Working in a mismanaged office can put a damper on your self esteem. People want to take pride in their work and gain meaning from it. When you work with an incompetent or totally disorganised boss, he is unlikely to solicit your opinion or voluntarily give you more control. Unless you have an alternative, like another job or changing departments, you simply must learn to cope. Here are some suggestions:
*Form healthy (not gossiping kind) friendships with co-workers. This can make the environment more pleasant and take the focus off your boss’s incompetence.
*Make yourself visible to your boss’s boss. Work harder and you just might get his job.
*Document any examples of gross negligence, such as skipping meetings or losing documents.
*Suggest solutions in writing to higher management or a union representative.
If you simply can’t cope, set a goal to find a better job. Your self esteem and job satisfaction are important.
Natural Pain Relief
Do you look away when a health care provider inserts a needle to draw blood or give you an injection? According to a study published in UK’s Psychological Science journal, looking at your arm when getting an injection, instead of looking away, may make you feel less pain. Scientists tested the pain thresholds of 18 volunteers using heat probes. They found volunteers were able to endure more heat on their hands while looking at them compared to when they were unable to see them. The researches say this shows there is an interaction between what we see and how the brain processes pain. So next time you have an injection, look and you will feel less pain.

🏎 Duking it out at Darlington
Is Carl Edwards making a return to NASCAR?
Good morning! As we wrap up an eventful throwback weekend in Darlington, we're not quite done reminiscing yet... NASCAR heads to North Wilkesboro Speedway this weekend to finalize the track's resurrection with some short track truck action and the All-Star race!
Who won the last NASCAR event held at North Wilkesboro?

Pirelli Plays Catchup
Pirelli, the tire supplier for Formula 1, will introduce a new type of slick tire starting from the British Grand Prix in response to the increased performance of the 2023 cars. Despite changes in floor regulations that were expected to slow down lap times, the cars have been consistently faster in the first five races of the season. Pirelli has been working on a new tire construction to better handle the future developments that will further increase speeds and downforce levels in the sport.
The new tire specification will incorporate materials already developed for 2024, making the tires more resistant without affecting other technical parameters. To ensure fair testing, Pirelli will provide two additional sets of tires per car for the teams to use during the practice sessions at the Spanish Grand Prix. The new tires will debut at the Silverstone race after five more races are completed.
Bottas Boasts "Many, Many More Years"
Valtteri Bottas, currently in his 11th season in Formula 1, has expressed his intention to continue racing for "many years" despite having spent a decade in the sport. The 33-year-old Finnish driver, who has started 205 Grands Prix so far, considers himself young compared to some of his peers and hopes to remain on the grid for years to come. Bottas acknowledges that various factors, such as the state of the sport, the team he is with, and the overall atmosphere, could influence his decision. He also mentioned that the extensive traveling involved in Formula 1 might become a consideration in the future. Bottas, currently racing for Alfa Romeo after leaving Mercedes, has a contract set to expire at the end of the 2024 season.

Edwards, who came close to winning the Cup series title multiple times but never secured the championship, made a rare trackside appearance at Darlington and expressed his desire to continue driving cars.
He mentioned the possibility of engaging in simulation work to assess if he still has the skills required.

There are 11 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 1,843 the Oregon Health Authority reported January 21, 2021
OHA also reported 849 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 bringing the state total to 135,973.
The new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases reported are in the following counties: Baker (4), Benton (24), Clackamas (71), Clatsop (7), Columbia (1), Coos (10), Crook (2), Deschutes (32), Douglas (22), Gilliam (1), Harney (1), Hood River (8), Jackson (42), Jefferson (6), Josephine (21), Klamath (18), Lake (1), Lane (97), Lincoln (11), Linn (23), Malheur (18), Marion (87), Morrow (11), Multnomah (123), Polk (18), Tillamook (1), Umatilla (35), Union (6), Wallowa (1), Wasco (11), Washington (110) and Yamhill (26).
Vaccine Voices: ‘I trust the science, and the data is phenomenal’
Anna Antonopulos, a pediatric hospitalist in Medford, shares her vaccination story: “I got my COVID-19 vaccine to protect my patients, my friends, my family and myself. I have dedicated my life to helping others around me, whether that is treating patients in the hospital, teaching Sunday school at church, being a super aunt to my five nieces and two nephews, and just being a good neighbor and friend. Getting my vaccine is an extension of this. I want to be an example. I trust the science, and the data is phenomenal. I was so excited to get my vaccine.”
Vaccinations in Oregon: Today, OHA reported that 14,951 new doses of COVID-19 vaccinations were added to the state immunization registry. Of this total, 8,699 vaccine doses were administered on Jan. 20 and 6,252 were administered on previous days but were entered into the vaccine registry on Jan. 20.
Cumulative daily totals can take several days to finalize because providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and technical challenges have caused many providers to lag in their reporting. OHA has been providing technical support to vaccination sites to improve the timeliness of their data entry into the state’s ALERT Immunization Information System (IIS).
Oregon has now administered a cumulative total of 253,711 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines. All vaccinations were administered by Oregon hospitals, long-term care facilities, emergency medical service (EMS) agencies, urgent care facilities and Local Public Health Authorities (LPHAs).
To date, 479,325 doses of vaccine have been delivered to sites across Oregon.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. OHA’s dashboards provide regularly updated vaccination data and Oregon’s dashboard has been updated today.
Vaccine Advisory Committee narrows recommendation, plans further discussion
Oregon’s 27-member COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee (VAC) met for its third official business meeting on Jan. 21. The committee met and discussed how to best sequence populations to center those most likely to experience both health inequities and the worst effects of COVID-19.
The VAC is expected to make a final recommendation on implementation and allocation scenarios at its next formal meeting on Jan. 28. More details from today’s meeting are available.
Facebook Live: Experts answer your COVID-19 vaccine questions
We know Oregonians have many questions about COVID-19 vaccines, their distribution and recent changes to federal recommendations. Some of our experts took the time to answer questions on Facebook Live. You can watch the video here, and time stamps for the questions are available below.
12:44 – I read that 80% of the COVID-19 related deaths are in people over 65. Why are people in this group not first in line?
15:11 – I’m in Phase 1A and I can’t get an appointment to get vaccinated. What can I do?
16:25 – If kids are also getting sick from COVID-19, why aren’t they getting vaccinated? Shouldn’t you be vaccinating both teachers and students before schools open?
17:58 – With the federal shortage, are people who have had their first dose going to be able to get their second dose, or is there a risk that won’t happen?
19:05 – Where can I find information on vaccination sites?
19:53 – Why are college professors not included in the educators that are eligible for vaccination?
20:44 – When will you start vaccinating people with underlying conditions, like diabetes?
22:04 – Why have approximately one-third of vaccines in Oregon not been distributed?
23:53 – When vaccines are available to the public, will they have a cost?
24:38 – Lane County has a significant shortage of vaccines so much so that the Public Health Division is turning those in Phase 1A away. What plans are in place to make sure supplies are appropriately allocated to the areas in need?
26:19 – How and where do I find out when it’s my turn to get vaccinated if I don’t have a physician?
27:11 – When are additional doses of vaccine from the federal government expected to arrive in Oregon?
28:27 – Are COVID-19 vaccinations available in Eastern Oregon?
29:28 – How will people who have mobility issues and don’t have transportation get to COVID-19 vaccination clinics?
30:53 – Can we have an estimate for when everyone will be able to get the vaccine?
31:52 – When will essential workers be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations?

OHA releases updated pediatric report
Today, OHA issued a report analyzing the case data of pediatric COVID-19 cases in Oregon since the beginning of the pandemic. Here are some key findings:
- As of Jan. 5, there had been 119,488 confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19 in Oregon. Pediatric patients — defined as people under 18 years old — accounted for 13,328, or 11.2%, of the total cases. There had been seven cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C).
- There was a dramatic rise in daily COVID-19 pediatric cases in late October and mid-November with cases levelling out somewhat by the end of 2020.
- The report indicates that while pediatric case counts have increased, pediatric patients remain far less likely than adults to develop severe cases of COVID-19.
- Only 0.9% of pediatric patients have been hospitalized at some point during their COVID-19 illness. Comparatively, 6.2% of adults with COVID-19 have been hospitalized.

What would be the ground clearance of Hyundai Creta?
Up to 210mm
Hyundai Creta will most probably have a ground clearance of 180 mm or minor chances of it being 200 mm. The car will come in a 5 seater version only, making a lot of legroom for everyone inside. It could accommodate 5 adults with full ease and the reclining roof structure seems to provide some limited headroom to the rear seats. It will ride on 16 or 17 inches of rubber, with its 1.6 L diesel mill being the most famous before its launch. The automatic variant will be at the top end, with a diesel motor inside, costing upto INR 11,00,000. The lower versions will start from INR 8.5 lac and the car will bring the Hyundai’s Fluidic design to the smallest SUV in its list of cars. It will come with ABS and airbags for enhanced safety and ease on non ideal roads.

The 30 minute episode gave me the platform to talk about my life and artwork. It focused on some of my drawing techniques, demonstrated during an improvised work that used mixed media. During the episode, I aimed to highlight the importance of treating observation and imagination as an equally important skill to that of physically drawing. Additionally, the episode was also about taking a leap of faith in the creative process and allowing mistakes to happen.

Power imbalances and due processes don’t matter
The Supreme Court was called upon to do justice in a case involving claims of sexual harassment. And it has failed, in every possible way, to do that
A woman makes allegations of sexual harassment and victimisation against the powerful head of her former institution. The allegations are detailed, and supported by audio and video evidence. The head of the institution convenes a special sitting the next morning, along with two of his colleagues. He indulges in character assassination of the Complainant, and alleges a conspiracy against the institution itself. In this, he is supported by two very senior officers of the institution. A few days later, three other colleagues convene another sitting, where they vouch for the character of the head of the institution, hint at getting the police and investigating agencies involved into looking for the “conspiracy”, and finally settle upon a probe by a retired senior colleague — all the while insisting that this has nothing to do with the allegations themselves. Meanwhile, three more colleagues of the head constitute themselves into an “in-house enquiry committee”, where one of them is immediately forced to recuse himself, because it turns out that he has already made a public statement in favour of the head of the institution. The In-House Committee goes ahead with a replacement member — another colleague. At the hearing, the Complainant is told that this is an “informal committee”, which is not required to follow existing legal procedures, or best practices for dealing with sexual harassment complaints. The proceedings are not videographed, the Complainant is not provided with records of her testimony, and she is not granted access to a lawyer. The Complainant withdraws from the proceedings, stating publicly that she does not believe that she will get justice. Various organisations write to the institution, urging that for justice to be done, some basic procedures need to be followed, such as the existence of an external member, formal processes of evidence taking, and so on. It is argued that this is of special importance, given the vast difference of power that exists between the Complainant and the accused. The “informal” In-House Committee goes ahead with its “informal” procedures — now ex parte — and grants an (informal?) “clean chit” to the head of the institution. The report is not disclosed. From beginning to end, the case takes less than three weeks.
What are we to make of all this? One thing is clear: if this process was to be challenged before a court, the court would require no more than ten seconds to discard the entire process, and order a fresh enquiry. Among the things that would weigh with the court would be the following: the head of the institution (and his senior colleagues’) public questioning of the Complainant’s character and motives; the “informal” character of the enquiry committee, which seemingly believed that it was above all constraints of due process; denial of basic rights to the Complainant; and the complete absence of any acknowledgement — or mitigation — of the imbalance of power that existed between the two parties.
But what are we to do when the accused happens to be the Chief Justice of India, his colleagues judges of the Supreme Court, the senior officers the Attorney General and the Solicitor General of India, and the investigating agencies the Delhi Police, the Central Bureau of Investigation, and the Intelligence Bureau? What are we to do when the highest guardian of the law acts as if it is above the law? To whom lies the appeal and to whom the recourse against a deeply flawed process? It is this that makes the conduct of the Supreme Court in these proceedings even starker: the imbalance of power between the Chief Justice of India and a former employee, the fact that the Supreme Court was enquiring against one of its own, and the fact that there could be no further appeal from its procedures, all provided powerful reasons for the court to be even more careful of due process, equity, and the rights of the Complainant, something recognised by one judge of the Supreme Court, Chandrachud J, who, in a letter to the In-House Committee, specifically pointed out some of these issues, and asked that they be addressed. Instead, what we got can only be described as a sham.
But there is an even deeper consequence of the In-House Committee’s (secret) report exonerating the Chief Justice. For the last 20 years, the law on sexual harassment in India has made slow, incremental, steps forward. From the Vishaka Guidelines in 1997 to the POSH Act in 2013, certain basic principles about the imbalance of power, procedural justice, and protecting the rights of survivors, have been fought for, and partially won. As #MeToo — with its spate of defamation complaints — showed us recently, the battle is far from over. But what the Supreme Court has done is to undermine the gains of the last two decades in one fell stroke. The Supreme Court has told us that when it comes to one of its own, imbalances of power don’t matter, due process doesn’t matter, and basic norms of justice don’t matter. The ripple effect that this will now have across the board can well be imagined: if the guardian of the rule of law, and the institution that is supposed to be a moral exemplar to the nation, acts in this way, then why should anyone else act differently? And with what face can a court tell them to act differently, given its own conduct?
But that is for another day. What matters today is that the Supreme Court was called upon to do justice in a case involving claims of sexual harassment. And it has failed, in every possible way, to do that.

The deal reached by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, teachers unions, and state Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. would allow 60 percent of an evaluation to be based on classroom observation and other measures not related to standardized tests.
The deal broadly reflects a 2010 law passed by the Legislature to qualify for $700 million in federal education reform funds. King has said millions more in state aid is also tied to effective teacher evaluations.
The state plan now goes to local school districts, including New York City's, where local deals over specific areas such as appeals must be struck within a year. If not, Cuomo said he will deny a scheduled 4 percent increase in state aid, which would total $800 million, including $300 million for New York City schools alone.
Thursday's deal includes a settlement on an appeals process that has stopped negotiations on a local evaluation in New York City. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the United Federation of Teachers must still agree to an overall evaluation plan to secure the $300 million increase, Cuomo said.
UFT President Michael Mulgrew revealed some tension in the local talks, saying in Albany that the deal should show Bloomberg that good education policy is the product of discussion and not simply about closing ineffective schools.
"This agreement recognizes that students are more than a test score," Mulgrew said.
In a written statement, Bloomberg said the deal will benefit generations of students.
"It will help us to create a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation system that will ensure that teachers who are rated 'ineffective' can be given the proper support they need to grow - or be moved out of the classroom," Bloomberg stated.
New York State United Teachers President Richard Iannuzzi called the deal historic and said it will put "an effective teacher in front of every classroom."
King said the plan was "an extraordinary example of effective collaboration."
Cuomo said he will contact the U.S. Education Department, but felt confident the deal will secure the millions in Race to the Top funds. Cuomo called the state evaluation system rigorous and the best one he's seen to reward good teachers and eliminate bad ones.
"Today's a great day for the schools within the state of New York and for schoolchildren within the state," Cuomo said. "I believe this is a better system than any system that had been contemplated or discussed until now."
The plan allows for 20 percent of an evaluation to reflect student progress on state tests. Another 20 percent can be from a list of three testing options, including state standardized tests, third-party assessments or tests approved by the state Education Department and locally developed tests subject to state approval.
The agreement also creates a rating system for teachers following the evaluation. A score of 64 percent or lower would rate a teacher as "ineffective," and that could eventually lead to dismissal if the teacher does not show progress under an improvement plan.
A grade of 65 percent to 74 percent would be "developing," requiring an improvement plan and 75 percent to 90 percent would be "effective," the goal for every teacher in a classroom. A rating of 91 percent to 100 percent would be "highly effective" and those teachers would be eligible for any merit increases or other perks, as determined in local labor contracts.
The deal also includes the potential for grading a "curve," but that could be rejected by the state education commissioner. The commissioner will also be able to approve or reject local evaluation plans.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found that 50 percent of voters trust Cuomo more "to protect the interests of New York State public school students." Thirty-eight percent trust the teachers union more. It found that 45 percent of those polled said they approve of the way Cuomo is handling education, while 42 percent disapprove.
Voters also supported merit pay for "outstanding" teachers by 2-to-1. And two-thirds of voters said they support making it easier to fire teachers.
The poll surveyed 1,233 voters from last Wednesday through Monday. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. To mark the occasion, we are publishing a series of reports celebrating the city's achievements in different aspects over the past four decades.
By virtue of its openness and pioneering spirit, Shenzhen has been continuously improving its global competitiveness and marching toward the world stage with remarkable achievements over the past four decades, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.
Opening to the outside world has enabled Shenzhen to radically change from an agricultural county to a modern metropolis, and constantly create world miracles representing the rapid development of emerging cities.
In 2019, the gross domestic product of Shenzhen reached 2.69 trillion yuan (US$396.6 billion), second only to Shanghai and Beijing.
The 40-year-old Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (SEZ) boasts the third-largest container port in the world, the largest checkpoint in Asia, and one of China's five largest airports.
It is home to eight Fortune 500 companies, including Huawei, China Merchants Bank, Ping An Insurance, Tencent, Vanke, Amer, Evergrande, and Shenzhen Investment and Holdings Co. Ltd.
Shenzhen has successively established friendship city relationships with 88 cities in 56 countries. It has a legion of international high-end talent, and Nobel laureates such as Roald Hoffmann and Arieh Warshel have set up key laboratories in the city.
All kinds of data can be regarded as footnotes of Shenzhen's success, the Daily said. According to the Economist, the world now counts about 4,300 SEZs. But very few of them have been anywhere near as successful as Shenzhen.
Shenzhen has taken the lead in readjusting the industrial structure and developing high-tech and other pillar industries. Meanwhile, the city has beefed up efforts to attract foreign investment and develop export trade.
Shenzhen-made products are gaining traction in the world. TV sets, consumer drones, robots, containers, boarding bridges and other "Made in Shenzhen" products of high quality and high added value have made Shenzhen brands increasingly influential across the globe.

On September 18, 2006, Jorge Julio López, a retired mason, left his house in the morning and never returned. Now, 10 years later, that is still the last thing we know about his whereabouts. López, who was illegally detained and tortured during the last military dictatorship, provided key testimony against former police commissioner Miguel Etchecolatz, one of the most notorious torturers of that dark era. But López was not able to witness how the man whom he pointed to as his torturer was sentenced to life for crimes against humanity. López vanished days after providing that key testimony against Etchecolatz.
Immediately after his disappearance, photos of López were posted across the country. It was a terrifying moment in Argentine history. Just as former dictatorship-era leaders were being held accountable for the tens of thousands of people they tortured and disappeared, López’s disappearance raised the specter of a return to those dark days oft the past.
His disappearance came a day before Etchecolatz’s sentencing, which was a landmark moment in the country’s historic quest for justice against the perpetrators of crimes against humanity during the dictatorship. It was the first trial after Congress annulled the amnesty laws that prevented those who committed crimes during the dictatorship from being held legally responsible for their actions. It also marked the first time the judiciary used the word “genocide” to describe the crimes that took place during the dictatorship. But suddenly the way he vanished raised fears that other witnesses would hesitate to testify and prevent other trials from moving forward.
Now, a decade later, many seem to have forgotten about López. And the investigation hasn’t moved an inch. His potential whereabouts are as much a mystery now as they were a decade ago. Myriam Bregman, member of the collective “Justice Now!” (Justicia Ya!), that provided legal counsel for López during the case and is now a national lawmaker for the Leftist Workers’ Front (FIT), has called the state’s failed investigation of López’s whereabouts as a “monument to impunity.”
NGO Memoria Abierta (Open Memory) along with the Center For Legal and Social Studies (CELS) released this week a powerful video about the case that makes clear how little the investigation into his disappearance has moved forward.
During the dictatorship, López was illegally arrested during the dictatorship for his political activism in the Buenos Aires provincial capital of La Plata. During that time, Etchecolatz was the head of investigations for the Buenos Aires province police force and led 21 underground detention centers. His trials served as a stark reminder that not all of the illegal detention and torture centers were run by the armed forces.
Etchecolatz also orchestrated the infamous Noche de los Lápices (“Night of the Pencils“), where 10 students from La Plata between the ages of 16 and 19 were disappeared after participating in protests over student bus fares. They were kidnapped September 16-21, 1976. In August, Etchecolatz was granted house arrest by the Federal Tribunal of La Plata. Although he remains in prison for the time being due to other charges pressed against him, human rights groups are raising alarm bells that he may be released from prison.
Part of the fear has to do with the suggestions that Etchecolatz may very well know, or at least have an idea, about what happened to López. In 2014, eight years from López’s disappearance, a judge was reading the life sentence against Etchecolatz when he suddenly began looking straight on at Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo head Estela de Carlotto. Etchecolatz then proceeded to jot something down on a piece of paper. After the reading of the sentence was complete, Etchecolatz tried to hand over that piece of paper to the court, but he wasn’t allowed. A photojournalist was able to take a picture of the piece of paper where the words “Jorge Julio López” were clearly visible.
A new judge, Ernesto Kreplak, has now taken charge of the investigation into López’s disappearance and earlier this month ordered the preservation of all text messages and phone calls from the days before and after López vanished.
Numerous human rights groups will join forces on Sunday to march in both La Plata and the City of Buenos Aires to mark the tenth anniversary of López’s disappearance. The March in the capital will begin at 2:30 PM in Congress and will then go to Plaza de Mayo, while those who will march in La Plata will gather in Plaza Moreno at 4:30 PM.

Let’s get cranking.
What Is “Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)”?
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) is a rating used in the battery industry to define a battery’s ability to crank an engine in cold temperatures.
It measures how much current (measured in Amps) a new, fully charged 12V battery could deliver for 30 seconds while maintaining 7.2V at 0°F (-18°C).
So, how many Cold Cranking Amps does an internal combustion engine need?
How Many Cold Cranking Amps Are Required To Start A Car?
The cranking power an automotive battery requires to start an engine varies.
It’s driven by several factors, including the engine size, temperature, and engine oil viscosity.
For example, a 4-cylinder engine may not require as much cranking power as a larger 8-cylinder engine. The vehicle manufacturer takes all these factors into account when they spec out the original equipment (OE) car battery.
Generally, the rule of thumb is 1 Cold Cranking Amp for every cubic inch of engine displacement (2 CCA for diesel engines).
You’ll often see engine displacement expressed in cubic centimeters (CC) or liters (L), which is the total cylinder volume of the engine.
1L is about 61 cubic inches (CID).
For example, a 2276 CC engine is rounded to 2.3L, which is equivalent to 140 cubic inches.
How do these numbers work with the car battery CCA?
Applying that rule of thumb we mentioned earlier would mean:
A 280 CCA battery would be more than enough for a 140 cubic inch V4 engine, but insufficient for a 350 cubic inch V8 engine.
Now that we’ve got the math out of the way and cleared up how many Cold Cranking Amps you need, let’s look at some related FAQs.
9 Cold Cranking Amp Related FAQs
Here are some questions related to the CCA rating, and their answers :
1. Why Is Cold (Instead Of Hot) Cranking Amps Used?
It’s harder to crank an engine in cold environments compared to a warm one.
The starter battery needs to quickly deliver large amounts of power to the engine — typically within 30 seconds of high-rate discharge. As a result, the amp value generated in cold temperatures represents the worst-case scenario.
How does temperature affect cranking power?
Cold temperature influences the engine and battery fluids.
When cold, engine fluids increase in viscosity, making it harder to start. Lead acid battery electrolytes also become more viscous in the cold, increasing impedance, so it’s harder to discharge current.
Not only that, battery voltage lowers in a colder temperature, meaning the battery has less electrical energy.
In warmer environments, the chemical reaction rate increases, boosting available battery power. Here’s the difference — a battery at 18°C can deliver double the power compared to when it’s at -18°C. As a result, solely relying on Hot Cranking Amps (HCA) could be misleading.
2. Who Defined The CCA Test?
Global standards were created because of the temperature impact on the engine and the automotive battery.
Several agencies — like the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) or the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) — have standards focused on the Cold Cranking Amp (CCA) and Cranking Amp (CA) measurements.
The starting battery test for the Cold Cranking Amps often used by battery manufacturers is based on the SAE J537 Jun 1994 American Standard. This test measures the output amp of a 12V battery for 30 seconds while maintaining 7.2V at 0°F (-18°C).
3. Where Does The Term “Cranking Amps” Come From?
Before the modern battery-driven car starting system, a hand crank was used to start the engine. This was a dangerous task that needed a lot of strength.
However, in 1915, Cadillac introduced the electric starter motor in all their models, using a starting battery that provided enough current — “cranking amps” — to start the engine.
This development not only birthed the term Cranking Amps but also ignited the evolution of the car battery industry.
4. What Is CA?
The Cranking Amp (CA) is sometimes called Marine Cranking Amps (MCA).
The Cranking Amp test has the same conditions as Cold Cranking Amps but performed at 32°F (0°C). It’s a more relevant rating for a battery in warmer or marine environments, where freezing 0°F (-18°C) temperatures are rare.
As the test environment is warmer, the resulting amp value will be higher than the CCA number.
5. What Are HCA And PHCA?
The HCA and PHCA are battery ratings like the CA and CCA, with a few differences in testing conditions.
A. Hot Cranking Ampere (HCA)
Like the CA and CCA, the Hot Cranking Amp measures the current a fully charged 12V car battery delivers for 30 seconds while maintaining a voltage of 7.2V, but at 80°F (26.7°C).
The HCA is aimed towards starting applications in a warm environment where battery power is much more available.
B. Pulse Hot Cranking Ampere (PHCA)
The Pulse Hot Cranking Amp measures the current a fully charged 12V battery can deliver for 5 seconds while maintaining a terminal voltage of 7.2V at 0°F (-18°C).
The PHCA rating is geared towards batteries made for the motor racing industry.
6. Should The CCA Rating Drive My Car Battery Purchase?
While the CCA rating should be considered, it’s important to realize that most vehicles don’t see sub-zero temperatures regularly.
Cold Cranking Amps becomes a critical number if you drive in cold climates but is less of a concern in warmer regions.
Here’s the deal; using a lower CCA battery than the original battery may not give you enough power for your car. However, getting one with a much higher CCA rating isn’t practical. For the most part, an extra 300 CCA isn’t necessary and can cost more.
So, use the CCA rating as a starting point.
Make sure your replacement battery has a CCA rating that is the same or slightly exceeds the original battery.
Just remember that a high CCA battery doesn’t mean it’s better than one with lower CCA. It just means that it has more power to crank an engine in freezing temperatures.
7. How Many CCAs Do I Need In A Jump Starter?
For an average-size car (this includes compact SUVs to light trucks), a 400-600 CCA jump starter should be enough. A larger truck may need more amps, maybe around 1000 CCA.
The amps needed to jump-start a car will be lower than the car battery CCA. Also, keep in mind that a diesel engine requires more amps than a petrol engine.
What about Peak Amps?
The Peak Amp is the maximum amount of current that the jump starter can produce on the initial burst.
Don’t be confused by the numbers.
A battery will only produce the peak amp for a few seconds, but it will maintain the cranking amps for at least 30 seconds. While a high peak amp value does indicate a more powerful jump starter, it’s the CCA number you should pay the most attention to.
Keeping a jump starter in your vehicle is a good way to circumvent dead battery situations. They often come with added features like a built-in torchlight and power bank for accessories, so you can avoid a dead battery and dead phone, too!
8. What Should I Consider When Getting A Battery Replacement?
Here’s a breakdown of what to look for in a replacement battery:
A. Battery Type And Technology
Do you need a starter battery or a deep cycle battery?
You’ll find these functions in both the lead acid battery and AGM battery.
Lithium batteries tend to have a longer battery life but are in a different class altogether since they’re usually used in electric cars.
You might also be interested in specific battery brands for their technology, like the Odyssey battery that features very thin battery plates with high lead content or the Optima battery with spiral-wound cells.
B. Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)
CCA represents the battery’s ability to start in a colder temperature. Get one with a CCA rating that’s the same or slightly exceeds that of your current battery.
C. Battery Group Number
The battery group defines the battery’s physical dimensions, terminal locations, and battery type. It’s typically based on a vehicle’s make, model, and engine type.
D. Reserve Capacity (RC)
The battery Reserve Capacity (RC) is a measure of minutes that a 12V battery (at 25°C) can deliver a 25A current before its voltage drops to 10.5V.
It generally indicates how much reserve power (in terms of time) you’ll have if the vehicle’s alternator fails.
E. Amp Hour Capacity (Ah)
Amp Hour (Ah) defines the total amount of power that a 12V battery will deliver for 20 hours before it’s fully discharged (that is, the voltage drops to 10.5V).
For example, a 100Ah battery will supply 5A of current for 20 hours.
F. Warranty Coverage
The battery should have a hassle-free warranty that includes a free-replacement time frame. This way, if the new battery is faulty, you’ll have the opportunity to change it.
However, if it’s too much hassle to figure it out, let a mechanic handle the selection and installation for you.

Vattenfall has cancelled its Hydrogen Turbine 1 (HT1) production project located off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Following the development phase for decentralised offshore hydrogen production, and “in light of other industry advances,” the company has decided to conclude the project, which H2 View understands was set to begin operations next year (2025).
Vattenfall told H2 View that an electrolyser was never connected to an offshore wind turbine to produce hydrogen and said the company shifted its focus away from production as it wasn’t an “efficient use of resources.”
However, the project, located at Vattenfall’s European Offshore Wind Development Centre, supported the creation of a new UK Government regulatory and consenting regime for offshore hydrogen transportation and storage.

text: Recent evidence suggests that Americans' beliefs about upward mobility are overly optimistic. Davidai & Gilovich (2015a), Kraus & Tan (2015), and Kraus (2015) all found that people overestimate the likelihood that a person might rise up the economic ladder, and underestimate the likelihood that they might fail to do so. However, using a different methodology, Chambers, Swan and Heesacker (2015) reported that Americans' beliefs about mobility are much more pessimistic. Swan, Chambers, Heesacker and Nero (2017) provide a much-needed summary of these conflicting findings and question the utility of measuring population-level biases in judgments of inequality and mobility. We value their summary but argue that their conclusion is premature. By focusing on measures that best tap how laypeople naturally think about the distribution of income, we believe that researchers can draw meaningful conclusions about the public's perceptions of economic mobility. When more ecologically representative measures are used, the consistent finding is that Americans overestimate the extent of upward mobility in the United States. To explain the divergent findings in the literature, we provide evidence that the methods used by Chambers et al. (2015) inadvertently primed participants to think about immobility rather than mobility. Finally, using a novel method to examine beliefs about economic mobility, we show that Americans indeed overestimate the degree of mobility in the United States.

Antonio Conte is being tipped to surprisingly ditch Tottenham’s long-standing plans to sign Dejan Kulusesvki, despite already having a deal in place, according to one pundit.
The North London side are upwardly mobile under the management of the Italian. After recently celebrating a year in charge at Spurs, they are through to the last 16 of the Champions League and are fourth in the Premier League despite Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.
Moulding the side his way, Conte has made a number of astute signings since taking the helm at Spurs. Indeed, he made a total of eight summer signings, with Richarlison at £60m the most eye-catching addition.
It was back in January, though, when Conte first began re-shaping his squad. With days left in the winter window, Spurs brought in both Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus, with the pair both quickly establishing themselves as key players.
Sweden winger Kulusevski certainly caught the eye. Signing on an initial 18-month loan, Spurs have the option to make the move permanent at any of the three intervening transfer windows before the loan arrangement ends. However, the longer they delay taking up that option, the more it will ultimately end up costing Spurs.
Impressing with five goals and eight assists last season, it seemed just a matter of time before his move was made permanent.
However, this season, the player has not quite been as effective with a hamstring injury curtailing his progress. He made his long-awaited return from injury though on Sunday, having not featured since the end of September. Coming on to warm applause after 68 minutes, he immediately set up Harry Kane to score a fine goal.
Conte tipped to pass up on permanent Kulusevski transfer
There remains some questions though if the 22-year-old will recapture the very best form that lit up his first five months in England.
As such, pundit Frank McAvennie claims that Conte could pass up on the opportunity to make his move permanent.
“It depends how bad his injury is,” McAvennie told Football Insider about Kulusevski.
“He was doing alright and now he has got an injury. No club is going to give you a contract if you might not come back the same player. I feel for him because by all accounts he was quite happy when he was playing.
“I know Conte has his ways but he is still a top manager and one that I would like to play for. He demands the highest standards which is great. Conte won’t authorise a permanent deal if he is not fit.
“So it might be a blow for him to go back to his parent club but no club is going to pay money because anything can happen. He could break down again. Conte will know what to do and will give the thumbs up or down.”
Transfer U-turn would be a surprise
The capture of Kulusesvki was seen as a real coup for Spurs when Fabio Paratici negotiated his move from Juventus. In fact, the Swede had been linked with several other sides before moving to the Lilywhites.
He very quickly adapted to both Conte’s tactics and the rigours of the Premier League. And while competition is tough for places in Spurs’ attack, he will likely get his chances over the course of the season.
Indeed, his assist on Sunday served as a perfect reminder of his abilities. Hugely-popular among the supporters, he now has one goal and four assists from eight Premier League appearances so far this season. As such, the perceived drop-off in standards is evidentally not there.
And with Conte a huge admirer of the player and needing a big squad at his disposal, it would come as a huge surprise were they not to trigger his permanent signing.
That, though, will likely come at the of his loan agreement. That is due to end on June 30, 2023, and by then, we fully expect the club to have triggered their option to make the signing permanent.
With Sweden failing to qualify for the World Cup, Kulusevski can use the break in the season to work on his fitness. And he will very much be back in contention for Tottenham when their season resumes on December 26 against Brentford.
Before then, though, Spurs face Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup and Leeds in the Premier League. As such, Kulusevski will hope to build on his cameo outing against the Reds on Sunday.

P448. Inflammatory and cancerous skin lesions in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with anti-TNF therapy
A. Ocepek, C. Pernat Drobez, UMC Maribor, Gastroenterology, Maribor, Slovenia
Skin lesions are most frequently observed adverse reactions to anti-TNF therapy. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients their incidence is 20–25%. Most common skin side effects of anti-TNF are injection site reactions, cutaneous manifestations of infusion reactions, cutaneous infections, non-melanoma skin cancer, and psoriasis. Rare lesions include lupus-like syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis. We present our group of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF therapy who developed skin lesions.
Medical charts of all IBD patients treated with anti-TNF therapy from January 2007 to February 2013 were retrospectively reviwed, in search of inflammatory or cancerous skin lesions as side effects of therapy.
125 IBD patients were included, 65 male and 60 female, average age was 42.2 years. 18 patients (14.4%), developed skin side effects. 11 patients (61.1%) were treated for Crohn's disease and 7 (38.9%) for ulcerative colitis. In 16 patients (12.8%) inflammatory skin lesions were found, psoriasiform lesions in 7 (38.9%), eczematiform lesions in 3 (16.7%), undefined lesions in 3 (16.7%) and other lesions (alopecia, hyperkeratosis, bullous pemphigoid) in 3 (16.7%) patients. Most frequently skin lesions affected arms and legs (in 9 patients or 56%), only trunk was affected in 3 patients (19%), trunk, arms and legs were affected in 1 patient (6%), only face in 1 patient (6%) and scalp in 2 patients (13%). 3 cases of basocellulare carcinoma (BCC) were discovered in 2 patients (1.6%), in a male patient on infliximab and in a female patient on adalimumab. 12 patients with skin side effects (77.8%) were treated with infliximab, 4 patients (22.2%) with adalimumab and 2 patients (11.1%) with both drugs consecutively. Skin lesions developed after a median time of 14.9 months (2 to 39 months) after initiating anti-TNF therapy. All patients were refered to a dermatologist, both patients with BCC were operated by a plastic surgeon, and all 3 lesions were removed with a clean safety margin. In a patient (5.5%) with bullous pemphigoid anti-TNF therapy was stopped, in all other patients therapy was continued, and skin lesions were alleviated by topical dermatological therapy.
Skin side effects are frequent in patients treated with anti-TNF agents. In our group of IBD patients inflammatory and cancerous skin lesions developed in 14.4% of patients. Only in one patient (5.5%) anti-TNF therapy was stopped, in all other patients topical dermatological therapy was sufficient. Both patients with BCC were treated surgicaly and are continuing with anti-TNF therapy under surgical surveillance.

The phrase “a living wage” is not an oxymoron! Today, with hundreds of others, I was at LA City Hall as part of a broad coalition of groups (I went as a member of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice Los Angeles – CLUE-LA) urging the City Council to vote to create a minimum wage that is designed to be a “Living Wage” ($15.25 an hour). So, why should Jews be concerned about this?
The Torah only really has a couple of verses that might apply, which doesn’t seem like much. On the other hand, the Torah can say a great deal in two verses:
“You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a countryman or a stranger in one of the communities of your land. You must pay him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets, for he is needy and urgently depends on it; else he will cry to God against you and you will incur guilt.” (Deuteronomy 24:14-15). (Deuteronomy 24:14-15).
First, this means that a living wage is not an oxymoron. In addition, these verses clearly state that paying a decent wage on time has nothing to do with whether the worker is “legal” or a “documented” (“countryman or stranger”). Rather, fairness in wages has to do with the reality the s/he is “needy and destitute.” People working today under the euphemism we call “Minimum Wage” are actually living well below the Federal Government’s official poverty line. They are certainly “needy” and are constantly on the cusp of being “destitute”. All it takes some sort of urgency (illness, a fire, a stolen truck or tools of a trade, etc.) and they will be destitute. Today, we call minimum wage workers (currently $9 an hour in California – going up to $10 an hour in 2016) “working poor”. AND THAT IS AN OXYMORON!
Paying wages “on the same day, before the sun sets” also applies. If we overlay the biblical proscription of paying workers on the same day they work onto minimum wage workers, than the true wages due that are due to them, that they have earned, have been withheld from them long after “the sun has set” – not just for a day, but for for months or even years!,
We shouldn’t feel motivated to help the working poor because we will “incur guilt” neither should we put anyone in the position to complain to God because we, in some way, are responsible for them not being paid enough. That should make us feel guilty! Even though we don’t directly pay all the people who provide services for us, who bus our tables, who wash the toilets, who mop the floors, who clean our hotel rooms, who wash our cars, who shelve our groceries, who put the steel in our buildings, who care for and clean up after our elderly and infirm, we are all part of the system that keeps them where they are – working and poor.
It will be pennies on the dollar for us if these workers earn $15.25 an hour. That –barely! – living wage will enable these workers to perhaps have one job instead of two or three, to be with their children, to not have to choose between filling a prescription or eating. They will have more money in their pockets to feed into the economy – better for all of us.
The Torah is brief and to the point – these workers are “needy and urgently depend” on us, on a true living wage, – now. This is a city-by-city campaign. Seattle and San Francisco have already passed a $15 an hour minimum wage. Your city can, too. The Torah, or God or Adonai or Allah or Jesus or Krishna can’t make a phone call to your city council person – but you can. We are the spiritual made actual, manifest in the world – not by what we believe – but rather but what we do.

Foreshore Bill endangers NZ’s social progress
United Future MP, Larry Baldock, says the Foreshore and Seabed Bill, reported back from select committee to Parliament
today, is seriously flawed and will not be supported by his party.
“United Future regrets that after hearing from more than 4000 submitters the committee was unable to reach agreement on
amendments to improve the Bill, which will now have to be debated and amended by the whole Parliament,” Mr Baldock said,
who was a member of the select committee.
“I believe it’s clear that much work needs to be done if this Bill is to be amended to address the concerns of many
“Our country’s progress over the last decades of addressing our bi-cultural past founded on the Treaty of Waitangi in
the midst of a developing multi-cultural society in the 21st century is in danger of taking a step backwards rather than
“Among our specific concerns with the Bill are the vesting of ownership of the foreshore and seabed in the Crown rather
than in the public domain. Many submitters were suspicious that Crown ownership leaves open the possibility of the land
being disposed of by the Crown at a later date.
“We would prefer to see the barriers to future alienation of the foreshore and seabed raised significantly through
entrenching the relevant clauses of any legislation.
“In plain language, that means any such proposal would have to be approved by much more than a simple majority in
“Entrenchment would reassure the New Zealand public that future alienation of the foreshore and seabed by a rogue
Government would be extremely difficult,” said Mr Baldock.
Mr Baldock’s minority report on the Bill points to other inadequacies in the Bill, such as the proposed removal of
common-law rights to fishing and the opportunistic attempt by the Government to grab ownership of reclaimed land that is
no longer foreshore or seabed.
“United Future has pushed strongly for the removal of the clause relating to fishing and I am reasonably confident that
will be done when it is debated in the House. However, I will wait to see what happens there before claiming a victory.
“I remain concerned that, no matter what form the final Bill takes, little thought has been given to explaining the
amendments and their implications to the New Zealand public.
“To rely only on the media for this process, and the politicising of the issue as parties make their various points to
appeal to voters, is risky at best and irresponsible at worst,” said Mr Baldock.

Debenhams won a High Court case yesterday (Thursday, September 19) that will now allow it to shut 22 stores and unfortunately, one of those is in Hertfordshire.
The chain will be making plans for a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) to allow it to close its least profitable stores and cut rents on more than 100 stores, reports the Mirror Online.
Debenhams Chief Executive Stefaan Vansteenkiste was pleased with the courts judgement that their CVA plans were valid: "We are delighted that the court has today confirmed that our CVA is effective and will continue to be implemented as planned.
"We note that the only aspect that the judge required to be adjusted was a technical provision of the CVA relating to landlord forfeiture provisions.
"Our proposals had unprecedented levels of support from our landlords and today's outcome is good news for our 25,000 employees, our pensioners and suppliers.
"We retain the support of our lenders, and every at Debenhams can continue to focus on trading ahead of the important Christmas period."
80 per cent of the stores' landlords approved of the restructuring plans after it was taken over by the people it owed money to.
However, some did disagree including Mike Ashley's Sport Direct who objected to the rent reductions the CVA included.
Sports Direct withdrew this in July but others persisted with their which resulted in the court case.
Mr Justice Norris at the High Court said four out of five grounds for the case had failed but that with the offending part removed, the CVA is valid.
He said: "The CVA is valid and remains enforceable," but he gave Discovery Limited the right to appeal.
It's thought that the plans will put 1,200 jobs at risk across the department store chain.
Out of the stores set to close one in found in Hertfordshire. The store in Welwyn Garden City on Stonehills is planned to close in April next year (2020) as part of the CVA.
The other 21 stores include:
- Birmingham Fort
- Great Yarmouth

Emma Lazarus (July 22, 1849 – November 19, 1887) was an American author of poetry, prose, and translations, as well as an activist for Jewish causes.
She wrote the sonnet “The New Colossus” in 1883. Its lines appear inscribed on a bronze plaque, installed in 1903, on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. The last lines of the sonnet were set to music by Irving Berlin as the song “Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor” for the 1949 musical Miss Liberty, which was based on the sculpting of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World). The latter part of the sonnet was also set by Lee Hoiby in his song “The Lady of the Harbor” written in 1985 as part of his song cycle “Three Women”.
Lazarus was also the author of Poems and Translations (New York, 1867); Admetus, and other Poems (1871); Alide: An Episode of Goethe’s Life (Philadelphia, 1874); Poems and Ballads of Heine (New York, 1881); Poems, 2 Vols.; Narrative, Lyric and Dramatic; as well as Jewish Poems and Translations.
THE NEW COLOSSUS
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
VENUS OF THE LOUVRE
Down the long hall she glistens like a star,
The foam-born mother of Love, transfixed to stone,
Yet none the less immortal, breathing on.
Time’s brutal hand hath maimed but could not mar.
When first the enthralled enchantress from afar
Dazzled mine eyes, I saw not her alone,
Serenely poised on her world-worshipped throne,
As when she guided once her dove-drawn car,—
But at her feet a pale, death-stricken Jew,
Her life adorer, sobbed farewell to love.
Here Heine wept! Here still he weeps anew,
Nor ever shall his shadow lift or move,
While mourns one ardent heart, one poet-brain,
For vanished Hellas and Hebraic pain.

After nearly six years, a downtown Boise Greek restaurant will soon be no more.
Meraki Greek Street Food, located on 8th St. in the Bodo District, will close its doors for good on Monday, May 23.
In a Facebook post, the restaurant stated “Sadly, we recently learned that Meraki will no longer be able to stay at our current location in BoDo”.
The post didn’t elaborate on why Meraki can’t stay at its current location but it did say the owners are looking for a new spot to set up shop.
“We hope to find a new spot quickly as our goal is to keep our amazing staff with us,” the post said. “….In the meantime, we’d love to hear your input. Where would you like to see Meraki go NEXT?”
The comment section of the post is flooded with suggestions as to where Meraki could reopen. The restaurant says it will keep customers updated on its social media channels.
