Q: ( How-To ) Ultra Low-Profile PCB Stacking Recently I found myself needing to stack two small circuit boards on top of each other for a modulation project. The problem is that the areas I want to connect together on the two boards have no components or traces on them, and traditional pin-style stack ups (even machine headers) leave an unwanted gap between boards.
How can I stack the boards flush with on another and have a minimal gap between them?
I have seen This Question which shows an approach to stack boards permanently flush together, but I need a solution that is removable.

A: What you need is a new Sycamore contact. They allow you to plug boards together with minimal spacing in between. This is especially useful when making add-ons for a basic board which can be replaced and upgraded.
I would advise you to put a via through the edge of the contact pads (if possible) to prevent the connector ripping off the board in high-stress applications. You will be surprised how long they last!

There are several variations for different pin sizes and top/bottom entry:

Here is a video: Sycamore Contact
This will require compatible male pins on your second board. For my application, female pin headers with long male legs will work, but there may come a time when you wish to attach boards without any noticeable protrusions on either board. SMD male pins that I have found so far are not adequate because they leave a gap between boards. Feel free to comment useful part #s below.
Edit:
I found that Escutcheon pins are a great alternative to pin headers for a protrusion-free connection to the Sycamore contact:

The pins are gold-plated for a longer contact life. Add a thin strip of spongy adhesive between the boards and you're good to go!

Today we ran ten miles in the pouring rain!
I calculated this all wrong... We were not early enough so there was a constant stream of cars... Fortunately the main road has a path that runs by it on both sides.
Amy my wonderful PA in the UK, looked up the emotional and psychospiritual connection to knee... In essence it says that knees represent fear of change and fear of moving forward....!
Greg has helped me by giving me lots of good advise, exercises and suggesting I ice my knee after I run.
It can still take time, we can only resolve when we are ready to resolve, and this is apparent given that I have lived with 'pointy knee' for five weeks before seeking help...!
And tomorrow I will come face to face with the re assuring voice of the man at the end of the phone..

Big day for UH grid alums
April 2, 2009, 8:32 AM HST
* Updated April 2, 10:01 AM
Typically, these types of events are conducted on a university's campus. But in order to attract the maximum number of pro scouts, former UH players will be showing their stuff today at the Home Depot Center in the Los Angeles area.
Leading the way are defensive end David Veikune and safety Ryan Mouton, with defensive lineman Josh Leonard and linebacker Solomon Elimimian also in attendance.
Veikune is the ex-UH player most likely to be selected during the upcoming NFL draft, scheduled for April 25-26.
The 6-2, 260-pounder showed well during the Senior Bowl drills. He also put up some impressive numbers at the NFL combine, bench-pressing 225 pounds 35 times, fourth-best among all the participants. His 40-yard time ranked ninth among defensive linemen.
Last week, the Dolphins conducted a private workout for Veikune and three USC linebackers who are all projected as first-round picks — Brian Cushing, Clay Matthews and Rey Maualuga. Earlier this week, Veikune had a private workout with Denver's linebacker coach.
With some many NFL teams employing a 3-4 scheme, Veikune's future is likely to be as an outside linebacker.
Mouton showed well at the East-West Shrine game and the combine. He had a 39.5 vertical jump and, despite slowing down near the end of the 40 with a strained hamstring, was clocked in 4.48 — the fourth-fastest among defensive backs.

Home » Insurance Blog » Life » What Is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance, by the simplest definition, is a type of life insurance policy that has a set term during which benefits will be paid out to named beneficiaries in the event of your death. The term is specified at the outset and you could select a term of 10, 15, or 20 years, just for example. When the term is reached, your policy will expire and your benefits will be lost, supposing you're still alive at that point. If you think about it, term life insurance might sound like a waste of money, especially when compared with permanent (whole or universal) life insurance policies that allow you to continue paying a set fee for the duration of your life. In this case, it won't matter when you die – your loved ones will receive benefits (supposing you never lapse in your payments). So why would you choose term life insurance? What do you stand to gain?
There are a couple of good reasons why you might elect to purchase a term life policy instead of a more permanent form of coverage. For one thing, term life insurance policies are often the less expensive option. Granted, the tables turn over time. Taking out a term policy while you're young and healthy will result in lower premiums for the same coverage of a whole life policy, all things being equal. But down the road, when your term expires and you find yourself negotiating for a new policy, the price for premiums will have increased dramatically because you are now 10 or 20 years older. Whether you want another term policy or a permanent life policy at that point, you're going to pay more than you would have when you were younger. This again begs the question: why choose a term policy?
The reason why most people select this type of coverage, especially when they're young, is that they can't afford a permanent life policy but still want some form of coverage for a worst case scenario (i.e. untimely demise). If you're a twenty-something, just out of college, saddled with student loan debt, and looking to start a career, get married, buy a house, and have some kids, chances are you don't have a lot of disposable income. Between paying rent and squirreling away a bit of cash every month for a down payment on a house (while likely working at an entry-level job), you may not have two nickels to rub together, much less devote to life insurance that you probably don't need. After all, you're in the lowest-risk age group for death.
That said, you never know what's around the corner. And whether you have a partner, young kids, or even parents, it will fall to your loved ones to pay for your funeral expenses, at the very least. And a spouse will be on the hook for debt accrued during the marriage, including a mortgage, credit card debt, and so on. You want to make sure your loved ones are financially cared for in your absence. And if you can't afford a permanent policy now, you may be able to afford a short-term policy in the interim. By the time the term is up, you will have advanced in your career to the point where you can afford a better policy. And with a short term policy, you'll still be young enough to get a decent rate. By covering the gap between the life you have and the life you have planned, term life insurance can come in handy, just in case you don't make it to the second half of that scenario.

Morning Star é um jornal diário britânico de esquerda com foco em questões sociais, políticas e sindicais, e é o maior e mais antigo jornal socialista da Grã-Bretanha. Originalmente fundado em 1930 como Daily Worker pelo Partido Comunista da Grã-Bretanha (PCGB), a propriedade foi transferida do PCGB para uma cooperativa de leitores independentes em 1945. O jornal foi renomeado e reinventado como Morning Star em 1966. O jornal descreve sua postura editorial como alinhada com o Road to Socialism da Grã-Bretanha, o programa do Partido Comunista da Grã-Bretanha.

Durante a Guerra Fria, o jornal foi fundamental para expor vários crimes de guerra e atrocidades, incluindo a publicação de provas de que soldados britânicos estavam decapitando pessoas na Malásia, publicando evidências do uso de armas biológicas pelos EUA durante a Guerra da Coreia, e revelando a existência de valas comuns de civis mortos pelo governo sul-coreano. O Morning Star sobreviveu a inúmeras tentativas de censura, sendo banido por todos os atacadistas britânicos por quase 12 anos, sendo vítima de batidas policiais e processos por difamação por motivos políticos, sendo banido pelo governo do Reino Unido entre 1941-1942, e ameaças do governo britânico de que seus jornalistas fossem julgados por traição e executados. Apesar dessas dificuldades, o jornal durou para se tornar o jornal socialista mais antigo da história britânica.

O jornal imprime contribuições de escritores de uma variedade de perspectivas socialistas, comunistas, social-democratas, verdes e religiosas, com alguns de seus colaboradores famosos, incluindo Jeremy Corbyn, Virginia Woolf, Angela Davis, Len Johnson, Wilfred Burchett, Alan Winnington, Jean Ross e Harry Pollitt. Ao contrário de muitos jornais socialistas, o Morning Star não se concentra na política, excluindo outros tópicos: o jornal também inclui páginas que cobrem resenhas de arte, esportes, jardinagem, culinária e resenhas de livros.

On Friday 15th, 2019, almost a hundred Muslims became the victim of the mass shooting of a white supremacist extremist, in New Zealand. The mass shooting took place in two mosques, in the city of Christ church, at the time of Friday prayer. According to the latest news, fifty people have been confirmed dead, while more than thirty are injured and almost nine people are in critical condition. Almost all of the victims of the attack are Muslims and belonged to different countries of the world. The victims include men, women and children as well. Their families, in different countries of the world, are mourning for their beloved and still waiting to get the dead bodies.
The mass shooting was carried out by an Australian citizen, named Brenton Tarrant, who is a young 28 years old man. He did not only kill people by mass shooting but live streamed the happening, as well. He traveled from Sydney, Australia to Christchurch New Zealand, just to practice this heinous crime. It reveals too much about the criminal who not only well planned the terrorist attack, but also executed it accordingly. The only aim was to terrorize the Muslims, and I am glad he did not succeed in it, as the picture depicts a brutally injured man raising his index finger towards the sky and depicting his faith in ALLAH.
This is not exactly the first case of terrorism against the Muslims or terrorism by a white extremist supremacist against the Muslims. There have been a number of other cases of mass shootings, not only against the Muslims but also against the black community and sometimes against the general society, in which the white people also became the victims. However, the incidents were always regarded as the depiction of Muslim's incited terrorism. Even if it was carried out by white extremists like Brenton Tarrant, that was termed as the case of the reaction of Islamophobia. This case is no different as the Australian senator has claimed that the incident occurred due to the immigration of Muslims in New Zealand and Australia, which is threatening the existence of the white population. However, the prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, met with the families of victims and consoled them over their precious loss.
The attitude of some extremist representatives and the supremacist groups is promoting the notion of extremism in white societies. Instead of condemning the attacks, the western media has always portrayed such incidents as the results of the immigration laws, instead of talking about the need for gun laws. The media has always tried to depict that the criminal was suffering from depression or had some other mental health issue, which was of course caused by the presence of Muslims. However, this time, the media is unable to convene the identity and motives of the criminal as he is declared completely sane and healthy by the lawyer, who was assigned to defend him. Tarrant has not only claimed to present his case in court on his own, but he also depicted the sign of white supremacy and victory, during the first court appearance. While having a grin on his face, which was blurred, in order to not hurt the sentiments of the victims.


I like driving my car in the winter.
Water injection is nice too.
I'm sure someone will build this fantastic system into a 25 year old FC.
i don't look at my car as a 25 year old piece of machinery when i have a handheld sitting next to me that i can adjust almost any engine function within a few seconds and the car has well over twice the horsepower that it originally came with, all while the simple engine is relatively as it was designed when it rolled off the assembly plant with very minor changes done to it in its 210,000 miles.
who wants to redesign a brand new car that they just spent $40k for and void the warranty? and in actuality most new cars it is very easy to do more harm than good as technology increases and you have inexperienced "tuners" throwing ebay parts on because they are claimed to be "better".

would be nice to store the cool refrigerant and use it for short bursts to keep the intercooler cool, ideally you wouldn't want to have the compressor running when you are trying to make power as that is counterproductive.
What they are doing in this particular car is using the existing OEM water to air intercooler system and enhancing it with the refrigeration adapter. Lots of the guys will also add a small storage tank of a couple of gallons capacity to create a supply of cool/cold water for when the A/C compressor turns off. I believe it turns off based on RPM only, not throttle position. In this car, the intercooler water pump doesn't run constantly. It only runs when the car is boosting.

same thing basically, now i have the time for those ideas but no money. go figure.
Or the AC compressor could be electric and driven by auxiliary Li battery.
any form of battery would have to be charged outside the car, which would be a huge pain and the battery would have to be large to do that amount of work. charging any form of battery from the engine is even less efficient than a mechanical conversion.
First real helpful post on the forums here, I'll try to be as helpful as I can. As an hvac professional the amount of heat you are looking to remove (130f+ in some cases) would cause MOST car hvac compressorS to run such a high head pressure to the point of extreme inefficiency. Let's say you have a small 400 sqft shop, it's uninsulated and in direct sunlight. It's average inside temp when sealed reaches 95f. Now you put in a 1.5 ton system and expect it to remove the heat from that space. Although it's only 400sqft the heat load is through the roof, so the system would never bring the space below 85f if your lucky. Now let's say you have a large fan, the fan moves 1000cfm or so, you open the doors to the shop and let the fan evacuate the heat. Now the shop in theory should be close to the outdoor temp in the shade. Ok, let's say you put 4 tons of cooling in said space. Yes it will more than likely cool the space but at what cost? You'll probably get another 10f drop vs the fan but the fan pulls 1/8 the power dran so what's the better option? My point is, it could be done yes. Is it worth the amount of drain weather I be electrical drain through the battery then the alternator then the engine or through the compressor then the engine. In the end using the free cooling you have (air flowing through the front of the car) is so much more efficient it's not even funny.
Cliff notes: you cannot use the oem ac system or any oem ac system to drop the intake temp more than what a quality fmic would.
you're overthinking the issue though. the A/C system is just a system of heat exchangers, so is the intercooler. the intercooler does generate a lot of heat but we aren't trying to bring the temps down to 32F.
many people use water to air intercoolers, except the water has a limited thermal capacity so it's more for drag racing. turn the air conditioner into a partial cooler for the water and you now have a water battery for cooling off the intercooler.
in my mind that idea would work, not for track duty but for the intermittent burst of boost, like a highway duel where you can cool off the water between runs.

Run electric motor with supplied power from alternator if your alternator can supply enough amps. Thermostatically controlled. Guessing motor would pull a lot of current since just by turning on a/c system, revs dip.
Been eyeing electric superchargers, going to school for mechatronics, been messing with raspberry pi to control systems.
Here is a thread where a guy is using Killer Chiller at the drag strip and street. It seems to work pretty well he says for "mainly for street driving with a few quick blast up to 140mph on the interstate".
KC's website is pretty much absolutely worthless for information describing how their system works.
This might help give an overview.

There is a rotary race bike that is "gas cooled"...i dont know the details but it sounds to me as if the whole engine is refridgereted, so it should work on an ic too?

PLANT PARTS AND FUNCTIONS [Stems]
Diposting oleh Ahmad Lubab Hidayat pada tanggal Oktober 22, 2012
Cross-Section of a Stem
Stems are structures which support buds and leaves and serve as conduits for carrying water, minerals, and sugars. The three major internal parts of a stem are the xylem, phloem, and cambium. The xylem and phloem are the major components of a plant's vascular system.
The vascular system transports food, water, and minerals and offers support for the plant. Xylem vessels conduct water and minerals, while phloem tubes conduct food. The vascular systems of monocots and dicots differ. While both contain xylem and phloem, they are arranged differently. In the stem of a monocot, the xylem and phloem are paired into bundles; these bundles are dispersed throughout the stem. But in the stem of a dicot, the vascular system forms rings inside the stem. The ring of phloem is near the bark or external cover of the stem and is a component of the bark in mature stems. The xylem forms the inner ring; it is the sapwood and heartwood in woody plants. The difference in the vascular system of the two groups is of practical interest to the horticulturist because certain herbicides are specific to either monocots or dicots. An example is 2, 4, -D, which only kills dicots.
The cambium is a meristem, which is a site of cell division and active growth. It is located between the xylem and phloem inside the bark of a stem and is the tissue responsible for a stem's increase in girth, as it produces both the xylem and phloem tissues.
Stems may be long, with great distances between leaves and buds (branches of trees, runners on strawberries), or compressed, with short distances between buds or leaves (fruit spurs, crowns of strawberry plants, dandelions). Stems can be above the ground like most stems with which we are familiar, or below the ground (potatoes, tulip bulbs). All stems must have buds or leaves present to be classified as stem tissue.
An area of the stem where leaves are located is called a node. Nodes are areas of great cellular activity and growth, where auxiliary buds develop into leaves or flowers. The area between nodes is called the internode.
Parts of a Stem
The length of an internode may depend on many factors. Decreasing fertility will decrease internode length. Internode length varies with the season. Too little light will result in a long internode causing a spindly stem. This situation is known as stretch or etiolation. Growth produced early in the season has the greatest internode length. Internode length decreases as the growing season nears its end. Vigorously growing plants tend to have greater internode lengths than less vigorous plants. Internode length will vary with competition from surrounding stems or developing fruit. If the energy for a stem has to be divided between three or four stems, or if the energy is diverted into fruit growth, internode length will be shortened.
Modified Stems
Although typical stems are above-ground trunks and branches, there are modified stems which can be found above ground and below ground. The above-ground modified stems are crowns, stolons, and spurs, and the below-ground stems are bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers.
A crown is a region of compressed stem tissue from which new shoots are produced, generally found near the surface of the soil. Crowns (strawberries, dandelions, African violets) are compressed stems having leaves and flowers on short internodes.
A spur is a compressed fruiting branch. Spurs are short, stubby, side stems that arise from the main stem and are common on such fruit trees as pears, apples, and cherries, where they may bear fruit. If severe pruning is done close to fruit-bearing spurs, the spurs can revert to a long, nonfruiting stem.
A stolon is a horizontal stem that is fleshy or semi-woody and lies along the top of the ground. A runner is a type of stolon. It is a specialized stem that grows on the soil surface and forms a new plant at one or more of its nodes. Strawberry runners are examples of stolons. Remember, all stems have nodes and buds or leaves. The leaves on strawberry runners are small but are located at the nodes which are easy to see. The spider plant also has stolons.
A tuber is an enlarged portion of an underground stem like potato tubers, tulip bulbs, and iris rhizomes are underground stems that store food for the plant. The tuber, like any other stem, has nodes that produce buds. The eyes of a potato are actually the nodes on the stem. Each eye contains a cluster of buds.
A rhizome is a specialized stem which grows horizontally at or just below the soil surface. They act as a storage organ and means of propagation in some plants and are similar to stolons. Some rhizomes are compressed and fleshy such as those of iris; they can also be slender with elongated internodes such as bentgrass. Johnsongrass is a hated weed principally because of the spreading capability of its rhizomes.
Tulips, lilies, daffodils, and onions are plants that produce bulbs--shortened, compressed, underground stems surrounded by fleshy scales (leaves) that envelop a central bud located at the tip of the stem. If you cut through the center of a tulip or daffodil bulb in November, you can see all the flower parts in miniature within the bulb. Many bulbs require a period of low-temperature exposure before they begin to send up the new plant. Both the temperature and length of this treatment are of critical importance to commercial growers who force bulbs for holidays.
Corms are not the same as bulbs. They have shapes similar to bulbs, but do not contain fleshy scales. A corm is a solid, swollen stem whose scales have been reduced to a dry, leaflike covering.
Some plants produce a modified stem that is referred to as a tuberous stem. Examples are tuberous begonia and cyclamen. The stem is shortened, flattened, enlarged, and underground. Buds and shoots arise from the crown and fibrous roots are found on the bottom of the tuberous stem. In addition, some plants such as the dahlia and the sweet potato produce an underground storage organ called a tuberous root, which is often confused with bulbs and tubers. However, these are roots, not stems, and have neither nodes nor internodes. It may sometimes be difficult to distinguish between roots and stems, but one sure way is to look for the presence of nodes. Stems have nodes; roots do not.
Stems are commonly used for plant propagation. Above-ground stems can be divided into sections that contain internodes and nodes. They are utilized as cuttings and will produce stems that are good propagative tissues. Rhizomes can be divided into pieces. Bulbs form small bulblets at the base of the parent bulb. Cormels are miniature corms that form under the parent corm. Tubers can be cut into pieces containing eyes and nodes. All of these will produce new plants.
Types of Stems
A shoot is a young stem with leaves present. A twig is a stem which is less than one year old and has no leaves since it is still in the winter-dormant stage. A branch is a stem which is more than one year old and typically has lateral stems. A trunk is a main stem of a woody plant. Most trees have a single trunk.
Trees are perennial woody plants, usually have one main trunk, and are usually more than 12 feet tall at maturity. Shrubs are perennial woody plants that may have one or several main stems, and are usually less than 12 feet tall at maturity.
A vine is a plant which develops long, trailing stems that grow along the ground unless they are supported by another plant or structure. Some twining vines circle their support clockwise while others circle counter clockwise. Climbing vines are supported by aerial roots, slender tendrils which encircle the supporting object, or tendrils with adhesive tips.
Texture and Growth of Stems
Woody stems contain relatively large amounts of hardened xylem tissue in its core, and are typical of most tree fruits and ornamental trees and shrubs.
A cane is a stem which has a relatively large pith and usually lives only one or two years. Examples of plants with canes include rose, grape, and blackberry.
Herbaceous or succulent stems contain only small amounts of xylem tissue and usually live for only one growing season. If the plant is perennial, it will develop new shoots from the root.
Life Cycles of Plants
Plants are classified by the number of growing seasons required to complete a life cycle. Annuals pass through their entire life cycle from seed germination to seed production in one growing season and then die.
Biennials are plants which start from seeds and produce vegetative structures and food storage organs the first season. During the first winter a hardy evergreen rosette of basal leaves persists. During the second season flowers, fruit, and seeds develop to complete the life cycle. The plant then dies. Carrots, beets, cabbage, celery, and onions are biennial plants. Hollyhock, Canterbury Bells, and Sweet William are biennials which are commonly grown for their attractive flowers.
Plants which typically develop as biennials may, in some cases, complete the cycle of growth from seed germination to seed production in only one growing season. This situation occurs when drought, variations in temperature or other climatic conditions are experienced. These cause the plant to physiologically pass through the equivalent of two growing seasons, in a single growing season. This phenomenon is referred to as bolting.
Perennial plants live for many years, and after reaching maturity, typically produce flowers and seeds each year. Perennials are classified as herbaceous if the top dies back to the ground each winter and new stems grow from the roots each spring. They are classified as woody if the top persists, as in shrubs or trees.
Stems as Food
The edible portion of cultivated plants such as asparagus and kohlrabi is an enlarged succulent stem. The edible parts of broccoli are composed of stem tissue, flower buds, and a few small leaves. The edible part of potato is a fleshy underground stem called a tuber. Although the name suggests otherwise, the edible part of the cauliflower is proliferated stem tissue.

In re St. Paul Travelers Securities Litigation I
Settled: December 28, 2005
We secured a $67.5 million settlement,at the time, one of the largest in the history of the District of Minnesota and the Eighth Circuit.
The $67.5 million settlement achieved in the class action In re St. Paul Travelers Securities Litigation I and approved by the Court in December 2005, culminated the litigation against St. Paul Travelers regarding the April 2004 merger of the St. Paul Companies and Travelers Casualty Property Corp. Several months after the merger, and contrary to earlier statements made by St. Paul and its president, the combined company, St. Paul Travelers, announced that it was taking a $1.6 billion reserve adjustment, causing a massive decline in the company's stock and forcing the company to announce a first quarter operating loss of over $300 million.
The settlement is one of the largest in the history of the District of Minnesota and the Eighth Circuit. The class was represented by three New Mexico state pension funds acting as Lead Plaintiff, through the direction of the Office of the Attorney General of New Mexico and Attorney General Patricia Madrid. The Labaton Sucharow team was led by partner Thomas A. Dubbs. This outstanding result was achieved after months of hard fought litigation, in which the parties engaged in extensive briefing and consultation with actuaries and other insurance and damage experts. Labaton Sucharow also conducted extensive discovery, including the analysis of over 30 boxes of documents, which constituted the due diligence information available to both companies prior to the Merger. Lead Counsel also took depositions and conducted interviews of St. Paul and Travelers' top financial executives, including St. Paul's then chief actuary.
Although Labaton Sucharow and their insurance experts believed that they had uncovered recent regulatory filings which suggested that St. Paul is less than adequately reserved, they also realized that the outcome of continued litigation could hinge on a battle of actuarial experts, and complex issues of insurance accounting - issues which are not particularly appealing to jurors. Defendants, of course, similarly faced risks, especially since St. Paul Travelers is currently under investigation by over twenty regulatory agencies for its presumed part in the Marsh & McClennan big rigging scheme. After numerous rounds of negotiations, the parties finally came to an agreement - an all cash settlement which Labaton Sucharow believes provides class members with more than 25% of their maximum realizable damages. It also provided class members with virtually an immediate pay-out. The Court approved the distribution of the settlement to eligible claimants on April 27, 2007 and checks have been mailed.

Introduction: the reaction states or leprosy reactions are periods of acute inflammation in the course of a chronic illness, the main cause of damage to the nerves and disabilities caused by leprosy. They are divided into three types: reversal reaction, erythema nodosum leprosum and isolated neuritis.
Objective: to describe the clinical characteristics of cases of leprosy reactions in a city of high backlands of Paraiba.
Method: utilized a structured and individual questionnaire applied in the homes of patients and former patients of Hansen's disease who developed leprosy reactions , registered in the three Family Health Units with more cases of leprosy in the city of Cajazeiras – PB.
Results: among the 22 participants, most were male, aged over 61 years old and incomplete primary education. Regarding the classification of leprosy, 90.9% were multibacillary and 77.2 % of the blackening clinical form. When evaluated the type of reaction, 68.2 % were considered cases of RR or type 1 reaction, 45.5 % developed reactions during treatment and 40.9% after discharge by cure.
Conclusion: the study demonstrates the need for qualification of the professionals in the primary health care to a greater and better monitoring of these cases by the Family Health Strategy, so much so that the leprosy reactions are diagnosed early during treatment and after discharge, as mainly for carrying out monitoring conducts of neural damage and prevention of physical disabilities, avoiding them from installing deformities that impair daily activities and the interaction of these people in society.

London : The most popular destination from Eindhoven Airport, again
London is still by far the most popular destination for travelers from Eindhoven Airport.
The number of passengers from Eindhoven to this metropolis last year grew by no less than 22 percent compared to 2018. More than a quarter of the travelers to this destination had a business travel motive. Almost 60 percent cited leisure and almost 20 percent visits to friends / family as the reason for the flight. Budapest (2) also remains a popular destination. Last year this city attracted 11 percent more passengers from Eindhoven Airport than in 2018. (26% business, 51% leisure, 23% friends / family visits). Malaga (3) attracted four percent more travelers last year than in 2018 (mainly leisure). This is according to a study by Markteffect (October 2019).
Of the range of destinations offered by Eindhoven Airport, London and Budapest have the best balance in selected travel motives. The choice of these two destinations also shows that weather conditions on site hardly have any influence. It is also striking that London and Budapest attract significantly more incoming passengers than other destinations from Eindhoven Airport. At destination London Stansted, 16 percent of the passengers were incoming passengers (in 2019: more than 50,000). At Budapest, nineteen percent were incoming passengers (in 2019: more than 55,000 passengers).
Krakow is new in the top 10 destinations of Eindhoven Airport. The reason for this is the significantly increased number of flights to this city (74% more in 2019 than in 2018). Krakow is the only destination of Eindhoven Airport where both Ryanair and Transavia and WizzAir (the three largest airlines at Eindhoven Airport) fly. Of the passengers, 84% have leisure as a travel motive. This shows that passengers have discovered the city as a destination for a holiday and / or city trip.
In the top ten destinations come after London, Budapest and Malaga, Alicante, Faro, Valencia, Lisbon, Krakow, Ibiza and Palma. The number of destinations at Eindhoven Airport grew in 2019 by two to 89 (including 19 capital cities). Last year the airlines Pobeda, Pegasus, SunExpress, Freebird and Laudamotion also chose Eindhoven Airport.
Figures for 2019 show that the occupancy rate of the aircraft at Eindhoven Airport has increased again. This was 88.8 percent last year. That is particularly high in the aviation sector. In 2018 and 2017 it was 88.5 and 86.2 percent respectively. The airlines that fly from / at Eindhoven Airport have been succeeding for years in a row with fewer and fewer vacant seats.

Most of the SEO information that you find on-line is about how to optimise your site to get it better rankings in the search engines by changing permalinks, placing keywords or adding meta data to your posts.
But I think there is another, perhaps even more interesting side to SEO and that is finding out what your site is being found for.
There are several ways to do this of course, including the Google Webmaster Tools or simple referrer statistics on your simple hosting package.
However it can be good to react to current trends as quickly as possible, so having a plug-in to show you what the latest search queries were can be very helpful. This is where "SEO Booster" comes in.
"SEO Booster" is available in two versions and for this post I am going to concentrate on the free "Lite" version which is available in the WordPress plug-in repository. This means that you can install it from within WordPress by going to "Plug-Ins" and then "Add New" and entering "SEO Booster Lite" in the search field.
You can ignore "settings" for the time being, and the rest will just be empty. But leave the site running for a few hours and if you are getting search traffic then "Last 25" will show you how the last 25 visitors that came via search found your site.
You see both the search query, the page of the search results (SERP), the number of times that search resulted in a visitor, the query URL – useful to see which country and language Google was set to when the search was carried it, and finally the page that the user landed on.
The "Top 25" leaves out the URL, but shows the search criteria that led to the site the most often since the plug-in was installed.
Using a widget you can display this data openly on your site which apparently helps to boost your ranking, hence the name, but I have not done that with my sites.
Instead, I use the information in the "Last 25" and "Top 25" tables to see what sort of topics people are searching for the most and which searches are leading to my sites even though I don't provide people with the answers to their questions to come up with ideas for new posts. After all, I am then writing about things that I already rank well for!

Biggest club in the whole wide world.
Of course the 'World's Biggest Club' is on Ibiza, but even such an accolade doesn't prepare you for the scale of what you're facing with Privilege. With a Main Room like an aircraft hangar - it could fit the whole of most of the other clubs in Ibiza inside it - Privilege has become renowned for providing the spectacular and grandiose, like no other can.
Privilege's beginnings as Ku, when it had a swimming pool at its centre, are a core part of the whole Ibiza story, and with Manumission, it hosted one of the world's most famous parties for over a decade. With layer upon layer of different parts of the club to explore, Privilege smashes down any existing boundaries you may already have for the clubbing experience.
Privilege's glass-encased Vista Club has become a haven for house and techno raves, with parties always continuing until the spectacular dawn washes through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the room with a brilliant view of Ibiza Town in the distance.
How to get there: €10-15 in a taxi from San Antonio, Playa D'en Bossa or Ibiza Town. Disco buses run all night direct from Ibiza and Playa d'en Bossa to San Antonio and vice versa. There are also special free buses for ticket holders provided by clubs and promoter, from locations in Playa D'en Bossa, Ibiza Port and San Antonio.
Prices: Entry prices vary between €25 and €50. A vodka limon costs approx. €12 and a beer €10.


Chronic fatigue (CF) is a combination of minimum of 4 of 8 symptoms. Myalgic encephalomyelitis chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a common debilitating disorder associated with an intense fatigue, a reduced physical activity, and an impaired quality of life.
Muscle Fatigue during exercise has also been investigated by monitoring the compound muscle action potential.
The excessive oxidative stress response to exercise was measured via two plasma markers: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS); Reduced ascorbic acid (RAA).
A potential inflammatory component was addressed via the expression of CD26 on peripheral blood mono nuclear cells.
Quality-of-life impairment was assessed using London Handicap Scale (LHS) and Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36.
The medical history of each patient was included as the presence of stressors such as intense sports practice. Severe acute infection and/or severe emotional stress was also documented.
It was analysed that there were differences between cases and controls with the regard to three biological variables: Post-exercise M wave, TBARS variations and CD26 expression at rest. Abnormalities in the biomarkers associated with health-related quality of life: LHS score was negatively correlated with the exercise-induced TBARS increase and positively correlated with the CD26 expression while the pain component of SF-36 was negatively correlated with CD26 expression. The TBARS increase and M-wave decrease were the highest and CD26 expression level was lowest in patients who had been submitted to infectious stressors.
After discussion, it was observed that ME/CFS patients, severe alterations of the muscle excitability, redox status and CD26 expression level are related with a marked impairment of quality of life. It wa concluded that the simultaneous monitoring of muscle function, redox response and CD26 expression could contribute together with the health status scales to identify the ME/CFS and to assess its severity. These results were also helped to distinguish the ME/CFS from fibromyalgia because the CD26 activity on PBMC increased in fibromyalgia whereas it was decreased in CFS patients.

A rigid, die cast aluminium cabinet has been used for the IKON Phantom. This will ensure identical working conditions for the 6.5" bass/midrange driver no matter which wall cavity the speaker is mounted in. Inside the cabinet is used a bituminous material to make it inert to resonances. Ribs in the die cast aluminium and the coupling to the MDF baffle will also prevent build-up of resonances.
By using the cabinet, it is possible to use a bass/midrange driver with soft, low loss rubber surround and a spider causing a low resonance frequency for the driver. This would not have been possible without the rear cabinet, because the surround and spider thus would have to be less soft to be able to control the movement of the bass/midrange driver with compromised performance as consequence.
Because of the small form factor of the speaker it is very difficult for standing waves to build-up. Combined with strategically positioned materials inside the cabinet, standing waves are reduced to an absolute minimum.
The amplifier to loudspeaker interface is influenced by the impedance characteristics of the speaker. Loudspeakers with poor impedance characteristics can force amplifiers (stress the amplifier unnecessarily) to perform badly. A stressed amplifier will typically add more distortion to the music.
The IKON Phantom drivers are optimised so that the impedance loads of the loudspeakers are very close to a pure resistive load, minimizing amplifier stress (a flat frequency response above the resonance frequency of the woofer).
The tweeter module in IKON Phantom consist of a 1.1"/28mm soft dome tweeter and a 0.7x1.8"/17x45mm ribbon super tweeter. Two tweeters are used to obtain wide dispersion characteristics and thereby obey the wide dispersion design philosophy. The dispersion from the soft dome tweeter will decrease above 14 kHz, which is normal for a soft dome tweeter. Above that frequency, the ribbon super tweeter will be gently rolled in.
The 1.1"/28mm soft dome tweeter is designed with the strongest magnet material available, namely neodymium. An aluminium heat sink is mounted on the magnet to ensure cooling and increased power handling in the event of large loads of the loudspeaker. Moreover, low viscosity ferrofluid is used in the voice coil gab for even better cooling and lowering of the resonance frequency of the tweeter.
The geometry of the soft dome diaphragm and the surrounding face plate is carefully designed to have optimum dispersion characteristics as well as a smooth frequency response.
All components in the crossover are hardwired to each other to minimize loss and make the most direct connection possible between each component. The alternative would be a printed circuit board, where there would be loss in the copper traces that would connect each component to each other. All components are either glued or strapped/glued to the base plate to avoid mechanical rattle noise, which is prone to occur when the components are subjected to high sound pressure, which can occur inside the loudspeaker cabinet.
The crossover of the loudspeaker is made of high quality components, which are hardwired and glued/strapped on a stable base plate, which will ensure high mechanical strength and eliminate rattle noise from loose components. The inductors of the crossover have a large cross-section to minimize loss and heating of the inductors in the event of high loads of the speaker. The position and direction of the inductors are carefully selected, so the interaction of the electrical fields, which are surrounding the inductors, will interact as little as possible.
The capacitors are either high quality polypropylene foil capacitors or bipolar capacitors. The capacitors have been carefully selected to obtain excellent sonic performance in collaboration with the inductors and the rest of the loudspeaker construction. The resistors used in the crossover are a ceramic power type.
The tweeter module in IKON Phantom consist of a 1.1"/28mm soft dome tweeter and a 0.7x1.8"/17x45mm ribbon super tweeter. Two tweeters are used to obtain wide dispersion characteristics and thereby obey the wide dispersion design philosophy. The ribbon super tweeter has better dispersion characteristics at high frequencies, so it will support the loudspeaker, when listening off axis.
Like in the absolute top of the line loudspeaker, DALI MEGALINE, a ribbon super tweeter is used in DALI IKON Phantom. The ribbon super tweeter is gently rolled in from approximately 14 kHz, where it will support the soft dome tweeter. The ribbon super tweeter is an advanced construction. Three powerful neodymium magnets are used to make the magnet field, which will interact with the electrical field generated by the electrical conductors of the low mass diaphragm. The components of the ribbon tweeter enable very rapid movements of the diaphragm and thereby high bandwidth ranging above the limit of human hearing.
On the rear side of the ribbon tweeter is an acoustical chamber, filled with a material for acoustical treatment. To obtain perfect dispersion characteristics and optimum energy transfer at the highs, a special acoustical lens will lead the energy from the diaphragm to the open. Numerous simulations and experiments have been conducted to carefully optimise the pattern and geometry of the acoustical lens.
The loudspeaker drivers in the IKON series is build on the DALI philosophy about low loss drivers. Consequences of the low loss principle are that all breaking forces and damping mechanisms in the moving parts of the drivers are sought minimized. Also, the moving mass is minimized to be able to make drivers with high bandwidth. As a consequence it is possible for the diaphragms to reproduce small signals from the amplifier. The result is good dynamics, where the fine details in the music are audible. The rubber surround of the 6½" driver is made of a carefully selected soft, low loss material, which do not absorb the energy, which instead will be transformed to air motion.
The cone and dust cap can move very fast, because it is made of a mixture of paper pulp and wooden fibres (a very light composite). The composite is rather stiff, which to some extent will cause break-ups of the cone at certain frequencies. These break-ups are eliminated by using a coating on the cone. The moving parts of the woofer (diaphragm, spider and surround), are mounted in a rigid, die cast aluminium chassis, where air compression has been minimized. This is done to prevent the counteracting forces on the amplifier signal, which are to be reproduced. To reduce air compression further, there is a vent in the yoke of the magnet system, and openings on both sides of the spider.
The magnet system is optimized to obtain low distortion by offering a linear, saturated magnet field. It is essential, that the magnet system does not modulate (as a reaction to the field which is made by the voice coil). The magnet system has been optimised to achieve these characteristics.
Unlike many of our competitors, the sound distribution from the IKON loudspeakers is designed so that if you listen at off axis positions, the frequency characteristics are flat and smooth.
• This will ensure that the timbre is almost the same in a large area of your listening room, meaning that you will not need to be on the exact centre axis to fully enjoy your music.
• The integration between the loudspeaker and the listening room is better, because reflected sound will have almost the same frequency characteristics as sound, which is radiated directly from the loudspeaker. This will cause the sound to be more natural to listen to.
• The wide dispersion characteristics make it unnecessary to toe-in or pivot the speakers so that they are pointing towards a specific listening position.
• Distortion is reduced when the loudspeaker is listened to off axis. Distortion and diffraction phenomena are most pronounced on axis, so you will experience better performance with off-axis listening.

Finding a place for all in the digital world
Socially disadvantaged or disabled Europeans risk being marginalised in an increasingly digitalised world unless policymakers recognise their needs, says the European Disability Forum (EDF).
By Anna McLauchlin
Next month the European Commission, the Latvian government and the Austrian government, holder of the EU presidency, will hold a ministerial conference on e-inclusion, aiming to set the policy agenda for the coming years to make more digital services available to all.
Increasing the number of public sites available online has the potential to reach those people who perhaps are physically unable to go to offices, but only if certain consid-erations are taken into account. The partially sighted, for example, can use websites with speech or magnification software. Deaf people need subtitles when downloading videos, and others need help with the increasingly used voice-recognition software.
In those EU member states that have problems with access to education, the same people that are excluded often do not have the digital literacy to cope with the changing development that is a common feature of using the internet. They need simple, easy-to-follow websites and clear instructions.
Accessibility challenges are relatively simple to solve by using certain coding and layout when building web pages, which are laid out in voluntary guidelines under the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). This global initiative, which is partly EU-funded, aims to encourage collaboration between industry, disability organisations and governments in the field of e-inclusion.
But the problem with voluntary guidelines is that they are not always followed. According to the EDF, only the UK and Italy have so far included the accessibility of websites in their national legislation. "Governments need to think about integrating more access features into all their new eGovernment developments, rather then developing them and then perhaps adapting as an afterthought," says Carlotta Besozzi, EDF director.
EDF is pushing for the European Commission to adopt mandatory legislation on e-inclusion. "Voluntary commitment is not enough," argues Besozzi. "Failure to make eGovernment accessible to all is often not even bad will on the part of the public sector; they just don't know about it."
She adds that until e-inclusion becomes an obligation, there is also reluctance by governments to follow the guidelines because of the extra cost of involved in developing accessible services.
The European Commission admits that "widespread understanding of the issues and opportunities surrounding e-inclusion, and take-up of good examples is not yet evident", despite a communication on the accessibility for public websites that was adopted in 2002.
"E-inclusion is an important aspect of eGovernment, and one of the real problems is that eGovernment services don't just need computer access, they need broadband access," says a spokesman.
In January this year, broadband was taken up by 13% of the EU population, or 25% of households, mostly in urban and suburban areas. Nationally, the highest penetration rates – above 20% of the population – are seen in the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland, but in the new member states, Ireland and Greece, less than 5% of the population had broadband in October 2005. Ministers are expected to lay out their political intentions in a declaration after the conference in Riga on 11-13 June. Representatives of civil society and industry will also attend.

Maserati to challenge supercar rivals with MC20
Andrea Malan
Maserati says the MC20's turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine can propel the car from 0 to 62 mph in less than 2.9 seconds.
MODENA, Italy -- Maserati is challenging Ferrari and Lamborghini in the supercar class with the the 621-hp MC20, which it claims offers a better power-to-weight ratio than its Italian rivals.
The MC20's 3.0-liter V-6 turbocharged gasoline engine, built by Maserati, also produces 538 pound-feet of torque.
Production of the coupe version of the MC20, Maserati's most powerful series model to date, is scheduled to start at the end of the year, with orders being taken starting Wednesday. Deliveries will start in 2021. A convertible version and a battery-electric version will be launched in 2022.
The MC20 will start at $230,000 and is expected to compete against the Ferrari F8 Tributo and Lamborghini Huracan.
The coupe version of the MC20 with a conventional internal-combustion powertrain was shown Wednesday during an event at Maserati headquarters here.
MC stands for Maserati Corse (corsa is Italian for racing) and the 20 refers to 2020. The car has both visual and conceptual references to the MC12, which marked the automaker's racing comeback in 2004. Maserati has said the MC20 will form the basis of a racing effort.
The MC20 is the first Maserati to use the new 3.0-liter V-6 engine, code-named Nettuno. Maserati says the MC20 can go from 0 to 62 mph in less than 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of more than 203 mph. It has an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission.
The MC20 weighs less than 3,300 pounds, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 5.3 pounds/hp, which Maserati says is best in its class.
The MC20's carbon-fiber monocoque structure was designed in partnership with Dallara, and it will form the basis for the convertible and electric versions, as well, Maserati said.
The monocoque's architecture and geometry are the same for all three versions, but differ in the distribution of the carbon fibers and layers, to provide different structural characteristics. The focus of the coupe will be on light weight and performance; the convertible demands greater torsional rigidity due to the absence of a roof; and the electric version will have more overall strength and enhanced protection for the battery area.
The MC20 design was inspired by the brand's historic identity, Maserati said. It features butterfly doors, Maserati said, to "improve the car's ergonomics and enable optimal access to and from the cabin."
The MC20's designers divided the car into two parts: an upper part where stylistic considerations predominate and a more technically focused lower part. In the car's upper section, the aerodynamic features are integrated into the lines conceived by designers, to achieve high efficiency without interfering with the sleek bodywork.
In-house powerplant
The Nettuno engine signals the company's return to producing its own powerplants after a hiatus of more than 20 years. Maserati now buys both V-8 and V-6 engines from Ferrari.
The procurement contract with Ferrari expires this year, and Maserati Executive Chairman Harald Wester announced in April 2019 that it would not be extended. A Maserati spokesman said the phase-out date for Ferrari-built engines will depend on the model.
The MC20 will be assembled in Modena, where the brand's models have been built for more than 80 years. The new production line has replaced those of the GranTurismo and GranCabrio models, discontinued in November 2019. The site also has a new paint shop.
The Nettuno engine will also be built in Modena, at the newly established Maserati Engine Lab.

The Pamela Erere Foundation(PEF) serves the needy in the Lagos-Ibadan.Metropolex, including other states like Delta, Edo and around the country,24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Founder/President PEF (Jennifer M Akporehe) and Director Of Operations PEF International (Geraldine Morris)
Our compassionate donors/volunteers care for and support our friends and neighbors (these helpless women and children) who face the worst moments of their lives due to poverty, death of a loved one or illiteracy. The Pamela Erere Foundation (PEF) in Lagos, Nigeria works with Pamela Erere Foundation National Headquarters in Dallas TX. and the Golden Aid Project network to serve our neighbors down the street, across the country and around the world.Our mission at the Pamela Erere Foundation empowers people to become survivors. Through trainings and reinforcing preparedness steps, knowledge becomes action and action saves lives. Discover the Pamela Erere Foundation and the people behind the mission in our community
The founder was from a divorced home and both her and her late sister always talked about how they could help poor children and their mothers that couldn't provide for themselves. They were always thought by their parents to be grateful for what they had and knew that not all kids could afford the day to day necessities like food, clothing etc. PEF is not just a project for the founder Jennifer M. Akporehe, but she sees it as a way of fulfilling a dream that she and Pamela once shared. It is a charity very close to her heart because of the history it carries and the meaning it has. "Pamela Erere Foundation to me is an extention of my sister; I will treat it like I would her" Jennifer M. Akporehe
The Pamela Erere foundation (PEF), was founded by Chairperson Jennifer Mairo Akporehe. Named after her late older sister Pamela Ereremena Emerhana who before her premature demise had a passion for helping others.
The Pamela Erere Foundation (PEF) is a non-governmental organization whose objectives are to aid five major categories of people. They include;
Children from divorced homes
Children raised by single mothers
Divorced women,
A lot of attention is focused on other areas but not everyone seems to realize the damage that this divorce/single parenting epidemic brings on us as a society. The Pamela Erere Foundation sees the exact opposite. The importance of children as the leaders of tomorrow cannot be overemphasized and with the rise in premarital births and divorce the world over, the world needs to be informed about the hazards of this status quo. This is particularly crucial in a country like Nigeria where a single mother/ divorced woman is seen as a disgrace, Or where widows are made to fend for themselves once the bread winner of a family is demised. Not even the children in these situations are spared. They get to live with the stigma day in day out.
The Pamela Erere foundation will situate in Lagos Nigeria, with its international office in Dallas TX
The goal of the Pamela Erere Foundation is to provide equal love, and opportunities for every mother and child that falls into the afore mentioned categories and to end the epidemic of women and children suffering at the hands of the society due to circumstances beyond their control
HOW WE PLAN TO ACHIEVE THIS
The PEF helps provide basic amenities such as mosquito nets,food,clothing,shoes, bags, books, household items etc. that is donated by supporters of the charity in the United States and Nigeria. These items may be used or new and will be distributed to the needy women and children throughout the year.(This is our most popular aspect of the giving process)
Children's fees would also be paid and for those who want to learn handwork like carpentry, tailoring, hairdressing etc. The foundation would also assist. Children would also be encouraged in extracurricular activities like sports, music, dance, art etc.
Women would be encouraged to become independent by acquiring their High School Diploma. Vocational training would also be sponsored. Once they can earn a living, they would get off the program making room for other needy people.
Mentorship classes would be held by positive role models, celebrities, public speakers etc periodically.
