Smog expected to hang over the Supreme Court on Thursday

Smog is expected to hang over the Supreme Court as it hears the most important air pollution case for a generation
NO2 laws are the most powerful tool citizens have to hammer down carcinogenic diesel exhaust and other toxic pollutants from combustion
The Met Office's five day forecast this morning predicted 'Moderate' or 'High' air pollution in London every day this week.
Its forecast of 'High' 7/10 air pollution for Thursday coincides with ClientEarth's battle in the Supreme Court to force the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to comply with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) limit values which have been in legislation since 1999 to be complied with by January 2010. The UK has refused even to apply for a time extension until January 2015 for 16 of 43 UK zones to comply with these requirements as allowed by Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe.
The Met Office's excellent air pollution forecasts, used by the BBC and others, do not include urban roadside locations. Air pollution is likely to be higher at such locations including Westminster.
The Government downplays the health impacts of NO2, failing to mention that it is the only 'modern' molecule within the whole gaseous component of air pollution subject to World Health Organisation guidelines and legal limits. Whereas the particle component of air pollution is regulated by its total mass concentration, gases other than NO2 are largely ignored. It is vital therefore that levels of NO2 are reduced to avoid: its direct health effects and those of other toxic pollutants from combustion; and its contribution with nitrogen monoxide as a precursor to the formation of deadly particles. Sulphur dioxide, which is also regulated, has been largely eliminated as a problem by the use of ultra low sulphur fuels.
Policy Exchange has estimated that diesel vehicles are responsible for 91% of dangerous airborne particles (PM2.5) and 95% of NO2 exhaust emissions from road transport in London.
NO2 laws are the most powerful tool citizens have to hammer down carcinogenic diesel exhaust and other toxic pollutants from combustion. NO2 laws are breached by a factor of two or three near London's busiest streets.
"Nitrogen dioxide laws (NO2) are the most powerful tool citizens have to hammer down carcinogenic diesel exhaust and other toxic pollutants from combustion.
"NO2 is not just a molecule as the Government would have us believe. Its presence is strongly correlated with other toxic gases and ultrafine particles from combustion. It may also be the best general indicator we have of traffic related air pollution that could be responsible for 15-30% of all new cases of asthma in children and of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults of 65 years and older. Long-term exposure to invisible air pollution is the biggest public health risk after smoking.
"Air pollution is also an equality issue. Policy Exchange found, in its report titled 'Something in the Air: The forgotten crisis of Britain's poor air quality' that in the worst 10% of London for NO2, 5-10 year old children are 47% more likely than the London average to be eligible for free school meals and residents are 26% more likely than the London average to be on income support.
"Levels of NO2 in London are the highest of any capital city in Europe but this is not just a London problem. The UK has the highest proportions of zones exceeding the NO2 annual limit value plus margin of tolerance of any country in Europe. And yet, nothing is being done.
"An environmental information request to the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs by Clean Air in London in 2011 found that the Government's submission to the European Commission to delay compliance with NO2 limit values did not include a single significant committed new measure. Similarly, the Mayor of London did not include any such measures in his 2012 manifesto (or since). Worse, the Government and the Mayor of London are lobbying to weaken these laws during the European Commission's 'Year of Air' in 2013.
"We need political will, technology and behavioural change if London and the UK are to lead the world again in tackling air pollution. We need a massive campaign to build public understanding of the dangers of air pollution with advice for people on protecting themselves and reducing pollution for themselves and others. The Mayor particularly needs to phase out all diesel vehicles from central and inner London and other major sources of emissions, with financial support for those affected, where necessary.
"With another smog episode underway in London this week, it is inexcusable that the Government is still refusing to issue a press release warning of smog (perhaps after its last press release in April 2011 made news headlines). The Mayor of London is also at fault for refusing to warn people when and where smog is 'High' despite his Office advising last week it may be sensible for [some] children not to be in the playground then. Given a press release costs nothing, it is clear the Government is more concerned about covering-up this problem than the costs of protecting public health.
"Let's hope the Supreme Court rules in favour of ClientEarth's legal challenge. If the Supreme Court does not require the UK to produce committed new measures to tackle air pollution, we will need to rely again on the European Commission to protect us."
"It is symbolic that smog is expected to hang over the Supreme Court as it hears the most important air pollution case for a generation."

Ed. Sec. John Kings meets with teachers and students in Indianola.
Mississippi needs to put more resources into education if the state hopes to see improvement in academics. That's according to U.S. Secretary of Education John King.
In Mississippi, the average school district spends roughly $9,500 per student annually. That money, which comes from state, federal and local sources, is less than the national average. And while the state has seen some improvement on test scores in recent years, Mississippi still lags behind the rest of the nation in reading and math.
To improve education around the state, U.S. Secretary of Education John King says schools need additional resources.
"That investment in critical to being able to attract teachers and retain those teachers," says King. "Those investments are critical to making sure kids have access to STEM classes and computer science. The kinds of things that will allow them to be competitive in the 21st Century economy."
King points to towns like Indianola. The Sunflower County community received a $30 million grant five years ago to become a Promise Neighborhood. The program provides resources for services including preschool, tutoring, summer camps and access to social services in an effort to boost academic achievement in schools.

The Violet Hour
The Midnight Hour
Midnight Hour Read for Free
Andrea L Wells
Why Twilight Still Matters
Could I really justify discussing the polarizing book that is Twilight three sequels and five blockbuster movies later? After all, what could I say about Twilight that hasn't been already swooned over, fought over, lambasted, and treasured a thousand times over? Yet, when I first began brainstorming with my editor, Christina Fifer, about the idea of blogging on my website, one of the original things I made absolutely clear to her was, "I have to discuss Twilight… I can't be the author of a relatable Young Adult Series like The Violet Hour without people knowing where I stand on Twilight."
"You're right," she said. "It may be a little risky, but you're right… just as you were right nearly a decade ago when you badgered me to read the book, quizzed me to ensure I made it through, and notably had me accompany you to Walmart for a midnight release of the New Moon DVD."
At that time, Christina was certain the world (and I) had gone mad: this large-print tome was being borrowed from teenage daughters, passed around like a holy relic, and pushed like a miracle drug. Friends from our inner-circle who proudly claimed they hadn't read a book since high school were devouring 500+ page novels in one sleepless-night. And, wanting more. Stephen King famously criticized Meyers for being a poor writer and at the same time, she had topped the New York Times Best Seller list for 137 straight weeks.
I was and still am squarely on Team Edward, commonly referring to him as "my boyfriend." I own the eBooks (just purely for displaying on my Kindle bookshelf), the hardcovers, and the softcovers of each book in the series and have even recently obtained the White Collection boxset. I also proudly owned and insisted on wearing a Robert Pattinson T-shirt. Christina, however, was bashfully loyal to that small bibliophile-segment who stuck their head out of another book just long enough to be sincerely happy people were excited about reading again, even if they had started a Twi-hard cult.
This October marks the 10th Anniversary of Twilight's release and yes, we can still justify talking about it because it wasn't short-term madness but a game-changer.
There likely isn't a work more different from Twilight when it comes to writing style than Alan Ginsberg's Howl. The Twilight Saga is young adult, romantic as it emotionally triumphs, and spans 591,434 pages of pure supernatural fiction. The full story is longer, by the way, than War and Peace. Conversely, Howl is not safe for even adults, a sharp painful sickening wail that stretches a mere 112 lines and was meant to be sputtered in a jerky rhythm on the stage and is not appropriate for cozy-up-with-a-warm-mug rainy day pleasure reading. Personally, reading Howl leaves me wanting to take a hot shower and watch a Disney movie to recover, but it still commands my respect: Howl is, after all, considered one of America's greatest literary contributions.
Surface and content differences aside, I dare to put up Twilight beside Howl. Walter Van Tilburg Clark's words above were spoken before the San Francisco court in 1957 where Howl was put on trial. It was a poem so heavily criticized and simultaneously so infectious with fans, that unbelievers brought it before a court to ban it. According to critics, Ginsberg could not write, the text was obscene, it was a bad influence on young adult readers, and it portrayed unhealthy sexuality. And then, nearly fifty years later, Meyers was also put on trial in the media outlet courts: Anne Rice, author of The Vampire Chronicles blasted Meyers on Facebook for not being able to write, news outlets heavily criticized Twilight for glorifying abusive relationships, and it was widely panned as a negative influence on young adults, specifically teenage women. Just as the seriousness of Howl was parodied, Twilight likewise became a commonplace punchline, a lesser appreciated form of flattery. The times and the court room may have changed, but not the outrage.
Yet, the criticism of both works doesn't begin to overshadow the long-standing impact. Both works today are still polarizing with extremes on either side of the equation. Everyone that has come into contact has a strong opinion and you cannot be taken seriously in the poetry realm without knowing Howl and you cannot be taken seriously in Young Adult literature field without defending or tearing down Twilight. No other Young Adult book can claim such an honor because no other Young Adult book has commanded such literary longevity.
Quite easily, Twilight is right on track to stand the test of time and thus, criticism aside, arguably has literary merit. Ten years later, Twilight ranks consistently in the top 100 in Amazon.com sales boasting over 7,000 reviews, tops Goodreads.com Listopia's in nearly all notable categories, and holds the achievement of selling 3.7 million copies of Breaking Dawn in the first 24 hours of release.
Young Adult books have boomed since the Twilight Saga and publishing houses are pointedly looking for, "the next Twilight." Twilight is the litmus test of which nearly all young adult novels published today are held against, either being "like Twilight" or "not like Twilight." Novels about Twilight have added a critical peer review element to the novelty, such as my recent read The Psychology of Twilight (review coming soon!), which added critical layers that focused on race relationships, Darwinism, and survival instincts. Academia have taken note and I recall years ago reading without surprise that Cambridge University was teaching Twilight alongside classic literature. In 2013, Forbes.com commented on the Twilight impact, claiming that off the bookshelf, it had additionally revitalized the cinema landscape proving "Twilight and its respective sequels finally and indisputably proved that there was a real and potent market for blockbuster franchises explicitly aimed at, and unquestionably about, women."
Yes, it has been a decade - should we still be talking about Twilight? The simple answer is yes, because Twilight is standing the test of time. It is a groundbreaking work which revitalized and continues to influence an entire Young Adult genre, endures academic fascination, has outpaced criticism, and whose first book alone not only sold over 100 million copies but refuses to hop off the bestsellers list. With the 10th Anniversary approaching later this month, Twilight can no longer be pushed aside as a craze; it is enduring, and is actively transcending from fan-driven obsession to literature. If you love Young Adult writing, you don't necessarily need to be on Team Edward or Team Jacob, but you do need to recognize the literary merit and join Team Twilight.

The market for fuels and vehicles is increasingly global and understanding what is happening around the world can enhance long-term strategic planning. As automakers increasingly seek to harmonize their vehicle production plans and governments seek best practices to achieve their specific objectives, regulations that may seem distant to some markets can still have significant influence. For markets that have not yet acted to address these issues, it may only be a matter of time before regulators will likely look to other nations for ideas. That's one of the key themes behind "Global Initiatives: Assessing Current and Future Global Initiatives on Fuels and Vehicles," released by the Fuels Institute and prepared by yours truly.
Almost 60 countries have developed or will be developing biofuels programs such as blend mandates and fiscal incentives.
More than 40 countries have implemented or plan to implement mandatory GHG emission/fuel economy standards.
More than 20 cities and/or countries have taken actions to ban or limit the use of internal combustion engines.
At least 13 countries have programs to support zero emission vehicle markets.
The vast majority of countries have mandated a reduction the sulfur content of diesel fuels and implemented light duty vehicle emissions reduction programs.


This paper provides an overview of the history and contemporary roles of museums. It has a strong theoretical orientation and highlights the importance of collections and artefact-based analysis as key components of anthropological research.
Drawing on the internationally renowned collections of the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (artefacts, photographic materials and archives), alongside comparative cross-cultural examples, the paper examines ways in which objects are produced, circulated, interpreted and displayed. Central topics include the relationship between persons and things, materiality and agency, the politics and poetics of representation, and the relationship between museums and various community stakeholders.
The course also provides a solid grounding in museum practice, including care and handling of artefacts, documentation, collections management, exhibition and outreach. Students have the opportunity to gain transferable skills through work experience at MAA and active involvement in a range of museum projects. In addition, fieldtrips to museums are organised in Michaelmas and Lent terms as a scheduled part of the course and for which the Department reimburses travel expenses.
Please note: Applicants wishing to follow the option in Social Anthropology and Museums would benefit from previous experience in the relevant area.
For scientific medicine (or biomedicine), 'the human body' has traditionally been a key construction at the centre of attention in an understanding of disease and its cure. Whilst the assemblages of biomedicine have been both efficacious and powerful, there have often been mismatches and tensions with other understandings of what constitutes illness and how best it should be treated and by whom. Medical Anthropology has traditionally made it its business to point to some of the mismatches and problems, and this course underlines that these issues arise in a variety of contexts from post-colonial Africa to Europe and North America.
More recently, some biomedical practices have tried to make space for what has been seen as the social or cultural – and anthropology, conversely, has paid new attention to the objects and practices of the natural sciences on which medicine depends. Medical Anthropology has incorporated both of these trends. The course will give an overview of the history of medical anthropology, paying attention to the main approaches and to some of the key themes that have emerged. In the Michaelmas term, this will mean examining affliction or illness, and different definitions of the cause and processes of remedy, in a range of contexts. In the Lent and Easter terms, this is continued but we also see, in a sweep through certain biomedical assumptions, norms, evidence and technologies, that some of the problems they have gathered around themselves have taken 'ethical' shape. To biopower and biosociality is added bioethics. We look at a range of issues that can include contested illnesses, death, and the use of human tissue in therapy and research.
Please note: Applicants wishing to follow the option in Medical Anthropology would benefit from previous experience in the relevant area.
Applicants wishing to follow the option in Medical Anthropology are required to complete their dissertation on a medical topic.
Please note: The Medical Anthropology, Anthropology of Museums and Anthropology of Media and Visual Culture options will NOT run in 2019/20.

Architect Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957) designed the Palace of Fine Arts to appear as a crumbling Roman ruin within a natural landscape. The backdrop was the 625-acre Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915, a world's fair celebrating the discovery of the Pacific Ocean by Vasco Nunez de Balboa (1513), the opening of the Panama Canal, and the meteoric rebirth of the city of San Francisco following the devestating earthquake and fire of 1906.
The Palace was to be a temporary structure, as were all the world's fair buildings, framed in wood and covered with staff, a burlap and plaster-type fibre. However, due to the efforts of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the Palace Preservation League was established, and decades-long efforts to save Maybeck's palace have finally come to fruition.
In January, 2011, SF celebrated the completion of a 7-year, $21 million dollar project, a public-private partnership between the city and the Maybeck Foundation. Restoration included seismic upgrades, new entrances, pathways, replacement of the rotunda floor and roof of the dome, and a beautifully landscaped remodel of the lagoon.
Originally designed to exhibit the work of contemporary artists, the building has had its share of unusual occupants over the span of nearly a century. Between the years of 1934 and 1942, the interior sported 18 lighted tennis courts. Today it houses the Exploratorium, the Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception. In 2013 this museum will move to larger quarters at Pier 15 on the Embarcadero.
Late afternoon or early morning are the best times to stroll the promenade and admire the Palace of Fine Arts from many angles. Make sure your camera battery is all charged up!

A recent article titled 'Cystic fibrosis drug given green light in England' explains that a new drug which aims to improve lung function in patients with CF has been released to the public. Before you read the article...
What do you know about CF?
For more information about CF – go to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust website
The term cystic fibrosis comes from:
cystic: describing a cyst, from the Greek word kystis which means bladder or pouch. In the case of CF, the cysts form in the pancreas.
fibrosis: fibrous growth in an organ (in the case of CF, in the pancreas), from the Latin word fibra which means a fibre or filament.
CF was recognised as a specific disease by Dorothy Hansine Andersen, an American pathologist and paediatrician in 1938, although descriptions of the condition are evident from the late 16th century.
Language Focus 1: Adjectives with life
life-extending: helping people live longer
life-shortening: condition which causes people to have a shorter life than the average person
life-threatening: condition which may cause a person to die
life-affirming: something which makes you feel glad to be alive
lifespan: the period of time that a person exists
lifetime; the period of time something or someone exists (I've seen many changes in my lifetime)
Language Focus 2: describing death
fatal: something which is able to cause death (I a fatal illness) or a serious consequence (a fatal flaw in the design of the building)
mortal: something that causes death, e.g. a mortal blow to the head
lethal: something which is specifically designed to cause death, e.g. a lethal injection to execute someone
terminal: likely to cause death, often used to describe the end stages of an illness, e.g. terminal cancer
deathly: something which resembles death, e.g. a deathly pallor (very pale skin)
Now, read the article and answer the questions.
Why do people with CF require frequent hospitalisation?
Why might the new drug be 'good for taxpayers and patients'?
What is a 'green light'? What other expression do you know with the same meaning?
Cystic fibrosis drug given green light in England
A life-extending drug for cystic fibrosis will be available on the NHS in England, health bosses say.
NHS England reached a deal with the manufacturers of Orkambi, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, after months of negotiations. Patients should be able to get the drug within 30 days.
The drug improves lung function and can be given to children as young as two.
The firm wanted to charge £100,000 per patient per year, but a compromise has been reached in a confidential deal.
It is understood to be significantly less than the sum originally asked for.
It comes after the Scottish Government reached an agreement with the manufacturers last month.
Wales and Northern Ireland can also access the drug under the same terms negotiated by NHS England.
'Good for patients and taxpayers'
Two other drugs made by Vertex - Symkevi and Kalydeco - will be made available as part of the deal.
These also treat cystic fibrosis symptoms, but cannot be used until a patient is 12.
The treatments do not work for all patients with cystic fibrosis - only those with certain mutations.
It is estimated about half of the 10,000 patients in the UK will benefit from these drugs.
Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening genetic condition that causes fatal lung damage.
Only around half of those with the condition live to celebrate their 40th birthday.
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said the deal was "good for patients and fair to British taxpayers".
Health Secretary Matt Hancock described it as "wonderful news" that would improve [sic]
Why do people with CF require frequent hospitalisation? Children with CF have frequent chest infections. Read more here: https://www.blf.org.uk/support-for-you/cystic-fibrosis/treatment
Why might the new drug be 'good for taxpayers and patients'? frequent hospitalisation is costly to health providers and to families who often have to take time off work to care for a sick child.
What is a 'green light'? What other expression do you know with the same meaning? Another expression is the go-ahead ('give something the go-ahead'). Read more about the development of the new drug here: https://www.statnews.com/2019/10/23/we-conquered-a-disease-how-vertex-delivered-a-transformative-medicine-for-cystic-fibrosis/

[Viewpoint] Loose lips gain tips
Strong ties or weak ties, which do you prefer? Most people would probably think the former would be the overwhelming choice. Not sociologist Mark Granovetter. In a sociological study, he interviewed several hundred people about how they got their jobs. Fifty-six percent of the respondents said an acquaintance was involved and of those, 69 percent said it was a weak tie, such as someone known only by name.
Strong ties facilitate easy communication and smooth collaboration but at the same time, the information being shared in a tightly-coupled relationship may have little value because it is similar or overlapping. A looselycoupled relationship is more useful in acquiring new ideas and can broaden the scale of weak ties even further.
In the corporate world, cultivating loosely-coupled relationships is a business strategy; it prioritizes quantity rather than quality of personal connections. This is necessary inside companies, where diverse ideas can lead to innovation. Proctor & Gamble, Google and Apple are examples of global companies where a variety of networking spurs innovation that breaches existing boundaries of competition.
To establish a wide web of relationships, companies should consider four strategies: • First, informal channels complement the communication limits of official channels and can absorb and transmit ideas from individuals. While informal channels are often perceived negatively as rumor mills, 82 percent of the information distributed through informal channels actually is true and worked positively in quickly spreading ideas as well as enabling free flowing communication, according to one finding. It is therefore necessary to have a variety of communication channels such as coffee breaks, blogs and online communities, to vitalize informal channels.
For example, IBM in 2004 began an internal service called "On Demand Workplace," a platform that integrates Wikipedia, blogs, online community and bookmark. Wiki has more than 30,000 individuals or groups who create information on a voluntary basis. Through the company's internal blog, spirited discussion is held on issues ranging from software development to business strategy. Meanwhile, it is also necessary to reorganize work space by examining employee traffic patterns so they can interact in a natural way.
• Second, shortcuts between teams or departments are needed. Communication among departments tends to wane as an organization becomes larger, which can reduce employee satisfaction and motivation.
It is therefore necessary to create shortcuts to facilitate the spread of information and sharing of ideas. For example, job rotation or exchange of department heads, creation of cross-functional teams and mixed education are good systems that can break down barriers between teams. In addition, online and offline conference and best-practice exchange meetings can be held for internal benchmarking. A Japanese manufacturer developed drum-type washing and drying machine by benchmarking the company's air conditioner technology. By utilizing the heat pump technology of air conditioners, it removed moisture from the laundry. As a result, fiber damage was reduced and drying time was shortened, cutting energy costs by 50 percent.
• Third, employees should be encouraged to engage in activities outside their workplace in order to actively interact with a complex and dynamic environment. The reason why IT companies and biotechnology companies flock to California's Silicon Valley is because it is the home of related companies and venture capital and has a personal networking infrastructure that enables them to easily monitor the market and technology.
Diversity inside a workplace is a precondition to creating a
sound, mutual interaction in various kinds of environments. Google, 3M, Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, General Electric and Goldman Sachs all operate a separate department and program to manage personnel diversity. For example, 3M has an HR advisory committee, while Google has a position called Chief Culture Officer. Also crucial are online and offline activities through academic societies, research meetings, information exchange meetings, blogs, and social networking services such as Twitter. Dell and Southwest Airlines collect complaints, questions and various ideas of customers through Twitter.
• Finally, networking between different sectors should be strengthened. Innovative ideas often come from a combination of ideas from different industries or businesses. Picasso was inspired by an African mask, which gave him cubist inspiration. Automaker Henry Ford, who introduced the modern assembly line, got his idea from a conveyor belt while touring a meatpacking plant in Chicago. G.S. Altshuller, who has been studying methods to promote innovation and creativity, classified more than 200,000 registered patents until 1946, and found that only 2 percent of patents were new inventions while 98 percent were utilized from existing ideas. To actively use technology and knowhow of a different company or industry, it is necessary to set up a search-specialized team.

The risk for multifactorial diseases is determined by risk factors that frequently apply across disorders (universal risk factors). To investigate unresolved issues on etiology of and individual's susceptibility to multifactorial diseases, research focus should shift from single determinant-outcome relations to effect modification of universal risk factors. We present a model to investigate universal risk factors of multifactorial diseases, based on a single risk factor, a single outcome measure, and several effect modifiers. Outcome measures can be disease overriding, such as clustering of disease, frailty and quality of life. "Life course epidemiology" can be considered as a specific application of the proposed model, since risk factors and effect modifiers of multifactorial diseases typically have a chronic aspect. Risk factors are categorized into genetic, environmental, or complex factors, the latter resulting from interactions between (multiple) genetic and environmental factors (an example of a complex factor is overweight). The proposed research model of multifactorial diseases assumes that determinant-outcome relations differ between individuals because of modifiers, which can be divided into three categories. First, risk-factor modifiers that determine the effect of the determinant (such as factors that modify gene-expression in case of a genetic determinant). Second, outcome modifiers that determine the expression of the studied outcome (such as medication use). Third, generic modifiers that determine the susceptibility for multifactorial diseases (such as age). A study to assess disease risk during life requires phenotype and outcome measurements in multiple generations with a long-term follow up. Multiple generations will also enable to separate genetic and environmental factors. Traditionally, representative individuals (probands) and their first-degree relatives have been included in this type of research. We put forward that a three-generation design is the optimal approach to investigate multifactorial diseases. This design has statistical advantages (precision, multiple-informants, separation of non-genetic and genetic familial transmission, direct haplotype assessment, quantify genetic effects), enables unique possibilities to study social characteristics (socioeconomic mobility, partner preferences, between-generation similarities), and offers practical benefits (efficiency, lower non-response). LifeLines is a study based on these concepts. It will be carried out in a representative sample of 165,000 participants from the northern provinces of the Netherlands. LifeLines will contribute to the understanding of how universal risk factors are modified to influence the individual susceptibility to multifactorial diseases, not only at one stage of life but cumulatively over time: the lifeline.

RS was primarily responsible for designing, initiating, drafting of the manuscript. JR participated in the writing of the paper.

Bristol 90
Our CompanyHeritageBristol 90 Berkeley
The Bristol Type 90 Berkeley competed unsuccessfully with the Hawker Horsley for an RAF general purpose bomber order.
This view of the first Bristol Berkeley J7403 shows the size of this large single-engine biplane.
The Bristol Type 90 Berkeley was a very large yet single engine biplane built during the inter-war years for a fast developing passenger transport requirement.
A major competitor to the Handley Page Handcross, the Westland Yeovil and and the Hawker Horsley, The Bristol Type 90 Berkeley was built against specification 26/23 which called for a two-seater general-purpose day or night bomber to be powered by a 650 hp Rolls-Royce Condor engine.
The result was a large and rather angular three-bay biplane and the prototype (J7403) first flew on 5th March 1925.
The aircraft was the first Bristol design to be given a Bristol 'Type' number rather than a simple model name. This also resulted in earlier aircraft from the Scout to the Jupiter Trainer to be retrospectively designated the Type 1 to Type 89 which meant that the Berkeley became the Type 90.
The prototype Berkeley showing the pilot's position in front of the wing leading edge.
Three Berkeley aircraft were built, the last being of all-metal construction whereas the first two had wooden wings. The second aircraft (J7404) flew on 24th November 1925 with the final example (J7405) flying on 11th February 1926.
Sadly the type was not ordered for production due to a decision declaring that the Royal Air Force would no longer operate single-engine bombers at night. The Hawker Horsley was eventually selected for production, with 112 aircraft seeing service with the RAF.
The three Berkeley aircraft built were actually delivered to the RAF and were used by the service. Later they were employed at The Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough for a range of experimental trials.
Despite their short service life one aircraft was reportedly still in use at the end of 1930.
J7405, the final Bristol Berkeley, was of all-metal construction.
Powerplant One 650 hp Rolls-Royce Condor III twelve-cylinder engine
Span 57 ft 11 in
Maximum Weight 8,128 lb
Capacity & Armament Pilot and observer/gunner/bomb aimer: One fixed forward-firing Vickers machine gun, one Scarff-mounted Lewis machine gun and a further Lewis gun fired from a ventral hatch, plus single 550 lb bomb under fuselage, or two 230 lb bombs underwing.
Maximum Speed 120 mph at 2,000 ft; 110 mph at 6,500 ft
Endurance 12 hours (range 860 miles)
Variants & Numbers built
Three only, RAF serials J7403, J7404 and J7405, the last example being of all-metal construction.

How delightful is the beauty and simplicity of Monchique, as shown here, and rightly so!
Monchique is probably one of the nicest places in the Algarve if not the whole of Portugal. You realise this when you just sit and relax and take in the views or in the town just watching and listening to the locals going about their daily business. It's unique these days to find a place that is not ruined with tourists, yet there are plenty of tourists about, they just seem different. I think Monchique attracts a different type.
One of the major attractions apart from the beautiful scenery is the food. We could not find a restaurant we did not like, everyone is a bit different with such a variety of dishes, all local, reasonably priced, actually half the price of those down on the coast. A litre of house wine for 5 Euros, really!
The peaks of Foia and Picota are well worth a visit either walking or by car, the views are spectacular. There are plenty of level walks along the contour roads and tracks, they are well signposted so you won't get lost. Thee is plenty of accommodation, from Hotels to Bed and Breakfasts to luxury villas, we stayed at Caldas and found it more than satisfactory. The Tapas bar there is quite good too.
Visited Monchique a couple of years ago and enjoyed it ever so much. The scenery and views are wonderful and so green compared to the rest of the Algarve which is dry and scrub. Its the cork oaks which make it so green. We went on many a picnic in the area next to streams, I can't remember the names and we ate out in a couple of the restaurants both were excellent value and great traditional food.
The town centre is cute with cobbled streets, cafe's, restaurants and craft shops. Some great architecture and chimneys. All in all it is a very safe and relaxing atmosphere and it is still the old Portugal. I would consider retiring there if ever I get the chance, but in the meantime will just have to settle for holidays, having a look now that's how I found this site.

Groenplaats is een Antwerps premetrostation, gelegen onder het gelijknamige plein in het centrum van de stad.

Station Groenplaats (geopend 25 maart 1975) is een van de oudste premetrostations van Antwerpen. Het is te herkennen aan de groene inkleding op de perrons richting Linkeroever en aan de bakstenen afwerkingen op de perrons richting Meir. Vanaf de perrons kijkt men uit op het werk "The Rainforrest" (Menno), een groene tegelmuur in golfjes. Vroeger bevond zich nog een ander kunstwerk, een uitgeholde witmarmeren steen, op het zogenaamde "Trefpunt" onder de kiosk. Het was de bedoeling dat dit station later zou omgebouwd worden naar een metrostation, maar die plannen werden in 1974 al verlaten.

Oorspronkelijk voor de opening van de Brabotunnel op 21 september 1990 hadden de ondergrondse lijnen hier hun eindpunt. Trams reden via niveau -2 naar een keerlus onder het plein om na een ronde op hetzelfde niveau -2 op het perron richting Meir uit te komen. Deze laatste helling heeft nu onderaan een doorgang naar perron -3; waar vroeger de keerlus lag ligt nu een doodlopend spoor, bereikbaar via het spoor komende vanaf station Meir (wissel vlak voor het station). De doorgaande sporen zijn aangesloten op de Brabotunnel.

Op niveau -1 bevindt zich momenteel een lokethal met aansluiting op de beide perrons en uitgangen gaande naar de Karel de Grote-Hogeschool, de Groenplaats, de ondergrondse parking en het GB Shopping Center. Op niveau -2 bevindt zich het perron richting Linkeroever, en op niveau -3 ligt het perron richting Meir. Naast het station Groenplaats ligt het koopcentrum Grand Bazar Shopping waar onder andere een Fnac-winkel is gevestigd, en een ondergrondse betaalparking. Het station heeft een ondergrondse doorgang naar beide bouwwerken.

Op 1 september 2012 werd  tram 2 hier door tram 9 vervangen.

Toekomst
Volgens plan 2021 (zie Nethervorming basisbereikbaarheid) zouden eind 2021 de vier bovengenoemde tramlijnen vervangen worden door de premetrolijnen M3, M7 en M9. Bovengronds zou dan overgestapt kunnen worden op tramlijn T10. Er werd in maart 2021 besloten om dit plan enkele jaren uit te stellen tot er voldoende nieuwe trams geleverd zijn.

Vroegere plannen
Volgens vroegere plannen moest dit station een kruistation worden waar de huidige oostwestlijn van de premetro in het verlengde van de Nationalestraat met een noordzuidlijn zou kruisen die ondergronds van het Klapdorp langs de Melkmarkt naar dit station en verder onder de Nationalestraat naar het Museum voor Schone Kunsten op het Zuid zou lopen. Deze plannen zijn nooit verder geraakt dan de ontwerpfase.

Washington, D.C.—Donald Trump's decision to raise money from the same special-interest donors he has criticized throughout his campaign will make his central message of being "unbought" ring hollow with voters, said money-in-politics group Every Voice in a statement today. He is also the only candidate still in the race who has not offered a comprehensive platform to address the broken system.
"Without a concrete policy and action plan to reduce the influence of money in politics, Donald Trump's claims that he'll stand up to special interests and his criticism of Hillary Clinton's fundraising will soon ring hollow. His self-funding wasn't real reform but at least he could claim with a straight face that he wasn't relying on big checks. As he succumbs to the very same donor class he has criticized almost every day of his campaign, Mr. Trump's core message of being 'unbought' will be untrue," said David Donnelly, president and CEO of Every Voice.
"And the donors, the special interests, the lobbyists have very strong power over these people." September 15, 2016.
"These are special interests, folks. These are lobbyists. These are people that don't necessarily love our country. They don't have the best interests of our country at heart. We were not going to let it happen. We can't. We have to do something about it." February 8, 2016.
"I know that a lot of groups, a lot of the special interests, and a lot of the lobbyists and the people that want to have their little Senator do exactly as they want, they're going to put $20 or $25 million dollars into it over the next two weeks…and if he wins they'll have total control." March 2, 2016.
"We're not buying equipment that sells because they have political pull. Because they take campaign and they give campaign contributions. We are going to get the equipment that they want, not the equipment that they're told to have by senators and congressmen in Washington." February 21, 2016.
"I'm self-funding and I am going to take care of the people – not the special interests and insurance companies like the other candidates." February 19, 2016.
"When will @TedCruz give all the New York based campaign contributions back to the special interests that control him." January 17, 2016.
"Jeb, if he were President, it would just be more of the same, it would be just— he's got money from all of the lobbyists and all of the special interests that run him like a puppet." December 20, 2015.

India Remembers Horrifying Mumbai Terror Attacks
Posted 26 November 2009 11:31 GMT
26/11. Image by Flickr user -g-r-a-c-e-. Used under a Creative Commons License
One year ago, Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital came under a well-coordinated terrorist attack that lasted for 3 days. Downtown Mumbai, or "town" as it is popularly known was the target of 10 young men who reportedly arrived by boats from Pakistan and attacked the railway station, the main artery for commuters and a series of luxury hotels, a popular bar and a Jewish home. At least 200 people died in the attack and at least 308 people were injured. All but one young Pakistani attackers survived. That lone survivor Kasab is in India and has been the primary source of information about the attack. Nobody has claimed the body of the 9 young men, who launched the attack and paralysed Mumbai.
Only one word, fear! Collage by Flickr user Keerthi. Used under a Creative Commons License
For three days people around the world witnessed the brutal carnage unfold on their television sets. In hindsight it appears that the 10 young men were receiving instructions from a source in Pakistan on how to execute the attack.
Earlier today on the eve of the first anniversary of 26/11 the Government of Pakistan announced that it has charged seven suspects for organizing the attack. The seven arrested men have not pleaded guilty to the charge according to reports.
Madhavi at The Trajectory blog writes that Pakistan's actions comes after a year of "vehement denial" of the attacks. She continues:
"The most high profile name among those charged is Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, head of the banned militant group Laskar-e-Taiba."
Madhavi's post has an interesting twist in the end when she asks:
"Pakistan has handed India an anniversary gift for 26/11 in the form of Lakhvi & company's verdict; the people of India are still hoping to receive forgotten anniversary gifts. March 13th 1993, December 13th 2001, July 11th 2006, November 26th 2008…how many more strikes do we need before even a single mastermind of these terrorist attacks is punished by the Government of India?"
Nita at A Wide Angle View of India wonders why are the foot soldiers (the Mumbai police) being blamed for doing an effective job in staving off the attack? It is not the foot soldiers that need to be blamed, but the top politicians and security folks of Mumbai. She writes:
"So many died in vain, but not a single person has taken responsibility for the carnage. We need to mourn the dead, but we also need to ask for the answers. It is the top cops and the politicians who are to blame. For the lack of coordination and action. It is really pathetic and in really bad taste to see television channels blast the foot soldiers. Try and shame those poor unequipped men who had rifles that were rusted, men who ran helter skelter because they had no leader to direct them. Men who weren't even sure where the terrorists were, how many there were, what they were up to. […]
The foot soldiers in Mumbai had nothing. If some of them ran, let us not blame them."
While there were lots of articles written and many recommendations made in the immediate aftermath of 26/11 not much progress has happened, writes Filter Coffee. He writes:
"Sadly, barring a few cosmetic rearrangements, not much has changed in India, and no one, least of all Mumbaikars seem to care."
Nyaypati Gautam of India Story appears to echo the feelings of Filter Coffee about the lack of change in the past year. But, he wonders what it is that he can do to bring about some change? He writes:
"We continue to be as apathetic as before. If any terror strike were to happen today I fear that the same things would get re-enacted. I hope I have got it wrong but I have a dirty feeling that I am not. It is so frustrating. What can I do to channelise this anger in a meaningful way?"
Many people used Twitter to share news and express their opinions. Here are a few examples of those messages:
RodrigoRMorais: USA Today is saying "Mumbai commemorates one-year anniversary of terror attacks". What is there to commemorate about?
aniljayakumar: A minute for Mumbai………….
NitinNDTV: all of us will forever remember 26/11,but let's not forget victims of earlier attacks & the brave men who continue to die in defending India
madhavgk: Politicians abused after 26/11 last year… politicians abused after 26/11 this year… nothing changes in Indian politics!
nsohanlal: 26/11 Jingoism on twitter today… Alas will be forgotten as a mundane Monday come Sunday!

There is a drastice reduction in the blame game. And its because they (authorities) have realised that the people are really angry and can overthrow them in a jiffy.
Saw Mr Chidambaram on the TV fielding questions. I think he is doing a good job at the present difficult circumstances. Like he said "what you see is an accumulated neglect which has to be sorted out"

Saqlain Kabadia
The media can help in the fight against terrorism by making an optimistic overview / report on how effectively Pakistan is saying no to terrorism. Instead of remembering the Mumbai attacks which were accused to be that planned by Pakistan, the media can show the world how effectively we are fighting terrorism and condemn it. There will be no questions asked after the success in the Swat operation and now the ongoing activity in South Waziristan.

In the light of the above post, I am reminded of a book on anger management that analyzed the 'ABC' of anger management. Anger ('A') arises at the senseless violence of the perpetrators of the said tragedy and against the masterminds thereof. The belief ('B') is strong that Pakistan is the source from which such terror attacks take place. It is difficult to control ('C') the reaction thereto–to hit out at the 'enemy' country which is the haven for terrorists. But debate ('D') there has to be and discernment that not all persons in that country are our enemies and an equilibrium ('E') state has to be reached whereby remedial steps can be taken and justice vindicated by bringing the culprits to book. At least an endeavor should be made in that direction without further delay. Pakistan is under an obligation to do so.

Sankaran,
"The Draconian Monster"
I tend to agree with you somewhat but not entirely. You are tackling something that is not so simple, or can be solved by your (A, B, C, D, & E) analysis. We are dealing here with a monstrous ideology that is deeply rooted in glorified terror and violence since the ancient of times. I am afraid, It can not be easily dragged and cured in a anger-management-clinic. This ancient belief in the Moongod Allah and it's ruthless draconian rules of practice is just that. It is embedded in the hearts of every Muslim who is willing to die for it's honor with a promise of seven virgins in heaven; it's roots are so deep that only a revolution of gigantic proportions could bring it back to the civilized world. I am very skeptical however that such positive changes will occur in Pakistan or in the Muslim world anytime soon. These terrorists are shackled by their own deceptive belief system which allows them no freedom of reasoning. Unfortunately, this ideology has a potential of destroying itself and the world we know. This ideology mixed with weapons of mass destruction could manufacture a fatal cocktail of doom and gloom for all humans on earth. The signs of which are beginning to emerge all around us, even in India. Without a doubt, if unchecked this monster could devour the entire world.

All religions state the same underlying knowledge, though in different forms. I beleive that the paths(of diff religions) to be different but the the final destination of all these paths to be one.But, by a matter of fact, people fight over these paths. it's jst like fighting for the peel of the banana than for the fruit itself. And I also beleive that evil people exist everywhere and they cannot be bifercated into religions, caste, race or creed. I cannot claim all hindus to be good and all muslims to be bad , or i cannot apply this rule to any other religion for that matter. So primarily, it is not just on their part, but we ourselves should also abstain from marginalising people based on their religion. But, at the same time, we should focus more on actually catagorising people based on their nature and deeds…primarily as good and evil. If we start dealing with things in this context, i beleive we can contribute meaningfully in creating a much better place for the humanity to thrive in

With regards to the mumbai carnage, i share similar feelings as most people do. But we also need to remember that those 10 youths were also brainwashed on the lines of their religious idealogy. In short they identified the fruit with itz peel than with the fruit itself.Actions on those lines would lead to more and more of negative vibes in the society.Instead of sitting at the top of the tree to find a solution, we need to get to itz roots. Thats where the real solution would lie. Remember the saying "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Harbouring negative feelings would lead to negative actions and further negative fallout. Voilence would lead us nowhere. We should get down to the root cause of all these problems and i beleive serious and meaningful dialogue in this respect would do the job much better as the other path(of violence) would only lead to the spillout of even more violence in the society.

The global image if Pakistan will not be improved till we get rid of extremism from the root. Majority of people of Pakistan are peace loving and tolerant and this needs to be exposed on global level through the help of responsible media.
murtaza
\Cleaning up the global image\
The image of Pakistan is tarnished because of its Sharia laws. What makes it even worse is its blasphemy laws. When Quran boldly teaches to eradicate all the infadels, therefore it's beleivers can not be considered peace loving or tolerant in any shape or form.
I beleive the Pakistanis themselves have a greater responsibility to change their global image, nobody else is going to do it for you.
Yes, the media could be biased at times but in Pakistan's case it may not be so biased. The history of Pakistan's terrorist acts speaks volumes.
@Maishi. You are wrong. The religion does not teach to kill the infidels. Islam does not teach extremism Just like Christianity of any other religion does not teach hatred. Islam teaches tolerant and one must go back to the scripture. Some Muslims as of today are on the wrong path and they must be addressed.
You must be kidding me! Do you ever read Quran and Hadees and understand the Sharia laws, are you in denial, or are you one of those among many who memorize the Quranic verses and have yet to understand the meaning of them? Let me tell you Islam both in theory and practice has not shown itself as a religion of peace or tolerance. The evidence of that is everywhere in the world, just open your eyes and see, or ask your Immam. Most of the Muslims tend to play the blame game and continue to justify violence in the name of Allah.
I could give you hundreds of suras as a reference of intolerance, but would you honestly read it, I don't think so. Much of Islam is based on the teaching of pre-Islamic moon idol Illah; symbols (moon & star) of whom are proudly displayed on every mosque. For these reasons alone, I don't think, I could be considered wrong.
But I love your last statement Murtaza: "Some Muslims as of today are on the wrong path and they must be addressed." I hope to God somewhere or someone can right the ship of Islam in believing that we are all children of God, and life is a precious gift of God. And no human being on earth has a right to destroy it in the name of God whether Muslim or Christian. Ameen.

Matt Pond PA
The Nature of Maps (2002)
Polyvinyl
Reviewer Cara
By the third listening of Matt Pond PA's newest cd, The Nature of Maps, which will be released on October 29th, I found myself singing along to the opening guitar riffs of the first song on the cd, "Fairlee." The guitar riffs kept me interested for most of the song, but the lyrics and vocals were a little disappointing, nothing to match the guitar parts or the many layers of sound created by the varied instrumentation of the group. Without a doubt, the cd definitely has some interesting and (sometimes) catchy blends of instruments and sound. With two cellos, two guitars, a bass, drums, various percussion, and even a vibraphone, keyboards, violin, harp, and banjo making appearances on this album, this is not your everyday garage band.
Besides the first track, the only other song that stood out to me in the first four tracks was track three, "The Party", which continues to pick up layers as it gets further into the song creating a really cool affect by the end of the song, where the layers gradually fade out again until only a simple guitar rhythm is left–the same guitar rhythm the song started with. The vocals on this song are probably some of the better on the cd, just because of the overlapping of the lead vocals and the backup, helping to produce the many layers. With track five and six, "New Kehoe NJ" and "Close Map" respectively, the Pond party picks up the pace a little… I was starting to wonder if this was the type of music you listen to in bed on a rainy day, half-asleep… But then track seven, ("No More, Again") brings us back to the rainy day mood with nothing but acoustic guitar, piano, and strings, with a 50 second little interlude type of thing that leads up to track eight, "Summer Is Coming." I really have no idea what those fifty seconds on that track are about. Anyway, "Summer Is Coming" picks up the pace again, has some fun little guitar parts, and is, I think, one of the better tracks on the cd. At times, the guitar parts, drums, and vocals almost reminded me of Death Cab for Cutie. Track ten, "A Million Middle Fingers" mixes things up a bit: if I just popped into a cd player, you might not be able to tell if it was an eighties pop song or… Matt Pond PA? Hard to believe, I know. Well, I actually like the fact that they try a little different mix of sounds from the earlier tracks. But it only clocks in at two minutes even, leaving me with just a taste and nothing to satisfy my curiosity. The last song on the album, "Athabasca," left me with good memories of the cd, with its Beatles-esque sound and lyrics. Finally a song that I think I want to sing along to and maybe could! Definitely a good closer to the album, with its simple yet catchy and sweet melody, possibly the best on the whole album.
The combination of sounds on this cd definitely interested me and kept me in wait, and for that, I give them bonus points. Furthermore, these musicians are talented and they know what they are doing, but they keep the music deceptively simple– I wish they would stretch their legs a little bit more. I really liked some of the combos in sounds, but I wish they had mixed up their sound even a little more than they did. I wish there was a little more of the extremes and little less of everything in the middle. Except for track one (with the nice sing-along guitar parts) and track three (and even that starts off slowly), the first half of the cd is nothing too memorable. I think the vocals could really use some improvement. The lead, Matt Pond seems to stay pretty much in the same range, with not too much variation throughout the cd. Once again, I wish he had stretched his ability a little bit more and done something a little more out of the ordinary, something more memorable. Overall, I thought there were a couple of really good tracks on the album, but too many in between those good ones that were more forgettable. The cd improves as it progresses through the tracks and the group starts to try out some new things by the end… but even there, it falls a little short. The last few songs, especially the last, "Athabasca," left me asking for more–but also wondering why it took so long to get to there.

Stitches Of Affection
There was a tailor in Bhavnagar City. His name was Aatmaram. He was an expert tailor. He worshipped Shriji Maharaj heartily. He prepared a coat for Shriji Maharaj. For this he worked hard for days and nights. Then he offered it to Shriji Maharaj. Maharaj liked the coat very much. He wore it. He said, "Bhagat, the coat is very fine." "Ask for anything and it shall be given." "Take my care, Maharaj, I want only that much," said Aatmaram. Maharaj agreed, "It shall be done." "If you are pleased, we are pleased," said Aatmaram. Maharaj was overjoyed. This story reached the ears of the king of Bhavnagar. "I shall also have the similar type of coat," thought the king. He sent for Aatmaram and said, "Prepare such a coat for me and I will give you as much as you want." This means that Aatmaram would get rupees, a house, a farm or land, whatever he demands. Aatmaram was a poor man. He came to Bhavnagar from elsewhere.
So if he pleased and if he gets the wealth, Aatmaram would get rid of permanent poverty. Moreover, his tailoring business would run smoothly and better as a king's tailor. But his mind was very much attached to Maharaj. He kicked out the temptation of wealth and fame. He said to the king, "O king! please pardon me." "I can not sew such a coat for you!" The king was astonished, "Why? I will give you the finest piece of cloth." "I will give you all facilities you want." "That's true, O king, but one thing more is required for that." "That thing I don't have now," replied Aatmaram. The king was overwhelmed. "What more is required for this ?" asked the king. "Love, affection, devotion! I have taken stitches of love in Maharaja's coat." "Where shall I get this affection from, for your coat ?" humbly replied Aatmaram.
Had there been any other king, he would have become angry with Aatmaram. But this was Bhavnagar Naresh (king). He could not be angry. He at once understood that. How can we find the similar love of a person for his king as he (person) has for his God? Instead of becoming angry with Aatmaram, the king was very much pleased with him and congratulated Aatmaram, awarded a prize to Aatmaram for not preparing his coat. Aatmaram bowed the king with love.

It is widely believed by reformed Christians that the work by B B Warfield is the definitive answer to the question of miracles after the Apostles. This book is written by a non-charismatic from the reformed fold who believes God does intervene in the world today, and gives evidence to prove it. Reformed Christians should never be afraid to question the work of other human beings... and this book is a lively contribution to what is hoped will be a re-opening of the discussion!


While most of us were able to get out and enjoy the lovely weather for the past few days, poor Richie has been slaving away on the latest masterpiece as part of 'Project 42'; the Weedsprayer.
Here's a look at the tanks so far. Please note that it is still a work in progress, with items to be added and revised before production, but we know you all like a glimpse of our stuff as it progresses!
Cheers Fran for the update it's always appreciated to see the development progress. C'ant wait for these. The MK1 van definitely needs to be produced to finish off a legendary prototype train and quite possibly the model to beat all models.
And for god's sake let Richie out of the room I'll even supply pints for him myself.
Jaysus Red, I'd take you up on that had I the time. The wiggly green pipe that used to traverse the sides, and how to do it, is currently addling me, amongst other things. R.
Er -- Tanks for that image !? Looking good - flex pipe- alloy casting perhaps this would allow a little flex when constructed and add a little individuality to each build as I am certain the hoses lay changes with movement. The inter vehicle hoses self colour nylon with magents moulded in ends for attaching to each other?
Yes for the MK 1 but can you make the sprayer work - diliute pva ?? DCC of course - joking !!
Hope your modelling mojo does not melt in the heat plenty of suitable fluids available I imagine down the local for "an afterwork."
Looks like its going to be a beauty!! Great modelling job Richie.
Cheers Sean, always appreciated from a fellow traveller!
Looking good guys. Have you decided to include the actual weed spray wagon itself with this ensemble (i.e. the BR mk1 coach)?
Not yet Noel, it's even more niche than the plough van to be honest. We will let you all know when we decide!
Just such a shame to have a full IRM standard weedspray train only to have to shove my Silver Fox van in the middle of it. Like a weed in the middle of a flower bed.
We'll try our best Graham, honest. We have a couple of ideas to make it viable, but it has to have a solid business case too as I'm sure you can appreciate.
By the time the weedspray goes on pre-order I'm sure we will have a concrete answer on the van. Taking time to see if another model follows can be a risky game though, as we have some punters who decided to not buy ballast hoppers as we hadn't announced plough vans, and when we announced plough vans the first run of ballast wagons had sold out, meaning they missed out. We would hate to see the same happen to people with the weedsprayer. The plan this time is to let people know the van will be done by the time the weedsprayer goes on sale and we will do our best to do so.
Thanks Fran. That's spot on and will allow folks to plan appropriately.
Hopefully the history of the vehicle will allow some Accurascale crossover with Mk 1 bullion van or catering item like an RKB to "cross subsidise" the project. the MK5 bogie and basic underframe and vehicle ends might crossover.
Certainly for me non availability will not be an issue having now got a fox and brass sides EGV to hand one could go yellow easily enough.

The Bristles: Last Days of Capitalism (Vinyl LP)
Heptown Records
Record ships in 3-6 business days
Limited vinyl LP pressing. The Bristles' 2015 album Last Days of Capitalism is a review of the past two years' events ending up in the current economic and political crisis. The economic crisis has led to war, and the political crisis consists of the fascism it brought. Racism and chauvinism are now norm. Other topics covered are the West's mass consumption, men's global war on women, the Left's failure, and multinational companies grip around people. Then there are some more traditional working-class songs about work buyers reprimands, and neglecting ones job for the last time. Musically it follows the frustration over the state of affairs. It's fast, hard, simple and crude. There are no false notes, it's not out of tune, no-one's playing anything wrong, although it may appear so, it's exactly the way it's supposed to be. Hate in Vain, Hail Hail Chauvinism, No Revolution in Our Life Time, Men's Global War on Women (Gendercide), Sweden Where God Only Comesto Shit, Jimmie Jimmie, Trust Your Multinational Corporations, Viva Fake (Punk on Sale), Waiting for Linda from Human Relations, Consumptionto Death, Last Time We Won't Do That Chief, This Is Not for You

Our Science » Research Observatories » WIYN 0.9m Telescope
The WIYN 0.9m Observatory supports the current and future research and educational needs of its scientists by operating and maintaining the 0.9m facility at its highest standards. The 0.9m Observatory strives to develop opportunities to enable frontier astrophysical research. Having a research grade facility available to graduate and undergraduate students, alike, enables students to connect directly with science.
In 2001 the WIYN Consortium, led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Indiana University, assumed operational responsibility for the historic 0.9-meter (36-inch) telescope at the National Science Foundation's Kitt Peak National Observatory. As part of acquisition, the consortium chose to upgrade the control system, install new motors and encoders in all axes, for a state of the art observing facility.
The name of the telescope (the 0.9-meter) reflects the size of the primary mirror. The 0.9m is a Cassegrain telescope with a focal ratio of 7.5. There are two optical imaging instruments available for use at the 0.9m. S2KB is a single chip with a field of view of 20 arcmin. Mosaic has 8 chips with a field of view of 1 degree. Despite its relatively small aperture, the 0.9m is a popular telescope because of its large field of view.
