You can't choose your own nickname. That much is clear. But understanding how these monikers come to be is the basis of a study that aims to help students understand linguistic concepts.
Dr Donna Starks from La Trobe University, Dr Kerry Taylor-Leech from Griffith's School of Education and Professional Studies and Dr Louisa Willoughby from Monash University surveyed 642 secondary school students from Victoria and Queensland to discover nicknaming conventions.
Dr Donna Starks
"Nicknames are acquired informally and often against the holders' wish. Most relate to personal attributes and create expectations of the user,'' Dr Taylor-Leech said.
"Although it is widely known that language practices can significantly affect adolescent self-image, research on teen-naming practices is rare.
"Nicknames are an index of youth culture as they display many of the features typically associated with youth language such as puns and other word play, reference to culture, in-jokes, non-standard spelling and informal speech."
Dr Kerry Taylor-Leech
The students were asked to list nicknames for people they knew and the origin of the name – i.e., derived from a given name, physical appearance, where born, and emotions.
They then evaluated the names they had selected for others as either positive, neutral, negative or a combination of these. The students also provided details of their own nicknames.
The study found the majority of nicknames were name-based, with more than half being surnames. Other nicknames were related to the holder's physical characteristics such as weight, height or hair colour or personal habits or traits.
Common nicknames included: Ranga (a person with red hair, 31 instances), Fatty, and Fuzzy. Examples of personal traits nicknames included Bubbles (happy) Cookie (sweet, kind), Groover (clumsy), and Deep Thought (thoughtful).
Nicknames were also formed from combinations of traits, with the most common a physical trait plus something else. For example: Little Red (small with red hair) and Care Bear (a physical plus personal trait).
"These categories of nicknames can provide a way for teachers to begin exploring and categorising nicknames with their students and compare their own usage and experience as part of the writing modes embedded in the curriculum,'' Dr Taylor-Leech said.
Dr Louisa Willoughby
Aligned with the Australian National English curriculum, the researchers say the study, published in the Australian Journal of Education late last year, shows how nicknaming can be used as a form for exploring language structure and use in interesting, age-appropriate, meaningful and creative ways for students.

PREP BASKETBALL: Lady Eagles fall behind in second half against Luella

Updated: Dec. 17, 2017, 11:56 a.m.
COVINGTON, Ga. — The Eastside Lady Eagles' basketball team had its hands full in their third region game of the season when they faced the one-loss Luella Lions in an effort to spark an upset win.
However, despite keeping pace with the Lions early, Luella's aggressive play proved to be too much as the Lions pulled away for a 67-46 win, dropping the Eagles' record to 2-5 on the season and 1-2 in region play. Sophomore Alysee Dobbs led Eastside with 12 points, and Eastside coach Gladys King didn't mind drawing encouragement from the early-game success.
"I thought we played pretty well in the first half, being that we did not have our starting point guard, Nia Davis," King said. "We were holding our own and were just as aggressive and competitive in those first two quarters."
Eastside opened the game's scoring with a three pointer from D'Erica Farley. Dobbs would add six in the first quarter to help push the Eagles to a 19-17 lead at the end of one.
Despite the aggression from Luella, especially when trying to steal the ball away from Eastside, the Eagles would keep pace in the second quarter as Dobbs added four more points, but Luella would take back the lead 31-29 at halftime.
The second half became a different story, though.
"When we came back in the third quarter, we kind of didn't handle the ball pressure to well," King said. "We kept going down the sidelines instead of keeping the ball in the middle of the floor, and there were just some fundamental things that we talked about since day one."
Despite taking back the lead momentarily after a two-point shot from senior Chasity Smith, the Lions would go on a fast-paced 10-0 run, and they would not stop from there, as senior Kamaya Hollingshed would help take over the game, adding nine points to her point total in a game where she finished with 34. The Lions finished the third quarter outscoring the Eagles 18-9 while taking a 49-38 lead.
"When the trap came, they were just slinging the ball, and you can't sling the ball." King said, "We have to make sure that we are getting players to get the ball to. There were a lot of turnovers from the guards out there tonight."
Turnovers were crucial in allowing the Lions to pull away even more in the fourth, combined with several fouls committed by the Eagles, which saw the Lions get chances to shoot from the free-throw line on six consecutive possessions, and nine times total in the last quarter.
The Eagles could only muster eight more points, bringing their tally to 46.
Although Coach King noted some positive takeaways early in the game, she made it clear that there was plenty to work on moving forward.
"I'm looking to work on the turnovers more, as well as getting in the gym and working on the press and breaking it with this lineup that we have, since we will have it for a while," she said. "But at the same time, maybe we need to move some people around."
The Lady Eagles have just a few days to rest and strategize before making their way to Jones County for a three day tournament, Dec. 20-22.

A number of recent studies have suggested that some types of male infertility will soon become a thing of the past —researchers in Israel grew mouse sperm from testicular cells in a lab, and researchers in Japan created living mice offspring from stem cells that were grown into sperm in the testicles of previously infertile mice.
The research has been a source of optimism, spurring hopes that men whose infertility stems from an inability to produce healthy sperm — which is about 1 percent of all men trying to have children— will be able to have children.
However, a number of hurdles remain to bringing the possibility of treatment for infertility in men, and researchers were reluctant to give a timeline for when infertile men might expect a treatment.
"I can't estimate the period," said Mahmoud Huleihel, a professor of immunology and microbiology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, and senior author on that study. "It depends how the research develops, since there are a lot of limitations."
Similarly, Dr. Mitinori Saitou, a professor of anatomy and cell biology at Kyoto University in Japan and senior author on that paper, told MyHealthNewsDaily, "Our research is still at a purely basic level, using the mouse as a model," and it would take many more years to use human stem cells to make human sperm.
Making sperm in a lab
Saitou's research generated live mouse offspring from sperm made from both embryonic stem cells, and from adult stem cells that had been modified to a state where they resemble embryonic stem cells.
Such modified adult stem cells would be necessary for an infertile adult male to have a biological child. However, the researchers were successful in fewer than 20 percent of their attempts to produce offspring from those cells, and some offspring developed complications such as neck tumors.
Given the state of that research, it's "still a long ways off" before infertile men might be able to have a biological child using that method, said Dolores Lamb, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and a professor of urology and molecular and cellular biology at the Baylor College of Medicine.
Instead, the method of the Israeli researchers — growing sperm from testicle cells — may hold more promise for men who are infertile, Lamb said.
"It certainly is an interesting paper, it's a well-done paper, and it's an encouraging paper," Lamb said.
Still, the researchers were not able use the sperm they grew in a lab dish to fertilize an egg.
"They don't have a live mouse to show from it," Lamb said.
Lamb said that while this research is certainly not at a point where infertile men could expect any sort of treatment. It may be relevant for boys with cancer who are not yet producing sperm that could be frozen. Tissue from their testes could be frozen now and used later, in the event they become infertile from treatments.
"Today, it's reasonable to take a testis biopsy from these patients and freeze them, because I believe the technology should be available within ten years," to produce sperm cells from testis tissue, she said.
But, she cautioned, "there's no guarantees."
In such a case, she said, it would have to be done as part of a study, because of the experimental nature and the ethical issues that might arise.
If the young patient dies, Lamb said."The parents may want to use their dead child's sperm with a surrogate, which raises huge ethical issues. A patient may not have expressed his desire to father a child posthumously, yet a spouse or partner or surrogate may want to use the sperm."
Are men necessary?
The research has led some to speculate that the production of sperm from stem cells could eliminate the need for a male partner in reproduction — theoretically, female stem cells could be used to generate sperm.
However, that speculation ignores three steps that are essential to the process, and require a male. First, while the precursors of sperm have been grown in lab dishes, testicles have been needed to grow them fully. The researchers at Kyoto University, in the only lab thus far that has produced healthy offspring from lab-grown sperm, found they needed to grow those sperm in functioning testes.
A second issue has been that cells from women have not been able to mature into functioning sperm."The presence of two X chromosomes is problematic," in the formation of sperm cells, Lamb said.
Finally, because of the way DNA naturally combines in reproduction, a male and female are necessary. After fertilization, in a process known as imprinting, the DNA is marked for functioning in the offspring.
Imprinting occurs differently depending on whether a DNA strand has come from a woman or a man. DNA combined from two women (or two men) would not be imprinted properly, and the resulting embryo would not survive.
"Any time you do something 'unnatural,' it's hard to get it to work, it's a complicated, complex process," Lamb said.
The paper from Kyoto University was published on Aug. 19 in the journal Cell. The paper from Ben Gurion University of the Negev was published in the November issue of the Asian Journal of Andrology.
Pass it on: Scientists are getting closer to finding a way to help infertile men have children, but a solution is still a long way off.

What Works: How We Engage Families
By School Counselors across the U.S.
How do you encourage parents to be part of the school community?
First and foremost, by developing a relationship with the family that makes them feel important and not judged. The administration, social worker, school nurse, and teachers all work together to build the relationship with the family.
Paula Terpstra, Horace Mann Elementary, Sioux Falls, S.D.
I think parents often think that because their children are in high school they are now somehow responsible for themselves. I like to remind parents that they are still in charge, although we want our kids to start making their own decisions it is still the parents role to guide them down the right path. Parental involvement is imperative for raising successful individuals.
Erin Consorti, Righetti High School, Santa Maria, Calif.
Daily face to face contact with parents as they drop off their children in the morning…calling to invite them to attend meetings to discuss their student's needs; family night nearly each month, that include fun activities around a specific academic subject and refreshments.
Lise Copeland, Hazel Grove Elementary, Kansas City, Kan.
I work in a Career and Technical Education District. We invite parents to "come and do" alongside their student. For instance, at Coding, parents have Hack Night where they learn to code!
Speranta Klees, West-MEC, Phoenix, Ariz.
We host FAFSA workshops once a month and use survey data to find the best times for our families. We provide food, babysitting, prizes, information and support. We personally call parents/guardians to invite them, work with local agencies to provide additional support in the FAFSA process and have college reps on hand to help.
Tonja Odell, Centennial High School, Pueblo, Colo.
I write them an email after each lesson describing what the students learned. I try to give them something to talk with their child about over supper. It has been received very well and many parents are now keeping their contact information with the school current as a result.
Daniel R. Kennedy, Iroquois School District 02-3, Iroquois, S.D.
Homework Diners are weekly family engagement events that allow students and families to receive homework support from paid teachers and volunteer tutors and a free meal for the whole family.
Lyn Bush, Valley Springs Middle School, Asheville, N.C.
What are your biggest obstacles to getting parents involved?
Misunderstanding on the part of educators about a parent's way of engaging with the school. If we only consider school attendance at school sponsored events as involvement, we miss a huge part of the contribution that parents make to their children's education.
Dr. Marcia E. Jackson, Alexandria City Public Schools, Alexandria, Va.
The fact the I am in an alternative HS setting is a challenge because many parents have lost the interest or the belief in their kids or feel it might be a negative interaction with the school. My job is to be reassuring and invitational in nature.
Cecilia Chavez, Innovation High School, Tustin, Calif.
Many of our families are living in poverty. Parents are struggling with the family's daily needs. Many do not have transportation to school events.
Rosemary Wood, Overton Elementary, Salisbury, N.C.
The biggest obstacle is the time demands we all are under, especially the demands that parents are under who have to work full-time or must work 2 or more jobs. Unless financially well-off, parents are stressed and tired all the time, and school involvement is often felt to be an additional "to do" item.
Patti Young, Shepardson Elementary, Fort Collins, Colo.
The biggest obstacle is getting the parents who have had a poor school experience themselves, as children, into the schools as adults. Maybe they feel intimidated or think the other parent volunteers, or even the school staff, is looking down on them because of their social status, level of poverty, lack of education, etc.

Hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
Thanksgiving took on new meaning for me 2 years ago in 2014, when my husband proposed, so now I always look back on that holiday with a special fondness!
It has been a very busy couple of months, and sadly, I let my blog posts lapse. But I'm very excited to share what I have been working on! First of all, I signed on to illustrate a second book for Xist Publishing! The first book, I Saw A Friend, is one of my FAVORITE projects to date, & I am eager to begin this next assignment as soon as the holidays are over.
In October, I participated in Inktober2016, where people are asked to do daily ink drawings based on prompts. I didn't get them all done, nor stick to the prompts, but generated LOTS of fun drawings, many that resulted in cool finished art like the pumpkins above!
I also participated in the SCBWI DrawThis challenge! The word prompt was: FRIGHT.
I had a lot of fun with it, as you can see above! SCBWI is such an important organization for children's book authors and illustrators, and I am a proud member!
And finally, I am in the home stretch with my adult coloring book that I have been working on for the past year! It will actually appeal to folks of ALL ages, and is filled with images of varying degrees of complexity, displaying fun and silly scenes designed to make you smile! Not sure if it will be available in time for the holidays, but DO check back for ordering information!
You can expect me to be posting a bit more regularly, so be sure to subscribe!
As always, I appreciate your interest in my work!!!
And now, I am suddenly craving BACON!!!!
I just started exploring the wonderful world of Instagram!!!So if YOU have an Instagram account, and would like to see more silly art like this, follow me HERE!!!!
Download my book FOR FREE!!!
are easier to make than others!!!
Download it for your kids, your grand kids, or simply to view my artwork!!!
It is a sweet story, and a project I am very proud of that I am very excited to share!
As always, I THANK YOU for your interest in my work!!!
Although I draw people rather infrequently compared to animals, this little guy instantly popped into my head when I saw the prompt for this month's #scbwidrawthis challenge was "ROYAL." So much media focus has been on Prince William, Kate and their progeny, I do wish them some privacy! I could have easily done something with the king of beasts, as I can draw a lion with my eyes closed, but I like to think of these assignments as "challenges" and thus decided to do something a bit out of the ordinary for me. (Even threw in a touch of "royal purple." Did you catch that? ;) )Would love to know what you think of him!
Illustration Friday - TRAPPED, SCBWI #DRAWTHIS and My Adult Coloring Book!!!
Lots of things going on in my studio these days!!!
Was happy to have a few minutes to doodle something for Illustration Friday this week!
I also was excited to have the opportunity to participate in the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators monthly #DRAWTHIS program. The word was ADMIRE.
This drawing was inspired by a memory from when I was a kid. A police officer came to our elementary school to talk about safety. We were in awe of him. We were impressed by his badge, intimidated by his uniform, we respected his authority, and admired his bravery. Most of us wanted to BE a police officer (myself included!) by the time he left. (When I got older, I saw a police training bootcamp video, and that was enough to change my mind :D ) As an adult, with several friends who are police officers, and a brother-in-law who recently retired from the force, and having a better understanding of the horrors these people see every day as part of their job, and the risks they take with their own lives to insure our safety, I admire their courage more than ever. Especially now. And I pray for their safety.
And finally, here is a sneak peek of the adult coloring book I have been working on! I've been having a great time creating pages with different levels of complexity, to offer varying challenges, but also infusing a bit of humor to make things fun!!!


May the bridal party sparkle and shine with beauty using Crystal Bridesmaid Iron-On Applique!

Hyderabad is our next stop after Delhi: Sanjay Vazirani
Having set up a 17,000 sqft central kitchen in Delhi with potential to cater to the premium catering needs of the entire north India, the CEO, Foodlink F&B Holdings says that the focus initially would be to crack the Delhi NCR market before eyeing the rest of the region.
Sanjay Vazirani, CEO of Foodlink F&B Holdings.
With winter setting in North India ushering a season of festivities, social events, especially the big fat weddings, which the region is famous for, Sanjay Vazirani, CEO of Foodlink F&B Holdings, one of the largest players in the premium catering business in the country today, is quite excited the way his new investment early this year in national capital is shaping up.
"We have received tremendous love from Delhi. It is the next strongest market for us in India, and we are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that we give a world class delivery from our 17000 square-feet central kitchen facility made to international standards," he said.
The facility at Chattarpur has a full-fledged Indian section, Asian section, Continental and Mediterranean sections, bulk processing facilities, cold kitchen, bakery, halwai section, cooking facility, walk-in cold rooms, vegetable processing centre and a full-fledged training centre.
"We are in the midst of a great season and we'll keep putting our best foot forward as in our business, word-of-mouth marketing is most important. It's all about delivery and we ensure that we make every count," Vazirani said.
Weddings in North India are truly upscale and luxurious, he confirms, and the expectations of the market from the F&B Service provider is also quite high, he concedes. The company has made "deep research" of these demands and expectations and align the products and service delivery in alignment with those expectations, he adds.
"Delhi is an evolved market and we are successfully addressing their needs and expectations. There are also a growing number of eco-conscious clients that prefer hiring professionals that have adopted sustainable practices for planning weddings," he says.
Vazirani highlighted the recent celebrity wedding of Richa-Ali where the company crafted a planet friendly F&B experience.
"Having been the front runners in luxury catering, we understand the nuances of the business. Our first step is always to listen and capture the personalities and journey of the couple. It's really important that all elements of the wedding reflect the personality of the couple and special memories are woven into food and alcohol experience at the wedding. We let the curation reflect the thought process and the journey of the couple, associating the experience with their memories, their discoveries and their favourites. We make it about personalised touches that resonate with their relationship and their loved ones," he said.
Vazirani said that combined with the Chandigarh kitchen, the company is equipped to manage the demands from Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, J&K, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and even beyond. But, he said that the initial focus of the Delhi Unit is the NCR region which itself is quite large in terms of opportunities.
When asked about the strategies on using the central kitchen facility to further the food retail business in the region, Vazirani said that they are planning to launch cloud kitchens for two of their popular brands - China Bistro and Art of Dum.

Walt Disney Records revived their deluxe soundtrack line, The Legacy Collection, last summer with Robin Hood, the first time that soundtrack had been released in the CD era. At the D23 Expo last July, Cast Members at the Disney Music Emporium booth confirmed that the line would continue and based on feedback, they anticipated Beauty and the Beast to be the next title in the line. With little advertisement, The Legacy Collection: Beauty and the Beast was released on disc and digital Friday, February 9th.
While this is technically the third time the Oscar winning music from 1991's Beauty and the Beast has been released, this is surprisingly the first time the full, complete score has been made available. It fills up all 15 tracks on disc 1, as well as the first 9 on disc 2. Songs from the film appear where the would in the score this time around, while previous releases put all of the songs first, followed by just 5 tracks with highlights from the score. Presenting the songs this way allows the ears to experience the score in a brand new way, hearing instruments and arrangements you never noticed before.
Another reason Beauty and the Beast fans should be excited about this release is that the entire soundtrack has been remastered. I was surprised by how different several of the songs sound, "Beauty and the Beast" in particular. I suspect that some of the mixing levels have been altered to bring quieter instruments towards the front, as I've heard this song countless times and never like this before. This soundtrack also maintains the Special Edition version, with "Human Again" in the score right after "Something's There" rather than as a bonus track.
On the topic of bonus tracks, we get seven demos by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. Collectors who own the Legacy Collection release of The Little Mermaid should already be familiar with their demo work and being one of Howard Ashman's final films, it's touching to have his voice on this release singing the songs the way he originally envisioned them. These demos feature alternate lyrics, several of which may seem familiar as they were reused in the 2017 live action version.
Purchasing the soundtrack digitally through iTunes, fans will receive a digital copy of the book that comes with the physical CD. The liner notes are all written by Alan Menken, who… In keeping with the artistic themes established in the previous releases, Lorelay Bove provides artwork for the cover and booklet, adding her unique style to these classic characters. Due to the collectable nature of The Legacy Collection, this is the rare exception where I prefer an old fashioned CD to the digital alternative. Oddly enough, the deluxe packaged physical release is also less expensive than the digital version.
The legacy of Disney's Beauty and the Beast is worth revisiting and celebrating. Both the music and film went on to earn awards and nominations at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, it was the first of Disney's films adapted for Broadway, and the live action remake took the global box office by storm in 2017, the second highest grossing film of the year behind only Star Wars: The Last Jedi. For the first time ever, fans can own the complete award winning score, plus demos that offer a peak at the creative process, courtesy of The Legacy Collection: Beauty and the Beast.

Rocco Granata (Figline Vegliaturo, 1938. augusztus 16. –) olasz származású  belga dalszerző-énekes-színész.

Legismertebb a híres Marina-dal szerzőjeként, de televíziós színészként is híres.

Főleg olaszul, flamandul és németül énekel.

Élete
A Cosenza megyei Figline Vegliaturóban született. Még gyerek volt, amikor családjával Waterscheibe (Genk), Belgiumba emigrált, ahol apja a szénbányákban dolgozott. Rocco tízéves kora óta törekedett arra, hogy tangóharmonikás legyen; sikerült összehoznia egy zenekart, az Il Quintetto Internazionalét, hogy Belgiumban játsszon, és 1959-ben (45-ös fordulatszámú) kislemezt vegyen fel a Marina/Manuela című dalaival.

A B oldal nemzetközi siker lett: Belgiumban első a slágerlistán, Olaszországban négy hétre, Németországban kilenc hétre, Hollandiában 13 hétre, Norvégiában 15 hétre az első helyen tartózkodott, és elérte egész Európát meg az Amerikai Egyesült Államokat.

Csak Németországban több mint egymillió példányban kelt el, és aranylemezzel jutalmazták. A dalt sok más zenész is feldolgozta, például Marino Marini, Dean Martin, Caterina Valente, The Four Aces, Pérez Prado, Dalida és Louis Armstrong.

A Marina sikerét követően Granata beutazta a világot, többek között néhány koncertet adott a New York-i Carnegie Hallban.

Nagy népszerűségre tett szert Németországban, ahol a Marina után legnagyobb sikere a Buona notte bambino (1963) német változata volt.

1989-ben a Marina 120 BPM című táncos remix ismét az első helyet foglalta el a belga, olasz és német slágerlistákon, és még a dél-amerikai országokban is sláger lett.

2009-ben a Marinát minden idők legjobb olasz slágerének nyilvánították Németországban.

1961-ben a Sanremói dalfesztiválon mutatkozott be a Carolina, dai! című dallal, amelyet a kilencedik helyezett Sergio Brunival együtt énekeltek.

Számos műsorban és filmben is részt vett.

Granata később sikeres lemezproducer lett a Cardinal Records és a Granata Records kiadó tulajdonosaként, és olyan jelentős flamand énekeseket támogatott, mint Marva, Louis Neefs, Miel Cools és De Elegasten.

Felfedezte Sarah Bettens énekesnőt is a K's Choice-ból.

2008-ban a Legjobb évek Carlo Contival című műsor vendége volt.

2014-ben részt vett a Maastrichti fesztiválon André Rieu-vel és Johann Strauss Zenekarával, ahol először a Buona notte bambino, végül a Marina című dalt énekelte; ez utóbbit nagyra értékelte a közönség és maga Rieu is, majd a koncert végén megismételték, ahogy ez Maestro Rieu esetében már hagyománnyá vált.

Granata mintegy 65 albumot adott ki pályafutása során, és jelenleg Antwerpenben él.

Stijn Coninx belga rendező Marina (2013) című filmjét Rocco Granata életének korai évei ihlették.

Transmission of human immunodeficiency virus Type-1 by fresh-frozen plasma treated with methylene blue and light.
Title Transmission of human immunodeficiency virus Type-1 by fresh-frozen plasma treated with methylene blue and light.

BACKGROUND: The risk of transfusion-transmitted infection (TTI) has been minimized by introduction of nucleic acid testing (NAT) and pathogen inactivation (PI). This case report describes transmission of human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) to two recipients despite these measures., STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: In March 2009 a possible TTI of HIV-1 was identified in a patient that had received pooled buffy coat platelet concentrate (BC-PLT) in November 2005. The subsequent lookback study found two more patients who had received methylene blue (MB)-treated fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) and red blood cells (RBCs) from the same donation. In November 2005 the donor had tested negative for both HIV antibodies and HIV-1 RNA by 44 minipool (44 MP) NAT. Repository samples of this donation and samples from the recipients were used for viral load (VL) and sequence analysis., RESULTS: HIV-1 RNA was detectable by individual donation (ID)-NAT in the repository sample from the 2005 window period donation and a VL of 135 copies/mL was measured. HIV-1 infection was confirmed in both recipients of both BC-PLT (65 mL of plasma) and MB-FFP (261 mL of plasma), but not in the patient that had received 4-week-old RBCs (20 mL of plasma). The sequence analysis revealed a close phylogenetic relationship between the virus strains isolated from the donor and recipients, compatible with TTI., CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 17,600 and 4400 virions in the MB-FFP and BC-PLT were infectious, but 1350 virions in the RBCs were not. ID-NAT would have prevented this transmission, but the combination of MP-NAT and MB-PI did not., (C) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Diddy Launches Revolt TV this Fall!
–Rashad Smith, Rochester, New York.
Remember when we use to tune in to MTV and watch TRL, waiting on our favorite videos on the countdown?
What about Pop Up Video on VH-1, that contained informational bubbles, trivia, and sexual anecdotes that kept us intrigued… remember that?
Most certainly we cannot forget the comcial Al Shearer of BET's Hits from the Streets or the lovable 21st century cartoon chick, Cita from BET's Cita World!
The early 2000's, when video programming was in its prime, has vanished before our eyes and replaced by reality television.
Are you ready for this…. He's bringing back REAL music video programming to television!
That's right, Mr. Making the Band himself, Sean "Diddy" Combs, is launching Revolt T.V. this fall!
"There's been a gapping hole …other channels stopped having focus on music and focused more on reality…it left artist and fans not having a place to go", says Diddy.
Apparently, the new video network may have partnerships with Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Beats (by Dr. Dre), giving the generation of social media and advanced technology, every reason to tune in and be engaged in music programming like never before.
After begging to be on but rejected from ABC's Dancing with the Stars, Diddy must have felt like he had to show these big time networks how to really handle business. Even if he starts off like Oprah Winfrey with crappy ratings, Diddy understands, from advice from Ms. Winfrey herself, that the network business is not a sprint, it's a marathon!
MESSAGE: Although this is not the focus, let's hope that Diddy recognizes the plight of education, the black community, and other components contributing to the decline in Black Success and build programming that can somehow socially and academically benefit Black culture. While I'll tune in anyway's, if that's the approach, Diddy has me locked down for good to REVOLT TV!

The Winchester Hotchkiss was a bolt-action repeating rifle patented by Benjamin B. Hotchkiss in 1876 and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and Springfield Armory from 1878. The Hotchkiss, like most early bolt-actions, had a single rear locking lug integral with the bolt handle, but was unique in feeding multiple rounds from a tubular buttstock magazine similar to the Spencer rifle. The .45-70 Hotchkiss was acquired in limited numbers by the US Navy as the M1879, and (in a slightly modified version) by the US Army and several state militias as the M1883, making it the first center-fire bolt-action repeater to be adopted by any major military (the distinction of first bolt-action repeating rifle to be issued in great numbers as a standard military arm was the Swiss Vetterli 1869, which utilized very large rim-fire metallic cartridges).

United States military history
A joint production program was undertaken after the Winchester design passed United States Army Ordnance Department tests in 1878. Springfield Armory was to assemble rifles from Winchester actions and hardware with barrels and stocks manufactured at the armory. Sights, cleaning rods, and stock hardware were nearly identical to contemporary production for the single-shot "trapdoor" Springfield Model 1873. The Army ordered 513 Hotchkiss First Model Rifles for infantry units stationed on the western frontier including Texas and Fort Abraham Lincoln in the Dakota Territory.  The first large delivery of contract material from Winchester to Springfield, in June 1879, included 498 sets of rifle parts, and two complete "pattern" arms assembled (actually converted from commercial muskets) at New Haven by Winchester using Springfield parts, in the reverse scenario. Serial numbers of the two assembled rifles were 101 (in a private collection) and 162 (in the Springfield Armory Museum). Springfield subsequently modified 501 of these rifles to First Model and Second Model Carbines for testing by cavalry units. Carbines have a shorter barrel and stock, and the rear sight is marked HC for Hotchkiss Carbine. The United States Navy ordered 1,474 First Model Rifles with  barrels rather than the  barrels on Army rifles.

Hotchkiss First Model Rifles are identified by the circular knob safety and magazine cutoff on the right side of the stock. The knob weakened the stock and was replaced by two levers atop the receiver on Hotchkiss Second Model Rifles. The Navy purchased 999 Second Model Rifles in 1880 and 1881; and Springfield Armory converted most of the Army First Model Rifles to Second Model Carbines. A few rifles were manufactured for the Army with two piece stocks variously identified as the Model of 1883 or Third Model Hotchkiss Rifles. Army Hotchkiss rifles were withdrawn from service after the Springfield Model 1873 was judged superior to the Hotchkiss in 1883 field trials; but the Navy rifles remained in service until replaced by the M1895 Lee Navy.

Other production
The Chinese Empire purchased 15,000 Winchester-Hotchkiss rifles in 1881. In the 1880s, Costa Rica purchased a small quantity of Winchester-Hotchkisss M1880 rifles and carbines chambered in 43 Spanish. Winchester also produced a civilian sporting version of the Hotchkiss, likewise in caliber .45-70 Government, until 1899.

1884 Winchester catalog lists an option to chamber the M1883 in ".40-65 Hotchkiss" cartridge (which may or may not be .40-65 Winchester introduced in 1887), but it's not clear if this variant was ever actually produced.

The Anglican Church of South America () is the ecclesiastical province of the Anglican Communion that covers six dioceses in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Formed in 1981, the province has 35,000 members. The vast majority of its members (30,000) live in Argentina (specifically in and around Buenos Aires) with its members in the rest of South America being thinly spread. It is one of the smaller provinces in the Anglican Communion in terms of members, although one of the largest in geographical extent.

The province was known as "The Province of the Southern Cone of America" from its formation in 1981 until September 2014, when it formally changed its name to "The Anglican Church of South America".

The province also included Chile, until the inception of the new Anglican Church of Chile as an autonomous province of the Anglican Communion, on 4 November 2018.

History
During the 19th century, British immigrants to South America brought Anglicanism with them. In Britain, a voluntary Anglican society was formed in 1844 to evangelize the indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego. This later became the South American Mission Society (SAMS) and extended its activities to the Araucanian regions of Chile and the Chaco. It still has an important place in the life of the church.

The first diocese was established in 1869 as the Diocese of the Falkland Islands and the rest of South America, excepting British Guiana. The see of the bishop was in Buenos Aires. Despite its title, the diocese's effective territory was restricted to the Southern Cone plus Peru and Bolivia. By contrast, Anglican/Episcopal congregations in Brazil and the more northern Spanish-speaking countries were effectively under the wing of the Episcopal Church of the USA. As the Anglican Church and its mission grew in South America, new dioceses were created from that larger one. Missionary bishops were appointed to smaller dioceses.

Until 1974, these missionary dioceses were under the metropolitical oversight of the Archbishop of Canterbury. For the next seven years, they were administered by an ad hoc council known by the acronym CASA (Consejo Anglicano de Sud América), which also had Brazilian members.

In 1981, the five dioceses of Argentina (at the time including Uruguay, which became an independent diocese only in 1988,) Northern Argentina, Peru and Bolivia (separated into two dioceses subsequent to 1988), Chile, and Paraguay came together to form the Province of the Southern Cone.

In November 2010, at a provincial synod held in Argentina, Bishop Tito Zavala, Diocesan Bishop of Chile, was elected primate. He was the first South American-born primate of the province, and served for six years.

In November 2016, at the provincial synod in Santiago, Chile, Bishop Gregory Venables, was re-elected primate of the Province of South America. He had previously served from 2001 to 2010.

In early 2018 the Diocese of Chile split into four dioceses, and in November that year those dioceses were removed from the Anglican Church of South America and formed into an autonomous province named the Anglican Church of Chile, with Tito Zavala as its first primate.

Doctrine
The province is distinguished by a conservative interpretation of Biblical texts and church practice while some dioceses are more liberal.

Ordination of women
The province has been outspoken in its opposition to the ordination of women to the priesthood, generally appealing to scriptural issues of headship as the basis for such opposition. The Diocese of Uruguay, which has historically been more liberal than other parts of the province, made a formal request in 2011 to be allowed to admit women to the priesthood. This request was received by the provincial synod meeting held in Asunción, Paraguay, in November 2011, and was rejected. However, in 2015 Bolivia became the first diocese in the province to ordain women as priests, ordaining the Rev. Tammy Smith-Firestone.  Later that year Rev. Susana Lopez Lerena, the Rev. Cynthia Myers Dickin and the Rev. Audrey Taylor Gonzalez became the first women Anglican priests ordained in the Diocese of Uruguay.

Human sexuality
The Anglican Church of South America is a part of GAFCON, a conservative coalition of Anglican provinces opposing non-celibate homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Some representatives in the Diocese of Uruguay have supported gay and lesbian rights.

Separation of Peru
In July 2015 it was announced by the Anglican Communion secretariat that the Diocese of Peru was working towards emancipation from the Province of South America, with the intention of becoming an autonomous province of the Anglican Communion, consisting of four dioceses. The four dioceses were to be formed by splitting the current Diocese of Peru into the new dioceses of Lima, Arequipa, Chiclayo, and Huancayo. No date was announced for the formation of the province, but the intended first bishops of each diocese were consecrated. Bishops Alejandro Mesco, Juan Carlos Revilla, and Jorge Luis Aguilar, were all consecrated in July 2015; they are the first indigenous Peruvian bishops to be consecrated in the Anglican Communion. The decision to become an independent province was rescinded at the diocesan synod in 2017. The new bishops remain in post as auxiliary bishops within the diocese.

Separation of Chile
In July 2015 it was announced by the Anglican Communion secretariat that the Diocese of Chile was working towards emancipation from the Province of South America, with the intention of becoming an autonomous province of the Anglican Communion, consisting of four dioceses. The four dioceses were to be formed by splitting the current Diocese of Chile into the new dioceses of Concepción, Santiago, Temuco, and Valparaíso. The intended first bishops of the four dioceses were Tito Zavala (then the diocesan bishop), Abelino Manuel Apeleo (then the auxiliary bishop), and two new bishops who were consecrated in 2016 as additional auxiliaries, namely Alfred Cooper and Nelson Ojeda. The split into the four new dioceses took place in the early part of 2018, and the new province was formally constituted on 4 November 2018 by Archbishop Justin Welby and Presiding Bishop Gregory Venables. Tito Zavala and Abelino Manuel Apeleo became diocesan bishops as planned, along with former archdeacons Samuel Morrison and Him Enrique Lago. The two bishops consecrated in 2016 remain in post as auxiliary bishops within the diocese.

Anglican realignment
In 2003, after the consecration of Gene Robinson, a partnered homosexual, as the Bishop of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, the Province of the Southern Cone severed its relationship with the Episcopal Church (the sole dissent in the diocesan synod was the vote of the Diocese of Uruguay, which voted to maintain full communion with both the Anglican Church of Canada and the Episcopal Church). The province has been involved in the Anglican realignment, as a member of the Global South (Anglican), (GAFCON), and it is in full communion with the Anglican Church in North America, formed in 2009 by former members of the Episcopal Church. The Church of the Province of the Southern Cone decided previously to extend ecclesiastical jurisdiction to conservative congregations or dioceses (including some from the Diocese of Virginia) that departed from the Episcopal Church, but were located within its geographical authority.

The bishops and a number of communicants of four dioceses in the United States — the Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin, the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh, the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth and the Diocese of Quincy (ACNA) – voted in their conventions to separate from the Episcopal Church and affiliate "on an emergency and temporary basis" with the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America. Those who have chosen to remain in the Episcopal Church in the United States have reformed their dioceses and have elected new leadership.

In Canada, 72 parishes in Canada have formed the Anglican Network in Canada and identify as an "ecclesial body under the jurisdiction of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone".

The province also had provisional oversight over one diocese in Brazil, the Diocese of Recife (Diocese do Recife) under Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti, which withdrew from the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil, due to the diocese's opposition to the Brazilian policy of blessing same-sex unions, but later become an extraprovincial diocese of the Global South.

The Anglican Communion Office does not recognize jurisdiction of the Southern Cone bishops over dioceses and ecclesiastical bodies located geographically outside Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

If Terry Francona is interested in manager's job, Cleveland Indians should make it happen: Terry Pluto
Updated: Jan. 12, 2019, 10:00 a.m. | Published: Sep. 29, 2012, 8:26 p.m.
By Terry Pluto, cleveland.com
View full sizeMichael Dwyer, Associated PressTerry Francona played briefly for the Indians and spent 2001 as an adviser to the team before going on to win two World Series titles in Boston.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- At first, I didn't believe it.
Why would Terry Francona have anything more than a casual interest in managing the Indians?
But he does.
I talked to several people extremely close to Francona and those making the decision for the Tribe. Francona worked for the Indians in 2001 as an adviser and he became close to team President Mark Shapiro and General Manager Chris Antonetti.
Francona also played here briefly in 1988. His father, Tito Francona, was with the Tribe from 1959 to 1964.
So Francona gets it, in terms of what Tribe baseball is all about.
Now, can he handle managing a team with one of the lowest payrolls in the majors, especially after spending eight years in free-spending Boston?
Francona has told the Tribe that he's prepared for that.
The genuine interest by Francona is the main reason the Indians didn't simply make Sandy Alomar the permanent manager, rather than interim for the rest of this season. While no one from the Tribe has said this, it must be intriguing for them to consider Francona as the manager with Alomar remaining as bench coach. His time with Francona can also be a type of "manager's finishing school" for the 45-year-old Alomar. He had never managed a game at any level until he took over for Manny Acta in the Tribe dugout this weekend.
Francona would come to town with two World Series titles and five seasons of at least 95 victories in his eight years with Boston. He also was the manager in Boston's epic collapse of 2011, the Red Sox blowing a nine-game lead in the American League East and compiling a 7-20 record in September.
There were reports of pitchers drinking beer in the clubhouse on days when they weren't scheduled to work, and Francona admitted that some veterans had stopped listening to him. The Indians have researched that and other issues with Francona. They believe the meltdown was the result of eight years of being in the sweltering steamer that is Boston Red Sox baseball.
Francona had some heart problems about seven years ago, and there have been some lesser health concerns since then.
But after spending the 2012 season with ESPN and working to get into better shape, the 53-year-old Francona is supposed to be fit and ready to manage again.
But why Cleveland?
"People don't know me very well if they don't know I like a challenge," Francona told the PD's Paul Hoynes. "I'm excited by a challenge and I'm not afraid of a challenge. Especially, when I can do it with people I respect and care about."
But there's also a reality check: As in a manager can't make a lobster out of bologna and Cocoa Puffs.
Francona managed the Phillies from 1997 to 2001, and his records there look a bit like Acta's with the Tribe: 68-94, 75-87, 77-85 and 65-97. He was fired after the 97-loss season, and that's when he spent a year as an adviser to Shapiro and Antonetti.
He was with the Tribe in 2002 when the payroll was slashed and veterans such as Bartolo Colon, Chuck Finley and Paul Shuey were traded for prospects.
So he certainly knows what can happen in Cleveland when things go bad.
It's possible a contender will fire its manager after the season and turn to Francona.
Or it could be that Francona -- who really wants to manage again -- has decided Cleveland is almost a "no-lose situation for him."
He will work for a front office that he knows and trusts in a market that comes with zero baseball expectations. The team has lost at least 90 games in three of the past four years.
Almost anything positive would be considered a significant step in the right direction. Remember how much hard-core Tribe fans enjoyed the 80-82 season in 2011? And Francona will not have to be in the American League East battling the Yankees.
If Francona passes on the Tribe job, it should immediately go to Alomar.
But if he wants it, the Indians should make it happen.
Oh, and what happened to Boston after Francona left and Bobby Valentine became manager?
Heading into Saturday, the Red Sox were 69-88, almost as bad as the Tribe.

Sleeping Policeman - The Bride in the Wilderness
Sleeping Policeman
The Bride in the Wilderness
By Matt Jensen
Are you familiar with the Book of Job? You should be but if you aren't I suggest doing a quick Google search before listening to the new album The Bride in the Wilderness by Sleeping Policeman because that is what the album story is about. The band consists of Charles Grace (guitar/vocals), Devin Primrose (bass/vocals) and Peter Straus (drums/vocals).
The music is pretty sparse overall. I would even say on some songs it veers towards atmospheric. Up first is "Naked I Came" which revolves around a reverb-laced guitar, a couple of drones and shimmering cymbals. At the center are the vocals. It felt like a bit of an intro.
The energy picks up with "Donor of Seeds." There is still a lot of space but the song does do some certified rocking. On top of that there are some notable transitions which effectively change the feel of the song. As a shout to the drummer I loved the hi-hat work before the three- minute mark. The guitar solo wasn't too shabby either.
"Eyes of Flesh" was another substantial song. The vocals reminded me a bit of James Maynard which I wasn't expecting but something between the lyrics and serious inflection struck me.
"Hope For A Tree" is under two minutes and is mostly atmosphere that supports his vocals. It's not the most dynamic song on the album but it was a good move. "The Wilderness" is arguably the catchiest song on the album. I enjoyed the chorus right off the bat. "Dust & Ashes" contains some great guitar work while "August Fisherman" contains some ethereal beauty especially toward the end which bears comparisons to Bon Iver.
"Repentance" rocks harder than anything that came before it but "Wounded Healer" was a little catchier. "Wounded Healer" also had a light feel to it which was a nice way to end it considering how heavy the themes are.
The production is top notch. I have no complaints in this department. It wasn't overproduced and it still felt like a band playing in a room.
Overall, this a great album. It's fluid yet diverse and has connected themes and word play. Recommended.

The Hangprinter plugin doesn't work, don't use it. The calibration procedure is outdated and will not work. It also gets motor directions the wrong way. I've never used it myself, but it has severely complicated debugging that I've participated in.
I know this is off topic here but could locate no better place to contact you.
A group of which I am a member (located in New Jersey, USA), is embarking on a hangprinter project. We aren't smart enough to hew to the known parameters, so we are trying to engineer something new for ourselves.
We have a space large enough for 7-meter radii and greater vertical, if desired. Our plan is to mount motors, gears, power supplies, and transceivers at the radii and on the mover, connecting the whole thing with Bluetooth or WiFi.
Thus the mover will hold the extruder (probably dual), fans, power supply, transceiver, and the vertical drive and gearing. We hope this won't prove too heavy; we do plan to counterweight it.
We have no current plans for any of the electronic and drive exotica that you are engaged in but could be convinced to try.
We recognize that this is a significant departure from the norm that you have established but are daft enough to pursue it. Whether we have the technical capability will come out as we proceed.
If you choose, you could be a valuable resource for us. I'm guessing that we'll need all the help we can get.
-First, is the basic idea sane?
-I think the kinematics look simple. If I am wrong, point me to a lucid discussion of the issues. In any event, do I need to be concerned with anything other than the basic positioning of the mover, accurate location of the four fixed points, and being certain that all drivers actuate according to identical timing profiles?
-I worry about the tensioning of the lines in what is clearly an over-constrained system. I caught the item about not using stretchy line but am also concerned about line weight and so on. Are these really issues? If so, have you proposed solutions?
-I noted the issue of line build-up affecting spool diameter. My proposal is to use a drum with threading on the exterior to permit a flat wind. With sufficient diameter and length, I calculate that it will accept as much line as we need. Comments?
An alternate system uses pinch rollers and a separate take-up system [similar to the tape columns on early main-frame computers, if your memory goes back that far]. This seems overly complex but do-able. Comments?
-The geometrics of the available build volume seem a bit elusive. Making the mover larger or putting extended arms on it will make the neck at the top larger but seem to cause a reduction in the diameter near the bottom through the movement restriction. Is this correct?
-Finally, since this is clearly a branch from the main thread of HP3.3 design, where would you prefer that I contact you, if indeed elsewhere?
Cool that you're designing a cable driven 3d printer!
I think you'll like the Mechaduinos. They will let you auto calibrate anchor locations and never worry about lost steps.
I think you might regret counterweights. I used it back in 2014/2015. See my blog posts and forum posts from that time for details.
I think it's easier if we use the word "Hangprinter" only when we mean the 3d printer that is designed by the Hangprinter Project.
- and parallel reprap 3d printers/machines/robots.
I don't have a trademark or anything, so you're free to use the words you like, but using the four descriptive phrases above will avoid confusion.
If you want my personal support on non-Hangprinter design problems, PM me your email, and I'll give you a price.
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/11/2018 05:44PM by tobben.
Really interested in making one of these myself.
I have seen in the videos that you can enter a value for how far above the build surface the 3 anchor points are. Is it possible using this setting to have the anchor points on the ceiling? My thinking for this is that once built I would like to leave the printer in place so having the anchors on the ceiling would mean that I could lift the print head up to the ceiling when not in use and all the lines would also then be up and out of the way and may also allow for a larger print area as the lines wont hit the print.
Ime quite a way off putting it together as need to build the workshop that the printer will live in first but am hopefully going to get started on printing the parts I need soon.
The answer to your question is yes, you can use the firmware as you suggest, even though Hangprinter actually has four anchor points.
The geomery you propose has been discussed in the v2 thread.
Great thanks ill have a look through, will update on progress here.
Hang printer v3 corrections came out today. I think I covered all the issues I have encountered. I do plan on checking out all of your new 3D printed parts in the future. As always, if there is anything I missed or anything you would like me to cover just let me know. Happy to help.
I'll also try using a separate thicker hotend heater-wire for my coming couple of builds, and see if I like it better.
Most of the way through printing the parts for my build now just a few more large gears to go. Got nema 17 steppers an E3D titan aero with volcano for the hot end and extruder. I am also going to be using Duet electronics as I have a spare Duet 0.6 board and have not yet used ramps so am more comfortable configuring the duet. Need to see if I can get hold of an expansion board for my 0.6 though as I am a stepper driver short or steal the duet shield from my Ormerod 2. Not sure if anyone has built one using Duet electronics yet but will see how far I can get. Unfortunately I wont be able to test some of the more advanced duet features as I don't have a Duet Wifi / Ethernet. I also have a precision pezio sensor here that ive not used so my try and hook this up for z homing.
Are you planning on putting Marlin onto the Duet, or will you use RepRapFirmware?
Will you use Mechaduinos/Smart Steppers or open-loop drivers?
Ill be using RepRapFirmware 1.2 beta which supports hang printer although I don't think anyone has actually tested it on actual hardware yet. I haven't got any Mechaduinos/Smart Steppers just going to use the stepper drivers that are one the 0.6 duet with my nema 17s as a starting point to see if I can get the printer built and moving using RepRapFirmware. There is a write up on the Duet3D website for configuring the duet for hang printer and some auto calibration using a Z sensor which I hope to use the precision piezo for.
For the moment I am just going to try and build it from spares I have got here so already have a board and the steppers, just need the bearings and fishing line which I think you put a link to a few pages back. I should be able to test the movement with my current board as it has enough stepper drivers for that, then I can either get an expansion board to give me enough drivers to run the extruder or upgrade to the Duet wifi / Ethernet and see if I can use some of the stall detection features as mentioned on the Duet 3D site. Also thought that I may be able to use some crimped on fishing weights on the line that could be used to activate end stop switches to help with homing but not thinking about that until ive got it up and moving.
If I cant get it running with RepRapFirmware then I will get myself a ramps board and use your branch of Marlin.
Ok nice. I'm very interested in reports on how RepRapFirmware's Hangprinter-implementation works.
Hey all, how are your builds progressing?
Documentation is published straight into the Hangprinter repo: [github.com] You can use Github issues, comments and pull requests, or post in this forum thread if you want to collaborate directly on documentation.
The guide looks great! I really like the template for the top plate as well. I hope to try some of the new zip tie parts on a future build. I have been working on some really large prints, but haven't had time to share them as of late. To many projects, to little time. I watched the Sweden 3D meet up video Tom put out. Great to see the improvements. The printer you had there looked like it was printing really well. Keep up the great work. I will post some updates as soon as I have them.
Hope to start putting mine together shortly. All printed parts are ready. The fishing line and all the bearings arrived last week. I have upgraded my duet 0.6 to the version that suppprts hangprinter. Just need to finish off my workshop now hopefully get the roof and floor in once ime back fron holiday.
The assembly guild looks fab very usefull. Have access to a large format printer at work so will be printing out the layout file as one large print and laminating it onto my ceiling board.
Does somebody here want to attend a super awesome Hangprinter workshop?
I wish I could more than anything. It's just to far. Is there going to be any of these sessions recorded we can watch later?
Thanks. Fingers crossed there will be a US edition one day.
There will be some sort of video production. Not sure about the details, but I'll share and forward everything as much as I can.
I want to connect my Mechaduinos with the 4 channel I2C logic level converter and the Ramps/Arduino. Where can I find a shematic of the electronic wiring?
I afraid there's no proper wiring diagram in the project yet.
12V/24V into the blue connector.
The step/dir signals are taken directly from the sockets of the RAMPS' stepstick sockets without being level shifted.
The Mechaduino can handle 5V directly on its D0 and D1 inputs.
HV on that one would connect to 5V (can be taken from Mechaduino or RAMPS, doesn't matter).
LV would connect to 3V3, which is easiest taken from the Mechaduino.
Some level shifters require you to also connect ground.
Wire all four Mechaduino-side SDA cable into the same electrical node on the low voltage side of the level shifter, for example L1.
Similarly all four Mechaduino SCL goes to for example L2.
12V/24V goes to the 5A input.
Thanks, If I get everything to work, I will support you with a wiring diagram.
Could you maybe post a high-res photograph of your electronics as visual support to your description?
I should mention here that the Mechaduinos' VIN 5V source should be an external voltage regulator device.
I've just used 5V pins on the RAMPS before, and it works, but people who are better with electronics than me say this is a bad practice and might break.
The Mechaduino guys have some advice on how to get nice 5V for VIN. See the Mechaduino manual page 15.
Did anyone here wire the Arduino/Ramps in the right way (hangprinter works!) with a 4 channel I2C logic level converter and Mechaduinos and can post a high-res image?
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 05/23/2018 03:37AM by Dahah.
I am waiting for an answer to my last post. Meanwhile I am going to build the mechanical part. I printed the layout a4 template and taped it all together. There are no calibration lines to put it on the 500 mm x 500 mm top plate. I put everything in place like I saw it on the images in the assembly instructions. But I doubt if I can see the exact position on the images.
Is there anything I have to keep in mind while placing the template on the top plate? Does one lineroller or all D-linerollers need to be in a specific place on the top plate?
I want to use the frame Tobben posted on his blog (Makerfaire Rome) and I wonder if the postions of the top plate will influence the geometry of the "hangprinter in a frame"?
A possible answer to my own question above: The D-linerollers on the "top plate (attached to the sealing)" form a triangle which is exactly the size of the "mover (endeffector)" triangle. The middle point of that triangle has to match the middle point of the triangle from the base of the wooden frame pyramid (Makerfaire Rome) on the floor. It has to match the top point of that pyramid, too.
Hello. it's a great machine !
is it possible to minimise the nacel dimension?
wath is the minimum size of temporary frame.. because I'm planing to built one with frame.
@Dahah Yes, that is correct!
@cdriko Yes, just put the nozzle you want on there and configure it in your slicer. I don't know the minimum size of either nozzle or frame actually. I've never gone small with the Hangprinter myself. But it sure would be interesting!


Lamborghini has been making some big waves recently with the unveiling of their Urus, a veritable supercar SUV. But they just dropped another major bombshell with the announcement that they'll be prepping the Urus for a one-make racing series – including both on- and off-road segments – set for a 2020 debut season. Unveiled alongside the announcement is this absolutely bonkers race-spec ST-X concept – which is actually 25% lighter than its road-going counterparts and includes an exclusive roll cage along with all the other necessary FIA safety gear.
The V8 under the hood still offers 650 hp with 850 foot-pounds of torque (just like the road version), but it's accompanied by bigger front-end air intakes, a new carbon fiber hood, a racing exhaust system, and more. Lamborghini is putting this concept on the fast track, with the official unveiling coming later this year at the 2019 Lamborghini World Finals. Also be sure to check Land Rover Defender 110 Flying Huntsman 6×6 and the best concept cars of largest automakers.

A: Here's a solution using dplyr
library(dplyr)

df %>%
  filter(Run %in% c("Running", "Stop")) %>%
  slice(1:max(which(Run == "Running")))

This gives us:
# A tibble: 7 x 3
  Date     Time     Run
  <chr>    <chr>    <chr>
1 17/04/12 00:25:00 Running

6 18/04/12 00:10:00 Stop
7 18/04/12 00:14:00 Running

A: Along your data analysis journey, you will face this problem often.
If you want to or will have to add more logical checks, you can introduce variables on which you filter. In your case we can simply count the occurrences of Running and Stop. We then use the additional columns to filter your data frame.
library(dplyr)

data %>%
 mutate(  RunCounts = cumsum(Run == "Running")
       , StopCounts = cumsum(Run == "Stop")
       ) %>%
 filter(RunCounts >= 1 & StopCounts < max(StopCounts))

This yields:
# A tibble: 7 x 5
  Date     Time     Run     RunCounts StopCounts
  <chr>    <chr>    <chr>       <int>      <int>
1 17/04/12 00:25:00 Running         1          2
2 17/04/12 00:29:00 Running         2          2
3 17/04/12 00:25:00 Stop            2          3
4 17/04/12 00:29:00 Running         3          3
5 17/04/12 00:30:00 Running         4          3
6 18/04/12 00:10:00 Stop            4          4
7 18/04/12 00:14:00 Running         5          4

You can remove the introduced columns by selecting the ones you are interested in:
data %>% mutate(RunCounts = cumsum(Run == "Running"), StopCounts = cumsum(Run == "Stop")) %>% filter(RunCounts >= 1 & StopCounts < max(StopCounts)) %>% select(Date, Time, Run)
# A tibble: 7 x 3

A pen sketch of 'Blind George', appeared in the Launceston Examiner, 24 December, 1896.
The grave of George Johnson sits lonely under a row of pine trees in section B4 at Carr Villa Memorial Park. Not a skerrick of grass grows around it. Infact George's grave is quite uninteresting… until you have a closer look. It's a long story, but well worth the read.
George Johnson was a well known identity around Launceston. He was know by most as 'Blind George', because he was completely blind. He would spend most of his evenings singing to passers by on the streets of Launceston and selling matchsticks, hoping to collect whatever coins they could spare for him. People gave generously to George when they could, as everyone knew that George lived in poor circumstances.
In August 1912 George became gravely ill and passed away at the Launceston Hospital at around sixty years old, although nobody really knew how old he was. George died without a Will – after all, his wife had died many years before, he had no children and no other family that anyone knew of.
As was common in those days, it was he responsibility of the police to go into the home of a deceased person and seize anything of value. If there was no Will, as was the case with George, any items of value would be sold, and the money would go to the Government coffers.
Initially they found nothing of interest – his sparsely furnished room on Wellington Street had some old furniture, but nothing thought to be of any value. When they looked under his bed however, they found a locked chest that was so heavy they needed two policemen to carry it back to the station. The lock was picked, and inside they found packets and packets of coins wrapped up in paper – over 4000 coins – florins, crowns, shillings, six pence and gold. After many hours of counting, they came up with a total of over £600, which included some money in a bank account – an amount with the buying power of about $40,000 today.
The local charities in Launceston pleaded with the Government to donate the money to them, as it had been given as charity in the first place. The Government would not budge, they said that it had not been done before, and they would not start doing it now. They did agree however, to fund a modest funeral for George and to provide him with a headstone, which they did. The headstone however, had many mistakes. Some of George's friends pooled their money together and paid for the headstone to be re-done on the other side, with corrections.
The reverse side of the headstone, re-done by his friends. Can you spot the differences?
