The Poconos has been one of the top honeymoon destinations in America for generations. At one point, this region was even dubbed the "honeymoon capital of the world!" Couples began traveling here after tying the knot following the Civil War, coming by train to this rugged wilderness from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. There are lots of great resorts here still today that cater to honeymooners and make your first stay as a married couple extra special. Here are great Poconos honeymoon resort options to choose from.

It doesn't get much more romantic than that!
For honeymooners looking for fun and excitement, book a room at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in the Poconos. Package deals are offered that include spa credit and dining credit. For your special post-wedding celebration, consider booking the King Suite, which has a living room, wet bar, and other luxurious amenities.

Play a game of golf together on the 27-hole course on an island, get a couples' massage at the spa, and kick back at the ShawneeCraft Brewery.
Honeymooning couples also love the Woodlands Resort and the romance packages offered here. Consider booking the Streamside One-Bedroom Suite or Tower One-Bedroom Suite for extra space to relax. This is a very LGBT-friendly resort too. With two unique restaurants onsite, honeymooners can pick between delicious pizza or sushi.


Kumquats are one of the healthy solutions for diabetic patients who are craving for snacks. During the season, kumquats may be beneficial for diabetes treatments because there are a lot of qualities of this type of citrus that suit the condition of diabetic patients. For those who don't know about kumquats, this fruit is comes from citrus family with scientific name Citrus japonica. Recently this fruit is well known to be good for diabetes treatment though there are a lot of health benefits of kumquats you should know as well because this fruit is super healthy and nutritious.
Why Kumquats Are Good for Diabetes?
A person who has been diagnosed with certain types of diabetes should always manage their immunity system, control their appetite and consuming foods low of glycemic index. Kumquats are rich of vitamin C benefits to boost immunity system, packed with fiber called nectin to suppress the appetite and make you full longer and also one of the types of food with low glycemic index. Well, those are only some benefits of kumquats for diabetes treatments and the list below will give you the information in details.
There are a lot of vitamins C benefits for diabetic patients. First, vitamin C will help optimizing the calcium absorption which is essential for patients with diabetes. Second, vitamin C could help maintain the health system to prevent severe conditions caused by diabetic condition.
Vitamin C, beta-carotene and polyphenols are common compounds found in all citrus family including kumquats. Antioxidants will help fighting free radicals and prevent oxidative stress and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Having excellent immunity system for diabetic patients is a must. Vitamin C and antioxidants like health benefits of beta-carotene and polyphenols are excellent immunity booster.
Just like any citrus family, kumquats are also high in fiber, especially nectin. Nectin found in the soft skin covering the pulp as well as in the peels. That is why eating kumquats are better when you consume it along with its peel.
One of the problems commonly face by diabetic patients is really hard to control their appetite. As mentioned in the previous point, nectin in kumquats will help suppressing the appetite because it will make you feel full longer.
Consuming foods or fruits with low glycemic index is one of the highly recommended types of diet for diabetic patients. Unlike most of foods with glycemic index, kumquats are super tasty and healthy.
Those who are suffering from type 2 diabetes are in high risk of cholesterol. However, consuming foods that lower cholesterol level like kumquats is good as part of natural treatment.
Sodium is one of the trigger of heart attack. When your body is excessive of sodium content, some heart conditions are likely to happen. In diabetic patients the risk of heart problems and symptoms of high blood pressure becomes higher.
One of the health risks of obesity is type 2 diabetes. Kumquats which are rich of fiber and vitamin C are excellent solution for weight management and fight obesity.
Some scientific studies also found out that consuming the extract of kumquats are possible in lowering the fasting blood sugar.
What do you know about blood lipid level? Blood lipid or fat found in blood could be in the form of cholesterol or triglycerides and when the level is high conditions like heart attack or stroke are likely to happen.
As mentioned in some points above kumquats are rich of fiber and vitamin C as well as low in sodium. Moreover, kumquats are also packed with some essential minerals like potassium and the main health benefits of potassium are super good for heart health.
One of the main health benefits of fiber is good for digestive health. Not only that the present of nectin, one of the potent type of fiber, in kumquats are making this fruit is super excellent for diabetes treatments.
The lack of energy is one of the symptoms suffered by diabetic patients. That is why having an excellent source to boost energy is important. Kumquats are excellent fruits for breakfast to help boosting energy so you have enough stamina to do whatever activities in a day.
There is no easy option when it comes to snacking for diabetic patients. However, kumquats are an easy snack option and safe to be consumed by diabetic patients in daily basis with one important note, followed by a strict diet management.
There are a lot of options of diabetes treatments you could choose today and consuming kumquats are among the treatments that are highly recommended. However, still there are some cautions you should aware as well.
As mentioned in the list above there are a lot of benefits of kumquats for diabetes treatment but you should also remember that kumquats are also possible high in sugar. That is why if you want to add kumquats as part of your diabetes treatment should be followed by a strict sugar diet management.
The best way to eat kumquats is eating them along with the peel. So it is highly recommended to purchase organic kumquats only to reduce the risk of being contaminated with dangerous chemicals. However, still washing them thoroughly using running water is highly recommended before you eat it.
Just like the common fruit from citrus family, kumquats could be a little bit acidic especially for you who are having weak stomach. It is also not recommended to consume kumquats in empty stomach.
Aside from the unique name, kumquats have a lot of benefits for human health. However, if you want to add this fruit as part of your diabetes treatments, consulting it with your doctors beforehand is necessary because as mentioned in the cautions, kumquats are high in sugar so dosage or amount is really matter. However, as long as you consume it in moderate amount, kumquats could be an alternative and tasty solution to deal with diabetic conditions.

Q: Bootstrap carousel TypeError: $next[0] is undefined I built a bootstrap carousel on a Laravel 5.5 Website, using Vue2. Everything worked fine, but now, all of a sudden, the slides don't slide properly and the console is throwing the following TypeError:

TypeError: $next[0] is undefined

Sliding back is fine, but when sliding to the right (i.e. next slide), the carousel shows some white space or is jumping directly to the next slide without sliding.
I am importing bootstrap via CDN. This is what my carousel looks like (including Vue directives):

            Previous

            Next

And this is my Vue file (app.js):
require('./bootstrap');
window.Vue = require('vue');
window.filters = require('vue2-filters');
window.Event = new Vue();

Vue.component('location_map', require('./components/HomeMaps.vue'));

Vue.component('modal', {
    props: ['pic_key', 'pics', 'showGalleryModal'],
    template: `

                <slot></slot>

            <button class="modal-close is-large" aria-label="close" @click="$emit('close')"></button>

    `
});

Vue.use(filters);

new Vue({
    el: '#root',
    data() {
        return {
            showGalleryModal: false,
            pic_key: 0,
            pics: [],
        }
    }
});

As you might have noticed, there's another single file component doing some stuff on another page of the website. The error occured after I implemented this other component, but I don't see why it should influence the carousel, since it has nothing to do with it (it doesn't even use bootstrap at all)...
However, is there anyone with an idea how to fix this? Is there a chance that this is just a bootstrap bug?

A: That just happened to me. I realized the error $next[0] is undefined is thrown because I am using Bootstrap 3, not 4.
With Bootstrap 3 the class of the element containing the pictures should be item and not carousel-item
So, if it is your case, just change this line:

Whisking Through Life: Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate and Pigs?
Okay I have been meaning to post this for about two weeks now...but hey there was a little on my mind getting married last weekend and all. Back to that later. This cake though was the groom's cake for the wedding three weeks ago. I honestly wasn't even going to blog about it because I forgot to take a picture of the inside. Turns out the groom did though and was willing to share.
I might have had the most fun I have ever had making this cake. It was a complete surprise for the groom and I was ecstatic to get to make it for him. I chose the inside filling because I had heard from him before that he loved this cake he had from Crumbs one time with an Oreo cream filling. This is not for those who don't enjoy a rich cake though. It is chocolate, chocolate, chocolate with pigs on top...of course I would not recommend eating the pigs though, unless you just enjoy chewing on fondant. The cake was devil's food cake, with vanilla frosting filling with tones of Oreos crushed and mixed in, with chocolate ganache on top and Reece's and KitKats around the outside. It turned out looking and tasting exactly the way I wanted it to, and definitely made me want to experiment more with fondant. Bonus though is that is tasted great too, unlike most decorative cakes. Enjoy!
Sunrise over Old Town...there was some early morning running (pre-wedding) before a meeting a couple of weeks ago and I just had to snap a shot.
Not much better than crushed Oreos...these would be so good on top of some ice cream right now.
Not so pretty, but definitely tasty.
Photo courtesy of the groom.
2 large packages of KitKats incase you break a few like I did.
1. Line the bottom of three 9" round cake pans with parchment paper, and spray the sides with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a whisk or a hand-mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Then whisk in the vanilla extract. Next, add the eggs one at a time, until well mixed.
4. Alternately add flour mixture and coffee/milk to the butter mixture, whisk between the addition of each just until combined. (Note: Start and end with the flour mixture.) Divide the batter evenly between the three pans. Bake them for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean in the middle, check after 20 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans.
5. While cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. With a hand mixer, beat softened butter until smooth. Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined. Then fold in the Oreo crumbs, until evenly distributed.
6. Next start the ganache process. Bring cream just to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour over chocolate, and add salt. Let stand for 10 minutes (don't stir -- doing so will cool the ganache too quickly, making it grainy).
7. Stir with a whisk until smooth and shiny to break up any pieces and emulsify cream and chocolate.
8. Chocolate will often settle on the bottom or sides of the bowl. Scrape dish with a rubber spatula to incorporate all of it. Let cool until mostly thickened, and a consistency not to runny but easy to spoon on the cake without running everywhere.
Once cakes have fully cooled, remove the parchment paper from bottom layer and move to cake server. Cut off the top rounded part so the top layer will lay flat. Carefully frost the bottom layer with half of the Oreo filling. Repeat this step, placing the top layer of the cake on with no filling. Place the unwrapper small Reece's around the bottom perimeter of the cake. Next using the ganache as a "glue" dab a little bit on each 2 KitKat piece and place on the outside of the cake on top of the Reece's, until the go all the way around. Tie the outside of the KitKats with a ribbon to keep them in place. Then pour the ganache only on the top, and place the pigs as desired.
Carefully remove the ribbon, and cut the cake in desired size pieces. I would remove the KitKat to the plate before cutting to make it easier and that way everyone got a KitKat and Reece's with their piece. Store at room temperature and Enjoy!

We've all dreamt of that picture-perfect, romantic, African safari… where fire-coloured sunsets mark the end of the day and the sound of lions roaring wake you up in the early AMs.
This was likely the idea two American travellers had in mind when they booked their honeymoon to Botswana in October last year. But what they experienced in the Okavango Delta was something completely different.

DISCLAIMER: After seeing a post on Mr Maxey's blog, I volunteered to provide a review and was sent a preview copy.
Greatshadow is a very ambitious book that aims high and, for the most part, gets there. When I read the premise of the novel I was intrigued and penciled it in as something to keep an eye out for, hence why I leapt at the chance to get an advance reading. I had read one of Mr Maxey's earlier books and, while I had found it a bit rough around the edges, I had really enjoyed the fast pace and frenetic action. I was hoping for more of the same in Greatshadow, and I was most definitely not disappointed.
Greatshadow starts with action, and doesn't really let up for the rest of the book. I loved the narrator, who is unreliable in the true sense of the world, and I had to admire Mr Maxey's ingenious solution to the problem of how a narrator sees things that are going on in places other than his physical location. While the narrator is far from perfect, we do find ourselves on his side, hoping for a happy ending. This "everyman" character gives us a point of engagement as we see the other characters through his eyes.
And, the real strength of Greatshadow truly does lie with its ensemble of super powered warriors, each of whom has a unique set of gifts. I won't go into details as discovering them is half the fun for the reader, but Mr Maxey really has done an exceptional job of taking the standard fantasy archetypes (the paladin, the warrior princess, the mysterious eastern warrior and so one) and giving them his own, special twist. There was one hero in particular whose powers really impressed me as a fresh idea, and whose downfall was incredibly ingenious (if I say it's to do with prayer you will find out who I mean!).
The only real problems I had with the book were some sloppy editing (changes of tense that seemed odd, for example) and the sometimes sophomoric humour and attitudes to women. The humourous shortcomings may just be to do with my taste, but I thought that some of the sexual references were a bit juvenile and that, while there are some very strong female characters, women too often fell into wish fulfilment territory.
Imagine David Gemmell crossed with "Grunts" by Mary Gentle, and it might give you an idea of what to expect. If you are after a book that is action packed, has some incredibly imaginative heroes, monsters and villains and can handle a bit of blood and guts then this is well worth your while. I know I would have been happy to have paid for a book that was this entertaining, and I will most definitely be buying the next one.
You can buy Greatshadow here .

About Flash and the Pan
The best-known alter ego of the Harry Vanda/George Young songwriting team (the creative force behind the Easybeats), Flash and the Pan began simply as a between-production project in 1976. By 1979, the project had turned out a novelty hit with the single "Hey St. Peter." A second single, "Down Among the Dead," also became a hit throughout Australia and Europe, inspiring the release of the album Flash and the Pan. American radio began playing import copies which led to a deal with Epic Records. The album would soon reach the Top 100 in the U.S. despite the lack of a supporting tour. They released two more albums with some minor success in the U.K., but failed to make much impact due to the part-time nature of the project. ~ Chris Woodstra

The myth of the German jobs miracle
Opinion piece (Financial Times)
Christian Odendahl is one of the finest analysts of the German economy writing in English. So it's worth your time to closely read his review of the country's labour market reforms of the early 2000s, sometimes called "Agenda 2010" or the "Hartz Reforms".
There's lots to digest, from his finding that German real interest rates were significantly higher in 1999-2007 than in the other large Western economies to his observation that the impact of the reforms is often overstated because they happened to coincide with the end of Germany's decade-long construction bust.
The most useful insight for policymakers elsewhere in the euro area is that Germany's reforms in 2003-2005 can't explain most of the interesting things that have happened in the German economy during its membership of the single currency. The features that prevented mass layoffs in 2008 were much older, for example.
But we want to highlight something else in Odendahl's paper: his implication that Germany's jobs growth is more myth than miracle.
Yes, the number of Germans listed as having a job has grown by about 15 per cent since the lows in the mid-1990s. But the total number of hours worked is less than 2 per cent higher over the same period and still significantly lower than in the early 1990s:
As Odendahl notes, this wouldn't necessarily be a problem if an employment boom happened to coincide with a widespread desire to spend less time on the job.
But this is unlikely, since the disconnect between jobs and hours worked went hand in hand with a large increase in the share of Germans at risk of poverty:
Odendahl also points out that more than a fifth of West German workers are low-paid (wages below two-thirds of the median, or about €10.50 an hour as of 2014). That's up from just 15 per cent in the mid-1990s:
As if that weren't bad enough, these workers have consistently been taxed at punitive rates:
"In Germany, benefit payments are still reduced at a steep rate of more than 80 per cent when recipients take up work. (In the UK, universal credit is reduced by just 63 pence for every pound a recipient earns.) Low wage earners are then taxed at 45 per cent in Germany, which is a whopping 13 percentage points higher than the OECD average."
That's slightly worse than France and significantly above Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Only Belgium and Hungary are worse. The chart below, which we made using OECD data, shows the average "tax wedge" paid by single low-income workers:
Countries with generous in-kind benefits for health and schools can look relatively worse on this measure than places with more meagre welfare spending, but this seems like an insufficient explanation considering how Germany compares to the Netherlands and Scandinavians:
German taxes on low-paid workers were among the highest in the world when the data began in 2000 and they've stayed that way ever since. No wonder German consumers have been so miserly! This isn't just bad for German workers, but for the whole world. If only there were German politicians keen on addressing this…

When Christmas time is coming, all of us think of the most precious and important people in our life. It's high time to remember your family, but don't forget to give your attention to husband's family either. For example, he has a wonderful mother. You should be certainly grateful to her for the best man in the world you've got.
This fantastic holiday is a nice opportunity to thank your mother-in-law by giving her a present. If you still haven't decided which gift to prepare you can look through the following list of some brilliant ideas.
I'm sure there is no such home where you can't find champagne glasses. It's difficult to imagine some great family holiday or celebration of any important occasion without champagne and beautiful glasses for it. If you have used the same kind of glasses for years and now you are bored from them, you can definitely change them for a different kind.

Plastic gear injection molding process and materials
Zetar
Plastic gears are moving toward larger sizes, more complex geometry, and higher strength, with high-performance resins and long glass fiber-filled composites playing an important role. In the past 50 years, plastic gear has undergone a change from a new material to an important industrial material.
Today they are embedded in many different applications, such as cars, watches, sewing machines, structural control devices, and missiles, to transfer torque and form of motion. In addition to existing applications, new and more difficult gear applications will continue to emerge, and this trend is still in progress.
The automotive industry has become one of the fastest-growing areas of plastic gear, and this successful change is encouraging. Car manufacturers are trying to find auxiliary systems for all kinds of car drives.
They need motors and gears rather than power, hydraulics, or cables. This change has led to the penetration of plastic power gears into a wide range of applications, from lift doors, seats, and tracking headlights to brake actuators, electric throttle segments, turbine regulators, and more.
The application of plastic power gear is further expanded. Precision plastic gears are often used to replace machined metal gears in applications where large sizes are required, such as washing machine drives using plastic, which changes the size limit of gears.
Plastic gears are also used in many other applications, such as vibration-damping drives in ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC), valve drives in flow facilities, automatic scrubbers in common rooms, power screwers for surface stabilization in small aircraft, and screw and weight meters and control devices in military applications.
A large-size, high-strength plastic gear
Because of the advantages of plastic gear molding which can be molded larger, with high precision and high strength characteristics, is an important reason for the development of plastic gear.
How to design a gear configuration that maximizes transmission power while minimizing transmission errors and noise is a challenge. This requires high machining accuracy for the concentricity, tooth shape, and other characteristics of the gear.
Some helical gears may require complex shaping actions to produce the final product, while others require core teeth in thicker parts to reduce shrinkage.
While many injection molding specialists have achieved the ability to produce the new generation of plastic gears using the latest polymeric materials, equipment, and processing techniques, a real challenge for all processors will be how to fit this entire high-precision product.
The difficulty of control
The tolerances allowed for high-precision gears are generally difficult to describe as "good" as stated by the American Plastics Industry Association (SPI).
But today most molding experts USE THE LATEST injection molding machines equipped WITH MACHINING CONTROL UNITS THAT CONTROL the precision OF molding temperature, injection pressure, and other variables in a complex window to shape precise gears.
Some gear-forming specialists use a more advanced approach, placing temperature and pressure sensors in the cavities to improve consistency and repeatability.
Plastic gear manufacturers inspection also need to use specialized inspection equipment such as double-toothed side rolling detectors to control gear quality, and computer-controlled detectors to assess gear tooth surfaces and other features. But having the right equipment is just the start.
Those trying to enter the precision gear industry must also adjust their injection molding environment to ensure that they produce gears that are as consistent as possible in every injection and every cavity.
Since the behavior of mechanics IS often the decisive FACTOR in THE production of mold precision gears, they MUST focus on the training of their employees and the control of the operation process.
Because the size of the gear is susceptible to seasonal temperature changes, and even the temperature fluctuations caused by opening the door and letting a forklift pass can affect the dimensional accuracy of the gear, the injection molding manufacturer needs to strictly control the environmental conditions in the molding area.
Other factors to consider include a stable power supply, suitable drying equipment that controls polymer temperature and humidity, and a cooling unit with constant airflow.
In some cases, automatic technology is used to remove the gear from the forming position and place it on the transfer unit in a single repetitive action to achieve the same cooling method.
Important molding cooling steps
The machining of high-precision parts is compared with the requirements of general molding processing, which needs to pay more attention to the details and the measurement techniques required to achieve the precise measurement level.
This tool must ensure that the injection molding temperature and cooling rate in the cavity are the same for each molding. The most common problem in precision gear machining is how to deal with the symmetry cooling of gear and the consistency of each mold cavity.
Precision gear dies generally do not exceed 4 cavities. Since the first generation of molds produced only one gear with few specific instructions, tooth inserts were often used to reduce the cost of secondary cutting.
Precision gears shall be injected from a gate at the center of the gear. Multiple gates are easy to form fusion lines, change the pressure distribution and shrinkage, and affect the gear tolerance.
For fiberglass reinforced materials, because the fiber is arranged radially along the welding line, it is easy to cause eccentric radius "collision" when using multiple gates.
A molding expert can control the deformation of the tooth groove, and obtain a controllable, consistent, and uniform shrinkage ability of the product based on good equipment, molding design, used material stretching ability, and processing conditions as the premise.
When forming, it is required to accurately control the temperature of the forming surface, injection pressure, and cooling process.
Other important factors include wall thickness, gate size and location, packing type, amount and direction, flow rate, and forming internal stress.
The most common plastic gears are straight teeth, cylindrical worm gears, and helical gears. Almost all gears made of metal can be made of plastic.
Gears are usually shaped by a split die cavity. When machining helical gear, because the gear or gear ring forming the teeth must be rotated during injection, attention should be paid to its details.
The worm gear produces less noise than straight teeth when running, and after forming, it is removed by rotating out the cavity or using multiple sliding mechanisms. If a sliding mechanism is used, it must be operated with high precision to avoid obvious split stitches on the gear.
New process and new resin
More advanced plastic gear-forming methods are being developed. For example, the second injection molding method, through the design of an elastic body between the wheel shaft and the teeth, makes the gear run more quietly, when the gear suddenly stops running, can better absorb the vibration, and avoid damage to the teeth.
The axles can be remolded to other materials, with the choice of more flexible or more valuable, self-lubricating composites.
At the same time, gas assisted method and injection compression molding method were studied as a method to improve the quality of gear teeth, and the overall precision of gear and reduce internal stress.
In addition to the gear itself, the molding personnel also need to pay attention to the design structure of the gear.
The position of the gear shafts in the structure must be aligned linearly to ensure that the gears run in a straight line, even when the load and temperature change, so the dimensional stability and accuracy of the structure are very important.
To take this into account, gear structures with certain rigidity should be made of materials such as glass fiber-reinforced materials or mineral-filled polymers.
Now, in the field of precision gear manufacturing, the emergence of a range of engineered thermoplastics offers more options than ever before.
The MOST COMMONLY USED MATERIALS, SUCH AS acetAL, PBT, AND POLYAMIDE, CAN produce gear equipment with excellent FATIGUE resistance, WEAR resistance, smoothness, high TANGential stress strength, and ability to withstand vibration loads caused by the operation of reciprocating motors.
For crystalline polymer must be formed at a high enough temperature to ensure the full crystallization of the material, otherwise in use due to the temperature rise above the molding temperature, the material occurs secondary crystallization and lead to injection molded gears size change.
Acetal, as an important injection molded plastic gear manufacturing material, has been widely used in automobiles, appliances, office equipment, and other fields for more than 40 years.
Its size stability and high fatigue and chemical resistance can withstand temperatures up to 90 ° C and above. Compared with metal and other plastic materials, it has excellent lubrication properties.
PBT polyester can produce a very smooth surface, the maximum operating temperature can reach 150℃ without filling modification, and the glass fiber reinforced product operating temperature can reach 170℃. It works well in comparison with acetal, other types of plastics, and metal materials and is often USED IN GEAR structures.
Polyamide materials, compared with other plastics and metal materials, have the properties of good toughness and durability and are often used in turbine transmission design and gear frame applications.
The operating temperature of polyamide gear is up to 150℃ when it is not filled, and the operating temperature of glass fiber reinforced product is up to 175℃.
However, polyamides have the characteristics of hygroscopicity or lubricant resulting in size variation, making them unsuitable for use in the precision gear field.
Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) has high hardness, dimensional stability, fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance up to 200 ° C. Its application is penetrating the application field of demanding working conditions, the auto industry, and other end uses.
Producing precision gears made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) has good dimensional stability. It can tolerate temperatures up to 220 ° C and has high chemical resistance and low forming shrinkage changes. The plastic material has been used to make gear with teeth about 0.066mm thick, equivalent to 2/3 of the diameter of human hair.
Thermoplastic elasticity allows the gear to run more quietly, making the gear more flexible and able to absorb impact loads well. For example, a low-power, high-sallowpeed gear made of copolyester
thermoplastic elastomers allow for some deviations while maintaining adequate dimensional stability and hardness, while reducing operating noise. An example of such an application is the gear used in curtain actuators.
Materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene have also been used for gear production in relatively low temperature, corrosive chemical, or high-wear environments. Other polymeric materials have also been considered but are subject to many harsh restrictions in gear applications;
Polycarbonate has poor lubrication, chemical resistance, and fatigue resistance. ABS and LDPE materials usually can not meet the lubrication, fatigue resistance, dimensional stability, heat resistance, creep resistance, and other performance requirements of precision gear. Most of these polymers are used in conventional, low-load, or low-speed gear applications.
The advantage of using plastic gear
Compared with plastic gears of the same size, metal-machined plastic gears operate well and have good dimensional stability when temperature and humidity change. But compared with metal materials, plastics have many advantages in cost, design, processing, and performance.
The inherent design freedom of plastic molding ensures more efficient gear manufacturing than metal molding.
Inner gears, gear sets, worm gears, and other products can be injection molded from plastic, which is difficult to mold from metal materials at a reasonable price. Plastic gears are used in a wider range of applications than metal gears, so they push gears toward bearing higher loads and delivering more power.
Plastic gear is also an important material to meet the requirements of low and quiet operation, which requires high precision, a new tooth shape, and excellent lubricity or flexibility of materials.
Gears MADE OF PLASTIC GENERALLY DO not REQUIRE SECONDARY processing, SO compared with stamped and MACHINE-made metal GEARS, THE cost is guaranteed to be reduced by 50% to 90%.
Plastic gears ARE lighter and more inert than metal spur gears and can be used in environments where unlike metal gears are prone to corrosion and degradation, such as water meters and chemical equipment control.
Compared with unlike metal gear, plastic gear can absorb impact load by deflection deformation, and can better disperse the local load changes caused by shaft deflection and mistook.
The inherent lubrication characteristics of many plastics make them ideal gear materials for printers, toys, and other low-load operating mechanisms, not including lubricants. In addition to operating in a dry environment, gears can also be lubricated with grease or oil.
The enhancement of materials
In the specification of internal gear and structural materials, the important role of fibers and fillers in the properties of resin materials should be taken into account.
For example, when acetal copolymer is filled with 25% short glass fiber (2mm or less), its tensile strength increases by two times, and its hardness increases by three times at high temperatures.
The use of long glass fiber (10 mm or less) fillers improves strength, creep resistance, dimensional stability, toughness, hardness, wear, and much more.
LFRP-reinforced materials are becoming an attractive candidate for large gear and structural applications because of the required hardness and good controlled thermal expansion properties.

Caring for orphans and widows is caring for the family. There is clear teaching.
Nowhere do I say "do not help anyone except widows and orphans."
No, I wasn't questioning if it was appropriate to care for widows or orphans. Yes, it is a clear teaching. I don't need a link to understand that. I've read the Bible before.
1 Timothy 5:4-11 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. 5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. 6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. 7 Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame. 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
11 As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry.
So it seems that although we should care for the widows God wants families to help themselves first which seems appropriate.
I think verse 8 especially shows you just how serious it is when someone doesn't take care of those in their own household.
From what I have seen as a counselor, many families are going through a lot of pain and problems, separation, marital infidelity and problems with children. It seems the church is strangely silent in this area and not helping as much as they could. What could the church do differently to help families stay together and be healthy?
Jesus said families would be separated on account of him and I can kinda see this happening in the families where you got the ones who are turning away from God a little and their sin consumes the family and tears it to pieces. Isn't the cure to have more Jesus and more Gospel then?


Reverend Owusu Bempah explained that the real son of God is called Yeshua Hamashiach.
Controversial pastor, Reverend Owusu Bempah has sparked lots of controversies in Ghana, but hardly did anyone imagine that he would have the effrontery to extend hisbravado to questioning the status of Jesus as the son of God, and by extension the leader of Christianity.
The Leader and founder of Glorious Word Power Ministry International (GWPMI), is reported by mynewsgh.com as having said on Kofi TV that Jesus Christ is an imposter and not the actual son of God.
"The son of God is not called Jesus Christ. He is called Yeshua Hamashiach. The name Jesus Christ was given by Constantine gave that name to Yeshua Hamashiach. Yeshua Hamashiach was given birth to by a woman on earth and was crucified by Plato and rose from the grave the third day into the skies with the hope he will return same as prophesied by angels. He is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Jesus Christ is not the name of the son of God. There was this man who came called Nero who was killing the followers of Jesus Christians who were not even called Christians but Nazarenes. He could feed them to lions and other dangerous animals but their numbers increased", claimed Owusu Bempah on Kofi TV.
Jesus Christ is known and recognised by Christians globally as the son of God and for that matter, the leader of Christianity. If the man of God has now realised that he has been an imposter all along, it is unclear whose name he will uphold henceforth as he continues to practice as a man of God.
One can only wait to see what response his claim will engender from other men of God and Christians across the world.


I was reading an old archive of Montessori magazine and I stumbled upon this article. The article was dated 30 years ago, which is still relevant nowadays. What we do now for our children will have a huge impact in their adulthood.
What do children really need for the important task of self-discovery? They need to be bored. They need to be unhappy. They need to discover their own inner voices and their own pretend games. They need to be sad. They also need to be told to clean up and help with the dishes.
The routine and the banal, the repetitive and the frustrating, are all aspects of life that need to be explored. Life in the family is a rehearsal for life in the world. We cannot expect our children to cope with anger, frustration, and pain if they have not learned to cope with these feelings at home.
Children occasionally need the sort of benevolent neglect that allows a flower to choose its own time and place to blossom. Now, and then, we must turn our attention back to our spouse, our friends, or our work, and give the children an opportunity to just 'be'. When we find ourselves overly intent on manipulating a child's environment, it is time to stop and examine our motives. We must not be afraid of meeting our children's fears, sadness, anger, and frustration; If we run away from negativity, we only teach our children to do the same. The question is, are we protecting or controlling? Are we indulging our children or ourselves?
I saw my child sitting on the floor, chatting away at one of her toys, I would throw myself down next to her and ask what was going on. Essentially, I was butting in. I was interrupting her play. She did not need me at those times.
But I needed her. I liked playing, and I was indulging myself in the guise of showering her with attention. After reforming my behaviour and encouraging my daughter to find ways to amuse herself, I decided upon a new house rule: avoid interrupting a happy child. Instead, pat yourself on the back for raising a child who can be absorbed in the world of childhood.

When Apollo 11 made its trip to the moon in 1969 the leaders of various nations and important voices from the earth were invited to send messages that were included on a small disk that included these greeting. Pope Paul VI included Psalm 8 as a part of his greeting and in light of the magnitude of the journey and the fragility of the men and machines that made the journey this psalm was an excellent choice. This is the first Psalm of praise and wonder in the Psalter and it wonders at the writer's place in the cosmos and the place of humanity in the cosmos. It, like the language of the creation narratives in Genesis, is an expression of awe and praise, of reflecting on the majesty of the world and the universe that wondered encounters. Where Psalms 3-7 have found the psalmist finding their world compressed by fear, by weakness or sickness, by oppression or opposition in Psalm 8 we find the world expanded beyond the immediate moment as the poet gazes into the sky and enters into a state of wonder and awe.
Perhaps the place of wonder, praise and amazement arises out of the experience of being delivered. Where before there was wonder about the present moment because of one's enemies, now the enemies have been silenced from the weakest of place-from the mouth of babes. The world is no longer compressed and the promise in previous Psalms to praise the LORD can now be fulfilled. This is as Rolf Jacobson calls it appropriately the Psalm for 'soul searchers' (Nancy de Clarisse-Walford, 2014, p. 120) For those who look out at the heavens and the earth and all of flora, fauna and features and marvel. In our modern age as we look further out into the night sky at galaxies and universes or deeper into the subatomic world we can still respond from a place of awe at the complexity and beauty of the cosmos we inhabit. Yet for many people the world has lost the sense of wonder it may have once had. The skies become illumined by electric lights blotting out the stars and constellations, the beauty of the world becomes reduced to cold and analytical resources to be exploited. We lose the mystery and magic of the world and the romance between the question of ourselves as a part of the creation and yet somehow entrusted with it as well. As Charles Taylor states memorably speaking of our disenchanted reality, "We might say that we moved from living in a cosmos to be included in a universe." (Taylor, 2007, p. 59) What Charles Taylor is referring to is the sense of loss that many people feel about the difference between the enchanted cosmos of our ancestors full of mystery, magic and danger and our more analyzed and scientific universe where we have lost the sense of mystery and magic.

Q: IIS Redirect Regex doesn't work with a space - %20 in URL So I have one simple problem but somehow doesnt seem to work. I have one URL http://www.domain.com/%20#axzz2ZX4J0KAS which I want to redirect to http://www.domain.com/page-name.htm. I have tried so many combinations in IIS URL Rewrite/web.config and they all seem to work inside test pattern dialog but none works in browsers.

As you can see I tried all of above patterns, they all work fine in Test Pattern dialog but when i browse URL, it always converts %20 to space and rule doesn't work for redirect.
Please help me for this simple yet unsolved problem, if anyone knows what am I missing.

A: I was having a similar issue and got it to work by typing spaces " " instead of %20 for my rules.
So here you may want to try [ ] for your space.

A: Don't include the domain name in your match url.
If you want to handle either having the tracking code or not in your url then you probably want to use something like this:

Ok this is a cool one, and you have my organization skills, or lack thereof, to thank for it. Retro 51 released a range of slimline Tornado ballpoints last year that were really nice. The Electron ballpoint was one of them, and since it's been a while since release, they aren't the easiest to find. Except here, because I have one to give away.

15mm Square Slide Unit Block Linear Motion, Diameter Shaft is 15mm.
I found VXB to be a very customer minded supplier of components. Originally I purchased their 8' x 4' CNC package. The original shipment was damaged in transit. When I reported the damage to VXB's great staff, they immediately shipped out replacement parts to replace the damaged components. I ended up ordering extra 15mm Flanged Square Slide Unit Block Linear Motion units to increase the stiffness of my CNC unit. I am happy to report that the machine is able to tackle wood as a CNC Router and is also able to tackle heavy duty machining as a CNC mill. All I need to do is swap out the work heads. It is also designed to be a 3D printer and a Laser engrave and cutter.
And the action is not very smooth.

Meet campaign co-chairs Ken and Debbie Glover
Author By Jamie Wood
Ken '73 and Debbie (Hypke) Glover '73
Ken '73 and Debbie (Hypke) Glover '73 fondly remember their days as students cheering on men's basketball and attending music concerts in a filled-to-capacity Horton Fieldhouse. Today as alumni, they feel a new kind of excitement for their alma mater, serving as co-chairs for Redbirds Rising: The Campaign for Illinois State.
The Glovers' leadership and support of the campaign is a result of their recognition for the impact ISU has had on them. Ken described a "passion" they feel for the University, while Debbie shared that ISU "is what jump-started and enabled our lives and career to be so good over the years." They feel giving back in service and generous support through Redbirds Rising is a natural thing to do.
Debbie earned a degree in elementary education and taught fourth grade before leaving teaching to raise their three children. Ken majored in business administration and had a successful 35-year career at ExxonMobil as a senior executive—a career that took the family around the world, including a four-year assignment in Belgium. They are now retired and enjoying life and family in Houston.
As long-time philanthropic supporters of Illinois State, the Glovers gave what they could and increased their commitments over time as resources allowed. After seeing how effectively their gifts were used over the years, they chose to increase their support and created The Kenneth T. Sr. and Deborah A. Glover Endowed Scholarship in the College of Business to assist academically talented students pursuing a degree in a business-related field.
According to Ken, who served on the College of Business Advisory board for several years and is now the Vice Chairman of the ISU Foundation, creating a scholarship was a natural step for the couple. "As alumni, we feel an attachment to the University. We know and trust the University's leadership and its organization and therefore, have stayed involved. If you feel a part of something, you want to help that much more."
The Glovers both grew up in DePue and came from modest backgrounds. For Debbie, one of four children, scholarship assistance was pivotal when she transferred to Illinois State. "I was fortunate to receive a scholarship for my two years at ISU that paid for everything but books and housing. I was always grateful for that and to be able to pay it forward makes me feel really good."
Particularly meaningful for the Glovers is meeting the students who have received their scholarships. "You can hear their appreciation in their voices and see it in their faces. When we talk to the students, we are absolutely convinced our money is going to the right place," Ken and Debbie shared.
Debbie added, "A couple of years ago we met all of the recipients at once. We were all sitting around the table together and it felt like family in a sense. They were all comparing notes and talking to each other. It was special."
Between pledges and a planned estate gift, the Glovers have generously committed over half a million dollars to the campaign in addition to their already sizeable scholarship fund. They are confident their dollars will make a difference and feel they are making an investment in the future.
"When you look at these kids, you see they're knocking it down. Not only do they have great GPAs, but they also find time to be active on campus and in the community. There's no doubt they're going to contribute to society and go on to do great things. One day they will possibly give back to ISU," Ken concluded.

A Review of Man on the Run
Posted by Scott Holstad on August 3, 2016
Man on the Run: Paul McCartney in the 1970s by Tom Doyle
Man on the Run is an interesting biography of Paul McCartney and his family during the 1970s, as well as his band, Wings (one of my favorite bands of that decade). It is a long, thorough look at the good, bad, and ugly and pulls no punches, even while it clearly sympathizes with McCartney.
The book begins with the messy breakup of the Beatles, centering around the very public feud between Paul and John, which was part of the impetus for Paul's decision to legally file to dissolve the Beatles. However, the legal ramifications showed that there were financial problems for the group and led to even more, thus sending Paul into a spiral of depression that led to he and his wife, Linda, to move to a farm in Scotland, out of the spotlight. During this period, he also lost a great deal of his confidence he had had in his abilities as a musician, as well as his own identity. Thankfully, Linda helped him through this crisis. Without her devoted love, who knows what would have happened to Paul?
The McCartney family became hippies and lived the hippy lifestyle, but Paul missed being in a band and missed touring, something he had tried to talk the Beatles into doing again and which they had refused to do. So he decided to start his own band – Wings. I didn't know this, but there were actually three incarnations of Wings, three different bands over the years, all with Paul and Linda in them. And they were all comprised largely of studio musicians, mostly unknown. In my opinion, it's frankly amazing Wings achieved the success and prominence they did with such an unassuming group of musicians. They obviously did this only with Paul's leadership and drive.
However, first Paul put out a couple of solo albums, although one was credited to both he and his wife. They were all largely critical failures. The first Wings group met, practiced, and put out Wild Life in 1971. I don't actually recall how it initially did, but ultimately it reached number 11 in the UK and number 10 in the US. Indeed, Paul's first "hit" was a political song called "Give Ireland Back to the Irish," a song that was banned by the BBC. A 1972 non-hit was actually "Mary Had a Little Lamb, literally, which left both his band and the critics confused. Not Paul's best decision. In 1973, Red Rose Speedway was released. It ultimately hit number 5 in the UK and number 1 in the US. In late 1973, the band got its first big break with Band on the Run, which immediately hit number 1 in both the UK and the US (the previous two albums achieved high chart status over time, not immediately). Band on the Run turned Wings into instant stars. 1973-4 hits include "Jet," "Let Me Roll It, " "My Love," a major song that hit number one in the US, "Helen Wheels," "Junior's Farm," "Band on the Run," a huge hit that got to number three in the UK and number one in the US, and "Live and Let Die," a theme song to a new James Bond movie and one that hit number two in the US.
And on it continued. After starting its career playing impromptu college student union tours for something like 50 pounds, Wings were now doing international stadium tours. And Paul could finally gloat over John, who had been taunting Paul publicly for years, basically calling him a giant failure while John, of course, was a musical genius. Not anymore. While John turned out the occasional hit, Paul McCartney and Wings were international stars selling out stadiums with superstar hit albums, something John couldn't say. Paul could, temporarily, put his demons behind him.
However, there was a problem. Pot. He and Linda loved their pot. They smoked a lot of it. And they got it shipped to whatever country they were visiting on their tours. And in one country, Finland?, they were caught and it made international headlines. Of course, it was hugely embarrassing, but the couple actually embraced the moment and came out in favor of pot use and said they were in favor of legalizing it. Later in his career, Paul would be arrested in Japan for possession and it could have been a very serious situation. You should read the book to find out what happened.
Meanwhile, there were band personnel changes. Paul was a cheapskate and while he raked in millions, he paid his band members practically nothing at all. Finally, these session musicians would get fed up and state that they could make more doing session work back in New York or London, so they'd leave. Paul never really got the hint. It's a shame. Still, he continued to put out good albums and tour with his new musicians.
In 1975, Venus and Mars was released and would ultimately hit number one in both the UK and US. 1975 hits included "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" and "Listen to What the Man Said, " which would hit number one in the US. In 1976, Wings released two albums: Wings at the Speed of Sound and a live album, Wings over America. Both hit number two in America. They contained "Silly Love Songs," which hit number two in the UK and number one in the US and "Let 'Em In," which hit number two in the UK and number three in the US. In 1977, "Mull of Kintyre" was released, instantly a huge hit in the UK, remaining at number one longer than any other song in British history until that time, I believe. However, in America, it didn't fare so well, just getting to number 33.
It was at this time that Wings peaked. Already there was a third group of musicians and maybe it was chemistry, maybe Paul was burned out from the nonstop, frantic pace of the decade, I don't know, but the following two albums weren't nearly as good as the preceding albums by most accounts. In 1978, London Town was released. It didn't do as well. Only Paul, Linda, and the lead guitarist were on the album cover because those were the only people in the band. It actually happens to be one of my favorite albums of all time, because I was a youngish kid when it came out and it was one of the first albums I had and my best friend and I listened to it over and over while building model planes. I love that album, but most critics do not. It's not considered one of the better Wings albums, but it did hit number four in the UK and number two in the US. There were three singles released from this album, but the only one that really charted high was "With a Little Luck," one of my all time favorite songs, which hit number five in the UK and number one in the US. Wings' last gasp in the studio came in 1979 with Back to the Egg. It hit number eight in the UK and number three in the US. Its' biggest single was "Getting Closer," which made it to number 60 in the UK and number 20 in the US. And aside from some more solo work over the years, Paul was done and Wings were definitely done as a group. It was the end of an era. A highly successful era, a great decade of music, one of my favorite groups, as I said. And while the rest of the Beatles went on to do solo work and while John achieved some success, clearly Paul McCartney ended up the most successful Beatle of them all, post-Beatles. The best musician, the one who taught John and George how to play, ended up teaching Linda and helping his studio musicians put out a series of commercially successful albums and successful world tours, something the other Beatles rarely, if ever, achieved.
John sniped at Paul throughout most of their post-Beatles lives and Paul, on occasion, sniped back. Paul never really understood where John's hostility came from, his utter hatred. Paul tried to make peace a number of times. There were a few times John seemed to accept the olive branch, only to blindside Paul later with public attacks that hurt Paul deeply. Fortunately, some time before John's premature death, they buried the hatchet and reconnected, so that's a very good thing and even though the author implies John was the major one to start things between the two, he treats all of the Beatles with reasonable respect and points out Paul's faults when necessary.
The author stresses certain things that are important to Paul, such as family. He brought his family on the road with him, kids included. This sometimes made his band members uncomfortable, as it limited their abilities to lead the stereotypical 1970s rock and roll lifestyle (i.e., groupies), and it led to tension, but Paul was dedicated to his wife and kids and that's generally a good thing. He was the only Beatle to have a 100% successful marriage/relationship. That's impressive. He was also committed to financial honesty, at least in his dealings with the Beatles and in management's dealings with the band. He figured out quite quickly that the manager the other three had hired had been screwing the band out of millions while paying the band crap, so he sued – and won – and was vindicated in doing so. The only difficulty with his financial honesty was in his dealings with his band because he stuck with his commitment to pay his band members their agreed upon wages, but when they struck it rich with their new number one hits and their world tours, he wouldn't share the riches and it was truly rather greedy of him, unfortunately. A McCartney wart.
This hardback I read isn't long, just over 250 pages. However, it's packed with so much information and trivia, it takes longer to get through than your average 250 page book. Still, it's informative and exciting and exactly what I've been looking for. I know a lot about the Beatles. I know a lot about John during the 1970s. What I didn't know was what happened to Paul during the 1970s and the story of Wings and I didn't know a book like this existed. So I'm elated to have discovered it and read it. I learned a ton of new information, some good, some bad, but all fascinating, and it answers a lot of questions I had about these people, that band, and that decade. For anyone who's a fan of McCartney and Wings, this is a must read for you. Even if you're just a Beatles fan or a 1970s music buff, this will be a good read for you. Four stars and definitely recommended.

New Investments Through SEZ Regime Projected To Exceed US$3.1 Billion
June 26, 2020 Caribbean News
Hon. Daryl Vaz
New investments in Jamaica, through the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) regime, are projected to exceed US$3.1 billion.
This was noted by Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation, Hon. Daryl Vaz, who further said that new and expanded SEZ space is also projected to increase to 1.5 million square feet.
The Minister was making his contribution to the 2020/21 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday (June 23).
Mr. Vaz said the Jamaica Special Economic Zone Authority (JSEZA), which is responsible for regulating and supervising SEZs, continues the push to heighten stakeholder interest to catalyse further diversification in the sector.
"The progress that has been made in the development of a modern SEZ regime to replace the previous free zone arrangement demonstrates the Government's commitment to build a competitive business environment and support growth-inducing economic activities that stimulate sustainable economic growth and development," he said.
Mr. Vaz said the JSEZA reports that there are approximately 168 entities operating in the country's SEZs, with a total investment of more than US$1.4 billion.
In addition, since the Special Economic Zone Act was passed in 2016, it has successfully transitioned more than 106 entities from free zones to SEZs, and to date, the JSEZA has received and processed 62 applications for new investments in the SEZ regime.
"The free zone investments grandfathered in the SEZ regime are estimated to total US$463 million, with employment for transitioned free zone entities exceeding 25,000," he said.
An SEZ creates a specifically delineated location that is governed separately by the customs and tax regimes of the country and is intended to provide targeted incentives and services to encourage investments in Jamaica's logistics-based industries.
