Create missing anti-radiation lining on turret of T-62
tomatosoup posted a topic in Cold War
So i have been wanting to build a T-62M, but since the only aftermarket kit is out of production, I have settled with getting the T-62 BDD from trumpeter and found some anti-radiation lining photo-etch fasteners. I am unsure how I should approach it, I was thinking that spreading and flattening milllitput on a flat surface first and then putting it on the model to cut it into the correct shape, and punch some correct diameter imprints for the fasteners would work, but I am not 100% sure this is the best way, or if there is a better epoxy to use than standard milliput. here it you can see what it looks like, it should also have a subtle mesh like texture

T-62 mod 1972 - Trumpeter 1/35
Kris B posted a topic in Work in Progress - Armour
Hi All. Usually Im doing two projects parallel - one in painting stage one in build. So if I'm feed up with one type of work can switch to other. So this time something unusual in my warkshop - modern tank. I've got few more in my stash, so definitely not the last one. This is the "hero". First time I've used the Master Club metal tracks. My impression? I his set wasn't super. Links won't fit together and every single one I have to file to make them fit. Pins are fiddle and carpet monster was happy to eat few of them. I still have few different sets so not saying that Friulmodel are better, but with this set I think I build the Friulmodel quicker. Moving further. Rear fuel barrels not making "wow" effect ... ... so decided to remove one of the brackets. Also reproduced the fuel lines for fender tanks. This is how it looks now. Not decided yet, maybe I leave one barrel on?
The ultimate evolution? Trumpeter 1/35 T-62
modelling minion posted a topic in T-55 STGB
After having been given permission by our esteemed and generous hosts I am going to build what has been described as the ultimate evolution of the basic T-54/55 design, the T-62. Now I know that this is not a view held by all and I left it up to the hosts to decide and they have allowed it to go ahead. The kit I will be using is the recent Trumpeter T-62 Mod.1975 and it looks like a very nice and well detailed kit too and is considered to be the best 1/35 T-62 available, not that there is a lot of competition! So lets have a look at the box and whats inside it, starting with the box art; And what is inside when you remove the lid; Ooh lots of goodies, lets have a look at some. We will start with the tracks as you get two options, either the old style vinyl single length tracks or individual links: Now I'm no expert (far from it) but those vinyl tracks don't look that bad close up; I am most likely going to go down the individual link route but it's nice to know that I have a usable fall back option if time gets away from me. You also get the option of a metal main gun barrel and some etched grills and twisted copper wire for the tow rope; Not bad as standard with a kit. You get a nice representation of a DShk 12.7mm AA gun, no respecting Soviet tank should be seen without one; You get a set of crew figures that @Stix would do a far better job of then me; And a nice set of individual weapons for them, though I'm not sure if they are too modern for the era; And the colour paint guide which gives you the Soviet version of early Ford cars, any colour you want as long as its green; I will have a look in my stash as I'm sure I might have some more interesting markings (not hard) somewhere. I hope to be able to make a cursory start on her soon. Thanks for looking in and as usual all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig.
Best Soviet T-62 in Braille scale

In January the new tool (some 49 parts) T-62 MBT by Trumpeter (#07146) has appeared on the market. Presumably it's miles ahead of the vintage ESCI/Italeri one and the crude ACE short-run. But has anybody of you already touched it in the reality? What is your opinion? Can we call it THE definitive one or should we wait for the Modelcollect #72021 new tool announced at the end of 2017?

T-62 mod 1975 (mod.1962+KTD2) - 1:35 Trumpeter
Julien posted a topic in Kits
T-62 mod 1975 (mod.1962+KTD2) 1:35 Trumpeter The T-62 was produced between 1961 and 1975. It became a standard tank in the Soviet arsenal, partly replacing the T-55, although that tank continued to be manufactured in the Soviet Union and elsewhere after T-62 production was halted. Its 115 mm gun was the first smoothbore tank gun in use. It could fire kinetic penetrator rounds, a new larger turret and ring, which in itself required a re-designed larger hull. Additional armour was incorporated in the re-design, but this was concentrated in the upper hull at the expense of the lower hull and roof area. Once in service the tank underwent a seemingly endless upgrade process, of which the Mod.1975 was a T-62 Obr.1972 equipped with a KTD-1 or KTD-2 laser rangefinder in an armoured box over the main armament. It also has concealed bolts around the commander's cupola. The kit represents a MOD 1975 fitted with a KTD-2 laser rangefinder. The Kit Yet another T-62 release from Trumpeter, they really are getting their moneys worth from the moulds. The boxart shows a vehicle in what is assumed to be Afghanistan with Mujahideen? figures (back when they were the good guys). Inside for the main tank there are eight sprues of light grey styrene, separate lower hull, seven of brown styrene (track links), four of black styrene, one of clear, two sheets of etched brass, a turned aluminium barrel, plus a length of copper wire. For the figures there is one main sheet of grey plastic, and three sheets of a softer black plastic for the figures weapons. All the parts are beautifully moulded with great detail and surface texture. There is no sign of flash or other imperfections, but there are a lot of moulding pips that need to be removed and will add to the cleaning up required. Construction start with the wheels. 5 pairs of road wheels are made up for each side. The rubber parts of the wheels being supplied in black plastic. The individual wheels are made up then paired with a hub going on the outer one. Two drive sprockets and two idler wheels are also made up. The modeller then moves to the lower hull, four plates each side are added then the rear of the hull is added. The suspension components are added along with the pate at the front of the tank. Once the suspension parts are in the wheels can be added. The tracks are up next and these are individual links which are cut from the sprues and clicked together. Unfortunately the instructions dont tell you how many are needed per side, so itll be a matter of trial and error. With the tracks fitted the upper hull requires some holes to be drilled out before being fitted out with periscopes, towing hitches, turret ring rails, headlight and other small fittings. The engine deck hatches are now assembled, consisting of a mixture of styrene with etched grilles. The upper hull deck and engine deck sections are then glued into position. The two track guards are then fitted out with the various storage boxes and spare fuel tanks, as well as the front and rear mudguards, the completed items are then fitted to the hull. The two rear mounted fuel drums, each made from six parts and are fitted to the rear bulkhead. The searchlight and hatches are now assembled; the hatches have detail on both the internal and external faces. The upper turret section needs some hole being opened up before going any further. Once theyre done the vision blocks are fitted from the inside, whilst on the outside the hatch rings and side mounted hand rails are fitted, along with the aerial base. The hatch assemblies are then glued into position, followed by the commanders sight, searchlight, periscopes and numerous other fittings. The upper and lower turret sections are then joined and the snorkel assembly attached to the rear. Two more searchlights are then attached to the turret roof, followed by the ten part thermal sight. The barrel is then assembled, provided in three sections, with each section moulded in two halves. If you dont want to use this method, Trumpeter have kindly provided a metal barrel which just need the muzzle gluing on to the end. Whichever you use the barrel is then slid through the mantlet cover and onto the turret. The heavy AA machine gun is made up from nine parts and when complete can be fitted to the commanders hatch ring. The completed turret is then fitted to the hull completing the model. There is only one decal option, that of Tank 720 in overall Russian Tank Green or similar. Figures Four figures are provided in typical Afghan dress. There is one sprue of AK-47s with and with out stocks, one sprue with two Lee Enfield rifles, and lastly a small sprue with a soviet PPSh-41. The figures are well sculpted and the weapons excellent. Markings A small sheet of decals is provided, however placement is not referenced on the instructions! Conclusion Yes, Trumpeter have released another T-62 variant. At least you cant say you havent got a choice if Russian tanks are your thing. My review colleague has built a few of these and tells me he havent ever had a problem with the build. If you like tanks then you need at least one of these in your collection, highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of UK Distributors for

The Model Yet another T-62 release from Trumpeter, they really are getting their money's worth from the moulds. The boxart shows a vehicle on the road during a parade in the standard Indian colour scheme for this type. Inside there are ten sprues of light grey styrene, separate lower hull, seven of brown styrene, five of black styrene, one of clear, a sprue of a rubbery material, a bit like Dragons DS material, three sheets of etched brass, a turned alluminium barrel, plus a length of copper wire and decal sheet.

There is no sign of flash or other imperfections, but there are a lot of moulding pips that need to be removed and will add to the cleaning up required. Construction begins with the road wheels: each wheel consisting of the wheel and separate tyre. The wheels are then paired up, the outside wheel being fitted with a central hub part. The idlers are of similar construction, whilst the sprockets are made up from three parts. The rear bulkhead is then fitted to the lower hull and detailed with a spare length of track and the four rear lights. The modeller is given a choice of lower glacis plate, which is then fitted to the lower hull, along with the torsion bar suspension, onto which each pair of wheels is attached, and gear covers onto which the sprockets are fitted.

There are three standing, and one squatting, AK in hand. Whilst the figures are in normal styrene, their helmets are in the DS style material, which look quite realistic. There is also a sprue of weapons, four AK's with separate magazines, two with folded stocks and two with extend stocks. Conclusion Yes, Trumpeter have release4d another T-62 variant. At least you can't say you haven't got a choice if Russian tanks are you thing.

Estratti dall'omonimo saggio che sarà pubblicato in New Forms of Workers Organization and Struggles: Autonomous Labor Responses in Time of Crisis (a cura di Dario Azzelini e Michael Kraft, Brill 2015).
Monday, 20 January 2014, it's early in the morning. A white van is parked outside the main gate of the warehouses of Granarolo – the dairy farming plant in Bologna – which has been the epicentre of a hard struggle for labour rights for the last months. It is the same van which had been parked outside the IKEA storage in Piacenza to support IKEA workers on strike. After six intense months of picket-lines and blockades the IKEA worker won. Since, the white van has become a sort of talisman for the Granarolo and Cogefrin warehouse workers.
It all began with workers opposing a 35 per cent pay cut, and them publically speaking out. For this reason 51 workers were then fired because they went on strike for better wages and labour conditions in early May. All of them had been employed by Sgb, Service Group Bologna – a consortium of cooperatives . Sgb manages sub-contracted labourers in Granarolo and Cogefrin warehouses. The latterdeals with plastics imports and exports between the Middle East and Europe.
From January 20 – 25, Granarolo and Cogefrin warehouse workers organised several on-off blockades together with students, precarious workers and social movement activists who joined the picket-lines. They demanded the reinstatement of the fired workers. The police used violence to interrupt the blockades three times. The first time was on the first evening on Monday, Jan. 20. The blockade had lasted an entire day, but at the end of the day the police managed to clear off the picket-line despite nearly two hours of resistance. On Thursday Jan. 23, police violently broke up a blockade which had been going on for at least five hours to ensure the transit of goods.
. Two workers were hospitalized, five others ended up in police custody, with two of them getting arrested without any evidence. The day after, on Jan. Fri. 24,, police intervened the third and last time. In heavy rain, hundreds of workers, students, precarious workers and activists, decided to block the plant entrance to the bitter end as a sort of revenge for the violence and the arrests of the previous day. This time, the police dragged people away – one by one – from the picket line. Then on, Jan. 25, a demonstration held outside the court demanded the immediate release of the two workers who had been arrested the previous day. This demonstration and the precious job of the lawyer forced the release of the workers.
According to one worker this was a "week of passion" which aptly became as the title of a video posted on YouTube. These very intense days of struggles split the city of Bologna into opposing sides: force against force. On the one hand, Sgb with its Granarolo and Cogefrin warehouses received the support of local and national political institutions, and the main trade union organisations. These then launched a coordinated attack against the workers on strike via political, media and judiciary channels. On the other hand, workers could count on support from social centres, political collectives, students, precarious workers, workers from other industries including public employees of the local administrations, and even from some novelists who made their support for the strike public. Everybody on both sides knew that the dispute was crucial. The stakes were high because the coop system which manages subcontracted work in the industry represents the dominant paradigm for the overall organisation of precarious work in Italy at present. Thus, the city of Bologna split along a class line.
When we look at this "week of passion" we can easily see that it was the peak of an extraordinary five-year long cycle of struggle within the logistics industry. On this basis, the paper analyses the forces and the actors involved in this cycle of struggle, the labour organisation, the social composition of the struggles, and the evidencing of the rise of an autonomous political subjectivity able to relate with "its" trade union in a pragmatic manner that we could define as "the workers' use of the union." To conclude, this paper will try to highlight the political lessons emerging from these struggles.
In logistics warehouses located in Emilia Romagna – the geographical focus of this analysis – the majority of workers are from North African countries such as Egypt, Morocco, or Tunisia. The others are from Eastern Europe, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan and East Africa. North Africans and Eastern Europeans tend to be recruited in their home countries by recruitment agencies acting within a legislative vacuum, which guarantees them large profit margins. South Asian workers were able to migrate to Italy under the Flows Decrees and its programme for seasonal workers. On the contrary, Sub-Saharan and East African workers entered Italy "illegally" by crossing the Mediterranean Sea with private boats often owned by mafia groups. The majority of these workers are male. Only very few women are employed in the industry. The average age tends to be between 25 and 35 years of age. Some of them are graduates or even enrolled in Italian universities. "Second generation" migrants who were born and/or raised in Italy can be found as well.
As the Bossi-Fini law established the tie between the labour contract and the right to stay in Italy back in 2002, there is a strong link between one's employment contract and the residence permit. The law tends to favour the establishment of a systemic process of racialization on the basis of the hierarchical construction of the labour market. In so doing, it establishes the subordination of certain social groups by others – a process eloquently described by Frantz Fanon. As a consequence, in Europe as much as in Italy – more generally under capitalism- migrants are not excluded from the labour market but insteadfully included in the lowest strata where labour protection mechanisms and rights are either scarce or do not exist at all, where wages are extremely low, and where blackmailing practices are prevalent. Thus, the migrant labour composition intertwines with the European system of control and management of labour mobility. Migrants' life and labour experiences, hence, are marked by constant blackmail, marginalisation and heavy forms of work exploitation.
As a matter of fact, when migration became a mass phenomenon in Italy in the 1990s, some industries saw labour protection, workers' rights and wages rapidly decrease as a result. Today the average salary in the logistics industry is equal to approximately a third of what was paid in the 1990s. Back then it was 3.5 to 4.0 million liras – i.e. around 2,000 Euros – now it is around 700 to 800 Euros a month.
"In warehouses the 'corporal' used to say to Moroccans that they are better than Tunisians, to Tunisians that they are better than Egyptians or Romanians. The objective is to split up workers, putting a group against the other: 'if you behave well, I'll pay you more; do not join the struggles, etc.'".
"We have met Indian and Chinese workers, we have recognized some differences to us Arabs, but what I said to my fellow workers was: 'just forget where we come from, here we are all workers and all of us are exploited. This is the only thing we have to think about'".
Similarly, a Pakistani worker employed at the Granarolo plant in Bologna declared: "Finally, all of us understood that bosses could exploit us more because we were letting them put us up against one another." These statements describe the processes of workers' unification taking place within the struggles. These stand in explicit contrast to the capitalist command which tends to fragment the workforce. In a certain sense, this reveals how racial differentiation can also work for the production of the common.
"Initially our major problem was to unite the warehouse workers and to overcome the fear of wage retaliation or that of losing the job," Mohamed Arafat, a TNT warehouse worker from Piacenza explains. Thus, it was within the struggles that workers managed to open up an incredible space for political subjectivation, or better, a space for autonomous subjectivation. This transformation of a subjected subjectivity into an autonomous and resistant subjectivity is capable of overthrowing capitalist command and interrupting the process of capital accumulation. In fact, it was especially when workers managed to materially damage the companies that they dared more and found the courage to ask for better wages and labour conditions. The capacity of affection and diffusion of alternative political subjectivations could bloom in these struggles.
In one after the other warehouses which had been the workers managed to win their demands – the right to unionise, the application of the CCNL, the reinstatement of the suspended and fired colleagues, the settlement of never recognised overdue pay. Workers always reminded themselves that it was through struggle that "we got dignity for our jobs, which is even more important than money." As a worker highlighted during a meeting, in Arabic "dignity" is an expression standing both for resistance and liberation from exploitation. It has, in fact, the same root as the word 'resistance', 'insurrection', 'revolt'. Here, the role of the Arab uprisings must be acknowledged as a factor in the political and autonomous subjectivation of these workers. In this sense the processes of resistant subjectivation within these struggles have to be understood as a wider and more complex terrain of conflict.
"After thirty years of government Mubarak was finally overthrown. While nobody before seemed to have ever thought it would be possible, in the same way nobody ever expected that a struggle at TNT in Piacenza could take place and be victorious".
Within these struggles, the production of an autonomous and resistant subjectivity included a mix of different experiences that workers brought in from their home countries and from the contemporary just-in-time mode of production itself. Tired of the symbolic tactics imposed by the confederation of trade unions –"for them the only way to fight is standing up in front of the warehouses gates waving flags" – the workers chose instead to effectively damage the corporations. Since the beginning, this posed a "new" modality of struggle. They identified the enemy as "the bosses" and pointed out the weakest moment in the circulation of goods. After this, they were finally ready "to harm the bosses" – a claim continuously repeated by the workers themselves. Thus, the interruption of capitalist valorisation process became the main feature (and the actual weapon) of the conflicts in the logistics sector. In this way, the workers managed to not only cause huge economic damage, but also afflict the image of the corporations. Here, it is important to highlight that the workers gained the "skill" of identifying the most effective form of struggle on the job where they could accumulate technical knowledge about the cycle of production and distribution. Due to such knowledge, workers blockaded the warehouses exactly at the time when the largest amount of goods had to be delivered. And the mobility of goods soon became the mobility of conflict! The weeks long so called "cappuccino strike" at the Granarolo plant, for example, blocked about forty trucks which supply cafés and small businesses around Bologna with milk in the early hours of the morning.
However, the most significant development in terms of subjectivity production is the emergence of explicit political and militant subjectivities. Strike after strike, picket line after pickeline, has brought forth a significant "expertise" in managing the different moments of the struggle. This is particularly important since, these struggles have been the first political experience for the large majority of workers involved in them. Moreover, workers alongside students and precarious workers who joined the picket lines at Piacenza and Bologna have produced new forms of life through social interactions during these struggles, provoking a radical change in the life of these young migrants. In this sense, the words of a migrant worker involved in the struggle against Granarolo assume paradigmatic value: "I've been working in Italy for five years waiting for the residence permit with the idea of going to another country. As foreign workers we are extremely exploited here. But after these months of struggles, despite now having gained the residence card, I have decided that I want to stay in Bologna. I have found brothers". Hence, these struggles have not only managed to successfully interrupt the capitalist valorisation process, but they have also proved to be a fertile ground for the "conflictual cooperation" among logistics workers, precarious workers, and students, who, although starting from different daily experiences, all fight against their exploitation and precarity imposed by the coop system.
A couple of weeks later, this community-based process led workers to self-organise at their workplace. However, they quickly realised that self-organisation unfortunately was not enough. In order to effectively bargain with the company they needed trade union advocacy. Therefore, they looked for a union able to support a "real struggle harming bosses".
This case highlights the specific function which this grassroots union takes up on behalf of the workers. Migrant workers are sceptical about mainstream trade unions, they see them as unable or unwilling to take charge of the workers' demands, and sometimes explicitly collude with the bosses and the coop system. For these reasons, workers chose SI Cobas, the union which would best met their needs: "a union that supports us in our struggles, struggles made up by strikes and picket lines concretely affecting the interests of the company owners". In other words, SI Cobas is a union working on behalf of workers, that is to say a union where decisions are directly taken by workers, and not vice versa. On the contrary, mainstream trade unions are perceived as service offices, useful only for filling out forms and procedures (such as the renewal of the residence permit, family reunification) but surely not as political actors struggling for labour rights. Thus, workers' mindful and active rejection of passive mainstream trade unions can be said to have been a major feature of the logistics struggles. As a consequence, we can speak of a general unrepresentability of the workers. This expresses itself above all in workers' use of the union as a flexible infrastructure in support of workers' autonomy.
Both SI Cobas in Emilia-Romagna and the ADL Cobas (its sister union) in Veneto have demonstrated their willingness and ability in following the initiative of workers themselves. Since 2011 onwards they have rapidly expanded into many warehouses, opening up spaces for new workers' organisations. During the blockades and on picket lines, workers, union delegates and political activists, openly discuss decisions in assemblies, with everyone actively participating in the fight. Practices, slogans and the timing of the blockades are collectively decided. The decisions are based on workers' knowledge of the production and distribution cycle and on the availability of forces. SI Cobas has demonstrated a fairly high degree of openness to come into contact with other political practices, specifically those typical of social movements. The result is a multifarious cooperation. We have witnessed it during the so called "week of passion" at the Granarolo plant where each different actor contributed to the functioning of a well-organized and efficient blockade. This assemblage was able to constantly move from one level to another, in a very fluid manner. As a matter of fact, the struggle was able to move from the level of bargaining to the production of material for legal defence; from the level of blockades and picket lines to that of a boycott; from the level of cyber guerrilla Anonymous attacked and brought down the Granarolo website several times – to that of autonomous communication through national newspapers, social networks and self-managed websites. In so doing, they broke the initial veil of silence of the mainstream media, forcing them to no longer ignore the struggle.

 The law, introduced in 2002, amending and restricting the national legislation on immigration and asylum, states that the residence permit will only be granted to a foreign worker who already has an employment contract. If the migrant worker loses his job, he will have to return to his home country or, on the contrary, he will be subject to processes of expulsion, previous a period of internment in CIE (Centres for Identification and Expulsion).

 The history of migration into Italy is quite different from some European countries such as France or the UK where migration has historically been connected to the decolonisation processes in the aftermath of World War II. In Italy, in fact, migration is especially connected to globalisation.

This can be true. If she's got coverage through her business then you don't need to insure the model. I've shipped to international customers through our business who've requested the same thing. Of course I'd make sure you have a very clear chain of communication where she's stating she doesn't want insurance, etc, and if there was damage she would have to totally deal with it from her end. I'd make sure you take lots of pics of the models getting packed and the box prior to shipping too if you decide to go through with the transaction.
Just make sure the buyer knows that there's probably no tracking with the cheaper CP option so once it's gone it's in the wind till it gets there.

Home > Eastern Africa > Somalia
The land of the Somali people, much of it arid and inhospitable, has for thousands of years been close to civilization and international trade. To the north, just across the Gulf of Aden, is Saba, the land of the legendary Queen of Sheba and the earliest part of Arabia to prosper. To the west is Ethiopia, where the kingdom of Aksum is established by the 5th century BC.
Situated on the so-called Horn of Africa, jutting out into the India Ocean, Somalia's harbours are natural ports of call for traders sailing to and from India. So the coastline of the region is much visited by foreigners, in particular Arabs and Persians. But in the interior the Somali are left to their own devices.
Eastern Africa, Somalia

The invention relates to a method of detecting possible theft of electricity and an detection device for detecting tampering with an electricity network. In an embodiment an electricity meter is provided that is adapted to detect tampering.
Theft of electricity involves tapping current from the electricity network while avoiding that the current is registered by the electricity meter that is used to bill the user. Often this is done by connecting power cables to the feed into a house in front of the electricity meter, or by tampering with the operation of the electricity meter itself. Currently, detection of this form of theft is cumbersome. Usually it involves visual inspection by a human inspector.
Technical alternatives involve the use of electricity meters that are protected against tampering. US patent 6,232,886 discloses an electricity meter with a movement detector for example. However, movement detection does not provide for detection of forms of theft wherein power lines are tapped at some distance from the electricity meter.
Another solution involves measuring current supply at a distribution point and comparing the cumulative measured current with registered current use at homes connected to the distribution point. With conventional electricity meters such a measurement involves measured current use over an extended period of time. But even if all users have accepted more modem electricity meters that can be read off at a distance almost instantaneously, such a measurement still does not tell where the current theft occurs.
US2004/082203 discloses the use of detection of reflections from power lines to detect taps. The document proposes to place reflection measurement circuitry (a TDR/FDR block) in power line communication devices (PLC devices). Test signals including spikes or sine signals are sent during silent periods.
Among others, it is an object to provide for a technique that makes it possible to detect theft of electricity even if the electricity meter is not tampered with.
An electricity meter circuit according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 9 are provided. The meter circuit may be an integrated circuit for use in an electricity meter for example, or a circuit board for use in such a meter, or a complete meter. The meter circuit provides for detection of reflection of signals transmitted from the electricity meter over a power line. By comparing the reflections with a reference changes in connections to the power lines in the environment of the meter can be detected from the meter. This makes it possible to automatically detect tampering at a distance from the meter. The electricity meter may send a message to a data gathering unit of the electricity company when tampering is detected in this way, for example.
In an embodiment the reference signal may be stored in a memory. It may obtained by storing a reflection that was received when it may be assumed that no tampering has taken place, for example in the presence of an inspector or upon installation of the meter.
The time delay of the first reflection due to tampering indicates the distance between the meter and the position of tampering. A distance window is applied to detection of the reflections during tampering detection. In this way false detections due to changes further away from the meter can be eliminated.
In an embodiment the meter circuit keeps a count of repeated reflection measurements in which deviations have been detected and an alarm is generated only if the count exceeds a threshold. In this way alarms due temporary changes or false alarms can be reduced. A count of detections of repeated reflection measurements performed during a period of predetermined length may be used.
In an embodiment the meter circuit comprises a transponder for communicating with the electricity company, for example to report electricity use. In a further embodiment messages received via the transponder are used to trigger the detection of reflections. In this way testing in different electricity meters can be coordinated.
In an embodiment reflections of signals transmitted by the transponder may be used to detect tampering. Thus, tampering detection can be masked and/or no additional signal generator is needed. In another embodiment a separate signal generator may be included in the circuit. In this way the signals can be optimized for detection of reflections. A system with a plurality of electricity meters of this type may be realized, with a common information gathering unit to receive and record alarm signals from the plurality of electricity meters.
Fig. 1 shows part of an electricity network. The network comprises an electricity meter 10, a power cable 12 and an information gathering unit 14. Local loads 16 are coupled to power cable 12 via electricity meter 10. In addition an illegal tap 18 coupled to power cable is shown. It should be emphasized that only part of the network is shown. Typically, the network also comprises generators, transformers, circuit breakers etc (not shown). Near electricity meter 10, a master circuit breaker 19a and circuit breakers 19b of various groups of power outlets may be provided.
Fig. 1a shows electricity meter 10 in more detail. Electricity meter 10 comprises a sensor 100, a meter integrated circuit 101, a transformer 102, and a hybrid 104. Meter integrated circuit 101 comprises a transponder 106, a control circuit 108 and a detector circuit 109. Sensor 100 is coupled between power cable 12 and local loads 16 and sensor 100 has an output coupled to control circuit 108. Control circuit 108 may be a programmable microcontroller circuit, with a stored program to cause it to function as will be described. Transformer 102 has a primary side coupled to power cable 12 and a secondary side coupled to transponder 106 via hybrid 104. Transponder may contain a receiver 106a and a transmitter 106b for receiving and transmitting signals from and towards power cable 12 respectively.
Hybrid 104 has a first terminal coupled to transformer 102 and a second terminal coupled to an output of transponder 106, for passing signals from transponder 106 to transformer 102. Hybrid 104 has a third terminal coupled to an input of transponder 106. Hybrid 104 splits off signals coming from transformer 102 and supplies to the input of transponder 106. Detector circuit 109 has an input coupled to the input of transponder 106 and an interface coupled to control circuit 108. Detector circuit 109 comprises a sampling circuit 109a, an A/D converter 109b and a signal memory 109c, coupled in cascade.
In operation electricity meter performs conventional metering operations. Sensor 100 may sense current passed through electricity meter 10 and it may signal a result of said sensing (e.g. measured cumulative current use, or a measurement of an instantaneous current value to control circuit 108. Control circuit 108 may cause transponder 106 to send report signals reporting sensing results. Hybrid 104 and transformer 102 pass the report signal to power cable 12, which in turn passes the report signal to information gathering unit 14, e.g. for billing purposes.
When transponder 106 causes a signal on power cable 12, power cable 12 acts as a transmission line for that signal. Inevitably, however, signal reflections occur along this transmission line, for example at the master circuit breaker 19a and at points where the power cable is attached to electrodes. Furthermore, reflections will occur if an illegal tap 18 is connected to power cable 12.
Fig. 2 schematically shows reflection signals 20, 22 that may occur with and without a tap respectively, as a function of time in response to a pulse signal. The reflection signal 20 that may be obtained without tap may contain a number of primary reflections 24 at different time points due to reflecting points along power cable 12, with different time delays from transmission of the pulse that correspond to the distance between electricity meter 10 and the points of reflection. In addition, there may be later secondary reflections that arrive after successively reflecting from different points. In the signal 22 that may be obtained when a tap is present, an additional primary reflection 26 occurs due to reflection from the tap, as well as additional secondary reflections. The time delay between transmission of the signal and reception of the primary reflection 26 due to the tap is indicative for the distance between electricity meter 10 and the tap.
When transponder 106 causes a signal on power cable 12, the reflected signal returns to electricity meter 10, in which it is fed back to transponder 106 via transformer 102 and hybrid 104. Detector circuit 109 samples the reflected signal, digitizes it and stores the digitized sampled values in memory 109c. Control circuit 108 reads the values of the reflected signal and compares them with a reference signal, which corresponds to an expected reflected signal in the absence of any illegal taps 18. The reference signal may be kept in memory 109c as well, or it may be represented by data in a memory (not shown) of control circuit 108. When control circuit 108 detects that a deviation between the reflected signal and the reference signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, control circuit 108 causes transponder 106 to transmit a further signal (an alarm signal) to information gathering unit 14 to report the deviation, which is taken to indicate at least a suspicion that an illegal tap has occurred. Transponder 106 may be coupled to detector circuit 109 to trigger recording of values from a time point in predetermined relation to the time of transmission. Alternatively, control circuit 108 may provide the trigger signal or values may be recorded continuously and control circuit 108 may select a set of recorded values dependent on the time point of transmission of the signal.
In an embodiment, control circuit 108 is configured to use the time delay of the primary reflection to decide whether or not send the alarm signal. This may be done for example only when the primary deviating reflection (first deviating part of the signal) in excess of the threshold occurs within a predetermined time window from transmission of the signal. The time window may define a maximum distance from the electricity meter 10 from which reflections are monitored. This prevents that uncontrolled, but legal load variations further away from electricity meter 10 can lead to false alarms.
In an embodiment, control circuit 108 is configured to send the alarm signal only if a deviation from the reference signal is detected in repeated reflection experiments. This also reduces false alarms. Control circuit 108 may be configured to keep a count of a number of times that a deviation was measured, or of a duration of a time interval in which deviations where detected. In this embodiment control circuit 108 is configured to generate the alarm signal when this count, or this duration, exceeds a further threshold.
In an embodiment control circuit 108 is configured to establish the reference signal on installation, or in response to an update control signal received by transponder 106. This may be done by copying of the digitized sample values from detector circuit 109 to a memory for the reference signal. In an embodiment an average obtained from repeated measurements may be used as reference signal. In an embodiment, electricity meter 10 may be provided with a control switch (not shown) in a tamper protected housing and coupled to integrated circuit 101 to control storing of the reference signal. Thus, a service engineer may set the reference signal when needed. In another embodiment control circuit may be configured to detect a signal received by transponder 106 with a code to store a measured reference signal or average reference signal. As this introduces a risk of tampering a protected communication is preferably used for this, involving for example a known protocol to prove that the source of the signal is in possession of predetermined secret information.
The selection of time points timing of transmission of probe signals for the detection of reflections and/or comparison of received reflections with the reference signal may be selected by control circuit 108. Periodic or random timing may be used for example. However, it is preferred that the control circuit 108 is configured to select the timing based on timing selection signals received by transponder 106. This makes it possible to avoid interference between measurements by different electricity meters 10. Information gathering unit 18 may be configured to send timing selection signals successively addressed to different electricity meters 10 each to trigger a different reflection measurement.
In an embodiment a dedicated probe signal is used to elicit the reflection. A dedicated probe signal generator may be included with transponder 106 for this purpose, or transponder 106 may be designed to generate the prone signal as well as message signals. A pulse containing an oscillating signal may be used as a probe signal for example. A comparison of samples of time dependent signals may be used to detect deviations in the reflection as described. However, alternatively the reflected signal may be preprocessed before the comparison. Filtering may be performed and/or envelope detection for example. Although an example of a pulsed probe signal has been described, it should be appreciated that other types of signal may be used. For example, a frequency swept signal may be used, so that the reflected signal is also a frequency swept signal, but with a delay frequency sweep. In this case detector 109 may comprise a mixer to mix down the reflected signal with a similarly frequency swept local oscillator, so that a signal results wherein an added reflection at a certain distance results in spectrum with a frequency peak at a frequency corresponding to that distance. In this case a frequency window, applied e.g. by means of a low pass filter may be used to distinguish nearby reflections. Deviations may be detected by applying a Fourier transform to the mixed down signal and detecting deviations from a reference data derived by applying a Fourier transform to a reference signal obtained earlier.
Instead of using a dedicated probe signal, reflections resulting from regular messages sent via the power lines may be used to detect tampering. But transmission of messages via the power lines is not indispensable. Although an embodiment has been described wherein a transponder 106 is used to transmit messages and alarms concerning electricity via power lines 12, it should be appreciated that alternatively other forms of transmission, such as wireless transmission or transmission via a connection to the Internet may be used. In this case a signal generator is preferably added to meter integrated circuit to supply probe signals to the power lines instead of transponder 106. Although use of a hybrid and a transformer has been shown, to facilitate coupling to the power lines, it should be appreciated that other forms of coupling may be used, including direct coupling or capacitive coupling of detector circuit 109 and transponder 106 or a signal generator to the power lines. Although an embodiment has been shown wherein a single meter integrated circuit 101 is used to perform the described functions it should be appreciated that the implementation of components of this circuit may be distributed over a plurality of integrated circuits and/or other devices.
Other variations to the disclosed embodiments can be understood and effected by those skilled in the art in practicing the claimed invention, from a study of the drawings, the disclosure, and the appended claims.

2021 Ford F-150 vs. 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
If you are looking for a new pickup truck, you have likely looked at both the 2021 Ford F-150 and the 2021 Chevy Silverado. Both of these vehicles have positive aspects, but at Oracle Ford, we think that when you look at both of them closely, you will come away wanting to buy or lease the F-150. Don't just take our word for it though; here is a breakdown showing how the F-150 and Silverado compare, so you can make an informed decision.
F-150 Performance
The F-150 has a 3.3-liter V-6 engine that generates 290 horsepower. That's a bit more power than the Silverado 1500, which has a 4.3-liter V-6 engine that generates 285 horsepower. Both vehicles have rear-wheel-drive, but while the Silverado 1500 has a six-speed automatic transmission, the F-150 has a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Having more speeds on the transmission makes gear changes smoother as you change speeds. When you accelerate while driving a Ford F-150, you will get a smooth drive every time thanks to that 10-speed transmission.
The Ford F-150 will also get you farther per gallon of gas when driving around Tucson than the Silverado 1500. The F-150 gets an estimated 26 miles-per-gallon highway, while the Silverado 1500 gets 23 miles-per-gallon highway.
F-150 Towing
When it comes to towing, the 2021 F-150 can't be beaten, literally. Its available 14,000-pound towing capacity is the best in its class, and better than the Silverado 1500's maximum available towing capacity of 13,300 pounds. The Ford F-150 also has an available payload capacity of 3,325 pounds, while the Silverado 1500 has a maximum available payload capacity of 2,280 pounds.
One of the most notable features of the Ford F-150 is its Pre-Collision Assist feature. Pre-Collision Assist uses camera technology to determine if a potential collision with either a pedestrian or another vehicle is imminent.
Pre-Collision Assist works whether you are driving during the day or at night. It can reduce the severity of a collision significantly, or prevent a frontal collision entirely. When Pre-Collision Assist detects a potential collision, it alerts the driver with a sound and a warning message that appears in the message center. If the driver does not respond in time, Automatic Emergency Braking will increase brake-assist sensitivity to make braking easier and give them more time to brake. If the driver still does not brake, Automatic Emergency Braking will apply brakes automatically.
This robust safety feature has the potential to make potentially dangerous situations much safer, and give you peace of mind whenever you drive around Marana. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is standard on the F-150. While it is available with the Silverado 1500, you have to pay more to add it as a feature.

1999-07-30 04:00:00 PDT BAY AREA -- Californians will be forced to breathe 30 extra tons of pollutants a day if so-called dirty gas is allowed to be sold, two Bay Area environmental groups charged yesterday in a lawsuit against state regulators.
Granting Chevron the right to sell the gas on an emergency basis will "endanger public health and the environment," said Denny Larson, regional director of Communities for a Better Environment, one of the groups filing suit.
The suit seeks to overturn a ruling granted by the California Air Resources Board, which two weeks ago said Chevron could sell gasoline that does not meet the state's strict anti-smog formula. Chevron sought the 45-day exemption after the July 19 explosion at its Richmond refinery that cut production.
"Chevron cried wolf, predicting supply shortages and price hikes, but where's the shortage?" said Richard Drury, executive director of the environmental group.
A Chevron spokeswoman said the refiner "hasn't needed to sell one drop" of the nonconforming gas so far.
"We hope we don't have to, but we cannot predict the marketplace," said spokeswoman Nancy Malinowski. She said Chevron asked for the variance in order to "meet our customers' needs (and) maintain a downward pressure on prices."
Larson scoffed at the idea that Chevron wanted the variance in order to save motorists money.
"Anyone that believes Chevron is trying to save them money would buy a swamp in Florida," he said, pointing out that the price of gas at the pump has gone up about a dime a gallon since the variance was granted.
Communities for a Better Environment and the Bluewater Network, the other group filing suit in San Francisco Superior Court, also want Chevron to offset the extra pollutants by installing devices to reduce vapor emissions at refineries and docks.
The variance, the first ever granted by state regulators, allows Chevron to sell 147 million gallons of unoxygenated fuel refined for other states.
Air Resources Board spokesman Allan Hirsch said that under the variance Chevron was required to make "good-faith efforts to find and sell fully complying gas before they can sell noncomplying fuel," he said.
Under the variance, Chevron must pay the state 15 cents for every gallon of dirty gas sold. Chevron spokeswoman Malinowski said she did not know if Chevron would make or lose money by selling dirty gas.

It's shocking to hear that some organizations are willing to put people on the job before background check results come back. It's even more shocking that, according to the investigation, thousands of individuals with serious criminal records are being placed in situations where they have access to children, medical patients and the elderly.
This piece emphasizes one important thing about background checks — they only work if you use them. And that means waiting until the results come back before hiring ANYONE.
Even if you're only looking for a receptionist, WAIT. You never know what kind of past history he or she could have that could change your mind. Put another way… would you want someone who had been convicted of embezzlement to have access to even the smallest amount of petty cash in the office? Would your colleagues? And can you afford that kind of mistake?

We have launched our Stay and Play session which happens every Friday for one hour. Stay and Play is when parents and carers come to visit Nursery with their children. It gives you the opportunity to come and see what play activities the children are experiencing and how they learn through play.
We will learn about Chinese New Year, Mothers Day and Easter. We want the children to remember, and talk about the special times they experience with their families and encourage them to share these significant events with us by bringing in photographs to show to their class.

Constructing with a purpose in mind.
Welcome to ladybird Class. We have had a very successful start to the new school year and are pleased that the children are settling into the new routine of nursery.
Please name almost everything you can. We have discovered that children's back packs need to be named because some of the children are coming to nursery with the same bag.
We will be sending a library book home every Friday. Please could you bring the red book bag in on a Friday. Ensure that the book bag is named and the best way is to write the name on the front flap of the book bag.
If you have any questions or concerns about nursery please let me know and I will be available for a quick chat before school or for a longer chat after all the children have been dismissed. We are dismissing the children slowly and carefully at the end of the session, so thank you very much for your patience.
Please bring a set of spare clothes (including underwear, t-shirt, leggings or jogging bottoms and socks) into school with your child every day.
This half term we will be learning all about Ourselves. We will be talking about where we live and our families. Sharing news about our pets and friends. Asking where we enjoy going with our families and about our favourite play activities. We will think about the things we are good at.
We shall be reading lots of books about families and creating our own portraits of our families for a display. We will also be focusing upon getting to know our new friends and teachers. We will be cooking some of our favourite things and will let you know if we need donations of ingredients.

Yesterday, April 14th, 2015, SpaceX had another historic launch of a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket with an uncrewed cargo spacecraft called Dragon. This rocket was sent on a flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the International Space Station. SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the rest of us watched on as they attempted to land the rocket stage on a floating barge.
I cannot even explain to you how tantalizingly close this rocket came to a landing. You'll have to watch the footage for yourself.
This launch follows an attempt to land on the drone ship back in January. During that landing, the rocket hit the drone ship at an angle and exploded. This is a monumental transition to a new future in space travel, exploration, and launches. The goal is to continue trying until they master landing on the drone ship at sea and then eventually transition to landing rockets back on the ground as opposed to being burned up in the atmosphere or having them falling into the ocean.
The cost savings from being able to reuse these rockets is astronomical. We are talking about saving millions and millions of dollars. Once SpaceX begins successfully landing the rocket stage (which I fully believe that they eventually will), space travel will be revolutionized. Musk is putting a lot of time, energy, and resources into this project and the goal is to make history.
The uncrewed cargo spacecraft called the Dragon is set to dock at the International Space Station in a few days. This is actually SpaceX's sixth mission to the International Space station; they are the first private space company that has been able to dock with the station. In this mission, they are delivering more than 4,300 pounds of supplies. It will take the International space station crew about five weeks to unpack and repack the Dragon before sending it to splash land in the Pacific Ocean (off the coast of California). They are packing the Dragon back up with a few thousand pounds of science experiments, trash, and other miscellaneous items to come back to Earth.

This Tuesday I wrestled through one of my migraines. Nasty, hateful buggers, they are. As I've said before, "bad headache" doesn't begin to cover the pain associated with one. Nausea, sensitivity to light and inability to move captures more the essence of the beast. Regretfully, I texted my mentor, "I'm not going to be able to make it tonight." In response, she sent me her sympathy and a bold and compassionate prayer, requesting God's mercy over my head. I almost cried. For one, I appreciated her response. Two, I wish I possessed her faith.
Watching my dad live with habitual migraines (that no herbal remedy, dietary restrictions, exercises, doctors, or prescription drug could touch) conditioned me to view Jehovah Rapha, our Healer, as an attribute of the past (or one granted to other families elsewhere). Despite the fervent, faithful prayers of many (my dad included), he went Home to Heaven 4 years ago. Some of would say cancer got the final word, but I don't think so.
One of the novels I read this year involved a pastor's wife dealing with cancer; despite the Christian readers who craved that "ah yes" victory moment, the woman didn't heal (at least not in the worldly sense of the word). But, she told her friends there were four types of healing: the healing through help (medical and natural advancements), healing of the attitude (perspective alteration), miraculous healing (unexplained by anything but God's touch), and complete healing (going Home to Heaven). I appreciated the theology. For many argue that a person isn't healed if they "die." But, honestly, what further restoration could there be? I realize separation from our loved ones isn't optimal…for us, but for the person called Home, there's no greater gift.
I don't resent God for taking so many believers out "sooner than their time" (whatever that means) because I know where they are going, and believe me, it's much better than here. Those left behind are the ones who feel the loss–not those who go on. No, I wish He would take us all. Because of my experiences, I don't expect much healing (not only do I not expect it, I don't feel that I deserve it…but who does, truly?). For His grace is sufficient, and anything beyond becomes a bonus to the gift we've already received.
Flashback to migraine afternoon. Ice pack over my eyes, ears pulsing with the pain, my stomach threatening to empty if I move one inch from complete stillness. My mentor has prayed over me and I've returned to bed, expecting little. But, I know Allison's faith possesses the ability to overwhelm my own anemic deficiency. And like an offering from God, an idea pops into my mind. Try this. I lay on my roller and do some M.E.L.T. stretches. I roll off my spine and take some deep cleansing breaths, nearly crying from relief. The edge is gone. Now, instead of a migraine, I have a dull headache…a manageable one. The gift wasn't lost on me. The LORD didn't zap my head, but he did offer me a solution and that something made all the difference.
Does He always work this way? No. He doesn't always. He doesn't always take the migraine away…or the cancer; He doesn't always say "yes" to our wishes. But, what He does do comes from a heart of love.

Boy, 14, arrested after police chase in stolen car
Around 5am, a Houston Police Department unit tried to stop a Nissan Altima for a traffic violation at Tidwell and Shepherd in northeast Houston.
According to officials, the car took off and the HPD unit gave chase.
Police pursued the car east on Tidwell to Nordling and then to Rittenhouse where they went to Garcia.
Authorities said the driver jumped out of the car on Rittenhouse at Garcia and fled on foot. That's when the passenger -– a 14-year-old male -- reportedly slid into the driver's seat.
Officers followed the new driver down Garcia to John Alber Road where he lost control and crashed into a ditch.
The teen was arrested. Police searched the area but never found the original driver.
After the chase ended, officers discovered the car had just been stolen at gunpoint from a couple at a McDonalds somewhere on the north side.
HPD brought the carjacking victims to the scene to recover it.

I need to make a new account at the co-op for Z's school–only the head of household can do that during normal business hours when Michael is at work, which means, no account can be made and I need to pay in cash at the office.
We need to transfer money to a bank account back in the States. There are a few extra forms for Michael to approve before I can send money on his behalf.
Technically, Michael shouldn't leave work before his boss leaves. It's a seniority and respect thing. I'm glad his boss is British and overlooks that technicality.
The constant smell of smoke. Japan has gotten better about creating non-smoking spaces since I last lived here in the mid 90's, but there is definitely room for improvement. Even while walking down the street with no smokers in sight, there is that faint smell coming from somewhere.

I'm not even sure if Mt. RAINIER coffee actually exists back home, but it makes me smile thinking of our former hometown.
I know we'll keep finding sights that put a smile on our faces. I'll be sure to post more as we come across them. I find gratitude puts things in perspective. I'm truly grateful for our new home, our family and our friends. Oh, and the amazing food here. I know for certain that one day I will find that burrito!
I have missed your blogs! Linda Bar and Gigi brought a tear to my eye so I can imagine what it did to Linda! You are on a great adventure and there will be some not easy and down times. I have a great respect for you both for having the courage to take this on! You are awesome!!! Keep it coming!!
I can understand why you might be feeling a bit homesick–hang in there. Mike, you can probably get your British boss to leave at quite respectable hours. Just just suggest going for pints. Of course, you'll be in a pub with them, and not at home. But hey, you won't be in the office. Also, you still have a Tower Records!?!? Do tell.


Sporotrichosisis is a widespread endemic fungal infection of the tropical and subtropical regions affecting both humans and animals. It is particularly prevalent in Brazil, India, Mexico, Peru, the United States, Japan and South Africa.
Sporotrichosis is usually responsive to itraconazole or amphotericin B, but expansion of species beyond Sporothrix schenckii to include S. globosa, S. brasiliensis, S. mexicana and S. luriei (Sporothrix complex), raises the possibility of resistance in certain species.
In a recent study by Ana Espinel-Ingroff et al, in vitro susceptibility testing by broth microdilution M38-A2 method for 875 strains of S. schenckii, S. brasiliensis, S. globosa and S.mexicana collected from 17 independent laboratories was done. The CLSI M38-A2 is a reference method for testing the susceptibility of filamentous fungi that cause invasive and cutaneous fungal infections to antifungal agents. The wild type susceptibility (MIC/MEC) distributions for 5 antifungals in clinical use were determined and the ECVs were obtained.
In rank order, terbinafine had the lowest ECVs, then itraconazole, posaconazole and amphotericin B with voriconazole having the highest, consistent with intrinsic resistance.
Sporotrichosis mainly occurs following a traumatic inoculation of the dermis with spores or mycelial fragments of the fungus Sporothrix complex, or contact with cats. Direct infection occurs in humans through wounding caused by plants or indirectly through contact of an existing wound with contaminated soil. The typical clinical manifestation include one or more nodular ulcerous scabby lesions on the limbs, sometimes on the face or body.

This is a bit of a puzzle, but what appears to have happened is that a lua script or a botched card prep procedure has disabled CHDK on two different Canon S100's. ...apologies for a way-too-long post!
Both S100's are running firmware 102a. I used STICK on a late 2012 iMac running OS X 10.12.4 and Java 1.8.0_131 to install CHDK 1.4.1.
I successfully prepped a 32GB SANDISK flash card and used both the MDFB2013.lua motion detection script and msl's Extended Video R2 script. (Script 3 at: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Continuous_Video_Scripts). Both worked well.
I wanted to do an very long extended video so I tried prepping a 64GB Sandisk card. That's when the strangeness set in.
The cards appeared to be normal so I tried one of them in a camera. (Bad idea probably). The camera booted, but it came up in PLAYBACK mode. There appears to be no way to switch a camera started in playback mode to camera mode.
I tried loading CHDK using the firmware update method (perhaps the fatal mistake?), with the same results, the camera comes up in PLAYBACK mode, and is stuck there.
Unlocking the card results in the camera operating normally.
I moved my Stick installation to the trash, emptied the trash and restarted the machine. I then downloaded and reinstalled STICK. After using Disk Utility to format the card first as MacOS Extended and then as FAT32, I did a low-level format of the card in the camera, and only then used STICK to prep the card. It finished normally, including a normal eject.
That card behaved exactly the same way as it did earlier. I tried a second 64GB card with the same results.
I (wrongly) thought the problem might be with the size of the card. I prepped a 32GB card. It behaved the same way.
Now the really strange part. I rummaged through my collection of flash cards and found a 4GB card from 2013 containing CHDK 1.2.0-3354. It behaves exactly the same way. It starts the camera in PLAYBACK mode, and there's no apparent way to switch to camera mode.
I tried downloading the official Canon 102a firmware for the S100, but the in-camera firmware updater won't overwrite the the firmware with the same version.
So bottom line, I'm left with two S100's that work fine except they can't boot CHDK! Any suggestions?
Anyone know a way to switch a camera that was started in PLAYBACK mode into camera mode?
Re: CHDK permanently disabled on S100?
Have you tried holding the power button a little longer to start in record mode, or half press the shutter after it boots?
Both of those worked! Many thanks!
...maybe that should be "The guy who wrote this (me) is an IDIOT".
This is actually a fairly of common source of confusion, it should probably be highlighted in the FAQ and CHDK Users manual.
Many thanks for the kind words reyalp, but I've been debugging software since the 8080 was a hot new processor. ...and analog circuits before then. Getting stumped by an overloaded control is pretty bad.
...not bad enough to keep me from doing it all again though!
Blame the CHDK documentation. Everyone else does.
Can't do that's waterwingz, it's a Wiki! Any time and effort spent complaining about it is better used helping to improve it.
Thanks for that! 4,226 and counting.

A Child's Adventure — десятый студийный альбом Марианны Фейтфулл, выпущенный на Island Records в 1983 году.

Об альбоме и запись
После двух альбомов с Марком Манди в качестве продюсера, Марианна Фейтфулл записала A Child's Adventure без отдельного продюсера; альбом был спродюсирован вспомогательными музыкантами  и  и звукоинженером Харви Голдбергом. В интервью после записи альбома она отметила: «Поскольку у нас не было продюсера как такового, на этом альбоме мы могли работать вместе над более тонкими деталями — гармониями, на которые у продюсера часто не хватает времени».

С 1978 года Фейтфулл исполняла «She's Got a Problem», стихотворение, написанное Кэролайн Блэквуд и положенное на музыку тогдашним мужем Фейтфулл Беном Брайерли.

loool, isn't this the same thing that's happening now? you guys are making the dumbest calculations IF you were town, which i'm starting to doubt heavily.
literally getting annoyed by the fact drex is doing the same thing he did when he flipped scum.
IF you were town, which i'm starting to doubt heavily.
how are you so sure i'm " scum " instead of a jester whois trying to get lynched though?
since i don't flip town according to your logic.
if i get mislynched on the first day because people actually fell for drex schemes twice i'm never playing again.
I don't know for a fact that you're not the jester, at least until you posted this. You're tryna pull the 'i can be the jester' card to shake me up, but it's not gonna work. The risk is worth it.
trying to manipulate the game and follow the majorities vote.
i'm asking how can you be so sure i'm scum by voting me, when i also could be the jester since i'm not town in your eyes.
this is exactly the same thing that happened when you flipped scum.
but that applies to every vote i make, right?
You're being the most suspicious person around here. I can't say for sure what's your role, but it's the safest bet for now. Also, you should realize that I'm no scum if you're innocent too. It's up to you, but in all honesty and seriousness, I'm not the one you should be voting for.
What are you tryna embarrass yourself for? I rapped you guys in the previous game.
the way it's going it exactly the same.
i shared for the sake of not slipping under the radar and come off as a player whois going to continue being on the front lines for the rest of the game.


This month we're shining the spotlight on Cupar, an old market town to the north of the Lomond Hills, in an area known as the Howe of Fife.
Cupar has a rich history dating right back to the 7th or 8th century which you can explore with a wander round the Cupar Heritage Trail which has 24 places of interest. During the summer months you can visit the Heritage Centre at the Railway Station.
If the weather is good Haugh Park is a lovely spot to spend some time and if you need refreshment or retail therapy Cupar has some lovely Independent shops, cafes and restaurants. There is also a regular Farmers Market on the third Saturday of the month.
There's a great selection of events in and around Cupar throughout the year. In the town one of the highlights is the annual Highland Games in June which includes all the traditional activities from highland dancing to pipe bands to tossing the caber. The Cupar Arts Festival is an international festival of contemporary art which takes place every two years. The 2016 event included visual art, music, poetry, puppets, food and more!
There are also lots of places to visit close to Cupar, from golf to historic houses to a mega maze! Why not take a trip to this lovely part of Fife and explore for yourself.
