Introduction: This report presents the results of a dyno test performed at ZAC Motorsport's R&D workshop in Toowoomba, Australia, on 26th January 2023. The aim of the test was to compare the performance of the stock air intake system of a 2017 W205 C63 AMG against the ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake system. The test was performed on a Dyno Dynamics rolling dyno, with the car's hood down to simulate real-world driving conditions.
The dyno test was performed in a controlled environment with the ambient temperature and humidity recorded on the day of the test. The base wheel horsepower of the stock car was 401hp, and the test was performed with the engine heavily heat soaked after testing the factory intake system. The ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake system was installed after the factory intake system was tested, and the performance of the car was recorded again on the dyno. The car was running completely stock (no ECU reflash/tune) with the only modifications being our RPA BOV conversion, and catless downpipes both were left on for both runs.
According to AMG specifications, the base engine horsepower of a 2017 C63s is 503hp, so the 401 wheel horsepower achieved in the test represents a parasitic loss of 20.2% through the dyno, wheels, and drivetrain of the car. Or to calculate the engine HP from the dyno's output add 25.5% to 401 WHP. The results of the test showed a favorable increase in power, with a 15.5 wheel peak horsepower increase, and a maximum power increase of 26 wheel horsepower at 6750 rpm (from 380hp to 406hp).
If we add the same 25.5% to these figures we achieve a calculated engine HP increase of 20HP at peak, and more importantly, 34HP at 6750 RPM. This gain at higher RPM is expected as the engine requires a greater air volume at high RPM, and the ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake is far less restrictive than the factory system.
ZAC Motorsport back to back runs on dyno dynamics dyno. View the entire video below..
The dyno test performed by ZAC Motorsport demonstrates the benefits of the ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake system, with an increase in horsepower and torque. The results show that the ZAC system outperforms the stock air intake system and provides a noticeable improvement in the car's performance.
Ambient Temperature and Humidity: On the day of the test, the ambient temperature in Toowoomba, Australia, was recorded as 30°C, and the humidity was 71%.
It is important to note that the engine bay was already heavily heat soaked and that the test was performed with the car's hood down to simulate real-world driving conditions, affecting the results. The 20.2% parasitic loss through the dyno, wheels, and drivetrain of the car is consistent with industry standards.
When ZAC Motorsport set about solving the obvious intake restriction issues with the W205 C63 it was apparent the volume of air required to support 1200+HP these engines are capable of required some "out of the box" thinking (bad pun). The C63 is extremely limited in engine bay space, the filters sit right beside the hot v turbo chargers, the factory airboxes are limited in post filter volume, also the inlet into the turbo is extremely small in cross sectional area.
Air volume post filter help turbo spool on initial throttle opening and also flow better at high RPM
It was obvious there was not sufficient space for a traditional closed airbox if we were to feed this engine with the volume of unrestricted cool air it needed. It was also very obvious that the standard plastic cold air inlet tubes into the airboxes were another restriction, with small cross sectional area, and convoluted plastic flex joints that cause a great deal of turbulence. The engineers at AMG are likely well aware of these restrictions, and deliberately design them into the C63 to choke the performance of the baby (and less expensive) AMG model. ZAC Motorsport is heavily involved in motorsport, and assists as pit crew and also sponsors several AMG GT3 cars. We reference the BOP (Balance of Performance) restrictions placed on the AMG GT3 intake...
This restriction is put in by the governing authorities to limit performance.
ZAC Motorsport proudly sponsors and assists the Volante Rosso/ Harrolds AMG GT3 team.
The same physics applies to the intake of any ICE (internal Combustion Engine). So it is obviously pointless making a high flowing filter or air intake tube from the filter to the engine, if the bottleneck (called a "gate" in automotive engineering terms) is the inlet into the sealed airbox. To reiterate, another analogy would be having a firehose being fed water from a garden hose. Doesn't matter how big the firehose is, the restriction is the garden hose.
ZAC Motorsport intakes are all designed and tested in Australia using the latest CAD software.
The solution ZAC Motorsport engineers came up with is what makes our intake system unique not only in performance, but looks and also sound. We love the pleasure of driving our AMG's just as you do, and that intake sound is intoxicating! Something not achieved in a closed airbox system.

United Drug pays €35m for German outsourcer
Irish healthcare firm United Drug has agreed to pay €35m to buy Pharmexx, a German logistics and contract sales business. It is acquiring the unit from drug group Celesio, which in Ireland owns distributors Cahill May Roberts and the Unicare pharmacy chain.
United Drug said that the acquisition will involve a cash payment of €28.7m, which is inclusive of net cash and other liability items being assumed as part of the deal.
Pharmexx, which is headquartered in Stuttgart, employs over 2,300 people and provides contract sales outsourcing services to global pharmaceutical manufacturers. The services are provided by subsidiary operations throughout Europe and in Canada, and via minority shareholdings in businesses located in Brazil and Argentina. Pharmexx also has a small operation in Ireland.
It began operations here in 2007 and in 2009 bought Alchemy Healthcare Ireland.
Pharmexx will become part of United Drug's Ashfield Group, which is part of the Irish group's sales, marketing and medical services division. Ashfield employs over 2,000 people and is headquartered in the UK. It provides contract sales as well as nurse advisory outsourcing, training and marketing services.
United Drug chief executive Liam FitzGerald said the acquisition of Pharmexx was a "major step forward" in the group's ambition to become the leading global provider of contract sales outsourcing services to the pharmaceutical sector.

Columbus, OH. – Dr. Rachel Tumin, Survey and Population Health Analyst Manager for the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center (GRC), received high honors from the Ohio Public Health Association (OPHA) for her substantial public health research and health survey work. The OPHA Awards Committee chose Tumin as the Young Public Health Professional of the year. OPHA is a statewide organization that aims to increase awareness for public health issues and enables the optimal health of Ohioans.
“One of my favorite things about my job is that allows me to couple my passion for improving the health of Ohio’s at-risk and underserved populations with my research expertise and interests,” says Tumin. “I am honored to receive this award from an organization that also values this work.”
Among many of her accomplishments, Rachel is currently the Principal Investigator of the Ohio Better Birth Outcomes Prenatal Care Capacity Study, which assesses where Medicaid-enrolled pregnant women living in Franklin County receive their prenatal care, estimates the capacity to provide prenatal care, and identifies gaps in prenatal care access and capacity. Rachel also has extensive experience developing survey questionnaires for telephone and mail surveys, and analyzing complex survey data. She has participated in several iterations of the Ohio Medicaid Assessment Survey, a large telephone survey that examines access to the health system, health status, and health determinant characteristics of Ohio’s Medicaid, Medicaid eligible, and non-Medicaid populations.
“Rachel sets a very high standard for providing quality research and data, and we are thrilled that OPHA is recognizing her value to her peers throughout the state,” said Lorin Ranbom, GRC Director. “Our organization and the health of Ohio’s most vulnerable populations are better because of her dedication and hard work.”
“’Rachel’s day-to-day work makes a tremendous impact on public health in Ohio,” said Dr. Amy Ferketich, nominator and professor in the Division of Epidemiology at the Ohio State University College of Public Health. “You may not see her name regularly in the press, but her efforts behind the scene are substantial and her work allows people like the Directors of Medicaid and Health to do their jobs.”
Rachel received her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from The Ohio State University College of Public Health in 2015, and her research interests include survey methodology and questionnaire development, food insecurity and mealtime behaviors, and the health of special populations.

We are now flying down the road towards the T20 World Cup at the end of the year with all the international teams stepping up their preparations for the showpiece down under. Before you know it, the first ball will be bowled in October, probably by a spinner after the sounds of intense electronic music has just died down, and the tournament will be underway.
The T20 format is cricket’s answer to staying cool and relevant but has it achieved its intended result of spiking the public’s interest in the game? It has been some 15 years since the first-ever international T20 game was played between New Zealand and Australia in Auckland. A look at the scorecard from that game will show you that T20 cricket got off to an uncompetitive start as Australia trounced New Zealand by 44 runs.

I remember the first time I saw Arlington Cemetery in person. What an impressive sight. Rows and rows of crosses indicating lives lost in defense of the freedoms we enjoy. Then there is the Vietnam Memorial, another monument to valiant lives lost in defense of this great country. We often take our freedoms and liberties for granted, we shouldn’t. Too many countries in this world have no such freedom or liberty. Ours is not without its’ costs. Military families don’t take our freedom as US citizens so lightly. They know all too well the costs. It is a shame that we need monuments, crosses and holidays to remember and pay tribute. Don’t let the true meaning of Memorial Day go unnoticed. If you need a tangible reminder google some pictures of Arlington Cemetery or the Vietnam Memorial. They are poignant reminders of our fallen heroes along with many sights in our capital and all over this great land. We really should not ever forget!
Have a blessed Memorial Day holiday!

Exclusive interview with HighasaKite
Hi, my name’s Deborah from Alternative Beast and what are your names and what instruments do you play and where do you hail from?
Highasakite is: Ingrid Helene Håvik (vocal and zither), Marte Eberson (keyboard and vocal), Kristoffer Lo (guitar, vocal and flugabone), Øystein Skar (keyboard and perc) and Trond Bersu (drums). We all come from different parts of Norway. Ingrid comes from the fjords of Ålesund, Marte and Kristoffer from the urban capital Oslo, me and Trond comes from the high mountains in inner Norway, called Gudbrandsdalen.
How long have you been playing together?
Me, Trond and Ingrid have played in Highasakite for almost 2 years now. Marte and Kristoffer joined the band in July 2012 – to celebrate the nice festival summer with us! Besides that, we have played together in different settings earlier.
How did you get started?
Trond and Ingrid started out as a duo with drums and vocal. After recording some songs, they asked me to come out to the studio (called Ocean Sound) on the Island Giske in Norway. I grabbed all the keyboards I could find, and took the first plane out there, and we tried to figure out how to play the songs in new ways. It was great fun in beautiful surroundings!
So how is the local scene in Norway?
It`s a huge scene with a lot of great musicians, venues and bands. The government puts art and music very high, and the country has many places you can apply for art-founding. Because of this, a lot of international musicians and composers comes to the country – specially Oslo! Making it a vibrant art scene.
You’re going to be playing the US for the first time soon, are you excited for the SXSW Fest in Austin, Texas?
YES! We all are really looking forward to it, and we hope the people of Texas will like us. We will do our very best!!
Do you have any favorite bands from the US, if so who are they?
Some of my personal favorites is Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter, Bon Iver, Steve Reich, LOW and many many many others.
What bands do you consider to be your biggest influences?
That is a impossible question since we have listened, and made music since we were very young, and are influenced in some way of all the music we have listened to – in addition to music teachers, band mates,life and surroundings.
Besides playing SXSW, you’ll be playing New York for two nights as well, will you be coming back for more dates in the US sometime this year?
Hopefully! Everybody who works for us are doing a great job – and there is a lot happening now so its pretty likely to happened!
Your new EP “In and Out Of Weeks” is coming out soon, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to it, and I’m looking forward to a full length album from you guys, do you have anything in the works as of yet for a full length later this year or so?
There will be a new EP to be released in the autumn, then the international debut album at the end of 2013/beginning 2014

David Banner Returns to Music with Politics in Mind
Published Apr 19, 2016In the 13 years since his breakout single, "Like a Pimp," David Banner has become much more than a rapper. These days he not only spits rhymes on stage, but also schools audiences about history and politics with his lecture series. The Mississippi-born Renaissance man has also acted in films like The Butler and Ride Along, along with penning catchy rap jingles for Gatorade ads via his company, A Banner Vision. Now Banner has a renewed focus on beats and rhymes, despite — and perhaps because of — his numerous feats in other fields.
"A high school kid tweeted at me recently: 'I love all the other things you've done. But what about the music? What have you gotten me through today?'" Banner tells Exclaim! about the fan who inspired him to work on his first album in over five years.
Banner recently dropped his first new music in the form of teaser EP Before the Box; full-length album The God Box will arrive this August, via A Banner Vision.
Before seeing that fan's social media laments, Banner was content to go Hollywood — just like Ludacris, Common and many of his rap peers.
"A lot of us ran off when album sales bottomed out," Banner explains. "These great rappers that fans looked up to, we basically up and left them alone. So I think it's our responsibility to step into the forefront and earn our spots back. Because we shouldn't take these kids for granted."
Banner is confident that his new LP will rekindle that neglected connection. In fact, he firmly declares that The God Box is not only his best album yet, but also "One of the best rap albums ever. Period." That self-assurance stems, in part, from his meticulous crafting of the LP — poring over each and every lyric for hours on end, and mixing many of its songs 14 times.
However, that careful crafting by no means left him overly cautious — instead, Banner took ambitious sonic risks on songs like "My Uzi," which features fellow Southern MC Big K.R.I.T. and begins with a synth- and snare-laden beat, only to suddenly transform into an orchestral composition at the song's climax.
"We went from the hood to Peter Pan land," Banner says of the song's adventurous sonic shift. "I've never heard a hip-hop song that transformed into a full orchestral composition — and not with a sample, but a composition made for this particular song. It's one of the best examples of what I'm doing on this album."
The God Box also features some of Banner's boldest rhymes yet, especially on "Black Fist." Banner says the song is inspired by "Where black people are in America right now. We're tired of the lies. We're tired of the President and the Popes and preachers talking about hope, especially when white America is having its heaven right now."
America's ongoing — and increasingly racially charged — presidential primaries have certainly fuelled some of the rage that he captured on "Black Fist." And Banner insists that that racism runs deep on both sides of the aisle. He recently caught considerable attention by tweeting about current Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's mid-'90s assertion that gang members are "super predators… We must bring them to heel."
"We've already been seduced by Bill Clinton playing the saxophone and being very charismatic," Banner says of the former president's famed appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show when he was running for office, adding that the black community later felt betrayed when Clinton signed rigid legislation that "put thousands of black males in jail. And Hillary knew what those laws encompassed. So even though she smiles today, and her family has a good rapport with black people, I'm not fooled by that."
Banner doesn't just address those issues on social media and in his lyrics — he also passionately discusses them as part of his ongoing lecture series, frequently attracting 1,000 attendees or, as he puts it, "More people than many rappers get at their regular shows." He says those lectures have served as a foundation for The God Box. "I can't expect people to believe in my socially conscious album if I don't invest time in being conscious. So I wanted to go around the country and lecture about the things I talk about on the album. So it's very political, but it's also a representation of me."
Ed's note: This article has been edited from the original version to update the upcoming album release date.

Our lifetime consists of different stages: childhood, teenage, adulthood and elderly.
As a child we learn from our environment, from our elders,we do not know anything, we cry to get small things. Our parent tries to understand our signs and our needs and tries to fulfill them, even if they do not know our baby language, but still they make an effort to figure out what we want.
When we grow a bit, we become a teenager, we are able to reason, at that point we are still under the process of learning and discovering ourselves. Our parents take their time by understanding our teenage ways so that they can help us understand life and at that time we also learn to understand them. It is the understanding between a parent and his young teenage child.
We grow up, complete our studies and get a job, most of us get married, we have learn new ways of life. At that moment our parents have grown old. They are not as strong they were earlier. At that moment, we cannot expect them to try or make any effort to understand us and adapt to our life. It is entirely up to us, as strong, responsible and able adults to understand them, just like they did all their best to understand our annoying cries, shouts and actions when we were a small baby. It is the time when we ensure that the last moments of their life passes well, without any stress or taunts that they are not able to keep up with our new lifestyles.
It is all a culture that is driven down to our own kins so that they also understand us when we will be old and prefer to live our old fashion ways rather than their new sophisticated lifestyles.
As a new born, we are understood by our parents, as a teenager we learn to understand while being understood by our parents, as an adult, we take the responsibility of understanding our elders without really having the need for them to understand us, just like they did for us when we just came to this world.


In 2003, ARC began to investigate how to design and build really clean burning stoves. To make clean burning stoves we needed equipment that would quantify the amounts of smoke and Carbon monoxide. The first emissions hood in the lab was a complicated and expensive affair that didn’t always work. Many ARC engineers and researchers have spent years improving the equipment making it more accurate, less expensive, durable, and easier to use. Without the LEMS we would essentially be blind because CO is invisible and small amounts of smoke are impossible to accurately measure by eye. Now researchers all around the world can improve stoves as they make one change after another in prototypes.
Click on the photos of the LEMS, PEMS, and IAP meter for full descriptions.
The LEMS meets all of the IWA requirements for a lab that will do testing and improvement of cookstoves. We recommend the LEMS to any serious researcher.
The portable PEMS can operate in the field in numerous households.
The IAP meter takes measurements of CO and PM2.5 near the nose and mouth of the cook to estimate personal exposure.

DONGGUAN, CHINA: With its army of salespeople and Brobdingnagian network of retailers, a comparatively new smartphone maker has exploded in quality to overtake world giants Apple and Samsung in China’s market — and currently it’s its eye on the West.
Oppo began life mercantilism optical disc players within the within the southern producing hub of Dongguan slightly over a decade agone and solely stone-broke into the French telephone market in 2011.
But with AN aggressive promoting strategy and concentration on bricks-and-mortar stores in little and medium-sized cities — instead of hoping on on-line customers — sales have soared.
Last year it had a market share of sixteen.8 % creating it the China market leader and whereas an error within the initial 3 months of 2017 place it simply behind native rival Huawei, consistent with analyst IDC, it remains well earlier than Apple and Samsung.
Globally it ranks fourth behind Samsung, Apple and Huawei.
While its rivals concentrate on the premium finish of the smartphone market in major cities and on-line, Oppo makes comparatively low cost devices — its latest model is a smaller amount than [*fr1] the value of AN iPhone seven.
Oppo additionally sells them in actual outlets. It has 200,000 retailers across China — but ten % of its purchases are created on-line — whereas retailers ar offered generous commissions in exchange for promoting the complete.
OPPO launches the Selfie Expert F3 Plus to much fanfare
“In small cities, consumers unfamiliar with smartphones need to see and touch the devices and to have salespeople there to help them,” said Yi Jun, Oppo’s international sales director.
At the company’s factory in Guangdong province, Oppo handsets are submitted to a series of durability tests including one-metre drops and temperature changes ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius.
“Technology is essential for meeting consumers’ expectations,” Yi said, pointing to Oppo’s fast-charging ability, high-definition camera lens and sleek design.
Now Oppo’s rivals are starting to follow suit.
Chinese brand Xiaomi, which lost significant market share in 2016, has been hoping on the online for sales of its top-of-the-range smartphones.
But in Gregorian calendar month it declared plans to travel back to old style mercantilism techniques with plans to open one,000 stores by 2020 within the hope of reversing its fortunes.
Which smartphone delivers the right selfie?
As competitors play catch up, analysts warn Oppo should maintain its momentum to remain on or close to the highest.
It must continue increasing its sales network and providing competitive product, aforesaid Mo Jia, AN analyst at technology analysis firm Canalys.
Oppo has additionally been boosting its sales abroad, together with rising markets in Southeast Asia wherever its share over doubled to thirteen.2 % last year — far and away the largest increase among its rivals, IDC knowledge shows.
In India, it had been the fourth-biggest player within the fourth quarter, with 8.6 % market share, behind Samsung, Xiaomi and Lenovo.
“Its success in these countries comes from frantic marketing,” said IDC analyst Tay Xiaohan, noting the use of local celebrities as “brand ambassadors” as it targets millennials.
It is also starting to back high-profile sports teams to increase brand awareness. Earlier this year it forked out more than $160 million to become an official sponsor of the Indian cricket side.
And Oppo is adapting its products to satisfy the “selfie” trend.
“We noticed the craze in Southeast Asia for group selfies and tailored our devices accordingly,” Yi said, referring to special camera features that enable users to take better self-portraits.
Next stop is the West.
“We are very interested in entering the US and European markets, we are working on it… but without a precise timeline,” Yi said.
It will be challenging.
While Huawei has managed to make a name for itself in US and European smartphone markets, it was already very present in those places as a telecom equipment manufacturer, said Annette Zimmermann, an analyst with technology research company Gartner.
And Oppo’s direct sales strategy might not be as successful in markets dominated by mobile network operators that provide handsets with their contracts.

In December 2015, Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 which, in part, suspended the 2.3% Medical Device Excise Tax for the 2016 and 2017 tax years. Unless the tax gets permanently repealed, it is set to go back into effect starting January 1, 2018.
The tax went into effect January 1, 2013 as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – more commonly referred to as Obamacare – and many estimated it would raise roughly $30 billion over a 10-year period to help offset the cost of the Affordable Care Act. The tax is levied against the manufacturers or importers of medical devices. It is based on the sales price of the device being sold and is due quarterly. A medical device is defined as any product that is used in the diagnosis of a disease or intended to affect the structure or function of the human body, with certain exemptions provided. Many speculate that the future of the tax depends largely on who is the next president.
Other business-related provisions included in the PATH Act include a permanent expansion of the $500,000 Section 179 limit. Thus, business owners who purchase fixed assets or qualifying software can fully expense the cost of the equipment up to the $500,000 limitation or net income in the current year instead of depreciating it over the life of the asset. Furthermore, bonus depreciation will remain at 50% until December 31, 2017. After that, it will be reduced to 40% for the 2018 tax year before finally being reduced to 30% for the 2019 tax year. Similar to Section 179, bonus depreciation lets a business owner deduct a portion of the purchase price of fixed assets as an expense in the current year instead of depreciating the full cost of the asset over its tax life. The differences between the two methods of accelerated depreciation above is that bonus depreciation is not subject to income or dollar limitations but can only be taken on new assets. Under Section 179, a business can expense used fixed assets as long as the asset is new to the business. Lastly, under the PATH Act, the research and development credit which has expired and been renewed 16 times has finally been made permanent.

MU partners with Jefferson College creating new transfer program for vet techs
The 2 colleges have teamed up to tackle the growing shortage of veterinary technicians by establishing a new 2+2 agreement.
The University of Missouri (MU) recently joined forces with Jefferson College in Hillsboro, Missouri to help meet the growing demand for veterinary technicians within the United States, and to foster a new transfer agreement for veterinary technology students.
According to a MU release, the ‘2+2’ agreement enables undergraduate students who earn a 2-year associate’s degree in veterinary technology at Jefferson College to be automatically admitted as juniors to MU, ergo granting students the ability to pursue the newly created veterinary technology bachelor’s degree at MU.
“Demand for veterinary technicians has grown in recent years, and we are proud to provide new educational opportunities that can keep vet techs engaged and remaining in the profession long term,” said Cindy Cravens, director of the Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology (BSVT) program at MU, in the release. “Our graduates will serve Missourians in both rural and urban parts of the state, helping fill the unmet needs in our state’s workforce.”
The agreement between the 2 universities was officially signed in September of 2021, allowing veterinary technology students that complete the 2-year associate degree at Jefferson College this spring to enroll in the MU class as juniors in the fall of 2022. Additionally, the agreement also extends to graduates of Jefferson College’s 2-year veterinary technology program dating back to 1978 which is the year the college earned its American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation.
“As our population continues to grow, there has been an increased demand for food production, and therefore a greater need for more veterinarian technicians to help take care of farm animals,” said Christopher DeGeare, vice president of instruction at Jefferson College, in the release.
“Also, there has been an increase in the adoption of companion animals since the COVID-19 pandemic began, resulting in more veterinarian appointments. So, this partnership will help meet the growing demand for veterinarian technicians,” continued DeGeare.

Gulyás, J. (2020). Az „izgalmas és titokzatos példa”: A Lúdas Matyi-mesetípus szóbeli és írásbeli hagyományozódása. Studia Litteraria, 59(3–4), 130–159. Elérés forrás https://ojs.lib.unideb.hu/studia/article/view/8576
Lúdas Matyi (‘Matthew, the Goose Keeper, an original Hungarian tale’), an epic poem written by Mihály Fazekas in 1804 (published in 1815 and 1817 in Vienna), is the earliest known Hungarian variant of the tale type ATU 1538 (The Revenge of the Cheated Man). The poem has been interpreted as a pioneer work that introduced a peasant hero as well as the genre of the (despised) tale into Hungarian literature. Yet, hardly any variants of this tale type have been recorded from Hungarian oral tradition in the past two centuries. The author investigates this seeming contradiction, and analysing the eight oral variants as well as popular literacy argues that it was precisely the immense (written and theatrical) popularity of the plot that probably hindered the survival of an independent oral tradition of this tale.

Because nothing says summer like an old-fashioned yard/tag/stoop/rummage sale, a group of students and alumni from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design (GSD) has launched an online variation of the seasonal cash-raising enterprise in support of anti-racist causes. All net proceeds generated from the sale of creative works during the month-long inaugural Design Yard Sale will, per a press release, go toward “organizations engaged in dismantling the racism that has been designed into the built environment in the United States and abroad.” These beneficiaries include the Bail Project and nonprofit architecture and design justice practice Colloqate Design.
As for what exactly is up for grabs, the Design Yard Sale’s wide range of offerings include a number of student-designed works—some were created specifically for the sale and others were produced at Harvard GSD’s studios during the course of the academic year—including original prints, drawings, photography, sculptures, and furniture, as well as books, clothing, and other items. In addition to student-produced works, a number of established designers, artists and, architects—Billie Tsien, Jeanne Gang, Snarkitecture, Toshiko Mori, Oana Stanescu, Rachel Israela, and Jerome Byron to name just a few—have donated sale items as well.
Judging on early sales, rare and signed books are selling particularly fast.
In addition to fixed-price items, a number of rare and special Design Yard Sale offerings will be also available via online auction. These items include a Virgil Abloh x IKEA MARKERAD Chair that will be “illustrated on and signed by Virgil Abloh with the purchaser’s name;” an out-of-print, signed copy of African Modernism by Iwan Baan; an original painting by Sam Jacob; and a signed Gravitational Cutting Mat by Benjamin Edgar. Keep an eye out for bidding information on those items and more as new lots are announced every Friday through the end of the month.
“Design and architecture are what we’re good at,” said Yaxuan Liu, a third-year student at the Harvard GSD and one of the event’s organizers, in a statement. “But right now we need to get resources into the hands of activists and organizers on the front lines of the movement. Design Yard Sale lets us use our skills to make that happen.”
The student and alumni organizers, which include Liu alongside Tessa Crespo, Grace Chee, Edward Han, and Izzy Kornblatt, will continue to accept relevant donations through mid-July. The organizers are also accepting donations in the form of manual labor to help with (social distanced) shipping and logistics in the Cambridge, Massachusetts, area.

Toussaint L’Ouverture in An Historical Account of the Black Empire of Hayti
The close of the eighteenth century, a period marked by the grandest operations and the most gigantic projects, presented to the world a new and organized empire, where it was not only supposed to be impossible to exist, but, where even its existence was denied, although it was known by those connected with that quarter of the globe to have taken place, and under the most flourishing auspices. The beneficent and able black, Toussaint L'Ouverture, devoid of the extraneous policy of the governors of ancient states, no sooner found himself at ease from the complicated warfare with which, from the first moment of his government he had been surrounded, than he evinced equal talents for the arts of peace, with those which he had invariably displayed in the field; and that mercy which had ever accompanied him in victory, now transfused itself in a mild and humane policy in the legislature. His first care was to establish, on a firm foundation, the ordinances of religion, according to the existing constitutions of society, to watch over the morals, and excite the industry of those who had committed themselves to his charge.
The effects of these exertions were quickly evident throughout his dominion. Such was the progress of agriculture from this period, that the succeeding crop produced (notwithstanding the various impediments, in addition to the ravages of near a ten years war) full one third of the quantity of sugar and coffee, which had ever been produced at its most prosperous period. The increase of population was such, as to astonish the planters resident in the mother country who could not conceive the possibility of preventing that falling off, in the numbers of the negroes, which formed their absolute necessity for supplying them by the by slave trade. Health, became prevalent throughout the country, with its attendant, cheerfulness, that exhilarator of labor.
Having introduced in a prominent fashion the surprising character, to whose talents and energies, the inhabitants of this regenerated island were indebted for their then existing advantages, it becomes necessary to present the reader with a view of the circumstances which accompanied a life so important in the history of St. Domingo.
TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE was born a slave in the year 1745, on the estate of the Count de Noe, at a small distance from Cape François, in the northern province of St. Domingo, a spot since remarkable as the very source of revolution, and site of a camp, (that Breda,) from whence its native general has issued mandates more powerful than those of any monarch on the earth.
While tending his master's flocks, the genius of Toussaint began to expand itself, by an attention towards objects beyond the reach of his comprehension; and without any other opportunity than was equally possessed by those around him, who remained nearly in impenetrable ignorance, he learnt to read, write, and use figures. Encouraged by the progress he rapidly made in these arts, and fired with the prospect of higher attainments, he employed himself assiduously in the further cultivation of his talents. His acquirements, as is oftentimes the case, under such circumstances, excited the admiration of his fellow slaves, and fortunately attracted the attention of the attorney, or manager of the estate, M. Bayou de Libertas. This gentleman, with a discrimination honorable to his judgment, withdrew Toussaint from the labor of the fields, to his own house, and began the amelioration of his fortune, by appointing him his postilion, an enviable situation among slaves, for its profit, and comparative respectability.
This instance of patronage by M. Bayou, impressed itself strongly on the susceptible mind of Toussaint. True genius and elevated sentiments are inseparable; the recollection of the most trivial action, kindly bestowed in obscurity, or under the pressure of adverse circumstances, warms the heart of sensibility, even in the hour of popular favor, more than the proudest honors. This truth was exemplified by the subsequent gratitude of Toussaint towards his master. He continued to deserve and receive promotion, progressively, to offices of considerable confidence.
Among other traits fondly preserved in St. Domingo of the conduct of Toussaint during the early period of his life, are his remarkable benevolence towards the brute creation, and an unconquerable patience. Of the former, many instance related which evince a mind endowed with every good quality. He knew how to avail himself so well of the sagacity of the horse, as to perform wonders with that animal; without those cruel methods used to extort from them the docility exhibited in Europe; he was frequently seen musing amongst the different cattle, seemingly holding a species of dumb converse, which they evidently understood, and produced in them undoubted marks of attention. They knew and manifested their acquaintance, whenever he appeared; and he has been frequently seen attending with the anxiety of a nurse any accident which had befallen them; the only instance in which he could be roused to irritation, was when a slave had revenged the punishment he received from his owner upon his harmless and unoffending cattle. Proverbial became his patience, insomuch that it was a favorite amusement of the young and inconsiderate upon the same estate, to endeavor to provoke him by wanton tricks and affected malignity. But so perfectly he had regulated his temper, that he constantly answered with a meek smile, and accounted for their conduct by such means, as would render it strictly pardonable. To the law of self-preservation, or the misfortune of not knowing the delight of philanthropy, he would attribute an act of brutal selfishness; while he imputed to a momentary misapprehension an inclination to rude and malicious controversy. Thus was his passive disposition never in the smallest degree affected, being ready on all occasions to conciliate and to bear, in circumstances whether frivolous or of the, highest importance.
At the age of twenty-five Toussaint attached himself to a female of similar character to his own, and their union cemented by marriage, which does not appear to have been violated, conferred respectability on their offspring. Still he continued a slave; nor did the goodness of M. Bayou, although it extended to render him as happy as the state of servitude would admit, ever contemplate the manumission of one who was to become a benefactor to him and his family. Such is the effect of ancient prejudice, in obscuring, the highest excellence of our nature; he who would perform godlike actions without hesitation, from any other cause, shrinks from a breach of etiquette, or a violation of custom! . . .
Continuing on the estate on which he was born, when the deliberations preceding the actual rebellion of the slaves were taking place upon the plantation of Noe the opinion of him who was always regarded with esteem and admiration was solicited. His sanction was of importance, as he had a number of slaves under his command, and a general influence over his fellow negroes. Among the leaders of this terrible revolt were several of his friends, who he had deemed worthy to make his associates for mutual intelligence; yet, from whatever cause is not ascertained, he forbore in the first instance to join in the contest of liberty. It is probable that his manly heart revolted from cruelties attendant on the first burst of revenge in slaves about to retaliate their wrongs and sufferings on their owners. He saw that the innocent would suffer with the guilty; and that the effects of revolution regarded future, more than present justice. When the cloud charged with electric fluid becomes too ponderous, it selects not the brooding murderer on the barren heath, but bursts, perhaps, indiscriminately, in wasteful vengeance, o'er innocent flocks reposing in verdant fields.
There were ties which connected Toussaint more strongly than the consideration of temporary circumstances. These were gratitude for the benefits received from his master, and, generosity to those who were about to fall,—not merely beneath the stroke of the assassin, for that relief from their sufferings was not to be allowed to all, but likewise the change of situations of luxury and splendor, to an exile of danger, contempt, and poverty, with all the miseries such a reverse can accumulate.
Toussaint prepared for the emigration of M. Bayou de Libertas, as if he had only removed for his pleasure, to the American continent. He found means to embark produce that should form a useful provision for the future; procured his escape with his family, and contrived every plan for his convenience: nor did his care end here, for after M. Bayou's establishment in safety at Baltimore, in Maryland, he availed himself of every opportunity to supply any conceived deficiency, and, as he rose in circumstances, to render those of his protégés more qualified to his situation, and equal to that warm remembrance of the services he owed him, which would never expire.
Having provided for the safety of his master in the first instance, Toussaint no longer resisted the temptations to join the army of his country, which had (at this period) assumed a regular form. He attached himself to the corps under the command of a courageous black chief, named Biassou, and was appointed next in command to him. Though possessed of striking abilities the disposition of this general rendered him unfit for the situation which he held; his cruelty caused him to be deprived of a power which he abused. No one was found equally calculated,to supply his place, with the new officer, Toussaint; therefore, quitting for ever a subordinate situation, he was appointed to the command of a division.
If during this early period of his life, the black general had shone conspicuously, through every disadvantage, with the brightest talents and the milder virtues, he now rose superior to all around him, with the qualities and rank of an exalted chief. Every part of his conduct was marked by judgment and benevolence. By the blacks, who had raised him to the dignity he enjoyed, he was beloved with enthusiasm; and, by the public characters of other nations, with whom he had occasion to communicate, he was regarded with every mark of respect and esteem. General Laveaux called him "the negro, the Spartacus, foretold by Raynal, whose destiny it was to avenge the wrongs committed on his race": and the Spanish Marquis d'Hermona declared, in the hyperbole of admiration, that "if the Supreme had descended on earth, he could not inhabit a heart more apparently good, than that of Toussaint L'Ouverture."
His powers of invention in the art of war, and domestic government, the wonder of those who surrounded, or opposed him, had not previously an opportunity for exhibition as at the period to which we have arrived in this history. Embarrassed by a variety of contending factions among the blacks, and by enemies of different nations and characters, he was too much occupied in evading the blows constantly meditated in different quarters, to find leisure for the display of that wisdom and magnanimity which he so eminently exercised. Nevertheless a variety of incidents are recorded in the fleeting memorials of the day to corroborate the excellence of his character, and still more are impressed on the memory of all who have visited the scene of his government. Notwithstanding the absoluteness of military jurisdiction, which existed with extra power, no punishment ever took place without the anxious endeavors of the General-in-Chief to avoid it, exerted in every way that could be devised. No object was too mean for his remonstrance, or advice; nor any crime too great to be subjected to the rules he had prescribed to himself.

Taylor Swift Try’s Her Hand at ‘Beatboxing’ [VIDEO][POLL]
The most eclectic night in music is coming up this Sunday night. It's the 54th Annual Grammy Awards and one of my favorites will be performing: Ms Taylor Swift. I ran into some fun though that she had with host LL Cool J and thought if you were a fan you might want to see it as well plus the actual Grammy promo spots that I enjoyed as well. Nicely done but can she beatbox?
Click here is the actual "behind the scenes" video of Taylor beatboxing with LL Cool J.
Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion primarily involving the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, and the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beatboxing today is connected with hip-hop culture, being one of "the elements", although it is not limited to hip-hop music. The term "beatboxing" is sometimes used to refer to vocal percussion in general.
Here are the actual Grammy promo spots.

An irritable, inattentive, and disruptive child: Is it ADHD or bipolar disorder? - Clinical Psychiatry News
Differentiating the irritable, oppositional child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from the child with bipolar disorder (BD) often is difficult. To make matters more complicated, 50% to 70% of patients with BD have comorbid ADHD. Accordingly, clinicians are often faced with the moody, irritable, disruptive child whose parents want to know if he (she) is “bipolar” to try to deal with oppositional and mood behaviors.
In this article, we present an approach that will help you distinguish these 2 disorders from each other.

Luis Salom overtook championship rival Alex Rins at the very last corner to win a frantic Malaysian Moto3 Grand Prix at Sepang. The title rivals were part of a multiple-rider scrap for the victory with the number of lead changes well into double figures but Salom would be responsible for the decisive change by barging past Rins at the final hairpin.
After a flurry of early action, eight riders edged away from the rest of the field with Salom and Rins joined by fellow championship contender Maverick Vinales as well as the second Estrella Galicia KTM of Alex Marquez and Jonas Folger’s Aspar Kalex-KTM. FTR-Honda riders Alexis Masbou and Jack Miller were punching above their weight in the leading group but the biggest shock was the sight of Miguel Oliveira at the sharp end. The Mahindra rider had started from the second row but an appalling start dropped him to all the way to the back by turn one. By the end of lap one though, he had risen to thirteenth and within another three laps he was fifth and pressuring the KTMs.
Rins held the lead at half distance from Marquez, Salom and Oliveira but alarm bells were starting to ring for Maverick Vinales who was too busy fending off Miller and Masbou to stick with the front quarter, slipping a second behind. His saving grace would come in the form of the riders ahead as Marquez and Salom took every available opportunity to dive past Rins, slowing the pack up and bringing Maverick back into play.
Despite the overwhelming pressure, Rins led across the line to start the penultimate lap but Salom and Vinales breezed past him on the run to turn one with Oliveira following through at turn four. The Portuguese relegated Vinales to third in the same move and a move by Rins into turn nine left the Team Calvo rider out of the podium places as quickly as he’d got into them.
As the final lap began, Rins used the slipstream to power past Salom but that would leave him ahead coming onto the back straight for the last time and with his KTM punching a hole in the air, Alex was powerless to stop Salom storming past into the last corner, giving the no.39 victory by 0.069s and a fourteen point championship lead heading to Australia. Oliveira crossed the line right behind to give Mahindra their first podium finish in Grand Prix racing, an astonishing result given his calamitous start.
A disastrous final lap saw Vinales lose two places to Marquez and Miller but he would at least salvage fifth on the run to the finish line, pipping Miller by two hundredths of a second. Masbou took a fine seventh ahead of Folger while Romano Fenati and Philipp Oettl completing the top ten.
Britain’s John McPhee missed out on a points finish by half a second in seventeenth but his loss was Ana Carrasco’s gain as the Spanish rookie became the first female rider to score points in Moto3 and just the fifth in Grand Prix history.

L.A. Loves a Loophole
There's no getting around it...
The market speaks but we don't listen.
Will someone please tell me: Where is the proof that the electric utility industry needs more investment in electric transmission? Is it not possible that we already have enough miles of high-voltage line?
I can scarcely turn around but see a new conference or workshop on how to encourage the electric industry to invest more in transmission infrastructure. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) leads that charge, though as a regulator it ought to stay neutral.
Yet most still agree that anyone who would want to invest in transmission must be crazy, since after the line is built, a merchant can come along and build a power plant at a fraction of the cost and relieve the congestion that made the new line worthwhile.
All this has encouraged some to favor physical flowgates instead of financial rights to manage grid congestion. They criticize a bid-based, security-constrained, PJM-style market for producing locational marginal prices (LMP) at the nodal level because, while LMP tells merchant generators exactly where to build new power plants, it offers no help in figuring out where to add new grid capacity.
(The problem lies with the mathematics. Using the equations used to calculate LMP, it turns out that any number of different combinations and patterns of physical grid constraints can operate to produce the same set of LMPs. You have multiple simultaneous equations for which the variables cannot be solved. You can never know for sure where lies the transmission constraint that is absolutely responsible for causing a price spike at some weird location.)
So the industry continues to attack FERC's standard market design, arguing that because it gives us prices that fail to encourage the new grid investment that we so obviously need, the prices must be flawed-along with the model.
I remember a time, not long ago, when some rogue scientists asked for room on an orbiting satellite to study ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere above the poles. When the data came back the experts rejected it out of hand. The numbers could not possibly be true, they said. Otherwise, we would face a global catastrophe.
I've heard also of other examples of truths debunked: How in the 1920s it was calculated that growth in telephone use eventually would force our entire population to work as switch operators to clear the traffic. Or how 19th century London would end up putting millions to work at the end of a shovel, to clear the manure from streets increasingly jammed with horses and carriages.
These predictions all came true. But they were also dead wrong.
FERC'S MISTAKE LIES IN THINKING THAT ELECTRIC RESTRUCTURING STARTS AND ENDS WITH TRANSMISSION REFORM.
That is a red herring-a lesson that FERC thinks it learned from natural gas-when, in fact, it is price discovery that really matters.
While FERC cites the differences between gas and electricity (contrasts in jurisdiction, vertical integration, storage capability, etc.) as why it can't manage to duplicate its gas industry success on the electric side, the irony is that the gas success

RENTERS will no longer have to pay hundreds of pounds to change the name of their flatmate on their tenancy bill, thanks to a new law introduced in Parliament today.
Rip-off renting fees are a step closer to being banned today as ministers brought forward legislation to finally ban ridiculous fees charged by landlords and agencies.
The Tenant Fees Bill will save Brits £240 million a year by scrapping the fees, for basic administration, references and credit checks.
And it will cap deposits at six weeks rent.
Landlords and agencies will only be able to charge you up to £50 to change the name on an agreement, and will also limit the amount you have to pay for a holding deposit to a week's rent.
You will only be allowed to be charged for a change or early cancellation of your tenancy fee, utility bills and council tax, or for added extras like losing a key.
As The Sun revealed last month, MPs demanded that ministers tweak the legislation so that landlords were unable to hike their rents to make up for it.
Today it was confirmed that the Government will only be able to charge extra rent if it's agreed with the tenant beforehand, to prevent them from inflating their first month's rent to get around the ban.
The Bill will also:
- Fine landlords and agents who charge fees - up to £5,000 for the first offence
- Allow tenants who do get charged fees to get them back
- Prevent landlords from booting out tenants under Section 21 notices until they have paid back any unlawful fees
- Plough money raised from fines to local councils to help enforce the new rules
Housing Secretary Rt Hon James Brokenshire MP said today: "This government is determined to build a housing market fit for the future. Tenants across the country should not be stung by unexpected costs.
"That’s why we’re delivering our promise to ban letting fees, alongside other measures to make renting fairer and more transparent."
But the Bill is not set to become law for at least another year, meaning thousands of renters will have to pay an extra £233 on average in the meantime.
And charities today raised concerns that loopholes in the legislation could still be slapped on through the back door.
Dan Wilson Craw, Director of Generation Rent, said today: “There is a risk that not all tenants will be protected thanks to an exemption that could let some landlords continue to charge fees on spurious grounds and will be hard to police properly. This potential loophole should be taken out of the legislation.
“And setting the cap on deposits at six weeks’ rent leaves in place a big barrier to moving home. The government needs to look at how to reduce the burden of this, for example by allowing the transfer of deposits between tenancies.”
MOST READ IN POLITICS
Britain's chronic housing shortage is the second most important issue to the public, new studies have said.
Theresa May has vowed to fix Britain's "broken" housing market, vowing more new homes and ripping up planning rules which slow building down.
She says she wants to build "more homes more quickly" and promised to ease the misery of millions of private renters too.
Earlier this month she insisted that renters must be treated like "human beings" and said she would protect them from "cowboy agents".

I am someone who was a jack of all...master of none till 17 years of age. Then one day while waiting for my table tennis turn in the college gymkhana, my seniors insulted me saying that, "Heyy, you belong to the juniors table!! YOU PLAY OVER THERE!! (However, I had already become a champ of juniors table and considered myself promoted on the senior one). I denied to go there and he further insulted me did not let me play.
THEN I decided, ''I will teach these guys a lesson''. The very next month I joined the nearby Table Tennis club, used to practice on an average 8 hours a day and took my game from beginner to pro in just 3 months.
Now 6 months later after the previous insult incidence, I met this ex-senior in the gymkhana. This guy got defeated by me 21-6 and all time he was open mouthed and then later appreciated for the transforming change in my game.
Since then, there was never looking back. I starting competing in district, state, club and inter college tournaments and started acing in them.
Initially, being a jack of all sports, I decided I should pursue my competency in Table Tennis. It has been 8 years attached with this lovely and addictive sport and will be the same throughout my life
After my B.E, I wanted to pursue my career in sports and that's when I found Decathlon and eventually became the sport leader for Table Tennis. Since, 3 years I am helping Decathlon making Table Tennis accessible to the Mumbai users.
THAT'S MY SHORT, SWEET AND TINY STORY!! Hopefully a book to be written ahead in the next few years :D

Nigerian banks to resume operations as fuel deadlock ends
from AUGUSTINE OSAYANDE in Abuja, Nigeria
ABUJA, (CAJ News) – SOME Nigerian banks that have suspended operations because of crippling fuel shortages will resume operations after workers in the fuel sector suspended their strike.
It is expected the suspension of the industrial action as announced on Monday would improve the supply o fuel.
Prior to the announcement, some banks had halted operations but checks by CAJ News established the banks would resume operations on Tuesday.
