Gertrude Elion: In a Class of Her Own
by Jordan Namerow
The 2007 Nobel Prize laureates in Physics were announced this week—Albert Fert from France and Peter Gruenberg from Germany, both credited for the first successful applications of "nanotechnology" to radically reduce the size while radically increasing the storage of computer hard-drives. With their impressive credentials, Fert and Gruenberg seem to fit the mold for this award in a profession in which male + Ph.D is a likely pairing. But following the announcement, I was pleasantly reminded of chemist Gertrude Elion, a 1988 Nobel Prize recipient, who most certainly did not fit this mold, and who didn't think much of it: "Women in chemistry and physics? There's nothing strange about that."

Emperor-in-Hiding Trudeau Pokes His Head out to Lie About Truckers While Loving on BLM
in Cultural Marxism, Government, Propaganda, Science, Truth
If society collapses, do you have the medical supplies you need? Check out "The Medic," or as I like to call it, the Big Daddy of first aid kits.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a brief statement about the protests happening in Ottawa for the last three days. He started by telling lies, injected some virtue signaling, then ended by telling more lies.
"I have attended protests and rallies in the past when I agreed with the goal, when I supported the people expressing the concerns and issues; Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that," he said. "But I have also chosen to not go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and a disrespect, not just of science but of the frontline health workers, and quite frankly the 90% of truckers who have been doing the right thing to keep Canadians safe and put food on our tables."
He ended his speech from an undisclosed location by warning other politicians to not support freedom. "Canadians know where I stand. This is a moment for responsible leaders to think carefully about where they stand and who they stand with."
NOW – Canada's PM Justin Trudeau accuses the trucker convoy crowd of "hateful rhetoric" and "violence toward citizens," he rather prefers to attend BLM protests. pic.twitter.com/JpPhpTKZhm
— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 31, 2022
Let's unpack that. First, he claims he has attended rallies and protests in the past. If by "attended" he means made an appearance, then that may be true. But there are no records indicating he has ever been an active attendee at protests, including any Black Lives Matter protests that he invoked for virtue-signaling purposes.
He then claimed he doesn't attend protests with hateful rhetoric or violence against fellow citizens. Which is it? He can't say he attended BLM protests but didn't attend protests that have hateful rhetoric or violence towards citizens. To say he support Black Lives Matter protests but doesn't support hateful rhetoric or violence is like saying he eats only healthy food while scarfing down a Big Mac. BLM protests have been marked by some of the most hideous violence in modern times. This part of his speech is utterly ludicrous, requiring either an extreme degree of cognitive dissonance or a complete disrespect for the intelligence of his audience.
He tried to highlight that 90% of truckers are "doing the right thing" in an attempt to equate that number to the percentage of them who have been vaccinated. It was a carefully worded statement that is completely disingenuous. There are 90% of truckers in Canada who are not protesting in Ottawa. It's astounding that 10% of truckers are NOT "doing the right thing" by protesting. 10% is an astronomical number as a percentage of truckers attending the protest. But many if not most who are not participating are supportive of what their fellow truckers are doing.
The only thing that keeps Justin Trudeau from being the worst leader in North American history is that the current occupant of the White House is even worse.

Q: How to change default background of dropdown of select multiple When the page whith  is loading, it is the default color in the list of options (in chrome it # c8c8c8, faerfoks in blue). How to chenge it / make transparent? I tried different combinations of pseudo-classes and js - all in vain. When you click on an option it works.  For examle:

<select multiple>
   <option selected>1111111</option>
   <option selected>222222222</option>
   <option selected>33333333</option>
   <option selected>44444444</option>
</select>

I haven`t access to the server part, where this list is forming.

A: You're loading the page with four selected elements, just remove the selected attribute on the ones you don't want the page to load in grey.

select option {
  background-color: red;
}

select option[selected] {
  background-color: blue;
}
<select multiple>
    <option>1111111</option>
    <option>222222222</option>
    <option selected>33333333</option>
    <option>44444444</option>
</select>

A: Just remove the selected attribute on the ones you don't want the page to load in grey.

A: The reason the options are highlighted gray instead of blue is that they aren't in focus. When you click on an element it is focused on, so the options will be changed to blue like you want. (If you then click away from the select they will be changed back to gray). Use the autofocus property to focus on this element automatically.

<select multiple autofocus="autofocus">
   <option selected>1111111</option>
   <option selected>222222222</option>
   <option selected>33333333</option>
   <option selected>44444444</option>
</select>

If you wish to change the default color schemes, use the css focus selector
select:focus {/*Add styles for in focus*/}
select:not(:focus) {/*Add styles for not in focus*/}

You are selecting four options, so if you only meant to select one see @KyleDumovic 's answer
Good luck!

One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is Fox in Socks. I just love the silly tongue twister tales. Let's have some fun in the style of this awesome author by writing and reading some of our own. Many tongue twisters use alliteration. Alliteration is repeating a particular sound in the first syllables of a series of words or phrases. Try this strategy. Choose a letter to focus on for your alliteration. Brainstorm a list of 10-12 adjectives, nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech that begin with this letter. Try to create a short story using these words in a combination of simple and complex sentences. Share your tongue twister in a comment so we can try out your tricky tale.
Here are 2 that Mrs. Moore tried.
The bright, blue balloon broke loose from boy's box.
Boy used broom to bring bright, blue balloon back to box.
Silly boy. Bright, blue balloons don't go back in box.
Skunk skipped to the Slippers and Shiny Shoes Store.
Skunk shouted when she spotted six, slick, slimy shoes.
Should she stop and sling the shoes into the sink?
Some shoes slipping. Some shoes sliding.
Slowly she stood on a stool, scooped up the shoes, and shoved them onto the shelf.
Share one of your own tongue twister tales.
What's a strategy we should use when writing with alliteration?
hi,Sam here…..I liked the book "Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess because the cat wore a tie and a hat. My favorite part of the book was when the house got messy and they cleaned his mess before he went away. Very Funny!! It is an easy book for a beginning reader.
Hey everybody! Our third grade classes are working on an Author Scavenger Hunt. Check out some of the cool things we learned.

ALPHAMAMA Releases Poignant New Single, 'Go Back To Where You Came From'
by Lisa Hafey	| Posted on 07/12/2020
R&B singer ALPHAMAMA reclaims the racist slogan, "Go Back To Where You Came From" with her new single of the same name. The soulful and tender song tells of her own experiences growing up as a mixed race child in the Western Suburbs of Sydney.
ALPHAMAMA says,
"This song is dedicated to all people who have felt lost, confused, and stuck between cultural identities."
The song is the first single from her upcoming 17 track album, 'HoneyFire', which is expected to be released next year. It takes a close examination of the hurt and cruelty the phrase causes, and the accompanying identity crisis.
"Ultimately this became a call to find a spiritual identity that is infinite and free from gender, race and other human constructs. This song is me telling my story."
Inspired by her upbringing, where she grew up playing music and singing in her father's Indonesian Pentecostal Church, ALPHAMAMA merges ceremony with song, and provides an important voice as an outspoken feminist woman of colour in the Australian music scene. Her previous releases have seen great success, being added to many Spotify playlists and 'HoneyFire' is certain to follow suit.
ALPHAMAMA came up with the name soon after she became a mother, and wears it to honour all the powerful women in her family, as well as all over the world. She has risen as a leader in the Australian hip hop scene, and has worked with icons such as Salt N' Pepa, and peers such as Thundamentals & Tuka, Nardean, and Set Mo, among many others.
'Go Back To Where You Came From' is a laid back and very catchy R&B song, with a pleasant instrumental and ALPHAMAMA's gorgeous voice, as well as lilting backing vocals, which help to convey the powerful message of the lyrics.
You can stream and download 'Go Back To Where You Came From' here.

Sturrock: Let's re-discover our groove
Blues boss wants his side to get back to way they were playing before New Year
Paul Sturrock wants Blues to re-discover their groove against Chesterfield this weekend after a welcome rest.
Blues had played every Saturday and Tuesday for nearly a month, so the postponement of Saturday's game against Plymouth – and no midweek game this week – has given Blues a chance to rest.
And Sturrock believes his side we come back with a spring in their step this weekend against Chesterfield in League 2.
"The weather has been good in a sense and bad in another way," said Paul. "Obviously having Saturday's game called off was a blessing really for the players.
"But it is now causing problems with training and our build-up to the game on Saturday.
"We're very fortunate in that we are able to use the David Beckham centre in London which is an indoor facility and will allow us to train and work on a number of things."
Paul says it's important that his side get back to basics and hopes a week's worth of training will help do that. He added: "I think it's vital we get back to the basics.
"A few of the players need to be reminded of their roles and what their job is in the team, so having a week of training should help.
"When you've got games every Tuesday and Saturday you're spending all your time recovering and one day preparing.
"We have got to start doing the things we were doing before our form dipped, and the only way to do that is by working very hard in training."
With Blues all rested, Paul is keen for the game to go ahead this weekend against Chesterfield to avoid a further backlog.
"We are desperate for the game to go ahead because we don't want more of a fixture pile-up later in the season," he said.
"The players have rested over the weekend with one game being postponed so we don't want anymore to fall foul to the weather.
"Should that happen though, I just hope the decision is made early to avoid unnecessary travelling in these conditions."

Q: Castle Dynamic Proxy in Windsor Container I've got a bit of a problem. I'm working in the Castle Windsor IOC Container. Now what i wanted to do is just mess about with some AOP principles and what i specifically want to do is based on a method name perform some logging. I have been looking at Interceptors and at the moment i am using the IInterceptor interface implemented as a class to perform this logging using aspects. The issue is if i want to perform the logging on a specific method then it gets messy as i need to put in some logic into my implemented aspect to check the method name etc...
I have read that you can do all of this using Dynamic Proxies and the IInterceptorSelector interface and the IProxyGenerationHook interface. I have seen a few examples of this done on the net but i am quite confused how this all fits into the Windsor container. I mean i am using the windsor container which in my code is actually a ref to the IWindsorContainer interface to create all my objects. All my configuration is done in code rather than XML.
Firstly does anyone know of a way to perform method specific AOP in the windsor container besides the way i am currently doing it.
Secondly how do i use the Dynamic Proxy in the windsor container ?
Below i have added the code where i am creating my proxy and registering my class with
the interceptors
ProxyGenerator _generator = new ProxyGenerator(new PersistentProxyBuilder());
IInterceptorSelector _selector = new CheckLoggingSelector();
var loggingAspect = new LoggingAspect();
var options = new ProxyGenerationOptions(new LoggingProxyGenerationHook())
                  { Selector = _selector };
var proxy = _generator.CreateClassProxy(typeof(TestClass), options, loggingAspect);
TestClass testProxy = proxy as TestClass;

windsorContainer.Register(
Component.For<LoggingAspect>(),
Component.For<CheckLoggingAspect>(),
Component.For<ExceptionCatchAspect>(),
Component.For<ITestClass>()
    .ImplementedBy<TestClass>()
    .Named("ATestClass")
    .Parameters(Parameter.ForKey("Name").Eq("Testing"))
    .Proxy.MixIns(testProxy));

The Test Class is below:
public class TestClass : ITestClass
{
    public TestClass()
    {

    }

    public string Name
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    public void Checkin()
    {
        Name = "Checked In";
    }
}

as for the interceptors they are very simple and just enter a method if the name starts with Check.
Now when i resolve my TestClass from the container i get an error.
{"This is a DynamicProxy2 error: Mixin type TestClassProxy implements IProxyTargetAccessor which is a DynamicProxy infrastructure interface and you should never implement it yourself. Are you trying to mix in an existing proxy?"}
I know i'm using the proxy in the wrong way but as i haven't seen any concrete example in how to use a proxy with the windsor container it's kind of confusing.
I mean if i want to use the LoggingProxyGenerationHook which just tell the interceptors to first for methods that start with the word "check" then is this the correct way to do it or am i completely on the wrong path. I just went down the proxy way as it seems very powerfull and i would like to understand how to use these proxies for future programming efforts.

A: By using .Interceptors() you already are using Dynamic Proxy. When component has specified interceptors Windsor will create proxy for it, and use these interceptors for it. You can also use method .SelectedWith and .Proxy property to set other options you already know from DynamicProxy.
I just added a website about Windsor AOP to documentation wiki. There's not much there yet, but I (and Mauricio ;) ) will put there all the information you need. Take a look, and let us know if everything is clear, and if something is missing.

Kirwan Print Group owner Roger Kirwan narrowly avoided death at the weekend, as an out of control ute careered into the outside café table where he was sharing a coffee with two friends, one of whom was killed instantly.
Witnesses say the ute was travelling at high speed, before jumping a curb, ploughing into Kirwan's table, and coming to a halt when it smashed into a pillar.
Five other people were seriously injured, with Kirwan himself hospitalised after sustaining several fractures in the incident, which occurred at a Starbucks in a Salt Lake City suburb, where Kirwan had stopped en route to a print conference in Florida.
Kirwan's coffee companion who died in the accident was 48-year-old Salt Lake City resident Joslyn Spilsbury. The 34-year-old ute driver West Walker survived, as did his two children aged six and seven who were in the cab with him. Police have yet to speak to the driver as he is in hospital, but believe a medical issue may have been behind the deadly crash.

Q: I have sketched my integrated circuit for an RFID tag. How do I make it to a real physical product? I'm in a situation where I want to create a real prototype of an RFID tag. I have sketched all the IC in a paper. I got a problem, I want to build this to a real size RFID tag and we want to create the IC ourself if it is possible. I know a little about the process of creating a real physical product. So could someone experienced in this field help me with the next steps for creating a real physical product. What kind of equipments is needed for creating an IC?

A: (rawbrawb has already given an excellent answer on costs, so I will focus more on a design flow)
Getting an IC manufactured is a much more complex process than getting another product (e.g. a circuit board) manufactured, there are many more steps involved.
From what I remember from my IC design classes, you will probably need a full custom design (down to the transistor level, rather than designing at the logic gates level). You would do something like:

*

*Get a deep understanding of analog, digital and RF IC design. Digital work will usually be done with VHDL or Verilog, but for analog you don't have much of a choice.

*Learn the design flow (schematic, layout, DRC, LVS) with simple circuits (amplifiers, comparators, logic gates etc...) for your chosen tool (Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys etc... - there are some open-source tools for that but I don't know how good are they). Those tools are quite expensive, but your university (if you're a student) likely has access to them if they have an education program in microelectronics.

*Read papers from people that have done similar stuff to you, to get a feel for what technologies to use. Go to conferences and talk to other designers. Decide on a technology and find how much it will cost.

*Get the transistor parameters for that technology (you will need this for your circuit simulations) and start designing. Get stuff working in simulation.

*All works? Layout it, run DRC and LVS to check that your design is manufacturable and that your layout matches the schematic; then, generate the files for manufacturing and submit them to the foundry.

*Design a testbench for your ICs to prove that they actually work.
This is just an example; in the real world, the series of steps is quite non-linear and iterative.
You might want to take a look at MOSIS, as they provide a more affordable way to get ICs manufactured. But even then, getting an IC (specially an RF IC) is a very complex task which require lots of specialized people.

A: In your previous question you ran afoul of using the wrong terminology.  What you are describing as a chip, technically is NOT an ASIC but would fall under the domain of a "full custom IC", this is the domain of analog circuits, sensors, ADC's, DAC's etc.
Some of the same tools and techniques are used in sub-blocks in Full Custom designs, but what is lacking in an ASIC flow are standard blocks for inductors, antennae, RF modulators etc.
- and again, this is not universal as some companies have some of these cells available.
So the answer is not so black and white.  The other issue is that there are very few chip designers on this exchange so you get "sort of right" answers.  the details are what matters however.
Lets' talk foundry facing costs:
1st there is MOSIS
- which is a shuttle for many foundries across universities and industry.
2nd there are shuttle runs at a given foundry
The costs given in the other post for shuttle runs are approximately right, you get a limited amount of die at low cost, this applies to MOSIS and shuttles in general.  It is NOT a manufacturing solution as you cannot run that maskset again.  More for proof of principle.  Yields can be terrible because you cannot control what other people are putting down and that can affect your design.
3rd there is MLM at given foundry
- this is a Multi Layer Mask - which means that on a given mask there are reticles for multiple layers.  - meant for small scale manufacturing and is meant to reduce the cost of NRE (MASK costs).  For 180nm on 200 mm wafers (the reason I choose this is below), this will come in at around $10K, and around ~$2000 per wafer for a minimum of 12 wafers, you'd typically run 20 or more wafers with splits.  So maybe $25K.
I have done designs (5 so far)for customers where they ran a MLM mask set once, and then the 25 wafer lot stands them in good stead to support production for the next 5 years.  Foundry  was cool with that.
4th there is full mask set - for volume production.  NRE for fracture and masks will run you ~ $40K - $60K.   Wafers will run you $1000 - $1100 for low volume lot start.  So with NRE and the lot pricing the first lots out will cost you around $100K.  Costs can go as low as $600.
All the above assumes that you have the GDSII databases ready to run.
To get the layout and design done will cost you extra, mainly in labor costs.  And tool costs.
- as a bare minimum you'd need 1) a schematic tool, 2) Spice tool (you get the spice decks from the foundry) 3) layout tool, 4) LVS, DRC verification tool.
I'd recommend that you use industry standard LVS/DRC tools from Cadence or Mentor.  THese are expensive but there are many contractors who can do chip sign off for you using those tools for $3K -> $10K depending upon complexity.  Which beats renting the tool at $300K per year and having to learn how to use it.  But some grad student might be able to sneak in a run for you.
If you have a lot of digital you are now talking about these sub-blocks being more in the classical ASIC flow with Verilog/VHDL and then a Synthesis (using a library from the foundry) and then Place & Route (P&R) software to get the layout.  The synthesis and P&R tools are even more expensive per year.
Why did I choose 180 nm - 200 mm?  Well there are a number of foundries that are running these processes.  RF/ID doesn't run that fast - but 180 nm can go as fast as 1.5 GHz, which an handles an RFID chip easily.  And since these foundries are fully amortized they are relatively inexpensive.  I know of 4 -5 different foundries that will do one off runs and low volume.
If you decide you want sub 65 nm and 300 mm wafers then all these costs go out the window.
It really comes down to experience.   IF you haven't done it before then the learning curve is daunting and the chance of getting a chip running the first time is very low.
In experienced hands the design side could take $20K up to $2 Million, depending upon the design, it's complexity and the team's experience.
For small chips you can estimate # of chips per wafer by dividing area of wafer by area of die.  Use 180 mm (not 200 mm as there is a 10 mm boundary around the outside of the wafer) for wafer diameter.  also increase you die size by 100 u on width and also on height for the scribe lanes.  So if you have a 1mm by 1mm die this will get you Pi*90^2/1.1^2 ~= 21,000 gross die.
Die size can be estimated with by searching on line for transistor density figures that are published.


A video press release involves the senses in a way that text-only press releases can't. It's a recorded video version of the same information but with sound and imagery bringing it to life. Media experts have found that over half of viewers take further action after exposure to an online news video.
There are a numerous reasons as to why web and video communications initiatives do not generate optimal results. When organizations use video content that is very lengthy or exaggerate the message, viewers will not engage. While video marketing content does not need to be magnificently good, web video productions do need to be watchable. Viewers will not watch videos that are poorly edited or uninteresting.

Golf Captain Feature: Pranav Tadikonda '16
Golf: Co-Captain Pranav Tadikonda '16 Shoots Under-Par
Golf Captain Feature: Peter Hahn '16
Captain Feature • Apr 7, 2016
Two Victories Propel Andover Golf to 4-1 Record
Golf • Apr 23, 2016
Entering his Senior season as Co-Captain of Andover Golf, Pranav Tadikonda '16 will look to guide Andover back to its successful ways after losing to rivals Exeter, Deerfield, and Tabor last year.
While his primary goal is to avenge Andover's losses, Tadikonda also aims to maintain a welcoming and upbeat team atmosphere this season. A four-year Senior from Burlington, Mass., Tadikonda has been on the team since his Junior year and has competed at the varsity level since his Lower year.
Tadikonda began playing at the age of three and credits his early beginnings to his father's love of the sport. While he showed promise from the start, he put his career on halt at eight-years old to focus more on baseball. Before starting his Junior year at Andover, he rediscovered his passion for the sport.
"I came to Andover with pretty high expectations for myself as a golfer, and my first year I made the team but didn't play varsity, which was pretty humbling for me. I realized that while I had some talent, there were a lot of parts in my game that needed a lot of work to get to the varsity level," said Tadikonda.
His teammates praise him for his leadership skills on the course, as well as for the supportive environment he creates for the team. Additionally, his high level of play is well admired amongst his teammates.
"Pranav boasts a strong drive and his surprising distance throughout his irons. He putts extremely well, as one-putts are commonplace for him. He doesn't have many weaknesses in his game, so his strong play on the course makes him a well deserved Captain," wrote Cam Kerry '16, a returning player, in an email to The Phillipian.
Newcomer Alex Cleveland '18 said, "Pranav embodies everything you want in a Captain. He encourages everyone on the team to give their best day in and day out. His work ethic is unparalleled, which is why I think a lot of people look up to him as a mentor."
Tadikonda emphasizes having fun and creating a team culture that fosters personal growth. He credits former Captains Shin-Jae Lee '13, John Perkins '13, Kavan Canekeratne '14, and Tyler Tsay '15 as figures that inspire how he and Co-Captain Peter Hahn '16 lead the team.
"I think having fun is one of the biggest things that Peter and I have tried to emphasize this year because the last three years, there wasn't a day where we didn't want to go on the course. We wanted the team this year to have an environment and a culture that allows players to grow and learn, not only as golfers but as citizens of the game," said Tadikonda.
Looking ahead, Tadikonda's main goal for himself and for the team is to beat Phillips Exeter Academy throughout the season, since the teams face each other twice before their final match.
"We want to beat Exeter. We beat them [my] Freshman and Lower year, and then last year they got the best of us and [have not lost] too many players [this year]. For Peter and I, as Captains, it would be really, really cool to go out the way that we came in, with a couple of wins over Exeter," said Tadikonda.

St. Louis Rams position battles: A closer look at the running back competition
The St. Louis Rams have a few running backs on their roster that will be battling to stick to the 53 man roster.
By Tevin Broner Jul 25, 2014, 9:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: St. Louis Rams position battles: A closer look at the running back competition
Scott Kane-USA TODAY Sports
One of the most interesting battles in camp for the Rams will revolve around the running back position. Which is a big difference from prior years when All-Pro Steven Jackson was the starter. The Rams don't have Jackson anymore, but this season the Rams will run the ball early and often with Zac Stacy and a powerful offensive line that is ready to smash into defenders. These running backs will be expected to perform well.
The Starters
When the Rams drafted Stacy last season no one expected him to become a full time starter during his rookie season. Stacy didn't start the season, but when he was given a chance to play he shined. The Rams decided that he would be the key to their offense.
Heading into training camp Stacy is numero uno. Stacy is coming off of a year where he almost rushed for 1,000 yards. This year the workhorse should be more of a factor for the Rams early in the season, especially with quarterback Sam Bradford returning from injury.
Will the real backup please rush up
The Rams drafted Tre Mason in the third round and expectations are high for him. In fact some people think that he could replace Stacy as the starter. Now, could he replace Stacy? Who knows, but the Rams have labeled him a change-of-pace back which just means that the Rams plan on giving him the ball. He will be competing against Benny Cunningham, the backup last season.
Who will win the battle to backup Stacy? Well it's hard not to think that Mason will get the first crack at the job, but Cunningham won't give up the spot easily.
The fourth spot on the depth chart will more than likely come down to upside and special teams. Long gone are the times when Isaiah Pead was expected to perform like a second round pick and become a starter, his role will be on special teams. Chase Reynolds will push Pead on special teams too.
It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Rams cancel the Pead experiment and move on during the preseason.


The Ultrasonic Gas-phase Cleaning Machine is sealed type with manipulator driving transportation rack, loading by special material baskets, step-type conveying cleaning technology and pneumatic elevator to transport material. Using organic solvent such as trichloroethylene as the cleaning medium to degrease the surface of the workpiece. Then having freeze-drying. The supersonic cleaner is suitable for the cleaning of the Heat Exchanger Parts.
The principle of gas-phase cleaning machine is as follow. When the solvent is heated, the steam forms the gas phase zone. In this area, the oil on the surface of the workpiece is dissolved and washed by steam. When the steam condenses, the dirt along with the grease falls back into the tank to become the cleaning fluid. Then, the cleaning fluid is heated and gasified into steam to clean the workpiece. This continuous cycle ensures the workpiece is always surrounded by the steam of cleaning fluid which overcomes the problem of contaminated cleaning fluid in the past common cleaning process.

How it Werx
These are standard pegboard specifications
by Dominic Taverniti December 29, 2022
What is the hole diameter on a pegboard?
How far apart are pegboard holes?
How thick are pegboards?
How much weight can a pegboard hold?
Standard pegboard storage and organization system
Pegboard holes are typically standardized to have a diameter of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). This size is commonly used in North America and is designed to fit standard pegboard pegs, which are also typically 1/4 inch in diameter. Some pegboards may have holes with a slightly different diameter, but 1/4 inch is the most common size. It is important to note that the size of the holes on a pegboard can vary, so it is always a good idea to measure the holes on your specific pegboard to ensure that you are using the correct size pegs.
The distance between the holes on a pegboard can vary depending on the specific pegboard that you are using. However, most pegboards have holes that are spaced on a grid of 1 inch (25.4 mm) centers. This means that the distance between the centers of two adjacent holes is 1 inch. Some pegboards may have holes that are spaced differently, so it is always a good idea to measure the distance between the holes on your specific pegboard to ensure that you are using the correct size pegs.
It is also worth noting that the spacing of the holes on a pegboard can affect the stability and security of the items that are hung on the pegboard. In general, items that are hung on a pegboard should be spaced at least 1 inch apart to ensure that they do not interfere with each other and to provide enough support for the items to stay securely in place.
The thickness of a pegboard can vary depending on the specific product that you are using. Pegboards are typically made from a material such as particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or perforated hardboard, and the thickness of the board can vary based on the specific material and the manufacturer's specifications.
In general, pegboards are available in thicknesses ranging from 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) to 3/4 inch (19.05 mm). Thicker pegboards may be more durable and able to hold heavier items, but they may also be more expensive and more difficult to install. It is important to consider the thickness of a pegboard when choosing a product to ensure that it is suitable for your intended use. You should also consider the size of the items that you plan to hang on the pegboard and the weight that the pegboard will need to support to determine the appropriate thickness for your needs.
The amount of weight that a pegboard can hold depends on a number of factors, including the material that the pegboard is made from, the thickness of the pegboard, the size and spacing of the holes, and the size and type of pegs that are used. In general, a pegboard made from a sturdy material such as particleboard or MDF and with a thickness of at least 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) will be able to hold a significant amount of weight. However, the maximum weight that a pegboard can hold can vary significantly depending on these and other factors.
It is important to consider the weight of the items that you plan to hang on the pegboard when choosing a product and installing it. You should also consider the size and spacing of the holes and the size and type of pegs that you will be using, as these can all affect the weight that the pegboard can support. It is generally a good idea to distribute the weight of the items evenly across the pegboard to ensure that it is able to support the load without sagging or becoming unstable.
Wallwerx wall storage and organization system is designed to securely attach to standard pegboards with 1/4 inch holes spaced on a 1 inch grid. The modular base is secured with two plastic brads that are simply pushed into the pegboard holes by hand. The Wallwerx module base is compatible with the jar holder attachment (fits standard mouth mason jars) that is currently sold as a 2 pack and 12 pack, and will be compatible with future pegboard organization system attachments such as hangers, hooks, pegboard magnet bar, and more.

Protect Graves Park! Protect Our Heritage!
0 have signed. Let's get to 5,000!
Friends of Graves Park started this petition to Sheffield City Council
Cobnar Cottage and the charitable land on which it stands were sold off in January 2016. Despite our campaign, we were unable to stop them going ahead with the sale. We believe that by selling this part of the park, the trustees (Sheffield City Council) broke the covenants.
The Friends of Graves Park have been battling to stop the Council selling off areas of Graves Park for the past 20 years. They sold off Bole Hill Farm and Chantrey Cottage, then tried to sell off the Nurseries Site, claiming it was "surplus to requirements". When we won this battle 18 years ago, the Charity Commission stipulated that the nurseries site should be returned to parkland. Over the next few years, the Council continued to dispute the charitable status of this part of the park and threatened to sell off the area by Chesterfield Road, unless the Friends agreed to houses being built across the south side of Graves Park. The Charity Commission disagreed and identified the area by Chesterfield Road as charitable land. The Friends continued with their project of restoring the nurseries site to parkland, had completed the wildlife area and were starting to make plans for the arboretum, when the Council again tried to dispose of the nurseries site, this time by moving St. Luke's hospice onto the site. Once again the Council claimed the site was derelict and surplus to requirements. The Friends and the citizens of Sheffield opposed this move and were supported in this view by the Charity Commission. Eventually the Friends were successful and an agreement was reached with the Council that all of Graves Park would be in future protected from sale or disposal. This was put into a Scheme in 2009, agreed by Sheffield City Council and the Charity Commission. We were told that no areas of the Graves Park Trust would ever be threatened with sale or disposal again. How wrong they were!
In 2014, the Council once again tried to break the covenants by selling Cobnar Cottage. They refused to consider any proposals put forward by the Friends. They would not even meet to discuss the idea of a stonemason doing up the cottage for free in return for living there. The Council said they had no need for a stonemason, no need for someone to repair the grade 2 listed walls for free, no need for someone to offer to train young people in the art of stonemasonry in the park.
As you probably know, the Council ignored a petition of more than 13,000 signatures and went ahead with the sale.
The Charity Commission at first agreed with the Friends' interpretation of the 2009 scheme and agreed that the cottage could not be sold. Then, in October 2015 they reversed this decision and supported the Council, after which anything the Friends said was ignored.
The Friends of Graves Park are determined to protect the park from further sale or disposal.
We believe that the Council would not hesitate to sell off further sections of Graves Park if they could. Since the sale of Cobnar Cottage, the Friends have engaged a legal team to try and protect Graves Park.
We are currently seeking a declaration of the 2009 Scheme. We also intend to pursue a change in the trustees of Graves Park, who we believe should be independent of the Council's cabinet.
Please support us by signing our petition. Please also spread the word.
If you can make a donation to our legal fees, this would be really helpful. It has already cost us a lot (money which could otherwise have been spent on improving the park, however we believe it is vital to protect the park from sale or disposal).
Support us in Protecting Graves Park!
Please share my name and email address with Friends of Graves Park, so that I can receive updates on this campaign and others.

Note: This article was updated in February of 2019.
First person shooters are by far the most popular games in the world. Due to their popularity, shooters have been made into the subject of movies based on video game licenses like Doom and Max Payne, and also used as influences in films like Gamer and Shoot 'Em Up. The flip side to that is that they've become the targets of lazy politicians and gun lobbyists who seek to blame their popularity on violence in schools instead of looking elsewhere—towards 'gun culture' in general, and to the availability of firearms at retailers.
Needless to say, shooters aren't going away any time soon, and some of them—such as the ones we've listed ahead, are entirely free to play so you can get a solid experience without having to pay a single cent for the experience. These games are completely free and tend to get updated with new content. It's worth noting that we are not listing these games in any particular order and all are worth checking out. Likewise, because these games are free-to-play the titles will come and go and as a result we'll continue to monitor the game and make note if any server shutdowns have been announced. As a result, please check back often for future updates.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is one of the earliest instances that a high quality, and fully polished first person shooter was made available for free beyond what was typically available in the form of mods for existing games. Developed by Splash Damage, it was originally designed as the multiplayer mode for Return to Castle Wolfenstein but was released instead as a free standalone download.
Enemy Territory: RTCW was a new breed of game that saw two teams—the Axis and Allies—battle each other not for flags or points, but for actual territory. With one team on defense and the other on offense, players on both teams were divided into various classes to better supplement their team's capabilities out on the field. Despite being over a decade old, the game still enjoys a healthy online community.
Dirty Bomb is a free-to-play first-person shooter from the makers of Brink, Quake Wars: Enemy Territory and the venerable Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It goes without saying that no one does class and objective-based multiplayer gameplay quite like Splash Damage, and it really shows with Dirty Bomb, which is a follow-up of the iterations and evolution of the multiplayer gameplay of their previous titles. Best thing about it is that it's free to play. A good game that's free? What more could you ask for?
Developed by Adhesive Games, Hawken is a first person shooter in which you pilot the body of a gigantic mech and fight your way across wartorn cities in conventional team deathmatch and free-for-all modes as well as a more in-depth "siege" mode that sees two teams fighting it out for the control of territory. Players can choose between three different classes of mechs, and instead of managing their ammo, they have to manage their heat—as their giant guns are prone to overheating when fired continuously making battles intense if you're dealing with multiple opponents at once.
Apex Legends was a surprise video game release from developers Respawn Entertainment. After EA had acquired the development studio, it was believed that the only real game on the development team's plate was Titanfall 3 but in early February of 2019, Apex Legends was announced along with released into the market. This is a battle royale video game title which takes place in the same universe of Titanfall. In fact, the game is set just a few decades after the events of Titanfall 2 and it plays similar to other battle royale focused titles such as Fortnite with mixed hero focused characters.
In the game, players are divided up into squads of three with a total of twenty teams. Each player then picks a character which will have their own unique abilities and attributes. When the match starts, players are dropped into a large map where they must rely on fellow teammates while scavenging for resources and weapons. As the map size shrinks, players must work on defeating all of the opposing teams in hopes that their team is the last standing. There are the traditional microtransactions within the game such as Respawn Entertainment's take on loot boxes but the title is certainly gaining plenty of gamers as already the title received over twenty million downloads in its first week.
Tribes Ascend is the successor to the highly successful Tribes series of games by Dynamix from over a decade ago. It's also the first one in the series to be entirely free to play. Players can enjoy the game by simply playing it for free or paying for weapon upgrades and additional utilities for their characters.
Much like the original games, Tribes Ascend allows players to traverse and battle across vast stretches of terrain and even board flying fortresses with jetpacks and ski to improve their speed while on the ground. Fans of the original games should feel at home with this one.
Team Fortress 2 offers a variety of game modes, ranging from simple Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch, to a mode called Push the Cart in which one team attempts to move a cart across the map while the other team sets up defenses to prevent it from going through. There's even a variety of variations on these modes, which see both teams pushing separate carts. The game also plays host to a variety of objective control modes and a bomb delivery mode.
In addition to all of those competitive team-vs-team modes, players can also indulge in a cooperative 'horde' mode called Mann vs Mann, which pitches players against throngs of robotic enemies across a variety of maps.
The game's complexity is increased several fold with the division of character classes, which help to provide players with discernible roles out on the field, and a large variety of weapons and customization. One of the game's biggest draws is its use of hats and other decorative equipment, which can be acquired simply by playing the game, or as bonuses for purchasing other games on Steam.
The original Planetside may have died a miserable death when developers were moved off its team, but SOE opted to give the franchise another chance with a sequel a few years later. The game rose out of the ashes of its predecessor like some mythical bird, soaring into the heavens and quickly became one of the most engrossing first person shooters to date.
Planetside 2 sees full scale battles taking place over the face of the planet Auraxis, where three distinct groups battle for territorial dominance. They have at their disposal numerous vehicles and weapons to allow for a futuristic experience of war. but be warned that this isn't a game that's easy to pick up and play. You'll need to invest some time in getting with a dedicated group of players and staging assaults, or you may find yourself lost and alone without a clue as to your objectives.
Note: This game is slated to be shutdown within March of 2019.
Blacklight Retribution is a sci-fi themed FPS in which players can join any number of servers to partake in online battles against many other players. The game is split across a variety of game types and maps, largely offering close quarters battles in which players engage in classic death match modes, capture the flag, or fight for dominance over specific objectives on the map.
Blacklight's maps are filled with weapon depots, in which players can purchase upgrades with points accumulated during play, for ammo, better weapons, and even hardsuits, small-sized mechs that can be mounted by players to provide an edge on the battlefield. One of the game's biggest feats is the customization of weapons and armor. Players can upgrade their kit by accumulating in-game money, which is acquired through play and leveling up, or use real-world currency to purchase these items permanently or lease them for a short period of time.
Warface was developed by Crytek which launched on the Windows platform back in 2013. The video game offered players different classes to choose from such as being a sniper, rifleman, engineer, or a medic . Within the game, players could be a Sniper, Rifleman, Engineer, or Medic and each of these classes offer their own different role that could come into play during matches.
Likewise, the game offered the ability for players to customize their weapons. However, most of these weapons require Warface Dollars and as expected Warface Dollars could be bought within the game through real currency. With that said, Warface Dollars is also a reward during matches thus allowing players the ability to enjoy the game a bit more freely than having to feel forced into spending money in order to play a bit more competitively. The game is still currently supported on the PC platform, however, since its launch on the Xbox 360 the port was officially discounted in 2015.
Developed under Bohemia Interactive, Argo is a tactical style shooter that launched in 2017. The video game is a free-to-play MMO that is set on a fictional island known as Malden where a space station has crashed. In the game, players are a mercenary for one of two rival factions in which the goal is to claim the remnants of the crashed space station. However, there are various modes available to enjoy as well such as Combat Patrol, where players must complete a variety of tasks or Link, a game mode that is set in a smaller map where players must hack a central computer. Another interesting aspect that may be well worth making a note about is that Argo features a scenario editor. Being a newer title, we expect Argo to stick around for quite some time.
Note: Currently in early access.
Quake Champions is the latest Quake main entry title since Quake 4 released in 2005. This is another fast-paced arena FPS where players will face against each other with a roster full characters that have their own unique abilities and traits. Likewise, you'll even find some new faces in the roster such as B.J. Blazkoicz from the Wolfenstein series along with the infamous Doomguy from the recently rebooted Doom franchise. If you like classic style Quake then this is definitely a must-play however, at the current moment the title is only in early access. Regardless, publishers Bethesda Softworks have stated that the game will be a free-to-play title and will be supported through various means such as a battle pass model that would give players an extra few cosmetics and in-game currency by completing select weekly challenges.
Often considered an Overwatch clone, Paladins is still a fantastic game. There are some slight differences between the two hero-based shooters, but you'll still find that each hero in Paladins will have their own unique abilities that they can bring in to the fight. Luckily, with Paladins, you can enjoy the game across several platforms making it a video game well worth trying out. With hero-based shooters becoming popular, Paladins is one of the video game titles that continues to make its way on gamers consoles and PCs. Likewise, the video game also holds a number of different gameplay modes which can be as simple as a Team Deathmatch or more focused missions type modes such as Onslaught where players must capture an area to gain points.
Line of Sight is another FPS title that launched in 2017. The video game was developed by BlackSpot Entertainment in which the developers call their video game as if BioShock series mashed with the Call of Duty franchise. Not only will players have a wide array of weapons to choose from in their battles, but developers also play on what they call psyonic abilities.
It's with this added psyonic abilities supernatural abilities that players can use towards their advantage in taking out opponents or as a means of a support. Likewise, there is a number of maps to go through as well with over twenty different locations scattered around the globe. If you're looking for a real free-to-play experience without other gamers spending money to improve their weapons or stats then Line of Sight may be your best bet. Developers have stated that there are no weapons that can be improved with real-world currency.
Another 2017 release that makes our list is Black Squad, an FPS that has quickly started to make a name for itself. The video game was developed by NS Studio and originally released in Korea but it only recently started to spread to new markets. Black Squad acts as a fast-paced military strategy shooter with an emphasis on free-to-play. Luckily for players, there's no feeling of being at a disadvantage if you don't opt to purchase anything in-game. Developers have made the game in which microtransactions are not required, instead, everything within the game can be bought with in-game currency that's rewarded as you play. We're interested in seeing how Black Squad grows as right now the title is only available as an Early Access game through Steam.

Black Mountain has a state champion in Mary Scott Robinson and a conference champ in Laila Burk.
Robinson, a sophomore at Carolina Day School, won the 2A state championship in shot put and discus at the May 18-19 N.C. Independent School Athletic Association championship at Campbell University. She helped the Asheville school's girls track team take first place among the 35 schools competing. It was the team's third first-place state finish in four years, helped significantly by Robinson's feats.
"To win a state championship as a sophomore is pretty impressive," said Cory Greene, Carolina Day School's assistant track coach who coaches its throwers. Robinson was runner-up state champion her freshman year (another Carolina Day student took top honors), Greene, who has been coaching Robinson since eighth grade, noted.
"She's obviously gotten better with her technique and strength," Greene said. "But the biggest thing I've seen her do is grow as a competitor. She's done a great job in those high-pressure situations. And she does her best at the season's end."
In the state championships, Robinson threw the discus 102 feet 1 inch. She threw the shot put – and 8.8-pound iron ball – 33 feet 7 inches. Her shot put throw was three feet farther than the runner up, Greene said. Her achievements are especially significant because she was battling through an injury. "She definitely has a passion to do her best," he said.
"So much about discus and shot put is your foot work and technique, and Mary Scott has spent a lot of hours" working on them, said CDS head track coach Brian Rannie.

Burk, a freshman at Owen High, took first in the 800 meters, the 1600m and in the 4x800m relay at the conference finals May 3. She was named runner-up MVP.
"The crazy part about it, she had surgery - some wisdom teeth taken out - so she was out (absent from track practice) for a couple of weeks," said head coach Kyle Silva. "She literally just came back (to the team) for the conference finals. It was just astonishing that she was able to come back from surgery like that and take first place in those three events. That's very good for a freshman."
Burk was named female runner of the year at Owen High's awards banquet May 17.
"Honestly, you couldn't ask for anything better for a freshman," Silva said. Burk, who has long legs that enable her to gobble up ground, is "the definition of a distance runner," he said. "She just has what you want to see in a female distance runner at this date in her career. She'll have a very bright future."
