Leakage current meter - recommendations?
Discussion in 'Electrical Tools and Products' started by l4urence, Mar 16, 2019.
Discuss Leakage current meter - recommendations? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectrciansForums.co.uk.
I'm looking at buying something for measuring leakage current - The Megger DCM305e (I think). Not specifically for nuisance tripping but more for DC leakage current - type A vs AC RCD (type AC flooding with DC and not tripping). Not a lot of info on the DC side - except DC units for PV, I understand the AC leakage sits on top on the DC value - so say 2mA AC leakage, and 2mA DC leakage - would show 4mA? if the meter cannot 'see' the DC then it's not what I need. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions are welcome.
Mines a cheapo from ebay. AC only. Had it for years. Was about 70 quid back then I think. Is accurate though. A mate at work has an earlier megger offering. I have compared readings before and virtually identical.
So, I already have a cheap clamp meter. The exam question here is how can I prove that a type AC RCD will be rendered useless by the DC leakage current - I could be reading AC leakage which is fine. How can I possibly recommend a A type if I cannot measure the 6mA DC threshold leakage current.
Hi,i was having one of those DCM305e jobbies,thrust at me,during a recent tool fair....i don't recall the DC part being mentioned.
I'm the in the same boat, I thought it did but haven't read anything more - market appears to be for overtripping AC leakage but I'm interested in seeing whether the loads connected have DC leakage that could prevent the AC type operating. It may well pass the RCD testing but when the family is home and watching TV, computer, games and charging through USB sockets - all electronic devices - are they now in danger?
Can you not just test the RCD?
If it works there's no dc current saturating the coil.
Thanks @spinlondon Exactly - that's where we are but the dc leakage will come from usage, so if during the test equipment is off, say people are out it'll pass. Was thinking of a test extension lead with the earth looped out for the clamp and monitor DC leakage on equipment. I'm trying to verify that the leakage is high enough to justify and recommend an A type over AC based on the equipment being used.
I saw this also when looking through the BBB (Regulation 531.3.2/3). I'm also considering buying a earth leakage clamp meter.
The way I read it we have two issue's..
If we are considering changing a consumer unit for a dual RCD type we should measure the earth leakage beforehand to check the accumulation of earth leakage and avoid nuisance tripping. The only way is using a earth leakage clamp meter.
Then secondly is the point you mention above about DC leakage currents causing AC type RCDs not to operate.
IMO In most situations it's pretty rare that on a single circuit there is enough DC earth leakage to cause a RCBO to operate, even if its a AC type. However, a bunch of circuits covered by a RCD in a split load CU could cause problems.
I generally just play it safe and install A type RCBO CUs anyway because without measuring there is no way of knowing.
Good answer - you understand exactly. There is no way of knowing and your 'playing safe' is my view too. It would be nice to be able to know and prove it. I'm not concerned that the DC would trip the AC type - I'm interested to see whether the DC leakage would flood the AC coil and prevent it from operating against an AC fault.
"Type A RCDs are not suitable for detecting smooth DC residual currents since they result in pre-magnetization of the summation current transformer and therefore significantly impair functionality. Based on the relevant product standards, the maximum load which may be applied to Type A RCDs in the event of a fault is 6 mA DC, regardless of their rated residual current"
so - the 6mA DC - measured... how?
I'm not concerned that the DC would trip the AC type - I'm interested to see whether the DC leakage would flood the AC coil and prevent it from operating against an AC fault.
The Hager rep I spoke to a while back seems to think so. He told me that over the last few years RCDs have been returned to them as faulty, when tested back at Hager they found that they are not. Hager put it down to DC leakage stopping the AC RCDs working, this apparently us why their split load boards now ship with A type RCDs.
I've never seen it personally, and it was only a rep I spoke to.
In theory it could happen I suppose.
Personally, I wouldn't be swapping an AC type for an A type.
I would be swapping either an A or AC type for a B type.
@spinlondon Agree absolutely. I just wanted a way to prove it - with a measurement. With more and more electronics being used on domestic circuits, I believe this will become important, since an AC or indeed A type RCD may not be protecting them but passing the tests. Don't get me wrong here, not wishing to scare tactic selling RCD's, just interested when regs / tech points at a solution (like AFDD's...) with no way of proving or testing!

Rowan County Sheriff's Office fires deputy for using excessive force
Published 4:28 pm Wednesday, January 12, 2022
A section of the termination letter addressed to Luby.
SALISBURY — The Rowan County Sheriff's Office fired a deputy on Nov. 30 for using excessive force during an arrest, according to a termination letter obtained by the Salisbury Post through a public records request.
The termination letter, addressed to Tyler Luby, 27, said the deputy violated a Rowan County Sheriff's Office policy related to excessive force during an incident on Nov. 16, but the letter does not specify the exact actions Luby took.
The letter was signed by Sheriff Kevin Auten and asked Luby to return all Sheriff's Office-issued equipment as soon as possible.
In the Nov. 16 incident, two people were arrested after a sheriff's deputy was dragged for 50 feet and another lost a ring finger during a chase that started at Food Lion on Statesville Boulevard. Luby was not one of the injured deputies.
Jeffrey Wayne Massey of Rockwell was charged in the case and faces seven counts of assault on a government official with a deadly weapon. Michelle Lynn Hamby was also jailed on charges that included two counts of assault on a government official.
Both remain in jail — Massey with a $1 million bond and Hamby with a $35,000 bond. In Massey's booking photo, a bandage is wrapped around his head.
The chase started around 11 p.m. on Nov. 16 when two deputies pulled into the rear parking lot of the Food Lion on Statesville Boulevard and observed a rented 2021 Volkswagen Passat turn on its headlights and drive away.
After deputies attempted to make a stop, the incident report stated Massey's vehicle dragged a deputy about 50 feet as it fled the scene. The deputy received injuries to his head, knuckles, wrists, fingers, elbows, knees, right ankle and right shoulder.
Highway Patrol troopers used spike strips on the Passat. A deputy attempted three pursuit intervention technique (PIT) maneuvers on the vehicle before the last was successful. As law enforcement officers forced Massey to the ground, a deputy's left ring finger was amputated, but the incident report didn't provide details about how that happened.
Asked Wednesday, Chief Deputy David Ramsey said he couldn't comment on Luby's dismissal or the Nov. 16 incident.
In November, Ramsey said the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said deputies received information prior to the chase that Massey intended to try and commit "suicide by cop."
Luby was first hired by the Rowan County Sheriff's Office on Oct. 18, 2020. There are no prior demotions, suspensions or separations on his personnel record. He received a cost-of-living pay increase from $40,612.76 per year to $41,425.02 per year on July 1.

Fargen Amplification Introduces Second John Lennon Signature Guitar Amplifier
February 28, 2013 by janaya64
Sacramento, CA February 28, 2013 – Fargen Amplification has introduced the second guitar amplifier in its line that honors and pays tribute to John Lennon. The JL-15 combines John Lennon's signature tone from the 60's and 70's with his world-renowned self-portrait … in a unique offering for guitarists and Lennon fans.
The JL-15 is the production version modeled after the limited edition Artist Series announced last December. The JL-15 is built with the same circuit, featuring a two-way Decade Switch that switches between distinctive John Lennon tones across the 60's and 70's – providing the guitarist with two amps in one. The amp also features a proprietary WGS ceramic speaker and a special acoustically transparent and UV-protected grill cloth that serves as the canvas for John Lennon's iconic self-portrait.
"I've taken the design and features from the original limited edition Lennon Artist Series and built them into the JL-15, which is more accessible by players at-large, priced as the market would expect in a boutique combo," says Ben Fargen, founder. " The tones produced by this amp are extremely accurate and based on years of knowledge and experience, not available like this elsewhere in the market."
Fargen has licensed the rights to produce this line, from Bag One Enterprises and Live Nation Merchandise, and is distributing this on its website, and through it's network of authorized dealers including music instrument stores and art galleries. Details are available on the website and dealer inquiries are welcome.
The JL-15 is now available through Fargen's authorized dealers, priced at $2,700 MSRP.

Hosted by Eddie Trunk of That Metal Show
ROCK N' ROLL HEAVEN and the OLD BRIDGE METAL MILITIA are uniting to bring you their highly-anticipated Reunion Concert and Fundraiser to benefit the victims of Superstorm Sandy. The event will take place on May 11, 2013 at Encore Event Center in Freehold, NJ (106 Schank Rd).
New Jersey birthed heavy metal in the United States in the early 1980's. The state of New Jersey was an integral part of launching the careers of these bands, as well as everyone from Bruce Springsteen to The Misfits to Bon Jovi and more. Now, ROCK N' ROLL HEAVEN and the OLD BRIDGE METAL MILITIAare bringing these genre-founding metal bands together for this special event.
Eddie Trunk (That Metal Show) will perform Master of Ceremonies duties with special guest hosts and an all-star jam to be announced. With a now confirmed line-up of Anvil, Raven, The Rods and Lords of Mercy this evening is poised for a metal pounders delight.
Doors will open at 7:00pm and there will be a drinking section for those 21+. Tickets will go on sale shortly so stay tuned for purchase links coming soon. R N' R HEAVEN and OBMM ask all attendees to bring canned goods or non-perishable food items for a food drive which will benefit local area soup kitchens and shelters.
ROCK N' ROLL HEAVEN/Megaforce Records/ Crazed Management founders Jon and Marsha Zazula are gearing up for the reunion. "It's really great to bring the Militia together again and we look forward to seeing all of the old faces and new faces, both young and old," state the Zazula's. "We've already heard that fans are coming in from Germany and even up from Florida. They don't even know the line-up yet, that's how cool this is! We can't wait to bang with the best of them for this really good cause."
John Gallagher of Raven adds, "We are proud to be part of this historic gathering of the clans of our old stomping grounds for such a worthy cause and are ready to kick major ass!!!"
"The Zazula's and I made some great albums together," adds Carl Canedy of The Rods. "Rock, Garry and I look forward to working with our good friends once again. No one throws a metal bash like the Z's."
Lips of Anvil states, "Doing this gig in NJ is exceptionally special to Anvil. We are expecting to see many of the original people we met back in '82 when we played the Route 18 Flea Market. We have remained close friends through the metal ages… we look forward to our moments together again. See you all soon."
Rockin Ray and Metal Joe, of the OLD BRIDGE METAL MILITIA adds, "We would like to take this opportunity to invite music lovers to a reunion of ROCK N' ROLL HEAVEN and the OLD BRIDGE METAL MILITIA. It should be a rockin' night that will benefit the victims of Superstorm Sandy. Please come and show your support."
"Lords of Mercy are proud to be a part of such a historical event," states Pete Perrina of local metal band Lords of Mercy. "We are ready to promote this show and kick ass come show time. This show is guaranteed to be one of the HEAVEST shows of 2013!"
This is an event to benefit the victims of Superstorm Sandy, which wreaked havoc on the Jersey Shore and on the lives of its residents. Superstorm Sandy has left dozens dead and thousands homeless – making it the worst storm in the region's history. This is a 100% non-profit event.
Invite your friends, family and neighbors! All are welcome – Keep your kids in tow and enjoy Encore and 'iPlay America' – check it out at this link.

… most of us prefer piffle, especially patriotic piffle or piffle serving some political agenda, be that left or right.
We may get a serving of piffle tonight on SBS on the subject of Eureka, which has attracted much well-intentioned piffling and some not so well-intentioned – a bit like Ned Kelly. Tonight's SBS offering (Dirty Business) won't all be piffle, of course, if one is to judge from last week, some of which was most interesting. But it will be very scrappy and rather too obviously thesis-driven, as certainly was last week. It is not nearly as good, in my view, as The First Australians, currently being repeated on NITV.
The Victorians (the royal era, not the Aussie state) were excellent at patriotic piffling, inventing whole rafts of tradition. The Irish and Scots have been excellent pifflers – take for example the oeuvre of Sir Walter Scott – and of late – well almost twenty years ago – we had Braveheart. Last night ABC2 offered The True Story: Braveheart. I was impressed.
Braveheart – Mel Gibson's Oscar winning box office smash of 1995 tells the story of real life Scottish rebel and freedom fighter William Wallace. With savage battle scenes, a cast of thousands and a tragic love story at its heart, it is a sweeping historical epic brought to the screen with stunning photography set amongst the highlands of Scotland.
But ever since it was first shown historians have asked questions about the accuracy of the movie. No one doubts that William Wallace was a real historical character – as was Edward 1st, Robert the Bruce, and many others who feature in the film. But was he really the "ordinary joe" made good portrayed by Mel Gibson, and did his life unfold in the way Braveheart depicts?
On the poem see Blind Harry's Wallace: Introduction and Index.
…There are many episodes in Harry's poem which will never be possible to prove as having occurred. However, there are passages that have been proven false. One example comes from the opening stanza, in which Harry states that Wallace was the son of Malcolm Wallace, yet the letter Wallace wrote to the Hanseatic League after the Scots' victory at the Battle of Stirling carried Wallace's seal, which clearly states that he was "Wilelmus Filius Alani Walais" – William, son of Alan Wallace. Harry's recounting of the Battle of Falkirk, July 1298, provides another example: it is documented that this battle was won by the English side, yet Harry's version maintains that the Scots had the advantage, and concludes with King Edward fleeing in fear for his life.
Regardless of whether Harry had sources beyond oral tradition upon which to base his poem, and the fact that the poem reads as a biography of William Wallace, it should be considered historical fiction – a long-lived ballad that expresses profound pride in a nation's patriot hero.
So Braveheart is, one could say, piffle. Very convincing piffle for some. Compare How accurate was "Braveheart"?
In brief, the history in "Braveheart" is absolute garbage.
William Wallace did indeed lead a rebellion against English occupation in 1296. He won a surprising victory at Stirling Bridge and lost at Falkirk. After his capture, he was tried and executed as depicted. That's about all that matches history. The rest of the film was inaccurate, grossly distorted, or absolutely made up. I can't cover it all (and I should have done this when my memory of th film was fresher) but here are some, er, "highlights".
Wallace was portrayed as a poor man who was secretly married right before he got in trouble with the English. Actually, he was a landed commoner with a good education, and in peaceful times he might have been a scholar. All landed men were required to sign the Ragman Roll, which bound signatories in loyalty to England's King Edward I. Those who refused, like Wallace, were outlawed. In response, Wallace and Andrew Moray organized other outlawed men into an army. Moray was killed at Stirling Bridge and mostly forgotten, and was not mentioned in the film. Wallace was invovled in a romantic relationship, but he was unable to settle down due to spending his entire adult life at war or in hiding. He was with her when the English discovered his hiding place. When they discovered she had stalled them to give Walalce time to escape, she and the rest of the household were killed.
From watching "Braveheart", one would think that Wallace invented the use of spears against cavalry in a moment of improvisation. Everyone in the Clann knows that this tactic is literally ancient. From the film, a viewer would think that these Scottish peasants could find swords and axe heads, but somehow couldn't manage spearpoints. Also, they didn't stand in one big mob, but in circular formations called schiltrons, the predecessors of our pike blocks, and a formation Wallace might have invented but certainly perfected. At least they looked impressive with their painted faces, which was indeed a Celtic practice—during Roman times, over a thousand years before.
During the battle of Falkirk, Wallace was shown going into battle against the wishes of the other Scottish commanders. The accounts I've seen indicate the opposite, that he opposed fighting then on the grounds that the field did not offer the advantages of Stirling Bridge. It was a neat scene when the Irish troops with the English switched sides as they were supposed to charge into battle, but I never heard of this incident. We also saw the Scottish nobles desert Wallace and ruin his plans right as the battle started, but I haven't heard of this happening either. The cavalry did withdraw without orders, but the circumstances are unclear, though he might have won with them available. It's true his hold over the Scottish lords and chiefs was weak. He wasn't knighted until after Stirling Bridge (quite possibly by Robert Bruce) at which time he was made Guardian, which gave him the power of a king. However, having no land or vassals, his leadership depended wholly upon success in battle. When he lost his luster he was replaced.
In the aftermath of Falkirk came the scene that almost made me yell at the screen. When Wallace goes riding after King Edward, one of the knights accompanying Edward turns to stop Wallace and knocks him off his horse. When his face is uncovered, this knight turns out to be—-Robert Bruce. A great dramatic twist, but why don't the histories mention Bruce at Falkirk? Most likely he wasn't there, or else he fought with Wallace but did nothing significant. "Braveheart" portrayed Bruce so villainously that the English chroniclers who demonized him would have been envious. When, at the end of the film, Bruce asks the soldiers at Bannockburn if they will fight for him, he wouldn't have reason to doubt: they had been following him for years already. I'll admit having Bruce as narrator was a great idea, but that doesn't alter my opinion of his portrayal.
Hollywood thinks movies have to have romance, but Wallace and Princess Isabella? I've never heard of a princess being used as an envoy, and with such an important mission to boot. I don't even know that she had gone to England and married Edward II during Wallace's lifetime. It's difficult to believe she ever met Wallace or that she was this delicate flower who was ashamed of English cruelty toward the Scots. On the contrary, she had her husband imprisoned and murdered when he refused to abdicate in favor of their son, and she then launched her own invasion of Scotland….
Lately I keep encountering in novels and newspapers the idiom "bored of" – which strikes my ear with a very loud cacophonous clang! When did this happen, I ask?
So I did ask Oxford.
The first two constructions, bored with and bored by, are the standard ones. The third, bored of, is more recent than the other two and it's become extremely common. In fact, the Oxford English Corpus contains almost twice as many instances of bored of than bored by. It represents a perfectly logical development of the language, and was probably formed on the pattern of expressions such as tired of or weary of. Nevertheless, some people dislike it and it's not fully accepted in standard English. It's best to avoid using it in formal writing.
I trust you are not so bored with this as not to want any more… Let's resist it, albeit in vain. BORED WITH! Understand? WITH!

Commercial For Idiotic Toy Runs On Fox News & Everyone Is LOSING It
Trumpy Bear, the Build-a-Bear knockoff raised in hell, is here to stay! You absolutely need to watch this bizarre commercial for this even weirder toy ASAP.
Greetings from your nightmares! There's a 100% real toy on the market called Trumpy Bear, which is pretty much what you're imagining: a teddy bear with an orange combover and a tiny suit to look like President Donald Trump. The bear itself is weird enough, but it's amplified by its absolutely insane commercial, some kind of horrifying abomination of a marketing decision made during a bad acid trip. "The wind whispered through the forest. A storm is coming…you cannot defeat the storm," a booming voiceover says as we're shown a forest with a grizzly bear poorly photoshopped in. "From the trees rose a resounding voice: 'I fear nothing. I come when the Trumpet sounds. I am the storm. The great American grizzly.'" Cut to a goofy stuffed animal wearing Trump cosplay, covered in red, white, and blue confetti. Trumpy Bear is here.
It's hard to believe that this isn't one of Tim and Eric's Cinco Toys sketches or a fake Saturday Night Live commercial. This is a real product that you can buy for just two installments of $19.95, folks. Snopes confirmed that Trumpy Bear is also not a satirical toy making fun of MAGA supporters. It's made by Exceptional Products, the company responsible for things like Hairdini, Save a Blade and Plaque Attack. Their vision statement for the toy is "not a joke," as they told Snopes. It reads, in part: "In 1902 the teddy bear was born and named after President Teddy Roosevelt. When President Donald Trump was elected to office as the first non-politician president, I felt it was time to name an American fearless grizzly bear after our new Commander in Chief. I designed the Trumpy Bear in a recognizable image of our current president."
There are no words to truly describe the insanity of the rest of the commercial, but we'll try. Trumpy Bear was born on Flag Day. You can unzip his head and pull out a blanket that looks like the American flag. Trumpy Bear has then hung half-mast on a flagpole, and set on a counter next to a decaying photo of a WWII soldier and his medal of honor. "God bless America, and God bless Trumpy Bear!" an elderly woman yells as she hugs the toy in front of another flag. Trumpy Bear is also enjoyed by a grown man who puts him on the front of his motorcycle, and another man who brings him along in his golf cart. "When I ride with Trumpy Bear, he makes my golf game great again. Thank you, Trumpy Bear," he declares with a smile.
Still with us? It gets worse. A woman combs his hair and places him in a seat of honor in her home, kind of like that haunted porcelain doll the nanny is forced to take care of in The Boy. A nondescript businessman declares that the bear, which now has magic powers, makes his business deals better. "I love you, Trump Bear!" Oh great; now the bear has a tiny MAGA hat. The commercial notes in the fine print that the president hasn't endorsed this product. Trumpy Bear isn't actually a new toy. The commercial first surfaced in October 2017 but went under the radar. When it ran last night (November 11) on Fox News, people took notice and freaked TF out, as they should. Fox News' Senior Vice President of Eastern Sales, Dom Rossi, told HollywoodLife that "This was a local ad purchase with the cable operator. We do not do business with them nationally."
The reactions ranged from people noting that you could make some…customizations to the toy. It's hilarious, but remember — you're still paying $40 for the Trump toy and not owning anyone if you buy it. Other reactions ranged from the dismayed ("I was told in the 70's we would have flying cars by now. I want flying cars," per @PinkIguana11) to dunks on the president. "Trumpy Bear is going to get its bear butt kicked by Pooh Bear. Pooh isn't afraid of rain and he has real friends in high and low places," @Ndreajess tweeted. "Are they full of s**t and KFC scented? Curious about how disrespectful it is to shove an American Flag up a bears backside is to the folks who are very concerned about the treatment of our flag," wrote @FMPreachersWife. Damn!

Pakistan Shoots Down Indian Fighter Jet 24new
Pakistan Army Confirms Indian Jets Shot Down in Pakistan


"Tom Norton for Mayor" signs far outnumbered those for Ed Phillipsen around town this fall. Norton outspent the veteran councilman by more than $14,000.
The race between Norton, a longtime businessman and veteran state senator, and Phillipsen, a mental health therapist and eight-year council member, seemed to shape up for a close finish. But when Norton's fundraising far outpaced Phillipsen on the home stretch, it appeared the 45-year Greeley resident was gaining momentum against the 33-year resident.
The razor-thin outcome, a 60-vote margin for Norton, became the talk of election night.
Wones, who served as Greeley's mayor from 1999-2003, said he expected a tight race.
He pointed out that Tom Roche outspent Tom Selders by a roughly 2-to-1 margin in the 2003 Greeley mayoral race but ended up losing. Selders won by 477 votes.
"The mood of the city I don't think is ever fully understood until all the votes are counted," Wones said.
The measure lost by a 2-to-1 margin.
Phillipsen, who cast his populist-oriented experience against Norton's big-government pedigree, pointed out that Norton had widely outspent him during the campaign. "I think had I been able to get my message out better, perhaps the outcome might not have been as close," he said Tuesday night.
Sean Conway, a Weld County commissioner and longtime observer of Weld County politics, said the tight race was indicative of two quality candidates.
Conway ended up voting for Norton, whom he has known many years and frequently dealt with when Norton headed the Colorado Department of Transportation.
He said he didn't know how many residents received the Greeley 9.12 Project flier – the group said it was mailed to 4,800 homes – but he did hear people talking about it.
Sarah MacQuiddy, president of the Greeley Chamber of Commerce, said she viewed the candidates as offering strengths to different constituencies.
Norton, for example, was likely favored by those who view Greeley's relationship with UNC as a strength and something to capitalize on, she said. His wife, Kay Norton, is president of UNC.
Others voters may not have viewed such a partnership as a plus, she said.
"You never went any place (in the city) where it was just overwhelming" support for either Norton or Phillipsen, she said.
Conway agreed that the narrow margin reflected the long records of public service Norton and Phillipsen have in Greeley.

Killer Mike Takes Strong Stance in Defense of Gun Ownership in NRA Interview
BySajae Elder
Sajae is a Toronto-based writer and host of the podcast, Free Goods. You can find her tweeting general foolishness here.
As many people are throwing their support behind the March for Our Lives rallies and the larger conversation around gun control in the U.S., Atlanta rapper Killer Mike has a very different view of what's going on.
He recently sat down with NRA TV host and guns rights activist Colion Noir to defend gun ownership and said he discouraged his children from taking part in the high school walkouts from earlier this month. "I told my kids on the school walkout: 'I love you but if you walk out that school, walk out my house.'" The Run The Jewels MC is known for his strong political stances on racism, mass incarceration, and other issues, and while this interview might have caught some by surprise, he's been an outspoken NRA supporter (and member) for quite some time.
In Mike's view, the important discussions about gun control should include voices from both sides. He also said that gun owners want violence against children to end, though they disagree on how to achieve that. "I have worked as a tireless advocate of children and disenfranchised women in my community. And I have also worked with gun groups like Georgians Against Gun Violence [...] If there's a table to be sat at, the gun owner needs to be there, so I try to see the problem from the whole perspective," he said in the clip. Mike and the host echoed similar ideas and claimed that though they may be viewed as "lackeys" for the NRA, the onus of that title is actually on everyone else. "You're a lackey of the progressive movement because you've never disagreed with the people who tell you what to do," the rapper explained.
POST CONTINUES BELOW
The conversation shifted slightly to focus on the March for Our Lives protests, namely regarding the financial support it has received thus far. "Our biggest celebrities are donating millions to a march while our inner-city schools are in deplorable conditions," said Noir, to which Mike agreed and added, "Celebrities are told what to do." He went on to take down not only anti-gun campaigns but shared that he declined to do an anti-bullying drop for an unnamed radio station. "Your child needs to get punched in the face so he can learn to punch someone back," he said. "You have to develop the aptitude to fight back. We are raising a generation of kids where everyone gets a trophy. But in real life, everyone don't get a trophy. In real life, the cops don't come on time."

This is to revive - through a concert - the lost generation, called "generation of the Republic", of these Spanish musicians and poets, who have suffered in their personal artistic development, tragic circumstances that followed the military rebellion July, 1936.
Composer and music manager in Madrid, host of a "Group of the 8" in imitation of the French "Group of the 6" before his final exile in France in 1939.
This highly talented musician was shot in October 1936 by the Falange in Burgos. Ravel said of him: "... the great Spanish musician expected by our century ..."
The poet had to flee his country in 1938. He was part of a generation of exiled writers to be called "the generation without readers."
The great Catalan, not only refused any proposal to return to Spain, like a Picasso, but gave up playing the cello to mark its disapproval of laxity of the international community towards the new Spanish regime.
The most famous flamenco guitarist of his generation, exiled in 1937, remained in New York for 30 years before returning to Spain.
Chilean poet, a friend of Garcia Lorca, was also an active and unconditional support of the Spanish Republicans.
Work written using musical themes of the War in Spain 1936-1939.
Close to the Republic unlike his brother Regino, he was one of the few that was not forced to exile.
Friend of Garcia Lorca, he left Spain in 1939 and refused any proposal to return from the victorious government.
The " murdered poet" shot by the Guardia Civil realized an accompaniment for piano for old songs he rendered popular around the world. They have been used in many versions.
Pupil of Granados and Schönberg, modernist, this very admired composer was part of the "Group of Independent Catalan Composers' before his final exile in London in 1939.
Commemorate the Spanish Republic and its ideals? The Civil War and its victims? The deportees and resistance fighters, its resistance? Remember the 36 years of the dictatorship that followed? Listen and give to listen the sound of silence and the voices of the artists of that time?
Live, share a memory that is a present.
MUSIC AND POETRY want to make a careful and grateful tribute homage of allegiance to these women, these men for whom "freedom", "justice" were so few empty words they marched into exile, they risked their lives - and often lost - by choice of this bread, this light that we are greedy.
"Poetry required / As the daily bread ..." said the poet Gabriel Celaya.
This bread, this poetry - the construction of tens of thousands of schools testify - the Spanish republic tried, from 1931 to 1936, to include them in the day; but the military coup of July, ended at this point of the history of Spain; and began with the Civil War and the dictatorship of Franco, the red series 380 000-451 000 deaths that followed.
Lorca! Your name, your poetry, did not die under the bullets of the soldiers: your name, your poetry continue to proclaim silently half a million dead from this fratricidal struggle.
Miguel Hernandez! Your commitment, your poetry did not die in the cold of the prison: your commitment, your poetry always tremble in dizziness famine.
"¡No pasarán!": The cry of resistance still resonates. But it was another half a million Spaniards who had to pass the border, leaving the country.
The then "¡No pasarán! " now seem ridiculous. Are they no longer needed, more demanding than ever?
"Caminante, no hay camino / se hace camino al andar" (Walker, there is no way / It's walking that is making the way) told the poet Antonio Machado, who died in Collioure little time after fleeing Spain in 1939.
Yes, no doubt we are - everyone - doomed to exile. To express this exile, only one verse is enough to Vicente Aleixandre who, precisely, despite his leftist ideas, not left Spain after the Civil War: "We're a flash between two obscurities" ... Certainly. And probably among the thousands of languages that exist on this planet, is one where "exile" and "man" are synonymous!
When in exile there is also political history, the score will have to play without the exiled necessarily know the key. Exile to the power of 2?
And, for the creator in his own country, who knows to turn it into art, the experience of exile, what happens? More ease? More discomfort?
Cernuda ... In France, England, the United States .. it is in spanish he continued the fulfillment of his poetry. The flow, the sounds of the language he used, he only found the end of his life ... in Mexico!
Sabicas ... Can you imagine what exile meant to the guitarist, flamenco star of the sixties and seventies? How, did he live in a remote New York at odds with his origin fire ?
Manuel de Falla, Salvador Bacarisse, Roberto Gerhard ... How did you manage to continue without ever hear (if not in the memory of the body - where hearing becomes living) these streets, these rhythms of daily life and centuries, the music of cries and rumors?
Maurice Ravel told you "The great Spanish musician expected by our century ..."
Guitars, guitars, that Pablo Picasso painted because he can not hear you!
"Poetry is a future loaded gun," Gabriel Celaya severed in a text that generous voice Paco Ibañez * - another child of the Republic - broadcasted in environments where, perhaps, the poems would never be able to go... as Federico Garcia Lorca, with his traveling troupe "La Barraca", brought classical works of Spanish theater in front of the villagers, Paco Ibañez, chose in the Spanish Golden Age jewels which he distributed to all: Góngora, Quevedo shone again all their lights. And with them, Paco Ibañez sang the light of poems of the Republic: Blas de Otero, Rafael Alberti, Miguel Hernandez, Luis Cernuda ... Texts affirming humanistic values, poems shouting or chasing up the beauty ... to live, share.
Pablo Casals, also convinced by the organic link between culture and democracy, had a weapon in his cello; during his long life, the musician, with unwavering faith in art and in the values that it can transmit, tried to promote access to music for the greatest number: He created orchestras and associations concerts, he played during the Civil War, in turbulent conditions. As for his recordings, they will still inhabited by the energy, enthusiasm - out of borders - of life who believes, that grows in life.
Admiring the works of art, we are stirred by the correctness of the discourse of Miguel de Unamuno, philosopher and rector of the University of Salamanca; speech which responded in these terms to the "¡Viva la Muerte!" of General Milán Astray, founder of the Legion Etrangère : "You will conquer because you have more brute force than necessary. But you will not convince."
Refusing with Manuel de Falla, expanding with Pablo Casals, be free with Joan Miro, building with Luis Buñuel, persevere with Salvador Espriu, living with Gabriel Celaya, creating with one and all, and repeat: "Poetry required / As the daily bread ..."

Riverbench Vineyard & Winery
Santa Maria Valley AVA
riverbench.com
World-class winery named 'One of the Top Wineries in the World'
Although the reputable 'Riverbench' name has been known in Santa Maria Valley since the 1970's (known for its excellent vineyard site and expressive, high-demand fruit), the development of Riverbench Winery didn't come about until just recently, and the transformation is unlike any other in California history.
Originally planted in 1973 to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the Riverbench Vineyard has been a fruit source for many of the most renowned wineries in Santa Barbara County for over 30 years. The rocky, gravelly soil of the old riverbed proved ideal for the Burgundian grape varietals and Riverbench became a prominent source in the county as the vineyard consistently turned out excellent fruit, year after year.
This alluvial soil also attracted a different crowd - miners - who saw the property as a potentially successful mining site. A group of local families who owned Union Asphalt (the biggest supplier of construction aggregates on the Central Coast at the time) purchased the Riverbench Vineyard site in 2004, and hired a vineyard manager by the name of Jim Stollberg to maintain and manage the thriving vineyard. Union Asphalt continued to sell the highly coveted grapes to wineries in the immediate area.
Wine drinkers themselves, the Union Asphalt owners quickly became enamored with the wine industry and decided to start their own wine label using small quantities of their exceptional fruit - and Riverbench Winery was ultimately born. It wasn't long before they decided the wine business was much more fun than the rock business and actually ended up selling Union Asphalt to concentrate completely on the growing winery. The wine industry was a new venture, but the families had a great business sense from their experience with Union Asphalt, so they hired the best winemaker (Chuck Ortman of Meridian Vineyards and Ortman Family Wines) and industry professionals they could to get the winery going.
The highly anticipated first release from Riverbench Winery came in 2006 with 2,500 cases (an even split between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir). Met with immediate rave reviews, it was clear that the reputation of the vines would carry through to the new namesake winery and its limited production wines.
In 2011, Clarissa Nagy took over the Head Winemaker role at Riverbench, bringing with her years of winemaking experience at top Central Coast wineries. Clarissa is known for her elegant, sophisticated winemaking style, and for her appreciation of fruit from the Santa Maria Valley. She continues to refine Riverbench wines with each vintage, and adds her own unique style to the portfolio.
With accolades including being named 'One of the Top Wineries in the World' by the Professional Wine Buyer's Competition, Riverbench Winery is now one of the top producers on the Central Coast and we are proud to share one of their latest offerings with our Gold Plus! Wine of the Month Club members. Cheers!
Each and every wine selected for our six different Wine Clubs meets our strict guidelines for quality and rating criteria. Each wine is handcrafted by an authentic, small-production boutique winery with a compelling story to tell like the one above. Since our first Gold Wine Club shipment in 1992, we have added five more impressive Wine Clubs to choose from—each a showcase for highly-rated, sought-after wines you can enjoy as a Gold Medal, wine of the month club member.

About the Vineyard
Riverbench Vineyard is situated on the southeastern edge of the Santa Maria Valley, an appellation known for its diverse microclimates and ideal conditions for growing Burgundian varietals. This distinct wine region is characterized by the valleys along the Pacific coastline, which run east to west instead of the more common north to south. Such a geographic peculiarity channels the cool ocean breezes inward, resulting in a mild and moderate climate where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay thrive.
Riverbench Vineyard was planted in 1973 as one of the Santa Maria Valley's first vineyards and originally consisted of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (today Pinot Gris and Viognier have also been added). For years, the fruit was sold to some of the most renowned wineries in Santa Barbara County, which helped establish the well-known Riverbench name.
Firmly committed to sustainable winegrowing practices, Riverbench is dedicated to conserving natural resources, protecting the environment, and maintaining long-term viability of the vineyard to continue producing the highest quality grapes possible.
Chuck Ortman - Winemaker
Chuck Ortman is recognized as one of California's most respected winemakers, with a career extending over 40 years and a developed signature "Ortman style" of winemaking.
Ortman began his winemaking career in the cellar at Napa Valley's Heitz Cellars in 1968. He quickly worked his way up in the winemaking ranks, and by the mid-1970's he was consulting for some of Napa Valley's premium wineries, including Far Niente, Shafer, and Cain. Ortman is also behind the founding of Meridian Vineyards in Paso Robles, California, and the success at Meridian helped establish the Central Coast as one of California's most dynamic and prestigious wine growing regions.
Ortman is now returning to his earlier days working at Riverbench Winery, as he used to source fruit from the vineyard for Meridian. Over three decades, he has watched the progression of the vineyard, and is proud to carefully handcraft stellar small lots of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the paramount sections of the Riverbench property.

Last month I celebrated my 40th birthday. It felt like a milestone, like a much bigger deal than when I reached 20 or 30. I wanted it to be special, so for our family celebration, I opted to be in nature. With my favorite people, hiking in the great outdoors, witnessing God's awesome beautiful design of the Earth, experiencing new sights, it felt like the perfect way to usher in the new decade.
Standing on the platform, looking out over the Blyde River Canyon, I was in awe. The formations that resemble round houses called rondavels, the way the weather has carved indentations in the rocks, the blue sky meeting the peak and the river meandering through the valley below…it was all evidence of the Creator, and I was witnessing one of His many skillful masterpieces.
That wasn't the first time my breath was taken away. We travel a lot, and I'm always amazed at the different types of beauty I witness all over the world. God has created so many things for us to enjoy. Some of them are obvious, but some of them are like secret treasures waiting to be discovered.
I was recently reading Indescribable by Louie Giglio. It's an excellent devotional inspired by science, and I love how he has made parallels with science and Scripture to teach a lesson. When I came to the devotion, "What's That Smell?!?," I had to laugh. He describes a flower in Indonesia that looks pretty on the outside but smells like a rotting corpse. Yuck! It reminded me of a plant we have here in South Africa that I simply call skunk weed, because I don't know the real name for it. It has beautiful green leaves and purple flowers that look similar to something you would find on a lavender plant, but if you bend down hoping to get a whiff of lavender, you will crinkle your nose in surprise and disgust. It actually smells like a skunk! There are no skunks in South Africa, so in a strange way, it actually reminds me of home.
The Earth is vast and there is so much to discover if we take the time to pause and look. Let us be like David in the Psalms when he stops to admire the work of God's hands. Let us be in awe of our Maker and this beautiful Earth He has created for us.
When was the last time you and your kids paused to admire God's beautiful design of the Earth? What did you learn about the Creator?

Now lets look to the future for a moment… and again we need only watch a well made sci-fi to see what may be coming. The images above and below are from the Prometheus movie (2012), part of the long running Alien series that started in 1979. Personally, I'm not a huge fan but much of the futuristic design is excellent. Here you see a character entering a cavernous structure where he releases a number of spherical objects that take off and hover through the spaces scanning their shape. Back in the main spaceship, lets call it the office we see a large scale digital table that shows the results in 3D with a hologram. The imagery can be seen updating live as the spheres carry on scanning the spaces, awesome.
We are not too far from this becoming a reality. Drones are here, the DJI Mavic has a feature where it will automatically follow the user so the concept of self navigating a building is not that crazy. We also have the Roomba automated vacuum cleaners & mops, these work only at floor level but the technology is there to keep track of the space and to avoid obstacles. Just now I've been shown a new room scanning device called the Occipital Structure Sensor, this is an attachment for your iPhone / iPad that, when paired with Canvas software, will produce 3D measured models of rooms. I don't know how accurate these are at this stage but I am keen to see them in action. Add to these a couple of other companies that are working around 3D scanning including Larki & Points Cloud and it all sounds very interesting.
Most of us use a Lieca Disto laser tape measure and we all thought they were impressive. Here are a few links to the companies mentioned above: Occipital, Roomba, DJI Mavic Drone, Larki & Points Cloud Australia. Also here is a link to a previous article on my predictions for large scale digital display desktop computers called CAD Work Tomorrow.


Medicinal plants have bioactive compounds which are used for curing of various human diseases and also play an important role in healing. The present study involves the leaves of Rhododendron nilagiricum which were collected from in and around Nilgiri district, Tamilnadu. The leaves of the selected medicinal plant was washed, air dried and then powdered. The Methanolic and Acetone extract of leaf sample was used for the phytochemical analysis to find out the phytochemical constituents in the plant. The main objective of the research work was to check the presence or absence of the phytochemical constituents in the selected medicinal plant and screen for the Antibacterial activity. The results of the phytochemical analysis of this medicinal plant showed the presence of phenols, saponins and tannins. The methanol and acetone extracts of the medicinal plant was evaluated for activity against medically important bacteria such as streptococcus sp . and Escherichia coli. The in vitro antimicrobial activity was performed by agar well diffusion method and disc diffusion method. The acetone extracts showed minimum antimicrobial activity when compared to methanolic extracts. The methanolic leaf extract of Rhododendron nilagiricum showed the maximum activity against Steptococcus sp. The use of plant extracts with known antimicrobial properties, can be of great significance in therapeutic treatments. The phytochemical analysis of the plants is very important commercially and has great interest in pharmaceutical companies for the production of the new drugs for curing of various diseases. It is expected that the important phytochemical properties recognized by our study in the medicinal plant of Rhododendron nilagiricum will be very useful in the curing of various diseases.
Keywords: Rhododendron nilagiricum, Phenols, saponins, tannins, antibacterial activity, Streptococcus sp. and Escherichia coli.

Markets are mixed in Asia, with Japan\'s benchmark slipping 0.7% after the government reported the economy contracted in the last quarter

BANGKOK -- Markets were mixed in Asia on Monday, with Japan\'s benchmark slipping 0.7% after the government reported the economy contracted 6.3% in annual terms in the last quarter. China\'s shares got a boost after the central bank stepped in to help the economy with a rate cut, extra buying of securities and tax cuts.

The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo closed at 23,523.24, while Sydney\'s S&P ASX/200 edged 1% lower to 7,125.10.
</RNVW><RNVW></RNVW><RNVW>
Such moves will likely be followed by still more, said Julian Evans-Pritchard, given that many of the companies worst affected by the virus outbreak are smaller ones that lack access to loans from major state-run banks.

The government has also announced plans for tax cuts and other measures to help companies struggling with shut-downs of cities and plunging consumer spending and travel.

"We think the PBOC will need to expand its re-lending quotas and relax constraints on shadow banking in order to direct more credit to struggling SMEs," Evans-Pritchard said in a commentary.

Wall Street closed out a wobbly day of trading Friday with the major stock indexes notching their second straight weekly gain. Though trading was mostly subdued and cautious following China\'s report Thursday of a surge in cases of a new virus that raised fresh concerns about global economic growth.

Q: Viktor, you are specialized on Norwegian football championships. What differentiates Norwegian football from other European leagues?
In many ways I feel that Norwegian football is not so different from other European leagues. But Norwegian football is not on the same level it was years ago when Rosenborg dominated year after year and even had success in the CL and made shockwaves throughout Europe. They put Norway on the map when it comes to football, together with the success in the 90's with the national team playing in the WC in USA and France and being 2nd placed in the FIFA rankings. Today the league lacks personalities in many ways and the few stars there are leave when they get the chance to play in a better league. Obviously the quality in Norwegian football is not on the same level as in many other European leagues. The season is also different from most leagues as it's usually being played from March until November. This has to do with the long and cold winters here. The weather conditions are also an important reason why many teams use artificial grass in their home stadiums. And when most leagues are on a break during summer the Norwegian leagues are still active. Often in Norway, especially this season, there is no clear title candidate and everyone can beat each other. The biggest difference however is the fact there are many goals being scored in Norway. Each year Norway is in the top worldwide when it comes to amount of scored goals on average each round. So excitement and entertainment is high here.
Q: Why did you choose to focus specifically on Norway?
Well, as I'm from Norway and live here it's quite naturally that this is the league I know the best and have most interest in. English Premier League have always been big in Norway, ever since Norwegian TV started to broadcast a Saturday match each round for more than 40 years ago. But there is always something special to follow your own domestic league and of course your local team. The Norwegian leagues don't share the same quality as many other European leagues but the drama, entertainment and excitement is the same. As is the importance of team info and news when it comes to betting, just like everywhere else. Being a local it's usually easier to obtain that info before the rest of the world. Norway is a rather small country and a small league compared to rest of Europe so it was usually easy to spot mistakes by the bookmakers. The last few years I've noticed an increase in interest for Norway leagues (when it comes to betting at least) and also that the bookmakers are smarter than before. Being a local you have a better chance at obtaining important info before it reaches the bookmakers. So being a local and having an interest for the sport and the leagues and at the same time being a bettor and tipster made it easy to focus specifically on Norway.
Q: So you will be active all this summer?
Yes! This is what is great about Norwegian football. When major leagues around Europe are on vacation, the ball keeps on rolling in Norway.
