Mini Fiats with batteries - Own your own Enzo!
Welcome to the club page for remote control model FIATs. I started with a Mad Bull – a sort of standard entry level, easy to build, drives anywhere, but limited tuning.
My latest project is an Enzo Ferrari from TAMIYA and I'd like to talk about that.
I run my cars at our school r/c club. We aren't allowed to use any fuel, so electric is the driving force!
I chose a 1/10th scale Enzo Ferrari because its battery sits parallel to the rear drive shaft – with better balance and handling. Like all these models its also 4-wheel drive. Its body is plastic and strong (although pricey at over £45.) Aluminum and carbonfibre options are available too but cost more. The chassis was easy to assemble.
This wouldn't be my first choice of Ferrari, but Tamiya make it in standard (TT-01) and race (TB-02) forms.
TB-02 comes with race shocks and ball race bearings. It's cheaper to buy this package than upgrade later, if you can afford it all at once.
The Enzo body comes as clear plastic to spray inside, masking out the clear windows first. I couldn't find the Tamiya colour I wanted – Ferrari Sunburst Yellow. So I used Fiat Broom Yellow with a white primer behind. Problem is it tends to flake off on heavy impact. We are going to try protecting it with a lacquer coat inside.
I liked blue window tints and found a stop light spray by Folia Tec from Halfords. Works well – lots of thin coats needed.
Tip 1 To cure the paint-flake problem I'll use the recommended polypro paints that stick to the shell and resist impact shocks better. Even if they don't look so cool.
Tip 2 Unless you want a stone dredger/ road sweeper, do not cut off the body mounting posts as Tamiya show on their build manual photos (see above). You need to be able to change the ride height of the body!
Tip 3 If you keep loosing the pins to hold the body on the posts try paper clips they're cheaper.
Tip 4 Check out the HPI body shells at half Tamiya prices.
The Enzo is highly nervous in cornering - but at the right times - so you can flick it easily. I set it up like this, but you could just as easily set it to a different driving style.
My way it needs quicker opposite lock reactions but it also corners faster.
Our club meets after school every other Thursday. We use a small car park at the back of the school. It's mostly enclosed with trees walls and shrubs to catch the cars when they get flicked into the air.
I won the last championship after a close fight with my main rival, who races a highly tuned Subaru Impreza. He finished 2nd last season behind my Mad Bull.
This year his Subaru is much quicker. In third is a Toyota Supra which is the quickest down the straights - not as good cornering. All three are on Tamiya chassis.
There are 9 more in the field but they're not as quick. Newest arrival is a Lotus Exige with a shell from HPI. They cost about half of the Tamiya shells and are worth checking out. I'm thinking of joining the nearest R/C club at Aldershot too but it's a long way to travel.
I like the chassis rigidity.. its flickability…balance, weight distribution and steering accuracy. Also has good wheelbase size.
I don't like the easy way it collects stones from the tyres inside, the vent hole under the motor (I blocked mine up) that badly clogs up your motor leading to frequent cleaning. I also dislike the rapid wearing motor bushes, and its weak points: the plastic joints on the steering arms (pop off on impact), plastic diff casing, and especially the nylon drive gears (tend to get munched in competition). I replaced the drive gears with aluminium ones as soon as I could. The Enzo wing mirrors last about 2 seconds in competition.
With the next tuning parts the Enzo will be seriously modded. I've bought a 9 twin turn motor, along with a matching electronic speed control (ESC) and race slick tyres. A new motor will often need another compatible ESC and they can be as expensive as the motor itself.
If you can't afford this lot, I'd start with different grades of spring and oil for the shock absorbers (try and choose shock absorbers that are oil filled) or a decent speed control (ESC) that will liven up even a standard motor. Springs should come in pairs with different strengths (spring rates). And they should be colour coded to help in testing/ swapping.
Look at the drive gear ratios too. To keep the wheelspin down you need to know the surface and tyres you will use – how much grip there is. And check if your car reaches its top speed before the corners in races. Changing the final drive ratio will trade acceleration for top speed (or top speed for acceleration). Look at when you want to overtake other cars in your races too – I mean where your car is faster or slower than theirs.
How fast are they? Electric have near instant acceleration, only limited by wheel spin. My Enzo does 40mph in about 1 second (again depends on the wheel spin) and tops out at about 60. Nitro have a clutch and gears and are probably slower off the mark, but tend to have better top speeds - like 80mph.
Do I choose Nitro or Electric Power?
First Nitro - Nitro fuelled motors give more power and top speed, and better endurance. But it's more difficult to find places to run them. The fastest can reach 70-80 mph so are really only usable in wide-open spaces or on purpose built club tracks. They may need catch fencing if/ when they fly and the public/spectators need to be protected or zoned away from the high risk areas around corners. Nitro fuel comes in 2 litre containers for around £30 (not in gas bottles like the real cars, as dad thought!).
Tip 1 Choose a local club and find out what cars they run in their championships etc. before you decide on the car & motor to get if you're going to race it. Then you'll have advice and fellow nuts on hand. For example Schumaker make some of the quickest nitro models in the world, but the UK currently has only one championship for them.
Tip 2 If you're not going to race them, decide where you will be using it.
Then there's electric motors. They are cleaner but rely on heavier batteries for power. Typical top speeds are from 15 to 60 mph – depending on your motor and gearing - but have better torque and acceleration as nitro cars have to deal with a clutch & gear changes.
How long do the batteries last? They'll run for 5 – 25 minutes in races (constant running) depending on the battery size, and motor tuning. And whether you keep the speed up and don't stop. Starting a tuned motor drains the battery a lot. I think swapping over batteries is faster than re-fuelling nitros but then you have to buy more than one battery!
What size are the models? 1/10th scale is a good compromise – its stable over bumps outside, gives you a good chance to control at high speed, is good for looks, yet still easy to carry and store. It's also popular and not as expensive as larger scales.
Indoors, in limited space, smaller scales will be better….like 1/17th or 1/18th. Latest technology has improved the 1/20th scales a lot if you only want to run them in an indoor hall. They are all quick and cheaper than the 1/10th size.
What does it cost? For Electric set ups you'll need a car, car battery & charger, controller, control battery & charger. In most cases the controller, batteries and chargers are not supplied with the cars. They cost about £100 – £200 for the cars, £20 for the batteries and £45 for the controller and charger. Nitro engined cars are more expensive to buy and run. Try eBay and similar sites for second hand too.
What are crystals? Crystals are the chips that set the frequency your car transmits and receives. There are 2 crystals, one for the transmitter and one for the receiver. If they don't match you can't control your car, and if a friend has the same frequency then the most powerful transmitter/battery will control both cars. Before you can run with others the frequencies have to be checked & changed if they conflict.
What's the controller's maximum range? The controller on full battery will go for about half a mile, but very rarely is there a half mile in which to use it – that's probably too far away too see anyway.
Finding Your Local Clubs? Ask your nearest r/c model shops, or look in magazines like R/C Racer. Internet searches are not as reliable – not all clubs have sites you can find - but you could try.
Do I have to build it myself? No, there are Ready to Race (RtR) and Almost Ready to Race (ARtR) around too. Choice is more limited and performance could be dented. Or you could also pay for someone to do your body for you. I get my dad to help!
How much space to race? You'll know quickly yourself, two tennis courts - or a car park twenty car parking bay is about the minimum for 1/10th scale running. Twice that size is about the smallest for several cars at once.
Where do we race? Using any of these cars in the street is not good. They will cause accidents because drivers don't know how quick they can go. I was trying a new motor in my Enzo in a Tesco car park (after hours) at the same time as a Fiesta turbo and a motor bike were having a short drag race. The Enzo beat them both! My Ferrari does 40mph almost instantly and tops out about 60mph… and its nothing like the quickest.
How do I measure up for a new body shell? Just because you have a 1/10th-scale chassis doesn't mean a 1/10th-scale shell will always fit it. You need to know the distance between the front & rear wheels (the wheelbase) and the width across the axles (the track) on the chassis. In some chassis the wheelbase is adjustable. Lastly the body is hung off four vertical 'posts' – two posts near the front and two near the rear of the chassis.
Reminder Don't cut down the posts if you want to adjust the ride height later.
You need to make sure you can make holes in the new shell on its bonnet & boot that line up with the posts, and look good with the body at the right height. Best way is to take your chassis along and try it out on the new shell. If you can't do that then measure up the old shell – its wheelbase, its track, and its front & rear post positions (from the front and rear of the old shell AND the chassis). Lastly don't forget the foam that goes inside the front of the shell to help take hits… some manufacturers supply it to fit the shell, and some supply it with the chassis – either way it needs to be shaped so it fits with no gaps.
Tip you can get 'L' shaped posts to change their upright position if needed.
I've seen a Dallara X1/9 too but don't know who makes these historics.

It's been a while since I've been here. 11 years to be exact. It's always interesting going back to a place you visited when you were younger. Perspectives definitely change, and the memories are completely different. When I saw the duomo again in Milan this time, there was a familiarity about it. At the same time it looked so foreign. We visited so many different cathedrals during my two weeks in Italy I could probably keep this blog going with cathedral posts for a good two weeks or so. This one in Milan was absolutely breathtaking.
Does that not look like a picture taken out of a fairytale movie? Ok maybe not fairytale, but everything about the church just looks majestic. It's still hard for me to comprehend what people were capable of building back in the day. You don't see buildings like these anymore, especially in the U.S.
There's another picture with no filter. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but the square itself that the church is located in is just as impressive.
And another. This cathedral actually had a strict dress code of no shorts or bare shoulders that was enforced, so I walked in awkwardly with my jacket wrapped around my waist to cover my bare legs. The inside was gorgeous as well but I wasn't able to snap any pictures.
I have so many more posts to write about my trip to Italy. Stay tuned! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the pictures of the grand duomo of Milan.


Respite may have come the way of patients suffering from heart-related ailments as the entire South-south and South-east geopolitical zones now have their first functional Cardiovascular Laboratory at the Bayelsa Specialist Hospital (BSH), in Yenagoa.
A card lab is a specially equipped hospital room where doctors perform minimally invasive tests and procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases, involving the use of tiny, flexible tubes which can be used instead of invasive surgery, to access the heart and blood vessels.
The medical equipment helps the care team to diagnose and treat blockages and other problems in the arteries, including reversal of strokes.
Renown Interventional Cardiologist, Dr. Dafe Emmanuel, in an interview at the specialist hospital yesterday, said since the inauguration of the hospital, which was built by the state Governor, Seriake Dickson, the lab now serves the 11 states that make up the South-south and South-east.
Dafe, who heads the cardiovascular unit of the hospital, however, said patients from other parts of the country also patronise the medical facility for various cardiovascular procedures.
He said: "In the Bayelsa Specialist Hospital we have a functional cardiovascular laboratory that serves the whole of South-south and the South-east. This is the only functioning card lab in these 11 states.
"Other card labs working in Nigeria are three in Lagos and one in Abuja. The one in Abuja serves the whole of the North and it is privately driven. In Enugu the federal government tried to establish one but it never worked.
"There are only about four functional card labs in Nigeria. This is how terrible it is. People die every day," he said.
He said over 100 patients from outside the state patronised the hospital for cardiovascular procedures in the past one year, adding that they came from Abuja, Katsina, Zaria, Calabar, Benin, Owerri, Enugu, Port Harcourt among others.
"We have had more than 100 patients since we the card lab became operational hat come from outside to get cardiovascular help here," he said.
Dr. Dafe said the laboratory was equipped to manage all cardiovascular cases such as coronary setting, right and left heart cathetisation , geoplasting, peripheral balloons among others.
He added: "We have treated many patients that were due for above knee amputation. The orthopedic doctors said they would chop off their legs. Nobody wants their legs chopped off. No matter how beautiful the artificial legs look like, they cannot be exactly like the natural leg.
"A number of them that came here, we were able to convert them. Many of them did not have the amputation anymore. Some of them we converted from above knee to below knee amputation because the gangrene was extensive and we couldn't salvage the muscles and the tissues. We also do pace maker insertions here.
"We do minor heart surgery. You don't open up the heart. You use needle to get into the vessel. Then pass your wires and get the work done and while doing that the patient is awake and you are talking with the patient. Everything is done and the same or next day, the patient will go".
Community Chief Executive Officer (CCEO) of BSH, Cynthia Oye, also said though the state government owned the hospital, it was being managed by a private organisation, Oasis Global Network.
She said the hospital was also equipped to undertake other critical health procedures other than cardiovascular cases, adding that BHS was effectively handling stroke and kidney cases through state-of the-art machine.
Oye noted that the hospital was currently running free cleft lip ad cleft palate surgeries in partnership with an American-based organisation.
She said: "We have free surgeries and it is still ongoing. We started the surgeries June last year and we have had 22 successfully done so far".

Q: How much can one rely on the mean or median to infer a difference? When performing an explonatory data analysis, one tries to visualize patterns of behavior of your target variable against the variables that you're assuming could explain the target variable. For example, consider that you're objective is to assess if the status of the loan could be explained by the income of the person. One could visualize this relationship through a boxplot as the following image shows

In this example, one see that there is a slight difference in the annual income for the people that fully paid their loans based on the median. Thus, when peforming a visual exploratory analysis how much can one rely on measures like the median or the mean to conclude that there is in fact a difference in the groups of interest? In this case, how valid would be to affirm that there is indeed a difference based on the mean. Alternatively, one could take an statistical approach to test if there is an difference in mean among groups through a t-test or ANOVA.

A: Alas, that is what statistics is all about.  You need to do the formal hypothesis testing, as you could receive curve-balls when it comes to interpreting the median, mean - or mode - by eye.
This looks like a great pattern for regression or ANOVA.
I am reminded of the old statistics joke (one of the few): 9 bankrupt people are in a bar drowning their sorrows.  A billionaire drops in and, presto! the average wealth is now $100 million each!  Here the mean tells you nothing....

Every year the sleepy Landa Park near the headwaters of the Comal River in New Braunfels Texas comes alive with the sounds of polka music, cries of "Prost!" and the smell of bratwurst. I'm talking about Wurstfest, the annual festival that celebrates the German culture and heritage of one of Texas' oldest towns.
Started in 1961 as a festival to honor sausage, over the years Wurstfest has become one of the liveliest and cannot miss events of the Fall season in the Hill Country. By the third year of the festival in 1964, attendance reached 30,000 and visitors consumed over 5,000 pounds of sausage. Yep, you read that right. For a more detailed history of Wurstfest and the German presence in New Braunfels, click here.
Held each year in the first two weeks of November, this festival really allows visitors to immerse themselves in the unique blend of German and Texan, specifically Hill Country, cultures. There's plenty of beer to be had in the multiple beerhalls and gartens but one of the aspects of the festival that has become the most famous is the food.
Oh, my goodness, the food.
Near the front entrance lies the food hall and I swear you can smell the intoxicating smells blocks away. The sausage options alone are enough to keep you occupied for hours. The traditional bratwurst is offered in addition to smoked jalapeno cheese and a spicy andouille. I've sampled them all and let me tell you that you cannot go wrong. In addition to the traditional fare, local vendors set up shop in the food tent and you can get fluffy, decadent pastries right next to a street taco stand. Wurstfest lasts for 10 days so you have plenty of opportunities to get a bite of it all!
Once you've stuffed yourself in the food tent, head on over to Wursthalle to getting moving to the polka music. If you've never heard polka, then prepare yourself for a life changing experience. All of the musical acts that grace the Wursthalle stage are lively and will keep you out of your seat for hours. Don't know how to polka? No problem! There are plenty of omas and opas that will teach you all of the right steps.
This year's festival starts on November 2nd so mark your calendar, grab your lederhosen, and get ready for one heck of a good time. Prost!

Once we jumped on the whipping cream bandwagon, we couldn't get off without adding another flavor. Like the Lemon Lavender, the Orange Cinnamon Scones are terrific. The same easy directions apply: add one cup of whipping cream to the mix, knead the dough, cut dough into triangles and bake. The aroma of orange and cinnamon wafting from the warm scones is irresistible. Teach them a lesson with some butter and a knife. We hand craft these in small batches in Ailey, Georgia.

Q: Can someone walk me through this problem step by step-Symmetric Pairs problem Can someone please help a beginner understand the process for solving this in MS SQL Server. If you have any courses you would recommend that would be great as well. I have taken some but they have not equipped me to solve this. I am a beginner. Thanks

A: Basically, you need to perform some kind of joining your data to itself (also called self join) in order to be able to check for the given condition:
x1 = y2 and x2 = y1

We can use the following query to get all pairs:
DECLARE @DataSource TABLE
(
    [x] INT
   ,[y] INT
);

INSERT INTO @DataSource ([x], [y])
VALUES (20, 20)
      ,(20, 20)
      ,(20, 21)
      ,(23, 22)
      ,(22, 23)
      ,(21, 20);

WITH DataSource AS
(
    SELECT [x]
          ,[y]
          ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS [RowID]
    FROM @DataSource
)
SELECT *
FROM DataSource DS1
INNER JOIN DataSource DS2
    ON DS1.[x] = DS2.[y]
    AND DS1.[y] = DS2.[x]
WHERE DS1.[RowID] <> DS2.[RowID];

Using ROW_NUMBER we are generating a unique ID for each row in order to be sure it won't be joined to itself.
In your sample result, you have only the first part of the pair (where x1 < x2 and you get unique values. So, we can change the query a little bit:
SELECT DISTINCT [x]
               ,[y]
FROM @DataSource DS1
WHERE EXISTS
(
    SELECT 1
    FROM @DataSource DS2
    WHERE DS1.[x] = DS2.[y]
        AND DS1.[y] = DS2.[x]
        AND DS1.[X] <= DS2.[x]
)
ORDER BY [x];

It has one small change. We are looking for the part of the pair, where x1<x2. And of course, if you are more comfortable with joins you can just do this:
SELECT DISTINCT DS1.[x]
               ,DS1.[y]
FROM @DataSource DS1
INNER JOIN @DataSource DS2
    ON DS1.[x] = DS2.[y]
    AND DS1.[y] = DS2.[x]
    AND DS1.[x] <= DS2.[x]
ORDER BY DS1.[x];

A: /* Case 1: Cases where x=y and have more than one record */
with tempa as
(
    select x,y
    from functions
    where x=y
    group by x,y
    having count(*)>=2
),
/* Case 2: Where x=y and y=x and x<>y */
tempb as
(
  select distinct A_X,A_Y from
    (
        select distinct a.x as A_X,a.y as A_Y, b.y as B_Y,b.x as B_X
        from functions a inner join functions b
        on a.x=b.y and a.y=b.x
    )
   where A_X<B_X
)
select * from
(
    select * from tempa
    union
    select * from tempb
)
 order by 1;

A: WHERE f1.X = f1.Y AND
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Functions WHERE X = f1.X AND Y = f1.Y) > 1

UNION

SELECT f1.X, f1.Y from Functions f1
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT X, Y FROM Functions WHERE f1.X = Y
             AND f1.Y = X AND f1.X < X)
ORDER BY X;```

« Keepin' on: Bob Dylan at 70 | Main | Justice and conflict resolution »
Time to Go (by Eve Garrard)
The UCU (the academics' union) is now trying to change the definition of anti-Semitism in order to maintain a policy which discriminates against Jews, without having to acknowledge that it is indeed discriminatory. The policy in question is the proposed boycott of Israel: the UCU singles out Israel, and Israel alone, for special condemnation and punitive treatment. The Union has form in this matter: I resigned from it three years ago when it displayed that same intense desire to select Israel, and no other country in the world, for boycott, even in the face of legal advice that such a practice would fall foul of anti-discrimination law in this country. Now it is so determined to maintain its stance, and so cocksure about its own moral and political superiority, that its Executive proposes to reject the EU definition of anti-Semitism, since according to that definition the UCU's singular and selective hostility to Israel may indeed be anti-Semitic.
Those of us who took part in some of the debates about Israel on the Union activists' list will recall with misery the readiness of people on that list to compare Israel to the Nazis, to claim that Gaza was equivalent to the Warsaw ghetto, to denounce Israel as an apartheid state, and to praise boycotters' sterling courage in bravely ignoring the worries of Jewish UCU members who felt that we were seeing a resurgence of anti-Semitism under the thin disguise of an anti-Zionist figleaf. Such worries were standardly discredited by claiming that they were merely dishonest attempts to distract attention from Israel's crimes. This discrediting manoeuvre doesn't seem to have been entirely successful, since the UCU now feels the need to rebut charges of anti-Semitism by definitional fiat: if a definition of racism shows up our practices as racist, then... change the definition! Words mean whatever we want them to mean, whatever we say they mean. You might think that academics would be able to find a better political role model than Humpty-Dumpty, but they're under a hard drive here: if the UCU were to accept that singling out the world's only Jewish state for uniquely hostile treatment, or spreading innuendos about the sinister global power of its supporters, or telling lies about it being a practitioner of apartheid, or making a disgusting equivalence between Zionists and Nazis – if the Union were to accept that all or even any of these activities might be anti-Semitic practices, then some influential members of the UCU might show up as endorsing anti-Semitism. But that would be intolerable - better to announce that the word 'anti-Semitism' needs to be given a different definition.
This Orwellian resolution of political disputes by way of linguistic fiat is particularly contemptible in an academics' union, since academics are supposed to have some knowledge of how argument works, and how intellectually empty it is to support an argument by distorting the meanings of the terms you use. (It's not of course politically empty, and the UCU's vicious example has certainly strengthened some of those who want to see the Jewish state destroyed.) The UCU doesn't offer any alternative account of anti-Semitism for us to use, and this is not accidental: central to definitions of any kind of racism are core concerns about unequal treatment which disadvantages members of the disfavoured race, and the deployment of hostile stereotypes about them. Since this is exactly what the UCU does to Israel and its supporters, and indeed longs to do more of, it will be hard put to find a way of defining anti-Semitism which will let it off the racist hook. Perhaps this is why it has prudently kept quiet on the matter of an alternative definition. We are just supposed to take on trust the claim that a Union which wants to boycott the only Jewish state in the world, and doesn't want to boycott anywhere else, isn't and can't be anti-Semitic.
This form of anti-Semitism would, like all other forms of that oldest of prejudices, be funny if it weren't frightening, if it weren't another little nail in the coffin of Jewish feelings of security and equality. What is to be done? There is nothing to do but try to fight against it, with or without much hope of success. But that fight can take a variety of forms. When I resigned from the UCU back in 2008 I fully understood why some of my colleagues, Jewish and non-Jewish, preferred to remain in the union, with a view to fighting for change from within. I wasn't very optimistic about their chances, but I respected, and still respect, their decision to keep trying. But things look much bleaker for anti-racism in the UCU now. It's no longer plausible to suppose that the Union will feel the need to change its discriminatory propensities, however strong the arguments against it are. It isn't only the spectacle of the boycott obsessives in the Union leadership which forms a basis for that pessimistic conclusion. It's also the sight of the majority of union members, who I am quite sure have no interest in boycotting Israel and who would vote against doing so by a huge majority if they were ever given the chance, being nonetheless content to remain silent as their leaders dance the Union down the well-paved path to institutionalized anti-Semitism. They don't feel moved to complain; they're prepared to put up with their Union embracing discrimination against one, and only one, ethnic minority. Jews aren't treated as equals in a Union whose leadership wants to act in ways which have an unequal and damaging impact on its Jewish members, while denying that any such unequal impact exists, and dismissing as dishonest the unease and alarm felt by many Jews in the Union. The leadership can't bring itself to acknowledge even the possibility of anti-Jewish racism in its ranks; and the rest of the Union membership by and large simply doesn't care. (See the final paragraph of this earlier normblog post.)
(There are some shining exceptions to this monumental unconcern – Union members who have given their time and energy, sometimes to an extent which has damaged them, in order to combat these vile tendencies in the Union. But unfortunately there aren't very many of them, and they haven't succeeded either in altering the behaviour of the leadership or in galvanizing the membership to resist the leadership's obsessions. Nonetheless they should be recognized and honoured for their efforts, as should others making similar efforts from outside the Union's ranks.)
Academics, like other people, need a union to defend them in these hard times. You can't blame people for wanting to remain in the Union to protect their own interests. But now the price for doing so is collusion with practices which discriminate against Jews; collusion with the denial that such discrimination is taking place; collusion with the claim that practices which would be racist if they targeted other ethnic minorities aren't racist when they target Jews. Alone among the many forms of racism, anti-Semitism is the one whose name mustn't be spoken within the portals of the UCU. Its very existence must be denied; it is, we might say, the Jew among racisms, which must be cast out from the circle of academic concern so that Israel may continue to be hated in peace and comfort, without any tiresome objections to disturb that hatred's steady swell.
Continued membership of the UCU now involves complicity with this exercise in denial. It is appalling that the Union has put its members in the position of having to forego Union protection or collude with Union discrimination. Like many others, I always believed that people had a duty to join their union and to support it; but this belief rested on a prior assumption that unions wouldn't discriminate against their members. That assumption is no longer a reliable one where the Jewish members of the UCU are concerned. It's increasingly evident that this institution is one in which Jewish concerns about racism, unlike all other concerns about racism, are dismissed as unimportant, with the Jews who have these concerns being derided as dishonest and manipulative. It's time for Jews who are unwilling to collude with this treatment, unwilling to accept the role of lower-class citizen which the Union is scripting for them, to leave the Union. (Eve Garrard)

We not only need volunteers to take care of the day-to-day care of the PAWS dogs, we also need adoption helper volunteers (we call them Floor Volunteers) to work with the public and pair them up with their new best friend. Our wonderful dogs are in search of canine lovers who can walk individuals through the dog wing and talk about their personalities, preferences, and what home would suit them most perfectly. Floor Volunteers work alongside our Adoption Counselors who actually process applications and complete adoptions. If you're interested in ultimately helping with adoptions, sign up for training to become a Floor Volunteer to get your feet wet.
If you are an existing dog care volunteer, we offer a shortened version of this training combined with a mentor experience at the Sunday showings for those interested in also being an adoption helper. Dates for these classes are also on the training calendar below. Click on the training date for information on how to sign up. You must register in advance.
Part 1: you'll have training with our Adoption Assistant and go over the basics of working with our dogs and working with the public. This is a separate training from Dog Care Training. If you are interested in working more hands-on with the dogs, please see our Dog Care Training Information page.
Parts 2 and 3, mentoring shifts: The next parts of the training includes working with a mentor to make sure that you're comfortable coming to PAWS to volunteer after the training. You will shadow a more experienced Floor Volunteer or Adoption Counselor in order to gain more "hands on" experience for one shift. You'll also shadow with a Dog Care volunteer for 1 hour another day, to help you gain comfort in handling or our resident dogs. You can sign up for additional mentor shifts, or begin volunteering on your own once your mentor shifts are complete.
Youth volunteers who are at least 10 years old, are welcome to sign up to work as Floor Volunteers during our 12-2 foster dog showings every Sunday.
First, please fill out the Volunteer Application online here.
Next, please consult the calendar below for training dates, and request registration by emailing our Adoption Assistant (Attn: Floor Volunteer Training) to sign up for a training date.
Be sure to include your contact information so we can reach you if the session must be rescheduled.
All volunteers must preregister for a training date. We are currently not taking any walk-ins during our training sessions.


We encouraged people to Step Out for National Camping and Caravanning Week 2018 and complete a circular walk from one of our 103 UK Club Sites.
The 2018 event took place from 28 May - 3 June. Club research found that nearly 60% of campers say walking and hiking are their favourite activities when camping.
On 22nd May, we teamed up with the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) for the Great Ridge Light NIght event in aid of the Mend our Mountains campaign. With the support of Club President Julia Bradbury and Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson, we're encouraging everyone who values the hills, mountains and landscapes of Britain to club together in supporting the things we all use, from bridleways to paths and bridges which are all vital in shaping our experiences in the great outdoors. Watch our video to learn more.
For inspiration on your next walk, why not have a look at our list of suggested circular walks from Club Sites? There are over 30 to choose from, so get walking!

Constantly Improving the Patient Experience
Download Lisa Maples's story
Lisa Maples's career-long dedication.
As Director of Centralized Patient Logistics, Lisa Maples, RN, BSN, MSHSA provided leadership for the multiple departments that impacted patient flow across the Health First Integrated Delivery Network (IDN). Lisa recently retired and took a few minutes to share her thoughts on what it takes to launch and sustain a successful patient flow strategy, along with the staff members and patients who had an impact on her over the years.
AN ORIGIN ROOTED IN CARE
"I have been an RN for more than 30 years. I graduated with a BSN and started my career working in a med/surg unit, eventually transferring to the ICU after a year—but I always knew that I would end up in the ED because I knew that emergency nursing was my true calling. When the right opportunity became available, I moved to a Level 1 trauma center as a staff RN. I worked my way into the trauma room and never looked back. I spent 12 years at this center and was the director by the end of my time there. I also spent a few years doing part-time flight nursing during this time. I then spent the next eight years as an administrative director for a couple of different emergency departments—including having responsibility for two urgent care centers. At that point I was looking for something different and found the patient flow role at Health First. I had only seen patient flow—and the opportunities for improvement—from the emergency department side and was very interested to see it from the inpatient side. I took a new role at Health First as the Patient Flow Administrator and within six months I had also taken on the role of managing the staffing office and the house supervisors. The patient flow role morphed into a role that allowed us to centralize patient flow across the IDN, by adding the flight team, flight communications, centralized registration, non-medical stretcher transport and the transfer center under the one umbrella of Centralized Patient Logistics."

Products - Microtector II G460.
The multi-gas detector Microtector II G460 has been specifically developed for meeting the requirements of daily work. It is the lightest and smallest gas detector in its class, easy to use and designed according to ergonomic principles.
The innovative multi-gas detector G460 passes the performance test and is certified according to EN 60079-29-1 (explosive gases), EN 50104 (oxygen) and EN 45544 (toxic gases).
The standard version of G460 detects O2, H2S, CO, CO2 and combustible gases in particular. Additional sensors are available for NH3, HCl, PH3, HCN, NO, NO2, SO2 and a variety of other gases. Thus, you can arrange your GfG gas detector to fit your exact requirements.
One single GfG infrared sensor is enough to simultaneously measure CO2, the lower explosion limit (LEL) and up to 100% vol. of combustible gases. This innovative technology is exclusively available at GfG. The wear-free and extremely durable GfG infrared sensors considerably reduce your future expenditure for maintenance and replacement of sensors.
For increasing the user's safety, this device detects carbon dioxide by means of the selective infrared measuring technology (NDIR). The IR sensors provide long-term stable detection values. Unlike electrochemical sensors, the IR measuring technology is not subject to cross sensitivity from toxic hydrogen sulphide. Furthermore, the expected sensor life of a GfG infrared sensor corresponds to the expected service life of the gas detector. Thus in the medium-term, there is no need to replace used-up or contaminated electrochemical sensors.
The Microtector II G460 is the smallest detector world-wide which can be equipped with both an infrared sensor and a PID.
Comprehensive protection is additionally provided by a PID (photoionization detector) detecting volatile organic compounds. Familiar substances containing VOCs include solvents, paint thinner and nail polish remover as well as the gases and vapours associated with fuels such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil or kerosene. Specific toxic substances such as benzene, butadiene, hexane, toluene, xylene and many others are reliably detected. For most VOCs, however, the occupational exposure limit value is achieved long before readings reach a concentration high enough to trigger a combustible range alarm. The PID provides additional protection here.
Microtector II G460 has a robust casing. Due to the high-class rubber coating, the device is extremely shockproof and water resistant (IP67). Depending on the installed sensor equipment, the operating time is up to 30 hours such that its usage for the entire working days can be assured. For power supply, either batteries or rechargeable batteries can be used. The gas detector Microtector II G460 is particularly small and the lightest device in its class. Due to this, users consider wearing the device as particularly convenient and non-disturbing.
The innovative design and exceptional functionality of this device were honoured with one of the internationally most coveted prized for product design, the red dot design award and the GIT SICHERHEIT AWARD.
An innovative alarm system has been developed to reliably warn of possible gas hazards. In case of gas hazard, the display changes its colour – depending on the hazard level – like a traffic light to green, orange or red. In addition, a circumferential LED strip flashes with the respective colour. A high performance audible alarm is also in noisy environments louder than any other ambient noise. The big coloured graphic display is reversible by 180° such that an easy reading is assured even when wearing the device on the body. The integrated zoom function can be used to enlarge the display at a push of a button. This ensures an easy reading of the measurement values even in difficult situations and both hands are kept free.
Rechargeable NiMH or alkaline batteries which can be exchanged quickly and easily are available for providing the power supply. Their operating time is up to 30 hours. In combination with the NiMH battery pack equipped with EX-protected LED lights, the device can additionally be used as a bright flash light. With the help of the charging tray, the battery packs can be charged comfortably. However, charging is also possible using the docking station, test station or the vehicle charging cable for 12 V and 24 V.
Apart from operation in normal diffusion mode, the gas detector can optionally be equipped with the electrical pump G400-MP2. The pump has an own power supply, flow monitoring and communicates with the gas detector.
Whether it's a simple functional test or a complete documentation, tried and tested solutions are at your disposal. The mobile test station TS400 and automatic test and calibrating station DS400 are the ideal supplements to save money, time and efforts. Fast reacting GfG high performance sensors and a sophisticated pump system enable the lowest gas consumption.

Minority, women-owned businesses apply for emergency pandemic relief
Charlie Hall
There is money — up to $1,000 — available for minority- and women-owned businesses — to be had with a simple application form.
The Small Diverse Business Emergency Relief Fund is provided by National Institute Economic Development and posted among Craven Community College Small Business Center resources. It is open to small businesses throughout North Carolina.
New Bern's Talina Massey, the owner of Business Savvy LLC, is interested in the grant and said there are probably hundreds of other minority and female-owned businesses in the area who could use help.
"Indeed, I would and I will definitely be interested in sharing that with our network," she said.
Savvy provides consulting and marketing expertise for small businesses, with a network list of 75 active businesses.
The height of the COVID-19 shutdown severely limited her in meeting in person with small business owners because of personal contact issues. Zoom became one of the alternatives.

"It has impacted a lot of my business because people like for me to come in, to talk face-to-face, see my face, shake my hand," she said. "It's difficult to get someone to trust you with their business on a zoom call, or over the phone. It takes time."
According to the New Bern area Chamber of Commerce, there are startling numbers statewide on small businesses.
One in four small businesses is on the brink of closing
$100 spent with a local small business — $68 stays in the community
97.9 percent of North Carolina businesses are small businesses
46 percent of North Carolinians work for small businesses
The Emergency Relief Fund money may be used to cover rent, utilities, or other operational expenses impacted by a decline in business due to COVID-19.
You must apply using the online application.
Some of the qualifications include that the applicant was in business prior to February 2020; it must be owned at least 51 percent by a minority or woman; must be an active enterprise as validated by the NC Secretary of State or other verifiable documentation; and the applicant must demonstrate economic injury from COVID-19 Pandemic.
Charlie Hall can be reached at 252-635-5667 or 252-259-7585, or charlie.hall@newbernsj.com. Follow him on Facebook at Charlie Hall.

We have tried the peanut butter on roof of mouth or on the floor and as soon as you get her the back of the neck she starts dancing around and then we cant give her the shot. My husband is about ready to put her down. I said I will see if we can give her something to calm her down. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Q: Date changing when passed to express? Utterly confused about time zones. I pass a Date object as a value in an object I'm posting from React to Express and then to MongoDB using Mongoose.
It seems to change randomly when I send the post request? At first I thought it was that Node/Express was running in UTC by default. In the browser console it outputs as my local time, then in the server console it outputs in UTC, but if I use new Date() server-side it generates an object that says my local time. Why is this the case?
I'm trying to save data about flash cards, one of which is the time the card was last reviewed. I want to serve the card to the client if a certain interval has passed, but I'm not sure the best way to handle this with the time zone differences. Is there a way to set the server time zone to the client time zone? What's the best way to smooth this interaction.
TIA!

What to Do When You Feel Sad or Upset and Don't Know Why
More in Depression
Childhood Depression
Reasons You Might Be Depressed
By Nancy Schimelpfening
Tom Merton/Getty Images
It's possible to be depressed but not know it. This isn't to say that you aren't aware that you feel bad, but you may not be aware that what you are feeling could be labeled as "depression."
Reasons You May Not Know That You Are Depressed
You've been depressed for so long that it simply feels normal to you. This may be especially true for those who have been depressed since early childhood.
You may not be feeling particularly sad so you think it can't possibly be depression. Keep in mind that depression can take more forms than just a feeling of profound sadness. You may feel tired, low in energy or lack in any real sense of joy without necessarily feeling sadness or being weepy.
Depression can develop gradually over an extended period of time. When the changes in mood are subtle and come on slowly we may simply not recognize that things aren't the same as they used to be.
Depression can make you feel down about yourself. If you are feeling like you are somehow bad or defective it's easy to dismiss what you are feeling as somehow being an innate part of yourself that can't be fixed. You may feel that rather than suffering from a treatable illness you are irreparably broken and unworthy of feeling better.
Cultural differences can also make it more difficult to recognize and acknowledge depression. If those around you treat depression as something that must be borne without complaint then you may feel as if asking for help is a sign of weakness.
So how do you know if you are depressed? If you've been experiencing several of the following symptoms for at least two weeks then it is possible that you could be suffering from depression:
Feelings of sadness or emptiness
Anger and irritability
Loss of interest in activities usually enjoyed
Sleep problems such as insomnia or sleeping too much
Fatigue or lack of energy
Changes in appetite or weight (can be either a lack of appetite accompanied by weight loss or increased appetite with weight gain)
Anxiety and agitation
Slowed thought, speech or physical movements
Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness or excessive guilt
Problems with thinking, memory, concentration and decision making
Thoughts of death and suicide
Mysterious aches and pains with no discernible cause
What to Do If You Feel Sad or Upset for Prolonged Periods But Don't Know Why
If you suspect that you may have depression—or things simply don't feel quite right—it is a wise idea to speak with your personal physician about what you feeling. He can screen you for possible causes for your symptoms and get you the proper medical care that you need.
Depression Discussion Guide
Get our printable guide to help you ask the right questions at your next doctor's appointment.
As part of your doctor visit, you may have certain blood tests done to rule out other causes of your depression symptoms. Certain conditions—such as hypothyroidism—can create symptoms which mimic depression. Once these conditions have been ruled out your doctor can then either treat you himself with antidepressant medications or he can refer you to a psychiatrist, psychotherapist or another qualified mental health professional who specializes in treating mental health conditions.

The Eyre River is a river in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The headwaters of the river rise below Blackboy  Hill approximately  south of Wellstead. The river flows in a south-easterly direction and discharges into Cheynes Inlet and on to the Southern Ocean.

The river was named in 1850 by the explorer Francis Thomas Gregory after the explorer John Eyre, who crossed it in 1841 on his expedition from Adelaide to Albany.

2014-2015 Graduate Bulletin [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Physical Theatre, M.F.A.
Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
The Master of Fine Arts in Physical Theatre is offered in conjunction with the Accademia dell'Arte in Arezzo, Italy. Students must be admitted to the graduate program at MUW prior to enrolling in courses leading to the MFA degree.
The MFA in Physical Theatre combines the study of movement/dance, Italian language, vocal study, and music with the study of circus arts, the techniques of the commedia dell'arte, and contemporary mime/masks. The program will provide students with a high level of technical training for the actor, as well as a study of the aesthetic, historical, and social contexts of the commedia dell'arte. The degree emphasizes the "actor as creator" and creative autonomy to prepare students for solo performance. As a terminal degree program, students also may opt for a career in teaching.
The MFA program takes place across a 26-month period divided into modules that range from 8 weeks to 12 weeks. The total instruction is over 1800 hours. The MFA requires 60 semester hours of coursework, including a performance project and a thesis. Students in the program must follow the modules as outlined in their Bulletin of record from their entering year.
In order to secure a place in the MFA in Physical Theatre, candidates are required to pay a deposit within 15 days of receipt of emailed acceptance letter.
Deposit amount: $2000.00 (this payment may be made in one transaction or several installments by agreement with Accademia dell' Arte and MUW.) This deposit will be credited toward first semester's tuition.
The Deposit is refundable at any time under the following conditions with appropriate documentation:
Serious accident, injury or ill-health to candidate or to a family member (parents, siblings)
Student is refused financial aid or other grant sources
Students wishing to transfer to another MFA program or withdraw from the MFA in Physical Theatre must do so prior to May 1 in order to receive refund on Deposit. Deposit will not be refundable for this reason after May 1.

Q: Norm operators bounded below implies almost uniform lower bound I have a hard time proving (or disproving) the following statement about continuous linear operators:
$$(\exists c>0:\forall j:\|T_j\|\geq c)\Rightarrow(\exists\delta>0:\forall n:\exists x\in X:\forall 1\leq j\leq n:|T_jx|\geq\delta)$$
where $T_j$ is a sequence of continuous linear functionals on a Banach space $X$, so $T_j:X\to\mathbb{R}$. Does anybody have any thoughts on this? Thank you in advance!

A: For an arbitrary $n$, if we have an $x_n\in X$ such that $T_j x_n \neq 0$ for $1 \leqslant j\leqslant n$, then we can scale by a large enough real number so that $\lvert T_j (tx_n)\rvert \geqslant \delta$ for $1\leqslant j \leqslant n$ whatever $\delta$ we prescribed.
So the problem reduces to the question whether we can always find such an $x_n$, or, in an equivalent formulation, whether
$$X \neq \bigcup_{j = 1}^n \ker T_j$$
for all $n$. The assertion $\lVert T_j\rVert \geqslant c$ for some $c > 0$ ensures that none of the $T_j$ is the zero functional, so $\ker T_j$ is a proper closed subspace of $X$ for all $j$. As a proper subspace, $\ker T_j$ has empty interior, so $\ker T_j$ is nowhere dense. Hence
$$N = \bigcup_{j = 1}^{\infty} \ker T_j$$
is a meagre subset of $X$, and by Baire's theorem $X \setminus N$ is dense, in particular $X\setminus N$ is nonempty.
Now take an $x_0 \in X\setminus N$, and for each $n$ choose $t_n \in \mathbb{R}$ so large that
$$\lvert T_j(t_n\cdot x_0)\rvert \geqslant \delta$$
for $1 \leqslant j \leqslant n$.
