De Triumph TR65-serie was een kleine serie motorfietsen die het Britse merk Triumh produceerde van 1981 tot 1983.

Voorgeschiedenis
Sinds de Triumph 6T Thunderbird (1950-1966) had Triumph geen 650cc-toermotorfiets meer gebouwd. Er waren wel 650cc-modellen geweest, zoals de TR6 Trophy en de T120 Bonneville, maar dat waren allemaal sport- en terreinmotoren. In 1973 werd Triumph verkocht aan Dennis Poore, die Norton-Villiers-Triumph oprichtte, maar die ook de Triumph-fabriek in Meriden dreigde te sluiten. De werknemers staakten 18 maanden lang en uiteindelijk werd er een compromis gevonden. Met steun van de regering Wilson werd de Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative opgericht, met de werknemers zelf aan het roer, maar met NVT als opdrachtgever en afnemer. Eind jaren zeventig leverde de werknemerscoöperatie alleen nog 750cc-paralleltwins: de T140 Bonneville met twee carburateurs en de TR7 Tiger met enkele carburateur.

1981
In 1981 stond ook de Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative aan de rand van de afgrond. De Triumph-motorfietsen waren te duur en te ouderwets om te concurreren met de Japanse merken en konden ook slechts met moeite voldoen aan de strenge milieu-eisen van de belangrijkste markt, die in de Verenigde Staten. Men zocht de vlucht naar voor met veel nieuwe modellen,
zoals de Triumph T140LE Bonneville Royal Wedding ter gelegenheid van het huwelijk van prins Charles met Diana Spencer, de T140AV Bonneville met in rubber opgehangen motorblok, de T140ES Bonneville Executive met kofferset en stuurkuipje, de T140W TSS met door Weslake ontwikkelde vierkleps-cilinderkoppen en de TR7T Tiger Trail voor offroadgebruik.

Triumph TR65(S) Thunderbird

De Triumph TR65 Thunderbird verscheen ook in 1981. Het was een kleinere versie van de T140 Bonneville, wat werd bereikt door de slag in te korten van 82 mm naar 71,5 mm, waardoor de cilinderinhoud op 648,7 cc kwam. Het kostte de motor was kracht in de lage toerentallen, maar ze reageerde levendiger op het gas en trilde minder. De naam "Thunderbird" wees op het toeristische karakter van de machine. De machine was bedoeld als goedkoop alternatief voor de beginnende rijder en ze moest een brandstofverbruik van 1:19 hebben. Het slapende bestuurslid van The Meriden Motorcycle Co-operative Geoffrey Robinson was een Labour-kamerlid dat een grote rol had gespeeld bij de financiële steun die voor de oprichting van de Meriden Motorcycle Co-operation nodig was geweest. Hij had grote bezwaren bij het uitbrengen van de 650cc-TR65 Thunderbird en ook van een voorgesteld 125cc-model voor beginnende motorrijders. Hij was bang dat de lichtere modellen de verkoop van de winstgevende 750cc-modellen zou hinderen. Het bestuur vond echter dat de lichtere modellen eerder een opstap naar zwaardere modellen vormden. Hoewel er een aantal TR65's werd gebouwd in de stijl voor de Verenigde Staten met een kleinere 9liter-tank en een hoog stuur, konden die niet worden geëxporteerd omdat ze enkel geleverd werd met de Amal Concentric MkI-carburateur, die weliswaar een moeilijk bereikbare choke had maar die ook gevlotterd kon (moest) worden. Dat systeem kwam niet door de keuring van de Amerikaanse Environmental Protection Agency. Deze machines werden verkocht in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, Europa en de landen van het Britse Gemenebest. De UK/ROW-modellen kregen een Italiaanse Paioli 18 liter tank, hoewel er door leveringsproblemen ook exemplaren met de oude 18 liter "broodtrommeltank" van Triumph zelf werden gebouwd. Er werd ook een Triumph TR65S Thunderbird met elektronische ontsteking en startmotor gebouwd, mogelijk slechts 1 exemplaar. Het Londense echtpaar Richard en Mopsa English voorzagen de machine van een Squire-bagagezijspan en een Hedingham-schommelvoorvork en maakte er van 1982 tot 1986 een wereldreis mee, die ze beschreven in hun boek "Full Circle". Deze zijspancombinatie staat tentoongesteld in het London Motorcycle Museum.

Bezuinigingen
Hoewel gericht op de "economy"-klasse, was de TR65 erg duur. In Nederland kostte ze in 1982 10.750 gulden. Een Moto Guzzi V 65 kostte 10.000 gulden, een viercilinder Honda CB 650 kostte 8.000 gulden, een Kawasaki Z 650 kostte 8.500 gulden, een Suzuki GS 650 kostte 8.000 gulden en een Yamaha XJ 650 kostte 9.000 gulden. Alleen de BMW R65 was met 11.300 gulden duurder dan de Triumph, maar al deze machines hadden een startmotor en waren sterker en sneller dan de Thunderbird. Triumph had bezuinigd op de startmotor, de zijstandaard, het zadel (mindere kwaliteit), de banden (Dunlop in plaats van de betere Avon's), toerenteller, de carburateur (Amal in plaats van Bing), contactpuntjes in plaats van elektronische ontsteking, chroom en de remmen (trommelrem in plaats van schijfrem achter). Dat werd echter tenietgedaan door de koers van het Britse pond en het feit dat de machines grotendeels met de hand gebouwd werden. De machines in Meriden dateerden grotendeels uit 1942.

In 1982 kregen de machines alsnog de duurdere Avon-banden, toerenteller en Marzocchi-schokdempers. De UK/ROW-versies kregen ook gepolijste motorzijdeksels.

Motor
De motor was een luchtgekoelde, dwarsgeplaatste paralleltwin, een kopklepmotor waarvan de kleppen bediend werden door stoterstangen en tuimelaars. De boring bedroeg 76 mm, de slag 71,5 mm, de cilinderinhoud 648,7 cc en de compressieverhouding 8,6:1. Daarmee leverde hij een vermogen van 42 pk bij 6.500 tpm. De beide nokkenassen waren laag geplaatst, die voor de inlaatkleppen achter het cilinderblok en die voor de uitlaatkleppen ervoor. De machine had een twee-in-een-uitlaat. De smering werd verzorgd door een dry-sumpsysteem waarvoor de olie in de bovenste framebuis bewaard werd. De machine had accu-bobine-ontsteking, aanvankelijk nog met contactpuntjes, maar de latere TR65T Tiger Trail kreeg elektronische ontsteking.

Transmissie
Op het linker krukasuiteinde zat het voortandwiel van de primaire transmissie, die via een duplexketting verliep. Die dreef de meervoudige natte plaatkoppeling aan en vervolgens de vijfversnellingsbak met het schakelpedaal links en de kickstarter rechts. De secundaire transmissie verliep via een ketting.

Rijwielgedeelte
Het "Oil-in-frame"-rijwielgedeelte stamde rechtstreeks van de 750cc-Triumph TR7V Tiger. Het was een dubbel wiegframe met de motorolie in de bovenste framebuis. De telescoopvork aan de voorkant kreeg kritiek omdat ze last had van stick-slip, een probleem dat bij de terreinuitvoeringen TR7T Tiger Trail en de TR65T Tiger Trail nog zwaarder woog omdat ze deze voorvork ook gebruikten. Voor zat een enkele Lockheed-schijfrem, achter een simplex-trommelrem. De achtervering werd verzorgd door een swingarm met twee Girling-veer/demperelementen. De achtervering werd als "hard" bestempeld, maar ook hier had men moeten bezuinigen door Girlings te gebruiken in plaats van de duurdere Marzocchi's.

Triumph TR65 Thunderbird Derny

Het Velodrome in Leicester bestelde tien gangmaakmotoren op basis van de TR65 Thunderbird. Deze machines werden later doorverkocht aan het Herne Hill Velodrome in Londen. De TR65 Thunderbird Derny had een verhoogd zadel, zodat de rijder feitelijk rechtop stond om zo veel mogelijk wind te vangen. Daarom moest ook het stuur worden verlengd. Omdat de snelheid niet hoger was dan die van de wielrenners, was de gearing aangepast door een groot achtertandwiel te monteren. De achtervering was vervallen, net als de verlichting en de spatborden.

Triumph TR65T Tiger Trail

Na de test van de Triumph TR7T Tiger Trail suggereerde Motor Cycle News dat de 650cc-motor van de TR65 Thunderbird nog geschikter zou zijn voor de aandrijving van de offroadmotor. Brian Jones had de 750cc-motor al getemperd door de toepassing van een enkele carburateur, het verlagen van de compressieverhouding en de toepassing van tammere nokkenassen en had wel oren naar het gebruik van de lichtere motor, die immers bekend stond om zijn goede gasreactie terwijl het vermogen hetzelfde bleef.

De TR65T Tiger Trail werd alleen geleverd in "Sunburst Yellow', inclusief de spatborden en zijdeksels. Ze had een kleine Paioli-12,4liter-tank, maar die voor de VS-modellen was nog kleiner: 9 liter. Het stuur en de tankdop hadden een zwarte poedercoating, de twee-in-een-uitlaat was zwart verchroomd. Voor zat een enkele Lockheed AP-schijfrem, achter een simplex-trommelrem. De rechthoekige richtingaanwijzers en het remlicht werden geleverd door het Duitse ULO. De Bumm-spiegels kwamen ook uit Duitsland. De achterschokdempers waren van Marzocchi, maar de telescoopvork was identiek aan die van de straatmodellen. De velgen kwamen van Radaelli en waren geschoeid met Avon-Mudplugger-terreinbanden. De koplamp was kleiner dan bij de straatmodellen en voorzien van een steenslaggaasje. De twee-in-een-uitlaat was links omhooggebogen. In vergelijking met de TR7T Tiger Trail had de TR65 wel een toerenteller, elektronische ontsteking, duovoetsteunen en een middenbok. Een duopassagier paste nog steeds nauwelijks op het te kleine ¾-zadel, maar onmogelijk was het niet nu de omhooggebogen twee-in-een-uitlaat aan de linkerkant een hitteschild had gekregen. Deze extra's maakten de machine echter precies even duur als de 750cc-TR7T Tiger Trail. Terwijl de TR7T werd vergeleken met de BMW R80G/S (en die vergelijking in het terrein goed doorstond, maar op de weg niet), werd de TR65 vergeleken met de zeer licht offroads uit Japan. Die vergelijking kon ze alleen al op basis van haar prijs van 10.950 gulden niet aan: een Honda XL 500 R kostte slechts 6.500 gulden, een Suzuki DR 500 S 6.000 gulden en een Yamaha XT 550 6.500 gulden. Deze machines hadden soms wat minder vermogen, maar ze waren 20 kg lichter dan de Triumph. De TR65T Tiger Trail werd dan ook alleen in 1982 geleverd en ging tegelijk met de TR7T uit productie.

Triumph Daytona 600 en TR60 Thunderbird 600

In 1983 bouwde Triumph nog twee prototypen op basis van de TR65-motor maar teruggebracht naar 600 cc om in een lagere verzekeringsklasse te vallen. De Triumph Daytona 600 was een verkleinde versie van de TR65 Thunderbird, maar zonder kickstarter, die nu maar eens eindelijk moest verdwijnen. Andere merken gebruikten die alleen nog op de allroad- en offroadmodellen. De machine kreeg ook een kunststof "kontje" achter het duozadel, zoals de Triumph TSX. De Triumph TR60 Thunderbird 600 had eigenlijk ook alleen een startmotor. Er werd maar een enkel exemplaar gebouwd. Dat werd op verzoek van het Britse ministerie van Defensie omgebouwd tot kickstartermodel. Mogelijk was dat een laatste poging van de regering Thatcher om Triumph nog te redden met militaire leveringen. Deze machine werd op 1 juni 1983 gebouwd en volgens de archieven in bezit van de Vintage Motor Cycle Club was dit de voorlaatste compleet afgebouwde Triumph in Meriden. De laatste was de TSS-AV, op 27 juni speciaal gebouwd voor Chris Buckle, de eigenaar van Roebucks Motorcycles.

Einde productie
Zoals gezegd werd de laatste Triumph gebouwd op 27 juni 1983. In augustus ging het merk in vrijwillige liquidatie.

Construction Civil Engineering Technician Certification
By Lindsey Thompson
Google Professional Certification
i Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
From the ground our homes stand on to the roofs built over our heads, construction civil engineers play a large role in the construction industry. Civil engineering technicians work alongside civil engineers to plan and design construction projects from major highways to residential homes. Women make up only 16 percent of the engineering technician industry as of 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Earning certification proves that the tech has the additional training and know-how to perform her job safely and effectively.
Certification Sources
Certification for construction civil engineering techs comes from a variety of sources, including national professional organizations like the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies. NICET sponsors two certifications intended for construction civil engineers -- the building construction and construction materials testing designations -- each of which have four levels of certification. Certification also comes from state and local organizations such as the Arizona Technical Testing Institute, which sponsors three types of construction civil engineering technician certifications.
Program Prerequisites
Earning certification starts by fulfilling eligibility requirements that vary depending on the provider. In general, candidates must have a certain educational degree and a minimum number of years of experience. Some providers will allow applicants to substitute a specific engineering degree for work experience and vice versa. NICET, for example, gives applicants with a two or four year degree in an engineering technology program credit for the equivalent of 18 months of professional experience. Other requirements include supervisor verification of job duties and professional experience, professional and peer references and application and exam fees.
In addition to giving applicants a chance to prove their knowledge and skills, the certification exam also helps weed out those applicants not qualified for certification. Because certification for construction civil engineers includes a variety of specialty designations, the topics covered in the exam can vary greatly. Most exams consist of multiple-choice questions and, depending on the provider, the test takes place in-person at a testing center or online at home. In addition to the exam, some providers mandate that applicants take a certification course to help prepare for the test. ATTI automatically enrolls test-takers in a two-day review course once they apply for the exam.
Keeping Credentials
Once achieved, the construction civil engineering technician certification requires renewal generally every one to three years. Along with submitting a renewal application and fee, certification holders must earn a certain number of continuing education credits during the renewal period. For example, NICET refers to its CE credits as continuing professional development points and certification holders must earn 90 CPD points in at least two of five categories. CE credits can come from traditional classroom courses, online classes, presentations, seminars, workshops, earning additional certifications and volunteer activities.

News »Public Intoxication (Review Recommendations) Amendment Bill 2016
Public intoxication (review recommendations) amendment bill 2016
Mr DULUK (Davenport) (16:41): I would also like to make a contribution on this bill andnote my support, and that of this side of the house, on the main aspects of the proposed bill. Firstly, I would like to make a brief comment on the length of time it has taken for this legislation to comebefore the house.
It was back in November 2011 that the Deputy Coroner delivered his findings on the concurrent inquests into the death of six Aboriginal persons who sadly died between 2004 and 2009.In response to those findings, in June 2012 the government committed to a review of thePublic Intoxication Act 1984. The independent review was completed by Dr Chris Reynolds, and hisreport was delivered in December 2012. It was not until 2015 that the government finally released itsresponse to the Reynolds review, so who knows what it was sitting on for a couple of years.
Draft legislation followed in February 2016, with the bill before us today introduced to thehouse just a couple of weeks ago, on 23 June. It is almost five years since the Deputy Coronerdelivered his findings which initiated the review of the Public Intoxication Act and only now, inJuly 2016, do we finally have an opportunity to consider legislative change. For me, it is a very sadreflection on this government's commitment to legislative reform and efforts to improve the wellbeingof South Australians.
Notwithstanding the tardiness of the government on this issue, as I have already stated, I amgenerally supportive of this bill. The Public Intoxication Act is critical to helping protect a person whois found to be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs and, as a result, cannot take proper careof themselves. Importantly, it provides for their apprehension and care if they are found in a public
place. The amendments provide an opportunity to modernise the act, which has operated withoutmaterial amendment since its inception.
In particular, I welcome the expanded definition of 'a drug' for the purposes of this act. Thebill makes an important catch-all amendment by expanding the definition of 'a drug' to include:
…alcohol or any other substance that is capable, either alone, or in combination with other substances, of influencing mental functioning.
The strengthening of protection for people involved in the administration of the act from civil liability,providing their intentions are in good faith and done for the purposes of complying with the act, isalso a positive step, and I am supportive of the government's position not to provide broader immunityfrom criminal liability.
Under the act, police officers are required to discharge a detained person when they haverecovered and can take proper care of themselves, but before the expiration of 10 hours. The billextends the maximum period of detention by police to 12 hours, but it retains the 18-hour maximumperiod of detention for declared sobering up centres. However, the Reynolds review recommended:
The existing period for detention should be replaced with a general sobriety test requiring the release of aperson as soon as they are sufficiently sober as to no longer present a risk of harm to themselves or others, thoughwith a new specified maximum limit of 24 hours.
During his review, Dr Reynolds found:
…a number of people raised concerns about instances where detained persons were released at the expiryof the specified period though still quite intoxicated. This presents a dilemma for workers etc conscious of their duty ofcare but also aware of the rights of the person detained.
I understand that SA Health addiction clinicians do not believe a period of 24 hours is necessary.They consider that a person should be sufficiently recovered after 12 hours to take proper care ofthemselves. Indeed, Dr Carolyn Edmonds, an addiction medicine specialist at the Drug and AlcoholServices South Australia, was on radio just last week endorsing this view. Dr Edmonds emphasisedthe value of a shift from 10 hours to 12 hours, saying that 'an extra two hours…can make a difference
in terms of metabolism of alcohol'. Hopefully, an extra two hours is sufficient to address theseconcerns, but it is an area that will need to be closely monitored to ensure we do have the balanceright.
The overriding principle of the Public Intoxication Act is harm minimisation. The bill
introduces objects and guiding principles to clearly articulate its scope and intentions. Whilst Iconsider this a worthwhile amendment, the SAPOL numbers that the minister outlined in her secondreading speech are a cause of concern. Inserting a clause to better describe the intention of the actwill not help deliver tangible results to the South Australian community.
As the minister stated, and we all know, the data from SAPOL shows that approximately3,000 people are apprehended under the act each year, and half of those apprehended identify asIndigenous South Australians. Around 3,000 apprehensions each year, every year. I believe thisfigure has been fairly stable year after year. Of course, that 3,000 figure is a marked overrepresentation of Indigenous South Australians who, as I said, constitute about 50 per cent of those
apprehended.
We know Indigenous South Australians make up about 2 per cent of our population, so they are quite clearly over-represented in the 3,000 persons who are apprehended every year. I doappreciate, as we all do in this house, that the over-representation of Indigenous Australians withinour criminal justice system, our social and wellbeing centres and statistics is all too high and haslong been a issue for many years, but it does provide some insight into the issue of alcohol and the
use of other substances amongst Indigenous Australians and the effectiveness of the government'sSouth Australian Alcohol and Other Drug Strategy 2011-2016.
The 2014 progress report on the strategy, which is the most recent publicly available report,noted:
The estimated number and rate of alcohol-related hospitalisations among the Aboriginal population increasedslightly between 2007-08 and 2009-10, and decreased over the remainder of the reporting period, with 2012-13 rates
similar to those in 2007-08.
Essentially, there has been no substantial change in hospitalisation rates over a five-year period. Iwould be very interested to see if the figures in the 2015 progress report are more promising, butunfortunately we are still waiting for this report to be released. The 2014 report was released at theend of 2015 and, given this government's track record, I can only assume we will once again be left
waiting until Christmas. Recommendation 5 of the Reynolds review states:
Dry areas and the expiation notices associated with them compound the problems of chronically intoxicatedpersons. While they are important strategies for reducing violence and preserving local [areas], there is a need toconsider diversion programmes as an option to prosecution where considered appropriate.
The review found:
When breached, the dry area laws also have the effect of further impoverishing drinkers (in so many casesindigenous drinkers) or further complicating their lives if they do not pay the expiation fee. The significance of this isillustrated by the fact that Ceduna Council (for example) estimates receipts of around $40,000 annually in relation to dry area expiations. This is over 90% of its total expiation fee income.
These findings are also supported by the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement. In its submission to theliquor licensing review, the ALRM notes that its workers found that, in October 2014, there were atotal of 25 community members with unpaid fines totalling $90,000, and in July 2015 there were28 community members with a total of $299,000 of outstanding fines. Whilst these figures includeexpiation notices for sleeping rough and other offences—not just public intoxication—it does highlight
the limitation of issuing fines. The ALRM submission supports proposals that:
…people in the grip of grog be treated under a medical model of intervention and diversion through the PublicIntoxication Act and detoxification in public hospitals and alcohol rehabilitation centres…
I appreciate that expiation notices have an important role in acting as a deterrent in maintaining dry areas. However, I also believe it may not be the most effective approach in all circumstances,particularly for those offenders with chronic alcohol issues. I note with interest the government'sresponse to recommendation 5 of the Reynolds review:
SA Health with South Australia Police will consider the practicalities and the resource implications of diversionary programs for breach of dry area controls in the circumstances.
I look forward to the outcome of those considerations. It is important that legislative frameworks arewell supported by effective policy and programs. Achieving this balance is critical to delivering on theprinciples of the Public Intoxication Act. Without effective community support and a governmentcommitted to preventative health measures, we will continue to fail our most vulnerable.


Today's business environment is as challenging as ever for a medical device OEM. To reduce costs and stay competitive, OEMs must continually evaluate different options. To meet their devices' design requirements, supply chain managers must manage a fragmented, specialized supply base with varying capabilities. For OEMs requiring extrusions and secondary operations from different sources, juggling multiple suppliers and longer lead times is a challenge. For OEMs performing the secondary operations in-house, costs can also be high. Let's consider a couple of actual case study problems — and their solutions.
A medical OEM depended on two different suppliers for tubing with a ground feature. The extrusion from the first supplier was ordered, received and inspected. Next, it was repacked and shipped across the country to another supplier who performed the secondary operation. The second supplier then sent the ground tubing back across the country to the OEM who received, inspected, repacked and shipped it to an assembler in the Midwest.
The logistical complications of two suppliers were costing the OEM dearly, both in time and money. The solution was to choose an extruder who could supply the tubing with the ground feature. The OEM chose Vesta. Vesta worked closely with the OEM, eliminating the need to qualify and manage multiple suppliers, reducing the number of inspections and saving high cross-country freight costs. The result was a lower total cost for the finished piece.
A medical OEM purchased a precision extrusion requiring a tipped end from a supplier who couldn't perform the tipping operation. Instead, the OEM used internal engineering resources and lab equipment to perform the tipping operation.
The OEM soon realized that the cost of bringing the work in-house had been greatly underestimated. The solution was to source the tubing from a supplier who could perform both the tipping operation and the tube extrusion. They chose Vesta, and eliminated the direct and overhead costs of doing the tipping operation in house. The result freed up valuable engineering resources and capital for other projects.
What material requirements do I need to detail on my specifications or drawings to ensure regulatory compliance?
In our last e-newsletter, we focused on the importance of properly defining materials and formulas to ensure proper traceability and change control.
In this e-newsletter, we focus on the importance of properly defining 1) critical features and 2) measurement methods to ensure consistent fit and function.
1) When designing a medical device, it's important to determine which features are critical to its design and overall performance. Critical features are chosen subjectively based on the function and fit of your particular component. In contrast, non-critical dimensions may be areas of the part that are not close to mating assembly components, and do not affect the design intent or the overall performance of the device. Each critical feature needs to be properly detailed in your specifications. This includes nominal values and acceptable tolerances that define size, shape and sometimes physical properties.
2) Clearly defining how specified parameters of critical components are to be measured is as important as determining the critical dimensions themselves. Dimensions can be measured by contact methods such as mandrels and gauges, or by non-contact methods involving optical measuring devices. Results can vary depending on the method.
For example, when measuring the inner diameter of a tube with a pin gage or mandrel, you must consider that the inner diameter of the tube may not be perfectly round. The pin gauge or mandrel will measure the smallest diameter. When measuring that same tube with a non-contact system, the diameter of multiple axes are measured and then averaged. Which method is preferred? It depends on how your component is going to be used. It's best to choose a measurement method that correlates to the function and fit of your component in use.
Precisely defining both critical dimensions and measurement methods will ensure proper process control, change control and document traceability in the manufacturing of your device.
If you have questions about best measurement methods for your device, please contact our engineers at 414.423.0550.
Look for more information about issues of regulatory compliance and medical devices in the next issue of this newsletter.


We are happy to share that we just released Mailster v1.4.1.
We have made improvements to the "Blocked Email Addresses" feature which is a global setting (cross all your mailing lists) to protect you from SPAM. Previously you could already block single email addresses and email addresses begining with a certain phrase.
In order to make this even more flexible, we now also allow more flexible wildcard addresses.
Wildcard means, that only a part of the sender address has to be match - the domain and/or the local part (the name before the @-character) is checked for.
One example is the wildcard address *mail.ru - this mean, that all email addresses ending with @mail.ru will be filtered out.
Another example is the wildcard address no-reply@* - this means that all email addresses that start with no-reply@ will not be forwarded.
Read about the other improvements and bug fixes in our Mailster changelog.


China has the largest population and 2nd largest land mass in the world, making it a crucial component to the global economy. This blog will closely examine China in the media in regards to air pollution, as it relates to the theme of environmental degradation.
China's portrayal in English-language contemporary media is dependent on the specific issues of air pollution, which is seen as harmful and degrading to the environment. China is often portrayed with singular images and concepts instead of interconnected ideas, which condenses China to a one dimensional context. The portrayal of China by the media in the past three centuries has varied due to historical and political context ranging from colonialism, the cold war and rogue states. The historical and political past of China continues to be at the forefront of its imagery in a Western perspective.
The incidence of air pollution is an environmental concern currently facing China, particularly in the North-Eastern area. For approximately two decades, unrestricted economic expansion, increasing car ownership and devastating dependence on coal has resulted in major air pollution in urban areas such as Beijing.
Within the past years there has been a reported air quality reading beyond index in Beijing. In 2014, a pollutant PM2.5 level of 505 micrograms per cubic meter was recorded. PM2.5 is a pollutant that is severely toxic and known to cause health effects such as asthma, cancer, heart disease and decreased life expectancy. Environmental effects of PM2.5 include depleting soil nutrients, damaging forests and farm crops, increasing the acidity of water bodies and contributing to acid rain effects. The World Health Organization deemed this 2014 reading more than 20-times higher than the recommended 24-hour level.Prior to the beyond index reading, the Shanghai Social Science Academy published a report declaring that Beijing air quality is barely appropriate for human and environmental life. With a continual degradation in air quality, air pollution emerges as a key risk factor in China.
The dangerous increase in air pollution in Beijing in the past several years is a key concern leading to recognition worldwide. In recent contemporary media coverage, China is depicted as a driver of global economic growth due to its intensifying industrial and economic development. The expansion of industrial and economic development has led China to a fate of noxious air pollution.
This portrays the pursuit of growth at the cost of environmental health and well-being. Contemporary media coverage acknowledges economic growth in China and solely blames it for air pollution, but neglects to reference causes such as the pressure from major markets in the Western World.

Q: automatization of requests I need to carve out JSON-file from web interface for a certain time period. Notes' limit - 100. JSON-file consists from some events and timestamps, when events happened. If the response is too big, I get the notification in file - moreDataAvailable = True. To get other data which are not included in file that I already got, I need to make a new request with some changes in URL - to change the timestamp on timestamp of last event (receivedDateTime) increased it by 1 millisecond.
So, I've already wrote the request via Python with requests.get()
>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get(
...     'https://api.blablabla.com/event/eventstatuses?requestId=1234&datetype=received&starttime=2020-02-10T00%3A00%3A57.001Z&...'
... )
>>> json_response = response.json()
>>> print(json_response)

How I can to automatize my requests to carve out all data in requested period? (moreDataAvailable = False)
Is it possible to connect all downloaded JSONs, for example, in a one file to export it in a data warehouse?

A: You can just write a loop for this.
import time
timeout = time.time() + 60*5   # 5 minutes from now
while True:
    sendRequest()
    if time.time() > timeout:
        break
    time.sleep(60)   # Delays for 60 seconds. You can also use a float value.

def sendRequest():
  import requests
  response = requests.get(
    'https://api.blablabla.com/event/eventstatuses?
      requestId=1234&datetype=received&starttime=2020-02-
       10T00%3A00%3A57.001Z&...'
   )
  json_response = response.json()
  print(json_response)

Hrafn had the most liked content!
Am I misinterpreting the underlying test, or does this chart (https://www.overclockers.at/files/21-februar-2015_11-19_write_201045.png) (from https://www.overclockers.at/storage_memory/review-seagate-archive-hdd-v2-8tb_242172) show reasonable sustained sequential writes (at least up until 60% of the drive is written)?
Oddball question, and potential quick-and-dirty way to see if large sequential writes bypass the cache -- what happens when you attempt to write a single file, that is larger than the cache (e.g. a bluray disk image), to the disk? This should force the drive to show its true colours, and give little opportunity to mistake sequential data for random. I would also expect that backing up large numbers of largish disk images would be a valid use-scenario for a very large archive disk (meaning that if it gets indigestion doing this, it's got some problems for its core business).
So if the "no 'safe' write activity that can happen anywhere except the landing zone" scenario inevitably happens for sustained sequential writes, then how does the synthetic test avoid this? If the synthetic test avoids it, then avoidance must be at least possible, and the question becomes is avoidance the rule or the exception?
Surely that would only happen if the drive got heavily fragmented, or almost full? On a reasonably unfragmented drive, that has a reasonable amount of free space, the majority of free space should consist of wholly-unwritten shingled-blocks, shouldn't it? All writes would only result in rewrites if all blocks are partially written -- I suppose that this would be possible with a very large number of very small files and very poor garbage collection, but in reality?
I don't think he's saying they're slow under all sustained sequential writes ("And again as mentioned the synthetic test didn't show the sustained sequential drop"), just some of them ("but the single drive Veeam and separate RAID1 rebuild figures did"). My assumption (based on some ambiguous wording in the Skylight report) is that the drive may have the capability to bypass the cache and do sustained sequential writes directly to the shingled drive (avoiding the cache's potential bottleneck for sustained writing), but that some circumstances lead it to treat apparently-sequential data as 'random' and still use the cache.
I think the on-disk write cache is in fact 20GB (and the 20MB is just a typo). I'm also wondering if the slow RAID-rebuild/Veeam speeds are indicative of general sustained sequential write speeds, or an an artifact of some idiosyncacy of the processes involved.
What are the sustained sequential write stats for this drive? I don't remember seeing any in the review. I would have thought that it would bypass the cache for such writes, writing them directly to the shingled portion of the drive (and the Skylight report certainly implied that this was a likely strategy).
This paper ( https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast15/technical-sessions/presentation/aghayev ) gives a more detailed explanation of the drive's behaviour, and especially its vulnerability to sustained random writes. If that's a significant part of what you want to use a drive for, then it's clear that this drive isn't for you. Whether this category covers "most end users" is an open question. One interesting idea I did see floated on another forum to improve SMR's performance even further was to make it a hybrid drive, with the drive's SSD acting as the drive's persistant cache.
I think my home video library case covers my specific interest -- 'cool' (a reasonable amount of turnover, so not-quite-cold) storage of largish (100MB+) files. Generally redundency would be a depreciated issue, as files tend to be non-unique and can be restored by re-ripping from optical media and/or redownloading in the case of disk failure. I would suspect that such usage would predominate multi-TB disks in home computers (it's quite difficult to fill them up otherwise). Beyond that, I think there's a general interest in finding out how much of a limitation the drive's unique technology places on its utilisation. Database and RAID setups that require constant writing are clearly right out, but there's a wide continuum between that and the opposite extreme, using it as essentially a pseudo-tape-drive for pure cold storage and/or backup. There certainly seems to be quite a bit of buzz (as well as confusion/nervousness) from NAS-related forums about this drive. I'd also mention that nobody appears to have done a serious review of this drive as yet. I suspect that quite a number of people may be holding off on buying one until an expert has put it through its paces.
Another week, and still no review.
Any idea when the review is coming out? It was originally going to be "out next week" a couple of weeks ago.
As well as 'cold storage' archives, it would be interesting to see how suitable these disks are for a home computer's 'video library' -- which would generally consist of large sequential files, which would generally be created and deleted as a single unit, but whose timeframes may be more likely to be months (movies) or days (this week's television programmes) rather than a true cold storage scenario. This would also make the size of the rewriting 'bands' a matter of interest. If relatively small (64-100MB) this should not adversely affect the drive's usage for this purpose, if significantly larger (e.g. 1GB), it might (moving the driver closer to purist Write-Once-Read-Many in its utilisation). I look forward to reading the review.


Video footage from 1999-2000 was used to make a video for Comes Around Goes Around from the Destination CD. It was mostly completed back then, but the tools I had to do the job were not as good as I wanted. So, the video was shelved and with so many things going on, I never got back to it. It's still not very good quality because the footage was taken from VHS tape and the tape was not in that good of condition. I remastered the audio for the song and replaced the mono version in the video. Anyway the footage was shot in Marion, Ohio (Club 151 at that time) and Milford, Deleware (a band road trip).
Video footage from 2001 shot at Merry Melodies in Columbus, Ohio was used for I Don't Feel You Anymore from the Psychosomatic CD. I again, remastered the audio of the song and made the video.

Europe: Switzerland Creates "Solar Islands" for Renewable Energy
Swiss scientists have devised a remarkable technology for floating islands of solar panels, and three are set to launch in beautiful Lake Neuchâtel this summer.
(Solar Island proposal by Viteos/Nolaris)
When it comes to renewable energy, it seems that islands are definitely the future. This at least according to two Swiss companies, Nolaris and Viteos, who have partnered to develop ingenious floating "islands" covered in photovoltaic panels.
Renowned for their superior mechanical skills, it's no wonder that the Swiss were the first to invent this simple-yet-elegant solution for generating inexpensive CSP (concentrated solar power). Measuring 25 meters in diameter, each island will be covered with 100 panels and form a test case for the effectiveness of water-based solar energy systems.
According to Wired magazine, the creative and space-efficient idea has been under development since 2008, and is now ready to implement on a test basis. The Lake Neuchâtel installation will serve as a laboratory for studying the most effective ways to harness solar energy on water.
For such a futuristic technology, the mechanism behind it is as old as the steam engine, which powered boats and locomotives throughout the 19th century. Water heated by the island's panels turns to steam, sent through a pipeline to turbines onshore, producing clean and renewable electricity.
One of the most creative elements of the project is that, like a sunflower, the islands will rotate throughout the day to maximize the amount of sun reaching the panels. Anchored by cables to the lakebed, they will have a rotation of 220 degrees at a 45 degree incline.
The late researcher Thomas Hinderling, a pioneer in the field of microtechnology at the prestigious Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM), first sparked interest in solar islands when he stated that, scaled to a mile across, they could potentially generate 190 megawatts of power at a cost far lower than current systems.
The United Arab Emirates was the first country to leap on board the innovation; in 2009, the UAE government spent US $5 million funding a scaled-down prototype of 100 meters across. Providing that the technology could compete with the cost and reliability of electricity, the UAE would look to use it on a widespread basis.
For Switzerland, it's just one more technological marvel to be proud of. "It's the biggest precision mechanism Swiss technology has ever made," described CSEM's Dr. Hamid Kayal, who ran UAE solar project. If the islands work effectively in the less-sunny climes of Europe, it could also be one of the country's most important innovations.

The Namdaemun gate, South Korea's No. 1 national treasure, was opened to the public Tuesday, one year after it was destroyed by arson.
The 600-year-old Namdaemun, or Sungnyemun, gate in Seoul is South Korea's most cherished landmark. Last year, on Feb. 10, an arsonist set fire to the gate, destroying the two-tiered, wooden pagoda structure above its stone base and shocking the Korean people. "With our history of 5,000 years, the spirit of Koreans and part of ourselves was destroyed," wrote JoongAng Ilbo, a daily paper.
The South Korea government, which was criticized for not protecting the structure well enough, embarked on a four-year, $20-million restoration of the gate, which uses about 3,000 pieces of wood salvaged from the blaze. On Tuesday, the one-year anniversary of the fire, officials held a one-day exhibition at the gate.
The exhibition gave Koreans their first look at the gate since the fire. Many were still saddened by the state of the historic landmark. "I still feel like crying when I think about it. This gate is the post that holds South Koreans together," said one woman to the Los Angeles Times.
Time: Can Korea Protect Its Historical Sites?
Sungnyemun, better known as Namdaemun, served as the main gate through the walls surrounding Seoul from 1398 to the early 20th century, when the walls were demolished. The gate was left standing and was designated the country's first national treasure in 1962.
On Feb. 10, 2008, 69-year-old Chae Jong-gi, angry with the government over a land deal, set fire to the gate with three bottles of paint thinner and two cigarette lighters. The fire burned for six hours as Seoul citizens looked on it horror and wept.
According to the Los Angeles Times, "Chae later told police that he chose Sungnyemun because of the lax security—motion detectors that were easy to evade." He was sentenced to 10 years in jail, and the Times quoted the judge as ruling that Chae, "inflicted unbearable agony on the people and damaged national pride."
