A gorgeous night for racing once again took place at the high banked oval of Spoon River Speedway for Autism Awareness Night.
Next was the Bartonville Express Lube Dirtcar Hornets with Mike Foster once again running away with the feature win. Derrick DeFord would finish in second followed by Brett Pratt, Brett Ragon and April Holt. Heats went to Pratt and Ragon.
Nineteen Modifieds would do battle at Spoon Saturday night. In the third heat race rookie Zachery Brandt would take a terrifying tumble off of turns three and four rolling 4 or 5 times. The Spoon crew moved swiftly to get to Zachery and he emerge unscaved but the car wasn't that lucky and was completely destroyed. As the feature rolled out Brandon Roberts would set on the poll with Ray Bollinger to his outside. Roberts would jump to the lead running the bottom with Bollinger in second running the high side. Third place starter Kevin Morrow and sixth place starter Allen Weisser would be right on their heals with all four cars running all over the track. Roberts, Bollinger and Weisser would run inches apart until on lap fourteen Bollinger would explode his right rear tire ending his night of racing. On the restart Roberts would use the high side in one and two then driving to the bottom in three and four to try and hold off the hard charging Weisser who would keep showing Roberts his nose but Roberts was in a groove and would bring home his first feature win of 2018 at Spoon. Weisser would settle for second followed by Kevin Morrow, Zane Oedewaldt and Trent Ross all with their best finishes so far of the season. Heat wins went to Bollinger, Roberts and Oedewaldt.
The final feature of the night was the Perkins Seed House Dirtcar Pro Late Models. Brandow Eskew and Austin May would take off from the drop of the green flag putting on a exciting two car battle for the fans. Eskew would lead May running the bottom of the track. May would try every groove to pull past Eskew but Brandon wouldn't bobble and took the feature win. May would finish second followed by Andy Minett, Evan Fink and Trevor Gundaker. Heats went to May and Minett.
Next weekend Spoon will hold the Gary Cook Jr Memorial on Sunday, May 27. A large group of cars are expected with the Modifieds running for $2564 to win the 40 lap main event. The exciting Super Late Models will make their first visit to Spoon on Sunday night running for $2000 to win. Also running will be the E-Mods, USAC/IMRA SpeeD2 Midgets and the Hornets. More information can be found on Spoon's FaceBook page and website.

Andrew Robertson, CMIOSH, SHE manager, Hydram Engineering, part of Dynamic Aerospace and Defence
Open-access content Thursday 9th August 2018
I had three months recovering at home. After I went back to work, one day a guy turned up in the morning with his bike and I thought it would be good to try cycling in. So I started cycling to work, and I also got back into my running.
Then another lad at work said: "Do you fancy trying a triathlon? Can you swim?" At the time I couldn't do front crawl, but I thought, I can do the run and the bike, so I'll learn the swimming -- and I joined a swimming club to improve.
The first time I did open-water swimming was quite funny. I'd only been in the sea once to try out the wet suit, so when I did an event I was shocked just how far 750 m is! I was second last in the swim, but I caught up a bit in the bike and the run. I realised it's all about technique, so I practised open-water swimming and learned to breathe bilaterally -- on both sides of my body -- and it made a massive difference. In the same race a year later I was five minutes quicker in the swim, but that year the race had been designated a European Championship qualifier so I came out of the swim last in my age group, though it didn't matter to me. Now when I compete I'm usually in the top half. It's all about training and technique.
Once I was out cycling when the hospital called to say that tests had revealed a clot in my jugular vein
I see various specialists regularly to manage the disease -- ear, nose and throat, eyes, respiratory and rheumatology experts -- as well as my GP. WG is a complex disease with no cure. In 2014 I had a flare-up and I had to withdraw from several triathlons while I underwent more chemo. Once I was out cycling when the hospital called to say that tests had revealed a clot in my jugular vein. I was called back in straightaway and arrived in cycling shorts -- only to be admitted for 12 days while I received anti-coagulants.
In 2016, I had another flare-up the day after a duathlon. Because of my fitness the doctors said I could try a new, aggressive drug that would be delivered over two weeks, rather than the chemo, which entails six months out of action. Though the drug left me tired, I've been okay since.
This year I signed up to do eight events, including triathlons and duathlons. Duathlons are run-bike-run events and tend to be in winter. I enjoy them all, but you do work hard in a duathlon; in a triathlon, you get to lie down during the swim! I did the Washington duathlon in Tyne and Wear earlier this year and came third in my age group.
I've won various physical achievement awards. People tend to get hooked on reducing their times, but I want to enjoy the sport too: it's a massive mental boost to take part, and it proves that a disease like mine doesn't have to stop you doing things. The medics do sometimes get nervous, especially about open-water swimming because of the risk of things like Weil's disease, so I'm very careful. I risk assess, and there are some events I won't do because of the location of the swimming -- for example, in a lake with a sewage pipe running beneath. But there are some fantastic lakes in the North East, with crystal-clear water. My favourite event is in North Yorkshire at Ripon racecourse, which has a lake in the middle. Last year it was a world championship qualifying event: 2,000 people turned out and it was really well organised.
I never swim on my own: I buddy up, and we usually have someone spotting on the beach. At some events, they tie a buoy to you and you wear a timing chip so the organisers can track your progress. You fill in a medical form before events and I always record that I have WG. If the organisers Googled it, they'd probably have a heart attack!
I'm just a normal person and I'd recommend triathlons to anyone, no matter what age or size. In other sports people seem to want to kill you -- I used to play Sunday league football and that's how it felt! But in triathlons, they want to help you; just look at the Brownlee brothers in Mexico in 2016 when Alistair sacrificed first place by helping an exhausted Jonny over the line. I've seen teammates swap bikes when someone with a chance of qualifying for a championship has had a puncture. That's just how this sport is.

When we think about the relationship between capitalism and the environment, it's all too easy to see them as separate spheres bouncing into one another – capitalism devouring nature, like when a forest is razed for development, or nature threatening capitalist progress, like when a natural disaster later wipes out that development. Raj Patel and Jason Moore see the relationship as much more complicated, while also arguing that the environmental crises we face today are the inherent products of the way that capitalism operates. They trace the relationship between capital and the environment through seven cheap things: nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives.

Dog blankets aren't just for sled dogs anymore, meet Rikki
Chihuahua fights for life after being mauled in garden
Artist revives tradition with beaded bling for her 7-year-old Chihuahua
Velma Olsen, who is Northern Tutchone and a member of the First Nation of Na Cho Nyak Dun, made a beaded dog blanket for her seven-year-old Chihuahua named Rikki. (Submitted by Velma Olsen)
A Chihuahua may not be the first choice as a sled dog but seven-year-old Rikki looks ever proud sporting a new beaded dog blanket.
It was handmade by his owner Velma Olsen, who is Northern Tutchone and a member of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun in Yukon.
"It's just so much fun creating clothes for this little guy," she said.
"He was very proud to put it on. He actually pranced around, and was very happy to have it on."
Olsen spent a month working on Rikki's blanket and made it specifically to enter him in a pet parade contest organized by the Yukon Rendezvous festival happening this month in Whitehorse.
"I look for any little way to inject a little bit of culture into things," she said.

Dog blankets are embellished fabric that drapes over a sled dog's back. As a longstanding tradition among First Nations across the Yukon and Northwest Territories, the blankets were designed with embroidery, ribbons, tufting, bells and now beadwork.
"They were a symbol of respect for the dog," said Nyla Klugie-Migwans, a member of the Selkirk First Nation and the Tlicho Nation.
"A long time ago, our dogs that we had were working dogs. Mushers or families would use dogs to get from one community to the next and they would travel long distances to visit family or pick up supplies."
Reviving the tradition of dog blankets
Both Olsen and Klugie-Migwans were among 10 Whitehorse-based artists who contributed to the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre sewing group's traditional First Nations dog blanket project in 2017.

"Our generation wants to learn as much as we can about what those items' connection to the land, animals, and people were," said Klugie-Migwans.
"Things have changed over the years and the next generation is trying to revive all those things back that you might see in museums and all the beautiful beadwork that were created in the past."
The project was co-ordinated by Florence Moses, who put out a call out across the territory to make the dog blankets together as a way to revive First Nations representation at the annual 1,600-kilometre Yukon Quest sled dog race.
"As Indigenous women, when we sew for our families, we always want to make everything as pretty as we can," said Moses.
Dogs were no exception. Moses described the blankets as everyday items and a part of life in the North. She recalls stories about the blankets passed down from generation to generation.

"I remember my cousin telling me stories of my grandmother getting dogs ready to go to town because when you live out in the bush and you go to town, it's a big deal," said Moses.
"As soon as they saw the dog blankets coming out for them, they knew they were coming to town and the dogs would get excited."
Dog blankets are a First Nations tradition designed to be "pleasing to the eye." (Philippe Morin/CBC)
The blankets from the project are now a part of the Yukon Permanent Art Collection, but some of the artists involved continued making more.
Moses said she's happy to see the resurgence of the blankets.
"I think it's very cool and very forward. If we can bring more people loving and supporting Indigenous arts and Indigenous women as artists because of what they're doing with their modern-day beading, tufting or quillwork; if a person has the creativity to make a traditional item more contemporary so it's appealing to the people of today, that's perfect,"

"The new hospital is bright and clean"
I had 'follow up' an appointment at 2.30 in clinic H and was seen at 4.45. I thought that was pretty bad, but based on other comments on this blog it doesn't seem unusual. I was the last person to be seen in a clinic that is supposed to close at 4pm - which indicates that there is something routinely wrong with appointment allocation. If there is the expectation that the last patient has an appointment time of 2.30pm to be seen by 4pm, then there is an assumption that there will be a significant waiting time as a matter of routine. In addition, as other patients have reported, I was ignored in the waiting room and given no information about the likely time I was going to be seen. Luckily I had made arrangments for childcare, if I had not I would have to have left without being seen - thus requiring another appoinment and wasting NHS time and resources and my own.
In terms of the care I received, having been discharged after three appoinments, I now know that I have an allergy to something - exactly what I was told by the nurse on my first emergency visit. Everything else was a total waste of time. Each time I visited I had to go thought the same examination, previous notes taken were not consulted. In my final appointment I was expecting to receive test results, the doctor told me he couldn't access them - when i insisted he disappered somewhere else for 10 minutes to get them (so no wonder there are long witing times). So 'negative for infection, you have an allergy, discharged'! Brilliant! No inclination to give advice about what to do next. Overall apart from the emergency nurse, a very negative experience. I hope I never have to attend the eye hospital again.


In her new law journal article, "Activism Unshackled & Justice Unchained," law professor Angela A. Allen-Bell concludes that the US government's multi-faceted response to the BPP, primarily within the framework of the FBI's infamous COINTELPRO, was indeed the very definition of terrorism. Bell writes that "the magnitude of the unwarranted harm done to the BPP has not yet been explored in an appropriate fashion. Much like a fugitive, it has eluded justice." As a result, "the FBI's full-scale assault on the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s remains an open wound for the nation itself. This is more than a national tragedy; this is a human wrong."
Went to Ferguson last week, here is what I saw.
What began as a protest movement after 10 days of sustained defiance, has taken a couple shaky steps towards revolt. The situation here is still fluid and ripe with potential. Locally, people are surprised that similar unrest hasn't sparked off in other cities. If it were to spread, the scope here would likely widen. It's difficult to get a sense of how people outside the metro area interpret what's happening here. What follows are some observations from St Louis residents and participants in the struggle who might give a clearer picture of this strange new reality.
Argentina is likely to default barring a last-minute breakthrough in negotiations with hold-outs or a court order. Argentina's grace period to pay bonds restructured after its 2001 default expires July 30th. Predatory funds and hold-outs may use court ruling to target Grenada and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The MeToo campaign highlighted and brought to light several cases of sexual assault by Hollywood bigwigs such as Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.
The MeToo campaign highlighted and brought to light several cases of sexual assault by Hollywood bigwigs such as Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. It also brought out cases from some lesser known faces. While Bollywood saw no accusations so far, that may be about to change. Recently Vivek Agnihotri took to Twitter to allege that his nephew who had come to India from the US to try his luck in Bollywood was sexually assaulted by a middleman of a top actor and director.
On of my nephews came from US to try his luck in Bollywood. Introduced him to the middleman of India's top star & Producer/director. He was promptly invited where he was propositioned, molested & sexually exploited by the most powerful. Left India forever. Many stories like this.
Last week, singer Monali Thakur was slammed on Twitter for defending another singer Papon, who was caught on tape, kissing a minor girl during a Facebook live session for a reality show. Monali tweeted that she received numerous calls for her tweet.
A number of people lashed out at Monali over her statement, saying that it was comments like hers which are the primary reason why the MeToo movement did not take off in Bollywood.
A Supreme Court lawyer had filed a complaint with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights after Papon uploaded a video on his Facebook page where he was seen kissing a minor contestant on the show. The Assam police registered an FIR against the singer and the Assam State Commission for Protection of Child Rights also filed a case against him with the Guwahati police commissioner.

MMS Cures Malaria in Uganda
Malaria is one of the worst diseases in the world and there are over 200 million cases each year. It is the leading cause of death for African children under 5. Big names like Bill Gates and George Soros donate millions of dollars to fight malaria.
When Jim Humble accidentally discovered years ago that the water purification drops he brought along on his gold prospecting trip to Guyana cured his helpers of malaria, he knew how important that was and he has dedicated himself since then to getting that knowledge out to Africa and the rest of the world. At one point, he had set himself the goal of making one country in Africa malaria free. Although that goal has not been accomplished, there is reason to believe that it could happen, and very quickly.
Who is Klaas Proesmans?
Belgian Klaas Proesmans, CEO of the Water Reference Center (WRC), which has an affiliation with the Red Cross, attended an MMS training seminar in Mexico in 2012. He was interested enough to then organize a field clinic in Uganda with the Red Cross. The results were astonishing: all 154 people who were malaria positive were found free of the malaria parasite within 48 hours after treatment with MMS. He made a video showing the entire process and, in the video, expressed his excitement with the remarkable results. You can watch his video here, embedded within this video to which Jim Humble added an introduction and Jim's associate Leo Koehof added an epilogue.
We can only assume that Proesmans was sincere in seeking a cure for malaria. His finding indicates that merely disinfecting the internal waters of the human body is sufficient to eliminate the malaria parasite. MMS is not a drug and was not used as such according to the words of Proesmans: "The aim of the mission is to look at the side effects that a certain way of purifying water has on the blood of certain patients." Every reference he makes to the test refers to drinking the water containing the water purifier, MMS. He states, "In total we identified 154 malaria positive patients, together with the local health {authorities} or the doctors. All of them were treated. All of them were, between 24 hours and 48 hours, malaria negative… without any side effects!" (Transcript of Proesmans' words)
So why then did Proesmans try to deny his association with the test, the results, and even the video in which he himself appears as the organizer? Why did the International Federation of the Red Cross disassociate themselves from the amazing results? Until the Proesman video was accidentally uncovered on YouTube, the Red Cross went so far as to declare that the test never happened!
How did this man transform from seeking the truth to actively participating in a cover up? What is the financial relationship between his company and the Red Cross? Why would the Red Cross not want to promote an inexpensive non toxic water purification product that could potentially eradicate the worst disease in the world?
No doubt this experience has been a painful wake up call for Proesmans. No doubt financial interests lie behind his repudiation of this remarkable experiment, and he knows he has compromised his integrity. My question to him:
Will the real Klaas Proesmans please stand up?


This tutorial will go through the steps to enable two factor authentication, OTP and user password, for logins to your ThinLinc system. ThinLinc uses the underlying Linux authentication mechanism PAM to authenticate a user. This means that this tutorial is general and also works with a Linux system without ThinLinc installed.
ThinLinc requires that an OTP can be used twice due to how ThinLinc client first connects and authenticates to the master server and then reconnects and authenticates to the agent server.
For this tutorial we use Fedora 22 and Google Authenticator OTP PAM module.
2. Configure sshd to allow challenge response authentication. Edit the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure that ChallengeResponseAuthentication is set to yes. Do not forget to restart sshd service if you change the configuration.
3. You also need to configure PAM to use the new google-authentictor module. Edit the file /etc/pam.d/thinlinc and add the following line auth required pam_google_authenticator.so to the auth step. Be aware that order is important and google authenticator step should be placed after the password step. The option nullok allows login for a user which hasn't enabled OPT yet.
4. Install Google Authenticator on your android device (there are other alternative OTP clients for iOS).
5. To enable OTP for a user, that user needs to run the program google-authenticator on the server.
6. During this process a QR code is shown in the console. Use Google Authenticator application to scan this to import the master key for the user.

A Tech Startup Entrepreneur & Mentor Thinking Out Loud
LeWeb: The Money Roundtable
December 10, 2009 ~ Sebastien Provencher
Interesting VC/Angel roundtable this morning at LeWeb moderated by Dave McClure (who defined himself as Startup Investor & TroubleMaker!). Here's what participants had to say about the VC/angel market in 2009 and what we can look for in the future.
Christopher Sacca, Founder, Lowercase Capital LLC
His firm does early stage investment ($50K to 250K) and very large investment ($500M+)
It is now cheap to start a company. Ten years ago, it would cost you $1M before your first line of code. Rent and Engineers are now the two biggest expense lines.
Sacca revealed that they did 3 deals yesterday.
The changes he saw recently: valuations are up again driven by larger funds probably because it was a year of low activity. Funds need to get the money out and VCs definitely have money.
Dan'l Lewin, Corporate Vice President, Strategic and Emerging Business Development, Microsoft Corporation
Microsoft buys 10-20 small companies per year, about half of those are VC-backed.
Those acquisitions are usually companies that are 2 to 5 year-old.
2009 was a good year relative for young companies.
Microsoft buys many companies abroad, not just in the US.
When asked if he thinks acquirers are competing with VCs, Lewin said he doesn't think so given the scale of their business. They look at businesses that are close to the core, extending the business.
Dave McClure, Chris Sacca, Dan'l Lewin
David Hornik, Jeremy Wenokur, Eric Archambeau
David Hornik, August Capital
2009 was a great year for August Capital as they closed a new $650M fund.
Hornik did 4 deals in the last 12 months (6 in the last 15 months).
Size of those deals: between $1M to $35M. Usually, they are Series A rounds (approximately $4M)
What's a successful investment for Hornik: when he can say "that was great!".
In 2010, a lot of people are hoping is the year that VC are able to raise money. In the case of Gowalla, competition for the deal between funds drove the price up.
Hornik mentioned that it's cheap to start companies these days but, as it starts scaling, it's not as cheap. It's cheaper the ten years ago but it's not cheap. The things that succeed require capital.
Jeremy Wenokur, Angel investor & Advisor to Apax Partner
Wenokur says he took 9 months off and just restarted investing.
The size of his deals: $25-50k investments.
He's seen the shift of money to smaller funds and that's why you see a lot of deals being chased.
For him, a good exit is $20M-30M exit and it happens one out of five times.
Eric Archambeau, General Partner, Wellington Partners
They search Europe for investments
They have 800M euros in management
They do 50K to 25M euros investments
in Web investment, they look for evidence of traction
In reference to smaller exits in 2009, Archambeau says that maybe VCs were less patient this year and maybe exited too early.

A Gliese 667 (142 G. Scorpii) hármas csillagrendszer a Skorpió csillagképben, nagyjából 6.8 parszekre (22 fényévre) a Földtől. Mindhárom csillag tömege kisebb, mint a Napé. A három csillag közelében található még egy, de ez gravitációját tekintve nincs kötve a rendszerhez.

A rendszer két legfényesebb csillaga, a GJ 667 A és a GJ 667 B egymás körül keringenek, átlagosan 13 csillagászati egységnyi távolságra. Legközelebb 5 csillagászati egységre vannak egymástól, míg a legnagyobb távolság közöttük 20 CsE. A harmadik csillag az első pár körül kering, maximum 230 CsE-re. Ezen csillag rendszerében van két megerősített és öt potenciális szuperföld. A Cc, a Cf és a Ce bolygók a  lakható övezeten belül találhatóak, míg a Cb lehet, hogy egy gáztörpe.

Are you considering embarking on the adventurous and nomadic lifestyle of a full-time RVer? If so, you might be curious just how economical it is to purchase an RV, drive it, and live on the road. The short answer to this question is that you can make it as expensive or inexpensive as you choose. It all depends on your decisions regarding type of recreational vehicle, how you choose to finance it, and the amount of money you budget for various expenses. The range of expenditures can be pretty huge, so you'll have to do the research and decide for yourself if you want to live large or small while traveling the countryside in your RV.
Do you have an income stream that will sustain you on the road or will you need to find work along the way?
Do you want to travel indefinitely or do you just want to take a year or other specified amount of time off for the trip?
Will you be comfortable in a modest trailer or are you desiring a luxurious top-of-the-line motorhome?
Do you plan to stay in 5-star RV sites or is boondocking and backpacking more your style?
Are there definite places you want to travel to or are you planning to roam free?
The answers to each of these questions will help you plan your trip and get an idea of what your travel mates' needs and expectations are. Once you have this conversation, you can judge whether you're ready to roll or need more prep and contemplation time.
Motorhomes are the more expensive option of the two. Not only are they more expensive to buy, but they are the priciest to operate, maintain, and they depreciate more rapidly than travel trailers.
Trailers towed by your truck or SUV will be more economical to purchase and travel with. Plus, you can leave your trailer at your campsite and drive your vehicle around by itself.
Consider maintenance costs. Pop-up tent trailers will need less maintenance than motorhomes stocked with luxuries.
Before signing on the dotted line for an RV, call your insurance agent to find out the cost of insuring the vehicle.
Although you won't know exactly what your traveling lifestyle will be like until you hit the road, there is a simple way to estimate costs. It is a basic math formula: your new RV lifestyle costs will be equal to your current household budget, minus the expenses of living in your house, plus the costs of living in your recreational vehicle. Seems easy enough, right? Do the math and see if you can swing it financially.
Work for your current employer remotely. Many of today's jobs can be handled via your computer and an internet hookup from any location.
Work-camping is another option. Lots of full-time RVers take temporary positions at campgrounds, theme parks or national parks in hospitality, maintenance or retail positions.
Instead of buying completely new furniture and decorations for your RV, bring stuff from home instead. This will save you money and can serve as a source of comfort when you're away from home for so long. There are plenty of ways to make your RV more cozy without spending a lot of money.
Did you realize you could camp for free on land that has been designated for that purpose? This practice is call boondocking and you can find out where sites are in every state. Free overnights save you nightly campground fees that really add up over time.
You can save a ton of cash if you prepare the majority of your meals yourself. Even inexpensive fast-food places are much more costly than homemade entrees dined upon in parks and on picnic tables. Plus, self-prepared food is often fresher and more nutritious.
Plan for some fixed expenses along the road. In the accompanying chart, you will find some sample costs that you should expect. Keep in mind what you spend will vary, depending on your personal tastes and lifestyle.
It is a good idea to put in some research time while planning for these expenses. Check to see if your vehicle tends to be more expensive to fix, or if dining out happens to be more expensive in one of the cities you plan to stop in. Fuel prices tend to fluctuate heavily between states, so some early research can save you some stress later on.
In summary, expenses will vary depending on you, the RVer, but the basic premise is that you can make it just as affordable as staying home. Remember the math formula of subtracting out your "home" expenses and adding in your "RV" expenses to see if this option adds up for you.
Once you've put a pencil to the costs and are ready to begin your excursion, the final step is to plan your route. Are you one of those travelers who wants to see everything you can in a short span of time, or do you plan to move slowly and really savor the experience? The destination and time frame is your decision to make. Once you know you can afford it, you can settle into the rhythm of the road at your own speed.
OK you write about Boonedocking but where do we go to locate such places in each state?

The Norman Conquest didn't have a profound result on dry stone walling; if anything it hindered the development in the North of England - Dry Stone Walling Greater Manchester.

By the 17th century, land a little higher the hills and hills ended up being confined by the wall surfaces, and fields ended up being larger. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the higher land ending up being confined throughout the period of the Room Movement gone by Acts of Parliament; these allowed landowners to confine substantial systems of land, and the wall surfaces compete lots of miles and are much more regular and ordered in appearance.
Several 'commoners' were compelled into poverty, while the brand-new land owners came to be really well-off. Over 7 million acres, or 21% of England, was confined throughout this moment, but the bulk was lugged out in between the 1801 Room Combination Act and the 1845 General Room Act. Whilst the social impacts for the inadequate were wretched, the result on wall surfaces and also walling was extensive, as thousands and also thousands of completely dry rock walling was produced in upland and also highland locations (as well as lowland Cotswolds).

A lot of the preserving wall surfaces as well as culverts were made from dry stone building. A lot more miles of roadway were increased in the very early 19th Century.

Leveraging Engineering Excellence to Conserve Hong Kong Heritage
融入卓越機電工程 保育活化建築瑰寶
Nestled within this modern skyscraper city are historic buildings that have remained as the city transformed from a fishing village to an international financial centre. Central Market, which first opened for business in 1842 as a bazaar catering to locals, is an ideal piece of Hong Kong heritage.
Linking the International Finance Centre (IFC) to the iconic Central–Mid-Levels escalator, one of the modernisation projects undertaken by our Lifts and Escalators arm Anlev, Central Market is a Grade 3 historic building which is now revitalised and open for public enjoyment with its phase one of restoration and revitalisation work completed.
ATAL is honoured to have participated in the revitalisation project, contributing to the design, supply and installation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) system and a smart building platform for the market. Our engineering excellence helps transform the three-storey building into a vibrant place where locals meet, eat, and socialise.
ATAL's Thoughtful Design Preserves Historical Elements
The revitalisation project of the Bauhaus-style Central Market aims at preserving historical elements with minimal changes made to the building. It relies on our project team's thoughtful planning and design of the electrical and mechanical (E&M) system having it bypass historic walls to reduce alterations to the building.
"As a pioneer in 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM), our project team made good use of BIM technology in blending the new E&M system with the basic E&M system which had been installed, satisfying the needs of tenants and restaurants to allow convenient operations, while living up to the site's heritage conservation values," said Ir Victor Law, Managing Director of ATAL Engineering Group.
Swift Installation of E&M System to Echo Plug-to-Operate Concept
Not only completing the design and installation of the whole MEP system for Central Market in merely four months, ATAL's project team also assisted restaurants to apply for licences from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and install ventilation system to meet the government's ventilation requirement for dine-in catering premises as precautionary measures under the pandemic.
Echoing the market's adoption of a plug-to-operate concept offering tenants basic fixtures and fitting-outs, our contribution to the design and installation of MEP system allows smoother set-up and operations of local brands and start-ups at Central Market, which in turn fosters social cohesion and sustains cultural heritage.
Blending Engineering Excellence to Create a "Playground for All"
Adding vibrancy to the new landmark for arts and culture, our project team installed a mega audio and visual system under the open atrium bridge to support street performances, cultural events and community activities. We also put up red pendent lamps seen in traditional markets as decorative elements, adding a touch of nostalgia to the historic building.
Smart Building Platform Enhances Visitors' Experience
Adhering to the revitalised Central Market's aim to fuel innovation for future generations, our Information, Communications and Building Technologies (ICBT) team contributed to the implementation of a smart building platform at the market.
We have provided the networking and Wi-Fi system for point-of-sales (POS) system, security equipment and extra-low voltage system at the site to help tenants develop businesses more effectively. Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors have also been installed throughout the building to allow detection of water leakage, monitoring of indoor environmental quality and rubbish bin usage to enhance visitors' experience.
ATAL attended in detail for every aspect of the Central Market revitalisation project. We hope that with these innovative elements, the revived landmark will breathe new life into the community.

A favorite accompaniment to a hearty bowl of chili, these aren't the corn muffins you thought you knew.
The trick with corn muffins is the cornmeal to flour ratio, so you have just enough of the former to hearty-up the texture and enough flour and leavening to avoid doorstop density. Flour lends tender structure. Once you master a basic formula, though, you can have fun playing around with flavor variations, as we did here. The base lends itself to sweet or savory directions. Parmesan-chive or bacon-cheddar muffins can be a great pairing with soup or chili, while lightly sweetened raspberry muffins make a great breakfast.
First up, Parmesan Corn Muffins.
Real imported Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is worth the splurge since it tastes best.
These are a spin on our Parmesan Corn Muffins recipe. A savory bacon and onion combo make these the perfect chili-pairing candidate.
These slighty-sweet muffins are ideal for breakfast. Have on hand for busy mornings on-the-go.
This 3-ingredient reader recipe has become a favorite among reviewers for its ease and versatility. Says recipe creater Tara Bennett, "The moist, sweet muffins go with almost anything and are a great way to use a ripe banana."
Cheddar, jalapeño, and bacon make these muffins a great partner for chili or as a savory grab-and-go breakfast.


Donna Kanich took her first pottery class in the Fall of 1998 at the NCState Crafts Center and pottery has been a significant part of her life ever since that very first class. Kanich Pottery now consists of two bodies of work: Horse Hair and Kamado pottery, and functional pottery. Kamado and Horse Hair is decorative pottery based on a love of plants. Both are made of porcelain, thrown on a wheel and burnished with a rock until smooth. Horse Hair pots are then individually fired and decorated. Kamado pots are covered with ferric chloride and wrapped up in aluminum foil with plants and leaves, then fired.
The other body of work for Kanich Pottery is functional work - mugs, bowls, plates, platters and vases. The newest work is called Kolors and is highly textured and colorful work for the Spring and Summer. After mixing up and testing over 200 glazes this winter, a colorful palate was selected for its joyful, happy feel. However, her quest for the Kanich Pottery perfect glaze will continue. Stay tuned for Kanich Pottery's new colors and texture.

Russia Legalizes Shady Imports of AMD, Intel and Apple Goods to Dodge Sanctions
By Francisco Pires
Goods can be imported without the copyright holders' consent.
The Russian high-tech market is poised for a colorshift towards the gray side. The country's latest steps to dodge economic and technology sanctions consist of legalizing the import of goods regardless of whether or not they have permission from the copyright holders. Russians will thus still be able to access hardware from the likes of AMD, Intel, Apple, Asus, Huawei, and others, despite these companies' decision to no longer provide their products in the heavily-sanctioned country.
It's reported that the Russian government itself worked on the list of companies and products now allowed for sale in the parallel market via its Ministry of Industry and Trade. In a bid to stem the bleeding of cutting-edge tech for both its governmental infrastructure and its citizens, the country has added car brands (such as Bentley, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Skoda, Tesla, Toyota, etc.) and their replacement parts, such as branded tires (Michelin, Goodyear, etc) to its listing.
Alongside cars, smartphones, and computers (from the likes of Apple, Asus, Samsung, Nokia, Sony, Lenovo, etc) also made the cut, alongside TVs, their accessories, and games consoles. The listing even extends towards tech-assisted activities such as mining, electricity, rail and shipping, agriculture, timber processing and other areas economic activity.
So-called "gray markets" usually operate on thin legal grounds. Suppliers in a gray market usually take advantage of price differences and arbitrage opportunities by acquiring goods in official (and sometimes even unofficial channels) wherever products' MSRP is set at comparatively lower values, finally importing them towards other markets.
This marks a departure from Russia's previous stance, which called for the destruction of goods imported into its country via unofficial channels - in line with general copyright law. But as times and sanctions change, so does Russia's line between legal and illegal.
But Russia's attempt at skirting sanctions isn't a foolproof way of opening up its market to imports; affected companies will surely be loathe to fulfill any warranty claims for products not legally sold within the country's borders. And "gray" market importers may find themselves on the bad side of Russian law enforcement, should they fail to comply with the country's demands for pre-installing Russian-developed software in sold electronics. Russia imposed a moratorium on those fines — but it could just as quickly reverse it, catching importers on the curve.
The policy change is just another one in the bucket of moves Russia has already done to combat tightening sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine. Part of Russia's strategy has already been called by the U.S., which recently cracked down on Russia-based cryptocurrency miners. All bets are off regarding where the future of sanctions, and their counters, will bring estranged Russia.

Tuck Launches Online Networking Hub
The Tuck Networking Hub will facilitate connections between alumni and students
The platform will allow alumni to have as big or small a commitment to mentoring as they want, and they can easily opt-in or opt-out whenever they choose.
by Tuck Communications
On July 29, Tuck is rolling out a brand-new way for alumni and students to communicate for networking and mentoring.
Called the Tuck Networking Hub, it's an online platform created by PeopleGrove software that allows alumni to opt-in to offer career mentorship to students and fellow alumni, according to their industry and experience.
The Tuck Networking Hub builds on the connectivity of the myTUCK alumni site, which provides a directory of all alumni and their career profiles. Using that site, students and alumni can reach out to one another, but the first attempt is essentially a cold-call. "By having the Tuck Networking Hub, students will now have access to a population of alumni who have said, Yes, I want to help you with your career," says Renee Hirschberg, the director of alumni engagement and advancement operations. "While Tuck alumni are always willing to help each other, this method really provides a warm outreach."
A collaboration between Tuck Advancement and the Career Services Office, the Tuck Networking Hub will be another opportunity for alumni to engage with Tuck, and for students and fellow alumni to benefit from the strong Tuck network.
To access the site, users will first enter their NetID and password. After that, they can elect to log in through LinkedIn or Facebook. When users register, they complete a questionnaire about their educational background, industry experience, location, and areas of interest. The site then matches users based on commonalities in the data. Users can also search for others and filter results by a host of criteria, to zero-in on the people most likely to be helpful. The system, which is mobile-enabled, keeps track of all correspondence initiated through the site, and provides email notifications and reminders to respond.
The hub will also be a place for Tuck centers to coordinate alumni and students interested in center content. To begin, the Center for Business, Government and Society, and the Center for Entrepreneurship, will pilot groups within the hub. Other centers and groups will join the hub later this year.
For the first two weeks of the hub's launch, all alumni will be invited to join the system. After that, first-year students will be allowed to join during orientation. Second years will join during their re-orientation, in September.
Hirschberg is excited about the flexibility and openness of the platform. It will allow alumni to have as big or small a commitment to mentoring as they want, and they can easily opt-in or opt-out whenever they choose. "We haven't put a lot of confines around how people should use it," Hirschberg says, "because we want to see how people will use it. We want to see what naturally happens."

Best of Detroit 2020 Poll
News & Views » Columns
by Curt Guyette
We reported a few weeks ago that Tim Beck plans on blitzing the polls with petitioners gathering names to put a pro-marijuana initiative on the Detroit ballot, figuring he could get all he needed in one shot on Election Day.
It didn't quite work that way, but supporters shouldn't be dismayed. According to Beck, his paid crew collected about 2,500 names Nov. 6. Since then, his folks have been hard at work, and Saturday night topped out at more than 8,022. That's a cushion of more than 1,900 beyond 6,140 signatures needed to place the measure on the ballot in August of next year.
Now it's off to the races for the measure instructing Detroit law enforcement to make the arrest of medical marijuana users their absolute lowest priority.
Or, better yet, the newly elected City Council could just go ahead and make the measure the law of our land.
Beck would prefer the latter. It would avoid what could be a costly election battle. Which is why Beck is already lobbying council members. Either way, though, he's confident of success.
"This is going to happen," he says. "It's going to happen."

It is extremely ironical that lifeboats, which are meant to save lives of people on board a ship during emergency times, have been the cause of several deaths of both crew members and passengers in the past. People have often claimed human error as the main reason for lifeboat accidents; however systematic research has found that faulty lifeboat mechanism has been the root cause for maximum number lifeboat accidents in the past. In this article we will learn about the main causes of lifeboat accidents.
This is the most probable and expected reason for any types of lifeboat accidents on board a ship. For many crew members, operating and lowering a lifeboat into the water is still a complex task. Also, the mechanical advancements in the launching system have overcomplicated the lifeboat launching mechanism system. Lack of training and awareness, along with the unclear user manuals, have also been the reason for such accidents. Many a times it has also happened that crew members have neglected the manuals, as they have been written in some other language and even the procedures provided by the company have not been concise and correct.
Apart from this, poor maintenance of lifeboat release mechanism and other parts of the lifeboat by the crew members have resulted into unwanted mishaps, which have even led to several deaths. Some of the ship's crew has also been seen following risky practices such as having personnel in the lifeboat while lowering or raising.
In the last few decades more people have been killed during lifeboat drills than being saved by it during actual emergency situations. Also when found out, maximum of these accidents was a result of failed lifeboat releasing mechanism. It is a known fact that many of the accidents in the past occurred because of the problems related to the release of lifeboat hooks. Earlier, lifeboat hooks couldn't be released unless they were under load. The pre-requisite became extremely difficult to attain, especially during rough sea often leading to jamming of the hooks. In such conditions, the crew members used any possible method to un-hook the lifeboat, risking their lives and leading to accidental situations. A series of accidents resulted because of this problem, until IMO came out with a rule that required lifeboats to be equipped with hooks disengaging gear that could be operated both on-load and off-load. However, the occurrences of lifeboat accidents didn't stop.
After that, though lifeboats with hook disengaging mechanism were provided on all boats, seafarers somehow had little confidence in the system. For this reason, they started using metallic wires for spanning the hooks manually to prevent the boat from falling incase the hook released unknowingly. However, these wires were used only during drills and thus a spate of accidents followed as a result of premature release of boats. For this reason, mechanical and hydrostatic interlocking systems were introduced in the lifeboats. But instead of making the process simpler they rather complicated the lifeboat launching system. The most surprising thing after the implementation of this system was that many lifeboat accidents took place mainly during the training exercises and drills which were carried out under the supervision of qualified officers. These accidents proved that many of the accidents occurred as a result of over-complicated launching systems, which required extensive training for operating it, and not because of human error or incapability in handling emergency.
Investigations of many lifeboat accidents have found that though many of the launching mechanisms satisfied the IMO regulations, they were still unsafe and suffered from technical flinches. Many launching system designs are still considered over complicated and instable. Several accidents took place in the past when the hooks came off on their own under the life boat's own weight, leaving very little room for the crew members to do anything in the situation.
Presently, the technical advancement has allowed launching of the lifeboat remotely and without the involvement of crew members. However, there is still a risk as crew members board the lifeboat before the automatic launching system is operated. Moreover, if the crew members decide to board the lifeboat using a ladder after it is launched in the water, then that also itself is an inherently risky operation.
Thus, the risk of lifeboat accidents will continue to haunt the seafarers unless and until some drastic steps are taken to revamp the current lifeboat launching systems and prevent unnecessary risking of the lives of innocent and hardworking crew members.

Ruifang () ist ein Bezirk der Stadt Neu-Taipeh im Norden Taiwans, Republik China.

Lage
Ruifang liegt am nordöstlichen Rand der Stadt Neu-Taipeh. Seine nördliche Grenze bildet das Ostchinesische Meer, im Süden grenzt Ruifang an seine Nachbarbezirke Gongliao, Shuangxi und Pingxi sowie im Westen an die Stadt Keelung. Das größtenteils hügelige Gelände des Bezirks stellt den nördlichsten Ausläufer des Taiwanischen Zentralgebirges dar. Ruifang wird vom Fluss Keelung durchflossen.

Geschichte und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Die ursprünglich isolierte und dünn besiedelte Gegend erlangte zur Zeit der japanischen Herrschaft über Taiwan durch Bodenschatzfunde wirtschaftliche Bedeutung. Ab dem Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden hier Gold, Kupfer und Kohle abgebaut. Zum Transport der Bodenschätze wurde der Ort an das Eisenbahnnetz angebunden. Die Ortsbezeichnung "Ruifang" war ursprünglich der Name eines Gemischtwarenladens am Keelung-Fluss, der für die Versorgung der zumeist in den Minen arbeitenden Einwohner von großer Bedeutung war und schließlich dem ganzen Ort seinen Namen gab.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gingen die Bodenschatzvorkommen zur Neige und der Abbau wurde eingestellt. Die stillgelegten Förderanlagen und Fabriken sind heute eine touristische Attraktion und wurden teilweise als Museen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. An die Geschichte des Goldabbaus erinnert das Gold-Museum von Ruifang. Eine weitere im In- und Ausland berühmte Attraktion ist die malerische historische Geschäftsgasse im Viertel Jiufen.
