In the next tutorial about Wind Turbine Generators we will look at DC machines and how we can use a DC Generator to produce electricity from the power of the wind.

The trouble with rated power is that it does not tell you anything about energy production. Your utility company charges you for the energy you consume, not power. Likewise, for a small wind turbine you should be interested in the energy it will produce, for your particular site, with your particular annual average wind speed. Rated power of the turbine does not do that. To find out about energy production take a look at the tables presented earlier.
Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells. It is most often used in remote locations, although it is becoming more popular in urban areas as well. This page contains articles that explore advances in solar energy technology.
Previously, the largest U.S. city fully powered by renewables was Burlington, Vermont (pop. 42,000), home to Senator Bernie Sanders, the jam band Phish and the original Ben & Jerry's. Georgetown's feat is all the more dramatic because it demolishes the notion that sustainability is synonymous with socialism and GMO-free ice cream. "You think of climate change and renewable energy, from a political standpoint, on the left-hand side of the spectrum, and what I've done is toss all those partisan political thoughts aside," Ross says. "We're doing this because it's good for our citizens. Cheaper electricity is better. Clean energy is better than fossil fuels."
There is no energy in the wind at those wind speeds, nothing to harvest for the turbine. While it may make you feel good to see your expensive yard toy spin, it is not doing anything meaningful in a breeze like that: To give you some idea, a wind turbine with a diameter of 6 meters (pretty large as small wind turbines go) can realistically produce just 120 Watt at 3.5 m/s wind speed. That same turbine would be rated at 6 kW (or more, see the next section), so energy production at cut-in really is just a drop in the bucket. What is more, due to the way grid-tie inverters work, you are about as likely to be loosing energy around cut-in wind speed to keep the inverter powered, as you are in making any energy, resulting in a net-loss of electricity production.

Single small turbines below 100 kilowatts are used for homes, telecommunications dishes, or water pumping. Small turbines are sometimes used in connection with diesel generators, batteries, and photovoltaic systems. These systems are called hybrid wind systems and are typically used in remote, off-grid locations where a connection to the utility grid is not available.

If you regularly find your lawn furniture blown over, or have to collect it from the neighbour's yard, your house needs to be repainted every year or two because it constantly gets sand-blasted, and where the trees have funny shapes (and not because your power company has been doing the pruning), that is when you know you live in a windy place where a wind turbine is likely to make economic sense.
Wind power is widely used in Europe, China, and the United States. From 2004 to 2014, worldwide installed capacity of wind power has been growing from 47 GW to 369 GW—a more than sevenfold increase within 10 years with 2014 breaking a new record in global installations (51 GW). As of the end of 2014, China, the United States and Germany combined accounted for half of total global capacity.[83] Several other countries have achieved relatively high levels of wind power penetration, such as 21% of stationary electricity production in Denmark, 18% in Portugal, 16% in Spain, and 14% in Ireland in 2010 and have since continued to expand their installed capacity.[105][106] More than 80 countries around the world are using wind power on a commercial basis.[76]
Green-e is a voluntary certification program for renewable electricity products. The Green-e program establishes consumer protection and environmental standards for electricity products, and verifies that these products meet the standards. The Green-e logo certifies that at least half the power supplied is from renewable sources. Many products will carry the Green-e logo, and the best way to find the most environmentally sensitive providers is by doing some comparison research. To find out which Green-e certified products are available in your state, visit Green-e's electric choices page. Questions about particular providers can be directed to the Center for Resources Solutions, which administers the Green-e program, at (415) 561-2100.

A new player, Lime, has entered the market and their bikes are popping up around the city.
But they're a little different to the old bikes we're used to.

He says they're "working with seven councils" to organise "designated bike sharing" areas.


It's a show that centers on the subjects of grief, prescription and illegal drug use, misguided psychiatry ethics, suicide and family survival in a suburban climate. It's also a musical. Sounds like fun? It is if it is done right and, fortunately, Porthouse Theatre nails it. Next to Normal is the Pulitzer and Tony Award winning musical with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt that dares to bare the underbelly of psychological breakdown and the effects it has on families as it unfolds over the years.
Diana (Amy Fritsche) is your typical suburban housewife who lives in a well-appointed house with her husband Dan (Thom Christopher Warren), son Gabe (Madison Adams Hagler), and daughter Natalie (Madelaine Vandenberg). Diana is normal in every respect except for one. Her state of mind manifests itself in a variety of forms of abnormal behavior, such as insomnia and public meltdowns. When her family finds her making sandwiches that cover most of the kitchen floor, a trip to her doctor is necessary.
Her psychiatrist Dr. Madden (Jim Bray) treats Diana with a smorgasbord of anti-psychotic medications to correct her "chemical imbalance." The side effects have her admitting that she can't feel anything, to which the doctor declares that she is "stable." This feeling of detachment eventually forces Diana to toss all of the pills into the toilet, with Gabe's blessing.
In the meantime, daughter Natalie is an over-achiever who excels in everything at school (including music) but fails in everything at home, which makes her feel invisible in the shadow of her "super boy" brother. At school she meets Henry (Andy Donnelly), a well-meaning and gentle pot head who attempts to introduce Natalie to the concept of friendship and, later, love.
Drug-free Diana begins seeing Dr. Fine (also played by Jim Bray), who suggests hypnosis, but the results are not what the doctor anticipates. In a near last ditch effort, a series of ECTs (electroconvulsive therapy, or shock treatments) are ordered.
With no supervision at home due to Diana's hospitalization, Natalie begins taking a mixture of her mother's remaining collection of drugs while hitting the local club scene as Henry rescues her time and time again. Henry invites Natalie to the spring formal dance but she refuses due to her lack of self esteem. Following ECT treatments Diana returns home not knowing who she is, where she is, and who her family is.
The show features more than 35 musical numbers and reprises that tell the story in a nearly rock opera format. All of the actors are in fine voice as not only an ensemble but in their duets and solo works as well. Amy Fritsche anchors the show as Diana, giving an extremely convincing performance of an innocent who has fallen down the rabbit hole of experimental treatments. Thom Christopher Warren as Dan is the perfect helpmate who struggles with alcoholism as he drinks to cope with her symptoms.
Madelaine Vandenberg is perfectly cast as Natalie, whose greatest fear is ending up like her mother and is beginning to show some of the symptoms in her imitating behavior. Madison Adams Hagler is great as Gabe, playing the role with sinister intent, adding to the creepiness factor. Andy Donnelly is wonderful as Henry, is the pot smoking wastrel looking for a reason to fill his time. Jim Bray does double duty as the pill-dispensing Dr. Madden and the holistic-minded Dr. Fine.
This production is expertly directed by Jim Weaver, who keeps the action and music flowing in what would otherwise be a long sit. The set design by Patrick Ulrich is simple yet functional with a roll-out dining table and chairs, a set of contemporary chairs, and a two-tier stair setup that doubles as Natalie's performance space. The lighting design by T. C. Kouyeas, Jr. serves its purpose of setting the various moods, and Tyler Forbes' sound design is crystal clear.
Looking at a scant description of the show might make some think twice about attending, but that would be a mistake. The music (with a superb six-piece orchestra) and the excellent cast make this must-see theater. Kudos go to Porthouse for the courage to stage this extraordinary musical that addresses the subject of modern mental health and its various treatments and mistreatments.

EDGEWATER — Edgewater Hospital, a neighborhood "eyesore" for years, would be home to housing, retail, parking and a badly needed park under a proposal now headed to the city for approval, officials said.
The plan — assembled by Waveland Partners, which manages the bankrupt estate that owns the hospital — calls for a 12-story structure with 214 units facing Ashland Avenue; land donated for a park; and a row of single-family homes along Edgewater Avenue, Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th) at a public meeting held Wednesday night.
The main structure would include street-level retail and two stories of parking, he said.
But O'Connor said construction on the "eyesore" is still "several years away." The planned development proposal has to make its way through two city commissions and the City Council before an investor would consider paying for the development, he said.
Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th) addressed neighbors about a planned development proposal unveiled at a community meeting Wednesday night.
"We just want to get this right," he said.
The site has sat vacant at 5700 N. Ashland Ave. since 2001 after the owners went bankrupt and were eventually indicted for allegedly not paying a court-ordered judgment of $188 million to creditors.
Residents in the area claim the empty buildings on the former hospital campus are not only a blight on the neighborhood, but also a safety hazard.
In March 2011, two children were hurt on the roof of the hospital after a transformer exploded.
Since 2009, O'Connor has hosted meetings with Waveland Partners and the community to review development plans.
Previous proposals were a long way off from gaining community support, including suggestions for a 14-story, 500-unit structure in 2010.
O'Connor said the development group had finally gotten to a proposal that "we can work with.
"It's been empty and it's been deteriorating for a number of years," he told dozens of community members crammed into the cafeteria at St. Gregory's High School. "We need to move this forward."
One of the biggest victories for the community was successfully advocating for any proposal to include space for a park.
Chris Swan, one of the founders of Friends of West Edgewater Park, and other community members had originally demanded that the entire property be converted into a park early on in the process.
"There's not a place to get together and just be," he said at the Wednesday meeting. "Our community is just dying for a place to be."
But the proposal to turn about a third of the site into a park was satisfactory to Swan. The Chicago Park District has agreed to take the title of that portion of the land, O'Connor said.
"I'm actually pretty excited about this," Swan said. "This is a net positive for the community."
During the meeting, a community member asked the alderman about whether retailers had shown interest for the plan's nearly 14,000 feet of retail space.
It was still too early to begin courting retailers, he said, but "I'm not holding my breathe for a Trader Joes."

A NEW DAY, A NEW WAY
Why it matters to you: It's time for restaurants to lead in caring for our environment…and it's good for business.
Now, more than ever, issues surrounding our stewardship of the environment are front and center for guests. They are not only voting on it politically, but are also doing so with their wallets. While the former may have policy implications, the latter is far more important to us as restaurant operators. Let's take recent moves from both sides of the spectrum to fully appreciate why it's time for you to assess your own operations impact on our environment before someone else does it for you.
Dunkin' Brands operates over 11k restaurants worldwide and has been one the biggest purveyors of styrofoam refuse in the world. However, they recognized this was unsustainable and are now rolling out a new paper cup with a recyclable lid. They claim their focus in development was on function and acceptance by consumers. This is a lesson McDonald's learned the hard way with their recent paper straw debacle. A brand as large as Dunkin' knowing they have to act is perfect proof that the convergence of policy and practice don't have to be in conflict.
But good corporate citizenship isn't the only method available to some operators to promote care for the environment. California is now allowing operators to add a 1% surcharge to their pricing to fund an effort to support farmers in reducing their carbon emissions. While the policy opens the door, it's up to you do walk through it. The big picture is that you can tout your own efforts at protecting our environment and prove to your community you are in the fight with them. It's a good strategy and totally confirmed by the efforts of companies like Dunkin' and even McDonald's to move the needle.
[Sources: CBS4 Boston & FOX6 LA]
YOU DON'T KNOW IoT
Why it matters to you: The internet of things (IoT) is finding places in our industry in spite of our resistance to technology.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those concepts that, until recently, was only discussed in computer science departments at major research universities. Succinctly described by Wikipedia, IoT is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects. Think about your car sending diagnostic information to the manufacturer to ensure it's running correctly and then notifying you if it's not. If you use your imagination, you can likely divine a variety of ways that would be helpful in the restaurant industry. Well, it turns out you don't have to because manufacturers are now including integrated design that embeds IoT capabilities into their equipment.
How many times have you been surprised by a cooler going down on a Saturday? With an IoT integration, not only does the cooler report its temperature regularly, it also uses machine learning to anticipate the patterns in temperature change that point to an imminent failure. Thus, the device data is then used to notify you that an issue exists before it ruins thousands of dollars in food by its failure.
This technology isn't limited to equipment management/maintenance, but that category is an obvious place to enjoy its benefits today. There will be others and it's up to you to open up to their possibilities in improving your operation.

A year later the Socialist Party of America declared 28 February 1909 as the first National Woman's day, in honour of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York.
In 1910 the Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, proposed an International Women's Day to honour the movement for women's rights and to build support for achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries.
In 1911 the International Women's Day was observed for the first time on 19 March in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded women's rights to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.
The International Women's day got formalised in 1917 when Russian women went on strike demanding "Bread and Peace" on the last Sunday in February (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar). Four days later, the Czar abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.
In June 1921, the Second International Conference of Women, held in Moscow and chaired by Clara Zetkin, changed the date of International Women's Day to March 8. Since then, March 8 is celebrated all over the world by women and men as a day to honour the fight against all kinds of exploitation, oppression, injustice and inequality.

Albany NY's Patricia Peterson and Corvallis OR's John Altendorf set world records in the W85 400 meters and M65 pole vault, respectively. Peterson already set American records in both the 100 meters and 200 meters earlier in the meet and blazed a world record time of 2:07.79 in the 400 meters. Altendorf soared to a new world record of 3.84m/12-7.25 in the vault.
Charles Ross took up running at the age of 70 after attending his 50th-year high school reunion — seeing how most of his counterparts were declining in both health and endurance as they approached their final stretch. He is now 88-years-old and a U.S. Track and Field champion.
Retired accountant Frank Tilton didn't know he had a hidden talent until he began to experiment with track & field's jumping events at age 60. Five years later, Tilton is recording sizable leaps. The Springfield, Missouri resident competed in all three jump events at the World Masters Games.
And in case you were wondering, the U.S. dominates the sprints at pretty much any age…

Kaplan holds a chair at the University of Illinois School of Law and is a leading expert on taxation. Kaplan's books include Advanced Taxation and Elder Law.
He said today: "A leading principle of these tax 'reform' bills — both the House and Senate versions — is clearly to reward donors to the Republican party. It lessens taxes on businesses, especially capital intensive rather than labor intensive business.
"The corporate income tax cut from 35 to 20 percent is steep, but through a series of mechanisms — some call them loopholes — corporations are now paying about 19 percent. Those leakages are mostly staying in place, so the effective rate after this act will be much lower.
"Significantly — and this is too rarely discussed — this keeps in place the system of taxing capital gains at substantially lower rate than labor. Warren Buffett and Mitt Romney get taxed at a lower rate on their investments than people do for their actual work. This legislation is effectively doubling down on a war on work.
"The one major innovation is creating a new tax-favored category of income called 'pass-through' income received from partnerships and personal businesses. This change will set up very serious compliance challenges for the IRS to demarcate wage-like income from profits received as business-owners.
"The cuts to the estate and gift taxes are huge, as is the complete write-off for depreciation.
"In contrast, people who work for a living are not seeing much benefit, in some cases, they may see increases, especially because of the end of state and local taxes write-offs.
"Medicare and Medicaid could get cut down the line as a result of this proposed law because of the resulting federal deficits and might trigger existing provisions that require reductions of Medicare's expenditures.

Jeff Lorber Scores Grammy Nomination for Newest CD Prototype
By ExoticDJ
"I couldn't be more thrilled to be nominated. It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers and I'm really looking
forward to attending the 60th Grammy Awards in New York. I'd really like to thank Jimmy (Haslip), Andy (Snitzer),
Gary (Novak) and everybody else who took part in the production of the album." – JEFF LORBER

Trailblazing pianist, composer, producer and bandleader Jeff Lorber is a consummate artist who continues to push himself to new plateaus. A groundbreaking Fender Rhodes pioneer along with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample and Bob James, Lorber has triumphed as one of the most innovative musical minds in contemporary jazz. Lorber's newest CD Prototype, is a sterling example of his expansive musical roots, masterfully crafted harmonic and melodic sophistication, irresistible finger-poppin' grooves and intricate rhythmic sense. "I came up with the name Prototype because we are always trying to up our game and come up with new exciting music that could be a prototype or innovative harbinger for the future of our musical style," says the LA based pianist. Lorber, a Berklee College of Music alum who formerly majored in Chemistry at Boston College, goes full throttle on Prototype, orchestrating like an alchemist in the lab and concocting a majestic elixir of jazz, soul, funk, pop, R&B and gospel.
Prototype features longtime collaborators – bassist Jimmy Haslip (founding member of The Yellowjackets) and drummer Gary Novak. "From a production standpoint Jimmy adds a 'big picture' element. He contributes a lot with his warm bass sound and on the road he is without a doubt one of the finest soloists out there on his instrument." Lorber adds, "Gary's very versatile, imaginative, super solid and gets a great sound. He really shines playing over the funky polyrhythmic grooves we record." The newest member to the all-star unit is saxophonist Andy Snitzer, who like Lorber (and the Brecker Brothers) hails from Cheltenham, PA. Lorber states, "Andy's got a perfect approach. It's soulful and melodic and he is not afraid of taking the music outside a bit." Prototype also features special guests bassist Nathan East, guitarists Chuck Loeb, Larry Koonse and Paul Jackson, Jr. and saxophonist Dave Mann, among others.
In case you forgot, here is the title track:

"I was listening to Miles Davis and Bitches Brew and the beginning of great fusion bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report and Return to Forever," reflects Lorber. "There were also artists like Herbie Hancock, The Crusaders and Grover Washington, who pioneered a more melodic and funky type of sound. Not to mention the fantastic music being made in R&B and pop music like Earth Wind and Fire and Tower of Power." Lorber envisioned Jeff Lorber Fusion a second generation to these fusion bands that were more R&B and melody oriented. A true clinician, Lorber has made it a point to study the long line of modern jazz pianists since 1945. "Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea have been major influences but I had to go back and try to figure out who they
listened to and were inspired by," says Lorber. "Some of these icons that come to mind are Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner and Bud Powell." He adds, "I also can't forget all of the pianists who played with Miles Davis such as Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Tommy Flanagan and Horace Silver." Growing up in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania offered great inspiration for Jeff Lorber. "There were a lot of home grown record labels like Cameo Parkway and Philadelphia International (Gamble and Huff) not to mention tons of home grown talent. And the Dick Clark show originally came from there."
In 1977 Jeff Lorber Fusion released their self-titled debut. Their 1980 album Wizard Island made the introduction of a then little known Kenny G. The ensemble quickly gained traction and became one of the most popular jazz acts, touring nonstop. In 1982 Lorber made his solo debut with It's A Fact. He first Grammy nomination in 1986 for his radio hit "Pacific Coast Highway" from his album Step By Step. In the 90s Lorber released a successful string of projects including West Side Stories(1994), State of Grace (1996) and Midnight (1998). During this time Lorber also stayed busy producing for the likes of Michael Franks, Richard Elliot, Gerald Albright and Rick Braun, among others. The prolific pianist continued to add to his accolades with his shining recordings Kickin' It (2001), Philly Style (2003), Flipside (2005), He Had A Hat (2007, Grammy nominated) and Heard That (2008), Now Is The Time (2010, Grammy nominated), Galaxy (2012, Grammy nominated)Hacienda (2013, Grammy nominated) and Step It Up (2015). Lorber made his first recordings for Shanchie as a member of Jazz Funk Soul with Chuck Loeb and Everette Harp on the albums Jazz Funk Soul and the Grammy nominated More Serious Business.
Jeff Lorber has endured his own battle with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and has made it a mission to work with the PKD Foundation to raise awareness. "I was very lucky that my wife donated her kidney," shares the pianist. "I'm going on 11+ years and I'm very grateful for that. My sister had a transplant a couple years ago and she is doing well also. There are some solutions that are being worked on but like many genetic based diseases it could be a long time before there is significant progress. People should know that there are 800,000 people in the US with PKD and two million worldwide. It's a huge problem that unfortunately doesn't get a lot of publicity."
Loeber, a self-professed enthusiast of podcasts, audio books, Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music concludes, "Since I had the transplant I focus on doing things that I enjoy and that are meaningful. I try to make the most of each day and to be productive and make great music." There lies the Prototype for a beautiful life.

Will mobile video mashup succeed where Verizon and others failed?
She's back. Since leaving her post as CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) on February 1 this year, Margaret Cushing (Meg) Whitman has been out of the limelight and keeping a low profile. Now we know why. She is to be CEO of a huge new company, which, as yet, has no official name other than the temporary, 'it-does-what-it-says-on-the-can' appellation;"NewTV".
Years ago Ms. Whitman and a certain Jeffrey Katzenberg (the co-founder of DreamWorks) worked together at Walt Disney. Now they are together again and have just raised an astonishing US$1 billion initial funding for the new venture. Make no mistake, this is a big deal and it's going to put a cat amongst the pigeons in companies such as AT& T and Verizon.
Indeed, yet more consolidation in the telecoms networks and content provider sector could well be the result once NewTV gets going. Launch plans are sketchy but word has it that the new service will start in time for the Christmas holiday season 2019. There's a lot to be done before then but given the industry profiles of Whitman and Katzenberg and the pedigree of the content partners they already have on side, this could be a game-changer.
Investors from the studio and content originator community include Disney, eOne, Fox, Britain's ITV, Lionsgate, MGM, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures, Viacom and WarnerMedia, while a major technology partner is the e-commerce juggernaut, Alibaba. The Chinese company will no doubt vital to the success of the the NewTV business model. Other partner investors are Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Liberty Global and Madrone Capital an investment vehicle run by the son of the founder of Walmert. You can see how all the pieces might come together to form something very big and very special - and the arrival of 5G will increase NewTV's chances of success.
NewTV will have a two-tier subscription model, a lower priced option that will come with what is being called "select advertising" and a more expensive version that will come without ads. Monthly subscription prices for both service options have not yet been released but Meg Whitman is on the record as saying NewTV will be "affordable for a diverse group of viewers." The target age of prospective/potential viewers is 30 and NewTV hopes it content will be compelling and diverse enough to hook subscribers in for up to an hour a day.
When they build it will subscribers come? And will they pay and stay?
Other companies have tried their hand short-form mobile video but have generally been unsuccessful. Indeed, Verizon has just stopped throwing good money after bad and has given up on its much-vaunted "go90" mobile streaming service after if flopped with the public. NewTV is betting the farm that a huge and so far massively underserved audience is waiting to sign-up to a new high-quality steaming video service designed especially for smartphones and tablets.
Thus the company is currently recruiting creatives able to manage a broad range of episodic content, usually series with instalments of 15 minutes with budgets in the $5 million to $6 million per a hour per season bracket. The NewTV platform is actually owned by Jeffrey Katzenberg's holding company WndrCo and Mr. Katzenberg is keen to emphasis that NewTV is "not a producer but more analogous to TV networks in the 1960s and '70s." He adds, "We don't consider this [NewTV] as competitive with Hulu, or HBO, or Netflix, or the networks. It's a completely different use case."
Meanwhile, Meg Whitman says NewTV will "access the best talent and intellectual property for this next era in entertainment", and "give consumers a user-friendly platform, built for mobile, that delivers the best stories, created by the world's top talent, allowing users to make the most of every moment of their day."
NewTV hopes to raise a further billion bucks in a few months with a second financing round.
According to Forrester Research, there will be more than three billion unique global smartphone will top 3 billion. That's a penetration rate of 55 per cent of the world's population, So the potential market for a new video streaming service totally focused on smartphone and tablet users is immense. However, whether a sufficient number of 30-somethings will be willing to pony-up what no doubt will be a fairly expensive, untried service remains to be seen. Others have tried and got a bloody nose for their trouble.

I recently acquired a beautiful Gräfenthal Stagecoach antique figurine #13842 from a flea market for $10 in Central New Jersey. I'm an amatuer at this and wanted to know if I got a good deal? The seller has more of these Grafenthal Figurines but I only purchased this one.
I am having conflicting reports on where the figurine origins from (Seller said Germany). I have been told Dresden, Carl Thieme.
Also he tells me this figurine is from the 1800's and I did some research and I think it's from around 1950 t0 1970's. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
It has markings underneath as you can see in my photo's. It is a beautiful figurine in immaculate pristine condition, no cracks, no sharp edges and no missing pieces.
I want to go back next weekend to buy the whole lot of approximately 20 Grafenthal figurines but need to know from someone with more experience if these are legit? Every figurine that he has is in excellent condition! Some of the Grafenthal figurines have different colored markings on the bottom.
I think this would be a great deal of $300 for the whole lot, just want to make sure they are truly the real deal.
I will be listing the stagecoach on my ebay page avapotato.
Once again I would like to thank anyone and everybody in advanced for any and all help with this figurine.
I can help you more accurately identify and date this mark.
This is the mark of Carl Schneiders Erben of Gräfenthal, Thuringia, Germany (mark used from 1886) - not Carl Thieme, Dresden.
The thinner more detailed mark was used after 1951 when the company was renamed simply 'Gräfenthal' after the city within which it was located.
The mark above is indeed the older mark, first used after 1886. I am tentatively guessing therefore that this item is c. late 19th century or early 20th century.
I'd have to do some specialist auction report research to get a handle on the price - which takes quite a bit of time. I tend not to do this type of research for free as it is a commercial activity.
Feel free to book my evaluation report service . . .

US Diamond Engagement Ring Sales Remain Solid in Q1 2017
Avi Paz
A new report on Americans' spending habits on luxury items and jewelry during the first fiscal quarter of 2017 has found that overall, the average spending on engagement rings totaled $3,406, a mere dollar short of what couples spent on diamond rings in the corresponding period in 2016.
Engagement Ring (Source: Fotolia)
The Wedding Report noted that in Q1 2017, the average cost of weddings in the U.S. was $25,960, a 2.8% drop from $26,720 the year before, citing "falling demand for services like transportation, entertainment, and beauty." Couples, the report said, "Seem to be looking for alternatives or other options, rather than the traditional route, for these services."
The report found that individually, couples spent an average of $786 on wedding rings for the bride – a dollar short of the $785 spent on bridal wedding rings in 2016. The average spending on men's wedding bands remained unchanged, at $456.
The Wedding Report's data on couples' average spending on jewelry for their nuptials was based on some 3,400 survey samples collected between January 1 and March 31, 2017, the report noted.
With vintage-style engagement rings dominating women's preferences in 2016 and early 2017, classic round-cut diamonds remained the couples' evergreen choice. Other fan favorites were the princess cut, the cushion cut, and the Asscher cut diamonds.
Surprisingly, the classic emerald-cut diamond was the least popular among couples searching for an engagement ring during the surveyed period of time. Some 38.3% of couples said they would "avoid" emerald-cut diamonds; 26.7% said they "love" emerald-cut diamonds and gems, and 5.8% said it would be too hard to pair it with a wedding band.
Despite this slight decline in overall spending on engagement and wedding rings, one must remember that demand for diamonds in the United States, which now accounts for more than half of the world's diamond consumption, rose by 4.4% to a record $41 billion in 2016.

Patrick Lyden receives eminent American Stroke Association Award
Patrick Lyden
Patrick D Lyden, a world-renowned stroke expert who played a key role in the pivotal clinical trial leading to approval of the first proven stroke therapy, has received the American Stroke Association's prestigious William M Feinberg Award for Excellence in Clinical Stroke.
The honour, which recognises significant contributions to the investigation and management of clinical research in stroke, was awarded on the 6th of February at the International Stroke Conference, Honolulu, USA.
In the late 1980s, Lyden, then at the University of California, San Diego, studied tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), in preclinical studies, and he was one of the top patient enrollers for the trial that led the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve the "clot-busting" drug in 1996. When administered soon after stroke onset, tPA sometimes can clear a blocked artery, restore blood flow to the brain and reverse the stroke's effects. More than 20 years later, studies continue to show tPA's long-lasting, life-saving benefits.
Lyden also was instrumental in refining the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), a measure for quantifying stroke severity, and he shared a prestigious CINE award with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for producing and directing NIHSS training and certification videos. Translated into 20 languages, the programmes have been viewed by two million doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians around the world.
Midori A Yenari, a vascular neurologist and professor of Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, USA, nominated Lyden for the award, saying she first met him when she was a beginning stroke fellow, and he profoundly influenced her career.
"He introduced me to his postdoctoral fellow, then excused himself to urgently assess an acute stroke patient on the other side of town for consideration of enrolment in the tPA trial. To my early investigator self, he was a model of the perfect physician-scientist—someone who could skilfully balance translational bench research with real-time patient care," she said. "TPA became an international standard treatment for acute ischaemic stroke, very much in part because of Lyden's dedication and passion for the field, and he continues to study clinical strategies for neuroprotection."
In 2009, Lyden joined Cedars-Sinai to become the medical center's first chair of the Department of Neurology, elevating the Stroke Program to a national leadership level. Three years later, Cedars-Sinai became one of the first five medical centres in the nation and the first in Los Angeles to be certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. More than 1,000 acute stroke patients are seen at Cedars-Sinai each year, and the Stroke Program consistently earns highest performance awards from the AHA/ASA.
"Lyden came to Cedars-Sinai with a sterling and well-deserved international reputation for his contributions to stroke treatment and his passion to save lives. Those of us who have had the opportunity to collaborate with him know that his scientific curiosity and his patient-centred focus—the qualities that make him so deserving of this award—have never waned," said Keith L Black, chair of the Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurosurgery and director of the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute.
In addition to his work on tPA, Lyden led the world's largest study of therapeutic cooling to reduce brain injury after stroke, and he and colleagues have published breakthrough findings on the mysterious role of a protein called thrombin that stroke-injured brain neurons appear to use to signal for help from nearby cells.
"Lyden is a remarkably accomplished and renowned international leader in cerebrovascular research. A deep thinker, path-breaker, leading educator, and an impactful clinical trial leader, he has shaped our field and continues to vitally advance stroke care," said Jeffrey L Saver, professor of Neurology at UCLA, senior associate vice chair for Clinical Research in the Department of Neurology, and director of the UCLA Comprehensive Stroke and Vascular Neurology Program.
Before joining Cedars-Sinai, Lyden, an associate editor of the International Journal of Stroke, served the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego, as professor and vice chairman for Clinical Neurology, and he served the UCSD Medical Center as clinical chief of Neurology and director of the Stroke Center.
He earned his bachelor's degree from UCLA and his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine before completing an internship at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in San Diego. He completed a neurology residency and stroke fellowship at the UCSD Medical Center.

It was the moment they had all been waiting for…Israel agreed to send Benjamin to Egypt. This was a significant moment in the life of God's people. After losing Joseph, Israel had lost his trust in God's plan. His only living reminder of his beloved Rachel was young Ben. Years had passed and life had progressed, but, Israel remained extremely protective of his youngest son.
With the famine, however, came the crossroads–would the patriarch of this people allow them all to starve to protect Benjamin? Israel finally resigned himself to letting go and trusting the God that had provided for his family since the dawn of time. The amazing part of the release was that it would be the act that truly restored the family and Israel to where God wanted them to be.
In order to be truly free, one must detach one's self from his greatest point of attachment. In other words, as Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me; let him deny himself, take up his cross–daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23. Israel had to place his most protected treasure on the alter and trust God to take care of it.

Check out how we painted the Grot Scuttlings. After having completed all the horrors we moved onto painting these weird goblin like creatures. It's a bit like they took all the goblin models from the old game and squished them together to make these monstrosities.
Since the models are almost entirely dark colours we used Vallejo black primer instead of our usual favourite grey primer. The skin areas were then base coated with goblin green and then highlighted with a roughly 1:1 mix of Goblin green and Dead flesh. The final highlight of Dead flesh was aimed mainly on their faces.
I've painted goblins with this classic combination of greens since the 90's. Regardless of whether it's dry brushing, layering or airbrushing I love these colours. Oh and don't forget to paint their ears!
This time I made very dark green by mixing 3:1 – Black:Sap green. Apply this to all of the skin areas and once dry clean up with a make up applicator. To get some neat little shadows on the ankle bones only wipe from top to bottom. Take care on the fingers and toes to leave some wash in the recesses and remember it can always be reapplied if needed.
In some places the make up applicator was too big to fit so on some arms and legs the outside has been cleaned of wash whilst the inside hasn't been touched. I think this gives the models a kind of moody feel.
Emma painted the cloaks with Eshin grey and then applied multiple thin layers of Nuln oil until they were suitably dark. I think this has given a nice smooth dark grey which works well here.
Using the point of a high quality brush the webs and stitching were picked out with Celestra grey. Take your time and go carefully, a couple of coats here will do the trick.
The brown weapon handles are simply Mournfang brown followed by a coat of Nuln oil.
The strapping on the spears is a bit of an odd one since it was never repainted after the airbrushing. It was incidentally painted with the flesh tones, particularly the brighter ones. Emma simply brushed on some Nuln oil.
I drybrushed Mournfang brown straight over the black and then gave them a second drybrush of Baneblade brown. This is a great way to quickly paint small wooden parts like this.
For the feathers on the arrows layer on a few thin coats of Evil sunz scarlet. Since it's quite a translucent colour anyway when painted over black it can be used to highlight itself. Great to get these little bits done fast.
All the weapon blades and other silver parts were painted with our usual colours. That is base coat with Leadbelcher, shade with Nuln oil and edge highlight with Runefang steel.
Base coat with Rhinox hide and layer with Ushabti bone. The teeth can be a little tricky, I suggest wiping most the paint off the brush and using a very light touch. Try to paint one tooth at a time. They don't need to be perfect and can be touched up with Rhinox hide if needed.
The grotty little mutated arms follow the rest of the skin but then received a final coat of Bieltan green. Another quick and easy step to add more interest.
We paint a lot of glowing eyes by dotting them with White scar and then covering them with Bloodletter red glaze. We wanted to experiment further with this technique so also painted all off the little spiders like this too. After 6 or 7 coats of glaze we're not sold on the results.
Don't forget these weird little dudes have 2 eyes per eye for a total of 4 eyes each. Let's hope none of them need spectacles soon.
Well we've never painted goblins like these before, they were great fun. I'm really pleased how well this choice of greens translates to the airbrush and oil wash method. The nets were a bit tricky to pick out and we both had a go at painting them at various stages, a true collaboration.
If you'd like to know more about the techniques we've used on all the models and how we made the bases please check out the Techniques – How to Paint Warhammer Quest article here.

There was a change to the IRS regulations in 2009 regarding employee salary deferrals. You are no longer allowed to pre-pay or to pay salary deferrals as "hold for monthly/quarterly payment." They must be transmitted to your retirement plan account by your congregation in a "timely manner" which the IRS has defined as "before the next payroll." By your congregation using the PSW system for all of your contributions, your money is invested in a far more timely and secure manner.

The VitalCycle Solution is a cloud solution hosted by Oracle. It is built upon the Oracle CX applications as the technology foundation. This provides the VitalCycle solution with a very robust, flexible, time-proven, and actively growing platform to ensure that the users of VitalCycle are not stuck in a place in time or with a singularly built platform that demands specific requirements and development dollars to get new features; the new features and modern modular design come as basic values of the VitalCycle solution. Below are a few links to help you learn about the Oracle CX applications and security.
We as Helix have been deploying and engineering on this platform for many years. Many of us have over 15 years' experience using the platform in successful projects for both public and private sector clients. We have had over 800 engagements to date, and that number grows each day. We are the recognized experts in deploying and managing Oracle Service Cloud and other CX platform applications. What does this mean to you? It bestows confidence that we are providing you with the most robust, secure, and scalable solution available, and utilizing our experience and best practices to create an industry-specific solution for you. This also means less time spent on customization, resulting in shorter implementation phases measured in months rather than years.
The VitalCycle solution is purpose built with data transparency in mind. While we are able to segregate cases and functions based on profiles, all data including any added data tables that are unique to you can be exposed throughout the application as if they were native. This includes reports, workspaces and more.
Perhaps the greatest value to leadership is the ability to see everything that is within your purview and interest, exactly to the moment. For example, supervisors can access real-time overviews of team utilization and SLAs, and the Director can review global trends and SLAs. If the need arises, a comprehensive case/incident history including notes, case details, and a complete documented history can be easily produced within minutes. The capability to create detailed reliable report data within moments, not months is an invaluable tool for government leaders in today's fast-paced world.
VitalCycle enables citizen interaction through a modern, mobile enabled customer portal. Citizens can easily file a complaint or concern with the appropriate department from the convenience of their computer or mobile device, or through more traditional methods such as telephone or in person. Regardless of the avenue of communication, the VitalCycle solution allows information to be collected and stored securely in the Oracle Government Cloud, where it can be accessed, analyzed, reported on, or utilized to produce further action. This technology has been successfully utilized by the commercial world for several years, and has proven its effectiveness and value time and again. It is our desire to provide to our Federal, State and Local governments the same ability to implement and utilize these modern, advanced and helpful technologies, allowing government agencies the ability to implement more cost effective, customer (citizen) experience oriented solutions.
VitalCycle standardizes your organization's processes and helps ensure that renewals are completed in a timely manner. This solution utilizes Oracle service cloud that encompasses a powerful reporting tool that can be leveraged to notify supervisors, staff members and clients daily of licenses that are about to expire. These notifications can be sent out days, weeks or months in advance so that anniversary inspections are completed on time and revolving revenue is not lost.
VitalCycle provides a citizen portal that allows for licensing applications to be conveniently filled out via any mobile device or computer. Once an application has been submitted your organization will receive instant notification and can begin the inspection process. This modern, streamlined interaction between agency and citizen helps to drive efficiency, increase compliance, and capture revenue.
Utilizing Oracle's suite of products allows VitalCycle to provide a powerful dispatching tool that works to maximize the efficiency of your field staff. This system learns employee skill sets and the time required for each staff member to complete certain tasks and optimizes travel for field workers throughout the day. Certain escalation processes are in place to ensure that when tasks cannot be completed in time, dispatch is notified and is able to adjust assignments accordingly or call the citizen to notify them right away of the schedule change. VitalCycle helps you ensure that your organization has the right staff member with the right skillset and equipment, in the right place, at the right time. Period.
VitalCycle provides a powerful policy automation tool and mobile application. All necessary actions steps for inspections can be accessed on a mobile device of your choice. This enables field workers to complete all tasks on site including assessments. Policy automation gives staff feedback on whether the license should be approved, re-inspected later, or denied, while also a providing a report for the citizen explaining the reasons. These determinations are completely customizable based on your business rules and operations and minimize human error by creating consistent, transparent decision-making processes within your organization.
Based on inspection results, remediation may be necessary for the customer/citizen to be issued a permit or license. VitalCycle's policy automation can be utilized to produce a simple, easy to understand report that explains the deficiencies, as well as the necessary steps for mitigation.
Once an inspection (and possible remediation/re-inspection) has been completed, VitalCycle's powerful policy automation tool provides a succinct result, supported by your business rules and operations. Receive a definitive result on whether to issue a license, re-inspect later, or deny approval. VitalCycle minimizes human error by creating consistent, transparent decision-making processes within your organization.
Streamlining customer/citizen interaction in addition to optimizing internal processes with the VitalCycle solution increases compliance. With increased compliance comes additional revenue from inspection and permitting fees. VitalCycle helps ensure that potential revenue doesn't slip through the cracks, but rather is collected by your organization in a timely manner.
Once an inspection is satisfactorily completed and the appropriate fees paid, the customer/citizen is issued their license or permit. Expiration information is captured in the system and utilized to produce notifications when the anniversary is approaching. These notifications can be automatically generated and distributed to both the citizen and your organization's staff. Utilizing VitalCycle's automation and business rules helps to ensure that re-inspections and license renewals are completed in a timely manner, and that revolving revenue is not slipping through the cracks.
Based on inspection results, termination of a citizen's license will occasionally be necessary. VitalCycle's policy automation can be utilized to produce a simple, easy to understand report that explains the deficiencies, as well as the necessary steps for mitigation prior to reapplication. VitalCycle provides your inspectors with the tools to be confident in their decisions and your citizens the resources to correct deficiencies and re-apply with confidence.
VitalCycle enables your organization to maximize revenue from all angles. Intelligent automation can effectively and efficiently accomplish tasks that would otherwise consume valuable resources. Modernizing your organization's internal processes and interactions with citizens can streamline communications and help you avoid missed opportunities. VitalCycle standardizes your organization's processes, ensuring that all applicable requirements are met, fees are collected, and renewals are completed on time. Increased transparency within the organization and standardized processes reduce the possibility of human error and minimizes your organization's exposure to liability.
VitalCycle drives efficiency throughout your entire organization. Oracle Field Service optimizes dispatch, scheduling, and workforce routing enables team collaboration and mobile access and streamlines customer connection. Utilize your workforce at their full production capacity and reclaim revenue otherwise lost through a substandard allocation of resources.
As government officials, you understand that the safety of our citizens is paramount. Safety is not only accomplished by increasing compliance, but also by reducing the potential for internal errors. VitalCycle helps your organization minimize human error by standardizing the inspection process, integrating rule models, and running real-time policy analytics. VitalCycle's mobility features make these resources available to your field staff when and where they need them. Clearly defining your organization's processes from start to finish enables your employees to perform at their highest potential and make fewer mistakes. VitalCycle not only helps you keep your citizens safe, it also protects your organization from exposure to liability due to preventable errors.
VitalCycle encourages compliance by simplifying the process for consumers and creating accountability within your organization through the transparency of collected data. By utilizing policy automation, you can ensure that data collected is not only consistent and accurate but also precisely interpreted to identify the correct course of action. VitalCycle drives full compliance by ensuring that no requirements are missed, all applicable fees are paid, and renewals are completed promptly.


Death trial cassie. will it work?
I bumped into Moggin this season playing Cass trial with Alcuin Fugitive, which works nicely with Darkfire Sacrifice.
IMO both Dancer and Shroud are a weak play pre-Trial. Of course it depends on the board, but I would try to hold either of them.
And I would estimate 1/4 of Xor matches still lose post-Trial.
Dancer always requires an answer, whereas Nightshroud dies to you looking at it in a bad way. But on the second point I agree, post-trial Xor has the most counters out of any finished trial (besides NoSE).

The "People Power" Love-Lust Superbook Book 2. Christian-Jewish-Moslem-Hindu-Sikh-Buddhist-New Age-Tantric-Spiritual-Psychedelic-Ecstatic Love & Sex
By Tony Kelbrat
By traditional family values, I don't necessarily mean religious values even though this is where traditional values come from and the two often go hand in hand, especially with the right wing political-religious climate in the heartland right now. There are plenty of Christian family books at around #240 to #260 at the library and books about other religions from #290 to #299. Pretty well every major religion has a code of conduct as to how a family should live together. There are some psychology-sociology books about the family at #306.850 or HQ535 at the library. The following are some basic tenets of traditional family values: Even though the family has traditionally been defined as a woman, man and children, nowadays, some liberals define it as any group of people where love is present on an ongoing, day by day basis so this is it, a family is defined by the amount of love there is in it.

Wimbledon 2017 final expectations: Roger Federer vs Marin Cilic

Here's the preview of the Wimbledon final between Roger Federer and Marin Cilic.
by Milos Kitanovic (article and video)
July 15, 2017 at 7:57 AM July 15, 2017 at 7:57 AM
Given all what we've seen at Wimbledon 2017 so far, there is no doubt that both Roger Federer and Marin Cilic earned their place in Sunday's final. Roger hasn't lost a set in the tournament, but he was definitely tested in the semi-finals against Tomas Berdych. Yes, he won again in straight sets, but given the fact that other players didn't even come close to taking sets from Federer, this match was definitely a test.
Roger was pushed to the edge in all sets, and it was only because of his brilliant focus and ability to play the best tennis when necessary that he was able to win a match in straight sets.
On the other hand, Marin Cilic was impressive in the first four rounds of the tournament. It wasn't until his quarter-final match against Gilles Miller that he was truly tested. In the semi-finals, he turned things around against Sam Querrey after losing the first set.
The stakes are high
With a 30-2 match record this season that includes the Australian Open crown and his first two masters tournaments titles, there is no doubt that Federer is once again at his best. On the other hand, we have Marin Cilic with an incredible run reminiscent of the 2014 US Open when he won his maiden Grand slam title.
The stakes are high. Roger Federer will try to win his 8th Wimbledon title which would surpass Pete Sampras and William Renshaw. His Sunday win would also mean a 19th major title which will cement his place on the top of the list of Grand Slam champions.
On the other side of the net will stand Marin Cilic who is just into his second grand slam final and his first at Wimbledon. However, let us not forget the fact that he was victorious last time he played a Grand slam final.
In head-to-head meetings, Federer leads 6-1. The last of their seven meetings occurred at Wimbledon last year when Federer came out on top in the fifth set, after losing the first two.
If we take this match into account, there is no doubt that we can expect a tremendous battle on Sunday. Before that match, there was a win for Marin Cilic, and what a win it was. The Croat stunned Federer, beating him in straight sets at the US Open semifinals on his path to the title. The rest of their meetings featured some interesting battles such as the one that occurred at the Rogers Cup where Federer came out on top in the third set.
In conclusion, we must say that anything less than a Federer win will definitely be a surprise. However, Cilic proved himself to be a dangerous opponent, especially on the big stage so we can at least expect an interesting battle, and who knows, maybe even another thrilling five-setter.
