Recording music is a tricky business. It's often not enough to simply place a microphone in front of a singer or musician and expect that what's recorded is going to sound amazing. Similarly when mixing the final track, without some reverb to give the recording some "space" it is going to sound like every instrument is inches from the listener's ear. Compression, reverb, equalizers and vocal processers are all studio tools that will enhance your recordings and help give them a more professional sound. Whether you are looking for the Abbey Road sound of Chandler Limited Microphone Preamps or Universal Audio Compressors we have what you are looking for.

Golden Guitar awards season is frantically approaching.
And this means we are currently getting a flood of new releases from both established and exciting new talent, as the awards entry deadline approaches.
Here is our list of terrific recently released tracks and music videos from the stars of Australian and New Zealand country.
1. The Wolfe Brothers – ‘Hey Brother’
Australia’s biggest Country/Rock band say ‘Hey Brother’ is the “most important song” they have released to date. It’s the latest single from the four-time Golden Guitar winning album Country Heart.
“It is a song directly inspired by those who’ve served our country. Through touring Australia in 2015 as part of the “Spirit Of The Anzacs” tour [with Lee Kernaghan] we got to meet so many incredible veterans and hear their stories,” say The Wolfe Brothers (pictured).
“The veteran space is such a complex and sensitive one and it’s been a honour to learn more about it through the journey of this song. It is our hope ‘Hey Brother’ will be a discussion starter, so that the wider civilian community gain a better understanding of our veterans, as well as being a song of survival, mateship, hope and healing.”
2. Jetty Road – ‘Bumps and Bruises’
This is the latest single from Jetty Road’s sixth album, Because We Can, which is released on September 20.
“We quickly realised that this was an anthem for the everyday person. The ups and downs, the good and bad decisions, the baggage we carry with us throughout our lives, the blood, sweat and tears, the triumphs and the heartaches,” says Jetty Road.
“These marks on your body and the lines on your face, are a map of where you’ve been,” they conclude.
“Don’t erase them. Embrace them. You don’t have to be perfect to shine in this world.”
3. Abby Christo – ‘Body Language’
‘Body Language’ is the follow-up to Abby Christo’s debut single ‘Kiss Me Into Monday,’ which has already scored over 1 million audio streams.
“Body Language is about reflecting on a previous relationship and wishing you’d seen the signs of it failing, before it gets to the brutal breakup. I’m a very open book and this shows in my song-writing. I usually struggle to get into my creative headspace so soon, but it all felt so real, so this was almost my way of dealing with everything,” says Christo.
“It wasn’t a bitter breakup, but I’d best describe ‘Body Language’ as sweet but frustrating. It sums up the relationship.”
4. Josh Setterfield – ‘The Way God Made Me’
Setterfield calls this new single a “feelsy” song about depression.
“They say Country Music is all about the truth. So I wrote the truth,” he says.
“’The Way God Made Me’ is about my struggle with depression and not knowing how to get out or explain it to people when they ask. I hit rock bottom one day and thought it was time to address it.”
5. Rachael Fahim – ‘Homewrecker’
Fahim is the face of Spotify’s Fresh Country playlist this week, with her new track ‘Homewrecker.’
It’s the new focus track from her EP Iconic that was released last Friday. The EP also features the tracks ‘Crush,’ ‘Brake Lights’ and ‘What I Don’t Know’ which have all done big consumption numbers on streaming services.
6. Stephanie Penrose – ‘Body Talk’
New local artist Stephanie Penrose has released a raw and honest song about giving in to forbidden desire.
“There’s so many lines that we have crossed, when we’re ‘fraid to say it, our bodies talk,” she sings.
7. Jack McDougall – ‘Let Me Out’
Like Setterfield, Jack McDougall touches on his mental health struggles with his debut single.
Not long after he left school, McDougall was working three jobs, had very little social life and was struggling to cope with life. He says that writing this song with co-writer Peta Cherae helped him work through his issues and feel better again.
He hopes this song will encourage others to open up to friends when they are feeling down.
8. Jody Direen – ‘All Nighter’
Last but not least, Jody Direen is in love and she shares her joy in this super-catchy new song and video.
‘All Nighter’ was written by fellow Kiwi Kaylee Bell – singer of the recent hit single ‘Keith.’
Direen is currently recording her fourth album which will be released next year.

Who doesn’t need a little glitz and glamour to brighten up their lives? Spruce up a darkened dorm room or a plain corner in your apartment with these do-it-yourself marquee lights. They’ll brighten up even the most boring decor, and they only take an hour to make. For under $20, you can see your name (or just your initial) in lights!
Remove the cardboard stuffing from inside.
Unscrew the number of plastic lightbulbs that you want to use from the string and place them along the front of the cardboard letter to determine the spacing that you want.
Remove the plastic bulbs from the letter and use the X-ACTO knife to cut an "X" shape inside of each circle.
Push in the X-shaped cuts inside the circles lightly with your finger, then stick a plastic lightbulb through each hole, making sure it fits.
Paint the cardboard letter with a color of your choosing. Use two coats for optimal cardboard coverage.
Once the paint has fully dried, push the plastic lightbulbs through the circles again.
Take the string lights and carefully screw the bulbs back onto the lights. Make sure to carefully arrange the string at the back of the cardboard letter as you do this so that it lies flat and does not stick out.
Make as many letters as you'd like to spell out a word, or simply create your initial.
Plug in the string and display!

A Snow White remake promoted at the Cannes Film Festival has come under fire in the US for appearing to “fat shame” the animated character.
Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs, a South Korean-produced spoof, features a short dumpy girl looking longingly at the slender Snow White.
“What if Snow White was no longer beautiful and the 7 Dwarfs not so short?” the tagline asks.
In the trailer, posted on YouTube, the dwarfs are shown hiding in Snow White's cottage, secretly watching her undress. As they watch her, the dwarfs are visibly excited as the slender Snow White disrobes - but when she takes off her red shoes, the previously skinny woman is suddenly fatter. The dwarfs react in horror.
Tess Holliday, a plus-size model known for her '#effyourbeautystandards' campaign on social media, tweeted her disproval.
"How did this get approved by an entire marketing team? Why is it okay to tell young kids being fat = ugly?" she wrote, tagging Chloe Grace Moretz at the end, who voices Snow White.
Moretz issued an apology on Wednesday evening.
The 20-year-old actress said she had talked to producers for the film about the marketing choices, AP reported.
One commentator branded the poster “awful”, while another person said it should deter viewers from going to see the film. "This is some major BS—the majority of American women who are that size shouldn't take their kids or buy anything related to that project," the woman tweeted.
The website for Locus films suggests the film has a message of empowerment, explaining that the character is on a journey to find her lost father and learns “not only to accept herself, but to celebrate who she is, inside and out.”
The character, according to producers, learns: “to let the beauty within ... shine brighter than anyone else in the land.”
The film is due to be released next year.

I wanted to write very briefly about the workshop I took 3 weeks ago – “Self Expression” from the “Living from truth” series. This is my first workshop – out of 8 different topics running through 2 years period of time. People join in whenever they can, so there is always somebody new and somebody who’s been doing it for a while.
Yesterday somebody asked me what was my biggest gain. I fell into the very clear, inspired place and I started talking from that place …I have to explain, I’m normally shy, I’m an introvert and I do think before I speak. So I speak from my head, from my mind. Not from my heart. Even though I’m honest and open, it’s the result of the work of the mind. I’m so tired of it. I’m just so happy when I can stop doing it, even for a little while. This is why it’s important to understand that speaking from inspiration, without thinking first what I want to say is a breakthrough to me.
My answer was something within these lines: My biggest win is the realization that I have a very strong core, a center within me. A place of pease, clarity and strength. A place of deep wisdom and knowledge. At any moment I have the ability to be centred, to feel this strength; and to be open and connected to something bigger than me – connected with the source, the Universe, God. Open to my creativity, open to perfection, open to life itself. This is always available to me – at any moment, at any circumstances. The beauty of the Warrior Sage process is that this knowledge doesn’t come from hte teacher. This is true beacuse I said so. It comes from you. It comes from your heart. You know that it is true. It is your deepest truth. It’s different for everybody. Somebody from the same workshop could find something totally different from it. For example, for somebody else their deepest win could be how to deal with and express anger. And their answer will also come from thier heart – it’s their truth.
My answers come beacause this is what is so importatnt for me. I grew up withoug feeling this center, this strength. I didn’t even know I had it. I wanted to please people, i wanted to be accepted, I wanted to have a boyfriend – so I’d do things that I thought were expected fm me. I was envious of some of my firned who even as kids, and even wors, teenagers, had this strong core, had their own values – something you coulnd’t just shake. And no boyfriends, or cliques wee able to change it. I wasn’t like that, I’d behave differently with different people, I’d akt and speak differnetly. I wasnt’ true to myself, and, while being mostly honest, I wasn’t honest to myself. I didn’t really know what my values were. Sure, there were lots of things that I was taught, and taught well. But what was coming form me, from my heart? I didn’t know how to conenct with my heart then.
I was in my head, in my brain. I was always very logical, I loved math, my values, my goals, my ideas came from my head. I always had goal, I had strong will and I was going after what I wanted. I was happy. I’m not saying I wasn’t. I didn’t even know that there were other ways to live. I didn’t believe in myslef. Here, I said it. I never believed that I was creative, or that I was capable of insight, or that I was beutiful. I knew I was smart, I knew I was easygoing, I knew I was sexy cause boys wanted to be with me – but I wasn’t confident and I wasn’t being me. I didn’t know who I was. I am jsut starting to find it out.

This invention relates generally to washing machines, and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for braking washer basket and heating wash liquid in washing machines.
Washing machines typically include a cabinet that houses an outer tub for containing wash and rinse water, a perforated clothes basket within the tub, and an agitator within the basket. A drive and motor assembly is mounted underneath the stationary outer tub to rotate the clothes basket and the agitator relative to one another, and a pump assembly pumps water from the tub to a drain to execute a wash cycle. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,029,298.
Traditionally, rinse portions of wash cycles include a deep-fill process wherein articles in the clothes basket are completely submerged in water and the water is agitated. As such, a large amount of water mixes with detergent remaining in the clothes after they are washed. While the concentration of detergent in the water is relatively small, a large amount of detergent can be removed from the clothes due to the large amount of water involved. It has become increasingly desirable, however, to reduce water consumption in washing operations.
At least some types of washing machines have reduced water consumption in rinsing operation by using re-circulating rinse water flow. In this type of system, rinse water is collected in a bottom of the tub and pumped back to spray nozzles located above the basket. The rinse water is re-circulated for a predetermined length of time before being discharged to drain. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,722. While such systems are effective to reduce water consumption, they increase costs of the machine by employing valves, pumps, conduits etc. that result in additional material and assembly costs.
In one aspect, a washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a tub having an outer wall with a cavity therein, a basket rotatably mounted within the tub and rotatable around a vertical axis, and a multi speed drive system coupled to the basket. The drive system is configured to rotate the basket at a plurality of speeds. The washing machine also includes a brake system coupled to the basket. The brake system is configured to brake the rotation of the basket. The washing machine further includes at least one resistive heater element mounted in the cavity of the tub; and an inverter coupled to the drive system, the brake system, and the at least one resistive heater element.
In another aspect, a method of operating a washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a rotatable basket disposed in a wash tub, a resistive heater disposed in a cavity within an outer wall of the wash tub, a motor operatively coupled to the basket and an inverter operatively coupled to the motor and the resistive heater. The method includes loading clothes into the basket, adding a predetermined amount of wash liquid to the wash tub, heating the wash liquid at least partially with the resistive heater, washing the clothes for a predetermined time, draining the wash liquid from the wash tub, rotating the basket to remove residual wash liquid from the clothes in the basket, and braking the rotating basket by transferring energy from the motor through the inverter to the resistive heater.
In another aspect, a washing machine is provided that includes a tub with an outer wall having a cavity therein, a basket rotatably mounted within the tub and rotatable around a vertical axis, and a multi speed drive system coupled to the basket. The drive system is configured to rotate the basket at a plurality of speeds. The washing machine also includes a brake system coupled to the basket. The brake system configured to brake the rotation of the basket. The washing machine further includes at least one resistive heater element mounted in the cavity of the tub outer wall, an inverter coupled to the drive system, the brake system, and the at least one resistive heater element, and a controller operatively coupled to the drive system, the brake system, and the inverter. The controller is configured to operate the drive system and the brake system during a wash cycle to rotate the basket and brake the rotation of the basket.
A vertical axis clothes washer that includes a resistive type booster heater located in a cavity of the wash tub is described below in detail. In special cycles with specific types of fabric that are sensitive to different temperature change, the washing machine will fill with cold water and then be heated by the resistive heater to the desired temperature in sequential small steps and continue to hold during the wash cycle. The resistive heater and a temperature sensor are located at the lowest point of the outer tub of the washing machine. Also, the resistive heater can be used in conjunction with an inverter as part of the braking resistor for energy dissipation during braking of the wash basket.
Referring to the drawings,
Tub 64 includes a bottom wall 66 and a sidewall 68, and a basket 70 is rotatably mounted within wash tub 64. A pump assembly 72 is located beneath tub 64 and basket 70 for gravity assisted flow when draining tub 64. Pump assembly 72 includes a pump 74 and a motor 76. A pump inlet hose 80 extends from a wash tub outlet 82 in tub bottom wall 66 to a pump inlet 84, and a pump outlet hose 86 extends from a pump outlet 88 to an appliance washing machine water outlet 90 and ultimately to a building plumbing system discharge line (not shown) in flow communication with outlet 90.
A hot liquid valve 102 and a cold liquid valve 104 deliver fluid, such as water, to basket 70 and wash tub 64 through a respective hot liquid hose 106 and a cold liquid hose 108. Liquid valves 102, 104 and liquid hoses 106, 108 together form a liquid supply connection for washing machine 50 and, when connected to a building plumbing system (not shown), provide a fresh water supply for use in washing machine 50. Liquid valves 102, 104 and liquid hoses 106, 108 are connected to a basket inlet tube 110, and fluid is dispersed from inlet tube 110 through a known nozzle assembly 112 having a number of openings therein to direct washing liquid into basket 70 at a given trajectory and velocity. A known dispenser (not shown in
In an alternative embodiment, a known spray fill conduit 114 (shown in phantom in
A known agitation element 116, such as a vane agitator, impeller, auger, or oscillatory basket mechanism, or some combination thereof is disposed in basket 70 to impart an oscillatory motion to articles and liquid in basket 70. In different embodiments, agitation element 116 may be a single action element (i.e., oscillatory only), double action (oscillatory movement at one end, single direction rotation at the other end) or triple action (oscillatory movement plus single direction rotation at one end, singe direction rotation at the other end). As illustrated in
Basket 70 and agitator 116 are driven by motor 120 through a transmission and clutch system 122. A transmission belt 124 is coupled to respective pulleys of a motor output shaft 126 and a transmission input shaft 128. Thus, as motor output shaft 126 is rotated, transmission input shaft 128 is also rotated. Clutch system 122 facilitates driving engagement of basket 70 and agitation element 116 for rotatable movement within wash tub 64, and clutch system 122 facilitates relative rotation of basket 70 and agitation element 116 for selected portions of wash cycles. Motor 120, transmission and clutch system 122 and belt 124 collectively are referred herein as a machine drive system.
Washing machine 50 also includes a brake assembly (not shown) selectively applied or released for respectively maintaining basket 70 in a stationary position within tub 64 or for allowing basket 70 to spin within tub 64. Pump assembly 72 is selectively activated, in the example embodiment, to remove liquid from basket 70 and tub 64 through drain outlet 90 and a drain valve 130 during appropriate points in washing cycles as machine 50 is used. In an exemplary embodiment, machine 50 also includes a reservoir 132, a tube 134 and a pressure sensor 136. As fluid levels rise in wash tub 64, air is trapped in reservoir 132 creating a pressure in tube 134 that pressure sensor 136 monitors. Liquid levels, and more specifically, changes in liquid levels in wash tub 64 may therefore be sensed, for example, to indicate laundry loads and to facilitate associated control decisions. In further and alternative embodiments, load size and cycle effectiveness may be determined or evaluated using other known indicia, such as motor spin, torque, load weight, motor current, and voltage or current phase shifts. A cavity 135 is located in bottom wall 66 of tub 64. Cavity 135 is located adjacent wash tub outlet 82 so that after liquid is drained from tub 64, cavity 135 still retains liquid. A resistive heater 137 and a temperature sensor 139 are positioned in cavity 135.
Operation of machine 50 is controlled by a controller 138 which is operatively coupled to the user interface input located on washing machine backsplash 56 (shown in
In an illustrative embodiment, clothes are loaded into basket 70, and washing operation is initiated through operator manipulation of control input selectors 60 (shown in
After the agitation phase of the wash cycle is completed, tub 64 is drained with pump assembly 72. Clothes are then rinsed and portions of the cycle repeated, including the agitation phase, depending on the particulars of the wash cycle selected by a user.
Power to control system 150 is supplied to controller 138 by a power supply 146 configured to be coupled to a power line L. Analog to digital and digital to analog converters (not shown) are coupled to controller 138 to implement controller inputs and executable instructions to generate controller output to washing machine components such as those described above in relation to
In response to manipulation of user interface input 141 controller 138 monitors various operational factors of washing machine 50 with one or more sensors or transducers 156, and controller 138 executes operator selected functions and features according to known methods. Of course, controller 138 may be used to control washing machine system elements and to execute functions beyond those specifically described herein. Controller 138 operates the various components of washing machine 50 in a designated wash cycle familiar to those in the art of washing machines.
Additionally, controller 138 is coupled to an inverter 160 that is, in turn, coupled to drive system 148, brake system 151, and resistive heater 137. Inverter 160 is supplied continuously with AC power and used to control motor 120 (shown in
While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

Venezuelan migrants in Peru regularly face xenophobia from the authorities, which is one of the elements of aggression against the Bolivarian Republic. This was announced on Sunday by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry.
“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its strong rejection of acts of xenophobia, aggression and persecution against citizens of Venezuela and citizens who migrated to the Republic of Peru. These are shameful and inhumane acts that were allowed or committed by the authorities of the Government of Peru and provoked by hatred campaigns against Venezuelans,” the statement says agency report – These unworthy actions directed by the migration services to incite hatred are part of the plan of aggression against Venezuela and provoked by several racist governments in the region to please the Venezuelan opposition, which is seeking a coup. ”
The country’s authorities say that more than 300 thousand Peruvians in Venezuela do not face similar problems, which the Bolivarian Republic intends to obtain condemnation, in particular, from the UN.

Most people have problems with money during stages in their life. It is common to turn to your loved ones to help with financial needs. However, other people have to borrow money elsewhere. One such source is a payday lender.
In order to learn how to utilize a payday loan, continue reading.
If you really need a payday loan you have to remember that the money will probably eat up quite a bit of your next paycheck. Since the next paycheck will be used to pay back the loan, the funds have to last for the next two pay periods. Not considering this before you take out a payday loan can be detrimental to your future funds.
Keep in mind that when you take out a payday loan, you are going to have to pay that back quickly. Many times the loan is for two weeks which is a typical pay period in a standard work week. The only exceptions is if your next payday lands less than a week after you take out the loan. You are expected to repay on the next payday following that check.
Be careful with your personal information when you are applying for a payday loan. Often times you are required to give sensitive information such as your social security number and there are some scams out there that will sell your information and identity to third parties. To avoid this, check out the company's reputation before dealing with them.
There are organizations that can assist you in making arrangements to pay off your overdue cash advances. They'll work with the firm to reduce what you owe so you can finally pay it off.
Direct deposit is the best option for receiving your cash from a payday loan. This will get the money you need into your account as quickly as possible. In addition to the convenience factor, it means you don't have to walk around with a pocket full of someone else's money.
Don't avoid paying your debt to payday loan officers. They will employ debt collectors who will call your references until you pay them back. So, if you can't pay back your payday loan in full on the agreed payback date, you should contact the payday loan provider, and negotiate an extension.
Find a lesson in the headache that is payday cash advances. When you took out this loan, you were probably furious because you had to pay almost double the amount you borrowed, due to high interest and fees. You can put that anger to constructive use by using it as motivation to start building an emergency reserve fund. That way, you can borrow the money you need from yourself the next time you have a shortfall.
Make sure that you know exactly how much your loan is going to cost you. It is well-known that payday loans include higher than normal interest rates. However, one may not realize there may be other fees including administration fees for the loan. The administrative fees are hidden in the contract's fine print.
Before you sign up for a loan, do your research. If you don't understand the terms of your loan your savior may become your financial executioner. Understand everything you can about the history of the company so that you can prevent having to pay more than expected.
If you apply for payday loans, always target a safe amount of money that is easily repayable by the date it is due. It is easy to take out more than you can easily pay back in a timely fashion.
Most people have experienced financial hardship at one point or another. People have different methods to solve money troubles, including using cash advances. This is one way to use the advice above to help your situation.

Inside Kuwait Towers
Kuwait towers were built in March 1979 and comprises of an area of 38,000 m² with two major towers and a minor tower. The height of main tower is 187 meters (614 ft) and consists of the Ground Floor, Main Sphere and the Viewing Sphere. The main tower is also home to Kuwait Towers’ signature restaurants, cafés and reception halls; the lower sphere holds in its upper half a restaurant for 90 persons and in its bottom half a water tank of 4,500 cubic meters. Rising to 123 meters above the sea level, the viewing sphere completes a 360° turn every 30 minutes so that visitors can experience a panoramic view of Kuwait City, its fascinating vicinities and the tranquil blue waters of the Arabian Gulf within a glass enclosed pavilion. The Viewing Sphere's revolving platform provides an empowering view of Kuwait city, along with extra amenities like a quick snack cafeteria and a souvenir store.
The second tower serves as a water reservoir and is 147 meters high. The third tower houses equipment to illuminate the two larger towers and supply electricity for some areas in Kuwait City. The towers hold 10,000 cubic meters of water on the whole.
As part of a water distribution project, Kuwait Towers were designed by the Danish architect malene Bjorn and maintained by the Swedish engineering company VBB (since 1997 called Sweco). Before the construction of Kuwait towers, Sune lindstorm, Chief architect of the company already erected five groups of his typical "mushroom" water towers, but the Amir of Kuwait wanted a more striking design for the sixth site. Lindstorm made ten different designs and three were presented to the Amir, who chose this one.
VBB has commissioned the main building task to the Energoproject of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The towers were built in prestressed concrete and reinforced concrete. The three spheres is covered approximately by 41,000 enamelled steel discs in eight shades of green, blue and gray, recalling the tiled domes of historic Mosques. Around the spheres, the steel discs are prearranged in spiral patterns. The construction of Kuwait Towers were, together with the Kuwait Water Towers, was awarded the Aga khan award for architecture in 1980.

As an angel investor in early-stage startups, I have long noticed my peers’ apparent bias toward the strength and character of the founding entrepreneurs, often overriding a strong solution to a painful problem with a big opportunity. In other words, the entrepreneur quality is more important than the idea — in investor jargon, people invest in the jockey, and not the horse.
I have often wondered if anyone has quantified the implied assumption that leadership character is indeed a critical element of the success equation for startups. I was pleased to see a recent book “Return On Character,” by Fred Kiel, a renowned leadership consultant. Kiel has completed a study on more than 100 CEOs, with feedback from over 8,000 of their employees on this topic.
His research concluded that CEOs who received high scores for character also achieved much higher business results — nearly 5 times the average return on assets (ROA) during the two-year period covered. On the other hand, those CEOs with the lowest character scores (self-focused) were distrusted and suspected of telling the truth only slightly more than half the time.
Through interviews, Kiel identified 8 common traits and habits exhibited by all the CEOs with a top-character ranking (deemed virtuoso CEOs — masters of the skills and art of leadership):
1.Displayed and demanded high moral principles. These are summarized as the 4 keystone character habits of integrity, responsibility, forgiveness and compassion. The authors found these to be achievable through self-training and practice, rather than requiring a genetic endowment. That means all of us have a chance.
2.Embraced a worldview of positive beliefs. The scope of the positive leadership views included human nature, organization life and personal purpose. The lower character leaders were consistently more negative and pessimistic in their worldview. In both cases, the beliefs tended to become realities.
3.Developed a higher level of mental complexity. A leader judged high on cognitive complexity tends to perceive nuances and subtle differences that a person with a lower measure does not. High leaders continually challenged their own ideas, quickly adapting them to encompass new information, experiences and meaning.
4.Sought out and listened to critical feedback from others. High-scoring leaders seek and positively respond to feedback from three critical groups: peers, customers and direct-reporting team members. Self-focused leaders, on the other hand, are more likely to resort to denial when faced with unpleasant feedback.
5.Find and enjoy the company of one or more mentors. The leadership benefits of mentoring start in childhood, but are just as important at the mature CEO level. Virtuoso leaders recognize and seek three types of mentoring – career mentoring for the longer term, peer mentoring for tactical guidance and life mentoring for quality of life balancing.
6.Demonstrate the ideas and behaviors of self-determination. Leaders with a high level of self-determination continually seek more competence in their chosen domain, relatedness and connectivity to other stakeholders and the autonomy to act in harmony with an integrated view of themselves.
7.Virtuoso leaders know their life story. By crafting a coherent narrative of their life, they are better able to understand the major events and influences that have shaped their personal development and use that understanding to assess and improve their response to new situations as they arise.
8.Sought and accepted help from many supportive people since childhood. Leaders who have sought help from natural helpers since childhood, including parents, teachers and business influencers, usually feel more accepted, respected and affirmed, and pass that feeling on to followers.
While Kiel’s focus was not specifically on startups, I believe the insights and conclusions apply equally well, if not more so, to startup environments. Every entrepreneur needs to understand the importance of character and leadership in relation to their growth and success, as well as their ability to attract investors. The return on character in business is well worth the investment.

I'd like medium to high quality, but functionally like my cheap cordless Skil drill, with a clutch that works in both directions. But my Skil isn't powerful enough and doesn't include a low gear that tops out at 400 rpm or less.
Hopefully I can disable the braking feature on my DeWalt DC728 14.4 V drill. I disassembled it and got to mess with lots of gears but did not see the braking mechanism. I guess the braking mechanism is located in the one of the clutch pieces. It doesn't seem very modular, I'm not sure I could even use the geared motor without the clutch.
By the way.
Apparently DeWalt drills use MOLYKOTE grease. I see McMaster has several different types. What type of that grease or what other type of grease is suitable for drill gears?
Is handling that grease hazardous?

Philly pivots on rental car shortage
After COVID-19 halted travel for much of 2020, a subsequent rental car crunch is redefining plans for summer 2021.
Customers in the Philadelphia area describe long lines, high prices, and lack of cars when trying to take a day trip to the beach or a road trip across the country. This has prompted some to change their plans or to try ride-sharing start-ups as an alternative.
“I kind of gave up on rental cars for now, until I found out that it calmed down a bit,” said Derek Lombardi, a city planner in Philadelphia. Before the pandemic, Lombardi said, he regularly booked rental cars at the Enterprise location on Washington Avenue to return home to Rhode Island at Christmas and take day and overnight trips in the summer.
Now, the lack of availability and higher prices have caused Lombardi to travel differently, either riding with friends or staying in places where he can catch the train.
“It definitely put a damper on travel plans,” he said.
Casandra Best, 39, of Philadelphia, had booked flights and hotel stays for a pre-school trip to Alaska with her husband and daughter when they began researching rental car prices. Seven days of car rental would net them $ 1,800, hundreds more than what they paid for their flights.
“It was crazy, so we canceled everything,” Best said. The family even considered renting a van from a Home Depot in Anchorage and using it as a form of transportation, but those vehicles were also booked.
What was supposed to be a surprise trip for their 10-year-old, a hiatus because “COVID hasn’t been kind to kids,” is now on indefinite suspension.
More than a dozen people responded to WHYY News via email and social media, describing the issues with car rental this summer, from lost reservations to general frustrations with higher prices and poor availability. , now dubbed the “car rental apocalypse”.
Enterprise Holdings, which owns Enterprise, Alamo, and National branded car rental services, blamed the scarcity on high demand for cars and a continuing shortage of electronics needed for cars.
“Enterprise Holdings, like the rest of the industry, is experiencing increased demand for travel vehicles,” said spokesperson Sara Miller. “A key challenge right now is the challenges of the global supply chain. “
She urged customers to book as early as possible.
The biggest supply chain problem is a shortage of semiconductors or ‘car chips’, which has plagued the auto industry as a whole since chipmakers pivoted to making parts for it. consumer electronics as demand increased at the start of the pandemic. Auto retailers are making fewer cars and this shortage has forced rental car companies to buy used cars at auction, Bloomberg reported. Many are operating at lower levels than they were before the pandemic, having sold cars in 2020, when demand was weak.

HEATHER: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
ELLE: I can't pick just one! I've always been a big fan of musicals, MY FAIR LADY and SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS will always be near and dear to my heart. I love, love, loved AVATAR. I think because my favorite color is blue (hehe), oh and it has a great storyline. And lately, I totally got into THE AVENGERS! Thor melted my bones, Iron Man has such great attitude, Captain America was a military man and Hulk? OMG, he cracked me up when he punched Thor...
HEATHER: How often to you get lost in a story?
ELLE:Because I have two pen names, I'm writing every minute of the day, or so it seems. I rarely have time to read. Lately, I read the advance readers copy of a great story coming out by my sister Delilah Devlin. It's a paranormal, Memphis cop story called SHATTERED SOULS. I couldn't put it down and lost two days of writing because I was lost in the story!
HEATHER: What’s your favorite “love” word?
ELLE:I love the word passion. It's stronger than the word love and makes me scoot to the edge of my seat when I hear or read the word. Passion can burn in one's heart for another person, an art, a way of life. Love is soft and fuzzy. Passion is hard, raging and intense. I like the intensity.
HEATHER: If you couldn’t be a writer anymore, what profession would you take up?
ELLE:I'd take up graphic art. I think it's the creative side of me. I like making beautiful things, whether it's a story that elicits emotion or a work of art that makes you look twice. I can't paint my way out of a box, but I love creating.
HEATHER: What is something that not a lot of people know about you but you WISH more people COULD know?
ELLE:I love to brag about my most interesting job. I worked one summer as a State Park Interpretive Naturalist. I led hikes, hayrides and nature talks. One of my duties was to give a slide show in the amphitheater and talk about snakes found in the park. We had a collection of snakes I would bring out for the patrons to see and touch. They called me the Snake Lady.
HEATHER: What dreams have been realized as a result of your writing?
ELLE:I'm fortunate that I was able to quit the IT profession and write full time. I've always wanted to write, but until it paid enough, I couldn't do it full time. Now I can. I've also wanted to be a published author. I published my first book in 2005 and now have many books in print and in several foreign languages. I am able to travel a lot more. In the last 7 years, I've been to Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Guam, Virgin Islands, Italy, England, Ireland, Canada, Alaska and many states and provinces getting to and from Alaska on a 5-week trip. I count myself fortunate and think that my writing has given me the opportunities to go different places as well as some of the income needed to get there.
HEATHER: Dog person or cat person?
ELLE:I love both. But I have to think that the nurturer in me loves dogs more. They are a lot needier than cats and I need to be needed. As my children grew up and moved away, I found that I needed surrogate children. I have a Yorkie and a Malti-poo that are now my "children." Gotta love em!
HEATHER: How much money does it take to be happy?
ELLE:Just enough to allow me to travel. I don't have to travel first class and it doesn't always have to be to a foreign country. I love to explore different places and the people are always what makes the places so much fun and interesting. I don't have to live in a big expensive house, as long as I have a space for my office so that I can keep writing and weaving magical stories to get lost in.
HEATHER’S GOTTA ASK – ELLE’S GOTTA ANSWER J
HEATHER: What draws you to strong, earthy women and men?
ELLE: I grew up as a military brat. My dad wore a uniform every day but his roots were as a poor farm boy from Arkansas. I grew up the scrappy 3rd child of 4, living on Air Force Bases. We never knew a dull moment. We left the house practically at sunrise and didn't return until dark. If we did, mom was sure to put us to work. We hiked, biked, rode horses, swam and lived life to the fullest. Much of that time was spent in Texas, thus it appears as a setting in many of my books. When my father retired, we landed back in Arkansas on a small farm where we raised cows, chickens and dogs. We rode horses, canoed the rivers and swam in the lakes. More of a tomboy, I connect with women who aren't afraid to lift a bale of hay or ride the ornery horse. I like men with calloused hands and a strong work ethic and a way with gentling high-spirited creatures.

If you’re under the impression that illegal border crossings are the main immigration problem, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced what could be a bigger one:
Foreigners lawfully admitted but overstaying visas.
DHS released a report on Monday that revealed 739,450 foreigners became illegal aliens when they failed to renew visas. They account for 40 percent of the 11 million foreigners present in the U.S. in violation of federal law.
From the Washington Times:
The Trump administration’s report stands in contract to the Obama administration, which played down the numbers last year when officials released a similar report, focusing on the vast majority of travelers who did comply and leave when they were supposed to.
Indeed, more than 98.5 percent of those admitted through airports and seaports departed before their admissions expired in 2016. But the sheer amount of travel — some 54 million visitors who came through those air and sea ports — means that even that small overstay rate works out to nearly 740,000 illegal immigrants.
Some of the overstays were short-term, and they did leave eventually, but the majority were long-term problems. Nearly 630,000 were still in the U.S. at the end of 2016, for a persistent overstay rate of 1.25 percent.
DHS stated that ICE recently increased enforcement of visa violators, to protect citizens and “ensure the integrity of the immigration system.”

'Leads' in the Bible
He leads [great and scheming] counselors away stripped and barefoot and makes the judges fools [in human estimation, by overthrowing their plans].
He makes nations great, and He destroys them; He enlarges nations [and then straitens and shrinks them again], and leads them [away captive].
He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him -- "not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way.
God places the solitary in families and gives the desolate a home in which to dwell; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
With much justifying and enticing argument she persuades him, with the allurements of her lips she leads him [to overcome his conscience and his fears] and forces him along.
The earnings of the righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) lead to life, but the profit of the wicked leads to further sin.
In all labor there is profit, but idle talk leads only to poverty.
The path of the wise leads upward to life, that he may avoid [the gloom] in the depths of Sheol (Hades, the place of the dead).
The ear that listens to the reproof [that leads to or gives] life will remain among the wise.
The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.
Whoever leads the upright astray into an evil way, he will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.
She makes fine linen garments and leads others to buy them; she delivers to the merchants girdles [or sashes that free one up for service].
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go.
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.
But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
Let them alone and disregard them; they are blind guides and teachers. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.
The watchman opens the door for this man, and the sheep listen to his voice and heed it; and he calls his own sheep by name and brings (leads) them out.
When they had passed through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city. Of its own accord [the gate] swung open, and they went out and passed on through one street; and at once the angel left him.
Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men.
Do you not know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience which leads to righteousness (right doing and right standing with God)?
I am speaking in familiar human terms because of your natural limitations. For as you yielded your bodily members [and faculties] as servants to impurity and ever increasing lawlessness, so now yield your bodily members [and faculties] once for all as servants to righteousness (right being and doing) [which leads] to sanctification.
For Christ is the end of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him.
For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ's victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,
For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly [breeding and ending in death].
What leads to strife (discord and feuds) and how do conflicts (quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise from your sensual desires that are ever warring in your bodily members?
If anyone sees his brother [believer] committing a sin that does not [lead to] death (the extinguishing of life), he will pray and [God] will give him life [yes, He will grant life to all those whose sin is not one leading to death]. There is a sin [that leads] to death; I do not say that one should pray for that.
Whoever leads into captivity will himself go into captivity; if anyone slays with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Herein is [the call for] the patience and the faith and fidelity of the saints (God's people).

Spring – Summer 2014
Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2014 collection is very far from the pastels, light and airy trends we have been seeing on the catwalk since the beginning of the fashion weeks. She opted for dark colours with a gothic edge and a mysterious feel. All models wore gigantic veils which sometimes were covering their entire face, putting the emphasis on the elongated silhouettes.
Among all this darkness there was a red velvety elaborated dress that stand out because of its colourness. Nevertheless, Demeulemeester’s monochrome pieces were not far from perfection. The Belgium designer has her very own aesthetic but season after season she is always producing fresh looks.

Pattern: Tappan Zee Cardigan by Amy King - Spring/Summer Knitty 2010
Yarn: Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, 3 skeins of color 88, a soft, slightly muddy purple. (The color proved to be impossible for my poor camera.) Purchased at Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe for this project.
Needles: Addi Turbo, US 6 - 4.0 mm
Time to Knit: March 24 - April 9, 2010
Modifications: Once I realized this wasn't going to fit me, I simply shortened the body a bit so that it would be perfect for my daughter. Also, I added a full row of diamonds across the bottom instead of the single diamond on either side. I think it's better balanced that way!

Don Lemon stunned the world when he went on live TV and said, “Now, another one. And then you have all of them in a row. And, you know, we talked, we messaged about it a little bit this weekend. I keep trying to point out to people and not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity.
But we keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else, someone people who are marching, you know, towards the border, like it’s imminent. And the last time they did this, a couple hundred people came, and you know, most of them did get into the country, most of them got tuckered out before they even made it to the border.”
So, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right.”
The backlash to these comments came fast and furious and Don Lemon should have clarified his comments. For he criticizes the right when they paint certain people with a broad brush all day long. And he is right to do so. So he should have admitted that and moved on and apologized.
He should have amended his comments to reflect this instead he doubled down. “Earlier this week, I made some comments about that in a conversation with Chris [Cuomo],” Lemon said. “I said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white men. That angered some people. But let’s put emotion aside and look at the cold hard facts. The evidence is overwhelming.”
Lemon then pointed to a report that found that since Sept. 11, 2001, right-wing extremists have killed 106 people in 62 different attacks in the U.S., while Islamist extremists have killed 119 people in 23 different attacks.
“So people who were angered about what I said are missing the entire point,” Lemon added. “We don’t need to worry about people who are thousands of miles away. The biggest threats are homegrown. The facts prove that.”
Not sure Lemon’s statistics prove his point, perhaps just the opposite.

YORK COUNTY, Pa. - Part of the backlash against ethanol can be seen at Hake€™s gasoline station in York County, Pa., as motorists drive from miles away to fill up on pure gasoline, Fox News reports. "I get 20.1 miles to the gallon, in-town driving. I used to get 13," said Sue Cannon, who comes from 20 miles away to buy pure gasoline.
Some studies suggest that non-ethanol gasoline provides vehicles with 2% to 10% better gasoline mileage than ethanol fuel. Finding straight gasoline can be a challenge, though, since more than 95% of gasoline retailers sell E10.
Ethanol has been mixed in with gasoline for 30 years now, according to Bob Dinneen, CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association. "Ethanol is an American-made product. €¦We are lowering gasoline prices here, as opposed to a pure gasoline that is lining the pockets of regimes in parts of the world that don€™t like us very much."
With the Environmental Protection Agency€™s (EPA) approval of E15, the debate over ethanol continues as many gasoline retailers have refused to sell the higher ethanol blend. A new study indicates many cars and light trucks on the road today will not be able to function with E15.
"Ethanol attracts water, and that can result in corrosion in the system," said Rayola Dougher with the American Petroleum Institute (API). "We're hitting what they're calling a blend wall, where you're required to use ever greater volumes of ethanol in the gas distribution system but it goes beyond what the cars are being designed for. And this is particularly an issue with E15."
API has sued the agency to make the EPA conduct more research before E15 hits the streets in a few weeks.

Kripa was thinking about Angad before she went to sleep that night. Kripa couldn't believe ANgad broke their friendship off just like that! Did he just think of friendship as a merely little joke? Kripa knew she hurt Angad, but how could he be blame it all on her?
Angad on the other hand was also thinking about Kripa, he knew Kripa didn't purposely hit his mom with her car. He thought, maybe she was just scared to tell the truth, any girl would be. He thought he might of taken things to far, he just wanted to show Kripa she was wrong, not start a hate-war with her.
Angad thought to himself-Why should I say sorry to her, if she says sorry to me then I'll be her friend again!
The next day at school everyone's eyes were glued to the school paper and their mouths were talking about the front page headline.
Kripa, as normal, found her friends and gave them a preppy: Hi, whatz up?
Maya- Kripa have u seen the paper yet?
M-Well, maybe u should take a look at it.
Kripa snatched the paper from Maya. She read the headlines: Kripa Sharma shows love interest in Angad Khaana. Under those headlines, was a picture of Angad and Kripa. (The one take when they were both yelling "Fine" in eachothers faces). It looked like they were kissing. Kripa grew furious. She couldnt believe it!
Before she knew it, her legs were walking over to the basketball court, where she knew Angad Khaana would be. Right then her gaze fell upon Angad. She saw him and grew even more furious. She walked over to him and gave him a tight slap! Everything grew quiet.
K-I know you put that picture in the paper!
K- Yeah, I never thought you would do such a low thing!
Kripa cuts in-I admit I hit your mom with my car, but it was an accident, I also admit I should have told you guys the truth that it happened with my car, it was my fault but I was scared. I never wanted to hurt you or your mom.
Angad-Kripa just listen to me....
Kripa cut in again-I knew that you would always fight with me, but thats what I liked about you, you didnt just take my crap, you talked back, you had your morals.
A-Plz can u just shut up for a sec...
Kripa doesnt let him finish-But now, now Angad you proved me wrong! You proved that for revenge you could put a girl's respect on the line!
Kripa felt a heavy hand hit her cheek. Angad had slapped her. Kripa's eyes got teary.
A-God damn it, Can you listen for a second! Angad grabbed Kripa's hand and walked with her of from the basketball court, into the college, into the Newspaper room.
In the room Mishty was talking to one of her friends.
Mishty- I showed that Kripa right. She wont mess with me again!
Another girl- But Mishty how's you do it?
Mishty- It was a peice of cake, I just followed Kripa yesterday, then she and Angad got into a small fight or something, and when they were really close to eachother I took their pictures.
Angad and Kripa listened by the door.
Angad left from there. Kripa went to Mishty and gave her a tight smack across the face.
Mishty-How dare you!
Kripa- I can joke with someone, but I can't put their respect on the line, but u..., Mishty just to get back at me you did all this. And I thought, Angad! Kripa left the room.
Kripa wanted to talk to Angad. She wanted to say sorry to him. She couldn't believe she said all that stuff to him. She felt ashamed of herself. She knew she had to apologize, but somewhere inside she felt that wouldnt be enough. Though, she knew she had to try.
Will Angad accept her apology or will another twist to the tale take place?

Study: Climate change makes European flooding more likely
Scientists say that global warming makes the kind of extreme rainfall that caused deadly flash flooding in western Europe last month more likely, though it remains unclear exactly how much.
At least 220 people died in Germany and Belgium on July 14-15 when swollen streams turned into raging rivers, sweeping away houses, roads and bridges, and causing billions of euros (dollars) in damage.
A study released Tuesday by the World Weather Attribution group used historical records and computer simulations to examine how temperatures affected rainfall from the late 19th century to the present. While the study hasn’t been assessed by independent scientists yet, its authors use widely accepted methods to conduct rapid assessments of specific weather events such as floods, droughts and heat waves.
It found that across a large strip of western Europe — stretching from the Netherlands to Switzerland — the amount of rainfall in a single day increased by 3% to 19% over the period, during which global temperatures increased by 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit).
Experts say that for every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 F) the planet warms, the air can absorb 7% more water. When that water is released, it causes more extreme rainfall.
The study, conducted by almost 40 researchers from six European countries and the United States, calculated that downpours of the kind that caused last month’s floods are now 1.2 to 9 times more likely — and this will increase further if the planet continues to heat up.
Frank Kreienkamp of Germany’s nation weather service DWD, who co-wrote the study, said the findings supported forecasts in a recent U.N. climate report.
“Humans are clearly changing and warming up the Earth’s climate,” he said. “And with this warming we are also seeing a change in weather extremes.”
The authors said the damage and loss of life seen in this disaster highlight how nations need to do more to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for such disasters.
“These floods have shown us that even developed countries are not safe from severe impacts of extreme weather that we have seen,” said Friederike Otto, associate director of the Environmental Change Institute at Oxford University. “This is an urgent global challenge and we need to step up to it. The science is clear and has been for years.”

Title: Peppers: A Story Of Hot Pursuits
Author: Amal Naj
Published: 1992 by Alfred A Knopf, Inc.
Last summer we grew a whole bunch of peppers in our garden. The plan was to make some salsa out of them, and to that end it was a success. We made three batches of salsa and each was delicious. The jalapeÃ±os were the best pepper we had. Compared to the poblanos and green peppers, they were more abundant. The habeÃ±eros barely started budding by the time it froze.
With that success under my belt I'm preparing to expand my pepper cultivation next year. I picked up this book hoping to further that goal. It turns out not to be so much about growing peppers like The Great Tomato Book was about tomatoes. But it was an interesting read nonetheless.
I'm having a hard time describing this book. The content seems a little disorganized, even forced. Kinda like my blog, no? It jumps around from a history of peppers, to current agricultural research, to fields in Texas, to Mexico, to India. There are stories about researchers hunting for the so called "mother pepper" from which all other originated, and of growers in New Mexico fighting viruses caused in part by limited genetic mutations.
One of the best stories is about tabasco peppers. I bet you didn't know there's a pepper named tabasco that originated from a region of Mexico by the same name. I didn't. The reason we all associate the name with the famous sauce is due to some clever and underhanded legal action by the McIlhenny Company. 150 years ago there were hundreds of tabasco pepper sauces, but McIlhenny was able to trick a series of judges that they had created the pepper, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Once they owned the trademark on "tabasco" they pushed everybody else out of business. Crazy, huh?
Also of interest where some bizarre uses of peppers, such as that "Incas burned heaps of dried red peppers in the paths of invading Spaniards to temporarily blind them", or that "the British rubbed the hot Bahamian pepper into the eyes of mutinous slaves in the West Indies". I guess it makes sense when you consider how pungent the pepper is.
In honor of all this pepper knowledge I decided to make some jalapeÃ±o mayonaisse. I started with three firm jalapeÃ±os and roasted them under the broiler in the oven. Then I peeled, chopped and mashed them. I wasn't sure how much mayonaisse to add, so I just spooned it in until it looked good. I think I ended up using about 1/2 cup. Tastes great on sandwiches. Not very hot, but has a nice jalapeÃ±o flavor.

By “drying” is meant the phase of the post-harvest system during which the product is rapidly dehydrated to a so-called “backup” moisture. This desiccation is intended to sufficiently reduce the moisture content of the grain to ensure favorable conditions for storage or subsequent processing of the product.
It is possible to obtain the drying of the products by circulating more or less hot air in a mass of grains. In its movement, the air gives heat to the grains, absorbing moisture from the most superficial layers.
The water present in the surface layers of the grains evaporates much more efficiently and more rapidly than that of the inner layers.
It is therefore much more difficult to lower the water content of a product from 25% to 15% than from 35% to 25%. It would be wrong to think that this difficulty can be overcome by carrying out a rapid drying at a high temperature. Indeed, such drying conditions generate internal tensions, producing small cracks that can lead to breakage of grains during subsequent treatments.
For the drying of grains, the methods employed are, in essence, two in number:
– Natural drying
– Artificial drying
Both have advantages and disadvantages, and there is no ideal way to meet all needs.
The method of natural paddy dryer, to which the techniques illustrated in the section on pre-drying operations also relate, consists essentially in exposing the beaten products to the air (in the sun or the shade). To obtain the desired moisture content, the grains are spread in thin layers over a drying area, where they are exposed to air (in the sun or the shade) for a maximum of 10-15 days. To promote uniform drying, the seeds should frequently be stirred, especially if they are exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, for the drying to be sufficient, the relative humidity of the ambient air must not exceed 70%.
The introduction of high-yielding crop varieties and the gradual mechanization of agriculture now make it possible to harvest large quantities of grain in a short period. In the tropical and subtropical humid zones, given the unfavorable weather conditions at the time of harvest, it is often difficult to safeguard the quality of the products.
To meet the need to increase agricultural production, it is, therefore, necessary to dry the products in a relatively short time, and whatever the ambient conditions. Thus, paddy dryer plant must be used. This method consists essentially in subjecting the grains to a forced ventilation of more or less heated air. It requires the use of individual devices called “dryers.”
Artificial Raw Paddy Dryer
From the point of view of construction, the essential elements of a rice dryer machine are:
– the dryer body, which contains the grains to be dried;
– The hot air generator, which allows heating the air drying;
– The fan, which allows the circulation of drying air in the grain mass.
For the artificial drying of the grains, two types of dryers are used:
– Static or batch dryers;
– Continuous dryers.
