Randy Bachman wanted to prove he was no flash-in-the-pan after leaving the Guess Who. After a solo album and a country rock-ish outfit called Brave Belt, he created Bachman-Turner Overdrive with fellow Canadian muso Fred Turner. Their sound was designed to be hooky enough to score radio hits while featuring a higher percentage of power chords that could charm the growing market for heavy rock. Bachman financed the operation, made the record deals and chose the members, ruling over his enterprise in an iron-fisted manner that brought them to the top but also sowed the seeds of their downfall. This trio of albums represents the band's climb to the top. It took this period of recording for their sound to crystallize but as the following overview reveals, their gift for blending the popular rock styles of the day was in place from the get-go.
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE (1973): The band's persona is fully realized from the opening bars of the first cut here: a heavily amplified yet roots-y take on arena rock, often sounding like the Canadian response to southern rock on tracks like "Gimme Your Money Please" and "Thank You For The Feelin'." There is an emphasis on groove throughout and each track makes space for tasteful solos from Randy Bachman that never let volume eclipse melodic concerns. It dips into proto-metal occasionally, most notably on the glorious twin-guitar gallop of "Stayed Awake All Night," but the signature track here is "Blue Collar," a meditation on the working man's life that takes a sinuous jazz approach with Latin rhythmic accents. Despite their reputation for beefy rock, the latter track shows there was the artistry of craftsmen under B.T.O.'s big-riff bluster.
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE II (1973): The second album produced the first radio staples for the band: "Let It Ride" offsets a sweetly harmonized, Eagles-ish refrain with galloping verses where Turner's growly bellow roars over a relentless chug-riff and "Takin' Care Of Business" is a school-of-rock fantasy with a laid-back groove, a shout-along chorus and tons of killer Bachman riffing. The rest continues the southern rock vibe of the first album ("Stonegates") with a dash of hard-rock crunch in the riffs ("Tramp") and tub-thumping, occasionally tribal rhythm section approach (the sinister "I Don't Have To Hide"). The non-hits are slightly less engaging this time around but there's a strong early '70s vibe that those who favor that sound will revel in. Hidden gem: "Welcome Home," a witty portrait of rock life with acoustic proto-yacht rock verses, an arena rock chorus and a surprising jazz breakdown on the tag.
NOT FRAGILE (1974): This gang loved their automotive-themed metaphors so it's fair to describe this album as the one that fires on all cylinders: strong material including plenty of future B.T.O. standards, Bachman's clean, precise production captures a consistent blend of their different elements (heaviness, pastoral elements, pop song structures) into one arena-rockin' whole. The big single was "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," a playful goof on the speech issues of Bachman's manager brother that surprised the band by becoming their definitive hit. They shouldn't have been surprised as it's a perfect blend of country-rock verses and a stomping chorus whose stuttering hook gives it just the right hint of novelty. Elsewhere, the group continues its self-mythologizing bent on the title track and "Rock Is My Song And This Is My Life" while "Roll On Down The Highway" is the kind of driving song they excelled at and instrumental Duane Allman tribute "Free Wheelin'" has Bachman and new guitarist Blair Thornton trading fluid solos. Among the non-hits, "Blue Moanin'" is a midtempo boogie charmer and closer "Givin' It All Away" is surprisingly speedy and metallic in a way that anticipates the '80s.

Danish Nuclear Startup Taps Billionaire for Asian Reactor
Jesper Starn
Nov 25 2020, 1:57 PM Nov 30 2020, 9:58 PM November 25 2020, 1:57 PM November 30 2020, 9:58 PM
(Bloomberg) -- A Danish company planning to manufacture small modular reactors raised about 20 million euros ($24 million) to bring a floating nuclear-power station to southeast Asia.
Seaborg Technology AS raised the funds to bring nuclear power at sea to parts of southeast Asia which rely on fossil fuels and where renewables aren't yet an option. Floating reactors are as old as the nuclear age, with units powering submarines and icebreakers for some seven decades. Last year, Russia deployed new reactors on barges to light up remote Arctic coastlines.
Seaborg envisions building its molten fluoride salt reactors in South Korean shipyards after developing the technology in Denmark in a bid to keep costs down. Completed barges will then be towed to where they're needed. The plan is to connect the first unit to a grid by 2025.
"We will provide a significantly cheaper alternative to coal in regions with no access to renewable energy," said Troels Schonfeldt, chief executive officer of Seaborg.
Barges will be tugged to their final location where it can be anchored for as long as 24 years. Each barge can be outfitted with 200 to 600 megawatts of power capacity, depending on how many reactors are on board.
The money, raised from mostly private investors including fashion billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen, will be used to hire about 50 people and build a state of the art laboratory, Schonfeldt said.

A portrait of Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi is displayed on a billboard in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Oct. 31, 2021. Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday put up posters in support of Kordahi whose criticism of the Saudi-led war in Yemen sparked a diplomatic row between Lebanon and Gulf states.

George Kordahi
An Iranian Proxy in the Gulf Region
Al-Masry Al-Youm, Egypt, October 30
It is clear that Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi didn't differentiate between his role as a television personality and his role as a senior government minister during the controversial interview he gave to an Al Jazeera affiliate channel. In his interview, Kordahi claimed that the Houthis are simply "defending themselves against an external aggression" and that the Yemen war is "futile." Had he made these remarks as a media personality, no one would have really cared. It would have been viewed as his personal opinion on the matter, and nothing more. But because Kordahi is the minister of information in a government that has painstakingly been formed in Beirut, his remarks immediately circulated on social media and led to a severe crisis between Lebanon and the Gulf States. In response to the interview, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain all summoned their ambassadors from Lebanon, while the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemned Kordahi's remarks. Of course, if this is his opinion, he has every right to believe it. But it isn't his right to openly announce it and paint it as an official position of a political party or, worse, of the Lebanese government. It wasn't even a few hours after the video was published that Nayef Falah Al-Hajraf, the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, issued a statement rejecting Kordahi's remarks. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia soon followed suit and recalled its ambassador from Beirut. The Houthis are nothing more than an Iranian proxy tasked with carrying out Teheran's agenda in the Gulf. Kordahi understands this reality very well and knows that the survival of his own government similarly depends on Teheran. Meanwhile, the fact remains that the Iranian political project in the Middle East is a threat not to the Gulf alone, but to the entire Arab world. – Suleiman Gouda (translated by Asaf Zilberfarb)

There was nothing particularly novel about the principles Burke expressed. His letter was submitted along with the text of Quadragesimo anno ("the fortieth year"), Pope Pius XI's 1931 social encyclical, which commended the role of trade unions in social life. The title of that encyclical referred to the fortieth anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's elegant Rerum novarum (1891), the foundational text of Catholic social thought in the modern age. Reflecting on how the modern economy too often allows the rich and powerful an opportunity to exploit working people, Leo took comfort in the proliferation of "workingmen's unions" that helped ameliorate labor conditions. "There are not a few associations of this nature," the pope observed, "but it were greatly to be desired that they should become more numerous and more efficient."
Yet such associations are dwindling in the United States--falling from approximately 35 percent of private-sector wage earners in the decades after World War II to less than 10 percent today. Why? In large measure, unions have declined because of employers' illegal actions to obstruct the workers' right to organize.
The National Labor Relations Act--or the Wagner Act--was signed in 1935 to give workers an orderly and safe method to determine whether they wanted to negotiate with their employers collectively, as a union, or individually. Now organized workers enjoy numerous advantages over their nonunion counterparts: a written contract that secures fair and equitable treatment and prevents favoritism; a collective voice in the workplace; and, not least of all, superior wages and benefits. The U.S. Department of Labor reports that American union members earned an average annual salary of about $45,000--hardly a princely sum, but a solid 25 percent more than what nonunion workers earn. Unsurprisingly, in the wake of the Wagner Act, millions of American workers rushed to form unions.
* Firing union supporters early, because it is the best way to intimidate workers into abandoning an organizing campaign. (In Fiscal Year 2007 the U.S. National Labor Relations Board awarded back pay to 29,559 workers in such cases.) The action is flagrantly illegal, but it usually works. And it's a relative bargain when compared to the potential cost of collective bargaining.


My head feels like its bursting some days. My capacity to learn new things, to add to my already overloaded brain, diminishes every year. In order to stuff some fact or idea in my mind, something else has to give or be forgotten.
I'm not the fountain of all knowledge. There are cracks and empty slots, which I've never filled and for many areas of expertise, I haven't the inclination to do so. For example, I will never understand physics, so why bother to cram that knowledge into my head. It will pour out like water in a leaky sieve.
However, my children are different. They are born with empty memory slots and ready to learn. Calling an adult ignorant or naive is an insult, but to a child it is considered a blessing. Their innocence is celebrated and cherished. As a parent, I dread my kids losing their unspoilt view of the world.
They ask questions. A constant stream of whys, hows and wherefores bombard me daily. Eventually, they will start to answer their own questions, using their natural abilities and curiosity, and my role will become redundant. Some days, it's irritating, the expectation that I'm a walking encyclopaedia with a boundless memory for peculiar facts. Contrary to their view that I know everything there is to know, I don't and sometimes (with my eldest, more often not these days) I can't answer their questions. They look astounded. Well, they used to, now they roll their eyes and fire up the internet. See, I'm already losing my usefulness.
So what has this to do with inspiration? My point is it is okay to be ignorant, to let go of knowledge and lose it. The void of ignorance it creates isn't useless. Imagine you're a child again, not your childhood, but the state of innocence. For many years I had very little contact with kids, none of my friends or family had young children, so having my own was a delightful reawakening, seeing things through the eyes of a child is an education – it's a wonderful playground, because all those adult boundaries, rules and processes can be stripped away and innocence means anything is possible.
Why not pretend you're a child and write a story from their perspective.
Harper Lee – To Kill a Mockingbird.
I love to write as a child as I've demonstrated a couple of time this month. As for physics, I don't have sufficient storage for what really need to remember let alone bunging laws and formulas in!


Mississippi, 1955: fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was murdered by a white mob after making flirtatious remarks to a white woman, Carolyn Bryant. Till's attackers were never convicted, but his lynching became one of the most notorious hate crimes in American history. It launched protests across the country, helped the NAACP gain thousands of members, and inspired famous activists like Rosa Parks to stand up and fight for equal rights for the first time. Part detective story, part political history, Tyson revises the history of the Till case, using a wide range of new sources, including the only interview ever given by Carolyn Bryant. In a time where discussions of race are once again coming to the fore, Tyson redefines this crucial moment in civil rights history.

AK79 (FLYING NUN)
December 2019 marks the 40 year anniversary of an important record in our lives, AK79. Within the grooves of this historical landmark compilation lies a connection to our musical whakapapa as New Zealanders and music lovers.
A defining record, having captured a raw snapshot of the punk subculture in Auckland during the late 70s, this much-loved compilation is a living, breathing statement of what came before today.
To mark this very special occassion, Flying Nun Records pays tribute to those ragged and rambunctious years by presenting AK79 40th Anniversary Edition Reissue, an iconic cornerstone of alternative kiwi rock history with this special anniversary edition.
Featuring new liner notes written by Ripper Records' Bryan Staff, the 2019 reissue will feature all songs ever featured on any version of AK79 for a complete look at its recorded history.
About AK79 Raw, unfiltered, shambolic madness. The vision to capture the Auckland scene began with Bryan Staff (Head of Ripper Records and Radio DJ at the time) who saw reason to capture the music coming out of the local punk venues of the time such as Windsor Castle and Zwines.
Originally released by Ripper Records in December 1979, bands that featured on the original pressing included The Swingers, The Scavengers, The Primmers, Proud Scum, Toy Love and The Terrorways.
The musical movement captured on record was an abrasive, empowered response to the overindulgent progressive rock and glam era of the 70s.
The initial pressing, with its iconic black and white cover designed by Terence Hogan was limited to 500 copies, to be later reissued on vinyl and cassette through CBS.
During the 40 years since AK79's first release, the record took on a life of its own. Those original 500 pressings became a rare and coveted collectors item, and somewhat of an "urban myth" on the vinyl market.
So the story goes, when the original master recordings of AK79 were discarded in 1982, it only created further demand for this enigmatic record.
Responding to the call, an expanded version of AK79 arose, released on CD by Simon Grigg and Roger Shepherd as a joint release by Propeller Records and Flying Nun Records in 1993.
This time there were some late additions, including tracks from The Suburban Reptiles, The Spelling Mistakes, The Features and The Marching Girls, along with additional tracks from the original bands on the first pressing.
This particular reissue was remastered and mixed by Grigg, and came bundled with additional liner notes by Grigg, Staff and The Terrorways' own Kerry Buchanan.
In November 2008, a bootlegged 2 LP version would come to life for a very special reunion gig in Auckland which involved The Scavengers, The Spelling Mistakes and the first performances from The Terrorways and Proud Scum since 1980 in a rare event.
At the time, it was sold at the show with unreleased tracks and a 20- page booklet. Six years later, the AK79 compilation was honoured in its many forms with the IMNZ Classic Record award, presented at the Taite Music Prize ceremony.
40 years on, the spirit of the AK79 still packs a punch and the feeling captured in these recordings are as relevant as ever.

Upper Loire Visit - Easter 2003
It has become a habit for the Dulwich Wine Society to have an April excursion to the vineyards of France, but who knows for how much longer. The same team has now organised five such visits, and is running out of areas within an easy drive of the Channel Ports. The custom has been for members to drive to a base hotel and then to use a locally hired coach for three days of visits. This year our destination was the Upper Loire – or as some would have it – Loire Centre. Twenty-seven members and partners headed for Sancerre and the Hotel Panoramic, a fairly large, modern hotel which makes up for any lack of character by having breathtaking views and efficient, comfortable rooms.
This year was a change insofar as the visit was from Saturday to Wednesday rather than the customary Wednesday to Saturday; a change brought about by a late Easter. Early on the Saturday evening there was an introductory reception, with an unusual méthode traditionelle Pouilly sur Loire. This was followed by a six course regional dinner, prepared by the chef-proprietor Monsieur Sivet. (All accompanied, of course by the wines of Sancerre.)
Sunday dawned bright and sunny and the first visit was just down the hill to St. Satur and the Domaine Mollet- Maudry. This estate has been revolutionised by an exceptional young winemaker, Florian Mollet. Unfortunately he was at an important wine fair near Paris, selling his wares, but we were given fine tank tasting and exposition of the differences between their wines from Sancerre vineyards and those from across the river in the Pouilly Fumé appellation, by Monsieur Mollet pére.
After this it was up the hill to Chavignol . The destination was the renowned Domaine Henri Bourgeois. We were greeted by Arnaud Bourgeois and his South African wife, and the company's Sommelier Christian, for a tasting of current and older wines in a very old cellar. This was probably the most impressive tasting of the tour.
Usually on these trips people are left to their own devices to find lunch, often a snack, but, because it was Sunday, it had been decided to have an organised lunch, and this was a memorable buffet at the top of the extremely modern Bourgeois winery. After this we were given a tour. The family have dug into the hillside to construct an enormous state of the art winery, with gravity and computers combining to do the hard work which complements the winemaker's (and winegrower's) skill.
The Monday was cloudy but warm, and the coach journey was long. The morning visit was to Domaine Claude Lafond at Reuilly. Monsieur Lafond is the president of the local winegrowers and has created an unusual co-operative on his land. A group of growers share the premises and the services of an oenologist but their wine is made, stored, bottled labelled and marketed individually. The visit and tasting were conducted by Monsieur Lafond's assistant, Corinne – who speaks English with a Lancashire accent and a salty vocabulary. The white and red Reuillys were well made but the unusual wine here was the "vin gris" a pale pink made from the Pinot Gris grape. A feature of the visit was the local "galettes de pomme de terre" which accompanied the tasting, leaving, for some, little room for lunch in Bourges.
The afternoon saw the party in Menetou Salon at the Domaine de Châtenoy where there was a very good tasting of Isabelle and Pierre Clément's wines. The family have been making wine in Menetou Salon for more than 400 years. In he nineteenth century Pierre Clément was one of the first people to treat vines against mildew and helped found the local winegrower's association. The present generation continues the tradition of innovation.
For the third day we had hot sunny weather, more appropriate for July. After breakfast it was across the river to Pouilly and the winery "Guy Saget". This is an old family business, but now with wineries and holdings in most parts of the Loire Valley. It is an enormous operation with millions of bottles in store The company is presided over by Jean-Louis Saget, a very astute businessman without losing his passion for his wines.The tasting was basically a tank tasting, illustrating the differing terroirs of the Pouilly Fumé appellation (and also the way that the chasselas grape can produce very good "Pouilly sur Loire" in the right hands.)
Last year in Alsace the society visited a very small family firm followed by a gigantic cooperative : this year he reverse happened. After Guy Saget's huge winery – and lunch and sightseeing in La Charité sur Loire – the next stop was at "Les Caves des Hauts de Seyr" a tiny co-operative making Le Montaillant, vins de pays des Coteaux Charitois. A handful of growers got together and built a tiny winery at Chassnay which is run by a winemaker and an assistant. The Chardonnays produced there have won gold medals in the Chardonnay Mondial for several years, and other awards both locally and in Paris. Alas the winemaker had been called away to the vineyards, but his young lady assistant made everyone welcome. After a brief visit and some photographs the coach left for the village of Les Loges.
Unfortunately the driver headed for one some ten miles away from our real destination, the home of Pierre Marchand. The small detour made little difference and the group only arrived in this ancient wine village only about fifteen minutes late to be greeted by the engaging Pierre Marchand and his brother, who make extremely good Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire in their small premises – with not a stainless steel tank in sight. Monsieur Marchand gave his explanation and conducted the tasting in French so clear that translation was scarcely necessary.
And so to the final dinner at the excellent Restaurant "La Tour" in Sancerre. An imaginative, elegant and superbly cooked menu complemented by wines from Henri Bourgeois made a memorable end to the tour.


Life is hard for a perfectionist, and it only gets harder if it keeps itself up.
There is such little room for a perfectionist to mess up, and college is full of mess ups. That's why no one should expect themselves to keep entertaining the thought of perfection past high school. You can always chase it and never reach it, or you can work as hard as you can and get exactly where you want to be.
I was a perfectionist my entire life.
People always criticized me for it and said it would come back to bite me later. Of course, I never believed them because it worked out in my favor. I was getting where I needed to be and all the self-discipline is what I assumed got me there. Fast-forwarding to the present, they were right. It did come back to bite me. Actually, it is biting me.
I was setting myself up for failure all that time and I ignored it. I was only after perfection up until college because it wasn't that hard to obtain. I didn't have to study and I had time for my friends. But then things got harder out of nowhere and I was not prepared at all to shift the standards I had for myself.
As a perfectionist, I constantly compared myself to other people and made sure I was doing better than the next guy, or at least just as well. That didn't work for long. I stopped competing with others because I learned that no one is worth beating if they aren't even chasing the same goal. And that helped me learn to quit competing against myself, too, because we're on the same team.
Freshman year of college, I almost pulled it off. The perfectionist in me nearly won. Then I started reasoning with myself and I figured out I had limits to what I could handle and I stopped pushing myself past them.
There are sacrifices that have to be made in reaching success.
College is like the triangle you can only pick two things from. On it might be grades, free time, and work, and you have to give up free time to have a job and good grades. A perfectionist will try so hard to get all three, and they may be able to at first. But it catches up with you.
Then there are other times where you're lucky to get one piece of the triangle. It's a game of going back and forth and testing patience in the pursuit of greatness.
I may end up with an "A" in a class because I only studied for that one exam, and in return, I might fail a quiz that same week. It would have bothered me to not evenly distribute my time and to not do perfectly on all of it, but it's actually OK. And the job that may take up way too much of my time will look really good on my resume and the time I didn't have to enjoy myself won't matter later.
And as bad as they seem at one particular moment, sacrifices are worth it in the end. Some things just carry more weight than others and the further I've gotten, the more I've figured it out. And I just try to remember that when I reach the point where I've gotten exactly where I wanted to be, no one is going to ever know what I had to give up to get there. And there's even a chance I won't remember either.
As long as I'm actually trying as hard as I can and I learn from every hiccup and mistake, things will work out the way they should.


Northwestern Health Sciences University will launch The Center for Sports and Rehab, a subspecialty clinic practice focusing on sports injuries and rehabilitation. Dr. Travis McCathie, a chiropractic physician and athletic trainer in the Bloomington Health Clinic, will lead the Center.
Dr. McCathie is developing a multidisciplinary clinic in which a team of providers collaborates on patient care. Providers may include chiropractors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, nutritionists and others. The Center will have a clinical component, as well as an outreach and research component.
One of the first steps is recruiting a physical therapist, and helping to build that practice to capacity within one year. That pattern would be replicated, adding a chiropractor then a second physical therapist and helping to build their practices.
He currently works with all the pro runners and many elite runners in Minnesota. He focuses on hips and lower extremity concerns, leaving plenty of opportunity for the Center to add sub-specialties in upper extremity, shoulders, neck and wrist.

I know it probably feels like oily skin is the worst. But do you know what the silver lining is? You don't age as fast as your peers with dry skin do. Skin remains youthful, thanks to all the natural oil spilling through our sebaceous glands. Sure, it's not pretty when someone points it out. So here's a couple of quick tips to keep your grease (and your makeup) in check this summer!
Yeah, yeah. I know. You see a hint of shine and you want to wash it off. But the truth is, you're causing more harm than good. You're stripping your skin of natural oils, thereby tipping the balance. Leading to more oil production, and more slick on the face.
Twice a day is more than enough. And focus on using gel or foam washes – they're gentler. BUT don't not wash your face if you've had makeup on. Only a wipe won't do.
It's a scary ordeal, I'll give you that. But moisturizing won't lead to your glands going into overdrive because there won't be dry skin causing it. So, keep everything hydrated to save yourself from drowning in oil. Look for oil free moisturisers, and let it sit for a bit before you dive into makeup.
Our picks – Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel.
Sad, but true. Both alcohol and dairy will cause skin issues.
Dairy tends to increase all the hormone levels in the body, thereby causing an excess sebum and oil production. Have an occasional icecream, but don't overdo it.
Alcohol however, causes your body's heat index to rise, increasing your temperature and the amount you sweat. In turn, this can lead to clogged pores, excess oil, and eventually, breakouts. Work hard, party harder? I don't think so, mate.
You probably already know this one, but I'm putting it out there just in case you didn't. You don't have to put it all over, just areas where you tend to oil up a lot more.
Our picks – L'Oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer, Make Up For Ever Step 1.
If you're ever out and feeling oily, DON'T put powder on top. Blot with a tissue or a blotting paper first, and then dust a little powder. Otherwise, you're going to be cake city central.
Try the Dromen & Co Green Tea Blotting Paper, Palladio Rice Paper.
Baking is a sure way of keeping your skin matte all day long. A step further is Jamsu. A K beauty trend, Jamsu means submerging, which is exactly what you will be doing.
Without doing your eye makeup, perfect your base – foundation, concealer, any cream contour. Using a puff or a blender, dunk your face in powder. Avoid using a coloured powder, use a translucent one instead. Add cold water into a big bowl and submerge your face in the water.
15 seconds for dry skin, 30 seconds for oily skin.
GENTLY pat your face dry. Dust off any excess. Bring the colour back into your life – bronze, blush and go about your day.
Clay masks help draw impurities out from the skin. So once a week, give yourself a little more TLC and make it a mask night.
GlamGlow Super Mud Clearing Treatment and L'Oreal Clay Masks are our faves.
A LOT of makeup artists believe in the power of an antacid to keep their clients looking their best. However, don't use this on a regular basis.
To use, apply moisturizer and then with a cotton pad, blot the Milk of Magnesia onto your skin and gently rub it in (use sparingly). Leave it for a few minutes for it to dry and then apply your foundation as usual.

Man Awarded $2.3M for Drunken Subway Fall
Published February 18, 2009 • Updated on February 18, 2009 at 5:07 pm
A Brooklyn man who was drunk when he fell into the path of a subway train and lost part of his leg has been awarded $2.3 million by a jury.
Dustin Dibble has admitted that he was so drunk he doesn't even remember the incident at the Union Square subway station in April of 2006.
But Dibble's lawyer argued in court that the motorman had time to stop the train when he saw the 25-year-old lying on the tracks 180 feet away - and the jury agreed, assigning most of the blame to New York City Transit.
A spokesman for New York City Transit said lawyers are reviewing the verdict.

CTV cuts 105 jobs in Toronto
CTV is cutting about 105 positions, including at least three on-air news personnel, as part of a previously announced plan to tighten its operations to cope with a slumping economy.
By David FriendTHE CANADIAN PRESS
Thu., Nov. 27, 2008timer3 min. read
The changes primarily affect the broadcaster's "music and youth" channels MuchMusic, MuchMoreMusic and MTV Canada, although the CTV news division would also lose some employees, CTV spokeswoman Bonnie Brownlee said today.
"Virtually all of these positions are here in Toronto," Brownlee said.
News anchor Tim Weber and entertainment reporter Jacintha Wesselingh, both of CTV, are included in the layoffs as well as Kate Wheeler of CTV NewsNet, a specialty cable channel.
Other departments facing cuts include the Star! channel, the entertainment program ETalk, and CTV's communications and special events divisions.
Parent company CTVglobemedia has about 6,500 employees across all of its divisions, which include The Globe and Mail newspaper and CHUM Radio, one of Canada's largest radio broadcasters.
Brownlee declined to estimate how many people are in the broadcasting division.
Earlier this month, CTVglobemedia president and CEO Ivan Fecan sent a letter to employees warning that falling advertising revenues would force the company to lay off workers and freeze hiring.
The note was followed by a town hall meeting in Toronto with employees last week.
"Ivan asked department heads to go back and look through their areas and look for efficiencies. That's what most of this is," Brownlee said.
However, layoffs in the music and youth division were in the works even before that period, and are part of a year-long ``integration process" which started after CTVglobemedia acquired MuchMusic as part of the $1.7-billion purchase of CHUM Ltd. in 2007, Brownlee said.
Dawn Fell, CTV's human resources executive vice-president, issued a statement saying that the company will not lay off any more employees this year.
The latest move to cut jobs at CTV looks suspiciously like the company is using the struggling economy as an rationalization for tightening operations after the CHUM acquisition, , suggested Peter Murdoch of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union.
He said the job cuts should be coupled with a promise to bring back staff members when the economy starts to pick up again.
"Media corporations and others should have firm obligations to their employees that if they are victims when times are tough, they will be sharing in the opportunities when times improve," he wrote in a release.
"Without these commitments, we are into the old loop of shareholder priority at the cost of a fully-engaged workforce. That model is now in tatters."
Broadcast rival Canwest Global Communications Corp. (TSX: CGS) recently cut 560 jobs, or about five per cent of its workforce, including 210 at Global Television and its other TV operations.
Conventional TV broadcasters have been squeezed by the loss of advertising revenue linked to the slumping economy, rising competition from specialty channels and competition for advertisers from Internet services.
The industry was also been hurt by last month's federal regulatory decision rejecting the request of broadcasters such as CTV, CBC and Global to let them charge cable and satellite distributors for carrying their channels.
The CRTC said conventional networks had failed to prove they have enough economic need for the higher revenues, which would have been worth about $300 million year to the big broadcasters.
CTVglobemedia is owned 40 per cent by the Thomson family's privately held Woodbridge Co., 25 per cent by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, 20 per cent by Torstar Corp. (TSX: TS.B) and 15 per cent by BCE Inc. (TSX: BCE).

Coach Randy Carlyle gets contract extension from Ducks
Anaheim Ducks' head coach Randy Carlyle has received a one-year contract extension (Photo by Kevin Sullivan/SCNG, file)
By The Pasadena Star-News | pasadenastarnews@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: June 2, 2017 at 9:49 p.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 1:17 a.m.
ANAHEIM >> Successful performance can yield rewards, and the extra benefit for Ducks coach Randy Carlyle came Friday when his contract was extended for another year.
Carlyle is now under contract through the 2018-19 season with an option for 2019-2020. His original deal when he was brought back to coach the franchise a second time was for two seasons with an option year.
Another year was triggered when the Ducks advanced to the Western Conference finals with Carlyle, 61, back behind the bench. The Ducks also went 46-23-13 during the regular season and won their fifth consecutive Pacific Division title.
"We made great strides this past season and clearly Randy was at the center of that," Ducks general manager Bob Murray said in a statement. "He's committed to this organization and to winning another Stanley Cup. Extending his contract was an easy decision for us."
Carlyle, whose 319 regular-season wins with the Ducks over two stints are the most in franchise history, said he had agreed to the performance-based criteria in his contract when he took the job last June.
"It was a very comfortable situation from a standpoint where I knew everybody," Carlyle said. "I knew what the expectations were. All those things. And then it was basically up to us to kind of accomplish a few things."
Carlyle said he's had recent discussions with Murray on filling the one vacancy on the coaching staff after Paul MacLean and the club mutually parted ways. MacLean, a former head coach with Ottawa, had been with the Ducks the last two seasons.
"It's always about what we think the need is," Carlyle said. "That's really something that goes on a regular basis. We will evaluate the people that are available and hopefully we can find somebody that fits the criteria on which we think can be a benefit to our hockey club and to the coaching staff.
"The number one thing is we have to find somebody, a guy that – as all of us have to do – relates to our players. And it's not to say that Paul MacLean did not do that. That would be an incorrect statement."
MacLean, 59, ran the Ducks' power play that sagged to 17th this season and struggled in the playoffs after ranking first in that department during 2015-16, his first season. Carlyle said a direct line between those struggles and the mutual separation shouldn't be drawn.
"He's at a juncture in his career that he's looking at different things going forward," Carlyle said. "He wants to be a coach in the NHL somewhere along the line. Good for him. He's a personal friend of mine and I played with him.
"Again, all organizations evolve and there's usually a lot of things that take place. People are looking at different situations. … Now we'll try to fill the void with the best qualified person we see fit."
Two former Carlyle lieutenants are available in Newell Brown and Dave Farrish, who both served as the lead assistants on the 2007 Stanley Cup team. Brown, 55, was fired by Arizona in late April but may soon be off the market as he could be closing in on a return to Vancouver, where he coached from 2010-13.
Assistant coaches Trent Yawney and Rich Preston will return in their roles, while Todd Marchant will go back to his primary role as director of player development. Goalie coach Sudarshan Maharaj remains under contract and Carlyle said he also will return for a second season in that role.

Q: How does Wordpress qTranslate work with JavaScript? I use the plugin qTranslate in WordPress to change to the language of the website. Now, I have a form with some input fields. Each input has validation of the input data through Javascript. When there's an error, of course, the message will show. By the default, my language is English. Now I want to add Japanese.
For example:
"Your field is required" <= English

"ここはデータが欲しいです" <= Japanese

The validation messages are controlled by Javascript. I tried [en:] and [ja:] or <--!en:--> and <--!ja:--> but was not successful.
So my question is: How can I control the language in Javascript with the qTranslate plugin?
Thank all!
Update:
I found the way to get the language in Javascript. When we change the language, the HTML tag will change the attribute lang="en" to lang="ja". Basically, I used:
    document.documentElement.lang=="en-US"

That will get the current language and your job is put it in the if condition.
    if(document.documentElement.lang=="en-US"){}

Hope it helps. Thanks all for reviewing it.

Delaware's artificial reef program
dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/fish-wildlife/fishing/artificial-reefs/.
Delaware has 14 permitted artificial reef sites in Delaware Bay and along the Atlantic Coast. Development of these sites began in 1995 and has aggressively continued into the present with new reef structure added as quickly as the artificial reef program can get its collective claws around suitable material. This includes anything old and afloat that will sink after it's been cleaned up environmentally for reefing, and anything cleanly discarded that can be resurrected as reef material once it goes down to the ocean floor. In short, the Delaware Reef Program is one part of a comprehensive fisheries management effort and is designed to enhance fisheries habitat, benefit structure-oriented fish and provide fishing opportunities for anglers. Over the long haul, artificial reefs are seen as a salvation for depleted or endangered fisheries.
Artificial reef construction is especially important in the Mid-Atlantic region, where near shore bottom is usually featureless sand or mud. We have neither the natural rocky outcrops common in New England or the coral reefs of our Southeastern Atlantic Coast.
Durable, stable, non-toxic reef materials can develop an invertebrate community which is hundreds of times richer than adjacent bottom, providing food and physical protection for reef fish such as tautog, seabass, scup, spadefish and triggerfish. In addition, gamefish such as bluefish, striped bass and weakfish are attracted to baitfish, which congregate around reef structure.

Tugs sunk as newest Redbird Reef habitat
Delaware Artificial Reef Plan (revised and updated 2012)
Recycled materials have supported reef development efforts to date. Donated concrete culvert pipe and other concrete products are the primary material used at the eight Delaware Bay sites. Ballasted tire units have been deployed at the three ocean sites. The tugboat "Golden Eagle" has been sunk in the lower bay and the tug "Margaret" (photo above and, just before its sinking, below) was the latest vessel of her kind to join the artificial reef when sunk in 2006.
Through the year 2000, 24,500 tons of concrete products, 8,000 tons of ballasted tire units and 86 decommissioned military vehicles had been deployed on Delaware sites. During 1999 two small vessels ("P3" and "Dolphin") were deployed on site number seven and the commercial tug "Delilah" was sunk on site number 11.
Subsequently, hundreds of New York City subway cars have bolstered and expanded Delaware's artificial reefs, namely the renowned Redbird Reef.
The Redbird Reef site, begun in 1996, takes its name from the "Redbird" paint-schemed subway cars donated in 2001 by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. To build the Redbird Reef, 619 of the obsolete subway cars were sunk, each of them 51 feet long by nine wide, making a substantial bottom structure for an artificial reef.
They went to the bottom of the ocean just in time, too – for, as a recent article in The New York Times pointed out, Delaware got that bounty of subway cars after other states rejected their use as as artificial reef material. Now, with Delaware's success in establishing "luxury condominiums for fish," according to reef program manager Jeff Tinsman, other states are tenaciously competing for the old cars. For example, New Jersey, which was among the opponents of placing them on the ocean floor, now has requested 600 subway cars from New York City.
But, as the Times' article pointed out, even while in line for more subway cars that may or may not make the trip to Delaware's Davey Jones' locker, the state continues to build on its reef program with other non-toxic materials and objects for reef structure. These include decommissioned ships of many kinds and Delaware will continue making use of whatever is safe for ocean placement that has proved to enhance aquatic and marine life.
The reef program uses DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) to accurately place materials on site. The site charts in the reef guide show where reef materials have been deployed from 1995 - 1999. Locations (latitude - longitude) noted for each site indicate the position of deployments of reef material from an anchored barge. In the case of large, concentrated reef deployments, a latitude or longitude range, may be given such as: N 39? 15.377'-402'. This indicates material occurs between 39 degrees, 15.377 to 15.402 minutes north latitude. Due to variability between DGPS receivers, slight variations in readings may occur. It is suggested you use your GPS and a good fathometer to locate reef structure, then note the coordinates on your own GPS.

Q: How do I work with a C++ program containing non-Latin characters? I have a C++ program that was written by a Russian-speaking developer and so it contains Cyrillic characters. When I open the sources they are displayed as garbage. How do I solve this in windows ?

A: The actual problem is your IDE/editor doesn't display Cyrillic characters correctly. You solve this by changing the IDE/editor settings to use a font that contains Cyrillic characters - for example, Courier New if you're on Windows.

A: Well, assuming they've actually used ISO C and not some weird Russian variant, the language constructs and standard library calls will be in English (or its strange cousin, American).
The only thing you'll really need to convert are the strings (such as for user output or logging), code comments and variable names.
And even the comments and variable names may not have to change. They may make the code harder to understand to a non-Russian reader however.
If the code contains characters that your current editor doesn't understand, well, you need to get yourself an editor that does. Or get your Russian friends to turn it into English for you.

A: Don't think that there is another C++ programming language in russia. So you just need to replace the strings to the other language, i.e. English. Care must be taken when processing input since here you can find handling of single characters.
A better approach would be to prepare a localization. You can read all strings from a ressource or file. In that case you can select the resource that matches you target language.

A: If you mean that the strings of the program are written in Russian and you want to add English texts, you need to first internationalize (i18n) your program, using instead of static strings a library like Gettext; then you need to add support for the English locale.
If you mean that the variables and the comments are in Russian and you want them in English, well.. find a translator ;)

A: Find a translator and give him the code.


Approved to drive means Byron has provided their driver's license number and passed the Turo driver screening process.
The car was great other than that it did not come perfectly clean, one of the USBs didn't work (but there are two), and the Bluetooth also did not work. The pickup was easy and the drop off was easy. Communication was good.

AR Experience Highlights The Struggles Of The Working Poor
by Bobby Carlton
Santander has created an AR app to help educate you on the hard truth about homelessness.
Here is some staggering and shocking data for you: 25% of the homeless population are actually hard-working people with full-time jobs. Sometimes known as the 'working poor', these individuals face the harsh reality of the rising cost of living all while their wage growth remains stagnant.
One of the strongest arguments for the use of AR and VR outside of gaming, is that it has the ability to be an empathy incubator, allowing users the opportunity to step into the shoes of another person. This could be someone of the opposite sex, a person with a disability, or someone with a different view than you. Through AR and VR, we finally have the ability to experience the world from various perspectives.
In an AR experience entitled "In Someone Else's Shoes", you get a glimpse of the life of 'Jen,' a 35-year-old full-time nurse's assistant. Because of the high cost of rent, Jen lives in her car. Each day presents a new challenge that threatens her teetering financial situation; just one parking ticket or smashed window and Jen could find herself at the breaking point.
The experience, created by Boston's Santander Bank alongside Arnold Worldwide, begins with a short film that introduces you to Jen as she wakes from another long night of sleeping in her car. From there the film switches over to AR giving you a new perspective in which to experience Jen's story.
As you watch Jen go about her routine — getting dressed for work, dealing with a car break-in, and returning to her car only to find a wheel clamp on it — you begin to understand the challenges she faces . Users can move around the car to inspect every detail of the scene, all while listening to Jen talk about her background, some of the rules she's learned from living on the streets in her car, and of course the stress of her desperate situation.
A short film from the "In Someone Else's Shoes" official website focuses on the real reactions from individuals participating in the AR experience. The responses are nothing short of heartbreaking as you see participants begin to empathize with Jen on an emotional level.
Janelle Brown, host of Tell Me Everything, a podcast that focuses on the fact that every individual has a unique story that defines them, downloaded Santander's "In Someone Else's Shoes" app and told VRScout, "It's an extremely unique and powerful opportunity for people to truly walk in other people's shoes," adding, "many times in real life, we are afforded the opportunity to walk on by those asking for help or those who are homeless because it makes us uncomfortable."
Though the AR experience uses an actor, the scenario is very real, and her story is one of many. "Visual has power," said Brown.
In hopes of making a change, Santander invited people throughout Boston to help the working homeless by using a pedometer app to track their steps. In return, Santander would donate $10 for every mile participants walked. An incredible 4,801 people participated in the event, raising an astonishing $200,000 for organizations such as Heading Home, a Boston based nonprofit that has been pioneering programs to end homelessness in the Boston area for four decades. In the end, the money was able to assist 200 people in need.
Since 2016, many organizations have turned to AR and VR as a way to expose people to new and different perspectives. For example, the United Nations used VR for Clouds Over Sidra, which resulted in an increase in funds to help refugees. Testimony, another very powerful VR experience, was used to tell the stories of sexual assault survivors and help other victims build the courage needed to step forward and tell their own stories. Most recently, the Red Cross used AR to show the harsh reality of war and its effect on children with Enter The Room.
During our conversation with Brown regarding AR and empathy, the podcast host is flooded with memories of a traumatic experience from her own life that involved the birth of her first child. Brown says, "My daughter's birth was traumatic – and there were some serious issues with her health." With doctors focused primarily on her newborn baby's health, Brown wasn't able to see her or hold her child for 3 excruciating days. While medical staff were busy with her daughter, Brown felt like an empty husk.
Brown discusses how when she tells the story of her daughter's birth to other mothers, she can tell who has experienced trauma of their own. "I can see them reliving the feelings they had when they had their traumatic birth." But what bothers Brown the most, and where she thinks AR could possibly help, is when someone who hasn't had this type of life-changing event nonchalantly responds with, "well, she's healthy now." To her, it feels like they are just sweeping her ordeal under the carpet as if it were no big deal. AR could assist them in better understanding the confusion and fear Brown faced.
"This all hits close to what we're talking about and you really don't know it until you live it," states Brown.
That is exactly what Santander hopes people will be thinking after their time with "In Someone Else's Shoes." Instead of sweeping the issue of homelessness under the carpet, they hope the AR experience will help deliver a fresh perspective, as well as new-found motivation to help make a change.

GardnerAircraft.com alone has nearly 2,000 visits a month!
This is exposure that is simply unattainable by an individual seller.
Your aircraft is put right in front of those who are looking for it!
"Why not run some ads and sell it myself?"
Though expensive and time consuming, placing the advertising is the easy part. Most sellers are unprepared for the hundreds of telephone calls, e-mails and faxes necessary to sell an aircraft.
Few owners have a realistic view of their aircraft's true market value, relative to the ever changing competition at any point in time. This price guidance is essential in determining whether or not an offer is acceptable and in making the sale versus constantly missing by a narrow margin.
Over 95% of retail aircraft disposals involve a brokerage commission. It makes sense to have a professional on board from the beginning instead of collecting a commission at the last minute.
Few owners are prepared to accept a trade-in aircraft. Most dealers and some brokers can facilitate the transaction by accepting a trade. If trade difference is too low to allow taking the trade aircraft into inventory, the broker probably has a list of buyers who can move quickly at a workable price.
An experienced broker knows the buyers and the perennial "tire-kickers". While he will treat all potential buyers with respect, he will insure that the tire-kicker is qualified properly before any demonstration in your aircraft.
Your exclusive broker will work with other dealers, brokers and acquisition agents. He will utilize registrations, if necessary, to sell your aircraft, rather than blocking your sale in favor of another aircraft or producing unnecessary commissions.
Brokering aircraft involves a different focus and a different set of skills than selling new aircraft. One example is the different attitude toward demonstration flights. The experienced broker works hard to limit the expense, disruption, and wear and tear of unnecessary demonstration flights on the seller's aircraft.
"Why not choose the broker who offers the lowest commission rate?"
It is only natural to try to control costs. However, the focus should be on the broker who will net the most out of the aircraft disposal in the proper time frame.
If an exclusive broker's commission rate is too low, he will skimp on advertising and other services. Worse, a few brokers advertise aircraft they have signed up at unrealistically low commissions, then direct the buyers to other non-exclusive aircraft for more profit or higher commissions. The exclusive broker needs to be strongly motivated to sell your aircraft.
"Why not choose the broker who thinks my aircraft is worth the most?"
The exclusive broker who "highballs" the value of your aircraft does you a grave disservice. Unfortunately, some do just that in order to get exclusive listings. They will either give a sad story later about the declining market, or your aircraft will languish while others sell.
Price guidance in an ever-changing market is an important part of what the commission buys. We will ensure your aircraft is priced right to maximize your return, while ensuring it is realistically priced to sell in the market.

Focus on a basic set of query and display capabilities sought by the majority of users when designing an Archived Data Management System (ADMS).
Lesson learned from Virginia's experience evaluating usage of a ADMS.
Transportation professionals have been exploring the uses of archived data from real-time operations such as traffic control and toll collection to support offline activities such as operations planning, long-range planning, and performance measurement. A systematic approach to the use of archived data is fully defined in the Archived Data User Service (ADUS) within the National ITS Architecture. The actual deployment of an ADUS is called an Archived Data Management System (ADMS).
The Commonwealth of Virginia conducted a federally sponsored field operational test to develop a first generation ADMS. The resulting product, ADMS Virginia, is a web-based software application to support archived traffic data retrieval and access to a suite of decision support tools built upon the already established traffic data archive created and maintained at the Virginia Smart Travel Laboratory. The Smart Travel Laboratory (STL), a joint facility of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and University of Virginia (UVA), is the official archive for all ITS data in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The team used a spiral development approach, as opposed to the waterfall approach more commonly used in transportation applications, to allow users to see and work with a number of intermediate products, providing several opportunities for substantive input. Key stakeholders were identified during the proposal stage, and were included in making all major decisions throughout the project. The users were also presented with quick prototypes before the start of each of the four builds, to provide feedback based on their reactions. After the release of each build, users were surveyed to get specific post-deployment feedback. As of July 1, 2005, there were a total of 164 ADMS Virginia users representing 61 different organizations.
Based on a quantitative analysis of users and uses of the system, as well as user feedback, the following lessons were learned:
Don't overspecialize early in a system's life. Usage trends of ADMS Virginia made it clear that most users wanted access to basic data query and display capabilities. Eighty percent of the use of the system was devoted to downloading data and creating simple plots and/or maps based on this data. Specialized services that took considerable design and development effort were lightly used.
Anticipate a wide range of users. Demand for traffic data is great, and comes from a diverse group of people, including the research community. Allowing for wide access will minimize time spent allowing "special" access for groups that were not originally expected to use the system.
Avoid spiral development as it creates the risk of establishing system usage patterns prematurely. Experience in ADMS Virginia showed that users tend to stick with usage patterns early, even failing to utilize design requested improvements in later builds. For example, mapping services were added in Build 4. The user group that received this build as their first interaction with the system tended to use this feature more than the group that had this feature added to the system they were already familiar with.
The lessons learned during the ADMS Virginia development effort are of value to individuals seeking to create an Archived Data User Service (ADUS) as defined within the National ITS Architecture, to those seeking to make use of archived ITS data, and to those involved with creating more general classes of new information technology systems for transportation applications.

Q: SP Online REST API Durable Document Link My google searches have all led to dead ends.
Is there a way to retrieve the durable link code for a document using the REST API?
When you copy a link in the GUI, it takes the form of:-
https://mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/mylibrary/myDocSet?d=w9570bf1d91a541679abbf03996bbbff7

I would like to know how to retrieve the d=.... part, using the SharePoint REST API, given I have the ID of the library item (e.g 847) and the library location details etc.

A: It is present in the LinkingUrl property of the file in a document library.
So, to get that value, you need to modify the endpoint as below:
https://mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('mylibrary')/items(847)
?$select=File/LinkingUrl&$expand=File

ASHEVILLE — A juvenile has been charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder in connection with the May 8 shooting that resulted in the deaths of Javon Malik Brown, 23, of Asheville and Deonte James Ellison, 19, of Arden, Asheville police said in a statement Monday.
Citing state law, Asheville Police Department said it could not release any "identifying information" about juveniles, who are defined by North Carolina as individuals under 18 years of age. The charge is a felony.
According to law codes, to be charged as an accessory after-the-fact means an individual allegedly assisted someone who committed a crime after the crime was committed. An individual charged with accessory after-the-fact also allegedly knew the person they were helping had committed a crime and intentionally helped the person avoid punishment or arrest.
According to APD, Brown and Ellison were shot while in a vehicle in the parking lot of Wendy's restaurant on Merrimon Avenue.
Brown, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was found in a vehicle at the scene of the shooting. He died there, according to police.
About a mile away, at the intersection of Merrimon Avenue and Chestnut Street, police found another vehicle that had struck a fixed object, according to the police report.
Ellison was inside that car and was seriously injured. He was transported to Mission Hospital and died shortly after arriving, police said.
Two people believed to have fled the scene of the crash are still being sought by the APD. Police say they have identified two persons of interest in this case, but have yet to name them.
In a May 18 statement, APD spokeswoman Christina Hallingse wrote the department "is still actively investigating this case and working multiple leads."

What is the reason of the engine link breakage?
Small engine suddenly issued a "bang" sound in the work, and then automatically shut down.When starting again,Found that no compression .
Open the crankcase cover to see: the connecting rod is broken.
In the face of a small engine engine breakage, we often have a lot of doubts. How could this happen? What is the cause of the break?
A lot of research and maintenance experience shows that we can find the answer to the problem by looking at the fracture of the connecting rod and the state of the engine after the break.
In the case of overspeed, the connecting rod is often broken at the weakest part (ie about 2.5 cm from the piston pin). Usually we will see the connecting rod broken into many sections. Speed crank and speed gear can also help us make speeding judgments: such as the speed of the crank clamping bolt is loose, speed gear is off or damaged.
The design speed of a small four-stroke general engine is no more than 4000 rpm. At 4000 rpm, the load on the engine components is within acceptable limits. These loads increase significantly when the engine is overspeed. Each time the speed increases by 500 rpm, the force at both ends of the connecting rod will increase by 44%.
1.each engine before leaving the factory,have set the maximum speed.
2.can not arbitrarily increase the maximum speed of the engine.
3.if you find the engine speed (measured by the tachometer, or hear screams), should immediately let the engine flame and sent to the dealer to check, re-adjust the speed.
The small engine runs fast and has an internal temperature of 400 ° C to 600 ° C. In such a bad condition, there must be a qualified oil in the aluminum link and crankshaft joint surface to form an oil film (for its cooling and lubrication), in order to prevent the prevention of metal transfer.
Otherwise, the failure of the oil or hydraulic oil caused by the joint surface dry friction will make the junction surface temperature is extremely high, resulting in metal transfer, eventually leading to the rod head fracture.
How to prevent poor engine lubrication?
1.Regular inspection of the oil level, when the oil shortage, the amount of additional oil, to prevent the engine oil shortage work.
2.Also, replace the engine oil regularly: Replace the oil every 50 hours. Long-term use of oil has lost its lubrication. Should be fully released and add new oil (Note: 10W-40 SJ grade oil can be used in most of the temperature).
4.In short, the engine state after the breakage of the rod can tell us why the break is broken. Poor lubrication and speeding are the most common causes. Other possible causes are: connecting rod bolts loose will lead to breakage.
5.For the engine users, usually on time to maintain the engine and not tamper with the maximum engine speed, to prevent damage to the engine has important significance.


This bit of roadside architecture is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. SHPO back in the day listed a National Register Multiple Property Nomination for US Hwy 2 but much work remains done. The heritage development potential of these pre-chain lodging places is considerable. The dedicated heritage tourist often prefers these well located motels– this one leaves you in easy walking distance to Ennis Cafe (a classic in itself), shops, and bars–and price is no where near the more famous lodges in the vicinity. Certainly heritage tourists prefer them to the chains that have multiplied across the state.


The last time I wore these amazing ruffle pumps was when was I was on Homecoming Court my senior year of high school. They hurt so bad after an evening of parading and walking around during the football game that I literally couldn't walk the next day. But you know what? It was so worth it.
Also, I am absolutely in looooove with this emerald top from Pure Lux Boutique! Emerald is my birthstone so I've always had a certain liking for the color. And this top is super comfy and extremely reasonably priced. Plus the crochet detail on the back is to die for. Check out Pure Lux's site to see more amazing and affordable pieces!
Exhausted From: Playing with the camp kids all morning. More on that to come.
Looking Forward To: Going to the gym tonight. I'm weird I know but it's when I get to watch trashy TV (like Fashion Police and KUWTK). Plus I feel better about myself after going there.
You hair looks amazing. The color of that top is so vivid!
