Q: Is there a BibTeX package for referencing other records within the BibTeX file? Displaying this? I want to understand the relationships between a set of papers in a bibtex file, with regards to who authored what, and which references which, within the file.
Suppose the paper \cite{A} references \cite{B}, and both of them reference \cite{C}.
I want a BibTeX file that has this information, say like this:
@incollection{A,
    Author = {Mr A},
    Booktitle = {A Book},
    Title = {Title of A},
    Year = {2010},
    Internalrefs = {B,C}
}

@incollection{B,
    Author = {Mr B},
    Booktitle = {B Book},
    Title = {Title of B},
    Year = {2009},
    Internalrefs = {C}
}

@incollection{C,
    Author = {Mr C},
    Booktitle = {C Book},
    Title = {Title of C},
    Year = {1910},
    Internalrefs = {}
}

With that entry I could, for example, draw a directed graph of entries within the BibTeX file.  I suppose I can do this with a custom field, but I wondered if it has been done, or if there is a better way.
I'd like to display for example
Metadata for paper A.  [B,C]
Metadata for paper B. [C]
Metadata for paper C.

Or alternatively just a graph with directed edges (A,B), (A,C), and possibly nodes for authors too, pointing to the papers they have published, and other authors they published with.

A: The BibTeX "crossref" field does what you want. For an example (I've stripped some irrelevant information):
@inproceedings{DBLP:conf/atva/EsikFLQ13,
title     = {Kleene Algebras and Semimodules for Energy Problems},
crossref  = {DBLP:conf/atva/2013}
}

@proceedings{DBLP:conf/atva/2013,
title     = {Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis - 11th
           International Symposium, ATVA 2013, Hanoi, Vietnam, October
           15-18, 2013. Proceedings},
booktitle = {ATVA},
publisher = {Springer}
}

Now for a tool which uses crossrefs to extract a directed citation graph; this would certainly be cool, but I've never ran across any.

Narrenbäume - the book - Wilhelm W. Reinke bei Kunst ist!
In the book NARRENBÄUME, Wilhelm W. Reinke addresses the ambiguous relationship between human and nature. Naked people are sometimes in a unity and sometimes in contrast to expressive trees - as a symbol of pure nature.
In the relationship of human beeings to nature, the tree has always played a symbolic role, just think of the "tree of knowledge" or the concept of the "family tree". People who live surrounded by trees are happier, healthier and live longer. Trees provide shade, improve the climate and enrich the body and mind. Humans as a "fool" are destroying the diversity of the habitat tree and nature.
These thoughts were taken up in the photo production and in the end are intended to stimulate the viewer to reconsider his behavior towards nature at least for a moment. In the contrasts light and shadow, black and white, light and dark, the "light painter" Reinke shows the mutual assignment of these connections. The idea of "not eating out of the tree of knowledge" should be interpreted further today, "to no longer consume it - and thus nature - but to protect it and multiply it again."
The photos were taken in different places around the world, such as Madagascar, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, France, USA and Indonesia. Among the trees shown include u.a. maple, birch, pear, beech, ginkgo, but also exotics such as baobab, giant sequoia, date palm, cypress, dragon tree, eucalyptus, fig and even two-thousand-year-old olive trees.

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu Wants to Name Golan Heights Settlement to Honor Donald Trump
Amanda Casanova | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Wednesday, April 24, 2019
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to name a new settlement in Golan Heights in honor of President Donald Trump to thank the U.S. for its support.
Netanyahu was touring the settlement this week when he said he would propose a resolution to name a new community after Trump.
"All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights," Netanyahu said in a video released this week.
The announcement comes after Trump officially recognized Israeli sovereignty over the territory the country captured from Syria in 1967.
"Any possible future peace agreement in the region must account for Israel's need to protect itself from Syria and other regional threats," the Trump's proclamation said. "Based on these unique circumstances, it is therefore appropriate to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights."
According to the Christian Post, at the signing of the proclamation in March Netanyahu said that Israel has "never had a better friend" than Trump.
The regional council governing Golan Heights also released a statement to the New York Times about Netanyahu's proposal, saying the naming "complements the aspiration and the goal we have set to double the number of residents of the Golan with a decade."
According to reports, Israel plans to increase the population in the Golan Heights -- which was annexed by Israel in 1981 -- to some 250,000 by 2048.
According to the Associated Press, some 20,000 Israelis currently live in Golan Heights communities.
The Syrian government has said the proclamation recognizing Israel over the area is a "blatant attack" on Syria. According to the Christian Post, Syria's foreign ministry said the proclamation makes "the United States the main enemy of the Arabs."

Q: How do I switch small AC signal on/off electrically? Suppose I have an audio signal source.
I want to connect and disconnect it to amplifier electrically (for example controlled by another source, like microcontroller, sensor, 555, etc). I don't want to turn the signal source on or off itself, as it takes some time to start, I just want to connect/disconnect its output. How can I do that?

A: You can use an analog switch like the 74HC4066, or a better specified one from Analog Devices (mainly lower on-resistance).

Another solution used in some Premium HiFi amplifiers is a reed relay. These are electromechanical relays, so they need some power to switch, the analog switches can often do with 1 \$\mu\$A or less.

Dr. Millon and his co-authors have developed eight different personality assessments, each targeted to a specific clinical population. These inventories are more than another "objective" tool in the diagnostician's assessment kit. They provide clinicians with a theoretical foundation for mastering the realm of clinical and personality pathology, a means for understanding the principles that underlie their patient's functional and dysfunctional behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Moreover, the openness of the theory not only illuminates the patient's personal life but encourages the clinician to deduce and uncover insights beyond those on which the inventories interpretive reports have been grounded.
Click on the assessments below to learn more about their uses and applications, as well as the reports that are available for each inventory.

Watch this Israeli robot face off against a marksman in a live-fire demo
By: Seth J. Frantzman May 31
Israel's General Robotics has demonstrated what it says is the world's first operational armed robot, the DOGO. (Seth J. Frantzman/Staff)
BEIT NEHEMIA, Israel — Israel's General Robotics has demonstrated what it says is the world's first operational armed robot, aimed at providing special forces and homeland security personnel an unmanned vehicle when confronting adversaries.
Defense News attended the live-fire demo of the DOGO tactical robot this month in central Israel.
The company's CEO, Shahar Gal, said the idea of armed robots is controversial because of media depictions of "killer robots" like those in "RoboCop." DOGO's movements and weaponry, however, are controlled by a person using a hand-held, tablet-like device, rather than artificial intelligence.
Gal said the 10-kilogram robot is operational in Israel, India and France. According to the company, a country expressed interest in acquiring the robot the same week as the live-fire demonstration.
DOGO is meant to be a solution to what Gal called the "fatal funnel" of urban counterterror operations, such as doorways, hallways and stairwells, by providing enhanced situational awareness and lethality.
"One of the major problems [security forces] face is friendly fire issues," Gal said. "Let's say there is a terrorist behind a wall, and I'm asking you to go check it out and people are sent into a situation where they are under fire and may make bad decisions."
The robot is controlled by a hand-held device with triggers underneath it to operate the Glock 9mm handgun with which the robot is armed, and it has a safety latch to prevent accidents.

After driving around an office and climbing stairs, the robot was put to the test on a shooting range. It shot 10 balloons and competed against a marksman, grouping its shots with a laser pointer projected by the robot that shows the targeted area.
With eight cameras for a 360-degree view, it is 1.6 feet long and can drive at 3 mph with a two- to five-hour endurance. It also has a two-way radio that enables the operator to give commands to a suspect or blare a siren. The robot can also be equipped with a nonlethal pepper spray canister on top.
It's main armament, the Glock, must be loaded and placed inside the robot before deployment, which means the robot is limited to 14 rounds before it would need to return to the operator to be reloaded. And the robot can function up to 300 meters from its operator, according to General Robotics. These are the reasons why the platform is offered for urban or close-quarter operations.
General Robotics also makes the Pitbull, an ultralight weapon kit for manned and unmanned platforms.
Gal noted that while other unmanned vehicles and bomb disposal robots exist, DOGO's unique characteristic is that it can shoot.

Stephanie Thornton: Why Am I Blogging?
Almost a year and a half ago, I started writing a novel. It's been a long (and sometimes painful) process, but I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel now that I'm close to the 400 page mark.
Writing a novel is a big change for me- I've been writing fiction for years, mostly at a wonderful (and supportive) collaborative fiction site called Panhistoria. Before that I wrote at Ancient Sites, but the site crashed (through no fault of mine, I promise!). When I decided to set my mind to writing a novel there was a huge learning curve to go from writing pithy, 500 word posts to plugging steadily away at a 500 page manuscript.
But this is a labor of love.
Since 8th grade I've been entirely enamored of Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty. In fact, I doubt that obsession would be too strong a word. Over the years, Hatshepsut has been lombasted as a usurper and various other nasty labels by various archaeologists and historians. But as the years tick by, the historical record is yielding more and more of her secrets, proving that she was a strong and capable leader who led Egypt through a golden age of peace and prosperity.
I think her tale deserves to be told.
Am I the most qualified person to do it? Certainly not. But everyone should do something they're passionate about and I am most certainly passionate about this woman, my hero. So I think Hatshepsut would approve, even if I don't get her story exactly right.
So why am I blogging about all this? After all, shouldn't I be dedicating myself to writing a novel instead of blogging? Yes and no. I discovered a while ago via Panhistoria that blogging about my writing is cathartic. (And often provides a handy outlet when I come down with a case of writer's block!) It helps me air thoughts and ideas and sometimes just vent. I also enjoy hearing ideas from people who've read my blog, but Panhistoria keeps posts private unless you're a member. That's a wonderful feature and one that I've been thankful for many times in the past. But if I'm looking for feedback and suggestions, it occurred to me that I should open my blog for more people to read.
I'm not sure exactly where this will take me, but it certainly can't hurt!

BMW M3 CS spied during testing
Scott Collie
The BMW M3 CS has been snapped during testing, providing a peek at the upcoming hot four-door.
Like the two-door M4 CS, it builds on the base four-door M3 body with a carbon fibre bonnet and splitter, along with a gurney spoiler on the bootlid. All the same touches feature on the M4 CS.
Power is expected to come from the 338kW turbocharged inline-six engine found in the M4 CS, making this the most powerful M3 ever.
As with the two-door, expect the M3 to be dual-clutch only, with the manual limited to Competition or Pure-spec cars.
Rolling on a set of sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, the car is expected to lap the Nurburgring in less than 7:40.
Given the current four-door lap record holder at the Nordschleife, the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV, set a 7:32 last year – although rumours suggest the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is chasing a new record at the moment – that would make the M3 CS a seriously quick family sedan.
The CS will sit above the Competition in the M3 range, but below the M4 GTS in terms of performance. Along with the exterior changes, you can expect to see lightweight touches – like straps instead of door handles – scattered throughout the cabin, and the requisite swathes of Alcantara on all the touch points.
When it launches, the M3 CS is expected to be built in limited numbers. Just 3000 examples of its M4 equivalent were produced, so we'd suggest the same number of four-door examples will be up for sale.
Stay tuned for all the latest, and check out the photos tab for more images.

The initiatory group is a rather unusual one in that it not only allows shamans, mages, and physical adepts to work together, but it also permits those who are not magically active to join the group. Mundanes can join the group for a cost of 1 karma instead of 3; it takes 6 mundanes committing to the group to get one additional die toward getting an Astral Contact during the search. Since they are not magically active in the first place, the mundanes cannot actually initiate; however, they can join the group on Astral Quests (as long as they are physically present with a magically active member of the group), and any oaths they make in committing to the group bind them as surely as if they were magical. A broken oath will be evident in the aura of the oathbreaker.
This costs an extra +2 target number on your astral contact— above that for having mages and shamans in the same group— and has almost no effect on game play other than for roleplaying purposes. It permits characters in a very paranoid line of work to trust each other, and it offers the opportunity for everyone to take part in Astral Quests when the current GM feels like running something in a different genre.
The harmony of the living world is of great importance. True innocents should be protected. Ending a life should never be taken lightly. Sentient life is of great importance, and all are deserving of equal consideration.
Anyone in the group must freely give ritual samples upon joining; any time they create a thesis, the group must be given a copy.
A member may call upon any other member(s) to place themselves in no more than equal jeapordy to the caller in coming to the caller's aid.
I affirm that my beliefs agree with the stated beliefs of this group.
I will not draw frivolously upon the bonds of fraternity.
I will be a good steward of the group's resources.
I will abide by the group's administrative rules.
A majority of the group must agree on accepting penance for deviations from the strictures, and to authorize expenditures from the group's funds.
A minimum of two-thirds of the group is requires for censure or impeachment of a member, or for amending the rules.
New members may only join with unanimous consent of the group.
The group has Hermetic libraries in Magical Theory, Sorcery, Conjuring, and Enchanting at rating 8, thanks to Talks-With-Cats. They maintain a High lifestyle for the group, which allows a number of them to live in Middle lifestyle housing. The High lifestyle is prepaid through 10/54.

Illegal purposes: employ shadowrunner fake ID's. Launder money.
Ostensible operations: security consulting of all sorts.
General methods: money comes in from Eclipse Holdings, AG in Switzerland to operate Pharos; anything accruing to runner SIN's gets taxes paid on it. Pharos does not perform direct security work, but consults on security operations. Their "team of experts" is available to perform "simulated penetrations" to test existing security, and can provide a summary afterward of what the company can do in order to make themselves more secure. (#&147;Simulated penetrations" are not required in order to provide such summaries; the team can do quite well simply touring a facility.) Thaumaturgical specialists are available for setting and maintaining wards when other companies need to subcontract, but Pharos does not offer continued warding services.

"Although a photograph of the setting sun may seem like an obvious choice for a coastal photograph, it isn't always chosen due to the rather unoriginal nature of such compositions. Digital photography has made the task even harder, as the large dynamic range created by including the sun is more tricky to capture successfully than in the days of film. However, I was really happy with all the elements within this particular image when there was just enough thin cloud to reduce the glare of the sun to a manageable level."


The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms in the home, and the countertop sets the tone for the space. Serving as the kitchen's focal point, the countertop is often a gathering place for homeowners and their guests.
When choosing a countertop material, don't go simply with what's popular. After all, what's best for some might not be for others. Instead, consider your lifestyle as well as the material's maintenance and cost.
A favorite of many, this natural stone appeals to those who appreciate that no two slabs are identical. It's available in a variety of colors and finishes, and is known for its durability.
People who want a more uniform look are drawn to this man-made material. It's incredibly durable and available in both neutral and bold colors.
Maintenance: Sealing isn't necessary because it's non-porous.
Homeowners with a flair for custom design love that this material is typically poured on site. The concrete can be dyed a variety of colors and inlaid with shells, glass or other materials.
Maintenance: Seal annually and wax four to six times per year.
Achieve the look of other materials at a fraction of the cost. Laminate usually consists of plywood or particleboard covered with a thin sheet of plastic resin.
Maintenance: No sealing is necessary, but use hot pads and avoid cutting food directly on the surface.
Bakers appreciate the cool, natural-stone surface for rolling and kneading dough. But keep in mind that marble is prone to staining and chipping.
Maintenance: Seal annually and avoid direct exposure to acidic foods, such as lemons.

First, download your free Carb Manual thanks to Mike's Carburetor Parts.
Clean the Carb with something that will make the surfaces very clean. Carb Cleaner or Engine De-greaser is good. I used my 3 gal. parts washer with Kerosene. Further cleaning will be necessary once we get it all apart. These pics are start to finish. Start by removing the bottom of the Carb. To do this, using a needle nose pliers, pull the clips from that small linkage (shown) and remove the linkage keeping careful track of all parts and where they go. With that linkage removed, you can now remove the bottom by removing the two large screws. Now, lets remove the top. The top contains the float assembly so be very careful when pulling the two apart. The 4 screws holding the top on are all that is needed, however, notice where the throttle and choke bracket is located on one of the corners. Carefully lay the top cover upside down on the table. There are several items protruding up from the top, but one of them will remain even when everything is apart. You need to protect that from damage while we clean and restore the inside of the carb. With the three main bodies separated, we can start taking the components out.
These Carbs are so old that it is very unlikely you will find one with the gold anodized plating intact. Out of the 5 in my inventory, none have any plating left on them. This means you will have a few alternatives.
Get them Re-Anodized at a Plating Company. This is pretty expensive although I have not looked into the exact cost.
Purchase an Anodizing Kit. This is cheaper but leaves you with some very nasty chemicals and possibly not so perfect results.
Purchase a can of Carb Paint from vendors like Eastwood. They say they are chemical resistant.
Purchase a can of High Temp Clear Coat and leave the color natural. This is just to keep it from rusting.
I chose to go with leaving it the natural color of cast steel. I am not making this one for a show truck, so leaving it natural gives me the options later if I choose to go another route.
We will begin by removing everything from the top cover. Start with the float assembly. The pin holding the float assembly should be pretty loose and easily pull out of its holes. If you can't do it by hand, try not to mar it up but pull it out with needle nose pliers. Just wiggle it carefully until it comes out. Keep track of the orientation of the float. Inspect for any visible damage. These floats are still available as of this writing so if you feel the float has sprung a leak, or just to be precautionary, order a new one. Remove the Jet Assembly, which is that brass carrier that has the slots on both sides of it for a wide screwdriver. Pull out the Jet, then the carrier. Remove the Power Piston Tower. The top brass screw needs to be removed first. The smallest check ball is located under this screw (not the aluminum one thats in your carb kit), so be careful not to lose anything.
Some models have a screen inside one of the holes in the tower. Just clean it really good and leave it in place. Next remove the Power Piston. This is usually stuck in my experience and hard to remove. Be VERY careful removing it however, since they are not available. Take your time and try every trick in the book to keep that Power Piston in tact and serviceable! This piston should move up and down very freely in order to do its job. The spring under the Power Piston is not available either, so be very careful removing both. The top of that power piston is important since the checkball sits on top of it and meters the gas intake.
A very good thing to have in the internal cleaning process of all this is something you may have, but haven't thought of for Carburetors. It's the large size cleaning kit for HVLP Paint Guns. If you don't have one, take this opportunity to get one. In it, you will find things that are very important to properly rebuild a carb. For example, the kit has a tube of different size orifice cleaners (basically 2 inch pieces of strong wire of different diameters) as well as bottle brushes and other important cleaning aids. Turns out the holes in these carbs are very small and this kit just works perfect! Once the power piston tower, the piston and spring, jet assembly, etc, is removed, lets move on to removing the butterfly assemblies. Now, I CAUTION YOU! If these assemblies are working VERY freely and there is no end play or wobbling, I leave it up to you as to if you want to go to this trouble! Now that you have been warned, the butterfly on the Air Horn, or top of the Carb is held in by two screws that WILL strip out and cause you great pain and misery if you do not grind the ends off just a little first. Try it but gently and see if they break loose. If they don't, use your Dremel and grind the excess threads off the end of the screws. You will want to use Loctite Red to reassemble them once the screws are ground. Once ground, they should come out pretty easily. The very same is true for the lower butterfly valve. Check first, but if you think you might strip them, grind the ends off. It will save the screws and cause you from having to drill out and re-tap a very intricate assembly.
Now that you have totally removed all parts out of the Air Horn (top), let's move on to the Body. Remove that little T-Clip which holds another check ball. It's called the main discharge tube. A lot of times the checkball gets stuck and won't come out. Get it out anyway! It is the other STEEL larger checkball in your Carb kit. Remove the large plunger mechanism, with tower bracket and spring and place them aside. You need to keep everything, even if you see the carb kit has a new one. Why? Personal experience! So now that the body is completely stripped, let's get to the Base Assembly.
The Base Assembly is really the only part that is different for example between a 250 engine and a 235. It has to do with the spacing between the two mounting flange bolts. Never toss a Rochester B carb that has the wrong mounting bolt pattern. Thats ALL the problem is. Get the correct one and the rest of the carb is good. Remove the Brass idler screw with spring, and the vac advance fitting. If you chose to go the route of removing the bottom butterfly assembly, you should have a totally stripped base unit. The only reason for removing these butterfly assemblies is slop. Slop either side to side, or in and out. Sometimes a brass drift punch will move enough material to stop the slop where the steel and brass converge. If you are doing this, I assume you fully understand the workings of a shaft and its supporting mechanisms and how to proceed. Ideally, NO slop on any plane. You also want to assess if it's tight because of rust or dirt buildup, or if it's really nice and tight! This is why I usually opt to remove both butterfly assemblies.
At this point, every little thing is taken totally apart. Now, let's talk a little about purchasing the carb kit. If you were one of the 30% of the lucky ones who actually have a metal tag affixed to the top of the carb on one of the bolts, you WIN! All you have to do is tell the NAPA, or parts person at your auto parts store the number, and he can look it up and give you the correct kit. For the rest of us, personally, I think 30% was a gift on my part, we have to do some investigation. Sometimes, on the bottom of the Body assembly, that same number is stamped on the underside. There goes about another 20% of you. The rest of us, get a carb kit from the year model of the truck it came out of with no number. This is an in-exact science, but thanks to someone thinking a tin foil TAG was a good idea, we are stuck with it. Chances are, ordering a Carb kit for a 1959 235 (in this case) will probably get you home. I pay about $30 for Carb Kits these days for this vintage. They come with pretty much everything I need, but if you need other parts, I would check out Mikes Carbs. He stocks a lot of hard to find parts and could very well save the day! Thanks Mike! The Carb Rebuild Kit I purchased for this one is NAPA part number 2-5194A (V15049). The Fuel Filter is NAPA part number 3050.
So it's all apart and now it's CLEANING TIME! Woohoo! Every little thing needs to be super cleaned. From the photos I am sure the first thing that comes to your mind is that Deve is crazy. That's the idea.. because going overboard just insures your carb will actually do its thing when the time comes. The carb in this case had lots of green corrosion. This is what happens when gold anodized parts lose their anodization and steel/anodized meets. It's a mess, but Chevy didn't anticipate you would be trying to mess up their business model by fixing trucks that are 60 years old! Clean all surfaces, no matter how hard they are to get to. It's your precious CARB! I used blasting, Dremel with fine wire brushes, bench grinder wire brush, sandpaper, some very fine files, whatever it takes for you to get to what you see in these pictures. Granted, I am a clean freak, but you read about all of that earlier, so nothing new. This is the SAME orientation taken AGAIN after doing the cleaning. One day of cleaning is a small price to pay for not just helping you guys out, but to get my carb to work perfectly.
The hardest part of this was remembering how the springs go back on. You don't want to install the butterfly's for example and have something backwards. Especially since you put Loctite Red on the threads. These are the only 4 screws I recommend Loctite Red on. Reason is because you ground then down to get them out, ruining their self locking nature. Remember, to remove Loctite Red you have to heat the screws up to 500 degrees! Please don't get this far and make a mistake!
Start with the Carb's base. Install the Idler screw (the one with the pointy tip and spring). Screw it all the way in, then back it out one and a half turns. This is a good place to start and recommended in the Carb kits instructions. Install the Vac Advance fitting as well. Get it nice and tight. If you removed the butterfly, now is the time to put it back on. Choose orientation carefully. If you aren't sure which way it goes, set it in, then look to see if everything is very tight with it just sitting there and are the screw locations in the correct spot. Turn it around and check again. You will find that it is settled in only one way. The screws faces are viewable from the underside of the carb if that helps. Once you are very sure you have the assembly right, use Red Loctite to hold them in place. Remember, before they had expanding nubs on the ends of the screws to keep them from getting sucked down into your precious engine. Now, choose the gasket that mates up to the float bowl. Use the correct one. You will see where the old one used to be so don't plug any holes with the wrong gasket. Once it's in place, go ahead and put the two screws back in that hold it on the float bowl. Tighten securely. I personally do not put anything on these gaskets. They work just fine without adding sealers or something that could contaminate your fuel system.
It's important to go back and look at some of the disassembly photos to make sure you are assembling correctly. Now let's look at the Float Bowl or body of the carb. We want to put the Accelerator Pump back where it belongs. Only there is one in the Kit, so let's use the new parts. You will need the spring that goes under the pump, put that in first. Then the heavy spring goes around the pump itself. Push all of that down in the hole and put the pump bracket in its slot in the body, and push them both down until you can get one of those U-shaped keepers in its slot to lock it all down. I found this much easier to do on the carb as opposed to wrestling with it on the table. Don't forget the lighter spring goes in first. Squeeze the U-shaped locker to keep it from coming off. Now that the assembly is put together, from the outside, re-attach that little linkage from the bottom of the Accelerator Pump assembly to the butterfly assembly on the base. It points IN with the dogleg facing OUT. Use the smallest clips in the new Kit to secure. You should now have an accelerator linkage that springs back by itself.
Setting the float bowl with base in front of you, install the first check ball. It goes into the larger hole near the accelerator pump where the T shaped keeper goes. Large (not the aluminum one) checkball, then the new very small spring (looks like the spring off an ink pen), then the T which goes down into the spring and then pushes flush with the hole. That's all there is to the float bowl.
Turn the Air Horn (top) upside down on the table. There is one tube sticking up that was not removed during the cleaning. In front of that is where we want to install the Needle Seat which is that part that has the two slots for the bigger screwdriver. The Carb Kit has a new one with a gasket. Be sure to install the new gasket, then turn the new seat into place. Tighten securely. We do not want any leaks there. Careful not to bend anything! Put the new Needle aside for now. Find the correct gasket in the new kit and fit it in now. Make sure your chosen gasket isn't plugging any holes or in the way of anything. Fitting the gasket in now is the correct way to do this.
To install the Power Piston, put the spring inside of it, and set it in and check for movement. Does it move freely? You want it to be very smooth. Also, the thin end of the piston needs to be straight. If it isn't, it may not push the checkball out of the way properly. Set the spring and then the Power Piston in place, then install the Tower. The power piston goes in the small hole at the end. Once you are certain the piston moves freely in the hole by turning it and watching the movement, set the smallest steel checkball in that hole. Then from the Carb Kit, get that little spring that has tapered ends on it, and place it in the brass cap. Once you are sure the power piston, the checkball and the spring/cap are lined up, tighten the cap securely. Lastly, for this part, install the Metering Jet. It's the brass piece that has a number on the top rim. Tighten securely.
Install the float assembly by first dropping the Needle Valve in its place, then properly orienting the Float Assembly and sliding the keeper bar across and centering it. We need to check a few measurements at this stage. Make sure you have it in correctly. The little tab in the very center protrudes downwards. Once the float is sitting flat with the top upside down so we can see where it is resting, there should be 1-9/32" from the very top of the float pontoon to the gasket. They supply a measuring square with the Carb Kit. These are important measurements, so be sure you understand what you are reading. To change that measurement, very delicately bend that center tab in or out so when it sits on the needle valve, you get the proper measurement. Next, turn the assembly upside down and let the floats dangle. Now measure from the gasket to the top of the float pontoon and you should have exactly 1-3/4". If not, there is another tab that is bent for that in the center of the assembly. Once you have both sides perfect, you are done. If there is a difference in the two floats, that would be a very delicate bend on just one side. In any case, you want to be sure the floats are not interfering with the gasket or anything else. I took less pictures of the final assembly because I was looking at the disassembly pictures to figure it out. You have everything you need to do this right in either the pictures with the text here, or in the out-takes below. Now that you have everything adjusted, carefully mate the Air Horn with the Float Bowl taking care not to bend or bind anything. Put two of the four screws in to secure the top adjacent to each other for now.
The upper butterfly assembly is next. This is something that takes some concentration because you don't want to get the spring in backwards, or forget the keeper on the end of the shaft, or get the wafer in backwards. To do this right, lay out all the parts as they will go in. First the spring, then the wafer. Hold them up to the hole as shown and then lock them down with the round keeper you removed earlier. You will need to 'wind' the spring one revolution so that everything springs together properly. Of course, wind in the direction the spring is wound in, and don't bend it. All of the pictures are in very high resolution so you can see clearly how to do it. When the shaft is proper, the butterfly shaft will have indentions where the screws go readily visible. Slide the butterfly in between the shaft slots and just put the screws back in, but wait on the Loctite until you are certain they are in right.
If you want to use this carb with an older style air filter assembly, you want to drill out the pins that are holding the nut bridge assembly and remove that. It just restricts air flow for your purposes, so no need to have it in there. You can always replace it later should you need this awesome carb for something that requires it. With the butterfly assembly in place and rotating very smooth, we need to install the lever assembly to the side of the carb. It also has a spring that needs to be installed correctly. This is the bridge between the lower butterfly and the upper one. Install according to the pictures and it will turn out fine.
I have to say, this is a pretty neat mechanical device when you think about it. Beautiful in its simplicity. Yet it is very critical all parts are assembled correctly. This section of the article would not be possible if it weren't for a few things that really helped me out. Most of the credit for my learning all of this goes to Mike at Mikes Carburetor Parts. Mike put a nice How-To Video on YouTube. Just Google Rochester B YouTube. It's 45 minutes long and he does a much better job explaining all of this. Then if that wasn't enough, he put the Rochester B service manual on his site to download for free! Also, remember that Carb Kit you purchased? Well, it has lots of great information in the instruction page. From parts breakdown to adjustment information, don't dismiss its value.
The finished Carb is really fitting for this project. In this process, I chose not to change out the Float Assembly. Even though it's only about $15 for a new one, I will try this one first, then if it's bad, I can change it easily since I didn't slather a bunch of gasket sealer all over it. You can get rebuild entire Rochester B Carbs for about $180 with the core, but what would be the fun in that? If you haven't had the opportunity, check out Mike's Carburetor Parts. Mike has parts for these Carbs that you may need. Things are changing out there folks... 60 year old parts are getting harder to find. We need to have the proper respect for vintage parts and understand they are not an unlimited commodity. If you have questions, email Deve anytime!

Police seize fake liquor, warn of health risks
Published:Wednesday | May 16, 2018 | 12:00 AMCarlene Davis/Gleaner Writer
Managing Director of J. Wray & Nephew, Jean-Phillipe Beyer, has said that his team would be conducting a full investigation into reports that 19 cases of counterfeit Campari valuing approximately $380,000 were seized during the weekend.
The Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime (C-TOC) Branch of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, along with the St Ann's Bay police, carried out a special operation in the St Ann's Bay area where two men were found selling fake Campari liquor to wholesalers in the parish. They have been charged under the Trademark Act.
Beyer said that this was the first report of this nature for the Campari brand.
"As far as we know, this is an isolated incident. However, we have mobilised our team to conduct a full investigation. This is a new development and, hopefully, the authorities have cauterised it," said Beyer.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Victor Barrett of C-TOC, in agreeing with Beyer, issued a similar warning.
"We are advising consumers and merchants to be careful when purchasing alcoholic beverages for resale and for personal consumption because these criminals don't care about your health," said Barrett.
"The issue of quality control is lacking, inferior or hazardous chemicals are used to make these fake goods. The sale of fake alcohol also undermines the brand and its profit base and may injure the going concern of the respective entity," he added.

According to sources, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the cathedral in Pescia, dates back to the 5th-6th century. The first mention of its existence is in fact in a document from the year 857 but a few centuries later the church was completely rebuilt following a firethat destroyed the city in 1281. Many traces have survived in the body of the stonework, including the bell tower, which is believed to be the oldest tower within the walls, and was partially modified in the 14th century.
The current structure of the cathedral dates back to 1684, when, based on the designs of Antionio Maria Ferri, it was entirely rebuilt after thecollapse of a domewhich destroyed a large part of the medieval building. The original Latin cross structure was replaced with a single-nave structurewith side chapels, topped with a dome. The façade, unfinished until the 19th century, was built in a Neoclassical style. It was completed in 1933 with the insertion of a marble portal.
Among the most noteworthy artworks, there is fine 18th-century painting in the Forti chapel: The Nativity of the Virginby Giuseppe Bottaniand, on the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, the Madonna del Baldacchinoby Pier Dandini, a copy of Raphael's original that was kept there until 1697.
To the side, there is the mausoleum of Monsignor Baldassare Turiniby Raffaello da Montelupo. The sculpted effigy of Turini is by Pierino da Vinci, nephew of Leonardo. The upper 16th-century altar is the work of Giuseppe Vaccà and was paid for by the famous lyrical singer Giovanni Francesco Grossi, known as Siface. On the left side of the church, the Cecchi Chapel, dedicated to St. Lawrence, is decorated with a canvas by Anton Domenico Gabbiani.
In the final chapel, where the baptistery once stood, there is a canvas on the altarby Romani Stefanelli (1985), an apprentice of Pietro Annigoni.


Starting Friday, armed soldiers from the Danish Armed Forces (Forsvaret) will replace police officers at both Denmark's southern border to Germany and at potential terror targets in Copenhagen.
The plan to put armed military personnel at the border and potential terror targets has been under discussion for well over a year. It is being implemented as a way to ease the workload of an overworked and undermanned police force.
Danish police have been saying for years now that officers are stretched so thin that they are unable to carry out basic police work.
It was not immediately announced how long military personnel would remain on the streets or at the border.


Jagan Institute of Management Studies, Rohini, Sector-5 organised an Annual Management Seminar –Surge2k16 for Undergraduate Management Students, on April 2nd 2016 at PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, New Delhi. With an efficient team of organisers, the event had a overwhelming response with over 300 students, 30 outsiders and a panel of knowledgeable speakers.
The event started with a welcome address delivered by Dr. J.K Goyal, Director, JIMS Rohini. At the end of welcome address, Dr. Goyal felicitated the honourable Chief Guest,Mr. G.R Raghavender (Joint Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Industry) .
The Technical Session-2, was addressed by Mr. Harshdeep Rapal (CEO, Freelance Company). He addressed the issues of Traditional Retail being affected largely by E-commerce operations. Mr. Naresh Gupta (CSO, Bang in the Middle) was more positive about the existence of Traditional Retail but had some reservations about "E-commerce" as it is still in transitory phase. He asserted that the future may be replaced by M-commerce or any other new technology. It is all a part of technology playing the major role.
At the end of both the sessions, Dr. Parminder Bajaj, Convener, exhibited gratitude to the guest speakers, faculty, students and the organising team by delivering the Vote of Thanks. All in all, it was an interactive session replete with learning which did not only felicitate knowledge but also enlightened everyone with the world of Traditional and E-Retail markets.

California school attack leaves two dead
07:52, November 15, 2019
Two students have been killed and three others injured by a 16-year-old who opened fire at a secondary school in California, officials say.
The shooting took place at the Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, minutes before the school day was due to begin.
The male suspect, who was also injured, is now in custody.
Many US schools have implemented active shooter drills in recent years, following a string of attacks.
The shooting was first reported at 07:38 local time (15:38 GMT), LA county sheriff Alex Villanueva told a press conference.
"Within seconds we received multiple [emergency] calls," he said, adding that the first police units had arrived at the scene within two minutes.
Police found six people suffering from gunshot wounds and transferred them to local hospitals - and the suspect was later identified as one of those injured, Mr Villanueva said.
Two victims - a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy - died of their injuries, he added.
The other victims were two girls aged 15 and 14, and a 14-year-old boy.
The suspect was "identified as a 16-year-old male whose birthday was today", he added.

That memo was a key driver of the state's decision to accept bitcoin for taxes, Ohio's state treasurer Josh Mandel told CNBC this week.
As of Monday, Ohio became the first state where business can pay their taxes in cryptocurrency. Mandel, 41, said the decision was twofold: It increases "options and ease" for taxpayers, and it opens the door to software engineers and tech start-ups.
States tend to compete for software engineers and new businesses, Mandel said. By being open to bitcoin, the idea is that blockchain companies may follow.
Forty-one-year-old Mandel, a former U.S. marine who served multiple tours in Iraq, led the cryptocurrency charge after learning about bitcoin a few years earlier. The bitcoin-tax process started in the middle of this year, he said.
For now, the payment option is only available to businesses. Companies can go to OhioCrypto.com, enter their tax information, then third-party payment processor BitPay verifies the transaction on blockchain. It converts the cryptocurrency to U.S. dollars, then transfer those dollars to the state of Ohio.
For now, Ohio is the only bitcoin-friendly state for taxes. But Mandel hopes the move will inspire others, including the IRS.
Bitcoin seemed like "a good place to start," Mandel said, but the state will eventually would look to accept individual taxes and a range of other cryptocurrencies.
One benefit is price. While there is no fee to pay taxes with a check, or ACH deposit, paying by credit card incurs a 2.5 percent fee. Paying in bitcoin is a 1 percent fee, collected by BitPay.
"Not only is this a new option, it's actually a less expensive option," Mandel said.
Bitcoin can be a divisive topic with its fair share of critics. CEOs like Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett have repeatedly warned investors of the hype and risks. News of hacks and fraud in initial coin offerings have also muddied the reputation of cryptocurrencies. Still, Mandel said he hasn't seen resistance from state policy-makers.
Bitcoin started a decade ago but gained status as a household name during its 1,300 percent price rise and march to nearly $20,000 last year. Because the cryptocurrency's value can vary drastically in a single day, it hasn't widely caught on as a means of payment.
Those prices have dropped precipitously this year. Since January, the cryptocurrency has fallen roughly 70 percent. Sunday it fell below $3,500 for the first time in 14 months, and lost 30 percent in over seven days. It recovered slightly this week and was trading near $4,300 Thursday, according to CoinDesk.
Despite the price pain, BitPay CEO Stephen Pair said the amount of bitcoin payment transactions are growing steadily. The company has gone from 5 to 6 transactions per day to processing $1 billion in payments per year, Pair said.
