Volvo PV444 – the "little Volvo" turns 70
The Volvo PV444 was the start and the symbol for the new Volvo after the Second World War, and marked the start of its export drive to the USA. 1 September will mark the 70th anniversary of its première in royal presence.
On 1 September 1944 an exhibition opened that would become very important for the development of Volvo. The location was the newly built Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm.
Out in the world the Second World War was still going on. But Volvo was looking ahead to the peace that would come shortly. The exhibition was to show what the then 18 year old company had done previously, what they were producing at the time, and what the public could expect when peace came.
The exhibition covered the entire Volvo Group and visitors got to see everything from a tank to hole grinding machines - and two new Volvo cars: The PV60 and the PV444. They were called "Volvo's doves of peace" in Volvo's customer magazine, Ratten.
The PV60 was a pre-war design meant to have premièred in 1940, but when the Second World War broke out the plans were scrapped because production of civilian cars by Volvo practically ceased.
The big star at the exhibition at the Royal Tennis Hall was, without a doubt, the "little Volvo", the PV444. Visitors stood on several levels to catch a glimpse of the car. What they got to see was a prototype that could not even run.
When the PV444 was unveiled in September 1944, work to develop the model had only been going on for a couple of years. Around 40 designers were working on developing the new car. A full scale wooden model was built and painted black, with silver paint denoting where there were meant to be windows. It was completed in March 1944 and shown to Volvo's founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson. After having looked at the car for a short time, both gentlemen took a decision that would affect Volvo's entire future as a car manufacturer - the car would be built.
During the exhibition and briefly thereafter, 2300 sale agreements for the PV444 were signed. But it would be some time before any cars could be delivered. During the years that followed, prototype cars were subjected to tough testing, and it was only on 3 February 1947 that the first car was signed off, with production starting in earnest the next month.
The PV444 was not just the first smaller car made by Volvo. It was also the first model with a monocoque body. The four-cylinder engine was a completely new design and was Volvo's first overhead valve design for a passenger car. The engine was 1.4 litres and its first version was capable of 40 hp SAE. All of the so-called A model PV444s were painted black using cellulose paint with metal parts inside the car painted in a light green colour.
Among the prominent visitors to the inauguration on 1 September 1944 were Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, Princes Carl and Eugen, and Prince Carl Johan, uncle of King Carl XVI Gustaf. They were received by Volvo's founders Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson.
When the exhibition in Stockholm closed after ten days, 148,437 visitors had passed through. The queues regularly snaked along Lidingövägen outside of the Tennis Hall. Every day a PV444 was raffled among visitors to the exhibition. Everyone who had a phone subscription in Stockholm had received a free ticket. Many paying visitors also came and paid an entrance fee of one krona. Income from ticket sales was donated in full to the Red Cross.
When the PV60 and PV444 were presented Volvo's exports were modest. The magazine Ratten said the cars would: "make the public here in Sweden happy and even to some extent abroad once peace is reinstated". But it was with the PV444 that Volvo would establish its historically most important export market: the USA. On 15 August 1955, the first trial delivery of PV444s arrived in Los Angeles. The year after, Volvo had made its way to second place among the import brands in California.
Originally, it was intended for 8,000 PV444s to be built, a rather bold goal given that Volvo had previously never built more than 2,000 cars. But the "little Volvo" hit the mark just right. Almost 200,000 PV444s were produced up to 1958. If you include the modernised PV544, which was produced until October 1965, the total becomes exactly 440,000 cars. 160,000 of these were exported and 280,000 were sold in Sweden.

What is Delight? A feely, subjective, hard-to-pin-down term. So daringly un-quantifiable, so proudly im-measurable. And now, suddenly, all the rage in data-driven Silicon Valley. Like so many other things in Silicon Valley, the word is a legacy of Steve Jobs, the Apple Inc. co-founder who often spoke of wanting to "surprise & delight" people.
It's not just Silicon Valley that is drowning in delight.
In the surest sign that delight may be on the cusp of morphing from insurgent idea to over-used buzzword, Microsoft Corp. in Washington and Dell Inc. in Texas have embraced it. It's the corporate equivalent of parents joining Facebook, making it instantly "uncool".
"In all our work with partners and on our own devices, we will focus relentlessly on delivering delightful, seamless experiences across hardware, software & services," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer wrote in the company's annual shareholder letter.
A Silicon Valley strategy? On the surface, delight seems so goofily (is that a word?) Californian, a spacey, new-age notion, that it practically begs to be mocked. Hold the egg rolls, however, because underneath its trendiness & the suspicion that it's just some new marketing babble, the talk of delight signals a radical shift in the way Silicon Valley creates products. Someone invoking the principles of delight is saying that when thinking about making a product, what should come first is not the technology, but the people it is intended to serve.


The former goal machine makes honest admission about the Ibrox club's deadly rivals.
As a player Ally McCoist often wore a smile as wide as the Clyde as he strutted his stuff at Celtic Park.
But now the legendary Rangers striker can't even bring himself to look at the stadium.
McCoist netted 27 times against Celtic during a fabled career, with many of those coming in Glasgow's East End.
One of the most iconic pictures of the goal machine is of him celebrating his goal in front of the away fans during the 1998 Scottish Cup semi-final as he helped send his side to the showpiece event.
On his knees and with tears of joys filling his eyes, McCoist is a picture of emotion.
But now a different feeling fills him as he drives along the M74.
You see, the 56-year-old daren't look at the imposing ground.
McCoist told listeners on talkSPORT: "When I'm on that new stretch of motorway that takes you the other side of Glasgow, I look the other way.

What is Bilateral Tinnitus?
Causes of Shrill High Pitched Ringing in Ears

Ringing in the Ears & Sodium Intake
Written by Lindsay Boyers
Ringing in the ears is medically referred to as tinnitus. It is important to note that tinnitus is not a disease, but rather a symptom of another underlying medical condition. Although tinnitus can cause a great deal of distress, it does not usually indicate a serious condition. According to MayoClinic.com, tinnitus affects one in five people and often worsens with increasing age 1.
There are two types of tinnitus: subjective and objective. Subjective tinnitus refers to ringing in the ears that can only be heard by the affected individual. It is the most common type of tinnitus and may occur as a result of problems in the outer, middle or inner portion of the ear or problems with the auditory nerves. Objective tinnitus refers to ringing in the ears that can be heard by others, such as when a doctor places a stethoscope near the ear. This type of tinnitus is less common, and may be caused by blood vessel conditions, abnormal muscle contractions or problems with the bones in the inner ears.
Tinnitus may be described as ringing, clicking, roaring, buzzing or whistling. The noise can vary in pitch from very low to extremely high. MayoClinic.com notes that occasionally the sound can be so loud that it interferes with your ability to hear normal sound 1. It can affect one or both ears and may be constant or periodically come and go.
Treatment for tinnitus focuses on correcting the underlying cause of the condition. Noise suppression techniques may also be used to ease the sounds of tinnitus. Examples of noise suppression techniques include white noise machines, hearing aids and masking devices, which are worn in the ear and produce white noise.
According to MayoClinic.com, high blood pressure can make tinnitus more noticeable 1. Reducing your sodium intake can help reduce your blood pressure. When you eat too much sodium, your body retains water in an effort to maintain fluid and salt balance. Water retention increases blood volume and leads to increased blood pressure. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends consuming no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Adults over the age of 51 or people who already have high blood pressure should consume less than 1,500 mg of sodium daily. According to "Nutrition and You" by Joan Salge Blake, Americans consume more than 3,400 mg of sodium on average every day 3.
"Nutrition and You" notes that 77 percent of the sodium in the American diet comes from processed foods that use sodium to increase shelf-life 3. Canned foods and soups contribute the most sodium to the diet. It is important to avoid these processed foods as much as possible. When restricting your sodium intake, it is also important to avoid adding salt to foods and cooking with seasonings that contain salt. Foods that contain naturally occurring sodium include:
These should be your sources of dietary sodium.
Noise suppression techniques may also be used to ease the sounds of tinnitus. "Nutrition and You" notes that 77 percent of the sodium in the American diet comes from processed foods that use sodium to increase shelf-life 3. Subjective tinnitus refers to ringing in the ears that can only be heard by the affected individual.

Speaking of things changing in a year, so if anyone listened to last week's episode, they know that you just closed on your new house here in town. And this morning, I came over and I watched the boys while you and Bob were closing on the house and mostly I helped max make sure that he was on his zooms on time and stuff like that Reese was pretty self sufficient. But it was so funny because max got off of his first zoom of the morning and you know, he just been sitting there very quietly as max does. And he gets off you know, they go back back until he had left and I said would you learn and he says, I have a tooth in my mouth. I said, What? My tooth fell out at the worst possible moment. Well, I was on that zoom. like where is it now and he goes in my mouth. I didn't want to spit it out and have it be weird. Like any like specific judges hand It is like look my to spend I like found a plate, like put it on the plate and the kitchen.
He was so Matter of fact about
this my tooth that I was wiggling out with my tongue today and it fell out in the middle of the zoom and just like picturing him just sitting there because he didn't make a peep. He didn't act like anything was wrong. He was just so nonchalant the whole time as he just had this random tooth just loosely hanging around in his mouth, but he didn't want to spit out because they didn't want to be weird on his zoo.
kids got a future in broadcasting
he really does is just unflappable.
That is funny. It's funny because that tooth in particular, we've been trying to get out for a while now and so somebody said just pop out when he wasn't really doing anything about it. Yeah,
yeah, that's what he said. He was like how we've been like trying to pull it wouldn't come out. So it's just so weird that it just like, fell out just at the worst possible time.
It was my laugh for the day. So
it was really cute though.
It could have been worse times. Right. I wanted to be like, I mean, there could have been okay. Yeah, sure.

Anyway, but yeah, so now I feel like he's also finally opening up like finally decided I'm not a scary human. Cuz he you know, when you guys you know, living down in Texas. I've only seen him a couple of times and met him a couple of times, and He's a quiet kid and takes a little bit to open up to new people and like today, I finally now seen him, you know, like three times or something in the last month and so today he was finally like chatty with me. So
good. He did say after you left, he called you my friend. Oh, like his friends. But I mean, though, like mom's friend's mom's friend.

Oh, man. Life is funny cuz her funny. Love it. So. Yeah, we've been doing this podcast thing for a year this week.
Yeah, it's kind of funny like the the thing about having to be a year is because this year itself has been so weird. Yes. Were like March felt so so so long. Mm hmm. But then like It's September now. Get ready. So it's like the longest, shortest, slowest, fastest, right? weirdest year. Right?
Right. And then yeah, you throw in like the pandemic, you throw in me suddenly just out of the blue having a baby and maternity leave and trying to figure all of that out. And it was it was it's been a wild year. It's been there's been a lot of very high highs and very low lows. So
yeah, I don't
I don't know that.
We could have predicted could have predicted our first Your way no way. But yeah, here we are, you know, 40 this will be Episode 43. We've had Yeah. A couple Minnesota weeks. Yeah.
Yeah. So we had took some time off honestly for summertime. And I think during maternity, you're on maternity leave, which takes some time. And we took
a couple weeks around New Years and Christmas and had a little bit of a little bit of a holiday break. But it's been we've, we've kept at it. I'm really proud of us, Megan.
Me too. But I mean, you're a woman and I'm five. So
right. Well, there's that and coming on and chatting with you is one of my favorite parts of the week. So it's just it's fun to get on here. It's fun to talk to you. It's fun to talk to our guests. I always learn something no matter what topic we are talking to our guests about. We've covered like so many different with guests and so many different types of people that we've talked to, and I always learn something really interesting. It's funny because I feel like a lot of times on Tuesdays in particular, I just always so tired at the end of the day. And sometimes I'm like, Okay, I got Okay, we got a record. I got like one more thing I have to do today. And then I get on and I'm like,
Oh, yeah, this is fun. I forgot.
For like, two hours because we always talk about before we actually start recording and then we stop recording. And then we usually talk for like, another 30 minutes.
Right as if we haven't just talked for an hour and a half. Right.
And we work together docile, talking all day, all day via texting. So
yeah, no, that's fine. That's why we're that's why we're Sister Wives.
what has been your favorite thing about doing the podcast?
Aside from getting to do with you
Yeah, I do really love having guests because I love getting that extra perspective from people. Mm hmm. And I do feel like I have learned a lot in a short amount of time just by having that guest and been exposed to a lot of different people that I didn't know before. Mm hmm. Obviously, Adi was like our first guest.
Yeah. And she's like a real friend for
you, friend now and she's super awesome. I love her and I just want to have her on all the time, which I just say all the time. Well, we want to that we wanted to have a skincare only podcast. We totally could but
we totally could. But um
yeah, and and Kathleen too, and just everybody that I've met basically from having them as guests. It's been really extra bonus.
Yeah, I love it. I love it. I I feel like because a lot of the guests that we've had on are people that I have known well For a long time, but I feel like I've gotten to know them even better by having them on and I just love chatting with people about the things that they're passionate about or the things that are important in their lives. And I think that that is it's so much fun. I'm I'm trying to, I'm trying to sit here and think of like, who my who my favorite guest has been like what my what my favorite guest episode was, I'm gonna say like on a cat count because again, we could just like chat with her for 11,000 years and Kathleen's turned into a had to turn into a two episode series because we
talked to her for so long.
But I actually
even though it wasn't like
a super like happy fluffy episode. I really liked talking to my friend Caleb About that was Episode 18, the separation of church and faith and talking about his experiences of growing up queer within the church, and I've, you know, known him most of my life. And so it was just really special to like get to talk to him and have him share his story with us. It was the first time he had really shared his story in a public way. And so it was really special that he trusted us with that. And that so I think, I think that was one of my like, favorite episodes just because I felt like he knew that we were a safe space and he knew that our listeners were a safe space to share that piece of his story. And that was that was just really, really special to me.
Yeah, that was a really good one. One of my favorite episodes was actually one that I am not even on. is the one where you interviewed Aaron, being your own healthcare advocate. I thought that was a really great episode. So good job to you. It's really important information. Yeah. For people these days, especially like the timing of that episode. Oh my god, but great. Before all the COVID stuff.
Oh my gosh, you're right. I just looked at the date that it aired. Yeah, cuz it aired at the beginning of March. So yeah, it was and, and, you know, and I've had a couple people that have, like, listened to that episode and messaged me and been like, Oh, this was so helpful as I was, you know, getting ready to, you know, start fertility treatments or, you know, whatever it was that just like they're reminders of how they can advocate for themselves within the healthcare system. So yeah, that was that was that was really good timing. It's like we knew something we didn't know anything. We know. We do
We got Jon Snow. We knew nothing.
We You'd probably do a follow up actually, we should about how all of that has changed.
Oh, yeah. Oh,
Aaron would have like hours of things too. So I good lord. Yeah, I feel like I saw her recently not too long ago and I think we just like talk for hours about how just wild everything is for her working in public health right now. But yeah, you know what we should I was gonna say to you that we need to, we need to plan out some episodes. So maybe we'll get Aaron back on the schedule and have a little little follow up. You know, here six months later, what have we. Yeah, what have we learned? What's happening? What can What else can we do? So
we do plan our episodes, listeners, like sometimes it sounds like we don't, but we try to
we do. Yeah, you know, we try to think about the season and we try to think about what's going on in our lives and our listeners lives and Just all this stuff and think about, you know, what you guys would find interesting to listen to and you know what, what we think is interesting for us to talk about and all of that stuff. So we're always open to hearing your suggestions to so if you're ever like, hey, I'd love to hear you. Yep for an hour about
or even if you yourself are an expert, and I mean, everybody's an expert in something. Oh, might not realize it, but they totally are. But there's a topic that you're like, I want to talk about this, because I'm awesome. Like, you probably are awesome. Come on.
Let's talk about it.
I do remember one of your one of our listeners, I think. I think you said he was one of your mom's friends. Uh huh. wanted to talk about tiny houses. Yeah, I totally need to get that on the books because I have things to say about time.
Oh, I
have got so many things to say about tiny houses. The people that go shopping for tiny houses on HGTV oh so many things to say.
I do think the fun of having the guests that we that we already know in in real life now that we have to have people that we already know but it gives you like I think as you were saying before like gives you a glimpse into like who they are on that like expert professional level. Mm hmm and so it's not like how you normally interact with them and it's so interesting like listen to them on that level.
Yes, absolutely. Yeah for sure. Because I I have you know, friends that I think you know when you you hang out with their friends and you go out with them and you're just usually chilling like their topic of expertise like might come up but you're not usually just sitting and chatting about it like an Rei hated, you know, 45 minutes to an hour. Whereas when we're sitting here and we're chatting with someone, and we're really like digging into the thing that they know so much about you, you do, you're just like, Oh, my friends are really smart.
buffers are really smart and really interesting.
I also you, you might not get into a conversation about the
origins of Fleet farm and farmer fleet.
You know, me it might happen.
And listeners, you've got an eye, you really have to know that those actually are the types of conversations that we have off mic to like, these are not these conversations are not staged for the podcast. These
this is the kind of shit that we talk about just when we're hanging out. So You really
you know what, honestly,
the things I just need to know answers. I need to know
all the things. Um, some of the messages that I enjoy the most are the messages from listeners when they're like, I feel like I'm just hanging out with you guys. When I'm listening to you like, I feel like I'm just like hanging out with my girlfriends. When I listen to your podcast, those are honestly my favorite messages.
They make us feel really good because normally when we do the podcast, we're like hot messes. Oh, oh, so always a hot mess. To know that like, we're we're doing something right on some level, I suppose. Like, that's good. Yeah,
it makes us It makes us feel good. It's not that we
would change anything because we
know. Here we are 43 episodes.
Although if you paid attention, we had new intro music too. day
we thought we would change it up for our second year.
we did get tired of the flutes I'm sorry if you were really flute flute lovers,
but you know, it's okay we all know every once in a while yeah you know it's like a TV shows do that you know they change the their theme song or they like get a new person to sing it or
right well it's we because it's a podcast we don't have the ability to you know slot in new pictures into our little like card sequence. So I think the new music is the option there for a podcast
that is like weirdly one of my favorite things when I'm binge watching a show.
To see how they changed it yes
to see like from season to season, how they change the theme and or how they change the opening like Grey's Anatomy the first season or to have like this full like intro and then just Got to where it was. It's literally just like a title card and like that's it.
And then these are the names at the bottom like while the Showtime Yeah,
yeah. So I that is weirdly one of my favorite things to pay attention to when I'm binge watching a show that's been on for a really long time. Oh, here's Okay. Here's an interesting question. This has absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking about, but we never go on rabbit trails. So I saw somebody ask in I want to say it was a binge mode Facebook group. The they asked, like if you had to pick five TV series to watch like they were the only five that you could watch for the rest of forever. What would your five be?
I mean, it has to be the good place. Mm hmm.
shits Creek?
Look, I'm gonna pick only comedies
that's fine. Um
there's no wrong answer. But again, I know.
I'm Parks and Rec, I guess because I already watched one all the time.
Over and over.
I want to pick one that has like really like lots and lots of seasons. Because I have to watch it for the rest of my life that it needs to be like long. You know? So I can space it out. I think I would throw lost in there and Okay, that's a good long show and has lots of things you can like pull out of and then there's one more I have one left.
So in theory, would it be shows that like,
are done, and you know, there aren't going to be any more seasons or I think we need, like you said the bachelor like, because that's probably what you would say, like the bachelor's is going to go on until the end of time and right like, That's cheating.
It's bachelor was not in my five. Okay.
So I,
I would say I would say reality shows don't count.
Okay. Yeah, because I just don't end right. Unless you had to watch unless you like to had to specifically pick like, you have to pick season 47. And that's it. I got one more. Whoo. This is tough. trying to think of other shows that I really, really love. But I was also trying to think I was trying to be like a nerd and try to think of like an intellectual show that I can learn something from Sure. Yes. But I am totally blank apparently I only like four TV shows.
What are you? So three of ours are the same. So the I said shits Creek, Parks and Rec and The Good Place. And then my other two were Jane The Virgin and Veronica Mars.
Ah, yes.
Many themes there.
I have a whole variety of themes. Although, although none of them have like lots and lots and lots of seasons, so they're all like relative like a little bit shorter. Also, I guess we don't know for sure that Veronica Mars is over but I decided to count it. So that's probably the one that I you could talk me into swapping out if I could think of something else that I liked a whole lot better. But I also was like trying to come up with ones that like we're the Indians are like satisfying and don't pissed me off.
Yeah, I mean, you could always just not watch the ending, I guess.
I mean, that's true. You would, I guess have to not watch the ending of last.
I can't, I'm trying to think of other shows now. It's gonna bother you, isn't it? It doesn't bother me. And I'm like, What did I use to watch and enjoy?
I mean, as soon as I get through a game of thrones, and they're, like, I could probably swap out front of cars for Game of Thrones, even though the last part there's some of the last season that I'm like.
I don't know if I can really rewatch that show, actually.
I know maybe like,
a couple times, but maybe I don't know if I could like constantly rewatch I mean, the episodes
are long. So you know from now until the rest of your life you might only have time to rewatch it twice. Depends, I guess, I guess. post on how quickly you're like, going through it.
Yeah, if you only watch like
if you're watching it every day that's definitely different from like, if you're watching, you know if you only watch one episode on like a Saturday or something. Exactly,
exactly. So, really there's there's lots of hypothetical situations.
Like Do I have to watch it every day?
I think you get to do other things in your life besides watch these TV show.
Maybe that's why I can't come up with the fifth TV show.
It's just, uh, you know, we, we do get to make the rules I guess for these this hypothetical situation.
Like, is that cheating if I say The Daily Show, because I would just want to watch Trevor Noah every day
feeling fine. I think that is probably cheating. Dammit. But, you know, I feel like maybe we can. Maybe there's like YouTube videos we can allow you to watch.
So do you feel in the past year you have learned anything about podcasting?
Yeah, I mean, well, so it's interesting because I listened to podcasts before we started podcasting, obviously. And I listened to them differently now because like, I know a little bit more about what's going on, like, behind the scenes. Mm hmm. So I always I, I just the way that I like, listen to them some, especially if it's the first time I'm listening to a podcast like I don't want to say I'm judgy
Oh, but you weren't Big
but we're, we're judgy anyway.
We are checking but we're judgy and so sometimes I'm like I'm like are they do we think that they're using like good mics? Are they like into echo echo? We have a room like what is happening? Like, I don't know. So yeah, I feel like I have I feel like I've learned things about. I feel like there's I feel like there's still lots and lots to learn. And I also feel like if 2020 had not been how 2020 is that like you and I probably would have ended up going to like a podcasting conference or something. So that we could learn even more because again, it's our personality types. We strive for excellence in all things.
Yeah, that was definitely originally on my goal for the year was to go to a podcasting thing.
Yeah, but, but I do the same thing where I listen to podcasts now, especially like the new ones were or not, you know, new to us ones. Mm hmm. Where I try to listen to it then I'm like, oh, whoa, their sound is really bad. Right? Sound What is going on? No, I don't like this now. Yeah. Because you just get a feel for the way they talk to each other. I think too, if it's, you know, most people podcast and for whatever reason, even if the people are meant to like, click, they don't click for me. Yeah, sometimes, if that makes sense. Sure. Yeah, it's interesting, because there have been a couple podcasts that have been very recommended to me and I've listened to a few have tried to give it to you more than one episode and I'm just like, I just can't do it. Yeah,
I also hope is it you attended something not too long after we started pod
and I attended lots of things
your attention a lot happened last year something
and you went to a session I think was about podcasting and they gave out a stat. I'm probably gonna get it wrong girl
girl. That was our conference
was an archive.
So she attended the conference that she planned.
Bless my heart.
Beckett attended the conference that she planned and we had a speaker broadcasting. I was in the other room. I didn't get to go to like any session. Megan
was very busy with his sponsors. Um,
and what did he say is something like most podcasts don't make it past like their sixth episode or something
was asked, I believe that's what he said. There's a lot of paths. So there's a lot of a lot of podcasts out there. Yes, but most podcasts stop after like, a couple of months. Yeah. So if you make it past like six months, then that's like, you know better than most podcasts because most people quit. Yeah, so camera the exact edit. I'm in an Airbnb. I do not have my notes. Yes, it was some sort of stat like that. Where that if that most people quit really early on, as the biggest thing is consistency and to keep doing it for for a while because you also don't really, unless you're like, famous. Mm hmm. You're not going to gain traction. Well Frank listeners and things like that and tell you're at least six months into it, right? also maybe like toward more towards the year, which now we are.
Yeah. And yeah, you know, that's the other thing I really enjoy about like listening to podcasts now is that if it's a podcast that's been going on for a little while, I will sometimes go and like, go back and listen to some of their first episodes. And I'm like, Oh, they were a hot mess. So it's kind of fun to be like, oh man, cuz you could use like, you can kind of listen to people as they get in their groove, right? And they kind of become the show that you like, grew to love them for.
So I was
like, it's kind of fun to listen to. Because it's like, I feel like I remember us like trying to kind of get into our groove and like figuring out like our flow and, again, a lot of times we're still sort of a hot mess and figuring out what the fuck we're doing. But I do feel like we've fallen into flow. Yeah,
we're getting there. Well,
I mean, I guess on one hand I'm like, I'm hopefully people would tell us if we aren't but on the other hand, I'm like, maybe I'm kind of happy people don't.
I mean, we're having fun. So you know, right. Important thing. I you know what, that's the thing though, is that if we have like one listener, I feel like I would still have so much fun doing this with you. So having
more than one listener makes me happy. Yeah, but it's I mean any listeners is awesome.
Any listeners is great. And this is like a bonus because it's just it's a fun thing to do. So I think it's important reminder that like, all the things, we live in a real like side hustle world, right? Everything's this side hustle. And I don't think everything needs to necessarily be a big side hustle. Like sometimes we can just do things because we enjoy doing them and they're fun.
I think that's why we've been able to keep it going for a year Grinch. I mean, a year is not necessarily a long time. But as I just said a year and a podcast is a long time. But it's because we're not like trying to make dolla dolla bills on the podcast. We're just like having fun and document that friends. And that is what we care about. Like, I guess it'd be cool if somebody wanted to advertise on the podcast, but also like, it's totally fine that no one Wait, I am cool with that. I don't want to have to worry about it necessarily.
Exactly. It just lets us be exactly who we want to be. We can say what we want to say can we can have it be exactly where we want it to be. We can swear all she want. I can say fuck as much as I want. I can label this as an explicit podcast on Apple. Pull podcasts
just in cases, just in cases.
Yeah. Because you know, I'm gonna drop an F bomb probably at least once a podcasts
usually do swear at least once.
I can't help myself.
Sometimes it just calls for it.
I hate Wait, I did not swear when we had resawn
that is true. We didn't have a minor.
And so I
was a good girl and I did not swear when we had your son on the podcast. So there you came one out of 43
very good ratio, a kind of good for me.
So what Megan, what do you hope for the podcast in our second year?
Okay, well, I know we just have we don't really care about having lots of readers and listeners and stuff, but it would be cool to have more listeners.
Yeah, just to spread it a little bit more.
Because I cuz like we have fun with it. So we think people would enjoy listening to us. There's that awesome. So we already do our we keep up our schedule, which is awesome. So I don't feel like we need to like worry about that goal. But I would love to have more awesome variety of guests. Ah, because we, you know, we basically just go to our friend groups and like, figure out from there, right, but who do we know right it'd be great to get some other people that we might not necessarily know or just you know, through social media or something like that because I would love to get a wider variety of topics in and there's just so much stuff that we could talk about. And I just want to hear I'm so into like information that I'm just like out here everything but everything all the time. All of your secret about whatever random topic it is not whatever like I don't we're not going to do an episode on model trains. But
convince me maybe there's a good reason to
do and I'm speaking speaking of
on my way to your Airbnb this morning so watch the boys I picked up coffee and I did curbside pickup. And when a guy walks up to the car to hand me the coffee I was definitely listening to an episode of you're wrong about about exorcism after I was like, that's a really, really weird thing for him to like walk up to be listen to someone talk about.
Well, I have to say I've been listening to the radio here a little bit since I've been here and there is some weird stuff on the radio.
Well, like
I am not like they they're masters commercials but they're not commercials and I do not know what's going on.
And I have many questions are radio stations are not the best here, I will absolutely give you that. They kind of suck.
So you were in the car this morning and I can't even remember what was happening, but they were just talking. And I was like, Is this like a morning show? Or is it a commercial? What is happening? It was like some weird ass topic. And I was like, Okay, I'm gonna change the station now. I don't know what this is. Very weird. And there was another one and I don't know. I don't think it was when we're in limited. I think it was we were on their way here. Mm hmm. There was it was the same kind of thing where just like somebody's talking, and he was talking about the Boy Scouts, and how the Boy Scouts are like, have a class action lawsuit against them or something, supposedly, and about how, like if you've been molested in the boy scows and then but then he goes on to like a laundry list of things.
And I'm like my son is in the car with me,
sir. Awkward Mr. Radio man as you're talking about rape, like,
Yeah, very weird. And the one yesterday was about cookies and how cookies are evil needs to be careful because they're watching you die laughing so I don't know where I was going with that, but the radio here is messed up. Let's make podcasts.
listen to podcasts. And if you're gonna pick up coffee make sure you're listening to an episode about exorcism so it's super weird for the person. Yes hand in handy New York coffee. Oh, man. Yeah, I so I would agree though. I think that there's so many interesting People that we can talk to. So again, if you're listening and you're like, Hey, I'm interesting, I want to talk about this thing that I'm passionate about. Let us know reach out to us. Again, it doesn't have to be like a highly intellectual topic, we talk about all sorts of crap. So if there's just something that you are passionate about, you know a lot about, you've done a lot of research about, tell us maybe something that we want to talk to talk to you about. Maybe it's model trains, maybe you can convince Meghan that we want to talk about model trains. I don't know.
Now, I just want to do an episode about cookies. I mean, but like the cookies you eat.
We could 100% do the cookies that you eat. I mean, come on, Megan. I'm just hungry. Our food episode was like our first like, hour and a half long episode. sighs true.
So yeah, I look forward to year two of the podcast. And continuing on this adventure with you and seeing seeing where we go from here.
Yeah, it's gonna be full of surprises because we don't even know what we're doing yet.
We're well and we don't know what the world is doing. So I feel like you know, when you're not when you just talk about things that are interesting in the world or in life, that becomes very dependent on the things that are happening in the world. So,
you know, yeah.
Well, well, we'll see what we'll see where the rest of 2020 goes. And if is next year going to be better is next year going to be less weird. Nobody knows.
What a depressing thought, man. Let's talk about joy. I like to like to
end on an upper.
Megan, what's your joy?
So we're staying at this Airbnb while we get all the stuff settled for the house. And so I've stayed with you Airbnb is for work and they vary in quality and beyonds. And I will say this is probably the best one we've ever stayed at. And I've only because of this one reason, which is that they left us a gigantic welcome donut.
It's amazing.
Like they went to the bakery and ordered like a 10 inch donut good cake size donut cake size donut, and then had it like custom decorated with welcome and look at sunflower sunflowers and other flowers and buttercream on it. It is ridiculous. But also so amazing. It's extras fuck is it? Is it good? I forgot to ask if it's like actually good. It's not bad. It's just a glazed doughnut. It's not like flavored anything. So it's like it's Solid a solid glazed donut
please join us are my favorite. My son used
to work so
um, and then they have all these other snacks for us to eat. They laughed like just varieties of like granola bars and like microwave popcorn and there's pushpop things in the freezer and frozen waffles and I was like oh my god I've never seen an Airbnb to gives you food.
Yeah, I've only had that happen I think maybe once the Airbnb that we stayed in when Eden was born had some snacks and stuff that they put out with their little like, welcome to our home. You know, here's all the instructions on how to get into the Wi Fi book and crap like that. There was some little like snacks but with along with like the coffee and tea but not a welcome doughnut.
Yeah, yeah, usually just get coffee and tea. Um, sometimes even tea actually. But usually get like a And then whatever's like left in the fridge yeah they specifically like they specifically in their thing was like any of the food that is here is for you it is all like anything in the freezer like that is for you to know I was like oh my god. Oh, love
it. Yeah no different from like last week a Wednesday.
Yeah, we've seen some creepy ones. Yeah the last one that we stayed in in Wisconsin they were specifically like we left a frozen pizza in the freezer. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. So if you're an Airbnb host and you're listening to this, like,
well, not free but you know, your costs
go to Costco get a big thing of the little bag bags of goldfish and Oreos and put them in a little basket and you will have some happy guests. Let me tell you
yes, my kids were so thrilled they love the donut. They were also like, oh my god snacks like they freaked out and immediately ate snacks. As soon as we arrived, so thrilled that there were these snacks for them and I was like, that's all you need. I do love the snack size bag of almost anything and I'm like,
oh like that? Of course
Sure. Because like $8 in a minibar fridge Yeah, right um yeah so if you're if you're an Airbnb host I would say definitely consider adding snacks to your offerings because you will get a good rating from these two people. Yes,
yes, Auntie for your tea drinkers and tea drinker. Mm hmm.
And if you have ingredients that you can cook with, like spices and stuff, and more than one pan that is also a bonus
you know, hit up IKEA man just yeah, some cheap cookware. Yeah, I have definitely. It's so funny because the Airbnb as I stated have really run the gamut in terms of how well stocked kitchens are some of them. It is literally like a six inch skillet. And that's all there is. Then, like one spatula, and then I've seen others where it's an almost fully stocked kitchen. So it's very funny to me to see the variety there.
Yeah, it is interesting because you would think that
I think you would try to stop it like so people can use it, right? But apparently not everyone thinks of that. So
I guess yeah,
cuz that's half of the bonus to me of staying at Airbnb is that you have a kitchen that you can use. You don't have to eat out for every meal, but
right like, I feel like that's half the point.
Not everyone is as logical as we are again.
Well, especially now to like you don't you can't go to a restaurant right there and eat so Exactly. Anyway, that is bringing me joy and the lovely hosts of our Airbnb, thinking of small things that we would possibly enjoy
good job posts.
What about you
so One of my friends Kathleen actually has we've mentioned before our Harry Potter episode guest, she just got a kitten. Yes, yes. So they have an older cat named Gus. And they just today went and adopted this little black kitten, and they're naming her Minerva and they're gonna call her mini for short. Oh, and she's so cute. And Kathleen was sending me some videos and I love kittens. kittens are great puppies are a pain in the ass. And I love other people's puppies, but I don't I do not ever wish to own a puppy. Because potty training them is such a pain in the dick. But kittens are great, they're mischievious but there's so much fun and they play really hard for like 30 minutes and then they just fall asleep really hard for like two hours and they'll just like curl up on you like under your chin. I love kittens. So she and this is even though Kathleen and her family have had, like they've had two cats before they've gotten them as adults. So she's never had a kitten before. So she was like, What do I need to know about having to kit and I was like that they're so much fun. And they will wear you out and they're mischievious and they will absolutely get into things but she also has an almost two year old daughter. So I was like, but your house is toddler proofed, which means it's already kind of kitten proofed. So
you're good to go.
The main thing with kittens nowadays with is the the front loading washer and dryer situations.
Oh, yes. Yeah, watch out for that. Yes, you got to make sure always check. Always look for the cat. If you have a cat you really should just always check for the cat. If you have washer and dryer that you keep open or anything like that. We we when we went on our honeymoon, my parents had our our two cats and one of which we still have in court has always been kind Have a mischievous little shithead we got her as a kitten. And at one point my mom like couldn't find Cora and she like anywhere. She was panicked. She was like, Oh my god, they've gone to Spain I've lost their cat. And it turns out that my parents the washer and dryer that they had at the time which is the Washington or that we now have has, they have this like they sit up on these like pedestal like drawer things where you can put like towels and stuff. And Cora was going around behind the dryer and climbing into the drawer underneath and like sleeping and the towels and then she was pushing the door open to get out because my mom kept finding the like open drawer. And then she's like, why is this just open and then she like caught Cora like opening the drawer to let herself out of
the like dryer towel drawer.
I know I was like oh my god so
you know if you've never had cats before they're wonderful and so much fun but also they find the weirdest places to sleep and you're like oh my god I've lost the cat the cats escaped they're out of the house they're probably not they are probably just in your house somewhere in a place that you never would have expected to look for them so
that's our accounts used to sleep the wid you know, like the box springs have like that very thin. Yes layer of whatever that is. Yes. Supposedly protecting it. Yes. Our cats used to. They would I guess there was a hole at some point and so they would crawl up in there and like sleep on that sagging? Yes piece of fabric of the boxspring you'd always be like where the cow is and she's under the bed again.
Yeah, I know a lot of I know a lot of people that end up with like, cats that do that like under their couch. Like if there's a hole that they sleep like under the couch. You only find them because there's like one foot hanging
Anyway, so my friend had her new kitten adventures are is definitely gonna see me I know my cats
when they are kittens rune used to sleep like he would sleep right on my under my neck or on my neck under my chin. And then the other one would sleep on my hair. Oh, make a little nest of my hair, which was not great, but it was so cute. It's so
cute that you can even like you're like, I can't disturb you because you're so peaceful. Yeah, this is a piece of the cat that's in the box now. Their cat passed away not too long ago. And yesterday, last night at dinner, Megan and her family came over for dinner. And we said something about the cats and I said something about how Casey was real character. And Max just stoic as always goes And now he's in a box.
He's not wrong. He's in a box.
Who's gonna pee my pants laughing
that we have to like explain to Alex, what was going on because he was like, What was he talking about? Looks like their cat passed away and now he's in a box.
It just makes me excited for the next dinner because it's so every dinner that we've had so far Mike's bust out with something hilarious. And last time it was about his hair.
Yes, he wanted to show why Alex was wearing a winter hat in source in the summer because he's wearing like a beanie.
I'm really excited for the next dinner and what he could possibly say
yes, it's Yeah, cuz every dinner like Alex and Reese like bond over something that Reese is interested in and Alex like, carries on a whole conversation with him about it and then max busts out with So, something just peed your pants funny. So,
you know the problem is though, is that you guys have introduced this whole like tasting situation at your house.
Oh, it's true,
because the first time it was with the hot sauces and then last night, it was with the candy.
So like, yeah, we have our collection of old people candy from farm to face.
So now every time they're gonna go over, they're gonna expect like a variety assortment of something to take down.
My kids are little shits, because they're like, Oh, do you have dessert?
Because we had dessert the first time Alex like Doug, but also he asked for
it the first time to like true.
He is a very uncouth guest I apologize.
It's okay. It's okay. Alex is kind of a pushover when it comes to food things like we should it we shouldn't tell them that they're going to expect tasty and things because he might actually be like what tasting things can I come up with
so have a B vegetables.
Please, please, Dear God, let it be vegetables
somehow trick them into vegetables. Funny
well, so next week we are going to revisit our finances and this time we're going to talk about investing.
So if you're wondering what the difference is between the types of retirement accounts or what the heck an index fund is, love me. Join us next week to find out until then, leave us a review on Apple podcasts and listen to us on your favorite platform. You can also follow us on social media at IRS AI podcast or send us an email I'd rather stay in podcasts@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from our listeners.
What's bringing us joy?
What a depressing thought, man. Let's talk about joy.
I like to like to end on an upper.
So like, yeah, we have our collection of old people candy from farm and fleet.
Next week's episode
So if you're wondering what the difference is between the types of retirement accounts or what the heck an index fund is, love me.

Keratinophyton durum is a keratinophilic fungus, that grows on keratin found in decomposing or shed animal hair and bird feathers. Various studies conducted in Canada, Japan, India, Spain, Poland, Ivory Coast and Iraq have isolated this fungus from decomposing animal hair and bird feathers using SDA and hair-bait technique. Presence of fungus in soil sediments and their ability to decompose hairs make them a potential human pathogen.

History and taxonomy
Keratinophyton durum was first described by Hugo Zukal in 1890 as Gymnoascus durus, and subsequently has been the subject of taxonomic confusion. Nearly 100 years after Zukal's description, Currah transferred the fungus from genus Gymnoascus  to Keratinophyton (1985) and eventually to genus Aphanoascus (1986) due to similarity in their ascospores. At the same time, Guého and Vroey treated the fungus under the name, Anixiopsis biplanata (1986). The genera Aphanoascus and Anixiopsis have ascospores of similar appearance. This led to a debate within the mycological community upon its naming, wherein some mycologists used Anixiopsis biplanata and others used Aphanoascus durus to describe this species. Amidst this debate, the fungus was misclassified under the genus Ascocalvatia by von Arx in 1986. Ascocalvatia has cylindrical ascospores whereas Aphanoascus spores are flat and circular (oblate) in shape. Finally, in 1990 it was re-classified as Aphanoascus durus by Cano and Guarro. The name Keratinophyton durum was originally applied to the sexual state of the fungus (teleomorph), but now is used to include all life stages. The correct name for this species is K. durum.

Genomic information
Listed below are identified gene sequences for this fungus.

Morphology and growth
Ascospores found within the ascoma, are oblate (shaped like an M&M candy) and yellow-yellowish brown in color when observed in transmitted light microscopy. Typically, the lateral sides of these ascospores are smooth with a bumpy, pitted equatorial edge. Ascospores of this fungus are similar in appearance (morphology) to those of A. terreus by Apnis (Cano & Guarro, Randhawa & Sandhu) A. clathratus  and A. hispanicus by Cano & Guarro. Ascospores of A. terreus and A. hispanicus are small, pitted and diamond-shaped (rhomboid), whereas A. clathratus has circular (oblate) ascospores with reduced pitting. Ascomata are spherical (globose) to oval (subglobose), pale yellowish brown to dark reddish brown in color, and range from 280–800 µm in diameter. Ascomata are encased in white aerial hyphae and conidia.

In laboratory, this fungus can be grown on 2% malt agar, potato-carrot agar (PCA), phytone yeast extract agar (PYE) and yeast-starch agar (YpSs) growth mediums. On 2% malt agar, post 2-week incubation, K.durum colonies reach up to 35–40 mm in diameter. Colonies appear fluffy and white but have uneven growth. Mostly thinly spread colonies are denser at the centre and can reach 2 mm in height. Hyphae are usually branched, hyaline, smooth-walled and septate. Colonies also contain aleurioconidia. On potato-carrot agar (PCA), rapid growth is observed at 25 °C. Within 14 days of PCA culturing, circular colonies measuring 53–67 mm in diameter can be seen. Initial colonies appear white, but later on change their color and appear greenish grey. In this growth media, resulting ascomata are scattered and there is limited production of conidia. On phytone yeast extract agar (PYE), fungus grows rapidly into white-yellowish white colonies. While conidiogenesis is prominent, ascomata are not produced. On YpSs growth medium, under dark conditions and 28 °C, it grows at the rate of 2–3 mm per day. Cream-coloured colonies with smooth, septate, hyaline hyphae can be observed. Hyphae are thin-walled and wide, measuring 1.7–2.5 µm in width. Ascoma maturation can be observed in 20–23 days. Acomata are encased in round, dark-brown aerial mycelium measuring 500–1050 µm in diameter.

Additionally, the fungus can be isolated using hair-baiting technique and followed by incubation on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA). Isolation using Sabouraud's dextrose agar supplemented with (50 mg/L) chloramphenicol and cycloheximide (500 mg/L), requires 5–10 day, room temperature incubation. Similarly, hair baiting technique involving sterile human or horse hair can also be used to isolate this fungus from wet soils (rivers and lakes). Pocket-like surface erosion in human hair caused by this fungus can be observed under a light microscope following staining with lactophenol cotton blue.

Habitat and ecology
Typically, it has been isolated from depth of 3–5 cm in soils containing decomposing feather and animal hair. K. durum is known from soils of Gir Forest National Park (India), Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Kaziranga national park, Lonar crater lake as well as Shatt Al-Arab river (Iraq). In terrestrial ecosystems, this fungus is predominantly found areas where there is increased animal and bird densities. In underwater sediments, it prefers alkaline pH conditions. A study conducted in Shatt Al-Arab river by Abdullah and Hassan, demonstrated that the soil pH range for this fungi is 6.9. It is also found in Lonar lake sediments where water is highly alkaline (pH of 10.5–11.2) with increased concentrations of sodium chloride, fluorides and bicarbonates.

Pathogenicity
In their study, Deskhmukh & Verekar determined that it releases keratin at the rate of 234.6 µg/ml and is capable of decomposing 26.4% of human hair within four weeks of incubation. Since this fungus occurs in close proximity of animals and birds, it may be pathogenic to animal and humans.

Amanda Richardson was born in Cornwall in 1957 and has lived there for much of her life. She left to take her degree at Goldsmiths College, London University, but her work is essentially involved with wild places and so she was drawn back to her county.
In 1986 she left Cornwall to spend ten years on San Juan Island in the Pacific Northwest of America, working from the dramatic landscapes of islands, mountains and water. Further travels have taken her north to Alaska and south as far as New Zealand.
Her work reflects a particular fascination with plants as they grow in their native environment, and rocks shaped by wind and water. Both birds and insects are included in her work as they are an integral part of her wild garden, itself a part of her working process.
Throughout her career Amanda Richardson has shown in galleries and worked to commission. Her work varies in scale from pieces suited to domestic interiors to works on a grand scale for public buildings. The first major commission was in 1979 in conjunction with the Royal School of Needlework. This was an embroidered fabric collage 9' x 7' to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Bath family at Longleat House. American clients include Boeing, Universities of Alaska and Washington State, BASF, Waldorf Astoria, Marriott Hotels, Hilton Hotels.
Amanda has had one-man exhibitions across America from New York to California as well as maintaining long-standing relationships with galleries with which she shows on an ongoing basis. This is also true of Britain where her art can also be seen in her working studio in the Penberth Valley, surrounded by the exuberance of her garden that provides much of the inspiration for her art.

Dengue Dengue Dengue, Branko and Matias Aguayo Meet Afro-Peruvian Royalty In New Documentary
By Néstor David Pastor 28 July, 2017
This week, the Red Bull Music Academy released an 18-minute documentary short entitled, Afro-Peruvian Beats. Directed by Peruvian film-maker Tito Cabellos (Hija de la Laguna), the film is set in El Carmen, a town in the Chincha province that is described as the capital of Peru's afrodescendiente population.
There, the Ballumbrosio family carries on the musical traditions passed down by Amador Ballumbrosio, a legendary figure in Afro-Peruvian music who died in 2009. Amador, affectionately known as Champita, is credited with rescuing many of the nearly forgotten Afro-Peruvian traditions and teaching them to the younger generations.
His son Miguel is one of seven members of the Ballumbrosio family to appear in the film. Together, they introduce many of the traditional Afro-Peruvian instruments (cajón, quijada, etc.), and traditional rhythms and dances, including their version of zapateo, or stamp dancing.
At one point, Miguel stands on a plot of land where the Centro Cultural de Amador Ballumbrosio (the Amador Ballumbrosio Cultural Center) will someday be erected. For now, however, it is the Ballumbrosio home that is considered an unofficial hub for traditional Afro-Peruvian music, with visitors coming from around the world, a pilgrimage of sorts as Miguel explains.
The overall purpose of the film is to document the collaboration between the Ballumbrosio family and several electronic music producers. Matías Aguayo (Chile), Branko (Portugal), and Dengue Dengue Dengue! (Felipe Salmón and Rafael Pereira, Perú) arrive in El Carmen just in time for Carnival Negro, the largest black cultural event in Peru. Later, they each talk a little about their approach to music production, as well as address the challenges of incorporating traditional sounds into their music.
In the end, it is fusion, according to Miguel, that is the best way of preserving Afro-Peruvian culture."It is a way of arriving at new openings," he says. Check out the full documentary streaming below:

Eyes in the Sky: Different Satellites Orbiting the Earth
Omkar Phatak Apr 17, 2019
What are the different types of satellites? How many of them are in orbit? Read to find all the answers.
One of the prime factors which boosted telecommunication technology, was the launch of artificial satellites in orbit around the Earth. These silent sentinels keep orbiting the Earth, aiding the transmission of signals and performing hundreds of other tasks like remote sensing and provision of meteorological data.
A network of satellites is the backbone of modern GPS navigation systems, that enable the usage of tracking devices.
How Do Satellites Work?
Any object in a steady orbit around the Earth is a satellite. Man-made ones, placed in orbit around the Earth, through the use of special launch rockets, are called artificial satellites, as opposed to the Moon, which is a natural one.
Using precise calculations made by scientists, a satellite is launched to a certain altitude by a rocket and then put in the orbit. Sputnik, launched in 1957, was the first ever man-made satellite to successfully orbit the Earth.
The calculations of altitude and the velocity imparted to the satellite are such, that it never falls down and continues to revolve around the Earth like the Moon. They are equipped with solar panels (for power) and transponders, as well as a mini-computers, that manage all their functions.
Their Total Number
It has been more than 50 years since the launch of the first satellite and by now, more than 50 countries have launched their own. The current number of those in orbit around the Earth is so high, that in coming years, a traffic jam of sorts may occur in space.
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) reports that there are 4857 satellites currently orbitting the Earth. They serve various purposes and move in orbits of varying shapes and altitudes.
Different Types
There are various ways in which satellites may be classified. One way is to classify them according to the kind of orbit they are in (like those in geosynchronous orbit, which have a low altitude and revolution rate, matching with that of the Earth) or the function that they serve.
We choose the latter type of classification. Here are the prime types:
Weather: They provide us with detailed photographs of the Earth's surface, which enable weather prediction. They can track all the weather changes on Earth.
Astronomical: These are orbiting telescopes like Hubble, that observer distant astronomical objects.
Communications: These enable communication between different points on Earth, providing TV, GPS, and satellite phone technology. They are generally placed in low-earth or geosynchronous orbits.
Earth observation: These satellites are designed for a unique purpose like study of oceans, minerals, or for pure scientific research.
Space Stations: These are designed to be stations in space where astronauts can actually live and future missions can be launched. The one and the only example just now is the International Space Station (ISS).
Anti-Missile/Spy: These satellites are launched for defense purposes and can intercept missile attacks and activate protection for the same, by launching missile shields. Some are used for spying on enemy activity across borders.
It is due to these different types, that rapid sharing of information at the speed of light is made possible.
Everything from cable TV, your car GPS, meteorological forecasts, defense-related monitoring, and even the Google Earth data you see on your screen is made available by satellites, which are incessantly orbiting the Earth. Thanks to our eyes in the sky, reaching out to any corner of the world, is easily possible.


Isn't it just typical any other nation that hosts the games improves its medal attempts in fact a lot of athletes over achieve but it seems not Britain 3 good medal chances on day one all went awol badly and it seems like day 2 as started in the same way.
great ent it, what's the words "flatter to deceive!!"......could be the pressure of the home fans,we wait more in hope than expectation!!
all we need is that first medal..... come on the lass,s in the swiming.


This meeting was different. We were holding CASS Toastmasters International Speech and Evaluation Contest.
Each year, every Toastmaster can take part in International Speech and Evaluation Contest. The contest at our club was to decide who will represent CASS Toastmasters in the next stage and, hopefully, even further.
The contest was divided into two parts – Evaluation Contest and Speech Contest.
First on agenda was the Evaluation Contest. Each contestant listened to a speech given a mysterious speaker which then they had to evaluate. Dan from Croydon Communicators club gave a speech titled "42 million" in which he explained how much our lives can change in just one minute.
When Dan finished his speech, the competitors left the room to prepare their evaluations. Then Helen, Matt, Ned and Tom were called one by one to evaluate Dan's speech.
Between the competitions, Sayara gave a presentation of Pathways – the new system Toastmaster Internation is rolling out right now to track each members progress and help them on their Toastmasters journey.
After the presentation, we entered the second part of the contest – Speech Contest. Three speakers competed for the best speech and for the honour to represent the club in the next stage.
First was Moez with a speech titled "Road Rage 2.0". Moez told us the story how one day he got annoyed on everyone on the road.
Next was Robert with "How to stay focused" speech, in which Robert told us how to stay on course with our goal and not to get distracted on the way.
The last speaker was Conrad and his "I'm a maker" speech, telling us how to become a maker and how does the world change if you become one.
The judges left the room to debate, count points and pick the winners, while we inside the room had a little interview with the contestants and a very short Table Topics session.
Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who participated in the contest!
We would like to say thank you to our guests and judges without which the contest would not take place.

ThumbCoast liquor license may shift to Times Herald building
The Thumbcoast Brewing Company liquor license is being transferred to "The Press Room LLC."
ThumbCoast liquor license may shift to Times Herald building The Thumbcoast Brewing Company liquor license is being transferred to "The Press Room LLC." Check out this story on thetimesherald.com: http://bwne.ws/2b4kxyd

The Press Room LLC is listed under Mark Walker's name, the board chairman of Michigan Mutual. The license is slated to transfer to the Times Herald building that Michigan Mutual now owns at 911 Military St., Port Huron, according to records from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
"We don't have any plans for it right now, but thought it would be a good idea to purchase the liquor license in case we ever needed it in that building," Walker said. "We just didn't want to lose a liquor license in the Port Huron area."
Walker said the license will be put in escrow until it is needed.
The Michigan Mutual mortgage company purchased the building in March 2014 for $950,000, according to county records. The company has been working to remodel the building before moving its employees into the about 20,000-square-foot space on the first floor.
Michigan Mutual will move about 70 employees into the space in the first quarter of 2017. Within a year, Walker hopes that about 100 employees will be working there. The Times Herald will continue to lease space on the second floor for its editorial and advertising staffs.
THE TIMES HERALD
ThumbCoast applies for liquor license in Imlay City
Walker said so far the building has been gutted, the electrical and boiler systems have been updated, and windows have been replaced. Designers are working on the interior layout. Once the design is complete, crews will finish the interior of the building.

But with both companies slated to operate at the north end of the building, that leaves about 15,000 square feet vacant, which includes the old Times Herald press room.
Walker said there currently are no plans to develop the former press room.
Walker said he wanted to grab the liquor license while it was available.
City OKs Thumbcoast beer distribution license
Walker said the liquor license will be available for anyone who needs it whether they plan to develop an eatery in the former press room or at another location in the city.
Walker said ThumbCoast no longer needs the Class C liquor license because the brewery is working on distributing their beer statewide. The brewery is not allowed to have both a beer manufacturing and distribution license and an on-premises liquor license at the same time. This means ThumbCoast will not be allowed serve liquor, wine or outside beer at its brewing locations.
In early June, ThumbCoast Brewing Company owner, Dennis Doyle, was approved for a liquor license for a micro-brewer, small wine maker and small distiller for a vacant building at 585 S. Cedar St., in Imlay City.
Thumbcoast Brewing expanding production
Walker said the license transfer to The Press Room is not yet official, though.
"We are in the middle of the process of getting it approved by the state," Walker said. "We just got finger prints and now they are doing background checks on us before they can move forward."
Doyle declined to comment.

The Bachelor Preview: Is Ben Higgins Jason Mesnick 2.0?
By Author Free Britney at Feb 09, 2016 • Category Ben Higgins
An extended preview for The Bachelor last night hints at Ben Higgins following an absolutely stunning pattern from years past.
One that the star could ask Jason Mesnick about.
If you read The Bachelor spoilers, well, you know how this season supposedly turns out, but many blanks must still be filled in.
The latest promo could be the handiwork of a master editing team (okay, it definitely is that), or a hint of crazy drama to come.
Maybe a little of both? We'll have to wait and see.
It sure looks like that when Ben gets down to two bachelorettes, however, he sends one home, then changes his mind at the last minute.
Ben is in love with two women, we're told … no doubt as misdirection to combat the widely accepted notion that Lauren Bushnell wins.
"I love both of them," Ben says in the promo, pretending to look distraught. "They're too good to walk away from, and I just don't know."
"I have to say goodbye to a woman that doesn't deserve it."
"It doesn't feel right. This is the biggest mistake I've made and I want to keep her in my life … I don't want to say goodbye."
"'Cause that's how much I love her."
Meanwhile, when Ben's about to propose to the other girl – or so it appears – he's losing his mind thinking about the first one he cut loose.
No, for reals! Ben says: "I'm about to get on one knee and ask a woman to marry me, unfortunately I just love somebody else more."
Jason Mesnick, of course, chose Melissa Rycroft with his final rose, only to pull a 180 after the cameras stopped rolling and break up.
On the After the Final Rose special, he asked out runner-up Molly Malaney … who he went on to marry. Pretty incredible, to be honest.
It doesn't sound like Ben is ready to copy that strategy exactly, but he does look like he's in the throes of similar, emotional indecision.
"There was a time when I couldn't imagine saying goodbye to you, but I know that I'm always going to miss you," Ben tells one woman.
Damn. This is either brilliantly choreographed or it's going to be intense, but rest assured, he feels good about how it turns out.
"And now I'm going to ask a woman to love me for the rest of her life, cause I'm ready, I'm really ready," quoth The Bachelor.
Oh, and it looks like Kaitlyn Bristowe may be making a cameo. We can only hope there's a Snapchat video involved. Peep it:

Geospace Dynamics Constellation: Exploring the Heart of Space Weather
The Geospace Dynamics Constellation mission - or GDC - is a team of satellites that will study Earth's upper atmosphere and provide the first direct global measurements of our planet's dynamic and complex interface with the space environment. This boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space is called the ionosphere-thermosphere (I-T) system.
This mission will change our understanding of the structure and behavior of the I-T, specifically how it responds to energy input from the Sun and space environment above and the lower atmosphere below, and how it internally redistributes this energy on a global basis. The processes and dynamics active in this region are involved in many of the space weather effects we experience on Earth, such as disrupted communications and navigation signals, satellite orbit disruptions, and certain triggered power outages.
Using an array of sensors on each spacecraft, working together to gather comprehensive observations, GDC will explore the fundamental physics of this region, which is driven on all scales from minutes to years by a variety of external factors. The level of detail and resolution provided by this mission will give us an unprecedented understanding of the space environment surrounding our home planet and will grant us new insights into the fundamental dynamics of planetary atmospheres within the solar system and beyond.
GDC will also provide the first opportunity to study I-T physics on a range of scales from small (similar to thunderstorms), medium (similar to hurricanes), to global scales (similar to jet streams, polar vortices, etc.). The new and comprehensive measurements GDC will provide are critically needed to increase our understanding of the upper atmosphere and to understand this region as both a collection of distinct parts and a system that acts and reacts as a whole. Ultimately, GDC's science investigation will lead to improvements in our ability to specify and forecast space weather effects on a global basis.
The GDC mission is currently in formulation and NASA has started assembling the GDC science team with the selection of three GDC Interdisciplinary Scientists: Dr. Rebecca Bishop (The Aerospace Corporation), Professor Yue Deng (University of Texas, Arlington), and Professor Jeffrey Thayer (University of Colorado, Boulder). Each leads teams that will bring their own unique capabilities and contributions to the mission. In early 2022, NASA will select the rest of the science team and the instruments that will fly on the GDC spacecraft.
