Case-mate has announced the launch of the I Make My Case service for the BlackBerry 85xx series as well as the 9700. Similar to the service that is already available to iPhone users allows the user to create a case based off of different artists designs. As you can see above the designs can get pretty crazy, I played around with designing one for the iPhone and it is a lot of fun. I am sure they will support more BlackBerry devices down the road, but for right now the 85xx and 9700 series owners get to have all the fun. The service is available right now by visiting www.imakemycase.com/blackberry, cases will run between $34.99 and $39.99. Any cases designed will start shipping in mid-April.
Another big announcement Case-mate made today was their plans to offer seven different style cases for the iPad. Ranging from the I Make My Case service to a leather case, Case-mate will have plenty of different options for the iPad. The seven types of cases are listed below:
- I Make My Case: Offering the ultimate in personalization and protection, consumers can remix art from world-renowned artists to create a completely unique, one-of-a-kind case for their iPad.
- Tough: The Hybrid Tough case for the iPad uses the protective power of dual layers. A form-fitting silicone skin surrounds the iPad completely, absorbing each impact or hard knock. Wrapped around the skin is an ABS plastic shell for complete security, adding another level of protection – and making for a firm grip.
- Gelli: The Gelli adds a splash of color while keeping the iPad safe with a fully protective, cutting-edge flexible thermoplastic material. The Gelli is soft, light and sports a unique pattern to guarantee the iPad will stand out.
- Felt Folio: Sporting a side-opening and leather accents, the Felt Folio includes light storage with additional pockets and keeps the iPad secure with a magnetic strap while on the go.
- Leather Commuter: This executive folio made of premium tan leather offers magnetic locks embedded into the case for a sleek protective fit.
- Nylon Folio: Created out of a black ballistic nylon material, this splash-resistant folio is the perfect basic for a minimalistic mindset.
- Stand: An innovative stand for the iPad, the stand offers both landscape and portrait modes for viewing. Its unique design collapses and snaps together for easy storage when not in use.
The cases will be available in the second quarter and range from $20-$80. You can view all the images of the upcoming cases below. Keep an eye on www.case-mate.com for all of these products as well as many more.


Mr. Speaker, it was this government that cut the sales tax by 2% for seniors and the entire population. It is the coalition parties—the NDP, Liberals and Bloc Québécois—that want to increase the federal GST by 2%. That is their position, but ours is the exact opposite.

Natania Releases Pop Infused EP ‘Pick It Up’
The record is the Los Angeles/Mumbai singer-songwriter’s first after a host of singles under her name
Over the last few years, we’ve closely watched Los Angeles/Mumbai singer-songwriter Natania Lalwani’s career grow from strength to strength. She’s steadily climbed the ladder by releasing quirky pop singles (“Prisoner,” “Enough,” “Mess Me Up,” “Yellow Lights,” “Muscle Memory“) to featuring on the soundtrack of web series Four More Shots Please! and also working as a co-writer with Indian playback singer Armaan Malik on his newest songs “Next 2 Me” and “Control.” Lalwani says, “[Composer] Mikey McCleary pulled me into work on the Four More Shots Please! soundtracks, a show that has been breaking glass ceilings and with so much female energy [and] working with Armaan Malik has been another incredible journey.” Now, Lalwani is out with her debut five-track EP titled Pick It Up.
The musician explains that the record was unplanned and was just something fun she wanted to do with American producer and mixing engineer Ethan Roberts. She says, “We got into the studio and had such a blast.” The artist didn’t bound herself to any rules and let her creative juices flow to create something bold and colorful. “It was the most fun process making music ever,” says Lalwani.
The whole EP is plastered with pop energy right across it from the opening title track to the mid record song “Let’s Go” and even the closer “Get Together.” The singer-songwriter says, “What’s funny is while I was writing them I was just having fun and wasn’t thinking too deep about the lyrics but they are all actually motivation themed songs which reflects how I was feeling.” Intertwined is also Indian percussion elements on songs including “Real Thing” and “Everybody.” “It reminds me of the festival Holi,” she says.
In regards to promoting the record in the midst of the coronavirus, Lalwani is going to use social media and digital campaigns to spread the word. While in lockdown she’s been able to stay productive and write and record music as well as up her cooking skills. In the works is a new bi-lingual (English and Hindi) song she’s releasing in the near future. “Lots of exciting projects coming up,” says Lalwani.

Culver City Sees Sharp Uptick in Covid-19 Cases, Deaths
December 3, 2020
Mirroring an alarming countywide trend, Culver City recorded a sharp uptick in the rate of Covid-19 infection and deaths in the past 2 weeks, the Los Angeles County Health officials has announced.
As of press time yesterday, the number of Culver City residents with Covid-19 shot up to 659 cases, a 25% increase in the past 12 days. Deaths related to coronavirus also rose by 3 over the same period and now total 31 locally, health officials said. More than half of the fatalities occurred in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
County-wide, the total infected with coronavirus stands at 414,185 with 7,740 deaths. On Wednesday, Public Health reported 40 new deaths and 5,987 new cases of Covid-19. Since early November, the average daily cases have increased by 225% and, in the past 10 days, the county have seen recorded over 5,300 cases daily.
Currently, there are 2,439 people hospitalized with Covid-19 in Los Angeles County, surpassing Tuesday's record high of 2,316 people, health officials said. The number of people hospitalized has increased by 94% in the past two weeks.
The County's positivity rate has also increased dramatically, from 3.9% on Nov. 1 to 13.0% yesterday. Heath officials said that Covid-19 cases among healthcare workers and residents in skilled nursing facilities have increased by more than 70% since early November. Cases at schools, both among staff and students, also increased 224% during that period.
Along with the spike in transmission and hospitalizations, the County is also experiencing sharp increases in Covid-19 related deaths. Since November 9, deaths have risen by 92%. This past week, the county has averaged 38 Covid-19 deaths per day, officials said.
"These numbers are devastating," said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. "We are seeing terrifying increases and numbers in L.A. County that can only be turned around if everyone – businesses and individuals – carefully use the tools we have to slow the spread: wearing a face covering, distancing, staying away from crowds and gatherings, and following all the business protocols to protect workers and customers. Please commit today and through the next few months to being the solution to this terrible pandemic."
The rate of infection in Culver City stands at 1653 per 100,000 population. But it's still lower than the levels at some neighboring cities, including Beverly Hills at 2952, Inglewood at 3775 and the City of Los Angeles 4185.

Published On: , by NewAdMacSoft
Apple has released its latest MacBook Pro with a few adjustments that some of us weren’t ready to handle. The new MacBook Pro has only two to four (depending on the model) Thunderbolt 3 ports on board. Though they are compatible with USB-C port, in general, it means that most of the users will have to purchase additional adapters to connect their peripherals to the MacBook Pro. And if you are thinking about connecting your iPhone, in this case, you’ll also have to purchase a special lightning cable to make it work.
Because adapters don’t come along with the laptop (only power adapter does), you should purchase them on your own. It’s worth mentioning that if you need more than one, it might cost you quite a lot of money, so make sure to save additional $200 or more, depending on your needs. For this reason, it’s fair to get a single adapter with multiple inputs so you can connect every device at the same time and don’t bother yourself with switching between different adapters.
Which Adapter to Choose for the MacBook Pro Guide
It’s possible that it might take quite some time to find a worthy adapter on the market that’ll suit your needs. Because sometimes the combination of connections on the dock doesn’t do enough, and it’s best to know beforehand which connections you’ll be using the most.
This is why we’ve come up with the useful guide to help you navigate through a myriad of different ports and adapters.
Hopefully for this one you won’t need an adapter, since the shape of both USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports are the same, you can easily plug in one of your USB-C’s. But in case you need a USB-C Hub, you can check out options from Belkin, Lenovo, and Elgato, since they produce the best ones.
This connector should be familiar to you because it’s the most commonly used type of USB. Generally speaking, it’s an “original” type of USB that older MacBooks used to have before Apple changed the game here. If you need to connect your iPhone or iPad simultaneously search for Satechi dock or stick with Apple’s $19 single adapter.
3. Micro-B Cable
Startech’s website offers a Micro-B Cable that connects to your USB-C host (or Thunderbolt 3) for $16. You also get a warranty along with this cable, which is a good thing to have just in case.
4. Thunderbolt 1 and 2
This is an easy one, you can go straight to Apple’s website and get yours for around $50. This is a bit high in price, but this adapter is bi-directional which means it can be used in different ways.
To connect this type of port to your MacBook Pro you’ll need a USB-C to DP(or Mini DP) adapter or cable, both available on Amazon for around $20.
There’s a multi-adapter at Apple’s website that hosts one HDMI, one USB-C port type, and one USB-A. However, the latter two are only suitable for charging your devices. This adapter should cost you about $70, and if you don’t want to waste that amount of money if you don’t need additional USB ports, get simple Auckey adapter at Amazon.
Same goes here as with HDMI. Apple also has a multi-adapter for VGA to Thunderbolt 3 with three different connections, namely VGA, USB-C, and USB-A. But this one is also up there in price, it goes for around $80. If you don’t want to spend that much money, go for $13 Fly adapter that’s available on Amazon.
There’s no better option than Belkin adapter for this purpose which is available on Amazon for $35.
9. SD Card
If you need to transfer files from your camera or another device that has the info stored on SD Card – it’s probably best to use SanDisk Reader that you can pick up at Amazon for $32.
This one is a bit tricky. Apple has an adapter for this case, but with an older version of Thunderbolt. What this means, is that your new MacBook Pro would not support this adapter. Which leaves you with an option to buy another adapter that supports Thunderbolt 2 and plug it in. But there’s also a more costly option, you can buy an OWC dock that has multiple connections including Ethernet, USB-C ports, DP port and more. Look it up at Amazon, it should be around $300.

Knights of the Realm
Britain and it's regions
Britain is divided into five areas: Logres, Cambria, Cumbria, Pictland, and Cornwall. Logres is by far the most important. Furthermore, several Saxon kingdoms inhabit the eastern coastal regions.
Logres is the lowland region of Britain previously ruled by the Romans, who established many great cities. Your character’s county, Salisbury, is located here. Logres is the largest and most powerful kingdom of Britain and the home of British civilization and culture. It includes about one half of the island’s population. It is divided into several regions that are loosely based on the pre-Roman tribal areas. However, those tribal regions have been subdivided into administrative counties, each ruled by a count (though a couple of them have dukes instead). These Roman-imposed regions are stronger and more practical than the older divisions. Logres contains several signif cant cities, of which London is the largest and most important.
All the rest of Britain outside of Logres is foreign land. These lands are divided among five larger regions, each of which has several kingdoms within it. Many lands are inhabited by Cymric peoples, others by Irish, Saxons, or Picts.
Cambria is the western region of Britain. It is sometimes called Wales or, in the French fashion, Gales. Cambria, however, extends eastward beyond modern Wales to include a much larger region.
Two strong kings contend for power in Cambria. In the south, King Lak rules over Estregales. His subjects are generally descendants of ancient Irish raiders who settled here. He receives fealty from the lords of Escavalon, Gloucester, and Cardigan.
The lands of Gomeret and Isles (Anglesey and the Holy Isle), including Cheshire, are ruled by King Pellinore, an ambitious and difficult king. He is a fair and just man, but his passion for the hunt sometimes overcomes his obligations to his kingdom. Still, his people love him, and he has protected the land well from Irish raiders.
The interior of Cambria is all rugged mountains and forests. Many tribesfolk live there, outside the rule of any king or civilized ways.
The people of Cumbria are often called the “northern British.” Cumbria includes all the lands north of the Humber River and south of the Pictish mountains. Much of this region is of moor-covered mountains or dense, unexplored forest.
King Lot, the King of Lothian, is the preeminent king of the north. He comes from the northern islands of the Orkneys, but rules over Lothian. He also has alliances with many Pictish tribes. Though Lot is dominant, the rulers of most of the other British kingdoms have not submitted to him.
The Kingdom of Malahaut is the strongest single kingdom, and King Uther recently saved its king, Sir Barant de Apres, from the Saxons. Barant has as many titles as King Uther does: the Centurion King, King of the Brigantes, heir of King Coel the Old, and especially King of One Hundred Knights. He rules from the city of Eburacum (York).
The Saxon Coast
Several regions of eastern Britain have been settled by Germanic peoples from the northern mainland of Europe. Collectively, they are called Saxons, though technically not all are from Saxony. Saxons currently hold Sussex, while the Jutes hold Kent. Angles hold the lands of Nohaut and Diera. These regions each have their own kings.
Although they are all hostile to the Cymry, the “Saxons” are also rivals, and a rough peace is maintained through a high king called a Bretwalda, who is currently King Ælle of Sussex.
Pictland includes everything north of Cumbria. Most of it is mountain, unexplored and unknown to anyone except the wild, tattooed natives. Its rugged western coast line, called the Long Isles, is occupied by Irish from the powerful kingdom of Dal Riada. The wild tribesmen of this region regularly raid and pillage Britain, returning home with plunder.
Cornwall and Brittany
Cornwall and Brittany are “the west.” Cornwall includes the entire southwestern peninsula of the British Isle (an area much larger than the Cornwall of modern times).
It is famous for its rich tin mines and its close political connections with Brittany, whose settlers have been populating and dominating the northern half of the peninsula for a generation. Cornwall is divided between two rulers. Neither has ever submitted to Uther. The northwestern half of it is ruled over by Duke Gorlois; his wife, Ygraine, is the most renowned beauty in Britain. The southeastern half is ruled by King Idres, who also rules most of northern Brittany.
Brittany was once a Roman province, but it was severely depopulated by barbarians and disease, and has recently been settled by emigrants from Britain. Its coastal lands are rich and thriving, although the interior is a wild and enchanted forest. Most of the north is ruled by old King Idres
of Totnes, the Cornish king. King Conan of Vannetais, in the south, is the other major ruler, ambitious and troubled by a fierce hatred for the King of France.
Ireland is a barbarous island populated by many clans of notorious wildness, all divided into five great kingdoms. It has a High King, but he rules more in name than in fact.
The savage tribesmen of the region regularly raid across the Irish Sea to pillage Britain.
Little is known of continental Europe in this time. The major regions are Rome (Italy), France, Ganis, Gaul, and the far-distant Byzantine Empire. The great Roman Empire of the Caesars has fallen, replaced by warring barbarian kingdoms ruled by grandsons of the ancient German war gods.
France is a large country in the north occupied by the Franks. Its king is Clovis, who does little more than oversee the many Frankish lords who continually bicker among themselves. The capital city of Paris is a squalid, fortified city.
Ganis is a powerful land in the southern coast of Biscay. Sailors of Ganis and Brittany contend for the Atlantic trade routes between Britain and the Mediterranean, along with the many Saxon pirates who ply the region.
Gaul is the southern region, more civilized and Roman than the northern French. (Most of its inhabitants can still read and write!)
Italy is dominated by the Goths, Germanic tribesfolk who try unsuccessfully to ape the Roman ways. In Rome is the pope, the leader of the Roman Christian church. The Byzantine Empire is a powerful one, but is so far away that it is beyond concern. Every other land in Europe is a feudal or barbarian kingdom. The farther north the kingdom lies, the more barbaric it is, making the Picts and the Scandinavians the most barbaric.

LONDON - English medical leaders on Friday urged Boris Johnson not to be too "gung-ho" with the nation's health when he moves to end all pandemic restrictions with his plan to live with COVID-19 next week.
Having scrapped virtually all COVID-19 restrictions in England already, Johnson on Monday will set out plans to go further, indicating he wants to end the legal obligation for people who test positive to self-isolate.
The government has also drawn up plans to end free lateral flow tests by the summer, and there is speculation over the future of major pandemic surveillance studies, such as the Office for National Statistics' Infection Survey.
A survey of health leaders by the NHS Confederation found that nearly eight in 10 wanted the public to have access to free tests, while three quarters disagreed with the move to make self-isolation advisory rather than a legal requirement.
They said that COVID could disrupt attempts to catch up with non-COVID treatments if it was allowed to surge again.
"A lot is at stake for the NHS's recovery ambitions if the government is too gung-ho in its plans for exiting the pandemic, which is why health leaders are calling for a cautious and evidence-led approach," said Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the quarantine period for people with COVID can be shortened but should be kept. While Johnson intends to scrap the legal requirement to self-isolate, advice to self-isolate would remain.
Britain only introduced the legal obligation to self-isolate in September 2020, after the first national COVID lockdown had already been relaxed, and public health guidance before COVID had rarely been put on a legal footing.
Britain has reported 160,000 deaths from COVID but a successful booster programme and Omicron's lower severity has broken the link between cases and deaths, leading Johnson to lift rules limiting social contact and restrictions on the economy.
While daily reported cases have come down since the beginning of the year, prevalence surveys indicate a slower fall and suggest changes in testing behaviour might be impacting daily figures.
An Omicron subvariant, BA.2, is also spreading in Britain. In Denmark, another highly vaccinated country, the subvariant became dominant and fuelled a further spike in cases.
Asked about the survey, security minister Damian Hinds said vaccination was helping the country to live with COVID like it does with other disease.
"We are now coming to the stage where yes, of course we must prepare to live with it," Hinds told Sky News.

Steve Wiley, CEO of developer Innovega, told Megagadget he expects the company’s AR glasses to succeed where Google Glass didn’t. “AR glasses have failed to meet even the most basic needs of the human wearer.” Wiley said the stylish, lightweight glasses have a “compelling” AR display that includes high-resolution media panoramic overlay/ Combined with vision correction lenses the system gives “an in-focus simultaneous view of both real-world and digital media.”
The US-based company has also designed an intra-ocular lens that could be surgically implanted during cataract surgery inside the eye, to give the user an improved view of their surroundings, plus an ability to view near-eye, high performance displays mounted in smart glasses.


The high temperature conditions here refer to the conditions when the medium temperatures are equal to or higher than the starting creep temperatures of the metallic materials. The creep temperature of carbon steel is about 400℃; chromium molybdenum alloy steel 450℃; austenitic iron-based high-temperature alloy steel 540℃; nickel-based high-temperature alloy 650℃; aluminum alloy 200℃; titanium alloy 310℃.
Under high temperature conditions, thermal expansion and contraction will happen on both the metal and non-metallic materials, which will have an impact on the sealing performance of the valves
. The thermal expansion compensation structures of the butterfly valves
and the treatment of the gate valves' clacks to prevent clipping tightly are to eliminate the adverse effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
When we choose the valves
used for high temperature conditions, we should give consideration to the following principles.
The types of valves
We should first choose valves
which have the valve discs with good thermal expansion compensation performance. The thermal expansion compensation capacity of the commonly used shut-off valves from high to low is: globe valves
, gate valves
, ball valves
, mechanically balanced plug valves, metal sealed butterfly valves.
When the medium temperatures exceed the starting creep temperatures of the bolts' materials, it is not recommended to use the wafer butterfly valves and the check valves.
When the non-metallic seal is adopted, attention should be paid to the operation temperatures of the non-metallic materials. We can consult the valve manufacturers about the specific operation temperature range of the materials.
The structures of valves
When the gate valves are selected, we should consider the possibility of the valve clacks being clipped tightly. Therefore, we should select gate valves with elastic valve
clacks when the gate valves of DN50 and above DN50 are decided to be used.
Welding connections are not emphasized to be adopted in the simple high temperature environments and they will be recommended if the high temperature conditions are combined with the pressure and then causes the nominal pressure rating of valves
higher than or equal to Class600 (for Class series) or PN100 (for PN series). Welding connections will also be recommended if the high temperature conditions are combined with the flammable media and the temperature of the media exceeds the spontaneous ignition points and flash points of media.
The bypass should be set on the valves used for high temperature steam (3.5 Mpa and above) pipelines or other pipelines considered by the engineering designers that they can not withstand thermal shocks.
The materials of valves
For the pressure components of valves, manufacturers should be required to have creep tests on materials, to provide the data of type tests, and to improve their quality control of materials, including the control of surface defects, internal defects and non-metallic inclusions.
When the temperatures of the media are higher than the starting creep temperatures of the bolts' materials, the adverse effects of possible stress relaxation of the bolts on the sealing performance of the valve bonnets should be evaluated. Replace the materials with those of higher creep temperatures, or take other measures if necessary.
As the non-synchronized thermal expansion of the valve components may create additional force on the sealing parts, the hardening treatment should be had on the sealing surfaces of the valve clacks and the valve seats.
The effects of high temperature conditions on the accelerated aging of the stem packing should be evaluated. If necessary, replace the materials with better ones, or take appropriate measures.

It’s just a matter of putting all the known information together, and seeing where it leads.
Rather than targeting ordinary families how about dipping into the accounts of firms such as Amazon, Google and Starbucks which avoid paying the taxman with impunity? Bet they’d hardly notice a few million going missing.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/news/article-2624400/Amazons-0-1-tax-bill.html. We have a name for these companies at RH, we call them ZOMBIE COMPANIES/ORGANISED CRIMINALS. They operate worldwide in sovereign nations, putting nothing in and taking it all out.
And after all the posturing and crocodile tears as always its “all about the money”. Surprise surprise. If you look at our earlier post Corporate Government – Organised Crime we have begun to explain why UK citizens, and this also applies to most countries by the way, pay so much tax. There are at least several hundred ZOMBIE COMPANIES/CORPORATE CRIMINALS operating in the UK.
Now here’s a Question: Say all these ZOMBIE COMPANIES/CORPORATE CRIMINALS paid their “fair share in taxes” could
Petrol go down to 50 pence a litre?
Income Tax be 20 pence in the Pound?
We abolish National Insurance?
1/4 % Stamp Duty?
Have free public transport?
Of course you may have to add in the 100s of 1000s of individuals who avoid paying their “fair share” plus all the “celebrities” like Garry Barlow, Bernie Ecclestone, Jimmy Carr, Sir Phillip Green (MAFIOSO) and the 1000,s who work at the BBC, etc, etc to pay for it,but we feel at RH it’s quite achievable. What do you feel?
Remember its like this ,cause you let it

Please see below a number of frequently asked questions. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please use the search at the top of our site, or send us an enquiry.
- Is Vetmedin better for my dog who is on Fortekor and Lasix?
- My dog has seizures when it exercises
- My dog is 3-4 years old, and she’s STILL messing in the house!!!
- My young dog is lame. Is use of Cartrophen and Rimadyl ok?
- Our dog suddenly pulls up limping on a hindleg 4-5 times a week
Sounds like there may be a dislocating patella (kneecap) problem. If it gets worse or more frequent, its time to seethe vet. It may require surgery to stop it re-occurring.
Other problems that may be present include lose hip joints, foreign body in the pads- both of which are less likely. Hopefully, it wont worry your dog too much.
See also... Dislocating Patellas
I suspect the dog is either throwing off some irregular heatbeats, running out of sugar in the blood, or over-heating.
If your vet has seen an abnormal ECG showing irregular heartbeats,they will probably want to start your dog on some type of medication to try and stop them.
I would also take the dog's temperature whilst exercising every 5-10 minutes to see if this is a problem.
Diagnosing low blood glucose is difficult unless the vet goes with you and collects blood samples during the exercise. Maybe a response to some high energy snack foods given during exercise would be a pointer as to this being the problem.
Ask your vet to run x-rays and run blood tests to make sure there is no other health problem causing the irregular heartbeat.
If, despite therapy, the problem continues, then ask for a referral to a specialist vet cardiologist who may want to attach a monitor to your dog for 2-3 days to record the hear rhythm whilst your dog is playing and collapsing.
Usually, we start with Lasix and Fortekor. If your dog is wheezing, it may be due to either the large amount of fluid in the abdomen pressing on the diaphragm, or there may be left sided heart failure as well.
It may be a good idea to repeat chest x-rays to see if the enlarged heart is impinging on the windpipe where it splits into two. If so, maybe add a cough suppressant and/or a drug called Theophylline or Codeine to try and minimise the reaction of the windpipe to this compression.
Changing to Enalapril probably won’t make much difference- it’s just another drug similar to Fortekor.
Salt restriction is important- maybe ask your vet for Hills H/D or equivalent low salt diet.
I like to run bloods before starting and after 4-5 days to check renal and liver function.
Ask your vet if they can record the blood pressure. If it is elevated despite current therapy, your vet may add Norvasc to the regime.
An accurate weight needs to be recorded each day to monitor fluid removal (1ml=1gm) If the fluid fails to shift, and the kidneys are handling the Lasix, your vet may be better off adding a second diuretic eg Spironolactone to the regime.
If it still fails to shift, then a third diuretic eg Hydrochlorothiazide may be tried.
Usually, when adding these extra diuretics in, we do it on 2-3 days of the week rather than each day as they can cause problems if used at daily dosing straight away.
Some resistant cases respond better to Lasix injections than Lasix tablets. Discuss the possibility of giving a Lasix injection at home 2-3 times a week if your vet is happy to dispense and show you correct handling.
Vetmedin is a great drug for heart failure cases. For the "Rolls Royce" in heart thrapy, we use Frusemeide (Lasix), Pimobendan (Vetmedin) and an ACE inhibitior (e.g. Fortekor, Enalapril)
Sounds like a good approach to me. Make sure your vet does blood test before starting the Rimadyl to make sure the liver and kidneys can handle it. As a short term treatment in a young dog it should help for a mild sprain etc. It may be worth taking x-rays of the leg to rule out bone infections, un-united anconeal process or OCD of the shoulder if there is no improvement. Rimadyl is a non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drug (NSAID) so wherever there is inflammation and associated heat and swelling, it is very effective. I have a page on arthritis

This is a very basic book and unnecessarily repetitive in sections. It does introduce the reader to the basic nomenclature of bicycles and this is helpful when conversing with others. Unfortunately the repetitive sections were not replaced with chapters on 3 Speed in hub gear drives, or coaster breaks, or a chapter on Adult Tricycles and Tandems and E-Bikes.
Do not take your Bike to Kyle's Bike Shop they handled my bike so poorly they can not work on Vintage Schwinn' and the attitude they had if it wasn't a high dollar bike don't expect good service. I had to find my own parts, had to take the bike back twice to get the wheel trued and they ruined my bike it is so scrapped up the Schwinn is gone on the side of the bike. If you care about your bike do not take it here.
We spoke to a broad spectrum of cyclists—from a pro racer to a bike messenger turned mechanic to a touring cyclist who has logged thousands of miles throughout Europe—to find out what items they find indispensable. We sorted through 40 tire levers, almost 30 different kinds of patches, 120 different hand pumps, and 57 seat bags before we narrowed our choices for testing. And then we changed and patched tires more than 50 times, using four different bikes, five different wheels, six different tires, and almost 10 different sizes of tubes. After 96 hours of combined testing, we agree these essentials are some of the best you can buy.
Mini Pump: This actually goes on the frame of your bike, as it’s a bit too big for most under-seat bags. Coming soon, we’ll have a review from Bill of his very favorite one, but a good pump is a lifesaver. Some people instead carry a CO2 inflator, which is faster and easier to use but does require disposable cartridges, and each time you have a flat, you’ll need at least 2 of those cartridges. There are combined pump/inflator tools that we’ll also talk about soon.
A good patch will stick to your tube enough to keep air from leaking out. A great patch will act like a second skin and actually strengthen the tube where it’s applied, flexing and stretching with the tire. After 36 hours of testing, our official endorsement goes to the Rema TT 02 Touring Repair Kit. Its patches do everything other patches do, just better. The edge of the patch is also ruffled, which provides more edge surface area to bond—that’s a good thing.
Road riders need lightweight, tiny tools that can fit into jersey pockets. A lot of those items are made of carbon fiber, which is lighter than aluminum. Other iconic trappings of road riding, like CO2 cartridges and spandex outfits, are also geared toward minimalism, but all of that downsizing comes at a cost. Commuters don’t have to be as concerned with weight, so unless you covet something specific, don’t spend the extra money.
If you own a bike, you need a flat-fixing kit. It’s really that simple. Sure, maybe you’ll get lucky and get a flat close to a shop, or the buses will be running on time for once, but even with all that going for you, getting stranded across town will cost you time, money, and precious sanity. You can put together a great kit in less time than it takes to read this guide.
Bikes have remained popular since time in memorial. It’s fun being a rider. Their existence brings about the need to preserve their smooth riding. A bicycle like any mechanically driven tool requires regular service as they are prone to artificial failure. To ensure an outstanding service, the appropriate toolkit should be employed. It may not be easy to obtain the best toolkit, but with us, you are guaranteed quality and efficient toolkits.
In addition to the Rema patches, put a new tire tube in your kit. The best method for dealing with a flat roadside is to swap out the tube and save the task of patching for later. If you’re not sure what size your tires are, it’s printed on the sidewall of the tire. This inner-tube buying guide has some photos of where to look. What brand is almost irrelevant as many tubes get manufactured in the same place, so whatever your local shop has behind the counter for under $10 will work fine. The only reason to spend more would be to save weight.

You'll also see how toextend the life of your bike, increase your riding comfort, andimprove safety through routine maintenance. No matter the make orsize of bicycle, this hands-on resource has all the tips youneed!

A two-stage hand pump tries to marry the best features of both types of pumps: the quick inflation of high volume that can achieve the higher psi ranges of high pressure. But to steal a quote from our floor pump guide, “You pump eight times or you pump 10 times—what does it matter?” That’s a quote from Daimeon Shanks, who at the time was a mechanic for the Garmin-Sharp pro tour team—that’s right, Tour de France, baby.
Professional mountain biker Rebecca Rusch has been on plenty of long rides and experienced enough mechanical failures to know what makes a fully-stocked repair kit. One of her recent journeys, a 1,200-mile journey through the jungles of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia along the Ho Chi Minh Trail required the utmost degree of preparedness — “We brought with us a lot of extra bearings, o-rings, stuff that you would never be able to find in Laos and Cambodia. Before I go out on these big adventures, I replace every bearing in my bike, my fork got a total rebuild — everything is in pristine condition,” says Rusch.
If you are planning on going on a multi-day ride or just riding a long distance in a day, you should have something for first aid, just in case. Unfortunately, almost everyone who cycles frequently will go down at least once in their life. This kit can be really small and compact and can include bandages, some gauze, and a small bottle of a disinfectant.
Where to begin?! Long story made somewhat short. I bookmarked this place because I saw their dog Kaya and was sold. Lol. But they had 5 stars too so that helped. Amazing people. Very down-to-earth. Took the bikes down the path to Discovery Park. If you're in-shape and do mild cardio, then it should be an ok ride. I don't do cardio and I found myself trying to sell my soul like 15 times just to get to the top of some hills. Lol. Made it to the Ballard locks and actually got to see a boat pass through! This is the off-season so not much boat traffic. Steve, an engineer we met there, said peak time will start in May. Ate lunch at Ann's in Ballard. Delish shrimp sate! I busted my tire in a pothole and had to make a trip to REI. Which wasn't awful because we wanted to go there anyway. The city was tough to ride in at 5:00pm and we rode the sidewalk most of the way back due to the congestion. Some pedestrians are obvious to you and I almost ran over a few people.. By choice. Lol. Made it back right before they closed at 6:00pm. Easy peasy! Notes: Take some water. Take some pictures. The ride is beautiful so don't rush through. Get there before noon to give yourself some time to cruise.
I bicycle to and from work to save gas. I don't have a fancy bike, it's just a Schwinn mountain bike that's comfortable and can carry me plus gear but I want to be able to do my own work on it. I needed a book that was simple enough for someone new to bicycle repair and maintenance but could take me through all the upkeep my workhorse needs, and this book does just that. It's well-written and easy to follow.

The power battery is thermally managed using liquid as a medium, including a liquid cooling system and a liquid heating system. Liquid-cooled battery heat dissipation is developed under the background that air-cooled battery cooling cannot meet the expected heat dissipation effect. The thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of liquid are higher than those of air. Table 1 shows the thermal conductivity of water at different temperatures. Liquid-cooled battery cooling structures can be divided into passive and active. In the passive system, the liquid exchanges heat with the outside air to send the battery heat out; in the active system, the battery heat is sent out through liquid-liquid exchange.
Table 1 Thermal conductivity of water at different temperatures
When liquid is the medium, pipelines can be arranged between the battery modules, or jackets can be arranged around the batteries, or the battery cells or modules can be directly immersed in the liquid. When the battery is in direct contact with the liquid, the liquid can be water, ethylene glycol, refrigerant, etc.; when the battery is not in direct contact, the liquid must be a dielectric, and ensure insulation to avoid short circuits.
The advantages of liquid-cooled battery cooling are as follows:
(1) Due to the high thermal conductivity of the liquid, the heat transfer coefficient between the liquid and the battery wall is high, the heat dissipation is large, the cooling speed is fast, and the cooling efficiency is high;
(2) The cooling system is small in size and simple in structure, which meets the specific requirements of electric vehicle space compactness.
The principle of liquid-cooled battery heat dissipation is shown in Figure 1. In a passive liquid cooling system, the liquid medium flows through the battery to be heated, the temperature rises, the hot fluid is transported by a pump, exchanges heat with the outside air through a heat exchanger, the temperature decreases, and the cooled fluid (coolant) flows again. The battery has simple structure and low cost. In the active liquid cooling system, the heat exchange between the hot fluid and the outside world is mainly carried out through the vehicle engine refrigerant or in combination with the air conditioning system. The energy consumption of passive liquid cooling system mainly comes from pump and fan, while the energy consumption of active liquid cooling system mainly comes from pump and refrigeration system. For electric vehicles, especially EVs, the air conditioning system consumes a large proportion of battery energy, and the use of an active liquid cooling system will further increase the air conditioning's consumption of battery energy.
Figure 1 Schematic diagram of liquid-cooled battery cooling
Since the passive liquid cooling system mainly exchanges heat with the outside air, when the outside ambient temperature is high, in order to achieve efficient heat dissipation, the wind speed or the area of the heat exchanger must be increased. In addition, passive liquid cooling systems are not suitable for environments where the ambient temperature is close to or even higher than the maximum temperature the battery can withstand. For the active liquid cooling system, it is less affected by the ambient temperature because it can be combined with the air conditioning system.
2. Direct contact and indirect contact
In the direct contact liquid cooling system, the cooling liquid is in direct contact with the surface of the battery or battery module, and the cooling liquid used is generally a liquid with electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity (such as silicon-based oil, mineral oil), which can Solve the problem of module temperature balance, but due to the high viscosity of the insulating liquid, the flow rate is usually not high, which limits its heat exchange effect. The heat exchange efficiency of a system depends largely on the thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, velocity of the fluid and the way the fluid flows through the cell.
In the indirect contact liquid cooling system, the cooling liquid flows in the pipe and contacts the battery through a medium such as fins or heat sinks to take away heat, thereby cooling the battery. For cylindrical batteries, it can also be set to a ring-jacketed structure. Since there is no insulation requirement and no flow rate restriction, a liquid with high thermal conductivity can be selected, and the heat exchange effect is very good. However, in terms of temperature balance, it is not as good as direct contact liquid cooling. In order to prevent leakage and short circuit, the tightness of the pipeline is required to be higher during indirect contact.
3. Liquid-cooled battery cooling effect
Compared with the air-cooled cooling system, although the liquid-cooled cooling system is complicated, the cooling effect is better (Table 2). The heat transfer efficiency between the battery cell or module and the liquid is related to the thermal properties of the liquid (such as thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and flow velocity, etc.). Most direct contact liquids, such as mineral oil, transfer heat much more efficiently than air at the same flow rate. Due to the high viscosity of the oil, it requires a large pumping power, resulting in a low flow rate, and the effective heat transfer coefficient is only 1.5 to 4 times higher than that of air.
Table 2 Comparison of liquid cooling and air cooling
Pesaran et al. conducted a comparative experiment of oil and air cooling for a battery module with a heat output of 30W. When the initial temperature of air and oil were both 25 °C and the initial temperature of the battery module was 30 °C, the maximum temperature of the battery module after air cooling was is 54°C, while the oil cooling is 45°C.
Karimi and Li arranged cooling channels on both sides of the prismatic battery pack, with air on one side to cool the battery pack by natural convection of the air in the channel; air, silicone oil and phase change material (with a larger specific heat capacity) were respectively introduced on the other side. instead of fluid), the battery is exchanged for heat by forced convection of the fluid. The results showed that the temperature of the cell closest to the cooling channel decreased by 4°C after the cell was cooled with silicone oil.
Nelson et al. compared the battery thermal management effects of silicone dielectric fluid and air, and verified that the liquid medium has better heating and cooling effects than air. For the water-cooled NiCd battery, the thermal balance of the battery is also well controlled.
Zhang Guoqing et al. designed a liquid cooling system for EV and HEV battery packs, and carried out numerical simulations combined with single D-Sized series Ni-MH batteries. The simulation results show that when the liquid (mineral oil) flow rate is 2m s-1 When the temperature difference is controlled within 1°C.
With the continuous development of liquid-cooled heat dissipation, there are not only heat dissipation structure designs independent of the battery pack, but also designs combined with the vehicle. In order to improve vehicle performance, since 2012, Ford Motor Company's Li-Po electric vehicles have adopted a liquid-cooled cooling system for battery thermal management. General Motorsd has also developed a liquid (water) cooled battery thermal management system.

BRUSSELS — The EU last year added €1 billion ($1.08 billion) to Vladimir Putin’s war chest through fuel purchases despite sweeping bans on Russian oil, a new study shared with POLITICO found.
In 2023, the EU bought an estimated 35 million barrels of refined fuels — mostly diesel — originating at least in part from Russia, according to the analysis by nongovernmental organization Global Witness based on Kpler shipping data.
the analysis by nongovernmental organization Global Witness
These purchases were allowed through a gaping and now well-known loophole: Despite the EU ban on nearly all Russian oil imports, countries can still legally buy Moscow’s crude as long as it’s first refined into fuels elsewhere. The result is a steady flow of Russian fuel entering to the EU via places like India and Turkey — and lots of money flowing back to the Kremlin.
The €1 billion figure — equivalent to the cost of around 60,000 of the Iranian-made Shahed drones that Moscow frequently uses to bomb Ukrainian cities — comes as the EU agreed to a 13th package of sanctions to mark two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.


Oracle itself has defined certain conventions to avoid conflicts between Java classes of different programmers / companies / projects.
It suggests that a company (or any programmer) uses its own inverted web domain as the name of its packages (since the domain is unique). Example: My company owns the domain
www.empresaficticia.com.br . The main package of my projects would be defined as follows:
For cases where the web domain is not a valid package name (has hyphen, periods, starts with digits, etc.), Oracle suggests using underscore
_ . Example: my domain is
www.empresa-ficticia.com.br , so my package would be:
In addition to this top-level organization suggested by Oracle, the rest basically becomes the opinion and preference of each programmer / company. One tip for when your project gets too big is to separate it into modules that deal with only one category of features. Example: you have X classes in your project that deal only with database access, then put them in a
and another subpackage could be called
package br.com.empresa_ficticia.fs; and would contain its classes that deal with operating system files.
And a final tip, take a look at large open source projects. Analyze how they are organized. Some java projects I have already contacted and recommend to get a better idea of the subject: Apache Hadoop , Apache Giraph and Apache Hama .
But before you go out creating packages with names that have 40 characters, an invocation spell and the blood of a virgin, check if this is really necessary. If you are just doing a pet project, it will hardly be necessary to encapsulate your project in a package.


Future copyright problems
Artificial intelligence (AI), the buzz word of 2017, is the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems and other machines. AI has advanced rapidly over the last few years, with applications ranging from the novel and benign; like morphing children’s drawings of their parents into pictures of real people; to the complex and useful, such as autonomous vehicles and Apple’s new Face ID system. As tends to happen, however, the law may be playing a game of catch-up with the advancements in AI.
Audi, for example, recently released their new flagship luxury model – the new A8. The A8 is the first vehicle to offer level 3 autonomous driving. This means that the vehicle can pretty much navigate traffic by itself while the driver streams a movie, or gazes out the window at the proletariat. When the A8 goes on sale, however, it will not be sold with all of the level 3 autonomous driving hardware installed. The reason being is that China, the USA and a host of other countries are still negotiating the legal frameworks around level 3 autonomous driving.
The law of copyright may also currently be one step behind the advances in AI. Broadly speaking copyright, governed by the Copyright Act, protects certain defined “works”, such as computer programs, films, literary, musical and artistic works. Traditionally, the creation of these works has been a strictly human endeavour. The advances in AI, however, have resulted in a paradigm shift, in that sufficiently “smart” computers can now create their own “works” with little, or even no, human involvement.
For the thriller film Morgan (debuting 2 September 2017 in the USA), the IBM Watson supercomputer was tasked to make the scariest movie trailer possible. In making the trailer, Watson analysed the visual and audio composition of 100 classic horror movies, to learn what is “scary”. Using this new knowledge Watson extracted scenes, dialogue and music from the entirety of Morgan to create what, in its “opinion”, is the scariest movie trailer possible. This trailer was created by Watson using multiple sources of data, ostensibly input by multiple humans as well as new information Watson itself created.
Requiring even less human involvement, the artist Taryn Southern composed her new single “Break Free” using an open source AI platform called Amper Music. Personally, this sounds like something out of George Orwell’s ‘1984’, as Southern merely selected the genre, the instruments and the beats per minute, Amper then created the musical verses. The musical verses were then arranged by Southern into the backing track, which were then layered beneath her vocals.
The above movie trailer and pop song were created by AI, or at least by using the input of AI which brings us to the importance of the distinction between a computer aided work and a computer generated work. The former, is work made by a person using the computer as a tool, or instrument. The latter, is where a work is made by a computer where it is not possible to attribute the resultant work directly to the efforts of any person causing the work to be made.
The authorship and ownership of computer aided works raise far fewer issues than computer generated works so, for current purposes, computer generated works will be the focus. Computer generated works, raise some interesting questions in terms of copyright to which there are currently no clear answers, these are:
Who would be the author of a work created by an AI?
Section 1, paragraph (h) of the Copyright Act, under the definition of “author”, states that “if a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work or computer program is computer-generated” the author would be the person “by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work were undertaken”. This phrase is, nevertheless, somewhat problematic. Is the person “by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work were undertaken” the person who built the AI, the person who trained the AI, or the person who fed the AI specific inputs to the AI?
Who would be the owner of a work created by an AI?
In many instances, once the work has come in to existence the authorship and ownership of copyright subsisting in it coincide. This, however, is not always the case with the exceptions being set out in section 21 of the Copyright Act. That being said, as authorship of a work created by an AI is imprecise, it follows that ownership will also be difficult to determine.
Who would be responsible if an AI creates a work that infringes on another’s copyright?
There is currently no legal framework that provides for an AI as an infringing party or even if an AI can be an infringing party. Therefore, should an AI create a work which infringes on another’s copyright, it is unclear who would be held accountable for such infringement. It may be the person “by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work were undertaken” but, amongst other issues, this “person” is very hard to accurately ascertain.
As things currently stand, we are in uncharted waters in regulating and managing AI created works, without the certainty required to address these new legal concerns. This leaves policy makers and industry partners with some serious and complex work to develop a legal framework that is both flexible and comprehensive.
Perhaps we can request Watson to do it for us.

The rat race for top streaming service is on as Apple announced plans to join with their own contender. After the success that streaming services saw this year, both critically and in viewership numbers, Apple has hopped on the lucrative bandwagon with several programs in the works, in hopes to launch in the earlier half of 2019.
Apple is budgeting around 1 billion dollars for its original streaming content, a hefty sum to put it in the running against long-term competitors Netflix and Hulu. The company has signed contracts to produce content with both Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon. They also have “See”, an upcoming dystopian drama starring “Aquaman”‘s Jason Mamoa, in the works, as well as a series from “La La Land”‘s Damien Chazelle. It’s clear they’re serious about getting in on the game quick.
Disney is also in it to win it!
Disney is also throwing its hat into the race, recently ending its relationship with Netflix in order to forge ahead with its own plans to launch Disney+ late in the year. Disney plans on creating family-friendly original programs for the Disney+ service. Furthermore, it also plans on taking a hold of Hulu to stream its riskier, non-PG content. The service is aiming to offer cheaper plans than Netflix, in a bid to be competitive with the online giant.
Which streaming service(s) will you be using?

Over the years, drapery has been used in a variety of ways; to cover sunlit windows, to insulate from the cold and heat, as a room divider, and simply to dazzle a room’s appearance. However you choose to utilize your drapes, there are factors that come into play in order to help with a room’s overall styling; the type of hardware, fabric and drape styling you select each have a role in enhancing a space.
When we are in the middle of a harsh winter and cold temperatures, the dreams of springtime, and the color that it brings, tiptoe through our minds. Pantone must have had the same dream when they announced EMERALD as the Color of the Year. This brilliant color provides a fresh approach but is grounded in traditional roots. Our inspiration for The Drawing Board stems from this color.

North Korea says floods devastate agriculture, destroy 11 percent of nation's farmland
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Wednesday, August 15, 2007, 12:00 am TWN
Floods caused by rains have destroyed more than one-tenth of North Korea's farmland at the height of the impoverished country's growing season, official media reported Wednesday.
"It is hard to expect a high-grain output owing to the uninterrupted rainstorms at the most important time for the growth of crops in the country," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said.
The damage has submerged, buried or washed away more than 11 percent of rice and corn fields in the country, KCNA reported, citing Agriculture Ministry official Ri Jae Hyon.
"The damage to farm crops by the current torrential rains is heavier than the previous ones in our country," Ri was quoted as saying.
The North is especially susceptible to bad weather because of a vicious circle where people strip hillsides of natural vegetation to create more arable land to grow food _ increasing the risk of floods. The country has suffered from food shortages since the mid-1990s, due to natural disasters along with outdated farming methods and the loss of Pyongyang's Soviet benefactor.
Some 46,000 hectares (113,666 acres) of fields in South Phyongan and South Hwanghae provinces were decimated in storms that began Aug. 7, KCNA said, noting those areas are the "main granaries of the country."
Another 37,000 hectares (91,427 acres) were also destroyed in North Hwanghae province, the agency said.
The North's state media earlier said the summer storms that battered wide swaths of the country left "hundreds" dead or missing, and other aid officials have said the toll was at least 200.
To cope with the damage, the North has mobilized the military to help with recovery efforts, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported Wednesday, citing unnamed South Korean government officials.
The U.N. World Food Program said Wednesday that North Korean officials reported 200,000-300,000 people were now homeless, with the total number of those affected probably much larger.
Aid workers who visited areas just north of Pyongyang saw extensive erosion and flooding, WFP spokesman Paul Risley said, adding the effects were expected to be especially acute because the weather hit during the pollination period for the crops.
"There is concern that this could indicate that these floods could significantly reduce the size of this year's harvest," Risley said from Bangkok, Thailand.
Tensions over the North's nuclear weapons program have constrained feeding efforts as other countries were reluctant to donate aid to the country, although the situation has recently improved and North Korea shut off its sole operating nuclear reactor last month.
Risley said the WFP had planned to double by September the number of those it feeds to 1.9 million people _ mostly children and nursing mothers _ after a recent donation of US$20 million (14.72 million) worth of food from South Korea.
But because of the floods, that aid is expected to be diverted and the WFP will likely launch a new international appeal for assistance, Risley said.
The WFP is able to produce critical food items such as biscuits from factories that it runs inside North Korea. However, it still needs outside commodities like wheat and rice to make them that are shipped via roads and rail.
"We're very concerned by the reports of damages to infrastructure, since that may affect our ability to quickly bring in emergency food rations," Risley said.
The KCNA report Wednesday said "over 200 pumping stations, more than 1,600 sections of waterways and 30 reservoirs, 450 agricultural structures and at least 800 sections of river and stream banks were destroyed."
The report added that several hundred water pumps, electric motors and transformers were deluged throughout the country.
The North was also hard-hit by floods last year where South Korean intelligence estimated 800-900 people were left dead or missing.

46K-pound roll of sheet metal falls off truck on I-15 in Draper
DRAPER — Southbound traffic on I-15 was slowed for a couple of hours Friday afternoon after a 46,000-pound roll of sheet metal fell out of a truck near 13000 South.
"The chain that was securing it, for whatever reason, broke and the sheet metal rolled off the truck and off onto the right-hand side of the freeway," Utah Highway Patrol spokeswoman MaryKaye Lucas said. "It managed to miss everybody."
No other vehicles were involved in the accident, Lucas said, but the spill still slowed traffic for about two hours Friday. It took a crane to move the roll of sheet metal off the freeway.
The accident happened about 2:45 p.m. and was cleared by 5:30 p.m.
