Nokian WR A4
The Nokian WR A4 is a high performance winter tyre perfect for sporty cars. Combining excellent handling with reliable winter grip, it provides balanced driving in snow storms, slush, heavy rain and on dry roads.
Successor to the popular Nokian WR A3, the WR A4 marks a new generation of high performance winter tyre and boasts an impressive list of technologies and innovations.
The Nokian WR A4 features an innovative asymmetric tread design with functional performance siping. Each computer-optimised sipe and tread block has a very precise role, which ensures excellent grip and handling characteristics.
A sturdy rib dominates the WR A4's centre area. It features tread blocks with staggered centipede siping, which help maximise the tyre's contact surface. These sipes work at all driving angles and improve the tyre's stability and grip on snow and slush. Furthermore, the WR A4 features snow claws, which grip the surface relentlessly on soft snow, again aiding grip.
Moreover, Nokian's new Coanda Technology helps reduce the risk of aquaplaning. The curved design of the tread blocks on the inner and outer shoulders helps water flow more efficiently from the longitudinal grooves into the transverse grooves. These grooves also actually widen as the tyre wears down, which means the WR A4 retains its aquaplaning prevention properties throughout its lifespan. The removal of water and slush is further expedited by the polished longitudinal grooves and inner shoulder’s fan-like pattern with blade grooves.
Furthermore, the WR A4 remains stable and controlled at high speeds, thanks to its sturdy outer shoulder. The different-sized tread blocks are closely tied together with support lifts, so do not move as speed increases. This locking of the tread blocks improves lateral stiffness and ensures excellent handling.
The WR A4's unique compound combines a rubber compound designed for freezing Northern winters, with a silica-based compound that provides excellent performance in milder weather. This combination has resulted in the creation of the Performance Traction Silica compound. It is an entirely new design that contains functional elastomers, natural rubber, silica and canola oil. The inclusion of natural rubber and rapeseed oil ensures excellent winter grip that remains consistent in very low temperatures and throughout the tyre's lifespan. This clever compound also improves driving stability and wear resistance. The canola oil provides extra durability and makes the tyre resistant to punctures, wear and external impacts.
Furthermore, the innovative compound and high-tech tread design work effectively together to reduces rolling resistance. This means the WR A4 provides excellent wear resistance, as well as improved fuel efficiency.
- Silent Sidewall Technology improves driving comfort. The special rubber compound between the sidewall and tread prevents vibrations and sound passing into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
- Driving Safety Indicator (DSI) improves winter safety. Patented by Nokian, numbers on the centre rib of the tyre show the remaining tread depth clearly in millimetres. The DSI also includes the snowflake symbol of the Winter Safety Indicator (WSI), which indicates an increased risk of aquaplaning.
- Infofield is an innovation that improves safety and simplifies tyre maintenance. During a tyre change, the information area, with its additional fields, can be used to record the correct inflation pressures, the usage location and the tightening torque of the wheel nuts. This is useful as correct tyre pressure improves steering precision, reduces tyre wear and improves fuel efficiency.
- Flat Run Tyre Technology improves safety and offers drivers peace of mind. If the tyre deflates, a driver can continue for approximately 50 kilometres in a fully loaded car, and up to 150 kilometres if the car is only carrying the driver. This technology is available for some sizes of the WR A4.
- Purified oils make Nokian's tyres and manufacturing processes less harmful to the environment.
Research & Development
The company put its Finnish expertise to good use when designing the WR A4's compound, tread pattern and structure. The WR A4 is the result of thousands of hours of laboratory testing, computer modelling and testing in real life conditions.
Nokian spends more than half of its product development budget on relentless testing at the company's various facilities and tracks around the world. Nokian tested the safety properties of the WR A4 at its "White Hell" testing centre in Ivalo, Lapland. In addition to this, the tyre's wet and dry road performance was streamlined on test tracks in both Germany and Spain. Nokian's extensive testing means they have also been able to bring the slush properties of the WR A4 to a superior level.
Nokian WR A4 Features
- Functional performance siping improves winter grip on dry, wet and snow-covered roads
- Stable and balanced high speed performance
- Maximum ride comfort
Nokian WR A4 Reviews & Test
In ACE's 2017 SUV Winter Tyre Test, the WR A4 ranked fifth out of eight tyres. It received an overall label of "Recommended."
In AMS' Performance 18 Inch Winter Tyre Test from the same year, the WR A4 once again performed well. With testers noting its excellent dry grip and very low rolling resistance, the Nokian came out joint fifth with the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 and the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3.
Nokian WR A4 Sizes
The WR A4's size selection covers rim diameters of 16 to 21 inches and speed ratings H and W.
Some sizes employ Flat Run Technology, and many sizes are reinforced (marked XL) to offer the highest possible load capacity.


In the view of the majority of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, “perhaps the most compelling evidence” that Republicans sacrificed traditional redistricting criteria for partisan gain was a political scientist’s simulation of 500 possible congressional maps.
The Republican-drawn map was an extreme outlier compared with the simulations made by Jowei Chen of the University of Michigan, who has provided expert testimony in many redistricting cases. None of the simulations favored Republicans by anywhere near as much as the congressional map enacted in 2011, which gave the Republicans a 13-to-5 advantage. And partly on that basis, the court ruled that the map violated the state’s constitution.
But what about the remedial map recently adopted by the court? It is not an outlier to the same extent as the Republican-drawn map. But if you look at what 2016 statewide results would have been with the new map, the overall Democratic performance arguably would have been better than in all 500 of Mr. Chen’s simulations, according to an Upshot analysis.
One common measure of a congressional map is to look at the result of the median congressional district in the average statewide election (here, the five contests in 2016). The larger the gap between the median and the average statewide popular vote, the harder it is to win a majority of seats despite winning the popular vote. By that measure, the new map was better for the Democrats than all 500 of Mr. Chen’s simulations.
Another measure is simply how many districts the Democrats would have won in various statewide contests (here, the average of how many contests were won across the same five contests). Only one simulation was better for Democrats.
The strong Democratic showing compared with Mr. Chen’s simulations doesn’t necessarily indicate that the map is a Democratic gerrymander. For one, the simulations aren’t perfect. And they aren’t necessarily representative of realistic partisan-blind maps. To take a concrete example: The simulations often split the city of Pittsburgh, something few human map-drawers would choose to do given the requirement to avoid unnecessarily splitting municipalities.
Perhaps more important, the remedial map still slightly favors the Republicans with respect to the statewide popular vote.
In the average 2016 contest on the new map, Democrats would have carried an average of 8.4 districts (out of 18), even though Democrats won the statewide popular vote in the average contest. The median congressional district favored the Republicans by a point in the average 2016 contest.
Over all, the new court-ordered map comes very close to achieving partisan symmetry in an evenly divided state.
The seeming contradiction between the analysis based on partisan symmetry and one based on simulated nonpartisan congressional districts gets at the heart of what may be the next big debate in gerrymandering: whether nonpartisan maps should strive for partisan symmetry, or whether they should try to avoid political considerations altogether.
The question is important because both methods of analysis are routinely employed to identify Republican gerrymanders.
And it is likely to continue to be a question, because it emerges when Democrats are at a geographic disadvantage, as they often tend to be. Just look at Pennsylvania. Democrats waste more votes than Republicans by carrying urban areas, like Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, by more lopsided margins than the Republicans carry their best areas. The result is that the rest of the state, and therefore the rest of its districts, tend to favor Republicans.
If one believes that partisan symmetry should be a goal in redistricting, the new map is eminently fair. It gives both parties a similar chance to translate their votes to seats, and makes no compromises to do so; it still admirably adheres to standard nonpartisan criteria like compactness or minimizing county splits.
The Upshot analysis also helps address a more arcane matter in the debate about the new court-ordered map: why many nonpartisan analysts thought it favored Democrats, even though it seemed to score well — it wasn’t an outlier — by the measure of Mr. Chen’s analysis. The reason is simple: Most nonpartisan analysts have judged the map by today’s electoral landscape, while Mr. Chen’s analysis used elections from 2008 and 2010.
Back then, Pennsylvania’s political geography did not pose such a severe challenge to Democrats. But since then, the Democrats’ geographic disadvantage has worsened. State and national Democrats lost ground in traditionally Democratic areas in western and northeastern Pennsylvania where the party still excelled as late as 2008 and 2010; they gained additional ground in many urban and suburban areas where Democrats already had an advantage. As a result, Mr. Chen’s simulations imply that Democrats were at a notable geographic disadvantage in 2016, but not 2008 or 2010.
Whatever the limitations of these simulations, the fact remains that the court seemed to find this sort of analysis persuasive. The strong Democratic performance on the remedial map adopted last week may imply that the map was drawn with consideration for attaining partisan symmetry, and perhaps even specifically by the measure of average Democratic performance in 2016 statewide elections.

ON PAGE 2 ... WOMENS BASKETBALL
Wins Sixth Straight|
Dictionary.com defines a diplomat as one who uses skill and tact in dealing with others. On this basketball night, it was Muhlenberg that
Junior Jeff Stewart scored 21 points, junior Chris Huber continued his hot shooting with 17 points, and junior Jimmie Riggins recorded his first career double-double to lead an all-around team effort that gave the Mules (7-5, 3-3) their second win in a row.
Franklin & Marshall (7-6, 2-4) opened up a 19-11 lead nine minutes into the game, but Muhlenberg got baskets from five different players, including a three-point play by Stewart, in an 11-0 run to go ahead for good.
We came out a little slow today, but we kept ourselves in the game by not losing our composure, said junior Christopher Strachan, who had a game-high five assists and tied a career high with nine points. Earlier in the season we hurt ourselves by losing our composure when we fell behind early, but today we didnt.
Sharp passing and offensive rebounding led to easy scoring opportunities for the Mules, who shot 54.3 percent in the first half and 52.6 percent for the game. With the exception of three three-pointers by Huber, all of their first-half field goals came right around the basket.
Stewart shot 6-for-7 in the first half and led all scorers with 13 points at the break. He added five to his total in the first 75 seconds of the second half. Hubers fourth three-pointer of the game, two minutes into the second half, gave Muhlenberg a 50-32 lead.
The Diplomats would get no closer than 11 points the rest of the way. The Mules opened up a 22-point bulge (80-58) with 3:29 left before F&M closed the gap with three late three-pointers.
Riggins tied a career high with 11 points and pulled down a career-high 10 rebounds, half of them off the offensive glass. Junior Tom Scott scored six points, two on a driving baseline dunk early in the second half, and added five rebounds.
The win was the second straight against Franklin & Marshall for Muhlenberg, which moved into a tie for third place in the Centennial Conference. Its big to defeat them, said Strachan. It shows weve come a long way from last year. Last year, when we beat them it was a giant shock, but this year we felt from the beginning that we could get by them.

"Smart" undersea pipeline sends status reports to shore
Undersea oil pipelines are typically inspected about once every five years ... but what happens if one of them gives out between those inspections? That's where the Norwegian SmartPipe project comes in. Initiated in 2006, it's aimed at developing self-monitoring pipelines that continuously transmit real-time status reports to shore.
Developed by Norwegian research group SINTEF, the prototype pipelines created so far have been equipped with sensor-packed belts spaced 24 meters (79 ft) apart along the length of the pipe. These belts monitor factors such as pipewall thickness, tension, temperature and vibration.
Additional electronics, embedded in the pipeline's insulating outer layer of polypropylene, allow data to be wirelessly relayed from the various belts to the shore – or to an offshore drilling platform.
In tests performed last fall, 200 meters (656 ft) of the pipeline was lowered into Norway's Orkanger Harbor, to see how the electronics would handle being submerged in seawater. They reportedly did well, although some sensors were destroyed in subsequent reeling tests, in which the pipeline was reeled onto drums as it would be for transport. According to SINTEF, small modifications to the sensors should remedy that problem.
The SmartPipe project is now about to move into its pilot phase, in which the pipelines will actually be put to real-world use. An American oil company, which was previously looking into developing smart pipelines of its own, has expressed an interest in the technology.

ST. JOHN'S, NL: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s cross-country tour is stopping in St. John’s today showing how much money taxpayers are losing because Canadian oil is sold for less than its full value due to a lack of pipeline capacity. The tour features a large digital clock displaying losses going up in real time. The CTF’s analysis shows the federal government lost $6.2 billion between 2013 and 2018 and that number is going up by $3.6 million per day.
“The money Ottawa is losing by roadblocking pipeline projects matters for Newfoundland and Labrador because it could pay for important services here in the province,” said the CTF’s Atlantic Director, Paige MacPherson. “With a troubling debt load and high tax burden, Ottawa shouldn’t get in the way of better services and less taxes in the province.”
Revenues from Ottawa make up 37 per cent of Newfoundland and Labrador’s total 2019-20 budget.
Canada isn’t getting full value for oil due to a lack of pipeline capacity to reach foreign customers. Based on data released by the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the CTF calculated how much additional revenue the federal government would receive if Canadian oil sales received full value compared to the American price.
The lack of pipelines cost the federal government:
$6.2 billion between 2013 and 2018; and,
Another $3.6 million per day (based on projected loses of $6.6 billion between 2019 and 2023).
These figures only account for direct losses to the federal government and don’t include the cost of lost job opportunities, smaller household incomes, foregone revenue to energy companies and other costs to the Canadian economy due to a lack of pipelines.
Here are a few examples of the potential benefits for taxpayers if increased pipeline capacity captured full value for Canadian oil from 2013 to 2023:
Sixteen hospitals could be built based on the costs of the Corner Brook hospital redevelopment;
Over 24,000 new teaching positions in Newfoundland and Labrador could be fully funded for 10 years;
Pay off 93 per cent of the government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s debt;
All residents of Newfoundland and Labrador could be exempt from federal taxes for more than two and a half years.
“Canadian taxpayers are losing out on billions of dollars because we can’t get pipelines built and we aren’t receiving full value for our oil,” said the CTF’s Alberta Director, Franco Terrazzano. “That means Canadians have less money for everything from hospitals to teachers and taxpayers are stuck with a higher tax bill.”
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s tour is visiting every province to show how much money taxpayers are losing because governments haven’t encouraged pipeline construction. You can find the analysis here.

Soundproof the window What if the barking sound leaves through a window in your house? This can quickly be solved by hanging noise-reducing drapes on the window, and using a few more approaches like sealing gaps in the window frame with foam tape - material. Here's my that discusses how to utilize these methods and a few others.
Including a cover, luxurious toys and blankets to the dog cage can smother the barking and whimpering souds., I didn't even understand what a pet electronic camera was.
After a while, you understand that you can't really stop those individuals. And even if you could, there would always be other sources of noise, like thunderstorms. So, it's time to think of methods you can make your pet as comfy as possible. The Essentials of Soundproofing a Canine Cage or Kennel, There are various things you can do to make your pet dog's crate or kennel a calm area.
Ideally, the materials you're dealing with will be a bit of both. As with any soundproofing, it will require to be airtight in order to be the most efficient. Obviously,, as they need to be able to breathe. So none of the methods will totally stifle the sound.
Line the Crate or Kennel With (Soundproof) Blankets, DIY your own soundproofing and use regular old blankets and pillows to line the cage. If that stops working, there are also soundproof and moving blankets.
Basically, though, both can provide the mass and density which can assist you soundproof your pet's space. In fact, I've even noted which products are the finest on the marketplace. There's no need to duplicate the items I listed in the linked article (crate). I'll just point out some of the finest options for soundproofing canine cages.
Nevertheless, you know your pet best so you'll understand which type of products it's most lured to chew on. If your pet likes chewing, either do not utilize softer materials or put a chewable toy in the crate which will hopefully divert your pup's attention - budget. Once you have your blanket, you can line the bottom of the crate with it.
Naturally, if you already have a wire dog crate, you'll require to purchase a cover of the right size. Luckily, many covers come in different sizes. And if you don't have a wire crate currently, I'll discuss the merits of soft crates in a little while. However let's return to canine cage covers.
Just a few companies appear to be getting a lot of praise. If you wish to utilize your pet's dog crate as its outside pet dog home, you may be looking for a. Because case, something like the Petsfit Polyester cover would be a great option. The cover has windows on 2 sides, and you can entirely roll up the top and door flaps to enable for more airflow.
So, utilizing products like absorption sheets, acoustic foam and acoustic tiles, may be just the thing. To learn more on how they work and which products are the very best, you can rely on my short article on the finest soundproof foam materials. The thing that may present a little bit of a problem with foam materials is that some pets appear to have a personal vendetta against soft materials.
All cushioning in my house tends to find its way to the floors - best. To preemptively safeguard the foam, you can choose to only put it throughout the ceiling and the tops of the walls, anywhere your canine can't reach. You can soundproof the lower parts of the walls and floorings utilizing more durable materials, like MLV.
In addition, they usually have some type of padding to begin with, which makes them more comfy and quieter than wire crates. The Petsfit Indoor/Outdoor Soft Portable and Foldable Dog Crate is just about as fundamental as they come, and it has an extremely basic metal frame. You'll have the ability to roll up two walls and even the top of the crate.
So, the soundproof walls and polycarbonate transparent doors can totally shut down all outside sound. The doors instantly open and close thanks to proximity and weight sensors in and around the kennel. Likewise, the exact same sensors turn the ventilation system on only when the canine is in residence, so to speak.
However what could have encouraged these individuals to back this job? Well, it's by far the most attractive of all of these crates, being made to fit in with your house's wood furnishings. Like the Quiet Kennel, the Zen, Cage has proximity sensors which trigger the speakers, fans, and video camera.
Obviously, with these outrageous features, the Zen, Cage has to do with as costly as you can envision. Ford Noise-Canceling Kennel, Yes, you heard that right: the car manufacturer Ford is making its first foray into the world of soundproof canine crates. Among the first things that will catch your eye about this pet kennel is its appearance.
So whether you'll be able to keep it in the lawn is still in question. The fact that Ford has actually developed this technology makes sense when you think of it. They really utilized the very same Active Noise Control function they use in their vehicles to develop this kennel.
Alternative Solutions, White Noise, As I formerly discussed, many pet dogs have to do with as easy to frighten as they are excitable. You can use numerous soundproofing methods to soften the sounds which might aggravate your pet dog enough to begin barking. My next-door neighbor when informed me that he never ever leaves his pet alone without leaving the music or a fan on.
And it even disguises the sound of individuals strolling down in front of his house and the structural noise in the structure itself.
That's the primary factor you require to soundproof pet dogs crate and Kennel. In this post, we will discuss a couple of tested tips about how to soundproof a canine cage and stop pet dog barking in kennels.
A cage is an unique house portable canine home. It's the pet's sanctuary and bed. The primary function of a canine cage is to provide pet dog security, security, travel, reduce destructive behavior, and home training. Why Use a Dog Cage? There is more to a dog crate than providing comfort.
In a genuine sense, it is handy in canine training. The following are the leading benefits of using a dog cage. As a pet get utilized to utilizing the dog cage, it functions as a comfy location to pull away. For that reason, place the pet crate in a peaceful environment with fewer disturbances.

Pet dogs need to too use canine cages to protect them. Kinds Of Pet Crates It will be unjust to you if we do not assist you in choosing the finest dog cage.
Essential, you need to comprehend the type of canine crate you require for your pet dog. Canine dog crates come with various types depending upon the material used to make them. The following are the top types of pet dog crates. A plastic cage is created to hold up against heavy tear and wear.
The metallic dog crates are foldable. This makes them problem-free to keep in the home and when sleeping. Wood cages are elegant and durable.
I make sure you understand some of the ways which soundproofing the dog cage will benefit you. For us, it really worked well. Before we soundproofed our dog's crate, we were thinking about selling our family pet. There was no peace during the night. The pet dog would just bark for no reason.
If the pet's noise bothers you, consider purchasing a soundproof cage for pet dogs. most. Soundproof crates are modified crates that prevent the dog's sound from disturbing people around the pet. The cages include set up sound-absorbing materials such as panels and sound baffles. The soundproof dog crates soak up the sound and vibrations.
It can be more affordable to soundproof your canine's cage than buying a brand-new crate. The most essential thing you require to do is to soundproof your crate but likewise leave enough area for your pet dog to breath.

Pet dogs enjoy playing. You can quickly get your dog distracted. When your pet dog is playing, there will be no time for barking.
They would seem like they are being caged. No one likes it when they are caged. And dogs too don't value that either. You can train your pet dog to reside in the dog crate. When the pet dog declines to stay silent in the kennel, discipline it. You will just discipline it in a couple of days, and it will fine.

A drunk man who mistakenly thought a plane exit door was the entryway to the bathroom almost opened it mid-flight, causing a definite scare among other passengers on the Ryanair craft. In this trending weird news story that resulted in a $270 fine, 26-year-old Tomasz Mucha reportedly attempted to open the plane’s back exit; he was apparently too intoxicated on vodka and beer to tell the difference between it and the lavatory. United Press International shares the details on this near-accident that could have led to serious consequences this Thursday, July 24, 2014.
In what was in fact his very first time aboard a plane, Tomasz Mucha almost made his flight a very dangerous traveling experience (though it will certainly remain a memorable one). The passenger taking the Ryanair craft seemed to get very drunk in order to ease the tension surrounding his first flight thousands of feet in the air, but one drink too many led him to think that a plane door was in fact a bathroom.
A flight attendant was said to fortunately stop Mucha just in time before he tried to use the exit way as a lavatory pass. The aircraft itself was traveling from Krakow and was on its way to Dublin, Ireland, when the close call occurred. According to the press release, the young man had already become rather intoxicated before boarding the plane to keep calm, and continued having a few more beers once the flight had taken off.
AZ Central notes in this weird news incident that Mucha almost managed to open the back door. Before being noticed, he was able to lift up the handle and would have actually opened the exit had the air pressure within the plane at the time not made doing so nearly impossible.
A flight attendant finally spotted the drunk man and — calling for help from other plane staff — was able to bring him back to his seat. Local authorities were soon called, and Mucha was arrested the moment he left the Ryanair plane at Dublin Airport. No doubt the other passengers on the flight are simply grateful that this uncanny bathroom mistake that could have led to serious trouble was stopped before it really began.
“Do you realize how serious this could have been?” Judge James Faughnan asked during Mucha’s subsequent court appearance. The 26-year-old’s response was brief and to the point.
“Yes,” he said.
Mucha was slapped with a fine of roughly $270 for the close call and warned not to drink any alcohol before boarding his next flight. Just as drinking and driving don’t mix, it certainly seems the same rule goes for intoxication and flying.

Salem Academy & College inducts six into newly established Athletics Hall of Fame
Article Published by: journalnow.com
Laura Sides Watson was feeling humble.
She’d just joined Chuck Blixt, Jane Barkman Brown, Dianne Dailey, Sarah (Sally) Colhoun Engram, and Robert Esleeck as part of the inaugural class inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame for Salem Academy and College — and Brown was a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
“I think the other competitors are on a really high level, and that’s not how I see myself,” Watson says. “I’m still surprised, delighted to be included.”
Patricia Hughes, the athletic director for Salem College, says not to worry; Watson’s athletic achievements have made her a worthy hall of famer.
“She overcame great challenges,” Hughes says. “She’s one of our great success stories.”
At age 11, Watson was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. But she plowed ahead.
She joined a friend in trying out for the Salem Academy tennis team, but didn’t make the cut.
“Lorie Howard, the tennis coach [at the time], told me I had some athleticism,” Watson says. “So she suggested I try out for the field hockey team.”
She did, and she also tried out for soccer.
Watson lettered three times in both field hockey and soccer, and was basketball team manager from 1992 to 1994. She received various awards, including the soccer MVP award in 1994.
Watson attended Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., to play field hockey, but transferred back to Salem for her sophomore year. She played three years of collegiate field hockey and soccer. During college, Watson coached JV and varsity field hockey at Salem Academy for a year. After graduating from Salem in 1999 with a degree in Spanish, she went on to coach for another year.
Then her involvement in raising funds for diabetes ratcheted up.
She later ran five marathons and 11 half marathons, and since 2010, she’s raised more than $30,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
It’s clear why Watson was considered for Hall of Fame induction.
Establishing the Hall
The goal of the future Hall of Fame is to honor former student athletes, administrators, and others who have been integral to the Salem Academy and College’s athletics programs — people like Watson.
Salem Academy and College is split into two different campuses; Salem Academy is a boarding and day school for grades 9 through 12 while Salem College serves as one of the six higher education institutions in the city. Folks from both schools were be inducted in the Hall of Fame.
Lorie Howard, who has been athletic director for Salem Academy for the last 29 years, says the Hall of Fame was Hughes’ idea.
While Hughes has only been athletic director for Salem College for the past 18 months, she made the Hall of Fame one of her first orders of business.
“Establishing an Athletics Hall of Fame has been a goal of mine since I came to Salem a little more than a year ago,” said Hughes in a December press release. “We believe it’s important to honor and remember forever the legacies and achievements of Salem’s athletes, coaches, teams, and supporters to reinforce the wonderful history and tradition of Salem Academy and College athletics.”
Hughes says the inductions will be ongoing, perhaps annually or biannually.
The whole experience has been surreal for Hughes, who still chuckles over an encounter she had after she first suggested a Salem Hall of Fame.
“Someone said, ‘Why do that? We haven’t been around long enough,’” Hughes says. But the institution, she pointed out, has been around 247 years.
A banquet and ceremony was held Feb. 9 to honor the inaugural Hall of Fame class and the new Hall of Fame Showcase inside the Bryant Hall Athletic Center was unveiled.
More than 200 people attended the induction ceremony.
“We talked about the traditions at Salem Academy and College,” Howard says. “All of the inductees made such significant contributions to the institution. It was an incredible evening, a feel-good night.”
The other Hall of Famers
Several more former students were inducted in to the Hall of Fame for their contributions to Salem Academy and College.
Sally Colhoun Engram (Salem Academy ’75) was a two-sport athlete during the early years of organized sports at the school. Engram lettered three times in varsity tennis and twice in varsity basketball. She attended Sweet Briar College, where she played varsity tennis as a freshman and sophomore, and was named tennis team captain during her sophomore year. In 1977, Engram transferred to the University of North Carolina, where she competed on the JV tennis team and later received a bachelor’s degree in political science.
Jane Barkman Brown (Salem College ’74), was a three-time national swimming champion (once in 1965 and twice in 1968). She won two Olympic gold medals and once set a world record as a member of the U.S. team’s women’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay team. She later coached collegiately at Tennessee University, Princeton University, Old Dominion University, and Penn State University.
Dianne Dailey (Salem College ’71) served for 30 years as head women’s golf coach at Wake Forest University and retired following the 2017-18 season. Dailey, a four-time ACC Coach of the Year, was named LPGA Coach of the Year and inducted into the National Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2001.
Two former administrators were also inducted.
Chuck Blixt, a former executive at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and resident of Winston-Salem, is the father of Salem Academy grads Allison (’96) and Katie (’00). Blixt chaired the Salem Academy and College Board of Trustees from 2012 to 2014, after serving on the board from 2001 to 2014, and the Board of Visitors from 1997 until 2014.
He established the Blixt Family Endowed Fund for Faculty Enhancement at Salem Academy and established the Blixt Athletic Fields.
Robert E. Esleeck, now a retired Winston-Salem attorney, is a former member of the business faculty at Salem College. Esleeck conducted research and oversaw the institutional application process, leading the school’s entry into NCAA Division III in 2008. He also is credited with enhancing Salem’s athletic fields and facilities.

A few weeks ago, President Trump held a televised roundtable where he freewheeled about immigration, going way off the conservative script at several points and eventually promising to sign anything Congress sent him that had bipartisan support. Within a few days Trump had done a full U-turn: he issued a specific set of hard-right demands and insisted that he’d only sign a bill that included all of them.
Today, President Trump held a televised roundtable where he freewheeled about gun control, going way off the conservative script at several points and eventually promising that serious progress could be made if Congress just worked in a bipartisan way to send him a bill:
In a remarkable meeting, the president veered wildly from the N.R.A. playbook in front of giddy Democrats and stone-faced Republicans. He called for comprehensive gun control legislation that would expand background checks to weapons purchased at gun shows and on the internet, keep guns from mentally ill people, secure schools and restrict gun sales for some young adults. He even suggested a conversation on an assault weapons ban.
At one point, Mr. Trump suggested that law enforcement authorities should have the power to seize guns from mentally ill people or others who could present a danger without first going to court. “I like taking the guns early,” he said, adding, “Take the guns first, go through due process second.”
The declarations prompted a frantic series of calls from N.R.A. lobbyists to their allies on Capitol Hill and a statement from the group calling the ideas that Mr. Trump expressed “bad policy.” Republican lawmakers suggested to reporters that they remained opposed to gun control measures.
Guess what? The NRA was right: the president really does want to take away your guns. But it’s President Trump, not President Obama, who wants to do it.
And he wants to do it without bothering about due process. In a single sentence, he’s managed to alienate both conservatives and liberals. There’s literally no one who supports this idea. As for the rest, it’s dead on arrival. Republicans have no interest in any of it, and neither Paul Ryan nor Mitch McConnell is likely to allow anything like Trump’s proposal to come anywhere near a floor vote. Even his base isn’t going to support him on this.
This is the craziest shit we’ve seen from Trump since—oh, a few days ago, I suppose. The problem—aside from Trump being Trump—is that he has no one to consult about what kind of proposal might have a chance to gain Republican support if he pushes hard enough. That’s because there’s probably no one in the White House who supports even the tiniest shred of gun safety legislation. So Trump is on his own, causing chaos for his own party and guaranteeing that nothing will get done.

I made this card for my nephew who is turning 14 in just a few days. Can't believe he is growing up so fast.
I find it hard to make cards for teenagers. I've never had one of my own, so I am never sure of what appeals to them (and at what age).
This is the card I made for AJ's birthday. I cut the guitar from a piece of printed cardstock. Stamped the sentiment. Added "latte" colored pearls to the neck of the guitar. Hope he likes the card. If all else fails, I know he'll like his gifts!

PANEL HAVING RIMS BONDED WITH GLASS FIBERS AND POLYESTER RESIN Filed Dec. 15, 1965 nzom Emma 5.58501 uzou 2:6 329.
020m 26mm mwhmurJol 25mm 0 mmdawmwmfi 25mm 6 mweJomumc m 348 do ATT'YS United States Patent U.S. Cl. 161-43 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A panel structure is formed by molding separately two pans formed of glass fibers and polyester resin, each with inwardly-turned rims, the rims being brought into facing and generally nested relation with the rims meeting each other at an angle to provide a pocket therebetween. The pocket is filled with polyester resin and glass fibers to unite the pans while forming rigid border portions. A honeycomb paper core wet with phenolic resin is preferably united to the bottom core and in the assembly of the pans the upper pan is inverted and placed upon a fiat surface and the lower pan with its honeycomb core is pressed against the top pan and the structure cured.
This invention relates to a panel, and more particularly to panels useful for tables, desk tops, doors, and other types of panels.
This application constitutes a continuation-in-part of our copending application Ser. No. 413,594 filed Nov. 24, 1964.
In the formation of a panel for use as a table or similar structures, it has been considered necessary to provide a perimetric frame as a support for the structure. Such frame not only adds to the Weight, but represents a substantial cost in the panel manufacture.
We have discovered that extremely sturdy panels can be produced without the use of a perimetric frame and through the combination of pan-like bodies or panels which have inwardly-turned rims brought into nested or telescoping relation, and by employing for the pan-like panels glass fibers and resin and uniting the rims of such panels with glass fibers and resin, a unitary or integral structure is produced having great strength while being relatively light in weight.
A primary object, therefore, of the invention is to provide a panel structure formed of a minimum of parts r and possessing great strength while being light in weight. A further object is to provide a structure in which the nested rims of panels are united in an integral manner to provide a sturdy, perimetric frame for the panel structure. Yet another object is to-provide a panel of unique struc ture and a novel method for assembling the same. Other specific objects and advantages will appear as the specification proceeds.
The invention is shown in an illustrative embodiment by the drawing in which a broken sectional view of the panel structure embodying our invention is set out.
In the illustration given, we provide two glass fiber and resin pan-like bodies or panels 10 and 11. These panels have inwardly-tnrned and nested rims 12 and 13 which are also formed of glass fibers and polyester resin, and between the nested rims is a glass fiber and resin bond.
The panel may be formed with or without a core structure. In the illustration given, a honeycomb core formed of paper impregnated with phenolic resin is placed between the panels and united thereto by polyester resin bond. It will be understood that any other suitable core 3,450,593 Patented June 17, 1969 may be employed between the glass fiber and resin panlike bodies.
In the illustration given, a high-pressure laminate is bonded to the upper glass fiber and resin body. This high-pressure laminate, as described in detail in our copending application Ser. No. 413,594, comprises a number of sheets impregnated with phenolic resin, with the top sheets impregnated with melamine resin, one of the top sheets being preferably imprinted with a design and the design protected by a cover sheet preferably formed of rayon paper impregnated with melamine. In the practice of our present invention, the panel may be made with or without the high-pressure laminate above described.
In the operation of our invention, the glass fiber and resin pan-like panels having inwardly-turned rims are formed through the use of liquid polyester resin and glass fibers. These are preferably combined in the proportion of about one part of fibers to three parts of resin by Weight, or in other suitable proportions, and preferably containing a catalyst, such as methyl ethyl ketone. The resulting panel may be subjected to low pressure, such as, for example 5 to 6 pounds, and the panel cured at temperatures of about 70-125 F. to form a rigid, pan-like panel, as shown in the drawing.
The pan-like panels are then brought together with their rims in nested or telescoping relation and the space between the rims filled with glass fibers and polyester resin. If desired, a honeycomb core or the like may be inserted between the pan-like panels and a polyester resin bond provided between the panels and the core to unite the core to the panels. The entire structure is then cured, as above described, preferably at low pressure and at temperatures of about 70l25 F. to form a rigid, integrated panel, as shown in the drawing.
In order to protect the rim portions, at least, of the outermost panel, we coat the rim with gel coat, which is a resinous paint, rendering the surface impervious to sun rays. Should the high-pressure laminate not be used, the gel coat would also be applied to the top surface of the finished product.
The chopped glass fibers which are employed in the fabrication of the structure may be carried in any suitable resin which will thermoset under curing to form a flexible or elastic body, such as, for example, polyester resins, epoxy resins, etc.
In order to render the border portion of the finished panel structure rigid, while at the same time presenting a finished appearance, we prefer to have the rim of the upper or outer pan-like body turned downwardly in a generally straight direction, as shown in the drawing, while the rim of the lower panel or body is turned u wardly and outwardly in a flared direction to provide a pocket or space between the rims for receiving the glass fibers and polyester resin. 'On curing, the unitary resulting panel has a substantially rigid border forming, in effect, a frame for the resulting table top or like panel structures.
Specific examples illustrating the invention may be set out as follows:
EXAMPLE I In the manufacture of the high-pressure laminate shown in the drawing, kraft paper sheets, preferably having a basis weight of to 104 pounds and a caliper of .010 to 0.11, were employed for the sheets and impregnated with phenol formaldehyde resin #23291, having a solids content of 65 to 68 percent, which is the percent of actual resin contained in a resin/alcohol solution, and having a viscosity range of 450 to 550 cps. The kraft paper sheet was treated with the phenolic resin to a resin content of 29 to 31 percent and a volatile content of 7.5 to 8.5 percent by passing the paper through a resin bath to pick up the desired amount of resin, and each sheet was then dried. The two top sheets of the laminate are preferably impregnated with melamine resin. The high-pressure laminate was then inverted and there was sprayed upon the bottom of the laminate a body consisting of glass fibers and polyester resin in the proportion of one part fibers and three parts resin. The resin was Pittsburgh #5180 polyester resin, and the fibers were Owens-Corning glass fibers. A small amount of methyl ethyl ketone was added as a catalyst. The sprayed material was cured under pressure of about 6 pounds in an oven until the material solidified in the shape shown, with the panel having a downwardly-turned rim. The bottom panel was similarly formed by combining glass fibers and polyester resin, The two panels were brought together, as shown in the drawing, and glass fibers and polyester resin introduced between the rims of the pan-like bodies. The entire structure was then cured under temperatures of about 80 F. under a pressure of about pounds.
The finished, unitary structure was light, resilient, and extremely sturdy.
EXAMPLE II The process was carried out as described in Example 1 except that the glass fibers were employed in a polyester Plaskon resin #430.
EXAMPLE III The bottom pan or shell was formed by spraying into a fiberglass mold a fluid mixture of glass fibers, polyester resin and a catalyst, as described in Example I. Into the shell, the honeycomb core, formed of coiled paper impregnated with phenolic resin and while still wet with the resin, was pressed against the shell to form a good contact. The bottom shell and the honeycomb core were then cured at about 120 F. to form a rigid panel integrated and bonded with the phenolic core. The top shell was formed in a similar manner and cured. The top shell was then inverted and glass fibers and resin placed within the rim portion of it and the bottom shell, with the integrated honeycomb core placed within the inverted top shell. Additional glass fibers and resin were placed between the rim portions of the two shells. An inflated bladder or pneumatic cushion was then pressed firmly against the lower shell, while the top shell rested upon a fiat surface. Under this pressure, the bottom shell conformed to the irregularities of the core and top shell so as to form a sturdy bond, while at the same time the pressure gave the top shell a flat, even surface. The combined structure was then cured to form the finished integrated panel.
While in the foregoing specification we have set forth a specific structure and procedure in considerable detail for the purpose of illustrating embodiments of the invention, it will be understood that such details may be varied widely by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of our invention.
1. A panel structure comprising a pair of rigid, panlike bodies formed of glass fibers and polyester resin, said bodies having inwardly-turned rims in facing and generally nested relation with the rims forming an inverted V space therebetween, and glass fibers and polyester resin filling said space between said rims and integrally bonding them together.
2. The structure of claim 1 in which a honeycomb core is enclosed between said pan-like bodies and bonded thereto.
3. The structure of claim 1 in which a gel coat covers at least the outer surfaces of said rims.
4. The structure of claim 1 in which the rim of the outer panel is substantially straight while the rim of the inner panel is turned upwardly and inwardly at an inclination to provide said space between said rims for receiving glass fibers and polyester resin to provide a nonfiexing, rigid border border for said panel structure.
5. A panel structure comprising a pair of rigid, panlike panels formed of glass fibers and polyester resin, said panels having facing inwardly-turned rims in nested relation and meeting each other at an angle to form a pocket therebetween, glass fibers and polyester resin in said pocket between said rims and bonding them together, a honeycomb core between said panels, and a polyester resin bond uniting said panels and said core.
6. In a method for forming a table panel, the steps of forming two pan-like panels of glass fibers and polyester resin, curing said panels, bringing the panels together with their rims in facing angular relation, introducing glass fibers and resin into the space between the nested rims, and curing the structure at temperatures between and F. to integrate the rims.
7. In a method for forming a panel, the steps of forming two shells of glass fibers and polyester resin with perimetric rims, pressing a honeycomb paper core wet with phenolic resin against the bottom shell, curing the core and shell to integrate same, inverting the top shell and placing the bottom shell with the core therein with the rims of the two shells in telescoping relation with an inverted V pocket therebetween, introducing glass fibers and resin into the pocket between the telescoping rims, pressing the bottom rim against the core and the top shell against a flat surface, and curing the structure at temperatures between 70 and 125 F. to integrate the rims.

Online Pharmacies and Generic Drugs – Affordable Healthcare Options for All
Online pharmacies guarantee striking low prices
When it comes to purchasing medications, many individuals are seeking ways to save on healthcare costs. Online pharmacies have emerged as a popular option, offering low prices that are hard to ignore. These pharmacies compete to provide the lowest prices on medications, making it an attractive option for those looking to save money.
One of the reasons online pharmacies are able to offer lower prices is due to their lower overhead costs. Unlike brick-and-mortar pharmacies, online pharmacies do not have to invest in a physical store or pay for utilities and staffing. This allows them to pass on the savings to their customers. Additionally, online pharmacies have the advantage of being able to purchase medications in bulk directly from the manufacturers, further reducing costs.
However, it is important to note that not all online pharmacies are legitimate or offer quality medications. It is crucial for individuals to compare prices and read reviews before making a purchase. Trusted websites such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) can provide information on verified and reputable online pharmacies.
“I was amazed when I saw the prices of medications on online pharmacies. It was significantly lower than what I was paying at my local pharmacy. I decided to give it a try and I have been saving a lot of money ever since.” – Sarah
By opting for online pharmacies, individuals can access medications at strikingly low prices. This is especially beneficial for those with low incomes who struggle to afford the high costs of prescription medications.
- Online pharmacies offer lower prices due to lower overhead costs and bulk purchasing.
- Comparing prices and reading reviews are important to ensure the legitimacy and quality of online pharmacies.
Low-income individuals share stories of how generic drugs have improved their lives
Access to affordable healthcare is a pressing issue for many low-income individuals in the United States. Rising healthcare costs, especially for medications, can place a significant strain on their finances. However, the availability of generic drugs has provided a ray of hope for those struggling to afford their medications.
Generic drugs are identical or bioequivalent to their brand-name counterparts but are sold at a fraction of the price. They contain the same active ingredients and provide the same therapeutic benefits, making them a cost-effective alternative.
Many individuals with low incomes have shared their stories of how generic drugs, including Elocon cream, have made a positive impact on their lives. These testimonials highlight the immense cost savings that generics offer, allowing individuals to access the necessary medications without breaking the bank.
One such individual is Sarah Bennett, a single mother from New York. Sarah, who works multiple jobs to support her family, struggled to afford the brand-name version of Elocon cream to treat her son’s eczema. However, after switching to the generic version, she noticed a significant decrease in her medication expenses, allowing her to allocate funds for other essential needs.
“Using the generic version of Elocon cream has been a game-changer for us,” Sarah says. “Not only does it effectively manage my son’s eczema, but it also allows us to save a considerable amount of money every month.”
Sarah’s story is not an isolated case. Several studies and surveys have shown that opting for generic drugs can lead to substantial savings. According to a report by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), generic drugs can be up to 85% cheaper than their brand-name counterparts. This significant price difference makes a significant impact on the overall healthcare expenses of low-income individuals, enabling them to afford essential medications.
The FDA report also revealed that in 2019 alone, generic drugs saved consumers in the United States over $300 billion. These savings have proven to be a lifeline for low-income individuals who would otherwise face difficult choices between paying for medications or meeting other basic needs.
Ensuring Equal Access to Healthcare with Generic Drugs
Generic drugs play a crucial role in ensuring affordable healthcare options for low-income individuals. By providing high-quality, cost-effective alternatives, generic drugs help bridge the gap between limited resources and necessary medical treatment.
It is essential to educate individuals about the safety and efficacy of generic drugs to address any concerns or misconceptions they may have. This can be achieved through reliable sources of information such as the FDA’s website, which provides detailed explanations and guidelines on the approval process and regulations for generic drugs.
In conclusion, the availability of generic drugs has been a game-changer for low-income individuals in need of affordable healthcare. The stories and testimonials from individuals like Sarah Bennett highlight the immense impact that generic drugs have on their well-being, both in terms of cost savings and access to essential medications. By recognizing the value of generic drugs and ensuring widespread education, we can continue to empower low-income individuals and provide them with the healthcare options they deserve.

The convenience and accessibility of purchasing medications online
When it comes to buying medication, online pharmacies offer a convenient and accessible option for many people. The process is simple and can be done from the comfort of one’s own home.
To purchase medications online, users typically need to create an account on the pharmacy’s website. They can then browse through the available products, which include both non-prescription and prescription medications.
Ordering process and verification
Once the desired medication is selected, customers need to provide information such as their shipping address and payment details. For prescription medications, the online pharmacy may require the user to upload a copy of their prescription or provide the prescription information for verification purposes.
It is crucial for customers to ensure that they are buying from a legitimate online pharmacy. This can be done by checking for verified seals or certifications on the website. It’s also important to read reviews from other customers to gauge the pharmacy’s reputation and reliability.
Potential risks and precautions
While buying medications online offers convenience, there are potential risks involved. It is essential to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to ensure one’s safety.
One potential risk is the presence of counterfeit or substandard medications in the market. To avoid this, it is advisable to consult with healthcare professionals before purchasing any medication online. They can provide guidance on choosing the right medication and help verify the legitimacy of the online pharmacy.
It’s also important to be aware of the potential for drug interactions or allergies. Before purchasing any medication online, individuals should understand their medical history and make sure the selected medication is suitable for them. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help ensure the medication is safe and appropriate.
By following these precautions, individuals can take advantage of the convenience and accessibility of online pharmacies while minimizing the potential risks involved.
Why Choose Generics?
When it comes to purchasing medications, many individuals are faced with the decision between brand-name drugs and their generic counterparts. Generic drugs are essentially the same as brand-name drugs in terms of safety, effectiveness, and quality, but they are typically sold at a much lower price. Here are some key reasons why people choose generics:
- Cost savings: One of the biggest advantages of choosing generic drugs is the significant cost savings. According to a study conducted by the Association for Accessible Medicines, generic drugs saved the U.S. healthcare system approximately $253 billion in 2018 alone.
- Equivalent effectiveness: Generic drugs must meet the same strict regulatory standards as brand-name drugs in order to be approved by regulatory bodies such as the FDA. This means that they must contain the same active ingredients and be bioequivalent to the brand-name version, ensuring that they have the same therapeutic effect.
- Availability and accessibility: Generic drugs are widely available and accessible, making them a convenient option for individuals in need of affordable medication. They can be purchased at various pharmacies, including online drugstores, without the need for a prescription in some cases.
- Trust and confidence: According to a survey conducted by the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, 74% of Americans have a positive perception of generic drugs. These medications have been used for decades, and their safety and efficacy have been well-studied and documented. Choosing generics provides individuals with a trusted and reliable treatment option.
- Insurance coverage: Many insurance plans offer lower copayments or cost-sharing for generic drugs compared to brand-name drugs. This can further reduce the out-of-pocket expenses for individuals who opt for generic medications.
It is important to note that while generics are generally safe and effective, it is always recommended to consult with healthcare professionals before making any decisions regarding medication usage. They can provide guidance and answer any questions or concerns you may have about switching to generic drugs.

Online drugstores also provide the option to have medications delivered directly to their doorstep, saving them time and effort.
Additionally, online pharmacies are accessible to customers across the country, regardless of their geographical location. This is particularly beneficial for individuals living in remote areas or those who have limited access to transportation. They can now conveniently access the medications they need without having to travel long distances or face any geographic barriers.
Potential Savings and Discounts
One of the key reasons why people opt for online drugstores is the potential savings they offer. Online pharmacies have lower overhead costs compared to traditional pharmacies, allowing them to pass on these savings to their customers in the form of lower prices. This is particularly advantageous for individuals with limited financial resources or those without insurance coverage.
Furthermore, online drugstores often provide various discounts and promotional codes that customers can take advantage of. These discounts can significantly lower the cost of medications, making them even more affordable for individuals on a tight budget. Customers may also benefit from bulk purchase options or loyalty programs that offer additional savings.
Wide Range of Medications
Online drugstores offer a comprehensive range of medications, catering to a variety of healthcare needs. Customers can find a wide selection of generic drugs, including Elocon cream, as well as brand-name medications. This allows individuals to choose the option that best suits their preferences and budget.
Generic drugs, in particular, are a popular choice among customers due to their cost-effectiveness.

This makes them a viable and affordable option for individuals who require long-term or recurring medication treatments.
Ensuring Legitimacy and Quality
While online drugstores offer convenience and cost savings, it is essential to ensure the legitimacy and quality of the pharmacy before making a purchase. Customers should compare prices and read reviews to determine the reliability and reputation of the online pharmacy. Validating the authenticity of the pharmacy is crucial to avoid counterfeit medications or fraudulent practices.
It is also important for customers to consult with their healthcare professionals before purchasing medications online. This ensures that the chosen medication is suitable for their specific needs and medical condition. Healthcare professionals can provide guidance and advice on the appropriate dosage and usage of the medication.
Overall, online drugstores provide a wide variety of low-cost medications to customers across the country, including Elocon cream and other generic options.
