Sources of aluminum scrap
Источниками сырья для промышленности по переработке алюминиевого лома – в разных странах по-разному – являются:
- электротехническая промышленность;
- производство упаковочных материалов;
- transport engineering;
- household products, спорта и развлечений;
Aluminum scrap at home, medicine and sports
A wide variety of cast and wrought aluminum alloys can be found in simple household products, sports and entertainment. Примеры таких алюминиевых сплавов и товаров включают следующие:
- 3003 – кухонная утварь;
- 3004 – настольные лампы;
- 5005 – бытовые приборы;
- 5052, 6463 – бытовые приборы;
- 5056 – москитные сетки;
- 5457, 5657 – окантовка бытовых приборов;
- 6005 – телевизионные антенны;
- 6061 - furniture, лодки;
- 6063 - furniture, window, двери;
- 360.0 – кухонная утварь;
- 380.0 - lawn mowers, зуболечебное оборудование;
- В443.0 – электрические утюги;
- 513.0 - decorative items.
The biggest part aluminum spent on such consumer goods, like refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. However, scrap from these products usually comes with a lot of impurities and contaminants., including, steel and plastic parts. Therefore, this type of aluminum scrap requires careful preparation and sorting..
Aluminum scrap in transport
Applications of aluminum in vehicles started a long time ago and has a significant impact on the recycled aluminum industry. The first aluminum from aircraft was remelted immediately after World War I.. Nowadays, transport is the largest consumer of aluminum, and hence aluminum scrap.
Aluminum continues to be the main material in aircraft construction, despite the breakthrough in composite materials.
Alloys of the 2xxx series have long been used in aircraft structures, in particular, alloys 2024, 2124, 2224 and 2324 - these are all variants of the famous duralumin, alloy D16 according to GOST 4784-97.
Some alloys of the 7xxx series - 7055, 7075, 7150 - also find application in aircraft construction. In recent years, lithium-containing aluminum alloys (2090, 2091, 8090).
Moreover, aluminum is widely used in passenger ships, especially alloys of the 5xxx and 6xxx series, but in very limited quantities.
Aluminum scrap in a car
The largest part of aluminum, which is used in transport, accounted for by cars, sports vehicles, light trucks and motorcycles.
The consumption of aluminum in transport engineering is growing at a very fast pace. However, the service life of these products, much bigger, than, let us say, in beer cans. Therefore, a significant increase in the amount of aluminum scrap from transport can be expected only in thirty years..
Motor aluminum scrap
Previously, almost all automotive aluminum scrap was in the form of cast alloys and they still make up the majority. This scrap is often called motor scrap., so casting alloys of the 3xx.x series are widely used in load-bearing elements, in particular, alloys 319, 356, 380, 383 and 384. Therefore, about 60 % of all foundry aluminum products are automotive parts.
Scrap of wrought alloys
In recent decades, wrought aluminum alloys are also increasingly used in the automotive industry.. It:
- bumpers - alloys 6061, 7003, 7108;
- seat frames - 6061, 6063;
- wings, hood, doors - alloys 2022, 5182, 6016, 6111;
- radiators and evaporators - alloys 1100, 3003, 4147;
- load-bearing frame elements - alloys 5754, 6016, 6061, 6082.
Currently almost 20% extruded and rolled aluminum in Europe is used in transport engineering.
Impurities in car scrap
Common contaminants for transport aluminum scrap are:
- scrap iron, attached and detached;
- magnesium and zinc castings in car scrap;
- plastic and fabrics in shredded aluminum scrap.
Recycling of car scrap
Текущее преобладание в автомобильном ломе литейных сплавов облегчает их переработку, as cast alloys have wider impurity tolerances and can therefore absorb a wide variety of scrap. This is especially true for cast aluminum alloys. 319.0 and 380.0. This feature makes them attractive for widespread use.. However, the increased use of wrought aluminum alloys could change this picture., so these alloys have a much lower alloying and are less tolerant to the content of impurities. In this regard, the role of technologies and equipment for the preparation of aluminum scrap is growing., in particular, sorting it by alloy.

Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services Warns Michiganders About Health Insurance Scams During the Special Enrollment Period
March 30, 2021
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 30, 2021
(LANSING, MICH) With the Health Insurance Marketplace special enrollment period recently extended to Aug. 15, the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) is warning consumers to watch out for health insurance fraud and the promotion of fake health insurance policies in order to steal private information.
“The Special Enrollment Period is an important opportunity for Michiganders who need health coverage, but we are getting reports that criminals are taking advantage of consumers by purporting to sell fake policies and stealing personal information,” said DIFS Director Anita Fox. “It is important that consumers safely get the information and health coverage they need, while protecting themselves from fraud and unintended disclosure of their personal information.”
To protect themselves and their families from health insurance scams, consumers are encouraged to follow these four tips:
- Be Informed: Consumers should research health insurance basics and carefully compare plans before making a selection, whether on HealthCare.gov or direct from an insurer.
- Protect your personal information: Consumers should never give out financial or health information, such as banking, credit card, account numbers, or medical history, to someone who calls or comes to their home uninvited, even if they claim to be from the “government” or that they represent “Bidencare”. Representatives from the Marketplace may reach out after consumers enroll in a health plan, but they will never ask for the personal health or financial information listed above. Consumers who receive a call from the Marketplace can request that a letter to be mailed to them instead of answering questions over the telephone.
- Work with qualified assisters and verify what they say: Free, local assisters are available to help consumers enroll in coverage. Consumers should write down the name and contact information of the person who assists them and ask questions if they do not understand what is being said. Consumers can verify information and find a certified assister by visiting HealthCare.gov or by calling the Marketplace at 800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325).
- Report anything suspicious: If something doesn’t feel right, consumers are encouraged to call DIFS at 877-999-6442 or report the suspected fraud on the DIFS website. Suspected insurance fraud can be reported safely, easily, and in most cases anonymously.
“Insurance scam artists are becoming increasingly sophisticated in how they commit their crimes,” said Fox. “DIFS is working hard to crack down on these criminals. If a consumer thinks something or someone seems suspicious, we strongly encourage them to contact us to verify that the company or person they are speaking with is licensed by DIFS.”
DIFS can help consumers with health insurance questions and complaints and can provide information about the Health Insurance Marketplace special enrollment period that is open through Aug. 15. For more information, including a schedule of upcoming DIFS and MDHHS free virtual health insurance town halls, consumers should visit Michigan.gov/HealthInsurance or call 877-999-6442 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The mission of the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services is to ensure access to safe and secure insurance and financial services fundamental for the opportunity, security, and success of Michigan residents, while fostering economic growth and sustainability in both industries. In addition, the Department provides consumer protection, outreach, and financial literacy and education services to Michigan residents. For more information, visit Michigan.gov/DIFS or follow the Department on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.

Social Security funds are now expected to run dry in 2032, a year earlier than previously thought, which could lead to benefits being slashed.
The director of the Congressional Budget Office said money for the nation’s key retirement and disability support program will be exhausted in less than a decade, The Hill reported.
In the event that the two trust funds that contribute to Social Security benefits ran down to zero, current law would see a more than 20 percent reduction to benefits, CBO Director Phillip Swagel said. New tax revenue flowing into the funds each year would be enough to cover about 80 percent of current benefits, according to a Congressional Research Service report.
The main reason for the depletion date moving closer, Swagel said, is the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that raised benefits by 8.7 percent this year in response to inflation. That latest COLA was the largest since 1981, according to a CBO report.
“There was high inflation, and that resulted in a high COLA, and then those benefits affect the solvency of the [Social Security] trust fund,” Swagel said, adding, “On net, it led to a deterioration in the system, and that moves our exhaustion date just forward one year.”
As recently as December, the CBO projected that Social Security funds would hit zero in 2033.
While Swagel said there would be a 20 percent cut to benefits if funds ran out, that is just one possible outcome. If funds ran dry, two federal laws would conflict with each other, and it is not clear how the situation would be resolved, according to the CRS report.
Under one law, beneficiaries are legally entitled to their full payments and could sue the government for them. But under another law, the Social Security Administration would be barred from paying out money that it does not have.
If benefits were cut by about 20 percent, the share of benefits required to be cut would keep growing, reaching 26 percent by 2096, according to the CRS report.

There are situations in life when there is no confidence in the potency and need to quickly increase the potency. Can be used as a natural methods of increase potency, and various drugs to increase potency. These two methods have their pros and cons that will help solve a Coca of methods to choose from.
Unfortunately, the potency depends on the General condition of the body and therefore increase the potency of natural means is not a short term procedure. But nature gave to men substances that are capable of quite a short period of time to provide men a stimulating effect. These substances are called aphrodisiacs. Has both male female aphrodisiacs. The male aphrodisiac is the best way to increase potency and libido.
Garlic, onion, celery, parsley, dill, oysters, mussels, ginger, dates, honey, ginseng, horseradish, eggs are natural aphrodisiacs and to promote increased sexual activity and desires.
Very effective and fast effective natural remedy to enhance sexual performance can be called a mixture of nuts with honey. The recipe is simple: grind the walnuts (can be mixed with other types of nuts) as small as possible and fill with honey. Take 3-4 hours before bedtime.
Another all-natural method enhance potency are special exercises. These exercises are designed to increase circulation in the pelvic organs, and is aimed at training of special potency muscle – pubococcygeus muscle.
Conclusion: to achieve instant increase potency only by using special preparations. Natural methods of male enhancement require a certain amount of time.
Quality food – the way to the heart of every man. The validity of this phrase confirms you not only a nutritionist, but a therapist. The food, chosen in the correct combinations, allow not only to diversify the family table. Some of them improve the potency of men and are used to increase the content in blood of testosterone.
Products that increase potency in men, has long been known, so one can only recall the ancient science of cooking a love of food.
About what foods increase the potency, and will be discussed. However, I would just list them, and to help understand why this is happening. So that the knowledge of certain rules allowed us to go from learning unnecessary details.
Is there a single diet for men? Products that increase potency in men, can affect various organs and systems, without which the normal sex would be impossible. What kind of system it?
The most sensitive sexual area to the condition of the heart and blood vessels. The accumulation of plaques on the walls of blood vessels in atherosclerosis, the differential pressure hypertension and hypotension, heart problems cause a lot of problems to men during intimacy. Therefore, a diet that promotes the health of the male cardiovascular system, helps to increase the potency. Best food and best products for this purpose – fish and seafood, red and green tea, tonic tea with ginseng or rhodiola pink.
As you know, the diet allows to normalize the level of male hormones in the male body. Therefore, products that increase the potency, may contain the essential for testosterone production material. For example, a diet that includes celery, spinach.
Fatigue, stress, competition at work, children's fears and other external factors significantly reduce men's sexual activity. But there are products that increase the potency, food that acts on the nervous system, calming or exciting. These include spices, aromatic oils, spices, almonds, tea with ginger or cardamom.
Overeating, chronic diseases of the stomach and intestines are always on the potency negatively. Quality food is much more important than a hearty and rich. Sufficient fiber in the diet, green tea to support the liver, nuts and honey to improve potency – an excellent way to preserve men's health.
Food which contains a lot of antioxidants, also positively influences mens force. This is due to the comprehensive beneficial effect on the body, it ne aging. Pumpkin juice, carrots, honey, green tea, fruits, nuts, which contain large amounts of vitamins, is also products to increase potency.
Most experts recommend that men med to increase potency. However, I must say that it is in the required quantities can only those who have no allergies to this product. Its beneficial properties have long been known, and a sweet dish containing nuts, herbal tea with honey – known male aphrodisiac.
The second component of the mixture is designed to increase virility, nuts and seeds. Food for men should contain the most useful of these – walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts (ground nuts), almonds, pistachios, pumpkin and sunflower seeds (they recommend eating germinaverit). Orekhovo-honey mixture you need to eat 2-3 hours before bedtime. Well to add a bit of prunes.
Prunes and dates – the fruit, are very useful to increase male potency, regulates the level of the testosterone. For this to occur, natural fruits and vegetables (especially turnips, carrots, watermelons), improves peristalsis and contain the necessary to improve male potency vitamins, you need to eat daily. To preserve health and strength, include in your daily diet:
Useful for improving the potency of fresh herbs, onions and garlic. They are able to lead to higher levels of testosterone, to improve the condition of blood vessels. Food containing large amounts of garlic, onions, parsley, spinach or celery is a great tool to improve the health of the male body and enhance erection. Special garlic tincture, which is taken daily with milk or yogurt, and a salad with eggs and onion – a popular means stronger erections and positively affect testosterone levels.
Meat, fish and eggs are also products that increase the potency. The high protein content in them stimulates the production of sperm, and cholesterol is involved in the regulation of testosterone levels. However, should not be abused chicken eggs – it is recommended to eat no more than 3-4 units a week. Quail eggs to eat every day in the amount of two pieces.
The most useful varieties of fish that are recommended to use regularly males are mackerel and flounder. It is important to know what seafood is most useful in cooked form.
Among the useful products that can improve male libido are:
To improve palatability it is recommended to eat fennel, coriander, cumin or fennel that stimulate the production of testosterone. Cheese diet does not include cheese, it is supplemented by green tea.
Curiously, many of these products that affect the increase in male potency, as well as nuts, fruits and spices is the diet that has long been used in southern countries. And they are famous for these men, as well as centenarians. These countries have a culture of eating: food of their inhabitants consists of light products, not enable men to gain weight, and maintain healthy levels of testosterone in their body.
The habit of eating often and little is in any case useful. The Mediterranean diet is a selection of cheeses, olives, fruits and boiled vegetables, and also refined Oriental diet full of spices, green tea with ginger, nuts and honey as a sweet food... This food is a great way to keep male health and enhance erections and provide increased potency.
The desire of every man is to have excellent health. Unfavorable ecological environment, the frantic pace of life, permanent psychological distress, stress is able to unsettle even physically healthy representative of the strong half. How to avoid such a fate? To prevent the negative consequences associated with deterioration in sexual features, special attention must be given to the diet men. Products that increase potency, it should be mandatory.
Diet healthy men should be diverse. It should include foods that contain calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium. Together with them the body must act in the required amount of animal and vegetable proteins, fats of natural origin, a carbohydrate, stronger erections.
Experts recommend to carefully calculate the daily ration and diet, this will allow to fully meet the daily energy needs of the body.
Food that consumes, the representative of the stronger sex, must be fortified. Essential vitamins for normal potency: A, C, E, D. In winter, it makes sense to take vitamin supplements. A positive impact on the potency of vitamins B5 and B6. They help the body cope with stress, regulate the balance of hormones. Foods rich in these vitamins to include in the diet is required.
Is also indispensable in the diet of men and aphrodisiacs. They contain zinc, needed to produce male sex hormones and sperm, increases libido hormone – dopamine. Not to be redundant and foods rich in antioxidants and alkaloid — theobromines. They are responsible for the feeling of love.
Many men wonder: what foods increase the potency? A lot of them. Nuts, fruits, vegetables, meat, sweets, honey, seafood, fish, greens, milk, sour cream, cheese — main sources of trouble-free erection. They must be regularly consumed to maintain a normal tone. Consider in more detail the impact of particular product groups on the potency.
No less important in the diet men and protein foods. Sexual strength of males increases meat, so the diet must be present often enough. Not less useful to fish. They increase erection several times.
The most "loving" a fish is mackerel. It contains minerals that increase excitability, and vitamin E, responsible for the production of testosterone – the primary male hormone. It is advisable to eat boiled fish.
To diversify the diet of men should also vegetables. They miracula affect sexual strength. Potatoes, turnips, onions, mushrooms, carrots — vegetables that enhance the potency. They stimulate the libido because they have a special amino acid composition, has a beneficial effect on the sexual capabilities of men. An excellent stimulator is the dandelion. Add it to vegetable salads. It is rich in minerals and proteins.
Beneficial effects on sexual performance of men have such foods as flounder, salmon, mackerel, shrimp, squid, and crayfish. They contain selenium and zinc – essential minerals that affect the sexual function of every man and ensuring sexual health.
Seafood is the main source of not only vitamins and minerals but essential fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, involved in the biosynthesis of testosterone. The oysters contain a lot of zinc, which is responsible for the production of sperm and male sex hormones. They guarantee the highest possible "loving" and reliable potency.
Mussels are not inferior in their characteristics and capabilities of oysters. They improve erectile function due to its beneficial properties. They are rich in zinc – a major component of the smooth features, but a rare amino acid that activates the production of sex hormones.
To achieve maximum effect, you should eat shellfish raw, because during heat treatment a significant part of minerals and protein is lost.

The US Navy’s MQ-25 Stingray unmanned air-to-air refuelling system successfully passed fuel to a manned F/A-18F Super Hornet for the first time on June 4.
The refuelling was conducted by Boeing’s T1 test air vehicle using a hose and drogue pod system. Before the successful hook-up and offload, the T1 air vehicle had flown 25 test flights since its first flight in September 2019 to validate its aerodynamics and flight envelope.
Boeing was awarded the MQ-25 Stingray contract in August 2018, and is manufacturing a seven test articles which will be delivered to the US Navy from next year.
“This team of professionals was integral in the successful flight,” the US Navy’s Program Executive Officer for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons, Rear Adm Brian Corey said in a June 7 statement. “Over the next few years, we will work side-by-side with Boeing to deliver this capability that will greatly enhance the future carrier air wing.”
Leanne Caret, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, added, “This history-making event is a credit to our joint Boeing and Navy team that is all-in on delivering MQ-25’s critical aerial refueling capability to the fleet as soon as possible. Their work is the driving force behind the safe and secure integration of unmanned systems in the immediate future of defense operations.”
The MQ-25 is planned to have a reported offload capability of 15,000lbs of fuel at a range of 250km from a carrier, giving outbound or returning combat aircraft greater range and mission flexibility, while also freeing-up Super Hornets currently used for the refuelling mission.

14 man Wexford triumph and Limerick's wait for glory continues.
Limerick got the better start to the 1996 All Ireland Hurling Final and led by three points until the 19th minute. Tom Dempsey pulled on a loose ball and drove it to the net to give Wexford the only goal of the game. Now the sides were level and when Wexford's Eamonn Scallan was sent off for wild pull just before half time, Limerick fans must have been thinking that just maybe this could be their year. Yet it was fourteen man Wexford who adapted best and Tom Dempsey got the last score of the first half to put his side ahead at the break 1-08 to 0-10.
Limerick failed to adjust to the numerical advantage and would only score four points in the second half with two of those coming in the closing minutes. Tenacious defending and taking the chances when they came saw Wexford through to take the Liam McCarthy cup for the first time since 1968.
The final score was Wexford 1-13 Limerick 0-14.
Highlights shown here are taken from the Sunday Game broadcast on 1 September 1996. The commentator is Ger Canning.

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) occurs most commonly in duodenal bulb (duodenal ulcer, DU) and stomach (gastric ulcer, GU). It may also occur in esophagus, pyloric channel, duodenal loop, jejunum, and Meckel’s diverticulum. PUD results when “aggressive” factors (gastric acid, pepsin) overwhelm “defensive” factors involved in mucosal resistance (gastric mucus, bicarbonate, microcirculation, prostaglandins, mucosal “barrier”) and from effects of Helicobacter pylori.
H. pylori is a spiral urease-producing organism that colonizes gastric antral mucosa in up to 100% of persons with DU and 80% with GU. It is also found in normals (increasing prevalence with age) and in those of low socioeconomic status. H. pylori is invariably associated with histologic evidence of active chronic gastritis, which over years can lead to atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer. The other major cause of ulcers (those not due to H. pylori) is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Fewer than 1% are due to gastrinoma (Zollinger-Ellison [Z-E] syndrome). Other risk factors and associations: hereditary (? increased parietal cell number), smoking, hypercalcemia, mastocytosis, blood group O (antigens may bind H. pylori). Unproven: stress, coffee, alcohol.
Mild gastric acid hypersecretion resulting from (1) increased release of gastrin, presumably due to (a) stimulation of antral G cells by cytokines released by inflammatory cells and (b) diminished production of somatostatin by D cells, both resulting from H. pylori infection; and (2) an exaggerated acid response to gastrin due to an increased parietal cell mass resulting from gastrin stimulation. These abnormalities reverse rapidly with eradication of H. pylori. However, a mildly elevated maximum gastric acid output in response to exogenous gastrin persists in some pts long after eradication of H. pylori, suggesting that gastric acid hypersecretion may be, in part, genetically determined. H. pylori may also result in elevated serum pepsinogen levels. Mucosal defense in duodenum is compromised by toxic effects of H. pylori infection on patches of gastric metaplasia that result from gastric acid hypersecretion or rapid gastric emptying. Other risk factors include glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, chronic renal failure, renal transplantation, cirrhosis, and chronic lung disease.
H. pylori is also principal cause. Gastric acid secretory rates are usually normal or reduced, possibly reflecting earlier age of infection by H. pylori than in DU pts. Gastritis due to reflux of duodenal contents (including bile) may play a role. Chronic salicylate or NSAID use may account for 15–30% of GUs and increase risk of associated bleeding, perforation.

2014 Missouri Legislative Session Recap Discussion
With the 2014 Missouri legislative session at an end, St. Louis Public Radio reporters Jo Mannies, Dale Singer and Marshall Griffin discussed the results with St. Louis on the Air host Don Marsh and University of Missouri-St. Louis political science professor Terry Jones.
The first topic of discussion was the tax cut bill. Nixon vetoed the bill, but was overridden by the Republican-led state house and senate.
“That means that the state is going to have much less reliance on income taxes over the next 6 to 8 years, and when the provisions are fully in effect that means $600 to $700 million less coming from income taxes into the state treasury,” said Jones. “It doubles down on the economic development philosophy that low tax low service is the way to increase the number of jobs in the state. It’s a dubious proposition but it’s one that’s public policy in Missouri.”
The Republicans were the big winners for the session, said statehouse reporter Marshall Griffin.
“But they had to do a little bit of horse trading to advance two of their priorities,” he said. In order to pass their version of the early voting bill and the bill requiring a 72 hour waiting period before abortions, the Republicans gave up the paycheck protection bill and the voter ID bill.
In a news conference Friday, Governor Nixon focused on the tax cut bill and the tax break bills the legislature passed in a flurry earlier that day.
“You got a glimpse of the old Nixon from twenty-five years ago, the hothead,” said political reporter Jo Mannies when describing the conference. Mannies also noted that the actions of both Nixon and many of the legislators were motivated in part by political aspirations. See her story on the conference for more.
Education reporter Dale Singer outlined the possible next steps for the school transfer bill, now that both houses of the state legislature have approved it. If Nixon vetoes the bill, he could call for a special session to rewrite the bill.
State legislators also approved funding for preschool and struck down common core standards for the state, instead requiring the state to come up with its own standards. For more on the education bills of note, see Singer’s latest article on the topic.
Other issues discussed during the show included the revised criminal code, the abundance of ballot initiatives that will go before voters in November, and the two gun bills proposed during the session (only the ballot issue affirming the right to bear arms passed).

81. There’s a lot of variation in this piece which makes it appealing to the casual observer. There’s a keen sense of continuity in the art. The bird has such a vivid appearance that makes it real looking. The attention to it’s detail in every feather is done really well. The way that the branches swerve all around makes it appear less life like but very interesting.

Decide if you want a black and white tat or one filled with color. Take all of your ideas to your preferred tattoo artist and ask them to draw something for you. A great artist will be able to take your ideas and incorporate them into a fantastic piece.

Review by Rusty W. Spell
No matter what they say, I still associate the title with the author, Herman Melville. You can have your pedal steel guitar guy and all, but I have too much of the literary and seafaring life in me, and I choose to be stubborn. Maybe it's because I finished reeling in Moby-Dick about the time I got this album.
This isn't my favorite album cover, not that it's bad (can Martin do bad?). The word "dull" comes to mind, but I refuse to use it (especially since I saw the full "letterboxed" version on Double Live and it's anything but dull). DaveB's picture is nice, Martin's is good but too dark. I wish DaveC's wasn't at the drums: Drummers like me and Dave have the right to be away from the set once in a while. And Tim's picture is nice; I always wonder where rock stars get their T-shirts.
I wish that they would have included song credits in this one. They have in the other major albums. At least we got lyrics.
Overall, Melville to me acts as the transition between Greatest Hits and Whale Music (which only makes sense, I reckon), leaning more toward the latter musically. Lots of it to do with Michael Phillip-Wojewoda. I think they realize by now that they are--as Bidini writes--altering the everyday mindset of music-lovers... at least the ones they can get to.
Yes, where Greatest Hits is tolerable to folks who listen to "normal" music, Melville and onward takes a different sort. My dad shut it off while riding in my car and said, "Sorry... I just can't take that anymore." There's his review.
"Record Body Count" is interesting because it's a true story (except for the death bit, of course, and Joey still lives on in at least two more songs afterwards anyway).
I think Martin's infatuated with aliens (aliens and monkeys). In a healthy way, though; I don't picture him as an X-Files addict or anything. At any rate "Aliens" is great, and it was cool to hear it sung in Polish once.
"Northern Wish" is very pretty. Some of my favorite Rheos songs are when Martin sings a Dave lyric.
I admit that "Horses" is very powerful and all, and I do like it (there's no song I really dislike... kinda, well maybe), but it's not one of my favorites. I think it has something to do with the music playing second-fiddle (not quite, but almost) to the story.
"Christopher" begins Martin's infatuation with the word "it," always stressing it in songs and what-not. Of course, for some reason, I've never been able to get into the song much. I'm not sure why.
Thanks, Natalie Gillis, for translating "Chanson Les Ruelles" for me. I got all of it right except the chorus. I thought they were saying "Perhaps we'll make someone smile/mad in the United States"; I couldn't figure out which. I like the song: a clear melody indeed.
I like the Biblical stuff in "Lying's Wrong," and not just the "Biblisong #1" either. There's always--to me--this religious feel to their music.
"It." Again, the it. One of my favorite Rheos songs ever (not to mention one of my favorite songs by anyone ever) with one of my favorite passages: "I am a science boy..." etc.
"When Winter Comes" runs like an epic. I love it; kinda summarizes the band at this point. I'm not sure about "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." I give the boys credit for making such a redundant song so interesting. But I almost wish they'd have just relied on their own "Saskatchewan" to get the job done.
"You Are Very Star" is wonderful. It makes me feel pleasant, in that nursery-rhyme sort of way. When I first heard this, I went around writing the sentence on everything. I had it printed on my new batch of checks. The ending on the radio is neat and stuff, but I tend to turn it off now since it's not music. I've been waiting for a "real" version of this song for a while.
Call me Ishmael. Love, joy, peace.

Q: How do glass speakers work?
A: The glass is vibrated to resonate just like a traditional hi-fidelity cone speaker with the added
benefit of 360° surround sound. Each speaker emits sound at different levels on both sides of the glass. This creates a rich soundscape.
Q: How does Wireless Transmitter work?
A: Plug the transmitter into any amplifier’s speaker output. The Watts per Channel does not
matter since the signal is converted into digital. Each speaker has a digital amplifier that sends the signal to the glass.
Q: Do I need a power connection for each speaker?
A: Yes. Each speaker needs an outlet. Fortunately most homes and facilities have outlets every 12
feet or closer by local construction code.

For some time we have dreamed of putting something back into the harp world and encouraging the next generation of harpists to champion chamber music in the way that we have tried to. It hasn't been easy competing against the established and accepted (more traditional) string quartets and piano trios. We have always had to battle against the (incorrect) perception that a harp quartet won't sell and won't be able to provide the musical quality that the promoter needs to bring to their audience. We like to think that our staying power over the last 15 years proves this to be otherwise, and the sold out concerts and standing ovations definitively show that audiences like, and more importantly, enjoy what we do.
We want to continue to bring the harp to the forefront of British chamber music, and this competition is our way of doing so. There are two separate competitions: one for Young Professionals, and one for under-18s. Each competition is then split into two categories: multiple harps, and harps with other instruments. The final of the competition is on Sunday, 14 June 2015 at Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre, Surrey. Whilst the prizes of course include some cash, we have focussed our attention on providing recital opportunities for the winning ensembles. As an up-and-coming group, the most useful thing we were given was the chance to perform in public: not only is it invaluable concert platform experience and a chance to hone musical (and performing) skills, it is also a chance to showcase to other concert promoters and meet valuable industry contacts.
We hope to see a real variety of entries and look forward to discovering some new and unusual pieces. We are also working on a resource providing information on sourcing original pieces for varying combinations of instruments, with a focus on British works.

Farmers might want to brace themselves for another volatile week in the grain markets as the trade absorbs Monday’s Crop Progress report showing corn 30% planted, watches the hedge funds’ decisions, and keeps an eye on the weather in South America.
“I think (it) will be a transition week where we’ll be basically trading (and) looking for weather and guidance from the weather market,” said Farm Journal Economist Bob Utterback, speaking on U.S. Farm Report on Saturday.
In South America, the forecast currently calls for drier weather in Argentina, where rain has flooded soybean fields, and some much-needed rain in Brazil for the safrina corn crop.
But the market remains a concerned. Futures prices for May through January soybeans gained between 12 cents and 14 cents on Monday, closing just shy of the psychologically important $10 mark at $9.9975 for May beans and $9.9775 for November beans. Corn, too, moved up between 4 and 7 cents to close at $3.77 for May corn futures and $3.8775 for December futures.
Higher-than-expected demand for soybeans are providing price support.
“China’s imports in the month of March were up 36%,” said Doug Werling of Bower Trading, also speaking on U.S. Farm Report. “From January to March, they were up almost 4%. Last fall, that wasn’t supposed to happen.”
But China’s population continues to grow, despite slower economic growth. “They have 1.37 billion people in China. That’s up 33.8 million people since 2010,” Werling said, noting that the country also recently dropped their decades-old one-child policy. “That’s a demand base that’s still growing. No matter what the economy is globally, people need to eat and they need protein. That is a great underlying factor to support markets going forward. And, when you get supply adversity, you’ll see these big shifts like we just did.”
He noted how analysts are already adjusting their soybean carryover estimates in response to the potential production losses in Argentina, currently estimated at $1.3 million worth of soybeans.
“Just a week ago, most analysts were using a 450-million bushel carryout,” Werling said. “Now they’re talking 350 million bushels, and I’ve seen USDA for the last 10 years understate our demand every year.”
These market moves represent a significant opportunity for growers during financially challenging times, and Utterback urged farmers to take advantage of them to make this year pencil out without pain.
“While it’s positive in the short term, I think you have to start thinking about (how) with carry and spreads, you can lock in some $4 or even $4.25 and higher for summer 2017 corn prices if you use the spreads,” he said. “Now you can start paying for those high cash rents. It’s the time to really get prepared to take advantage of any rally between now and summer to basically aggressively lock in your profits.”

Following a winter storm on Friday, Jan. 6 and a weekend full of below-freezing temperatures, both Hoover City Schools and Shelby County Schools have decided to alter their schedules for Monday, Jan. 9.
After a review of road conditions and consultation with first responders and Shelby County EMA, Shelby County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay. Bus schedules will also operate on a two-hour delay, according to the Shelby County Schools website.
Hoover City Schools will be closed for students on Jan. 9. The decision to close schools for students was made following a consultation with EMA official and the City of Hoover as well as a review of roads leading to and from school campuses, according to the Hoover City Schools website.
"Despite street sanding and other efforts to clear roadways, several hazardous areas remain on neighborhood streets from Bluff Park to Greystone," read an update on the Hoover City Schools website.
While Hoover schools will be closed for students, 12-month employees should report to work by 10 a.m. on Jan. 9.


Howell's School, Denbigh: Head wins unfair dismissal case
A head teacher and his partner sacked by a private girls' school have won their claims for unfair dismissal.
Bernie Routledge was suspended and later sacked as head of Howells in Denbigh for alleged "inappropriate" conduct with pupils on Facebook.
Helen Price claimed she lost her job as head of PE and pastoral care because of her association with Mr Routledge.
A tribunal in Shrewsbury said there was no evidence of conduct justifying the dismissals and found in their favour.
Trustees Robbie and Nicola Locke suspended Mr Routledge because of concerns over his conduct and communication with pupils on a Facebook page, The Bernie Routledge Appreciation Society.
He was sacked after a disciplinary hearing carried out by Mr Locke's brother. Ms Price was also eventually dismissed for misconduct.
She told the hearing she had a good working relationship with the Lockes until January 2011, but her treatment after that was "disgusting and very, very unfair".
An employment tribunal panel said that there was no evidence of conduct in either case that would justify dismissal.
Panel chairman John Thomas concluded that both Mr Routledge and Ms Price had been unfairly dismissed and had suffered detriment as a result.
He said the school had not proved the reasons for dismissing the pair.
In Ms Price's case, the chairman said there was no evidence that she had done anything wrong in her role as head of PE and pastoral care, and the panel had found no kind of blameworthy conduct.
He rejected the claim by Robbie and Nicola Locke that there had been a breakdown in trust and confidence through the fault of the complainant.
In Mr Routledge's case, Mr Thomas said: "We do not think the claimant was dismissed for misconduct. We think there has been a non-admissible reason."
He added: "His style of teaching clearly didn't match the aspirations of the respondent. But wearing a Hawaiian shirt and pink socks is not misconduct."
He described the way the disciplinary procedure had been handled as "cack-handed" and "chaotic", saying the panel felt the dismissals were as a result of issues raised by Mr Routledge regarding the conduct of a member of staff who was a good friend of the Lockes.
The Facebook issue could have been dealt with by a "firm tap on the wrist" and being told not to do it again, he said.
Mr Thomas added: "It would not amount to conduct that would justify dismissal."
All claims for both complainants were successful.
Mr Routledge said they had been "totally vindicated" and that he was "absolutely delighted" by the findings.
The panel will consider issues of loss of earnings later on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Howell's School, Denbigh, said: "Our over-riding priority at all times is to provide a safe environment for our girls and we do have strict child protection and social networking policies in place for their protection.
"The school does not tolerate misconduct in relation to the safeguarding of children and acted accordingly to dismiss the staff concerned and, while we accept we may not have followed the correct procedure, we still stand by our action and will be considering an appeal.
"We are in loco parentis and we take our responsibilities very seriously. We therefore acted quickly and decisively - we did the right thing for the right reason and we have been contacted by parents who fully support what we have done."

Medical advancement stomps on. This week, Genetics takes front stage.
Really, it’s cool. I know; I was a skeptic too. That is, until I read this most amazing paper on the real-life clinical utility of knowing the whole genome of a person. It felt like peering into the future of medicine.
Background from the real world:
Both patients have “the look” of fitness. Despite their fifty or so birthdays, their faces are lean and chiseled, like those of the high school cross country runner. Underneath the grey hair on their chests are youthful sinewy muscles, devoid of the usual middle age softness. As we talk, they sit upright on the edge of their chair listening for clues to the holy-grail of Cardiology: the prediction and prevention of cardiac events.
One has had a cardiac stent, and the other a sibling who died of sudden death from a heart attack. Since these seminal events, both of these patients have embraced the heart-healthy program. They exercise furiously, eat a Mediterranean diet, take statins, fish oil and CoQ-10. Both could be poster-boys for the AHA program.
“What else can I do,” they each ask? There must be more tests, or more therapy, or more certainty.
But no matter how vigorous the search for answers, certainty in predicting cardiac events is like the asymptote–it gets close, but never intersects. As a pragmatist, and a doctor who sees the forest rather than the trees, I offer that in 2010, there is little else to test for that would convey any more useful clinical relevance. “Keep going as you are, but don’t forget to enjoy the journey along the way. Two or three M+Ms or a light beer once a year is probably ok,” I add with a grin.
Here comes the part where genetics gets us closer to knowing and shaping the future…
As reported comprehensively at CardioBrief (original study published in Lancet), researchers from Stanford and MGH were able to glean real clinical utility from an integrated analysis of a complete human genome. The patient was real. He was an asymptomatic forty year old man with a strong family history of heart disease and sudden death. By looking at millions of his AT-CG pairs the researchers were able to identify strikingly pertinent clinical issues, like predispositions to disease and markers of drug metabolism. Like my two patients, he exercised regularly, and other than osteo-arthritis, he had no manifestations of any ongoing disease. Yet, analysis of his genome revealed: genes that predisposed to coronary artery disease, Type II Diabetes, and some forms of cancer. There were three variants associated with the risk of sudden death, a Lp(a) variant associated with lipid abnormalities and familial coronary artery disease.
In addition to these disease-predicting gene variants, this patient also had highly relevant genetic information on how he would interact with future pharmacologic treatments. His personal genome revealed a possible resistance to clopidogrel (Plavix), an important blood thinner. (Knowing a patient may be resistant to a specific drug might become a highly important issue in the future.) Also, he had DNA that suggested a favorable response–or lack of muscle side effects–from statins. If warfarin was ever needed in the future, his genes suggested he would require a lower than usual dose.
As if all this information wasn’t enough, he even had a gene for arthritis, which ran in his family, and indeed he had a sore knee for years.
These revelations are astounding. Genetic analysis with this kind of clinical specificity will likely change how we diagnosis present conditions, predict future events, and in many cases, may even allow for a-priori adjustment of important pharmacologic therapy.
Is this too much information? As outlined in an accompanying editorial, the ethical permutations are numerous.
“Even if the direct cost of sequencing whole-individual genomes becomes affordable, there are many practical challenges that will need to be overcome if the personal genome is going to enter clinical practice. Arguably of greater importance are ethical issues: who should have their genome sequenced, what counselling should be provided before and after testing and by whom, and who should have access to an individualâ€™s genetic information. Whereas these issues are familiar in genetic testing, the scale of the data contained within each personal genome, and the potential implication for so many different aspects of an individualâ€™s health (and the health of their relatives), mean that these issues will need to be even more carefully considered (and legislated on where necessary) to prevent misuse.”
What about the cost of counseling a patient on each of these 100 or so gene variants? Many patients with AF already worry too much. We can now add to that spreadsheet log of AF episodes, a 100-point list of clinically relevant gene variants. Ouch.
Although widespread application of this whole genome sequencing is futuristic, just this past month I sent a patient for genetic testing. The patient was very young, had a strong family history of sudden death, and had significant abnormalities on the ECG. Genetic analysis revealed a novel mutation in an important cardiac K+ channel. Sure, a decision to recommend lifelong therapy with an implanted ICD could have been made without the genetic analysis, but having DNA evidence of disease is reassuring to both the patient and doctor.
Knowledge is good, but dealing with the complexities of knowing our DNA is going to get complicated.
To quote a famous retired basketball player, “I may be wrong, but I doubt it,” I predict we will be hearing much more about this important study in the years to come.
