It’s been five years since its last album, Bon Iver, and the world has changed. But so has Justin Vernon. 22, A Million is undoubtedly ambitious, but that is to be expected from an artist whose success is built upon nonconformity to the traditional indie aesthetic (Bar the beards of For Emma, Forever Ago and typing the infernal song titles. I doubt Bon Iver is sadist, but they clearly know their symbol keyboard shortcuts). The whole notion of indie music has changed since its debut album. In Carl Wilson’s brilliant article, “Against ‘Indie,’” that appeared in Slate last year, he states that “the comebacks of many flagship 2000s bands show it’s time to eliminate this out-dated, insular, and implicitly racist term.” This article referenced five bands in particular: Belle & Sebastian, Sleater-Kinney, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sufjan Stevens. While 22, A Million is by no means a comeback album, it is a ‘coming back.’ A lot can happen in five years.
Pitchfork, too, published an article by Sarah Sahim last year called “The Unbearable Whiteness of Indie.” It’s a passionate offensive against the term and probably a bit harsh, but she said what needed to be said: we’re all sick of white hipsters trying to be Arctic Monkeys or bearded folkies picking up banjos, singing about some wise, nonexistent brother in verbed out harmony trying to be Mumford & Sons.
Vernon knew he had to change. Like Neil Young after Heart of Gold, Bon Iver found itself in ‘the middle of the road’ and bored, so tit ran as far as it could in the opposite direction. Predictably, this means that instead of a cheap microphone, a USB interface, and an acoustic guitar, the recording is not only more sonically complicated, but more layered, too. Chris Messina, who engineered the album, and Vernon developed an instrument called the Messina (named after himself), which utilizes plug-ins and hand-built hardware to produce the sounds present on every track.
Listeners will find that 22 is Bon Iver’s most challenging album yet: it is by no means easy listening. Vernon’s work has always had a fascination with the ineffable. If one looks at the trajectory of Vernon’s songwriting from For Emma to 22, then it’s clear he has abandoned anything resembling formal song structure. Songs such as “29 #Stafford APTS,” “666 ʇ,” and the album’s closer, “00000 Million,” could belong on Bon Iver and wouldn’t be out of place, serving as a midpoint to 22.
Vernon sings, “It might be over soon,” on the opening track, “OVER S∞∞N.” Now 35, Vernon may not be having a midlife crisis, but he is questioning his larger relation to the world. It would be reductive to Vernon’s artistic ambitions and insulting to his intelligence to phrase this as a “what does it all mean?” album. Rather, one should view this as an album in which Vernon seeks to place himself within his past and future. If there is an essential thematic question of the album it would be: where am I now?
Though at first listen less lyrically-based than the previous two albums, Vernon has honed his craft even further in songs such as “715- CRΣΣKS,” which vies for the title of most poignant song on the album. Vernon laments, “How we gonna cry? / Cause it once might not mean something.” There is an aching temporality, but Vernon doesn’t slow down or whine, powerless to the passage of time. The song is a jumble of memories, but the song is chiefly concerned with surrendering to the fact that his question might be unanswerable.
“33 ‘GOD’” follows “715” and poses a similar question: “Is the company started?” Bon Iver’s lyrics have always demanded a degree of freedom in interpretation, but the restless quality of the song is best conveyed by Vernon’s rich, quavering falsetto, not his lyrics. Vernon openly acknowledged that working with Kanye West, who once called Vernon his “favorite living artist,” offered him the encouragement to experiment with this album. If one equates 22 to Kanye’s Yeezus, then Vernon’s artistic choices make more sense.
If there is one defining fault of this album, it is that we cannot help but wonder if some of the choices are more random than deliberate. On a song such as “____45____”, Vernon modulates and processes the saxophone brilliantly and it feels intentional. At times, though, one wishes on a song like “666 ʇ” that Vernon hadn’t just rolled the dice a bit more. We don’t deserve an answer, but after 34 minutes one may wonder what if “it once might not mean something?”

Lightning, the moving magnetic north pole, and your compass
We have just resolved the first known instance of a Solara Power M solar panel failure out of the 2,200+ sold by Coastal Climate Control to date. I’m sure there are some out there that will have suffered accidental damage, but this failure was not from abuse, misuse, or a manufacturing defect, but from an act of a god. The Greek god Zeus, to be exact, who apparently sent a lightning bolt earthwards, rendering this panel toast.
Outwardly, the only sign of anything untoward was a small blister in the top foil, but an autopsy revealed a connecting track beneath the blister reduced to cinders, and two tiny zap holes in the aluminum backing plate. Where the lightning went from there and what other damage it caused, if any, is unknown.
Lightning does funny things on boats. I’m talking here not so much of direct hits, which are pretty much terminal events and decidedly unfunny, but rather proximity strikes, of which I believe the Solara panel was a recipient. Proximity strikes are the side effects resulting from a close hit, i.e. lightning striking another boat or object nearby, and the effects can be very subtle and difficult to detect.
The complete failure of an electronic-style breaker panel on one sailboat was explained when someone noticed that the Windex on top of the mast had lost its ears, which were later found on neighboring boats. (Power boaters and land lubbers may need to Google “Windex”, and no, it’s not a glass cleaner).
Another vessel I saw was peppered with numerous pin-holes through the hull along the waterline, no other damage, just the pin-holes, and the most bothersome effect materialized on a boat I chartered in England to take the Yachtmaster Offshore practical exam.
I’d arranged, along with another student, to spend time ahead of the day-long practical exam on the boat, getting to know the vessel and its instruments, and a good job too as it turned out. The owner explained that his boat had been struck by lightning previously and was exhibiting some strange little anomalies. One concerned the needle on the fuel gauge that would suddenly start pinging around without warning. This was non-consequential other than being a mesmerizing distraction, but the fact that the engine was now heavily magnetized had far-reaching results.
CDMVT. If you recognize that series of letters you’re probably a serious old salt with many a sea mile under your seaweed-encrusted webbed feet, or a nautical nerd. British trainee navigators, especially chocolate lovers, remember it as: Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Very Tasty. For others, let me offer a quick, and I hope simple, explanation.
When navigating by compass there are two corrections to apply before a bearing taken from a compass is transferred to a chart:
Variation (V) is the correction required to address the fact that the magnetic north pole, as indicated by the compass, is not actually where the physical North Pole is. (The latter is easy to identify this time of year due to the frequent comings and goings of a reindeer-powered sleigh containing a portly chap in red robes).
Deviation (D) is the correction applied to address local on-board magnetic anomalies that affect a fixed compass that one takes bearings from. Each fixed compass will have a unique chart showing the direction and magnitude of the correction required for each point of the compass.
So, we start with a bearing we take from the compass (C), then we add or subtract Deviation (D) to derive a Magnetic (M) reading. Next we apply Variation (V), which is shown on the chart, and we end up with a True (T) bearing that we can apply to the paper chart by utilizing the compass rose printed on it, hence CDMVT. In practice, the deviation is typically all but ignored, and the magnetic compass rose on the chart is used instead of applying variation, but that technique won’t get high marks in any exam.
Now, imagine you are being tested on your plotting skills and having to go through the whole rigmarole of variation, deviation, etc, when the lightning-induced magnetization of the engine has resulted in a whopping 30° of deviation, as was the case on my chartered boat. Deviation is typically just one or two degrees either way, so this was a real test, which I’m happy to report ended well. I got the ticket OK, and then promptly reverted to electronic gizmo’s for navigation. I went on to bag the Yachtmaster Ocean ticket, but wouldn’t know what to do with a sextant nowadays if it were to fly up my nose, other than to hastily remove it.
Those out there relying on compass bearings might want to pay attention to recent updates on magnetic variation. It seems that magnetic north, after wandering slowly around the Canadian Arctic since records began in the 16th century, has suddenly picked up its skirts and headed off towards Siberia at the rate of 50km a year. It has now crossed the Greenwich Meridian, and experts predict it will continue on its current trajectory for about 500km.
The strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is also reported to be weakening, and there is talk that the field could even reverse its polarity at some point, which geological records suggest last happened 780 millenniums ago. This phenomenon happens apparently every 500,000 years, so we are statistically overdue for a polarity flip, but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. However, it would lead to nasty stuff like communication systems and electrical grids crashing due to the effects of increased solar and cosmic radiation, not to mention the confusion if one were taking a navigation exam at the time.
The earth’s magnetic field is supposedly created by molten iron swishing around in the earth’s core, and I say “supposedly”, because as far as I know no one’s actually been down there to check it out. Strangely, the magnetic South Pole is very stable, with none of the wanderlust of its northern counterpart, but maybe that will change if the poles invert and Santa has to pack up the workshop and move himself and his elves down south.
Barring the wrath of Zeus and other quirks of fate, the crew at Coastal wish all of our friends, customers and suppliers a happy holiday season, and thanks for listening in 2019.

15 speakers and an optical microphone, operated by a software incorporating an innovative Immersive Sound protocol with Dolby Atmos Music encoder.
The optical microphone sways like a pendulum above the head of the listener, creating a meditative effect and producing a jarring feedback sound that gives the repeated unanswered question a sense of urgency. The sway of the pendulum reflects the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of life; a reality imposed by a force majeure.
Yuvi Kahana (born 1966), PhD, is a researcher in the field of immersive sound and psychoacoustics. He lectures around the world in his unique field – the use of optical sensors for the study of speech and hearing in fMRI systems (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and their effect on the cognitive system, body and soul. He develops and presents his works in an Anechoic Chamber.
“As I walked around the Crafts Arcade in the Man and his Work Center at the Eretz Israel Museum, I looked at artisans’ tools that have long ceased to be used. While I wandered through this space I closed my eyes and imagined the sounds of the market and its surroundings. These discrete sounds created the foundation for the exhibit.
From there I integrated some research findings that differentiate between the inability to hear and the inability to pay attention; many of us hear extremely well but suffer from personal or cultural attention deficit. These findings feed into the central theme of the exhibit and are reflected in the immersive 3-dimensional sound scape.״
The exhibit highlights the issue of attention deficit within the intimate atmosphere experienced by the visitor. The artist invites us to take 5 minutes out and immerse ourselves in a world of sounds and imagination.
Referencing The Unanswered Question by Charles Ives (1908), the exhibit asks us to consider whether, in a world of continual noise and distractions, it is even possible to ask a question.

Monthly Archives: November 2011
This year is different. I knew that I couldn’t finish a novel at 50k, and I knew that if I focused and wrote, I could write more than 50k in a month. So I set my goal to 75k or a finished novel, whichever I would be able to do in a month.
Then on the first day of NaNo I participated in a challenge set forth by another overachiever, and I set a Day One Ridiculous Goal (DORG) for myself of 15k. I thought I was crazy, but I also figured that it wouldn’t hurt to try. I thought I would get as close as I could and then just be proud of that. Instead, I wrote 19k. I could have written more if I hadn’t been at a write-in and needed to drive home before midnight. Next year I am definitely aiming for 20k on the first day.
I hit 50k a little bit after noon on day 6. I hit 100k on day 14. I finished my first novel (Tilt Your Head and Smile) at 103k exactly. I am currently working on a fan fiction piece I just started and my NaNo from last year, which still needs to be finished. I am also participating in 50k weekend, during which time I will be starting a new story, whose plot I have only started to sketch out. I might be pantsing that more than I usually like, but that’s okay. It’ll be part of the challenge.
I’m sitting at 143k right now. I’m hoping to hit 150k tonight, but I will definitely do it by tomorrow at the latest. If I succeed in the 50k weekend challenge (the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving), I will have a total word count of over 200k for this month. That is more than I ever thought I could possibly do. I am so proud of myself, and that is a feeling I have not felt in a really long time.
Thank you, National Novel Writing Month, for giving me a little bit of confidence back, even if it’s for something that most people don’t really understand.

Every BLUES holder can earn more BLUES by staking BLUES in Blueshift's Yield Pools. You can find the pools on the Yield Pools page of Blueshift App.
The Blueshift Smart Minting System distributes 1 BLUES per block as a reward among BLUES holders that have staked their tokens in Yield Pools. This 1 BLUES is distributed among stakers of both Blueshift pools: Manual BLUES pool and Auto HODL BLUES pool.
As soon as you start staking in Yield Pools, you immediately start earning BLUES. The exact amount of rewards depends on the pools` APR (in manual pool) or APY (in auto pool).
For example, if I stake 1000 BLUES in a yield pool with an APR (or APY) of 150%, I will receive approximately* 1500 BLUES more in one year time. In total, this will result in around 2500 BLUES, assuming that neither additional BLUES were staked or unstaked.
*APR and APY are dynamic values and depend on total BLUES amount staked in the pool.
Difference between Manual and Auto HODL pools
There are two main differences.
- In the Manual pool your rewards are accumulating in your reward account. You can harvest rewards manually by clicking the "Harvest" button whenever you want. You can add the tokens to your wallet or compound them to your stake to earn faster. For each harvest or compound you have to pay a network transaction fee.
- In case of the Auto HODL pool your rewards are accumulated and added to your stake every time when Auto BLUES Bounty are claimed without your intervention. That means that your rewards are automatically compounded several times a day and added to your stake. In this way, you start earning faster with no need to harvest and increase your stake manually.
Extra HODL reward:
- In case of the Auto HODL pool you earn additional rewards every time someone unstakes their funds. At the same time though, if you unstake your funds before the TVL goals are reached, you will lose a certain part of your locked rewards. The lost rewards are distributed among all Auto HODL pool stakers. This is how Blueshift wants to reward long-term holders.
Auto BLUES Bounty
Blueshift`s protocol rewards users helping the Auto HODL pool to compound newly earned rewards:
Every user can claim the Auto BLUES Bounty reward anytime.
Every time someone claims the bounty all Auto HODL pool new earnings are compounded and added to the pool stake.

A Virginia developer of senior citizen housing has stopped construction on a Dublin assisted-living center, leaving an unfinished steel skeleton lurking on the suburb’s otherwise rosy development horizon.
Sunrise Senior Living Inc. pulled the plug on the facility, one of 26 it had under construction at year-end, shortly after telling its shareholders it lost $439 million in 2008, six times its loss of $70 million the year before.
The publicly traded company disclosed March 2 it has cash to meet obligations through March 30. It’s out of compliance on $119 million in debt, and lenders have cut off new loans and lines of credit. The company said it may be forced into bankruptcy unless it can restructure its financing.
“They made attempts to find alternative means of financing but struck out,” said Mitch Lapin, senior project manager for the Dublin project’s contractor, Fortney & Weygandt Inc. “We are actively searching for people who are interested in either taking it over or working with Sunrise to complete the job.”
Dublin was Sunrise’s only project in Ohio, where it runs 20 communities. It owns or managers 435 communities across the nation, ranging from independent senior apartments to nursing homes.
The McLean-based company said it suspended two projects, but didn’t identify them. A spokeswoman said Sunrise continues to operate its existing centers and won’t resume construction in Dublin “until market conditions improve.”
Dublin had just finished recounting its wins for 2008 in a report to residents: Amid the recession, income tax collections grew by 4.4 percent and the city attracted several new businesses while stalwarts such as Cardinal Health Inc. had expanded.
Abandoning a project in Dublin is “unusual,” said Dana McDaniel, economic development director, but the building permit remains valid if the company obtains financing. The center, which was to be Sunrise’s sixth in Central Ohio, is in the Shamrock Crossing development, across Dublin-Granville Road from Wendy’s International Inc.’s office complex.
Dublin-based developer Stavroff Interests Ltd. has described Shamrock as a new eastern gateway to the city. A service center for Germain Motor Co.’s Lexus dealership opened there a year ago, and a jeweler and other retailers are operating. Another retail development, the Shoppes at River Ridge, opened in 2007 just west of Shamrock Crossing.
This was the first job cancellation in 30 years for North Olmsted-based Fortney & Weygandt.
“It’s our intent to finish the job. The only question is when,” Lapin said.
Fortney & Weygandt had done $2.5 million of work on the $10.7 million job. The steelwork is nearly finished for the three-story, 66,000-square-foot building, which was to include 80 apartments. Concrete is one-third complete and preparation had started for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
Sunrise paid for work through January and promised to pay the February bill due at the end of March, Lapin said. The company also said it would pay Fortney & Weygandt for extra work to meet city requests after the decision to mothball the project, such as fencing the building and installing landscaping.
Sunrise paid $1.3 million in May for its nearly 6-acre spot in Shamrock Crossing. Stavroff isn’t actively marketing the development’s remaining 7 acres for now, so the unfinished project looming in the background won’t hurt efforts unless it stays that way too long, associate Kevin McCauley said.
“The market is dead anyway,” he said.
Stavroff has had a hard time getting information from Sunrise since the shutdown, McCauley said.
“Some of our contacts are just no longer there,” he said.
A “perfect storm” is blocking expansion in general for the assisted living and long-term care industry, said Chris Joos, health care partner with accountant Plante & Moran PLLC in Columbus. Declines in real estate values and investments cut the assets retirees depend on to move to the centers. Add the restricted credit market, and owners fear they can’t fill new units, he said.
“Even providers with strong financial positions still have to wait to expand facilities until credit frees up from financial institutions,” Joos said in an e-mail to Columbus Business First.
Few assisted-living projects are coming out for bid lately, Lapin said.
Nursing home operators are having similar credit problems, said Peter Van Runkle, executive director of the Ohio Health Care Association trade group.
“Financing is difficult to get, loans are being ‘called’ for minor defaults, and providers (are) having terms on existing financing increased,” he said in an e-mail.

The museum expansion by the architecture offices of the Schwob & Sutter, Bubendorf was awarded the architectural prize for the Canton Solothurn in 1999. The lengthy new addition north or the approximately 20-year older existing museum facility marks the transition from a settlement structure to a free landscape.
The building is understood as a conservation facility for the valuable exhibition pieces stored therein and is presented in a modest manner accordingly. The simple, clear forms contrast nicely to the Jurassic landscape. From the outside to the interior, the materials become more noticeably refined both visually as well as in a haptic sense. Smooth, white stucco walls form the background for exquisite exhibition pieces. The public museum areas, especially the reception area and connecting hallways, provide alternating and surprising insights and views. Attached to the reception area, the glassed cube from the museum's restaurant creates spatial tension and offers the visitor a view into the expanse from the terrace.
Chalky-yellow colorations, inspired by the surrounding Jurassic flues enhance the building's erratic and monolithic impression. The exhibition rooms themselves have a restful character. The lighting supports the presentation of the objects.

Hagerstown teen charged with attempted murder in Sunday gunfight
Hagerstown police have charged a teenager as an adult with first-degree attempted murder after a Sunday gunfight on High Street.
Malachi Brian Younger, 17, of George Street, was also charged with assault, reckless endangerment and firearms offenses in the incident, which occurred shortly before 6 p.m. on the 100 block of High Street. He was wounded in the leg in the incident.
“He started a gunfight. He was the loser of the gunfight,” Deputy State’s Attorney Joseph Michael said during Younger’s bond hearing Wednesday in Washington County District Court.
Visiting District Judge Janice R. Ambrose ordered Younger to remain held without bond. However, she did order his transfer to a juvenile detention facility and ordered a study to be conducted to determine if Younger’s case should be transferred to juvenile court.
Younger appeared in court by closed-circuit television. He was sitting in a wheelchair.
At 5:54 p.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to the High Street area for a report of 10 to 15 shots being fired, with at least one person being hit, the charging document said.
Police learned there were two gunmen firing at each other in the middle of the street and that one was struck in the leg, the document said. The wounded male left in a white four-door vehicle driven by an unknown female.
Officers found two sets of shell casings of different calibers — one set in front of 137 High St. and another in front of 145 High St., the document said. A total of 15 shell casings were found.
Police reviewed a private security camera showing a male walking out of 137 High St. and in the direction of 145 High St., the document said. The male appears to get into an argument with someone down the street.
The male starts to retreat back toward the house he came from and, at one point, ducks behind a car, the document said. A dark mark — possibly a bullet hole — appears on the car, the document said.
The male pulls out a semiautomatic handgun and fires several shots down the street, the document said. He then flees into an alley next to 137 High St.
Fourteen minutes after the initial call, police were notified that Younger showed up at Meritus Medical Center with a wound to his upper right leg, the document said. The driver of the white four-door vehicle that took him there was identified as a woman relative.
Younger was initially uncooperative with a detective who spoke with him, the document said.
Investigators interviewed a witness who saw two males and a female arguing in the street, the document said. That person said one male, later identified as Younger, pulled a handgun and fired in the direction of 137 High St.
The second male returned fire and hit Younger, the document said. He fell to the ground and the female got out of the white four-door, picked up the handgun Younger had and threw it into a storm drain, the document said.
Younger got up and into the vehicle, which then sped away, the document said.
Officers found a Glock 17 9 mm handgun with an extended magazine, the document said. The gun’s serial number identified it as a firearm reported stolen in a 2017 burglary in Virginia.
“It was found with his blood on it in a storm drain,” Michael told Ambrose.
Younger’s relative told a detective who interviewed her at the hospital that she had gotten into an argument with a man she knows as “J” over their personal relationship, the document said.
She told police Younger stepped in and began arguing with “J,” the document said. As “J” was walking away, Younger started firing at him and he returned fire, hitting Younger in the leg.
The charging document did not identify “J.”

Despite being known as the Sunshine State, Florida still has its fair share of devastating natural disasters. In fact, just last year, Hurricane Elsa brought some heavy rains and strong winds along its path, uprooting trees and flooding a number of homes and commercial properties.
Having a homeowners’ insurance policy covering hurricane damages can be a huge relief during such trying times. Unfortunately, many policyholders will soon find out that another trauma is waiting for them once they file their insurance claim.
As we all know, most insurance companies make it difficult for policyholders to recover their well-deserved compensation. Most insurers can wrongfully delay, underpay, or deny claims, even if you’ve been faithfully paying for your premiums every month. After all, they are in the business of money.
If you’re currently experiencing such frustrations, the best thing to do is contact a hurricane insurance lawyer like Atty. Rafael Gonzalez. He can help fastrack your claims process, get you the right amount of compensation you deserve, and represent you in court during insurance lawsuits.

How durable is Wicked Ball?
Created by: Vincent Chen
Modified on: Wed, 5 Jan, 2022 at 5:52 PM
The material that we used on the inner layer of our outer shell is PC, therefore, the hardness is pretty high. For the outer layer, we use TPU which has a softer texture so it will neither harm the pets nor make too much noise. Although the Wicked Ball is not strictly a chewing toy, we did test Wicked Ball's resistance to biting, gnawing, and scratching with over 100 dogs and cats. Eventually, Wicked Ball has passed the tests with most of the dogs and all of the cats. Of course, some smart dogs, cats will do everything possible to break the Wicked Ball, but we accept all challenges. Though, if you believe your dog is a heavy chewer, you may stay with your dog the first time that it plays with our Wicked Ball and see how the chewing goes.

A single facility has hundreds of valves to monitor every single task from the operation of turbine to ventilation and systems. This ensures complete safety of equipment as well as personnel. The size of the valve can be less than one inch to many feet in terms of diameter.
While some valves are made for manual operation most of them need remote or automatic operation. Technicians as well as operators should consider different kinds of actuators to operate them, and get a basic understanding of their working.
What is a Valve Actuator?
Valve actuators are basically those devices that help in positioning a valve. These valves are used to completely open as well as close a valve. When in state of an application, they need constant and accurate control that results in regulation of the fuel movement to a gas turbine. Novaspect valves also aid in modulating the placement of the valve.
Applications of an actuator
There are various applications that require use of an actuator. These are:
- Automation of a process
- Positioning of valves that needs large quantities of torque to function
- Immediate operation of systems that help in the protection of equipment and personnel from risky circumstances
- Used in controlling regions where it is impossible to perform manual operation
- Continuously adjusting systems that should maintain much-needed parameters
What are the different types of an actuator?
There are mainly 3 kinds of automatic valve actuators. These are controlled by electrical power, pressurized air, or via using hydraulic force.
Factors to consider when choosing the appropriate actuator
To choose the right actuator, following considerations need to be done:
- The valve application
- The available means to control the actuator
- The speed where the valve has to operate
- The total force needed for the functioning of the valve
- The kind of valve that has to be operated
- The cost with respect to the advantage for using each kind of actuator
What are Pneumatic actuators?
Pneumatic actuators work by using pressurized air in order to operate any valve. This is done by the application of the air in a forceful manner to a diaphragm or piston that is joined to the stem of the valve. These actuators provide semi-automatic or automatic operation of the valve. They are the most used kinds of actuators due to their simplified design and dependability.
What are the benefits of a pneumatic actuator?
The advantages of pneumatic actuators include:
- Simplicity of design
- Low risk of catching fire
- Quick stroking speeds
- Low price
- Ability to store pressurized air so that the valves can function even when power gets lost
What are the drawbacks of a pneumatic actuator?
The disadvantages of pneumatic actuators include:
- Inferior performance at low speeds
- Compressibility of air that results in varying speeds of movement of shaft
- Impossible to accurately control position
- Due to its simple design, low cost and high reliability, these actuators are helpful in several types of industrial applications.
Hope this article has given you a good amount of information regarding a valve actuator.

Michael Symon's Mac and Cheese with Rosemary, Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto
Rigatoni with Rosemary, Goat Cheese, and Prosciutto
*From Michael Symon
1 pound rigatoni
4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped
8 ounces goat cheese
4-6 slices prosciutto, chopped (or you could use shredded chicken or bacon-or leave all meat out and make it vegetarian)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a large saucepan over high heat, add heavy cream, rosemary, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring just to a simmer and then lower the heat to medium. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Continue cooking until it coats the back of a spoon.
Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until just al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of cooking liquid. Add chunks of goat cheese to the sauce. Stir and add pasta, thinning with cooking liquid, if necessary.
Bring sauce back to just a simmer and adjust seasoning to taste.

The Ministry of Planning and Economic Development detailed Saturday the “Citizen Investment Plan”, a government blueprint for improving living standards of citizens in various governorates, for Kafr el-Sheikh during the fiscal year 2020/21.
The plan, the ministry said, is being implemented for the second year in a row seeking to achieve greater participation by the citizens in its making and follow-up.
Minister of Planning and Economic Development Hala el-Saeed said the plan contains sustainable development priorities for the new fiscal year as well as the economic indicators of each governorate.
It also includes investments figures allocated for each governorate within the state budget, the minister said, noting that the plan is evidence-based and makes use of databases and performance indicators in all development areas in Egypt’s 27 governorates.
Saeed revealed that around 353 projects would be implemented in Kafr el-Sheikh within the 2020/21 budget.
She added that LE3.2 billion (roughly $206 million) would be allocated for the governorate within the same budget, noting that this amount is 23 per cent higher than the investments allocated for the same governorate during the previous fiscal year.
Investments earmarked for Kafr el-Sheikh make up 2.1 per cent of overall national investments in the budget, the minister said.
Saeed said that 39.8 per cent of these investments would go to the housing sector in the governorate and 17.4 per cent to the transport sector.

Bringmeister optomizes the online grocery shopping experience
Share this Story
Founded in 1997, Bringmeister GmbH is an online grocery store from Kaiser’s Tengelmann, a German chain of supermarkets with more than 550 stores across Germany. Offering more than 8,000 items—everything from fresh groceries to drugstore products—Bringmeister makes deliveries directly to customers’ doors in the Berlin and Munich markets.
Making online grocery shopping easy for everyone
Thanks to Bringmeister GmbH, customers can order groceries from the comfort of their living room and have them delivered at their convenience. The secret to the company’s success is ease of use. “If the website is too slow, customers can’t find the products they want, or the checkout process isn’t trivially easy, then people won’t use our service,” says Urs Martini, chief technology officer at Bringmeister. “The user experience is our top goal because not only do we want to attract younger clientele who grew up using technology, but older people as well.”
Achieving its goal of making the shopping and checkout process as easy and pleasant as possible wasn’t an easy task for Bringmeister, especially because it had very little insight into real-time website performance. “When I started here a year ago, there was no real performance data available,” says Martini. “We had to rely on monthly reports from our server hosting company for information about availability and performance.”
Martini knew his team needed a better way to identify performance bottlenecks and pinpoint their root causes. Magento, Bringmeister’s e-commerce platform, uses an EAV (entity, attribute, value) design for its database to achieve nearly unlimited scalability. The tricky part is that Magento has hundreds of database tables and relatively complex SQL is required to retrieve data. “I decided within three weeks of joining the company that we needed New Relic,” says Martini. “It was one of the first tools I introduced.”
Bringing clarity and insight to software performance
From previous experience, Martini believed that New Relic offered the best software analytics solution available for delivering insight into real-time and historical performance of the website and e-commerce software powering it. “New Relic gives you the data you need right out of the box, with no extensive configuration or code changes,” says Martini. After starting with New Relic application performance monitoring, Bringmeister added New Relic browser monitoring to its toolkit as well.
New Relic quickly became Bringmeister’s core tool for tracking important key performance indicators. “New Relic is the best tool on the market,” says Martini. “It’s a catalyst for change and improvement that helps us understand exactly where to focus our time and effort for the greatest impact.”
When Bringmeister decided to migrate to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, it was New Relic that enabled the DevOps team to demonstrate the value of the effort. “New Relic confirmed that it was the right step to take,” says Martini. “For instance, we could show that performance had improved and downtime was reduced. Before migrating to Amazon Web Services, our uptime was 99.5 and now it is 99.995.”
Creating the ideal grocery shopping experience
To make the online grocery shopping experience attractive to all types of people, the Bringmeister DevOps team knows that everything has to be perfect when it comes to the website and its supporting software. “We follow the Amazon principle: to be extremely fast and have very good search engine results,” says Martini. “New Relic plays a vital role in helping us do that.”
Martini appreciates the ability of New Relic to track performance issues down to the transaction level to uncover the cause of problems. “With New Relic, we can see why suddenly one customer is hanging for 30 seconds,” says Martini. “Whether it’s a database lock, a dependency from an external system which is experiencing problems, or some other performance issue, we can use session traces in New Relic to see exactly what is going on.”
The Bringmeister team is now planning a major surge in performance optimization efforts thanks to the insight that New Relic provides. “New Relic is extremely helpful for identifying areas where we can further optimize, whether they are quick wins or something that will take greater effort,” says Martini. “The performance optimization projects on our roadmap right now are there solely because New Relic helped us identify them.”

New patent filings: SweetBiotix®
05 April 2018
OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing compounds to tackle obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and skin care, announces three new patent filings. These filings protect the production methods and product application areas arising from OptiBiotix's SweetBiotix® product development programmes. These include:-
- Natural high intensity sweeteners with improved flavour profile and microbiome modulating functionality. Human studies (announced 11 July 2017) have demonstrated these have a good flavour profile and sweetness of between 140X and 223X of sucrose at equivalent concentrations.
- Sweet natural healthy fibres being developed as potential bulk sugar replacements which are not digested in the human gut, and hence calorie free. Human studies (announced 23 January 2018) have demonstrated these sweet fibres had the highest sweetness and lowest off-flavours when compared to a wide range of existing sugars and fibres and sucrose.
These patent filings follow on from a total of five successful independent human studies in which OptiBiotix's products and comparator samples were tested by an expert panel of 11 panellists who rated 11 products attributes (e.g sweetness, aftertaste, off- flavour, bitterness etc) compared to sucrose.
The Company believes that these patent filings add a further layer of protection to its intellectual property portfolio, create a highly valuable asset and broaden the number of product application and partnering opportunities. These now include use as a sweetener and/or functional food ingredient for foods, beverages, cereals, breaded products, dairy products, and incorporation into confectionary, snacks, and meals, or use as a standalone sweetener product.
Given that the global sweetener market, currently dominated by sugar, is forecast to reach $112bn by 2022 (Mordor Intelligence, 2017), the Company believes filing these additional patents will help protect its inventions and fully exploit the commercial opportunities being explored with industry partners.
Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "We are pleased to announce the filing of these patents which add a further level of protection and value to our SweetBiotix® product development programmes. Given the scale of the opportunity and the high level of interest we have seen from multiple corporate partners, these flings help protect OptiBiotix's valuable inventions and broaden the number of product application opportunities. With growing concerns over traditional sugars and artificial sweeteners, SweetBiotix® has the potential to address a global consumer and industry need, addressing international concerns over the impact of sugar on obesity, with the prospect of replacing 'unhealthy' sugars in existing products with non-digestible, low calorie, healthy, SweetBiotix.®"

The New Zealand sport's betting agency the TAB says turnover for the Cup race was around $1.8 million.
It says there were approximately 154,000 bets placed on the race including a $5,000 bet on the winner which yielded $42,500.
Adore Me was paying $8.50 for the win.


Britain will lose its ability to carry out major amphibious operations under cost-cutting plans being considered to sell off warships, MPs and military leaders have warned.
Naval officials in Chile and Brazil are reported to be lining up to buy two Royal Navy amphibious landing platform ships and Type-23 frigates after UK officials told them they may be put up for sale from next year.
The two nations have been told warships including HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark could be available second hand as a result of cost-cutting plans being considered by the Forces, defence journal Jane’s reported.
The Ministry of Defence strongly denied it would cut the Navy’s overstretched fleet of frigates, and said...

When I started receiving Blue Apron meals, I found that I was really enjoying the process of cooking. The recipes were so detailed that you felt really confident in them, and then when the meal turned out with absolutely spectacular flavors, as most of them do, it was such positive feedback. I learned new techniques, and became more comfortable with techniques I'd used before.
Today I shared this post with Rob on Facebook:
I'm happy that the making isn't so much a "con" anymore. :-)
So in addition to the Blue Apron meals, I've been cooking some other meals as well. Sometimes it's just using ingredients in a way that I learned through Blue Apron, but combining that dish with other things we happen to have in the house. Sometimes I actually plan enough that I pick up ingredients while grocery shopping for a specific recipe.
One of my favorite Mexican meals is enchiladas with a cheesy sour cream sauce, instead of a red sauce. Enchiladas are good without onions or garlic, they don't call for nuts, and they make great left-overs. In looking for a recipe for the sauce, I came across the Pioneer Woman's recipe, and tried it out. It turned out very yummy, but Emma thought it needed more spiciness, and I agreed it could use something else in the filling.
So today I made the enchiladas again, but modified the recipe a bit. And while the end result is delicious, I also really enjoyed the process. Shredding chicken, roasting a poblano pepper, dicing a jalapeno pepper, chopping fresh cilantro. Grating the cheese, adding the spices, spooning the filling into the tortillas and rolling them up, and finally pouring that cheesy sour cream sauce all over the pan of enchiladas and putting them in the oven.
|Yum! and the remaining cilantro looks so pretty and green :-)|


It is the Gran Turismo in evening wear
A LONG HISTORY AND A LONG CAREER
The 400 series aimed for an important place in the luxury car market. It was definitely a success since it was produced in some 2,900 units.
In 1972, Pininfarina designed a 365 with new bodywork that Ferrari presented at the Paris Motor Show under the name 365 GT4 2+2. If its spiritual predecessor was the 365 GT 2+2, technically the new 365 was based on a 365 GTC/4 chassis extended by 15 cm, and also reused its engine and some of its interior design.
This magnificent bodywork, of timeless classicism, was in production for 17 years and became successively :
365 GT4 2+2 (1972-1976, 525 cars produced)
400 (1976-1979, 502 cars produced)
400i (1979-1985, 1,308 cars produced)
412 (1985-1989, 576 cars produced)
This timeless masterpiece of PININFARINA will subtly evolve during the two decades of production, without altering the regularity of the orders placed with the Maranello factory, proof that the model perfectly matched the aspirations of the targeted clientele: driving two people with their families, in a Ferrari whose elegant and discreet line would not provoke disapproval, but simply respect, or simple curiosity. A journalist from Automobile Classique wrote rather radically about it “its fascinating beauty does not touch the ignorant, and that’s fine”.
“A Ferrari with an elegant and discreet line does not cause eye contact, but simply respect, or simple curiosity.”
While it is easy to differentiate a 365GT4 2+2 from a 365 GT 2+2, it is much more difficult to differentiate it from a 400 or 412.
And yet you will find that the 400 lost the three round rear lights to two larger diameter lights, as well as the chrome mirrors to plastic mirrors but added a front lip spoiler. The 400 also lost the centre nut rims of its predecessor.
From mid-1982, the interior of the 400 was redesigned, namely the seats and the centre console, and the external front grille was redesigned. The later 412 was fitted with new rims and also features a different trunk line (raised for improve aerodynamics) and body-coloured bumpers. The front indicators reverted to all white that was adopted by most (but not all) 365 GT4 2+2s.

Ok, I got an Avatar B410 with the Foster horn and I run a GK 700RB-II head into it. My question is, has anyone else rewired the horn to be powered by the GK's tweeter amp? The little 50 watt tweeter only amp inside the 700 and 1001RB heads? I'm curious if it's worth doing, and how I would go about doing it, or if I'm just wasting my time. I know a lot of people complain about some hiss from the Foster horn and I'm thinking this might help a bit, but who knows.

Twenty-two different mayors from North and South American cities have banded together to join the Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance to be able to make better informed decisions based on data collection.
The group aims at being able to target issues such as virus outbreaks, address inequalities, managing hospital capacities, communicating with the public, and understanding lockdown policies.
“These local governments are already leaders in using data to transform public services and deliver more for residents, especially those who’ve been left behind,” said James Anderson, who leads Government Innovation at Bloomberg Philanthropies. “The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how central data is to government that works. The Bloomberg Philanthropies City Data Alliance will help these cities detect problems earlier, manage resources more effectively, and target resources to those who need them.”
The investment total of this new group will be $60 million, which will give mayors and their senior staff training around using critical data capacity in areas like performance management, procurement, evaluation, or data as a service.
Some of the cities that will be participating in this group include cities from seven different countries, including Baltimore, Md.; Baton Rouge, La.; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Charleston, S.C.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Detroit; Fortaleza, Brazil; and Guadalajara, Mexico.
“This group was hand-selected because they’ve already demonstrated they’re committed to using data to drive impacts in their communities,” says Beth Blauer, associate vice provost for Public Sector Innovation at Johns Hopkins University and a leader of the new program. “But the reality is that no city has fully integrated this practice across all of their work. The City Data Alliance will define the future together with these mayors who already have been pushing the field forward.”

Why are the seeds of this species difficult? Some species of the Poaceae family can produce a high proportion of empty seeds, which collectors and curators must take account of. The seeds may have physiological dormancy, which can be overcome with a pre-chill treatment.
Pennisetum clandestinum (Image: S. Wood, RBG Kew)
This species most probably has Orthodox seeds (based on other species in the same genus) - dry to 15-20% eRH and store at -20ºC, or as cool as possible.
Germinate on agar, germination paper or sand, under alternating temperature regimes of 35/20ºC or 30/20ºC (with an 8/16hr photoperiod). Perform a cut-test on any seeds that have not germinated, to check for empty seeds. All empty seeds are non-viable in germination tests.
The seeds of this species may be Physiologically Dormant (based on other species in the same genus). If germination is low, use a moist pre-chill treatment before germinating the seeds at their optimum temperature.
(Image: S. Wood, RBG Kew)
The occurrence of empty seeds is common in wild-collected accessions of some Poaceae species. Empty seeds may have a normal seed coat but an absent or under-developed embryo, or limited storage tissue.
The seed (2.5 mm x 1.5 mm) is a caryopsis. The seed is oval in shape, pointed with a persistent short style.
The seeds are dark brown at maturity.
Accepted name: Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. ex Chiov.
Synonyms: Pennisetum inclusum Pilg.
Common name: kikuyu grass

HydroLatch (Flood Gates)
Flood protection is also necessary underground so that flood water does not come through the “back door , i.e. through the sewer, to flood streets and houses. Streams and rivers overflow their banks more often, more intensively and above all, faster in these days. The warning and reaction times are shorter. Sand bag barriers and manually operated valves are time and work intensive.
All overflow sills, inlets and outlet sewers in combined and stormwater networks can be secured with HydroLatch® flood gates to prevent flooding of the sewer network. The flood gates work automatically and without electricity. The HydroLatch® flood gates also allow a safe overflow from combined and stormwater networks during rain. Even if the HydroLatch® flood gates are flooded, drainage occurs as long as the water pressure in the sewer network is higher. The special GNA CSO seal is reliable and durable. All HydroLatch® flood gates are project-designed so that the gate cover is light (low resistance = large flow-rate) but heavy enough to prevent lifting by flow velocity.
Ask us, we won’t leave you out in the rain.
The top-hinged HydroLatch® flood gates Model HLA-HK can be applied wherever there is sufficient height difference. They are designed as rectangular or round flood gates. They are installed in protected overflows and designed with more smooth-running covers than those positioned in the flow of water. This is achieved by extra weights or the angle of inclination.
Bottom-hinged HydroLatch® flood gates Model HLA-FK can be applied wherever the water level difference is very small. The flood gates designed as floatable fish-belly gates. They can be adjusted exactly to the floating up point by filling counter weight water inside. The fish-belly gates have the advantage of low losses and are installed protected in overflow chambers.
- Robust, stainless steel
- No electricity
- High operational reliability
- Easy and fast to install
- With fixing materials, frames, sealing and cover
- Durable, reliable flood gate sealing
- Opens on with smallest water pressure
- Angle of inclination optional
- Weights optional
- Warning system optional
- Engineering support from GNA CSO

Citation: L. Wayne. "Dancing With the Female Archetype: An Experience with Ayahuasca (exp112068)". Erowid.org. Jun 29, 2018. erowid.org/exp/112068
There is a very circumscribed place in organic nature that has, I think, important implications for explorers of the human psyche. I refer to the psychedelic compound dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
After months of planning, I was finally there. Isolated and detached from ordinary life in the Peruvian mountains, at an Ayahuasca retreat together with my girlfriend Maya, four other guests, three retreat leaders and a native shaman. The center itself was made up of semi-primitive houses, a picturesque garden surrounded by a river, multitudes of hummingbirds, flora and two majestic mountains encapsulating the area. It was beautiful. With about eighty percent of females there, the retreat had a strong feminine character which became the quintessential aspect of my ceremonial experience.
Having already completed two ceremonies during the week, I had now accumulated enough confidence to consume a very high dose of the medicine. I went into the maloka in which the ceremonies were held which was highly authentic in its own, spartan, way. It was a dark, open space, sized to house about twenty people. A wall solely made out of stones was decorated with intricate paintings of Buddhist mandalas and visionary paintings done by ayahuasquero. The air was fresh, delivered by the mountains, and a smell of flowery scent and shaman-smoked tobacco hung in the air. My personal spot had a mattress, thick blankets, some pillows and a bucket to purge in.
I was called upon to the shaman to present my intention for the encounter with the realms ayahuasca. I communicated to the shaman, who was a man pushing sixties, that I was looking to expand my circle of empathy in order to become more centered, loving and compassionate.
I was looking to expand my circle of empathy in order to become more centered, loving and compassionate.
Being prone to rationalism, I interpreted this ritual as a psychological priming for myself; the externalization of my intention would force me to subconsciously direct my cognitive and emotional work towards that specific end goal.
After every participant had done this, it was time to intake medicine. The female leader asked me whether I wanted one or one and a half cup, to which I answered “three”. She stared upon me, smiling with a hint of disbelief and told the shaman about my dosage, who first shook (?) his head and laughed, then gazed me in my eyes and nodded with respect. At that point, I understood it would be an intense experience. I drank the medicine, which tasted like sour and bitter dirt, and bowed myself back to my spot.
Lights out. It was now pitch black and I sat myself cross-legged, meditating. Fifteen minutes in, my body began hyperventilating and my heart started racing. I recognized this reaction from previous experiences with freebase DMT; it is an interesting phenomenon where my body seems to be trying to oxygenate itself. Maybe, in order to adapt to the forthcoming higher state of consciousness. As always for me with come ups on psychedelics, my thought process sped up and my mind started producing intellectual, fear-based, thoughts about me having a to high dose and not being ready for this. Through eight years of exploring these compounds, and learning by mistakes, I have taught myself to no longer fall for those characteristic ego-driven defense mechanisms. Psychedelics dissolve the ego, and thus it naturally starts to defend itself. But through breath work and manual smiling, it eventually disappeared.
Here comes nausea. I had learned, at this point, to purge as soon as possible in order not to be nauseous when the peaks hits. At the forty minute mark, I leaned over and purged it all out. Black, sour slime and liquid poured out of my mouth. “Here comes the visions”, I whispered silently to myself. As I leaned back again I felt an increasing pressure on my entire body, as if though the entire maloka was been lowered under water. My perception suddenly altered, all objects in the dark room got an electrical aura around them, every edge jumped out in clarity. I lost my sense of direction and ability to determine distances; I felt suspended in femininity, magic, and darkness.
I had always had personality traits typical of those of masculinity, being mission-driven and proud of my independence and solitary lifestyle – sometimes hard to understand the female aspect of life. It was a trait that had caused me, and especially my girlfriend, suffering throughout our relationship.
As my breath, heartbeat and thought processes slowed down, a feeling of female empathy and forgiveness flowed through my entire body. As if I had received a hug from a loving mother. A subtle euphoria emanated from my chest and spread throughout the rest of my body. Then, a vision emerged in my consciousness. The vision came through multiple senses; it was auditive, visual, emotional and cognitive. Resembling, perhaps, to the phenomenon of synesthesia were one cross-interprets perceptive inputs. A naked African tribal woman emerged, with dreadlocks made of mud, sitting in a grass field playing with a baby in her hands. It was humanness in its primal state, connected to nature, earth and the Gaia. The emotion of empathy increased in my chest, filling me with love. The African woman disappeared, and I was suddenly presented to the personality of one of the leaders, a 33-year-old mom of two boys, speaking English with Spanish accent, a yoga teacher and singer. I saw her strong purpose in life – raising her children, working with spirituality and spreading consciousness – shining through her being as she was always smiling, expressing freedom and represented the archetype of the female free spirit. The beauty of her being was unbearable, and I started crying.
As the shaman began singing on a new song I was introduced to the archetype of the wise woman through the Mexican woman who was the manager of the center. Being, perhaps, fifty years old, she carried marks of wisdom and knowledge through time. I saw in her matured motherhood and experiences of having gone through hundreds of tough situations in life. She had been working with Ayahuasca for nineteen years and appeared to me as the equivalent of the wise lady in the tree in the Disney movie Pocahontas. Her image pumped me with emotions of loving respect and unconditional loyalty. I suddenly felt the urge to kneel, and did so, and laid my hands with my palms upwards.
I felt the collective images of these three women moving to the left of me, and my head magnetized in that direction. On the mattress to the left of me was my girlfriend. Slowly, the vision started to subjugate and dissolve onto her crown and chest. Maya lit up with that electricity I saw on the come up as she sat still beside me. As I watched the happening with disbelief, tears rolled down my cheeks. I saw the love that I had given her, and the suffering. I embodied her being and saw our relationship, her needs in life and her existence from her viewpoint. I saw within her the potential to embody my visions in life An emotion of gratitude expanded within me.
My mind started to come down to its normal state, and within an hour the icaros silenced. I sat up cross-legged with a smile, contemplating my experience with awe. “Thank you Ayahuasca, whatever you are. Thank you.”
