MORELL, P.E.I. — Four years ago, Donna Glass raised the first Pride flag in Morell.
This year, her business, Kingfisher Outdoors Inc., hosted the community’s first Pride event, the Pride Paddle from 2 - 6 p.m. on Aug. 2.
Offering discounted kayak rentals, Glass hoped to make a rainbow on the river.
Though not affiliated with Pride P.E.I., Glass recognized a need in Morell to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and let them know they’re accepted.
“Most people know and love a friend or family member who belongs to the LGBTQ community and I think for too long, especially rurally, people who grew up feeling different in any way often left.”
The idea for the day had been floating around in Glass’ head since opening up the business for the season earlier in July, she said.
“I could see the Pride flag every time I put out kayaks.”
The afternoon was hot, with a heat warning in effect for the Island, but a couple brave souls went out on the water.
Devan Myers drove out from Charlottetown to take a kayak for a spin.
Normally, Myers would jump in the parade in the city, so she was thankful for an activity to do in support of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
“Usually I am (participating), I’m in the parades, but this year has been so different, so this is the one thing I can kind of do.”
For Myers, an event like Pride Paddle can make a big difference in a small place, she said.
“A lot of these small communities are still so sheltered.”
Leroy Pineau was with Myers and he came out for a simple reason.
“To support a community I’m proud to be a part of.”
While not an official part of Pride P.E.I., Glass reached out to the organization P.E.I. two weeks ago but started the process too late to be included.
Undeterred, she went to Wild Impulse and bought as many small Pride flags as she could, along with some bandanas for her staff. The flags were given away to everyone who went for a paddle.
Looking to next year, Glass wants to get a start on planning sooner and hopes to be a part of Pride P.E.I.’s official schedule.
As for why Glass flew the flag in the first place and why she started the Pride Paddle this year, she had a simple answer.
“It thought it was time. It was definitely time.”

1. LG 65" C2 OLED Evo
Best High-End Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
If you’ve recently gotten your hands on the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S and want the best TV to take advantage of these consoles’ impressive capabilities, the LG Class C2 OLED Evo has arrived. This TV hits the sweet spot with the brilliance of its 4K OLED display and host of quality features. It really shines in gaming thanks to its low latency, support for variable refresh rates, and excellent software clearly designed to cater to gamers. On board are four HDMI 2.1 ports that all support up to 120Hz, G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync, so you’ll rarely see the screen stuttering or tearing. You also get HDR gaming along with a game optimizer, allowing you to fine-tune the picture to work best for the type of game you’re playing.
Speaking of picture, the quality of the C2 OLED Evo’s display is second to none. This TV is somehow brighter than last year's LG C1, and by using OLED technology, you get the fastest pixel response time currently available. Blacks are truly black, and there’s little worry about annoying “halo” effects around bright objects on dark backgrounds. The absolute contrast also makes the colors pop, and any scene from bright landscapes and skies to dark caves and creepy basements look incredible. If the content you’re consuming is lacking in resolution, an AI processor is even included to upscale what you’re watching to 4K.
2. Sony 65" X90K
Best Mid-Range Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
You might want a great gaming TV but don’t necessarily want to spend a huge chunk of change to get it. That’s where the Sony X90K comes into play, literally. This TV costs around $1,500, making it about $1,000 less than its higher-end counterparts, though it still packs in all the best features for your gaming consoles. You’re getting a bright and colorful 65-inch full-array LED display that takes advantage of Sony's XR processing technology for a natural and stunning picture. Admittedly, HDR isn’t going to be as striking as an OLED panel, but you’ll still get deep blacks and solid viewing angles. However, the contrast is a real winner, and it can also help make you one, too, as it’s easier to see what’s lurking in the dark corners of your games.
Sony’s X90K will have you tearing through a game's action at 120Hz in 4K with little worry, as both ALLM and VRR are built-in. So, you’re in for some super-smooth gameplay. Two HDMI 2.1 ports for your gaming consoles or PC make all of this possible. And if you’re planning to use the PS5 with this TV, Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Switch ensures you have the optimal settings for the content you’re viewing without you ever lifting a finger.
3. TCL 55" Class 6-Series Mini-LED QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV
Best Budget Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
The TCL 6-Series Mini-LED Google TV is geared up for gaming on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S while still keeping the budget focused in mind. You can enjoy the gorgeous visuals in your favorite games on a 55-inch 4K TV with a 120Hz refresh rate for around $700. Featuring the latest QLED panel loaded with Mini LEDs it offers superb contrast and brightness, making it great for next-gen games while also giving you a leg up on the competition.
Though the TCL 6-Series Mini-LED Google TV does not support G-Sync or Freesync, it does offer VRR to prevent game tearing. Better still is its Auto Game Mode, which detects your console for smoother action, low latency, and the best picture settings to amp up your gameplay. And, when you’re not gaming, you can easily stream other content with the built-in Google TV OS.
4. Hisense 55" Class U8G Quantum Series ULED Smart TV
Best Ultra Cheap Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
If you’re looking for a super affordable TV that doesn’t sacrifice on all the latest features you want for the next-gen consoles, the Hisense 55U8G is a great model to consider. This TV comes packing a 4K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth gameplay. And, the variable refresh rate support with FreeSync eliminates worries about screen tearing ruining your 4K experience. Plus, the Auto Low Latency Mode and Game Mode work together to cut down on input lag so you get the best playing experience out of your TV.
The picture quality of this 55-inch ULED TV should also impress. There’s a wide color gamut for more brilliant and accurate colors. Plus, with 1,500 nits of brightness and loads of local dimming zones, you can take advantage of Dolby Vision and the HDR10+ support. The credentials of the Hisense 55U8G match those of much pricier options, so if you’ve got a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S this TV is ready to take them on.
5. Sony 65" Class A95K Series Bravia XR OLED 4K TV
Best OLED Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
OLED TVs are perfect to partner with your PS5 or Xbox X/S consoles, and Sony outdoes itself with the A95K’s QD-OLED panel. Using a combination of Quantum Dots and OLED technology, you get better control over the TV’s visuals as each pixel lights up rather than relying on a backlight. And it does all of this while consuming less power, making burn-in less of an issue. Even at the full 800 nits of brightness, you still won’t see any color cast while blacks remain truly black. In terms of color accuracy, there’s excellent coverage in the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 color gamuts. Overall, this display offers a bright and vibrant image with insanely nuanced, lifelike detail that’s still capable of some top-tier gaming.
And the Sony A95K is a gaming beast. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support up to a 120Hz refresh rate, VRR, and ALLM, so you’ll enjoy butter-smooth, responsive gameplay. Even while you’re using the Game Mode feature for higher framerates, you might lose a bit of color accuracy, but the graphics are still spectacular. If you hook up your PS5 to the display, the console adds more convenient functionality, too, with Auto HDR Tone Mapping and an Auto Genre Picture Mode. Those allow the TV to optimize HDR settings automatically and recognize what you’re viewing, switching modes to minimize input lag.
6. Samsung 65" Class QN90B Smart QLED 4K TV
Best QLED Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
It’s hard to beat all the tech Samsung has crammed into the QN90B. Similar to the impressive QN90A, this 65-inch TV totes Neo QLED, which utilizes tiny Quantum Mini LEDs that emit their own light for the TV’s backlight. They work similar to OLED panels, but without the worry of permanently burning images into the screen. Thanks to those LEDs, there is a wild number of local dimming zones, so you’ll find more control over the contrast ratio and can enjoy incredible HDR peak brightness, ensuring you can see the display whether you’re lounging on the couch or sitting at your gaming desk.
The Samsung QN90B is prepared to take on even the most graphic-heavy games on your consoles or can act as a solid gaming monitor. Unfortunately, you don’t get a DisplayPort, but all four HDMI ports are capable of a 4K/120Hz response rate, which means you can hook up your Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC at the same time. And, the actions with your mouse, keyboard, or controller will feel super responsive thanks to the low input lag and fast response times. There are also a variety of gaming modes that support ALLM and VRR, so you’re in for some insane motion clarity.
7. Vizio 75" Class P-Series Quantum
Best Big-Screen Gaming TV for Next-Gen Consoles
Go big at home with the 75-inch Vizio P-Series Quantum. You’re placed right in the middle of the action of your favorite games with a screen of this size, and it’s more attainable than you think. It costs significantly less than other TVs with the same impressive measurements, but you aren’t losing out on game-winning features either. It offers up HDMI 2.1 connections for 4K gaming at 120 frames per second that will cruise along with your latest consoles. Plus, with an Auto Game Mode and VRR support, your TV can easily be optimized to get the most out of your favorite shooters or racing games.
Gamers will love this TV, but it’s a solid all-around option thanks to its massive stunning display. It comes with Quantum Color to make whatever you’re viewing more lifelike and nuanced. And, with great contrast and high peak brightness, you’ll be able to really take advantage of the HDR capabilities packed into this TV. The only real flaws are its small viewing angle and some haloing may occur around bright objects.
8. Samsung 65" Class QN900B Smart Neo QLED 8K TV
Best 8K Gaming TV
If you’re looking to future-proof your TV, 8K is the way to go. That impressive resolution gives you four times the number of pixels compared to 4K, so you’re in for insane detail and awesome picture quality. Our favorite — of the still limited number of 8K options available — happens to be the Samsung QN900B. Samsung's Neo QLED technology is packed in, which uses Quantum Mini LED backlights. Tons of these tiny LEDs are tucked closely together, and more backlights allow for more fine-tuned control of local dimming, meaning you get flashy highlights while shadow details remain deep and dark. With Quantum HDR 64X also baked in, you’ll enjoy the bold, vibrant colors of the display even in the brightest rooms in your home.
And don’t worry, this TV is also ready for you to put your PS5 and Xbox Series X/S to good use. You’ll experience smooth gaming at either 4K/120Hz (144Hz) or 8K/60Hz. With low input lag, your games will feel super responsive. Both FreeSync and G-Sync support should also keep screen tearing to a minimum, and ALLM delivers fast performance to keep you immersed in the action. Beyond that, you can even enjoy some HDR gaming on the virtually bezel-less TV.
Where to Get the Best TVs for Gaming in the UK
What to Look For in a Gaming TV for Next Generation Consoles
There are several key features that make for a great gaming TV. The first one to pay attention to is the refresh rate. If you want the smoothest possible gameplay, you should be seeking out TVs with higher refresh rates. All of our picks offer 4K/120Hz, which perfectly match up with the specs of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, with 8K TVs making their way onto the scene 8K/60Hz also offers some solid gameplay.
Next up, the variable refresh rate is essential for staying immersed in your gaming content. VRR helps to eliminate screen tearing by adjusting the FPS to match what is coming out of your gaming systems. Therefore, your TV can handle even the most graphically heavy content in your games without any stuttering or noticeable changes. Most gaming TVs these days come toting some type of VRR tech whether it be FreeSync, G-Sync, or even the VRR built-in to the HDMI 2.1 spec. So, be sure to look out for these if you're looking to game at high frame rates.
HDMI 2.1 connectivity may be the most crucial specification to seek out when purchasing a gaming TV. If you’re looking to game at 120Hz in 4K, which both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S offer, you'll need this port. An HDMI 2.0 port will only offer 4K at speeds of 60Hz.
HDMI 2.1 will also allow you to take advantage of features like Auto Low Latency Mode(ALLM), VRR, and you can even play games in Ultra HD. Essentially, an HDMI 2.1 connection gives you the best possible gaming experience.

TRACY (CBS13) — A female bear spotted roaming the streets of Tracy multiple times in recent days has been captured after it was found in a tree.
Wildlife officers tranquilized the bear before it fell to the ground as hundreds of neighbors looked on.
It’s not every day you see a large sleeping bear fall from a tree in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Hundreds of people showed up for the unusual sight and cheered as fish and wildlife crews made the tricky catch with a tarp.
“When the bear fell everyone just started screaming ‘Oh my god is it dead, is it dead?’” said Janesah Mesones.
Loree Sotelo came out of her house on Wednesday afternoon to the neighborhood kids yelling that a bear was in a tree. Her son even snapped a selfie.
As word spread, more and more people showed up, filling the neighborhood streets, armed with cellphones and cameras to capture every nail-biting moment.
It took three tranquilizer shots to put the adult bear to sleep, but it took hours for her to finally let go of the tree and drop to the ground.
Days before the bear ended up in a tree, there were several sightings around Tracy. But each time police arrived, the bear had moved on without a trace.
“When I heard there was a bear in Tracy I thought people were kidding,” Mesones said.
Once the bear was lowered and crews were sure it was safe, the crowd moved in to grab one last shot of a bear in deep slumber.
The bear is expected to be OK and will be released either somewhere in Marin County or the Yosemite area. The bear will be tagged indicating it had been captured in the past.

The Hennepin County Board on Thursday is expected to approve a plan for a $79.3 million rail hub near Target Field that will amount to Minneapolis' Grand Central Station, Twins President Dave St. Peter said, the Star Tribune reports.
The station is being expanded to better accommodate Twins-game rail traffic and what will be a hub for four light-rail lines and a commuter line, the newspaper reports. But the county is going big, with grander visions than a utilitarian station. It plans to boost Minneapolis' North Loop area by creating a multi-use station, the Star Tribune notes. Plans include retail, a public plaza and a park.
Money to finance the project is coming from a variety of sources, including about $17 million in state bonding funds, and more than $20 million in federal grants, the Star Tribune reports. The county is expected to pay about $16 million.
Construction is already under way at the site. The station is slated to open in 2014, according to a county fact page about the project. That page also has more information about the rail lines that will funnel into the hub, and about how project managers expect the project to revitalize the North Loop neighborhood.
The neighborhood has evolved through the decades from a trolley loop to a hip home to restaurants, bars and the three-year-old Target Field, the Star Tribune notes. Area advocates have a conceptual design of the station project (also known as the Interchange) on the North Loop Neighborhood Association website.

Piyasayı Güçlendirmek İçin Askeri Operasyonlarda İHA’ların Arttırılması
Aviation high speed motors are the most important components in powering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These aerial machines are being increasingly deployed by armed forces around the world for military operations in the context of national security, cross-border tensions, and growing terrorist activities. For example, in March 2021, the Indian Army leased four Heron UAVs from Israel Aerospace Industries to counter aggression by Chinese troops along the India-China border. Furthermore, defense agencies are also collaborating with aviation companies to build next-generation drones to enhance their defense arsenal. In February 2021, for instance, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded contracts to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and General Atomics to craft air-to-air combat drones under its LongShot program. Such prolific progress in UAV technology will spawn incredible opportunities for players in this market and elevate its potential.
Commercial Aircraft Segment to Occupy Commanding Position
In terms of platform, this market has been divided into commercial aircraft, general aviation aircraft, business aircraft, electric aircraft, UAVs, and helicopters. The commercial aircraft segment led the market in 2020 with a share of 22.50%, owing to the soaring demand for commercial aircraft worldwide. As a consequence, domestic airliners are rapidly procuring commercial airplanes from aviation companies. For example, in March 2021, United Airlines placed an order for an additional 25 jets from Boeing’s 737 Max fleet to prepare itself for a rebound from the coronavirus crisis.
By type, the global market has been segregated into AC motor and DC motor. Based on application, the market has been segmented into propulsion system, flight control, and fuel management system. On the basis of geography, the market has been classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World.

In recent years, the number of women entrepreneurs has been on the rise. While this is a great sign for gender equality, it also means that there is more competition in the marketplace.
To succeed as a woman entrepreneur, you need to be resilient. Resilience is the ability to withstand and recover from setbacks. It is a critical quality for entrepreneurs, as there will always be challenges and obstacles in your path.
So how can you build resilience as a woman entrepreneur? Here are 7 ways:
- Understand that failure is part of the journey
- Develop a strong support network
- Build a positive mindset
- Be prepared for challenges
- Stay focused on your goals
- Be flexible and adaptable
- Learn from your mistakes
If you want to be a successful women entrepreneur, you need to develop resilience. By following the tips above, you will be well on your way to building this important quality.
2. Why is resilience important for women entrepreneurs?
There are many reasons why resilience is an important quality for women entrepreneurs to develop.
Firstly, resilience is necessary for women entrepreneurs to climb the corporate ladder and achieve success. As the business world is often dominated by men, it can be difficult for women to make it to the top. Resilience will help them to stay focused, despite facing setbacks and challenges along the way.
Secondly, resilience helps women entrepreneurs stay motivated. Having a successful career can be a challenging and long journey, with many highs and lows. Resilience gives women the mental strength to stay on the path to success.
Thirdly, resilience is important for giving women the confidence to take risks. Without resilience, women entrepreneurs may be afraid to take risks, which could prevent them from making important decisions that could shape their business’s success.
Finally, resilience helps to create a culture of innovation. By staying focused and resilient on their goals, women entrepreneurs can continue to develop innovative ways to tackle challenges and come up with creative solutions.
3. What are some things you can do to build resilience?
These are some of the things women entrepreneurs can do to cultivate resilience:
- Take care of yourself: A good self-care routine is essential for boosting resilience. This could involve going to bed at regular times, exercising, and taking breaks throughout the day.
- Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques like meditation and yoga can help to relax the mind, reduce stress, and improve focus. This can help women remain resilient in the face of challenges.
- Build a supportive network: Good relationships with friends and family can offer great emotional support and help women stay motivated. Networking within the industry is also important for staying connected and up to date on market trends.
- Set achievable goals: Short-term achievable goals can provide a sense of accomplishment, boosting feelings of resilience and motivation.
- Acknowledge and celebrate success: Celebrating successes can help to build resilience and give women the strength to continue pushing forward.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help: Resilience implies the ability to solve problems, but that doesn’t mean to never ask for help. Having a support system to rely on can help women achieve success and remain resilient in tough times.
- Find a hobby: Finding something outside of work that you enjoy doing can help to reduce stress and provide an outlet for expressing your creativity. This could help to maintain a positive attitude and reduce anxiety.
4. The importance of a support network
The importance of having a support network for women entrepreneurs can never be overstated. Feeling supported has a positive impact on one’s self-confidence and wellbeing, which can go a long way in helping entrepreneurs remain resilient in the face of challenges.
It’s important to have reliable people to turn to when things get tough. The right mentor or advisor can offer sound advice, motivate and encourage entrepreneurs to persevere, and provide support when needed.
Women entrepreneurs should also network with other women in their industry. This will help them to gain valuable insights, advice, and support. Networking with other women helps to reinforce the idea that women can achieve success if they put effort in and remain resilient.
Being part of a supportive network can also help to keep entrepreneurs motivated and on track when challenging times arise. Having the support of others can help provide the strength and courage needed to overcome difficult times.
5. The power of mindfulness
The power of mindfulness is often overlooked when we think about building resilience as a woman entrepreneur. Mindfulness is simply defined as a mental state of being present and aware of one’s thoughts and feelings in the moment, without judging them.
When practiced regularly, mindfulness can help reduce stress, improve focus and wellbeing, and maintain balance in life. For entrepreneurs, the combination of all these benefits can be invaluable.
Taking the time to practice mindfulness can help to keep anxieties and worries at bay. It can help entrepreneurs to maintain clarity and stay focused on their goals, even during difficult times. Taking deep breaths, meditating, and using visualisation techniques can help to transform our minds and make us more resilient.
Mindfulness also helps to increase self-awareness. Through mindful observation of our thoughts, we can start to become aware of our patterns of behaviour and the emotional
reactions that come with them. This awareness can help entrepreneurs to make better decisions and become more resourceful.
Overall, the power of mindfulness has many benefits, and it can be an effective tool for building resilience. Being mindful can help entrepreneurs to remain calm, focused, and enthusiastic in even the most challenging times.
6. Taking care of yourself
Taking care of yourself is an essential component of your resilience-building journey. Women entrepreneurs are always trying to find a balance between work and life, but often struggle to find time to care for themselves. Investing in yourself can help you become more resilient and cope better when faced with challenges.
Taking time out to relax can be incredibly beneficial. Find something that works for you and make it a priority. Whether it’s a yoga class, walking outdoors, or just a few minutes of quiet time, it’s important to recognise the value of taking care of yourself.
Eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise are also important for your physical and mental well-being. Eating healthy meals, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly can improve your mood and help you stay energised and productive.
Finally, make sure to get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your physical and mental health. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep every night, and try to make it a priority.
Taking care of yourself is an essential part of resilience-building and will help you stay focused and productive even during tough times. Don’t neglect your own needs, and make sure to build time for self-care into your routine.
- 7. Wrapping upBuilding resilience as a woman entrepreneur is not an easy task. It can take time to identify and implement the strategies that will help you stay focused, motivated, and productive even when faced with risks or obstacles.However, there are steps you can take to ensure that you develop the resilience you need to succeed. Developing a positive mindset, learning to recognise and manage your emotions, setting a routine, and taking care of yourself are all important components of building resilience.The key is to identify the strategies that will work for you. Think about your individual needs, strengths, and capabilities, and use that information to build a resilient routine. It may take some trial and error to figure out what works best for you, so be patient and be open to learning new methods or adopting different approaches.
Remember that resilience is an ongoing journey and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your efforts to become more resilient are likely to change and evolve over time, so don’t be afraid to adjust your plan accordingly.
Finally, don’t forget to celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Recognise the progress you’ve made and be proud of yourself for the hard work you’ve put in. It will help you stay motivated and focused on achieving your goals.

Mashups using the same API (2666)
Earlier this week Microsoft announced that it is making some of the imagery used in its Virtual Earth platform available for purchase (more on Virtual Earth in our VE SDK profile). The imagery, taken with Microsoft's proprietary UltraCam shown below is available for approximately 200 cities (in high resolution and averaging less than two years old).
Google added a new layer to its own mapping application to show transit routes in the 400+ cities where it has data. The result is an easy way to see nearby bus and train stops on the web or on some mobile phones. Unfortunately, neither the data nor the imagery is available in the API version of Google Maps.
Look out, CloudMade. Google announced a new feature in its Maps API that lets developers control the underlying map imagery. Map Styling gives you control of colors and whether types of features are included in the map. Previously this level of map styling was only available by paying for underlying map data, or using the Open Street Map project that CloudMade is based upon.

This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/941,356, filed on Sep. 30, 1997 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,053,056), which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/029,624 filed on Oct. 25, 1996, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
In a medical setting, oxygen can be delivered to a patient from a cryogenic vessel, high pressure gas storage vessel or other controlled pressure delivery sources, such as a hospital delivery system. Such an oxygen delivery system includes an adjustable flow regulator to select a flow rate of oxygen to the patient. Adjustable flow regulators typically include a circular orifice plate having a plurality of apertures of varying sizes through which the oxygen can flow.
In order to create an aperture that allows a certain flow rate, users of prior art techniques typically create an undersized aperture using a hand tool, measure the flow rate, and subsequently increase the aperture size and measure the flow rate until gas flows at the desired rate. Other prior art methods utilize needle valves, stamping or compression of a large aperture, fabrication and assembly of discrete components, blockage of a flow conduit by a ball or tapered pin, photoetching of a thin metal disk that is subsequently attached to a thicker plate, or other largely manual methods.
To obtain an accurate flow rate, a real-time flow measurement is therefore made of each aperture during fabrication. Because this is largely a manual process, accurate registration is difficult to achieve, sometimes yielding a secondary aperture proximate to the main aperture to produce the proper flow rate. If the flow rate of a particular aperture is greater than a desired flow rate, then the entire part is rejected.
Prior art techniques suffer from at least two disadvantages. First, they are time-consuming and labor intensive processes. Second, they do not take full advantage of the fact that flow rates are proportionally related to hole sizes.
Orifice plates can be manufactured having flow apertures that are formed to have accurate dimensions. As such, real-time measurement and repair is unnecessary. Consequently, every orifice plate can be identically fabricated, within allowed tolerances, using automated machinery. In addition, a complete flow control device can be manufactured from a single piece of material—the orifice plate.
An orifice plate can include a rigid circular plate of material, such as brass or other soft metal, having a first (bottom) surface and a second (top) surface. A counter bore can yield a domed support structure in the material at each flow aperture location. Specifically, the domed support structure can have a partial ellipsoidal, or conical shape. In accordance with one aspect, the domed support structure has a semi-spherical shape. The counter bore thus defines a support structure having an open base at the first (bottom) surface and an apex proximate to the second (top) surface. Prior art attempts at piercing thin-walled orifice plates have failed due to the lack of such a support.
A flow aperture can then be formed through the material from the second (top) surface and registered to the apex of the support structure. In particular, there may be a plurality of apertures, each aperture having a respective size and registered to an apex of a respective support structure.
The support structures and the apertures can be created by a computer-controlled machine. In particular, the computer can control a piercing tool which is automatically registered to the apex of the support structure and inserted through the thinned material to form the flow aperture. By using a computer-controlled process, orifice plates can be repeatedly reproduced to be substantially identical, within permitted tolerance.
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, the orifice plate can be used in a flow regulator. In a flow regulator, an inflow conduit provides oxygen or another gas at a substantially constant pressure and an outflow conduit provides the gas at a specific flow rate. The orifice plate is coupled between the inflow conduit and the outflow. In particular, the flow regulator can adjustably control the flow of medical oxygen from a supply vessel to a patient. In such an application, the flow apertures vary in size from about 0.0007 square millimeters or less to about 0.8 square millimeters and the thickness of plate material at the apex of the dome structure is about 0.1 millimeter. Flow rates of 1/32 liters per minute (lpm) can be reliably achieved from a 50 pounds per square inch (psi) oxygen supply. Other dimensions can be used for other applications.
The above and other features of the flow control device, including various novel details of construction and combination of parts, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims. It will be understood that the particular flow control devices embodying the invention are shown by illustration only and not as a limitation of the invention. In the accompanying drawings, like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention. The principles and features of the invention may be embodied in varied and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional diagram of still another embodiment of a support structure.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a particular embodiment of the invention employing a pyramidal piercing tool.
FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional diagram of a formed flow aperture showing a particulate matter trap.
FIGS. 1A-1B are a perspective view of a typical cryogenic and high pressure supply vessel, respectively. The vessel 2, 2′ can be an oxygen supply vessel. An adjustable flow regulator 6, 6′ is coupled to a supply conduit 4 from the vessel 2, 2′. Within the flow regulator 6, 6′ is a circular orifice plate (described below), which can have a plurality of discrete flow settings. Each flow setting is registered to a respective flow aperture. Each aperture supports a specific flow rate through an outflow conduit 8, 8′, as indicated by the setting of an adjusting dial 5.
FIG. 2 is a bottom-side perspective view of a particular orifice plate 10. As illustrated, the orifice plate includes eleven flow apertures 12 a-12 k corresponding to eleven discrete flow settings. Each flow aperture 12 a-12 k has a respective flow area corresponding to a preselected flow rate. An optional mounting hub 18 can be utilized to register the orifice plate 10 to the adjusting dial 5 (FIG. 1). Although eleven flow apertures are illustrated, corresponding to eleven selectable flow rates, a greater number or a smaller number of flow apertures 12 can be provided, depending on the intended application.
In some applications, only one flow aperture 12 may be required. In such applications either a fixed flow rate is specified or the flow rate may be adjusted by varying the supply pressure of the gas. In any event, the flow control device may be fabricated integrally with the regulator body—without a separate, rotatable orifice plate.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a particular orifice plate 10 embodied in an illustrative flow regulator 6. The orifice plate 10 separates a supply conduit 4 supplying gas at an essentially constant operating pressure from an outflow conduit 8. It will be understood that the orientation of the orifice plate can be reversed from that shown. The illustrated orientation, however, offers particular advantages. First, the piercing tool deflects the orifice plate material into the counter bore 14. That deflected material tends to create a particulate matter trap, as will be discussed below.
It will also be understood that the orifice plate 10 can be adapted for use in any flow regulator which uses a prior art orifice plate. Particular embodiment of flow regulators having an orifice plate as described herein are commercially available from Inovo, Inc. of Naples, Fla. Specific examples of Inovo regulators are described in U.S. application Ser. No. 09/342,953 (filed Jun. 29, 1999), U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/091,127 (filed Jun. 29, 1998), U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/119,745 (filed Feb. 9, 1999), U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/124,704 (filed Mar. 15, 1999), and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/127,961 (filed Apr. 6, 1999), the teachings of which are all incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Returning to FIG. 2, each flow apertures 12 a-12 k is centered relative to a respective counter bore 14 a-14 k. As viewed from the bottom side, the counter bores 14 a-14 k create a domed support structure from the plate material. As the term is used herein, a domed structure is a three-dimensional structure having an open base and a wall tapering to an apex. Examples of dome wall shapes include partial ellipsoidal shapes, such as semi-spheres and elliptic paraboloids, and conical shapes. A cross-section taken through the apex reveals an arched-shape support wall, which can include semicircular, semi-oval, or triangular shapes. Other suitable shapes may be found by routine experimentation.
FIGS. 4A-4B are cross-sectional diagrams of a first and a second flow aperture 12 a, 12 b of FIG. 2, respectively. As illustrated, both flow apertures 12 a, 12 b have a circular flow area and the first flow aperture 12 a has a smaller diameter than the second flow aperture 12 b. As illustrated, the principle axis of each flow aperture 12 a, 12 b is registered to a respective apex of a domed structure 14 a, 14 b having a semi-spherical wall 15 a, 15 b. Precise registration between the flow apertures 12 a, 12 b and the apex of the domed structures 14 a, 14 b, however, is not critical.
A primary purpose of the domed support is to allow rapid, automatic piercing of apertures to provide a specified flow rate, such between at least about 0.03 millimeter (0.001 inch) and 1 millimeter (0.039 inch) in diameter. The predictability of the disclosed method is particularly important for forming the smaller apertures for the lowest flow rates. The smaller diameter apertures are especially useful in pediatric medical oxygen regulators, where low flow rates may be desired. Using the disclosed fabrication method, small aperture sizes, and thus low flow rates, can be obtained that cannot be realized using other known methods. For example, oxygen flow rates of less than 1/4 lpm, at least down to 1/32 lpm, can be reliably obtained from an operating pressure of 50 psi, using the disclosed method. Precision flow apertures with tight tolerances ensures that the most vulnerable patients, including premature infants, can receive an appropriate and accurate dosage of oxygen.
When a tapered tool is employed, the computer controls the size of the aperture by controlling the depth of the pierce. This eliminates the need for hand-piercing and real-time flow calibration, which are necessary without the use of domed supports. Instead, the flow apertures 12 can be fabricated using automated piercing machinery.
Although prior art techniques have included counter bores, they used relatively large cylindrical-shaped counter bores. Those counter bores were used to thin a region of the plate material and a flow aperture was then formed through this thinned material. Because of the relatively large target area of the thinned material (i.e., an area of a substantially constant thickness), precise alignment between a piercing tool and the bore was not required. Due to flex and rebound of the relatively thin material being pierced, however, the size of each aperture, and therefore its flow rate, could not be accurately achieved. The machining of the relatively large cylindrical-shaped counter bores also tends to warp and weaken the extended thinned area of material, which also affects the size of the flow apertures.
It should be noted that the domed support structure 14, however, can have a flat ceiling. That is, there can be a thinned region of relatively constant thickness between the top of the counter bore and the top surface of the plate. That flat ceiling, however, is limited in size so as to inhibit warping during machining and significant flexing and redounding during the piercing operation. In fact, as the area of the flat ceiling approaches the area of the flow aperture, tapering of the walls may be unnecessary. Those dimensions can vary depending on the thickness of the thinned material and the size of the desired flow aperture. This implies that the counter bores may not be identical. Each counter bore dimension would ideally accommodate one (or a few) flow aperture dimension.
FIGS. 5A-5D are process flow diagrams for creating a particular flow aperture in accordance with the invention. The area of material 16 being pierced should be sufficiently thin to allow a tool to make a hole without breaking the material or a piercing tool 20. To facilitate that task, the orifice plate is made of brass or another soft metal. The thinned material may be less than about 0.3 millimeter (0.01 inch) thick. To achieve this thickness, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, a counter bore 14 having a diameter D of about 3.2 millimeters (0.125 inch) is applied to the orifice plate 10 of greater thickness. The distance z between the apex of the wall 15 and the opposite surface 16 of the orifice plate 10 is then thinned to about 0.1 millimeter (e.g., 0.0035 inch). It will be understood that the exact dimensions are a design choice of the user and can depend on the materials used for the orifice plate 10 and the piercing tool 20.
Referring to FIG. 5B, the piercing tool 20 is placed in position under the control of an automated machine 30. Specifically, the central axis of the piercing tool 20 is registered with the apex of the semi-spherical void 14. The piercing tool 20 can have a conical, pyramidal or other shape suitable for piercing the orifice plate 10. As illustrated, the piercing tool 20 is tapered at an angle, which can be chosen by the user. For example, the angle can be suitably chosen to be about 7-10 degrees.
Referring to FIG. 5C, the piercing tool 20 is forced into the orifice plate 10. As the piercing tool 20 goes deeper, a larger hole is created. By using a semi-spherical support, there is little or no flex or resulting rebound from applying the piercing tool 20 to the structure. Downward forces are dispersed down the wall into progressively thicker material.
Referring to FIG. 5D, a circular flow aperture 12 having a diameter d has been created using a conical piercing tool 20. For example, the flow aperture 12 can have a diameter d of 1 millimeter±0.006 millimeter (e.g., 0.003 inch±0.0002 inch). By using a semi-spherical support, the required tool depth to achieve a given aperture diameter is predictable, which permits the automated fabrication of flow apertures. Although the aperture 12 is illustrated as having a circular flow area, the actual shape of the aperture 12 depends on the shape of the piercing tool 20. Accordingly, the flow aperture 12 can have a circular, oval, polygonal or any other suitable shape.
In accordance with a particular embodiment, both the counter bores 14 and the flow apertures 12 are formed using a single Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine. Sample orifice plates are selected for quality control inspection, which includes off-line flow rate measurements.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional diagram of another embodiment of a support structure. As illustrated, a counter bore 14′ yields an ellipsoidal-walled support structure 15′ in the plate material 10. Note that as the diameter of the counter bore 14′ approaches the diameter of the flow aperture 12, the tapered section of the wall will be destroyed by the piercing tool.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional diagram of yet another embodiment of a support structure. As illustrated, a counter bore 14″ yields a conical-walled support structure 15″ in the plate material 10. Such an embodiment may be particularly useful for supporting extremely small flow apertures.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional diagram of yet another embodiment of a support structure. As illustrated, two opposing counter bores 14 1, 14 2 are formed in the plate material 10. The flow aperture 12 is formed by piercing the thinned plate material between the apexes of the counter bores 14 1, 14 2. Although the counter bores 14 1, 14 2 are illustrated as having semi-circular walls 15 1, 15 2, any of the aforementioned shapes or combinations can be substituted.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a particular embodiment employing a pyramidal piercing tool 20′. As illustrated, the piercing tool 20′ yields a triangular aperture 12′ in the plate material 10. The aperture 12′ is centered on the apex of a respective counter bore 14 (shown in phantom). Although the pyramidal piercing tool 20′ is shown as having three sides, it will be understood that the piercing tool 20′ can have a greater number of sides.
FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional diagram of a formed flow aperture showing a particulate matter trap. The piercing operation does not necessarily remove material. Instead, the piercing tool 20 ruptures the thinned material 10 to form the flow aperture 12. This operation forces shards of material 40 downward into the void 14. Those shards of material 40 project outward from the wall 15 to create pockets 45. When the gas flow is from the bottom to the top, as shown, the pockets 45 operate to trap particulate matter that may be in the gas flow, thereby inhibiting the transfer of such particulate matter through the flow aperture 12.
An added advantage of forming the flow aperture 12—instead of machining it is that the top surface 16 of the orifice plate is smooth. A machined (e.g. drilled) aperture would have burrs. Without such a sharp boundary, the orifice plate described herein does not require additional finishing and can directly interface with o-rings in an assembled regulator—without damaging the o-ring. That advantage further reduces part counts and manufacturing steps.
While the flow control device has been particularly shown and described with reference to particular embodiments, it will be understood that those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. For example, a flow control device made in accordance with the invention can be used in other gas or liquid flow devices.
These and all other equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the following claims.

Mapping the Chivas USA personnel philosophy will be work in progress, it seems.
Because on the one hand, new manager José Luis Sánchez Solá want to use the club to develop Mexican and Mexican-American talent, an Americanized version of the presiding philosophy that has always ruled Chivas USA’s mother ship, Chivas de Guadalajara.
But yesterday, Sanchez Sola seemed to zig rather than zag, naming American goalkeeper Dan Kennedy as his captain and his starter. We (along with everyone else) had speculated that Kennedy could be the next out of Chivas USA, and that some MLS club could surely grab the Goats steady ‘keeper at a bargain price.
Here’s what Sanchez Sola said over the weekend as Kennedy, nursing a minor hand injury, sat out an early preseason friendly.
At this time, he’s my captain. I need him more than anyone else.”
If today’s game was a league game, he’d be in goal. It was a practice game, so there’s no need to risk it. I decided that he wouldn’t be needed in goal.”

Roy Morgan State of the Nation Report 24 focuses on Australian Politics and the fortunes of the Coalition Government as it heads towards re-election at this year's Federal Election.
After just under two years of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the Coalition switched leaders in September 2015 and installed former Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull in the top job.
The date for this year's Federal Election was set early, as early as possible given the electoral laws and regulations, but an unusual Winter election awaits Australians on the first Saturday of July.
It hasn't all been smooth sailing for the Turnbull Govenrment, but does the Coalition team have what it takes to claim victory at this year's Federal Election and secure a second term?
Despite the troubles of the Rudd-Gillard Government of 2007-2010, it remains a fact that no Australian Government has been 'turfed out' after its first term of Government since the Great Depression in the early 1930s.
As we approach this year’s Federal Election the key issues facing the Government include unemployment and under-employment across Australia, the slowing Australian economy caused by the slowdown in China and the falling price of commodities including iron ore, coal and gas – Australia’s biggest exports, healthcare reforms, the Government’s proposed revamp of the education sector, the aging of Australia as highlighted by the Intergenerational Report, asylum seeker policy, and perhaps most prominently – extensive reform of Australia’s Taxation system.
In addition - the contentious policy in regards to the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) - has provided the trigger for the a Double Dissolution election - the first since the 1980s.
Will the decision to go the route of a Double Dissolution Election mean a re-elected Turnbull Government faces a Senate comprised of a myriad of cross-benchers? It'd have to be a significant possibility given the lower thresholds required to get elected to the Senate when 12 spots are up for grabs in each State rather than 6 at a traditional half-Senate Election.

” Judicial Watch reports that the Obama administration has turned over about 42,000 pages of documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal. The administration was forced to turn the documents over to Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Judicial Watch is posting them on its web site. The administration turned them over on November 18, 2014.
One of the documents provides smoking gun proof that the Obama White House and the Eric Holder Justice Department colluded to get CBS News to block reporter Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson was one of the few mainstream media reporters who paid any attention to the deadly gun-running scandal.
In an email dated October 4, 2011, Attorney General Holder’s top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, called Attkisson “out of control.” Schmaler told White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz that he intended to call CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer to get the network to stop Attkisson.
Schultz replied, “Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.”
Schultz also told Schmaler that he was working with reporter Susan Davis, then at the National Journal, to target Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA). Issa led the House investigation into Fast and Furious. Davis now works at USA Today. In the email chain, Schultz tells Schmaler that he would provide Davis with “leaks.”
Davis wrote a critical piece on Issa a few weeks later.
Attkisson was later subjected to hacking of her computer by people who remain unknown, but who likely belong to a government agency. She and CBS parted ways earlier in 2014, and Attkisson has since said that the network blocked her reports from airing.
Update: More about Schmaler here, here, here and here. “

” Judicial Watch has teamed with Victory Film Group and Stephen K. Bannon, the stalwart award-winning writer/director of “Occupy Unmasked” and “The Undefeated,” to produce a compelling documentary exposing the corruption that has snaked through the last three presidential administrations.
“District of Corruption,” which opened Friday in Phoenix at the AMC Desert Ridge 18, and is also playing at the AMC Lennox Town Center 24 in Columbus, Ohio, is produced in association with Constant Motion Entertainment. The film focuses on the enduring and epic battle Judicial Watch, the nation’s most powerful watchdog organization, has waged against government scandal, secrecy and corruption, with special emphasis on the constant scandals of the Obama Administration, including Operation Fast and Furious, illegal alien amnesty, election integrity, crony capitalism, and bailouts and Solyndra. “

“How high up did the weapons of Operation Fast and Furious go in the cartels? This high:
When Mexican authorities took Juarez drug cartel carnage king Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez — better known as “El Diego” — into custody, he had weapons from Operation Fast and Furious on his person, the English-language transcript of the Spanish-language television network Univision’s special investigation into the scandal shows.
“According to investigations, ‘El Diego’ forms the link between this massacre and Fast and Furious,” an anchor read on air in Spanish Sunday evening, referring to two different mass killings drug cartel operatives used Fast and Furious weapons to conduct as Univision reported.
“When he [El Diego] was captured in Chihuahua in the summer of 2011, he was found with weapons that the American government had allowed to enter Mexico,” the anchor added.
Supposedly, the point of the ATF/DoJ operation was to track the weapons so that they could find the movers and shakers in the Mexican drug cartels. Imagine what would have happened if the ATF actually had intended totrack the weapons and cooperate with the Mexican government, as the Bush administration did earlier in Operation Wide Receiver. The partnership might have caught El Diego a little sooner “
He should be in jail
“Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan agrees with presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s call for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign, or for President Barack Obama to fire him, over Operation Fast and Furious, a Ryan spokesman told The Daily Caller.
“The congressman agrees with the governor,” Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck told TheDC on Sunday, referring to Mitt Romney’s call for Holder’s resignation or termination over the gunwalking scandal last December.”
“Among other groups of Fast and Furious victim stories Univision says it will tell in the special to air Sunday evening at 7 p.m., is one about how “16 young people attending a party in a residential area of Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010″ were gunned down with weapons the Obama administration gave to drug cartel criminals through Fast and Furious.
“Univision News’ Investigative Unit was also able to identify additional guns that escaped the control of ATF agents and were used in different types of crimes throughout Mexico,” the network added. “Furthermore, some of these guns — none of which were reported by congressional investigators — were put in the hands of drug traffickers in Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. A person familiar with the recent congressional hearings called Univision’s findings ‘the holy grail’ that Congress had been searching for.”
A video preview published on Friday shows a number of the bodies of people killed with Fast and Furious weapons, as well as victims’ family members pleading with outgoing Mexican President Felipe Calderon for justice.”
“Officials opened the new Border Patrol Station in Naco during a ceremony on Tuesday in honor of Agent Brian Terry, who was shot and killed while on patrol near Rio Rico in December of 2010.”
” ‘Being ignorant of your department’s biggest scandal is no cause for relief’ “
“Andrew Cohen, a contributing editor at The Atlantic and legal analyst for CBS News’ “60
Minutes,” believes Attorney General
Eric Holder must resign following this week’s scathing report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, which sharply criticized the
administration’s handling of
Operation Fast and Furious.
“In the end, the much-heralded,
much-maligned Office of the
Inspector General’s report on the
‘Fast and Furious’ gun scandal tells us what we already know: Attorney
General Eric Holder should resign if
President Barack Obama wins
another term,” Cohen wrote in a
Friday column for The Atlantic. “
“Begun Under the Previous Administration”
“Asked about the Fast and Furious
program at the Univision forum on
Thursday, President Obama falsely
claimed that the program began
under President George W. Bush.
“I think it’s important for us to
understand that the Fast and
Furious program was a field-
initiated program begun under the
previous administration,” the
president said. “When Eric Holder
found out about it, he discontinued
“A report on the Department of Justice(DOJ)’s gun-walking scandal has resulted in two resignations and 12 employee referrals for discipline,.according to Politico.
The DOJ’s inspector general issued a
report that fingered 14 individuals for inappropriate handling of Operation Fast and Furious. Two of them, former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)Director Kenneth Melson and Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Jason Weinstein, resigned Wednesday.”
“Issa said the report went “up the chain to show what went wrong all the way to the very top of Justice,” revealing operational failures, mismanagement, and misleading statements from the Phoenix office of the ATF to the Attorney General’s inner circle. Issa was not satisfied with the resignation of Deputy
Assistant Attorney General Jason
Weinstein, saying that “certainly the
cover-up goes further.” Describing his visit with slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s family yesterday, Issa said the wanted answers about how the Operation Fast and Furious debacle was conceived and executed, but “they also want answers about the cover-up, where for ten months the American
people were told that they don’t let
guns ‘walk.’ Those false statements
came from Justice, all the way to the
very top, including Lanny Breuer, and ultimately Eric Holder.” “
“A president who has had a patchy first term now needs to make a convincing case for a second one”
“IN DENVER four years ago, an inspiring presidential candidate announced that he would change America. Barack Obama promised to put aside partisan differences, restore hope to those without jobs, begin the process of saving
the planet from global warming, and make America proud again.
Next week Mr Obama will address his fellow Democrats at their convention in Charlotte,
North Carolina, with little of this hopeful agenda completed. Three million more Americans are
out of work than four years ago, and the national debt is $5 trillion bigger.”
“Double-dipping: ATF ‘rewarding’ man who ran Operation Fast and Furious”
” One of the federal law enforcement officials that Congress regards as most responsible for
Operation Fast and Furious received extended paid leave from his government job, which allows him to draw a second salary working at JP Morgan.
The paid leave also allows McMahon to get a larger pension when he finally, officially, leaves
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.”
The DC Caller reports
” In a shocking development in the Operation Fast and Furious investigation, documents show Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents allowed grenade parts to walk in addition to guns.
The emails also show Obama administration officials acknowledging that they may lose track of grenades but would still be able to accomplish their original objective even if the grenades explode.
According to an internal email that was provided to Congress by the Department of Justice and first reported by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson — who’s been the media’s most dogged reporter in tracking down facts on Fast and Furious – ATF began watching accused smuggler Jean Baptiste Kingery’s AK-47 purchases in 2004. In the 2009 internal ATF email, Obama administration officials admitted they believed Kingery was “trafficking them into Mexico.” “
Just Unbelievable !!
What coarse men ,
“President Barack Obama maintains silence on the Brian A. Terry Memorial Act that passed the Democratic-controlled Senate unanimously on Tuesday evening. The Republican-controlled House passed it unanimously in December.
Drug cartel members used guns the Obama administration allowed to fall into their hands via Operation Fast and Furious to murder Terry, a Border Patrol agent, on Dec. 15, 2010.”
“Firearms connected to Operation Fast and Furious were used in the 2010 slaying of the brother of the former Chihuahua state attorney general, according to a U.S. congressional report.
The report said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives traced two of the weapons suspected in the murder of lawyer Mario González Rodríguez, but did not report this fact to the Mexican government until eight months after the tracing. ”
HT/ Cry and Howl
This is without doubt the biggest presidential scandal in my lifetime . Watergate , Iran-Contra , Monica Lewinski were embarrassing but no one died as a result . The dinosaur media bootlickers have shown to all where their loyalties lie . Not with truth telling but with advancing the chosen narrative .
“Gun-rights advocates say the numbers do not accurately reflect the true number of guns found in Mexico, which they argue is much higher. But instead, the ATF’s data reflect only the number of guns that were submitted for traces. Some gun advocates in the U.S. have argued further that Democrats try to use the inflated numbers to make their case for stricter gun laws.”
Is this a place that they really want to go ? This brazen attempt to revive the ” Mexico’s guns come from US ” meme only goes to show the confidence this administration has in it’s relationship with the Lame Stream Media . One would think that with the ‘Fast and Furious’ hearings still going that they would go out of their way to avoid this discussion at the present time .

Organoleptic and Microscopic Analysis of Gentiana Regeliana
Vikrant Arya*, Raneev Thakur
Organoleptic and microscopic examination revealed various diagnostic characters. Stem (dried, 30-40 cm long, light brown having characteristic odour with bitter taste and smooth texture), flower (dried, 3-5 cm long and crumpled, dark brown to blue in color having characteristic odour and bitter taste with smooth texture), leaf (dried, 7-8 cm long and broken, brownish green, characteristic odour, bitter in taste and smooth texture). The transverse section of the stem (hollow in between) of Gentiana regeliana Gand. showed presence of epidermal cell and abundant xylem vessels. Stomata arrangement was anisocytic and anomoctic with numerous non glandular trichomes on both surfaces. These findings should be expedient for inclusion in the Pharmacopoeia of Medicinal plants.

Sweet potato is a root crop favouring subtropical and tropical climes. White, orange and purple-fleshed cultivars are available. Carotenoids and anthocyanins cause pigmentation in orange and purple-coloured cultivars. The flavour and shelf-life of sweet potatoes are influenced by starch and sugar concentrations in the flesh. The optimum time to harvest sweet potato is when the roots have reached a desirable size, with smooth and firm skin. Irrigation is stopped a fortnight before harvest to allow the crop to dry.
Due to the sensitivity of the skin to mechanical injury, sweet potato needs to go through the curing process. This involves holding the roots at 25-32°C (77-90°F) under high relative humidity for up to a week.

Tobago Hotel and Tourism Association vice president Carol Ann Birchwood-James has said the Government's decision to reopen the construction sector will at least begin the process of reviving Tobago's economy.
The effects of the covid19 pandemic, which has been in existence for the past 16 months, continues to devastate Tobago's economy.
At a news conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's on Saturday, the Prime Minister said the country cannot continue to be on lockdown indefinitely and it is now at the phase where citizens must learn to live with the virus.
He said the construction sector will likely be reopened in the first week of July.
Dr Rowley said approximately 15,000 people in the sector have already been vaccinated.
Birchwood-James welcomed the news.
“That is very good news. Fifteen thousand people vaccinated, those are pretty good numbers given that we still have so much vaccine hesitancy,” she told Newsday. Birchwood-James said many people are on the breadline.
“Many of them do not have food and access to money because they are not working.”
She was also excited about the news of a possible reopening of the borders in mid July.
“It will not only be good news for us in the tourism sector for the members of the population who are still out there suffering and want to come home.
On the weekend's extended curfew, Birchwood-James said Labour Day and Father’s Day were two “wasted days.”
“If you are saying vaccination is our way out of this and not lockdown, it means then that we should have vaccinated throughout the weekend and we should have had a programme for tourism to encourage fathers to be vaccinated.
“That would have been our Father’s Day mantra – to get more people vaccinated because we have a limited number of vaccines.
“The sooner we do that, it would be the better for all of us.”
Birchwood-James said a significant number of workers in the tourism sector have already received their first shot of the Sinopharm vaccine.
Vaccinations for workers in the tourism and construction sectors in Tobago began last Thursday and Friday at the Magdalena Grand Beach and Golf Resort in Lowlands.
