kscarbel2 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Aaron Marsh, Fleet Owner / August 30, 2017 COLUMBUS, IN. With about 42,000 of Cummins, Inc.'s latest big-bore X15 Series diesel engines produced since their launch in January, the company unveiled the 15L platform's next evolution slated for availability in 2022 and showcased a range of energy-diverse products, including a fully electric, plug-in Class 7 truck. The press event at Cummins Technical Center here in Columbus, the company's global headquarters, explored how the engine maker is positioning itself to be the supplier of choice across the spectrum of diesel, alternative and emerging engine and powertrain technologies for commercial vehicles. "We're ready to support the changes shaped by the regulatory environment and global concern for air quality and the need for a low-carbon future," said Jennifer Rumsey, vice president and chief technology officer at Cummins. That includes heavy duty diesel engines the company said will meet tightening emissions and efficiency requirements going forward. With the 2017 X15 weighing in at 2,950 lbs., the next iteration of the engine is going to shave off some 300 lbs. from that and has essentially been designed to fit into a 13L engine's "shell," engineers explained. Reporters got a glimpse of the new engine in prototype form. The goal is to deliver a 15L for 2022 that's capable of the same levels of horsepower, torque and durability but will weigh less and have a smaller footprint to allow for advanced fuel systems, emissions and after-treatment technology and placement — as well as being able to fit in new aerodynamic truck designs. The upcoming Cummins X12 12L diesel, geared toward regional haul and weight-sensitive vocational trucking applications, will arrive in March 2018. It'll be available with ratings of 350-475 hp/ 1,250-1,700 lbs.-ft. of torque but weighs only about 2,050 lbs., which Cummins engineers said is roughly 600 lbs. lighter than the nearest 13L competitor and 150 lbs. lighter than even the nearest 11L competitor. The coming X12 and current and next-gen X15 engines utilize Cummins compact Single Module Aftertreatment product. They also share parts such as oil filters and turbos to help reduce costs for fleets with a mix of vehicles and configurations. Brett Merritt, executive director for on-highway business at Cummins, stressed the company's technical expertise and highlighted its wide product portfolio, noting the company is investing $700 million annually around the world in research and development. "We have the largest on-highway product offering in the globe. From 2.8L to 15L, from natural gas to diesel, we offer a wide array of solutions for our customers," he said. According to Merritt, Cummins' 2017 engine lineup has helped it reach an 80% share of the medium-duty North American commercial truck market, largely thanks to the B6.7 and L9 engines. "Whether the application be RV, package van, fire truck or bus, people in the market are choosing Cummins," Merritt said. "This suite of engines has become near-ubiquitous in the bus market, both transit and school, where we've reached over 90% share." Meanwhile, Cummins claims more than 37% market share in powering North American Class 8 trucks, a market to which the company remains "absolutely committed," he added. Alternatives and advancements Although Cummins believes diesel will remain the power source of choice for North American trucking for decades to come, the company is continuing to develop and invest in alternative fuel engines and technologies. It will also offer integrated powertrain solutions through its recently formed Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies joint venture. Stealing the show at the press event Tuesday was Cummins' "sneak peek" at the AEOS, a fully electric Class 7 demonstration truck with a max GVWR of 75,000 lbs. and a range of 100 miles per charge, which is extendable to 300 miles with additional battery modules. The truck features a Cummins Integrated Electrified Powertrain ahead of the company's 2019 target for market availability of such an electric option. Cummins also showcased its development of a high-efficiency spark-ignited technology "that can deliver diesel-like performance and durability" across a range of liquid fuels from ethanol to methanol and gasoline and can meet "the most stringent emissions requirements." At the Columbus technical facility, Cummins operates 88 test cells running diesel, natural gas, gasoline, ethanol, hydrogen, propane and biodiesel engines and has also invested in and continues to explore fuel cell power. Rob Neitzke, president of the Cummins Westport Inc. joint venture producing natural gas engines, pointed out that the latest Near-Zero 2018 powerplants — the B6.7N, L9N and ISX12N — are certified to the California Air Resources Board's NOx emission standards that are 90% lower than those of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He stressed the maturity of CNG technology as a fiscally viable option for the right markets and stability of natural gas prices, noting that fleets can purchase 3-4 year futures of the fuel. Connectivity The array of fuel and engine/powertrain options comes together with Cummins application of connectivity and data analytics. To that effect, Cummins formed a new internal organization in May led by Sherry Aaholm, chief information officer at Cummins, called the Digital Accelerator. It's meant to streamline innovation and bring concepts from idea to commercialization faster and complements Cummins' Connectivity Solutions division formed 15 years ago. Srikanth Padmanabhan, president of engine business at Cummins, explained that the point of the company's energy diversification in terms of commercial powertrains is to capitalize on disruptions globally while offering power solutions custom-tailored for individual markets and customers. "We will be the powertrain provider of choice for our customers, regardless of what the powertrain choice is in the on- and off-highway world," he contended. "Connectivity and electrification as disruptions are here — and we will capitalize on those disruptions much as we have with the other disruptions over the last few decades." Further, "we've succeeded in disruption because Cummins is a technology company that embraces change and capitalizes on that change with the right technology that matters for the marketplace and our customers," Padmanabhan said. Whatever the fuel for commercial vehicles, Cummins sees a unifying factor in data and computer control. That will allow the company to send over-the-air updates to reconfigure powertrains based on customers' particular needs, for example, while bringing maintenance to the prognostic and proactive. "We are able to start to see patterns that emerge, and out of those patterns we able to take care of reactive solutions for our customers in a shorter and shorter time frame," Padmanabhan noted. "But more importantly, we are thinking about them in a prognostic way and a proactive way and can help our customers fix the problems that they should never have in the first place." Going forward, Cummins sees a mix of internal combustion engines using a variety of fuels that will be necessary in the decades to come to meet commercial vehicle needs. But there will also be a variety of electric power based on geography, range/duty cycle and regulatory requirements, Padmanabhan contended, including fully electric, range-extended electric and hybrid electric configurations. And Cummins is hoping its global reach and established relationships will give it an edge in providing that range of power and powertrain options. "We're the people that understand the industry, that know the marketplace and know the customer applications," he said. "Whatever is going to come in the next 15 years, we will do the right thing in terms of making sure that the right technology for our customers matters, not just technology for the sake of technology." .

|WHO KNOWS THE POWER OF POETRY?
Who knows the power of poetry?
Poetry is the language
of the power of the deep heart.
And what is the power of the deep heart?
Is not the human heart linked to the motions
of sun and moon;
to the fiery unfoldment of every bud;
to the dark essence of tree blood in a branch;
to the limitless ocean of the holy?
If God so willed,
could He not through one human heart
stop all movements of the stars,
make rivers flow back from the sea
to the hills,
shrink a tree to its seed,
pour light into the brain of a blind man,
resurrect the dead with a word?
Who knows the power of the deep heart?
Its language is poetry.
Hey! Who knows the power of poetry?

Despite a strong defensive effort, the Sendai 89ers fell 67-59 to the host Rizing Fukuoka on Saturday.
The Rizing (24-13) scored 31 fourth-quarter points to secure the victory.
Kevin Palmer paced the hosts with 25 points, including 14-for-25 at the free-throw line. Macho forward Gary Hamilton added 15 points and 18 rebounds, Carlos Dixon scored 12 and Akitomo Takeno had 10.
“We held them to 36 points after three quarters — we led 37-36 but gave up too many transition baskets late in the game,” 89ers coach Bob Pierce told The Japan Times. “Unfortunately, it was also a night where they played good defense and we struggled mightily on offense.”
Dan Fitzgerald was Sendai’s leading scorer with 19 points and Hikaru Kusaka scored 11 for the 89ers (18-19).
Leading up to the game, the 89ers, whose 2010-11 season ended due to the Great East Japan Earthquake last March, reflected on the role that sports plays in community.
“As we remember the one-year anniversary of the 3/11 earthquake, our hearts and prayers go out to all those who lost family, friends, and loved ones,” Pierce said in a news release issued by the team on Friday. “Those of us involved with the 89ers this season owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the 89ers boosters, as well as to fans throughout Japan, who helped make this season possible. We are thankful for every game we get to play, and honored each time we have a chance to represent Sendai. Let’s keep working together to make Sendai even better. Go for it together.”
Before the 89ers game, Sendai forward Johnny Dukes summed up the feelings of many within Japan’s basketball community via Facebook: “(I’m) headed to the gym for tonight’s game but tonight it’s bigger than any one individual player or the game of basketball itself. (Tomorrow) is the one-year anniversary of the earthquake that hit Japan. Tonight we are going to fight for a full 40 minutes, but a year ago people had to fight to stay alive.”
He added: “We need this victory for our city, for the people that were lost and those who struggled to survive. This one is for you guys…”
The 89ers didn’t pick up the win, but the team’s nationwide support has been a constant theme after March 11.

Women’s World T20: Coverage? Money?
The World Twenty20 cricket is under way in Sri Lanka, the women’s competition alongside the men’s.
At the risk of jinxing them completely, England’s women have a great chance of winning it – unlike the men. And yet, have you seen any coverage of it?
Every men’s game is covered on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Xtra. The women’s tournament will not be covered until the semi finals on Thursday and Friday.
There is hardly any coverage in the newspapers, even in the broadsheets, while the men’s has garnered many column inches every day.
England has the best batter in the world in Sarah Taylor, a captain newly appointed to the MCC World Cricket Committee in Charlotte Edwards, and one of the most explosive bowlers in the game in Katherine Brunt, and yet there is neither terrestrial nor satellite television coverage.
Unfortunately, it’s a situation to which both women cricketers and fans have become accustomed.
However, there are other, more disturbing inequalities between the two tournaments.
This week, Charlotte Edwards uttered the immortal line: “It’s not about the money for us. If we played for money we would be playing different sports.”
It’s just as well, as the prize money for this tournament totals just on 60 thousand US dollars, whereas the men are playing for a cool one million.
There can be no doubt that the women’s game is not such a draw, but if it is not marketed in the same way, how are potential viewers supposed to make up their own minds?
If there is no access to media coverage, how will the situation ever improve?
The sad fact is that the women’s tournament is clearly not valued by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as much as the men’s and the organisation’s sexism, will, if not checked, ultimately cause women’s cricket as a whole to dwindle.
These days when exercise and sport, especially for women, are supposed to be being promoted, these decisions do nothing to encourage the development of a robust women’s game.
And if the prize money disparity wasn’t enough, a possibly more disturbing revelation has been that the men’s subsistence pay is 100 dollars a day while the women’s is just 60 dollars.
While the ICC could try to make all kinds of justifications as to the prize money difference, I can’t possibly see what they could say to justify the pay situation.
An ICC spokeswoman has said: ”We are working towards equal everything. We are aiming to have three viable formats in men’s and women’s cricket and to promote the women’s game so it receives the same exposure, the same opportunities and the same prize money.”
Notably, no time scales were mentioned.
These women are dedicated, talented athletes. They deserve more.
In England, women’s cricket is relatively well-regarded and supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
And yet these women still play in relative obscurity.
The controversies surrounding this tournament have undoubtedly highlighted the women’s game, but in a way neither the players nor the governing bodies wanted.
I certainly can’t wait for the day we can concentrate on what takes place on the field, not off it.

Not a technical post today (not that I am technical) but still an important one.
I have been using Azure for 1.5 years now and I am still fascinated by the ever-changing technology. Talking of ever-changing, I had a nice email from Microsoft about Azure price changes. Do read on!
Based on their periodic assessment starting January 1, 2017 here is the summary of the changes:
- British pound prices for Azure will increase by 22 percent to more closely align to euro pricing.
- Azure prices in Indian rupee, Argentine peso, and Mexican peso will increase.
- Azure prices in South African rand and Indonesian rupiah will decrease to realign to global levels.
- Customers or partners who purchased Azure within an EA, EAS, MPSA, or SCE agreement have price protection on currently offered Azure services and will receive the lower of their baseline price or the new market price.
- Customers under the Pay-As-You-Go model enjoy the benefits of no minimum purchase requirements and have flexible pricing. For these customers, prices will increase effective January 1, 2017.
- Azure purchased via Open – Consumption rates will increase effective January 1, 2017, to the new pricing in British pounds.
I better start looking at that pricing calculator again.

Sheth believes that the belly of the market has always been ₹15,000 smartphones, and the pandemic has seen the replacement cycles expand
Chinese tech brand, Realme has revealed its plans for the next year and the brand is confident about sales growth this year. Realme expects its sales growing by over 30% to about 25-30 million units this year in India. The company is also confident about its sales figures in the wearable and audio products segment.
According to a PTI report, Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth said 2020 was a "phenomenal year" for the company, and he claimed that despite losing about a quarter worth of sales, Realme clocked a 25% rise in smartphone sales at about 19 million units.
"Even though we lost a quarter of sales due to supply chain disruptions, I believe there was an opportunity in disguise and Realme grew by around 25 per cent (from 15 million in 2019 to 19 million in 2020). I think the minimum would be nothing less than 25-30 million handsets, that's what we are targeting for 2021," he said.
Sheth believes that the belly of the market has always been ₹15,000 smartphones, and the pandemic has seen the replacement cycles expand.
Market intelligence firm, IDC claims that the Indian smartphone market shipments grew 17% year-on-year (y-o-y) with record shipments of 54.3 million units in the September 2020 quarter.
Xiaomi managed to achieve a market share of 25% in the September quarter shipments, followed by Samsung (22.3%), Vivo (16.7%), Realme (14.7%) and Oppo (11.3%).
In the month of October, India's smartphone market grew 42% y-o-y with shipments at 21 million units.
"People are looking for more value for money, it's not about the cheaper phone, but one that gives them the value for money...We have always been a product driven company and we understand consumers well." Sheth added, "the replacement cycles have got longer and consumers are looking for a long term product, something that involves lesser visits to service centres, gives them value for money and brings in innovations".
"And Realme checks all these boxes and that gives us the confidence for growth this year," he added.
Sheth, who is also responsible for the European market, said since starting its operations in India, Realme has expanded to other markets.
"We started with India and so, it is going to be one of the most strategic businesses. Being a global company, India is always going to be relevant, but yes we are expanding further and we want to expand further to different geographies.
"Right now, India is more than 50 per cent of our global revenue and we would like India to continue contributing over 35 per cent over the next many years," he added.
Realme also plans to focus on AIOT products which includes smart TVs, smart watches and fitness bands and earbuds.
"AIoT has been a wonderful category and we have performed exceptionally well in these categories. People are looking for more technology help to ease up their life, and this will only increase further...We will be expanding our portfolio of AIOT products in wider price segments to give consumers better choices," he said.

A woman from Boston has spoken of her father's amazing tale of survival in the North Sea in 1916 during the First World War.
Rita Rowse from Kirton told Lincolnshire Live how her dad Aaron Motley Pesterfield was blown up three times in the sea - one of which claimed his father's life.
The 86-year-old has told her family's story after a memorial to commemorate Boston's lost fishermen was unveiled in the town in recent weeks.
Her father had been out fishing in the north sea with his father Ernest when his fishing boat was attacked by a German convoy.
A torpedo hit the Pesterfield ship but Aaron, along with four others, were able to escape on a lifeboat.
Rita said: "My father and grandfather had been out fishing in the North Sea in 1916 when they were attacked and blown up by a German torpedo.
"My father and four others managed to escape in a lifeboat and were picked up and taken back to Grimsby.
"They weren't allowed back into the town immediately as it was being bombed by the Germans.
"I would have liked to visit the monument today as it gets unveiled.
"My grandfather was one of those lost at sea."
Her father Aaron had a number of close calls with death as he set on a course to get revenge for his father's death.
He would sign up to join a mine sweeping team in the North Sea to stop others suffering the same fate.
Rita said: "My father would go on to be blown up two more times while working as a mine sweeper.
"He was blown up by a mine on convoy and later blown up by a torpedo as his boat sacrificed its self and took a hit for the convoy.
"He signed up under age by providing the wrong date of birth and later got kicked out.
"My dad later joined the army at the age of 18 and was a lovely man."

One of my favorite writers today is Mitch Albom. In his book, For One More Day, He said, "There's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin." I don't know why that line strikes me so hard, but it does. Our life is a story. But it's the continuation of another story. And one day another story will branch out from our story.
What do you like to see or hear in a story? Some of the best tales ever invite the reader to get involved in the details. They give us clues about what’s on the horizon. The best books and movies can do this without giving too much away. They offer hints that make us wonder, speculate, contemplate. Our favorite stories keep us on the edges of our seats and cause us to spend late nights turning pages and following their twists and carefully crafted turns.
This summarizes most of the Bible. Twists, turns, big reveals and a happy ending. We like that kind of story. Right? So it’s no surprise that the story of Joseph is a favorite for many. It reads like a novel and never lacks for tension to keep the reader engaged. But perhaps its greatest appeal is in the clues to what might happen beyond the story of Joseph’s life, past the centuries, farther ahead in the still dim pages of history. C. S. Lewis pointed out that shadows give us “hints of reality.” And like a shadow that offers a flickering glimpse of the real thing, the story of Joseph invites us to envision the coming Savior.
In short, the story of Joseph goes like this… He was the favored son of his father. His father sent him to his brothers, who rejected him. He was taken to Egypt to avoid being killed. He was sold for the price of a slave and then was falsely accused. He was condemned between two prisoners. His suffering eventually led him to a place of prominence and honor, and his brothers bowed their knees to him at last. In the end, he had suffered much but knew he had endured it all in order to save the lives of those he loved... Wait! Does that sound familiar? Yes!!! Think about the parallels between Joseph and Jesus.
Every story in the Bible is connected. They connect to Jesus. And they connect to you! How will your story end?
You are loved!

GOODREADS BOOK BLURB:
This debut novel by an Arab-American voice,takes us inside the lives of conservative Arab women living in America.
In Brooklyn, eighteen-year-old Deya is starting to meet with suitors. Though she doesn’t want to get married, her grandparents give her no choice. History is repeating itself: Deya’s mother, Isra, also had no choice when she left Palestine as a teenager to marry Adam. Though Deya was raised to believe her parents died in a car accident, a secret note from a mysterious, yet familiar-looking woman makes Deya question everything she was told about her past. As the narrative alternates between the lives of Deya and Isra, she begins to understand the dark, complex secrets behind her community.
This a tragic story of a Palestinian-American family and the fate of their women. It’s a voice and a point of view that is lacking in the books I’ve read in the past. I found it harrowing and brutally unforgivingly honest in its portrayal of the value of women and trying to escape our upbringing. It tells a story of how deeply ingrained cultural and societal rules warp the truly black and white, right and wrong, and force us to accept less than we deserve just because that is how things are done.
So many times in this story Fareeda is painted as the villain, and many of the things she does are truly villainous. However, when we are given a peek behind the curtain and get some chapters from her point of view, it is easy to see how quickly she changes from villain to another victim. Many times we see her starting down the right path, questioning her reaction and her actions, but in the end, she is almost always overwhelmed by how she was raised and her culture and what she sees around her in her community.
Isra is so naive and hopeful and unloved, her story is truly devastating. She spends so many years just wanting someone to love her. Neglected and beaten as a child because she is a girl and then married off to a stranger and forced to move across the world to a country where she barely speaks the language. She is so hopeful that as long as she does everything right, does her best to please Adam and his family, they will love and accept her. Everything that goes wrong for her, that keeps them from loving her, is so out of her control. She accepts what she believes she deserves because she has never been treated like anything of worth. All because she is a woman. And when she realises that her daughters will face the same fate, it’s almost too much to bear.
Deya, Isra’s daughter, struggles to understand her place in the world as the daughter of immigrants. Born and raised in the United States, she’s not truly American. But when Fareeda starts arranging meetings with boys to arrange her marriage before she’s graduated from high school, she’s forced to figure out her place in the world and what that means not only for herself but for her family and her culture.
Three generations of women, raised in different times and places, but with the same values. Their voices and stories came together to tell a familiar story from a new perspective, for me at least. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartbreaking, incredibly devastating story. In order to move forward as a society and a community, we must face and overcome our ingrained values and shared histories.


With the decision to have all of the Kenai Peninsula high school wrestling teams compete in the fall season already made, plans are under way to come up with a workable schedule for the season.
Kenai Central High School principal Sam Stewart, president of the Region III board, told the school board Monday that a proposal for the new wrestling season was on its way to the Alaska School Activities Association for approval.
ASAA's board of directors will consider the proposal at its spring meeting scheduled for May 1 and 2.
The format, Stewart said, was presented to the Region III board by representatives from Anchorage Christian Schools as a way to make a fall season work.
"Region III didn't make the recommendation," Stewart said, "but we were presented with the situation, and as administrators and athletic directors, we need to find a way to make it work."
Under the format outlined in the proposal, four regional qualifying meets would lead up the state meet, the site of which has yet to be determined.
The top six wrestlers in each class would advance to the state meet -- two more per class than advance under the current format.
Homer, Soldotna and Nikiski would compete in a qualifying meet that includes Glennallen, Grace and ACS.
Kenai, Seward and Skyview would wrestle in a qualifying meet against Houston, Valdez, Cordova, Tok and Ninilchik.
Stewart emphasized that the Region III board had been "proactive to promote one (wrestling) season," rather than the split-season solution ASAA adopted.
"We are trying to look for a solution for future seasons," Stewart told the school board, "but we have yet to come up with a compromise."
Also at Monday's school board meeting, superintendent Donna Peterson announced the formation of a Student Activities Task Force to evaluate the way extracurricular activities are handled in the district.
A series of open meetings has been scheduled for discussion of the way the Kenai Peninsula Schools Activities Association operates. The first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, with other meetings slated for April 27 and May 4.
All the meetings will take place at the Borough Building in Soldotna from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.

The wide-eyed, cute looking lemur species is under the threat of extinction.
According to an international group of conservationists, every species of the primate, which are discrete to Madagascar, may become extinct. The team had scrutinized the habitat and chances of survival of the animals, which have led to the speculation.
As per the study conducted by them, Lemurs are presently the most threatened primates in the world. Along with the extinction, another devastating piece of information was shared by Russ Mittermeier, Chair of the Primate Specialist Group from the Global Wildlife Conservation. He stated that the news of extinction is also an indicator of the destruction of the comprehensive biodiversity of Madagascar. This is another reason to worry as the unique flora and fauna of the land are the greatest assets.
He further mentioned that the agricultural procedure of slash-and-burn, production of charcoal, illegal logging, and destruction of the tropical forest are the primary threats to the species.
Along with the aforementioned factors, the tendencies of the humans to capture these creatures for the purpose of pet trade and poaching for food have also contributed to their probable extinction.
The poaching of the lemurs has reached an unsustainable level, which is severely threatening the survival of the creatures. According to Prof. Christoph Schwitzer, the poaching is also being implemented for the commercial purposes. The professor from the Bristol Zoological Society also stated that the trade of serving Lemur as a part of their menu is a new trend and is increasing at an alarming rate.
There are 111 various kinds of Lemur species, out of which 105 are under severe threat. Since these are all endemic to Madagascar, these creatures are under the threat of getting extinct.
IUCN has implemented Lemur action plan in order to safeguard the endangered species and implement proper measures to protect their habitat.

Panaji: Onion prices reached 70 per kg in the retail market in Panaji on Wednesday, a 20 jump from last week. Vegetable vendors said the superior pink variety of onions has not been coming to the Goa market for the past couple of days.
“Three days ago, onion rates went up to 65, and today, they touched 70. My customers have cut down their onion purchase by half—most of them are picking up just a few for the day’s cooking alone, in the hope that the prices will go down in a day or two. When they complain, I inform them that people in Delhi are paying 100 per kg,” Panaji market vegetable vendor Madan Naik said. “I have accordingly reduced my bulk purchase of onions,” he added. The wholesale price of onion as of Wednesday was 65 per kg.
At the Goa State Horticulture Development Corporation (GSHDC) stalls and vegetable carts, the kitchen essential is a bit cheaper, the red Belgaum onions selling at 54 a kg. At these outlets, each person is allowed to purchase just two kg of onions per day. Officials have also been asked to stay alert, to prevent the sale of subsidized onions to restaurant staff or vegetable hawkers. tnn
“The sudden price rise is the result of increased demand for Belgaum onions across the country. Belgaum has begun to supply onions to south Indian states, where the crop was affected due to pre-monsoon rains, as well as all the states hit by cyclone Phailin. The resultant shortage has led to the rates being hiked, but they should come down within two weeks,” GSHDC manager (farms) Joaquim de Sousa said.
Until then though, families would have to tighten their belts, as tomatoes have also become dearer, with retail prices reaching Rs 40 a kg. At GSHDC stalls, the rates were lower at Rs 29 a kg.
The rise in price may not affect restaurants much, as most have annual contracts of fixed prices for procurement of vegetables, say vendors. “I still have to supply onions at Rs 45 a kg to the restaurants I have an agreement with—it’s a Rs 20 loss for me,” Naik said.
De Sousa said that such dramatic hikes in onion prices could be prevented if Goan farmers start growing onions. “This year, agriculture department has procured large amounts of onion seeds, hoping that Goan farmers would be encouraged to start growing onions,” de Sousa said.
While there is an onion variety that is grown in Goa, it is of superior quality and would even fetch Rs 70 per kg in the market he added. “The farmers here will not be willing to sell their produce to the corporation,” he said.

The theme of death is portrayed many times by the characters Mercutio, Romeo, and Juliet. The first instance of this theme was in act 3 when Mercutio challenged Tybalt to a sword fight. 'Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find a grave man.'(3.1.104) Also as Mercutio is dying he says 'Help me into some house, Benvolio, Or I shall Faint.' (3.1.113.) Both quotes show how Mercutio partook in the death theme.
In Act 5, Romeo again reveals the death theme. Upon hearing of Juliet's death, he is so heartbroken that he goes to the apothecary to get poison so he can join Juliet. 'To Juliet's grave; for there must I use thee.' (5.1.93). When Romeo is about to drink the poison he says, 'Here's to my love! [Drinks.] O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die. [Falls.]' (5.3.122). This shows how Romeo loves Juliet, so much so that he is willing to die to be with her.'
After Juliet wakes up from her death-like sleep, she sees Romeo's dead corpse and like him, wants to join him in death. 'O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss his lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them. To make me die with a restorative.' (5.4.163-164) shows how desperate she is to join him and 'O happy dagger! [Snatches Romeo's dagger.] This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die. [She stabs herself and falls.]' (5.4.169-170) shows her following through.
All these quotes show how the theme death was portrayed by the characters Mercutio, Romeo, and Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet. This theme was very important to the play for it is the core of the tragedy and helps to...


The thrilling and true story of the development and operational deployment of human torpedoes – ‘Chariots’ – and ‘X-craft’ midget submarines in British naval service during WWII, and of the extraordinary men who crewed these dangerous vessels. The commando frogmen who rode the Chariots and operated as divers from the X-craft were the forerunners of today’s Special Boat Service, the SBS.
Their aim was to attach an explosive charge underneath an enemy ship to destroy the vessel. Their hope was to return to their submarine unscathed. The Real X-Men tells the story of the sacrifice and heroism of the individual men, many of them little more than teenagers, who volunteered for this dangerous duty and who crewed both the Chariots and the X-craft without knowing the full extent of the risks entailed, nor indeed the very small chances they had of coming back alive.

Wind turbine blades can measure up to 60 meters long, and in strong wind gusts will flex five meters or more. Because wind gusts can be very localized, though, long turbine blades sometimes experience loads of very different amounts along those 60 meters. Researchers at the Riso National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy at the Technical University of Denmark have created a maneuverable elastic flap that could attach to the blades and help control those loads to increase output.
By moving the flap in relation to the turbine blade using a pneumatic control system and sensors to determine wind speed and direction, the loads along the length of the blade can be balanced. Aside from the simple variability of wind speed there are also localized effects at wind farms due to turbulence from surrounding turbines. "It is these local influences which we hope our design will help mitigate," said Helge Aagaard Madsen, one of the project's researchers.
So far, the system has been tested on a small scale in a wind tunnel, but the researchers say it will soon be ready to scale up to a full size prototype.
"A further bonus of our design is that the moulded rubber trailing edge gives us a sharp edge which produces less noise and greater output," Madsen said. Most blades now are built as two pieces and fitted together, after which the edge's thickness is ground down.
The noise and turbulence produced by nearby wind turbines is always an issue in maximizing output of a wind farm, and reducing the loads using this type of flap system is only one way engineers are trying to mitigate those effects. A recent paper in the journal Renewable Energy attempts to optimize wind farm design with an algorithm for siting the turbines.
These types of efficiency measures, although individually probably without enormous effects on wind turbine and wind farm output, will undoubtedly help as wind power scales up around the world. After all, the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory now estimates that the country has an overall capacity to generate 37 million gigawatt-hours of electricity annually from wind power, an amount that dwarfs the total U.S. energy consumption.

This is my second book featuring detective Harry Bosch. This book is about investigation of a murder which took place close to two decades back. Harry Bosch was called to a crime scene when the bones of a child were accidentally discovered by a dog. Bosch did his due diligence and various suspects were investigated including a Hollywood set decorator, the father, sister and a childhood friend of the victim. During the course of the investigation, he had a short affair with one of the fellow uniformed officers and tussle with his deputy chief.
The climax reveals the reason of the murder as mere greed (won’t reveal what, else the plot will be out) and the story ends with Bosch turning in his badge and walking away from his office.
This book is one of the faster book in the slow investigative books and keeps the reader interested through out the story. There are no unnecessary descriptions in the book. Overall a simple storyline and nice read.

Copious amounts of booze? Check. Bright red sunburn clashing with a loud Hawaiian print shirt? Double check. Annoying chants screamed at full volume over and over again (most likely Gareth Southgate)? Triple check. It’s a full house. You’ve gone and got yourself – the Brits abroad starter pack.
British partygoers get a terrible rep wherever they go, and in our – absolutely unbiased – opinion, it’s not much of a secret why.
Here are four stereotypes that show why Brits abroad are the appalling nemesis of locals from anywhere and everywhere.
A curious inability to master even the simplest sentences in the native language, coupled with a disregard for local customs and a penchant for socially unacceptable behaviors. This holy trinity labels British party animals as a global pariah.
We’re not the only ones saying it. Locals are up in arms in all of the classic British party hotspots (think Magaluf, Benidorm, Ayia Napa), as one British journalist and translator who now lives in Spain revealed:
“Loudness, lewdness, nudity, sexual acts, vandalism, vomiting, urinating and even defecating in the street are some of the behaviours among drunken Brit tourists which upset locals (funnily enough).”
And we don’t blame them. All things considered, we Brits are a rowdy bunch.
In the eyes of the world, we’re a “dirty, hoggish people” as Mareks Seglis, Latvia’s ex-minister summarised so kindly.
Only we’re not. At least, not always. There’s a special something in the holiday air that gets UK holidaymakers fired up and ready to demolish the bar – and their nation’s global reputation.
English is the lingua franca of international, entertainment, tech and education business, and many things in-between.
It’s hardly surprising that British people who are used to finding a listening ear wherever they venture to expect this as standard. But it’s more than just a practical expectation.
Refusing to pick up a few words in the local language plays into a wider dynamic of perceived cultural superiority.
A big part of the very British disrespect boils down to language, as the same journalist noted:
“The ongoing refusal to even try to learn [the local language] is forever going to be the biggest barrier to [British people] being totally accepted […] I feel it even as a tourist if I’m in a country where I don’t speak a language they understand”
At the heart of it is the same mentality that motivates public urination, antisocial behaviour, football chants in the early morning hours, and street defecation.
It’s a case of Brits abroad giving off the air that they believe the country they’re visiting is there for their taking, existing solely to serve the needs of Gazza’s Stag-Do 2K19 – from the drinks they buy to the language they place their order in.
Admittedly, boozy Brits don’t have many boundaries in their own country– at least not when alcohol is involved.
But most exhibit far more outrageous antics in foreign streets than they’d ever dream of doing in their home cul-de-sac.
When they don’t see the country they visit as a place with its own culture, history, and language, tourists think they can just use and abuse it during their boozy city break.
A few words of mispronounced Spanglish isn’t going to heal Britain’s broken global reputation – especially if words are those of a drinks order and nothing more.
A bit of Google searching, a Lonely Planet Guide, and even some language lessons can go a long way in breaking down the cultural stereotypes associated with boozy Brits whose ignorance gives their nation a bad name.
Yes, self-professed party islands will always attract people wanting to let loose in a way that they can’t do back home.
But this doesn’t have to mean disrespecting local customs, traditions, and people.
The problem isn’t in our sunburn, bad dress sense, or obsession with sticking to what we know and love (a full English to start the day and an Irish pub to end it).
It’s more about how we see the world and our place in it.
As a relatively tiny island with a small understanding of the world beyond our doorstep, we Brits would do well to see foreign holidays as a chance to learn about cultures different from our own, not just embark on a boozy blowout.
Next time you’re on holiday with your mates making a scene worthy of an Inbetweeners skit, maybe think twice about what stereotypes you’re guilty of playing into.

Latest posts at BaseballGB
Goose Gossage’s selection to Cooperstown this week has made me consider the whole concept of the Hall of Fame. In part, that’s because I’ve got no real attachment to Gossage. I’ve only been following baseball for ten years so I never saw him in action and the history of the sport doesn’t reverberate in the […]
The announcement that Roger Clemens’s date with Congress has been put back to 13 February is great news for sports writers and columnists. It’s another month to drag this story out; another month to publish more sensationalist opinions from the great and not-so good. For everyone else, it’s immensely frustrating. Whichever side of the fence […]
“The Joy of Keeping Score” by Paul Dickson, (Walker & Company, 2007), 117 pages. There seems to be two distinct camps within the world of baseball fans: those who love keeping score and those who are mystified by its appeal. The former will find “The Joy of Keeping Score” to be a real treat, the […]
The Sunday Times has published a feature today in their sports supplement about US Sports, including a piece by David Walsh about Roger Clemens. He refers to the upcoming ’60 minutes’ interview that will be broadcast on CBS tonight, in which Clemens will apparently claim to have injected nothing more than vitamins and painkillers into […]
The journey from the end of the World Series to the start of the next MLB season is a long one. On dark, bitterly cold winter nights, you can’t help but think ahead to the joys of spring. Waking to the sound of birds tweeting and twittering, walking home from work while it’s still light […]
There’s an excellent article on The Hardball Times website today all about the current state of baseball throughout the world. It’s well worth reading, particularly to see how Europe is starting to make some positives steps in providing talent to Major League teams. Rick van den Hurk has showed that it is possible for European talent […]
“The Numbers Game: Baseball’s Lifelong Fascination with Statistics” by Alan Schwarz, (St Martin’s Press, 2004), 270 pages. It’s a popular misconception that the infatuation with statistics in baseball is a product of the recent computer-obsessed age. Alan Schwarz debunks this myth in “The Numbers Game” by charting the history of the sport from the mid-nineteenth […]
The start of a new year motivates many of us to look back on the successes and failures of the previous year and to think ahead to what we hope the coming twelve months will bring. 2007 marked the first year of BaseballGB proper, after a year of blogging about baseball on the WordPress network. […]
Happy new year everyone. There’s not much on the tele, as per usual for New Years day, so why not spend a few minutes watching some clips about the science of baseball? The Mister Baseball website highlighted some baseball-related FSN sports science clips that are on You Tube and they are well worth a look.
I don’t think the world either wants or needs another Jose Canseco book, but it looks like we’re getting one. I guess you have to grudgingly admit that his brazen arrogance has at least forced MLB to do something about the issue of performance-enhancing drugs. Sadly, I don’t believe for a minute that Canseco is […]

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Pro Bowl shuffle continues.
Last week, RB LeSean McCoy pulled out of the game due to a minor knee injury. Soon thereafter, it was announced that long snapper Jon Dorenbos and WR Jeremy Maclin were added to the Pro Bowl roster and would soon be making the trip to Arizona. Maclin was to replace the Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas; Dorenbos was selected as a need player by Pro Bowl coach Jason Garrett.
But now, that has changed. Continue reading ‘Jeremy Maclin pulls out of Pro Bowl’
It’s the last day of 2014, and the Philadelphia Eagles are already settling into the reality of the offseason. After their 34-26 win over the Giants on Sunday, all was said and done for their season. The team once again found itself with a 10-6 record, but this time with no playoff berth. So, instead of cheering on the Birds, our joy this weekend will be rooting for the Detroit Lions to crush the Cowboys.

The Seattle Seahawks face the Philadelphia Eagles at the Linc today for a huge NFC showdown. Who will prevail?
The NFL’s top-ranked defense will meet a soaring Eagles offense, fourth in the league and cruising at 416.2 yards per game. Philadelphia’s Thanksgiving beat down of the Cowboys showed a Birds team firing on all cylinders, ready for their most critical matchups of the season. With the o-line finally finding its footing with the return of Jason Kelce and Evan Mathis, LeSean McCoy has had back-to-back games of 100+ yards.

How long does it take for hydrogen peroxide to break down?
Hydrogen peroxide is relatively unstable and decomposes quickly.
In a sealed container, hydrogen peroxide lasts approximately 3 years.
However, as soon as you open the container, it starts to break down.
You might be surprised to learn that it’s only effective for 1 to 6 months once the container is opened..
Does hydrogen peroxide raise blood pressure?
Diabetes and Hypertension affect up to 30% of the US population, and lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). While oxidative stress, including elevated hydrogen peroxide, is a common mediator of CKD, the mechanism by which hydrogen peroxide increases blood pressure and worsens glomerular damage in diabetes is unclear.
What causes a buildup of hydrogen peroxide in the body?
The build up of hydrogen peroxide was caused by a reduction of an enzyme that breaks up hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen (catalase).
Does peroxide bubbles mean infection?
When you dab hydrogen peroxide on a cut, that white, fizzling foam is actually a sign that that the solution is killing bacteria as well as healthy cells.
Can I pour hydrogen peroxide in my well?
Hydrogen peroxide well water treatment for bacteria may not be as popular as other options for the treatment of bacteria-infested well water, but it is just as effective as, say, chlorination or shock treatment and, according to experts, is in fact safer.
What does hydrogen peroxide kill?
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , hydrogen peroxide kills yeasts, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.
What happens if you mix rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide?
Pour the isopropyl alcohol into the clean container. Mix in the hydrogen peroxide. It kills bacteria that can get into the bottles or the sanitizer as you make it. Take extra care with this step, since hydrogen peroxide may irritate your skin.
What is hydrogen peroxide good for?
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild antiseptic used on the skin to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It may also be used as a mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation (e.g., due to canker/cold sores, gingivitis).
What does hydrogen peroxide do to blood?
When a solution of hydrogen peroxide is added to human blood the peroxide is decomposed and oxygen is evolved. This reaction has been used to oxygenate stored blood before transfusion (Nikitin, 1948).
What should you not put hydrogen peroxide on?
5 Things You Should Never Do with Hydrogen PeroxideDon’t use it to clean deep cuts. Hydrogen peroxide is a staple of many medicine cabinets and first aid kits. … Don’t use hydrogen peroxide without wearing gloves. … Don’t mix it with vinegar. … Do not ingest it. … Don’t use it if it doesn’t fizz when you start cleaning.
What happens if there is too much hydrogen peroxide in the body?
Ingestion of hydrogen peroxide may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract with nausea, vomiting, haematemesis and foaming at the mouth; the foam may obstruct the respiratory tract or result in pulmonary aspiration.

WWE announced that they would be releasing a number of personnels immediately to cut budget and operating expenses due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Aside from talent, WWE has also released producers to trim down on costs.
The list of released WWE superstars include Rusev, Erick Rowan, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Heath Slater, Mike and Maria Kanellis. Even WWE RAW General Manager and veteran WWE referee Mike Chioda were released in the move.

WWE Superstars React To WWE Release
Four-time WWE Tag Team Champion Heath Slater thanked everyone for the kind words on Twitter. He also said he would require more time to process the end of his 16 year career at the company.
He wrote, “I know everyone is waiting to hear my response to my release from WWE but after 16 years I’m going to need a little more than a few hours to really digest all my thoughts and emotions. For now, thank you all for all of your kind words and support during this time.”
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, who made his debut with the company in 1998, was also released from role as a producer. The four time WWF/WWE Champion thanked WWE. In addition, he encouraged superstars to continue entertaining the fans.

Chapter 211 How Is She the Big Picture?
Although Nicole did not want to receive Eric Ferguson, he was already here, so she had to maintain superficial politeness. Logan held open the door of her office.
Nicole walked in with big strides. She exuded such a confident and elegant а aura and carried such superiority that made her so unattainable that others could only look up to her and sigh in admiration.
Eric watched her back as she pushed the door in and was slightly stunned. This scene suddenly felt so familiar.
That image deep in his mind surfaced for a while, In the darkness, the woman in the red dress whose face could not be seen, and the light that pierced through the night.
The light rushed out from the gap in the door and spilled out everywhere with such abruptness. He frowned slightly. That was back when he was in Europe.
‘Why did I suddenly remember this?’ …… ) “Mr. Ferguson, please come in…”
Logan extended his arm and politely reminded him. Eric walked in and swept a glance. The furnishing of Nicole’s office was very minimalist. The details had a little girlish temperament.
There was a sculpture in front of her desk. A pink rose was stuck onto that sculpture’s head that made it look playful and vivid.
‘So, this is what she looks like when she’s working…’ Eric thought. Nicole sat on the large soft sofa and sank inside, looking comfortable and casual.
“Mr. Ferguson, why did you come to see me?” Nicole looked at him seriously. If Eric did not have any serious business, she would kick him out.
Eric’s gaze was dark and sullen. “Have you thought about our cooperation for that piece of land?” Nicole raised her eyebrows. That’s what he’s here for.’
“Is such a small matter worth a personal trip from you, Mr. Ferguson?” ‘Does he have nothing better to do?’ Eric’s face was sullen and cold.
His temperament was calm and cool. He did not hesitate. “It’s good to make a decision early. We shouldn’t delay this.” Nicole’s finger tapped lightly on the side of the sofa.
She suddenly thought of that woman who had kicked her out of the Carter family’s good graces. Nicole believed that what just happened had something to do with Chloe Snyder.
If Nicole’s relationship with the Carter family was ruined, the one who would benefit most from this and the most popular candidate for Ian’s wife would be Chloe Snyder.
‘Hmph…’ After some thought, Nicole looked at Eric. “I’m willing to cooperate, but I have one condition.”
Eric’s eyes were deep like the dark ocean. There was not a single crease on that handsome and perfect face. He would agree to whatever conditions he wanted.
“I don’t care what private agreement you’ve reached with Chloe Snyder. This project can only have me or her.” Nicole’s attitude was resolute, and her demand was clear, although it did sound a bit unreasonable.
Who was she to ask Eric to kick out another partner? This was completely irrational. Eric frowned slightly as he was puzzled. His calm and cool temperament showed a rare trace of confusion.
Nicole laughed and did not hide the coldness on her face. “Eric Ferguson, I know that you’re only asking Stanton Corporation to join this time because you more or less want to make amends.”
He did not make a sound. There was silence. Nicole pursed her lips, picked up the coffee in front of her, and took a sip, then gently put it down.
“I accept your compensation.” Eric looked up abruptly. He was stunned for a moment.
Her calmness was somewhat unexpected.
“You’ve thought it through?” Eric’s voice was deep. “But I won’t work with Chloe Snyder, so she must be out.
Of course, this is also your only chance to make amends.” As soon as the project was done, everyone was even. There was no need to bring out such an unpleasant past and chew on it over and over again.
In the end, the only one suffering was Nicole. The atmosphere was silent for a while. It was clear that Eric had the upper hand in this project, but Nicole sounded so righteous while stating her condition.
Apart from Nicole, no one else could speak like this in front of Eric Ferguson. “Why?” Eric asked.
‘She and Chloe shouldn’t have much interaction, right?’ Nicole let out a cold laugh and said it as a matter of course, “I just simply hate her as a person, nothing else.” )) ‘So, don’t even mention the big picture…
How is Chloe Snyder the big picture?’
