Tania Vaughan: Do you know how important you are?
This morning I sat - staring into a cup of coffee trying hard to ignore the mess around me - Oh! the joy of having a new kitchen fitted. And now I'm late!
Tuesday morning's I visit an elderly lady and in 5 years I've never been late without calling ahead - I hate being late, in fact usually I'm early, but today I'm late.
And so I arrive, late, only 15 minutes, but late and find my dear lady rather upset. Thinking something must have happened or maybe she's unwell we sit to chat. Do you know what she tells me? She was worried, in that short 15 minutes she had worried that perhaps I'd had an accident, or some catastrophe or was unwell.
Whilst I was selfishly throwing myself a little pity party into my coffee cup, she was worrying.
It hit me! Like a train.
That weekly visit was important to her, I wasn't just the home help, she cared about me.
While I stressed and fussed over the house looking like a building site, I had caused someone else worry. What a waste, what was the point?
And what about the girlfriends I haven't caught up with for the last couple of weeks because I've been too busy, too tired or just stressed.
No wonder I'm stressed I have put aside any relaxation, any time for a coffee and a chat with those dear friends that love me.
These are the not eternal things, what I'm neglecting impacts eternity.
Even God, time with Him, has been pushed aside to try and keep on top of the mess or to decorate this bit or that. Priority has gone askew and somewhere at the bottom of the pile is relationships. No wonder I am exhausted. God is priority for a reason, God encourages relationships for a reason.
So today I have learnt that I am important to many people around me and when my routine gets knocked out or I don't make time for them, it affects them. What I do affects people around me because they care. How much more important then am I to God. He worries when I'm stressed, He misses me when I have no time, because he cares.
Yes, it's biblical to look after the home but the eternal stuff, the spirit enriching things, come from relationships.
Take stock of those around you, is there someone you need to text, call or go and have a coffee with? Do it, do it now.
I enjoyed your post on how your life and decisions affect others. I also know what it is like to get caught up in the things of life and not make time for God. But I always find my way back to God and quickly because He is a priority in my life.


Blend of linseed stand oil and dammar varnish, with drying agent. Add approximately 10-20% to oil colours, to create deep gloss and depth, especially to transparent colours. Speeds drying time (typically 1-2 days for thin/flat paint films). Dilute as required with turpentine or Shellsol T low odour mineral solvent.


Matsol library serves as a referential implementation of those algorithms. Variants of FETI and BETI known for their parallel and numerical scalability are used for domain decomposition. The resulting class of QP problems are solved using our special QP algorithms. The unique feature of them is their capability to solve these QP problems with a bounded spectrum in O(1) iterations. Theory yields the error bounds that are independent of conditioning of constraints and the results are valid even for linearly dependent equality constraints.
To parallelize the algorithms, MATLAB® Distributed Computing Server™ and Parallel Computing Toolbox™ are used. Hence, the MatSol has full functionality to solve efficiently large problems of mechanics.
The solution process starts from the model which is either already in the model database or it is converted to the model database from the standard commercial and non-commercial preprocessors like ANSA, ANSYS, COMSOL, etc. The list of preprocessing tools is not limited and any of the new ones can be simply plugged into the library by creating a proper database convertor.
The preprocessing part continues in MatSol depending on the solved problem. User can solve static or transient analysis, optimization problems, problems in linear and nonlinear elasticity, and contact problems.
For discretization, the finite or boundary element methods are used. As the domain decomposition techniques, the FETI or BETI methods are implemented. The decomposition into subdomains is done using Metis and spectral methods.
The solution process could be run either in sequential or parallel mode. The solution algorithms are implemented in such a way that the code is the same for both sequential and parallel mode. MatSol library also includes tools for postprocessing and postplotting. The results of the problem are then through the model database converted into the modeling tools for further postprocessing.
Modeling and simulation of large scale problems in structural mechanics.
Highly scalable implementation based on domain decomposition.


Robyn Schneider's moving and entertaining novel Invisible Ghosts is now available at audible. It was narrated by the wonderful @grshalan and is a great listen.
Robyn Schneider, author of Extraordinary Means and The Beginning of Everything, delivers a sharply funny, romantic girl-meets-boy novel with a twist: boy-also-meets-girl's-ghost-brother.
When one girl's best friend is her dead brother's ghost, romance can be tricky. Perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon.

The Mystery of the Carnac Stones
The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the French village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany. They are the largest such collection in the world, however their purpose has never been discovered.
The Carnac Stones consist of both single standing stones (menhirs) and multistone clusters (dolmens). The main group of stone alignments involves 12 converging rows of standing stones stretching more than a kilometre with the remains of a stone circle at either end. The largest stones, around 4m high, are at the western end and they become smaller along the length of the alignment reaching around 0.6m in height.
It is thought that the stones were erected during the Neolithic period which lasted from 4500 BC until 2000 BC, but in reality archaeologists have had great difficulty in establishing accurate dates as little material was found beneath them that could be used for radiocarbon dating.
Local myth states that a Roman legion was on the march when the wizard Merlin turned them into stone. Since then, a wide variety of theories have been put forward to explain the purpose of these mysterious stones. One researcher who studied the stones purported that they may have been an elaborate earthquake detector. Another interpretation is that the stones were erected by ancient people to honour their ancestors, still others think they were astronomical in nature.
If the stones were in fact tied in with astronomy, it is possible that they acted as calendars and observatories, so that ancient farmers knew the seasons and when to plant and harvest their crops and the priests could foretell phenomena such as eclipses of the sun and moon. Alexander Thom, who has surveyed many megaliths in Britain and France, believes that Carnac was a huge lunar observatory.
Research is going on now to try to find out if these stone markings served as sites for astronomy or whether they were aligned with the Sun or Moon in a special way. But for now, their true purpose remains elusive.

I was thinking they might be markers of lanes for 'races' or procession. But then I recall the Stone Money on some Pacific island. Big rocks that 'change hands' as a way of payment between people/clans.

Woody Harrelson Breaks Up With Cannabis
Staff March 25, 2017 Zenpype Buzz Your opinion matters!
Actor Woody Harrelson, one of the most well known celebrity stoners, has decided to break up with cannabis after a three decade long love affair. Don't worry, they're still friends. The 55 year old actor, known for his roles in Cheers, and True Detective, claims that he actually quit using cannabis almost a year ago.
He still loves cannabis though.
"I don't have a problem at all with smoking. I think it's great. I think it's a great drug, in terms of… Even cops say that the side effect is euphoria. Or the … what do you call it?… The effect of it is euphoria. But when you're doing it all the time, it just becomes… Well, you know. I feel like it was keeping me from being emotionally available,"
he said in an interview with Vulture.
Woody Harrelson has been a vocal proponent of cannabis legalization for thirty years, using his celebrity status as a platform to fight for legalization. He even served on the board of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). He hasn't said that he's going to stop fighting for the cause, and I would not expect him to. In his words, he was partying "too fucking hard."
I have no doubt that Harrelson will continue to support cannabis legalization, though he probably won't be focusing on it as much as he did in the nineties and early 2000's. That is perfectly fine. As far as I'm concerned, he's done more than his fair share to help the cause. I also think it's pretty cool that he still has the same attitude toward cannabis as he did before. How many ex-drinkers do you know of who say, "Yeah I quit drinking, but alcohol is still awesome"?
Regardless whether he uses cannabis or not, Woody Harrelson is still one of the coolest actors in Hollywood. His new movie Wilson will be out in theaters this weekend, and you should probably go check it out.

Be Like Mike
Eric Celeste December 19, 2002 4:00AM
Everyone has a favorite Michael Jordan story. Except me. I am one of the world's few basketball fans who believe Jordan is overrated. Yes, I think he was the greatest player in NBA history, but not by as wide a margin as his fans would have us believe. They want you to remember his flair for big-game heroics, recalling his shot over Craig Ehlo against Cleveland to beat them in the playoffs. They would have you forget that Jordan had to hit that shot because Ehlo had just gone around him to score at the other end. They want you to remember that it was his shot that beat Utah to claim the Chicago Bulls' most recent championship. Fine, but allow that he fouled Karl Malone to strip the ball--an overhand slap at the ball is always called a foul in the NBA, unless Jordan is the one slapping--and he pushed off to create his final shot. Also recall that he shared in championships because of game-winning shots by guys like John Paxson and Steve Kerr. In other words, Jordan may be the greatest player the game has ever seen, but he is not greater than the game itself.
Sadly, Jordan, who turns 40 in February, no longer realizes this. You wouldn't know it from reading or watching or listening to the East Coast media. Every time he manages a dunk these days, an ESPN anchor yells, "Jordan proving his critics wrong, as always!"...or something to that effect. I didn't catch SportsCenter this past Sunday night, but I wonder if they rejoiced at the highlight of his only basket--in a season-high 40 minutes played. Yet Jordan, who scolded the media for suggesting that his two-point outburst was less than Jordan-like, sees nothing wrong with the fact that he takes up valuable minutes on a Washington Wizards team that needs to develop its young players. He sees someone who should play nearly a full game even though he is averaging at or near career lows in points, rebounds, assists and free-throw percentage. If he looked more closely, he would see only a shadow of his former self.
In fact, if you want to see one of the best 6-foot-6 guards in the game this Monday when the Wizards visit the Dallas Mavericks, you need to look not at Jordan but at the man opposite him at shooting guard. Michael Finley will never be the player Jordan was, but he is a better basketball player now, someone who doesn't let his ego get in the way of the team's success. Finley, who used to be the only stud on the Mavs, now lets the offense run through Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki as often as it runs through him.
So if you're within the throng at American Airlines Center this week cheering Jordan's every made 18-foot jump shot, shame on you. You're doing a disservice to the game and the memory of the dominating player who was MJ. And you're ignoring a better player, one who suits up in Mavs home white.

AcademicsEdu Business NewsEdu Events
Bengaluru: Themed `Future of Work', the program witnessed participation of Industry Leaders like Mr. V Balakrishnan, Chairman, Micrograam and Mr. Krishnakumar N, Executive Chairman, Mindtree Ltd.
ICT Academy is a not for profit social Enterprise initiated in the year 2009 under the public – private partnership model, by the Government of India in collaboration with the State Governments and Industries.

"Disruptive innovations and advanced technologies are creating new industries, methods and models, thereby destroying the old ones. New technologies including Data Analytics, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Mobility and Social Networks are having a huge impact on how people communicate, collaborate and work. As generations collide, workforces become more diverse and people work longer; traditional career models may soon be a thing of the past. Many of the roles and job titles of tomorrow will be ones we've not even thought of yet. This brings in huge responsibilities for all stakeholders in education to develop and deploy strategies for preparing the right talent for the future global opportunities. This conference is the first step towards addressing such issues and finding solutions" said Mr. B. Anbuthambi, VP, ICT Academy.
"Bangalore which has become a digital hub has prompted an exceptional increment in the IT field and thereby in the future of work. To re-emphasis and stabilize in this novice area, there needs to be an understanding of Future of Work. `BRIDGE – Future of Work' featured organizations and experts doing innovative, pioneering work in developing the future workforce. It is the only event meant to address the stakeholders and leaders in the process of bridging the industry & academia towards the Future of Work," said Mr. M Siva kumar, CEO, ICT Academy
BRIDGE is a confluence of Educators, Researchers, Corporate, Solution Providers, NGOs and Policy Makers to find possible solutions and answers to some of the most challenging, critical and relevant questions we face in the journey towards transforming India.

Hadmels DeFrias was convicted of fondlong boys in Elizabeth.
NBC News reported Friday that Hadmels DeFrias says he's no longer a threat and doesn't "see the children with those eyes anymore."
DeFrias, who is originally from the Dominican Republic, was accused of fondling the boys, who were both under 14, in 2001 and 2002 at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Elizabeth. He pleaded guilty to criminal sexual contact in 2004.
A New Jersey judge sentenced him to three years of probation and he was permanently barred from contact with children in the state.
DeFrias told NBC News that he did not inform his new employer in the Dominican Republic about his criminal history because the crimes did not happen in that country.


The search continues for a 26-year-old man arrested in a Winona County drug raid who walked away from Community Memorial Hospital in Winona.
Winona County sheriff's investigator Craig Glover said Michael Goodwin was discovered missing from his hospital room Tuesday afternoon.
He was being treated for self-inflicted injuries to one or both wrists, which happened after he was arrested in a drug bust Saturday.
During the drug raid, authorities seized more than $10,000 in cash along with several ounces of cocaine and about 10 pounds of marijuana.
Glover wouldn't comment on how Goodwin escaped from the hospital. Authorities believe he may try to flee to Chicago.
Two men arrested with Glover were charged with felonies Monday.

Eric Sands and Sam Bergman with Huntington head coach Ron Wilson and throwing consultant Haidee Ganz-Bonhurst.
Huntington High School will be well represented at Saturday's New York State Intersectional Track & Field Championships at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex at Staten Island.
Eric Sands and Sam Bergman are competing in the weight throw, which is essentially an indoor hammer throw. In the boys' event, the weight is a 25 lb. ball, larger in size than a shot put. It is encircled by bands connected to a handle that the athletes grip. Competitors typical spin several times before launching it.
Freshmen Jason Turner and Anthony Joseph, junior Jonathan Smith and senior Alex LaBella have qualified for the state championships in the 4x200m relay. Smith has also qualified in the 600m run.
At last year's indoor state championships, Huntington's Lawrence Leake ran one of the fastest 600m times in the nation to capture third place.
After some early setbacks this winter, the season turned around for Smith and his teammates. "It started off not that good for me or the team, but we all still continued to work hard and just progressed in whatever we do," he said.
The Blue Devils have one of the best young teams in the state. Huntington is loaded with underclassmen who are filled with potential in both running and field events.

Skiing in Orange County? Here's how a group of friends made it happen
ByDavid González
A Newport Beach resident found a winter wonderland when he decided to go skiing. He and his friends didn't have to travel far to find snow.
ORANGE COUNTY (KABC) -- Skiing in California may not seem like a big deal -- until you find out the mountain is in Orange County.
Spencer Buchanan found a winter wonderland Monday when he decided to go skiing. The Newport Beach resident and his friends didn't have to travel far to find snow.
Buchanan had hoped weather conditions on Saddleback Mountain, also known as Santiago Peak and the highest point in Orange County, would be just right as a storm moved through the area at the beginning of the week.
"It gets snow like once a year and the snow only last for a couple hours, so we had to time it right," said Buchanan. "It says it'll rain but it was going to be cold enough. So we drove up, I guess it was Sunday night, and then camped up there, had a miserable night, slept about an hour or two in a van."
On Monday, he said the group trekked about 10 miles through mud and water in search of enough snow.
"We hiked as high as we could, which was probably 5,000 feet," Buchanan said. "We finally got to a point where we thought we wouldn't completely destroy our skis even though we mostly destroyed our skis."
His friend, Julian Doyle, was just as excited.
"I didn't really expect it to be that much snow but it was like Big Bear," he said.
Doyle said the views were spectacular.
"It was super foggy above us and it was all snowy and then you look down and it's just look like a normal sunny day down in Newport or Long Beach or wherever," he said.
Tower cam footage on Wednesday morning from the top of Santiago Peak showed some snow still on the ground.
Buchanan said it goes to show that anything is possible in the OC.
"We didn't ski too far but we're still about to say that we skied Orange County," he said.
Buchanan and his friends said the hike was not easy and do not recommend it to anyone who does not have any hiking experience.
They said they're ready for their next adventure the next time it snows in Orange County.

Japanese, Western Social Robots Mirror Cultural Differences
Industry might seem like a universal language, but how different cultures are husbanding their robots shows there are several dialects.


The Greyhound is a tall, slender dog. The head is long and narrow, wide between the ears, with a long tapering muzzle. There is no stop. The small rose ears are held back and folded, and are semi-perked when they are excited. The eyes are dark in color. The slightly arched neck is long. The legs are long with the front legs being perfectly straight. The chest is wide and deep. The long tail tapers with a slight upward curve. The short, fine coat comes in all colours.
The Greyhound is brave and devoted. Intelligent, laid-back, charming and loving, its character is often undervalued because of its reserved behavior toward strangers and even its master. Greyhounds are sensitive to the tone of one's voice and will not listen if they sense that they are stronger minded than their owner, however they will also not respond well to harsh discipline. Owners need to be calm, yet possess an air of natural authority. Socialize well to prevent timidity. As a rule, they are gentle and even-tempered—both racing lines and show lines. Most Greyhounds have a definite prey drive. It is instinctive for these dogs to chase anything that moves quickly. They are extremely fast and some will kill cats and other domestic animals, although this is not the majority (only about 20% of ex-racers are too "keen" on chasing prey to ever be safe with small animals). About 10% are immediately okay due to low prey instinct, and the rest can be trained to leave cats and other small pets in the home alone. They seldom present difficulties with other dogs and are normally good with children, though they do not usually like roughhouse play, and would not be a good choice for young children who are looking for a playmate. Indoors, these dogs are calm and sociable to a point where they can even be considered lazy. They bond strongly with their own people, have tremendous stamina, and do not bark much. Show lines tend to be of a different body style than racing lines, and are often more angulated. Racing lines are bred for performance, but often a good by-product is that they are friendly, outgoing dogs that make wonderful pets when their racing days are over. Greyhounds are not particularly vigilant. Show lines tend to be a bit heavier and bred more for temperament than racing lines, which are bred for speed. However, racing lines also make wonderful pets. There are hundreds of adoption groups all over North America, Europe and Australia to place these gentle, loving dogs when they retire. Retired racing Greyhounds are not usually difficult to housebreak. They are already crate trained from the track, so it doesn't take them long to learn that they are not to "go" in the house. The Greyhound needs an even-tempered, gentle but firm loving owner who knows how to consistently communicate the rules of the home. A Greyhound that knows his place in his pack and what is expected of him is a happy Greyhound.
Prone to bloat. It is better to feed them 2 or 3 small meals rather than one large one. They are sensitive to drugs, including insecticides. It is said that they are also prone to hypothyroidism, however it is also believed that a Greyhounds' thyroid levels are naturally lower than most dogs and many people put them on unnecessary treatment for hypothyroidism – at much harm to the dog – upon recommendation from an uneducated vet. There is only one way to truly confirm if a greyhound actually has hypothyroidism, and that is to have a complete thyroid panel done (Michigan State University thyroid panel). There is an excellent book by Cynthia Branigan, "Adopting the Racing Greyhound", which has a whole chapter on it.
Greyhounds that are kept as pets should have regular opportunities to run free on open ground in a safe area, as well as daily long, brisk walks, where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead. In a dog's mind the leader leads the way and that leader needs to be the human. Greyhounds love a regular routine.
Litter size varies greatly in this breed. From 1 to 12 puppies with the average of 8 born in one litter.
This very ancient breed is the fastest dog in the world and can reach speeds of over 40 miles per hour (65 km/h). Carvings of the Greyhound were found in tombs in Egypt dating back to 2900 B.C. They are thought to have originally descended from the Arabian Sloughi and brought to England by traders before 900 AD. The breed was first brought to America by the Spanish explorers in the 1500s. They were one of the first dogs ever to be shown in a dog show. The Greyhound's natural quarry are the rabbit and hare, however it has also been used to hunt stag, deer, fox and wild boar. The dog's speed along with its keen eyesight helped it excel at its work. The dogs were able to chase and catch the pray without stopping to rest. Today there are two types of Greyhounds being bred: Show lines, which conform to the written standard and racing lines, bred for speed. After retiring from a racing career, these dogs were often destroyed. With the dedicated efforts of Greyhound Rescue this practice has greatly reduced and the most mellow-tempered Greyhounds are found homes. The Greyhound was recognized by the AKC in 1885. The Greyhound's talents include hunting, sighting, watchdog, racing, agility and lure coursing.

Logistic Records is an electronic music label based in France. In ten years, Logistic has developed many projects and collaborations to constitute an over seventy references discography.The creation of the label in 1995 in Montpellier by Alexandre Petit and Éric Dalbin was the answer to their hunger for techno music which reflects their principal influences: hip-hop, jazz and funk. Since, the groove is at the center of every Logistic release. Supporting quality over quantity, the artistic direction of the label rests on solid bonds with its artists. Then the meeting with John Thomas, a young French musician and African rhythms, was the beginning of a collaboration that lasts since the birth of the label and generated twenty-three record releases. Americans Robert Hood and Daniel Bell are other good representatives of the label. From another collaboration, with Jean-Guillaume Cabanne, was born in 1999 the Telegraph division. Always impregnated of funk and dance-floor oriented, the Telegraph productions are dissociated by a more daring experimentation on sounds and rhythms.

Q: Which performs better, a 20mm or a 25mm Fork Cartridge Kit?
Max: First and most important is the differences between 20 and 25mm cartridges. The 25mm cartridge is all hype in my opinion. I don't think they are better than 20mm, or else I would be building 25mm cartridges, not 20mm. We do have 25mm Axxion Valve Kits (not cartridges) for Ohlins forks, KYB forks, and Showa forks now. The first myth about 25mm cartridges is that they "move more fluid", and as a result, you have "more fluid to control". This is not true. Fork cartridges work by creating pressure differentials in the fork, and then by fluid displacement. To simplify: If you have a bathtub full of water, and you get into it, water spills out. That is fluid displacement. If you had the tub covered with a lid, and a hole big enough for you to get into, you still couldn't get in, because you couldn't displace any water. If you opened the drain, you would create a route of escape for the water, and you could then get into the tub. If you crammed yourself into the capped tub, you would increase the pressure in the tub, and then force water out of the drain hole at a much faster rate. So that is pressure differential and fluid displacement in crude terms. In a fork cartridge, the only thing displacing fluid is the rod that is entering it. In aftermarket 25mm kits, they have a 12.5mm rod. GSXR1000s have a 12.5mm rod with a 20mm cartridge. If both forks move 100mm which displaces more fluid? Neither. They are the SAME. Back to the bathtub, if a 175 pound man gets into a full bathtub of water (i.e. 20mm cartridge), he will displace "One Man's Worth" of water. If the same man gets into a 40,000 gallon swimming pool (i.e. 2000mm cartridge) he will STILL ONLY DISPLACE "One Man's Worth" of water. The reason properly built 25mm cartridges don't work as well as properly built 20mm cartridges is that a "pressure differential" has to take place inside of, and outside of, the cartridge before any damping can occur. Due to the increased volume of oil (and air) inside the 25mm cartridge, it takes a longer period of time (and distance) for damping to occur. This results in more drop and dive, and a longer time before damping occurs each time the fork changes directions. So, what is more critical than the diameter of the cartridge tube is the relationship of the diameter of the rod to the diameter of the tube it rides in. Note that Yoshimura and Honda have had some noteworthy success using 20mm pistons, which includes most of the Superbike and Supersport Championships in the US in the last ??? years. By choice, the Axxion Cartridges will be 12.5mm rod with a 20mm tube. A second negative byproduct with 25mm cartridges is a massive increase in unsprung weight. The body of the cartridge is bolted to the leg of the fork and that is weight that has to move up and down. 20mm is simply and inarguably better in this respect. This is why your axle is hollow, and your brake caliper bolts are gun-drilled. In fact, why Suzuki went to 10mm head pinch bolts instead of 12mm head pinch bolts. They are trying to shave FRACTIONS OF GRAMS off of the forks to improve response. So it doesn't make sense to add a POUND back on!
Q: How much does increasing the diameter of a thin wall aluminum tube by 5mm really make? And what about the increased size on the damper rod?
Max: There is a significant increase in the weight of the cartridge because you have actually added about 20% more material to the tube itself. As bad or worse than that, the slugs of aluminum at either end that hold the compression valve and the bearing assembly are WAY heavier since they are solid parts, and have increased in size almost DOUBLE (cross sectional area increase is much greater than wall thickness of a tube increase). The increase in the weight of the rod is NOT critical because the rod is sprung mass, not unsprung mass.
Q: Don't most bikes come from the factory with 10mm damping rods, with the exception of the GSXR1000?
Max: As far as rods go, it is a hodgepodge of rod sizes from 10, 12 and 12.5. GSXR750s have been 12mm since 1996. The 04 600s now have the same 12mm rods. There are lots of 10s out there.
Q: Wouldn't the rebound valves be larger on a 25mm cartridge and doesn't the rebound valve assembly also displace fluid?
Max: An interesting thing to note is that the relationship of the size of the rod and bore in the 25mm aftermarket cartridges. The rod is 12.5 and the bore is 25, which is 2:1. This is similar to a 20mm cartridge with a 10mm rod. I believe it is better to have a relationship that is lower than 2:1. I have seen some kit Showa parts from Japan that used a 25mm piston, but the rod was bigger than 12.5mm (I can't say how much bigger…haha!). I think Ohlins is aware of this problem with their cartridges, as they are going to a bigger rod. I don't know if they are available to the public yet. As far as the 25mm rebound piston displacing more fluid, it does not. It is already submerged in the oil, and moves in it. It does not displace any more or less fluid as a result. Again, only the rod entering and leaving the cartridge has any effect.
Q: Are there note more tuning options available with larger diameter rebound valves?
Max: As far as there being more options to tune with a larger valve, that isn't true either. The combinations are basically mathematically infinite regardless of piston diameter. Any number of hundreds of shim diameters and then shim thicknesses could be combined in any sequence on either configuration.
Q: How will the Axxion Cartridge be different or better than any stock or aftermarket cartridge?
Max: The Axxion Cartridges will have all damping surfaces hold a tolerance of .0005" (one half of one thousandth of an inch…). They will be highly polished aircraft aluminum, and then hard coat anodized. This prevents contamination of the fork oil by oxidation. The bearing design is a never before seen setup that will help seal the cartridge to improve low speed damping and response time, and will virtually eliminating stiction. To go to extremes to create the least unsprung weight possible, the top out spring will be attached to the rebound mechanism, instead of to the cartridge tube like other designs. What is included in the Axxion Cartridge Kit? Each kit will include AK20 Cartridges, our innovative Omni Springs to suit your weight and intended use, with pre-cut spring spacers, new fork caps (if required), and our AK20 cartridge tool for removal and installation.
Q: What are Omni Springs and what are the advantages of using them over other aftermarket spring kits?
Max: Omni Springs are different in that we have one spring that fits most bikes. All Omni Springs are manufactured from lightweight chrome silicon spring steel and are guaranteed for life to be within 2% of the claimed rate. Instead of fitting springs by OD to the tube they ride in, we slide a "buffer" down the center of a lightweight spring to hold it square while it compresses. All other brands of springs drag the steel wall of the tube they ride in. This creates a black oxidation in your oil. Worse than that, the spring "flakes" tiny chips into the oil, which invariably get caught in your compression valves. This results in poor damping and performance.
Q: Are there any other advantages to the Axxion Cartridge kit?
Max: One additional benefit of the Axxion Cartridge Kit is you will not have to ship your forks out if you don't want to. This will save time, and risk of potential damage and loss from shippers (although it is very rare). Since the kits use our world famous Axxion Valves, we already know baseline setups and adjustments, so you won't be "in the dark" at the track, even if I am not personally there to help you. One other great byproduct is that you can remove your Axxion Cartridges, and use them in your next bike by having us retrofit (if needed) them to suit another model. Being that the Axxion Cartridge can be easily transferred to a different bike with little to no modification the savings over a couple years could be very substantial. You can also put your forks back to stock easily when it comes time to sell your bike.


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (NV-03) introduced a resolution that would authorize the Office of the General Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives to intervene in a pending federal lawsuit on behalf of the House to defend the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act's coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions. The resolution is co-sponsored by the Ranking Members of all House committees of jurisdiction in addition to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer.
In June, the Trump Administration's Justice Department effectively announced it will no longer defend key parts of the ACA that prevent insurance companies from charging more to cover pre-existing conditions or denying coverage altogether. According to the Center for American Progress, approximately 1.2 million Nevadans have a pre-existing medical condition. Last week, Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a similar Senate resolution authorizing the Senate Legal Counsel to intervene in Texas vs. United States.

Everett Phipps Babcock (1874–1928) was an architect who worked in the Washington and California.
Babcock worked with Ambrose J. Russell (1857–1938) in Tacoma, Washington, on distinguished residences in various styles. The firm completed the Washington Governor's Mansion in Olympia. Their work also included the Colonial Revival William Ross Rust House for W.R. Rust (William Ross Rust, then President of the Tacoma Smelter and Refining) in Tacoma, Washington and the George Gower House (1906).
Everett Babcock also worked in Wallace Neff's office in California. While there he designed the Singer Building (Pasadena, California), built for the Singer Sewing Company in 1926, and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Everett Babcock also built his own residence, a French-Normandy style manor, in 1926. The entry includes a tower staircase and Batchelder tile risers, and there are arched doorways, a formal dining room, butler's pantry, dormer windows, and fireplaces in the living room and masterbedroom. The four bedroom four bathroom house has 4,690 square feet and was owned by Rob Schneider until being put up for sale in 2009.
Everett Babcock was the architect for the residence of Mrs. Col. Herman Hall in Sierra Madre, California. He also designed the Casa Torre Garden Court at 611-627 East California Boulevard in Pasadena, a two story L-shaped Spanish Revival style apartment building that is included in An architectural guidebook to Los Ángeles by David Gebhard and Robert Winter. He was also an architect for William Jarvis Earl's estate in La Canada.
Babcock married Bliss Clara Mae Delano in 1908. He died on May 16, 1928 during a routine tonsils removal operation, in Pasadena, California.

Mexico is a free market economy with several key sectors. The openness of the economy is mainly because of the free trade agreements it has engaged in.
The NAFTA region composed of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is quite the success story. It is because of the extensive trade between these three countries why exports of each country has grown.
Mexico is one of the four founding members of the PA. The PA is an economic trade bloc that seeks to remove barriers in trade between member states (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru).
The TPP is an ongoing free trade agreement which aims to enhance trade and investment among the TPP countries, promote innovation, economic growth and development, as well as support the creation and retention of jobs.
Exports of aerospace in Mexico have increased. Manufacturing facilities have also been established in Mexico.
However, without a strong domestic supporting industry for the aerospace sector, opportunities in complex machining and surface treatment will still be present.
In 2014, Mexico exported 2.7 million units consisting of 124 k of heavy vehicles and 2.6 units of light vehicles. in the same year, there were 33 OEMs and plus 800 automobile parts and components companies established in Mexico. Over a period of 5 years, (from 2010 to 2014), Mexico's vehicle production rate overtook that of the US and Canada. Today Mexico stands in 7th position worldwide in vehicle production.
Strong industry players such as Ford, Toyota, Honda, Renault, Nissan Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen and many others have manufacturing facilities in Mexico, mainly in the north and central regions.
Mexico is considered as one of the biggest producers of oil in the whole world. Daily crude oil production reaches up 2.5 million barrels. Regardless of this though, there has been a decline in the production since 2004 and this has been a cause for concern.
Because oil prices are at an all-time high, this will spark motivation for people to exploit oil reserves more. A concrete example for this would be PEMEX, the 8th largest oil and gas company in the world. The company has overtaken other leading foreign companies. Heavy crude oil supply remains to be an important aspect in the global economy. The country ranks 9th in crude oil reserves, and 4th in natural gas reserves.
Public companies operating in the Mexican energy sector employed almost 250,000 workers in 2013.
Hence, Mexico holds great potential for investment mainly in its auto and energy sectors. Its free trade environment makes it inviting while its production and labor potential establishes dependability. For in-depth market research on Mexico's budding industries, it would be helpful to take assistance from informed professionals to assist your entry into this dynamic country.
