What is a PC Support Scam? They come in various forms. You might receive a popup on your computer indicating that you have a problem warning you that you need to call a provided phone number immediately. It may even have a logo you recognize from Microsoft, Norton or some other recognizable company.
If you have a pop-up on your computer what should you do? Close the window and immediately shut down your computer.
Be very careful. If you are having pop-up messages, there is a good chance there is malicious software already on your computer. These programs can steal passwords, delete your files or a host of other things. It is important to get your computer cleaned as soon as possible as these programs usually cause the system to run poorly or even crash. Get your computer in the hands of a trusted repair technician to get the infections removed.
What if you have received a phone call? Hang up! End of story. Microsoft never calls you to indicate you have a problem. If you did allow them remote access to your computer they most likely installed remote access software and will be able to continue to access your computer. Again turn it off and get it to a trusted repair technician. In addition if you gave them any credit card information call you credit card company immediately.


England toiled long and hard in the field today, against the Windies, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua in the 2nd Test.
Windies close the day on 272/6, 85 runs ahead of England.
The Windies added just 242 runs to their overnight score of 30-0, losing 6 wickets in the process. It was war of attrition being played out, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, with runs and wickets being hard to come by - Darren Bravo facing 165 balls for his 33 not out.
Earlier, Kraigg Brathwaite 49, John Campbell 47 and Shai Hope 44 all made it into the 40s but were unable to push on to a big score - Stuart Broad 3-42 and Moeen Ali 2-54 the pick of the England bowlers.
England will be disappointed to have dropped 3 chances in the field and to miss out on coming back strongly today against the Windies but both sides stuck to their tasks on what might be the defining day's play of the seires.
All to play for, on Day 3, for both teams.

Art Rock Show – Presence of Life (Week 27)
De Noorse band Kerrs Pink speelt progressieve rock die een mix is van Scandinavische folklore en verfijnde Engelse art-rock muziek à la Camel. En als het nogal seventies klinkt, weet dan dat de groep in 1973 werd opgericht…
Jacopo Vigezzi van Progressive Rock Journal "The mixes between guitar and keyboards are certainly one of the strengths of the album, with a strong reference to the '70s. An energetic and well-structured rhythmic session and the vocals of Eirikur Hauksson of Magic Pie complete the sound, characterized by a good balance between the hardest and the symphonic parts. The album opens with a track of over 9 minutes titled "Resurrection," featuring elaborate Prog textures built around 70s-style keyboards, massive guitar riffs and warm, punchy vocals. The rhythmic session is solid and full of tempo changes that increase the technical rate of the piece, very successful even in the long instrumental sections, which highlight the intertwining between keyboards and guitar.… Read more...

Art Rock Show – To Touch the Sky (Week 26)
The Emerald Dawn is een vierkoppig symfonisch progressief rock-ensemble dat zijn inspiratie haalt uit klassieke, progressieve, jazz- en folkgenres. The Prog Mind review: "I'm always impressed when a band can balance old and new, fresh and classic, ambience and rhythm. The Emerald Dawn are very good at this. (…)
On their last couple albums, the band proved to me that they can truly play on a towering level. Their music is typically poetic, mostly instrumental with sparse vocals, imaginative, and atmospheric. (…)
For "To Touch the Sky", the band have changed yet again. This time, the music feels fleeting, existential, and floating. I still hear some influence from Mike Oldfield and Hackett, though I'm surprised at how little of the biggest classic "prog" bands I hear.… Read more...
Rock On! Wednesday, 23 June – Over (Peter Hammill, Matching Mole, The Wilde Flowers, Caravan & Van Der Graaf Generator)
Psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds spanning the late 60s and the early 70s – Wednesday December 23rd. Dan's pick of the week: Peter Hammill (Over), Matching Mole (Matching Mole), The Wilde Flowers (Tales of Canterbury: The Wilde Flowers Story), Caravan (If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You) & Van Der Graaf Generator (Godbluff).
Peter Hammill is een Engelse singer-songwriter. Hij is een van de oprichters van de progressieve rockband Van der Graaf Generator. Met zo'n achtergrond behoef je geen introductie…
Erik Groeneweg van Prog Wereld: "Over" gaat over het einde van een relatie en alle gevoelens die dat oproept, van woede, wanhoop en depressie tot begrip en voorzichtig herstel. Volgens de overlevering schreef Hammill de plaat om zijn eigen ervaringen te verwerken, het opbreken van een relatie met 'Alice', juist op het moment dat Van Der Graaf Generator in een overgangsfase zat.… Read more...


I don't see anywhere in this step that zip ties are used. Why are the needle nose pliers mentioned as being needed?
Stephen, you can need them during the manupulation with the bearings, as well as for insterting nuts into their traps.
To adjust the position or rotation of the linear bearings push the 2mm allen key inside the bending split, so it grow a bit wider, now you can turn or position the bearing with much less force.
That's right. Please just be careful, everybody, not to break the part.
The size of socket will vary by set. My 11mm socket was the right size. The key is to push on the metal outer part with the socket, NOT the rubber seal.
Hey Eric, do you have any suggestions on how to make it clearer?
I used the handle of the pliers to gently move the bearing down the tube. Being soft surfaced but firm, it made an easy job of this.
There should be a note that when inserting the first bearing of each pair, ensure it is slid to its end-position before inserting the second of the pair.
I used the second to push the first down, then realized I had no "gap" between the them to allow me to continue pushing the first the remaining few mm.
I agree with Scott . . . I did exactly the same thing.
- insert second bearing rotated axially 45degrees.
Perhaps your fourth step could be fortified as follows, "- press second bearing in flush to the face, leaving a small gap between the two bearings"?
I agree with greg and scott.
Good points. I'd stress: a reminder about reading all steps here first before inserting the bearings, and recommendation as per Scott on how to properly insert these.
I did the same mistake as Scott and Greg. I solved it by inserting the smallest allen key into the plastic crack and made contact with the bearing on it's line dent to push the first one to the proper position.
So just to clarify - it seems that when pushing the bearings in, the side that you enter the bearing is a full circle but splits from the pressure. It also appears that this is completely normal. The picture shows a cut that doesn't exist in the real part. It might help folks to mention that the part will split at this point and not to worry.
General suggestion1: Perhaps orient the orange X-end pieces the same in the first two pictures just for clear/consistent reference.
General suggestion2: At this stage I'm afraid it's not yet clear (at least to me) which is the "top surface" and which is the "lower surface" as referenced in the instructions. Perhaps it would be helpful to only reference sides/ends within the scope of these two X-end pieces themselves; such as "rim-end" and "non-rim end"?
General suggestion3: Regarding the green dot note, "First pair of bearings should be in line with the top surface on both X-ends." Isn't it true that the second pair of bearings (the bearings we must insert second) should be in line with the top surface at both X-ends? Out of necessity, the first pair of bearings must be against the rim-end since they must be inserted first, correct? I may be misreading, but it seems that the references to "first pair" and "second pair" in these notes are reversed (assuming you are referring to the order in which the bearings are inserted).
Minor semantic suggestion regarding, "You can press the bearings against the flat surface for easier insertion."… If I understand correctly, I think you're suggesting using "a" flat surface (e.g., benchtop) to press the bearing into place. The words, "against the flat surface" made me wonder at first if you were referring to a specific portion/surface of the X-end itself.
Hey Todd, thank you for all the feedback. We'll try to update this step.
The first bearing I inserted was really tough to get in, all the way to the rim. Therefore, even though I used my workbench to put it in, the second bearing I inserted went in with full force and got right next to the first, when they should be separated.
Not wanting to destroy the bearing's rubber seal nor the part with the allen keys, I scratched my head. My solution was to take the GT2-16 which has a slightly smaller diameter than the linear bearings and use the rubber end of the pliers to push on the GT2-16 which in turn pushed on both bearings from the "rim" side until one fell out. Then pushed the first one in again against the rim (and the GT2-16 out) and then more gently this time inserted the second bearing.
I think that what they are trying to convey is that each bearing should be closest to it's perspective end of the printed part (nearly flush). This will leave a gap between the bearings . This confusion might be mitigated with a spacer to prevent having the bearings too close together. But I might be mistaken.
each bearing should be closest to it's respective end of the printed part. :) Otherwise you're absolutely correct.
I completely ruined a bearing on this step. Can we please get better instructions on how to perform this task.
Please let us know which part was unclear - we'll do our best to adjust the manual.
3. Orient the orange piece on the table so that you are pushing the bearing and GT2-16 downward. Use the soft, rubber handle of the pliers to push the two pieces into the shaft until the bearing meets the surface of the workbench. Turn the orange piece over so that the GT2-16 falls out.
5. Turn the piece over again, so that the second bearing is on the workbench. Apply pressure downward on the orange piece until the second bearing is flush with the opening.
If you accidentally press either piece too far in, you can use the GT2-16 and the plier handles to push the bearings back out without damaging them and try again.
I fell trap to the lack of instruction that says insert first bearing to bottom before proceeding to second. If you too find out it's wrong, use your smallest Allen key and stick it into the slot and push slightly against the bottom bearing (there is a groove that you can use to push). Then, once it's freed, use the Allen key and contact the top (as if the key was laying on top) and pull down til the bearing hits the rim.
Perhaps mention that the nut must go much deeper into the part than the graphic above suggests. If the edge of the nut is left flush with the part-surface (as shown), it will neither line up with the screw hole nor even block it (which would make it obvious that it wasn't fully inserted).
Thanks for the feedback, we'll add a note about it.
Indeed – just got bitten by this. The image above is precisely what it looks like when the square nut is sitting on top of the screw. If you turned the part upside down after taking the above picture the nut will fall out.
My preassembled printer came up with this screw loose, as on the picture above. So perhaps some of the Prusa employees also get confused by this instruction.
Hey George, it's not necessary to use the tensioner.
The nut falls easily into the opening at first, but is easily pushed all the way down into the hole by the smallest allen wrench, which can also be used to center the screw hole through the screw opening. The nut should not be flush with the top of the piece as in the picture, as noted by Scott Mutton.
Hi Wesley, make sure to read the description - it explains what should happen to the nut from the picture.
It is worth mentioning that if you have any M3x16 bolts, use one here! It is very common to accidentally overtension the X axis later because the 18mm screw won't bottom out when it gets in all the way, fooling you into thinking you have more room. I did it, and I've seen many others on Reddit do it too.
Screwing the M3x18 screw onto the nut allows you to adjust the angle of the nut as you press it into the X-end-idler. Then unscrew it once the nut is in place.
If you try and use the screw to pull the nut in, be very careful as the part can bow in or break. I noticed mine was bowing in so I had to figure out a different approach.
If you put that screw to far in it will stick out and rub against the frame.
That is right, we don't want that. Also the bearing would not turn freely in that case.
I think its important to mentions that the locknut will stick out some from the X-end-idler. Maybe add another image with more of an angle or some kind of note.
I agree with steve. I wasnt sure how deep the nut should be in the hole.
The orange plastic part in this picture is a bit differently shaped from the model that I received in my Mk3S kit. The width of the B7 part shown in the rightmost picture, the arch exactly positioned under the thumb there, is looking considerably narrower than the width of the piece I received (13,5mm). There are also no diagonal supports on the arch of the piece I received. Do I have an older or newer model part B7 or did something else change since this manual was printed?
Hi Wilko, the design of your parts might be slightly different when compared to those from the manual.
For this step, one of my bearings does not move freely on the rod with gravity. The bearings will cruise from left to right when I tilt the rods, this bearing does not. I feel there is something faulty with it. Is this common?
Please test the bearing by moving it with hand. If it moves smoothly, then it will be OK.
I'm a pretty big dude, pushing with all my strength I couldn't get the rods pushed all the way in. I ended up taking one of the cardboard strips to cover the printed part and putting the other end against the carpet and tapped it on until I could see the rod through the hole.
My mk3s kit did come with the special openings on top and bottom of both printed pieces for this step.
I placed both rods into one part, one rod at a time. I started the rod by hand, then placed the rod end on my work bench (so the rod is vertical, with the printed part on top) and pressed down on the printed part. I repeated this for the second rod. I then started both rods into the second printed part, then placed the first part onto the table, and pressed both rods home. Rod ends show through end openings on both top and bottom.
OK, so I had the same problem with inserting the rods. I want to share my experience to help the next guy. As a disclaimer I accidentally fractured the outside corner of b7 but that was a mistake that can be avoided.
I started them by hand OK as much as I can but could not seat them all the way. So what I had to do was take a soft hammer, though any soft banging too should work fine, and gently tapped the end of the rods one at a time. Fully seating one side. It may be a good suggestion to use a permanent marker and mark near the printed part on the rod to observe how you are making progress since this was risky. you should only tap is as hard as you need to to move it a little at a time. Then I applied the other end and gently tapped on that after pushing it on as much as I can by hand.
My mistake was I din't seat any of the rods fully in any component before I took the hammer out. But if you tackle one side at a time you should be good.
I ended up using a pipe clamp (made for wood working) to slowly move the rods fully into the 3d printed parts. Worked great!
I placed a piece of cardboard, from the packing, on the floor … pleased the assembly vertically and pressed firmly straight down … and it snapped into place.
This worked for me as well, not too much forced was needed this way. Would like to say that I was a bit hesitant to do this, I preferred to clean the wholes with the allen key, but I could not get them out that easy.
I find pushing the rods in solely by hand was easy in the MK3S.
No banging with a hammer is necessary. It may twist the rod, and you most definitely doesn't want that. If it doesn't go in easily, then clean up the hole a little with an allen key, then slowly put in the rod until it goes all the way, if it doesn't, then clean up a little more.
Take the rod out and repeat the process with all 4 holes. Afterwards, it's easy to assemble it all together.
I have a MK3S and no amount of cleaning would make the rods easily enter the holes. I had to resort to a rubber mallet and gentle tapping.
I found that using a small round file in the holes made it much easier to install the rods, as they are a very tight fit. Also using a peice of cardboard on the table/floor and putting some weight on them made them go in, but make sure you get the bearing on the right way round as its never coming apart again ;) It feels like the printed parts are faily strong, as I put a fair amount of pressure on them and they didn't snap in half, but be careful as they are still only plastic.
I seated the rods initially but they didn't go fully in, so I used a cloth to hold each X end (to protect the part and stop it slipping) and then by applying steady pressure and a small amount of twisting the rods clicked in all the way.
Perhaps there was some excess material extruded in the printed parts, which prevented the rods from going in - in case of all printed parts included in our kits, we always recommend to always inspect every part and clean it with a hobby knife if necessary.
Nope nope nope.. The holes in the parts were clear and yet no amount of twisting and pushing would budge the rods any more after the 1st cm or so. After that I had no choice but to use a hammer, and make very small and gentle taps on each rod in turn until everything was fully seated. Added another 10 minutes or so to the build, but took it nice and slow and careful to avoid breaking anything.
I think the main source of the issue is that the rod ends are very square, with virtually no bevel whatsoever, so the rod ends dig into the sides of the very tight holes whereas a slight chamfer on the ends of the rods would allow them to go in a lot easier.
What worked for me: pushed in all 4 as best as I could taking care not to bend rods. Then used rubber mallet on printed parts to gently tap them in while the other printed part was on workbench. A few taps and they were in.
Thank you Prusa for letting us put comments on here.
I had the same problem. No way these rods would go in all the way without a lot of force. I did not want to do that so I first used a marker to mark in the rods how far they should go down. Then I used a round file to file out the holes till the rods would snugly fit.
I was able to get the rods into the idler (flat side) with a lot of muscle, but I could not, for the life of me, get the rods into the X-end-motor (hook shaped) end. I got it about an inch in and it stopped like it hit a brick wall. I tried a light hammering, and it would not budge (used marker to track progress). I stopped for a couple days to think about it.
I was able to remove the rods from the idler piece to start over. This time I started with the X-end motor (hook shaped) side first. I used a piece of neoprene 1/16" rubber that I had from another project as a grip. I wrapped it around the rod and was able to insert the rods with a twisting motion, one at a time. Then I was able to cap the other side with the idler part. I celebrated with a gummy bear, then realized I forgot to put the bearings on the rods.
Use tiny hammer or small dead blow mallet. Start with the piece with the L off of it. Hammer the ends of the rods into the part slowly. Hammer both rods all the way in. Then put the other end on, and hammer each side of it slowly alternating each blow of the hammer. Do this with the other end on the table with the L hanging off the edge of the table so the force does not affect that piece of the part.
I am having this problem too. I checked the inside of the holes, and poked with an Allen wrench, and they seem very clean. . The tolerance is just too tight. I now have one rod stuck in the hook-shaped piece and am trying to figure out how to proceed.
Sounds like, if I can get it out again, the best way is to get a round file and file down the holes.
If I cannot remove the rod, which is less risky to its integrity: 1) place the printed end on the floor (with padding) and push down on the rod? or 2) rubber hammer?
Update: I used electric plastic safe lubricant to remove the stuck rod. Then I used a round file on the holes. It seemed to work very well to use the end of the file to push down the inside of the holes. Using a cell phone flashlight to look inside the holes (not easy to see inside black parts….), I did not see any obvious strings or artifacts though the inside of the hole is a little rough. I noticed there is a slight artifact of 3D printing the holes, with a little flatness on 2 opposite sides. I don't know if that caused the difficulty or whether the holes are just slightly too small. But after a little cleaning out the rods slid in perfectly. I had expected to have to tweak/adjust the filing a lot and it was much easier than that.
I used a small Dremel bit to clean it out, very careful to just clean and not take too much material out. Much better fit!
(MK3S) Just don't use hammers or whatever. The key is cleaning the hole (suggest adding that to the guide). I use one brush of my "gun cleaning tools" which is kinda like a narrower tooth brush for cleaning (use it for airsoft) which did the trick easily. From "this thing is so stuck how am i gonna do this" to "ah how did this suddenly get so easy" where i could just push the rods in by hand and little force.
Instead of banging them in use a DRY rubber glove to get better grip on the rod and twist it it place.
Prusa - absolutely no way would the rods go into the holes without risk of damaging something; also I couldn't see any extraneous plastic blocking the holes. The rods are 8mm diameter so I looked for an 8mm drill … could only fine an 8mm flat-bladed wood drill and so used that; turned the drill bit by hand and slowly worked my way down each hole removing quite a bit of plastic. Only after reaming the holes in this manner would the rods finally fit … and still quite a tight fit at that!
OK, got the X-end-idler in all the way then tried the x-end-motor but couldn't get them in far at all. I came straight here to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong and after reading the other comments thought I'd better try rechecking the holes for any debris. Problem is I can't get the rods out of the x-end-motor piece now! They just won't budge. Tried using dry rubber gloves (thanks James) but not even a slight movement. So, do I try to tap the rods further into the x-end-motor piece with a rubber mallet or???
Many have said, "use a hammer" but that risks bending the rods.
Instead, I first inspected the holes. Then I put the X-idler on a rug on the floor and gently pushed one rod in from above using my body weight and at intervalls making sure that I didn't over do it. Then, I took the second rod (with bearings of course) and did the same again.
The x-tensioner has a hook and therefore can not lie on the floor like the x-idler can. So here, I inserted both rods into the x-tensioner and pushed on it with the x-idler still on the floor, using my weight. It worked well, I think. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
i found an easy way to get the rods all the way in , first slide the bearing all the way to the end a few times and the rod will get greased a little from the oil coming out for the bearing which should help the rod go in.
I could not get mine seated without resorting to a rubber mallet. I couldn't seat one side even with muscle alone. Unfortunately even with very small taps, both sides cracked.
I re-printed them on another 3D printer and managed to get them in with the rubber mallet.
Whoa! Getting the rods in!.. After quite a struggle I took a 5/16" drill bit (which is 7.94mm) and discovered that the holes were even a snug fit for the undersized bit. I manually pushed the drill bit in and out of the holes several times (not using a drill) until the hole felt slightly less snug to the bit. I applied lithium lube spray onto the rods and used my air compressor to clean out any possible plastic debris in the hole and the rods were still a very snug fit but they made it to the end of the plastic parts without damaging anything.
My ends were stuck on and neither side had bottomed out yet. In fact, I couldn't even see the rod through the view holes. I used my body weight and pushed down on them with one end resting on a hard surface. This method got one end bottomed out. The other end wouldn't budge at all, until I found out that I could rock it slightly from rod to rod. I rocked the part from side to side while putting heavy downward force and got the last piece to go in all the way! I was worried for a bit.
It definitely helps to open up the holes in the printed parts with a fine round file or similar. The printing process leaves small flats in the circular holes - remove those gently with the file so the hole looks circular, and my rods slid in without excessive force or any hammering.
I used a tiny rubber (less than 1in diameter) mallet for small machine work to tap the pieces in. two light taps in and the corner shattered. these parts have very little to no infill. I would recommend Prusa updates the instructions to not use a hammer, or to increase the infill percentage on these parts. Gotta order a new part now since I don't have an operating 3d printer.
Can't get the smooth rods in without using a hammer because i am worried of bending the rods. Please fix this design flaw. I tried getting my in by hand after filling the inside for a bit, but while trying to get it in afterwards, the rod got stuck and could no longer get it out nor further in.
Hey Troy, you can try using a rubber mallet if you're unable to fully push rods in.
My experience with this was similar to others who posted here. I approached it by putting both ends on to both rods simultaneously. I pushed to the point where neither side would budge. I didn't want to try and force the parts further or take them off for fear of breaking them. They were stuck. What I did then was to get a rubber mallet (which others here have done) but I did one other thing that made a huge difference. I got a hairdryer and heated the plastic to make it more forgiving. I want to be very clear. I heated the plastic VERY GENTLY. That is why I used a hairdryer. I could easily control the amount of heat applied. You don't want to warp (or worse, melt) the parts obviously. I barely had to warm them. Then I placed the assembly vertically on a hard, level surface (with cardboard on top for protection of the bottom part) and tapped extremely gently so there was no chance of breaking the plastic or bending the rods. This technique worked perfectly. The rods went in with ease.
(1) Remove the stuck rod. I was able to clamp the rod in the wooden jaws of a woodworking vice and spin the block off easily. Plan B was going to be gripping the rod with pliers, close to the block so that any marring would end up being pressed inside the block.
(2) Ream the holes with a 5/16" drill bit. Just undersized, as previously posted. Spin the bit by hand while rotating against the inside walls. Just enough to polish the walls a bit, the edges of the bit won't really cut.
(3) Chamfer the ends of the rods with a fine file, just enough so they would not dig in.
(4) Lube the holes (not the bars). I used silicon grease b/c it's not as messy as lithium grease.
After this, the rods pressed in easily and seated firmly.
Start rods on both parts, get them in as far as you can by hand. Keep one hand on each side, put between your legs (knee area) and squeeze progressively harder until the rods go home. As soon as I start to squeeze my legs, the rods went right to the ends. Your legs are much stronger at squeezing this way than your arms are.
The motor-side printed part cracked in two places on inserting the rods, despite doing so very gently and with force of hand only (no tools, no pushing against the table etc).
When the instructions say to be careful here, they are not kidding around.
A combination of comments by James and Houssam helped me manage this step without much fuss.
1. Run the bearings all the way up and down their respective shafts, so that the shafts get a little grease on them from the bearings to help with insertion.
My orange piece was a tight fit, but certainly not so tight that I had to dremel any plastic out to re-fit the part. Still, Prusa would do well to adjust the blueprint for these parts so that the hole comes out slightly larger.
I really struggled with this step and setting the rods in place completely. I found that after inserting the rods part of the way and then pressing one of the X-Axis ends into my shoulder and then pressing the other end with my palms worked quite well. Press it into your shoulder like you would a rifle/shotgun and press in with hands without twisting.
We always recommend checking all the holes in the printed parts for any flashes/extra printed material, sometimes they need a bit of cleaning before inserting screws/nuts, or rods for that matter here. In case of X-ends, the holes in these have lower tolerance, to ensure that rods will not get loose with extended use. As some users have suggested above, lightly tapping either X-end while laid flat on a table with a wooden/rubber mallet should work fine.
One of the screws must be facing directly against the pad (flat part) on the shaft. Slightly tighten both screws…Don't tighten the pulley firmly yet, we'll get to that later.
Here it says to only tighten slightly. It also says we will come back to this. Does the manual ever come back to this to fully tighten it? I completed the build (it works great now!) built my prints kept failing over and over. It passed all the calibrations. On first layer leveling, it kept printing the rectangle with shifted layers. The problem was the screw was not tight enough. Maybe I missed it later in the manual, but this screw should be tightened completely against the flat portion, or during faster speeds will slip and cause all kinds of issues. If anyone else has issues like this, its easy to fix even while fully assembled. Simple loosen the screws around the pad of the shaft. Hold the shaft with pliers and rotate it into position. Lock them up tight. This was my only issue with the whole build. It now prints perfect.
Update: Step 51 Aligning the X-axis belt of the E-axis chapter has you tighten these. I did miss it.
it would also be helpful here to minimize confusion and state that the pulley has "grub" screws that may not be evident at first, at least to the uninitiated.
2 of my holes are wider and more elliptical than round … so it's a bit free. What should I do?
Simply tighten the screws. It doesn't matter at this point if they are more to the left or right.
In Step 4 and 5 it is written they require 1- M3x18 screw in each. Step 10 requires 3-M3x18 for a total of 5-M3x18 screws. My #3. X-Axis hardware bag only has 4-M3x18 and on the label is illustrated with having only 4. I have not seen anyone call out a typo error so I must be doing something wrong. Please help! Thanks.
Hey Daniel, remember about spares bag - you can always use it if certain screw is missing.
I got to this step and took a moment to study how well everything looked. As I was inspecting, I noticed that one of the linear bearings wouldn't slide back and forth as smooth as the others. It snagged very slightly as I slid it back and forth. I carefully pulled the assembly apart to inspect the bearing (which visually looked fine) and this video is to show you the overall roughness.. I know that these linear bearings were not designed to rotate on the rod but I found it interesting that the snaggy one would not rotate at all without great force. The other two linear bearings rotated freely.
Hey Ken, it shouldn't behave like that. Please contact our tech support, we'll arrange new bearings for you.
You can either send an email (info@prusa3d.com) or use LiveChat (https://shop.prusa3d.com). Make sure to include that video.
If assembling as shown (motor shaft facing upwards) it's easy to get the motor aligned with the holes on the orange motor holder, but the other end of the metal rods would be floating freely. If turning the motor on its side to avoid gravity pulling on (and potentially warping) the rods and screws, however, it's difficult to align the holes.
I may be over-complicating it, but just to be safe, I pulled out the extruder motor and sat it beneath the other end of the metal rods, so that the whole axis assembly was level as I was screwing the X-axis motor on.
You didn't supply enough transparent bears so I substituted with an orange one. Will I be OK or is my blood sugar now an incompatible hue?
You probably will need to head to your nearest gummy bear dealer to get some more.
X-D Soooooo Gooooood!!!! Soooooo Fun!!!!!

Picturing Jimi, Janis, Miles and Duke
By David Gonzalez Apr. 12, 2012 Apr. 12, 2012
The album cover may say "Aretha in Paris," but Jim Cummins knows better.
"I shot that at Madison Square Garden in 1968 at the Soul Together concert," he said. "The lighting looked like that of the Olympia Theater, so Atlantic used my shot."
And a lot more. Beginning with covers for Aretha Franklin and Sam & Dave (both taken that day at Madison Square Garden), he went on to become a contract photographer for Atlantic Records, as well as shoot concerts and formal cover portraits for some 900 albums on Capitol, Mercury and Columbia, too. His work includes intimate glimpses of musical giants like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Blue Magic and Wilson Pickett. Countless other shots of sunsets, meadows and churches graced the covers of gospel albums put out by Savoy.
"At one point, I don't think there was a home that didn't have some of my artwork, an album cover, in it," said Mr. Cummins, 67, who has since gone on to photograph for Newsday and The New York Times. "My work was varied. I even photographed Guy Lombardo, the Lettermen, Glen Campbell, too."
It all started in June 1968 with a last-minute invitation to the Soul Together concert, which featured Ms. Franklin, Sam & Dave, Sonny and Cher, Joe Tex, King Curtis, and the Young Rascals — all Atlantic artists with hits on the charts. He took his cameras and knocked out some rolls. He sent the results to Atlantic on spec.
They liked the take and said they would get back to him. Two weeks later, he learned they were using two of his pictures for album covers: "Aretha in Paris" and Sam & Dave's "I Thank You." The company went on to offer him a contract in which he would shoot 25 covers or promotional sessions every three months. A lot of times, they were rush jobs as tracks for an album had been selected and were waiting on only the cover art.
It was a golden age for rock and soul, and the recording companies were living, and spending, high.
"It was nothing for them to put me on a charter flight to do something in California and fly right back," he said. "Or get me a limo to go to Philadelphia. It would be nothing for me to shoot 30 rolls of film, and get it processed in the middle of the country, which cost a fortune. They had the money, and they spent it to get what they needed."
Jim Cummins Ken Kumba and Yusef Lateef, 1970s. (Double exposure.)
He got what he needed through ample access to the artists, on stage and in the studio. Unlike now, when photographers are ushered into a concert and allowed to shoot a couple of songs, he could linger for the set.
"I got close to Wilson Pickett," he said. "The first time I had to photograph him was for the 'Hey Jude' album. Everybody said to me, 'I don't envy you. He's rough.' I was scared. I got to the Apollo and knocked on his door.
"Who is it!"
"The photographer from Atlantic," Mr. Cummins replied, in a low voice.
"We don't have much time," Mr. Pickett said. "Can we do something right now?"
"I picked a background, said a couple of things to him and got a good moment. It ran as a cover a week later. Pickett called me later and said he wanted to use me for his next covers."
Not that it always went so quickly. On a subsequent cover shoot, Mr. Pickett kept delaying, often postponing the session but inviting Mr. Cummins to go with him to Bobby Womack's studio, where card games kept the musicians occupied between takes.
"We were hanging out and not getting anything done," Mr. Cummins said. "We finally got a call from his manager who said, 'This is what I'm going to do: If you don't have your act together, I'm going to run an old picture of Pickett with a process hairdo, a pink suit and your name in the credits.' We got our act together the next day."
Even those marathon hangout sessions in the studio gave him a peek into the creative process. Several times, he saw how banter during card games among the musicians led to songs being composed on the spot.
"That's how they did Pickett's 'Don't Knock My Love'," Mr. Cummins said. "The guys were sitting around playing cards, and one guy said 'Man, I got a garbage hand.' Another guy says 'If you don't like it, don't knock it. Somebody else might go and rock it.' They looked at each other and realized they had the words to a song. Everybody got up and started to play."
His approach to covering concerts and doing covers was shaped by his art-school studies, as well as a long stint working at Newsweek magazine cover department under Bob Engle.
"He was a genius," Mr. Cummins said. "You found out what was appealing as a cover, the elements that made a cover. You knew what to look for in portraits."
He credited photographers he met on the Newsweek job with giving him insights. Later, in the 1970s, he spent several hours talking with Alfred Eisenstaedt during a shoot for The Washington Star.
"Everything I thought I knew before went out the window," Mr. Cummins said. "He taught me how to shoot a portrait. If it takes more than 15 minutes, you've lost the subject. He taught me how to sit them, what to say, what not to say. Don't take too long or ask anybody to smile. "
In some cases, nothing he did could help.
"Hank Crawford?" Mr. Cummins recalled. "You know the pictures of Jesus with the eyes that follow you around? That's what it was like shooting him. He never changed expression. He never moved."
On the other hand, he still remembers the day Miles Davis tipped his hat to him as he walked offstage (Slide 6). Or the moment he snapped an intense Jimi Hendrix recording "Izabella" at the Hit Factory (Slide 2).
"It was very tense," he said. "They had Hendrix on a 50-foot cord on the guitar. He was walking from room to room playing. I was there for four hours. It's tense when you're working in the studio, you have to keep out of people's way because they'll throw you out. And rightfully so, it's a very personal period of time."
And now, in some ways, it's a bygone time. The era of free spending is gone as recordings companies continue to adjust to digital technologies and delivery. And the album cover — a once-totemic object — has been downsized to thumbnails on Web sites.
"I used to go to a record store and see 50 Wilson Pickett covers stapled to a wall, and that is an ego trip to see your work like that," he said. "An album cover used to be a big thing. Today, it doesn't have the same impact because of its size. In many cases, you see more type on the cover. There is not the same artistic value put in the covers these days. There has been a loss of visual impact."

Pictures of the Day: Indonesia and Elsewhere


This is a reconstruction of the life of one of the great Chinese monk-scholars who travelled to India in the 5th century. It is in four parts and two segments, the first of which we showed last week.
In this week's episodes Fa Xian travels through India in search of Buddhist scriptures, and particularly of authoritative Vinaya texts, he has many adventures along the way, and records the customs of the lands he travels through.
When he finally gets to the Buddha's home town of Kapilavastu he is surprised to find that it is in a state of decay, that Buddhism has all but died out, and that no scriptures can be found there.
He continues his journey though and eventually comes to the capital of the Magadha kingdom, Pataliputra, which is the most magnificent city in India at the time. Here he does find the long desired texts, and starts collecting and copying them.
After several years he travels to Sri Lanka, and to the Mahayana Abhayagiri Monastery, which is thriving at the time, and there he finds many texts that were unavailable in India, which he also stops to collect.
The journey back to China is full of troubles, but eventually he arrives and makes his way to Jiankang, which he where he starts his translation work in his mid-70s. Later he moved to Jiangling, which is where he completed his work, and eventually passed away.
Despite the occasional inaccuracy, and the appalling pronunication of all the Indian names, the films are full of information, and throw a lot of light on the journey of this great Indian monk, who risked his life to improve the condition of Buddhism in his home country.

The new U.S. secretary of energy wants to know if wind and solar are undermining stability of the U.S. grid, and conflates baseload power with reliability. We'd like to help him with his homework.
Last week, we reported on new Energy Secretary Rick Perry's proposed inquiry into whether wind and solar are making the electricity grid less stable. The memo as leaked to Bloomberg News rang our alarm bells at pv magazine, as some of us have been debunking myths about renewable energy for years.
Sadly, Perry is in way over his head. As the former governor of Texas, he isn't a scientist like Nobel Prize-winning Physicist Steven Chu or former MIT Energy Initiative Director Ernest Moniz, but then again meritocracy does not appear to be one of the things that the Trump Administration is interested in.
As such, we'd like to offer Secretary Perry a little bit of light reading to improve his chops on the issues of integrating large volumes of renewable energy into the grid. We've already provided a number of real-world examples, but some academic grounding never hurts, as it appears that Perry may be unfamiliar with the body of work already published on this subject.
First off, I'd like to note that what most concerned me most about Rick Perry's statement is the line about the "diminishing diversity of our nation's electric generation mix and what that could mean for baseload power and grid resilience".
There are so many things wrong with that statement that I don't know where to start. With natural gas, coal, nuclear power, hydroelectricity and now increasing shares of wind and solar, our grid has never been more diverse – both in sources of power and geography.
But the bigger concern is that Perry conflates grid stability and baseload power. This is a common misconception based on outdated thinking. As such, my first suggestion is that Perry read an excellent Chris Nelder article from 2012.
Second, Perry should read some International Energy Agency studies about integrating renewable energy. As far back as 2008, IEA published a handy little 36-page study that Perry might have missed, which looks at some of the technical issues of integrating renewables.
Of course, IEA has built greatly on this work, and in 2014 published The Power of Transformation, which says that most nations can get 25-40% of their power from wind and solar even at current levels of flexibility – and more if the grid is optimized towards this task.
If Perry is looking for some U.S.-specific studies on the integration of large volumes of wind and solar, he could go back to work published by an agency that is funded by the department which he now runs, namely National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL). I would particularly like to recommend the Western Wind and Solar Integration Studies and Eastern Renewables Integration Studies, which look at scenarios where regional grids get around a third of their power from wind and solar, or four and a half (Western) to six (Eastern) times as much as was on these grids in 2015.
And finally, if Perry has questions specifically about solar, we can recommend the excellent work of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which did a deep dive on solar in 2015, including issues with integrating large volumes of PV.
From all these studies, there are a few takeaways: First, there are real challenges to integrating high volumes of wind and solar on U.S. grids (or any grid, for that matter). However, these are mostly economic. If properly managed using technology widely available and used today, including advanced forecasting, increasing levels of wind and solar are by no means a threat to reliability.
And as we do integrate higher levels of wind and solar, baseload will have to go. It will have to go because power systems with high levels of renewable energy need flexibility, not inflexible baseload plants. While baseload in some ways made grid operators' jobs easier, it is not a requirement for a power system.
Hopefully Perry finds some time in his busy schedule for this line of inquiry, before his office wastes a bunch of taxpayer dollars, which may be in scarce supply if Trump's budget proposals go through.


Hydrogen cars have already been invented and are currently on the market, although they are not available for commercial large scale sales. This is a car that many people think will solve most of the problems that the world is currently facing with the gasoline fuels and air pollution. Hydrogen cars have lots of advantages over the gasoline cars. Hydrogen cars do not pollute the environment because when hydrogen is combusted and burned, the only by products created are water and heat. Hydrogen cars normally have steam coming out of their exhaust pipes instead of smokes and toxic fumes. When gasoline is combusted, lots of poisonous gases are given out such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. With hydrogen cars, the world can really reduce pollution levels significantly, which is one of the reasons why hydrogen cars have been such a big push lately for manufacturers and designers.
There two ways of supplying a hydrogen car with hydrogen. One way is by electrolysis of water, which can be done using a system which has been developed inside the car. This will require the car to have a battery to supply the energy to carry out the electrolysis process. It simply entails running an electric current in water and there will be two products given out- hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is that is produced used to run the car and power all vehicle functions. The other alternative to creating the hydrogen needed is to have the fuel tank of the car filled up with hydrogen and this will require refilling once it is exhausted. It works much like a normal gas tank but would be filled with hydrogen rather than regular gas.
Hydrogen cars are not without their share of challenges. They are expensive to produce and this explains why they are only found in some specific parts of the world and have not yet become mainstream vehicles at this time. In the state of California, hydrogen cars are available for leasing but only limited places will have them for sale at this time. Some states such as California have developed the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the running of hydrogen cars and in time more places will be able to facilitate these cars. One of such important facilities is the hydrogen refueling station, which will be required if the car is not generating hydrogen internally. The system needed for storing and filling hydrogen tanks is much different than normal gasoline so a reworking of fueling stations would be needed for hydrogen cars to become mainstream.
Another challenge with hydrogen cars is the source of hydrogen. Although hydrogen is plentiful in nature, it occurs in combined forms and separating it from other molecules is not a simple task. It can be done in two alternative methods. One is by electrolysis of water which even though it gives little amount of hydrogen, it can be enhanced through large scale production of hydrogen. The other alternative which is commonly used is by getting it from natural gas. The main challenge with this problem is that it causes pollution from the burning of the natural gas, which we are trying to avoid as much as possible. These are the issues designers and engineers are working on and in time, hydrogen cars will become more and more popular and a more common sight out on the road!

The social media marketing series on TalkFloor continues with Advanced LinkedIn! Here is a link to the three interviews in this Advanced LinkedIn segment.
In the last session, we did an introduction and overview of LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a powerful social networking platform as we discussed in the last session. It's considered the #1 resource for marketing your business.
In Advanced LinkedIn, we cover some of the advanced features – Groups, Answers, Event, Search.
Dave and I are both on LinkedIn, so please do connect with us.
As a reminder, you should definitely set up a profile on LinkedIn – it's free. Complete it 100% paying attention to using relevant keywords and include a photo. Claim your personalized URL; link your website and blog to your profile. Connect your Twitter account if you have one. Then, update your status regularly – I use Outlook to remind myself. Connect with people you meet and share relevant links and resources.
Within your individual LinkedIn profile, you can join up to 50 groups. Groups are a great opportunity to reach and engage with potential customers online.
The first step is to search existing groups based on keywords your consider relevant to determine if one already exists. If yes, join it. Familiarize yourself with the group's guidelines; read through existing conversation threads; do some research on those who actively participate and start getting involved.
Definitely consider researching successful groups so you understand what makes them work, what kinds of questions does the moderator ask? How frequently do new discussions start? What are the group's dynamics? Just a few people or a wide range of perspectives? What is the tone of the discussion?
If a group doesn't exist, create one!
For a group to be successful, it's important to actively manage it and encourage discussion. If you don't it will become overrun with spammy self-promotion rather than valuable insights.
It's a good idea to develop and post guidelines for group interaction [be respectful, no self-promotion, what topics are acceptable, etc.]. Post those as a featured discussion so everyone can find them. When you welcome new members, send them a link to the guidelines. By the way, you can send announcements to the members of the group; you can import your blog feed into the News section. You can also directly message group members even if you aren't connected to them. LinkedIn has added a lot of rich functionality to groups.
Please note: as with all social media and social networking tools, this will take focused time and effort to generate success. You are building a community.
It's a good idea to spend time beforehand determining what your objective is and how you will add value. You can then prepare a content plan and develop a content calendar.
For example, let's take the TalkFloor group which has ~ 518 members. You'll notice a wide range of flooring related conversations: from green cleaning, to window treatments in flooring stores, to some self-promotion. You have prominent industry people engaged [e.g., Warren Tyler], but it isn't actively managed.
Then, consider one new industry topic per month. Let's say for September it's 'Cash for Caulkers"; develop 4 subthemes for each week of September related to Cash for Caulkers.
1. Recap legislation. How does this affect you?
2. Implications for consumers? How can you benefit?
3. Environmental repercussions. How can you benefit?
4. How does it relate to the flooring industry reports on the state of the flooring industry?
Perhaps each theme/subtheme relates to TalkFloor interviews that Dave has done.
Dave might invite industry experts to help ask and answer questions with each sub-theme. Possibly CRI Government Affairs can give a big picture overview of Cash for Caulkers from a legislative perspective?
Dave might invite Stuart Hirschhorn to answer data questions about the flooring industry.

Gothic Reviews
Gabriel Byrne and Julian Sands play poets Byron and Shelley in Ken Russell's vision of the 1816 party that induced Mary Shelley (Natasha Richardson) to write "Frankenstein." Claire: Myriam Cyr. Polidori: Timothy Spall.
At a Swiss villa on the night of June 16, 1816, Lord Byron (Gabriel Byrne); Percy Bysshe Shelley (Julian Sands); his 19-year-old mistress, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (soon to be Shelley) (Natasha Richardson); her half-sister, Claire Clairmont; and Byron's personal physician, Dr. John Polidori, gathered to invent ghost stories. That evening, two classics of gothic horror literature were born: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Polidori's The Vampyre, the latter an influential precursor to Bram Stoker's Dracula. In GOTHIC, this historic occasion is transformed into a deranged sex-and-blood orgy of cinematic excess by the Bacchus of filmmaking himself, Ken Russell, who takes an interesting premise and creates a film that plays more like a 1960s drug-trip romp (complete with bisexuality, homosexuality, incest, miscarriages, and suicide) than a gothic horror story. GOTHIC is a frustrating film, its premise is so full of compelling potential that Russell's subsequent mindless pretensions and wanton decadence serve only to annoy and anger. To be sure, the bizarre, tortured lives of those involved make for some perversely fascinating dramatics, but Russell presents his Romantics as if they were escapees from the local asylum. To his credit, he does manage to present some memorable horrific images, including a hallucinogenic vision in which a woman's nipples are transformed into eyeballs. Although Russell keeps the parade of vulgar images coming at a furious pace, GOTHIC becomes boring, excessive, and repetitive, leaving the viewer hoping that Mary Shelley will wake up and write a lot sooner than she finally does.


During the 1980's, on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 154, I used to visit the local high schools and speak to the twelfth grade history classes about my experiences in Vietnam. Our visit usually began with a slide show synchronized to Billy Joel's song, Goodnight Saigon. Fellow chapter members contributed personal pictures for the carousel to support this educational venture. After all, most history books and classes taught very little about the war and how it affected mostly the "Baby Boomer" generation. This was just one way of getting the word out.
These teenage students were in awe during the presentation, they stared at the screen – faces exhibited a mix of emotions. There was no stirring in the room; the students sat transfixed by the images before them and remained extremely attentive during the one hour we were there.
When informed that the soldiers in the slide show were only a year older than they were, the students all looked to one-another in disbelief. Heads began to shake negatively, and comments like, "no way, not this kid!" turned into a chorus. Video games had not yet been invented, so this was new territory for them.
It was difficult for them to fathom that food, water, clothing and personal hygiene functions were not readily available in the jungle. In the food department, all meals consisted of canned c-rations; your menu and amount of food depended upon how much you wanted to carry on your back.
Doesn't sound like much, but try going to the supermarket and collecting a dozen various sized cans of spaghetti, veggies, fruit and meat. Weight meant everything in the bush and having to carry any more than what was needed was senseless; average weight of a filled rucksack was sixty-five pounds. Why add more?
It's the same for water – you have what you carry. During the dry season, water sources were not readily available and each soldier had to carry a minimum of six one-quart canteens just to get him through to the next resupply – three to four days later. So, without water, the ability to take care of personal hygiene needs such as washing your face, hands, hair or feet was a rare occurrence.
During the monsoon season, it rained daily for months, and water was plentiful. Bomb craters would fill with water and were sources for both drinking water and bathing; not in the same one.
Canteens filled from these craters must be treated first with iodine tablets to kill parasites and other "swimming stuff" before it could be consumed. The water was murky colored and had a slight smell, but after thirty minutes, it was supposedly safe for drinking. There really wasn't a choice. Packets of Kool Aide always helped to camouflage the metallic taste when iodine was used.
The jungle fatigues worn by the soldiers were lightweight and designed to dry quickly. However, during these humps through the jungle, fatigues were usually soaked with sweat, ripped by thorny vines, worn by repeated sitting and crawling on the ground and were never available in your size. Extra clothing came out on the resupply every three to four days, but only enough for usually half of the men. As a result, only the worst cases got replacements. Everyone else had to wait until the next resupply. It was not uncommon for us to wear the same fatigues for three weeks or longer. By that time, most are a whitish color from evaporating sweat, stiff and brown from dried mud, and torn throughout. The standing joke was that once removed, the trousers could stand on their own accord.
Returning to the firebase after a month in the jungle was well received by everyone – except those who were on the firebase. They gave us a wide berth and tried to stay as far away from us as possible. The stench of the returning warriors was unbearable to those greeting them at the gate. Many of us laughed because we didn't notice anything different in the way we smelled, however, we were quick to notice a clean and sterile, soapy smell as we entered the compound. It's weird but true.
Food, water and clothes were in abundance at the firebase – everyonecould now eat, drink and shower to as much as they chose. This short visit only lasts for three days. Then, it was time to leave on another month-long jungle adventure.
These are the simple things in life that most people take for granted. Have you ever had to go a day or two without food or water because you didn't pack enough? What about the need to wear the same clothing continuously for a couple of weeks or more? How about not being able to bathe or wash up for weeks at a time? It is difficult to imagine living like this, but to the young soldiers in the Vietnam jungles, this was a way of life. Unfortunately, these conditions contributed to a malady of skin diseases such as boils, ringworm, jungle rot, severe rashes and infected cuts and lesions. Nobody was spared. It was not pretty!
The school asked us to return the following year and informed us that they were going to expand it to the entire high school student body. That was great news!

Tenaya (died 1853) was a leader of the Ahwahnechee people in Yosemite Valley, California.
Tenaya's father was a leader of the Ahwahnechee people (or Awahnichi). The Ahwahneechee had become a tribe distinct from the other tribes in the area. Lafayette Bunnell, the doctor of the Mariposa Battalion, wrote that "Ten-ie-ya was recognized, by the Mono tribe, as one of their number, as he was born and lived among them until his ambition made him a leader and founder of the Paiute colony in Ah-wah-ne."
The Ahwahneechee occupied Yosemite Valley until a sickness destroyed most of them. The few Ahwahneechee left Yosemite Valley and joined the Mono Lake Paiutes in the eastern Sierra Nevada. Tenaya's father married a Mono Paiute woman and Tenaya was born from that union. Tenaya grew up amongst his mother's people.
An Ahwahneechee medicine man and friend of his Father persuaded a young Tenaya to return. Tenaya took the few remnants of the Ah-wah-nee-chees that had been living with the Monos and Paiutes and reestablished themselves in Yosemite Valley with him as their leader. Tenaya had four wives.
The Ahwahneechee were a powerful tribe feared by the surrounding Miwok tribes. The surrounding tribes called them Yosemite meaning "they are killers." Others say the name is a corruption of the word "Uzumati" meaning "grizzly bear" which was the totem of the larger of the two main social subdivisions of the band. By 1851, conflicts between the non-indigenous miners and the Native Americans in the Sierra started to increase. The state of California decided to send the Natives to reservations. The Mariposa Battalion was formed to carry out the relocation. Tenaya agreed to move to the Fresno Reservation, instead of the destruction of his entire band. Many of his band left Yosemite Valley instead of following Tenaya. As they approached the Fresno reservation, they fled back to the Yosemite Valley. The Brigade then re-entered the Valley, captured Tenaya's sons, and killed his youngest son. Tenaya then agreed to go back to the reservation.
By the summer of 1851, Tenaya grew tired of the reservation. He gave his pledge that he would not disturb any non-indigenous people. However, in 1852, a group of prospectors were killed in the Valley. Tenaya and his band fled to join the Mono Paiutes. He returned to the Valley in 1853. He was stoned to death in a dispute with the Mono Paiutes over stolen horses. The remaining survivors who were not killed were taken back to Mono Lake and absorbed into the Mono Lake Paiute population.
Another version of the story says that in the spring of 1852, a party of eight prospectors entered the Valley. One of the prospectors had lured his comrades there to kill them and take possession of a mine they held in partnership. He had incited the Yosemites to kill the intruders, arranging his escape and letting the blame fall on them. Late in the summer of 1853, Tenaya and some of the men of his band were playing a hand bone game with some Mono Indians. The gambling became tense and a fight broke out which ended with Tenaya being struck in the head with a rock crushing his skull along with several others of his band killed as well. As was their custom, they were cremated and wailing was heard for two weeks. After the death of their leader, the few remaining members dispersed between Mono Lake and to the near west.
Tenaya Lake was named after Tenaya. Tenaya Middle Schools in Fresno, California and Merced, California are named after him.

Amy Klobuchar: How to stop the Russian robots
By Amy Klobuchar |
During the summer of 2016, Melvin Redick was — like many of us — posting his thoughts about the election on Facebook. Melvin's profile painted a picture of an all-American family man from Harrisburg, Pa. He was a dad who likes baseball and cares about his country.
But Melvin was hiding something: He wasn't a real person. He was a fake account created to influence the U.S. electorate. We have since learned that there were thousands of Melvins, controlled by the Russians, posting on social media during the 2016 presidential election. And they weren't just creating fake accounts to spread misinformation. They were also buying political advertisements designed to influence American voters.
It is illegal for foreign entities to buy political ads in the United States. But that didn't stop the purchase of thousands of political ads on Facebook, paid for — in rubles — by foreigners.
The reason is simple and scary: Our campaign finance laws have left open an enormous loophole for foreign actors to secretly violate our campaign finance laws and possibly influence our elections. It's time we update the laws so that online platforms are held to the same transparency standards as other companies that sell political advertisements.
More than a decade ago, Congress passed the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act to regulate political advertisements. It's the law that requires politicians to say, "I approve this message." It also requires groups that run ads supporting or opposing a specific issue to disclose who paid for them, and it requires broadcasters to keep a file — available to the public — of the political advertisements they sell.
The Supreme Court, time and again, has upheld these disclosure requirements because voters have a right to know who is giving them political information during an election. But as technology has changed, we have failed to keep up with this standard because Internet and digital ads are often exempt from the transparency standards established by law.
Political ads on the Internet are more popular now than ever before. In 2016, more than $1.4 billion was spent on digital advertisements, nearly eight times more than the amount spent in 2012. But there is little transparency and accountability when it comes to disclosing information about these ads. And without transparency, there is no ability to know if foreign governments are purchasing the ads. This leaves our election system vulnerable to foreign influence.
Election security is national security, and we have to start acting like it. Russian robots have shown us that we need to hold online platforms such as Facebook, Google and Twitter to the same transparency requirements as traditional broadcasters, radio and satellite providers. That's why I am introducing legislation with Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) that would require major online platforms to keep a public file of the political ads they sell and to ensure that ads are not illegally purchased by foreign nationals. While voluntary efforts are always welcome, we need to put this in law so it applies to all.
In the 21st century, our adversaries will continue to use cyberattacks against us. We need to be prepared to defend our networks against this growing threat to our democracy, especially the most fundamental part of our political system: our elections.
We have only a year until the 2018 election. Congress must act now — not after the next breach and not after the next "Melvin Redick" strikes again. The American people and our democracy deserve nothing less.
Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, represents Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. She wrote this column for the Washington Post.
Letters: Now, all of a sudden, there's a border crisis?
Manufactured? It seems like barely a year ago the Democrats were declaring that the security and humanitarian crisis at the border was nonsense. Manufactured by the Trump administration, they said. Now, all of a sudden with a campaign in full swing they're bemoaning the border crisis and blaming the administration while they continue to do nothing about it. Did this...

Letters: Student loan forgiveness isn't some wild-eyed hippie ideal
A recent editorial cartoon featured a senior citizen paying off student loans contrasted with a new graduate "voting for Bernie" and burning his debt notice. Following that logic, I guess we never should have cured polio since it's not fair to those who had it. Or perhaps we shouldn't have veteran's benefits, civil rights laws or food assistance, since that...
Robert Zaretsky: We need a mandatory retirement age for us professors
As I prepare for my 30th year as a humanities professor, I have noticed an odd paradox shared by the American academy and the Democratic Party: While our political tenets are progressive, our professional tendencies are conservative.
