College Missions Company Expands Mission Field to Alaska!
Jesus is so so good!
Yesterday, College Missions Company officially expanded its mission field to preach the Gospel and to be the hands and feet of Christ to our brothers and sisters in Alaska!
The effort to preach the Gospel in Alaska became a reality when College Missions Company was asked to merge with fellow Louisiana college students who recently were serving during the summer in Alaska. We at CMC are thrilled, overjoyed, and anxious to see what the Lord has in store for this upcoming year! It's not about the company's status of expanding its mission field we are overjoyed about, it's the reality that we are working with such humble followers of Christ who desire that others may know that they are simply loved by an all loving and merciful God.
Thank you so much for your continual support and prayers, please read following article below by Kaitlin Davis, the leader of the Alaskan Missions for College Missions Company:
United in Mission Zeal
In the summer of 2014, I went on my first mission trip to the native Alaskan village of St. Michael. The mission trip was put on by FOCUS, and I had learned about the trip from FOCUS missionaries on campus at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I had never thought about going on a mission trip before, and the missionaries encouraged me to look into them. The mission to Alaska intrigued me from the start, and ended up being the best fit for me at the time.
St. Michael is a village of about 350 people, many of whom are baptized Catholics and Christians. Their parish, like many parishes in their region of Alaska, is very isolated, and lacks weekly Mass and frequent catechesis for children and adults alike. There is also a lot of strife in the community, such as domestic abuse, alcoholism, drugs, and broken families. Some of this is due to poverty and lack of purpose. Some of it is due to wounds left behind by clergy abuse in the 1960s and 1970s that scoured the village. I spoke to several adults in the village who had been wounded in some way by the abuse, and they were still struggling with those wounds.
However, they did not blame Jesus or the Church for what had happened. In fact, they still thirsted to know the Lord and to have the Church as a part of their family and community. Despite coming face to face with despair, they still had hope that the future of Christianity in their village would be one of growth, peace, and healing. Especially for their children and grandchildren.
It was this hope that ignited the desire in my heart to return to St. Michael, in order to continue inviting the villagers into a relationship with Jesus, teach the children about our Lord and the Church, and to encourage Christians in the community to place Jesus more firmly in the center of their village's life. In the summer of 2016, I returned to the village with college students from UL-Lafayette, LSU, and LSUE. We stayed twice as long as the first time I had gone, and I know that we made twice the impact, due to the relationships we were able to build with children, adults, and elders in the community. The mere presence of authentic Christianity in the village is half the mission. Immediately after returning back to Louisiana this past summer, I knew that I had to begin planning another trip, where we stayed longer and brought more missionaries, so that we could serve these villagers as much as possible.
I had heard about Janson Delaney and Hunter Mansour's mission trip to New Mexico later that summer, and saw that it was much like the St. Michael mission in that it had started as a simple desire for mission and was rather impromptu in its inception. It was a testimony to the authenticity of their call to and desire for mission. When College Missions Company was created, I saw that it was a way to make answering the call to go on mission easier for young people, and that it was a way to broaden domestic missions.
At the beginning of the school year, Janson, Hunter, and I began talking about the reality of merging our missions together. In this way, we could pool our resources together and also by way of our testimonies, encourage college students to go on mission. Now, four other missionaries returning to Alaska, plus myself, are working as a part of College Missions Company to create opportunities for college students to go on mission and to expand the missions we are currently invested in.
We know that it is a part of our baptismal promises to be missionaries for Jesus, at home and abroad. We know that it is apart of our baptismal promises to strive for holiness. For young people, one of the greatest obstacles to becoming a disciple of Jesus is doubting that we are capable of living an authentic Christian life. In the mission field, though, that life can become a reality when we encounter people thirsting for Jesus, and in turn we learn to be Christ to others.
Alaska has been called the Last Frontier by explorers and voyagers in the past. However, while I was there this past summer, it occurred to me that the final frontier to conquer is really our souls, and that they must be conquered for Jesus Christ. When we are missionaries, we are not only setting out to bring souls to Jesus, but we find ourselves being conquered by His love, and we come to understand that we can truly do anything when we belong to Him.

Z-Machine je v současné době (2012) největší zařízení typu Z-pinch a zároveň největší generátor rentgenového záření na světě a je navržen k testování materiálů za podmínek extrémně vysokého tlaku a teploty. Z-Machine se nachází v laboratořích Sandia v Albuquerque ve státě Nové Mexiko. Od jeho modernizace v roce 1996 je používán hlavně jako experimentální zařízení pro pokusy s termonukleární fúzí technikou inerciálního udržení. Data, která jsou pomocí něho získávána, jsou pak využívána v počítačovém modelování jaderných zbraní a případných pulzních fúzních elektráren.

Práce stroje
Stroj využívá jevu zvaného Z-pinch. Jeho klíčovou součástí jsou ohromné kondenzátory, které jsou postaveny do kruhu (aby impulz dorazil ze všech ve stejnou chvíli) a všechny se vybíjejí do Marxových generátorů. Těchto generátorů je celkem 36 a jde o speciální silnoproudé obvody, které vytvoří velmi silný vysokonapěťový impuls přibližně 18 miliónů ampérů po dobu 100 nanosekund, který je pak veden několikacentimetrovou trubicí složenou z několika desítek tenkých rovnoběžných drátů z wolframu. Lorentzovy síly vyvolané impulzem pak způsobí kolaps roztavené wolframové trubice do jednolitého svazku plazmatu, přičemž se uvnitř na okamžik vytvoří prostředí o ohromném tlaku a teplotě. Původně byl uvnitř trubice polystyren, který měl pomoci homogenizovat rentgenové záření. Po jeho odstranění Z-Machine dosahoval v trubici tlaku 90 Mbar při impulzu o síle 10 miliónů ampérů.

Pokud je do válce umístěna kapsle s palivem, ohromný tlak při kolapsu válce je schopen vyvolat jadernou fúzi a uvolněnou energii je možno sbírat za účelem získání tepla pro produkci využitelné elektrické energie. Tak může zařízení tohoto typu fungovat jako elektrárna.

Vzhledem k extrémně vysokému napětí při vybití přístroje jsou napájecí zařízení ponořena v soustředných komorách s 2000 m3 transformátorového oleje a 2300 m3 deionizované vody, které fungují jako elektrické izolátory. Přesto je však elektromagnetický impuls při vybití celého přístroje tak silný, že způsobí blesky šlehající ze všech kovových předmětů v místnosti.

2 miliardy stupňů
V roce 2006 se podařilo pomocí Z-Machine vyrobit plazma, které přesáhlo teplotu 2 miliard K. To je více než jádro Slunce, které má teplotu "pouhých" 15 milionů K. Toho bylo dosaženo nahrazením wolframových drátů tenčími dráty z nerezové oceli. Při těchto teplotách přechází do rentgenových paprsků celých 10 až 15 % elektrického výkonu. Z-Machine byl také zapsán do Guinnessovy knihy rekordů za nejvyšší člověkem dosaženou teplotu. V této kategorii už ho překonal pouze LHC. Stále není vysvětleno, co přesně vyvolalo tak velké množství tepelné energie, ale existuje teorie, že by miniaturní magnetohydrodynamické turbulence v kombinaci s viskózním tlumením způsobily přeměnu energie magnetického pole na tepelnou energii iontů, které by svou energii předaly elektronům prostřednictvím vzájemných kolizí.

Výzkum jaderné fúze a budoucnost
Na poli výzkumu jaderné fúze patří Z-Machine mezi nejdůležitější zařízení (dalšími jsou například NIF nebo ITER). Projekt Sandijských laboratoří Z-IFE je hlavním výzkumným projektem v tomto oboru a v současnosti (2012) největší překážkou ve spoutání jaderné fúze touto metodou je přijít na způsob, jak přístroj rychle nabíjet. Aby totiž produkce fúzní energie přesáhla výdaje, je třeba dělat pulzy rychle za sebou. Je vypočítáno, že při jednom pulzu každých 10 sekund by bylo možno ekonomicky získat stabilně 300 MW elektrárenského výkonu.

Z-Machine bude modernizován a Marxovy generátory nahrazeny novější technologií ruské výroby - lineárním transformátorovým systémem (LTD - Linear Transformer Drive) a po 8 až 10leté přestavbě bude Z-Machine schopen zažehávat pulzy každých 100 sekund.

Je plánován další krok na poli fúzní energie. Bude postavena pokusná Z-IFE fúzní elektrárna založená na LTD konstrukci pracující na principu Z-pinch. Mohla by dosahovat výkonu až 1 petawatt (1015 W, což je půl-milion krát výkonnější než Temelín) při impulzech o proudu 70 miliónů ampérů a napětí 24 miliónů voltů. Jeho LTD okruh bude mít průměr 104 m. V roce 2013 budou simulace ověřeny experimentem s maximálními pulzy, kterých je Z-Machine schopen - 26 miliónů ampér. Pokud vše dopadne, jak má, bude to znamenat průlom ve výzkumu fúzní energie.

I am totally disillusioned with the political parties I usually vote for and indeed all the others, it seems to me that year by year they are all mouth and no trousers, full of fine words and presentations but do absolutely nothing and look at the resulting dreadful state this country is in now.
Time and again we've thought about moving abroad but it seems like such a cop out.
I had a look at the Green Party manifesto today and was really impressed by what I saw, it is everything we personally believe in - also they are actively promoting veganism (see "Food" in the manifesto). I think I will join the party.
I did the same this year, Hemlock after feeling a bit let-down in some ways by our Tony :( . I was a member of the Labour Party Young Socialists when I was a teenager and have been a loyal Labour voter ever since I was old enough :rolleyes: .
I spent about six months as a member of the Militant Tendency in Bradford when I was younger (major socialist), but I got fed up with Marxism got twisted into communism along the way and got sick of being called Comrade all the time.
I am an armchair supporter of Green Party.
my husband and i are Green Party supporters - we find ourselves agreeing with almost all they say on just about everything. I think that Caroline Lucas is absolutely excellent. Last general election we put up the money for someone to stand - but I have to say we did'nt get anywhere - but i just hope that the compaign did something to raise the profile of the issues! However in our area (Rossendale) the BNP is the biggest of the small parties and they take a lot of the vote from those that don't like the big three. Our political system is so skewed against small parties - its so difficult to get publicity and quite often the small parties are not invited to debates with the canidiates for the big three (the excuse is usually given that it just gives a chance for the BNP to give their views - so what - they've every right to). Anyhow it was great going to the count even though we did'nt get anywere!
My vote is worthless in my borough. I do vote, but it's such a pointless and demeaning exercise here that I'm not sure I'll bother in future.
I was very annoyed to find that in the last local election the candidates were almost all Conservative with a couple of Liberal Democrats and one Independent candidate. I wish there had been a Green Party candidate - they would certainly get my vote! Sadly though they are unlikely to ever get into Government, as someone has already said.
As has been pointed out, in the UK the voting system unfortunately means that if you vote Green you get Blue or worse..
The recent Green rise in the local vote here in Brighton has served only to hand the council to the Tories, in effect.
Until we have proportional representation of some sort then voting Green will really only be a protest option. Whether it puts any pressure on the main 2 parties to be genuinely "greener" remains to be seen..
It seems to me that The Green Party suffer from not having a defined role as a political party nationally and do not present a credible alternative government, and so will not be getting my cynical hack vote.
Precisely! :) - we're the leaders in the political field up here ;) .
Honestly, if everyone just sits about saying that the Greens can't get anywhere and don't/won't get enough support then, sure enough, yes, we'll end up with the status quo. To me that's similar to saying that there's no point going vegan because 99% of other people don't/won't :rolleyes: .
Quite! :D . Alex is my local M.P! :cool: .
In fact just saw this for what labour are up to now!
Alex Salmond said if he won a seat in the Scottish parliament he would not take two sets of wages and he would give up the Scottish Parliament one.
Holyrood officials tell him the rules say he has to take them both. So he sets up a charity to give the wages to local youth projects instead.
All good, no problems, he only takes one wage and some youth groups benefit as well.
"The tax paying public are right to feel angry, let down and double crossed by Alex Salmond's empty words.
"Salmond promised he would only claim one parliamentary salary and he hasn't. Instead his spin doctors have been desperately scrabbling around for a quick fix. "
I'm green party too, although I never get around to voting.
I know it's unlikely the Green Party will ever get in but.......I'd rather not vote at all than vote for the main parties and not voting is not an option for me!
I agree with everything on their manifesto which you can't say about most.
It's even more unlikely the Green Party will get a foothold in the US, but I still vote for them. I try to convince fellow queers to vote for them too, as they are much more pro-gay than the Democrats. If everyone doesn't vote for them because they think the Greens will lose, then of course they will lose. Be the change!
Whenever there's a Green candidate standing I vote for them (I've read their manifesto and agree with the vast majority of it), but it's rare that a green stands where I live, and I don't bother voting for any other party now. I used to vote Lib Dem to try to keep the Tories out but I now write on my ballot paper, 'none of the above', because I want to vote, but there's no one decent to vote for.
I'm very sceptical of politicians in general and sometimes wonder if, by some miracle, the Greens became the government, how long would it be before sleeze and corruption infected them.
I am part of the green party too. I voted in the last small elections here. Where there were no green candidates I voted for democrat (although I am wondering how great they are). If all us potential green party voters do vote and dont get depressed by the masses we can have a good effect.
My view on voting is that to an extent it's essential to go for the lesser of evils, as few parties are going to represent your views 100% of the time (although I most admit the Green Party comes very close for me, as I imagine it does for many members of this board). I vote Liberal Democrat nationally as I sympathise with their ways of thinking, even if I frequently do not agree 100% on policy. However, at local and European elections I will continue to vote Green, as they do have what I consider a reasonable chance of attaining office at this level.
If I move to a constituency where the Greens have a strong showing of support I will vote for them there at a national level.
I vote green. Even though I live in a completely republican state where even a democrat would have a hard time winning any elections.
I figure if my vote is just going to be worthless anyway, I should use it however the heck I want.


Counselling is where you meet with another person, your counsellor, on a one-to-one basis. He or she will help you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, so that you can make choices about what you can do to bring about changes in your life.
Counsellors do not give advice. We believe that only you know what is right for you and our job is to help you to come to a clearer understanding of what you need and how you might go about getting it, without putting any pressure on you in any way.
Yes, it is confidential. No one outside of ARC is given information about you unless you wish it. This applies even when someone else suggests you come to ARC such as your parents, doctor, social worker etc. You will be given the opportunity to talk about confidentiality or ask any questions at the beginning of your first session.
Although we have a responsibility towards young people, no one is turned away. In fact, the average age of our clients is 30.
Our counsellors focus on you and how you feel about what is happening in your life. Whatever the problem is they will not be shocked by anything you tell them. They will listen and empower you to decide how you want to move forward.
What if someone else needs help?
We cannot make anyone have counselling. However, we may be able to help you to look at how another person's actions or behaviour leaves you feeling. We can support you in finding the best way for you to cope with whatever challenges you face in your life.
How else can counselling help me?
Sharing your fears, anxieties and concerns with someone else or exploring your feelings and thoughts, can help you to make sense of what is going on in your life. Having a better understanding of your life, yourself and your situation, can help you to identify what you need to do. Once you know what you need to do, you then have the freedom to make a choice about your future – you take back control of your own life.
Previous clients have found counselling to be enormously helpful in making them feel happier, freer, more balanced and more in control of their lives. Sometimes it can help you to make the changes you know you need to make, but don't know how to make them or are too afraid to make alone.
If you're unsure, why not give it a few sessions? If you decide that it's not for you, you're free to walk away.

US Ambassador Joseph Cella & Nauru High Commissioner Michael Aroi at the IAA Signing. Picture: SUPPLIED
A new agreement which is anticipated to provide access to the full range of investment support offered by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) was signed today by the US Ambassador Joseph Cella and Nauru High Commissioner Michael Aroi.
According to Mr Cella the trade between Nauru and the United States grew to US$5 million in 2019 and hit US$3.5 million at the end of the third quarter this year.
"In 2015 two-way trade totaled just $2.2 million," Mr Cella said.
"It was my honor to sign the Nauru-United States Investment Incentive Agreement to build an economic bridge between our nations," he said.

I love spending time in Supermarket around Christmas and New year eve. I do not know if it is the same for you in your home country, but in Switzerland they fill shelfs with full of products that are usually difficult to find. I saw these quail legs and immediately thought about my birthday dinner. I wanted to make a large seafood platter with oysters. I am in love with oysters.
There are so tasty. However Adrien is not a big fan. So I thought I could make something quick apart from seafood. This was the perfect plan we really like quails too and quail legs are the best part. This honey and rosemary glaze is easy and fast to make. I used some fresh rosemary that I got on my balcony. Despite of the weather, I hope that my aromatic herbs will stay alive and pass winter.
The result was delicious and I regret to not have made more. But my stomach was full with oysters and foie gras already. So I could not have eaten an extra skewer. I would advice you to serve these quail leg skewers with mashed potatoes. Enjoy.
Pour white wine in a medium sauce pan. Leave to cook until quantity reduced by half.
Add honey and leave to cook few minutes until you see huge bubbles. Take few drops and drip on a clean plate. If the glaze immediately solidify, remove from heat and reserve.
Stick 4 quail legs on each skewer. Cover with glaze and bake for 20 minutes. Turn half way through cooking time and moisten regularly with gravy.
Thank you very much for reading. Register to the newsletter and follow me on social media to receive the latest recipes of a French girl "cuisine".
The rosemary honey glaze sounds wonderful. We don't get quail round here unfortunately so I'll have to use chicken or duck.
Thank you very much Virginia. Oh, it's too bad. Love quails.


A staycation is wonderful way to take a break from the every day. Over the long weekend, we were invite to experience the new JW Marriott hotel at Parq, located in downtown, Vancouver. This luxury hotel is situated on the Parq Property and features a casino, restaurants and hotel amenities. We only live a few blocks away, so it was the perfect place to enjoyed a quick getaway, without the hassle of travel.
This luxury hotel was a pleasure to stay in. The moment we stepped into a lobby, we were greeted by the concierge and checked in with ease. I was excited when we walked into our suite and saw all the natural light and beautiful details. Most hotels are dark, and hard to photograph but this airy space with marble and light coloured features is a bloggers dream!
After settling in, we made our way down to The Victor for dinner, located on the 6th floor of the property. We've dined here a few times and it's become one of my favourite restaurant in the city. The design concept is inspired from the reign of Queen Victoria. My favourite part are the banquets, in beautiful kelly green leather, reminiscent of the seats in London's chamber in the House of Commons.
Along with craft cocktails and an extensive wine list, the menu features an array of Pacific Northwest seafood and a selection of specialty steaks. They also have excellent vegetarian options. My favourite is the mac & cheese waffles and the cauliflower steak. Even if you're not staying at the Parq property, the Victor should be on your Vancouver dining list.
The cozy king size bed was hard to leave in the morning, but I popped out first thing to grab coffee and croissants. We were happy to take advantage of the late check out and enjoy a lazy morning in the suite overlooking False Creek. There is a fantastic spot for brunch in the hotel lobby called Honey Salt, but on this occasion a relaxed morning in bed with lattes, magazines and easter eggs was perfect. After departing the hotel, we walked through David Lam Park in Yaletown where all the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Vancouver is a beautiful city, but Spring time is particularly pretty. It was fun to have a little escape for the every day, and enjoy being tourists in our own town. A good reminder of how lucky we are to call this place home.
Aw, you look so pretty in all these photos and LOVE what you wore. Any outfit with a motto jacket is stealing my heart these days… have been wearing mine non-stop! And yay, to staycations – they're the best + the Marriott looks like such a fantastic spot for that.
I seriously love staycations. All the relaxation without the stress. Looks fabulous!
Ahh Vancouver is so beautiful this time of year.
I LOVE staycations! That looks like soooo much fun!!
I love staycations and this one sounds so nice! That hotel is amazing!
Thanks Rach! The hotel is soo gorgeous.
Love staycations! Beautiful photos, this hotel sounds amazing!
Staycations are the best and you look so lovely!
Thank you Vanessa! We had such a wonderful getaway.
Thanks Gabrielle! Ahh yes Breakfast in Bed while on vacation is the best.
The JW Marriott Vancouver is such a beautiful hotel – perfect place to relax. Hope you're having a lovely week!
Thanks Hillory! It's such a beautiful hotel, in one of the best parts of the city.

NBA awards predictions: Warriors that could contend for honors in 2020-21
It has been a few years since a member of the Warriors has won a major NBA award, due to a combination of several factors: the team's nonchalant play in the regular season at the end of their dynasty, the health of their stars, the overall Warriors fatigue within the national media and, of course, a last-place record last season.
But could the Warriors return to the podium this season?
Here are the Warriors that could be candidates for the major awards this year, and who I believe ultimately will win them.

Chełmsko Śląskie – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Chełmsko Śląskie z siedzibą GRN w Chełmsku Śląskim utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie kamiennogórskim w woj. wrocławskim, na mocy uchwały nr 16/54 WRN we Wrocławiu z dnia 2 października 1954. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Chełmsko Śląskie, Błażejów i Olszyny ze zniesionej gminy Chełmsko Śl. w tymże powiecie. Dla gromady ustalono 22 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

1 stycznia 1957 gromadę Chełmsko Śląskie zniesiono w związku z nadaniem jej statusu osiedla.

Are Your Valuable Possessions Insured?
If you have a home, condominium, or tenant insurance policy, the policy will cover your personal contents that belong to you in the home, condominium, or apartment if there is a loss up to a certain amount. This coverage is called personal property, and it is required on all owner-occupied homeowners, condominium, or tenant policies. Personal property coverage is also referred to as "Coverage C" on the policies, and it will cover things like your furniture, kitchen tools, clothes, and other decorations. A good rule of thumb is: anything that is carried in after you move in will be covered in personal property.
However, there are limits on what personal property will cover and this depends on the policy and the company issuing the policy. For more valuable items such as jewelry, guns, furs, hearing aids, fine art, musical equipment, and photographic equipment, to insure these independently at replacement cost they might need to be scheduled on your policy. Scheduling items on your insurance policy means insuring the item by itself if something were to happen to it. For example: if you have a nice watch that's worth about $5,000.00 you would schedule this so that if it is lost or stolen, the watch itself will be covered with its own deductible that is separate from your home deductible. It is very common to insure scheduled items with a $0 deductible; thus, you would not be out of pocket any if it were lost or stolen.
In some instances, an appraisal is needed for the item that is being scheduled, and this is primarily decided by the amount the item is insured for. You can get appraisals at purchase or visit your local specialty store to get the appraisal for the item.
Protecting your most valuable personal items is important. Imagine going through airport security and leaving your watch at the security checkpoint, boarding the plane, and realizing you have left it. If your watch is scheduled on your insurance policy, its covered at full replacement cost. Talk to your local independent insurance agent to learn more about what items can be scheduled and how each insurance company handles the specifics of scheduling an item.

A microbe rewinds time
In December 2019, a cluster of patients with 'pneumonia of unknown cause' was linked to wet markets in Wuhan, China. Scientists zeroed in on a virus from the Coronavirus family, and named it 2019-nCov (n for novel), now called SARS-CoV-2, the seventh member of the family, others being MERS-CoV,SARS-CoV, and others. The disease syndrome ranged from flulike symptoms of fever, sore throat, cough and running nose, from which a majority recovered. But many patients worsened to develop pneumonia and breathing difficulty. They required ventilator therapy, despite which they worsened and succumbed to multi-organ failure. Soon, this strange disease in its worst form spilled over from Wuhan into mainland China, causing sickness and death, especially to those 60 years and above, and those with co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension, chronic lung and renal diseases, and the immuno-compromised. China witnessed death and sickness of humongous proportions. 82,295 took ill, and 3,342 succumbed. Soon, the virus crossed borders, most noticeably to Italy, supposedly carried by Chinese silk traders visiting Italy.1,62,488 were infected and 21,607 succumbed in that nation. The virus proceeded to wreak havoc in other European nations, leaving a trail of infection and death. The virus then proceeded to cross the Atlantic into the USA, which is currently the world's hotspot, with 6,14,180 infected and taking lives of 26,061, and counting. The WHO, which named the infection COVID-19 declared it 'Public Health Emergency of International Concern' on January 30 2020.
India wasn't spared of the viral stranglehold. At the time of writing, 14,792 Indians have been infected, and 488 dead. India with her burgeoning population of 135.26 crores was a sitting duck to the virus. She needed to act fast and decisively to prevent death and illness of global magnitude. By the time the virus crossed Indian borders, scientists had deciphered its mode of spread.
Two principal modes of transmission were identified:
Aerosol spread through body fluid from the upper respiratory tract ejected forcefully when an infected person coughs, sneezes or blows the nose to infect another within one meter of that person. This necessitated the following preventive measures to limit human-to-human spread of the virus
Social distancing- whereby people are supposed to maintain a minimum distance of at least one meter between each other. People were advised to avoid crowded places, and contribute to crowding.
Respiratory etiquette- whereby people were advised to cough, sneeze or blow noses into handkerchiefs.
Public spitting and nose blowing, rampant in India were banned. bus passengers and crew spitting chewed pan and betel leaves on to the street below on passersby, who ultimately look straight out of Holi celebration is common sight in the country.
Spread through fomites. The virus was found to survive on various surfaces viz; plastic, glass, cardboard for variable periods of time, ranging from minutes to hours. This necessitated the following measures to limit human-human infection by the virus
Avoidance of touching one's face, should the virus be carried to various portals of infection like the eyes, nose, and mouth
Frequent washing of hands with soap and water, or application of alcohol-based sanitizers on the hands.
With India staring at the stark reality of COVID-19 lacking an effective and definite treatment and effective vaccine, the only option for the country was to stringently and religiously follow measures that limited human-to-human transmission of the virus.
Certain precautions were also necessitated by the incubation period (time interval between infection and appearance of symptoms), which for COVID-19, is 1-14 days, which means a person who harbors the virus, even if asymptomatic can infect up to 3 persons up to 14 days after contracting the virus.
This required (1) a person who has been tested positive for the Coronavirus, (2) a person who has travelled to a geographical region where the infection is rampant, and (3) a person who had interacted closely with the above two be quarantined for a minimum period of 14 days, at which time, should such persons become symptomatic, can be treated.
To sum things up, people needed to religiously observe social distancing, meticulous hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and had to be quarantined to prevent transmission of the virus, observance of which could only be achieved if life slowed down, or even ceased to move.
It is for this reason that the Prime Minister Modi declared an unprecedented 21-day national lockdown on March 24 2020, exhorting people to stay wherever they were, and to draw a 'Lakshman Rekha' outside their homes, to remain homebound, except in emergencies. All modes of transport were suspended to prevent movement of infected people. Avenues for crowding viz; malls, movie theatres and places of worship were closed. Social events like weddings, engagements, baptism, celebrations and religious rituals and festivities were suspended or postponed. People couldn't afford to congregate, as the number of infected and the dead continued to spiral. Places of education and offices were ordered shut. Need for people, except those involved in essential services to foray outside their homes became nonexistent overnight. Such a drastic step was crucial to halt the viral death dance.
As the fallout of the above measures, 'life on the fast lane' came to a screeching halt. Man's self-assumed invincibility and self-conferred lofty preeminence and lofty claims of indispensability came crashing down.
Frills and embellishments of life which seemed inevitable and permanent suddenly assumed redundance. In fact, it became evident that a sub-millimetric microbe had managed to rewind time.
As places of worship remained closed, every house became an altar from where prayers were said. Family prayer, now exchanged for other comforts of life, especially television soap operas returned to every home. Adults had nowhere to go, as almost all places of employment, except probably healthcare facilities remained shut. Children too had nowhere to go, as schools were closed. Families rediscovered long-lost time together. Human beings discovered themselves as families and individuals. Youth found backyards of their homes equally appealing to party, as malls they frequented to satiate hunger and voyeuristic ways remained inaccessible. As hotels and eating places downed shutters, people increasingly ate from home. Exchanging stories and the days' incidents returned to dining tables at homes. With cinemas and malls closed, families sat around the television at homes. Card and board games returned to family spaces. With nothing to do for 'entertainment', parents played games with children in gardens and empty by lanes. People rediscovered the forgotten habit of reading 'to kill time'. The aged had children and grandchildren to spend time with them. It was driven home to people that marriages, engagements, baptisms and funerals could be conducted with undiminished piety and solemnity with sparse participants, with people conducting them saving precious money in trying times. With traffic density dipping abruptly, driving became a pleasurable experience. Traffic accidents plummeted. Air pollution dipped. Stars and the moon in the night sky appeared closer. Men woke up to bird calls than to alarms. Animals and birds left their forest abodes to foray into empty roads, bereft of over-speeding and threatening vehicles on. Rivers like the Ganges and Yamuna and lakes reflected the hue of the clear sky above as industrial pollutants ceased to flow into them. Man was forced to practice personal clean habits through washing of hands, and frequent showers. He gave up public spitting, sneezing and nose blowing, which was unthinkable in a country like India, where a microbe obviously had life retrace its beaten path, and even set time on a rewind mode, without robbing life of verve, zest and even efficiency.

P.D: Mañana empiezan a pulir el parquet en casa… ya os podéis imaginar el follón que se va a armar entre mover muebles, polvo y sobre todo limpiar cuando acaben… perooooo ¡quedará de maravilla!
Today I show U what I wore yesterday in Barcelona that I showed U on my Instagram account.
Some days ago, I picked this striped sweater from Mango's shop 'cause it's simple, classic and easy to mix (you can combine it in 1000 ways… well… maybe it's too much hehehe).
Do U remember the other striped sweater that I showed U some months ago?
Well… now It's too big and has its back shorter.
I think it's because of its poor quality and washes. So… a new striped sweater wasn't a bad idea.
PS: Tomorrow my house will be a mess 'cause we will change its floors into new parquet so I'll be helping to empty all the furniture, moving them and, at the end, cleaning everything.
But the result will be amazing! It's worth it.
Now I'm gonna go to the office, then I'll be helping at home for getting ready for tomorrow.
I'll upload as usual ;)).
outfit elegante y muy versátil!!!

Vertical Networks – An Ecosystem for every Profession?
Vertical networks are being created for a growing number of industries and professions. They are designed to meet the specific needs of their specialist audiences, unlike 'one-size-fits-all' horizontal networks such as LinkedIn that seek to serve all industries and every profession.
In order to quickly appeal to their sectors, vertical networks need to offer high value functions that make life easier for members. The US doctors' network Doximity is a case in point: Because of its strict membership controls and security standards, it is the only channel through which physicians can email each other to exchange confidential information about patients.
A high value function can quickly establish a vertical network as an essential part of daily life for members of an industry or profession. In doing so it lays the foundations for the network to become the ecosystem of the sector, gathering a wealth of rich data about the membership and the marketplace.
Some investors see great value in creating such ecosystems. Substantial sums are being invested in establishing dominant positions within specific sectors. One example of this is Edmodo for the education sector, which has more than 51 million members around the world. Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, is an investor and board member of Edmodo.
Advertising, recruitment and premium membership are amongst the most common ways in which operators monetize vertical networks. But each sector has different dynamics and no consistent business model has been established.
The technical challenge of building a vertical network platform is getting easier and 'white label' platforms promise to make it even simpler in future. This will accelerate the creation of vertical networks in many niche sectors.
Business communications were the birthplace of social networks, but faded from the spotlight with the rapid growth of consumer-focused platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. These served to cultivate widespread acceptance of the principles of social networking and thereby made it more popular among business professionals.
LinkedIn has been the biggest beneficiary of this cultural change. Not only is it the most successful business-focused platform. It is also home to more than two million groups meeting a multitude of business needs. LinkedIn serves a horizontal market of business people in all sectors. Many LinkedIn groups go some way to serving the needs of vertical markets, though a lack of dialogue between group owners and LinkedIn hampers their potential to bring commercial benefits to either party.
This unfulfilled potential has contributed to the growth of specialist business communities outside LinkedIn. These have been described using terms such as 'Vertical Professional Network', 'Social Business Network', 'Vertical Social Network', 'Social Professional Network' and 'Specialized Vertical Social Network'. In this paper they are described simply as 'Vertical Networks'.
Vertical Networks are now attracting increasing amounts of investment. The primary determinants of 'investment readiness' appear to be the scale and value of the market vertical being served and the existence of sector-specific facilities that drive regular, repeated usage.
Many Vertical Networks have been created and their numbers are growing rapidly. But most are still experimenting with methods of generating revenue and few have yet reached profitability. It is speculated that major corporations in technology, finance and media are considering some Vertical Networks as acquisition targets in the future. Amongst the most likely purchasers of Vertical Networks is said to be LinkedIn itself.

Gantry Crane Failure Modes
There are a lot of ways to abuse a crane. We won't go into those, but let's do take a minute on crane failures and what they look like. In general, there are 3 main gantry crane failure modes. Let's look at them, then discuss contributors and solutions to make your crane more robust.
What Is A Failure Mode?
A quick way to think about it is the difference between a "Failure" and a "Failure Mode". A Failure is anytime something breaks, or doesn't carry out the job. The Failure Mode, is a way of categorizing failures based on what or how it fails. For this discussion on Gantry Crane Failure Modes, we'll think about three: 1. Failure of the top beam; 2. Failure of the legs; 3. Failure of the lifting apparatus(s). We'll also talk about Contributors and Solutions to avoid the a crane catastrophe.
Gantry Crane Failure Mode: Top Beam Bending
This is sometimes called top beam folding. I found this image online at: The Practical Machinist. Don't know much about it, but I think it's awesome as a DIY crane gone wrong.
The crane construction is a nice idea in some respects, and it probably serves well for light things, but this time it's a bit too far. Classic gantry crane failure.
Note how the top beam folded very tightly around the lift strap. Also, how the bending of the top beam then overstressed and bent the top portion of the vertical leg. This is a perfect example of exceeding the top beam capacity. I'm glad are no injuries.
Contributors and Solutions (Top Beam):
Things that contribute to this kind of failure include these. Solutions to make it better are also in the discussion.
Beam Load Limits. Yes, this is the obvious point, the load exceeds the limits, but that IS the point. Know your limits, and stay well under them. For a DIY crane like this, you might have to calculate the limits, and if you can't and don't have a friend that can, then don't build the crane.
Point Loading. When there is only on strap or chain around a top beam, there are (in engineering speak) stress risers at that point. Simply spreading out the load — like using a trolley — reduces the stress at any one place. As a DIY hack, just put a chunk of wood, a 2×6 or something, on top of the beam, under the strap. It won't compensate for overloading the beam, but it will spread the load significantly.
Beam Type. Some beam types are just better for carrying horizontal loads. Thin-ish wall tubes like these hold lots of weight — when the weight is spread out and the ends are stable (see below). But, an I-Beam is much more suited. Please read the article on beam shapes.
Beam Size. In simple terms, the taller the beam, the more it carries. If you double the vertical dimension, you basically 4x the load capacity of the top beam. (Don't quote that number, because it's a generalization.) That's not really true for the legs, but in a horizontal bending condition, taller is better. Read the article on increasing load capacity for more perspective.
Proper Beam End Support. We'll talk about this more later, but it is definitely a contributor.
Gantry Crane Failure Mode: Leg Failure
There are a two ways a crane leg will typically fail. Usually for a gantry crane, the failure occurs because the top of the leg doesn't stay directly over the bottom. (Think straight up and down.) And, that is evident in the first photo above. When something happens to wiggle the top beam or move it somehow — either by a swinging load, or someone trying to drag it on it's casters, or some other condition — the load in the leg becomes less than axial, and often that leads to failure.
For example, in the crane failure photo above, the folding of the main beam pulled the legs (both) inward, and put a huge bending moment at the leg tops. The relief of all that stress came when the top of the one leg also failed (bent).
The second, much less frequent failure is column buckling of the legs. That means the leg becomes over stressed and collapses. Most times that's a bowing out and buckling of the leg, but on rare occasions it's a collapse like stepping on a soda can.
To be complete, a third type of leg failure is when the gantry is on a track, and the track supports fail. A concrete wall, for instance, but we won't go into that.
Contributors and Solutions (Legs):
Leg failures are less common than top beam gantry crane failures. However, as noted above in #5 above, legs that are not well supporting contribute to the top beam folding. Either way, it's a gantry crane failure. Remember the weakest link — if the legs are weaker than the top beam, they'll fail first.
Here are some things that can cause this, along with solutions.
Stiff Legs. Truly, the top beam is up there high, and only the stiffness of the legs keep in place. We frequently see legs that are braced perpendicular to the top beam, but not very often do we see them braced parallel to the main beam. If you think about strong shapes, an open rectangle is not very strong except when the legs are perfectly vertical. That gives emphasis to the need for stiff legs, and . . .
Stiff Connections. Related, to the above, beam connections are a critical area. A stiff leg easily becomes much stiffer when gussets to the main beam are incorporated. The gantry crane failure above as well as this crane shown (Cap 3 Tons) both illustrate a lack of gusset. Any side to side wobbling of the crane — even just pulling on one side to move it when loaded — can cause the joint to fail.
High Forces. Even when the materials are super strong, we can't forget that these materials are under massive stress. And, if it's anywhere near the limit, just a little more in the wrong direction can bring it all tumbling down. Youtube is full of examples.
Crane is on sloping or uneven ground. See Unsure Footing below.
Related, When you build a crane, make it straight and true. It's like the Unsure Footing, but it's built in, and it may never stand straight enough to carry the loads you intend. When you build, take the time to do it right.
Wheels. This point is in it's own section below.
Dynamic Loads. Any load that moves around on the crane is potentially a contribution to failure. This includes swinging loads, bouncing loads, attempts at moving a crane by pulling on one leg (thereby splaying the legs). Swinging loads should be obvious. Bouncing loads . . . the top beam is a very stiff spring. If your load is "dropped" slightly — even if it's just the popping movement of a chain or hook or cable — can cause the load to bounce. That puts extremely high forces on the system.
There's a lot here to take in. Hopefully I'm communicating that it's a bunch of little things that keep the crane standing up. It's important to note that many of these compound to weaken a crane. For instance, missing upper gussets, wheels, and a swinging load. (It's the photo above with a swinging load, and it all comes crashing down.)
Unsure Footing
I'm not sure how to label this one, but basically it means things are not straight and true. For instance, using a gantry crane on a sloped driveway — the loads don't go straight down through the legs. The legs then carry a bending load too, so the total vertical load capacity is drastically less. Another example is when the feet are not sitting parallel, creating a twist on the top beam. How you place the crane matters.
Another aspect of sure footing is the security of the leg position. To that end, we have a whole article section below about wheels.
Wheels: Why We Love Them, & Why We Might Hate Them.
Nearly all Gantry Cranes have some type of mobility. On smaller cranes wheels are nearly universal, and why not, it's so much better for crane positioning and/or moving the load. However, they drastically decrease the load holding capacity of the vertical legs. No, not because of the wheel capacity, but because they don't give a stable platform for the crane.
The Basic Crane Leg
Think about the crane leg setting flat on the ground. Think of it as the "T", upside down with two large gussets supporting it. That's typical of a small gantry. See the image.
Vectors in these images show the major forces. Red arrows show force down through the leg from the top beam. Purple arrows show the forces supporting the crane (from the ground).
The legs in this first simple case will not roll or slip or otherwise move when a significant load is on it. It also directs the vertical loads coming down the leg directly into the ground. Because the bottom is flat, it's perfectly happy standing there straight up.
Crane Legs With Wheels
Compare that to the same crane let, but with casters added. Forces are basically the same, except they also pass through the added wheels. Of course, these wheels are plenty strong, that's not the issue.
Wheels naturally want to roll, so only a little force will cause them to do it. The load coming directly down the leg is NOT straight into the ground — it's offset by the caster distance. (In the side view.) That means the leg naturally wants to tip over. More explicitly, it wants to start tipping then roll out and fall. It's only because of the joint strength at the TOP (where the leg connects to the gantry beam) that the legs stay vertical. These legs definitely will not naturally stand up on their own.
The Engineering
In engineering speak, we refer to legs with wheels as having additional degrees of freedom. The leg is NOT solidly planted, so movement must be accounted for.
Having wheels on the legs allows the legs to more easily move or bend, which puts a lot more stress at the top beam joint. If you must use casters, make sure you overdesign the legs and especially the joints, to take lots of additional stress. Even if you orient the wheels so the leg forces are planar, if you move the crane, they will caster. If you won't be moving the crane when loaded, why have the wheels?
We like wheels, so, our solution is to put springs between the legs and wheels such that the springs compress and the legs stand firmly on the ground under load. This solution gives roll-around freedom when empty (or lightly loaded), yet forces safety when loaded. See the photo. This approach is simple, and solves the safety problems. (Blueprints for these are in all our Gantry Crane Plans.)
Gantry Crane Failure Mode: Auxiliary Equipment
We often think of the Gantry Crane by itself, the legs and the overhead cross beam. Those by themselves don't often fail — unless there is something attached — the load — which is held by auxiliary equipment. The lifting equipment is the 3rd gantry crane failure mode.
We won't spend a lot of time here, but there are trolleys, straps, chains, cables, hooks, winches, gears, levers, come-alongs, pulleys and a host of other things that can lift the load. How they connect to the crane is crucial (as mentioned above), but also their own capacity and the interaction of you with these devices. Make sure auxiliary equipment is rated for the loads, and make sure you know the weakest link.
The Gantry Crane Failure Perception
If you think some of these gantry crane failure modes are weird, please think about stressing things near their limit. It doesn't take much to push them over the edge. Unfortunately, they don't usually give much warning.
The best practice is always to respect the crane and other lifting equipment. By respect, I mean don't push it to the limits, and follow the practical safety measures. Just don't do it, because in a fraction of a second you may destroy your work at a minimum, or totally change your life at the worst. It's just not worth it.
Disaster strikes in seconds, like in this gantry crane accident.
The Compounding Effect
It is always interesting to me as an engineer as I consult with people about failures. Forensics, as we call it, is really figuring out what happened and why things die (fail). Not very often is it just one thing. Normally it's a series of things that create the final problem.
Looking at the small crane image above (the one that says Cap 3 Tons). I can see this one ready for problems just because there are several small things biasing a reduced capacity. First, the wheels make it so the legs are not secure at the bottom. Second, the beam is pretty high. Longer legs = lower capacity. Third, the top joints where the gantry beam connects to the legs is not very solid. There is not a gusset there to stiffen that joint.
A Scenario: So, the crane is placed and a full 6000 lb load is lifted with the chain fall. Then one of the guys grabs a leg and pulls on it hard to the side to move the crane. That introduces motion, but the inertia of the load doesn't immediately move. In a second, the load starts to swing on the crane, which makes it easier for the guy to pull the leg (while the load is swinging his direction), so he pulls more. The load then starts swinging in the opposite direction, with the guy still pulling on the leg, and suddenly the legs splay and it all comes crashing down. There are no serious injuries, but the the splaying leg undercuts the guy pulling the crane.
It's not one thing, it's a combination of things.
Ways to Counteract Failure
First, make sure the design of the crane far exceeds the max load. The max load should be a fraction of the true calculated max.
Second, make the joints rigid with gussets or other mechanics.
Third, set the crane on the ground when lifting. Use other, safer methods to move the load around. Things like a cart are much safer.
Fourth, if you must move a loaded crane with wheels, connect the feet with a rigid bar. It can clamp on, but this will avoid having the legs splay.
Fifth, do your absolute best to avoid load dynamics like bouncing or swinging.
The gantry crane is a system, and gantry crane failure is never out of the question. Just be smart, and the likelihood of you being an eye witness of such a failure goes way down.

Does Your Trailer Have Attitude?
When we think about airplanes as they fly, or boats as they sail, it's not uncommon to imagine how they move. An airplane rolls some as it banks into a turn. A boat pitches up and down with the waves. So, how do these factors — Pitch, Yaw and Roll — apply to trailers and […]

I very rarely go out to the movies as I prefer to curl up in a recliner with Bella Boo (my Min Pin) and one or two kitties. While I am watching TV or a movie seems to the only time that I can set aside to bead anymore. And here I go rambling again..well kinda.
So anyways, I had mentioned that we were planning to go see Wolverine. Instead, I let my DH talk me into the new Star Trek. I am really glad that I did. I grew up on ST but grew really discouraged by the offering after Next Generation. This movie caused me to fall in love all over again. I would love to see this cast in a weekly series but I doubt that will ever happen. I do recommend this movie to any old school trekker.
Since ST is all about new frontier, do you have any new frontiers that you would like to explore this year? I know that I want to explore photography and editing so that I can finally get my jewelry uploaded to my Etsy site.
