Syria Closes Border With Jordan
BEIJING -- Jordanian officials say Syria has closed all its land border crossings into Jordan, amid continuing unrest in the country.
A Jordanian diplomat says the two main crossings in the south of the country were shut, after Syrian troops entered the southern town of Daraa. But a Syrian official at the Interior Ministry has denied the reports.
25 people are said to have been killed in Daraa on Monday, after the army stormed the city at dawn, firing on protestors. Meanwhile, the White House says it's considering sanctions against the Syrian government, in response to the protest crackdown.
A spokesman for the US National Security Council says the administration is pursuing a range of possible policy options. More than 300 people have been killed in Syria during anti-government protests in recent weeks.

I was reminded of this quote, due to the discussions triggered by the Bitcoin private key database troll website about the feasibility of brute-force searching for the private key of a Bitcoin address.
The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.
A reddit user made some calculations:
So, if you could use the entire planet as a hard drive, storing 1 byte per atom, using stars as fuel, and cycling through 1 trillion keys per second, you’d need 37 octillion Earths to store it, and 237 billion suns to power the device capable of doing it, all of which would take you 3.6717 octodecillion years.

Gasoline prices have clear impacts on development patterns, according to recent research that adds new evidence for the long-term impacts of transportation pricing signals. The new study shows that wage growth and low gas prices contributed to high rates of suburban growth in the 1980s and 1990s, measured in terms of deforestation. Those trends have reversed as gas prices have risen.
We all can identify a walkable neighborhood, whether we live in one or know what we expect to see in one: good sidewalks, connectivity to surrounding areas, and many destinations. But new research suggests those considerations might be significantly different for dog owners. Since more than one third of households own dogs, complexity is thrown into concepts like the “15-minute city” or cities designed for all age groups and abilities.
With consistent growth in most urbanized areas around the world, changes to the built environment to accommodate multimodal travel will become one of our most important adaptations. A recent study from Melbourne, Australia, of pedestrian flows over five years found that built environmental changes accounted for 50-60% of the increase in foot traffic in the downtown region.
In working with transportation agencies across the U.S., our team often faces questions about the role of safety in accessibility analysis. While we know the safety and comfort of streets clearly impacts access for people on foot or bicycle, the effects of accessibility on overall safety haven’t been clear. Fortunately, leading experts in both accessibility and traffic safety recently teamed up to answer this question.
An article in the latest issue of the JAPA makes a case for getting rid of single-family zoning in U.S. cities. The authors argue that single-family zoning exacerbates inequality and promotes the inefficient use of valuable urban land. By excluding other types of development, R1 zoning produces a housing scarcity in desirable places, which pushes prices up and excludes all but wealthy residents.
In a recent study, researchers from Australia look closely at the relationship between parking demand and proximity and quality of service supply of public transit. When other socioeconomic factors were considered, the quality of transit service became much more important than proximity alone in determining parking demand. This will be helpful in the ongoing discussion about where and how to reduce or eliminate required parking as part of development.
A new survey of planning officials in California finds that most are embracing the shift from highway level of service to vehicle miles traveled for evaluating the environmental impacts of new development projects. While some are ditching LOS altogether, however, many still rely on it to measure traffic impacts.
A new study by SSTI and the Traffic Operations and Safety Lab at UW-Madison provides a partial roadmap to the future for transit in smaller cities. The study gave Eau Claire, Wisconsin—a city nearing 70,000 people—a look into emerging transit technologies and insight on their residents’ perspectives toward transit. SSTI also laid out a dozen future scenarios, evaluating each one using accessibility metrics.
Dense development patterns offer important safety benefits, according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania, but high-speed roads in dense suburban centers are deadly for pedestrians. This new study confirms what others have already shown—that attention to context is critical to safe road design.
Seattle is the latest city to move away from traditional definitions of motor vehicle LOS and toward a more multimodal approach in assessing the impacts of new development. On January 14, the Seattle Council is set to vote on new regulations for developments to support changes in adopted transportation level of service. The new regulations will change which development projects require transportation mitigation and increase the minimum size of developments that are subject to a transportation impact analysis.

CO2 price on fuels unfairly burdening lower-income households – report
Clean Energy Wire
Germany’s CO2 price on fuels, introduced in January, is an additional burden for low-income households, according to a report commissioned by the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (vzbv). The report, which examined the distributional and social effects of the CO2 price, also found that higher-income households are benefiting more from government compensation measures intended to alleviate the higher costs: They get back up to a third of extra expenses while some low-wage earners only get back as little as 10 percent. The vzbv is now recommending an expansion of local public transport as well as income-independent mobility allowances and calling for the next federal government to take countermeasures.
“CO2 pricing is an important climate protection instrument,” said vzbv executive director Klaus Müller. “The federal government has failed to implement it in a socially acceptable way for everyone. Low-income households are suffering from rising fuel costs and urgently need political support.” While the commuter allowance has been increased, people with middle and high incomes benefit disproportionately, while those with low incomes receive little, he added. “If the climate and transport transition forgets to take everyone with them, the risk of social division will increase in the coming years, in addition to the CO2 price. The next federal government must immediately decide on additional relief measures for everyone."
The CO2 price on oil and gas has been in effect since 1 January and is intended to make the use of fossil fuels in transport and buildings less attractive and thus contribute to climate protection. The current price of 25 euros per tonne of CO2 corresponds to a surcharge of 7 to 8 cents per liter of petrol or diesel.

A patch of my privet hedge appears to be completely dead: all the leaves are brown and withered, and there are no new shoots. It was quite all right last year. What is the matter with it, and will it recover? If not, can I plant some more privet in its place?
When a section of privet hedge turns brown and does not grow, it is usually because it has been infected with a disease called honey fungus .
You should dig up the dead privet completely, with all its roots, together with one or two apparently healthy plants on each side of it, and burn them; then treat the soil with Bray’s Emulsion (which you may also find under its original name, Armillatox). Alternatively, you can remove the soil in which the privet was growing and replace it with fresh soil. You can replant about two years later. This disease can infect all woody plants, and it is a good idea to destroy any dead wood elsewhere in the garden, as this may also be infected.
There is a white woolly substance all over the leaves and stems of my beech hedge. What is it, and how should I deal with it?
Your hedge is infected with beech scale (Ctyptococcus fagisuga), a tiny insect which is covered with white ‘wool’ for protection from predators. It sucks the sap from the foliage and overwinters in its egg form. Spraying under strong pressure with malathion is a useful control; you should also fork the soil lightly around the hedge, and give it a dressing of well-rotted organic matter in autumn.
I have found two of the largest caterpillars I have ever seen feeding on the leaves of my privet hedge. They are about 75 mm (3 in) long, green with red stripes on the sides, with a short erect tail at the end. What are they, and should I spray the hedge?
These are the larvae of the privet hawk-moth, a night-flying species with a wing span of 100 mm (4 in) and brown in colour. The caterpillars are rarely seen nowadays and do little damage; there is no need for control measures.

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu will soon commission the construction of a US$10 million fish feed plant in Siavonga District, Fisheries and Livestock Permanent Secretary David Shamulenge has said.
The plant to be located on a three hectare piece of land, would be the biggest stock feed plant in the sub-Sahara region.
Dr Shamulenge said this when he toured the site in readiness for the ground breaking ceremony by President Lungu.
The plant would be built by a Danish company, Aller Aqua.
Dr Shamulenge said construction of the plant starts in April and would be completed within one year.
The plant would produce 50,000 tonnes of fish feed annually.
“We are here to see the place where a Danish company will soon start the construction of a fish feed plant here in Siavonga. We will give the private sector the support it needs as Government. As you are aware, fish feed is essential in increasing Zambia’s fish tonnage.
“When the company starts producing 50,000 tonnes of feed per year, this will translate into 30,000 tonnes of fish and we will soon talk about closing the 42,000 tonnes of fish deficit,” Dr Shamulenge explained.
He expressed optimism that with current investment in the fisheries industry, the country would soon become a net exporter of fish.
“The president has put emphasis on developing the fisheries and livestock industry, hence the creation of the new ministry,
and with this commitment, we expect that in the next three years, the country should be a net exporter of fish,” he said.
Yalelo Director, Fisho Mwale, said the fish meal plant would employ 300 local people in addition to the current 300 that his firm had already employed.—NAIS.

Five Stages of the Myth is a series of prints that render and comment on the myth that explains the founding of the Tenganan village in East Bali Indonesia. A project with syntfarm
The starting point of the work were the drawings that Budi Wijaya has provided us with. He visited the Tenganan village and used the technique of frottage (rubbing) to gather material that we would use as an input method for our work.
We scanned his rubbings and by the use of software written in Processing, we generated various forms. Once we printed our renderings, we used the paint thinner to transfer the digital print on to another copy. This technique allowed us to form a cycle in the process: from analogue rubbings, to software generated images and then back to the analogue world through the method of solvent transfer.
The generated forms lead us to come up with a variation of the myth modified by the use of software and computer technology. The important technological aspect of the transfer created a new original, the original that is achieved by using digital copy (or many of the same copies) as the moulds that will always give different results. What was interesting for us were the forms and how they helped us transform the myth, which almost became a secondary focus, almost like a background information that is not important at all.
Every time that a myth is told, there is an element of something new and original when we hear it. Also, the elements of naïve and kitsch aesthetics that are closer to the folklore than contemporary art influenced this work. When we were creating it, we thought about all these elements and we rendered them with our own synthetic aesthetics, use of custom written computer software, highly stylized forms, but still, forms which maybe can help us get closer to the different stages of the myth...


Album review: Mumford & Sons go forward into 'Babel'
• Mumford & Sons, Babel (Glassnote) – More of the same, you might complain. Right, and Green Day isn’t gonna make a country album anytime soon, either, no matter what substance Billie Joe is or is not abusing.
What else should Mumford 2.0 be but more of that same cheerily cathartic nü-folk-rock so many of us flocked to like finding some early Dylan begging to be spun in a jukebox full of Foster the People and Neon Trees? Those of us for whom M&S has never been a novelty, just a much-needed metal-paddle jolt of traditionalism to popular music's heart ... we may have realized going into this sophomore batch that at least a third of its dozen tracks were developed at shows dating back to their debut at the Troubadour almost three years ago. Why would anyone anticipate bold experiments?
Of those tunes that have become familiar to these dandies’ devoted adherents, all are more richly detailed in their studio versions. “Lover of the Light” churns from a plodding refrain to a positively ebullient climax, with Marcus Mumford wailing so mightily, there are times he leaves Dave Matthews looking like a mewling Muppet. That same gritted-then-hollered intensity is poured into “Lover’s Eyes,” but what lifts that one to a fulfilling climax, as is the case so often on the Mumfords' excursion through Babel, are robust horns packing mournful symphonic power.
That same grand air continues on “Broken Crown” late in the playback ... by which point the dramatic swells and overcome passages start to turn rote. But an over-reliance on them is entirely in keeping with the ambition of this complementary second helping. As predictably satisfying a follow-up to a buzzed-about breakthrough as Vampire Weekend’s Contra was, Babel is exactly what fans should expect: not a radicalization but a baby-stepping refinement of what made the U.K. quartet such a soul-nourishing sensation in the first place.

Investigating Beverages Derived from Angiosperm Plants
The need for liquids is even more pressing in humans than the need for food. From earliest times, humans have used plants and their products to produce beverages that refresh and stimulate more than water alone. The most familiar examples of such beverages are coffee, tea, and cocoa (chocolate).
The Origin of Coffee
The consumption of coffee in one form or another has a long history but its exact origins are lost in the mists of time. At first, coffee berries were eaten whole. The practice of roasting the seeds and producing the beverage we would recognize as coffee is believed to have begun in the thirteenth century in Yemen.
By 1500, coffee trees were widely cultivated in Yemen and coffee drinking had spread rapidly throughout the Arabian world. In fact, some of the terms we associate with coffee, like mocha, kava, and even coffee itself, are derived from Arabic terms. First used to keep worshipers awake during long religious vigils, coffee drinking soon acquired social aspects as well.
Venetian traders introduced coffee to Europe in 1615, and by 1700 coffeehouses could be found throughout Europe. The first North American coffeehouse opened in Boston in 1669. Three hundred years later, during the 1960s, coffee houses in the United States experienced a resurgence and became focal points of political debate and socially conscious folk music.
Today, coffee houses are again popular here, specializing in gourmet and exotic blends. They are also becoming popular abroad as evidenced by the thousands of coffee houses that have opened in Japan in the past 25 years. Coffee drinking is still making such inroads that it may soon become the most popular stimulating beverage in the world.
From the Arabian peninsula, coffee cultivation spread to the Dutch colonies of the East Indies and then to the New World into Dutch Guiana and Brazil in the early 1700s. Today Brazil and Colombia are the world’s leading coffee producers.
The Nature of the Coffee Plant
The coffee tree is a small evergreen tree or shrub with shiny leaves. The fruit of the coffee tree is a berry called a “coffee cherry” because it is red at maturity. Within the fruit is a fleshy edible pulp surrounding two grayish seeds. It is these seeds that are used in the production of coffee and so often referred to as coffee “beans.”
Coffee trees can only be cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates and grow best in the cool highlands where the temperature is stable. The plants cannot tolerate the least bit of frost and freezing temperatures can devastate the coffee industry in the affected locale.
On gently rolling hills mechanical harvesters can be used but in steep mountainous areas, the berries are still picked by hand.
How Coffee is Processed
Once the berries are picked, depulping follows to free the seeds from the fruit. The “beans” are then roasted. The type of coffee bean and the temperature and timing of roasting are critical for producing the different varieties of coffee. Light roasts are accomplished around 414-424 F. Dark roasts are produced at around 464 F and black French Roasts at an even higher 485 F.
The different varieties of coffee result from chemical reactions that take place when the bean is roasted. Most brand-name coffees are a blend of several varieties of beans. Varieties are so distinctive that professional coffee tasters can identify the country of origin and even the region where the bean was grown.
Unroasted beans can be stored for long periods, but, once roasted, the beans deteriorate in flavor. Ground beans have even a shorter shelf life, but vacuum packaging slows down the deterioration.
Instant coffee was created by a Japanese chemist in 1901, but did not gain popularity until World War I when it was shipped to U.S. troops overseas. To manufacture instant coffee, brewed coffee must be dehydrated. The most common method is by spray drying; the hot coffee is sprayed through nozzles into the top of a tall building.
As the coffee falls, the water evaporates, leaving a dry powder. Freeze-drying is the latest innovation in the dehydration process. This method involves freezing the coffee under vacuum conditions producing what are called coffee “crystals.”
With today’s more health-conscious public, decaffeinated coffee has increased in popularity. However, the decaffeination process is controversial. Various solvents are used to extract up to 99.7% of the caffeine from green unroasted beans that have been softened with steam and then the solvent is thoroughly rinsed from the beans. Controversy does surround the safety of the solvents used in this process.
Another method has been developed that uses water as the solvent and while less effective at removing caffeine, would certainly eliminate the safety issue of the solvent
Remarkably, the pungent brew made from the grindings of the humble coffee bean has taken the world by storm.

Prep 15 mins
Cook 5 mins
I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I can't - it came from a chef named Diane Morgan, who wrote The Thanksgiving Table. My husband likes Brussels sprouts so I'm always looking for new ways to serve them. This is the best way I've ever tried. Even people who don't like Brussels sprouts like them this way. Try it.
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
- 3 slices bacon, finely diced
- 1⁄2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Trim the stem end of the sprouts and remove any yellow or spotted out leaves.
- Shred the sprouts with the coarse shredding attachment of your food processor.
- Set aside until about 10 minutes before service.
- Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain.
- Set aside.
- Reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
- Just before serving, reheat the bacon fat in the pan until hot and add the sprouts to the pan.
- Saute until crisp-tender and bright green, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the bacon, hazelnuts, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
- Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.
This was just perfect! My bacon was a little lean, so I did add a little olive oil to the bacon fat. I used toasted pecans instead of hazelnuts. I would just love to serve this at a dinner party.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I've made this twice now and LOVED it both times. So easy, and so quick! The first time, I used pecans instead of hazelnuts, as I had them on hand, and the second time I made it as directed. I actually preferred the pecans! I also added a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end, just to offset the richness of the nuts and bacon. Delightful dish, it's going on my Thanksgiving menu next year!
LOVE THIS. It is the perfect way to get the Brussel sprouts-haters to eat them. I agonized over what the "coarse shredder" disc was with my cuisinart: the cheese-grater one or the slicer that has all the little grids like a very tiny french fry thingy (trying to describe). I tried a few sprouts with both and find no difference in chiffonade size, so I guess I was sweating for nothing. I will say that I had not enough fat to make the dish "wet" enough so I added a couple of pats of butter at the end -- so sue me. Next time, more bacon! ;-) mmm, bacon. Oh, and I went with pecans too -- I'm just not the type of cook to have hazelnuts on hand; pistachios, almonds, walnuts, pecans, even pine nuts, but no hazelnuts. Still Adore!

By Clarissa Rios and Sophia Barberini
WASHINGTON DC – Former Democratic U.S. Senator of Wisconsin Russ Feingold and former Republican U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman are calling on President Joe Biden to halt the death sentences of those on federal death row after Trump Attorney General Bill Barr reinstated the federal death penalty.
Feingold and Tolman contend the rise of social media has facilitated a “left-right binary” that polarizes much of the county, allowing people to filter their news intake so that they only see what that which they agree.
This polarization, argue Feingold and Tolman, “has created a false narrative around the death penalty that relies on simplistic and over generalized notions of our country’s partisan divide.” The narrative disregards those voices that express concerns towards the death penalty and how it operates in the country, they said.
Feingold was a Democratic U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, a state that ended the death penalty in 1853, while Brett Tolman was a Republican-appointed U.S. attorney in Utah, a state that continues to implement the death penalty.
Despite their political party differences, both Feingold and Tolman are vocal in their opposition when former AG Barr decided to reinstate the federal death penalty and when Trump did not consider clemency in cases where “questions of competence and sufficiency of evidence were substantial.”
Because the institution of the death penalty can change based on who the President and attorney general is, there can be multiple inconsistencies in how the death penalty is administered, they note, adding “This defies the very essence of the constitutional aim of equal protection under the law.”
As the Supreme Court and Congress have been slow to take any action on the federal death penalty, Tolman and Feingold are calling on President Biden to “use his constitutional authority to commute the death sentences of many, if not all of those on federal death row to appropriate terms in prison.”
Though the death penalty has been framed as a partisan issue, the Trump administration’s “unprecedented executions in the face of serious constitutional or evidentiary concerns” in some instances led to mass bipartisan backlash, they said.
This backlash, from judges, victim’s family members, and religious leaders, stemmed from the fact that in many of these cases, those on federal death row claimed intellectual disability, racial, bias, and prosecutorial misconduct that had never been addressed.
Biden has been vocal in his opposition to the death penalty and Attorney General Merrick Garland has recently instituted a moratorium on federal executions. This has received widespread bipartisan support as more people call on Biden to reduce all federal death sentences.
Feingold and Tolman contend that the death penalty is no longer the bipartisan issue it used to be, as 60 percent of those in the U.S. prefer life without parole to the death penalty, and only 36 percent of people prefer the death penalty.
“People from a range of political, professional and faith perspectives recognize, as we do, that the death penalty has been a failed policy serving only to drain resources and undermine the confidence of a majority of the country in our justice system,” argue Feingold and Tolman.
Further, they insist the U.S. must continue to have conversations surrounding the death penalty that avoid the “our dated stereotypes of Democrats versus Republicans.”
Feingold and Tolman maintain “Biden can and should redress the entrenched unfairness to the inconsistent use of the federal death penalty by being willing to commute the sentences of those on federal death row.”

As one enters the village of Kefalos, one can see the remains of the local Castle. The castle was built of small stones and inside it contained many water reservoirs.
The Kefalos castle is dated back to the Byzantine era. The oldest reference to the castle is dated to 1271. In 1457 tha castle was used in a successful attempt to defend the island from a Turkish invasion. In 1493 and after a destructive earthquake, the castle was almost totally destroyed. As a result, by 1505 the castle had been abandoned.
Today from the deserted ruins, the visitor can enjoy great panoramic views of the bay of Kefalos.

Am having the same issue since the firmware update. The Keyboard also doesnt go into the sleep mode anymore when in wired mode, the rgb always stays on, on the same brightness no matter what settings I use.

More scintillating action from the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline: Montreal has claimed Minnesota forward Brad Staubitz off re-entry waivers and Winnipeg did the same with Columbus defenseman Grant Clitsome.
The latter of those claims could be a prelude to a larger deal. Winnipeg has received offers for UFA defenseman Johnny Oduya and if he’s shipped out, Clitsome is a capable lineup replacement on the Jets blueline. The 26-year-old Clitsome spent his entire career with the Blue Jackets organization, appearing in 93 games over the last three seasons.
Staubitz, 27, had spent the last two seasons with the Wild but was shipped off to AHL Houston after a poor performance on Feb. 9 in a 5-2 loss to Vancouver. He had zero goals, zero assists and (for you mathletes out there) zero points in 43 games with Minnesota this season.

About this product
Part Number: 2956500V
The Baader 2" Herschel Safety Wedge Solar Prism provides high contrast detailed white light solar views.
- For use with refractor telescopes only.
- Superior in resolution and contrast to the best glass objective filters around.
- Provides a true white-light view, does not filter any visual wavelengths.
- Uses precision 2" Zeiss wedge prism and incorporates a permanently pre-installed ND=3.0 filter in the wedge housing.
- Waste energy is sent through Baader's innovative Light Trap.
- Features Baader's 2" ClickLock eyepiece clamping mechanism.
This latest version incorporating an innovative Light Trap developed by Baader Planetarium brings the Herschel Wedge into the 21st Century, by rendering the output energy cool and diffused! In all other Herschel designs, the waste energy is simply deflected out of the rear face of the prism by an angled mirror. Though quite safe with careful use, the user still had to be aware not to place any object (or body part..) into this output beam (and to prevent any casual onlooker from carelessly staring up into the beam). Thanks to Baader Planetarium, this concern has now been completely removed. In place of the typical output mirror is a coated multi-layered perforated steel screen. The bright light and heat energy are harmlessly diffused. Even after prolonged observations through large refractors, the light trap remains cool. You can even place a hand below the output and no heat can be felt (also, no tempting hazardous bright light output for careless eyes to see).
Baader CoolCeramic Heat Cage! Baader offers two versions of their Herschel Wedge: Visual V
The Solar light enters into the prism body and falls onto a 45° inclined prism surface. Approx 4.6% of Solar light is reflected into the eyepiece or camera respectively. The much larger percentage of light (95.4%) is fed into a separate “heat cage” which includes a special heat-absorbing ceramic tile. Like on a space shuttle the ceramic tile traps the radiant energy without overheating its surroundings. The body of the Baader Safety Herschel-Prism is closed on all sides which prevents any danger of contacting direct Sunlight, making it safe for educational work. Since the “heat cage” is separated from the prism body and connected only with four screws, there is virtually no heat distribution extended into the prism itself.
The translucent ceramic tile also acts as projection screen showing an unfocused image of the Sun so aiming the telescope at the Sun is now easier than ever before.
The Version-V for visual use comes with a pre-installed ND=3.0 (required for safe viewing) filter and a 2" Continuum Filter.Photographic P
The Version-P for photographic use is essentially the Version-V with three additional Baader ND filters (ND1.8, ND0.9 and ND0.6). The additional filters are handy for further dimming the image for white light viewing, or attaching to eyepieces or a T2-15 Reducer, and are particularly useful for imaging.
All of the fine-optically polished genuine Baader ND filters incorporate special anti-reflection multi-coatings to minimise light scatter and ghosting for maximum image contrast. The result is image quality unachievable with any other ND filter.
Baader Herschel Wedge Instructions and safety information.
1. The Baader Herschel Wedge must only be used with Refractor telescopes with metal and glass construction, not plastic. Telescopes with apertures 70-120mm work particularly well. Larger apertures can cause the rear heat trap to become uncomfortably hot.
2. Not suitable for use with Petzval or other telescope designs with a rear lens element positioned close to the focuser drawtube.
3. Due to production standards, the 2“ nosepiece in front of the Baader Safety Herschel-Prism features a 2“ (M48) filter thread. However - never mount a 2"“ filter in front of the Baader Herschel Wedge! Any filter mounted into the full beam of Solar energy so near to the focus point will become extremely hot and damaged within seconds (see safety advice, page 3 in manual). Filters must only be mounted above the exiting side of the prism.
4. Solar observing is dangerous and can be hazardous to eyesight. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, please use the correct equipment and read the safety notes supplied with the products carefully.
|Average Rating (1 Review): |A superb white-light solar filter

I bought this for my Tak FC100 DF, and it works superbly. The 2" size and ceramic-based design allow for a nearly complete heat dissipation. The image quality is also outstanding, particularly at high magnifications, assuming decent seeing conditions.

U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders released an HIV/AIDS platform outlining how his administration would tackle the epidemic and ensure that the 1.2 million Americans living with the virus have access to affordable drugs.
“We must do everything possible to end the greed of the pharmaceutical companies and get people the medicine they need at a price they can afford,” says Sanders in a press release for the HIV/AIDS platform. The plan is detailed on his website on a page titled Working to Create an AIDS and HIV-Free Generation.
How does Sanders plan to make this a reality? According to his platform, as president, Sanders would create a Prize Fund for HIV/AIDS worth more than $3 billion per year to be used as an incentive for medical research and drug development. The platform explains: “Instead of a system where the market is manipulated to keep out all competition, companies would be rewarded for their innovation with a cash prize for their medical innovations, rather than through the grant of a monopoly. Under Bernie’s plan, drugs would have generic competition immediately after FDA approval.”
Other items spelled out in the HIV/AIDS platform include:
- Reduce barriers that keep lower-cost drugs from entering the United States from other countries, and stop trade agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership that would increase prices of HIV meds in many countries
- Establish a universal health care system—in other words, a Medicare-for-all, single payer system
- Expand substance abuse and mental health services for people living with HIV or at risk for HIV
- Expand the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, which provides access to HIV-related services, and ensures that people with HIV/AIDS have access to housing
- Expand civil rights protections for LGBT people and those living with HIV
- Expand the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to double the number of people on HIV treatment globally by 2020.

Belief skate shop, which recently closed its 29-20 23rd Avenue location, is moving two blocks away to 24-01 29th Street. It plans to open its new space toward the end of September.
The owners relocated to the new store in pursuit of a more affordable space—as their lease had come to an end.
Raffie Gordon, a co-owner, said that they were very fortunate in finding the new space—since the new location is closer to the Astoria Blvd subway station than their old store and the rent is affordable.
“Being close to the subway is big because that’s where people get off to go to Hoyt Park and the skate park at Astoria Park,” he said.
The new location will not change how the business operates. Belief will continue to sell skate boards, accessories, sneakers and clothing.
Gordon said that ‘Belief’ recently launched its own clothing brand.
“We are focused on building our brand in this store,” he said.
Gordon said he and co-owners Phil Gordon and Jimmy Collins were determined to keep the business in Astoria when their leased ended.
“We wanted to stay as close to our old location as possible,” he said. “We want to keep our customers.”
All three owners live within walking distance to the store.
Collins was the first to move to Astoria, prior to opening the business. The trio noticed a need for a skate shop in the neighborhood.
“Astoria didn’t have a skate shop, so people had to go to Manhattan or Brooklyn to buy supplies,” Raffie Gordon said. “We knew skateboarders lived here, but there was no shop where they could go.”

A benefits fraudster is to be evicted from the home he was illegally subletting - while living in a shed in the garden himself.
John Gallagher, 65, was jailed for ten months in August, after admitting five counts of fraud that netted him more than £95,000 in rent and benefits.
Gallagher moved into the four-bedroom house in Strode Road, in Fulham, London, about twenty years ago. However, rather than living in it himself, he advertised the rooms on Gumtree and moved into a converted shed in the garden, complete with ensuite bathroom.
He charged his tenants as much as £700 a month, plus £100 for bills. Meanwhile, he claimed thousands in income support, pension credits, housing benefit and council tax benefit.
And his activity was only spotted when a Hammersmith and Fulham council worker was tipped off about an ad for the rooms - and noticed that the phone number given was the same as Mr Gallagher had supplied when applying for a council parking permit.
But while Gallaher has been in prison, the house has been lying empty - and, now the council has been given a possession order and told that it can finally terminate his tenancy.
"We will always pursue cases like this to ensure our housing stock is returned to those who genuinely need it," says Lisa Homan, Hammersmith and Fulham Council's cabinet member for housing.
"Mr Gallagher tried to cheat the system and thanks to great work from our housing and fraud teams, he is now behind bars and a much-needed home can be returned to proper use."
Unlawful subletting of a social housing property became a criminal offence under the Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013: research had shown that as many as one in five council house tenancies was fraudulent. But it's only this year that the first cases have started to come before the courts.
The Act allows councils to prosecute tenants, leading to a fine of up to £5,000 or imprisonment for up to two years. Courts can also order fraudsters to hand over any profit from the scam back to the council.

If you’re considering purchasing a power wheelchair, you may be wondering if your insurance will cover the cost. While coverage may vary depending on your insurer, some general guidelines can help you understand what to expect.
You can learn more about how insurers usually cover electric wheelchairs by reading on.
The amount that insurance companies cover for motorized wheelchairs varies, but it’s typically a percentage of the total cost. For example, your insurer may cover 50% of the cost of a power wheelchair, up to a certain amount.
When deciding whether to cover the cost of an electric wheelchair, insurance companies typically take a few factors into consideration.
- The type of wheelchair needed
- The medical condition that requires the use of a wheelchair
- Whether the motorized wheelchair is for everyday use or only for special occasions
- The age of the person who needs the wheelchair
- The location of the person who needs the wheelchair
Insurance companies may also require documentation from a doctor stating that a power wheelchair is medically necessary.
Insurance Coverage for Power Wheelchairs
The amount that insurance companies cover for electric wheelchairs varies, but it’s typically a percentage of the total cost. For example, your insurer may cover 50% of the cost of a motorized wheelchair, up to a certain amount.
If you’re unsure exactly how much insurance will cover, be sure to check with your insurance company.
What Type of Power Wheelchair Can I Choose?
Insurance companies may place certain restrictions on the type of electric wheelchair covered. For example, they may only cover wheelchairs for everyday use and not those for special occasions only.
Before you purchase a motorized wheelchair, make sure you inquire with your insurance company about any restrictions they may have.
Can I Get a Power Wheelchair if I’m Under Age 18?
In most cases, insurance companies will not cover the cost of a power wheelchair for anyone under the age of 18. A wheelchair may be appropriate for some individuals with certain medical conditions.
If there are any age restrictions in place with your insurance company, confirm this with them.
Can I Get a Power Wheelchair if I Live Overseas?
Insurance companies typically do not cover the cost of electric wheelchairs for people who live overseas.
A power wheelchair will likely cost you more if you live outside the United States.
How Do I Get a Power Wheelchair Covered by Insurance?
You should check with your insurance company directly to ensure that your motorized wheelchair is covered. If you have a medically necessary power wheelchair, they will tell you their specific coverage guidelines. Documentation may also be required.
Generally speaking, electric wheelchairs are considered durable medical equipment (DME) and are typically covered by insurance. However, there may be restrictions on what types of wheelchairs are covered. For example, if you need a wheelchair capable of climbing stairs, your insurer may not cover the cost.
In addition to coverage for the wheelchair itself, most insurers will also cover repairs and replacements as needed. To receive coverage for a motorized wheelchair, you may need a note from your doctor.
Suppose you’re unsure whether or not your insurance will cover a power wheelchair. In that case, it’s always best to contact your insurance company directly. The insurance company will explain what is and is not covered under your policy.
Electric wheelchairs can be an excellent option for those who need a wheelchair for everyday use but are unsure if their insurance will cover the cost.
Most insurance companies will cover at least a portion of the cost of a motorized wheelchair, but there may be restrictions in place.
When you need to know exactly what is covered and what isn’t, it’s best to speak directly to your insurance company.

Japan will launch a climate research satellite in December to analyze and forecast global warming-linked environmental changes, the science ministry said Friday, according to a news article in Kyodo News.
The satellite, named Shikisai, will be placed in orbit 800 kilometers above the ground from where the satellite will conduct long-term monitoring of cloud cover, levels of dust and aerosols in the atmosphere as well as ocean color, vegetation, snow and ice cover on the earth's surface.
The launch, planned for December 23, is intended to improve the accuracy of global warming forecasting and to help tackle associated problems, according to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The Shikisai satellite will be carried by an H-2A rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan together with a low-altitude test satellite, which will travel in an orbit with an altitude lower than 300 kilometers according to the Japanese science ministry.
The Super Low Altitude Test Satellite, named Tsubame, is equipped with an ion engine that will be assessed for its ability to maintain speed and altitude in low orbit. The lower orbit has been undeveloped and is yet to be fully used by satellites, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
While traveling in a low orbit brings benefits such as the ability to capture high resolution observations for optical images, the Tsubame will be exposed to atmospheric drag approximately 1,000 times greater than that of most Earth Observation satellites at an altitude of 600 km to 800 km, the space agency added.

THE HAWAIIAN CRUISE
After retiring in 1983, the author in order to alleviate a severe case of boredom, decided to buy and rebuild
an old wooden boat. While searching through a list of books on the subject in a bookstore far from the sea,
the book CRUISING IN SERAFFYN by Lin and Larry Pardey was found, examined and purchased. After
review, the author decided that cruising would be in order rather than rebuilding and further, should be more
fun. At the time it was noted that Seraffyn was a Lyle Hess designed boat and by chance also noted several
Hess designed boats for sale as advertised in various sailing magazines, namely two Northsea 27s. The
Northsea 27 is of fiberglass construction and is as indicated in the photo above, both boats were constructed
by Heritage Marine of Long Beach, California, now out of business. After inspection by the author of both
boats and a hull survey on one, an offer was rendered and after some negotiations, a sale/purchase was
completed. Unfortunately, the author relied on his own judgment in regards to an engine survey, this
judgment was somewhat faulty to say the least since after 20 hours or so, the engine burned almost the
entire oil supply.
Since a future cruise was planned, it was decided that an engine overhaul was necessary, so an engine stand
of wood was constructed and the engine was removed from the mounts in the engine compartment to the
cabin. Then using a boom vang attached to the boom above, the engine was hoisted out of the cabin and by
the way of the boom and the topping lift, and then swung out over the dock and lowered onto the stand for
overhaul. After following verbatim the instructions on how to overhaul diesel engines in a book by Nigel
Calder, MARINE DIESEL ENGINES, the little 8hp inboard Yanmar was overhauled, the problem was a
cracked piston skirt. After reinstallation the engine started on the second stroke.
The purchased boat had been single handed all the way to New Zealand and back to the U.S. by the first
owner, retired Patent Lawyer Rolf Pitts. The first owner was by necessity a purist, his only navigation
equipment was sextant and compass, there was no autopilot aboard, he had a system of tying off the jib
sheet to the tiller by the use of surgical rubber bands and rope lanyards and apparently, the system worked
since it was all singled handed work. Apparently the first owner was a skilled navigator since while in the
U.S. he taught a class in celestial navigation. Since then, the author has not at any time seen a cruising boat
so bare of cruising essentials and apparently this was due to the impecunious condition of the previous
owner. Further, the engine was essentially a rusty hunk of iron which was surprising to say the least for a
man with an engineering degree, okay maybe for a man with a law degree but not an Engineer. He had both.
So after overhauling and cleaning the engine, adding a monitor wind vane, re teaching himself celestial
navigation, and after many trips to Catalina, reading all the books on the subject, the author was of the
opinion that he knew all there was to know about cruising. So then a cruise to Hawaii was planned.Â All of
the necessary stocking, provisioning and planning was done to include a weather check the evening before
departure and in addition, the author consulted with a friend and obtained some detailed instructions as how
to heave a boat to in heavy weather. The next morning dawned bright and clear and passage was
commenced from the Cabrillo Marina in San Pedro, CA.to and around the west end of CatalinaÂ Â arriving
late in the afternoon, there was no wind and passage was by motor sail. After rounding Catalina, the wind
piped up to such an extent that the engine was shut down, sails set and the monitor wind vane was engaged,
the wind increased in force to about 18 to 20 knots and thus the boat remained underway all that night, the
next day and the next night The second night, the wind increased considerably, some where between 30 to
40 knots, the main was double reefed and shortly thereafter, the jib was secured altogether therefore putting
the boat in a semi-hull to position with a reasonable motion, there were no seas breaking over the boat.
Therefore, the author decided he needed some crew rest and retired to the aft lee berth, this was just before
sun rise on the third morning out. After about an hour of rest, the author awoke to notice water flowing
along the lee liner which consisted of wooden strips so therefore, the author got up to investigate and noted
that the boat was heeled over at a considerable angle, the lee toe rail was well under water and the wind had
again increased, swells were breaking over and onto the boat causing a considerable din and crash on the
fiberglass hull. As the author was considering his options, there was a loud roar and hiss as a giant wave
broke over and on top of the boat, probably a ton or so of salt water, causing the boat to roll to lee to such
an extent the mast was well under water. The impact was a loud crack similar to a rifle shot which threw
the author against a wooden support thus lacerating the right cheekbone, can goods were tossed up out of
the floor lockers, water mixed with oil flowed about the boat and the satnav was tossed out of its mount.
Waves were crashing down and breaking over the boat to such an extent that there was a fine mist coming
from the portholes and water was squirting between the hatch boards and over the top of the boards and
into the cabin onto the lee berth.
The author then struggled out to the cockpit, blood dripping from the lacerated cheek down onto the foul
weather gear, the log was checked and it was noted that the mileage from San Pedro was 208 nm, the wind
was blowing to about 50kts and the waves were up about 10 to 12 feet with white crests and square. An
attempt to heave the boat to by back winding the jib in accordance to the instructions of a friend however,
the bow simply would not swing around to position so the engine was cranked with an immediate low oil
pressure light. After Checking the engine compartment, the source of the oil in the cabin with the water was
noted, an oil line had broken and apparently while motoring the first day most of the engine oil was pumped
into the bilge. Due to this problem and also due to the considerable amount of water in the cabin, it was
decided to abort the cruise and return to San Pedro. At this point the author was somewhat concerned with
his predicament and thought that if he could get close too land, the boat would be beached and he would
hitch hike home leaving the boat to the tender mercies of the locals. The boat was the brought about and left
in a hull to position with only the double reefed main up, jib secured, making about two knots forward in the
direction of land.
The author then went below, replaced the loose can goods and other provisions that were thrown up from
the lockers, the satnav was replaced onto its mount but was damaged when it was thrown out onto the
cabin sole and there fore did not work. The bilge was not up to the cabin sole but was high and was pumped
out. Later it was discovered that the source of the water in the bilge was a stuck anti-siphon valve in the
bilge pump thus allowing water to be siphoned into the boat and then sloshed up into the cabin when the boat
rolled. When the engine was overhauled, the author had noticed an extensive rust spot on the oil line but
decided not spend the time ordering a new one due to the impending cruise, this is where the line broke.
Then, an acute case of seasickness commenced and continued for the next three days or so to such as
extent that neither food or water could be retained and it seemed that every time the author passed the head,
a period of retching ensued and as indicated this went on for several days.
The boat was in a hull to position for about two days and three nights, the wind never abated, on an average
of 5 to 10 minutes or so, the waves would break over and down onto the boat with a crash and roar with a
ton or so of water on topside and as outlined above, water would squirt through the hatch boards and mist
through the portholes. The author during this period was quite concerned, some would call it fear
particularly when the sea would break on top of the boat and the boat would roll thus placing the lee toe rail
well under water. In flying, terror only lasted a few seconds, you were either dead or escaped, in this
instance it lasted for days. Due to the seasickness, the author became dehydrated and began to grow weak.
Also, during this time, due to the generosity of the previous owner, a year old radio direction finder set was
left aboard and after tuning in radio station KNX of los Angeles and a San Diego Station and then crossing
the bearings on the chart, a fix was obtained indicating the boat was about 125 miles off the coast of Baja
and above Isla San Martin.
On the morning of the third day, the wind abated to about 20kts or so the author went topside in order to get
the boat underway only to find the jib sheet fouled around the spreader bars, the author by this time was in a
very weakened condition due to the dehydration and inability to retain food or any type nourishment or
water. After a struggle, the spare sheet was attached to the jib but since it was mounted to the rear of the
mast, the jib could only be partially set but never the less, the boat was under way. Soon thereafter, the
author was able to retain water, then orange juice and then thankfully food and some strength was recovered
and the boat was underway and under sail for the next two days.Â Sometime during this period, the author
was able to clean himself, shave and remove the blood caked beard and clean the blood from the foul
weather gear, when the boat was sold in 1996, there was still blood stains on the teak cabinetry. During the
late afternoon of the second day, the boat became becalmed and that night the lights of airliners were seen
overhead going in only one direction, and therefore the author was confident that the boat was off the west
end of Lindberg Field, San Diego, even though no city lights could be seen. Leaving on the anchor light, the
author went below for a well deserved rest but was awakened at about 3:00A.M. by the sound of the wind
and the boat was again put under way on a west to northwest wind of about 18kts. This continued all day
until in the early evening after sundown, the boat again became becalmed but this time shore lights, a seawall
and a hill could be seen which appeared to the author as being San Pedro but later proved to be Dana Point.
The same routine as the evening before was repeated, the author was again awakened at about 3:00 A.M. by
a rising wind and again the boat was put underway in the predawn darkness. As visibility increased at
sunrise, for the first time in about eight days the author got a positive fix in that the office buildings of the
Irvine Center were recognized and subsequently Newport Beach and the entrance to the harbor.
The wind increased and now the boat was on a close haul, hard on the wind proceeding on a west to
northwest heading taking aboard water with the lee toe rail well under in an effort to complete the passage
and make San Pedro. Since the entrance to Newport Beach harbor was abeam, it was decided to give it up
due to the rising wind, enough was enough so the boat was jibed over to the opposite tack traveling at hull
speed to the harbor entrance. An effort was made to short tack up the narrow harbor channel in the strong
northwesterly but due to extreme fatigue, the boat was anchored well out of the channel and the harbor
patrol was called on the VHF requesting a tow to the transient anchorage at the end of lido Isle. After about
two hours, harbor patrol arrived and the boat was towed to the transient anchorage for a well deserved rest.
The following morning, the dinghy was launched and the author proceeded to shore and called a friend who
arrived the next day and helped the author sail the boat back to San Pedro. Another friend was called and
she seemed surprised and taken aback by the author's return stating "I guess you want me to come and get
you". Well, that was not exactly a hoped for greeting under the circumstances and the author wanted to go
home before the next morning so his answer was in the affirmative. She then stated that she had given her
landlord notice and was going to move into the author's house while he was on the cruise and since he was
not in position to negotiate, he acquiesced. Prior to departing, arrangements had been made with the friend
whereas her two college student children would house sit for the author who was under no illusions as to
the likely condition of his house on return but also considering the tender mercies of a burglar,A decided the
children would be the best of two poor choices and damages would be considered as just part of the cost of
going. However, the friend moving in with her children was not part of the bargain. Nevertheless, she
moved in but after about three weeks the author decided love and romance from afar with mileage in
between had been better and suggested to her that she would probably be happier elsewhere. Recriminations
ensued, she flounced out making it quite clear that love and romance was concluded between us, and it was.
