Researchers have proven that just about any material can be 3-D printed. We’ve seen materials such as polymers, ceramics, glass, concrete, organ tissues, and even extraterrestrial soil go through the additive manufacturing process to create functional objects.
And now, in what appears to be the final frontier of additive manufacturing, engineers at HRL Laboratories have now achieved the impossible—3-D printing of high-strength aluminum alloys, specifically Al7075 and Al6061.
Their secret? Zirconium-based nanopowders.
In a process called nanoparticle functionalization, Hunter Martin and Brennan Yahata, engineers in HRL’s Sensors and Materials Laboratory, added “specially selected nanoparticles” to high-strength alloy powders and fed them through a 3-D printer. The printer layers the powders and fuses the layers to each other with a laser, eventually creating the final three-dimensional object.
“Of the thousands of commercially available metal alloy systems, only a handful of about 10 alloys can be readily 3-D printed,” Yahata says in a video.
Metals are ordinarily 3-D printed with alloy powders that are layered and laser-heated, which melts and solidifies the layers. But there are some metals that are unweldable, meaning they cannot stand up to the welding process without falling apart, or “hot cracking.”
And if you wanted to build an airplane with Al7075 or Al6061—two unweldable alloys that are desirable for the aircraft and automotive industries—you’d have to get out your rivet gun and start riveting.
But the nanoparticles used in the additive manufacturing process prevent hot cracking of unweldable alloys. During melting and solidification, the nanoparticles act as nucleation sites for the desired alloy microstructure, preventing hot cracking and allowing retention of full alloy strength in the manufactured part, according to HRL’s news release.
HRL researchers are also using their nanoparticle functionalization process to make other unweldable alloys weldable.
“Additive manufacturing of metals is essentially equivalent to welding,” Martin says in the video. “You’re taking layer by layer and welding each layer on top of another. So, that adds the constraint that the metals you put in there, generally have to be weldable. So what we did at HRL was we took an unweldable metal and made it weldable—so they can now be processed in conventional additive manufacturing equipment.”
It might soon be time to toss the rivet guns.
Their paper, published in Nature, is “3D printing of high-strength aluminium alloys” (DOI: 10.1038/nature23894).

Stop using polythene, urges social activistTNN | Oct 24, 2012, 04.28 AM IST
ALLAHABAD: City-based social activist Rajendra Tiwari "Dukanji" has appealed to people to stop using polythene to save environment. He is visiting Ramleela and Durga Puja pandals and distributing pamphlets urging people to take oath against use of polythene.
Dukanji claim that so far 8,000 people have taken the oath to boycott polythene. "I have been appealing devotees to throw pujan articles, flowers and other articles into the dustbins kept at different ghats by the nagar nigam so that pollution level in the Ganga and Yamuna could be checked," he said.
Dukanji added that he has been advising people to use bags made of clothes or jute or paper for daily needs. He has also asked tea vendors to use earthen pots instead of plastic cups.
These efforts are being made for a clean and green Mahakumbh and ban on polythene would help checking pollution in the Ganga and Yamuna, he added.

Jobs report shows more workers returning to office
Strong month for US economy, but hospitality hiring slows
Hiring at restaurants, bars and hotels slowed in April, falling about 20 percent from March, according to government figures released Friday.
Still, leisure and hospitality, the industry most affected by the pandemic, hired more workers than any other last month as the overall economy added a robust 428,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.6 percent, the government said.
It was “another strong month of job growth,” said Mike Fratantoni, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association, noting that job growth has averaged 523,000 in the past three months. That is “much faster than can be sustained,” he cautioned in a statement.
In a promising sign for office landlords, the data showed people are returning to their desks. The number of employed people working at home fell in April to 7.7 percent, down from 10 percent in March.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recognized in a letter to shareholders last month that “working from home will become more permanent in American business.”
The bank expects about half its employees to work in-person full-time, while 40 percent will embrace a hybrid model and 10 percent will work from home full-time.
Manufacturing saw the second strongest job growth, adding 55,000 positions, while retailers grew their headcount by 29,000 to reach 284,000 jobs above its pre-pandemic level.
Employment in leisure and hospitality remains 1.4 million, or 8.5 percent, lower than in February 2020.
Some 17,000 people were hired last month to work at warehouses or storage facilities. That sector remains well above pre-pandemic employment levels. Amazon, however, will halt its aggressive strategy to buy and staff industrial real estate after booking a $3.8 billion loss on its investments there.
While wages are rising slower than inflation, the robust labor market is likely to support already strong demand for housing, according to Fratantoni.
Despite rising interest rates, “we expect that many potential homebuyers will continue to be in the market, given their strong financial position,” he said.

Event title: GDPR Technical Workshop
Location: Digital Exchange Bradford
Date: 20th March 2018
We would like to thank the Digital Exchange in Bradford for providing spacious and sufficient facilities for the 2nd YCSC meeting of 2018. We hope all attendees found the GDPR Workshop useful, it was great to see so many new and familiar faces at the event.
GDPR is now an extremely hot topic, with its implementation now less than 3 months away. With this in mind, our GDPR Technical Workshop was the perfect opportunity for individuals to gain a better understanding of what they must be doing now to ensure that they are complying with the new law on the 25th May 2018.
With upwards of 18 attendees for the GDPR Workshop, we would once again like to thank Laura Dempsey from Terabyte IT and Sarah Clarke of Infospectives for providing the audience with two great presentations, discussing the different aspects of the GDPR and the effects it will have on organisations.
A big thank you to Digital Catapult/CRK Consulting and the University of Bradford for organising the event.
Meeting started at 1pm
- Laura Dempsey, Managing Director of Ltd, kicked proceedings off, giving all attendees the opportunity to introduce themselves with a 30-second pitch.
- Laura then provided the audience with an insight into the GDPR, taking the audience through the 12 ICO compliances of GDPR which include:
– Individual rights
– Subject/access requests
– Data protection officers
– Data Breaches
– Legal basis for processing personal data
– Communicating privacy information
– Information you hold
– Data protection by design
It is vital to use this checklist and other Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) resources to work out the main differences between the current law and the new GDPR.
Laura then highlighted the personal data categories, explaining where data can be held safely, before summarising her presentation with a guide on the countries that will be affected by the new GDPR.
- A mid-session interval then provided attendees with 20 minutes of networking.
- Linked in closely with Laura’s presentation, Sarah Clarke then provided the audience with further information on the GDPR, going through where to start and what is enough for the new regulation. Sarah highlighted the risks, lawful basis, Data Protection Impact Assessment and encryption aspects of GDPR, before providing the audience with some insightful ALGORITHMS;
‘Being afraid is NOT the same as being at risk’
‘Being at risk is NOT the same as being at immediate or intolerable risk’
‘IGNORING, OBSCURING, OR BLINDLY ACCEPTING RISK IS BOTH IMMEDIATELY AND INTOLERABLE’
To conclude her talk, Sarah gave some key pointers to take away from the session, indicating that GDPR will never be 100% but you have to defend your pragmatism and that you should always show your workings out, and if in doubt you should do a DPIA (Data Protection impact Assesment).
- To conclude the meeting, a quick Q&A session was provided, giving attendees the opportunity to ask any further queries or questions they had about the GDPR.
Meeting closed at 3pm
Our next YCSC meeting is taking place on the 16th May, to be held at the Digital Media Centre in Barnsley. The subject focus will be IOT (Internet of Things), where there will be a technical workshop, providing attendees with a hands on opportunity to learn about the ever increasing threats now associated with the Internet of Things.
Further details of the event will be provided in due course.

Arrived at court this morning and found out a juror had called in sick.
Noted also the Frank Carson was not present in court, Percy Martinez advised the court that he was misinformed but there was still an assembly of the attorneys this morning. He was told Ct. was canceled.
They discussed a little bit about finishing Dr. Leo tomorrow, as they have also scheduled other witnesses for tomorrow. If Dr. Leo is not finished tomorrow he will not be able to return until about 14 May.
Judge Zuniga talked about some scheduling issues and there is some days where jurors need time off during the week of 20 May. So it appears possibly at this point there will be no court that week. In addition on May 28 and 29th it appears also there is a conflict in scheduled with a juror and an attorney, so there will be no court those days either.
About that time Judge Zuniga stated this case may not be finished until the beginning or middle of June.
Unknown if any’s court is scheduled for tomorrow, due to the juror.
No podcast tonight.

Manchester math scores take a dip in NECAP test
Eighth-graders scored sharply lower in writing on the most recent test while 11th graders improved considerably, according to results released Friday.
The NECAP's replacement, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium test, will be required in 2015 as part of the Common Core standards. Manchester officials previously said they will consider seeking a waiver to use a different assessment test.
At the Henry J. McLaughlin Middle School, 26 percent were found to be proficient or above in writing compared to 57 percent the prior year, a 31-point decline.
"The important thing for us to do is break down and compare the same pool of students year to year and see what their growth has been over time," Livingston said.
In Manchester, Grade eight math scores dropped by eight points, while grades three and five each dropped by seven points.
Overall, Manchester students scored lower than the state as a whole in all three subject areas tested: reading, math and writing.
"Our teachers have worked hard to shore up the weaknesses in classroom writing instruction and improve the elements that needed to be stronger," Principal Christine Martin said in the school district statement.

European Parliament denounces Russian ‘gay propaganda’ laws
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the upcoming presidential election in Russia today clearly denouncing the regional laws which ban ‘gay propaganda’ around minors.
Three other regions have similar laws in place already.
One MEP said the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky would be “rolling his grave”.
The parliamentary resolution reminds Russia of its obligations under several international human rights agreements, including the European Convention on Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The European Parliament “strongly condemns the adoption by the Legislative Assembly of St Petersburg of a law against propaganda on sexual orientation”, and “equally condemns similar laws adopted in the Ryazan, Arkhangelsk and Kostroma regions”.
The Parliament further “calls on all Russian authorities to stop restricting freedom of expression in relation to sexual orientation or gender identity”.
It calls on Catherine Ashton, the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative, “to convey the European Union’s opposition to these laws”.
Earlier Michael Cashman MEP, Co-President of the Intergroup on LGBT Rights, had said that the laws’ “starting point is that homosexuality is wrong, but what is wrong is the promotion of intolerance and discrimination!”.
Sophie in ‘t Veld MEP, Vice-president of the LGBT Intergroup, also commented: “Tchaikovsky and Constantinovich must be rolling over in their graves. Such laws are simply unacceptable; if Russia isn’t serious about respecting the European Convention on Human Rights, it should simply call the bluff and leave the Council of Europe altogether. And more than statements, these grave human rights abuses must have consequences for the EU-Russia relationship!”
250,000 people worldwide had signed a petition protesting the law and it was condemned by British and American governments before Russia’s second city pushed ahead last week.
Other Russian regions Ryazan, Arkhangelsk and Kostroma already hinder the promotion of homosexuality in public but St Petersburg’s international stature has brought the issue to the fore.
Meanwhile, 200 people attended a protest in Berlin today outside the Russian Embassy.
Marieluise Beck, the Head of the Commission on Eastern European Politics in the German Bundestag said: “We express solidarity with the LGBT community in Russia.
“No one forced Russia to join the Council of Europe. Joining, however, Russia signed under the European Convention on Human Rights, which includes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.”
Protesters then marched through the streets of Berlin chanting slogans condemning homophobia in Russia.

Copyright 1998 (winter) Wolves Creek Pictures
This film was made right before Ahguy Impossible (which is not on the main page). Its a cool movie like stargate where a gate with different markings makes a worm hole to another dimension. Starring Mantha. Mantha travels to a land through the orengate where cats are constantly tortured and slaves of the Gods. Mantha is troubled by what she sees and fights to free the slaves but eventually gets captured by one of the Gods and beaten and enslaved like the other cats. Mantha plots to over-throw the Gods empire but first she must figure a way to get back to the cat homeworld back through the Orengate. While tricking one of the Gods by playing dead, she escapes and manages to free some cats before the Gods find out and begin a super chase scene over sand dunes. The special effects of the Gods flying vehicles are so awesome, you can even see the strings pulling them along. Once Mantha finds a way back to the porthole a Dorky time warp scene happens and Mantha with some other cats emerge from the porthole without any fur. Some crappy claymation used along with the worst special effects and acting ever, just like the movie Stargate. This movie is also part of the Mantha Beat Series where all the movies are connected. Also the Special addition of Orengate is coming out this summer along with a new poster.
The DVD will contain the directors butt in widescreen along with some out-takes and how they did the crappy special effects. It also contains dumb comments from the cast and crew and a Mantha Beating Training School special.
The Mantha Beat movie series consist of: (in chronological order)
Beating Mantha......Available on DVD and VHS.
Escape From the Gods..... VHS, DVD in production!
Attack of the Manthas...VHS and DVD soon.
Beatforce One........VHS and DVD.
Orengate.............VHS and Special DVD addition.
Orengate 2............VHS coming to DVD.
Planet of the Cats....DVD only, soon!
After what happened in the first Orengate movie, Mantha needs a rest and travels to Marmus for some Rest and Relaxation. But little does she know that her co-worker at the Stugate labs is messing around with the strange time/space warp Orengate found in the desert. Marmalade unintentionally activates the gate and is transported to the time and land of the Torture Gods. Mantha quickly comes back and since she was the only Mantha to survive the first film, she has to travel into the Orengate to save her Stu co-worker. Once there she is captured by the main Torture God Beatus (Magnon) and taken to the Palace of Beat. There she realizes that Marmalade is trapped along with other cats who are the gods slaves. Soon Mantha leads an escape mission from the palace and tries to find a way back to the Orengate porthole. Along the way she runs into many torture gods who do nothing but BEAT. It's up to Mantha to save Marmalade and the other slave cats. She must transport them back to her time before the microwave at the lab explodes and destroys the Orengate which would leave Mantha and the others trapped in the Beat world. Rated R for extreme Mantha Beating scenes and a dorky sword fight between Cro Magnon and Sewer Guy. Copyright 2001 WCP
Best Mantha beating scenes since How the Beat Stole Beatfest

The different thematic presentations used in literary pieces are all utilized specifically to represent the messages that the authors aim to share to their readers. This is a specific path of literary development that has been used through the years and has been a specific feature of most classical literary pieces. Among the most known authors to use this particular approach to creating literary craft are that of Shakespeare and Chaucer. Understandably, it could be observed how thematic presentations affect the underlying message that the writers actually want to send to their audience.
In the discussion that follows, Chaucer and Shakespeare’s works shall be assessed as to how they effectively made use of comedy as a much easier presentation of the controversies that the society has to live with at present. Humor is an important factor that Shakespeare used in his writing of the Twelfth Night as well as did Chaucer in his story of the Canterbury Tales. Both authors effectively utilized the humor to define social issues during their time that characterized the communities they were living in. Their characters and the plots as well as the settings they created naturally allowed them a better essence of utilizing comedy to the fullest. TO understand this matter better, the said writings of both writers shall be better assessed in the discussion that follows, thus giving a proper vision on how the authors tried to manipulate comedy as a thematic presentation that intend to manifest their message to the audience.
Chaucer and Shakespeare’s Presentation of the Society
The middle ages were considered to be years of bright and specifically light experiences for the society; a particular flourishing moment especially on the part of literary developments. Undoubtedly, this era has opened the path towards a more expressive sense of ideas among writers in the society. With the use of their stories, many writers also tried their best to mirror the truths behind the society’s development during the said time. Utilizing the truths from the most controversial issues in the society, writers during this time tried to make it easier for their readers and their audience to relate to the themes that they are presenting within each piece of written craft. Although this era was considered bright and promising for many, there are still some issues of social chaos that occurred during the said time of concentration.
Likely, social stratification is one of the most common social issues dealt with by the society during this era. The provision given to the elite society is way better than to the considerations given to the poor sectors of the community. This has been used by both Chaucer and Shakespeare in their aim of reaching out to the audience in a well mannered position that would not make their presentation much heavier than it is supposed to be. As for example, Viola’s mischief in the story of the Twelfth Night was rather presented by Shakespeare in a picture that derives between the femininity of the character and the conflict it has with the situation she has become subjected to. Her need of posing as a man and even getting involved with misconceptions from the people around her was a test she had to face. The events that covered the being of Viola were practically humored in a way that Shakespeare was careful enough not to make the said hindrances and challenges some primary problems that would cause the character’s role to be deemed as a tragic state of situation for the whole play.
Meanwhile, the collection of the Canterbury tales that Chaucer introduced to the society was rather a craft that was full of symmetry that the stories shared in common with each other. The connection he created between his characters from each story made this collection of tales a huge series that involves the life of one to that of the other. The connection that each individual has with the other had been gradually shown to the readers in a way that the characters were presented in a humorous manner, not actually seeing the depth of the situations in a much serious manner. Instead of going through the problem seriously, most of the characters in this collection of tales knew how to handle the different challenges in their lives with better view of a tomorrow that is ready to give them the happiness that they deserve. This way, the story became lighter to accept and easier to understand for the readers.
Putting Comedy into Work for Social Information
There are instances during the classical times that human individuals only knew about their own circle of community. The saturation on their realization of the truth outside that circle is very strict that it is sometimes impossible for the elites to know of the situation of the much lesser sector of the society compared to their lives. Although in some cases, they may know something about the other members of the society, this knowledge is not enough to motivate them to act towards the possible hardships the others are experiencing. Hence, it could be observed how Chaucer and Shakespeare, both great playwrights of their time, did their best to involve the society in a much lighter manner through inserting humor into their stories. Believably, it is through this that the birth of social awareness has been given way. Even though the presentations of truth were very light in both stories, the strength of the message remains which practically enticed the readers and the audiences back then to act upon the social change that both stories suggest to happen.
Literature is a marking etch in the face of the human history that basically entices the readers to learn more about life and get the best out of the most specific controversies and issues that the society is experiencing. With the use of comedy and humor making It easier for the readers to find the underlying message of every story, authors Chaucer and Shakespeare were able to captivate the attention of the people without giving birth to any social rebellion or any matter as such.

Chinese female mountaineer Luo Lili regretted David Sharp's death in the Mount Qomolangma but said the British climber was at a nearly unrescuable height.
"Mountaineers all know the height above 7,000m is very dangerous and usually deemed as an unrescuable height," said Luo on Saturday, who just returned from a May 15 scaling of the world highest peak.
Sharp, 34, ran out of oxygen and died in a snow cave just 300 meters from the summit on his way down the Himalayan mountain. Dozens of people had walked right past him, unwilling to risk their own lives.
The world is angry. Sir Edmund Hillary, who was on the team that first surmounted Mt Qomolangma in 1953, called it "horrifying" that climbers would leave a dying man.
Luo disagreed with Hillary.
"At 8,534 metes where Sharp died, every climber feels worn out and was unable to offer help," she said.
"I had once been trapped at where Sharp died and a dozen climbers, including David Sharp, walked past me."

Great for displaying and showing off.
I sent you a few videos and ideas on IG to improve the design of the case. Very satisfied customer and plan to be back when you release the 4 booster pack case.
I'm really pleased with the quality of the ETB cases. They're thick and not too tight compared to some other cases I've used. The magnetic cover is really sturdy. The PSA slab holders fit perfect and look great as well. Will definitely purchase more!
I ordered the slab holder and the ETB holder and both work excellent.

Incorporate a statement necklace and a cute handbag to really upgrade this look. If you’re looking for a casual contrast, pair this DIY blouson dress form t-shirt with converse chucks and you will be all set.
Give it a try, and lets start making this DIY blouson dress from t-shirt!
How do you sew elastic on fabric?
For this DIY blouson dress from t-shirt, you will be attaching elastic directly to the inside waist of the garment. There are a few important steps to take when you sew elastic directly on fabric.
- Measure and cut the elastic band.
- Sew the ends of the elastic band to create a complete circle.
- Divide the elastic band into four evenly spaced lengths. Mark the elastic band with chalk or a straight pin.
- Divide the garment into four evenly spaced lengths. Mark the inside of the garment with chalk or a straight pin.
- Match the marks on the elastic band with the inside of the garment. Pin the four quarters of the elastic to your fabric to secure.
- Sew the elastic to the inside of the fabric
- Fold the fabric over the elastic band to cover
- Topstitch along the bottom edge of the folded fabric to give a finished look.
I love this DIY blouson dress silhouette. It features a skintight skirt bottom that closely snugs against the hips. The dress hugs nicely on the waistline, and also give an hourglass look to your figure.
Add a statement accessory, like a necklace, to upgrade the look for going out. Furthermore, pair the dress with converse kicks for a casual outing.
- Oversized T-shirt
- Sewing Machine
- Fabric Chalk
- Measuring Tape
- Straight Pins
- For the top bodice, fold the t-shirt in half and lay it flat. Measure 16 ½” from the highest point on the shoulder, and mark with chalk. Draw a straight line across the waistline with a ruler, then cut.
- I used my favorite crop top shirt from a striped t-shirt no sew tutorial. I copied the shirt to give a nice fitted top bodice for this dress.
- Fold the t-shirt in half, and then trace the shoulder seam and armhole. Square off at the beginning of the side seam, because this is where the skirt will be attached.
- For the bust measurement, I used 8” and then made the waistline length 10” to give enough blouson effect. Mark with chalk and connect the line to the side seam with a ruler. Add ¼” seam allowance around the side seams and armhole. Then, cut along the line.
- For the short sleeves, use the discarded sleeve pieces. Measure 7” from the sleeve opening and mark with chalk. Measure 5” along with the sleeve opening and mark again.
- Lay the top bodice over the sleeves, and trace the armhole to make the sleeve pattern. Give a nice curve line under the sleeve. Add ¼” seam allowance around the sleeve, and then cut.
- Trace the sleeve to copy for the other side.
- For the skirt bottom, fold the bottom piece in half and lay flat. I copied a knit pencil skirt to complete the skintight bottom silhouette for this t-shirt dress.
- Fold the skirt in half and lay flat along with the bottom piece. Trace the waist, hips, and hemline of the skirt. Add ¼” seam allowance and cut.
- To attach both sleeves, flip the top bodice inside out and lay the sleeve along the armhole. Attach the top and sleeve together with ¼” topstitch, and then zigzag stitch to finish.
- For the side seam and under sleeve, use ¼” topstitch and finish with a zigzag stitch.
- For a balloon silhouette waistline, I used a piece of elastic that was 24” long and ¼” wide. Overlap the elastic about ¼”, and then double topstitch.
Helpful hint: Check the elastic by stretching to make sure it doesn’t pop.
- Slide the elastic loop over the t-shirt hemline, and pin on both side seams. Sew in the middle of the elastic band.
Sewing tip: Stretch the elastic as you sew all the way around.
- To sew the skirt, flip the skirt pattern inside out with the right sides of the front and back pieces facing each other. Join the side seam with ¼” topstitch, and then zigzag stitch to finish.
- To attach the skirt to the top bodice, slide the skirt piece over the top piece and pin. Sew ¼” topstitch around the waistline to join the skirt and the top.
For this short sleeve dress, its important to create a nice balance between the blouson top bodice and the skin tight skirt bottom. An oversized tee works best to help with the ballon silhouette.

The haemorrhaging of jobs in the clothing and textiles industry as a result of a glut of cheap Chinese imports had been staunched, and South Africa was looking to exports to regain lost ground, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies told an imbizo at the Cape Town International Convention Centre last week.
South Africa was “marching on to the global stage”, Davies told the meeting, which was organised by
the SA Clothing and Textile Workers’ Union as part of the fourth African Textile, Apparel & Footwear Trade Event.
The sector went from employing just more than 250 000 people in 2001 to losing more than 100 000 jobs, until it stabilised at about 150 000 jobs in 2012.
The cuts devastated entire working class suburbs in Cape Town and Durban as families employed in the industry for decades were suddenly left without an income.
Davies said the focus on exports would not have been remotely on the cards a decade ago, but the department of trade and industry’s Clothing and Textiles Competitiveness Improvement Programme, which was introduced in 2009, brought stability to the sector, which contributes 4.36% of gross domestic product.
As of December, this policy action had seen R3.13 billion invested in the industry, contributing to 7 000 “decent” jobs, securing 67 000 jobs and putting the sector in a position to grow through exports.
Part of the solution involved clustering in the sector, such as a national leather and footwear cluster, which was succeeding in exporting workwear to other African countries, and the exotic-leather cluster, which was having success in the luxury goods niche in Middle Eastern markets.
Technical textiles were another cluster seeing export success, Davies said, with a former camping company contracted to construct double-storey, hotel-sized tented facilities in Dubai.
Iran was another opportunity that could “come alive” following the relaxation of sanctions, and preferred trade agreements with parts of Asia and Latin America were in place.
Despite these opportunities, and despite the US recently extending the African Growth and Opportunity Act to 2025, which saw $2 billion (R30 billion at the current exchange rate) worth of duty-free apparel exports from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) to the US last year, the largest growth potential was exporting within the continent.
Only 12% to 14% of South Africa’s total exports were inter-regional, said Davies, whereas in Europe, 75% of trade was within the EU.
Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel said although the US was the biggest market, everyone else was also focused on them, including massive Asian players.
“Africa is the growth story,” said Patel, as the continent would house the world’s largest workforce by 2024, is undergoing rapid urbanisation, is seeing a “massive” rise in the middle class, and has $80 billion being invested in road and rail infrastructure.
Noting current infrastructure and customs challenges, Patel said SADC trade agreements were in place.
“The SADC has the vision document and should move to an action plan and then adoption at the summit [in August] this year.”
However, he warned that concessions would be needed.
“We can’t have the entire regional export market. Other countries will also be looking to export to us.”
He said South Africa had received exchange offers from east African countries and “a lot of work” had been done on developing a continental fair trade agreement.
However, Patel’s enthusiasm for continental trade was a three-year-old echo of sentiments expressed at the first African Textile, Apparel & Footwear Trade Event, which took place in 2013 and where trade within the continent was billed as the next big thing.
Asked whether any progress had been made on reducing debilitating customs barriers and facilitating agreements between regional blocks over the past three years, Shakeel Meer, the Industrial Development Corporation’s divisional executive of corporate strategy, admitted there had been little real change.
Meer said high-level agreements existed between the regional trading blocs on the continent, as well as within the African Union, but implementation remained a challenge.
“The challenge lies in the different sensitivities between countries,” he said, “restricting the imports, or concern about our exports to them. We need to cross borders.” – West Cape News

Not so long ago, opening a fine-dining restaurant for three days a week and making the menu 50 per cent vegan would have been a recipe for disaster. Yet Urbane, in inner-Brisbane’s Mary Street, seems to be going gangbusters.
With vegan chef and co-owner Alejandro Cancino at the helm, there’s a dedication and focus to taking plant-based cookery to the next level, although omnivores are far from on the back burner. Options are simply a five or seven-course omnivore or vegan tasting menu.
Diners strapping in for the ride can expect an array of sensory challenging amuse bouche and sourdough, followed by the likes of tortellini in an intensely flavoured porcini consomme, the only difference between the vegan and omnivore dish being that smoked sesame cheese replaces ricotta in the filling of the silky pasta parcels.

As you expand in your Self Expression on the Soul Path you encounter more messages that seem to come from outside of you. These messages or confirmations come because at a deep level you have asked for assistance, guidance and an affirming of your Inner Connection. These messages, affirmations and confirmations come from the Loving – Guiding Principle of the Universe and the Undifferentiated Aspect That is You from and as the Universe. It is the All That Is “You” lovingly guiding you…
I call this part of the journey the “Magical Mystery Tour”… Life becomes much more magical, mystical and in a way surreal. Synchronicities are at play, and you feel more alive and part of the “Big Picture” and All That Is of the Universe.
You begin to not only see but feel the interconnectedness of everything and everyone. This connects most intimately with the All That Is; or God… You feel the interconnection and begin to connect the energetic dots of the Resonant Fields; which to me are God.
We are each threads in this tapestry of life. We are the woof and warf of the weave. In many ways we are the weave and the weaver; as well as the very fabric. This fabric, or fabric of our being is Love.
What cannot in the New Paradigm and within the New Emerging Consciousness be leftout is the fuller expression, experience of love and a deeper understanding of the forms of love.
We begin to see now as Soul Beings to understand the love that is beyond form, but the formlessness of the very energy we are as Spirit in material form. We begin to understand that Consciousness is Love, and that the more consciousness the more love experienced and expressed.
Our forms, our products, or replication of ourselves whether through prodigeny, children, businesss, systems, paintings, poems, inventions; or whatever is birthed through us are varying degrees and forms of love. Anything and everything that comes through us, from us is an inner urge, a cry; and/or an expression; as well as experience of interconnection.
This interconnection is experienced and expressed in an innate need and willingness to connect and share; and not only give something from this exchange but to receive something.
This connect – share can be seen in personal relationships as well as business. One cannot be excluded from the other in this Earth Play of Consciousness.
The more we move into the realm of understanding of what we need as Consciousness Beings – beings that are consciousness made manifest, the more we realize that it’s not the “things” of our life that sustain us, but the love of, and as our life that sustains and fuels us.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Olympic superstar Michael Phelps could face criminal charges as part of the fallout from a photo that surfaced showing the swimmer smoking from a marijuana pipe at a University of South Carolina house party.
Lt. Chris Cowan, a spokesman for Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who is known for his tough stance on drugs, said Tuesday the department was investigating.
The photo first shown in British tabloid News of the World on Sunday was snapped during a November party while Phelps was visiting the university, according to the paper.
Phelps, 23, and his team have not disputed the photo's accuracy. Phelps has issued a public apology, acknowledging "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after the photo appeared.
One of Phelps' agents, Drew Johnson, said Tuesday authorities had not contacted the swimmer. "So we really can't speculate," he said.
The Richland County sheriff can pursue charges as long as the party was in the county, the spokesman said.
"The bottom line is, if he broke the law, and he did it in Richland County, he's going to be charged," Cowan said. "And there's no difference between Michael Phelps and several other people that we arrest for the same type of a charge every day."
Under South Carolina law, possession of one ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor that carries a fine up to $200 and 30 days in jail for the first offense. Possession of paraphernalia is a $500 fine.

Niger State was created on 3rd February, 1976 from the defunct North-Western State during the regime of General Murtala Ramat
Mohammed; however, the State actually began functioning on April 1st of that year. There were originally Nine Local Government areas (LGAs), namely: Chanchaga, Rafi, Bangi, Gbako, Etswan, Suleja, Mariga, Magama and Lavun. Agaie and Lapai LGAs were later created out of Etswan Local Government Area. Between 1979 and 1983 when Malam Muhammadu Awwal Ibrahim was Executive Governor of the State, eighteen LGAs were managed by the administration, namely Kuta, Paikoro, Chanchaga, Rafi, Gbako, Katcha, Lemu, Lapai, Agaie, Suleja, Mariga, Bangi, Magama, Auna, Lavun, Mokwa, and Jima-Doko. But when the military came into power in 1984, it returned to the original L.G.A structure. Chanchaga was however divided into two:-Minna Municipal Council, with headquarters at Minna and Shiroro LGA with headquarters at Kuta.
The LGAs in Niger State became Nineteen (19) in 1991 when President Ibrahim Babangida created Nine (9) States and additional LGAs in Nigeria. However, by 1996 when late General Sani Abacha created six (6) additional States and 182 LGAs, in the entire country, Niger State got additional six (6) LGAs, namely, Katcha, Munya, Mashegu, Edati, Tafa and Mariga, bringing the total to 25 LGAs.
The State lies on latitude 80o to 11o:30’ North and Longitude 03o 30’ to 07o 40’ East. The State is bordered to the North by Zamfara State, West by Kebbi State, South by Kogi State, South West by Kwara State, North-East by Kaduna State and South East by FCT. The State also has an International Boundary with the Republic of Benin along Agwara and Borgu LGAs to the North West.
Land Mass & Features
As at 26th August 1991 (before the merger of Borgu and Agwara LGAs), the State covered a land area of 74,244 square Kilometres, which is about 8% of the total land area of Nigeria. With the merger, the land mass is now 76, 469.903 Square Kilometers (about 10% of the total land area of Nigeria) out of which about 85% is arable.
The soil types in Niger State are two: Ku soil and Ya soil. The Ku soil has little erosion hazards, while the Ya soil has better water holding capacity.
Geography & Climate
Niger State experiences distinct dry and wet seasons with annual rain fall varying from 1,100mm in the northern parts to 1,600mm in the southern parts. The maximum temperature (usually not more than 94oc) is recorded between March and June, while the minimum is usually between December and January. The rainy seasons last for about 150 days in the northern parts to about 120 days in the southern parts of the State. Generally, the fertile soil and hydrology of the State permits the cultivation of most of Nigeria’s staple crops and still allows sufficient opportunities for grazing, fresh water fishing and forestry development.

Life after Rome is, to say the least, barbaric, especially for those Romano-Celts still trying to make a go of it in fifth-century Albion.
Llywelyn focuses on two cousins, Dinas and Cadogan, who develop different survival strategies in the arduous time after the fall of the Roman Empire. Dinas is a schemer with dreams of political power who, it seems, will always land on his feet, while Cadogan is more of a drifter and dreamer who eventually begins to stake out a new community to escape the chaos swirling about. Dinas is also something of a ladies’ man, quick to drop women when they no longer suit him. One woman whom for obvious reasons Dinas quickly tires of (she affects an aristocratic demeanor even though she’s common-born—and she’s something of a shrew) is Quartilla, so he “gives” her to Cadogan, who doesn’t quite know what to do with her. Much more important to Dinas—and to the dismay and contempt of Quartilla—is his stallion, largely wild and untamed except to Meradoc, a Celtic horse-whisperer. Cadogan wends his way through the bleak landscape of abandoned cities and back home to Cymru (Wales) to see his irascible father, Vintrex, but the Saxons arrive and put it to the torch. The stories of the two cousins tend to run parallel rather than to intersect each other, so the novel feels as though it doesn't have a center.
Llywelyn spins a tale that is interesting rather than riveting, though it is full of the rich “stuff” of this historical period.

Whole Foods Market plans to open the doors of its first store in Denton County on Sept. 10.
The 38,000-square-foot store in The Shops at Highland Village, visible at the corner of FM 407 and FM 2499, is scheduled to host a bread-breaking ceremony at 7:30 a.m. as all their stores do in-lieu of a ribbon-cutting. Doors open at 8 a.m.
The Austin-based company invited the public to attend the event and will provide free coffee and pastries for the early birds. In the opening week and beyond, Whole Foods plans to provide numerous tastings, entertainment, and opportunities to meet vendors.

Battery warning light stays on all the time.
After starting the voltage moves to 14.2 V (at battery).
The Service Manual, p 25-28, suggests that the alternator is defective
and says that it should be checked. But I consider the probability very
low that the alternator fails at the same time work is done on the
starter - I believe it is more likely that I inadvertently caused some
damage (maybe just a disconnection) to the wiring.
1984 Accord, 4 Door
The voltage at a fully charged battery is about 12.6 volts.
With the engine running, and the alternator working, the voltage will
be about 14.2 volts. If you have 14.2 volts, the alternator and
voltage regulator are working properly.
Check the wiring.
Thank you; I agree with your diagnosis.
The question now is, which one of the wires (or connectors)
in the general area of the starter, if damaged, causes the battery
light to stay on.
Charlie S wrote:
If you try this the light should go out:

A broken connection between the charger and battery might light up
the light but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thank you, but this test assumes the wiring to be correct; read on.
This problem was the result of really lousy work. When I reconnected
the disconnected wires I had forgotten how they had been connected and
I connected them by their length and ease of reconnecting them. My
first choice of wires to the air temp switch would have been correct
but they were a little short. I ended up connecting the wires of the

color codings didn't match, but I thought it is odd and I was
suspicious that two pairs of wires originating at the same place (near
the starter) of a harness are connected - this didn't make sense! And
again later when I looked for the cause of the ON battery light I was
suspicious about these two pairs of wires but did not act. I had a very

[QUOTE=t-maxed]Thought id let you all know what ive done to mine so far. Start at front and work my way back.
Front wheel spacers are now alloy and correct size to eliminate the sloppy play, helps to calm down the headshake.
5000 wt oil smeared on piston and fork tubes for some damping of sorts. also tighten everything up as were quite loose. Also cut 5mm off each plastic spacer to give a little more travel.
Shimmed up the headstock so there is no up or down play, this also helps with headshake.
Silicon tubing over the crashback spring and tighten bolts a little more on upper frame.
NF steering springs cut down so they are 5mm longer than the std items as i think they are too soft to give a decent response time. Still holds down well in the corners without pushing the front though.
replaced the steering rod end and ball as it was quite sloppy.
Trimmed out the battery tray to allow easier routing of lipo cables.
Rear shock is on the lower holes, with an extra 1mm hole using 3000wt oil, feels really smooth and the rear end now doesnt skip over bumps, just floats really nice.
Layshaft spacers made up to the correct size out of alloy to stop side to side play, and gear mesh set correctly.
New bush for lower shock end to eliminate slop and free play.
All weights remove from giro, still very stable but get more steering response.
Rear wheel shimmed correctly in the gyro
Most screws replced for allen screws.
Oh yeah, and a steering damper too. All these mods have made it an excellent off road bike. I can drive it really hard on gravel, grass and loose/rutted soil no problem at all.
Heres a couple of pics
what size are the spacers in the steering pivot that you used and were did you put them in the gyro
Fitted new alloy swinging arm, looks nice and no flex, with that gyro spinning that fast it twists the plastic one and best of all it looks so cool, anyone fitting the alloy front forks make sure you thread lock the top caps as lost one of mine, but cheap as chips from Steve got to say spares back up is fantastic, bought a new rear tire as the old one is showing some stress good luck tomorrow men hope the weather holds.

Citizen scientists can now use a downloadable app to share photos of this year’s first king tide event, which begins Monday and ends April 30, with the North Carolina King Tides Project.
The North Carolina King Tides Project, an initiative to document extreme high tide events with photos, now uses the Coastal Observer app to report water levels and submit photos of king tides and other interesting events at water level, the organization announced on Friday. After downloading the app, attendees should be able to register, answer a few questions, take or select a saved photo, and click save.
According to the King Tides Project, king tides are the highest and lowest high and low tides of the year, and are regular and predictable events. High tides are also expected to occur May 26-30, June 22-26, July 21-25, October 6-12, November 3-9, and December 2-7.
The photos submitted help visualize what “normal” high tides might look like in the future due to rising sea levels, according to the project. Using these images, it is possible to create a record of the current appearance of the coastline and track future changes.
“By visualizing these high tides, we can begin to understand how rising sea levels will impact local resources and community investments,” organizers said.
While the King Tides Project focuses on water levels, citizen scientists can submit additional information that this app collects. All submitted photos can be viewed on the Coastal Observer website.


To optimize maintenance and parts management processes, airlines and other capital equipment operators often customize maintenance manuals and parts catalogs. Engineers create Customer Originated Changes (COCs) to insert best-practices, alternate part numbers and modified maintenance plans into maintenance schedules.
At the same time, manufacturers (OEMs) are revising these maintenance manuals and parts catalogs on a quarterly or bi-annual basis—not to mention interim service bulletins. OEM revisions include updated procedures, revised tasks, new parts/assemblies, modifications and deletions of previous information, as well as new regulatory mandates.
Enigma InService Revision Manager simplifies the process of reviewing and integrating OEM updates, turning a labor-intensive task measured in weeks or months into an automated procedure often completed in hours or days. With support for XML/SGML (including built-in support for industry standard schemas), PDF and graphics/binary files, Revision Manager frees maintenance engineers from tedious document comparisons, allowing them to spend more time on value-add activities like assessing the impact of OEM changes and making necessary engineering decisions. With automated OEM revision handling, job cards, parts catalogs and maintenance manuals are always up-to-date, which accelerates service planning and turnaround time, and improves uptime, regulatory compliance and safety.
Enigma InService Revision Manager streamlines the process of reconciling updated service and parts information with existing maintenance practices and planning systems. Equipment owners/operators use Revision Manager to automatically identify the impact of OEM revisions and service bulletins, while retaining established best-practices. Revision Manager ensures faster, more controlled adoption of the latest parts and service procedures.

In the 16th century, European artists traveled to Latin America to meet the huge demand for artistic creations in newly established religious institutions. Sometimes, family workshops were founded that lasted generations. By the 17th century, artists born in Latin America began to dominate, and new styles and idioms emerged that had less and less to do with European origins. The 18th century saw the full flowering of Spanish colonial art, as regional schools and academies developed and influential patrons demanded both religious and secular paintings of the highest quality.

The Benefits of Corded Phones
A corded phone is a phone that has a handset connected to the phone’s base station by a cord. The cord stays out of your way while the phone is on the base, though once you pick up the phone, the cord easily extends. If you run any kind of small business, or especially an office, a corded phone is preferential because of the ease and convenience of use.
If you have a corded phone, you will never have to worry about where the phone may be when you have to make a call. Unlike cordless phones which are prone to getting lost, especially in an office environment, the cord on the phone will guarantee that the phone will not be going anywhere. Corded phones are convenient in almost all working environments, as the individuals that use the phone will most likely be nearby the phone anyway and not have to roam far away from the phone's base. It is even useful to have at least one corded phone in your home, as this will supply you with a phone that is always readily available.
An additional benefit to corded phones over cordless phones is that they will always have power, even in a power outage. Corded phones are powered by a small amount of electricity that is supplied through the phone line and not by the building's regular power supply, making it one of the few things that you can always rely on in a power outage. Cordless phones run off of rechargeable battery power, and if your phone is not put in the base station for a period of time, the battery will die and you will be left to wait until the phone recharges to be able to make a call. The life of cordless phone batteries will also reduce as time goes on, especially if it is constantly left being charged in the base station, so the phone's usefulness will actually degrade over time. This will never be a concern with corded phones, as they are constantly supplied a small amount of electricity.
There is a great variety of high-tech corded phones available right now, and they are available for far more affordable prices than cordless phones that supply the same features. On TWAcomm.com, you will find many different types of corded phones, all with unique features to fit your needs. Many corded phones, such as the ClearSounds Ultra Clear Amplifying Speakerphone, allow you to amplify the volume of calls while increasing the sound clarity, making it perfect for a loud environment or for those that are hard of hearing.
While it is true that cordless phones can be found anywhere, there are very good reasons for why corded phones are still prevalently used. Just as cordless phones are useful for certain situations, there are many situations where a corded phone should be your phone of choice.View Article Index

Pure Chocolate and Almond flavors enhance classic mole sauce for simple yet reflective Mexican holiday meals
Food will no doubt be a focal point for families celebrating the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead this November 1 and 2. What has become one of the most popular holidays in Mexico–and is becoming more common in the U.S.– is the custom of honoring and remembering deceased loved ones. Gathering with friends and family over delicious traditional dishes is sure to be a highlight of celebrations.
Mole sauce is one tradition in Mexican cuisine incorporated into many dishes, with each family and cook creating their own unique recipes. For a fresh twist on a classic mole, Fiesta Mole Sauce for Chicken Bake calls for a sauce infused with Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate and Pure Almond Extracts, which add a distinct depth and dimension to the sauce. The Pure Chocolate Extract brings the uninhibited depth of dark chocolate and complements the Pure Almond Extract, which is made from the purest of bitter almond to round out the sauce with richness and subtle distinction.
Using the mole sauce in dishes is as simple as topping grilled or baked chicken or turkey with the mole, or it can be used in the Fiesta Chicken Bake recipe.
“The beauty of our pure flavors is that they put an entirely new spin on an old favorite in just a few drops,” said Craig Nielsen, CEO, Nielsen-Massey Vanilla, Inc. “Mole sauce is extraordinary in that it can be made so many different ways–each recipe with its own story. Our chocolate and almond flavors bring a complexity to the sauce, helping it to stand out on an important occasion.”
Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate and Pure Almond Extracts are two of many pure flavors in the company’s high quality line of products. Not only are they made from superior ingredients but they also offer convenience, quality and consistency for home cooks and bakers. A small amount of pure flavor extract adds a boost to a dish without having to take the time to chop, zest or juice–let alone find the more exotic ingredients.
Fiesta Mole Sauce for Chicken Bake
Fiesta Mole Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 poblano chile, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Almond Extract
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
scant 1/4 teaspoon cloves
2 tablespoons raisins
1 cup crushed tomatoes
Heat the oil in a medium-sized frying pan and add the chile, garlic and onion. Saute until the mixture is fragrant and the onion is translucent. Cool slightly and add to a blender. Blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally 30 minutes.
Use the mixture to top grilled or baked chicken or turkey. Or, use in this casserole:
Fiesta Chicken Bake
3 corn tortillas, torn into pieces
2 chicken breasts, sliced into 3/4 inch slices
1 recipe Fiesta Sauce (above)
1/2 cup Monterey Jack or Chihuahua cheese, shredded
In a casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, layer the tortillas and chicken breast slices. Top with the sauce, cover and bake until the chicken is done, about 45 minutes. Remove cover, and sprinkle with the cheese. Continue to bake until the cheese is melted, about another 15 minutes.
