Q: Change 3D coordinate system do 2D for triangulation I need to triangulate a polygon of n points in 3D space. The problem is that the library I'm using only triangulate in 2D. Since my polygons can be oriented in any plane in 3D space, I need to convert these points to 2D and ater triangulation I must convert them back to the original 3D coordinate system.
I think I'm getting lost on the creation of the transformation matrix, from 3D to 2D.
Here's what I'm doing:
1 - Defining the X axis of the new 2D coordinate system as P2 - P1
2 - Defining a helper axis as P3 - P1
3 - Since X and helper are coplanar I use cross product to find the Z axis
4 - Now that I have X and Z, cross product to get Y axis
5 - Normaliza all axis
6 - Create a transformation matrix with those new axis
7 - Multiply the original points by the transformation matrix
Since all points are now coplanar, their Z coordinate should be ZERO, but this is not what's happening. The Z coordinates should at least be equal, because I know I should put translation in the matrix somehow...
What am I doing wrong?
Here's a little example:
        Point4D p1 = new Point4D(1, -0.75, -0.3, 1);
        Point4D p2 = new Point4D(1,  0.75, -0.3, 1);
        Point4D p3 = new Point4D(1,  0.75,  0.3, 1);
        Point4D p4 = new Point4D(1, -0.75,  0.3, 1);

        Vector3D xAxis = new Vector3D(p2.X - p1.X, p2.Y - p1.Y, p2.Z - p1.Z);
        Vector3D hAxis = new Vector3D(p3.X - p1.X, p3.Y - p1.Y, p3.Z - p1.Z);
        Vector3D zAxis = Vector3D.CrossProduct(xAxis, hAxis);
        Vector3D yAxis = Vector3D.CrossProduct(zAxis, xAxis);

        xAxis.Normalize();
        yAxis.Normalize();
        zAxis.Normalize();

        Matrix3D trans = new Matrix3D(xAxis.X, xAxis.Y, xAxis.Z, 0,
                                      yAxis.X, yAxis.Y, yAxis.Z, 0,
                                      zAxis.X, zAxis.Y, zAxis.Z, 0,
                                      0,       0,       0,       1);

        Point4D n1 = p1 * trans;
        Point4D n2 = p2 * trans;
        Point4D n3 = p3 * trans;
        Point4D n4 = p4 * trans;

A: What you have is a transformation trans that obeys e.g. (1,0,0,1)*trans=xAxis for your global coordinate x-axis (1,0,0,1) in homogenous coords. Similarly (0,1,0,1)*trans=yAxis and (0,0,1,1)*trans=zAxis.
But you want a transform A with xAxis*A--->(1,0,0,1) and so on, right? So i think you should invert trans and do n1=p1*invert(trans).

A: I think you missed the translation to the assumed origin and you didn't invert the transformation matrix. So something like this:
        Point4D p1 = new Point4D(1, -0.75, -0.3, 1);
        Point4D p2 = new Point4D(1, 0.75, -0.3, 1);
        Point4D p3 = new Point4D(1, 0.75, 0.3, 1);
        Point4D p4 = new Point4D(1, -0.75, 0.3, 1);

        Vector3D xAxis = new Vector3D(p2.X - p1.X, p2.Y - p1.Y, p2.Z - p1.Z);
        Vector3D hAxis = new Vector3D(p3.X - p1.X, p3.Y - p1.Y, p3.Z - p1.Z);
        Vector3D zAxis = Vector3D.CrossProduct(xAxis, hAxis);
        Vector3D yAxis = Vector3D.CrossProduct(zAxis, xAxis);

        xAxis.Normalize();
        yAxis.Normalize();
        zAxis.Normalize();

        Matrix3D trans = new Matrix3D(xAxis.X, xAxis.Y, xAxis.Z, 0,
                                      yAxis.X, yAxis.Y, yAxis.Z, 0,
                                      zAxis.X, zAxis.Y, zAxis.Z, 0,
                                      p1.X, p1.Y, p1.Z, 1);    // **** changed this
        trans.Invert();    // **** added this

        Point4D n1 = p1 * trans;
        Point4D n2 = p2 * trans;
        Point4D n3 = p3 * trans;
        Point4D n4 = p4 * trans;

For your test points, this gives the following results:
n1 { 0,    0, 0, 1}
n2 {1.5,   0, 0, 1}
n3 {1.5, 0.6, 0, 1}
n4 {  0, 0.6, 0, 1}

I am one of those that LOVES Valentine's Day. It can be hard to come up with a good gift idea, especially for someone who has everything… and guys don't really want a bouquet of flowers, so it can be difficult for girls to find gift ideas for the men in their lives.
Are you needing an idea too? Well, I've got one… check out the boxes in this photo and there's your solution – Shari's Berries! They have a ton of different items from chocolate covered strawberries, wine, nuts, cookies, cake, and more.
Edible Valentine's gifts are a perfect choice, in my opinion. Who's got room for a giant stuffed bear? Delicious treats from Shari's Berries are something everyone can enjoy. I can imagine everyone from my kids to my grandma liking something from their site.
I got a chance to review some chocolate covered strawberries from Shari's Berries, and I had them delivered to my office. Let me tell you, they were a hit with everyone! They came with a variety of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate – and there are some you can also select that have nuts and other toppings – yum!
The berries came well-packed and were in perfect condition. Doesn't this photo make you want to dive right in?
We were all impressed with how juicy the strawberries were, especially for this time of year. And the strawberries are big, so they definitely feel like a decadent indulgence! I had two dozen strawberries, and they were gone within a matter of minutes – it just goes to show how much everyone – men and women alike – loved them!
If you're looking for a Valentine's Day gift this year, be sure and check out Shari's Berries for all of their many delicious choices. AND they have coupons very often – just click here to take a look!
Note: I received chocolate-covered strawberries to facilitate my review. I was not compensated monetarily. All opinions in this post are honest and my own.
I have always been a fan of Valentine's Day. I think it's great to have a day especially for showering love on people you care most about! It's easier for me to think of things to give the kids, but sometimes it can be a challenge thinking of something for Brian. For one thing, he'a got specific interests and hobbies that might be hard to find gifts to fit! Thankfully Cafe Press has a ton of Valentine's gift options available (and I can make something completely custom, too)!
I took a look at all the gifts for guys – they have everything from phone cases to messenger bags to cups and more!
My husband is a big gamer, so it'd be fun to find something that relates to video games for him! He'd love that a whole lot more than some generic box of chocolate from the store, for sure. I think everyone would prefer a personalized gift – it means more, don't you think? I had fun looking through the "gifts for her" page – I'd love a custom necklace or bag!
I think it would be fun to pick something for the kids from CafePress too – a personalized stuffed animal would be really special! What would you get for your loved ones from CafePress?
Note: I received a promotional item as thanks for this post. All opinions are honest and are my own.
Bold, but not bitter at all, very balanced and a clean finish to it. Not harsh at all compared to other k-cups for the Keurig, no taste of the plastic cup or chemicals, just coffee beans.
Great cup of coffee to sip on after dinner or later at night for those kind of coffee drinkers. Strong but smooth, hearty and flavorful!
He said it's his favorite kind he's tried so far, and we're planning on purchasing more for him when we run out of what we've got. We would definitely recommend Barista Prima K-Cups!
Note: We received K-Cups to facilitate this review. We did not receive monetary compensation. All opinions are honest and are our own.
I couldn't think of a good photo for this post, so I'm including a favorite one from Christmas – my attempt at a sweet PJ pic Christmas Eve night. Instead I got rolled eyes from C, a not-so-happy look from E, and J's attempt at a convincing smile when all he wanted to do was unwrap one gift as promised. It makes me laugh every time I see it – love these kids!
Well, we're only five days in to 2013 and I feel like it's been a whirlwind of a year already.
I started a new job Thursday, designing magazines. I love what I'll be doing, who I'll be working for and with, and it's in the same office space as my husband. I can't see him from where I sit, but it's still nice knowing he's mere feet away – and we can carpool. So, I've only worked two days but it's gotten off to a good start and I feel really good about the change. It was bittersweet leaving my old job, because there are a lot of people there who are wonderful and several who have become dear friends to me, but I feel confident this is the right path for me and for our family.
So, there was that change. And because I'm back to work in an office, that means baby E started day care. That was a rougher transition that starting a new job, although not nearly as traumatic as when J started back in 2008. I guess now I know from experience what a great nursery our day care has, and how well the kids have thrived there, so that helps. But still – as I walked away from her class that first day, there was a slight catch in my throat. She was fine, mind you. They said she did great and was her typical smiley self all day. I was smart and took her for a trial run the day before work began, so she could have a shorter day but I could still get that first day over with. It also helps that one of my great friend's daughters is in the class with her, so I know she'll have a little buddy there. When, y'know, they can actually interact with each other a little more than lying beside each other under the play mat arch. But still! BFFs in the making, I tell you.
Another transition is that our three year old, C, moved up to the "big kids" class. It's the class he should've been in this past fall, but potty training challenges meant he was with the kids a few months younger than him. It was a blessing the way it worked out, because the teacher in that class was just what he needed, and he got to experience being a leader, which I think gave him a new level of confidence. Being a younger sibling to a very Type A older brother doesn't give him a lot of chances to take the reins, and I think he really got to shine in that class. I really felt like it was time for him to move up, though. For one thing, the teacher he has now (whom I adore and think is really great) is much more strict, and I think his little three-year-old self could use some of that.
J's still in his same class and is excited to be back with friends, which is a total 180 from the whiiiiiiiiiiining we heard on the way that first day – "I don't waaaaaaaaaaant to go to school!" We're trying to really make sure and enjoy this first half of 2013, while he hasn't yet hit kindergarten and the new realms of big kidness. August will bring about a truly big transition for us, and I am trying to steel myself to prepare and not be a blubbering mess at my baby going off to school.
I haven't blogged since New Year's Eve, because we've been in the midst of adjusting to our new routine, and because I'm trying to really stick to my word – purpose. I want to be more present with the family when we have the opportunities to all be together and enjoy each other, so blogging has been pushed slightly to the back burner. I've still got a few commitments to fulfill so I'll be taking care of those, and I do have some upcoming partnerships I'm excited about, but my hope is to write more posts like this. I've shied away from writing too much about our day to day life, because I've tried to post content that would be appealing to a broad audience, and I admittedly got swept up in a lot of product reviews. I'll still do those from time to time (especially here at the beginning while completing agreements previously made) but you'll notice a reduction in those, or at least more editorial content in proportion to those posts. Brian and I love to cook, and I'm trying to incorporate one new meal each week, so I hope to write more food-related posts this year, too. If you think of anything you want to see on this blog, let me know. I'm always looking for ideas!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend, everyone.

Parental Control: How Genes from Mom or Dad Shape Behavior
Julie Kiefer
Associate Director, Science Communications, University of Utah Health
Email: julie.kiefer@hsc.utah.edu
Parenting is not the only way moms and dads impact the behavior of their offspring. Genes matter, too. And although most of our genes are inherited in pairs—one copy from each parent—moms and dads exert their genetic influence in different ways. According to new research led by scientists at University of Utah Health, each parent has their own impact on hormones and other chemical messengers that control mood and behavior.
Susan Steinwand, Christopher Gregg, Ph.D. Photo credit: Jen Pilgreen.
""We're really intrigued that there is this untapped area of biology that controls our decisions," says Christopher Gregg, Ph.D., principal investigator and associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at U of U Health. Gaining a clearer picture of the genetic factors that shape behavior is a crucial step toward developing better diagnoses and treatments for psychiatric disorders, he says.
In the March 8, 2022, issue of the journal Cell Reports, Gregg's research team reports that certain groups of cells in the brains of mice rely exclusively on the mother's copy of a gene that is needed to produce essential chemical messengers in the brain called neurotransmitters. In those cells, the father's copy of the gene remains switched off. However, in a different organ, the adrenal gland, certain cells favor the father's copy of the same gene. There, the gene is involved in producing the stress hormone adrenaline.
After identifying this unexpected switch in parental control of a single gene, Gregg's team went on to demonstrate that it had consequences for behavior. They found that each parent's gene affected sons and daughters differently: certain decisions in sons were controlled by their mother's gene, whereas fathers had control over some decision-making in daughters.
We're really intrigued that there is this untapped area of biology that controls our decisions."
Christopher Gregg, Ph.D.
Evolutionarily speaking, this form of genetic regulation may reflect different parental priorities, Gregg says. "Not everybody has the same sort of interests, outcomes, and selective effects," he explains. "Daughters need to rear offspring. Sons often disperse and will go to new environments." Consequently, it may be in parents' interest to influence behavior differently in their sons and daughters.
"The revelation that maternal and paternal alleles of the same gene along the brain-adrenal axis could have disparate, or possibly even antagonistic, phenotypic consequences on behavior is an intriguing observation," says the paper's first author, Paul Bonthuis, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Biosciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"The brain-adrenal axis is a very important part of mammalian biology that controls behavior and affects stress, mood, metabolism and decision-making," Gregg explains. He says that this finding is a first step toward understanding how a parent's genes may affect more routine behaviors and related health conditions in people, from mental illnesses and addiction to cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Defining Decision-Making
In the current study, Gregg and his colleagues focused primarily on a gene called dopa decarboxylase, which neurons need to manufacture dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline—neurotransmitters that regulate an array of functions from mood to movement.
Parents control offspring behaviors and decisions by affecting the activity of specific genes that make dopamine, adrenaline and other hormones. Mothers control the activity of these genes in brain cells, while fathers control them in cells of the adrenal gland. Credit: Coni Hoerndli, PhD
Both parents' copies of the dopa decarboxylase gene are active in the brain, but Gregg and his colleagues previously uncovered a slight preference, brainwide, for the maternal copy. To investigate whether that preference was localized to particular cells or brain regions, the team genetically engineered mice to attach a fluorescent tag to the dopa decarboxylase enzyme—red if it was produced using a gene inherited from mom, blue if a gene from dad had been used. Then they could simply look under a microscope to see which parent's copy of the gene was active.
After examining the entire mouse brain, they found 11 regions that contained groups of neurons that use only the mom's copy of the dopa decarboxylase gene. Dopa decarboxylase is also used in the adrenal gland, where it's needed to produce the adrenaline hormone that triggers "flight or fight" responses to danger or stress, so the researchers looked there too. There, they found groups of cells that relied exclusively on the gene copy inherited from dad.
Since dopa decarboxylase is so important for regulating stress, fear, anxiety, and reward processing, the researchers wanted to know how this imprinting gave either parent more influence over certain behaviors in their offspring.
To find out, they analyzed the way mice with mutations in either copy of the gene foraged for food. Mice in their experiments were free to explore, acting on conflicting fears and motivations much as they would in the wild. Their movements as they took risks, retreated to safety, and resumed foraging seemed mostly random—but Gregg's team used machine learning algorithms to find patterns in the complex behavior. By breaking foraging behavior down into modules, they identified behavioral differences associated with each parent's copy of the dopa decarboxylase genes.
These experiments show that switching off one parent's copy in a select group of cells is enough to have significant impacts on behavior. Gregg says his team has hints that several genes are subject to this type of bias toward using one parent's copy.
"I dream of this new field of decision genetics, where we systematically uncover the parental gene copies that control specific decisions and actions in particular contexts," Gregg says. Such studies could lead researchers to cells and neural circuits with previously unrecognized roles in behavior.
In addition to Gregg and Bonthuis, collaborators were Susan Steinwand, Cornelia N. Stacher, Jared Emery, Wei-Chao Huang, Stephanie Kravitz and Elliott Ferris from U of U Health.
The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and published as "Noncanonical genomic imprinting in the monoamine system determines naturalistic foraging and brain-adrenal axis functions" in Cell Reports.

What UCLA's recent study on the reproductive health of Asian women means for the AAPI community
By Manisha Wanniappa December 10, 2022
At the beginning of October, UCLA announced the launch of a $3 million federally-funded study focused on the reproductive health of Asian immigrant women. Throughout the duration of this five-year study, researchers hope to gather data pertaining to the reproductive health of immigrant and ethnic groups. Asian immigrant women are being studied in particular because they are often underrepresented or excluded from existing data regarding reproductive health. News writer Manisha Wanniappa interviewed Dr. May Sudhinaraset, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health associate professor and vice chair of the Department of Community Health Sciences, who is also the project leader of this study, to discuss the aims of this project.
Pacific Ties (PT): What is the objective of this study?
May Sudhinaraset (MS): The goal of the study is to provide the most comprehensive sexual and reproductive health data among the most diverse sample of Asian immigrant women to date. We are interested in examining how different immigration statuses and also ethnicities may differ in regards to sexual and reproductive health.
PT: Why is this study important?
MS: For too long, Asian immigrant women have been invisible in broader policy discussions. Some of that can be attributed to lack of data and a lack of focus on hearing the diverse experiences and stories of Asian immigrant women. Barriers to care are deeply rooted in structural inequities that have prevented Asian immigrant women from accessing dignified and respectful sexual and reproductive healthcare.
PT: Why is it important to study the experiences of Asian women in particular?
MS: Asians are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States. Asian women in particular contend with multiple forms of violence in their everyday lives, heightened and exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research that disaggregates data among and across Asian women is important to shedding light on the diverse needs and experiences of our communities.
PT: How will this study impact the AAPI community? How will it strengthen our healthcare system's ability to serve AAPI individuals?
MS: This study will provide critical data at a time when reproductive rights and justice are threatened in the U.S. This study will bring together a community of immigrant and reproductive justice organizations to ensure reproductive rights and safety for Asian immigrant women and their communities.

Babson will host the first Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) Global Academic Conference, October 13-15, 2016, which will include a multitude of opportunities for STEP colleagues to work collaboratively, providing rigorous and valuable insights into STEP research and issues associated with transgenerational entrepreneurship.
The event will take place at Babson's new 100 High Street campus in the heart of Boston's Financial District. The High Street campus, opening this Fall, features approximately 2,000 square feet of ground floor space along Federal Street, which will provide a window into entrepreneurship in action with events, co-working space, and room to showcase the entrepreneurial activities of Babson students and alumni.
Since the founding of STEP, significant progress has been made in expanding the understanding of entrepreneurship within the context of family owned enterprises. With 36 academic institutions across the globe involved in the project, much of this progress can be attributed to scholars involved in STEP. The purpose of this conference is to showcase the great work (current and new) that is currently being done by STEP scholars, to provide a venue for receiving valuable feedback on the research and to strengthen the ties between STEP team members across the globe.
Scholars of all levels will find value in presenting research at all stages. Traditional paper sessions, poster sessions, round tables and other methods of presenting and sharing scholarly work will all be a part of the conference.
Young scholars will benefit from sessions focused on publishing advice and journal choice from experienced editorial board members.
Scholars looking to start new collaborative projects will benefit from facilitated brainstorming sessions focused on developing ideas for new collaborative research projects.
"We are very much looking forward to the opportunity to leverage the fantastic knowledge we have in our STEP community," said STEP Academic Director and Babson Professor Matt Allen.
STEP (Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices) Project for Family Enterprise is global applied research project. It is a collaboration of scholars, worldwide, studying successful entrepreneurial practices of family businesses over time. Babson College is the convener of this Project.
STEP Project was launched in 2005 with 7 founding institutions: Babson College (USA), ESADE (Spain), HEC (France), Jönköping International Business School (Sweden), Universita Bocconi (Italy), Universitat St. Gallen (Switzerland), Universitat Witten/Herdecke (Germany). There are now 36 Institutions and over 175 scholars involved in this project from 5 regions: Europe (2005), Latin America (2006), Asia-Pacific (2007), North America (2011) and Africa (2015).

Qualitative Database –STEP scholars have submitted 123 longitudinal research cases from 5 regions of the world.
Quantitative Survey – Launched in English in Sept. 2013, a first of its kind survey investigating the impact of entrepreneurial attitudes and resources on performance and continuity in business families. Survey was available for teams in 13 languages and closed February 28, 2015. During the 18 month survey, 686 families participated completing 1056 surveys.
6 books (5 in Elgar series books), based on STEP data.
2 Global Summits attended by STEP scholars and families (1st Global Summit held at Babson 2010; 2nd Global Summit at ESADE, Barcelona, November 2013). The next Global Summit will be hosted by Università della Svizzera italiana in Lugano, Switzerland on November 8-11, 2017.

The Holz-Handwerk trade fair for woodworking and wood processing, which was held from 24th – 27th March, confirmed its status as an important meeting point for the industry. More than 15,000 visitors from the woodworking trade from all over Germany and from neighbouring countries came to the 520 square metre Häfele trade fair booth in hall 10.1. The response to the many new fittings and particularly the presentation of the new partner portal www.functionality-world.com was overwhelming, as visitors and press representatives can unanimously confirm.
The highlights on the Häfele booth were the new sliding door fittings collection for wood and glass under Häfele's own brand Slido, the electric sectional sliding door fitting, the self-supporting pull-out table and the functional solution for installations for storage space, kitchens and light in furniture. The new "Complete Häfele" furniture fitting supplements and furniture handles/wardrobe hooks catalogues were dispatched to coincide with the trade fair appearance. These include more than 3,000 new products from 2007 - 2010. A great overview of selected, innovative furniture and door fittings can be found in the "Holzhandwerk Highlights" brochure.

Dragon Age 4 News Coming In December, Says BioWare; Game Awards Appearance?
By Hunter Miche Nov 30, 2018 Oct 26, 2021 Share
BioWare head Casey Hudson said on his company blog recently that we may be getting some Dragon Age 4 news in December, even though the studio is currently busy working on Anthem ahead of its early 2019 release date, so does that mean we'll be seeing something about it at the Game Awards?
Dragon Age 4 has been a long-awaited dream of BioWare's fanbase, especially since the last Dragon Age game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, came out four years ago, back in 2014. While Anthem is an unproven and untested property that many both at BioWare and in the fanbase are nervous about, Dragon Age is a proven property that has always sold very well.
BioWare has teased us several times over the past few years with little snippets and tidbits of Dragon Age 4 news, though there hasn't been any sort of trailer or indication of what this new game will be about, especially given everything that happened in Inquisition.
While it's likely we'll be going after Solas to prevent him from merging the real world with the spirit world, there's always the possibility that something else will take the part of the main plot instead while BioWare writes that own plotline into its own game.
Dragon Age is also part of a big worry for a number of BioWare fans; with how poorly Mass Effect: Andromeda turned out, and with BioWare beginning a major undertaking with Anthem, many gamers are worrying that the new Dragon Age game will turn out the same way, and cause the series to be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully whatever Dragon Age 4 news comes in December will look great and allow at least one classic BioWare series to keep going, and hopefully at the same time Anthem will turn out good and prove everyone wrong about it.

Katrina Anderson and Marc Shrimpling discuss the possibilities arising from the need to replace the EU's CAP (Common Agricultural Policy).
TOP SECRET! How have Member States implemented the new EU Trade Secrets Directive?


This recipe is sponsored by our friends at BC Egg. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% own!
In case you hadn't got the memo, I kind of like food, A LOT! However, that fact also comes with a secret, I am a very picky eater! Furthermore, I am one of the worst people to go for breakfast with as I don't like eggs! I'm a lunch/dinner kind of girl! My husband and girls LOVE eggs! Until I moved in with my husband, I never knew how to cook an egg beyond a dessert option like my infamous Pavlova!
Eggs are a major food in the house and have been for years, however, I still won't eat them. I love the idea of eggs but I cannot stomach the texture. Zoe's favourite meal began at a young age, sitting on Daddies knee and eating half his eggs! Today, Zoe will consume an egg a day, and I cannot complain! They are easy to cook in and provide many essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need for good health!
Growing up my mom and dad both loved eggs and they were a vital part of breakfast! I have very vivid memories of watching my mom cook eggs and thinking she must be magical. No matter how many things were going on in the kitchen they turned out exactly as my dad liked them.
Home Economics was one my favourite classes in school. I was finally able to learn that magic I believed my mother had in the kitchen. We began by learning the basics of eggs. Even back in the 90's, people knew eggs were good for consumption, however, back in that day, it was said that feeding eggs to children before the age of one could cause an egg allergy. Thankfully new research suggests otherwise: feeding baby eggs, and other allergens, by six months of age can actually decrease the risk of developing an allergy.
Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. Eggs are low in saturated fats, contain no trans fats and are a natural source of calcium, iron, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and Omega-3 fatty acids. So in the simplest terms, a pretty darn good important food when you have two young growing girls! You can follow BC Egg on Twitter or Facebook to get more information about eggs and why they're so good for the entire family!
We were taught how to pick the correct eggs for our recipes and what to look for when making purchasing decisions! We went on to learn the anatomy of an egg. The best way to learn is to get hands on. Separate the yolk from the white and truly dissect the egg. What do with it you do once you've pulled it apart?
I've held onto my Home-ec binder all these years as I hope to one day pass it down to my girls. Moving out all I wanted was a recipe book from my mother of her favourite recipes and I never did get it. Even though this is a school binder, it represents where it all began, how I fell in love with cooking and houses some of my favourite basic recipes like the one I'm sharing with you now, the very first recipe I ever baked on my own. An Australian classic, the Pavlova and I got 5 out of 5!
What is Pavlova you ask? Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert with a crisp crust and soft, light inside, usually topped with fruit and whipped cream! So what is the difference between meringue and Pavlova? The main difference between Meringue and Pavlova are the ingredients. Even though Pavlova is a Meringue based dessert, you have to add vinegar and cornflour to the basic ingredients of Meringue which are egg whites and sugar to achieve a marshmallow interior.
The most difficult part aside from getting stiff peaks is not eating the entire thing in one sitting! Wait no further, here is the perfect Pavlova recipe guaranteed to impress even the toughest of critics, your children!
2. In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 2 tbsp at a time, beating well after each addition and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Spoon onto prepared cookie sheet, mounting higher around the edges.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 250 F (120C) for 75 to 90 minutes until crisp on outside and firm to touch. Turn off heat and allow to cool in oven with door propped open. Store Pavlova in a cool, airtight container for several days.
For this recipe, I topped with homemade cinnamon granola and fresh Okanagan peaches and coconut whipped cream. You can top your Pavlova with whatever fruits and toppings you choose! Chill until serving time!
Makes 3-4 servings Prep time 10-15 minutes Baking Time 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
This Pavlova recipe is so easy to make once you visually know the difference between a soft and a stiff peak. With endless fruit combinations and variations, this recipe is guaranteed to impress. If you're looking for a sweet, light recipe that you can transform throughout the seasons, this basic Pavlova recipe will knock you off your socks!

This information about introducing allergens is so important, I'm grateful that we're encouraged to introduce these previously 'tricky' foods at an early age, especially since our own family's journey with diet and health. This recipe looks amazing, I absolutely can't wait to try!
I can't believe in my 50 years I have never tried Pavlova, sounds great though!


What tests will my live donor do?
If you are having a live donor kidney transplant, your donor will be doing their own tests during this time to check that they are healthy enough to donate one of their kidneys to you.
Remember, donors will only be accepted after they have passed all of their medical tests.
The donor's tests will be done independently from your tests. To protect their privacy, the donor's test results will not be shared with you, and to protect your privacy, your test results will not be shared with the donor.
Occasionally, your live donor might have a health issue that needs to be discussed with you before the transplant can proceed.
Sometimes you might have a health issue that needs to be discussed with the donor.
In both cases, the transplant team will explain why this is and get the other person's permission to share the health information between your donor and you.

Superintendent calls for independent review
Livi Stanford | Staff Writer livi.stanford@dailycommercial.com
Lake County Superintendent Susan Moxley on Thursday called for an independent review of all schools in the district in analyzing class-size compliance and whether any class-size violations were knowingly made.
This follows the determination that six school principals inaccurately reported their class sizes to the state.
"It has become apparent that systematically, there are major concerns regarding how schools are interpreting class-size rules and data reporting," she said. "The interpretation of those rules seems to be inconsistent across the district."
As a result, Moxley said she was calling for an independent review.
"When errors are made in our organization, we own them, and we take corrective action to remedy the situation and to put procedures and policies in place to prevent the errors from occurring in the future," she said.
Several Lake County School Board members previously said the six principals who inaccurately reported their class sizes should be punished.
In addition, another board member asserts more than six schools reported inaccuracies.
Principals at Mount Dora High School, Tavares Elementary School, Sawgrass Bay Elementary in Clermont, Sorrento Elementary, Lake Minneola High School and Grassy Lake Elementary in Minneola reported to the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) that their average class sizes were smaller than they actually are.
By state law, public schools are not permitted to exceed certain class size limits: 18 per class in grades pre-kindergarten through 3; 22 per class in grades 4 through 8; and 25 in grades 9 through 12. Schools that violate the class size limits are subject to fines.
The errors in the data "represent less than .12 percent of the total full-time equivalent students reported in October, resulting in 48 FTEs," Superintendent Susan Moxley said at a recent school board meeting.

On March 24, 2015, a man riding his bicycle in Sacramento was killed in a hit and run crash by a silver two-door car with tinted windows. The cyclist, who was in his 40s, was hit around 6:45pm and died at the scene. On June 22, 2015, a bicyclist in the North-Sacramento area was also killed when a driver hit her and then drove away from the scene. The woman, 67, was riding her bicycle at 7:40pm in the bike lane when the vehicle struck her from behind and threw her from the bike. She later died from her injuries at a nearby hospital.
As these tragedies illustrate, hit and run bicycle accidents in the Sacramento area are unfortunately not uncommon. Also, when these types of accidents result in serious injury or death, the crime is punishable as a felony criminal offense. In addition to criminal liability, accidents resulting in injury or death result in civil liability as well. As a personal injury attorney with decades of experience, I help injured clients recover the following damages: present and future medical costs, lost work wages, loss of future earnings and earning capacity, compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress. If a client has lost a loved one, damages for loss of consortium, loss of companionship, and funeral and burial costs may also be sought in a wrongful death lawsuit.
You may be wondering how a claim for damages can be made against a motorist that has fled the scene. This is where an experienced accident attorney makes all the difference. An expert accident attorney knows that if the injured bicyclist has uninsured motorist coverage on an auto insurance policy, then a claim can most likely be made against the bicyclist's own policy for losses. Even if the injured cyclist does not own an automobile, he or she is not necessarily out of luck. If the injured party lives with a relative who has uninsured motorist coverage on an automobile, then the claim for losses may be able to be made against that policy.
Worried about making a claim against your own insurance company and what it will do to your rates? California law prohibits premium increases for claims when the accident is not the fault of the person making the claim. Therefore, it is crucial to be represented by an attorney who can immediately and definitively establish that the accident and resulting injuries and damages were not your fault. Sacramento Auto Accident Attorney Ed Smith has the expertise to ensure that you are not held responsible for the actions of a hit and run driver that has injured you.
This type of coverage is similar to Uninsured Motorist Coverage yet it has some important distinctions. If you are in a hit and run accident and the person who caused it is later found, they may have insurance but be underinsured for the amount of loss you have suffered. You can make a claim for the limits of their policy, and then collect from your own Underinsured Motorist Coverage policy. The total collected, however, cannot exceed the total of your own policy limit. For example, if the person at fault had only $35,000 in coverage and your losses totaled $85,000, you can collect $35,000 from the negligent motorist's underinsured coverage, and then proceed to make a claim on your policy. If your policy has a total limit of $50,000, you can still only collect an additional $15,000, even though your total losses exceed $50,000.
I'm Ed Smith, a Sacramento Auto Accident Attorney with the primary accident information site on the web, www.AutoAccident.com. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a bicycle accident caused by the negligence of another, call me now at 916.921.6400.

Al Qaeda's Travel Agent
By Joseph Lieberman
Aug. 20, 2007 12:01 am ET
The United States is at last making significant progress against al Qaeda in Iraq -- but the road to victory now requires cutting off al Qaeda's road to Iraq through Damascus.
Thanks to Gen. David Petraeus's new counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq, and the strength and skill of the American soldiers fighting there, al Qaeda in Iraq is now being routed from its former strongholds in Anbar and Diyala provinces. Many of Iraq's Sunni Arabs, meanwhile, are uniting with us against al Qaeda, alienated by the barbarism and brutality of their erstwhile allies.
As Gen. Petraeus recently said of al Qaeda in Iraq: "We have them off plan."
But defeating al Qaeda in Iraq requires not only that we continue pressing the offensive against its leadership and infrastructure inside the country. We must also aggressively target its links to "global" al Qaeda and close off the routes its foreign fighters are using to get into Iraq.
Recently declassified American intelligence reveals just how much al Qaeda in Iraq is dependent for its survival on the support it receives from the broader, global al Qaeda network, and how most of that support flows into Iraq through one country -- Syria. Al Qaeda in Iraq is sustained by a transnational network of facilitators and human smugglers, who replenish its supply of suicide bombers -- approximately 60 to 80 Islamist extremists, recruited every month from across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, and sent to meet their al Qaeda handlers in Syria, from where they are taken to Iraq to blow themselves up to kill countless others.

How Earth Day has changed! In 1970, alarmed by environmental pollution and the threat to species that it posed, a Republican congressman, Pete McCloskey, and a Democratic senator, Gaylord Nelson, promoted a national "teach-in" on the environment — the first Earth Day –on April 22.
Since that first Earth Day, lands have been protected through designation as wilderness areas, national parks and monuments, state parks, and county open spaces. Legislation has been passed to restore and maintain clean air and water. Despite this legacy of protection, the massive 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill that motivated McCloskey and Nelson to act now seems a "small" problem compared to the scope of the environmental, economic, and other problems posed by climate change to not only the United States but also the globe.
In Colorado, we know what climate change means for us — increasing temperatures, severity of droughts, wildfire risk, and demand for water and energy and decreasing snow pack, water quality, and agricultural production. These effects have been well-documented (See 2014 Climate Change in Colorado Report for the Colorado Water Conservation Board).
If reports aren't convincing, look around: Shorter winter seasons threaten the viability of the ski industry. Governments struggle to distribute and pay the environmental and economic costs of keeping water in the state flowing. Ranchers in southeastern Colorado work against the odds to make ends meet on land that has experienced exceptional or extreme drought and is turning to dust.
In 1970, young people flocked to Colorado to ski, climb mountains, ride bikes, kayak rivers, plant orchards, and run farms. The population grew. Now, Colorado is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. On Earth Day 2015, the size of our population, in conjunction with climate change and its related effects, is jeopardizing our region's ecological systems. While we wait, with hope, for our political leaders — Sens. Cory Gardner and Michael Bennet and Colorado representatives in the House — to replicate the bipartisan leadership shown in the 1970s, citizens should work to create the political will to make it happen again.
What might "it" be? Many actions are needed, but an important one is to decrease dramatically the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere — the main driver of climate change. Placing a fee on carbon with all collected funds returned to the American public is one way to get this done. A national carbon fee and dividend policy won't "crash" the economy. A fee of $15 per ton on the carbon dioxide content of a fossil fuel would increase the price of a gallon of gasoline by 15 cents. Increasing this fee by $10 per ton each year would yield, after 10 years, a monthly dividend of $300 for American households.
Americans would not only be able to pay the extra cost of energy, but the majority would also have money left over. There would be an even greater incentive than we now have to invest in alternative sources of energy. U.S. companies would not be disadvantaged. Placement of a tariff on fossil fuels imported from countries that lacked a fee on carbon would level the playing field and encourage them to follow our lead.
This is a strategy that holds great potential for Republicans and Democrats alike as it is market-driven, not dependent on regulations, and addresses the needs of the lower and middle class for economic help, as we transition away from dependence on fossil fuels.
We also need to break open the silence on climate change. Scientists agree the globe is warming and that this is creating grave risks to the land and eco-systems on which Coloradans depend for their livelihoods.

"Jurassic World" Attraction to Replace Jurassic Park: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood!
The rumors are true – the Jurassic Park river adventure attraction, beloved by many at both Universal Studios Hollywood and its sister park, Universal Studios Orlando, will be leaving the original park this fall. Replacing it? A brand new Jurassic World attraction!
Universal Studios Hollywood announced the departure of the original ride on the Twitter on May 10th, with a short video saying that "extinction is coming", but that, as we all know, "life finds a way". The video, featuring promotional clips from Jurassic Park: The Ride and footage of a CGI tyrannosaurus rex, detailed not only the closing of the original ride, but the opening of a brand new Jurassic World section of the park.
The video did not give any details about the Jurassic World attraction itself, but announced that it will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood sometime in 2019. The Jurassic Park: River Adventure at Universal Studios Orlando will remain unchanged.
In 2019, face Indominus rex when she makes her world premiere in the new, high-tech Jurassic World. Journey to where living dinosaurs roam the earth in the part expedition, part heart-pounding water ride based on the blockbuster film franchise.
On this river-raft adventure, get doused as a colossal Mosasaursus dives for its great white shark snack. But the real danger lies ahead when the brutal Indominus rex escapes its enclosure. Be prepared when a 50-foot Tyrannosaurs rex comes to your rescue… right before your final plunge down a treacherous 84-foot waterfall.
And plan to experience the original Jurassic Park®- The Ride one final time before it becomes extinct on Sept. 3, 2018!
The last day of operation for Jurassic Park: The Ride will be September 3rd, 2018, so local folks, ride it while you can! And stay tuned to Jurassic Outpost for more updates in the future.
What do you think about this new Jurassic World attraction? Are you excited for it? Are you sad to see the original Jurassic Park attraction go? Let us know in the comments below!
I bet 50 dollars its gonna have gyrospheres in it.
Universal announced on their website that the ride is staying a river adventure that will include appearances by the mosasaur and the indominous Rex. Culminating with a battle between Rexy and Irex before plunging 50 feet.
At least I tried the Orlando one years ago. Might try thr JW the Ride after 2019.
I'v been going for over 20+ years and it was a big part of my childhood and I have many nostalgic memories. Ive seen it at its best and its worst lol. The ride while classic definitely needs a remodel. If that takes the form of JW then I'm game. Respect the classics, look forward to the future.
It's going to be sad that the original version of the ride is closing the gate on guests. But, I hope that the new attraction does not rely too much on screens as Universal heavily incorporates them in their rides. Jurassic was nice because it had a natural feel to the experience. Let's hope it's legacy is carried on.
If Universal still wants to do screen-based rides, I would suggest, they make a VR Pteranodon Flyers family coaster so that we get a "Flying Reptile's" Eye View of Isla Nublar in all its entirety. They could even do a thing like Mission Space at EPCOT with Green and Orange teams. The green equivalent would be the family-friendly island flyover, while the orange equivalent would be escaping Mt. Sibo's eruption event.
Man, that is a beautiful idea! I can just imagine. Giving it the flight of Passage route. If only the exects at Universal were listening!
Yeah, a Flight of Passage version would be great too! I went on it last December and I was blown away. Hopefully, Universal really makes something memorable for the love of all things Jurassic!
NOOOOO and YAYYYYYYYYYY at the same time. these changes better be worth it.
Just had a minor heart attack until I heard that it was only Hollywood, because I'm going to the Orlando park this fall to visit the Jurassic Park ride for the first time. I would like to see it at least once before it turns into a Jurassic World ride.
Unchanged for Orlando?!?!?!?! Oh well I'll still be happy with the movies including the new one coming on my birthday!!!!! I'll go to the one in Florida when the time is right!!!!!
2019 . . . so, something they're hoping the influx of Star Wars Land tourists will add to their itineraries.
Sorry the potato mode, I didn't sleep for the last 40h.
I've been lucky enough to ride both of them and actually prefer the Hollywood version. I remember when this opened and I'd see ads for it in comic books. Being a poor kid in the middle of Kansas, I knew I could never go. When I finally did get to visit Universal (Orlando first) I remember my hotel room key doubled as a fast pass and I rode that ride about 6 times in a row. I'll miss these epic rides but look forward to the update. I just hope it's a practical ride and not the 3D video rides they've been moving too.

Wisconsin clerks refer 10 new voter fraud cases from 2020 election
Some cases involved voting in two different states or voter impersonation.
By Madeleine Hubbard
Updated: July 31, 2022 - 11:28pm
Ten criminal voter fraud referrals related to the 2020 election have been made over the past year by local clerks, according to a Wisconsin Elections Commission report.
This brings the total number of voter fraud referrals for the 2020 election up to 22. In the most recent report, however, several referrals were for "multiple elections," meaning that the total number may be higher.
Some cases referred to district attorneys involved a person voting in person and absentee by mail in the 2020 election. Others involved voting in two different states or voter impersonation.
Voting twice is against Wisconsin law, regardless of intent, the Epoch Times reported.
The report also showed that 73 criminal voter fraud referrals were made in 2021 and 2022 for multiple elections.
Most referrals came from Milwaukee and Brown counties, two of the state's top five most populous counties.
State officials, including many in GOP-run states, have said they have not found evidence of widespread fraud in the November 2020 election that could have altered the outcome. However, several states have acknowledged serious irregularities or unlawful changes to election rules occurred in 2020.
For instance, Wisconsin's Supreme Court has ruled election regulators unlawfully allowed tens of thousands of absentee voters to skip voter ID checks by claiming they were "indefinitely confined" by the pandemic without suffering from a disability. And Wisconsin's legislative audit bureau found numerous other rule changes were made that were not approved by the state legislature. In Arizona, an audit called into question more than 50,000 ballots cast in the November 2020 election, while in Georgia state election officials have uncovered such widespread mismanagement in vote counting in Fulton County, the state's largest, that they have begun a process to have the state run future elections in the jurisdiction, which includes the city of Atlanta.
Arizona voting reform group seeks recall of Gov. Katie Hobbs, citing election discrepancies
Former Georgia GOP Senator Loeffler says grassroots can be the GOP ticket to success in elections

FROM SCHEMATICITY – LEAGUE
10.06.2018 13.05.2018 Categories World of models
The development of the increasingly popular class of model airplanes-gliders reduced dimensions traditionally associated with increasing complexity and increasing elongation of their wings. One of the attempts to show that there are other, much more affordable and effective ways of designing paritala class A1, was made in the "M-K" in 1992 with the publication of model with a simplified power circuit.
And today we want to introduce the adherents of the expense of building a traditional glider with a different direction, which to modellers may seem somewhat unexpected, so unusual settings has new appliances. However, it is better to tell about the history of unusual models in order.
The main reason that forced us to take up design search, there was a need to provide novice club members, and have already passed the stage of simple schematic, technology transition type. After building a pair of "dureena" not too well, flying gliders is almost impossible even to say that the boy has gained the experience to create the glider of the class A1. Therefore, there were drawings very brachypterous, simple, technologically advanced and extremely durable model. At first, we deliberately departed from the requirements for maximal condition aerodynamic performance in favor of reliability and simplicity. What was the result, clearly seen in the drawings. However, we still have to explain that to completely ignore the design principles of paritala we certainly did not. Ultrashort wing, in addition to the aerodynamic shortcomings, has some advantages for high Reynolds number when a significant chord — hence, it was possible to hope for a good aerodynamic efficiency of the wing at moderate values of lift coefficient. Based on these assumptions, the "ears" are designed as elements solely to provide lateral stability and load-bearing functions remain well-developed Central part of the wing. Now you will understand the logic that led to such unusual ratios of elements of bearing planes and such a large cross corners "ears" when viewed from the front.
The calculation of the average values of the lift force with a high quality profile and thus a higher airspeed allowed at the same time reduce the effectiveness of the horizontal tail within reasonable limits. So, the new model of the airframe efficiency of the stabilizer is 0.54 at the average values of this quantity in the modern models of class A1 in the range of 0.8—1.0.
As for design features — they are all motivated by the desire to avoid the use of a little bit of scarce materials and construction technologies to approach the elementary sets of parcels. Knowing how many difficulties and inaccuracies due, for example, with the manufacture of the ribs for beginners, we in the original version laid the wing collected in stages on the flat the stocks of two sections — front and rear, with clearly omosanya sections of all parts of the set. The forehead of the wing is going on the familiar to modelers techniques. The tail also is typed in the following way. First, on a flat Board with pins prick the bottom diagonal a set of "ribs" (by the way, is easier to calibrate the length of the finished strips and depending on the overall error of their length only to adjust the position and the entire trailing edge, not to drive each diagonal rail in place). After that, the strips pressed against the top of the plywood gusset plate and the front "dry" mount the shelf Assembly of the spar with a pre-prepared grooves for the slats. Now it remains to put the auxiliary spar (in the ready set the main target of the reinforcements finished the racks for the sustainability of their compression) and the remaining top stack "ribs". In conclusion, all seams shed svezhenakleennyh resin, after curing, of which the tail wing is removed from the pile and additionally shed from the bottom seams. Just have to glue the rail back edge and make the cleaning of the frame flat, "kuriltai". I think when you have in hand a ready host, you will surprise him strength and stiffness on jacket with a small total mass. Ready head and tail are controlled by precision docking at the spar. If necessary, the seam zone are processed, and the wing is going completely on the flat bench with the use of plates for langeronii portions of slats 5 mm thick. the Finish operation — the installation of the bars-billets for endings and treatment of their profile. It should be noted that the cutting plane for the installation of "ears" has a concavity corresponding to the cross section of the concave lower surface of the wing at an angle of 45°. It complicates work, but gives you the opportunity to profilerate plate "ears" to improve the efficiency of them as elements to stabilize the model on a roll.
Fuselage:
1 — the skin of the fuselage (plywood 1 mm), 2 — spout (balsa or light lip thickness of 7 mm), 3 — the front pin for rubber thread wing mounting (bamboo), 4 — power insert (plywood 6 mm), 5 — border of the skin of the nose, 6 — wing tool tray (plywood 2 mm 20 x 40 mm), 7 — towing hook (OBC Ø 2 mm glued 10 mm in front of the center of gravity ambulancewoman model), 8 longitudinal stringers (pine 2×7 mm) 9 — filler (packing melkosortnyj the foam thickness 7 mm), 10 — tail insert (Linden), 11 — circuit of the stabilizer, 12 — rear pin, 13 — contour of the wing, 14 — ballast (centre of gravity: balance weight is placed in the chamber in the nose of the fuselage). A — the original lightweight version, B — second simplified version.
The original version of the wing:
1 — ending with an oblique cut (light lime), 2 — front edge pine (6×6 mm), 3 — spouts ribs (plywood or 1 mm lip 1.5 mm thick), 4 — stringers (pine-1,5×3 mm), 5 — shelf side member (pine 3×5 mm), 6 — shelf Assembly of the spar, (lime, 1.5 mm thick), 7 — the Central rib (lip thickness of 5 mm), 8 — finished set (pine 2×2 mm), 9 — auxiliary spar (pine 2×5,5 mm), 10 — trailing edge (pine or basswood 5×12 mm), 11 — Central gusset (plywood 1 mm), 12 — Klondike (plywood 1 mm).
A stronger version of the wing:
1 — ending with an oblique cut (Linden), 2, 4, 7 — strength of the gusset plate (plywood 3 mm), 3 — edge-spar (light pine 10х38 mm), 5 — rib (lip 3 mm), 6 — the Central rib (Linden 8 mm), 8 — trailing edge (pine 3×10 mm), 9 — solitaire (plywood 1.5 mm). The wing — micuenta paper or rough film-tracing.
A simplified version of the wing:
1 — ending with an oblique cut (light lime), 2 filler forehead (melkosortnyj packing foam, the workpiece is cut using thermotron templates profile), 3 — monolinuron (pine 4х12 mm), 4 — rib (lip thickness 2 — 3 mm), 5 — skin of forehead (thick writing paper for casein glue or epoxy resin), 6 — the Central rib (lip 6 mm), 7 — power scarf (plywood 3mm), 8 — trailing edge (pine 4х12 mm) 9 — the growing edge (plywood 1.5 mm), 10 — corner gusset (plywood 1.5 mm), 11 — Klondike reinforce the connection of the rib with the spar (3 mm plywood). The external covering of the entire wing — Mylar film with thickness of 0.02—0.025 on the glue "Moment".
In the original version, the fuselage was made by the classical models for expense of building a traditional model — lightweight at the rear, but the most technologically advanced (to the point that we refused to reduce its thickness to the tail, causing the entire length above the size of the fuselage is equal to 7 mm). The strength of it, even with the balsa nose exceptional. And the developed width in the rear makes mounting a flat tail.
The technology of making "ears" of the wing, similar to the keel and the stabilizer, fully understood from the drawings. The only thing I would like to mention — the paper for covering the foam inserts should be checked in the test samples as adhesives stitched. By the way, during this check you are able to gain experience to perform similar operations. Ready paper-foam parts can be simply ulcerate oil or synthetic varnishes or paint. The wing is fitted by a Mylar film with a filler (it's called "synthetic tracing paper"), or mcalenney paper on Amalia and lacquered the same nitrosatable.
The technology of making "ears" of the wing:
1 — profiled Board-stocks, 2 — bottom sheet (thick writing paper), 3 — leaf filler (packing foam thickness of 3 mm), 4 — detail of edging (pine 3×3 mm), 5 — upper sheet. The elements of the stabilizer are made similarly, on the flat bench.
The wing profiles:
A — original version B — simplified version, In a stronger version.
Having made the first model of the new model, we were initially surprised by the overall strength of the unusual light-winged soaring leader. The second stage of the surprise came when it turned out that the model needs to conform with the rules of downloading almost 100 grams! The fact that the actual glider was weighing just 124 g. Weight is trimmed of its elements is as follows: wing — 66 g, the fuselage 38 g, tail included — 20 g. When talking about weight might be interested to get acquainted with the weight of the paper-foam parts. As an example we present data for the stabilizer with the profile of the "flat plate" with a thickness of 3 mm, edged in foam with pine slats cross-section of 3×3 mm and with a Central rib insert 3 mm thick: foam filler — 3 g, wood details — 3.5 g, paper trim panel — 4 g, glue — 2.5 years old are Ready stabilizer weighs from 13 to 14
Producing the desired loading of the model to the standard take-off weight of 220 g (for which, alas, had to open the paneling and punch in the fuselage of the lead block on the centre of gravity of the glider), began flight tests. Of their details we will not tell, as through it you will be very helpful to do ourselves. Moreover, the strength of the new model is that to treat her as you like. We say only that after completion of the tests, we immediately laid a series of similar gliders, and designed not only for production and exploitation of newcomers, but also for competition purposes. In addition, there are two versions of the same car in which "blind" mass of the lead weights is translated or further hardening of the reinforced parts of a set or transformed into a modification and simplification of technology of manufacturing parts.
None of the options for installation of mechanized tow hook not provided for — in all cases well suited to the hook laterally offset from 4 to 13 mm. Straightness of the trajectory of the take-off by rotating (changing) the mounting angle of the keel. Adopted a system of compensation force asymmetrically installed the hook at the expense of different-sized twist right and left halves of the wing though, and tested on test, not too justified. Much more effective than the use of straight wing with compensation of moment of the vertical tail in this form, the glider on the rise in the guard rails cannot simply accelerate to amazing speeds. Best is reset lifelines are not at the Zenith, and at an angle relative to the ground about 50° — 60°. Of course, to accurately measure the actual height of the model launch failed, but visually it clearly exceeds the height of casting even a good championship glider of class A2.
On the basis of the unusual features of the start and increased as the speed of the model suggest that while debugging to depart from the usual methods adopted in Svobodnaya technology. Also we should not forget about the effect associated with the transition from a PLANO-convex profile of the stabilizer to a clean flat plate. Without going into theoretical details, just note that this transition "pulls" behind itself necessity of increasing the angle of installation of the stabilizer 1° — 2° above (relative position with PLANO-convex plumage). Also you need to remember that the aerodynamic characteristics of brachypterous models differ sharply from the conventional and the optimal ratio of the coefficients of drag and lift forces can be in the region of the unusual modes of planning and towing on the guard rails.
