« Red Beard Wall to Release Self-Titled Debut on Argonauta Records
Doomstress and Disenchanter Announce 'How the West was Doomed' Tour »
Arbouretum, Song of the Rose: In Bloom
Four years is a long time between Arbouretum records. Their debut was released in 2004, but between 2007 and 2013, the Baltimore-based purveyors of fuzzed-out heavy psych-folk issued a full-length album every other year and had other offerings besides — a prolific run that capped with Coming out of the Fog (review here), which was their fifth LP depending on what one actually counts. In 2015, guitarist/vocalist Dave Heumann offered the solo outing, Here in the Deep (review here), but as Song of the Rose arrives via Thrill Jockey, the meld of different styles that seems to come so naturally from Arbouretum — like something so obvious that somehow no one else is able to say — reminds the listener how much it and they have been missed.
Comprised of eight songs and running just about 40 minutes flat, Song of the Rose offers ripeness in its melodicism, resonance in its emotionality and heft in its patient, organic rhythmic rollout. Songs like the title-track, opener and longest cut (immediate points) "Call upon the Fire" and the rambling, organ-laced "Dirt Trails" prove hypnotic and memorable in kind, and the arrangements between Heumann, bassist Corey Allender, drummer Brian Carey and keyboardist Matthew Pierce weave fluidly into and around Americana, indie, folk and heavy psychedelia with a grace just about unmatched in the US. That's not a slag on anyone, but meant to emphasize how particular Arbouretum's sound is and how entirely it is their own. With Song of the Rose, they slide back into it with apparent ease after the relatively long absence and manage, as ever, to bring it forward to a new stage of itself.
While I believe their growth is natural in the sense of coming from an ongoing maturity of songwriting and human experience — as opposed to their sitting down and saying, "We need to make this album different from the last one" — it's nonetheless a key aspect of what they do, and it's easy to imagine that if the songs didn't "feel right" on those terms to the band, Song of the Rose simply wouldn't exist. Maybe that's just a result of reading into the gradual way in which "Call upon the Fire" opens; its strumming foundation around which a torrent of consuming fuzz builds and recedes so that it ends after a crashing apex with quiet acoustic guitar and keys, chilling the listener out en route to the gentle beginning of "Comanche Moon," much bolstered by the warmth in tone of Allender's bass as captured by producer Steve Wright at Wrightway Studio and mixed by Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk).
As he will again on closer "Woke up on the Move" and as he has many times before, Heumann takes on the role of storyteller in the lyrics of "Comanche Moon," and he and the instruments trade back and forth giving each other the space to let that play out. The subsequent title-track, louder, more immediate in its roll but still unrushed in meter, is more descriptive for its 6:23, and reportedly intended as the third in a trilogy behind "Song of the Nile" from 2011's The Gathering and "Song of the Pearl" from the 2009 outing of the same name. Together with "Call upon the Fire" (7:23) and "Comanche Moon" (5:59), it makes an opening salvo of the three longest pieces on Song of the Rose. It may or may not be where the vinyl side A ends, but the takeoff into jamming that ensues feels like a culmination of the record so far in its buzz-toned lead and refusal to return to the chorus as it otherwise might, its affect all the more filled out with the Pierce's keys, which are the last remaining element after the guitar fades out, clearing the ground for the start of the shorter and more straight-ahead "Absolution Song."
Around cycles of starts and stops, "Absolution Song" seems to find the resolution it seeks in landscapes, tambourine and woodblock-infused push and twice-over dispersal into pure shimmer. It's the only piece on Song of the Rose under four minutes long, and carries a spiritualistic feel, but is a standout in rhythm and melody alike, Heumann's lines backed by a deep-mixed, swirling echo. The subsequent "Dirt Trails," as the title hints, is something of a momentary return to ground before the soaring "Fall from an Eyrie" takes flight and the 93-second interlude jam "Mind Awake, Body Asleep" leads into the finale of "Woke up on the Move" with a key-led, space-minded progression. With "Dirt Trails," it's Arbouretum's folkish side that comes more into focus. Nothing too flashy — some guitar effects for balance with the organ — but the intent in placement seems to be to reorient the audience ahead of "Fall from an Eyrie," on which Carey's snare, Heumann's guitar and Pierce's keys all seem geared toward building as much tension as possible leading into each chorus while Allender holds it all together on bass.
I don't know if it's fair to call "Fall from an Eyrie" the apex of Song of the Rose, but as the suitably-airy guitar solo arrives just before three and a half minutes in amid the wash of keys and the forward rhythmic drive, it sure feels like it. To their credit, while they could probably ride that part another four or five minutes into an overblown payoff, they don't, and "Mind Awake, Body Asleep" fades in with its synth and basslines working over the drums to quickly transition between "Fall from an Eyrie" and "Woke up on the Move," which again sees the return of Heumann-as-narrator and ends the collection with a sense of flow that, though it doesn't really need to, summarizes much of what's come before it in its soft approach and emergent rumble, which leads to a surprisingly noisy finish of crashes and feedback.
They don't go fully into abrasion or anything like that, but they make it plain they've hit the endpoint for the album when they do, and the howling guitar noise at the close is definitely a part of that. Still, "Woke up on the Move" is drawn together with the rest of Song of the Rose through the distinctive clarity that is a hallmark of Arbouretum's work. After four years, to find that intact is a relief, but to have the band offer not only an execution of form in their return but a genuine developmental step feels like more than one might reasonably ask in its delivery. As ever, Arbouretum invite the listener to get lost and to find, and the joy in so doing on Song of the Rose is unmistakable.

The perfect squishy, welcoming, comfortable family couch for our new basement den.
Such a comfortable, inviting piece for this space!
I initially purchased the Anton Daybed but had delivery issues so to get the same comfort I ordered the sectional and I am extremely PLEASED w my selection and color.
Love it so far! Kids have already claimed it, as you can see.
4 months after delivery and I still like just staring at the majesty of my Anton sectional. It IS my happy place!
The felines and the humans (not pictured) love our new Anton Sectional. It's comfortable, spacious, and has great, clean lines. Also like that it is not too tall--doesn't block our window view.
Love my new furniture! So comfy!
Double tap if you've always liked school.
This babe is so close to being listed! Can't wait to see the professional pics @nickdandria took!
Anyone else getting the boho vibes?
Consider Anton a Mid-century-inspired icon that's large enough for real life. It's low profile is comprised of two generously stuffed cushioned seats, an extensive chaise and low arms that double as headrests. Beneath the simple lines lies a complex handcrafted design with a solid beech wood box frame for maximum support.
Sprawl out in style across the double-cushioned seat with a chaise that's made for impromptu naps or squeezing in an extra guest or two. It's simple, contemporary lines will transform your living space, large or small, into an entertaining haven. Sturdy block legs heighten the modern appeal, and loose cushions raise the comfort level.
Allow your lounging experience to begin and end here on the Anton sectional. Delightfully comfortable and able to bring softness and warmth to a modern space, this sectional is a room-defining element for any size space.
The slightly obtuse angled frame offers an ideal subtle recline joined by cozy adjustable cushions.
The unique blend of foam and trillium cushioning spells extreme snugness with plenty of support.
It's classically low profile and deep seat creates the right environment for all heights.

Contaminated soil and groundwater pose serious problems to the environment.
Ramboll's knowledge and technology within this area is based on our experience in the mapping, risk assessment and decontamination of thousands of sites. Our clients consist of private and public developers on a local and a global level.
We provide professional skills and know-how in all the phases of a project: from preliminary studies and planning to decontamination and construction. We carry out our projects in multidisciplinary teams made up of engineers, hydrogeologists, geologists, chemists, biologists, environmentalists and construction and infrastructure technicians. We also draw on Ramboll's vast bank of experts and knowledge when necessary.
Ramboll's skills sets cover a wide range of jobs from minor local studies to major regional studies. We possess all the necessary technical equipment to study and document soil and groundwater contamination, including a field laboratory for measuring chemical levels in water, soil and pore air samples.
Pore air measuring is a reliable, fast and inexpensive way of examining contamination with labile substances like chloral solvents and oil and fuel products. We have more than ten years of experience, and our mobile laboratory can identify the field contamination on the spot.
When soil contamination has been proven, the extent and risks involved from contamination have to be examined. We pay professional attention to the dispersal and seepage of chemical substances in the soil, then assess the risk to groundwater, indoor climate and land-use. We perform risk assessments based on simple and advanced dispersal models, always maintaining focus on our customers' needs.
An active and productive life is closely related to a healthy indoor climate. At Ramboll we examine and provide consultancy on chemical substances in indoor climates that originate from chemical products or from seeping soil contamination. We have a broad selection of measuring equipment at our disposal, and we collaborate closely with recognised laboratories to conduct chemical analyses.
Ramboll is experienced in using models to create and simulate contamination dispersal. We input data on geology, hydrogeology and chemicals into an IT model and create a picture of the strength and dispersal of contamination found in soil and groundwater. This picture provides decision-makers with a useful tool for risk assessment.
Ramboll uses some of the most advanced equipment for testing preventive measures.
The number of chemical substances used in our society is on the increase. This is why we need to conduct regular environmental assessments on their application and disposal. We collect, interpret and assess chemical and toxicological data and conduct environmental assessments of the consequences of major projects in the public building sector. Tunnel-drilling chemicals, CFCs and flame retardants are some of the chemicals we assess.
Our departments for contaminated soil and groundwater work independently but collaborate with other departments with expertise in construction, infrastructure, environment and planning.
The people in Bangladesh are suffering from the deadly effects of contaminated drinking water. This has been caused by naturally occurring arsenic in the earth. The Ramboll Foundation has granted financial support for a three-year research project to secure safe drinking water.

The Negative Predictive Value of a CXR in the Evaluation of Pediatric Pneumonia
William T. Basco, Jr., MD, MS
The Predictive Value of a CXR in Suspected Pneumonia
Clinicians often face uncertainty about whether they can rely on a negative chest x-ray (CXR) to rule out pneumonia in a child, even when other clinical signs and symptoms may have raised that concern.[1] In a recent study, Lipsett and colleagues[1] aimed to determine the negative predictive value of a CXR in children with suspected pneumonia.
For this prospective observational cohort study, data were collected over a 2-year period in a single large pediatric emergency department (ED). The patients were children and adolescents, aged 3 months to 18 years, who underwent a CXR to evaluate for pneumonia. The general standard of care in this ED was to obtain a CXR when any child was suspected clinically of having pneumonia. Children with chronic conditions that may predispose them to pneumonia were excluded, as were any children already on antibiotic treatment.
CXR findings were classified as "positive," "negative," or "equivocal," depending on the final reading by the radiologist. The investigators followed up with the families by phone or email during the first and second weeks after the ED visit to determine such outcomes as symptom resolution, whether the child had returned to school or day care, treatments rendered, and any additional medical visits required. They specifically asked whether the child had been diagnosed with pneumonia after the index ED visit. For analysis purposes, a child was considered to have pneumonia if the ED discharge diagnosis was pneumonia, regardless of CXR findings.
The study cohort included 683 children with a median age of 3.1 years. More than 20% of the children were hospitalized in conjunction with the index ED visit and 29.3% were diagnosed with pneumonia in the ED. Among the 411 children with a negative CXR who were not diagnosed with pneumonia and not treated with antibiotics, five children (1.2%) were diagnosed with pneumonia within 2 weeks of the index ED visit. Therefore, the negative predictive value of the CXR for pneumonia was 98.8% (95% confidence interval, 97.0% to 99.6%). All five children subsequently diagnosed with pneumonia were < 3 years old and were early in the course of their illnesses when they presented to the ED.
The conclusion of the study was that a negative CXR excludes pneumonia in the large majority of children evaluated for pneumonia. These children can be observed without antibiotic therapy after an ED evaluation and a CXR.
The framework from which to view this study is that pneumonia remains a clinical diagnosis. Some children in the study were treated for pneumonia even with negative CXRs, and others with positive CXRs were not treated. Those may be valid decisions and pose questions not examined in this study.
That said, this study does provide valuable information for what is a fairly narrow question: If a clinician is concerned about pneumonia in a child who does not seem to need treatment based on a history and physical, can a CXR help make the decision about whether to prescribe antibiotics? The answer would appear to be yes. Those children with negative CXRs who have not already crossed a clinician's threshold for requiring antibiotics are very unlikely to ever cross that threshold. I can't emphasize enough that the clinician's decision-making is important: clinicians should use CXR findings to supplement their decisions and not to drive them entirely.

What Is Mead?
Virginia Retail Stores
Direct Shipping
From Bee... To Bottle
Mead is an ancient drink, thought by many to be the first fermented beverage. Mead is diluted honey that has been fermented. The earliest meads were likely accidental fermentations with wild yeasts, but this eventually developed into organized, intentional meadmaking.
The earliest styles were likely sweet drinks, often mixed with fruit juices or flavored with spices. Mead became the drink of choice in northern Europe, and enjoyed popularity until improved brewing techniques provided a cheaper, more consistent beverage, and cane and beet sugar replaced honey as a sweetener.
There are almost as many kinds of mead as there are meadmakers. There are several general categories that meadmakers use to classify their products.
Traditional meads are made from water, honey and yeast. They range from dry to semisweet. The driest are lacking in the characteristic honey sweetness, but they capture the true "essence" of the honey. The sweeter versions retain some of the sweetness of the honey without being syrupy or cloying.
Bochets are made from caramelized honey which adds a layer of complexity, especially to sweet meads.
Sack Meads are very sweet traditional meads, often aged for extended periods. They can have the character and complexity of a port or sherry, or the sweetness and fruitiness of a late harvest grape varietal.
Melomels are meads made with fruit. Depending on the process and fruits used, these can be very fruity, aromatic and sweet, or dry with just a hint of fruit essence (or anywhere in between).
Metheglins are meads made with herbs and spices. Our word "medicine" likely descended from this term. The varieties in this category are almost limitless. Frequent spices used are clove, cinnamon, ginger, and other "wintery" spices. Juniper is another common additive, as are many herbs in the mint and sage group such as mint, lavender, rosemary, sage, etc.
Pyment is a fermented blend of honey and grape juice – probably an ancestor of our grape wines. Pyment can be as diverse as the grapes and honeys used to produce it.
Hippocras is a spiced pyment, usually sweet.It is believed to have been popular among early Mediterranean peoples.
Cyser is mead made with apples, and can be as varied as the myriad apple varieties and the numerous British, French, and American interpretations of cider. The addition of honey allows more variation in sweetness, alcohol content, and shelf life.
Hydromel is a newer category used to classify any mead that is less than 10% alcohol (unless you speak French – then it's just mead). Our Bee Brews are hydromels. These meads can be as varied as the other categories listed above, if not as common.
Braggot is mead made from malted grains and honey, often with hops as well. It can be thought of as a beer/mead hybrid, and probably predates all-grain beers in origin. Modern interpretations vary from sweet "barleywine-style" braggots, to light, hoppy brews.
Mead is experiencing a renaissance, both among commercial producers and homebrewers. Remember to ask for mead at your favorite restaurants, bars, and wine shops.

World's Fastest Piston-Power Airplane
A star team led by a racing phenom grabbed the record. But there's one left to break.
Scott Germain
You can almost hear the Merlin growl as the Mustang Voodoo is prepared by its team to make history.
The roar and concussion were startling. Clocked at 554.69 mph, the ultra-modified P-51 racer Voodoo shot by and was gone. Its first pass over the three-kilometer straightaway took 12 seconds.
I was watching air racing superstar Steven Hinton attempt to do what his father had done 38 years before: set the three-kilometer speed record for piston-engine, propeller-driven aircraft. For raceplane pilots, the three-kilometer record (1.86 miles) is an Olympian goal, captured by the greatest pilots in history. "This record has been around since the beginning of aviation," says the younger Hinton, pointing out that the fastest jet record wasn't established until almost 1950. "It connects the generations."
He mentions Jimmy Doolittle, who set the record in 1925 flying a Curtiss seaplane, one day after he won the Schneider Trophy for the United States. Eight pilots, including Amelia Earhart, beat Doolittle's record, but he won it back in 1932, flying the storied Gee Bee R-1 at the Cleveland National Air Races. After World War II, a fascination with jets pulled the focus away from the piston-engine record, and it slept for 30 years. In 1969, air race champion Darryl Greenamyer decided that 30 years was long enough for the record to be held by a German Messerschmitt. His modified Bearcat Conquest 1 brought the title back to the United States and earned the Bearcat a place in the National Air and Space Museum.
Last September, Hinton was chasing the record set a generation later, in 1989, by another famous pilot, Lyle Shelton, in another famous Bearcat, Rare Bear. The massive racer, built from a wreck, had been perfected over two decades of competition. Some thought Shelton's speed—528.31 mph—would never be beaten. And according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the body governing worldwide aviation competition, it won't. The FAI database states that Shelton's record has been "retired by changes of the sporting code." But Art Greenfield, of the U.S. National Aeronautic Association, says the FAI statement is wrong, and he wants the international organization to correct its database. "We changed the rules, but we did not want to change history," he says.
Greenfield, the NAA director of contests and records, explains that when Shelton set the speed record, he wasn't required to specify the weight of the airplane; his speed was entered in the NAA database in an "unlimited" category. Today, a challenger must specify one of 23 categories determined by an airplane's takeoff weight; if a record is set, it applies to that weight class alone. There is no longer an unlimited category. But, says Greenfield, if a challenger flies at a speed one percent faster than Shelton's 528.31 mph, Shelton's name will disappear from the record list. Until that happens, Shelton stays. His record is there to beat.
Modified racers like Mustangs and Bearcats fall in the category weighing between 3,000 and 6,000 kilograms (about 6,600 to 13,200 pounds). In that category, the first to set the record under the new rules was Will Whiteside, flying a modified Yak-3U, Steadfast. In 2011, he hit 416 mph, a tremendous speed for a Yak but nowhere near what Bearcats like Rare Bear and Mustangs like the current Reno champion Strega can do. Topping 416 would be easy. But Steven Hinton—Stevo, as he's called by friends and fans to distinguish him from his famous father, also named Steve—was aiming higher.
The younger Steve Hinton (he is not a junior; father and son have different middle names) was born into warbird royalty. His grandfather Ed Maloney, who in 1957 founded the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, California, was one of the first to recognize the historical value of World War II airplanes, and he did more to preserve them than any other single collector in the country. In a story that every race fan knows by heart, the senior Hinton was best friends from second grade on with Maloney's son Jim, and the pair knocked around the museum as kids and became pilots and precocious warbird experts together. (They also became family when Hinton married his friend's sister Karen.) Jim Maloney died in an airplane crash in 1983; Hinton became a fixture at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, winning Unlimited Gold in 1978 and 1985 and, in 1990, taking over from the legendary Bob Hoover as the Unlimited pace plane pilot, the one who sets the pace for the formation of racers as they enter the course. The younger Hinton entered racing as a crew member on Strega, Bill "Tiger" Destefani's hot-rod Mustang, and in 2009, as Strega's 22-year-old pilot, became the youngest person in history to win an Unlimited Gold race. (There is no longer an unlimited category in speed records, but that has nothing to do with the Unlimited racing class, for piston-driven airplanes weighing more than 4,500 pounds.)
Pilot Steve Hinton, seven-time air-race winner, is all concentration before his record attempt.
When he was 15 or 16, Stevo Hinton says, he found in the attic his dad's three-kilometer speed trophy. "That was about the same time I got bit by the air racing bug real hard," he remembers. He started reading about the speed record, researching its history in the Planes of Fame museum library. "It made me a more goal-oriented person," he says. Learning about it made him think "This is something I really want to do." He kept the old trophy on a shelf in his bedroom, a daily reminder of a goal he wasn't sure would ever be within his reach.
A Horse of a Different Color
"When they designed these planes back in the '40s, they didn't have any of the computational fluid dynamics [CFD] tools we have today," says Danny Sikavi, chief of aerodynamics for Aviation Partners, a firm that designs and installs wingtip devices, or winglets, on corporate jets and airliners to make them more fuel efficient. Sikavi's team used CFD software to analyze Voodoo's airfoils. He says, "It was getting pretty strong shocks on both the upper and lower surfaces."
In 2010, when he was still with the Strega racing team, Hinton met Aviation Partners CEO Joe Clark. Clark talked to him about sponsoring Strega for a record attempt. "We couldn't put it together at the time," says Hinton. "Tiger didn't want to risk his asset for little or no return, which is understandable. Who risks a $2 million asset for nothing but personal satisfaction?"
As it turned out, Voodoo owner Bob Button. But in 2013, when Hinton switched to the Voodoo team, the Mustang was not the airplane Strega had been. "It flew horrible," Hinton said. "The airfoils on the wing, horizontal, and vertical [stabilizers] were incorrect. The incidence on the tail was wrong. The canopy never fit well. The scoop was old. There were a lot of things I thought we could do better."
From 2013 through 2015, Hinton, transferring all he had learned by working on Strega, helped his new team bring Voodoo to the sharp edge of piston-engine performance. In 2016, after his third Unlimited win in Voodoo, Hinton found that Clark was still interested in sponsoring a run at the record. And Clark had an idea for making the now fast Mustang even faster.
"I didn't want to just throw money at the record," says Clark. "Anybody can do that. I wanted to add value."
Clark's aerodynamicists and engineers went to work.
The shock waves Sikavi found in CFD studies were the result of supersonic airflow over portions of the wing, and they cause abrupt increases in drag. The engineers began to look for ways to weaken the shocks or delay their formation. With computer-aided design and CFD software, they prescribed pressure distribution over the wing. They then created shapes that eliminated or weakened the shock. They maintained the profiles of portions that were shock-free.
"Most of the changes occurred on the wing's upper surface," Sikavi says. "On the lower surface, we were limited to the inner portion of the wing."
The final shape of the airfoils increased the airplane's critical Mach number, the speed at which drag rises rapidly. "In other words," Sikavi says, "we had the same amount of drag from the wing but at a higher airspeed." The modification increased Voodoo's critical Mach from 0.72 to 0.76. That difference may seem small, but it represents a remarkable performance gain: at 7,000 feet, an additional 28 mph on the same horsepower.
The design was made final in February 2017, and Hinton's team, working with Aviation Partners, began the physical modifications for a run at the record planned for July. To produce the most precise airfoil, Voodoo's wings were de-mated, stripped to bare metal, then laser mapped. Using the digital data, Aviation Partners milled 35 carbon-fiber pieces to be applied to the wing to change its shape.
For two weeks of 14-hour days, Hinton and teammate B.J. Healis installed the machined parts at precisely mapped locations on Voodoo's wings with corrosion-inhibiting adhesive and rivets. After the final piece was installed, the team had to fill and smooth the new surface. Then the hard part began: Hinton, Healis, and teammate Ben Marsh, who had worked on Voodoo's wing the last time it was profiled, spent hundreds of hours sanding, refilling, measuring, and sanding again. Once the work was complete, the wing was painted, clear-coated, polished, and re-mated to the fuselage.
As the modifications were getting under way, Joe Clark requested another big transformation for the racer. Voodoo lost its garish purple, orange, and green race paint and emerged at the end of the summer wearing a classy, creamy white. (The photos of white Voodoo that the team posted on the Internet caused their own shock waves among race fans grown accustomed to the racing livery.) A number of the aircraft Clark's company had used as testbeds had worn white, and Clark and Hinton decided that a white airplane would provide the best billboard.

Power and Pressure
As work and planning progressed, the team selected Clark's private ranch and airstrip in Idaho's high country as the location for the attempt. High summer temperatures and a 5,500-foot elevation made the airstrip optimal. For maximum speed, airplanes like the Mustang perform best in thin air at high altitudes. Less dense air nets a higher true airspeed, the actual speed an aircraft moves through the atmosphere (as opposed to indicated speed, calculated by the amount of air molecules entering instruments). High temperature offers additional help for the same reason; hot air is less dense.
The reverse is true when it comes to the engine; less dense air means the engine will generate less horsepower. Fortunately, the supercharger in racing-modified V-12 engines can shove more air into the cylinders, producing wild amounts of "boost," or increased manifold pressure. The internal combustion engine mixes fuel and air; the more air you can pump through the engine (via the supercharger) and the more fuel (via the pump and metered by the carburetor), the more power you can make.
Stock Mustang engines produce 1,425 horsepower at 60 inches of manifold pressure and 3,000 rpm. The supercharger in a racing V-12 can produce up to 140 inches of manifold pressure. For the record attempt, Voodoo's engine produced 3,100 horsepower. (Few of these settings are automatic. Pilots adjust manifold pressure and rpms as they fly.)
Stuffing more air leads to another problem: too much heat. The thermodynamics experts counter the heat with massive amounts of ADI, anti-detonation injection, a 50/50 mix of distilled water and methanol sprayed into the engine.
Air races are rough on engines, and sometimes a race is lost because the engine can't stand up to the demands placed on it. (In 2015, after five laps, engine problems forced Hinton out of the race.) At the 2016 event, Hinton didn't need to use big power to win; nevertheless, after the race, Bob Button sent the engine to José Flores, owner of Vintage V-12s, in Tehachapi, California, one of the most respected engine shops in the country. Flores is a master at building Merlins that will rage around the race course and survive the inferno. A few months after the the Merlin arrived in Tehachapi, the Voodoo team sent a second one: insurance against problems with the primary.
The crew can learn a lot from running Voodoo's Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 at night. If compression is low in a cylinder or a spark plug isn't firing, they will see evidence in the exhaust flame. The color of the flame also indicates whether a cylinder is getting the optimal fuel-air mixture.
The proof that the engine would sustain its power through the four laps of the record attempt would come only during the attempt itself. But to get an indication of how it would behave, the team set up for flight testing.
Early tests showed that the airframe modifications had resulted in significant gains in performance. "The airplane accelerated much faster to the high-speed realm," Hinton says. "At 100 inches [of manifold pressure], I'd never seen a speed that fast before."
Delays in the fabrication of the wing's puzzle pieces and in the laborious application of those pieces had caused the late July window to slip to the last days of August. This schedule shoved the record attempt up against the 2017 Reno air races, to be held only a week and a half later. The crew had previously decided to concentrate solely on the speed record; if they didn't blow both engines, they'd discuss racing at Reno.
Moments of Truth
The nine months leading up to the record attempt had been grueling for Hinton. For much of the final three weeks, I spent days with the crew as they worked, overcame obstacles, and kept their focus on the goal. By that time, Hinton hadn't been home in months, yet despite the long hours, he remained enthusiastic and friendly. Work had started on the airplane the previous December, and from May onward he had led a small team working 16 to 18 hours a day, seven days a week—without pay. The effort was entirely volunteer. His crew was small and skilled; every member was able to do just about any job. Frank Young, a Voodoo crew member from its first day of racing, knew every nut and bolt of the aircraft; B.J. Healis, an unparalleled aircraft mechanic, was famous as a team player; Bernie Vasquez, a warbird and race pilot himself, could handle everything from paint and body work to engine work to manning the crew radio and telemetry; Ben Marsh knew Voodoo's wing better than anybody; and Cory O'Bryan, Hinton's friend and former roommate, was an experienced airplane painter. Andy Chiavetta, who had built Darryl Greenamyer's Sport-class winning Lancair and had become himself a fixture at Reno, also helped out.
Hinton managed the operation, and his fingerprints were on every part of the airplane. I watched him checking Merlin Fingers, the custom rocker arms within the engine's valve train, which can develop tiny cracks at race power. The next hour he might be juicing the high-octane racing gas with liquid manganese (that helps prevent detonation) or inspecting the course from a helicopter to pick out landmarks.
Andy Chiavetta finishes the induction trunk he built from carbon fiber to limit leakage as it feeds air to the supercharger.
If hairline cracks form in specialized contact pads, they can cause catastrophic engine failure. Hinton inspected the pads, the valves and lifters, and every other part of the airplane.
In the Reno pantheon, Hinton is a rarity. Unlike most of the pilots who fly the big, expensive Unlimited racers, he's not a specialist brought in only to fly the airplane. He's a warbird mechanic, who learned from old-school pilots and guys with 60-weight oil under their fingernails. "I enjoy the work," Hinton says. "You're trying to figure out what makes these 70-year-old machines tick. If something breaks, you have to understand why it broke. There are no computers to diagnose the problem. It's something that challenges you and pushes you." Hinton was about to get pushed.
The team had measured and marked the course, and Voodoo was ready for the record flight. Hinton's father was on hand to pilot a Lockheed T-33 jet, equipped with a new gyro-stabilized camera system provided by Pursuit Aviation. He would also be available to play the role he had played for dozens of pilots in dozens of Unlimited races: If something goes wrong, it's Steve Hinton's voice the pilot hears on the radio, offering advice, talking the pilot through the emergency.
Stevo climbed into Voodoo, took off, and made two maximum-power passes to measure how much fuel and ADI were consumed so the team could calculate the minimum needed at race power, plus some reserve, so Hinton wouldn't be carrying unnecessary liquid—and weight. After he landed, the crew measured how much was left in the tanks. The news wasn't good. The engine was flowing too much fuel—so much, in fact, that the airplane couldn't carry enough for the required four passes. The trouble turned out to be a faulty carburetor. A spare was readied and installed, and Hinton took off to test it at high power.
At Joe Clark's airstrip in Idaho, Hinton flies a full-power test pass over the three-kilometer course to measure fuel and coolant consumption before the record attempt.
As he brought the throttle up through 100 inches of manifold pressure, the engine violently backfired. A mighty jolt to the airframe was accompanied by belches of smoke from both sides of the engine. Hinton immediately brought the power back and arced to a safe landing.
I could see stress and exhaustion showing in his bearing as Hinton walked away from the airplane. He was trying to hold it together; at the same time, he needed to vent his frustration. He fired off an expletive before joining the crew to analyze what had happened.
The engine backfire was serious. The crew tore into the engine and discovered a problem with one of the valve seats, a metal ring against which the valve rests when it's closed. The seat hindered valve movement, and that in turn disrupted fuel flow, causing the backfire. The engine wasn't damaged, but the attempt couldn't be made until the part was replaced. The team deliberated: Should they fix this engine or install the backup? It was a gamble they couldn't afford to lose. After a phone conference with Flores, they removed the offending bank of cylinders and flew it to his shop for repair. The decision was to stick with engine number one; at least they knew what they had.
Three days were lost, and when the repaired bank was installed and ready, August had ended. Weather became the next problem. Smoke from numerous wildfires in the Pacific Northwest had fouled the air and limited visibility to three miles, an uncomfortable limit for a pilot who would be flying at around 792 feet per second. Worse, the meteorologists were forecasting lower temperatures over the next several days. The window for Hinton's attempt was closing.
In the smoky afternoon sun on September 2, Hinton's fiancée Jane Lynch (today, she's Jane Hinton) walked him out to Voodoo. Cockpit video cameras and the FAI's tracking equipment were turned on, and, after a few fist-bumps with the crew, Hinton climbed into the cockpit to begin his methodical strap-in routine. The repaired Merlin fired to life, and Voodoo taxied out for takeoff.
Hinton transmitted to Vasquez from the end of the runway: "I like it."
The telemetry screen in front of Vasquez showed Voodoo's vital signs in real time. Hinton lined up on the runway, pushed the throttle forward, and began his takeoff roll.
"ADI," said Vasquez. "Got it," Hinton replied. Voodoo wailed by center field and gently left the ground; Hinton folded the landing gear and banked downwind to begin the attempt. The Merlin's sound trailed off into a muted buzz somewhere in the dull, orange sky.
In Voodoo's cockpit, Hinton was watching the engine vital signs on the instrument panel before him. He was constantly tweaking the ADI with a valve on the panel that fine-tunes the amount of water/methanol mix flowing to the engine. The workload was high; any change in power, speed, or altitude required a small change in ADI. But the pilot was at the top of his game. He had won Reno seven times by flying consistent, machine-like laps and hitting the same piece of sky every time.
After the first pass, Hinton banked right to perform the turnaround, a 2.5-G maneuver designed to balance scrubbing speed without expending too much time, fuel, and ADI. It was a delicate act. With his altimeter and vertical speed needles bouncing wildly at the extreme airspeed, Hinton had to somehow make sense of their readings and stay within the required 1,500 feet of the ground.
The second pass, at 527.34 mph, was almost 30 mph slower than the first; the effect of the entry dive had worn off. The third reached 528.48 mph, then another fade of ungodly engine howl to the west. The crew, watching through binoculars, reported seeing oil—massive streaks of exhaust staining the fuselage sides.
On a peaceful evening before the 2017 Planes of Fame Museum Air Show, the two rivals Voodoo and Strega sweep across California's Lake Matthews. Title-holder Voodoo leads, but in the next matchup, positions could change.
In the cockpit, Hinton knew from the very start that the engine wasn't making the required power. The manifold pressure gauge read 117 inches; it should have been 130 or more.
During the third pass, Hinton caught the oil pressure dropping from 120 to 70 pounds. The drop was a sign that the engine was failing. Vasquez came over the radio a second later with the same bad news.
"I see it," Hinton radioed.
Should he continue the run and hope the engine held together or reduce power and land? Was there an instant when he flashed on the pilots who had pushed hard and crashed at Reno? If he pulled up now, what would all the months of work mean? There wouldn't be enough time to try again.
Hinton banked steeply. Instead of the 2.5-G turn, he pulled 4.5 Gs to head back toward the runway for the fourth and final run. The sharp bank was his decision to get the airplane pointed toward the runway immediately, in case the engine did quit, or worse, blew up. He said later, "Those three seconds were the most intense of the entire attempt."
The higher-G turn scrubbed off a lot more speed; that would hurt the average. The white dot to the west grew into an airplane again as he lined up for the last pass.
As Hinton and Voodoo flashed over the runway one final time, Vasquez keyed his mic so the pilot could hear the magnificent sound for himself. "Thanks for that," Hinton replied.
Failing engine and all, Voodoo clocked at 515.62 mph on the final pass.
The Final Reckoning
When Voodoo was towed inside, it looked beat. After a short time, the FAI observer had crunched the preliminary data and approached the small crowd waiting in the hangar. His announcement: 531.53 mph (later revised to 531.64). Voodoo had shattered the weight-class record of 416 mph. The official, knowing that Hinton was gunning for Shelton's record, also noted that Hinton had not hit his goal. A number of us murmured disappointment, but Bob Button, his booming voice filling the hangar, changed the mood: "Hey! We set the record, people!" Button shouted. "We are the fastest piston-engine airplane in the world!"
Gathered around the stained, dripping racer, people began to exchange hugs and the buzz of talk and laughter grew louder. As the celebration gained momentum, a Voodoo crew member used his finger to scrawl some numbers in the engine exhaust stain on the raceplane's fuselage: "531>528." Hinton had beaten Shelton's speed.
But not by one percent.
After the flight, Hinton briefed his father (green flight suit) and airplane sponsor Joe Clark.
A teammate's graffiti on Voodoo's fuselage. Can't argue with mathematics.
In the decades ahead, many will tell the story, which sounds like a fairy tale, of a young virtuoso who reigned at Reno for almost a decade then reached for his childhood dream. And they will all wince when they repeat the phrase "but not by one percent." But is that how the story ends?
After the record win, Button donated Voodoo to the Planes of Fame museum, and recently, as Hinton was reflecting on the record, he said, "There are quite a few things we'd change if we were lucky enough to do it again. We feel like the airplane can go faster. We left some on the table." The magic number of one percent greater than Shelton's 528.31 mph is 533.59. And one percent faster than Hinton's own record is 536.95. "We feel like the airplane is capable of 540," Hinton says.
Hinton, again reflectively, says he's trying to start raising the money that would be required for another run at the record. Interviewing the crew about their 2017 experience, I can guess that it wouldn't be hard to put the band back together. "If you leave something on the table and feel like there's room for improvement," Hinton says, "and have a path to get there…," he trails off.
Is it possible to rewrite the ending of a fairy tale? There may be another entire chapter. Steve Hinton is only 30 years old.

A Labour government can unite working-class Leavers and Remainers – all of whom are suffering under Tory austerity Britain, says Unite leader LEN McCLUSKEY
while today's Durham Miners' Gala is always a highlight of my year, every time I come here my mind goes back to the evil of Margaret Thatcher and how she set out to destroy the miners. That memory isn't such a highlight.
It's 35 years since the beginning of the miners' strike and the start of Thatcher's programme to close the pits and we see the lasting impact of the biggest act of industrial vandalism ever.
The devastation of our former mining communities is replicated in the deindustrialisation of cities and towns the length and breadth of our country.
In north-east England, more working people are now in low-paid, zero-hours, caring, hospitality and other precarious jobs than elsewhere in the country.
This is a region in desperate need of the hope a left Labour government can offer, and yet there are some within Labour's ranks who believe that in order to stop Brexit we should write off working-class areas that voted Leave as somehow lost to progressive politics.
People with a proud history of solidarity and pride in their communities and labour movement, but who, apparently, we should abandon because they're now all bigots and racists. Abandon them just as Thatcher did 40 years ago, and as decades of neoliberal governments have done since, and as our almost certain to be next prime minister, Boris Johnson, will continue to do.
A man who won't be chosen by the British people but by a reactionary ragtag of Tories, entirely unrepresentative of the country, and who has shown such contempt for working-class people and the poverty forced on them by his party's vindictive austerity economics that he's pledged tax cuts for the rich, with the top 10 per cent of earners set to benefit from three-quarters of that cut.
People didn't vote for Brexit because they've become part of a nationalism that makes them lost to Labour forever. They did it because they feel cast aside by Westminster, and the Tories' disastrous handling of Brexit has only deepened the despair and disillusion among these communities.
Labour, committed as it is to rebuilding our manufacturing base with a coherent industrial and investment strategy, with trade unions as industry partners, must never again walk away from those whose lives and communities have been ravaged by neoliberal dogma.
To dismiss class in favour of a culture war will only separate our party from its social roots and will undoubtedly pit big cities against the rest and lose us constituencies vital for a Labour majority, without securing compensating gains elsewhere.
That's why I reject this new division of the country into "Remainers" and "Leavers." There will be both at today's Gala, but as trade unionists Brexit doesn't divide us. Our values of fairness, equality, justice and solidarity bind us together.
And Brexit, hugely damaging as it has become, does not change the fact that ultimately it is the free market and right-wing governments that are the real cause of both the long-term decline of our industrial base, our slide into a predominantly service sector economy and the manufacturing emergency we are now in the grip of, including Honda and Ford's recent decisions to abandon the loyal and highly skilled workforces that have worked tirelessly to build their world-leading plants.
It started while Britain was firmly in the European Union and it will not be solved by leaving or remaining on its own.
Though let me be clear: I'm very comfortable with the Brexit consensus that has been reached after consultation and debate with unions, members and the NEC, that if the next Tory prime minister gets a new deal that does not protect the economy and jobs, or settles on a no deal, Labour will demand a referendum, and campaign for Remain.
And as someone who has consistently said that I want a second referendum in the shape of a general election, I am happy too with our agreement that, in the event of that election, which it looks like we'll be fighting within months, then we should seek to agree a deal that respects the 2016 vote. That deal should then be put back to the people with Remain as an option.
I believe this position both respects and will satisfy the 48 per cent who voted to remain, and the 52 per cent who voted to leave. No-one is abandoned.
And now we have that agreement, all Labour MPs and our members should concentrate on the reality of what will happen with Johnson as prime minister, a man who is going to disregard half of our nation, while the new Liberal Democrat leader will disregard the other half.
Jeremy Corbyn is the only person who is speaking for the whole nation, and a Corbyn government is the only one able to solve this country's problems.
When I last spoke at Durham, Corbyn had just come within touching distance of No 10. The result was a vindication for everyone who stood by Jeremy, for the coalition that came together to support him and for our radical manifesto, which gave us a fantastic new vision for our country.
We gave people the chance to believe that another world really is possible, and absolutely nothing has changed.
Thatcher didn't destroy the spirit of the miners — and the evidence will be in Durham today, in glorious technicolour. Let's not let anyone try again to destroy the spirit of our movement and our party.
A Johnson government can be derailed and we can secure the prize of a general election. If we stay united and maintain that coalition of 2017, then we will win a Labour government to transform our country and heal its divisions.
Len McCluskey is general secretary of Unite the Union.

While searching for new composers to commission, our clarinetist Nick Gallas suggested Lembit Beecher and described his work And Then I Remember, based on stories told by the composer's grandmother. This gave us the idea for the "Memory Project," three pieces we would commission based on memories told to us and the composers in interviews with our audiences at Bayside Senior Center, Elm-Cor Senior Center in Elmhurst and seniors at the Salvation Army in Jackson Heights. We matched each composer to a group of seniors: Lembit with the folks at Bayside, Carl MaultsBy with the seniors at Elm-Cor and Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin with the seniors in Jackson Heights.
The Quintet received a Chamber Music America Residency grant for the Quintet's activities, and the project was launched in the fall of 2012. The Quintet introduced the concept by playing concerts of music important to each Quintet member. This was followed by meetings at each center with the composers and Quintet members interviewing the seniors. We made a video so pictures of the seniors could be used to accompany the new works. These seniors had heard the Quintet perform many times but now we had a chance to get to know their stories!
The seniors' interest in inter-generational projects inspired us to expand the project into the Renaissance Charter School in Jackson Heights and the Langston Hughes Library after-school program. We performed concerts and held workshops with the students on composition. Ljova has written us a new piece to perform with students in Jackson Heights and the students in the afterschool program made instruments and composed pieces to perform on our concert at Langston Hughes Library.
The composers have finished the new works and we were thrilled to be premiering them at each center. See Concerts for details. As a result of the interviews, we have developed a stronger bond with our special audience of seniors. They, in turn, have had the opportunity to form a bond with a composer. They are as excited as we are to hear the new works, "their new works".

Pałac Narodu (fr. Palais de la Nation) − jest aktualnie oficjalną rezydencją prezydenta Demokratycznej Republiki Konga od 2001 w stolicy kraju Kinszasie.

Początkowo pałac służył jako rezydencja Głównego Gubernatora, który był najwyższym funkcjonariuszem kolonii belgijskiej i reprezentantem króla Belgii. Pałac jest ważnym elementem kongijskiej tożsamości narodowej, gdyż to tu 30 czerwca 1960 odbyła się proklamacja niepodległości Konga oraz rozwiązanie rządu kolonialnego.
