THE BIBLE - We believe the Bible is God's Word to us. We believe that it is accurate and true. We believe it is timeless and applies to every generation. It is our guide to what we believe and how we live. We believe that God worked through the Bible's writers to communicate with us what He has been doing in history and where everything is heading. Its uniqueness is seen in the accuracy of its many fulfilled prophecies and in its profound impact in changing people's lives.
THE TRINITY - We believe that God has always existed in relationship within His own nature. He has existed eternally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe each one is equally God and yet distinct from each other in the roles they play. This triune God is not something we can fully explain or even grasp with out finite minds.
THE FATHER - We believe in God our Father as the initiator of creation and the amazing plan to save mankind. He exists as a personal spirit and is perfect in love, wisdom, power, justice, and Holiness. He is all-knowing, all present, and all powerful.
JESUS CHRIST - We believe in Jesus Christ as God the son. We believe he became a man and was conceived through the Holy Spirit. We believe in the virgin Birth, his sinless life, the validity of his miracles on earth, his death as payment for our sins, his bodily resurrection and ascension and his future personal and visible return to earth.
HOLY SPIRIT - We believe in the Holy Spirit as God. We believe he was sent by God to convict the world of sin, to bring about a new birth in those who receive Christ and to change and transform those in whom He lives. He does this by strengthening and guiding believers in knowing and doing God's will. We believe that every believer in Christ is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and empowered by Him.
SALVATION - We believe that all people are sinful by nature and by choice and therefore under God's judgment. We believe that those who acknowledge this and demonstrate a desire to turn from their sin to faith and trust in Jesus Christ are saved and are no longer under God's judgment but are transformed by the gift of God's Spirit in them.
CONDUCT - We believe that how we live our lives is very important. We believe that our conduct does not contribute to our salvation but it is the natural outworking of our salvation. We believe a genuine faith in Christ will result in a new desire and power to live out our lives differently. We believe that our goal in conduct is to be made into the likeness of Christ in terms of his desire to bring honor to God and to selflessly love others.
ORDINANCES - We believe in two regular practices that Christ desires to be practiced in the Church. They are Baptism and the Lord's Supper. We believe in observing them until Christ returns.
1. Baptism - The immersion of a believer in water as a public confession and declaration of his faith in and union with Christ. It demonstrates the truths of our death to sin and old way of life as well as the washing of our sins through Christ's work on the cross. It is administered only to those have given evidence of a personal faith in Christ.
2. Communion - The communion time is a time to remember the suffering and death of Christ for us. It is as reminder that His work on the cross is the complete basis for our being made right with God. Communion is open to anyone who trusts in Christ's work on their behalf regardless of their denomination.
END TIMES - We believe in the approaching visible return of Jesus Christ to earth and His ultimate reign with his people from all ages in a new heaven and earth. We believe in the resurrection of the Body and a final judgment of all people before God. We believe in eternal life with God for those who have believed and eternal judgment and separation from God for those who have rejected God's Son. We are called as his people to live in great hope with great zeal as we look forward to the day of His coming.

The latest in a long line of Gran Turismo specials, Renault has breathed new life into its Alpine sub-brand by creating a stunning Vision concept for the latest version of the Playstation game.
Gran Turismo 6 has so far featured virtual concepts from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Mazda and Toyota, with most if not all hinting at future design direction, with this new Alpine following suit and perhaps proving that Renault is serious about fully reviving the iconic name.
In March, it will be possible to take to the track in the Vision Gran Turismo concept in the game when the Playstation title is updated, but many are hinting that this is not just a technical exercise and that production cars will appear with the Alpine name in the future.
Not only has a spokesman from Renault said as far back as 2013 that the name would come back, while we have also seen prototypes of what are thought to be Renault Alpine sports cars testing. Obviously, this Gran Turismo concept will not be the first to bare the Alpine badge, yet, Renault has gone through the trouble of placing a full-size model at the 2015 Festival Automobile International in Paris.
The car's dramatic styling certainly catches the eye, like the rest of the Vision concepts, with its 'bubble' cockpit left excitingly exposed to make to look like some sort of 23rd century LMP2 car; funnily enough, the designers looked back at 1960s Le Mans cars for inspiration, especially at the rear. Meanwhile, the orange and blue are symbolic of the Alpine cars of the same era of racing.
Virtually, the Alpine Vision Gran Turismo concept has a 4.5-litre V8 with 445bhp, while a monocoque chassis helps towards a weight of just 900kg; top speed is a theoretical 200mph or thereabouts.

Q: How to prevent lark from recognizing parts of an identifier as a keyword? I've been experimenting with lark and I came across a little problem.
Suppose I have the following grammar.
parser = Lark('''
    ?start: value
            | start "or" value -> or
    ?value: DIGIT -> digit
            | ID -> id

    DIGIT: /[1-9]\d*/

    %import common.CNAME -> ID

    %import common.WS
    %ignore WS
    ''', parser='lalr')

Let's say I want to parse 1orfoo:
print(parser.parse("1orfoo").pretty())

I would expect lark to see it as the digit 1 followed by the identifier orfoo (thus throwing an error because the grammar does not accept this kind of expressions).
However, the parser runs without error and outputs this:
or
  digit 1
  id    foo

As you can see, lark splits the identifier and sees the expression as an or statement.
Why is this happening? Am I missing something? How can I prevent this kind of behavior?
Thank you in advance.

A: Lark can use different lexers to structure the input text into tokens. The default is "auto", which chooses a lexer based on the parser. For LALR, the "contextual" lexer is chosen (reference). The contextual lexer uses the LALR look-ahead to discard token choices that do not fit with the grammar (reference):

The contextual lexer communicates with the parser, and uses the parser's lookahead prediction to narrow its choice of tokens. So at each point, the lexer only matches the subgroup of terminals that are legal at that parser state, instead of all of the terminals. It's surprisingly effective at resolving common terminal collisions, and allows to parse languages that LALR(1) was previously incapable of parsing.

In your code, since you use the lalr parser, the contextual lexer is used. The lexer first creates a DIGIT token for 1. Next, the lexer has to decide whether to create a token for the or literal or an ID token. Since the parsing state does not expect an ID token, the lexer eliminates the latter choice and tokenizes or.
To change this behavior, you can select the standard lexer instead:
parser = Lark('''...''', parser='lalr', lexer='standard')

On your example, it will generate:
lark.exceptions.UnexpectedToken: Unexpected token Token(ID, 'orfoo') at line 1, column 2.
Expected one of:
    * OR
    * $END

Q: How do you stratify a Poisson regression in GLM? I would like to obtain a stratified baseline hazard in a Poisson regression model.
What is the correct way to do it ?
Let A (=0/1) be the binary covariate on which I wish to stratify my baseline hazard, is it sufficient to write (in lme4, for example) :
glmer(event ~ interval*A + (1 + A|C), data=data,family=poisson,
                offset=log(time))

In this case, I got an estimate for a fixed coefficient for A0, but that does not interest me.
It suggests to me that something is wrong with my formulation.
Any help ?
Thanks :-)

'Armed and dangerous' Louisville armored-car driver wanted by the FBI
Billy Kobin Thomas Novelly
The FBI is searching for a Louisville armored-truck driver who went missing in December along with an estimated $850,000.
Calling him "armed and dangerous," authorities say the driver, Mark Espinosa, has family in the Northeast and on the West Coast and may have fled there.
The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. GardaWorld, the security services firm that owns the truck, is offering a $50,000 reward leading to the recovery of the missing money and conviction of those responsible for the theft, Louisville Metro Police Lt. Steve Kaufling said Wednesday.
The latest:Armored car driver was let go after he and $850,000 in cash disappeared
The disclosure came a few hours after the Courier Journal reported that Espinosa, 29, was let go by GardaWorld within five days of his disappearance.
Espinosa had been missing since Dec. 5, when he disappeared along with cash from the truck that was parked at Jefferson Mall, a shopping center in southern Louisville.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for Espinosa on Dec. 10 by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky after Espinosa was charged with theft from interstate shipment, according to the FBI.
A joint investigation between Louisville police and the FBI determined Espinosa took steps "to plan out this theft," Kaufling said.
Kaufling declined to say how much was taken from the truck, but James Grimes, the owner of the Radcliff-based Gun School, which provides training for armed guards, told the Courier Journal he was told that it was $850,000.
Kaufling said investigators have several theories about how Espinosa made his getaway but wouldn't comment on them. Investigators are still working to determine if Espinosa acted alone, Kaufling added.
The only previous blemishes on his record were speeding tickets. Family members declined to comment and referred questions to the police, and Kaufling said they were cooperating with the investigation.
The FBI said Espinosa has ties to Louisville and New Britain, Connecticut. Kaufling told the Courier Journal that Espinosa also has family members in Texas as well as in Lakeland, Florida, and Bell Gardens, California.
GardaWorld, a Montreal-based private security services firm, told a city licensing agency in a Dec. 10 email that Espinosa was no longer an employee.
Branch manager Lu Lopez, who wrote the email, declined to tell the Courier Journal why Espinosa was let go or whether that shows the company concluded he was responsible for the theft.
Isabelle Panelli, a spokeswoman for GardaWorld, said the company doesn't comment on personnel matters.
GardaWorld declined to say how much Espinosa was paid or when he started, but according to the Indeed.com job website the average starting pay for Garda drivers is $12.46 an hour. City records show Espinosa was licensed as an armed guard in September.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 502-263-6000. You may also contact your local FBI office or nearest American embassy or consulate.
Espinosa is 5 feet, 10 inches and weighs about 230 pounds, officials said. He has a large scar on his right arm from his shoulder to his elbow, as well as a scar on one shoulder. He has black hair and brown eyes.

I can't even begin to tell you how refreshing it felt to dress professionally for the first time in awhile. There's just something great about knowing you look dressed for the part and it transcends into your attitude and mood. I felt GREAT wearing this outfit. I loved the colors, even though it was somewhat reminiscent of Halloween. But hey, it's October; who cares?
I LOVE adding blazers to outfits, especially with the sleeves rolled and/or pushed up. It makes an outfit professional and put-together without being too stuffy. And you can't go wrong with stripes and a bold color. If I had worn the top and blazer with black pants, I would've needed some sort of strong accessory, but it still would have been a classic look. I think it is also important to consider your function/venue when deciding on a bottom. Balancing a strong blazer with a cropped pant makes it less formal, making it appropriate for the more casual interview I went on last week (for LOFT! And I nailed it!). If I were going for a more professional interview, I'd go for black slacks. For an evening out, skinny jeans and booties or heels. For something bold, patterned pants.

Home Breaking News Oklahoma tornado kills at least one person in Tulsa
Oklahoma tornado kills at least one person in Tulsa
Several people were injured and at least one person killed after a tornado roared through Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Tulsa police said the death occurred inside a mobile home park near suburban Sand Springs on March 25. The park was nearly destroyed in the storm.
"It could have been much worse," Sheriff's Capt Billy McKinley said.
Photo Reuters
It was unclear whether the damage was caused by the tornado or just high winds. Billy McKinley said the exact number of people hurt was not known.
Tornadoes were seen elsewhere in Oklahoma, as well as in Arkansas, but no injuries were reported from those.
Until March 24, when a waterspout formed over an Arkansas lake, the US had not had a tornado in more than a month, marking a slow start to the season.
Typically more than 100 tornadoes are recorded in the US by this time each year, but as of last week only two dozen had been reported.

This spring the School of Molecular Biosciences said farewell to esteemed faculty members Drs. Nancy Magnuson and John Nilson.
Nancy Magnuson was one of the first to identify how the PIM-1 gene, a proto-oncogene, contributes to cancer development. Over nearly 30 years, she also worked with dozens of students, undergraduate and graduate, to help them achieve their academic and professional goals. Magnuson earned her doctorate from WSU in 1978 and joined the WSU faculty as a research assistant professor in 1981. She also served as the director of the NSF funded ADVANCE grant program that promotes the careers of women in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines in academia. In 2010, Magnuson was selected by her peers to give the WSU Distinguished Faculty Address, one of the University's highest honors, recognizing the achievements of one faculty member in research, scholarship, and teaching. The Dr. Nancy Magnuson Immunology Scholarship was established to support students pursuing a degree in immunology and to honor one of the college's most esteemed faculty members.
For more information on how you can support this scholarship, visit go.wsu.edu/MagnusonFund.
John Nilson joined WSU as Edward Meyer Distinguished Professor and director of the School of Molecular Biosciences in 2003. He served as director for a decade before stepping down in 2013 to focus on developing a new umbrella graduate pro-gram in the college titled Integrated Programs in Biomedical Science. This summer, he was named a fellow of the Consortium of West Regional Colleges of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Academy. Dr. Nilson, whose research has been funded continuously by the National Institutes for Health for over 34 years, has had a longstanding interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in temporal, spatial, and hormone-regulated expression of the genes in the pituitary that encode reproductive hormones. He has served as the editor-in-chief of Molecular Endocrinology and as president of the Society for the Study of Reproduction. He received the Beacon in Reproductive Research Award from the Frontiers in Reproduction Program and the Sidney H. Ingbar Distinguished Service Award from the Endocrine Society. Under his supervision, 14 students completed graduate degrees, and he has trained 19 postdoctoral scientists. Almost all have gone on to successful careers in academics or biotechnology companies. Dr. Nilson plans to retire to Taos, New Mexico.


Noel Whelan has insisted there is a "real problem" if Kalvin Phillips is not on the radar of England manager Gareth Southgate this summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Whelan claimed the central midfielder, 23, has been "outstanding" this season after thriving in the new midfield anchorman role handed to him by Marcelo Bielsa.
Phillips has not represented England at any level but has was named in the Championship team of the year last week along with teammate Liam Cooper.
"If he's not being looked at by Gareth Southgate, there's a real problem," Whelan said. "Phillips has been outstanding this season and he's really matured and progressed as a player.
"I've been so impressed with him in the deep midfield role. He's made it his own. It's a real specialist position and he plays it so well, with his passing, awareness, defending and ability to drop back between the two centre-backs and allow the full-backs to play high up the pitch.
Phillips has made 133 appearances for Leeds since graduating from the club's academy, with 122 of those coming in the Championship.
He emerged from the club's ranks at around the same time as Bournemouth's Lewis Cook, West Ham's Sam Byram and Barnsley's Alex Mowatt, all of whom were regarded in their late teens as more likely to make it at the top level.
In other Leeds United transfer news, Noel Whelan has exclusively told Football Insider his fears that these two Leeds players will QUIT.


For other uses of "scholarly repositories", see Disciplinary repository.
An institutional repository is an archive for collecting, preserving, and disseminating digital copies of the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution.
An institutional repository can be viewed as a "...a set of services that a university offers to members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members." For a university, this includes materials such as monographs, eprints of academic journal articles—both before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review—as well as electronic theses and dissertations. An institutional repository might also include other digital assets generated by academics, such as datasets, administrative documents, course notes, learning objects, or conference proceedings. Deposit of material in an institutional repository is sometimes mandated by that institution.
Some of the main objectives for having an institutional repository are to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving in an open access repository, to create global visibility for an institution's scholarly research, and to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ("grey") literature such as theses, working papers or technical reports.
Digital institutional repositories are document servers enabling researchers to archive their research output. Worldwide institutions are starting to implement digital institutional repositories for digital formats of research. Scholarly output can be born-digital, in which no digitalisation is necessary before the research is included in a digital repository. A digital institutional repository accessible through the Internet can improve the visibility, usage and impact of research conducted at an institution.
Institutional repositories are partly linked to the notion of digital interoperability, which is in turn linked to the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) and its Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The OAI in turn had its roots in the notion of a "Universal Preprint Service", since superseded by the open access movement.
Institutional repositories are partly linked to the notion of a digital library—i.e., collecting, housing, classifying, cataloguing, curating, preserving, and providing access to digital content—analogous with the library's conventional function of collecting, housing classifying, curating, preserving and providing access to analog content.
"... a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution."
Besides archiving research output institutional repositories can perform the functions such as knowledge management, research assessment and showcasing an institution's research output.
The content of an institutional repository depends on the focus of the institution. Higher education institutions conduct research across multiple disciplines, thus research from a variety of academic subjects. Examples of such digital institutional repositories include the MIT Institutional Repository. A disciplinary repository is subject specific. It holds and provides access to scholarly research in a particular discipline. While there can be disciplinary repositories for one institution, disciplinary repositories are frequently not tied to a specific institution. The PsyDok digital repository for example holds German language research in psychology. SSOAR is an international social science full text-server.
Institutional repositories that provide access to research to users outside the institutional community are one of the recommended ways to achieve the open access vision described in the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of open access. This is sometimes referred to as the self-archiving or "green" route to open access.
Repository 66 is a mashup that indicates the worldwide locations of open access digital repositories. It is based on data provided by ROAR and the OpenDOAR service developed by SHERPA.
An institutional repository has been understood as a means to ensure that the published work of scholars is available to the academic community even after increases in subscription fees or budget cuts within libraries. The majority of research scholars do not provide free access to their research output to their colleagues in an organization. Institutional repositories provide scholars with a common platform so that everyone in the institution can contribute scholarly material to promote cross-campus interdisciplinary research. The development of an institutional repository redefines the production and dissemination of scholarly material within an academic community. The contents available on the institute's website usually are removed after a few weeks. An institutional repository can provide a platform to manage institutional information, including web content. Institutional repositories have a number of benefits, including access to resources, visibility of research, and presentations of the contents.
The major institutional repository software platforms use a common open standard called OAI-PMH. This standard makes it not just possible to collect and move research output from one platform to another.
While a majority of the institutions run institutional repository software on local servers, among new adopters, there is a strong preference towards cloud-based services. A survey commissioned by Duraspace found that 72% of respondents indicated that their institutional repository is a hosted service. Institutions are choosing cloud-based solutions because such providers "enable institutions to easily get started with a hosted software service, with no need to provision local hardware, software, staff, or other infrastructure nor is there any specific technical skill or expertise required". Also important to the decision to go hosted may be the understanding that a hosted institutional repository solution "frees a library from both hardware and software support, allowing staff resources to be directed to other publishing service functions such as consulting and workflow design."
The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) states in its manifesto that "Each individual repository is of limited value for research: the real power of Open Access lies in the possibility of connecting and tying together repositories, which is why we need interoperability. In order to create a seamless layer of content through connected repositories from around the world, open access relies on interoperability, the ability for systems to communicate with each other and pass information back and forth in a usable format. Interoperability allows us to exploit today's computational power so that we can aggregate, data mine, create new tools and services, and generate new knowledge from repository content."
Interoperability is achieved in the world of institutional repositories using protocols to which repositories should conform, such as OAI-PMH. This allows search engines and open access aggregators, such as BASE and CORE, to index repository metadata and content and provide value-added services on top of this content.
The Digital Commons Network aggregates by discipline some 500 institutional repositories running on the Bepress Digital Commons platform. It includes more that two million full-text objects.

Ectoplasma, também chamado ectoplasto, ectossarco e exoplasma, é a parte periférica do citoplasma, formada pelo líquido citoplasmático, de consistência gelatinosa. É espessa e hialina e está limitada exteriormente pela membrana plasmática.

Parâmetro laboratorial

Cervicovaginal
Por coloração Papanicolau, o ectoplasma é um dos parâmetros para avaliação citológica das células do cervicovaginal quando observada uma distinção visual entre ectoplasma e endoplasma.

A mulher, no momento que passa pela puberdade ou na primeira gravidez, ocorre a eversão do epitélio escamoso endocervical, passando posteriormente para alteração metaplásica para formar novamente o epitélio escamoso. Assim, no momento da transição metaplásica é possível visualizar o ectoplasma em células metaplásicas escamosas tanto maturas quanto imaturas caracterizada por ser mais densa comparada com endoplasma a qual é pálida.

Por fim, é importante não confundir coilócito, específico da infecção por Papiloma Vírus Humano e que apresenta uma condensação periférica do citoplasma, com uma célula metaplásica imatura que apresenta ectoplasma e endoplasma.

Colestase
A colestase é produção anormal de bílis. Por meio da microscopia eletrônica é possível observar um aumento e agrupamento de microfilamentos em ectoplasma pericanalicular. Especulam-se que a presença abundante de microfilamentos seja uma consequência de desagregação destes da parede canalicular, mas necessita-se de estudos para ser melhor elucidado.

Ameba
Em ameba é possível observar o ectoplasma com característica granular por método parasitário de diagnóstico a fresco.

Fluorescência
Por meio da observação microscópica de fluorescência é possível distinguir a região ectoplamática da endoplasmática, por meio da observação da actina F presente no ectoplasma, a qual é a forma polimerizada da actina G, presente em endoplasma.

Judge Refuses to Reveal Info About FBI's Raid on Project Veritas
The First Amendment Itself Is At Stake Here
by Andrew West | Dec 8, 2021 | Media
You know that things are heading downhill fast for the Biden administration when the FBI is forced to raid the homes and offices connected to investigative journalists. FBI's Raid on Project Veritas
In this latest affront to the First Amendment, the Bureau took aim at Project Veritas – a provocative news outlet that just happens to lean to the right – and its founder, James O'Keefe, with both suffering raids of their homes after a story emerged regarding their potential possession of a "diary" that once belonged to one of the Biden children.
Now, in what appears to be an attempt to keep this whole debacle as quiet as possible, a federal judge is refusing to let materials related to the case be seen by the public.
A federal magistrate judge in Manhattan has turned down a bid by a journalism advocacy group to make public details about the legal basis for an FBI raid last month on the home of a conservative activist and hidden-camera video producer.
The FBI seized cellphones in the early-morning, Nov. 6 raid on the apartment of Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe in Mamaroneck., N.Y., as part of an investigation that appears to center on the alleged theft of a diary belonging to President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden.
The use of a search warrant to seize O'Keefe's records raised the hackles of some First Amendment advocates, who said O'Keefe's activities likely qualify for protection for members of the news media under federal law and Justice Department regulations. O'Keefe's critics say his deceptive tactics and evident partisan bias disqualify him from any claim to being a journalist.
The entire fiasco appears to be turning muddy in recent weeks.
In the 19-page ruling, the magistrate judge referred to O'Keefe as one of the "subjects" of the investigation. Federal prosecutors use that term to describe someone whose activities are being actively examined by the investigation but who is not currently seen as likely to be charged.
If Cave intended to use the term in that sense, it would raise further questions about the raid on O'Keefe's home, since prosecutors are not typically permitted to use search or seizure warrants to get unpublished media materials about crimes allegedly committed by others.
O'Keefe's attorney has said that the conservative provocateur bought the "rights" to publish the diary from two individuals who claimed to have obtained it legally. O'Keefe said the people who turned over the diary found it abandoned in a room where Ashley Biden had been staying.
Project Veritas' First Amendment rights are very much a central issue in this case, and allowing the US government to decide which journalists qualify for these protections is a slippery slope to authoritarianism.

Troops embarking at San Francisco
Shows troops of the First Regiment, California Volunteers, boarding the Pacific Mail steamer City of Peking to serve in the Philippine theater of the Spanish-American War. The film was shot at the Pacific Mail Steamship Company dock between 10:50am and 1:50pm on Friday, May 13, 1898. The dock was located at First Street between Brannan and Townsend streets. The camera is probably facing north.. The film begins with flag-waving relatives in the foreground [Frame: 0108]. The troops are seen climbing the gangplank with full travel kits and rifles [0787]. As the crowd watches the troops, at least one woman raises a handkerchief to her eyes [1059]. In the bright background between the ascending soldiers, troops are seen lining the ship's rails and a lifeboat is visible [1500]. Over a thousand troops boarded the City of Peking after marching across San Francisco from their bivouac at the Presidio army base. After loading, the steamer pulled out into San Francisco Bay and re-anchored, awaiting the loading of two more steamers, the Australia and the Sydney. The fleet departed for the Philippines on Sunday, May 15. Built in 1874, the City of Peking was a long-serving 5,070-ton steamer of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The ship made 116 round trips between San Francisco and Hong Kong before being scrapped in 1920.

The standard trapezoidal tooth timing belt design performs poorly in high torque applications and high power drives at lower speeds. To overcome this disadvantage the High Torque Belt (HTB) was developed usinga more efficient tooth profile.
Stock 5 mm, 8 mm and 14 mm pitch HTB timing belts are listed below. Non-standard lengths in these pitches are also available, as are belts with 3 mm pitch.
HTB timing belts are specified by belt pitch length, tooth profile, and tooth pitch code and belt width in millimeters.
Many sizes are in stock. Other 3 mm Pitch HTB Belts are available on a made to order basis.
Dual HTB belts are often used in reversing or serpentine applications.
Special aramid reinforced compounds, along with improved tooth facing and tensile members provide the muscle for the increased horsepower ratings; up to three times that of standard HTB® belts.
Laboratory and customer tested tough!
Tiger Belts® may also be ordered in the standard 8mm pitch HTB® widths of 20 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm and 85 mm, as well as in standard 14 mm pitch HTB® widths of 40 mm, 55 mm, 85 mm, 115 mm and 170 mm.
HTB® drives utilizing TigerBelts® as direct replacements for original HTB® belts will see greatly improved belt life.
Stock timing belts are listed below. They have fiberglass tension members, neoprene body with nylon covered teeth, all bonded together for maximum strength.
For non-stock widths, specified widths can be cut from our large supply of timing belt sleeves on special order.
Mini-pitch MXL (0.080-inch pitch) timing belts are also available.
Double sided belts afford power transmission from either side of the belt and are often used in reversing and serpentine applications.
They are specified the same way as timing belts except with a "D" prefix. For example: D240H100. Special widths are cut to order from our sleeve stock for fast delivery.
Double sided timing belts are produced using the same materials as single sided belts, except that the backside is ground from a fiber reinforced special rubber compound. There is no nylon facing on the backside. Power take off on the backside is limited to 50% of the total catalog rating.
Total belt rating is the same as for single sided belts.
Specially suitable for linear drives, accurate positioning, metering and reversing applications. High load capacity, no maintenance cost and very low noise level make these belts a perfect alternative to chain or cable reverse drives.

Moreover, we achieved strong performance in our Martinsburg Plant, which is operating with stronger, more efficient output given the resolution of the issues that hampered sales in recent quarters.
"Our efforts in the Higher Education vertical have driven growth through additional digester orders at prominent universities across the East Coast as they seek to accomplish sweeping sustainability goals including increasing landfill diversion and reducing their carbon footprint. We have also worked with these institutions to provide groundbreaking research and educational opportunities for students to gain a unique perspective on the impact of our solutions on myriad climate impacting factors, waste management and new technologies to achieve sustainability goals.
"Our team is also expanding pilot efforts exploring the benefits that large supermarket chains may gain from employing our Digesters, enabling efficiencies, and mitigating waste at its source throughout their operations.
"We are also currently evaluating numerous complementary strategic alliances or acquisition candidates that are part of our ongoing efforts to identify potentially accretive opportunities. We anticipate our growth will continue to come from organic sales of our technology solutions, sales of Solid Recovered Fuel, as well as potential acquisitions that support our mission as a company and a responsible corporate citizen," concluded Mr. Fuller.
Financial Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 2021
The Company continued its revenue growth in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, with total revenues of $4.5 million, increasing 31% over the second quarter of 2021 and 509% over the year-ago period. Third quarter revenues marked the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue, driven by continued strong sales into Carnival Cruise Lines with its Digesters.
The overall contribution (revenues, less direct costs) increased to 23% of revenue in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 14% in the prior quarter and negative 69% in the year-ago period. The improvement in contribution margins versus the prior quarter was driven primarily by equipment margins increasing to 33%, up from 31% and to a lesser extent, rental service and maintenance, which increased to 42%, up from 34%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined to $1.7 million in the third quarter, down from $2.0 million in the prior quarter and $1.9 million in the year-ago period. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 38% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 58% in the prior quarter and 259% in the year-ago period. The decline in SG&A was the result of increasing sales and cost reductions in SG&A.
The loss from operations improved to $1.1 million, down from $2.0 million in the prior quarter and $3.9 million in the year-ago period. As a percentage of revenue, the operating loss improved to negative 25% versus negative 59% in the prior quarter and negative 527% in the year-ago period. The improvement in the operating loss was driven by higher gross margins and operating leverage.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $1.1 million, had a consolidated net loss of $1.8 million and a net loss attributable to parent of $1.2 million.
At September 30, 2021, restricted cash was $6.4 million and unrestricted cash was $600,000.

Rail 829: Is any price acceptable for HS2?
Rail Magazine / June 19, 2017 August 4, 2017
Everything has its price. Even those who think HS2 is a good idea must consider there is a point at which its cost makes the project unsustainable. Or do they?
I only ask because Lord Berkeley, the chairman of the Railfreight Group and a long time supporter of the railways has, for some time, being trying to find out the latest estimate of the cost of the line. He is by no means an opponent of the scheme – quite the opposite – though he has questioned the nature of the proposals for Euston which, in their latest incarnation, seem to require a 20 year period of work in the area, something that is clearly unacceptable for local residents as well as being inordinately costly. He has been pressing, in various meetings with HS2 and Department for Transport officials, to obtain an estimate of the cost of the scheme. The last official estimate published 18 months ago was that the first phase to Birmingham would cost £23.5 billion (now £24.3billion to take account of inflation since then) and there has been no release of any more detailed costings since then.
I have been spurred on to write about this project, having left the subject alone for a long time, because the noises from HS2 supporters seem to be becoming louder as well as increasingly incoherent. Indeed, according to a rival magazine, I am the Lord Haw Haw of transport economics for merely questioning the value of the HS2 project. That is what Ian Walmsley, a former engineering project manager for Porterbrook, the rolling stock leasing company, called me in an article suggesting that I was a hypocrite for opposing HS2 while claiming to support the railway industry. William Joyce, the real Lord Haw Haw (who was not a lord) was a Nazi sympathiser who blatantly lied about the conduct and progress of the war in broadcasts to the UK and was eventually hanged for treason. I think, therefore, the comparison may be just a tad over the top but I leave that to Walmsley's conscience.
However, this use of intemperate language rather than reasoned debate is quite characteristic of some of HS2's supporters. Perhaps subconsciously his ludicrous comparison with Lord Haw Haw betrays the fact that, like many of the more Messianic HS2 supporters, he considers it is a matter of treason to question the arguments for the project. It is, according to Believers like Walmsley, wrong even to doubt any aspects of the project or highlight its potential pitfalls
I am, however, not a man of faith, but one of science. As Berkeley and numerous other experienced railway people – including many in Railfuture of which I am honorary president – argue, there are legitimate questions to ask about the project whether one supports the scheme or not. The most basic, of course, is the cost.
Berkeley, in pressing for a better solution to the Euston terminus than the current 20 year nightmare, managed to obtain the current estimate which £8.25bn for the station and the first six miles of line to Old Oak Common. As Berkeley pointed out in a debate in the Lords in January, that leaves just some £16bn for the remaining 200 kilometres. That is highly improbable. As Berkeley puts it, 'having spent £1bn on consultancy, it is remarkable that HS2 still don't have a price for the line.'
Lord Bradshaw, who could hardly be likened to Lord Haw Haw, as he is a long time and very knowledgeable supporter of the railway also argued that 'The scheme as envisaged is extravagant, and this is not a time when we can afford extravagance. There is a good case for having an independent assessment of the costs.'
The reluctance of HS2 Ltd to produce an estimate is, of course, deliberate. If a new estimate were produced, the whole business case would have to be revisited. So the good lord enlisted the help of Michael Byng, who has written a manual on how to price projects which has been accepted by Network Rail as the best available. He has made detailed calculations, which I have seen, and initially came up with the figures of £53.6m for the whole scheme up to the West Midlands (known officially as Phase One). This is approximately the supposed cost of the whole Y but Byng, trying to be fair and professional has, after further conversations with HS2, reduced his estimate to £48bn, still double the current official cost.
One of the reasons for Byng's higher cost is the need for slab track which, he says, is likely to be required for much of the route, something which an HS2 adviser 'let slip' to him. Byng, who has given evidence on HS2 to the Commons Transport Committee, told me that 'a very senior and distinguished quantity surveyor, a partner in one the world's largest practices, admitted in a meeting last year with the Camden petitioner, at which I was present, "that HS2 had no comprehensive structured estimate for the project"'. That certainly rings true. Even now, Byng says that none of his estimates have been questioned by HS2 Ltd, nor has it provided any further evidence that its costs could fit in with the government's current budget.
Byng would like to see a delay to the scheme while the costs are properly estimated. Of course, his estimate drives a cart and horse through the business case which has always been tenuous anyway. Essentially the benefit to cost ratio for the scheme, using the admittedly flawed methodology that the government insists on, is 1.7 to 1, which is not very impressive for such a huge project. If Byng's estimate is correct, the figure would go below 1 to 1, which raises fundamental questions about the plan.
If any supporters are naive enough to think that HS2 is a done deal, think again, especially given the DUP deal which is sucking £1bn out of other departments' budgets and the coalition arrangement have meant the effective scrapping of the austerity programme which will mean more spending on housing, welfare, education and care of the elderly.
The question I would like to pose to supporters of the scheme: if this is a true estimate, and the cost of the whole project is likely to be around £100bn, would it still be worthwhile? Byng of course may be wrong and too pessimistic, but that is not the point. As I asked at the beginning, is there a stage at which the whole idea just becomes unviable and unrealistic? When the expected cost is £70bn? £90bn? £100bn – or precisely when?
Alas poor Breich
One of the odd consequences of privatisation of the railway is that it has become almost impossible to close any lines or stations. That is partly, of course, because use of the railways has boomed in the past two decades and therefore there are probably few parts of the network that are candidates for the chop.
However bravely, Network Rail in Scotland has found one. This is Breich station on the Shotts line between Edinburgh and Glasgow about whose closure it is now consulting. The station is not best used. According to the statistics produced by the Office of Road and Rail, it had 138 users in the past year (up from 102 the previous year), which fortuitously equated to 69 entries and 69 exits suggesting it may be the same person coming and going! That is 2.6 users per week for the single eastbound and westbound services that call every weekday. In other words, only around one in four of these services are used by anyone getting on or off.
These passengers – or passenger – are subsidised to the tune of £95 per journey because of the costs incurred by the operators stopping at the station and the need for its maintenance. Moreover, the planned electrification of the line will be more expensive because of extra safety requirements at stations, incurring additional costs of some £1.6m
Now perhaps this is an example of Beeching style economics which does not take account of the station's value to the local community. However, I doubt it. The station is a little way from the village which is on a main road and consists mainly of a single row of houses, though there is a pub and a snack bar. There is no parking and pictures of the station suggest waiting for the train would not be an entirely pleasant experience.
The mystery remains why this closure has not been thought of previously. There must, too, be numerous other candidates for consideration but the problem may well be the complex process required. The closure seems only to have been stimulated by the need to save money on the forthcoming electrification. In order to bring it about, Network Rail has had to produce a 20 page consultation document and a 32 page consultation document, as well as various other bits and pieces. No wonder why such closure plans are as almost as rare as England victories at the World Cup. Imagine if Beeching would have had to do that for every one of the 2,500 stations and 6,000 miles of line he closed.

TO THE VICTORIA & GEORGE CROSS
NZC 1869
Dickin Medal
b. 1826 Bow, London. d. 01/08/1859 Marylebone, London.
James Reynolds Roberts (1826-1859) was born in 1826 in Bow, London. He enlisted with the 9th Lancers and had enlisted before the outbreak of the Mutiny in 1857. On 28th September 1857, he became heavily involved in the Battle of Bulandshahr.
During the Battle, he was part of the group that followed Captain Augustus Anson VC through the streets. Despite being wounded in his bridle hand, Roberts rose to the rescue of Farrier Stillman, who had been shot off his horse. Immediately the two soldiers were surrounded by sepoys, but Roberts managed to hold them off until help arrived. Unfortunately, Stillman died of his injuries but his rescuer was recommended for the Victoria Cross, which was gazetted on Christmas Eve, 1858.
Sadly, Roberts was not to live long enough to receive his VC in person. After returning to England following the Mutiny, he fell ill and died in Middlesex Hospital, Marylebone, London on 1st August 1859. His VC was posted to his next of kin, his brother on 21st September 1859. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Paddington Old Cemetery. His medals are now held in the 9th/12th Lancers Regimental Museum in Derby Museum and Art Gallery.

Tim Hudak's 1 million jobs plan is a tough sell with voters, poll suggests
By: Robert Benzie Queen's Park Bureau Chief, Richard J. Brennan Provincial Politics, Rob Ferguson Queen's Park Bureau, Published on Wed May 14 2014
Nearly two-thirds of Ontarians disapprove of Tim Hudak's plan to cut 100,000 public servants to streamline government, a new poll suggests.
The Forum Research survey also found 63 per cent do not think the Progressive Conservative leader will be able to create his promised 1 million new jobs, while 26 per cent feel he can deliver and 11 per cent don't know.
Similarly, 26 per cent approve of cutting 100,000 public-sector workers — such as teachers and bureaucrats — while 62 per cent do not and 11 per cent aren't sure.
"The number is just shocking people. One hundred thousand is a lot," Forum president Lorne Bozinoff said Tuesday.
"They may be too far out there," Bozinoff said of the Conservatives' controversial platform pledge to reduce the broader public sector over four years to spur the creation of what the PCs calculate will be 1,030,688 private-sector jobs by 2022.
Indeed, Hudak's restraint proposal has taken a toll on the party's popularity as the June 12 election campaign heats up.
Kathleen Wynne's governing Liberals now lead with 38 per cent support to 35 per cent for the Conservatives, 21 per cent for Andrea Horwath's New Democrats, and 5 per cent for Mike Schreiner's Greens.
In the May 2 Forum poll, the Tories were at 38 per cent, the Liberals 33 per cent, the NDP 22 per cent, and the Greens at 6 per cent.
Using interactive voice-response phone calls, Forum surveyed 996 people across Ontario on Monday and results are considered accurate to within three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Extrapolating the polling results suggests the Liberals would secure 68 seats in the 107-member legislature, the Conservatives 26, and the NDP 13, said Bozinoff.
"It's not a huge change in the standings, but it makes a major difference in the seats," the pollster said of the movement since last week. He noted the Liberals tend to win urban seats by narrow margins while the Tories pile up huge pluralities in rural ridings.
At dissolution, there were 48 Liberal MPPs, including Speaker Dave Levac, 37 Tories, 21 New Democrats, and one vacancy.
In terms of personal approval, Wynne was at 38 per cent (up from 34 per cent on May 2), Horwath was at 35 per cent (36 per cent in the previous poll), and Hudak was 23 per cent (down from 26 per cent).
Hudak told the Star he is not surprised his popularity has taken a hit over his "bold" plan to rein in government spending to eliminate the deficit by 2016-17 — one year ahead of Wynne's target for balancing the books.
"Listen, this is why I engaged in straight talk early on," he said, conceding the cutting will be "a tough slog . . . that has to be done."
A senior Liberal strategist said Hudak's austerity proposal is "definitely resonating in a negative way."
"People don't understand starting a 'million jobs plan' with 100,000 cuts," the Grit said on background.
"It's a much clearer choice than voters often get."
Wynne said Hudak's scheme, which also includes corporate tax cuts, is a "backwards step" that has landed with a thud, allowing her to focus on a "stark" contrast facing voters.
"If you think it's right to give billions more to already profitable corporations while putting 100,000 of our friends and neighbours out of work, then vote for Tim Hudak," she said in Toronto.
Horwath insisted her campaign "is doing well" despite her main rivals receiving the lion's share of media attention.
The NDP chief said she is the only leader putting forward solutions to the problems faced by ordinary Ontarians.
"We are going to continue over the next little while to lay out a number of priorities," she said Tuesday in Toronto. "People will have a choice on June 12 in terms of what kind of Ontario they want."
Forum's poll is statistically weighted by age, region, and other variables to ensure the sample reflects the actual population according to the latest census data. The weighting formula has been shared with the Star and raw polling results are housed at the University of Toronto's political science department's data library.
