“Generator Inspection Outages—Contingency Planning,” Jamie Clark, AGT Services.
Jamie Clark’s message was simple: Increased cycling of ageing gas-turbine (GT) assets, both simple cycle and combined cycle, is causing problems for owner/operators. The proof: Service providers say as much as 60% of their shop effort during outages now is emergent work (Fig 1). “We’re running older units harder than ever,” he continued, “harder than they were ever designed to run.”
The speaker recommended that attendees follow the latest guidelines regarding periodic inspections. These have changed recently, he said. One example: The most recent OEM guidance has no reference to field removal unless prior robotic inspections dictates via findings, or operational events—such as motoring, sync out of phase, generator trips, etc—warrant.
He also suggested users do the following before the outage:
- Take flux-probe
- Do EMI testing (refer back to the third item in the section above on user presentations).
- Conduct partial-discharge
- Review reports from, and since, the previous outage to review what was not done as
Clark next discussed the pros and cons of robotic inspection. At the top of the “pro” list is that robotic inspection avoids the cost and risk of field removal/reinstall. However, findings might suggest field removal, in which case you pay twice unless it’s possible to postpone work until the next outage.
The speaker called attention to the fact that robotic inspection equipment is a limited resource, especially with competent operators and generator specialists guiding the work. He suggested releasing robotic-inspection RFPs at least six months prior to the outage and ensuring service- provider commitments are in hand within three months of outage start.
Clark then reviewed reasons for pulling the field and explained work that can be done with the field in. The latter seemed particularly helpful to attendees. Here’s what he said regarding the stator: Minor endwinding repairs (tightening, partial-discharge damage, for example) are possible (Fig 2), as is belly-band tightening and possibly even core tightening—provided EL CID validation is possible.
Concerning the field, collector-ring grinding and replacement typically are possible, along with brush-rigging repairs and upgrades. Retaining-ring NDE also can be done, in addition to a few other tasks.
If it becomes necessary to pull the field, Clark reminded, be sure the proper tooling is accessible—including coupling/journal shoes, skid pan, body shoe, slings, turnbuckles, and rigging from stator ends. Don’t overlook the benefits of field extraction platforms—for 7FH2s in particular, and possibly AeroPacs. This is not “incidental equipment, requiring possibly two 53-ft tractor trailers. Cranes are another consideration: A 7FH2 field weighs more than 75,000 lb, a GE 324 field about 50 tons. How close can the crane you need get into your unit? Access is almost always an issue (Fig 3).
Clark continued, “So now your field is out and you’ll be shipping it offsite, what do you need to know?” Come up to speed on permitting procedures and details. Figure it will take a couple of weeks to get a permit and line up trucking for the optimal route. Be aware of the permit time required and on-road time, the speaker said, advising that it’s rarely a good idea for an owner to manage shipping.
Doing field repairs? Figure seven to 10 days minimum, 30 days maximum for these typical repairs:
- Main-lead repair usually requires a No. 1 coil (both poles)—a partial rewind. But keep in mind that if you opt for this plan, the remainder of the field is “old.”
- Crossover repairs may require a full
- Slot armor delamination requires a full
- Turn shorts usually indicate a global condition: Rewind.
An exchange field might be the best course of action if operating commitments are firm. Keep in mind, the speaker said, that while all 7FH2s and 324s are the same mechanically, they can be different electrically—for example, in numbers of coils and turns per coil, etc. A few points to remember: Only accept an exchange with current high-speed balance and at-speed flux probe data, no turn shorts, high-quality vibration data, and assurance of interchangeability.
If field removal is in your plan, think about what stator repairs are prudent. Clark concludes his presentation with recommendations for rewedging, repairs to endwindings and connection rings, and a complete stator rewind. The last typically takes between 20 and 35 days, but may go to 12 weeks if bars must be replaced and they’re not available off the shelf.
“Rotor Turn Insulation Failure,” Tyler Foutz, EthosEnergy Group.
Tyler Foutz’ short presentation concerned a rotor with 22k hours of run time that was exhibiting intermittent vibrations and flux-probe data discrepancies. Turn shorts were suspected and confirmed. The retaining rings were removed and endwindings inspected (Fig 4). Decision was to rewind. A root-cause analysis confirmed insulation failure and side-wall interference.
Repair quality was confirmed by high-speed balance/flux probe.
“What You Need to Know About the New IEEE Standard to Extend the Life of Your Existing Electrical Bus System,” Steve Powell, EBI-Electrical Builders.
Steve Powell, known to users for his insightful presentations at annual meetings, reviewed the design, construction, testing, and performance of bus systems, as established by IEEE C37.23- 2015 for metal-enclosed gear. He covered voltage ratings, rated insulation levels, continuous current, rated short-circuit and momentary withstand current, short-time withstand current, and temperature limits.
Powell reminded users that isolated-phase bus systems have no backup and if a failure occurs, the plant will be offline until the bus is repaired (Fig 5). He urged attendees to follow the OEM’s recommended service schedule (annually during a normal shutdown or every 18 months) and to confirm what you think you see (or don’t) with EMI testing and thermal imaging. He also discussed the value of periodic offline inspection and cleaning.
“Modification of a Westinghouse Stator from Diamond Coil to Bar Design,” Andrew Adam, PE, EthosEnergy Group, and Caleb Munholand, The High-Voltage Coil Manufacturing Co.
The RFQ for a generator stator rewind stated there would be no changes allowed to the nominal 54-MVA (13.8 kV) three-decades-old design except for insulation class (B to F). This stator was one of the largest diamond coils ever manufactured and the OEM and only one vendor still made the component. EEG, currently the OEM for legacy Westinghouse gas turbines and generators with access to original design prints and parameters, was the successful bidder.
EthosEnergy faced manufacturing challenges, as described in the well-illustrated presentation, motivating conversion to a Roebel bar configuration; design and manufacturing details are summarized in the slides. Because overall performance and output of the generator is largely dictated by the field, the speakers said, overall generator capability remained essentially unchanged. The new winding has the same number of turns as the original, resides in the same core iron, has the same amount of copper (or more), and has equivalent losses.
The stated advantages associated with specifying the three-turn Roebel bar design over the three-turn diamond coil are these:
- Elimination of top-strand heating. Temperatures within the winding are evenly distributed because of
- Elimination of installation issues associated with the diamond-coil design mitigates significant user schedule and performance
“Fiber Optic Generator Monitoring,” Derek Hooper and George P Dailey, PE, BPhase Inc.
Better techniques and instrumentation for monitoring the performance powerplant equipment are always welcome. The presenters focus on the use of fiber optics for reducing the risk of generator in-service issues caused by high core temperatures and loose wedges. The presentation includes many slides on development history for those interested in how the technology has evolved.
The stated value of the BPhase developments is the following:
- The core monitoring system can detect any excursion from normal core operating conditions. The data allows plant personnel to see a core thermal event in progress, enabling a controlled shutdown before serious damage
- The wedge tightness analysis system allows maintenance personnel to follow the degradation of the wedge package over time, enabling the planning of rewedging without need for disassembly or robotic inspection. This can predict coil wear through mechanical vibration and core damage through slot pounding—as the condition will be detected before significant damage can
While acknowledging that fiber-based systems cannot perform visual inspections, the presenters say they can certainly reduce operational risk from wedge tightness and core-related issues, thereby reducing overall risk during extended operation as necessary.
“Generator Degassing and Purging: Best Practices for Safe Plant Operation,” Christopher Breslin, Environment One Corp.
Hydrogen is explosive, colorless, and odorless, as well as difficult to contain. Yet it has been used widely as a generator coolant since the late 1930s because its windage/frictional losses are less than for air and it has excellent heat-transfer characteristics.
It is essential for plant personnel to know and understand the hazards associated with hydrogen and that all equipment for handling and storing this gas must be certified and maintained in top condition (Fig 6). Finally, because purging is an inherently complicated exercise, and can be dangerous if performed improperly, all personnel involved must be well trained, non-sparking tools must be used, carbon dioxide must be readily available in sufficient quantity, appropriate safety signage must be in evidence in critical areas, and keyed lockouts must be provided for “air” and “hydrogen.”
Chris Breslin, known by users for his practical and valuable presentations, reviews primary elements of the hydrogen auxiliary system, including useful one-line diagrams, provides guidelines for the purging process and best practices for safe plant operation, and reviews requirements/considerations for automated de-gassing. Consider the presentation for a lunch- and-learn session in the plant conference room.
“Comparison of Low- and High-Frequency Partial-Discharge Measurements on Rotating- Machine Stator Windings,” G C Stone and H G Sedding, Iris Power (Canada).
The speakers are among the industry’s top experts in the partial-discharge (PD) testing of electrical equipment. They draw the following conclusions in their relatively short but informative presentation: Low- and very-high-frequency PD detection methods in machines each have very different advantages. For offline applications, it is clear that low-frequency testing is preferred because PD can be better detected regardless of where it occurs in the winding.
For online testing, of transformers for example, the very-high and ultra-high methods are preferred by users because the risk of false indications caused by noise is lower; therefore, test credibility is higher.
To dig deeper on the subject, read “PD Monitoring Helps Guide Stator-Winding Maintenance,” by G C Stone, Iris Power (Canada), published in CCJ No. 61 (2019), p 100. You can access it by using the search function on the CCJ home page at www.ccj-online.com.
“Realities of Global Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (GVPI) Impregnated Generator Stator Repair and Rewind,” W Howard Moudy, NEC-National Electric Coil.
Howard Moudy may have made more presentations at user-group meetings in the last decade than anyone else—in the process covering all types of generator failures and their fixes. At the 2019 GUG conference his topic was the repair and rewinding of a GVPI stator for a 13-yr-old, 100-MVA, air-cooled generator serving a geothermal plant in Indonesia. The unit tripped with damage to the winding and core (Fig 7). Contributors to the failure as determined by a root- cause-analysis investigation included the following:
- Endwinding vibration/resonance.
- Core looseness/hot spots.
- Key-bar deterioration at the core exit—ground-wall fretting and thermal deterioration, and strand
- Vibration transmitted from the phase-ring
The owner expressed preference for mechanical removal of the winding despite NEC’s deep experience with the generally preferred water-blasting process. The contract was awarded to a local company with NEC in an oversight role. The local firm was able to complete the job with NEC’s help and tooling. However, other findings created uncertainties in the customer’s mind that led to replacing the entire core. A couple of dozen photos describe the work.
NEC came away from the project with the confidence in its ability to rapidly rewind/rebuild air-cooled GVPI stators anywhere in the world. In this case the time to manufacture a new stator winding and ship it to Indonesia was 38 days.
In his concluding remarks, Moudy acknowledged that the initial cost of GVPI generators is attractive but that there are maintenance concerns and limitations associated with a decision to go with GVPI. Finally, he said that with proper engineering and planning, GVPI generators can be rewound effectively to a coil VPI design that is more easily maintained and conducive to long- term reliable operation.

I introduced some new definitions in usbd_conf.h file, because I have to modify the whole project from stereo to 4 channels later.
/* AUDIO Class Config */
#define USBD_AUDIO_FREQ 48000
#define USBD_AUDIO_CHANNELS 2
#define USBD_AUDIO_BYTES 2
In stm32f4discovery_audio.h fileban there is a definition calledAUDIODATA SIZE, which still defines 16 bits, so it should be modified later if I want to go for 24 bits. (Which is unlikely)
I modified usbd_audio.c file in USB device library AUDIO class (Middleware…)
#define AUDIO_SAMPLE_FREQ(frq) (uint8_t)(frq), (uint8_t)((frq >> 8)), (uint8_t)((frq >> 16))
#define AUDIO_PACKET_SZE(frq,chs,bytes) (uint8_t)(((frq * chs * bytes)/1000) & 0xFF), \
(uint8_t)((((frq * chs * bytes)/1000) >> 8) & 0xFF)
And I am using these definitions in the descriptors
/* USB Speaker Audio Type III Format Interface Descriptor */
0x0B, /* bLength */
AUDIO_INTERFACE_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE, /* bDescriptorType */
AUDIO_STREAMING_FORMAT_TYPE, /* bDescriptorSubtype */
AUDIO_FORMAT_TYPE_III, /* bFormatType */ ///This could be AUDIO_FORMAT_TYPE_I also
USBD_AUDIO_CHANNELS, /* bNrChannels */
USBD_AUDIO_BYTES, /* bSubFrameSize : 2 Bytes per frame (16bits) */
USBD_AUDIO_BYTES*8, /* bBitResolution (16-bits per sample) */
0x01, /* bSamFreqType only one frequency supported */
AUDIO_SAMPLE_FREQ(USBD_AUDIO_FREQ), /* Audio sampling frequency coded on 3 bytes */
/* 11 byte*/
Calculating packet size in usbd_audio.h file:
#define AUDIO_OUT_PACKET (uint32_t)(((USBD_AUDIO_FREQ * USBD_AUDIO_BYTES * USBD_AUDIO_CHANNELS) /1000))
In usbd_audio.h, we can set up the number of buffered packets, which means the latency. It is 80 packets by default, which means 40ms latency I think. I modified it to be 16 packets = 8ms.
I modified the function which passed 2 times the necessary size for DMA.
I am going to use the audio data buffer as a double buffer.
In USBD_AUDIO_DataOut function, I am waiting for the USB to fill one half of the buffer.
After it filled the first half, I am going to send this part toh the I2S DMA, and the USB will write the second part during DMA transfer. And do the same when USB filled the second half, I’ll send it to the I2S and start the whole cycle.
We need to synch because if USB is faster, it can overwrite the DMA part, and if DMA is faster, it can run out o useful data. USB_Audio_Sync is invoket from DMA Transfer complete interrupt.
If USB write and DMA read pointers are closer than 2 audio data packets, the next DMA transfer will be 1 packet less or 1 packet longer. Depending on which process was faster.
I configured some LED feedback to see if we have some buffer overrun or underrun for DMA or USB, but after 25 minutes of playing, it worked correctly. However without this synchronization, the LED had toggled, so it proved me that this synch is required and works good enough for this phase of my project.
Later I might study the possibility of implementing a synch endpoint, that is mentioned in the standard and in some articles if found on the web.
The current state:
I have a working stereo soundcard, and I mostly understand what it does, because I rewrote it 🙂

William Intriligator currently serves as Music Director and Conductor of the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra and the Cheyenne Symphony Orchestra in Wyoming. He is an experienced orchestra leader whose musicianship, leadership, personality, and passion have enabled both organizations to reach new audiences, attain new artistic heights, diversify programming, and achieve unprecedented success.
Intriligator’s 2023-2024 concert season at both orchestras includes carefully curated subscription programs that blend traditional concert favorites with works by women and other under-represented composers. During his tenure with the both orchestras, Intriligator has also presented many special programs and productions including staged operas and musicals, staged ballet productions, film with live orchestra, and performances with regional bands
Other Special projects from past seasons with the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra include composer festivals (Mozart, Shostakovich, Beethoven), a multi-cultural festival, “Voices” concerts in the Millwork District in partnership with artists, performing as oboe soloist with the orchestra, concerts with world-renowned violinist Midori as part of the Midori Residency Program, and accompanying musical prodigy Ethan Bortnick in a concert that became a popular PBS television special, “The Power of Music.”
Intriligator feels very strongly that one of the roles of a regional orchestra is to promote local and regional composers and performers. His orchestras have commissioned and premiered over 30 new works by such composers, as well as featured many local and regional performers as soloists.
As a guest conductor, Intriligator has led performances with many distinguished orchestras across the country, including those of Honolulu, Houston, Minnesota, Richmond, Saint Paul, Savannah, Syracuse, and Tulsa. In 2017, he made his European conducting debut in Italy with the Bari Symphony Orchestra. After the success of that concert, the orchestra immediately invited him to return to Bari and conduct two more concerts.
Also an eager opera conductor, he has led productions of works by Mozart, Verdi, Bizet, and Puccini, and he was previously Assistant Conductor of the Minnesota Opera.
Intriligator previously served as Staff Conductor at the Minnesota Orchestra and Assistant Conductor of the Southwest German Radio Orchestra. He was a regular guest conductor of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for five seasons while living in the Twin Cities, conducting the SPCO in educational concerts, family concerts, regional tours, and concerts of new music.
Originally from Santa Monica, California, Intriligator earned many accolades as an oboist before turning to conducting. He graduated with highest honors in music from Princeton University. He then studied conducting in France with Charles Bruck and in Germany and Austria with Michael Gielen. He earned his masters and doctoral degrees in orchestral conducting at the University of Minnesota. Intriligator was a conducting fellow at the Aspen Music Festival for two summers and attended the Pierre Monteux School for four summers. He was also a protégée of Christian Thielemann in Germany, Italy, and the U.S.
In 2013, Intriligator won the Dubuque County Fine Arts Society's Elisha Darlin Award in recognition of his impact on the cultural landscape of Dubuque and the Tri-State region. In 2014, Intriligator and the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra received the Dubuque365 Impact Award in Music, recognizing the many ways he and the orchestra reach out to the community.

Now it’s official, what does Brexit mean for UK house prices?
March 29, 2017Article by Paul Avery
Accession to the EU used to be one of the clearest signals for property investors to BUY, BUY, BUY! New and aspiring member states have served up successive frenzies of speculation, moneymaking, and frustration over the years.
But now we face the flipside of this challenge: how should property investors respond to the UK’s formal intention to leave the EU?
It would be wrong to reverse engineer the problem and expect leaving to cause a market contraction simply because joining coincided with so many property booms (see: Ireland, Poland, Bulgaria, etc.). Accession to the EU did not magically create those booms from nothing; the economic and social trajectory of those countries simultaneously qualified them for accession and primed their property markets to be unlocked (or supercharged) by EU membership.
The reverse does not apply here. The UK has not regressed to the point that it no longer merits membership. Quite the opposite: Britain has one of the strongest economies and most respected civil societies in Europe. It has chosen to leave, an unprecedented move with unpredictable consequences.
In this uncharted context, what can be said about the future of the UK property market?
First thing’s first, today’s activation of Article 50 should have no direct or immediate consequences. Consensus even suggests that this largely symbolic moment had already been priced in to the ever-jittery value of the pound (FT).
As for the longer-term effects on the housing market, there are many complicated and intertwined dynamics at work. Any respectable prediction must contend with future economic growth, inflation, employment (including migrant labour), consumer confidence, interest rates, currency movements, sovereign credit ratings, and a host of other factors. These largely depend on how the negotiations proceed, and today’s cooperative tone from Theresa May was a strong first step.
What we know about the economy since the referendum is also encouraging. GDP increased by 0.7% in Q4 last year, surpassing estimates (ONS), respectable growth of 1.8% is expected in 2016 (ONS), the FTSE is way up (mostly due to the cheap pound), inflation is growing but not as fast as wages (BBC), and consumer confidence has been extremely resilient, though it may be peaking (FT). If this pattern of surpassed expectations holds, the property market could well regain its usual momentum sooner than we think.
(It is especially important to watch interest rates and inflation going forward: when both remain low they encourage home buyers and drive up prices.)
Uncertain about uncertainty?
Periods of uncertainty tend to reduce transaction volumes as people are put off big decisions, like buying a home. The question is whether Article 50 puts an end to the uncertainty unleashed by the referendum or represents a two-year extension of it. Opinions will likely differ on this point.
One certainty is that house prices will continue to obey the laws of supply and demand, and the UK’s widening shortfall can be relied upon to support current valuations at the very least. YOPA’s house price tracker, which aggregates predictions from various industry bodies, gives an average forecast of 1.2% growth in 2017. Nationwide and Rightmove project 2%, RICS says 3%, and only one outlier expects a decline.
According to the Halifax, house price growth accelerated in February and now stands at 5.1% above the same period last year. Though they may no longer be rocketing, we would be shocked to see the market decline anytime soon. House building recently fell to a six-month low because of rising import costs, and could be dampened by labour pressures in future.
As always there will be no blanket effect over the entire country. Looking a little closer, it is reasonable to expect the slowdown in London to persist, pockets of regional prosperity to thrive, and export-heavy manufacturing hubs to falter. In her speech today, the PM indicated that devolved regional powers will be strengthened post-Brexit, which suggests northern secondary cities are sensible targets for investment.
On the subject of regional competition, the effects of Brexit will surely reverberate beyond Britain’s borders. That is both bad and good: the EU will be weakened by the loss of its departing member, but cities across the continent are competing for business relocations and investment. Commercial real estate in Paris and Frankfurt, residential property in Berlin, and a few other pockets deserve the consideration of non-sterling denominated investors.
Yet a recent surge of investment commitments in the UK from China, America, and the Middle East run deeper than the short-term currency play. The fundamentals of the British economy and property market continue to repay long-term confidence. That bears remembering in what are sure to be interesting times ahead.

Reality, Or What Passes For It
As so often in troubled times, my dears, this last little while I've more than once had need of a Garbo Moment. Here we see her displaying a smile that, for me, rivals the one attributed to that Signora Gioconda about whom we hear so much.
Yes, I don't think this is going to resonate as my favorite autumn, not if these past two weeks are any indication. Nothing disastrous - so far - but rather a steady stream of small annoyances, ranging from the ongoing near-collapse of the public transit system in Our Nation's Capital to the parlous state of our body politic to what is, unfortunately, nothing more than the inevitable march of time. And the gray, rainy weather hasn't been helping, at least until today, which emerged rather miraculously as a last outpost of summer. I had a good long walk in the sunshine this afternoon, and I rather think it's done me a lot of good.
The thing that's really on my mind, I suppose, and distinctly weighing me down, is the recent and dismayingly fast onset of old age for our beloved Koko. There is something noble and heartbreaking about any old dog, but when it's one's own, and moreover one who's been with us through so much over the past twelve years, it's really terribly sad. His old hips are giving out, and while anti-inflammatories are helping, his walk is slow and uncertain and his once-frenetic tail is now just a gently waving flag. There's life in the old boy yet - his appetite is still voracious, and his good temper and gentle nature still shine through - but we're starting down the path of harder conversations to come. The vet has a sympathetic mien and has made it clear that she'll be ready for whatever comes. All things beautiful, indeed...
But we soldier on, and I'm resolved to be more philosophical about it all, even the horror show that unfolds nightly on the evening news. This, too, shall pass, and perhaps we'll have a long and blazing autumn of brilliant trees and long, crisp afternoons. One lives in hope; after all, what else have we?

2016 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of ‘The Golden Arrow’, the first novel of one of Shropshire’s greatest writers, Mary Webb. Her life and work are firmly centred in her native county and the Mary Webb Society are celebrating with a programme of events and a special exhibition at Shrewsbury Museum.
‘The Golden Arrow’ is based on an old legend where lovers earn good fortune by finding a mythical arrow on Palm Sunday on Pontesford Hill. Mary’s work is full of folklore and local colour and this exhibition explores how her literature links to the landscape, illustrated with paintings from the museum collections and images from photographer Gordon Dickins.
In Mary’s world Shrewsbury was Silverton, the Stiperstones are the Diafol Mountains, Lord’s Hill is God’s Little Mountain, Long Mynd is Wilderhope. The Society felt it was important to share Mary’s picture of Shropshire and commissioned local artist Katy Alston to produce a map of the Mary Webb Country for the exhibition.
Mary was born in Leighton, lived much of her childhood in Much Wenlock before marrying and moving to Pontesbury and finally building her beloved Spring Cottage on Lyth Hill. She suffered from Graves Disease, a thyroid disorder which caused her ill health and led to her premature death at the age of 46 years. Due to her illness Mary was reluctant to have her photograph taken and in the exhibition there is a rare portrait of her donated to the museum by Winifred Downes who had been her 3½ year old bridesmaid and was daughter of the family’s gardener.
The exhibition opens on 7 March 2016 and will have a writer in residence during the course of its run. Lisa Blower will be focusing on Mary Webb’s Gone to Earth in the Museum’s book club and running a 6 week novel writing course, whilst working on and sharing the development of her own novel. Other events include a talk as an introduction to Mary Webb on 18 March, on Mary Webb’s Shropshire on 31 March, and Mary Webb family craft activities on 9 April and 21 May. In the 1940s a film was produced of her novel Gone to Earth which was partly shot in Much Wenlock with locals as extras, and there will be a special chance to see it screened on 20 April at the Old Market Hall Cinema in Shrewsbury.

Cellular protrusions create complex cell surface topographies, but biomechanical mechanisms regulating their formation and arrangement are largely unknown. To study how protrusions form, we focused on the morphogenesis of microridges, elongated actin-based structures that are arranged in maze-like patterns on the apical surfaces of zebrafish skin cells. Microridges form by accreting simple finger-like precursors. Live imaging demonstrated that microridge morphogenesis is linked to apical constriction. A nonmuscle myosin II (NMII) reporter revealed pulsatile contractions of the actomyosin cortex, and inhibiting NMII blocked apical constriction and microridge formation. A biomechanical model suggested that contraction reduces surface tension to permit the fusion of precursors into microridges. Indeed, reducing surface tension with hyperosmolar media promoted microridge formation. In anisotropically stretched cells, microridges formed by precursor fusion along the stretch axis, which computational modeling explained as a consequence of stretch-induced cortical flow. Collectively, our results demonstrate how contraction within the 2D plane of the cortex can pattern 3D cell surfaces.

300W DC Motor Control Shield for Arduino
The BLDC-SHIELD_IFX007T (BL)DC motor control shield from Infineon Technologies is a high current motor control board compatible with Arduino and Infineon's XMC4700 Boot Kit. It is equipped with three smart IFX007T half-bridges. The BLDC motor control shield is capable to drive one BLDC motor. Alternatively, it can be used to drive one or two bi-directional dc motors (H-Bridge configuration, cascaded to support second motor) or up to three uni-directional dc motors (half-bridge configuration).
The integrated IFX007T NovalithIC™ half-bridges can be controlled by a pwm via the IN Pin. Interfacing to a microcontroller is made easy by the integrated driver IC which features logic level inputs, diagnosis with current sense, slew rate adjustment, and dead time generation. The three IFX007T half-bridges are also fully protected against over-temperature, under-voltage, overcurrent and short circuit events.
- Brushed and brushless dc motor control up to 300W continuous load
- 8- to 40-V nominal input voltage (optimized for 24V)
- Average motor current 30A restricted due to PCB (IFX007T current limitation is 55A min.)
The motor control shield adds powerful motor control to the Arduino projects. The shield can be controlled with the general logic IO-Ports of a microcontroller. Either an Arduino Uno or the XMC4700 Relax Kit from Infineon can be used as the master.
On board of the motor control shield are three IFX007T NovalithIC™. Each features one P-channel high side MOSFET and one N-channel low side MOSFET with an integrated driver IC in one package. Due to the P-channel high side switch a charge pump is not needed.
The IFX007T half-bridge is easy to control by applying logic level signals to the IN and INH pin. When applying a pwm to the IN pin the current provided to the motor can be controlled with the duty cycle of the pwm. With an external resistor connected between the SR pin and GND the slew rate of the power switches can be adjusted.
The motor control shield can be easily connected to any Arduino board or the XMC4700 Relax Kit via headers.
Summary of Features
- Compatible with Arduino Uno R3
- Capable of high frequency pwm e.g. 30kHz
- Adjustable slew rates for optimized EMI by changing external resistor
- Driver circuit with logic level inputs
- Diagnosis with current sense
- Protection e.g. against over-temperature and overcurrent
- Fast and inexpensive prototyping of (BL)DC motor control
- Easy testing of half- and full-bridge motor control
- Status flag diagnosis with current sense capability
- Over-temperature shut down with latch behavior and under-voltage shut down


The Bayonne city administration has apparently achieved what it wanted -- approve legislation that effectively kills rent control in the Peninsula City. Along the way, local government was able to hold off a rent control group that wanted to place the measure on a referendum.
While it was a victory for city officials, landlords and developers, it is also a defeat for local Democrats who were once part of an organization that espoused its concern for the working class and low-income families. This has obviously changed.
The administration is heeding the call of real estate interests that say they can not realize the full potential of their investments and have no incentive to maintain property. They want a guarantee of profit.
These real estate investors and landlords have been given an opportunity to cash in on rising property values thanks to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail System. Bayonne embraced the modern trolley and kept the rail line alive for nearly the first decade of its existence. Light rail influenced the city to make zoning changes promoting development, primarily along the line.
What is Bayonne's long-range housing plan for the future -- the one that serves everyone? What has been realized is the City Council's unwritten gentrification plan, without safeguards to help people to stay in their childhood neighborhoods. This vacancy decontrol law continues the city's transformation into a bedroom community.
Pro-rent control activists say stabilizing rents maintain neighborhoods and provide a diverse community. Rising rent increases obviously mean communities affected will only support people and households that can afford the expected higher rents.
Eventually, this forces families to move and causes fluctuations in school populations. In the process, a more homogenized Bayonne will match the blandness of its new shopping malls and commercial districts.
There are some random efforts like the partnership of the Bayonne Community Action Program and the Urban League of Hudson County that has renovated several properties once owned by the Bayonne Housing Authority and a 46-unit affordable housing project is under construction on Avenue E. These expensive attempts are like a few drops in the ocean.
So, what are we to make of the administration's dogged persistence in fighting a proposed referendum on vacancy decontrol? Obviously, it has turned in its Democratic Party badge. It can no longer claim it watches out for "the less fortunate."

Important Aspects of Caring for Disabled Relatives
One of the best parts about having great relations with your immediate and extended family is that you can always count on family for taking care of each other. Caring for relatives can be incredibly fulfilling but also quite difficult if not planned out well. This is especially true if you have disabled relatives who need more specialized care.
Disabled relatives need proper healthcare to help them. People with disabilities are more likely to not have a job, enough money, or secondary education. This means that in addition to already being physically disadvantaged because of their disabilities, these people are more likely to have other health problems related to poor socioeconomic status. You need to make sure your disabled relatives have healthcare specialists who can help them with their individual disabilities. You also need to make sure that your disabled relatives have fundamental and basic healthcare as well. Our certified financial planners can help with insurance and healthcare planning for disabled relatives.
In order to make sure that your disabled relatives are able to get the care they need well into old age and for the rest of their lives, you need to start financial planning. You should pin down exact costs so you can better plan for senior living expenses. Knowing exactly how much money you will need to have for them in the future will help you determine how much to save and invest now. We are experts in financial planning services for the disabled and neurodiverse.
All relatives with disabilities are greatly in need of love. This is especially true of children with disabilities because they are in such an important developmental and learning stage of their lives. Above all that you do to care for your disabled relatives, make sure that they always know how much you love them and value their life, opinions, and desires. When people with disabilities feel loved, included, and accepted, they are more likely to have a higher quality of life. Showing them that you love them will help them feel better about themselves and see their disability not just as an inconvenience.
If you have the chance to care for a disabled relative, know that it is going to be a lot of hard work and will take years of proper planning. Their needs may change as they age or as their disability changes, so you need to be prepared to adapt. Even though it will be a lot of hard work, caring for a disabled relative will always be worth it if you truly love them.
Check out this article on how to plan for end-of-life care for neurodiverse patients!

Time for a tasty and healthy snack. In this new puzzle we feature some fresh organic apples. Organic grown fruits and vegetables are host to a significantly greater variety of "good" bacteria, do not contain any synthetic chemicals and taste better. If you didn't know, organic farming is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin (such as compost manure) and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting.Image Source /Credit: Daily Jigsaw Puzzles
In this puzzle, you'll piece together an image of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and a vibrant bell pepper. As you solve the puzzle, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these vegetables and think about the benefits of incorporating them into your diet. Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet, providing an array of vitamins and nutrients that are crucial for overall health and wellbeing. Tomatoes, for example, are rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function and helps the body absorb iron. Cucumbers are high in water content, making them a great way to stay hydrated, while also containing vitamins K and C. Bell peppers are a great source of vitamin A, which promotes healthy vision, and vitamin B6, which supports brain function. So, not only are these vegetables visually appealing and fun to assemble in our puzzle, but they also offer numerous health benefits. We hope you enjoy the challenge of putting the pieces together and are inspired to add more fresh vegetables to your meals!
In today's puzzle we feature some delicious eclairs on a plate. If you didn't know, an eclair is a pastry made with choux dough filled with a cream and topped with icing. It is usually filled with custard, whipped cream or chiboust cream; some other popular filling include fruit-flavored fillings. This tasty treat originated during the nineteenth century in France.
In this new puzzle we feature some fresh and juicy peaches. These tasty fruits are usually eaten raw or used in jams, preserves or juices. The peach (Prunus persica) tree is native to Northwest China, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It belongs to the genus Prunus, which includes the cherry, apricot, almond, and plum.
Green beans are also known as French beans, string beans, snap beans or simply snaps. They can be eaten raw or steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or baked. They are sold fresh, canned, and frozen. Raw green beans are 90% water, 7% carbohydrates, 2% protein, and they are a moderate source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, and manganese.
Start the day with a fun and challenging puzzle. Connect all the pieces and see the freshly picked organic plums in today's jigsaw. If you didn't know, plums may have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans. Plums can be eaten raw, turned into juice and jams or used as ingredients for various foods and drinks.
These type of edible chestnuts, also known as Spanish chestnuts or just chestnuts, have been used in cooking since ancient times. Chestnuts are traditionally roasted in their tough brown husks. Once cooked, chestnuts acquire a sweet flavor and a floury texture similar to the sweet potato. They are used in confections, desserts, puddings, cakes or just roasted and eaten. Do you like roasted chestnuts?
In today's puzzle we feature a bunch of freshly picked cabbages. If you didn't know, cabbage is a good source of vitamin K, vitamin C and dietary fiber. It can be eaten raw, pickled, stewed, fermented, steamed, stewed or braised. A cabbage generally weighs between 500 to 1,000 grams (1 to 2 lb). Cabbage cultivars come in a variety of shapes, colors (white and a range of greens and purples.) and leaf textures.
Beans are one of the longest-cultivated plants in the world. They can be cooked in many different ways, including baking, frying, and boiling, and are used in many dishes. Beans are high in protein, complex carbohydrates, folate, iron and have significant amounts of fiber. They come in a variety of shapes, size and colors. There are about 40,000 bean varieties know to this day.
In today's puzzle we feature some delicious apricots and raspberries. The apricot tree originated in China, where it was first cultivated over 4000 years ago. The tree is small, 8–12 m (26–39 ft) tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm (16 in) in diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. It's yellow-orange fruits, the apricots. are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are usually eaten raw but the are also turned into preserves, juice or dried.
The eggplant, aubergine or brinjal is grown worldwide for its edible fruit. The purple fruit, featured in this fun puzzle, is used in several cuisines. Eggplants can be steamed, barbecued, stir-fried, stewed, pan fried, deep fried, roasted, pickled, or curried. Raw eggplant can have a bitter taste, with an astringent quality, but it becomes tender when cooked and develops a rich flavor.
Carrots are typically orange in color, but there are also purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars. Their roots contain high quantities of alpha- and beta-carotene, and are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin B6. Carrots are eaten raw, boiled, steamed or fried, and cooked in soups and stews, as well as baby and even used as food for pets and other domestic animals.

Mohana Rathod, a 251-year-old daayan, sustains herself by draining the life-force from her victims. She enchants Mridul Rathod and marries him. They have two children, Ansh and Kajal. Mohana helps him amass great wealth through black magic while she gradually drains his vitality, leading to his premature death. Worried Vedashree Rathod seeks help from her friend Divya Sharma, a psychic wizardess and a reevaavanshi (member of a clan of monster-hunters) who wards off the evil eye by slashing Mohana’s plait, rendering Mohana powerless. Once cornered, Divya seals Mohana in a temple enchanted by Mantras. Divya goes missing soon after. Vedashree and Shekhar adopt Ansh and Kajal.
18 years later
Ansh and Kajal grow up with their cousins, Neha and Rishi in Mumbai. Ansh discovers his superpowers, but is unaware that he is a daavansh, the hybrid offspring of a daayan/daanav and a human. He can be saved from turning to the dark side only by a girl who has Durga’s trishula symbol as her birthmark, and is referred to as daivik (divine conduit). Divya’s daughter Piya Sharma, has that symbol behind her neck. Separated from her parents in a very young age, Piya comes to Mumbai in search of her missing mother. Sparks fly between Ansh and Piya. Piya finds her father, Nishant Sharma who happens to be her college professor. Mohana sends a puppet daayan, Ruby, with a fake daivik symbol to marry Ansh, so she can return. Ansh and Vedashree fall under Ruby’s control, during which Ruby and Ansh are married. Mohana is released from the seal and regains her powers. Mohana returns back to Ansh and he learns about his real mother.
Piya’s childhood friend and obsessive lover, Naman, attempts to marry her by taking advantage of his unwell mother, and Piya’s guardian, a visually-impaired priestess, but Ansh stops the wedding. Fearing Ansh’s budding romance with Piya, Mohana sends a message summoning Ruby’s father, Bhaisasur, an asura from Paataal Lohk to scare away Piya. Bhaisasur attacks Ansh instead of Piya, much to Mohana’s horror. A distressed Piya invokes Devi-Maa for help. She enters into a religious dance and kills Bhaisasur with her trident. Everyone learns that Piya is the real Daivik. Nishant realises that Piya is his daughter. Ansh learns about his Daavansh self and that Mohana and Vedeshree are half-sisters.
Piya’s sister, Saavi is hypnotised by Mohana and releases Dilruba, a chudel, to separate Piya and Ansh. Dilruba casts a raakhchakra, (hex) to capture Piya and Ansh, but Piya saves Ansh and finds herself trapped inside Dilruba’s hex. Ansh fools Dilruba due to which her hex breaks, freeing Piya. Mohana agrees to Ansh and Piya’s marriage and frees Divya, who is later revealed to be a Sarpika(serpent). Connecting the dots, Divya realises Mohana’s intentions. Mohana kills Divya but Divya outsmarts Mohana by transferring her serpentine powers to Piya. Ansh and Piya are married.
Piya learns Mohana’s real motive of wanting to feed on Ansh on the day of red moon eclipse: to become immortal. The churel makes Piya fall into an eternal sleep. With Piya gone, Ansh turns to the dark side and becomes an extremely powerful Daavansh who cares for no one but himself. Piya returns with the help of trinetra-mani, a gem powered by Shiva’s third eye and brings Ansh back to his senses. Piya exposes Mohana’s intentions to the Rathods, after which Ansh expels Mohana. Later, Piya and Ansh consummate their marriage.
Dola, Mohana’s twin sister and Ruby’s mother, a two-headed daayan who rules the Swapna-Lohk (Dream World) unleashes horror and threatens to kill Ansh. The Rathods manage to kill Dola, but she is revived by Mohana. The sisters fool Piya into transferring her serpentine powers to Ansh. Believing that Piya is devoid of powers, the sisters try to burn her alive using Tharal-agni a Daayan fuel. Piya invokes Devi-Maa for help and her daivik powers return. Mohana and Dola are turned into stone statues, but are freed by Ruby. A Sarp (snake-man) hypnotises Ansh and steals his Sarpika powers. He disguises himself as Ansh and targets Piya’s Trinetra-mani gem. Ansh and Piya combine their powers and defeat the Sarp. Mohana feeds on the serpent disguised as Ansh during the muhurta of the red moon eclipse and becomes a Sarpayan possessing combined powers.

After six months, Piya gives birth to a baby boy in an abandoned Shiva temple. Mohana tries to kill the child several times, but fails.
Six months later

She kidnaps him and pushes him off a cliff, but Aditya is saved by Ansh. Aditya smites Mohana dead with a trident. The Rathod family discard her ashes in a river.
Vedashree starts becoming evil and becomes fond of heavy jewellery and things that a daayan appreciates. Piya grows suspicious about Vedashree’s changed behaviour and finds out that she has become a daayan. Vedashree successfully converts Piya into a daayan, but the daayan’s power cannot overpower the divine powers within her. Piya succeeds in convincing Vedashree about the kindness within her. Vedashree removes her daayan plait and throws it into the same river where Mohana’s ashes were thrown before. Mohana acquires a mermaid’s body and returns for revenge when she reacquires her plait. Mohana tricks Piya into becoming a mermaid so that she can return. However, Mohana is threatened to be taken back to Kohra-Lohk, the graveyard of all evil powers and realises that only a Daivik can save her. Mohana helps Piya regain her human form under the condition that Piya must help her in return. Shalaka, the queen of Kohra-Lohk poisons the Rathods and upon realising her mistake, she gives the Kohrayan dagger to Ansh which has the power to push a person back to their past life.

Ansh discovers he has a twin brother, Karan (Harsh Rajput) who is handicapped but possess magical powers. Karan, manipulated by Mohana, assumes that it was Divya who made his wife, Maansi and their child, Krish into stone statues, comes back to take revenge on Divya’s family. Karan convinces Rathods to help him save his wife and child without revealing that Piya and Adi will turn to stone, while Piya is suspicious about Karan since she knew that Divya can never attack innocent people. Nishant and Ansh learn Karan’s motives but they couldn’t save Piya and Adi. Karan reveals his magical wings and knocks out Ansh. Maansi and Krish are freed from their stone form but it is revealed that Maansi is a daayan and a puppet of Mohana; Mohana had sent Maansi to obtain Karan’s magical wings. Ansh and Karan team up and attack Mohana and Maansi. Karan makes a tough decision to turn Maansi, Krish and himself into stone in order to save Piya and Adi, leaving Ansh heartbroken, but before leaving, Karan transfers his magical wings to Ansh.
The family celebrates Adi’s first birthday. Mohana turns Vedashree into her puppet, to get her things done. Vedashree tries to tarnish Piya’s image in front of Rathods, especially Ansh. Piya accidentally throws Vedashree off the terrace, who gets hospitalised while Mohana transfers Vedashree’s life into a “Praan-Pyala” and threatens Piya to leave the Rathods forever by breaking Ansh’s heart. Piya acts cold towards Ansh and leaves the House without Adi. Nishant and Saavi follow Mohana and find that the Praan-Pyala is hidden in a daayan-island floating in the sky. Mohana demands Piya to leave the city; she agrees on the condition that she needs her son along with her. Mohana agrees and helps her to get Adi but intentionally leaves Piya’s earring in Ansh’s room to mislead him. An enraged Ansh goes to Nishant’s office to get Adi back, however he learns that Piya is innocent. Ansh and Piya reach the Daayan island but Mohana flees from the place with Vedashree’s Praan pyala. Piya gives a part of her life to Vedashree to save her, but starts to lose her strength. Nishant brings his sister-Trishila, a Revavanshi, who has the power to give life to the dead. Trishila promises the family to save Piya, and succeeds, while Ansh is suspicious about Trishila’s intentions. Ansh finds out that Trishila is here for some other purpose and eventually finds out that she has come back to bring Piya’s mother, Divya back to life so that Divya can forever put an end to evil powers.
Divya creates a sword named Pralay-Talvar. Divya and Mohana hear a disembodied voice which reveals that once the Pralay-Talvar is released, the Pralay-Yuddh / war between divine powers representing Divya and Evil powers representing Mohana will begin. The one whose blood flows first will be defeated and the entire clan of theirs will get destroyed. Rathods learn about the war and tries to stop it. Ansh and Piya tries to destroy the sword but in vain. Divya, sacrifices her life by stabbing herself with the Sword to save a poisoned Ansh and to kick start the war. The Pralay-Yuddh starts with all the supernatural evil entities at one side and all the Revavanshis, Rathods and Ansh on the other side. To value her mother’s sacrifice, Piya transforms into the MahaKali Avtaar and destroys the evil forces and vows to destroy the world. Mohana flees, while all other evil entities gets burned to death. After Piya comes to her senses, she regrets not supporting Divya and realises that Divya was right and her actions were for the benefit of the coming generation. Piya burns Divya’s pyre and she and Ansh sacrifice their powers to stay away from evil and live a normal life. They diminish Adi’s powers. However, Piya is still able to use her powers and harms Adi by mistake, angering Ansh and believes that Piya did not sacrifice her powers purposefully. Piya gets tired of justifying herself and Ansh’s accusations and leaves the house. Piya realizes that she is pregnant again, and that her powers are those of her unborn child. Piya goes to confess to Ansh, but he doesn’t give Piya a chance to speak. Later a heartbroken Piya returns to her home to stay with Guru Maa.
Six years later
Ansh and Piya live separately with Adi (Diaan Talaviya) and Pari (Kisha Arora), the latter possesses daayan powers. Mohana conjures a monster called Bhasmika (Sana Amin Sheikh) who has the powers of all the evil entities. Mohana names the monster Urvashi, who enters the Rathod household to marry Ansh and bear his child. Adi sees through the true form of Urvashi but is bullied anyway.
Piya brings Pari to Mumbai for her studies. Adi and Pari become friends at school. Once they realise they are siblings, both try to make their parents reconcile. Urvashi constantly attempts to kill Adi as he is a major hindrance between her and Ansh. During the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, Urvashi, in an attempt to kidnap Adi, kidnaps Pari by mistake. Piya returns to the Rathod household after six years and demands the release of her daughter. The Rathod family learns that Pari is Piya and Ansh’s daughter. The Rathods capture Mohana in the same temple at Bandap. Adi reveals Urvashi’s true form and gets kidnapped with Pari on an island. Ansh and Piya regain their powers and with the help of their children they defeat Urvashi and return to the Rathod house.
The Rathod family wants Ansh and Piya to reunite, but Piya is reluctant due to Ansh’s mistrust, her six-year separation from Adi, and being abandoned during her pregnancy. Meanwhile, the ghost of Bhasmika rises from the ashes and possesses Piya to get intimate with Ansh. Ansh realises this and stabs her with the daivik dagger. Bhasmika successfully gets her deeds done, creates a pearl and leaves while Piya’s soul ascends to Namah Lohk. Shiva and Narayan invite her to ascend to heaven but her soul is reluctant. Ansh sacrifices himself, reaches Namah Lok where his love is tested by the Gods, and retrieves Piya’s soul. Ansh and Piya reunite and the family celebrates with the occasion of Pari and Vedashree’s birthday which fall on the same day.
Mohana returns to her daayan form after sucking all the life force out of Bhasmika and acquires Bhasmika’s powers. Nishant, Naman, and Saavi realise the pearl has grown into an egg. Pari falls under Mohana’s spell and helps her come out of captivity using the evil powers of the egg. Mohana whisks the egg off to its right place to hatch. Out of the egg comes the first Ekayaan of the world, known as Prathmayan/Prathima (Salina Prakash), who is the birth mother of Vedashree, Mohana and Dola. She is the source of all evil entities in the world. Her primary goal is to turn her younger daughter Vedashree into an Ekaayan instead of her elder daughter Mohana, as the latter’s shrewd and extremely cunning nature pose a danger for her. To achieve her motive, she wants to defeat the good represented by Goddess Durga with the evil at Dussehra. Pratima, Mohana and Pari start forming an evil army of human beings with the help of Prathmayan mantra, Naman, too, comes under Prathmayan’s spell. Nishant prepares a potion that prevents them from falling under the spell of the prathmayan mantra. Naman and Pari break out of the spell and join their family to fight Prathmayan. Piya uses divine energy to invoke Goddess Durga’s blessings and powers to kill Prathmayan using a Rama Setu arrow which they created with the help of information written in Divya’s diary.
After Prathmayan’s departure, Piya is unable to fix her daivik dagger. She immerses it in water where the dagger is refixed by another Daivik Dev (Stavan Shinde). Dev reaches the Rathod House during the anniversary celebrations of Ansh and Piya disguised as Ruchi (Piya’s cousin)’s fiancé. Dev wants to win Piya at any cost and he implants a Daivik raksha dravya on Piya’s body to prohibit intimacy between Ansh and Piya. On the day of Karva Chauth Dev attacks Ansh and leaves him for dead. He hypnotises all the family members to allow him to marry Piya in order to save Ansh. Mohana saves Ansh and helps him to save Piya. Dev eventually abducts Piya and forcefully ties his Kalasutra around her neck to enslave her. Piya outsmarts him and turns him into an ice statue. Ansh and Piya return home safely with their children on Diwali. Mohana get an opportunity to re-enter the Rathod’s house as a return of her favours for helping Ansh and saving Piya.
During the Diwali celebrations, Chaitali goes to the new neighbour’s house to greet them. She learns that the new neighbour is in fact Vedashree’s twin sister and a daayan, Kalashree (Ritu Chaudhary). Her motive is to unite with Vedashree to become a daayanjod, or a mahadaayan. Mohana constantly tries to warn the Rathods regarding the presence of a daayan in the neighbourhood, but her warnings are dismissed and she is imprisoned in a patal ketki dome. As Vedashree refuses to agree to Kalashree’s demands, the latter targets the Rathod family and locks them into a daayan mirror. Everyone but Adi and Pari are locked inside the daayan mirror and Vedashree learns of her twin sister’s actions. With the help of Daayan gem obtained from Mohana Adi Pari and Nishant brings the family back from the mirror. Vedashree, who had agreed to Kalashree’s demands in her helplessness turns into ash. Mohana cautions the Rathod family about the dangers of the ash and demands that they dispose of it. The Rathods disagree in the hopes of bringing back Vedashree to life. Meanwhile, Naman becomes a chudail and faces much trouble to continue as a Reevavanshi. Saavi gives him the task to capture a evil power in order to continue being a Reevavanshi. Dilruba misreads the Naman and believes that Naman is in love with Saavi.
Nishant discovers that Kalashree needs Prathmaayan’s vow to become a mahadaayan, which is sent to her through the latter’s hair. Piya, with the help of Mohana stops mahadaayan from being born. Mohana helps the Rathods in reviving Vedashree. In return, Mohana demands the Rathods support her in her alliance with Angad (Malhar Pandya) whom she fell in love with, unaware of his true identity. Angad is a Singha (a creature who is the sworn enemy of supernatural entities). Mohana loves Angad deeply and becomes a good person. Ansh on learning Angad’s intentions, kills him on the day of her wedding to protect Mohana and his family. Mohana is traumatized after Angad’s loss which makes her return to the dark side and swears to take revenge on Ansh. Mohana forgets all that she had promised herself when she had been in love, as her heart fills with hatred and turns vengeful. Ansh submits himself in front of Mohana so that his family is protected from Mohana’s vengeance. Nevertheless, Mohana outsmarts him and transfers Pari’s life force into a Praan-Pyaala. Ansh and Piya manage to save Pari through the help of Dilruba who sacrifices herself after giving birth to Dafli (Naman and Dilruba’s daughter). However, Mohana had already mixed her blood into Pari’s Praan-Pyaala which allows her to live inside Pari.
Mohana executes her revenge in the Rathod house and manages to hurt Vedashree and frame Piya. Piya gets arrested by a CBI officer named Abhay. On the other side, Naman is amazed to discover the supernatural powers of his newborn daughter. Ansh saves Piya from jail and holds a Christmas party in house and tells Abhay the truth. Barkha (Mohana’s lookalike) enters and shocks everyone. Nishant learns that Mohana wants to drink a potion “2 Chaand raat Ras”, which is available only during a night with two moons. The Rathods and Reewawanshis trusts Barkha and set a trap for Mohana but the latter kills Abhay and Barkha in the process and escapes with the potion. Mohana tricks Ansh into drinking the potion which makes Ansh, the King of Evil Powers, who becomes evil than ever before. Piya’s long lost brother, Ayush (also known as Adrishi) appears. With the help of Adrishi, Piya successfully brings Ansh back to his senses, however the potion enters into Ayush, making him evil. Mohana and Ayush team up to put an end to Rathods. They plan to send Rathods to moom, but Ayush returns to his senses and realises Mohana’s intentions. Ayush forcefully takes Mohana to the moon with him. Mohana escapes from Ayush but loses her mental stability. The Rathods take advantage of her loss of powers to cure Piya, but Mohana regains her powers and learns about a future of her death by the hands of Ansh. She tricks Piya into promising to help kill her murderer, who is Ansh, in exchange to leave their lives forever.
In the end she finally reveals that it was Ansh who would be her murderer. Ansh jumps into lava created by Mohana to save Piya from Mohana’s trap but she follows him. Just as Mohana is crowned queen of the witches, Ansh and Piya rise from the dead, and Ansh kills Mohana for good.

Walker Industries’ new Niagara Falls renewable gas (RNG) facility, the largest of its kind in Ontario, has entered its final stages of commissioning.
Once fully operational, the plant will capture and refine landfill gas into low-carbon RNG, or biogas, providing enough clean energy for more than 8,750 residential homes, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 48,000 tonnes over the course of a year.
Officials gathered to mark the occasion on Thursday last week.
“The project represents our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Geordie Walker, Walker President and CEO. “For the past 20 years, we have been harnessing landfill gas into energy and we are excited to provide a consistent source of clean natural gas that can heat homes and support industrial activity for many years to come.”
Originally announced in 2020, the facility is a $50 million partnership between Walker, Comcor Environmental Ltd., and Enbridge Gas Inc.
The Niagara location, according to Walker, has the necessary infrastructure to support the project over the decades to come, including a fully developed landfill gas capture and collection system and a direct connection to the Enbridge natural gas distribution system, which will be activated in the coming days.
“RNG presents a significant opportunity to provide affordable, reliable, and low-carbon fuel for Ontario’s increasing energy needs,” said Heidi Bredenholler-Prasad, Enbridge Gas Vice President of Engineering and Integrity. “The Niagara RNG facility celebrates a collaboration between industry leaders who have proven capacity and capability in energy and bio-gas utilization.”
The Niagara RNG project aligns with the Ontario government’s commitment to deliver innovative clean, affordable and renewable energy programs that reduce GHG emissions.
Both Ontario’s environment and energy minister praised the project in a news release.
“This project is a made-in-Ontario solution to reducing and converting landfill waste into affordable and reliable low-carbon energy. It’s a great example of how we’re using innovative solutions to diversify Ontario’s energy mix and support our energy transition, while fueling economic growth and building a cleaner, sustainable future for all Ontarians,” said Todd Smith, Ontario Minister of Energy.
“The collaboration between Walker Industries, Enbridge and Comcor Environmental is a great example of partners working together to seize the economic opportunity of turning landfill gas from waste into a valuable resource. This project demonstrates how innovative solutions can drive positive change that creates jobs in Ontario, improves energy reliability and reduces greenhouse gas emissions for both our environment and future generations,” said Andrea Khanjin, Ontario Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks.
Walker Industries, a fifth generation, family-owned company with more than 130 years in business, operates from its base in the Niagara region with facilities across Canada and the United States. Walker Employees more than 1,200 people in environmental waste management and recovery, renewable energy, paving and construction, aggregates, and emulsion chemistries.
