I am quite new with the ultimaker 2, I had it for 2 months now. I do have a lot of experience with the makerbot thing-o-matic.
Ok, so my teflon spacer scored from the inside and is brown from burning in the hot end. I did print with the provided PLA roll at first but switched to ABS right after that and printed some ninja flex in between.
My hot end was at 240 celsius and I use the Robert's feeder since the original one wasn't up to the task with ninja flex.
Everything was fine for a while, really didn't have any major problems, but then with retraction, the hot end would jam up.. So there are some deep grooves and scoring marks in the teflon part.
I submitted a ticket, and ultimaker replied quite fast.. I don't know yet if they will send me a replacement teflon spacer, but I believe I will have more problems with it in the end..
SO, I was wondering if someone made a ceramic replacement Spacer? I was going to try and make one, but machining ceramic on the cheap is going to be quite challenging I fear!
I know there is the e3d all metal hot end, from my quick search on the forums, it looks like it would be a great replacement .. However, I do feel a bit foolish to have put all that money in a printer and change everything after 2 months!
Ultimaker provides some glass fiber reinforced teflon spacers. A few thoughts; Ceramics will change the entire heat flow in the nozzle and most likely also increase friction.
I don't have experience on ceramic replacement, but I have seen Ultimaker employees writing that PLA sticks to ceramic materials _very_ efficiently. Besides friction, I would be concerned about tightness of the fit between (ceramic) isolator and the actual nozzle unit. As PTFE is slightly elastic, it makes a tight fit with the nozzle unit.
It helped a lot. As I have also built a closed chamber for my UM2, my need for cooling the PTFE isolator was accented.
Stainless steel would be good as it's not very heat conductive.
UM has a "new" glass infused teflon isolator but if you got the printer less than 3 months ago (you said 2 months) then I suspect you might already have it.
There is a spring pushing on that isolator from the top - very obvious when you look at it. You can reduce deformation by reducing the pressure of that spring by lowering the nozzle as low as you can. That's all I got.
I usually print at 220C and the isolator withstands 220C MUCH better than 240C.
This is impressive! I will add more airflow to the isolator as well, I'm sure it will help, since I also print mainly in ABS.
I do have a recent printer, I'm not sure how to identify that my teflon part is the new material or not, but it's all brown and scored inside.. I'm not sure what happened exactly, maybe it did sit down a long time while heating the heatbed with the head at operating temperature.. I will probably need to preheat the head bed first, but in the end, I feel that the teflon part must go and be replaced with something better. I'm open to new materials!
One thing is sure, I'm going to add airflow to this part!
I have one of the first versions of the U2, and I have been having issues with printing under extrusion. I so far have been able to correct this by simply printing a bit slower. I was meaning to order a new one and or call ultimaker to have one shipped.
One issue with the PTFE is its compressive and tensile strength, especially near heat.
I have access to a lot of scrap peek, so I decided to create a PEEK replacement.
Thermal expansion is approx 1/3 lower for Peek.
The machine ability of PEEK is better than PTFE and it is easier to have a smoother polished surface.
With the constant movement of the filament wire through the PTFE the higher strength PEEK should maintain its structure better than the PTFE allowing it to avoid possible friction issues.
I conducted the flow test cyclinder to 10mm3/s and noticed an improvement of two levels. I was able to complete the cyclinder with the new PEEK spacer.
Ultimaker support sent me a new spacer, very efficient customer support! I will buy ESC fans and try to increase airflow and also reduce spring pressure. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm actually on a mission to see if i can get one made from WC(tungsten carbide). It is one of the least heat conductive metals on the planet and as you may know, it is virtually indestructible as they can even cut diamonds with it.
Only problem is to find a milling company that can actually mill it.
Update, I wanted to see if I could fix the PTFE design.
I acquired some high quality PTFE bar stock (we have as leftovers at work). I made some small changes to the design of the original spacer.
Added a 0.5 mm chamfer to the opening to allow for easier entrance and for retraction, also increased the hole size to 3.97. Rounded the exit area slightly. I tested this first had no issues.noticed a drastic improvement similar to my peek one.
After this test I modified the original PTFE part to match; instant improvement also.
With the bigger hole, wouldn't your filament hit the metal hot end flat part when retracting too far and going back in the metal tip from the PTFE spacer ? I do understand tho that the filament would be thinner at the tip, thus it might be "self-centering" ..
I received a diamond blade I ordered. I will improvise and try to machine a ceramic rod in a spacer. I will try with a larger hole, as you did, maybe this will prevent the PLA from glueing to the ceramic spacer.. Or else, I will try to create a spacer in which the PTFE spacer will sit..
If I can find the barstock of peek that was laying around it would be easier. Currently I have to create the bar using an irregular shaped piece of scrap. It takes a long time to cut it down to round. Otherwise I wouldnt have an issue with sending you one.
PEEK isn't a great choice, we tested that with PLA and it jammed within an hour.
I think adding the chamfer at the bottom is not such a good idea, during a print it might help but when it cools down it will create a lip on the pla which will cause it to jam.
here at HQ we tested with ceramic but the pla just stuck to the inside walls and after cooling down we had no luck of getting it started again.
and then this one to measure the amount of force needed to just push it through the nozzle.
If you mean at the bottom of the ptfe It isnt a chamber, it is rounding the edge. as it is currently a sharp edge. I basically broke the edge slightly to avoid the small burr (possibly not even seen by the eye) that is created from machining. I modeled the round just for reference. The round actually improved material removal as there isnt a straight edge to grab. I tested all options and this was the best in printing flow, no issues with removal on really any of the designs.
This as you say is the reason is why I created a few variances. One had a chamfer, it worked but there wasnt much of a difference compared to the straight 90, the second was just an edge 90 similar to the current Ultimaker design, and the third was just breaking the edge slightly with a small roundish profile to remove the 90 point. If you look you may not even notice that there is a round, basically smoothing out any sharpness.
The thought is, that at higher temperatures there is a visible deformation of the PTFE. This deformation can cause a narrowing profile from the compression on the bottom edge. This narrowing is due to it is the only place the material can "flow". The round profile at temp and pressure from the spring should be virtually non present and would absorb any deformation from the pressure. Or at least that is my theory .
Tests ive done on other products but similar materials.
I printed with it for around 20 hrs made a large model for work overnight with it. It kept going strong no issues. I switched to a ptfe part since I had nice bar stock and I wanted to conduct some testing. I was able to create a higher precision part with my ptfe stock part compared to my irregular peek stock I have.
The main benefit of the PTFE is a reduced friction coefficient, but I am able to create a much smoother machined surface with Peek compared to the PTFE. I also noticed vast improvements when I opened up the hole by 0,4mm. I am currently testing on 3.00mm +/- 0.1. It has been running now for 5 hrs no issues very good quality with the updated PTFE part.
Does the carpet match the drapes?
Does anyone know how far up the teflon hole the PLA/ABS is still molten? I know from experience that if the head overheats then it melts right up to the bowden tube (and makes a lip there). But what about normally?
I'm wondering if a wider bore would reduce the pressure, provide a larger reservoir, reduce underextrusion issues.
OTOH, the larger the diameter of the molten end, the more likely there will be problems removing filament for material changes?
I am currently trying a little hack I made to the hotend..
I cut off a portion of the PFTE white spacer and reversed it, put it on the top aluminum plate, I then inserted the PFTE red tube that came with my thing-o-matic MK6 head in the white spacer and cut it so it's flush with the hotend.
It seems to work pretty well for now, I didn't do any exhaustive printing with it yet, but at least it works and retraction works too!
The red PTFE tube of the thing-o-matic is more slippery and seems more durable than the PTFE white spacer of ultimaker.. I don't know why tho.. But it served me well in my TOM and it endured 3 years of non-stop printing..
Ok it looks like it didn't work..
At 240 it didn't work, at 260 it does work, and it does print VERY GOOD!
Ok I might trigger the gun too fast here, but the ultimaker robot passed the retraction layers and it's the most beautiful I printed as of yet; and it's printed in ABS..
** Best robot I have to date while printing ABS. I guess 260 degrees helped a lot to reduce the forces needed to push the filament and retract.
260c... Maxed out. You are reducing friction with heat, yes but there are other material issues!. This temperature is where the ptfe will start to break down. This may make things worse over time.
Since you cut it. Maybe Try re drilling out the hole slightly making sure it is clean inside and all edges are smooth. Slide the filament before and after, you should notice a drastic improvement with friction.
Have you modified the feeder yet?
Print Irobertls feeder it allows you to Better adjust the pressure on the filament. Make sure you make all the parts where the filament can touch smooth. also ensure your Bowden tube is secure and not moving with the retraction.

Skirt is raising the steaks and is now more than what you'd expect of a regular steakhouse. Using the season's best produce, Skirt is now serving a new menu of modern European cuisine with a distinct Asian overtone.
To prove that it's not just a steakhouse, the first appetizer we had was a Sri Lankan Crab and Caviar with Shellfish bisque and Lemongrass ($32). The cold sweet crab contrasted with the warm umami bisque, which reminds me very much of Thai food, probably due to the aromatics used in the dish.
Another Asian tasting appetizer was the Marinated Raw Beef with Crispy Rice and Chipotle dressing ($28) which is only available for lunch (Skirt is now open for lunch on Saturday and they serve a bistro style menu). If you like your pungent onion, this spiced beef dish will hit the spot. Me.. well i'm more of a regular beef tartare girl.
There are other slight twists to the typical steakhouse appetizers, like the Oven Roasted Bone Marrow ($45) which was stuffed with escargot and Café de Skirt Butter. I'm not a fan of bone marrow since there's absolutely no flavor in them are is always very oily. What worked here is garlic butter that flavors the escargot and the bone marrow at the same time. Fresh sourdough is served with this to help you mop up all that mess.
Sweetbread vs Sweet Bread. Which will you go for? If you got that mixed up, well, you may think that the sweetbread in the Veal Sweetbread and Foie Gras ($45) is a doughy fried carb. Well, brain and pancreas do have that kind texture. I much preferred the pan seared foie gras which was buttery. The richness of the offals is cut by the tangy red wine jus but the mushrooms kinda soaked up all that oil. Definitely not a dish for the faint-hearted. Literally and figuratively.
Of course, what's a steakhouse without a proper steak! We had the Chef's special, a Grilled Cape Grim Sirloin with celeriac foam, truffle and artichoke caviar. I had mine medium-rare and it was perfect. A similar cut is the Black Market Sirloin ($82) which is on the menu.
To accompany the meat, i'd definitely order the Baby Beets and Blunts with Labneh ($21) because it's cold and refreshing with a lemony burst.
Eat your greens! The Broccoli Rabe ($11) was buttery and salty but still provided the dose of fibre.
For carbs, i'm likely to go with the Lobster Mac & Cheese ($19) instead of the layered Duck Fat Potatoes ($15) because who can resist gooey cheese! There are some chunks of lobster that required some poking around to find. Share this with company as it's unlikely one can stomach the whole plate, even though the cheese wasn't that rich.
Dessert was a surprise to us and despite all that food, we all made space for the Banana and Pistachio Pizza ($18) with vanilla bean ice cream. YES WE EACH HAD ONE. Gosh that thin crispy filo pastry base was amazing and when the ice cream melts on it, it turned a little soft and chewy. Plus the pistachio fragrance was amazing.
Some hits and misses at Skirt but the steaks are still great, and there are alternatives for non cow-eating creatures, and boy you MUST have their desserts.

From: Commandeer, U.S.Naval Forces operating in European Waters.
Subject: Submarine versus Destroyer Construction.
Although there are a considerable number of allied submarines operating offensively against enemy submarines, and although these operations have been attended with considerable success, there is nothing thus far to warrant speeding up the construction of our submarines at the expense of destroyer construction. Everything indicates that the destroyer is the one type that is most effective for the many duties to be carried out in submarine waters. There will always be great difficulty in getting suitable recognition signals for submarines, with the result that each submarine must be given a large area in which to operate, so as to make certain that all submarines encountered in this area will be enemy submarines. It is primarily for this reason that a larger number of submarines have not been placed in anti-submarine work.
With more experience there is no doubt that the area now assigned to each submarine can be reduced, permitting a larger number of submarines to operate. Further experience may show greater successes and warrant a larger extension of this type of offence. However, the crying need of the moment is for more destroyers, and every effort should be made to concentrate the work on these vessels. I assume that our submarines are going along so as to keep up with the demand on this side.
More submarines can be used in European waters, and I assume that as new ones become available they will be sent over. But the pressing need is for destroyers.


My new bite-sized series, A Moveable Feast, will feature anecdotes and lessons learned from my favorite Spanish foods. The first features pan con tomate, which is as delicious as it is simple to prepare.
Why couldn't life be as simple as pan con tomate? The bread popped out of the toaster, causing me to jump in surprise out of my reverie. I sighed at my jitteriness and picked the remaining skin off the clove of garlic. I rubbed the garlic across the rough toasted surface of the bread that I had carried under my arm from the bakery earlier that day. The garlic shredded and melted into the crispy dough, filling my nostrils with its comforting smell.
Cooked garlic always reminded me of home. Having an Italian-American mom will do that to you. The whole process of preparing pan con tomate was always soothing for me: familiar, simple ingredients and a no-brainer process allowed me to mull over my latest thoughts as I prepared the snack.
I only prepared pan con tomate when I truly felt at home. I had spent months living in the house of strangers, parents who decided that they wanted the benefit of a live-in English-speaking person. I was a guest, but I had to earn my keep; I had a full-time job as an English teacher yet had to play babysitter when I got home; I didn't fit in with the adults, but was lumped with the young children; I was part of the family, but I was also "the help." I felt like I was constantly walking on tiptoes. I only prepared pan con tomate when I felt at home enough to raid someone's refrigerator, and that was at the home of the Garcia family, whose children I babysat twice a week. They always had tomatoes: one type of tomato for cooking, firmer tomatoes for salads, and usually a half-started tomato for pan con tomate.
Pan con tomate was one of the few ways a person could convince me to eat raw tomato; one firm, ripe tomato would last a week as I squeezed every bit of juice down to the rind. I cut the new tomato in half and rubbed the juicy insides over the top of the bread. A final glug of good olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt were the finishing touches.
Sometimes the simplest things were the best. It was a gentle reminder when I missed the comforts of home. I was okay. I had all the right ingredients. I just had to put them all together.
And months later, when the Garcia family got a beautiful new flat, they showed me around through doors and hallways.
There would be plenty of pan con tomate in our future.

As summer approaches, it is inevitable to start thinking about summer holidays. Often the journey of dreams is considered too expensive and so we give up, without perhaps thinking that a holiday loan can be the best solution to leave thanks to a loan.
The holiday loans allow you to easily deal with all the expenses necessary to enjoy a trip or vacation, paying, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses, also any excursions, travel, services that are used during the holiday, purchases made on the spot and ancillary expenses, without having to justify in any way the expenses made to the lender.
The holiday loan can be applied to both banks and financial institutions and, in general, there is no need to be in possession of specific requirements, given the usually reduced amounts that are paid: it is necessary to show that you have a certain income and demonstrate the adequate financial reliability of the applicant, who undertakes to repay the debt in monthly installments over a period of time ranging from a few months to several years, depending on the availability and monthly income of the applicant.
Let's start by saying that a holiday loan can cover up to 100 percent of the trip or holiday, with disbursed figures that vary depending on the bank or credit institution you request.
The amount granted for this type of personal loan is on average less than 10,000 euros, but in some cases it can even reach 30,000 euros, which can be repaid over a period of time ranging from 12 months up to 10 years through constant monthly payments or through the assignment of the fifth of the salary or pension. Thanks to this last solution, the holiday loan becomes accessible even to those who in the past had some financial problems or are registered on the bad payers list, since the installments are deducted directly from the salary or pension and therefore the risk of insolvency is practically nil.
The guarantees for access to a holiday loan are the same as for any other type of personal loan: a source of certain and stable income (paycheck, pension slip or income tax return) or the signature of a guarantor who testifies the financial reliability of the applicant and bear the debt in the event of the insolvency of the principal debtor.
Since the amount granted for a holiday loan is usually quite small, the approval, investigation and loan disbursement times are decidedly fast. The requested amount is paid in a single payment directly to the applicant's current account, which can use it without lanes and without having to provide justifications.
As mentioned above, the holiday loan can be requested from banks and financial institutions, and in this case the applicant is free to organize his holiday in total freedom, but can also be requested directly from the travel agency through which is booking the vacation of their dreams. In this case it is possible to take advantage of agreements stipulated by the travel agency or the tour operator with specialized financial, often obtaining a discount on the holiday itself thanks to the commission received by the agency on the intermediated loan.
The law also guarantees the debtor the possibility of early repayment of the holiday loan in a single solution, saving the interest on the capital still due. In this case, in addition to the repayment of the residual capital, it may however have to pay a penalty that in any case must not exceed, by law, 1 percent of the capital financed. These details should be clearly stated in the contract signed with the issuing body, which should be read carefully before subscribing.

A tourist-free Harrods
A snapshot of lockdown London
by Emma Holmqvist Deacon — April 19, 2020
As the coronavirus pandemic rages, London is one of many cities in lockdown. Here, our London correspondent Emma Holmqvist Deacon gives a glimpse into how this usually heaving metropolis and its creative residents have transformed and adapted since the crisis hit.
Lockdown London is a ghostly shadow of its former self. The world-famous landmarks and retail behemoths I pass on my rare walks lie deserted. Tourist magnet Portobello Road is eerily quiet, and a few pigeons are the only sign of life outside the V&A museum, replacing the usual crowd of art-smart culture mavens. Continuing east along the entirely vehicle-free Brompton Road, the iconic Harrods building towers as imposingly as ever. Without the constant swarms of wallet-wielding tourists, retail meccas such as Harrods and Selfridges on Oxford Street have a solemn, almost menacing ambience to them. Harrods' panoramic windows, known to host some of the shopping terrain's most elaborate displays, are currently covered in an opaque rainbow-pattern, adorned with messages such as: "It's always darkest before the dawn."
Selfridges on London's Oxford Street lies deserted.
At the time of writing, the UK has recorded over 16k Covid-19-related deaths, and it has just been announced that the lockdown will stay in place for at least another three weeks to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. While some pre-lockdown habits have ceased – shopping for non-essential items, going into the office and seeing friends among them – others have been established. Every Thursday at 8pm, Londoners emerge from their front doors or windows to clap, cheer, or bang pots as a mark of respect and appreciation for NHS staff and other key workers who risk their lives daily to help others. Also in support of the NHS, 99-year-old war veteran Captain Tom Moore has brought joy to the nation by walking 100 laps of his garden to raise £25m and counting – far surpassing his original £1,000 target.
Faced with the new reality, which has seen the fashion industry all but grind to a halt with shuttered stores, cancelled orders and plummeting consumer confidence, a good portion of London brands and retailers have taken steps to adapt. Some set out to inspire those stuck at home, others aim to support the NHS by making much-needed personal protective equipment (PPE). Burberry has partnered with the British government to make PPE, but will have to repurpose its West Yorkshire trenchcoat factory before production can begin.
London's indie designers have been quick to react. Bethany Williams, who's always been one to weave charitable work firmly into her practice, has joined forces with fellow London designers Holly Fulton and Phoebe English to establish Emergency Designer Network (EDN). Initially, ten small-scale UK manufacturers and designers signed up to support this volunteer-led collective. At the time of writing, the number has grown to about 70 – John Smedley being among the new recruits set to start making scrubs and robes for care workers. Among those offering strategic and financial support are Cozette McCreery, Fashion Roundtable and Yoox Net A Porter Group. A Go Fund Me page is open for donations: gofundme.com/f/emergency-designer-network.
Portobello Road during London's lockdown
As for retailers' attempts to engage with quarantined consumers, community-based concept store 50m (@50mlondon) is currently running an initiative called Creating Whilst Isolating. It involves a cluster of sustainable designers – Liam Hodges included – making pieces in isolation and sharing their progress live on Instagram with 50m's followers.
The upcoming Fashion Revolution Week (20-26 April) has also been digitalized due to the lockdown. A dedicated "denim day", sponsored by Isko, will take place online 20 April via Fashion Revolution's sister initiative Fashion Open Studio. As part of the event, denim guru Mohsin Sajid of Endrime will give a denim history lesson along with a tour of his studio and archive. Catch it live 10am (BST) via @fashionopenstudio, which will also put on a panel talk on the future on denim at 4pm. Register to attend these two events – and many others – via this link: linktr.ee/denimhistory.
Shortly after the lockdown was enforced on 23 March, denim artist Ian Berry went about setting up an Instagram account (@staybehindcloseddoors) documenting lockdown life in London and beyond. Berry invites anyone to send photos for consideration to give a nuanced portrayal of the lives of others in home confinement. The project has been picked up by Holland's Museum Rijswijk, where it'll be showcased from 28 November 2020 until 4 April 2021 – something to look forward to when things revert to relative normality.

Ministry moves to deal with staff concerns
The Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Alfred Madigele says government is coming up with measures to address declining levels of professionalism and security concerns.
By Nnasaretha Kgamanyane Thu 11 Apr 2019, 15:00 pm (GMT +2)
: Madigele PIC: THALEFANG CHARLES
Mmegi Online :: Ministry moves to deal with staff concerns
Dr Madigele was briefing the media about his ministry's successes and challenges they are facing on Tuesday. He pointed out that in some instances, core cadres that are on the frontline of patient care no longer adhere to some age-old code of conduct that are commensurate with the required empathy and respectability.
The Minister called upon the old guard to lead by example in promoting professionalism and keeping best practices in health and well-ness. On other , issues he disclosed his ministry is taking action to address staff welfare concerns. Among other interventions, the ministry will provide trained and professional security personnel in health facilities. In that regard, Ministry experts the engagement of private securities in health facilities will lead to improved
"It has however become apparent that in most cases they lack training and appreciation of their role. The matter falls outside the mandate of our ministry. To deal with the matter, we are therefore in consultation with the relevant Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security to address the issue of quality of services provided," he said.
Coupled with such initiatives, Dr Madigele explained that his ministry would beef up security at health facilities by installing electronic security devices. The items have already been carted for in the 2018/19 budget. Furthermore, they will install CCTV cameras in passages and introduce access cards in restricted areas. The Ministry has also decided that referrals and district hospitals, should have call rooms that are appropriately furnished, while in clinics nurses would be transported while on call. Currently, there are ongoing discussions on the possibility of
outsourcing the transport services, in a bid to bring about efficiency, he said.
On accommodation, there is consideration that housing should be provided within the proximity of the facility where possible. Efforts are also underway to engage the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing Development to explore possibility of sourcing housing from private market.
He further said his Ministry is upgrading maintenance facilities with a view pay attention of safety issues. He said they would address stakeholders on issues of violence against health personnel by members of the public. The other issue that he promised to address is the provision of uniform for nurses.
Dr Madigele acknowledged that over the years, his ministry over the failed to provide nurses with uniform, He said they were considering giving uniform allowance to nurses. Consultations are ongoing with the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development and Directorate of Public Service Management pertaining to the allowance issue.
Meanwhile, the ministry is currently processing the filling of vacancies and has also rationalized some positions within the ministry to create D4 positions at facilities that should allow for some C1 officers to move to D4. The ministry is also working to provide a hospitable work environment and continues to explore ways to improve the situation especially shortage of staffing and housing.
Minister's briefing follows the recent petition to the ministry by Botswana Nurses Union (BONU) after the continuous assault of some nurses in workplace. The nurses through BONU raised many welfare issues that they wanted the ministry to address including their safety, promotion, and lack of uniforms, transport and accommodation.

NAN, NAPS BOARD WELCOME RATIFICATION OF LABOUR AGREEMENT
THUNDER BAY, ON (Oct 14): Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler and Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service (NAPS) Board Chair Mike Metatawabin welcome the ratification of a new labour agreement by NAPS officers that includes salary increases and improvements to operational safety.
"We are pleased that an agreement has been reached that was acceptable to the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service Board and the officers who serve our communities with such pride and distinction. This will come as a great relief to the leaders of our communities and we thank everyone involved in these lengthy negotiations," said Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.

India, the legendary land, is said to hold the privileged insights of eternality. It is where the legendary Gyanganj or Shambala or Shangri-La exists. We don't actually realize whether to believe the stories of Gyanganj to be valid or consider them as a lot of made-up fables that streamed down through hundreds of years however, there are stories that fairly solid persuading. A portion of these accounts began in India and might be considered as simple stories and nothing more by western individuals except for simultaneously, a portion of these accounts come from western individuals themselves.
Gyanganj – the place where there is immortals is supposed to be concealed somewhere down in the belly of the Himalayas. Really Gyanganj isn't only an Indian legend. One can likewise discover its underlying foundations in Tibet. As indicated by legends, Gyanganj or Shambala is a city-realm where perplexing interminable creatures live and keep themselves stowed away from the whole world. More exciting than these unfading creatures, in a bunch of undercover ways, is said to impact the whole world. They are being said to organize the advancement of all living structures that have cognizance.
Nobody knows where Gyanganj is found. It is said that Shambala or Gyanganj or Shangri-La is kept covered up in a totally unique plane of generousness and that it isn't obvious to anybody. It is so cunningly disguised in an alternate plane that even the most present-day and innovatively progressed planning frameworks can't discover the area of Gyanganj. Hindu sacred texts like the Valmiki Ramayana and Mahabharata have references to Gyanganj. The spot in those sacred writings has been alluded to as Siddhashrama.
Gyanganj – the place where there are immortals is stowed away from the outer world. Thus, there is positively no chance a human can arrive at the spot except if-else somebody is chosen to be there or somebody has achieved the vital karma to be a piece of universe of interminable creatures.
Gyanganj is supposed to be the place where there are sages who have, through the study of yoga and contemplation, picked up the information to live unceasingly. These sadhus and sages are being portrayed (by the individuals who guarantee to have encountered Gyanganj face to face) to be a week and weak looking individuals who have saddled tremendous energy and information that is a long ways past the possible furthest reaches of a common man.
The explanation for their everlasting status can be, somewhat, clarified by present-day science. Present-day science depicts that maturing is a sickness. Researchers from everywhere over the world including nations like Germany, Great Britain, United States, Russia, France, and so forth, after a long investigation of maturing and demise, have reached a resolution that passing isn't unavoidable. They state that if a strategy is discovered by which cell restoration cycle can be kept unblemished and the effectiveness of the life-supporting instrument of the organs can be kept, an individual can live on for a very long time and that's only the tip of the iceberg. This is actually what antiquated Ayurveda says.
The yogis of Gyanganj, through yoga, can handle their feelings which are liable for the arrival of chemicals. Chemicals thusly are liable for controlling the body's digestion. Along these lines, if chemicals are controlled, digestion can be controlled and chemicals can be controlled just when feelings can be viably controlled. The issue with current science is that there is no idea or feeling controlling system accessible and henceforth, there is no triumphant over death.
It is said that Gyanganj – the place where there are immortals don't have a place with the East or the West nor is it the property of a specific religion or culture. It is said to have its own autonomous premise and jelly the most mystery and sacrosanct profound lessons of the whole world. In this way, any individual who is sufficiently commendable to be at Gyanganj will discover the spot independent of the piece of the world the person comes from.
As per the legends, Gyanganj is accepted to be an antediluvian Indian and Tibet story of a city-realm of baffling interminable creatures that stay covered from the world. It is said that they exist somewhere down in the Himalayas, anyway have an impact over humankind in a few covert manners.
According to the Buddhist convictions, Lord Buddha has accepted the type of Kalachakra god before his last legs and lectured his most extreme lessons to a gathering of adepts in South India. Lord Suchandra was among the adepts present there. He wrote down all the lessons of Lord Buddha and returned them to his realm Shambhala.
In the expressions of Tibetan Buddhism
Shambala is the Tibetan Buddhist rendition of Gyanganj. Shambala in a real sense converts into "the wellspring of satisfaction". The Tibetan variant connects the acclaimed Kalachakra or the Wheel of Time with Shambala or Gyanganj. Some antiquated Buddhist writings of Tibet really offer guidelines to arrive at this place where there are immortals yet the headings/directions are excessively dark and are said that lone edified individuals will have the option to follow the bearings and discover Shambala.
Tibetan Buddhists accept that this baffling area is covered up at some dark spot in Central Asia. What's additionally fascinating is the Tibetan Buddhist mythos says that when the world falls into the gap of avarice and war, the leader of Shambhala will seem to accompany the blue planet into a superior age.
Some truly astounding realities about Gyanganj
Only refined yogis can discover it
In a portion of the old Buddhist writings, there are not many guidelines to get to Gyanganj. In any case, the headings to this spot are boundless. It is said that solitary edified yogis can reach there.
Cannot be found by present-day satellites and planning methods.
It is assumed that Gyanganj is shrewdly covered in an altogether unique surface of validity. Consequently, Gyanganj can never be found by current logical advances.
Gyanganj has its own standpoints; it doesn't have a place with east or west.
The legends state that Gyanganj has its exceptional and independent establishment in human shrewdness and doesn't have a place with East, West, or some other way of thinking.
There is no passing in Gyanganj.
According to the convictions, there is no demise in Gyanganj. The awareness consistently stays alive there.
Books and TV serials are enlivened by the idea of Gyanganj.
'Lost Horizon, about the lost realm of Shangri-La', the novel of an enhanced creator James Hilton, depends on the idea of Gyanganj. What's more, Hindu sacred texts like 'Mahabharata' and 'Valmiki Ramayana' additionally hold references to Siddhashrama, which is another name of Gyanganj.
It will enchant your nerves on the off chance that you, in any event, for a second, accept that there lies a spot where multitudinous sage creatures arrange the advancement of the human race as well as all the cognizant creatures.

Acoustic soloist Timothy Seaman brings together an eclectic blend of music styles unlike any other: sometimes the deep voice of his four-octave extended-range hammered dulcimer takes on the heart of a Chopin ballade, and at other times the festivity of an old-time mountain dance or a glistening contemporary interpretation of a whitewater canoe ride or a highland hike among fir trees. His bamboo or silver flute improvisations and passionate folk renditions leave the air glowing with meaning --- and then the bowed psaltery or the crafted vocal carries one's mood into yet another exploration.
A specialist in Virginia themes, nature, parks, Celtic roots and folk hymns, Timothy has since 1978 produced or co-produced nineteen recordings totaling more than 124,000 copies, including the well-received Here on This Ridge, for Shenandoah National Park, Celebration of Centuries, for his home town Williamsburg's tri-centennial, Sycamore Rapids, featuring the hammered dulcimer in "adventures out among the trees of Virginia's Parks and Forests," Virginia Wildlife, for the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent, for the 400th commemoration, Cleansing Fountain, folk hymn interpretations for the Blue Ridge Parkway, a set of lyrical melodies called Celtic Airs, and the recent release for the Civil War Sesquicentennial entitled Tenting on the Old Camp Ground. Although many tracks on these CDs are full ensemble arrangements (often with all instruments played by Seaman himself), they carry the same variety and flow of thought that characterize his solo presence.

Yellen Stresses US Commitment to alleviate world hunger
Lusaka, Zambia - On the final day of her visit to Zambia, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen discussed climate-resilient food production and the global fallout from Russia's war on Ukraine.
On her second day in Zambia, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said hunger and food insecurity are exerting a heavy toll on communities around the world.
Secretary Yellen said it is for this reason the United States is taking strong and immediate actions to alleviate hunger.
Yellen spoke Tuesday in Chongwe, east of the Zambian capital, Lusaka, where she met with several female farmers through the green climate fund, which the U.S. is supporting through the United Nations.
The project - Climate Resilience of Agricultural Livelihoods in Agro-Ecological Regions in Zambia - is aimed at helping small-scale farmers better manage the impacts of climate change and alleviate hunger.
"The number of people facing acute food insecurity has risen to 345 million across 80 countries. In Zambia, about 2 million people face acute food insecurity and nearly half the population is unable to meet the daily caloric intake," she said.
Secretary Yellen also mentioned that Russia's war on Ukraine has caused major food supply disruptions across the world.

She said the U.S. will work closely with African countries like Zambia to develop its infrastructure and logistics capabilities.
She underscored the African continent needs a robust capacity not only to grow food, but to ensure it can be cultivated, stored and efficiently transported.
"And this difficult situation has been exacerbated by Russia's illegal war on Ukraine, which has further stressed fuel and fertilizer prices across the world," she said.
Secretary Yellen was accompanied to Chongwe by Zambia's acting agricultural minister, Gary Nkombo, who expressed gratitude for the U.S. support to Zambia. Nkombo said about 150 families have benefited from the U.N.-led program in Chongwe, which focuses on conservation farming.
Last month, more than 40 African leaders met with members of the U.S. administration in Washington, which pledged to strengthen investments between Africa and the U.S.

Frozen water pipes typically happen during long stretches of sever freezing temperatures. If a blizzard takes down power lines and heat is not restored during freezing temperatures, it may not take long for exposed water pipes to freeze.
You can prevent frozen pipes or lower your chances of frozen pipes by making sure your home's plumbing is well insulated and protected from outside temperatures. If a vacation home is not going to be occupied during the winter months in an area of the country that can freeze, people will often call on a plumber to winterize their home to prevent pipes from freezing.
A licensed, professional plumber has the skills, experience, and equipment to thaw frozen pipes without causing damage to your home. After the pipes are thawed, a plumber can help prevent future occurrences by adding pipe insulation or even relocating pipes. Finally, keep in mind that in extreme situations of freezing temperatures, if your pipes freeze, chances are many other people in your area have the same plumbing problems. At times like these, plumbers get so many calls that it could be days before they can come out to your home.

How Air Conditioning Changed the World
Posted by: Gareth Whalley
Category: Latest News & Blog
Throughout the ages, mankind has strived to find ways of controlling temperature and most notably to create cooler temperatures in warmer climates. The temperature is now a factor of life we rarely give thought to with systems being able to instantly emulate temperatures we desire.
However, for thousands of years, it controlled many aspects of humanity and dictated much of how we lived. From architecture to work, technology to migration, so much of what we now see as everyday society was very different before the invention of air conditioning.
Early attempts at Temperature Control
One of the most notable examples of mankind's inspiring attempts at temperature control can be dated back to the early 19th century from American businessman Frederic Tudor.
Dubbed the 'Ice King' of Boston, Tudor made his fortune by cutting blocks of ice in Northern America and shipping them to hotter climates around the globe. His plan was to chill out the tropical climate by getting people hooked on cold cocktails and ice cream and is quoted as writing "A man who has drank his drinks cold at the same expense for one week can never be presented with them warm again,". Although Tudor's ice business did not create a means of cooling down properties, it did succeed in revolutionising cold beverages and ice cream across the globe.
It wouldn't be until later that century in 1881 that an early nod to air conditioning would be developed for President Garfield. The President was shot and would later die from this wound, but during the final weeks of his life, an extremely costly contraption was developed whereby air was blown into his room over 6 tonnes of ice in order to keep the temperature 20 degrees lower.
Who Invented Air Conditioning?
To quote the poet Emmerson, 'genius always finds itself a century too early' and in true fashion it therefore wouldn't be until the start of the 20th century in 1902 that Willis Haviland Carrier would design what we know to be the modern-day air-conditioning system.
It was on a foggy train platform in the American city of Pittsburgh that Carrier would conclude you could dry air by passing it through water to create fog. It was at this time he realised with this process he could manufacture the air by adding specific amounts of moisture, ultimately controlling humidity.
This process would become the foundation of modern air conditioning and launch a global industry that would forever change the way we live, work and socialise forever.
What Exactly Did Air Conditioning Change?
Homes have always been built in accordance with the climate in which they are built. For example, properties in warmer climates had to be built to reflect as much heat as possible and were often painted white to do so. Structurally they had to be able to increase airflow throughout and therefore had large corridors and high ceiling to let the heat rise.
However, the introduction of Air conditioning has since drastically expanded the architectural options available. Homes no longer need these considered features, but instead are now being designed to suit the occupant and with the implementation of the system in mind.
Following on from the increase in air-conditioned homes, 2018 research has shown that the number of air conditioners globally is set to soar from an already staggering 1.6 billion units to 5.6 billion by 2050. Whilst air conditioning has provided man kind with the ability to control temperature, there has been a significant environmental impact.
Consequently, people are now advised to use their units less in order to conserve energy and reduce their carbon footprint. There are however newer, more efficient model which use far less energy and have been developed to be much more environmentally friendly in the long term.
Companies are always looking for ways to keep their employees working at maximum efficiency, whatever the weather and the introduction of air conditioning to workplaces has been pretty much able to guarantee this.
Researchers no longer ask the question of 'can the temperature impact productivity' but instead are now formulating the perfect temperature. The latest research suggests that 'At higher temperatures, women perform better on maths and verbal tasks while the reverse is true for men'.

Strap supports the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of proteins and integrates amino acid sequence, secondary structure, 3D-structure and genomic- and mRNA-sequence and residue annotation.
Snapshot of the Strap application. Bottom panel: Multiple sequence alignment in Strap. Four proteins are selected and conserved amino acids are colorized according to chemical property. Top panel: One of the proteins is shown in 3D.
The alignment can be exported and modified in MS-Word or other text processors. Import and export of proteins is very easy by . The included tutorial will teach the use of Strap in as little as one hour. The scriptability and extendability make Strap a very powerful tool for even the most advanced users. The software programmed in Java and runs on all platforms. It will be permanently improved.
Protein superposition of four proteins.
Click to run demo An alignment of orthologous and paralogous sequences of the core of the proteasome is shown. Each alignment row contains the amino acid sequence and the row header with the sequence name. The row headers have a context menu (right click) and can be moved/copied with the mouse (so-called ).
Important sequence positions are highlighted after some time. A detailed balloon message appears when the mouse pointer is over the underlining. The information is freshly downloaded from various servers in the world and will be up-to-date which causes a delay of a few moments. They have a context menu (right click), they can be selected by Ctrl+click and can be copied by .
The 3D-structures are not directly available. This is because only sequence information is primarily present. Nevertheless, homologous 3D-models can be inferred using the tool-button "3D". This automated search for homologous structures is based on an up-to-date copy of the structure database. After association of 3D-coordinates from an homologous entry from the protein structure database, the structure can be viewed.
Java is needed. Click the "Launch"-button in the navigation panel which links the file strap.jnlp.
Depending on the configuration of the Web-Browser, it may not work: In case of problems.
By default, Strap must not use more than 250 MByte. Therefore, Strap may throw an OutOfMemoryError. Here you can start Strap with more memory.
OutOfMemoryError often occurs with the 3D-superposition method CE for very large proteins. Solution: The method TM_align requires less memory. The superposition method can be changed with the context menu of the align-tool-button (right click) or in the Superposition menu of the 3D-view.
The amount of free memory can be monitored in Strap in the left side pane which need to be opened with the mouse first.
Uninstall: Strap does not change the system. It does not modify global configuration files . All files reside in .

Fort Vancouver, 1845 (painting by Henry James Warre, Library and Archives Canada/C-40845)
Fort Vancouver, a HUDSON'S BAY CO fur-trade post, was originally constructed in 1825 by Dr. John McLoughlin about 150 km inland on the north bank of the Columbia River, 8 km above the mouth of the Willamette. In 1829, the site was shifted closer to the Columbia, about 2 km west of the old fort. The newer structure is Fort Vancouver, the remains of which were unearthed and are now a historic monument in Vancouver, Washington. Strategically located to protect British interests, it was the company's Columbia district headquarters, and all trading and shipping operations west of the Rockies were directed from it. The fort was enclosed by a large stockade and was self-supporting, with farming, fishing and sawmilling being developed adjacent to it. The OREGON TREATY of 1846, which placed the fort in American territory, forced the company to transfer its depot to FORT VICTORIA in 1849, eventually abandoning the fort in 1860.

Can Josh Gordon Rediscover Last Year's Mojo?
Browns star receiver Josh Gordon is finally coming in from the cold
WR Fantasy Football News -
Josh Gordon, the number one scoring fantasy WR in 2013, is primed to make his 2014 debut during Week 12 against the Falcons. Surprisingly, Gordon is still not owned in 100% of fantasy leagues, and he absolutely needs to be. In 2013, Gordon posted the tenth most receiving yards in a single season in NFL history in only 14 games. In WR news, Gordon missed the first two games of 2013 due to another suspension and put up historic numbers with four different quarterbacks throughout the season.
It's a bit of a stretch to predict the same type of production for Gordon this season after sitting out nearly three quarters of the year, but that's a risk every fantasy owner fortunate enough to own Gordon needs to take. Gordon put up monster numbers last year with several no-name quarterbacks and will instantly morph into the number one option for a Browns team that is surprisingly in first place 10 weeks into the season.
Some owners may want to see what type of numbers Gordon produces in his first game of the season before plugging him into their lineup, but it's hard to imagine that many owners couldn't use Gordon as a high-end WR2 or Flex play in Week 12.
There's a lot of speculation going around about what Gordon can accomplish once he returns to the playing field this season, but I've got a strong feeling I'll be hearing a lot of buzz about how "Josh Gordon won me my fantasy league this year" when it's all said and done.
Look for Josh Gordon to put up top 10 fantasy WR numbers in Week 12 and for the remainder of the season which will make him a low-end WR1 and high-end WR2 starting in Week 12. The biggest concern for Gordon owners might be the fact that the Browns will likely be winning many of their remaining games and won't have to air it out on every down like they have in previous years when they had no running game.
Stay tuned to ASL for the best WR fantasy news.

The Blue Flag is an environental award given to those municipalities, who make a special effort in the management of their coastal environment, its internal waters and beaches in a way that respects the environment and nature. For this Blue Flag, the local community and beaches have to meet certain criteria, wich refer to the quality of bathing water, information and environmental education and the services and facilities.
LIST OF BEACHES AWARDED WITH THE BLUE FLAG 2016
A blue flag on the beach is a recognition and incentivates the effort done by some local communities to achieve the legal criterion of accessibility, health, cleanliness and security as well as an adequate information and environmental management.
The Blue Flag campaign is developed in more than 40 countries around five continents every year. That includes almost all countries of the "enlarged" EU. More than 2000 coastal municipalities take part in the campaign independently. With the support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organization (WTO) non European countries have been incorporated since 2001 in the campaigns and pilot projects.
Since 2004-2005, the Blue Flag is awarded in some of these countries which has caused a doubling of the International Jury for the Nothern Hemisphere (in spring) and the Southern Hemisphere (in autumn). In 2009, 41 countries in Europe, Marocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, New Zealand, and in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Repulic, Bahamas and Jamaika enjoy already the Blue Flags.

Welcome to the growing and dynamic English Department at Ryerson University. We are proud to be part of Canada's most forward-looking University, located in the heart of its largest and most diverse city. This diversity and energy is reflected in our student body, our faculty members, our course offerings, and our department's scholarly research and creative work.
We are especially proud of our department's strengths in transnational and urban literatures and cultures, digital and transmedia perspectives, and creative expression.
Why the Humanities? Why English?
In today's unpredictable economic climate, many students may ask: after four years of majoring in English literature, will we have the skills and competencies necessary for success in a competitive work force?
While it is tempting to think of programs that are focused on a specific profession as offering better training and "job readiness" for young graduates, the reality is that some of the most successful politicians, CEOs, and executives have a background in the humanities, many in English. By teaching students how to think in creative and thoughtful ways, to write, speak, and listen carefully and critically, and to problem solve effectively, an English degree opens all kinds of doors to students – ones that might not be immediately obvious – in a volatile job market. Employers seek employees who are adaptable and versatile; these are qualities that an English degree helps you develop and hone.
A humanities education reminds us of our own humanity, and teaches us to view the world empathically, creatively, expansively, and to bring ideas of being a better human to the workplace and the community. It also teaches us to be better local and global citizens. Together, through reading the literature of other times, other cultures, other nations, we learn how to imagine the world of another. What better type of job-readiness is there than that in today's globalized society? Studies in English literature don't just prepare students for the workplace – they prepare students for life.
We are proud of Ryerson's long-standing tradition of preparing students with the skills most needed in the workplace. These skills are formed by the lively integration of curiosity, creativity and critical thinking that distinguish our programs. While our English degree incorporates experiential learning into our course offerings, our BA also retains the traditional and most valuable aspect of an English degree: teaching students to think in expansive, creative and critical ways. An English major can be combined with a wide variety of professional and creative minors; some of the more popular minors include Sociology, History, Curatorial Studies, Film (Cinema) Studies, and News Studies.
Students in our BA in English program can choose from a rich variety of courses aimed at enhancing their creative and research expertise in literatures and cultures — as well as creating opportunities for hands-on experiential learning. For students who wish to combine literary studies with another discipline, we offer an English Option and an English Minor.
Our graduate MA in Literatures of Modernity program combines advanced literary studies, innovative research and theoretical perspectives with opportunities for real-world experience in Toronto's literary, media, and cultural sectors.
Additionally, we have a Certificate in English Literature and Popular Culture that allows students to enhance and refine their communication skills.
I invite you to join our innovative English program and explore Ryerson's exciting opportunities for your academic, creative, and professional enrichment.


Place tomatoes, garlic, red onion, jalapenos, 1/2 cup of cilantro, and 1/4 cup of the oil into a food processor. Pulse until the consistency of the mixture is course, about 5 (1 second) pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Garnish the salsa with the remaining cilantro and oil.


The team is off to a strong start, with only one loss in five contests.
After a tough, one-run loss to Brewster on Monday, the Bulldogs rebounded with a 6-0 victory over league rival Hendrick Hudson on Tuesday at Dutchess Stadium and a 12-2 drubbing of previously unbeaten Nanuet on Wednesday.
In the win over Nanuet, Mike Lepere hit his first career homer, went 2-for-3 at the plate, and drove in four runs for Beacon (3-1-1). Jayen Lare drove in two runs and also went 2-for-3, and Kai Jacketti and Nick Lepere each had two hits.
Besim Dika picked up the victory on the mound in his first varsity start, going four innings and allowing one earned run while striking out four. Nick Lepere pitched the final two innings to earn a save, striking out two.
"Dika threw a lot of first-pitch strikes, had a good curve and change. He made a good debut," said Manager Bob Atwell.
A day earlier, senior righthander Joe DeCandia threw five innings, striking out four batters and allowing only three hits in a shutout of the Sailors. He is now 2-0. Lare earned a save in relief.
"DeCandia has been overcoming an injury, and also had to pitch around the rain," Atwell said.
At the plate, Mike Lepere and Lare each tripled, and Dillon Kelly and Nick Lepere had RBI singles. Dika and Shane Green also each had an RBI.
This year's team returns a solid core from last year's 13-9 squad that lost in the sectional quarterfinals. "We have a great combination of experience and quality underclassmen," Atwell said.
DeCandia, an All-Section pitcher and infielder, leads a group of seniors that includes All-League catcher Andrew Schneider, Lare (who also plays shortstop), outfielder Mike Manzoeillo and Nick Lepere (who also plays outfield).
The Bulldogs are scheduled to visit Nyack on Saturday, April 13, before hosting the three-day Spring Bash Tournament starting Monday.


The last line is useful because many predefined tables don't have primary keys.
Since you're using the standardized information schema, this query should be portable to other SQL database systems. The identical query works on MySQL, for example.
One thing to note is that this will only tell you about tables that you have some privilege on. So if you don't run it as superuser, you might miss some stuff.
For me David's queries do not list a table whose (only) constraint is a foreign key reference.
@denish got one that goes strictly from the information schema?
There is no engine column in that view in standard SQL.
Old post, but still working and very helpful.
