An Afternoon at Adult Film Star Stoya's Now-Virtual Book Club
At the monthly gathering of Sex Lit, the goal is to try some smut that tickles both the mind and loins
"Has anyone else been in a room where people spontaneously started fucking?" pornographer and author Stoya asked during the April installment of her book club, Sex Lit, while discussing Guy New York's 600-plus page erotic novel Disgusting Beautiful Immoral.
The question wasn't a random query, but one related to the novel, which prompted a range of answers about how sex parties can (and do) get started in real life. During Sex Lit, the personal and the literary combine to create a space where sex in all its variations is open to be examined in ways that are rare in most of our culture.
Held over three hours on the third Sunday of the month, usually at Brooklyn's Gemini & Scorpio Loft (admission: $20), Sex Lit has moved to Zoom for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic (and will continue to have an online component, open to participants worldwide, once in-person meetings return). It began in 2017, and it's the brainchild of Stoya and co-producer Larisa Fuchs, founder and director of event production company House of Scorpio, which "creates pansexual sex-positive events for humans of all genders."
The first book club, discussing one of Stoya's favorite novels, Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye, was meant to be a one-off. But it drew around 50 people, and led them to expand it to a monthly occurrence. Many are regulars of House of Scorpio's other sex-positive events, but a core "micro-community" has formed around Sex Lit, says Fuchs. So much so that "there are definitely guests at this point who feel integral to the monthly discussion."

Sex Lit promises "a rousing discussion of an explicitly erotic book," and that's exactly what it delivers. (Full disclosure: I participated in January when an erotic anthology I edited was being discussed.) In April, two dozen readers engaged in a freewheeling discussion of Disgusting Beautiful Immoral, which bills itself as "a kinky thrill ride through New York City just as the millennium was ending."
Stoya is equal parts reader and leader. She freely shares her thoughts, opinions and personal stories, but makes space for anyone else who chooses to do the same. On Zoom, the three hours (with one 15-minute break) moved without any lulls, delving into a sprawling, spirited exploration of whether the narrator was a fuccboi, what it's like to wait for STI test results, the response to COVID-19 versus AIDS, what being attractive means, the differences between a daddy and a dominant, why Governor Cuomo has become a daddy figure and how it really feels to be considered jailbait, among other topics.
In the beginning, Stoya would come in with "pages of notes" to guide her if discussion petered out. Now, she says she mostly moderates, "reminding cis men to leave space for everyone else to talk" and "calling for further reactions to something that's been said."
Guy New York praised the group for its thoroughness. "Talking about erotica in public often feels a bit like a sideshow where I tend to have some level of defense up," he explained. "Sometimes it's hard to get past things like, 'You went to a sex party?' and into things like, 'How do you do age play responsibly?' or 'Do you prefer to be hit on the thigh or the clit?' Or even, 'What does it mean to call someone daddy?'"
Per Fuchs, "For authors, it's been historically difficult to sell and promote 'legitimate' literature that has a sexual focus, or even just explicit sexual encounters. Most end up using pseudonyms for that kind of writing and have a hard time getting the word out. We're trying to help break this stigma."
Over the years, the group has read everything from Nicholson Baker's House of Holes: A Book of Raunch to Joanna Angel's Night Shift to titles in Laura Antoniou's iconic BDSM series The Marketplace to Stoya's own essay collection, Philosophy, Pussycats & Porn, with occasional author appearances mixed in. "The author participation gives the Sex Lit group a chance to ask about things that squick them out, and praise the author for moments or concepts they loved," Stoya explains.
The classics — the aforementioned Bataille, A Spy in the House of Love by Anaïs Nin, and Story of O by Pauline Reage — tend to be the biggest draws. However, Stoya says, "Those authors are also the most problematic from the perspective of a very sex-positive group in 2020. So we'll get a room full of people, but then have intense debates about consent-culture sensibilities versus the fantasy aspect of most of these works."
Along those lines, one of Stoya's favorite parts of the club is "the way we use whichever text we're reading to talk about modern sexuality. We discussed Story of O at the height of #MeToo and it brought up a lot of concern about Réage's relationship with her boss during the writing of [it]. It was a pretty gendered split — women getting stuck on the greater context, and men wanting to deal with the book as a fantasy divorced from the conditions that produced it."
JT, a 38-year-old IT manager in Queens, has attended almost all of the Sex Lit events, originally drawn to them, of course, because of Stoya. "I appreciated the fact that while she was in the adult film industry, she also branched out and did a lot of cerebral type things," he explains, citing her Hysterical Literature video, in which she orgasms on-screen while reading Necrophilia Variations by Supervert.
The Story of O Sex Lit was among JT's favorites. Since this was an early meeting, there were still "people who were there more to look at Stoya than discuss the book." When a guy "interrupted her to mansplain something, she straight up called him out, proclaiming quite fervently, 'Excuse me, there's a woman speaking!' The crowd clapped and cheered enthusiastically." Since then, JT says, "except for the odd outlier, the people who have attended are generally more concerned about discussing the book and its themes in a serious but compelling way."
JT's partner, Kitty, who is also a regular Sex Lit attendee, adds, "Having an open and honest discussion of topics that usually get hush-hush treatment and shame attached to them is really refreshing. I also like the connection that can happen face-to-face with everyone, as opposed to the anonymity of internet forums."
When I ask Stoya how Sex Lit fits in with the rest of her work, she responds, "Pornography, in the original Greek, meant writing about prostitutes. Today, we tend to think of hardcore, explicit sex videos when we hear the word porn. I work with sexuality. Whether that's Sex Lit, [adult site] ZeroSpaces.com or the How to Do It column at Slate with Rich Juzwiak. I'm very interested in the space between porn and erotica, and in what exactly porn is. Can writing be porn? Can hardcore video be erotica?" Indeed, one of the first questions Stoya brought up at the April Sex Lit was whether Disgusting Beautiful Immoral is porn. (Hint: The answer is more complex than simply knowing it when you read it.)
While Sex Lit discussions get deep into the nitty-gritty of sex, there are rules of conduct that must be obeyed, with those who ignore them subject to removal from the group. "There was one attendee who continued to show people sexual photos on their phone after being repeatedly asked not to," recalls Stoya. "There was another person who kept touching me without asking first, but they stopped attending just before we were going to speak with them. And there was one man who kept talking over people and dragging us off topic who got a warning and stopped attending."
What I found refreshing about both Sex Lit events I've attended is how sex is treated with a level of intellectual respect and curiosity that's rarely found in the broader world, even in 2020. While the focus is on the book, it's inevitable for the discussion to veer from sex on the page to sex IRL. There's room, too, for differences of opinion regarding kinks and sexual interests without judging what turns someone else on. It's something JT values as well. "There's an openness that allows people to talk about things that they enjoy or are curious about without feeling like they're going to be ostracized, rejected or shunned," he tells me. "The fact that this extends to people from all over the gender spectrum allows for insight into perspectives that most men would never encounter, and it's opened a few minds, mine included."
As a bonus, being part of Sex Lit and reading books in a genre he initially had "disdain for," has improved JT's relationship with Kitty. "We have a bit of a tradition where I read the book for the book club out loud for the both of us, so it's led to another avenue of connection," he says. "It's given us a chance to explore subject matters that we've either never thought of, or even actively avoided. It's triggered some exploration of fantasies, difficult conversations in regards to certain tastes we've had and discoveries of interesting new ideas."

Q: Can I use generic repository type for npm registry? We are currently in the process of purchasing a license of Artifactory Pro, but the procurement process takes time in our organization. In order to build knowledge around Artifactory and NPM to use Artifactory, is there a way to front the NPM Registry with Artifactory using a Generic Repository Type?
Thank you

A: If you would like to use the NPM client with Artifactory, you will have to use the NPM repository type and not the Generic Repository Type.
You wont be able to use the Generic Repository Type with the NPM client, as the Generic Repository Type does not calculate metadata / index artifacts.
To configuring your NPM client to work with the NPM repository type, you may use the Artifactory Set me up functionality which will guide you how to configure the NPM client

DENVER — If you lived in Colorado during October 1997 then you probably remember one of the worst and deadliest blizzards to hit Colorado.
The storm hit on Oct. 24 and continued to pound the Front Range and eastern plains with several inches of snow through Oct. 25.
Snowfall totals across the Denver metro area ranged from 14-31 inches with the heaviest snowfall occurring in the foothills where 2-4 feet of snow fell over two days.
The storm produced 40-60 mph winds causing zero visibility as several major highways across the state shut down because of the strong wind and large drifts.
The snow left thousands of people without power or heat and hundreds of vehicles were stuck and stranded on Interstate 25, according to the LA Times.
Denver International Airport was impacted by the storm as people were trapped on Pena Boulevard, which blocked snowplows or other vehicles from entering or leaving the airport.
Authorities said at the time that some people were trapped in their cars at the airport for nearly 11 hours with others stranded inside the airport.
It wasn't just the snow – the cold was a factor too.
Wind chills during the storm ranged from -25 to -40 degrees.
At least four people died in Colorado as a result of the storm.
Check out more photos from the storm in our photo gallery below.

Netflix jumps 20% after shattering expectations
Roger Gain
Netflix just got some very good news.
Netflix just added 3.6 million members in the third quarter, shattering its own expectations for growth and silencing skeptics on Wall Street.
It now has more than 86 million subscribers. Netflix stock soared as much as 20% in after-hours trading following the news.
Three months ago, Netflix stock tanked after the company added just 1.7 million new subscribers in the second quarter. The weakness was driven primarily by poor growth in the U.S.
At the time, Netflix partly blamed the shortfall on users overreacting to a modest price hike on customers who had been grandfathered into lower rates.
But the shortfall and reaction to it was severe enough that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings apologized to investors "for the volatility." "It's time for me to apologize for the volatility again," Hastings said on an investor call Monday. "This time it's in a good direction."
Netflix saw renewed strength in the most recent quarter from its international markets, which accounted for 3.2 million new subscribers. Netflix had expected this segment to add 2 million subscribers for the quarter.
The streaming video company chalked up its better-than-expected performance to "excitement around Netflix original content."
Netflix has worked to attract customers by spending billions annually on premium original movies and shows like Stranger Things, the Get Down and Narcos.
All three shows performed well in international markets, according to chief content officer Ted Sarandos, indicating that Netflix's original content "is traveling well."
The company spent $4.9 billion on programming in 2015, according to a report from IHS Markit. By comparison, Amazon spent $2.6 billion.
Next year, Netflix says it expects to spend $6 billion on original content and release "over 1,000 hours" of its own programming, up from 600 hours in 2016.
In the United States, where Netflix launched nearly two decades ago, the service still appears to be nearing a saturation point. It added just 400,000 users in the U.S. last quarter.
However, Netflix has attempted to reinvigorate overall growth with an ambitious global expansion at the beginning of this year. It is now available in nearly every country except China.
Netflix's impressive subscriber growth also drove quarterly streaming revenue to top $2 billion for the first time in the company's history.

Please, help us make this directory of dance scholarships as complete as possible by sharing what you know. You will find a special form for this at the page.
It's been years since I first heard about the existence of Rudolph Steiner's Eurythmy (not Dalcroze's Eurhythmics but Steiner's Eurythmy). As the dancer and choreographer that I am, I had attended their soft dances with some curiosity for their way of moving and particular expressivity.
I also knew that there was some kind of philosophical system behind those choreographic forms but I had never had the opportunity to ask a dedicated practitioner about the passion for this special form of art of movement.
After a conference about the topic by Eurythmist Libertad Aguilar, I had a further conversation with her which made me understand something that I didn't know till then: eurythmic choreography is not about codified movements but about living a very special experience that she defined as of great contentment(with a sincere shining expression in her face while talking about it…).
Contemporary-dance.org: You said before that the body of the Eurythmist should not be very tonic because that would allow her/him a greater permeability. Do you cultivate some kind of relaxed physical state or some special muscular tonicity?
Libertad Aguilar: No, not all. For example, if someone who practices lifting weight wants to execute an eurythmic movement, s/he will have great difficulties. Eurythmy is about bringing a musical quality to the deepest within your self and transforming it into a living experience that becomes visible. You could learn the tones and the intervals and do it with your body, but you won't get anywhere until you live it and let it really pass through you. This happens thanks to a conscious repetition in which your body is permeated by the sounds and becomes more and more sensible. When someone has too much muscular tonicity, it is more difficult that movement can be fluid, which is the quality of the eurythmic movement.
CDO: Does this mean that there is a kind of feeling that something is going through you during the execution of movements?
LA: Yes. That's the idea all the time.
CDO: So, if that feeling is not there, would movement be considered as empty?
LA: If the feeling is not there but you are in the search, that's valid. With my four years of practice, for example, I can not pretend to experience Eurythmy like my 80 years old master. She only needs to lift one arm and I already have a chicken skin.
CDO: Does that mean that there's also a particular expressive quality in movement that is full of that feeling?
LA: Exactly. The goal is to truly achieve that the internal experience becomes visible.
CDO: And how do you as a practitioner discover that internal experience? In which moment or why do you know that you are going through the experience?
LA: That's a beautiful question. When I arrived in Germany I saw a lot o Eurythmy and everything was good to my eyes. But in time you educate your ability to see. It's like the first time someone sees a painting by Rembrandt. S/he might not see the quality of the light he achieved or the orange colors that appear… . It's the same. The more you educate your eye, the more you can know when movement is really crossing the whole being.
So, I dedicated my self to attend eurythmic performances and if you asked me where learnt more about it, I would say that it was observing it and not doing it; I was practicing at the same time, but watching is what awakened the awareness within my self of what an eurythmic movement is. It gave me the understanding of the difference between a physical movement and an eurythmic movement. That is something that wakes up progressively.
CDO: So the more you practice, the more that awareness intensifies?
LA: Exactly. You educate yourself and your ear. You develop the ability.
CDO: Is the passion for Eurythmy connected with that feeling? …or with the aim to achieve that experience?
LA: Yes. That's the whole purpose.
CDO: Is it the experience of a movement that has another sense?
LA: It's a movement that really goes through me and that belongs to me.
CDO: Is it like an internal feeling?
CDO: And how would you describe that feeling? Is it a physical thing or emotional…?
LA: I will try to describe it with a banal example. I'm not sure if it will work. It is like when you go to an exam and you know all the answers perfectly. You are so sure and so completely conscious of what you are doing that you liberate your self from anything that does not belong into the experience, anything that puts something in doubt. It's the most beautiful experience when there's no place for doubt, but that is if you achieve it. You feel such a huge conviction that it is like if it was not yours but bestowed.
CDO: That sounds like a feeling of contentment.
CDO: I'd like to go back to a question about the codification of movement, as you said that some steps or exercises even have a name; each vowel and consonant has its corresponding movement; same with major or minor chords, etc. It seems that there are a lot of movements that are defined. Do you learn those?
LA: What I tried with the previous experiential conference was to make people notice that it's not that you learn those movements but that they live within our selves. I never told people, for example, that "A is like this", "E is like this", "I is like this", etc. I tried to make people feel the quality of sound, how it affects the body and how the body can not respond in another way to that quality. So, it's not a code but something that lies within our selves that becomes expressive through the body.
CDO: So if 'codes' is not the right word, how would you call them?
CDO: And how broad is the system of the eurythmic gestures. How many are they?
LA: We work with the laws of the word and of music. For each law there's a gesture. For example each interval, tone, phoneme, feeling or pause has its own gesture; motif changes are also made visible. Everything that is in a score has a corresponding movement. All that I can understand as a law within a poem or a score can be a gesture. There are many.
CDO: Do you all share the same way to do those gestures and translations of the scores or are there differences among interpreters?
LA: The principles are maintained, but when you create there might be different ways to proceed. In that case, the goal is to find the highest correspondence between poetry or music and movement.
CDO: Had Rudolph Steiner already defined all those gestures?
LA: No, not at all. There are still gestures being born. He created the starting point and expressed his wish for Eurythmy to be something big.
CDO: Do therapeutic applications already exist?
CDO: And what is believed that the practice of Eurythmy could heal? Psychomotor disorders or somethinglikewise?
LA: In human beings, imbalances in the physical level also have a source in the level of the soul. Eurythmy would begin to search for the soul-spiritual cause. It is not a method to treat symptoms but to complete what is incomplete or restore harmony.
CDO: You mean like balancing?
CDO: The biggest question I have for Eurythmy comes from my intellectual background. I was educated as a very rational person and tend to not to be accepting of absolute precepts. So, I don't know if I still don't understand Eurythmy fully, but I perceive that there's an ideological basis that presupposes that some kind of a 'natural' mode exists within human beings; and from that 'natural' reality arise all the gestures. From my Cartesian mind, I doubt about the existence of that 'natural' principles. I wouldn't have anything against Eurythmy if it were a system of codes. For me, the fact that something is a code does not mean that it is empty; it might just be a system of ideas, feelings or spirituality. So, do you really think that a person alone (without meeting anything of the eurythmic trend) could find and reach those same gestures or is this all a cultural construction?
LA: I am convinced of the fact that this world is ruled by principles or laws. A tree does not grow downwards, for example.
CDO: So, do you mean that there are definitely principles within the human being?
LA: Yes. We are not disconnected. I also grow upwards.
CDO: And are eurythmic gestures born from those principles?
Studied Eurythmy "Art of movement" in Germany, in the Institute for Waldorf pedagogy "Witten Annen". She is currently attending a specializing degree in artistic Eurythmy in Spring Valley, New York.

"Maybe future trailers will include supplemental batteries to compensate for reduced range?"
A EV drive train developer, AC Propulsion, built a limited number of Scion van EV's and had a small trailer with a 1000cc (ish) generator that also had space for some luggage. It turned a BEV into a PHEV and would be a great option that dealers could rent to EV owners when they wanted to make a long trip. All it would take is a hitch and an electrical connection that interfaced into the electronics already on the car. About the only change would be that the car would recognize that the trailer was hooked on since they won't let you drive the car if they sense that it's plugged in. An argument with Hybrids is you have to lug the weight of the engine around even when you don't need it. With a range extender trailer, you leave it off when you don't need it and can hook it on when you do.
Using petrol to generate leccy is a horrible expensive way to go, but it can make sense in some cases when you want to go out past the charging stations. It's still cheaper to use a public charger when you can and it makes sense to stop for meals/restroom breaks at places where there is one.

Perceptive and Delightful, Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues Brings One of America's Greatest Performers to Life
Louis Armstrong in 'Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues'
By Stephanie Zacharek
Determining the most influential pop-culture figure of the 20th century is probably a fool's errand. But if you truly had to choose one, your best bet would be Louis Armstrong. He was one of the forefathers of modern jazz, shaping that art form as we know it today. The story of America, one of both resplendent hopefulness and inhuman oppression, was written in his bones—he turned the Star-Spangled Banner into a fractured anthem of pride and frustration long before Jimi Hendrix did. And to hear and see him—singing in his incomparably expressive purr, hitting one of his famously sweet high C's on the trumpet, dishing the dirt with amiable savoir faire on a TV talk show—was to love him. Through a career spanning more than half a century, the world came to adore Louis Armstrong, but he truly belonged to America—even if we didn't deserve him.
Sacha Jenkins' sublime documentary Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues entwines Armstrong's story with that of the century he helped shape, from the Jazz Age, through the Depression and the Civil Rights Movement, to the era of Vietnam and the Cold War. Jenkins pairs rare audio clips from those who knew Armstrong—most notably his wife, Lucille, who made a modest but much-loved home for the couple in Corona, Queens—with footage from Armstrong's life and career, enlivened by animated collages that appear to be inspired by those Armstrong made himself. (He had a penchant for cutting words and images out of newspapers and magazines and assembling them into witty, fanciful montages laminated with scotch tape, often using his creations to decorate the boxes of his huge collection of homemade tape recordings.) Jenkins—whose documentaries include the 2015 survey of hip-hop fashion Fresh Dressed, as well as Bitchin': The Sound and Fury of Rick James, from 2021—also mines the wisdom of writers like Stanley Crouch and Amiri Baraka, as well as latter-day trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Marsalis confesses that, despite the entreaties of his father, pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis, it took him a while to accept Armstrong's genius; he couldn't get past Armstrong's demeanor as an entertainer, which he saw as a kind of Uncle Tom routine designed to pander to white folks. Then, at his father's behest, he attempted to learn an Armstrong solo—it was so intricate and innovative, so peppered with unreachable notes, that it was beyond him. That was when he knew he'd been wrong about Armstrong, whose gifts as a musician were inextricable from his deeply personable warmth as an entertainer. Armstrong was the whole package, as adored as he was respected, across the globe.
Louis Armstrong and Lucille Wilson in 'Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues'
The performance footage chosen by Jenkins shows why: There's Armstrong as a very young man, taking the stage first in his native New Orleans and later in Chicago, where his career skyrocketed. A 1932 performance of "Mack the Knife" is a marvel of phrasing—the lyrics seem to be surfing the waves of his affable growl. And we hear snippets from several versions of the Star-Spangled Banner, a song Armstrong loved playing and singing, a way of expressing both his gratitude for his country and his grave disappointment in it.
As an entertainer and a public figure, Armstrong both bestowed blessings and accepted them gratefully. A 1960s-era television clip shows him with one of his early music teachers, a gentleman named Peter Davis, describing his young pupil's gifts. The two stand side-by-side, and it's impossible to discern who is more pleased. (It was Davis who discovered and nurtured Armstrong's talent when, at age 13, after a scrape with the law, he was sent to the Colored Waif's Home for Boys in New Orleans.) Armstrong, among the first to infuse his playing with melodic and rhythmic elements of African music, spoke to the world even without words. We hear his awe at the reception he got during a 1956 trip to Ghana: "They even got my records in the bush; everybody knows Pops."
Jenkins has made a movie that captures both the joy of Armstrong's music and the distinctive nature of his personal charisma, though he doesn't shy away from some of the more controversial elements of Armstrong's legacy. Armstrong had been criticized at the time for declining to march with other Black entertainers during the Civil Rights Era protests, but he expressed his worries explicitly: he feared that being busted in the chops would mean the end of his life as a musician. Instead, he gave money—and probably quite a bit of it. Armstrong preferred to keep his political views to himself and sometimes came under fire for not being vocal enough about injustices suffered by Black Americans. But Jenkins makes it clear how strong his feelings really were, defending Armstrong's right to express them in his own way.

Even if you think you already know everything about Armstrong, Jenkins will show you more, or at least illuminate new facets of well-known facts. We hear Armstrong speaking of his lifelong devotion to laxatives, especially one brand called Swiss Kriss. We learn that during the Depression, when he was flush thanks to steady work, he gave away free coal to families in need. Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues is so filled with life that it's almost a shock, near the end, to see a shot of Armstrong in his coffin, in July 1971, decked out in a typically natty suit, a trumpet lying across the quilted casket liner. He'd been so alive for us only a few minutes earlier; to see him this way is to lose him all over again. But Jenkins restores our equilibrium with a recording of Armstrong's own voice, speaking of the pleasure he took in a life of performing, a life of no regrets. He signs off with a few words, which we see written in his own hand across the screen: "Bye Bye, Luv Aplenty, Soul Foodly, Satchmo Louis Armstrong." The show may be over, but the spirit endures.

23 – a diagnostic socket.
Block ESM regulates frequency of rotation of a cranked shaft of idling on the basis of signals of gauges which react to position throttle заслонки, the speed of the car included at present transfer etc.
The measuring instrument of the expense of air provides the most direct method to measure engine loading as it measures quantity of air arriving in the engine. Air stream arrives in the engine through a measuring instrument with нагретым and cold the wire elements forming a part of the bridge scheme. A current which is passing through нагретый a wire element, the temperature of air arriving in the engine maintains its constant temperature at constant level, which above, than. The weight of air is defined on the force of a current necessary for maintenance of temperature of a wire element. The more a stream of air and, naturally, its cooling, the more size of the signal submitted on block ESM.
The gauge of temperature of air arriving in the engine represents термистор which resistance changes depending on temperature. Block ESM considers a signal of the gauge and corrects width of the impulse submitted on atomizers therefore the quantity of the fuel submitted to cylinders of the engine changes, and also changes a corner of an advancing of ignition.
1. Measure pressure between contacts 1 and 3 sockets of the gauge.
2. If target pressure of the gauge differs from demanded, replace the gauge.
The gauge of absolute pressure in an inlet collector represents the sensitive variable resistor. It measures pressure in an inlet collector which changes depending on operational modes of the engine and is transformed to pressure. The gauge also is used for measurement of atmospheric pressure at start of the engine and provides power setting at different heights above sea level. On the basis of the information from the gauge the engine management block regulates quantity of fuel submitted to the engine, and also changes a corner of an advancing of ignition.
1. Measure pressure between contacts 1 and 4 sockets of the gauge.
1. Measure resistance between contacts 1 and 2 sockets of the gauge.
2. If resistance of the gauge differs from demanded, replace the gauge.
The gauge of temperature of a cooling liquid supervises temperature of a cooling liquid and on the basis of a signal of the gauge block ESM calculates width of the impulse submitted on atomizers therefore the quantity of the fuel submitted to cylinders of the engine changes, and also changes a corner of an advancing of ignition.
On the cold engine block ESM works in a mode of an open loop therefore in engine cylinders moves richer топливновоздушная a mix and frequency of rotation of idling increases. It proceeds before achievement by the engine of normal working temperature.
1. Remove the gauge from the engine.
2. Heating up a vessel with water and the gauge located in it, check up its resistance.
3. If resistance of the gauge differs from demanded, replace the gauge.
1. Put on a carving of the gauge hermetic LOCTITE 962T.
2. Screw the gauge in the block of cylinders and tighten its demanded moment.
The gauge of position throttle заслонки transfers the information on which basis block ESM defines when throttle заслонка it is closed, is completely open or is in intermediate positions. The gauge is rigidly connected to shaft throttle заслонки. Depending on position throttle заслонки resistance of the gauge changes. For a food of the gauge from block ESM on it pressure 5 V.Vyhodnoe pressure of the gauge moves changes from 0,25 In at the minimum opening throttle заслонки to 4,7 In at full opening throttle заслонки.
2. Measure resistance between contacts 1 and 2 sockets of the gauge.
3. Connect an ohmmeter to contacts 1 and 3 sockets of the gauge.
4. Slowly open throttle заслонку and be convinced, that resistance of the gauge smoothly changes proportionally to opening throttle заслонки.
5. If resistance of the gauge differs from demanded or changes in steps, replace the gauge.
The gauge of a corner of turn of a cranked shaft transfers to block ESM the information on position of a cranked shaft. On the basis of the information of a target signal of this gauge and a signal of the gauge of position of a camshaft block ESM defines a corner of an advancing of ignition and the cylinder to which it is necessary to submit fuel. In the absence of target signals of the gauge the engine will not be started.
Depending on the oxygen maintenance in the fulfilled gases the oxygen gauge induces pressure from 0 to 1 V.Na the basis of these data the engine management block changes time of opening of atomizers and a fuel parity in топливновоздушной mixes. That there was a full combustion of a gas mixture and in the fulfilled gases there were no harmful substances, on 14,7 weight parts of air 1 part of fuel should have.
The oxygen gauge is equipped by a heater which maintains temperature of the gauge in a certain interval at engine work on all operational modes. Maintenance of certain temperature of the gauge allows system to be put faster into operation and to work in an idling mode.
Before check warm up the engine until the temperature of a cooling liquid will not be equal 80–95°C.
By the exact digital voltmeter measure target pressure of the gauge.
If target pressure of the gauge differs from demanded, replace the gauge.
Fuel atomizers on the basis of signals from block ESM inject fuel into engine cylinders. The quantity of submitted fuel depends on time of opening of atomizers, i.e. from width of an impulse of pressure submitted on an atomizer winding.
1. At engine work idling a stethoscope or a hand finger check up work of atomizers on presence of clicks.
2. If clicks are absent, check up reliability of connection of sockets to atomizers and target pressure of the block of management.
3. Disconnect a socket from a fuel atomizer and measure resistance between socket contacts.
4. Connect a socket to a fuel atomizer.
Fuel pipelines and hoses provide transfer of fuel from a fuel tank to a fuel highway and atomizers and return superfluous fuel in a tank. The fuel pipelines fixed on the bottom of the car, probably restriction of a stream of fuel is necessary to examine periodically on absence of dents and deformation, as at the expense of narrowing of their passes.
Fuel pipelines and hoses also provide transfer of steams of fuel from a fuel tank to the canister with the activated coal where they gather at the switched off engine. After start-up of the engine and warming up to working temperature the engine management block opens the electromagnetic valve, and steams of fuel from the canister arrive in the engine and are burnt.

Most parents love to run their fingers through their baby's hair whether the baby has a lot of hair or is practically bald! However, when it comes to grooming and taking care of your baby's hair, merely running your fingers is not enough. What you need are a quality hair brush and grooming kit.
Your baby's hair is quite different than your own, as I am sure you already have noticed. Babies have softer and wispier hair when they are born compared to when they are older. Another interesting fact about a baby's hair is that almost all of the hair that the baby is born with will be shed in time to come. As a matter of fact, by the age of around six months, babies have an entirely new set of hair, hence the term "hair today, gone tomorrow"! So, if your baby starts losing hair, there is nothing to panic about, it is only natural.
That said, one of the most common hair related issues that many babies face is 'cradle cap.' If you don't know what this is already, let me elaborate a bit and trust me it does relate back to the topic at hand, so bear with me!
So, a Cradle cap is a condition that causes the scalp of the baby to become dry and scaly. If you are a new parent, the sight of flaky scalp skin can be quite intimidating. Most babies will have a cradle cap at some point and to a varying level, so there is nothing to be particularly alarmed about this. However, the conditions can be easily remedied by, you guessed it, gently brushing your baby's hair!
If you use the right kind of a brush, you can not only prevent the formation of a cradle cap but also stimulate hair growth. Brushing your baby's hair increases the circulation in the scalp and can boost the growth of thicker, lustrous and healthier hair.
Not any ordinary hair brush is adequate for the delicate hair and skin of your baby.
What you need is a special brush that is designed with the delicate hair and scalp of a baby in mind. If you choose the right kind of a brush, you can brush (and even style) your baby's hair with no worries and concerns.
There are a ton of options on the market as well. However, as you can imagine, not all baby hair brushes are designed equal. While some do a fantastic job, others leave far too much to be desired. In this article, we will be talking about how you can pick the best hair brush for your baby and also take a look at some of the best one you can buy.
With the natural baby hair brush set, you get three brushes for the price of one! The set comes with a premium hair brush with natural goat hair bristles, one deluxe massage hair brush with wood bristles and a wooden comb.
All the brushes are made from a high-quality Beech wood which is the material of choice for making hypoallergenic and safe brushes. The goat hair bristles are soft and gentle on your baby's scalp. The message brush has rounded Beechwood bristles that make it an enjoyable experience for the baby as well.
The brush set is designed to perfection as well. Both the massage and the hair brush is easy to hold and use. The handles are comfortable, and the brush is easy to clean as well.
One of the best things about the Baby Bear products is that the company is actively involved in Save the Children Federation and donates a part of the profit to help children in need across the world.
BabyLinos is a well-known brand of baby products, and their brush set does not disappoint even a bit. The brush set contains three brushes- a soft hair brush, a wide toothed brush for messaging and shampooing, and a wide toothed comb.
All the brushes are made from high-quality wood and are extremely durable. The softer hair brush contains natural goat hair bristles that are gentle and soft. This brush is perfect for preventing cable scalp and styling your baby's hair as well.
The message brush bristles are made from high-quality silicone that is hypoallergenic and soft. The rounded ends are just perfect for giving a gentle, soothing massage as well as clean the scalp while shampooing your baby's hair.
The company provides a 100% money-back guarantee, no questions asked. So, if you are not satisfied with the product, you can get all your money back! There is just no good reason not to try this one out!
Another great product from the well-trusted brand of OCCObaby, the 3-piece Baby Hair Brush set is well worth your time and money.
The set comes with a hair brush, a massage brush and a wooden comb. While all the brushes are made from high-quality wood, the hair brush has natural goat hair bristles while the massage brush has wooden bristles.
The soft goat hair brush is perfect for the day-to-day combing while the massage brush is good for occasional use. The ends of the massage brush are rounded and coated with a hypoallergenic plastic material.
The brushes are easy to use and clean as well. Even the wide toothed wooden comb that comes with the set is high-quality.
Royal infant baby brush is one of the best goat hair baby brush on the market. You get a set of two brushes in this set. While one brush has the softer goat hair bristles, the other brush is a wide toothed brush with plastic bristles that have rounded tips.
The goat hair brush is great for routine use while the wide toothed brush is great for providing gentle and soothing scalp massage to your baby. Although the bristles are made from plastic, they are very soft, and the rounded ends are very comfortable for the baby. Use the brush to gently massage the baby's scalp and watch him/her giggle!
The handle of the brush is also designed with great care and is comfortable to use. The whole brush is made from wood and hence has no static electricity build up as well.
The company also provides a 100% money-back guarantee, no questions asked!
The Royal Infant brush gets most of the things right and hence enjoys our strong endorsement!
If you are looking for just a standalone soft bristle brush without the comb or a massage brush, the Natemia hair brush is perfect for you.
It is a single wooden brush that has natural goat hair bristles. The brush is very easy and comfortable to use, and the bristles are soft and safe to use even on a new-born baby.
The handle of the brush is made from high-quality wood, and the brush is easy to clean as well. It also has a nice finish and looks to it.
What makes a great baby brush?
As with any baby product, it is important that you choose a brush that is safe, easy and effective for your baby. There are some features that you must check out before making the decision to buy a baby brush. Here are the most important things to consider.
The design of a hair brush is quite simple, isn't it? I mean all it has is a head that has bristles and a handle. As the bristles are going to be in direct contact with your baby's hair and scalp, they are the most important part of a brush.
As a rule of thumb, you should go for a brush that has softer bristles if you have a child that is a few months to a few years old. The choice of the material used for manufacturing the bristles depends on the brand the price of the brush you choose.
While the more affordable brushes contain plastic bristles, some others contain goat and boar hair as well. The animal hair brushes are much softer compared to the plastic bristles, and hence they are the best for a newborn or a baby up to, say a few months of age. These brushes are not that ideal for styling or combing your baby's hair. Plastic bristles, on the other hand, are slightly sturdier compared to the animal hair brushes. That said, some of the brushes with synthetic bristles also manage to keep the brush as soft as the other ones.
So, when it comes to a choice between the plastic or animal hair brushes, it boils down to your personal preference and budget.
The price is also an important consideration while choosing a baby brush. While some brushes can be quite expensive, some other cheaper varieties are also available on the market. However, as with most baby products, you do get what you pay for, and as a result, you should avoid the cheap ones. Trust me, I am speaking from a personal experience!
One thing is clear; your baby is not going to use the brush by himself/herself unless he/she is superhuman, that is! So, it is almost certain that you are the one who is going to be using this brush on your baby's hair. As a result, the brush should be comfortable to hold and use for you.
Some brushes are notoriously horrible at making the parent comfortable to use them. I mean they either have short stubby handles that are just too uncomfortable, or they have thin plastic handles that make using the comb an absolute disaster!
So, pay close attention to the design of the brush. Make sure that the handle of the brush is ergonomically designed and is comfortable to hold. If the brush is not easy and comfortable to use, chances are, you are not going to use if often and it kind of ruins the whole purpose of a brush.
As with most baby products, brushes can quickly get dirty and unhygienic. You don't want to use a grimy, dirty brush on the scalp of your baby. So, the ability to clean the brush quickly is a big deal, isn't it?
Always look for a brush that is easy to clean and dry. I don't like brushes that are notoriously difficult to clean and trust me; there are plenty of those out there!
Babies can be allergic to the bristles or the material of the brush itself. If you know that your baby is allergic to, say, animal hair, stay clear of the goat hair or boar hair brushes.
There are plenty of hypoallergenic brushes out there. Look for the ones that have a hypoallergenic label on them.
After testing the top five baby brushes on the market, the choice of the best one was not that straightforward. All the brushes that we covered here are almost flawless, but one particular brand was the better among the best. I am of course talking about the Baby Natural Wooden Hair Brush and Comb Set.
The brush ticks all the right boxes and offers the best value for your money. The soft bristle brush is great for routine use, and it does not shed bristles at all during the everyday use, which is a huge plus.
The massage brush also reflects the same quality and durability. If you are looking for a baby brush, Natural Wooden is perhaps the best you can buy!

13-й Донской казачий генерал-фельдмаршала князя Кутузова-Смоленского полк

Ранние формирования полка

13-й Донской казачий полк являлся прямым наследником Донского казачьего Басова полка, который был сформирован в середине 1820-х годов XIX века и принимал участие в Кавказских кампаниях против персов в 1826—1828 годах и против турок в 1828—1829 годах.

Полк долгое время находился на Кавказе и принимал участие в походах против горцев.

Впервые Донской казачий полк под № 13 был сформирован 26 мая 1835 года на основании нового положения о Донском казачьем войске. Периодически этот полк созывался в строй и распускался на льготу, также менялся его текущий номер (в зависимости от свободного номера полка при созыве). Кроме номера в названии полка также положено было означать и имя его текущего командира.

Окончательное формирование полка
В 1874 году с Дона на внешнюю службу был вызван очередной Донской казачий № 21 полк и 27 июля 1875 года он был назван Донской казачий № 13-го полк. С этих пор оставался первоочередным и более на льготу не распускался.

Во время русско-турецкой войны 1877—1878 года полк находился на Дунайском театре и участвовал во многих сражениях с неприятелем.

С 24 мая 1894 года полк именовался как 13-й Донской казачий полк. 26 августа 1904 года вечным шефом полка был назван генерал-фельдмаршал князь Кутузов-Смоленский и его имя было присоединено к имени полка.

В 1914—1917 годах полк принимал участие в Первой мировой войне. Активно участвовал в Томашовском сражении 1914 г. и в Карпатской операции 1915 г. Сражался в Заднестровском сражении 26 апреля - 2 мая 1915 г.

Знаки отличия полка
 Полковое Георгиевское знамя с надписью «За отличие в Персидскую и Турецкую войны 1827 и 1828 годов», пожалованное 29 апреля 1869 года (отличие унаследованно от Донского казачьего Басова полка, которому знамя с этой надписью было пожаловано 21 сентября 1831 года).
 Знаки отличия на головные уборы с надписью «За отличие в Турецкую войну 1877 и 1878 годов», пожалованные 17 апреля 1878 года.
 Одиночные белевые петлицы на воротнике и обшлагах нижних чинов, пожалованные 6 декабря 1908 года.

Командиры полка
 на 15.07.1855 — полковник Редичкин, Иван Григорьевич
 05.05.1872 — 17.08.1878 — полковник Попов, Иван Алексеевич
 11.08.1879 — 19.04.1886 — полковник Поляков, Платон Алексеевич
 29.10.1886 — 24.02.1895 — полковник Телешев, Михаил Николаевич
 12.04.1895 — 02.05.1900 — полковник Дубовский, Николай Иванович
 22.06.1900 — 02.06.1910 — полковник Араканцев, Александр Петрович
 26.06.1910 — 18.12.1913 — полковник Поляков, Константин Семёнович
 31.12.1913 — 04.02.1916 — полковник Каргальсков, Александр Николаевич
 04.02.1916 — ? — полковник Иванов, Матвей Матвеевич

Pippa Middleton's Car Breaks Down and Brother James Comes to the Rescue! See the Photos
By Esther Lee and Omid Scobie
As they wait for sister Kate to give birth, Pippa Middleton got a flat tire on Thursday, April 30, in London, and her younger brother James came to her rescue -- see photos from the sibling bonding moment here. FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Boomf! Royal aunt-in-waiting Pippa Middleton was just like Us when she got a flat tire in London on Thursday, April 30. Luckily, she got some help from her dashing younger brother James.
The scene-stealing younger sister of (still pregnant!) Duchess Kate was out for a drive in her Range Rover when she had to pull to the side of the road. Clad in a blazer, skinny jeans, and Jemima Vine flats, Pippa appeared slightly stressed as she inspected her car's tires.
PHOTOS: Stars -- They're Just Like Us!
She then made a call, and her entrepreneurial sibling (the CEO and founder of a personalized marshmallow company called Boomf) dropped his hard work and rushed over. James, 28, arrived in his Jaguar F Type to help out, and after taking a look himself, he called a rescue service. The two then waited for a tow-truck service.

After the truck arrived, 31-year-old Pippa carried her purse and larger bag by Aspinal of London to her brother's sports car. The two then left together.
FAMEFLYNET PICTURES
Meanwhile, the world awaits the arrival of Pippa and James' future niece or nephew, who is currently eight days overdue. Meanwhile, cameras and fans have lined up outside of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second royal baby. Inside the hospital, it's a calmer environment.

"It's all very British — keep calm and all that," an anonymous Lindo Wing patient told Us Weekly on Thursday. "I think if Kate were to walk in, the majority of people there would pretend they didn't notice her. No one wants to add to the hysteria outside. It's business as usual for the doctors, nurses, and midwives working there. They're used to important people coming in. They're all doing a great job of ignoring the fact there's a slightly odd situation going on outside."

Sirena Hughes, NSNA winner, is currently enrolled in the Nurse Anesthesia program at Villanova University. After getting her BSN she worked in a Pediatrics Intensive Care unit at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. It was here that she was inspired to consider a career in anesthesiology by the understanding and innovative way an anesthesiologist calmed the fears of a young patient. She will pursue a DNP and hopes – in the near future – to become an educator, teaching students in a clinical setting. Her love of 'taking care of others' combined with her love to travel may – in the future – lead her to another goal, that of medical mission work as part of a surgical team working in a third world country.

PM Erdogan: Turkey's reaction against İsrael's attacks reflects its humanitarian sensitivity
YAYINLAMA 16 Ocak 2009 11:49
GÜNCELLEME 16 Ocak 2009 11:49
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday met with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nebih Berri, who was in Turkey to attend a meeting of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (PUOICM) Executive Board convened to discuss the human tragedy in Gaza in the face of Israeli attacks. Erdogan's meeting with Berri focused on the situation in Gaza. During the meeting, the premier said that Turkey's strong reaction against the Israeli air and ground attacks on Gaza reflects its humanitarian sensitivity, adding that Turkey has shown similar sensitivity towards, for instance, the humanitarian crises in Georgia and Sudan. Stressing that Israel is continuing to devastate Gaza despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Erdogan said Israel airstrikes recently targeted a UN building where hundreds of civilians had taken shelter and a Palestinian Red Crescent hospital providing treatment for hundreds of wounded. "As a nation which faced a similar humanitarian tragedy due to Israeli attacks in 2006, I'm sure the Lebanese people now deeply feel Gaza people's sorrow," he added. Briefing Berri on Turkey's peace efforts, Erdogan said that a privately led Turkish delegation is continuing talks in Cairo with an eye towards reaching a cease-fire as soon as possible. For his part, Berri said Lebanon welcomes Turkey's peace efforts. He thanked Turkey for its 2006 assistance to Lebanon, and for its diplomatic initiatives to end the tragedy in Gaza. In related news, Foreign Ministry officials yesterday expressed Turkey's deep concern over the escalating violence and Israel's latest attacks in Gaza. They said Turkey had noted with great concern Israeli attacks on offices of international organizations and media representatives. While Israel's offensive on Gaza went into its 21st day today, the death toll there topped 1,100, including 355 children, with at least 5,130 people wounded, 400 of them in serious condition.
