text: Q: Music distortion from a Bluetooth board at high volume levels I have a Drok Bluetooth audio amplifier board that comprised of a TPA3116 audio amplifier, a JL Bluetooth receiver and processing IC and a couple of RLC circuits. I've noticed that when I turn up the volume all the way the music gets distorted, so I connected the audio out to an oscilloscope to see if it could give me some insight on the problem. The audio signal seems to get cut off when the amplitude of the audio signal surpasses the supply voltage. I have tried increasing the supply voltage to see if that would change the output, but it did not. Why does this distortion happen?

For many families, breakfast means having a bowl of cereal. It could be hot cereal, but nearly 90% of the cereal industry is comprised of cold cereal. Yet cereal isn't something that is just for breakfast. According to Mintel, 42% of people who identify themselves as cereal consumers would embrace having a bowl as their lunch or their dinner.
The cereal industry contributes an average of $11 billion in sales to the US food market every year.
Because there is such an emphasis on the cold cereal market, brands are looking to create a variety of products to attract new customers. This has helped the industry to have more granola, gluten-free, and non-GMO products than ever before. Organic cereals are also on the rise. Yet despite these changes, the cereal industry is actually experiencing a 5% decline. In the next decade, assuming prices remain static, Mintel expects to see 2% growth.
It's all about the sugar. The cereal industry uses approximately 816 million pounds of sugar each year, as reported by Scott Bruce and Bill Crawford. Or to put that in a different way: that's 3 pounds of sugar per person per year that's on the cereal.
Kid's cereals are typically the ones that have the most sugar in them. In a survey of over 1,500 breakfast cereals, the ones that are marketed toward children contain 40% more sugar compared to the ones marketed to adults. That means kids who have one bowl of sugar-sweetened cereal per year are adding 1,000 teaspoons of sugar to their diet.
Americans purchase about 2.7 billion boxes of cereal each year, which is the equivalent of eating 14 pounds of cereal per person.
Many cereals have begun to market the amount of protein they contain – like Cheerios Protein cereal. Yet the FDA has also acknowledged that cereals may contain protein from animal matter from the manufacturing process from insects and even rats as well.
There's also the fact that some breakfast cereals can actually be "over-fortified." Nearly two-dozen brands in a 2014 survey of cereals showed higher than safe levels of zinc, niacin and vitamin A.
Because of this, consumers are beginning to rediscover hot cereals. Although just 10% of the cereal industry, sales growth in this category has been steadily upward. Sales reached $1.4 billion in 2014, an increase of 6% from 2012-14. Mintel expects an increase of 11% by the year 2019 in this category.
For the cereal industry, it's all about perception. When a cereal is perceived to be healthy, then it typically does better in sales. When it is perceived as a cheap sugar high or has very little to offer nutritionally, then sales are going to lag. What we are seeing here is the same trends that other industries selling sugar-sweetened products are experiencing: a focus on personal health, especially when it comes to children right now. Parents are looking to control their weight and they don't want their children to be in the same situation they were while growing up. This means buying healthy cereals, hot cereals… or no cereal at all.
According to Prepared Foods, PepsiCo's sales increased 1% due to its Quaker line, which the company marketed as a filling, energy-providing breakfast food through its "Quaker Up" campaign.
Category leader Kellogg's overall sales declined 5% in the 52-week period ending May 18, 2014, but made gains with its Special K brand, which positioned itself as a late night indulgence as well as a breakfast food.
General Mills' sales decreased 3% in the same 52-week period, despite a brand-wide social media campaign that engaged users on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram through visual storytelling.
Within natural channels, both hot and cold cereal segments are growing, a direct contrast to the category as a whole. Sales of cereal in natural supermarkets reached $121 million in 2013, representing an increase of 22% from 2011-13. Sales are driven by the cold cereal segment, and gluten-free varieties.
42% of US adults indicate they are eating more cereal this year, compared to last year.
Younger men and women (aged 18-34) are most likely to indicate they are eating more hot and cold cereal, including both better-for-you and heavily sweetened varieties.
1 in 3 people say that they are trying to eat cereals which contain more protein in them. 1 in 4 people say that they are looking to cereals which have more fiber in them.
The youngest consumers responsible for purchasing are more likely to indicate they don't have time to eat breakfast [19%], or agree cereal is inconvenient to eat on the go [17%], so they avoid purchasing it.
Younger men and women in the 18-34 age demographic are most likely to indicate they are eating more hot and cold cereal, including both better-for-you and heavily sweetened varieties.
Younger consumers are more like than older consumers to have a preference of 4+ types of cereal that they eat on a regular basis.
When cereal is marketed as a healthy alternative that promotes some sort of personal benefit, then brands are seeing sales rise. When cereal is marketed as a late-night treat that doesn't have the same caloric hit as sweetened baked goods, candies, or other treats when a person is feeling peckish, then brands are seeing sales rise. When cereal takes a general marketing approach to market products to younger consumers, then brands are seeing sales fall. Why? Because cereal itself is seen as inconvenient. When there's a health connection to the cereal, however, consumers are willing to overlook the negative of inconvenience because the positive health effects [real or perceived] outweigh them.
About 30% of people who say they eat cereal on a regular basis state that they add extra ingredients to their bowl, including dried fruit. In the 55-64 age demographic, nearly half of all cereal eaters say they do this.
Although brands are marketing cereal as a snack and offering consumers snack-sized individual portions, 1 in 3 cereal consumers say that they prefer to purchase their products in large boxes or bulk-size packaging. Men especially prefer purchasing cereal in bulk.
87% of cereal eaters agree it can be eaten at any time of day and 76% say that a bowl of cereal makes for a great snack. According to CSP magazine, a trade publication covering the convenience store and fuel industries, cereal bar sales jumped by 2.1% in 2013 – with Rice Krispie treats leading the way with $58 million in total revenues earned.
More than half [57%] of consumers say that they wish a bowl of cereal made them feel full for a longer period of time.
Storage space for cereal is also a concern, with 1 in 3 saying that the boxes take up too much space. Another 1 in 3 say that their cereal goes stale before they can eat it, despite the industry adding flexible and resealable materials to their products to protect their freshness.
According to a report from Credit Donkey, researchers found that when the box featured a specific character, brand trust increased by 16% when the character appeared to be making direct eye contact.
According to the National Association of Wheat Growers, about 75% of all U.S. grain products, including cereal, are made from wheat. This means there is a natural niche market for the cereal industry to target with individuals who cannot eat wheat. About 1 in 130 people are believed to have Celiac disease in the US, which prevents them from eating many cereals today.
Marketing research data from IRI shows that Honey Nut Cheerios continue to be the top-selling brand, with classic Cheerios landing in fourth place after Frosted Flakes and Honey Bunches of Oats.
Despite the push for healthier cereal options, fewer than 1 in 5 cereal eaters are eating high-fiber cereals [18%], granola [14%], or weight-management cereals [13%].
From research presented by the Harvard School of Public Health, eating cereal regularly after a serious heart event could significantly improve mortality rates. Now that's something to market to health-conscious consumers.
Consumers are looking for a nice balance between sweet and healthy. This is why the top-selling cereals are seen as having certain health benefits, but also have a nice dose of sugar to add in the morning. By adding more protein to the cereals that doesn't come from "animal origins," the industry can meet the one main demand that consumers have for this product: to feel full. Consumers already see cereal as a versatile food product that can be consumed virtually any time and anywhere. They just want to feel more satisfied when they do eat it. At the moment, this means consumers are looking to hot cereals to make that happen. If cold cereals can provide this feeling as well, then the growth projections could rocket upward in the next decade for this industry.

We achieved a significant award for our client, Nigel Dicker, who was injured on his motorbike when a car pulled out of a side road and smashed into him.
He sustained devastating injuries to his left leg and back and continues to suffer from severe pain. He also suffered severe serious psychological injuries that required psychiatric treatment.
Nigel still finds the pain difficult to tolerate. He was one of the first patients ever to be fitted with an implanted spinal cord stimulator but unfortunately it only had a minimal impact on pain levels described as 'overwhelming' by our pain specialist.
The evidence we obtained from experts in a variety of medical disciplines confirmed that Nigel would never be able to work again and he would require substantial care, assistance and equipment for the rest of his life. Court proceedings were issued and the defendant admitted liability but had yet to agree quantum (how much the claim should be worth).
£549,000 was paid immediately on account. Access Legal obtained a further £40,000 for the spinal cord stimulator procedure £500,000.00 to fund further recommended surgery and to purchase and adapt a property for Nigel.
The defendant proposed a figure of £2m gross of those interim payments to settle, so we and the appointed counsel met with Nigel at his home to discuss the offer. Nigel accepted and the defendant also agreed to pay his legal costs.

Fairhill: Charito Morales Advocates For Those Affected By Opioid Crisis
October 12, 2018 Greta Anderson and Brianna Baker Fairhill, Government, Health, Housing, Social Issues 0
Activist Charito Morales said she does not affiliate with a specific community organization because it distracts from the issues at hand in the Fairhill neighborhood.
Morales is a registered nurse and has been volunteering in the Fairhill community since 1998. She spends some of her time teaching Latino youth at the Providence Center, an education programming organization on North Fifth Street.
Morales came to Philadelphia from Puerto Rico to locate her brother, who suffered from drug abuse. He had come to the mainland for treatment.
She found him in El Campamento, formerly one of the East Coast's largest open-air drug markets along East Gurney Street and the abandoned Conrail tracks, separating the Kensington and Fairhill neighborhoods. Morales said the encampment used to harbor hundreds of people suffering from drug abuse and chronic homelessness before its clean-out and shutdown in August 2017.
Now, she said, people who are experiencing homelessness and require treatment are spread across multiple encampments along the tracks. Morales has served people living in the drug encampments for decades and believes the city needs to streamline disease prevention, treatment and shelter options. She said the city did "half a job" when it revitalized El Campamento.
How do you work to aid people suffering from drug abuse?
See we have an opioid crisis in the city of Philadelphia, especially in this area. I have to get up — because I want to, not because I have to, and clean, take the needles out of the streets, [before] all these individuals who have organizations and work for the city and state level.
I go with some volunteers and pick up the needles. I buy my own containers. I travel to New York, and New York Health Department provide me Narcan, Naloxone, because the Philadelphia Health Department, if you want it you have to pay $40 for the cheapest one. Or you have to use your health insurance and get it from the pharmacy for $130, the cheapest one, because you don't get it for free. Even though you are a volunteer who works in the City of Philadelphia, and you have to deal with the situation on a daily basis. I don't need one Narcan only. Sometimes I use 15 Narcans a day because it's more than 300, 400, 500, 600 people dealing with the situation.
How has the death of your brother from an overdose influenced your work in El Campamento and in homeless encampments across the city?
It's how many people looked at my brother — dirty, hungry. I can't imagine how many times my brother asked for food, or for the phone, or he was cold. I don't know how many times he asked, "Hey, what he's saying? I don't understand [English]. Can you tell me what this guy's saying to me?" And nobody say like, "Oh, he's saying this to you."
I can't imagine how many times my brother went near a hospital and said, "Hey, can you help me? I feel sick." Or how many times he tried to apply to the welfare office. Or how many times he tried to go to a police district and say, "Hey, somebody stole my documents." Or, "I need help, these guys took my papers. I want to call my family."
I don't know. I wasn't here. I don't know how much was his struggle. But I understand the other people, like my brother, who went through the same struggle because I help them. I wasn't here to help my brother. Because when I found my brother, he died in my hands. I didn't have the opportunity to ask him all these questions, and I wasn't even here to question him. I came here to take him back home [to Puerto Rico]. To provide him love, everything that he needed. But I didn't have the chance.
Do you think the city is taking the necessary steps to combat the crisis?
I wish the state or the city would work with us. I'm a nurse, but they never sit down and talk to me about, "Hey, Charito. What have you seen down there? How many needles you encounter on a daily basis? How many bodies or, you know, have you seen overdosing? Have you been testing the heroin or the so-called Fentanyl? Or, have you seen people using more opioids? They using crack pipes or are they using the needles?"
Things like that where we can sit down and create a plan and take that plan and say, "Hey, the problem is they're using bad needles. We have to stop the problem with needle exchange." Or we have to like, "I give you one needle, you provide me one needle," and then we can keep control.
Have you been happy with the work of City Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez in the Fairhill neighborhood?
With a couple of conversations and supporting each other, Maria realized it was the moment, it was the time to step up. So, she was really speaking really clear and loud. In Harrisburg. She advocate for us in City Hall with the new administration.
I think I went to Mayor Street, Mayor Nutter. They really ignored us. And with Jim Kenney administration, Maria Quiñones-Sanchez, Joanna Otero, Damaris Feliciano and Evelyn Gutierrez, and I'm forgetting a couple of other individuals, we united the voice. Jessie Alejandro-Cruz, Asteria Vives and I, we were focusing on what we needed here as an advocate and them being in the office in the city, different positions.
Us women, yay. So, us as Latinas who live and work here. We kind of feel, "Hey, we feel this way. We've been shunned for so many years in different administrations. This is the moment, this is the time. What do you got?"
What was the impact of the revitalization of El Campamento, and why do you believe the city did a "half-job?"
A lot of organizations were there. A lot of city organizations for the first time worked together without killing each other. I said, perfect. This is awesome, communication works. Perfect. So I was the person who walked all these organizations down to the tracks.
We went down there, a lot of individuals refused to go to the detox or to a rehab facility. Some of them, like 70, said yes. They was tired. It was time for them to go. Perfect. But the first day, 40 people agreed to go. I was thrilled. I said, "Thank you, God. Yes, this is a good, good day."
You know, this never happened in so many years. Forty people. That's a good number. Out of the 40 people, 32 will be turned in next day out of the hospital. Guess what? They sent them to Episcopal Hospital. They made them wait like dogs, like animals while doing drugs. They didn't have beds available. They didn't even provide them a Tylenol.
They should've gone without waiting — express. No questions asked. Because that was in order. Because it was a situation. They didn't explain to none of these other city agencies. Out of the 40, 32 was getting suboxone or methadone. So once you've taken an order like that from a doctor, you're not allowed to go to detox because this is a second way of detoxing your body. But you didn't say that.
What is the stigma surrounding the Fairhill community because of the drug encampments?
People call it Killadelphia. People call it Trashadelphia. People call it Badlands. People call it Zombieland. People are calling Kensington Prostituteland. We have so many titles. But we have people like me, that we do community gardens. People like my co-workers and people who live in this community, that we clean. We provide food. It's everybody. It's more than that. We are cleaning. We are taking ownership of the community.
We don't like labels. Labels, you put the labels because you haven't got up out of your sofa, or out of your TV, or out of your daily living style. Don't say nothing negative. Just get up out of your way and do something for your community because maybe you don't live in this neighborhood, but you don't know, your family member [might]. Or you don't know, maybe in the future, your son, your daughter or somebody from your family is going to come and live in this community.
Do something now. We need volunteers. We need people with kindness, with a heart, with commitment, to help us take ownership and take care of this community.

Decade Of Decay
It's more than 30 years ago, 1984 to be precise, that a bunch of real teenagers in Belo Horizonte in Brazil started to make some noise that was influenced by all extreme music of the time, be it Black Metal, Thrash Metal or rude Hardcore Punk. These kids called their band SEPULTURA. The singer of this wild horde was a 14 year old guy named Wagner Lamounier, who chose the stage name "Antichrist". He stayed only one year in that later to be famous band without having recorded anything with them. After that, he teamed up with bass player Gerald Minelli, who chose "Incubus" as stage name, and some other, often changing, people to form a band of his own. The result was called SARCÓFAGO and, as we all know, never became as famous as SEPULTURA. Yet, this band made an important contribution to extreme Metal with their unpolished and ultra brutal debut album "I.N.R.I.". The 10th anniversary of the band was a good reason for the band and their label Cogumelo Records to release a compilation with some of the stuff SARCÓFAGO did until that day. Under the fitting title "Decade Of Decay", we find twenty songs that give a good look on the music of SARCÓFAGO, in a reversed order. After the exclusive intro 'The Lost Of Innocence', we have four songs from the album "Hate" from 1994. And these songs show a band that not only completely matured from their chaotic days of youth, but also tried to sound a little more modern. So the riffing was more grooving and the songwriting less pointed, while the title track even showed contemporary Hardcore influences. But it's not just these modern ingredients that make these songs hard to bear nowadays – it's the absolutely awful clinical drum machine that destroys all the good approaches. The four following songs were taken from the "The Laws Of Scourge" album, originally released in 1991 accompanied by the "Crush, Kill, Destroy" EP that featured the CD bonus tracks. Here SARCÓFAGO were pretty much focused on traditional Thrash typical for the end of the 1980s, but without too much identity. Songs like 'Screeches From The Silence' were too random to really leave an impression. Just four years after "I.N.R.I.", not much was left from this refreshing bunch of kids making noise. Only 'Crush, Kill, Destroy' showed some hints on the glorious past. Growing up does also sometimes mean becoming boring… Thankfully the second half of the album shows why SARCÓFAGO enjoy a certain cult status. Only two tracks from the album "Rotting" (1989) here, but the still rather fresh sounding rawness of these two rather long songs is a real kick in the ass compared to the later stuff we had to deal with before. 'Nightmare' is a re-recorded older song from "I.N.R.I.", a slowly crunching track with fast outbreaks. And the title track is a blasphemous slower epic, summoning Satan in its course. But be these two as good as they are – "I.N.R.I." is the real hot shit! An album that was kicking asses when it was released in 1987, yet the bigger mags didn't realize the vigor of this album. Instead SARCÓFAGO and other bands from Brazil were depicted as noisy exotics, who just copied VENOM or HELLHAMMER. How wrong were they… Sad enough, there are just two songs from "I.N.R.I." on "Decades Of Decay", the overkilling title track that early DESTRUCTION would have been proud of, and 'Desecration Of Virgin' with some of the first Goregrind vocals ever. But that's not too much a pity, since there are some real gems left. No less than seven demo recordings, who were recorded again for later albums (except for one intro piece), make this album a compilation even worthy for fans of SARCÓFAGO. And the sound of these recordings is amazingly good, carefully restored original recordings which still sound very authentic. Thus it's a real joy to listen to the original versions of classics like 'Satanic Lust', 'Christ's Death' or 'Third Slaughter', which later was released as 'The Last Slaughter' in an extended version. So, since Greyhaze Records just re-released all SARCÓFAGO albums, "Decade Of Decay" is the best opportunity for newbies to get an overview of their works.

Venezuela to import food as people turn to garbage to eat leftovers
By Nandini Krishnamoorthy
Updated June 9, 2016 07:07 BST
As the economic crisis in Venezuela worsens each day with acute shortages of basic supplies, people are turning to garbage in search of food to fight hunger. The Venezuelan government has said it has made arrangements to import essential food supplies, which will be given to the locals through the government's new food redistribution system.
According to BBC, Venezuelan Food Minister Rodolfo Marco Torres said the government had purchased 115,000 tons of basic items like rice, sugar, maize and beans. They will be handed out through a network of so-called Local Supply and Production Committees (CLAP), comprising of Socialist Party members. They will be in-charge of controlling food supplies in the country to prevent black market sales, and door to door distribution of food.

Torres said 70% of the food supplies will be distributed through this system. Opposition leaders have criticised the move saying it will discriminate against them as the new method will use food as a way to persuade citizens into supporting the government.
The oil-rich country has been witnessing protests every day over shortages of food, electricity and other essentials, with regular incidents of looting and public demonstrations. Tens of thousands of people are calling for President Nicolas Maduro to resign for what he himself had called an "economic war".
At present, Venezuelans have to buy food through the rations system, which due to shortages, forces people to stand in queues at supermarket for a couple of hours.
Under the new system in association with CLAP, food bags will be distributed door-to-door, and the families who register for the system will be handed bags with various food items likes flour, maize, pasta, rice, sugar and oil. The government has said the bags will last for 21 days.
An Opposition coalition leader, Jesus Torrealba, said the government was trying to "blackmail people through their stomach" by introducing the new plan. The CLAP's director, Freddy Bernal, said some 50% of these items would be supplied to the private sector.

Julio Noguera, who used to work in a bakery, is one of the Venezuelans affected by the food shortage. He spends his evenings searching for leftover food in the garbage to eat. "I come here looking for food because if I didn't, I'd starve to death... no one helps anyone and no one gives away meals," AP reported quoted him as saying.
"We're seeing terrible sacrifices across many sections of society," Carlos Aponte, a sociology professor at the Central University of Venezuela, said. "A few years ago, Venezuela didn't have the kind of extreme poverty that would drive people to eat garbage."
A study by three top Caracas universities has found that 76% of the country's nationals are living in poverty, as compared to 52% in 2014.

He began to find beauty in the everyday vignettes that made up his life at home and on the road: finding inspiration in a bike ride, a Moog synthesizer, an untuned guitar, a Nick Drake record.

The CNC is the main communication interface between the operator and the machine. It tells the other components – and possibly even the operator – what to do.
Using the arc voltage, the torch height control (THC) ensures that the cutting tool doesn't get too close to or too far away from the work piece.
Although not absolutely necessary, a THC is a very worthwhile investment. On a system equipped with a properly functioning height control, you can program and nest hundreds of parts and let the automated system complete the job.

Yeelight LED Lamp Pro HomeKit Blog Review
Cupertino, February 21, 2020
Yeelight is one of the two companies in the Xiaomi home's smart ecosystem that also provides HomeKit compatible devices with Aqara being the flagship. Although Aqara typically focuses on Zigbee switches and sensors, Yeelight focuses more on lighting (hence the name), using wifi or Bluetooth networking. Parent companies of both entities* also make HomeKit products compliant to Xiaomi in line with the (yes, complicated) mi or miji label.
* Qingdao Yeelink Technology Technology Company Ltd. and Lumi United Technology Company Ltd
Whist Yeelight modified the firmware very kindly last year for four legacy products (three Yeelight brand and one Mi brand), it seems that many of their lighting items are still coming in for the most part. Compatibility with HomeKit in box. Staria Yeelight (also named & #39; Star & #39;) Desk lamp, which comes in regular and "Pro" models, is one of the latest products to meet these criteria. We're looking into the Pro version today.
PACKING | unboxing
The front of the container
Part of the container with features
I mentioned this a lot, but many of these companies have embraced the aesthetics of Apple design in a big way, which is not bad, and in this case, this would not seem out of place on any Apple store shelf at all. The whole box is white, with the lamp in the front, accompanied by the "Works with Apple HomeKit" badge and the product name in a mixture of Chinese and English. When this product first appeared in China about four months ago, it was labeled Desk lamp with star or Star Desk Lamp Pro depending on the model purchased. However, now that it seems to be available to Western consumers locally, the name has changed to Staria desk lamp / Staria Pro desk lamp.
Just to get the difference between standard and professional models, it all comes down to the wireless charging board, with the Pro version including the charging board, while the standard version excludes this.
Back to the packaging and, apart from the back specs, the side of the box has icons to show some of the features of the product itself, though in Chinese;
Delay the light off
Detecting foreign objects
10W fast charging *
Intelligent link control
We will analyze some of these functions in a bit, but first here are some basic specifications, according to the information in the box;
Model Number: YLCT03YL
Rated Input: 20W (Website 22W)
Operating temperature: -10ºC ~ 40ºC / 14ºF ~ 104ºF (website -10ºC ~ 35ºC / 14ºF ~ 95ºF)
Color temperature: 2700 ~ 6500K
Max. Wireless charging output: 10W
Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b / g / n 2.4GHz
Wireless charging distance <3.5mm
* Fast charging only applies to certain phones, but not currently iPhone
Top of container with packing instructions
Interior protective packaging
The lamp is equipped with some pretty smart internal packaging, which even gives instructions on how to unpack it properly (I don't make you anymore). This internal protection does an excellent job of keeping the lamp and the power supply all in place, so there is no chance of this lamp being screwed inside the box.
Office lamp Pro
The shade of the lamp at an angle
The lamp itself is visually quite utilitarian, being largely white, except for the charging plate, which is gray. The only moving parts of the lamp are multifunctionality the power button, which is not very easy to see due to the fact that it is filled with the base and the shade itself. The shadow can be set to the horizontal position you see in the first image above or at any angle upwards 0º - 30º, as seen in the second image.
Most parts of the lamp have a matte plastic finish, quite familiar, which is slightly soft to the touch. The main stem of the lamp is metallic in a matte white painted finish.
The main light source the bottom of the lamp
Secondary light source at the top of the lamp
The lamp itself has two distinct lighting sections, the main light source being the down light. The second light source is the top of the lamp, which has a light ring. It would seem that these two separate sections actually share the same source, which, according to the packaging specifications, is a series of 25 individual 0.5W LEDs.
Cold white
Higher power of light set to bright + warm white
Higher light power set to low brightness + warm white
The lamp is able to grow cold white, and since both sections seem to share the same LEDs, regardless of whether you have the lamp set for heating, cooling or any color temperature between the two, the upper and lower light sections will be the same. Of course, this also applies if the light is on or off, as well as the brightness levels, although, because the top of the lamp has a smaller area for the light to be emitted, it will appear lower in brightness. One thing to note is that, while this looks like a lamp, unlike the real thing, the light cannot be seen through the "shadow" itself, so the light emits only from the bottom and top of this shadows. However, as a bedside lamp (for which I use mine) or a small desk lamp, it has sufficient brightness for the two scenarios, which can also be manually adjusted due to the lamp shade. The entire height of the lamp from the top of the shade to the bottom of the base (when the shade is set at an angle of 0º) is 292.5mm / 11.52in, with the wider (lower) part of the shadow section having a diameter of 179.5mm / 7.07in. Abajur is 93mm / 3.66in in height and the upper part of the shadow is 104mm / 4.09in in diameter.
Lamp base with charging support
Multifunction button
Qi charging pad
Bottom of the lamp with the code HomeKit
This is a lamp first and foremost, but with the addition of a Qi charging plate, it has additional utility. We'll get to that in a bit, but for the base of the lamp itself, the measurements come to 164.3mm / 6.46in in diameter, with the depth of the base being 16.4mm / 0.65in.
The multifunction button (which I will explain in a bit) matches the color of the lamp and is also full with the lamp base, but while it looks aesthetically pleasing, in practice it is difficult to find the button, especially in low light situations. On several occasions, I found myself moving my finger on the surface of the lamp base to find the button and, because it is full of the base, it is not easy to feel it even to see it. I can see why either a raised or indented button might not be the best approach, so perhaps a slightly larger button would have been the answer, or rather, a tiny LED inside the button. The lamp base has one of two HomeKit codes, the other being in the manual.
Barrel connector for power supply
Power supply with the Yeelight logo
Barrel plug
For power supply, the lamp uses a 12V / 1.5A source with an A type, unpolarized socket and a barrel connection at the end of the power cord. Although not specific on either the packaging or the company's website, the lamp operates in mainland China, where I use 220-240V and works here in Taiwan, where we use 110-120V, which is, of course, the same for places like the US, Mexico. and Japan, which can also host this type of plug.
Lamp base, including Qi charging plate
The built-in Qi charging kit is a handy feature, especially assuming you have it on a desk or bedside table, where you'll most likely have your phone and want it charged while you work or fall asleep. The gasket itself is made of rubber and is lightly tactile so that the phone does not slip unnecessarily. The charging pack works with all iPhones that are capable of wireless charging so they include; iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone X/XR/XS/XS Max, and iPhone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max. When you place a Qi compatible phone on the board, a small LED at the base of the lamp will light to indicate charging is taking place. The table also has a feature that when you place a device that is not compatible with the wireless charger, the same LED will start flashing quickly. After removing the incompatible device, the LED will not blink after a few seconds. Although I get the chance to power my cordless phone in my short tests *, the actual amount of power the iPhone has attracted to me has been lower than I expected, reaching about 4.5 - 5.0W. This is with the lamp off. If the lamp is lit at maximum brightness (blue color temperature) while charging, then readings indicate 10w of power being drawn. For the record, the iPhone used was an iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the battery was 66%. This doesn't sound very powerful, since you can get Qi chargers that can go up to 7.5w, but some of these "branded" chargers are generally as expensive as the lamp itself, so it's hard to complain when you get a "standard" lamp and charger all run in one package, at the same price as a standalone charger. It has also been reported that for iOS13.1, Apple has limited the wireless charging speed of their phones to 5w with third party chargers, unless they are fully compliant, so this may explain the relatively low efficiency. Indeed, there is nothing to stop you from buying a separate charger if you want some extra juice and just stick to the standard version of the Star Desk lamp. So far, the charger has worked well for me because I tend to put my iPhone on it when I'm ready to go to sleep, and when I wake up 7-8 hours later, the phone is always fully charged, even then when the iPhone starts below 10%.
We did not receive the AirPods, nor the Airpods Pro, but Eric, one of our collaborators, tried to load the AirPods case with this charger, but failed. I'm not sure why this is, although the above image on Yeelight's own site indicates that it is possible whether the case is actually for AirPods or for AirPods Pro.
* Tested using both an Aqara Smart socket and a Vocolinc PM2 electric tape,
using the energy monitoring functions of the respective applications.
With Xiaomi smart home ecosystem products, there are several different ways in which their devices can be added, which sometimes depends on the manufacturer, but if the product comes with a HomeKit code as this product does, then you can generally just add it to the Home and go from there. It is advisable to get the relevant application for firmware updates or additional features, and, since I am firmly assured in the Mi Home application, which will work with Yeelight products, I first proceeded to add it to Mi Home and from there I tried. to add it to the HomeKit inside Mi Home. Strangely, it didn't work that way, without the option to add to HomeKit being offered or visible. Since then it could have changed, because I had this lamp for four months now, but at that time I simply could not do it, at least through the Mi Home application, which was the norm. Fortunately, any Yeelight light (or, indeed, Yeelight's Mi lamps) added to Mi Home will also appear in the Yeelight application, as long as you use the same login certificates you use for the Mi Home application. . This was the case for me and I could easily add the lamp to HomeKit this way, as shown in the video overall. I will not go into this process in depth, but in essence it is;
Open the Yeelight app and log in if you are logged out
Select Star Desk Lamp Pro from the list of devices in the "Devices" tab
Select the "settings" icon in the upper left corner
Select "Add to home"
Then simply follow the on-screen instructions, which involve all these steps you would see when adding a HomeKit device directly to the Home app.
IN THE YEAR | MY HOME | HOME APLE
List of devices in the Yeelight application
Presets the light settings
Additional options in the Yeelight app
The "Moon" screen
Color temperature adjustment screen
Yeelight is quite simplistic, but it still has many options you may want to access, along with some options that you won't find in the Apple Home app, including animated lighting that has the effect Candle flicker. risen, and Flash notification. There is another setting in the Yeelight app that you will find in the Mi Home app, called "Moon" which I'll get to in a bit. Other options available in the Yeelight app include timers. hourly. the default state, and Labor Control. All in all, the Yeelight app is actually quite easy to use.
The main screen of the Mi Home application
Control panel for brightness and color temperature
Preferred and preset options
the Mi Home app has almost the same types of options, presented only in a different way. What the Mi Home app gives you is the ability to control this HomeKit compatible lamp with non-HomeKit devices, such as Aqara Cube, etc.
Star Lamp in the Apple Home app
Slider for controlling the brightness and color temperature
Star Lamp settings page
The Home app has all the basic elements that the other two applications have, minus the lighting effects or the "Moon" option. It has the ability to include your Star Lamp in scenes and automations that involve other HomeKit devices, so from this point of view, from HomeKit's point of view, it is probably the most important.
Coming back to "Month mode" that you can access it for both Yeelight and Mi Home applications, it operates at a very low level night light, so in normal mode (called Sun mode in both applications) you can decrease to 1%, brightness, although it is quite bright low in brightness, still not low enough to be called night light. This is where the Moon mode comes in handy. I'm not sure how it works, but probably access only a small selection of LEDs to create an even lower level of brightness.
100% brightness in Mood mode
50% brightness in Mood mode
So, you can see from the pictures above that brightness levels can go considerably lower than what you can get in the normal "Sun" mode.
Month mode at 1%
Sun mode at 1%
The sharp contrast can be seen here when you set the Sun and Moon modes side by side, set to 1%. Also, it is worth noting that in Moon mode, there are still visible differences in each brightness level between 10-1%. It is unfortunate that you cannot access this mode from the Home app or apparently other third-party HomeKit applications. The only alternative is to create a shortcut to trigger this mode, which can be done in any application, because both work with Siri shortcuts.
USE FROM DAY TO DAY
In general, the lamp does a great job and I found that it has a lamp that can be adjusted in many ways, quite useful. Since I tend to use it only in the evening, cold lighting does not show much, but it is fine. The loading part, although not strong enough, is fine for my needs now, so I have no complaints. The only disadvantage, and not a dealbreaker, is the button that controls it. Yes, I can control it by an automation or a trigger of some kind, but when it comes to manually controlling it, if you don't want to just turn it on or off, it takes a little getting used to.
To turn the lamp on or off, simply press the button, as expected. each time you turn it on, it will be set to the last brightness and temperature of the color it was at the last stop. So far, so good. If you want to adjust the color temperature, then you have to press and hold the button. Depending on the state you are in before you take this action, you will do one of three things;
If the lamp is at the lowest setting (in Sun mode), long pressing will gradually increase the brightness of the lamp, before switching to cold white, it will be set to 100% brightness.
If the lamp is at the highest setting (in Sun mode), long pressing will first switch to warm white at 100% brightness, then gradually reduce the brightness to the lowest level, set to warm white.
If the lamp is set to Moon mode, regardless of the brightness level, long press of the button will automatically switch to Sun mode, then switch to light according to the first bullet point here.
This is where the button control has the first malfunction, as the lamp can only reduce the brightness set to warm white, not cold white. You can access any of the applications and set the lamp to a cool white and 50%, for example, but with the button, you can start to dim the light only after it has been set to warm white.
Double pressing the button will allow the lamp to enter a delayed state. The light will then go out after a fixed time interval of 10 minutes. There is a separate timer in the Yeelight app, but then you most likely would configure something in the Home app for a function like this.
For me, turning on or off the light is all I need, because the rest of these types of functions tend to be automated to some extent, so that's fine. In the end, there are only so many things you can do with a single button before things get too complicated, so I guess they've reached the right balance for the switch. It would be great if you could program the dual press function so that it could be designed to make a custom scene.
SUMMARIZING
The bottom line is that I'm a fan of some of the Yeelight products and this is no different. Their industrial designers seem, to a large extent, to know what works and how to make things look modern and conservative at the same time. This one, I think it does the same. It looks like a traditional lamp and largely does the same job, but with an underrated flair. The fact that the Pro version has the advantage of the built-in wireless charger also also points the lamp further towards excellent functionality if it is something you need. As for reliability, it was fine, which was not easy to monitor because of the last few iterations of the Home application being quite unstable (I'm on 13.3.1 now and everything is fine ...), so I didn't may blame Yeelight for that, but it hasn't failed so far. Problems have been reported with one or two of their products, in particular Yeelight Light Strip Plus (read our review HERE), which seemed to have developed problems after getting HomeKit support, although I personally haven't seen such issues regularly and even then I suspect that previous iterations of iOS13 are largely at fault here.

The performance bike segment in India has become very mature as compared to a few years back. Now there are many entry-level performance motorcycles that one can look for in India. Here are ten such sporty bikes, all priced under Rs. 2 lakhs.
The smallest and the most affordable KTM in India is one pocket rocket. The trendy design of the 200 Duke sets it apart from the other offerings in the segment. The KTM 200 Duke is powered by 200cc liquid-cooled engine that produces a maximum of 24 Bhp – 19.2 Nm.
The lightweight naked bike is quite popular among the youngsters because of its price tag and the performance it offers. It gets dual disc brakes as standard and there is no ABS. It is only available in a single variant.
The 250 Duke is an all-new product introduced by KTM this year. The motorcycle gets identical looks as the KTM 390 Duke but with a shorter equipment list and a smaller engine. The 250 Duke gets angled headlamps and sharp overall styling.
The bike is powered by 250cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces a maximum power of 29 Bhp and peak torque of 24 Nm. The bike also gets slipper clutch, which is unique in the segment.
Fully faired motorcycles have a charm of their own and this is the most affordable fully faired bike from KTM that you can buy in India. The bike is a fully faired version of the KTM 200 Duke and looks smashing.
It has an aggressive seating posture suited for track riding. The bike is powered by the same 199.5cc engine that powers the 200 Duke. It produces a maximum of 24 Bhp and 19.5 Nm torque.
Yamaha finally entered the 250cc segment in India with the launch of FZ25. The contoured and muscular design of the bike makes it a head turner on the road. The FZ25 also gets full-LED headlamps.
The bike is powered by 249cc, air-cooled plus oil-cooled engine that generates a maximum of 20.4 Bhp – 20.4 Nm torque. The bike weighs only 148 kg, which makes it a fun-to-ride motorcycle. It gets disc brakes on both the wheels but there is no ABS.
The Dominar is the flagship motorcycle of the Indian brand which was launched earlier this year. The Dominar is a sports tourer is the most expensive motorcycle of Bajaj in India. The bike is powered by the 373.2 cc liquid-cooled engine, which is a re-engineered version of the 390 Duke's engine.
It generates a maximum of 34 Bhp and 35 Nm. The six-speed transmission of the Dominar keeps the engine relaxed on high-speeds and can push to a top speed of 148 km/h. The bike gets optional ABS, split instrument cluster, and full LED headlamps.
Launched as a performance motorcycle, the R15 showed the Indian market how performance can be squeezed out of small capacity engines. The 150cc engine performed so well that even a few higher capacity motorcycles remained in the rearview mirrors of R15. The bike is powered by 150cc, liquid-cooled engine that produces 16.8 Bhp – 15 Nm.
It was also the first ever full-faired motorcycle in India and kickstarted the trend of performance-oriented full-faired motorcycles. The R15 has also become a popular track tool for the amateurs. The bike gets front and rear disc brakes and the similarity to the R1 makes it quite popular among the enthusiasts.
Mahindra launched the Mojo after a long delay and the finished product intrigued many. The Mojo came with a unique style and is known for its long-distance capabilities. The bike is powered by a 295cc engine that churns out a peak of 26.4 Bhp and 30 Nm and is mated with a six-speed super smooth transmission. The dual exhausts and the Pirelli sourced tyres makes it one of the first choices among the youths.
TVS Apache was developed on the track and the naked bike is known for its performance. The affordable yet high-performance bike is powered by a 177cc engine that develops 17.3 Bhp – 15.5 Nm. The bike gets optional ABS on both the wheels with disc brakes.
TVS launched a new version of the Apache RTR 200 earlier this year equipped with fuel injection. The RTR 200 is a high-performance bike which is powered by a 200cc single-cylinder, air plus oil-cooled engine. It generates a maximum of 21 Bhp and 20.7 Bhp. It gets disc brakes with single-channel ABS as an optional equipment.
The RS 200 is the only fully-faired motorcycle from Bajaj. The layered fairing of the RS 200 gives it a unique look. The RS 200 also gets dual projector headlamps. The RS 200 is basically a fully faired version of the 200 NS. It gets the same single-channel ABS that works on the front wheel but not the rear. The bike is powered by a 199.5cc engine that produces 24.2 Bhp – 18.6 Nm.

When I ordered it they had a bunch of different sizes I could choose from.
I am not at home at the moment but if you drop me an email at jonpfl01 at gmail I can get you any info you need.
My table is roughly 7 feet by 3.5 feet and it just fits with a few inches to spare so I am guessing it is 6.5 feet by 3 feet.
Before they printed for me they sent me a pic to look at so I could check to make sure they didn't mess up with scaling.
Either anniversary or Global was smaller than their size mat by a few inches so they just put a black border.
The map is AWESOME. Drop me an email and I can take pics later.
The only possible exception I can think of is if Moscow had already fallen and the U.S. or U.K. had liberated Timguska so it wasn't Russian.
Yes, Moscow has fallen BUT that was still Russian territory.
So, should Mongolia have Russian troops now or should they still be neutral?
Should this move trigger the Mongolians in ALL situations (except Russia has not attacked Korean or Manchuria)?
Looks nice, I have a few questions. How is it holding up? Are the edges stitched? What did it cost? And did the smell go away?
It is holding up great, just played a 5 player 1940 Global this past Sat and it is still set up for when we continue in a few weeks.
The edges are not stitched but it was an option. I thought about doing it but decided against it.
My anniversary neoprene map had a strong smell so I put it outside a few days and it mostly went away. My global never had smell but I suspect it was older neoprene as it is 2mm and my anniversary is 3mm.
If USA attacks Korea from Amur, does that give Japan the ability to attack from Manchuria to Amur without Mongolia turning Russian? Russia is at war with Japan but has not attacked Manchuria or Korea.
If it matters, there are American troops in both Amur and Korea.
Yes, what is the purpose of them?
I bought s custom deck of card for global and was wondering why they have a 1, 2 and 3 card included.
I found a company in Hong Kong that does custom neoprene maps. You just upload a hi res image file and within 2 weeks, you have an awesome map.
Check out the Anniversary map I just got. The only problem is that it has a strong smell but you just put it outside to air out.
OOB map is on top and you can see the Anniversary underneath it (for reference).
I do not have anything to do with this company, just wanted to let people know a great way to get a neoprene map!!
Thanks for all the suggestions!! I just ordered 50 red monopoly houses for $9.99 on Amazon.

You may choose from either a guided tour of our database starting at the soldier level or at the regiment level, or a sample of our database's personnel offerings.
The tour screens are taken from the member access areas of this website. They represent the types of data and queries available. At the top of each screen there is a tour subject box in which you will find information about that particular tour screen as well as navigation buttons to move to the next subject. In some cases you may be asked to click on a link in the demonstration page itself.
You may start this tour at the regiment level or the soldier level. The regiment tour lets you follow a regiment through the conflict, watching the casualties suffered, the battles fought, the organizational structure, etc. The soldier tour examines the experience of an individual soldier -- how he enlisted, what promotions were awarded, any wounds he received, as well as personal information.
The Personnel and Officer Directories give you a glimpse of the personnel records in the database. The directories allow you to determine whether a particular soldier's information has been entered into the database yet. (The Officer Directory contains personnel who achieved a rank of Brigadier General or higher; all other personnel may be found in the Personnel Directory.)


DUBAI – The World Food Programme (WFP) today airlifted life-saving, nutrient-dense biscuits from its UN Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Dubai to Papua New Guinea. With a cargo of more than 80 metric tons of the nutritious high energy biscuits, the plane carried enough food to feed approximately 60,000 earthquake-affected people.
More than 270,000 people continue to require humanitarian assistance following the devastating 7.5 magnitude earthquake which struck the country in February, and this airlift is part of WFP's emergency response in the country. The earthquake was followed by a series of severe aftershocks throughout March, causing widespread panic among communities.
The plane departed from Dubai early Monday morning and the biscuits will reach people within days. The plane used for the airlift was provided by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
"We are grateful for Sheikh Mohammed's generosity in rapidly providing this plane. His support is crucial to deliver humanitarian assistance to those most affected by this natural disaster," said Stefano Peveri, Head of UNHRD in Dubai.
"More than 60 percent of UNHRD transports originate from Dubai. This makes Dubai WFP's largest humanitarian hub in the world, thanks to the excellent logistical facilities and ongoing Government support," he added.
Papua New Guinea already faced severe food insecurity and alarming malnutrition levels before the earthquake. Approximately 37 percent of the population, or 60,000 people, were severely food insecure before the earthquake, according to WFP's remote assessments using mobile technology. The earthquake and its aftershocks have further impacted people in the most vulnerable areas of the country, destroying root crops and vegetable gardens; the primary food sources in the affected area.
The airlift is facilitated by the International Humanitarian City (IHC), chaired by Her Royal Highness Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, which hosts WFP's warehousing facilities in Dubai. The Princess is a long-term supporter of WFP and currently serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

GAMA accelerates dialogue with European regulators on eVTOL
November 27, 2018 General Aviation, News 0
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has accelerated a dialogue with European regulators on the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and technologies.
Thirty senior eVTOL company figures from eight countries have now met with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), the European Commission and SESAR JU (Single European Sky ATM Research Joint Undertaking) over two days in Cologne and Brussels to discuss this burgeoning sector of the aviation industry.
The industry and government leaders were also joined by Dorothee Bär, the German Federal State Minister for Digitisation, who is one of the most prominent proponents of urban air mobility in Europe.
"It is great that the industry is getting together proactively to liaise with EASA on common standards," Bär said. "I think there is tremendous potential for Europe and beyond, once urban air mobility will become part of our daily life."
This dialogue forms a key part of the association's efforts towards increasing automation, autonomy and de-carbonisation in aviation. GAMA is focused on prioritising the safe introduction of these new systems and technologies whilst making flying more accessible to the general public.
The group addressed the numerous opportunities and challenges posed by these new aircraft and business models, including urban air mobility – commonly referred to as 'air taxis.' These new vehicles offer extremely quiet, green operations for a wide array of uses. Discussions focused on the regulatory framework needed for the safe and sustainable integration of these vehicles into Europe's airspace. Topics raised include certification, maintenance, operations, licensing, and the development of U-Space (UTM).
"Global manufacturers have been working within GAMA over the last 12 months to prepare the ecosystem for eVTOL. We are really pleased that EASA is developing a path forward for this new era of aviation," said Anna Dietrich, GAMA eVTOL subcommittee co-chair and Terrafugia co-founder and regulatory affairs. "Leveraging the body of existing rules and standards wherever possible while appropriately addressing the new aspects of this industry will help us efficiently achieve our shared goals for safe, innovative vehicles that provide significant value to society"
"We are very encouraged that Europe is moving ahead without delay and with a focus on performance-based rules," said Tassilo Wanner, GAMA eVTOL subcommittee co-chair and Lilium vice president. "Our work this week has been to ensure we are also moving in the right direction for this global industry."

Q: how to install wireless driver for my old laptop hp dv6 1340ej its connected to the internet and all fine but its very and slow and I've tried almost everything with some terminal commands and I got some improve but still slow compared to the internet win I login in windows 7 where I have the wireless driver installed I think I need to know my wireless hardware driver for my specific laptop and find the driver for it but can't find it anyone can help ?
here is my device details:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 [8086:0084]
command : lspci -nn | grep 0280

A: When you pinged Google directly, going through the DNS nameserver provided by your internet service provider, you got an average round trip time of 574 ms. When you pinged by number, thereby bypassing the DNS nameserver provided by your internet service provider, the average was 73 ms. That's not a great time, but obviously a huge improvement over 574 ms. I suggest you right-click the Network Manager icon and edit connections, select IPv4 wireless and change the method from Automatic (DHCP) to Automatic (DHCP) addresses only. Fill in the DNS nameservers as here: http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/12/ubuntu_dns.jpg
Save and close. Now is it improved?

A: The driver for your device is quite well known to have problems with N speeds from the router. As a temporary experiment, let's disable it and see if the speeds improve. Please open a terminal and do:
sudo su
echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
exit

Reboot. Is there any improvement?

'The art of spiritual accompaniment'
Cori Urban
Deacon Brandon Schneider has heard a lot about listening.
The transitional deacon, preparing for ordination to the priesthood later this year, is facilitating a program called Ananias Training at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Middlebury. It helps participants recognize the stages of another's spiritual journey through compassionate listening.
Listening, he said, includes being supportive but not judgmental, recognizing the speaker's individual dignity and worth, taking him or her seriously, not using labels and focusing on the person who is speaking.
In an age where the written word — through email, text and social media — can seem to rule, the spoken word has a special place because it is through personal conversation that "you're interacting with the whole person, making a face-to-face connection," Deacon Schneider said.
Inspired by the role Ananias played in St. Paul's journey to Christ, the Ananias Training helps participants listen lovingly to someone's real questions and opinions about God in order to guide the discovery of how God is present and active in a person's life, talk about their relationship with God, share how they came to be a disciple of Jesus and share Jesus' own story in response to the spiritual hunger of another.
There are nine participants in the Ananias Training; selected active parishioners of the Middlebury church and St. Bernadette Church in Bridport were invited to participate in the fall/spring program.
They discuss the three journeys "everyone is on," Deacon Schneider said: personal relationship with Jesus, sacramental and practice. "Everyone is on a different place in all of them."
Jonathan Connor, a parishioner of St. Bernadette Church, has seen many people slowly leave the Church. "I joined the [Ananias] program because I was hoping it would give me some guidelines on how to be better at evangelizing to those who no longer feel the need to attend church," he said. "So far the program has been helpful in teaching us to be better at listening to the person we are talking to and asking the right questions that may help them think about their own spiritual journey. The program has also made us look into our own spiritual journey and show us how God has worked in our lives."
He hopes to be an instrument God uses in helping them progress along that spiritual journey and find the joy and the peace that comes from being a part of His Church.
The training is a 17-hour process structured in five sessions, designed to form parishioners with no previous training in "the art of spiritual accompaniment." The training uses scripture reflections, video and facilitated discussions; its goal is to form people equipped to be Ananias to one another within the Church as well as to those in the world, within the context of one's own charisms and personal vocation.
"This training is important because it focuses on listening — listening to the spiritual journey of the anther person," said Father Luke Austin, pastor. "It is important to parish life because it prepares us to evangelize, important to the Church because the upcoming synod looks at how we listen within the Church and important to society in general as the training helps participants not take labels people use for themselves at face value."
The training is a fruit of the Diocesan Synod and is funded through the generosity of the St. Bernadette Christ Our Hope donors.

Returning, on my walk this week, from the heights of Llansteffan Castle's battlements to the beach below led me through the woods and away from my companions on this visit to Carmarthenshire in South Wales. I was able to look down on them just as they reached the beach.
Before we left the castle itself, I stood in the entrance to the castle and although I didn't have my field recorder with me, still managed to capture something of the aural atmosphere of this calm day.

Harvey Weinstein Pleads Not Guilty To New Charges in Sexual Assault Trial
On Monday, a New York City grand jury returned an indictment that included two new charges against former film producer Harvey Weinstein, who pled not guilty, pushing the trial date from early this September to January of 2020.
The charges came after new evidence was presented to the grand jury, allowing testimony from actress Annabella Sciorra, who alleged that Weinstein assaulted her in 1992. Weinstein has maintained that all of the reported incidents were consensual, despite over 80 women coming forward to accuse the producer of sexual harassment, assault, and misconduct.
Sciorra alleges that Weinstein raped her after he offered to drive her home during the filming of a movie produced by his company Miramax. After entering her apartment without incident, Weinstein later knocked on her door, pushed his way in, and began to take off his shirt.
"This is not happening," Sciorra told him. "You've got to go. You have to leave. Get out of my apartment."
Weinstein currently faces five felony charges including two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree, one count of first-degree rape, and one count of third-degree rape. If convicted, Weinstein faces the possibility of life imprisonment.

#MeToo Harvey Weinstein


Located in Ten Sleep, Wyoming, the Red Reflet is both a working cattle ranch and luxurious resort located on over 27,000 acres in the Wyoming Big Horn Mountains. The landscapes vary from red rimrock to rolling foot hills to aspen forests, limestone canyons, and mountain meadows.
Men's Journal Approved and kid requested, you'll experience a working cattle ranch with outstanding 5-star amenities, superb food and experienced staff.
This is a western experience which will far exceed all your expectations.
The Red Reflet Ranch is an all-inclusive, year-round ranch/resort. Each season has its own special attractions and activities with the highest level of ranch activity taking place during spring and fall months. Appreciate the opportunity to customize your dream adventure. You control how much you get to experience.
Children are more than welcome at Red Reflet Ranch and their needs and desires can be met by kid-friendly staff that will ensure they have the BEST time! At the Ranch we recognize that children are guests along with their families and so they deserve a say in what is planned for them. Whether it is hiking to search for fossils such as belemnites or to find seashells on the seafloor the path is theirs to discover.
Riding horses on trails is usually for those over 8 but children under that age have an indoor and outdoor arena in which to learn or ride. Barrel racing with a champion might be an option or working with cattle, it all depends on the day and riding ability.
The Zip Line is available for children with a 60lb minimum weight.
How about helping the Chef in the Ranch kitchen or at the Outdoor BBQ? There are countless trails on which to ride an ATV (again age permitting) or maybe sports such as Volleyball or Basketball or Swimming or Rock wall climbing?
Ranch chickens are gentle and kids can feed them and gather eggs for the family' breakfast!
The area is full of history and is recognized as being the site of many historic battlegrounds between Indian tribes and the white man. Among those sites are the Bates Battle site, an engagement in which the Arapahoe were defeated by a coalition composed of US troops and the Shoshone. At the Dull Knife site, Dull Knife and Wild hog were defeated leaving the Big Horn Mountains under the control of the white man. Located a few miles south of Ten Sleep is the famous site of the Spring Creek Raid (on the Red Reflet Ranch). Here, cattle ranchers and sheep herders fought a bloody battle over grazing rights. The event eventually led to the end of the bitter rivalry between cattlemen and sheep ranchers.
Mealtime is always memorable at the Red Reflet Ranch. Almost everything on the table has been grown or raised on the Ranch, then prepared by our resident executive Chef. Produce comes from our greenhouse, garden and orchard. Our beef is ranch raised, processed in our butcher shop and aged to be savory and tender. We also use organic free-range chickens and eggs. The surrounding area has abundant elk, deer, antelope, pheasant, grouse, and rabbit and meals often include wild game.
One of our traditions is to enjoy the evening meal together. Red Reflet guests are invited to dine with the owners and other guests in the Lodge. However, there are several other options available such as: dinner at the Mountain Cabin, wagon-ride dinner combinations on the upper Ranch, rodeo and barbeque dinners, and even private dinners in the chalet.
We have an extensive wine cellar, many beers, cold drinks and a well-stocked bar. There are no extra charges for this hospitality.
Located 5 miles from the Lodge on Ranch property, exists a 5,000' runway and hanger for guests of Red Reflet Ranch who wish to fly directly to the ranch. The Ranch can provide flights from your home base, Denver, Billings, Salt Lake City, Casper, sheridan or Riverton. Guests may use the private airport but must obtain prior permission by the ranch and complete a release form in order to access the runway with a private or Charter aircraft.
Guests decide how much they ride during their stay. Unlimited riding is included in the rates.
Red Reflet Ranch can cater for up to 32 guests. See below for details and indicative rates.
Ideal for large families or groups. The exterior features a large yard, a pond, and a tree house in the back yard. The Ranch House is located near the greenhouse, garden and chicken coop.

There is a large living area on the main floor complete with sofa, card table, two bedrooms each with twin beds and adjoining bathrooms, and an 8-person enclosed hot tub on the large, outside deck.
The Ponds Chalet is located at the entrance of our private red rim canyon. The nearby ponds reflect the dramatic red rock and provide sounds of a running stream. Views are dramatic any time of the day or night. There is a large, six-person hot tub on the deck, as well as patio furniture for enjoying meals outside.
Enjoy wonderful sunrises and sunsets, ever-changing canyon vistas, and views of the Big Horn, Jim Bridger, Owl Creek, and Absoroka Mountain Ranges. The great room of the Panorama has floor-to-ceiling window walls, a complete stainless steel kitchen and a large dining area. The large deck has a private hot tub, patio furniture, and a dining set for taking in the scenery.
The Couples Chalet is designed around a Great Room with large windows to admire the red rock canyon and surrounding landscape. Enjoy the views from the large deck or a dip in your private hot tub under a sky ablaze with stars.

More than 300 elk live on and pass through the Ranch all year long. The few black bears that are nearby are very shy and seldom seen. Many mule deer and antelope live in our alfalfa fields. Red Reflet Ranch is also home to lots of small critters - foxes, marmots, prairie dogs, coyotes, raccoons and even an occasional skunk. Many raptors also frequent the area.

We can cater for groups of 100 & over. From the main deck overlooking the sunset colored canyon to the Mountain Cabin with views of the entire ranch, your wedding can be as luxurious, unique, and fun as you want it to be.
By special arrangement we can take families to view a dinosaur dig where bones have been found from times dating back 150 million years. More than 11 complete dinosaur remains have been unearthed since 2006 at the Dana Quarry, part of the Morrison Formation near Ten Sleep Wyoming - a veritable treasure trove of virtually intact skeletons. These numbers suggest that this area may have been a watering hole which dried up during a period of drought providing scientists with a rare opportunity to study these ancient creatures. The Dana Quarry is excavated by Dinosauria International LLC and Red Reflet Ranch is pleased to enjoy the privilege of our guests being able to visit. Times for visiting are limited due to the extreme heat in the summer months.
The exhibits at the Museum offer visitors an opportunity to understand how early settlers came to Wyoming and created lives for themselves with little knowledge of what to expect. There is a major historical photograph collection together with exhibits specifically made for children to 'touch' and enjoy. There are ever changing art exhibits and learning programs for a complete grasp of the geology, paleontology and archeology of the region.
An 8,500-acre sanctuary for protected wildlife. Their literature and self-guided tours provide a unique experience for guests who wish to better appreciate the wildlife and flowers in our neighborhood.There is an abundance of wild flowers and animals in the many canyons of the Preserve. Reservations are needed for an escorted tour.
We've done the hard work and carefully vetted all our ranches to ensure quality for you. Meaning you'll know what to expect before you arrive at Red Reflet Ranch.
Exquisite dining, abundant trails and horses, an indoor ring, and all terrain vehicles for all guests are among the ranch's best attributes. This is our second extended family trip to Red Reflect, and it's hard to imagine another ranch that offers the same personal attention and plentiful resources. Create your own daily agenda, from guided trail rides in ATVs or on horseback, shooting lessons, hikes, mountain bikes, kayaking or swimming in the pond. There's also a pool, a movie theater, a zip line and an exercise room on site. Four individual goest houses provide ample space and some individuality. The chef is excellent, and fresh daily food is delivered to your home. It's a sumptuous but truly Western experience for the entire family.


Everything Our Lord does, He does for us. He takes up our flesh, is born of a woman, to fulfill the Law for us. He is circumcised, his mother purified, has sacrifices offered on His behalf, denies Himself certain foods, and eats the Passover to end all those things. The Law is fulfilled in Him. His circumcision, His perfect obedience, His ritual purity counts for those who are joined to Him in Holy Baptism. The same is true of the Moral Law. He kept it for us. His fasting and temptation were done in our stead. He fulfilled what we were unable, and unwilling, to do. His sobriety, His self-denial and discipline, count for us. But that is not all. He not only kept the Law, He also allowed the Law to do to Him all that justice demanded it do to us. He who knew no sin, became sin. He suffered in the agony of His soul, the guiltless guilty with His own Blood upon His hands. All this that we might be forgiven and saved.
And thus it is that He stands in the river separating the wilderness from the Promised Land and John pours the dirty water over His head. He does not need this Baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, these waters of humility, but He submits to them for us. His Baptism is our Baptism. The water does not sanctify Him, but He sanctifies the water. The water that falls off His back flows into all the fonts of Christendom, as a pure, holy, life-giving water, rich in Grace. For He who stands in the Jordan is the Word made Flesh. He makes Baptism, Baptism.
This Word crucified and risen is combined with and included in the water. It creates and sustains the faith which receives all of His benefits. This water saves by the power of His resurrection. It joins us to Him, burying us in His death, and raising us by the glory of the Father in His resurrection. You were baptized into Him. His Name was applied to you: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You now belong to Him. His Baptism, His anointing, His inheritance, is yours. The heavens opened also upon you. The Holy Spirit descended. The Father proclaimed, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well-pleased." He was talking about you!
There is no one to accuse you. The wrath of God has been appeased. Justice has been served. The payment made in full. You go free, but not back to your old evil haunts, but to the mansions of heaven, to the life of grace. For you are a member of the royal household, a royal priest. You feast on the heavenly banquet with brothers and sisters, those still here and those already moved ahead of us. You rest secure in the ever prevailing mercy of His love.
You are not those who were baptized. You are those who ARE baptized. You are washed, clean, pure. Soon it shall be evident to everyone, and all of creation groans as in the pangs of childbirth, eagerly awaiting it. For now it is not always so obvious. There are tragedies, self-inflicted and those simply suffered at the hands of a cruel world. There are dark passages and depression. There is an uncertain future and a murky, turbulent past. Children walk into school with guns. People are starving in great numbers. Babies are violently ripped from their mothers' wombs and tossed out with the trash. Father's despise their children and leave their wives. Pain, suffering, and loneliness are all around us.
But let not your hearts be troubled. Do not rest on the subjective, fleeting things, the things that come and go, the feelings of happiness or sadness, the sense of well-being and contentment nor of worry or uncertainty. But rest of the objective, historical reality of Jesus death and resurrection and your inclusion in it in Baptism. Trust in the infallible, never failing, never fading Word of God. There is your hope and your certainty! You are baptized! God promises to love you and care for you, to protect you and provide for you. He says you are forgiven. That is enough! And soon the fleeting things of this life lived in death will be removed. You will see clearly, as you were meant to see. Then you shall be free inside and out, as your heart in faith already is. Then your joy will be complete. Until then, do what He says: eat His Body, drink His Blood, and listen to His Word. That will be your strength, your refuge, your fortress, and your might. That will see you through to the coming Day. It will comfort and console. It will feed and nourish. It will endure. For does He not promise, "Lo! I am with you always, even unto the end of the age?" Do not be afraid. The Lord, your God, who was born of the Virgin, anointed by John with the Baptism of forgiveness, crucified, and risen, He goes with you. He will not forsake you, nor leave you.
