Obama's NDAA Law Allowing Indefinite Military Detention of Citizens Ruled Unconstitutional
by Nick Pinto
Chris Hedges, one of the plaintiffs who successfully sued over unconstitutional provisions of the NDAA.
The Obama administration's efforts to enshrine sweeping 9/11-era rollbacks of civil liberties and constitutional rights as federal law hit a serious roadblock yesterday, as a federal judge struck down clauses of the National Defense Authorization Act as unconstitutional.
The offending section of the NDAA, signed by Obama on New Year's Eve last year, grants the government the power to put citizens in military detention indefinitely and without the usual recourse to civil courts.
Chris Hedges, along with other writers and activists including Daniel Ellsberg and Noam Chomsky, challenged the law soon after in a federal lawsuit.
They argued that the phrasing of the law, which allows for the detention of anyone who has "substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners," is so broad that in infringes on their own first-amendment rights.
Judge Katherine Forrest, a recent Obama appointee to the federal bench, was clearly sympathetic, and granted a preliminary injunction of the offending sections of the law.
The parties were back in court for further arguments last month for further arguments, but by Forrest's close questioning of administration lawyers, it was clear she still wasn't buying the government's argument.
That impression was confirmed yesterday with Forrest's 112-page ruling, which resoundingly dismisses the law as unconstitutional:
The Government did not–and does not–generally agree or anywhere argue that activities protected by the First Amendment could not subject an individual to indefinite military detention under § 1021(b)(2). The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides for greater protection: it prohibits Congress from passing any law abridging speech and associational rights. To the extent that § 1021(b)(2) purports to encompass protected First Amendment activities, it is unconstitutionally overbroad.
First amendment rights aren't the only constitutional problem with the law, Forrest continues:
The due process rights guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment require that an individual understand what conduct might subject him or her to criminal or civil penalties. Here, the stakes get no higher: indefinite military detention–potential detention during a war on terrorism that is not expected to end in the foreseeable future, if ever. The Constitution requires specificity–and that specificity is absent from § 1021(b)(2).
Forrest is particularly dismissive of the government's argument that the issue is none of the court's business, and that at most, courts can consider individual habeas corpus petitions from already-detained prisoners.
That argument is without merit and, indeed, dangerous…. If only habeas review is available to those detained under § 1021(b)(2), even U.S. citizens on U.S. soil, core constitutional rights available in criminal matters would simply be eliminated. No court can accept this proposition and adhere truthfully to its oath.
Speaking with the Voice Wednesday night, Hedges said he is happy with the ruling.
"I'm elated," he said. "This judge is amazing. She had the courage to do the right thing in an age when most judges write long opinions about why they can't do the right thing."
There's good reason to temper the elation, however. The government is almost certain to appeal the ruling. Indeed, the administration already has appealed the temporary injunction granted in May.
"That's all right," Hedges said Wednsday. "If they appeal, we'll fight them, and we'll keep fighting them, and we'll fight them until we win."
You can read Judge Forrest's ruling here:
NDAA Ruling
UPDATE: Justice Department lawyers are appealing the ruling, and have succeeded in getting an appeals judge to stay the decision. The NDAA provisions are now back in effect.

Security printing is the field of the printing industry that deals with the printing of items such as banknotes, passports, tamper-evident labels, stock certificates, postage stamps and identity cards. The main goal of security printing is to prevent forgery, tampering, or counterfeiting. A number of technical methods are used in the security printing industry.
Governments in sub-Saharan Africa have been investing in this sector in the mission of creating more advanced and secure standards of biometric and electronic passports, driving licenses, smart cards, national IDs, Cards, etc…Major international names engaged in implementing the biometric systems include Slovakia's Innovatrics, Europe's Zetes, Portugal's Unisys, Germany's Mühlbauer Technology Group, Belgium's SEMLEX, Gemalto and Digimarc ID.
The Ghanaian government has selected Slovakian Innovatrics's system for the implementation of biometric passports in the country. Whereas, Buck Press Limited, a Ghanaian limited liability company, is the company contracted by the Government of Ghana to supply the booklets for the biometric passports.
DGM-Sistemas Lda., an Angola-based information technology company, has awarded a three-year contract, to Unisys Portugal to help develop and roll out a new citizen ID card.
Zetes, the European leader in automatic identification solutions and services for goods and people, has been awarded a contract for the delivery of 9,500 mobile biometric kits for Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in support of the 2011 presidential elections.
In August 2009, Zetes and the National Company for the Issue of Administrative and Identity Documents (SNEDA) have launched their latest biometric-based projects in the Côte d'Ivoire.
Gemalto was selected in 2008 as sole supplier of the digital security technology to be used in electronic passports for Ivorian citizens.
Digimarc ID Systems had signed a contract in 2002 to integrate and supply equipment and materials to the Namibian Electoral Commission to issue Voter ID cards to 1.2 million Namibian citizens.
Gemalto was selected by MTN Uganda for its nationwide mobile payment program. Service rollout started in March 2009.
The German firm, Mühlbauer Technology Group, was selected by the Ugandan government to rollout the country's new national identity card using smartcard technology.
The Tanzanian National Electoral Commission, in 2007, selected Digimarc Corporation to provide secure ID materials for the photo registration of eligible voters around the country.
On April 1st 2009, the biometric passport of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (which includes Cameroon, Gabon, Chad, the Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville and Equatorial Guinea) was supposed to come into effect. However there has been no mention of it until the end of June2010, when the Secretariat of this sub-regional body announced that these passports will be put into circulation within one month. The "CEMAC passport is being printed by a Belgian company SEMLEX, and Interpol helps in its implementation.

The research team, led by Dr Walter Marcotti, Royal Society University Research Fellow from the University's Department of Biomedical Science, in collaboration with Professor Karen Steel at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, discovered that the mutation in miR-96 prevents development of the auditory sensory hair cells. These cells are located in the inner ear and are essential for encoding sound as electrical signals that are then sent to the brain.
The research has been published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal and was based on studies of mice, which do not normally hear until about 12 days after birth. Prior to this age their immature hair cells must execute a precise genetic program that regulates the development of distinct types of sensory hair cell, namely inner and outer hair cells.
The research teams found that in a strain of mice called diminuendo – which carry a single base mutation in the miR-96 gene – hair cell development is arrested around birth.
The study shows that miR-96 normally regulates hair cell development by influencing the expression of many different genes associated with a wide range of developmental processes at a specific stage. The researchers discovered that the mutation hinders the development not only of the mechanically sensitive hair bundle on the cell apex but also the synaptic structures at the base that govern transfer of electrical information to the sensory nerves. These new findings suggest that miR-96 is a master regulator responsible for coordinating the development of the sensory cells that are vital to hearing.
Since the mutation in miR-96 is known to cause human deafness and microRNA molecules can be targeted by drugs, the work also raises new opportunities for developing treatments to treat hearing loss.
The work was supported by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), The Wellcome Trust and the University of Sheffield.

My absolute must-have when traveling is a five-star hotel, and I'll only travel first class. I prefer the beach and anywhere sunny, because I work hard for this beach body! The furthest I've travelled from home was one visit to Colorado, which is fine because it's too cold there anyway. However, I looked fabulous in my winter coat.

I like to relax when in transit by car, plane and train, but I love to explore when I arrive at my destination. I do not leave home without the baby blanket I've had since the day I was born. (Lavender works wonders for my travel anxiety). The furthest I've been from home so far has been Scottsdale, AZ. My preferred method of travel is in a luxury purse.
My Number One must-have when I travel is my baby playpen. It's my little piece of home and my safe place when I get lonely. My favorite place to go when I travel is anywhere my family is. They show me the world and I get to see so much because of them. Exploring crazy things is a little difficult because I'm so small, but I never worry about it because my people hold me and take me exploring everywhere they go. When I travel I never leave home without my maple syrup. It keeps me healthy, happy and energetic. But most of all I always need my perfect tote. (Thanks Bark Fifth Avenue!) The longest distance that I have traveled? Well, I was born in South Korea and now live in Alabama. So you can say I've been around the world! As far as how I travel, I only want the best. My tote, my peeps and my favorite toy.

Out of this world: Planet Organic founder Renée Elliott joins for the latest Seven Hills Academy Session
By	Tabitha Miller	| 20 Sep 2018 | 13:58h
Renée Elliott | Seven Hills Academy Session
From a small-town girl in the US, to a retail pioneer in the UK – Renée Elliott, founder of Planet Organic, shared her inspiring journey with Seven Hills this morning for the latest Academy Session.
Renée was disheartened by the lack of organic presence in the UK and decided to take matters into her own hands: thus came Planet Organic in 1995. After battling through unexpected financial and legal turmoil, she achieved her goal of promoting healthy eating in the community. Today, Planet Organic is the UK's largest fully certified organic supermarket.
To Renée, health is the foundation of a person's wellbeing and everything they value: "The most important person in your life is not your mother, your partner, your kid – it's yourself," emphasising that in order to be an excellent person for others, "you have to feel excellent and be in an excellent place yourself."
Renée's vision of well-being grew along with her entrepreneurial efforts. In 2017 she launched Beluga Bean, a life-skills academy for women. "It teaches women how to start a business, how to transition from businesswoman to mother, and how to cook delicious, nutritious food," she explains.
The most important lesson she learned after two business ventures, three kids, and over 30 years of marriage? "Whenever you're not sure about something, trust your gut. Or flip a coin – whichever face you hope for is what you should do."

No... I'm not on mac. The shadows usually worked, but the shadow of the apse just didn't show up beyond the shadows inside the apse? The lines and stuff were still there, just the shadow indicating that thing was like the only shadow that wasn't there.
This was really really good!! My main problem is that when I played, there was no shadow alerting me to the third color in the pattern?? I don't know if it's my fault because I have my computer settings weird or if it's a bug but I don't want other people getting upset because they can't find it but have too much pride to go look at someone's video or try all the colors for the third one. I just wanted to let you know.
Oh! That makes so much more sense! I can't check if that was my problem now but thank you nonetheless!
Okay so I know I'm probably just being dumb but how do you do the baking thing?? It gets to the select ingredients part and doesn't do anything when I interact with anything? So can someone help me answer what I'm doing wrong?
THIS GAME IS SO FRICKING CUTE I LOVE YOSHIKO SO MUCH SHE GIVES ME LIFE AND THIS LITERALLY MADE ME CRY AND THOUGH IT"S NOT HARD TO DO THAT GOOD FOR YOU.
I love the options you get after the first playthrough, especially all the ones reminding you that it's a demo because those are really funny.
This game is super cute, but how do you get past the green thing after the flowers? I tried, and really couldn't, so I'm just looking for some tips please.
Diya gives me life. She's so cute!! I love this game so much, I've played it twice now and I got it last week.

Listen to the call to be reconciled to God today.
Listen to Pastor Dennis Greenidge and Pastor Rosemary Taylor teach us on some of the ways that we can effectively share the Gospel.
This group includes everyone not mentioned in the first three groups, including those in the New Age and the Occult.
We will look at each of these areas, in more detail in future DVD, but it suffices to say that those in this group believe in a false Gospel or no gospel at all.

Ghalebeigi, Aida (2015) Option Contracts for Supermarket Fruit Supply Chains: Theory and Practice. PhD thesis, Victoria University.
Perishability increases uncertainty in food supply chains and supply chain players must respond quickly to produce changes in order to minimize loss through waste. In high income countries such as Australia, as elsewhere, waste is a function of uncertainty in decision making and lack of coordination between different players in the supply chain. Contract-of-Sale agreements between farmers and retailers may be directly responsible for crop waste at the farm gate and/or in supply chains into retail stores. Lack of coordination results in poor performance of the supply chain and inaccurate forecasts will result in excessive inventory costs, food wastage, quality-related costs and customer dissatisfaction.

Investment - Articles - Life companies require more analysis of investment return
Historically life companies have reported their unit-linked fund performance based on net (of charges) investment performance statistics, while reporting charges have been primarily based on annual management charge percentages. However, new regulations (e.g. on workplace pensions and PRIIPS) are set to change all this and Financial Risk Solutions (FRS) is of the view that in order for Independent Governance Committees (IGC) to meet their regulatory requirements, life companies will need to provide them with more detailed information than what is currently provided.
The funds industry has already embraced the need for change with the revised Statement of Recommended Practices (SORP) for the financial statements of UK authorised funds in May 2014, which requires disclosure on performance per unit, ongoing charges per unit and transactions costs per unit. Here, charge disclosure is clearly set in the context of fund performance. Therefore, for life companies offering workplace pensions, this will mean more comprehensive information on fund performance to be supplied to their independent governance committees (IGCs), because:
• IGCs will be required to assess the level of charges borne by scheme members and all costs (direct and indirect) incurred in relation to transaction
• IGCs will need to assess whether the characteristics and net performance of all investment strategies (including non-default investment strategies) are regularly reviewed by firms, to ensure alignment with the interests of scheme members
• The FCA will expect IGCs to be able to challenge firms on the value for money offered by fund managers, brokers, and other third-party providers.
Charge information is required on a look-through basis as set out in the DWP's Command Paper "Better workplace pensions" of March 2014, with its vision of full transparency of all costs and charges throughout the value chain. Whilst the FCA's Consultation Paper CP14/24 on charges in workplace pensions doesn't specifically mention look-through (and the definition of administration charge therein might require some tweaking to ensure that look-through is appropriately dealt with), it is our understanding that the look-through data requirements would still apply. Therefore, we are of the view that that the type of information required by IGCs from life companies should include:
• The net investment return of x% in the period resulted from gross investment return of (x+y) % and expenses of y%
• Further analysis of the y% expenses by expense type e.g. AMCs, transactions costs, service provider fees and other expense groupings.
Having this information should enable IGCs to address key questions such as:
• What proportion of the total gross investment return do the investors receive?
• What is the level of transaction costs in the fund?
• What is the level of the various administration expenses in the fund?
• How do the component parts vary by fund (and over time) and across firms?
• What are the relative merits of active and passive trading strategies for a fund?
Indeed, this level of fund performance detail could be extended beyond workplace pensions to encompass all investment funds provided by firms.

Grimes Family papers
Collection 0004-MDHC
The Grimes family of Oxon Hill, Prince George's County, Maryland maintained a farm as well as a store and tavern or 'ordinary' throughout the nineteenth century. For much of that time one family member or another served as postmaster for the area. In accordance with the contemporary convention of naming towns after the local postmaster, the town was then known as Grimesville. The Grimes family papers include financial ledgers from the store, daybooks recording work on the farm, weather, and local and family news, legal agreements about land and labor, and correspondence. While the Grimes family did not enslave people, they did participate in and benefit from the enslavement of people. Thomas Grimes (1794-1864) managed the store, ordinary, farm, and post office from about 1820 until his death. His son Richard Franklin (born 1835) assumed responsibilities in the family businesses as Thomas' health declined in the 1860s and maintained the businesses after his father died.
Photocopies of original materials may be provided for a fee and at the discretion of the curator. Please see our Duplication of Materials policy for more information. Queries regarding publication rights and copyright status of materials within this collection should be directed to the appropriate curator.
The Grimes Family papers date from 1821 to 1902, with the bulk of the documents covering 1845 to 1864. The ledgers and daybooks are the most significant section of the collection. Ledgers from the store show prices for food, liquor, and other goods in the mid-nineteenth century. The ledgers also include many names of Grimes's customers, including the Dyer, Edelon, Talbert or Tabbert, and Vodery families. Thomas Grimes's daybooks offer a detailed picture of his employment practices, as well as his success in agriculture. While the Grimes family did not enslave people, there are records of them hiring people who were enslaved by other local families, an agreement in which the enslavers received the payment, not the enslaved people doing the labor for the hiring family. Grimes carefully recorded how much of each crop he planted and how much he reaped, along with notes on the weather and on the condition of other farmers' crops. The daybooks also contain brief notes of family importance, such as the birthdays of his four oldest sons and a listing of Grimes's account with the local doctor. The correspondence and notes that make up the rest of the collection deal primarily with the agricultural, financial, and legal concerns of the family, as well as the buying habits of local families.
Little is known about the Grimes family of Oxon Hill, Prince George's County, Maryland. Throughout the nineteenth century, the family maintained a farm as well as a shop and tavern or 'ordinary' located at an intersection, now where St. Barnabas Road intersects Oxon Hill Road (Route 414). For much of that time, one family member or another served as postmaster for the area, and thus the town was known as Grimesville, in accordance with the contemporary convention of naming towns after the local postmaster.
Thomas Grimes (1794-1864) managed the store, ordinary, farm, and post office from about 1820 until his death. Liquor and sales licenses for the store from the 1840s and 1850s were issued to Peter Grimes, who may have been part owner of the store. The relationship between Thomas and Peter has not been determined, however, new information provided by a genealogical researcher suggests that Peter was the son of Thomas Grimes and Elizabeth Cadle. See note below.
Thomas and his first wife, Catherine, had four children: Charles Robert, b. 1821; John Thomas, b. 1824; James Henry, b. 1826; and Jeremiah Tobias, b. 1827. After Catherine died in 1832, Thomas married Elizabeth Cadle (or Kadle). This second marriage produced at least two children: Richard Franklin, b. 1835, and George Daniel, b. 1841.
It was Richard Franklin who assumed responsibilities in the store and on the farm as Thomas's health declined in the 1860s and who took over running the family businesses after Thomas's death in 1864. By the time of Thomas's death, the older children no longer lived in the area. Charles and James, along with their families, both moved to Virginia in 1850, and as of 1852 John was in Baltimore. In 1856, Jeremiah moved as well, to "Mr. Baden's place."
A Grimes family tree is available. NOTE: A genealogical researcher provided the following additional information from an 18th century family bible. Thomas' second wife's name was spelled Kadle or Cadle and there was at least one additional (to two listed above) child - Peter Gibson Grimes. Peter Gibson Grimes married Catherine Rachel Suit (as in Suitland, Maryland) sister of Samuel Taylor Suit, and had eight children: Ella Fancis, Samuel Taylor, Sallie Suit, Minnie Gibson, Hattie Louise, Frank Hume, Edith Marie and Mabel Catherine. Catherine Rachel Suit was the daughter of Fielder Wilson Suit, 1805-1870, married 1831 Catherine Margaret Scott, 1817-? Fielder Wilson Suit was the son of Oliver Burch Suit, born 1775, married 1794 Eleanor Wilson. Catherine Margaret Scott was the daughter of Samuel Scott and Elizabeth Free.
The collection has been divided into four series:
Legal Records
The University of Maryland Libraries purchased the Grimes Family papers from Charles Apfelbaum in 2002. An additional ledger (1844-1859) was received from the Talbot County Free Library in 2010.
The papers were separated by subject and then by type. Within each group, the documents were arranged chronologically. The ledgers from Series 1 were placed in oversize boxes. The entire collection was transferred to acid-free folders and housed in acid-free boxes.

The militarization of our police and raids gone wrong
(Click image above or here for Google mashup of botched paramilitary police raids.)
A sagacious fellow by the name of Radley Balko, whose chief journalistic endeavor has been exposing the excesses of the War on Drugs, has compiled an impressive list of botched raids conducted by hyper-agressive police units acroos the country.
The militarization of our police forces, with SWAT units armed with weapons designed for warfare against foreign enemies, has been spreading from the inner city to the suburbs, and from small towns to farm country.
All across America, local police units are arming and training officers to bust down doors, destroy personal property and mercilessly manhandle all living creatures in their path. Dogs, children and even elderly women have been shot by rampaging SWAT teams, usually in the hunt for trivial amounts of drug contraband.
Here's a recent example:
Williams said he believes the team was supposed to be raiding a parolee's home Aug. 24 when they inadvertently hit the wrong door. Officers ended up at the home of David and Lillian Scott, just off Rancho California Road.
Lillian Scott said she and her husband were in the living room discussing family plans, their 15-year-old daughter was in the garage with two friends and their 16-year-old son was in another room feeding the Scotts' 5-month-old baby.
That all changed at 9:35 p.m. she said, when Temecula police officers –- four or five, she's not sure –– carrying rifles charged though the unlocked front screen door and ordered the couple to the floor.
"Two of them came over and put handcuffs on the two of us," Lillian Scott said. "We asked what we had done wrong and didn't get an answer."
Elsewhere in the house other officers handcuffed their daughter and her two friends.
"(The officers) told them to get down on the f–ing floor," she said.
Her 16-year-old son, who was feeding the baby, was also ordered to the floor and handcuffed, Scott said.
From the other room, Scott heard her infant crying.
"I asked if my baby was OK and the officer told me if I moved he was going to put a bullet in my head," Scott said."
Radley Balko of Reason says:
I think I sent a copy of my [Cato Institute] paper on the rise of paramilitary police forces last year, but if you didn't get it, you can download it for free here.
I recommend sipping a glass of something stiff while reading.
We also did a Google Maps mashup of about 300 botched raids to go with the paper. But it's already out of date. There have been a couple of dozen more botched SWAT raids since I left Cato for Reason magazine last November.

« SWORD GATE, CHARLESTON, S.C.
Now that we have had a killing frost and all the flowers in my garden are wilted, except for the mums, it reminds me of our trip last fall to Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile, Alabama. Here is the nation's largest outdoor display of cascading chrysanthemums. There are four foot long cascades of mums on bridges, balconies, in baskets and in flower beds through the garden. All the cascades are grown at Bellingrath and it takes over nine months to grow a single crop. I can just imagine what an effort it must be to move the cascades to the various places in the garden. This was my first time to see cascading mums and what a magnificent sight it was. There are over 8,000 bedded, potted and cascading chrysanthemums spread out over 65 acres in the garden.
Bellingrath was originally the home and garden of Walter and Bessie Bellingrath. Walter was the original owner of Mobil's Coca-Cola bottling company. The home, built in 1935, is a museum and time capsule where you can see how the truly rich lived. It features the complete furnishings once enjoyed by its original occupants. The 15 room mansion is furnished with antiques and personal effects but seemed very livable. When we were there it was decorated for Christmas, which made it extra special to tour.
Besides the beautiful mum displays it was also delightful to walk under the towering live-oaks draped in Spanish moss. On the grounds there is also a rose garden, a conservatory, chapel, even an oriental garden with a moon bridge. A boardwalk allows you to enjoy the peaceful bayou that is home to fish and wildlife. It is a beautiful garden to walk around enjoy.
When Walter Bellingrath was 80 he publicly announced the creation of a foundation to assure the continued existence of his beloved gardens and give credit to his late wife's tireless efforts in creating the Gardens. What a lovely memorial to his wife. There is something to see every season in this garden. At Christmas the whole garden is decorated with Christmas lights. They were starting to put the lights up when we were there so we got a little preview of their Christmas display.


Arrived missing the shift lever, grill, and fire extinguisher. Surfing ebay I found a fellow selling all those items, either individually or as a set. I really didn't need the exhaust (or so I thought) and the set was cheaper than buying each piece.
Good quality, reproductions probably. Just happy to get them.
Shafts don't fit the holes in the chassis (too small) and the nuts/threads are metric but they work. Come to discover that the PO had cut the exhaust pipe, so I needed it anyway.
I would like to use the grill, but to do so I would have to remove the PO added roll cage something I don't want to do. I may modify the grill to fit.
You could upgrade it with the recent Cox .049 Tee Dee bundled with an RC fuselage front E-Bay. Come up with a new pusher pylon that also houses a fuel tank.
Eric, agreed, with such fine workmanship on his real cars got to admit Ron, Bob has a sense of humour.
In a way it is a quaint reminder of fixes I've done to car and house repairs, undoing what the previous owner did, redoing them in a workman like manner. One motorcycle wiring job I redid looked like it was done by a butcher rather than an auto electrician, very amateurish.
What Bob does with this is of course his business. He may be doing it to give us a reason to "grin and bear".
Thanks guys, I can't say that I have ever enjoyed responses to any of my posts more than these.
I get away with way too much stuff here, bout time I was taken to task.
Yes, I enjoy restoring those old Cox Mercedes to something resembling their former glory, but none were modded by PO's.
If I remove the PO's engine and roll cage on the Roy Cox it's just another Roy Cox Tether car.
Did I hear something about motorcycle wiring.........I didn't leave this one as found.
Of course I am only messing with Bob, I am sure by now he understands my sense of humor.

Actually you weren't too far from Walt's Little Devil, just needed to round the wing tips and go with a slightly different elevator.
rsv1cox wrote: Did I hear something about motorcycle wiring.........I didn't leave this one as found.
Yup, know the feeling. Consolidated all aftermarket accessories wiring to a new 6-fuse block under the 2001 Kawasaki ZG1200-B15 Voyager XII's false tank cover. Didn't want to chase the PO's in line fuses for each single circuit by disassembling the front fairing and tracing his wiring route plus added a few of my own new circuits.
Fuses are for 1) heated grips, 2) Wolo Big Boy horn (semi-tractor rig style air horn ), 3) trailer lighting module, 4) security alarm, 5) cigarette lighter power socket, 6) battery maintainer/charger.
Very neat George. Looks great.
I just snipped everything back from the main harness and rewired. I was amazed when I switched on and everything worked. Still does.
Some big kid crushing my motorcycle.
I gotta tell you, Bob. Your S-90 looks a LOT better than mine!
I just tore my petcock apart, now to find o'rings, overhaul the electrics, and fix second gear. Maybe I'll put a rollcage over it and push it down the road with a stack of singing Babe Bees!
That's a well preserved S-90, Bob. I remember you posting earlier of it and restoring it. You don't see many of them nowadays.
While in college, I took the seat down to a re upholsterer and for around $40 he did the seat in a brown naugahyde that he had.
Still have the small motorcycle white ABS plastic saddle bags that I bought from J.C. Whitney back in the late 1970's, used it to carry my books while attending the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. Also not shown, bought an NOS chrome high sissy bar for it. Planning to repaint the tank, covers and saddle bags in the factory style colour scheme of gold top, white bottom with a white stripe just above the white bottom.
Then I'll have my small moto bagger.
I've done several liners George. If you can convince the wife to leave for a day just throw the bare cylinder in the oven at 350 degrees and the liner in the freezer. Assuming everything clean/deburred they drop right in.
If you have a gas grille you can do that as well. The whole job including reassembly should only take 4-5hrs. Maybe longer if you have never torn that engine down before.
4 strokes are easy, 2 strokes are a pain as you have to line up the sleeves with the port holes.
I guess we went off on a tangent... what was this thread about again?
I guess the best of both worlds would be the SL 1-4 and the CB 5th.

Ron, I may contact you off-line for details. I've had that kit for over 10 years, but having never done it has been a back burner item. It's of course a 4 stroke.
BTW your CB100 transmission had better road ratios 1-4 and a better 5th gear .82 Although the SL 1-4 was a close ratio box and a 5th of .84. I guess the best of both worlds would be the SL 1-4 and the CB 5th.
Stock CB100 has a 14 tooth front chain sproke and a 40 tooth rear sprocket. About 15 years ago, I picked up a 15 tooth front and a 38 tooth rear.
With the extra power of the SL125 engine, that upgrade in essence dropped the gear ratios, now they are more pleasant. As such, the CB100 was still higher geared because of its small displacement engine (6 cubic inches). The SL125 engine was bored out by a previous owner 1.0mm (0.040 in). Its displacement is 125 cc = 7.6 c.i. Having 27% more displacement, of course it is more powerful. When I drop in the big bore kit, it will be 50% larger displacement than the CB100, which will be a sizeable increase in power.

Hot croissant ring cake is easy to make using ready-to-roll pastry and warm spices in a ring tin. The warm pastry is soft and doughy, bejeweled with dried fruit and coated with a sweet glaze.
Heat oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Grease a ring or Bundt tin with butter.
Unroll each pack of croissant dough and lay together on your work surface. Pinch together the dough.
In a small pan, melt the apricot jam with the spices and 1tbsp water. Brush the mix over the pastry and scatter over the dried fruits. Roll up the dough to create a long roll and cut into 4cm pieces. Place each roll into the greased tin and pack in tightly to create a ring.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until puffed up and golden. Allow to cool for 5 mins in the tin and turn out onto a lipped plate to catch any sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk the icing sugar and 1tbsp water to create a thick glaze. Roughly chop the Mini Eggs and set aside.
To decorate, drizzle over the icing and scatter with the chopped Mini Eggs.


We've come a long way since the senseless days of Siri. From voice activation and branded playlists, to original soundtracks and podcasts, the technology is finally here which enables marketers to create hands-free audio universes of their own, to connect with consumers and become part of the fabric of everyday life.
Remember back when we crowned video king of the content world? 2019 will confidently declare sound the new screen and voice the new remote control, as these invisible agents infiltrate the user journey and brands scramble to truly be heard.
Sound was long predicted to change our every interaction, but the technology itself has only recently evolved to provide services far beyond a 'Siri, call mom' command (that, let's be honest, may or may not have resulted in an actual phone call in the end). Instead, the entire dynamic of the consumer, at home or on the go, is bracing a huge shift in behaviour.
We've just seen the beginning of this technology, with the Amazon Alexa and Google Home looking to become commonplace features in people's homes as the industry is predicted to be worth $3.5bn next year.
Beyond being presented with the opportunity to speak to consumers in an entirely new space, brands will be facing risk if they do not work quickly to adopt a more sound strategy (pun intended). By 2020, 50% of all computer interactions will be conducted via voice-mediated AI. This will see every aspect of the user journey shifting to an entirely new medium. Searching for your favourite clothing brands? Researching your next holiday? Listen up - - 50% of all search is expected to come from voice in two years. Take Baileys – using voice purchasing as a means for people to order samples of a new variant. Voice purchases aren't just the future, they're already here.
Some brands are being a bit more inventive, take Chompers, an initiative from podcasting company Gimlet Media, which encourages kids to brush their teeth twice a day, for two minutes each time by telling two minute stories, sharing fun games and trivia.
No need to be intimidated by the step forward into sound, if such a traditional institution as the Church of England can incorporate Alexa into their sermons, it's time to make the move.
Music and podcasts are nothing new but brands are encroaching on this space like never before. Using music to create emotional connections with your brand is nothing new, but the plethora of applications now available has opened up a wealth of opportunities for brands to do this in ever more interesting and engaging ways.
The average customer spends about 25 hours a month streaming music on Spotify. No wonder Bacardi has created a series of curated playlists on Spotify under the banner, The Sound of Rum.
In 2018, 95% of the most watched videos on YouTube were music videos. So Wendy's in their own inimitable style, have created their own 'mixtape' on YouTube, which of courses disses McDonald's and Burger King.
It is true, music has a way of getting through to people in all sorts of ways. In many parts of the world, journalism is heavily censored. But music streaming services are not. So Reporters Without Borders took journalists reporting from five repressed regimes and turned them into music artists, transforming their otherwise censored articles into lyrics.
Podcasts are huge and that's not looking to change anytime soon. In 2017, podcast advertising revenues in the US reached $341m, and are predicted to reach $659 by 2020. But ads are annoying, right? Right. Brands now are beginning to find much more interesting ways of capitalising on this phenomenon, even crafting their own podcasts.
Take Underground: Tales for London, a work of fiction told by London-loving authors, all set on and around the Underground, where so many people's lives intersect each day. The piece is curated by the Evening Standard newspaper, and each story is the ideal length for a commute on the tube.


Generously coat large pan with olive oil, add garlic and lemon juice, saute on medium heat for approximately 5 minutes. Add vegetables and chicken broth, cook until vegetables are nearly soft, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp to vegetable mixture and cook until shrimp are pink and firm. Season with salt and pepper as desired, substitute soy sauce (optional).
Bring large pot of water to boil, add rice noodles, remove from heat, salt, and allow to soak for 8-10 minutes. Drain noodles, place in large serving bowl, and stir in vegetables and shrimp.

What are the Characteristics of a Developed Country?
What is an Example of a Developed Country? What are the Characteristics of a Developed Country? What are the Main Features of a Developed Country? What are the Common Characteristics that the Developed Nations share?
Do you not want to live in another country someday? If yes, surely there would be some things you would always keep in mind while deciding which country to move to. And nothing better than a developed nation, right? But, did you know that countries are divided into developed and developing? There are some characteristics that distinguish a developed country from a developing one. In this article, we shall focus on the characteristics of a developed country, the main features of developed economy, and what does a country need in order to develop.
1. What is a Developed Country Example?
When we hear the word developed, the instant thought arises is- like what. What is a developed country example? No worries. Examples of countries with developed economies include the United States, Canada, and the majority of Western and Eastern Europeans including the United Kingdom and France. (See 16 Fun facts about France)
2. What are the 8 Developed Countries?
Photo by Carlos Alfonso on Unsplash
The Group of Eight also known as G8 is a group of eight highly industrialized nations which includes France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Russia. These eight countries conduct annual meetings popularly known as the G8 to discuss global issues like economic growth, crisis management, global security, energy, and terrorism. (See Why Africa is underdeveloped?)
3. What's the Most Developed Country?
A lot of people might assume the obvious answer to this question to be the United States. But no, the correct answer is Norway. With a human development index of 0.944, Norway is the most developed country. Since the initiation of the industrial era, they have not deviated from their mixed pattern of the economy. The abundance of natural resources in the country is one of the major contributors to their economy. (See Why is kenya still a developing country?)
4. What does a Country need in Order to Develop?
Do you ever ponder why is there a gap between nations classifying them into developed and developing? What makes a country develop? What does a country need in order to develop? Well, it is seen that the classification between nations broadly happens on the basis of gross domestic product (GDP) or gross national per capita income, the general standard of living, and the technological infrastructure.
Hence, these are the basic things that a country requires in order to develop. The United Nations reflects the development status as basic economic country conditions. (See What is the Positive Effect of Urbanization?)
5. What Characterizes a Developed Country?
While speaking of developed countries, it is not always important to associate good golden words. However, while characterizing a developed nation, we do use great praise, because it is these things that differentiate them from other nations. A developed country is also called an industrialized country. It consists of a mature sophisticated economy which is usually measured by gross domestic product and/or average income per resident.
These nations also have advanced technological infrastructure and a diversified industrial and service sector. The citizens enjoy a quality life with access to quality healthcare and education. (See Why is Mexico a developing country?)
6. What are the Characteristics of a Developed Country?

After reading the article here, you can pretty much guess the characteristics of a developed country. Let's list them out. For starters, an improved economy is one of the first characteristics of a developed nation. This improved economy is a result of the overall growth of each sector of the country. Be it education, finance, or investment, all of it adds up to the title of a developed country. Some more characteristics of a developed country are:
Human Development Index: It is a statistical tool that measures a country's social and economic development by mainly focusing on good health care, lowering child mortality rate, quality education, and literacy rates.
Per capita Income: It is the average income earned by a person in one year in a particular region. It is calculated by the total income in a given country divided by the total population. Developed nations have a high per capita income.
Industrialization: High rates of employment and manufacturing, modern technology, and technical advancements are brought in by industrialization, hence, it is a major characteristic.
Political stability: Good governance makes sure there is transparency in public affairs, low corruption levels, and people's respect for laws.
Better living standards: The financial stability provided in developed nations provide a high standard of living which is also a great determiner of a developed country.
Education: It is one of the most important characteristics of a developed country. Developed nations make sure that all their citizens have access to quality education.
7. What are the Characteristics of Developing Country?
The characteristics of a developing nation are pretty much the opposite of the ones of a developed nation. These include:
Low per capita income: Lower per capita income means the average income per person is low which makes it insufficient to invest or save.
Mass poverty: Being unable to fulfill basic needs creates a vicious circle of poverty which leads to illiteracy and unemployment which ultimately leads to low per capita income.
Rapid population growth: Lack of education and lack of family planning results in a mentality of more kids equalling more labor force which means more income and hence raises the population. Such countries also have a high infant mortality rate.
Unemployment or underemployment: The problem arises majorly due to low industrial development, lack of proper utilization of natural resources, and heavy dependence on agriculture. Underemployment is highly found in rural and backward areas.
There are many more factors like excessive dependence on agriculture, technological backwardness, dualistic economy, more consumption, and less saving, etc. (See Why is Egypt a developing country?)
8. What are the Common Characteristics of a Most Developed Country?
Although just like every person is different, every country is also different. The characteristics of a developed country that define the essence of a country are different in many ways. But there are some things that the developed nations share in common. These include:
High standard of living
Most of the GDP came from the industry sector
High GDP per capita
Low corruption
Mainly urban citizens
Advanced public transportation
Low poverty
High quality of education
Advanced military and security
9. What are 5 Characteristics of Development?

The overall development of a nation is important for the overall development. But there still are some characteristics that are the driving force of the economy. We have discussed them in brief previously in the article, now let's list them out. The 5 characteristics of development are:
All 5 of the elements have their fair share of contribution in steadily driving the economy towards the standards of a developed nation. (Also read How are Humans Economics and Ecology Linked?)
10. What are the Main Features of Developed Economy?
After understanding the characteristics of both developed and developing nations, it is time to witness the main features of developed economy. A developed economy is an economy with a high level of economic activity. The following are the characteristics of a developed economy:
High Human Development Rank
Service sector domination
High level of infrastructure development
Learning about the developed and developing nations and the line of difference between the two definitely concludes one thing that developed nations make sure that all their citizens have good access to all their services. They balance out their development by growing in all sectors. The purpose of this article was to make you learn about the characteristics of a developed country, what does a developing nation need to do in order to earn the title of a developed nation and the main features of developed countries. We hope this article was helpful for your knowledge gain. (Also read How Globalization affects your Daily Life?)
