Real-time measurement system for tracking birefringence, weight, thickness, and surface temperature during drying of solution cast coatings and films
This paper describes the design and performance of a new instrument to track temporal changes in physical parameters during the drying behavior of solutions, as well as curing of monomers. This real-time instrument follows in-plane and out-of-plane birefringence, weight, thickness, and surface temperature during the course of solidification of coatings and films through solvent evaporation and thermal or photocuring in a controlled atmosphere. It is specifically designed to simulate behavior of polymer solutions inside an industrial size, continuous roll-to-roll solution casting line and other coating operations where resins are subjected to ultraviolet (UV) curing from monomer precursors. Controlled processing parameters include air speed, temperature, initial cast thickness, and solute concentration, while measured parameters are thickness, weight, film temperature, in-plane and out-of-plane birefringence. In this paper, we illustrate the utility of this instrument with solution cast and dried poly (amide-imide)∕DMAc (Dimethylacetamide) solution, water based black paint, and organo-modified clay∕NMP (N-Methylpyrrolidone) solution. In addition, the physical changes that take place during UV photo polymerization of a monomer are tracked. This instrument is designed to be generic and it can be used for tracking any drying∕swelling∕solidification systems including paper, foodstuffs such as; grains, milk as well as pharmaceutical thin paste and slurries.

We love Washington State – the beautiful hiking is a side-effect of the large amounts of rainfall we have. My family came up for the weekend. We all piled into the car and drove an hour to Mt. Baker for some hiking (slipping and falling) in the snow.
This is me and my Dad, after hiking past an avalanche on Mt. Baker
Me, happy to be descending
My crazy husband swimming in a pond surrounded by snow!
My freezing husband shivering dry after his snow pond swim.
After the hike, we had a wonderful dinner at Milanos and took in a sold out Circus Show by the incredibly talented U & I Productions. We finished off a wonderful weekend by making beeswax candles. The Soap Queen blog will focus on our container candle trials this week.

Any amateur theatre company organized for at least one year prior to the state festival, which has produced at least two shows prior to the state festival entry, and is governed by a board from the community, is eligible to enter. A show entered in the festival may be a cutting of a full-length play or musical, a one-act play, or any performance of a theatrical nature. The total length of the play, including introductions, scene changes and curtain calls may not exceed 60 minutes. Each production is allowed a maximum time of 10 minutes for set-up and 10 minutes for strike (in addition to the 60 minute performance time) for a total of 80 minutes.
Because the NACT Festival is a part of the American Association of Community Theatre (AACT) Festival cycle. There are numerous festival rules that must be adhered to.

Dutch pianist Maxime Snaterse (1996) started playing piano at the age of nine, following lessons with Lena Markov and later Bella Tubejeva. Since she entered the ArtEZ University of the Arts in The Netherlands, Frank van de Laar has been her teacher. In 2018, she graduated cum laude from her Bachelor of Music and in 2020, she completed her Master of Music with the highest distinction. Recently, she obtained a second Master of Music degree with the highest result possible at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where she has been in the class of prof. Aleksandar Madžar.
Maxime participated in both national and international competitions, being awarded with several prizes, amongst others at the Prinses Christina Concours and Steinway Piano Competition. Besides that, she regularly gives recitals, both in her home country and abroad, as well as live-performances on the Dutch national radio broadcast for classical music. Other exciting experiences include participation in various summer courses such as the International Mozarteum Summeracademy Salzburg, the International Holland Music Sessions Bergen, and the Summer Campus Rostock. Maxime received masterclasses from well-known pianists, including André de Groote, Boris Berman, Pascal Devoyon, Bernd Goetzke, Lars Vogt, Claudius Tanski and Håkon Austbø. Maxime performed several times as a soloist with orchestra, a.o. with the ArtEZ Symphony Orchestra and the Amphion Collective, and besides playing with orchestra, she is an active chamber musician, being part of a duo with saxophone, a piano trio, and several liedduo’s. Also with her ensembles, she won several prizes, including first prize and audience prize at the ArtEZ Chamber Music Sessions and first and audience prize during the Vocallis Liedfestival. In 2017-2018, she has been part of the program Young Masters Wilp, an initiative that creates the opportunity for young talented musicians to give concerts and helps them in the process of becoming a cultural entrepreneur. Since 2022 she also performs for the lied assocation Vrienden van het Lied. Furthermore, Maxime engaged in exciting art projects, such as collaborations with other art disciplines; for example, in 2020 she performed ‘Graven’ together with actor Greg Nottrot, a music theatre performance in collaboration with the Nieuw Utrechts Toneel.
Maxime is active, eager to learn and has a wide range of interests. Therefore, she followed amongst others the ArtEZ Honours Programme as an addition to her bachelor programme in 2015-2016. In the same year, she was co-organiser of the Britten Violin Concours. Next to her music studies and activities, Maxime started with the Bachelor Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Twente in 2016-2017 (graduated in 2019) and in 2020 she graduated Cum Laude for the Master Business Administration. She is currently active as a piano teacher at various academies in Brussels. In the first place, however, Maxime is an ambitious and enthusiastic pianist that wishes to share her fascination for classical music with her audience.

|i would like to plant summer bulbs for the shade. any suggestions? i live in brooklyn ny|
|Contrary to popular belief, many bulbs thrive in shade. Achimenes, a terrific groundcover that comes in blue, pink, pure white, salmon, and a mixture of all colors, blooms throughout the summer as long as you keep it moist. Bletilla, an easy shade-tolerant bulb in the orchid family, comes in magenta or white and stands about 12 inches tall. Caladium hybrids bring light and color into shady locations with their large, brightly colored leaves. White, green, pink, and red caladiums make excellent companions with hostas, ferns, coleus, impatiens, astilbes, and any other shade-loving groundcovers. Scadoxus also performs happily in partial shade, with dramatic masses of tiny bright red florets in softball-sized flowers on 8- to 10-inch stems.
To give your garden a tropical feel, try elephant ears, Alocasia or Colocasia. With their large, often darkly veined or mottled leaves?upright in Alocasia and facing out or down in Colocasia?they provide drama and structure. Sauromatum venosum is right at home in a shady jungle garden. Its large, 1- to 2-foot finger-like leaves on purple mottled 2- to 3-inch stems will look stunning behind caladiums or in front of colocasias and hedychiums.
Sun-loving plants with great foliage will produce fewer blooms in the shade, but their foliage alone can add a lot of interest. Canna 'Striata' ('Pretoria') grows best in full sun and may not bloom as well in partial shade; but who cares about those orange blossoms when you can have the terrific yellow and green striped foliage in the shade garden!

We recently met and interviewed the wonderful singer, Charice, in Manhattan. She just released her self-titled debut album. It was very exciting to meet her!
Her full name is Charice Pempengco and she is from the Philippines. Charice was discovered a few years ago after her friend posted her “Filipino Idol” audition video on YouTube.com. She has appeared twice on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” during the past two years. After those appearances, Charice has met and worked with some very famous musicians, including Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and her producer, David Foster.
Charice was very friendly and she had many great answers for all of our questions.
She told us that she had recently bought a house and a car for her mom. When we asked her about her performance in the recent movie, “Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel,” she also surprisingly gave us her wonderful imitation of the three chipmunks – she sounded just like them!
Before our time with Charice was over, she sang her new song, “Pyramid,” for us. Then Charice sang and played the guitar to the song, “Baby,” by Justin Bieber and she asked us to sing along with her. That was fantastic!
We loved meeting and interviewing Charice because she was very friendly and she has a great personality. She is so talented. Her new CD is fantastic! You should listen to it and you will love it, too.

GOTO Climate action summit - Al Gore, Former US Vice President keynote speaker
Former US Vice President Al Gore joins our GOTO Climate Action summit
Al Gore pushed the issue of the climate crisis to the front of the global dialogue. His documentary and bestseller An Inconvenient Truth delivered a powerful warning about the threat of environmental catastrophe. In 2007, Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for 'informing the world of the dangers posed by climate change.'
As the world deals with the consequences of another looming but long-ignored threat, the 45th vice-president of the US returned to Oxford, virtually, to argue that we must seize the opportunity to transform the global economy.
Gore is the co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management, and the founder and chairman of The Climate Reality Project, a nonprofit devoted to solving the climate crisis. He is also a senior partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and a member of Apple Inc.’s board of directors.
Al Gore told students that a 'sustainability revolution' offers the greatest opportunity to create new jobs in the history of the world - with the magnitude of the industrial revolution, yet the speed of the digital revolution.
Mr Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of climate change, said that the 'exponential cost reduction curve' seen in consumer devices like mobile phones can now be applied to sustainable technologies such as solar panels. This shift is challenging the dominance of fossil fuels, and could see hundreds of millions of jobs created to retrofit the equipment into buildings, he said.
Mr Gore spoke as climate change is again brought into sharp focus, due to parallels with the Covid-19 crisis. Studies show that air pollution causes almost 9 million people to die every year, and is correlated with higher death rates from Covid-19. Across both crises, lives could have been saved had society listened to evidence from experts including scientists and doctors, said Mr Gore. Both crises have highlighted societal inequalities and discrimination which must be addressed. Businesses must now consider their impact on society, instead of focusing on short-term gains, he said.
But Mr Gore remained optimistic. Recognising the legacy and position of Oxford and its business school, he issued a rallying call for students to help tackle the climate crisis, which challenges the viability of human civilisation.
As part of the session, four MBA students posed questions direct to Mr Gore about climate change, responsible investment, and sustainability.
In thanks, Peter Tufano, Dean of Saïd Business School said that one of the scarcest resources that the world needs today is the strong, principled and evidence-based leadership Gore has showed through his entire lifetime.
To close the session – part of the Leadership in Extraordinary Times series, a panel of academics revealed winners of the Oxford MBA's GOTO programme – which saw 500 students from 60 countries compete for £10,000 in cash prizes by devising systematic solutions to address climate change.
Overall winners were Hemp – who presented ideas for a 'closed loop' fashion supply chain, to encourage use of sustainable materials. Runners up were Behsalal Gambia – who suggested ways to encourage use of renewable energy.

Sunlight Readable Lcd – Picking and obtaining a TV was considerably less demanding even a couple of years back. Be that as it may, things have changed with the progression of time and headway of innovation. In this way, at whatever point you will consider acquiring another TV, you should consider all the accessible option advancements, for example, Plasma TV, LCD TV, LED TV and Smart TV. Your decision may fluctuate contingent upon various necessities and prerequisites. Despite the fact that every one of these advances has been enhanced fundamentally after some time and there are next to no recognizable drawbacks, still you have to know the essential contrasts among these innovations so you can choose yourself which one is the most fitting TV for you. In this way, here are what every one of these innovations are –
Plasma TV is an ideal choice for you on the off chance that you want to sit in front of the TV in darker condition or for the most part around evening time. This is because amid dim scenes the pixels of plasma show effectively get killed (totally). These pixels can likewise more profound the dark levels of the show contrasted with some other show advancements, for example, LCD. In this way, wealthier hues, fabulous surface pictures and profundity of the picture are ensured with plasma show. Plasma show accompanies shading phosphors and self-lighting innovation (emissive show innovation) which guarantee the consistency of lighting in plasma show.
Plasma TV doesn’t have backdrop illumination as it uses an innovation that changes an individual cell’s shine to make the photos. One downside of plasma TV is that it isn’t vitality proficient contrasted with LCD and different showcases. Plasma TVs are likewise perfect for gaming and games as they have a revive rate of 600Hz to guarantee smooth movement control. Plasma TVs begin from 42” and go up from that point while the heaviness of a 50” plasma TV is for the most part underneath 100 pounds.
Another developing class of TV is otherwise known as 4K Ultra HD TV. On the off chance that you are extremely anticipating get a most recent TV with all new ultra-present day innovations then this Ultra HD TV can be the answer for you. The term ‘4K’ alludes to the determination of this HD TV (3840 x 2160 or 4196 x 2160) which is right around four times the present determination (1080 x 1920). Picture quality has been enhanced observably in bigger screens because of such enormous change in determination. In any case, there is no effect of this refreshed determination on movement slack specifically. In any case, the issue you should remember is that however number of business theaters are demonstrating 4K-quality pictures, still, this innovation isn’t that much accessible for household use particularly in standard 55” – 65” show sizes. In this way, this can be an important alternative just on the off chance that you are considering an option that is greater than the standard.
SUNUL.COM is the global LCD module display manufacturer since 2008, we have a full production line for TFT LCD, sunlight readable and stretched resizing LCD modules & Monitors.
One of the greatest transformations in Television innovation is Smart TV. Much the same as an advanced mobile phone a savvy TV can likewise give various web associated administrations which are impractical to serve by some other TV. Savvy TV can get associated with the web to run some cool highlights like spilling music and video, running distinctive excitement applications, web-based diversions, web perusing et cetera. The present most TVs (Smart TVs) accompany worked in Wi-Fi network and Ethernet to make it conceivable to get to the web easily. On the off chance that you adore watching spilling substance on the web at that point Smart TV can be your best buddy. Some of these TVs additionally have USB ports and DVI input include that let you use your TV as a monitor of your PC. Memory card openings additionally let you see your pictures and substance straightforwardly from your telephone or camera memory. Another extraordinary component of brilliant TV is DLNA which gives you a chance to stream recordings and media straightforwardly from your cell phone or PC. Along these lines, you never again need to duplicate every one of those media records to a USB circle or memory card to play by means of the TV screen. You can likewise get associated with your loved ones utilizing applications like Skype through keen TV yet all things considered you will be expected to introduce a webcam with the TV. As the accessibility and openness of web instill on the ascent, the chance is there that an ever-increasing number of models and highlight rich Smart TVs will be accessible in the market is not so distant future.
The show innovation of LED TV is just the same old thing new as it is only a redesign of typical LCD show. Disarray emerges because TV producers showcase this redesign LCD TV (LED illuminated) as a different substance named as LED TV. In any case, still, there are exceptional contrasts between the customary LCD TVs and the present LED TVs as far as value, utilization and review understanding. Some call it LED LCD TVs moreover.
The primary contrast between an LCD and LED show lies in the illuminated innovation. LCD TVs accompany a lighting technique known as CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light) while the most recent LED TV boards accompany ‘Light Diodes’ innovation to illuminate the show. As a wellspring of show light LED has been turned out to be better as it gives more control over diminishing and lighting the pictures. LED is additionally perfect regarding vitality utilization as it uses minimum vitality contrasted with all other level board show advances accessible out there in the market.
LED TVs return with two diverse lit arrangements known as Edge-Lit and Full-Array Backlit. With full-exhibit illuminated innovation LED TVs create exact brilliance and difference, wealthier shading immersion and more profound dark levels which can be effectively contrasted with Plasma TVs as far as general picture quality. With Edge-Lit innovation the LED lights are set around the edges of the show, not simply behind the pixels which have made it conceivable to configuration significantly more slender models of LED TVs.
In this way, these were a definitive 4 classes of the TV which you should consider before settling on your last buying choice. In the meantime, you ought to likewise remember a few components like when, where and how frequently you stare at the TV generally. In this way, get your work done legitimately and discover the most suitable TV for you.


New LEED-certified building meets economy goals.
LEED Certified: The roof color helped achieve certification by minimizing the heat island effect.
Mezzanine Level: The extra space is used for storage and ventilation equipment.
Lower Lighting Costs: The daylighting system adds natural light and fit within the project’s budget when other options did not.
This famous quote perfectly describes the Western Pennsylvania Operating Engineers (WPOE) Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program. Combining classroom instruction, hands-on training and on-the-job experience, the program teaches valuable skills to heavy equipment operators and mechanics.
After more than 40 years at its New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, location, the nonprofit WPOE Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program outgrew its existing facilities a few years ago. A new 32,800-square-foot Butler® building now provides ample, and cost-effective, space to meet growing demand for training.
Situated on 228 acres about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh, the training site has plenty of land for students to practice operating heavy equipment — ranging from skid steers and forklifts to bulldozers and cranes. But, the repair shop and classrooms were pinched for space.
“About 75 percent of our training is for apprentices who are new to the industry, and 25 percent provides continuing education for journeyman operators. With demand for journeymen training increasing every year, we needed more capacity,” explained Steve Columbus, administrative manager for the WPOE Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program.
Mascaro Construction Company, a Butler Builder® in nearby Pittsburgh, was an ideal choice to partner with WPOE on the project. The company had previously renovated an existing building to serve as headquarters for the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 66, whose 7,000 members benefit from the training center in New Alexandria.
“The goal was to build a first-class training facility with the flexibility to accommodate classroom and hands-on training space,” said Ed Swiatek, project manager at Mascaro Construction. Another goal for the WPOE was to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. And like most design-build projects, budget was a factor, too.
“The goal was to build a first-class training facility with the flexibility to accommodate classroom and hands-on training space.”
Ed Swiatek, Mascaro Construction
Butler systems helped achieve all these objectives with an economical design that is also highly energy efficient.
The completed LEED-certified facility includes an 80-foot-wide, 16,800-square-foot maintenance training shop with four drive through bays instead of only one, like in the previous building. The shop also incorporates eight welding booths, an equipment welding bay and a machining area. A mezzanine above the shop floor provides space for storage, and heating and ventilation equipment.
The Widespan™ structural system from Butler made possible the 80-foot clearspan area and 33-foot ceiling height needed to bring massive equipment into the shop for maintenance and training. The shop houses a vehicle lift and a 10-ton overhead crane that moves the full length of the building on rails to help students perform equipment repairs.
“Hands down, Widespan was the most efficient and cost-effective way to accomplish a column-free area large enough to accommodate the size of the equipment,” said Anthony Pitassi, AIA, LEED AP, with architectural firm Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel in Pittsburgh.
A separate classroom and administrative wing attached to the shop totals 12,900 square feet, replacing several outdated modular classrooms. Engineering support from Butler Manufacturing™ helped the construction team design retractable walls, so spaces can be configured for different class sizes. Flexibility is a must with anywhere from 25 to 150 students in the training facility at any one time.
Together, the shop and classroom wings form an angled design that makes efficient use of the site’s natural topography, as well as the area’s prevailing winds.
“The shop was previously oriented in exactly the wrong direction related to the prevailing wind patterns. With dirt constantly being moved outside the facility during equipment operator training, dust control was a big problem,” Pitassi explained. “By orienting the shop perpendicular to the prevailing winds, we were able to control the dust problem.”
Bringing two parts of a building together on an angle was a challenge, especially with different roof lines, but it was one that the Butler systems were up to.
Although the maintenance area used the Widespan structural system, the classroom wing incorporated conventional framing with steel members. But, the two areas of the building blend seamlessly since the Shadowall™ wall system from Butler covers the exterior. The exterior walls’ Cool Marsh Green color fits the rural western Pennsylvania surroundings.
Both building wings are covered with the MR-24® roof system from Butler. The standing-seam roof provides durable, efficient and low-maintenance protection from the elements. Added insulation creates an R-30 energy value, which is beneficial during both hot summers and cold winters.
The MR-24 roof system color — Cool Solar White — contributed to the building’s LEED certification by helping to lower roof temperatures. The coating color brought the solar reflective index needed to get LEED credit for mitigating heat islands on the roof.
The original design for the training facility called for a continuous ridge skylight and clerestory to bring natural light and ventilation into the maintenance areas. Unfortunately, clerestory costs didn’t fit the construction budget.
“The SunLite Strip daylighting system is a great solution to provide economical daylighting. Many people comment on how bright the shop is.”
Steve Columbus, Western Pennsylvania Operating Engineers
The SunLite Strip® daylighting system proved to be a cost-effective and energy-saving alternative. The SunLite Strip daylighting system relies on prismatic acrylic-domed technology to bring in three times the amount of light earlier and later in the day compared with translucent panels. By integrating with the MR-24 roof system, the SunLite Strip daylighting system is weathertight to avoid leakage issues that are common with conventional skylights. Best of all, by reducing lighting costs, the system contributed to the project’s LEED certification.
The WPOE Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program is an example of a successful team effort between Butler Manufacturing™, the construction company, the architect and the customer.
“We delivered great value as far as safety, quality, owner satisfaction and scheduling. We were able to build the project safely, within the budget and on time, so the operating engineers were able to move in
to their training facility on schedule,” Swiatek said.
SunLite Strip® has been further enhanced since this project was completed.

When Americans think about nuclear weapons, they comfort themselves with the thought that these weapons’ vast destruction of human life has not taken place since 1945 – at least not yet. But, in reality, it has taken place, with shocking levels of U.S. casualties. This point is borne out by a recently-published study by a team of investigative journalists at McClatchy News. Drawing upon millions of government records and large numbers of interviews, they concluded that employment in the nation’s nuclear weapons plants since 1945 led to 107,394 American workers contracting cancer and other serious diseases. Of these people, some 53,000 judged by government officials to have experienced excessive radiation on the job received $12 billion in compensation under the federal government’s Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program. And 33,480 of these workers have died.

The brother duo out of Orange County, NY, known as Conceptz, is back with a new single, “Drippin And Drownin.” Established in 2012, Conceptz has already amassed a resume that would make most artists envious by comparison. Having played their first show at the after party of a major awards ceremony, to having their music used by the NFL, NBA, and MLB, Conceptz is not at a loss to boast. And boasting is something they do well, as you will hear on “Drippin And Drownin,” and all of their music, for that matter. Putting themselves over, has become something of a signature for Conceptz.
As the music industry becomes more and more driven by streaming, you see artists preferring to release singles, as opposed to the traditional album. In Conceptz case, they have existed for 9 years, without releasing either an EP or Full Length LP. It’s hard to argue their strategy, as it’s proven to be legitimately successful. Their trajectory has been cultivated, by allowing their fans to focus on an individual release, as opposed to several tracks, simultaneously. It’s also likely allowed them to concentrate on the quality of a song, without the added stress of a heavier workload.
“Drippin And Drownin,” fittingly opens with the sound effect of a dripping faucet and subsequent splashing. More interestingly, though, the opening has something of a Central European feel, with what can only be described as a theremin. The chorus kicks things off, lyrically, until HighRowGlyphFix, launches into his inhuman delivery of around 70 syllables per second. HighRowGlyphFix, handles the mic duties for Conceptz, as his brother, Short Fuze, takes care of the production/composing/mixing. The former has to be considered one of the best rappers in the game at this point.
Conceptz is actually self-described as Trap, and then Hip Hop as a secondary genre. Trap is certainly represented, but if you’re going to describe Conceptz to someone who has never heard them, Hip Hop is a more suitable categorization. There is a hypnotic element to what they do, and that is never more apparent than on “Drippin And Drownin.” You’ll want to listen to the song, again and again, if for no other reason than to hear the theremin like effect. This is where Short Fuze, really shines, in the fine touches that make the piece feel more personalized.
The kid is Drippin like an icicle/impossible/it’s cyclical/unstoppable.
If you check out Conceptz YouTube channel, you’ll see that they always add an accapella version of their songs. I strongly encourage you to check these out, as it proves just how impressive HighRowGlyphFix, skills are. His dexterity is exclusive to a rare few in the entire history of the genre. It will be an injustice if his name isn’t one day mentioned in the same breath as some of the all-time greats.
You really reach to find something critical to say in these reviews, as to not gush all over something. Conceptz does not make that easy, though. Though not perfect, their music; the performances and the production, are extremely short on flaws. They are hyper focused, and clearly intent on world domination. It’s going to be interesting to see exactly what context we are discussing Conceptz in, a year from now.

BISHKEK, January 30 (Itar-Tass) — Protesters have staged a picket near the U.S. Embassy to demand the withdrawal of the U.S. air base from Kyrgyzstan.
About 25 people warned that if their demands would not be satisfied, they would block the motor road to the base. According to protesters, fuel, which was thrown by American military planes, causes irreparable damage to agricultural fields near the air base. Damage amounts to several hundreds of thousands U.S. dollars every year.
This problem was raised at a session of the parliament’s committee for foreign affairs. Deputy Tursunbai Bakir uulu demanded the term of closing this facility should be specified. Earlier, Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev said the agreement on the stay of the U.S. air base would expire in 2014. Kyrgyzstan does not intend to extend this agreement, the president said.
As an alternative he called for creating a centre for transit of civil cargoes in cooperation with Russia and Turkey.
The air base was opened by the international anti-terrorist coalition at Bishkek’s airport of Manas in December 2001. The base operates within the U.S. operation in Afghanistan – Enduring Freedom. On the initial stage servicemen and hardware of several members-countries of the coalition were deployed in Manas. But in recent years the U.S. Air Force units are the core of the group deployed in Kyrgyzstan. In 2009 former president Kurmanbek Bakiyev said he intended to withdraw the base. But after long consultations with Washington the base remained intact and was just renamed into a transit centre.


COLUMBUS -- This is the time of year that many high school and college students are stressed out over final exams, graduation and sports.
Unfortunately, many are turning to misusing prescription drugs.
A new national study found that one in four teens has misused prescription drugs in their lifetime, that's up 33 percent over the past five years.
Not only that but one in eight teens admitted to using Ritalin or Adderall to improve their performance. Those drugs are usually prescribed for ADHD.
We found many local college students saying that it's not uncommon to hear of Adderall or Ritalin abuse.
Judy Stenta, from Bellefaire JCB SAY Program, which does youth risk surveys, says it's starting at an earlier age.
"We often hear that they want to be number one in academics, sports or going to the best college and they want to perform at a high level," says Stenta.

Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus among Farmed Pigs, Ukraine
An outbreak of porcine epidemic diarrhea occurred in the summer of 2014 in Ukraine, severely affecting piglets <10 days of age; the mortality rate approached 100%. Full genome sequencing showed the virus to be closely related to strains reported from North America, showing a sequence identity of up to 99.8%.
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), caused by PED virus (PEDV) was first recognized in the United Kingdom in 1971 (1). Since then, outbreaks of PED have been documented in several European and Asian countries (2). PED has been reported in China since the 1980s; however, in October 2010, more virulent strains of PEDV emerged there, causing high fatality rates among suckling piglets (3). Since May 2013, similar virulent PEDV strains have been reported in the Unites States (4), and a report from Ohio indicated a second incursion into the USA by a slightly different PEDV strain (USA/OH851/2014, GenBank accession no. KJ399978), characterized by focal deletions in the S gene (5). PEDV was subsequently reported from Mexico (6), Canada (7), and other countries in the Americas (Technical Appendix).
In May 2014, an outbreak of PED among pigs in the finishing stage of growth was reported in Germany and associated with a PEDV strain very similar to the OH851 variant of PEDV (8). Reports also indicate the presence of this PEDV variant in other European countries, including the Netherlands (9), Italy (10), and Spain (11). We investigated an outbreak of PED that occurred during the summer of 2014 in central Ukraine to determine the causative PEDV strain.
The outbreak occurred at a large, indoor, 5,000-sow farm in the Poltava region of Ukraine where 240 sows per week were kept to give birth, which is referred to as farrowing on porcine farms.
Clinical signs were first seen in a farrowing sow that was vomiting and had profuse diarrhea 10 days postfarrowing. Within hours, her piglets began to vomit and show profuse watery diarrhea. Vomiting and diarrhea then spread throughout the farrowing area. Disease was most severe among piglets <10 days of age; the case-fatality rate reached nearly 100%. The decision was made to euthanize piglets <10 days of age during a 3-week period from the start of the outbreak. Piglets >10 days old became sick, but most (95%) survived. Disease was less severe in adults, whose appetite returned and diarrhea ceased within 3 days.
Abortions occurred immediately following the outbreak in 38% of 1 batch of sows that were at 28–35 days’ gestation; no diagnostic investigation was made to determine the cause. It was not established whether they were a result of the PED outbreak or control methods such as “back-feeding” fecal material to piglets. Abortions did not occur in other groups of sows and have not been reported as a feature of PED outbreaks in North America. The reproductive status of sows at other stages of gestation was not substantially affected by the initial PED outbreak, and no higher return rate was observed. Postpartum sows did not fail to produce milk, but those affected by PEDV had a reduced feed intake and associated reduced milk output.
The performance of the pig unit took 20 weeks to return to preoutbreak levels. During that time, a total of 30,000 piglets died, which equates to a loss of 6 weaned piglets per sow per year.
The outbreak was controlled by a combination of 2 methods. Lactogenic immunity enhancement was initiated by deliberate reexposure of pregnant sows to infected piglet feces 6 weeks before farrowing. The environmental viral load was reduced by cleaning and disinfection of the area, euthanizing of neonatal piglets, and reduction of transmission by humans and other vectors through enhanced internal biosecurity.
A diagnosis of PED was made after clinical and postmortem examination of affected piglets. We tested them onsite using a lateral flow device, Antigen Rapid PED/TGE Ag Test Kit (Bionote, Hwasung-si, Korea), which indicated the presence of PEDV antigen in the feces. We confirmed these findings at the UK Animal and Plant Health Agency using an in-house PEDV PCR and a commercially available PEDV/transmissible gastroenteritis virus quantitative reverse transcription-PCR kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). A BLAST search (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) of the 160-nt PCR amplicon revealed the highest similarity (99%) to PEDV strains from the United States and China. PEDV RNA was then subjected to deoxyribonuclease I digestion and converted to cDNA for preparation of sequencing libraries by using a Nextera XT kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Paired-end sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq. The consensus sequence was obtained by de novo assembly by using the Velvet 1.2.10 algorithm (12) of the sequence reads that mapped to the reference strain (GenBank accession no. NC003426).
The PEDV Ukraine/Poltava01/2014 strain genome (GenBank accession no. KP403954) is 27823 nt (excluding the 3′ poly A tail). Nucleotide analyses of the full genome of the virus showed the highest similarity to PEDV strains reported in 2013 from the United States; specifically, strains USA/Kansas29/2013 (GenBank accession no. KJ645637.1) and USA/Colorado30/2013 (GenBank accession no. KJ645638.1), with 99.8% nucleotide identity. The nucleotide identity was substantially lower (98.5%) when compared to those of the 2014 strains isolated in Germany, which are similar to another strain isolated in North America, Ohio851/2013 (8). Accordingly, the Ukraine virus clustered phylogenetically with PEDV strains from North America in genetic clade II (6) but was distinct from strains currently and previously found elsewhere in Europe, such as the prototype PEDV strain CV777, with which it shares only 96.5% homology (Figure ). However, the genetic analysis does not, at this stage, support drawing conclusions regarding the relative pathogenicity of this apparently virulent PEDV strain, similar to past instances of PEDV in Europe, of which very few have been characterized; parallel experimental infection of pigs would be required for further investigation.
The farm was found to be free from Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, mange, toxigenic Pasteurella multocida, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, transmissible gastroenteritis virus, Aujeszky’s Disease virus, and classical and African swine fever viruses. Persons on the farm practiced strict biosecurity measures to maintain a specific pathogen free status. No breach in biosecurity could be identified after a review of potential PEDV introduction routes involving pigs or humans or vehicles, equipment, and other fomites; the source of infection remains unknown. However, there were reports of a PED-affected pig farm 1.5 km from this unit, and the potential for unidentified fomite or other transmission from this herd, or another undisclosed infected herd, therefore existed. Windborne transmission has been suggested to explain some outbreaks in the United States (14) and is another possibility to consider in this case.
This PED outbreak in Ukraine showed clinical characteristics similar to outbreaks caused by virulent strains of PEDV reported from North America (4). The virus clusters phylogenetically with viruses from recent outbreaks in the United States and Mexico (6). The presence of such a PEDV strain in Ukraine highlights the threat to neighboring countries and those in the European Union where PEDV has not been detected (e.g., Scandinavia) or has not caused disease in recent decades (e.g., the United Kingdom) and where pig herds are considered largely naive to PEDV. Furthermore, pig farming has changed over recent decades, and the establishment of more large holdings would produce more virus following introduction of PEDV.
This outbreak emphasizes the need for decision-makers of countries, pig farms, and allied industries to implement and maintain biosecurity measures to minimize the risk for spread of PEDV to new areas. Early detection of suspected clinical signs on pig farms and, when these occur, prompt testing for PEDV by PCR are also vital (15). A coordinated approach is essential to prevent introduction of PEDV, promote early detection should introduction occur, control disease, and minimize spread of infection.

THE beauty and emotion of Tohby Riddle’s Australian picture book Nobody Owns the Moon was the reason Spare Parts Puppet Theatre director and writer Michael Barlow wanted to create a stage adaptation for the Fremantle-based puppetry company.
“I was really drawn to the quite emotional core of the story,” Barlow said.
“It has something meaningful to say about what makes someone feel at home somewhere and what makes them feel part of the life of a place.
“And it has Tohby’s lovely wit and comedy which we’ve used as a springboard; I hope it will bring a lot of laughs to the audience.”
The production, using hand puppets, marionettes and masks, follows two animal character friends, Humphrey (donkey) and Clive (fox), living in a big city.
Humphrey, who is a bit down on his luck, receives an invitation to a night at the theatre through an act of chance and he and Clive have a wonderful experience.
“There’s an idea in the story about what’s really valuable; Humphrey gives his warmth and friendship very freely,” Barlow said.
“He doesn’t really take anything from anyone but by some measures we would look at him and say he’s not successful because he doesn’t have a steady job or big income, but he does have a very big heart.”
The production, for ages five years and older, features performers Yvan Karlsson, Geoff Kelso, Jessica Lewis and Shirley Van Sanden and was co-created with Spare Parts legend Noriko Nishimoto before she died in May.
The 75-year-old Japanese-born puppeteer had called WA and Spare Parts home since 1982 and her influence on Barlow and the rest of the company was immense.
Nobody Owns the Moon was the last production Nishimoto worked on.
“Her input to the show was massive and if she had still been with us through the later stages of making it, she would have continued to influence its shape,” Barlow said.
“We all miss her presence and contribution; I hope the work does justice to her.
“I’d worked with Noriko for many years, first as a trainee puppeteer and then later as an assistant director and co-devisor, and in more recent years she mentored my development as a director.
“I can only say it was a massive pleasure to work with such a gifted artist and there are many of us who would lay a lot of thanks at her feet for what she achieved in the art form.”
What: Nobody Owns the Moon
Where: Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, 1 Short St, Fremantle
When: September 24 to October 8

3” AA Equipments
These equipments were introduced during the Great War and were the standard HAA equipment untl the issue of mobile 3.7” equipments. The equipments had a high rate of fire and quick traverse but due to the improvement of aircraft performance by the Second War, were no longer adequate in terms of effective ceiling and muzzle velocity. At the start of the Second War, many were still employed in both HAA and LAA roles (including AA batteries H9, H10 and H12 in Suffolk). They were finally withdrawn from service in 1943.
Effective ceiling against a bomber travelling at 400 mph directly approaching which could be engaged for a period of 20 seconds, using Predictors Nos 1, 2 or 5, was 15,700 ft.
Lethal radius of burst:
Category A* damage: 45 ft
Category B** damage: 30 ft
Rate of fire: 20 to 25 rounds per minute
Gun detachment: normally 9 men
Right: Static 3" HAA Gun
3.7” AA Equipments
This equipment was introduced in 1937 and originally planned for a mobile employment in GDA’s and also with Field Forces. A static mounting was introduced in 1939 due to a bottleneck in the production of mobile platforms. Many improvements were made during the war, most notably automatic fuse setting and loading gear which doubled the rate of fire. When deployed in a HAA role, four guns were normally sited round a command post, containing the fire control instruments.
The guns had slow rates of traverse and elevation which made it difficult to bring fire on close aircraft. The mobile equipment could also be effectively employed in an anti-tank role – arrangements were made to do this for Home Defence in 1941 (Bargain Scheme).
Effective ceiling against a bomber travelling at 400 mph directly approaching which could be engaged for a period of 20 seconds depended upon the type of fuse, type of projector or the method of fire control:
Lethal radius of burst:
Category A damage: 55ft
Category B damage: 35 ft
Rate of fire:
With M.F.S No.9 and hand loading – 8 to 10 rounds per minute
With M.F.S No.11 and automatic gear – 23 to 25 rounds per minute
With M.F.S No. 11A and automatic gear – 20 rounds per minute
Gun detachment: 9 men with each mobile equipment or between 7 to 11 men with each static equipment (depended upon type of mounting).
Above: Top left: Static 3.7" HAA Gun. Bottom left: Mobile 3.7" Gun.
Right: Static 3.7" on Metrovick mounting.
5.25” AA Equipments
Naval twin equipments were issued for land service in 1942. Subsequently two types of single gun equipments were designed for land service – one design for an AA role only and one for twin Coastal Artillery / AA role. The gun designed for AA role only was fitted with an open back mild steel shield. Four guns were sited together adjacent to a command post. The guns featured electric firing, air blast gear, hydraulic power operated traversing, elevating, loading tray and ramming gears. Only 31 AA sites were started or completed by November 1945 which included H2 in the Harwich GDA.
The effective ceiling was limited by the type of fuse and predictor or method of fire control employed. The maximum heights at which a 400 mph directly approaching aircraft could be engaged for a period of 20 seconds was:
Lethal radius of burst:
Category A damage: 100ft
Category B damage: 70 ft
Rate of fire – 7 to 10 rounds per minute
Gun detachment: 13 men
Right: 5.25" HAA Gun on Metrovick mounting.
Z AA Equipments
A 3” rocket projector (known as Z Anti-aircraft equipments) were first developed operationally during 1940 for the protection of vulnerable points on the South coast against dive bombing attacks. A single projector was produced for this purpose. As more light AA guns became available, Z AA equipments role changed from LAA to HAA defence. In a HAA role a large number of 3” rocket projectors, usually 64 twin equipments, were sited close together with their fire controlled by telephone form a plotting and control post.
Each rocket consisted of a tail unit with four fins, H.E shell and a time fuze. The rocket was launched from the rails of the projector at a velocity of 200 ft per second and accelerated whilst propellant was still in the tail to a maximum velocity of 1,500 ft per second. Fins fitted to the tail ensured stability in flight. Surface wind and air currents caused a variable dispersion from the normal trajectory and it was for this reason that high density fire was essential. They could obtain a range of 19,000 ft or a ground range of 7,000 yards.
Right: Mobile nine rocket Z projector
Other guns in use in an AA role were 4.5” statics based on a Naval design and 3.7” High Velocity Equipments (basically a 4.5” gun which has a special 65-calibre 3.7 inch barrel fitted in its jacket) but documentary evidence suggest neither of these equipments were employed in Suffolk.
* Category A damage = prevention of accurate bombing
** Category B damage = failure of aircraft to return to base

Rob Hofmann tells us about his experience at the SEVERNE/STARBOARD Center on Fuerteventura.
“In 2019 I went back for the sixth time to hold my Windsurfing Clinic in Fuerteventura at the Rene Egli Windsurfing Center. The nearby Hotel Melia (only 200m walking distance) makes this location the perfect place for my clinics. This year I was particularly excited because it’s now a Severne Center, and I am very confident with the Severne gear. My group is the biggest group visiting the Rene Egli Center with 30 students, and the center is so well equipped that there is enough gear for everybody!
Once again our clinic was blessed with seven days of great winds from 15 to 35 knots all week. The first days we had more northerly winds that gave us flat water conditions. The rest of the week the north-east trade winds made it a hard playground for my students. During some hours of the day (depends on the tide) also the swell was quite consistent. That gave my students the possibility to get some first wave experiences. Actually, we had some really nice waves.
Everybody thinks that Sotavento is only a flat water spot, but you can get some real waves rolling in! As mentioned the waves mostly build up when the tide is coming in, and with strong wind, you can get 1-2 meter waves!
In the early morning hours between 10 and 12 I was teaching some medium wind technique because generally, the wind is not kicking in early, but mostly after lunch, so perfect for harness, tacking and light wind gybing. The afternoon is better for teaching carving gybes, chop hop, duck gybes and speed control. The most used boards were Futura 117 and 107 and 117 iSonic during the flat water sessions. And Kode FW 94-103 and CarveIQ 104-114 during the bumpy sessions. In the evenings I was showing the videos that were taken during the sessions to show my students what they can improve for the next day. I believe that learning in a group is more motivating, and exchanging experiences helps a lot! The reasons why my clinics are so popular is probably the mix between having fun, and at the same time, I am also very hard on them when the mistakes are repeating. It’s important to motivate, but also to make constructive critics when something is not right! Windsurfing is the greatest sport in the world, but also a very technical sport that is much easier to learn when you get professional help.
Looking forward to my next clinics!”

My husband, BMI 28.0 has been controlling and tracking his blood pressure. Ever since the born of baby T, we discovered a huge spike in his blood pressure. From 120-130/89-90 to 150-160/90-100. We thought it was because the shortage of sleep and more pressure built up for taking care 2kids.
I told him something must be blocked and the body tried to break through, he was in great dismay and asked me not to sound frightening. Added to the high blood pressure, he started to feel easily full eating smaller meals.
However, few weeks later he felt bloatedness and sometimes was painful. He went GP clinic and prescribed with gastric relieve medicine.
His condition had not improved. On and off he suffered bloatedness. He went Thong Chai (同濟）and he felt better with the herbs prescribed.
I Google, I told him this bloatedness might due to gastric malfunction or blockage at intestine. But we wanted to monitor first before it became intolerance.
18 Dec 2015, I called hubby and he took Mc and he got more serious pain. I urged him to do thorough check at hospital. We then met at hospital. All checks went well and until x-ray showed abnormalities that he required CT scan which he needed to be warded.
I had not sleeping well coping with a toddler, baby (breastfeeding) and a sick hubby. Year end sales review was so so. Work is so far still coping well and I was very thankful for the team’s support.
I didn’t think much but try to rest more.
