S.A. Chakraborty
S. (Shannon) A. Chakraborty is an American writer of speculative fiction, whose debut novel, The City of Brass, was published in 2017. Chakraborty was born in New Jersey and now makes her home with her husband and daughter in Queens, New York City, New York. The City of Brass, the first book in the planned "The Daevabad Trilogy," takes place in the 18th-century Middle East. The manuscript made news when it was purchased for somewhere in the "high six-figures" by HarperCollins. The publisher admitted to haven been taken by Chakraborty's ability to create "this wonderfully rich world" of the "Mughal Empire, the Sunni-Shia conflict, and Persian and Indian folklore." While "relevant to current events … it's action-packed, delicious escapist storytelling at its best."
When she's not pouring over books on Mughal portraiture or Omani history, Chakraborty is active in the Brooklyn Speculative Fiction Writers' Group as one of its organizers. Hiking, knitting, and cooking "unnecessarily complicated medieval meals" at home, occupy whatever spare time is left. (Adapted from the Bath Novel Award and the author's website)
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, she's a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing—are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she's forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass — a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments run deep. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, her arrival threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries. Spurning Dara's warning of the treachery surrounding her, she embarks on a hesitant friendship with Alizayd, an idealistic prince who dreams of revolutionizing his father's corrupt regime. All too soon, Nahri learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences. After all, there is a reason they say to be careful what you wish for. (From the publisher.)
Describe Nahiri: she has special abilities but also lacks authentic healing powers. As the novel develops what do we come to learn about those powers, as well as Nihiri's unfolding history and personality?
What does the ifrit see in Nahiri, and what does Dara see in her? What brings both of them forth during Nihir's attempted exorcism?
How much do you know about Djinns (also spelled Jinn)? How fully does the book explain their beginnings (and parallels to Judeo-Christianity), their functions and powers?
Who was Suleiman and what was his seal?
Discuss Daevabad? What are its many amazements that dazzle Nihiri? More pertinent to the novel's plot, what are the political, religious, and racial divides in the city? What injustices are evident to Nihiri?
Were you confused by Daevabad's numerous tribes, families, and their alliances? If so, did you eventually come to understand the multiple factions?
Talk about Dara's own tangled past? What was his role as an Afshin warrior?
What is Alizyd's role in fueling violence in Daevabad? What does he hope his efforts will accomplish?
Talk about S.A. Chakraborty's ability at world building. Has she been successful in creating a vibrant yet credible parallel world in The City of Brass? Are you looking forward to the next installment in the series?

Savage 110 High Country in 6,5 mm Creedmoor
Test: Savage 110 High Country in 6.5mm Creedmoor
The 110 High Country is a modern long-range capable bolt action rifle with interesting features, here in the popular 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, equipped with the also brand new Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 riflescope. What can you do with this combination? Discover it here at all4shooters.com.
all4hunters.com / all4shooters.com 04/29/2019
ULI GROHS
The ultramodern hunting rifle Savage 110 High Country chambered in the successful 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, equipped with a Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 riflescope.
The High Country equipped with a bipod and a Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 riflescope.
The new 110 High Country model by US-based manufacturer Savage Arms with spiral-fluted bolt, spiral-fluted barrel and "True Timber" camouflage-patterned synthetic stock and PVD hard-coated metal parts immediately catches the eye. This shapely, modern repeater for long-range use with "AccuFit" system for adapting the stock to the individual shooter's body proportions / preferences and user adjustable "AccuTrigger" with characteristic integrated trigger lever safety is offered in two barrel lengths, 22 "/ 560 mm or 24" / 610 mm. Depending on the caliber, the detachable box magazine holds 2, 3 or 4 cartridges.
The model- and caliber range of the Savage 110 series
The caliber range includes: .243 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor (both 22", 4 + 1 rounds), 6.5. PRC (22", 3 + 1 rounds), .270 Win., .280 Ackley Improved, 7 mm-08 Rem. (all 22", +1 cartridges), 7 mm Rem. Mag. (24", 3 + 1 cartridges), .308 Win, .30-06 Sprg. (22", 4 + 1 cartridges), .300 Win. Mag. (24", 3 + 1 rounds) and .300 WSM (24", 2 + 1 rounds). And please have in mind that "Savage 110" is a complete series, offering 27 different models. Here you'll find all models on the manufacturers website.
Savage 110 High Country in detail
A view of the adjustable trigger with the integrated safety lever.
At first glance, the rifle is appealing thanks to the color contrast between the synthetic stock and the bronze-toned metal parts, with the Bushnell Forge riflescope 4.5-27x50 fitting well into the overall picture with a "terrain" finish. The PVD hard coating is not only cosmetic, but makes this repeater with fluted bolt and fluted 22"/ 560 mm barrel with improved low-friction properties also extremely resistant to mechanical stress and weather conditions. As for the model 110 High Country we tested (the 110 series is available since 1957), it has been completely stripped in the workshop to give us a better idea of its design and build quality.
The "AccuFit" system offers numerous possibilities for individual adjustment.
The stock adjustment components, supplied in sufficient numbers, can be removed with a simple Phillips screwdriver and put together individually. Only two screws on the butt plate have to be unscrewed to modify buttstock length with another component. The cheek rest can be pushed out, tilted and replaced as needed. Different length screws for recoil pads are also included. Due to the fits and form-locking connections, no play arises after a stock component change. The grippy rubber inserts on the side surfaces of the stock also pleased us. The bedding in our view is on a surprisingly high level for a rifle of this price range. The action rests on an accurately machined aluminum chassis in the synthetic stock. The peculiar, adjustable trigger unit with integrated safety lever is on the underside of the action. Trigger pull was 1750 grams and clean, characteristics already well set from the factory, so we decided to leave it alone for the test without any further gimmicks.
Bushnell Forge 4,5-27x50 riflescope
The Bushnell Forge 4.5-27 × 50 riflescope mounted on the test rifle with Leupold BackCountry mounting rings was convincing in practice.
The new Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 riflescope was also mounted on the Savage 110 High Country with lightweight Leupold BackCountry mounting rings machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, with not even one millimeter between objective lens and barrel – It could not be more perfect!
The magnification range of the riflescope with 6x zoom and throw lever for magnification quick changes ("Cat Tail") is quite interesting for shooters, just as the fine point of the unlit Deploy MOA reticle in the first image plane. The manufacturer guarantees IPX7 waterproofness (up to 1 m water depth for up to 30 minutes). The lenses are multilayer coated and additionally provided with an "EXO Barrier" protection. With this coating, micro pores on the glass surface are closed so that no dirt, oil or fingerprints can adhere to it.
Caliber 6,5 mm Creedmoor: a ballistic bestseller for many good reasons
The 6.5 Creedmore: in the test fire we were able to realize very tight groupings.
The 6.5 Creedmoor has taken the hunting and sports shooting world in its US home country by storm and it is likely to be the most successful new caliber of recent past. It was developed by Hornady in 2007 as a modern, thoroughbred long-range sports cartridge for shooting ranges of up to 1,000 yards / 914 meters. The 6.5 mm Creedmoor with 30 degree shoulder and long case neck for securely holding and seating the .264 "/ 6.70 mm bullet features a cartridge overall length of approximately 72 mm identical to the .308 Winchester, so that it fits into medium-sized standard actions (including self-loading rifles such as AR-10s or M14s). In the realm of the more European-based 6.5mm calibers with cartridges such as 6.5x55 Sweden Mauser, 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schönauer, 6.5x57 / 6.5x57R or .260 Remington and 6.5-284 Norma, the 6.5 Creedmoor is probably most comparable in performance to the two years older 6.5x47 Lapua long-range sports cartridge. From its .308 Winchester parent case, the 6.5 Creedmoor has been shortened to approximately 49 mm losing little inner volume, because it holds 53.0 grains of water compared to 54.4 grains of water in a .260 Remington with an original .308 Winchester sleeve length of 51 mm. Unlike the European 6.5x47 Lapua, the Creedmoor is factory offered in a variety of loads. With regard to the Ballistic coefficient (BC value), it does not need to hide either. A .308 Winchester / 175 Grains Sierra MatchKing and a .338 Lapua Magnum / 250 Grains Scenar achieved BC values of .466 and .675, with the 6.5 Creedmoor / 139 Grains Lapua Scenar behaving very well at .615.
The advantages of 6.5 Creedmoor at a glance:
Lower recoil
High efficiency: from a relatively low powder load, optimal ballistic performance is obtained. ballistische Leistung.
Gentle cartridge: relatively little powder and gas must be forced through the case neck and the connection cone, increasing the life of the barrel.
High precision thanks to case design with minimum body taper, 30 degree shoulder and long case neck that ensures concentricity in the case/bullet relationship.
On the shooting range with the Savage 110 High Country in 6,5 Credmoor
The Savage 110 High Country in 6.5 Creedmoor has been tested for accuracy with 13 different types of ammunition, four factory and nine handloads. For the handloads, we worked with two different propellants in the form of the Lovex D073.6 and Hodgdon Superformance. The latter powder is also loaded in the same-named factory ammo line from Hornady. In the test, it quickly became apparent that the Hodgdon Superformance is "the" powder for the 6.5 Creedmoor. It proved to be not only very consistent in the test, but also brought out the best in 6.5 Creedmoor. Thanks to its fine grain, the Hodgdon Superformance can be poured very well out of the powder feeder and despite powder loads of over 40 grains, the tolerance was only plus / minus 0.1 grains. With our handload, consisting of 43.0 grains of Hogdon Superformance and a 142-gr Sierra MatchKing bullet, we were able to punch a fantastic 7 mm group into the cardboard, but unfortunately a flyer made the grouping circle widen up to a total of 17 mm (still considerable). Other results also showed that this rifle can shoot very well. This is proven by 15 mm (handload with 41.0 grains of Lovex D073.6 and 123 gr Hornady ELD match bullet) or 16 mm (Hornady 143 gr ELD-X factory hunting ammunition) groups.
The Savage 110 High Country was fired with handloads in 6.5mm Creedmoor.
Also with factory loads. Both produced good groupings.
Savage 110 High Country: wrapping up our test impressions
The oldest continuously manufactured bolt-action rifle in North America - the Savage model 110 - is now even better. The 110 series has a fresh look and a full complement of improvements. Select models feature the AccuFit™ system, which lets you lock in a custom fit for fast target acquisition and enhanced accuracy.
The tested Savage 110 High Country is an ultramodern hunting rifle characterized by clean workmanship, practical features and very good shooting performance. Stock and trigger can be tailored to individual preferences. Once again, the young 6.5 Creedmoor caliber convinced us with its balanced efficiency. But no matter in which caliber the High Country may be set up, 1599 euro is a really fair deal for this rifle that gives you real value for money, and you'll enjoy it at the shooting range.

What's the difference between a "law report" and a "transcript"? This is one of those questions where the answer is as obvious to some as it is inconspicuous to others. It is also a question that may, quite reasonably, strike some as a bit pedantic. However, there is a distinction and it doesn't hurt to be clear about what that distinction is.
Handing down: Judgment is generally "handed down" in more complex or lengthy cases, where the court has to deal with a substantial amount of material. At the conclusion of argument, the court will indicate whether it is going to "reserve" judgment or give judgment straight away. When judgment is reserved, the court comes back to give judgment at a later date, having taken time to consider the evidence and arguments. Judgments that are reserved are generally "handed down" in the form of a written judgment.
Extempore judgment: In more straightforward cases, the court may feel it is able to give judgment as soon as argument concludes. Clearly, the court will not have the chance to write the judgment up beforehand, so the judge or judges will read their judgment aloud. The verbal judgment will either be electronically recorded and/or taken down by a short-hand stenographer.
When you view a case on BAILII or the Official Transcript on Westlaw, you are viewing the transcript of the decision, not a report of it. Most handed down judgments will be available on BAILII very soon after judgment.
For an example of what a transcript looks like, see R (Evans) v Attorney General  UKSC 21 on BAILII.
In the case of judgment given extempore (i.e. read into the record), the transcript of the judgment will not be available until it has been transcribed by the court stenographers. As soon as the judgment has been transcribed, it is sent to the judge who gave the judgment for approval.
Not all transcripts of extempore judgments are supplied to BAILII. Some are only accessible via subscription databases, like Westlaw, LexisLibrary, Justis and Casetrack.
Transcripts of judgments given extempore consist of the same components as transcripts of judgments handed down (see above).
Law reports contain all of the components of information you will find in a transcript, but will also consist of a number of fairly substantial editorial enhancements.
Law reports, unlike transcripts, are a highly processed account of the case. A law report of a case is generally produced when the case makes a change to the law (the case is "reportable"). Law reports are written by law reporters; barristers and solicitors who are trained to produce precise and accurate reports of judgments.
Law reports contain all of the components you'll find in a transcript, along with a number of other important and useful elements of content. You can open this specially marked up report of R (Evans) v Attorney General  2 WLR 813, SC to see an example.
Catchwords serve two essential functions. First, they identify the position of the case in a taxonomy of legal subject matters. Secondly, they encapsulate in abbreviated form the issues in the case and any words, phrases or legislative provisions construed by the court.
The first three words or phrases identify the subject matter with increasing particularity according to a taxonomical structure. The first one (eg "Crime" or "Landlord and tenant") gives a very broad indication of the type of case. The second (eg "Theft" or "Forfeiture of lease") narrows it down a bit, and the third (eg "Dishonest appropriation" or "Relief from forfeiture") identifies its subject matter with still more precision. These three levels of particularity are reflected in the hierarchical headings in the Subject Matter index section of the ICLR Consolidated Index, where cases are listed according to their subject matter, and where it is therefore possible to find similar cases listed in the same place (an invaluable research tool).
The remainder of the catchwords set out briefly what the issues in the case were. They identify in inverted commas any words or phrases which the court has defined, and list any statutory provisions or other national or international legislation, conventions etc which the court has considered and ruled upon.
Note: Though catchwords appear in the report, and can help one see at a glance what the case is about, they are not a telegraphic form of headnote, and they do not state the decision. They are essentially an indexing tool, a way of categorisingrather than of summarising the case.
A headnote is a summary, appearing at the beginning of a full text law report, encapsulating as precisely as possible the principle of law which the case establishes.
In some cases, this may consist of little more than a bald proposition, which in older reports used to be contained in a sidenote. In most modern reports, however, the headnote will take a bipartite form in which the first part will outline the relevant facts and issues, and the second, in a separate paragraph or paragraphs, continuing after the word "Held," will set out the proposition(s) of law. This structure enables readers quickly and easily to ascertain what the case was about and identify the point of law decided.
In a few cases, a propositional headnote is more appropriate, particularly where the facts are largely irrelevant to any understanding of the principle, and would, if included, simply distract readers from the point of the case. Sometimes this will be followed by a brief statement of the court's application of the principle to the facts.
Although the headnote adds value to the report of a judgment, it is the judgment itself which sets the precedent and binds subsequent decision-makers. Nevertheless, a good headnote is a work of meticulous legal draftsmanship and can withstand the closest of textual scrutiny. Accuracy is all. Make the proposition too general, and the principle appears either so watered down as to be meaningless or, more dangerously, misleadingly wide in its application. Draw it too narrowly, and it fails to express the principle on which the court based its decision. At its best, a headnote is a precious distillation – the single malt of legal learning.
The blocklist sets out all of the case mentioned in the judgments, along with all case orally cited by counsel during argument, along with those in the skeleton arguments.
What is sometimes referred to as the "facts paragraph" is a brief introduction to the case, giving the full names of the parties and outlining the nature and history of the proceedings (action, application, appeal etc) between them from their commencement to the current hearing.
Additional information provided here may include a summary of the claims, or the grounds of appeal taken from the appellant's notice, or the case stated by a lower court on an appeal by case stated.
In some older reports, the facts of the case are also summarised here, rather than being set out in full in the judgment from which they are taken, so that only that part of the judgment dealing with the law and its application to the facts is reproduced.
For a detailed breakdown of the anatomy of a law report, click here.
The key distinction between a transcript and a report is that a transcript is a raw, unedited copy of what the court said. The report consists of a report of what the court said (in a convenient summary) along with a complete, edited and checked copy of what the court said.

Netflix is keeping an eye on Japanese animation fans!
mccadminOctober 25, 2020
Netflix, the mastodon of the SVOD market, has great news for fans of Japanese and Korean animation.
A meaningful announcement
For a number of years now, Netflix has seemed so friendly to fans of Japanese animation. The streaming giant is determined to establish itself as a serious competitor to specialized platforms such as Wakanim or ADN. After Netflix added its catalog of popular animated series like Naruto Shippuden, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Death Note, The Seven Deadly Sins, Sword Art Online, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, or even One-Punch Man, it signed a hefty deal with Ghibli, making it all Can distribute films from the legendary studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke) and Isao Takahata (Tomb of the Fireflies).

Netflix has also replaced cinemas and only distributed Japanese animated films, such as the film Ni no Kuni, which is set in the universe of the Level 5 video game of the same name, and Héros Modestes. , second film from Studio Ponoc, founded by Studio Ghibli alumni such as Hiromasa Yonebayashi. It would be wrong not to mention the original Netflix productions like the excellent Castlevania series or the more anecdotal Knights of the Zodiac.
In Variety's columns this week, we learn that Netflix has just signed a deal with three Japanese studios (Anima & Company, Science Saru and Mappa) and the Korean animation studio Mir. If those names don't ring, these partnerships say a lot about Netflix's oversized ambitions. Indeed, the signature with the Mir studio reminds us that the SVOD leader wants to be something other than a simple distributor. They also want to be producers. Indeed, it is this Korean studio that is responsible for the production of the animated series The Witcher: The Wolf's Nightmare, which fans of the Andrzej Sapkowski universe are eagerly awaiting.
Signing these juicy contracts therefore enables Netflix to achieve two pragmatic goals, to say the least: first, to flirt with fans of Japanese animation by offering original content; To save production costs, sub-contract Asian animation studios. Netflix isn't the first studio to take the Asian outsourcing option. The animated series Family Guy (21st Century Fox) and Justice League Unlimited (Warner) were produced in part in South Korea, where production costs are lower than in America.

From the first look, she looks like the girl next door. Though beautiful and young, she does not have other special features that make her distinct in a large crowd. You can find most girls are fair and with long curly hair.
I know her at the work place. It is a cooking gas delivery company; the receptionists are females while the drivers are males. Many of the drivers are first attracted to her because she stands out in the crowd of six receptionists. Yet, her working performance is not up to par. Other receptionists tend to bully her, maybe due to her beauty, maybe due to her incompetence at work.
I pity her because she seems to be willing to learn. It is not my job to teach her but I use my time to explain to her on the work flow and how she can do better. The job at the company is easy for me; I can complete my work earlier than other people and have time to guide her along.
Anyway, other receptionists also "strongly recommend" that I teach her because they give up on her. Her previous jobs were in sales and marketing. She is good at talking to customers. Nonetheless, she is bad at calculation and takes too long to close an order. She has her own way of doing her job, yet not approved by other receptionists and the boss has since put the spotlight on her.
These are the comments from other receptionists. What I find out is, because other receptionists have no patient to teach her, so she is always stuck half-way. She takes a long time to complete a task because she has problem understanding the task and no one is willing to explain in details to her.
I have done my best to guide, help and protect her. She knows. It is a pity my tasks are completed and it is time for me to leave. On my last day at the company, we were on the same taxi, chatting and promising to keep in touch.
After I left the company, we came out a few times together. She is always the one who is late. Once, I was so frustrated that I sent her an angry emoticon. The reason was that she said she was on the way, she even told me the MRT station that she was at. Looking at the MRT map, I calculated that she would reach soon.
But I miscalculated one thing, she lied. I was angry because I thought something bad happened to her. When I met her after almost two hours from our appointed time, I told her it is best to tell me the truth because I can arrange my time accordingly. She "improves" a lot after the incident.
She changes jobs a few times after I left the company. My personal view is she uses her beauty and charm to get the job, but her incompetence gets her out of job. Yes, there are a lot of people out there who are like her. You may be angry and frustrated when you first meet those people. But, life is fair. You need to show your competence to survive in this world.
Why I do not hate her like other receptionists? Because my position is higher than her and I do not need to compete with her. I sincerely hope she can improve and do her job better. By the way, I have always wanted a sister. Thus, I treat her like my sister rather than just a colleague.
I wish her all the best in her life.

As a marketer for dotcoms, startups, and large companies over the past 20 years, I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing people who are sought-after influencers in their respective industries. The trait they all have in common? A solid micro brand.
They also are experts in their specific field, confident in who they are, and not shy about sharing their knowledge. But first and foremost, they are great listeners and teachers. They spend time cultivating their brand by curating their relationships, both online and offline. Lastly, they are genuine. They say what they do and do what they say.
In our tech driven world, they are high touch and welcome the face-to-face meetings. Because in the end, as my friend Ted Rubin would say, it is about the "Return on Relationship" and it is about serving without expectations.
For me, the rules to help foster your micro brand boil down to a couple of essential things: establish your area of expertise, and define and stand for your values as you build relationships.
Over the next few months on this blog, I'll be talking to people who I think have mastered the micro brand concepts. I'm looking forward to these discussions, and hope you'll join me here. Connect with me on Twitter @khodyg.

The decision to cut the riser and drill pipe (DP) from the top of the Blow-Out Preventer (BOP) as a first step in putting the Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) over the leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico is not quite as easy as it might sound to a layman. This post is going to talk a little about a couple of the problems, as well as an alternate way of doing it, and should end with a possibly slightly amusing anecdote.
The current plan is to carry out the operation in two parts, first the main body of the riser and contained BP will be cut using a large shearing machine, and then a precision cut will be made with a diamond wire cutter to prepare the surface to act as a support and seal for the LMRP. (Illustrations are below the fold). There are a couple of reasons why this is going to be done this way, and one or two concerns that will need to be watched as the operation continues.
Part of the problem lies in the considerable stress that the metal is under, which may make it more difficult to get the precise cut that is needed for the sealing surface. The weight of the collapsed riser on the kinked section of the riser means that the metal is under a considerable stress, and as the cut is being made that stress is going to be released. This is a particular problem if the saw blade is in the cut as that stress releases. As an illustration large diamond wheels are used in granite quarrying as a way of making the first cut in a new layer of rock. As the quarry works down into the deposit, however, the stress in the rock increases. So that when the diamond saw cuts into the layer, the walls will move in slightly. Now if the diamond saw is rotating until it is removed, it will grind away that small movement and there is no problem. But if the saw is removed, and the cut restarted the next day, then it might be necessary to recut the same depth again, because the walls have moved in that far. The much worse thing to do is to leave the diamond saw in the cut overnight – the walls will move in and pinch the blade and you can't get it back out without destroying it. Did I mention these blades can cost up to $100,000.
So given that it would be a bad idea to break the diamond wire in the cut, or trap it for that matter, the first step in the process is to take some of the load from the riser by cutting off the majority of the fallen pipe. To make this simpler and since the quality of the cut is not important, this will be done with a large shearing machine.
For the second stage in the process the riser and pipe will be cut, at the top of the BOP using a wire saw to cut through both pipes. The diamond wire, which is held under tension in the design, should give a relatively smooth surface that can be used for the sealing surface to the LMRP.
One of the problems in using this tool, which is rather sensitive (in other circumstances we have broken several wires in a smaller model) is dealing with the central DP as the cut is being made, and with the flow of oil and gas past the wire, which can send it into vibration, over the relatively long cut.
The two pulleys at the top of the saw are used, as well as guides, as tools to keep the wire under the correct level of tension.
It is relatively slow to cut, (perhaps 10 to 30 sq ft/ hour, depending on power and blade size) and requires patience to keep the applied loads at the right level (the joy of automatic equipment over manual operation). There are still possible risks, due to the remaining load on the metal being cut as it is being made, since the amount of metal left gets less over time. As a result it is likely that, in the same way as a forester will use wedges to stop the cut closing as he chops down a tree, so small metal wedges will be put into the cut in this case. The only difficulty that this imposes is that it will be difficult to access the central BP and difficult to deal with that, once cut through, since it is within the riser and not accessible. Hopefully it will be held in place by the bend of the pipe and riser, until the wire has passed through it.
Over the past twenty years diamond wire sawing has become more common as a way of cutting through a variety of materials. It has the advantage of making a relatively narrow cut , and the ability to cut through objects made of different materials, such as reinforced concrete. The cutting wire used to have small diamond particles embedded in the steel of the wire, but in more modern varieties the diamonds are embedded in a plastic such as Teflon, and set as beads along the wire, allowing better cooling during the cutting process.
Now my students will tell you that I have a bad habit of slipping commercials for another technology into lectures, and so I am going to indulge, and mention that there is an alternate technique that could be used instead. And that is the use of a high pressure abrasive laden, waterjet cutting stream. These are becoming increasingly used in industrial manufacturing, although in that use the technique usually involves a different way of adding the abrasive to that which would be used in the current problem. In the conventional way of adding abrasive it is mixed into the jet after the water is accelerated, and, in the right circumstances, we have been able to cut through half-inch titanium with an accuracy of 0.001 inches. Those jet systems operate at pressures from 40,000 psi to about 90,000 psi. In the current case the abrasive is added to the water from a pressure vessel, and the technique is known as abrasive slurry jetting (ASJ). It allows equivalent cutting at about a tenth of the jet pressure (i.e. 5 - 10,000 psi). The tool has been developed for cutting off different oilwell parts from the wells under the North Sea. Because the jet cuts away from the nozzle, it can cut, for example, out from the center of a set of drill pipes, one nested inside the other, and separate them, as one of the last stages in decommissioning a well. It has a problem with range, the jet cutting to a shorter distance as the back pressure in the water increases, and for cutting down to 500 ft (the deepest we have tried) it can be improved to cut large risers by adding an air sheath around the outside of the jet.
One alternate way that is used for cutting tanks and other containers with possibly explosive content is to use a chain crawler around the pipe. This way the jet does not have to cut quite as far through the water.
(And for those who question whether jets would work under this depth, Gulf Oil – as was – used an abrasive waterjet to drill a well down to 15,000 ft back in the early 1970's but a fire destroyed the equipment and the research was stopped).
To end with the anecdote – which relates to the cleaning of oil rigs for inspection. The problem that arises is that barnacles and a variety of sea creatures and plants grow on these structures, and need to be removed. The historic method of doing this was to give a diver a chipping hammer, and send him down to chip off the offending coating. Now when a diver is in the sea there is not a lot of resistance, and so one has to clamp onto something to develop enough thrust to effectively use the hammer. The only object available is the rig itself, and wrapping one's legs around a strut works to give the platform. The only problem is that the strut is covered in barnacles – ouch!
So the waterjet industry developed a zero-thrust gun (in other words the cutting jet on one end is matched by a jet of similar power on the other, so the forces are balanced) and the diver does not need to hold onto anything. It was taken out to one of the rigs in the North Sea and given to one of the divers.
He took it, without a word, and disappeared over the side of the rig. He was down underwater using it for about fifteen minutes and came back to the surface. He didn't say anything, but walked over to the chipping hammer. He put down the lance, picked up the chipping hammer, and walked to the side of the platform. "So long , you son of a . . . .", he said, and threw it overboard.
It was one of the fastest adaptations of a change in technology around the world that I have seen. Anyway I will talk about using jets for efficient cleaning in another post. Enjoy the day!
My thoughts on the above article about BP Oil Spill Issues: It appears there is a bolted flange to flange connection below where the diamond cut saw was cutting and became pinched on the assumption of riser weight issue. I also assume there is a reason that the flanges could not be unbolted, however, that is how the riser was initially attached. I would think there is a possibility to diamond cut between the existing flanges where they join each other. Without weight of old riser, a pinching problem with the diamond cut saw might be minimal. Once top flange is cut off, either drill new bolt holes, attach vice clamps or weld the new top flange to existing bottom flange and attach new blowout preventer and turn off well flow. Re-attach riser siphon pipe back to surface collection ship. I believe you have now accomplished immediately stopping 100% pf the oil flow into the gulf along with placing well back into production.
I do not know how to attach drawing.
Thanks, I'll be back later for some great information..
Thats a very nice and informative blog about CUTTING OIL PROBLEMS.I would like to thanks to share such a great info with us.
Hello, I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your site and this post. You make some very informative points.Keep up the great work!

Astronomers detect first carbon-rich exoplanet
| December 9, 2010 | 0 responses
A team led by a former postdoctoral researcher in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics, recently measured the first-ever planetary atmosphere that is substantially enriched in carbon. The researchers found that the carbon-to-oxygen ratio of WASP-12b, an exoplanet about 1.4 times the mass of Jupiter and located about 1,200 light years away, is greater than one. As they report in a paper published on Dec. 8 in the journal Nature, this carbon-rich atmosphere supports the possibility that rocky exoplanets could be composed of pure carbon rocks like diamond or graphite rather than the silica-based rock found in Earth.
\"This is new territory with implications in several areas, from planetary formation and interiors to astrobiology," says lead author Nikku Madhusudhan, who is now a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. WASP-12b is a "hot Jupiter," or a Jupiter-sized, extremely hot exoplanet that is largely made of gas, but it could also potentially have a form of diamond or graphite in its interior. The first-ever finding of a carbon-rich exoplanet is significant because it introduces an entirely new class of exotic exoplanets to explore. It's also possible that rockier, Earth-sized exoplanets may have formed around the same star as WASP-12b billions of years ago. If detected, these smaller planets could also have carbon-rich atmospheres and interiors, meaning that for life to exist on these planets, it might have to survive with very little water and oxygen, and plenty of methane, says Madhusudhan. That might not be so far-fetched given last week's announcement by NASA of the discovery on Earth of bacteria that can survive in arsenic, a poison to humans.
Astronomers can figure out a planet's atmospheric composition by observing its flux, or the light emitted by the planet, at different wavelengths. The team used NASA\'s Spitzer Space Telescope to observe the flux from WASP-12b, at four wavelengths, right before it passed behind the star, an event known as secondary eclipse. The Spitzer observations were coordinated by Joe Harrington, a planetary scientist at the University of Central Florida, Those observations were then combined with previously published observations, at three other wavelengths, obtained from Earth using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii. The planet was discovered in 2009 by researchers at the United Kingdom-based consortium for Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP), who are also coauthors of the study.
Madhusudhan used all the observations to conduct a detailed atmospheric analysis using a modeling technique he pioneered for exoplanetary atmospheres. The computer program he developed combines certain variables, such as a planet\'s temperature distribution, with different amounts of the most prominent molecules that exist in such atmospheres, which are methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor and ammonia, into one formula that produces a theoretical spectrum, or flux at different wavelengths. The program analyzes millions of combinations of these variables, tracking those that most closely match the flux values measured by the telescopes. Through statistical analysis of these values, Madhusudhan can determine the most likely composition of the atmosphere.
Based on theories about what extremely hot Jupiters such as WASP-12b should look like, assuming carbon-to-oxygen ratios of 0.5, previous models suggested that their atmospheres should have plenty of water vapor, very little methane and an atmospheric layer known as a stratosphere. Instead, Madhusudhan's team detected an atmosphere with more than 100 times excess methane and less water than had been expected. The observed composition is consistent with a carbon-to-oxygen ratio that is greater than one. The team also discovered the lack of a strong stratosphere, which contradicts existing theories of hot Jupiter atmospheres.
The discovery suggests that chunks of rock called planetesimals that slammed together to form WASP-12b billions of years ago may have been made of carbon-rich compounds like tar — a far cry from the watery, icy planetesimals that are thought to have formed the solar-system planets. This means that if smaller exoplanets are found to have carbon-rich atmospheres, their surfaces could be covered in a tar-like substance. Future research will investigate whether life — perhaps drastically different from life as we know it — could survive in such a carbon-rich environment.
"It's exciting to even think about the possibility" of what carbon-rich planets could look like, says Adam Showman, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, who explains that although researchers knew that other solar systems should have a range of carbon-to-oxygen values, "this paper finally moves the discussion from pure speculation to plausible reality." He notes that exoplanets with carbon-based interiors could exhibit a range of surface features, atmospheric compositions and potential for oceans or life.

R&D/Leverage is a leading manufacturer of Injection Blow Mold (IBM) tooling for all commercial molding machine platforms. R&D/Leverage offers our Liberty IBM System for your Injection Blow Molding needs.
Watch the Liberty IBM System start-up on the R&D Leverage YouTube Channel.
The Liberty IBM System is a paradigm shift in IBM tool design. R&D/Leverage has cured the main frustrations that cost converters time, money, cause quality problems, and pose a safety risk.
The Liberty IBM System can be started up in a fraction of the time required for a traditional mold, after initial tool set up.
It is the best production quality of any mold on the market. It eliminates mismatched threads, parting line mismatch, and gate damage. That is because of the patented, self-aligning cavities. These cavities are aligned perfectly on precision dowels, not key stock, to ensure perfect cavity alignment.
The highest Return On Investment (ROI) of any mold on the market. The Liberty IBM System reduces labor, resin use, waste, and changeover time, while increasing your process window and safety. You will produce more output with less time and less waste, than any IBM mold you have ever owned.
Unlike traditional IBM tool design technologies that use key stock and all-thread to locate and clamp the mold inserts onto the die set, our Liberty IBM System uses dowels. This allows gaps to be designed between the mold inserts. This gap negates the effects of accumulated horizontal thermal expansion across the injection mold inserts.
The Liberty IBM System also incorporates our newly developed patent pending Alignment System which ensures optimal cavity alignment. These new technologies are designed to allow fast and trouble free start-ups, improved bottle quality, and minimize tooling wear.
We have been awarded multiple patents for our Liberty IBM System. This sets us apart from all other traditional IBM mold makers. The Liberty IBM System - only available at R&D/Leverage.
R&D/Leverage offers the Genesis Hot Runner System as part of our continual effort to provide value added technology to the industry. This system was originally developed to provide superior performance on Injection Stretch Blow Molding platforms. It has proved to be even more beneficial on the IBM platform. LDPE, HDPE, PP, PC, Acrylic, K-Resin, Tritan, and PET resins can be used in this manifold.
If easier and quicker tool start-ups, reduced technical support, reduced tool maintenance, and reducing part replacement costs are part of your lean initiatives, this hot runner system was developed for you.
Our advanced design optimizes heat transfer from the manifold block to the nozzles. This allows the system to start without needing to torch nozzles.
One nozzle orifice diameter is used across all cavities. This is possible because each nozzle can be conveniently adjusted to regulate flow, reducing the number of different spare parts.
The interface of the nozzle tip insert and parison cavity, prevent leakage caused by thermal expansion differences of the hot runner and die set.
The interface design of the hot runner block, the hot runner nozzle and parison cavity, allows the manifold to remain in its forward set location during start-up and shut down without damage to the nozzle or parison cavity.
Due to lack of wear, the nozzles no longer require replacement at regular intervals.
Most existing tools can be easily retrofitted to accept our Genesis Hot Runner System.
The Liberty IBM System is the superior option for your Injection Blow Molding needs.

Wal-Mart announced Thursday that it will move forward with plans to build an 118,000 square-foot shopping center in northern Atascadero.
After seven years of contentious debate, the project was approved by the Atascadero City Council in 2012. However, a group of citizens filed a lawsuit over the approval, which failed last summer.
Then corporate Wal-Mart began questioning whether or not to open multiple already approved stores including the proposed Del Rio Road and El Camino Real project.
Next, Wal-Mart will have to comply with permitting requirements before determining a construction timeline.
The Atascadero Wal-Mart will employ about 250 people and will include a grocery section, an outdoor garden center and a full-service pharmacy.
If you are really in need, you could always use the New Times, they are free and you can get as many as you need from one of those boxes, as TP is about all New Times is good for, that and the bottom of bird cages.
This whole thing is almost 10 years old. I think the antis are out of gas and have moved on.
of low wage part time employees. This will change the demographics for the worst.
Good! Personally. I look forward to it.
If all of you Walmart haters don't want to shop there, for what ever reason, then don't! If you are right and Walmart is the Devil incarnate, then no one will shop there and they will go out of business and the building will be available for some froo-froo store.
But . . . . if Atascadero citizens find the store useful and popular, then I am grateful that some self-righteous holier-than-tho snobs were not able to deny a useful resource to the majority of the local residents.
What is it about Freedom that scares so many people?
Rich, I think it is all about validation. If you can force people to behave or believe the way you do, then how can you be wrong if so many people are the same?
People on limited incomes will have better shopping options in Atascadero. The local business owners can't insulate themselves and their landlords from competition. The shoppers will have options. If they are willing to pay more to shop at the locally owned stores, more power to them.
It would be helpful if someone would provide the estimate of the net revenue increase annually to the City of Atascadero after the expected added city expenses.
WalMart will actually Save Atascadero!
I will be even happier if there is a McDonalds inside so I can follow the shake trail back to the baby clothes and stroller section.

Home | Camp Wyandot, Inc.
Our Mission: To provide an inclusive nurturing environment for youth to have fun, make friends, serve others, and explore the great outdoors.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to complete our new website! Feel free to browse around and check back often for more updates!
Camp Wyandot has been a place of refuge, community & friendship for many years. Campership scholarships are provided for many children who would not have had the opportunity to be in nature otherwise. It's a blessing.
Best place ever, shaped my childhood! Highly recommend for any child!
Camp Wyandot is more than a summer camp location. It's an accepting, inviting, and fun place that brings people together. Children and adults are celebrated for their individuality while learning to work together. Activities such as archery, swimming, boating, and hiking give children the opportunity to disconnect from technology and reconnect to nature in a safe and nurturing environment.
There is not a better place on earth to send your kids for a perfect Summer Camp experience.
Camp Wyandot is nestled in a valley, with Lake Atagahi at the center, and cabins and lodges lining the hills. Our younger campers reside in cabins on the right side of the lake, and our older campers and the Dining Hall are located on the hill on the left side of the lake. We have a swimming pool, a medical lodge for the camp nurse, and several other buildings in addition to the campers' cabins. Main bathhouses serve the needs of campers, and sleeping cabins remain primitive so the sounds of frogs and crickets are uninterrupted at night.

Irish Pubs at the Jersey Shore

This St. Patrick's Day, the Jersey Shore is the place to be. There's no better place to celebrate the Irish than at some of our favorite Irish pubs, where we're greeted with great music, a cold beer and a hot plate of bangers and mash. At these pubs, we get to feel Irish, too, if only for dinner.

The Anglesea Pub
116 W. 1st Avenue, North Wildwood
Recently named one of the best pubs in the Garden State by the list-loving Buzzfeed, The Anglesea Pub in North Wildwood has been serving cold beer since 1916. Hailing from Ireland, General Manager Sean McMullan brings authentic Irish culture including traditional Irish specialties and a friendly vibe to the New Jersey Irish pub scene. Every year on St. Patrick's Day and during the Irish Festival, McMullan even brings in Irish band Patsy Bradley, from his hometown in Ireland. Talk about authentic.

97 Bay Avenue, Highlands
Set in Highlands, one of the Jersey Shore's small beach towns, is Claddagh, an Irish pub with all the fixings. This includes 50 beers on tap ranging from Irish and Scottish ales, Belgian Whites, and stouts. Enjoy drink specials every day of the week while digging into a menu that has everything from your traditional fish 'n chips to the corned beef stuffed into an egg roll. Just like its namesake, our Irish beer and food-loving heart is held right at the Claddagh.

The Dublin House
30 Monmouth Street, Red Bank
If you've ever been to Red Bank, chances are you've either walked past the Monmouth Street house with roots that date back to 1840, or you may have stepped inside and been transported back to a time when the beers were flowing, the music was loud (and good), and strangers became your friends. Not to be outdone by the alcohol, The Dublin House is also known for delicious Irish dishes including its Dublin House Bangers & Mash.

Kelly's Tavern
43 NJ-35, Neptune City
Those who know Reubens, also happen to know Kelly's Tavern, an Irish pub opened by Ed and Mabel Kelly in 1949. Sit inside in the cavernous bar while you dig into the extra large Reuben, a plate that may leave you catatonic. Or enjoy the outdoors under the heated outdoor spaces while you watch some rugby. Either way, it's a tradition.

Johnny Mac House of Spirits
208 Main Street, Asbury Park
When you find yourself in front of Johnny Mac House of Spirits, aka Johnny Mac's, a self-proclaimed eccentric watering hole covered in outlandishly hysterical quotes, step inside. The Irish hospitality runs big here as every beer you drink comes with a free, freshly made, individual pizza (it's where Irish and Italian converge). Play some skeeball while you wait or enjoy the outdoor bar (with ping-pong tables!).

Maloney's Bar & Grill
119 Main Street, Matawan
Nothing says "Irish pub in New Jersey" quite like more than 125 taps that offer everything from ultra-fresh local beers to eclectic imports, and tried-and-true classics, to a full-fledged Scotch list. Maloney's Bar & Grill has become a destination for Irish foodies and beer connoisseurs alike, and with good reason. Just try out the turkey Reuben that comes with tater tots and a vat of cheese.

Murphy's Tavern
17 Ward Lane, Rumson
No Irish pub list is complete without a mention of Murphy's Tavern in Rumson. A tradition since Prohibition, Murphy's was established in 1856 as a speakeasy and despite the laws eventually being lifted, still offers the same vibe it once did when patrons would have been hiding in the back.

Kan Kolmo és un centre social ocupat des del 2009 que es troba al número 41 del carrer del Carme de Girona, al centre de la ciutat. És un dels tres centres socials ocupats més importants de la ciutat, juntament amb Can Rusk i el Casal 4 Rius. L'edifici era antigament una fàbrica de taps de suro que es va tancar a principis dels anys 70. Els propietaris van fer una denúncia penal que preveia el desallotjament dels ocupants més una sanció de 1.500 € per usurpació. Els càrrecs per l'ocupació de l'immoble i ús fraudulent de la xarxa elèctrica es van retirar el 2013, any en què l'advocat defensor Benet Salellas va argumentar que en el moment de l'ocupació l'edifici estava completament abandonat, cosa que invalidava una intervenció penal. L'equipament disposa d'una cafeteria i un rocòdrom a l'interior i d'un taller de bicicletes al local a peu de carrer.

After much consulting with key European allies, the Reagan administration has received several unmistakable messages. These messages from the British, the French, and the West Germans come down to one point: In its eagerness to block the Soviet Union, the administration may be overstating the military factor.
Military approaches are not sufficient to solve most of the world's problem, these allies are saying.Economic solutions and negotiated political settlements must be sought as well.
The West European say the point applies to El Salvador, where the Reagan administration has placed great emphasis on the military side of the conflict.
1. The administration should not cut American aid to developing countries at a time when many West European countries are contributing a much greater percentage of their gross national product to such aid than is the US.
2. The administration must continue to seek nuclear arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union. Otherwise, it will be difficult for West European governments to gain the necessary domestic political support for continuing NATO defense efforts. Those efforts include the deployment of new American medium-range nuclear weapons to West Europe. Without a Western commitment to arms control, attacks on such defense measures from the West European left may grow more effective.
The West Europeans tend to believe that Soviet President Brezhnev's recent speech contained both positive and negative elements. On the minus side, it is seen as a soviet effort to divide the Europeans and Americans. But on the plus side, it is seen as a sincere expression of Soviet interest in arms-control agreements. As such, the Europeans think it ought to be welcomed.
3. In the Middle East, the administration must continue to push for a solution to the Palestinian problem. Efforts to build Western defenses in the Gulf will be undermined, unless there is an equal emphasis on resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Palestinian question in particular. The Gulf and Arab-Israeli questions cannot be separated.
Although they agree on the essentials of all these points, there are some differences among the Europeans. The West Germans, for example, place less emphasis on the Palestinian question and a link between the Gulf and Palestinian questions than the British and French do.
Early indications from the Reagan administration have been that it will place increasing emphasis on what it considers to be a Soviet threat to Western oil supplies from the Gulf and less emphasis than the Carter administration did on negotiations over Palestinian autonomy.
In an appearance on the ABC television program "Issues and Answers" March 1, Britain's Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, declared that the Gulf and Palestinian questions are "interrelated." But she said that West Europe's continuing efforts to address the Palestinian question were meant to be "complementary" to those of the United State and were not designed to undercut American efforts.
Although Mrs. Thatcher did not comment on it, key Western European nations now are said to be more ready than they were previously to complement American defense efforts in the Gulf by Making available some of their own forces if a crisis erupted there. Britain is apparently not adversein principle to contributing troops now based in Europe should a crisis occur. According to German sources, even West Germany, which repeatedly has emphasized its strictures against the use of its armed forces outside the NATO region, may at some point be willing to provide naval backup support.
When it comes to European diplomatic initiatives on the Palestinian question, the Europeans and Americans are reported to have come, through consultations, to a better understanding of each other's differing perspectives.
On El Salvador, US Secretary of State Alexander Haig has shown considerable sensitivity to European concerns. Haig repeatedly has emphasized the need for political and economic reform in El Salvador, in addition to a need for American military aid. The West Europeans have made it clear to Haig that they consider the El Salvador government, some of whose military officers stand accused of supporting assassination squads, to be as unsavory as the leftist guerrillas who oppose that government.
Haig also has seen a need to make clear that there are limits on how far the US intends to go in providing military aid to El Salvador.
Shrill wind from Israel: Does it risk alienating its allies?

For some time now, we have been working with the Design Council to try to find a way to build a greater element of "design thinking" into the front end of our programmes and projects. It is not that design is left out of many of the activities we support, but the systematic evaluation of the whole process before things happen was not encouraged by the timescales we used to use, and the expedient behaviour of many business technologists (and I include me in my previous life here) meant that often design got left until the back end of the process and failed to realise its potential contribution. The challenge for us is to get those on the scientific and technological side of the house to see what the more creative side can do for them by involving them earlier in their thoughts.
Before Christmas, we were invited to join the Design and Technology Alliance by Sebastian Conran and immediately became embroiled in the Designing Out Crime programme. We are now in the final stages of developing a new joint programme with the Home Office and the Design Council, and Thursday evening was a telephone conference with David Godber of the Design Council to make sure we were both up to speed with the project. Since it will probably be formally launched by someone in political life, it is not for me to spill the beans, but I think we are all proud of what we are planning – watch this space!!
Towards the end of the call, we started discussing the meeting last week at Number 11. Design Week had run an editorial on the event, criticising the lack of wider engagement of the design community. Whilst I was quite moderately proud that I had been name-checked in such a prestigious journal outside my usual sphere, the reference was ambiguous and David will help the Technology Strategy Board get wider engagement with a community we regard as vital for the sustainable success of UK businesses.
The following day, an apparently unrelated meeting brought me back to this conversation. The Industrial Biotechnology Innovation and Growth Team are nearing the end of their analysis and wanted to check their recommendations as they relate to the work of Technology Strategy Board. We went through the draft recommendations and discussed how various ongoing activities could inform and refine their thoughts. One that was of particular interest to me was the ability to test new biotechnology routes to basic chemicals. Having spent most of my business career in the chemicals industry, I am only too aware of the challenges that confront those wanting to bring radically new products or processes to market. There is usually a need for new capital equipment, and at a level that the payback period is often measured in decades rather than years. Even before money became tight, that timescale of returns would scare off the most risk tolerant. What the IB-IGT team have done is think through this hurdle and come up with a well-considered approach to the problem, leveraging existing resource into a potential competitive advantage for the UK. It's like they "designed" it!

New 30% tax credit for electric bicycles makes progress in US Senate
Remember that proposed 30% tax credit for electric bicycles in the US? It's now one step closer to becoming law, thanks to recent progress in the US Senate.
Late last week, a new bill was introduced to the Senate known as the Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act.
The bill, S.2420, is a companion bill to H.R.1019 that was introduced into the House of Representatives earlier this year.
The Senate bill was introduced by senators Ed Markey (D-MA) and Brian Schatz (D-HI).
It proposes a 30% tax credit for new electric bicycle purchases in the US, up to a maximum credit of $1,500.
The goal of the bill is to help promote electric bicycles as an alternative form of transportation to personal cars. Not only would this help reduce harmful emissions, but it would also reduce traffic for everyone in crowded cities.
The bill would make this possible by amending the Internal Revenue Code to create the new tax credit.
To be successful, both the House of Representatives and the Senate must pass their versions of the bill, then any differences between the two must be addressed before heading to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law.
To qualify, electric bicycles would have to be priced under $8,000, which includes the vast majority of e-bikes sold in the US.
Most common electric bicycles used for commuting fall into the $1,000-$3,000 range, while higher end e-bikes from more upscale companies usually cost closer to the $4,000-$6,500 range.
Electric bicycles in Classes 1, 2, and 3 would be eligible, meaning e-bikes up to 28 mph (45 km/h) could qualify. However, e-bikes with motors carrying continuous power ratings of above 750W or that reach speeds higher than 28 mph (45 km/h) under motor power would not qualify.
The tax credit would also be fully refundable, helping lower-income riders take advantage as well.
The Senate bill was introduced late last week and is expected to gain a number of co-sponsors in the coming weeks.
The House of Representatives currently has nearly two dozen co-sponsors, all Democrats. Since its introduction in February, no Republicans have signed on to co-sponsor the legislation.

Commission Rules that Brooklyn School Discriminated Against Frum Professor
(VINnews) — A government ruling has been issued, stating that a Brooklyn CUNY school discriminated against a frum professor.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency, says that Kingsborough Community College discriminated against professor Jeffrey Lax because he is Jewish and supports Israel.
According to the ruling, the school intentionally scheduled meetings on Shabbos to prevent Mr. Lax and other frum Jews from participating.
"The Progressive Faculty Caucus continued to meet on Saturday nights, and did not try to set a new date that would suit Lax and other employees who could not attend due to the observance of their religious precepts," the officials wrote.
A law firm representing Mr. Lax quoted a witness who said that "leftists did not like Lax because he was in favor of Trump, and a pro-Israel, Zionist and conservative American."
Mr. Lax, who is a professor of business administration, announced his resignation from the college in June, due to CUNY's anti-Israel stance. He continues to teach at NYU.
On June 10th, the school's Professional Staff Congress voted overwhelmingly in support of a resolution condemning "the continued subjection of Palestinians to the state-supported displacement, occupation, and use of lethal force by Israel."
