[0001] This Application is a continuation in part of a provisional patent application Filed Sep. 9, 2011, entitled "Novel and Aerodynamically Efficient Sailboat Mast", Ser. No. 61/573,129, to which priority is claimed and the contents of which are incorporated by reference.
STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERAL SPONSORSHIP
[0002] Embodiments of the present invention were conceived and made without Federal sponsorship.
[0003] The present invention relates to aerodynamic lift devices for watercraft, ice craft and land craft which are powered wind.
[0004] Unless the context of the text requires otherwise, the term "craft" means any vehicle, watercraft, or ice craft. Examples of a vehicle would include wheeled vehicles and the like. Watercraft comprise by way of example, without limitation single, multihull and hydrofoil vessels. As used herein, ice craft comprise vehicles having skis and/or skate like blades for traveling over ice or snow surfaces.
[0005] As used herein, the term "mast" will mean a rigid structural member projecting in a generally vertical direction from a deck or base to which it is attached. A "stay" is rigid or flexible structural member providing lateral support to a mast to which it is attached. A stay is generally attached to a mast at a point away from the mast's point of attachment at a deck or base, that is, up the mast, and secured to the deck or mast away from, or distal to the attachment of the mast to the deck or base.
[0006] As used herein, the term "sail" means a flexible sheet in the nature of fabric, membrane, or sheet used to capture wind or provide an aerodynamic lift.
[0007] It is desirable to have a sailing mast capable of carrying rigid aerodynamic lift surfaces that can be controlled through all wind directions, and structurally robust to also carry one or more sails.
[0008] Embodiments of the present invention feature a device capable of carrying rigid aerodynamic lift surfaces that can be controlled through all wind directions, and is structurally robust for carrying one or more sails and methods of using such mast. One embodiment is directed to a device for powering a craft by aerodynamic forces. For example, without limitation, the craft has a mast member having a base end, a top end and an elongated body. The base end is constructed and arranged for attachment to a base of a craft and the top end has one or more stay attachment points for at least one stay. The at least one stay has a mast securing end and a craft securing end. The at least one stay and the elongated body define at least one cone of rotation when secured to the craft and mast member. At least one of the cones of rotation is a minimal cone of rotation. The device comprises a fairing member constructed and arranged for rotational attachment to the mast and substantially encasing the elongated body. The fairing member has a base end and a top end corresponding to the mast member and has a first section and a second section. The first section extends from the base towards a point inside the minimum cone of rotation. The first section has a symmetrical aerofoil cross-sectional shape with a projecting rounded forward face and an extending tapered back. The second section extend from the first section to the about the top end and has a cross-sectional shape, a second forward face and a second back. The second forward face projecting no further than and substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation, and the second back extending no further than and substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation. The fairing member can be rotated a full rotation about the mast to assume one or more positions relative to a wind to provide aerodynamic lift and one or more positions in which the fairing member provides no aerodynamic lift.
[0009] The fairing member allows the mast member, supported and stabilized by one or more stays, to withstand extreme wind conditions. The fairing can be released to feather in the wind, in the position in which no aerodynamic lift is generated, without interference from the stays. The device, fitted to a conventional mast equipped with stays, permits retrofitting of craft formerly fitted with sails.
[0010] One embodiment features a fairing member having a fairing length and the forward face and extending tapered back define a fairing chord distance. The chord distance is approximately constant in the first section. The ratio of the fairing length and fairing chord distance is between 5:1 and 60:1. A further embodiment features a ratio of the fairing length and fairing chord distance is between 8:1 and 45:1. And, in a further embodiment the fairing length and fairing chord ratio is between 9:1 and 35:1.
[0011] An embodiment of the present invention further comprises a flap. The flap has a first flap section and a second flap section. The first flap section has a symmetrical aerofoil shape having a flap front and a flap back, and having a flap chord extending therebetween. The flap is moveably affixed at the flap front to the extending tapered back of the fairing. The flap first section extends from the tapered back of the fairing member, from the base to a point inside the minimum cone of rotation by a distance of the flap chord. The second flap section extends from the first flap section to the approximately the second section of the fairing member and having a flap back edge substantially parallel to and inside the minimum cone of rotation. The flap is moveable to assume one or more positions relative to the fairing member to increase aerodynamic lift or moveable to assume a position in which the flap provides no aerodynamic lift.
[0012] One embodiment of the present device features a fairing member having a fairing length and the forward fairing face and flap back define a fairing flap chord distance which is approximately constant through the first flap section, the ratio of the fairing length and fairing flap chord distance is between 5:1 and 60:1. And, in a further embodiment the ratio of the fairing length and fairing flap chord distance is between 8:1 and 45:1. And, in a further embodiment the fairing length and fairing flap chord ratio is between 9:1 and 35:1.
[0013] The embodiments of the present device feature fairing member having an exterior shell selected from the group of materials consisting of plastic, aluminum, fiber glass, carbon fiber and fabric. Non-rigid materials need to be placed over a structural skeleton or a core. A core allows rigid exterior shell materials to be used in a manner minimizing thickness. Core materials are selected from the group consisting of expanded plastic foam, balsa wood and honeycomb materials. A preferred core has an axial hollow for rotationally receiving the mast.
[0014] Embodiments of the present device further comprising one or more bearing means interposed between the fairing member and the mast. The bearing members reduce friction between the fairing member and the mast.
[0015] Embodiments of the present device feature fairing control means for compelling said fairing member to assume a position with respect to the wind. And, embodiments which comprise a fairing member and flap, at least one of the fairing member and flap has flap control means for compelling the flap to assume a position with respect to the wind.
[0016] One embodiment of the present device comprises a mast. However, the device can readily be fitted to existing masts. Similarly, the device may further comprise a craft body. The mast is secured to the craft body by at least one head stay. One embodiment features at least one head stay that carries a sail. Preferably, the sail is fitted to a boom and the boom extends from about the head stay at the craft body to a point towards the mast allowing the fairing member, and if the device comprises a fairing member and flap, allowing the fairing member and flap, to freely rotate.
[0017] A further embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method for powering a craft by aerodynamic forces. The craft has a mast member having a base end, a top end and an elongated body, with the base end constructed and arranged for attachment to a base of a craft and the top end having one or more stay attachment points for at least one stay. The at least one stay having a mast securing end and a craft securing end, the at least one stay and the elongated body defining at least one cone of rotation when secured to the craft and mast member, and at least one of the cones of rotation being a minimal cone of rotation. The method comprises the step of providing a device having a fairing member constructed and arranged for rotational attachment to the mast and encasing substantially the elongated body. The fairing member has a base end and a top end corresponding to the mast member and has a first fairing section and a second fairing section. The first fairing section extends from the base towards a point inside the minimum cone of rotation. The first fairing section has a symmetrical aerofoil cross-sectional shape with a projecting rounded forward face and an extending tapered back. The second fairing section extends from the first section to the about the top end and has a cross-sectional shape a second forward face and a second back. The second forward face projects no further than and substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation, and the second back extends no further than and substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation. Thus, the fairing member can be rotated a full rotation about the mast to assume one or more positions relative to a wind to provide aerodynamic lift and one or more positions in which the fairing member provides no aerodynamic lift. The method further comprises the step of rotating the fairing member to assume the one or more positions relative to the wind to provide aerodynamic lift to power the craft and rotating or allowing the fairing member to passively assume the one or more positions in which the fairing member provides no aerodynamic lift when it is desired to maintain the craft in an unpowered state.
[0018] Embodiments of the present method further comprise a device having a fairing and a flap. The method further comprises the step of rotating the flap to provide aerodynamic lift to power the craft and rotating or allowing the flap to passively assume the one or more positions in which the flap provides no aerodynamic lift when it is desired to maintain the craft in an unpowered state.
[0019] These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon viewing the Drawings and reading the detailed description that follows.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as a device having rigid aerodynamic lift surfaces that can be controlled through all wind directions, and comprising or used in conjunction with a mast and a sailing vessel, such as a single hulled or multi-hulled boat. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the device may be used on land craft or ice boats as well. The depictions of the device used on watercraft feature larger vessels with the understanding that smaller vessels and crafts, including simple board-like craft can readily be used with embodiments of the present invention. These described embodiments exemplify the best mode of the invention and the manner of making and using such invention. However, embodiments of the present invention are subject to modification and alteration and the best mode contemplated may change over time.
[0028] Turning now to FIG. 1, a vessel, generally designated by the numeral 11, is depicted having a device 15, embodying features of the present invention for powering a vessel 11 by aerodynamic forces. The device 15 is depicted in partial cutaway, to reveal a mast member 17.
[0029] The mast member 17 has a base end 21, a top end 23 and an elongated body 25. As depicted in FIGS. 2 and 3, elongated member 25 is cylindrical in shape with a substantially round, circular cross-section, although other cross-sectional shapes may be used. The base end 21 is fixed to a base of a vessel 11. A typical mast member for a twenty-five foot monohull vessel is about twenty five to thirty feet. Multihull vessels typically will have longer mast members for their respective hull length. As best seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the top end 23 has a masthead 33 with one or more stay attachment points of which three are shown, designated 27a and 27b for stays directed to the stern of the vessel 11 and 27c for a single stay directed to the bow or forward part of the vessel 11.
[0030] As seen in FIG. 2, each stay 27a, 27b and 27c has a mast securing end 31a, 31b and 31c fixed to the mast member 17 or, as depicted to a mast head 33 fixed to the top end 23 of mast member 17. And, each stay 27a, 27b and 27c has a craft securing end 35a, 35b and 35c fixed to the craft 11. The stays 27a, 27b and 27c are positioned and constructed to provide the mast with support. Typically, stays 27a, 27b and 27c are stainless steel cables, however, other materials such as carbon fibers, plastics and metals may be used as cables or solid supports may be used. Loads placed on the mast member 17 are transferred to the stays 27a, 27b and 27c and to the craft 11 to provide a robust structure capable of operating in extreme wind conditions.
[0031] Each stay 27a, 27b and 27c and the elongated body 25 define at least one cone of rotation 41a and 41b, if rotated in space. That is, a triangle occupying the space between the elongated member and a stay 27a, 27b, or 27 will form a cone shape when rotated about the center of the elongated member 25. Stays 27a and 27b share a common cone of rotation 41a because stays 27a and 27b are fixed to a common point at mast head 33 and an equal distance from the mast base 21. Referring now to FIG. 1, the cone of rotation 41a for the two back stays 27a and 27b is depicted in dotted lines 43a and 43b and the back stay 27a. This cone of rotation is the available space for rotation about the elongated member without interfering with the stay.
[0032] Referring to FIG. 2, forward stay 27c defines a larger cone of rotation 41b which is shown only in part due to the limitation of drawing space. Of the two cones of rotation 41a and 41b, cone of rotation 41a is smaller and is a minimal cone of rotation. As used herein, the minimum cone of rotation means the cone of rotation closest to the mast member 17 for a given point above the mast base 21.
[0033] Now returning to FIG. 1, the device 15 comprises a fairing member 51 constructed and arranged for rotational attachment to the mast member 17 and substantially encasing the elongated body 25. The fairing member 51 has a base end 53 and a top end 55 corresponding to the mast member 17. The fairing member 51 has a first section 59 and a second section 61. The first section 59 has a symmetrical aerofoil cross-sectional shape with a projecting rounded forward face 63 and an extending tapered back 65. The first section 59 extends from the base end 53 upwards along the forward face 63 and tapered back 65 to a point inside the minimum cone of rotation 41a.
[0034] The second section 61 extends from such point inside the minimum cone of rotation 41a to the about the top end 55 and has a cross-sectional shape, a second forward face 67 and a second back 69. The second forward face 67 projects no further than and is substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation 41a. The second back 69 extends no further than and is substantially parallel to said minimum cone of rotation. The cross-sectional shape of second section 61 starting at the first section 59 and moving up, has the appearance of the first section 59 depicted in FIG. 3 and moves toward a more circular shape and the second forward face 67 and second back 69 moves closer to the center of the axis of rotation.
[0035] Thus, the fairing member 51 can be rotated a full rotation about the mast 17 to assume one or more positions relative to a wind to provide aerodynamic lift and one or more positions in which the fairing member provides no aerodynamic lift. The fairing can be released to feather in the wind, in the position in which no aerodynamic lift is generated, without interference from the stays.
[0036] As can best be seen in FIG. 1, the fairing member 51 has a fairing length defined by the top end 55 and base end 53. And, turning to FIG. 3, the forward face 63 and extending tapered back 65 define a fairing chord distance denoted by bracket FC. The chord distance, returning now to FIG. 1, is approximately constant in the first section 59. The ratio of the fairing length and fairing chord distance is between 5:1 and 60:1. A further embodiment features a ratio of the fairing length and fairing chord distance is between 8:1 and 45:1. Some embodiments of the present fairing feature a fairing length and fairing chord ratio of 9:1 and 35:1.
[0037] Returning now to FIG. 3, fairing member 51 has an exterior shell 79 selected from the group of materials consisting of plastic, aluminum, fiber glass, carbon fiber, plastic sheets (such as Mylar) or foil and fabric. Non-rigid materials, such as plastic sheets, foil fabric are preferably to be placed over a structural skeleton [not shown] or a core 81, as illustrated. Core 81 allows rigid exterior shell materials, such as plastic, aluminum, fiberglass and carbon fiber to be used in a manner minimizing thickness. As illustrated the core 81 supports an exterior shell 79 comprising fiber glass. Materials suitable for the core 81 are selected from the group consisting of expanded plastic foam, balsa wood and honeycomb materials.
[0038] Fairing member 51 has an axial hollow 83 for rotationally receiving the mast member 17. One or more bearing means are interposed between and affixed to or held in place by at least one of the fairing member 51 and mast member 17. Bearing means comprise such bearing articles such as low friction bushings 85 and rotatable bearing cylinders or balls with races and the like [not shown]. The bearing members reduce friction between the fairing member 51 and the mast member 17.
[0039] The fairing member 51 allows the mast member 17, supported and stabilized by one or more stays 27a, 27b and 27c, to withstand extreme wind conditions. The fairing member 51 does not bear significant compression forces associated with the structural mast member 17 and stays 27a, 27b and 27c. The device, fitted to a conventional mast equipped with stays, permits retrofitting of craft formerly fitted with sails.
[0040] The fairing member 51 has been depicted and described as a unitary structure. However, the fairing member 51 can be made in segments [not shown] which stack and fit to each other. The segments can be assembled for different mast heights or with different first sections 59 and second sections 61 to accommodate different vessels.
[0041] Turning now, again, to FIG. 1, a further embodiment of device 15 comprises a flap 91. The flap has a first flap section 93 and a second flap section 95. As best seen in FIG. 3 the first flap section 93 has a symmetrical aerofoil cross sectional shape, and has a flap front 97 and a flap back 99. The flap back 99 and flap front 97 define a flap chord extending therebetween designated by bracket EC, as best seen in FIG. 3. The flap 91 is moveably affixed at the flap front 97 to the extending tapered back 65 of the fairing member 51 by cooperating hinges, pins and retaining holes and the like [not shown] known in the art. The flap first section 93 extends from the tapered back 65 of the fairing member 51, from the base 53 to a point inside the minimum cone of rotation 41a by a distance of the flap chord EC. Returning to FIG. 1, the second flap section 95 extends from the first flap section 93 to the approximately the second section 61 of the fairing member 51. The second flap section 95 has a back edge 101 substantially parallel to and inside minimum cone of rotation 41a. The flap 91 is moveable to assume one or more positions relative to the fairing member to increase aerodynamic lift or moveable to assume a position in which the flap provides no aerodynamic lift.
[0042] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3 the device features a fairing member having a fairing length and the forward fairing face 63 and flap back 97 which define a fairing flap chord distance denoted by bracket TC. The total fairing flap chord length is approximately constant in the first flap section, the ratio of said fairing length and fairing flap chord distance is between 5:1 and 60:1. And, in a further embodiment the ratio of said fairing length and fairing flap chord distance is between 8:1 and 45:1. Some embodiments of the present fairing feature a fairing length and fairing flap chord ratio of 9:1 and 35:1.
[0043] The flap 91 is made in a manner similar to the fairing member with a core and shell or is a solid piece of light weight material such as plastic, fiber glass, light weight metals, or carbon fiber.
[0044] The device 15 has fairing control means for compelling said fairing member 51 to assume a position with respect to the wind. The fairing control means comprises one or more arms projecting from the fairing member which are pushed or pulled by lines or hydraulics or fitted with gears or wheels for turning the fairing member 51. FIG. 3 depicts two control arms 103a and 103b projecting from the sides of the fairing member 51. The control arms are preferably fitted with lines which would be powered by winches. The control arms 103a and 103b are located about the base 53 of the fairing member 51.
[0045] The device 15 has flap control means for compelling the flap to assume a position with respect to the wind. Flap control means comprise one or more flap control arms projecting from at least one of the fairing member 51 or flap 91 which are pushed or pulled by lines or hydraulics or fitted with gears of wheels for turning the flap 91 with respect to the fairing member 51. As best seen in FIG. 3, as illustrated, flap control means in the form of flap control arms 105a and 105b project from each side of the flap 91 and are controlled by flap control lines which travel through line channels [not shown] running down the fairing member to the base 53.
[0046] The fairing member 51 rests on base bearings 107 allowing the fairing member 51 to rotate about the mast member 17. The fairing member 51 does not need to carry the weight and structural load of the mast member 17 and stays 27a, 27b and 27c and can assume positions influenced by the wind when control means are not determining the position. That is, the fairing member 51 can be readily feathered, in a non-powering position.
[0047] The device 15 may have an integrated mast member 17 or can readily be fitted to existing masts. Similarly, the device 15 may be integrated into a craft such as craft 11. As illustrated craft 11 features at least one head stay 27c that carries a sail 111. The sail 111 is fitted to a boom 113. The boom 113 extends from about the head stay 27c to a point towards the mast member 17 allowing said fairing member 51, and if the device comprises a fairing member 51 and flap 91, allowing the fairing member 51 and flap 91, to freely rotate.
[0048] The method of the present invention for powering a craft 11 will now be described with respect to the operation of the device 15 with respect to FIGS. 1 and 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d. The craft 11 has a mast member 17 having a base end 21, a top end 23 and an elongated body 25. The base end 21 is attached to the craft 11 and the top end 23 has a mast head 33 with stay attachment points. Each stay 27a, 27b and 27c is secured to the mast member 17 and the craft 11 defining at least one cone of rotation and at least one of said cone of rotation being a minimal cone of rotation. The method comprises the step of providing a device 15 having a fairing member 51 constructed and arranged for rotational attachment to the mast member 17 and substantially encasing the elongated body 25. The fairing member 51 has a base end 53 and a top end 55 corresponding to the mast member 17 and has a first fairing section 59 and a second fairing section 61. The first fairing section 59 extends from the base towards a point inside the minimum cone of rotation 41a. The first fairing section 59 has a symmetrical aerofoil cross-sectional shape with a projecting rounded forward face 63 and an extending tapered back 65. The second fairing section 61 extends from the first fairing section 59 to the about the top end 55 and has a cross-sectional shape a second forward face 67 and a second back 69. The second forward face 67 projects no further than and substantially parallel to the minimum cone of rotation 41a, and the second back 69 extends no further than and substantially parallel to said minimum cone of rotation 41a.
[0049] Thus, the fairing member 51 can be rotated a full rotation about the mast to assume one or more positions relative to a wind to provide aerodynamic lift and one or more positions in which the fairing member provides no aerodynamic lift. Turning now to FIG. 4A, the step of rotating the fairing member 51 to assume a position in which no aerodynamic lift is provided is illustrated, for example when the vessel is steered directly into the wind or the vessel is at anchor and the fairing member is allowed to feather.
[0050] FIG. 4B depicts fairing member 51 rotated to provide aerodynamic lift with wind approaching the craft from a 2 o'clock position. FIG. 4C depicts the fairing member 51 rotated to provide aerodynamic lift with the wind approaching from a 4 o'clock position.
[0051] FIG. 4D depicts the fairing member 51 allowed to feather or freely rotate about the mast member 17 as wind approaches the craft from the 5 o'clock position, assuming a position in which no aerodynamic lift is generated. This position is important where the craft may be experiencing extreme winds in a storm.
[0052] FIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d depict the fairing member 51 and flap 91. Fairing member 51 and flap 91 are used in conjunction to increase the efficiency of device 15. The flap is set relative to the wind and fairing member 51 to increase aerodynamic lift or if no lift is desired allowed to feather of left in line with the fairing member 51. For example, referring to FIG. 4A, no lift is desired while a craft 11 is stationary as a watercraft at anchor. The flap 91 is set inline with or allowed to assume a position in line with fairing member 51.
[0053] FIG. 4B depicts fairing member 51 rotated to provide aerodynamic lift with wind approaching the craft from a 2 o'clock position and flap 91 set to provide additional aerodynamic lift by being pulled in with respect to the direction of the wind. FIG. 4C depicts the fairing member 51 rotated to provide aerodynamic lift with the wind approaching from a 4 o'clock position and flap 91 set to provide additional aerodynamic lift by being pulled in with respect to the direction of the wind.
[0054] FIG. 4D depicts the fairing member 51 allowed to feather or freely rotate about the mast member 17 as wind approaches the craft from the 5 o'clock position assuming a position in which no aerodynamic lift is generated and flap 91 is held in an inline position or freely rotate to assume such inline position also providing no aerodynamic lift. Again, this position is important where the craft may be experiencing extreme winds in a storm.
[0055] Thus, we have described the device and methods of making and using the device. The device has rigid aerodynamic lift surfaces that can be controlled through all wind directions, and is structurally robust for carrying one or more sails. Embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated herein are the best mode presently contemplated for making and using the invention and as such are capable of modification and alteration. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to the precise details set forth herein but should encompass such subject matter of the claims that follow and their equivalents.

Today's San Francisco was born out of the 19th century gold rush, and it quickly grew into one of the biggest cities in California. It is now one of the most dynamic cities in the country, and a favorite with tourists. Just some of the things you can do on your visit include traveling the hilly streets by cable car, walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, and trying some of the fantastic seafood at Fisherman's Wharf. There are also some excellent museums too see like the famous Alcatraz Island prison, which housed notorious criminals like Al Capone. The beautiful city of San Francisco is full of historic and scenic spots perfect for going out on the town or relaxing.
The city center is 22 km from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and you can get there by either train or bus. There is a BART Station Airtrain that goes from inside the airport or the Public Bus that leaves from terminal 3 to the city center.
To get from San Francisco Airport to Cow Palace by cab costs about USD 35, USD 45 to the city center, and USD 55 to Fisherman's Wharf. You also have to pay a USD 2 surcharge to leave the airport by taxi.

Sen. Susan Collins Explains Why She Doesn't Believe Kavanaugh Will Vote to Overturn Roe v. Wade
CNSNews.com Staff | October 7, 2018 | 11:11am EDT
Sen. Susan Collins and Judge Brett Kavanaugh (Screen Capture)
(CNSNews.com) - When Sen. Susan Collins went to the House floor on Friday to say that she was going to vote for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, she explained why she did not believe Kavanaugh would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.
She suggested, instead, that he would be like Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy and David Souter—all of whom, she noted, were appointed by Republican presidents at a time when the Republican platform called for overturning Roe.
All joined in the Supreme Court's 1992 opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey opinion that upheld Roe.
Most notably, Collins said in her explanation of why she was not worried that Kavanaugh would overturn Roe that Kavanaugh had told her when they were discussing his nomination that he did not think five sitting justices—a majority of the nine member court—would be a sufficient number "to overturn long-established precedent."
This was after he had testified, she noted, that Roe--upheld by Casey--was "precedent on precedent."
"Finally, in his testimony, he noted repeatedly that Roe had been upheld by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, describing it as precedent on precedent," said Collins in her floor speech. "When I asked him whether it would be sufficient to overturn a long-established precedent if five current Justices believed it was wrongly decided, he emphatically said no."
Here is the transcript of the section in Collins's speech on Kavanaugh where she discusses Roe v. Wade:
"There has also been considerable focus on the future of abortion rights based on the concern that Judge Kavanaugh would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. Protecting this right is important to me. To my knowledge, Judge Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court nominee to express the view that precedent is not merely a practice and tradition but rooted in article III of our Constitution itself.
"He believes precedent 'is not just a judicial policy…it is constitutionally dictated to pay attention and pay heed to rules of precedent.' In other words, precedent isn't a goal or an aspiration; it is a constitutional tenet that has to be followed except in the most extraordinary circumstances.
"The judge further explained that precedent provides stability, predictability, reliance, and fairness. There are, of course, rare and extraordinary times where the Supreme Court would rightly overturn a precedent. The most famous example was when the Supreme Court, in Brown v. Board of Education, overruled Plessy v. Ferguson, correcting a ''grievously wrong'' decision, to use the judge's term, allowing racial inequality.
"But someone who believes the importance of precedent has been rooted in the Constitution would follow long-established precedent except in those rare circumstances in which a decision is 'grievously wrong' or 'deeply inconsistent with the law.' Those are Judge Kavanaugh's phrases.
"As the judge asserted to me, a long-established precedent is not something to be trimmed, narrowed, discarded, or overlooked. Its roots in the Constitution give the concept of stare decisis greater weight such that the precedent can't be trimmed or narrowed simply because a judge might want to on a whim. In short, his views on honoring precedent would preclude attempts to do by stealth that which one has committed not to do overtly.
"Noting that Roe v. Wade was decided 45 years ago and reaffirmed 19 years later in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, I asked Judge Kavanaugh whether the passage of time is relevant to following precedent. He said decisions become part of our legal framework with the passage of time and that honoring precedent is essential to maintaining public confidence.
"Our discussion then turned to the right of privacy, on which the Supreme Court relied in Griswold v. Connecticut, a case that struck down a law banning the use and sale of contraceptives. Griswold established the legal foundation that led to Roe 8 years later. In describing Griswold as 'settled law,' Judge Kavanaugh observed that it was the correct application of two famous cases from the 1920s, Meyer and Pierce, that are not seriously challenged by anyone today.
"Finally, in his testimony, he noted repeatedly that Roe had been upheld by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, describing it as precedent on precedent. When I asked him whether it would be sufficient to overturn a long-established precedent if five current Justices believed it was wrongly decided, he emphatically said no.
"Opponents frequently cite then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign pledge to nominate only judges who would overturn Roe. The Republican platform for all Presidential campaigns has included this pledge since at least 1980. During this time, Republican Presidents have appointed Justices O'Connor, Souter, and Kennedy to the Supreme Court. These are the very three Republican President-appointed Justices who authored the Casey decision which reaffirmed Roe.
"Furthermore, pro-choice groups vigorously opposed each of these Justices' nominations. Incredibly, they even circulated buttons with the slogan: 'Stop Souter or Women Will Die!' Just 2 years later, Justice Souter coauthored that Casey opinion, reaffirming a woman's right to choose. Suffice it to say, prominent advocacy organizations have been wrong.
"These same interest groups have speculated that Judge Kavanaugh was selected to do the bidding of conservative ideologues, despite his record of judicial independence. I asked the judge point-blank whether he had made any commitments or pledges to anyone at the White House, to the Federalist Society, or to any outside group on how he would decide cases. He unequivocally assured me he had not."

Eine Duplexweiche wird bei duplexfähigen Funkgeräten verwendet, um die Funkantenne gleichzeitig an Sender und Empfänger anzuschalten. Voraussetzung ist die Verwendung eines Duplexkanals, also eines Frequenzpaares, bei der Sende- und Empfangsfrequenz um einen festen Duplexabstand versetzt sind. Diese beiden Frequenzen heißen dann Ober- und Unterband.

Einige beispielhafte Funkanwendungen, welche unter anderem Duplexweichen verwenden können, sind:
 Amateurfunkdienst
 Betriebsfunk
 BOS-Funk
 Analoger Zugbahnfunk
 Seefunk
 Historische Funktelefonnetze wie in Deutschland das A-Netz, B-Netz und C-Netz

Wegen ihrer Größe wird eine Duplexweiche in der Regel nur in Feststationen oder in eingeschränkt tragbaren Mobilfunkgeräten eingebaut.

Im BOS-Funk ist in den Mobilfunkgeräten (FuG-8b und FuG-9b) zur Erhöhung der Flexibilität der Funkanwendung die Weiche nicht fest an Sender oder Empfänger gekoppelt. Durch eine Relaisschaltung kann so je nach gewählter Betriebs- und Verkehrsart die Weiche umgeschaltet werden. Diese vier Schaltungen sind möglich:

Maybe you've seen SOL REPUBLIC Savior Of Sound Jessie Andrews in a American Apparel ad, shot by Terri Richardson or caught one of her DJ sets in LA or NYC. As a self-described modern woman and multitalented artist, she is constantly on the move and insists on traveling light. Shadow Wireless in-ear headphones are the perfect match for her active life – they deliver powerful sound from a lightweight design without any compromise on style.
Jessie took time out from her busy schedule to do an exclusive photoshoot and interview just for Sol Republic. Check out the pics and Q&A below to find out more about her day-to-day, music influences, and why she is likes to live her life with NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
How was your shoot with us? What was playing in the background?
The shoot was great! Dirk Mai and I drove around LA and shot a ton of photos; it was very relaxed and easy. We played a lot of Tame Impala!
You were given creative freedom for the shoot; what was your inspiration?
Shadow Wireless is all about incredible sound with 'no strings attached,' and I used that as inspiration throughout the shoot. We shot at the beach, in the desert, in my house and in a studio. We weren't tied to one location or any other restrictions.
What is your definition of a Modern Woman?
It has an ever changing definition. Right now, it's about losing myself and finding myself at the same time. Having self control and consistency. Showing women you don't need a power in your life, you are the Power; letting them know anything they want to do, they can.
How did DJing become part of your life?
I came to LA in 2010 and was welcomed with open arms by a collective of DJ friends downtown. I loved watching what they do. I became addicted to the feeling you get while playing. And I never wanted to stop.
Where do you find your music influences?
If I hear a song I like in the grocery store or at a club that really sticks out, I Shazam it. I'll always love 80s and 90s songs but the new age artists speak to me and where I am in life right now. I relate deeper with them.
Can you tell us a bit about how your Usually Deep EP came together?
I wanted people to know what they were getting in to when they come to see me DJ in a club. It's a series of EPs and the tracks are a usually deep (hence the name). I eventually want to play an entire set of my own music.
You are always busy with DJing, modeling, and acting . What's your day-to-day life like?
If I'm not on tour, then my day is a giant melting pot of yoga, running, errands, meeting friends for food, shooting, social media, or meetings deep in the jewelry district.
What's your secret for staying focused and proactive?
To do everything in moderation. I don't just focus on one thing a day; it's always a mix to keep me interested and on top. If I was doing repetitive work I'd get bored and lazy, just going through the motions. But I love learning, growing, and asking myself what's next.
In a recent interview you mentioned being on the L train in Williamsburg. What's your favorite place to eat and favorite place to hear live music in Brooklyn?
I definitely love Output. BK has so many good places to eat it's hard to choose. I try not to eat at the same place twice.
Favorite restaurant and club in LA?
Right now it's Joan's on 3rd, Nice Guy and Stamped Proper Foods, but I go through phases and just eat at one place all the time. It's kind of bad because I burn them out (haha). Favorite club would have to be Exchange in downtown LA.
What was your last no strings attached relationship? Is there a particular song that reminds you of it?
I feel like I only have no strings attached relationships! I never expect anything out of anyone and I hope they don't expect anything out of me. No one should have to feel attached. I love the freedom of being able to do what I want, when I want. I have no strings in my life. And I don't want to be a string. With every different relationship the soundtrack in the background changes into a song reminds me of them, or maybe their favorite song. And if not it's definitely a Weeknd song!
What do you like most about your new Shadow Wireless in-ear headphones?
I really like when I'm running and there's no strings going from my earbuds to my hands. So I can run freely, hop off the treadmill and do some exercises, then hop back on and not have to drag anything with me. I love using Shadow on the New York subway; it's easy to tie around your neck or tuck under your shirt. Bluetooth is such an amazing invention, and I'm glad SOL has paired it with an amazing device like Shadow Wireless.
Do you have any new projects or music you'd like to share with us?
I've just finished a single. It's taken me ages to do!! I'm about to do Stereosonic in Australia this summer. This will be the first big festival run I've ever done. Then a few shows before the new year., and lots of writing sessions. I am preparing for 2016!

One of the longest running television shows makes an appearance in Warehouse Skateboards' stock: presenting the Cruiser series from Penny Skateboards dedicated to The Simpsons!
Already assembled for your convenience, the plastic Cruiser comes ready to skate and includes trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware, and grip tape. The deck measures 7.5" by 27" and features one of six characters from the iconic series.
Among the first to develop original plastic skateboards, Penny Skateboards was first introduced to the industry in the mid-1970s before temporarily fading from popularity. The company has since made an awesome comeback with modern manufacturing making Penny boards long-lasting and high performance options. Penny boards, averaging at only 22 inches, are smaller than most skateboards, which typically range from around 30 to 32 inches. This tends to make their products popular among female shredders, but anyone can appreciate the light and durable designs for which Penny is known!
All boards in this collection feature a classic waffle top on a non-slip deck and 59mm 83A wheels, ensuring the smoothest ride. These boards are a hit item in our stores – order today!

the 6th International LafargeHolcim Forum for Sustainable Construction is to take place in Cairo, Egypt, from the 4th till the 6th of April 2019
حلول وتطبيقات
The 6th International LafargeHolcim Forum for Sustainable Construction will be dedicated to the topic of "Re-materializing Construction". Keynote speeches, workshops and site visits will focus on strategies to reduce consumption throughout the material life cycle from extraction to processing, transport, installation, maintenance, and removal. It will pursue the question of how the building and construction industry can adapt to reduce its ecological footprint. Keynote speeches will be delivered and discussions led by renowned experts such as Lord Norman Foster, Chairman & Founder, Foster + Partners, United Kingdom and Francis Kéré (Principal, Kéré Architecture, Germany), among many others.
Being one of the leading international symposia for academics, experts, researches and practitioners in the building and construction sector, around 300 experts from around the world meet every three years to discuss challenges of today's urbanization processes and built environment. Egypt was selected to host this year's event due to its current efforts to save its rich cultural heritage spanning over 8,000 years, its techniques of archeological restoration to safeguard and maintain ancient monuments as well as its expansion in building new cities and current unprecedented economic growth.
On this occasion General Manager Edward Schwarz said that the LafargeHolcim Foundation is delighted to hold the Forum in Egypt for the first time. "I would like to present our sincere gratitude to his Excellency Dr. Assem El Gazar, Minister of Housing, for holding the event under his auspices" he said. Schwarz added that the Forum aims to suggest solutions to address the technological, environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural issues affecting building and construction. He also noted that the Foundation is grateful to be working hand in hand with the AUC, host of the April event. "We greatly rely on their competent support and technical expertise to make the Forum a success,'' he said.
In the same context, Hussein Mansi, CEO of Lafarge Egypt, said that organizing the sixth International LafargeHolcim Forum for Sustainable Construction in Egypt- the first Middle East and African country to host the event- is a recognition to Egypt's great history and its 40-year learning curve across efforts to urbanize the desert through the launch of a large number of new cities and national mega projects across the country. Mansi also noted that this Forum is one of the most important platforms to host discussions about how to achieve a quantum leap in the field of construction and sustainability of urban communities, thus effectively contributing to the sustainable development activities of LafargeHolcim. He also stressed that having so many experts from around the world in Cairo sends a positive message about Egypt's capabilities in organizing international conferences highlighting that the Forum was organized in previous rounds in Switzerland, the United States, Mexico, India and China.
Additionally, Dr. Alaa-Eldin Adris, Associate Provost for Research, Innovation and Creativity at The American University in Cairo said that choosing AUC to be the host of this important international event reflects the cultural and developmental role played by the University in Egypt. He added that AUC, which celebrates its centennial this year, has ambitious plans to grow its outreach and community engagements, including those with industries, government and non-governmental institutions, on scientific and cultural fronts.

Home MMA News Israel Adesanya Israel Adesanya welcomes Jon Jones challenge
Israel Adesanya welcomes Jon Jones challenge
Image via @ufc on Instagram
Israel Adesanya is currently working on conquering the UFC middleweight division, as he's set to battle Kelvin Gastelum for interim gold at UFC 236. From the sounds of it, however, there could be a move to light heavyweight division in his future, as he's recently been flirting with the notion of super fight with reigning champ Jon Jones.
Speaking to Submission Radio recently, Israel Adesanya said that this is a challenge he looks forward to.
"Jones and [Anderson] Silva have spoken about fighting each other for years as well, but that never came to fruition," Adesanya said of this matchup (transcript via MMA Mania). "This I feel is different. So yeah, I look forward to that challenge as well.
Israel Adesanya believes Jon Jones has been talking about this potential fight because he's wise enough to recognize a threat when he sees one.
"That shows you how serious they're taking me, the smart ones, how much they know I'm a threat, how serious they're taking me," Adesanya said. "Like, [Jones] mentioned it on fight week of 235 or whatever, and then I went back two weeks prior on messages with Eugene when I put the question out there, how are we going to beat Jon Jones? And he kind of just laid down the rough blueprint. And I blurred a lot of it out, but yeah, we're focusing on Gastelum."
All of this, of course, hinges on Adesanya getting by Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 236, and Jones thwarting his next challenger — most likely Brazilian knockout artist Thiago Santos.
Do you think we'll see Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones in the cage together in the future?

Q: How to set the label for each vertical axis in a parallel coordinates visualization? I'm new to d3.js (and stackoverflow) and I'm currently working through the parallel coordinates example.  I'm currently using a 2d array named 'row' for the data.  Above each vertical axis is the label '0' or '1' or '2', etc.  However, I'd like each vertical axis to be labeled with the text in row[0][i].  I believe the numbers 0,1,2 are coming from the datum.  Any suggestions on how I may use the labels in row[0][i] instead?  I suspect I'm doing something wrong that's pretty basic.  Here's the relevant code.  Thanks !
    // Extract the list of expressions and create a scale for each.
    x.domain(dimensions = d3.keys(row[0]).filter(function (d, i) {
        return row[0][i] != "name" &&
            (y[d] = d3.scale.linear()
                .domain(d3.extent(row, function (p) { return +p[d]; }))
                .range([height, 0]));
    }));

    // Add a group element for each dimension.
    var g = svg.selectAll(".dimension")
                .data(dimensions)
                .enter().append("g")
                .attr("class", "dimension")
                .attr("transform", function (d) { return "translate(" + x(d) + ")"; });

    // Add an axis and title.
    g.append("g")
            .attr("class", "axis")
            .each(function (d) { d3.select(this).call(axis.scale(y[d])); })
            .append("text")
            .attr("text-anchor", "middle")
            .attr("y", -9)
            .text(String);//.text(String)

A: If you only have a controlled set of Axis (like three axis), you may just want to set them up, individually, as follows...
svg.append("text").attr("class","First_Axis")
    .text("0")
    .attr("x", first_x_coordinate)
    .attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
    .attr("text-anchor","middle");

svg.append("text").attr("class","Second_Axis")
    .text("1")
    .attr("x", first_x_coordinate + controlled_offset)
    .attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
    .attr("text-anchor","middle");

svg.append("text").attr("class","Third_Axis")
    .text("2")
    .attr("x", first_x_coordinate + controlled_offset*2)
    .attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
    .attr("text-anchor","middle");

However, if you have dynamically placed axis that rely on the data, you may want to place the axis info using a function that holds the y coordinate constant while determining the x coordinate based on a fixed "offset" (i.e. data driven axis placement).  For example...
svg.append("text")
    .attr("class",function(d, i) {return "Axis_" + i; })
    .text(function(d,i) {return i; })
    .attr("x", function(d, i) { return (x_root_coordinate + x_offset_value*i); })
    .attr("y", constant_y_coordinate)
    .attr("text-anchor","middle");

I hope this helps.

The holiday season kicks off in Essex with the annual TREES IN THE RIGGING Boat Parade.
This annual event includes a traditional, lantern-lit carol stroll down Main Street where spectators are invited to bring their own lanterns or flashlights and join in on the fun. The stroll steps off at 4:00 pm at the Essex Town Hall on West Avenue and ends at the Connecticut River Museum with a parade of vessels dressed out in holiday lights and passing in review along the Connecticut River. The best viewing is from the lawn of the Connecticut River Museum at the foot of Main Street. Santa and his elves will arrive by one of the parade boats for visits with children on the lawn of the Museum.


Oh The Places You'll (Pokémon) Go!
I'm well aware this isn't my normal kind of post. I have however, made it my mission to write openly and honestly this year, and so I thought it would be a shame to gloss over something that I'm actually really enjoying. Unless your head is still buried in the sand post-Brexit (for which I don't blame you), chances are you've heard of Pokémon Go, a new app that seems to have quite literally taken over the world in the past week.
Pokémon arrived in the world when I was at primary school and quickly became one of my favourite things to do. I was addicted to the gameboy game where I tried so hard to be the very best (like no-one ever was…), watched all the TV shows and movies, and collected, swapped and battled cards as often as I possibly could. Other than the odd dabble in Mario Kart on the Game Cube, and the Sims on our old slower-than-slow family PC, Pokemon is really the only digital game I've ever enjoyed, so you can imagine my delight at finding it on my phone, 10+ years down the line.
In the week since it's release, it's become something of a phenomenon, the likes of which I'm not sure I've not seen before. I found an early download link before the UK app store launch, the day after the game became available in the US, and immediately found scores of Brighton residents doing the same thing. I found a Facebook page which has grown expansively over the past week, connecting likeminded individuals and organising events and meetups across the city, all thanks to this funny little game.
In short, it's an augmented reality game where you can catch Pokemon in your everyday surroundings. The game displays as a map of the local area, and to control your character you have to travel in real life. There are 'pokestops' at monuments where you can collect prizes, and Gyms where you can battle other players to earn coins. All of these locations in the game translate to real places in the city which you have to visit, making it an unbelievably active game. In the nearly a week and a half I've been playing for, I've walked nearly 50km (the app tracks it for you), and come across hundreds, if not more, of other Brighton residents doing the same. It's become a wonderfully social game too, I've spoken to people I would never have normally spoken to, and I'm hearing amazing stories already of people making friends at impromptu gatherings which wouldn't have happened without this app.
It is of course, just an app, but for me at least it's been so much fun. I'm exploring places in the city that I otherwise wouldn't have been to, and seeing sights from different angles which has turned out to be the most incredible way to adventure in your home town, and see it through different eyes. It might not be your cup of tea, but something that makes you exercise, go outside and meet new people can only be a positive thing in my opinion!
*ps thanks to Loz for the title of this post. If you get it, you and I would probably get on rather well.
What I love most is that you can always go out and meet likeminded people, sitting around whenever there's an arena or gym near. So cool!
I'm on like…level 9 but am probably the laziest Pokemon player because I've only caught things when on the bus or train, or actually been out somewhere? I haven't intentionally gone out to catch more! Haha.
While I don't play this game, I think it's a great idea and it's definitely bringing people together. However, I think some people are crazy about it and make it a bit too dangerous!
Absolutely love pokemon go! my boyfriend and I are actually quite addicted, we sat down on groyne with the donut for a good couple of hours on saturday catching pokemon and go out every evening for a walk around brighton to catch them too! It's great isn't it!
I've been loving Pokemon Go right now, such a good game honestly haha – lovely photos!

Pub near Croydon University Hospital on the Croydon/Thornton Heath border.
It's quite small inside, with seating provided by three four-seater booths, several tables on a dais with padded banquettes and low backless stools, and half a dozen stools at the bar. The bar back is backlit stained glass, and an old-fashioned "time" bell with rope pull is mounted at one end photo. The floor is varnished boards. Windows are large and clear, but high up enough to give the booths privacy from the street. The decor is generally on the newer side of traditional — uncluttered but not full of hard echoey surfaces — and rather reminiscent of pubs of the 1980s.
Kake has visited several times now, most recently in January 2019. On a Thursday lunchtime in March 2016, there were four or five other customers in when I arrived around 12:30pm, one of them having lunch. Music was playing, not too loud but a bit incongruously poppy. Service was friendly and helpful. The tables were laid with tablemats but not cutlery, and everything seemed very clean. The situation was similar on a Thursday afternoon in January 2019, with three other customers at 2pm and Heart Radio playing.
There are no handpumps for real ale, just keg taps for the usual suspects such as Fosters, Guinness, John Smith's, and so on. A large lime and soda (less than a pint, more than a half) was £1.70 in March 2016 and £1.95 in January 2019.
Traditional pub food is served every day except Saturday; according to a sign in March 2016 it's available noon-9pm Mon-Fri and noon-5pm Sun.
In May 2016, Kake tried the jacket potato with cheese, beans, and coleslaw (£4.59 plus 50p for having three fillings instead of two) photo. It was fine; not notably good, but generously sized and generously filled.
Accessibility: A step in at both entrances. No further steps to the ladies' once you're in (gents' not checked). All the seating is either on a dais or in fixed booths.
Last visited by Kake, January 2019. Opening hours taken from sign outside, March 2016.
