As you can tell, I'm obsessed with seafood and these oyster tacos are so easy to make...they are a great quick Saturday night dinner. I usually make my oyster tacos with a flour based / beer batter, but this time around I tried this recipe and I love the crunch that it gave it https://beyondmeresustenance.com/fried-oyster-tacos-citrus-salsa/ AND I love citrus salsas – I have used them for salmon tacos (look at week 2), but I was picking up my produce and I saw this pretty dragon fruit and opted to do a dragon fruit salsa. I served these tacos with a bowl of mussels that I made with hatch chile broth. Look for that recipe too.
Serves 6 street tacos
12 – 16 oysters
* Note: I got mine fresh in the shell which if you have an awesome fishmonger just have him shuck them for you – will save you some time. I made the tacos with 4” tortillas (street taco size) – calculate about 2 oysters per taco. If you are using 6” you will want to adjust to 3 oysters per taco.
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk
1 small egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable Oil for frying
White Corn Tortillas 4”
• 1 Dragon Fruit (large)
• 2 Green Onions (chopped only green parts)
• 1 Grapefruit (large, cut in sections, no seeds)
• 2 Jalapenos finely chopped
• Cilantro bunch chopped
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Salt to taste
• Napa Cabbage finely shredded
• Avocado slices
Start by making your salsa. Cube your dragon fruit as you would with a tomato salsa. Next combine your remaining ingredients and salt to taste. If your dragon fruit is not acidic enough, add more lemon juice or even a little lime juice. Set it in the refrigerator so it’s nice and cold for serving.
Heat up your oil 375. Set 2 bowls, 1 with buttermilk/egg mix and the other one with cornmeal, salt and pepper. Pat dry your oysters and pass them through the buttermilk and then pat them on cornmeal mix. Immediately set in the fryer – fry until golden (about 3 minutes total). Take out and place on a plate with a paper towel.
Heat up your corn tortillas with a little vegetable oil or butter.
Set up your tortilla and add shredded cabbage. Add 2 oysters and top with dragon fruit salsa and avocado slice. Serve with a lime.

In a parliamentary system, there is a legitimate case to be made that a party leader should be chosen by the party’s members of parliament, but the Australian Labor Party’s sudden, coup-d’état-like leadership changes in the past few years do not provide for serious, considered scrutiny of the candidates. And because Labor is the party in power, the result has been three successive prime ministerships.
In June, 2010, Kevin Rudd, the Australian prime minister, was voted out by his caucus a day before he was scheduled to leave for the G20 in Toronto. His deputy, Julia Gillard, became prime minister. Two months later, she barely hung to power with one Green MP and four independents. Since then, Mr. Rudd has made three attempts at restoration. After the second, he renounced any further prime-ministerial ambitions.
But with Labor’s weakness in the polls vis-à-vis the Liberal-National Party, Mr. Rudd is suddenly back as leader. Ms. Gillard has resigned as prime minister, having advised the Governor-General to ask Mr. Rudd to try to form a government. She has forsworn politics. The federal election will take place in September.
It was not long ago that British party leaders were similarly chosen by the House of Commons caucus. Such contests are always partly about who is most likely to win or keep power, but the challenge made to Margaret Thatcher by Michael Heseltine in 1990 (resulting in the victory of John Major) engaged serious questions about the place of the state in the economy. The Rudd-Gillard feud, however, seems singularly thin on serious policy issues.
The Australian Labor Party should renounce cloak-and-dagger operations. After the September election, it should now opt for a leadership process based on a wide consultation of the membership.Report Typo/Error

New York - The agency slashed Brits' triple-A rating down one notch after rival credit analysts Standard & Poor Bastards issued a trick or treat dare.
From midnight tonight Moody's Investors Service's new classification comes in as AA1 slicing a half point off the country's street cred.
To the average bloke in the average Brit street the downgrade will mean f++k all, of course.
But try to borrow a few hundred billion and the pain threshold rises proportionally with the tumescence of a nation's debt. [WTF? - 'Ed']
This evening's announcement has rattled George Osborne as he juggles with which whopping great big lie to tell next to the electorate.
Including just how much we're still paying the Bloody Yanks for our Iraq War costs.
And other stuff like Taliban-induced debts.
Only Germany and Canada now retain the precious triple-A rating but all that could change with a decent international fraud trial.

The most popular form of organized rifle-only competitive shooting in the United States is NRA High Power Competition. High Power Competition encompasses primarily Service Rifle and Match Rifle. Apart from a sling, there are no mechanical crutches in High Power--your arms and body must support the full weight of the rifle as you engage the target from a variety of positions. The vast majority of High Power matches are iron sights only. These factors place a premium on good eyesight, training, and overall fitness.
Every NRA High Power Rifle match for which classification records are kept is a multiple or a combination of one or more strings of fire.
As of 30 July 2018
This year we are going to introduce a modest award program for our high power rifle matches.
Two types of awards will be given: metal pins (if they are available) in the shape of the high power rifles we generally compete with and certificates redeemable for an entry fee in our subsequent high power rifle matches.
Below you will find the policy we are planning on following. If we have enough classified shooters to justify a class award in the NRA Approved matches we may add such in the future.
The entry fee certificate will be the award for this discipline.
Three certificates will be awarded, one for High Overall, one for High Match Rifle and one for High Service Rifle.
Current Match Report
SLSC NRA Approved High Power Rifle Match
Saturdays weather turned out nearly perfect after a couple dreary wet days and in spite of it being a long holiday weekend, five shooters showed up, ready to burn up some gun powder. Three generations of service rifles were on the line with the AR-15 emerging as the one to beat today. All of the shooters today elected to use iron sights. Mark edged out James with an almost Master class score of 467-8x. Three more points and it would have been in the Master classification. James was the high Marksman but will not be a Marksman long when the NRA Competitions Division finally up-grades his classification card to a more accurate level.
This was the first high power national match course for the three other Marksmen and much was learned by them all. I expect to see a considerable improvement in their scores when the next NMC is fired in August. The smaller scoring rings in the last two stages of the match are a shock at first, but you just have to hold a little harder, the X ring is still in the center of the black and that’s what you are still aiming for.
Our next match will be a High Power Sporting Rifle match on June 25 th. This is a great introduction to HP rifle competition and I highly recommend it for both first timers and experienced marksmen. More details will be sent out as the date approaches.
My thanks to the shooters who showed up for their support and help in putting on the match.

Metal Roofs – Aluminum vs Galvanized/Galvalume
January 26, 2017 | By Bryan Rusch | Filed under: Articles, Education, Metal Roofing, Technical
All Metal Roofs Are Not Created Equal
The benefits of metal roofing in New England cannot be disputed. Although not all metal roofs are created equal, nor are they installed in the same manner. We are going to cover a vital item that is highly significant when it comes to residential applications. That is the base metal used for the roof.
Base metal, when used in the context of construction, is the primary component used in construction material, from the sheets of roofing exposed to the elements, right down to the fasteners contained beneath the roof. When used as part of a roof assembly, the base metals can be steel, aluminum, copper, zinc,or a combination of base metals. All base metals have distinct properties which contribute to advantages and disadvantages in longevity and appearance when applied in various climate zones.
We will focus on two widely used base metals used in roofing: steel and aluminum. Steel is a hard, strong, gray or bluish-gray alloy of iron with carbon and usually other elements, used extensively as a structural and fabricating material. Aluminum is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Both metals can be used for roofing. Steel can be used for structural roofing and architectural roofing. Aluminum is primarily used for architectural roofing. Architectural roofing does not require structural integrity in the construction assembly.
Galvanized and Galvalume Steel Roofing
It is important to note that base metals can be combined, coated, or layered with additional metals in a variety of bonding processes. Two popular roofing materials that use this process of binding two or more dissimilar metals are referred to as galvanized and galvalume, each of which use steel as the base metal. Iron or steel can be coated with zinc; this is known as a galvanized metal. The zinc acts as a protective layer to iron or steel to prevent rust. Galvalume is aluminum and zinc coated steel. The combination of aluminum and zinc is used once again as a protective layer to the steel. Steel exposed by itself without other protective metal coatings such as aluminum or zinc turns a reddish- or yellowish-brown flaky coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation, especially in the presence of moisture. It is what we refer to as “rust.”
Rust has been called “the great destroyer” and “the evil.” The Pentagon refers to it as “the pervasive menace.” It destroys cars, fells bridges, sinks ships, sparks house fires, and nearly brought down the Statue of Liberty. Rust costs America more than $400 billion per year—more than all other natural disasters combined. (reference: RUST: the longest war)
What Happens When the Protective Coating Wears Off?
Everyone has come across rust at some time in their life. We have all seen it before. Rust is unsightly. Shiny spokes on a bicycle wheel, or a dented corner panel on a car, all show the common enemy of rust becoming evident eventually. The question is would you want to see rust on your home’s roof in the future? Which base metal assures no rust whatsoever over the course of the roofs life? The only one of the three base metals we have looked at that is rust-proof is aluminum.
Metal working requires tools which bend, cut, and shape metal roofing components. Roof valleys and ridge caps are bent, roof edges are cut, and panels are formed and shaped depending on the particular style desired. All of this metal work by mechanics contributes to stresses on the metals and exposure of edges where a base metal may lose the protective coating, be it another metal or paint finish which is meant to keep it from rusting. This is particularly true for galvanized and galvalume roofs where the base metal steel is now exposed to the elements. Warranties for galvalume and galvanized roofing will call out a certain acceptable amount of rust from any edge that is cut within a specified period of time. Do you want to look up at a newly installed metal roof and wonder when the rust will show up, the paint finish will start peeling, and rust will begin running down your siding? I suspect not. So if that is true, you will want to choose to have an architectural aluminum roof installed, as aluminum does not rust. Aluminum, as you remember, is used to coat steel in the galvanized and galvalume products. You also do not want the fasteners holding your roof on, which may also be galvanized undergoing deterioration.
The photo above shows galvanic reaction occurring, through the paint finish no less, of a steel based roof underneath the flashing of a drip edge above. This would not happen in a Kynar resin paint finished aluminum roof.
The photo above shows the drip edge and rib bend in the galvalume standing seam roof of the same home. If you examine the photograph closely, you will see the paint finish has chipped away underneath the drip edge where the steel base metal has begun to deteriorate (rust).
Galvalume metal roof failure on commercial building
It is common for many buildings to use galvalume roofing as an initial cost saving measure. In the photo above we are beginning to see the failure of the paint finish along the seam of the bent metal. The failure is either in the paint resin, or the manufacturing process when the finish was adhered to the metal coil. Galvalume has a coating of aluminum over the steel and will likely take more time for rust to occur at the exposed locations of the panel. However, wear occurring along the roof’s drip edge where all the water and snow run off will eventually wear away the aluminum coating once the paint finish fails, and rust will ensue.
Only Aluminum Offers Long-Lasting Protection While Remaining Aesthetic
Paint finish warranties are key to understanding the expected longevity of a galvanized or galvalume metal roof. Aluminum roofing comes with paint finishes, as well, and have their own warranties. The big difference is that aluminum will oxidize/chalk if exposed to the elements, but the aluminum will not look unsightly and continue on with a rapid oxidation process (deterioration/rust), as steel will.
Be sure to visit Classic Metal Roofs website to see non-rusting roofs made with aluminum for your next architectural “metal” roof.

As of late, Chris has been somewhat forgetful. She forgot her doctor’s appointment two months in a row (time to reschedule again). And before she went to bed she even forgot to run the dishwasher (looks like this morning she will need to handwash her coffee cup). Things have been slipping through the cracks. Curiously, Chris doesn’t actually feel forgetful…she just feels mentally depleted and fatigued constantly.
It can be difficult to put your finger on that feeling until it’s sneaking up on you. Frequently, though, the issue isn’t your memory, despite how forgetful you might appear. Your hearing is the real issue. And that means you can significantly improve your memory by using one small device.
How to Enhance Your Memory And General Cognitive Function
So, getting a hearing test is the first measure to improve your memory so you will remember that dentist appointment and will remember everyone’s name at the next meeting. If you have hearing loss a hearing test will let you know how severe your impairment is.
Chris hesitates, though, because she hasn’t noted any signs or symptoms of hearing loss. She can hear in crowded rooms fairly well enough. And when she’s at work, she doesn’t have a problem hearing team members.
But just because her symptoms aren’t apparent doesn’t mean that they aren’t present. In fact, one of the first signs of hearing impairment is memory loss. And it all involves brain strain. It works like this:
- Slowly and almost imperceptibly, your hearing begins to diminish.
- Your ears detect a lack of sound, however slight.
- The sounds that you can hear, have to be boosted and interpreted which causes your brain to work extra hard.
- Everything feels normal, but it takes more work on your brain’s part to make sense of the sounds.
Your brain only has so much processing power which can really be dragged down by that sort of burden. So things such as memory and cognitive function get pushed to the back.
Dementia And Hearing Loss
When memory loss is extreme, the result could be dementia. And there is a connection between dementia and hearing loss, though there are a number of other factors at work and the cause and effect relationship continues to be rather murky. Still, there is a higher danger of cognitive decline with those who have untreated hearing loss, starting with some moderate memory loss and increasing to more extreme cognitive issues.
Wearing Hearing Aids Can Help You Avoid Fatigue
This is why it’s important to treat your hearing loss. Noticeable improvement in cognitive function was observed in 97.3% of people with hearing loss who used hearing aids for at least 18 months according to one study.
Similar results have been observed in several other studies. It’s definitely helpful to wear hearing aids. When your brain doesn’t need to work quite as hard, your total cognitive function gets better. Sure, a hearing aid isn’t an absolute cure, cognitive decline or memory problems can be a complex mixture of factors and variables.
Memory Loss Can be The First Sign of Hearing Loss
This type of memory loss is usually temporary, it’s a sign of mental fatigue more than an underlying change in how your brain operates. But if the fundamental problems are not addressed, that could change.
So if you’re recognizing some memory loss, it can be an early warning of hearing loss. When you first observe those symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with your hearing professional. As soon as your underlying hearing problems are dealt with, your memory should return to normal.
As an added bonus, your hearing health will most likely get better, too. The decline in your hearing will be slowed substantially by using hearing aids. In a sense, your overall wellness, not only your memory, could be enhanced by these little devices.

Publishing non-copyrighted proceedings in an online journal
- December 13, 2010 @ 11:54amsjk says:A faculty member who edits an online journal has a cooperative arrangement with an association that does not copyright its proceedings so that authors have the opportunity to submit their presentations to other publications. She is wondering where her copyright responsibilities lie. She has received no help from the association on this issue.
- December 13, 2010 @ 1:47pmJanetCroft says:This sounds a lot like the arrangements I have with authors for the journal I edit. What she needs is a SPARC Addendum compliant author agreement spelling out exactly what uses she/the society will make of the essays -- for example, it will be published in this collection, this edition may be reprinted if needed, the society may eventaully put it on their website, it will be included in such and such database. These agreements will need to be signed and kept on file -- electronic copies are fine. Then two copies of the completed printed item should be sent to the Libray of Congress. If she would like to contact me and get a copy of our agreement and the exact address at LoC, she can write to email@example.com. If this is being published as a stand-alone proceedings and not as part of an existing series, she may also need to get an ISBN, and I can tell her about that too.
- December 13, 2010 @ 2:06pmsjk says:Thanks for your reply. She is wondering what "not copyrighted" (which she has seen in connection with presentations) means in terms of the author publishing the presentation in another publication. Does it restrict or allow publication? Thank you for your help!
- December 14, 2010 @ 1:26pmJanetCroft says:Not sure exactly what that may mean. Perhaps the author did the presentation under a Creatice Commons license to allow others to use it? Or was it in a proceedings compilation? Perhaps the proceedings as a whole was not copyrighted and eachhh individual author retained copyright to his or her contribution? i'd need a little more detail on that.

General Information on Civil Involuntary Detention
For some persons, a mental disorder or a mental illness leaves them unable to make decisions about caring for their basic human needs such as food, shelter, and medical care. A few people who are experiencing a mental disorder or a mental illness may be in danger of hurting themselves or others. This can be a very confusing and frightening experience for them as well as for their families and friends. With appropriate evaluation, treatment, and continued care, most people with mental illness can return to their normal lives.
Similarly, individuals who are misusing alcohol or drugs may be unable to make decisions about caring for their basic human needs such as food, shelter, and medical care. Alcohol or drug misuse may also place a person in danger of hurting themselves or others.
As with most types of medical evaluation and treatment, people may decide to participate voluntarily, may refuse to participate or may choose alternatives to the recommendations.
For some people, the symptoms of a mental disorder or a mental illness or the effects of alcohol or drug misuse compromise their cognitive or reasoning ability, and they are left unable to understand sufficient information to make decisions about necessary and appropriate medical treatment.
Missouri Statutes, Chapter 632 RSMo, provide the statutory authority to allow involuntary treatment under certain conditions with appropriate due process. This process is called Civil Involuntary Detention.
- Who can initiate a Civil Involuntary Detention?
- If the situation is an emergency, what do I do?
- If the situation is not an emergency, what do I do?
- How long will a person be detained, evaluated and treated?
- What happens in court?
- Will I be asked to testify in court?
- Does Missouri have an outpatient commitment law?
- Do Missouri statutes include "gravely disabled" criteria?
- Are there any other laws that can be used to help persons who are incapacitated by mental illness?
- Does a person have to be homicidal or suicidal before he or she is able to be civilly detained?
Who can initiate a Civil Involuntary Detention?
Any adult person may file an application for detention, evaluation, and treatment with the probate division of the circuit court where the person may be found.
Law Enforcement personnel, under their police power authority, may detain a person believed to be imminently harmful due to a mental disorder or substance use disorder and transport the person to an appropriate facility for evaluation for admission.
Staff of the Access Crisis Intervention (ACI) system, the 24-hour crisis hotline, can also assist with the civil involuntary detention process. By calling the toll-free 24-hour ACI crisis number, the caller will be able to speak to a mental health worker who will evaluate the current situation and assist with the appropriate response.
Facilities that are recognized by the Department of Mental Health to provide civil involuntary detention services have mental health professionals who are designated and approved to initiate on-site civil involuntary detention for individuals in need of emergency evaluation and treatment. These professionals may be psychiatrists, licensed physicians, psychiatric residents, psychologists, nurses or social workers, licensed professional counselors or a qualified addiction professional.
If the situation is an emergency, what do I do?
- If possible and safe to do so, get the person to the emergency room of a hospital that treats persons with mental disorders.
- If the person is currently receiving mental health treatment, call the person responsible for the treatment and that person should provide you with an emergency plan and assist with crisis intervention.
- Call the police or sheriff; tell them about the situation and explain why it is an emergency. If appropriate to do so, the law enforcement officer may take the person into custody and transport the person to an appropriate facility.
If the situation is not an immediate emergency, what do I do?
- If the person is currently receiving mental health treatment, call the person providing the treatment. That person should assist you.
- Call the toll-free 24-hour Access Crisis Intervention (ACI) 24-hour crisis hotline. You will be able to speak to a mental health worker who will evaluate the current situation and assist you with the appropriate response.
- If you have sufficient information that the person has a mental disorder and presents a likelihood of harm, you may petition the Probate Court for civil detention.
How long will a person be detained, evaluated and treated?
The initial period is for up to 96 hours, excluding weekends and certain holidays. After the initial period, the person's treating physician and treatment team will decide if further detention, evaluation, and treatment are needed. If so, the treating psychiatrist and treatment team may initiate a court hearing for the appropriate time frame, 21 days, 90 days, or one year for mental health treatment and 30 or 90 days for alcohol or drug treatment.
What happens in court?
If an application for 96 hours is presented to the Probate Division of the Circuit Court, the judge will decide whether to order the person detained, evaluated, and treated in an appropriate facility for up to 96 hours.
If a petition is filed for commitment beyond the initial 96-hour period, a formal hearing will be held in the court to hear facts supporting the petition. During this hearing the person against whom the petition is filed will be represented by an attorney; if the person cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint one. The judge will hear the evidence and make the final decision as to whether the person will be committed for an additional period.
Will I be asked to testify in court?
If you have observed recent behavior of a person that supports the allegation in the petition, you will usually be asked to testify. Sometimes family members or friends are the only persons who have witnessed harmful behavior.
Does Missouri have an outpatient commitment law?
Missouri has provisions for releasing a person from a mental health facility to outpatient commitment. These statutory provisions allow for a mental health facility to set conditions for a person's release and provides authority to return a person to a mental health facility if the conditions are not met.
Do Missouri statutes include "gravely disabled" criteria?
Yes. The criteria that a person must be mentally disordered and, as a result, present harm to self or others includes a standard that a person may be harmful if, as a result or an impairment, he or she is unable to make decisions regarding hospitalization or treatment as evidenced by not providing for basic necessities of food, clothing, shelter, safety, or medical care.
Are there any other laws that can be used to help persons who are incapacitated by mental illness?
Yes. If a person continues to be unable to make basic decisions because of an impairment, guardianship should be considered. This legal process places the personal decision making in the hands of another person who is legally able to authorize needed services. This law has provisions for limited guardianship that allows the guardian to only have decision-making powers under certain conditions.
Does a person have to be homicidal or suicidal before he or she is able to be civilly detained?
No. Verbal threats to do harm are sufficient, or even placing a person in fear of harm is sufficient. The standard is "a likelihood of serious physical harm to self or others." Past patterns of behavior that have historically have resulted in harm may also be considered.

Ester Shaffer. Lamp. July 16th , 2017.
Repairing Damage: Remove the plug of your plug in hanging lamp once in a while and assess the socket if the wires and connections are good. The continuity of the cord should be flawless. Apply duct tape as needed and non-corrosive grease on all junctions, terminals and plugs to prevent corrosions.
Every year, groups and associations such as the Boy Scouts will find the prized sheds. If you ever discover antler sheds in the wild, it is an amazing occurrence. Antler lamps create that same style in your home and can change your home's ambiance in a beautiful way.
Floor lamps can last a life time if used properly. So if you find a good looking lamp, make sure that it is of a good quality and is durable. Check how sturdy or heavy it is and if the finishing and painting are smooth or not. A floor lamp should be heavy enough not to fall to the ground with the slightest nudge or shove.
The intricate patterns made by the joining of the metal wires create small \"windows\". Each window (panel) is lined with satin, silk or other beautiful fabrics. While quality domestic fabrics are often used today, many individuals choose imported fabrics similar to those in fine Victorian homes.
The Moroccan henna leather lamps are made by professional artisans who have been doing it for centuries and the skill gets passed on from one generation to another. This is the exact reason why these lamps are unique. The best part is that no two henna lamps will have the same design. The lamps are made from goatskin with each section being hand-tied to a frame and finally the henna is applied for creating beautiful designs on the leather. Since so much effort goes into making a single henna lamp hence it is like a piece of treasure and owning one means that you belong to the elite class of people. It will become an integral part of your interior decoration.

Kelly and Herbert Berl ABSTRACT: Two or more fluid motors of the expandable chamber type are connected to a source of pressurized fluid, and are cross-connected to one another through valving, such that the power delivering element operates rapidly with a low force in one direction, (positive force), until a high resistance is encountered. Then a valve shifts automatically to increase the positive force output while the power delivering element the retraction stroke, then the valve automatically shifts between fast, low-force and slow, high-force positions to achieve desirable results similar to those set out above in regard to positive forces.
PATENTED JUN] 5 I97 SHEET 1 BF 2 f cfuai'or rod INVENTOR, Benny M Hzllberry BY: A! My 14? y WM fllorneys MULTIPLE AREA HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR BRIEF SUMMARY The terms po'sitive" and negative" are used herein to designate opposite forces such as pushing versus pulling, or clockwise versus counterclockwise, or lifting versus lowering, and so on.
In many fluid pump-and-motor systems the pump is driven at a constant rate of speed, thereby yielding a constant volumetric output of pressurized fluid. Therefore, the expandable chamber motor driven thereby has a substantially constant speed. At times this is very wasteful of time and power as the operator sits waiting for the motor totake up the slack" or guns the engine" to speed up movement of the tool being driven by the motor. Example: The operator of a hydraulically powered back hoe or other digging or shoveling machine operates a valve or valves to bring the digging tool or shovel to the point of contact with the load. This requires little force and little power, but a large amount of liquid, and a waste of time, as he sits waiting for the tool to move to the point where the load is encountered. If he wants to save time he guns" the driving engine to increase the rate of liquid flow and consequent hydraulic motor movement. Fuel is wasted and parts are worn excessively as the engine roars. Extra power is not needed but faster speed is needed during the low-force part of the cycle. Then the tool encounters the load and high force is needed to dig in." But, the mechanical advantage of the system remains the same and extra force is not available unless additional power is supplied to the driving engine and pump. In some installations the driving engine is a constant speed device, such as a conventional electric motor, and the rates of speed of the pump and the hydraulic motor are constant, too slow under no load conditions, or not enough force for high load conditions, or both.
In many instances, upon retraction of the hydraulic motor, very little force and power are needed. Therefore, a similar loss of time, or inefficient use of power, or excessive wear and wasting of fuel due to gunning the engine" is experienced. Many other examples could be cited to illustrate a need for improvement is pressurized fluid systems of the class described hereinabove.
The present invention teaches a simple, automatic, solution to the problem discussed above. Simple, inexpensive, automatic valving provides the automatic transfer from highspeed-low-force operation to high-force-low-speed operation. And, this is true during the forced reversal of the motor, as well as during the main force delivering part of the cycle.
IN THE DRAWING FIG. I is a sectional view through a form of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a view of a modification;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a further modification;
FIGS. 4 and 5 are sectional views of the valve in FIG. 3, illustrating two positions thereof.
FIG. 1 illustrates a power or force delivering actuator rod 1 projecting from a dual, concentric, piston and cylinder arrangement. Springs 2 and 3 resiliently urge inner piston'valve 4 and rod 1 attached thereto, toward the neutral position illustrated. Cylinder piston 5 surrounds inner piston-valve 4 and cylinder 6 surrounds cylinder piston 5. Valve ports 7, 8, 9 and 10 are provided in cylinder piston 5. Valve ports 12, 12, 13 and 14 in inner piston-valve 4, and fluid passages 15 and 16 in cylinder piston 5 provide for fluid intercommunication in a manner to be described hereinafter. Pressurized fluid is introduced at line 17 into chamber 19 while line 18 acts as a low-pressure outlet from chamber 20, for a positive load on actuator rod 1, or vice versa for retraction of actuator rod 1. Other fluid chambers are provided at 21 and 22 with areas for fluid pressure actuation being designated as 23, 24 and 25.
OPERATION OF FIG. 1
In order to advance actuator rod 1 to the right (positive force) against a load, pressurized fluid is introduced into chamber 19 by way of line 17. As the cylinder piston device 5 is forced to the right, fluid from chamber 20 is expelled through line 18. Also, fluid from chamber 22 flows to chamber 21 by way ofpassages 12, 15, 13 and 11, 16, 14. Piston-valve 4 and rod 1 are forced to the right by spring 3, normally counterbalanced by spring 2. The pressurized fluid acts against areas 23 and 24 inside of chamber 19. These areas are designedly less than the total inside cross-sectional area of cylinder 6. Therefore, cylinder piston 5, piston-vlave 4, and rod 1, are advanced at a rapid rate if the positive force against rod I is insufficient to compress spring 3. If rod 1 meets a high resistance (positive load) spring 3 is compressed as pistonvalve 4 is forced there against. As piston-valve 4 is pushed toward the left fluid in chamber 21 may pass to chamber 22 by way of passages 13, 14, 15, 16 11 and 12. Then, as pistonvalve 4 compresses spring 3, passages 13 and 14 no longer communicate with passages 15 and! 16, but align with passages 7 and 8 instead. Therefore, fluid in chamber 19 may pass into chamber 21 through passages 7, 13 and 8, 14. This-results in pressurized fluid being applied to face 25 of piston 4, thereby adding that area and increasing the force on rod 1 although the rate of movement is decreased.
Upon retraction of actuator rod 1 the force may be either positive or negative. An example of a positive force during retraction is the lowering of an object which was held up by the rod. The entire load that was raised may be lowered, in which event piston-valve 4 remains tight against compressed spring 3 and all of areas 23, 24 and 25 support the load Controlled release of pressure through line 17 permits the load to be lowered gradually.
If a portion of the load on rod 1 should be dumped off, or if the load otherwise becomes lighter than the force exerted by compressed spring 3, then piston-valve 4 would shift to the neutral position. The pressure being bled off through line 17 no longer acts on area 25. Therefore, rod 1 retracts faster, under light positive loads, again reducing waste of time under low load conditions.
There is a slight volume differential between chambers 21 and 22, or a slight difference between their rates of change as cylinder piston 5 moves relative to piston-valve 4 and cylinder closures 21a and 22a. This is due to the volume occupied by actuator rod 1 inside of chamber 22. This differential may be accommodated in several well-known ways, such as by valving, or an accumulator as diagrammatically illustrated at 22b, or other.
As it is being retracted, rod 1 may undergo a negative loading and, instead of pushing, it may pull the load toward the assembly. Under these conditions pressurized fluid is introduced into chamber 20 through line 18. Under light load conditions ports 9 and 10 are closed and rod l is retracted rapidly a low force. However, if the load becomes large piston-valve 4 compresses spring 2. Passages 11 and 12 become aligned with ports 9 and 10 thereby introducing pressurized fluid to the right side of piston-valve 4. Here again the overall piston area is thereby increased and the force available for retraction of rod 1 is increased although the speed is decreased. When the negative force on rod 1 drops below the force exerted by spring 2 piston-valve 4 again automatically shifts to achieve low pressure-high speed movement of rod 1 and the load being actuated thereby.
FIG. 2 illustrates a modification wherein fluid is first introduced into the inner cylinder instead of the outer cylinder as in FIG. I. Fluid in chamber 21' presses against face 25 and rapidly advances actuator rod 1' through the intermediary of spring 2', cylinder piston 5' and yoke 1".
When rod 1' meets a load greater than the force of spring 2' piston-valve 4 continues forward compressing spring 2' but cylinder piston 5' pauses. Fluid from chamber 20' flows through ports 28, 29, passagesIS' 16', and ports 26, 27 to chamber 19'. Change of volume differential between chambers 19 and 20 may be accommodated by accumulator 226. As piston-valve 4' shifts, passages 13' and 14' come into registration with ports 26 and 27 and permit pressurized fluid to pass out into chamber 19 to act against additional piston areas 23' and 24'. This automatically yields greater increased force, although at a slower rage of movement. Fluid in chamber 20' passes out through ports 32, 33 and passages 11 and 12 to chamber 22' and line 18.
Retraction to rod 1 in FIG. 2 is brought about by lowering the pressure in line 17' while pressurizing line 18. The sequence of events and advantages are similar to those described in detail in regard to FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates a modification wherein two more-or-less conventional piston-cylinders are teamed up to achieve results similar to those achieved in the FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 modifications. Cylinders 35 and 36 have pistons and piston rods 37 and 38 projecting therefrom, interconnected by crosshead 39 driving actuator rod 40. At the opposite end attachment member 41 is connected to a valve member 42, spring urged to a neutral position by opposing compression springs 43 and 44. Valve body member 45 contains passages 46, 47, 48 and 49. Valve member 42 (as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and contains passages 50, 51, 52, 53 and 54. The chambers of cylinder 35 are designated 55 and '56 while those of cylinder 36 are designated 57 and 58. Fluid is supplied and expelled through lines'59 and 60. Chambers 57 and 58 are connected to valve body ports 47 and 49 by lines 61 and 62. As piston rod 3% is reciprocated the rate of volume change in chambers 57 and 58 is unequal because of piston rod 38 in chamber 58. If the fluid being used is a noncompressible liquid an accumulator 63 may be provided, or suitable valving may be used, or other weliknown expedient may be utilized to compensate for this difference in volumes.
OPERATION OF FIG. 3 Assuming piston rods 37 and 38 to be extended, pressurized fluid is supplied to line 59 and line 60 is open to drain. As illustrated in FIG. 4, port 46 is closed and fluid from line 59 can only enter chamber 55 to push piston rod 37 to the right, taking with it crosshead 39, piston rod 38 and actuator rod 40. 1 Fluid-in chamber 56 may escape through line 60. Fluid in chamber 58 may pass through line 62 to port 49, through passage 50, port 47 and line 61 to chamber 57. Makeup fluid for chamber 57, as it increases in size faster than chamber 58 decreases, may come from accumulator 63.
While there is light compressional or positive loading between actuator rod 40 and attachment member 41 pressurized fluid is fed only to chamber 55 to extend rod 40 at a rapid rate. However, when (or if) the load increases to a point sufficient to compress spring 43, valve member 42 shifts to the position illustrated in FIG. 5. Passage 51 is then aligned with ports 46 and 47-permitting pressurized fluid to pass from line 59 to line 61 and*to chamber 57. This increases the total piston area against which pressurized fluid is working, and the force exerted by rod 38 plus rod 37 is much greater. (The rate of movement is deceased.) Fluid from chamber 58 is expelled through line 62, port 49, passage 53, port 48 and line 60.
When it is desired to retract or negatively load rods 37, 38 and 40, line 60 is pressurized and line 59 is vented. Pressurized fluid in chamber 56 retracts rod 37, and carries with it rod 38, crosshead 39 and rod 40. Fluid in chamber 57 flows (see FIG.
4) by line 61, port 47, passage 50, port 49 and line 62 to chamber 58. Excess fluid from rapidly decreasing chamber 57 may flow into accumulator 63. Movement is rapid if the negative load is light. When (F) the negative load becomes heavy, valve member 42 is pulled outwardly against the force of compression spring 44. This aligns passage 52 with ports 48 and 49 and aligns passage 54, 50 with ports 46 and 47. Therefore, pressurized fluid can flow from line 60 through 48, 52, 49 and 62 to chamber 58 to assist in retracting rod 40, at a slower rate but with much higher force. Fluid'in chamber 57 may exhaust through61, 47, 50, 54, 46 and 59.

Wow, we’ve been pummeled with bad news the last few months. I won’t revisit all the gory details — y’all know them just as well as I do, but it does seem another leading indicator rears its ugly head on a daily basis, giving us more reasons for shared misery. The latest body blow (as I write this in early November) is the news about consumer confidence dragging. In fact, a University of Michigan/Reuters index report suggests “this holiday spending season will be the bleakest since 1980.”
With all that bad news hitting us, I found it refreshing to read a New York Times op-ed piece last month written by the world’s richest man, Warren Buffet.
In a column titled, “Buy American. I Am.” Buffett says now is the time to get in the game. “Why? A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors.”
Buffet goes on to write: “To be sure, investors are right to be wary of highly leveraged entities or businesses in weak competitive positions. But fears regarding the long-term prosperity of the nation’s many sound companies, make no sense.” It’s not only a good time to jump into the market, according to Buffet and others, but also a great time to reconnect with your clients. According to John Burke of Starboard Asset Management, Inc., this is a great time to meet with your clients and go over their financial plan and reassure them that markets have cycles and that it’s a matter of riding this market back up with your clients.

Which regime do you think is worse - North Korea, or Afghanistan under the Taliban?
It's a tough call for me. I'd have to think about it for a while. What about you?
- JoshuaLv 59 years agoFavorite Answer
North Korea. The Taliban is more like a really powerful organized crime syndicate than a government. They don't have direct control over Afghanistan, but terrorize the tribes and keep them under tribute because there isn't one united power in Afghanistan that can beat them; at least they did until the US came in. The Taliban's position in Afghanistan is more a result of the lack of structure in Afghanistan than their own ability.
North Korea on the other hand is an established government that has terrorized its own people for years. Most of the population in their country lives in concentration camps. The whole country was plunged into a famine when Kim Jong-Il dammed the Taedong River, preventing the flood cycles that made the land arable. The people of North Korea are living 60 years behind the rest of the world and in miserable squalor because of the Kims, and the Kims KNOW it. They're aware of the outside world and do nothing to change the conditions of their people, instead preventing them from learning about the outside world. North Koreans actually believe they're better off than the rest of the world because of state propaganda.
North Korea is sick. The more you learn about it, the worse it gets.

communism is a failed twentieth century attempt and the basically 'communist international locations' now are those who're evolving into capitalism. China as an get together is truly authoritarian yet isn't communist, yet no man or woman has ever particularly executed communism. It replaced right into a absurd some distance left wing desirable that looked tremendous on paper yet as quickly because it replaced into presented on a tremendous scale, the organic greed of the few took over and the international locations were plunged into oppresive totalitarian regimes. they maintain the human beings lower than administration with a siege mentality and hatred of an outdoors impression, contained in the dprk that's united statesa.. Ive have met chinese language human beings international huge and that i have travelled alot, yet I have in no way met a north korean. that's unhappy because each and each of the programmes i see on north korea come to an same end, that folk are managed - and the more severe challenge is all of us study about it because something of the international has spent the mind-blowing 40 years gazing those structures both falling aside or being compelled to adapt. vacationers in north korea are shown precisely what the authorities needs them to be sure, and the almost laugable challenge is, that they trust that we trust what we are seeing. Their minds do no longer artwork like something human beings, we criticise each thing we see, they do no longer, they basically settle for it. Ive heard the country is style of a disney land of communism, which may be relaxing if no longer for the 20 million human beings suffering. it is going to crumple except it is going an same way as china, to adapt. If human beings do no longer study from historic previous then they are condemned to make an same blunders. at the same time as the bamboo curtain finally falls the south and china are going to be picking up the bill. And there'll be 20 million human beings in choose of severe psycological help.

I'd say North Korea because they have the nukes, fortunately they aren't a very aggressive country.
The Taliban hates America and western values in general, not to mention very little regard for human life.
I agree, tough call!
- RileyLv 79 years ago
Neither, it's not up us to be opinionated, on how someone decorates there home, or how they arrange there furniture in it. We wouldn't want people walking into houses, painting the walls a different colour, or move our furniture around, only to suit themselves.
If people don't want something, or someone in there house, they throw it out, and tell them to leave. It doesn't seem like these people want to throw things out, or ask people to leave. If they did, it's up to them to decide what they want, and do it themselves.

Everything seems bad from the outside, this arguement is invalid inless you actually spend time in these places, who's to know which society will survive the longest at the end of time only time will tell.

both regimes are very bad. in north korea you do not live you exist and you are only a numbe or a tool of production. in afganistan you cannot have a peaceful life because of the taliban thay brought the U.S army including some european troops and now they have a never ending war. you can be shot by both sides for no reason anytime. so i think both regimes are very bad
- MrsJohnPhDLv 59 years ago
I've read several books on the Taliban, it was bad.
I haven't read anything on North Korea, just online articles and spoken with a few South Koreans, but it's no picnic their either.
Tough call....thinking and thinking....I would say they are both horrible beyond belief, just different agendas.
- Anonymous9 years ago
N. Korea. It is a top down totalitarian facist communist dictatorship. It starves it's people and has nuclear weapons that are very real concern of certainly the US.
- Sailin_AwayLv 59 years ago
From what I have read I would say the North Korean gulags would put them at the top of the list.
- Anonymous9 years ago
Taliban's Afghanistan is worse. I'm an atheist and an ex-Muslim. I think North Korea would be more suitable for me.

Fanatic! Good to be back with you again. Before anything, thanks to Fanatic Denise for sending in pre-order information for the next Boris album. Looks like there are three different color variants and it’s out in July. Here is the information: https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/boris
As promised, we have the Dead Cross track for you. You can hear the song online with all the language we were not able to include on our show. The full album hits in August on Ipecac.
Speaking of Boris, have you heard the 4LP Boris / Merzbow set called Gensho? Several nights ago, I decided it was time. It had been sitting on the shelf for months. Sometimes, those multi LP sets are hard to take on. It’s another great one. If you were curious about Gensho, we have a track at the end of the show so you can check it out.
I’ve listened to this show a few times and I’m still liking it. I hope you do as well. I will start working on the next show tomorrow. Right now, I’m in a hotel room out in the world, working on two books with as few distractions as possible. I have a good routine. The streets, the gym, the room and then a great sushi place in the hotel.
As always, thank you for listening and we hope you dig the show.
Listen to a lot of music, make lists, document everything and STAY FANATIC!!!

Voting Rights Act
Emboldened by the Supreme Court decision that struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act, a growing number of Republican-led states are moving aggressively to tighten voting rules. Lawsuits by the Obama administration and voting rights activists say those efforts disproportionately affect minorities.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A state administrative law judge is hearing a challenge to the simultaneous use of two conflicting Florida election laws. Judge Thomas Crapps is hearing the case Friday in Tallahassee. The American […]
There are many Americans who do not have a government issued ID. In our country there is no requirement to carry ID. If you do not have a government ID, that does not make you a criminal. That does not make you unworthy of voting.


Congress Supports Cotton Subsidies Despite WTO Issues
Amid efforts to break an impasse on global agriculture subsidies in the Doha trade talks, a Congressional committee on Wednesday was expected to pass legislation that would continue subsidy programs for U.S. cotton growers and other farmers...
WASHINGTON — Amid efforts to break an impasse on global agriculture subsidies in the Doha trade talks, a Congressional committee on Wednesday was expected to pass legislation that would continue subsidy programs for U.S. cotton growers and other farmers and reestablish some federal support for textile mills that use domestic and imported cotton.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa), chairman of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, unveiled a draft farm proposal Tuesday that would reauthorize farm programs for five years. The panel was set to vote on it Wednesday night. The House passed a $292.7 billion bill in July that would pay for several U.S. farm programs, as well as food stamps and nutrition and conservation programs.
The Bush administration and Congress appear to be working at cross purposes on agriculture subsidies. The U.S. has been under pressure from the European Union and developing countries to slash domestic agriculture subsidies, particularly for cotton, in the global trade talks, which have dragged on for almost six years.
Although the U.S. has signaled it is prepared to reduce certain kinds of subsidies, negotiators have been unable to break the stalemate between rich and poor nations over the subsidies and reach a global tariff and subsidy trade accord.
The U.S. is facing pressure from Brazil, which won a World Trade Organization case against U.S. cotton subsidy programs three years ago by arguing that American cotton subsidies depressed global prices for the commodity and were illegal. Brazil said the subsidies cost its farmers more than $600 million in lost sales.
After losing the WTO case, the U.S. was forced in 2005 to scrap a key farm program, known as "Step 2," that provided $2.4 billion worth of subsidies to cotton farmers, textile mills and exporters between 1995 and 2004, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Step 2 program provided federal support to U.S. textile mills that, under the law, had to buy higher-priced U.S. cotton unless the price reached a certain threshold over a period of four consecutive weeks. A WTO dispute panel ruled last week that the U.S. did not go far enough to comply with its earlier rulings that found U.S. cotton subsidy programs breached global trade rules. That means Brazil could have the right to retaliate, if the U.S. appeals the interim ruling and loses, for as much as $1 billion a year in sanctions until America brings the measures into full conformity.Despite the pressure from the global community, Congress is moving forward on at least maintaining current funding levels for many of the farm programs and is considering reinstating federal support U.S. textile mills lost with the Step 2 program. The estimated cost for enacting the House-passed farm bill is $292.7 billion, according to a spokeswoman with the House Agriculture Committee. By comparison, the estimated cost for the 2002 farm bill is $271.1 billion.
Textile producers have pressed for the inclusion of a provision in the farm legislation that would pay textile mills 4 cents per every pound of cotton they use. The House-passed bill contains an "economic assistance adjustment" provision providing the relief, and the Senate draft bill released Tuesday also contains the same provision.
"In a very competitive world, where major textile sectors enjoy huge subsidies from their governments, the Step 2 program made the difference between a lot of mills staying in business or closing," said Cass Johnson, president of the National Council of Textile Organizations. "We've seen major job losses since Step 2 payments were taken away."
Nate Herman, director of international trade at the American Apparel & Footwear Association, said the new provision in the House bill for textile mills looks like a "brand new subsidy."
"We just got rid of one [the Step 2 program] and now we could replace it with a new one and Brazil could easily come back to the WTO" and argue for sanctions, along with other countries, said Herman, who noted the executive and legislative branches appear to be working at cross purposes on this issue.
"If you pass a farm bill similar to what the House passed [in July] it will make it much more difficult to reach a successful conclusion in the Doha Round," said Herman. "The House-passed version of legislation is contrary to the efforts to reduce or eliminate many subsidies, which is a critical step for developing countries and critical to moving the Doha round forward."
Etro’s show, titled “The Tree of Life,” was a celebration of the house’s 50th anniversary. “My father founded the company in 1968, which was the year of counterculture and psychedelia. It’s really a show that celebrates that and the paisley design of India and its origin,” said Veronica Etro. #wwdfashion #mfw #ss18 (📷: @delphineachard)
For @msgm’s spring 2018 show, creative director @massimogiorgetti said “Words, sounds, colors. Synthesis and therapy of a collection,” were the inspirations behind the collection, showing today. Read the rest of Milan spring 2018 inspirations on WWD.com. #mfw #wwdfashion #ss18
For her first solo album in over 10 years, Fergie tapped Carine Roitfeld, Mert and Marcus, Giovanni Bianco and more to create a fashion-focused video approach for the record, Double Dutchess. "Giovanni really helped me get back in touch with my tomboy side, my hardside," said the singer. #wwdeye #wwdfashion ( : @slovekinpics)
