Thomas Adds State-Chartered CUs to Data Collection Efforts, NASCUS Intends To Cooperate

By Staff Writer | April 11, 2006 at 08:00 PM | The original version of this story was published on Credit Union Times Magazine
ARLINGTON, Va. – The House Ways and Means Committee has broadened its efforts to measure how credit unions are serving their membership and people of modest means to include state chartered credit unions as well as federal credit unions. NASCUS received a letter from House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) requesting state credit union regulators collect data from a representative sample of credit unions they regulate in their state in four areas: membership, executive compensation, credit union service organizations and unrelated business income tax. In his March 22nd letter, Thomas has asked NASCUS and the state regulators to provide the requested information by Sept. 1. NASCUS President/CEO Mary Martha Fortney said she was not surprised to receive the letter from Thomas, explaining that, "We've had lots of conversations with GAO and the House Ways and Means Committee staff, and from our conversations with the staff they explained how they wanted the information from the entire credit union system." She said NASCUS intends to hold teleconferences with state regulators to discuss the congressional request, and she stressed, "NASCUS is committed to addressing the issued raised by the House Ways and Means Committee. NASCUS will certainly cooperate with the committee as we have cooperated with Congress in the past." In Thomas' letter to NASCUS, he referred to the data collection effort NCUA is in the process of implementing of federal credit unions at the committee's request in response to the November 2005 hearing and noted that state chartered credit unions account for approximately 40% of the credit union industry, and like federal credit unions, are exempt from federal income tax. "Accordingly, it is important that the Committee have an understanding of how state chartered credit unions use their tax-exempt status to serve their members.," he stated. "Congress has a responsibility to ensure that there is a sound basis for the tax exemption provided to credit unions. The information that NASCUS and state credit unions collect will be helpful in providing a better understanding of the continuing basis for the tax exemption.," he further wrote. While most of the information Thomas is requesting NASCUS provide mirrors what the committee asked NCUA to provide (see sidebar) of federal credit unions, Fortney said it is important to notice some key differences as well. For example, she said, Thomas is not asking NASCUS the chartering and field of membership types of questions he's asked NCUA. "I think this shows the committee understands the dual chartering system and that it would be inappropriate to asked certain questions of state regulators because they don't apply," said the NASCUS president. Fortney said she didn't anticipate that state regulators would have difficulty collecting the information Thomas has requested. Some of the information such as the number of credit unions, their assets and charter types, "is readily available, every state regulator has this information," she said, adding that, "the 48 state regulators are asked for this kind of information all the time from their state legislators." Still, if it becomes necessary for NASCUS to ask for an extension on the Sept. 1 deadline, Fortney said, "I need to know if the committee will be reasonable. If we need an extension I would hope they'd be reasonable because NASCUS is going to cooperate with their request," adding that while the questions state regulators are being asked to provide information on are similar to those asked of NCUA with about the same deadline, NCUA has been working on their assignment since the early part of 2006 and even late 2005, so they've gotten a four-month head start. "Our goal is to work with them, and I would hope their goal is to work with us. We're going to provide objective and factual information to Congress," said Fortney. As to whether Thomas or the House Ways and Means Committee is "targeting" credit unions through their data requests, Fortney doubts it. "I think Congress wants to understand if credit unions are using their tax-exemption to serve their members. I don't think he's targeting state regulators or NCUA," she said. "I don't think Congress' oversight is inappropriate if they determine it's appropriate on a specific issue. That's they job," Fortney said. -

Q: Launching an external Java class after a particular condition I have two java class files, say A and B. Is there any way I can run B from A (this is because I want to check some condition in A and when satisfied run B)?

A: As long as classes A and B are in the classpath, running the main method of class B from A could be as simple as:
if (condition)
{
  String args = new String[] {"arguments", "for", "B"};
  B.main(args);
}

A: If there's a method in class B that you want to run, you can set it as public.  Then in class A, instantiate class B and call it.
//class B
public void doSomething()
{
//do something
}

//class A

B friendlyName = new B();
If (condition)
{
    friendlyName.doSomething();
}

Have a great day:)

Prophecy is one of the most misunderstood issues in scripture and one of the most abused doctrines in the New Testament. How should one look at prophecy in these times and what does it mean for a Christian to prophecy in today's culture? See what scripture teaches about the teaching of scripture and understand that the enemy of God, the devil, can and does use people to purvey distrust and other such things to keep people's focus off of the saving truth of Jesus Christ; that is the gospel!

---- Upgrade to SE2 To Add * Dr. Syn The Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh 1965 Patrick McGoohan * on a 2 DVD R SET !
Fine acting and great production values in this epic with Charlton Heston. This film happened to mark the first collaboration between Oscar winners Chuck Heston and Franklin Schaffner, who later directed Charlton Heston and Maurice Evans in the original Sci Fi Epic Planet of the Apes. In the 11th century, the extremely powerful Duke William of Ghent sends his most skilled and trustworthy knight, Chrysagon, played by Charlton Heston, and a troop of his finest warriors to guard Normandy's beach front settlements from pillage and plunder by the dark and marauding Frisian raiders.
Smitten with Bronwyn, played wonderfully by Rosemary Forsyth, the foster child of village elder Odins, played by Niall MacGinnis, the war lord is tempted simply to take her for himself, under the feudal custom of droit de seigneur, but finds he is falling in love with this woman and the journey begins.
The energy and design in this film are terrific. John Collier (Sylvia Scarlett) and Oscar nominee Millard Kaufman (Bad Day at Black Rock) adapted this sweeping historical romance from a play by the late Leslie Stevens, who also created TV's The Outer Limits. Heston and the support cast are simply magnificent in this film. The War Lord DVD is an often unjustly overlooked Heston film that offers rich characters, story and set design for a fine epic style motion picture. The War Lord DVD remains a wonderful classic film with Heston at his best.
Charlton Heston gives one of his best performances from the 60s in The War Lord DVD.


Soon after the last thread concerning the Lacey Act and the impact it will have on over seas shipping of instruments, I realized that I will be shipping a uke to a customer in Australia. I decided to get a jump on things and call around and get the real scoop on shipping an instrument that has mahogany, koa and rosewood in it so that I could do it properly.
I wont go into all the discussions I had with a number of departments but here is what I was told to ship this instrument. First off, this only pertains to those that are shipping out of the US. The Lacey Act only applies to shipments coming into the US. The CITES list applies to shipments going out. If any of the materials that make up the instrument are on the CITES list then I have to get the appropriate documentation, as has been necessary for sometime, to ship it out of the country. Basically, this includes the source of the material and from where it was harvested and you fill out a CITES form and away it goes.
Luckily, or unluckily depending on how you look at it, the material I used on my instrument isn't on the CITES list because its Indonesian Rosewood, Hawaiian Koa and African Mahogany. Technically, I can just ship it and be done with it but it was highly suggested that I place a notorized letter, on my letterhead, in with the instrument that outlines all the materials from which its constructed. This serves two purposes, one if a customs agent decides to crack the package open and says, "Gee, I wonder if this is Big Leaf Mahogany." then he'll see the notorized letter and that it is in fact African which isn't on the CITES list and let it go through without hassle. Second, in the event that my customer decides to travel with the uke then he will have the letter to help him get it through customs.
Here's a little tidbit that a port authority officer in Chicago told me. As part of the shipping process, you select a harmonized tariff code. If you choose musical instrument then the odds of them opening the package to check the contents are next to nil. If I selected the code for any item that is listed on the CITES list then that would be a red flag to open it and inspect it. He also told me that I'd be better off shipping it USPS then UPS. UPS will be more stringent on the paperwork, because they don't want their containers held up. USPS containers are rarely opened up on their way out but they are opened up on their way in. Its bureaucracy at work. My point of exit, through customs, is in Chicago but the container is going to go to Hawaii before it leaves US soil. So, customs doesn't open up anything going to another US state. Once at Hawaii, it wont be opened up because its already been tagged as going through the point of exit in Chicago.
Finally, this just gets it out of the US. Once it gets to Australia then their laws kick in to effect.
Unbeknown-st to my wife, these new laws was the main reason why I didn't buy my first uke from a shop in Venice when we were in Italy. I would have kicked myself in the head if they had held me up in customs on something like this.
Thanks for your write up and the shared experience. Best of luck!
Thanks for that Andrew. At last, someone with contemporaneous experience instead of waffle. I always use USPS - they have good delivery links with the UK, don't loose my stuff and rarely charge the going rate for import duties. It also goes under the radar if it is under 2 kilos in weight - this classifies it as small packet or letter rate. Anything over that then it becomes a 'package' and outside of letter rate, requires invoices and documentation... It's why my shipping boxes are made for me. I can get any instrument out under 2 kilos by the judicious use of polystyrene sheet as packing stiffener. However, the last time I did a video on this i got roundly ridiculed on another forum.
However, the last time I did a video on this i got roundly ridiculed on another forum.
Sometimes seems that's what that other forum is for.
My tariff code is 9207.90.00.40 because I am shipping an electric ukulele which requires amplification. There is also no duty on it going to AU.
I didn't know that there were other forums other than this one and the mandolincafe. :) By the way, I use expandable foam packaging which is very light and completely encases the instrument. Unfortunately, my solid body electrics come in at about 6 kilos.
Are you going to be around Saturday evening? I forgot to get tuners from you last time I was in and I need some tenor strings. I'm camping out at Lake Lemon this weekend, so I'll be close by.

News in Brief:
Loaded on Nov. 15, 2007 published in Prison Legal News November, 2007, page 42
Filed under: News, News in Brief. Location: United States of America.
California: On January 12, 2007, prisoners at Folsom State Prison gave 192 phone cards to the California National Guard which was purchased with money raised during a pizza fund raiser at the prison. Each card had 200 minutes on it and will be distributed to soldiers serving overseas. The irony that California prisoners, whose friends and families pay over $20 for a 20 minute phone call from their loved ones in prison, would donate phone cards to the soldiers who make possible the concentration camps at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib was apparently lost on the mainstream media.
California: On January 17, 2007, Laurence Moll, 57, a guard at Old Folsom State Prison, shot and killed himself after shooting and killing his girlfriend, Bonnie Lathum, 56, a nurse at the prison, and her daughter Teresa Contreras, 31.
Colorado: On September 28, 2007, Brad Sanchez, 31, a guard at the Huerfano County Correctional Center, a jail operated by Corrections Corporation of America, was arrested and charged with soliciting sex and sexually explicit photos from undercover policemen pretending to be a 14 year old girl.
El Salvador: On January 5, 2007, prisoners at the Apanteos prison rioted when a prisoner began arguing with a guard. That argument escalated into a full blown riot that had rival prisoner gangs fighting each other and left 17 prisoners dead and several injured. Police regained control of the prison the next day but renewed fighting among the prisoners left another 3 dead.
Florida: As part of a plea bargain, Bobby James Allen, 35, was sentenced to 25 years in prison on September 20, 2007, in Panama City after pleading guilty to three counts of armed sexual battery. Allen also underwent surgical castration as part of the plea, which cost $2,000 and was paid for by the court system. Allen had faced a life sentence if he had not undergone castration.
France: In January, 2007, Nicolas Cocaigne, 35, a prisoner in Rouen was charged with premeditated murder and violating a corpse for beating, stabbing and strangling his cellmate Thierry Baudry to death and then eating portions of the dead man?s chest and lungs. Cocaigne was awaiting trial on charges of armed rape and is mentally ill. His attorney Fabien Picchiotino said it was obvious Cocaigne was mentally ill and the murder could have been avoided if he had been promptly sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment after he was diagnosed with major schizophrenia, a condition worsened by imprisonment in sub human conditions. A third cellmate who claimed he slept through the attack and feast has also been charged with murder.
Georgia: On September 14, 2007, Robert Massey, 42, a guard at the Federal Correctional Institution in Jessup pleaded guilty to accepting a $1,000 bribe to smuggle unspecified contraband into the prison.
Illinois: On January 10, 2007, John LaValle, 37, a guard at the Cook County jail in Chicago was sentenced to 100 years in prison for killing a man in 2002 from whom he was attempting to collect a drug debt.
Prosecutors claimed that LaValle was working for drug dealers he purported to guard at the jail and went to the home of Jeffrey Smith, 22, with two other men to collect $70,000 in drug debts.
Kentucky: On September 15, 2007, Timothy Short, 29, a guard at the Kentucky State Penitentiary was arrested after his co-workers saw him give marijuana to a prisoner.

Michigan: On January 13, 2007, Pamela Grooters, 40, a federal probation employee and employee of the Federal Public Defenders office in Grand Rapids, was arrested and charged with using her access to government computers to steal the identities of people which she then used to obtain credit cards in their names and then get cash advances and buy items luxury items for herself and her husband.
Michigan: On October 5, 2007, John Atchison, 53, a federal prosecutor from Florida who was awaiting trial on charges that he flew to Michigan to have sex with a five year old girl, committed suicide in his segregation cell at the Federal Correctional Institution in Milan. He had previously tried to hang himself shortly after being arrested. He was on suicide watch at the time of his death. His arrest was the result of a sting operation by the Macomb County Sheriff?s office and the FBI where police posed as the mother of a five year old girl seeking men to have sex with the ?daughter,? who did not exist.
Mozambique: On September 16, 2007, five policemen were suspended for bringing prostitutes into the Maputo prison to have sex with the prisoners. Twelve prostitutes arrested inside the prison were later released because prostitution is not a crime in Mozambique. Prostitutes said they were picked up by prison vehicles and taken to the prison where they would have sex with prisoners who paid them about $20 US, two or three times their going rate. They claimed to have paid the police and prison guards nothing, assuming the prisoners made those arrangements. Apparently the practice had been going on for years but was exposed after a quarrel among the police and guards over the bribes they were paid.
Nevada: On October 3, 2007, Irvin Blake, a lieutenant at the Southern Nevada Corrections Center in Jean was arrested and charged with attempting to bribe an unidentified prisoner to beat up a prison sergeant who had reported unspecified misconduct by Blake for which he was being demoted.

New York: On January 8, 2007, Cassandra Jones, 42, was charged in Washington county Supreme Court with promoting prison contraband for having 2.5 grams of heroin, unidentified pills and a surgical scalpel concealed inside a tampon inserted in her vagina which she attempted to smuggle in to her husband, a prisoner at the Great Meadow Correctional Facility. Jones is a third grade school teacher in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.
New York: On October 3, 2007, Marcy Brodhead, 30, a guard at the Downstate Correctional Facility was charged with third degree rape and promoting prison contraband for sexually assaulting a male prisoner in his cell on two occasions and providing him with marijuana.

Pennsylvania: On September 28, 2007, Chad Dickson, a prisoner at SCI-Cresson was sentenced to 3-6 years in prison after pleading guilty to making false checks using prison typewriters which were then cashed by people outside the prison.

Part 2 of Leon Foucault's Article
Posted by gfbrandenburg in History, Telescope Making
Leon Foucault
Here is part two:
Optical Examination of Concave Surfaces
Three Different Procedures
Positive and Negative Aberration
When a mirror does not produce good images, normally one simply rejects the surface without seeking to find out exactly where its faults lie. The surface is worked over again, and the work is repeated to the point where the mirror is deemed good enough. But on this point -i.e., what is success -opinions quite often differ. However, there are ways to tell if a surface has in fact reached a figure which is suited to the requirements for it to function.
Let us suppose that we need to verify a concave, spherical mirror. This sort of mirror has the property of returning, without distortion, all rays of light that originate from the center of curvature, back to that same point. Distributed in space around that center, and at a very small distance from it, is an infinite number of pairs of conjugate foci, which enjoy – as far as can be detected – the same property. Now imagine a point of light located right next to the center of curvature. On the exact other side of that center, an image of that point of light will be formed, which we can observe with a low-power microscope. If the surface is perfect, then the point is well-defend, the image is clear, and is surrounded by diffraction rings. Also, the changes which it undergoes on one side and the other of the focal point, when one moves the microscope in and out of focus, are symmetrical [i.e. identical]. Such are the characteristics of a perfect focus formed by a cone of rays which all cross at the same point in space.
If the image is not perfect, then when one attempts to bring the light to a focus, one cannot produce as clear an image. However, at some point the light concentrates to a maximum, and we can consider that to be the true focal point. If the image at that point is round, then we can conclude that the surface of the mirror, while not being exactly spherical, is at least a surface of revolution around a center. We can then be certain that when one moves to one side or the other of the point of best focus, we will observe different and complementary patterns: light and dark concentric rings [lit. condensations and rarefactions of light] will appear in a complementary manner on either side of the focal point. These changes indicate variations in the radius of curvature in the corresponding zones of the reflecting surface.
A bit of thought will easily show in which directions those changes occur. When we move the eyepiece forward, and pass in front of the focal point, we observe the status of the bundle of rays ahead of its point of convergence. If this point is not the same for all the various concentric zones on the mirror surface, then those zones which have the shortest focal length will produce, on the observing plane, a premature intensification of light, indicating a too-short focal length. The exact opposite occurs for zones where the focal length is too long. If we now draw the microscope backwards in such a way as to observe the status of the bundle of rays after they cross each other, we should observe the exact opposite phenomena, and these should bring us to the same conclusions.
Generally, with well-made surfaces, the deformations in shape take the form of gradual changes in the radius of curvature, which varies slowly and in small amounts and in a uniform direction from the center to the circumference of the mirror. Also, the two symmetric images observed to one side and the other of focus normally appear as circles, one with the brighter part towards the center and the other one towards the periphery.
When the surface being examined is not one of revolution, one is warned of that fact by the deformation of the images, which are not round, but divide themselves into unequal subdivisions.
To perform this experiment, we create a point source of light to be used as the origin of the rays to be emitted. We glue a short-focal-length plano-convex lens onto one of the two identical faces of a small, totally-reflecting right angle prism (Plate 1, figure 1). A lamp flame is placed 20 to 30 cm away from the axis of the experiment, and its horizontal rays illuminate this lens, which is perpendicular to those rays of light. The converging rays of light are completely reflected by the hypotenuse surface of the prism. These rays then form, outside of the prism, an image of the flame on a small opaque screen. This screen is pierced by a pinhole, which we can consider to be a point. This screen is placed near the center of curvature of the mirror and is so oriented as to fully illuminate the mirror. A microscope is used to examine the conjugate focus.
This method of examining concave surfaces is sufficiently rigorous to find the smallest imperfections. But it works best of all when it is necessary to decide whether the mirror surface is one of revolution [i.e., is not astigmatic – trans.]. However, when one wants to perform local refiguring of the mirror, it is useful to find more precise information on the variations in the radius of curvature. In such a case, it is time to use a second method, based on an entirely different principle.
In the region around the center of curvature, we set up two straight lines, very close to each other, such as the two edges of a metal wire one millimeter in diameter. This object is illuminated by an oblique mirror, so that it is projected onto a lighted background as seen from any point on the surface of the objective mirror. The image produced is observed either with the naked eye, or, better yet, by means of a small lens, through a diaphragm with an opening of 1.5 millimeter. In this situation, the object appears as a lighted disk, whose size corresponds to the opening of the mirror. And if the edges are not straight lines, then the inflections that appear will help us to characterize the variations in the radius of curvature. To help us understand why this is true, simply make a drawing tracing the paths of the rays of light from the surface of the mirror to the focal plane of the lens (figure 2). Then you will see how the little pinhole, by eliminating most of the rays which formed the direct image i, has the effect of composing the transmitted image i' with the rays reflected by different parts of the mirror. (This sounds a lot like a primitive version of the Ronchi Grating with only two lines in it – Bob)
Now, if the radius of curvature varies from one zone to the other, then image i will not be entirely complete, and image i' will be formed at each of its points by partial ray bundles with different foci. The latter image will curve in space, and the angles subtended in the observer's eye by the different parts of the image will not be proportional to the corresponding parts of the object. In a word, this image will appear deformed. One will see contractions and dilations, representing reductions or increases in the radius of curvature from the corresponding parts of the mirror. (Note: the last two paragraphs have confused at least two translators! — trans.](Pretty close to the lateral waviness seen with a Ronchigram when the surface of the mirror is not a proper surface but rather zoney in its appearance – Bob)
If one wants to inspect the entire mirror with a single glance, it is necessary to take for viewing object a regular grid network marked with congruent squares. The image of this object very readily reveals any deformations, wherever they may appear. (Basically a two dimensional Ronchi Test rather than the single dimension that we presently use – Bob)
Let us assume that we have the most usual type of situation, namely that the mirror is exactly spherical in its central region, but varies towards its circumference by a gradual increase in the radius of curvature. If we submit such a mirror to the second examination process we just described, then we will see an image in which all the lines of the grid will be curved as in figure 4, where the lines bow inwards and their concavity faces outwards. The cells of the grid increase their are as one proceeds from the center to the edge, and they change in the same direction as does the radius of curvature of the corresponding sections of the mirror surface.
An opposite deformation of the mirror, wherein the edges of the mirror slant inwards too quickly, produces a reversal of the curvature of the lines of the grid pattern, as shown in figure 5. The result is that the areas of the cells in the image get smaller as one approaches the edges of the field. Once again, the changes in the areas of the cells of the grid correspond to the changes in the radius of curvature.
For a final example, it often happens that the edges of a mirror are reduced below the level of a sphere, while the surface of the mirror also presents a raised central region, bounded all around by a sort of circular furrow. In this case, the radius of curvature changes first in one direction, and then in the opposite direction as one proceeds from the center to the edge. This situation will reveal itself very clearly via the sinusoidity (probably a more literal word here would be waviness – Bob) of the lines of the grid (see figure 6). This arrangement produces an analogous variation in the areas of the cells of the grid.
We have taken care to reproduce, on the plate with the diagrams referred to earlier, showing the observed images, enormously exaggerated profiles of the deformed mirror surfaces. Thus, this second method of examination of mirror surfaces gives information that is very definitive and very easy to interpret. In the case where the lines produced appear to be more-or-less straight (figure 3), one cannot be sure whether or not one has in fact obtained a perfect surface. For that, the mirror will need to undergo the rigorous examination of a third and final method.
As with the first method, we need to have a point source of light close to the center of curvature, in such a way as to not mask the rays of light returning from the mirror surface. After crossing each other, these rays of light form a divergent cone into which the observer places his or her eye. Then one moves the eye forward, in front of the focal point, until the entire surface of the mirror appears illuminated. Then, using a mask with one straight edge, we intercept, or cut into, the image until it disappears completely. This maneuver makes the eye of the observer see a progressive extinction of the reflection from the mirror. In the case of a perfectly spherical mirror, the entire surface will be fully and equally illuminated until the final instant (when the illumination goes away. – Bob). If the mirror is not completely spherical, the extinction of the light is not simultaneous over the entire surface of the mirror. From the contrast of the shadows and lighted areas, the observer can perceive, in a sort of chiaroscuro (def. treatment of light and dark in a drawing – basically used as from the timeframe of the work artists were doing in the 1850's – Bob) effect, an exaggerated impression of hills and valleys on the mirror, showing what needs to be done to obtain a spherical surface. This is the effect that must needs result from the paths of the rays converging more or less precisely at a common focal point.
In the theoretical case of a perfect spherical surface, the image of the luminous point is a disk that is sharply defined and which includes all of the reflected rays. Once this is masked by our straight-edge, no light at all reaches the eye of the observer (figure 7). But insofar as this disk passes the mask at all, then, since each of its points contains rays reflected by the entire mirror surface, that surface is more or less illuminated and displays a uniform brilliance to the observer.
Let us suppose that the mirror surface is defective: the image of the point, instead of having a clear edge, will be surrounded by a luminous aureole, or ring, formed by the aberrating rays. When the correct image is masked by our knife-edge, then these rays, passing beyond, will proceed to the eye of the observer and will reveal the elements of the mirror surface that do not present themselves below the desired incidence.
In figure 8, which represents the effects of a mirror surface with the edges raised too high, we see clearly that the knife-edge screen — cutting the central ray forming the image – allows the rays that come from the raised edge to pass through. Consequently, at the moment when the main central ray bundle is being progressively cut off, the upper (or right-hand) edge will appear brightly lit and the opposite edge will already be blackened out, while the central region will undergo a uniform, slow shadowing-out.
In general, if the surface being examined in this way suffers from hills and depressions distributed in some random manner, as in figure 9, all the slope faces of the hills and valleys that face towards the knife-edge screen will appear to be black, and all the slope faces that are inclined in the opposite direction will be illuminated. Thus, the appearance of such a surface will be the same as that of a matte (or more literally – 3 dimensional – Bob) surface that presents, with an extreme degree of exaggeration, peaks and troughs distributed in a similar manner, and which appears to be illuminated by an oblique light source placed on the opposite side of our knife-edge screen.
It is important to remember this rule if one wants to avoid all uncertainties in interpreting the observed results, for it often happens that the hills and the valleys seem to the observer to switch places, in a sort of optical illusion that is independent of the conscious mind. However, no matter one thinks one perceives, one can be sure to avoid this error of sign or direction as long as one takes into account the position of the knife-edge mask and that one uses that information to interpret correctly the disposition of the lighted and shadowed points.
In summary, we have now three procedures we can use to verify the configuration of concave reflecting surfaces. The first method is based on the microscopic examination of the image of a point of light, and is particularly applicable in the case where one wants to determine whether the mirror surface is one of revolution. The second, which operates by elimination, using that a lens that is very narrowly stopped-down, applies to the observation of the image of a network of square cells. This method has most of all the power to show the variations in the radius of curvature at different points on the surface. The third method, the most sensitive of all, relies on the direct observation of the surface with the naked eye of rays of light coming to a focus and passing by the edge an opaque knife-edge mask.
Observing with a microscope the image of a point; studying via a stopped-down lens the deformations in a grid; and looking at the surface with the naked eye and with rays of light that escape being cut off – these are the artifices that we call upon, one checking the other, to furnish all the desired information on the conformation of optical surfaces.
Up until now we have assumed that these procedures can only be applied to spherical surfaces, and are limited in their application to the cases where the conjugate foci are very close to the center of curvature. With these restrictions, explaining them was clearer and easier. However, considering them from another point of view, these procedures take on a much more general nature, which renders them even more important.
Making an abstraction of the mirror surface so as to consider only the reflected bundle of rays, the information furnished by these examination procedures can be applied to the bundle itself, and the characteristics which have been noted as the attributes of a spherical surface become in essence the properties of a bundle of rays which are exactly one of the conic sections.
Now, inasmuch as the quality of the images depends precisely on the final convergence of the rays of light, these instruments, no matter what type they may be, fall under the aegis of these very same testing methods. Thus, we are no longer required to observe a mirror at its center of curvature, and since our proposed goal is to construct telescopes to observe objects located at infinity, we will take the concave mirror as it leaves the hands of the artisan, and we will lead it, via a series of transformations, to a figure which will make it suitable to function on celestial bodies.
This glass mirror, without even being silvered, reflects enough light so that it can undergo all three examinations described earlier. We observe it close to the center of curvature. If it is spherical, the image of the point of light is round, clear, and distinct; the lines of the grid are straight; and we can produce a simultaneous extinction of light over the entire surface.
Once this status is confirmed, we move our source object closer to the surface of the mirror. The image naturally moves farther away from the surface, and the distance between the two conjugate foci increases, as required by the fact that in an ellipsoid of revolution there must be perfect convergence of the reflected rays at the second focus. However, since the surface has in fact remained spherical, the rays emitted from one point will not actually all cross at a single point. We confirm, by the use of the three testing methods, that there exists an aberration, such that the various sections of the mirror have shorter and shorter focal lengths the farther they are away from the center of the mirror.
The image of the point of light, examined under a microscope, begins to be surrounded by a halo of aberration. When we change the focus of the microscope, we see this image degenerate, on one side and the other of the focal plane, into two complementary images, of which one, closer to the mirror, presents on its periphery an accumulation of light, and the other, farther from the surface, has the opposite arrangement. The lines of the grid begin to curve in such a way as to present their convexity towards the outside, as we see in figure 5. Also, the extinction of the image by the knife-edge mask produces, on the surface of the mirror, an unequal distribution of light, as we see in figure 13, which appears like a raised center and raised edges, with a circular depressed area between the two.
From all of this information, we conclude that the surface of the mirror is not one that would match the present state of conjugate foci [i.e., an ellipsoid – trans.] and that it differs from that in such a way that the radius of curvature is too short, and becomes more so as one moves away from the central part of the mirror. We now see clearly the modifications necessary to perform on this surface in order to bring it to a better state: we need to perform local refiguring so as to re-establish the lacking relationships among the radii of curvature. We will see later on that there is an infinite variety of methods of performing this refiguring.
Let us continue. In other words, let us bring the object closer to the mirror, and at the same time we will push the image farther and farther away from the mirror. The aberration will increase, along with the phenomena that reveal the magnitude and direction thereof. It becomes clear that for a spherical surface the aberrations increase along with the distance between the two conjugate foci.
But let us suppose that, when leaving the center of curvature and before passing from one station to the other, we were able to master the phenomena of aberration by performing the local refiguring that is suggested by our examination procedure. In that case, the figure of the mirror, which was originally spherical, will be gradually modified by a series of light refiguring operations. These changes will make the surface pass through a series of ellipsoidal figures, ending up, at the limit, with a paraboloidal surface. Such is the method we have followed, with success, to obtain large-aperture mirrors that give good images, without aberration, of images situated at infinity.
Once we have succeeded in removing all aberrations for the particular case of conjugate foci, and we have returned to one of the positions we were in previously, we observe all of the phenomena returning, but in reverse order, which gives evidence of an aberration in the cone of the converging rays. The image of the point of light, surrounded even at the focus by a luminous halo, degenerates, as one pulls back the ocular microscope towards the observer, into a bright ring of light with a center that is more or less dark. The lines of the image of the grid appear curved with their concavity facing outwards (figure 4). The surface, viewed with the knife-edge mask, appears with a trough in the central region and with the outside edges turned down (fig. 14). In a word, all the phenomena appear to be the opposite of those which one observes on a spherical surface tested at a point outside the center of curvature.
{This suggests an interesting experiment: one can bring in the knife-edge from the opposite side in testing a sphere at a particular set of conjugates and see the exact result of testing an ellipsoid properly figured for these conjugates at its center of curvature. This type of experiment has many possibilities in testing. Many variations suggest themselves.}
If we agree to consider as positive the type of aberration which results the most often from the disproportionate extension of spherical surfaces, then we will denote as negative the aberration in the opposite direction which results from an exaggerated or inopportune correction of a spherical figure. But, if we only consider the ray bundle as a whole independent of the apparatus that makes it converge, we can agree to denote as a positive aberration the arrangement of a bundle of rays wherein the central ones converge last of all. In this case the caustic (see figure 10) formed by the series of crossing rays has its vertex turned towards the side where the light is heading. By contrast, we will call a negative aberration the opposite arrangement, wherein the central parts of the ray bundle converge first, and wherein the caustic has a vertex pointing towards the mirror, as in figure 11.
These two states of the bundle of light rays correspond to two opposite appearances. Since one given ellipsoidal surface can produce either positive or negative aberrations, depending on whether it is functioning for foci located inside or outside the limits corresponding to its own foci, we can see that a single surface can produce, via the third examination procedure, two opposite appearances. To understand this fully, it is important to note what is the geometric direction of the figure that appears in such a situation.
Recall this: given that a surface functions in such a way as to return towards the observer a ray bundle that is free of any aberration, then that surface, no matter what it might be, when examined by method #3, will appear uniformly illuminated as if it was a plane surface. Thus, if subsequent changes occur that disturb the convergence of the rays, then the appearance of the surface will be modified so that it will appear as different from a plane surface as the altered surface differs from the correct figure. In other words, the relief of the solid which displays itself in such a case, instead of revealing the true surface of the mirror, show us the figure of the solid that is superimposed upon the correct surface.
Let us suppose, for example, that a spherical surface is examined in circumstances where it should present an ellipsoidal figure. That is to say that instead of the correct figure s (shown in figure 12) we substitute figure s' which is not correctly figured. To have an idea of the appearance which should result from this, let us put the circle and the ellipse on the same set of coordinates, and then let us construct the curve given by the changes in the differences in the y-coordinates corresponding to the same x-coordinates. This curve, which is of the fourth degree, is in fact the one which, if we imagine it rotated around the y-axis, would generate a surface that matches what we see in black-and-white shadows (figures 13 or 14) on a mirror that is examined by the third method, and when this mirror has a central zone that is a conic section, and when it has been verified as being outside the conditions defined by the positions of its own foci.
We can also see that in this figure there is an inversion of the hills and valleys, depending on whether the actual surface of the mirror is inside of or outside of the theoretical surface corresponding to the positions occupied in space by the object and the image. In this way, we begin to understand the various images presented by an ellipsoidal mirror, as these images are progressively and continuously varied, when we consider all the distances where the image that results from the convergence of the reflected rays can be formed.
Of the three testing methods which have been described in this essay, one alone, if required, could be sufficient to guide the hand which must perform the local refiguring on the mirror and cause it to pass through all of the various ellipsoids to culminate in a final parabolic surface. But if we use them all together, we are more assured of avoiding false maneuvers. Also, the various testing methods complement, rather than supplant, each other. Experience has shown many times that when all three methods are united in agreement that a particular surface has no defects, then the optical results of that mirror attain such a degree of perfection that nothing more could be desired. One could even knowingly permit a few small undulations to remain that can be seen in the third method, without the optical results of the mirror being at all noticeably different. This seems to show that sort of test achieves, regarding optical surfaces, a sort of super-sensitive reaction. The difficulty is now no longer to find the imperfections in the work on the surfaces, but to address the surface of the glass via an agent that will suffice to remove the minuscule quantities of glass which we need to remove.

Part of the Patch Tuesday patch cycle was an update for IE 7.
I have my MS updates set to notify.
All updates were easily downloaded and installed, except for the IE 7 update.
I always disable security software before I download and install that stuff.
The IE 7 update was very difficult, the others went without effort, but I just couldn't get the IE 7 update to download, no matter what method for updating I tried ! After each attempt to download, it sort of aborted without response/continuation.
In the end, for some reason (?) the update did succeed.
Did anyone else have a problem with this one or others ?
Yeah, I think I've some idea about why it failed initially.

The weather for the 2011 Labor Day weekend will be less hazardous than the previous weekend when Hurricane Irene swept in, but the roads will be much more dangerous.
Prepare your vehicle for long-distance travel: Check the wipers and fluid levels and get your and radiator and cooling system serviced.
Plan ahead: Know exits by name and number and watch road signs to avoid having to make sudden lane changes and setting the satage for accidents.
Do not cut in front of large trucks: Respect the reality that trucks are heavier, take longer to stop and cause more damage when an accident occurs.
Use a map or GPS: Know your route so you can anticipate lane changes.
Leave early and avoid risks: Leaving late can lead to fatigue, a major cause of accidents.
Be aware of truck drivers' blind spots: Trucker drivers cannot see your vehicle if you cannot see the drivers' reflections in their rearview mirrors.
As experienced Virginia (VA) truck accident injury attorneys we often see the devastating effects of accidents involving trucks. Just last month a 70-year-old woman from Portsmouth, VA, was killed in a collision with a concrete truck in North Carolina (NC).
We have also reported on how fatal accidents tend to spike over the holidays when more drivers take to the roads. The number of road deaths doubled in Virginiaover the July 4, 2010 holidaycompared to a year earlier.
Virginia State Police said patrols will be stepped up this Labor Day weekend. In 2010 Virginia experienced a large number of traffic deaths during the Labor Day weekend when 13 people were killed over four days. In 2009, the same number of people were killed on the roads of Virginia. Police say alcohol is often a factor in crashes over the holidays.
"It's this simple. Don't drink and drive. We have a zero tolerance for impaired drivers," said Colonel W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police Superintendent. In 2010, Virginia State Police arrested 132 drunk drivers during the four-day Labor Day weekend. State troopers also cited 8,836 speeders and 2,420 reckless drivers.
Our attorneys have handled numerous cases of injuries caused by trucks. See this FAQ about time limitations for filing a claim after a trucking accident.


This book explains and illustrates the rules that are given in the Eurocode for designing steel structures subjected to fire. After the first introductory chapter, Chapter 2 explains how to calculate the mechanical actions (loads) in the fire situation based on the information given in EN 1990 and EN 1991. Chapter 3 presents the models to be used to represent the thermal action created by the fire. Chapter 4 describes the procedures to be used to calculate the temperature of the steelwork from the temperature of the compartment and Chapter 5 shows how the information given in EN 199312 is used to determine the loan bearing capacity of the steel structure. The methods use to evaluate the fire resistance of bolted and welded connections are described in Chapter 7. Chapter 8 describes a computer program called "ElefirEN" which is based on the simple calculation model given in the Eurocode and allows designers to quickly and accurately calculate the performance of steel components in the fire situation. Chapter 9 looks at the issues that a designer may be faced with when assessing the fire resistance of a complete building. This is done via a case study and addresses most of the concepts presented in the earlier Chapters. The concepts and fire engineering procedures given in the Eurocodes may see complex those more familiar with the prescriptive approach. This publication sets out the design process in a logical manner giving practical and helpful advice and easy to follow worked examples that will allow designer to exploit the benefits of this new approach to fire design.

Nethermost
[NEH-thər-mohst]
Origin: English, 14th century
Lowest in position.
Examples of Nethermost in a sentence
"We had a hard time finding our car on the nethermost parking level at the stadium."
"Helen almost missed the macadamia nuts, because they were on the nethermost shelf of the baking section."
About Nethermost
"Nethermost" was formed in English by combining "nether," meaning "under" or "lower," and the suffix "-most," meaning "furthest."
The nethermost point on Earth is Challenger Deep, located nearly 7 miles below sea level at the bottom of Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean near Guam. If Marianas Trench were inverted, and it became a mountain almost 36,000 feet in height, and its uppermost points would be significantly taller than any of the highest mountains on earth — Mount Everest is approximately 29,000 feet tall, while K2 is over 28,000 feet. The lowest points of Marianas Trench are fascinating to humans perhaps because they are so unknown: Only three people have reached the nethermost areas of Challenger Deep by submarine, compared with about 4,000 people who have reached the uppermost point of Mount Everest.

Cynthia Jones Parks is President and CEO of Jones Worley Design, an Atlanta-based communications firm that celebrates its 29th Anniversary in 2019.
Cynthia Jones Parks has earned a national reputation in the transportation industry for her agency's outstanding work. Jones Worley has provided strategic branding and marketing communications, wayfinding and signage design, branding and creative solutions for more than 45 transportation authorities from California to Florida.
Parks made history when Jones Worley was the only African-American female owned firm selected to be on the team that branded and designed the "Look" of the Centennial Olympic Games.
Parks made history again when her firm branded and launched the Breeze Card for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, in what was the first 100 percent smart card conversion in the country. The success of that project paid off enormously. Jones Worley subsequently won contracts to guide the implementation of eight, uniquely different transit smart cards in San Francisco, St. Louis and Albany, just to name a few. No other marketing and communications firm in North America has worked on as many smart cards as Jones Worley.
Under Cynthia Jones Parks' leadership, Jones Worley has also been awarded high-profile projects for global-reaching, Fortune 500 corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company, Turner Entertainment, Chick-fil-A, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—the busiest airport in the world.

Uber, the largest taxi company in the world, runs on software but owns no taxis. Airbnb is on track to become the largest hotelier in the world, but it owns no hotels. These are extreme examples of how software is disrupting traditional industries. It illustrates the type and scope of digital transformation that is now possible. To accommodate this transformation, IT must be more application-oriented and more responsive to changing business needs.
Three trends are currently forcing IT departments to rethink standard operating procedure and leverage technology to enable a more responsive and application-centric management approach.
Companies are rolling out more applications than they did just a few years ago. Mobile, big data, social applications, business process optimisation and technology-enabled service offerings are increasing the breadth of application portfolios. Traditional, infrastructure-focused IT approaches don't scale.
Virtualized data centers, private clouds, hosted private clouds and public clouds are all viable homes for digital workloads. IT needs the flexibility to choose the deployment environment that is a best fit, based on the type of workload, budget limits, performance needs, security concerns and compliance requirements. Traditional datacenters don't offer enough options.
While accelerating time-to-market enables a competitive advantage, it can, however, be very difficult to rework traditional IT management processes and procedures that were carefully optimised for a slower release cadence in a traditional data center. Developers can't wait weeks for IT to deploy virtual machines (VMs) and other infrastructure resources using manual, ticket-based processes. Instead, IT organisations are adopting application-oriented management solutions to support the faster pace of the digital enterprise. These solutions streamline developer requests and automate processes to support the full breadth of application types and deployment environments.
Software-controlled infrastructure is proving to be a critical enabler of more agile and responsive IT operations. Application programming interfaces (APIs) treat infrastructure as code, and they can be called to allocate and adjust physical infrastructure. Unlike manual and physical processes, both software-defined data centers (SDDC) and software-enabled cloud infrastructure enable automation that offers a far more flexible, scalable, repeatable and cost-effective approach.
Every additional automation tool helps streamline and accelerate tasks and processes. But they also create technical debt in the form of scripts and artifacts that must be version controlled and maintained over time. Many enterprises start their SDDC and cloud transformation with one set of tools to deploy infrastructure and another set of tools to deploy and manage application components, such as databases, application servers, load balancers, web servers and applications. Now companies can combine infrastructure and application automation from a single, deployable application template or blueprint, thereby improving agility and reducing ongoing automation costs.
Companies risk vendor lock-in when they use different automation tools optimised for each specific environment API, such as offered by Amazon Web Services, Azure, OpenStack, VMware or Cisco. Instead, companies can standardise on a single cloud-management platform that abstracts the environment-specific services and APIs and acts as a common management fabric across environments.
The best strategy for meeting the increased pace of application release is to build on software-defined infrastructure and to combine infrastructure and application automation using a cloud-agnostic platform that works across environments.
By combining new, application-focused automation technologies with an underlying, software-defined infrastructure, it is now possible for the management platform to direct the infrastructure, rather than infrastructure dictating how applications must be managed unique to each environment. Application-defined solutions improve both agility and service-delivery efficiency in ways not previously possible. Most importantly, they enable digital enterprises to gain a time-to-market competitive advantage.


Tesla's Supercharger website currently lists only one location, Middlefart, with 4 stalls. However, the image above shows the Middlefart, which appears to now have 8 charging stalls.
Tesla's total Supercharger count in Europe is now listed at 18, with 94 more in the US and 3 in Asia.
8 Comments on "Two Tesla Superchargers Now Online In Denmark"
That will be expensive for Tesla, because Denmark has the worlds highest electricity costs.
And if they were afraid of high electricity prices then they would definitely not build any superchargers in Germany.
That's why Tesla was talking to BWM. The costs for the SuperChargers in Germany will be a massive and the very low sales will not compensate the losses.
A super charger station costs about $150 000. Every car sold pays about $3 000 for super charging.
That's about 50 cars sold for paying for a super charger built.
Tesla have built 9 superchargers in Germany and sold 350 cars (=7 super chargers).
So they must be losing money… oh wait, they have sold 4600 in Norway alone, which would pay for building 92 stations alone.
What about electricity? Well add another $100-200 per car per year. It's pocket change in comparason.

IASC Trustee Volcker will testify on IAS to US Congress
Paul Volcker, the former US Federal Reserve Board chairman who currently chairs the Trustees of the IASC Foundation, will testify on Thursday before the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Capital Markets.
The subcommittee is holding a hearing on Promotion of International Capital Flow through Accounting Standards. The subcommittee is concerned about lack of comparability of financial information disclosed in international capital markets. In announcing the hearing, the subcommittee chair, Congressman Richard Baker, said: "Without harmonization of accounting standards from country to country, investors face uncertainty when evaluating investment opportunities and companies face costly compliance when filing financial disclosures."

Application of Rotary Kiln:
Rotary kiln is generally used for the production of cement, lime, refractories, metakaolin, titanium dioxide, alumina, vermiculite and iron ore pellets, as a pyroprocessing device to raise the material to a high temperature (calcination) in a continuous process. They can also be used for roasting a wide variety of sulfide ores prior to metal extraction.
Working principle of the rotary kiln:
The kiln is a cylindrical vessel, inclined slightly to the horizontal, which is rotated slowly about its axis. The material to be processed is fed into the upper end of the cylinder. As the kiln rotates, material gradually moves down towards the lower end, and may undergo a certain amount of stirring and mixing. Hot gases pass along the kiln, sometimes in the same direction as the process material (co-current), but usually in the opposite direction (counter-current). The hot gases may be generated in an external furnace, or may be generated by a flame inside the kiln. Such a flame is projected from a burner-pipe (or " firing pipe" ) which acts like a large bunsen burner. The fuel for this may be gas, oil or pulverized coal.
Kiln construction:
The kilns are basically composed by the shell, the refractory lining, support tyres and rollers, drive gear and internal heat exchangers.
Kiln shell:
This is made from rolled mild steel plate, usually between 15 and 30 mm thick, welded to form a cylinder which may be up to 230 m in length and up to 6 m in diameter. This will be usually situated on a east/west axis to prevent eddy currents.
Upper limits on diameter are set by the tendency of the shell to deform under its own weight to an oval cross section, with consequent flexure during rotation. Length is not necessarily limited, but it becomes difficult to cope with changes in length on heating and cooling (typically around 0.1 to 0.5% of the length) if the kiln is very long.
Refractory Lining:
The purpose of the refractory lining is to insulate the steel shell from the high temperatures inside the kiln, and to protect it from the corrosive properties of the process material. It may consist of refractory bricks or cast refractory concrete, or may be absent in zones of the kiln that are below around 250° C. The refractory selected depends upon the temperature inside the kiln and the chemical nature of the material being processed. In some processes, such as cement, the refractory life is prolonged by maintaining a coating of the processed material on the refractory surface. The thickness of the lining is generally in the range 80 to 300 mm. A typical refractory will be capable of maintaining a temperature drop of 1000° C or more between its hot and cold faces. The shell temperature needs to be maintained below around 350° C in order to protect the steel from damage, and continuous infrared scanners are used to give early warning of " hot-spots" indicative of refractory failure.
Tyres and Rollers:
Tyres, sometimes called riding rings, usually consist of a single annular steel casting, machined to a smooth cylindrical surface, which attach loosely to the kiln shell through a variety of " chair" arrangements. These require some ingenuity of design, since the tyre must fit the shell snugly, but also allow thermal movement. The tyre rides on pairs of steel rollers, also machined to a smooth cylindrical surface, and set about half a kiln-diameter apart. The rollers must support the kiln, and allow rotation that is as nearly frictionless as possible. A well-engineered kiln, when the power is cut off, will swing pendulum-like many times before coming to rest. The mass of a typical 6 x 60 m kiln, including refractories and feed, is around 1100 tonnes, and would be carried on three tyres and sets of rollers, spaced along the length of the kiln. The longest kilns may have 8 sets of rollers, while very short kilns may have only two. Kilns usually rotate at 0.5 to 2 rpm, but sometimes as fast as 5 rpm. The Kilns of most modern cement plants are running at 4 to 5 rpm. The bearings of the rollers must be capable of withstanding the large static and live loads involved, and must be carefully protected from the heat of the kiln and the ingress of dust. In addition to support rollers, there are usually upper and lower " retaining (or thrust) rollers" bearing against the side of tyres, that prevent the kiln from slipping off the support rollers.
Drive Gear:
The kiln is usually turned by means of a single Girth Gear surrounding a cooler part of the kiln tube, but sometimes it is turned by driven rollers. The gear is connected through a gear train to a variable-speed electric motor. This must have high starting torque in order to start the kiln with a large eccentric load. A 6 x 60 m kiln requires around 800 kW to turn at 3 rpm. The speed of material flow through the kiln is proportional to rotation speed, and so a variable speed drive is needed in order to control this. When driving through rollers, hydraulic drives may be used. These have the advantage of developing extremely high torque. In many processes, it is dangerous to allow a hot kiln to stand still if the drive power fails. Temperature differences between the top and bottom of the kiln may cause the kiln to warp, and refractory is damaged. It is therefore normal to provide an auxiliary drive for use during power cuts. This may be a small electric motor with an independent power supply, or a diesel engine. This turns the kiln very slowly, but enough to prevent damage.
Internal heat exchangers:
Heat exchange in a rotary kiln may be by conduction, convection and radiation, in descending order of efficiency. In low-temperature processes, and in the cooler parts of long kilns lacking preheaters, the kiln is often furnished with internal heat exchangers to encourage heat exchange between the gas and the feed. These may consist of scoops or " lifters" that cascade the feed through the gas stream, or may be metallic inserts that heat up in the upper part of the kiln, and impart the heat to the feed as they dip below the feed surface as the kiln rotates. The latter are favoured where lifters would cause excessive dust pick-up. The most common heat exchanger consists of chains hanging in curtains across the gas stream.
Our rotary kiln includes dry-process cement rotary kiln, semi-dry-process cement rotary kiln, wet-process rotary kiln and chemical industrial rotary kiln such as self-return soda ash steam calciner.
Introduction of dry-process cement rotary kiln:
This rotary kiln is the central equipment in the cement clinker burning system producing cement by new model dry-process techniques. Its main structure is consisted of components such as the cylindrical barrel, tyre, riding wheel, catch wheel, transmission unit, seals at the kiln head and rear, coal spraying pipe unit. Etc. The material of the tyre and riding wheel is ZG35CrMo and 42CrMo. The supporting unit adopts the self-aligning sliding bearing structure which have a multi-cooling method, thus improves the loading capacity. The transmission system adopts hardened reducer, elastic diaphragm coupling, DC motor drive. And also there is hydraulic catch wheel, and low speed driven unit.

Both bowlers have been outstanding servants for English cricket, with their partnership worth almost 1000 wickets between them in Test matches. Anderson has been outstanding in recent years, even as he approaches the age of 36. He will surely break Glenn McGrath's record of 563 Test wickets – the highest mark by a pace bowler in the history of the game. With the way cricket is developing across the world, Anderson's milestone may never be beaten.
Broad had a poor year by his high standards in 2017, but found somewhere near his best in New Zealand, although it was not enough to drive England to victory in the second Test. Fortunately, both players are in good health and will continue for at least until the Ashes next year, where England will need them at full throttle, with Joe Root's men currently backed in the latest cricket betting at 13/8 to regain the urn. However, looking further forward, the Three Lions have issues replacing the duo.
Chris Woakes has shown promise in home conditions and has performed well across the world in one-day internationals, with the 29-year-old currently ranked seventh in the ICC rankings. Woakes has an average of 24.28 with the ball in England, taking 42 wickets in 11 matches. However, his issues have come when travelling abroad, struggling immensely in South Africa, India and Australia. The Warwickshire man's best outing overseas came in Adelaide in the day/night Test when he took figures of 4/36 in Australia's second innings. It was no surprise that it came in advantageous conditions for seam bowling.
Woakes is not the only bowler to have had major issues. Mark Wood has struggled for fitness and has not been overly effective when he has been in the line-up. Tom Curran and Craig Overton are raw prospects and may take time to develop in the Test match stage, although they did not pull up any trees in Australia with their performances. Steven Finn and Toby Roland-Jones have proven quality, but are not far behind Broad in age, while they also have had problems remaining fit.
England's troubles were highlighted by the fact that in the seven Tests of their winter tour, Anderson and Broad took 47 wickets at an average of 29.80. The rest of the attack took 34 wickets at a price of 72.85 runs. The lack of a quality spinner has hurt matters, with Moeen Ali enduring a miserable tour down under; so much so that he was replaced by Jack Leach. Leach could be the one to ease the pressure on Broad and Anderson. He showed promise on his debut in Christchurch, and at the age of 26 he could be responsible for the future of England's attack overseas, especially in the sub-continent.

Pakistani entertainment award show takes center stage in Houston
By Charly Edsitty
Seventh HUM Awards come to Houston
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- For the first time ever, the HUM Awards came to the United States, and Houston hosted one of Pakistan's biggest television award shows.
"We are amazed to see the response of the entire North America towards these awards," said Duraid Qureshi, CEO of HUM Network. "The decision of being in Houston is right."
The HUM Network is an entertainment channel in Pakistan and home to some of the most popular shows in the country.
Saturday night's award ceremony happened at NRG Arena and honored nominees in categories for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Drama Serial.
Some of the biggest celebrities in Pakistan were in attendance for the ceremony that also celebrated Pakistani culture.
"Everybody says (Houston) is a mini Pakistan and there are a lot of Pakistanis here," said Sultana Siddiqui, President and Founder of HUM Network.
The city's Hillcroft neighborhood is home to a very large Pakistani community, which organizers say made the choice very easy to pick Houston.
"All these ex-pats living in Houston, for them the country has come to them, so it's a big thing for all of us," Qureshi said.

FitnessBlender How many calories did I burn during this exercise? I see two numbers so I'm confused.
Why am I just discovering this channel!? Thank you so much!
Shekaina Tomlinson good luck!! Me too started on Jan 5th!! Keep posted!! ?
for some reason i cant exercise with out feeling embarrassed, even if im alone in my own house. any advice?
just know that you're furthering yourself. think about how happy you'll be when you get the results that you want.
hit the pause button but never quit!
righto. I'll move on when I can get the ab crunches down.
it's been the 2nd week I've done this. I'm getting used to the routine of doing this video every other day. I barely feel muscle pain after doing these video. I'm still struggling with the ab crunches though, that take me out the quickest.
I'll keep doing this until I can do the ab crunches more properly then move on to a higher intensity workout video, any recommendation ?
how is that working out for you ?
I don't understand the Calories they put at the bottom of the video. Why there is a range? So exactly when we finish this work out, how many calories have been burn? Anybody please help to make it clear for me please.
Oh, I got it. Thanks Marla for your explanation. Have you tried this work out? I am trying to loose my weight.
For example 031-061 calories means if you do it like Kelli does with high intensity you'll burn 61 calories. but if you do it with low intensity you'll burn 31 calories.
I had a spine surgery 3 month ago I have multiple esteniosis do you think I can do this?
i finished the 27 mins video,im not tired but im sweating so much, is it safe to do another exercise video?
I Do 3 Muscle Building Workouts a week. Can I Do this in between, so that i wouldnt have any Rest Day?
Very good. Thanks a lot!
Just started working out again and wanted something that wouldn't kill me! jajajaja this video was great and really felt it! Sweating like a ????
this was supposed to be low impact, but I broke a huge sweat lol..
I want to get into a workout routine but all the sweat and oils give me acne ): any advice?


This is a MUST read! I read this book awhile back (before my oh so amazing blog came about) and finished it within a week! I have gotten family members & friends to read it because of my persistence on how good it is! Not one person has yet to come back to me with anything negative to say – only how they could not put it down! It is such a quick read that tangles you into a whacky marriage with events that only pull you in more. So get to it & buy it here.
