Automotive radar sensors are often a vital component of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Radar sensors require recalibration after certain events to ensure optimal performance. In this article, we will explain what ADAS radar is, how it works, and why it’s vital to calibrate.
The word “radar” is an acronym that stands for Radio Detection and Ranging. This technology has been in use since before World War II to track the speed, position, and direction of ships and aircraft.
Radar systems emit radio waves, a type of electromagnetic energy that can be sent into the air. These signals travel at the speed of light. These waves reflect back fromobjects in the radar’s path and are processed by the radar receiver. These returned pulses enable the radar to determine the distance and position of objects, relative to the radar system’s position.
What is an ADAS radar sensor?
ADAS radars are automotive radar sensors mounted to vehicles to ultimately provide drivers with safety alerts and enable safety maneuvers like Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Cross-Traffic Alert, and Blind Spot Monitoring.
Vehicles can have forward and rear mounted ADAS radar sensors, to inform different safety systems. Forward-facing radars are typically mounted in the vehicles front bumper or grille. They help monitor forward distance to other vehicles and obstructions. In vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control, they also help control the following distance to forward vehicles. Additionally, the radar sensor in car bumpers are mounted in a vehicle’s rear corners help to detect closer-range objects that are approaching from the rear.
How do automotive ADAS radar sensors work?
An ADAS radar sensor uses radio waves to detect vehicles and other obstructions in the environment. The time it takes for the pulse to return allows the computer (ECU) to calculate the other vehicle’s speed and direction.
Once determined, a vehicle’s ADAS systems use that sensor information to provide you with visual, haptic or audible safety alerts. In addition, depending on the specific ADAS system technology, radar sensor data can also be of use to take temporary control of driving functions such as braking, accelerating, steering, and so on.
There are three different automotive radar ranges used:
|Range (in meters)
|For detecting objects in close proximity
|Rear vehicle corners
|– Blind Spot Detection – Rear Collision Warning – Rear Cross Traffic Alert
|Typically utilized by vehicles as they navigate around town because it’s more effective at detecting objects at medium distances.
|– Front Cross Traffic Assist – Lane Change Assist
|Typically used on highways and in specific areas with high traffic density like interchanges and junctions.
|Forward facing, near the front bumper or behind the grille
|– Automatic Emergency Braking – Adaptive Cruise Control (& Traffic Jam Assist) – Forward Collision Warning
Pros and Cons of Radar for ADAS
Radar-based ADAS technology is best for collision warning and automatic emergency braking systems. It has the following advantages:
- One of radar’s main beneficial safety features is that it functions well in a variety of light conditions, such as at night or during the day.
- Radar is an all-weather solution. Operating conditions such as temperature and humidity have no effect on radar-based systems.
- Radar can easily distinguish between stationary and moving objects.
- Can detect multiple items at the same time.
Even with all the benefits radar offers, it has a few drawbacks.
- Detecting small objects with radar is difficult for shorter wavelengths.
- Existing radar-based ADAS do not work well in closed environments such as tunnels
- It can be difficult to detect an object that is static if its relative velocity is the same as the moving object.
- Interference from other radars causes accuracy problems.
Overall, radar-based ADAS are quite reliable and can operate in almost any situation.
How does radar compare to other ADAS technologies?
By definition, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) use sensors including cameras, lasers, and radar, to collect advanced information about the environment surrounding the vehicle. Data collected by ADAS radar sensors works in tandem with data from other ADAS sensors to provide a more complete picture of a vehicle’s surroundings.
Radar is often compared to other ADAS technologies, such as cameras and lidar. Cameras are the most common type of sensor in ADAS and they work well for detecting objects that are stationary or slowly moving. They’re not particularly good at detecting fast-moving objects because the time it takes for a camera to snap a picture is long in comparison to how quickly objects move. Lidars are like cameras, but they use light instead of radio waves. They’re also good at detecting objects in relatively close range (less than about 300 feet), but not for fast-moving or far away objects.
Radar sensors are much better at detecting moving vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects than cameras or lidars. They can see objects that are far away and moving quickly, which is why they’re of great use in many ADAS. Radar sensors also work well in all weather conditions, including rain, snow, and fog. Cameras and lidars can’t see through most types of harsh weather.
Each sensor type has pros and cons. That’s why it’s common for automakers to include multiple types of sensors that complement each other.
Here are some pros and cons:
|Detects in bad weather and in the dark
|Doesn’t have high resolution at range (trouble telling bicycles from motorcycles)
|High resolution at range Very accurate 3d modeling and object detection
|Lesser 2D resolution than camera Can’t see through bad weather as well as radar High cost Requires significant computing power
|High resolution Closest to human vision, detecting colors and 2D shapes Relatively low cost sensor
|Sunlight can blind them Poor vision during low visibility weather Contrast is an issue Depth information not available
ADAS Radar Calibration: Why it’s vital.
A car radar sensor can become misaligned due to fender benders, alignment changes, and adjacent repair work. This can cause them to give inaccurate readings. Some radar sensors are self-calibrating, but most are not…yet. Automotive radar calibration ensures that the sensor properly aligns and provides accurate information to your vehicle’s ADAS.
It is important to calibrate your automotive radar sensor after structural repairs, sensor removal or replacement, and removal of the front bumper or grille, to ensure that your car’s ADAS systems are operating as intended. If the radar is not calibrated correctly, it can provide warnings, steering, and braking interventions either too early or too late.
Calibration of automotive radar sensors is a complex process requiring a controlled environment, specialized equipment, precise measurements, and in-depth training. It’s not something you can do at home. Most auto shops don’t have the equipment necessary to handle ADAS calibrations. Due to several ADAS implementation problems, standalone calibration centers are fast becoming the solution when it comes to providing efficient, effective, and reliable calibration of ADAS sensors.

Matt Adams and Shane Robinson each drove in three runs and the Cardinals once again went on a homerless scoring binge as they routed the Phillies 11-3 on Wednesday night. It was the Cardinals' third straight win and fourth in five games since the All-Star break. Jake Westbrook pitched seven innings and got the win improving to 7-4. He allowed one run through six and didn't walk anyone. Adams drove in two runs in the second on a single through the right side and added another with a double in the gap in left center in the Cards' five-run fifth. He came around to score when Robinson who started because manager Mike Matheny didn't want to stall Jon Jay's hitting recovery by pitting him against a lefty cleared the bases with a triple. Phillies center fielder John Mayberry Jr. tried to make a diving catch of Robinson's sinking fly ball but missed badly and the ball got past him allowing the fleet Robinson to make it to third. It was the Cardinals' 25th win this season without a strikeout which is their most at this point in the season since 1991. Brock Peterson got his first big-league hit in the eighth a smash that second baseman Chase Utley couldn't handle. The Cardinals had another sellout crowd 44317 which put them over 2 million fans for the 18th straight season. CARDS KEEP POUNDING TAKE 9-3 LEAD Presented with a chance to get some run Phillies manager Charlie Manuel pinch hit for starting pitcher John Lannan in the fifth and the move didn't work twice. John McDonald grounded into a double play to end the inning and reliever J.C. Ramirez got shelled. Three of the first Cardinals to face Ramirez doubled on shots into the gap in left center and then a bases-loaded triple by Shane Robinson gave the Cards a 9-1 lead after five innings. Allen Craig led off with a double and after Yadier Molina fouled out David Freese drove in Craig with his own double. Matt Adams followed with another double to score Freese giving him three RBIs on the night. Pete Kozma walked Jake Westbrook sacrificed the runners to second and third and Matt Carpenter walked to load the bases for Robinson. Center fielder John Mayberry Jr.'s diving attempt on Robinson's sinking fly ball didn't even come close and the ball went past him with Robinson getting to third before left fielder Laynce Nix got the ball back. Carlos Beltran who's 0 for 4 and the only Cardinal not to reach base then fouled out to end the inning. In a classic moment on the big screen after the inning a guy proposed to his girlfriend during the Kiss Cam segment. However much of the moment was lost because one of the recycling guys got between them and the camera and then when he heard people yelling saw himself on the big screen and started mugging for the camera oblivious to what was going on behind him. Indications are the girl said yes. Westbrook had thrown only 71 pitches through six innings so he went back out fo the seventh and the Phillies scored twice. That was it for Westbrook who was pinch hit for in the bottom of the inning by Daniel Descalso. Westbrook allowed nine hits but didn't walk anyone in his seven innings.

The Ruger LCR series of revolvers are small, powerful handguns packed with the latest in technological innovations.
The Ruger LCRx series offers the LCR with longer three-inch barrels and low-profile external hammers, resulting in a double action/single action revolver.
As a result—unlike many revolvers with external hammers—the LCR cannot shoot in single action mode and is double action only.
First introduced in 2009, the LCR was a clean-sheet design unlike any revolver Ruger, or any other handgun manufacturer for that matter, had ever built before.
Largely displaced in the 1980s by a frenzy of interest in low-cost, high capacity 9-millimeter pistols, new interest in these short, compact revolvers was led in the late-2000s by the Ruger LCR, an entirely new revolver design that skillfully blended steel, aluminum, and even polymer into a very lightweight weapon.

PARTS OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
A Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system is named as such as in such a system electricity (voltaic) is generated from light (photo). The electricity thus generated is clean and renewable. There are various components of a solar PV system as described below –
Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels
Net Energy Meter
Other Electrical Equipment and Protection Devices
WORKING OF A SOLAR PV SYSTEM
In a solar PV system panels are connected to produce electricity. The panels are connected with the solar PV inverter which is able to draw maximum amount of available power from the panels. Since the electricity produced by the panels is in DC form and the loads in any building work on AC current, the solar inverter converts the DC electricity into AC form and feeds it into the main distribution panel of the building.
The solar electricity is used in the building in case there is a requirement, else it is exported into the grid.
For accounting for import of conventional electricity from the grid and export of solar electricity into the grid, a Net Meter (also called Bi-Directional meter) is used.
Now there are two scenarios in which the system could be functioning as illustrated below:
Case 1: Net Consumption
Case 2: Net Generation
Case 1: Say, in a summer evening, the Sun is dim but you have kept your lights, fans, air conditioners, etc. on. At this time, your PV system might be generating less than your actual power requirement. In this case, you would end up consuming power from the PV system, as well as importing balance power from the grid. In this case too you electricity import from the grid is drastically reduced.
Case 2: Say, on a bright Sunday afternoon, you have gone out with your family to watch a movie. At this time, the power consumption in your home would be negligible, but your PV system would be at its peak. In this case, the extra electricity generated by your PV system would directly be exported into the grid, and your ‘net meter’ would deduct this exported electricity from your account.
The on-grid solar PV system turns off in-case of grid outage to prevent electricity from being fed into the grid as a safety measure. However in case of a hybrid solar PV system, the solar system functions in an off grid mode too and provides back up power to critical loads.


The wife of an Australia Capital Territory (ACT) [Canberra] firefighter who died in Victoria on Tuesday says he was repaying a debt to those who helped fight the 2003 Canberra bushfires.
David Balfour, 47, from Gilmore in the ACT, was killed by a large tree branch while connecting a hose to his strike team's tanker in the Victoria Fire at Yarra Ranges National Park.
A professional firefighter of 10 years' service with the ACT Fire Brigade, Mr Balfour was part of a team of 120 Canberra firefighters who were on their final shift in Victoria. Celia Balfour said her husband loved the fire brigade and the fire brigade family with whom he worked for 11 years. "David served with distinction in the January 2003 Canberra fire disaster and felt that his deployment to Victoria was repaying a debt of honour to those who had come to our community's aid after our experience with tragedy," Ms Balfour said in a statement.
"The family and I are accepting of the fact that he was doing the best job he could to give back to the community for his fortunate life." Ms Balfour said her husband, to whom she was married for 20 years, was her soul mate and anchor. "He gave us direction as a family and he was very easy-going with simple needs. A good cup of Earl Grey tea, mostly." David is survived by Celia and their three children aged 14, 13 and 10. Before joining the ACT Fire Brigade in 1997, Mr Balfour was an electrician who volunteered for the Rural Fire Service. He is the first member of the ACT brigade to die while on duty. Fellow professional firefighter Ged Morrison says Mr Balfour was a strong family man and devoted father. "His family came first and the fire brigade came second," a clearly upset Mr Morrison told reporters in Canberra. He was holding a framed photo of his smiling mate. Mr Balfour always thought of others first and was outgoing and fun-loving, Mr Morrison said. "It was a pleasure and an honour to work beside him." As a professional firefighter, his friend since childhood wouldn't have thought about the dangers, Mr Morrison said. "That's just part and parcel of our job; "This time it was unfortunate for David to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was a freak accident." The terrain in Victoria was unknown, difficult and steep, with the constant threat of falling trees, Mr Morrison said. He finished his deployment down south as Mr Balfour was starting his. "It's one of the more dangerous situations I've been in my career."
Battling the 2003 fires in Canberra was a matter of necessity, but heading to Victoria was a choice, Mr Morrison said. "This time David put his hand up for Victoria because he wanted to give a little bit back." Mr Balfour's family are in a state of disbelief and shock, but are being supported by the firefighting family, he said. "We are a brotherhood and we are closely supporting Celia and her family in this great time of need." The 47-year-old was a mentor to junior firefighters and qualified as station officer. He was in line to be promoted when a station officer post next came up. The ACT has sent four taskforces to Victoria in the last 10 days comprising more than 500 professional and volunteer firefighters and support staff. The fourth deployment headed to Victoria on Tuesday, but after news of Mr Balfour's death broke, the ACT Fire Brigade members decided to return to Canberra.
The United Firefighters' Union (UFU) wants brigades to observe a minute's silence to mourn the passing of the Canberra firefighter. The UFU has asked each platoon to observe the silence on Wednesday as crews commence shifts. "Mr Balfour was a well respected elected officer of the United Firefighters' Union, ACT Branch who served his fellow fire-fighters and the community at the highest level," UFU national secretary Peter Marshall said in a statement. "It is extremely sad that a person with such a strong record in promoting community safety has paid the ultimate price for its protection. Meanwhile, authorities say they will learn from the death of the Canberra firefighter.
Ewan Waller, chief fire officer of Victoria's Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) [Forests] said the death "strikes at the heart of the firefighting fraternity". There will be an investigation into the death, as per common procedure, Mr Waller told media. "We'll take the learning’s from this and they will be applied; "So, even though we have a death, there will be improvements and we will learn from it." He said firefighter safety was paramount. "In the bush setting in particular, falling trees are a hazard and will continue to be a hazard," Mr Waller said. The dead firefighter's crew has already been replaced by a crew of 100 firefighters from the ACT. While some ACT firefighters had chosen not to make the trip, the fresh reinforcements had arrived in Alexandra, near Marysville, to keep working on the fire, Mr Waller said.
Emergency Services Commissioner Bruce Esplin said the firefighter's death underscored the seriousness of warnings for people to stay away from fire scenes. "We've talked a lot about asking people to stay away from these areas for various reasons, to allow people to grieve and recover and start their rebuilding, but also because it's unsafe," Mr Esplin told reporters. "You're in the way, you don't need to be there, you're affecting emergency services and you're affecting the community, so please stay away." All Victorians are grateful for the support of interstate firefighters, Mr Esplin said.
Russell Rees, Country Fire Authority (CFA) chief officer said Victorians were mourning the death of the ACT firefighter as if he were one of their own. "The very fact we have had a number of injuries and a death means that firefighter safety is something we have to consider in our actions," Mr Rees said. All the ACT firefighters affected had received counselling at the scene and would continue to do so at home, authorities said.

This paper describes a microfluidic system and a technique for electrically measuring the deformability of red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs are deformed when they flow through a small capillary (microfluidic channel). The microfluidic device consists of two stages of microchannels as two measurement units for measuring cell size/volume and cell deformability. A low frequency voltage signal is established across the microfluidic channel, and electrical current signal is sampled continuously when RBCs pass through the measurement areas. Mechanical opacity is defined to mitigate the coupled effect of cell size/volume and deformability. The system performed tests on controlled, glutaraldehyde-treated, and heated RBCs using a number of driving pressures. The experimental results proved the capability of the system for distinguishing different RBC populations based on their deformability with a throughput of ∼10 cells s-1.

DanceNOW at Joe’s Pub, Dorothy, Annie, and Maria
Last night I had the pleasure of attending DanceNOW’s presentation Dorothy, Annie, and Maria at Joe’s Pub. The show consisted of three works commissioned by DanceNOW over the past 10 years. The performance began with Nicholas Leichter Dances’ The Wiz, continued with The Bang Group’s Showdown, and ended with Doug Elkins Fräulein Maria. Each of these works are a contemporary take on a classic musical.
I love Joe’s Pub for its intimacy. The stage is tiny, the tables are cramped, and the drinks are, well, available. Although it can be challenging to find a good view in the house, Joe’s Pub always wins me over with its charm. I mean, what could be better than an evening of dance, drinks, and dimly lit table tops? For dance performances, the layout of Joe’s Pub offers a unique challenge. Because the stage is small and irregularly shaped, staging works under these conditions force companies to contend with a variety of spatial constraints. Witnessing how choreographers cope with Joe’s Pub’s unique setting is half the fun of attending dance performances there.
Nicholas Leichter Dances’ The Wiz takes songs from the beloved musical by the same name and implants them in contemporary underground New York. The movement is interesting, however at times the staging came off as a bit two-dimensional. Leichter’s work is influenced by a variety of social dances. Although his dancers were talented, there were moments when I felt the social aspect of the choreography took over and I lost the sense of performance.
Of the works presented last night, The Bang Group’s Showdown stood out to me. The piece, set to music from Annie Get Your Gun was a delightful mix of seamless partnering, and brilliantly timed comedic moments. The company succeeded in making Joe’s Pub’s stage look big! An impressive feat especially when you consider that the piece had a cast of 8 dancers, most of whom were tall and long. The dancers movements were consistently full and the staging was flawless. The Bang Group’s choreography succeeded in being witty without appearing contrived.
The last piece of the evening, Doug Elkins Fräulein Maria, was another high point of the night. The piece was brought to life through Elkin’s intricate choreography and the artistry of his dancers. The acting chops of the dancers really stood out as they brought their characters to life telling stories in even the slightest of facial expressions. The movement throughout Fräulein Maria is engaging. I am always impressed by how Elkins manages to make strange moments appear graceful and coherent in his work.
The performance is playing for one more night, Feb 16th at 7pm. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.

Jurgen Klopp drops hint about remaining Liverpool signings
Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool's Champions League qualification could boost their transfer dealings
Jurgen Klopp has hinted that qualifying for the Champions League group stage could make it easier for Liverpool to wrap up some further signings before transfer deadline day.
The Reds booked their place in the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition on Wednesday night thanks to their impressive 4-2 victory over German side Hoffenheim at Anfield.
Liverpool will now compete in the group stage of the tournament as they look to make it through to the knockout round, as Klopp takes charge of the Reds in the Champions League for the first time since his appointment at Anfield back in October 2015.
The Merseyside outfit continue to be linked with a number of players this summer as Klopp considers further bolstering his squad ahead of the close of the transfer window next Thursday.
And the Liverpool boss has admitted that being able to offer Champions League football to prospective signings could help them to make the transfers they are after.
Speaking at his post-match news conference at Anfield on Wednesday night, Klopp said: “It’s [Champions League qualification] a big influence on the transfer market, especially if we do it more often.
“I said I think before the game, if you talk to a player, they really often [mention it]… especially players we talk to. We don’t have to talk to players which are not better than our players because it’s difficult to find.
“I know a few people think differently, but we do a lot of work and it’s not that easy to find 20 players in this position that are better, 20 players in that position that are better. But if you talk to them, they say if you would play in the Champions League, it would be really interesting because the club is great, the manager is not too bad and all that stuff.
“Or even if you try to extend a contract with a player in the squad, [they might say], ‘Yeah, I want to play Champions League’ and I always think ‘It’s your job to do it with us together, so don’t ask that we do a job and you cannot play Champions League – do it with us together.
“That’s what this team did, and that’s why I am so happy about it. 14 months’ hard work and we did it – nice!”
Liverpool now turn their attentions towards their crunch clash against Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday afternoon as they look to build on their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend.


An air chuck is an essential tool for any machinist. These small but powerful devices are used to inflate tires and other inflatable items with ease and precision. Whether you’re a professional mechanic working in a shop or just want to maintain your vehicle at home, an air chuck is a must-have item in your tool box. In this article, we will explore the various types of air chucks available, their uses, and how to choose the right air chuck for your needs.
There are several types of pneumatic chucks on the market, each designed for a specific purpose. The most common type is a clip-on air chuck, which is designed to attach securely to the tire’s valve stem for hands-free operation. This type of air chuck is ideal for inflating tires on cars, trucks, bikes, and other vehicles. Another popular type is the pistol-style air chuck, which features a trigger handle for easy and precise control of airflow. This type of pneumatic chuck is typically used in industrial settings or heavy-duty applications.
In addition to these standard types, there are also specialized pneumatic chucks designed for specific tasks. For example, double-ended air chucks are designed to inflate two tires at the same time, making them ideal for vehicles with two-wheel setups such as RVs, trailers, and heavy-duty trucks. There are also air chucks with built-in pressure gauges that allow you to monitor inflation pressure while you work. No matter what type of vehicle you have or what your specific needs are, there is likely a pneumatic chuck that will meet your requirements.
When selecting a pneumatic chuck, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application. If you primarily work on cars and bikes, a clip-on air chuck may be your best choice. If you work in a shop or on a heavy vehicle, a pistol-style air chuck may be more suitable. Consider factors such as the size and type of stem you will be using, the pressure range you will need to operate in, and any special features such as a double-head or pressure gauge. By carefully considering these factors, you can ensure you choose the right pneumatic chuck for your needs.
Once you have selected a pneumatic chuck that suits your needs, it is important to use it correctly to ensure safe and efficient operation. Start by attaching the air chuck securely to the valve stem, making sure it is fully seated to prevent air leakage. After attaching the chuck, turn on the air compressor and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Use the trigger or lever on the pneumatic chuck to control the air flow, gradually adding air until the desired pressure is reached. Be sure to monitor pressure using a built-in pressure gauge or a separate gauge to avoid overinflating your tires.
All in all, an air chuck is a versatile and essential tool for anyone who works with tires or other inflatable items. By understanding the different types of pneumatic chucks and choosing one that suits your needs, you can ensure safe and efficient operation. Whether you’re inflating the tires of a car, truck, bicycle, or heavy vehicle, there’s probably an air chuck that will suit your needs. With proper use and maintenance, air chucks can provide years of reliable service, making them a valuable addition to any toolbox.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill marking June 19th as Juneteenth National Independence Day.
What We Know:
- Juneteenth is the commemoration of slavery ending in the U.S. in 1865. Former President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, ending slavery in the U.S. However, slaves in Galveston, Texas, were unaware of the proclamation and remained enslaved. On June 19, 1865, two months after the Civil War ended and Confederate General Robert E. Lee conceded, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and informed the slaves that they were officially free.
- Those who celebrate Juneteenth do so by having picnics or cookouts with family and friends or attending parades or festivals held throughout their city. With Galveston being the birthplace of the holiday, the city holds many Juneteenth events and receives a large number of visitors to celebrate the holiday. Last month, the city unveiled a 5,000 square foot mural titled “Absolute Equality” that celebrates U.S. Black troops and is placed where Granger informed the slaves of their freedom. Texas made Juneteenth a state holiday in 1980, and through the years, every state, except South Dakota, honors the holiday in some way.
- The push to make Juneteenth a federal holiday comes from the civil unrest experienced throughout 2020. The police killing of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor reignited the Black Lives Matter movement, prompting protests against police brutality and racism across the country. With the increase of protests around the world, conversations of the treatment of Black Americans in the U.S. throughout decades increased as well.
- In response to the protest, various companies gave their employees June 19th off, which pushed the notion of making Juneteenth into a federal holiday. In 2020, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) initially blocked a bill asking for Juneteenth to be a federal holiday because he felt it would cost too much to pay federal employees PTO. Ultimately he changed his mind and voted yes with the majority.
“Although I strongly support celebrating Emancipation, I objected to the cost and lack of debate. While it still seems strange that having taxpayers provide federal employees paid time off is now required to celebrate the end of slavery, it is clear that there is no appetite in Congress to further discuss the matter. Therefore, I do not intend to object,” said Johnson.
- While Juneteenth is on its way to becoming a federal holiday in the U.S., educators are fighting against laws removing critical race theory from their criteria. Last month a few states started adopting bills that dictate the type of material educators can teach regarding race and racism in the U.S. Although the bills focus on critical race theory, educators feel like they already don’t teach on the subject, and instead, the bill is stopping them from touching on matters of race in general.
- Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) signed a bill that states that educators are forbidden to teach things like “one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex or that someone should feel discomfort, guilt or distress on account of their race or sex.” Educators believe their jobs are at risk if they decide to touch on the racial events of the past year or if a student brings it up, and they respond. Many educators in Oklahoma were going to speak on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre but now feel as if they are pigeon-hole on how deep they can drive into the subject.
If confirmed, Juneteenth will be the 11th federal holiday celebrated in the U.S. The bill now needs the approval of the U.S. House of Representatives before it can be given to President Joe Biden for signature.
Former NFL Champ Nate Burleson joins CBS Mornings
Former NFL player Nate Burleson has officially made his hosting debut on the newly branded morning talk show, CBS Mornings.
What We Know:
- It was announced earlier this month that Burleson would replace Anthony Mason. Previously Mason joined Gayle King and Tony Doukoupil as host of the former CBS This Morning. The show was rebranded in tandem to the relocation of their set to Times Square and Burleson joining the cast.
- Since 2017, former NFL player Burleson has been the host of Good Morning Football on the NFL Network and has served as an analyst on The NFL Today on CBS. Burleson will continue his role on The NFL Today.
View this post on Instagram
- Burleson is the second former NFL player to join a network morning TV show, with Michael Strahan playing a major role as a co-host on ABC‘s Good Morning America.
Burleson credits Michael Strahan as the ‘blueprint’ for his career path, explaining, “He’s one of those individuals that I took a liking to once I retired because he rewrote the blueprint. I don’t want to say that he is the blueprint, because there has been plenty of players that have transitioned out of the game into TV. There have been African American men and women before him that have done the same thing, but he is a guy that has shown me the lay of the land, especially being a transplant from the West Coast to now New York.”
Classes canceled at Howard University as US Government investigates ransomware cyberattack
Howard University officials along with leading cyber experts are trying to assess what has been compromised in an active ransomware, cyberattack on the HBCU campus. Officials have deemed the attack criminal.
What We Know:

Polo G Reportedly Arrested in Los Angeles on Concealed Weapon Charge
Polo G was arrested on in Los Angeles on Monday, TMZ reports.
What We Know:
According to the outlet, Polo G was arrested after police allegedly found a concealed firearm on the Hall of Fame rapper, which TMZ points out is a felony. The supposed discovery of the firearm occurred when a vehicle Polo G was a passenger in was stopped.

Highlights: The Chlorella sp. ESP-6 cells were cultivated in photobioreactor at 1.1gl-1. The cells were disrupted by grinding, ultrasonic and microwave treatments. Chitosan and PACl+chitosan were applied to coagulated algal cells. The presence of coagulants lowers the lutein yield from algal biomass. Affine adsorption of lutein onto chitosan molecules occurred via hydroxyl-amine interaction. Production of algal lutein included cell cultivation, biomass harvesting, cell wall disruption, and subsequent purification if needed. This work cultivated Chlorella sp. ESP-6 cells in photobioreactor to a biomass content of 1.1gl-1 and then the freezing-grinding, ultrasonic treatment (20 and 42kHz) and microwave treatment were used to disrupt the cell walls for recover intracellular lutein. The grinding recovered more lutein than ultrasound or microwave pretreatment. Single coagulation using >30mgl-1 chitosan or dual-conditioning using 10mgl-1 polyaluminum chloride and 10mgl-1 chitosan effectively enhance sedimentation and membrane filtration efficiency of algal suspensions. However, the presence of coagulants lowers the lutein yield from algal biomass in the subsequent 20kHz ultrasound treatment and purification process. Simulation results revealed affine adsorption of lutein onto chitosan molecules via hydroxyl-amine interaction. The possible drawback by pre-treatment stage should be considered together with the subsequent recovery stage in whole process assessment.

An ex-executive cautioned Bud Light that failing to develop a strong plan to win back customers in the coming months might result in long-term market share losses.
Retailers are anticipated to start reallocating the restricted shelf space in September based on sales information from the previous months.
According to Anson Frericks, in the instance of Bud Light, that would entail a decreased presence moving forward as a result of the controversy surrounding its brief collaboration with a transgender influencer.
Before leaving Anheuser-Busch in April 2022, he served as president of sales and distribution for Budweiser’s American parent company. He told the Daily Mail that after this “reset,” competitors like Coors Lite and Yuengling would continue to be more visible fixtures in shops.
The fact that those brands have more shelf space, inventory, back-stock, and consumer availability means that they are more likely to succeed in the long run.
After working for the mega-brewer for more than a decade, Frericks cofounded his own asset management company. Frericks’ warning comes after data suggested that Modelo Especial, a beer from Mexico, may replace Bud Light as the nation’s favorite foamy beverage this year.
Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch, issued an apology for the controversy two weeks after Dylan Mulvaney posted an Instagram advertisement for Bud Light. He said his company “never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.”
The clock is ticking
Quickly a while later, Budweiser distributed another promotion with enthusiastic symbolism underscoring its longstanding roots in America’s heartland. However, an impromptu beer boycott continued as the pivot was perhaps an overt attempt to reconnect with conservative customers.
As a result, Frericks warned Anheuser-Busch that it has only a limited amount of time to devise a strategy that can put an end to the controversy.
The former sales executive stated, “It needs to make a statement about who their customers are and who they’re going to serve now, and try to regain those customers now in June and July, because it’s too late by August and September.”
Frericks had previously issued a warning toward the end of April regarding the dangers that businesses face when they sacrifice their apolitical market position to support environmental, social, and governance issues, which could result in them losing more customers than they gain.
Moderate reaction for brands
Bud Light is additionally by all accounts not the only item targeted of moderate buyers.
Target’s stock price is believed to have fallen to levels not seen in more than a decade as a result of the company’s sales of tuck-in swimsuits during Pride Month.
Michel Doukeris, Chief of Anheuser-Busch proprietor Stomach muscle InBev, tried to assuage financial backers last month by contending the contention was not because of a formally authorized crusade yet rather only one can utilized in one Instagram post.
But Doukeris’ Bud Light appears to be paying for that one can.

Marcell Ozuna is the current starting left fielder for the Miami Marlins and represents another key ingredient for the future of this team. Fellow Fish Stripes contributor toledomudhen recently laid out reasons to keep Ozuna under wraps with the Marlins at least until next year.
The 26 year old Ozuna was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and is another one of the Marlin’s “home-grown” rising stars. Marcell is not without some MLB pedigree in his lineage as he is the cousin of former MLB player Pablo Qzuna. In 2008 at age 18, Marcell was signed as by the Florida Marlins as a undrafted free agent.
Minor League Ball
Ozuna’s five seasons in the minors and parts of two others began in February, 2008 where he started his professional career with the DSL Marlins. Even at an early age Ozuna’s potential as a power hitter was obvious. He hit six home runs and drove in 43 runs in 63 games. In 2009, he played for the GCL Marlins and started 2010 with Greensboro in Single A ball. After recovering from a wrist injury that same year, Ozuna landed in short season ball with Jamestown, where he exhibited his power once again hitting 22 home runs in 74 games while slugging at a .532 clip with an impressive OPS of .838.
Marcell’s steady rise and progression through the minors continued with a stop in Greensboro in 2011. Injury free, he belted 23 home runs and sported an OPS of .812 in 131 games. Arguably his breakout year occurred in 2012 when he played 176 games between the High A Jupiter Hammerheads and the Dominican Winter League, Gigantes del Cibao. He smashed 33 home runs, collected 122 RBI and had an OPS of .790. Please don’t turn up your nose at the time he spent in the Dominican Winter League either. Some of his teammates that year included MLB players Nelson Cruz, Alexi Casilla, and Jean Segura. How cool would it be to spend a week in the Dominican some winter just watching guys like that play baseball?...but I digress.
After spending the start of the 2013 season in the minors (Jupiter/Jacksonville), Ozuna made his major league debut on April 30th. He played in 70 games for the Marlins that year before a thumb injury cut his rookie year short. He hit .265 but had only 3 HR’s and an OPS of .693.
Since 2015, Qzuna’s hitting has steady improved, despite a hiccup and brief demotion to the minors for 40 games in that same year, (much to the displeasure of his agent Scott Boras). Ozuna’s batting average has trended upwards from 2015-2017 YTD from .259/.266/.311. His slugging line is .383/.452/.560 and his OPS numbers are following suit at .691/.773/.936. His OPS+ this year is 146, WAR 5.0 and Ozuna has 31 home runs which ranks him tied for second among NL outfielders. He is, additionally, above average defensively and sports a DRS of 7.
OK, so what’s the problem? Two words......Scott Boras. Ozuna is under team control for 2018 and 2019, where he will be arbitration eligible and an unrestricted free agent in 2020. For the Marlins to have any chance of signing Ozuna, they will have to act sooner rather than later or Ozuna will be sure to test the free agent waters under Boras. When Marcell made his major league debut in 2013, he was called up to fill a spot vacated by Giancarlo Stanton who was injured at the time. Ironically, the only way for the Marlins to afford Ozuna may be to unload Stanton and his enormous contract. It’s difficult to envision them being able to afford both players in the future.

Excerpt From The Course
ROSE FAMILY (ROSACEAE)
Approximately 100 genera and 2000species, herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.
LEAVES mainly alternate.
FLOWERS are regular with 4‑5 petals and sepals, Stamens 5 too many borne on edge of calyx tube, ovary superior or inferior; fruit is a berry, pome or drupe.
Genera include: Cotoneaster, Cretagus, Cydonia, Eriobotrya, Filipendula, Fragaria, Geum, Kerria, Malus, Neillia, Photinia, Prunus, Pyracantha, Pyrus, Raphiolepis, Rubus, Sanguisorba (Burnet), Sorbus and Spiraea.
There are species and varieties of the genus "Rosa" which can be grown in almost any climate, provided the right type is chosen for the particular situation. Most species tend to adapt better to cooler climates than to warmer climates.
Roses are broadly divided into the following groups:
BUSH ROSES: These grow into an upright bush up to about 2 metres tall. The three main types are: Hybrid Teas (give the biggest and best flowers), floribundas (greater quantity but less quality in the flowers, and grandifloras. Some old world species are grown as bush types also, but these are less common.
STANDARD ROSES: These are budded onto long, single, upright stems giving the effect of the bush sitting high in the air on a pole. Standard roses are anything from 1 to 3 metres tall.
RAMBLERS: These are very vigorous, usually untidy growers which make a lot of new growth each year from the base. They have large quantities of small flowers in bunches.
CLIMBING ROSES: These have fewer basal shoots, larger flowers either individual or in small clusters, and solid, thick climbing stems.
MINIATURE ROSES: Growing from 1 to 2 ft tall, stems are thinner and flowers are smaller than normal bush roses. In affect, they appear as scaled down versions of the floribundas or hybrid teas.
*Roses prefer full sun for at least half of the day. As they have a shallow fibrous root system, avoid planting near large trees which have shallow spreading roots.
*Most soils, provided they are not waterlogged, are acceptable. Roses tolerate a wide variety of soil types, but do prefer reasonable drainage.
*Watering is essential if a rose is to flower well. Mulching can help. Don't let them dry out. It's better to make a dish in the soil at the base of a plant and fill it with water to allow slow penetration. You are better not to water the foliage.
*Roses do respond well to feeding. Don't allow the roots to come in contact with strong (i.e. concentrated) fertiliser though as they will burn. A slow release fertiliser or well rotted manure is best.
*Annual winter pruning is essential to both rejuvenate the plant and to encourage growth of young wood (flowers form on these young shoots; the more young shoots, the more flowers). Usually (in temperate climates) at least half of the top growth is removed each winter.
Plants pruned regularly can last more than 100 years.
*Roses are largely sold bare rooted in winter. You will buy the best selection of plants early winter when they are first released onto the market.
*Aphis and caterpillars are major problems. They can be controlled with suitable insecticides Black spot, mildew and rust are common fungal problems fungicides are normally used to control these).
*In snow areas cut plants back very hard (i.e. 95%) and cover with straw over winter.
(NB: Roses are usually budded. Do not cut below the bud).

For the better part of the past decade it had appeared that Tim Burton had lost his mojo. As a fan of his earlier works it felt as if he was just “going through the motions” of directing in order to collect millions if dollars. Everything from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to Alice in Wonderland have felt soulless and empty. It comes as no surprise that Burton’s last good movie was his 2003 Big Fish, being that it shares the same emotional power as Frankenweenie, his stop-motion animated feature inspired by his 1984 short of the same name. Burton deals with loss in both Big Fish and Frankenweenie, something that every viewer can relate to. It’s a bit sad that he had to mentally take himself back to ‘84 to reconnect with audiences, but what he delivers is an overtly emotional animated film that’s not only touching, but also eternal.
Frankenweenie, based on Burton’s short and penned by John August, takes us back to Burton’s childhood when the only things important to him were his dog, his parent’s acceptance, and movies. In what could be described as a dark and twisted poetic tale of life, Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) loses his dog Sparky only to revive him in an homage to “Frankenstein.” When the town’s kids find out, they also attempt to bring back their pets, only to dire consequences.
Horror fans will juice over Frankenweenie as it takes the classic tale of “Frankenstein” and mixes in an epic homage to Godzilla, The Mummy, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Wolf Man and more. It’s such a heartfelt and authentic take on Mary Shelley’s novella that it should make the creators of that fraud ParaNorman weep.
And unlike the horrendous Corpse Bride, the stop-motion was beautifully choppy (it drives me crazy when they smooth out stop-motion in post, which completely defeats the purpose). The animation itself is absolutely stunning, especially the sequence where Victor brings Sparky back from the dead. But much credit goes to the direction of Burton, who chooses to tell much of the story from the perspective of Sparky. You can tell that he really wants the audience to fall in love with Sparky before his ultimate demise (it wouldn’t be shocking at all if you teared up twice by the end credits.)
I don’t think Burton has ever connected with his audience like this. While Frankenweenie may not be the best movie ever made, it’s overflowing with passion, creativity and genuine heart. It comes from a place where filmmakers begin their careers, a place deep within the solar plexus that just bleeds with energy and ingenuity. I may have written Burton off too soon, because this could be the beginning of his career…

In March 1896 a well-disciplined and massive Ethiopian army did the unthinkable-it routed an invading Italian force and brought Italy's war of conquest in Africa to an end. In an age of relentless European expansion, Ethiopia had successfully defended its independence and cast doubt upon an unshakable certainty of the age-that sooner or later all Africans would fall under the rule of Europeans. This event opened a breach that would lead, in the aftermath of world war fifty years later, to the continent's painful struggle for freedom from colonial rule.
Raymond Jonas offers the first comprehensive account of this singular episode in modern world history. The narrative is peopled by the ambitious and vain, the creative and the coarse, across Africa, Europe, and the Americas-personalities like Menelik, a biblically inspired provincial monarch who consolidated Ethiopia's throne; Taytu, his quick-witted and aggressive wife; and the Swiss engineer Alfred Ilg, the emperor's close advisor. The Ethiopians' brilliant gamesmanship and savvy public relations campaign helped roll back the Europeanization of Africa.
Figures throughout the African diaspora immediately grasped the significance of Adwa, Menelik, and an independent Ethiopia. Writing deftly from a transnational perspective, Jonas puts Adwa in the context of manifest destiny and Jim Crow, signaling a challenge to the very concept of white dominance. By reopening seemingly settled questions of race and empire, the Battle of Adwa was thus a harbinger of the global, unsettled century about to unfold.

“Hailing frequencies open”: Communication in Star Trek: The Next Generation
Thomas D. Parham, III
Star Trek: The Next Generation blended speculative science fiction and space opera in its portrayal of communication. Multiple modes of communication used between characters are presented and the multilevel tapestry of communication in the series is critical in its appeal.
This book proposes that these patterns of communication reveal a foundational philosophy of Star Trek(while enticing millions of viewers). These patterns serve both to cause strong empathetic connections with characters and to impel viewers to form relationships with the show, explaining their extreme devotion.


A former mutual fund rep has effectively had an existing disciplinary suspension extended by the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC).
Back in 2018, Jon Snelson reached a settlement with the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA). Snelson agreed to a four-year ban and monetary sanctions for engaging in unapproved outside business activity, which involved raising over $300,000 for a junior issuer, Threegold Resources Inc. Snelson also served as chief financial officer of Threegold.
Now, an OSC hearing panel has approved a separate settlement with Snelson and Victor Goncalves, who was president and CEO of Threegold, for violating securities law by raising funds for the company at a time when Threegold was subject to a cease trade order for failing to make required continuous disclosure filings.
According to the OSC settlement, Snelson and Goncalves also distributed securities without a prospectus and without being registered or having an exemption.
The settlement with the provincial regulator includes four-year bans, monetary penalties of $30,000 and costs of $10,000 for both men.
In its reasons, the OSC panel noted that Snelson’s four-year MFDA ban “has been running for almost two and a half years at this point. As a result, the sanctions agreed to here will extend the time period during which Mr. Snelson cannot carry on the business for which he had previously been registered, to at least six and a half years.”
The OSC noted that Goncalves has already paid his agreed sanctions, while Snelson has been unable to pay due to financial hardship.

|Vitälzȳm™ Cardio combines all the benefits of the original Vitälzȳm™ formula (systemic and digestive enzyme activity) with the power of nattokinase. Nattokinase is a highly fibrinolytic enzyme that supports cardiovascular health by improving blood mobility and heart function.
Vitälzȳm™ Cardio also contains magnesium and CoQ10, a powerful anti-oxidant. Both have been shown to benefit cardiovascular function.*
Vitälzȳm™ Cardio employs a potent proprietary blend of systemic and digestive enzymes that includes serrapeptase, bromelain, papain, lipase, protease, and amylase further enhanced with rutin and amla extract for extra anti-oxidant defense and vitamin C. The powder-filled capsule begins to break down in the stomach providing digestive support, while the buffer enteric-coated serrapeptase survives the acidic environment of the stomach to be released in the small intestine. From there it is absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body for systemic support.*
Directions: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule three times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Take capsules at least 30 minutes before a meal, 60 minutes after a meal or any time in between.
