Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) System Description
Exhaust Particulate Filter
The exhaust particulate filter (EPF) captures diesel exhaust gas particulates, preventing their release into the atmosphere. This is accomplished by forcing particulate-laden exhaust (1) through a filter substrate of porous cells, which removes the particulates from the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas enters the filter, but because every other cell of the filter is capped at the opposite end, the exhaust particulates cannot exit the cell. Instead, the exhaust gas passes through the porous walls of the cell leaving the particulates trapped on the cell wall. The cleaned exhaust gas exits the filter through the adjacent cell. The EPF is capable of reducing more than 90 percent of particulate matter (PM).

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) (7) has two functions. One function is to reduce emissions of non methane hydro-carbons (NMHC) and carbon monoxide (CO), from the exhaust gases. The other function is to help start a regeneration event by converting the fuel-rich exhaust gases to heat. The engine control module (ECM) monitors the functionally of the DOC by determining if the exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor 1 (1) reaches a predetermined temperature during a regeneration event. The DOC and the exhaust particulate filter (EPF) (6) are downstream of the turbocharger, and are two separate components under the vehicle.
Differential Pressure Sensor (DPS) and Pressure Lines
The differential pressure sensor (DPS) (3) measures the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the exhaust particulate filter (EPF). When pressure difference has increased above a calibrated threshold, a high particulate loading condition is indicated. The ECM will command a regeneration event in order to restore the filter. If the pressure differential continues to increase across the exhaust filter without a regeneration event, the ECM will illuminate an EPF lamp or send a message to the driver information center (DIC) referring the customer to clean the exhaust filter. To clean the exhaust filter the vehicle must be driven under the conditions necessary for a regeneration to take place. If these lamps and messages are ignored, the ECM will eventually illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and revert to Reduced Engine Power which will require the vehicle to be serviced.
The DPS sensor provides a voltage signal to the ECM on a signal circuit relative to the pressure differential changes in the EPF. The ECM converts the signal voltage input to a pressure value.
The DPS pressure lines (2) are connected before and after the EPF. To provide the pressure sensor with accurate back pressure measurements, the DPS pressure lines should have a continuous downward gradient, without any sharp bends or kinks.
Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors
The ECM uses two exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors to measure the temperature of the exhaust gases at the inlet and outlet of the exhaust particulate filter (EPF). The EGT sensors are variable resistors, when the EGT sensors are cold, the sensor resistance is low, and as the temperature increases, the sensor resistance increases. When sensor resistance is high, the ECM detects a high voltage on the signal circuit. When sensor resistance is low, the ECM detects a lower voltage on the signal circuit. Proper EGTs at the inlet and outlet of the EPF are crucial for proper operation and for initiating the regeneration process. A temperature that is too high in the EPF will cause the EPF substrate to melt or crack. The ECM monitors the temperatures at the EPF inlet and outlet to regulate EPF temperatures.
Intake Air (IA) Valve
The intake air (IA) valve is located upstream of the intake air heater, and is normally in the open position. The ECM commands the valve to close in order to precisely control combustion temperature control during exhaust particulate filter (EPF) regeneration. The IA valve will ensure the temperature of the exhaust gas remains in an efficient range under all operating conditions. The IA valve system uses a position sensor located within the valve assembly to monitor the position of the valve. The IA valve uses a motor to move the valve to a closed position and spring tension returns it to the open position. The motor is operated through Motor Control 1 and 2 circuits.
The exhaust system has been designed to reduce exhaust gas temperatures during regeneration. The exhaust cooler (4) at the end of the tailpipe draws in cooler air as exhaust gases flow through its openings. The cooler air mixes with the warmer exhaust gas, reducing exhaust gas temperatures at the tailpipe outlet.
Regeneration is the process of removing the captured particulates through incineration within the exhaust particulate filer (EPF). Elevated temperatures are created in the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) through a calibrated strategy in the engine control system.
Regeneration occurs when the ECM calculates that the particulate level in the filter has reached a calibrated threshold using a number of different factors, including engine run time, distance traveled, fuel used since the last regeneration, and the exhaust differential pressure. In general, the vehicle will need to be operating continuously at speeds above 48 km/h (30 mph) for approximately 20-30 minutes for a full and effective regeneration to complete. During regeneration the exhaust gases reach temperatures above 550°C (1,022°F). The ECM monitors the EGT sensors during regeneration. If the sensors indicate that regeneration temperatures are exceeding a calibrated threshold, regeneration will be temporally suspended until the sensors return to a normal temperature. If EGT temperatures fall below a normal calibrated threshold, regeneration will be terminated and a corresponding DTC should set. If a regeneration event is interrupted for any reason, it will continue, including the next key cycle, when the conditions are met for regeneration enablement. Normal regeneration is transparent to the customer.
Caution: Tailpipe outlet exhaust temperature will be greater than 300°C (572°F) during service regeneration. To help prevent personal injury or property damage from fire or burns, perform the following:
- Do not connect any shop exhaust removal hoses to the vehicle's tailpipe.
- Park the vehicle outdoors and keep people, other vehicles, and combustible material away during service regeneration.
- Do not leave the vehicle unattended.
Caution: To avoid extremely elevated exhaust temperatures, inspect and remove any debris or mud build up at the exhaust cooler located at the tailpipe.
Notice: Due to the elevated engine temperatures created while performing this procedure it is imperative to keep the front of vehicle in an open environment, with the hood open, away from any walls or buildings. This will ensure proper airflow across the radiator.
A scan tool is an essential tool that is required for service regeneration. Commanding a service regeneration is accomplished using the output control function. The vehicle will need to be parked outside the facility and away from nearby objects, such as other vehicles and buildings, due to the elevated exhaust gas temperature at the tail pipe during regeneration. The service regeneration can be terminated by applying the brake pedal, commanding service regeneration OFF using the scan tool, or disconnecting the scan tool from the vehicle.
A number of engine components are required to function together for the regeneration process to be performed. These components are the fuel injectors, turbocharger, IA valve, fuel pressure control, and the intake air heater (IAH).
The regeneration process consists of several stages:
Warming up the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to 350°C (662°F) by performing the following:
| • ||Reducing air flow with the intake air valve|
| • ||Increasing or decreasing boost pressure with the turbocharger, depending on engine load|
| • ||Elevating the engine speed|
| • ||Reduce fuel rail pressure|
| • ||Retard fuel injection timing|
| • ||Add late fuel injection pulses. The added fuel is not combusted but is oxidized by the DOC and exhaust particulate filter (EPF) to create heat.|
Ash is a non-combustible by product from normal oil consumption. Low Ash content engine oil (CJ-4 API) is required for vehicles with the exhaust particulate filter (EPF) system. Ash accumulation in the EPF will eventually cause a restriction in particulate filter. Regeneration will not burn off the ash, only particulate matter is burned off. An ash loaded EPF will need to be removed from the vehicle and cleaned or replaced.

Why make hard working council staff suffer? It will have a knock on effect of depressing the local economy further.

A House in the Woods
Posted November 26, 2011on:
A House in the Woods by Inga Moore. (2011). Pages not numbered. Candlewick Press. Grades P-3.
A House in the Woods is a fresh and beautiful picture book that will become a classic. The gentle story tells about two Little Pigs that each make themselves a home in the woods. One little pig made a den and the other a hut. Then the two Little Pigs “went out walking together.” But when they came home they found that a big Bear has moved into the den and a huge Moose has taken over the hut. Neither Little Pig minds because they liked the Bear and the Moose. However, the Pigs’ homes were wrecked and they had “nowhere to live – not to mention Moose and Bear. This was a pickle. It really was.” Moose came up with a brilliant solution to their problem. They will build a big house that will shelter them all. Since they can’t do it on their own — “… Moose called the Beavers on the telephone . . .” Soon a team of Beaver Builders come to help them. The Beavers, complete with hard hats, arrive in trucks filled with building supplies. The Beavers request that they “be paid in peanut-butter sandwiches.” This charming story shows all the stages as the Beavers built the house. The final pictures show the four friends gathered around their new fire place telling stories and then fast asleep in their new beds. Moore’s softly colored lush illustrations make this a book to savor over every small detail of the woodland setting, the rapport between the friends and the enterprising, hard working Beavers.

Cannabis and hemp are both components of the marijuana plant. Interestingly, both plants have highly differing quantities of THC. While cannabis boasts greater levels of THC, (over 30 percent), hemp will just have around 0.3 percent.
For those that might not know, CBD is a cannabinoid substance that has a various collection of advantages than THC. Pure hemp oil, nonetheless, comes from marijuana seeds and only boasts an extremely little portion, to no quantity in all, of THC or CBD. Because of its large quantity of minerals and vitamins, hemp oil is located to have an excellent wealth of wellness advantages.
Sadly, there are not that numerous scientific research studies pertaining to dogs and CBD. There was a study executed back in 2018, nevertheless, that discovered that dogs identified with joint inflammation had actually considerably lowered levels of discomfort when offered CBD. Because research, researchers provided canines a little quantity of CBD according to body weight and found that gradually, the pet dogs displayed significant improvement in both their ability to move and just how much discomfort they were experiencing. The scientists utilized both the canine quick inventory as well as the Hudson activity scale to gauge their findings.
the research was released in 2019 that showed appealing results for pets with seizure conditions when CBD was paired along with seizure medication. Although the researchers kept in mind that the frequency of the seizures was lowered, they still called for additional testing.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." - Obi-Wan Kenobi, "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope"
Unless you've been living under a Death Star-sized rock the past 14+ hours, you've probably already been informed by now, courtesy of numerous outlets and some hundred or so grief-stricken friends online, of the devastating news: 60-year-old #CarrieFisher, the beautiful rebel princess from Alderaan that has captured our hearts and geeky minds for at least three generations, had just died.
Following a massive heart attack on a United Airlines flight from London to LA last Friday, December 23rd, Fisher, known for her books and for playing #PrincessLeia Organa in the Star Wars films, was rushed by the Los Angeles Fire Department to UCLA Medical Center after being "aggressively treated" with CPR and advanced life support by flight crew and "doctor and nurse passengers" inside the plane and later by paramedics waiting at the airport.
By Friday afternoon, the actress's brother Todd announced that she was "out of the emergency room," but gave no further details, which prompted, over the next few hours, numerous conflicting statements about Fisher's actual medical situation. By Saturday, he announced that Fisher had been moved to the ICU, where she was then undergoing continuous treatment.
Three days later, Fisher's daughter, actress Billie Lourd, finally confirmed the heartbreaking news: her mother had passed around 8:55 the morning of December 27, 2016, just a few days shy of New Year's Eve. (See the obituary here.)
The statement from Lourd's publicist is as follows:
It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning. She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.
Many hours later, Hamill took to his official Facebook page to post a heart-rending eulogy about the late Fisher (later reposted to his Twitter in photo format):
A little while after, #HarrisonFord, Fisher's other Star Wars co-star who played her love interest #HanSolo both onscreen AND off-screen (albeit very briefly for the latter), also released an official statement:
Carrie was one-of-a-kind… brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely. My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.
Last year (eerily around this time too) we lost Han Solo in The Force Awakens, and we all took to social media to express our grief, but no amount of mourning over Harrison Ford's character can compare to the heartache we now feel over the loss of both Princess Leia AND Carrie Fisher, two iconic, amazing and sardonically witty individuals without whom geek culture worldwide just wouldn't be the same. Both women have been integral parts of our childhood and young adulthood (depending on how old we were when we first saw the original trilogy) and will be missed greatly.
As of this writing, #Disney has yet to release an official statement on the "Star Wars-sized dilemma" over the fate of Fisher's character in future Star Wars films following Episode VIII. (She was already able to film all her scenes as Leia Organa for the next Star Wars movie before her tragic passing.)
Episode VIII is currently in post-production.
Fisher was traveling in the UK on her book tour when she suffered a severe cardiac arrest on her way home, just as her flight was approaching Los Angeles International Airport. YouTube star Anna Akana and actor-comedian Brad Gage, who sat in front of Fisher in the plane, watched as the actress "stopped breathing" for "10 minutes," while crew and passengers desperately tried to revive her.
The Star Wars actress is survived by her mother Debbie, daughter Billie Lourd from her marriage to Bryan Lourd, brother Todd Fisher, half-sisters Joely and Tricia Leigh Fisher, and Gary, her French Bulldog.

Three legged pit bull adopts tiny kittens az her own
Pit bulls get a bad rap, but Bella iz here to show you that they iz just az loving az any other animal.
When these foster kittens came to her home, Bella immediately stepped up and became their adopted mommy.
Bella, a rescue dog herself, just loves everybody (people, cats, even piglets!). The kittens immediately loved her too, and clinged to her az if she were their actual mother.
Bella's owner, Grace Kuhn, knew that the kittens would feel right at home.
"She is such a gentle dog and has befriended animals of all types of species before. My fiance David and I used to live on a farmed animal sanctuary in California, and she was the unlikely friend to many of the animals who resided there,” Kuhn told LittleThings.
She takes her foster mom responsibilities very seriously. She cuddles them, cleans them, kisses them, and loves to snuggle.

Alex's Review of Smokin' Aces 2: Assassin's Ball
Straight to DVD sequel is a pretty decent film with nothing ever remarkable that happens on-screen. The idea is good, but it lacks the fun and intensity of the first Smokin' Aces, which was not a perfect film, but managed to overcome its flaws with a good cast, effective dialogue and well developed characters. At times, there's still elements of sharp, witty overtones from the first that comes out over in this sequel. As far as I'm concerned, the film would have been much better if the film would have had a few rewrites and it would have been under a different title. As it is, Smokin' Aces didn't need a sequel and it's a low-budget affair that never does take off. The film is a decent on e at best and there are a few effective moments to please action buffs, but overall, this is a forgettable sequel to a good film. This one had potential of being something very good and if the script would never have been rushed, and it feels like it has, this one could have been just as much fun as the original. Decent, but ultimately forgettable in the long run, Smokin' Aces 2 is a film that relied on an interesting undeveloped concept. This is one worth seeing at least once just to kill an hour and a half of your time if you have nothing else better to do. Fans may be disappointed with this one, and with good reason. The material for a great follow-up is here, but it focuses more on the fact that it's a low-budget, straight to DVD film that the filmmakers seem to not give the chance of a good story to be told. Decent, and it could have been much better, but as far as Straight to DVD films are concerned, this is much better than most.

Wall Street, City of New York
- Special Collections > Keystone Slides
- tiff scanned file from original glass slide
- Wall Street runs in an easterly direction from Broadway, directly opposite Trinity Church. You are here looking westward towards the church. To the right of you in the immediate foreground is the United States Sub-Treasury Building with the statue of Washington in the front. To the left, in the foreground, is the New York Stock Exchange. The street is the money center of the United States. You will recall that the Dutch settled on the extreme southern end of Manhattan Island. To protect themselves from the attacks of the Indians and the English, they built a wall across the island from east to west. Wall Street occupies about the same ground upon which this wall stood. The United States Sub-Treasury Building was erected as the Custom House for the Port of New York. It stands on the ground where once stood the City Hall and the Government Buildings of the English Colony of New York. That is, at this spot was the capital of the province. At the close of the Revolution, the United States Capital was New York, and the Capitol Building was the present Sub-Treasury Building. It was here that Washington took oath of office as the first president of the United States on April 30, 1778. Inside the building you may still see the brown-stone slab upon upon which he stood when Chancellor Robert R. Livingston, of New York, administered the oath. Trinity Church is the home of an Episcopal Congregation that was organized in 1697. It occupies land that was given the congregation by the Crown of England. The present building was erected in 1846. About the church is a burial ground, famous because it contains the remains of Alexander Hamilton, Robert Fulton, and Captain Lawrence. Tell about Hamilton, Fulton, and Lawrence.

When most people see a forecast for warm weather, they plan for outdoor activities. Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Andrew Bartlow says warm temperatures remind him that climate change could boost the danger of disease.
“Climate change is a big thing,” says Bartlow, who studies West Nile virus, Zika, dengue fever, chikungunya, brucellosis, Q fever, Rift Valley fever, and potential pandemic pathogens, such as coronavirus and influenza. “Places get hotter, drier, or wetter—that’s going to shift where diseases are going to pop up.”
Understanding how environmental conditions impact emerging disease and learning how to mitigate disease spread is a key part of Bartlow’s work in biosecurity and biosurveillance. “We’re making sure we can identify pathogens and threats early and quickly so we can have the best possible response,” he says.
In 2021, the World Health Organization issued a report calling climate change “the single biggest health threat facing humanity.” Los Alamos researcher Morgan Gorris, who is studying how weather and climate affect people, agrees with that assessment.
“The effects of climate change on human health are incredibly important because not only do they affect us directly, like exposing us to more extreme heat events or more flooding events, they also have these indirect effects like allowing more disease vectors to flourish or allowing new diseases to inhabit new locations, so people that weren’t exposed to a disease before might become newly exposed to something,” Gorris says. “Climate change is expected to increase the number of disease outbreaks and emerging or new diseases.”
Even a slight increase in temperature can have a dramatic impact on the environment. Researchers have found that climate change is increasing the danger from diseases carried by insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Human population growth is also causing people to encroach into animal habitats leading to disease transmission.
“We really need to be aware of things like Chagas disease,” Bartlow says. Chagas is an inflammatory infectious illness once found only in South America, Central America, and Mexico that has now made its way, due to warmer temperatures, to the United States. “The parasite that carries Chagas has already been found in kissing bugs in Texas,” Bartlow says. “That’s scary to me.” Chagas can stay undiagnosed in a patient’s bloodstream for more than a decade before causing heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest.
Modeling a moving menace
Bartlow, Gorris, and their colleagues from the Lab’s infectious disease and Earth systems teams focus on vector-borne diseases, such as West Nile and Zika, which are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. The scientists’ goal is to develop projections for how and when insects will move into new geographical areas. “It’s very significant,” says Jeanne Fair, of the Lab’s Biosecurity and Public Health group. “It’s a huge problem for all of us in the temperate regions of the future.”
Infected arthropods transmit pathogens when they bite and feed on people. Fair’s research shows that mosquitoes and ticks are expanding their ranges and carrying numerous diseases into new environments. In recent years, Lyme disease and other pathogens once limited to certain geographical areas have spread across the country. In 2020, the World Health Organization reported that vector-borne diseases accounted for more than 17 percent of all infectious diseases, causing more than 700,000 deaths annually. A 2018 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed vector-borne disease in the United States had increased by 300 percent from 2004 to 2016.
Fair’s colleague, Carrie Manore, is an epidemiological mathematician who specializes in modeling mosquito-borne diseases. Manore’s work involves compiling information on how temperature, precipitation, humidity, vegetation, human infrastructure, and other factors affect the way illnesses such as Zika and malaria spread. “Climate change is expected to shift the geographic boundaries of where diseases currently are,” she says. “As temperatures warm, there may be more disease vectors that can start living farther north in warmer habitats; diseases that were once limited to tropical and subtropical areas could now become temperate diseases.”
Manore stresses the importance of collecting data to build accurate mathematical forecasts of how and when these mosquitoes will reach new geographic areas. Preventing disease will only be possible with accurate data, Manore says. “In some cases, we can do a really good job with our forecasting and predicting. And that’s particularly true for diseases where we have good data, like dengue, influenza, and illnesses like COVID-19. There are others where we are limited by data availability. If we have a pathogen that’s kind of rare that we don’t have a lot of data on, the uncertainty around it increases. One of the things we’re working on is encouraging open sourcing of data and working with partners to help us get the data we need to have more certainty.”
Both Fair and Manore say collecting the data, building the models, and tracking the patterns represent essential steps toward disease prevention and protection. “With modeling, you can test mitigations,” Fair says. “Once you have the models coupled, you can look at different scenarios. What if we increased spraying [to kill insects] or irrigated [our crops] differently?”
The models could allow individuals and public entities to adjust accordingly. “You can quantify the risk of certain things,” says Manore. “I can say: Don’t go to this region because this is the hot zone right now, or stay in a house with screens, or wear mosquito repellent,” she notes. “It’s also useful for decision makers and public policy people to say, ‘We are expecting a bad year for Zika, or whatever, and these are the things we can do to impact that risk and hopefully reduce it.’”
Dodging deadly dust
While climate change has some scientists looking at winged sources of disease flying above them, other researchers are focused on the ground. Increasing temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns are predicted to cause a rise in cases of coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever. The infectious fungal disease lives in the soil and flourishes in warm, dry climates that undergo periodic drenching rains.
The fungi grow during the wet periods, then break apart into tiny spores that travel in dust. When dust and dirt blow or are disturbed and people inhale the spores, the fungus invades their immune systems. The symptoms vary widely, often mimicking pneumonia or lung cancer. The fungus can also attack a person’s skin, bones, nervous system, and brain. People who aren’t killed by Valley fever often require antifungal treatments for the rest of their lives.
Once seen primarily in Arizona and central California, now, in response to environmental changes, Valley fever may spread across the western United States. “Our projections show that the disease may extend all the way north to the United States–Canada border by the year 2100,” says Gorris, who notes that although the number of cases is rising dramatically, awareness of the fungal spore illness remains limited, and many cases go undiagnosed.
“One of my main hopes in studying this disease is to increase awareness,” she says. “A lot of folks haven’t heard about Valley fever, but by raising disease awareness among physicians and health care providers, we may be able to reduce the time to a diagnosis, and reduce the time to start treatment, and hopefully improve disease outcomes.”
In the meantime, Gorris hopes that a global effort to slow climate change will also slow the spread of Valley fever. “There is no feasible way to stop the spread of Valley fever by changing our physical environment because the disease is very interconnected with soils and rodents,” she says. “The only plausible way of reducing the spread is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and limit climate change.”
As Gorris works with fellow researchers to forecast the spread of Valley fever, she also collaborates with Los Alamos statisticians and epidemiological mathematicians to investigate other fungal diseases that live in the soil. Histoplasmosis and blastomycosis are two more infections that could spread because of climate change.
“Fungal diseases are something that people don’t talk about much that are pretty terrifying,” Manore says. “Climate change causes cascading impacts that we don’t even anticipate. We live in one giant ecosystem, and if it gets out of equilibrium, it’s going to impact everything.”
Drought, flooding, food insecurity, and unprecedented weather phenomena are displacing people across the globe, leading to widespread migration. According to Bartlow, as climate change drives people to relocate, they are increasingly taking over animal habitats. “Land use has changed from forest to agricultural land and more urbanized areas, and people are encroaching into wildlife habitats. People are going to come into contact with animals and be more exposed to potential pathogen threats.”
Bartlow recalls cases of Hendra virus in Australia. The disease spreads when infected fruit bats urinate and defecate on pastureland where horses graze. The horses become infected and spread the virus to people. Studying diseases that spread from animals to humans, called zoonotic diseases, is an important part of mapping the impact of climate change. “We still need to understand more, and that will help with the modeling and then ultimately mitigation,” Bartlow says. “So I think we’re at the point right now where we know a lot about these things, but we need to do more.”
Gorris echoes these concerns and emphasizes the urgency of this research. “The more humans interact with their natural environment, and the more we expand into undisturbed lands as we’re building out and creating more urban areas, the more we risk these chances of spillover and creating new diseases in the human population.”
But increasingly populated areas aren’t the only places that pose a threat. Thawing arctic permafrost poses yet another reason climate change could lead to disease outbreak. Bartlow says he fears that harmful bacteria and diseases once frozen in the earth are defrosting as temperatures rise. “We’re actually working on some proposals to do biosurveillance in Arctic regions where permafrost is thawing,” he says. “We want to be actively surveilling these areas where things could come out such as anthrax, for example. There have been some outbreaks in Siberia recently that came from bacteria in thawing permafrost that got into reindeer populations and then in humans. It’s a big worry.”
Another worry is diseases that haven’t posed a threat to humans for a century or more. Frozen victims of smallpox and the 1918 flu virus may be buried in the thawing permafrost. “There will definitely be some of these pathogens that are now getting exposed, and potentially some of them may be ones that we haven’t had around in a long time,” Fair says.
Although the threat lurking in thawing permafrost might not be as imminent as that posed by migrating mosquitoes, Bartlow and Fair believe it’s worth investigating. “We don’t really know what’s out there,” Bartlow points out. “Just think of things that could be in there in the permafrost, thawing and then being released. That’s why we want to go up there and actually do active surveillance—so we can be prepared.”
Preparing to prevent pandemics
The desire to prepare for environmental changes and their impacts on disease spread motivates many Los Alamos scientists to continue their research. “The opportunity to work with health officials and epidemiologists to inform folks where these diseases might be a risk makes me feel like I’m contributing to my community and helping,” Gorris says.
Manore agrees, stressing the need for continued research. “Investing in strategic public health research that keeps people healthy by preventing and catching things early is how we reduce mortality and morbidity,” she says. “Our data and models help quantify risk for people and really informs them.”
Part of preparation involves collaborating with scientists around the world. “Diseases do not respect borders,” says Manore, who cooperates with researchers in Ecuador, Brazil, and Mexico.
Bartlow and Fair are working with partners in Georgia, Jordan, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and Ukraine to help researchers in those countries learn how to extract and sequence RNA and DNA to identify pathogens. “Having these systems set up in all parts of the world is super important,” Bartlow says. “We give other researchers the tools, we train them, and we have a shared goal of preventing pandemics. If they identify something, they can do the necessary mitigation strategies in their own countries. But with globalization, things spread much more quickly. We are really trying to understand ecological health security,” he concludes.
Fair says that the COVID-19 pandemic offers a lesson about global interconnection. “A threat anywhere is a threat everywhere,” she notes. “As we have environmental change caused by climate change, then that’s only going to potentially exacerbate the connectedness of threats.”
The scientists also agree that the importance of studying the connection between climate change and disease spread cannot be overstated.
“It may seem funny to think of human health as a national security concern, but it is,” Gorris says. “If we can’t protect the health of our own nation, we create instability and a vulnerable population.”
Fortunately, according to Fair, Los Alamos National Laboratory has access to both the experts and technology to tackle this issue. “When we think of climate change and infectious diseases, a multitude of complex systems come together. Studying really complex systems requires a very collaborative, multidisciplinary effort. It can only be done at a lab like Los Alamos.”
With this collaborative research, the scientists say they have the power to make a difference. Gorris notes that her work offers reassurance that positive change is possible.
“When we looked at the projections of Valley fever in response to climate change, we looked at a high greenhouse gas emission and high climate warming scenario, but we also looked at a moderate greenhouse gas emission and moderate warming scenario. What we found was limiting the amount of greenhouse gas emissions limited the spread of Valley fever. So, ultimately, reducing greenhouse gas emissions could reduce the number of Valley fever cases. And I think that’s a very important point to take home. It’s not all doom and gloom.” ★

He also served the colonies and young nation in England and France, where he was greatly admired and regarded as a genius. Today Benjamin Franklin's wisdom and influence still reverberate through literature, science, politics, and society (1706-1790).
The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family.

Fed releases hypothetical stress test scenarios
The Federal Reserve Board has released its hypothetical scenarios for a second round of bank stress tests. Earlier this year, the Board's first round of stress tests found that large banks were well capitalized under a range of hypothetical events. An additional round of stress tests is being performed due to the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID event. Large banks will be tested against two scenarios featuring severe recessions to assess their resiliency under a range of outcomes. The Board will release firm-specific results from banks' performance under both scenarios by the end of this year.
The two hypothetical recessions in the scenarios feature severe global downturns with substantial stress in financial markets. The first scenario—the "severely adverse"—features the unemployment rate peaking at 12.5 percent at the end of 2021 and then declining to about 7.5 percent by the end of the scenario. Gross domestic product declines about 3 percent from the third quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2021. The scenario also features a sharp slowdown abroad.
The second scenario—the "alternative severe"—features an unemployment rate that peaks at 11 percent by the end of 2020 but stays elevated and only declines to 9 percent by the end of the scenario. Gross domestic product declines about 2.5 percent from the third to the fourth quarter of 2020.
The two scenarios also include a global market shock component that will be applied to banks with large trading operations. Those banks, as well as certain banks with substantial processing operations, will also be required to incorporate the default of their largest counterparty.

It was a place of nightmares.
But now, a year after the attack on the finish line of the Boston Marathon, survivors are returning to that spot. To heal, to grieve, but mostly to send a message: They’re not stopping for anyone.
The photographer Robert X. Fogarty released a new photography project and short film on Thursday that depicts survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing returning to the finish line, the place of attack, and reclaiming it as a place for hope.
The images are raw, unflinching, and defiant.
Fogarty first gained national attention with his “Dear New Orleans” project, a photography series where New Orleanians who lived through Hurricane Katrina wrote powerful messages of hope on their body in black ink. With the anniversary of the Boston attack coming up, Fogarty traveled with a film crew to Boston to meet survivors and take them back to the finish line.
For some, like Celeste Corcoran, it was her first time back to the spot since the attack occurred. Corcoran lost both legs below the knee in the bombing. Her daughter, Sydney Corcoran, also sustained serious injuries in the attack.
“Celeste, she told me this beautiful thing about how she’s ready to reclaim the finish line,” Fogarty said. “That it’s Boston’s finish line and her finish line and she’s ready to make new memories.”
The Corcorans will be attending the marathon this year.
Fogarty’s website also included this message:
When we asked you to return to the finish line, a place that changed your lives, we knew it wouldn’t be easy. You told us some days are harder than others, but that it’s okay to have bad days.
Mostly you told us about the goodness of others. Colleagues who babysat. School kids who sent notes. Neighbors who cooked dinner.
What happened that day was terror. Terror happens when love is absent.
Boston is a city of love stories now.
Thank you for sharing yours here. As you heal, know you inspire the rest of us to be better, still.

Krudo Knives MANIKOMIO Fixed Blade Knife 5" Black Double Combo Edge, Black G10 Handles, Kydex Sheath - KMAN910
KRKMAN910: MANIKOMIO Fixed Blade
Louis Krudo's father was the inspiration for this design as well as the name of MANIKOMIO. His father Salvadore, Sal for short, had an endearing nickname that only his closest friends were allowed to call him; "Manikomio". Sal had a great sense of humor, was highly energetic, willing to take on a friendly dare, was extremely brave and respected in his circles. Louis' father still influences his work and his life.
The MANIKOMIO Fixed Blade is the first fixed blade of this size that Louis Krudo has added to his line up in recent years. Since the first fixed blades - RAW, MMF, and HAIKU - Krudo has placed nearly all of his designing attention on folders. When he was asked to design a field knife, the MANIKOMIO was conceived. You will see the strong resemblance to the Krudo DRASTIK folder as the design of the Roman gladius sword inspired both blades.
The name MANIKOMIO refers to an insane asylum. This blade is insanely sleek and, with its all-black elements, insanely stealth. There is a hint of red accentuating the knife handle that is the signature Krudo Knives red. This double edge blade sports bilateral serrations with a centerline blood groove.
Krudo designed this knife with a slight radius to the scales, a double-sided guard, and a longer than average handle length. The black Kydex sheath is attached to a black nylon belt system which can be easily removed and replaced with the carry system of your choice. Use this knife in the field, camping, hunting and any outdoor activities where you need a serious blade. The MANIKOMIO is a dependable blade - all business, yet stylish.
All aspects of the production of Krudo Knives designs are overseen by Louis Krudo — relentlessly, meticulously, verging on OCD, mixed with odd hours and lots of hot coffee. The MANIKOMIO was built in China and hands-on, quality-controlled in Cave Creek, AZ, USA.

IRS Extends April 15 Deadline for Payments
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The IRS is postponing the April 15 tax-payment deadline for individuals, giving Americans an additional 90 days to pay their 2019 income-tax bills.
The IRS, using authority under the President’s national emergency declaration, will waive interest and penalties as well, Treasury Secretary said Tuesday. The delay is available to people who owe million or less and corporations that owe $10 million or less.
The IRS will continue to process tax refunds. Taxpayers should file their returns as usual by April 15th, but they can defer payment for up to 90 days beyond that. Presumably, they can also seek six-month extensions
The IRS hasn’t explained whether taxpayers can also defer estimated- tax payments for the first quarter of 2020, which are also due on April 15.

The Thai government has approved Harbour A Development Project at the gateway port of Laem Chabang, the government website reported after a cabinet meeting.
This allows the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) to construct an L-shaped harbour measuring 30 m wide and 120-125 m long, with a 115 x 120 m marina and a mean sea level of 10 m.
“The harbour will support one vessel with tonnage capacity of 3,000 dwt carrying 200 dwt containers, and one with tonnage capacity of 1,000 dwt carrying 100 dwt containers. A shore crane and a container arranging crane will be installed to support up to 300,000 teu containers per year,” the website said.
The facility will be located at Marina 1 between Harbour A1 and A0 on a 6.9 ha area. The construction period is set to be 24 months.

“PAT will invest in infrastructure construction and all main handling equipment, as well as management and operation with the total investment budget of THB1,864.19 million (USD55,000),” the website added.
The cabinet also gave permission for minimum charges of THB1,545 and maximum charges of THB3,180 at the harbour.
The minimum charge consists of the lift-on/lift-off charge of THB715 per container of all sizes and conditions and a movement charge of THB830 per container, while the maximum charge consists of the advanced rate of lift on/lift off charge of THB2,010 and a movement charge of THB1,170 per container.

When I found out a few days ago that Tom and I would be in Cardiff for New Year’s Eve, I started googling things to do, fireworks etc and something that kept coming up was the Barry Island New Year’s Day swim. As this is the first year that I’m not hungover on the 1st January, I thought it might be fun if Tom and I joined in the beach fun.
Sadly Tom’s work ran longer than expected so we didn’t make it to the beach in time for the mass start but we did spot a few brave souls that stayed in longer than the rest of the crowds.
Now in it’s 32nd year, they anticipated that 1000 people would turn up to take to the sea or watch those mad enough to strip off for the event. Many don fancy dress for the occasion and use it as a charity fundraising event.
Some people weren’t going anywhere near that water…despite having swimming trunks on under his tracksuit bottoms.
I really wanted to go in, despite the frigid temperatures, but didn’t want to run in alone. I took off my shoes and socks, rolled up my leggings and ran towards the sea…
…ankle deep I realised just how cold it was! This face says it all!
I wish I could tell you that I braved the cold, stripped off and started to swim, but the truth is I ran pretty quickly back to Tom and the towel to thaw my white feet out. I’m so impressed by everyone that fully submerged themselves into the sea, especially those in bikinis and budgie smugglers!
Since we completely copped out of the swim, we took advantage of the pool in Tom’s new apartment complex and went for a far warmer dip in the afternoon. Starting my New Year’s resolutions on day 1 – score!
Are any of you Gavin And Stacey fans? If you are you would probably have recognised the beach and arcade at Barry from the series. I used to love the show, so it was fun to see this at one of the busy beachside cafes!
Have you ever done something a bit different on New Year’s Day?

Plastic is one of the most useful and versatile substances in modern manufacturing. It comes in all kinds of different forms and grades. While end users might not always value or appreciate this incredible substance, anyone involved in manufacturing or engineering certainly does. It’s used to create all kinds of products that help to make life better, greener and easier for everyone.
Take nylon plastic for example. Originally developed back in the 1930s, it’s the original synthetic fibre. Over the years it’s use has been expanded to include a huge range of different things, not just fabrics. The great thing about it is that it’s wear resistant, making it ideal for use in gears and valve seats for example. It’s heat resistant too making it perfect for use in mechanical parts, particularly in the car industry.
Acrylic plastic includes substances like perspex. These transparent plastics provide a neat alternative to glass. When they’re treated and reinforced they become both shatter proof and scratch resistant, which makes them a safer and stronger alternative to glass.
In high end manufacturing and industrial engineering businesses need to partner with a supplier who can provide them with all of the high grade plastics that they need. This is no easy task. Their requirements are highly specialised. They need premium grade plastics to help them manufacture a huge range of different goods and products, or to assist with complex industrial process. The choice of partner is hugely important as they become a strategic ally in the engineering business.
