Navy deployment
By Latchford Locks,
July 21, 2021 in National/General Issues
Yesterday the announcement was made ....
A ROYAL Navy fleet of more than 20 warships is set to be based overseas in a challenge to China's dominance.
A carrier strike group — including an aircraft carrier, frigates, destroyers and a nuclear sub — could be based in Japan under Navy plans for a "more permanent presence in the Far East".
That was yesterday....
And today ..
Only one of the Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyers is operational, ministers have admitted.
HMS Defender, recently at the centre of a diplomatic row with Russia following a voyage off the Crimean peninsula, is the only vessel of the class without an issue.
The other five Type 45s all need work, either planned or due to problems developed while at sea.
OK whats going on .. I think we should just concentrate on defending our own shores and forget all this sabre rattling.
Our navy can only do so much given what it has at sea.
I've just heard that the Royal Navy has shore parties touring holiday resorts & requisitioning pedaloes. Perhaps they could also make use of some of the craft left by immigrants on the Kent foreshore.
Observer II
We've apparently got some old Admirals and Politicians who've been carried away with the notion that we have a post-Brexit opportunity to return to the days of rhe British Empire, where our global interests were protected by the largest Navy in the World. This is why they purchased (at great expense) two aircraft carriers, in order to project military power globally. The UK hasn't got sufficient sea power to take on China in any event; and while our sailors are busy trying to protect Taiwan and Japan; we currently have a mass invasion of this Country across the English Channel. Time for Gov to re-order it's priorities methinks.
The aircraft carrier is totally outdated and no doubt could be sunk by an enemy without to much trouble.
Terrible waste of money
Isn't it our latest ,up to date carrier. Have we filled the carriers with aircraft yet or are we still waiting for them to be delivered by China ?
They are on the way, Boris got a text from fed ex saying they were at the warehouse and a tracking number.....

"If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public, and the scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one..."
"...In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation than thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment on the subject."
For years, I have been especially interested in the manner in which President Carter's words and opinions regarding his experience with, and intentions by, what are called "UFOs", have been handled by the media. I have heard President Carter on more than one occasion, on outlets like CSPAN, in the course of addressing other world issues, discuss and even lament over his inability to fulfill his 1976 campaign pledge, reported in newspapers like The Daily Telegragh, to access and make public, government files regarding official inquiries and evidence regarding unidentified flying objects, the so-called "UFOs". I have also watched the peculiar manner in which prominent newscasters like Ted Koppel, host of ABC's Nightline have handled the subject when it has been presented to them. And, of course, there are the fascinating and comparatively little-known programs that deal with the subject at length. These programs and documentaries usually air on cable channels like The History Channel and Discovery Channel. Similar but smaller presentations like those which appear on the aforementioned outlets make can be seen on specialty programs like "Unsolved Mysteries" and years ago, on shows like "That's Incredible" or "In Search Of...".
In the decade that I have followed the subject and discussion that accompanies it, I have come to a handful of conclusions - one of which is that the U.S. government and its most senior officials, along with others in the private sector, absolutely, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, have evidence of the existence of UFOs; have maintained audio and video footage and written files of its own inquiry into the controversial subject; have deliberately obfuscated and obstructed the public's view, knowledge and understanding of the issue; and have worked with prominent members of the mainstream media to distract, marginalize, and discredit the legitimate activities and legal efforts of many who have publicly expressed their belief in the existence of UFOs, witnessed, photographed or filmed UFOs; or sought to obtain the government's own files on the subject.
Another conclusion that I have arrived at is that every single person that I have personally discussed the matter with, who dismisses it, has done so without any real contact with information pertaining to how the United States government has handled the controversy. Ridicule, ad hominem and ad populum attacks are the hallmark of such uninformed reactions, that really point to an emotional need in many such individuals for the so-called UFOs to not be real. Many others express their lack of interest in the subject and still, others, remain open-minded, intrigued or willing to engage any reasonable presentation on the subject. To say the least, a variety of reactions occur when the subject is broached, in public or private.
In my opinion, the manner in which the U.S. government has handled the matter is, in many ways, similar to how it handled decade-old rumors and suspicions, last century, that the American government was subversively and illegally working against legitimate law-abiding Black, civil rights, populist and progressive leaders and organizations.
Fortunately, we have much, but not all, of the government files that prove the reality of such an effort. This is due in large part to the release of previously secret government files on the work of the CIA and particularly the FBI's Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO). For many, the release of government files confirmed what many Blacks already knew or suspected was going on. Interestingly, what is now almost a uniformly accepted fact in the Black community, remains unknown and unbelievable for much of the larger White public, which includes individuals who believe that it is not even possible for its government to do what Blacks not only allege but can demonstrate evidence to support, through COINTELPRO files.
A very similar dynamic exists with the government's handling of the subject of UFOs.
And as there were many Blacks and Whites who eventually called for the release of government files regarding the existence of COINTELPRO; there is a like-minded group which has arisen that in a very methodical fashion, is working to open up, to public view, government files on UFOs that are known to exist, and other files that may exist on the subject. Not only has this group diligently worked to obtain the release of these files, they have also briefed prominent members of Congress and members at the highest level of the Executive Branch and intelligence community regarding the subject. In addition, and maybe most importantly, this group has gathered an impressive array of around 500 individuals, who primarily, as scientists, air traffic controllers, aircraft pilots, former government employees, and members of the defense, military and intelligence communities are prepared to testify before Congress regarding their direct experiences with UFOs and more.
The group is called The Disclosure Project, and in May of 2001, they held a major event where the group's Director, Steven M. Greer, M.D., and several of the Disclosure Project's witnesses, including several military generals, government officials with top-secret clearance, and former defense contractors who previously or currently work for companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, explained the purpose of the group and provided written information and video and radar footage indicating the existence of UFOs that exhibit technology and capabilities far superior to that which the general public has witnessed in commercial, military, and aerospace flight. Some of the presentations that day, including those from air traffic controllers from Mexico and a FAA Division chief were especially striking.
The Disclosure Project's press conference, by the admission of the National Press Club, generated the most public and media attention in the history of the prestigious Washington D.C.-based media members-only organization.
That press conference was one of the public events that the Disclosure Project undertook that week. In addition, private briefings and discussions with several members of the United States Congress took place and a day later, there was an exclusive VIP meeting, attended by a small group of scientists, military officials, defense contractors, air traffic controllers, and congressional staffers who were shown even more impressive video footage, government files, first-hand eyewitness accounts, and scientific arguments than were made available during the press conference.
I was one person included in this small group that met at a hotel conference room in Washington D.C. and witnessed what was presented and discussed.
"In the councils of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Anyone who is interested in reading an impressive literary work, which provides referenced documentation and a lucid narrative of the U.S. government's handling of the "UFO phenomenon", should obtain a copy of Above Top Secret - The World Wide UFO Cover-Up by Timothy Good.
"The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request, it is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future. I'm just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I hope we will not have to wait much longer."
And those individuals who are looking for an excellent primer on the reality of U.S. government secrecy and how and why the government withholds existing information and files, even from lawmakers who have the right to see such material should read Secrecy by former U.S. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Secrecy is a form of regulation. There are many such forms, but a general division can be made between those dealing with domestic affairs and those dealing with foreign affairs. In the first category, it is generally the case that government prescribes what the citizens must do. In the second category, it is generally the case that government prescribes what the citizen may know.
In the United States, secrecy is an institution of the administrative state that developed during the great conflict of the twentieth century. It is distinctive primarily in that it is all but examined. There is a formidable literature of the public mode, virtually none on secrecy. Rather, there is a considerable literature, but it is mostly secret. Indeed, the modes of secrecy remain for the most part - well, secret. On inquiry there are regularities: patterns that fit well enough with what we have learned about other forms of regulation. But there has been so little inquiry that the actors involved seem hardly to know the set roles they play. Most important, they seem to know the damage they can do. This is something more than inconveniencing to the citizen. At times, in the name of national security, secrecy has put that very security in harm's way.
How did secrecy and bureaucracy become so entwined - a vast secrecy system almost wholly hidden from view? What has it cost (no less than what it has achieved)? A clearer picture is emerging.
On 22 January 1958, CBS Television presented a program devoted to UFO's on its "Armstrong Theater Show," and one of those invited to appear was major Donald Keyhoe, Director of the National Investigations committee Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). Keyhoe had cultivated some excellent sources of information within military circles, and frequently stated on the air - and in his books - that the US government was withholding the facts in order to avoid panic.
There is an official policy, believed in the best interests of the people, not to confirm existence of UFOs until all the answers are known. Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, former Chief of Project Blue Book, has confirmed the existence of four important documents that should be noted. In 1948, in a "top Secret" estimate, the ATIC [Air Technical Intelligence Center] concluded that UFOs were interplanetary spaceships. In 1952, an Air Force Intelligence analysis of UFO maneuvers brought the same conclusion...interplanetary. In January 1953 a report by a panel of top scientists at the Pentagon reached this conclusion: There is strong circumstantial evidence, but no concrete proof that UFOs are spaceships.
Keyhoe was told that he could not use this statement. The final show was a farce, bearing little relation to the program as originally conceived, with the Air Force spokesman concentrating on some of the sillier stories of contacts with spacemen. By the time Keyhoe appeared with his heavily edited script, little could be done to salvage the situation. But in desperation he suddenly veered from his script on the teleprompter: 'And now I'm going to reveal something that has never been disclosed before...for the last six months we have been working with a congressional committee investigating official secrecy about UFOs..." But by now the producer had cut the audio off the air and the public never heard Keyhoe's concluding statement: "...If all the evidence we have given this committee is made public in open hearings it will absolutely prove that the UFOs are real machines under intelligent control."
NICAP later obtained a statement from the CBS Director of editing, Herbert A. Carlborg, which proves that Major Keyhoe was cut off the air in the interests of security. "This program had been carefully screened for security reasons," he said. "Therefore, it was the responsibility of this network to ensure performance that was in accordance with predetermined security standards. Any indication that there would be a deviation from the script might lead to a statement that neither this network nor the individuals on the program were authorized to release."
In the 1950s NICAP revealed some significant statements they had received from prominent members of Congress, of which the following give a clear indication of how seriously the aspect of official secrecy about the subject was treated.
Senator Leverett B Saltonstall (MA): "We must consider the genuine security necessities...but I think there are many cases in which more information should be made available to the public."
Representative William H. Ayres (OH): "Congressional investigations have been held and are still being held on the problems of unidentified flying objects…Since most of the material presented is classified, the hearings are never printed."
Representative Walter H.Moeller (OH): "[I have] every confidence that the American public would be able to take such information without hysteria. The fear of the unknown is always greater than fear of the known."
Representative Ralph J. Scott (NC): "If this information could be presented in such a way as to appeal to reason, and not to emotion, I think it would be a good thing.
Senator Richard B. Russell, former Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who had a sighting in the Soviet Union in 1955..., was subsequently asked about official secrecy by the aviation columnist Tom Towers. 'I have discussed this with the affected agencies of the government," the senator replied, 'and they are of the opinion that it is unwise to publicize the matter at this time."

Gene Bartow's Biggest Win
Gene Bartow doing what he loved--coaching
How do you measure a life? Gene Bartow is a legend now, having passed long ago from active coaching to the place where no one else can reach you—retired success. But since he passed away, Birmingham, Memphis and the college basketball world have been filled with remembering. He is a college basketball Hall of Fame coach who coached 1000 games in his career. He finished with a 647-353 record over 34-seasons. He [i]was a success at Memphis State, leading the Tigers to a remarkable championship game appearance in 1973, where they lost to UCLA and John Wooden. He was national coach of the year that year. In all, his teams appeared in the NCAA tournament 14 times.[ii]
He is too often only remembered in the national press for one thing– for a time when he was successful but it wasn't enough. He was chosen to succeed the legendary John Wooden at UCLA, the greatest coach of all time, who had a reign of ten titles in twelve seasons, the tenth in his retiring year, and seven in a row during that time.
So in 1975 Gene Bartow came to UCLA to replace the legendary Wooden when he retired. He stayed only two turbulent years. He was 52-9 record and took them to the NCAA tournament both years and was in the Final Four one of those. But it wasn't good enough. The Washington Post quotes one of his players, Marques Johnson from that team. "He was a
John Wooden and Gene Bartow
sensitive person," Johnson said in an interview. "He was used to being totally embraced as a coach and a person, and he was just not ready for the kind of vitriol thrown at him when he took Coach Wooden's place. He never came to grips with it, and it bothered him more than anything. After two years, he was gaunt and pale, and he refused to read the Los Angeles newspapers or listen to the radio because there was so much negativity. But he was a wonderful human being, a super nice guy and a great coach."[iii]
As a coach, Gene Bartow touched the edge of the big prize twice, but never won it all. He left the dream job that became a nightmare. He decided instead to come to Birmingham, Alabama and help build an athletic program and basketball team for a then-fledgling university at UAB. He did reach great success, including seven NCAA tournament appearances. But he never won the "big dance," as they say.
But another event, the dramatic run to the edge of a championship with the Memphis Tigers in 1973, may have been his real greatest moment. "I don't think this community ever had better race relations than when Gene coached at Memphis," a friend said. "He had the way of bringing everybody together to support his team and the entire university."[iv] It hadn't been long since the painful memory of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Times were tense in the entire country. Then the city of Memphis was unified for a time around the glorious run of a Cinderella team that almost did it.
They lost, as I mentioned, in the championship game, to the juggernaut UCLA, coached by Wooden and led by future
One game short, 1973
NBA stars Bill Walton and Keith Wilkes. So his highest career points were two Final Fours, a lot of tournaments, being the sacrificial lamb at UCLA, and then to rebuilding himself as well as building UAB in Birmingham.
So how do you measure a life? While we're measuring, it might also be worth mentioning that he ended his life with the nickname, "Clean Gene," a moniker few carry in college sports these days of rogue fans, agents and corruption, for the way he ran things. He gave a race-divided city in Memphis something else to rally around and focus on in a painful historical moment. He started a great program in the city where we live that has had some really great moments. He battled stomach cancer to the very end with humor and grace.
I think it is fitting that Gene Bartow passed from this earth in the time in which one weekend carried the UAB-Memphis game and will be followed next weekend by Martin Luther King day. I'd say, all in all, he did the right things. The rest is just wins and losses.
It always matters how you play the game. John Wooden and Gene Bartow would agree, and maybe now they get to talk about it. All the rest is just wins and losses and what other people think. Rest in Peace, Coach. You went out on top.

A comprehensive source for the requirements of the Venturing awards programs, this is the go-to book for every Venturing Scout ... now with more information than ever before! New edition combines the information previously found in the Venturing Quest Handbook (item 33151), Venturing Trust Handbook (item 33154), and Venturing Ranger Handbook (item 33494).
Information is also provided on many of the other awards and recognitions to alert Venturers to these opportunities, but because these awards are often bestowed by other agencies, the Venturer is encouraged to find the most current requirements from those organizations.
All Venturers should be coached and mentored to begin the awards path. Venturing is a game with a purpose. It should be fun, social, and engaging, but its purpose is to guide Venturers toward their vision of themselves as leaders, adventurers, and faithful stewards of their own resources as well as those we share.

In my opinion: ABSOLUTELY, YES!! Our family LOVES Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Not only is this special event typically less crowded than a normal park day, but there are so many special events and sights to see! We even love people-watching and seeing the costumes that guests have brought just for the party!
During the last party we attended, there were huge inflatable characters and creatures in a few locations in the park and entrance. These brought a huge smile to our face. We also enjoyed the extra, friendly "spookiness" near the Haunted Mansion.
You'll also have many opportunities to Trick-or-Treat throughout the park.
And, last but not least, be sure to grab a spot for the parade! The past years' parades have been kicked off by a headless horseman out for a gallop down the streets of the Magic Kingdom. While I don't want to give away all the surprises, I will say that this parade is my favorite of all-time.
I hope you enjoy the party!

How many times have you wanted to play a fun game with a friend from Scabble?. But you can not always have the partner, that's why they invented the game which you can play alone. FreeCell is one of the variations of the classic with many interesting and more challenging for you .
The good news for players is that very few of the FreeCell games screen can not be solved . We just challenge your intellect and your sensitivity to the compound arrays . And you'll play FreeCell with a deck of 52 standard trees .
The history of the game FreeCell is the most exciting thing. It was invented in 1978, but virtually unknown until it was released as one component on Windows 95.
One of the oldest ancestors of FreeCell is Eight Off. In the June 1968 edition of Scientific American, Martin Gardner described in his "Mathematical Games" column a game by C. L. Baker that is similar to FreeCell, except that cards on the tableau are built by suit rather than by alternate colors. Gardner wrote, "The game was taught to Baker by his father, who in turn learned it from an Englishman during the 1920s".
This variant is now called Baker's Game. FreeCell's origins may date back even further to 1945 and a Scandinavian game called Napoleon in St. Helena (not the game Napoleon at St. Helena, also known as Forty Thieves).
Paul Alfille changed Baker's Game by making cards build according to alternate colors, thus creating FreeCell. He implemented the first computerised version of it in the TUTOR programming language for the PLATO educational computer system in 1978. Alfille was able to display easily recognizable graphical images of playing cards on the 512 × 512 monochrome display on the PLATO systems.
This original FreeCell environment allowed games with 4–10 columns and 1–10 cells in addition to the standard 8 × 4 game. For each variant, the program stored a ranked list of the players with the longest winning streaks. There was also a tournament system that allowed people to compete to win difficult hand-picked deals. Paul Alfille described this early FreeCell environment in more detail in an interview from 2000.
Let's join and play Freecell solitaire. You can select many types of Solitaire on our World of Solitaire.

Naadam (meaning:'games') is a traditional festival in Mongolia. The festival is also locally termed 'eriin gurvan naadam', 'the three games of men'. The games are Mongolian wrestling, horse racing and archery and are held throughout the country during midsummer. Women have started participating in the archery and girls in the horse-racing games, but not in Mongolian wrestling.
The festival has its roots in the nomad wedding assemblies and hunting extravaganzas of the Mongol Army.
The biggest festival (Naadam of the Country) is held in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar during the National Holiday from July 11 – 13, in the National Sports Stadium. Naadam begins with an elaborate introduction ceremony featuring dancers, athletes, horse riders, and musicians. After the ceremony, the competitions begin.
Naadam is the most widely watched festival among Mongols, and is believed to have existed for centuries in one fashion or another. Naadam has its origin in the activities, such as military parades and sporting competitions such as archery, horse riding and wrestling, that followed the celebration of various occasions, including weddings or spiritual gatherings. It later served as a way to train soldiers for battle. Now it formally commemorates the 1921 revolution when Mongolia declared itself a free country. Naadam also celebrates the achievement of the new state. Naadam was celebrated with minor religious holiday until the destruction of Buddhism in the 1930s.
The three sports are called 'Danshug' games. They became the great celebration of the new nation, where all the nobility got together to dedicate to the Jabzundamba Khutugtu, the new head of state.
Genghis Khan's nine yak tails, representing the nine tribes of the Mongols, are still ceremonially transported from Sukhbaatar Square to the Stadium to open the Naadam festivities. At these opening and closing ceremonies there are impressive parades of mounted cavalry, athletes and monks.
512 or 1024 wrestlers meet in a single-elimination tournament that lasts nine or ten rounds. Mongolian traditional wrestling is an untimed competition in which wrestlers lose if they touch the ground with any part of their body other than their feet or hand. When picking pairs, the wrestler with the greatest fame has the privilege to choose his own opponent. Wrestlers wear two-piece costumes consisting of a tight shoulder vest (zodog) and shorts (shuudag). Only men are allowed to participate.
Unlike Western horse racing, which consists of short sprints generally not much longer than 2 km, Mongolian horse racing as featured in Naadam is a cross-country event, with races 15–30 km long. The length of each race is determined by age class. For example, two-year-old horses race for ten miles and seven-year-olds for seventeen miles.
Up to 1000 horses from any part of Mongolia can be chosen to participate. Race horses are fed a special diet.
Children from 5 to 13 are chosen as jockeys who train in the months preceding the races. While jockeys are an important component, the main purpose of the races is to test the skill of the horses.
Mongolian archery is unique for having not only one target, but hundreds of surs on a huge wall. In this competition both men and women participate. It is played by ten-men/women teams who are given four arrows each; the team has to hit 33 'surs'. Men fire their arrows from 75 meters away while women fire theirs from 65 meters away. Traditionally the archers wear their national clothing 'Deel' during the competition. All the performances wear leather braces up to the elbow on the arm that is stretched, so that the deel's cuff does not interfere with shooting. Targets are installed with short wooden tubes with a little ball inside. They are places one on top another formed as a pyramid shapes. Knocking a tube out of the pyramid with an arrow is target hitting, though to know the ball out of the tube will bring you more points. When the archer hits the target the judge says uuhai which means 'hooray'. After every single shooting, someone from among the oversees bends and adjusts the destroyed pyramids and makes it ready for the next round. The winners of the contest are granted the titles of 'national marksman' and 'national markswoman'.


It doesn't just look like an antiquated process; it is. Manual procedures have no place in a modern factory.
You have several choices when it comes to how you will introduce materials into a blend suitable for your processing requirements. Oddly enough, the method that seems least expensive may be the most expensive in the long run so you need to examine the choices carefully to see what is best for your operation.
The "scoop & weigh" method is labor intensive and typically a very inaccurate process, meaning that you have no real control over your blending costs or accuracy. Human error can run rampant. Typically, colorants are used in higher quantities than necessary, leading to higher costs than necessary but what if colorants or performance additives are shorted? Then, product performance and appearance can vary greatly – leading to dissatisfaction among customers.
Keeping an inventory of unique formulations burdens your bottom line and your warehouse.
Purchasing all materials pre-mixed or custom compounded is not only costly but you are putting the blending of your ingredients into the hands of a supplier over whom you have no control. Typically, you are investing in high volumes of a number of unique materials that require extensive inventory space and record keeping. Plus - changes in your process or material needs requires extensive planning and testing of revised material formulations.
A proportional mixing valve simple shuttles conveying valves back and forth during loading to approximate the introduction of regrind in with virgin material.
Proportioning valves are attached to self-contained loaders or to vacuum receivers (in a central resin conveying system). They have two valves that are timed to open and close to layer materials into the loader or receiver as it is loaded by vacuum. They are typically used to introduce some approximate percentage of regrind into virgin material, but they are actually best suited for simply allowing the consumption of regrind generated during processing. No real mixing takes place unless you install a separate mixer. This works if the appearance and properties if your end product are not critical and if your process can tolerate all of the regrind generated, as it is generated. But, results of this type of "blending" is extremely erratic and should be avoided if quality control is important in your process and products.
Cascading is a primitive, chancy method for mixing materials together.
Cascading blenders depends on the feeding of ingredients, usually from up to four hoppers, into a series of angled chutes. As the ingredients fall through the chutes, they intermingle to become "blended". The materials are metered into the chutes using either vibratory or screw feeders but since there is no weighing of the ingredients and therefore little control over the actual blending, the system is victim to all of the inaccuracies of any volumetric blending process. Only the mixing section is simplified through the use of a cascading system, vs. a powered, typically rotating mixing section.
A Doser, also referred to as a Feeder is designed to introduce minor ingredients into the flow of a main ingredient at the throat of a processing machine. Common components include a throat adaptor, mounted below the machine's main material supply hopper, a speed-adjustable DC motor connected to a metering auger and a machine interface control. Dosing is controlled either by a trigger signal from an injection molding machine or it may operate continuously with its speed is governed by the extruder it feeds.
Volumetric dosers rely solely on free flowing materials and careful calibration to achieve a modest level of accuracy.
Gravimetric dosers typically operate in a 'loss of weight' mode to accurately monitor and continuously correct the desired dosing level by measuring the weight of the additive supply hopper.
Gravimetric dosers scaled the accuracy of gravimetric blenders down to a single, stand-alone additive feeder, at a very attractive price point.
Dosers typically do not provide any mixing to the combination of materials that they create, unless a separate machine-mounted mixer is added below, or in place of its throat adaptor.
Volumetric blenders meter by time and volume, with no regard to the actual weight of the ingredients.
Typically OK if the proportions of regrind and additives are not critical to the quality or appearance of your end product. May consist of two or more volumetric feeders mounted over a bin with or without a mixer. Sometimes material falls through a cascading "blender" (see picture). The image shows two feeders attached to a "cascading blender" (see above). There is no weighing of components.
Each component of the blend must be calibrated to assure a working knowledge of volume to weight ratios for properly setting up the blender. Volumetric blenders are basically timing devices that assume a certain volume of an ingredient, added over time will yield a certain weight in the mix. This is typically inaccurate to some degree. Using more virgin or more additives than necessary impacts product cost, quality and decreases profitability.
Machine mounted gravimetric blender, fed from an overhead material supply.
Gravimetric blenders hold batch weight to within ± 0.1%, by weight, so you can rest assured that ingredient proportions are uniform. In addition, once set up, and the recipe is entered, most gravimetric blenders automatically calibrate and run "hands-free" to ensure proper proportions and mixing of ingredients. Advanced controls allow complete documentation of the blending process as a further level of quality control.
The results of using gravimetric blenders are dramatic.

Pop in for Polkadraai-and-Popcorn this summer
Leanne SutherlandOctober 21, 2019
The Stellenbosch Hills wine pairing is the fun must-do of the season from 1 December through to 30 April.
Back by popular demand is Polkadraai-and-Popcorn, the ultimate anti-serious wine pairing at Stellenbosch Hills. When first launched, Polkadraai-and-Popcorn went off the charts. Finally, there was a line-up everyone could relate to: Fun, accessible Polkadraai wines served with guzzle-worthy popcorn.
Now, like the sunny weather, it's back and Polkadraai has again teamed up with yummy Guzzle & Wolf Gourmet Popcorn. It's the perfect reason to rustle up your posse and head out to the Stellenbosch Winelands.
For the new Polkadraai-and-Popcorn series, which will run from 1 December to 30 April, the moreish superstars will be:
The Polkadraai Sauvignon Blanc Brut, a refreshing drier-style bubbly notable for lively fruit flavours and a kissing-crisp acidity. There's a flavoursome reminder of tropical fruit with hints of litchis, gooseberries and green figs, and long, lingering finish. The Brut is served with Guzzle & Wolf's Coconut & Chia Seeds Popcorn.
The Polkadraai Chenin Blanc/Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that's at its best when chilled. In a glass, it's star bright with a green tinge. The aroma recalls grassiness while the taste is of tropical fruit. The popcorn partner here is Salted Caramel.
The Polkadraai Rosé is made with Shiraz and in a drier style. Upon savouring the wine, you're likely to be reminded of red berries and flower petals. There's a hint of sweet melon and stone fruit too. It's accompanied in this tasting by the unique Cinnamon & Pretzel Popcorn.
The Polkadraai Pinotage/Merlot, a wine that's deliriously delicious. Think berry fruit. It's the perfect match with the Dark Chocolate Popcorn.
There's a good reason for pairing popcorn with Polkadraai. The wine is the name of the winding road connecting the diverse vineyards used in our wines, but it's also a tribute to all things polka, from the lively dance to the playful polka dot pattern. These are easy-drinking, well-balanced wines – just the ticket to a good time.
The Polkadraai-and-Popcorn tasting costs just R55 per person. So affordable in fact you just have to make it a group activity. Bring your friends and family and 'pop in' for the wine (and popcorn) experience of the season.
Each session runs for about 30 minutes, but there's also plenty of opportunities to explore the other ranges of quality wines for which Stellenbosch Hills is famous for.
The tastings take place at the winery, Monday to Friday 9:00 to 17:00 and Saturday 10:00 to 15:00.
Reservations are highly recommended. Book by sending an email to info@stellenbosch-hills.co.za or phone 021 881 3828.
For more information, visit www.stellenbosch-hills.co.za.
Remember to share your Polkadraai moments on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/StellenboschHills/), Twitter @STBHills and Instagram @stellenbosch_hills
Stellenbosch Hills is located at the corner of the R310 and Vlottenburg Road, near Stellenbosch.

Who are The New Saints' Irn Bru Cup opponents Livingston?
Who are The New Saints' Irn Bru Cup opponents Livingston?
With TNS set to face Scottish side Livingston in the Irn Bru Cup Round Two this Sunday, we take a look at there team and the players the Welsh champions need to watch out for.
Livingston, nicknamed The Lions were relegated to the Scottish League One at the end of the 2015-16 Scottish Championship after losing to Stranraer in the Scottish Championship play-off semi-finals and were replaced by Ayr United. The club got promoted back the following season after winning the 2016-17 Scottish League One title.
Their manager is former Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Leeds United midfielder David Hopkin who made nearly 300 appearances in his career. He took charge in 2015 after leaving Greenock Morton after a year as a caretaker.
This season Livingston will be without top goalscorer Liam Buchanan after the Scottish forward departed the club club and dropped down a division to join Raith Rovers. The 32 year old scored 12 goals and got 5 assists in 17 games in all competitions last season and has scored 31 in 71 over the 2 years he was at the club. His absence will be a big blow for them during the season as he has already scored 5 goals in 8 games for his new club.
READ Who are the Connah's Quay Nomads semi-final opponents Edinburgh City?
Some notable former players include who played for Livingston former Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Alexander (who recently returned), Celtic and Scotland striker Leigh Griffiths, Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan and Aston Villa (on loan from West Ham United) winger Robert Snodgrass.
Winger Josh Mullin signed for Livingston in 2016 from Albion Rovers. In 2015-16 he played 16 games overall scoring three goals and four assists from the wing. So far this season Mullin has played 9 games and has looked impressive on the assists getting four so far.
Mullen made 18 appearances last season for Livingston scoring six goals and creating five in all competitions. So far this season he has made seven appearances scoring once and has got two assists to his name.
Bulgarian striker Todorov is currently on a second year loan at Livingston from Heart of Midlothian and had a decent season last year. The 21 year old scored 2 and got 1 assists last season and started this season off good getting two goals in six games.

Weight and Driver Distance
Disc Golf Information: How Disc Weight Affects High-Speed Distance Drivers
I am not an aerodynamicist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week. The flattest flying brand new Spirit I have thrown so far was a 185 g "S"-plastic Spirit – hopefully the information below will explain why this happens.
Two main factors affect a disc's overstability when it begins to lose spin revolutions and velocity. (Assuming, of course, that you threw the disc with proper technique, trajectory and angle and hard enough to get on a flat flying plane for long enough to get forward penetration.)
1) The first factor is deflection angle of the wing.
No matter the weight of a disc, the greater the difference between the angle (or concave radius) on the underside of the wing and the angle on the dome of the flight plate (above the parting line), the more it will begin to fade left as soon as the velocity begins to decrease. For example, a Sabre has nearly an equal angle on its wing as it does on its dome; thus, is why it is one of our best-gliding and landing discs on the market. Conversely, the Speed Demon has a very long, deep, and fairly concave wing at a much steeper angle than its rather flat dome, which creates significant drag and forces the disc to cut back hard even before it decelerates.
2) The second factor is gyroscopic weight distribution, or the ratio of weight between flight plate and rim.
In the 185 g Spirit that flew dead straight right out of the hopper, a greater amount of plastic was "pushed" into the flight plate, making the rim-to-flight-plate weight ratio lean more towards the flight plate than in the 175 g Spirits produced after we got the injection profile lined out. The 175 g and 185 g Spirits were made from the same weighted batch of plastic, just distributed differently in the mold by temperature, pressure and injection speed. Out of our entire line, Speed Demons and Spirits have the highest rim-to-flight-plate weight ratio; in a 175 g Spirit or Speed Demon that ratio would be 120 g/55 g (rim/flight plate). Aside from the Aerobie™ Epic™, these two discs have the most gyroscopic weight distribution of any discs on the market, allowing them to spin faster and longer. This along with their low overall height and high nose sharpness explains why these discs are among the fastest anywhere.
Just like with the angles of wing deflection, the closer to each other the rim and flight plate weights are, the straighter the disc will fly as it decelerates. The Sabre's ratio between rim to flight plate in a 175 g disc is about 95 g/80 g, also helping it to fly extremely straight.
Check out any competitive yo-yo or ask someone who competes in that sport about revolutionary designs in the past few years if you want to see gyroscopic weight distribution in a different arena! .
