As Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems grow in demand, what advice should wholesalers give to customers who are keen to install MVHR but don't know how to specify the technology? Christian Rehn, National Design and Project Manager of National Ventilation, explains how ventilation system design can be made simple.
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery sales are on the rise. And with MVHR increasingly the ventilation system of choice for new builds, now is an ideal time for electrical wholesalers to work with small to medium-sized contractors to help them grow their ventilation businesses by taking advantage of this developing market.
But when it comes to new build ventilation projects, contractors will need to be familiar with the design and specification of whole house ventilation technologies, such as MVHR. The only hurdle is that specialist knowledge of the equipment or software programmes is often needed to correctly calculate the pressure in the system over a given length of ducting. So what can wholesalers do to help their customers?
Lending a helping hand to your customers may make a big difference as to whether a contractor wins or loses a job. Ventilation design and specification may be daunting for some contractors who may not know where to start when asked to design an MVHR system – which could potentially lose them the business.
Fortunately, there are design services available, such as the free service that National Ventilation provides, to help electrical contractors secure these projects and grow their business.
Through its close relationship with electrical wholesalers, National Ventilation specialises in offering a free design service for self-build and design & build projects to help contractors win business they might otherwise have walked away from.
National Ventilation assists electrical wholesalers by sending them all the necessary information that's needed for their customers to help them with their ventilation system design. Wholesalers can then supply their customers with a full design and quotation including unit calculations, a full kit list as well as recommended duct routes, making the process simple for wholesalers and customers alike.
To help generate sales of MVHR it is also useful if electrical wholesalers are familiar with the simple steps needed to design and specify a ventilation system so that customers know what is entailed.
The first step in designing a ventilation system is for the contractor to obtain project drawings from the architect or developer and supply these to their wholesaler. This is then passed onto National Ventilation to enable them to specify the correctly sized ventilation unit and the correct type and lengths of ducting – whilst ensuring it meets Building Regulations.
Using the architect's drawings, property details are input into an airflow calculator. This will include the dimensions and types of rooms in the property so that the MVHR system can meet the airflow demands of each room. Once the total airflow figure has been calculated an MVHR unit can be selected to meet this need.
It is important to specify the correct unit for a property, as different MVHR units will offer different configurations. We design systems that ensure the MVHR unit is never working at more than 75% of its maximum capacity, ensuring that the unit works quietly and efficiently.
The next step in ventilation design is to decide where best to locate the MVHR unit, risers and ducting. The loft is an ideal location for the MVHR but in properties with vaulted ceilings an alternative location is needed such as a utility room or a plant room. It's also important to consider the building design and whether the ceilings have voids to run the ducting or webbed eco joists where the ducting can be run.
When it comes to MVHR systems, contractors can be put off by the arduous and specialist nature of traditional plastic ductwork but there is now a cost effective, simple alternative.
Switched on electrical wholesalers can advise their customers that semi rigid ductwork, such as National Ventilation's Monsoon Radial ducting, is ideal for smaller developments since it is flexible but robust with an outside diameter of just 75mm and, critical for ease on-site, it is up to 60% quicker to install.
This type of ducting also means fewer mistakes, since even a novice can install it to a high standard, with a Stanley knife the only real tool needed to install it, resulting in an airtight installation and improving system performance. With a range of plenums and accessories available, this system can overcome over 99% of issues that may occur on site, welcome news for contractors.
Once the location of the MVHR unit, risers and ducting has been decided the next stage is for the electrical wholesaler to receive the design and quote. This is supplied with detailed calculations, proposed ducting layout, where to put the MVHR unit and risers and how to control the unit, making everything simple and straightforward for the contractor.
However, quite often, plans only tell half the story and contractors can often be caught out if things such as steels don't show up on the original plans. The knock-on effect of this can be a need for additional materials that haven't been considered in the original calculations. This could result in an unhappy customer, which is far from ideal.
We can overcome this with a free pre-order site visit to ensure the design will perform as intended. A service like this is a great trouble shooting exercise and is also a good opportunity for the electrical contractor to learn more about the installation process, thus encouraging future potential orders for the electrical wholesaler.
By using a free planning and advice service, electrical wholesalers can be confident that they will be able to speak knowledgeably to customers and help them gain new contracts through providing this information. Therefore both wholesalers and contractors can be safe in the knowledge that the system is well designed and fit for purpose and that there is a point of contact that will assist them throughout the whole job.

Alexander Montgomery Carlisle, PC, britansko-irski inženir in poslovnež * 8. julij 1854 Ballyamena, Severna Irska † 6. marec 1926 London, Združeno Kraljestvo.

Carlisle je bil eden od delavcev in ladijskih arhitektov, ki so se v ladjedelnici Harland & Wolff ukvarjali z načrtovanjem treh največjih oceanskih ladij iz razreda Olympic, RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic in HMHS Britannic. Njegovo glavno področje odgovornosti pri načrtovanju in gradnji so bili ladijski varnostni sistemi, kot so neprepustna vrata in predelki, reševalni čolni ipd. Kot tajni svetnik je bil Carlisle znan, kot "Pravi častljiv".

Carlisle je imel med delom na treh linijskih ladjah nekaj manjših sporov z Lordom Pirriejem glede števila reševalnih čolnov, potrebnih za tako velike ladje. Pirrie, predsednik ladjedelnice Harland & Wolff, je bil zadovoljen, da je bilo število reševalnih čolnov več, kot v skladu s pravili ladijske trgovine. Carlisle se je kmalu upokojil in z ladjedelništvom ni imel nič več stikov. Thomas Andrews, Pirrijev nečak, je bil takrat mojster ladjedelnice. Medtem, ko so nekateri sodobni dokumetarni filmi trdili, da se je Carlisle upokojil zaradi jeze, ker Pirrie ni sprejel svojih priporočil za reševalne čolne, se je najverjetneje upokojil zaradi zdravstvenih težav. Linijske ladje razreda Olympic so bile zadnje ladje, na katerih je Carlisle delal.

Življenje
Carlisle se je rodil v Ballymeni 8. julija 1854. Bil je najstarejši sin Johnna Carlisleja, direktorja kraljeve akademije v Belfastu.

Carlisle se je v očetovi šoli učil do leta 1870, ko se je v 16. letu starosti pridružil ladjedelnici Harland & Wolff, kjer je bil vajenec. V tem obdobju je spoznal Williama Pirriea, ki se je pozneje, aprila 1879 poročil z Carlisleovo sestro Margaret. V svoji dolgi karieri v ladjedelnici je Alexander Carlisle zaporedoma zasedel položaje glavnega risarja, glavnega oblikovalca, vodje, generalni direktor itd.

1884 se je v San Franciscu poročil z Američanko Edith Wooster. Skupaj sta imela enega sina in dve hčerki. Na koncu so se preselil v veliko hišo v Belfastu.

Carlisle je bil eden od moških, ki so načrtovali tri ladje razreda Olympic: RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic in HMHS Britannic. Pri načrtovanju teh treh ladij je bil odgovoren za varnostne sisteme kot so neprepustna vrata, pregrade, in reševalni čolni. Poleg tega je uvedel namestitev novih dvigal za spuščanje reševalnih čolnov. Po več kot 40 letih delanja v ladjedelnici Harland & Wolff je Carlisle zapustil ladjedelnico in se pridružil podjetju Davit & Engineering Company Ltd., ki je proizvajal reševalne čolne in dvigala za spuščanje čolnov.

Leta 1912 je Carlisle pričal pred preiskavo o potopu ladje Titanic.

Carlisle je bil od leta 1907 član tajnega sveta Irske z kraljem Edwardom VII., ki je služboval v gospodarski hiši z Williamom Pirrijem. Leta 1920 je med razpravo o irski samoupravi zapustil tajni svet.

Alexander Carlisle je bil tudi močno zainteresiran in navdušen nad nemško kulturo, saj je na krovu nemških ladij opravil več čezatlantskih potovanj in le redko potoval na britanskih ladjah ali celo tistih, ki jih je sam načrtoval (npr. Carlisle ni nikoli potoval na nobeni ladji razreda Olympic). Njegovi pronemški pogledi so ga mnogokrat spravili v konflikt z Williamom Pirriejem in drugimi člani družbe; Carlisle se je tudi srečal in imel zvezo z nemškim cesarjem Willhelom II., ki se je poročil z eno od Carlisleovih hčerk. Wilhelm II. je večkrat trdil, da je bilo nemško pomorsko inženirstvo tako dobro kot britansko.

Carlisleovo zdravje se je začelo slabšati leta 1920. Trpel je zaradi težav s pljuči in srcem. Do konca leta 1924 se je njegovo zdravje močno poslabšalo zaradi česar je od leta 1925 ostal v postelji na svojem domu. Medtem, ko je ostal v postelji se je njegovo zdravstveno stanje v naslednjih mesecih nekoliko izboljšalo. Vendar je Carlisle umrl 5. marca 1926 na svojem domu v Londonu, star 71 let. Njegov pogreb je potekal na pokopališču Greater London.

Mike Potter proposed a changes in the Northwest Sport 40 Carrier rules that is intended to clarify the original intent of the event's rules.
The change specifies that the "stock" engine requirement includes the mandate that the carburetor that is original equipment for that engine must be used. Carbs from other engines or after-market carburetors are not allowed.
As the originator of the event and the author of the original rules, Mike indicated that the stock carburetor requirment was intended at the beginning but was not clear in the initial version of the rules.
Potter says the venturi size of carburetors varies, so that changing from original equipment could affect performance in a way not intended.
The new rules are become effective for the 2016 competition season.
A copy of the new rules is below.
3. ENGINES: Stock O.S. .40FP with stock muffler as supplied with the engine or Tower .40 with stock muffler as supplied with the engine, or O.S. .35FP with muffler as supplied with the engine are the only engines allowed. Muffler pressure is allowed. Engines must use carburetor that was manufactured with the engine, or an exact copy thereof.
Complete details of the Northwest control-line rules process are available on the Northwest Rules page.

The Raconteurs' new limited vinyl has a secret cover that parodies the Beatles
by Sarah Gillard
The Raconteurs have paid homage to The Beatles' 1966 album Yesterday and Today, in a limited edition run of Help Us Stranger LPs that were sent out to Third Man Vault subscribers.
If the tracks within the album weren't enough to hint at the heavy Beatles influence on The Raconteurs' new album, this hidden cover art will be.

The Raconteurs have recreated the Beatles' controversial 'Butcher' album cover with some secret artwork on their limited edition Help Us Stranger LP.
The Raconteurs' new album Help Us Stranger was released last Friday, with a limited run of LPs sent out to people who signed up for a quarterly paid subscription to the Third Man Records Vault, orders having closed weeks before the record landed on doorsteps.
The lenticular cover that's exclusive to the Vault edition is adhesively applied to the LP jacket, as is the case with all 3D album sleeves. Since Jack White's Third Man label is known for its packaging mischief, fans quickly speculated that there might be another image lying underneath, risking destroying their limited edition covers to find out. It was worth the damage; underneath the 3D cover artwork lay a parody of The Beatles' famous 1966 butcher album cover.
In 1966, the Beatles commissioned Aussie photographer Robert Whitaker to shoot a surreal cover image for Yesterday and Today, said to be a protest against the Vietnam war. The cover depicted the Fab Four adorned in turtlenecks and lab coats, with decapitated baby dolls and butchered meat strewn all over them.
The cover sparked controversy before the album was officially released and the majority of the records were recalled. A few copies were sold by stores anyway, but most were shipped back and destroyed. So as not to delay the release of the album, however, Capitol took some of the existing LPs and pasted a more generic cover art over the existing image. Thus, a piece of Beatles collector's gold was created, the cover-within-the-cover.
The Raconteurs have paid homage to this scandalous Beatles cover not just by creating a cover-within-a-cover, but the secret cover looks almost identical to the original Beatles artwork. The title and track listings are obviously different but the font is exact. At a first glimpse, it also looks like the band has recreated the photo shoot with precision; the same vintage dolls, cuts of meat and lab coats. However, a closer look shows that they've skipped the hard work and simply photoshopped their heads onto John, Paul, George and Ringo's bodies.
Help Us Stranger is out now.

A brief introduction to PRC government and legal structures
Home Perspectives A brief introduction to PRC government and legal structures
PRC1 Government Structure
The government of the People's Republic of China ("China") comprises central (or national) and local governments. The central government primarily consists of the National People's Congress ("NPC"), the State Council, the Supreme People's Court ("SPC") and the Supreme People's Procuratorate ("SPP").
The NPC is the supreme organ of state power, the State Council is the administrative/executive branch, and the SPC and SPP are the judicial organs of the central government. Directly under the State Council, there are nearly 50 ministries, commissions, administrations and offices that are responsible for administering, regulating and supervising the respective societal, economic and cultural aspects of the nation. Annex 1 is a chart setting out the central government's structure.
Local governments at the level of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities under the direct administration of the central government2 are structured similarly.
Authors: Michael Fosh Katherine Yang
PRC Legal System
China's legal system is largely a civil law system and consists of three broad categories of written law:
The Constitution of the People's Republic of China, which, in theory, is the supreme source of law, but which is rarely cited or is applied only in specific cases.
'Laws', 'administrative regulations', 'local regulations', 'department rules' and 'local government rules' (as respectively defined under the PRC Legislation Law).
'Normative documents', which are not formally recognised as a source of law, but are specific directives, notices or circulars that are formulated and issued by various administrative authorities (i.e., the State Council and ministries, commissions, administrations and offices of the State Council as well as their respective local counterparts) in order to provide detailed implementing rules or an explanation of legal principles and administrative regulations. As laws and administrative regulations are often principle-based and lack implementing details, these normative documents in practice function as a source of law. As long as these normative documents do not violate laws or administrative regulations, PRC courts would normally give deference to such documents.
While the lower-ranking laws in theory should not contradict those of higher ranking, China has no formal judicial review of the constitutionality of a given law. Set out in Annex 2 is a table of different sources of law and their relative ranking in authority.

Drive against pornography: 97 arrested, 160 cases registered
The Delhi police on Friday said that 97 people have been arrested and 160 cases registered in a drive against child pornography under operation 'Masoom' that began on Wednesday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) K.P.S. Malhotra said that the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit launched the operation.
The police said that details of the violations pertaining to child pornographic material are received at the IFSO through the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), which has signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), a private and non-profit organisation. This organisation was established in 1984 by the United Nations Congress and is based in the U.S. The organisation further ties up with the social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
"The NCMEC checks the social media platforms and whenever it comes across any content found violating the privacy/obscene material about children, it is red-flagged. It procures the IP address of the user who has uploaded the content and shares with the NCRB," Mr. Malhotra said, adding that the NCMEC further shares it with the IFSO, the organisation's nodal agency in Delhi.

Sunrise was just a couple hours ago, but the sun shines as if it were noon. A cool sea-scented breeze blows from the west, moving my hair hair. I sit on a nearby rock to watch the morning show. Below, not far, hundreds of small fishing boats come and go with the fish to supply the many bars and restaurants around the harbor.
I'm at Byblos, a small port town 20 miles north of Beirut. Unlike the frantic Lebanese capital, Byblos is a quiet place, a typical coastal town that, as it's usual, seems to run at a different, more unruffled pace.
In Byblos (old Gebal and presend day Jbeil) it is possible to find Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine and medieval ruins. The oldest part of Byblos is far from the center of the modern city, along a shoreline cliff. Here, you can visit a 1,000 years old citadel with panoramic views of the Mediterranean, climb up the stairs of a Roman amphitheater and walk around a 2,000 years old Phoenician necropolis.
During the second half of the twentieth century, this port town was known as the meeting point for the European and international jet-set. In the 1960s, celebrities from the likes of Marlon Brando or Brigitte Bardot wouldn't miss the opportunity to dock their yachts in the marina and walk around the trendy harbor eateries and through the ancient streets of the city.
Maybe Byblos' serenity is due to its very advanced age. I find myself sitting on a rock in a place that holds the title of being the world's oldest city. This is, of course, if we define this metric as "a place established as a city and inhabited continuously since its foundation until today".
Carbon tests placed the first human settlement in this area during the Neolithic period, around 7000 BC. However, what we now know as Byblos was not officially established as a city until about 5000 BC.
As the main port of export of cedar and other valuable woods to Egypt, the coastal city become an important center of maritime trade in a short time.
Egyptian monuments and inscriptions found in the archaeological area attest to a close relationship with the Nile River valley during the second half of the second millennium. During the 12th Egyptian dynasty (1938-1756 BC), Byblos became a dependence of Egypt, and even the main goddess of the city, Baalat ("The Lady"), was worshiped in the land of the pyramids. After the collapse of the New Empire in the 11th century BC, Byblos became the most important city in Phoenicia.
The Phoenician alphabet was developed at Byblos, and it is from here that almost all known Phoenician inscriptions come from, most of which date from the 10th century BC. By then, however, the kingdom of Sidon, with its capital at Tyre had become dominant in Phoenicia, and Byblos, despite having flourished in Roman times, never regained its former supremacy.
The Crusaders took the city in 1103 and named it Gibelet.
The Crusader castle is the most impressive structure of Byblos. It was built with limestone blocks on the remains of a previous Roman structure. The castle was captured by Saladin, the legendary Sultan of Egypt and Syria in 1188.
There is a small but informative museum inside the castle on the archaeological history of Byblos. The Castle terrace offers postcard views of the Mediterranean Sea.
I look at my watch and realize that it is time to return to Beirut. After all this time, I still fail to understand how it is possible that time can go by so fast when it seems to have stopped.
Loved your post! I visited Byblos quite recently and absolutely loved it, such a nice port city! The medieval streets and the great views from the top of the castle were just breathtaking.


Director Damien Chazelle treads familiar thematic territory in his third feature, La La Land, in which he revisits characters who make sacrifices for the sake of artistic ambitions. Unlike his previous film, Whiplash, which has a darker and bleaker outlook on the consequences of creative endeavours, La La Land, as its title would suggest, takes a sunnier approach to the pursuit of dreams. It's as if Chazelle crawled out of a dark hole and decided to look back on the struggles in his life in a positive retrospect-one brimmed with bright possibilities, soaked with youthful optimism, and tinged with heart aching nostalgia.
The film follows Mia and "Seb" (Sebastian), two starry-eyed individuals in LA who meet and fall in love after a series of charming chance encounters. These happenstances occur so frequently that even Seb comments on them by saying that "maybe it means something". Though Mia quickly dismisses any possible profundity, responding with "I doubt it". It's a moment in the film that feels almost like a wink at romantic comedies and their "meet cute" set ups, a moment that points out their contrived and cliched nature while simultaneously highlighting the magic of movies to bring disparate characters from different worlds together.
As the two form their relationship, they encourage one another to pursue their individual dreams. Mia is an aspiring actress who lives vicariously as a barista working at a coffee shop on a Hollywood studio lot while Seb is a struggling jazz pianist with ambitions of opening up his own jazz club. Both constantly face the ego-crushing reality of struggling to make it big in a land where aspiring actresses are a dime a dozen and traditional jazz is, as Seb says, "dying". However, it's their relationship with each other that keeps their hearts and spirits alive. With Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling playing the charismatic and charming duo with such ease, it's not hard for the audience to feel the same way as well. Their chemistry is so palpable, it practically radiates in every scene as brightly as the sunny backdrop of the film.
As Mia and Seb continue to sweep each other off their respective feet, Chazelle romances the audience in his own way with picturesque settings that are moodily lit, sweeping shots that pull you along with the movement of the characters, and catchy musical numbers that make you ache for a bygone era of Hollywood cinema. There's a fantasy-like quality to the the world that Chazelle depicts in La La Land which allows the audience to immerse itself into Mia and Seb's idealized romance.
The couple's world unfortunately gets disrupted when Seb joins his old friend's Keith somewhat cheesy but moderately successful jazz band as a keyboardist, which sees Seb's relationship with Mia, along with his artistic integrity, being challenged. It seems that for Chazelle, a person's professional and private life are not always able to harmoniously coexist. But rather than illustrate how romantic relationships get in the way of creative success, as was seen in Whiplash, La La Land shows how these relationships help us get to where we are, even if they don't end up working out. While the ending of the film might leave some people dissatisfied, the heart of its message will make you look at life as a glass half full.
See it! Damien Chazelle manages to marry the old and the new by elevating the styles of classical Hollywood movies into an artistic form. At a telling moment in the film, Keith asks Seb (who seems like an on-screen surrogate for Chazelle), "How are you going to be a revolutionary if you're such a traditionalist?". Chazelle seems to answer that very question by creating a modern musical that blends tradition with his own unique vision.
La La Land is currently playing in theatres.


In an attempt to spend less time here and feel better about life, I've started bookmaking again. Coptic has been the choice the last few days, and the first two attempts are below. Very basic, two-needle stitching with soft covers. I want to get into wood covers and handmade paper, but need to learn the stitching patterns and tension and all that. These took about an hour apiece, start to finish ... Fynn's art supplied the covers, and I used embroidery thread as I don't have proper bookthread yet. Not recommended, it frays and gets snagged much too easily when you're resewing out the same holes.
I love that you can bind anything together that you can poke holes in, and it doesn't use any glue or mucky stuff like that. I hate using spray glue though it's handy sometimes. The white pages in the book in the top photo are old photocopies of michael's doodles, so there's random stuff scattered throughout.

UFU 100
Search Ulster Farmers Union Search
UFU launch members Facebook group
The Ulster Farmers' Union is expanding the online services it provides by creating a member-only Facebook community group where members can keep up to date on the latest UFU activities.
UFU deputy president, Victor Chestnutt said, "Our membership is spread right across Northern Ireland and it varies between individuals as to what media formats they use to keep informed. We work across many different platforms – including print and digital, to ensure members know about the work we are doing on their behalf."
Over the coming weeks, the UFU will be introducing the new UFU Facebook group and encouraging members to join.
"The UFU Facebook group will have more member focused content, including exclusive digital content. This will include a daily news round-up, information about membership services, policy information, notifications about events and a monthly president's message. It's an exciting time for the UFU as we expand our information services to members," said Mr Chestnutt.
The UFU has an 11,000 plus strong following on its public facing Facebook page, which it plans to keep growing with more targeted content.
Mr Chestnutt said, "We will still continue to post on our Facebook page, however, the messaging will be more about promoting the industry, such as the high-quality food we produce, our contribution to the economy and how we care for the environment. With all the misinformation about agriculture in the public domain it is crucial we continue to boast about our world-class industry."
Joining the group is easy. Members can search for the 'Ulster Farmers' Union members community' on Facebook and request to join by answering three simple membership related questions.
In today's world of regulation and inspections it is very reassuring to know that as a member , the support and knowledge of the Ulster Farmers Union is only a phone call away .The expertise and depth of knowledge that the Policy Officers and Technical Officers have right across all aspects of our industry is second to none. When a situation arose on our farm involving the Environment Agency, the support and advice we received from the Union proved invaluable. We suddenly found ourselves in a situation completely outside our previous experience and the fact that the Union was there for us at every stage made a huge difference.

Having a UFU membership is a very prudent investment. Members have access to a highly motivated team who are fighting for the best results that can be obtained to help our farming business.

We used the BASC pest control scheme to get rid of a rabbit problem we had. It was free through our UFU membership and was a great help as it saved me the time and money having to get rid of the rabbits myself.

What Characters Are In Resident Evil 3 Remake?
By Daley Wilhelm/Feb. 25, 2020 12:08 pm EST
Fans said goodbye to Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and even Ada Wong in Resident Evil 2 Remake. Despite Resident Evil 3 Remake serving as something of a prequel, you shouldn't expect these characters to make a cameo in the new game. Rather, Resident Evil 3 Remake centers on Jill Valentine and the few people tough enough to survive an overrun Raccoon City.
Jill Valentine is a S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) officer from the Raccoon Police department. In the original Resident Evil game, she and her team discovered a mansion/lab in the Arklay Mountains outside of the city filled with monsters and mayhem handcrafted by the Umbrella Corporation. She was separated from her teammates (including Claire Redfield's brother) and made her way back to Raccoon City, only to discover the streets overrun with zombies as a result of Umbrella's T-virus.
This isn't exactly a good look for Umbrella, so the pharmaceutical company takes steps to erase any evidence of its connection to the T-virus, including sending the monstrous Nemesis after Jill. This ugly brute serves as the main baddie in the game. Umbrella also deploys the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.) to ensure no one blames Umbrella for the disaster and to see who would win in a fight: professional killers or killer mutants?
Mutants win. Who would have guessed? In the end, only a few U.B.C.S. members manage to survive, including Carlos Olivera, the shaggy-haired commando you may have noticed on the cover of the remake. Throughout the game, you'll run into a handful of his comrades: Mikhail Victor, Murphy Seeker, Tyrell Patrick, and Nicholai Ginovaef. You'll also encounter a whole host of mutants, monsters, and other terrors, so don't expect all these newfound acquaintances to make it out of Raccoon City alive.


You intend to know how to attract a Sagittarius man, don't you? You've accomplished a man like this and he has been swept you right off your feet. Even though you two never have been dating for long you likely have already started out looking towards the future. Who would?
A man like this is truly a treasure and these males make loving, caring and attentive partners. Getting with here to there can take some effort and insight though.
If you take the fact that approach he'll pull once again and any chance it's possible you have had to establish something resilient will be gone. Instead, permit him set the rate while you give him all the signals that you're interested in a romance. Flirt with him.
If you want to ensure that you are the woman he completely crumbles head over heels for, you have to know exactly what it is that his heart melt. Learning how to attract a Sagittarius gentleman means recognizing the power to be positive.
Don't let the eyes wander to various men or even to your cellular to check your messages when out with your Sagittarian. His ego will be bruised. It's also possible to attract a Sagittarius just by always looking your best.
These men do not enjoy being around negative people and will even end relationships and friendships in the event that they feel the other person provides a bad attitude. If you have numerous drama in your life it is best to not drag it towards your conversations with your Sagittarius man. He doesn't prefer to hear about it and it's going to definitely make him uncomfortable.
These men can't get enough of this. They feel complimented when the woman they are with flirts with these and ignores every other guy in the room.
Instead, always have a teeth on your face and something great and upbeat to share. The guy wants to see that you enjoy lifestyle and the good things in the idea as much as he does. Looking to push a man born with this star sign towards a relationship before he's set won't work.


Disclaimer: This is a copy of the UT2004 Max FPS & Connection Settings Guide posted on the UnrealNorth.com-Forums by asc. I'm posting this here since UnrealNorth has been down for some time now, and I think this should be preserved.
Since there doesn't seem to be a definitive guide on UT2004 frame-rates and connection settings, I thought I'd share what I found to make everyone's online experience (much) better.
There is often some confusion as to what netspeed to use and which frame-rate is better than the other, hopefully this guide will put this to an end. Since this game is almost ten years old a lot of the settings were designed for PC's and networks of pre-2004, but we can now change some things to make better use of current tech.
What we all want to achieve is lower latency when playing online to give us the best gaming experience. To achieve this we need a high stable frame-rate and to also tweak connection settings to send more packets of data. Why more packets? So that the game doesn't have to wait as long to send your 'hit data' to the server – meaning that your hits will be registered more often and more accurately! Before anyone complains, the weapons fire rates are independent of the games' tick-rate, frame-rate, or packets sent/s, meaning that firing weapons online should be closer to how they feel offline (The way it's meant to be played ).
By default the online fps is capped to 85fps. This sends about 43 packets/s, which gives you 24ms of latency before you've sent that data to the server. When the Netspeed is set above 10000 (also unlocks fps cap) then the game will send 85 packets/s at 85fps, which gives you 12ms of latency.
Now what if you want higher frame-rate?
So, 85fps = (1/0.012 + 2), 93fps = (1/0.011 + 2), 102fps = (1/0.010 + 2), etc.
Let's say that you wanted 120fps and you put MaxClientFrameRate=120 in your ut2004.ini, you'll only get 113fps in-game as that's the next cap down according to the above fps caps. So, you cannot pick whatever fps cap you like.
OK, so how do you work out which Netspeed to set?
Or, type: 'Netspeed xxxxx' in console.
Or, bind to a key: 'key=Netspeed xxxxx'.
Each packet is 64 bytes. Your Netspeed is the maximum bytes of data you want to allow the game to send. Your netspeed can be calculated by: your FPS x 64.
If your Netspeed is too low then the game will discard some game data before sending it to the server, which will result in a feeling similar to having packet loss.
So for 113fps, you'll need a Netspeed of 113fps * 64bytes = 7232. But, this will keep your frame-rate at 85 because it is locked. To unlock this, enter a Netspeed of 10001.
Set this to [s]0.009[/s] 0.007. You'll now send 113 packets/s at 113fps.
So far I've managed to find stable frame-rates of up to 202fps by changing the KeepAliveTime value. This sends 194 packets/s at 202fps – reducing latency to 5.2ms. This needs a minimum Netspeed of 13120. [s]I'm still not 100% sure on what KeepAliveTime is doing[/s] EDIT: (Epic recently stated it doesn't add any gameplay value – damn ) but at some values it does make the frame-rate more stable. At the default KeepAliveTime value with MaxClientRate=202 the fps would often jump to 230+fps and wouldn't feel smooth.
I've not included values for 250fps or higher because I've not managed to get it stable. It jumps to 300+fps sometimes, also on some maps such as DM-1on1-Roughinery-FE it drops far below 250fps.
Edit: It seems as though Nvidia users may need to put MaxClientFrameRate=200.0 instead of 202 or 205 to get a stable 200fps in-game. Same method might apply to other frame-rate values.
Edit, 250fps: If you'd like to try for 250fps then I've had someone tell me how they've managed to get it stable whilst sending 250 packet/s with these values: MaxClientFrameRate=252 (or 250 with Nvidia), Netspeed >16000, KeepAliveTime= 0.003. As netspeed is >15000 then it might be a problem with some servers; you can however still keep the same frame-rate but halve your packets sent to 125 packets/s by using KeepAliveTime= 0.004, which should be fine for 15000 netspeed.
I've found that enabling HPET in BIOS changed the frame-rate values needed in the ini. It makes the input lag from your machine more consistent as tested by noacc on ESR. There's much less oscillation in frame-rate values with it on. I've also included frame-rate values of up to 333fps for anyone who's feeling adventurous.
To clarify, the latency in the table refers to the time between packets sent. Your ping to the server is another matter. The more packets you send per second the less time your weapon fire or movement change needs to wait before your input is registered to the server. This may in-fact give you the feeling of a more stable ping. As the table shows, the gains in reduced latency become smaller as you go higher in frame-rate and packets/s sent. So, there isn't much point in trying to use 335fps or higher for example. It's best to stick to a frame-rate and packet/s that your machine and connection can handle stably.
Also, the Netspeed values shown in the table are only the minimum values required to achieve said frame-rates and packets/s. It would be safer to use a higher value; 20,000 or higher if you'd like as long as it is within your connections' upload speed. Remember – Netspeed 20,000 is 20kb/s upload.
So, there you have it. You will need to check if you can achieve these frame-rates offline before you try online. You may need to reduce your graphics settings. Look out for packet-loss and adjust settings according to the table above if needed.
Note: I was using the 64bit version of UT2004 as it gave me a higher and more stable fps with the above settings.

Poor Mamo had been living in a purple room for a while so I decided to redecorate a little bit. The kid art stayed, of course, but with a teen smartypants in the house I thought it was important that we finally add a microscope to the mix. Also, I did not realize how huge it was. Wow.
He also had the whim to play violin so I had him continue where he left off as a child. As you can see, he's not quite up to snuff. No matter, he'll get there eventually.
Oh, I didn't tell you his new traits! To add to his existing hot-headed trait, he rolled genius (PERFECT) and the aspiration for a successful lineage. We can work with that.
They headed up to the second floor deck for a game of cards. This girl's got personality! They played for several hours that afternoon before she went home.
Later that evening, Masumi needed a bit of fun so she popped into her pirate ship and started her quest for sea monsters!
Look who showed up: Great Aunt Aya! She's still looking beautiful, of course. She and Masumi got along pretty well. I was happy to see that Aya and Natsuki became good friends during this time.
Masumi had her own idea of what to talk to Aya about: OLD AGE. Aya was a little offended. I would be, too, since Aya doesn't really look like an elder. I can hardly believe it, myself. I'm really afraid that it'll soon be her time and I'll miss it. It makes me want to move her back into the legacy home so we'll have her ghost. The Aya in CathyTea's Hippie House is still a young adult (it's almost her birthday!).
My sims aren't really game aware in this world (they don't think about it, really) but the Aya in the Hippie House is most likely TOTALLY game aware. How could she not be?
Oh, I forgot to mention! With less to do at home now, I decided to try and have a go at Nade's aspiration: Joke Star. She joined the entertainer career and started to learn guitar.
Playing guitar in your underwear is totally acceptable when you're home alone.
Anyway, you can see how excited Maddox is to come home from work and celebrate his birthday.

Q: How to execute GuiMacro from ConEmu child I am using ConEmu as an Irssi host on windows and so far it works perfect!
I would like to implement an additional feature though through the GuiMacro system that ConEmu exposes.
From inside irssi, through its perl scripting system, i am able to find the irssi.exe instance pid (from the $$ variable). Now using this, how can i retrieve the ConEmuC.exe pid that communicates the Irssi instance, to make the following sample line work?:
ConEmuC.exe -Guimacro:<ConEmuC.exe PID> MsgBox("Notification text")

A: Well it seems that there is an %ConEmuServerPID% exactly for this work!
I should had read better the documentation.

Challenge 20/20 Students Host Poverty Panel
Many representatives from organizations dealing with poverty participated in a discussion with students involved in the North American Independent Schools Challenge 20/20 competition. MLA Rob Fleming, reporter Jody Paterson, and Chris Ford from the Youth Empowerment Society were some of many guests who came to speak on the issue.
"It's about owning responsibility," said Brad Crewson of non-profit Pacifica Housing. "Having people homeless is not acceptable."
The event began with representatives from business, social service, media and government organizations meeting in small break-out groups with students. After an hour-long discussion, five speakers participated in a panel where all students were able to ask questions and delegates could hear from each other.
The discussion touched on many surrounding issues, such as housing shortages, addiction and public safety, as well as public perception of the problem of poverty and the people who face it. City councillor Chris Coleman spoke about an old schoolmate from his days at St. George's School who was now living homeless due to a battle with schizophrenia. "We were the golden kids, but 1% of our graduating class is living homeless," he said.
Speakers also commented on solutions in other cities around the world, and how these might work in Victoria. By the end of the panel, the speakers had given students a lot of insight into what needs to be done on a local level, including establishing support for people at different levels of need, spreading resources throughout the city, and connecting independent centres.
"We're all bits and pieces of a puzzle that's not put together," said Reverend Allen Tysick, director of poverty-outreach organization Our Place.
Thursday, the students met to discuss how they will incorporate the information from the panel into their presentation and website on the topic, as well as actions they and the school can take to impact poverty immediately.
The Challenge 20/20 programme focuses on finding solutions for global problems on a local level and includes 400 schools from 53 countries. Last year, SMUS won the Challenge 20/20 competition for its analysis of water deficits in Tofino.

Q: pondjs not recognised after installing I'm using Webstorm IDE and have created a create-react-app. I installed pondjs using:
npm install pondjs --save

it got installed and that's why I can see it in node-modules.
But in my App.js when I'm trying to import it using :
import { TimeSeries, TimeRange } from "pondjs";

this package is not recognised. Please help. I'm trying to solve this since long.

A: Use require instead of import.
const { TimeSeries, TimeRange } = require('pondjs');

A: Not sure why but installing the alpha version of pond.js fixed the issue in my case.
yarn install pondjs@1.0.0-alpha.0

Importing pond.js in the project:
import { timeSeries } from "pondjs";

DeMario Jackson Reportedly Quits 'Bachelor In Paradise'
By Charlie Ridgely - June 22, 2017 08:34 am EDT
The Bachelor in Paradise scandal may be over, but the problems for the contestants involved still remain.
According to TMZ, DeMario Jackson, who was accused of taking advantage of Corinne Olympios after the two engaged in oral sex in the pool, will not return to the show now that filming has resumed.
The investigation into the incident found no wrong-doing on the part of Jackson, and the show getting ready to start production once again. However, the entire event has been difficult for Jackson, and he apparently wants no part in a return.
Sources claim that the reality star has been suffering from anxiety over the scandal, and he feels as though he's been living under a cloud of suspicion throughout the process. He's reportedly also been seeing a therapist.
More: Fuller House Under Fire For Potential Animal Cruelty
Understandably, Jackson is upset because his name will forever be linked to this scandal, despite the fact that he was found innocent in the investigation.
Some sources close to the investigation say that Jackson was invited back but declined to reappear, while other sources say that he hasn't made an official decision.
Meanwhile, it's being reported that Olympios will not be invited back to Bachelor in Paradise, or any other Bachelor property.

Discussion in 'New Members Say Hello' started by Dez, Dec 27, 2014.
Hello and merry Christmas to all!!!
I am new to this forum and would like to gain more info on how to set up my music display. For a couple of years we have had a basic light display but I think it's time to take it to the next level. Can someone please direct me to which sub topic I should post in as I have no idea on where to start with all this.
Hi Dez, welcome to ACL.
Read the 101 manual, when you think you've got it, read it again. There are some things in Xmas lights that don't make sense at first blush.
Thanks all. Yes I have read the 101 manual and I am now more confused than ever. I guess I understand all the terms etc but not sure how to apply it to my situation and where to start??
Pop into chat and we'll help you get up to speed.
As has been already said once or twice read the manual a couple of times.
Some of it will start to make sense, but for the parts that don't, just ask and the friendly folks here will be glad to help.
One place to start is figure out what (of your existing lights) do you want to blink.


Canada: A History of Resistance?
With recent events in Canada related to the Idle No More campaign and an often nasty national dialogue related to First Nations struggles in this country, I have started to wonder if resistance and rebellion, depending on your loyalties, are a part of our narrative and who we are. The 19th century, with two Métis resistances, one war against an oppressive empire to the south, two major rebellions in the Canadas, nationalist revolutionary movements in Quebec in the 20th century, and now an indigenous resistance based on a general angst, speaks to an uneasiness we have with oppressive and unresponsive governments. In nearly all cases, governments have taken for granted the legitimate concerns of minority and vulnerable groups of people who are about to be displaced our lose their culture. Right or wrong, these movements are a consistent feature on our historical landscape (this is my opinion, not a truth).
Recently we have explored the history of Red River since 1738. We understand the relationship between First Nations and Europeans, the treaty signed between Selkirk and Peguis, and how people tried to share space. We also learned what happened when Canada did not talk to the Métis when looking to engulf the Northwest into Confederation. We are able to answer the question: Why is Louis Riel the father of Manitoba?
Watch 1812 Long Tease on PBS. See more from The War of 1812.
By the 1830s, there were rumblings of rebellions and these hit a feverish point in 1837 and '38. Here is a great resource on the Rebellions of 1837/38. We know that there were rebellions in the maritime colonies, the Parliament building was burned down in 1849,there were two Metis rebellions in the Northwest, a massacre in Montreal, an FLQ crisis in Quebec, several First Nations protests and now the Idle No More movement (I will supply articles on these in class, but do not want to post them as they are copyrighted. I don't want my friends at Canada's History to beat me up). Are we a nation of resistance and/or rebellions? What does this mean in terms of the development of Peace, Order, and Good Government? Has this rebellious nature created our democracy? Please respond initially via this blog and then we will do some formal writing next week.
Here are a couple of assignments I have given my Grade 9 Social Studies class and my Grade 11/12 Law class. I would love for your students to take part!
Here is my attempt at creating an interactive and evolving Idle No More textbook for educators and students across the country. A major goal is to engage all in higher-order thinking and writing about this historic movement. As per my previous post, I find this a critical time to examine our collective history and see what we need to do to move on. With any issue, there are many perspectives and many which are ill informed. In order to think critically about any issue and to seek out what is significant, we need to have a basic understanding of the forces at work. Over the last few days, I have put together a few resources to help us understand, at a basic level, what Idle No More is, what Bill C-45 is, what Canadians are saying, and what First Nations leaders are saying.
I hope that we can build this resource over the next few weeks. Please feel free to comment below and suggest links that would be useful. I also welcome the thoughts on Idle No More from students and teachers around that world that are constructive and are meant to construct knowledge.
I sent leaders and community observers within the Idle No More movement some questions to answer. More responses are on the way. I would like to thank the respondents for their time and candour.
Waub Rice from CBC Ottawa (Community Observer) Sheila North Wilson from Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (Leader) Niigaan Sinclair, Professor at the University of Manitoba on CBC Radio (Leader) (The whole interview can be found here: http://www.cbc.ca/inforadio/) What are Canadians Saying?
Fickle Spence CBC on the Meeting – GREAT RESOURCE!!
The Idle No More movement speaks volumes as to our understanding of our history and our relationship with each other. John Ralston Saul suggested that we are a small "M" métis nation; one shaped by our indigenous roots – but this history was rewritten in the 19th and 20th centuries. If this is the case, perhaps the Idle No More campaign is a wake-up call to this relationship and to the reality that Canada needs to fess up to some ugly truths. Our story is complex and involves a lot of players; the solutions may be equally perplexing and painful.
As an educator and someone who likes to read history, Idle No More is of great interest and personal investment. Many of my friends are of First Nation descent, and I am grateful for being included in their stories. I am sure they are equally overjoyed to be part of my European-mutt-Roma story.
Over the winter holidays, I have struggled as to how to investigate such a movement in my classroom and within my own consciousness. Where do I start?
The first step I have taken is to solicit the input of leaders in Canada within the movement. I have sent the following questionnaire to Sheila North Wilson of CBC Manitoba, Waub Rice of CBC Ottawa, Michael Champagne of CKUW's Inner City Voices, and Niigaan Sinclair from the University of Manitoba. My hope is that the podcasts created by these participants will shape a would-be textbook and provide us with an inside look at the motivation and inspiration of the movement.
By the cognitive, I refer to the critical thinking and rigour involved in furthering our understanding of our collective stories. Idle No More represents a huge idea and sub concepts which could dilute any message. As January 7th approaches (the first day back following the holidays), I need to create an environment whereby we can attack the BIG questions and answer them with rigour. By rigour I refer to William Doll's explanation: "purposely looking for different alternatives, relations, connections" (Doll, 1993). I find often that inquiry and project-based learning can attack huge ideas whereby they are watered down and simply become an exercise in free-for-all-ism. What I want to do, particularly with my Grade 12 Global Issues class, is to pose 3 or 4 major questions that get to the essence of this movement. I suspect the rigour will take care of itself once these questions are established and the learning is directed by the community.
In all, I want this investigation to inspire empathy, critical thinking, and an understanding of "the other" and of each other's stories. I want to teach my students how to look at certain movements with logic, compassion, and not to immediately polarize debates. Part of this success will be based on my openness to have my assumptions challenged. Perhaps, as Idle No More has, this educative experience will bring more Canadians together and will help perpetuate a constructive dialogue between colonized, colonizer, and everyone else.

Demons are all around us. They have the ability to influence the world, the environment and even our actions. We can't see them, but they can see us and they delight in causing problems whenever they can.
But why? Well, for fun! It makes them happy to have bad things happen to people. And what makes it even better is when they can ride the wave of karma and torment someone who really deserves it.
When one of those special people comes around, someone who has done something terrible without remorse, the demons decide to include that person in one of their games.
Whichever demon torments that person the most wins. The prize is the opportunity of leading that person to whatever horrible end the demon so chooses.
Demonize is the story of one of those competitions. It's a collaborative and competitive story game where 3-5 players are trying to drive someone to madness and destruction.
Demonize is quick. It plays in less than an hour and is designed to give a group of players a chance to warm up their creative muscles before a longer game, or blow off some steam at the end of the night.
The role-playing in this game is not very intensive. It's all about narration and having fun. Don't sweat it! Just be loose, enjoy yourself, and try to tell a good story.
Demonize is currently in playtest. Check out this page for updates on its development and contact me with any questions!
Where's the project at ?
DeReel, it's been put on hold but send me an email and I'll send you what I have so you can try it out.

Alcohol is a drug. The drinking of it is usually a choice.
Alcohol is absolutely a drug. It is normally not called a drug in order to make it seem harmless and socially acceptable. It is far more addictive and does far more physical damage than cannabis but guess which one is identified as a "drug" with the same drug classification as heroin.
Are you drinking alcohol right now?
At what age did you start drinking alcohol? What did you start with?
What was the most embarrsing moment that happen when you was drinking alcohol?

Soju: The New Vodka
By Kate Bonamici
(FORTUNE Magazine) – No liquor license? No problem. Alcohol trends move so fast it's hard to keep track, but one booze to watch is Soju, a Korean import gaining popularity as a vodka substitute.
Soju is distilled from rice, barley, and koji (a cultured grain), and cheaper brands are made from sweet potatoes. The brew is about 24% alcohol, compared with around 5% alcohol by volume for beer, 11% to 14% for wine, and 40% for vodka. Though Soju is twice as potent as pinot noir, for the past few years it has been lumped in with wine and beer under New York and California licensing laws, meaning restaurants without a full liquor license can offer mixed drinks using the mild-tasting spirit. It's a coup for small restaurants, since a full liquor license costs $4,352 for a two-year permit in New York City, while a beer and wine permit is only $480 a year. Soju's more popular cousin, sake, the Japanese rice wine, is also a popular mixer, but Soju contains more alcohol and less flavor, so it's better in cocktails and sweet drinks. Popular choices include Red Bull and Soju and a Soju screwdriver. As for Soju straight? Let's just say this writer advises against it. -- Kate Bonamici

Preschoolers and their moms are invited to join us each Monday morning at 9:30 for our playgroup. We'll be at Covington Woods Park June 4 & 18, and at Circus Square Park June 11 & 25. School-age kids are welcome during the summer, and bring some mom-friends with you! For more information, email michelle.taylor@lhbg.org.

AMD launches Radeon 7790: Meet the Xbox 720's GPU
By Joel Hruska on March 22, 2013 at 6:03 am
Today, AMD is launching the new Radeon 7790, a midrange GPU aimed at the $149 market segment. According to AMD, it's taking this step because a price gap has opened between the HD 7770 at $110 and the HD 7850, which starts ast $179. The 7790 is based on an a new Graphics Core Next (GCN)-class core, codenamed Bonaire. Bonaire is built on the same 28nm process technology as AMD's other GCN parts and it uses the same architecture.
It's also almost certainly the same GPU as what's in the Xbox Durango. Before we hit that, let's cover what's new in the card in general, and why it's a far more attractive option than the HD 7770.
AMD's current stack
If we ignore the rebadges, AMD's HD 7000 product family is based on three GPU designs — Tahiti (HD 7900), Pitcairn (HD 7800) and Cape Verde (HD 7700). The Cape Verde core is the smallest, with a max of 640 stream processors, a 128-bit memory interface, and a single primitive pipeline (maximum process rate of one primitive per clock). This cut-down design didn't work very well; the HD 7770 was generally panned at launch, particularly in comparison to the HD 6850 . The HD 7790 should fix that problem.
Tahiti, Pitcairn, and Bonaire use the top configuration, the HD 7770 uses the bottom.
The Radeon 7790 combines the greater geometry power of Tahiti and Pitcairn with the smaller memory bus on Cape Verde. The end result looks like this:
Performance benchmarks indicate that the Radeon 7790 is 20-40% faster than the HD 7770 and much better competition for the Nvidia GTX 650. AMD has made much of the fact that the 7790 supports SLI configurations and up to six displays (actual number of supported displays will depend on which connection options board vendors support). AMD has also improved its overclocking technology (PowerTune); the system introduced on Bonaire is programmed with eight potential states, rather than the four that previous HD 7000 cards offered.
AMD expects that we'll see 1GB and 2GB options but the company is leading with 1GB cards. How much this will matter to modern games is an open question — especially when the GPU uses a 128-bit memory bus. The card's 96GB/s of memory bandwidth is impressive for a bus that small — the GDDR5 on the first round of cards is clocked at 6GHz and up — but it's a bit pinched compared to the HD 7850.
Those are the basics of the HD 7790 as a PC solution, so let's switch gears and talk about the next generation Xbox.
