Loose Bolt Base
I have successfully assembled my first bike and tuned it and everything in good order... that was until I tried unscrewing the bolts for attaching my water bottle holder (in the bottom base). This one particular bolt, when unscrewed, nothing happens and the bolt does not loosen up. Instead, the base of the bolt turns with it and slightly scratching the frame.
Is there a way to unscrew this hex bolt . I have newbiecally tried adding some lube and then clamping the side of this slightly raised base but to no avail, the bolt won't budge and the base still turns with the bolt.
Note: the hex of the bolt is not stripped.
Thanks to whoever answers
I'm not exactly sure how to get the bolt out of the frame, if it's spinning in the base. I would probably try some kind of locking pliers, like Vice Grips, but that could destroy the boss.
I saw this video a couple of days ago. It shows how to tighten the loose mount in the frame, once you get the bolt out. It's not a solution to your immediate problem, but it might show you a little more about what's going on.

Yes, you have a loose rivet-nut. That's unfortunate. There's no easy way to go about "fixing" this except with some cutting and patience.
The first order of business is to get the water bottle bolt out. If you can get your hands on a dremel tool, you'll need to slowly start cutting the edges of the head off. What you are trying to do is relieve the pressure between the head and the surface of the rivet-nut. Additionally, you're wanting to reduce the friction between the bolt and the insert. So after you've got most of the bolt head removed, you'll be able to spray some a lube to hopefully allow the bolt to unscrew. So with the reduced friction from the head and thread lube in, you should be able to just unscrew the bolt using a vice grip or a tool like that. Like I said, this is going to take a bunch of time and patience. Once you get the bolt out, you'll be able to re-seat the rivet-nut using the link above.
A long shot -- glue it to the frame. Let some Cyanacrilyc (crazy glue) flow down between the frame and the rivet nut. Be careful not to get it on the threads of the bolt!
Let the glue dry a long time. It will be hard to get it to set on a metal-to-metal surface. Breathing on it will help (moisture causes it to set). If you want to give yourself the best shot, go to a hobby shop that caters to model airplanes and get some "CA Kicker".
The surfaces have to be oil-free of course. So lube it after the glue sets.
If you get the screw out, proceed to Authalic's video.
I think Sanchez's recommendation should not be taken lightly!
If it's a new frame this is exactly what I'd do. No sense in fussing with it if it's under warranty.

Morton County violated civil rights of activist: A bogus warrant and a night in jail
By Brenda Norrell
MANDAN, North Dakota -- Greg Grey Cloud, Lakota, is free after spending a night in Morton County Jail, when a misdemeanor warrant was suddenly changed to a warrant with no bond. The State of North Dakota and Morton County violated his civil rights.
Greg was charged with criminal trespass for Sept. 3 (the day that the dogs attacked the water protectors.) The bogus warrant was not issued until Sept. 15.
Greg said he was not present on Sept. 3. He turned himself in, in order to clear the matter up with the court. When he arrived, he was told there was no bond on this warrant and he was forced to spend the night in jail.
The charge is a misdemeanor.
Then, the Morton County Jail left Greg in a small, cold interview room until 4 a.m., after an interview with an attorney.
Today, the charge was dropped against Greg, but with the threat by the court that it could be refiled.
Greg spent the night in jail, where twenty-one water protectors were jailed, after being arrested on Wednesday by police who burst on the scene with shotguns and assault rifles loaded, and armored vehicles.
Native American women, children and elderly, and allies, were in prayer for the water and protection of the burial places, at a work site of Dakota Access Pipeline.
Although the media has misled the public into believing that DAPL halted worked on the pipeline, DAPL has instead continued work at an accelerated speed, ignoring an order of the court to halt.
A court order from the DC Court of Appeals issued on September 16, 2016 states that DAPL is to stop all construction in a 20 mile buffer on both sides of the Missouri River.
The State of North Dakota, and Morton County Sheriff's Office, have refused to enforce the federal court order to halt construction.
Greg is an advocate for missing and murdered women. Please share your support with him.
Decolonize your minds.
No justice, no peace.
You are Stronger now everyday. Sacred. medicines. first, elders speak. the way. U R Loved.
Do the NORTH DAKOTA jailers allow any indigenous to sing sacred songs and dances or other freedom of religion activities in jail? Like smudging or visits from spiritual helpers ?
In body there that can help the poor people? No money for ramen noodles, socks, soap, stamps,paper,envelopes,phone..
Does the prosecutor Up the charges so people have to pay more then plea bargain ?
By "refile the charges" is that a threat ? (Since the charges were false to begin with).
Is the State of North Dakota planning on harassing Native Americans in the future if a water protector? Like hidden threat,"when this is all over, we'll get you one dark night"?
Don't they see it will never be over? Because noone is going back to being a victim of abuse or police/prosecution/system violence from now on!!
No more lies.
Like Dr Martin Luther King jr said, "Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, I'm free at last!".

Anybody got any video proof that they are still working on DAPL in defiance of the court order? If so, spit it up so the feds can go after them. Don't need to trespass to get the video, use a drone - we've got the tech, let's use it against them!
Myron Dewey posted a drone video on Facebook that shows that DAPL is working within the buffer zone, 20 miles on each side of the river, where the DC court ordered work halted.
Morton county and the law there are doing a great job of looking like lackeys doing the bidding of big oil. These are public servants being paid tax-payers money while doing their best to help the DAPL schemers get everything they want even if it is illegal. If that means trampling over an individual's civil rights then that's just fine isn't it/ NO! it most definately is not.
The Sheriff's Office and the State of North Dakota need to generate a good deal more respect for sacred sites and civil rights. All the best to the folks at Standing Rock.

BUD IGNITOR 250ML ADVANCED NUTRIENTS
Bud Ignitor is a very powerful Advanced Nutrients flowering stimulator; it is able to “triple” the number of flowers that the plant produces, increasing the number of nodes from which the buds and subsequently the flowers develop.
All this happens thanks to the action of Bud Ignitor that manages to create an accumulation of potassium and phosphorus, the main elements used by the plant for a healthy and incredibly lush flowering.
Helps the plant assimilate more phosphorus and potassium for flowering
Just to get an idea: instead of seeing only 25 to 55% of the nodes of the branches turn into flowers, you will see 65 to 97% of the nodes show small buds, and all this in a much shorter time. On average you will get 27% more buds per plant. The buds will then evolve into floral structures much denser than normal. Not only will you get more flowers, you will also save time, the buds, in fact, sprout faster (19% more) than normal.

the top and bottom r concaving.
and the sides r doing it as well.
thescreen also changes ratio on its own.
if im watching a movie and turn the surround sound on, the sound level jumps. does any body have any ideas?
If your RCA is a CRT based rear projector it has either in a service menu or on the circuit board adjustments for convergence and pincushion which are a real pain to adjust. Could also be a power supply problem.
The "surround sound" setting on the TV could do many things ie volume, tone,etc to the sound except make real surround sound.

Are you ready to fly! – Jet Fuel Analysis by GC-VUV is about to take off
Sep 24 2019 Read 1624 Times
Author: Tom Lynch on behalf of Tom Lynch - Independent Analytical Consultant
The Standard Test Method for Determination of Saturated Hydrocarbon, Aromatic, and Diaromatic Content of Aviation Turbine Fuels Using Gas Chromatography with Vacuum Ultraviolet Absorption Spectroscopy Detection (GC-VUV) ASTM D8267 (1) was recently published by ASTM as an official test method for the measurements of saturate, aromatic, and diaromatic content in aviation turbine fuels. The method has better correlation to the referee method for aromatics and diaromatics than any of the alternatives including SFC and HPLC with precision on average 5 to 10 times better than comparable ASTM methods. It requires no sample preparation or calibration, is automated, fast (14 minutes run time) and has one of the lowest costs of ownership per sample. In this article we look at the application and benefits of VUV spectroscopy for hydrocarbon type analysis for fuels in general and for aromatics in aviation turbine fuels in particular.
Why is Hydrocarbon Type Analysis so Important for Fuels?
Traditional crude oil derived gasoline and middle distillate fuels like kerosene, diesel and jet fuel are complex mixtures of hydrocarbon molecules which can be broadly classified by their structures such as normal paraffins, iso-paraffins, olefins, naphthenes and aromatics. These chemical types and their relative concentrations are important in determining the performance and stability of the fuels in use. For example, it has been shown that aromatics in jet fuel have an impact on the fine particle emissions and that the amount of sediment formed in fuels as a result of oxidation depends to a considerable extent on the concentration and structure of the aromatic hydrocarbon types present. Aromatics and iso-paraffins are used to increase octane number whereas olefins and diolefins have been linked to the formation of gums and varnishes which can lead to unwanted effects such as deposition in car filters, distribution lines, engine components and also the formation of sludge in engine oil. As a result, many fuel specifications, standards and standard methods have been developed for hydrocarbon type analysis over the years.
GC-FID and its limitations for Hydrocarbon Type Analysis
At a GC Symposium held in the fall of 1958 in Leipzig Denis Desty at British Petroleum was the first to report publicly on a gas chromatograph incorporating a capillary column and a flame ionisation detector (FID) for the analysis of hydrocarbon samples and since then this has been the technique of choice in the petroleum industry for the detailed molecular characterization of complex hydrocarbon samples such as gasoline and middle distillate fuels like diesel, kerosene and jet fuels.
The reason for this was the high resolving power of capillary GC, which allowed the identification of the compound based on retention time indices, combined with the high sensitivity, broad linear dynamic range and the relatively uniform response to hydrocarbons of the FID detector.
However, the FID did have some drawbacks in that although the response is generally proportional to the mass of carbon present and was good for quantification it did not provide any information about the molecular structure and therefore the hydrocarbon type being detected. Therefore GC-FID methods for Hydrocarbon Type Analysis had to rely on either very high resolution long analysis time separations, or complex multi column switching systems and even then these were limited mainly to the gasoline boiling range. Comprehensive 2DGC with FID has been employed to extend the boiling range to middle distillates, but this has not yet found widespread application in routine petroleum analysis laboratories due to a number of factors including complexity, a range of instruments with no standard approach to modulation and also no commonly accepted protocol for data analysis and reporting software. Also, although comprehensive 2DGC does give greater resolution than single dimension separations, the detector is still the FID and therefore gives no information on molecular structure and coeluting peaks cannot be resolved.
The Power of Molecular Spectroscopy in the Vacuum Ultraviolet for Hydrocarbon Type Analysis
Molecular spectroscopy is the area of science concerned with the absorption, emission, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by molecules, which may be in the gas, liquid, or solid phase and is one of the most commonly used approaches to classifying and quantifying molecular species based on their chemical structures. Molecular spectroscopy techniques such as NMR, FTIR, and UV/Vis have long been routinely employed in laboratories for decades, but now there is a new kid on the block in Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy (VUV).
Nearly all compounds absorb in the VUV region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The high energy, short wavelength VUV photons probe electronic transitions in virtually all chemical bonds including ground state to excited state σ→σ* and π→π*. The result is spectral “fingerprints” that are specific to individual compound structure and can be readily identified by the VUV spectral library. Until recently working with VUV Spectroscopy had historically been restricted to bright source synchrotron facilities due to significant background absorption challenges, but the introduction of the first bench-top spectrometer capable of full VUV spectrum detection in 2014 by VUV Analytics has led to the technique being widely available for routine use. The introduction of the technique as an affordable detector for gas chromatography was a major step in the availability of the technique for real world applications. The unique VUV spectra enable closely related compounds such as structural isomers to be clearly differentiated and it is this feature, combined with providing spectral information that is both qualitative and quantitative for most gas phase compounds, which makes VUV Spectroscopy coupled with GC such a powerful and unique tool which is revolutionising hydrocarbon type analysis for fuels and related products.
The VUV Analyzer™ for Fuels Platform
The VUV Analyzer is a platform developed for the analysis of fuels with value, ease-of-use, and flexibility in mind. The instrumentation can run multiple fuels related methods on one VUV Analyzer and allows users to rapidly switch between different analyses using the same GC, column, detector, and software. This simplifies operation for the analyst and accelerates analysis time across methods, including gasoline (ASTM D8071), jet fuel (ASTM D8267), diesel fuel, bromine number, diene value, and non-traditional gasoline additives (NTGA) screening, to name a few. All of these are achieved by simple applying the relevant method temperature programme and selecting the proper VUV Analyzer routine. This flexibility for routine analysis is unrivalled and in addition the instrument has great potential for application in non-routine investigational analysis such as looking for, identifying and quantifying contaminants and solving quality issues throughout the fuels manufacturing and supply chains.
The graphic in Figure 1 summarises the current range of applications which have been developed, or are currently in the final stages of development, for the VUV Analyzer for Fuels™.
So What is important about Hydrocarbon Type Analysis in Aviation Turbine Fuel?
According to ASTM (1) “The determination of class group composition of aviation turbine fuels is useful for evaluating quality and expected performance, as well as compliance with various industry specifications and governmental regulations.” As mentioned earlier, the ability to accurately and precisely measure the concentration and type of aromatics present in jet fuel are not only important to meet regulatory requirements but also reduce the environmental impact and the prevention of sedimentation issues through oxidation. It has been reported that amount of sediment formed in fuels as a result of oxidation depends to a considerable extent on the concentration and structure of the aromatic hydrocarbons present in the fuels.
Why do we need a GC-VUV Method for Aviation Turbine Fuels?
The current ASTM referee method for testing aromatics in aviation turbine fuels and gasoline is ASTM D1319 -18 the Standard Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types in Liquid Petroleum Products by Fluorescent Indicator Adsorption (2). ASTM D1319 was originally developed in the early 1940s and approved as a standard method by ASTM in 1954. The method employs a calibrated glass column packed with activated silica gel topped with a mixture of fluorescent indicator dyes. The sample is adsorbed onto the silica gel and the hydrocarbon types are then eluted using alcohol. The fluorescent dyes separate selectively between the hydrocarbon types and quantification is dependent on the accuracy of identifying and recording of the fluorescent bands by eye. The method is tedious and labour intensive as sample preparation is time consuming, the chromatographic run is lengthy, and the column requires constant monitoring. Other limitations include poor reproducibility and the method is subject to operator bias as it relies on the analyst correctly identifying and physically measuring the separated bands.
Recently D1319 has come under serious scrutiny as the most recent batch of dyes is not fluorescing properly for middle distillates in the aromatics region which can make analysing jet fuel rather difficult (aromatics composing 10-25% of the total volume). Furthermore, the sole manufacturer of this dye no longer exists, and so far, the synthesis of the dye has not been successfully reproduced and the ASTM have had workgroups looking into the implications of this and proposing method modifications and developments. As a result of this activity ASTM D8267-19 (1) was approved as a standard procedure for the determination of saturated, aromatic, and diaromatic content in aviation turbine fuels. This novel method clearly demonstrates the power of molecular spectroscopy as a GC detection technique for hydrocarbon type analysis by providing a simple, automated GC analysis with minimal sample preparation in a run time of 14 minutes. At the time of writing, an updated version of the method along with its final research report, which removes references to saturates in the title and scope (as they are not in the jet fuel specification), was balloted on August 27th, 2019. Assuming no negatives that ballot will close after 30 days and the method will be approved with the permanent precision statement. After that the method will be petitioned for inclusion into ASTM D1655 which is expected to happen by the end of the year and readers are advised to consult the ASTM website regularly to ensure they are aware of the latest status.
Examples of gas phase VUV spectra for different hydrocarbon class types as shown in Figure 2, which shows that, in addition to individual components having unique compound-specific spectra providing provide excellent selectivity and unambiguous identification, the spectra demonstrate class similarities making hydrocarbon type classification a simple process.
Unlike any other technique proposed for aviation turbine fuel analysis these unique information rich spectra allow spectral deconvolution techniques to be applied to co-eluting compounds and the performance is further improved as the instrument software also uses the added time domain from the GC separation to improve performance using VUV’s patented Time Interval Deconvolution technology(3). Having spectral data is also important in the case of a query in the event of any quality disputes as the spectral data can be retrospectively interrogated in great detail to reinforce and validate the correct identification and allocation of peaks.
Also, because we are dealing with spectroscopic data quantification (governed by the Beer Lambert Law), combined with the application specific spectral libraries and compositional reporting, the instruments are in effect self-calibrated and requires no regular calibrations, (although users would be advised to run relevant check standards as part of their quality assurance programme).
Comparison of ASTM D8267-19 GC-VUV with Alternative Methods
In addition to the reference ASTM D1319 and ASTM D8267 method there are 2 other ASTM proposed methods at the time of writing: one, based on ASTM D5186 (4), employs Supercritical Fluid Chromatography with FID detection using supercritical carbon dioxide as the eluant and the other (ASTM D6379) based on normal phase HPLC with heptane as the eluant and refractive index detection (5). These both employ low resolution class type separations using retention time cut points to identify hydrocarbon class types and have no capability for spectral validation of the species measured.
Accuracy and Precision: In a correlation study, results obtained from GC-VUV (ASTM D8267), SFC and HPLC (ASTM D6379) were compared to the expected results from reference methods ASTM D1319 for Total Aromatics and ASTM D1840 (5) for Di-Aromatics. In all cases the GC-VUV method ASTM D8267 has better correlation to the referee methods than any of the alternatives.
In addition, based on an interlaboratory study (ILS) to determine repeatability (r) and reproducibility (R) in accordance with D6300 requirements the precision of GC-VUV ASTM D8267 was shown to be on average five (5) to ten (10) times better than comparable methods.
Cost of Ownership and Cost per Sample: The GC-VUV method runs on the VUV Analyzer platform which we have already shown is capable of running a plethora of fuel related analysis under full automation and users can seamlessly combine analyses of jet fuels, finished gasolines and even diesel fuels in sequences without the need to change hardware or setup. This means that by using the same instrument for all analysis ultimately reduces complexity, increases efficiency and provides better data quality and consistency. A typical cost per sample breakdown based on equipment, labour and consumables and maintenance is shown in Figure 3. On average, in terms of operating costs on a per sample basis, running ASTM D8267 on the VUV Analyzer platform costs 2x less in labor and 9x less in consumables per sample than the alternative HPLC method and 15x less in labor and up to 60x less in consumable cost per sample than the reference fluorescent dye method.
Closing Comments and Conclusions
For almost 60 years GC with FID has arguably been the dominant technique for the routine analysis of crude oil derived fuels but that is now changing dramatically with the development and introduction of the VUV gas phase detector which couples seamlessly with GC and is revolutionizing the analysis of light and middle distillate fuels across the board. It is a universal detector which, due to the unique compound specific spectra obtained combined with utilizing common spectral features for hydrocarbon classes, allows hydrocarbon type identification and quantification in a way which has previously not been possible.
Since its introduction in 2014 the application space of the VUV detector for GC has grown so much that the company now provides a dedicated VUV AnalyzerTM for Fuels capable of providing a range of fuel analyses which comply with ASTM standard methods. In fact, gaining approval for so many standard methods in such a short time is a testament to the power and applicability of the technique. All methods offered are fully developed, calibrated, and automated and can be readily be run by process operators in an open access type of environment if required. The indication is that there will be many more applications to come in the future and I can see this becoming an increasingly powerful tool as the industry continues to move to new and renewable fuel sources.
In addition, due to the power of time resolved spectral deconvolution (3) to identify and individually quantify co-eluting peaks it is often not necessary to achieve complete chromatographic resolution which means many methods can be run faster thus improving sample throughput and turnaround.
In many cases the data provided by GC-VUV is better or comparable in terms of accuracy and precision with conventional methods and correlates well with current reference methods. In particular the performance to date for the analysis of aromatics in aviation turbine fuel shows superior performance to alternative techniques not only in result quality but also in turnaround times and cost per sample. The fact that in many laboratories one GC-VUV Fuels analyser could replace many single application GC-FID instruments means every lab manager should be seriously considering the impact it could have on their operations.

Washington: The United States has condemned the Chinese military drills in Taiwan Strait and described it as an action that is at odds with the longstanding goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the region.
“Overnight, the People’s Republic of China launched an estimated 11 ballistic missiles towards Taiwan, which impacted to the northeast, the east, and southeast of the island,” John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications told reporters.
“We condemn these actions, which are irresponsible and at odds with our longstanding goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the region,” Kirby said.
China has chosen to overreact and use the visit of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a pretext to increase provocative military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait, he said.
The United States, he noted, had anticipated that China might take steps like these.
“We also expect that these actions will continue and that the Chinese will continue to react in the coming days. The United States is prepared for what Beijing chooses to do. We will not seek, nor do we want, a crisis,” he said.
At the same time, the United States, he said, will not be deterred from operating in the seas and the skies of the Western Pacific, consistent with international law, as the US has been supporting Taiwan and defending a free and open Indo-Pacific for decades.
To that end, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday directed that the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and the ships in her strike group will remain on station in the general area to monitor the situation, Kirby said.
The US will conduct standard air and maritime transits through the Taiwan Strait in the next few weeks, consistent, again, with its longstanding approach to defend freedom of the seas and international law.
Beijing’s provocative actions, he noted, are a significant escalation in its longstanding attempt to change the status quo.
As just one example, over the past two years China has more than doubled the number of aircraft that they have flown over the centre line that separates China and Taiwan as compared to the time period between 2016-2020, he said.
Beijing has pursued economic coercion, political interference, and cyberattacks against Taiwan, all of which erode the cross-Strait status quo.
The United States, he said, will be resolute but also steady and responsible.
“We do not believe it is in our interest, Taiwan’s interest, the region’s interest to allow tensions to escalate further, which is why a long-planned Minuteman III ICBM test scheduled for this week has been rescheduled for the near future,” he said.
“As China engages in destabilising military exercises around Taiwan, the United States is demonstrating instead the behaviour of a responsible nuclear power by reducing the risks of miscalculation and misperception,” he said.
The United Stated, will continue to demonstrate transparency in our US ballistic missile tests through timely notifications.
That’s a practice that China has often rejected, he alleged.
“Rescheduling this test will not in any way impact the modernisation, the readiness, or the reliability of America’s safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent. And the test will happen. It will be rescheduled for the near future,” he said.
In a joint statement, Senators Jim Risch and Bob Menendez, ranking member and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that China’s dangerous and provocative live-fire exercises around Taiwan are yet another chapter in Beijing’s unrelenting efforts to bully and coerce Taipei, and to upend cross-Strait peace and stability by changing the status quo with Taiwan.
“The extensive drills, which essentially represent a blockade, create immense risks for passengers in civilian airlines and ships on the high seas,” they said.
“To be clear, Speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan provides no justification for this sort of measure. Beijing should not be under any false illusion that these military drills will lessen resolve in the United States or elsewhere, or erode our commitment to stand with the people of Taiwan and their right to determine their own future. Just the opposite,” the two Senators said.
In a show of strength, China is deploying its aircraft carrier group and a nuclear submarine in large-scale military drills in the Taiwan Strait in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s high-stakes visit to Taipei which infuriated Beijing as it claims the island as part of its territory.
Zhang Junshe, a senior research fellow at the Naval Research Academy of the PLA, told the state-run Global Times that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) drills from Thursday to Sunday around the island of Taiwan will feature its first aircraft carrier group deterrence exercise, which will establish a maritime multidimensional combat system.
The four-day military exercises were being held a day after Pelosi’s visit.
China, which claims Taiwan as part of its mainland, strongly objected to her visit.
“Normally, a nuclear-powered submarine will accompany an aircraft carrier group in its mission,” Zhang said.
The expert confirmed to the daily that at least one nuclear-powered submarine has been deployed.
While the drills are organised by the PLA Eastern Theatre Command, forces from other theatre commands also participated in the exercises, Zhang said.
“This reflects the high interoperability between PLA’s various theatre commands,” he said.
The PLA Navy operates two aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and the Shandong, while the third one, Fujian, is undergoing trials.
Zhang did not confirm which carrier is participating in the drills, or if both carriers have formed a dual-carrier group.
Meanwhile, Taiwan is grappling with how to respond to the Chinese drones.
Military observers said trying to shoot them down increased the risk of a conflict with Beijing as tensions rose following Pelosi’s visit on Tuesday, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.
On the other hand, they are believed to have been used to gather intelligence about Taiwan’s military strength and preparedness on the island, which is just 3.2 kilometres from the mainland city of Xiamen, and a failure to act could encourage more operations in future, the report said.
The PLA drones were spotted flying over Quemoy, which is also known as Kinmen, on Wednesday night, hours after Pelosi left Taipei for South Korea as part of her Asia tour and the night before a series of live-fire exercises around the coast of Taiwan island started.
Troops in Quemoy fired flares to warn the drone away and maintained combat readiness, the Taiwanese defence ministry said in a statement.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) fired multiple missiles toward waters near northeastern and southwestern Taiwan on Thursday, with all of them hitting targets accurately, a Chinese military spokesman said, as Beijing makes good on its promise that Taipei will pay a heavy price for hosting Pelosi.
China views Taiwan as part of its territory, despite having never controlled it and has long vowed to reunify the island with the Chinese mainland, by force if necessary.
Senior Colonel Shi Yi, a spokesman for the PLA Eastern Theatre Command, which oversees military operations in Taiwan Straits, said that rocket forces in multiple locations on the mainland launched several types of missiles carrying conventional warheads to designated waters off the eastern coast of Taiwan.
The drills tested the rocket forces’ capabilities to conduct precision attacks and area-denial tasks, Shi said.
The Rocket Force is a new wing of the Chinese military, which was created a few years ago under the reforms launched by President Xi Jinping to exclusively deal with missile systems.
The PLA will perform long-range artillery strikes and ballistic missile launches to target areas around Taiwan in the coming days, official media here quoted the military as saying.
On Wednesday, the PLA said it plans to conduct the war games in the region from August 4-7.
The drills were expected to continue till Sunday.
This is the second time this week the Chinese military announced missile test plans in the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan has confirmed that the PLA has launched several Dongfeng tactical ballistic missiles capable of flying up to 500 km into waters northeast and southwest waters of the island on Thursday afternoon, a day after Pelosi left the island.
A statement from the island’s defence ministry said the firing of multiple DF series missiles began around 1350 BJT.
It is the first time mainland missiles have flown over the island.
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry tweeted that it will uphold “our sovereignty and guard our territory. We stand with vigilance tirelessly to #protectourcountry. We seek no escalation but devote ourselves to liberty, democracy and the stability and security of our surrounding region.”
Taiwan also cancelled nearly 50 flights on Thursday as the Chinese navy fired artillery near the island.
The PLA Eastern Command issued two statements saying that it conducted “precision strikes” in specific areas over the east of the Taiwan Strait.
“All the missiles hit the target accurately, testing the precision strike and area denial capabilities,” the PLA statement said.
Video footage from the state-owned China Central Television showed several Dongfeng series ballistic missiles were launched from unknown bases on the mainland.
Chinese defence ministry spokesman Tan Kefei said the drills were clearly targeting collusion between Taiwan and the United States.
“The Chinese military will do what they have said,” Tan said in a statement.
The PLA drills also came amid vocal criticism by Chinese, especially in the local social media, about the failure of China to stop Pelosi’s visit despite public assertions earlier by Beijing that it would not allow her visit, highest by a top American leader in 25 years to Taiwan to go ahead.
Pelosi’s visit was regarded as a setback for President Xi, who is widely expected to get an unprecedented third five-year term unlike his predecessors.
He is expected to be endorsed in the once-in-a-five-year Congress of the ruling Communist Party of China in the next few months.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying staunchly defended the military drills, saying “what we are taking and will be taking are a necessary and timely response and countermeasures which have been fully thought through and fully assessed, to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity, in line with international laws, and a warning to provocateurs.”
About the US State Department’s assertion that China is using Pelosi’s visit as an excuse to change the status quo, Hua, who is also the Assistant Foreign Minister, shot back asking, “What is the status quo on the Taiwan question?” “It is crystal clear that two sides on the Taiwan Strait belong to one and same China. China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been split. This is the real status quo on Taiwan,” she asserted.
Accusing the US of creating the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, Hua said the US is colluding with “Taiwan independence” forces.”
“The US side has been distorting, obscuring and hollowing out the One China Principle. It is playing the ‘Taiwan card’ to contain China,” she said, adding that “things would not have come this way without Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.”
She also hit back at Group of Seven (G7) Foreign Ministers’ statement, calling on China not to use the Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan as a “pretext for aggressive military activity in the Taiwan Strait”, saying they still live in an imperialist world of the past to ride roughshod over Chinese people.
“Today’s China is not the old China of 100 years ago that was humiliated and bullied. It’s time for these people to wake up from their imperialist dream,” she said.
It is the first time the PLA has staged such a massive and complicated war game in what it deemed a de facto blockade of the island with almost all the PLA drill areas taking place across the median line that divides the Taiwan Strait and also covering the sensitive eastern coast of Taiwan, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.

Zach Braff booking
Born in South Orange, New Jersey, on April 6, 1975, Zach Braff began acting at an early age. When he was 11, his parents enrolled him in an upstate New York theatrical camp called Stagedoor Manor. (The camp has produced a number of well-known actors over the years, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Robert Downey Jr. and Natalie Portman.) The camp allowed Braff to hit the ground running in the acting world, as he was spotted by a talent manager and was soon regularly going on auditions.
Braff’s first role came when he was 14, in a TV pilot for a show called “High,” where he played opposite Gwyneth Paltrow. The show never made it to the air, but three years later Braff caught a good break, landing the part of Woody Allen’s son in 1993’s “Manhattan Murder Mystery.” The film was popular with critics and audiences, and Braff’s appearance gave him wider visibility. The following year, Braff starred in the TV movie “My Life as a Girl,” but he soon took a break from acting to attend Northwestern University’s film school in Chicago. Before graduating with a bachelor’s degree, he wrote and directed a number of short films, giving him experience that would lay the groundwork for later writing and directing duties.
Braff returned to acting in 1999 with a lead role in the independent film “Getting to Know You,” and a string of roles in films such as “Endsville,” “Blue Moon” and “Broken Hearts Club” followed in 2000. What followed the next year, Braff likely never saw coming. He was cast as Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian, the main character on the new medical comedy series “Scrubs.” The show was an instant hit, proving to be Braff’s big break and launchpad to fame.
The show began airing in fall 2001 and left the air in spring 2010, making Braff a household name along the way. He developed his behind-the-camera skills on “Scrubs” as well, directing several episodes and serving as the show’s executive producer in its final seasons. “Scrubs” also allowed him to exercise his creative impulse for filmmaking, and in 2004 “Garden State,” a film he wrote, directed and starred in, was released. The film debuted at Sundance and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the Drama category.
Braff soon moved on to leading roles in films such as the animated “Chicken Little,” “The Last Kiss” and “The Ex”; did voiceover work for video games in the Chicken Little and Kingdom Hearts franchises; and appeared on other TV shows, such as “Arrested Development” and the “Scrubs” spinoff, “Scrubs: Interns.” As his career advanced, the movie roles became more frequent, and 2013 proved to be a big year for the actor. He landed the part(s) of Frank/Findlay in the blockbuster megabudget “Wizard of Oz” prequel, “Oz the Great and Powerful.” The film made $80 million its opening weekend and provided Braff with yet another platform for his acting chops.
Also in 2013, Braff started a Kickstarter campaign to crowdsource the follow-up movie to “Garden State.” He raised more than $2 million to fund the movie project, entitled “Wish I Was Here.” Among other notable events in Braff’s life, he has appeared as Romeo in Shakespeare-on-the-Sound’s production of “Romeo and Juliet” and at New York’s Public Theater in “Macbeth,” with the all-star cast of Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett and Liev Schreiber. Braff was nominated for three Golden Globes and an Emmy for his work on “Scrubs” and won a Grammy in 2004 for the soundtrack for “Garden State.”

I.I.I. chief actuary James Lynch explains why ProPublica’s analysis on auto insurance is inaccurate, unfair and irresponsible:
It looks like ProPublica failed its first actuarial exam.
The renowned investigative journalism website has, along with Consumer Reports magazine, published reports that auto insurers systematically charge unfairly high rates to people in minority and low-income communities.
It is an explosive charge—to say that in, for example, Illinois, 33 out of 34 companies the journalists looked at (including the nation’s largest insurers) all systematically price-gouged minority communities and areas with predominantly low income households.
And the charge is inaccurate.

Hey Android, thanks heaps for the feedback this is exactly the thing that I need to be told. I've trained as a designer but not as an illustrator and I feel there are a few basic things like aerial perspective that I'm missing from lack of training. That's why im here. I see what you mean about shadow gaining saturation and less saturated towards the light, I've always drawn and painted as if it were the other way around. I'll do some more studies and see how they turn out. The reference img you linked me to has a similar colour scheme to my last piece hah. One thing I find has is painting pieces with multiple focal points. I tend to centre everything. S:
I'd give you some feedback to it you want it? Although you're already really awesome. Maybe more work on your figures perhaps?
android, if I may ask, when did you start drawing? I think I remember seeing you on this in the past but your latest EOW's strike a familiar chord. Are you working in freelance on your own? I'd definitely like to see more variety in here, but you already know it's all thumbs up to your environmental excavations. Keep it up, friend.
hey vulgar, thanks for visiting my sb, Iīm drawing for about 6 years until now and visited some art classes in color theory, design and sketching. In these classes we learned also some perspective sketching and character stuff but than I ran out of money and since than Iīm on my own. As Iīm over the age of 30 I thought that I put all resources I have into environments and learn this as good as I can rather than trying to learn too many things. Thatīs why my sb is lacking variety.
However Iīm plannig to visit some online workshops this year where I try to improve my character/vehicle/mecha stuff too and get the courage to post em here. Until now I worked as a web designer and programmer for online shops in Berlin which I learned myself too but then my father died suddenly and I moved to my mother and help in the restaurant of my parents as cook/manager/advertiser.
As I like drawing more than anything else I still try to improve as good as I can but time is a big issue for me. Right now I enjoy EOW because it helps me keep on the right track. Do you think I have potential for some paid freelancing? At the moment I see it as just for fun but I made some good improvements the last year, at least thatīs what some feedback is telling me so lets see what this year will bring me. At least some good images for my portfolio I hope...
thank you very much for the comments guys
@daflom - yes, the eow has really high standard and one automatically tries to improve in order to keep track, itīs sometimes hard when noone votes for you but donīt give up and try to learn something whenever you enter the eow by making tutorials and stuff, at least thatīs how I approach it. Last but least the crits are very constructive and you can build up on it
your compositions are really different and dynamic...
tell me 1 thing... do you paint it directly on computer or first you made some rough traditional paintings and sketches and then go to the computer...
ok, i try to do a crtique on your last post. i hope its ok to do some (very rough) overpainting..
you know from my work that i'm by far no professional and so please consider this critique as an amateurs opinion
1. focal point: for me that region in the midground with its warm orange next to the blue river and the quite intense green on the left attracts the eye the most. i dont`think that this was your intention. this cave people on the right are imo way more interesting than this orange rock.
which leads me to 2. the cavemen:i know you have this high value contrast there on the mountain edge but it really has to "fight" against that orange spot. maybe try to darken the cave so this guy coming out of it pops more out, or if you like to feature the one sitting next to the fire he needs way more contrast. he now almost blends into the ground.
3.the three trees: i think there is some overlap missing. if for instance the back tree overlaps the front one you could create a better sense of distance..
4. rock in the bg: i think it has too much contrast/not enough atmospheric perspective, and its to big compared to his orange friend in the mg. some overlapping rocks in the mg/bg would help as well (for distance/depth)
as i said this are just my thoughts and i'm just a beginner at this whole composition thing, maybe you can get something out of it. and please correct me if i got anything terribly wrong
keep it up!
thanks daflom, you made some very good points, and I can definitely take something out of it. There are many things that could be improved, especially a more dramatic lighting, light source more defined and so on I did this painting quite fast to get an interesting shot down, my next one will be a bit more refined then I hope. Thanks again daflom, itīs allways good to have some advice...
Your digitals and enviros look fantastic, it inspires me to work, cuz I have a looong way to go to get to your level, but...
let's see some more studies, get that pencil out, or even the tablet and a bridgman/anatomy/animal book, whatever and start those studies, and post them so we can watch you progress!!
you're enviros would improve so much with some characters to add some characters
sorry bout that
anyway, looks great, just keep working at it!
mmmm nice light in the enviros
