In this installment of Weekend Conversations, PF Whalen of The Blue State Conservative and Parker Beauregard of The Last Best Hope explore the consequences of a second term for President Trump. What could be accomplished not only politically but culturally as well?
Parker: The 2016 election might have prevented a permanent leftist takeover of the United States, but the 2020 election still has as significant a role to play in American politics. I see it as two-fold; first, there are obvious political ramifications that go along with a Trump victory. He will be able to continue pushing legislation that is desirable to conservative causes such as border control and healthcare reform. More on that as our conversation unfolds.
Equally significant, however, is the cultural message that his victory conveys. My greatest fear of a Biden surprise in November is it essentially signals to both terrorists and citizens alike that violence and suppression, when perpetrated by the “right” cause, have legitimacy. After all of the silence from the left with regard to the looting, rioting, and attacking, how else can this be taken? Without question, those brave enough to stand up to BLM and Antifa goons will face additional aggression, whether corporeal or related to the destruction of businesses and homes. At the same time, the brazen censorship on display at Facebook and Twitter this past week will only intensify. They might perhaps even be encouraged by the Democrats in power. What other news stories will be shadow banned and blocked from dissemination? Will there be a crackdown on conservative news sites like Daily Wire, Breitbart, and others?
This entire episode is beyond comprehension. For years, the press has cried foul when President Trump correctly labeled them as fake news. They said his speech was a danger to democracy. Now, without any hint of irony, Big Tech literally bans their users’ abilities to share breaking news stories, and not one iota of concern is heard. In fact, the left supports the suppression of what it deems misinformation. A Biden victory will promote endless campaigns of silencing dissenting voices. A Trump victory will go after Big Tech in ways not just healthy for conservatives, but for democracy.
PF: I agree that accountability for the Left and their accomplices will be a big part of a Trump 2.0, particularly if Republicans retain control of the Senate. If not, however, I fear that we’ll have gridlock not just on that issue, but across the board. Let’s cross our fingers. Part of that accountability will almost certainly include further investigation into Spygate and the origins of the Russia Investigation, and hopefully we’ll get to the bottom of things once and for all.
You mentioned the signals being sent to terrorists, and I would add the signals to foreign governments. Trump’s handling of China and Iran has worked well, and the progress on those relationships in a second term would be fascinating to watch. I suspect both relationships would remain mostly adversarial, but he might surprise us with steps towards peace.
Domestically, I think Trump will continue with his pro-growth agenda with limited government intervention into the public sector, and that should be terrific for the economy. I would expect the administration to aggressively ensure fair trade agreements are reached, and existing agreements are adhered to. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Dow Jones Industrial average reach 33K during his second term.

Parker: Economically, there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that America will continue to thrive. The stock market is one indicator of that success. Conversely, I expect a market sell off under Biden, and it makes me wonder how anyone with assets doesn’t see this? The only explanation I can offer is TDS. There are also the trade deals that Trump can continue to emphasize. Our partnership with China is a necessity, but no one before Trump had the chutzpah to stand up to the communist regime to work out a fair deal. We could expect continued success along that front.
I also expect our arrangement at the Southern border to improve. Border security is national security. While Trump has quietly built, or rebuilt, hundreds of miles of improved security measures, more is still needed. A wall serves the additional purpose of deterring would-be migrants from crossing a dangerous desert. It is dangerous both in terms of the terrain and climate, but also in terms of the human traffickers that prey on desperate people.
To be clear, a wall is a moral imperative. No nation has existed or currently exists without a strong national identity. It is absurd to even have to say it; a nation without an identity is not a nation. With unfettered and unchecked immigration, the American identity will dissolve not because the racial makeup is different, but because the value system will evolve. The reason so many people want to, and die trying to, come to America is because of what we offer. A political system free of oppression and an economic system available to anyone to strike it rich, as well as the mindset of liberty and individualism, created America. As soon as enough people believe this is what makes us the bad guy, it will all come crashing down. If we are so bad, what is the alternative? How does anyone have improved outcomes when America fails? These questions are never answered.
PF: Excellent points on border security, and I suspect you’re right; it will continue to be one of Trump’s primary policy objectives, and I think we’ll see major improvements.
On a related note, I think we’ll also see a significant push on the rule of law by addressing rogue organizations such as Antifa. If Trump wins, and if Republicans keep control of the Senate, Trump will rightfully view those results as a validation of his approach and a mandate to continue with it. I get the sense that Bill Barr will likely want to step down as AG at some point, so perhaps his successor will be left to handle the initiative. But I think we’ll likely see a full-court press by Trump in confronting domestic terrorists like the Antifa assholes.
Speaking of cabinet openings, like every president who wins a second term, I’m sure Trump will have quite a bit of turnover. If Barr does step down, I hope Trump appoints someone equally tenacious (Trey Gowdy, perhaps?) to fill his big shoes. And as much as I hate to say it, we should expect to see a new face as Secretary of State. Mike Pompeo has done a great job, and I hope he stays, but he’s been there for a while and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him step down and backfilled with someone like Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley. I think the most critical cabinet member, however, is Steve Mnuchin in the Treasury Department. He’s done a fantastic job but has been mostly overlooked. If Trump keeps anyone on board in 2021, I hope it’s him.
Parker: Cabinet positions are often overlooked or under-considered. Trump has some powerhouse names he could offer, which could boost recognition come 2024. It will be exciting to see who he selects as his heirs apparent, as it were. Just to play this idea out, who fills a Biden cabinet? O’Rourke, Warren, Sanders, and Rice? I don’t even want to think about it.
We would also be remiss to not have one final Supreme Court conversation. Stephen Breyer is currently the most senior justice in terms of age, with 82 years of life experience informing his decisions on the bench. Another four years of Trump would bring him into his late 80s, and while there are currently no whispers of a needed retirement, a lot can change in four more years. It is quite possible that Trump could have a 4th appointment that sets up an unimaginable 7-2 conservative slant. Many pundits discussed the judicial implications of voting Republican in 2016 (which have been marvelous) but I have not heard the same fervor for the courts in this reelection battle. This alone should be enough for Never Trumpers, RINOs, and traditional liberals to reconsider their hesitation. Short of packing the court to 15 justices (which would obliterate the United States as we know it), conservatives should have a majority for the next several decades.
We have spent a lot of time discussing the court system, but it bears worth repeating. While talking about a 7-2 conservative slant, what that really means is there are seven justices who generally just interpret the Constitution and other laws as written. Why is this such a hard concept? Should there not be a 9-0 split when it comes to deciding legal matters? The law is the law. The fact that there are any divisions says more about the insertion of political agendas guiding the justices than legal interpretation. I would trust the court in the hands of nine Amy Coney Barretts in a heartbeat; individuals that recognize their limitations as arbiters of existing law and see the role of judge as a referee and the role of a legislator as one of lawmaker is a welcome respite from the activism displayed by the late RGB and others who adjudicate based on feelings and not on facts.
PF: Good points on Breyer and SCOTUS, and I would add Clarence Thomas to the mix as well. He’s currently 72 years old, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him step down under a Republican president. If that happens, it solidifies that 7-2 conservative slant you referenced for that much longer.
I think one of the more interesting aspects of a Trump reelection will be the reaction of the mainstream media and the impact to our culture.
Trump has succeeded in significantly damaging the MSM’s credibility, and another four years might result in its total destruction. Polls on America’s confidence in the press are at an all-time low, and it will just get worse if he’s reelected. One thing I’ve been hoping for is for one of the major networks to shift a bit to the right. If NBC, CBS or ABC were to stop the nonsense and simply become moderate news outlets, I think they would separate themselves and their ratings would skyrocket. I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for it, but it’s interesting to consider the possibility.
As for the culture, what will be the impact? Will we become even more divided, or will fences start to mend somewhat? If Trump wins, and Republicans retain control of the Senate, I think we’ll see at least a portion of the Democratic Party shift to the center and abandon the radical leftwing of their party. That could have a dramatic impact on the culture. Continuing to depict AOC, the Squad, and the rest of the radical left as mainstream would be impossible, and perhaps the culture would come to its senses to some extent. We can only hope.

When we think about improving brain health, we often reach for the Times crossword or Google the latest online solutions to keep us in peak cognitive health.
But there’s something much more powerful at our fingertips that will help brain function, and it doesn’t involve logging onto a daily app or doing Sudoku games – it’s our diet.
More and more studies show that the food we consume not only affects our physical wellbeing but also plays a vital role in shaping our cognitive function both for today and for our future selves.
Here are some of the things that you can do to eat a healthy diet whilst also transforming your brain.
Eating a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods is crucial for your brain to function at its best. So what are the key nutrients to watch out for?
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and trout, as well as in walnuts and flaxseeds. They contribute to the structural integrity of brain cells and promote healthy communication between brain cells, improving memory, concentration, and overall cognitive performance.
- Antioxidants: Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and flavonoids, are found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, dark chocolate and even wine. These powerful compounds protect the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing the risk of cognitive decline and supporting long-term brain health.
- B Vitamins: B vitamins, including folate, B6, and B12, play a crucial role in maintaining brain health and preventing cognitive decline. They support the production of neurotransmitters, enhance memory, and reduce the risk of age-related brain disorders. Good sources of B vitamins include leafy greens, legumes, whole grains, and lean meats.
What is the connection between the brain and gut?
Did you know that your gut and brain are in constant two-way communication? Emerging research suggests that there is a complex network of nerve cells, chemicals, and microbes known as the Gut-Brain axis is what causes our stomach juices to flow when we think about food and why when we’re anxious or feeling emotional, we can often feel that sensation in our stomach. So it’s hardly surprising that keeping the gut healthy is good for the brain.
There are trillions of bacteria residing in the gut, collectively known as the gut microbiota. These produce a wide range of chemical messengers that influence brain health and thrive on a diverse and balanced diet rich in fibre and fermented foods like yoghurt and sauerkraut. Research suggests that including these in your diet can positively impact mood, memory, and cognitive function.
Can the Mediterranean diet improve your wellbeing?
According to Age UK, one diet that appears to support brain health is the Mediterranean diet. Whilst research is still ongoing there is some evidence that having a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats such as olive oil but low in dairy and meat could be associated with better cognitive functioning in old age and lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Mindful eating and brain health
It’s not just about what you eat, but also how you eat.
Eating mindfully can lead to greater wellbeing, and increased pleasure whilst also allowing you to feel fuller. By slowing down and taking pleasure in each bite your brain is said to engage in the eating experience fully. This mindful approach helps with the appreciation of food whilst improving digestion and better enabling the full signals, preventing overeating and promoting healthy weight management.
What’s more, chronic stress can impair cognitive function and hinder your ability to focus and remember information. Eating mindfully can help reduce stress levels, enhance awareness, and improve your brain’s attention and memory retrieval capacity.
Hey Fresto! Brings the flavour of the Med to your door
Your brain deserves the right fuel to function at its best. By making healthy food choices and adopting a mindful approach to eating, you can support your brain health and unlock your cognitive potential. Incorporate nutrient-rich foods, prioritise a diverse gut microbiota, and practise mindful eating to optimise your brain’s performance. Remember, small changes in your diet can make all the difference to your brain health and overall wellbeing.
So whether you’re looking for a Mediterranean-inspired Catalan Style Chicken Stew an olive oil-soaked snack or an Omega-packed fish supper Fish Pie With Smoked Applewood Mash Hey Fresto’s got you and your healthy eating choices covered.

Willow - for fuel
31 hectares of willow is flourishing and the first third has been cropped, the college aims to be virtually self sufficient with heating costs, in addition to the wind turbine supplying a great amount of our electricity, the extra insulation that has been installed, the new heating control system controlling 28 circuits - the college is moving toward sustainable living.
Spring 2010 saw the planting of 15 hectares of willow to provide fuel for the College heating system. This is part of the Renewable Energy programme being implemented at Gurteen. To minimise the risk of losses due to disease, different varieties of willow were planted in adjacent plots. By autumn of 2010 many of the plants had exceeded 2 metres in height. 2012 sees dominant branches gaining 3cms diameter.
A large new 270 sq.metres drying floor was constructed within the farm buildings to prepare for the future dying process, the willow will harvest at approx. 55% moisture and will be reduced to approx. 25% following the process. The drying floor is also useful for drying grain and hay.
To encourage the production of more shoots, the crop has was cut in spring 2011. As harvesting in the first year is not economical, the cut shoots are left to recycle their nutrients into the soil. Spray was applied in March 2011 to control weeds.
The crop will be allowed at least a further two seasons of growth before the first harvest, which was early 2013. If yields are satisfactory, it is envisaged that harvesting will be every 2 years.

Edificio iluminado, calle Arcos de Belén nº2 México. August 2003 (2003 (Lighted Building, Arcos de Belén StreetNnumber 2 Mexico. August 2003), 2005
|The photograph Illuminated Building documents an action Santiago Sierra did in 2003: lighting a building in the old quarter of Mexico City with large spotlights and from the outside. The building was empty and in a ruinous state because of the earthquake that had shaken the city in 1985. Since then it has been used as accommodation for beggars and a store for street vendors. By lighting it he points out an outstanding element of social conflict in Mexico City marked by the coexistence of classes with high purchasing power and huge pockets of poverty and growing social strife.|
Since his arrival in Mexico in 1996, Sierra has incorporated elements of the social and urban reality of the city into his works, but from ideas that come from minimalism and conceptual art and return to his earlier sculptural practice. And so Illuminated Building is formally related to other earlier works in which he used blocks of cement like Cement Wall Measuring 300 X 300 cm and Facing Upwards (1992) which used the minimal tradition. Also with later public interventions like 50 kg of Plaster in the Street (1994). And lastly with conceptual works like Gordon Matta-Clark’s cut buildings or Hans Haacke’s documentation of buildings submitted to speculation in New York. However, the strictly descriptive title is a constant in his work which originates, precisely, from conceptual strategies in art.
In that sum of recovery of conceptual elements plus the introduction of elements of social conflict, Sierra is following a strategy similar to the one used years before by Félix González-Torres, who took formal elements of minimalism (repetition or accumulation of the same object) which were searching for an absence of meaning and endowed them with personal and sexual significance in relation to the AIDS virus. In that sense, Sierra uses conceptual (the descriptive title, documentation, etc.) and minimal (large regular volumes) strategies, but designed to highlight social problems.
As always in Sierra’s works the documentary photograph of the action, Illuminated Building, is large size and black and white. Thus he follows the standards of quality photography in art. Added to the use of conceptual strategies, what he accomplishes is the introduction of social and conflictive elements (especially in the works in which he uses marginal people paid to take part in the action) in the middle of the territory of art, often alien to or distant from realities that are tolerated socially, economically and politically.
Without taking refuge in a distant or anthropological gaze, he introduces social problems using elements that denote the formal and conceptual elitism of art.

Officials: Probe into videos to include Navy higher-ups
Defense officials say investigators will likely question those who served as Capt. Owen Honors' superior officers at the time he was making a series of lewd videos aboard a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
The Navy relieved Honors of command of the USS Enterprise on Tuesday, days after the videos surfaced. Honors was second in command of the warship in 2006 and 2007, when he produced, starred in and showed the satirical videos, which included slurs against gays and suggestive shower scenes.
The Pentagon officials said Wednesday that investigators could potentially question two of the Enterprise's top commanders from 2006-2007, and two commanders of the strike group the carrier sailed with during that period.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

For many of us who grew up in the ’80s, Gremlins may have been one of our first horror films. The lasting popularity of the film spawned a sequel six years later, though Gremlins 2: The New Batch, despite having its own fans, didn’t do too well at the box office, seemingly killing all chances for a third film. But as the cult status of Gremlins has grown over the years, there have been more and more talks about a Gremlins 3, or a possible reboot. Now it seems those talks are starting up again.
While speaking to Slashfilm, the original film’s screenwriter Chris Columbus revealed that he’s actually written a script for a third movie in the Gremlins series, one that is said to be more in line with the original Joe Dante movie from 1984 than with its zanier sequel. Columbus described the new screenplay as “as twisted and dark as anything,” stating he “wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie.”
Among other things Columbus mentions in the interview are his desire to possibly kill everyone’s favorite lead Mogwai, Gizmo, in something of a dark twist to the otherwise relatively lighthearted franchise (I say relatively, because we are talking about murderous little monsters here). He also mentions that Gremlins 3 would also go the practical effects route like the original, instead of CGI, which should come as a relief to many old school fans out there.
The real question, though: is Warner Brothers really that invested in making a third Gremlins film, as opposed to making a reboot that just cashes in on the name? Here’s hoping they go the former option, and give fans of the original something new to look forward to.
Are you excited about a third Gremlins film, or is this franchise better left in the ’80s? Be sure to let us know your thoughts down below in the comments.

Jamie Mitchell Talks Family, Goals and Hydration
Photo credit: Richard Podgurski
Jamie Mitchell is one of the world’s most epic watermen. From winning the world’s most grueling SUP race 10 years running, to mastering some of the most giant waves on the planet, Mitchell is a maniac in the ocean. Brands like Quiksilver and Reef support Mitchell’s adventures, and keep him on track to stay stoked in the water.
Beyond waves and water, Mitchell focuses on his growing family - he and wife Cassie welcomed their 2nd baby, Malia, last year. So, how does Jamie Mitchell stay in top shape physically and mentally, while dealing with the grueling pace of his schedule as a professional athlete and carving out quality time with his family? Liquid I.V. recently caught up with the surf industry icon to find out. Here’s the interview.
What's your favorite thing to do in the whole wide world?
Apart from surfing giant perfect big waves... To spend the day at the beach with my wife and 2 daughters and share the love I have for the ocean.
Tell us about your family. We understand you had a new addition last year.
Yes, we had our 2nd daughter Malia. She was born in September so life is definitely in the fast lane right now with Nevaeh being 2 and a half and a newborn in the mix now too.
How do you arrange your life to fit in all of your athletic pursuits as well as pay enough attention to your family?
It’s a challenge at times, I won’t lie, but it’s all about balance and time management. I travel a lot, so I make sure that when I am home I am really present for my girls. I really love spending time with them, so it’s easy for me to help Cassie with the girls and give her time for herself, and then also time together as a family. Cassie is so understanding and she knows that it’s not only my job and puts food on the table for us, but it’s something I love as well. Communication is key, and just having a healthy balance of work and family life.
What's your next goal for surfing or paddling?
I would love to try and win a WSL World Big Wave Title. I’m 5th in the rankings right now with 2 events left, so if not this year then definitely next year, I’ll try and focus on that.
Have you ever felt dehydrated in the middle of a SUP race, or big surf comp? What happened? How did it feel?
I have been dehydrated many times during surfing and racing. It’s a horrible feeling to start cramping and feeling fatigued. I really wish Liquid I.V. was around when I was racing the Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Race. I think it would of helped me so much in that race, but I am using it religiously now for my big wave sessions, and while I’m travelling… especially on long flights. It has been a life saver for me on many occasions.
What's your advice to anyone who is trying to get in shape for 2018?
Consistency is key. Write down what you want to do, try and find a workout partner to make it more fun and keep yourself more accountable if you don't show up. Start out slow and have fun!

Portsmouth Ford acquires Kia franchise
PORTSMOUTH — The local Kia franchise recently switched hands and now belongs to John Sawyer, owner of the Portsmouth Ford dealership.
Sawyer said the deal to acquire the Kia franchise from The Bournival Group went into effect Monday at noon. He said the deal means he will now be able to offer new and used Kia models at the Portsmouth Ford Used Car Center at 180 Mirona Road.
"It's now Portsmouth Kia," Sawyer said.
The KIA dealership was formerly located at 2355 Lafayette Road and owned by Dick Bournival, who died last December. A spokesperson for The Bournival Group said the Lafayette Road dealership will continue to sell new and used cars, but declined to comment further.
Sawyer said the addition of the Kia name to his dealership means he can meet the needs of a new cross-section of consumers.
"We have a 7-acre facility that needed a little bit more," he said of the used car center. "We're glad to have Kia; it's a great automobile and this is a great opportunity for us and our employees."
The deal, which had been in the works for months, will likely lead to more jobs in the sales and service departments, he said. Sawyer declined to comment on the specifics of the business transaction.
"We welcome anybody's Kia for service," he said. "Come on in, and we'll have a couple of hundred Kia's on the lot in a very short period of time."
Another change in the local automobile sales business appears to have taken place on Gosling Road at the Lannan Mitsubishi dealership. The dealership appears to be vacant. A recording at their phone number states the business was closed as of Aug. 25.

August 2022: Please be advised that the application deadlines and some eligibility requirements have changed.
The American Board of Medical Microbiology (ABMM) exam certifies doctoral-level microbiologists to direct medical and public health microbiology laboratories. ABMM certification is recognized by federal and state governmental agencies as a significant component toward meeting licensure requirements to direct laboratories engaged in the microbiological diagnosis of human disease. The ABMM certification is a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) approved board certifying a laboratory director of high complexity testing. The ABMM is recognized under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 final rule and in all 12 states that require licensure: California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Tennessee and West Virginia.
An ABMM-certified medical microbiology laboratory director is medically, scientifically and administratively responsible for all that happens in the laboratory. The director aids the healthcare team by recommending appropriate testing options, assessing performance parameters for specific tests and applying appropriate guidelines for interpretation and reporting of test results. In doing so, the board-certified medical microbiology laboratory director is able to affect appropriateness, speed, cost-effectiveness and quality of patient care. With technology continuously expanding, and over 70 percent of medical decisions relying on laboratory testing, an ABMM-certified medical microbiologist offers a unique skillset for hospitals, healthcare systems, reference laboratories and industry as a key leader in navigating the ever-changing landscape of infectious disease diagnostics.

Inspection of String Circuit Current Tests for Solar PV Systems
Diagram 1 shows IV diagram of the power generation area. An IV curve is a curve drawn on a graph that measures the current-voltage characteristics of a PV cell and takes current on the vertical axis and voltage on the horizontal axis. Using the obtained IV curve, abnormalities in power generation can be identified. Here are some terms that are used in the IV curve's diagram.
- Open-circuit Voltage (Voc): Voltage when the solar panel is not carrying current.
- Short-circuit current (Isc): Current flowing when the negative and positive electrodes of the solar cell are short-circuited.
- Maximum Power Point (Pmax): The maximum value of the product of current and voltage on the IV curve. The inverter is controlled so that the solar cell always operates at this point.
- Voltage at Maximum Power (Vpm): Voltage at maximum operating point.
- Current at Maximum Power (Ipm): Current at maximum operating point.
String current test according to IEC62446-1 standard
The standard IEC62446-1 describes the measurement of string currents in photovoltaic systems. This test verifies the functionality of strings and that no significant issues exist. For PV string current tests, there are short-circuit and operational current tests.
String short-circuit current test
The short-circuit current of a string, Isc is the current that flows when the positive and negative terminals of the string are shorted together, and is the maximum current value of the string.
When a solar panel is connected to a device such as an inverter or solar charge controller, the Isc value is used to determine the maximum amount of current the panel can take. Due to the risk of flying arcs, direct measurement using the current terminal of a digital multimeter (DMM) is not recommended.
An AC/DC clamp meter can be used to measure the Isc of the PV module. However, solar cells have a high measured current when solar light is present and a high voltage when a large number of cells are connected in series, which can be dangerous. To short-circuit solar cells, it is necessary to use the right tools, such as high-capacity circuit breakers.
With the Diode Bypass Tester FT4310, you can measure Isc without the need for a circuit breaker, together with the bypass diode open test.
The test can be done at the strings of the junction boxes, so there is no need to walk up to the roof. This makes work much more efficient. However, you need to disconnect the string being measured from the interconnect prior to measurement.
String operational current test
Measurement of the operating current of the string is performed at the time of inspection of the string. By measuring the operational current, it is possible to check if the string is in the operating state. For a system with multiple strings composed of the same number and the same type of modules, the current values of the strings are almost the same. If a string has an anomaly, the current value is significantly different from the rest of the strings. By comparing the current values of each string, it is possible to identify an irregularity.
Installing the Wireless Adapter Z3210 on an AC/DC Clamp Meter from Hioki allows Bluetooth® connections. By using a free application called GENNECT Cross, you may evaluate measurement results using the comparison feature. The string operation's current can be easily judged by this function.
The value of Ipm, which is the highest output operating point when the inverter is operating, is also important. This value can also be measured by using a clamp meter.
Instruments used for string current measurement
|String operational current and Ipm
|Compatible with the DC High Voltage Probe
|Bypass diode tester FT4310
|AC/DC Clamp Meter CM4371-50
|AC/DC Clamp Meter CM4375-50
|AC/DC Clamp Meter CM4373-50
- *With the Wireless Adapter Z3210
In addition to measuring current, a clamp meter can also measure voltage. It is capable of measuring both the open-circuit voltage, Voc and the voltage at the inverter's maximum output operating point, Vpm. The DC High Voltage Probe P2000 can be used to measure up to DC 2000 V. With this, high-voltage PV systems may be measured with ease. Also, the above-mentioned instruments can send the measurement results to mobile devices using Bluetooth®. This saves time and effort when making a report.

text: The ability of a recently isolated Scheffersomyces stipitis strain (UFMG-IMH 43.2) to produce ethanol from xylose was evaluated. For the assays, a hemicellulosic hydrolysate produced by dilute acid hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse was used as the fermentation medium. Initially, the necessity of adding nutrients (MgSO4·7H2O, yeast extract and/or urea) to this medium was verified, and the yeast extract supplementation favoured ethanol production by the yeast. Then, in a second stage, assays under different initial xylose and cell concentrations, supplemented or not with yeast extract, were performed. All these three variables showed significant (p < 0.05) influence on ethanol production. The best results (ethanol yield and productivity of 0.19 g/g and 0.13 g/l/h, respectively) were obtained using the hydrolysate containing an initial xylose concentration of 30 g/l, supplemented with 5.0 g/l yeast extract and inoculated with an initial cell concentration of 2.0 g/l. S. stipitis UFMG-IMH 43.2 was demonstrated to be a yeast strain with potential for use in xylose conversion to ethanol. The establishment of the best fermentation conditions was also proved to be of great importance to increasing the product formation by this yeast strain. These findings open up new perspectives for the establishment of a feasible technology for ethanol production from hemicellulosic hydrolysates.

On Wednesdays guest writers are raising their voices. Julie Dibble writes beautifully both about her entry into and struggle with fitting the mold of the online writing world but also about hearing God's voice. Her piece is a reminder of the power of God's word and the way it breaks into our lives. Please welcome Julie's words in this space. - Nicole
I am full of words. As a young girl, I wanted to be an author. Eagerly, I wrote and illustrated my own fiction. I remember one story about a lion that had no mane that I dreamed of publishing. As I got older, I placed words into poems and began to journal. By the hands that created me, I am blessed with the ability to decorate this life with glorious words.
My surprise was small when God called me to speak and write for Him. Rather, I strongly felt He had prepared me for such a task throughout my life. Humbled, I sought to accurately represent Holy Perfection.
Upon initiating myself into the professional writing world last year, the word requirements seemed low and less than what is comfortable for me. Blog posts are written as if the writer is speaking, so long, lofty sentences are not welcome. Twitter has a cut-off for not only words but also characters, inherently limiting the ability to ramble. Quickly, I realized with the absolute flood of information that exists online, brevity increases a writer’s visibility.
Here I am to state my case in the midst of this fast, busy, changeable world. Despite what we choose to keep to ourselves, God is omniscient. He knows all. Without sharing our thoughts, He hears them. Without baring our emotion, He feels it.
God responded to my mental objection…stumbling in the process of proclaiming His presence with words. God noticed my heart was less than pure. Feeling frustrated, I struggled with the need to cut entire details out of a story written for His glory, in order for it to be accepted.
God told me one night during a one-eye-opening-to-see-what-time-it-is awakening: power of prayer, power of prayer, power of prayer. Not audibly, but clear as day in my sleepy mind, God gave me these three words and repeated them three times. If I posted just those three words on Twitter, one or two people may stop scrolling and wonder about my purpose. Continue Reading
It’s a running joke in my office that I am always hurrying everywhere. My co-workers are not surprised to see me barefoot (shoes just slow me down) jogging between my office and the print room. Two small children make it difficult to slow down at home either. Sure, I am still for hours in front of a computer every day.
But real stillness of the heart and mind also? I admit I don’t find much time for that. But, oh, how I crave it!
My sister, mom and I talked for years about carving out the time to go on a retreat at a local monastery we love to visit. We finally went to sign up for it and I will never forget the look of disbelief on my mom’s face when they told her that silence was required in the dining room and living quarters! She looked at me and said, “What have you gotten me into?”
Silence and stillness are not things that come easily to us, especially in our super-charged culture. But God knows how much we need it and commands in Psalm 46.10 to “Be still and know that [He] is God.” The New American Standard version of this verse tells us to “cease striving.”
By nature, I am a doer but my heart is revived when I am still. As the busyness of the holiday season rolls around each year I find myself looking forward to my New Years ritual with increasing intensity. After Christmas it is like an itch under my skin, pulling at my harried heart and telling me that I need to slow down.
I go to that monastery and sit for hours in the abbey reflecting on the year past, dreaming about what is to come. I pray and journal, enjoy the stillness and time for reflection. The place itself is quiet but it is the attitude of my heart that I can find in that place that I crave.
As much as I love those days of stillness, it is not something I am good at infusing into my every day life. I want to learn to bring the abbey into my living room. My heart can’t function with a still day once a year, a retreat when I can make the time.
“The stillness in which we find God is not superficial,” says Elisabeth Elliot, “a mere absence of fidgeting or talking. It is a deliberate and quiet attentiveness – receptive, alert, ready. I think of what Jim Elliot wrote in his journal: ‘ Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation to be the will of God.”
Deliberate. Stillness is something we must train ourselves to do, that our busy hearts must learn.
I am sure you will see me barefoot and running through the halls tomorrow. But I am hoping you might also see me still sometimes - knowing, expecting, ceasing to strive.
Thank you for joining me in this journey towards keeping a quiet heart. As we head into the final week, I want to give away a copy of the book that God used to prompt me to seek hard after the qualities of a quiet heart. Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway and a winner will be chosen at random on November 1 to receive Elisabeth Elliot's Keep a Quiet Heart.
After another packed day Tuesday in Jerusalem in which Jesus confronted religious leaders, taught about the End times , spoke of his death and His return at the second coming, we hear nothing from Scripture about Wednesday. We can only guess what Jesus and His disciples did that day. Did they prepare for the Passover? Did Jesus continue to teach? My thought is that after the exhaustion of the previous days and before the trying days ahead, they retreated to Bethany to rest. To pray. To spend time at the feet of the One who would soon wash their feet.
Today the temple where Jesus spent much of His last week no longer exists. Pieces of it remain and when you visit Jerusalem no matter the time of day or year, you will see Jews and Christians alike crowded around the wall that remains of the temple. Some are silent, some celebrating the coming of age of young men, some weeping and rocking back and forth in prayer. If you look closely in every crack of the stones and littered across the base of the wall, like the delicate wings of birds flapping in the wind, you will see thousands of pieces of paper. They are names and prayers, placed into the wall, in hopes that God will hear and answer. This wall is the closest the Jewish people of today can get to the Holy of Holies to pray as they are no longer allowed to pray on the temple mount where the Presence of God once resided. People from all over the world venture to this place to speak to God. Sometimes songs rise from the side of the Mount and sometimes the sound of actual cries to God can be heard. Though the temple does not remain, God is not silent. In His Word, in the heart of those who seek Him, He speaks...

All year five students in Queensland state schools will now learn a language in a move that is expected to boost education outcomes and give our children a better start in life.
Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said that up until now, it was mandatory for all Year 6 – Year 8 students to learn a language and this change delivered on the Government’s election promise to revitalise frontline services.
“Everything we do in education is directed towards better student results and it’s widely acknowledged that learning a language has a positive impact on a student’s overall literacy, enhancing their learning in other areas,” Mr Langbroek said.
“While this announcement ensures students can receive an extra year of language education from 2015, schools are still strongly encouraged to offer languages from Prep to Year 12.
“State schools decide which languages to offer in consultation with their school community.
“Successful language programs need a strong, shared commitment from both the school and community.”
The change to the Queensland Government’s mandatory languages policy coincides with a new plan released for consultation that sets out an exciting new era for languages education in state schools.
Mr Langbroek said the Global Schools – Creating successful global citizens proposal would see all state primary schools offer languages from Prep by 2025 and all state schools commence implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Languages in 2016.
“Thisproposal, that we will consult the community about, envisages a system in which all state primary schools will offer education in a language or languages other than English right from Prep,” he said.
“The Queensland Government strongly values the contribution that languages education makes both to individuals and to society as a whole.
“This is part of preparing our young people to thrive in a global society.
“Learning another language provides students with communication skills, opens their minds to new ideas and builds social and cultural understanding.”
Mr Langbroek said Queensland state schools should become familiar with the Australian Curriculum: Languages in 2015 ahead of its implementation in 2016.
“The teaching of languages in Queensland schools is already well established and widespread,” he said.
“Ultimately we want to see an increase in the number of students leaving Year 12 with high levels of language proficiency.
“This will require a strong workforce, quality school programs and strong leadership.”
One of the findings from the Queensland Plan was support for students having Asian language skills, with the majority of Queenslanders seeing this as an indicator of a flexible, future-focused curriculum in the state’s schools.
More information on the Global Schools – Creating successful global citizens plan is available athttp://education.qld.gov.au/
Currently more than 950 Queensland state schools are teaching a Language Other Than English (LOTE) to primary students, with around half of those, some 490, teaching Japanese.
In 2013, around 135,500 Prep to Year 12 state school students learned a language.

The Swedish developer of online casino content NetEnt has proudly announced the latest addition to its extensive lineup of video slot games.
Titled Temple of Nudges, this fresh release promises to take players on an exotic adventure set deep in a lush jungle, along with plenty of excitement and numerous chances to grab rewarding prizes.
Get Ready for Action
Temple Nudge has 5 reels and 3 rows and instead of traditional paylines, it offers 243 different ways to win. To make the whole experience even more engaging, the Scandinavian gaming giant has prepared a number of potentially lucrative features, such as symbols stacks, nudges and re-spins. The Nudge feature will especially appeal to players looking to take home big wins, as it will take them deep into the jungle to look for hidden riches.
After every winning combination, the nudge will get highlighted, and after the win is counted, the reels will go one symbol down. If this results in another win, the entire process will once again take place. So, as long as you get a winning combination, the feature will get triggered!
Whenever the re-spin feature is activated, all symbols of the same type as the winning one will stay on the grid, while other will re-spin, which can lead to even more winning combinations being formed.
A Valuable Addition to the Offering
Commenting on this game, Bryan Upton, the Director of Games at Net Ent, said that nudges were a big favourite with players around the world and with the company too, so that was the reason they had created a game that was all about nudges delivering great wins.
He pointed out that the feeling they had created when combining nudges with the re-spins, giving a chance for even longer nudges, was a pretty powerful one, and added Temple of Nudges would become a great and specifically crafted addition to the company's diverse and deep portfolio.
In addition to launching this game, NetEnt has been really busy with other plans recently. After the renowned gaming company secured its online gaming license in New Jersey, it received the license to offer its games in Pennsylvania as well, expanding its presence in the United States.
You can play the Temple of Nudges slot at NetEnt-powered online casinos.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said that the Government of India conveyed strong protest to Pakistan Government and reiterated that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, including the so-called Gilgit and Baltistan, are an integral part of India.
According to a news gathering agency Asian News International (ANI), MEA has stated that they have seen reports regarding elections to the so-called “Gilgit-Baltistan” Assembly to be held on 15 November, 2020 and took strong objection to it.
The Government of India also completely rejected recent actions such as the so-called “Gilgit-Baltistan (Elections and Caretaker Government) Amendment Order 2020” and continued attempts by Pakistan establishment to bring material changes in areas under its illegal and forcible occupation, according to MEA.
The statement said action such as these can neither hide the “illegal occupation of parts of Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh by Pakistan nor the grave human rights violations, exploitation and denial of freedom to the people residing in Pakistan occupied territories for the past seven decades.”
“These are cosmetic exercises intended to camouflage its illegal occupation. We call upon Pakistan to immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation,” the MEA added.
The ministry pointed out that the government of Pakistan has no locus standi on territories illegally and forcibly occupied by it.

School transfer trial comes down to duel over numbers
This article first appeared in the St. Louis Beacon, March 5, 2012 - Based on Monday’s opening arguments, the new court trial over Missouri’s law governing where students who live in an unaccredited school district may attend class is likely to come down to two sets of numbers.
Lawyers for the Clayton School District, where the plaintiffs want to transfer from St. Louis, and for the city public schools, which would have to pay the bill, painted a scenario where thousands of students would leave the city for accredited schools in St. Louis County, bankrupting the city's school system.
But lawyers for Gina Breitenfeld, who filed the suit seeking to have her children attend classes in Clayton, and for the state of Missouri, which is defending the law, said the impact of the court case will be much more limited – only to Savanna and Elle Breitenfeld, at a cost of about $40,000 a year.
The trial, which expected to last through Wednesday, is the latest court action in a case that stems from a Missouri Supreme Court ruling in the summer of 2010. It upheld the state law from 20 years ago that says students who live in an unaccredited public school district may attend classes in an adjacent accredited district, with their home district paying the tuition and the transportation costs.
Lawmakers have tried to come up with a legislative fix for the situation, generally known as the Turner case for original plaintiffs whose children have since graduated. But their efforts have become bogged down with other education issues, and the trial in the circuit court of St. Louis County Judge David Lee Vincent III, after being postponed several times, began on Monday with a statement from lawyer Elkin Kistner that no one could disagree with: “For Gina Breitenfeld and her two children, this has been a long journey.”
In his opening statement, Kistner said that the Supreme Court ruling in the case – and the law that it upheld – are both straightforward and unambiguous. He said efforts by the other side to block the Breitenfeld children from attending Clayton schools were trying to raise defenses that are both wrong and inapplicable.
“This case is about the Breitenfeld children and no one else,” Kistner said.
But Mark J. Bremer, attorney for Clayton schools, said implementing the law would violate the Hancock amendment to the Missouri Constitution because it would impose an unfunded mandate on the receiving schools. He also used what was called the “impossibility” defense, saying that a ruling for the plaintiffs would be “completely unworkable” and result in too many students transferring to county districts, overwhelming their ability to teach them and making it impossible for them to plan properly.
“Students could arrive in surprising numbers in the middle of the semester,” he said. “There would be nothing a school district could do to plan in advance that would make sure there would be teachers, textbooks and places for them to sit.”
Much of the defense’s case centered around numbers, of both dollars and students.
Citing a study commissioned by Clayton that said more than 15,000 city residents would transfer to county schools if the law is implemented, lawyers said more than 3,500 of those would come to Clayton alone, more than the 2,500 who attend class there now. Such an influx would result in the need for $137 million in capital costs, the attorney said.
For the city schools, which would have to pay the tuition and transportation costs for the transferring students, the bill would run to more than $223 million in tuition and up to $60 million in transportation costs, leaving no funds left to educate the 16,500 students who would remain in city schools.
Further, attorneys for the city schools noted, such a financial hit would undercut the progress that the system has made so far in areas such as academic achievement, planning and fiscal stability – areas where improvement is needed if the St. Louis Public Schools are to regain accreditation from the state.
In response, James Layton, with the Missouri attorney general’s office, noted that the Hancock amendment defense is not a valid one, because the amendment is designed to protect taxpayers, not school districts. And, he said, the study about potential transfer students, even if the numbers are accurate, would not necessarily result from a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in this trial.
“Two students,” he said. “This case is about two students, not tens of thousands of students. Two students.”
Layton added: “There is no support for the premise that you can get out of paying for the two students in this case because you can’t pay tuition for tens of thousands of others.”
The only witness heard on Monday was Terry Jones, political science professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who conducted the telephone survey that came up with the estimated number of potential transfer students.
He defended the study’s conclusions and methodology in response to a barrage of questions about research done in similar circumstances, the assumptions that respondents may or may not have made regarding the chances of the city schools regaining accreditation and the possibility of bias creeping into the results.
Overall, parties seemed likely to concur with Layton’s first statement in his opening remarks:
“What an odd trial.”
Testimony is set to resume at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Heitkamp won't support background checks expansion up for Senate vote
WASHINGTON - Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said in a statement this morning that she doesn't "see a path for my support" on a proposal on the Senate floor today to expand background checks for gun sales.
The first-term North Dakota Democrat was seen as a key undecided vote on the compromise brokered by Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, and Sen. Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican.
She told The Forum in an interview Tuesday that she was still reviewing the Manchin-Toomey proposal.
This is the full text of the written statement released by Heitkamp shortly after 11 a.m.:
"I've been adamant from the very beginning of this conversation that the focus should be on mental health issues, full and accurate reporting into the NICS database and ensuring that we are prosecuting criminals in possession of or trying to possess firearms. This conversation should be about what is in people's minds, not about what is in their hands. I commend Senators Manchin and Toomey for working so hard to bring a serious bill to the floor. However, in its current form I do not see a path for my support. I've thought long and hard about this, I've taken the tough meetings, and I've heard overwhelmingly from the people of North Dakota; and at the end of the day my duty is to listen to and represent the people of North Dakota."
The Washington Post reported at 11 a.m. the background checks measure is unlikely to pass - despite 53 senators supporting it - because it won't have the 60 votes needed to overcome the threat of a filibuster.
