Ciara Is The New Beauty Ambassador For Revlon
Revlon has just cemented Ciara has ultimate beauty inspiration.
Ciara continues to have a very memorable 2016 and this latest round of news just may be the cherry on top. Aside from marrying new hubby Russell Wilson and signing with top modeling agency IMG, things couldn't get any better for the statuesque singer. This is the first major beauty brand spokeswoman gig for Ciara, but if she keeps up her momentum it certainly won't be the last.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BLuILepDu5f/?tagged=ciara
Throughout the years, Revlon has selected some of the most beautiful women to be their beauty ambassadors, so Ciara is definitely in good company. With her modelesque figure and natural good looks, this endorsement feels like a dream partnership between the two. In an exclusive with PEOPLE magazine, Ciara opens up about the latest business venture and her favorite Revlon products.
The role has been a lifelong dream for Ciara, who reveals she's had a connection to the brand since before her birth. "My mom was trying to figure out my name when my dad bought her a fragrance called Ciara by Revlon. That's where my name came from! Ever since I understood that, my mind has been on it," she tells People.
The singer is also used Revlon products for as long as she can remember. Her No. 1 must-have? The brand's brow pencils. "Having the right brow shape — and having your brows stay in place throughout the day — is crucial. I discovered Revlon's brow pencils years ago, and that's the one thing I live by. They're a game-changer." Another of her must-haves: the Revlon's Crème Eye Shadow. "You can create a nice, easy look for daytime but at night, you can make it spicier if you're feeling it."
And while Ciara's already stoked about stocking up on her faves, the partnership is about much more to her than lip balm and mascara. As Global Brand Ambassador, she will not only appear in color cosmetics ads, but will also be the face of the "Choose Love" campaign, part of the brand's larger Love Is On platform, which launched in 2014 and focuses on celebrating love and all of its positive aspects and possibilities. "It's so exciting to be a part of the 'Choose Love' campaign because the messaging is parallel with what was and is happening in my life," says the newlywed, who married Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in July.
While Ciara is certainly juggling a lot right now, her fans are still wondering when they can expect some new music from her. She has yet to release any new information about music projects lately, but is said to be in the early stages of the recording process.

Irish Church leaders appeal to UK, EU: "End economic and social uncertainty" over Brexit
By Cameron Doody October 6, 2020
(Source: CD/Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ, Vatican News)
Church leaders from across the island of Ireland have appealed to the UK and the European Union to "act with urgency and generosity to end the economic and social uncertainty" over Brexit and to secure the best foundations for their evolving relationship.
A statement in that regard on Tuesday was jointly signed by the Catholic Primate of all Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, alongside four other Church leaders: the Presbyterian moderator Dr. David Bruce, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh John McDowell, Methodist President Tom McKnight and Ivan Patterson, president of the Irish Council of Churches.
The Church leaders noted that with limited time remaining for the outworking of Brexit, "it is in everyone's interests to achieve the clarity and security an agreement will provide," especially for those whose resources are already affected by the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Brexit – the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union – has a 31 December 2020 deadline. The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. This date also signalled the start of a transition period to allow the UK and the EU to agree on the terms of their new relationship, including on trade and immigration, among other things.
Good Friday Agreement: a good foundation to build upon
The Church leaders said that they do not underestimate the challenges faced by the negotiating parties given the significance of what is at stake.
But they also welcomed the commitment of the parties to the protection of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement in all its parts. They said they hoped that that Agreement might serve "as a source of inspiration and a foundation to build upon" as work on the Brexit process continues.
The Church leaders described the Agreement's preamble as a "powerful reminder that it is relationships that make agreements operational."
The Good Friday Agreement, also called the Belfast Agreement, was an accord reached between British and Irish governments and most of the political parties in Northern Ireland on 10 April 1998. Its aim was to establish a new, devolved government for Northern Ireland.
Mutual trust
In that light, the principles of tolerance, mutual trust and protection of human rights to which the Belfast Agreement signatories committed created a new space to navigate the "substantial differences" between their "continuing and equally legitimate, political aspirations," the Irish Christian leaders said. They added that the Agreement also provided a framework to address barriers to political engagement, promote social cohesion and develop the economy.
On top of that, the Church leaders said that the Agreement is regarded as "an act of significant global leadership in peace and reconciliation."
This achievement, they noted, belongs not only to the people of Northern Ireland, but also to the British and Irish people and governments, with the support of the EU and friends in the United States.
"At the heart of the Good Friday Agreement is an acknowledgment of our interdependence," the Church leaders pointed out.
In that regard, they explained that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to "manage risk collaboratively," not only between Britain and Ireland but also internationally.
Besides, they pointed out that there are other major global challenges on the horizon that will require nations to coordinate their responses and demonstrate a shared vision of leadership, adding that trade agreements, which have vital social and ethical dimensions, cannot be separated from this wider network of relations.
Concluding, the Church leaders highlighted that the future relationship between the UK and the EU will be the focus of debate for many years to come.
They therefore called on the parties to "secure the best possible foundations for that evolving relationship by giving the much-needed certainty on the economic and social implications," and to provide a "framework within which future challenges can be addressed on the basis of relationships of trust and mutual respect."

What it was really like having a baby during a pandemic!
What was it like having a baby in lockdown? Two Mums spill the beans...
Welcoming a baby into the world can be daunting at the best of times, but with the UK having been in lockdown and social distancing being practiced, entering new parenthood during the pandemic was decidedly different from the norm!
From virtual hellos to industrial amounts of anti-bac, this is life with a new-born in 2020.
Welcome to our blog Tanya and Anna and congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous boys! How far along were you when lockdown was announced?
T: 35 weeks
A: Roughly 32 weeks
What did you think when you first realised your babies would be born in the pandemic?
T: Why is this happening to me? Will my partner be allowed at the birth, will we all be ok?
A: I was a bit apprehensive and uncertain, particularly about the birth and how the pandemic would affect it.
Once we started to realise how serious the disease was, how did things change for you and your pregnancy journey?
T: I had to attend hospital visits alone and found them quite scary. I just couldn't believe this was happening during my first pregnancy and I felt very lonely in isolation at home.
A: I had fewer face to face midwife appointments than with my first baby, but they were always contactable by phone, as were the hospital. Any concerns I had in the last trimester the hospital dealt with. I still had my 41 week appointment face to face which was beneficial as they decided to induce the baby.
If you had medical appointments during the peak, did these go ahead as planned? How were they different to a usual trip to the doctors?
T: Yes, they all went ahead as planned, but towards the end I was quite large and struggling to walk, not being able to have anyone with me to help was quite challenging to say the least.
A: My final midwife appointment at 41 weeks was a little different, there were less people in the waiting room, the appointments were more on time compared to ones before the pandemic and the midwife had to wear a mask and plastic apron.
So, how did you prepare for your new arrival at home? I imagine with all the extra time we spent at home you probably started "nesting" early!
T: It was actually a little stressful! I was in the middle of getting the babies nurseries ready, then all of a sudden, the shops shut and trying to buy online was disastrous because the delivery timeframes were too long and products were sold out, so unfortunately the nursery wasn't finished in time!
A: I had extra time to clean, sort and prepare our home. I also had extra time to spend with my toddler to help prepare him for meeting his baby brother.
Did you manage to have a baby shower of some sorts? We hear virtual baby showers were all the rage?!
T: Thankfully I had a gender reveal party late February. We all felt so lucky to get this day in.
A: No, but that was no different to what I did for my first baby.
What was the best piece of pregnancy advice you received?
T: Sleep when the babies sleep, which I have only managed to do a few times!
A: "Don't over plan your birth as you never know what's going to happen" . I was told this during my first pregnancy. Going in with this attitude prepares you for anything and avoids any disappointment. This was even more so important during Covid 19.
Talk us through the day the boys were born, it must have been very surreal? At what stage was your other half allowed to join you?
T: When the day came for my c section, I had to be dropped off at the hospital at 6 am to be ready for 11/12pm. I was heartbroken that I had to be on my own until the actual c section, particularly as these were my first babies. My partner was allowed to join me as we went to theatre then had to leave shortly after.
A: My labour was induced and I had to go in on my own. As soon as the contractions began and I was moved to the labour ward my husband was allowed to join immediately. He had to leave shortly after the birth but we were lucky to have a couple of hours beforehand thanks to the wonderful staff at Frimley Park Hospital. I was then moved to the post-natal ward where it was just me and the baby, although I had been apprehensive about this time the reality was quite different. I found these to be cherished moments where I could spend valuable time bonding with my new baby.
How do you feel about your little ones not being introduced to your family and friends for the first couple of months? How did you stay in touch?
T: To be honest, initially I felt really sad and wanted everyone to see my beautiful boys. Luckily though, we had a lot of FaceTimes and visits to the windows.
A: This was difficult at first and we kept in touch via FaceTime and phone calls. However, we quickly came to realise that in having no visitors, we had a much calmer, happier and contented baby.
Tanya, tell us about Teddy and Noah? Are there any obvious differences in their personalities ?
T: Yes they look the same, but their beautiful personalities are already very different. Teddy is very demanding and loves cuddles and won't wait whereas Noah is very relaxed and chilled and will let his brother feed first. Teddy is definitely a mummies boy and Noah is a Daddies boy.
And Anna, how does little Harry compare to his big brother?
A: Teddy was more demanding and fractious as a newborn but Harry has been calm and slept much better. Ironically, whilst every birth is different, I believe the pandemic situation has helped foster a calmer, happy newborn and made the journey from womb to real world all the easier.
What baby essentials couldn't you live without and why?
T: Infacol for colic, it's a life saver in the evening, and lots of Bloomsbury Mill muslins, we need them everywhere because feed times are never ending and Teddy is often sick.
A: Our Sleepyhead and our Bloomsbury Mill muslins which are so soft and versatile.
Lastly, what is the best thing about being a Mum?
T: Definitely double the amount of kisses, smiles and giggles. Seeing these two boys develop daily is so rewarding. I miss them so much when they are sleeping.
A: When your child beams back at you and tells you that they love you.
And there you have it, the low down on lockdown babies!

A: The binary format of numeric is not documented in the online documentation. You have to resort to the source code for that.
What you need is in src/backend/utils/adt/numeric.c. The code that produces the network representation is here. The data type is stored as NumericData, and the representation used to do arithmetic is NumericVar.

Iran pledges aid for Palestinian government
Yesterday, Egypt rejected an appeal by the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, for Arab states to deny direct aid to Hamas when it forms a government but Iran has pledged to provide financial assistance to the new Palestinian government.
World Bulletin / Mehmet Ali KAÇMAZ
The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, announced the offer after a meeting with Khaled Mashaal, the political leader of the Hamas, in Tehran, the radio said. Larijani said the decision was taken after the United States said it would not provide aid to an authority governed by Hamas until the group renouced violence, recognized Israel and agreed to abide by existing agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.
The United States has sought to build an international front against Hamas since it won the Palestinian parliamentary elections. Most governments in the West have agreed to insist that Hamas renounce violence. Yesterday, Egypt rejected an appeal by the US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, for Arab states to deny direct aid to Hamas when it forms a government.
Earlier on Wednesday, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad an anti-Semite, a racist, and a hater of Israel, Army Radio reported. Speaking before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Olmert was quoted as saying: "Ahmadinejad is an anti-Semite, a racist, and an Israel-hater, but there's no point in holding a competition of inflammatory statements with him."

Savvy Seniors
ZOA to MSNBC: Fire Joy Reid for Anti-Semitic Comments & Conspiracy Theories
The Zionist Organization of America has called upon the TV broadcasting network MSNBC to fire Joy Reid, host of 'MSNBC's AM Joy' program, for uttering outrageous anti-Semitic comments and for espousing bizarre conspiracy theories. The ZOA is appalled that someone espousing her views and making the comments she has made on air has a paid slot on a major TV network and calls upon MSNBC to fire her forthwith.
Joy Reid's record includes the following:
• Writing a post in December 2005 on her now-defunct blog supporting a statement by the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, well known for his promotion of Holocaust denial and declarations about destroying the Jewish state of Israel, that Jews are wrongfully occupying Palestinian land. Reid approvingly quoted Ahmadinejad's statement, "You believe the Jews were oppressed, why should the Palestinian Muslims have to pay the price? You oppressed them, so give a part of Europe to the Zionist regime so they can establish any government they want. We would support it. So, Germany and Austria, come and give one, two or any number of your provinces to the Zionist regime so they can create a country there... and the problem will be solved at its root..." Of this, Reid said, "I hate to admit that Mr. Ahmadinejad has a point, before accusing Israel of adhering to a rigid ethnic caste system and erroneously claiming that most Israeli citizens are descended from German nationals: It was the German government of the 1930s and the Vichy French who perpetrated and abetted the Holocaust... It does seem a tad cheeky of the British to have unilaterally awarded the victims land belonging to living Palestinians as restitution. After all, God is not a real estate broker. He can't just give you land 1,000 years ago that you can come back and claim today." (David Rosenberg, 'MSNBC host: Ahmadinejad was right, Israel shouldn't exist,' Israel National News, June 3, 2018).
• In other posts, Reid endorsed conspiracy theories regarding the 2001 9/11 terror attacks, including a movie that suggested the attacks were in fact part of a conspiracy by the US government. ('Joy Reid's Blog Promoted Anti-Semitic Conspiracies, Vicious Personal Attacks,' Daily Wire, June 1, 2018).
• In a blog post from July 21, 2006, Reid blamed Jews for Islamic terrorism and even appeared to justify terrorism against Israelis, saying, "The bottom line now is the same as it has always been: you cannot kill enough of your enemies to make the people of the Muslim world accept, respect, or permit themselves to be dominated by you. Eventually, the occupied will get even. Eventually, the people you consider terrorists will fight you hard enough, and long enough, that the people they say they are fighting for believe them, far more than they believe you. And then the people you're bombing in the name of fighting terrorism, will hate you so much, they'll take up arms with your 'terrorists' in order to see harm done to you... transmitted by colonialism, resource greed, racism, (and Zionism)... the Jewish jihadists quit the US to suit up in Tel Aviv..." (Ryan Saavedra, '"JEWISH JIHADISTS": Joy Reid's Blog Published Posts Blaming Jews For Terrorism,' Daily Wire, June 5, 2018).
• In 2006, Reid penned an article in which she gave voice to the anti-Semitic canard calling American Jews who express support for Israel of "dual loyalties," labeled them all "neoconservatives" (often used by anti-Semites as a code word for malign Jews) and calling them all "hard core American Likudniks," as if there is something subversive about those American Jews who express support for the Likud party, one of the historically two main political parties in Israel. Reid wrote, "It's just that there is a tremendous taboo in the United States about saying anything even remotely negative about Israel, or about implying 'dual loyalty' when it comes to a Jewish American. It simply isn't done, because it would expose the speaker to charges of anti-Semitism (Pat Buchanan can tell you all about that, given his periodic criticism of the Israelis)" (David Rosenberg, 'MSNBC host: Ahmadinejad was right, Israel shouldn't exist,' Israel National News, June 3, 2018).
• A recent tweet attacking the pro-Israel, anti-jihadist former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, Dr. Sebastian Gorka. Reid tweeted at the time of Gorka's resignation last year from the White House that she "#Did NAZI that coming"—alluding to the falsehood spread about Gorka during his tenure in the White House that he was a fascist and son of a fascist.
• Deep hostility to Israel in its struggle against the Jew-killing terrorists of Hamas and other Palestinian Arab terrorist groups. Thus, Reid has called Israel's efforts to stop Hamas's rocket attacks from Gaza and the Palestinian Arab deaths resulting from Hamas embedding their terrorists and rocket launchers amid the Gaza population as amounting to a killing of a "population equivalent of 100 9/11's," while actually remaining silent on the rocket assaults Israel was working to stop and defend its population against.
• Complained about Senator Ted Cruz's opposition to BDS, the anti-Semitic boycott of the Jewish State, whose goal, as its leaders state, is to destroy Israel ('Joy Reid's Blog Promoted Anti-Semitic Conspiracies, Vicious Personal Attacks,' Daily Wire, June 1, 2018).
• Earlier this year, other controversial articles posted to Reid's blog came to light, including one which photo-shopped Arizona Senator John McCain into an image of the 2007 Virginia Tech campus shooting. The post was titled "Bagdad John strikes again." Reid first denied writing this, claiming her blog had been hacked, before subsequently admitting that she had indeed written the blog post containing these remarks ('Joy Reid's Blog Promoted Anti-Semitic Conspiracies, Vicious Personal Attacks,' Daily Wire, June 1, 218).
ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, "It is truly remarkable and a sign of the sickness of our times that someone who espouses sinister anti-Semitic canards and gives voice to bizarre conspiracy theories hold a major broadcasting position on a TV network. More outrageous still is the fact that Joy Reid's outrageous record, once discovered and publicized, has not led to her immediate firing, which the ZOA urges MSNBC to do without a moment's delay.

UK Business Premises Renovation Allowance (BPRA)
BPRA is a useful relief in the UK for developers, also overseas developers, in projects in disadvantaged areas, but the relief is due to cease at the end of March 2017, so developers should plan their cash flow on such projects now with urgency.
What is BPRA: BPRA was introduced in April 2007. It is a 100% tax allowance for certain spending for businesses converting or renovating unused qualifying business premises in a disadvantaged area.
BREXIT - United Kingdom
UK Brexit affecting the UK property and construction sector
The property sector had been awash with caution and hesitancy. International investors require stability and some inward investment has been delayed until it becomes more certain whether and when the UK decides to leave the EU and what trading model it will adopt. On the other hand, the post-referendum fall in Sterling has made UK property much more attractive in foreign currency terms.
TAX AND OTHER CHANGES 2016
There have been some sweeping changes in tax legislation in Poland which have come into effect in 2016. Click on the link below to find the main changes that affect - among others - the property & construction sector.
Offshore owners of UK property may be subject to UK tax
Legislation has been introduced, effective from July, to bring within the scope of UK taxation profits or gains from the disposal of UK land or buildings made by those based offshore. It is aimed primarily at developers and speculators. Historically some offshore developers have been able to avoid UK taxation on UK property developments by relying on tax planning involving offshore jurisdictions and ensuring that no taxable UK presence was created.
UK Budget 2016 changes affecting the property and construction sector
Lower business rates: from April 2017, rate payers that occupy a single property with a rateable value of £12,000 or less will pay no business rates. Currently, this 100% relief is available for a business that occupies a property (e.g. a shop or office) with a value of £6,000 or less. There will be a tapered rate of relief on properties worth up to £15,000. This means that 600,000 businesses will pay no rates.
VAT - Italy
TREATMENT OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS VS. SALE OF GOODS TO BE INSTALLED
Article 17, paragraph 6, point a) of Presidential Decree 633/1972, provides for the application of the VAT reverse charge mechanism for the supply of services made in the construction sector by subcontractors contracted by companies that carry out construction or restructuring of real estate property, or by general contractors or other subcontractors.


SRINAGAR, Sep 8: In a major offensive against the doctors remaining absent from their duties for a long time the Jammu & Kashmir administration led by Satya Pal Malik today terminated services of 65 doctors.
According to an order issued by the Health and Medical Education Department, the doctors despite being served repeated notices did not resume their duties and their cases were accordingly examined thoroughly in the department in light of the rule position governing the subject.
It said the act of not resuming duties is a voluntary act on their part to abandon their services which warrants the end of employer and employee relationship under Article 128 J&K CSR Vol-I.

Types of Propellers : Fixed-Pitch, Ground-Adjustable, Reverse-Pitch, & Test Club
Post author By romainberg
No Comments on Types of Propellers : Fixed-Pitch, Ground-Adjustable, Reverse-Pitch, & Test Club
In our last blog post, we discussed Constant-Speed, Controllable-Pitch, and Feathering Propellers for aircraft. In this blog post, we want to finish covering some other types of aircraft propellers. Namely, we're going to look at fixed-pitch, ground-adjustable, reverse-pitch, and test club propellers.
Stockton Propeller is a full-service governor, metal, and composite propeller shop in Stockton, California. If you need a composite propeller repair or overhaul, contact Stockton Propeller first.
Now, let's look at some additional types of propellers – and their differences.
Fixed-Pitch Propellers
A fixed-pitch propeller has the angle, or pitch, built into the propeller, as the name implies. The pitch cannot be changed once the propeller is completed.
A fixed-pitch propeller is just one piece. Only one pitch setting is possible, and the whole configuration is usually a two-blade propeller. Once built, the pilot cannot change the angle of the propeller. Fixed-pitch propellers are generally made of aluminum alloy or wood.
Fixed-pitch propellers are a compromise of best take-off and climb performance and cruise. Many single-engine aircraft use fixed-pitch propellers. The advantages to these propellers are they are less expensive, and they are a simple operation. This type of propeller does not require any control inputs from the pilot in flight.
Fixed-pitch propellers are further categorized into two categories: metal propellers and wooden propellers.
Metal Propellers
In 1940, the military popularized the use of solid steel propellers. Very few of these still exist, but were very efficient for the time.
Craftsmen create modern metal propellers from high-strength, heat-treated, aluminum alloy. The result was extremely successful and became the future of the propeller creation.
Metal propellers are now used extensively for all types of aircraft. The metal propeller's general appearance is similar to the wood propeller, but the sections are generally thinner.
Additionally, metal propellers offer significant advantages to wood propellers. Aluminum alloy makes these incredibly strong and durable propellers. Metal propellers today are heat treated to enhance their natural properties and make them less prone to warping from heat or cold.
Today, it isn't easy to find an airplane propeller made of anything but metal, for a good reason!
Wooden Propellers
Before World War II, personal and business aircraft almost exclusively used wooden propellers.
It's important to note that a wood propeller is not cut from a solid block.
A wood propeller is several separate layers of carefully selected and prepared wood. The most common woods used in making these now-vintage wooden propellers were black walnut, sugar maple, yellow birch, and black cherry.
The use of lamination of wood will reduce the tendency for the propeller to warp. For standard one-piece wood propellers, five to nine separate laminations, about ¾-inch thick each, are used.
Because of the advancements in crafting metal propellers, wooden propellers are not common today.
Ground-Adjustable Propeller
The function of ground-adjustable propellers is similar to that of fixed-pitch aircraft propellers. The pitch, or angle, can only be changed when the propeller is not rotating.
A clamping mechanism holds the propeller blade in place. Loosening this mechanism allows the angle to be changed.
After tightening the clamping mechanism, the propellers' pitch cannot be changed in flight to meet varying flight requirements. With such limitations, present-day airplanes don't commonly use the ground-adjustable propellers.
Reverse-Pitch Propellers
Additional refinements, such as reverse-pitch propellers (mainly used on turboprops), are included in some propellers to improve their operational characteristics. Almost all reverse-pitch propellers are of the feathering type.
A reverse-pitch propeller is a controllable propeller in which the pilot can change the angle to a negative value during operation. The reversible pitch feature aims to produce a negative angle that has thrust opposite the normal forward direction.
Typically, when the landing gear is in contact with the runway after landing, the pilot can move the propellers to a negative pitch (reversed), which creates thrust opposite the aircraft direction and slows the aircraft. As the propeller moves into a negative angle, engine power is applied to increase the negative thrust.
The negative pitch aerodynamically brakes the plane and reduces ground roll after landing. Reversing the propellers also reduces aircraft speed quickly on the runway just after touchdown and minimizes aircraft brake wear.
A reversible pitch aims to create a negative angle to manufacture thrust in the opposite direction held previously. Propellers may be repositioned to a negative pitch after the plane has landed to come to a complete stop.
Reversible pitch propellers are also used on floatplanes to allow the plane to be backed out of the docking area.
Test Club Propeller
A test club propeller tests and breaks in reciprocating engines. They provide the correct amount of load on the engine during the test break-in period.
The multi-blade design also has the advantage of providing extra cooling airflow during testing.

Types of Propellers : Constant-Speed, Controllable-Pitch, & Feathering
No Comments on Types of Propellers : Constant-Speed, Controllable-Pitch, & Feathering
small airplane flying well
When the Wright brothers first dreamt of the aerodynamics of flight, their designs looked different from planes today. We're going to look more in-depth at varying types of aircraft propellers used on present-day aircraft.
The propeller is the airplane part that converts rotational energy generated by its power into propulsive force. Propellers are an essential part of any aircraft. Without them, an airplane cannot fly. It's imperative that, when choosing propellers for your plane, you take all of the conditions of operation into consideration. These include takeoff, climb, cruising, and high speed.
Today, there are many types of aircraft propellers available. The simplest of these propellers is either the fixed-pitch or the ground-adjustable propeller. More complicated propellers include controllable-pitch and complex constant-speed systems (automatic systems).
Stockton Propeller employs the experts in propeller repair. If you need to have your propellers inspected or overhauled, look no further than Stockton Propeller!
But first, let's peek at some of the most common types of propellers – and their differences.
Constant-Speed Propellers
The constant-speed propeller utilizes a hydraulically- or electrically-operated pitch-changing mechanism controlled by the governor. The pilot, using the RPM lever in the cockpit, adjusts the setting of the governor. During operation, the constant-speed propeller will automatically change its angle to maintain constant engine speed. If engine power increases, the blade angle increases, allowing the propeller to absorb the additional energy while RPM remains constant. The same goes for the reverse. If the engine power decreases, the angle decreases, making the propellers take less air, steadying engine RPMs. The pilot selects the engine speed required for any particular type of operation.
Constant-speed propellers increase angle when the airplane dives and decrease angle when it climbs. These changes are due to the flight's changing load. As such, the governor tries to keep the RPM constant. The propeller's governor is the mechanism that allows a constant-speed propeller to work. A propeller governor senses the aircraft's speed and changes the propeller's angle to maintain a specific RPM. This change is accomplished by increasing or decreasing the oil pressure going to the propeller. A governor doesn't consider the aircraft's operational conditions.
As the plane goes into a dive, the propeller's angle increases. This increase prevents overspeeding, and the power output doesn't change – since there is no change to the throttle settings. The reverse happens during a climb. The governor will decrease the blade angle to keep the rpm at the desired setting.
High-quality constant-speed propeller systems respond to small variations to ensure constant engine RPM stays consistent throughout the flight.
Each constant-speed propeller needs an opposing force that operates against the governor's oil pressure.
Multi engine and aerobatic propellers use counterweights mounted to the propeller blade to move in the high-pitch direction as the propeller turns. Some also use air pressure and springs to move the blades toward high pitch. Oil pressure from the governor will move the blades toward low pitch.
Most single engine propellers use springs and an aerodynamic twisting moment to move the blades toward low pitch and oil pressure to move the blades to high pitch.
Controllable-Pitch Propellers
As the name suggests, the pilot can change a controllable-pitch propeller's pitch or angle during flight while the propeller is still running. The advantage of this is the alteration of the propeller's angle to meet flight conditions. The pilot can change the propeller's pitch in flight or operate the engine using a pitch-changing mechanism operated hydraulically or electrically.
The controllable-pitch propeller allows for a change of angle while the propeller is still rotating. This change enables the propeller to assume an angle that gives particular flight conditions the best performance. The pitch positions may be limited in number, as they are with a two-position controllable propeller. Or the pilot can adjust the pitch to any angle between the minimum and maximum setting. The use of controllable-pitch propellers makes it possible to attain the desired engine RPM for any particular flight condition.
It is easy to confuse these controllable-pitch propellers with constant-speed propellers, but the two are very different.
Controllable-pitch propellers allow the propeller angle to be changed while the propeller is turning. But, the propeller must be changed manually by the pilot. The propeller's angle will not change until the pilot alters it manually. The pitch on a constant-speed propeller can change automatically.
With the controllable-pitch propeller, the pilot changes the angle directly in flight. The angle will not change automatically, only when the pilot manually changes it.
Feathering Propellers
Multi-engine aircraft use feathering propellers, reducing propeller drag to a minimum under engine failure conditions. A feathering propeller is a type of constant-speed propeller used on multi-engine aircraft.
Feathering propellers have a mechanism to change the pitch to an angle of approximately 90 degrees. Usually, a propeller is feathered when the engine fails to produce the power needed to turn the propeller. By angling the propeller parallel to the direction of flight, the drag on the aircraft reduces. With the propellers parallel to the flight line, the propeller stops turning, and minimum windmilling, if any, occurs.
Almost all small feathering propellers use oil pressure to take the propeller to a low pitch, while counterweights, springs, and compressed air take the propellers to a high pitch. Since the propellers would go to the feathered position during a shutdown, latches lock the propeller in the low-pitch position as the propeller slows down at shutdown. These can be external or internal, within the propeller hub. Centrifugal force holds the latches during a routine flight to ensure they don't stop the propellers from feathering. Latches prevent excess load on the engine and starter at startup. If the propeller were in the feathered position during an engine start, it would place the engine under an undue burden during a time when the engine is already subject to wear.

Constant-speed, controllable-pitch, feathering… There's no need to be overwhelmed at all of the different types of aircraft propellers! (Besides, we haven't even covered all of them yet.)

UN Global Climate Poll: 'The People's Voice is Clear – They Want Action'
by Earth.Org Africa Americas Asia Europe Oceania Jan 29th 20214 mins
The biggest ever opinion poll on climate change has found two-thirds of people think it is a "global emergency". The survey shows people across the world support climate action and gives politicians a clear mandate to take the major action needed, according to the UN organisation that carried out the global poll.
The UN Development Programme (UNDP) questioned 1.2 million people in 50 countries, many of them young.
While younger people showed the greatest concern, with 69% of those aged 14-18 saying there is a climate emergency, 58% of those over 60 agreed, suggesting there is not a huge generational divide.

Climate Crisis - What can I do?
Switch from Passive to Active
Even when climate action required significant changes in their own country, majorities still backed the measures.
In nations where fossil fuels are a major source of emissions, people strongly supported renewable energy, including the US (65% in favour), Australia (76%) and Russia (51%).
Where the destruction of forests is a big cause of emissions, people supported conservation of trees, with 60% support in Brazil and 57% in Indonesia.
Overall, the most popular actions to tackle the climate crisis were protecting and restoring forests, followed by renewable energy and climate-friendly farming. The promotion of plant-based diets was the least popular of the 18 policies in the survey, with only 30% support.
Gender was a factor in some countries, with at least 5% more men and boys saying there is a climate emergency than women and girls in 16 countries. However, in four nations – the US, Australia, Canada and the UK – significantly more women and girls were concerned about global heating.
The UNDP ran the "Peoples' Climate Vote" in 50 high-, middle- and low-income countries, representing more than half the world's people. Experts at Oxford University weighted the replies to reflect the population of each nation.
"The voice of the people is clear – they want action on climate change," said Cassie Flynn, the UNDP's strategic adviser on climate change.
"If 64% of the world's people are believing in a climate emergency then it helps governments to respond to the climate crisis as an emergency.
"The key message is that, as governments are making these high-stakes decisions, the people are with them."
Flynn said the survey connects the climate concerns of people, particularly the young, with governments at a time when accelerated action must be agreed, in particular at a UN climate summit in November. The climate crisis continued unabated in 2020, with the joint highest global temperatures on record.
"We are at a fork in the road and the poll says 'this is how your future generations are thinking, in specific policy choices' – it brings a way to envision the future," she said.

Flynn heads the UNDP's Climate Promise programme that helps countries take more ambitious climate action.
The UN global climate poll found the highest proportion of people saying there is a climate emergency was in the UK and Italy, both at 81%. Australia was at 72% and the US at 65%, the same as Russia, and India was at 59%. Even the lowest proportion, in Moldova, was 50%.
The relatively low support for the promotion of plant-based diets may be because there are few plant-based options in some countries or people may have felt that diet is more of a personal choice, said the UNDP. Support was highest in Germany (44%) and the UK (43%).
The reason why more men and boys said there was a climate emergency than women and girls in countries such as Nigeria and Vietnam may be because girls have less access to education in those places.
The poll found that the more education a person had completed, the more likely they were to think there is a climate emergency. Why more women and girls are more concerned in the four English-speaking nations is unclear.
The poll was distributed via advertisements in video games and puzzles, including Angry Birds, Subway Surfers, Sudoku and Words With Friends, and this particularly helped reach younger people.
The idea came to Flynn when she was on the subway in New York City: "I looked around and everyone was on their phones and most were playing games."
The data was collected between October and December 2020 and, despite the coronavirus pandemic, 59% of the people saying there is a climate emergency also said the world should "do everything necessary and urgently" in response.
Prof Stephen Fisher at Oxford University said: "The Peoples' Climate Vote has delivered a treasure trove of data on public opinion that we've never seen before. Recognition of the climate emergency is much more widespread than previously thought."

Open Access and the Power of Editorial Boards: Why Elsevier Plays Hardball with Deviant Linguists
The few open access journals that managed to acquire substantial prestige such as some of Public Library of Science (PLoS) journals did so mostly because of the very high prestige of founding editors, including nobel laureates. It is also the reason why simply calling for researchers to switch to open access outlets won't work. Since careers and funding depend on the proven ability to publish in established "top journals", researchers in general and early-career researchers in particular have strong incentives to avoid newly founded open access outlets. But there are groups of people that could make a difference: journal editors and their editorial review boards. A huge part of a journal's reputation is effectively derived from its editors. If the whole editorial board of a prestigious journal decided to collectivley leave this journal behind and open up a new one, it's very likely that this new journal would outperform the journal they had left behind.

In Solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-hub
daveh70 04 Dec 2015
We find ourselves at a decisive moment. This is the time to recognize that the very existence of our massive knowledge commons is an act of collective civil disobedience. It is the time to emerge from hiding and put our names behind this act of resistance. You may feel isolated, but there are many of us. The anger, desperation and fear of losing our library infrastructures, voiced across the internet, tell us that. This is the time for us custodians, being dogs, humans or cyborgs, with our names, nicknames and pseudonyms, to raise our voices. Share this letter - read it in public - leave it in the printer. Share your writing - digitize a book - upload your files. Don't let our knowledge be crushed. Care for the libraries - care for the metadata - care for the backup. Water the flowers - clean the volcanoes.
In Elsevier's case against Sci-Hub and Library Genesis, the judge said: "simply making copyrighted content available for free via a foreign website, disserves the public interest"
The copyrighted material in question is academic research, much of which is paid for by public funds. This judge is confusing "public" with "publishing companies". How much has the academic journal scam cost the public?

Why Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu?
daveh70 26 Nov 2015
With over 36 million visitors each month, the San Francisco-based platform-capitalist company Academia.edu is hugely popular with researchers. Its founder and CEO Richard Price maintains it is the 'largest social-publishing network for scientists', and 'larger than all its competitors put together'. Yet posting on Academia.edu is far from being ethically and politically equivalent to using an institutional open access repository, which is how it is often understood by academics. Academia.edu's financial rationale rests on the ability of the venture-capital-funded professional entrepreneurs who run it to monetize the data flows generated by researchers. Academia.edu can thus be seen to have a parasitical relationship to a public education system from which state funding is steadily being withdrawn.

(Sports Network) - Consecutive rallies have given the Hurricanes their first three-game winning streak of the season, while the Ducks were unable to dig themselves out of an early hole last time out to extend their string of victories. Anaheim takes aim at a third straight victory over Carolina this evening at RBC Center. The Ducks opened a seven-game road trip with an overtime victory in Washington on Wednesday and figured to have an easier time of things the following night on Long Island. Facing an Islanders team that had lost 20 of its previous 21 games, Anaheim was tagged for three goals in a 99-second span in the first period and never recovered in a 3-2 loss.
Curtis McElhinney stopped nine of the 12 shots he faced in the start before being lifted for Jonas Hiller, who turned aside all 17 shots he faced in the game. Joffrey Lupul and Jason Blake both scored and had an assist in the loss, which snapped a three-game win streak. "The first period was tough," Blake said of New York's scoring burst. "They scored quick goals on us ... I thought we did some great things in the second and third period."
The Ducks, who are one point back of Pacific Division-leading Dallas, played without winger Teemu Selanne for a fourth straight game due to a nagging groin injury. Carolina wrapped a five-game road trip 3-1-1 thanks to a pair of comebacks over Florida and Carolina. The Hurricanes erased a 3-0 deficit to beat the Panthers on Wednesday, then rallied from two goals down to top the Thrashers, 3-2, in a shootout the following night.
Brandon Sutter and Eric Staal scored in the third period and Sergei Samsonov had the winner in the shootout. Cam Ward ended with 45 saves in the victory. "It was a great effort from everyone," said Staal. "Obviously you never want to get behind, especially in this league. Unfortunately we did the last two games. But we found a way to battle back and stay competitive and stay with our game plan and get a win."
Carolina did lose Jiri Tlusty for the next few games due to an upper-body injury and 21-year-old Zach Boychuk is expected to replace him in the lineup. The former 2008 first-round pick has 10 goals and 22 assists in 28 games this year in the American Hockey League. The Ducks earned their sixth victory in their last nine versus the 'Canes with last year's 3-2 home win. Selanne had the game-winning goal and an assist in that one, while Sutter had one of Carolina's goals.
Neither Ward nor Hiller got the start in last year's lone meeting. Anaheim has won three of its last four at Carolina.

It's been an incredible summer for grapes. They love it hot and dry. There is much less disease this way. I got a hold of enough grapes to make two batches of jelly. I decided to do one traditional Sure-Jell Premium Fruit Pectin jelly and then for my second I tried Sure-Jell Pectin for Less or No Sugar Needed Recipe. Now I can show you how the two types of pectin compare and whether or not the low sugar pectin is worth trying.
I followed the recipes as exactly as I could in my home kitchen so that this could be a true side by side comparison.
The methods for both recipes were almost identical. The only difference was adding a quarter cup of sugar in with the pectin packet to the cold juice for the low sugar pectin recipe instead of waiting for the juice to come to a full rolling boil to add all the sugar like you do in the traditional pectin recipe.
From what I understand traditional pectin binds the acid of the fruit to the sugar which is why you need an exact amount of sugar while the low-sugar pectin binds to the calcium so the quantity of sugar doesn't matter as much. In fact, there is even a recipe in the box for substituting in Splenda™ if you are into that kind of thing. I hear stevia also works.
Be careful if you have hard water there could be calcium in there and you could wind up with jelly that is too stiff when using the low sugar pectin. Also low sugar jelly must be processed in a boiling water canner or frozen for long term storage as sugar is a preservative and since there is less sugar the jelly will mold more easily.
If I get out my calculator, that equals the low sugar grape recipe is about 1/3 the calories and sugar of the traditional recipe.
Both jellies set up well. By looking I could tell the difference between a spoonful of one or the other. When I looked really close the traditional pectin set-up with slightly firmer edges and is lighter in color.
The jellies do have slightly different flavors. Both of them are plenty sweet in my book. The low sugar jelly tastes more like grape juice, while the traditional pectin tastes like my grandma's jelly. The low sugar reminds me of a grape Jell-o shot without the alcohol. Both are excellent.
If I had to choose between the two, I would go for the Sure-Jell Pectin for Less or No Sugar Needed Recipe. I like that it has fewer calories and the purer grape flavor.
My sister recently brought to my attention that jelly can be made with no added pectin at all. Simply use the fruit's natural pectin to thicken the preserve by boiling down the juice. She's been trying it out and says is not as fool proof as store bought pectin and it doesn't gel as hard, but it works. It involves using a technique called sheeting to tell when it is done or a candy thermometer. The next time I make jelly I'll have to give that a try.
I know there are lots of other options out there to make jams and jellies. What do you use?
hmmmm I skip all that sure jell nonsense and go straight to Pomona Pectin--it's SUPER cheap and you can use no or low sugar or make your own recipes up even--you can buy it in bulk and make pure fruit jelly and jam without paying for all that sugar or little boxes of sure jell--I like to see the comparison posts!
We must have different grapes. My grapes did ok, but they are much smaller than they have been in years past. It's frustrating to me because I think they are already so much work. Make them smaller and it seems to double the work... ;-) But I will still make grape jelly. Next week. And I also prefer low sugar pectin.
Here in Indiana the grapes are doing well. One of the few things that doesn't mind the drought weather. I've got Concords for the record. What do you have?
I have grapes on my farm (Upstate NY), but they did AWFUL this year :( Sad news for me. Have you tried making your own natural pectin out of apples and lemon? I do this, and it sets jams/jellies perfectly w/o having to add sugar to bind it. Like @Laura said, Pomona's doesn't require sugar because is binds to the calcium.
Pomona's must be the original Low Sugar Pectin! That's what this Sure-Jell stuff does too, binds to the calcium. It's probably way cheaper too. This was $2.99 a box on sale.
I've been reading about making pectin out of crab apples or quince. I'll have to see if someone has a tree they will let me harvest! I hadn't heard about adding lemon. Although it makes since if pectin works by binding sugar and acid.
an entire pound is 50 dollars and one ounce makes 4 batches of jam (4 cups of fruit) so it's pretty much AWESOME!
I planted 3 grapevines (one Concord, one Merlot and one Chardonnay) in my backyard (in Colorado Springs, CO) about 10 years ago and the Concord is the only one to ever produce any grapes until this year! All 3 of them have grapes now. I'm very excited!
I made grape jelly out of the Concords for the first time last year. Woah! I had enough grapes out of one vine to do 22 jelly jars of jelly and had a gallon of juice leftover that I just watered down and let my daughter drink. I made about 10 jars with the regular pectin and all the sugar. The pectin didn't set very well and the jelly is way too sweet. The rest of the jars I did with the low sugar pectin, half with no sweetener added at all and half with about 1 cup of Xylitol. Both worked out very well and everyone I've given them to prefers the jelly without any sweetener because Concord grapes are so sweet naturally.
I also made some pepper jelly for holiday gifts and followed the recipe exactly, using the right amount of sugar and the regular pectin and it didn't set at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the regular pectin, but I think I'll just stick with the low sugar stuff and experiment.
Where can I buy the Pomona pectin in bulk? I just bought a box on Vitacost because it was really inexpensive compared to others, but they didn't have it in bulk.
Anyone know if there's a place to buy cheese cloth in bulk? I used a ton last year and it was really expensive at the grocery store.
If you bought a pound of Pomona then you did buy in bulk when you consider 2 ounces is enough for one recipe!
I didn't buy a pound. It was a 1 oz box.
Pomona's Pectin is available in bulk at the Pomona Pectin website: www.pomonapectin.com.
I have also tried this, most recently with muscadine jelly, and I found the low sugar to be so much more runny. It never seemed to set quite right.
Great post and I will be bookmarking this one for future reference. Hope you are having a fabulous weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Great tips! I try cutting back on the sugar I use as well when I make jam. Thanks for linking up to Snacktime Saturday!
Thanks for the side-by-side. I have made each type, but never at the same time, so I've never had a really objective comparison.
1) This year I had so much fruit that I purchased bulk pectin from Pacific Pectin (to find them, just Google "pacific pectin.") The initial cost is much more than buying a few boxes at the supermarket, but the cost per batch of jelly is waaaay less. They have regular and low sugar, and a zillion other varieties as well. I have a ton left over which I have put in the freezer for next year. It should last several years in the freezer.
2) Every time I do a no-pectin recipe I regret it. Somehow I keep forgetting that I regret it, and will get talked into doing it again. This year I did a lot of plum jam. The recipes I was looking at all talked about how much pectin there is in plums, so no added pectin is required. The problem is that a "job" that should have taken me a couple hours, took 2 days. To get it to work, you have to drive out much of the water from the fruit (plus any added liquid.) Further, you want to cook it low and slow so as not to burn the fruit, and you need to stir it so it wont scorch on the bottom. So, for 2 gallons of plums I was cooking and stirring for something like 6 hours (which I did over two days.) The end result was dark and thick and tasted more like unidentifiable-caramelized-fruit than like plums. So, I am not planning any more no-pectin preserves. If you do try it, I look forward to reading your impressions.
PS: If you care to see my adventures with orange marmalade you can find it on my blog or via Punk Domestics.
What an interesting comparison. I haven't made jam since I was little (I need to remedy that) but I've always wondered about Low Sugar Pectin. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at The Hearth and Soul Hop. I think both your grape jellies look absolutely scrumptious!
Nice experiment! I was wanting to make grape jelly this year but I think I may have missed the window. I usually make jam without pectin, but on occasion I use it. And though I've only done it once, the other option is to use apple puree (really, just applesauce) to make "homemade pectin." You need a bit extra time to pre-make the applesauce, but it's neat to do--and I got a great yield (something I don't always get as I do the "boiling the juice down" method).
I know that this is a year old but I wanted to address the question above about where to get cheesecloth in bulk. Go to any fabric store! They sell it by the yard (45" wide if memory serves. You can get the obnoxious loose-weave gauzy stuff that you have to use in multiple layers and doesn't wash well for reuse, or you can get the REAL original cheesecloth - unbleached cotton muslin. It usually costs under $2 per yard and you can use it over and over again, many many times. Wash it with a low-residue detergent and no fabric softener, dry it on hot and cut it into manageable size pieces (12" square is good for lining an average colander, 24"ish - half the fabric width - is better for hanging yogurt for cheese or fruit for jelly). I just used pinking shears to keep it from ravelling. Before each use dunk it in boiling water for a few minutes, let it cool and wring it out. If you feel like you have to use bleach,rinse at least twice. It will stain but so what. You will get many years' use out of it.

Hong Kong celebrates Bruce Lee's life and legacy
Shannon Lee was only four when her father, Bruce Lee, died
By Juliana Liu
BBC News, Hong Kong
The world knows him as Bruce Lee, the cool and cocksure Chinese-American martial artist who unexpectedly burst into global cinematic consciousness in the early 1970s.
He starred in only five feature films as an adult, and only three of them were released before his early death in Hong Kong at the age of 32.
But fascination with his life, philosophy and legacy remains, crossing the barriers of age and nationality.
Starting on Saturday, Hong Kong will mark the 40th anniversary of Lee's death by opening a five-year exhibition at the Heritage Museum celebrating the achievements of the city's biggest star.
"I think that actually the reason we are still taking about Bruce Lee today, and not in a nostalgic way but in a relevant way, is because of the depth of his experience and his philosophy and the authenticity of his life," said Shannon Lee, his only daughter.
"If he just performed well in a few action films, without all that underneath it, then I don't think we would continue to be as relevant and inspiring today."
'Strong and playful'
Ms Lee is head of the US-based Bruce Lee Foundation, which has lent hundreds of items to the exhibition.

Among the 600 items on display are the famous yellow track suit Bruce Lee wore in the film Game of Death, his poetry written in English, family photos and a notebook containing the award-winning cha cha dancer's routines.
Ms Lee, who was only four years old when her father passed away after an allergic reaction to pain medication, says her recollections of him are vague.
"My memories are very much like glimpses. What I remember most is the feeling of him. I remember this amazingly safe and strong and playful and loving energy that he had. I can still feel it, you know?"
Her father was born in San Francisco in 1940, the year of the dragon, to parents visiting from Hong Kong.
The family returned to the then British colony when baby Bruce was only a few months old.
He became a child actor who excelled in the physical arts, including the wing chun style of kung fu and Latin dance.
But he was not considered academically talented, so he was sent back to the US after he turned 18.
During university, Bruce Lee taught Chinese martial arts. He married one of his students, Linda.
The young family moved to California, where Bruce eventually landed a TV series, the Green Hornet.
'Charismatic and sexy'
Lee returned to Asia after limited success in Hollywood
After limited success and significant disappointment as an Asian man fighting for roles in Hollywood, Lee decided to return to Hong Kong.
The struggling actor's first film as an adult, The Big Boss, was a surprise hit across Asia. Bruce Lee mania was born.
Jeff Yang, a Chinese-American author who has written extensively about Hong Kong cinema, believes Lee was a transformative figure for Chinese and Asian men in particular.
"He demonstrated to non-Asians that Asian men could be strong, charismatic and sexy. That they could own the screen and command box office dollars and the cultural spotlight," he said.
"And while it's taken decades longer for others to be given the same opportunity, there isn't an Asian or Asian American actor today who doesn't acknowledge the debt they have to Lee for opening people's minds to the potential of Asian men."
'Empty your mind'
Lewis Luk, a long-time practitioner of the martial arts style that Bruce Lee developed, agrees, saying the actor won international respect for Chinese people with his courage, flair and physical strength.
"He was a rebel. He combined the East and the West in martial arts instead of following classical forms, and he won respect for Chinese people around the world," he said.
The middle-aged lawyer is one of the instructors at a gym in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui neighbourhood, which was once one of the actor's former residences.
Shannon Lee was only four when Bruce Lee died
A group of martial artists practices Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, which roughly translates as the way of the intercepting fist, there twice a week.
Two of the younger practitioners, Adrian Li and Davide Silipo, describe themselves as Lee fanatics. They have tattooed their idol's sayings onto their bodies.
To them, Lee was a teacher of life who emphasised the importance of self-reliance and adaptability.
They try to incorporate one of Lee's popular sayings in their practice: "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Now, if you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. You put it in a teapot and it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or creep or drip or crash. Be water, my friend."
'Mental block'
Such is the devotion the actor continues to inspire that fans in the city are asking why the government has failed to establish a permanent museum dedicated to his memory.
Lee's famous yellow track suit is on display
"Bruce Lee transcends nationality, gender, ethnicity, religion and cultural differences," said Hew Kuan Yau, a Malaysian and committee member of Hong Kong's Bruce Lee Club.
"I don't know why the government doesn't fully recognise his contributions to Hong Kong and the world. Maybe they have some mental block because he was a fighter and not just a scholar."
A businessman who owns the Lee family's former home in the Kowloon Tong district offered in 2008 to donate the space in order to set up a permanent memorial hall.
But he and the government were unable to agree on the terms of the deal. The talks broke down two years ago and the exhibit at the Heritage Museum was devised.
The businessman, Yu Panglin, has been quoted as saying he planned to sell the property for $23m (£15m).
So instead of a permanent museum, fans can visit Bruce Lee's statue on the Avenue of the Stars and the Bruce Lee Club house, both in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighbourhood, a new painting exhibition at an art gallery in the Wanchai area and the Heritage Museum in the New Territories.

Q: Is it possible to read part of worksheet of very large excel file (>500000 records) via closedXml? Problem with opening a large EXCEL file.
For example, when I declare XLWorkbook, it's going to load ALL data to this object. I decided to read it partly, because, it's returned an error: outOfMemory. Is it possible to read part with range? Is there any more methods?
Sample:
using ClosedXML.Excel;
public void FileOpen(string path)
{
   var workBook = new XLWorkbook(path);
// . . .
}

A: You can use a good ole' OleDbAdapter to select a given range of rows. See an example below where I select the first 10,000 rows (from the sheet "Sheet1") and then later another set of 10,000 rows from an excel file :
    DataSet excelDataSet = new DataSet();
    using (OleDbConnection connection = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString))
    {
         connection.Open();
         OleDbDataAdapter cmd = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$1:10000]", connection);
         cmd.Fill(excelDataSet);

...

         OleDbDataAdapter cmd = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$10000:20000]", connection);
         connection.Close();
    }


After the 1997/1998 Southwestern European Regional Contest (which was held in Ulm) a large contest party took place. The organization team invented a special mode of choosing those participants that were to assist with washing the dirty dishes. The contestants would line up in a queue, one behind the other. Each contestant got a number starting with 2 for the first one, 3 for the second one, 4 for the third one, and so on, consecutively.
The first contestant in the queue was asked for his number (which was 2). He was freed from the washing up and could party on, but every second contestant behind him had to go to the kitchen (those with numbers 4, 6, 8, etc). Then the next contestant in the remaining queue had to tell his number. He answered 3 and was freed from assisting, but every third contestant behind him was to help (those with numbers 9, 15, 21, etc). The next in the remaining queue had number 5 and was free, but every fifth contestant behind him was selected (those with numbers 19, 35, 49, etc). The next had number 7 and was free, but every seventh behind him had to assist, and so on.
Let us call the number of a contestant who does not need to assist with washing up a lucky number. Continuing the selection scheme, the lucky numbers are the ordered sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etc. Find out the lucky numbers to be prepared for the next contest party.
The input contains several test cases. Each test case consists of an integer n. You may assume that 1 <= n <= 3000. A zero follows the input for the last test case.
For each test case specified by n output on a single line the n-th lucky number.
I tried a lot but couldn't perform better than 0.02s. Any Suggestions by those who got 0.00s. Thanks in Advance.
use sieve==>bruteforce... ;) AC yay!
AC using a sieve. I tried for 5 minutes but could not think of an O(1) solution or a formula. Is O(1) possible ?
