I'm not going to beat around the proverbial bush with this one, as they say, and I'll cut right to the chase for you. I had never heard ratbath before this cassette but I decided to take a chance and listen to it because not only is it on Fox Food Records (who I feel puts out quality sounds) it also came with a 'you are the universe' 'zine hand-made by Karlie Efinger (who is ratbath), a print of a poem by Becca Uliasz and a small surprise, which in this case turned out to be a lollipop for me.
The songs on here have an acoustic sound- maybe an acoustic guitar, but probably mostly based around the ukelele- and as such they remind me of something between I Kill Cameron and Heavy Boots, which is quite a place to be for someone I am hearing for the first time. It came as no surprise to me that when I went to find the information for this cassette on Bandcamp, after listening to it, that it would be sold out, but hey, you can still download these songs at a name-your-price option and be on the look out for future ratbath releases.
I feel like lyrically these songs are easy to relate to, but I'm not sure if they're just easy for me to relate to and if maybe they don't have that universal appeal but since I'm listening to it does it really even matter? The song "cereal box" is something I like because she does sing about a cereal box and, well, I kind of collect cereal boxes so there is this personal sort of connection there for me, like maybe I'm not the only one who does and this song could somehow bring us all together. Plus there is a Pokemon reference in that song as well.
What you have to understand about the songs on "dead skin cells" is that they are rather reserved. I don't know the person behind them in real life and I know that the person in real life versus the music they make can always be different anyway, but the music just makes me think of someone who is shy and quiet. But yet, at the same time, they're really saying something you should be listening to no matter how closely you have to pay attention to them.
I just think of that band that decides to play as loud as they can and yet their songs don't really say anything, you know, this is kind of the opposite of that. They are the type of songs which you may not hear often but when you do you can recognize them as being something special. In that way, I think of ratbath as being one of those people who doesn't say a lot- you know, not always out there running their mouth because they enjoy the sound of their own voice- but when ratbath does speak you should be sure and listen.

Testing Scratch Resistance Beyond the Surface
New tests do more than scratch the surface of automotive coatings.

KEYWORDS adhesives in automotive
Know that sickening feeling when you exit the grocery store and find your car has been banged up by a runaway shopping cart? One day, these memories may represent just a bad memory if auto body manufacturers make use of a new suite of tests developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and three industry partners. Data from these tests could eventually help vehicle exteriors better defend themselves against dings, dents, scratches and things that go bump on the highway.
In a new paper in the journal Progress in Organic Coatings,1 researchers at four organizations—NIST and industry partners Eastman Chemical Co., the Hyundai America Technical Center and Anton Paar USA—describe three versions of a fast, reliable laboratory method for simulating scratching processes on automobile clearcoats (the uppermost, or surface, layer of an exterior polymer composite coating). The tests are designed to give manufacturers a better understanding of the mechanisms behind those processes so that future coating materials can be made more scratch resistant and resilient.
Stronger is Better
Stronger, more robust coatings are important to meet both consumer and industrial demands. For example, statistics show that: people are keeping their cars longer and want them to stay attractive (those owning cars for more than two years rose 41% from 2006 to 2015); nearly 600,000 drivers work for ride-sharing services in the U.S. that require them to maintain vehicle appearance; improved paint durability is consistently among the top-three performance requirements for original equipment manufacturers; and 60% of all consumer complaints about autos are attributed to paint scratches and chip imperfections.
Currently, automobile coating manufacturers use two simple test methods to evaluate clearcoat scratch resistance and predict field performance: the crockmeter and the Amtech-Kistler car wash. The former is a device that uses a robotic "finger" moving back and forth with varying degrees of force to mimic damage from human contact and abrasive surfaces, while the latter is a rotating wheel of brushes that simulates the impact of car washes on clearcoats.
"Unfortunately, both methods only assess clearcoat performance based on appearance, a qualitative measure where the results vary from test to test, and they don't provide the quantitative data that scientifically helps us understand what happens to auto finishes in real life," said NIST physicist Li Piin Sung, one of the paper's authors. "We demonstrated a test method that characterizes scratch mechanisms at the molecular level because that's where the chemistry and physics happen … and where coatings can be engineered to be more resilient."
Testing on a Nano Level
For their test method, the researchers first tapped a diamond-tipped stylus across the surface of a polymer composite sample to map its morphology. Next, they used the stylus to create a scratch, and then retapped and remapped the surface. Three different scales of scratch tests—nano, micro and macro—were conducted using different sized tips and different ranges of force.
The quantitative differences between the pre-scratch and post-scratch profiles, along with microscopic analyses of the scratches, provided valuable data on vulnerability to deformation (How deep does the scratch go?), fracture resistance (How much force does it take to crack the composite?) and resilience (How much does the material recover from the physical insult?).
NIST ran the nano-scratch test with a tip radius of 1 micrometer (a micrometer is a millionth of a meter, or about one-fifth the diameter of a strand of spider silk) and a force range between 0 and 30 micronewtons (a micronewton is a millionth of a newton, or about 20 millionths of a pound of force). Anton Parr did the micro-scratch test with a 50-micrometer tip and a force range between 25 micronewtons and 5 newtons (equivalent to 5 millionths of a pound to 1.25 pounds of force), while Eastman Chemical performed the macro-scratch test with a 200-micrometer tip and a force range between 0.5 and 30 newtons (equivalent to one-tenth of a pound to 7.5 lbs of force).
When scratches in the clearcoat are a few micrometers in depth and width, and occur without fracture, they are referred to as mars. According to Sung, these shallow, difficult-to-see deformations are most often the result of car washing. She explained that the nano-scratch test performed at NIST provided the best data on the mechanisms of marring and light scratches, while the micro- and macro-scratch tests conducted by NIST's partners were better at yielding detailed information about the larger, deeper and more visible deformations known as fracture scratches—the injuries caused by keys, tree branches, shopping carts, and other solid objects.
"Data from the nano-scratch test also proved best for determining how well the coating responded to physical insult based on its crosslink density, the measure of how tightly the polymer components are bound together," Sung said. "With this molecular-level understanding, clearcoat formulas can be improved so that they yield materials dense enough to be scratch resistant and resilient, but not so hard that they cannot be worked with easily."
The researchers concluded that to get the truest evaluation of clearcoat performance, the nano-, micro- and macro-scratch tests should be conducted in conjunction with the current industry standard methods. "That way, one gets the complete picture of an auto body coating, both qualitatively and quantitatively characterized, so that the tougher coatings created in the lab will work just as well on the road," Sung said.

CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY: There were no changes in clinical signs or mortality.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN: Body weights in male rats were decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Terminal body weights were approximately 545 grams, 520 grams, 475 grams, and 315 grams in the control, 750, 1500, and 3000 mg/kg/day, respectively (results were approximated from a figure). In females, body weight was only significantly reduced in the high-dose group, but the differences were not significant at terminal sacrifice. The body weight in females at 20 weeks (1 week before sacrifice) was approximately 400 grams, 385 grams, 382 grams, and 335 grams in the control, 375, 750, and 1500 mg/kg/day, respectively.
HAEMATOLOGY: Haematology was not measured in the males and no effects were noted in the females.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Clinical chemistry was not measured in the males and no effects were noted in the females.
URINALYSIS: Urinalysis was not measured in the males and no effects were noted in the females.
ORGAN WEIGHTS: Absolute and relative liver weights were increased in mid- and high-dose females (Table 1).
HISTOPATHOLOGY: The test compound caused perianal dermatitis (high-dose only) and stomach hyperplasia (mid- and high-dose) in the female rats (Table 2).
OTHER FINDINGS: There were no treatment-related effects on reproduction or sperm parameters in males. There were no effects on reproduction, gestation, or litter size in females. There was a dose-related decrease in pup weight that was significant in the 750 mg/kg/day group on postnatal day 4 only and in the 1500 mg/kg/day group from postnatal day 4 through postnatal day 21 but had recovered by postnatal day 90.
Effect level:
750 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
other: body weight
The decreased body weight in males was probably related to nephropathy that is typically produced in male rats exposed to hydrocarbon fuels. Although there were changes in liver weight in the females, this was not accompanied by any changes in clinical chemistry or liver histopathology so is likely not of biological significance.

The study LOAEL for systemic effects is 1500 mg/kg/day and the NOAEL for systemic effects is 750 mg/kg/day, based on reduced body weight in dams and in pups. The LOAEL for adult males rats exposed to JP-8 orally was 750 mg/kg/day due to changes in clinical pathology, body weight, organ weights and the same irritation seen in female rats. The reproduction NOAEL was 3000 and 1500 mg/kg/day in males and females, respectively.
This was a reproductive study performed in two parts. In the first part, males were treated for 70 to 90 days with 0 (1mL of distilled water), 750, 1500, or 3000 mg/kg/day of undiluted JP-8 jet fuel, then mated to untreated females (one female at a time). Males were gavaged throughout the cohabitation period and were returned to their individual cage after successful mating. In the second part of the study, female rats were administered the test compound at doses of 0 (1mL of distilled water), 375, 750, or 1500 mg/kg/day undiluted JP-8 jet fuel for 90 -day prior to mating, through mating, gestation, delivery, and lactation for a total of 21 week. During mating, they were housed with untreated males. Litters were standardized to 4 male pups and 4 female pups on postnatal day 5. Although those pups were used for neurobehavioral tests, the data was not provided in the study report.
There were no effects on clinical signs or mortality in either sex. Haematology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis were measured only in females without any effects noted. Body weights in male rats were decreased in a dose-dependent manner and was likely related to nephropathy that is specific in male rats treated with hydrocarbons. In females, body weight was only significantly reduced in the high-dose group. Absolute and relative liver weights were increased in mid- and high-dose females, but were not likely biologically significant due to the lack of changes in clinical chemistry or histopathology in the liver. The test compound caused perianal dermatitis (high-dose only) and stomach hyperplasia (mid- and high-dose) in the female rats (histopathology was not conducted on the males for this study because previous studies have indicated nephropathy). There were no treatment-related effects on reproduction or sperm parameters in males. There were no effects on reproduction, gestation, or litter size in females. There was a dose-related decrease in pup weight that was significant in the 750 mg/kg/day group on postnatal day 4 only and in the 1500 mg/kg/day group from postnatal day 4 through postnatal day 21 but had recovered by postnatal day 90.
The study LOAEL for systemic effects is 1500 mg/kg/day and the NOAEL for systemic effects is 750 mg/kg/day, based on reduced body weight in dams and in pups. The LOAEL for adult males rats exposed to JP-8 orally was 750 mg/kg/day due to changes in clinical pathology, body weight, organ weights and the same irritation seen in female rats.Changes in male rats may be complicated by the male rat-specific nephropathy produced after exposure to hydrocarbon fuels such as JP-4 and JP-8. The reproduction NOAEL was 3000 and 1500 mg/kg/day in males and females, respectively.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restrictions because it is an acceptable and well-documented study report.


SCOTRAIL said it has secured an extra ten Class 365 electric units for the Edinburgh-Glasgow Queen Street route, where Hitachi Class 385s have yet to enter service because of visibility problems caused by the design of their curved windscreens.
Some Class 170 diesels previously used on the route have been cascaded to England as a result of leases coming to an end, and the 365s will help to compensate for their departure.
ScotRail said the 365s would 'enter passenger service in the coming weeks', but no date has yet been fixed for the arrival of the rectified 385s.
ScotRail Alliance managing director Alex Hynes said: "I am delighted that we have secured an extra ten electric trains to boost the number of seats available by 17,200 a day.

What Happened to the Bill of Rights?
Written by: William Federer
"The National Government was itself the creature of the States… Yet today it is often made to appear that the creature, Frankenstein-like, is determined to destroy the creators." -President Dwight Eisenhower, Governors' Conference, June 24, 1957
The original thirteen States were afraid that the new Federal Government they just created might become too powerful, as King George's government had been.
Mercy Otis Warren wrote in Observations on the new Constitution, and on the Federal and State Conventions, 1788:
"The origin of all power is in the people, and they have an incontestable right to check the creatures of their own creation."
George Mason, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Virginia, refused to sign the U.S. Constitution because it did not put enough limits on the Federal Government.
George Mason's strong insistence that restrictive clauses be added to the Constitution to prevent an abuse of Federal power earned him the title 'Father of the Bill of Rights.'
The BILL OF RIGHTS, or First Ten Amendments, were ratified DECEMBER 15, 1791.
The PREAMBLE of the Bill of Rights stated:
"…the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added… RESOLVED…that the following Articles be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States, as Amendments to the Constitution of the United States…"
Twelve Amendments were approved by Congress, signed by Vice-President John Adams as President of the Senate, and Rev. Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, the Lutheran pastor elected a Congressman from Pennsylvania who was the First Speaker of the House.
These were sent to the States for their consideration.
After much heated debate in State Ratifying Conventions, the States settled on TEN AMENDMENTS which were intended to limit, not themselves, but the Federal Government.
These Amendments were to act, figuratively, as handcuffs on Federal power.
The FIRST AMENDMENT to limit the Federal Congress began:
"CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
During North Carolina's Ratifying Convention, Governor, Samuel Johnston argued, July 30, 1788:
"The people of Massachusetts and Connecticut are mostly Presbyterians… In Rhode Island, the tenets of the Baptists, I believe, prevail.
In New York, they are divided very much; the most numerous are the Episcopalians and the Baptists.
In New Jersey, they are as much divided as we are.
In Pennsylvania, if any sect prevails more than others, it is that of the Quakers.
In Maryland, the Episcopalians are most numerous, though there are other sects.
In Virginia, there are many sects… I hope, therefore, that gentlemen will see there is no cause of fear that any one religion shall be exclusively established."
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, who was appointed by James Madison, explained in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833:
"In some of the States, Episcopalians constituted the predominant sect; in other, Presbyterians; in others, Congregationalists; in others, Quakers… The whole power over the subject of religion is left exclusively to the State governments, to be acted upon according to their own sense of justice and the State Constitutions."
Regarding this, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Samuel Miller, January 23, 1808:
"I consider the Government of the U.S. as interdicted (prohibited) by the Constitution from inter-meddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises. This results not only from the provision that no law shall be made respecting the establishment or free exercise of religion, but from that also which reserves to the States the powers not delegated to the U.S..."
Jefferson continued:
"Certainly no power to prescribe any religious exercise, or to assume authority in religious discipline, has been delegated to the General (Federal) government. It must then rest with the States as far as it can be in any human authority… I do not believe it is for the interest of religion to invite the civil magistrate to direct its exercises, its discipline, or its doctrines… Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the times for these exercises, and the objects proper for them, according to their own particular tenets."
The Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress prepared The Constitution of the United States of America-Analysis and Interpretation (Edward S. Corwin, editor, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, 1953, p. 758), which stated:
"In his Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833, Justice Joseph Story asserted that the purpose of the First Amendment was not to discredit the then existing State establishments of religion, but rather 'to exclude from the National Government all power to act on the subject.'"
Justice Joseph Story wrote in A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States, 1840:
"We are not to attribute this prohibition of a national religious establishment to an indifference to religion in general, and especially to Christianity (which none could hold in more reverence than the framers of the Constitution)…. Probably, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and of the Amendment to it now under consideration, the general, if not the universal, sentiment in America was, that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the State so far as was not incompatible with the private rights of conscience and the freedom of religious worship.
An attempt to level all religions, and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference, would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation…"
Story continued:
"But the duty of supporting religion, and especially the Christian religion, is very different from the right to force the consciences of other men or to punish them for worshipping God in the manner which they believe their accountability to Him requires…. The rights of conscience are, indeed, beyond the just reach of any human power. They are given by God, and cannot be encroached upon by human authority without a criminal disobedience of the precepts of natural as well as of revealed religion.
The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."
Thomas Jefferson stated in his Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1805:
"In matters of religion I have considered that its free exercise is placed by the Constitution independent of the powers of the General (Federal) Government. I have therefore undertaken, on no occasion, to prescribe the religious exercise suited to it; but have left them, as the Constitution found them, under the direction and discipline of State and church authorities by the several religious societies."
Things began to change with the 14th Amendment.
In 1889, John Bouvier's Law Dictionary (Philadelphia, J.B. Lippincott Co.) gave the definition of "RELIGION" and then hinted of the novel use of the 14TH AMENDMENT:
"'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof'… By establishment of religion is meant the setting up of state church, or at least conferring upon one church of special favors which are denied to others… The Christian religion is, of course, recognized by the government, yet…the preservation of religious liberty is left to the States… This provision and that relating to religious tests are limitations upon the power of the (Federal) Congress only… Perhaps the Fourteenth Amendment may give additional securities if needful."
The 14th Amendment was passed July 28, 1866, to force Southern Democrat States to give rights to freed slaves.
But in solving one problem it created another.
Republican Congressman John Farnsworth of Illinois stated of the 14th Amendment, March 31, 1871:
"The reason for the adoption (of the 14TH AMENDMENT)…was because of…discriminating… legislation of those States… by which they were punishing one class of men under different laws from another class."
The 14th Amendment was sponsored by Republican Congressman John Bingham of Ohio.
When asked if he feared the 14th Amendment might open the door for the Federal Government to usurp rights away from the States, Rep. John Bingham replied:
"I repel the suggestion...that the Amendment will…take away from any State any right that belongs to it."
Nevertheless, shortly after the 14th Amendment was ratified, activist Federal Judges began to do just that.
Darwinist philosopher Herbert Spencer influenced Harvard Law School dean Christopher Columbus Langdell to apply evolution to the legal process.
Rather than upholding the intent of those who wrote the laws, Langdell taught that laws could evolve through a series of "case precedents."
There developed TWO ways to change laws.
The FIRST way to change laws requires motivating a majority of citizens to elect Congressmen and Senators, who in turn, need a majority to pass a law, which in turn needs to be signed by the President, who was elected by a majority.
The SECOND way to change laws is much easier. Simply find an activist judge who is willing to subtly change the definitions of words that are in existing laws.
This evolutionary view influenced Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., to challenge the traditionalist concept that the Constitution should only be changed by 2/3's of the States approving Amendments.
Federal Courts gradually began to use the 14th Amendment to change the role of the BILL OF RIGHTS, particularly the first eight Amendments, from limiting the Federal Government to limiting the State Governments.
Federal Judges used the 14th Amendment, along with an expanded reading of the "commerce clause," to remove from States' jurisdiction responsibility over trade disputes, union strikes, and even what farmers could grow on their own farms.
Federal Court cases included:
Freedom of speech and press,
Gitlow v. New York, 1925 (re: Socialists) and Fiske v. Kansas, 1927 (re: Unions);
Freedom of press, Near v. Minnesota, 1931 (re: anti-Catholics); and
Freedom of assembly,
DeJonge v. Oregon, 1937 (re: Communists).
Federal Judges used the 14th Amendment to remove from States' jurisdiction responsibility for freedom of religion in cases regarding Jehovah's Witnesses:
Cantwell v. Connecticut, 1940;
Minersville School District v. Gobitis, 1940;
Jones v. Opelika, 1942;
Taylor v. Mississippi, 1943;
Martin v. Struthers, 1943;
United States v. Ballard, 1944;
Saia v. New York, 1948; and
Niemotoko v. Maryland, 1951.
Cases of anti-Catholic discrimination were appealed to the Supreme Court:
Pierce v. Society of Sisters of Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, 1925, and Everson v. Board of Education, 1947.
Federal Courts gradually created a case by case "crucible of litigation" method (Wallace v. Jaffree, 1985) by which the First Amendment took on an increasingly anti-religious interpretation.
The Federal courts figuratively took the handcuffs off their wrists and placed them on the States.
Thomas Jefferson warned Charles Hammond, 1821, how Federal judges would be tempted to usurp power, 1821:
"The germ of dissolution of our…government is in…the Federal judiciary…working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow…until all shall be usurped from the States."
Ronald Reagan addressed the Alabama State Legislature, March 15, 1982:
"The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny."

2011 Honda CR-Z EX Navi, an AW Drivers Log
Driver's Log Gallery: 2011 Honda CR-Z
ASSOCIATE EDITOR JONATHAN WONG: As someone who is always keeping an eye out for a clean CRX Si to pop up, I can't help but be intrigued with this CR-Z. From a visual standpoint, it's quite clear that it harks back to the CRX with its split-level, rear-glass hatch and wedge styling. To my eye, it looks fantastic, and I know many Honda enthusiasts are thinking the same thing.
However, the one sticking point here is that it's a hybrid. What puzzles me is not that the CR-Z is a hybrid, but the fact that it is only available with the gas-electric powertrain. Being the only current hybrid to be offered with a manual transmission, I will say it's probably the most fun-to-drive hybrid that I've ever been in. The steering is incredibly fast (some may consider it twitchy), the brakes offer decent bite and pedal feel, the transmission is Honda slick and the suspension is fairly sporty.
I didn't get a chance to really throw it around much, but I can say that it's firm but still comfortable around town. The few quick maneuvers I did had the CR-Z display respectable composure around turns with some roll but good grip.
The 3D gauge cluster inside is attractive, and the gimmicky way the background colors change according to how efficient you're driving is sort of neat. Other touches such as the blue pearlescent shift boot and blue accent stitching on the steering wheel also look cool. As with most hatchbacks, there is good cargo space in the back with the rear trunk divider panel folded down. I know in Japan, Honda offers the CR-Z in a 2+2 setup, but I can't imagine anyone taller than 5-foot-1 fitting comfortably back there. There just isn't enough headroom.
I did sample all the driving modes the car had to offer, eco, normal and sport. Eco was just painfully slow and is only suited for congested urban driving, while normal was OK in most situations. The majority of my night was in sport with the gauge cluster glowing red the entire time as I hammered around town. Is it fast? No, not by a long shot, but it's quick enough to at least be somewhat entertaining.
I applaud Honda for doing this car. It's an admirable idea that isn't going to sell many units because think about: It's a hybrid, which is a niche, and a sporty two-seater, which is another niche within itself.
Now if the product planners at Honda are reading this, I think I speak for almost every Honda guy out there with this idea: Put the 2.0-liter, 197-hp I4 from the Civic Si in the CR-Z and I think you will have a winner. I'm not sure the suspension can handle that power, but I sure would love to find out.
EDITORIAL INTERN JAKE LINGEMAN: I drove the CR-Z for three days and I think I have a handle on what it's really about: The future.
The styling is cool and looks ahead of its time. Rear visibility, which bothered me at first, became more useful over the weekend as I learned how to ignore the plastic piece splitting the rear glass top hatch with the rear glass back piece. At first it seemed as if it blocked out half the road, but it's only a real problem on hills when it seems like you can't see enough.
The car is quick in sport mode, and even in normal it's not annoyingly slow. Eco mode is slow and made me feel bad for the cars behind me at a light. If you push the pedal down deep it'll go, but that defeats the purpose. However, I will say that the whole package with the changing gauge colors, the charge/assist gauge, and the eco score all promote efficient driving.
A note on the battery regeneration: For the brake regen to work, the car has to be in gear, with the clutch out. It also charges on deceleration. I haven't figured out whether it is better decelerating from a low gear or a high gear as they seem to get about the same charge. It's quick, too. Cruise in eco mode for 20 minutes, and the battery will recharge a quarter or more.
The stop/start feature functions almost imperceptibly. But the car has to be in neutral with the clutch out. So the best procedure for efficient stopping is leave it in gear as you come to a stop and then drop into neutral for the stop/start. Neither of those were a habit on Friday, but by the end of the weekend, I think I was getting the most out of the little bugger.
COPY CHIEF WENDY WARREN KEEBLER: This is the best hybrid vehicle I've ever driven. Period. It looks fabulous, especially in bright red, and I got enthusiastic thumbs-up wherever I went in it, from people of a variety of demographics. Its appearance is certainly reminiscent of the CRX, which is a very good thing. It doesn't look like a hybrid, and, therefore, that's not why it attracts the attention it does.
Nor does it drive like a hybrid. With the manual transmission and its nimble handling, it is engaging and dynamic on the road. And hey, look at that nice price! The only complaint I have is the interrupted view through the split rear windshield, but I bet I'd get used to it.
ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR CHERYL L. BLAHNIK: Seems like everyone around the office just loves this car. When Wendy handed me the keys, she said it was so much fun and that I would just love it. I'm just not that fond of the styling. It reminds me too much of the old CRX, with the split windshield mixed in with such a tapered-looking back end.
The interior is nicely done with a futuristic feel with the changing lights. It was a lot roomier than I would have guessed, but the blind spots are really bad and I didn't feel comfortable changing lanes without triple shoulder checks.
But Wendy is right about how this car handles--it's good. There are three modes you can drive in, with each one being a different fuel-saver mode. I drove in all three but mostly kept it in eco. It was a dull drive experience, but the six-speed made it feel a bit better. But when you put it in sport mode, the car feels completely different and is a lot of fun to drive. Then there is also the normal mode and that wasn't too bad either--not as much punch as the sport mode, but not nearly as painful as driving in the eco mode.
So for those greenies out there who want a little fun, this car can provide it. It just depends on how fuel efficient you want to be.

Why Don't You List the AH Rating on the Scorpion Stinger Batteries?
Knowledge Base : Frequently Asked Questions : Powersports Batteries FAQ : Why Don't You List the AH Rating on the Scorpion Stinger Batteries?
This question has a very logical answer, but is a little hard to explain. Because these are LiFePo4 batteries that are able to use up to 96% of their actual capacity, rather than the typical 40% for starting lead-acids or up to 80% for deep cycle, it gets very difficult to communicate capacity in a market that is dominated by lead acid batteries. Some manufacturers have decided to deal with this issue by rating their batteries AH rating as a "Lead Acid Equivalent". While this does make some sense, it is neither accurate nor practical. I'll explain.
It is not accurate to rate a lithium battery in equivalency to "Lead Acid" because there are major differences in the usable capacity of a lead acid battery depending on the composition, the application, and the thickness of the plates. Most Lithium manufacturers, that use the "Lead Acid Equivalent" rating, compare their batteries to the lead acid batteries that their lithium battery would most likely be replacing. When most people see 'lead acid equivalent' they think that means equivalent to all lead acid batteries that share that same AH rating, rather than one specific lead acid battery. While this rating can be of some use, there is a fair amount of estimating in this formula.
Rating a lithium battery in "Lead Acid Equivalent" is also not practical. There are a couple of reasons that this is true. As I mentioned before, lead acid batteries have a variety of applications, and for each application there is a different 'type', or construction, of lead acid battery to meet the application. Lithium batteries do not function the same way. Unlike lead acid batteries which are under the Peukert Effect, lithium batteries can be used up to 96% of their real capacity every time, in a little or as much time as it takes to do so, with very slight exceptions. So, for an application like running an electric bike or powering a portable sound system, the same exact lithium cells can be used as are used to crank an engine. The problem arises when someone purchases a lithium battery that has been equivocated to a starting lead acid battery, and uses it for running an electric bike and finds out that the rated AH of 10 AH does not run their 1 amp motor for 10 hours. So, in other words, the exact same lithium battery could have a different AH 'lead acid equivalent' rating depending on the lead acid battery used to compare it to. I.E. "Lead acid equivalent" is a relative rating with no real standardized plum line and can be extremely misleading.
Because of the appearance of mis-information that the "Lead Acid Equivalent" rating can give, some of the other lithium manufacturers have chosen to rate the 'true capacity' of their lithium batteries instead. While this is great for people who are using these batteries for running motors, lights, fans and other deep cycle applications, it is not helpful for those starting engines. If Scorpion advertised a lithium battery than can easily spin over bored out V-twins, but is only listed as having 8.5 AH, people begin to get very confused. The lead-acid they pull out is listed as having 28 AH, so the must be no way that a 8.5 AH battery could possibly be enough. This leads us to how Scorpion has rated their batteries.
Scorpion Battery was faced with this dilemma. Either rate these Stinger batteries in an easily understandable "Lead-acid equivalent" that is not truly accurate, or rate them in a confusing 'real-capacity' that has no real bearing on the real world power sport experience. So they found a third option. Scorpion decided to not rate their batteries in AH ratings at all. Instead, they graph out the real performance of the batteries, side by side the best lead-acid and lithium batteries on the market. This gives you, the user, the confidence to know in a real world kind of way, exactly how much starting power your Scorpion Stinger has, without giving an confusing and seemingly inflated number, or a confusingly low number that is not practical.
Mark W. The lack of CCA info is concerning.. I understand your resistance to a comparable number. Graphs like dyno readings are subjective. You show a test graph vs a Shorai but it is at 70 deg F. Lots of batteries look good at that temp…lets see comparisons at 40 and at 20 degF..I have seen many batteries fall flat on their face when a cold start is needed.
Jeremy Mark, Good point, though as both batteries were at the same temperature the comparison is still valid. Lithium batteries are notoriously slow in the cold (-10C and below) so they are not recommended for use in Snowmobiles or in ATV's that are used in extreme cold. Since both the Shorai and the Stingers are lithium, that would apply to both.
JBV Does not fully answer the question. Not all batteries sold are for motor vehicle use. In that case, the "start up" power is not relevant and the AmHr or equal type rating would be nice to have. At least provide some sort of comparison.
It answers the question about why Scorpion has chosen not to do so. Scorpion only sells lithium batteries for Motor Vehicle use. Batterystuff ONLY recommends using the Scorpion for use in motor vehicles.


Established in April 2013 and situated in Bloomsbury, Dairy Art Centre is a public space for contemporary visual art. It is a private, non commercial, organisation founded by Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm, cementing their lifelong passion for art and their commitment to increasing access to the visual arts by opening up Dairy's exhibitions to the public for free, and through its newly created education and internship training programmes.
Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm have known each other for fifteen years and have previously worked together on a number of projects. Dairy Art Centre is their first collaboration that provides exhibition opportunities on a major scale.
Frank Cohen is one of the world's most influential and prolific collectors of international contemporary art. He began collecting Modern British art in the 1970s and in the early 1990s became a patron and supporter of the Young British Artists (YBAs). He also collected American and German art of the 1980s and 1990s and more recently has added contemporary Chinese and Indian art to his interests.
From 2007 to 2012 Cohen pioneered Initial Access, a foundation in Wolverhampton designed to exhibit and promote younger artists. An exhibition of his Modern British Collection featuring artists such as LS Lowry, Stanley Spencer, Edward Burra and Eduardo Paolozzi was held at Chatsworth in 2012, and he was member of the Turner Prize jury in 2003.
Nicolai Frahm grew up in Copenhagen in a family collecting and showing post-war European art to the public at their private foundation. In 1997 he moved to London to set up for himself. Since then, he has earned a reputation as a leading collector, patron of the arts and successful art advisor.
Frahm's own collection draws on post-war European abstract art, as well as art from the late 1970s to present, and incorporates both emerging and established artists from America, Europe and Asia.
Jenny Jones, an internationally recognised architect, whose work includes groundbreaking projects such as the Prada Epicentre in New York City, has transformed the interior of Dairy Art Centre. Her sensitive adaptation highlights the building's unique, raw, industrial features with high ceilings and skylights, which provides a vibrant exhibition space for contemporary art. The history of the site as a once operating milk depository has been incorporated within the final plans, whilst introducing strong contemporary design features.
The building has been divided into various exhibition spaces offering diverse communal, artistic and curatorial opportunities: two main halls, a converted milk fridge, two outdoor sculpture yards, and future plans for an artist-designed milk bar and cafe, a book and media outlet, an education space and a design space.
Externally, John M. Armleder has conceived and designed an alternative frontage for the entrance. For the launch of the venue and as Dairy's first exhibiting artist, he created a sparkling glitter stencil of our logo. Applied, the commissioned signage glistens and catches the light to reveal a subtle rendering of 'Dairy'.

Parent Dispute Policy
The purpose of this policy is to explain to the Maryborough Education Centre (MEC) community how our school will approach disputes that may arise between parents in relation to decisions about their student's education.
MEC acknowledges and welcomes all family structures and parenting arrangements. We also recognise that parents and carers play an invaluable role in a student's learning and wellbeing by being actively involved in school life.
While acknowledging that a range of people may be involved in providing care for students at our school, this policy only relates to disputes between a student's parents or persons with parental responsibility under a court order.
Informal Carers
MEC understands that there may be families in our school community where students are being cared for by a relative or other adult, rather than their parents.
In these circumstances, in order to allow these carers to work with MEC and make decisions about the student's education, we may ask carers to complete an Informal Carer Statutory Declaration Form. This is a written statement that sets out the care arrangements for the student.
Generally, an informal carer who has provided the school with a completed Informal Carer Statutory Declaration may make school-based decisions for the student and may access school information ordinarily provided to a parent.
Decision-making and parental responsibility
Parental responsibility is defined as all of the duties, powers, responsibilities and authority, which, by law, parents have in relation to their student. Each parent of a student under 18 years of age has parental responsibility for his or her child unless this responsibility is varied by a court order or parenting plan.
When a decision relates to a major long-term issue for a student, MEC will generally seek to approach both parents, or those who have parental responsibility, in relation to that decision (where those parents are known to and are in contact with the school).
For day-to-day decisions, MEC will generally approach the person with whom the student is living with or residing with on that day.
Parents can find more guidance on how the school will manage decision making for students in the Department's policy on 'Decision Making Responsibilities for Students'.
Family Law Act Orders and Care Arrangements
Parents are responsible for providing MEC with up-to-date information and documentation relating to:
Family Law Act Orders
informal arrangements that are in place in respect for students of our school.
It is not the responsibility of school staff to monitor or to enforce Family Law Act Orders (or other parenting or care arrangements) for students.
Intervention Orders
MEC understands that some families may have Family Violence Intervention Orders in place.
Parents are responsible for providing MEC with up-to-date information and documentation relating to Intervention Orders and should contact the appropriate Assistant Principal on 03 54617900, to discuss how staff can best support students in these circumstances. Should your Intervention Order be changed or varied, it is important that you inform the school and provide any updated documentation.
Department policy states that breaches of Intervention Orders should be reported to Victoria Police.
Enrolment and transfer
If parents who have equal shared parental responsibility disagree on the decision to enrol a student, MEC may:
defer admission and request that parents resolve their dispute and reach an agreement, or
if failure to enrol the student or young person is likely to have an adverse effect on their education and wellbeing, MEC may conditionally enrol the student and encourage the parents to resolve their dispute and reach agreement.
MEC understands that Family Law Act Orders or parenting plans will often include arrangements about which parent is to spend time with the student, and when.
Generally, providing that both parents have shared parental responsibility, parents can collect their student from school. Whilst MEC encourages parents to abide by Family Law Act Orders, school staff are not responsible for enforcing them.
If a dispute between parents over the collection of a student happens at MEC, generally, we will:
encourage the parents to resolve their dispute away from school
encourage to parents to ensure the student's attendance at school is not compromised as a result of the dispute over collection
where appropriate, move the student to a safe place away from the dispute
ask the disputing parties to leave the school grounds if the dispute is causing disruption or concern to the student or any other members of the school community
if the dispute cannot be resolved, MEC may contact Victoria Police and/or Child Protection.
Parents are generally entitled to information ordinarily provided to parents, including school reports and newsletters.
Parents seeking information that is not ordinarily provided to parents are encouraged to apply for access through the Freedom of Information process, or, if the information is sought for use in court proceedings, by issuing a subpoena.
Freedom of Information requests should be directed to:

Managing Disputes
Whenever faced with a dispute between persons who are responsible for decision-making in relation to a student, staff at MEC will seek to:
avoid becoming involved
avoid attempting to determine the dispute
act neutrally and not adopt sides
act in the best interests of the student involved
act in the best interests of the school community.
MEC encourages parents and carers to seek the assistance of the Family Relationship Centre or obtain independent legal advice if they are unable to reach an agreement about important decisions.

Q: How to compare an object against an array of objects where positions of some values won't be the same Please note that I am still a beginner in Javascript, any feedback on my logic below would be appreciated.
(This code is being written for Zapier) I am trying to create a search feature to find a contact in a list of contacts.
Static information is mobile, first name and last name. Then the list can contain up to 10 custom fields (that can be named anything the user wants). When making the API call to return the information, the custom field names are stored in a "fields" object, with key/vale pairs of field_n = "Name". The values are then use in the recipients object where the contact information is stored.
I was thinking the easiest way would be to create an object that would store the information the user is searching by:
var dataEntered = {
    "mobile" : ,
    "firstName" : ,
    "lastName" : ,
    "custom1" : ,
    "custom2" : ,
    "custom3" : ,
    "custom4" : ,
    "custom5" : ,
    "custom6" : ,
    "custom7" : ,
    "custom8" : ,
    "custom9" : ,
    "custom10" :
};

function checkData () {
    if (mobile !== null) dataEntered.mobile = mobile;
    if (firstName !== null) dataEntered.firstName = firstName;
    if (lastName !== null) dataEntered.lastName = lastName;
    if (custom1 !== null) dataEntered.custom1 = custom1;
    if (custom2 !== null) dataEntered.custom2 = custom2;
    if (custom3 !== null) dataEntered.custom3 = custom3;
    if (custom4 !== null) dataEntered.custom4 = custom4;
    if (custom5 !== null) dataEntered.custom5 = custom5;
    if (custom6 !== null) dataEntered.custom6 = custom6;
    if (custom7 !== null) dataEntered.custom7 = custom7;
    if (custom8 !== null) dataEntered.custom8 = custom8;
    if (custom9 !== null) dataEntered.custom9 = custom9;
    if (custom10 !== null) dataEntered.custom10 = custom10;
};

Then loop through the list and assign it to an array of objects:
var listData = [{
    "mobile" : ,
    "firstName" : ,
    "lastName" : ,
    "custom1" : ,
    "custom2" : ,
    "custom3" : ,
    "custom4" : ,
    "custom5" : ,
    "custom6" : ,
    "custom7" : ,
    "custom8" : ,
    "custom9" : ,
    "custom10" :
}];

for (var i = 0; i < contacts.length; i++) {
    listData[i].mobile = contacts[i].msisdn;
    listData[i].firstName = contacts[i].first_name;
    listData[i].lastName = contacts[i].last_name;
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_1] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_1];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_2] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_2];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_3] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_3];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_4] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_4];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_5] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_5];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_6] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_6];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_7] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_7];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_8] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_8];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_9] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_9];
    if (contacts[i][obj.fields.field_10] !== undefined) listData[i].custom1 = contacts[i][obj.fields.field_10];
}

However, where i'm stuck is that the custom data in the list, may not match the order of how the user enters it.
From doing some research it appears the easiest way to return a match is if the two objects have the key/values to compare in the same order.
Am I on the right track for the best way to do this?

A: Yes, but you should really use a map data structure to do this. then you can just iterate through the fields and set them (see the link for examples on how to initialize and add data to a map.)
var map = new Map();

for(var i < 0; i < map.length; i++)
{
   map["custom" + "i"] = bundle.search_fields["custom_field" + i.toString()];
}
//you can add the other fields here too.

Q: Моргание модели при анимации Добрый день, я еще зеленый в Opengl и возможно всего не понимаю, но у меня происходит моргание модели при ее анимации с включенной двойной буферизацией. Ниже предоставлю ссылку на код, т.к сюда весь не влезет. У меня здесь нарисован танчик и его развороты, но пока они не до конца работают, а также танчик стреляет и в этом идет сама проблема, описанная выше. Помогите, пожалуйста.
http://qtxt.ru/tanks
A: procedure TfrmGL.FormPaint(Sender: TObject); если у вас это привязано к событию onPaint, то это неверно...
Рисовать нужно именно по таймеру (в вашем случае).
procedure TfrmGL.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
y:=y+z;
refresh;        <---- неверно
FormPaint(self);<---- верно
end;

Ну и соответственно убрать данное событие из onPaint

The company also strives to stay on the cutting edge of technology and to develop designs to meet changing environmental and cliental requirements.


Place these external retaining rings onto the outer surface of shafts to form a shoulder that holds components in place along the shaft while allowing rotation.
Pry apart the lugs of these rings with retaining ring pliers and slide the ring into a groove.
Also known as E-clips, these rings have three prongs that fit into the groove of a shaft and provide a wide shoulder for retaining assemblies. They're the most commonly used style of external retaining ring.
Wind these spiral rings into the groove on a shaft. They don't require any tools for installation and make full contact with the groove, leaving no gap.
No groove required. Push these self-locking retaining rings into position and they grip onto the shaft. They work best in permanent installations.
Use crescent rings in low-clearance spaces and other areas where access is limited. They have a small shoulder for light duty use.
Slide these split retaining rings into a groove, then squeeze them closed using standard pliers for a 360° closure. To remove, press the lugs.
The wide ears of poodle retaining rings offer a larger retention surface than other styles. They can generally handle higher thrust loads than E-style rings.

In this year's show, SyTech demonstrated the RIOS Lite Android application featuring (1) interoperable radio communications, (2) remote system control and (3) two-way streaming video within a secure environment.
In addition to the tradeshow exhibit, APCO officials coordinated a guided tour with APCO attendees and the SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority) Emergency Operation Center to display the capabilities of the SEPTA RIOS in downtown Philadelphia.
