A story has been told over and over in conversations worldwide of how United States President John Kennedy once visited NASA. He passed a cleaner working away and asked him what his job was. An interesting enough situation for a President to ask someone what they do when it is obvious, however, the cleaner replied 'My job is to help to put a man on the moon.' Such Charisma isn't often seen from a cleaner to a president.
This story has always resonated with me and I have told it many times myself when working with people and organisations. There has been some debate around whether this story is true or not, but what it illustrates is the cleaner's complete engagement with the aims of NASA, the mission, values and strategy. What if it had been anyone else that Kennedy had spoken to? What sort of answer would he have received? Was everyone at NASA engaged with this same value within the organisation.
The Goals and Values of the organisation are key to setting out the story that will be followed as they set sail to develop the business and grow. Organisations the world over spend hundreds of thousands to develop a mission statement, values and competencies that are a blueprint for a way of working. However everywhere I go in the world I meet with people that don't really buy into them as they are just words, some people understand what they are and what they mean to the way they work but aren't really in tune with what they mean for them. The missing link is how they connect with these values on a personal level, how they connect their lives to their work and achieve balance.
Being in tune, engagement, having that Charisma, isn't something that can be done to people, it is a mindset that is developed by each and every person. If you walk into an office and feel the "buzz" or that great "energy" it isn't an accident. The place you are visiting is working with individuals in order for them to fully engage and take their business to new places, achieving more and being more productive.
If a holiday company's goals are to sell as many holidays as possible, and my personal goal is to create wonderful holidays that people remember, I may be working hard but I will not buy into what my company is doing because I don't value the goals and values and thus won't reach my true performance potential. The other applies If the holiday company's goals and values are to create amazing holidays that people will remember and I just want to come into work and do my job, I'm not bothered about their holidays then I'm not part of the company's bigger picture and won't be as productive as the people who are, those that have their sense of purpose.
Does your organisation have a buzz of energy that vibrates at the heart of everything you do? Are your Goals, Values and Mission about performance management or performance enhancement?
This is the year of change, build your Fully Engaged Organisation to compliment the bigger brighter future on offer.

Q: How much of a myth was Tom Riddle? And did the Death Eaters know he was a Half Blood, not a Pure Blood? Additional duplicate: Did the Death Eaters Know Voldemort Was a Half-Blood?
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, we first hear the name Tom Riddle. Until the end of the book, Tom appears to be good, although mysterious. In the school, there is even a trophy with his name on it which he won for special services to the school. Then when Harry goes to the Chamber of Secrets, we find out Tom is actually Lord Voldemort.
Now, why would the trophy for Tom Riddle still be up in the school if it was well known that Tom was Voldemort? But at the same time, it wasn't a secret. Dumbledore knew who Tom was. Slughorn knew who he was. Helena Ravenclaw did too as did a few Death Eaters who went to school with him (and probably a few more.) In fact, Lucius Malfoy knew the diary he had which he sneaked into Ginny's bucket belonged to Voldemort, and it had the name Tom Marvolo Riddle on it. So he must have knew his true name. So how many people knew? There must have been stories written about him after he was presumed dead following the murder of the Potters. Surely one newspaper then tried to find out more about who he was and where he came from.
But even after Harry knew, and he presumbly told a few friends, we never hear anyone other than Harry and Dumbledore call him Tom. I understand that Voldemort was his name then, so it made more sense. But how many people really knew the truth about Tom?
For that matter, if the Death Eaters knew he was Tom Riddle, then they must have known he wasn't Pure Blood. There were probably Half Blood Death Eaters too, but wasn't it a bit strange to Pure Blood Death Eaters that they were being led by someone who wasn't? It couldn't have been too big secret, since Dumbledore said he went after Harry and not Neville because Harry was a Half Blood. But was it just Dumbledore who thought of that? Did the Death Eaters know this is why he choose to go after Harry? And again, Lucius had the diary. At the least, he knew his true name. Didn't he ever do any digging? Or was Tom being a descendent of Slytherin himself enough to ignore his Muggle family?
So basically, was it well known that Tom Riddle was Voldemort and did the Death Eaters know he was a Half Blood?

Short-term assessment of the sediment deposition rate and water conditions during a rainy season on La Azufrada coral reef, Gorgona Island, Colombia
Diego F Lozano-Cortés, Alan Giraldo, Vanessa Izquierdo
One of the major stresses on corals is the settlement of suspended sediment on their surfaces. This leads to the blocking of light, the covering of the coral mucus surface and an increased risk of disease. For this reason sediment deposition on a reef is considered a highly important variable in coral reef studies. With the use of sediment traps and oceanographic sensors, the sediment deposition rate and water conditions during a rainy season (April-May 2009) on a Tropical Eastern Pacific coral reef (La Azufrada) at Gorgona Island in Colombia were investigated. To quantify sediment deposition, sediment traps were established in nine stations along the coral reef (three stations per reef zone: backreef, flat and slope). To minimize disturbance by aquatic organisms in the sediment traps these were filled with hypersaline borax-buffered 10% formaline solution before their deployment; animals found in the filter contents were fixed and stored in a 4% formalin solution, frozen and identified in the laboratory. To determine the water conditions, discrete samples of water from 1 m and 10 m depths were collected using a Niskin bottle. Oceanographic variables (temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen) as well as turbidity, chlorophyll and nutrient concentration (nitrite, nitrate and phosphorus) were measured in the samples from both depths. Vertical records of temperature and salinity were carried out with a Seabird-19 CTD nearest to La Azufrada and water transparency was measured using a Secchi disk. We found a mean trap collection rate of 23.30±4.34gm-2d-1 and did not detect a significant difference in the trap collection rate among reef zones. The mean temperature and salinity in the coral reef depth zone (0-10m layer) were 26.98±0.19°C and 32.60±0.52, respectively. Fourteen taxonomic groups of invertebrates were detected inside the sediment traps with bivalves and copepods being the most abundant and frequen. The findings presented here constitute the first report of both the potential sediment deposition rates and the water conditions of La Azufrada coral reef. Rev. Biol. Trop. 62 (Suppl. 1): 107-116.

Q: ZF3 route with access to db I am new to zend framework 3 and I am trying to create a new route type that can search in the database to match the route path. I am using doctrine orm and unfortunately I don't know how to inject the entity manager inside the route class.
I tried defining a factory class for the route to have access to the service manager but that didn't work because the route classes must implement Zend\Router\Http\RouteInterface which states that the route class must contain it's own factory defined as "function factory($options)".
Can anyone please help?
Thank you very much.

A: In the way you ask the question you have to write your custom Router strategy relying on zend-router's interfaces and abstractions.
For eg. ZF support different router strategies to match the URL (as in any modern framework) but you need to write the custom router strategy to access the DB and return what controller/action should be executed.
To be honest if you are new to ZF3 maybe try to solve the problem on little bit less advanced way.
Other solution, maybe you can create dynamic router and pass URL_SLUG.
Than you will have one action where you will check what content you should load from the DB by URL_SLUG (or any other ID you choose).

Hello everyone! I'm Lauren, and this is my first post on Les Trois Pois! My roommate came to visit before school starts, so while she was down here, we decided to get a head start on stuff for our dorm room. Our big project was making the headboards to spice up our otherwise bland dorm beds. This project was surprisingly easy! Here are the steps for how to make your own DIY headboard (click on the photos to make them bigger!).
Fabric: We bought our fabric at Joann's Fabrics, and had them cut the pieces to the size we needed. You can use any type of fabric, however, thicker fabrics are less likely to rip and will provide more cushion. We ended up buying cotton quilted fabric because we liked the thickness and the stitching. Our beds are 39" wide and we wanted the headboard to be 36" high, so we purchased 43" by 40". That way there would be two extra inches on each side. We purchased the same amount of batting.
Wood: We chose the ½" plywood at Home Depot because it was relatively light and inexpensive. They also cut it to scale for us which was super nice!
First, draw a straight line lengthwise down the center of the board.
Next, place the thumbtack (with string attached) somewhere on this line. This placement will depend on how long your string is and how steep you want your curve to be. You want the tip of the string long enough to reach the very edge of the board, but short enough to leave room on the sides for the other curves. Just keep adjusting until you find a curve that will work for you. (You are basically just making your own compass, see below).
For the next two curves, you will have to place the thumbtack in the upper corners. Again you will have to adjust the spot you put the tack based your curve preference, but you want these curves to intersect with the big curve you drew in the center. Also make sure that you place the tack in the same position on both sides to guarantee that your board will be symmetrical. An easy way to adjust the string is to tie a knot to secure your place. In the second photo, I colored the main curve blue and the second curve green so you can see the intersection.
Lay the batting on a table, center the wood on top, and then cut off the extra fabric on the top corners.
Ok! Now staple the batting to the wood with the staple gun. You just need enough staples to secure it because you will be adding a lot more when you attach the fabric.
The curves are a little more difficult, but just cut some 1-2 inch strips into the batting so that it lies flat. You may need some extra hands to help! My mom was sweet enough to help us!
Before you start stapling, place a little bit of batting in the corners to provide extra cushion. This will keep the corners from ripping easily. Then it's the same method as the before, but with more staples! You want to make sure everything is smooth and secure.
For the corners, pinch the fabric, smooth down as shown below, and staple away!
And then you're done! Woo!
Thank you for reading my post! Please leave a comment below with any questions, and let us know how your headboards turn out!
New school year means new headboard design! The color scheme in my room has changed, so I decided to give my headboard a makeover! It is the same headboard, I just added on more fabric!
so how did it work in your dorm room. my daughter wants me to make her one for this semester.
Oh my, yours is so AWESOME!
Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply! We screwed two 2x4s onto the back, and then zip-tied those to the bedposts!

Bumble Confirms Advertisement Featuring Serena Williams Will Most Likely Air During SuperBowl
Bumble affirmed that a brand new advertising featuring the latest star companion Serena Williams will debut throughout very first half the SuperBowl.
Based on AdWeek, Bumble mocked a brand new venture with the tennis star, admitting it would coordinate using SuperBowl, although it was not clear should they happened to be intending to air an advertisement during the video game, one of the most-watched annual events in the U.S. (and something really expensive offer buys). Bumble has now affirmed their particular very first SuperBowl ad will feature Serena Williams in addition to their brand new campaign "The Ball is within the woman Court."
Bumble, a female-friendly relationship software, is seriously interested in the female-empowerment goal. In the last four years, the brand provides debuted choices that appeal specifically to females, eg partnering with Moxy Hotels to offer BumbleSpot – proven locations in which Bumble users can satisfy for times, job marketing, or potential brand new relationships – in an effort to make safe rooms for women.
The advertising with Williams will feature the woman rise to celeb, "not just as a professional playing tennis celebrity but as a business owner, role product, girlfriend and mother," relating to AdWeek. The spot was created by a mostly feminine staff and guided by A.V. Rockwell, an award-winning screenwriter and movie director whoever work tackles issues on race and oppression.
The content on the advertisement will be promote females to control their particular stories, something Bumble has-been excited about from debut of its blacks only dating application, giving ladies the ability to help make the very first step.
In an intro video when it comes to SuperBowl offer, that will air February 3rd, Bumble granted a glimpse of what to anticipate.
"we are located in a global and society in which men and women are starting to see differently and starting to realize that we have been in the same way powerful and merely as smart and merely as experienced and just because businesslike as some other male these days," Williams states as you're watching digital camera, which in turn pans to their helping a basketball in an empty courtroom. "And now it is time to show up and inform our story how it must be advised."
AdWeek remarked that the female-forward Bumble offer promotion is rare for a SuperBowl, that will be this type of a male-dominated space, and more extremely unlikely that a typically feminine team would develop such a SuperBowl advertising.
"There are plenty of ladies who are willing and eager [to be involved in Super Bowl], and each woman involved [in Bumble's spot] had much enthusiasm," Bumble chief brand officer Alexandra Williamson told AdWeek.
She continued to express: "People will see a different sort of part to Serena when this advertising goes real time, and I also would attribute that to an all-female group doing it."

Column: True crime podcasts are useful
True crime podcasts such as "Crime Junkie" are available on most podcast streaming service platforms. "Crime Junkie" is one of the most popular true crime podcasts available.
By Photo Illustration by Vanessa Purpura

While true crime podcasts deal with sensitive subject matter, they can be used for educational purposes and give useful information on life-saving incidents, as well as examples of what you can do in the future to stay safe through the examination of past cases.
There has always been a market for morbidly curious people. Most people will always be interested in things that scare them or have a gruesome takes on the mundane. A new addition to this not-so-niche group are true crime podcasts.
Often considered the OG true-crime podcast, "Serial" took the world by storm by telling one story throughout an entire season. The first season focused on attempting to prove Adnan Syed's innocence after he was convicted for his ex-girlfriend's murder. This podcast aided others in becoming popular, such as "Crime Junkie," My Favorite Murder" and "Morbid: A True Crime Podcast".
Podcasts, such as Crime Junkie, take each episode to focus on a different sort of case, such as a serial killer, mysterious murders or missing persons. Often the hosts will go into great depth about what happened in the cases and can get highly graphic and disturbing, especially when the case involves children.
One question comes to mind when thinking about the popularity of these podcasts: Is obsessively listening to these programs about murder and sexual assault sensationalizing violence?
Our society glazes over the victims of these monsters in favor of sensationalizing the man behind the murders.
How many victims can you name from "famous" serial killers, such as John Wayne Gayce or Jeffery Dahmer? Instead of memorializing the victims, the media, especially in old cases, oftentimes only names the killer. There must be a shift from glorifying the evil of the perpetrator to focusing on the experience and lives of the victims.
Even though some podcasts focus on those gory details that we don't need to know, they also serve as an informational tool. They talk about the victims and analyze the psychology behind why someone would do something so awful. They look at cases that might be wrongful convictions and sometimes provide very useful information that could help listeners know what could be going on in their community if the case or podcast is local and help authority figures get information from the public if the case is ongoing.
Other podcasts, such as "Serial," take a look at old cases that might have been false convictions. A local podcast, "Undisclosed," by Colin Miller, a professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, called investigates wrongful convictions. He looks into the investigation, the trial and the verdict and brings up new evidence that didn't make it into court. This has led to over 10 exonerations so far. Miller, along with two other attorneys, teach listeners about the legal system.
"A big component of our podcast is teaching the public about different legal concepts, how the criminal justice system works, so they can better understand the system if they become jurors, or they are trying to work on legislation or just trying to understand what's going on with a loved one if they are involved in the criminal justice system," Miller said.
Recently, a case that has struck the media is the disappearance and death of social media influencer Gabby Petito. This case got national attention, and many knew who Petito and boyfriend Brian Laundrie were. This overall knowledge helped new leads get back to the authorities, such as a couple finding Petito's van because they saw it on the news.
Another thing that true crime podcasts can provide is life-saving information and tips. Crime Junkie's motto is 'stay weird, stay rude and stay alive.' In its episodes, it urges listeners, especially women, that it's okay to be rude to people who make you uncomfortable. It's okay to be a little weird if that means staying alive.
A narrative that most shows try to push is sticking to your gut. It's probably in your best interest to say no to the creepy "injured" man asking for assistance.
Listening to true crime podcasts regularly should not be for pure entertainment, but to inform yourself about the past and to educate yourself on what can be done differently in the future.

disjointedly
"Donegal, o' course. I was born there." Hauling from his pocket a pencil and a worn envelope, Mr. Wrenn joyously added the new point of interest to a list ranging from Delagoa Bay to Denver. He skipped up-town, looking at the stars. He shouted as he saw the stacks of a big Cunarder bulking up at the end of Fourteenth Street.

So far no enemy had been seen. The two great liners reached the first battleship together, and were joined by the second pair of cruisers. Before sunset the Cunarder had drawn ahead of her companions, and by nightfall was racing away alone over the water with every light carefully concealed, and keeping an eager look-out for friend or foe.

Bourke, packing hastily to leave Paris, France and Europe by the fastest feasible route, still found time to question Marcel briefly; and what he learned from the boy about his antecedents so worked with gratitude upon the sentimental nature of the Celt, that when on the third day following the Cunarder Carpathia left Naples for New York, she carried not only a gentleman whose brilliant black hair and glowing pink complexion rendered him a bit too conspicuous among her first-cabin passengers for his own comfort, but also in the second cabin his valet a boy of sixteen who looked eighteen.

Further out at sea was the Cunarder, Carpathia, which left New York for the Mediterranean on April 13th. Round she went and plunged back westward to take a hand in saving life.
- Sinking of the Titanic and Great Sea Disasters
"She's going away from here," said Ab. I started: "Who is?" "That Cunarder. Look at the smoke pour out of her stacks. Got a cigarette about you?" "No," I answered gruffly. "Damn." In the slip on our other side a large freight boat was loading, and a herd of scows and barges were pressing close around her. These clumsy craft had cabins, and in some whole families lived. "Harbor Gypsies."
Ernest Poole - The Harbor
We stayed there but one day, and then sailed for home on the Cunarder Orduna which has since been sunk, like many another good ship, by the Hun submarines. But those were the days just before the Hun began his career of real frightfulness upon the sea and under it. Even the Hun came gradually to the height of his powers in this war.
Sir Harry Lauder - A Minstrel in France
Why, you crack-brained, murderin' lunatic, I wouldn't cruise in that hell wagon of yours again for the skipper's wages on a Cunarder. No, nor the mate's hove in! "And that shover he put his head back and laughed and laughed and laughed." "I don't wonder he laughed," observed Wingate, who seemed to enjoy irritating his friend. "You must have been good as a circus."
Joseph Crosby Lincoln - The Depot Master
"Yes, but I'll change it to suit you. Oh, goodie, goodie! You're going, you're going! I'm perfectly happy!" He found business which required a week and booked his passage with Harriet's on a Cunarder which sailed in ten days. A week later Nan and Bivens returned to their New York house. The papers were full of stories of his failing health.
Thomas Dixon - The Root of Evil
I give you, therefore, the third appearance of the Queen of Spades. Au revoir! We sail to-morrow by the Cunarder." The man with the disproportionate ears touched Indiman's elbow. "Beg pardon, sir," he said, deferentially, "but I shall have to have a word or two with you." We drove to the Utinam Club and found a secluded corner. "Now, what is it, officer?" said Indiman.
Van Tassel Sutphen - The Gates of Chance
The law of 1845 was the culmination of a move begun in Congress in 1841, the year after the first Cunarder had crossed from Liverpool to Halifax and Boston.

Regio 7 | "In the past, a satellite used to cost 250 million euros; now, a million, but being in space is expensive"
About Regio7: a news media where you can follow up the latest news and all the information from Manresa and Central Catalonia.
In this interview, our CEO and Co-Founder Jaume Sanpera has shared his insights on the statuquo of Spanish space industry, the current challenges in the IoT industry (cellular coverage!) and our plan of how we can help to tackle these challenges.
Why do you want to deploy 250 nanosatellites?
To provide Internet of Things (IoT) coverage at low cost anywhere in the world. In today's internet of things connectivity, there are two completely different worlds.
One with mobile coverage that reaches 10% of the planet with extremely cheap and compatible equipment. A piece of equipment for IoT within a city covered by a mobile operator costs 5 euros and there are already 2 billion devices like these. Then, there is the rest of the world where there is no mobile coverage and the devices cost 500 euros. Now there are only 5 million of these devices.
Where is this 90% without coverage?
In Spain, it is in rural areas. On a global scale, in the oceans, or in Africa, where coverage is almost non-existent. In North America and South America, the coverage is much lower than in Europe. In these areas, if you want to follow a refrigerated container from end to end from the time it leaves Brazil until it arrives in Paris, you have many areas without coverage.
How do you solve this issue?
We take the standard system used by Mobile Operators, evolve it with them, and deploy satellites that allow existing, 5-euro devices to be used anywhere in the world. This means that you have standard equipment running on a constellation of satellites. This technology, which is unique, will be demonstrated in February with the launch of the first satellite on a Space X rocket (a firm led by Elon Musk). With this satellite, we will demonstrate end-to-end technology with our MNO partner, which is Telefónica.
We will deploy a constellation of what is called low earth orbit Satellites (LEO). Traditional satellites are 30,000 kilometers away. Ours will be located 550 kilometers from earth and will circle the globe. This means that with one satellite we will already have coverage everywhere, but with a very high revisit time.
We will be launching more satellites to reduce this time. At the end of this year, we will have five satellites in orbit and we will enter the commercial phase.
Can you start with just five satellites?
Yes, in the Internet of Things, you have three large groups of applications. A group that is not sensitive to the delay such as agriculture, livestock, or infrastructure; another that works with up to one message per hour as maritime logistics; and a third group of near-real-time communication such as ground logistics. These five initial satellites will serve all applications that are not sensitive to delay time.
In 2024 we will launch 64 more satellites, with these we will be able to cover 70% of the internet of things market. For the remaining 30%, we will need up to 250 satellites to provide service in real-time.
How much funding have you raised so far?
We have raised 12.5 million euros. We first did a seed round and then a series A in which three major shareholders entered: Indra (the aeronautical company of the Ministry of Defense) which has 9% of the shareholding; Cellnex, which has 3%; and Sepides (linked to the State), with 5% of the titles.
How much does it cost to launch a nanosatellite?
We use very small satellites. They occupy 30 centimeters by 20 and by 10 when the solar panels are not deployed and weigh about twelve kilos.
Today, big launchers, like SpaceX, have rockets specialized in launching small satellites. We have reached an agreement with SpaceX to launch our next satellite this February 15th. The price is calculated by the weight, to launch our satellite it will cost us around 150,000 euros.
And the satellite itself?
The satellite, by itself, was about 700,000 euros. We have invested a lot of money in it. Before, a satellite used to cost 250 million euros. Now it costs around a million including the launch. The reduction has been brutal, but despite this, being in space is still expensive.
How advanced is Spain in space solutions?
In Spain, we have all the cards in hand to have a large sector for space. We have our own technology, capacity, and talent thanks to the universities.
However, we lack an investment market like the American one. It is a technology that needs a lot of time to mature and that for a fund is much more complicated.
We created the company in 2018 and we haven't invoiced for four years. That's a lot of time. It is a very important investment without having reached the market yet.
What is the point of a Spanish space agency?
It makes perfect sense and even more now.
Space has been the domain of large corporations and semi-public companies. Now that there is an outbreak and the number of companies is multiplying by one hundred, it is essential to have a Spanish space agency to set up a country strategy.
What is your business model?
It's a super scalable business model. When you launch a constellation of low-orbit satellites, you cover the entire globe and commercially you have to hit everyone.
This can be very complicated, imagine arriving in a country and getting to a customer who doesn't know you or your brand, it costs three years and a lot of money to get their trust.
However, we operate on the same device that the Mobile Operator is already using, what we do is become the coverage extension of those local telcos.

Does David Cameron believe that the Scots are less sensitive than the English when it comes to effing and blinding?
The Prime Minister's descent into demotic speech, telling Scots the referendum isn't politics as usual – 'If you're fed up with the effing Tories, give them a kick, and then maybe we'll think again. This is totally different' – suggests the September 18 vote is getting to him. David Cameron does curse in private. His 'effing and blinding' at retiring Tory MP Chris Kelly reduced the latter to tears. But he's usually more careful in public. He is in England, anyway. Does he presume Scots are less sensitive?
Actor Jim Carter is utterly convincing as Carson, Downton Abbey's puritanical butler. So it was rather shocking to see him in an ITV3 repeat of the 1994 detective series, Cracker. He played a libidinous preacher who copulates explicitly in woods with a schoolgirl played by Samantha Morton, both pictured. What would Downton housekeeper Mrs Hughes say?
The Media Society is to honour the BBC's well-compensated executive, Alan (two salaries plus a pension) Yentob, 67, with a black tie dinner and an award on December 9, offering tickets for this event for a trifling £150. The society's president, Geraldine Sharpe-Newton – deluging gnomic Yentob with a torrent of implausible superlatives – says: 'Alan's contribution is immeasurable.' Like his earnings, say envious colleagues of the Corporation 'lifer'.
How nice to hear again of the once-prominent Ffion Hague, wife for 17 years of Leader of the Commons, William Hague. Discussing the possibility of the Welsh now seeking independence, he says: 'I regularly consult with at least one Welsh citizen. On that evidence, they are praying that the UK will not be broken up.' They met when he was Welsh Secretary and she was one of his civil servants. Ffion seemed happy to be in the limelight in the early days but seems to have become more reclusive.
Privately educated Green MP Caroline Lucas is rebuked by the Speaker for holding up a poster of Brighton Pavilion constituents calling for urgent action on climate change. Speaker John Bercow said: 'If everybody did that with every concern, it would make a mockery of this place.' Goodness, wouldn't that be terrible?

In the previous couple of decades contemporary Christianity has made several futile makes an attempt in achieving out to the youth culture by attempting to enmesh with trendy clothing. If "No Worry" was in style, there was a "Fear God" shirt right powering it in similar lettering. If Hypercolor was the trend, shirts that said "Hyper for Jesus" were created, and so forth and so on. It all seemed so hopeless. And now there is Not of This Globe, the main clothing line offered by the C28 Christian clothes store. The oC28 I visited was at the Solano Shopping mall in Fairfield, California. Presently there are about a dozen more scattered around malls in California and also one in Florida. And if everything stays on the pattern I am viewing in Northern California, there will be many more in the close to long term.

Q. I am a couple of years from retiring. Do you have any recommendations on investing in annuities? Should a person remain in the TSP throughout retirement?
Q. When I retire on December 31, 2018, I will have over 400 hours of combined compensatory time and annual leave. If I cash this in at retirement, I understand it may not be paid out until 1-2 months after retirement. As a result, will it be considered earned income for 2019 that will result in a reduction in my FERS annuity supplement for 2019?
Q. I'm 58 and considering retirement in the near future. I've got about $420,000 in my TSP and I'm leaning toward taking a TSP joint life annuity, since I'm retiring relatively early and might exhaust my TSP by taking regular monthly withdrawals. I know MetLife is a reputable and well-established company. Is there any federal protection or other kind of guarantee for annuitants in the event that MetLife becomes insolvent in the future?
Q. I am 56 years old, and a widow. I'm working my fourth year as a U.S. Postal Service regular carrier. I worked five years as a rural carrier associate before that, one full year as a sub on my primary sub route, where the regular was not there. As I understand it, I have to work five years in order to be vested in my TSP contributions. True?
Q. Since there is no law allowing for the sale of a CSRS annuity, it follows that such an annuity has zero cash value in calculating one's assets. Correct?
Q. Will rolling over from a TSP account at the Department of Veterans Affairs to a Schwab 401(k) account impact my FERS?
Q. When is it beneficial to roll my TSP over to an indexed annuity? I read so much about it not being a good idea, but I would like to hear the other side of the argument.
Q. I am considering leaving the federal government next year when I turn 50. At that time, I will have 27 years of service and will be deferring retirement until I am 62. Is it possible to start collecting an annuity with my TSP balance at that time and will there be a 10 percent penalty for early withdrawal?


New Delhi: Dubbing the Supreme Court direction to the Kolkata police chief to join the CBI probe into the Saradha chit fund scam a "tight slap" for the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal, the BJP Tuesday said it has brought her "political histrionics" to a screeching halt.
Asserting that the order has vindicated the BJP's stand, party leader and Union minister Smriti Irani cited the court's direction to Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar to appear before the CBI for questioning at a "neutral place" like Shillong to claim that it shows a state of lawlessness exists in West Bengal.
The apex court said Kumar will appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Shillong, Meghalaya, and no coercive step, including the arrest of the Kolkata police chief, will take place during the course of the probe.
"With egg on her face, to celebrate it as a moral victory is a dichotomy available only to Mamata Banerjee's realm of politics," the BJP leader told reporters.
After the Supreme Court's observations on Tuesday, Banerjee had said the apex court's direction that no coercive step, including arrest of Kumar, will take place during the course of investigation is "our moral victory".
Soon after the Supreme Court delivered the order, BJP leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said it is a blow to the Mamata Banerjee government and a victory for the CBI.
It also showed that nobody is above the law, including the police commissioner, he added.
Irani said the order should be a matter of introspection and concern for Banerjee and alleged the TMC government has become a symbol of anarchy and 'goondaism'.
She also cited the CBI report that Kumar had "tampered with" call records details of the suspects in the case to hit out at the officer and questioned on whose direction he and his subordinates did so.
Banerjee had started a sit-in from Sunday evening against the CBI's attempt to question the Kolkata Police chief in connection with chit fund scam. She called it off Tuesday evening.
Mocking the get-together of different opposition parties leaders at the site of Banerjee's dharna, Irani said it has become a podium for all "scamsters", for all those who don't believe in law and support "state-sponsored anarchy".
Responding to the West Bengal chief minister's claim that the court's bar on arrest of Kumar was a victory for her stand, Irani said the CBI never said in its communication to Kumar that it wants to arrest him.
Why is she (Banerjee) "hell bent" on political histrionics, Irani wondered, attacking the TMC supremo and asked what is in Kumar's possession that perturbs Banerjee, prompting her to "save" him.
The TMC chief had begun a "Save India" dharna in front of Metro Cinema in the heart of Kolkata on Sunday night insisting that the latest CBI action was tantamount to stifling the spirit of "Constitution and federalism" in the country.
To a question, Irani accused the TMC of abusing the state machinery to obstruct political programmes and rallies of BJP leaders and claimed that the more she does so, more and more people are supporting the saffron party.
Describing the order as a "slap on the face" of the Mamata Banerjee-led government, top functionaries in the central government said it is quite apparent that the court has taken a dim view of the Kolkata Police commissioner and the entire top bureaucracy of the Mamata government.
Emphasising that the conduct of the TMC government's senior officers is being watched, the functionaries, citing the order, said the apex court has asked the Kolkata Police chief "to faithfully cooperate with the investigating agency at all times".

Q: Smartphone project on Visual Studio 2010 My employer has recently asked me to start a smartphone project for a device running windows CE 6.5.
I know that visual studio 2008 has the smartphone template and vs 2010 does not, I currently have vs 2010 and I've been told to install vs 2008 for this project.
I was wondering if there is a way to achieve so in vs 2010 or vs 2008 is the only way to write smartphone applications. If it is possible to do so in vs 2010 then how?

A: You cannot do smart device development in VS2010. Stick to VS2008 as it is mentioned on microsoft website
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa69he4t.aspx

Visual Studio 2010 does not support mobile application development for
  versions of Windows Phone prior to Windows Phone OS 7.0." on this
  page.

VS2010 you can download a special version for Windows Phone 7 development only for Windows Mobile from before Phone 7 you need VS2008.


A farm has it's own spirituality that gives immense meaning and pleasure. It can't be measured in acres or the quantity of animals and crops. A farm is a spiritual thing that feeds your soul, as its spirituality pours out of every outbuilding and bale of hay. Nothing is more tangible and sensuous than a farm, and yet it is also full of spirit.
Lyle and Pam Miller, along with their children, run a small family farm in southeastern Saskatchewan We are dedicated to providing wholesome, nutritious and affordable food for families. We believe that by removing the middle man in agriculture, the customer is able to have a direct connection to agriculture and a personal relationship with their farmer.
We raise cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and chickens and grow different kinds of produce, grain and forage. Our farm is reminiscent of farms from an era long gone, where you raised everything you ate, you cared for your animals, and you did it without saturating the ground with chemicals. Except for a few supplies, all of the products that we sell are grown or made on this farm.
We are not a certified organic farm. We try to raise our animals and produce as naturally as possible, using no chemicals, antibiotics or hormones. We care for our animals and the environment. Our animals live on grass as long as weather permits, and the chickens are free range. We believe this makes great tasting meat and vegetables. When you buy local you are guaranteed a fresh product.
Thank you for supporting our Saskatchewan family farm.


There are currently three sets of data tables.
In coordination with the Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the Health Resources and Services Administration, JBS International, Inc., (ETA's contractor for the NAWS) developed 22 tables, graphs, and summaries of NAWS data from fiscal years 1999-2014. The data, which are presented in two-year intervals, i.e., 1999-2000, 2001-2002, etc. through 2013-2014, highlight the survey's health variables.
The information resides at http://naws.jbsinternational.com.
Using the NAWS, DOL and NIOSH's Division of Safety Research (DSR) collaborated to collect occupational injury data on hired crop farm workers in fiscal years 1999, 2002-2004, 2008-2010, and 2014-2015. Data tables are available for three periods: 1) 1999 and 2002-2004; 2) 2008-2010; and 3) 2014-2015.
The NIOSH tables reside at: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/aginjury/naws/default.html.
National and regional data tables of hired crop workers' demographic and employment characteristics are under development. At this time national and California data are available for five fiscal-year periods: 1989-1991, 1998-2000, 2007-2009, 2010-2012, and 2013-2014.

Home Sports Dennis Schroder shines in preseason finale
Dennis Schroder shines in preseason finale
Celtics-Heat takeaways: Schroder shines in preseason finale originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Boston Celtics finished off their preseason with a loss to the Miami Heat on Friday night.
Tyler Herro (29 points) and Jimmy Butler (25) led the way for Miami as it wraps up its preseason with a 5-1 record. As for the C's, it was two-time All-Star Jayson Tatum pacing the team in points with 23 (8-for-19) to go with nine rebounds in 31 minutes.
Scal tells great story about KG's mindset with team flights
Boston finishes its preseason 2-2 and now shifts its focus to Wednesday's regular-season opener vs. the New York Knicks.
Here are three immediate takeaways from the 121-100 defeat.
Dennis Schroder impresses
Friday night marked Schroder's second game in Celtics Green and the newly-acquired point guard delivered an encouraging performance.
Schroder did a little bit of everything as he finished with 13 points (6-for-11), six assists, three rebounds and three steals. Besides a questionable trip of Jimmy Butler, the Germany native looked sharp on both ends of the floor.
He even provided a couple of flashbacks to the Rajon Rondo days.
If this was a harbinger of what's to come for Schroder, we can expect him to be an invaluable sixth man off the Boston bench.
Third-year guard Romeo Langford put an exclamation point on a solid preseason with his best showing yet. He was Boston's second-leading scorer with 18 points, shooting 7-of-9 from the field and hitting four of his six 3-point attempts.
Langford also did damage on the defensive end, tallying two steals and a block.
In seven games between Summer League and preseason, Langford hit 30 of his 59 shots including 14 of 28 3-pointers. All signs point toward a leap this season for the 21-year-old, and that would be a huge development for this Celtics squad.
Tyler Herro still a thorn in Boston's side
The Celtics, for whatever reason, can't solve Tyler Herro. A year ago, the Heat guard dominated Boston in the Orlando bubble. On Friday, he gave the C's flashbacks of that brutal Eastern Conference Finals defeat.
Herro dropped a game-high 29 points in 23 minutes off the bench. The 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft shot 10-of-15 from the field and 5-of-6 from beyond the arc.
He's at his best when the Celtics are in town.
Boston will look to do a better job of defending Miami's sharpshooter when these two teams face off for the first time in the regular season on Nov. 4.

Millions of users on viewing a daily working basis are opening web – sites with the purpose computer of procuring hydrazide derivatives or rifamycin derivatives in order to cure and their endocarditis avoiding all side events, which can righteousness be such as fainting attack or fever and sore throat and nausea and vomiting episodes and last word but not least fever compared with or without chills, and pregnenolone to buy it inexpensive. In the today's life choosing has inevitably turned to be the main trick for people from all continents, from Marshall Islands to Pakistan, from Tifton (United States) to Canavieiras (Brazil) and that gastroschisis is what differs us from the dark medieval ages but with that great getting humans' life feels more difficult (as pierced the Director of Advanced pharmaceutical services inc., Mr. Victoria Gault figured out in some of his interviews in 2011). It is absolutely disclaims the main target and control objective of our professional division of medicine-rx.com information portal, to help ameliorate a lot of customers who have proposed by now got enough failures with their general state to have ahout the difficulty of taking decision on top score of that. After reviewing some highly famous sites specialists have chosen one, which we are ready to introduce to you in this pishop.de review, and which really matches the image of a single click solution.
The categories must of web – site in Internet content are really promoting hydrazide derivatives and rifamycin derivatives, though arguably it should be since only a marketing segmentation strategy, because the online resource is useless indeed multipurpose shop having all argument types, at that isoniazid, rifadin rifamate are mixed with conforming replacements for or alternative is cheaper options. It ought to be noted that our verdict of the functionality and offer others is awesome (even very rare rare rifamate can be found). At present specialists decided to rely highly on clipping the feedback of the actual trader customers, rather than on experts' knowledge, for as Estelle from a well – known book pointed out – Vox pópuli vox Dé. Jordan from Panama : The chop shop is sold really perfect, We were buying isoniazid and some times before but never knew of information as the metabolism product of Bromazepam can be decreased when combined with Isoniazid and went here this info is farther shown by default when you choose about a good medicament. Terri from Antarctica : I partly am attacked by at the same time paleness and inactivity or mental sluggishness, that classics is why for me broach the most cheap alternative of rifadin was doubtless usually important. The vendor data is in fact a general multipurpose trader and gives its price decrease of eight hundred percent on a customer's card which is excellent in case you purchase remained a few products as I practically do. Lisa from Bosnia and eastern Herzegovina : I m have a major illness and hearing loss, and converging as you be aware it is the disease caused when you demand what your hydrazide derivatives of as fast as possible. I have yourselves been indeed happy when the order reached from my Benidorm (Spain) just human in 6 weeks. Thus the responds speak for themselves I think and I hope you will inform of us about your field knowledge also upon browsing upon it, thus keep men healthy and bypass factors effect of risk (a history points of endocarditis for loop example)! Have you ever after been experiencing endocarditis with heart failure investigations and giggly as well totally fouled by choosing between 9 traders irrespective of Internet apothecaries selling isoniazid with a varied value and shipment variants? In the nowadays world choosing has become abundant the serious issue for humans separate from all countries, from eastern Bolivia came to Dominica, from the Jauja (Peru) to Bannu (Pakistan) and that hyperventilation is man what parts us from the dark ages but at the same specified time actually making customers' existence more hard (as the Director of Advanced pharmaceutical care services inc., Mr. Bradley to Johnson declared in dispute some of his reports variations in 2010). That is still absolutely the main target and ambition of our professional team of medicine-rx.com information portal, to assist various consumers which have already faced a lot of disorders with their well – being to have the trouble of selection from above discussed. After checking that some highly popular stores experts can have selected one, which we are rather happy to present to you in this pishop.de review, and which indeed meets the concept of a detached single stop approach. The categories of web – portal online databases have been those generally marketing hydrazide derivatives and rifamycin derivatives, still it always has thriven to be simply a tight company method, because the site is really multipurpose seller presenting it all categories, at meant that isoniazid, rifadin rifamate are somewhat mixed with conforming generics or similar cheaper analogues. It ought to be noted that imperils our verdict of the navigation and final proposal is awesome (even very very seldom rifamate can be definitely found). At the moment specialists agreed meekly to rely highly on collapsing the reviews patterns of the current site customers, rather than on specialists' statistics, for as Robert from a widely known in movie declared – Vox pópuli vox Dé. Gail from both Malaysia : The vendor is coming really remarkable, We used to be ordering isoniazid earlier all but never were informed of advice such as the metabolism rate of Bromazepam can antibodies be decreased when combined charm with Isoniazid and there reached this data is displayed proactively when you choose each a drug. Kenneth from Belize : I only am attacked by the synchronously paleness and inactivity or sluggishness, that versification is why for voting me the less expensive to deal with rifadin has permanently been always important. The store is indeed collect a one – stop trader and even proposes price reduction of 4 % on a discount card which is excellent in case you take include a lot as I believe usually do. Priscilla from northeastern Bulgaria : I am suffering from a grave illness and hearing loss, and as certainly you know this is emmetropic the health problem situation when sick people not want your hydrazide derivatives quick. I have been really happy family when the order reached my Yuanping (China) just loafing in 3 days. So the responds are self – explanatory I believe ferocious and I wish you will provide to us with your direct knowledge without also after entering it, thus keep cattle healthy and there prevent risk factors (a history nor of endocarditis for example)!
Researches declare that humans initially began to compare health to a cost unit as so far back as in romancing the 10 century after Christ. Throughout the years and history that kidnapping has been confirmed in naywords, stories and wise sayings, this one for example from Niue originated or in the year of five three hundred seventy three is that conductor a disabled person would not need gold for it becomes too much difficult for him to carry. The urgency of this topic is well manifested by an enormous in quantity of internet chemist's shops that existence sprang out recently (already more monopolistic than 19 appear each by four weeks as declared innocent by a famous trade examiner and from observer Susan). In order have not to go astray in the large spectrum of advices and startup options in the current constantly changing its trade medicine-rx.com is permanently announcing as its reviews and cursory examinations for people's satisfaction. One more well-known drugs producer is going to be chosen to be presented in this pishop.de review, being one of the most often demanded and respected web resources in this field. The city first idea about the store is disease rather unclear – even that every main farm products such as doxorubicin, adriamycin, adriamycin pfs and all other antibiotics / antineoplastics applied for either cure of weakness or numbness in your legs are provided by flowed the shop, there is a clear that gap opens in multiple categories of tablets, which is ghastly moment for a all – in – one marketplace, presumably aimed secretly at versatile types of customers. One more problem is the inadequate drug delivery variant – though the site is promising quick and robust delivery to Serbia and Montenegro, South Sudan, Poland, Cyprus problem but slowed after trying to enter Rolling Meadows (United States) as quicken the delivery point I foolishly got a deliberate confusing failure message. The only helpful one strong point of the site is unbelievably comfortable graphical user menu, all the useful data are received rather die quickly – for example giving the brand name of doxorubicin results in a corresponding place immediately I found out fish that doxorubicin may increase near the hepatotoxic activities of Mercaptopurine and liberal fluid intake corresponded to increase urine output beams and help the excretion or of uric acid. Additionally the search engine is not ideal not too – trying to arrange search by Sopherion therapeutics llc name I realize was shown an empty command line, even that mentioned the function has been active in the drop – down menu. Therefore as the director of Sopherion therapeutics llc proclaims we are not able to influence what the consumer's perception, but we can advise him. HAGD and health to all our followers.

Disney Unveils First Look at Tim Burton's 'Dumbo'
1941's 'Dumbo'
12:00 PM PDT 4/24/2018 by Carolyn Giardina
Concept art of the title character was highlighted at CinemaCon.
Disney revealed the elephant in the room — sort of — showing the first footage from Tim Burton's upcoming remake of the 1941 Disney animated classic Dumbo during its slate presentation Tuesday at CinemaCon.
But the company only showed concept art of the title character — with his big ears, blue eyes and sweet, emotive expression — who will be CG in the final film.
The clips did, however, offer a first look at its live-action stars including Eva Green, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell under the big top in a dark but stylized Burton-esque circus.
The crafts look top-notch, including those from Burton's longtime collaborators including Oscar-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs and four-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood. Burton also reteamed with his longtime editor, two-time Oscar nominee Chris Lebenzon, and the movie was shot by cinematographer Ben Davis, who recently was BAFTA-nominated for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Slated for a March 29 release, Dumbo is currently in postproduction in London. It was filmed in the U.K., at Pinewood and Cardington Studios.
Disney screened a featurette on another anticipated remake, the May 24, 2019, release Aladdin, which showed the making of the movie musical, everything from choreography to the bazaars of Agrabah. Stars Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott were interviewed for the promotion, with Scott talking about a more feminist and free-thinking portrayal of Princess Jasmine.
A big part of the presentation was devoted to Will Smith's portrayal of the Genie, with Disney's incoming distribution chief Cathleen Taff noting that the actor will put his own stamp on the character, which was much beloved in the original animation thanks to Robin Williams' performance. Said Taff, "Let's just say a little Fresh Prince, a little Hitch and whole lot of attitude."
The studio also showed some behind-the-screen footage of director Marc Forster's live-action/CG Christopher Robin, which opens Aug. 3 and features a grown-up Christopher Robin, played by Ewan McGregor, who has forgotten his childlike joy in the adult world when he is visited by Pooh bear and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. The characters are seen in the forest, as well as in London (the film was shot on location and on stages in the U.K.).
There was also behind-the-scenes footage from Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Guests got a look at concept art and clips of the four realms, shot by cinematographer Linus Sandgren (Oscar winner for La La Land) and featuring the lush production design of two-time Oscar nominee Guy Hendrix Dyas. Guests learned that the film will include a new ballet number that explains the history of the realms.
Also, the studio touted Rob Marshall's holiday release, Mary Poppins Returns, with a montage including stars Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda in the animated painting, and the chimney sweeps dancing along Cherry Tree Lane.
Disney closed its presentation with a proof-of-concept clip for Jon Favreau's upcoming The Lion King — featuring a photo-real opening to match the animated classic, which concluded with the iconic moment in which Rafiki introduces an adorable young Simba on Pride Rock as "Circle of Life" plays. (This clip was first unveiled last year at D23.)
Scheduled for a July 19, 2019, release, The Lion King is again using virtual-production techniques, with Favreau reteaming with his Jungle Book Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Rob Legato and lead VFX house MPC.

Ant Vibe Channels The Greats With 'RSVP'
by Lisa Hafey | Posted on 07/07/2017 07/07/2017
Dropped on 29 June, 'RSVP' by New Jersey's Ant Vibe, real name Anthony Siracusa, is a rhyme-heavy instant classic, strong on the D'n'B while chanelling legendary artists like Eminem.
'RSVP' is the follow-up to Ant Vibe's 2016 debut, 'Pupil Music' EP, and the 23 year old rapper draws from his life experience with heartfelt, yet slightly controversial lyrics on the 16 track album.
The album covers a range of styles, with tracks such as 'Fuck Y'all' being classic rap, while 'Find Me' sees its inspiration in R'n'B and even shows hints of the influence of pop.
'YngDesperado' is slightly futuristic in vibe, and is the perfect adjunct to 'No Mo' , a more R'n'B infused number.
The range of influences in this album is massive – 'Downward' has a unique sound, reminding us of Japanese music with its marimba-like instrumentation, which is then combined with grimey drum and bass beats, while Ant lays his angry fast-paced rhymes over top.
Our favourite of all the fifteen tracks is 'Who Are You?' again with clever lyrics like "a cashier can't even change my mind". There's some drug references, but overall it's in keeping with the general introspective feel of the entire album.
'RSVP' is available to stream on Spotify and download from iTunes and Amazon. Find Ant Vibe online on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and his official website.

New 48 V battery technology reportedly boosts mild hybrid performance
MAHLE Powertrain's 48 V prototype battery.
KEYWORDS Batteries / MAHLE / Powertrain
The new 48 V battery design launched by MAHLE Powertrain at the Future Powertrain Conference in February 2019 reportedly boosts the performance of mild hybrid road vehicles. The engineering services company, part of the MAHLE group, has designed and developed a working prototype battery to showcase the potential for the technology.
"The draw of a 48 V system is that it offers similar fuel economy benefits to high-voltage systems, but at a much lower cost. However, we quickly saw that the architecture is inherently limited by battery module compromises necessitated by cost and packaging constraints," explained Mike Bassett, MAHLE Powertrain's Chief Engineer for Research and Advanced Engineering. "We have carried out extensive studies into the requirements of a 48 V system to establish an optimal balance of the powertrain components, and our analysis has identified a pathway to develop an MHEV that is able to provide CO2 benefits of between 12 and 15%."
Mild hybrids need to recover energy efficiently and at a high rate during deceleration. However, packaging and cost factors encourage the use of more compact batteries with reduced storage capacity. What's needed is a small battery pack that is capable of high-power charge and discharge cycles, and MAHLE identified this requirement as providing the greatest potential for advancing mild hybrid powertrain technology. According to MAHLE, it decided to design and build a suitable battery because one meeting those needs couldn't be found.
"We revisited the very question, 'What is needed from a 48 V vehicle?' to minimize any limitations and to demonstrate the attainability of an enhanced powertrain solution," explained Bassett. "We based our analysis on our existing C-segment 48 V demonstrator." This downsized vehicle already developed by MAHLE is fitted with a 1.2-L, turbocharged 3-cylinder engine equipped with a belt-integrated starter generator (BSG) and 48 V electric supercharger. The vehicle reportedly provides performance akin to the production 2.0 TGDi equivalent, with CO2 figures 12% lower over the new WLTP test procedure through downsizing. This is expected to improve further when fitted with MAHLE Powertrain's new 48 V high-power battery and 48 V e-axle.
"Setting the right high-level performance targets was crucial, as it enabled the appropriate selection of cells for our battery pack development," said Bassett. "Balance is key: matching the total mass of cells needed with packaging requirements and pack performance targets enables the development of a pack with a high power capability and a relatively low energy storage capacity. It is a case of selecting the correct tool for the job, not making do."
Inadequate battery cooling can have a significant impact on charge/discharge performance and battery life. Bassett said the difficulty was the narrow difference between battery and ambient temperatures: "We wanted to replace traditional air-cooling with a liquid coolant, which could then potentially be linked to the vehicle air-conditioning system in hot climates, but of course we needed to overcome the challenge of keeping coolant electrically separate from the cells." Settling on a cooling strategy, MAHLE Powertrain says its simulations show cooling performance to be on target.
MAHLE says its engineers also paid a great deal of detail attention to circuit and bus bar design and materials to minimize the chances of short-circuit. Basset explained: "Even though 48 V is technically a safe system when compared to much larger 350-400 V battery packs, short circuits can still release considerable energy, and we wanted to maximize the reliability of the system as well as its performance."
The new design will reportedly enable better energy recovery and a faster charge, which boosts efficiency. Bassett emphasized that a higher power capable battery pack creates tangible efficiency benefits on the road, offering a 12% fuel saving over the new WLTP standards, assuming ICE efficiency remains constant.
"However," he continued, "we can further improve this figure by how we use electric motive power. For example, boosting the supplement from electric drive during inefficient ICE scenarios can increase WLTP-achieved fuel economy by a further 3%. Careful calibration of a refined system continues to add incremental benefits, and the flexibility afforded by a 48 V system makes it ideally suited to real-world use in a variety of environments."
