Exactly How Sintered Neodymium Magnets are Made
We talked about the steps associated with producing neodymium magnets, with some notes on what this suggests for real magnet customers.
1. Main Materials
The standard compound for the majority of Neodymium magnets is Nd2Fe14B. But in the real production, the chain reaction can be much more complex. Here is the generally made use of reaction :
57 Fe + 8 B + 10 Fe2O3 + 7.5 Nd2O3 + 52.5 Ca -> Nd15Fe77B8 + 52.5 CaO
Vacuum Cleaner Induction Heating System
What we need to pay attention is higher temperature level magnet grades, extra| components are included. When small percentages of Iron (Fe) are changed with Cobalt (Co), the power of magnet will enhance at raised temperature levels, however the intrinsic coercivity will be lowers. If tiny parts of Neodymium (Nd) are changed with Dysprosium (Dy), the intrinsic coercivity is enhanced, however the maximum power item (BHmax, an excellent step of a magnet’s power ) lowers. In normal, the magnet producer use both Co and Dy together. So the power and performance will be great.
In order to protect the product. In the production, the material need happens in a vacuum cleaner induction heating system. The system is heated up by electric swirl currents via it, the vacuum cleaner can make the pollutants out of the production.
In order to make the material to typical 3mm，magnet supplier will use the jet milling transforms the rhas magnetizationial right into a powder with a really tiny dimension.
The powder need to be pressed together to create a shape that has magnetization orientation. In the production, referred to as die-upsetting, the powder is pressed with a die right into a solid body at raised temperature levels of concerning 725 ° C. The solid is after that positioned in a 2nd die, where it is pressed to a larger form that has to do with fifty percent it’s initial elevation. This straightens the favored direction of magnetization alongside the pressing orientation. For some forms, there are approaches that consist of a component that creates an electromagnetic field throughout pushing to align the particles.
Sintering is a usual procedure in powder metallurgy. The main material is pressed at raised temperature levels (as high as 1080 ° C) below the material’s melting factor, till its particles comply with each various other.
The sintered magnets are reduced to the customer wanted form making use of a grinding procedure. Much less generally, complicated forms are made with electrical discharge machining (EDM). As a result of the high material price, material losses because of machining are maintained to a minimum. No reliable ways of reusing the waste have actually been created.
The specific magnets are electro coat with 3 material: nickel & copper & nickel. This is essential due to the fact that un-coated neodymium magnets are very easy to “rust”, and also will promptly miss their magnetic power in the daily witness.
Now, the magnets have a specific orientation
of magnetization, however, they are not magnetized. They are put in a mold(we also called it fixture) that will certainly show the magnet to an extremely electromagnetic field for a short moment. It’s generally a huge coil of cable around the magnet( s). The magnetizing devices make use of banks of capacitors as well as a truly massive voltage to obtain such big current for a split second.
About the quality of the resulting magnets is the inspection. For a range of properties.
p measuring projector confirms the measurements. The thickness of the coating, in order to check it, will use x-ray fluorescence modern technology to check.
What all this suggests for customers of neodymium magnets
A magnet with the nickel plating scratched away, exposing the raw NdFeB magnet below
Neodymium magnets are created by powder metallurgical techniques. Their feature very closely looks like a ceramic, instead of a metal. They are not conveniently machined, so we do not suggest attempting to make them.
Neodymium magnets are extremely difficult and breakable. Regardless of the metal look of their nickel coating, they are not as strong as steel. If based on sharp effects, such as enabling them to knock right into each other, they can quickly break or damage. Treatment, as well as correct handling, are necessary}.
We do not suggest press-fitting neodymium magnets. Magnets are frequently glued into a pocket that is a little bigger than the magnet, instead of press-fitting.
We do not suggest making use of a threaded magnet. While it’s possible to reduce strings, they do not stand up well under torque.

Tata Motors is living up to its reputation as one of Britain's biggest manufacturing employers and is set to add hundreds of new jobs at one of its UK plants.
Just days after the news came that Japanese car major Honda was to cut 800 jobs at its Swindon factory, Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will announce just as many new jobs at its Solihull plant in the Midlands.
JLR already employs as many as 24,000 people in the UK.
According to the Sunday Times, an announcement of the latest recruitment drive is expected in time for the Detroit Motor Show which begins tomorrow.
The investment, which defies a general slowdown in the auto industry, is largely down to a surge in demand for JLR brands in China, Russia and the US.
The iconic British car giant, taken over by Tata in 2008, registered record profits of 1.5 billion pounds last year due to this overseas boost.
It marks a significant reversal of fortunes for JLR under the stewardship of Tata Motors, which had announced 1,000 new jobs at its Halewood plant on Merseyside last year and now employs nearly 24,000 staff in the UK.
Following a period of uncertainty as the credit crunch hit soon after Tata's takeover from Ford, the sales of most JLR brands rebounded considerably to result in an ambitious expansion plan two years ago.
The company wants to launch 40 new models in the next five years and has a target of making 60,000 cars a year.
A sporty new Range Rover is expected to be launched in April this year.
Tata, under former chairman Ratan Tata, had also earmarked 350 million pounds on constructing an engine plant in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.
More than 80 per cent of the vehicles made at JLR's three British factories ¿ the third at Castle Bromwich, also in the Midlands are shipped abroad.

This was written for ShareAmerica by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel of the U.S. Department of State. Follow @Stengel on Twitter.
On October 11, I had the privilege of speaking at the naturalization ceremony for 125 new citizens, held at the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a short walk from the Capitol.
The ceremony was presided over by the honorable Judge Tanya Chutkan, herself a naturalized citizen originally from Jamaica. It drew a remarkable group, its members from some 51 countries: from Kazakhstan to Kenya, from Argentina to Australia, from Iraq to Italy.
These men and women speak dozens of different languages and have different faiths and different heritages. Each of their stories is singular and extraordinary. But their collective story is what makes America singular and extraordinary. I told them that there aren’t degrees of American-ness — that on that day, they were Americans, 100 percent, full stop. And that their story is the American story.
In my remarks, I set out to explain what that means to me — and the responsibilities that come with citizenship. Here’s an excerpt:
My family didn’t come here on the Mayflower. Neither of my grandfathers was born in this country. Neither of them spoke English when they arrived by boat as young boys. Neither of them graduated from high school. But both of them started small businesses — as immigrants still are more likely than native-born Americans to do. My father, a kid from Brooklyn, fought in World War II with young men from all over America who were the children of immigrants or immigrants themselves.
That is why for me, this ceremony — more than the swearing in of members of Congress, or of the Supreme Court or of the president of the United States — is the true ceremony of what it means to be American.
Unlike other nations, we are not a people formed by a common heritage, a common blood, a common religion. We’re united by an uncommon set of ideas: that all people are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That is what binds us together. That is what makes us Americans.
As wonderful as today is, your American story is just beginning. As Justice Brandeis said, by taking that oath you now occupy the highest office in the land, that of citizen.
Democracy is the state that requires more of you than any other; it is the one with the most responsibility. In an autocracy or a dictatorship, you don’t have to make choices, all the choices are made for you. Here, you determine your own destiny.
And that is where responsibility comes in. When Benjamin Franklin walked out of that hall in Philadelphia 229 years ago after the Constitution was signed, a woman asked him what had been created. A republic, madam, he said, if you can keep it.
If you can keep it. The way you keep it is to participate, to take responsibility, to be guided by those sacred ideas. To volunteer, to stay informed. What Franklin and the other founders worried about is that people would be deceived by demagogues and fooled by liars, that they would be susceptible to rulers who abused their power, that they would lose touch with those core American ideas.
Here, as the Founders said, the people rule. That is the textbook definition of democracy. The first three words of the Constitution are “We the People.” Not we the government. Or we the elite. Or we the billionaires. It is We the People. It is by the power of we the people that the government has rights. The government does not give us rights, we the people give the government rights. That is part of what makes us exceptional.
Sometimes politicians and leaders divide America into us and them — and forget that all of us were once them.
We have a history of pulling up the ladder behind us. Irish need not apply. Jews unwelcome. Japanese internment camps. The Chinese Exclusion Act. The vilification of Mexicans. And, of course, there is America’s original sin of slavery — Africans who were involuntary immigrants. Our history has not always been pretty, but one thing you can always count on is that we hang a lantern on our problems — we have many flaws, but we shine a light on them and try to perfect this union, together.
When I was growing up, the symbol of immigration was the melting pot. People wanted to assimilate. Lose their accents. Cook American food. Wear blue jeans and T-shirts. After all, our national motto is ‘E pluribus unum’ — Out of many, one.
But today, I think, the model is more of a patchwork quilt, where you don’t have to let go of your traditions or heritage, but incorporate them into your citizenship. Everyone is a mixture of old and new.
Immigrants and refugees enrich and enlarge America. They renew and refresh the American experience. That is our DNA as a country. We can never forget that.
That is why the newest Americans are the truest Americans.

America’s Independence Day is the 4th of July. On November 11th, Americans honor soldiers on Veterans Day. Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. There are other patriotic holidays but these are the most popular. It’s become a tradition for many local and cable television stations to air military movies that depict brave U.S. soldiers risking their lives to protect the freedom of the citizens of this country, remind us of their sacrifice, and stoke the flames of patriotic fervor.
Casablanca Was Not on My List for War Movies
In the USA, usually for certain patriotic holidays, the TV stations air military movies. If you made a list what movies would you choose? Here are my personal picks.
War Movie Classics
A while back FoxNews.com published a list of The 30 Greatest War Movies of All Time. Hardly any of the movies that came to my mind were on the list. One movie, in particular, for sure did not come to mind: “Casablanca” (1942). Nobody loves Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman more than me; but to tell the truth, Casablanca was not on my list for war movies. I had always fancied it as a love story, i.e. a romance movie. Though war movies are not my favorite movie genre, there are some films that did fall into my “Most Remembered” category.
Valkyrie AND Von Ryan's Express
1st Movie: Valkyrie (2008)
I had a hard time finding the movie quote that actually stuck with me on the Internet. So contrary to the belief of the masses, you can not find everything on the Internet on the first 5 pages of the search results. (The only time I get beyond the first five pages of search results is when I skip to page 6, 10 or beyond. I skip because sometimes … I feel guilty about not giving the other websites on the last unseen pages, a sporting chance. I mean they may never make it to the top search results and their site might be a really good site. You know?)
Anyway I’ll just repeat what I think I heard Tom Cruise’s character say:
[Speaking of Hitler]
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg: “I saw the blast; he is dead!”
I honestly had not expected Tom Cruise to play a good German. But then I realized: ‘Of course! He’s playing … A GOOD German.’ I don’t think he could have pulled off a MEAN NASTY GERMAN. But hey! He could have surprised me. Poor soldier; he wanted so much to believe the assassination mission had been a success.
2nd Movie: Von Ryan's Express (1965)
This is a World War II classic that both my husband and I agree on.
Maj. Eric Fincham: “I once told you Ryan, if only one gets out, it's a victory.”
Sadly, Von Ryan, played by old blue eyes, Frank Sinatra, didn’t make it out. Some say this is one of the best World War II movies. I agree. But I would agree anyway because I am diehard fan of Frank Sinatra.
Where Eagles Dare AND The Blue Max
3rd Movie: Where Eagles Dare (1968)
Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood: I just can’t see how you could have gone wrong with a pair like these two. I loved this movie!
Colonel Wyatt Turner: “Some people have a sixth sense. He has a sixth, a seventh and an eighth."
I researched and found this quote. But I’m not sure who the colonel is talking about. I would have to re-watch the movie and focus, listening for this specific line. But I’ll bet it’s about the character Clint Eastwood played. I watched an interview of Richard Burton and he was discussing working with Clint Eastwood. Even in the interview it sounded like he was describing the real Clint Eastwood and Mr. Eastwood's character.
4th Movie: The Blue Max (1966)
This World War I movie stars, George Peppard, Ursula Andress and James Mason. It seems as though this is a forgotten movie. I hardly ever see it and we have cable TV! This movie is a classic. Not that I really remember it. It was released when I was about 11 years old and I don’t think I was supposed to be in the theatre watching it. But I saw it in a theatre. George Peppard was such a hottie!
“The Blue Max is a must-see for any George Peppard fan.” I extracted this quote from the IMDb (Internet Movie Database) “User Reviews”. Yeah. That sums it up for me.

The Bridge on the River Kwai
5th Movie: The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
Another movie lost in time.
They don’t seem to show very many movies starring William Holden.
It’s about a British colonel who, after settling his differences with a Japanese P.O.W. camp commander, co-operates to oversee the construction of a railway bridge for their captors, not knowing the whole time that the Allies plan to destroy it.
So these are my selected quotes:
Colonel Nicholson: “One day the war will be over. And I hope that the people that use this bridge in years to come will remember how it was built and who built it. Not a gang of slaves, but soldiers, British soldiers, Clipton, even in captivity.”
Lieutenant Joyce: “I'm sorry, Sir. I thought you were the enemy.”
Commander Shears: “Well, I'm an American, if that's what you mean.”
Lieutenant Joyce: “Officer, sir. A British officer. We're here to blow up the bridge, sir!”
Colonel Nicholson: “Blow up the bridge?”
Lieutenant Joyce: “Yes, sir. Yes, sir. British commando orders, sir.”
Colonel Nicholson: “Blow up the bridge!?”
The Guns of Navarone
6th Movie: The Guns of Navarone (1961)
A most impressive cast for a most impressive movie. Gregory Peck (Captain Mallory), David Niven (Corporal Miller), Anthony Quinn (Colonel Andrea Stavrou) and Anthony Quayle - i.e. Sir John Anthony Quayle - (Franklin), Stanley Baker ("Butcher" Brown), Gia Scala (the coward and traitor - forget her name), Irene Papas (Maria), and James Darren (Spyros Pappadimos).
My favorite quote from this movie was spoken by the cultured and well-mannered Englishman, David Niven.
Corporal Miller: “Now just a minute! If we're going to get this job done she has got to be killed! And we all know how keen you are about getting the job done! Now I can't speak for the others but I've never killed a woman, traitor or not, and I'm finicky! So why don't you do it? Let us off for once! Go on, be a pal, be a father to your men! Climb down off that cross of yours, close your eyes, think of England, and pull the trigger! What do you say, Sir?"
This is the scene where the group discovers that one amongst them is a traitor and it turns out to be a woman they all thought couldn’t speak. Supposedly she became mute after she had been tortured. Anyway it turns out she was working along with the enemy the whole time and had kept the enemy informed as to their whereabouts. When they all figured out that it was her, it was clear she had to be killed. But Corporal Miller didn’t want to shoot a woman. So he demanded that the man in charge (Captain Mallory played by Gregory Peck) SHOOT HER!
- “ … be a pal, … What do you say, Sir?"
Well … the captain wasn’t too keen about shooting a lady either. I watched the scene thinking: ‘Can you believe it? The woman nearly got them all killed and they’re too much of a gentleman to shoot a lady?? That wouldn’t happen in my neighborhood.’ Finally the other woman in the group pulled the trigger.
The other quote was actually a new word that I learned watching “The Guns of Navarone” and it’s the word for a truth drug: "scopolamine” .
Astonishing and fascinating! Is there really such a thing as a drug that can make you tell the truth?
One of the soldiers in the group had to be left behind because he was too badly wounded to continue on. The captain knew the Germans would give him scopolamine or a truth serum instead of torturing him in order to get the truth out of him. As the captain predicted they did give the soldier the drug and the soldier told the enemy everything the captain had told him (i.e. the wounded soldier) … WHICH WAS NOT THE TRUTH. The soldier didn’t know it wasn’t the truth so the soldier didn’t realize that he hadn’t really revealed any valuable information to the enemy at all.
One last memorable quote uttered by Col. Andrea Stavros (played by Anthony Quinn). I didn't find it on the Internet but it's a line I could never forget.
Colonel Andrea Stavros: “I’m not so easy to kill.”
[He says, then laughs]
If you have never seen “The Guns of Navarone” you have got to watch this movie. You will not sleep through it. Guaranteed!!
- MOVIE TRIVIA: Did you know that there was to be a Guns of Navarone Trilogy? The idea was scrapped because “Force 10 From Navarone”, the sequel, was not exactly a blockbuster smash hit!! Another great cast but the movie was very disappointing by comparison.
I’m not going to tell you anything else. You’ll have to see the movie.
7th Movie: Two Women (1960)
Sophia Loren received the Academy Award for Best Actress. As a matter of record, this was the first Oscar ever given for a performance in a "foreign-language" film. My memory of her performance in this film is that of a heroic performance worthy of this kind of recognition.
This movie was about a mother (“Cesira”) and daughter (“Rosetta”) who suffered yet survived the horrors of war. Though she did everything within her power to protect her young daughter, both she and her young daughter were violated – in a church, a place where they thought they could get some shelter and safety. They had fallen asleep only to wake up and live through the nightmare of being raped by soldiers who found them sleeping there. Sophia, like any mother, was not so much concerned for herself bur for her young virgin daughter. When her young daughter screamed, there was no more the mother could do to save her. When the soldiers were done, they went on their way. Rosetta (Eleanora Brown) was in shock and the mother, Cesira (Sophia Loren) held her in her arms.
That scene I’ll never forget because it was so painful; and this is the quote that describes the horrific crime against the two women:
Cesira: “Do you know what they have done those "heroes" that you command? Do you know what your great soldiers have done in a holy church under the eyes of the Madonna? Do you know?”
American Soldier: “Peace, peace.”
Cesira: “Yes, peace, beautiful peace! You ruined my little daughter forever! Now she's worse than dead. No, I'm not mad, I'm not mad! Look at her! And tell me if I am mad! Rotten crazy bastards!”

Prompted by a letter from "illegitimate Indian Olympic Association" official Lalit
Bhanot, Clean Sports India, headed by Olympian Ashwini Nachappa, today launched a non-cooperation movement against the "illegal" body.
"We, Arjuna Awardees, got a shock ten days ago when we got a letter from Lalit Bhanot asking us to send our bio-data and photographs to adorn the IOA office in Delhi. This is an illegal body as stated by the International Olympic Committee. We don't want to comply with the request and want all other former awardees also to do so," said former athlete and CSI's joint convener, Reeth Abraham, at a media conference today.
"We think this non-coperation movement launched today and our signed letter, which we are sending to
Bhanot, will make a difference. Former shot putter S D Eshan, who also got a similar letter from
Bhanot, expressed his shock that this man who had never even acknowledged our existence when we were active athletes has asked us to send our
bio-datas and photographs," said the former long jumper and heptathlete.
Twenty one former sportspersons, including Olympians Vandana Rao, Joaquim
Carvalho, M M Somaiya, Mervyn Fernandis, Jude Felix, Ashwini, M P Ganesh, Devesh
Chauhan, Vandana Shanbaug and M P Singh, have signed the letter expressing their opposition to the
CSI convener B V P Rao, who lost the election to the presidentship of the "illegal" body to Abhay Singh
Chautala, said his two-year-old organisation would be asking IOC to take action on these guys "individually".
"These four to five people -- Bhanot, Chautala, Suresh Kalmadi (former IOA president), Narinder Batra (Hockey India secretary general) and N Ramachandran (World Squash Federation head) -- want to somehow gain legitimacy for this illegitimate body. The IOC has strongly opposed this. This movement is against these illegitimate IOA officials," he said.
"We are targeting former sportspersons and appealing to them not to co-operate to this letter (by sending their photographs and bio-data). That would be enough. But we don't want the current lot to join the protest as the federations would hamper their career," said
"We would like to inform you that we will not co-operate with you by sending our bio-data and photographs," the Arjuna Awardees and former sports-persons have written to
They have termed his January 1 letter posing as the secretary general of the IOA and seeking the bio-data of Rajiv Khel
Ratna, Arjuna, Dhyanchand and Dronacharya Awardees as a "desperate attempt" to legitimise his claim as office bearer of
"We strongly believe that the International Olympic Committee has taken the right decision in Indian sports management (to take up serious reform). Hence we have decided not to co-operate with you and your collaborators who claim themselves office bearers of IOA through an illegal election," the letter said.
"In the interest of Indian Sports please leave IOA office as directed by IOC," it concluded.
After suspending the IOA on December 4, 2012 after having given a warning the previous month, the IOC had dashed off a missive stating that the elections held by the Indian Olympic body on December 5 that went against its order were "null and void".
The IOC also warned the "elected" officials that they should not occupy the IOA office or operate its bank accounts, recalled
Rao, as well as chess GM Pravin Thipsay, who was present at the conference as a supporter of CSI and Arjuna
Awardee, said the suspension of IOA is a serious issue that has not been highlighted enough.
"The common man does not know the repercussions of this action by IOC and the gravity of the situation unless it is resolved. Indian sportspersons will not be able to take part in the Asian Games, Olympic Games etc in team games. They can take part as individuals (under the Olympic flag). So there would be a reduced number of Indian participants," said
"I am angry by this move (of asking for bio-data) because this is an attempt to legitimise an illegal body. I appeal to all sportspersons not to recognise this illegal body."

Tesla’s approach to developing autonomous vehicles relies on collecting data from all the vehicles it has on the road. In this sense, it has an advantage over every other automaker. But it’s not enough. At the pace it’s collecting data it will take centuries to collect enough. Ziv Binyamini, the CEO of Foretellix, explains why automakers, truck maker and suppliers need to generate edge-cases with powerful software that can compress several centuries of testing down to a couple of years.

This recipe for “Miracle Lawn Tonic” which costs just pennies to mix, will green up your lawn like nothing else on earth.
This tip came from my brother Bob, former groundskeeper at Hialeah Race Track and the Hilton Harvest House in Boulder, CO. This recipe works wonders for Colorado lawns! I found this to be much more cost effective than anything you can buy and my sisters and I all use this mixture on our Colorado lawns to kick in the green once the lawn comes out of winter hibernation.
- One full 12 can of either Coke or Pepsi (or whatever off brand of Cola you can find) NO DIET!
- One full 12 oz can of Beer, my Colorado lawn prefers Coors but… - (any brand will do) NO LIGHT BEER!
- 1/2 Cup of Dawn Dishwashing Detergent (or whatever blue off brand you can find) NO ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAP!
- 1/2 Cup of household ammonia
- 1/2 Cup of mouthwash (any brand)
- Pour into a 2 gallon garden sprayer , then add water until the sprayer container is full
- Spray liberally on all your grassy areas
- Lightly water your lawn after application so that the mixture will penetrate roots
- Apply in the early morning, before the sun beats down on your lawn
- In high heat, apply every three weeks for an emerald green lawn!
Pet waste poses immediate health hazard.
DENVER, COLORADO – FEBRUARY 13TH, 2013 – Muttley’s Maid, Inc., a Colorado pet waste removal (pooper-scooper) company, is offering discounted services to dog owners in preparation for the spring thaw. Leslie Farrell, President of Muttley’s Maid states “I can’t stress enough how important it is for your family’s health, to clean up after your pet.”
In 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized pet waste as a major contributor of Nonpoint Source Pollution (NPS) and as such, the runoff from pet waste will continue to produce harmful effects on our drinking water supply, recreation, fisheries and wildlife unless we all work together in our communities to reduce and prevent this pollution from occurring. In 2012, The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) estimates that there were over 43.3 million pet dogs in the US. Ms. Farrell adds “Given that an average sized dog will produce approximately a half pound of poop in a single day, the runoff of over 4 million tons of pet waste per year leeching into our water supply is a preventable potential disaster to our communities.” “Due to the pathogens it may contain, pet waste should not be considered a beneficial lawn fertilizer.”
According to the USDA, it should not be used on crops grown for human consumption. Pet waste can pose a serious health hazard. A number of common parasites, including roundworm, are transmitted via dog feces. When infected dog droppings are left on the ground, the eggs of the roundworms and other parasites can linger in the soil for years. Humans that are in contact with contaminated soil can become infected. Children run the greatest risk of infection if they play in the dirt and then put their hands in their mouths or rub their eyes with their hands. Even a group of teens or adults playing Frisbee or touch football in an infected open area could be in danger. Parasitic infections can make humans extremely sick, and for pregnant women – can pose a serious harm to their unborn child.
Muttley’s Maid, Inc., a professional pet waste cleaning company, cleans pet waste from residential and commercial properties throughout the Denver Metropolitan Front Range as well as Boulder and outlying suburbs.

Deputy PM for European Affairs Bojan Marichikj says all demands or conditions set by VMRO-DPMNE leader Hristijan Mickoski within the scope of the Negotiating Framework are worth contemplating.
“Mickoski put forward several conditions and I find it good that dialogue has begun while crossing that taboo line over the voting and the support for inclusion of Bulgarians in the Constitution Preamble. And not only the Bulgarians but also Slovenians, Croats, Montenegrins and others. It is good it is no longer taboo to vote for the constitutional revision. On the other hand, all demands or conditions of Mr.Mickoski are worth contemplating, those based on reality and within the scope of the Negotiating Framework,” Deputy PM Marichikj told the Macedonian Radio.
According to him, delayed enforcement of the constitutional amendments goes beyond the Negotiating Framework and brings the country back to the negotiating table with EU and Bulgaria.
“This certainly means going many steps back and I don’t think we need this. However, all other aspects regarding the formula of a broad government – who and when, and under what conditions – all of this is worth discussing if it favors VMRO-DPMNE’s position to vote for the constitutional amendments,” says Marichikj.
He says Macedonia is one of the more delicate countries in the region because of its unique path to the EU.
“A truly difficult road burdened by bilateral issues with Greece and Bulgaria, and a long wait for the start of the accession negotiations. I think that everyone believes Macedonia deserves to continue the negotiations it started last year, and complete them in the shortest time possible, resulting in the country’s inclusion in the next enlargement round,” adds Marichikj.
The Deputy PM says Macedonia has seen serious support to its Euro-integration process, most recently through the German Bundestag resolution, demonstrating that Berlin is behind the country and its citizens while noting that the Macedonian identity and language are under no threat during the negotiations process.

Had some “grunt work” to do over the past few days, so been watching movies while I work. Here’s my opinions:
Been watching a few movies lately. Thought I’d write out some brief reviews:
What Women Want: – Man, this is one of those movies that I always enjoy, and put at the top of my movies lists. Yet watching it for about the 6th time in my life I really started to not enjoy it. I mean the first 2/3 of the movie are good bordering on great – but the final third of it is just goddamn awful. ***
The Terminal: First half of this is amazing. Easy ****1/2 if not *****. Great premise, great story, Hanks is fabulous. Then it all goes to hell, as they completely americanize it with typical Hollywood BS. The love story and all the other shit – god, how can one half of a movie be so good, and the other half SO FUCKING BAD? I can’t even rate it it was that horrible.
Shaun of the Dead: Dunno what the big deal is about this movie. I mean it was good, but some people treat it as the second coming of christ. Hot Fuzz was better. ***
Just Cause: Definitely not a movie for repeat viewings. I read the book about 10 years ago and watched the movie right after and I think I enjoyed both – might have watched the movie since then – but just watched it again and found it fairly boring. Basically something that has been done much better in other movies. Still, the performance of Ed Harris as the psychotic killer on death row is fantastic. **
The Wedding Singer: Must be about the 9th time I have seen this movie now. Still a classic, also it gets bonus points for having Journeys “Don’t Stop Believin'” playing when Sandler attempts to get married but dumped at the alter. One of Sandlers best. *****
The Client: This movie has PRECIOUS MEMORIES for me as it was the first time I read a book then the movie. Basically I didn’t read that type of novel back then so it was my first ever Grisham book too. Overall it’s an alright movie, nothing spectacular but a solid performance from Tommy Lee. ***
Gran Torino: Fuck, YES! I had the ending spoiled for me so I couldn’t watch it for awhile until I forgot about it – 13 months and 2 days after getting it spoiled I couldn’t remember the specifics so watched it again. A seriously fucking awesome movie – the performances of everyone bar Eastwood are pretty blah – but Eastwood is just AMAZING in this. The way he growls etc – god, so great.
SPOILERS AHEAD: I’m still disappointed in the ending though. I get it – the only way to stop the gangs was that – but man, I just wanted Eastwood to go all RAMBO on their fucking asses. Completely get what he was going for, but still not what I wanted, especially considering how bad the American justice system is. I’ll go with ****1/2.

More Information about c-JUN Protein
C-Jun protein is coded by the JUN gene in humans. This protein, together with c-Fos protein forms the AP-1 transcription factor. Because of its interaction with c-Fos protein, c-Jun protein was initially identified as a Fos-binding protein p39. C-Jun protein is involved in the progression through G1 phase. The role of c-Jun protein is to regulate the activity of cyclin D1 activity which is a Rb kinase. Rb protein is a growth suppressor and is inactivated upon phosphorylation. When c-jun protein is absent, the expression of both p53 and p21 increases which results in cell cycle defects. For this reason, c-jun knockout is lethal. However, transgenic animals that contain c-jun protein that cannot undergo phosphorylation, can survive. In this case cells remain blocked in G1 phase. Upregulation of c-jun protein results in increased cell growth and proliferation which makes c-jun a proto-oncogenic protein.
C-Jun, along with c-Fos protein are highly regulated by different extracellular stimuli such as growth factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, UV irradiation and oxidative cellular stress. Indeed, increased UV irradiation has been linked to elevated c-jun expression. ERK pathway has also been involved in c-jun expression regulation. Active ERK increases c-jun transcription as well as its stability. The mobilization of c-jun protein leads to the activation of it downstream target RCAK1 which enhances JNK activity. JNK is a kinase that binds to c-jun and double phosphorylates the protein on Ser-63 and Ser-73 of its transcriptional activation domain. Research suggests that the phosphorylation of c-jun protein on threonine 91 and 93 triggers c-jun pro-apoptotic activity . According to Ce et al., (2013) the phosphorylation of c-Jun at threonine 91 and threonine 93 is dependent of threonine 95 which suggested the combination of the three threonines as a sensitive amplifier of the JNK cascade. On the other hand, the JNK triggered survival pathway is inhibited by a survival pathway initiate by lithium which represses pro-apoptotic c-Jun/Ap-1 target genes.

MTGA Announces Donation of $9,000 Toward Turkey Product Purchases to Hunger Solutions Minnesota
St. Paul, MN (November 21, 2016) – Governor Mark Dayton continued the time-honored tradition – dating back to the 1940s – of kicking off Thanksgiving week with the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association (MTGA) and Minnesota Turkey Research & Promotion Council (MTRPC) at the State Capitol today. Also in special attendance was a tom (male) turkey, raised near Melrose, Minn.
“As we look back on 2016 and compare it to 2015, our farmers are thankful for the success we have had this year after rebounding from the impact of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza,” said MTRPC President Robert Orsten, a turkey breeder farmer from Willmar, Minn. ”Fortunately, 2016 has been influenza free for our flocks, yet we remain diligent in our preparation to protect bird health if the virus should return.”
At the event, Orsten announced the donation of approximately $9,000 to Hunger Solutions Minnesota (HSM), which will go toward the purchase of turkey products to be distributed to food shelves and food banks across the state.
“We know there are many families who struggle to put food on the table,” said Orsten. “Minnesota’s turkey farmers are committed to helping do their part to combat hunger with our annual donation to Hunger Solutions Minnesota.”
Orsten grew up on a turkey farm, and today he and his family have farms in Kandiyohi and Swift counties where they raise 70,000 breeder turkeys and also grow corn, beans, and hay.
Since 2001, MTGA has donated approximately 235 million pounds of turkey to various areas of the state, which will feed 315,000 people in Minnesota. In other words, enough turkey feed Kandiyohi County – where the Orstens raise most of the birds – 7.5 times over!
These funds have been raised from contributions by Minnesota’s turkey farmers and MTGA allied members as well as a portion of the sales from MTGA’s Turkey To Go restaurant at the Minnesota State.
HSM, a comprehensive hunger relief organization that works to end hunger in Minnesota, will coordinate the purchase and distribution of the turkey. One in five Minnesota families struggles to put healthy meals on their tables. The need for emergency food relief continues to be a problem in Minnesota even as our economy has improved.
“As we prepare for Thanksgiving, it’s important to keep in mind our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity throughout the year,” said Colleen Moriarty, Executive Director of Hunger Solutions Minnesota. “Hunger Solutions Minnesota connects people in need with resources through the Minnesota Food HelpLine, and supports local food shelves throughout the state. The generosity of groups like the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association has an impact on the families we serve throughout the year.”
Approximately 450 turkey family farmers from Minnesota raise about 46 million birds annually. Minnesota remains steadfast at the #1 position in the U.S. for turkey production.
Current U.S. turkey production stands at 228 million this year – which means Minnesota farmers raise nearly 20% of all U.S. turkeys. Approximately 95% of all Americans will eat turkey at Thanksgiving, according to the National Turkey Federation.
MTGA was founded in 1939. Minnesota has the most independent turkey farmers of any state in the U.S. and is also home to three successful turkey processing companies – Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar, Northern Pride Cooperative in Thief River Falls, and Turkey Valley Farms in Marshall. These companies collectively have created over 2,000 turkey products for the consumer and foodservice markets that are shipped across the country and the world.
Each turkey raised in Minnesota brings $17.46 in economic value to the state – which means Minnesota’s turkeys and the farmers who raise them generate over $800 million in economic activity for the state.
The MTGA, founded in 1939 and located in Buffalo, MN, is a nonprofit association dedicated to fostering a successful Minnesota turkey industry and its ability to make positive contributions to consumers, the economy, the environment and its members. Minnesota is currently ranked #1 for turkey production in the U.S. with its 250 turkey farmers raising an estimated 46 million turkeys in 2013. Minnesota has the most independent turkey farmers of any state in the U.S. For further information, visit www.minnesotaturkey.com or find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/MinnesotaTurkey and Twitter (@MinnesotaTurkey).

Hello, I Love You was a great memoir about an adoption story, I am currently reading Mary Karr's The Liar's Club (Penguin Books,1995), and I can't wait to start reading this one...
Jena Morrow has an eating disorder. It can kill her. Jena Morrow has a Savior. He came to give her abundant life.
This is not a polished tale of victory but an honest, true story of fragility. Hollow recounts Jena’s daily struggle with anorexia and the God who is able and willing to reach down into the dirt. A central theme of Hollow is the surrender of control to Jesus Christ. His Word is interwoven throughout the story as rebuttals to the lies that besiege those engaged in any addiction.
In addition to her point of view, Jena includes those of her friends, family, and former therapists providing an undercurrent of hope.
Written in an easy conversational voice, Hollow will resonate with those in the midst of a struggle and those who stand beside them.

What does higher ohm mean vape?
OHM is a measure of resistance.
The higher the ohm rating, the more resistance it has.
The more resistance an atomizer has, the LESS power it will pass through from the battery to the tip of your tank.
If your power is too high and your resistance is too low …
you will blow out your atomizer and be very very sad..
What is the difference in ohms for Vaping?
Standard vaping with coils above 1.0 ohms is also called MTL vaping. … While the usual range for standard vaping is between 1.5 ohms and 3 ohms, using a vaporizer containing an atomizer coil with a resistance of less than 1 ohm is technically referred to as sub-ohm vaping.
What ohm should I set my vape to?
The standard or regular level of ohm when it comes to vaping and your clearomizer is between 2.4 and 2.8. This is by far the most common ohm range chosen by those looking for replacement coils, with the most commonly chosen being 2.5. This standard level tends to offer the most consistent level for your e smoke.
What is the best Ohm for flavor?
It is all a matter of building coils and wicking cotton with cognition of cause, it is advised to use coils that’s are around 0.30 to 0.50 ohms for flavor chasing, it is also important to match the build with the e-liquid you are going to vape. Usually Dual Coils RDA are better for Creamy and Fruity liquids.
Are lower ohms better for speakers?
All speakers have an impedance rating in ohms, which represents how difficult the speaker is to power. The lower the impedance, the more efficiently it allows the electric signal, which is basically the music, to pass through the speaker.
What’s the difference between 1.6 and 1.8 ohm coils?
1.6 is my coice as it gives you good flavour and more clouds if you use a bariable mod woth it. 1.8 infind lacks in the amount of clouds but the coils will last longer on a standard 2200 battery.
Does higher ohms mean better flavor?
Good question, the lower ohms generally (but not always) produces a more intense vape, and this does not mean “more flavor”, but this also has a lot to do with the liquid and the manufacturer, not just the ohms. … But one thing is for sure, different ohms can and will change the “flavor” of the vape liquid.
Why is sub ohm vaping dangerous?
In a vaping device, a short circuit would cause the battery to release its full power almost instantly. Releasing so much power so quickly would cause the battery to overheat and enter thermal runaway.
What Ohm is best for NIC salts?
1.4 ohmsBasically, as a rule of thumb, the higher the salt nic strength, the higher your resistance level should be. Most pod mod vapers find that somewhere between 1.0 and 1.4 ohms is the sweet spot when it comes to 50mg salt nic e-liquids.
How do I fix Ohms too high on my vape?
“Ohms Too High” or “Ohms Too Low” Typically, pairing the proper SMOK-branded coils with your SMOK device is the easiest way to fix this problem. If you’re working with a rebuildable atomizer (RBA), the resistance of your coils may be too high or low. Adjusting the resistance will usually clear the error.
Does higher ohms mean better sound?
The high-impedance versions sound more transparent and clearer, bass definition is better, and the soundstage is more spacious. … The lower moving mass of the 250- and 600-ohm headphones’ voice coils is lighter than the 32-ohm models, and the lower mass is part of the reason high-impedance headphones sound better.

Do the CNC machines in Barnoldswick, UK ever get to rest? Apparently not – Hope has unleashed a slew of fresh shiny bits for 2016 at Eurobike this week, including the all-new Pro 4 hubset, new direct-mount chainrings, dedicated DH-specific components and, after years of teasing, that lustworthy wide-range cassette. Let the alloy and steel chips fly, indeed.
Meet the new Pro 4
One of the best things about the current Hope Pro 3 hubset is its incredible versatility, being adaptable for nearly any axle and cassette configuration. Hope has expanded on that trait with the new Pro 4, including a slightly longer freehub body dimension that’s now compatible with 11-speed cassettes from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo. To offset the closer spoke flange spacing, Hope has increased the flange diameter for what the company claims is actually a net improvement in wheel stiffness compared with the Pro 3.
Hope says the new Pro 4 hubs are stronger yet even more versatile than before
That increase also creates more room inside for a bigger ratchet ring – which now sports 44 teeth for a reasonably quick eight-degree engagement speed – and a bigger inboard freehub body bearing for improved durability. Despite the bigger dimensions, Hope sales and marketing manager Alan Weatherill says there’s no increase in weight for comparable sizes.
Speaking of sizes, there will be plenty on tap (along with six colors, including a new orange hue). Front hubs can be adapted to work with 9mm quick-release or 12, 15, or 20mm thru-axles while the rears will convert between 10mm quick-release or 10x135mm, 12x135mm, or 12x142mm thru-axle fitments. Wide-format ‘Boost’ variants will be available, too, with dedicated hub shells built with broader spoke flange spacing.
The bigger spoke flange leaves more room for a larger-diameter ratchet ring as well as a larger inboard driver bearing for improved durability
Speaking of Boost, Hope will complete the ensemble with matching direct-mount chainrings that feature 3mm offsets for a proper chainline.
The wide-range cassette is really real this time
After what has felt like years of teasing, Hope is finally officially launching its new wide-range cassettes. Three sizes will be offered: 10-40t in 10-speed and 11-speed spacings; and 10-44t in 11-speed only. Both feature a novel stacked layout with the first seven sprockets machined out of a single chunk of steel (not unlike SRAM’s XX1 and Red 22 X-Dome cassettes) and the rest machined out of aluminum.
Claimed weights range from 250g to 284g depending on size, and Hope says that the ratio jumps have been capped at 20 percent across the spread to minimize big changes in pedaling cadence.
If there’s one downside, however, it’s that anyone wanting to use Hope’s new cassette will also have to have a matching Hope rear hub – along with a proprietary freehub body. Instead of using SRAM’s existing XD driver, Hope’s new cassette uses a Shimano-style freehub body that’s slightly shorter to make room for the 10-tooth sprocket and requisite lockring.
The new cassette is basically two cassettes sandwiched on top of one another
New downhill-specific components
On the plus side, that same seven-cog steel cluster will serve as a dedicated downhill cassette. Hope will offer a matching DH-specific rear hub, too, with a shorter freehub body and wider spoke flange spacing that should yield noticeably stronger and stiffer wheels in comparison to ones built on standard hubs.
Completing Hope’s DH component suite is a new alloy rim, with a generous 28mm in between the bead hooks, a tubeless-ready profile, and a triple-cavity extrusion that the company claims is strong enough for “everyday” downhill runs without falling apart, despite a still-reasonable claimed weight of 600g in a 27.5in diameter.
Hope says the new Tech SD rims are tough enough for everyday DH use
Expanding into carbon
Hope may be best known for its machined components but as it turns out, that skillset also comes in handy for carbon kit. Impressively, Hope is expanding into composites but retaining its proud ‘Made in UK’ tagline, not only laying up carbon plies and baking components in-house but cutting all of its own molds, too.
The new carbon seatpost will come first...
Hope’s first carbon product is an ultralight seatpost with a claimed weight as low as 195g despite having variable wall thicknesses to help improve durability. The one-piece shaft and head is topped with the same single-bolt machined alloy clamp assembly used on the company’s old Eternity post, complete with a finely splined interface for what should hopefully (no pun intended) be a slip-free setup.
And a new carbon riser bar will come later
Save for the new Tech SD rims and wheels (which will be available in October), all of the new components are expected to arrive in shops in January. Prices are to be confirmed.

A Visit To Charlie Herring Wines
Have you ever read ‘the Secret Garden’? A magical story of how a young girl, Mary, discovers a beautiful, hidden walled garden and through tending it back to life gains meaning and transformation in her life. Well, our visit to see Tim Phillips of Charlie Herring fame - a superb, small batch wine producer based near Lymington, Hampshire - reminded me of this story. In our story it’s difficult to judge who was Mary and who was the reclusive old widower, let alone the friend she makes of the crippled cousin hidden in the big house…...but there was a beautiful walled garden, tended to and brought back to life by Tim and transformed into a magical space where amazing English wines are produced. I feel Tim would laugh at the romantic notion comparing his story with a Victorian novel (is Tim Mary?) as he is grounded in reality, hard work and a pragmatic sense of adventure. Nothing is random and everything is done with a sense of direction, even if some of the results are wildly different to what he originally set out to achieve. To the visiting observer, however, it is a truly wonderful experience and one that we felt privileged to be a part of.
Tim was generous with his time and knowledge and showed us, in great detail through his walled vineyard and winery. He has extensively researched how the victorians would have used these spaces and is USING similar methods to achieve similar results. Walled gardens are practical spaces that utilise the constructed microclimate to achieve improved growing patterns and even the compass alignment of the space is set to achieve the best sunlight hours for the plants. All this allows him to grow grape varieties that are less prominent in England. He has Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and is in the process of growing some Pinot Noir as well.
Taking us beyond the walled garden into a wilder and more open space, we were shown to his ‘orchard’, a space that once housed a tennis court that served the large house, within which grounds he has leased his small vineyard. This was an intriguing and entirely different experience. The apple trees were discovered as part of the clearing of the space and his journey into cider making had begun. This part felt much less regimented in design, with its long grass meadows, windswept pines, lining an old avenue and these old apple trees, some left growing where they had half toppled over - he only uses the apples that he has picked from the trees, none that have fallen and there was a lovingly unkempt, almost Wuthering Heights feel to the vistas and surroundings (what is it with all the period novels!).
We then returned to the winery, a short 10 minute walk along a road, through a couple of fields and around bluebell carpeted coppice, to taste some wines and ciders. We tried a plethora of varieties, some from demi-john’s, some from steel, some from semi-porous ‘eggs’ and some from the bottle. We tried wine, we tried cider, we even tried cider/wine. We left overwhelmingly happy and excited to try the next vintage.

Esri founders Jack and Laura Dangermond started their company 50 years ago to help address some of the world’s most difficult challenges: land-use issues, resource management concerns, population shifts, changes in the environment, and much more. Since its founding, Esri has always stood shoulder to shoulder with its users. That’s no different when disaster strikes.
The Disaster Response Program (DRP) at Esri exists to help users respond to and enhance their GIS operations when hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, oil spills, and other crises overwhelm their organizations and demand escalated action. Assistance from the DRP comes in many forms and can involve getting users access to ArcGIS software and available data, assisting with workflows, and providing technical support.
“It’s one of our contributions back to the community,” said Ryan Lanclos, Esri’s director of public safety industry solutions and lead for the DRP. “Our core team is here to help our users when they need it most, but we also want them to know how to better prepare.”
A Deep History of Disaster Response
The first activation of the then-unofficial DRP was 25 years ago, when authorities dealing with the aftermath of the 6.7-magnitude Northridge Earthquake reached out to Esri for help. The destruction throughout Southern California was extensive: buildings cracked and crumpled, freeway overpasses collapsed, and at least 57 people died while an estimated 9,000 suffered injuries.
“After the earthquake, we had strong users reaching out to us for assistance,” said Lanclos. “We saw that we not only needed to get them help, but we also needed to understand what the impact was. Taking our expertise from the GIS and public safety worlds, we helped them do damage assessments and augmented their capabilities when they were in a really tough spot.”
Another big activation for the DRP was in New York City after September 11, 2001. When the twin towers located at 1 and 2 World Trade Center collapsed, the city’s state-of-the-art emergency operations center (EOC), located at 7 World Trade Center, was damaged beyond repair. Within a few days, the city relocated the EOC to Pier 92, a large shipping terminal on the Hudson River, and Esri was there to help.
“They printed over 20,000 maps in the weeks following the terrorist attacks,” said Lanclos. “We were honored to be in the thick of it, helping the City of New York, and the nation as a whole, respond to and recover from that incident.”
For Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the DRP provided direct aid to several agencies. It helped put together a regional database, assisted with search-and-rescue operations, supported damage assessments, and did map production.
When the BP oil spill happened in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Esri provided the GIS capabilities to get multiple organizations with wide-ranging needs to collaborate and gain a common situational awareness.
“That was where we really saw how we could support not only traditional public safety agencies but also other types of organizations and needs all over the world,” said Lanclos.
It was then that the DRP really began to formalize. Internally, Esri established how the DRP could best respond to and prepare for emergencies, as well as how to have users activate the program when they needed it.
“Just like cities and counties activate their operations centers at different levels based on what they anticipate their needs to be, we do the same thing,” Lanclos explained. “We monitor hurricane forecasts, snow forecasts, flood forecasts, and more. We proactively reach out to users to make sure they’re ready, and we have a team on standby to field requests.”
“We are on call 24/7/365 to monitor, review, and process requests to support emergencies or events anywhere in the world,” said Brenda Martinez, the disaster response and public safety marketing specialist at Esri. “After we receive a request, it is reviewed to determine the specific need and then sent to the appropriate Esri staff members or departments for processing.”
If organizations use [the emergency management operations solution] as a road map for getting started with preparedness efforts, they can be ready for the next incident. They should do this today, even without the DRP.
The DRP has responded to countless hurricanes and wildfires, helped map disease outbreaks all over the world, and even provided assistance when multiple agencies from different countries needed to rapidly share geospatial data after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed in Ukraine in 2014.
Two years ago, the DRP experienced its busiest year on record with three major hurricanes—Harvey, Irma, and Maria—striking the Caribbean and the southern United States within about a month of one another, plus multiple devastating fires and severe flooding elsewhere.
Reacting to Emergencies and Preparing for the Next One
Unsurprisingly, the work never stops. When Hurricane Michael struck the Florida panhandle in October 2018 as a category 4 storm, Bay County sustained extensive damage. The 10-foot storm surge cut the barrier island of Cape San Blas in two and devastated the small town of Mexico Beach.
“We reached out to Bay County before the hurricane, but we didn’t hear anything until about 24 to 48 hours after landfall,” said Keith Cooke, an account executive for local government at Esri.
“They contacted us by satellite phone after the storm,” added Will Meyers, an Esri solution engineer. “They had very little communication.”
This was a rare occasion when Esri opted to deploy people on-site, so with support from the DRP, both Cooke and Meyers went straight to Bay County to help out. They assisted with general mapping, established a Web GIS presence within the EOC, and helped develop a damage assessment workflow. The two also built dashboards that officials used in their morning and evening EOC briefings, including one that showed how badly the storm had affected local businesses.
“We did some really cool stuff,” said Cooke. “But if it hadn’t been for the DRP team—with whom we had twice-daily calls—we would have been bogged down in phone calls, emails, and other minutiae in a place that didn’t have great connectivity.”
“There were so many people working on this behind the scenes, whether it was processing drone imagery, or working out logistics to get us what we needed, or just helping to connect the dots,” added Meyers. “It felt like we were sort of the middle man between a great resource team—the DRP—and the people on the ground.”
Esri’s DRP jumped into action for the November 2018 Camp Fire, too, which burned more than 150,000 acres, destroyed almost 19,000 structures, caused 86 fatalities, and devastated the town of Paradise in Butte County, California.
“I knew about [the DRP], but in the heat of the moment, everything is going crazy, and people are just pulling you in a thousand different directions,” recalled Jim Aranguren, Butte County’s GIS manager. “I think Esri reached out, or maybe I said, ‘Yeah, I need to contact them.’”
Esri DRP member Chris “Fern” Ferner jumped in to help Aranguren and Butte County manage their emergency needs.
“I didn’t even know what to ask for,” Aranguren said. “Esri was saying, ‘Do you need help with this map?’ And I’m like, “yes, yes, yes, and yes. What can you do for me?’ Esri immediately came in, contacted me, assessed what I needed, and brought in Fern to help out.”
With Ferner engaged, the DRP opened up Butte County’s ArcGIS Online organizational account, assisted with the surge of staff by giving it additional named users, and helped fix an app it was having trouble with. Interestingly, Butte County was actually prepared for a big wildfire, as well as flooding, given where it’s located—in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, amid a lot of woodland. It just didn’t have enough resources to support the scale of this incident, which quickly turned from a wildland fire into an urban fire when it tore into the ridge town of Paradise.
“I’m trying to think now of preparing for another scenario like we experienced. What do we do?” asked Aranguren. “Our ArcGIS Online experience and presence on the web wasn’t that big. We thought about maybe migrating our services to the cloud, so that could be something we think about doing down the road. Also, what [mobile] applications do we need to have waiting in the wings? What would the schema look like? Do we have all the pieces in place for the people going out in the field to get the information they need? Let’s build those, get them set up, and have them ready to go so we will be ready if this happens again tomorrow.”
Esri’s Emergency Management Operations Solution
The DRP’s long history has led to a better understanding of how organizations can prepare for the next event.
“We have learned a lot over the past 25 years,” said Lanclos. “We want to share this with others in hopes that they can start preparing now.”
A new solution for emergency management operations provides an integrated set of tools that address common workflows related to disasters. It was developed based on the DRP’s real-world experiences.
“People typically need to think about three main areas,” explained Lanclos.
First, assess how to maintain situational awareness and how to use GIS to do it. Second, figure out how to get teams out in the field to collect data and then get it back to the EOC. Third, determine how to manage public information so citizens know which actions to take and when.
“The solution we’ve created addresses all this and is based on requirements and feedback from users,” said Lanclos. “If organizations use it as a road map for getting started with preparedness efforts, they can be ready for the next incident. They should do this today, even without the DRP.”

Blackman House, 2208 Rucker Avenue (1910)
This is a Stick/Bungalow style house which has a steeply pitched gable roof and wide eaves supported with exposed rafters and brackets. Note the decorative row dormers on the front facade. Douglas Fir was used thoughout the house.
Among the first mill operaters in the county, the Blackmans were also in the vanguard during the industrialization of the Everett peninsula. They opened the first shingle mill of the Rockefeller boom on the north end of the waterfront. Charles Blackman built the eight room home at a cost of about $6,000 and resided there from 1910 to 1924. Former residents Paul and Mary Ehrlich ran a B and B in the house.
