Log cabins have been around for thousands of years and are one of the hallmarks of life out in the wilderness. For many of the first Europeans in America, log cabins were the dwelling of choice and many of the designs in use today are inspired by those used by early explorers and settlers.
Modern construction materials and methods plus the growth of urban living have reduced the popularity of these types of homes. However, log cabin mobile homes are gaining popularity among urban dwellers looking for a place where they can get away from the city even for just a little while.
Despite their ancient origins, log cabins are proving to be quite well suited to modern times. Their rustic look, flexible designs, affordability and many other features make them a great choice for individuals or families looking to get started on the journey to home ownership.
Modern tools and methods have reduced the construction of these homes to a simple process that in some cases can be accomplished by the homeowners themselves.
The Factory Advantage
While a stick-built log cabin will be built at the site, a mobile log cabin will likely be built in a factory setting. If the house is quite large, it can be built in sections which will be transported separately before being assembled at the site. A log cabin built in a factory rather than at the site gives you several advantages that can reduce the total cost of home ownership and the construction time.
- Transporting tools, materials, and workers to the site can be very expensive and time-consuming. In a factory, all three things are readily available and this can help to speed up the construction.
- In a factory, the people there are likely to have an established process that is used in achieving various designs. For a house design that is commonly used, the factory setting not only allows the construction to be done quickly but with minimal waste. This is because the workers already have a good idea of how much material is required.
- Factory construction allows for an optimized process that will produce the best possible result each time.
The main challenge that comes with building the log cabin home in a factory is that it still has to be transported and set up at the actual site.
This can be a problem because just like any other mobile house, the log cabin is vulnerable during transportation and when being lifted onto the foundation. The house needs to be properly supported at all times and this is a challenge when the house is hoisted into the air by a crane.
However, many manufacturers have worked out the transportation of these homes down to a science and know when, where and how to transport the homes. A good manufacturer will ask to assess the site first to ensure the house can be safely transported and placed onto the foundation.
A wealth of design alternatives
One of the main advantages of log cabins having been around for as long as they have is the sheer number of designs that have come about as a result. Log cabin designs over the years were influenced by location, time period and the types of tools and materials available.
Type of wood
The type of wood you choose for your mobile log cabin home is important for several reasons. Some types of wood are more expensive, others are more durable and some even possess a certain fragrance that a homeowner may want in their house. The logs may also possess a particular look or color.
Some of the common alternatives that you can choose from include pine, cypress, spruce, Douglas fir, cedar, and oak. The availability of some types of wood will vary with location and this can make them more expensive.
Options such as oak are more expensive due to the time it takes the trees to grow before they can be harvested. The result, however, is a house that can last several generations.
Options in construction
There are several profiles that homeowners can choose for their log cabin manufactured homes. The four common profiles used in the construction are:
- D-shaped logs – These logs are round on the outside and flat on the inside
- Square logs – These logs will be flat on both the inside and outside
- Full-round logs – These logs are round on both sides
- Swedish cope logs – The bottom of the logs have a half-moon-shaped groove that helps during stacking but they’ll appear round on both the inside and outside
The choice of profile will be down to individual preference depending on the look you’re going for. You can also decide on how you’d like the logs in your house to be stacked. Different stacking methods will result in different looks and performance with some providing better sealing against moisture penetration.
The logs can be flattened at the top and bottom and simply stacked on top of each other. Milled logs employ a tongue and groove system which makes it easier to align the logs and also creates a better seal against entry of water and other elements.
In many cases, homeowners want to go with a custom design. This means they get to decide the key aspects of how their house will look. The flexibility of wood as a construction material allows this but this can also be more expensive.
For others, living in a mobile log cabin house is about experiencing life as others might have in the early days. This is why manufacturers still utilize many traditional log cabin home designs. Although modern construction methods are used, the traditional look of the house is still achieved. Some of the traditional floor plans found in the U.S. include:
- Adirondack etc.
As the names suggest, many of these traditional floor plans are associated with a specific type of people, environment or region.
The corners of log cabins, whether mobile or otherwise, are some of the most important parts of the house. They contribute to both the structural integrity of the house and the aesthetics. There are a number of corner profiles that you can choose from for your log cabin house including:
- Saddle notch
- Mortise and Tenon
- Vertical corner post etc.
The impact of construction on the environment is a pressing issue due to global warming and climate change. Although there are many issues surrounding the problem of climate change, certain building techniques and materials have been identified as being part of the problem.
On the surface, the use of wood for construction may seem to counter the very idea of environmental preservation but it has been shown that log cabins have a lower impact on the environment than many other types of houses. A mobile log cabin can be even better.
Although cutting down of trees is sometimes a problem, wood is one of the most easily replenished resources. Most of the trees used to build log cabins grow relatively quickly and can be harvested in a much shorter time compared to other tree species.
Many companies that harvest these trees replant once a particular area has been cleared. This method of harvesting has made the construction of log cabins sustainable in many areas.
In comparison, other types of houses use materials such as metals, concrete, and plastics extensively. Extraction of metals ores from the ground and extracting the metal from the ore isn’t just energy intensive, it also does a lot of damage to the soil. Cement production does a lot of damage to the soil and cement dust is harmful to both plants and animals when it gets into the air or water.
High Energy Efficiency
One of the reasons why log cabins were favored by the early settlers was the fact that they could still stay warm inside them even during the cold winters. Log cabins have been shown to be very energy efficient. Wood has good thermal properties because it absorbs heat when it’s hot e.g. during the day and radiates it at night.
This helps to keep the house warm. The sheer size of the logs used in log cabins makes them even more thermally efficient. If your mobile log cabin home is properly sealed, you will have minimal need for heating and air conditioning.
This where the eco-friendliness of the mobile log cabin house trumps that of the stick-built one. A lot of environmental damage can occur during the construction of a stick-built house.
The constant movement of people and equipment, the waste from the construction process and various other activities can have a negative impact on the surroundings. In the case of manufactured houses, much of the construction is done in a factory far from the site.
The main jobs that will be done at the site are the preparation of the foundation and the setting up of the finished house. The reduced construction activity can be of massive importance particularly when putting up a house in ecologically sensitive locations such as near water bodies.
Getting the best from your Manufactured Log House
A log cabin house may be the perfect path to becoming a homeowner but it’s important that you make the right decisions if it’s to become the type of home you want.
There are many simple mistakes that could spell disaster for your home or at the very least complicate the construction process.
Get the location right
A mobile log house sounds ideal for a lake or mountain cabin but your idea for a wilderness getaway may not be as good as you think. For starters, the log cabin will have to be transported to the location. When you’re too far off-the-grid, even finding a suitable road can be a challenge.
Many manufacturers will want to know the location and whether or not it is accessible. Poor roads will mean harsh driving conditions and this can damage the home during transport.
The movers will also need room to maneuver especially if the log cabin is a big one. The large log cabins are transported in sections and are usually set onto the foundations or supports using cranes. The site must have enough room for these machines and these activities.
Think about utilities
This has to do with both the general location and the specific site that you choose. As much as log cabins are all about living in the wilderness, you’ll probably want modern utilities such as electricity and plumbing.
If you’re taking the cabin to a place with no access to these utilities you’ll have to consider alternative solutions such as using solar power, water collection and/or purification systems and composting toilets.
Additionally, even if you have utilities available on-site, ensure you set up the mobile log cabin so it can be easily hooked up. This will save you the added expense of running additional utility lines.
What’s your Foundation?
There are several types of foundations that you can choose for your log cabin. The concrete slab and crawlspace are both good options although a simple stone base may also be sufficient for single-wide mobile log cabins. The crawlspace is a common choice for lake cabins because it keeps the house away from the water.
It’s not a good idea for wood to be exposed to water for very long even when treated. The concrete slab will need to be very flat especially when the house is in more than one section. An uneven slab could make it very difficult to align the different sections.
The role the manufacturer will play in the construction of the foundation will vary with the manufacturer. Some mobile log home manufacturers will handle every aspect of the job including preparing the foundation but many don’t. This means having to find a separate contractor to prepare the site for the house.
When choosing a contractor, always go with the one you’re sure will produce the best results and not just the one with the cheapest price. Some homeowners opt to work on the foundation themselves but you should only go down this road if you know what you’re doing.
It would be a shame to go through all the trouble of getting a mobile log home only for someone to say you can’t live in it. This is quite possible if a local government inspector finds that your log cabin is unsafe for occupation. Different places have different laws with regard to what is considered a safe structure.
This is because locations face different risks such as hurricanes, avalanches, mudslides and floods. You can either check these codes on your own or work with a manufacturer who is very familiar with the building codes in your location.
Opportunities for better solutions
As good as they are, there are still several ways that you can improve your mobile log home. This may mean making it more energy efficient or better suited to the environment you’ll be using it in.
- Choose the right stain: There are many stains that you can use on the logs especially if you’re trying to achieve a certain look. A log cabin in a wooded setting may still require something extra if it’s to look natural in its setting. Choosing the right stain will be helpful.
- Use solar energy if possible: Many of these mobile log homes are used in settings with wide open spaces where the house will be exposed to plenty of sunlight throughout the day. This means you can take advantage of some affordable solar panels to get your energy for free.
- Install a water harvesting system: This is yet another perk that comes with the setting. Water harvesting will give you easy access to clean water if your home is in the country where industrial air pollution isn’t a problem.
The problem with Kits
One alternative that may be presented to you when you’re looking to have your own mobile log cabin home is to get a kit from a manufacturer and build the house yourself from scratch. For many DIY enthusiasts, this sounds like a good deal because it seems less expensive but you may want to hold on for a minute.
- Building a mobile house from a kit isn’t always as cheap since you may still have to spend more money on labor and extra materials.
- Working with kits will require access to hand tools such as drills, saws etc.
- Any errors whether in cutting, drilling etc. could be quite costly
- It could take you longer to get your house up
- The result may not be of the required standard.
Building from manufactured kits is only a good idea where the finished house can’t be delivered to the site.
An old idea that is golden
Log cabins are as old as you could get when it comes to houses and making them mobile makes them even better suited for what they were used for in the past; living on the periphery of the known world.
Thanks to modern manufacturing methods, these log cabins can be produced faster and with less waste while a large number of designs, construction methods and types of wood means you could end up with something that is unique to you.
The homes are also an eco-friendly building solution at a time when this is quite important. When you make the right decisions when you decide to own a mobile log cabin home and take advantage of the right modern enhancements, this old idea can prove to be the best one yet.


SMEDING DIESEL WARRANTY

This Warranty shall not apply to any turbo that has been improperly stored or installed. This Warranty shall not apply to misapplication, improper operating conditions, accidents, or neglect. This Warranty shall not apply to a turbo that has been improperly repaired, maintained and/or altered by the owner or his technician. Damage due to plugged oil return lines, thrust bushing/bearing damage due to excessive turbo speed, and/or insufficient/improper oil supply is not covered under this warranty. This warranty does not cover a failure resulting from foreign objects (debris). However, in the event of a failure, Smeding Diesel will inspect the turbo for damage and charge the consumer only for hard parts replaced
Smeding diesel is not responsible for labor cost, tow bills or damage that may have been caused by a suspected failed Smeding diesel product and/or improper installation.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ship any warranty claims to Smeding Diesel at their expense. Smeding Diesel will cover UPS ground charges (within the continental united states) to ship back to customer’s. Any expedited shipping charges will not be covered by Smeding diesel and is the customer’s responsibility If any unit should come in and test within spec regardless of warranty or no warranty the customer will be charged $25-$35 bench fee.
NO PERSONAL DELIVERIES!
CHECKLIST FOR INSTALLING TURBOCHARGERS
1. Inspect the intake and exhaust system leading to and from the
turbocharger to ensure they are free of debris. Small particles can cause
severe damage at high speeds
2. Use new gaskets at all air, oil, and exhaust connections.
3. Use high temperature anti-seize compound on all threaded fasteners
connected to the turbocharger
4. Ensure drain port tilt is no more than 20 degrees from the bottom center
in either direction. Excessive tilt can create leakage on both the turbine
and compressor seals
5. Fill the oil inlet port with clean engine oil before connecting the oil feed
hose to the turbocharger
6. If the clamp tabs or V-band are loosened for orientation of the
compressor cover or turbine housing, be certain that the mating flanges
are tightly reseated, and that the fasteners are retightened. Complete the
orientation of the cover and housing before making any rigid connections
to the compressor inlet or outlet: this will make certain that all piping
aligns with the turbocharger: this will ensure the external stresses on the
turbocharger are minimal.
7. Before connecting the oil drain hose, crank the engine without starting it
until a steady stream of oil flows from the drain port
8. Operate the engine at low idle for at least three minutes after completing
the installation of any turbocharger. This will prevent oil starvation
damage to the bearing system and will tend to purge any residual
contaminates from the bearings housing.
FACTORS AFFECTING TURBOCHARGER SERVICE LIFE
An analysis of turbochargers indicated that approximately 40% of the failures
are due to foreign material going through either the turbine or the compressor.
An additional 40% are due to lubrication issues. The remaining 20% are of a
miscellaneous nature. Some of the foreign material damage is the result of
pieces of burned or broken valves, improperly installed gaskets, casting fins that
may break out of the manifold, pieces of the air cleaner, and in small cases nuts
or bolts that were dropped into the intake system. Undersized or plugged oil
lines are the most common lubrication issue. It is essential to have an adequate
supply of oil at full engine oil pressure.
If warranty is required, and the customer has reviewed the check list and understands the warranty. Customer must complete the following procedure:
1. Call Smeding Diesel and Confirm that it is a warranty issue.
2. Send pictures of turbo installed on the vehicle and provide pictures of oil feed and drain lines installed on the turbo
3. Remove turbo and ship back to Smeding diesel (Make sure the turbo is safely packaged up, Smeding diesel is not responsible for shipping damages) DO NOT USE BUBBLE WRAP OR PACKING PEANUTS
4. Include a printed copy of your original emailed invoice with the turbo. Be sure an up to date phone number is written on the invoice.
5. Follow your tracking number and CALL SMEIDING DIESEL when it shows the package was delivered.
6. Once Smeding diesel has received the turbo, please allows 24-72 hours for the repairs

A highly promising gold deposit has been discovered in Petäjäselkä near Kittilä in Finnish Lapland during test drilling by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). The deposit is about 20km long and 5km wide, and is linked to the gold zone stretching from Kittilä’s Suurikuusikko to Sodankylä’s Pahtavaara.
Some of the test samples have contained as much as 28g of gold per ton, according to Risto Pietilä, director of the GTK unit in Rovaniemi. The usual gold content in the mines in Lapland is about 4g per ton. GTK will present its report to Finland’s Ministry of Employment and the Economy in June 2011, after which the ministry will organise a competitive tender to select who will get the rights to prospect the newly found deposit.
Finland currently has five gold mines but GTK believes that their number will increase in the future as about 200 gold deposits have already been test drilled around the country. Lapland has the most promising deposits and has experienced several gold rushes since the 19th century. With the price of gold at its highest for 50 years, the new discovery is certain to attract interest from international mining companies.
Kittilä already has one operating gold mine owned by the Canadian mining company Agnico-Eagle. Last year Agnico-Eagle extracted and enriched about 5000kg of gold from its Kittilä mine, which is the largest mine in the Nordic countries.

RIO DE JANEIRO – The Brazilian truckers’ strike left this city all but paralyzed for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday despite President Michel Temer’s proposed truce and Petrobras’ offer to lower fuel prices.
Trucker leaders on Wednesday had said that Petrobras’ offer to lower diesel prices by 10 percent for a period of 15 days was not a solution and that the strike would go on indefinitely.
By 9:00 am, protests had spread to 20 Brazilian states.
According to the Rio de Janeiro Fuel Retailers Association (SINDOMB), at least half of the country’s gas stations are without gasoline, diesel or ethanol and in Brasilia and Sao Paulo, shortages have caused motorists to sit in long lines waiting to fill up.
In the Federal District, LP gas was also in short supply and, despite the fact that its price has remained stable, hospitals, jails and malls have been unable to stock up.
Airports have also been gravely affected by the strike, as only nine tanker trucks have arrived at the Brasilia airport – well short of the 20 required each day to provision the airplane fleet – while Congonhas airport authorities in Sao Paulo said that they only have enough fuel to last until Friday night.
The fuel shortage has also led to a reduction in public transportation in several cities.
With Petrobras’ decision to temporarily lower diesel prices, however, the government hopes to be able to come to an agreement with the truckers.

Is so-called Peak TV that high quality? What’s the end game here?
One thing is certain: Peak TV doesn’t refer to record-breaking levels of viewers consuming top-quality entertainment TV content. Supply and demand will out.
Several years ago, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, warned too much good TV -- Peak TV, that is premium-scripted TV content -- will continue to overlooked. Landgraf says 450 to 500 shows will have to fight for its share of marketing voice. Many will lose out.
TV networks use the on-air time on their traditional TV platform -- ad-supported or otherwise -- to promote shows. But declining TV viewing is making that harder. Networks may use some of their sister networks -- broadcast, cable and otherwise -- to help with those efforts.
For a long time now, Steve Sternberg, veteran media agency/network programming analyst, in MediaPost columns and other places -- has advocated broadcast TV networks should be allowed to place TV program promos on competing channels. He believes cross-network promotion helps the overall traditional linear TV program business.
After all, TV networks take show promos from Netflix, Amazon and others. Aren’t they competitors as well?
You need only look at the lack of viewership of some of the big entertainment award shows -- like the recent “Primetime Emmy Awards” -- to see the problem. Just 6.9 million Nielsen-measure viewers watched the recent show on Fox, another all-time record low.
Blame it on several factors, including the entertainment or lack of an actual host. But consider other issues.
First, go back to the so-called peak TV theme. TV viewers have long complained they don’t have the time see all these great TV shows -- or at least know what they are about. Might TV viewers want to sample this content, perhaps via the industry’s big awards show?
Right now, there isn’t enough TV content on the Emmys -- a show that seems to be at the nexus of TV programs and promotion.
True, a three-hour awards show won’t be the only piece of an industry-wide marketing plan to support quality-scripted TV content. But it could showcase a sampling.
Remember the old yarn “viewers don’t watch networks, they watch shows”? The reality it’s worst than that: Many viewers don’t know which shows are on which networks.
All to say, the whole TV marketing exercise in keeping one’s show promotion just on its own airwaves should be abandoned. Cross-promotion is the only way forward.
If not, we’ll just keep changing the channel (and missing a lot of shows) to get one’s interest peaked.

Running a full pickup bed in tight trees or big boulders means threading your way through obstacles hoping not to bump the sheetmetal. Over the years our 2001 Toyota Tacoma had seen some dents, scars, and broken taillights from trail encounters. Maybe you have a Ford, Chevy, Dodge or whatever pickup bed that's seen the ravages of rust, but maybe portions of it are still good. In any case, it was time to make some changes to our cargo space.
We've used this rig for everything from daytrips to weeklong expeditions in remote areas over the last decade, and had a pretty good idea how we load for various outings. We wanted to downsize a bit, maintain a certain level of cargo capacity, and still have our truck look like a pickup. Follow along to see what we did to build something a little different.
We knew we wanted the bed shorter as a start. We've bobbed beds before and liked the results. We've also scratch-built tube beds with fenderwells and storage boxes. However, this time we decided to build a minimalist bed interior to accommodate the gear we like to carry, then skin it with our original sheetmetal bedsides.
Before cutting metal, we laid out our essential gear and spare tire, and worked on the placement of everything in the space we planned to have inside the bed. We had recently fabricated a rear link suspension and rebuilt a portion of the rear truck frame with an eye toward this new bed build. From there we built additional structure from metal tubing and skinned the interior with steel sheet.
Our revised bed is now about 10 inches shorter than stock, and the tail has been narrowed about 10 inches. Rear departure angle and clearance is greatly improved and our sheetmetal is now further from trail hazards.
We'd previously removed the bed from the frame to prepare for reworking our rear suspension. We began sheetmetal surgery by cutting off the rear portion of each bedside to rid ourselves of the factory taillight buckets.
Next, we made cuts to separate the outer skins from the rest of the bed. We saved these and got rid of most of the rest of the factory bed.
While previously swapping to a linked rear suspension, we cut off a portion of the rear frame and rebuilt the tail to better suit our new bed configuration. We eliminated the factory taillights and swapped to generic, inexpensive LED lights. We cut holes for the lights in a piece of 4x2-inch box tubing that would serve as our new rear bumper.
When we built the truck a decade ago we raised the factory gas tank several inches to gain ground clearance. With the removal of our stock bed, we took advantage to raise it another inch or so by replacing a factory crossmember.
Here is the frame we were starting with after doing our rear suspension swap. We built support structure for the floor from box tubing and began cutting floor panels from 20-gauge cold-rolled steel sheet.
As we cut the panels for the bed, we drilled fastener holes in them and secured them temporarily using Cleco fasteners.
To added more rigidity and reduce vibration of the bed floor, we used a bead roller to roll steps in the panels.
We found that our factory bedsides would hang well on 1 1/2-inch tubing, so we built a tube structure that would sit behind the sheetmetal. We have an in-cab rollcage, so this bed structure was not meant to be part of a safety cage but would support the bed and its contents. We also fabricated a simple tailgate from matching tubing.
The bed interior was fabricated from steel sheet as well and secured to the tube structure with welded tabs. These panels were also bead-rolled to stiffen the sheet.
Once fitted and complete, all the panels were coated inside and outside using spray-on bedliner. We attached all the panels using 3/16-inch-diameter steel rivets.
An access panel was made over the fuel pump assembly on the gas tank. In the future, this will allow removal of the fuel pump without having to drop the tank from under the truck.
We mounted a 5-gallon polyethylene RV water tank just behind the cab near the factory gas tank.
A 12-volt on-demand water pump supplies fresh water from the tank to a valved outlet hose at the rear of the truck. Flow rate is 1-gallon per minute.
The remote reservoirs for the Radflo coilovers were mounted to the bed tubing using formed mounts from RuffStuff Specialties. We used scraps of bicycle tube to isolate the reservoirs from the mounts and screw clamps.
Panels to cover the shock towers are also riveted in place inside the bed interior.
Here's a view of the bed coming together. On the passenger side we mounted our Powertank just behind the cab under the bed sheetmetal.
The spare tire is held to the floor using a T-handle built using a 1-inch-diameter bolt. A Hi-Lift jack is bolted to the front wall of the bed on two 1/2-inch bolts. We had several pieces of tie-down track from Mac's Custom Tie Downs we'd been using. We cut them in smaller sections and placed some strategically around the bed.
Once each bedside was hung on the horizontal tubing on each side of the bed, the sheetmetal was held in place using a few quick-release Dzus fasteners.
Here is our populated bed with cooler, an 8-gallon Rubbermaid Action Packer, and a 20mm ammo can. This is our bare setup. To this we can add the extra rack shown to carry three more Action Packers and a shade canopy for longer trips.
We're using a 4 Banger aluminum quart crate from Artec Industries to carry four bottles of fluids onboard. The latch top is easy to use but plenty secure when bouncing around.
The quart crate is compact to fit easily between the ammo can and our spare tire, bolted in place to the floor.
Here's the tail of the finished bed with the rear of each bedside capped in sheetmetal and the tailgate finished in primer. LED lighting is installed, including small reverse lights. The license plate slides out to reveal a standard 2-inch receiver socket in the bumper.
We found the shorter, narrower bed made moving through tight trees a lot easier.

Kuami Eugene: I’ll keep thanking Rotimi whenever I get the platform (See Why)
The Highlife musician Eugene Kwame Marfo, better known by his stage name Kuami Eugene, recently spoke about his brand-new song “Cryptocurrency,” which features Nigerian rapper Rotimi.
“Cryptocurrency is doing really good and in fact if I show you the streaming numbers for cryptocurrency is crazy and doing really good out there,” he revealed.
Adizono_rc of Sarknation.com watched Kuami Eugene’s interview on MX24 TV, and he said he would always thank Rotimi for any platform he gets.
“Thanks to all for supporting this project and shouts to Rotimi and I will say thank you all the time anywhere I get the platform cos he’s been a brother.
“It wasn’t the plan to have Rotimi on my song because the song wasn’t that actually, it didn’t even have an open verse but since Rotimi asked for an open verse I need to make one,” he added.
“So I made one and shouts to Rotimi he did good and he’s helping to promote the song as well,” the ‘Wish Me Well’ hitmaker disclosed.

The ETFM technology platform can be used in a range of applications:
Direct drive, high torque
The transverse flux and highly modularity features of the ETFM, makes it possible to design the motor with a large diameter, and thereby very high torque per kg of cobber and iron laminate. This is ideal for low cost, direct drive stationary robot applications.
Low inertia even in large diameter
To ensure a very low rotor inertia, the ETFM can be designed with very short magnetic flux path in the rotor. This lowers the required amount of iron laminate in the rotor, and makes it possible to design the ETFM motor with very low moment of inertia – both with inner and outer rotor. This is ideal for direct drive start/stop robot applications with high acceleration.
High position accuracy
The ETFM has no permanent magnets and thereby predefined steps. With the motor controller from ePower Technology, the ETFM motor can be controlled with smooth constant torque, and can hold still in any position with steps << 0.1 deg. This is ideal for high precision direct drive robot applications.
Simple construction, low cost
The simple construction, high torque per kg cobber and no permanent magnets of the ETFM motor makes the cost price in high volume production very low. This is ideal for low cost, high performance, direct drive robot applications.
Fitness & rehabilitation
4E strength training systemePower has developed a 5 phased ETFM Switched Reluctance motor control system for the 4E strength training system for gym80 International GmbH, which was released on the market in 2013 and approved according to the Medical Device Directive in 2015 (German Medical Products Act - MPG).
"30 years ago when I first saw strength training machines that worked fully electrically, were completely networked to one another and were able to produce different resistance modes for workouts rich in variety, I knew: that's a brilliant idea. When I became familiar with the ETFM resistance technology in 2007, my enthusiasm was sparked. I was convinced that working out with this technology would be more diversified and exciting. A great amount of R/D and programming work went into the advancement of the ETFM technology to make the resistance levels more smooth. You can feel it – it is state of the art on the market. It's simply a completely new training quality. There is no other machine on the market today where you can do isometric and isotonic training, training with a higher eccentric load as well as isokinetic training. This is the diversity we want to offer our customers. In conjunction with our software, the 4E product line is an incredibly cutting-edge training machine, perfectly geared to a broad range of applications and requirements.
For both professionals and for rehab patients alike. Because isokinetics, for instance, is also ideal for muscle-building in the medical area. We know the 4E product line is a sophisticated product, also in terms of price, but we happily accept such exclusiveness. We were not only driven by commercial considerations here but more so by the wish to provide the best workout possible with new technology."
Synergy Indoor BikeThe Synergy Indoor Bike training concept was developed by AWS Technology and release on the market in 2007. The resistance in the Synergy Indoor Bike is based on the ETFM technology platform.
ePower Technology is the successor of AWS Technology, who had 5 engineers working on the first ETFM technology platform from 2003 to 2008 in close cooperation with Aalborg University, and raised more than 4 mil EUR for developing the ETFM technology platform into the first product launch on the market 2007, the Synergy Indoor Bike.
Key reasons to use a sophisticated electric generator in an indoor cycling bike are:
- Stand alone bike, power from the generator is used for electronics on the bike.
- High torque at low speed
- Inertia emulation, let the user have the outdoor bike feeling with the right inertia.
When riding an outdoor bike, it is the inertia that makes it possible to keep a constant speed, even when the torque from the pedals variates over one revolution. The inertia on an outdoor bike is depending on the speed and mass of the cycle and cyclist. See "Cadence RPM" graph below.
Examples of low inertia:
- Outdoor: Low gear, low speed, low weight - MTB steep uphill
- Indoor: Cardio bike, eddy current brake or simple generator
Examples of high inertia:
- Outdoor: High gear, high speed, high weight – Racing bike flat/downhill
- Indoor: Spinning bike with large fly wheel
Outdoor bike feeling
The ETFM generator with dedicated controller made it possible to dynamically change the emulated inertia, so all weight classes of cyclists could get the same bike feeling as with an outdoor bike from low gear low inertia mountain bike, to high gear high inertia street racing bike.
The inertia emulation is running on the low-level 20 kHz motor control loop, which makes it possible for a very fast response to new external input (gear change, standing/sitting).
Cost effective dedicated motor controller for the Synergy Indoor bike with build in outdoor bike feeling emulation.
- Internal fly wheel
- Inertia for bike feeling
- Build in free wheel
- Low cost internal encoder feedback
Fault Tolerant Applications
The ETFM, have all the basic properties to be considered as a very fault tolerant machine. Every single coil in the machine is isolated from the each others both magnetic, electrical and to some extent also thermal. Since the E-core transverse flux-machine belongs to the family of the SR motors it has unique properties of intervals without current in the windings.
By careful investigation of the voltage and current in these intervals a very simple method to detect single and partial turn short circuit faults have been developed. For other types of machines the single and partial turn short circuit is very difficult to deal with and requires normally very comprehensive detection and calculation schemes.
The developed detection algorithm combined with the E-core transverse flux machine is a strong candidate for fault tolerant electrical machine applications.
- Car lifts
- Conveyor belts
- Golf carts
- Scissor lifts

Look for Noodles Hahn Memorabilia:Barnes & Noble | Amazon.com | eBay.com
Noodles Hahn from the Chronology
Sep 29, 2000 - For the 2nd day in a row the Reds win 8-1 on a 2-hitter. This time its the Cardinals as Ron Villone strikes out 16 batters-Tatis 4 times-to tie the club record set by Noodles Hahn (1901) and Jim Maloney (1963). Villone's previous high was 8. He allows just 2 hits in what will be his last game as a Red: Cincy will trade him to the Rockies on November 8 for 2 players to be named later. Sean Casey homers for the 2nd day in a row.
Oct 9, 1904 - Cincinnati pitchers Tom Walker and Noodles Hahn each throw a shutout against St. Louis. Walker allows 6 hits in winning 3-0 while Hahn allows one hit in winning 1-0 in 7 innings. The nitecap was called because of darkness.
Jun 13, 1903 - At League Park Joe Kelley's first-inning triple is the lone hit off Mathewson who whitewashes the Reds 4-0. Noodles Hahn takes the loss. It is the 3rd shutout in a row for the Giants' staff.
Jul 21, 1900 - In the last of the 9th at Brooklyn with 2 outs and the score tied at 5-5 with the Reds an intentional walk to Deacon Maguire goes awry. Maguire reaches out and taps a Noodles Hahn pitch but the catcher picks it up then drops it and the winning run scores.
Jul 15, 1900 - Noodles Hahn follows up his no-hitter with a 9-hitter but still shuts out St. Louis 9-0.
Apr 18, 1899 - At Cincinnati 19-year-old Noodles Hahn makes his ML debut and beats the Pirates 7-5.

Long-Term Drought Persists, But Wet Monsoon Improved Arizona's Conditions
Arizona’s wet monsoon season improved the state’s drought conditions, but the West’s water woes are far from over.
At the start of this year, nearly three-quarters of Arizona was in an exceptional drought, the U.S. Drought Monitor’s most severe category. Now, less than 1% of the state is at that level.
“We still have long-term drought affecting large portions of the state, but it has gotten better, particularly in the last month,” said Curtis Riganti with the National Drought Mitigation Center.
Riganti said Arizona’s rainy summer brought much needed short-term relief for agriculture and native plants. In the long term though, it won’t be enough to stave off major shortages along the Colorado River or in other western watersheds. In fact, as conditions have improved in Arizona and New Mexico, they’ve gotten drier in coastal and Rocky Mountain states.
“Northern parts of the West, Northern California, western parts of Washington and Oregon, and a large portion of Montana have gotten worse over the last month,” Riganti said. “It’s kind of a tale of two halves of the region.”

Frank Lloyd Wright’s unique building technique, which became known as the Textile Block System, joined decorative concrete blocks together with reinforcing steel rods to create elegant interior and exterior walls. The John Storer House, constructed in 1923 in the Hollywood Hills, was the second Wright-designed home to feature the Textile Block System. Built in the Mayan Revival style, the Storer House incorporated multiple patterns on its blocks, one of which was the basis for Motawi Tileworks’ 6x6 Storer House decorative tile.
Motawi tiles are striking art pieces and installation accents. Each tile is made by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We embrace variation and handmade beauty: Our time-honored methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence.
Our tile frames are made by Dard Hunter Studios, founded by early Roycrofter Dard Hunter and run by his grandson, Dard Hunter III.

The scouts of Troop 368 had no idea that the injured hiker they carried down Harriman State Park’s Bear Mountain with a crafted splint and stretcher was television journalist Ann Curry, reports New York Daily News.
The scouts of Berkeley Heights, N.J., hiked upon the stranded news woman and her family on April 5 as she sat on the ground, according to Scouting Magazine. The troop was about to pass her by when a concerned scout asked Curry if she was okay.
“No, not really,” Curry said. “I think I broke my ankle.”

Mintz Of Counsel Michelle Capezza joined a panel discussion titled "What Are the Tax Considerations of Same-Sex Spouses Now That They Are Treated as Married for Federal Tax Purposes?" at the Fourth Annual Town Hall Meeting of the New York City Bar.
This event is an opportunity for attorneys, accountants and the general public to hear a discussion and ask questions about the tax considerations of same-sex spouses since the Supreme Court's decision in U.S. v. Windsor, which overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus permitting legally married same-sex spouses to be treated as married for federal tax purposes. The Town Hall meeting will explore many pertinent issues, including:
- What are the tax benefits and burdens of filing as married?
- Should same-sex spouses amend prior filings to file as married?
- What estate and gift tax planning opportunities are now available to same-sex spouses?
- What benefits are now available to same-sex spouses with respect to health coverage, fringe benefits and retirement plans and what actions should employers take with respect to these plans?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global healthcare problem and therefore raising awareness within young learners is imperative. An AMR roadshow was designed to take key stage 4 students' learning ‘out of the classroom’, assess pre-existing knowledge of AMR and determine the impact of the roadshow on knowledge retention. Knowledge and subsequent retention were measured pre- and post-event through a standardised questionnaire. The roadshow significantly improved knowledge and understanding of AMR, which was retained for a minimum of twelve weeks. Engaging and interactive strategies addressing key health issues provide a positive learning experience which contributes to retained knowledge in young learners.

Provided you find a truly licensed, educated and experienced vet, the net vet can help you to have the information and details you need. An online vet can provide you with details on quick questions and medical issues and will inform you when problems or symptoms are cause for concern and that means you will be better equipped to understand when you take your dog on the vet to have an in-person examination.
It is questionable the amount insight and expertise it’s possible to gain from the few weeks’ trained in comparison to getting a veterinary degree and license. For example, in the United Kingdom pet acupuncture can only be done with a licensed veterinarian, whereas in some other European countries people can practice with just one or two weekend seminars under their belt.

THERE is no seriousness in the way the Aquino Administration is addressing the threat to our country and people posed by Daesh. This is the name mainstream Arab Muslims use to refer to the jihadists and Islamic extremists who call themselves the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The BS Aquino crowd’s cavalier approach to the Daesh threat is profoundly unsettling and dangerous because it is merely wishful and not at all realistic.
The nation would have more confidence in the Administration’s stand that there is no credible threat from the ISIS forces, despite recent armed clashes in Mindanao involving Daesh-sounding polemics, if the official conducting the media briefing were a high-level and responsible official of the government’s security services agencies–and not just BS Aquino’s chief communications man.
A field for professionals, not amateurs
It is entirely different when it is the defense secretary, or the interior and local government secretary, or the national security adviser who conducts the briefing. Because then we would know that they understand the subject of national security, because they are in a position to explain a serious threat assessment of the peril posed to the nation by ISIS-allied forces.
They can convey to us what our security agencies really know what the local forces supportive of the Daesh agenda are doing. They would have access to the latest intelligence gathered about Daesh- related action and propaganda in our country.
Without hard information and credible intelligence, what the government would have is no more than guesswork and speculation.
Without belittling the office of and the person of Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr., we submit that he should not attempt to replace the defense secretary, the interior secretary, the national security adviser, and the commanding generals of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the Philippine National Police, who are entrusted the important and delicate task of maintaining peace and order and keeping us Filipinos ever alert and vigilant over every threat to our republic.
Mr. Coloma’s words do not carry the gravity and import of an official who is deeply involved in the protection of the peace and security of our people and our country.
His assurance that there is no credible threat from ISIS is itself not credible, because he made light of real armed clashes that have occurred in the South, wherein eight people were killed, and which involved a group that claimed affiliation with ISIS. The fact that among those slain was a foreign national, an Indonesian, is additional cause for concern.
Regardless of what the AFP and the PNP may have told Mr. Coloma, a threat assessment provided by a high police-military officer would have been better and far more credible and reassuring than anything Coloma has said. Because at least he could competently answer technical questions about the threat level, and provide some knowledge of the links of rebel groups in Mindanao to Islamist forces in the Middle East.
National security deterioration under BSA 3rd
Until the presidency of President Benigno BS Aquino 3rd, our nation has had reason to be confident about its security from outside threats. Peace and national security was always upheld as the first duty of government by every sitting president and his/her Cabinet. It was assigned the highest priority by the President and our armed forces.
The National Security Council was a body that met regularly to assess the national security situation. And regular briefings were provided to the public and the media. Under president Aquino, the council has not met even once, in spite of all the threats faced by the nation. The public does not even know the face or the name of the national security adviser.
The so-called security cluster, which is used as a favorite prop by the government to assure the nation, is not a substitute for a serious and working National Security Council.
God only knows what grave perils really threaten our people and our country.
We are not confident that President Aquino or Mr. Coloma is competent to know what these grave perils are either.
We express our reservations because national security is a field for professionals, not amateurs. Only officials thoroughly conversant with peace and security matters, can provide a competent and credible briefing on a matter as important as the extent of the threat of Daesh to this country.
We express our concern because President Aquino loudly proclaimed last week that the Philippines IS joining the global war on terrorism. His ignorance of the fact that without making an announcement, the Philippine government has been an important player in the anti-terrorism war. We should not doubt that BSA’s words were heard in Daesh citadels, and that some kind of response will be made. We should not fantasize that Aquino’s declaration was dismissed out of hand.
Daesh, the ISIS, is what it is. If we have learned anything from recent history, it is e fact that ISIS does what they are committed to do. We pray that despite the amateurism of President Aquino and his closest associates, there are enough high officials in our national security establishment who are seriously and professionally doing the necessary.

If you are a woman who enjoys wearing clothing that makes a statement, and you wish to appear trendy by wearing the latest fashion in your clothing choices, you may wish to incorporate Bohemian pieces in your everyday attire selections. Bohemian clothing is currently hot on the runways as it is comfortable and inexpensive for those who wear it. Here are a few ideas you can use to enhance your own wardrobe with some "Boho" additions that will be sure to turn heads.
Layer Your Pieces For A Fashionable Look
Dressing in Bohemian clothing is a cross between using "hippie" pieces those in the sixties and seventies were known to wear with the style of the nomad Romani people. This blend of fairly current style with gypsy-like attire can be acquired by layering your clothing to give you an entirely new look.
Consider wearing a long, flowing skirt with hiking boots and a trendy blazer to give the impression of a woman who enjoys the outdoors while remaining relaxed. A peasant-style top can be covered with a solid-colored vest and coupled with a pair of khaki culottes or beachcomber-style pants to acquire the look of elegance while still looking natural. Layering neutral colors along with one piece with a pop of color will help make your appearance classy and rugged at the same time.
Keep Your Comfort In Mind
Bohemian clothing is meant to make you feel comfortable while still exuding a romantic look. Long, flowing skirts or loose maxi dresses allow you to remain warm while showing your feminine side. When selecting pieces for this look, consider buying clothing in a size larger than your normal fit. This will give you extra breathing room and allow you to move around without restriction.
Don't Forget Your Hairstyle And Accessories
To get a true Bohemian look, your hair and accessories should match your apparel. Wear your hair down and add some mousse or gel to add some texture or use a curling iron to make some loose, messy curls. A knit cap can cover the top portion of your head while your hair peeks out from the rim. A scarf can be draped around your neck or around your waist to add some color when wearing primarily neutral colors. Add some earth tone bangle bracelets or a stone necklace and earrings to add femininity. Top your appearance with a pair of work boots to complete the style.
Keep these style tips in mind next time you check out luxurious hand woven Bohemian clothes.

A front-side bus (FSB) is a computer communication interface (bus) that was often used in Intel-chip-based computers during the 1990s and 2000s. The competing EV6 bus served the same function for AMD CPUs. Both typically carry data between the central processing unit (CPU) and a memory controller hub, known as the northbridge.
Depending on the implementation, some computers may also have a back-side bus that connects the CPU to the cache. This bus and the cache connected to it are faster than accessing the system memory (or RAM) via the front-side bus. The speed of the front side bus is often used as an important measure of the performance of a computer.
The original front-side bus architecture has been replaced by HyperTransport, Intel QuickPath Interconnect or Direct Media Interface in modern volume CPUs.
The frequency at which a processor (CPU) operates is determined by applying a clock multiplier to the front-side bus (FSB) speed in some cases. For example, a processor running at 3200 MHz might be using a 400 MHz FSB. This means there is an internal clock multiplier setting (also called bus/core ratio) of 8. That is, the CPU is set to run at 8 times the frequency of the front-side bus: 400 MHz × 8 = 3200 MHz. Different CPU speeds are achieved by varying either the FSB frequency or the CPU multiplier.


Earlier in the year, Steve Irwin's son, Robert, brought a bunch of animals onto The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. And viewers were in awe over just how enthusiastic the young boy was about animals. It was like his father never left us.
And we've got some good news. On last night's episode, Robert brought even more animals onto the show, including a giant turtle that terrified the host.
And Twitter seemed to love the appearance, too.
He's just as popular as his father.

The Sheffield Steelers are a local professional ice hockey team located in Sheffield, playing their home games in the FlyDSA Arena. Named in honour of Sheffield’s industrial past and founded in 1991 following the opening of Sheffield arena in the same year, the popularity of the sport has skyrocketed in the community. TriplePs has worked with the Sheffield Steelers ice hockey team on many software and media development projects, establishing a great relationship with the team as providers of custom solutions to often unique problems.
Mobile App Development
Our first project with the Sheffield Steelers involved developing a bespoke mobile app. The team wanted to connect more with their fans, particularly when the ice hockey season has finished and interaction between the team and fans diminishes.
We helped them address this issue with a custom-built mobile app incorporating news and sales functions. The team could easily communicate news and advertise events through the app, engaging with fans throughout the year. As well as helping the team keep in touch with fans, the app also helps introduce more people in the UK to ice hockey.
Managed IT Services
Our second project with the Sheffield Steelers was to provide managed laptops to be used in and around the Arena.
TriplePs delivered our managed device platform service to the Sheffield Steelers to meet this requirement and continue to provide dedicated support via our industry leading service desk.Learn more about our Managed IT Services

The United States and the European Union are about to escalate a massive trade dispute — a move which could lead to billions in tariffs and higher prices for consumers on everything from cheese to olives.
For roughly 14 years, the political bloc and America have fought over subsidies to aviation giants Boeing (a US company) and Airbus (a European company). In 2004, Washington accused four European countries of providing illegal subsidies to Airbus, which in turn would allow the company to sell their products at a lower price point. (In a free market, at least in theory, a company shouldn’t receive government assistance to help it compete with others.)
In 2005, Airbus retaliated by saying that Boeing had received nearly $20 billion in public subsidies over a period of two decades.
The two companies have since filed appeals and new complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which effectively serves as an international Supreme Court for trade. The dispute has turned into a huge fight, in which both sides claim they’ve been harmed purposefully.
“It’s kids in the sandbox hitting each other with shovels,” says Marie Kasperek, an expert on transatlantic business at the Atlantic Council, a think tank in Washington, DC.
All of which brings us to Tuesday morning, and President Donald Trump’s seemingly out-of-the-blue tweet.
The World Trade Organization finds that the European Union subsidies to Airbus has adversely impacted the United States, which will now put Tariffs on $11 Billion of EU products! The EU has taken advantage of the U.S. on trade for many years. It will soon stop!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 9, 2019
Here’s what’s going on: In May, the WTO ruled that Airbus had indeed received illegal subsidies from European nations. That gives the US the right to impose tariffs on the EU as a way to recoup economic losses. The global body will rule this summer on just how many tariffs the US can impose.
That didn’t stop the Trump administration from proposing about $11 billion in tariffs on Monday night, which would target products such as Swiss and Roquefort cheeses, olives, and various jams. “This case has been in litigation for 14 years, and the time has come for action,” Robert Lighthizer, the US trade representative, said in a Monday statement. Trump simply amplified that message via tweet the following morning.
But wait, there’s more.
The EU is also planning to impose its own set of tariffs on the US after the WTO ruled in March that Boeing received illegal tax breaks, thereby giving it an economic advantage. The bloc “is starting preparations so that [it] can promptly take action based on the arbitrator’s decision on retaliation rights in this case,” an EU spokesperson said on Tuesday. It seems the US announcement prompted the Europeans to make one of their own.
To be clear, nothing has happened yet, and it’ll likely be months before it does. But the Trump administration’s threat couldn’t come at a worse time for the Europeans.
Why the tariff announcement is troubling — and encouraging
The US and Europe are already in the middle of a tense trade dispute. Trump has long accused the bloc of taking advantage of the US economically, and he previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on the EU last May — a move which greatly angered allies.
But in July 2018, both sides reached a sort of truce, agreeing to negotiate and avert a full-blown trade war, which would have meant more tariffs on many more products. It’s therefore possible that Trump’s recent threat will only lead to more tensions between Washington and Brussels at such a sensitive time. And it doesn’t help that EU Parliament elections are coming in May.
But there is some good news despite all of this.
Trump has long railed against the WTO and even threatened to pull the US out of it last year. Axios reported last June that Trump once said “I don’t know why we’re in it. The WTO is designed by the rest of the world to screw the United States.”
That scared many analysts, who believe the global body has helped normalize international trade by helping countries solve their thorniest trade disputes. Trump’s tepid support for the WTO in the Boeing-Airbus dispute might signal that his negative views are changing.
“In some ways, it is good to see that Trump operates within the WTO system that he so often assails,” Jacob Kirkegaard, a global trade expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, told me. “This is — unlike the steel and aluminum tariffs — a WTO compliant trade retaliation, which should not start or escalate a trade war.”
If there’s a positive takeaway, albeit a small one, it’s this.

175g chilled butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing
350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
60g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
115ml double cream
300g 85% cocoa solids cooking chocolate
icing sugar, to dust
In a large bowl, combine the butter with the flour and sugar, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients to make fine crumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and 2 tbsp of ice-cold water and bring together with a spoon. Knead until the pastry comes together into a smooth dough. Cover with cling film and chill for 20 mins.
To make the chocolate ganache filling, heat the cream in a saucepan until lukewarm. When it is just about to simmer, break in the cooking chocolate. Keep on a very low simmer for approximately 2 mins, stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens. Allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6. Roll out the pastry on a surface lightly dusted with flour. Cut out 12 circles with a pastry cutter to line a 12-hole cupcake tray. Bring the off-cuts together and roll out. Cut out 12 slightly smaller lids for the tarts, dusted with more flour if necessary. Stamp out a bunny shape on each of the lids with a small cutter, or cut out by hand with a sharp knife. Grease the tray with butter, then line with the pastry bottoms. Fill the tarts with a heaped teaspoon of the ganache then fit the pastry tops. Press down gently on the edges to fix them.
Bake for 20 mins until golden and cooked through. Allow to cool, then dust with icing sugar. Cover the bunny shapes with the back of a teaspoon to keep the chocolate ganache from being covered in icing sugar. Serve.

Emma Stone is receiving a lot of Oscar buzz for her performance in Poor Things, and first awards are already rolling in. She’s been set as the recipient of the Desert Palm Achievement for the best actress at the upcoming Palm Springs Film Festival.
Stone will receive this award for her recent performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, which was honored with the Golden Lion in Venice earlier this year. She plays a young woman trying to adjust to the world around her after being brought back to life by an eccentric scientist. The film also stars Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, and it will be released on December 8.
Palm Spring Festival chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi announced Stone as the next recipient of this honorary award and said there’s no one better suited for this achievement.
“Emma Stone continues to exert influence as one of the most important actresses of this generation, whose performances are always exceptional no matter the role. In her latest film Poor Things, Emma delivers a burning intensity and character bound for liberation,” said Chandi in a statement.
The Palm Springs Film Festival will take place between January 4 and 15, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon has been chosen as the recipient of the Vanguard Award.

I know not a lot of people are into Manga here, no worries, if you ever find yourself looking for a series to expand your library, by a gift for a MAnga lover whatever, this is the one to get.
If follows the adventures if Hitokiri Battosai otherwise known as Himura Kenshin, post Tokegawa. It's loosely based in history, but not enough to make it fact.
It also bills itself as a romantic series, though by American standards it is not. Everything from the art work to the story line make Watsuki's masterpiece worth the time and effort.
I found most of mine at the library. It's also labeled as Samurai X, just so you know.


Over the weekend Charles Booker, who is running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, stopped in town to meet the people of Hopkinsville.
Booker, a native of Louisville, served in the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing the 43rd district from 2019 to 2021.
Booker came to Hopkinsville on Saturday for a meet and greet, introducing himself, while also listening to the needs of locals in the city. Booker’s rally began downtown at Ferrell’s and ended on the east side of town, at E’s Eats BBQ.
When asked why Booker chose to rally at local food spots, he simply laughed and said he came from a family that loved to cook and preferred to eat at places well known for home cooked meals.
“My life story is really why I’m doing it, I don’t come from politics,” Booker said about why he is running for Senate. “I grew up on the west side on Louisville that’s known as the hood. We didn’t have a lot of money. We had a lot of faith during hard times. I grew up seeing my mom struggle. I am a type one diabetic, I had to ration my insulin because we couldn’t afford it. I’ve had cousins murdered, and I also have three daughters. I am trying to figure out as a father, as someone who loves my family and community, what it will take to make things better. We need leadership at the federal level to make the change, so that’s my plan — fighting for change all over Kentucky.”
While representing the 43rd district as a state legislator, he passed bipartisan legislation that provides emergency lifesaving medication to those who need it regardless of income and wrote the policy that forms the basis upon which voting rights were restored to more than 150,000 Kentuckians by Executive Order.
During his term, he was Kentucky’s youngest black state lawmaker.
“The biggest issue in Kentucky is the structural inequity in generational poverty,” Booker said. “We don’t hear candidates talk about poverty and how it’s connected to everything. Economies have declined, jobs have left, people are struggling to get by, while also trying to receive health care and manage providing food on their tables, all while not even mentioning crime. These issues are happening because we are not investing in the people. The people are the heart of my platform.”
Bookers said he plans to visit Hopkinsville frequently. In hopes to connecting with natives and as well as hearing what the people need.
“We are building this for the people.” he added in closing. “This is not a corporate driven campaign. This is about regular folks standing together to lift our voices. We are doing work to build capacity and to build infrastructure within the system. For too long, the voices of everyday Kentuckians living the struggle have been drowned out by politicians who only want to listen to the rich and the powerful. No more. We believe Kentucky can thrive when we lift up the voices of hardworking people from the forgotten places, and build a new coalition of people from the hood to the holler. Together, we believe we will transform our future.”
