Atheist CPI(M) to 'back' Ramayana month events in Kerala
Posted on July 22, 2018 by WHN Reporter
The officially atheist CPI(M) party's decision to back the events raised questions | Facebook
The party claims the idea is to encourage Sanskrit scholars vying to protect religion from communal forces.
New Delhi: Kerala's ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) has decided to "back" a series of initiatives by a group of Sanskrit scholars and cultural organisations during the Ramayana month in the state.
It is an attempt, the party said, to present a "counter-narrative to the religious propaganda of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)".
But since the CPI(M) is officially atheist, its decision to back the events has raised questions about the party's changing stance, more so as it coincides with the rise of the BJP in Kerala.
The Malayalam month of Karkidakkam, from 17 July to 16 August, is dedicated to the Ramayana. The initiatives in question include seminars, debates, talks and similar events.
State CPI(M) leaders said their support for the events was part of its "struggle against communalism", but denied the party or the government it heads would officially observe the Ramayana month or organise events to mark it.
"This is a group of Sanskrit scholars who have come together on their own terms to take up issues against communal forces who use religious scriptures for political purposes," former CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat told ThePrint.
Karat is from Kerala.
"We have given them the go-ahead that, if you want to, then why not do it? They have our backing, more so because many of those scholars are, in fact, CPI(M) sympathisers," he added.
"The organisation (of the events), however, is not sponsored by the party," Karat said.
Flirting with religion?
To be sure, this isn't the first time the CPI(M) has sought to flirt with religion in Kerala. Over the past few years, the party has also organised Janmashtami celebrations, holding marches of its own to counter the Sangh Parivar's increasingly popular processions.
The rise of the BJP in its last remaining bastion has made the CPI(M) deeply uncomfortable, as the Congress had long been its only rival in Kerala. The BJP has of late managed to make inroads in the coastal state, with the 2016 assembly polls leading to the election of the state's first BJP MLA in O. Rajagopal.
Earlier this year, the CPI(M) was voted out of its long-held stronghold of Tripura in favour of a BJP government, while it is yet to recover from its crushing defeat at the hands of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress in West Bengal.
As five of its nine Lok Sabha seats are from Kerala, the CPI(M) is wary of ceding any space to the BJP with less than a year to go for the Lok Sabha polls.
'Struggle against communalism'
M.B. Rajesh, the Lok Sabha member from Palakkad and state committee member, also defended the move.
"Some cultural forums and scholars have decided to conduct events based on the Ramayana to present a counter-narrative to the RSS/BJP's religious propaganda which they use to communalise and polarise people," he told ThePrint.
"These scholars have done this earlier as well. This time, the CPI(M) is supporting them as part of our ideological and cultural struggle against communalism. With this, we are intensifying our ideological struggle," Rajesh added.
"Those spearheading the month-long movement are Marxist intellectuals. We are encouraging those who are organising these events, but these are neither under the party nor the government's banner," he said.
He also dismissed speculation that their support translated to a shift towards a religious bent.
"Our decision to back these events has nothing to do with religion. Ramayana and Mahabharata have nothing to do with religion either," Rajesh said, adding that the move had nothing to do with next year's Lok Sabha polls either.

Tenants at the Sydney CBD high rise apartment building, "Windsor Plaza" have seen significant water and costs savings following the completion of Sydney Water's new WaterFix Strata Service program.
The 154 Windsor Plaza apartment block in Sussex St was originally built in 1987 and recently won the Strata Community Environmental and Engagement Award at the Strata Community Associations 2017 CHU Strata Community Awards.
Sydney Water Senior Project Officer, Tony Robinson, said that the WaterFix program helps reduce customers' water bills through the repair and replacement of leaking taps and toilets.
"The service, for eligible strata buildings, comes with the added incentive of a performance guarantee, where customers pay for the service with the savings that are achieved.
"This means that the customer pays nothing up front for the service, but continues to pay their water bill at the same historical rate until the service is paid for.
"After this time, which normally takes around three years, the Body Corporate will see significant reductions in their water bills," said Mr Robinson.
Andrew Whittaker, Head of the Windsor Plaza Strata Committee, said that initial reports showed that tenants were using 575 litres per bedroom per day on average across the 154 apartments. Typical use is between 200-300 litres.
"Early results are showing a 34 per cent reduction in total water usage which will save the Body Corporate at Windsor Plaza around $44,000 a year in water usage charges plus there will be a significant reduction in hot water gas bills for apartment owners and tenants.
"The initial inspection by Sydney Water saw dripping taps and leaking toilets – which accounted for 28 per cent of the total water consumption of the building.
"Total average water consumption before the WaterFix program was progressively increasing – there was a 10 per cent rise from 1 January to 1 May this year. The total water consumption dropped from an average total daily usage of 184 kL to 115 kL per day," Mr Whittaker said.
"The cost of water use has dropped by about a third which is fantastic. Individual consumption of hot water has dropped significantly for people who had leaking hot water taps, and they are already seeing a reduction in their hot water gas bills.

Q: Throw message not being shown I'm trying to print my own error messages using throw. Consider this example:
$computerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$adsi = [adsi]("WinNT://$computerName")

if (!($adsi.Children.Find($userGroup, 'group')))
{
    throw "User group not found."
}

If the user group is incorrect, this error message is shown:
Exception calling "Find" with "2" argument(s): The group name could not be found.
Is there a way to show my throw message, rather than the generic exception?

A: try this:
$computerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$adsi = [adsi]("WinNT://$computerName")
try {
    $adsi.Children.Find($userGroup, 'group')
}
catch{
    throw "User group not found."
}

A: [adsi] has a habit of throwing terminating errors. This happens with Get-ADUser as well. This is why capturing the error in a try/catch (like in whatever's answer) is necessary.
As an alternative you can check if the group exists by querying all local groups first and see if yours exists.
$computerName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$adsi = [adsi]("WinNT://$computerName")
$localGroups = $adsi.children | Where-Object{$_.SchemaClassName -eq "Group"}
If($userGroup -notin $localGroups.Name){
    throw "Your group is in another castle."
}

or a variant
if(-not ($adsi.children | Where-Object{$_.SchemaClassName -eq "Group" -and $_.Name -eq $userGroup})){
    throw "Your group is in another castle."
}

Depending on where you are continuing with this code it might be advantageous to store this information once.

The SiR had some nice styling touches, including a very hip-looking body style and a "bee sting" roof antenna.
Although Canadian buyers have usually embraced hatchbacks, American buyers seem to have a love/hate thing with them. A case in point: the Honda Civic SiR.
Introduced to the North American market in 2002, this stylish sport hatch lasted a scant three years before it was replaced by the Si coupe. The reasons for its demise are many, but one of them was Honda U.S.A.'s stubborn refusal to take this body configuration seriously.
Designed in Japan and built in the United Kingdom, the SiR's heritage dates back to 1984, when Honda released the first Civic 1500S, with added interior and exterior features and an upgraded suspension - a model that ran until 1987. In 1989, after a brief hiatus, the S evolved into the Si, which carried on in three-door form until 1993.
The Si was also the first Civic to benefit from the introduction of Honda's i-VTEC variable valve engine technology, which came as standard equipment with the SiR's 2.0-litre twin overhead cam engine. This powerplant was also found in the Acura RSX hatchback.
The result was 160 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 132 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. At the time, the SiR was the most torque-y Civic ever produced. It also surpassed the all-important California Air Resources Board (CARB) Light Emission Vehicle (LEV2) requirements. It was peppy, clean and reasonably thrifty: 9.0 L/100 km in the city and 7.1 on the highway.
That said, a common criticism levelled against the SiR was that it could have used a performance shot in the arm. By way of comparison, the same vintage of Mini Cooper S had 163 horses and, because of its lighter weight, was a quicker automobile. Ditto with the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which, although more expensive, featured up to 20 more horsepower.
But the SiR was equal to these two when it came to coolness. It had some nice styling touches, including a very hip-looking body style, a "bee sting" roof antenna and, inside, a shift lever mounted halfway up the centre console, as opposed to being located on the floor. Alfa and Citroën have both utilized a similar setup for years, and this feature alone gave the SiR a hefty dose of coolness.
It came with a five-speed manual transmission only, and Honda borrowed technology from its S2000 sports car for the shifting linkage.
The SiR was also surprisingly roomy. With its 60/40-split rear seat folded, it boasted 445 litres of cargo area, with a completely flat rear floor. Its rear hatch opened wider than some of its closest competitors, which included the VW Golf, the Mini Cooper and maybe even the Ford Focus.
Standard equipment included sport-type front bucket seats, air conditioning, power windows and door locks, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, dual front airbags and electrically assisted rack and pinion power steering. Honda was particularly proud of this latter feature, having used hydraulic assist up to this point in all its North American models.
There are no safety recalls for this model of Civic on file with Transport Canada, but the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has 36 recalls for all Civics manufactured from 2002 to 2004. These mainly concern improper headlights and exterior lighting, as well as aftermarket replacement parts and a rather unusual recall for "certain" Honda Civics powered by natural gas, manufactured from 1998 to 2007.
NHTSA also has an unbelievable 563 technical service bulletins for all Civics manufactured from 2002 to 2004. The SiR is not singled out by the government agency, either for safety recalls or technical service bulletins, and many of the TSBs seem to deal with the Civic Hybrid, but there's a vast array of mechanical glitches and service advisories for these years of the vehicle: alternator output problems, clutch shudder, engine cooling issues, body squeaks and rattles - you name it.
Despite these contretemps, Consumer Reports likes the Civic hatchback. It gets top or near-top marks in every category from this organization, earning a "good bet" used-car rating and a "better than average" new-car prediction. However, CR does point out that the SiR hatchback model doesn't feel very "sporty."
Market research company J.D. Power also likes five-year-old Civics - SiR and otherwise - giving all models of this vintage its highest rating for dependability in the compact car segment.
A five-year-old SiR seems to be going for a little more than half of what it cost new, in 2004. Expect to pay from about $9,000 to $11,500. Potential buyers should bear in mind that, aside from cost, there's very little difference between the '02 and '04 models.
As well, this model of Civic may also become collectible in the fullness of time, as Honda really didn't give it much of a chance in Canada and discontinued it after 2004.


WINDHOEK, 09 JUN (NAMPA) – The local business community has called on the private sector to work with Government to establish proper platforms for full participation of all Namibians towards the successful implementation of the Fifth National Development Plans (NDP5).
Speaking during a panel discussion on NDP5 plans organised by Bank Windhoek here on Friday, several local business personalities requested Government to establish a strong partnership committee consisting of people drawn from both public and private sectors to monitor the speedy implementation and execution of NDP5 plans and projects.
The recently launched NDP5 is the fifth in a series of seven National Development Plans aimed at achieving objectives and aspirations of Vision 2030, and is effective from 2017/18 financial year up until 2021/22.
Bank Windhoek Managing Director, Baronice Hans said during the discussion that Government should seek the involvement and full participation of the banking and financial sector towards the funding of the implementation of NDP5 plans.
"The complexity of the NDP5 plans is in its execution and implementation, and this needs the involvement of all Namibians, both in public and private sectors," stated Hans.
Youth leader and independent consultant, Hilda Liswani, called on the government to include the full participation of young entrepreneurs during the implementation of NDP5 plans and projects.
"Do not be afraid to reach young businesspeople for their participation and inputs so that these NDP5 plans do not become white elephants," cautioned Liswani.
NDP5 comprises 80 programmes and 171 projects estimated to cost N.dollars 164.2 billion.
Minister of Economic Planning and Director-General of the National Planning Commission Tom Alweendo said Government will conduct meetings in the country's 14 regions in the next few months in order to have inputs of people at grassroots level.
"The NDP5 needs to have ownership of all Namibian stakeholders for successful implementation," he said.
Alweendo said Namibia's economy is not growing fast enough and is not inclusive enough to properly address the challenges of the high rate of unemployment and the social evils of hunger, poverty and inequality.
According to him, NDP5 is an investment that needs proper evaluation and monitoring systems by all stakeholders in both public and private sector.

Valmaura è un rione della città di Trieste posto nella prima periferia meridionale della città lungo l'asse che la collega con l'Istria.

Con tale nome viene indicata la piccola valle posta tra il colle di Servola e quello di San Pantaleone.

Nel rione hanno sede le più importanti infrastrutture sportive cittadine: lo Stadio Nereo Rocco, lo Stadio Giuseppe Grezar ed il PalaTrieste, che formano una vera e propria cittadella dello sport. In esso vi si trovava anche il macello comunale, qui costruito nel 1852, e spostato negli anni ottanta.

Vicino allo Stadio Nereo Rocco, è presente la Risiera di San Sabba, campo di concentramento nazista ed ora monumento nazionale.

La chiesa parrocchiale di Valmaura, dedicata alla Beata Vergine Addolorata, fu costruita tra il 1947 e il 1948 e consacrata il 19 marzo 1948. La parrocchia venne eretta nel 1955.

Trasporti

Strade
Il quartiere è servito dalle vie Flavia ed Istria, entrambe facenti parte dell'ex strada statale 15 Via Flavia (che collegava Piazzale Baiamonti a Pola); negli anni 80 venne costruita la grande viabilità triestina (acronimata GVT), classificata strada statale 202 Triestina con lo svincolo sulla Via Valmaura.

Ferrovie
Valmaura venne servita dal 1902 al 1935 dalla ferrovia Parenzana, poi chiusa e rinominata come ferrovia Trieste Campo Marzio - Trieste Aquilinia, anch'essa ora chiusa al traffico passeggeri ed in uso esclusivo al traffico merci, vi era l'idea di rendere la linea (assieme alla ferrovia Trieste Campo marzio - Villa Opicina) una linea di metropolitana leggera.

Trasporti urbani
La zona è servita dalle più importanti linee urbane (gestite dalla Trieste Trasporti): la linea 10 che collega il quartiere a Piazza Tommaseo. La linea 8 la collega alle rive ed a Roiano, le linee dalla 19 alla 23 le collegano alla stazione ferroviaria centrale  e la linea 52 svolge il percorso circolare nel quartiere stesso, nella zona di Sant'Anna e sul Monte San Pantaleone.

Alcune linee erano precedentemente sostituite da tram e filobus.

Curiosità
In un appartamento all'interno del complesso residenziale "Le Agavi", nel 1982 è stato nascosto Roberto Calvi durante la sua latitanza.

Three characters that play alongside the player throughout StarCraft Brood War Crack are Jim Raynor, Artanis, Raszagal. Jim Raynor is a rebel from the Terran race and he is on the run from the Dominion. Artanis is the Executor from StarCrafts third campaign and he has been promoted. Raszagal is the matriarch of the dark templar faction in the society of the Protoss.
In StarCraft Brood War Free Download's second campaign the player assumes the role of captain in the UED. He will report to the forces admiral Gerard DuGalle and Alexei Stukov. The UED plan to overthrow the Terran Dominion and Arcturus Mengsk, the emperor, to secure the sector.

Q: How do I change the style of a geoJSON layer of LineStrings in Leaflet 1.0.3 I am trying to change the style of a layer of lines strings in leaflet 1.0.3. My layer is a geoJSON layer generated using an ajax call and the leaflet-ajax lib. I can see my layer on the map, but it inherits the default styling, not the styling I am trying to add.
var lines = new L.GeoJSON.AJAX('/rest/lines');

lines.setStyle({color:"#00000",weight:10}).addTo(map);

var overlays = {"Lines": lines};

L.control.layers(overlays).addTo(map);

A: You should try to define a function which will style each line as it is loaded up into Leaflet.
From this link: https://github.com/Dominique92/Leaflet.GeoJSON.Ajax
...
new L.GeoJSON.Ajax(
    <URL>, // GeoJson server URL.
    {
        argsGeoJSON: {
            name: value, // GeoJson args pairs that will be added to the url with the syntax: ?name=value&...
            ...
        }
        bbox: <boolean>, // Optional: whether or not add bbox arg to the geoJson server URL
        style: function(feature) { // Optional
            return {
                "<NAME>": <VALUE>, // Properties pairs that will overwrite the geoJson flow features properties
                "<NAME>": feature.properties.<NAME>, // The value can be calculated from any geoJson property for each features.
                ...
            };
        }
    }
).addTo(map);
...

This is my code, which is for shapes not lines, but it should work in a similar way:
geojson = L.geoJson(myGeoJson.features, {
    onEachFeature: onEachFeature,
    style: styleFeature,
}).addTo(myLeafletMap);

and then I have the functions:
function onEachFeature(feature, layer) {
...
}

and
function styleFeature(feature){
    return {
        weight: 2.5,
        opacity: 1,
        color: getColour('blue'),
    };
}

Filmen De røde Heste fra 1950 er dog formodentligt den mest sete danske film med en estimeret 2,0-2,6 mio. solgte billetter. Det præcise antal solgte billetter kendes dog ikke, og den indgår ikke i officielle statistikker. Far til fire i byen fra 1956 solgte 877.839 billetter og er dermed også blandt en af de bedst sælgende danske film.

(Philosophically, or religiously. Like, for instance, one of a Secular humanist nature...) I posed this question up in the past and got no indication whatsoever that what I am implying might not be true. (Along with typical apathy over cronyism col) It's a very lucrative and potentially greatly self- promoting , or selectively promoting and extremely unfair power or ability for " voice giving" that is enacted. It is something that needs to be addressed in any non dictatorial" open community" or platform ( Facebook and the like not excepted) . Is anyone else out there, perturbed by this "art immitating real life", phenomena? I would hope so.
CD Richards: I suspect you got no response because criticism of judges is never going to elicit a defense. I know-- been there, done that. Sure, it's our democratic right to whine when we feel hard done by, but we're unlikely to get an answer. To do so would put the judge(s) on the back foot.
As to your particular point about "secular humanists" receiving favourable treatment from one or more judges, I just have to say that as someone who half fits that description, I find that really amusing. One only needs to look at some of the work that is really atrocious, but receives nothing but glowing six-star reviews because of its "devotional" nature to see where the balance of power lies on this site. That's not to say that there isn't also some top rate work with a religious bent, there absolutely is.
djeckert: hi Craig, I just now saw your response. I'm a bit slow. it is quite frustrating how these judges are untouchable and unaccountable, strikes me as anything but democratic or even having any pretense of fairness...even God, at least gives us many guidelines and standards, and an idea on HIS criteria . Lol. You knew I couldn't resist. But I also agree with much of your aggravation about the quality that is at times quite lauded. Maybe it is unfair of me to say that it's strictly " secular humanist" slanted...perhaps it's more crony slanted , IDK. Perhaps even more unfair. But, I do miss our discussions and have been meaning to strike that up again sometime soon if your game. Bless you my friend.

JLR: Very accomplished writing, congratulations on your first-place recognition.
djeckert: Thank you so much for the congrats and kind words. Bless you!
djeckert: I'm sure that maybe for the more "domesticated" Fanstorians , they already know many of the answers to my following questions. But, being that I am a more "feral" feeling , fee paying Fanstorian, (Who doesn't poke around much, exploring all of the features of fanstory) and Im sure there are a lot of us feral feeling, fee paying Fanstorians out there, I am not afraid to ask some questions on the behalf of all of us. After all, I am of the belief that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people who don't ask questions. And I'm willing to maybe admit that I only just now realized that I am stupid in this area... lol.
But I have some questions in regards to this nebulous seeming Fanstory contest committee:
Who is in this committee ?
How many members are there?
How do they get on the committee?
Does its makeup ever change ?
Are they truly representing of the differing worldviews and diversity of the fanstory community?
Are they truly unbiased?
Are the identities of the contest entry writers hidden to the judges?
If not, what keeps the judges from voting for their personal favorite writers? ( lining the accounts of their faves with fs dollars) or at least, what keeps them from being more apt to only vote for the voices that say the kinds of things that the judges want to hear?
Are the entries judged as standalone writings? ( Not influenced by the write's promotion, ranking or feedback)
Do these supreme Fanstory Court judges have to pass some kind of secular humanist "litmus test" to get on the committee? lol. ( bonus question)
These are all quite pertinent questions. Especially in light of the fact that the writing of poetry is an art form that is highly subjective. And it's judgement would be more prone to the subjective issues (and lucrative to some,) judging biases that I raise. I know that prose writing and the judgement of it, for technical things, like form, and grammar and perhaps paragraph structure ... especially in something like an essay, can be more objectively judged. ( But that isn't at all the bread and butter of Fanstory)
In regards to the poetry and poetry as an art form ( that ironically seems tied to popularity contests), my raised points and questions could use some answers. I know...we write for the enjoyment of it. But it seems that the tables could be tilted a bit, and that lucrative "judgement reward ball" seems to always roll into those more popular, or "favored" holes. I'd appreciate anyone sharing their input or answers to some of these questions.

Sarkems: Hi DJ. We don't know who the committee are. The reason being that the committee is apparently made up of other members who probably don't want people sending them death-threats when they don't win contests, lol. I'm not a popular/favourite 'hole' myself, so beyond that, I can't help you. And someone's probably going to tell me I'm wrong in my first statement, but that's always been my understanding.
Gloria ....: Good morning, D. How wonderful to see today. :) In answer to your questions:
No idea, I'm not, and have never been on the committee.
No idea, I'm not on the committee.
That is a logical fallacy, D. Can you honestly say your questions here are unbiased?
Yes, writer identities are hidden. I know this because Tom said so in the General forum years ago.
Yes. Blind contests only reveal the writing under review.
I disagree with your biased assessment about the difference between poetry and prose. Poetry is as organized and subjected to "rules" as any type of prose writing including essays. When it comes to judging poetry anywhere in this world each form is analyzed by certain criteria, starting with the highly structured sonnet, which includes a thesis, antithesis, and synthesis written with a clearly defined metre and rhyme pattern, to the seeming lack of structure implied by the title free verse. Chief among these rules are grammar, adherence to form, gaps in reasoning, use of mixed metaphors, lack of literary devices, disjointed or absent imagery, clarity, uneven metre use of cliches to name but a few in the template of adjudicating poetry.
I have a question for you. What motivated you to raise these concerns?
djeckert: Hey sark and G. Thanks for attempting to answer my questions. G, I do find it a bit strange that you claim to not know anything on the answers when it comes to the identities of these judge members ( which I will get in to) , but then are quite seemingly knowledge filled in other areas of it. I'm not necessarily implying anything, just observing. As far as your point about poetry being quite " defined", I'll let you run with that definition, I guess in the same way that we can define the terms " healing" , "disease" and "cures" when it comes to the powers that make the rules . ( In the world of " health care, it's the POOP controlled AMA , insurance companies and well paid medical boards...oh yeah , and big pharma...duh...can't forget that one. ) Although I don't think that there is a POOP ruler of "poetry" , I'm sure that the Halls of the universities throughout the world instructing on "proper poetry" just picked up " through some " poetical osmosis" on that power of 'top down' authority from just hanging around it, in the POOP filled University and academia, and collecting their tenure, and paychecks and book deals ,and publishing royalties, much like all of the other game playing, POOP controlled academia . I'm fine with that definition that you spew We have bigger fish to fry, I guess. I'll just maybe stop using that apparently copyrighted word, "poetry" all together and just start using the words " creative writing". I said it before, anyways... but for some reason, I personally find
that most formal and classic "poetry" bores the living shit out of me , and it usually comes across to me as sickening and makes me gag when I hear people recite most of it. (especially nature poetry, and love poetry that worships nature and love without worshipping the Loving Creator) But that's just me...I'm sure I'll add to my huge friend FS list with that one. lol. But IDC.
Does it not concern anyone else? ( I hope it does) this hidden top down control of who gets to collect these 100 dollar (or more? ) contest money prizes , real dollars or not.(that's a lot of dollars... real or not running through that system) Does it not strike anybody else as another one of those monopolies that we ALL seem to at least claim that we despise? The "royal, chosen, nebulous ones" deciding who gets paid and who doesn't. Who gets to decide to promote their agendas, or thoughts and ideas with no worries , and who doesnt. ( all in the cover of darkness) After all, we ALL write to try to communicate ideas, and would love a fair shake in this.
I see Emma's point about judges needing anonymous status, but I would think that some kinds of controls should be in order, or at least a disclosure of what those controls are, and who controls the controls? and how and why?
I pretty much said WHY I ask those questions G... they have always been burning a bit at my craw.
Oh it's a bit interesting too, that you didn't even attempt to answer my secular humanist question
Blessings to both of you ladies and thanks for your input
Gloria ....: Are you implying I'm lying about not being on the contest committee, D? But then falsely accusing others of lying is par for the course with you isn't it? Who can forget you accusing a fellow FanStorian of being a liar because you said Alex Jones never once said the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax. And well the fact is, Jones did say it and broadcast it on his own InfoWars channel too. How many families have sued Alex Jones for damages caused by his massive lie about Sandy Hook? I can guarantee you, I am not on the committee. I shall await your apology. :)
djeckert: Hey G,
you say,
How many families have sued Alex Jones for damages caused by his massive lie about Sandy Hook?
It was NEVER " his lie" , G. How about all of the MSM news reports that claim that he wrote a book about it? Never happened. Now THERE is a lie. ( that he'll probably sue over and win, open and shut)
But How many have successfully sued Jones on this? and not had their case thrown out?
That is perhaps a more pertinent question G.
I'm not sure I ever said he NEVER said it. I more than likely said that he backed off of it very quickly, because he saw it was a trap. THE trap that you still like to try and spring ,G.
I can guarantee you, I am not on the committee. I shall await your apology. :)
No apologies necessary from me, G. I never accused you of such things. Yet, me doth think thee protests too much. That taint any kind of apology nor shall you ever get one from me. But nice try. I hope you don't hold your breath.
Gloria ....: Of course it was a rhetorical statement as I know you will never apologize even when you are wrong.
But this has me wondering what you mean?
I more than likely said that he [Jones] backed off of it very quickly, because he saw it was a trap.
What was a trap? Are you suggesting the Sandy Hook massacre was a trap?

damommy: I think you two have fallen of the track of the original questions and have brought politics into 'Profile Thoughts.' Regarding the Committee, does it matter all that much? Really?
djeckert: Our world seems to have been successfully divided into two groups
One group that says, "Good Lord!, exactly how stupid does the mainstream media think that we are"?
And the other group
that says, "Exactly!, Thank the man for the mainstream media"

WryWriter: That's state taxes!

djeckert: I think I figured out why "classic" nature poetry usually somewhat bores me.

My company (Login Consultants) uses a VMware Horizon DaaS environment for testing and demonstration purposes. We have multiple kinds of desktop pools, including Windows 10 persistent and non-persistent VDI. Among other application virtualization solutions, we used ThinApp 5.2.0 for application delivery.
ThinApp 5.2.0 was released specifically to include Windows 10 support, but from start I always had issues with performance, especially with application startup times.
It wasn't until I recently visited the VMware Communities for ThinApp I found out ThinApp version 5.2.2 was released already three months ago, in November 2016.
Reading the Release Notes, one of the Resolved Issues states "ThinApp applications take twice as long to open in Windows 10".
Relinking is faster and easier than rebuilding. One major advantage of using relink is you do not need the ThinApp application project directory; all you need is the bin directory for the virtual package.
The relink executable is found in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware ThinApp" folder after installing the ThinApp 5.2.2 installer package.
After the relink operation is completed, a new ThinApp executable is created in the same folder as the original executable. The original executable itself is renamed as .BAK file.
So let's compare the ThinApp 5.2.0 and 5.2.2 startup times to see if VMware can keep their promise!
As shown in below table, the decrease of the application startup times is really significant!
Please note: As you can see, I used fairly simple software packages to demonstrate the application startup time differences."Advanced" software packages might show different results.
When running Windows 10 and using ThinApp for application delivery, I think it's fair to say it's a must to upgrade to version 5.2.2. The upgrade path is quite easy and straightforward. The release notes are confirmed; we see a 2-3 times better application startup time!

Mary Capen: Explorer at Heart
Centralia College Nursing Professor Mary Capen loves a good book and a great adventure. A lifelong reader, she often becomes infatuated with a certain writer. She once read all of Hermann Hesse's work and this year, she's hooked on Dickens. "If I really like an author, I'm probably going to read everything they wrote," she said.
Unlike some, her exploits are not limited to the page. As a young woman, she set off into the world to see what she could discover. She took a road trip across the United States and journeyed to Nepal and Thailand. She recently traveled to Europe, and hopes to go to Guatemala next summer. "I learned a lot by leaving and going to a third world country when I was 20," she said. "You can't believe that it's the same planet you live on. The psychology is so different."
After returning to the States, Capen found a job as a caregiver. She thought it was just a way to replenish her bank account but discovered much more. "I found it to be the most rewarding job I ever had," she said. "I didn't know you could feel rewarded in what you did. So I stayed."
After her daughter, Julia, was born, Capen took her to work with her. This flexibility was another important benefit of the job and, combined with her natural affinity for the work, spurred her on to get her LPN and RN from Centralia College. Thanks to scholarships, she graduated debt-free.
While in school, Capen put her skills to good use as a healthcare assistant at an internal medicine office and in an adult family home. She took her daughter to work at the family home with her, which was the perfect fit for a single mom. "I loved it and I loved geriatrics," she said. "That knowledge was super helpful all through my life."
Her accumulated wisdom proved especially helpful when her father was diagnosed with early onset dementia. During what can be a bewildering time, Capen's experience provided peace and insight. "Families who don't have that experience have such a rougher time," Capen said. "We all had a really clear understanding of what was going on."
After graduating from Centralia College's RN program, Capen went to work at a walk-in clinic. "I was the only triage nurse in the office, so I learned a lot," she said.
Capen was then hired at Providence clinic, where she became trained in a variety of settings. "I started assisting in surgery and then with C-sections," she said.
Along the way, she decided to go back to school to earn her degree, which had become an important qualification in the industry. She earned her bachelor's from the University of Phoenix and her master's from Grand Canyon University. "I loved online schooling," she said. "The schedule was really important to me so I could spend time with my daughter."
Of all her interests and responsibilities, Capen is crystal clear on where her priorities lay. "I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her," she said. "I want her to know that I'm here. She's the top priority."
While she was completing her master's, a teaching job opened at Centralia College. Capen was a natural fit. She especially enjoys shepherding in the next generation of nurses. "They get really stressed out in nursing school," she said. "We help them find resources so they can make it to their goals and we encourage them to take care of themselves throughout the program. It's a stressful career but I think being a nurse makes it easier to be a good person. You're not judgmental to patients. Your job is to take care of them, not to make them think like you do. You just accept them in all sorts of forms. That, in general, has helped me become a better teacher and a better person."
Capen earned tenure in April 2019. "It's nice," she said. "I feel like getting tenure means you've kind of proven you can teach and get the feedback from students. That's what means the most to me."
Now she's shifting her focus to departmental goals like earning national accreditation and completing a 35-page simulation manual. "It's hugely important for the growth of the program," she said. "And national accreditation will allow our students to work anywhere."
Capen thoroughly enjoys working at Centralia College and takes advantage of every opportunity it offers. She's taken several classes out of sheer enjoyment, including a particularly memorable observational astronomy class last summer. "I saw all Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings and Andromeda," she said. "It was really cool."
She's currently filling in as the Outdoors Club advisor. The group engages in a wide variety of outdoor adventures including mushroom picking, clam digging, backpacking, and more.In her spare time, she paints, gardens, crochets and, of course, reads as much as she can.
She and Julia, now 16, recently returned from a trip to Paris. Capen was excited to share her love of travel with her daughter. "We got to see Notre Damebefore it burnt," she said.
She also recently hiked to the top of Mount Saint Helen's with her sister. "I wanted to do it before I was 40," she said. "We prepared ourselves really well." Next she has her eye on Mount Adams and, perhaps someday, even Rainier.
When asked what she's most proud of in her life, Capen said, "I'm most proud of not giving up. I create goals for myself and I usually always reach them. I knew I could climb Mount Saint Helens because I can do goals. Getting my master's degree was a goal. You can get overwhelmed but I always have little goals to get to the big goals. I meet my goals and I'm not easily discouraged."

Q: How to read file in React js? i want to read csv file in reactJS. i am trying file system ('fs') but it is not working.
Below is my same working code in nodejs,but it i not working in ReactJs. can somebody guide me how to read file in React js. Do we have any simple method for this ? i just want to read file from same project directory.
Working code in node js
const CSVToJSON = require("csvtojson");
const CSVToCSV = require("jsontocsv");
const FileSystem = require("fs");

CSVToJSON().fromFile("./ca-500.csv").then(source => {
    console.log(source);
})

But when tried in React js it is giving below mentioned error
Error: Cannot find module 'fs'

A: you can try react-csv-reader
npm install --save react-csv-reader
example
Usage
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import CSVReader from 'react-csv-reader'

class App extends Component {
  ...

  render() {
    return (
      <CSVReader
        cssClass="csv-reader-input"
        label="Select CSV with secret Death Star statistics"
        onFileLoaded={this.handleForce}
        onError={this.handleDarkSideForce}
        inputId="ObiWan"
        inputStyle={{color: 'red'}}
      />
    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'))

Alternatively you can use React File Reader
npm install react-file-reader --save
<ReactFileReader handleFiles={this.handleFiles} fileTypes={'.csv'}>
    <button className='btn'>Upload</button>
</ReactFileReader>

handleFiles = files => {
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function(e) {
    // Use reader.result
    alert(reader.result)
    }
  reader.readAsText(files[0]);
}

example
If you just want read a local file you can use papaparse
npm install papaparse
import React from 'react';
import Papa from 'papaparse';

class DataController extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
            data: []
        };

        this.getData = this.getData.bind(this);
    }

    componentWillMount() {
        this.getCsvData();
    }

    fetchCsv() {
        return fetch('./ca-500.csv').then(function (response) {
            let reader = response.body.getReader();
            let decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');

            return reader.read().then(function (result) {
                return decoder.decode(result.value);
            });
        });
    }

    getData(result) {
        this.setState({data: result.data});
    }

    async getCsvData() {
        let csvData = await this.fetchCsv();

        Papa.parse(csvData, {
            complete: this.getData
        });
    }

    render() {
        return (

                ...

        );
    }
}

export default DataController;

A: i have found the correct solution. it was answered below some other question.
Here is the link to that question.
How should I parse this json object in react with lifecycle method?
and the correct working code
import React, {Component} from 'react';

import './App.css';

import * as d3 from 'd3';

import data from './data_set/data.csv';

class App extends Component {

constructor(props) {
    super(props)
}

componentDidMount() {

    d3.csv(data).then(function(data) {
        console.log(data)
    }).catch(function(err) {
        throw err;
    })
}

render() {

    return (

 Data Visualization

        );
    }
}

export default App;

A: You can use FileReader onload methods to read the file data
You can find this useful to handle files using File Reader in React ReactJS File Reader

PRICHARD COMMITTEE FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Since 1983, the Prichard Committee has worked to study priority issues, inform the public and policy makers about best practices and engage citizens, business leaders, families, students, and other stakeholders in a shared mission to move Kentucky to the top tier of all states for education excellence and equity for all children, from their earliest years through postsecondary education.
Thanks to the efforts of the Committee and dedicated citizens, Kentucky has moved from the bottom of the national rankings in education to the middle and above. Our ambitious goal is to move to the top tier of all states within this generation.
The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence emerged from the vision of Edward F. Prichard and his desire to increase the quality of Kentucky education. The Committee was an outgrowth of a state government council to improve higher education and reorganized in 1983 as a citizens' group to champion the cause of better schools, taking the name of its first chair. When Prichard died in 1984, his friend and colleague, Bob Sexton, took over leadership of the Committee and transformed it into a nationally recognized, private, non-partisan advocacy organization. Sexton and the Committee were instrumental in ensuring the passage of 1990's Kentucky Education Reform Act, a national model for education reform, and subsequent legislation and programs designed to elevate Kentucky to the top tier of education excellence. Although Sexton died in 2010, the Committee continues his legacy of studying, informing and engaging citizens in improving education excellence for all Kentuckians.

Prichard Committee Papers at the University of Kentucky
Who Was Ed Prichard?
The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence is named for Edward F. Prichard, a Bourbon County, Kentucky, lawyer, political reformer and lifelong advocate for the role of excellent education in building a civil and prosperous society. A graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, Prichard clerked for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter and helped craft Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal while working in the White House. Prichard was considered by many intellectuals, academicians and politicians to be one of the brightest young minds of his generation. His intellectual brilliance was counter-balanced with a trait that historian Arthur Schlesinger called "a fine but dangerous carelessness." A target of J. Edgar Hoover's campaign to discredit New Deal politics, Prichard was convicted of election fraud in Kentucky in 1949. Although he was pardoned by President Harry Truman, the scandal wounded Prichard's political career. He became a trustworthy advisor to Kentucky policy makers and in 1966 was appointed to the State Council on Higher Education by Governor Edward Breathitt. From that position, Prichard engineered the rise of Kentucky's education system out of out of mediocrity. After serving 14 years on the Council, Prichard became chairman of a citizen's advocacy committee for excellent education, later named the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. The committee's first report, "In Pursuit of Excellence,"is the Committee's seminal work and is considered a national model. Prichard died in 1984. His unwavering belief that "opening a way to a larger life was education's aim" is the legacy that animates the Committee's work to this day.

"I always was a huge sports fan," recalls Aaron Levine of the reason for his career choice.
Levine was once a contestant on an ESPN reality show "Dream Job." The premise of the show was for aspiring sportscasters to compete on the show with the winner getting a contract to be a sportscaster on ESPN. Even though he was the runner-up, you can argue that he still has his dream job. As sports director for Q13, Levine is the primary sports anchor for evening broadcasts and heads up Seattle Seahawks sports programming on the network.
Levine's mother, who is Filipino, nurtured his interest in sports at an early age growing up in Calabasas, Calif., a city north of Los Angeles. Levine grew up rooting for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers. He scored an internship, at age 16, at the Fox Sports News affiliate in Los Angeles working for its highlights department. He also worked as a stringer for the Los Angeles Daily News, attending local high school games and writing brief summaries.
He continued his pursuit of his dream while attending Stanford University. A golfer, Levine attempted to walk on to the Stanford golf team. Although that did not work out, it left him the opportunity to write for the Stanford Daily. Levine earned a degree in History, as Stanford did not have a broadcast journalism program.
In order to learn more about broadcast journalism, he took a class between his sophomore and junior year at NYU over the summer. In 2004, there came the chance of a lifetime—a casting call for a reality show on ESPN which would give the winner a chance to be an ESPN sports anchor.
"Of course I had to enter," recalls Levine. Over 10,000 people attended talent searches nationwide and Levine was one of 12 selected to compete.
"Ignorance was bliss," Levine said of his experience. "I wasn't trained to be on camera. I hadn't had a lot of experience at all… Had I realized the magnitude of what I was doing, I probably would have stumbled." Levine came up just short of winning, as he was runner-up to winner Mike Hall.
Even with the loss, Levine saw a silver lining. "Best thing that ever happened to me is that I didn't win the show… I wasn't ready." Levine believed that he needed more seasoning as a broadcast journalist.
"He (Hall) won a job on ESPN, and I won a free ticket to Bakersfield, California," Levine joked. In hindsight, Levine saw the job in Bakersfield as an opportunity in disguise. He was able to report on all facets of sports for the region.
After two years in Bakersfield, Levine received a job offer with a Fox affiliate in Portland, Ore., but he had an opportunity for a lunch meeting with a news director in Seattle before moving. He took a detour to Seattle "to plant a seed for the future" prior to starting his job in Portland. Levine had sought an opportunity with KCPQ 13, but was informed that no spot existed. But the lunch meeting persuaded management. "I'll never forget that before I hopped onto the plane,I got a call from the news director saying, 'We don't want you to go to Portland, we want you to come work for us in Seattle.'" Levine took the offer in January 2007. "I consider myself extremely lucky for getting the job here." Levine has been with the channel ever since.
He was promoted to sports director for KCPQ-13 in January 2009. His responsibilities now include anchoring the nightly sportscast, including Sunday night's QitUp Sports, Seahawks Gameday, Seahawks Saturday Night, and his weekly Sunday night editorials.
As his position has expanded, he has been able to work in some entertainment to his sportscasts, including having his mom as a guest to pick NFL football games. Levine's idea for including his mom on the show was due to David Letterman. On Letterman's Late Night show, he brought in his mother in on various skits. "One of the biggest reasons I'm a big sports fan is because of my mom," said Levine of his mom who scours the web for sports news.
As far as advice for the young aspiring sports broadcasters, Levine advises internships. In the event that this cannot happen, he indicated that just talking in front of a mirror or turning down the volume of a sports game and giving your own version of the play-by-play helps with practice.
I would be a very proud parent of Aaron for his passion and goal he has had during his youth and adulthood. This also says a lot for his mother as well.
I would enjoy meeting them one day. I used to live close to Calabasas but I have now been in the Northwest retired for 18 years.

Key Assemblymember on fracking panel calls for health study do-over
• Published on October 9, 2013 • Last modified on October 9, 2019
A Binghamton Assemblywoman who is on the Cuomo's Administration's hydro-fracking advisory panel is asking for a do-over of an ongoing heath review, saying the secretive process has compromised public confidence.
Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, a Binghamton Democrat, has written a letter to Cuomo's environmental commissioner, asking that a health review by the governor's Health Commissioner Dr Nirav Shah, to be put on hold. The year long study has been conducted mostly in secret. Her letter, posted on her Facebook page, says in part "In order for the public to have confidence in in New York State's "health impact analysis" of shale fracking, a comprehensive public health impact study should be undertaken openly and transparently to resolve all shale fracking concerns once and for all."
Walter Hang, with the anti-fracking group Toxics Targeting, says the letter is significant.
"When someone so low key and behind the scenes as Assemblywoman Lupardo takes such dramatic action, I really think that sends an unmistakable message to Governor Cuomo," Hang said. "This has gone past the point of no return."
Lupardo is the assembly's representative on the Cuomo Administration's fracking advisory board. It has not me in over a year and a half.

CWG 2022: What PM Modi said on team India's silver medal in badminton
Image Source : PTI PV Sindhu celebrates after winning against Malaysias Goh Jin Wei in the Badminton Womens Singles game at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England
CWG 2022: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the silver medal won by India in the team badminton event at the Commonwealth Games will go a long way in making the game even more popular. PM Modi congratulated every member of the squad and said he was proud of their accomplishment.
"Badminton is among the most admired sports in India. The Silver medal in the CWG will go a long way in making the game even more popular and ensuring more people pursue it in the times to come," the prime minister said.
Defending champion India succumbed 1-3 to Malaysia and settled for a silver in the mixed team badminton event at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Tuesday.
Focus on individual event: Sindhu
Country's top women's singles player and the favourite for the women's singles gold medal at the ongoing Commonwealth games, PV Sindhu has called on the players to turn their attention to individual events after their defeat to Malaysia in the Mixed Team competition.
"Now that the team (event) is over, I think it's paramount now to focus on the individuals. I'm hoping for the best, I'm hoping for the gold," she said.
Though Sindhu won her women's singles match, Kidambi Srikanth in men's singles and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty in men's doubles and Treesa Jolly/Gayatri Gopichand lost their respective matches as India went down 1-3 to Malaysia.

The balance between supply and demand that has characterised the GB cattle trade recently has continued in the latest week. Retail demand is reported to be faring well, particularly for specific products being sold under specialised retail schemes. Reports suggest that cattle are being placed easily with processor requirements continuing to drive competition. This is compounded by the fact that the recent bout of fine weather could well have meant that some producers have been focusing on harvest activities rather than the selection of livestock.


2nd Service carried out today on our 2017 Commodore. 8000 miles and 170 nights and all is well.
Some slight shrinking of the mastic around the outside locker doors and peeling of the wall board joining strips inside.
Well done to Leisure World Group Catterick for the swift attention to detail service.
Thank you for the feedback. I will be sure to pass it onto our service department.
Thought you had gone into hiding Vicky!
Ha ha ha . .. no. I pop on and off a couple of times a week so I'm always around to DM if anyone wants me.
Will be in to see the rest of the family on North Yorks rally end of month.
Gosh ... it does not seem a year since the last one. Mum and Dad were up last week at the Motorhome event but I wasn't able to make that one.
Hi my 2017 has the same problems. Hymer have accepted a warranty claim for the sealant. However deny responsibility for the jointing tape. Does anyone know where I can find the correct one to replace it myself?
It is the responsibility of the dealership to fix the jointing tape under CRA 2015 as it is an inherent fault. It has happened with just about every caravan that has rolled off the line. Before we even took delivery the jointing tape was peeling back. It is not your concern that Elddis are refusing a warranty claim for the jointing tape.
I was at the caravan show in Glasgow last week and had a look in the new Commadore on the stand and noticed that most of the jointing strips were faulty and that is on a show van. Listened to a few people commenting about it.
I think the issue applies to just about every brand. On a previous Lunar Delta we had the "D" shape trunking fitted over the joins. It looked neat and never had an issue with the tape peeling again.
Just starting our third season in the Commodore. Took it locally for a few days to run it up and debug the system before coming South.
It had been laid up since November, jacks extended and front raised as far as I dared to improve water run off.
Very pleased to report that with one exception everything fired up and is working perfectly.
The exception was that the battery was down at 12v and the smart charger I use at home indicated 60% capacity which was alarming for a 3yr old battery. I use a Ring smart charger which I find so effective I reckon it could raise the dead. Which it did.
Anyway fault traced to an unsecured wire on the Truma charger connection to the panel. Clearly this was badly done at the factory as the terminal was tightly screwed down not gripping the wire at all. It must have been just touching most if the time and finally shook out. Fixed and fine now.
Hi Ian. I hope the others from our once vociferous group also have similar stories to tell.
We have done about 100 nights/year since getting the van, so a similar story to yours.
On looking through our records I see our 2012 Cilpper lasted 23 months before the nearside cracked. So I am not complacent!
Could not decide where to put this but I think we have lamented the poor performance of the Thetford Aspire 2 grill before so I thought I'd post it here for potential fellow sufferers.
Wet and windy day in Devon so I thought I'd sort it. Had to take cooker out to get to grill jet housing and found a lot of red-brown dust. Not sure if it was gas borne or in the pipes when assembled. Anyway its sorted and working perfectly.
Previously I paid local repair man £20 to fix it but he only did it from front with air line which of course solved nothing.
She is just 2yrs old. I'll have a look at the rubber hose although I'd be surprised if it had gone. I'd suspect it was muck in the pipes left over from assembly which has made its was along. We are only on our 3rd or 4th gas bottle in all this time but I suppose it could also be contamination from the "Lites" which are now being withdrawn.
TBH I just don't know.
I could do with some of this too Ian.
I occasionally re-iron the tape via a cotton cloth and it sticks for a while but then the edges lift again.
As for the external mastic on arches and lockers, I see there is some separation round the wheel arches and I had one trim panel on the rear N/S corner replaced but it is cracking again. Cosmetic stuff but irritating.
Had a look at the gas tails and although the van is only 2yrs old I had transferred them from previous Bucs. One was 2011 and the one in use was 2016. Neither showed any signs of the red dust. However, I'll replace them both.
So another issue reared it's head as pictured. A red oily liquid present at both ends of the working gas tail when released.
Talking to on site Caravan service guy as we left he said Calor had had trouble with oil in cylinders and had been in court with Truma over it. Our Gas Lite cylinders are little used so I think they'll be a year or more old. I think I'll change them both too.
I hope oil has not spread into gas changeover valve or further in to systems.
I'm not sure I understand this oily residue business. Most of caravanning is off grid so we go through a lot of gas. We have had one truma regulator fail about 6-7 years ago since then same regulator actually a cavnga unit no problem but I know of plenty of people who are still on the original regulator and use a lot of gas and haven't had a problem. What I am trying to say is it doesn't seem that the problem is related to the amount of gas that is used.
Re: Safefill, Like them so much I have 2 of them. I bought the latest in September last year and on Sunday I filled it and I can't remember if that was the 5th or 6th time. Makes a lot of sense for me but if I was getting through 6kg a year I don't think it is worth it. Just my opinion.
Fair enough and by the way I'd say that I am not connecting the dust in the blocked grill jet with the oily drip I found on both ends of the pigtail. I was disconnecting the pigtail to check if it was crumbling inside; it was not but it was a few years old so I have changed it for a two year old one and intend to buy another tomorrow. Starting afresh and hoping that the reddish oil has not gotten into the auto-changeover valve which I presume is also a regulator. It was all working properly so I think not.
I have 2 Calor Gas-lite cylinders and I checked the empty one at home by inverting and opening the valve. There was no residue in the output so I am assuming that the partially full one is the only one affected. We only use between one and two cylinders a year and always singly to keep noseweight down so the auto-changeover function is never exercised.
I have looked on line and seen that this issue stretches back to 2010 and there were a lot of posts on this forum during 2013 concerning Truma v Calor. I see the layout issues being mentioned and the use of filters and I am wondering about fitting one as an additional safeguard.
Any advice from those that have been through this issue is welcomed.
Similarly I know nothing about Flowgas. Better look that up.
Presumably, both Calor and Flogas buy their gas from the major oil companies as the gas is a fraction of the crude oil. Re Safefill, I now fill mine out my local Morrisons less than a mile from where we live and currently 55.7p a litre, so 6kg costs approximately £7. However I have seen the tanker that delivers the bulk gas and it says Calor all over it. So if you think that the gas is the source of the oil then I can't see that what I put in my Safefill is any difference to the Gas in your Calorlite.
I would assume that the Auto change over fitted to the Buccaneer is also the regulator, this looks identical to the one I have fitted. For you about as useful as a chocolate teapot, for me the second best gadget ( after the solar panel ) I have ever fitted. Just goes to show that we all use our vans in different ways.
Regarding the oil filters, these look the same as the one fitted to compressed airline to trap oil, it would be interesting to know the price difference.
I don't think anyone has really got to the bottom of the oil problem but it did seem to correspond to introduction of pigtails and bulkhead regulators.
Its well documented (and I did the links years ago) that the oil is the plasticisers displaced from the rubber hose by the LPG gas, the advice then as now was to use the stainless steel hose.
At the time it was advised that the regulators were fitted higher than the bottle so the liquid drained back to the bottle rather than cure the plasticiser problem.

The statistics are unchanged in 20 years: about a quarter of the 600,000 bridges in the United States are in need of replacement. Yet built of better materials, bridges could last as long as 100 years, according to Lawrence Technological University researcher Dr. Nabil Grace. He is developing various uses - including bridge construction - for carbon fiber reinforced polymers.
Southfield, Mich. – Nabil Grace has been named the first university distinguished professor at Lawrence Technological University by the Board of Trustees.
Grace is chair of the Civil Engineering Department and director of the Center for Innovative Materials Research (CIMR) at Lawrence Tech.
The university distinguished professor is the highest faculty rank at Lawrence Tech. It is awarded for exemplary achievements that have brought special distinction to the university. A university distinguished professor must demonstrate excellent teaching skills in addition to widely recognized accomplishments and extensive publications.
Grace is best known for his research on bridge design methods that take advantage of carbon-fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). Unlike steel that is typically used for structural reinforcement, CFRPs won't deteriorate quickly when exposed to water, salt and chemicals.
He has a patent for hybrid ductile fabric, an unusual combination of carbon and glass fibers that can be used to reinforce bridges and buildings.
Under Grace's leadership, Lawrence Tech developed its Center for Innovative Materials Research with the help of a five-year, $11 million cooperative agreement involving both the Army Research Laboratory and the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). The $3.2 million research facility opened this year.
Grace also is the principal investigator for a three-year, $899,996 grant awarded in September by Michigan's 21st Century Jobs Fund to develop, implement and commercialize new materials and engineering practices that are expected to double the lifespan of highway bridges that use box-beam construction.
Grace did his undergraduate work at the University of Cairo in Egypt and earned a master's degree and Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Windsor. He joined the Lawrence Tech faculty in 1988.
Lawrence Technological University, www.ltu.edu, offers more than 60 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. Founded in 1932, the 5,000-student, private university pioneered evening classes nearly 75 years ago, and today has a growing number of weekend and online programs. Lawrence Tech's 125-acre campus is in Southfield, with education centers in Livonia, Clinton Township, Traverse City, and Petoskey. Lawrence Tech also offers programs with partner universities in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia.
The American Consulting Engineers Council (ACEC) of Michigan, and the Michigan Society of Professional Engineers awarded the engineering design and research team the Eminent Conceptor Award the highest award for engineering excellence for outstanding achievement for an engineering or surveying project.
At the ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards Gala in Washington D.C., Lawrence Tech President Charles M. Chambers accepted the ACEC Honor Award, along with Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence and HRC Vice President George Hubbell. The annual ACEC Engineering Excellence design competition celebrates the greatest engineering achievements of the year that demonstrate the highest degree of merit and ingenuity.
Both awards recognized HRC's outstanding engineering work and the pioneering efforts of Nabil Grace, professor and chair of civil engineering at Lawrence Tech. Over a 10-year period, Grace developed a revolutionary concept using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) in prestressed concrete highway bridges. Grace and a team of Lawrence Tech students performed extensive laboratory testing, funded by the National Science Foundation and others, to prove the strength of the innovative CFRP design. These government-funded investigations were conducted in the Structural Testing Center (STC) at Lawrence Tech. The state-of-the-art STC is one of the largest such testing facilities in Michigan.
As a result of Grace's research, the University collaborated with HRC and the City of Southfield to replace the outbound lane of the failing Bridge St. Bridge as a full-scale national demonstration project using the new technology. Computer sensors placed in the new Bridge St. Bridge allow the design team and the City to monitor the bridge's performance over time, and compare it to the performance of the conventional steel-reinforced span that carries in-bound traffic. The $8 million project was built with funding from the Federal Highway Administration and the City of Southfield.
CFRP products are made from very thin fibers of carbon, about the diameter of a human hair, said Grace. These long fibers are woven together and encased in epoxy to optimize bridge durability. The greatest advantage of the CFRP concept over conventional steel is that it is much less susceptible to corrosion, he explained. Corrosion from deicing chemicals is the leading cause for concrete deck and bridge beam repair and replacement. Therefore, the on-going research will demonstrate the long-term economic benefits of CFRP over conventional steel reinforced bridges.
This is the first completed multi-span concrete highway bridge in the world to be prestressed and reinforced with CFRP tendons and rods instead of metal cables. There are no existing standards developed by private, state or government agencies in the U.S.. Therefore Lawrence Tech, HRC, the City of Southfield, and Japanese manufacturing firms worked together to research the design, coordinate material testing and determine design criteria and construction standards for this unique CFRP bridge design concept.
The Bridge Street Bridge serves as the sole access to over 50 businesses within the Bridge Street Industrial Park, a major artery to Southfield's vital industrial traffic. Using the CFRP design concept, the City has solved a critical infrastructure problem with a unique and first-of-its kind bridge that may very well represent the future of America's highway bridge construction technology.
Other team members on the project included: the University of Windsor; Construction Technology Laboratories, Skokie, Ill.; Prestressed Systems Inc., Windsor Ontario; Mitsui & Co. (USA) Inc., Cleveland; Sumitomo Corporation of America, New York; and Autocon Composites Inc., Toronto.
Lawrence Technological University offers nearly 50 undergraduate, masters and doctoral degree programs in Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Management. Lawrence Tech pioneered the offering of day and evening classes 70 years ago, and now has a growing number of weekend programs. The University's Division of Continuing Education offers courses in leadership and management, computer science, insurance, engineering and more. Lawrence Tech also is home to the Advanced Technology Academy, a charter high school offering a challenging curriculum closely linked to the University's academic mission.
