Q: MochaJS + Global variables + Redux I've been looking for an answer but couldn't find one.
This is my test.js:

process.env.__ENVIRONMENT__ = 'production'; // This does not work
global.__ENVIRONMENT__ = 'production'; // This does not work, either

import assert from 'assert';
import Product from '../../../../app/modules/products/containers/Product';

console.log(Product);

describe('Array', function() {

  describe('#indexOf()', function() {
    it('should return -1 when the value is not present (suplicate)', function() {
      assert.equal(-1, [1,2,3].indexOf(4));
    });
  });
});

This is my containers/Product.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Helmet from 'react-helmet';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import * as ProductActions from '../actions/products';

// @connect(state => { user: state.user })
class Product extends Component {
  // Normal code
}

The problem comes with the actions, this is my /actions/products.js file:

import {root_url, request_config} from '../../../config'; // This line here is my problem

export const PRODUCT_INVALID = 'PRODUCT_INVALID';
export const PRODUCT_FETCHING = 'PRODUCT_FETCHING';
export const PRODUCT_FETCHED = 'PRODUCT_FETCHED';
export const PRODUCT_FETCH_FAILED = 'PRODUCT_FETCH_FAILED';

function fetchProduct(slug) {

  return (dispatch) => {

    dispatch({ type: PRODUCT_FETCHING, slug: slug });

    return fetch(`${root_url}/p/${slug}`, request_config)
      .then((response) => {
        return response.json();
      })
      .then(
        (result) => dispatch({ type: PRODUCT_FETCHED, slug: slug, result }),
        (error) => {
          console.log(error);
          dispatch({ type: PRODUCT_FETCH_FAILED, slug: slug, error });
        }
      );
  }
}

function shouldFetchProduct(state, slug) {
  console.log("state", state);
  const product = state.products[slug];

  if (!product ||
    product.readyState === PRODUCT_FETCH_FAILED ||
    product.readyState === PRODUCT_INVALID ) {
    return true;
  }

  return false;
}

export function fetchProductIfNeeded(slug) {
  return (dispatch, getState) => {
    if (shouldFetchProduct(getState(), slug)) {
      return dispatch(fetchProduct(slug));
    }
  }
}

As you can see, I make an import to /config/index.js, this is the content of the file:

if (__ENVIRONMENT__ === 'production') {
  module.exports = require('./production')
} else {
  module.exports = require('./default')
}

And there is basically where mocha fails, as '____ENVIRONMENT____' is not defined.
What's the best way to solve this?

cleaned up the previous post.
more, here's a new proposal that will make life easier.
specifically, it is derived from existing work on this, the SXML.
with a far simpler, and more strict, format.
incorrect syntax, that page is not displayed.
Here's a standard ATOM webfeed XML file.
"〕", similarly for the 「corner brackets」.
For example, "&" is not allowed.
Source code must be UTF8 or UTF16, only. Nothing else.
File name extension is ".xml6" or ".html6".
The semantics should follow xhtml5.
What's wrong with xhtml/html5 exactly?
cares. Major browsers still don't agree on their rendering behavior.
practical approach is still trial n error with browsers.
from both SGML and XML.
Why not just adopt SXML from the lisp world?
Lisp's SXML is not a stand-alone syntax for the need of the web.
For lisp's syntax irregularities, see: Fundamental Problems of Lisp.
is info attached to a node.
considered as a value for that property.
This too, have syntactical ambiguity.
considered as a node named "cons" with 2 branches "id" and ""xyz"".
of a node due to semantics attached to the head string "@".
Why use weird Unicode characters for matching pair?
limited number of ASCII characters.
be trivially tranformed into legal lisp syntax by lisps as well.


All of my items are posted using Royal Mail, 2nd class and signed for unless otherwise stated in my descriptions.
You may find that occasionally my shop will be on hold, this will be because I will be attending a fair or an event with my items. As most are 'one off' creations, this means that I may remove an item at any time.
The HARRIS TWEED I have used for this bag is a check pattern in shades of pinks and purples with a touch of cream and black and a plain pink twill. You can see that the plain pink accents the check.
It is a very spacious bag which has a zipped closure to the top and two spacious zipped pockets on the front. All the zips have double zippers so can be opened from any side, ideal if you wish to carry it on either shoulder.
For the lining I have used a white cotton that is printed with pink flowers and script in which the colours coordinate with the Tweed perfectly. This also carries through into the front zipped pockets.
The adjustable strap is made of black cotton webbing and is doubly secured with silver coloured rivets.
I have sewn the HARRIS TWEED Orb label on to the front. This is your guarantee of genuine HARRIS TWEED cloth.
( 11" x 10.5" x 3") and it is fully stabilised for strength and structure.
All of my bags will be wrapped in tissue and placed in a lidded box. Perfect to keep them safe in storage in the times it may not be used, if there ever would be a time!!!!
Please note that the colours shown may vary slightly due to different screen resolution settings.
HARRIS TWEED, or 'Clo Mor' (The Big Cloth) is the only fabric in the world governed by its own Act of Parliament.
The 1993 Act of Parliament underpins the unique status of HARRIS TWEED and decrees that genuine HARRIS TWEED must be made from virgin wool which has been dyed and spun on the Islands and handwoven at the home of the weaver in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
The mark of the Orb as seen on the traditional labels fixed to finished items, guarantees the highest quality tweed, dyed, spun and handwoven by Islanders of Harris, Lewis, Uist and Barra on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland in their homes to the laws outlined in the HARRIS TWEED Act of Parliament.
When you buy HARRIS TWEED you are guaranteed the best, safe in the knowledge that the Orb secures a perfect and very hard wearing cloth. Soft, tactile, breathable, warm, colourful, sustainable, adaptable......what isn't there to love about this iconic cloth. A little bit of British Heritage for your collection.
This item will be posted to you by Hare and Boathouse Creations within 3 days of receiving payment.

sudo systemctl stop lightdm

Then switch to other terminal: Ctrl+Alt+F3
After performing required actions, you could try to start it again by:
sudo systemctl start lightdm

All user's processes will be terminated.
To find out what display manager is used, run the next command:

The 2014 downhill season kicked off for the east coast last Sunday with the 2014 POC Eastern States Cup Race #1: Duryea Downhill in Reading, Pennsylvania. The course famous for it's road gap over Duryea Drive was heavily revamped and enhanced for this year's edition, utilizing numerous jumps, gaps and step-downs to make up for what the course lacks in steepness.
Racers start at the top of Skyline Drive, up the road from the iconic Reading Pagoda and roughly 700 feet above downtown. From there they would encounter an extremely technical rock garden along a ridgeline before hitting the first of almost 20 jumps/drops; this one being a 10 foot step-down.
The next mile would feature everything from flowy berms, to more chundery rock, several more step-downs and gaps and a long pedal section before reaching the "big four" features on course. The first was a 30 foot gap that came after a series of moderately sized step downs. Riders then had about 200 meters to ready themselves for the "Bunker Gap", a 20 foot gap off of said bunker that boosted riders as far up as it did out. Five seconds after landing riders had to decide whether or not to go for the infamous "Road Gap".
Offering a go-around that was essentially a 10 foot long wooden tabletop; this crowd favorite sent riders 37 feet across Duryea Drive and into a berm where they would then have a go at the speed trap before the final of the big four, the "Gully Gap".
This 15 foot gap required both pedal and braking power, as there would be no gravity feeding into it and upon landing, riders had to slam the brakes and make a sharp right down to a G-Out and across the road to the final section of the course. From there it was all down hill (had to be done), as the steepest sections of the course would bring riders to the finish line. The final two chutes started with an A-frame that dropped riders precipitously onto a tree-laden patch of trail with an awkward exit across the road and down the steepest section of the course and across the finish line.
The pros would be the final riders of the day and provided a fittingly dramatic finish to fantastic day of racing. One by one, the pro men came down and played musical chairs with the hot seat until the brothers Mulally came flying across the finish, both well ahead of everyone else. Trek World Racing star Neko Mulally was the first of the two down the course and crossed the finish with an absolutely absurd time of 2:51:84. Younger brother Logan came shortly afterwards and stopped the clock at 2:55:04.
Five riders would follow them across the line but due to some course infractions, both Brendan Looby and Mauricio Estrada were granted additional runs. "Unfortunately my race run didn't go as planned." says Mountain Creek Bike Park rider Jon Hanson. "At the road gap I clipped the last plank above the transition and it sent me over the bars.
As I was trying to get back on course I got in the way of Mauricio Estrada. I felt really badly about that and when I got to the bottom I went to the officials and let them know so he could be granted a re-run."
Presumably Brendan Looby was halted on course for the same reason and as the two riders made their ways to the top of the course, victory and podiums were left hanging in the balance. Looby would come down first and stop the clock at 3:12:59, bumping Jason Scheiding out of 5th place. Estrada was last on course and would cross the line with a time of 2:56:70, putting him well ahead of local pro Cameron Nyguist and into 3rd place.
The pro field for the women went 3 riders deep and Mary Elges dominated, winning by almost 20 seconds over 2nd place Heather Cowell. Stephanie Levesque Sowles would cross the line in 3rd with a 4:18:20. Jonathan Gabor and Amy Temarantz would be the fastest amateurs on the day, crossing the line at 3:08:56 and 4:18:51 respectively.
With POC Eastern States Cup and Maxxis Gravity East teaming up for the first race of the year, riders were able to take one race and receive points for two series. Overcast conditions early on couldn't dampen the spirits of the athletes or the crowds, as thousands showed up to cheer on the riders; many hiking up the course from the finish line located in a Berks County park a block outside of downtown.
The 2014 Duryea Downhill proved a great start to what is shaping up to be a game-changing 2014 downhill season for POC Eastern States Cup and the east coast. For more information and race schedules, please visit: www.easternstatescup.com/series-information/.
Jon Hanson, what a gentleman!
Estrada was held up twice. The rider before him crashed off the berm after the road gap right into the blue pad. He had to slow down when he caught up to him before the gully gap jump.
I'm so pissed, I left early to go shooting, I would have killed to watch neko race live.
anyone know where I can find more photos of the course? sounds awesome!


If it's hard for you to go without meat once a week, try this vegan beetroot cake for dinner. It's rich and flavourful, packed with goodness and totally makes you forget that meat exists. It's a dessert, by the way, but sometimes dessert is a great main!
Combine all crust ingredients in a blender until smooth. Sprinkle the carob/cacao powder in the base of one large springform pan and press down crust mixture. Freeze.
Blend agave nectar and beets in blender until very smooth. Add cashew flour and blend again. Add remaining ingredients and process (do not overwork blender though). Pour mix over frozen base. Cover or seal cake on a flat surface for about 2 hours in the refrigerator or freezer until very firm.
Process all topping ingredients until smooth. Pour over top of firm/frozen cake using a flat thick spatula to spread. Refreeze for 1-2 hours. It will be a thick topping. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Has anyone made this cake yet? Can you describe the taste?
This is my issue with these highly entertaining and creative recipes…I would like to know what..at least approximately, I am getting into taste-wise.
I made the cake and it tastes lovely, I guess it\'s a bit like a carrot cake you don\'t actually taste the vegetable in the cake, the only problem I had with the cake was I cooked it for longer than I needed to and it was a bit dry, otherwise I\'d say yes give it a go.
What can you use instead of Carob powder?


When Theresa May called a snap election for June 8 it took the Convention team a few minutes to decide that we would go ahead with two days of debate, discussion and open forums at Central Hall, Westminster on May 12 and 13. Never was real debate on the future of politics and the United Kingdom more needed, never more relevant.
While Brexit may be the reason for May's summer election, it is striking how little politicians have said on the biggest issue of national interest since the war. Over the last nine months you could hear a pin drop in the chamber of the House of Commons, because the Opposition has, in effect, conspired with the government to shut down debate.
That was why we set up the Convention on Brexit and the Political Crash. Theresa May's dash for a huge majority, which would give her extraordinary powers over her own party and the country, changes nothing. We are still profoundly concerned about the future of the Union, the creaking British constitution, the failure of leaders to connect people with their politics, the media in the post-truth age, the populist insurgency in the West and, above all, about the environment and climate change.
We confidently predict that most parties will do everything in their power to avoid discussion of these subjects, underlining what may be regarded as a fundamental flaw in our political system. However, we will kick this election off by asking all parties to participate in our debates on the biggest themes. The convention will go wider than the campaign, and we hope it will go deeper and higher.
But let's just get something straight – we listen as well as speak. The Convention is about people gathering to think about and shape Britain's future.
We live in an unstable world. This is a critical moment in the life of both our country and Europe. We open our doors a week after UK local elections and just four days after the second round of the all-important French Presidential election. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of Europe hangs on the result in France, and we will, of course, have European experts on hand to comment on the new political landscape in France. Whatever the result, it is bound to have implications for the British General Election.
So, we press on, resolute that we will host the debates that have been so absent in politics and much of the media. We hope you will join to us to speak as well as listen.


We're a family run business with a keen interest in all things knitting. As well as carrying some of the more popular knitting brands we also specialise in some of the european yarns that you may be less familiar with but are nevertheless fabulous, just take a look!

Google gobble: Thanksgiving trends on Search
In just a few hours, people across the U.S. will be settling in for a day of food, family and football as they celebrate Thanksgiving. As the day of gluttony and gratitude comes closer, people have been turning to Google to plan the big meal, get cooking tips and more. Here's a look at some of the top Turkey Day searches—for more, see Google Trends.
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, people turn to Google to learn more about the origins of the holiday and its traditions, both new and old. Top questions include "Why did the pilgrims celebrate the first Thanksgiving?" and "What president made Thanksgiving a national holiday?"
The other reason for the season
Gratitude may be in the name, but food is the centerpiece of Thanksgiving. For weeks now people have been searching for recipes to wow their relatives this Thursday, from classics like cranberry relish and mashed potatoes to turkey alternatives like lasagna and beef stew. Here's a look at the top recipes that trend every November:
Even amongst regional variations, family eccentricities or that ambitious new recipe you clipped from a food magazine, there's one dish that takes the casserole on Thanksgiving Day. Stuffing is the top searched Thanksgiving recipe in 49 out of 50 states, with only North Carolina standing up proud for sweet potatoes. Our take: Why not have both?
Even for people whose usual meal prep consists of shuffling through take-out menus, Thanksgiving is a time to roll up your sleeves and get to work in the kitchen. That—and the fact that a 20-lb poultry dish is a little harder to put on the table than, say, the ol' blue box of mac and cheese—means it's also a time when many turn to Google to brush up on some cooking tips. In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, you're asking all kinds of questions, from simple queries like "how to cook spaghetti squash" and "how to boil eggs" to advanced topics like "what can I make ahead for thanksgiving?" and the very crucial, very daunting "How do you make turkey gravy?"
Let's talk turkey
The top Thanksgiving recipe question, however, is focused on the main dish: "How to cook a turkey?" Related questions include "how much turkey do you cook per person?" (Answer: there's math involved but the most important part is making enough for sandwiches for multiple days after), followed quickly by "How long to cook a turkey?" (answer: more math).
And though roasting is still the top trending technique method for cooking the big bird, enterprising (or efficiency-oriented) chefs across the U.S. are also searching for tips on how to smoke and deep-fry their turkeys. Proof that there's more than one way to cook a turkey.
Whether you'll be slicing into pumpkin or pecan pie, eating your turkey smoked, turduckened or made of tofu, serving up fresh cranberry sauce or popping open a can—we hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!

and the US experience systematic above-trend increases in both prices and transactions. During the fourth and first quarters (the "cold season"), house prices and transactions fall below trend. We propose a search-and-matching framework that sheds new light on the mechanisms governing housing market fluctuations. The model has a "thick-market" effect that can generate substantial differences in the volume of transactions and prices across seasons, with the extent of seasonality in prices depending crucially on the bargaining power of sellers. The model can quantitatively mimic the seasonal fluctuations in transactions and prices observed in the UK and the US.

Let's be real: No one is whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears anymore. These days, flirting has gone from sexual to textual — and sending the perfect text message is just as essential as how you communicate IRL.
For those of us who aren't natural Shakespeares, emojis are key to creating these cute "I like you" cues for our crushes. Recently, a UK-based company called DrEd picked up on this trend, and conducted a study to find out which of the little symbols were getting sent the most frequently on Twitter. The results have us ready to get our flirt on.
Surprisingly, the top three emojis were very tame. Heart eyes dominated the findings, popping up in over 2 million romantic tweets. Though there's no indication of what DrEd qualified as a "romantic" tweet, the heart eye emoji makes a lot of sense: It's relatively safe to send to a crush compared to, say, an eggplant with a bunch of sparkles. The kissy face and kitty with heart eyes emojis — which took home the silver and bronze respectively — are also pretty clean.
The rest of the top ten included some more "suggestive" ones, like the unpeeled banana, the tongue, and the eggplant. (You know, the emojis you don't want to accidentally send to your parents.) But overall, the list was very balanced.
DrEd also found that women are more likely to use flirty emojis than men, especially when it comes to the lipstick mark and kitty with heart eyes. Dudes, however, seem to prefer sending the more explicit eggplant emoji: According to this survey, they use it 16% more than the ladies.
Emojis start to take on heightened meanings when used in combinations, like emoji sentences. Apparently, three tongues in a row is America's favorite way to flirt.
As per usual, the grinning poop emoji is missing from these lists, but I guess I'm the only one who flirts like a fourth grader. Since when did tweeting suggestive vegetables become a better way to say, "I like you," than poop jokes?
Guess we'll just have to save those emojis for the rest of our tweets.

The purpose of Project R.E.A.C.H., (Research, Educate, Act, Create, Help) is to assist students in developing confidence in their own abilities to serve as a positive force in their communities, and to promote pro-social interactions with humans and animals alike. Special needs students learn about responsible pet ownership, ways to help animals in the community, and the importance of standing up against animal cruelty. Students work in partnership with the local no-kill animal shelter to assist the volunteers who keep the donation-based establishment up and running.
Examples of student assistance include: Completing research projects about their favorite animals; participating in pet adoption activities; visiting and interacting with adoptable pups; spearheading successful donation drives; creating banners for Salem County Humane Society fundraisers; and using social media to advertise and network for animals in need. By learning through real-world applications, students are empowered to become engaged members of society, and to contribute to their community in productive, meaningful ways.

My current code looks like this, but it's not even terminating when I

You call readdir() only once and then have an endless loop operating on the same dirent again and again. Change that to
struct dirent *dp1;
…
while (dp1 = readdir(dp))

It would often be easy for an attacking camel to itself get onto a decentralized key square, but that would be no good if the opponent then took a strong camel hostage. A camel should advance only when the overall position minimizes this risk.
The silver camel fights directly against a gold horse, which has been pushed into passivity. When Silver pushes a gold horse off b3, b2 is the best square to push it onto; on a3 or c3, that horse would be more active. With the silver camel nearby, Gold should have placed a piece on b2, so that the gold horse couldn't be pushed onto that square.
The a4 rabbit keeps the silver camel mobile, and also stops Gold from gaining space on the a-file.
If Gold takes the silver camel hostage, the c3 rabbit will help Silver blockade the trap and thereby get a strong elephant rotation. Although Gold appears strong in the east, a camel hostage would likely backfire on him.
The d5 horse can replace the elephant on d3, whether or not the hostage is taken.
Gold to move could flip the silver rabbit out of c3, but the gold elephant would have to remain on c4 to stop Silver from occupying c3 or making captures therein.
Rather than pull pieces homeward, one facing a possible camel attack should perhaps try to block weaker pieces from advancing ahead of their camel.
The gold elephant and camel have opened a goal path.
If the enemy elephant is committed to another part of the board, the camel can attack without fear. At left, Gold has taken full advantage of the silver elephant's isolation in the southeast. Gold's elephant–camel attack has forced silver pieces east, clearing a path for a western rabbit advance. Although Silver to move can temporarily block a goal, Gold can force captures in c6, clearing even more space.
It is usually problematic to have an attacking elephant and camel on c5 and c7, but here that alignment works very well for Gold. The silver elephant is in no position to fork the gold camel, and having the gold elephant and camel on the c-file makes it harder for silver pieces to move west.
If not for the gold rabbit on a6, Silver could defend the c6 trap with a move such as rd6w dd3n md5n rd8w. The threat of goal, however, will force Silver to play a move such as rd8w ce7nw rc8w, allowing Gold to control the c6 trap with Ec5we rb6s Ra6e.

Jose 'a failure' as Crespo spares Blues blushes
Last updated at 07:52 15 August 2005
Wigan 0 Chelsea 1
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho branded himself a failure after watching his champions offer a glimmer of hope to the rest of the Barclays Premiership at the JJB Stadium.
Mourinho, whose side swept to their first title for 50 years with consummate ease last season, looked anything but reigning kings as new-boys Wigan came close to pulling off a curtain-raising shock.
It required a sensational goal from Hernan Crespo in the third minute of injury time to give Chelsea a victory that never for one moment appeared on the cards, and was ultimately rough justice on the Latics and manager Paul Jewell.
Although Chelsea's players and fans celebrated, Mourinho did not, and instead offered a consoling word in the right ear of Jewell, effectively apologising as he claimed the goal was "unfair".
What followed was typical Mourinho as he was forthright in his assessment of a display that was anything but befitting of champions.
"I wasn't surprised by them [Wigan], but I was surprised by our performance," assessed Mourinho.
"We saw videos and we knew everything about them, so we were prepared - and I thought the players were too.
"We worked well in the week. Everything was good and I felt the players were ready for this, but they played better than us.
"To play big games, everybody is ready with concentration and motivation. To prepare them for those kind of games is easy.
'To win we need to play better than this'
"The difficulty is preparing them for these kind of games. I think this week I failed because I didn't prepare them, with respect, to kill off the opponent.
"Wigan showed they can play at this level. They fight well, are together and are well organised. They tried to close what they know Chelsea are good at and explore where they think Chelsea are not so good.
"They were well prepared, but we have to play better. To win we need to play better than this.
"The first half was poor. We had no control of the game, no ball possession and the players were out of position.
"If somebody looking at the game was trying to understand our system, they would not have done because there was no system. It was too bad to be true."
Mourinho eventually switched to wing-backs in the 60th minute when he brought on Crespo for Damien Duff, yet even then Chelsea looked ill at ease as Wigan refused to wilt under the growing pressure.
Instead, after chances in the first half for one of six new faces in Henri Camara and then Alan Mahon, they had late opportunities in the second.
Another new boy in Damien Francis first clipped the top of the crossbar, while sub Andreas Johansson spurned two breakaways as Chelsea found themselves stretched.
'My players have done themselves and the team proud'
Naturally, Jewell was left feeling "gutted" at seeing a deserved point slip from his grasp as Crespo swept home a sensational 20-yard left-foot curler into the top right-hand corner with virtually the last kick of the game.
Jewell, though, feels if his side play to this standard every week then the pre-season favourites for the drop will avoid an immediate return to the Coca-Cola Championship.
"My players have done themselves and the team proud," said Jewell.
"There are ways to lose football games, and that is a way to lose. It feels horrible, but there was no stone left unturned by the players. I can't ask any more than that.
"If we can do it against Chelsea then we can do it week in and week out, and if we play like that and give the effort then I think we will surprise some people.
With last season's leading scorer Nathan Ellington due to complete a £3million move to West Brom tomorrow, Jewell is on the lookout for another striker, with Norwich's Dean Ashton linked.
But he refused to give anything away as he said: "We are after good players and we need another striker.
"But I don't want to get involved because it's not fair to talk about other players at other clubs. I don't suppose Norwich will want to sell him anyway."


"Make sure to try them all to get the perfect fit, not only will the comfort enhance, but so will the sound."
"I typically do not care for in-ear headphones because they are often so hard to get a good fit, however I feel with the included variety ear adapters, most users will find the perfect fit I found."
"The earbuds fit comfortably though I'm not sure how well they will stay in if one was running or doing other harsh movements."
"Love the fit and am able to recline sleep with these."
"They fit extremely well, and the tips are a great feel much like all the other brainwavz pieces."
"Acoustic isolation, with proper tip fit, is very good."
"Take the time to get a good fit to have the best results."
"The three tip sizes are adequate to get a good fit; which is essential to acoustic isolation and best sound quality."
"Just not as clear as it should be when listening to classical music."
"Their soundstage is wide, crisp, accurate and natural which is awesome for virtually every music genre."
"I tried them with all sorts of music, from classical to hard rock and all sounded good, with no hissing in the high range or boomy sound in the bass."
"If you listen to music in between the demands of those two genres, you'll likely be happy by both the price and what you get for it."
"For budget level headphones the music was very good and clear and has more bass than the similarly priced Deltas, although not as huge of a difference in sound as I would have expected."
"If you love bass heavy music such as hip-hop or EDM, then these will probably make you very happy."
"If you are interested in finding a best buy with regards to audiophile quality and cheap price, then you cant go wrong thinking of getting the Brianwavz Alpha Earphones."
"A lot of the headphones in this price range are hard to listen to, and often times are trash."
"She says they sound great and so I feel like we got a good deal on quality and price on these."
"These stsay in my ears and sound good, Have been durable with fairly vigorous use, Worth the money for my mp3 player"
"And the low price is just as good."
"Well worth the money, and at the price, much better than cheaper alternatives compared to Sony, Skullcandy, etc."
"These are not nearly as accurate as a pair such as the M3's but the build quality, and audio-to-value is still very high for the low price of $20."
"My only real complaint would be the build quality."
"WONDERFUL audio quality for the price.....and a year warranty?"
"Sound quality is clear with more mid-range and high-end sounds."
"The wires of this set are a little thin and won't compare in quality to more expensive sets but are good for the price."
"---------------------------SOUND: 4 5---------------------------*Highs 4 5*Mids 4 5*Lows 4 5---------------------------COMFORT 5 5---------------------------At first, I thought these would be semi, or completely uncomfortable due to their size, but that is not the case at all."
"But still, I'm here to give them a fair test, so put them up against the Apple earphones that shipped with my iPhone 6.They're more comfortable, for sure, offering soft tips over small posts, something quite welcome for people with small ear canals."
"These headphones come with everything that you will need to select the size that works best for your ears including:These Brainwavz Alpha Headphones sound just as good as they look and feel."
"I would recommend these earbuds to anyone who wants good sound together with a small package."
"I recommend finding a small case for these, if you want to carry them around in a backpack or something."
"Make sure you get a good seal or else the sound will leak and sound mediocre."
"Ear buds do not sound good as advertisements led me to think."
"I dont know if its because its a different vendor who sold these to me, but the sound is like 2 10, really disappointed."
"This also includes one medium set of Bi-flange tips, that get optiminal in-ear sound, and foam eartips that tend to become damaged when removing them."
"Very pleased Excellent sound for my purposes."
"Sound is great - much better than the Sony set I had been using."

Labor and Employment Alert: Seventh Circuit Issues Surprising Ruling Backing NLRB's Prohibition on Class/Collective Action Waivers
6/6/2016 Labor and Employment Alert: Yes, Virginia, At-Will Employment Ends With or Without Advance Notice
6/3/2016 Labor and Employment Alert: Final Regulations Change the Allocation Rule for Roth IRA Rollovers
Michael F. O'Brien
In December 2013, in D.R. Horton, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the National Labor Relation Board's (NLRB) prohibition on mandatory arbitration clauses. Since then, the vast majority of federal courts addressing this issue have agreed with the Fifth Circuit, including the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second and Eighth Circuits. Despite this string of losses, the NLRB has continued to rule that arbitration agreements with class or collective action waivers violate employees' rights to engage in protected concerted activity under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
Recently, in May 2016, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the NLRB and held that a company's arbitration agreement that prohibited employees from participating in class or collective actions violated the employees' right to engage in concerted activity under the NLRA. By doing so, the Seventh Circuit became the first federal court of appeals to agree with the NLRB's position. The Court's decision in Lewis v. Epic Systems Corp. creates a split among the circuit courts and sets the stage for a potential review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Factual Background and Decision
The plaintiff in Lewis was already employed by Epic Systems when he signed an arbitration agreement that included a class/collective action waiver. He was required to sign the agreement in order to remain employed. He later filed a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), alleging that employees were misclassified and not paid overtime. The company asked the trial court to dismiss the lawsuit and compel individual arbitration. The court ruled that the collective/class action waiver could not be enforced because it violated plaintiff's right to engage in concerted activities under the NLRA. The company appealed that decision to the Seventh Circuit.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the trial court's decision, ruling that "concerted activity" under the NLRA unambiguously includes class and collective actions. But even if the term were ambiguous, the Court said it would defer to the NLRB's interpretation of that term as including class and collective actions. Notably, the Seventh Circuit rejected an argument that was accepted by every other circuit court ruling on this issue – that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) requires enforcement of the arbitration agreement. Indeed, the Court stated that "it is not clear to us that the FAA has anything to do with this case." In addition, the Court found that, even if the FAA were implicated, there was no conflict between its ruling and the FAA's requirement that arbitration agreements be placed on the same footing as other types of contracts. The Court relied on the FAA's savings clause, which states that arbitration agreements are enforceable, "save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract." The Court reasoned that, because the class/collective action waiver in this case was unlawful under the NLRA, it was "illegal, and meets the criteria of the FAA's savings clause for non-enforcement."
Impact of Decision
Lewis is surprising because the Seventh Circuit is generally considered to be a business-friendly court. However, the Seventh Circuit decision was issued by a three-judge panel, two of whom are Democratic appointees. While a decision like this is typically followed by a request for a rehearing before the entire Seventh Circuit in the hope of overturning the panel's decision, the Court previously indicated that it would not rehear the case. It is unclear whether the Company plans to request a rehearing anyway or instead plans to petition the Supreme Court for review.
For now, Lewis' impact is that a class/collective action waiver that is required as a condition of employment will not be enforced in federal courts within the Seventh Circuit (Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin). Such waivers should be enforced by federal courts in the Second, Fifth, and Eighth Circuits. It is unclear how federal courts in the remaining circuits will rule. The Lewis court declined to opine on whether an arbitration agreement with a class/collective waiver that provides time for employees to opt out would be enforceable. In contrast, the NLRB has found that all such agreements violate the NLRA, regardless of whether they include an opt-out provision.
A Republican victory in the 2016 presidential election could also impact this issue because the majority of NLRB members would be Republican appointees who – based on the strong dissents written by the current Republican NLRB members – may very well reverse the NLRB's prohibition on class/collective action waivers. The Seventh Circuit's decision was based partially on its deference to the NLRB's interpretation of the NLRA, so it remains to be seen how its decision or future court decisions would be impacted by an NLRB reversal.
For now, employers must decide whether to be aggressive or conservative in enforcing existing arbitration agreements and whether to require employees to sign arbitration agreements with class/collective action waivers. For employers in circuits where the issue has been decided, the answer is fairly straightforward – follow the precedent of the applicable circuit court. For employers in circuits in which the circuit court has not yet ruled on this issue, the road forward is not as clear. The Seventh Circuit's decision further complicates the matter for multi-state employers considering arbitration programs and have been holding back because of the NLRB's position. The fact that the NLRB's position has been upheld by a circuit court may cause such employers to forego implementation until the Supreme Court weighs in, or until there is an NLRB is friendlier to employer interests.
Contact your Vorys lawyer if you have questions about implementing or enforcing arbitration agreements and class/collective action waivers.

Q: Why does udevadm not provide me a disk serial number when hdparm can? Compare:
root@home:~# hdparm -I /dev/sdb | grep Serial
    Serial Number:      WCJ025C8
    Transport:          Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5, SATA Rev 2.6, SATA Rev 3.0
root@home:~#

to:
root@home:~# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdb) | grep -i serial
    ATTRS{serial}=="0123456789ABCDEF"
    ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:14.0"
root@home:~#

I see this 0123456789ABCDEF a lot with udev, but it's bogus, whereas hdparm's output exactly matches the physical number on the drive.
As a result, I can't create udev rules that'll match my 4 USB drives by serial number.
I'm running ubuntu 16.04 LTE.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

A: In the end I went with this, which is a bit of a hack:
KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", PROGRAM="/root/get_disk_serial.sh %k", SYMLINK+="disk/by-serial/%c"

and then a quick script like this:
#!/bin/bash

/sbin/hdparm -I /dev/$1 | grep 'Serial Number' | awk '{print $3}'

It ain't pretty, but it works...

A: According to this SUSE knowledge base article, some (or possibly all) of these device properties are set by 60-persistent-storage.rules. Since udev delays execution of udev rules until all .rules files have been evaluated, these properties are available in, e.g., a RUN assignment key–value pair, but not during evaluation of matching key–value pairs.
In short, to use these properties in your matching key–value pairs, your udev rule file must have a name "greater than" "60-persistent-storage.rules", e.g., "80-set-storage-permissions.rules". This will ensure it's only evaluated after 60-persistent-storage.rules.
The following worked for me to match a drive by partition table UUID or serial number:
# Match by partition table UUID.
SUBSYSTEM="block", \
ACTION="add", \
ENV{ID_PART_TABLE_UUID}="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", \
RUN+="<command>"

# Match by serial number.
SUBSYSTEM="block", \
ACTION="add", \
ENV{ID_SERIAL}="WD00000000_0000000000", \
RUN+="<command>"

For a full list of the properties you can match by, run udevadm info /sys/block/<kernel>, where <kernel> is the name of the block device, e.g., sda, nvme0n1.

Par of the course of Google releasing CRAP products!!!
I don't think I would agree with that. Most of their software seems pretty good to me, though the support is somewhere between abysmal and nonexistent, and they are often terrible at listening to what improvements people want. As far as hardware, I'm only familiar with the Android devices they've partnered up to make (have they done any other hardware besides the Nest?), and I think they're pretty nice and I think have been generally well received. Certainly not widely regarded as "crap".

Universal Health Care has the Potential to Boost Economic Growth
Every year, over 63 million people face poverty due to healthcare costs alone, owing to the lack of financial protection of health-care needs.
The Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme, adopted globally, aims to provide promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services without any financial hardships. It ensures equal access to care regardless of income level, social status, gender, caste or religion, providing affordable and accountable health care to individuals and populations with the government being the guarantor and enabler, although not necessarily the only provider of healthcare services. In India, the concept of UHC was anticipated way back in 1946 by the landmark Bhore Committee report which envisaged a country where no individual will fail to access adequate care because of the inability to pay. Now UHC is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN) for eliminating poverty and building a more resilient planet. It's also based on the World Health Organization (WHO) constitution of 1948 declaring health as a fundamental human right, as well as on the Health for All agenda set by the Alma-Ata declaration of 1978. UHC has the potential to boost economic growth, improve educational opportunities, reduce impoverishment and inequalities, and foster cohesion. Steps taken for achieving UHC will address public health challenges and vice versa.
In India, in October 2010, a high-level expert group (HLEG) on UHC was constituted by the Planning Commission with the mandate of developing a framework for providing easily accessible and affordable healthcare to all Indians. The critical area for the provision of UHC as per the recommendations were health financing, health infrastructure, health service norms, skilled human resource for health, access to medicines, vaccines and technology, management and institutional reforms, and community participation. Key recommendations pertaining to these areas were provided. The group had proposed that the government (central and state) should increase public expenditures on health. It also recommended ensuring availability of free essential medicines by increasing public spending on drug procurement and that user fees of all forms be dropped as a source of government revenue for health. Experts also put a lot of emphasis on primary health care as well as trained human resources. To improve community participation, it was recommended that Village Health Committees or Health and Sanitation Committees be transformed into participatory Health Councils. It also suggested strengthening the management systems of UHC systems, apart from recommending several institutional reforms.
However, the provision of UHC has not been free from challenges and India has one of the largest disease burdens in the world. We also have major problems related to malnutrition as well as reproductive and child health, gender inequality and availability of trained HR. Apart from this, inadequate funding, weak public health systems, weak management systems, inequalities in access to healthcare, unknown quality and health outcomes, commercialized, fragmented and unregulated healthcare delivery systems, and lack of integration between health and other sectors have added to the problems. There is also inadequate research to achieve healthcare for all as well as high out-of-pocket expenditure. Other factors like poverty, illiteracy, frequent and severe natural disasters have made matters complex.
Meanwhile, the Indian Government's expenditure on public health as part of the total health expenditure is about 30 per cent, which is the 17th lowest globally. We need adequate resources to empower healthcare services, reduce financial risks and barriers, and raise the capability of the population to effectively utilise available resources. There is enough evidence to show that strengthening of PHC is the most appropriate approach to achieve UHC. Hence, adopting an integrated national healthcare system built around a strong public primary care system would be the way forward.
Every year, over 63 million people face poverty due to healthcare costs alone, owing to the lack of financial protection of health-care needs. Consequently, out-of-pocket expenditure comprises 69 per cent of total health care costs in India. Less than a quarter of the Indian population has access to any mode of healthcare insurance. One of the key announcements made during the Union Budget 2018-19 was the Ayushman Bharat Program (ABP)scheme. It has two components -
a) Delivering comprehensive primary health care by establishing 150,000 health and wellness centres and,
b) providing financial protection for secondary and tertiary level hospitalization as part of the National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS). Additionally, the integration of Ayurveda and Yoga will further promote a holistic approach to the health of the community.
Simultaneously, there is also a need to pay close attention to the following areas: Nutrition and food security, water and sanitation, social inclusion to address concerns of gender, caste, religious and tribal minorities, decent housing, clean environment, employment and work security, occupational safety, and disaster management.
Although there have been numerous healthcare-related programs in India such as National Health Mission (NHM), Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY), Jann Suraksha Yojana (JSY) and several state-sponsored health insurance schemes, these are insufficient to provide and sustain UHC as they neglect primary care and outpatient care which are major contributors to out-of-pocket expenditure. Hence, the social objectives of these schemes would need to be merged and their scope considerably expanded to create a valued and viable model of UHC. Under financial protection, the plan will provide coverage of up to INR 500,000 a family a year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to almost 100 million low-income families (appx 500 million people). Thus, ABP will provide services for preventive, promotive, curative, diagnostic, rehabilitative and palliative care services. This program has also been referred to as 'the world's largest government-funded healthcare (insurance) program'.

Commonly known as Victoria Cathedral, The Cathedral of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception is one of the first churches built in Seychelles. Close to the city centre, this beautiful building is located near the Clock Tower in Olivier Maradan Street in Victoria. The largest Catholic church in Seychelles, it is beautiful and is built similar to the French style. With peaceful environs, it can make for a soulful visit to calm oneself. The local people of Victoria spend quiet hours in worship here. Visitors flock to see the marvels of the majestic building and its surrounding grounds.
The Victoria Cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Seychelles. Built on the place where Father Leon of Avanchers, in March 1851, set the first vault, the cathedral was devoted to the Virgin of Immaculate Conception. The church was constructed in 1892 and is one of the earliest churches of Seychelles. After a renovation which lasted two years from 1993 to 1995, the entire structure except the exterior walls had a makeover. The new doors with their intricate carvings and a beautiful tabernacle were added by the sculptor of Seychelles, Egbert Marday. In 2001, the cathedral became the final resting place of the first Bishop of Seychelles, Felix Paul.
The pristine white building with its regal stone staircase at the main entrance is the single most outstanding feature of the cathedral. This feature is supplemented by white stone pillars that grandly stand on either side of the door. The stained-glass windows throw vibrant colours when touched by sunlight. At the back is the bell tower which was built in 1898. As you step inside the cathedral, you have to climb four stone steps to access the rows of pews which lead to the altar. The pews are made of wood, and there are coloured stone flags all along the aisle. The altar bears fresh flowers and religious artefacts and looks compelling when soaked with the sunshine.
La Domus is a two-storey priest house next to the cathedral built in 1834. The house impresses with its splendid granite exterior. The gardens surrounding the cathedral are a sight to behold. The vibrant colours of the flowers, trees and plants make it hard for you to leave the grounds.
With space to host 700 people, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception has plenty of space for local worshippers as well as tourists. Enjoy the peace and calm of this place of worship while feasting your eyes on the amazing architecture. This resplendent church has to figure on your must-visit list of places when in Seychelles.


Another Taiwan Millions Tournament wrapped up at the Chinese Texas Hold'em Poker Association in Taipei City. This latest edition, which is now #5, ran for ten days from January 16 to 27 with 18 events lined up throughout. The Main Event drew the largest attendance of 645 entries, breaking its previous record of 537 set last year. In total, 16 countries were represented. Hong Kong brought in a mighty force of around 40 players. Awarded the top prize was Kaohsiung's Lin Chen Yi for his triumph at the Main Event. We've got the results for you below along with other big winners.
The 645-entry field Main Event with its NT$ 8,000 (~US$ 260) buy-in generated a prize pool of NT$ 4,254,420 (~US$ 138,200). This more than doubled the advertised 2M guarantee. The pot was divvied up among the top 96 players. The final table round up of course earned the largest cuts with champion Lin Chen Yi pocketing NT$ 800,000 (~US$ 26,000). Lin was a killing machine at the final table of 9. He eliminated 6 of his 8 opponents, even cracking aces with pocket fives.
Another event pulling in a big field was the NT$ 3500 Warm Up tournament. 495 entered for a prize pool over NT$ 1.4M (NT$ 45,500). The event ran for four days concluding with Kan Han Lee claiming the title. Lee earned NT$ 270,000 (NT$ 8,700) for his victory.
The NT$ 50,000 (~US$ 1,600) High Roller event attracted 34 to the tables. This generated a NT$ 1,454,100 prize pool. Six players earned a piece with Chie Jien Chu pocketing the largest share by defeating Alan King Lun Lau at heads up. Chu walked away with NT$ 549,200 (~US$ 17,800). This was the second largest payout of the series.
Apart from the High Roller event, the Shot Clock tournament had one of the bigger buy-ins of NT$ 12,000 (~US$ 390). A total of 101 signed up for a prize pool of NT$ 1,060,076. Female player Tsui Han Hsiao shipped the NT$ 281,376 (US$9,100) for her victory.

One of my classes this semester has been photojournalism, and let me say I have enjoyed it more than I ever thought I possibly could. I have fallen in love with telling stories with pictures. This is not that far of a stretch for me though, given the nature of my mind.
For my last assignment/volunteer photography job I shot the area 18 Special Olympics. And, no... I am not sharing those pictures here. I gave those pictures to area 18 and I will not distribute them. However, the Special Olympics for area 18 happened to be the same weekend that my oldest daughter's senior prom was. I was privileged to take her prom pictures.
Let's face it, using the Canon 5d Mark II has been enjoyable. And I would love to have a good camera for myself.
I am sure these are not the BEST prom pictures ever seen in the world, but I am happy with the job I was able to do. Having only used the camera I believe a total of three times and never using anything aside from a point and shoot prior.
But now I am addicted. I WANT a camera that will give me good pictures. That is where my budget starts screaming. I am looking at a Canon T3i with two lenses, the 18-55mm IS and the 55-250mm IS. Needless to say, it is not cheap. Too bad poor college students aren't tax deductible when they have families of their own.
I can always dream though and hopefully one day it will happen, because I really enjoy taking pictures. Who knows, I do graduate in December.

Roy Keane sends message to James Maddison over 'backwards' Arsenal transfer
Arsenal FC Leicester City FC
Jamie Kemble
August 7th 2021, 18:31
Follow @jamiekemble
Roy Keane has urged James Maddison not to take the 'backwards step' of joining Arsenal this summer.
Maddison has emerged as a target for the Gunners, who are keen to sign an attacking midfielder before the transfer window closes at the end of this month.
According to football.london, Arsenal have already made bids in an attempt to sign the England international, but so far, they have made little progress.
And that's good news for Maddison, according to Manchester United legend Keane, who believes the 24-year-old would be better off staying at Leicester City than leaving for Arsenal, given where the two clubs are.
Fulham set to sign Arsenal defender on loan
Man United could be willing to pay £80m for Premier League striker
Chelsea set to offer £30m for defender but could face competition from Man United
"Arsenal are a huge club, but at this moment in time I don't think it's a step up for him to leave Leicester, where they are, to go to Arsenal," he said on ITV Sports.
"(It's) probably backwards, at this moment in time.
"Arsenal are a huge club, but where Leicester are at the moment, trying to challenge for Champions League.
"They're winning, they won a trophy last year, Arsenal are short."

Leicester will compete in the Europa League this season having finished fifth, just missing out on a top four finish last term.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will be without European football in the coming campaign following an eighth place finish which saw them miss out on Europe for the first time in 25 years.

Thank you so much for this article, was about to phone a plumber about my machine, turns out, my next-door neighbours had a new fence built last week and the workers cracked the water pipes leaving me with really low water pressure. The washing machine was filling up slowly til it gushed out of the machine door. Workmen are due tomorrow to fix water pressure so have turned off water to the machine. Many thanks, looking here saved me more than a few quid!
We bought a Zanussi ZWF 16581W a year ago.
Gravity filled from cold tank in loft in bungalow. Head thus barely 3 metres.
Works fine! And it's a great machine, so I recommend Zanussi.
Last entry here was Jan 2012.
Are there any more recent recommendations for machines working on 0.5 bar or less?
I don't think anything's changed, the manufacturers tend to stick with that sort of thing indefinitely though unfortunately I can't guarantee it. You'd need to check the specs if this is important.
NA-127VB3W01. We stay at 10th floor and I just checked the flow rate is very very bad. Sales people do not know much technically but they suggest top load machines generally. I really want to buy a front load but am unaware if this particular machine will take the low flow rate.
Some stats if it helps, (since I understand a pressure guage will be required to check) if this helps at all..
1 litre took 20 seconds to fill up with a 0.5 inch dia pipe. i.e 3 to 4 litres of water in a minute.
any help or direction would help, since a decision needs to be taken between front and top loading machines.
guide, a flow of 8 litres per minute approximates to 1 bar.
Dev: Not sure why they suggest top loading washing machines unless they have personal experience as they tend to use a lot more water – up to 60% more. I don't know if they are any more forgiving but they are likely to have the same time out protection which could potentially be worse because they need more water. Front loader or top loader?
Check the specifications on the Panasonic, most washing machines need 1Bar. However, Zanussi, Electroluc and AEG (all same company) usually require only .5 bar so you may be better off with one of those.
Hello Andy and Thanks Michael for your comment, it helps to understand the pressure at my place must be just about 0.5 bar – roughly, since litres per min and psi are different units.
Andy, thank you for making me notice that the problem will be same with Top loading and Front Loading, I believe it must be that gravity and vertical construction in top loading may be helping in lower pressure? I am not sure just a guess. But top loading suggestion has been given by two different sales person at different malls when I expressed low pressure concern in these showrooms.
Also thanks for the suggestion, will surely look at electrolux, although other two brands are not available in my country, Siemens is available. I really liked this Panasonic model so let me get a response from the technical guys at Panasonic.
Will post my proceedings here, thanks for building this community. More suggestions are most welcome.
Michael hotpoint is also not a brand available in my country. but thanks for the mention.
Excellent blog with lots of useful information. I am planning to build a new one and a half storey house and incorporate rainwater harvesting which will feed a toilet and washing machine from a header tank, but the maximum fall between the bottom of the tank and the top of the washing machine will only be about 3.5M, so am I right in thinking that equates to only 0.35 bar? We will be needing a new washer soon anyway so we now have some research to do for a suitable model.
t. If not you may need a small booster pump.
So this article was a real eye opener and am glad i found it before purchasing a washer.
people were complaining about Bosch & Siemens by extension requiring a minimum of 1 bar. Well, here we are in 2014 and their specs still want 1 bar. I tested my water flow rate and its 6 litres/min or under their 8 litres/min limit. Yep, i have an overhead tank.
Samsung specifies 0.5 bar so tank 5 metres above instead of 10.
if the Koreans can do it i don't know why Germans cannot.
So i spoke to someone that owns a 5.5 kg Bosch (manual states total wash consumption is around 40 litres) with an overhead tank around 22 feet (little over 6 metres) above. Clearly not high enough for the 1 bar pressure or the minimum that Bosch states in the manual .
He said he frequently got these low pressure errors and the work around was to open & close the tap and hit the play button and it worked fine thereafter. Presumably the play button resets the timer so more water can fill and the machine sensing it had enough water would be ready to go. The opening & closing of the tap possibly serves to trick the inlet vale into re-opening again with a momentary fall and resumption in pressure.
That he hasn't pursued getting a booster pump leads me to think the problem whilst an inconvenience isn't any more that that. There is no possibility of doing a delayed wash and it requires that the main water tap to be easily accessible. Reading faith's post, given that the pressure was low to begin with that it would be mandatory to close the tap after the wash was done to prevent the machine filling up slowly when not in use.
Andy can you please explain the following..
– why this problem does not present itself during the rinse cycles where presumably the machine would also have to let in water like at the beginning. He said he only noticed the problem at the beginning.
– The inlet valve from what i can understand requires sufficient water pressure to close. If the pressure isn't enough then how does it close once the machine senses it has enough water to start a wash or a rinse cycle. Or does the machine shut the inlet valve once it times out.
Why the rinse cycles are not affected by low pressure ?
The time out only applies at the beginning of the wash cycle. So a simple press of the play button resets it. There is no time out for the rinse cycles.
It seems odd to enforce the time out at the beginning and not for other water filling cycles as well but this is what can be deduced empirically.
The rinse cycles should still be affected by the time out. If it hasn't reached set levels before a certain time the machine decides there must be a filling fault. It may be the time limit is slightly more generous for rinses for some reason.
Gorenje manual, states the following..
Gorenje wants a minimum flow rate of 12 litres per minute compared to 8 litres for bosch/siemens.
Even though the minimum incoming water pressure is 0.5 bar, the flow rate or what the machine expects also matters.
Another possibility is that a lot of the initial water gets soaked up by the dry laundry when it first fills. Also, it's more critical on wash because if there isn't enough water in the heater may not be covered, which would be very bad.
The Gorenje 3 litres of water in 15 seconds test for between 0.5 and 0.8 MPa is useful.
"Optimum mains water pressure is 0.1 – 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds this value, install a pressure reducing valve.
which corresponds to 1-10 bar pressure. However the 5 litres per minute requirement is odd. A 1 bar minimum pressure means roughly at least 10 litres per minute. Yet the Panasonic manual states it can handle half that amount. So the timer is not going to trip if the water pressure slows down to that rate so long as the flow stays above. But what about the inlet valves. If they're spec'd for 1 bar minimum then a low pressure most of the time may not work out too well.
Whether it will function at all if the flow rate is little over 5 litres per minute but less than 1 bar. A crucial distinction.
It makes me wonder which is the more important parameter to take into consideration. The incoming water pressure or the flow rate ?
I would have thought the flow rate is just a crude method of measuring the water pressure, they are one and the same?
No, flow rate and pressure are not equivalent in the sense there is no way to derive one from the other. Flow rates are provided i would assume so that there is some easy way to measure whether enough water arrives to satisfy the timer.
My tank is at a height of little over 6 metres (20 feet) and i get a flow rate of around 6.5 litres/min. Rough correlation there between height in metres to flow rate.
The variance in flow rates stated in the panasonic & gorenje manuals is noticeable, former says 5 latter says 12 L/min with bosch/siemens falling in the middle with 8 L/min. All 3 spec a minimum incoming pressure of 1 bar.
So Panasonic's timer is little more forgiving than the germans and so on compared to Gorenje.
But you said in the article that incoming water pressure is required to close the inlet valve. I've not understood how, if the timer were reset one time to allow more water to fill that the valve closes eventually at all if the pressure stays low. If the valve does indeed close eventually then its the machine that closes the valve at some point irrespective of the water pressure.
my mistake gorenje stated 0.5 bar to 8 bar. still the flow rate of 12L/min does not correspond to 0.5 bar in my opinion. The gorenje timer will time out and give errors.
Unless I'm totally misunderstanding something that's what the flow rate is being advised for. The manufacturers know most people can't measure water pressure so they say if water pressure is 1 bar it should fill up x amount of litre jugs?
The old system by the way, when they just waited until the right amount of water went into the machine. Even if it took 10 minutes it would still work. I used to go to washing machines which took an extra 15 minutes to complete a wash cycle but still worked perfectly OK. The only reason they should be worried about very low water pressure though is if it's so low the valve doesn't shut off properly and water seeps in. This did used to happen, but rarely. I can only assume they introduced these time limits of fill to detect water pressure being so low the valve won't shut off.
