About Us Fund governance Key governance documents
Key governance documents
We believe that corporate governance is fundamental to ensuring that the Trustee and the Equip fund are managed properly and deliver long-term results to fund members.
The Governance Framework sets out the Trustee's commitment to best practice corporate governance and addresses the main governance policies, principles and processes in effect, including risk management and compliance, financial reporting and the Equip investment model.
The Governance Framework includes oversight of the systems, people, policies, processes and skills underpinning accountability within the Trustee. As such, the Governance Framework supports us to make objective and transparent decisions which are in the best interests of Fund members.
The Board Charter sets out the authority, responsibilities and operation of the Trustee Board in its capacity as trustee for the Fund.
The Charter also guides and informs the Directors about their responsibilities and authorities when conducting the day to day business of the Board.
Board Appointment and Renewal
The Board Appointment and Renewal Policy sets out the detailed processes for the skills-based nomination, selection and appointment of Employer Directors, Member Directors and Independent Directors.
As a general principle, Directors are appointed for four year terms and have a maximum tenure of 12 years.
The Board Appointment and Renewal Policy also sets out the approach taken to manage Board renewal, while recognising the benefits of continuity of knowledge on the Board, our obligations under the APRA Prudential Standards, and the equal representation principles in the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act (the Act).
In addition, this Policy provides the framework for the regular assessment of the performance of the Board as whole, Board Committees and Directors individually.
The Code of Conduct outlines the expected standards of conduct and behaviour of our Directors and Employees. The Code requires that our people act with integrity and keep confidential information they are made privy to in relation to their roles. The Code also addresses the management of conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality. The Code also prohibits Equip people from conducting Company business whilst impaired by drugs or alcohol, and contains provisions in relation to the prevention of fraud and misuse of Company property.
Compliance Policy and Framework
The Compliance Policy and Framework forms a key part of Equip's risk management processes.
The Policy and Framework enables Equip manage its compliance obligations and to develop a culture where all Employees are aware of their compliance obligations and consider these obligations when performing their roles.
Conflicts must be properly managed in order to comply with Equip's fiduciary responsibilities, relevant legal obligations and appropriate standards of corporate governance and the proper management of conflicts requires the early identification of potential, actual and perceived conflicts, and the use of strategies to avoid or manage the conflict, so as to effectively eliminate or minimise the risk that a conflict might adversely affect the members and beneficiaries of the Fund, and the quality and integrity of the Trustee's decisions and the financial services provided.
The Conflicts Management Policy documents the arrangements in place for managing situations giving rise to actual, potential and perceived conflicts of interest and conflicts of duty (conflicts) for Responsible Persons1 and employees of the Trustee. The Conflicts Management Policy sets out the Trustee's controls and processes for:
identifying and monitoring conflicts;
assessing and evaluating those conflicts;
deciding upon and implementing a response to those conflicts;
managing those conflicts in accordance with the requirements to give priority to the duties to, and interests of, members and beneficiaries;
maintaining a record of all identified conflicts and the action taken to avoid or manage them; and
maintaining and disclosing the Register of Relevant Conflicts, which records all relevant interests and duties of the Trustee's Responsible Persons.
Further, the Conflicts Management Policy is intended to ensure that where a conflict cannot be avoided:
The duties to, and interests of, members and beneficiaries receive priority over any duties to, and interests of other persons;
The duties to members and beneficiaries are met despite the conflict; and
The interests of members and beneficiaries are not adversely affected by the conflict.
Equip has a Register of Relevant Interests and Duties.
Fit and Proper Policy
The Fit and Proper Policy sets out:
how the Trustee intends to comply with the relevant APRA Prudential Standard;
processes for assessing whether a person is 'fit and proper' to act as a Responsible Person;
the induction and continuous development training programs for Responsible Persons;
the ongoing monitoring of Responsible Persons, including declarations of a conflict of interest, to ensure that the requirements of the APRA Prudential Standard are being met; and
The steps that may be taken if a Responsible Person is required to be removed from his or her position.
The ethical and behavioural standards expected of employees, as well as general terms and conditions of employment are captured in a series of policies that collectively govern human resources management.
We regularly review our Human Resources policies to ensure they align with changing community expectations and position Equip as an employer of choice, as well as complying with relevant legislation.
Supplier Management Framework
The Trustee's Supplier Management Framework applies to all material business activities of the Equip Trustee, that are to be outsourced or have been outsourced. It defines the material outsourced providers and the method used to appoint and monitor the performance of these suppliers.
The Framework also ensures that the outsourcing of material functions is effectively managed and that appropriate measures are in place to protect the best financial interests and meet the reasonable expectations, of beneficiaries and to protect the financial position of the Funds. The Framework provides criteria to determine the materiality of any outsourcing arrangements and once that decision is made, the approval and appointment of material outsourced arrangements.
Policy on the management and use of reserves
The Policy on the management and use of reserves documents the management and monitoring of Equip's three Reserve accounts, the purposes for which the funds in the Reserve accounts can be used, the funding of Reserve accounts and the return of any surplus funds to members.
The three Equip reserve accounts are:
The Administration and General Purpose Reserve, which is used to meet the day-to-day administration expenses of the Fund and Trustee. This reserve may be used to meet any extraordinary expenditure for the long term benefit of the Fund;
The Operational Risk Reserve, which is used for the purposes of "making good" financial losses related to operational risk matters. For example, these losses may include losses incurred by Employers, Members or their beneficiaries which result from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events; and
A Self-Insurance Reserve, which is used to fund the future service component of the death and disability benefits of certain Electricity and Gas industry defined benefit Members.
The Policy also provides that Reserve accounts can only accessed following a resolution of the Board or under the CEO's delegated authority.
Risk management framework and strategy
This Risk Management Framework provides an overarching framework to ensure a consistent approach to the management of risk across Equip.
The Risk Management Framework deals with the following matters:
Approach to Risk;
Definition of Risk;
Determination of Risk Appetite and Tolerance;
Responsibility for Risk Management; and
Strategies for mitigating risk.
A Trustee Risk Register is also maintained to record and assess risks facing Equip.
The risk management standard AS/NZS ISO 31000 (the Standard) and APRA Prudential Standard SPS 220 – Risk Management were considered in the development of the Risk Management Framework.
A 'Responsible Person' of the Trustee is:
- A Director of the Trustee
- An Executive Officer of the Trustee
- The External Auditor, who is appointed to conduct an audit of the Funds
- An Actuary appointed by the Trustee to perform an actuarial function
- A Company Secretary of the Trustee
- A person who performs activities for a connected entity of the Trustee where those activities could materially affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the Trustee's business operations, or its financial standing, either directly or indirectly
- Any other person determined by APRA, in writing, to play a significant role in the management or control of the Trustee, or whose activities may materially impact on the interests, or reasonable expectations, of beneficiaries, or the financial position of the Trustee or the Fund.

Learn more about Violet
The Violet sails out of Stonington, CT. The 45-foot Scots Zulu was built in 1911 in Fraserburgh, Scotland, and named after the first owner's newborn niece. Roger Lancaster, her current owner, is pleased to be working with Valiant Voyages and looks forward to hosting children and their families as part of the non-profit's educational, self-affirming program.
Violet was used as a fishing vessel until the 1930s and stayed in the original owner's family until 1975 when the vessel came to America. After four years being rebuilt in Vineyard Haven, MA, she was relaunched in 1991 by her new owners and sailed the Caribbean, Panama, the Galapagos, the Marquesas, Hawaii, British Columbia and Alaska. In 2013, Roger took over ownership of the classic ketch spending that summer sailing her in southern New England before shipment to Chicago where he sailed Violet on the Great Lakes. In August 2016, he navigated her through the Lakes, the Erie Canal and Hudson River to where she now sails out of Stonington.
To operate an educational, self-affirming program for children who have cancer or other serious illnesses, where they can learn how to sail, experience the marine environment, have fun, and get away from the rigors of dealing with healthcare challenges, at least during the course of this sailing adventure.

Q: How do I communicate between two camel context using camel "direct-vm"? I am using direct-vm to communicate between two camel contexts running in same JVM. But it is not working, my producer keeps on looking for consumer :( Am I missing anything here. Any help is appreciated thanks :)
This is my Producer, sending data from files in a folder to endpoint
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;

public class OrderRouter {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
   // create CamelContext
    CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();

// add our route to the CamelContext
    context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
    @Override
    public void configure() {

        from("file:src/data?noop=true").to("direct-vm:pipeRequestDR91");

        }
    });

    context.start();
    Thread.sleep(10000);

    // stop the CamelContext

A: Here is an minimal example (but Thread.Sleep is just a quick way to show what means two contexts in the same jvm without osgi/spring etc.):
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CamelContext first = new DefaultCamelContext();
        first.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() throws Exception {
                from("timer:start").to("direct-vm:test");
            }
        });

        CamelContext second = new DefaultCamelContext();
        second.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() throws Exception {
                from("direct-vm:test").log("Message received");
            }
        });

        first.start();
        second.start();

        Thread.sleep(100000);
    }
}

Actually, as I see the real requirement is to communicate between different camel contexts in different applications so JVM will be different. The quickest way to do that similar to "direct" or "direct-vm" is to use camel-netty4 and option "transferExchange" set to "true" (http://camel.apache.org/netty4.html). Here is an example which contains two separate applications that communicating using this way:
App1.java
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;

public class App1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CamelContext first = new DefaultCamelContext();
        first.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() throws Exception {
                from("timer:start").to("netty4:tcp://127.0.0.1:9999?transferExchange=true");
            }
        });

        first.start();
        Thread.sleep(100000);
    }
}

App2.java
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;

public class App2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CamelContext second = new DefaultCamelContext();
        second.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() throws Exception {
                from("netty4:tcp://127.0.0.1:9999?transferExchange=true").log("Message received");
            }
        });

        second.start();

        Thread.sleep(100000);
    }
}

By changing IP address it will be possible to run applications on different machines etc.

A: Keep your consumer running forever as @Souciance Eqdam Rashti has mentioned.
You can refer below example from camel documentation to keep running camel context forever

http://camel.apache.org/running-camel-standalone-and-have-it-keep-running.html

A: short answer is : routes cannot communicate through direct-vm when contexts are in different JVMs. Period.
They will if they run in the same JVM - as example two WAR/EAR files running in some Java EE containers like JBoss, Weblogic, Tomcat etc.
Or when there is a main method in application which starts both contexts.
It can be done in different threads as example.

Walkom: Mystery surrounds NDP candidate in Toronto
We know that would-be New Democrat MP Nicole Yovanoff did not star in the film Valley Party Girls. Other than that we don't know much.
By Thomas WalkomContributing Columnist
Wed., April 27, 2011timer3 min. read
If the Jack Layton surge really does lead to a New Democrat sweep Monday, Canadians could end up electing a host of mystery MPs most have never heard of. One of the most mysterious — if she wins — will be Don Valley West NDP candidate Nicole Yovanoff.
Winkling out information about Yovanoff is tough. Her campaign website lists no phone number or email contact. There appears to be no local campaign office. If there is, NDP headquarters in Ottawa doesn't know about it.
She didn't attend the Toronto riding's all-candidates debate on April 20. The Green and Communist candidates did. But not New Democrat Yovanoff.
According to a report in the East York Observer, she didn't even attend her own nomination meeting.
Nor, according to a spokesperson from party headquarters in Ottawa, will she talk to the press. The spokesperson would not say why.
She does have a hotmail address. And, if pressed, NDP headquarters will provide it.
I used this address to email her a question. She didn't respond. Instead, party headquarters answered for her.
Yovanoff's minimalist campaign website biography says she has an honours degree in political science from York University. It also describes her as a "dedicated community activist and volunteer" currently working with a group trying to preserve the headwaters of the Oak Ridges moraine.
Her father John, who heads up the volunteer-run Residents of South Simcoe Conserving our Rural Environment, is charming and friendly. In a short telephone conversation, he declined to discuss his daughter saying, logically, that I should talk to her.
Which I would if I could.
The most common references to Yovanoff on the Internet refer to her playing the role of an eco-terrorist in the 2003 independent Canadian film, Valley Party Girls.
The video spoof, written by Toronto comedian Ron Sparks, features a group of frat boys and beach girls ("They're hot, cute and on the loose") who stymie the evil plans of a polluting industrialist.
I emailed Yovanoff to ask her about the film. She did not answer. But I got an immediate reply from NDP headquarters in Ottawa.
NDP headquarters said no such film exists.
In fact it does. Sparks recalls it fondly as a "slapdash parody of beach/nerd films."
But, he said, he remembers with "100 per cent certainty" that Nicole Yovanoff was not in the video.
"There was no eco-terrorist character at all," he explained in an e-mail, noting that some former York students listed on-line as having been associated with Valley Party Girls played no role in the film whatsoever.
So we know that candidate Yovanoff did not star in Valley Party Girls.
Other than that, we do not know much. Given that she (or someone with the same name) graduated from high school in Alliston 16 years ago, we can surmise that she's in her mid-30s.
A Nicole "Hotpants" Yovanoff is listed on the internet as having donated $1.03 to something called the 1-second film. But that could be another imposter.
We do know that Yovanoff's brother, playwright and musician Jean-Paul (also listed as an actor in Valley Party Girls), ran for the provincial NDP in 2003. He came in a distant third.
And we know that she is not the only candidate in this election keeping a deliberately non-existent profile.
Earlier this month, the Star reported that Katarina von Koenig, the Conservatives' mystery candidate in Toronto-Danforth also has no campaign office, also refuses media interviews and also is skipping the riding's all-candidates' debate.
That came as no surprise. We expect nothing less of Stephen Harper's obsessively secretive Conservatives. But Saint Jack?

Batteries for electric vehicles commonly available much like gasoline [closed]
Closed. This question is opinion-based. It is not currently accepting answers.
Want to improve this question? Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post.
Closed 1 year ago.
I mostly want to focus on the practical / mechanical perspective of this question.
I have thought already many times on buying a small electric motorcycle for daily commute etc but i wouldn't min to have small excursion/trip on it (even on these reduced speeds). What blocks me though is that it has such a limited range and such a big time of recharging that even i decided to take the (heavy and bulky) charger along with me and even i could find a power supply available anywhere, i would need to spend at least 2 hours of charging for every 100km of riding, reducing my average speed from 50km/h(an average small electric motorcycle speed) to a silly 25km/h.
So... if all vehicles manufacturers and batteries manufacturers had a standardized type of batteries (or a few if for some reason voltage cannot be the same in cars and motorcycles) that would fit all vehicles (or at least all vehicles of a given type) and would be modular in a way that a larger car would fit e.g 8 cells and a smaller car 5 cells and a motorcycle 3 cells etc, then if these cells would be produced in massive numbers (rendering them cheaper than normal vehicle batteries) could it be that they would be available in every gas station and/or remotely "desert" charging (via solar cells) stations so that it would be easy for a vehicle to pay and interchange it's empty battery with a full one without having to wait for long period?
These solar cells could be sold separately from the vehicle and thus piping the cost to the final consumer also when going to the charge station you could have your "empty" batteries overall state (age and capacity) examined and upon switching with the "charged" ones a small variance in price could be applied etc.
I can clearly see the financial and political implications of such a model but do you find this case to only belong in Worldbuilding???

I drive an electric car and I would not want to exchange batteries. I use slow charging (overnight) and rarely charge to 100% because I intend to keep the car for 20+ years -- I don't want to get a battery someone has done a bunch of fast charging on and abused. – Kathy Feb 11 '19 at 15:31
How is this a question about motor vehicle maintenance and repair? – David Richerby Feb 11 '19 at 17:53
@DavidRicherby The scope of the site is a bitter wider than the title implies. See related meta Are questions about automotive history on topic? – James Jenkins Feb 11 '19 at 18:36
One of the biggest problems to solve in electric vehicles at the moment is battery - if the battery can be made more efficient, lighter the cumulative increases in efficiency makes the vehicle much more desirable to customers.
Sharing a standard battery is a good idea eventually but currently there are two forces against that:
At a time of such investment in R&D to restrict the batteries to a standard could limit how easily these can be implemented into new vehicles
The battery is one area that gives companies a competitive edge - if you're limited to share the innovation you make you see less of the profit
Once the improvements to be made here begin to peter off I'm sure you'll see a greater push towards standardised batteries - as you say, there is no other direction if we're to replace internal combustion cars - but I don't expect this is something we'll see in the near future.
Lio ElbammalfLio Elbammalf
+1 from me for providing the most probable reasons why that has not yet happened. – kokobill Feb 11 '19 at 13:41
Actually, a Tesla uses standard batteries, and they are made by Panasonic, not by Tesla. See my answer for details why you won't be changing batteries in a Tesla, however. – juhist Feb 11 '19 at 13:45
@juhist Tesla's battery modules are custom, and in fact the cells are too, even though they're standard 18650 or 2170 sized and built in collaboration with Panasonic. The Tesla Model S is designed with battery swapping in mind, although they eventually decided against battery swapping stations. – user1908704 Feb 11 '19 at 13:54
@user1908704 Interesting... I guess you could swap only Tesla Model S batteries with other Tesla Model S batteries? I mean, surely you can't be swapping Model S batteries with that of Model X or, say, Nissan Leaf? – juhist Feb 11 '19 at 13:55
@juhist I think Model S and Model X are both swappable, but you can't swap one into another. The Model 3 isn't swappable (or rather it is, but you have to take apart the interior to do so, so not exactly feasible on the highway) – user1908704 Feb 11 '19 at 14:00
I'm not entirely sure that this question fits the primary purpose of this group BUT I have to say that I've long wondered why electric car manufacturers don't standardise on a battery format and devise some sort of unattended method of battery replacement.
I thought something that you drive the car onto and then the battery pack is ejected from underneath and a new one slotted in from underneath could work. From an engineering perspective, I guess the only risk is that when the battery is removed from the vehicle, the vehicle would be immobile until the new battery was fitted.
You could then re-engineer existing fuel stations to be equipped with some sort of charging rack in which incoming batteries would be installed and fully charged ones would be taken from.
I guess the biggest issue is that EV manufacturers have already established that they're going in another direction with the idea that batteries remain in the vehicle and are charged. Given that the format of the pins on the charging points vary wildly, the chances of getting manufacturers to standardise on a battery format are slim. I guess the thing stopping this is market forces, not engineering challenges. I guess that the only way that would change would be legislative changes from either one major or a small group of governments.
Steve MatthewsSteve Matthews
What you do if your fresh and brand new pack gets exchanged with an already heavily used one and your energy back just dies due to wear? Would it be like its kept track of where your former packs went and you can request to get your old pack back? Would there be some sort of insurance for it? Who would be supposed to pay that insurance? Or would it just be a lottery like system, where you can just hope the pack you get won't die till you have a new one, and if it does so, the damage is on you? Seems to be like an very financial risky system for the individual users, no matter how you solve it. – Zaibis Feb 11 '19 at 11:33
@Zaibis Similar systems are already in place with items like compressed gas cannisters. Essentially the cannister/battery belongs to the system and the user pays a deposit to take temporary possession. Any time a user swaps one battery for another (which would almost always be the case with vehicle batteries) there is no need for a deposit. When each battery decays to a pre-determined performance point it's identified by the charging system and removed from service. – Dan Feb 11 '19 at 11:45
@Dan: interesting. thanks for the analogy (if it is even one). – Zaibis Feb 11 '19 at 11:49
@Dan Except that gas canisters have a very long life, canisters are very physically robust and hard to damage, the canister is relatively inexpensive to make, and there is little resale/scrap potential in a gas canister. All of those are the exact opposite for a battery pack. – Graham Feb 11 '19 at 12:47
Using sealed battery assemblies, it would be possible to have the purchase price of the battery include a deposit and a wear credit, and then bill people based upon energy stored and retrieved. A home charger set up for use with such a system would credit people for energy stored, while charging for energy retrieved. The biggest difficulty would be the major incentive for people to create counterfeit battery packs and exchange them for legit ones. – supercat Feb 11 '19 at 18:00
This idea is old, like OLD (1890s), but so far nobody has been able to set it up in a financially viable way.
The steam car, the internal combustion engine automobile, and the electric car emerged as the main competing technologies in the late 1890s until the 1920s. The concept of exchangeable battery service was first proposed as early as 1896 in order to overcome the limited operating range of electric cars and trucks.
The concept was first put into practice by Hartford Electric Light Company through the GeVeCo battery service and was initially available for electric trucks. The vehicle owner purchased the vehicle from General Vehicle Company (GeVeCo, a subsidiary of the General Electric Company) without a battery and the electricity was purchased from Hartford Electric through an exchangeable battery. The owner paid a variable per-mile charge and a monthly service fee to cover maintenance and storage of the truck. Both vehicles and batteries were modified to facilitate a fast battery exchange. The service was provided between 1910 and 1924 and during that period vehicles using it covered more than 6 million miles. Beginning in 1917 a similar service was operated in Chicago for owners of Milburn Light Electric cars who also could buy the vehicle without the batteries.
Better Place company
Better Place was a venture-backed international company that developed and sold battery-charging and battery-switching services for electric cars. It was formally based in Palo Alto, California, but the bulk of its planning and operations were steered from Israel, where both its founder Shai Agassi and its chief investors resided.
[...] The company's financial difficulties were caused by mismanagement, wasteful efforts to establish toeholds and run pilots in too many countries, the high investment required to develop the charging and swapping infrastructure, and a market penetration far lower than originally predicted by Shai Agassi.
[...] The QuickDrop battery switch system would enable Renault Fluence Z.E.'s battery, the only vehicle deployed in the Better Place network, to be swapped in approximately three minutes at dedicated battery exchange stations.
A video of the process can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd0WPw3p2MQ
David MulderDavid Mulder
There was a similar scheme in... I want to say Saudi Arabia? It ran into the exact same problems. Each "station" ended up needing an entire warehouse to store/charge batteries, and cost five times (or more) greater than predicted to be built, and had higher running costs than expected too. – Baldrickk Feb 11 '19 at 11:53

Yeah, posted my answer a couple minutes before you, but yours is better formatted. I suspect we were both writing at the same time. – James Jenkins Feb 11 '19 at 16:46
One possible solution is a flow battery. Electrolyte could be replaced in very much the same way as we refill a car.
The downside though is that the electrolyte is some kind of strong acid. You think spilling flammable petroleum products are a problem? Try spilling acid which will eat through your clothes, your leg, your car bodywork, the concrete floor...
It's still a viable solution. The engineering to keep the acid in and the rest of the world out is non-trivial though, so we'd need a really good reason to do it.
This is currently in use in Taiwan for scooters.
A record 20,915 new electric scooters were registered last year, nearly double the previous year's number. Consumers were drawn in by government subsidies, along with a quick and convenient battery exchange system devised by a local startup. Source
Yamaha and Gogoro have both proven to be powerful forces in the light electric vehicle industry. Gogoro has a line of highly successful scooters based on their battery-swapping technology, and Yamaha just rolled their four latest electric bicycle models into shops in the US.
Now the two companies have announced that they will be joining forces on swappable-battery electric scooters, leveraging the strengths of both players. Source

I just noticed your answer after I posted; I live in Taipei and these look really fun! Scooters are so widely used here and have such a high density that it has a good business model that might not scale easily to other countries. – uhoh Feb 11 '19 at 16:45
@uhoh It could work regionally we have bike share and electric scooter rental here in Pittsburgh PA, that seem to be doing ok. – James Jenkins Feb 11 '19 at 16:49

The problem with standarized, replacable batteries is with their size. In common electric cars, battery(-pack) is as big as the whole car:
I don't see the way to easily swap it to charged one on the battery gas station. It is possible to place different kind of batteries in, for example, trunk, but low placement of battery pack has additional benefit of lowering the mass center.
Honda apparently is working on charging-by-replacing batteries in their bikes (smaller batteries than in cars):

crueltearcrueltear
also an interesting answer. I had no idea that the battery in electric cars was THAT big, but still even if it was to be consisted out of 50 "cell pieces" it would be faster to switch these than wait for 2 (or i guess even more for a car) hours. – kokobill Feb 11 '19 at 13:39
To swap them, you'd have to lie on the ground and get dirty. Then, you'd have to somehow extract those 50 cells, meaning they would have to be in some kind of safe container with handles (larger cell, less cells in car). Battery backs are also cooled/heated (at least in Tesla). Replacable batteries seem to be possible only in small vehicles, such as bikes. – crueltear Feb 11 '19 at 13:44
my whole question initiated on the bike domain but i still get your point... – kokobill Feb 11 '19 at 13:48
Honda is currently checking electric/hybrid bikes in Asian countries, and are going to use swappable batteries. They are going to see how people use those bikes - experimental phase seems to be too early for standarization (why standarize, when nobody is going to use it?). Also, electirc Honda PCX has no storage space, due to batteries - not exactly best thing in bike used for daily commute. – crueltear Feb 11 '19 at 13:51
Not going to happen.
It is widely accepted that the best electric cars today are Tesla. While somebody could argue their frameless door windows, big external size, big wheels with practically no tire left, etc. are just for show and not for go, the technology in Teslas exceeds that of the technology in other electric cars.
So, let's take a look how Tesla uses batteries.
The batteries in Tesla are cylindrical cells, 18650 or 2170. 18650 has approximately 3 Ah of capacity, whereas 2170 has approximately 6 Ah. It watt-hours it's 10.8 or 21.6 watt hours, or in kilojoules it's 38.9 kJ or 77.8 kJ. A liter of gasoline is 36 MJ, so these figures correspond to about 1 or 2 milliliters of gasoline. So, if you are going to change these batteries, you will be changing energy 1 or 2 milliliters at a time. See the problem?
Ok, somebody could claim that best gasoline vehicles (=hybrid) are only 33% efficient, so in reality you will be changing energy 3 or 6 milliliters gasoline equivalent at a time.
These batteries in Tesla are hidden under the floor of the car, giving low center of gravity (thus safe and good handling), good behaviour in a car crash, huge electric range, a front trunk (frunk) where you can store stuff, etc. Although in theory the cells can be changed, in practice you don't do it. The Tesla cells typically last for the life of the vehicle, because you are using only tiny fraction of the cell capacities in typical driving.
Now, could you make the cells into larger multi-cell units? Yep, perhaps you could. In fact, Toyota has made the NiMH battery into a single unit. The trouble is that the tiny 1.6 kWh unit in RAV4 hybrid weighs about 70 kilograms and in this particular Toyota it takes some trunk space in the rear because it's not under the floor of the vehicle. Also, the units would differ in ideal dimensions between cars (and between different locations in the same car) to make use of the available space most efficient, making standardization difficult. Additionally, you need to lift the car up to change the cells in Tesla under the floor of the car.
Changeable batteries thus are not going to happen. The situation is similar to mobile phones. Making the battery difficult to change allows thin phones, which customers prefer. Making the cells difficult to change in a car allows low center of gravity even in a SUV, good and safe handling, crash safety, lots of storage space, long range, etc., which customers prefer, again.
In some manner, the cells actually are standardized in Tesla. They are very similar in size to common laptop cells, just use a slightly different chemistry that has been optimized for automotive use and for low cost. But, this standardized size means a single Tesla has a huge number of cells in difficult to access places.
However, there are several things that are going to happen, making electric passenger vehicles a reality:
Battery cost will go down and size will go up.
Quick charging will become more prevalent, allowing you to charge your car partially (not to 100% level, though, as the last few percent will be slow) while on a coffee break
A secondary market will form for cells that have lost half or so of their capacity, and are thus not ideal for automotive use, but can be used to store wind and solar power in an electric grid for the rest of their useful life. Thus, the battery replacement will be cheaper than it is now, because you get a refund for partially useful cells.
juhistjuhist
There is a reliability problem with this idea that might not be obvious. To give a real-world analogy, four-engine planes have more engine problems per flying hour that two-engine planes, simply because there are twice as many engines for the faults to occur in.
If you split the "car battery" into multiple replaceable units, you multiply the reliability problems caused by bad connectors and bad individual units. If a problem like that leaves the car stranded somewhere, who pays to sort the problem out? The charging station doesn't "own" the batteries it charges and swaps, and neither does the car owner. So who picks up the cost arising from the faulty battery?
One good feature of conventional fuels is that they are a very standardized product - you can buy gas anywhere without even considering whether there going to be a problem with the fuel you just bought. You would need to make swappable batteries as reliable as that, which might be a hard engineering problem. Of course gas stations do sometimes screw up and have pumps dispensing the wrong fuel, but this is so rare and the consequences happen so quickly that it's clear where the blame lies.

This is one of the reasons I really like the idea of hydrogen fuel cell powered cars - you could fill them like you do a petrol car. Unfortunately physics hasn't been so "enthusiastic" at letting us figure out a way to properly make them feasible for mass market. – Baldrickk Feb 11 '19 at 11:55
Of course having some sort of system which swaps over batteries could have diagnostic testing built into it so if a battery is removed from a vehicle and found to be bad, it could be removed from circulation at that point. Depending on the system design, a vehicle with a single bad battery could potentially be driven at reduced power and display a message to return to the nearest "fuel" station. – Steve Matthews Feb 11 '19 at 12:15
@alphazero VERY interesting approach... I guess the end user is responsible in such a case but still a "modular" type battery with per say 8 cells one of which would fail for some technical reason would still work just with 7/8 of it's original capacity, thus requiring only a sooner re-charge – kokobill Feb 11 '19 at 13:35
Actually, a Tesla has the battery made from a huge number of 18650 / 2170 units. I don't see them failing at a great rate. – juhist Feb 11 '19 at 13:48
Tesla at a point did feature a way to swap the entire empty battery assembly for a fully loaded one. The showcased process required only a prepared station the car would roll over and about 90 seconds later it could roll off with a full battery.
But then the abundance of free and fast superchargers offered a more compelling alternative and the project never really moved out of the pilot phase. Especially when considering that the ACTUAL process instead of 90 seconds took about seven minutes, was partially automated but partially still manual work (that can go wrong), required a pre-negotiated appointment and the car owner had to pay for it. On top of that, the vehicle did not recognize the new battery as such and continued to count the distance achieved with a supposedly single charge. Owners also were worried about the possibility of giving away their brand new but empty batteries for an old and worn out, albeit full one and thereby losing on maximum charge capacity, and thus vehicle price.
So probably all of these has lead to the state in which we are now, where the program is effectively dead, and based on the experiences no other vendor is rushing to implement their own version of it. In Musk's own words:
"People don't care about pack swap. The superchargers are fast enough. Based on what we're seeing here, it's unlikely to be something that's worth expanding in the future unless something changes."

I still need to give Mansel a try. Hope you have a good week!
Lovely idea Tina, look forward to your joining us.
The books look lovely. I am especially interested in A Family Recipe!
You had some good reading this past week. The fires are crazy and even we are getting smoke down here in the lower east bay. My husband had to come home early today b/c he works in the valley in the upper east bay and the air quality level was seriously bad.
Wow Stefanie, I do hope they get control of those fires soon – so huge and devastating.
For people in the US, last week felt like it was a billion years long. I'm so tired! Those fires in California are crazy. I hope they get under control soon. Have a great week!
The fires are so tragic. It's just been heartbreaking to watch. I like the look of The Girl in Time Square and I have the Julia Quinn on my TBR. Have a great week!
Sounds like a good reading week for you – such variety! Nice that you are enjoying re-reading some old favorites. I don't do that as often as I should.
Hope you enjoy your books this week, too – thanks for hosting the link-up!
A Family Recipe looks really cute!
You got in a lot of reading! I'm not much of a re-reader because I have so many new ones that I want to get to! However, there are some on my list that I'd like to read again, especially classics that I read in high school that maybe didn't appreciate much at that age! Those ones that you've featured are all new to me, enjoy!
Hi! I love to reread books. And I love Paulina Simons but haven't gotten around to reading Girl in Times Square yet. 🤷🏻♀ Have a great week!
These look great. Would love to read A Family Recipe. Have a great week.
Last week was a super busy week any way you look at it!
I love the cover of The One You Really Want. enjoyyour reading week!
I'd read The Girl In Times Square, and I'd probably try the Jill Mansell book too, even though I didn't care for the last book I read of hers.
Nice reading week for you!!
A FAMILY RECIPE has such a cute cover…I am glad it was an enjoyable read. I'll have to check it out.
Have a great week. I can't believe it is another Monday and the second Monday in November. Yikes on this time flying by.
One of these days I have to read Nalini Singh. Hope you have a good week with Happy Reading!
It has been quite a momentous week! The fires in California are of course terrible, and the elections over here… yikes what a week! 🙂 And the Armistice celebration also.
Your urban fantasy book looks fun! I'm trying to read more of that genre.
I enjoyed that series by Susan Howatch too. Loved her early work as well. The Julia Quinn book is on the TBR list. Have a great week.
I've heard great things about Jill Mansell but have yet to read her books. Enjoy your new book and your re-read.
Jill Mansell's books are light reads with great characters and fun.
All of your books look good, but The Girl in Times Square especially has my interest. Have a great week!
I am now eager to read my copy of The Girl in Times Square. You have several tempting books to add to my list. Thanks for sharing.
I do believe you'd enjoy it Laurel-Rain.

The K.U.N By Timothy Stetson
The K.U.N places you in the shoes as Matthew Ryan, the world's greatest spy, and he's only eight-teen! The story will take you from what seemed like a standard confrontation to an epic battle with... More > the civilized world on the brink of destruction. All this and poor Matthew still has to complete his senior year! Get ready for a non-stop action adventure that is slightly different from the norm. Get ready, for the K.U.N!< Less


EagleSpeak: The Littoral "Combat" Ship Fantasy Goes On and On and . . .
So can't use Q20 or OASIS from the MH-60S. How is it contributing to the MIW module again? Just AMNS plus ALMDS (which has its own issues)?
IMHO, losing Q20 and OASIS from the airborne suite calls into question the entire rationale for the MH-60S in the MIW module. Maybe we need to look at bigger helos (e.g. AW101).
Maybe we could find/develop a larger helo that could do ASuW, ASW and MIW with just component and crew switch-out.
So...in other words the LCS if designed as its mission is stated is a Helicopter destroyer like the new Japanese Beauty.
Or basically everything but the LCS.
What's there to like about the LCS? Scrap the LCS designation and give the ships to the Coast Guard. Start with a clean page.
What did the Coast Guard do to you?
The Coast Guard can't afford ships with huge fuel usage that probably won't last 20-25 years.


A dataset that you choose depending on your own insterests. It may be a dataset you are working with for your research or your job. It should contain enough instances (at least 500 instances) and several attributes (at least 10). Ideally it should contain a good mix of numeric and nominal attributes.
Code: Use the Weka system to mine the association rules as well as for preparing the data and presenting the results. Code by yourself any functionality that you need for manipulating the data and that is not offered in the Weka system.
You can restrict your experiments to a subset of the dataset if Weka cannot handle the whole dataset. But remember that the more representative the association rules you mine from the data, the better.
Use the preprocessing techniques discussed in class to select, clean, and normalize the data.
Define concept hierarchies over the different attributes so that you can analyze your data at different levels of generality.
Experiments: After you have cleaned and selected a subset of your data (if necessary), mine association rules using different parameter (confidence, support, etc.) settings. Analyze the resulting rules and repeat the experiment with other "view" of the data given by generalizing/specializing your data according to the concept hierarchies and/or by selecting different portions of the data.
Results: Assume that you as the user/miner you want to obtain association rules for decision support, for understanding the data better, and/or for increasing your company's profit. Mine rules until you obtain a collection of rules that satisfies this objective.
Code Description: Describe the code that you used/wrote. Remember to acknowledge any sources of information/code you used.
Describe what the objective of your analysis is. Is it to understand the data better? If so, what about the data you want to understand? Or is it for decision support? If so, what decisions you need to make based on the data? Or is it for classification/characterization/discrimination purposes? Explain.
Instances: What data did you use for the experiments?
Any pre-processing done to improve the quality of your results.
Any post-processing done to improve the quality of your results.
Analysis of results of the experiment and their significance.
What was the best collection of association rules that you obtained? Describe.
Discuss the strengths and the weaknesses of your project.
Oral Report. We will discuss the results from the individual projects during the class on March 2nd. Be ready to show your results and to discuss your project in class. PREPARE SLIDES SHOWING YOUR WORK.

Q: Is \tikzpictextoptions not supposed to contain the text after the quotes only? \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{quotes}

\begin{document}

\tikzset{
    thing/.pic={
        \node {\tikzpictext};
        \node at (0,1) {\tikzpictextoptions};
    }
}

\begin{tikzpicture}
    \pic["foo"'bar] {thing};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

This renders "foo" as expected, but the node at (0,1) shows:
every pic quotes/.try,',bar

I expected "'bar".
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Actually, I'm trying to pass 3 arguments to the pic style and according to the manual the quotes functionality should be good for 1 or 2 (to start with).

Road SportsCar IMSA IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship 2017 Acura NSX GT3 Car Photos – Rolex 24 Driver Pairings Set Revealed
2017 Acura NSX GT3 Car Photos – Rolex 24 Driver Pairings Set Revealed
Updated: February 23rd, 2017 at 12:12 am
2017 Acura NSX GT3 Car Photos Released – Arcua NSX GT3 Cars will Run Rolex 24 at Daytona
The 2016 Arcura NSX GT3 car will run in the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. View the 2017 Acura GT3 photos from the Michael Shank Racing team.
The two-car Michael Shank Racing effort in the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will feature striking "mirror image" black, grey and white graphics on the team's pair of Acura NSX GT3 entries.
The #86 car, commemorating Acura's 30th anniversary since its establishment in 1986, will have a black nose, fading to a grey cross hatch pattern before giving way to white at the rear. The #93 team car, representing 1993, the year HPD was founded, will reverse the color pattern, with a white front end transitioning to a black rear deck.
Acura's rich heritage of success in sports car racing is reflected in the design.
Splashes of orange, a traditional color for Acura Motorsports dating to the company's first era of IMSA competition in the 1990s, and green, indicating that the cars are GT Daytona class entries, complete the graphic package on both cars.
"The debut of the Acura NSX GT3 at the prestigious Rolex 24 will mark the return of the Acura brand to IMSA sports car competition," said Art St. Cyr, president of Honda Performance Development (HPD) and Acura Motorsports.
He continued, "We've aimed to race the NSX in North America since the car was just a sketch on paper, and we couldn't more excited than to debut at Daytona."
MSR team principal Michael Shank has also revealed the driver lineups for each of the team's two Acura NSX GT3 racers.
Second-generation racer and IndyCar Series race winner Graham Rahal will join series regulars Andy Lally and Katherine Legge in the #93 NSX GT3, joined by endurance racer Mark Wilkins.
The team's #86 Acura will feature Indy 500 and IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay alongside full-season drivers Jeff Segal and Oswaldo "Ozz" Negri, Jr.; with Tom Dyer completing the endurance race lineup.
All eight drivers will take part in the January 6-8 "Roar Before the 24", IMSA series open test prior to January 28-29 Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway, the opening round of the 12-race 2017 WeatherTech Championship.

The Lotus Elite Sports Car
from Classic to Modern
Elite On The Track
1960 Lotus Elite Really going for that bend in a Pre 1963 GT race at the 2013 Donington Historic Festival
1962 Lotus Elite
The Lotus Elite sports car was created by Colin Chapman in 1956 as a street car, in the first instance.
The first two door, two seater prototype was presented at the 1957 Earls Court Motor Show in London.
Following its debut, the Elite spent a further year undergoing a programme of development prior to production.
It was the very first production car to be built with a fibreglass monocoque construction.
It succeeded the Lotus Seven, with its sheet metal body and tubular space frame chassis.
On the other hand, the Elite was a stylish, fixed head coupe, with a drag coefficient of only 0.29, which was astonishingly low for that time.
Also known as the Lotus 14, it was launched in 1959, and was conceived as a competition sports car.
The standard version used an aluminium, 1216 cc, straight 4-cylinder, overhead cam, Coventry Climax engine, developing 71 bhp, and with a single SU carburettor.
It had four wheel, 9.5 inch Girling disc brakes, without servo assistance, had a top speed of 113 mph, and a 0-60 mph time of 13.2 secs.
The standard gearbox was a four speed MG unit, but a four speed all synchromesh, close ratio ZF box was offered as an optional extra.
The Elite had the unrivalled handling of the Lotus Seven, presented in a more traditional body styling.
The four wheel independent suspension used coil springs at the front, and a form of MacPherson strut at the rear. The steering was by Rack and Pinion.
A higher performance, special equipment (SE) Lotus model was introduced in 1960, and featured a ZF gearbox, two SU carburettors, and a modified exhaust manifold, which developed 85 bhp.
This was followed by the Elite Super 95 variant, which developed 95 bhp from a higher tuned engine, with a higher compression ratio, and a modified camshaft.
Limited edition variants included the Super 100 and Super 105 models, fitted with two, twin choke Webber 40DCOE carburettors, developing 130 bhp and 137 bhp respectively, and designed specifically for racing.

The Lotus Elite sports car used a glass reinforced plastic (GRP) monocoque body structure, with the front of the construction incorporating a steel subframe, which supported the the engine and front suspension.
Maximar Mouldings, a well known boat builder, were given the initial contract to build the first 250 body structures, giving rise to the Series 1 Elite.
This used a single SU carburettor, had a compression ratio of 10.0:1, and gave an overall fuel consumption of 40 mpg.
As a result of early problems, this work was subsequently handed over to the Bristol Aeroplane Company, who produced both a lighter and stronger structure, which was designated the Series 2.
This model was fitted with two SU carburettors.
The Series 2 sports car featured an improved rear suspension, with upgrades being made to the interior panels, as well as increasing the level of engine tuning.
However, there were early failures at Bristol in relation to the mounting points for the differential and rear suspension, but these were soon rectified by the introduction of metal reinforcements at the weak points.
Subsequently, production methods were refined so that such inserts were no longer required.
However, the problems associated with GRP were, at that time, still not fully understood, with the result that it was not uncommon for the suspension attachment points to pull away from the fibreglass structure.
Further, a number of components situated in the drivetrain were subjected to high levels of stress, which necessitated regular re-greasing.
The Elite was offered as a kit car, which was regarded as a mistake for a company regarding itself as a quality manufacturer.
It has been estimated that Lotus lost £100 on every Elite built, due to the fact that the car was underpriced, quality control was poor, and the production process was too expensive for a company that was, in effect, underfunded.
Its racing achievements included six Class wins at the Le Mans 24 hour race, and two wins in the Index of Thermal Performance.
In terms of Lotus models, a 1960-1961 Elite is still in demand on the second hand market, if you can find one. In fact, as a used Lotus, it can sell for anything from £35,000 to £80,000.
Between 1959 and 1963, when production ended, a total of 1,030 Lotus Elites were built.
It was succeeded by the Lotus Elan sports car in 1963.

Our commitment to animal welfare is a top priority, this step is important for standardizing and auditing our efforts on a global scale.
Animal Welfare is a key priority in the Hendrix Genetics Sustainability Program. Many years have been dedicated to the development of an Animal Welfare Program that could apply to all species within Hendrix Genetics. The key to continued success of this program is finding ways to keep performance levels up and to identify when and where improvements are needed. Yearly audits offer a way to monitor performance and our turkey business unit has made significant efforts in this area to ensure we have certified auditors on staff to complete these audits.
The largest number of auditors on our team are certified through PAACO, with fifteen employees certified throughout North America and Europe. The mission of PAACO is, "to promote the humane treatment of animals through education and certification of animal auditors, as well as the review and/or certification of animal audit instruments, assessments, and programs." Since PAACO's establishment, Hendrix Genetics has been actively involved in the program. We have provided instructors for various training events and also help PAACO candidates, such as customers, allied industry or government, achieve their certification by providing shadow audits and guidance throughout the process.
Two exciting milestones are that the first and only PAACO Certified Poultry Welfare Auditors in France and Poland are employees of Hendrix Genetics!
Having trained auditors and performing audits on a regular basis allow us to continually enhance the welfare of the animals in our care and to lead the industry in best practices. Although the training and certifications referenced in this article pertain to poultry, we can use the expertise of these auditors and the programs they have been trained in, across all species within Hendrix Genetics, as well as to aid customers in ensuring the best care possible for their animals.
I'm convinced that Animal Welfare is a key factor for our future success. It'll never be a constraint but rather an advantage. We are, and will be, proud of the benefits of good practices with our animals.
