Dana Corporation Coating Technologies Lower Emissions, Improve Engine Durability and Performance
Dana Corporation has announced that it has developed two advanced coating processes for engine bearings and piston rings that greatly improve their durability. Products with these advanced coatings will be on display at the 61st International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany, through Sept. 25 at Dana's exhibit.
Dana Corporation has announced that it has developed two advanced coating processes for engine bearings and piston rings that greatly improve their durability. Products with these advanced coatings will be on display at the 61st International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, Germany, through Sept. 25 at Dana's exhibit.
Chuck Heine, president of Technology Development at Dana, said, "Innovation often happens in the details, as these coating processes demonstrate. These processes and components are invisible to consumers, but the benefits they deliver, such as improved powertrain efficiency and reduced emissions, clearly benefit vehicle manufacturers and buyers alike."
RP100 COATING FOR ENGINE BEARINGS
Dana's RP100 coating for engine bearings utilizes a thermal spray technology, which uses a flame to uniformly deposit a proprietary coating onto connecting rods and main bearings at a very high speed. RP100 is the first use of this thermal spray coating for an engine bearing application.
Benefits include significantly improved bearing strength and wear resistance. The enhanced bearing performance also makes it possible to use less expensive materials for the crankshaft. The process can also be developed to deposit graduated coatings, shifting from a harder interior to a softer layer on the outer surface.
PCF-480 COATING FOR PISTON RINGS
Dana's PCF-480 coating for piston rings uses thermal deposition to coat piston rings with a surface that is 30 percent harder than traditional thermally coated rings. The superior coating provides a significant improvement in the wear resistance of the power-cylinder system. The coating fills a groove on the piston ring face to deliver a long-lasting seal. This, in turn, helps to significantly lower emissions by reducing the amount of lubrication oil entering the combustion chamber.
PCF-480 was developed to offset the increased wear caused by the introduction of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems in diesel engines. While EGR helps reduce emissions, it also exposes engine components, such as piston rings, to more corrosive and abrasive conditions. However, the PCF-480 coated rings can achieve wear characteristics similar to those in non-EGR engines.
"Today's consumers are demanding cleaner running, more efficient diesel vehicles," Heine added. "These coating technologies meet those expectations while also helping to improve durability."


Put together Storage Weight. Closely linked to the number of dumbbells you need that to hold is the weight which the rack needs to hold. Should you have a lot of heavier dumbbells then you will need a very good rack. Before buying any clod rack, ensure you find out their support capacity to check that you aren't overloading it. It is very easy to underestimate how much all of your hand weights weigh- ten pairs starting from 20 kg to 30 kg might weigh around 600 kg, so make certain you find a rack that is so many strong enough for your needs. Overloading a rack is dangerous, mainly because it could potentially collapse which could contain very nasty consequences taking into consideration how heavy a loaded rack is.

Not so long ago, (and not so far away) I worked in Silicon Valley. Then one day there came upon all who worked in Silicon Valley the great Dot Com DeCombustion.
And on that day my employer said to me, "Our stock price has fallen, our options are under water, and our customers have deserted us. Go therefore! Return to the land of Lake. Live henceforth in the wilderness. Live amidst the oaks and pines and beasts of the forest. But know also that a few of us shall remain here. Here, amidst the traffic jams and freeways shall we remain. And we shall sell off company assets, and cease operations."
So it was that I came to live in the Land of Lake. Where high speed internet connections are plentiful, and the air is always clean.

The story of the U.S. embargo on Cuba...and has anybody seen Fidel?
There are some serious emotions coming out of the Cuban-American community in the U.S.
There is also a lot of misinformation about the embargo reported in the media. It was never about "regime change." Instead, it was about making a point regarding the property and investments wrongfully confiscated by the Castro regime.
My friend Jorge Ponce came to the U.S. with his parents in the 1960s. This is what he wrote about the embargo:
The purpose of the U.S. embargo is was to penalize the Cuban Government for wrongly appropriating all U.S. interests in Cuba and not offering any compensation to this day. The President did not mention any compensation for these U.S. companies in his remarks.
Moreover, the President did not mention any compensation for the families of the U.S. of the Brothers-to-the Rescue pilots who were shot down in international water by Cuban MIG's in February of 1996.
And has the embargo worked? The answer is yes, as Jorge Ponce writes:
To those who claim that the embargo is a figment of someone's imagination, Cuban officials stated in September 2014 that U.S. economic sanctions had cost the island $3.9 billion in foreign trade over the past year, helping to raise the estimate of economic damage to $116.8 billion over the last 55 years. When factoring in the depreciation of the dollar against the international price of gold, the figure rises to $1.11 trillion. That's $ 1.11 trillion that the Cuban Government could not use to bankroll terrorist activities against the United States.
Another question is: where is Fidel? Has anybody seen him? That's a question going around in Miami and Havana!
Fidel's absence from the stage raises two questions:
1) Is he dead or so sick that he can't enjoy the moment? I say "enjoy the moment" because Raúl Castro's speech was not as conciliatory as President Obama. In other words, Raúl Castro sounded a lot like a man who had accomplished a goal ("lift the embargo") rather than a man who wanted a new relationship with the US.
2) Was Fidel opposed to the new agreement?
We don't know if he is dead or angry. Let's wait a few days, but Fidel's absence is rather surprising.

Haiti…in the shadow of the quake.
As I sit here at my computer in the safe comforts of my home I find the words hard to come by. What do you say when a country you love so much, when a people who have stolen your heart, when a son you long to hold and bring home have been through so much…are going through so much? We have watched CNN and other news sources basically non-stop, Anderson Cooper has become a fixture in our home, our twitter and facebook accounts have been on overdrive and our computers are being tested as we scour blogs from friends and acquaintances looking for information.
The mixtures of emotions take their toll as fear ravishes us as we wait without word to find out that our son in Haiti is okay, elation follows when we finally find out that he along with others we greatly care about are okay, then heartbreak as we think about those under the rubble and of those crying out in agony because words can't express the depth of their loss.
Why? Why did this have to happen? I can't fully answer that but I do know that my God is good and He is in control and He can make beauty from the ashes…I see this as I witness the needs of the Haitians being brought to the forefront…not just the needs from the quake but the needs they face everyday. The fact that 80% of Haitians don't have access to clean water, the unemployment rate is estimated to be around 60 percent, the literacy rate is approximately 45 percent, 80% of the population lives in abject poverty and the unemployment rate is estimated to be nearly 90 percent as half the population of Haiti earns $60 or less per year. The fact that there were 1.2 million orphans in Haiti (who know what that number will be now). The fact that we live in such comfort as there are those such as Haiti who live so much without.
What? What can we do? How can we help? It is not feasible for you and I to jump on a plane and run over there. In fact, their resources are so limited that if we were to how would they feed us and provide shelter for us when they can't provide the same things for themselves. So what do we do? We pray! Then we pray some more! Pray for the Livesays and McHouls in Port Au Prince. Pray for Lori and Licia and the others at the Rescue Center in Cazale. Pray for Pastor Henry and Mrs. Gladys and the others at Canaan. Pray for all who are in Haiti. God is able to do exceedingly above all we can ever ask or think. Then we give! Give of your time getting the word out. Give of your finances. As Americans we whine about the recession we are experiencing but we are still a blessed people. Give to organizations like Compassion who are providing for the needs of the Haitians. A $35 donation to Compassion can provide food and water to a Haitian family for a week. Buy a Help Haiti shirt in which 100% of the proceeds go directly to those in Haiti. Don't forget. As the days began to pass don't allow the everyday hub of life cause you to forget the people in Haiti that need your help and prayers. And then, if you can, adopt. As previously stated there are over 1.2 million orphans in Haiti. They need a home…could that be your home? They need a family…could that be your family? They need love…could that love come from you?
My wife directed me to this video today. It directly fits into the many conversations we have been having lately regarding our own family and our own lives. This is what Jesus looks like. Too many times we go to church and we play church but what if we actually were the church? What if we truly became the church to the world around us? What would that look like? What impact would that have? What if? What if I, what if you choose to be Christ and to be the church to those around us?
The battle rages. The war tarrying on. When will it ever end? Is victory in sight. I grow weary. My body, my mind, my soul; how they ache…tired from battle and wondering how much longer can I go on? How long until victory is obtained? Will it be obtained? Every time I think I have gained the advantage, that I have taken the higher ground, the momentum shifts swiftly and I find myself fighting again. I can't do this on my own…I need reinforcements. I need rescue! But who will rescue me? Who can rescue me? Oh yes, it is He, my Savior, The Liberating King, Jesus Christ!
Oh, how often does my life reflect the battle Paul spoke of in Romans 7.
Thanks be to God that through Jesus Christ our Lord we have the victory!
In Him we find true salvation. That's what Easter is all about. Salvation. The thing we fail to remember sometimes is that salvation comes through resurrection and resurrection only occurs through death…and death as we all know, hurts.
May we find true salvation in Jesus Christ and as we strive to follow Him may we die to self daily so we may become more like Him.
I really think it is an awesome thing to be able to see people as they begin to think beyond the norm, think beyond themselves, and dare to change…dare to be change. I think one of the best questions we can ask is "How can I make a difference; how can I create change?" It is when we allow ourselves to think this way and act upon the answers to these questions that we unleash a powerful, wild side of who we were meant to be. I truly feel that none of us were created to live just for and be about ourselves, rather to live in community; in relationship and with a desire to help, to make a difference, to create a positive change in the world and in others lives. There is something freeing; something liberating about being about giving, caring, loving others with a wild abandonment. To dare to be different; to make a difference. It has been said that we are never more like Christ than when we give ourselves away. This is an expression of love and we are called to Love God/ Love People. Pretty simple isn't it? Simple to say. sometimes harder to do.
My challenge to you…dare to be different… Dare to make a difference…Dare to create change…Ask yourself, "What can I do to create change, what can I do to make a difference?" Then, when you get the answer…do it! Don't think about it, don't over analyze it, just do it!
Don't forget to read my friend's story here!
I have deep within a passion to be a part of something bigger than myself. To be a part of change; to make a difference. One of my greatest fears is to slip into the rut of complacency and live the life of the mundane. I am more interested in living life than making a living. I want to do more than just exist. I have a burning passion to travel the world and touch, and love, and feed, and clothe, and give drink, and minister, and be ministered to by the least of these. I want to help out churches, missionaries, and brothers and sisters all around as they strive to do the same. I yearn to be a part of that kind of life. This is the thing that when I think about it or talk about it my heart begins to beat faster, and my palms begin to sweat, and mind begins to travel in a million directions.
I also want to help others to be able to do the same. I am tired of just telling people about faith and about what it looks like, and examples of it in the Bible. I want to go beyond that and mobilize people to be able to live faith, to experience faith, to own their own faith and then to go out share it with others. Don't just tell people they need to love God and love people but show them what it looks like and give them opportunities to do it.
What is your dream; your passion?
Tomorrow begins Lent in the Christian calendar. Growing up I always looked at Lent as something Catholics did and it didn't pertain to me. I mean, it was nothing more than just a religious ritual…right? But then again so is everything else we do in the name of Christianity and religion if we end up doing it out of habit or obligation. Lent, I have found out, is like any other Christian "tradition" or "ritual"; it all has to with your heart and your motives.
For 40 days we have the opportunity to give up something; to sacrifice something in the name and for the sake of Christ. Not to say, "Look at me – look what I am doing for God! What a great Christian I am!" and not to sat, "Woe is me God, look at all I am giving up for you, I hope you're taking notes!" It's a beautiful opportunity to lay aside self; to lay aside something we enjoy, something of worth to remind us of the love and sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus, The Liberating King. As we yearn and desire these things our minds are reminded of the purpose of this fast and is refocused on Christ. It is an opportunity to purposely break ourselves of comforts and pleasures to draw us back to Christ.
As we begin the season of Lent tomorrow, if you have never participated I challenge you to lay aside any pre-concieved notions and any poius opinions you may have and consider what you could give up, what you could sacrifice in honor of your King, in honor of drawing closer Christ, The Liberating King, The Lover of your soul.
If you have practiced Lent my challenge would be that you approach it with a new sense and appreciation for what it is about. Approach it as a new oportunity to search self and come to God anew. Don't approach Him out of mere tradition or ritual, approach Him with a pure and clean heart.
Let us go before the Lord with broken hearts and open ears. May we search oursleves and our lives and our motives and approach Him in sincerity and genuiness. May we use this time of Lent, these 40 days preceding Easter, to redirect our hearts, our minds, and our souls to Him!

Berner Ends ADRL Season on High Note with Shootout Finals Appearance
Posted 10/22/12 by OnAllCylinders Staff
Accustomed to final round appearances and championship runs, Pete Berner has become more familiar with first round losses as he's been off form throughout the 2012 ADRL racing season. However, for the final event of the season, fans of the Summit Racing driver saw more of the Berner they're used to.
With help from manufacturers and Pro Stock supporters, several of the Pro Stock teams organized their own Battle for the Belts Shootout. Berner went all the way to the finals in the Shootout, ending his season on a high note.
Berner started off the weekend by laying down a 4.051-second eighth-mile run on his first qualifying pass, an effort that would place him in the number-two qualifying position for the weekend. Berner looked in good shape for the Battle, where, in round one, Berner ousted Todd Hoerner with a stout 4.071. In round two, Berner laid down another 4.051 to take out the hard-hitting John Deflorian Jr. On the other side of the ladder, Ritchie Stevens had advanced to the finals, making it his second final in as many years. Stevens would go on to claim his second win as well by beating Berner on a holeshot.
"Congratulations to Ritchie on his second consecutive Battle win," Berner said. "We were making exceptional runs. We got a handle of the sweet spot of this machine. I'm not quite sure what happened to [me] in the World Finals eliminations. I lost my focus and was out of rhythm. I didn't stage well, which meant I didn't let the clutch out well. Overall though, we're very pleased with our performance this weekend. The car repeated well, which was part of the issue we battled all year.
"Before this event we changed basically everything on the car except for the body. So to come out and go straight to the number two spot was a relief for us. With the weather change on Saturday we babied it a little. We understand what it wants and we're happy with the combination, but we'll always continue to refine and further our understanding of how to use the tricks and tools of this machine.
"Many thanks to Tom Pierson and Mark Eckman for organizing our Pro Stock Battle for the Belts this year," Berner said. "We owe much gratitude to them, the other seven racers who put money up for the Shootout and our wonderful supporting manufacturers. I especially appreciate Summit's efforts and participation in this. All of our associate sponsors including Hoosier Tire, RJ Race Cars, Ram Clutches, Braswell Carburetors and Penske also helped make the Shootout a possibility. Without everyone's efforts there would have been nothing to run for, and I would not have even had the chance at the winner's circle. I know I speak for many of my fellow competitors when I say thank you to everyone who had a hand in this. We also appreciate the ADRL letting us put this race on."
"My crew, Eric and RV, did an exceptional job all year. I've never seen two guys work so hard. Nearly every time we went down the track this year we changed the setup. In testing we made a run every hour. With what we had to go through this year, these guys worked tirelessly, and they worked incredibly well together.
"Drag racing is a never-ending learning curve, and this year it seemed we learned everything the hard way. We're hoping now that there are better times ahead.

Have you ever worked with someone who seems willing to sell their soul to get a promotion or the attention of the boss? You know who I'm talking about. The person whose moral compass is spinning like as fidget widget, going round and round in a circle, never really stopping anywhere?
If you're fortunate to have no idea what I'm talking about, just watch or read the news. I promise you there will be a story about the treasure of an organization who has been embezzling money or a person being accused of sexual harassment (usually multiple accusations).
Regardless of the great work and contributions these people may or have not made to their company, their reputation is how they will be remembered. They will be judged by their personal and professional integrity.
When I was a university instructor, I used to talk a lot to my public relations and marketing students about why personal integrity matters in the workplace. In the Leadership in Marketing course, each time we studied leadership traits or did a case study about a leader, I would include a discussion about the leader's integrity and how it showed up (or didn't) in their career.
My goal was to get my students to really think about how integrity defines a person and their professional legacy. For me, I have always listened to that voice in my head, following my moral compass. This meant standing up and saying I didn't agree with a decision, even when it meant sticking my neck out.
And guess what? People took notice. I have never been seen as a yes person. I am not afraid to voice my opposition and enter into a discussion about ethics or how a decision impacts people. And sometimes this has meant cutting ties with a client or leaving a job.
When you're interviewing for a new job or promotion, what's the one thing ever employer wants? References. While these references will be asked questions about your professional capabilities, your personal integrity and reputation will also come into play. Either formally or informally.
When I was being considered for a senior communications position, little did I know that calls were being made to people I had worked with who were not my references. These were informal personal calls (I found out six years later from a person who had been called).
And a lot of the conversation (which was off the record) was about how I was as a person. How did I show up as a team player? Interact with others? And, you guessed it, my personal integrity.
Any HR professionals who are reading this are likely gasping. Wait, you can't do that. You can only make decisions based on listed references. But we all know this isn't always the case. We do this every single day when it comes to interacting with new people. We ask around, trying to find out what that person is really like.
For me, my professional resume is strong. But I truly believe much of the work I've received as a consultant, as well as employment opportunities, have been largely based on my personal integrity and reputation in the workplace. After all, there are many other public relations professionals with 20+ years experience. But my personal approach and reputation is what makes my work impactful.
I encourage you to take stock of your personal reputation and how your personal integrity shows up in your professional work. If 10 people who have worked with you were questioned about your reputation and integrity, what would they say? How will you be remembered?

Washburn Dead at 96
By Dougald MacDonald , Jan 31, 2007
outside.away.com
Bradford Washburn, one of the key figures of American mountaineering in the 20th century, died last night at a retirement home near Boston. He was 96.
Washburn did his first serious climbs in the Alps, but he made his name in Alaska, where he participated in the first ascents of Mt. Crillon, Mt. Lucania, Mt. Steele, Mt. Marcus Baker, Mt. Sanford, Mt. Bertha, Mt. Hayes, and the West Buttress of Mt. McKinley, often in the company of his wife, Barbara. Washburn also was a pioneer of the use of airplanes in Alaskan mountaineering, both for approaches and for stunning aerial photography; his highly detailed black-and-white photos have been studied by generations of climbers to pick out new routes, often with Washburn's eager assistance.
Washburn also was a devoted man of science. He directed Boston's Museum of Science from 1939 to 1980, and he led the creation of beautiful and accurate maps of Mt. McKinley, Mt. Everest, and the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. In honor of Washburn's achievements and commitment to education, the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum, slated to open in early 2008 in Golden, Colorado, has been named in his honor.
For a detailed review of Washburn's many accomplishments, please refer to Climbing No. 219, in which he received a Lifetime Achievement Golden Piton award.

I've always been athletic, and I love coaching softball for Deep Creek High School's junior varsity team. But in the spring of 2015, I couldn't ignore the pain in my right shoulder. I put up with it for a little while, but that summer, I made an appointment with SMOC. I'm so glad I did because it turned out I had a torn labrum.
When I went in to see Dr. Samuel Brown, I wasn't too surprised to hear I'd injured my right shoulder—that's my throwing arm—but he told me I'd torn my right labrum in not just one, but two different spots. The only solution was to do surgery.
Dr. Brown did my torn labrum surgery at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, which went great. The staff took good care of me, and I had no complaints or complications, and an easy recovery. I started physical therapy within the first week after surgery, just 3 or 4 days later. The first visit, post-surgery, they changed my bandages, and the pain was very manageable.
We started a regular physical therapy schedule, from the end of September (a week after my surgery), all the way until the last week of February 2016—right before softball tryouts. I saw Jennifer and Carole at the Chesapeake office. I know that the regular, intentional physical therapy is to thank for getting me back to my full mobility as I recovered from my torn labrum.
Thinking about where I was, post-surgery, to where I am now—PT is what got me back. I would've been too scared to do it myself. With SMOC's physical therapists' support and guidance, I was able to recover faster—they made corrections and helped me as I exercised. I did exercises at home as well, but they walked me through it…they called me the poster child for physical therapy!
When you set a goal, you work toward it. Mine was to be able to throw to my girls again. SMOC repaired by torn labrum and made it possible for me to say "Yes" to coaching softball. And it doesn't hurt!

Ferry Gberegbe: Court Adjourns To June 21 For Hearing
Twitter Consumer Key not defined.
By James Febebebo	News 19 June 2019	 19 June 2019	 Hits: 436
...Grants Extension Of Time To Defendants' Counsel
A Port-Harcourt High Court sitting under Justice Adolphus Enebeli has adjourned to June 21 to hear a fundamental rights suit brought by the widow of Dr. Ferry Gberegbe.
Dr. Gberegbe, who was a collation agent for Peoples Democratic Party, was allegedly shot by officers of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) at INEC Collation Centre in Bori in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State on 10th March, 2019 in this year's Governorship and House of Assembly Elections in Rivers State.
Justice Enebeli made the adjournment after he granted an application for extension of time by counsel to defendants in the case, Edet Essiene.
Counsel to the complainant, Barrister Lezina Amegua, had said that his client, Ronke, had filed a fundamental rights suit against the Nigeria Police and then Commander of SARS in Rivers State, Akin Fakorede, for the violation of the right to life of her late husband, Dr. Ferry Gberegbe, and asked that the defendants pay the sum of N800m in damages for the violation of the right to life of her late husband.
At the court's sitting on Friday, June 14, the defendants' counsel, who is a legal officer in the Nigeria Police, made his maiden appearance for the defendants in the case.
The first defendant in the suit is the Nigeria Police while the second defendant is the then Commander of SARS in Rivers State, Akin Fakorede.
Essiene told newsmen after the adjournment that he filed his response by a motion for extension of time which he said "the court… graciously granted".
On his part, Barrister Amegua, said that they would "adopt their processes and respond accordingly" at the next adjourned date.
At an earlier sitting, the court ordered that hearing notice be served on the defendants who were absent in court, and were also not represented by their counsel.
The complainant's counsel said in an earlier interview that his client filed the fundamental rights suit through a fundamental rights procedure, which is a special procedure to file a lawsuit which concerns fundamental human rights.
He said that the complainant filed the fundamental rights suit and is asking for damages because of the violation of right to life of her late husband by the defendants. Amegua had further said that justice would be done in the case.
It will be recalled that some witnesses who testified before the judicial commission of inquiry set up by Governor Nyesom Wike to investigate the immediate and remote causes of violence and killings and other related acts and matters which allegedly occurred in the state in the 2019 general elections, had alleged that the then Commander of SARS in Rivers State, Akin Fakorede, gave order for SARS operatives to open fire at the INEC Collation Centre in Bori on 10th of March, 2019 in this year's Governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.
Dr. Ferry Gberegbe, according to the witnesses, was hit by a bullet from the gunshots by SARS officers.
One witness, Hon. Thomas Bariere, told the commission that he and Dr. Ferry Gberegbe were running away from the gunshots by SARS operatives when he saw that Dr. Gberegbe was falling to the ground.
He said: "What happened was, while we were outside, myself and my late colleague, Dr. Ferry Gberegbe, by the fence, he (Dr. Ferry Gberegbe) called my attention and said, 'Boy, see Gregory, see Eric, see Emma, from that vehicle they are entering INEC office'. As all agents of PDP, we now decided to also enter into the premises and on entering the premises, I and Ferry Gberegbe rushed to the window of the collation hall and saw the DPO of Bori Police Division, one Dr. Leelee and these APC stakeholders.
"At that point, we started shouting at them that they cannot subvert the will of the people and we started singing that God has given us victory. While we were singing, one of the SARS officers was having a conversation with his principal, the Commander, Akin Fakorede, who was seated at the front of a vehicle. As soon as he (SARS officer) left the vehicle, he (SARS officer) just gave a signal and turned and two other SARS officers who were by the gate walked in. As soon as they walked in, they started giving sign for us to move back. What followed was teargas and the place became smoky and while we were trying to retreat, they started shooting. The sporadic shooting was so severe that we all had to take to our heels.
"While we were running, I saw my brother and friend, Dr. Ferry Gberegbe, going down. As soon as I got there and saw him, I shouted, 'They have shot Ferry… They have shot Ferry… That SARS has shot Ferry'. Other sympathizers who were around rushed and then they carried him and I had to run towards where his vehicle was parked and I said that they should bring his vehicle".
But Fakorede while addressing members of a joint committee from the House of Representatives on Army, Police, Human Rights and Justice on the matter said that SARS operatives did not kill Dr. Ferry Gberegbe. He had said that Dr. Gberegbe died of food poisoning.

The Jewish community has been constantly growing throughout the world. With this in mind, jdate.com was established to provide the single members of the Jewish community a way to interact with each other regardless of their location. The site's primary goal is to strengthen the traditions of the Jewish community by ensuring that these would still be practiced by future generations of Jewish children. And this is done by matching not only Jewish men and women with each other, but also by providing long-term partners for the gay and lesbian members of the community.
Even their stand on smoking and other beliefs are also verified in order for jdate.com to make sure that they are matched with the right people who would meet their needs.
In its decade-long attempt to strengthen the bonds of the Jewish community, jdate.com has successfully matched a lot of couples who are still together as of this very moment. Although majority of the members live in major metropolitan areas like New York and Los Angeles, there are also a number of members who are located in the country. Jdate.com not only caters to single Jewish people who are actively practicing the Jewish traditions, it also encourages non-practicing Jews to join. Some members are practicing the different Jewish sects such as Ashkenazi, Hassidic, and even Modern Orthodox. This is a proof of jdate.com's willingness to serve every single member of the Jewish community.
The ability to send 'flirts' to other members.
The chance to interact more intimately through private chatting or choose to interact with the rest of the community on jdate.com's internal forum.
Jdate.com has so many other features that members can enjoy at any time during their membership. However, the features listed above are the ones that members take advantage of more often than others.
The member is given the option to have his profile highlighted so that it would appear in every list of search results whenever other members are doing a search. This increase in the premium paying member's visibility gives him more options to choose from.
Members who are paying the monthly premium also have the ability to put their profiles in a spotlight that would be visible to other members whom they have chosen.
One month membership at approximately $1.3 daily or $39.99 for the whole month.
Three-month membership at around $1 daily or $89.97 for the entire 3 months.
The full six-month membership at only $0.66 daily or $119.94 that covers the entire 6 months.
Apparently, enjoying the site's features costs less when done within a span of half a year.
Why choose JDate dating site?
The third option, paying via money order, is something that not a lot of online dating sites have available. This is why jdate.com now counts its membership roster not just in hundreds but in thousands of members worldwide. Another thing that makes jdate.com such a great choice is the fact that it has a toll-free customer service hotline that is open 24/7 to answer members' queries and address their issues.

How long does it take to refresh helium-3 on the moon?
I was reading a science-fiction novel, Limit, by Frank Shätzing. It depicts a near-future with useful helium-3 fusion, and the Americans and Chinese are bumping elbows mining helium-3 on the moon, large robots scooping up and processing lunar soil. At one point, one of the characters did some calculations assuming a certain rate of population growth and a certain increasing energy demand, and decided that if the entire surface of the moon were processed it would last for 700 years. Then we would have to find another supply.
It was discussed as a non-renewable resource. But the sun is still shining, blowing out the solar wind. And whatever helium-3 is bound up on the surface, I assume it must be diffusing away and has to be continually replenished anyway. It seemed like it should be renewed eventually. But I haven't found any discussion of that.

$\begingroup$ @uhoh I certainly did. Looks like a bit of work went into it, too! $\endgroup$
Interesting question!
A quick check of Wikipedia's Helium-3 introduction says:
The abundance of helium-3 is thought to be greater on the Moon than on Earth, having been embedded in the upper layer of regolith by the solar wind over billions of years, though still lower in abundance than in the solar system's gas giants.
but let's not assume that Wikipedia is the last word on the topic.
According to NASA's Elemental and Isotopic Abundances in the Solar Wind; An invited review by Johannes Geiss:
Apollo 11              Apollo 12
flux in cm^-2 sec^-1
He4 - Flux      6.2 +/- 1.2 × 10^6     8.1 +/- 1.0 × 10^6
3300 atoms/sec/cm^2 is 0.0005 mole/sec over the Moon's surface, which is about 16,000 moles/year or about 49 kg/year.
According to the abstract of Global inventory of Helium-3 in lunar regoliths estimated by a multi-channel microwave radiometer on the Chang-E 1 lunar satellite:
The global inventory of 3He was estimated as being 6.6×10⁸ kg; 3.7×10⁸ kg for the lunar nearside and 2.9×10⁸ kg (660 million kilograms) for the lunar farside.
At a rate of 49 kg/year assuming 100% capture efficiency, it would take about 13 million years to reach a total of 6.6×10⁸ kg. A nominal solar wind velocity of order 100 km/sec for example corresponds to a helium-3 kinetic energy of about 50 eV, so we can think of the captured atoms as being "implanted" a few nanometers or more down into whatever surface it first hits, which is a fairly shallow and delicate location for a noble gas atom.
Therefore, thinking that it would only take of the order of 13 million years to replenish the Moon's helium-3 would be naive because there are several competing processes. The far higher flux of protons in the solar wind, cosmic rays, and micrometeorites all can disturb the regolith and release trapped noble gasses like helium, and atoms with escape velocity can return to space.
So the answer is probably between tens of millions and the canonical, Sagan-esque "billions" of years.
$\begingroup$ Wow! So it really is non-renewable. But speaking of gas giants, a standard maneuver in the Traveller role-playing game is to send a dedicated shuttle from your starship to refine fuel from local gas giants. They were vague about what that involved, but you know, it's just a game. A little more in the "hard" direction, they didn't want it to be as easy as in Star Wars. How long the helium-3 reserves in Jupiter would last us would be, well, I suppose a challenging question because it matters how much is accessible. $\endgroup$
$\begingroup$ All this makes me wonder how deeply into the lunar regolith has He-3 penetrated & are the reported estimates of quantities of lunar He-3 accurate, particularly given the sparsity of deep drilling data from the Moon. $\endgroup$
– Fred
$\begingroup$ @Fred yes indeed. The penetration depth will be microscopic, however there may be significant churning and/or overturn of regolith by micro- and not-so-micro meteor impacts over these timescales. It's an interesting and not-so-simple problem. $\endgroup$

It was such a pleasure to be asked to do Becca & Tom's wedding flowers. Becca had got in touch with me early in the year. Her and Tom currently live in Australia and were travelling all the way to Blake Hall in Ongar to get wed. The moment Becca messaged me I knew we loved the same flowers, colours and styles.
A month before the wedding Becca and Tom made the journey over to the U.K and we met, and pulled together all of Becca's idea, I suggested flowers that would work with her colour scheme along with natural, rustic styling, that was so pretty. It was such a delight to work on this wedding and the photos looked amazing. Becca, despite being thousands of miles away, had really picked some fab suppliers. Here's a taster of their special day.

HomeEducation and HealthUS provides additional $1 million for urgent COVID-19 assistance to Sierra Leone
US provides additional $1 million for urgent COVID-19 assistance to Sierra Leone
August 20, 2021 Abdul Rashid Thomas Education and Health 3
Sierra Leone Telegraph: 20 August 2021:
The United States government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has announced it will provide $1 million in urgent COVID-19 assistance to Sierra Leone.
The government of Sierra Leone is facing serious financial shortfall, as donor countries cut their aid budget to Sierra Leone, amid falling taxation receipts and declining export revenue.
NACOVERC – the national agency responsible for managing the pandemic prevention programme, as well as several programmes delivered by ministries and departments (MDAs) are facing huge budget cuts as the economy continues to slow down.
According to the statement released yesterday by the US government, "equitable global access to safe and effective vaccines is essential to ending the pandemic. To stop the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, people must be vaccinated. This assistance will support the Government of Sierra Leone in implementing its National Vaccine Deployment Plan and ensuring that all vaccines made available to the country through the COVAX mechanism are administered safely, effectively, and efficiently, with zero wastage."
Announcing this new funding U.S. Ambassador to Sierra Leone, David Reimer, noted that: "The impact from this assistance will be felt across the country, as communities in all 16 districts will be engaged to educate people on the importance of getting vaccinated and work to ensure that the most vulnerable amongst us are protected."
According to the statement: "This assistance from the historic American Rescue Plan builds on more than $7.2 million in direct COVID-19 assistance to Sierra Leone from the United States since the pandemic first began, mainly in the form of food security and livelihood support, emergency response activities, preventive hygiene promotion, and vaccine support.
"In addition, to end the spread of COVID-19 and prevent dangerous variants, the United States, through USAID, is contributing $4 billion to support COVAX — a global effort to provide safe and effective vaccines for 92 low- and middle-income countries. These efforts build on decades of life-saving work and U.S. leadership in tackling global health crises. Over the past 60 years, USAID has saved millions of lives from diseases such as Ebola, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and now COVID-19.
"Diseases know no borders. The U.S. is committed to partnering with Sierra Leone to end the COVID-19 pandemic, mitigate its devastating social and economic impacts, and build back a world that is even better prepared for future outbreaks," the statement reads.
Fears grow over the failing health of Sierra Leone's opposition politician Kamarainba
Invest Africa to partner with Google, KPMG, DHL, 4G Capital and Aon to support African entrepreneurs
Judging the performance of the Bio government, since taking the oath of office in 2018, from the economic, health, education, housing, investing in infrastructure projects, and promoting political and social cohesion, and above all else fulfilling his promises he made in his manifesto, hammered home by his one direction mantra, on a scale from one to ten, one can be hard pressed to point out anything that suggests he'd done what he said he will do. So a score of 4 out of 10 is not wildly off the mark. Maybe our American friends and partners would be less generous and give his government 3 points. This latest intervention by our American partners on how to promote the covid19 vaccine roll out in all parts of the country, shows their patience with the Bio government is running thin. Ambassador David Reimer, knows all too well when a government is not dilivering for its people. This is not his first posting to a man made improvised African country.
There is nothing wrong with Africa and the people that call this continent home. The problem is the political leadership. The Americans and other international financial institutions are willing partners in trying to help countries improve the standard of living of others. After 9/11 the US government realised the only ways to address the issues of mass immigration, violence and terrorism visiting their shores is to address the problem from it sources. But make no mistake is not an open ended commitment. As the Afghans recently realised.Just like the do nothing Bio government, the Kabul government was corrupt to the bone marrow. They received billions of dollars of aid money, with the promise they will invest in security and improve the standard of living of their people. After twenty years of corruption, and just like Sierra-leone under Bio, and lying to their people and their American partners, the Biden Administration told them we had enough of this circus.
Now that American support is no more forthcoming, we saw what's happening now on our TV screens. So Biden Administration was not heartless, when they pull the rug under the corrupt Alf Ghani's government. So we are in a similar situation with our international aid partners.We have received a lot of aid money to tackle covid19 but still the problem persist. We might not see Sierra Leoneans scrambling to flee our country through Lungi International Airport , and hanging on US AIR FORCE Military planes because their government lied to them, but the bottom line what we see in those faces of desprate Afghan Mothers throwing their children over the Airport perimeter fench to American Marines, we can understand. Those images are the net effects of corruption, and a government that have failed its people. So will this Bio government learn any lesson from those ugly scenes from Afghanistan and start to diliver for the people of Sierra Leone? I won't hold my breath.
Adewale John says:
So what has president Bio, his minister of health and NACOVERC been doing – if not promoting the uptake of the vaccine? Have they been waiting for foreign donor aid to fall on their laps (as usual) before they could get to work? This is shameless! Aid, aid, aid – thats all they sit and wait for. Useless president – useless government! Where is the change they promised the people of Sierra Leone? What a corrupt bunch of idlers.
I do hope they get kicked out in 2023 so we can have a government of national unity that brings the best brains from within and outside the country to govern our people. Enough is enough.
Hashim says:
Hope this too will not be spent on SUVs, and other luxury goods as the first.

Q: How do you validate a numeric value in Katalon? I'm trying to validate a numeric value in Katalon. The Verify web UI keywords in Katalon do not work.
This is the element code:

$0.09

Here's my script:
TestObject tax1TO = findTestObject(<path>)
def tax1Amount = "$0.09"

WebUI.verifyElementAttributeValue(tax1TO, 'translate', tax1Amount, GlobalVariable.G_Timeout_Tiny, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)

When running the script, I get an error message "Object has attribute 'translate' with actual value 'true' instead of expected value".
I've also tried 'text' and 'value' instead of 'translate' in the script, but Katalon told me those attributes do not exist.

A: I believe what you want to check for is one of the tag's attributes, probably "data-value" since you are looking at the "$0.09" which appears to be a formatted version of the data-value.
Try this:
TestObject tax1TO = findTestObject(<path>)
def tax1Amount = "0.085625"

WebUI.verifyElementAttributeValue(tax1TO, 'data-value', tax1Amount, GlobalVariable.G_Timeout_Tiny, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)

"P. J. O'Rourke was the funniest writer of his generation, as well as one of the smartest and most prolific. Now that he belongs to the ages, P.J. takes his rightful place along with Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, and Dorothy Parker in the Pantheon of Quote Gods."—Christopher Buckley, from his introduction
When The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations was published in 1987, P. J. O'Rourke had more entries than any living writer. And he kept writing funny stuff for another thirty-five years. Now, for the first time, P.J.'s best quips and riffs have been collected in one volume, edited by his longtime friend and award-winning magazine editor Terry McDonell. The Funny Stuff is organized by subject in alphabetical order from Agriculture to Xenophobia and on topics ranging from Government ("Giving money and power to politicians is like giving car keys and whiskey to teenage boys") to Apps ("we need a no-app app—let's call it a napp") to Fishing ("a sport invented by insects and you are the bait").
Throughout his fifty-year career—from his earliest days at the National Lampoon in the 1970s to his classic reporting for Rolling Stone in the '80s and '90s, and his post-Trump, pandemic, new media observations of recent years—P.J. produced incisive, amusing copy. Not only did he write memorable one-liners on the Founding Fathers, cobra blood, psychedelic drugs, social security, Chicken Little, elections, and coonskin caps, he also meticulously constructed riffs that built to a crescendo of hilarity and outrage and are still being quoted years later.
Armed with his singular, acerbic voice, P.J. writes with the electric verbal energy of Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson; he's just more flat-out funny. And through it all comes his clear-eyed take on politics, economics, human nature—and fun. The Funny Stuff is a book for P.J. fans to devour but also a book that will bring new readers, standing as testament to one of the truly original American writers of the last fifty years.
"P. J. O'Rourke was the funniest writer of his generation, as well as one of the smartest and most prolific. Now that he belongs to the ages, P.J. takes his rightful place along with Oscar Wilde...

For Women of Different Faiths, a Dilemma: What's Modest Dress?
Though much else separates them, religious women of Muslim, Christian and Jewish backgrounds struggle with similar issues related to their clothing. According to Devora Zlochower, an Orthodox woman who directs the Drisha Institute for Jewish Education, the Hebrew term tzniut, translated as "modesty," comes from a biblical verse stating that man should "walk humbly with God."
But while modesty can be associated with many types of behaviors, it most often is associated in Judaism with women's dress, a link Zlochower finds disturbing.
As is customary among many Orthodox women, Zlochower covers her head with a hat — though she leaves some of her hair showing, unlike her mother, who wears a wig or a hat that covers all of her hair.
Similarly, Sarah Sayeed, a Muslim who is an assistant professor at Baruch College's School of Public Affairs, wears a scarf that covers all of her hair — but not her face, as some Muslim women do.
As is traditional among Orthodox Jews, Zlochower began covering her hair when she married. Sayeed decided to wear a head scarf after her first child was born and she began to think of herself as a role model.
Zlochower and Sayeed are aware of the disagreements over how women should cover their hair — or whether they should cover it at all — but both believe it should be a woman's choice.
"The scarf can mean many things — being liberated, having a political identity or being suppressed," Sayeed says. Personally, she sees it as part of her daily dialogue with God.
Muslim women's head coverings have been widely associated with male suppression of women. It's not as well known that Christian ideas about women covering their heads while praying at church are directly associated with male dominance over women.
In the New Testament's Corinthians I, a divine hierarchy is asserted that places men subordinate to God and women subordinate to men. It goes on to imply that women should cover their heads when praying as a sign of their subordination to men, and therefore to God.
It once was common practice for Christian women to cover their heads in church, but most Christian women have abandoned this tradition over time.
According to the Rev. E. Lee Hancock, a Presbyterian minister and dean of New York City's Auburn Theological Seminary, in the 1950s and 1960s the United States thought of itself as a Christian nation. White Anglo-Saxon Protestants did not feel a need for religious expression because they assumed most people were WASPs and that they had more power than other religious groups.
In a new book, "A Perfect Fit: Clothes, Character, and the Promise of America," Jenna Weismann Joselit argues that from the 1890s to the 1930s fashion increasingly was presented as a unifying force in America: Anyone could blend in if he or she was wearing the right clothes.
However, dressing gradually became a celebration of self-expression and individualism, Joselit said at a recent panel discussion with Zlochower, Sayeed and Hancock at the Manhattan JCC.
Today, in a culture where many young women parade around in next to nothing, religious women struggle to balance modesty and aesthetics.
"Socially, there's a pendulum swinging between social control/modesty and sexual expression/degradation," Hancock says. "Hopefully it will go toward a balance."
Since feminism came into vogue, Orthodox Jewish women have grappled with a larger culture that promotes female self-expression and a religious tradition that has sought to protect men from the lures of female sexuality.
Zlochower, for her part, tries to both honor the Jewish tradition and question it.
While Zlochower and Sayeed say they express their spirituality through their dress, Hancock takes a different approach.
"Christians are all admonished to wear the law in our hearts," she says, "not in the expression of dress."
However, she adds, she envies the clarity of identity that clothes can portray in other religions.

The Wreck of the Saint-Antoine
An 18th-century maritime mishap provoked a tense Franco-Spanish standoff over who controlled Mobile Bay.
John Sledge
Illustration by Anna Thornton
We have it by the pen of a shipwright. André Pénicaut was born around 1680 in La Rochelle, France, and in 1699, joined Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville's second Louisiana voyage as a skilled carpenter. Upon arrival, he settled in Mobile (originally located upriver at 27-Mile Bluff) and traveled extensively throughout the colony. Between then and 1721 when he returned to France, he witnessed many remarkable things that he recorded in a series of journals, or annals, published much later.
A portrait of Antoine Le Moyne de Châteaugué. Painting by Jean Baptiste Jouvenet (1644-1717)
According to an entry for the year 1707, though it was actually autumn 1705, Pénicaut accompanied two dozen men commanded by Antoine Le Moyne de Châteaugué, the second-youngest of Iberville's many brothers, to ferry some flour over to Spanish Pensacola. If a presumed portrait of Châteaugué is to be believed, he had a pudgy face and the merest curling wisps of a moustache at the edges of his upper lip — he was only 22 — but he was a decisive leader, as events would soon prove.
On their return to Mobile, the French spied a vessel aground at Sand Island. Châteaugué feared it might be English and cautioned his men to be on their guard. "Approaching nearer," Pénicaut wrote, "we saw some people signaling us to help them. M. de Chateaugué had the traversier [a larger boat] close up to calling distance. Then we heard them shouting distinctly enough in French for us to have pity on them and to please come and save their lives." Châteaugué immediately steered alongside, where his men began offloading the crew into a longboat and transporting them the short distance to Dauphin Island. When the boat's prow grated onto the shelving sand, the grateful survivors staggered onto shore, where according to Pénicaut, they "kissed the ground." They were so weak that they could barely stand. Pénicaut and the others gave them food, "but only a little at a time, for fear that much would make them sick."
The distressed vessel turned out to be the Saint-Antoine, a Martinique merchantman commanded by one Capt. Maurice. Safely on shore, Maurice related what had happened. His ship was on a run from Veracruz to Havana, he said, when disaster struck off the western tip of Cuba. The ship was becalmed for 18 days, and the food supply steadily dwindled. By Pénicaut's lights, it was a morality tale. Rather than "imploring the aid of heaven," he declared, the "heathen" sailors "began to blaspheme and utter curses against God. They hurled overboard a little wooden image of St. Antoine with a stone tied to its neck." The following day, a violent storm smashed into the vessel, sweeping eight "blasphemers" overboard, snapping masts and crushing the prow. Massive waves and lashing winds drove the helpless wreck to the very mouth of Mobile Bay, where Pénicaut and company found her.
The crew rescued, Châteaugué turned his attention to salvaging the Saint-Antoine's cargo. This was a juicy prospect, given that there were at least 70,000 piasters of gold in her sand-filled hold. Capt. Maurice promised the coins to Châteaugué as a gesture of thanks, but the latter was more inclined to haul it upstream and let officials there disburse it. Even as the French scurried over the wreck in a race against the weather, two Spanish longboats each loaded with 30 armed men hove into view and pulled alongside.
News sometimes traveled surprisingly fast in the 18th century, and Pensacola's governor, Don Joseph Guzmán, decided to use the wreck of the Saint-Antoine as an opportunity to assert his authority. He and Bienville had intermittently squabbled over exactly where the dividing line between French Louisiana and Spanish Florida lay. Guzmán believed that a rhumb running down the center of Mobile Bay was the most logical boundary, whereas Bienville claimed both sides of the Bay. Since the Saint-Antoine was conveniently lodged on the eastern side of Sand Island, Guzmán demanded salvage rights.
It must have been a tense scene, 60 Spaniards and two dozen Frenchmen seated in their bobbing longboats in the Gulf sun, staring at one another and wondering what would happen next. Outnumbered or not, Châteaugué was unintimidated, held his position and stated in no uncertain terms that all of Mobile Bay belonged to the French. He denied the Spanish any right of salvage and suggested they leave at once. It was a dangerous bluff. The Spanish might have won a fight at the wreck, but they did not desire a shooting war over the matter. Pensacola was too poor and needed French Mobile's help if it was to survive, as indeed Mobile needed Pensacola's. Sanity prevailed, and the Spanish withdrew. There was no longer any dispute about who controlled Mobile Bay. From Bon Secour to Fort Louis, and Ecor Rouge to Dauphin Island, all of its waters were under the fleur-de-lis.
