Q: Particular SOAP webservice request results in ECONNRESET exception using Datanoise SOAP gem for Ruby/Rails I have a datanoise action-webservice implemented SOAP rails webservice which interacts with another SOAP webservice by posting XML SOAP requests to the third-party URL:
open("http://localhost:8080/generateResponse?xmlRequest="+CGI.escape(soapRQ.result(binding).gsub("\n","")))

Periodically this results in an exception (stacktrace below). I just cant understand what triggers this ECONNRESET:

94.1 percent success rate with its smoking cessation program (for all who completed their four week program during 2012).
This is — by far — the best success rate of any smoking cessation program published in Michigan, using any method, according to our fact-check internet survey of published success rates.
Nationally, according to the Schmidt Study, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology (Oct. 1992) hypnosis is by far the number one method for smoking cessation. By comparison according to the American Cancer Society (Aug. 2012) cold turkey has a 3.5 percent success rate.
According to the Shiffman "Real World" study, published in the Journal Addiction (May 2002) the gums and patchesaveragea7percentsuccess rate. They are truthful when they say they double the cold turkey rate. But even then, it's still inconsequential.
According to the Nicotine & Tobacco Research Journal (June, 2011), Chantix has a 14 percent success rate. Not only is that a bad number, but users report has all sorts of nightmarish side effects.
Why is Tomlinson so much more successful? In his work, he identified a psychological malady characteristic of smokers. Once this difficulty is uncovered using a simple test and corrected, it is much easier to stop smoking, as our four session, 94.1 percent success rate suggests.
As an aside, New Scientist Magazine says one time, group hypnosis has a 20 percent success rate.

Homiletix » Preaching at the CrossroadsBy David J. Lose (Fortress, 2013).
Preaching at the CrossroadsBy David J. Lose (Fortress, 2013).
David J. Lose is President of Luther Seminary at Philadelphia where he also teaches preaching.
He has thought long and hard about postmodernism and preaching. And you can tell from the books he has written: they are thoughtful, reflective, and farsighted. This one is no exception.
As the title suggests, Lose thinks (and I agree) that preaching is at a crossroads, especially in this "post-Christian" world (5). He puts his finger on the pulse of the change that has happened in the last five decades: postmodernism (How do we know for sure anything is true?), secularism (Who said truth is rooted in God?), and pluralism (What's so distinctive about Christianity?). Having admitted the patient (preaching) for observation, Lose, like a good physician proceeds to diagnose the three ailments in turn and treat the invalid. So the book comes with a chapter for the diagnosis and a chapter for the therapeutics of each of three afflictions—six chapters in all.
So far so good. Now how do we treat the condition?
Lose wants us to tell "the sacred story as vividly and clearly as possible in order to render the Christian narrative as a three-dimensional worldview that seems a viable alternative to our people in light of the other stories" (24). This is where I started to get lost: What "story" or "world view" (or metanarrative) is this? The story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? The story of Jesus and the disciples? All of the above? This didn't help: "If the Christian faith is, among other things, a grand narrative or worldview that attempts to make sense of all of our lives, then theological doctrines are the signposts and markers along the narrative route" (27). Where do "theological doctrines" fit into the "narrative"? In other places, Lose seems to agree with "the Reformers' insistence … that Christians invariably read the whole of Scripture in light of the confession that the crucified Jesus of Nazareth is also the resurrected Christ" (38–39). So is it a christocentric "story" that Lose is referring to?
In short, Lose makes a good diagnosis—postmodernism. But I am not clear about the prescription.
The second disease he isolates is secularism, a loss of confidence in the transcendent science had something to do with it. As the body of scientific knowledge grew, the place for God seemingly shrank, since we can now explain lots of things—from hurricanes to heart failure, from silicon chips to synapses—all without recourse to God. God and faith have now been "relegated to the private and personal dimensions of our life" (53).
And the treatment for secularism? Since the problem is a loss of hope for the present and for the future (66), Lose wants preachers to cultivate hope in congregants by focusing on their vocations, to give them a sense of the transcendent in the mundane tasks of the world. Lose suggests visiting people in their vocational arenas, describing those visits in sermons, preaching about the ordinary lives of ordinary people (in illustrations and such); having folks give testimonies of God working in ordinary lives (73–77). I see the connection, but I'm not convinced that is the answer to secularism.
Again, nice diagnosis. But I am not sure the pill works.
According to Lose, church folk are "[b]ereft of this primary narrative to supply a religious identity" (101). So, he asserts, the treatment is preaching based on Web 2.0, interaction: "participatory preaching" (105)—"a homiletic that invites, nurtures, and expects a lively interaction between hearer and text" (106). And here are his suggestions (107–110): visit people in the venues of their vocations; invite congregations to look for biblical message they heard interpreted, in their daily lives; invite participation in sermon, both nonverbally and verbally; etc.
Again we have an interesting diagnosis, but the medicine does not seem tailored for the disease.
Moreover, the three diagnoses do not seem to be discrete diseases but symptoms of the same disease. And to me, the disease seems to be not as much with the world and people, as with us preachers ourselves—our anemic understanding of what the biblical "story" is. I wish someone would tell me what that is.


Euthanasia Prevention Coalition Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: Euthanasia in Belgium: Data on the social experiment.
Euthanasia in Belgium: Data on the social experiment.
This article was published by Mercatornet on August 29, 2018.
The report is currently only available in French and Dutch. However, in this article, with the help of Google Translate the information from 2016 and 2017 has been extracted.
Overall, the impression is that euthanasia practice in Belgium continues on the path of normalising euthanasia as the go-to response to an ever increasing range of circumstances including children with disabilities, uncompleted suicides and victims of child abuse.
=Belgian 2017 euthanasia report. Deaths by euthanasia continue to increase and children are being killed.
Deaths by legal euthanasia have increased nearly tenfold (982%) from 235 in 2003 – the first full year of legalisation – to 2,309 in 2017. From 2016 to 2017 alone the increase was 13.85%. Officially reported euthanasia accounted for 2.1% of all deaths in Belgium in 2017.
The 2016-2017 report notes that some patients wish to donate their organs and help others in this way. Doctors are not required to mention organ donation in the document recording. Organ donation has been reported in 8 patients for the years 2016 - 2017. Patients had either a nervous system disorder or a mental and behavioral disorder. The majority of them were Dutch speakers, aged 50 to 69, female and their deaths were not expected in the near future.
In 2017 there were 375 cases of reported euthanasia of people whose deaths were not expected in the near future. This represents 16.2% of all cases of reported euthanasia.
In 2017 there were 181 cases of reported euthanasia for "polypathology" – two or more conditions none of which in itself is sufficient ground for euthanasia - where death was not expected soon, accounting for 7.83% of all reported cases. This represents a 69.1% increase in just two years from 2015.
In 2017 some 87 (3.76%) cases involved no physical suffering at all. This included 14 cancer cases and 15 other cases of physical illness. There were also 18 cases of "polypathology" as well as 40 cases of mental ill health.
The psychic suffering, apart from psychiatric conditions, included "addiction, loss of autonomy, loneliness, despair, loss of dignity, despair at the thought of losing ability to maintain social contacts, etc.".
Luc Proot, a member of the Belgium's Federal Euthanasia Evaluation and Control Commission, commented to Charles Lane of the Washington Post that he "saw mental and physical suffering so overwhelming that I thought we did a good thing" As Lane points out, he is referring to the Committee approving the cases after the fact based on reports from the doctors who carried out the killing. It is curious that Proot refers to "mental and physical suffering" when the Belgian law specifically refers only to "unbearable physical suffering" in relation to children -- in contrast to a reference to "unbearable physical or psychological suffering" for adults. This comment raises a doubt in relation to each of these three cases of child euthanasia as to whether there was "unbearable physical suffering" that could not be alleviated.
Life expectancy for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) is increasing significantly in response to developments in treatment regimes. In the United States the median predicted age of survival for people with CF has now increased to 47 years. It is by no means clear that the 11-year-old child euthanased in Belgium in 2016 or 2017 was facing imminent death. He or she may have had years to live. Depression is also a particular issue with CF. The "mental suffering" mentioned by Luc Proot may have been relievable through appropriate treatment.
The 17-year-old child had Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). "Until relatively recently, boys with DMD usually did not survive much beyond their teen years. Thanks to advances in cardiac and respiratory care, life expectancy is increasing and many young adults with DMD attend college, have careers, get married and have children. Survival into the early 30s is becoming more common, and there are cases of men living into their 40s and 50s." On the available information it is not clear whether in this case the child was both imminently dying and experiencing unbearable physical suffering that could not be alleviated.
Between 2014 and 2017 two patients who were in an irreversible coma after a suicide attempt were euthanased based on an advance directive 5 months and 35 months respectively before the suicide attempt.
A total of 201 people with psychiatric disorders were killed by euthanasia in Belgium between 2014 and 2017 including for mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder (73 cases); organic mental disorders, including dementia and Alzheimer's (60 cases); personality and behavioural disorders (23 cases); neurotic disorders, and disorders related to stressors including posttraumatic stress disorder (16 cases); schizophrenia and psychotic disorders (11 cases); organic mental disorders, including autism (10 cases) and complex cases involving a combination of several categories (8 cases).
Belgium seems to be treating the victims of child abuse by domestic violence, neglect and sexual abuse by killing them.
Between 2014 and 2017 there were 60 cases of people killed by euthanasia for dementia. Of these cases death was only expected in the short term for 9 cases.
One case reported in 2016/2017 concerned an interruptive act of life without request from the patient.
In this complex case where the patient had not made an explicit request, some members of the Commission felt that the law on euthanasia had been violated and that the file should be sent to the public prosecutor. Indeed, demand is one of the essential legal conditions. However, other members considered that a referral to the prosecution was not appropriate. The two-thirds majority, legally required for referral to the King's Attorney (see Article 8 of the law) was not reached (9 for referral to the King's public prosecutor, 7 against).
This high threshold of two-thirds majority of the Commission for referral to the public prosecutor helps explain why only one case has ever been referred (in 2015).
The place of residence is only required to be reported in the second part of a euthanasia report filed by the doctor performing euthanasia. This part is only opened when questions arise. However, in 2016 and 2017 doctors did refer in the first part of the report to people who were foreigners who came to Belgium to seek euthanasia. There were 23 such cases reported in this way but there may be many more. Of the 23 reported cases "More than half of the deaths were expected in the near future" meaning several were cases where death was not expected in the short term.
Richard Egan has been observing international practice on euthanasia and assisted suicide for over 30 years. He blogs on this and related bioethical issues at defendhumanlife.blogspot.com.
A lengthier commentary on euthanasia in Belgium is available at the website of the Australian Care Alliance.

Q: Joomla : Showing related articles from a specific category I have articles under 'Projects', 'Services' and 'People' categories. I am displaying 'Related Articles' as a module on right side. It displays all related articles (based on tags) from all categories. I want to separate these related articles based on categories.
So, three modules (or one module with three categories) should appear in right side - 'Related Projects', 'Related Services' and 'Related People'. Possible?
I found one related question at https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/3618/module-to-show-all-articles-with-tag-and-in-a-category. However, it does not solve my problem

A: This module (RAXO Related Articles) can do exactly as you ask:
http://www.raxo.org/raxo-related-articles.html
Here you can flexibly manage from which categories you want to show Joomla related articles.
It can be current category - and the module automatically defines it and displays related items accordingly.
Or you can specify category or categories where the module should look for related articles.

Q: What's the recommended way to display errors from JavaScript (jQuery) in ASP.NET MVC 3 views? I submit a form to my ASP.NET MVC 3 server through a JavaScript handler (I use jQuery), and receive error responses from the server in another JavaScript handler. What I'm wondering is how I should display error messages, resulting from the form submission, in the view? I would prefer using some standard ASP.NET MVC 3 idiom/construct.
EDIT
Note that I want to display error messages from the server, received in a JavaScript error handler function.

A: You can go the pure MVC way: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/creating-a-mvc-3-application-with-razor-and-unobtrusive-javascript
Scroll down to "Enabling Client-Side Validation."
In your View you'll have code that looks like this:
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.UserName)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserName)

UPDATE
Seems OP is interested in custom messaging.  There isn't any MVC construct for this sort of custom messaging.  Your best bet is to just create your own messaging area and write messages to it in your callback function.  Shouldn't be too complicated!
$.ajax(..., function(data) {
    $('#errors').append('
' + data + '
');
});

A: Assuming you are using jQuery validate that comes with MVC solution templates, in your javascript handler you will have to add errors to the validator. There is a showErrors method on validator.
On the client side:
var formSubmitCallback = function(result){
  var validator = $(this).data('validator');
  if(!result.IsValid && validator)
      validator.showErrors(result.Errors); // uses jquery validator to highlight the fields
  // process the rest of the result here
  // if result.Action == ActionTypes.Redirect
  //     location.href = result.Url
  // etc
}

Now I had to standardize the result object from the server to return a json object formatted with { "FieleName": "Error Message" }. I built a few Controller and ViewModel extension on the server side to accomplish that.
On the server side:
public ActionResult SomeAction(Model someModel){
    if(ModelState.IsValid)
        // save
    else
        // other stuff

    // always return this.AjaxSubmit.
    // Extension function will add Errors, and IsValid to the response data
    return this.AjaxSubmit(new ClientAction{
        Action = ClientActionType.Redirect,
        Url = "/Some/Redirect/Route"
    });
}

Note: looking back on this now I did write a bit of custom code to make it work. I will eventually add the client and server code, together with examples on github. But this is the general idea.
The server classes and extension you will need are below
// GetAllErrors is a ModelState extension to format Model errors for Json response
public static Dictionary<string, string> GetAllErrors(this ModelStateDictionary modelState)
{
    var query = (from state in modelState
                 where state.Value.Errors.Count > 0
                 group state by state.Key into g
                 select new
                 {
                     FieldName = g.Key,
                     FieldErrors = g.Select(prop => prop.Value.Errors).First().Select(prop => prop.ErrorMessage).ToList()
                 });

    return query.ToDictionary(k => k.FieldName, v => string.Join("
", v.FieldErrors));
}

// Controller result extension to return from actions
public static JsonResult AjaxSubmit(this Controller controller, ClientAction action)
{
    if (controller == null) return new JsonResult { Data = action };

    var result = new AjaxSubmitResult
    {
        Errors = controller.ModelState.GetAllErrors(),
        IsValid = controller.ModelState.IsValid,
        ClientAction = action
    };

    return new JsonResult{ Data = result };
}

// Action to perform on the client after a successful, valid response
public class ClientAction
{
    public ClientActionType Action { get; set; }
    public string Url { get; set; }
    public string Function { get; set; }
    public object Data { get; set; }
    public Dictionary<string, string> Updatables { get; set; }
}

public enum ClientActionType
{
    Redirect,
    Ajax,
    Function,
    Modal,
    Message,
    FunctionAndMessage
}

A: The server should respond with a standardized message. That message could contain a complete error message (HTML) which you can then display in an empty div that is part of your _Layout page:
function(response) {
  if(response.Status === "error") {
    $("#errorContainer").html(response.ErrorHtml);
  } else {
    // the success handler
  }
}

The upside is that you can perform a rather standardized error message rendering on the server. Of course you could also display these as js popups / modal dialogs, etc.
The formatting of the error message is done via CSS that can be applied quite generically to #errorContainer and its contents.
You might want to argue that it is cleaner to respond with plain text from the server and add any html in the client via JS. That is possible, too, and probably works better with 'real' REST APIs. However, it does not allow to use formatted error messages (e.g. with links, etc.)

A: I answered something similar in the past on this for adding the error messages.
MVC Validation Summary manipulation with JS and Dynamic DOM elements
Since you want errors coming back from the server in what I'm assuming is your already known javascript method, simply add

var ul = $("#validationSummary ul"); ul.append("
Custom Error Message
")

A: The way I do it is:
Create base controller class and override the OnException handler
public abstract class MyBaseController : Controller
{
    protected override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
    {
        if (filterContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.IsAjaxRequest())
        {
            // add my own status code
            Response.StatusCode = 550;
            // write the error message to the response
            Response.Write(filterContext.Exception.Message);
            // mark the exception as handled
            filterContext.ExceptionHandled = true;
        }

        base.OnException(filterContext);
    }
}

On the client side on document ready I register global handler for ajax errors
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajaxSetup({
    error:function(x,e){
        if(x.status==0){
           alert('You are offline!!\n Please Check Your Network.');
        }else if(x.status==404){
           alert('Requested URL not found.');
        }else if(x.status==550){ // <----- THIS IS MY CUSTOM ERROR CODE --------
           alert(x.responseText);
        }else if(x.status==500){
           alert('Internel Server Error.');
        }else if(e=='parsererror'){
           alert('Error.\nParsing JSON Request failed.');
        }else if(e=='timeout'){
           alert('Request Time out.');
        }else {
           alert('Unknow Error.\n'+x.responseText);
        }
    }
});
});

You can of course tweak this methods to suite your needs. Hope this helps.

Q: Is there a faster way to add dates up to a certain future date using Excel VBA I would like to speed this up if possible,
First I search for a given date and if that date does not exist, then it adds the whole year to the sheet by copying the previous formulas.
Can some of you experts take a look please.
Sub addyear()
    'check to see if there is a year in the list
    Dim counter As Integer
    Dim Place As String

    Dim rng As Range
    Dim aNumber As Long
    Dim ColsCount As Long
    Dim counting As Long
    counting = 0
    Dim rowNum As Variant

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ColsCount = Sheet11.Cells(2, Sheet11.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

    aNumber = Sheet11.Range("B9").Value

    Set rng = Sheet11.Range("2:2")

    rowNum = Application.Match(aNumber, rng, 0)

    If Not IsError(rowNum) Then
        MsgBox "Year Exists"
    Else
        aNumber = Sheet11.Range("A9").Value

        Set rng = Sheet11.Range("2:2")

        rowNum = Application.Match(aNumber, rng, 0)

        If Not IsError(rowNum) Then
            MsgBox "Year Exists"
        Else
            Do Until Not IsError(rowNum)
                Sheet11.Cells(1, ColsCount).Copy Sheet11.Cells(1, ColsCount + 1)
                Sheet11.Cells(2, ColsCount).Copy Sheet11.Cells(2, ColsCount + 1)
                Sheet11.Cells(3, ColsCount).Copy Sheet11.Cells(3, ColsCount + 1)

                ColsCount = ColsCount + 1
                counting = counting + 1
                If counting > 366 Then Application.ScreenUpdating = True: Exit Sub

                aNumber = Sheet11.Range("A9").Value

                Set rng = Sheet11.Range("2:2")

                rowNum = Application.Match(aNumber, rng, 0)
            Loop
            If Not IsError(rowNum) Then
                MsgBox "year Entered"
            End If
        End If
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

A: Try the next code, please:
Sub testMatchDate()
  Dim sh As Worksheet, searchD As Long, matchNo As Long, lastCol As Long, NoDays As Long

  Set sh = ActiveSheet
  lastCol = sh.cells(2, Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'last filled column
  searchD = CDate("01.01.2021")                    'the date of the next year first day
  NoDays = 61                                      'Number of days to be filled
  matchNo = Application.Match(searchD, sh.Rows(2)) 'find its position (if exists..)

  If matchNo > 0 And matchNo < lastCol Then
    MsgBox "The new year date exists..."
    Exit Sub                                       'exiting if it exists
  ElseIf matchNo = lastCol Then 'if Match does not find a match, it returns the last filled column number...
    If CDate(searchD) = CDate(sh.cells(2, lastCol).Value) Then
        MsgBox "The new year date exists..."
        Exit Sub                                   'exiting if it exists
    End If
  End If

  sh.cells(2, lastCol + 1).Value = CDate(searchD) 'Write the first date of the new year
  sh.cells(2, lastCol + 2).Formula = "=" & sh.cells(2, lastCol + 1).Address(0, 0) & " + 1" 'and formula
  'autofill NoDays:
  sh.cells(2, lastCol + 2).AutoFill Destination:=sh.Range(cells(2, lastCol + 2), sh.cells(2, lastCol + NoDays))
End Sub

Adapted the code to also receive the number of days to be filled. But, in such a variant, your data to be searched must be the first one to be filled. I can adapt it to search for a specific date, but to not fill starting from it, to fill starting from existing date. Should I prepare the code to work in this way? If I will not receive an answer in a reasonable period of time, I can do it only after 2 - 3 hours when I will be at home...

A: @FaneDuru Thank you once again, for your help.I have used a mix of both our codes and it now does what i want.

Else

Set rng = Sheet11.Range("2:2")

If Not IsError(rowNum) Then
    MsgBox "Year Exists"

Else

 dt1 = Sheet11.Cells(2, ColsCount).Value
dt2 = Sheet11.Range("b9")
nDays = DateDiff("d", dt1, dt2)

sh.Cells(2, ColsCount + 1).Formula = "=" & sh.Cells(2, ColsCount).Address(0, 0) & " + 1"
sh.Cells(3, ColsCount + 1).Formula = "=" & sh.Cells(3, ColsCount).Address(0, 0) & " + 1"
sh.Cells(1, ColsCount + 1).Formula = "=" & sh.Cells(1, ColsCount).Address(0, 0) & " + 1"

sh.Cells(3, ColsCount + 1).AutoFill Destination:=sh.Range(Cells(3, ColsCount + 1), sh.Cells(3, ColsCount + nDays))
sh.Cells(2, ColsCount + 1).AutoFill Destination:=sh.Range(Cells(2, ColsCount + 1), sh.Cells(2, ColsCount + nDays))
sh.Cells(1, ColsCount + 1).AutoFill Destination:=sh.Range(Cells(1, ColsCount + 1), sh.Cells(1, ColsCount + nDays))

General purpose scissors used for non-surgical procedures. Quite often found in the consultation room or the Vets/Nurses pockets ready for use when needed. Supplied in three variations of tip. Blunt/blunt meaning both tips have a blunt end which is the most commonly used as it is difficult to cause unwanted damage with blunt tips, i.e. when removing a dressing. Blunt/sharp has one blunt tipped blade and a sharp tipped blade and so is useful where a sharp point may be needed but retains the blunt tip to offer protection to the surrounding area, i.e. use the blunt tip towards the patient when removing a dressing. Sharp/sharp are the least commonly used scissors but are preferred by some. Care must be taken with the sharp points to avoid iatrogenic damage.

Randy Rota
Randy Rota was the 33rd overall draft pick in 1970 by the California Seals, only to be traded to the Montreal Canadiens before turning professional. Randy - a cousin of NHLer Darcy Rota - became an even higher touted prospect after a spectacular AHL playoff series with the Nova Scotia Voyageurs in 1973.
The Creston, British Columbia native not surprisingly had a tough time cracking the deep Montreal lineup, but was a top player in their minor league system. Twice he scored 30+ goals and was a playoff hero in each of his two seasons on the farm. In his final stint with Nova Scotia he was on fire, leading all AHL playoff goal getters with 10 in 13 contests. Rota even got his first two games of NHL action under his belt in 1972-73, and registered his first goal and first assist while playing on a line with famous brothers Peter and Frank Mahovlich.
The Los Angeles Kings offered the Habs a deal they couldn't when they offered a 1st round draft pick in exchange for Rota and another spare part in Montreal, cagey Bob Murdoch. That first round pick turned out to be long time NHLer Mario Tremblay.
The deal would haunt LA for years to come. Rota never panned out. After coming in with some fanfare, Rota scored just 10 times in 58 games in Hollywood. He was left off the team's protected list for the 1974 expansion draft.
Refusing to write off Rota's promise because of one poor season, the expansion Kansas City Scouts took a chance on the diminutive center and left winger. However the gamble never paid off for the Scouts either. Rota gave the Scouts two full seasons, scoring 27 goals and 59 points in that time, but was also a combined -77!
The Scouts moved the entire franchise to Denver and became known as the Colorado Rockies, but aside from one game, Rota was not included. He was temporarily demoted to the minors before a trade sent him to the WHA Edmonton Oilers. Rota finished out his career with 93 games over two years in the Alberta capital, scoring just 17 goals and 45 points.
Randy scored 38 goals and 77 points in 212 NHL games, and added 1 assists in 5 NHL post season games.
Randy relocated to Kamloops, BC in retirement and worked in the insurance industry.

Experience the joy of having a cat in your life!
Senior Cat Companions (SCC) is a unique adoption program established by Kalamazoo Animal Rescue in 2007 to place mature cats with qualified senior citizens 60 years and older.
The personality of a mature cat is fully developed and apparent, making good matches between cat and owner possible. Because they have their rambunctious kitten years behind them, adult cats make ideal companions in less active homes. Mature cats have many years of love and affection to share. Life expectancy for an indoor cat is 15 years or more.
Have you thought about adopting a cat for yourself or a senior you know, but are concerned about potential obstacles?
Donations allow us to reduce the adoption fee for cats in this program. Each cat is examined by a veterinarian, neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas/parasites and litter box trained. Start-up supplies can be included as part of the adoption.
If you are a good candidate for one of our cats but don't drive, a volunteer can come to your home with information on available cats and a cat can be delivered to you.
Cats can help senior citizens in numerous ways. They provide companionship, affection, entertainment and can add purpose to a senior's day.
Cat overpopulation continues to be a serious problem. Thousands of healthy, friendly, adoptable cats are euthanized every year in shelters because no one steps forward to adopt them.
Click to view the cats available for adoption, and fill out an adoption application located on their individual page.

Wyse MMR (multimedia redirection) enables full-fidelity playback when multimedia files are streamed to a View desktop.
The MMR feature supports the media file formats that the client system supports, because local decoders must exist on the client. File formats include MPEG2, WMV, AVI, and WAV, among others.
For best quality, use Windows Media Player 10 or later, and install it on both the local computer, or client access device, and the View desktop.
The Wyse MMR port, which is 9427 by default, must be added as a firewall exception in the View desktop.
Although MMR is not supported on Windows 7 virtual desktops, if the Windows 7 desktop has 1GB of RAM and 2 virtual CPUs, you can use PCoIP to play 480p- and 720p-formatted videos at native resolutions. For 1080p, you might need to make the window smaller to get HD quality.

United States – Gay Guide
Covid-19. Travel restrictions, advice on certain destinations, health measures. Find important information here.
A wide variety of gay destinations in Uncle Sam's country
How else can you define a country as large as the United States except by its diversity? Whether it is geographical, cultural or historical, the USA will blow your mind. The destinations we propose are located in advanced states in terms of LGBTQ+ rights such as Massachusetts and New York on the East Coast, or California in the West. In this country of nearly 330 million inhabitants, home to successive generations of immigrants since the 15th century, there will always be a very tolerant and protective part of the population towards visible minorities, and a more conservative part. Fly to the United States and live your own "American Dream"!
General information about the United States
With nearly 330 million people, the United States is the most populous country in America and the third most populous in the world after China and India. The country is made up of 50 very diverse states. With nearly 40 million people, California has the largest population, followed by Texas with nearly 29 million. Each state has relatively strong autonomy of action. Most major cities in the country have a gay neighbourhood. The most gay-friendly destinations are mostly located in states that are very advanced for LGBTQ+ rights, such as Provincetown in Massachusetts, Fire Island, New York City in the state of the same name or of course San Francisco, Los Angeles or Palm Springs in California. We will also find Key West or Miami in Florida, even if the state is more conservative. But that's not all, we'll soon be offering destinations like Providence, Rhode Island, and many more.
Status of LGBTQ+ people in the United States?
Same-sex marriage has been legally recognized throughout the United States since June 26, 2015. But this struggle has not been easy. Disparity between states, that's how one could describe LGBTQ+ people's rights in the United States. Some, such as California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Washington DC and New York, are very advanced on the subject, and have had laws in place for many years in favour of marriage, adoption or gender change. Others, more conservative like Texas, Alabama or Florida are further behind. Things are slowly but surely changing.
The currency is the US dollar. 10 Euros will give you approximately $12USD. For travelers from Canada, $10CAD will get you about $7.80USD.
To enter the United States, a biometric or electronic passport is required, regardless of your country of origin (even for Canadians or Mexicans). Check to see if the small chip symbol is present under the name "Passport".
Citizens of the European Union, Switzerland and the United Kingdom must then make sure to complete an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) application online. The cost is $14USD, which you can pay online. Be sure to apply on the official US government website: ESTA. The electronic authorization will be linked to your passport number for 2 years.
Canadian citizens (not valid for permanent residents) do not need an ESTA to travel to the United States. Only Canadians with a NEXUS card can use it instead of a passport.

As Star Wars Collectible fans, we've always been captivated by the possibilities of what could have been.
In this rare footage from the Star Wars archives, sound designer Ben Burtt hosts Boba Fett's first reveal to George Lucas and company at the filmmaker's home on June 28, 1978 for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.
The striking all-white prototype armor reflects the character's initial concept as a "super trooper" before he evolved into the bounty hunter he is today. Designed by Joe Johnston, and worn by Empire's assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham for the test, Burtt explains 'proto Fett's' unique weapons, functions, and characteristics.
Commemorating this insight into the making of Star Wars, the Sideshow development team is excited to share a first look at the Boba Fett Prototype Armor Sixth Scale Figure – our tribute to the Mandalorian that could have been.


With its less-than-two-inch blade, the Chive is a small knife, which makes it perfect for pocket, pack, purse, or briefcase carry. But just because it's small doesn't mean the Chive isn't mighty. In fact, the Chive is perfect for just about any cutting task you'd care to ask it to do-from opening packages to breaking down cardboard boxes. To ensure this handy little blade is always ready when you need it, the Chive is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the ambidextrous blade protrusion or push on the thumbstud and the blade moves out of the handle, ready for use. The high-carbon blade steel offers good edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. The bead-blasted finish is easy to maintain. For safety, the Chive has two locking systems. The frame lock secures the blade open so it can't accidentally close during use. And to ensure that it won't accidentally open during transport, the Chive is also equipped with a Tip-Lock slider to lock the blade closed when folded. In pure stainless steel, both blade and handle are easy to clean and maintain. Features: - SpeedSafe assisted opening - Frame lock - Single-position pocketclip, tip-lock slider - Steel: 420HC, bead-blasted finish Specifications: - Handle: 410 stainless steel, bead-blasted finish - Blade Length: 1.9" - Closed Length: 2.9" - Overall Length: 4.8" - Weight: 1.7 oz.

Q: How to perform action on RealityKit animation completion In WWDC19 talk they showed how to animate Entity and perform action on animation completion  (go to minute 12 for reference) like this:
let animationController = move(to: flipUpTransform, relativeTo: parent, duration: 0.25, timingFunction: .easeInOut)

animationController.completionHandler {
// Perform some action
}

But it looks like that they removed or never added this completionHandler. Instead they have isCompleted boolean property.
I am new to swift so I have no idea to use this isCompleted to perform some actions upon animation completion. How can I solve this?

A: The documentation says:

Look for one of the events in AnimationEvents if you want to be alerted when certain aspects of animation occur.

So you can use Combine to get notified when the animation finishes. so
let animation = entity.move(to: targetTransform, relativeTo: nil, duration: 1)

arView.scene.publisher(for: AnimationEvents.PlaybackCompleted.self)
       .filter { $0.playbackController == animation }
       .sink(receiveValue: { event in
            / * your completion handler */
        }).store(in: &subscriptions)

Baseball Night in America is an American television presentation of Major League Baseball (MLB) games produced by Fox Sports for the Fox network.

Fox's coverage includes 17 weeks worth of coverage as of 2022. Coverage usually includes 2 to 4 separate games all starting at 7PM ET, local affiliates air the game of most interest to their audience.

History
While Fox has aired Fox Saturday Baseball games since 1996, Fox only began using the Baseball Night in America branding in 2012. In the inaugural season, the Baseball Night in America branding was used for games from May 26 to July 7.

Until 2021 (although it still airs currently), Baseball Night in America aired every Saturday from the last week in May to the second week in July. Beginning with the 2019 season, late season Fox Saturday Baseball games moved from the afternoon to prime time. therefore  a separate section of games was added for September. Some of these September games aired on Thursday night as Thursday Night Baseball.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic delaying the 2020 season, Fox Saturday Baseball returned to airing some afternoon Saturday games. Fox aired Saturday primetime games between July 25 and August 1, and between September 12 and September 26, as well as on August 15. Fox returned to their 2019 scheduling for the 2021 season.

For the 2022 season, Fox aired Baseball Night in America games every Saturday from May 26 to September 10, as well as on Saturday, October 1. Fox also aired two other weeks of prime time games in September as Thursday Night Baseball games. This is the result of Fox increasing the amount of games they air on broadcast television in their new television contract, as well as a side effect of the loss of Fox's Thursday night NFL games outside of local syndication.

Lumbopelvic neuromuscular training and injury rehabilitation: A systematic review
Matthew S. Briggs, Deborah L. Givens, Thomas Best, Ajit M. Chaudhari
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the evidence for lumbopelvic neuromuscular training (LNMT) in individuals after musculoskeletal (MSK) injury. DATA SOURCES: A literature search of PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed for English studies from January 1990 to March 2012. Search terms including and related to trunk, core, stability, injury, and LNMT were used. STUDY SELECTION: All studies directly involving LNMT for MSK injuries were reviewed by 2 authors. These articles were assessed based on the inclusion criteria and if appropriate selected for further analysis. Expert opinion, review articles, and articles involving non-MSK injuries were excluded. Four authors then scored the selected articles for methodological quality. A total of 2312 articles were initially identified. Twenty-nine articles met the inclusion criteria for review and were divided into categories of lower extremity (LE), lumbar, and upper extremity (UE). No trials involving the UE met the inclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Data including subject demographics (age, height, weight, gender, etc), injury type, intervention type, and outcome measurements were extracted from the relevant articles. A variety of baseline and follow-up scores were extracted including pain levels, patient satisfaction, disability questionnaires, and other functional outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS: Two out of 3 LE randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 9/26 lumbar RCTs were rated with high methodological quality based on the scoring system described by van Tulder et al. The average quality score for the LE RCTs was 6.3 (range = 4-9) and for the lumbar RCTs was 5.1 (range = 2-9). The evidence for the effectiveness of the 3 LE studies was rated as conflicting, whereas 24 lumbar studies demonstrated moderate-to-strong evidence. Unfortunately, heterogeneity of populations, interventions, and outcomes precluded a quantitative meta-analysis and specific clinical recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: High-quality evidence is lacking to make specific clinical recommendations for or against the use of LNMT in the rehabilitation of individuals after MSK injury. Based on this review, future research should focus on well-defined, homogeneous populations, interventions specifically addressing neuromuscular activation of the lumbopelvic musculature, patient-specific clinical outcomes, measures of motor control, biomechanics, and return to specific activities.

This design concept is named Unyl bag (Universal Design + Vinyl Bag). There were some problems while using current plastic bag. Firstly, it is hard to detach each one from the bunch of bag. Secondly, it is difficult to open the plastic bag. Unyl bag is designed to detach plastic bags easier and faster than current plastic bags even in one hand. Therefore Unyl bag is not only an easy-detachable bag but also it is an easy-open bag, it can open as soon as detach it.

Kalaeloa development faces key vote today
The Hawaii Community Development Authority envisions housing and commercial construction
By Stewart Yerton
syerton@starbulletin.com
The Hawaii Community Development Authority is scheduled today to vote on a proposed master plan calling for the redevelopment of the Barbers Point Naval Air Station into a $3.3 billion mixed-use community.
The agency's plan envisions the Kalaeloa area as a densely developed, pedestrian-friendly place where some 6,000 new townhouses and apartments would be interspersed with commercial developments located near light industrial areas -- all built alongside mass transit lines. The HCDA also has proposed setting aside space for "eco-industrial" facilities, such as solar energy generators, as well as extensive land for conservation and recreation.
A first phase calls for more than 2,600 new housing units valued at about $1.1 billion to be built by 2012, and another 2,200 units valued at about $855 million to be built by 2020. A third phase, to be completed by 2025, would add another 1,500 homes. Thirty percent of the units are to be sold as affordable housing.
Notwithstanding such details, the master plan being voted on today is more a vision than a prescription of what will be built and when. Although the state authority will be in charge of infrastructure to support the redevelopment of Kalaeloa, it envisions private developers stepping in to build a village of offices, shops, industrial workplaces and homes. The Kalaeloa development area includes about 3,700 acres and is near the fast-growing areas of Kapolei and the site of a proposed West Oahu campus of the University of Hawaii.
"It's very much market-driven," said Daniel Dinell, executive director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority. "What we have produced in this master plan is a framework to unleash the economic and social value of Kalaeloa. It's impossible to say this will occur in this year and this will occur in that year."
The timetables do specify when the authority intends to have infrastructure in place to support the private development, Dinell said.
The vote on the Kalaeoloa master plan comes as Hawaii Community Development Authority faces criticism for a plan to redevelop the Kakaako waterfront into a mixed-use village encompassing shops, markets, park space, an amphitheater and some 630 condominiums. The HCDA has brought in A&B Properties as the private developer of the waterfront project, and as part of the plan the authority would sell A&B about 6.5 acres of taxpayer-owned land where the developer would build two condo towers.
Critics have decried the Kakaako proposal, saying the state should not sell public land to a luxury condo developer, particularly waterfront land in Honolulu.
The proposed Kalaeloa development differs sharply from the Kakaako plan. Kalaeloa housing units, for instance, would consist of townhomes or apartments in three- to five-story buildings, and not in high-rise towers. There also are no plans to build anything near the coastline. Perhaps most important, the state doesn't own the land that would be redeveloped, and the HCDA is acting only as a planning and zoning agency.
The land in Kalaeloa is owned by a variety of entities, including federal agencies like the Navy and Coast Guard; state agencies such as the departments of Education, Transportation and Hawaiian Homelands; and private owners, including a subsidiary of Texas-based Hunt Building Co., which has about 53 acres of land that formerly was used for military housing.
The Navy has another 492 acres that it plans to sell, much of it located of it in what will be the heart of Kalaeloa's Main Street. This property is being brokered by Hunt Building's Ford Island Properties subsidiary, Dinell said, but he added that Ford Island Properties could opt to buy the property from the Navy rather than brokering its sale to someone else.
Dinell said he was optimistic that the project will avoid the snares that have stalled the Kakaako project.
"I think we've gone through a very good process, incorporating community concerns and input, and we're optimistic that this is an opportune time to finally move Kalaeloa forward," he said.


The Ottawa Senators have announced that goalie Craig Anderson will miss Tuesday's game with the Carolina Hurricanes due to an eye injury. He is expected to make the trip on Thursday to play the Detroit Red Wings.
Craig Anderson got a tennis ball in the eye yesterday in the gym. He won't backup tonight but will make trip tomorrow.
Ottawa Sun reporter Bruce Garroch said that the 37-year-old goalie was hurt after taking a tennis ball to the eye in the gym. Anderson will not suit up for Tuesday's game, but may be ready by Thursday night.
Anderson is 14-17-3 with a 3.55 goals against average so far this season. The Park Ridge, Ill. native has a .904 save percentage and one shutout in 2018-19.
The veteran goalie has played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Florida Panthers, Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators in his 16-year NHL career. He has a career record of 275-224-66 in 599 games. Anderson has a 2.80 goals against average and .914 save percentage. He also has 41 career shutouts. The Calgary Flames originally drafted Anderson in the third round, 73rd overall of the 1999 NHL draft.
Ottawa recalled goaltender Filip Gustavsson ahead of their morning skate on Tuesday. Anders Nilsson is expected to make his third straight start tonight against Carolina. Anderson sat out Monday's practice with a "minor tweak", but was expected to dress for Tuesday's game.
Anderson has been on the bench for the last two victories by the Senators. Nilsson has stopped 89 of the last 91 shots he's faced in wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Winnipeg Jets. The Swedish backup has a 9-12-1 record this season with a .916 save percentage and a 2.70 GAA.
It's been a down season for Anderson, but it's likely he'll stay in the Canadian capital ahead of the Feb. 25 trade deadline. Dorion told TSN 1200 in Ottawa last week that Anderson wouldn't be traded.
Anderson won the Masteron Trophy in the 2016-17 season. He finished fourth in the Vezina Trophy voting in 2009-10 and 2012-13.

Three-dimensional super-resolution imaging: from cellular surface to interior Tafteh, Reza
Single-molecule localization microscopy has greatly improved our understanding of biology by providing super-resolution images of biological processes and structures. However, it is still very challenging to apply this technique to thick tissues. A 3D imaging system based on single-molecule localization microscopy is presented to allow high-accuracy drift-free (< 0.7 nm lateral; 2.5 nm axial) imaging many microns deep into a cell. When imaging deep within a cell, distortions of the point-spread function result in an inaccurate and very compressed Z distribution. For the system to accurately represent the position of each molecule, a series of depth-dependent calibrations are required. The system and its allied methodology were developed to image the type-2 Ryanodine receptor (RYR2) in the cardiac myocyte at a depth of several microns. It enabled us to resolve the structure of the individual (30 nm square) receptors giving a result similar to that obtained with electron tomography. We also present an optical setup using an electrically tunable lens to actively stabilize a single-molecule localization microscope in three dimensions (RMS ~ 0.7 nm lateral; ~ 2.7 nm axial). The effectiveness of the ETL was demonstrated by imaging endosomal transferrin receptors near the apical surface of B-lymphocytes at a depth of 8 µm. This stabilization system enables a more accurate topological cluster analysis. We have used these super-resolution imaging approaches to examine overlap between the RYR2 and the L-type Calcium channel (Cav1.2) on the cellular surface and within the rat ventricular myocyte. We accurately imaged receptors down to a depth of 6 µm below the surface, and for the first time, using light microscopy, we were able to image individual receptors. The distribution of RyR2 and Cav1.2 parallel each other and vary greatly between the surface, just below the surface, and deep in the interior. We have also used two-color super-resolution microscopy to quantify receptor organization on the plasma membrane of follicular (FO) and marginal zone (MZ) B cells. We have found that B cell receptors (BCR) on the surface of MZ B cells were more dispersed and exhibited less clustering than those on FO B cells.

An Iconic Ballroom
We recently spent an afternoon at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom and completely understand why Blackpool remains the dance epicentre of the North. If you haven't danced ballroom at the tower then you haven't danced ballroom.
The original ballroom, the Tower Pavilion opened in August 1894 and the Tower Ballroom as we know it today was built between 1897 and 1898 to the designs of Frank Matcham, who also designed Blackpool Grand Theatre.
Dubbed the "Mecca of Dance" the Tower Ballroom has been used regularly on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing series (only to be snubbed for 2012 in favour of a London venue, much to the chagrin of locals) and is instantly recognisable thanks to its elaborate chandeliers and ornate decor (it was once called the most ornate ballroom in the world). Most days of the week visitors can enjoy Blackpool's "best afternoon tea" and dust off their dancing shoes to throw some shapes to the sounds of the Wurlitzer. Of course, serious dancers will always flock to this iconic venue and a couple demonstrating a slick Argentine Tango may intimidate those who have come to tap their feet on the hallowed floor and sample the North West's most decadent finger sandwiches, but the essence of the Tower is that everyone is welcome.
And it's no mean feat maintaining the glamour and glitz visitors have come to expect. The Ballroom is subjected to a deep spring clean every year; each crystal chandelier can be lowered to the floor to be cleaned which in itself takes over a week. All 120ft of the wooden floors, made out of 30,602 blocks of mahogany, oak and walnut are stripped back, sanded down, varnished and then polished to perfection to ensure any dance can be performed in style. And 1,120 chandelier bulbs are dusted and inspected to check they're in working order.
All of this to ensure over a century of history is preserved and the ballroom continues to enchant dancers and visitors. And we defy you not to fall in love, just a little bit, with this iconic venue. Above the stage is the inscription, 'Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear' from the poem Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare but this sells the tower short - the Wurlitzer may enchant the ear but the ballroom is really a visual delight.


The word in the Nepalese language for street-children is 'kaaThe'. It is a word that expresses disgust and even hatred. No one likes the dirty gangs of glue-sniffing kids who roam the streets in search of edibles and 'kapaDi', anything that can be recycled and sold.
Often, the street kids are former abandoned children who have migrated from the villages to the city, in an effort to escape their predicament of domestic servanthood in the village. Once in the city, they find their hopes shattered in the blink of an eye: instead of making a quick buck, the sad circumstances of their lives are quickly compounded by issues such as survival by scavenging, police brutality, public hatred, gang pecking, ill-health, sexual exploitation, addiction to glue-sniffing, and so on.
20 dedicated, loving, competent staff between the Street-Kitchen, the Shelter, the Street2School Home, the HalfWay House and the Vocational Training Program.
HimalayanLife is standing in the gap for street children with a variety of programs.
At the Street Kitchen and the adjacent Drop-in Facility located downtown, the children can stop by for a hot meal or simply take a break from the relentlessness of their lives on the street. The Himalayan Life staff are there to help in whatever way needed and appropriate (first aid, counselling, friendship). It was the streets and alleys of Pokhara that inspired the first street kitchen, a place that remains a beacon of hope in the days of the children. Here, they are welcomed every day for food and hope, for a wash and a song, for a taste of love – since most have forgotten what love is.
It is from here these brave children are offered an escape from the disorder of the streets into the order of the Shelter. They are invited to join in a system: beds are made, shoes are organized, children sing and clap together before their dinner. The shelter opens daily at 5 PM. The kids kids have access to hygiene, they play sports, and they get a clean bed and a roof over their heads. There is time to share stories, to play and to sing. The Himalayan Life shelter is a drug and alcohol free environment; this is where the first steps are taken towards transformation.
Himalayan Life provides the children every possible support and rehab to overcome their deep trauma. Unfortunately, in some cases, the glue sniffing has already left a permanent mark on the kids – the challenges are formidable.
Education is a key ingredient to the sustainable transformation in the lives of the street children. Right from the beginning, the children are given the opportunity to participate in non-formal education programs. Once they are more settled at the shelter, the younger kids (up to 10 years) are encouraged on to attend regular school, and transition to the Himalayan Life Street-2-School Home.
For the older kids, going to school is unfortunately difficult, as they have never been to school and it is simply too late to catch up with their peers. This is one of the reasons why we have started Himalayan Life Plastics – a social enterprise in the field of plastic recycling. In the framework of this industrial enterprise, we are offering Vocational Training Opportunities to teenaged street kids. Here they learn trades such as welding, plumbing, carpentry, mechanics, and electrics. They spend time in the classroom, the training workshop, and in the various departments of the plant. Moreover, they learn to integrate into the plant's community, comprised of some 60 staff. The daily routine working from 9am to 5pm helps significantly in overcoming substance abuse.
The participants of the Vocational Training Program typically move from the shelter to the Halfway House. Now that they earn some money, they learn how to spend it in reasonable ways for their living expenses. Together with a life coach, they do their own shopping, cooking, cleaning etc. They learn to use their free time in constructive and positive ways.

Owners and managers of refrigerated fleets are approaching the EPA Tier 4 emissions deadline for trailer refrigeration unit (TRU) engines with some trepidation. And after what they've gone through with the EPA emissions mandates for big bore engines, who can blame them?
Addressing a fleet managers' breakfast at Truck World a couple weeks later, Jerry Moyes, CEO of Swift Transportation, voiced his concern as well, noting California-compliant TRUs could cost $5,000-$10,000 more than today's designs when the calendar turns to 2013.
"It's affecting the whole reefer business," he said, adding reefer sales could be brisk this year as fleets rush to beat the impending standard.
Concerns, however, may be overblown, especially for refrigerated fleets that don't haul into California. The impending Tier 4 standard, which goes into effect in January 2013, will limit pollutants of off-road engines between 25-50 hp, and yes, TRU engines generally fall within this category.
Both Carrier Transicold and Thermo King have been busy revamping their reefer platforms to comply with the Tier 4 standard in ways that will minimize the impact on customers. Thermo King plans a summer launch of its new platform, and Truck News will report on those developments as they become available.
Carrier Transicold announced its compliance strategy at the Mid-America Trucking Show and in a subsequent interview with Truck News, David Kiefer, director of marketing and product management with Carrier, indicated the company's revamped reefer line will meet Tier 4 emissions requirements without any of the expensive add-ons and auxiliary equipment that some feared were inevitable. He understands the confusion, however.
He's talking about things like exhaust aftertreament systems; diesel particulate filters, oxidation catalysts and the like, which have been employed by the manufacturers of heavy-duty truck engines. This cautious response from manufacturers led to widespread speculation of substantial cost increases, as was the case with big bore engines when similar technologies were deployed with each new round of EPA emissions standards.
The Tier 4 standard for non-road engines with 25-50 hp was announced in 2004, to be phased in between 2008 and 2015. The regulations are not specific to reefer engines; they affect any non-road diesel engine within the affected horsepower range. Reefer engines in the 11-25 hp category were required to comply by 2008 while the 25-50 hp category engines were to be phased in over a two-step process, with Tier 4 interim being rolled out in 2008 and a stricter Tier 4 final rule to come into play in January. Existing equipment is grandfathered, meaning fleets can continue to use their existing TRUs without penalty anywhere other than California (see related story, pg. 70).
"Most trailer refrigeration units sold today fall within this (25-50 hp) horsepower increment, therefore currently comply with the Tier 4i (interim) standard," Kiefer explained.
Getting to the more stringent Tier 4 final rule presented some challenges. But rather than resorting to costly aftertreatment systems that would allow reefer engines to continue operating as they do today, and then trap and eliminate pollutants downstream, Carrier Transicold has elected to redesign its engine line from the ground up, to improve efficiency to the extent that the engines no longer require the full 25 hp.
Carrier engineers went back to the drawing board, and have found ways of improving the efficiency of their refrigeration units so that the peak power required by the engine will not exceed 25 hp under any circumstances, essentially absolving it from the burden of the new Tier 4 requirements and avoiding the substantial cost increases associated with exhaust aftertreatment equipment. (The engines will easily comply with the Tier 4 standard for 11-25 hp engines).
In fact, Kiefer said the efficiency improvements offered in Carrier's next-generation line of reefer engines will actually improve performance and lower operating costs, something that wasn't exactly the case when truck engine makers were faced with EPA mandates in 2002 and 2007. In the end, Kiefer says Carrier was able to reduce the horsepower requirement by its 2.2-litre Kubota engine by up to 20%, depending on model and application.
As a bonus to fleets, the lower horsepower requirement also means there could be some maintenance savings.
One reefer, Kiefer noted, runs 400 rpm slower than the previous version, yet provides greater cooling capacity while using less fuel. Carrier also promises reliability hasn't been compromised.
So, how exactly did Carrier Transicold manage to find double-digit efficiency gains in its refrigeration units?
Kiefer explained that for the most part, Carrier was able to take existing technologies employed across its various models and then combine them and optimize them to work together to provide more comprehensive benefits.
Key to the redesign is a new, soon-to-be-released APX control system with CAN Bus communications capabilities, so it can 'talk' with all the various components within the refrigeration unit system and respond accordingly.
