FITTING - ANGLIFIL ITALIA S.R.L.
A fitting comprises: a fitting body (10), made from aluminium and comprising at least one input portion (12) suitable for receiving a tube (2); blocking means (14) acting in conjunction with said input portion (12) to block the end of the tube (2) in said input portion (12). Said input portion (12) is a cone shape tapering towards the input aperture (12') of the tube, the taper of said input portion being between 4° and 12°. The invention further relates to moulding equipment and a method of making the fitting.
-said input portion is a cone shape tapering towards the input aperture of the tube, the taper of said input portion being between 4° and 12°.
2. Fitting according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the fitting body at said input aperture of the tube is about 0.9 mm.
3. Equipment for moulding a fitting according to claim 1 or 2, comprising a die, formed of a fixed part and a moveable part, said parts of the die forming, when positioned alongside, at least one moulding cavity suitable for receiving the aluminium in the molten state, at least one pin for making the inner figure of a first input portion of the fitting, and a telescope-pin for making the inner figure of a second input portion of the fitting, said telescope-pin being fitted with an axial through hole which an extractor, suitable for expelling the moulded piece from the die, is housed in with the possibility of axial sliding.
4. Equipment according to claim 3, wherein said telescope-pin is integral with the moveable part of the die, at least when said moveable part is moved away from the fixed part.
- making the telescope-pin slide in relation to the extractor so that said extractor causes the expulsion of the moulded piece acting from inside said moulded piece.
 The present invention relates to the fittings sector, in particular for compressed air.
 As is known compressed air fittings are currently made from brass or technopolymer .
 In brass fittings the cost of the raw material greatly influences the final cost of the product . It has been estimated that the raw material affects the final cost of a fitting by a percentage of 35% to 60%, depending on the type of fitting. The only way of recuperating costs in this sector is by changing ' the raw materials used and the technological production process, which is strictly linked to the type of raw material chosen.
 One disadvantage of brass fittings is related to the fact that such fittings must obligatorily be treated after their production to prevent the release of lead.
 Technopolymer fittings suffer rather from a number of technical limitations in particular applications. For example, over 70 °C the technopolymer goes into crisis and its mechanical characteristics lapse. Other critical applications for technopolymer fittings are environments where alcohol vapours are present (highly corrosive environments), or with exposure to solar rays. In these and other cases a fitting made entirely of brass needs to be used.
 The purpose of the present invention is to propose a fitting which has the same mechanical and application characteristics as a brass fitting (resistance to temperatures, corrosion, light etc) , and which is able to offer further advantages and benefits, such as being lead-free and having a lower production cost compared to brass fittings.
 Such purpose is achieved by a fitting according to claim 1. The" dependent claims describe preferred or advantageous embodiments of the fitting.
 -Figure 7 shows, in cross-section, an example of a die casting mould for making a fitting according to the invention.
 The fitting according to the invention comprises a fitting body 10, made entirely in aluminium. Said fitting body comprises at least one input portion 12 suitable for receiving a tube 2.
 Blocking means 14 act in conjunction with said input portion 12 to block the end of a tube 2 in said input portion 12. Said input portion 12 is a cone shape tapering towards the input aperture 12' of the tube, the taper of said input portion 12 being between 4° and 12°, preferably between 6° and 10°.
 As can be seen for example in figure 3, such taper makes it possible to make a fitting body in aluminium by moulding which, at the input aperture of the tube 12' has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the front flange 14' of the blocking means 14, suitable to be pressed by the operator to permit the extraction of the tube 2. For example, the thickness of the fitting body at said input aperture 12' is just 0.9 mm. This permits the operator to act only on the front flange 14' without being obstructed in gripping by the end of the fitting body delimiting the input aperture 12'.
 The angle chosen further permits the possibility of moulding twelve or sixteen impressions, depending on the figure, simultaneously and without jeopardising the final quality of the moulded fittings.
 In one embodiment, the inner figure of each portion of fitting 12 comprises a first portion 12a facing the input aperture 12 ' , suitable for receiving the blocking means 14, a second portion 12b, of a slightly smaller diameter than the first so as to define an annular abutment shoulder 12a 1 , for the insertion of the blocking means 14, and a third, innermost portion, of a smaller diameter than the first two and substantially equal to the outer diameter of the tube 2. Said third portion 12c is suitable for receiving the tube end 2. The second portion 12 defines a seat for an annular sealing element 20 acting in conjunction with the outer surface of the tube 2.
 The choice of aluminium as a material for making the fitting body is based on many reasons. This material has been widely used for years in the automation sector (the bodies of solenoid valves are made entirely from aluminium) the heads and liners of pneumatic actuators - so-called "cylinders"- are also made from aluminium) and it is therefore looked on kindly by end users.  Currently aluminium material is present on the market in great quantities unlike copper (basic component of brass) . This would encourage the belief that the- reference price should vary within tolerable values and above all be linked to the economic trends in the sectors it is used in.
 The specific weight of molten aluminium is 2.56-2.64 kg/dm3 while that of drawn brass is 8.43-8.73 kg/dm3. It is easy to see that for the same volume, the raw material used is more than 70% lower. Expressed in other terms, for the same quantity of raw material used to make a fitting in brass, 3.3 can be made in aluminium.
 Currently the price per kilo of brass, taking the London Metal Exchange (LME) as reference, is approximately 4.65 euro per kilo, while aluminium costs 2.0 euro a kilo, practically half. So for the same cost of raw material if three fittings can be made in brass, twenty can be made in aluminium.
 The technological manufacturing process with aluminium differs radically from that with brass. In fact, it permits use of die-casting technology with high quality aesthetic results compared to those of turned brass.
 No turning scrap is produced. Such scrap is closely connected to other processing costs which inevitably cause falls .in production and therefore costs which oscillate from 5% to 11% depending on the technological process used, for instance if hot moulding or turning of the piece.
 Thanks to its low specific weight, and to the parity of mechanical characteristics with brass, aluminium appears an ideal product for robotics where .masses are of crucial importance for the speed of movement of the robots .
 The outer geometric shape of the fitting according to the invention has been designed so that the final thicknesses of the piece equal the mechanical resistance of articles in brass; in particular, the fitting must be able to withstand the pressure of the inner components which is exerted once air is inserted in the tube.
 The taper used, depending on the type of figure, may vary from a minimum of 4° to a maximum of about 12°, preferably 6° to 10°.
 Figure 7 " shows an example of equipment 30 for obtaining the fittings according to the invention by moulding.
 The equipment - 30 comprises a die 40, formed of a fixed part 42 and a moveable part 44. Said parts of the die 40 form, when placed alongside, a plurality of moulding ' cavities 46 suitable for receiving the aluminium in a molten state to make the body of the fitting. In particular, in one embodiment, each moulding cavity 46 communicates with the outside through a first passage 48, formed by placing the two parts of the die alongside, and a second passage 50, orthogonal to the first, made in the moveable part 44 of the die 40. The first passage is suitable for receiving a pin 52 for making the inner figure of a first input portion of the fitting. The second passage 50 is suitable for receiving a telescope- pin 54 which performs a dual function: said telescope- pin 54 permits the inner figure of a second input portion of the fitting to be made moreover, said telescope-pin 54 is fitted with an axial through hole which an extractor 56 is housed in with the possibility of axial sliding. For example, said extractor 56 is supported by an extraction table 58 in such a way that the telescope-pin 54 can be moved independently of the extractor 56.
 expulsion of the piece by the extractor 56.
 As a result, the telescope-pin 54 being integral with the moveable part 44 of the die, when the latter moves away from the fixed part 42 together with the moulded piece, it slides in relation to the extractor 56, which then causes the expulsion of the piece.
 The extraction system of the pieces from the die described above, combined with the tapered shape of the fitting, means a large number of impressions, for instance twelve, can be obtained.
 In addition, thanks to the fact that the extractor 56 acts inside the moulded piece, one advantage of this production process is the total elimination of extraction marks on the outer surface of the pieces.
 After the extraction of the fitting bodies 10 from the die, such bodies are then taken back to make the inner passages which place the input portions 12 of the tubes in communication with each other or at least with a connection attachment 15 to another device.
 The cross-section in figure 4 shows an example of a fitting body 10 after it has been taken back to make the passage which connects an input portion 12 for a tube to an attachment 15.
 A comparison of the production cycle of a brass fitting and the production cycle of an. aluminium fitting will now be presented.

[0061 This process for making an aluminium fitting therefore permits various advantages compared to the production of fittings in brass: a saving of resources, energy saving during production, lower lead content in the product, lower weight and consequent reduction of consumption for packaging and transport. Moreover, there is a considerable reduction in the production costs of each single figure.
 The AEA Technology (2001) study estimates that from 1 ton of recycled aluminium, 0.93 tons of aluminium laminate are made .
 As regards energy saving, it is to be .noted that aluminium is a huge energy bank because the production of aluminium from raw materials requires a huge energy input. Waste and recycled aluminium therefore have a great intrinsic value on account of the energy stored in the material used to produce them.
 According to the "Life Cycle Inventory of the Worldwide Aluminium Industry with regard to Energy Consumption and Emissions of Greenhouse Gases" report (IAI, 2000), the production of aluminium from scrap requires only 5% of the energy (and generates only 5% of the climate altering emissions) used to produce aluminium from raw materials. The energy needed to melt aluminium scrap is merely a fraction of that needed for the production of primary aluminium.
 According to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency of the United States) , the recycling of aluminium cans can save from 60% .to 74% of the energy needed to produce them from raw material. Moreover since the atomic structure of the aluminium is not altered during the manufacturing process, the aluminium can be recycled for an indefinite number of times using only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium. This permits lower environmental impact, unlike brass.
 As regards the environmental aspects, the following considerations may be made.
 The brass industry recovers about 600, 000 tons of zinc per year. The processing of secondary zinc produces the emission of pollutants in environmental areas. The emission in the air is formed of fumes of zinc, other volatile metals, melting fumes and products generated by the incomplete combustion of other organic and inorganic components (grease, rubber, scrap plastic .etc) . Brass, once processed, requires a galvanic treatment (nickel or chrome) . If moulded, it requires a further "cleaning" process suitable for preparing the piece as regards the surface. These processes create problem areas affecting both the environment and the health and safety of workers .
 The recycling of aluminium is necessary and sensible; in fact not only does it entail advantages for consumers, local authorities and. industry, the reduction of bauxite mining is also a valuable contribution to safeguarding the environment. The aluminium fitting, once moulded, is treated with electrolytic tinning. The tinning treatment is appreciated most in the electronic and electromechanical sectors given its qualities of electric conductivity and its suitability for soldering. It is also widely used in the food industry thanks to its anodic behaviour compared to iron in such applications.
 Lastly, as regards packaging and transport, aluminium is light and resistant to impact: its high resistance: weight ratio ensures maximum protection from accidental impact during transport, adding a minimal weight to that of the packaged product. This reduces the costs of packaging and transport.
 A person skilled in the art may make modifications and variations to the embodiments of the fitting and its moulding method according to the invention, replacing elements with others functionally equivalent so as to satisfy contingent requirements while remaining within the sphere of protection of the following claims. Each of the characteristics described as belonging to a possible embodiment may be realised independently of the other -embodiments described.

Levin appears to have sizable lead on Lipton in 9th District race
Todd Spangler
WASHINGTON – Andy Levin, who is running to replace his dad, U.S. Rep. Sandy Levin, D-Royal Oak, appears to have a strong lead heading into next week's Democratic primary, according to a new automated poll of voters in the district.
EPIC-MRA of Lansing did the poll for the Free Press, surveying 730 likely and active voters in Michigan 9th Congressional District who said they plan to vote in the Aug. 7 Democratic primary or already have done so by absentee ballot. The poll was done last Wednesday and Thursday and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Levin of Bloomfield Township, who held roles in former Gov. Jennifer Granholm's administration and has a background as a union organizer, had the support of 49 percent of those surveyed compared with 26 percent for his chief rival, former state Rep. Ellen Lipton of Huntington Woods. Attorney Martin Brook was third with 3 percent support.
There was still a large number of undecided voters, with 22 percent saying they were unsure or hadn't made up their minds. When undecided respondents were prompted a second time to make a choice, however, Levin's support went to 55 percent, compared with 31 percent for Lipton and 4 percent for Brook. Ten percent remained undecided.

Michigan Primary Voter Guide: Get to know the candidates, proposals on your ballot
The 9th District includes much of southern Macomb County, including Warren, Eastpointe, St. Clair Shores and Mt. Clemens. It then stretches west into Oakland County, covering Royal Oak and Ferndale before narrowing to a band that curls through Beverly Hills, Franklin and the area north of Birmingham.
While little independent polling has been done in the district, the poll largely tracks with conventional wisdom in the race that Levin — who has drawn huge amounts of traditional Democratic support in the race and has wide name recognition — was considered the front-runner, even in a year when female candidates like Lipton have made huge gains.
Whoever wins the primary next Tuesday will be considered the likely winner in November, since the district is predominately Democratic. Businesswoman Candius Stearns is the only Republican running in that party's primary.
While the poll shows strong support for Levin, however, it offers only a snapshot of the race at a specific point in time and all polls — particularly primary polls, where turnout is typically far smaller and more erratic than general elections — at times can vary widely from actual results. Automated polls also do not include any cellphone calls and can have low response rates, though EPIC-MRA began only with numbers for voters who have participated in primary elections in the past.
The poll — looking at groups after the second questioning of undecided voters — showed majority support for Levin in both Macomb and Oakland counties as well as along racial and gender lines in the district.

Allen Craig hit a solo home run to provide the go-ahead run, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 to win the 2011 World Series four games to three in St. Louis on Friday night.
Third baseman David Freese, who was named the World Series MVP, had a two-run double in the bottom of the first inning that tied the score at 2-2. The two runs-batted-in gave Freese a postseason record of 21. Cardinals starter Chris Carpenter, pitching on three days' rest, went six innings, striking out five and walking two, while yielding six hits and allowing only two runs, both in the first inning.
Texas jumped out to a 2-0 lead after a half-inning off back-to-back, run-scoring doubles by Josh Hamilton and Michael Young. Rangers' starter Matt Harrison gave up Freese's double in the bottom of the first inning before allowing Craig's home run in the third. The Cardinals tacked on insurance runs in the fifth, when relief pitcher Scott Feldman issued a bases-loaded walk to catcher Yadier Molina, and then C.J. Wilson hit shortstop Rafael Furcal with a pitch.
St. Louis plated another run in the seventh, when Molina singled to drive in Lance Berkman. Relief pitcher Lance Lynn retired Texas in order in the eighth, and closer Jason Motte pitched a perfect ninth ining, getting David Murphy to fly out to end the game, and the series.
The World Series victory was the 11th for the Cardinals' franchise, second in Major League Baseball history only to the New York Yankees' 27 titles. Manager Tony La Russa led his third world championship team in addition to Oakland in 1989 and St. Louis in 2006.
The Cardinals clinched the series a night after winning one of the most exciting games in recent baseball history, Thursday's Game 6, when Freese's walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning extended the series to its seventh, and deciding, game. The St. Louis win marked the ninth straight time the home team has won a Game 7 of the World Series.
A wild card entry, the Cardinals made their postseason run after being 10 1/2 games out of the playoffs in August before advancing on the final day of the regular season. St. Louis withstood two elimination games against Philadelphia in the Divisional Series, before beating Milwaukee in the National League Championship Series to advance to the World Series.
Texas, which advanced to the World Series for the second year in a row, remained without a title in its 51-year history.

A hot-shot big city lawyer is interrupted mid-trial by news that his mother is dying. He flies home to a small town in Indiana to find very little is changed including his ironfisted dad who has for 30+ years served as the town's judge.
Just as we start to learn why the dad and son are estranged, dad is involved in a hit-and-run accident and accused of vehicular homicide. He finds himself being defended by his son against whom he maintains a grudge from years past.
This movie could have gone down many different paths of minimal dramatic impact or schmaltz but the director keeps the focus on the relationship between a son (Robert Downey Jr.) and the father (Robert Duvall). Downey eschews Tony Stark sarcasm. Duvall shines as the old man brought low by age and circumstances.
The small-town setting is wonderful and the performances of all the supporting players are uniformly excellent. As noted above this movie could've gone in many different directions but we get just enough about the various relationships to provide context for the main storyline without getting bogged down by blind alleys and unnecessary chatter.
Best of all you get to see Duvall deliver one of his best performances ever. Recommended.

Demarcus Cousins Lies About Being Called The N Word By Boston Celtics Fan
The Boston Globe and the MSM is running with another unconfirmed "Boston is a racist city" narrative.
So a fan allegedly called DeMarcus Cousins the n word two months ago when the Warriors were playing in Boston. Yahoo's Chris Haynes first reported this the other day after doing a podcast with Boogie.
Yahoo Sources: A fan in Boston banned two years for muttering n***** at DeMarcus Cousins during Golden State's only visit to TD Garden. More details in video link provided. https://t.co/xWpgFu0amH pic.twitter.com/JbtFOt3scZ
— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) March 29, 2019
Yea, I'll take things that never happened for $500 Alex.
First of all, Boogie Cousins is one of the most notorious shitbags in the NBA. Here's five minutes of him getting kicked out of games for being a terrible person.
This is just like the Adam Jones lie from two years ago, except Boogie waited two months to remember that he was called the n word. I'm telling you right now – it never happened. I don't need to be there to know that. If someone yells the n word that loudly in public in a NBA arena in 2019, everyone's head would immediately spin. It's an ugly word, and when people say it loud it makes a lot of people uncomfortable. If he actually did that so loudly that a NBA player could clearly here it, then the rest of the bench would've heard it too, and it would've been big news two months ago.
But of course it never happened, which was confirmed by the Celtics today:
Celtics release a statement on fan who received a 2-year ban after incident with DeMarcus Cousins. pic.twitter.com/UbRV53zvb9
— Chris Forsberg (@ChrisForsberg_) March 29, 2019
So a MINOR, got lippy with a millionaire who was so hurt by his criticisms that the NBA player felt compelled to make up a lie about being called the n word two months after it allegedly happened.
Here's my question – why is the fan banned at all? I'm pretty sick of these Russell Westbrook's of the world who think fans of the home team don't have the right to make your stay in their city as miserable as possible. That's the whole point of a home court advantage. We paid good money to be in those seats, and we reserve the right to heckle you. Your feelings don't matter. I understand there are lines that can't be crossed, and yelling the n word would certainly cross that line. But the fact of the matter is that the kid never called him the n word and he's banned for 2 years anyway.
What. A. Pussy.
Meanwhile the Boston Globe couldn't wait to put this fake news headline out hours before the Celtics released their response:
A Celtics fan has been banned through next season after yelling the n-word at Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins during a game at TD Garden, according to a report. https://t.co/uzTjCkf4sv pic.twitter.com/yBUdBrZgoU
— The Boston Globe (@BostonGlobe) March 29, 2019
"A Celtics fan has been banned through next season after yelling the n word."
Not "allegedly yelling the n word." He definitely yelled it, because shit for brains Boogie Cousins being the only person in the arena who says he heard it counts as a reliable source. The Celtics did interview other players on the Warriors, most of who are black, and none of them heard it either. It's almost as if you can't trust a guy named Boogie with a reputation for making bad decisions.
But even after the Celtics put out their press release explaining that there was no n word used, the Globe's Adam Himmelsbach was still using his blue checkmark to spread misinformation on Twitter.
New: Per sources, full details about the 2-year Garden ban issued to the Cs fan who allegedly mouthed the n-word at DeMarcus Cousins. https://t.co/Q6YWUF8HuW
— Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) March 29, 2019
Oh look, they figured out how to use the word "allegedly," now that we know that there was no use of the n word. Himmelsbach made sure to throw this one in his story too:
"In a May 2017 Red Sox game at Fenway Park, a fan directed a racial slur at Orioles outfielder Adam Jones during a game."
Not "allegedly" directed a racial slur at Adam Jones. The imaginary man DEFINITELY did it. Even though this story has been thoroughly debunked and everyone with a brain understands that Adam Jones made it up. It's not exactly rare to do something like this, just ask Jussie Smollett. There are no consequences for making up fake hate crimes.
But the fake news worked:
And the douchebags in hipster glasses were lining up to prove to the world that they're the lone non-racist Bostonian, by citing racism from 30 years ago.
Bill Russell regularly returns to the Garden and watches Celtics games. Besides that he's spot on about Russell not wanting anything to do with the city.
But wait, I totally forgot –
You can't talk about fake hate crimes if you're white.
The "Boston is a racist city" narrative is so tiring because the people who use it NEVER have any sort of data or evidence to back it up. Can you show us that Boston has more racism per capita than any other American city? Of course not. Because everything is anecdotal (Adam Jones, Bill Russell, busing riots, Charles Stuart) and happened decades ago.
But when you're the Boston Globe and you're hurting for revenue, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to get those clicks.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE YOURSELF?
My next topic is Barakamon. Barakamon was really a big surprise for me actually and seeing the comments made on this anime it was a big surprise for everyone else also. Its manga started being published in 2009 by Satsuki Yoshino. Anime aired on television in October, 2013. Barakamon consists of 12 episodes in total and the genre is slice of life.
Okay, moving on to the subject. Our main character Handa Seishu is young and a professional calligrapher like his father. He is granted a big prize in an important competition but when a famous critic defines Handa's work as 'mediocre' and 'like text-book' Handa cannot contain himself and punches critic in the face in front of everyone.
Riiiight in the kokoro…
Even though Handa thinks that he has every right to punch the old guy, the incident creates a big fuss in the calligraphy community and Handa's father sends his son off to God-knows-where, an island called Gxxx, for him to reflect upon what he did. Handa seems very unhappy at the beginning; since he has always lived in a big city and lived a comfortable life, it becomes very hard to heat up the water when he wants to take a bath, cook his own meals, having trouble finding transportation and being around 'villagers' that have an accent which is very hard to understand. When he finally arrives at the house, the first people to meet are a little girl and the villager guy. Even though Handa tries to get rid of them because he wants to 'be alone and immersed in writing' in an arrogant manner, Naru infiltrates the house constantly and continues to 'bother' Handa and actually their friendship starts to build up. When people in the village come to Handa's house during the evening to help him settle down, our city boy understands that the villagers are extremely friendly, helpful and interesting people. Different from the way he lives in Tokyo, people here communicates with each other a lot and this way Handa's character starts to change, also his calligraphy starts to improve and becomes much more 'personal'.
The other main character is Handa's little friend Naru! In the name of manga gods, I cannot even find words to decribe my love towards Naru even though i have a genuine hostility towards children xD. If I were to be given guarantee that my child would be like Naru, I wouldn't think twice and have someone's baby right away! I really liked her because she's designed in an extremely sweet way and have a very nice accent (everyone in the village talks in Kansai dialect). I should give seiyuu's credits by the way, every child and young people are voiced by child or young actors and they are extremely successful in my opinion. One point which surprised me dearly (and then I was surprised why I was surprised) was that the kids in the village were really kids! I mean, okay, kids acting like kids should be normal but most of the time the kids I see in anime or manga are acting like adults or they are adults' little versions. Both with the way they act and talk, every character is full and shines brightly in Barakamon. Especially in one of the episodes, Naru learns a couple of Kana syllables and thinks she's an adult now, saying things like "The world seems more beautiful to me now." . It was hillarious! Look at how she's so gung-ho about it:
There aren't any information about Naru's family situation, all we know is she lives with her grandfather. Although, the peaople in village live together like a big family, I cannot help but think that there is a hidden sadness behind the happy picture (because I didn't read the manga, I am not sure whether it is covered in there or not, sorry!).
There is another special character that deserves the attention: Tama. She's a middle school student and a total otaku! She aspires to be a mangaka and actually shows her work to Handa in an episode and asks for his opinion. There is another 'secret' about her; one day a relative of her hands Tama down a handful of manga . Reading them through, she encounters a 'yaoi manga' for the first time and has the 'trauma of her life'. : ) She later becomes addicted to yaoi and becomes a fujoshi, her imagination runs wild whenever she sees Handa and Hiroshi close but constantly denies liking the genre. She's a really cute and special character in my opinion.
Just a little is okay…. Maybe….
This is the overall framework of anime. There is not a specific happening in anime actually, each episode is Handa and villagers struggling away their daily lives but anime couldn't be more interesting to watch; I don't recall even a second i thought about getting bored or skipping over a scene. On the contrary, the tone of the comedy is nice and makes the audience wondering what will happen next. We are interested in watching Handa transforming from a "walking douchebag" to a person who can communicate, caring, who can say he's sorry or thankful.
And of course, for me there is a BUT. I found Handa Seishu is a bit problematic because he seems as one of the "superman(übermensch) learning the meaning of life from people he initially precluded or ridiculed". If I were to expand it with an example; the wise person in the moovies are blacks (this is a huge trope actually) and this side-character only serves a purpose of helping the white protagonist to get back on his feet. Therefore, in anime the villagers seem to solely exist for Handa's mental improvement. During first few episodes I wished that it wouldn't turn as I feared it would be but when Handa was called back to Tokyo before the competition, he went back without saying anything to anybody in village and seeing Naru's expression when she came to see Handa and couldn't find him was terribly sad. Of course I'll leave an open door here, maybe I got emotionally too attached to Naru (so I cannot bare seeing her hurt hehe ^^'), but still this trope is so over-used and I felt like it occured here again.
Overall, I really loved each and every character in the serie, Barakamon has really nice visuals and a warm story, making us wish that there would be a second season! Also it has a very good opening theme with a catchy song called Rashisa from Super Beavers, I highly recommend it.

This is the first week of the season of Advent. Throughout the season of Advent we'll be focusing on what it means to be full of expectation and anticipation during this blessed time of year. We'll also be lifting up the various weekly themes of Advent, corresponding to the lighting of the candles on the Advent wreath. This week our theme is "Hope."
I love the above quote from Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa. His tireless, selfless work to free South Africa from the evil of Apartheid is a testament to his hope. In fact, I think we would be hard pressed to find someone in the world who could speak more confidently of the power of hope.
It was Tutu's work after Apartheid ended, however, that actually inspires me even more. As the chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Tutu spearheaded efforts to help black and white South Africans come to terms with their troubled past, and find ways to move forward in unity.
There were times when lesser men would have given up. The anger, hatred and distrust between many South Africans seemed insurmountable. But Tutu has never lost hope in the power of forgiveness, and the healing, reconciling power of the Holy Spirit of Christ in God.
Hope is powerful. It can burn within us, giving us the energy and the will to keep moving forward when everything around us seems to be saying "Turn back!" When hope is lost, however, we can become stymied, stagnant and stuck.
It's no small thing that the first candle we light in the Advent wreath this week is the Candle of Hope. It is the reminder that the story of Christ's birth (the moment when God took on human form and became one of us in order to save all of us) begins with the gift of hope to the hopeless.
The arrival of Jesus is the penultimate moment in the Biblical narrative--the most vivid example of God's never-ending, never-failing love for His children and His Creation. Through Jesus, we can truly know the very heart, will and mind of God. We can also know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the powers of darkness cannot overcome the light--no matter how hard they try.
May you be filled with powerful and transformative hope during this blessed season of Advent. May you continue to seek the light in the midst of the darkness, and know with holy certainty that the One who came to dispel the darkness lives within you, goes before you, and guards the way behind you.
And may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Breakthrough Golf Announces Partnership with The Duran Group
Written by Mary Beth Lacy Mary Beth Lacy
Category: Sports News Sports News
Published: 27 September 2018 27 September 2018
Dallas, Texas - Breakthrough Golf Technology announces a strategic partnership with US sales & distribution company The Duran Group. Due to the unprecedented success of it's Stability shaft for putters, BGT and The Duran Group have partnered for expanded distribution in the US. The focus will be on course golf facilities and off course fitting retailers.
Barney Adams, CEO/Founder of BGT stated, "Our relationship with The Duran Group is further testament to the growing popularity of the Stability shaft. I'm very pleased with the success we've had on tour, where the best players in the world can benefit from our technology and now with Duran's help the Stability shaft will be available to the broader market".
For 50 years, the putter shaft has not changed; it's a simple steel pipe. Over the years, head designs for putters have evolved and gotten dramatically heavier. This has resulted in shafts that are not stable or strong enough to keep these heavier, advanced putter heads from oscillating. The Stability shaft delivers the face squarer at impact for improved accuracy and solid feel and has a lower launch for a predictable roll, resulting in better distance control.
Tony Duran, President/Founder of The Duran Group stated, "With significant advancement in putter head designs and putter grips over the past decade, it's amazing that the engine of a putter, the shaft, has been overlooked in the golf market. Breakthrough Golf Technology's Stability shaft is a giant leap forward for golfers of all skill levels, and we look forward to developing selective distribution with the best golf shops and club builders".
About Breakthrough Golf Technology
In a suburb of Dallas Texas lies a new golf shaft company born in 2014 but with 100 years of experience. The state-of-the-art facility utilizes the latest technology to develop and bring to market the finest, most precise shafts available. Founder Barney Adams, who has always had the unique ability to see what is truly missing in Golf equipment, decided to focus on the putter shafts since there had been no significant innovation for decades. A team of award-winning engineers was assembled and no shaft company on the planet delivers innovation in golf shafts like Breakthrough Golf Technology.
About The Duran Group
Headquartered in Orange County, CA, The Duran Group is the largest sales and marketing firm in golf. With established working relationships with over 6500 golf pro shop and club builder locations in the USA golf market, The Duran Group has been an integral part of the growth of over 50 golf and sports companies over the past 25 years, including the development of several new categories in golf such as plastic spikes, hybrid clubs, Golf GPS, robotic devices and single rider electric carts. The Duran Group also owns the National Golf Sales Association (NGSA), which is one of the five major associations in the Golf Industry.

Pau Cin Hau is the founder and the name of a religion followed by some Tedim and Hakha Chin in the north-western part of Burma.
Pau Cin Hau was born at Lailui Khua, in the Tedim Khuapi Uksung in 1859; and lived until 1948. He started a religious movement based on the worship of a god known as Pasian.
He also invented a script known as "tual lai" ('local script') or "zo tual lai", now called Pau Cin Hau. Today, apart from the Pau Cin Hau system for transcribing Chin languages, there is also a written language for them using the Roman alphabet.
Pau Cin Hau's religion is also known as "Laipian" ('script religion'), and Pau Cin Hau is also known as "Laipianpa" ('script religion creator').
The Pau Cin Hau alphabet was added to the Unicode Standard in June, 2014 with the release of version 7.0.

The Breeders' Cup is an annual event taking place in North America that serves as the de facto world championships of thoroughbred racing.
The location of the meeting changes year to year and it was expanded to a two-day event to accommodate a wider variety of races – the majority of which boast Grade 1 status (the American equivalent to a Group 1 Black Type event). It draws contenders from all four corners of the globe in search of multimillion dollar payoffs and horse racing immortality.
The Breeders' Cup Classic is the feature race and is run as the final contest on the second day of the Breeders' Cup. It boasts the biggest payday of any contest with a full $5,000,000 up for grabs. The lowest purse is found in the Grade 3 Breeders' Cup Marathon where the top finishers split a purse of $500,000.
Betting on the Breeders' Cup is a different experience than wagering on the typical North American day at the races and novice punters get the advantage of being able to wager on higher-end horses that tend to run more consistently than the claiming level racing on offer at most local racetracks.
European contenders and shippers from Asia and Australia become especially important in turf events. Every Breeders' Cup location must boast a turf course and either a dirt or synthetic surface. Pay particular attention to whether your selections have run their best types of races on dirt or synthetic tracks as some horses tend to prefer one over the other and the surfaces vary greatly from track to track.
Since the majority of Europeans think of thoroughbred racing as an activity that takes place on grass, it's important to remember that dirt contests tend to unfold much differently than the typical turf race.
The opening phase of a dirt race is of more importance than the opening panels of a grassy contest and on some American tracks your horse can be virtually out of the running if he does not break (come out of the starting gate) well.
Betting volume on the final day of the Breeders' Cup is the biggest volume day of the year in American thoroughbred racing and the outside exotic pools can pay off life-changing amounts of money if a few upsets come in during the final few races.
There is a legendary Pick 6 bet available on the Breeders' Cup where punters must select six winners from six races in a row. In 1999 and 2003 a single winner cashed a Pick 6 ticket at the Breeders' Cup and they took home purses of $3,100,000 and $2,700,000, respectively.
The races run annually at the Breeders' Cup happen over a Friday and a Saturday with the Friday card being considered the "lady's day out" with the Breeders' Cup Marathon being the only race on the card featuring males.
Traditionally run as the opening race of the two-day event, the Breeders' Cup Marathon is a quirky distance of 1m6f in a country where staying races are not particularly widespread. The race gained further notoriety on live television at the 2010 Breeders' Cup when jockey Calvin Borel attacked Javier Castellano, sparking a winners' circle punch-up.
The Grade 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf is a recent addition to the Breeders' Cup and was first run in 2008. It offers up a purse of $1,000,000 for two-year-old fillies going 1m on the grass.
The Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint is a 7f dash for females of all ages that pays $1,000,000 to be split amongst the top finishers. Another more recent addition to the Breeders' Cup card, it tends to attract a who's-who of American short distance females.You will find contenders aged three-years-old and up.
The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies is a contest that decides the top two-year-old female running in North America, though it is open to horses from everywhere it is run on dirt or synthetic. It was one of the original Breeders' Cup races and is run over an 8.5f distance. The race carries Grade 1 status.
The Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf is for older fillies and mares and was first run in 1999. It boasts Grade 1 status and it has been a notable scalp for European invaders on several occasions- Ouija Board notably won the race in 2004 and 2006 for Lord Derby. It pays a $2,000,000 dividend amongst the top finishers.
The Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic is considered to be the feature contest on the opening day and it boasts a $2,000,000 purse. Contested on dirt or synthetic over a 9f distance, it has been won by a number of prominent American females including Zenyatta and Personal Ensign.
On the Saturday of the Breeders' Cup, the racing opens with the $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf which goes 8f. Restricted to two-year-olds, it was first run in 2007 and achieved graded status in 2009 when it was certified as a Grade 2.
The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Sprint is a Grade 1 contest run over dirt or synthetic that effectively decides the best short-distance runner on the planet. Run over 6f, American jockey Corey Nakatani famously won it three years on the bounce with Lit De Justice, Elmhurst and Reraise.
The $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint is another recent addition that carries Grade 2 status. Run over a grassy 5f in most races, the length of the race can vary based on the specific course where the race is being run. In 2008, it was contested over 6.5f using the Hillside Turf Course at Santa Anita.
The Breeders' Cup Juvenile is considered the top target for two-year-old horses running in North America. A victory here immediately elevates a contender to the status of Kentucky Derby favourite despite this race only producing a Derby winner in 2006 with Street Sense. There is a $2,000,000 purse up for grabs and the graded status of the race helps a contenders Derby prospects.
The $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Mile is a turf contest that is run over 8f and has been dominated by the European super-mare Goldikova who has captured the race three times in a row. The purse was raised from $1,500,000 back in 2005.
The lower-profile $1,000,000 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is another 8f contest for three-year-olds and up. It was added to the card in 2007 and was awarded Grade 1 status in 2009. It is considered to be a popular destination for older American colts and geldings who never excelled at the classic distance.
The Breeders' Cup Turf is the second-largest race at the meet and has been a very popular race for European shippers and their jockeys. Its purse was raised to a whopping $3,000,000 in 2007 and it is very widely considered one of the most dynamic contests of the two-day event and it generally boasts the most diverse field.
The $5,000,000 Breeders' Cup Classic is considered to be a kingmaker (or queenmaker in one case) and a surefire way to achieve horse racing immortality. The race is run over a 10f distance and is contested on dirt or synthetic.
There are a number of prominent Grade 1 races that automatically qualify a horse to run in this race and they include the Whitney Handicap, the Goodwood Stakes and the Pacific Classic.

Q: How to refresh tabs content dynamically while switching between one tab to other in fragment? I have Activity called CourseActivity.java,in that i have 2 tabs by names UserCourses and FavouriteCourses.I have some list of courses in first tab.And it have icon,on selecting icon te respective coarse will be added to Favouritecourse list.But my problem is when i go to Favourite Course tab,the content will not update untill i refresh it or i logout and login again to app.
Here is CoarseActivity.java.This will send type of course to CourseFragment.java
//display content of tabs on touch of tabs
class CourseTabsAdapter extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

    public CourseTabsAdapter(FragmentManager fm)
    {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {
        /*
         * We use bundle to pass course listing type because, by using other
         * methods we will lose the listing type information in the fragment
         * on onResume (this calls empty constructor). For the same reason
         * interface may not work. Bundles are passed again on onResume
         */
        switch (position) {
        case 0:

A: you should override setUserVisibleHint method in your fragment and put your refreshing code in it
    @Override
    public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
       if (isVisibleToUser && isResumed()) {

Dunn, and the striking paintings and glass sculptures by Ana Maria Botero. Located in Cherry Creek for several years, the galley reopened in a much larger space at 3321 East Colfax adjacent to the historic Bluebird Theater.
The apparent emptiness of the grasslands east of artist Patricia Barry Levy's Denver home hints at intriguing tales, possible and impossible scenarios. With degrees in history and photography she has been using her computers to make images since 2005. Show attendees will see how she uses photomontages to merge reality and fantasy to tell stories that give viewers a voyage into the imagination. Viewers will be equally entertained by the geometric images of artist Lauri R. Dunn. With a BFA in Photography from Maryland Institute's College of Arts, she teaches art in Jefferson County Public Schools.
Also on display are striking paintings and glass sculptures by Ana Maria Botero. A wife, mother, architect and artist, she was born in Bogotá, Colombia, where she lived and worked as an architect until 2001 when she relocated to Florida. Moving to Colorado in 2015 she started painting. Although she still loves architecture, her hobby is now her passion. Also on display will be selected vintage images by Carleton Watkins, Nick Brandt and others. Information: 303-257-0684.
Old South Gaylord's popular gallery Arts at Denver is showing the work of four guest artists in September. The exciting show titled "American Fauves: the Wild Ones," features American Landscapes and Gardens.

Madoff Chasers Dug for Years, to No Avail
Regulators Probed at Least 8 Times Over 16 Years; Congress Starts Review of SEC Today
By Kara Scannell
Jan. 5, 2009 11:59 pm ET
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC was examined at least eight times in 16 years by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulators, who often came armed with suspicions.
SEC officials followed up on emails from a New York hedge fund that described Bernard Madoff's business practices as "highly unusual." The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the industry-run watchdog for brokerage firms, reported in 2007 that parts of the firm appeared to have no customers.
Mr. Madoff was interviewed at least twice by the SEC. But regulators never came close to uncovering the alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme that investigators now believe began in the 1970s.
The serial regulatory failures will be on display Monday when Congress holds a hearing to probe why the alleged fraud went undetected. Among the key witnesses is SEC Inspector General David Kotz, who was asked last month by the agency's chairman, Christopher Cox, to investigate the mess.
Bernard Madoff
The situation is even more awkward because SEC examiners seemed to be looking in the right places, yet still were unable to unmask the alleged scheme. For example, investigators were led astray by concerns that Mr. Madoff, now under house arrest, was placing orders for favored clients ahead of others to get a better price, a practice known as "front running." Front running isn't thought to have played a role in the firm's collapse.
Concern that the SEC lacks the expertise to keep up with fraudsters is the latest criticism of the agency, which saw the Wall Street investment banks it oversees get pummeled or vanish altogether in 2008. With Congress likely to take a hard look at how to structure oversight of financial markets, the SEC is struggling to maintain its clout.
The failure to stop Mr. Madoff also is an embarrassment for Mary Schapiro, the Finra chief who has been nominated by President-elect Barack Obama as the next SEC chairman. Finra was involved in several investigations of Mr. Madoff's firm, concluding in 2007 that it violated technical rules and failed to report certain transactions in a timely way.
Ms. Schapiro declined to comment. Mr. Cox has previously acknowledged mistakes by the SEC. The agency declined to comment.
Regulatory gaps abound in the paper trail generated by the SEC's scrutiny of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, according to a review of the documents. Many of the details haven't been reported previously.
For years, Mr. Madoff told regulators he wasn't running an investment-advisory business. By saying he instead managed accounts for hedge funds, Mr. Madoff was able to avoid regular reviews of his advisory business.
In 1992, Mr. Madoff had a brush with the SEC's enforcement division, which had sued two Florida accountants for selling unregistered securities that paid returns of 13.5% to 20%. The SEC believed at the time it had uncovered a $440 million fraud.
"We went into this thinking it could be a major catastrophe," Richard Walker, then-chief of the SEC's New York office, told The Wall Street Journal at the time.
The SEC probe turned up money that had been managed by Mr. Madoff. He said he didn't know the money had been raised illegally.
With no investors found to be harmed, the SEC concluded there was no fraud. But the scheme indicated Mr. Madoff was managing money on behalf of other people.
In 1999 and 2000, the SEC sent examiners into Mr. Madoff's firm to review its trading practices. SEC officials worried the firm wasn't properly displaying orders to others in the market, violating a trading rule. In response, Mr. Madoff outlined new procedures to address the findings.
Some outsiders were becoming suspicious. Harry Markopolos, an executive then working at a rival company, met with an official at the SEC's Boston office in 2001 to lay out his concerns about Mr. Madoff's steady returns. The same month, Barron's, a Dow Jones & Co. publication, and hedge-fund trade publication MarHedge suggested Mr. Madoff was front running for favored clients.
In 2004, the SEC's examination staff in Washington opened a limited inspection into whether the firm was front running. After finding no evidence of that, officials transferred the exam to the SEC's New York office.
In 2005, the New York staff began a broader examination, interviewing Mr. Madoff, his brother, two sons and a niece, all of whom worked at the firm. The SEC found that his investment-advisory business had 16 clients and managed $8 billion. Any firm that offers advice to more than 14 clients is required to register with the agency and undergo reviews.
Mr. Madoff "would not acknowledge" that these accounts were an investment-advisory business, the 2005 report by the New York staff said, because he received commissions from trades, not a percentage of the profits, the typical arrangement for hedge funds.
Mr. Madoff said the firm's trades were executed in foreign markets outside of U.S. trading hours. For Jan. 20, 2005, "All orders and executions took place between 2:49 a.m. and 8:57 a.m. This report supports Madoff's assertion," the SEC concluded.

2005 Letter From Markopolos to SEC Outlining Concerns
Complete Coverage: News, victims list, more
After examining customer statements made over four days in January 2005, the SEC concluded that they matched the investment strategy Mr. Madoff described. The findings "somewhat alleviated" their concerns of front running, an agency report said.
The report doesn't say whether the SEC looked at bank statements or other records that would have determined whether or not the trades took place. The examination uncovered some technical trading violations that resulted in a letter from the SEC. A predecessor to Finra conducted its own review in 2005 and found no violations.
In November 2005, SEC investigators in New York met with Mr. Markopolos, who prepared a 21-page report outlining his concerns. His conclusion was that Mr. Madoff's firm "is the world's largest Ponzi scheme." (See the report outlining Harry Markopolos' concerns).
The 2005 review and Mr. Markopolos's report prompted the SEC to open an enforcement case, a notch more serious in the SEC's world than the previous examination. "The staff is trying to ascertain whether" the allegation that Mr. Madoff "is operating a Ponzi scheme has any factual basis," according to the SEC case memo.
After sifting through documents and interviewing Mr. Madoff, the SEC concluded that neither he nor Fairfield Greenwich Group, a New York firm that funneled investors' money into the firm, told investors Mr. Madoff was making investment decisions. Fairfield revised its disclosures to investors.
The SEC also found that Mr. Madoff misled the agency in 2005 about the strategy he used for customer accounts, withheld information about the accounts and violated SEC rules by operating as an unregistered investment adviser. "The staff found no evidence of fraud," according to the SEC case memo. Mr. Madoff agreed to register his business that September, and the SEC didn't make its findings public.
Finra's full-scale examination in 2007 indicated that parts of Mr. Madoff's firm had no customers. It didn't provide an explanation of this finding. "At this point in time we are uncertain of the basis for Finra's conclusion in this regard," SEC staff wrote last month, after Mr. Madoff was arrested.
"We don't have access to that document, nor have we received any feedback from the SEC on our examinations of the Madoff broker-dealer," said Nancy Condon, a spokeswoman for Finra.

Opinion: The Racial Progress Democrats Won't Admit


London, 7 January, 2016 – Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CIGI, TSX:CIG), a global leader in commercial real estate services, today announced the acquisition of Hatton Real Estate, one of London's leading commercial property specialists, with 11 professionals. Concentrated in the "City Fringe" area of Central London, the new addition further strengthens the investment and office agency practice of Colliers International. Details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2010, Hatton Real Estate has fast become the leading property advisor in the rapidly evolving City Fringe market, or Tech City, which is seen as the epicentre of the UK's digital economy. They provide agency leasing, investment, development and tenant representation services to some of the UK's most innovative and successful companies. Over the last five years they have advised on over 100 capital transactions and during 2015 they leased nearly 1 million sq ft. The business will rebrand as Colliers International immediately and will relocate to a new HQ location in Old Street in March 2016.
"We continue to look for ways to augment our business in major markets, particularly in London, and adding a high quality and innovative team of professionals from Hatton Real Estate allows us to take our business to another level," said Tony Horrell, CEO of Colliers UK and Ireland. "The City Fringe, is now considered to be one of London's most sought after commercial and residential districts and due to Hatton Real Estate's stronghold in the area, combined with their entrepreneurial and collaborative approach they are a great fit for Colliers International," he concluded.
Colliers International has a strategic objective to significantly grow its business in the UK, both through acquisition and organically. In the last 12 months the firm has hired more than 40 new senior level recruits, focusing on expanding core business lines and recent acquisitions have included retail experts, Briant Champion Long, and Central London specialist, H2SO.
Colliers is also in expansion mode in EMEA, with the acquisition of AOS in 2014 adding strength and breadth in France, Belgium, Spain, Morocco, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland. Continued growth is planned in Europe and major markets around the world.
"I would like to welcome the fine group of professionals from Hatton Real Estate," said Chris McLernon CEO of the EMEA for Colliers. "This is just another example of Colliers International being the firm of choice for best in class people who have an enterprising culture and challenge themselves to bring new ideas to clients and exceed expectations." he concluded.


Why is this application called Pamela?
This is a bit of a special story. Back in 2004 when we started thinking about an add-on for Skype we actually did not have a name yet. In October 2004 Skype came out with the SkypeAPI that allowed external applications to communicate with Skype.
We started development on December 8, 2004 and released version 1.0 on February 2005. During that time we heard about "Pamela". This name came from the very early times at Skype. The girlfriend of a friend of a marketing person at Skype had her picture taken so that Skype could make the first screenshots for the website to explain how easy Skype works. And this user was given the name "Pamela".
Nobody really knew who she was, a Skype employee, a friend of an employee, etc. Many questions where asked but all remained unanswered. And so we thought that would be a fun name for an add-on application. Perhaps not the most serious one but definitely a name with an interesting historical background .

Q: Segmentation Fault in array of arrays depending on size I have code that loads text into an array of char arrays char var [size_x][100], if the one dimension (in this case size_x) gets above a certain threshold (around 1mln), I get a segmentation fault, which I do not understand.
As I am not that experienced with C, I was wondering if someone can enlighten me why this throws an error.
Any help is much appreciated!
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {
  int size_x = 10000; // works
  //int size_x = 1000000; // segmentation fault
  char arr[size_x][100];
  char var[] = "hello world";

  memcpy(&arr[0], &var, sizeof(var));
  printf("var: '%s'\n", arr[0]);
  return 0;
}

A: You are allocating large thing on the stack and causing stack overflow.
To allocate large things dynamically, you should use the heap (malloc() family).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main() {

Il muonio è un atomo esotico composto da un antimuone (positivo), che adempie la funzione di nucleo, e un elettrone. Venne scoperto nel 1960 Vernon W. Hughes; ad esso è stato attribuito il simbolo Mu, ma è anche rappresentato con i simboli delle particelle costituenti: μ+e−. Quest'atomo esotico ha una vita media di 2,2 μs, durante i quali può formare composti, come il cloruro di muonio (MuCl) e il muoniuro di sodio (NaMu).

A causa de fatto che la massa ridotta μ del sistema muone - elettrone è quasi uguale a quella del sistema protone - elettrone (μ ≈ ½ me), i parametri energetici del muonio sono quasi uguali a quelli di un atomo d'idrogeno e differiscono nettamente da quelli del positronio. Infatti il suo raggio di Bohr e la sua energia di ionizzazione differiscono da quelli dell'idrogeno (o del deuterio o del trizio) per meno dello 0,5%.

I fisici considerano il muonio un isotopo dell'idrogeno e, per la sua vita breve, lo usano in una variante della spettroscopia a risonanza dello spin elettronico per l'analisi delle trasformazioni chimiche e delle strutture dei composti con proprietà elettroniche potenzialmente valutabili (questa forma di risonanza dello spin elettronico è chiamata risonanza dello spin muonico o μSR). Ci sono altre forme di "risonanza dello spin muonico", per esempio la muon spin rotation, che consiste nell'introdurre un campo magnetico trasversalmente al raggio di muoni, e l'Avoided Level Crossing (ALC), chiamato anche Level Crossing Resonance (LCR). Qualcuno considera il muonio il secondo radioisotopo dell'idrogeno, dopo il trizio.
