"a superb CD that I cannot recommend enough."
(translated from French)
"A San Francisco quintet who can write songs that sound straight out of the repertoire of 1950s Hillbilly Bop old-timers like Carl Smith, who seem to have influenced them. The five pals allow themselves only two covers, Gene O'Quin's Texas Boogie & Carl Smith's Back Up Buddy. With Carl Sunny Leyland's piano on four songs, their Hillbilly Bop (Ink Free Baby of Mine, Walking Home Alone, Broken Down and Blue) turns to Hillbilly Boogie (Drunk on Whiskey), even medium-tempo rock 'n' roll (Pretty Baby). If you add the Country Swing of Duckin' & Dodgin', a touch of Bakersfield (Women and Wine, Sweet Little Things), and a plaintive hillbilly ballad that would not be out of place on a Hank Williams album, you get a superb CD that I cannot recommend enough."
-Bernard Boyat, Le Cri du Coyote n°127 (March 2012) page 28

Brookhaven Lab is home to the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, that began operating in 2014 and is 10,000 times brighter than the original NSLS. Currently, 28 beamlines are in operation or commissioning and one beamline is under construction, and there is space to accommodate an additional 30 beamlines. NSLS-II is expected to generate tens of petabytes of data (one petabyte is equivalent to a stack of CDs standing nearly 10,000 feet tall) per year in the next decade.
The amount of data that need to be archived and retrieved from tape storage has significantly increased over the past decade, as seen in the above graph. "Hot" storage refers to storing data that are frequently accessed, while "cold" storage refers to storing data that are rarely used.

Grass /turf pavers start on with a grid-like formation, sometimes referred to as a 'honeycomb' system.
Once this grid is set up, topsoil, sand and gravel are added inside the grid.
This helps to prevent the turf or grass from settling and collapsing from beneath itself, whilst still encouraging filtration.
The subsequently step is for the planting of the plant life within the grid system. The ending product is a grass or turf covered pavement structure. The grid system keeps the grass roots and reduces storm water runoff, resulting in a very durable grass pavement.

Good morning! How are your witch hunts faring today?
No, Donald. You wouldn't. When he said that, my very first thought was Trump's reaction at a rally to what he thought was a danger.
The Washington Post recounted a few other times in which Trump didn't exactly respond to startling situations with bravery, including that time at Mar-a-Lago when a man fell and he turned away at the sight of blood. "Disgusting," he said. And he's going to run toward a guy shooting 100 bullets a minute?
Also, Trump ain't running anywhere, a point that former Obama White House photographer Pete Souza not-to-subtly made yesterday on Instagram.
He said that while officials did make mistakes, there were no major controversies.
"I know that seems like a low bar," Obama added, in an apparent jab to the scandals surrounding President Trump's administration.
"Generally speaking, you didn't hear about a lot of drama inside our White House," he said.
But as Deadspin notes, the only somewhat controversial thing that Obama said during that speech was a slight dig at the NCAA.
Trump looks like he should be surrounded by dogs playing poker on the field.
He just looks like a scared old man, lost in Wal-Mart.
God, I miss those guys.

Sam Snead's Lely
Samuel Jackson "Sam" Snead (May 27, 1912 – May 23, 2002) was an American golfer who was one of the top players in the world for most of 4 decades. He and two others of the greatest golfers of all time, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, were born within 6 months of each other in 1912. He won a record 82 PGA Tour events and about 70 others worldwide. He won seven majors: three Masters, three PGA Championships and one British Open. In spite of his great achievements, his reputation has always been slightly tainted by his failure to win a U.S. Open.
Snead was famed for his folksy image, wearing a straw hat and playing tournaments barefoot, and making such statements as "Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt." His nickname was "Slammin' Sammy." He has also been admired by many for having the so-called "perfect swing," and generated many imitators. Snead was born in Ashwood, Virginia near Hot Springs, Virginia. At the age of seven he began caddying at The Homestead in Hot Springs; he worked as an assistant pro at The Homestead at 19, and became a professional in 1934. Amazingly, the US Open always eluded him – he finished second four times between 1937 and 1949.
The world caught its first glimpse of Snead's magic stroke at Hershey in 1936. He hit the first green 345 yards away and eventually managed to finish fifth. Desperately short of cash, a good finish at his fourth official event at Oakland earned him US $1,200.
In 1979, he became the first player to score below his age; he shot 67 and 66 in the Quad Cities Open at the age of 67. Other notable achievements include victories in the US Masters in 1949, 1952 and 1954, plus the US PGA titles in 1942, 1949 and 1951. Eight times on the Ryder Cup squad, once as non-playing captain, Snead's involvement in golf has been a lengthy one. Two years after retiring from the Tour in 1979, he was actively involved in the creation of the Seniors' Tour.
A consistent competitor, Snead will be remembered for the sheer magnitude of his victories and his swing will continue to be recalled with awe and envy. Snead maintained ties to Hot Springs and The Homestead for all of his life; he died in Hot Springs following complications from a stroke four days short of his 90th birthday. He was survived by two sons, Sam Jr., of Hot Springs, Virginia and Terry, of Mountain Grove, Virginia; a brother, Pete, of Pittsburgh; and two grandchildren. His wife, Audrey, died in 1990. His nephew J. C. Snead was also a PGA Tour golfer.
Snead won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

a Roman Catholic prelate, was born in London, February 21, 1801. He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, graduating in 1820. In 1822 he was made fellow of Oriel College; in 1825 vice-principal of St. Alban's Hall; in 1826 tutor of his college, which post he held until 1831; in 1828 he became incumbent of St. Mary's, Oxford, with the chaplaincv of Littlemore, but resigned St. Mary's in 1843. In 1842 he established at Littlemore an ascetic comminute modelled after those of mediaeval times, over which he presided for three years. He joined Dr. Pilsey as the recognized leader of the High-Church party, and took a prominent part in the Tractarian controversy, contributing the final tract, No. 90. In October 1845, he seceded from the Established Church, and was received into the Roman Catholic communion. After being ordained priest, he was appointed head of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Birmingham. In 1854 he was appointed rector of the newly founded University of Dublin, but resigned in 1858, and established a school for the sons of Roman Catholic gentry at Edgebaston, near Birmingham. Dr. Newman was elected an honorary fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, December 18, 1877. On May 12, 1879, pope Leo XIII. created him a cardinal deacon of the Holy Roman Church. He died August 10, 1890. A collected edition of his writings was published in London (1870-79, 36 volumes, eleven of which are sermons). As a hymn writer he will be especially remembered as the author of "Lead kindly Light!" See Contemporary Review, September 1890; Annals of the Tractarian Movement, by E.G.K. Brown (London, 1861); William George Ward and the Oxford Movement, by Wilfrid Ward (ibid. 1890).

Anyone tried the Android app for GoPro (wifi) cameras?
I'm planning to buy a GoPro cam that can be accessed via Wifi using an Android app. I can extract the app from Play Store on my tablet to my phone to test it but I'm wondering if anyone has had any success using this app?
I installed old version of GoPro app and restarted the phone. Everything works like a charm. Only 1sec delay in preview (must be normal). Controls and settings works. Installed from Aptoide appstore (from Jolla store). Search "gopro", select "similars" and select "+more". (I have Finnish version of Aptoide so I only guess those english translations) Version 2.2.59 works very well. Can someone test if this works for someone else?
I bought a one chinese actioncamera, it´s work with Android phone, I tested. But don´t work with Jolla. Camera shows image but same time window inform me that wifi contact have some broblem. When I close that inform application shut down. That camera use iSmart DV software (fron Apptoide apps store). I have connected that wifi, it works. Jolla´s info say that WiFi Direct don´t made yet.?? How I can use my camera? Jos mahdollista niin suomeksi :) kun on hoono englaanti.
Just received Hero3+ and with first few tries no luck connecting GoPro to Jolla through GoPro android app. Will do more extensive testing next week.
Hope you'll get it connected. Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
Hm, that's strange, my Hero3 Silver Edition connected without issues. Maybe I am stating the obvious, but before you start the app, you have to connect your Jolla to your GoPro's own WiFi network. Have you done that?
Yes, I did that. Connected to wifi, received IP, but originat GoPro app can`t connect to camera. I have tested other apps for GoPro and two of them was able to connect to camera. Still trying to find out why GoPro original app can't connect.
I also downloaded "camera director free" and it worked instantly but however previewing pictures didin't work at first but at my second try it worked! It also would be nice if the actual GoPro App would work also!
Hi, everyone. So I have tested the GoPro Hero 3+ with my Jolla, and i think the problem why the original GoPro app does not connect to the camera is the preview. I have tested several apps and the only app that worked was an app, which had a preview as a separate feature, that you had to start by pressing a button which opened a separate window. Which, of course, did not work, but all other features, like changing the settings, switching the camera off/on and starting filming and taking photos worked. The app is called "RemoteGO". So it would be great if there was a way to make the preview work also.
VLC doesn't work either. It shows the image for a fraction of a second and closes it.
URL: http://10.5.5.9:8080/live/amba.m3u8 : the preview works now with the new native browser ! For me to, the Android app now shows "connection lost" while it worked very well (preview also) in the beginning that I had my jolla (jan 14). I don't know what is the update that broke the connection. So if it worked, there must be a way to make it working again, no ?
i cant find my GoPro Hero 4 Black. I try with the newest Version from Android App Store and the version froom Aptoide. the Wifi is on "wifi_on|1" Any other tip's?
I can also confirm that GoPro App cant find my GoPro either! I Have GoPro Hero 3 + Silver.
edit: I also downloaded "camera director free" and it worked instantly but however previewing pictures didin't work at first but at my second try it worked! It also would be nice if the actual GoPro App would work also!

Living With Herpes
Ask Dr. G, Infection, Sexual Function
I adore the BBC series, Top Gear. It is not my style to be obsessed by a motoring series filled with laddish overgrown, mickey-taking schoolboys smashing up cars at 200mph for the sake of it. It is complete and utter silliness, but my son and I love it. It doesn't make sense!
Top Gear began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine program, but over time it evolved to become quirky humorous and boorish. The program received acclaim, as well as criticism, mainly for the politically incorrectness of its presenters, namely Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
Clarkson is mercilessly funny, but notoriously obnoxious. He admitted throwing a rage after being told he could not have a sirloin steak after a day of filming. The assault left the producer, Tymon with a punch in the face and a bloody lip. Despite being sacked by the BBC, the world anticipates Clarkson and the gang launching their own licensed version of the TV show. It doesn't make sense!
You know what else doesn't make sense – Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc being confirmed as successors of the new series that is due to air in May 2016. Seriously? Matt LeBlanc from Friends replacing Clarkson for the British sense of humor? Is that all BBC can come up with? I guess we just have to hold our breath till May.
The secret of Clarkson's popularity is not just his wit; it is his risk-taking appetite and daring to stir away from conventional norm. He once commented about boredom (and herpes) in life: "This is a good idea when you are at a loose end because everything, up to and including herpes, is better than being bored."
Another typical Clarkson's comment was about the Bentley Continental GT: "In many ways then this car is like herpes. Great fun to catch it, but not so much fun to live with every day." On the note, I would like to help a reader in making sense of how to continue a fun life with Herpes, despite the misfortune of catching it in his youth.
Dear Dr. G,
My name is Jay. I am 41 years old and recently stumbled upon your articles on Star online. I must say you have a very unique sense of humor. Not sure I get it all the time, but I hope you can help me.
I recently met someone on Facebook and started having an intense relationship.
To be fair, I have come clean with my past, as I contracted herpes in my youth and I am worried this infection is contagious. But my partner does not mind. I am also confused, as my previous two relationships were free from the disease.
I really would like to embark on a sexual relationship after a six-year hiatus, how do I ensure there is no risk of transmission?
I am in love, but yet there is a barrier. How do I do I make sense of this?
The word herpes originates from the Greek word "creeping in latency". Genital herpes is a viral disease induced by the infection of HSV (herpes simplex virus). Type I HSV is usually the infection that involves the face or mouth, mostly termed as cold sores, while type II HSV is often known as genital herpes that affects the genital organs and anus in both genders.
Genital herpes is a taboo in the society as is classified as a sexually transmitted infection. The virus is transmitted by direct sexual contact of an infected individual, with or without outbreaks or bodily fluid exchange. After an initial incubation period, the virus may be transmitted along the sensory nerves to the nerves of cell bodies. The pathogens stay dormant in the bodies between outbreaks. Causes of the recurrence may vary, but are usually precipitated by immunosuppression, stress or even exposure to sunlight.
The worldwide estimation of prevalence of adults affected by the herpes virus is between 60 to 90% of the sexually active population. The rate is believed to be higher in the developing world and advancing age, the transmission risk is also higher from men to women. The vast majority of sufferers of HSV are unaware of the infections, as they may remain asymptomatic. This makes genital herpes the most common sexually transmitted infection.
The diagnosis of genital herpes is generally clinical recognition of the lesions, which are characteristic blisters appearing on the penis, vagina or anus. Blood tests for antibodies against the virus can verify recent or previous infections. However, the precise detection of the virus is determined by the presence of the virus DNA from the blisters during outbreaks.
The most effective mode of avoiding transmission of genital herpes to sexual partners is by avoiding vaginal, oral or anal sex, especially during outbreaks. However, such restraints may be impossible for most intimate relationships. The use of condoms can reduce the risk significantly. In addition, scientific data also supports the utilization of daily antiviral medication to reduce the contagion. Despite the meticulous measures, the risk of transmission is never zero.
My favorite classic novelists, author and literacy critic, George Orwell, once said: "Happiness can only exist in acceptance". From the email, I detected a sense of remorse and regret in Jay after contracting genital herpes. Jay should accept that others will also unconditionally accept him out of love. After all, like many things in life, unconditional love rarely makes sense. Perhaps Jay's new found love is trying to offer the greatest gift of all, described by the author, Brian Tracey: "The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance!"

Guest column: Training California's next generation of essential workers at Oxnard College
Luis P. Sanchez
Last spring, when America first began facing the devastation of a global pandemic, most of our classes at Oxnard College were forced to pivot online. As the college's president, I am immensely proud of our faculty and staff for successfully making that pivot on such short notice in order for our students to safely complete their studies.
But there were two programs in particular for which online education was not an option: our Dental Hygiene Program and Fire Academy.
For both programs, various accreditation and licensure requirements mandated that much of their instruction be hands-on and in a face-to-face environment. And, to be sure, none of us wants to be treated by a dental hygienist whose entire training took place over Zoom or have a firefighter called to our burning home after earning their degree through an online university.
So both programs were pressed to quickly identify new safety protocols, plans for hybrid learning (online when possible and in-person for skills training), and to advocate for new regulatory frameworks for instruction.
As nursing programs, paramedic schools, and law enforcement academies shuttered their doors throughout California, our Dental Hygiene Program and Fire Academy piloted successful plans for a safe return to instruction. Their efforts came at a crucial time for the state. In 2020, California experienced a record-breaking four million burned acres (more than double the previous record) while an unprecedented surge in dental emergencies swept across the nation.
Throughout 2020, both programs achieved near-perfect rates for graduation and key licensure exams all while preventing any COVID-19 exposures or infections. Our Fire Academy's plan was even replicated by sister programs throughout the state.
These efforts were essential to maintaining our community's pipeline of essential workers specializing in public health and safety. As a result of their success, these two programs are now finalists for the prestigious Bellwether Award, and Oxnard College is the only California community college with two finalists for this national recognition.
These efforts didn't just support our community's needs but also helped resilient students stay on track to their goals.
"I had an opportunity to begin a fire academy up in Monterey," said recent graduate Zachary Le. "We made it a little over halfway through the program when COVID hit and we were forced to a halt. When I was trying to figure out what the best steps were going to be, I reached out to the Oxnard College Fire Academy and found out that they were continuing instruction so I came to Oxnard and couldn't be happier with that decision."
Of course, success is nothing new for our Dental Hygiene Program and Fire Academy whose graduates quickly enter some of the fastest-growing careers. From 100% job placement into dental hygiene careers to over 450 firefighting graduates hired by fire departments around the globe in just the past five years, these programs prove that an Oxnard College education opens doors to rewarding careers.
"After graduating, I quickly got my first job; local employers are very receptive to graduates from Oxnard College," said dental hygiene alum Nora Gaytan. "I do think we have an advantage coming from Oxnard College because of its high reputation and employers know that ... graduates are ready to work and are competent."
But these aren't just growing industries, they also pay well and quickly lead to six-figure salaries, job security and advancement opportunities.
"My degree from Oxnard College allowed me to have the career of my dreams and eventually get my house," Gaytan added. "Later on, I ended up going back to school and earning my master's degree."
This is how California's community colleges contribute to our community and nation: We transform students' passion into the hard skills needed to achieve their educational and career goals. That's why our fire and dental programs were joined in continuing face-to-face instruction by our popular auto technology, culinary and chemistry programs — all under the same strict COVID-19 precautions and all in the service of maintaining much-needed career pipelines here in Ventura County.
So the next time you meet a local firefighter or dental hygienist, be sure to ask where they received their training. And when they say Oxnard College, know that you're in the best of hands.

Leading Through The Storm
Aransas Pass, Texas
Because such a vast area was damaged by Hurricane Harvey, LeadersLink held a disaster recovery forum in October after the storm in Aransas Pass for city and county leaders from throughout the Texas Coastal Bend. The team who led their communities through Hurricane Katrina discussed what worked and what didn't, strategies for dealing with FEMA and insights into unexpected post-disaster challenges. Participating were former St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis, former Gulfport, MS Mayor Brent Warr, former Waveland, MS Mayor Tommy Longo and former Biloxi, MS Director of Administration David Staehling.
"It's a great idea. The lessons learned and experiences gained through a disaster are so helpful to instruct or guide people. It's just so valuable that experience, and so helpful. There's an art to this."
Mayor Joe Riley / Charleston, SC
"I would love to have had someone saying 'for the next 3 weeks here's what you need to focus on'. That would have really helped me. There really wasn't a lot of information passed on to us about what was coming in the weeks and months ahead. I remember pulling articles from the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. We did our best to anticipate a lot of issues."
Mayor Walter Maddox / Tuscaloosa, AL
"A website would be really helpful. The ability to link to somebody, talk to somebody in a city of 10,000 or 300,000. There is just some consolation to hearing affirmation. Truthfully, the emotional support means a lot."
Mayor Ted Ellis / Bluffton, IN / Former Pres., National League of Cities
"There's a lot of people sit back and say, 'Oh my God! What am I going to do?' At times, you just need someone to talk to about what you need to be doing next."
Mayor Gregg Kennedy / Smithville, MS
"You're going to get the first call. So you'd better have some answers. You have five minutes! You need to know what you're going to do."
Mayor Harry Lewis / Rayville, LA
"If we keep educating folks - however it needs to be done - but if we can keep educating and letting them know what we know now and wished we had known back then, I think we'll all be better off."
Mayor Eddie Favre / Bay St. Louis, MS
"I think it's very important. It gives us an opportunity to take lessons learned and mistakes made and pass them forward and help people make the right decisions and keep from making the wrong ones."
Mayor Brent Warr / Gulfport, MS
"Anytime you tap on experience, that's a whole lot better a lot of times than a bunch of books. If you have somebody that lived it say, this is what you need to do. Especially if it worked out."
Mayor Billy Skellie / Long Beach, MS

As I stated above, start collecting today.
Collecting coins goes back to almost when they were first minted. At first, they were collected for their bullion value, but later for their design.
US coins have seen numerous circulating denominations ranging from the 1/2 cent to the dollar.
Simple…to make collecting coins more interesting. For some people, it's a hobby. For others, it's an investment. I want to show people that there is more than putting a penny into a folder or album. Some coin collectors are cherry pickers who search primarily for errors. Most collectors know of the 1955 and 1972 double die Lincoln cents but don't realize there are others.
I hope this blog helps you with your collecting experience.


These instructions are intended as a guide. Cabriolet Hydraulics, LLC is not liable for damages or injury. Use at your own discretion. If after reading through these instructions you are unsure about your ability to perform this repair, seek experienced help. There is no substitute for common sense and experience.
1. Begin from the top-up/locked position and activate the top-down operation just enough to unlock the front top latch and retract the rear deck as shown in Fig.1. Remove the key so that the top cannot be accidentally activated during the procedure.
2. Reaching under the retracted deck, remove the rear top anchoring cable ends by prying the connectors away with a suitable prying tool. If you are strong enough, the connectors can be removed by hand. There are two of them, one on each side. Right side shown in Fig. 2.
3. Fold the rear of the top forward by lifting up the back edge and pushing forward. The top should stay in this position on its own as shown in Fig. 5. of Hydraulic Cylinder Removal instructions. Note: for 2002 and later cars with rear glass window, the back edge of the top will need to be propped up.
Fig. 3 shows a close-up of the right side cylinder. Inspect the area shown by the arrow. Look for hydraulic fluid and grime on the cylinder housing, end bushing and shaft. The grime is generated by airborne debris being attached to the leaked hydraulic fluid. The forward end of the cylinder can be inspected by reaching in with your hand and touching the area with your fingertips. Grime and moisture pickup on your fingertips are signs of hydraulic fluid leakage caused by cylinder seal failure. Inspect the left side cylinder in the same manner.
Always handle the cylinders with care. The cylinder shafts are made from a soft steel and damage easily. Deep dings cannot be removed and will cause leaks.
Hydraulic lines are not removable from the cylinders.
Do not over-flex the cylinder hydraulic lines as they may be weakened and subsequently cause leakage.
Keep the open hydraulic line connectors and seals clean to prevent hydraulic fluid leaks after assembly.
Hydraulic fluid can irritate your skin. Use latex or nitrile rubber disposable gloves.
Keep the work area and tools clean.
Cover the local area of the car to protect the paint.
4. Begin with steps 1 thru 3 of the Hydraulic Cylinder Inspection instructions. Using a suitable prying tool, remove the plastic fasteners that secure the rear molded carpeting and remove the carpeting. Fig. 4 shows some of the fastener locations. At this point your progress should look like that of Fig. 5.
Note - For 1999-2001 cars: the rear lid actuator should be moved out of the way to access the hydraulic connectors. Flushing aged hydraulic fluid from the pump requires pump removal in which case the actuator must be moved. For 2002 and newer Carrera, skip steps 5 through 12 and proceed to step 13.
5. Remove the rear deck actuator black connector from the control module by squeezing the side tabs and pulling the connector downward. See Fig. 6.
6. Remove the white electrical connector by squeezing the side tabs and pulling upward. See Fig. 6.
7. Remove the other side of the white connector from the blue connector by pushing the white center tab toward the rear and pushing the connector downward as show in Fig. 7.
8. Remove the black plastic cone from the rear lid actuator by pulling it forward. See Fig. 6.
9. Unscrew the two 10mm nuts that attach the actuator to the bracket. You can use a combination wrench or gear wrench.
10.If the hydraulic lines are tied to the lid actuator flex shafts, remove the ties from both sides of the car. See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
11. Release the lid actuator flex shafts by prying off the cylindrical portion of the black plastic strap from the stud on both sides of the car. See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
12. Remove the actuator by pulling backward against the molded rubber insulator covering the cowling. This may require a little effort as the space is tight. Pull upward and place the actuator on the cowling and tie it back to prevent it from sliding forward into the work space. Two elastic cords were used here to accomplish this. See Fig. 10.
13. Remove the clips from the cylinder drive pin and frame pin as shown in Fig. 11 and 12 and remove the left and right drive arm. Pry the tab on the clip until it clears the end of the pin and slide the clip off by pushing in the direction show by the arrow. Be careful not to drop the clip as it may be difficult to retrieve. Slide the drive arm off the pins as show by the arrow. If there is some resistance, grab the side of the top and pull it backwards slightly. This will relieve the side force on the pins.
14. Gently pull up on the hydraulic lines to remove them from the hold-down clips. Do not bend the lines excessively as this may cause damage to the lines. The left side is shown in Fig. 13. The right side is similar.
15. Place several layers of shop towels under the pump and unscrew the two banjo bolts using a 12mm socket. Some hydraulic fluid will drain out and absorb into the shop towels. Note the position of the copper seals and the blue and red banjo connectors, Fig. 14. Place the bolts and washers in a clean parts tray. Fig. 15 shows the loose banjo connectors. At this point wrap the banjo connector ends with shop towels or cover with plastic baggies to keep them clean and to prevent hydraulic fluid leakage during cylinder removal.
16. To remove the cylinders, unscrew the two cylinder shaft nuts with a 13mm box wrench or gear wrench as shown in Fig. 16. A gear wrench works well here. Be patient when removing these nuts as they can be easily dropped and lost in the wheel well cavity. The forward nut is removed by simply reaching in and unscrewing it. Remove the cylinders from the car. Caution: Be careful not to ding the shafts when working around or handling the cylinders.
Note-left side cylinder only: a potentiometer lever is linked to the cylinder guide pin. Fig. 17 shows the potentiometer arm with the cylinder removed.
Note: Do not unscrew the guide and drive pins from your cylinders. The rebuilt replacements will have the pins already installed.
1. Place the hydraulic line ends into a clean bucket as shown in Fig. 18. While holding the cylinder housing firmly in one hand, push and pull the shaft from end to end several times with the other hand. This action will pump most of the fluid from the cylinder.
2. Push the cylinder shaft completely to one end. Wrap the exposed cylinder shaft with bubble wrap, foam or anything else that will protect it from getting damaged as shown in Fig. 19. Cover the line ends with baggies and snug up with twist ties, zip ties or tape. Wrap each cylinder individually before placing them both in the shipping box. Pack plenty of space filler to keep the cylinders from shifting around.

Media regulator Ofcom is under fresh scrutiny after historian David Olusoga accused it of failing to hold broadcasters accountable for their lack of diversity. EachOther spoke to industry experts about their views on his call for a new diversity regulator and what it should look like.
Olusoga spoke of a "lost generation" of black British television talent forced out of the industry by racism, during his keynote MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh television festival on Monday.
The prominent broadcaster also revealed that he had sought treatment for clinical depression after being left "isolated and disempowered" by his own experiences within the industry.
"When our industry has made big structural changes in the past its success or failure has been measured and assessed by our industry regulator – Ofcom," he said.
"But when it comes to diversity Ofcom has a history of giving the broadcasters a clean bill of health, or at worst a cursory note that they could do better, but with no consequences attached or even suggestions as to what better would look like."
The regulator "lacks credibility and trust among many black and Asian programme makers," he added.
"If Ofcom is not able or not willing to hold the industry accountable on diversity and inclusion, or able to use its power to set minimum standards, then the [Department for Culture, Media and Sport] should set up a new body willing to do so.
"This moment in 2020, with so much money on the table and so many promises made, is the perfect time for such a body to be brought into existence. This is not asking for a revolution but merely asking for accountability."
Ofcom and media diversity
The UK's commercial broadcasters are regulated by the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which was established under the Communications Act 2003.
Ofcom has the power to set minimum standards to which all broadcasters must adhere, such as the Broadcasting Code.
Among the Code's requirements is for broadcasters to be impartial and accurate in their coverage of politics and social issues.
It can levy substantial fines and revoke the licenses of broadcasters who seriously breach the code.
The 2003 Act places a duty on Ofcom to take "all such steps as they consider appropriate for promoting" equality of opportunity among men and women, people of different racial groups and disabled people.
Its work in this area has included producing reports and publishing guidance for employers to ensure they promote equal opportunities.
Olusoga's speech comes amid a spate of racism scandals involving mainstream broadcasters.
One of the most recent among them is the BBC's decision to use the N-word in a news segment last month, which director general Tony Hall apologised for days after the corporation initially defended it.
Almost two decades on from Ofcom's establishment, data shows that people from minority ethnic backgrounds continue to be underrepresented in key sectors across the industry.
About 2% of TV programmes in 2016 were made by black, Asian or minority ethnicity (BAME) directors, according to figures from Directors UK. This compares to 13% of the national population.
According to the Ofcom's 2019 'Diversity and equal opportunities in television' report, the representation of minority ethnic talent in the "key area of creative and content production" fell to 8% from 9% the previous year across the five main broadcasters.

Ofcom occasionally publishes things which are quite critical of broadcasters. But it's like a rottweiler with a loud bark, and no teeth.
Simon Albury, chairman of the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality
Simon Albury, chairman of the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality, told EachOther it is important to distinguish between the issue of investigating alleged racism and the matter of holding organisations accountable for diversity and representation.
Racism allegations within broadcasters should be investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) as Ofcom is "not equipped" to deal with it, he said.
But on holding broadcasters to account on their diversity, Ofcom has been "very inadequate".
Albury pointed to Ofcom's 2019 'Diversity in UK television: freelancers' report as an example of the regulator demonstrating its own inadequacy.
The report found that: "Without complete and accurate data, it is difficult to hold broadcasters to account for the diversity of their freelance workforce. In turn, ongoing concerns around representation are hard to evidence."
Ofcom's current powers do not allow it to collect freelance data.
The regulator "does not want official powers to get this data, or to better hold broadcasters to account," Albury said.
Albury hopes the regulator listens to criticism and introduces better measurements, new powers and sanctions that work. He also hopes Dame Melanie Dawes, who was a diversity champion in the civil service and became Ofcom's chief executive in February this year, can reform the organisation.
"This body needs to have the commitment to drive the necessary diversity changes … and it needs sanctions that work.
"Now that could be the old body or it could be a new body. But that is what's needed."

'It would have to be far more arms length from government than a lot of watchdogs are
Ex-BBC broadcaster Henry Bonsu
Ex-BBC journalism Henry Bonsu supports the idea of setting up a new diversity regulator.
"Ofcom either has, whether through omission or commission, done very little in this area," he told EachOther. "It's just left it up to the production companies or the broadcaster themselves."
Asked how a new body would look, he said it would need its own resources and its own secretariat.
"It would have to be far more arm's length from the government than a lot of the other watchdogs are," he added, pointing to the EHRC whose commissioners are appointed by government ministers.
"I think it would have to be able to recruit independently. It would have to be people who had some background in the industry, as opposed to people who've got nothing … who have never had any experience."
'We're at crisis point'
Bonsu's comments were echoed by another former executive for the BBC and Channel 4, who did not wish to be named.
"Ofcom shows itself again and again … unwilling to address the lack of diversity within our industry and hold broadcasters to account.
"If they are not going to do that I think [Olusoga's] idea is a good one. If Ofcom doesn't do one of the things they need to be doing, then I don't understand why they have got that remit."
She added: "We are at a crisis point. We need to decide whether we are going to make change or whether we will continue with the status quo for another 30 years to the detriment of our industry."
Another former BBC executive, who also did not wish to be named and also supports the idea of a new regulator, said the body should be "controlled by people from diverse backgrounds and producers within the industry" as well as trusted community groups.
"It would have state power to issue fines, unless their recommendations on diversity are taken on board," he added.
"It should be funded by a range of means: broadcasters, the taxpayer and the private sector."
We have structures in place, they just need to work effectively
Senior diversity expert
However a senior diversity expert, with experience across the broadcasting sector, told EachOther of her preference to reform Ofcom.
"My preference is we need to put the accountability in force," she said.
"Now we are in a crisis at this time, it is sometimes easy to create new structures. We have structures in place, they just need to be working effectively.
"If they cannot get it together, maybe it's a lack of expertise or a lack of support. If they can't, you may need to create something different."
She said that "effective change" will only happen if diversity and inclusion is "embedded into all the other structures and processes and regulation that Ofcom is responsible for," rather than diverting this responsibility to other bodies.
"[Diversity and inclusion] is always an additional add on or knee jerk reaction, when it should be the first thought at the centre of every policy decision, and people held to it."
An Ofcom spokesperson told EachOther: "Ofcom has been leading industry work to improve diversity in TV and radio for several years.
"We have established a panel of industry experts to inform our work, and we carry out major annual studies of broadcasters' workforces and action plans.
"We have also set strict diversity requirements for the BBC, and continue to engage at CEO level with all the major broadcasters to help the industry make faster progress – which we agree is urgently needed."
EachOther understands the DCMS welcomes the work Ofcom has undertaken through its annual diversity reports on broadcasting – but also feels there is more to be done, encouraging the sector to ensure it represents the UK.
The Journalism Takeover
The Black Lives Matter movement must be more than a passing moment. As a small step towards this end, EachOther is lending its platform to four Black guest editors who are working to fight injustice. They will examine the themes of justice, education, charity and journalism in the UK. Our journalism editor is Marcus Ryder, visiting professor in media diversity at Birmingham City University.

Hans Ackermann, auch Johannes Ackermann (geb. vor 1538; gest. nach 1545) war ein deutscher Dichter, der in der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts schrieb.

Leben und Wirken
Ackermanns Lebensweg ist nicht umfassend dokumentiert. Frühere Autoren schrieben, dass er als Schulmeister in Zwickau arbeitete. K. Hahn vermutete später, dass Ackermann ein in der Stadt tätiger Goldschmied war, der bescheiden lebte und mit Sankt Roth zur Schule ging. Ab dem Jahr 1538 arbeitete er als Probierer und Silberarbeiter in Marienberg im Erzgebirge.

Im Jahr 1536 veröffentlichte Ackermann in Zwickau das aus drei Akten bestehende lutherische Schulstück Der verlorene Sohn. Er lehnte sich dabei vermutlich an "Acolastus" von Wilhelm Gnapheus an und schrieb einfach und treuherzig. 1540 erschien die dritte, deutlich veränderte Edition von "Der ungeratene Sohn". Dabei ließ er sich zweifelsohne vom "Ungeraten sun" von Hans Sachs beeinflussen, schrieb lehrhaft und stellte die Gnadenlehre Martin Luthers in den Mittelpunkt des Werkes.

Ackermann beeinflusste mit seinem Drama "Der ungeratene Sohn" die Dichter H. Scharpfenecker, N. Risleben, Ludwig Hollonius, J. Nendorf und indirekt N. Locke und englische Komödianten. Im Jahr 1539 veröffentlichte er in Zwickau das "Spiel von Tobias", das er weder in Akte noch Szenen gliederte. Er widmete das Stück Paul Rebhun und behauptete darin, dass das Vertrauen auf Gott am Ende belohnt werde.

Auf das Jahr 1545 datiert ist das von Ackermann in Zwickau herausgegebene "Spiel vom barmherzigen Samariter". Er gestaltete den Text nie in Form eines Dramas, schrieb jedoch polemisch gegen den Katholizismus und interpretierte Texte im Sinne der lutherischen Gnadenslehre. Er verfasste Dramen und ein Spruchgedicht über die Martinsgans. Dabei arbeitete er ohne Ausschmückungen, mitunter trocken einfach und beschrieb gemütvoll den Werdegang eines einfachen Kleinbürgers, der unbeirrbar am lutherischen Glauben festhielt.

Werke (Auswahl)

N.J. PBA endorses Trump, only GOP congressional candidates
Van Drew, Richter, Smith, Kean and Becchi pick up state police union backing
By David Wildstein, August 18 2020 3:52 pm
The state's largest law enforcement union has endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election and is backing just five Republican candidates for Congress, eschewing U.S. Senator Cory Booker and nine incumbent Democratic House members in the November general election.
The announcement follows Trump's endorsement by the New York City PBA on Friday and comes as leading Democrats have called for defunding local police departments.
The New Jersey State Policeman's Benevolent Association (PBA) is supporting incumbents Jeff Van Drew (R-Dennis) and Christopher Smith (R-Hamilton), as well as two challengers.
The PBA is backing David Richter over Andy Kim (D-Moorestown) in the 3rd, Thomas Kean, Jr. over Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes) in the 7th, and Rosemary Becchi against Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) in the 11th. The group backed Tom MacArthur and Leonard Lance for re-election in 2018 against Kim Malinowski, respectively, but also endorsed Sherrill in the 11th district.
"I'm grateful for the endorsement of the New Jersey State Police Benevolent Association," said Kean. "This organization represents the men and women who protect our families and communities and put their lives on the line day in and day out across New Jersey."
Richter pledged to defend the interests of police officers as a congressman.
"At a time when Democrats are calling to defund the very men and women who keep our communities safe, our campaign has chosen to stand beside them and make our support for men and women in blue very clear," Richter said. "As your next congressman, I will always defend our law enforcement community and that starts by protecting qualified immunity which ensures that criminals cannot sue cops simply for doing their job."
No candidates received New Jersey PBA support in the other eight congressional districts.
The police union is also supporting State Sen. Anthony M. Bucco (R-Boonton) and Assemblywoman Aura Dunn (R-Mendham) in special elections in the 25th legislative district.
This story was updated at 3:54 PM with comment from Kean and at 4:05 PM with comment from Richter.

Brixton based experimental artist residency LAPA is inviting Pan-African artists to apply for its Season II residency Open Call. The residency invites two artists working as duo or pair to apply before the set deadline of Friday 15 July 2022.
Taking influence from Roger Robinson's 'A Portable Paradise' (2022) and Albert Camus 'Create Dangerously' (1957), the residency wonders on theories and practices of collectivity, third spaces, shared inquiry and co-citizenship to consider art as a social practice.
LAPA is hosted by the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg and consists of a co-working space, workshops and an art reference library. Enacting the term LAPA, the residency becomes a space of communing, exploring memories of home and world-making. As a process-based residency for artistic research, artists are afforded the space to determine their method and work-plan as motivated by the demands of their research. LAPA commits to facilitating this by offering a welcome, working space, supportive programme of discussions, and connections to other art professionals.
Nestled in the vibrant neighbourhood of Brixton Johannesburg, LAPA prides itself in championing artist-led community engagement. As a residential community, the residency experience is timed by the everyday commotion of life. LAPA is situated in the Breezeblock complex, Up the hill from the South African Broadcasting Commission, a structure of nationalist tele-communications, and marked by the looming Sentech tower which has a broadcast network strong enough to reach Sudan. Brixton has been home to a multitude of communities, with a cemetery connecting neighbouring areas.

The Simi Valley softball team is feeling good about itself early in the season.
The Pioneers used great pitching and timely hitting to remain undefeated in a 4-2 Marmonte League opening victory against rival Royal and Arizona-commit Nancy Bowling.
The victory was the second one in the past seven days against the Highlanders after a 10-0 blanking in the championship game of the Simi Valley tournament March 12.
It also marked the 10th win in the past 12 games for the Pioneers against their neighborhood counterpart.
"The intensity just rises up so much more when we play Royal," shortstop Jen Soria said.
The intensity was at its peak in the fourth inning when Soria crushed a Bowling pitch to deep center for a three-run home run and sent the Pioneers on their way.
The home run gave starter Sophia Perez a two-run cushion and she pitched the bottom half of the fourth before giving way to sophomore Lauren Soles, who finished up with three no-hit innings.
The move worked to perfection as the Highlanders chipped away for two runs off the right-handed Perez and then got a different look from the left-handed Soles.
Royal had solid opportunities in the first and fifth but came away with no runs after getting two runners on base.
Amanda Chatman made a spectacular diving catch in the first to rob Ali Mosier of a two-RBI double.
Jordyn Ball had three hits, two stolen bases and scored a run for Simi Valley.
Katelyn Tollefson and Samantha Ohme each had RBI-singles for Royal. Tollefson reached base four times.
Bowling allowed four runs on six hits and three walks with four strikeouts.


Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is located in the southwestern part of Uganda and covers 331 sq km making it one of the largest natural forests in East Africa.
As part of the Albertine Rift Valley, the park is one of Africa's most important conservation areas and was declared a Natural World Heritage Site in December 1994. Since 2003, the Albertine Rift Valley has been named a biodiversity hotspot -- a place that needs special attention to maintain conservation efforts.
The landscape is rugged, with deep valleys running between steep sided hills and ridges. There is both lowland and montane rainforest with dense undergrowth of herbs, vines and shrubs, hence the name 'Impenetrable'. This area is regarded as one of the most biologically diverse forests in Africa with the richest faunal community in East Africa.
The forest is home to many rare species and encompasses one of the last remaining habitats of Mountain Gorillas Gorilla gorilla beringeri. More than half of the world's population of mountain gorillas are found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (approximately 325 of the remaining 770 or so individuals). Mountain gorillas are only found in the wild.
There are estimated to be upwards of 120 species of mammals (more than other Ugandan national parks except Queen Elizabeth). Among these are forest elephants and 10 species of primates, including chimpanzees, colobus monkeys and baboons. Bwindi is also the only park in the world where chimpanzees and gorillas co-exist in the same environment. The rare giant forest hog is also found here, although sightings are rare!
For bird watchers, Bwindi is one of the most enticing areas in Uganda to visit with an estimated 360 species of birds, including 23 of the 24 endemic to the Albertine Rift Valley and another 14 species found nowhere else in Uganda, including the African Green Broadbill. The pristine rainforests of this park are also home to approximately 300 species of butterfly (including two endangered species of Swallowtails), 200 native tree species and many species of reptiles and amphibians.
The rugged mountainous terrain makes gorilla trekking strenuous work and visitors should be prepared for up to 8 hours of hiking (good physical condition is a must), although generally the hike to find the gorillas is less than three hours each way, with a maximum one hour spent with the gentle giants themselves. Kindly note that Bwindi is a tropical rainforest. It rains at different times but nearly everyday so you will need a rain jacket or poncho.
No-one with signs of communicable diseases like flu or cough will be allowed to trek. The three groups of gorillas habituated for trekking are the Mubare, Habinyanja and Rushegura. Each group has approximately 15-20 individuals. A fourth family, Nkuringo, was opened for trekking in 2004, although access to this group is from Kisoro not Buhoma. Two additional groups, one near Nkuringo and another at Ruhija were also opened up.
At present, a maximum of 72 permits daily are available for gorilla trekking. For advance booking, 2-12 months is recommended to avoid disappointment. We take up bookings up to 2 years in advance. Permits are $500 each and are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. Permits are non-refundable, although in some cases will be transferable. Some permits may be available on short notice. Discounts on permits apply for Residents of East Africa and Citizens of Uganda.
If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of local Ugandan culture, visits can be arranged to the local community to see traditional costumes and jewelry making. You may also want to visit the Batwa (Pygmy) families in the area. Village walks are available for a nominal price. Locally produced craft items can be purchased from the park tourist office, local craft shops and Lodge gift shops.

Gera, Brazil
Manaus, Brazil
The 85 MW Gera power plant in the city of Manaus, northern Brazil was handed over to the customer in December 2006. The five Wärtsilä 18V46GD engines in the power plant, built under an EPC contract, are supplying baseload power to the Manaus grid. In 2010, the engines were converted at site from heavy fuel engines (Wärtsilä 18V46) to gas diesel engines (Wärtsilä 18V46GD).
Wärtsilä's customer, GERA (Geradora de Energia do Amazonas S/A), is an independent power producer (IPP) and part of the Servtec group and FIP Brazil Energia. Manus, a metropolis and a free trade zone in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, has become a major industrial centre in Brazil. Gera was one of three IPP power plants of identical size delivered by Wärtsilä in the Manaus region in 2006.
