remained unchanged in null animals. Consequently, 60-day-old null animals contained only a few Leydig cells of fetal type. The age-dependent increase in testicular macrophages lagged behind in null animals compared with wild-type siblings. Orchidopexy indicated that −/− testicular phenotype was not due to abdominal location. Rather, it was mostly due to androgen deficiency, as 21-day testosterone replacement therapy stimulated the growth of seminiferous tubules, decreased apoptosis, and increased the number of late spermatocytes and round spermatids and their subsequent differentiation into mature sperm. The therapy, however, failed to restore adult-type Leydig cells and testicular macrophage numbers to the wild-type levels. In summary, our data support the concept that FSH signaling alone can maintain the proliferation and development of Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, and early spermatocytes. LH actions mediated by testosterone are required for completion of spermatogenesis, and finally, androgen-independent actions of LH are required for the formation of adult-type Leydig cells and recruitment of macrophages into the testes.

2,887,140,263,448,077,000	How to Cope With Rising Gas Prices Gasoline pricesOn Dec. 17, Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Oil Price Information Service, wrote on his blog that "we have never, ever celebrated Christmas day with U.S. gasoline prices at $3 a gallon or higher." All of that changed a few days later, when the national average hit $3.01 two days before Christmas and just in time to pluck a few more dollars out of the wallets of holiday travelers. Kloza tells me that we started 2011 with the highest gas prices ever for January, which doesn't bode well for the coming months. Still, the sky isn't falling. "There's a lot of hyperbole out there, with $4 and $5 numbers. Will you see $4 a gallon by summer? Sure, if you return the rental car unfilled and they charge you that ridiculous price for gas. But generally, we're in the second-highest price environment ever, and I think $3.50 and $3.75 will be the top." Even so, that's a lot of money to fill our gas tanks. Kloza says a peak of $3.75 a gallon would equate to about $1.4 billion a day, a lot of cash to get from point A to point B. Here's how the impact will translate to your wallet -- and your investments: Return to Cost-Cutting Mode. Certain thresholds cause consumers to start changing their behavior, says Kloza. When gas is over $3 a gallon, we start to think someone is taking advantage of us. We cut back on our discretionary driving a little. But when it hits $3.40 or $3.50 a gallon, we make real changes. In 2008, we carpooled, took public transportation more and used websites like gasbuddy.com to find the cheapest gas prices on our commute. When gas prices dropped, use of some of these cost-saving measures did, too. It's time to bring them back. Find a buddy to commute to work with -- or consolidate your commute with your spouse's. If that's feasible, you can cut your gas costs significantly. To figure out exactly how much you could save, plug a few quick details into drivepricing.com. If you can take a bus or train, you'll save even more (yes, New York, even with last week's fare increases). Finally, try to brainstorm other ways you can save. I like to combine my trips, so I hit the pharmacy and grocery store on the way to pick up my kids from practice. If you live in a bike-friendly area -- and most cities are getting more bikeable all the time -- pedaling more might be a good option. Expect Higher Prices All Around. The cost of crude oil has a trickle-down effect. It hits gas prices, but it also raises diesel and jet-fuel prices. "Those numbers can really infiltrate every nook and cranny of the economy -- pretty much everything in the country. If it moves by rail, it's very diesel-dependent, and if it moves by truck, it's entirely diesel-dependent," says Kloza. Higher energy prices also translate into higher packaging costs. That means we might be paying more at the supermarket, the mall, the take-out place and, of course, the airport. Brands May Suffer. If you're investing in companies that are taking crude oil out of the ground right now, you're likely doing quite well, and that trend will continue. Kloza says with prices over $90 a barrel, you also have a huge safety net: "The price of bringing crude oil to the market varies from $1.50 a barrel to maybe $60 a barrel. So there are tremendous profits being made on the crude oil side. On the refining side, it's spotty, but much better than anticipated." What does tend to get hurt by higher gas prices? "People still need to get fuel, but what happens is other retail companies and restaurants, those are the ones that get threatened by higher prices. If you make branded merchandise, you can feel that pain, and that's what we saw happen in 2008," he explains. The same, of course, goes for the makers of gas-guzzling vehicles like SUVs. So, companies in those categories could see their stock prices suffer.

1,853,702,061,352,133,000	uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter We know that millions of people in the world love Disney as much as we do. But are you so Disney-obsessed that you would want a Disney-themed wedding that feels like a fairy tale? One U.K. couple found a way to make their dream Disney wedding a reality without having to fly all of their family to Walt Disney World. Kristy Goldsmith from the U.K. grew up loving all things Disney. She always wanted her wedding to be at Walt Disney World in Florida, but being from the U.K. it would be pretty difficult for Kristy and her other half, Simon, to fly all of their loved ones to Orlando for the big day. And considering how much Disney Fairy Tale Weddings cost, a ceremony at the Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian or underneath the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom isn’t exactly budget-friendly. We can’t all ride to Magic Kingdom in a horse-drawn carriage for our big day! uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter Luckily, Kristy got to DIYing and created a magical Disney-themed wedding for under $20,000. But if you’re not as in love with Disney as Kristy and Simon are, you might be wondering why they would have a Disney-themed wedding in the first place. But to Kristy, anyone at any age can love Disney and experience the magic. “What I love about Disney the most is that anyone of any age can fall in love with Disney,” the bride said. “You’re never too old or too young and when you hear the music and see the castle, the feelings you have inside are just magical. It’s like a whole new world.” uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith Kristy and Simon had been together for almost a decade when Simon decided to propose in the Most Magical Place on Earth, Walt Disney World. But after Kristy began doing some research, she realized that getting married in Disney World can be extravagant and expensive, and Disney-themed décor can cost a lot, as well. So Kristy came up with a great idea to bring the magic of Disney to the U.K. for her and Simon’s best day ever: she would create her own Disney decorations for a fraction of the price! Kristy’s maid of honor even organized a Disney-themed bachelorette party (or as it’s called in the U.K., a hen party), where all of the guests dressed in Mickey and Minnie colors. uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Kristy Goldsmith Here’s how Kristy explained how the Disney-inspired wedding came to be: “Me and Simon have been together 11-and-a-half years, since we were 15. We met at middle school, went to the same university and studied the same degree,” the bride said. “I’ve always loved Disney and I wanted to get married there. We couldn’t have only half the family attending so we thought we would bring Disney to the UK and have a Disney-themed wedding.” “We planned everything on spreadsheets. This tracked saving, budget, deposits and also an itinerary of what needed to be done when. It went perfectly,” Kristy continued. “I found it very hard to find anything Disney for the wedding which wasn’t very expensive, so I decided to try and do it myself. I also didn’t want loads of ‘in your face’ stuff so I knew by doing it myself I could take something classic and put a hint of Disney into it.” And when it came to those special touches of Mickey Mouse and pixie dust, Kristy and Simon’s day wasn’t lacking one bit. There were hidden Mickeys all over the place! Kristy created her own Mickey-shaped confetti and included Mickey Mouse colors of black, red, yellow, and white all around the venue. Everything was created with Kristy and Simon’s love of Disney in mind. uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter uk disney themed wedding Credit: MDWfeatures / Marcus Charter “I had a Mickey and Minnie shaped cake topper made to match our Disney cake, created Rose heads in the shape on Minnie and Mickey heads, I made my own save the date cards, invites, menus and order of service, the favours were candles with a Mickey and Minnie motif on and I also created our own label for the sweet packets,” explained Kristy. Any couple on a budget can take note of Kristy’s work and create their own DIY Disney-themed wedding. All it takes is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust, and your Disney wedding dream can come true! Would you want to have a Disney-themed wedding? Let us know in the comments!

580,200,876,059,498,000	These were the top-10 fantasy wide receivers from 2006: 1. Marvin Harrison Advertisement 2. Terrell Owens 3. Reggie Wayne 4. Chad Johnson 5. Donald Driver 6. Lee Evans 7. Torry Holt 8. Steve Smith 9. Javon Walker 10. Roy Williams The good Marvin Harrison had a phenomenal finish to the season, scoring six touchdowns in the final three weeks to take over the No. 1 spot for fantasy receivers. Harrison has tallied double-digit touchdowns in eight straight years. Not even the great Jerry Rice did that. Chad Johnson had a brutal first half of 2006. He managed two touchdowns and zero 100-yard games through the season's first nine weeks, but then Ocho Cinco turned it up. He ended up with 1,370 yards and seven touchdowns. Look back on that stat I gave you about Harrison. Johnson has put up double-digit TDs just once in six seasons. Donald Driver deserves more respect from fantasy football players next season. He's piled up over 1,200 yards in three straight seasons and found the end zone eight times in 2006. However, he will be 32-years-old when next season starts. Lee Evans was certainly the biggest surprise in the top-10. He did much of his damage in the season's final month, scoring four touchdowns in the final four weeks. Marques Colston, a seventh-round pick out of Hofstra, was tremendous for the Saints. He piled up 1,038 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games as a rookie. Another guy who was great in his first season as an NFL receiver was Detroit's Mike Furrey, who caught an unbelievable 98 balls for 1,086 yards and six touchdowns. Advertisement The bad My condolences to anyone who drafted Randy Moss. Talk about brutal. Oakland's wide receiver managed an ugly 553 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games. He set career-lows in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Then there was Chris Chambers. I was way off on this guy. Coming off a 2005 performance where he had 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns, I thought Chambers was poised for a monster year with new quarterback Daunte Culpepper at the helm. Well, we all know how that turned out. He ended up with 677 yards and four touchdowns. It will be interesting to see where he gets selected in 2007 drafts. Baltimore's Derrick Mason said he didn't feel appreciated in the Ravens' offense. Fantasy owners would tend to agree. Mason put together five straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2001-2005, but he managed just 750 yards and two touchdowns in 2006. The 33-year-old also set a career-low averaging 11 yards per reception. Questions going forward How early will Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson get picked in fantasy drafts? He's expected to be a top-five pick in the 2007 NFL draft. Will Terrell Owens be a Dallas Cowboy? Can Furrey and Colston build on their breakout years in 2006? Who should be the first WR off the board? Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement	# Top-10 fantasy wide receivers from 2006 1.

Another guy who was great in his first season as an NFL receiver was Detroit's Mike Furrey, who caught an unbelievable 98 balls for 1,086 yards and six touchdowns. ## The bad My condolences to anyone who drafted Randy Moss. Talk about brutal. Oakland's wide receiver managed an ugly 553 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games. He set career-lows in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Then there was Chris Chambers. I was way off on this guy. Coming off a 2005 performance where he had 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns, I thought Chambers was poised for a monster year with new quarterback Daunte Culpepper at the helm. Well, we all know how that turned out. He ended up with 677 yards and four touchdowns. It will be interesting to see where he gets selected in 2007 drafts. Baltimore's Derrick Mason said he didn't feel appreciated in the Ravens' offense. Fantasy owners would tend to agree. Mason put together five straight 1,000-yard seasons from 2001–2005, but he managed just 750 yards and two touchdowns in 2006. The 33-year-old also set a career-low averaging 11 yards per reception. ## Questions going forward - How early will Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson get picked in fantasy drafts? He's expected to be a top-five pick in the 2007 NFL draft. - Will Terrell Owens be a Dallas Cowboy? - Can Furrey and Colston build on their breakout years in 2006? - Who should be the first WR off the board?	653	652	580,200,876,059,498,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null

-7,122,377,519,799,294,000	The aesthetics of ‘case modding’ (modifying a PC’s enclosure) offer plenty of scope for debate and plenty of scope for original circuits. Low current LED indicators are usually ﬁtted in PC enclosures. Although this certainly saves energy, the LEDs do not light particularly brightly. It is not completely straightforward to replace the low-current types with high-brightness types since the latter draw a current of 20 mA rather than 2 mA. This can - whatever people might tell you to the contrary - in some instances lead to excessive load on the LED drivers on the motherboard. Case ModdingThe problem can be solved using a small external driver stage: two resistors and a transistor mounted on a small piece of perforated board, connected in place of the original LED. The new high-brightness LED is then connected between the output of the current source and a spare motherboard ground connection (for example on the infrared port) or to a grounded screw in the enclosure. R1 is responsible for the constant current. High-brightness red LEDs are driven at 20 mA (R1 = 150 Ω), whereas high-brightness blue LEDs require 10 mA (R1 = 75 Ω). In view of the large number of different PC motherboards available, it is not certain that this driver can be used in every PC. It is easy to check whether the circuit will work: use a DC voltmeter to measure the voltage between the positive connection on the LED (generally a red wire or a pin marked with an arrow on the LED connector) and ground (not the other pin of the connector). If this reads +5 V independent of whether the LED is on or not, then the driver can be used.

(2) Divide this interval into four parts to obtain the x-values $0, \frac{2}{3}\pi, \frac{4}{3}\pi, 2\pi, \text{ and } \frac{8}{3}\pi$. (3) Make a table of values using the x-values above. (Refer to the table below.) (4) Plot the five points of the tanle of values then connect them using a sinusoidal curve whose ampliude is $1$. (5) Repeat the cycle of the graph form one more period, which is $[\frac{8}{3}\pi, \frac{16}{3}\pi]$. (Refer to the graph in the answer part above.) Small 1523616213 Update this answer!

One period spans the interval $\bigl[0,\tfrac{8\pi}{3}\bigr]$. 2. Divide this interval into four equal parts, giving \[ x = 0,\quad \tfrac{2\pi}{3},\quad \tfrac{4\pi}{3},\quad 2\pi,\quad \tfrac{8\pi}{3}. \] 3. Make a table of values using these $x$-coordinates. 4. Plot the five points from the table and connect them with a sinusoidal curve of amplitude 1. 5. Repeat this cycle over the next period $\bigl[\tfrac{8\pi}{3},\tfrac{16\pi}{3}\bigr]$.

-4,782,879,900,796,943,000	Eat all the foods you enjoy—but the key is to do it in smaller quantities, says Elisa Zied, RDN, who has lost and kept off more than 30 pounds since her highest weight in high school. In fact, she says it's the number one change she made that's helped her maintain her smaller frame. "I didn't want to feel deprived as I had in previous attempts to lose weight," she says. The worst thing you can do is be too strict, then rebound by overeating because you're not satisfied. Nutritionists are always saying to eat more vegetables, so cook them in a way that takes them from ho-hum to yum. "I even think that steamed veggies can be very boring!" says Ilyse Schapiro, a greater New York City-area registered dietitian. Always incorporate high-flavor add-ons to jazz up veggies, like sautéing with olive oil and garlic, or spraying them with olive oil before throwing them in an oven with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. That way, you don't equate "healthy" with "tasteless," a mindset that will knock you off the veggie bandwagon fast. Another tip: buy a spiralizer and make zucchini noodles. Topped off with a rich tomato sauce, you'll feel like you're eating pasta. Drinking plenty of water can go a long way in flushing out toxins. While you’re on your detox diet, aim to drink eight glasses of filtered water daily. That includes a glass of water (ideally room-temperature or lukewarm) as soon as you wake up in the morning. A helpful hint: opting for lemon water or a DIY infused water may enhance the detoxing effects of your morning hydration. You've heard to make breakfast the biggest meal of your day, but you may not be that hungry when you wake up. In fact, "your biggest meal should be around noon when your digestion is at its peak and you can feed your body when it actually needs fuel," says Dr. Lipman. That means you don't need a huge meal at dinner only to sit and catch up on True Detective and then go to bed. But "big" doesn't mean burger and fry big. At lunch, emphasize protein and greens, like a hearty bowl of lentil soup and kale salad. Another bonus: after dinner you won't have the feeling you need to unbutton your pants. Fasting indeed has a long-standing spiritual tradition. "Almost every religion has some type of fasting ritual -- Lent, Ramadan, Yom Kippur ... the Hindus and Buddhists fast, too," says James Dillard, MD, assistant clinical professor at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. He's author of Alternative Medicinefor Dummies. ×	## Eat all the foods you enjoy Eat all the foods you enjoy—but the key is to do it in smaller quantities, says Elisa Zied, RDN, who has lost and kept off more than 30 pounds since her highest weight in high school.

Do you know what an Agent of the Cosmos is? 'cause I've been wondering -- Quote2 -- Venom (Flash Thompson) Appearing in 1st story Featured Characters: Supporting Characters: • 803 (First appearance) • Cora (First appearance) (Unnamed) Antagonists: • Gholar (First appearance) • Gholar's thugs • Kio (First appearance) (Apparent death) • Kio's pirates Other Characters: • Numerous unnamed aliens • Blait'r (Mentioned) • Cora's children (First appearance) • Klyntar (Mentioned) • Were-Fish (First appearance) • Cora's wife (First appearance) Locations: Items: Vehicles: • Venom's spaceship (Only appearance; destruction) • Kio's spaceship (First appearance) • Agents of the Cosmos' spaceship (First appearance) (Cameo) Synopsis for 1st story Running down a corridor, Venom fires over his shoulder with a laser pistol, while thinking that his situation could have gone better but that broken plays were always his favorite and that all he has to do is run. Thinking to himself that he's like a kid on a playground, Venom leaps out a window as an alien with a set of tentacles for an arm grabs him, and he instinctually retaliates by slicing its tentacle off with an arm-blade. The alien, an arms dealer named Gholar, plummets out the window after him, but Venom maneuvers so that he lands on top of him. Gholar's thugs arrive and open fire, so Venom web-swings away while dodging lasers, thinking to himself that he is an Agent of the Cosmos despite having no idea what that entails, and that he got a message from a ringing voice in his head to travel to that planet to track down a chemical weapon. Venom had found out that Gholar had sold the weapon, YT-19, to a smuggler whose name is on the drive he "borrowed," but his ship is blown up before he can use it to learn the buyer's identity. Leaping through the window of a nearby building, Venom asks an owl-like alien woman if he can borrow her computer, discovering the buyer was a space pirate named Kio, whose ship is due to depart in five minutes. Dodging Gholar's thugs, Venom latches onto the side of Kio's ship as it takes off into space, using the Venom symbiote's tendrils to open the airlock from the outside. Once inside, Venom outlines a plan: find the YT-19, lots of punching, and then steal Kio's ship to replace the one that was blown up. Spotting a bulky robotic silhouette, Venom notes he might have to amend his to-do list so that punching is at the top, and tells the robot to slowly turn around. Forming an arm-blade, Venom asks if he can help the robot and is surprised when it asks to be terminated. The robot explains that it's been in Kio's service for centuries and has become suicidal, but its programming does not permit it to self-destruct. Seeing the robot is not a threat, Venom asks for its name, and the robot introduces itself as 803. Venom asks 803 to show him where the YT-19 is being held, and 803 asks to be destroyed in return, though Venom refuses to confirm that he'll go through with it. 803 opens a storage compartment in the cargo bay and reveals a female alien and her four children, telling Venom that the YT-19 is derived from their blood. Flash thinks to himself that while the Venom symbiote may have been purged of its rage, he wasn't. Inwardly seething with fury, Flash can feel the symbiote feeding off his anger and forces himself to calm down for fear of corrupting it, approaching the aliens. The mother alien tells Venom to stay back, but he assures them he's an Agent of the Cosmos and there to help them escape. Noting the mother alien's relief, he starts to ask if she knows what an Agent of the Cosmos is, but she interrupts to warn him that 803 is working for the pirates. Venom replies that 803 is harmless and only wants to be destroyed. The robot verifies Venom's statement and asks the aliens to terminate him before being cut off by Venom, who tells him to get the mother alien a weapon and stand guard over them until he gets back. 803 asks if Venom will destroy him if he complies, and Venom jokingly replies that he'll do so only if 803 is good. On the ship's bridge, Kio tells his pilot to steer the ship into the Broken Sea. The pilot protests, saying the were-fish will tear the ship apart, but Kio retorts they can use the corpse of the intruder to distract them. As the pilot expresses confusion at Kio's statement, Venom attacks and knocks out one of the crew-members. Kio calmly asks what a Klyntar wants with a simple pirate like himself, and Venom states that he's taking Kio's cargo. Kio amends his statement, noting that Venom is not just a simple Klyntar but an Agent of the Cosmos, and Venom asks him if he knows what an Agent of the Cosmos is. Standing up, Kio pulls out a sonic pistol and says that the Agents of the Cosmos are nothing and weak. The sonic wave peels the Venom symbiote away from Flash's face, causing it to screech in pain, and Kio mockingly observes that Flash is an Earthling and that that makes him even weaker. Separated from the symbiote, Flash tries to figure out a way out of his situation as Kio states he's going to sell the symbiote and feed Flash to the were-fish. Kio boasts that he calls his sonic weapon "The Scream", and Flash makes a reference to the Alien film's tagline before slamming his fist onto a red button and hoping the symbiote will know what to do. The ship's cargo bay doors open, jettisoning the ship's occupants and contents into space. Rebonding to the symbiote, Flash latches onto the ship with webbing, then spots the alien family and Kio being attacked by were-fish. Venom saves the family and leaves Kio to be devoured, making his way back to the ship and retrieving 803. Returning the aliens to their homeworld and family, Flash learns that no-one has attempted to harvest their blood in millions of cycles and that a darkness is spreading across the galaxy, but that the mother is relieved that the Agents of the Cosmos are still watching over them. When Flash asks what the Agents of the Cosmos are, the mother responds that they are heroes, which Flash notes is an answer he can work with. Flash returns to his ship to find 803, who says that Flash should have left it in space. Flash tells 803 that it is free, which the robot says does not compute. Flash tells 803 that it can come along with him if it wants, but that he's in charge and it'll have to help out, meaning no destruction for the time being. 803 states that it is fluent in three million languages and 217 forms of torture, but before it can go into more detail Flash tells it to be quiet, noting that things worked out fine for a series of broken plays, and that maybe being an Agent of the Cosmos won't be so bad after all. Solicit Synopsis IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM…WITH EXCITEMENT! Flash Thompson is a lot of things. Soldier. Veteran. Doubleamputee. Host to a powerful alien symbiote. Now, apart from the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, Flash has also been tasked with being an intergalactic ambassador of Earth and an Agent of the Cosmos. What does that mean?

Venom learns Gholar sold YT-19 to a smuggler whose name is on the data drive he “borrowed,” but Gholar’s ship is blown up before he can use it. Leaping into another building, Venom borrows a computer from an owl-like alien woman and discovers the buyer is a space pirate named Kio, whose ship is about to depart. He latches onto Kio’s ship as it takes off, uses his symbiote’s tendrils to open the airlock, and outlines his plan: find YT-19, punch a lot of people, then steal the ship to replace his own.

Flash feels his anger bubbling but calms himself to avoid corrupting the symbiote. He assures the aliens he’s an Agent of the Cosmos come to help them escape. On the ship’s bridge, Kio orders his pilot to steer into the Broken Sea, where were-fish will tear the ship apart, using the corpse of the intruder as bait. Venom attacks, and Kio pulls a sonic pistol he calls “The Scream,” peeling the symbiote from Flash’s face. Separated and weakened, Flash slams a red button, hoping the symbiote will intervene.

-3,681,216,265,172,345,000	Aletho News ΑΛΗΘΩΣ 9/11 Whistleblowers: Kevin Ryan • 09/06/2019 TRANSCRIPT “But someone would have talked” say the self-styled skeptics that believe the government’s official conspiracy theory of 9/11.” After all, every major conspiracy has its whistleblowers, doesn’t it?” But there’s a problem with this logically fallacious non-argument. “Someone” did talk. In fact, numerous people have come out to blow the whistle on the events of September 11, 2001, and the cover up that surrounds those events. These are the stories of the 9/11 Whistleblowers. You’re tuned in to The Corbett Report. In 2001, Kevin Ryan was the site manager at Environmental Health Laboratories (EHL) in South Bend, Indiana. At the time, EHL was a subsidiary of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety consulting and certification corporation that tests a range of consumer and industrial products for compliance with government safety standards. Among many other things, UL provides fire resistance ratings for structural steel components to insure compliance with New York City building codes. Just weeks after the events of September 11, 2001, UL’s then-CEO, Loring Knoblauch, visited Ryan’s EHL lab in South Bend. During his speech there, Knoblauch assured the lab’s workers that UL “had certified the steel in the World Trade Center buildings” and “that we should all be proud that the buildings had stood for so long under such intense conditions.” Knowing UL’s role in producing a fire resistance directory and providing ratings for steel components, Ryan thought little of the statement at the time. But Ryan’s curiosity about UL’s role in the certification of the World Trade Center steel was piqued when, in 2003, he began to question the lies that the Bush administration had used to justify the invasion of Iraq, and, eventually, to question the official story of September 11th itself. Recalling Knoblauch’s comments about UL’s role in certifying the Trade Center steel shortly after 9/11, Ryan began to take a professional interest in the official investigation into the Twin Towers’ destruction, an investigation in which UL itself was to play a part. As Ryan began to learn more about the issues involved with the destruction of the towers and the ongoing investigation into that destruction, his concerns only grew. Why had the actual steel evidence of the towers’s destruction been illegally removed and disposed of before a proper investigation could take place? Why did not one or two, but three modern, steel-frame buildings completely collapse due to fire on 9/11 given that such an event had never taken place before? Why did the towers fail at all when John Skilling, the structural engineer responsible for designing the towers, claimed in 1993—just five years before his death—that his own analysis of jet plane crashes and ensuing fires in the towers had concluded that “the building structure would still be there”? And why had Knoblauch himself bragged about UL’s role in testing the trade center steel—a test that would have rated the floor components for two hours of fire resistance and the building columns for three hours—when the North Tower “failed” in 102 minutes and the South Tower came down in just 56 minutes? These concerns prompted Ryan, in October 2003, to write directly to Loring Knoblauch, outlining his thoughts and “asking what [Knoblauch] was doing to protect our reputation.” But if Ryan was expecting Knoblauch to put his mind at ease about these issues, he was sorely disappointed. Instead, Knoblauch—who included Tom Chapin, then the head of UL’s fire resistance division, in the email chain—wrote a response that only raised more questions than it answered. KEVIN RYAN: Knoblauch copied Tom Chapin on his response to me, because it was Tom’s job as the leader of the fire resistance division to really address these kinds of things. And interestingly, Tom Chapin had written a letter to the editors at The New York Times in 2002 where he basically admitted, again, that UL’s testing had been behind the fire resistance of the World Trade Center towers. And so I’ve written about that a little bit, but he was very clear that the World Trade Center stood for as long as it did because of UL’s testing. And the problem of course with that is that that the south tower lasted for only 56 minutes after it was hit, and the testing that was required by New York City code was three hours of fire resistance for the columns and two hours for the floor assemblies. So 56 minutes and those ratings do not add up. That’s just not something that should go unquestioned. So Loring Knoblauch wrote back to me after my questions in—it must have been October 2003 when I wrote to him. He wrote back to me a month later and he said all these things about how the company had tested the steel components used to build the World Trade Center towers. What he meant is he we had tested samples of those and provided ratings for fire resistance to the New York City Code—again, three hours for columns and two hours for floor assemblies. And that information established the confidence that the buildings would stand in those fire durations. And the test that was used was ASTM E119, which is the standard test used for this purpose. And UL is the leader in doing that testing, so it wasn’t a surprise. And not only that but NIST—the government agency NIST [the National Institute of Standards and Technology]—had made clear in some of their progress reports that UL had consulted with the construction companies for the World Trade Center towers, and throughout the building of the buildings that UL had provided that information. So it’s really not a surprise at all. And Tom Chapin replied further to me that the NIST agency was doing an investigation and asked me, basically, to have patience. And I did for maybe the next year. In 2002, NIST began its three-year, $16 million study of the Twin Towers’ “failure.” Tom Chapin had assured Ryan that UL was cooperating with this investigation, and that his concerns would be allayed once the final report was released. But by 2004, it was already clear that there were serious problems with that report and its preliminary findings, including findings from tests conducted by UL on mock-ups of the WTC floor assemblies that contradicted NIST’s own conclusions about the buildings’ destruction. RYAN: Well, it’s very important to understand that with the official accounts for the World Trade Center, there were a number of explanations given in the early years. And for the towers the one that was settled upon and that lasted for three years was the pancake theory. And the pancake theory was this concept where the floor assemblies had heated up and sagged and this steel had softened or weakened and then they started to collapse upon each other in a pancake fashion. And then the the columns basically just folded inward. So that was the official account, really. It was given by the FEMA investigators Corley and Thornton and others—who coincidentally had also given us the official account for the Oklahoma City bombing. But in this video from the television program Nova it was captured for everyone’s benefit in little videos . . . animations. And so the pancake theory was the official account. And UL tested the floor assemblies basically for the possibility of this in August 2004. So this was, again, nine months or ten months after I had asked my original questions. And they did so by using different assemblies with varying amounts of fireproofing. One of the assemblies had basically no fire proofing on it at all and they ran it through this furnace in this ASTM E119 test and concluded in the end that there would be no collapse. That the floors would not collapse even at temperatures and times greater than what we’re seeing at the World Trade Center. And they made that clear. NIST made this clear, that the pancake theory was not supported. So that left us all at that time with no explanation, in 2004, three years later. Having invaded Iraq, having done so much to invest in the official account that the World Trade Center had been destroyed by these planes. And that was a difficult situation for NIST and for everyone. Realizing that UL was not pressing NIST on the discrepancies in its findings, Kevin Ryan took matters into his own hands and, on November 11, 2004, wrote directly to Frank Gayle, the director of NIST’s Twin Towers investigation. That email began: “As I’m sure you know, the company I work for certified the steel components used in the construction of the WTC buildings. In requesting information from both our CEO and Fire Protection business manager last year, I learned that they did not agree on the essential aspects of the story, except for one thing—that the samples we certified met all requirements. They suggested we all be patient and understand that UL was working with your team, and that tests would continue through this year. I’m aware of UL’s attempts to help, including performing tests on models of the floor assemblies. But the results of these tests appear to indicate that the buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel.” After pointing out the problems raised by NIST’s own investigation—including the tests that disproved claims that the steel in the floor area simply “melted”—Ryan got to the heart of the matter: “This story just does not add up. If steel from those buildings did soften or melt, I’m sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans. Alternatively, the contention that this steel did fail at temperatures around 250C suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11 were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my company. “There is no question that the events of 9/11 are the emotional driving force behind the War on Terror. And the issue of the WTC collapse is at the crux of the story of 9/11. My feeling is that your metallurgical tests are at the crux of the crux of the crux. Either you can make sense of what really happened to those buildings, and communicate this quickly, or we all face the same destruction and despair that come from global decisions based on disinformation and ‘chatter.’” Predictably, if unfortunately, Gayle never responded to the email. However, Ryan made the important decision to share the email, and his concerns, with the broader public: RYAN: Frank did not respond, no. Actually, that letter was sent to him and then also copied to a couple of people who were trying to find more information. Trying to find the truth about what happened on 9/11. Those two included David Griffin, who had just recently written a book, and Catherine Austin Fitz, the director of 911Truth.org. Dr. Griffin asked me almost immediately if he could share it publicly. And, of course, with some hesitation, but knowing the importance in believing what I wrote, I told him it was OK. And overnight there must have been tens of thousands of people reading this letter on the web and people calling our offices in South Bend at UL constantly, and calling me at home constantly. I think a lot of people were feeling the same—they were thinking the same thing: That clearly there was something wrong here and the story was not explaining what we needed to know. So Dr. Gayle did not respond. He’s never responded. Maybe one day I will talk to him personally and find out what he thinks. But, you know, these things are clear in terms of job—this is not really just a career decision, although it is. It’s a career decision. It’s more than that, it’s a decision about, you know, what kind of world we want to live in, and at a time where that kind of decision is really important. Because, you know, the book Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a fiction and it’s evolving into reality. Ryan did not engage in these actions naively. He knew that allowing his concerns to go public would focus public attention on himself and on UL, and that such actions would have ramifications for his employment. But if he was bracing himself for those ramifications, he didn’t have long to wait. His email to Frank Gayle was sent on Thursday, November 11, 2004. It was published on the web the following day. Immediately, Ryan’s phone was ringing off the hook and UL was being contacted for comment. That weekend, the company reached out to him to let him know the consequences of his actions. RYAN: The Human Resources folks called me that weekend and asked if I would contact the people on the web who had published it and asked that it be taken down. And I refused to do that and told them that I didn’t think that was the right thing to do. And I think it was at that very point then they started making the plans to terminate me. So I had actually taken the next Monday off of work and that was convenient. It allowed me to get my thoughts together. And then on Tuesday when I came in—which I believe was the 16th—the leaders from the Northbrook, Chicago office were there, and they had told me they would be: “Please make sure you’re there.” They brought a letter on UL letterhead and made it clear that, you know, they felt that I had practiced poor judgment in writing this letter and sending it to their client NIST. It had harmed their relationship with NIST, and thereby I was terminated. So, yeah, that was a tough spot for my family and I. But my wife has been supportive. She knows the idealistic nature of her husband, I think, and she knew why it was important. And we’ve done fine, we’ve gotten by and gotten other jobs. And that’s—I believe people should recognize that it’s not the end of the world to lose your job. Sometimes it’s a new beginning that was useful. Not for courting controversy, but merely for pointing out the glaring truth, Ryan was fired from his job. Like so many other whistleblowers in so many other stories, Ryan paid a price for doing what his conscience demanded. Also like many other brave men and women who have been thrust into the position of blowing the whistle, Ryan has found a way to thrive despite the setbacks. Rather than keeping quiet and moving on with his life, Ryan has doubled down on his efforts, founding several action groups, editing the Journal of 9/11 Studies, writing articles and books on the subject of 9/11, volunteering on the board of directors of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, delivering lectures on the destruction of the World Trade Center, and continuing to raise public awareness of the problems with the official story of the founding event of the “War on Terror.” In the end, despite the high price he paid career-wise, Ryan feels that his decision to blow the whistle and call out the self-contradictions of the NIST investigation was worth it. After all, it is only when those who know the truth are unafraid to step up and speak it, regardless of the personal consequences, that we will ever hope to achieve true justice. RYAN: What I’ve been able to benefit from is understanding a lot more about society, history, politics, being better at communicating myself. And I’ve met a lot of great people. We’ve worked together to raise awareness and try to bring justice for 9/11. You know, I’ve met and presented with 9/11 victims’ family members. I’ve met 9/11 Commission leaders and and other people who were very central to this story. So many great researchers. So many great people. So overall it was definitely worth it for me. It’s a personal decision, of course, and it has to be motivated by trying to do some good. If it’s not motivated by trying to do some good then you’re doing the wrong thing.

When “trying to do some good” also involves willful silence about WHO did 9-11, IMO, Kevin Ryan is doing the wrong thing. Comment by John Edward Kendrick \| September 7, 2019 \| Reply 2. The “GRENFELL TOWER” in London UK, a 25 story residential tower, was engulfed in flames for 60 hours, and it is still standing today. The “9/11” story is so full of holes it is totally ridiculous, and no argument pointing out the “bleeding obvious” has been allowed. The Owner of Tower 7 has even publicly admitted that HE “Pulled the building”!!…….WTF?

In fact, numerous people have come out to blow the whistle on the events of September 11, 2001, and the cover up that surrounds those events. These are the stories of the 9/11 Whistleblowers. You’re tuned in to The Corbett Report. In 2001, Kevin Ryan was the site manager at Environmental Health Laboratories (EHL) in South Bend, Indiana. At the time, EHL was a subsidiary of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety consulting and certification corporation that tests a range of consumer and industrial products for compliance with government safety standards. Among many other things, UL provides fire resistance ratings for structural steel components to insure compliance with New York City building codes. Just weeks after the events of September 11, 2001, UL’s then-CEO, Loring Knoblauch, visited Ryan’s EHL lab in South Bend. During his speech there, Knoblauch assured the lab’s workers that UL “had certified the steel in the World Trade Center buildings” and “that we should all be proud that the buildings had stood for so long under such intense conditions.” Knowing UL’s role in producing a fire resistance directory and providing ratings for steel components, Ryan thought little of the statement at the time. But Ryan’s curiosity about UL’s role in the certification of the World Trade Center steel was piqued when, in 2003, he began to question the lies that the Bush administration had used to justify the invasion of Iraq, and, eventually, to question the official story of September 11th itself. Recalling Knoblauch’s comments about UL’s role in certifying the Trade Center steel shortly after 9/11, Ryan began to take a professional interest in the official investigation into the Twin Towers’ destruction, an investigation in which UL itself was to play a part. As Ryan began to learn more about the issues involved with the destruction of the towers and the ongoing investigation into that destruction, his concerns only grew. Why had the actual steel evidence of the towers’ destruction been illegally removed and disposed of before a proper investigation could take place? Why did not one or two, but three modern, steel-frame buildings completely collapse due to fire on 9/11 given that such an event had never taken place before? Why did the towers fail at all when John Skilling, the structural engineer responsible for designing the towers, claimed in 1993—just five years before his death—that his own analysis of jet plane crashes and ensuing fires in the towers had concluded that “the building structure would still be there”? And why had Knoblauch himself bragged about UL’s role in testing the trade center steel—a test that would have rated the floor components for two hours of fire resistance and the building columns for three hours—when the North Tower “failed” in 102 minutes and the South Tower came down in just 56 minutes? These concerns prompted Ryan, in October 2003, to write directly to Loring Knoblauch, outlining his thoughts and “asking what [Knoblauch] was doing to protect our reputation.” But if Ryan was expecting Knoblauch to put his mind at ease about these issues, he was sorely disappointed. Instead, Knoblauch—who included Tom Chapin, then the head of UL’s fire resistance division, in the email chain—wrote a response that only raised more questions than it answered. KEVIN RYAN: Knoblauch copied Tom Chapin on his response to me, because it was Tom’s job as the leader of the fire resistance division to really address these kinds of things. And interestingly, Tom Chapin had written a letter to the editors at The New York Times in 2002 where he basically admitted, again, that UL’s testing had been behind the fire resistance of the World Trade Center towers. And so I’ve written about that a little bit, but he was very clear that the World Trade Center stood for as long as it did because of UL’s testing. And the problem of course with that is that the south tower lasted for only 56 minutes after it was hit, and the testing that was required by New York City code was three hours of fire resistance for the columns and two hours for the floor assemblies. So 56 minutes and those ratings do not add up. That’s just not something that should go unquestioned. KEVIN RYAN: So Loring Knoblauch wrote back to me after my questions in—it must have been October 2003 when I wrote to him. He wrote back to me a month later and he said all these things about how the company had tested the steel components used to build the World Trade Center towers. What he meant is he we had tested samples of those and provided ratings for fire resistance to the New York City Code—again, three hours for columns and two hours for floor assemblies. And that information established the confidence that the buildings would stand in those fire durations. And the test that was used was ASTM E119, which is the standard test used for this purpose. And UL is the leader in doing that testing, so it wasn’t a surprise. And not only that but NIST—the government agency NIST [the National Institute of Standards and Technology]—had made clear in some of their progress reports that UL had consulted with the construction companies for the World Trade Center towers, and throughout the building of the buildings that UL had provided that information. So it’s really not a surprise at all. And Tom Chapin replied further to me that the NIST agency was doing an investigation and asked me, basically, to have patience. And I did for maybe the next year. In 2002, NIST began its three-year, $16 million study of the Twin Towers’ “failure.” Tom Chapin had assured Ryan that UL was cooperating with this investigation, and that his concerns would be allayed once the final report was released. But by 2004, it was already clear that there were serious problems with that report and its preliminary findings, including findings from tests conducted by UL on mock-ups of the WTC floor assemblies that contradicted NIST’s own conclusions about the buildings’ destruction. RYAN: Well, it’s very important to understand that with the official accounts for the World Trade Center, there were a number of explanations given in the early years. And for the towers the one that was settled upon and that lasted for three years was the pancake theory. And the pancake theory was this concept where the floor assemblies had heated up and sagged and this steel had softened or weakened and then they started to collapse upon each other in a pancake fashion. And then the columns basically just folded inward. So that was the official account, really. It was given by the FEMA investigators Corley and Thornton and others—who coincidentally had also given us the official account for the Oklahoma City bombing. But in this video from the television program Nova it was captured for everyone’s benefit in little videos . . . animations. And so the pancake theory was the official account. And UL tested the floor assemblies basically for the possibility of this in August 2004. So this was, again, nine months or ten months after I had asked my original questions. And they did so by using different assemblies with varying amounts of fireproofing. One of the assemblies had basically no fire proofing on it at all and they ran it through this furnace in this ASTM E119 test and concluded in the end that there would be no collapse. That the floors would not collapse even at temperatures and times greater than what we’re seeing at the World Trade Center. And they made that clear. NIST made this clear, that the pancake theory was not supported. So that left us all at that time with no explanation, in 2004, three years later. Having invaded Iraq, having done so much to invest in the official account that the World Trade Center had been destroyed by these planes. And that was a difficult situation for NIST and for everyone. Realizing that UL was not pressing NIST on the discrepancies in its findings, Kevin Ryan took matters into his own hands and, on November 11, 2004, wrote directly to Frank Gayle, the director of NIST’s Twin Towers investigation. That email began: > “As I’m sure you know, the company I work for certified the steel components used in the construction of the WTC buildings. In requesting information from both our CEO and Fire Protection business manager last year, I learned that they did not agree on the essential aspects of the story, except for one thing—that the samples we certified met all requirements. They suggested we all be patient and understand that UL was working with your team, and that tests would continue through this year. I’m aware of UL’s attempts to help, including performing tests on models of the floor assemblies. But the results of these tests appear to indicate that the buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel.” After pointing out the problems raised by NIST’s own investigation—including the tests that disproved claims that the steel in the floor area simply “melted”—Ryan got to the heart of the matter: > “This story just does not add up. If steel from those buildings did soften or melt, I’m sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers. That fact should be of great concern to all Americans. Alternatively, the contention that this steel did fail at temperatures around 250 °C suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11 were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my company. > > “There is no question that the events of 9/11 are the emotional driving force behind the War on Terror. And the issue of the WTC collapse is at the crux of the story of 9/11. My feeling is that your metallurgical tests are at the crux of the crux of the crux. Either you can make sense of what really happened to those buildings, and communicate this quickly, or we all face the same destruction and despair that come from global decisions based on disinformation and ‘chatter.’” Predictably, if unfortunately, Gayle never responded to the email. However, Ryan made the important decision to share the email, and his concerns, with the broader public: RYAN: Frank did not respond, no. Actually, that letter was sent to him and then also copied to a couple of people who were trying to find more information. Trying to find the truth about what happened on 9/11. Those two included David Griffin, who had just recently written a book, and Catherine Austin Fitz, the director of 911Truth.org. Dr. Griffin asked me almost immediately if he could share it publicly. And, of course, with some hesitation, but knowing the importance in believing what I wrote, I told him it was OK. And overnight there must have been tens of thousands of people reading this letter on the web and people calling our offices in South Bend at UL constantly, and calling me at home constantly. I think a lot of people were feeling the same—they were thinking the same thing: That clearly there was something wrong here and the story was not explaining what we needed to know. So Dr. Gayle did not respond. He’s never responded. Maybe one day I will talk to him personally and find out what he thinks. But, you know, these things are clear in terms of job—this is not really just a career decision, although it is. It’s a career decision. It’s more than that, it’s a decision about, you know, what kind of world we want to live in, and at a time where that kind of decision is really important. Because, you know, the book Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a fiction and it’s evolving into reality. Ryan did not engage in these actions naively. He knew that allowing his concerns to go public would focus public attention on himself and on UL, and that such actions would have ramifications for his employment. But if he was bracing himself for those ramifications, he didn’t have long to wait. His email to Frank Gayle was sent on Thursday, November 11, 2004. It was published on the web the following day. Immediately, Ryan’s phone was ringing off the hook and UL was being contacted for comment. That weekend, the company reached out to him to let him know the consequences of his actions. RYAN: The Human Resources folks called me that weekend and asked if I would contact the people on the web who had published it and asked that it be taken down. And I refused to do that and told them that I didn’t think that was the right thing to do. And I think it was at that very point then they started making the plans to terminate me.

It had harmed their relationship with NIST, and thereby I was terminated. So, yeah, that was a tough spot for my family and I. But my wife has been supportive. She knows the idealistic nature of her husband, I think, and she knew why it was important. And we’ve done fine, we’ve gotten by and gotten other jobs. And that’s—I believe people should recognize that it’s not the end of the world to lose your job. Sometimes it’s a new beginning that was useful. Not for courting controversy, but merely for pointing out the glaring truth, Ryan was fired from his job.

2,865,614,557,258,685,400	Slowing Down 160710-204649-16JEH-EditI am slowing down in posting pictures while I decide what I really want to do. Most of my pictures in the last few years were made while I tried different cameras, lenses, and techniques. Now that those trials with new gear are winding down, and I am mostly photographing events, activities, and people here at Homewood, I need to decide what, where, and how to make photographs for this blog, or even if I wish to continue it. There are only so many pretty images of flowers, scenes around Homewood, etc., and I get tired of making the same pictures as I walk the same routes, day after day. I need to make images that mean something to me. My images of people here at Homewood mean a lot to me, but I can’t post many of them due to privacy concerns. Another feature of this blog, in the past, was that it was to a degree an encapsulation of what I saw on a daily basis; i.e. it was a visual diary. I am not sure that I want to continue doing that since I don’t think it means much to most of my viewers, but it is a way to rationalize my photography. My plans are to continue taking pictures for both my Homewood projects and for my personal interests. I am hoping that I will be able to find those kinds of images that I enjoy to make and then that I will be able to formulate a rationale as to how I can continue this blog. One idea that I have been exploring are the abstract details of things I see in vivid colors. One of my primary issues with those types of images is that I prefer to use my micro 4/3 cameras with wider lenses, and that doesn’t work well for details since I can’t often get up close. Longer focal length zoom lenses work best for detail photography, but are not necessary if I can get close. I also like camera gear and using different cameras and lenses to see what I can make with them. I like well-engineered equipment. That probably evolved from my engineering education. The issue I’m facing now is what to do if I stop buying new & different gear. One possibility that I have revisited off and on over the years is trying to use just one camera and one lens and living with the challenge to see what I can make with them. That really limits what I can make, but fits in with the concept of being a lifestyle photographer. The problem was, I never managed to continue that practice long since I kept running out of things to photograph. I enjoy my Homewood photography and I would like to expand it into other areas, especially if I could do it with one or two micro 4/3 prime lenses and manage to avoid privacy issues. I’m thinking that my focus could be on lifestyle photography … what can be seen with a near normal lens without using special wide, or macro, or long focal length lenses. My biggest issues with that style are privacy concerns of people and my lack of traveling to see new and different places. Another aspect of my decision relative to my blog revolves around whether or not to continue with the focus of my blog being photography. In the meanwhile, my “vision” is blurred as to how to proceed so I will slow down as I think more about it.		701	0	2,865,614,557,258,685,400	base	[ "base" ]	false	null

-6,762,062,204,969,756,000	CLOSE LINKEDINCOMMENTMORE MUNCIE, Ind. Lift-A-Loft Corp. has agreed to pay $18,720 to fund environmental testing at the former CR3 rubber recycling site, the scene of a tire fire that burned out of control for several days in August of 2003. Based in Cowan in southern Delaware County, Lift-A-Loft, which makes aerial lifts, entered an agreement with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management calling for a fine of $23,400 to settle alleged hazardous waste violations at its factory in 2017. The agreement requires Lift-A-Loft to pay the state $4,680 of the fine. In lieu of paying the remainder, the company will make a cash payment of $18,720 to the Indiana Finance Authority to fund a "supplemental environmental project" in the Muncie area. The project chosen by state and local officials is sampling for contamination at the CR3 brownfield site in the southside Industria Centre, where Josh Perkins, a landscape architecture graduate of Ball State University, wants to relocate his business, Plant Studio Landscape. "I drive by it every day," Perkins told The Star Press. "It just sits there — a concrete slab and plenty of land. If we can do something with the site, it would be great for us as a company to … take an abandoned property, put it back on the tax rolls and make it nice. It's a bit of an eyesore." A pool, patio and landscape contractor, Plant Studio Landscape currently operates out of leased premises nearby. "We need some outdoor space to store pavers, mulch and so forth," said Perkins, formerly a landscape designer for the high-end residential market in the Chicago area. The $18,720 paid by Lift-A-Loft will be combined with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant funds to pay for soil and water testing at the CR3 site on behalf of the owner, ECI Regional Planning District. "A prospective purchaser, Plant Studio Landscape, has been identified for the site," IDEM spokesman Barry Sneed said. The soil and water sampling is part of an effort to eliminate concerns about potential liability for cleanup of any contamination on the property. Lift-A-Loft makes aerial lifts, aka scissor lifts or aerial work platforms, to elevate workers like traffic signal technicians. The company, whose processes include painting, signed an agreed order with IDEM to resolve allegations including: • Solvent-contaminated wipes or rags were air dried and disposed of as a solid waste. Drying solvent-contaminated wipes allows hazardous waste constituents to be emitted into the air and is considered treatment of hazardous waste. The company lacked a permit to treat hazardous waste. The company generated about two barrels a week of the contaminated wipes, according to an inspection report. • Storing contaminated wipes in an open container. • Failing to post the location of fire extinguishers and spill control material, and the fire department's telephone number, next to the telephone. • Blue powder coat paint was observed on vents, exterior walls, surrounding equipment and the ground. It was allowed to drain to a storm sewer that empties into No Name Creek. Wash water from the paint room also drained to the creek. • Inadequate training of employees. Containers not labeled as hazardous waste. A container not labeled as used oil. Lift-A-Loft did not return a call seeking comment for this story. But Vice President and CFO Jacquelyn Duggan told IDEM in a written response that the air drying of solvent-contaminated rags has stopped; employee training was completed; plant upgrades were made; procedures and practices were changed; a longtime employee was fired and other steps were taken to comply with regulations. "It's it kind of a cool story," Brad Bookout, director of economic development/redevelopment for Delaware County, said of the potential reuse of the CR3 property. "It is a site that has been in tax sales since the fire. It was bought by out-of-town people who I think didn't really know what they were purchasing, and I think once they found out what they bought they stopped paying taxes, too." So the county stepped in. "We got an end user," Bookout said. "We're excited about that, and the county commissioners can take credit. We're lucky to get it repurposed. The commissioners' goal was not so much economic development as getting it back on the tax rolls, mowing it and maintaining it." Plant Studio Landscape plans to invest about $300,000 in skid loaders, lawn mowers, trucks, other equipment and new construction, Bookout went on. Before it became a rubber-recycling facility, the 10-acre property was used for manufacturing between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s, according to SME, a Midwestern consulting and engineering firm that conducted a "phase one" site assessment (including a records review of the site's history) for the county. A fire destroyed a building and engulfed numerous tire piles on site in 2003. Borrow pits of soil were dug to help extinguish the fire. Buried tires reportedly burned for up to two years, according to the assessment. Prior sampling found ground water contaminated with volatile organic compounds. The site today is covered by vegetation, gravel, burned rubber, building pads, a scale and a concrete wall.

Before it became a rubber-recycling facility, the 10-acre property was used for manufacturing between the mid-1970s and the mid-1990s, according to SME, a Midwestern consulting and engineering firm that conducted a “phase one” site assessment (including a records review of the site’s history) for the county. A fire destroyed a building and engulfed numerous tire piles on site in 2003. Borrow pits of soil were dug to help extinguish the fire. Buried tires reportedly burned for up to two years, according to the assessment. Prior sampling found ground water contaminated with volatile organic compounds. The site today is covered by vegetation, gravel, burned rubber, building pads, a scale and a concrete wall.	1,178	1,133	-6,762,062,204,969,756,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null

9,134,249,102,289,052,000	Quickly • The journey of USF's dynamic quarterback from one of the roughest areas of Miami to the center of a remarkable program turnaround in Tampa was not without its setbacks, but Quinton Flowers is not so easily brought down. By Jeremy Fuchs November 21, 2017 Quinton Flowers was sitting at his coach’s dinner table, listening quietly as a conversation unfolded around him that would change his career. It was September 2015. The South Florida quarterbacks and running backs were meeting at head coach Willie Taggart’s two-story Spanish-style villa three and a half miles from campus, trying to figure out how to keep the Bulls’ 1–3 start from spiraling into a fourth-straight losing season. Flowers, a sophomore, had struggled to assert himself under center, but running back Darius Tice knew that the quarterback was capable of much more. The two players had squared off for rival teams in the Miami area, where Flowers, then considered one of the better athletes in the state—he had offers from Alabama, Florida and Texas—put up video-game numbers, throwing for 6,042 yards and rushing for 2,002 at Miami Jackson Senior High. But since they had become teammates, that version of Flowers was nowhere to be seen. He was tentative, robotic, focusing on fundamentals rather than instinct. “We need to let Quinton be himself,” Tice told Taggart. “Come out of the tunnel, be wild and free.” Taggart turned to Flowers and said, “So go out and do what you do.” Be wild and free. The next Saturday he passed for 259 yards in a 54–24 win over Syracuse. Since then, USF has gone 27–5, while Flowers has rushed for 3,182 yards, eighth-most among all active players, and has thrown for 6,680. His 37 rushing touchdowns are second most among all players. As a junior last year, Flowers piled up 4,339 total yards with 42 touchdowns and became the first Florida collegian—including Tim Tebow—to pass for 2,000 yards and run for 1,000 in a season. The Bulls are 9–1 this fall with Flowers leading the way, and their matchup on Friday against No. 15 UCF will send one team to the American Athletic Conference title game, likely with a coveted trip to a New Year’s Day bowl on the line. Amid Miami’s renaissance and UCF’s offensive fireworks elsewhere in the state of Florida, college football fans have largely overlooked the show Flowers & Co. have put on in Tampa, with help from former Texas coach Charlie Strong, who took over after Taggart left for Oregon in December. Be wild and free. For too long, one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country had been playing—and living—in a shell, and in fear, after taking one devastating hit after another. Steve Nesius/AP Liberty City is 10 miles northeast of South Beach; both are Miami neighborhoods, but they are worlds apart. To get to Liberty City from the glittery beaches, the Art Deco buildings and the $85 seafood dinners of South Beach, take the MacArthur Causeway over Biscayne Bay, through Wynwood and the abandoned RC Cola plant and Allapattah and Little Haiti. You might recognize the neighborhood from its starring role in the Oscar-winning movie Moonlight. In a 28-day span in September, there were 39 assaults in a half-mile radius surrounding it. But there are pockets of hope. Liberty City is home to a disproportionate amount of NFL players—Antonio Brown, Amari Cooper, Elvis Dumervil, among others—and strong family units, like the one Flowers had growing up. Every Sunday was a party at the yellow house on 75th and 17th. Nancy and Nathaniel Flowers had the Dolphins game on the TV, food on the grill, friends and family over. On one of those Sundays in 2002, a seven-year-old Flowers was on the front porch, sitting on his dad’s lap, watching the Dolphins. Nathaniel, who worked for the city of Miami as a garbage collector, gave his son money to get a snack. Before Quinton could even get to the store, there was a bang. Nathaniel had been struck with a stray bullet, the unintended victim of a drive-by shooting. “What if I was sitting on my dad’s lap playing with him?” Flowers says. “That could’ve been me.” After his father’s death, Quinton found salvation on the football field. While his mom would stay late at Liberty City Elementary, where she worked as both a cafeteria worker and a custodian, Flowers would play with the Liberty City Optimist Club at Charles Hadley Park on NW 50th Street, the same team that nurtured NFL players Lavonte David, Devonta Freeman and Duke Johnson. “The only time you have to have fun is on the field,” says Tice, who grew up in nearby Miami Gardens. “There’s shootings, bullets hitting innocent kids. When we play football, that’s the best time you can just let everything go.” Flowers and his mother were close. He would talk to her about everything, from football to girls; she could be overprotective of her youngest kid. “One time I was with my friends, four blocks from home, and she called me,” says Flowers. “She was like ‘Boobie, Boobie, I need you, hurry up.’ I’m running, all the way home, because that’s my mom. I just want to get there, make sure she’s O.K.” Then Flowers chuckles. “Soon as I get in her room, she tells me to pass her the TV remote.” After Quinton’s sophomore year of high school, he was told she was battling cancer. As she started treatment, he began to excel on the field. Quinton was in Orlando for a football tournament in January 2012 when he logged onto Facebook and saw messages saying that his mother had died. He rushed back to the hospital and found she was still alive. “She couldn’t see, and she couldn't hear. But she told me to get my diploma and continue being myself. That she loves me and will be watching over me.” Nancy died the next day. Quinton’s older sister Shanay helped with day-to-day responsibilities, as did his Aunt Julie and Uncle Nick. His cousin, former NFL wide receiver Andre Johnson, sent money. But Quinton was still in a downward spiral. “It was a time where I felt like football wasn’t the same, because I lost the main woman in my life,” he says. He had thought of quitting, but his high school coach, former NFL receiver Antonio Brown, rushed over in the middle of the night to convince him otherwise. The major schools who had recruited Flowers wanted him at different positions. Alabama thought he should be a receiver. South Carolina wanted him as a defensive back. Miami had another position in mind. “The first thing [former coach] Al Golden said: ‘Your legs are big. I think you’re a running back,” Flowers recalls. But Flowers was adamant: He was a quarterback, and always had been. (As a kid, he left a team after a youth coach put him at offensive line, telling the coach, “I’m a QB.”) USF agreed, and nine games into his freshman season Flowers took the starting job. He called his brother Nathaniel Jr. to tell him the news, but when Nathaniel picked up, he was distraught. Earlier that night, their brother, Bradley Holt, had been shot in Allapattah. A yellow Ford Mustang was approaching an apartment complex where a group of children were playing. Holt, 24, confronted the driver, telling him to stay away from the kids. A few minutes later he was shot in the head. “I lost it all,” Flowers says. “As I was walking to my room, I started crying. He always told me I was going to be the one to go to college, try to make something out of myself. I was so hurt. That’s the third person in my life.” Flowers is usually incredibly stoic, betraying little emotion. His teammates say it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking. His sister Shanay says, “You have to talk to him constantly to get anything out of him.” But Flowers isn’t immune to the pain. When he hears teammates talking about their parents, it will get to him. He’ll call Shanay in the middle of the night. “You can hear it in his voice, he’ll be hurting,” she says. “I’ll ask him, ‘What’s wrong?’ He’s like, [nothing]. And then I’ll say, ‘Tell me what it is, I can help you.’ And then he’ll break down.” When he gets emotional, Shanay repeats a message their mom often repeated: Live to die. You’re not going to be here forever—enjoy life. “Every day, I just try to make the best decision because she’s seeing every move I make,” he says. Flowers also gets inspiration—and comfort—from his one-year-old daughter, Amayah. “When he sees her, it’s like a sense of relief,” says Shanay. “My mom, his daddy, his brother—now he has someone to rely on him, depending on him, not only in football, but in life, to support her, to be behind her.” One night in September, Quinton called Nathaniel as he does every night before a game only to find his brother upset again: “Auntie Julie had a heart attack.” She had gone to the hospital for back pain, then had a bad reaction to her medicine. Auntie Julie wasn’t just a typical aunt, Shanay says. When their mom died, Auntie Julie became their go-to person. And now, just like that, Auntie Julie was gone, too. “She’s in a better place,” Shanay said to him. “Be a better man, not only for yourself, but for your daughter.” The next day Flowers threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns and led the Bulls to a 31–17 win over Stony Brook. AP/Shutterstock USF’s football program has come a long way since 1997, when the first team meeting was held under a shade tree for lack of a better venue. (The program now has a $4 million practice complex with three fields, along with a 2,500-square-foot storage building; In August, the school released a feasibility study on the prospects of building a new $200 million stadium on campus, to eliminate the need to play 10 miles away in Raymond James Stadium, the home of the Buccaneers.) USF joined the Big East in 2005, then made four straight bowl games. In ’07, after beating No. 17 Auburn and No. 5 West Virginia, the Bulls opened the season’s first BCS rankings at No. 2, their highest ranking ever, before losing their next three games and fading from national title contention. In the first half of this decade, USF didn’t make a bowl game. But after Taggart steered the team to an 8–5 season in 2015 and an 11–2 finish last year, the Bulls are back on the rise. In Flowers, they have enjoyed their first breakout star on a national level. “I’m trying to have some spirit surround the school,” Flowers says. “Get these people an opportunity to have something to talk about. When they’re talking about their schools, people can go ‘Oh, I go to USF, we’re doing this at our school.’ I could’ve gone to Florida and just been another person. I could’ve gone to Miami, been another person. I wanted to be that guy.” Flowers possesses not just a strong, accurate arm, but also top-flight speed—in high school, he was timed at 4.4 in the 40—that most AAC opponents don’t have an answer for. “It’s hard to play against him,” says USF corner Khalid McGee. “When he’s running, it’s not easy. He’s a playmaker.” This season, both the Bulls and their star quarterback have been a bit inconsistent. Flowers has had muted performances overshadowed by team wins, such as the mere 155 total yards he mustered in a 43–7 win over Temple. He has also had dominant performances, compiling five touchdowns against Illinois and 138 rushing yards against Tulane. Other than a bad 24–20 loss to Houston, in which Flowers threw for 325 yards but only rushed for seven, the Bulls have mostly played to the hype that followed them in the preseason, when many expected them to finish as the Group of Five’s highest-ranked team. They’re in position to raise their national profile with a strong finish, starting with the nationally televised regular season finale against unbeaten UCF the day after Thanksgiving. When asked about his professional ambitions after this final season ends, Flowers naturally mentions the NFL, where he will no doubt face the same questions about his potential he defied as a high school prospect. But then he quickly brings something else up: He wants to be a firefighter. “Because a lot of things happen where people need help,” he says. “A lot of people put their hands around me to help me. I just want to be there to help.” It’s a good fit, too. When things go wrong, Flowers knows what to do: Look straight into the fire and keep going.

In ’07, after beating No. 17 Auburn and No. 5 West Virginia, the Bulls opened the season’s first BCS rankings at No. 2, their highest ranking ever, before losing their next three games and fading from national title contention. In the first half of this decade, USF didn’t make a bowl game. But after Taggart steered the team to an 8–5 season in 2015 and an 11–2 finish last year, the Bulls are back on the rise. In Flowers, they have enjoyed their first breakout star on a national level. “I’m trying to have some spirit surround the school,” Flowers says. “Get these people an opportunity to have something to talk about. When they’re talking about their schools, people can go ‘Oh, I go to USF, we’re doing this at our school.’ I could’ve gone to Florida and just been another person. I could’ve gone to Miami, been another person. I wanted to be that guy.” Flowers possesses not just a strong, accurate arm, but also top-flight speed—in high school, he was timed at 4.4 in the 40—that most AAC opponents don’t have an answer for. “It’s hard to play against him,” says USF corner Khalid McGee. “When he’s running, it’s not easy. He’s a playmaker.” This season, both the Bulls and their star quarterback have been a bit inconsistent. Flowers has had muted performances overshadowed by team wins, such as the mere 155 total yards he mustered in a 43–7 win over Temple. He has also had dominant performances, compiling five touchdowns against Illinois and 138 rushing yards against Tulane. Other than a bad 24–20 loss to Houston, in which Flowers threw for 325 yards but only rushed for seven, the Bulls have mostly played to the hype that followed them in the preseason, when many expected them to finish as the Group of Five’s highest-ranked team. They’re in position to raise their national profile with a strong finish, starting with the nationally televised regular season finale against unbeaten UCF the day after Thanksgiving. When asked about his professional ambitions after this final season ends, Flowers naturally mentions the NFL, where he will no doubt face the same questions about his potential he defied as a high school prospect. But then he quickly brings something else up: He wants to be a firefighter. “Because a lot of things happen where people need help,” he says. “A lot of people put their hands around me to help me. I just want to be there to help.” It’s a good fit, too. When things go wrong, Flowers knows what to do: Look straight into the fire and keep going.	2,793	2,786	9,134,249,102,289,052,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null

-6,750,897,621,583,906,000	Customers are always the best salespeople. Salespeople who treat customers as partners instead of cash cows get rewarded with return sales and good work-of-mouth. Faith and Passion Show a passion for what you sell. When you sell something you believe in, something that can truly help your client, positive results happen. Be honest and believe in how your product can help the prospect. Whatever solution you present to your client should provide a good return on investment to his or her organization. Relationships No one wants to be “sold to.” Is your product the right fit for your client? Don’t sell something that you know your client doesn’t need or want. If you fast-talk or bully someone into buying, they won’t return. Talk less, listen more. The best salespeople help clients solve problems. Listen and actually understand what your prospect wants. Remember that you’re building a relationship. People are comfortable when they feel validated and they buy from people they like. Show them attention and understanding. Anticipate problems and admit mistakes. Deliver what you promise. Stay in touch even when the client isn’t in a position to buy. Keep track of how frequently you talk to customers. Follow up after a purchase. You’ll only hear complaints if you follow up after a purchase. If a problem emerges, understand it and fix it if possible. If you can’t remedy the issue, learn from what happened and adjust accordingly. Word-of-mouth A high opinion of a salesperson or product translates into good word of mouth – for you and your company. When you keep customers happy and stay in touch, they think and talk about you. Make sure that talk is positive. If you don’t stay in touch, customers may feel free to berate you on social media. If you’re singled out on a web forum, let it at least be positive. Social media is extremely important for word-of-mouth. Statistics reveal that a high percentage (88 %) of people trust online reviews from other customers. Help customers say positive things about you and your company. Make sure you have links to social media on your communications.

Just as important as finding a tile design you love is choosing a grout to go with it. Will you match the grout and tile? Do you want to contrast them instead? Or, are you interested in a coordinating shade of grout that complements your tile or highlights one of the hues in its multicolored design? To explain the pluses and minuses of each option, here are some points to consider when selecting grout for your tile: Matching Tile and Grout Colors When you match the color of the grout to the color of your tile, you create a more seamless look. The individual tiles become less distinct, working together to create an overall monochromatic appearance. This makes the tiled area look like one uniform space rather than lots of individual pieces in a pattern. And it typically looks larger, as a result. In small spaces or anywhere you wish to visually enlarge the square footage, matching grout and tile is a good choice. Contrasting Tile and Grout Colors The opposite of matching tile and grout is intentionally contrasting them. For white tiles, you might choose a black or dark gray grout, for example. For dark tiles, you could go with a light or white grout shade. In either case, the contrasting colors serve to accentuate the tile choice. Rather than making the space appear seamless, it draws attention to the individual tiles — their size, shape and color. While this choice tends to make a tiled area look smaller, it also can be a fun and bold way to make a design statement. Complementary Tile and Grout Colors Tiles that are multicolored can be difficult to match with grout. You may choose grout that matches or contrasts with the main color or pick a grout color that complements the entire design. If you have a tile design that incorporates orange, yellow, white and blue, for example, your best bet will typically be to choose a grout color that complements all of those hues or coordinates with one of them. Other Considerations Beyond considering which grout looks best with your tile, you’ll also want to be aware of how well various grout colors stand up to use: • Grime — Dark grout tends to hide stains better than light grout. This means it may require less upkeep compared to white or light shades. For high-traffic areas or places where dirt is inevitable, you may wish to ensure lower maintenance by going with a darker grout. Going one shade lighter than your tile is another good way to keep grout from quickly looking dirty. Because the grout color starts out lighter than the neighboring tiles, it can give the illusion of being clean even as it picks up dirt. • Fading —While dark grout hides stains, it also will fade faster over time. Light grout fades more slowly, which may make it a better choice for the long haul, depending on the tile with which you pair it. • Longevity — Neutral colors, especially soothing earth tones, are safe choices in terms of design longevity and resale value. If you want a grout you’re likely to still enjoy decades from now, choose white, tan, gray or a shade that matches your tile. • The beauty of grout in Arizona is that it’s more than merely functional. While it dependably fills the gaps between tiles, it also offers aesthetic possibilities and a way to put your personal touch on tilework. Depending on your taste, you can use grout to highlight your tiles, enlarge your space or exercise your creativity. The above guide will help you think through the possibilities as you plan your new tiled floor, walls or backsplash.

-6,368,163,656,529,133,000	Spring has sprung I am feeling RENEWED this week! Spring has finally arrived in Winnipeg and along with it a new sense of optimism has opened up in my mind and heart. I recently wrote about feeling a bit like I’ve been floating in limbo. Uneasiness has lingered around me like a fog for the last few months, sometimes light and other times dense, but always more or less present. I think change presents those foggy feelings. It’s just like when you start a new job and have to learn things all over again. You might be excited for the new job but the transition part always more or less sucks. It takes time to settle into it and find your mojo. I was expecting that I was going to make this huge life change (leaving 9 to 5 to work p/t for our family biz) and have immediate mojo. Insta-mojo, if you will. I was wrong. The good news is that this week everything shifting and the fog feels lifted. I can see sun beams shining through again and, let me tell you, it’s a relief. This shift is no accident. Although it coincides with spring’s rather late arrival in Winnipeg, it’s also being escorted in with a new attitude I’ve been fostering. I know from years in a recovery program that when I open myself up to the universe, willingness and openness collide with opportunity and it’s no coincidence. I’ve learned that it’s important to remember that nothing is permanent. Whether floating on a high of good feelings or struggling with discomfort and restlessness, you can always count on things changing whether you actually want them to or not. And I was getting pretty uncomfortable in recent weeks with that heavy, dense fog that followed me around with only intermittent relief. I started to worry that my discomfort wasn’t going to change. Turns out, what was actually needed for the sunlight to burst through the fog was an inside job. You know that old saying, nothing changes if nothing changes. It was up to me to open myself up to create some space for opportunity and light to find me. So, today I have a renewed sense of optimism and hope for a bright, meaningful future where passion collides with opportunity and output. Happy long weekend! Habits: the bad, the good and the better Do you have any bad habits? I do. Several, actually. None that are necessarily harmful or that I worry too much about. I feel I also have good habits and so it all balances outs. I work out and run regularly, and I eat fairly well. So, I’m all good, right? Almost… but there is one nasty habit that I have to break. Part of me doesn’t really WANT to break it, but I know I NEED to break it. I spend too much time on my phone. There, I admitted it. I’m sure it’s probably an addiction (but I prefer to call it a ‘bad habit’). My guess is that I’m not alone with this phone habit, am I? We live in a society of fifteen second videos and perfectly curated Instagram feeds constantly bombarding us with ideas of how we can be better, thinner and more stylish versions of ourselves. And, unfortunately, it’s got me hooked. Part of me figures since we are all basically hooked on our phones, then why should I have to bother changing anything. The answer is, I think it’s bad for my mental health and stunts potential opportunity for growth. And I don’t want to be stunted. Moreover, I find myself CONSTANTLY negotiating and putting limits on my kids’ screen-time (I’ve also been known to nag Jason about picking up his phone while we are talking or eating dinner together). In reality, I’m probably the worst for this in my family and (shame on me) if anyone dares to police my phone habit, they’re likely to get a quick snipe back at them! So, I’ve decided it’s time I police myself a little and start building better screen-time habits. In order to put limits on my bad habit, I know I need to replace it with good habits. With that in mind, I’ve come up with three tactics to put into place to switch the bad to good. 1. Put the phone in a drawer and put on some good tunes. One of the times of day I am particularly bad for mindless scrolling is after the school/dinner-making hour. Juliette and Miles will usually be playing or watching a show and eating a snack around this time. I tend to enjoy some time chilling out and scrolling my phone before I start to pull supper together in the kitchen. Isn’t that awful?? I could be spending quality time with my kids but instead I’m wasting time on Instagram. I feel a little gross just admitting it! This time of day organically starts to change as the weather warms up, and we naturally start spending more time playing outside with our neighbours. But until that happens (spring weather can feel free to show up anytime…), we tend to stay indoors more between the hours of 4 and 6 pm. So, rather than stick my nose (and theirs) in a screen, I’m going to put on some music, pull out some puzzles or colouring, and enjoy some time with the kids. Maybe we’ll have a little dance party or handstand contest! I can leave the tunes playing while cooking dinner and maybe even get the kids to help in the kitchen. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that children learn from what they see, not what they’re told. If I want them to have less screen time, I need to set that example. It starts with me! 2. Morning meditation I doubt that spiritual gurus and wellness coaches have been spreading the word about the benefits of meditation and setting intentions for the day because it’s a BAD idea! I’ve dabbled with meditation on and off over the years but rarely stayed committed for any length of time. My excuse is always that “mornings are crazy with the kids,” yadda, yadda… But honestly, I spend twenty to thirty minutes upstairs blowdrying my hair, putting on makeup, and looking at my phone every morning. During that half hour, the kids rarely come upstairs. With that in mind, I know I can definitely dedicate five minutes daily to a morning meditation. Five minutes may not seem like much time but it feels like a manageable starting place for a beginner. In the past, when I’ve played around with meditating, I used the Headspace app on my phone and found it super helpful. My plan is to start using that app again to get me into the habit and to acquire some helpful meditation tools. The narrator, whose voice is so calming and gentle, presents guided meditations of any length you choose. You can also set up the app to send you notifications throughout the day with mindful messages and little bits of wisdom. 3. Read a book Finally, I am going to start reading BOOKS again, dammit! I used to read every night before bed and now I lay under my covers, comfy and cozy, and I scroll. For far too long, I scroll and peruse images of people I know, and many don’t, doing random things that have nothing to do with me. I waste SO MUCH TIME scrolling! I don’t want to be that person! I want to be the Ali that reads again! It’s not for lack of reading material that I wind up scrolling. Frankly, I’m just being lazy. I have a stack of books just waiting for me to pick them up. Good books, too! Becoming by Michelle Obama is first up on my list. I started reading it a couple of months ago and set it down after two chapters with the intention of picking it up again the next night… and then, I just didn’t. On the plus side (and in my defense), I have been reading an excellent novel with Juliette for the last month. Every night we read a few chapters of Wonder. Have you read it? I cry almost every night while reading it to Juliette. Technically it’s children’s literature, but I think it’s a beautiful book for readers of all ages. Highly recommend! They made it into a film with Julia Roberts that we are going to watch when we finish the book. I’ll be sure to have a fresh box of tissue nearby… My reading goal at one book per month. Maybe I’ll even start a book club here on the blog! Would you join? Leave a comment below and if there’s interest that could be something fun to roll out in the coming months. There you have it! I am consciously committing to spending less time on my phone and MORE time doing things that are actually good for me. Here’s where the accountability comes in: I am going to report back to you on the blog how I’m doing with my commitment. I promise I’ll be honest! I plan to write quick weekly updates on my progress and, thanks to that awful little iPhone feature that reports your screen-time, I’ll have actual measurables to tell me if I’m succeeding or not. Wish me luck! In between I have found myself in a bit of a funny place lately. I feel confident in my core I am on the path I’m meant to take but the future feels a bit unclear. It’s as if I’m in between where I was and where I’m going. Being in between can feel exciting because the possibilities are seemingly endless. It can also feel hopeless for those exact same reasons. Even though I have clear deliverables on my plate right now which are to help out at Keener Jerseys (the family biz) and have more time with the kids at home (something I’ve been longing to have for years), I also know that there is more out there for me. My motivation for shifting out of a regular 9 to 5 office gig and into working flexible hours for the company was a desire to explore what a non-traditional work life could mean for me. Can I carve out a path that is my own? Last week, I heard someone speak on making career choices (and life choices) motivated by what their greatest contribution could be to the cause at hand. Not by what they could gain or achieve, whether in monetary or status terms, but what they could meaningfully contribute. It seems so simple and yet so rare that this is a person’s greatest motivation when decision-making. Here’s something I haven’t mentioned on the blog yet, I am a member of a 12-step group and have close to 13 years of sobriety. I am grateful everyday for all of it. I bring it up only because it’s relevant to this topic. SO MUCH of what I have learned over these last 12+ years pertains to this exact topic: what can I contribute rather than what can I gain. How can I be of service? You see, this thought process is not second nature to me. I have to work at it. My nature is to jump to the “what’s in it for me?” Instead of “how can I help?” Embarassing but true. Reflecting on this over these last few days has reframed my thoughts and feelings on carving out my path. I have been focusing so much on what I can GET that will bring me happiness and fulfillment rather than what can I GIVE. Not intentionally, this is just the way my brain was unpacking potential opportunities. When I focus on what my contribution can be rather than what I will receive because of it, it almost feels like a release from pressure. Like today, right now, my greatest contributions are helping the business in whatever capacity I can, whether that be writing, editing, social media or administration duties. When I make a contribution that has a positive impact at Keener Jerseys, I feel good. Really good, actually. And truth be told, there are ‘other duties as assigned’ that have popped up over the last few months that I’m not crazy about doing. Someone has to do them though, so why not me? I’m filling a void and making a meaningful contribution that’s resulting in getting shit done. That right there is a reason to be grateful. Aside from Keener Jerseys, my MOST important contribution is holding down the fort at home and being present for our kids. Let’s be real, Jason works long, hard hours and is often up and out the door before anyone is awake and there are many late nights, too. It’s tough and frustrating sometimes but it’s the season of life we’re in. My newfound flexibility allows me to drop the kids at school and pick them up at 3:30. It allows me to volunteer on field trips and be home for sick days. It’s kind of invisible work that has no monetary gains and just goes as unnoticed for most of the world but it has significant value for our family. Both of those ‘jobs’ are important, however I also know that this is not where it ends for me. I trust that more will be revealed and that I am on a path of discovery. It’s kind of like, I know there’s something coming up around the bend, I just don’t quite know WHAT yet. (Either that, or I’m just having a midlife crisis. As I said, more will be revealed.. ;) I spent the better part of my 20s partying and having fun (until it stopped being fun) and then quit that lifestyle at age 27. I spent the next few years focusing on recovery and getting healthy. At age 30, I went back to school and spent the rest of the decade checking all the boxes I wanted to check. Education, husband, kids, career. And I managed to get all the boxes checked – which is awesome, and I’m so grateful for all my blessings… (do you feel a ‘but’ coming?) Here’s the thing, because I wasted so much time in my 20s, then felt the urgency to get shit done in my 30s, I never really paused to consider what my passion might be. I felt the need to catch up to my peers and become a ‘grown-up,’ so I didn’t really ever stop to consider where my heart would lead me if I let it. I just had to hurry up and getter done. Once all boxes were checked, I was left with a feeling of ‘what now? That brings us to today… As I continue to navigate my path and uncover opportunities, I will keep my focus on what I can CONTRIBUTE rather than what I will receive. Being involved in something that fires me up is still of utmost importance but my motivation is just as (if not more) important. How did you discover your life’s passion and work? Did you know from a young age where you wanted to land or are you a late bloomer, like me? I’d love to hear. You are stronger than you think you are Over the course of the last few years, I have taken up running (if you know me at all or follow me on social media, this is not news). For many years prior to becoming a runner, I found a fitness routine through walking and practicing yoga (although I was never a totally committed yogi, I did have spurts of commitment along the way). Generally, I enjoyed lacing up my runners and going for a brisk walk down Wellington Crescent. I also consistently used walking as my mode of transportation to/from work, school, etc. I always WANTED to be a runner but running was just so frigging hard. I never really knew how to start and whenever I did start, I wound up hating it. So I stuck to walking (which is fantastic exercise in its own right!). Then in 2013, when Juliette was nearing the age of two, a few of my girlfriends took up running and were killing it at some local races. They all had young kids at home, just as I did (do) and here they were making time for themselves and their health by lacing up and hitting the pavement. I felt so inspired! And I wanted to get in on the action, too. So that fall, along with some of those gal pals, I signed up for a 10K at the WFPS Run. All us girls cheered each other on during training and kept each other motivated along the way with upbeat text messages and kudos. It was so fun! When I finished that 10k run, I felt so proud of myself. I also felt motivated to keep moving. The following year, I ran the WFPS 10k again while I was about ten weeks pregnant. That following May, I had Miles and running took a backseat. Okay, fast forward to 2016. After some on and off spurts of running, Jason and I relayed the Winnipeg Police Half Marathon in May and then, after some strong encouragement from a dear friend, I registered for my first half at the Manitoba Marathon. Real talk: I was undertrained. It was a hot/muggy day. I felt awful. It took me two hours and thirty one minutes to run it… but I finished! And as soon as it was over I knew I wanted to do it again. That’s what a race finish line will do to you! Since then, I have run three more half marathons each with increasingly faster finishing times. Last year I finished the season with a 2:04:43 at the WFPS Half Marathon just three weeks after running Seawheeze, the lululemon half, in Vancouver. I would say that 2018 is the year I felt I became a bonafide runner. It’s the year I actually started enjoying running and began to feel strong out there while pounding pavement. My mantra became, “you’re stronger than you think you are.” I would repeat that line in my head over and over during long-run training days, speed workouts, and especially on race day. Through my relationship with running, I’ve learned I really AM stronger than I think I am, both mentally and physically. I was never and “athletic” kid growing up and therefore never felt comfortable in the realm of sport. It intimidated me, and I felt out of place. Truthfully, I’ve always felt a little out of place in a lot of places… What running has given me is a new sense of confidence that previously wasn’t there. The fact that I can lace up my shoes and run ten miles on a Sunday, as I did this weekend, is so gratifying to me. My body can push through fatigue and discomfort and become stronger for it. My mind helps to keep pushing me along which helps me build my mental strength and resilience. I am stronger than I think I am. The voice that tells me it’s too hard or too fast or that I can’t do it is slowly but surely being silenced by the voice that tells me, “You are stronger than you think you are. You are strong.” And I believe her. On Fear Photo taken on a flight from YWG to YVR last September when I was on my way to run the lululemon Seawheeze half marathon. Scary and exciting – my favourite combo! In my first post, I touched briefly on leaving my 9 to 5 job to help out at my husband’s company and explore what a life with more flexibility might look like. What I didn’t mention is how absolutely terrifying going through with that was. Terrifying and exhilerating all at once. The day that I gave my notice at work was legitimately one of scariest days of my life. And for about a solid week afterward I felt like I was soaring, or maybe freefalling, through the sky without a net. There was a lot of “ohmygodwhathaveidone?” going through my mind and on more than one occasion I asked Jason “is this okay? will we be okay?” A lot of friends and family applauded the courageous move (although there’s a good chance a lot of them also wondered what the hell I was doing!). It’s been an uphill battle for the last four years growing the business (startups are no joke), so leaving my secure paycheck and going all-in with him was pretty bold. The thing about doing something courageous is that it’s actually very, very scary. Here’s what Queen B (no, not Beyoncé) has to say about it: “Daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time.” ~ Brené Brown Preach, Brené, preach! This quote has come to my mind almost daily since shifting careers. I find it so reassuring to know that the feelings of fear and excitement that are happening simultaneously within me are normal and expected. Here’s what I knew when I decided to do the scary thing and leave my job: I knew that I had to. Okay, maybe I didn’t HAVE to, but I had been thinking about it for a long time. The thing was, even though I actually had a pretty good job and worked with great people, I felt unfulfilled. I felt uninspired. Now, I know that not everyone who feels unfulfilled and uninspired can just jump up and quit. I also know that I am sitting in a priveleged position to not only entertain that idea but also follow through with it. And let’s be clear, it is certainly not without risk. However, a series of events unfolded before me in such a way that felt like the universe saying, “it’s okay to take that leap now, Ali.” So, I did. It was a leap of faith I took in hopes of not just contributing to our family business but also carving out my own path. I think I kind of love uncertainty, if I’m being honest. A few years ago when I went back to work after my maternity leave with Miles, my now almost-four year old son, I felt completely deflated. Not just because my year of mat-leave was done (and I had to send my baby to daycare everyday) but also because I had nothing new or different on the horizon. In the five or so years leading up to then, I had finished school, gotten a job, had a baby, gotten another job, had another baby, and now here I was, back at the job with nothing exciting – or even scary – to look forward to. I know we can’t live our lives jumping from one whirlwind experience to another. That’s just not feasible. I also truly value stability and routine, but I think for me stability/routine also needs a bit of variety to keep it interesting. Does that make ANY sense?? I believe that no matter of how many times someone needs to drum up some courage to do the thing they want to do but are scared to do, it gets never gets un-scary. That butterfly in the tummy, leap through the air without a net feeling still pops up. What also starts happening is trusting the process. That gut instinct that you’ll figure things out and tackle obstacles that arise continues to get stronger with practice. I spent so many years of my life scared to change or make changes and it wasn’t a very fun or fulfilling way to live. I can’t predict the future or outcomes, but I can trust in my abilities to take a calculated risk and put myself in new situations. Today, I have the opportunity to walk through my fear and find faith on the other side. What a gift. Post One A recent photo after a haircut because shouldn’t I have at least ONE photo in my first blog post? Here we go, blogging again! Does anyone still read blogs? I mean I do, and I’m sure some of you reading this still do. But overall, have blogs fallen victim to the mindless scroll and 15-second videos that I seem to consume in copious and probably unhealthy amounts? I am starting this blog in hopes that this is not the case and in general people still enjoying reading content that is longer than three or four sentences. This feels good, by the way. Writing. It feels nice and I’m realizing how much I’ve missed it. When Juliette was a baby/toddler, I wrote a ‘mommy blog’ and loved it. But of course things got busy… Work, life, baby #2 and my husband’s new business all took priority and left me with no time and no energy to write, so I stopped. I kept the URL for a while but eventually let it go and now if I want it back I have to pay hundreds of dollars. You, as readers, can no longer see the content online. Which is kind of too bad. I can see it, which is kind of nice and nostalgic. Anyhoo, I’ve decided to make time to write again now. I think it’s my thing, you know? I think I’m good at writing and it seems to make me feel good. So, I’ll make the time. For me… and maybe for you, too (if you decide to stick around and read it). Recently, I left my job to work with my husband at his business to help out with marketing and comms. I was feeling discontent and seeking a life with more freedom and more time to get creative. It’s been a month and it feels like the time is right for me to start bending that creative muscle within. Hence, this blog. I realized that the icky feeling of discontent was seeping in and a pity party was starting to form. That scared me. I mean, if leaving my job wasn’t the answer to solve my discontentment then WHAT THE EFF??! Then it dawned on me… I was looking to external solutions for an inside problem. What I was seeking was creativity and joy. And I know from experience that only I can create my own joy. Then I better get creating, right?? So, I write. I write because I love to write. I write because it helps me feel connected to myself and the world around me. I write in hopes that someone will read it but if no one does that’s okay, too. p.s. I actually do hope someone reads it.	# Spring has sprung I am feeling RENEWED this week! Spring has finally arrived in Winnipeg and along with it a new sense of optimism has opened up in my mind and heart. I recently wrote about feeling a bit like I’ve been floating in limbo.

And I was getting pretty uncomfortable in recent weeks with that heavy, dense fog that followed me around with only intermittent relief. I started to worry that my discomfort wasn’t going to change. Turns out, what was actually needed for the sunlight to burst through the fog was an inside job. You know that old saying, nothing changes if nothing changes. It was up to me to open myself up to create some space for opportunity and light to find me. So, today I have a renewed sense of optimism and hope for a bright, meaningful future where passion collides with opportunity and output. Happy long weekend! --- # Habits: the bad, the good and the better Do you have any bad habits? I do. Several, actually. None that are necessarily harmful or that I worry too much about. I feel I also have good habits and so it all balances out. I work out and run regularly, and I eat fairly well. So, I’m all good, right? Almost… but there is one nasty habit that I have to break. Part of me doesn’t really WANT to break it, but I know I NEED to break it. I spend too much time on my phone. There, I admitted it. I’m sure it’s probably an addiction (but I prefer to call it a ‘bad habit’). My guess is that I’m not alone with this phone habit, am I? We live in a society of fifteen second videos and perfectly curated Instagram feeds constantly bombarding us with ideas of how we can be better, thinner and more stylish versions of ourselves. And, unfortunately, it’s got me hooked. Part of me figures since we are all basically hooked on our phones, then why should I have to bother changing anything. The answer is, I think it’s bad for my mental health and stunts potential opportunity for growth. And I don’t want to be stunted. Moreover, I find myself CONSTANTLY negotiating and putting limits on my kids’ screen-time (I’ve also been known to nag Jason about picking up his phone while we are talking or eating dinner together). In reality, I’m probably the worst for this in my family and (shame on me) if anyone dares to police my phone habit, they’re likely to get a quick snipe back at them! So, I’ve decided it’s time I police myself a little and start building better screen-time habits. In order to put limits on my bad habit, I know I need to replace it with good habits. With that in mind, I’ve come up with three tactics to put into place to switch the bad to good. 1. Put the phone in a drawer and put on some good tunes. One of the times of day I am particularly bad for mindless scrolling is after the school/dinner-making hour. Juliette and Miles will usually be playing or watching a show and eating a snack around this time. I tend to enjoy some time chilling out and scrolling my phone before I start to pull supper together in the kitchen. Isn’t that awful?? I could be spending quality time with my kids but instead I’m wasting time on Instagram. I feel a little gross just admitting it! This time of day organically starts to change as the weather warms up, and we naturally start spending more time playing outside with our neighbours. But until that happens, we tend to stay indoors more between the hours of 4 and 6 pm. So, rather than stick my nose (and theirs) in a screen, I’m going to put on some music, pull out some puzzles or colouring, and enjoy some time with the kids. Maybe we’ll have a little dance party or handstand contest! I can leave the tunes playing while cooking dinner and maybe even get the kids to help in the kitchen. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that children learn from what they see, not what they’re told. If I want them to have less screen time, I need to set that example. It starts with me! 2. Morning meditation I doubt that spiritual gurus and wellness coaches have been spreading the word about the benefits of meditation and setting intentions for the day because it’s a BAD idea! I’ve dabbled with meditation on and off over the years but rarely stayed committed for any length of time. My excuse is always that “mornings are crazy with the kids,” yadda, yadda… But honestly, I spend twenty to thirty minutes upstairs blow-drying my hair, putting on makeup, and looking at my phone every morning. During that half hour, the kids rarely come upstairs. With that in mind, I know I can definitely dedicate five minutes daily to a morning meditation. Five minutes may not seem like much time but it feels like a manageable starting place for a beginner. In the past, when I’ve played around with meditating, I used the Headspace app on my phone and found it super helpful. My plan is to start using that app again to get me into the habit and to acquire some helpful meditation tools. The narrator, whose voice is so calming and gentle, presents guided meditations of any length you choose. You can also set up the app to send you notifications throughout the day with mindful messages and little bits of wisdom. 3. Read a book Finally, I am going to start reading BOOKS again, dammit! I used to read every night before bed and now I lay under my covers, comfy and cozy, and I scroll. For far too long, I scroll and peruse images of people I know, and many I don’t, doing random things that have nothing to do with me. I waste SO MUCH TIME scrolling! I don’t want to be that person! I want to be the Ali that reads again! It’s not for lack of reading material that I wind up scrolling. Frankly, I’m just being lazy. I have a stack of books just waiting for me to pick them up. Good books, too! Becoming by Michelle Obama is first up on my list. I started reading it a couple of months ago and set it down after two chapters with the intention of picking it up again the next night… and then, I just didn’t. On the plus side (and in my defense), I have been reading an excellent novel with Juliette for the last month. Every night we read a few chapters of Wonder. Have you read it? I cry almost every night while reading it to Juliette. Technically it’s children’s literature, but I think it’s a beautiful book for readers of all ages. Highly recommend! They made it into a film with Julia Roberts that we are going to watch when we finish the book. I’ll be sure to have a fresh box of tissue nearby… My reading goal is one book per month. Maybe I’ll even start a book club here on the blog! Would you join? Leave a comment below and if there’s interest that could be something fun to roll out in the coming months. There you have it! I am consciously committing to spending less time on my phone and MORE time doing things that are actually good for me. Here’s where the accountability comes in: I am going to report back to you on the blog how I’m doing with my commitment. I promise I’ll be honest! I plan to write quick weekly updates on my progress and, thanks to that awful little iPhone feature that reports your screen-time, I’ll have actual measurables to tell me if I’m succeeding or not. Wish me luck! --- # In between I have found myself in a bit of a funny place lately. I feel confident in my core I am on the path I’m meant to take but the future feels a bit unclear. It’s as if I’m in between where I was and where I’m going. Being in between can feel exciting because the possibilities are seemingly endless. It can also feel hopeless for those exact same reasons. Even though I have clear deliverables on my plate right now—which are to help out at Keener Jerseys (the family biz) and have more time with the kids at home (something I’ve been longing to have for years)—I also know that there is more out there for me. My motivation for shifting out of a regular 9 to 5 office gig and into working flexible hours for the company was a desire to explore what a non-traditional work life could mean for me. Can I carve out a path that is my own? Last week, I heard someone speak on making career choices (and life choices) motivated by what their greatest contribution could be to the cause at hand. Not by what they could gain or achieve, whether in monetary or status terms, but what they could meaningfully contribute. It seems so simple and yet so rare that this is a person’s greatest motivation when decision-making. Here’s something I haven’t mentioned on the blog yet: I am a member of a 12-step group and have close to 13 years of sobriety. I am grateful everyday for all of it. I bring it up only because it’s relevant to this topic. SO MUCH of what I have learned over these last 12+ years pertains to this exact topic: what can I contribute rather than what can I gain. How can I be of service? You see, this thought process is not second nature to me. I have to work at it. My nature is to jump to the “what’s in it for me?” instead of “how can I help?” Embarrassing but true. Reflecting on this over these last few days has reframed my thoughts and feelings on carving out my path. I have been focusing so much on what I can GET that will bring me happiness and fulfillment rather than what can I GIVE. Not intentionally, this is just the way my brain was unpacking potential opportunities. When I focus on what my contribution can be rather than what I will receive because of it, it almost feels like a release from pressure. Like today, right now, my greatest contributions are helping the business in whatever capacity I can, whether that be writing, editing, social media or administration duties. When I make a contribution that has a positive impact at Keener Jerseys, I feel good. Really good, actually. And truth be told, there are ‘other duties as assigned’ that have popped up over the last few months that I’m not crazy about doing. Someone has to do them though, so why not me? I’m filling a void and making a meaningful contribution that’s resulting in getting shit done. That right there is a reason to be grateful. Aside from Keener Jerseys, my MOST important contribution is holding down the fort at home and being present for our kids. Let’s be real, Jason works long, hard hours and is often up and out the door before anyone is awake and there are many late nights, too. It’s tough and frustrating sometimes but it’s the season of life we’re in. My newfound flexibility allows me to drop the kids at school and pick them up at 3:30. It allows me to volunteer on field trips and be home for sick days. It’s kind of invisible work that has no monetary gains and just goes as unnoticed for most of the world but it has significant value for our family. Both of those ‘jobs’ are important, however I also know that this is not where it ends for me. I trust that more will be revealed and that I am on a path of discovery. It’s kind of like, I know there’s something coming up around the bend, I just don’t quite know WHAT yet. (Either that, or I’m just having a midlife crisis. As I said, more will be revealed… ;) I spent the better part of my 20s partying and having fun (until it stopped being fun) and then quit that lifestyle at age 27. I spent the next few years focusing on recovery and getting healthy. At age 30, I went back to school and spent the rest of the decade checking all the boxes I wanted to check. Education, husband, kids, career. And I managed to get all the boxes checked—which is awesome, and I’m so grateful for all my blessings… (do you feel a ‘but’ coming?) Here’s the thing: because I wasted so much time in my 20s, then felt the urgency to get shit done in my 30s, I never really paused to consider what my passion might be. I felt the need to catch up to my peers and become a ‘grown-up,’ so I didn’t really ever stop to consider where my heart would lead me if I let it. I just had to hurry up and getter done. Once all boxes were checked, I was left with a feeling of ‘what now?’ That brings us to today… As I continue to navigate my path and uncover opportunities, I will keep my focus on what I can CONTRIBUTE rather than what I will receive. Being involved in something that fires me up is still of utmost importance but my motivation is just as (if not more) important. How did you discover your life’s passion and work? Did you know from a young age where you wanted to land or are you a late bloomer, like me? I’d love to hear. --- # You are stronger than you think you are Over the course of the last few years, I have taken up running (if you know me at all or follow me on social media, this is not news). For many years prior to becoming a runner, I found a fitness routine through walking and practicing yoga (although I was never a totally committed yogi, I did have spurts of commitment along the way). Generally, I enjoyed lacing up my runners and going for a brisk walk down Wellington Crescent. I also consistently used walking as my mode of transportation to/from work, school, etc. I always WANTED to be a runner but running was just so frigging hard. I never really knew how to start and whenever I did start, I wound up hating it. So I stuck to walking (which is fantastic exercise in its own right!). Then in 2013, when Juliette was nearing the age of two, a few of my girlfriends took up running and were killing it at some local races. They all had young kids at home, just as I did (do) and here they were making time for themselves and their health by lacing up and hitting the pavement. I felt so inspired! And I wanted to get in on the action, too. So that fall, along with some of those gal pals, I signed up for a 10K at the WFPS Run. All us girls cheered each other on during training and kept each other motivated along the way with upbeat text messages and kudos. It was so fun! When I finished that 10K run, I felt so proud of myself. I also felt motivated to keep moving. The following year, I ran the WFPS 10K again while I was about ten weeks pregnant. That following May, I had Miles and running took a backseat. Fast forward to 2016. After some on-and-off spurts of running, Jason and I relayed the Winnipeg Police Half Marathon in May and then, after some strong encouragement from a dear friend, I registered for my first half at the Manitoba Marathon. Real talk: I was undertrained. It was a hot/muggy day. I felt awful. It took me two hours and thirty-one minutes to run it… but I finished! And as soon as it was over I knew I wanted to do it again. That’s what a race finish line will do to you! Since then, I have run three more half marathons—each with increasingly faster finishing times. Last year I finished the season with a 2:04:43 at the WFPS Half Marathon just three weeks after running Seawheeze, the lululemon half, in Vancouver. I would say that 2018 is the year I felt I became a bonafide runner. It’s the year I actually started enjoying running and began to feel strong out there while pounding pavement. My mantra became, “you’re stronger than you think you are.” I would repeat that line in my head over and over during long-run training days, speed workouts, and especially on race day. Through my relationship with running, I’ve learned I really AM stronger than I think I am, both mentally and physically. I was never an “athletic” kid growing up and therefore never felt comfortable in the realm of sport. It intimidated me, and I felt out of place. Truthfully, I’ve always felt a little out of place in a lot of places… What running has given me is a new sense of confidence that previously wasn’t there. The fact that I can lace up my shoes and run ten miles on a Sunday, as I did this weekend, is so gratifying to me. My body can push through fatigue and discomfort and become stronger for it. My mind helps to keep pushing me along which helps me build my mental strength and resilience. I am stronger than I think I am. The voice that tells me it’s too hard or too fast or that I can’t do it is slowly but surely being silenced by the voice that tells me, “You are stronger than you think you are. You are strong.” And I believe her. --- # On Fear In my first post, I touched briefly on leaving my 9 to 5 job to help out at my husband’s company and explore what a life with more flexibility might look like. What I didn’t mention is how absolutely terrifying going through with that was. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. The day that I gave my notice at work was legitimately one of scariest days of my life. And for about a solid week afterward I felt like I was soaring, or maybe freefalling, through the sky without a net. There was a lot of “ohmygodwhathaveidone?” going through my mind and on more than one occasion I asked Jason “is this okay? Will we be okay?” A lot of friends and family applauded the courageous move (although there’s a good chance a lot of them also wondered what the hell I was doing!). It’s been an uphill battle for the last four years growing the business (startups are no joke), so leaving my secure paycheck and going all-in with him was pretty bold. The thing about doing something courageous is that it’s actually very, very scary. Here’s what Brené Brown has to say about it: > “Daring greatly is being brave and afraid every minute of the day at the exact same time.” Preach, Brené, preach! This quote has come to my mind almost daily since shifting careers. I find it so reassuring to know that the feelings of fear and excitement that are happening simultaneously within me are normal and expected. Here’s what I knew when I decided to do the scary thing and leave my job: I knew that I had to. Okay, maybe I didn’t HAVE to, but I had been thinking about it for a long time. The thing was, even though I actually had a pretty good job and worked with great people, I felt unfulfilled. I felt uninspired. Now, I know that not everyone who feels unfulfilled and uninspired can just jump up and quit. I also know that I am sitting in a privileged position to not only entertain that idea but also follow through with it. And let’s be clear, it is certainly not without risk. However, a series of events unfolded before me in such a way that felt like the universe saying, “it’s okay to take that leap now, Ali.” So, I did. It was a leap of faith I took in hopes of not just contributing to our family business but also carving out my own path. I think I kind of love uncertainty, if I’m being honest. A few years ago when I went back to work after my maternity leave with Miles, my now almost-four-year-old son, I felt completely deflated. Not just because my year of mat-leave was done (and I had to send my baby to daycare every day) but also because I had nothing new or different on the horizon. In the five or so years leading up to then, I had finished school, gotten a job, had a baby, gotten another job, had another baby, and now here I was, back at the job with nothing exciting—or even scary—to look forward to. I know we can’t live our lives jumping from one whirlwind experience to another. That’s just not feasible. I also truly value stability and routine, but I think for me stability/routine also needs a bit of variety to keep it interesting. I believe that no matter how many times someone needs to drum up some courage to do the thing they want to do but are scared to do, it never gets un-scary. That butterfly-in-the-tummy, leap-through-the-air-without-a-net feeling still pops up. What also starts happening is trusting the process. That gut instinct that you’ll figure things out and tackle obstacles that arise continues to get stronger with practice. I spent so many years of my life scared to change or make changes and it wasn’t a very fun or fulfilling way to live. I can’t predict the future or outcomes, but I can trust in my abilities to take a calculated risk and put myself in new situations. Today, I have the opportunity to walk through my fear and find faith on the other side. What a gift.	5,360	4,759	-6,368,163,656,529,133,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null
2,519,812,323,402,364,000	The Three-Body Problem – Cixin Liu Keep reading this book: the first three-quarters seem aimless, and I gave up. What’s at stake? Who gives a damn about this video game? (I also have an anti-video-game prejudice.) But enough people I admire recommended the book that I kept going, and I’m glad I did. And after The Three-Body Problem, I read the next two which are in some ways structured similarly: somewhat meandering first halves followed by shocking reversals and revelations, culminating in a work of deep time that does not seem to break special or general relativity but does work with them. The real terror here is not the many monsters of fairy tales, whether ancient or modern, but knowledge itself: “If even an extremely simple arrangement like the three-body system is unpredictable chaos, how can we have any faith in discovering the laws of a complicated universe?” Wang asks about two-thirds through the novel. I will not offer the answer, but I did read Martin Rees’s essay “Is There a Limit to Scientific Understanding?” just before re-starting The Three-Body Problem. One hopes there is no limit to scientific understanding, but that is a hope, not a guarantee. In the “game” Wang plays in The Three-Body Problem, a civilization keeps being destroyed by perturbations in the orbit of three suns around a planet (hence the title). Each time he enters the world, he needs to observe or solve a problem in order for the civilization to advance—it’s a bit like the computer game Civilization or Age of Empires. Except this game seems to have unnerving, mysterious consequences in the real world. Not much is explained, and it’s hard to identify the “missing” information pieces in the novel; The Three-Body Problem doesn’t seem to have rules, as other novels do. In a mystery novel, the implicit rules are there, and the killer is human, with human motives and values. He (usually a he, but not always) cannot destroy humanity itself. A mystery novel is like a war using conventional weapons. Unpleasant and miserable, perhaps, but unlikely to be existentially destructive. Nuclear weapons are different: they could be existentially destructive, and war with them is different. Some novels seem to have no internal rules and no guarantee that the good guys will win, or even that any guys will survive. These novels are existentially unsettling, and they tend to be classified as SF; Three-Body is one of them (Blindsight is another). Initially the novel starts in China’s Cultural Revolution: “During those years, everyone had a special sensitivity for their own political situation. The sense was especially acute in Ye Wenjie. She felt the world around her closing in like a sack being drawn shut, and everything press in on her.” We may think the novel is about politics, and it often is, but science is its bedrock, for reasons I don’t want to elaborate here but that will become apparent over the trilogy’s course. The novel’s world depends on science, but also on the fear of contact with a more technologically advanced society. In Three-Body, Wang finds that “This civilization seems to have developed to a very advanced state.” The implication being, of course, that it may soon be destroyed. Some spoilers follow. In later books, the possibility of civilization extinction is explored and occurs. The third book in the series, Dearth’s End, finds that one threat had, from humanity’s perspective, “lasted close to three centuries [. . .] yet what took its place was an even crueler universe.” People—in the broadest sense possible—who don’t struggle and win, die. There is no long-term respite from competition. We don’t often see modern fiction imply this. A nonfiction book like Zero to One may, but most who read Zero to One aren’t seeking its darker depths. Perhaps we should go there. If you read The Three-Body Problem, don’t give up halfway through, as I did. Often, when the book (and not just the first one) seems like it’s at best dully meandering, something shocking happens. That sense of complacency and direction shattered happens again and again, perhaps as a metaphor for life. I don’t fully understand the extensive metaphoric readings the books could be given, and that’s good news: they’re rich enough for re-readings and many readings, in a way many books aren’t. There are also many sub-genres of science fiction stashed in it, ranging from first contact to deep space exploration to the many-worlds theory. Some things remain strangely absent—we don’t get AI centuries from now?—but they can be ignored because there’s so much on the page. 4 responses 1.

I am too at the start of the book and found the pacing different from what i come to expect of scifi. Am re-adjusting. This year, the plan is to read the not yet mainstream Asian and African scifi and this seem to be a good place . Any recommendations for such reads Jake? Like 3. I listened to The Three Body Problem on audiobook mostly, supplemented with the ebook. Listening quickens the pace, but I agree, there’s a still point when you wonder where it’s all headed. For me, thankfully, that’s about when the Three Body game and real life start to connect. The chinese history lesson is intriguing. I’ve never studied chinese culture, so that was new. The science, although deep and muddy at times, thrilled me. What Liu does with a proton is so imaginative and felt like classic sci-fi. I write a bit more about it in a recent post. Like 4.

-2,478,875,777,443,495,000	Refine Your Search Topic Author Search Results Technical Paper Virtual Cylinder Pressure Sensor (VCPS) with Individual Variable-Oriented Independent Estimators 2005-04-11 2005-01-0059 Tremendous amount of useful information can be extracted from the cylinder pressure signal for engine combustion control. However, the physical cylinder pressure sensors are undesirably expensive and their health need to be monitored for fault diagnostic purpose as well. This paper presents the results of the development of a virtual cylinder pressure sensor (VCPS) with individual variable-oriented independent estimators. Two neural network-based independent cylinder pressure related variable estimators were developed and verified at steady state. The results show that these models can predict the variables correctly compared with the extracted variables from the measured physical cylinder pressure sensor signal. Good generalization capabilities of the developed models are observed in the sense that the models work well not only for the training data set but also for the new inputs that they have never been exposed to before. Technical Paper Utilizing Multiple Combustion Modes to Increase Efficiency and Achieve Full Load Dual-Fuel Operation in a Heavy-Duty Engine 2019-04-02 2019-01-1157 Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) natural gas/diesel dual-fuel combustion has been shown to achieve high thermal efficiency with low NOX and PM emissions, but has traditionally been limited to low to medium loads. High BMEP operation typically requires high substitution rates (i.e., >90% NG), which can lead to high cylinder pressure, pressure rise rates, knock, and combustion loss. In previous studies, compression ratio was decreased to achieve higher load operation, but thermal efficiency was sacrificed. For this study, a multi-cylinder heavy-duty engine that has been modified for dual-fuel operation (diesel direct-injection and natural gas (NG) fumigated into the intake stream) was used to explore RCCI and other dual-fuel combustion modes at high compression ratio, while maintaining stock lug curve capability (i.e., extending dual-fuel operation to high loads where conventional diesel combustion traditionally had to be used). Technical Paper Three-Way Catalyst Technology for Off-Road Equipment Engines 1999-09-28 1999-01-3283 A project was conducted by Southwest Research Institute on behalf of the California Air Resources Board and the South Coast Air Quality Management District to demonstrate the technical feasibility of utilizing closed-loop three-way catalyst technology in off-road equipment applications. Five representative engines were selected, and baseline emission-tested using both gasoline and LPG. Emission reduction systems, employing three-way catalyst technology with electronic fuel control, were designed and installed on two of the engines. The engines were then installed in a fork lift and a pump system, and limited durability testing was performed. Results showed that low emission levels, easily meeting CARB's newly adopted large spark-ignited engine emission standards, could be achieved. Technical Paper The Winch-Dozer - A Tool for Area Mine Spoil Leveling 1977-02-01 770550 A new approach to reclaiming the spoil areas produced by area-type mining operations has been developed. This system uses a machine known as a winch-dozer, consisting of a pair of large back-to-back buckets which are drawn by cable across spoil piles, moving back and forth between a “tailblock” anchor and a “drawworks” winch unit developed as an attachment to a large crawler tractor. The system is expected to reduce the cost of reclamation leveling by 40-50%. The system permits more effective power utilization due to the blade system's light weight, induces caving of spoil banks, and permits moving spoil in both directions of blade travel. Technical Paper The Texas Diesel Fuels Project, Part 1: Development of TxDOT-Specific Test Cycles with Emphasis on a “Route” Technique for Comparing Fuel/Water Emulsions and Conventional Diesel Fuels 2004-03-08 2004-01-0090 The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began using an emulsified diesel fuel in July 2002. They initiated a simultaneous study of the effectiveness of this fuel in comparison to 2D on-road diesel fuel, which they use in both their on-road and off-road equipment. The study also incorporated analyses for the fleet operated by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) in the Houston area. Some members of AGC use 2D off-road diesel fuel in their equipment. The study included comparisons of fuel economy and emissions for the emulsified fuel relative to the conventional diesel fuels. Cycles that are known to be representative of the typical operations for TxDOT and AGC equipment were required for use in this study. Four test cycles were developed from data logged on equipment during normal service: 1) the TxDOT Telescoping Boom Excavator Cycle, 2) the AGC Wheeled Loader Cycle, 3) the TxDOT Single-Axle Dump Truck Cycle, and 4) the TxDOT Tandem-Axle Dump Truck Cycle. Technical Paper The Stratified Charge Glowplug Ignition (SCGI) Engine with Natural Gas Fuel 1991-09-01 911767 The objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of operating a natural gas two-stroke engine using glow plug ignition with very lean mixtures. Based on the results obtained, the term SCGI (stratified charge glow plug ignition) was coined to describe the engine. An JLO two-stroke diesel engine was converted first to a natural gas fueled spark-ignited engine for the baseline tests, and then to an SCGI engine. The SCGI engine used a gas operated valve in the cylinder head to admit the natural gas fuel, and a glow plug was used as a means to initiate the combustion. The engine was successfully run, but was found to be sensitive to various conditions such as the glow plug temperature. The engine would run very lean, to an overall equivalence ratio of 0.33, offering the potential of good fuel economy and low NOx emissions. Journal Article The Interaction between Fuel Anti-Knock Index and Reformation Ratio in an Engine Equipped with Dedicated EGR 2016-04-05 2016-01-0712 Experiments were performed on a small displacement (< 2 L), high compression ratio, 4 cylinder, port injected gasoline engine equipped with Dedicated EGR® (D-EGR®) technology using fuels with varying anti-knock properties. Gasolines with anti-knock indices of 84, 89 and 93 anti-knock index (AKI) were tested. The engine was operated at a constant nominal EGR rate of ∼25% while varying the reformation ratio in the dedicated cylinder from a ϕD-EGR = 1.0 - 1.4. Testing was conducted at selected engine speeds and constant torque while operating at knock limited spark advance on the three fuels. The change in combustion phasing as a function of the level of overfuelling in the dedicated cylinder was documented for all three fuels to determine the tradeoff between the reformation ratio required to achieve a certain knock resistance and the fuel octane rating. Technical Paper The Impact of Engine Operating Conditions on Reformate Production in a D-EGR Engine 2017-03-28 2017-01-0684 Dedicated EGR has shown promise for achieving high efficiency with low emissions [1]. For the present study, a 4-cylinder turbocharged GDI engine which was modified to a D-EGR configuration was used to investigate the impact of valve phasing and different injection strategies on the reformate production in the dedicated cylinder. Various levels of positive valve overlap were used in conjunction with different approaches for dedicated cylinder over fueling using PFI and DI fuel systems. Three speed-load combinations were studied, 2000 rpm 4 bar IMEPg, 2000 rpm 12 bar IMEPg, and 4000 rpm 12 bar IMEPg. The primary investigation was conducted to map out the dedicated cylinders' performance at the operating limits of intake and exhaust cam phasing. In this case, the limits were defined as conditions that yielded either no reformate benefit or led to instability in the dedicated cylinder. Journal Article The Impact of Cooled EGR on Peak Cylinder Pressure in a Turbocharged, Spark Ignited Engine 2015-04-14 2015-01-0744 The use of cooled EGR as a knock suppression tool is gaining more acceptance worldwide. As cooled EGR become more prevalent, some challenges are presented for engine designers. In this study, the impact of cooled EGR on peak cylinder pressure was evaluated. A 1.6 L, 4-cylinder engine was operated with and without cooled EGR at several operating conditions. The impact of adding cooled EGR to the engine on peak cylinder pressure was then evaluated with an attempt to separate the effect due to advanced combustion phasing from the effect of increased manifold pressure. The results show that cooled EGR's impact on peak cylinder pressure is primarily due to the knock suppression effect, with the result that an EGR rate of 25% leads to an almost 50% increase in peak cylinder pressure at a mid-load condition if the combustion phasing is advanced to Knock Limited Spark Advance (KLSA). When combustion phasing was held constant, increasing the EGR rate had almost no effect on PCP. Journal Article The Effects of Piston Crevices and Injection Strategy on Low-Speed Pre-Ignition in Boosted SI Engines 2012-04-16 2012-01-1148 The spark ignition (SI) engine has been known to exhibit several different abnormal combustion phenomena, such as knock or pre-ignition, which have been addressed with improved engine design or control schemes. However, in highly boosted SI engines, Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI), a pre-ignition event typically followed by heavy knock, has developed into a topic of major interest due to its potential for engine damage. Previous experiments associated increases in hydrocarbon emissions with the blowdown event of an LSPI cycle [1]. Also, the same experiments showed that there was a dependency of the LSPI activity on fuel and/or lubricant compositions [1]. Based on these findings it was hypothesized that accumulated hydrocarbons play a role in LSPI and are consumed during LSPI events. A potential source for accumulated HC is the top land piston crevice. Technical Paper The Effect of In-Cylinder Wall Wetting Location on the HC Emissions from SI Engines 1999-03-01 1999-01-0502 The effect of combustion chamber wall-wetting on the emissions of unburned and partially-burned hydrocarbons (HCs) from gasoline-fueled SI engines was investigated experimentally. A spark-plug mounted directional injection probe was developed to study the fate of liquid fuel which impinges on different surfaces of the combustion chamber, and to quantify its contribution to the HC emissions from direct-injected (DI) and port-fuel injected (PFI) engines. With this probe, a controlled amount of liquid fuel was deposited on a given location within the combustion chamber at a desired crank angle while the engine was operated on pre-mixed LPG. Thus, with this technique, the HC emissions due to in-cylinder wall wetting were studied independently of all other HC sources. Results from these tests show that the location where liquid fuel impinges on the combustion chamber has a very important effect on the resulting HC emissions. Technical Paper Synthetic Fuel Operation in a Heavy Duty Diesel Engine 1986-10-01 861538 A heavy duty (150 kW) diesel engine was tested to determine operational problems while running on minimally processed synthetic fuels. A reference No. 2 diesel fuel was compared with liquid products derived from shale, tar sands, and coal. Information on the engine setup and test procedure is presented. The test results include engine power, thermal efficiency, ignition delay, gaseous and particulate emissions, smoke opacity, cylinder pressure, and heat release data. Cold start data at 0°C and −20° C and idle deposit test results are also presented. These data should help to determine future engine modifications to enhance synfuel engine performance. Technical Paper Spectrometric Analysis of Used Oils 1969-02-01 690776 This paper discusses the techniques and diagnostic significance of atomic absorption, atomic emission, and infrared spectrometric analysis of crankcase lubricants, with the use of supplementary data where pertinent. The parameters affecting used oil analytical data are discussed in terms of examples from Army general purpose vehicle test engines. Wear metals in used gear oils are also discussed and examples are given. Analytical methods and their applications are fully described, and the equipment and procedures for infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography techniques are outlined. Technical Paper Simultaneous Application of Optical Spark Plug Probe and Head Gasket Ionization Probe to a Production Engine 1993-03-01 930464 The optical spark plug probe and ionization head gasket probe developed at Sandia Laboratories were applied to one cylinder of a production multicylinder automotive gasoline engine. The purpose of this application is to eventually study combustion phenomena leading to high emissions under cold start and cold idle conditions. As a first step in studying cold start combustion and emissions issues, diagnostic instrumentation was simultaneously applied to a production engine under steady state idle, road load and an intermediate load-speed condition. The preliminary application of such instrumentation is the subject of the present paper. The spark plug probe was redesigned for ease of use in production engines and to provide a more robust design. The two probes were geometrically oriented to obtain radial line-up between the optical windows and ionization probes. Data were taken simultaneously with both probes at the three load-speed conditions mentioned above. Journal Article Scuderi Split Cycle Research Engine: Overview, Architecture and Operation 2011-04-12 2011-01-0403 The Scuderi engine is a split cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This configuration provides potential benefits to the combustion process, as well as presenting some challenges. It also creates the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper reviews the first Scuderi split cycle research engine, giving an overview of its architecture and operation. It describes how the splitting of gas compression and combustion into two separate cylinders has been simulated and how the results were used to drive the engine architecture together with the design of the main engine systems for air handling, fuel injection, mixing and ignition. A prototype engine was designed, manufactured, and installed in a test cell. The engine was heavily instrumented and initial performance results are presented. Journal Article Scuderi Split Cycle Fast Acting Valvetrain: Architecture and Development 2011-04-12 2011-01-0404 The Scuderi internal combustion engine is characterized by a split cycle that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This split cycle also has an additional high pressure “crossover” gas transfer phase versus the conventional 4-stroke cycle, during which the charge air is moved from the first to the second cylinder. The intake/compression, power/exhaust and crossover events are repeated every revolution, i.e. over two cycles, with a small phase angle between the two cylinders. The separate cylinders enable opportunities for improved combustion and the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper describes the technical challenges posed by the actuation of the crossover valves in the Scuderi Split Cycle research engine. Technical Paper Scuderi Split Cycle Engine: Air Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Simulation Study 2012-04-16 2012-01-1013 The Scuderi engine is a split cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This configuration provides potential benefits to the combustion process, as well as presenting some challenges; it also creates the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper presents the methodology and results of a comprehensive study to investigate the benefits of air hybrid operation with the Scuderi Split Cycle (SSC) engine. Four air hybrid operating modes are made possible by the Split Cycle configuration, namely air compressor, air expander, air expander & firing and firing & charging. The predicted operating requirements for each individual operating mode are established. The air and fuel flow of the individual modes are fully mapped throughout the engine operating speed and load range and air tank pressure operating range. Technical Paper Review of the Computer Science and Engineering Solutions for Model Sharing and Model Co-Simulation 2019-03-19 2019-01-1352 The process of developing, parameterizing, validating, and maintaining models occurs within a wide variety of tools, and requires significant time and resources. To maximize model utilization, models are often shared between various toolsets and experts. One common example is sharing aircraft engine models with airframers. The functionality of a given model may be utilized and shared with a secondary model, or multiple models may run collaboratively through co-simulation. There are many technical challenges associated with model sharing and co-simulation. For example, data communication between models and tools must be accurate and reliable, and the model usage must be well-documented and perspicuous for a user. This requires clear communication and understanding between computer scientists and engineers. Most often, models are developed by engineers, whereas the tools used to share the models are developed by computer scientists. Technical Paper Real-Time Steady-State Oil Consumption Measurement on Commercial SI-Engine 1999-10-25 1999-01-3461 The oil consumption has been measured in real-time for steady-state operating conditions for an approximately 2 L SI-engine. These oil consumption measurements have been obtained for the engine stack (total) as well as for the individual engine cylinders with the current generation of Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed SO2 analyzers. The 10 steady-state data presented in this paper is only a small fraction of the 234 steady-state data taken as part of this project. This paper is important since few complete data sets have been published in this area of research and since it illustrates the technical superiority of this analyzing tool for engine development purposes. Journal Article Potential and Challenges for a Water-Gas-Shift Catalyst as a Combustion Promoter on a D-EGR® Engine 2015-04-14 2015-01-0784 In light of the increasingly stringent efficiency and emissions requirements, several new engine technologies are currently under investigation. One of these new concepts is the Dedicated EGR (D-EGR®) engine. The concept utilizes fuel reforming and high levels of recirculated exhaust gas (EGR) to achieve very high levels of thermal efficiency. While the positive impact of reformate, in particular hydrogen, on gasoline engine performance has been widely documented, the on-board reforming process and / or storage of H2 remains challenging. The Water-Gas-Shift (WGS) reaction is well known and has been used successfully for many years in the industry to produce hydrogen from the reactants water vapor and carbon monoxide. For this study, prototype WGS catalysts were installed in the exhaust tract of the dedicated cylinder of a turbocharged 2.0 L in-line four cylinder MPI engine. The potential of increased H2 production in a D-EGR engine was evaluated through the use of these catalysts.

The system is expected to reduce the cost of reclamation leveling by 40-50%. The system permits more effective power utilization due to the blade system’s light weight, induces caving of spoil banks, and permits moving spoil in both directions of blade travel. --- ## The Texas Diesel Fuels Project, Part 1: Development of TxDOT-Specific Test Cycles with Emphasis on a “Route” Technique for Comparing Fuel/Water Emulsions and Conventional Diesel Fuels Type: Technical Paper Date: 2004-03-08 Paper No.: 2004-01-0090 The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began using an emulsified diesel fuel in July 2002. They initiated a simultaneous study of the effectiveness of this fuel in comparison to 2D on-road diesel fuel, which they use in both their on-road and off-road equipment. The study also incorporated analyses for the fleet operated by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) in the Houston area. Some members of AGC use 2D off-road diesel fuel in their equipment. The study included comparisons of fuel economy and emissions for the emulsified fuel relative to the conventional diesel fuels. Cycles that are known to be representative of the typical operations for TxDOT and AGC equipment were required for use in this study. Four test cycles were developed from data logged on equipment during normal service: 1) the TxDOT Telescoping Boom Excavator Cycle 2) the AGC Wheeled Loader Cycle 3) the TxDOT Single-Axle Dump Truck Cycle 4) the TxDOT Tandem-Axle Dump Truck Cycle --- ## The Stratified Charge Glowplug Ignition (SCGI) Engine with Natural Gas Fuel Type: Technical Paper Date: 1991-09-01 Paper No.: 911767 The objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of operating a natural gas two-stroke engine using glow plug ignition with very lean mixtures. Based on the results obtained, the term SCGI (stratified charge glow plug ignition) was coined to describe the engine. An JLO two-stroke diesel engine was converted first to a natural gas fueled spark-ignited engine for the baseline tests, and then to an SCGI engine. The SCGI engine used a gas operated valve in the cylinder head to admit the natural gas fuel, and a glow plug was used as a means to initiate the combustion. The engine was successfully run, but was found to be sensitive to various conditions such as the glow plug temperature. The engine would run very lean, to an overall equivalence ratio of 0.33, offering the potential of good fuel economy and low NOx emissions. --- ## The Interaction between Fuel Anti-Knock Index and Reformation Ratio in an Engine Equipped with Dedicated EGR Type: Journal Article Date: 2016-04-05 Paper No.: 2016-01-0712 Experiments were performed on a small displacement (< 2 L), high compression ratio, 4 cylinder, port injected gasoline engine equipped with Dedicated EGR® (D-EGR®) technology using fuels with varying anti-knock properties. Gasolines with anti-knock indices of 84, 89 and 93 anti-knock index (AKI) were tested. The engine was operated at a constant nominal EGR rate of ∼ 25% while varying the reformation ratio in the dedicated cylinder from a ϕD-EGR = 1.0 – 1.4. Testing was conducted at selected engine speeds and constant torque while operating at knock limited spark advance on the three fuels. The change in combustion phasing as a function of the level of overfuelling in the dedicated cylinder was documented for all three fuels to determine the tradeoff between the reformation ratio required to achieve a certain knock resistance and the fuel octane rating. --- ## The Impact of Engine Operating Conditions on Reformate Production in a D-EGR Engine Type: Technical Paper Date: 2017-03-28 Paper No.: 2017-01-0684 Dedicated EGR has shown promise for achieving high efficiency with low emissions. For the present study, a 4-cylinder turbocharged GDI engine which was modified to a D-EGR configuration was used to investigate the impact of valve phasing and different injection strategies on the reformate production in the dedicated cylinder. Various levels of positive valve overlap were used in conjunction with different approaches for dedicated cylinder over fueling using PFI and DI fuel systems. Three speed-load combinations were studied: - 2000 rpm 4 bar IMEPg - 2000 rpm 12 bar IMEPg - 4000 rpm 12 bar IMEPg The primary investigation was conducted to map out the dedicated cylinder’s performance at the operating limits of intake and exhaust cam phasing. In this case, the limits were defined as conditions that yielded either no reformate benefit or led to instability in the dedicated cylinder. --- ## The Impact of Cooled EGR on Peak Cylinder Pressure in a Turbocharged, Spark Ignited Engine Type: Journal Article Date: 2015-04-14 Paper No.: 2015-01-0744 The use of cooled EGR as a knock suppression tool is gaining more acceptance worldwide. As cooled EGR become more prevalent, some challenges are presented for engine designers. In this study, the impact of cooled EGR on peak cylinder pressure was evaluated. A 1.6 L, 4-cylinder engine was operated with and without cooled EGR at several operating conditions. The impact of adding cooled EGR to the engine on peak cylinder pressure was then evaluated with an attempt to separate the effect due to advanced combustion phasing from the effect of increased manifold pressure. The results show that cooled EGR’s impact on peak cylinder pressure is primarily due to the knock suppression effect, with the result that an EGR rate of 25% leads to an almost 50% increase in peak cylinder pressure at a mid-load condition if the combustion phasing is advanced to Knock Limited Spark Advance (KLSA). When combustion phasing was held constant, increasing the EGR rate had almost no effect on PCP. --- ## The Effects of Piston Crevices and Injection Strategy on Low-Speed Pre-Ignition in Boosted SI Engines Type: Journal Article Date: 2012-04-16 Paper No.: 2012-01-1148 The spark ignition (SI) engine has been known to exhibit several different abnormal combustion phenomena, such as knock or pre-ignition, which have been addressed with improved engine design or control schemes. However, in highly boosted SI engines, Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI), a pre-ignition event typically followed by heavy knock, has developed into a topic of major interest due to its potential for engine damage. Previous experiments associated increases in hydrocarbon emissions with the blowdown event of an LSPI cycle. Also, the same experiments showed that there was a dependency of the LSPI activity on fuel and/or lubricant compositions. Based on these findings it was hypothesized that accumulated hydrocarbons play a role in LSPI and are consumed during LSPI events. A potential source for accumulated HC is the top land piston crevice. --- ## The Effect of In-Cylinder Wall Wetting Location on the HC Emissions from SI Engines Type: Technical Paper Date: 1999-03-01 Paper No.: 1999-01-0502 The effect of combustion chamber wall-wetting on the emissions of unburned and partially-burned hydrocarbons (HCs) from gasoline-fueled SI engines was investigated experimentally. A spark-plug mounted directional injection probe was developed to study the fate of liquid fuel which impinges on different surfaces of the combustion chamber, and to quantify its contribution to the HC emissions from direct-injected (DI) and port-fuel injected (PFI) engines. With this probe, a controlled amount of liquid fuel was deposited on a given location within the combustion chamber at a desired crank angle while the engine was operated on pre-mixed LPG. Thus, with this technique, the HC emissions due to in-cylinder wall wetting were studied independently of all other HC sources. Results from these tests show that the location where liquid fuel impinges on the combustion chamber has a very important effect on the resulting HC emissions. --- ## Synthetic Fuel Operation in a Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Type: Technical Paper Date: 1986-10-01 Paper No.: 861538 A heavy duty (150 kW) diesel engine was tested to determine operational problems while running on minimally processed synthetic fuels. A reference No. 2 diesel fuel was compared with liquid products derived from shale, tar sands, and coal. Information on the engine setup and test procedure is presented. The test results include engine power, thermal efficiency, ignition delay, gaseous and particulate emissions, smoke opacity, cylinder pressure, and heat release data. Cold start data at 0 °C and −20 °C and idle deposit test results are also presented. These data should help to determine future engine modifications to enhance synfuel engine performance. --- ## Spectrometric Analysis of Used Oils Type: Technical Paper Date: 1969-02-01 Paper No.: 690776 This paper discusses the techniques and diagnostic significance of atomic absorption, atomic emission, and infrared spectrometric analysis of crankcase lubricants, with the use of supplementary data where pertinent. The parameters affecting used oil analytical data are discussed in terms of examples from Army general purpose vehicle test engines. Wear metals in used gear oils are also discussed and examples are given. Analytical methods and their applications are fully described, and the equipment and procedures for infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography techniques are outlined. --- ## Simultaneous Application of Optical Spark Plug Probe and Head Gasket Ionization Probe to a Production Engine Type: Technical Paper Date: 1993-03-01 Paper No.: 930464 The optical spark plug probe and ionization head gasket probe developed at Sandia Laboratories were applied to one cylinder of a production multicylinder automotive gasoline engine. The purpose of this application is to eventually study combustion phenomena leading to high emissions under cold start and cold idle conditions. As a first step in studying cold start combustion and emissions issues, diagnostic instrumentation was simultaneously applied to a production engine under steady state idle, road load and an intermediate load-speed condition. The preliminary application of such instrumentation is the subject of the present paper. The spark plug probe was redesigned for ease of use in production engines and to provide a more robust design. The two probes were geometrically oriented to obtain radial line-up between the optical windows and ionization probes. Data were taken simultaneously with both probes at the three load-speed conditions mentioned above. --- ## Scuderi Split Cycle Research Engine: Overview, Architecture and Operation Type: Journal Article Date: 2011-04-12 Paper No.: 2011-01-0403 The Scuderi engine is a split cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This configuration provides potential benefits to the combustion process, as well as presenting some challenges. It also creates the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper reviews the first Scuderi split cycle research engine, giving an overview of its architecture and operation. It describes how the splitting of gas compression and combustion into two separate cylinders has been simulated and how the results were used to drive the engine architecture together with the design of the main engine systems for air handling, fuel injection, mixing and ignition. A prototype engine was designed, manufactured, and installed in a test cell. The engine was heavily instrumented and initial performance results are presented. --- ## Scuderi Split Cycle Fast Acting Valvetrain: Architecture and Development Type: Journal Article Date: 2011-04-12 Paper No.: 2011-01-0404 The Scuderi internal combustion engine is characterized by a split cycle that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This split cycle also has an additional high pressure “crossover” gas transfer phase versus the conventional 4-stroke cycle, during which the charge air is moved from the first to the second cylinder. The intake/compression, power/exhaust and crossover events are repeated every revolution, i.e. over two cycles, with a small phase angle between the two cylinders. The separate cylinders enable opportunities for improved combustion and the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper describes the technical challenges posed by the actuation of the crossover valves in the Scuderi Split Cycle research engine. --- ## Scuderi Split Cycle Engine: Air Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Simulation Study Type: Technical Paper Date: 2012-04-16 Paper No.: 2012-01-1013 The Scuderi engine is a split cycle design that divides the four strokes of a conventional combustion cycle over two paired cylinders, one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder, connected by a crossover port. This configuration provides potential benefits to the combustion process, as well as presenting some challenges; it also creates the possibility for pneumatic hybridization of the engine. This paper presents the methodology and results of a comprehensive study to investigate the benefits of air hybrid operation with the Scuderi Split Cycle (SSC) engine. Four air hybrid operating modes are made possible by the Split Cycle configuration, namely air compressor, air expander, air expander & firing and firing & charging. The predicted operating requirements for each individual operating mode are established. The air and fuel flow of the individual modes are fully mapped throughout the engine operating speed and load range and air tank pressure operating range. --- ## Review of the Computer Science and Engineering Solutions for Model Sharing and Model Co-Simulation Type: Technical Paper Date: 2019-03-19 Paper No.: 2019-01-1352 The process of developing, parameterizing, validating, and maintaining models occurs within a wide variety of tools, and requires significant time and resources. To maximize model utilization, models are often shared between various toolsets and experts. One common example is sharing aircraft engine models with airframers. The functionality of a given model may be utilized and shared with a secondary model, or multiple models may run collaboratively through co-simulation. There are many technical challenges associated with model sharing and co-simulation. For example, data communication between models and tools must be accurate and reliable, and the model usage must be well-documented and perspicuous for a user. This requires clear communication and understanding between computer scientists and engineers. Most often, models are developed by engineers, whereas the tools used to share the models are developed by computer scientists. --- ## Real-Time Steady-State Oil Consumption Measurement on Commercial SI-Engine Type: Technical Paper Date: 1999-10-25 Paper No.: 1999-01-3461 The oil consumption has been measured in real-time for steady-state operating conditions for an approximately 2 L SI-engine. These oil consumption measurements have been obtained for the engine stack (total) as well as for the individual engine cylinders with the current generation of Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed SO₂ analyzers. The 10 steady-state data presented in this paper is only a small fraction of the 234 steady-state data taken as part of this project. This paper is important since few complete data sets have been published in this area of research and since it illustrates the technical superiority of this analyzing tool for engine development purposes. --- ## Potential and Challenges for a Water-Gas-Shift Catalyst as a Combustion Promoter on a D-EGR® Engine Type: Journal Article Date: 2015-04-14 Paper No.: 2015-01-0784 In light of the increasingly stringent efficiency and emissions requirements, several new engine technologies are currently under investigation. One of these new concepts is the Dedicated EGR (D-EGR®) engine. The concept utilizes fuel reforming and high levels of recirculated exhaust gas (EGR) to achieve very high levels of thermal efficiency. While the positive impact of reformate, in particular hydrogen, on gasoline engine performance has been widely documented, the on-board reforming process and/or storage of H₂ remains challenging. The Water-Gas-Shift (WGS) reaction is well known and has been used successfully for many years in the industry to produce hydrogen from the reactants water vapor and carbon monoxide. For this study, prototype WGS catalysts were installed in the exhaust tract of the dedicated cylinder of a turbocharged 2.0 L in-line four cylinder MPI engine. The potential of increased H₂ production in a D-EGR engine was evaluated through the use of these catalysts.	4,025	4,305	-2,478,875,777,443,495,000	base	[ "base" ]	true	null

7,997,738,459,475,205,000	CMS Proposes PCS Rule Changes Webinar Recording and Handouts Rating: Price: $129.00 CMS Proposes PCS Rule Changes – What it Means for the Industry and What You Can Do Today A PWW Media Webinar Recording The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) just released a Proposed Rule that could spell significant changes to Medicare’s Physician Certification Statement (PCS) rules. If the proposed revisions are adopted, they would drastically impact the current PCS rules and require ambulance services nationwide to update their existing PCS forms. CMS is soliciting comments on the Proposed Rule. In order to best represent the industry, PWW Media hosted a special Webinar to discuss what the proposed PCS rules would mean for the industry and to solicit your questions and comments about the Rule. The attorneys and consultants of PWW will use Webinar attendee feedback when they comment to CMS on the Proposed Rule by the deadline of September 27, 2019. What You’ll Learn: • Why CMS is proposing these changes now • Why CMS is adding the “Non-Physician Certification Statement” to the regulations • Why PCS forms should be renamed • The changes you’ll need to make to your PCS forms • The timeline for updating your PCS forms • Who the new proposed PCS signers are and how to verify their credentials • Why the list of proposed PCS signers could be even broader than the what’s in Proposed Rule • The minimum requirements for PCS forms • Essential staff training on the proposed PCS rules • What the removal of the term “physician’s order” from the rules might mean for appeals • Why some agencies are using a “streamlined” PCS form and our recommendations Special preview: Attendees will also get an exclusive preview of what PWW’s new PCS form would look like under the proposed rules. Here is your opportunity to learn now about the big changes and to offer your input while CMS is still debating the rules. This webinar is approved for 1.5 hours of CEU credit for CAC and CACO. Webinar Policies: 1) Webinar must be paid in full prior to the event. Links to login to the webinar platform and access to the handouts will ONLY be sent to paid registrants. 2) Each webinar registration is good for one login per email address.
