The GTXE is typical XRAY – premium, professional, high-competition RC car for the most demanding racers, developed with attention to detail and backed by premium service & support…a luxury masterpiece.
With XRAY's uncompromising design philosophy bringing everything together to make the best GT electric car, the GTXE has the unique XRAY character, born of precision craftsmanship, highest attention to detail, and using only the finest quality materials.
The rear section of the chassis was reinforced for less flex on-power, which increases the stability of the car and ensures more on-power control.
The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity.
All-new front C-hub concept was redesigned and refined especially for GT platform. The GT C-hub suspension improves steering characteristics on and off-power and helps to reduce tire wear. The caster is now easily adjustable by changing bushings in the suspension arm.
The C-hub suspension features C-hubs with preset 16° caster as a great starting point for every track.
To accommodate the new GT C-hub suspension, the front shock tower was redesigned.
Machined from extra-thick premium-grade graphite, both shock towers are light weight and very strong. Front and rear shock towers include multiple shock positions as well as multiple roll center positions.
Longer front & rear shock shafts are now +3mm longer for increased set-up possibilities and to allow more suspension travel.
The shock caps feature 4 bleed holes for easier building and more precise rebound control. Multiple shock membrane choices are available to tune the suspension to a wide variety of track conditions.
Oversized big-bore shocks featuring 16.2mm I.D. shock bodies are externally threaded with an adjustable collar for quick & easy spring preload adjustment. The shock bodies are hardcoated in a titanium color and feature a 1-piece alu shock cap.
To improve drive train efficiency, the 13T pinion gears are now included for both front and rear bulkheads. Thanks to the higher 3.54:1 internal ratio, vehicle acceleration has also been improved.
To accommodate the new suspension geometry, the kit now includes +2mm off-set both front and rear.
Ultra-lightweight 17mm wheel hex drive hubs are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 black-coated aluminum.
The alu hex hubs are specially machined to reduce rotating weight while guaranteeing wobble-free wheel mounting.
The drivetrain ball-bearings are now greased instead of oiled to maximize the lifespan of the ball-bearings, especially in dusty conditions. For increased reliability, the front and rear transmission ball-bearings as well the center solid shaft ball-bearings feature metal shields.
I designed and hand-made my first off-road cars back in 1986, and they were dominating the races thanks to unbeatable reliability and superior performance. Years later in 2004 we debuted our first mass production XRAY XB8 platform based on our long-term experiences, knowledge, and R&D expertise gained over decades, taking over the heritage I brought with me.
Using the XB8E and GTX8 platforms, we worked with the XRAY R&D team to create the finest, highest-performing GT electric car. I am happy that we carried forward the legacy of my first off-road car into this new platform… one that can take you to the Winners Circle.
Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy
XRAY Chief Designer
Designed in virtual reality using the world's most sophisticated CAD tools and manufactured using the world's best machining and molding technology, the GTXE is second to none amongst GT electric cars. All parts are purpose-designed and manufactured by XRAY, so everything fits and works perfectly together.
Before I started racing off-road cars, I was actively professionally racing 1/5 scale on-road cars and I won 2x a European Championship. In my position as R&D Designer at XRAY, I was very happy to be involved again with an on-road project where I could bring my prior experience to the table.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my involvement in this new GT project, and I strongly believe this class will rapidly gain popularity due to its simplicity, easy handling, and great fun. I will continue to support the ongoing development of this new platform, and will be available to support all XRAY customers.
XRAY GTXE Designer
The GTXE project follows a typical development progress at XRAY: 3D models were first printed & tested, and after successful test results the production moulds were machined. To ensure perfect fitment of all parts, all pieces are individually tested during the development phase and then are tested on track to ensure maximum reliability and performance.
Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in-house at the XRAY factory in Slovakia, Europe, using the most high-tech German & Swiss machines and premium European materials, crafted with XRAY's legendary attention to detail by our artistic production specialists. The GTXE is truly a masterpiece.
Some information shown below may include details from previous kits, and it may vary slightly from current kit specifications.
Front and rear chassis braces have significant influence on chassis stiffness and flex, and as such have a great impact on handling under different grip conditions.
The longer rear brace is moulded from a medium-stiff composite mixture for proper flex & rigidity, and allows the mounting of optional graphite inserts to reinforce the brace to make it even stiffer (suitable for high-traction conditions).
The battery plate design allows to move battery more frontwards or rearwards, giving significant influence on weight balance adjustment.
The rear of the plate has a dedicated area for speed controller placement. Velcro® strips are included for quick & easy battery mounting.
Diff bulkheads are an important chassis component, housing both the front and rear differentials and providing mounting points for the suspension mounts and shock towers.
The diff bulkheads have been designed for extreme durability, while providing easy access for tuning and maintenance.
The aluminum suspension holders feature Integrated Suspension Settings™ (I.S.S.) which allow for quick & easy suspension geometry setting.
Using eccentric suspension bushings inserted into aluminum suspension holders – as well as additional suspension shims – the GTX8 suspension geometry can be completely adjusted in mere seconds.
The narrow rear suspension holders work together with the longer rear arms to improve overall grip, forward traction and allow earlier acceleration at corner exit.
The rear uprights feature larger outer 8x16x5mm ball-bearings for increased reliability and life-span. To expand the set-up alternatives, an additional lower roll-center adjustment position was added.
The smart design allows the same upright to be used on both left & right sides. The wheelbase position is adjustable using 2 shims along the lower suspension pin.
The rear uprights feature integrated geometry adjustments including: camber, upper and lower roll center and wheelbase.
The longer camber link accommodates the revised roll center positions on the new uprights.
XRAY Pivot Ball Suspension XPBS™ is a uniquely innovative concept, and smart R&D design. The ultra-robust pivot ball suspension has integrated suspension geometry adjustment, with different kingpin plates being optionally available.
The complete integrated suspension geometry adjustment includes:
• Track Width
• Bump Steer
• Upper Roll Center
• Lower Roll Center
• Kingpin angle
To guarantee maximum reliability, all turnbuckles are manufactured from a special blend of HUDY Spring Steel™ which is specifically formulated for turnbuckles. The turnbuckles have a tougher core and are well suited for steering system and rear upright linkages.
Differential main gears are manufactured from HUDY Gear Steel on a precision manual gear machine. The material was specially formulated and developed for use in gears. All gears are hardened to provide the longest possible lifespan.
The high-volume differentials improve vehicle control and consistency over long runs and enhance reliability. The differentials feature larger capacity cases and larger internal gears with more teeth for improved differential moment. The larger oil volume and the shape of the gear teeth reduce overheating. The diff pins have stronger design to improve reliability.
Super-lightweight diff outdrives are machined from HUDY Spring Steel™ with unnecessary material removed from the outer part of the outdrives to reduce rotating weight without affecting durability. The inner portions of the outdrives are additionally hand-ground for maximum precision and fitment into the diff case.
The outdrives are hardened using HUDY’s own special hardening process to provide extended lifespan and reliability.
GTX8 constant velocity drives (CVDs) are manufactured from world-renowned HUDY Spring Steel™. The drive shafts are some of the world‘s thinnest yet most durable drive shafts used in off-road RC cars.
The larger & stronger central outdrives feature protective rubber boots, thick 3mm pins, and protective locking rings.
All drive shafts and outdrives are hardened with a proprietary hardening process to provide unbeatable lifespan and reliability.
The center solid axle is a precision-manufactured, super-smooth layshaft made from tough HUDY shaft steel, which is additionally heat treated for superior strength and long life.
The gear adapter is CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 for super-precise and wobble-free installation of spur gear.
The motor is connected to a mounting plate, with the assembly then inserted into an integrated motor holder/drivetrain support. The design of this system allows quick & easy motor rotation to adjust gear mesh, and then clamping into position to prevent further movement.
The motor mount is machined from Swiss 7075 T6 and is 2mm wider for improved durability.
GTXE springs have been specifically designed to complement the big-bore shocks.
XRAY shock springs are manually measured, selected, and matched into pairs to guarantee precisely equal length and damping characteristics.
Ultra-precise shock pistons feature 6-, 8- and 10-hole options. The big-bore pistons are molded from tough, well-proven Delrin® material for smooth action and durability. The precision molding production process ensures perfect piston roundness after production, so that the pistons move super-smoothly inside the shock bodies for identical, perfect action in all shocks.
The receiver box is mounted on the same graphite plate as the servo. The graphite plate is connected to the chassis by an aluminum holder and stand that can be easily removed from chassis for cleaning and maintenance. You need only to remove 3 screws from the bottom of the chassis to remove the servo and receiver box.
The larger front and rear anti-roll bars help control chassis roll, increase corner speed and improve the stability of the car.
The front & rear roll bars are easily mounted to the bulkheads and can be adjusted using the connected linkages.
Manufactured from spring steel material, anti-roll bars of different thickness are optionally available for fine-tuning.
The compact front bumper is made from high-resilience foam. The front upper bumper holder and lower composite bumper are molded from rigid composite to withstand hard crashes.
XRAY’s self-designed GTX body – made from high-quality Lexan™ material – features high-downforce areas: front windscreen for proper airflow, side downforce areas for higher stability. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body was designed by XRAY to perfectly fit the GTX and GTXE. The rear part of the body includes 3 wing struts for added durability; a high-strength wing is included.
The GTXE body is available as an option only.
The layout of the electronics placement was designed with the attention to the optimum weight distribution and weight balance. During the design and prototyping phase several different layouts were tested and an extensive amount of data was collected, compared and evaluated by the factory team before the final design was chosen.
Weight balance on the GTXE is easy to adjust for different track conditions. Weight can be moved to the front, middle, or rear by moving the suspension arms as required to achieve the best handling.
The GTXE features fully-adjustable front & rear suspension geometry. For quick & easy adjustment, we recommend using set-up tools and accessories from HUDY, the world leader of RC tools.
The extensive and impressive range of adjustment possibilities includes:
• Ride height
• Lower roll center
• Upper roll center
• Bump steer
• Fully-adjustable shocks
• Adjustable front and rear differentials
• XRAY Multi-Flex™

Breaking Down and Breaking Up?
The other day, Liz Peek, writing at Fox News online, said this about the 46th president:
Joe Biden woke up on third base and thinks he hit a triple.
Someone has told the president that he was elected by the American people to fundamentally change our country. He thinks he has a mandate, and that all that stands between him and success is a few ornery Republicans in the Senate who refuse to get out of the way.
Correction. Biden believes that the only thing standing between him and greatness are cranky senators who do not see the United States as systemically racist, who don’t believe in vastly expanding the welfare state, who think that individual creativity and achievement have built our great country and who are absolutely positive that Democrats are leading us down a very dangerous path.
A very dangerous path. Because what the Biden White House and congressional Democrats are serving is a smorgasbord of destructive measures, from executive orders to federal policy changes to legislative initiatives. Destructive to our economy and society -- to our liberties, in fact -- which makes their assault, well, total.
Could it all lead to a national breakdown and, finally, a national breakup? Or might it lead to something better?
Democrats are trying to remake the nation in a compacted timeframe -- weeks and months, not years. Deliberation and debate -- careful consideration, in other words -- are wholly inconvenient. Besides, what if congressional Republicans succeed in stopping key portions of the Democrats’ radical agenda? Might doing so be an expression of the will of the people or a substantial portion thereof? Can’t have that. The revolution -- is this not a form of revolution? -- must happen immediately.
The Biden cabal’s executive orders are government by fiat. That’s un-American. Democrats’ motto should be “Fait accompli.” The Senate filibuster remains in their crosshairs. The filibuster is the primary weapon Republicans have to hinder Democrats desire to ram their extreme agenda down our throats. It’s an iffy proposition to rely on the squirrelly Joe Manchin or Arizona’s Krysten Sinema to preserve, protect, and defend this indispensable Senate procedure. Nonetheless, West Virginians and Arizonans need to lean heavily on these two Democrats.
For the sake of discussion, let’s say that the White House and congressional Democrats run the board and impose their schemes on the nation -- or, at least, major elements. The southern border is wide open now, so let’s say it stays open, flooding the nation with many hundreds of thousands -- finally, millions? -- of illegals. For Democrats, that makes for waves of new constituents and, if they have their sinister way, new voters. It means greater financial burdens, initially for our spectacularly indebted Uncle Sam -- and for state and local governments, many of which are hard pressed now. Taxpayers burdened? Of course. But name a tax Democrats oppose?
That’s the financial impact of throngs of Latino (and other) diaspora. All these illegals place strains on school and healthcare systems, among other services. Crime goes up where illegals go. Communities suffer. The social fabric is torn yet more.
Let’s say, too, that the Biden cabal’s binge spending, amounting to trillions of dollars in spoils for Democrats, their constituencies, and favored special interests, continues with abandon or near enough. The national debt is nearing $30 trillion. The laughably named “COVID Relief” measure was relief, all right -- relief for incompetent, profligate blue state and big city governments. The Biden cabal’s $3 trillion infrastructure improvement proposal -- now being fine-tuned to “combat” climate change and guarantee that all the usual suspects get their share of the spoils -- is more budget busting.
Interest rates, currently at historic lows, won’t stay low forever. Why do we know this? Because there are no constants in the universe or on Planet Earth. When interest rates rise, public and private debt becomes significantly more expensive. What then?
Pour onerous tax increases and heap mountains of red tape on businesses large -- and most distressingly -- small.
To compound bad, wash down the poison pill of the Green New Deal. Even brash Democrats aren’t trying to pass it as a comprehensive measure. They’re doing so piecemeal -- see the infrastructure proposal above -- infiltrating it through dozens of different channels. Accomplished insidiously, the Green New Deal alone is capable of wrecking the economy. Sane analysts (the times require us to filter for delusion and zealotry) have warned us it’s bad.
It doesn’t take much imagination to understand that a combination of these factors can ruin the country -- and with a rapidity that might astonish the clearest-eyed observers.
Should that dreary fate befall us, what might be the outcome? For that, let’s turn to Craig Shirley. Shirley is a successful chronicler, most notably a Reagan biographer. Shirley sees national dissolution ahead.
This from a CNS News article Shirley penned on March 30:
It saddens me to have come to this conclusion [the nation splitting up], but I don’t see any sort of viable path forward at the rate we’re going. Congress is hopelessly deadlocked with both sides convinced they are doing the Lord’s work and that anything less than total, utter legislative victory is a sorry defeat. Likewise, the grassroots on both sides of our country’s ideological divide seem incapable of seeing eye-to-eye.
Our new president isn’t helping matters. After four tumultuous years of Donald Trump, Joe Biden promised to be a breath of fresh air, telling us that he would promote “unity” or at the very least dial down the proverbial heat. We’re nearly two months into his administration, and so far he’s shown little inclination to do either, preferring instead to pander to the progressive base and sign whatever Congressional Democrats shove across his desk.
Mind you, this lay-of-the-land and Shirley’s glum prognosis are presented for sober reflection. Both should be regarded as cautionary. As we learned from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the future shadow needn’t be realized. With another Christian holiday fast approaching, Easter, there’s cause for some optimism.
Democrats are, in fact, pursuing a ruinous course. But we simply can’t account for X factors, those intangibles that can dramatically change fortunes. Providence’s hand is a principal intangible.
Democrats and the left are surfeit with conceit. There’s almost a stench to it. Perhaps mixed in is a whiff of desperation? Doesn’t their feverish race to impose their agenda and rule seem so?
To mix metaphors, Democrats are overplaying their hand, bigly. There’s practically an iron law of conceit: it leads to hubris. And hubris is where Democrats are headlong charging. The goal is to let them go there without dragging us along. Their ruin is our boon.
How do we accomplish this not-so-easy feat? Offered, again, from my last American Thinker article: We must find and champion ways of frustrating Democrats’ efforts. Vigorously back Senate Republicans in their fight to retain the filibuster. Encourage red state governors and legislators to roadblock imperious federal mandates. Gridlock is our ally. Win back the U.S. House in 2022. Buying time worked for Washington during the Revolution, for Grant at Shiloh, and for McAuliffe at Bastogne. The rest is history.
America -- the ideal of America -- deserves far better than wreck and ruin. The Good Lord and history are providing patriots this opportunity to defeat tyranny and renew liberty. Nothing good comes easily. The good achieved in this historic fight will be remembered and honored for generations to come.

SGX RegCo urges caution when dealing in Sevak Limited shares
Singapore Exchange Regulation (“SGX RegCo”) urges investors and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of Sevak Limited (“Sevak”) in the announcement published via SGX on 31-Jan-2019.
The share price of Sevak had climbed steadily from $2.51 on 17 September 2018 to $4.05 on 19 October 2018, a rise of $1.54 or 61%, despite a general decline in the broad market. In particular, between 4 October 2018 and 16 October 2018, when the STI declined 233.09 points or 7.13%, Sevak’s share price rose from $3.30 to $3.80, an increase of $0.50 or 15%.
SGX RegCo had noted that during the price rise of 61% between 17 September and 19 October 2018, Sevak’s share buy-back account had contributed more than 70% of the market traded volume for the stock.
On 11 October 2018, SGX RegCo issued a trading query to Sevak on unusual price movements in its shares that day. SGX RegCo observed that despite the STI falling as much as 96.28 points or 3.07%, Sevak’s share price had risen by $0.08 or 2.24%. Sevak responded that apart from its previous announcements regarding its share buy-backs from the market, it was not aware of any reasons that could explain the unusual price movements.
From 22 October 2018 to 25 January 2019, after Sevak ceased its share buy-back activities, a group of clients was observed to account for more than 70% of the buy volume of Sevak shares. These clients appear to be connected to one another. In particular, between 14 December 2018 and 25 January 2019, the closing price of Sevak shares remained steady around $3.80 when the general market experienced volatility.
It is further observed that since 17 September 2018, Sevak’s market capitalization has increased by approximately $14.8 million to reach $44.4 million on 25 January 2019.
On 24 January 2019, Sevak announced that it had submitted an application to SGX-ST to exit the Watch List.
SGX RegCo is reviewing the trades in Sevak shares and will take the necessary actions.

A pivotal chapter in Titusville’s history is being written with the commencement of the Titusville Mall redevelopment.
Scheduled to begin on November 27, 2023, the partial demolition of the longstanding mall is not just an end, but a transition to a modern, multifaceted urban village.
Since its inception in 1966, the Sears Town Mall, and currently the Titusville Mall, has been more than a shopping center; it has been a community landmark.
With the opening of the first Regal Cinema in the U.S. alongside it, the mall quickly became a social and retail nucleus in North Brevard County. For decades, it has been a witness to the region’s ups and downs, reflecting the broader economic and cultural shifts.
The new redevelopment plan entails the removal of 155,000 square feet of the existing structure to make way for a range of modern facilities.
This includes a 153-room Cambria hotel, a 100-unit assisted living facility with specialized memory care services, three restaurants, and a 240-unit apartment complex.
The project reflects a growing trend towards urban village concepts, focusing on mixed-use developments that blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
Significantly, Beall’s Outlet, a mall staple since 2005, vacated in November 2023, giving way to the “Titusville Indoor Flea Market.” This new addition, spreading over 40,000 square feet, will host approximately 200 vendors, offering a dynamic shopping experience under a single roof.
This redevelopment follows the pattern set by the demolition of Miracle City Mall in 2015, which was replaced by Titus Landing. It represents a broader movement in Titusville towards revitalizing and modernizing key areas, aligning them with contemporary urban development trends.
Talk of Titusville will always be free to access.
If you love what we’re doing, please consider becoming a monthly Supporter HERE.
The Sears Town Mall’s transformation is a testament to the evolving nature of retail and communal spaces, blending modern demands with the rich heritage of a site that has been central to Titusville’s growth and development.

What does 'QUIET RIOT' mean?
What does the expression 'quiet riot' mean?
- Erik Van ThienenLv 71 decade agoFavorite Answer
A silent, hidden or inconspicuous disturbance/tumult/festivity, depending on the context.
- 4 years ago
"Those 'quiet riots' that take place every day are born from the same place as the fires and the destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and the deaths," Obama said. "They happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. Despair takes hold and young people all across this country look at the way the world is and believe that things are never going to get any better." Simply put; his remarks are warranted in regards to the plight of those families in the Gulf Region, still left hanging by the "Red Tape" of government bureaucracy. He in essence is not provoking or suggesting a riot of the traditional sense; where building and looting takes place. However that of organization, where the community as a whole come together to make a difference, in a positive light. These steps are measures to prevent or curtail such violent riots from the past.

Deer decoy damaged in crash that caused death of pedestrian
FINNEYTOWN, OH - A deer decoy sustained irreparable damage this week when it was hit by a car during an accident that resulted in the death of an elderly couple near Cincinnati. Two youths confessed to placing the deer decoy in the road as a practical joke and stated they regret causing such damage to the decoy.
Prior to the accident the deer decoy was reportedly in excellent condition. Emergency rescue workers dispatched to the accident scene described with emotion a disturbing image of deer decoy pieces scattered across the highway. Several good samaritans assisted in the task of gathering all the plastic deer parts. Finneytown officials say several parts are still missing and encourage citizens who find any of the remaining parts to bring them to the Finneytown Police Department where each part will be catalogued with the rest of the deer decoy remains.
Police say the owner has not yet identified and claimed the damaged decoy. "Hopefully, as word of this tragedy gets out to the public, someone will realize their decor is missing and come in to make an ID." said Finneytown Sherriff Paul Westmoreland.

Brabus has already worked its magic on the latest-generation Mercedes S-Class, but this is the first time the German tuner has managed to get its hands on the stretched Maybach version. It’s called the “600 Masterpiece” (Yes really) and is based on the S580 4Matic with the V8. Curiously, the cheap-looking engine cover displays the company’s logo flanked by two large V12 logos reserved for the flagship S680 model.
Sinister in appearance, the amplified luxury sedan gained a subtle body kit with carbon fiber components with a gloss or matte finish to go with the dark chrome elements. Brabus claims that these spares are more than just for show as they serve a functional role. For example, the front spoiler lip has been perfected in the wind tunnel to reduce lift on the front axle and better route airflow to the front brakes and radiators.
At the rear, a carbon diffuser features two large cutouts for the generously sized rectangular tailpipes belonging to a custom sports exhaust. The murdered Maybach S-Class rolls on the famous Monoblock wheels of the tuner, measuring a stately 22 inches while presenting a dark chrome look. These new shoes are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero 265/35 ZR22 front and 305/30 ZR22 rear tires. Bottrop engineers have also moved the extra-long sedan closer to the road by 20 millimeters (0.8 inches) after tinkering with the air suspension.
As its name suggests, the 600 Masterpiece has had its twin-turbocharged V8 engine massaged to deliver 600 hp, which equates to 591 hp (441 kW). With an immense peak torque of 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), the upgraded Maybach S-Class now hits 62 mph (100 km/h) from rest in just four and a half seconds. Full throttle, the premium limo hits an electronically capped speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
The real highlight is noticeable as soon as you open the doors as Brabus has draped the car’s interior in its finest leather, with a striking turquoise finish. It carries over to the floor mats and headliner while the generous carbon fiber treatment continues inside, even to the pedals with their rubber dots to prevent slipping.
If that interior is too much for your taste, the sky is the limit when it comes to customizing the Maybach S-Class since Brabus builds these cars to the exact specifications provided by the owner.

The district town Zlín is situated at an elevation of 250 m on the river Dřevnice in eastern South Moravia.
The history of the town goes back to the Middle Ages. The first written mention of Zlín is found in a document of 1332.
Privileges were granted to Zlín in 1397 and in 1509. An important event for the economic history of the town was the foundation in 1894 of the
The famous English playwright Tom Stoppard (birth name: Straussler) was born in Zlín in 1939.
The church of St. Philip and St. James [left, no.῁510: background]
is the Roman-Catholic parish church of Zlín. The original church of the 14th century (c. 1390–1420)
was rebuilt several times. A major reconstruction took place at the beginning of the 19th century, when the orientation
of the church was changed from east to south, due to its insufficient capacity and the impossibility of expanding the
original church to the east. The church tower remained in its original place. The church was hit by devastating fires in
1819 and 1849. Its current appearance dates from the period after the second fire in the second half of the 19th century.
The Zlín department store [near left, no. 3914]
was built in 1932 as one one of the first buildings in the newly formed náměstí Práce
(Prague square). The overall architectural concept of the building was devalued by alterations from the 1970s.

The Broken Hinged Door
By Zoe Pierson
It’s seen the good, the battered,
the blessings, and scorn.
The late nights of sneaking out,
the arrivals of long gone people,
the past, the present,
Hinges oiled years ago still squeak,
telling on me quicker than my sister.
The screen that’s withering
the glass stays shivering
the bugs, the webs,
In my eyes for 18 years,
but in the house for many more.
The slams of angry arguments,
the locks against intruders,
the mom, the dad,
Moving out and on my way,
I give it a good look; that weathered fleeting piece.
Maybe that day, it had had enough
because when I closed it, gently now
the boom, the crash,

In a bid to upgrade processes, product qualities, and technology standards, India’s precision components industry, which has been booming under favorable Government policies and support, is on its way to carving a unique pathway in the domestic manufacturing sector. Contributing to this domain is the Bangalore-based, Rollon Hydraulics, which has been a leading manufacturer, supplier, and assembler of high precision components and spools since its inception in 1994.
Spanning across its 30,000 square foot facility in the industrial area of Peenya, the company is driving the domestic precision components industry to achieve global standards with overall technological upgradation with on-time delivery, zero-defect-high-quality products, large-scale production expansion, and swift response to customer queries. From agricultural equipment, material handling equipment, earth moving equipment to construction equipment, Rollon Hydraulics’ expertise covers various verticals.
Meticulous processes to meet customer prerequisites
Built on a bedrock of engineering excellence with an unstinted dedication to quality, delivery, and value, the company’s time-tested proficiency ensures accurate, essential machine operations with the most effective machining tools. With the aim of enhancing the customer experience, Rollon Hydraulics initiates its processes with a design review wherein the customer and the in-house engineering team ascertain the know-how of the required component, its usage, and other relevant
details related to measurements and technicalities are collected. The company’s goal of manufacturing defect-free products is ensured with this initial review which also determines the validity of the components when placed together, the veracity of the chosen materials and specifications, and possibilities of further adjustments to reduce the component’s quoted price amounting to customers’ profitability. The concluding process of this routine is Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) where the company commits to on-time delivery to each of its customers with every order.
“Rollon organizes a detailed contract review with all the customers from enquiry to order receipt stage. This is followed up by a comprehensive advanced product quality planning and analysis of the product failure mode effect. Further, tools and processes are designed and standardized by an exclusive team of engineers. Finally,
there are multiple inspections carried out from raw material receipt stage to product delivery to deliver a zero-defect product,” summarized, Rollon Hydraulics’ Managing Director, Sanjeev Shah of the company’s range of offerings.
From agricultural equipment, material handling equipment, earth moving equipment to construction equipment, Rollon Hydraulics’ expertise covers various verticals
Ranked among the top six hydraulic valve spool manufacturers globally, Rollon Hydraulics is in the inimitable position of consistently achieving critical tolerances for components amounting to three microns size, two microns cylindricity, and one micron roundness; a considerable feat as per the precision engineering components industry standards. Adding to the company’s llaurels, Shah divulges, “Rollon Hydraulics’ engineering excellence is built on the principles of people, training, and process. We prudently hire and train talent who share our passion for achieving excellence.
We are very aware of the industry misgivings and document the errors as ‘lessons learnt’ and use them in our training and refresher sessions to ensure the mistakes are not repeated across the organization. Our focus on developing and following processes is not limited to the business aspect only but we also cover the product development and production aspects based on the team members’ pragmatic experiences. And all these principles combined have been contributive to our success and growth as the leading industry player.”
Now with conducive circumstances such as a buoyant economy, large young population, and Govt allowance of 100 percent FDI in the domestic precision components sector, Rollon Hydraulics predicts steady growth of 20 percent YOY for itself in the next five years and has been prepping with necessary capacity enhancements and capital investments.

One minute 61-year-old David Lowell was walking across his living room outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. The next he was on the floor trying to figure out what was happening to him and knowing it was serious. Three weeks later in the acute rehabilitation center in Flagstaff, he endured painstaking hours of therapy six days a week to try and recover movement in his left leg and arm.
| Learn the signs of stroke:
1. Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
2. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
3. Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
4. Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
5. Sudden severe headaches with no known cause
“It’s slow,” Lowell said with speech that has become reasonably easy to follow since the stroke first hit him. “But even getting out of bed is an ordeal. You hate to be so dependent on people.”
As far as what Lowell and other stroke patients can expect in the way of recovery, experts underscore that progress is a highly individual matter and influenced by a number of factors.
Medical director of the acute rehabilitation center at Providence Portland Medical Center in Oregon, Molly Hoeflich, M.D., said, “I’ve been in stroke rehab for 20 years and although I have seen trends, I’m still fooled all the time. One of the best things that can happen is for me to tell a patient that they probably can’t expect much more recovery. Those are the ones who will turn around and make outstanding gains.”
That said, Hoeflich noted that most of the textbooks say stroke patients get most or all of their recovery in the first three months. “My clinical experience has born that out for the most part,” Hoeflich said. “But there is also a small group of patients that seems to not start their recovery for a month or two. The usual uphill slant of recovery we generally see seems to get delayed until all of a sudden they will seem to take off. So, clearly the three-month window wouldn’t apply there.”
OHSU Stroke Center Helmi L. Lutsep, M.D. added that “even though patients that are doing well will probably max out in two to three months, those with more severe strokes will keep on improving through the six-month point. Even two years later they will get new function, although it might be through another mechanism than just the brain healing.”
Time frames aside, Hoeflich underscored that stroke patients who have hope tend to do much better. “My job is to provide realistic expectations for patients,” said Hoeflich, “but we’re very careful to encourage people and leave the door open for the successes that can take place.”
“A whole assessment is needed for us to make a plan for appropriate therapy. What age is the patient and how motivated are they? What was the status of their health prior to the stroke? Is there good family support? What’s the extent of the cognitive deficits? Those types of questions,” Hoeflich said.
Also, Hoeflich explained that “there have been really exciting things happening in the last year around stroke recovery. Between advances in long-term therapy and progress in managing initial early stages of recovery, things are starting to show real promise.”
Promise is what David Lowell and other stroke patients live for. Each year 550,000 Americans – about one person every 53 seconds – suffer a stroke. It is a leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in the nation. The idea that new research is pushing the field of stroke recovery to new heights, then, is encouraging. Thus, even as stroke patients cling to the hope that their bodies will recover, they can also hold onto the news that science is doing its part to help push the envelope as much as possible.

Over 25 digital posters by University of Maine Art Department students in Kerstin Engman’s 2-D design class are on display through finals week in Hauck Auditorium.
The posters depict climate change issues, such as sustainability and the divestiture of fossil fuels, and are the result of a collaboration between Engman and Karen Marysdaughter, organizer with 350 Maine, a grassroots movement dedicated to solving the Earth’s climate crisis.
Engman asked the students to chose a particular climate change topic and direct a clear, visual message to the campus community.
“By working together as a community of concerned students, the hope is that the impact of a collective effort will have greater inﬂuence in general public awareness and policymaking,” Engman says.

WingOver has created a modified version of delMar and UnnamedCharacter's Secret Missions 1.5 package that is designed to run with Kilrathi Saga. DOS versions of the early games have seen a huge resurgence over the last several years with the popularity of GOG and DOSBox, but many pilots prefer the enhancements that came along with the Windows editions released in 1996. Now these players have a chance to try out the extra missions that are included with Super Wing Commander (back ported to the original game engine). First, back up your install.dat in the KS gamedat folder (and make sure your KS install includes The Secret Missions already). Then unzip the contents of this file (60 k zip) into gamedat. It includes a new install.dat that will replace Secret Missions 2. You can flip back and forth between iterations of the file to choose which campaign you want to play. If you'd like to give this a try on your DOS-based WC1 install, grab that version of the patch here.
This is about bringing the Secret Missions 2 campaign from Super Wing Commander and 3DO, known as Secret Missions 1.5, to the PC. For a start, I'll just make the files available here that have been converted 1:1 from the 3DO version. That's possible due to the awesome work of UnnamedCharacter and many others who paved the way. The zip file contains a readme file with all necessary information and instructions.
So, by downloading and installing this zip file to your Wing Commander I, Secret Missions 2 installation, you should be able to play the full SWC Secret Missions 2 campaign, which is commonly referred to here on the forums as Secret Missions 1.5.

This past weekend, my husband went digging for razor clams. In a little over 2 hours, he had his limit of 60 clams. It was a lot of hard work on his part, but I shared in that work by helping clean them all.
That evening, I fixed a dinner of Panko-Breaded Fried Razor Clams. I only fry things about once a year, but these were well worth it. Paired with a salad topped with radishes, tomatoes, and citrus ceaser dressing, they were delicious. Tender and full of that taste fresh from the sea. Don’t they look good?
I didn’t really follow a recipe, but here’s what I did. In one bowl, I mixed flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, I mixed a couple of eggs. In a third bowl, I placed panko crumbs. To make, dip the clams in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Then dip in the egg, then finally in the panko. Then place on a cookie sheet that is covered in parchment or waxed paper. After all of the clams are dipped and placed on the tray, place in the freezer for a little while, at least 15 minutes. This will make the breading stick better.
Heat oil in a skillet. I used olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. Fry until light browned, no more than a minute or so on each side. Overcooking them will cause them to be very tough and chewy. Drain on paper toweling, then serve.

A coalition of community groups protested the grand opening of KODA Condominiums in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID) yesterday. The demonstration, organized by the CID Coalition (aka Humbows Not Hotels) and supported by Parisol (Pacific Rim Solidarity Network) and MPOP (Massage Parlor Outreach Project), was the latest of many actions over the years protesting the development including a protest at the groundbreaking in 2019.
“KODA was the first luxury high-rise approved in the CID after City Council’s controversial Mandatory Housing Affordability legislation, so it has serious implications for the future of the neighborhood,” wrote CID Coalition member Nina Wallace in an email.

Where there once stood a historic Seattle ballpark, land that’s now home to the Rainier Valley Lowe’s hardware store may soon be leveled once again to make way for an Amazon distribution facility.
Despite being re-zoned to accommodate dense, affordable housing and small businesses, concept documents filed with the City this week suggest that the Lowe’s property on Rainier Avenue South could soon host a 68,000 square-foot distribution center and a small ocean of parking spaces. The Pepsi plant north of Lowe’s is also part of the proposed reconstruction and it appears as though a deal with Amazon would involve the use of both properties.

Toxicity of selected insecticides on late stage instar of bagworm, Metisa plana
Metisa plana is a significant oil palm pest in South East Asia and is well recognized for its devastating impact on oil palms in Malaysia. Due to the high intensity of the Metisa plana assault on oil palm plantation in the peninsular, Malaysia. The use of insecticides has become a famous means of controlling Metisa plana infestation when the economic threshold is reached. Three selected insecticides are Cypermethrin, Flubendiamide and Bacillus thuringiensis tested for their toxicity toward Metisa plana. Late stage instar of Metisa plana were collected at Felda Serting Hilir 4, Bahau to be tested on three different pesticide including one control treatment. For each treatment, five replications were exposed to the selected chemical by using leaf dip bioassay method. The mortality of Metisa plana were recorded for eight consecutive days. Result showed that both Cypermethrin and Flubendiamide can achieve 100% mortality rate within four days while it takes eight days for Bacillus thuringiensis and control treatment. Further study should be done in the field to obtain more accurate results when exposed to the natural conditions and environment.

L.A River's Master Plan... a Genius Idea | KCET
L.A River's Master Plan... a Genius Idea
The day of the interview I really didn't know what to expect. I heard we were going to see a powerpoint presentation by Shelly Backlar, so I expected to be crammed into a room with my group and listen to a historical lecture of the L.A River. This is not at all what happened! We actually had the opportunity to go down to the river. I myself had never it up close. I have always viewed it from afar, so I was excited when we were walking down the path to where the water is. The water wasn't so clear, but it was definitely amazing to see the birds in there while it glimmered and shined under the hot sun. Ms. Backlar turned was quite nice and I enjoyed hearing her speak because she had a lot to say about the the rover. She shared the river's history, including a brief over view about the Native Americans that lived there were called Gabrielinos.
The part that captivated my interest the most was when she mentioned a "Master Plan" and, in my opinion, it was a master plan indeed. Shelly said that FOLAR (Friends of the Los Angeles River) had a plan for the L.A. river to be more inviting. To bring the surrounding communities together, they plan to build parks, restaurants, and shops For Los Angeles, the Master Plan would not only bring together communities but to also make the L.A river a tourist attraction. I was completely stoked to hear that FOLAR was focusing on making this happen. The L.A. River would be a great place with those places, and I couldn't agree more.
We then interviewed Shelly and asked her personal and historical questions relating to the River and was surprised to hear how much bird life and fish life the river actually had. Los Angeles has a river and I no longer ignore this fact or take this place for granted. As Ms.Backlar stated, the River is like the backbone to Los Angeles.

The Shannara Chronicles 1×03 Review: Fury
This episode of The Shannara Chronicles picks up exactly where “Chosen” left off, with a Fury heading straight for Wil and Amberle.
They are saved by Allanon, wielding a sword and being a general badass. There is little time to grieve for Amberle’s aunt (and Allanon’s ex-lover?), as they’re on a bit of a time crunch, but we do, however, have the time to stop and cry a little over the death of Loren and the rest of the Chosen. While Amberle and Wil are having a heart-to-heart, Allanon is busy bleeding to death. Wil isn’t skilled enough to sew up the wound, and reasons that only mud from the Silver River will heal him.
I was skeptical when Manu Bennett was cast as Allanon, but that’s most likely because I read these books soon after having read The Hobbit, so in my head I imagined someone more like Gandalf. Even when sketches in the books themselves revealed that Allanon was younger and gruffer than I thought, I still stuck to the picture in my head, which is why I initially balked at Manu Bennett’s casting. Now, though, having seen him in action, his voice and demeanor are pretty much perfect for the character. I feel that he does an admirable job of bringing the Druid to life.
A little nitpick that really isn’t that important but bothered me nonetheless: the Silver River is nowhere near Westland. It’s actually way on the other side of the world. It’s not important because, in the book, this is what happened: Allanon gets attacked and is healed by the magic of the King of the Silver River. It’s just that in the book, it happened near the actual Silver River, and since the show decided to have Wil on his way to Storlock instead of actually at Storlock, they had to switch around the geography a bit. This may affect future seasons, because the Silver River features in pretty much every book in the Shannara series, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Get through this season first, then see how they deal with it.
Against Allanon’s wishes, Amberle and Wil head to the Silver River, where they are ambushed by Eretria and taken prisoner. She brings them to the Rover camp to meet with Cephelo; Cephelo offers Wil the chance to join the Rovers, but what he really wants is for Wil to teach him to unlock the magic of the Elfstones. Amberle tries to escape by taking a blade to Eretria, but in the ensuing scuffle, a second Fury – having tracked the two of them from Wing Hove – attacks the camp. Wil manages to use the Elfstones to destroy it, but the magic takes a toll on him.
The Rover camp managed to be both not at all what expected and exactly what I thought it would be. To be honest, I expected a little more color, but that’s probably because when I pictured the Rovers, I pictured stereotypical images of the Romani people. I pictured wagons and bright colors and basically Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This version, however, is way more realistic with the world and much easier to believe. We didn’t see enough of the camp, or the other Rovers, to get a real sense of their way of life. Hopefully we’ll get to see more of them in upcoming episodes.
Eretria and Amberle’s interactions are compelling; both ladies are different than their book counterparts, and I’m not yet sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. However, I am enjoying the way they play off each other. I especially appreciated that Amberle saved Eretria without a thought, despite everything that has happened between them. But the attack on the Rover camp occurs far too early in the story; Wil’s struggle with the ability to use the Elfstones is an important part of his character, and the fact that he unlocks the magic so early removes one the central inner conflicts of the story. Allanon’s explanation that what happened is because Wil still sees himself one way and the Stones know him to be different makes it seem as though the Stones are sentient; the Stones reacting in Wil’s palm before he had the opportunity to even attempt to use them also makes it seem that way. I’m not sure how I feel about that; too much of the magic in this show relies far too little on the actions of the characters.
On their way back to Arborlon, they stumble across what appears to be a Demon attack. Two bloodied bodies are strung up on a line outside of a house, which seems a little too methodical to be a Demon attack, but what else can we presume at this point in time? The sight makes hoping-to-be-a-healer Wil sick to his stomach, and when he goes off to be sick, he and Amberle discover Bandon, the son of the murdered couple. He alleges that his parents locked him up in the basement – judging by his behavior later in the episode, they may have been frightened of his prophetic visions, but we don’t yet know enough to say for certain.
Bandon is a character created solely for the television show, so it will be interesting to see what he brings to the story and what role he has to play in things to come. So far, he has had a vision of a badly wounded, possibly dead Amberle and persuaded Wil to stay with Amberle and not head off to Storlock. The jury is still out on him; given the circumstances in which they found him, it’s reasonable to assume that there is more to him than meets the eye.
Upon returning to Arborlon, Amberle is taken before the Elven council, where she must plead her case. She abandoned her sacred duties to the Ellcrys, and this is obviously a very serious thing. The council is unwilling to listen to Allanon’s declaration about Demons, but when Amberle corroborates his story – and informs the king of the death of Pyria – they start to pay attention. However, Amberle must present herself to the Ellcrys in order to receive the seed, but only if the Ellcrys deems her worthy. The episode ends with Amberle entering a door in the sanctuary that the Ellcrys has opened.
I’m still a little bothered by the dialogue, and I think this affects the acting. Manu Bennett and John Rhys-Davies, and to a lesser extent Poppy Drayton, are the only ones who seem to realize they’re in a fantasy show. Austin Butler acts like he’s on the latest teen drama. The effect is slightly jarring. I’m still enjoying seeing the story come to life on screen, but this is going to niggle at the back of my brain throughout the season.

The human face of conflict. war, political threat, Intifada, struggle for the good life, women and their loved ones searching for the "good life" under war. Israel, the Israel Palestinian conflict.
I am Orit’s guiding spirit. I’ve visited her nightly in her dreams, thrusting myself between her mothers and her fears. Slowly I’ve persuaded her to forgive. I hear the man in the hat and the prayer shawl say I can rest now, that my job is done. I don’t want to rest. I want to whirl around the bridal canopy my wind transforming its fabric into birds. I want my palm trees to wave in giddy celebration, my tide to run along the beach in lapping tongues and wash the feet of the guests just as Abraham washed the feet of his angels, so that they blessed him with children and children’s children at the beginning of this, our story.
Israela: secrets, lies, and alienation. Heroism. Arabs saving Jews and Jews healing Arabs in Israel. Israela: An eternal struggle for peace. Three women and their loved ones seeking the "good life" under war. The complex social structure of Israel, tradition, history, war, Intifada, and love.

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted an update about The Turtle Who Had Wings, so I figure I may as well give a brief update as to what’s going on.
The main change I’ve made lately is the camera. It was the biggest source of fake difficulty in the entire design, so I changed how it worked to be more in line with vaguely similar games. As a result, not only did I have to change how dodging and just plain regular movement worked, because they all worked relative to the behind-the-shoulder camera.
I consider that to be a good thing in the end, though. That said, it definitely complicated a few things. The game now needs so many buttons it’s ridiculous, going as far as needing every single input available on a standard controller (so a PS4 controller, lacking Start and Select, can’t control the game without some gymnastics).
On the plus side, however, this let me make give the player more control over their dodging direction. It’s now more along the lines of the dash in Croixleur, where you move in the direction of your input and take little to no damage while doing so. Aside from the change in determining directions, though, the dodge remains the same in every way I mentioned in previous posts.
Another positive change was that I was able to then take this new camera and easily make it possible to have levels in 2.5D, which would make a nice change of pace. It certainly makes some levels easier to make, though many of them are not suitable for 2.5D.
But, as with all good things, there are bad things bundled with it. Specifically, the way I had to make targeting work with this new camera with how aiming can’t be done the same way. I ended up going with an auto-targeting system. While this is manageable for a lot of characters, it makes some characters attacks a bit too easy to use. For instance, the main character’s ranged attack, Magnetic Implosion, can never miss this way, since the attack is spawned on the location of the target.
Or, rather, I was worried. Then I remembered how strict I was stamina. Sure, it looks like you can just spam the attack all day, but doing so still leaves you with limited options despite making about two easy hits, three if you’re good.
Which makes me think… what is “depth”? My characters all have a very limited range of attack options, which would imply a very simple game, but the game is anything but simple in execution. Yet I can’t help but look at the Tales series and think that I could be doing more if I was willing to be more complex in my controls (though the series has some major limitations too – I’ll save that for another time).
It’s really something that gets to you when you make a game. But if I were to adjust the design repeatedly every time I thought that, I wouldn’t have even gotten this far.
I just hope that the massive roadblocks behind the scenes go away soon so the game can be completed.
