APPEARS IN News Guns & Gear Ammo
Top 5 Wildcat Cartridges
by Philip Massaro - Monday, August 3, 2015
As a gun writer, quantifying things can be a dangerous proposition, one that can get you into trouble. Making lists of things, a la David Letterman, suggests superiority, or inferiority, and sometimes that just isn't the case. This piece is one of those compilations, in which we will discuss wildcat cartridges, and in which I really can't say that the chosen cartridges will be the "Top Five," as ranked by success, or by usefulness. Rather, I'd like to call this piece "Five Wildcats I Think Are Cool," and leave it as an impetus to promote discussion on wildcat cartridges. SAAMI recognition takes any former wildcat off the table, like the ultra-popular .280 Remington Ackley Improved, but here's a list of those I consider cool.
.35 Whelen Ackley Improved
P.O. Ackley had it together, there's no refuting that fact, as did Col. Whelen. Mix the two and you have a recipe for success. I've spent some time behind the trigger of a .35 Whelen AI and it makes a ton of sense. The 40° shoulder gives enough additional case capacity to bump up velocities 100 fps over the traditional Whelen design, putting 250-grain bullets into the 2,400 to 2,500 fps category. It's easy to load for, and as an added bonus, you can shoot regular .35 Whelen ammo from the AI chamber in a pinch, with accuracy good enough for hunting.
.220 Swift Ackley Improved
Another of Ackley's designs, featuring the 40° shoulder, and a bump in velocity over the screaming Swift offering. Hey, if you're going to push a .22-caliber bullet, you might as well go for it all. The velocity increase over the standard .220 Swift is 100-150 fps, but I'd highly recommend that you avoid re-chambering your existing barrel, as the Swift barrel usually runs a 1:12" or 1:14" twist rate. Instead, opt for the 1:9" or 1:8", so you can take full advantage of the heavy-for-caliber bullets available today, and push them to near light-speed.
.375 W&S Magnum
On a recent safari, Professional Hunter Danie Wingard introduced me to his personal rifle, a .375 W&S Magnum. Named after Wingard & Swanepoel (the gunsmith), this wildcat was designed around the 350-grain .375" bullet, driving it to 2,450 fps. The case is a .375 H&H-style belted magnum, formed from .458 Basic brass, using the 25° shoulder angle of the .300 Winchester Magnum, in a case measuring 2.680" long, with a C.O.L. of 3.46". Shooting this rifle, I immediately noticed that the recoil was more of the classic cartridge "push", and less of the "slap" associated with overbore magnums. For a hunter who enjoys the .375" bore, but abhors the Weatherby type recoil, this cartridge makes a whole bunch of sense.
.358 UMT
My buddy Bryce Towsley saw the opportunity to beef up the performance of the .35 calibers, by mating the Remington Ultra Magnum case with a .358" bullet, to create the .358 Ultra Mag Towsley. This is a cartridge that will give true magnum performance, driving the 250-grain bullets at a muzzle velocity in excess of 3,000 fps, for over 5,000 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle. Not for the faint of heart! But, if you are a .35 caliber fan, and want to have a flat-shooting rifle for moose, elk, bears and the largest African antelope, this just may be your baby. Depending on the bullet, powder charges range from 95 to 100 grains, having similar capacity to the .300 RUM, and a trajectory flatter than the .300 Win. Mag. with 180-grain bullets. Mr. Towsley, you've got a winner here.
.416 Hoffman
When supplies of .416 Rigby ammo were drying up, due to the demise of Kynoch, many hunters still wanted to use the fantastic .416" bullets, and there were several innovative wildcat designs that kept the bore diameter alive. Many people know about the .416 Remington, which came out in 1988, and has been accepted as a solid performer in the game fields, but the Remington design wasn't the first. It was an American Professional Hunter in Africa, named George Hoffman, who mated the .375 H&H case with .416" diameter bullets to create the .416 Hoffman. It would produce the same ballistics as the .416 Rigby – a 400-grain bullet at 2,400 fps at the muzzle – but with much less powder, a shorter action and readily available component brass from the .375 H&H. The tradeoff was that it ran at a higher pressure than the huge-cased .416 Rigby, but it still worked very well. Although Remington states that their design is based on the 8mm Remington Magnum case, the designs are so similar that the Hoffman chamber can use .416 Remington ammunition, but not vice versa. Being a huge fan of the .416 Rem. Mag., I'm grateful to Mr. Hoffman for his wildcat, and if you're looking for something a bit different, talk to your gunsmith about the Hoffman case.

#SundayGunday: Bergara Premier Ridgeback Rifle


Answer this multiple choice question: What is the worst problem with M-STEP, the Common Core-aligned standardized assessment taken by tens of thousands of Michigan students in grades 3-8 and 11 each spring?
The testing time for students drags on torturously for hours at a time over too many days.
The weeks-long testing ties up technology that could be used for education purposes.
The test holds no meaning or value for students, who have no accountability for their performance and will never check answers or see results beyond a number score.
Even adults can't figure out the correct answers to many questions.
A standardized test does not accurately measure creativity, problem solving, analytical skills, or much of anything that parents, educators, and societies value in human beings.
Teachers get little to no useful data back from the test; instead, the scores are used to bludgeon educators and public education as failures.
Short-sighted administrators force teachers and children to undertake mind-numbing test prep in a futile attempt to raise test scores that results in students hating school.
The test measures poverty really well – less so the wonder of teaching and learning.
Now, please choose your answer… Excuse me? I can't hear when everyone shouts…Thank you for raising your hand, Charlie… Yes, choose ONE answer… Question, Billy?… Mm hm. I know it's hard to pick, but life is hard, right? So this is preparing you for life. Just do your best.
Yes, Sally? … You're correct; the question IS confusing, but it's asking what is the WORST problem, not the biggest…Well, I agree "worst" can mean different things to different people, but so can "biggest." Ha ha. Am I right? Yeah, I got you there. So why don't you figure out what you think the test writers want you to answer, and go with that?… You're welcome.
Is everyone about fin—OK, I'm waiting, Janie. But really, my dear, follow your gut. It usually won't lead you astray. You can overthink, you know. This answer actually is quite clear.
The answer is D: Even adults can't figure out the correct answers to many questions.
Because the fact is if you ask a bunch of educated adults to take a fifth-grade Language Arts M-STEP practice test with no answer key, you're bound to see a fight over who is right on many questions, and that's pretty crazy if you stop and think. I know, because I did it and saw it.
I asked several of my MEA colleagues to sit in a room, tackle some reading passages and multiple choice questions individually, and then discuss answers. As a former English and language arts teacher, I had created an answer key myself since it wasn't provided by the state – although I was not certain about all of my answer choices.
The results were illuminating to my participants – a secretary, MEA's director of Public Affairs, one of our lobbyists, and a communications specialist. On the other hand, I was not surprised at all. Teachers know these tests are poorly written and subjective.
The structure and organization of some reading passages would not pass muster in a high school composition class. Questions are often either ambiguous, narrowly focused on unimportant details, or difficult to comprehend. Answers can be open to interpretation.
I found grammatical errors even in the small official test sample I borrowed online, such as this use of an adverb instead of an adjective in an answer option: "James felt badly about his grandmother ignoring his questions." Call me a stickler, but the adverb "badly" modifies the verb "felt," while the adjective "bad" would have described James' inner state. Which is it?
My idea for proctoring the exam sprang from the blood pressure spike I experience every time someone talks in generalities about schools, or public education writ large, based on "scores." The way we bandy about school "rankings" implies acceptance that the tests are a valid and meaningful tool for judging school and student performance on a grand scale.
How better to test that blind acceptance than to challenge successful adults with a fifth-grade assessment?
We started by reading a non-fiction piece written in the style of fiction, first published in 1905, about the inventor of steam locomotives: "James Watt and the Teakettle." Of six questions about the selection, my panel of test takers disagreed on answers to three of them.
The first argument arose over a question about how the first paragraph of the reading selection affected "the plot." The directions said to choose two answers from six choices. We all agreed on one, but three panelists selected three different choices as the second answer.
In one case only four choices were given, and we picked three different answers. Then we explained and argued and maybe even raised our voices – it got animated a couple of times – and no one changed answers, though we could see the legitimacy of each other's reasoning.
Yet bubbling the "correct" response is what educators are increasingly pressured to teach children how to do, with ever bigger stakes attached – including job security. We pay lip service to valuing critical thinking, reasoning, expression, creativity – but our blind adherence to standardized testing belies those ideals.
A society that truly values higher-order skills and attributes does not burden its educational system with high-stakes "accountability" that measures less important aptitudes – the pursuit of which dampens rather than awakens students' curiosity and independence.
I would add to Singer's metaphor: "…on a glitchy TV screen that blinks on and off every few seconds." And I'm just referencing the confusing nature of the test—never mind the technology issues that teachers complain about. It's hard to demonstrate skills in a vacuum.
That confusion caused my panel of fifth-grade test testers to get irritated near the end of my experiment.
We had read a poorly written selection, "New Homes for Hermit Crabs," and we were disagreeing on answers to more than half of the questions. A two-part question was particularly aggravating, because if we couldn't agree on Part A, we were doomed to miss Part B.
Do I pick the "point of view" in the first half of this mish-mash of a paragraph, or do I go with the completely different idea discussed in the second half? Then what do I do in Part B – "Which sentence from the text best supports your answer in part A" –when none or all of the answer choices make sense?
I feel the need to remind you – this is a fifth-grade test. And also to point out – To this day I still am not sure what the "correct" answers are.
I appreciate my MEA colleagues for accepting the Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader challenge. They got to experience a tiny fraction of a sliver of the confusion and frustration youngsters feel taking these boring and pointless tests for hours at a time.
And they helped illustrate some truths that make educators want to scream and rail and bang their heads against walls – and leave the profession.
The standardized testing industry is hauling in huge profits as U.S. taxpayers shell out billions of dollars for poorly designed assessments that hamstring educators and paint a false picture of public education.
We use results from questionable tests to downgrade teachers in their evaluations and threaten communities with the loss of their neighborhood schools. We cut school funding and issue top-down edicts from politicians and tighten the screws on educators to raise scores above all else.
And we hope beyond any reason that good results will come from all this bad.
The answer to this problem is clear and simple – STOP THE TESTING MADNESS. But in our current political landscape, that's not even one of the multiple choice options.
My favorite is the student who designed a Christmas tree out of her answers on her bubble sheet and proudly showed me as I picked up her answer key. It is frustrating for students and a useless waste of time. Glad to be retired and out of the nonsensical rat race education has become. Loved the years that I was allowed to be a teacher!
Why are we bothering to do this for little to no value and a was of time and taxpayers dollars??? Seems stupid to me!
This year the district is adding even more testing to the Lower Elementary years. Kindergarten is required to take computer tests!!! Who could ever think that this is age-level appropriate? And then to be put on a matrix of effectiveness for teachers based upon a test that clearly at all levels of grades, isn't even written correctly? I keep thinking that the pendulum will swing back to age of appropriate activities and learning enviroments for our children but sadly more and more tests come rolling out. It comes down to money, not what should be valued in a young child's life.

Alexander Graham ...
Alexander Graham Bell heard for first time with optical sound recovery
The voice of Alexander Graham Bell has been heard for the first time after the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History recovered the sound from a 130-year-old recording using an optical 3D scanning method.
As part of a collaborative project with the Library of Congress and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a wax-on-binder-board disc that carries the initials 'AGB' and dated 15 April 1885 was submitted to the non-invasive optical sound recovery process. The investigation was undertaken on Library of Congress equipment developed by the Berkeley Lab.
On the recording, Bell says 'in witness whereof, hear my voice, Alexander Graham Bell'.
'Identifying the voice of Alexander Graham Bell, the man who brought us everyone else's voice, is a major moment in the study of history,' said John Gray, director of the museum. 'Not only will this discovery allow us to further identify recordings in our collection, it enriches what we know about the late 1800s – who spoke, what they said, how they said it – and this formative period for experimentation in sound.'
The optical technique used to scan and recover sounds was first conceived by Berkeley Lab in 2002 and jointly developed with assistance from the Library of Congress and other institutions over the past 11 years.
The groove shape of the disc is measured using precision optical metrology methods and digital image processing. A confocal microscope generates a 3D image of the surface of the disc. This is then analysed to emulate the motion of a stylus moving through the disc's grooves, reproducing the audio content and producing a standard digital sound file. The image can also be processed to remove evidence of wear or damage, such as scratches and skips.
In addition to the identification of Bell, the museum has also identified the voice of Alexander Melville Bell, the famous inventor's father. In a recording made September 1881 on a wax-coated drum, the elder Bell declaims: 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in our philosophy. [Trill] I am a graphophone, and my mother was a phonograph.' The younger Bell deposited this recording, and the machine on which it was recorded, at the Smithsonian in 1881 to be used as proof of precedence in case of a patent war. The positive identification of Alexander Melville Bell is corroborated by a 1937 recollection by Charles Sumner Tainter, a member of the Volta Laboratory Associates.

Our heart's desire should be for the same single-mindedness that drew Paul to pursue the higher calling of the Lord.
Throughout the centuries of recorded history, the essential quality shared in common by the diversity of men and women who attained greatness has been single-mindedness. Right or wrong, each had a sense of purpose, each knew the direction in which it lay, and each was willing to pay the price necessary to achieve it.
If anything characterized Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, it was this quality of single-mindedness. For him, Christ was not a component but the whole of his life, and everything he did in word or deed directly or indirectly reflected this ownership. He could summarize both his direction and his destiny in one concise sentence: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21).
"In order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:11). Paul was single-minded in his longing for growth in the experiential knowledge of the person and the power of the resurrected Lord. He realized that through faith in the Son of God he had become a new creature, united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 6:3-11). And yet he eagerly anticipated the time when he would be completely conformed to the likeness of Christ not only in spirit, but also in soul and body. Knowing that he was a pilgrim on earth and a citizen of heaven, he looked forward to the day when he would be given an imperishable resurrected body (1 Corinthians 15:20-58). Paul was not speaking of the resurrection of the dead, but from the dead, that is, the resurrection of the righteous (cf. Luke 20:35). (The word he uses can be translated out-resurrection, and this is its only appearance in the New Testament.) The expression, "in order that I may attain" can also be rendered, "if by any means"; Paul is not doubting his participation in the resurrection of believers, but communicating his determination to continue on in faithfulness toward that end. The only uncertainty was whether he would be on earth or in the presence of the Lord when that event takes place.
He goes on to say in Philippians 3:12, "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus." Paul makes it clear that he has not attained the perfect conformity to the Person of Christ to which all believers have been called, but that he strives to stay in the process. Scripture affirms that no one will achieve sinless perfection in this life. This is in contrast to the legalistic mentality the apostle sought to refute in the earlier portion of Philippians 3. The legalist strives in the efforts of the flesh to attain a human standard of righteousness. Legalism seeks to quantify spirituality into a measurable product. In this way, it produces the complacency of procedures and practices rather than the ever-challenging dynamic of pursuing the Person of Christ.
Paul never allowed himself to be satisfied with the status quo in his walk with God, though he would have been tempted to do so if he put his eyes on people rather than the Lord. Instead, he learned the life-changing secret of not comparing himself with others, but only with Christ.
He knew the course that was set before him—to "lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus." The overwhelming passion of his life was to know and be like Jesus, and to this end he strove in the power of the Holy Spirit, not in the efforts of the flesh. Our heart's desire should be for the same single-mindedness that drew Paul to press on to the higher calling of the Lord.
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied (Matthew 5:6).
and weary land where there is no water (Psalm 63:1).
God; when shall I come and appear before God? (Psalm 42:1-2).

Cables, used in aircraft control systems, comply with a number of British and American Standards and are 'preformed' during manufacture. Preforming is a process in which each strand is formed into the shape that it will take up in the completed cable. This makes the cable more flexible, easier to splice and less prone to kinking. Another advantage of preformed cables is that, in the event of a wire breaking, it will lie flat within its strand, so that the cable should be less likely to jam in its pulleys and fairleads.
Preformed cables are manufactured from either galvanised carbon steel or corrosion-resistant steel and are impregnated with friction-preventive lubricant during manufacture. Non-preformed single strand cable may be found on some minor aircraft systems. Aircraft cables are usually classified by either their minimum breaking load or nominal diameter.
It is very rare for a cable to be manufactured by an operator. They are normally ordered through the aircraft's IPC and the aircraft manufacturer supplies the cable fully formed with the necessary end-fittings and to the correct load factor.

Inside: Pharmacy managers and owners can't afford to ignore this one surprising trick to improve pharmacy management. It'll help improve your pharmacy business right away.
As a pharmacy owner or manager, you have a lot going on.
Between managing employees, counseling patients, dispensing prescriptions, overseeing operations, and making important business decisions—and that's the short list—you're probably wondering how and why you'd add anything else to your task list.
But if you're like the majority of people in the U.S., there's still one thing you're not doing enough.
About a quarter of American adults haven't read a book in whole or in part in the past year. In 2016, the percentage of American adults who read literature was the lowest in three decades, according to the National Endowment for the Arts.
Reading, especially reading about topics outside your industry, may seem like the least worthwhile activity to add to your ever-growing list.
But it's more important than you think. Especially for your leadership, your management, and your business.
Of course, reading about pharmacy and about management can help you manage your business better. But reading books unrelated to pharmacy can do as much good—if not more.
Deep, broad reading will make you better at pharmacy management. Here's why.
For many people, reading a book about an industry or a topic that doesn't directly affect their day-to-day can feel like a waste of time. They have plenty of tasks to do, news to read, and industry changes to keep up with.
But reading books and articles from other industries can uniquely improve your work at your pharmacy.
"For one, there are lessons to be learned from how other industries and professionals handle challenges that impact any business, such as employee relations, customer acquisition, and marketing," said Shakira M. Brown, Business Consultant and CEO of SMB Strategic Media LLC, a boutique brand communications firm. The firm helps small businesses get to the heart of why customers buy their goods and services by helping them clarify their message.
Running a pharmacy business requires skills and knowledge in many areas. Reading books on topics outside the pharmacy industry can provide insight into your business in unique ways.
For example, a book like "Crucial Conversations" can have as much relevance to your pharmacy business as "Good to Great" because you not only need to understand how to grow your business but also how to relate well to people. If you know how to create a flawless business plan but don't know how to have difficult conversations with employees or patients, your business will suffer.
Reading widely can also inspire you. Biographies of great men and women, stories of success, and other narratives can spark thoughts and ideas you wouldn't get from anything else.
Reading provides insight and knowledge.
More general knowledge will help you solve different situations within your pharmacy business. You'll solve a more diverse set of problems and come up with more innovative solutions.
"The more ideas you consider and understand, the broader the ability to contribute to the organization's objectives," said Jon M. Quigley, a principal and founding member of Value Transformation, a product development training and cost improvement organization.
Empathy is an essential characteristic of an effective leader.
And, data shows that empathetic leaders are more likely to earn pay raises and promotions.
No books cultivate empathy quite like fiction. Studies link reading literature to an increased ability to interpret the mental states of others.
When you read literature, you interact with the inner lives of other people. It helps you imagine what it's like being in another person's shoes. This basic practice, the studies show, improves empathy.
And increased empathy leads to improved social skills. In the same study on the effects of reading fiction, participants who read the most fiction scored highest on the measurements of social acumen.
When the World Economic Forum asked CEOs for one book that made them better leaders, the co-founder of successful running apparel brand Janji didn't recommend a business or a leadership book. He recommended a novel.
Talking like Shakespeare probably won't inspire your employees. But a broad vocabulary enables you to find the right word at the right time.
Finding precise words to describe something makes your communication clearer and more effective.
So, reading will sharpen your vocabulary and make you a more adept communicator.
With industry consolidations, PBM tactics, and a changing economy, the pharmacy industry likely feels uncertain today.
In uncertain times, reading can do wonders. One study found that people who read fiction showed an increased tolerance for uncertainty.
They were better at thinking creatively and engaged with more ideas. The others were more likely to need quick closure.
Reading can help your health mentally and physically.
Managing a business can cause a lot of stress. But studies show reading can reduce stress better than most traditional methods of relaxation.
Opening a book for just six minutes can reduce stress by 68 percent, according to one study. Reading slowed the participants' heart rates and eased muscle tension. They reached even lower stress levels than before they started the experiment.
So, next time you're feeling stressed, pick up a book.
Start reading more today and become better at pharmacy management.

Q: How can I stop Android WebView from changing the capitalization of the Headers? So With and Android WebVIew I am adding some Headers to a redirect like so.
webView?.webViewClient = object : WebViewClient() {
    override fun shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view: WebView?, url: String?): Boolean {
        if(!url!!.contains("ourwebsite/redirect/"))
            return false

        val extraHeaders: MutableMap<String, String> = mutableMapOf()
        extraHeaders.put("Auth_Header, "some token")
        extraHeaders.put("Id_Header, "some username")

        view?.loadUrl(url, extraHeaders)
        return false

    }

But the authentication was failing so I got some logs from our server folks and The headers have had the capitalization removed so they look like this now:
    "auth_header, "some token"
    "id_header, "some username"

How can I make android WebView, respect the capitalization of my headers?!

A: From RFC 2616 - "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", Section 4.2 - "Message Headers":

Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names are case-insensitive.

The server needs to ignore the case for header names.

Market power mitigation has been an integral part of wholesale electricity markets since deregulation. In wholesale electricity markets, different regions in the US take different approaches to regulating market power. While the exercise of market power has received considerable attention in the literature, the issue of market power mitigation has attracted scant attention. In the first chapter, I examine the market power mitigation rules used in New York ISO (Independent System Operator) and California ISO (CAISO) with respect to day-ahead and real-time energy markets. I test whether markups associated with New York in-city generators would be lower with an alternative approach to mitigation, the CAISO approach. Results indicate the difference in markups between these two mitigation rules is driven by the shape of residual demand curves for suppliers. Analysis of residual demand curves faced by New York in-city suppliers show similar markups under both mitigation rules when no one supplier is necessary to meet the demand (i.e., when no supplier is pivotal). However, when some supplier is crucial for the market to clear, the mitigation rule adopted by the NYISO consistently leads to higher markups than would the CAISO rule. This result suggest that market power episodes in New York is confined to periods where some supplier is pivotal. As a result, I find that applying the CAISOs' mitigation rules to the New York market could lower wholesale electricity prices by 18%. The second chapter of my dissertation focuses on supply function equilibrium. In power markets, suppliers submit offer curves in auctions, indicating their willingness to supply at different price levels. Although firms are allowed to submit different offer curves for different time periods, surprisingly many firms stick to a single offer curve for the entire day. This essentially means that firms are submitting a single offer curve for multiple demand realizations. A suitable framework to analyze such oligopolistic competition between power market suppliers is supply function equilibrium models. Using detailed bidding data, I develop equilibrium in supply functions by restricting supplier offers to a class of supply functions. By collating equilibrium supply functions corresponding to different realizations of demand, I obtain a single optimal supply function for the entire day. Then I compare the resulting supply function with actual day-ahead offers in New York. In addition to supply function equilibrium, I also develop a conservative bidding approach in which each firm assumes that rivals bid at marginal costs. Results show that the supply functions derived from equilibrium bidding model in this paper is not consistent with actual bidding in New York. This result is mainly driven by the class of supply functions used in this study to generate the equilibrium. Further, actual offers do not resemble offers generated by the conservative bidding algorithm.

Purpose. According to the SONATRACH groups requirements, a hazard study should be carried out conforming to Law 45/DG in order to manage risk situations better and to ensure maximum operational safety.
Methodology. The work presents modeling of accident scenarios through the ALOHA software. The identification and characterization of potential hazards of the facilities are carried out by the XRISK software while using the preliminary risk analysis method (PRA) and the bow tie method (in a horizontal plane).
Finding. An assessment of the socio-economic impact in the event of an accident in the hydrocarbon industry is given as well as recommendations to avoid unforeseen consequences.
Originality. For the first time at SONATRACH, the LOPA software has been used to model accident scenarios in the hydrocarbon industry. The latter refers to high-risk industries where every activity, whether industrial or commercial, is subject to incidents or serious situations that could seriously disrupt the operation of the organization, or even damage or destroy it.
Practical value. Sensitive elements have been identified, which respectively include the station staff, the DSP agents on duty (digital signal processing), the subcontractors, i.e. a permanent population of 30 people on average. The occurrence of the potential major accidents identified in the risk analysis would cause the gas compression to stop at Rhourde Nouss station. Thus, there is a pressure drop at the level of the gas pipelines, which reduces the gas flow significantly, while its extent and duration will depend on the restarting of the station. Furthermore, the effects of damage to the equipment concerned could result in a significant cost for their replacement within a reasonable time.

Q: Xml Requests do not work I cannot get a bare bones Asp.Net Core Web Api project to work using Xml instead of Json. Please help!
I have created a new project and the only adjustments to the default configuration were to add the Xml formatters...
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // Add framework services.
    services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(Configuration);

    services.AddMvc(config =>
    {
        config.InputFormatters.Add(new XmlSerializerInputFormatter());
        config.OutputFormatters.Add(new XmlSerializerOutputFormatter());
    });
}

My Controller also contains simple Get and Post methods:
[Route("api")]
public class MessageController : Controller
{
    [HttpPost]
    public void Post([FromBody] Message message)
    {

    }

    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult Get()
    {
        return Ok(new Message
        {
            TestProperty = "Test value"
        });
    }
}

When I try calling the POST method with Content-Type: application/xml, the API returns 415 Unsupported Media Type. I have tried adding the Consumes("application/xml") attribute to the controller and still it does not work.
The GET works and returns JSON. However, if I add the Produces("application/xml") attribute to the controller, the GET returns 406  Not Acceptable, even if I provide the Accepts: application/xml header.
For some reason, the API is completely rejecting anything related to xml even though the input and output formatters were added as I have seen in the very few examples I could find.
What am I missing?

A: I have following thing in my startup.cs and it works well with XML and JSON both.
Here I only stick with XML.
Note : ( I have consider my own class for sample)

*

*Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvcCore()
                .AddJsonFormatters().AddXmlSerializerFormatters();
    }

*My HttpClient Code ( You might have missed Content Type setting that I have done in StringCotent)

*

*Two header is important : Accept and Content-Type. Accept help in content negotiation and Content-Type is a way client tell server what type content client is posting.
 HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
 client.BaseAddress = new Uri( @"http://localhost:5000");
 client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/xml"));

 HttpContent content = new StringContent(@"<Product>
<Id>122</Id>
<Name>Computer112</Name></Product>",System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 , "application/xml");  // This is important.

var result = client.PostAsync("/api/Products", content).Result;

A: In ASP.Net Core 2.0 you can accept both XML and Json request almost out of the box.
In Startup class in ConfigureServices method, you should have:
services
    .AddMvc()
    .AddXmlSerializerFormatters();

And controller that accepts complex object looks like this:
[Route("api/Documents")]
public class DocumentsController : Controller
{
    [Route("SendDocument")]
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult SendDocument([FromBody]DocumentDto document)
    {
        return Ok();
    }
}

This is an XML to send:
<document>
    <id>123456</id>
<content>This is document that I posted...</content>
<author>Michał Białecki</author>
<links>
    <link>2345</link>
    <link>5678</link>
</links>

{
    id: "1234",
    content: "This is document that I posted...",
    author: "Michał Białecki",
    links: {
        link: ["1234", "5678"]
    }
}

And that's it! It just works.

Request with the same document either in XML or Json to api/documents/SendDocument endpoint is handled by one method. Only remember about correct Content-Type header in your request.
You can read the whole post at my blog: http://www.michalbialecki.com/2018/04/25/accept-xml-request-in-asp-net-mvc-controller/

A: For ASP.NET Core 2.2 use nuget package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Xml or Microsoft.AspNetCore.App
and add this in Startup.cs
      services.AddMvc()
       .AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
       .AddXmlDataContractSerializerFormatters();

Don't forget to use headers Accept application/xml to get response as xml and Content-Type application/xml for request with xml body.
Check example here http://www.devcode4.com/article/asp-net-core-xml-request-response

HELEN GRANT MP VISITS GATEWAY
Maidstone and Weald MP Helen Grant has applauded a ground-breaking initiative by the Future Schools Trust.
The MP visited New Line Learning to see the Gateway – a new provision for children who potentially could face exclusion – set up by the Future Schools Trust.
The Gateway, is designed to be an early intervention provision, allowing pupils to remain within mainstream education, while developing their individual skills specifically geared towards concerns raised by their host schools.
The Gateway only opened in September but it has already had a remarkable success in retaining students in school at a time when the number of children being excluded from schools nationwide is on the increase.
It caters for students from Future Schools Trust's two academies – New Line Learning and Cornwallis - who have complex difficulties, which have led to disruption in the classroom. In the past, many of these would have been sent to a pupil referral unit or provision away from the school campus – often, never to return.
The Government's select committee is currently looking at the effectiveness of such pupil referral units in comparison with in-house provision like the Gateway, which the MP applauded for its innovative approach.
She was shown around by Head of Gateway James Graham and FST's Acting Head of Business Operations Ari Kotsis, where she met staff and looked around the Gateway, including their joinery and construction unit.
Following the visit, she said: "From my tour of the Gateway and my talks with the Head James Graham and it is clear The Gateway is getting results for young people with complex barriers to learning.
"Daily liaison with parents at home is a cornerstone of the service which seems to be well received by all parties. I commend this model approach and hope they will be able to extend the facility for more students if given the necessary funding."
Future Schools Trust believes it has a model which other schools will follow.
Mr Graham said: "It is early days, as the Gateway only opened at the beginning of this academic year, but the signs so far are that pupils are prepared to come to school each day and show a willingness to learn, which can only be for the good."
Mr Kotsis said: "Our aim is to teach practical skills whilst reinforcing the need for academic rigour. All pupils need to learn how to control their emotions whilst appreciating that they need basic Maths and English to give them the best chance of securing a job."

Thank you to each and every parent, teacher and child who makes our amazing garden possible. Enjoy reading details about how and why our garden came into existence.
BY JULIE BAWDEN-DAVIS / CONTRIBUTING WRITER Published: March 7, 2014 Updated: 8:46 a.m.
When Ava Mora pulled a purple and orange carrot out of Tustin Memorial Academy Elementary School's garden recently and viewed the results of the seeds she and other students planted weeks before, the second-grader couldn't wait to takea bite.
While these are welcome words for the 150 parents involved in the TMA Organic Garden and Nature Center, which broke ground in 2008 and is the most extensive school garden in Orange County – involving all 700 of the school's students – it's the reactions from older kids that really make those parents smile.
That fifth-and sixth-graders would know more about storm water runoff,composting and the nutritional impact of homegrown organic produce than the average adult was the goal of the school garden's creator and co-chair, Marci Maietta Weinberg, who with the help of other parents and a University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Master Gardener, started what has proven to be a sustainable school garden model.
"My hope was for children to walk away feeling a responsibility as stewards of the planet and with a strong understanding of how what they eat affects themselves and our world," Weinberg says.
The methods used by the TMA garden dovetail nicely with the Common Core Standards now used in classrooms. TMA first-grade teacher Megan Caporicci formerly taught fourth grade, which is responsible for the school's hot composting."My fourth-grade class would go out and collect temperature data from the compost bins and then input the information in a table format, which taught them math skills in a relevant, hands-on way," Caporicci says.
UCCE Master Gardener Teena Spindler regularly consults throughout the county on school gardens and does site visits for schools interested in starting their own gardens. She has been involved in the TMA school garden since its inception.
Students participate in seeding, transplanting, harvesting and garden maintenance and composting. Vegetables and fruits are sold at an after-school produce stand on Tuesdays.
Ty Hall is regional manager of Kellogg Garden Products, which regularly donates soil, amendments and organic fertilizer to the garden. "Kellogg's is coming up on 90 years in the horticultural industry, and it's part of our business model to reach and teach the next generation, so we make contributions to select schools that are educating about gardening in a sustainable way," Hall says.
One of the main reasons that the TMA garden program works so well is the high percentage of parent participation. Each classroom has three to four Garden Master parents, who experience twice yearly training by Spindler and fellow Master Gardener Joanne Byrd. These Garden Master parents specialize in one of three areas: planting, maintaining or exploring.
Parents often will tie in what the kids are doing and seeing in the garden with what's being learned in the classroom, says Garden Master and planting co-chair Ellen Kinoshita, whose child Samantha is in fifth grade while Cassidy attends third grade at TMA. "The garden provides an excellent extension of the classroom, and the kids love getting in the dirt and examining the worms and insects," she says.
Another major goal is developing healthy eaters. The kids are given Green Bucks when they show engaged, enthusiastic and extra hard-working behavior in the garden. These are used to purchase the healthy items available at the sales on Tuesdays. The Green Bucks program was made possible by a grant from Slow Food Orange County.
The garden also currently is piloting a garden game that involves bringing a plate out to the garden that has been properly proportioned with the amounts of certain types of foods that should be eaten in a meal and playing cards representing foods like greens. The kids look through the garden for items on the cards and then fill their plates with the appropriate cards.
Mora, the second-grader who enjoyed her first homegrown carrot, recently solved such a problem with her class.

An apparatus for the production of biomethane from organic substances comprises a digester having a vat with a floor and a centrally located vertical axis. The vat is formed by a fixed foundation and vertical side walls. A central support pillar has a vertical axis coincident with the vertical axis of the vat and is movably joined to the foundation so that the pillar can rotate about the axis. The vat has an upper portion fixed to the central pillar and rotatably supported on the side walls. A cylindrical primary compartment is located inside the vat concentrically around the central pillar. A fixed vertical partition joins the floor and radially extends between the primary compartment and the side walls of the vat. A movable partition radially extends between the primary compartment and a side wall and is capable of moving about the central axis with the upper portion and central pillar. When the movable partition moves, all substances in the vat outside the primary compartment are displaced. A recirculating pump transfers all of the substances in the vat outside the primary compartment from one side of the movable partition to the opposite side as the partition moves. A feed pump transfers substances in the bottom of the primary compartment to the top of the compartment or to the portion of the vat outside the primary compartment. Biogas is collected in a tank fixed to the upper portion of the digester and is subsequently removed from the digester.
