Efficient heat
By Treena Hein
The latest on energy-efficient construction heating solutions.
Indirect-fired units are placed outside the building or structure being constructed. They generate heated air that is moved inside through ductwork. While the equipment is generally not moved during the project, the ductwork can be moved around as necessary. ALL PHOTOS: cavalier industries
Like any other powered piece of rental equipment, heating solutions for construction sites are now more energy efficient than ever. "The industry has been steadily increasing its focus on becoming more environmentally responsible," says Ryan Grey, North American sales manager at Manitoba-based Tamarack Industries.
"You see it displayed on every jobsite with contractors using more and more battery-powered equipment, propane generators and Tier 4 Final diesel engines, to name a few. Heat has been an area where there has been significant improvement environmentally."
Construction site heating systems come in three formats: electric, direct-fired and indirect-fired. Electric heaters can provide radiant heat or have a heating coil and fan. They certainly have their place in some applications, offering no emissions, good safety and simple use. However, they can be expensive depending on the electricity rate, model and space to be heated. They also aren't an easy option at building sites in the early stages where electricity is not yet hooked up.
Direct-fired heaters burn propane or natural gas from portable tanks. They must be secured properly inside a building, caged and placed away from combustible materials. They also must be moved around within the building as needed. Indirect-fired units (also called central heating units or CHU) are placed outside and generate heated air that is moved inside through ductwork that can be moved as needed. They are typically not moved or moved very little during the life of a project. They can come in larger capacity format and use one or more fuels.
Dan Dimock, national sales manager at Alberta-based Cavalier Industries, notes that the use of propane and natural gas provides reduced emissions compared to diesel-fuelled heaters. "Respectively, this translates into a 10 to 20 percent CO2 reduction simply by changing fuel source," he explains. "Unfortunately, diesel-fuelled equipment is still quite common."
Having much more efficient heat exchangers and fans, however, maximizes fuel efficiency no matter what fuel is used, reducing emissions and operating costs for customers. Cavalier's Eco Power Equipment provides high-efficiency multi-pass heat exchangers, which are more expensive, says Dimock, but he adds that "over 10 percent efficiency increases over the machine's life can be translated into enormous fuel and emissions savings." The most efficient heaters, he says, can have output adjusted to match application requirements.
To reduce their emissions, Tamarack customers are taking advantage of the firm's natural gas/liquefied petroleum equipment where it's available and practical. "Where it isn't feasible to use those fuels, proper maintenance and installation is helping to keep the oil burners running as efficiently as possible," Grey says.
In Wade Wilken's view, when it comes to a construction site heating system that minimizes fuel consumption and carbon emissions, hydronic heat checks all the boxes. "Once the space is up to temperature, the hydronic system doesn't have to consume as much energy because it only has to re-heat already warm inside air compared to other types of heaters that are always heating outside cold air," explains the vice president of sales and marketing at Manitoba-based DryAir. "Pumping heated fluid from the CHU outside to thermostatically-controlled exchangers inside the structure allows for further gains in fuel efficiency. Once the space is up to temperature, the thermostats on each heat exchanger will turn the fans off. The fluid returns to the central heating unit hot and the CHU burner drops to a low fire, or cycles off completely until the demand for heat returns."
Wilken also notes that systems that have warm air travelling through uninsulated ducts into a building have much more surface area exposed (and therefore more heat lost) to the ambient air before heated air arrives inside the building. DryAir uses rubber hoses which are much smaller and can be easily covered and insulated.
For the environment-conscious user, propane and natural gas are the go-to fuel choices for heaters instead of diesel as they cut down emissions.
While the rental industry finds it challenging to adapt to Tier 4 Final technology, experts suggest that it is the future of heating technology and is here to stay.
In Grey's view, transitioning to Tier 4 Final tech hasn't been easy for the rental industry, with many manufacturers, rental operators and contractors having had difficulties with the new standard. "It isn't going away, so now it adds new challenges for rental operators," he says. "Generators, pumps and heaters have to be properly sized for the application or wet stacking can occur (when unburned fuel passes into the exhaust system and can cause a loss of performance, efficiency and in extreme cases, premature engine failure). Under our Thawzall brand, we currently manufacture a flameless air heater as well as a flameless glycol and air heater. Our design team has developed a state-of-the-art control system that properly manages the load on the engine to eliminate wet stacking."
While these models are currently mostly used on oil and gas sites, with the increasing amount of "green'"initiatives popping up these days, Grey doesn't think it's a stretch to predict Tier 4 Final engines will be the future for general construction heat. This might take the form of a flameless air heater, a glycol heater or a Tier 4 Final generator powering electric heaters. "The industry isn't quite at that point yet," says Grey, "so currently we recommend proper sizing, installation and maintenance to help our equipment be as fuel efficient as possible."
Wilken also encourages rental companies to discuss total operating cost of construction heat systems with their customers. He notes that because fuel is always the most significant expense when it comes to temporary heating, instead of presenting a contractor customer with just a quote on rental rates for the equipment, provide a proposal that shows BTUs required by heater type, fuel costs and rental rates for each type of heater. "With all of that information," he says, "the contractor can make a fully-informed decision on the best solution." DryAir dealers have access to the firm's "temporary heating calculator," which shows BTUs required by heater type (direct, indirect, hydronic and electric) and fuel estimates for each application.
Current and future technologies
Telematics (remote monitoring/control) is becoming more common with jobsite equipment and heaters are no exception. "The demand for telematics is increasing every year," says Grey. "It has value to the rental operator as well as the contractor to be able to determine if their equipment is operating properly. A rental store can track and efficiently maintain their equipment that may have been out on rent for extended periods of time. Without proper maintenance, equipment reliability will suffer."
Telematics can also be a fantastic tool for contractors to monitor their projects and log data," says Dimock. "This data is imperative when using modern construction materials and ensuring that they are given the proper curing environment. This is especially key when dealing with warrantable failures." Wilken echoes these thoughts. "In most applications, our equipment continues to run in the evenings and weekends when most jobsites are empty. The ability for site superintendents to check in on how the heating system is performing, or to receive low temperature alerts in real time, is critical. The technology has been around for a while, but it came at a significant cost and was not always reliable. Telematics systems are more reliable and economical today than ever."

Dr Nathalie Dubois – Lake Sediments Unlock the Past
Sep 12, 2018 | Earth and Environment
People don't often think about mud, but this valuable sediment can record history, especially when deposited in lakes. The study of such lake sediment is known as palaeolimnology – analysing the physical, chemical and biological information preserved in sediments to reconstruct the history of lakes and their surroundings. Dr Nathalie Dubois and her team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag), are pioneering approaches that use fossil molecules (biomarkers) found in lake sediment to understand historical events and search for traces of early human impacts.
Humans Modify Their Environments Through Time
Humans are the only animal species that modify their surroundings on a large scale, leaving markers in the sedimentary record that can be analysed by scientists today. Changes to the landscape are closely related to human history, and Dr Nathalie Dubois and her multidisciplinary team of geologists, chemists, sedimentologists and ecologists seek novel methods to extract these clues.
As humans cut down trees and cultivate the land, nutrients, such as phosphorus or nitrogen, and biochemical markers, such as plant lipids, are released into watersheds (rivers and lakes), modifying the aquatic environment. Understanding how humans change their environments and how these effects have varied over time is of particular relevance in the present day, especially if we are to understand the long-term impacts of human-induced climate change on our surroundings.
Dr Dubois and her PhD student Mischa Haas explored one local example in a recent study. More than 2,000 years ago, when the Romans built the city of Aventicum, the largest city in Switzerland at the time, they began to extensively deforest the region to establish farmland. By analysing a 10-metre sediment core from Lake Murten downstream of the ancient city, the research team was able to show that human activity drastically impacted the lake until the Romans abandoned this city at the end of the 3rd Century AD.
This information was revealed by the amount of soil material suddenly deposited in the sediment, among other things. The team showed that the Romans caused extensive changes to the sedimentary record over a period of more than 300 years. During this time, the bottom of the lake became anoxic – meaning that it was almost entirely devoid of oxygen – leading to the death of many bottom-dwelling creatures. Subsequently, the environment took another 300 years to recover – a result that resonates today. How long will it take our planet to recover, if ever given the chance, from the dramatic changes induced by humans over the past few hundred years?

Reconstructing the History of Farming
One key research area for Dr Dubois and her team involves reconstructing the history of farming. In particular, they are interested in finding out how farming destabilised soils over time as farming techniques evolved. This sedentary mode of life evolved relatively late in human history, and impacts have tended to vary depending on the region and type of farming. Soil erosion due to humans is of particular concern, especially today, as evidenced by recent action plans put in place by many national governments.
To comprehensively assess the effects of varied farming models at different times spanning human history, Dr Dubois and her team analyse seeds and pollen, molecular biomarkers, and radiocarbon in sediment cores. They are currently investigating a range of different sites spanning Switzerland, Russia, Greenland and remote Pacific Islands.
In Europe, initial human activities within an area tend to be marked by the appearance of cereal crops alongside reductions in pollen from local trees. The use of fire to clear the landscape is often indicated by increased charcoal abundance in sediment cores. Animal grazing, on the other hand, is associated with certain kinds of fungi that grow on animal dung.

In one recent project, Dr Dubois and Haas explored the unconventional transition from ploughing to grazing in Russian Karelia. This return to pastures and low-intensity land use occurred when Karelia was politically transferred from Finland to the Soviet Union in the 1940s. The researchers investigated how this key regional political change is reflected in soil erosion over time. They used radiocarbon dating approaches to date different organic fractions within the sedimentary sequences of three lakes and tracked changes in erosion over time.
By radiocarbon dating different sediment fractions, the research team was also able to show that the soil was stable in this region prior to industrialisation. Soil erosion increased dramatically when intensive agricultural practices started as Karelia was part of Finland. Once ceded to the Soviet Union, biomarker distributions and soil erosion indicators show a short period of forest regrowth and soil stabilisation. Since the 1960s, as pastures came to dominate the region, soil erosion decreased to pre-Industrial values, but nutrient inputs started to rise.
This research shows that both soil erosion and stabilisation processes, linked to changes in agricultural practices, can be efficiently tracked using geochemical and sedimentological techniques. The innovative approaches used by Dr Dubois and her team opens the door to quantitatively evaluating human impacts on land use and ecosystems over time.
Migrations and Settlements: The Tropical Pacific
On a more global scale, Dr Dubois and her team also use their skills to address early human migration questions, including those surrounding the settlement of remote Pacific islands. These questions are important in terms of reconstructing human migrations around the world over time, but also because the arrival of people into pristine environments led to dramatic changes. The team uses traces left in lake and swamp sediments to reconstruct such changes. Perhaps more importantly, this knowledge can be applied to predict the likely future effects of human-induced environmental changes.
By pioneering new approaches based on sediment cores from a range of Pacific islands, the team has been able to utilise preserved lipid biomarkers to provide insights to a number of debated questions, including when food production first appeared in the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu. In this project, the team extracted lipids from plants and used them to develop species-specific plant biomarkers to reconstruct vegetation and land-use changes. This approach has proved especially useful in cases where more traditional pollen analyses cannot be performed. In particular, the team was able to use their approach to assess the occurrence of culturally important crop plants, such as Taro (Colocasia esculenta), a tropical crop grown mainly for its edible corms.
Dr Dubois's master's student Christiane Krentscher and postdoctoral researcher Dr S. Nemiah Ladd analysed the lipid content of various plants from Vanuatu using chemical techniques including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This technique allowed them to identify a lipid that was unique to the Taro samples they had collected. This is important, because although this particular lipid has been found in other plants, none in this region of the Pacific are known to produce it in such quantities as Taro.
The identification of Taro in sediment archives from Vanuatu opens the door to determining the history of settlement and subsistence activities on this island with a much higher degree of accuracy than before. It will also help Dr Dubois and her PhD student Giorgia Camperio to clarify the complex interactions between humans and remote tropical environments across Oceania.
In another recent example of their innovative approach, Dr Dubois and her PhD student Ronald Lloren are addressing the greatly debated question of when the Maori people arrived in New Zealand. They are doing so by investigating faecal biomarkers (such as coprostanol), which are related to cholesterol and are found in human waste. This tactic, combined with the analysis of leaf wax data, allows the researchers to evaluate changes in vegetation cover and human presence.

Current Relevance of Palaeolimnology
The usefulness and potential applications of the team's research go way beyond reconstructing historical changes and human impacts. This field of palaeolimnology is key because it is becoming increasingly important to care about the impacts that humans have on their environment. This research can tell us more about how we are harming our planet, and for how long – so that we can start to minimise the damage we cause.
In future work, Dr Dubois and her PhD student Remo Roethlin plan to analyse the heavy metals present in lake sediments to trace and interpret the impacts of mining and industrial developments, including water contamination. This is important because the impacts of past heavy metal contamination on aquatic ecosystems remain poorly understood, especially whether this legacy is still influencing modern ecosystems.

Q: Finding least positive integer $n$ Question is:

find the least positive integer $n$ such that $$274| n^{4}+1$$

Can you give some hint? I know how to prove the existence of such $n$, but don't know how to actually solve it...

A: For $n=41$ we have $n^4+1=41^4+1=2\cdot 137\cdot 10313$. It is not difficult to see that there is no smaller $n$ with $274=2\cdot 137\mid n^4+1$. First, $n$ has to be odd. Then it is enough to solve the congruence $n^4+1\equiv 0 \bmod 137$.

Martin McGuinness: A Derry Man
Posted byThe Gown Queen's University Belfast March 23, 2017 Posted inOpinion, Uncategorized
Fionnbharr Rodgers, Contributor
Recent days been what the laws of probability dictated it would always be: the news that Martin McGuinness died has mostly prompted responses which live on the other side of the sectarian coin as those which responded to the death of Ian Paisley, with one or two exceptions. Gerry Adams praised McGuinness as a 'passionate republican who worked tirelessly for peace and reconciliation and for the re-unification of his country'; Bill Clinton said that McGuinness 'believed in a shared future and refused to live in the past,' and Tony Blair said 'the same fierceness he brought to the armed struggle he brought to the cause of peace,'; and that unhappy breed of Englishmen, represented by the likes of Katie Hopkins and Norman Tebbit, who exhibit an indignation not at all tampered by their ignorance of Irish history, produced the predictable firebrand babble about McGuinness' time as an 'IRA commander.'
Yet, for a life as diverse and complicated as that of Martin McGuinness, it is irresponsible to compartmentalise in such a way. If we must describe him with one, single, and fitting phrase, then the one most appropriate is a 'Derry man'. His life was, in its every aspect, representative of his community. He went from being a civil rights marcher; to a rioter; to a Sticky; to a Provo; to a negotiator; and finally, to a politician. The history of Martin McGuinness is the modern history of Ireland, with all its contradictions and complications, the good and the bad. The Troubles was an era which spanned over three decades, tore communities part and pitted them against one another; many people came out of that period with blood on their hands, some came out of it with blood on their gloves, but if we truly want to memorialise those who suffered history and honour their memory then the best way to do that is to build a country where that can never happen again.
At the end of his life he was not ashamed of his past, though he expressed some remorse, and the day that Northern Ireland can follow suit and deal with 'The Past' in frank and honest dialogue which is not inhibited by bitter hyper-partisanship will be the day that reconciliation will finally take place. The past is what it is, there is no virtue in dwelling in it, but the future lives on the edge of a coin and is entirely ours to create.
As the man himself said in an interview given to Eamonn Mallie, 'I think the work of the last 20 years has been transformative in terms of both security and political situation. I would like to think I have made my own small contribution to all of that. You know, where we are going now is a far better place than where we were 20 years ago and if we keep this going where we will be 10 years from now will be a far better place than where we are at the moment.'
Today we shall be laying to rest a giant of Irish politics who, for better or worse, put his talents to the service of his community and his country.
In response to 'You're Offended? My freedom of speech says "so what".'
Are We Slowly All Becoming 'Catfish'?


Syapse improves patient outcomes by providing workflow solutions that enable cancer care providers to deliver precision medicine within their organization, Ken Tarkoff, the company's CEO, told Evidence-Based Oncologyâ"¢.
HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (HIT) industry veteran Ken Tarkoff, formerly the COO of RelayHealth, joined HIT company Syapse in March 2017 as CEO. Evidence-Based Oncology™ (EBO™) spoke with Tarkoff as he took up this new role.
EBO™: Can you provide an overview of Syapse and the services that the company provides to healthcare systems?
TARKOFF: Our focus is on improving outcomes for cancer patients. We are, at the highest level, doing what we can to improve outcomes. More specifically, the solution we bring to the marketplace is we are a provider-driven network business, where we are providing workflow solutions to our customers to enable them to provide precision medicine in their cancer care areas within their organization.
The product capabilities we bring are a combination of: first, collecting the clinical and molecular data and aggregating that in a visual workflow that allows providers and their staff a longitudinal view of the patient's tumor and their history. We also provide them with additional workflow that gives them access to see similar patients, both within their enterprise and beyond their enterprise, and [grant access to] additional participants within the Syapse network, so they can see common treatments and documentation of outcomes for that [treatment] process.
We also offer, in the network component of our business, a sharing component that allows each of our customers the opportunity to do data exchange. We are also providing more value to the ecosystem as our provider customers are trying to address many of the challenges in getting their patients on a specific therapy and working with other parties in the ecosystem—clinical trial players, pharmaceutical companies and others—to streamline the process and to lower the administrative burden for the providers to get their patients on those therapies.
EBO™: What are the most critical health system requirements to deliver precision treatment to patients with cancer?
TARKOFF: I'd break this into 2 parts: first, the biggest problem is [getting] appropriate testing for the patient and understanding that in the context of the other clinical information that you have available. So, we see inconsistent behavior among our oncology customers. There's different levels of understanding on when it's appropriate to order a test: how you can actually get this information and make it easy to understand and get feedback from others on when best to use these therapies.
Second, underneath all that, one of the reasons why this is complex is that the reimbursement market for these services and this testing is in its early stages and is not well defined. This obviously creates more complexities for the provider organizations and health systems to understand how to deliver more personalized care to the patient when you are trying to navigate all these complexities.
EBO™: What are some of the challenges faced while assimilating patient clinical history, which may live within EHRs of disparate clinics or health systems?
TARKOFF: From my background—prior to joining Syapse, I came from the clinical data and interoperability world where we were focused around health information exchange [HIE]—I'd say that the first part that we are trying to address is the part where someone is from within the system. You need to be able to treat that patient in the community to be able to get access to molecular test data and clinical data to be able to combine them for patient benefit. The issue you raise adds an additional complexity, with a patient who had gone to multiple locations. How you are able to provide care for that patient? That's a more complex problem.
One way we could be tackling that is that if they are a common Syapse customer, we'd be able to get them the information, but we are not yet solving the problem of aggregating patient information from multiple health systems. That is a real problem, but we are not tackling that first. We are trying to help health systems deliver community oncology care, so they have the necessary information available to deliver a more personalized experience, [considering] the complexity of information that they have coming their way. I think, at least within the HIE market, we are ways away from having that type of data access.
EBO™: How does your decision support platform stay updated on the latest clinical developments and treatment guidelines?
TARKOFF: We enable clinical decision support. We are not in the business of providing clinical decision support; it varies by customers. Some customers are more prescriptive, other customers leave it open and only want to share the information on what is happening within their network as a way to guide their behavior.
EBO™: Can health systems use the Syapse platforms to gather quality of care and outcomes data?
TARKOFF: We do capture that information. Today, it's available as reports, and that's one of the areas of focus over the next year. A big part of the next year is not only deploying our customers' oncologist and realizing their value, but also building off that feedback loop. At this stage, what we are doing is capturing that information and allowing them to query it. Within the next year, we will be looking at the insight on how these decisions are being made; that's not a big focus for us this year. This year, we are focused on capturing the information for our patients and making them realize the value of the information that we are helping them capture [through our platform].
EBO™: Can you describe some of your ongoing collaborations?
TARKOFF: We have a lot of things we are doing with Providence [a health system]. We are starting to look at the ways in which they are delivering precision medicine and working with them on some additional product enhancement to support their experiences as they have been delivering that care in their markets. Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health are new customers of ours, and there are a number of different strategic initiatives with them that we are planning on rolling out later this year.
We have started to work with some payer associations and a pharma company to help them get patients on to therapies by removing some administrative burdens. We are capturing some information from providers for payers so that they can track that and use it for specific guidance for reimbursement purposes. So, we have a number of initiatives that we plan to announce later this year.
EBO™: Has Syapse been working with independent community practices?
TARKOFF: We would love to work with independent practices, but the problem is the complexity of how you get to them—building the interoperability and getting all the price points right for standalone practices. So, we are looking at other partnerships that will get us through to the independents that are not associated with any health systems. We are, however, a little away from signing up 1-doc practices. The complexity of the technology integration as well as the training and implementation, in terms of the price point for a single-doc practice, we are not at the retail level, we are more at the health system level.
I'd love to be able to offer a consumer-level retail offering, but I don't think we are there yet.

In the early stages of investigation, Libyan officials do not suspect terrorism in the crash of an Airbus A330 Wednesday just short of the Tripoli International Airport runway on final approach. At least 96 of the 104 died on board the Afriqiyah Airways flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to the Libyan capital. Flight Global reports the aircraft, confirmed by Airbus as serial number 1024, had completed just 1,600 hours in 420 flights prior to the crash.
Libyan officials reported one Dutch child survivor from the flight. Witnesses said it "exploded on landing."
UPDATE: Reuters reports that the Airbus involved in the crash had passed European spot checks.
Production of the mostly composite Lear 85 (pictured above) is on schedule, according to a report posted by AVWeb. Part assembly will begin in July in Mexico. The jet will be the first made by an American company to include Category 1 and Category 2 aircraft parts manufactured south of the border. Assembly will take place in Wichita, with the earliest deliveries arriving in 2013.
Meanwhile, delivery of the HondaJet again has been delayed until late 2012. An AP report cites a Honda spokesman blaming the second setback of a year or more on supplier delays of getting "unspecified major components" to the manufacturer.
Matt Thurber of AIN reports that Chevron Global Aviation will cease marketing Chevron and Texaco aviation fuel in 27 states, beginning Nov. 15. Chevron's distributor, Hiller/Air Petro, will continue serving operators in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.
In the realm of aviation economics and adding to the continued release of first-quarter reports, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association says piston aircraft shipments for the first three months of the year were off by more than 7 percent, while turboprop shipments dropped by 32.6 percent and jet deliveries sunk 14 percent, to 164 total. However, total billings increased by 7.1 percent.

Read Harvard Magazine's 1984 cover story on the team early in its history.
We are delighted to add women's rugby as our twenty-first varsity sport for women. We are proud to be the largest intercollegiate athletic program in the country and to have the greatest number of intercollegiate athletic opportunities for women of any college or university nationwide. We have been impressed by our team's enthusiastic engagement in their sport as well as the explosive growth of rugby as a sport for women. We hope that our decision will be a catalyst for other schools to follow our lead and consider adding rugby as an intercollegiate sport for women.
That is amazing news! I really believe rugby will become an NCAA sport very soon, and I'm so proud that Harvard and the Radcliffe Rugby program will be at the forefront of that movement. I know we're not the first school to go varsity, but I think Harvard making this switch might be the tipping point for collegiate rugby if it encourages other schools to follow suit.…Rugby requires a good mix of brains and brawn and we all know Harvard has no shortage of smart athletes! I really think the program could become a powerhouse.
After college I played for Beantown, a local women's club in Boston, where I first began to play 7's (the version of the game that will be played in the Olympics). I joined the U.S. Women's National 7s team in 2010 and now train full time at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, as one of eight contracted athletes. I'd love to have a fellow Harvard alumna join me here in the near future!

Mushroom-Inspired Ring With 24,679 Diamonds Breaks Guinness World Record July 26, 2022 (0 comments)
London, United Kingdom--SWA Diamonds, an India-based designer, has set a new record in the Guinness Book of World Records by creating a mushroom-inspired ring featuring 24,679 diamonds.
[Image source: Guinness World Records]
"The mushroom represents immortality and longevity," Abdul Gafur Anadiyan, Managing Director at SWA Diamonds, told GWR.
The announcement notes that SWA Diamonds has named the ring "Ami," which is Sanskrit for immortality, adding that the piece was created to draw attention to the brand.
It took three months to complete the ring. The computer-aided-design (CAD) was 3D printed. The team then poured gold into the 3D-printed mold before placing each natural diamond piece by hand on the base of the 41 unique mushroom petals.
The ring is valued at $95,243 and weighs about three-quarters of a pound.

Hello everyone just bought a rhino 660 wanted to change the engine oil in it. I've been searching and reading about different oils you can use for it. I would like to use a 20w50 since I live in the Arizona heat but what brand do I use ? The yamalube? Or a mobile 1 or what? Any advice would help thanks for your input.
Welcome to the site, I use Rotella 15W 40 same as I use in my F250 diesel. Just be sure that whatever you use it's compatible with the wet clutch.
Mine runs in hot AZ as well. I'm dumping in Rotella 15w40 tomorrow morning too.
I used the Yamalube 20w50 in mine. Its what the dealer recommended to me.
Anyone here use valvoline atv/utv 10w-40? Is it fine for the rhino? Should I return and buy something different?
I ran it in my 450 rhino with no lssues, then decided to go to Rotella when it became Jaso rated.
Mobil1 0W40 EU car formula. I run in Arizona in 123°F heat, no problem.
An oil with no friction modifiers. Valolene makes a good motorcycle oil for wet clutches. Can find it at Walmart.
I did a LOT of dealer work.
Out of the many wet clutches I've had to replace, almost ALL of them had some sort of non-yamalube oil in them. This includes crotch rockets, all sorts of Yamaha ATV's, side-by-side's, dirt bikes, trials bikes, MX. It ranged from Fred's $1.00/qt junk to Amsoil to Mobil 1 to, well you name it. Got into many arguments with people.

Rah* is a Muslim guy in his early 20's, he lives with 3 siblings and his mom. Rah had a spiritual experience where he dreamed about going to a river and finding a letter there and started reading it. A few days later, one of his Christian friends from the village took him on a trip to Jesus' baptismal site near the Jordan River, but it made no sense in his mind. Through divine guidance, the follow up team visited the family of Rah who was taking a day off work. As we shared with the whole family about Jesus, Rah opened up and shared his experience of the dream. Rah knew nothing about Jesus, so we took the opportunity to answer his questions. We told him the incident of Jesus' baptism and how God from Heaven declared, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." We have had multiple encounters with Rah despite the restriction faced by his religious elder brother who is prohibiting him to know more about Jesus.
Pray for Rah who is very open to the message. He is eager to know more about the Truth!

Criminal Record Consequences
Drug Record Sealing
DWI Record Sealing
Record Sealing Benefits
Record Sealing Eligibility
Getting Your Record Sealed Is Important—Now More Than Ever
What exactly does it mean that New York has a new law on the books which makes many misdemeanors and some felonies eligible for record-sealing? It means that the conviction won't appear during a background check, nor can it be made available to the public.
It also means that hundreds of thousands of people who have been convicted of low-level crimes through the years have a new chance at life here in New York.
How Do You Get Your Record Sealed?
Those with convictions on their records should work with an attorney to file an application to have their records sealed (which is then submitted to a judge). As part of this process, applicants can demonstrate that they have suffered from negative collateral consequences as a result of the conviction, and that they deserve a fresh start.
The Average Applicant & Legal Requirements
The average individual applying for a clean slate is someone who made a mistake many years before, where that conviction has been an impediment to the pursuit of happiness that most of us take for granted every day. In general, only two criminal convictions can be sealed. Those convictions that are not eligible to be sealed include most sex offenses, violent crimes, and class A felonies. In addition, those with more than one felony conviction or more than two misdemeanors are ineligible, and at least 10 years must have passed since the conviction.
For many—no matter how many years have passed since their conviction—they live through that one mistake on a regular basis, even 30 years later, especially when they want to switch jobs, which triggers running another background check. Getting the slate wiped clean means everything: a livelihood, paying the mortgage, putting food on the table, etc. It can affect all areas of life; not just employment, but also voting rights, jury service, housing, benefits, loans, etc.
New York Record Sealing Attorneys
If you have a criminal conviction in your distant past, you shouldn't have to suffer every day via denied employment opportunities and the chance for a fresh start. Our attorneys can help: We focus exclusively on helping New Yorkers get their records sealed.

Songwriting Challenge Puts Up $1500 to Highlight the Needs of Men and Boys
Jul 7, 2020 | Politics
Campaign season is focal point of contest asking "Men for… Who?"
WASHINGTON, DC, July 07, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ — After 37 years working in multiple capacities on the social issues of men and boys, retired Maryland social worker Jack Kammer has decided to put his money, as he says, where his heart is. He's using the current election season as an apt time to get some attention for male gender issues.
"Virtually every campaign strives to have a 'Women for fill-in-the-blank' group," Kammer notes. "Sure enough, right now we have Women for Biden and Women for Trump. So a good question to start asking is 'Men for… Who?' And what better way to get that question into the conversation than with a good song?"
That, Kammer says, is why he and a few colleagues are running the "Men for… Who?" Songwriting Challenge.
When he hears "Don't men already run the world?" Kammer sighs and responds, "Well, that's the immediate reaction. But Average Joe is going to die seven years younger than Average Joan. Even so, the federal government has six offices on women's health and none on men's. And the Affordable Care Act mandates Well Woman coverage for women to get a battery of free tests and screenings for female health issues but does nothing of the sort for the health risks faced by men. Is this any way," Kammer asks wryly, "to run a patriarchy?"
He says he has "dozens of other well-documented examples" of such gender-based inequities on his website at our-comeback.com/scoreboard.
"The winning songs," Kammer hopes, "just might find their way onto the radio, into podcasts, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. Who knows? We're just going to do our best to get them out there. And we're going to keep asking the question."
The winner of the contest's first round, with a cash prize of $500, will be announced just before the party conventions in August. The winner of the $1000 cash prize in round two will be announced on October 1.
The contest rules and entry form are at our-comeback.com/mfw. The entry deadline for round one is August 10. There is no fee to enter.

Scoping Out the Fireworks View from the Roofdeck of a City View Courtyard Townhome off West Dallas
Fourth Ward, Homes for Sale, Interiors, Townhomes
The rooftop terrace of this 2008 City View Courtyard townhome ought to be a decent spot for watching tomorrow's Freedom Over Texas fireworks show. The Fourth Ward location between W. Dallas St. and the back of Allen Parkway Village falls in Freedmen's Town — though not the portion designated and nationally registered as Freedmen's Town Historic District. The townhome property's name is only semi-apt; while "city view" (top) is a sure thing, the "courtyard" reference is less clear. Perhaps it refers to the narrow strip of fenced pens between the 2 back-to-back 3-packs? Even without the seasonal pyrotechnics of Houston's Official July 4th Celebration to view, the end-cap's perspective peeks at office peaks, . . .
sweeps north (above) across the bands of apartments of neighboring APV, and scans west toward another green canopy: the money-hued roof of the Houston branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, fronting Allen Parkway (at center in photo below):
Three of the 2008 development's 6 townhomes face west, including this one with split-level entry. (East-facing townhomes flip the tower-terrace juxtaposition, which accounts for the semi-blocked city view:
This chock-a-block contemporary has been on and off the market at various price points since 2010. Last week, another reduction in the asking price hit $398,000, below the $417,000 of the May listing and the early June trim to $404,000. A previous listing by the same agency earlier this year had sought $422,000 for 3 months, ending in May. Another agency's initial listing last fall started the ball rolling at $415,000. In 2008, it sold for $385K.
At the front of the main living level (above), a pair of doors to a balcony flank the main room's picture window:
And the view? Some older properties immediately across the street, which sat behind a fence topped in barbed wire (one of them with a handmade sign reading "Silver Cloud Massage") were torn down last year. It's a vacant lot — for now. More recently completed lot-by-lot redevelopment dots the neighboring streetscape and horizon.
Dark-stained bamboo flooring finishes most of the 2,494-sq.-ft. home. Built-in cabinetry matching that of the open kitchen provides storage and counter service in the dining area . . .
and forms a snug bar in the alcove near the entry, where a short hallway cuts through to the kitchen:
Units across the "courtyard" between buildings reverse floorplans, which helps reduce potential TMI sight lines. Instead, the triple windows in the combo living-dining area (above) are aligned with the neighbor's singles in the kitchen:
The listing says there are 4 bedrooms, including 2 master bedrooms, one of which is on the 3rd level. This master suite gets the big photo spread:
Angling for position, this bedroom's window formation places it above the living area:
Here's one of the other bathrooms. (The home has 3, plus a half bath.)
This room, still in the midst of redo, appears to be located at ground level:
The staircase's tower tops out on a landing framing the rooftop's sky view:

I will say I have watched 4th of July fireworks displays from one of these rooftops and the view is phenomenal! You can see all the way around Houston, we must have been able to see at least 10 separate shows at one time, near and far. The actual house on the other hand, not so great…

Question: How to use DealZapp to find great deals ?
Answer: First of all, download the DealZapp for Customers app from Google Play. The app will default to use your current location and a radius of 2.5km for the search which can be set up to 25km. So you just need to tap on the centre "Search" icon, select the category of deals you would like to see and tap on the 'Go' icon. A list of fantastic deals in your area will be sent to you, one deal at a time, If you like a particular deal, just add it to your shortlist so you can view it any time later without using any bandwidth.
Question: How to use DealZapp if I am a business owner ?
Answer: First of all, download the DealZapp For Business app from Google Play. You will need to register your business details and set your location but this is very simple and should take you less than three minutes. You can then try out DealZapp For Business for 10 days at no cost. Adding your best deals to the platform is very easy to do with our user-friendly interface. You simply select the deal category, load an image of the item, choose the times in which you would like the promotion to show, insert the deal price and the original price and any other promotion text you would like to show and that's pretty much it. When a customer in your area searches for deals in the category you selected, all of your active deals will be presented to them for selection.
Question: Where can I download DealZapp ?
Answer: Download the DealZapp For Business and the DealZapp for customers apps for free from Google Play or just click the links provided.
Question: What if there are no deals in my areas showing on DealZapp ?
Answer: If there are no deals (or not enough deals) in your area showing on DealZapp then this is a great opportunity for you to use the referral system and earn yourself recurring vouchers to use at shops.
As you know, it is in your interest for your local stores and shops to be on the DealZapp platform so you can see what special offers they have available. If you register as a DealZapp Referrer and then promote DealZapp and help to register shops and businesses so they use DealZapp For Business, you can earn yourself vouchers that can be redeemed at those shops. And an additional voucher will be sent to you every 6 months for as long as the shop stays commercially signed up with DealZapp. There is no limit to the amount of shops or business you can help register and you can earn yourself a lot of valuable vouchers.
Question: How do I register as a DealZapp Referrer ?
Answer: This must be done from the DealZapp for customers app. Simply tap on the "DealZapp Referrer" icon on the main screen (the icon on the left side of the cluster) and then tap on the "Get Referrer Code" icon. Once some basic details have been captured (so we can send you your vouchers), your Referrer Code will be issued and will always show in the centre position when you tap on the "DealZapp Referrer" icon. Any businesses that register to use DealZapp For Business (and use the platform beyond the initial free trial period) and who provide your Referrer Code when they do, will trigger a voucher being sent to you for use at their shop.
Question: Can I look for deals in other areas ?
Answer: Yes. The DealZapp app allows you to look for deals in other areas. The app is location-based and allows you to easily select locations where you plan to visit so you can view any deals and special offers in that area. The desired location is pinned with the location icon in maps view and a radius is activated around the pinned location which can be set to a number of options between 250 meters and 25 kilometers.
Question: Where can I use DealZapp and are there deals everywhere ?
Answer: The DealZapp For Business app can be used anywhere by businesses that fall into the available deal categories (for example shops, restaurants, bars, liquor stores and take-away outlets) to make their special offers and deals available and the DealZapp for customers app can also be used anywhere by prospective customers, to find these deals and special offers.
If DealZapp is not yet showing you enough useful deals in your area then this is an opportunity for your to use the DealZapp Referrer option and start earning yourself some vouchers to use at local shops. And of course to grow the number of available deals and special offers at the same time.
Question: Why should customers use DealZapp ?
Answer: The DealZapp app allows shops, restaurants, bars, liquor stores and take-away outlets to promote their very best deals. By restricting the amount of active deals allowed at one time we ensure that each shop or business advertises their very best specials, rather than just any specials. This creates a platform for customers in the area to have access to the very best deals and special offers at shops that are close by. Locations can be selected to view specials in the area and a shopping list of special offers can even be compiled and saved on our app, which means that once you are out and want to check your list, no data or bandwidth is used. The DealZapp app is focused on the best specials that businesses and shops in your areas or selected areas have to offer.
Question: Why should a business use DealZapp ?
Answer: A Business should use DealZapp because our platform promotes you and your special offers with an exceptionally high degree of relevance. Not only are your promotions being shown to people who are actually looking for deals and special offers but they are also in the area, or plan to be in the area at a later stage.
Ultimately these promoted items are shown to prime potential customers and this should see a better R.O.I. The DealZapp app is also a great platform to promote new products, as they would naturally come out on special. The app is free to download for businesses and customers so everyone can use it. It is also a great platform for smaller businesses to compete in the promotional space against bigger brands as each shop or business is only allowed 10 items ( their 10 best deals ).
This ensures that smaller shops or businesses and brands are not overshadowed by bigger brands and businesses and competition is fair, ultimately, the best deal will win.

Q: Jenkins build failure with debian-package-builder plugin: can't cd to directory I am trying to use the Jenkins plugin debian-package-builder to build a debian/ubuntu package.  The packaging itself isn't the problem, and manual builds using svn-buildpackage succeed.
The build process proceeds until it reaches the point of updating the changelog.  The output is as follows:
[debian-package-builder] running command <export DEBEMAIL= && export DEBFULLNAME=Jenkins && cd 'workspace/<...>/debian' && dch --check-dirname-level 0 -b --distributor debian --newVersion 1.r10649 'Build #19. Started by upstream project "my project" build number 19.'>
[ubuntu-12.04] $ /bin/sh -xe /tmp/hudson1444309539601954879.sh
+ export DEBEMAIL=
+ export DEBFULLNAME=Jenkins
+ cd workspace/<...>/debian
/tmp/hudson1444309539601954879.sh: 2: cd: can't cd to workspace/<...>/debian

The path the plugin computed is correct as a path relative to $JENKINS_HOME.  I can't seem to find any information as to what the current working directory is when jenkins runs the command.  Any pointers on how to correct this situation?
The build master is Ubuntu 13.10 with Jenkins 1.509.2.  The build slave is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
