ECS P5VP-A+ Review
That Bus Don't Stop Here...
Currently the flagship Super7 mainboard in Elitegroup's small fleet of socket 7 mainboards, the P5VP-A+ offers a wide range of CPU core voltages and external frequencies. Taiwan-based, Elitegroup has dedicated itself not only to mainboard manufacturing technology, but also in the area of BIOS research, system integration, and software support. Combining its know-how in mainboard design and innovation with these new areas of development, Elitegroup's intent is to provide their customers with the lowest total cost of ownership and comprehensive system management capability. With innovations such as their P6BXT-A+ (reviewed here earlier) Elitegroup will no doubt be at the forefront of mainboard and system design and manufacturing as we approach the coming millennium.
As with most current ATX mainboards, all backpanel I/O connectors are mounted on the PCB itself so that the only cables/connectors required are floppy and IDE cables, both of which you' find boxed with the mainboard. The package also includes a concise and effective User's Manual along with Elitegroup's Mainboard Support Disk which contains all of the necessary drivers to get your VIA MVP3 core logic based system up and running as well as PC-cillin OEM Ver 4.02 and LANDesk Client Manager 3.30, if you've ordered the optional hardware monitoring chip.
The P5VP-A+ offers support for 66/75/83/95/100/112 and 124MHz front side bus and clock multipliers ranging from x1.5 to x4.5, through a somewhat confusing set of 18 jumper pins. CPU core voltages range from 2.1v to 3.5v in 0.1v increments and even include a 1.2v setting. Along with it's AGP slot, the P5VP-A+ has 4 PCI and 2 ISA (one shared) for expansion and 3 DIMM slots for system memory support up to 768MB. The mainboard provides a basic set of I/O ports. The I/O ports are supported by the Winbond W83877 Super I/O chip and also the VIA chipset. The board has external connectors for two serial ports (UART 16550 compatible), two USB ports, one parallel port (bi-directional/EPP/ECP), one PS/2 mouse port and one PS/2 keyboard port. A connector is provided for an optional standard infrared port. The mainboard includes an interface for one or two floppy disk drives, and two PCI IDE channels which can support Ultra DMA/33 drives.
The P5VP-A+ is a well laid out ATX mainboard and offers ample room for an oversize CPU heatsink/fan combo. All of the necessary connectors are easy to identify and access. Were it not for a somewhat confusing jumper array, setup would be a breeze. As you can see, at right, J1, the jumper block which governs external CPU speed and clock multipliers, is an 18-pin grouping that is configured by means of 6 color-coded jumpers. It isn't the jumper array itself but rather the manual's explanation of the jumper block that confused me more than anything. On the whole, I think that the neophyte upgrader may be thrown for a loop when confronted by such an extensive block. All that aside, the board, once the CPU is properly configured, is simplicity itself. BIOS configuration is extensive but well documented in the manual with each setting briefly described as well as the manufacturer's recommendation.
The P5VP-A+ was tested using Ziff-Davis' Business Winstone 98 performance benchmark, Futuremark's 3DMARK 99 MAX and Quake II's Demo 1 and Massive FPS applications. The marks recorded after three runs of each benchmark are then averaged to reflect the scores here.
Test Configuration for ECS P5VP-A+
|L2 Cache||1MB PBSRAM|
|Processor(s)|| Intel P233MMX
Rise mP6 Pr266
IDT WinChip 2 PR300
Cyrix MII 333
AMD K6-2 350/400MHz, K6-III 400MHz
|Memory|| 1x64MB PC100
Corsair CM 654S64-BX2
|Hard Drive|| Quantum Fireball EX
6.4G Ultra ATA/33
|Graphics Adapter||Diamond Viper 550 16MB AGP|
|Operating System||Windows 98|
Futuremark's 3DMARK 99 is not only a great benchmark application for testing your graphics card, the scores it reflects for performance in the form of 3Dmarks and synthetic CPU 3Dmarks can also be a gauge of how well your system can perform. The following are scores generated testing at a resolution of 800x600 and again are the average of three runs of each test...
I have also included the Quake II frame rates to demonstrate the board against a real world gaming application...
While the board is extremely stable at all speeds up to 100MHz, I had a great deal of difficulty getting the system stable when bumping the FSB to 112MHz. Disabling "Cache Rd & CPU Wt" and lowering the Cache Timing speeds offered some relief but having used the same memory and graphics card in a number of systems, I am well aware of their abilities and was a bit concerned that the L2 cache RAM was not of the extremely high quality necessary for extending FSB speed. I want to add however that the system is so stable at 100MHz that I could overclock the K6-2 350MHz up to 400MHz and the K6-2 400MHz up to 450MHz by increasing the clock multipliers. Neither required increases to the CPU core voltage and ran for hours without any problem after upgrading the BIOS to ver. 2.2.2c.
About The K6-III
Elitegroup's website offers support for the AMD k6-2 450MHz in their newest BIOS update but makes no mention of the K6-III. The board was not real stable although it managed to get through the benchmark applications without any problem. Often it would parse the BIOS several times at bootup and certain programs and hardware did cause random lockups especially IE4 when using MS Intellimouse.
Elitegroup will have to make a few changes to the design of their super7 mainboards if they want to compete against the likes of EPoX, SOYO and Iwill. While the performance is stable and completely adequate, the P5VP-A+'s feature set and difficulty of configuration relegate it to OEMs, VARs and experienced system builders. It's apparent inability to support the K6-III, at this time, also hurts. ECS' focus currently seems to aimed toward more Intel-based system boards as their numerous high quality socket 370 and Slot-1 boards attest. Approved for it's stability at default CPU settings and concise manual, the P5VP-A+ is definitely not our first choice for a super7 system board...


In February this year, the Afghan Taliban and the United States signed an agreement aimed at achieving an end to almost 30 years of violent conflict in Afghanistan. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo witnessed the signing but did not hesitate to remark that there were still several difficult facets that needed to be sorted out.
It may be mentioned that Afghanistan has been in a state of turmoil for more than 40 years. Following the US invasion in 2001, this conflict has also become America's longest war.
The US direct involvement started with US-led forces overthrowing the existing Taliban government because it had provided a safe haven for the al-Qaeda leadership- which had been directly involved in the September 11 attacks in the USA. After this measure a new interim government was formed in Afghanistan and Taliban members were classed as "enemy combatants". Many of them were subsequently killed or imprisoned.
After this initial dynamics, for a brief while, it appeared as if Afghanistan was heading towards stability. However, by 2004 the Taliban had been able to re-group itself. The world watched with horror how they started launching insurgent attacks against the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the foreign troops which supported it.
The search for peace in Afghanistan through reconciliation of sorts with the Taliban, according to political strategists was initiated with some seriousness in 2010 through the formation of the Afghan High Peace Council. It was composed of a group of politicians, civil society activists and former Mujahideen. It also included several women as well as moderate Taliban figures. The basic idea behind this effort was to open up communication channels with the insurgents (scattered all over Afghanistan) to talk peace.
US wants all their forces to leave Afghanistan by May 2021.
US President Donald Trump has already promised to reduce
the number to 5,000 by November, the lowest level since the
US invasion began in 2001
In 2013 came the next step. Through the pro-active engagement of the USA and some others from the European Union, the Qatari government was persuaded to agree to the establishment of a political office for the Taliban in Doha, the capital of that country. This enabled the Taliban to secure an address. However, a sputter of disapproval emerged from the Afghan President Karzai when he came to know that the talks between the different Parties would include direct talks between the USA and the Taliban. After this, the scenario deteriorated further when the Taliban flag was raised above the building in Doha and a plaque installed, reading "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan". This led to serious protests from the Afghan President and the office was duly closed within days. However the media reported that the Taliban members stayed on in Qatar.
At the same time, instead of patience, fighting in Afghanistan intensified and the Taliban gradually increased their territorial control- much to the concern of the USA and the EU.
The situation continued to deteriorate.
This downward movement ended up in 2018 with US President Donald Trump- eager to pull American troops out of Afghanistan – appointing Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad as US Special Envoy for Afghanistan Reconciliation. It was a strategic measure because he had been- born in Afghanistan, been US Ambassador to Afghanistan after 2001 and was known to be reasonably acceptable to most sides in Afghanistan's complex array of ethnicities.
In 2019, the US and the Taliban met for several rounds of talks in Doha. The electronic and print media both reported that the Taliban, during the talks had underlined the need for a timetable for a US troop withdrawal. The US, apparently on the other hand, demanded that the Taliban end all ties with the international terrorist group- Al-Qaeda. It was also reiterated by the US that there should not be any inter-active engagement between the Taliban and the ISIS.
Discussions continued with efforts to find least common denominators. However, instead of coming to a final agreement, in September, 2019, President Trump abruptly cancelled the ongoing talks- because of a suicide attack in Kabul that killed 12 people including a US soldier. At that point, it was seen as the last straw on the camel’s back.
Nevertheless, with the Covid pandemic ringing the bell in New York, it was decided by the USA (because 2020 was a US Presidential election year) that efforts needed to be made to restart dialogue between the USA and the Taliban. In February 2020 the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that a new deal was on the table. Diplomatic nuance was employed in this regard. The Afghan government had always stressed on the need for a ceasefire to build trust - something the Taliban persistently rejected. This time, the US negotiators tried to circumvent this hurdle by making the Taliban agree to a seven-day "reduction in violence" period. It was also clarified to the Taliban leadership that there would be a gradual withdrawal of US troops over a 10- to 20-week period and a complete withdrawal over three to five years. The Taliban, were very careful in their response – but made it clear that further movement forward between the Parties would have to take note of the fact that the Taliban not only rejected the current Afghan constitution but believed the only acceptable solution of the problem lay in an "Islamic" government in Afghanistan. They however, in principle, would allow women to work within an "Islamic framework" consistent with Islamic values.
As expected most analysts as well as the Afghan population were not convinced that this latest attempt to bring forth peace and a peaceful political future in Afghanistan would succeed.
The challenges ahead were formidable. This included wrangling over a prisoner exchange plan. The past US-Taliban agreement had promised "up to 5,000" Taliban prisoners being set free by the Afghan government ahead of the negotiations, in return for 1,000 members of the security forces held by the militants. The Taliban, in this regard also insisted that exactly 5,000 prisoners should be freed, and that only detainees named on a list by the group would be counted.
Well, with the US Presidential election less than two months away, the media has reported that Trump is making another attempt to finalize some sort of an agreement with the Taliban so that he can complete at least a partial withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. The new round of talks has now started again in Qatar.
In the meantime, the Taliban have raised the levels of violence. Apparently, they had earlier agreed not to continue operations in major cities. Nevertheless, the Taliban fighters have been carrying out increased attacks on remote checkpoints. There has also been a spate of targeted assassination attempts on pro-government figures, many of which have gone suspiciously unclaimed.
The latest dynamics has seen Afghan President Ashraf Ghani freeing hundreds of Taliban prisoners. This has partially been due to US frustration.
It is generally understood that this latest discussion between the concerned Parties will also give priority to talks between the Taliban and Afghan government, or "intra-Afghan negotiations", and a possible "peace deal". Ordinary Afghan citizens are hoping that a ceasefire can be agreed. Most citizens however think that this is unlikely as the Taliban seem determined to continue fighting until their demands are met. Some anti- terrorist analysts have hinted that the Taliban also do not want their fighters to lay down their weapons, in case it becomes difficult later on to redeploy them – if the Taliban subsequently decide to move closer to their rival militants within the Islamic State group.
This time round, the dialogue between the US and the Taliban will be more focused on removing disagreements that are thwarting US efforts to bringing US troops back home.
US wants all their forces to leave Afghanistan by May 2021. US President Donald Trump has already promised to reduce the number to 5,000 by November, the lowest level since the US invasion began in 2001. Most unfortunately, the Trump Administration is giving more priority to the election rather than to warnings from UN and EU officials that links between the Taliban and al-Qaeda pertaining to terrorism have yet to be broken down.
During the discussions in Doha, it is likely that the Taliban will suggest the formation of an "interim" government which they will form part of. One does not really know how the current Afghan Administration and political leadership will respond to this. Many European observers are suggesting that they might wait for the November US Presidential election to determine whether Trump will return or Biden will step into the White House. In the meantime the European Union has stressed that if any future Kabul regime does not adhere to international standards on human rights and is not inclusive in nature- investment and aid could be withheld.
The Taliban has mentioned that they value international legitimacy. However, despite protracted talks, what emerges as an opportunity for peace- might face new challenges after the US election results.

Have you ever been given a gift and responded with something like...oh you shouldn't have...or maybe...you didn't have to do that! It's kind of a go to response for many people. We don't always know how to accept a gift. Sometimes we probably don't think we are worthy of it. Other times we don't even recognize it as a gift.
It's a shame when that happens. It means that someone loves us and took time to make that extra special effort on our behalf, so how can we turn that down so easily?
27 years ago I was given a gift. I didn't know it at the time. My Mother came home and announced she was getting married again. I still lived at home but I was nearly an adult and had my own life, so I really didn't know much about this man she was going to marry. I had met him in passing, and I was delighted she was getting married again. In fact I had been trying to marry her off for years.
Over the years as I got to know him, I came to realize that he was the sort of person we all aspire to be. He is kind, compassionate, faithful and would help anyone out who needs it. He is just an all around good person. I will never be as good of person as he is, but I sincerely wish I could be. I have used him as an example to apply to my own actions on many occasions.
Like my Mother, this was his second marriage. The first time he was married he adopted three children all when they were babies, so he was the only Father they ever knew. He looked upon them as gifts. After he got his divorce they didn't have much to do with him sadly.
This week we received the news that the youngest, my step-brother passed away rather unexpectedly. While it's had a huge impact, you don't need to offer me any condolences because despite being a member of our immediate family, I only met him once, and it was a couple decades ago. So I don't feel a great personal sense of loss. But yet his passing has had a deep effect on me all the same.
I feel an unspeakable sadness and sense of loss for what my Step Father must be going through right now. He doesn't deserve this pain. But oddly the greatest sadness I feel is for my step brother. He was given such an incredible gift in having this very fine man as a Father and he didn't recognize it for what it was, nor did he accept it. Now that he is gone, he will never know what was truly offered to him.
I can imagine the devastation my Step Father is feeling right now. I am sure deep in his heart he always hoped a time would come when his son would reach out to him in the way he reached out from the very beginning. That opportunity has passed now, and it makes me sad beyond what words can express.
So I have shed many tears for the loss of a man I didn't know, and the pain of one I know well. I thank God that I do recognize him for the gift he is, and I have tried to show it to the best of my ability so that he knows he is loved. He has made up for so many things that my own Father was not. I don't blame my Father for his frailties, but he was a damaged person and not the Father I wished he could have been. I have been very fortunate to have my step Father take that place in my life and my heart several years after my own Father had passed on. That was undeniably a gift that I didn't expect.
When someone offers you a gift, great or small....whether it's a friend...family member or a higher power. Accept it with grace. You do deserve it because you are loved. The one who offers the gift needs to know that you appreciate it too...that's important to them so that they know they are loved in return.

MTV's Jersey Shore star Ronnie passes miraculous kidney stone that closely resembles Snooki
STATEN ISLAND, NY - Reality TV fans were concerned for the health of Jersey Shore star Ronnie after learning he had recently needed medical attention for kidney stones. Their concern turned to delight, however, upon learning that one of the passed stones bore an exact likeness to his costar Snooki.
“He was in pretty bad shape,” said Ron’s physician Dr. Harold Leeds. “Kidney stones can be unbearable uncomfortable and painful. But the look on his face after discovering he’d passed a stone that looked just like Snooki was priceless. A sense of relief and fascination and wonder and maybe just a hint of disgust. Just the way most people when watching the show.”
“It really is adorable,” said Ronnie while cuddling the miraculous Snooki-shaped stone. “It’s like little Snooks crawled up inside my urinatry tract, caused a massive infection, made it painful for me to urinate, and then ended up staring up at me smiling. I guess I would not be the first guy she’s done that to.”
Plans are being put in place to market the Snooki kidney stone. It will begin a tour of the United States, beginning with several malls in Northern New Jersey. The stone is also available for private parties and appearances. “With the Snooki stone, we obviously expect you to pay a higher appearance fee than with the actual Snooki,” said the kidney stone’s agent Ricardo Battaglia. “It’s not going to drink much or cause a scene like she would. You also don’t have to listen to it talk.”

Lake Griffin State Park, Day #2
Gary was up and gone early on Saturday, the start of our 2nd day here at Lake Griffin State Park. He had been wanting to go to one of the Renninger's Antique Extravaganzas in nearby Mt.Dora for years, and today was the day. As usual, I waited patiently for the return of my camping pal, and kept watch for the bear that was rumored to be roaming the park. I didn't think he would show up during the day, but Gary told me to look for him, and I was going to take my "job" very seriously. It was a sun-filled day that started off in the mid 40's, but quickly heated up to the high 60's. A PERFECT day for camping. I was sure that Gary would find something interesting at the antique show, but what would it be? I waited all day to find out. It was nearly 5PM before Gary came "home" with his small array of treasures. Remember that cool Scotty Beverages bottle that he found at the antique store recently? Well this time, he found another Scotty related bottle. It just says Scot on it. It's not nearly as awesome as the first one he found, but for two dollars, he HAD to have it. His second find was a bright red suitcase with silver trim that sort of matches me. His plan is to line it with foam padding, and it will serve as the carrying case for the toaster shaped salt and pepper sets that he's been collecting lately. The third treasure of the day was a toaster shaped cookie jar. It just happens to be the companion piece for the very first salt and pepper shaker set that he bought, and made by the same company. It's too big to display in me, but since Gary loves all things toaster related, it was five dollars well spent. The fourth item he found is my favorite, and one that I will cherish forever. Gary knows I get kind of lonesome sometimes when I'm by myself, so he bought me a pet of my very own. She's a little sheet metal Scotty dog. Isn't she sweet? I've got to come up with a cute name for her, but I've got plenty of time for that. I just think she's adorable, and it was thoughtful of Gary to buy her for me. With her to keep me company, I won't be missing Gary so much when he's gone all day. That's it for now. I'll check in sometime tomorrow (Sunday), and will let you know what we're up to. Bye!

Though Monica‘s sixth studio album won overwhelmingly positive feedback in the Booth when it dropped back in March, we haven’t heard a peep from the veteran soul songstress since. What better way then for her to remind us that she hasn’t gone anywhere than with an official remix of current single (and Booth-approved standout cut) Here I Am? Newly-added for this version of the Ester Dean-penned joint, Trey Songz steps into the role of the fella who fulfills the singer’s needs when her main man is off at the club. After lacing Polow Da Don‘s reverb-drenched instrumental with a little soulful call-and-response and some glittering harmonies, the collaborators crescendo to a climax featuring some of the most dazzling vocal pyrotechnics I’ve heard in… well, I can’t think of anything to compare it to right off the top, so it must have been a while. Have Monica and Trey succeeded in breathing new life into this cut? If you think so, you can hear more on the headliner’s Still Standing LP, as well as on Songz’ recently-released junior full-length, Passion, Pain & Pleasure.

Lucia Cats (sweet saffron buns)
Even though Santa Lucia Day is 13 December, I made Lucia cats so we could have them for breakfast on Christmas morning.
I now know that I should have placed them further apart on the pan so they wouldn't grow together. Luckily, they taste just as good!!
Merry Christmas to all!

Back in the day, it was simple. Actresses were actresses, musicians were musicians and authors were authors. Now it seems that any self-respecting star has to diversify to build his or her brand. Take Hilary Duff: she broke through with the Disney teen show Lizzie McGuire and went on to star in the smash-hit drama Gossip Girl. Clearly, that wasn't enough. She's designed clothing lines for the likes of DKNY and put her name to perfume collections for Elizabeth Arden. Then there's her charity and animal rights work, and platinum-selling albums of, if we're being honest, pretty generic rock and dance-pop. And last week, she announced details of the first in a series of novels she's written, to be published later this year. You see, it appears that Duff - just 22 years old, remember - is a writer, too. Is there no end to her talents?
Thankfully, Duff isn't setting her artistic crosshairs upon highbrow literary fiction. Instead, the first novel in the series is firmly and cleverly aimed at the "young adult" market she knows inside out. Elixir, though, does sound rather fun: the heroine is a young photojournalist called Clea Raymond who travels the globe to unravel an ancient mystery and in so doing hopes to discover the secret of her father's disappearance. Simon & Schuster's website excitably says it will combine "the overpowering allure of a dangerous love triangle with thrilling international adventure". Bet that's exactly what it'll do.
Of course, it's easy to be cynical about such endeavours. And that's because, overwhelmingly, celebrities do not make good authors. Perhaps they know this themselves: why else would the likes of Madonna, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jay Leno retreat to what they probably (and incorrectly, incidentally) believe is the slightly easier world of the children's book? Probably because they've seen the efforts of peers who have taken the plunge with fiction for grown-ups. The socialite Nicole Richie's The Truth About Diamonds was such a thinly veiled autobiography - it's about the trials and tribulations of a woman, Chloe, adopted by a music superstar as a young child - that the publishers may as well have scrubbed out the words "a novel" from the cover.
The reality television star Lauren Conrad - of Laguna Beach and The Hills fame - has been slightly more successful: her latest book, Sweet Little Lies, topped The New York Times best-seller list recently. But again, it's about the star of a reality television show. Isn't the point of reality television that it's, you know, real? These "authors" have British counterparts too: the model Katie Price - or Jordan to most - might be regularly derided, but at least she can say she is a successful novelist. Angel (about, unsurprisingly, a young woman who becomes a model) memorably sold more than the entire 2007 Booker shortlist put together, and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards. Problem is, she hasn't been able to escape the rumours that the ghostwriter Rebecca Farnworth - name-checked on the copyright page - actually penned the thing. Kerry Katona, the troubled former member of the British pop act Atomic Kitten, went a step further. She openly admitted she didn't write her novels.
At least Katona had some input on ideas and storyline. Naomi Campbell's debut 1994 novel, set in the fashion industry, was hugely anticipated, but it was revealed years later that the supermodel's sole involvement in Swan was the use of her name. So, because we have no reason to believe that Duff didn't write Elixir, and because it's not about the life of a fictional teenage star, at least herbook appears to be trying to achieve something slightly different. And maybe, if you don't take it seriously, celebrity fiction is not such a signifier of all that's wrong in publishing after all. Sharon Osbourne's new novel, Revenge, has received a surprising amount of positive reviews. It's fun, fluffy and soap opera in style, but enjoyable, too - and it'll probably sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Like a major record label that can have both Coldplay and Hot Chip on its roster, the argument is that the big-selling act generates the money that publishers can then plough into more interesting, cutting-edge work.
Of course, all of this is monumentally irritating for struggling authors who happen not to have been in a soap, or a reality television show, or a teenage drama, and therefore will probably not get published. Still, there's always a backup for them. They can always become ghostwriters for the stars.

From Green Right Now Reports
GM announced today that its new lineup of heavy-duty diesel pickups will run on B20 biodiesel, which is a blend of 20-percent biodiesel and 80-percent conventional diesel that produces lower carbon dioxide emissions.
The announcement was made at the National Biodiesel Conference in Grapevine, Texas.
GM said its new Duramax 6.6L turbo diesel engine has been substantially revised to include B20 capability, as well as meet strict new emissions standards effective this year. The Duramax will power the redesigned 2011 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups, as well as the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans. Chevrolet plans to unveil the 2011 Silverado heavy-duty trucks at the Chicago Auto Show on Feb. 10.
“B20 capability in our new heavy-duty trucks is the latest addition to a growing number of alternate fuel options offered by General Motors,” Mike Robinson, GM’s vice president of Environment, Energy and Safety Policy, said in a statement. “We are seeking different paths to fuel solutions in order to maximize efficiency, reduce emissions and minimize the dependence on petroleum.”
GM says it has with more than 4 million FlexFuel vehicles on the road today capable of running on E85 ethanol. Like ethanol, biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel made primarily of plant matter – mostly soybean oil.
Estimates by National Biodiesel Board indicate about 700 million gallons of the fuel were produced in 2008 – up from about 500,000 gallons in 1999. Market fluctuations caused production to decrease in 2009, but it is expected to rise with more mandates and the availability of approved vehicles, such as the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra heavy-duty trucks.
To make the Duramax 6.6L and its fuel system compatible with B20, GM said it upgraded some seals and gasket materials to withstand the ester content of biodiesel and included an upgraded fuel filter that includes a coalescing element. It improves the separation of water that may be present in the fuel, because biodiesel can attract and absorb water. Also, additional heating of the fuel circuit was added to reduce the chance of fuel gelling or waxing that could plug filters.
The Duramax 6.6L’s diesel particulate regeneration system features a downstream injector that supplies fuel for the regeneration process. This greatly reduces potential oil dilution, important with using biodiesel. Downstream injection saves fuel and works better with B20 than in-cylinder post injection.

Battle of Britain Day 65. Cloudy weather restricts flying to a minimum. Only German reconnaissance flights take place during the day and 50 bombers attack London overnight (compared to about 300 on previous nights). 2 German bombers are shot down and Wing Commander J.S. Dewar (airfield commander at Exeter) is lost on a pleasure flight to Tangmere in his Hurricane. A delayed action high-explosive bomb hits St. Paul’s Cathedral but does not explode and is buried 30 feet into the ground. Royal Engineers Lieutenant R. Davies and Sapper J. Wylie defuse the bomb and are awarded the George Cross, becoming the first military personnel to receive this medal for “bravery not in the face of the enemy”. St. Paul’s Cathedral will become a symbol of London’s resilience during the Blitz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Paul%27s_Cathedral#Post-Wren_history
Vichy French cruisers depart Casablanca at 4 AM, leaving behind their destroyer escorts. 3 British destroyers join HMS Renown and 3 other destroyers off Casablanca, searching for the French cruisers which are now well on their way South, steaming for Dakar at full speed.
North Africa. Italian 10th Army continues to make slow progress towards the Libyan border with Egypt to begin their invasion. British light covering forces fall back slowly fighting delaying actions.
In the Indian Ocean 330 miles East of Madagascar, German armed merchant cruiser Pinguin stops British steamer Benavon with a shot across the bows. Benavon tries to escape and returns fire with her 4 inch gun but the inexperienced crew does not fit the shells with fuse caps (1 shell hits Pinguin, lodging next to the magazine containing 300 high-explosive mines; a lethal hit if it had exploded). Pinguin shells Benavon into submission (24 killed, 25 crew taken prisoner).

|The geotechnical conditions at Coghlan Road, Outer Harbor, SA comprise dredged fill over estuarine clays, sands and peat of the St. Kilda Formation. All these soil layers are soft, saturated, and have the property of undergoing large settlements under load. The development of the site into a large export facility involving heavy container handling and storage for the Hardy Wine Company therefore required special earthworks procedures. This paper outlines the nature of the soil conditions at the site, the method of ground treatment used to preconsolidate the soft soils, and the results of settlement readings extending over time periods up to 9 months. The results of predictions of the settlement over a 15-year time period are outlined. Pavement configurations for the heavy container and truck areas are described. The paper describes how the extent of ground improvement was shown to be sufficient to permit the construction of pavements for heavy container traffic and a slab-on-ground and shallow spread footings for the 20,000 m2 warehouse structure.

The Hymn Makers: A Journey through Time and Faith
Have you ever found yourself humming a tune that resonates deep within your soul? Maybe it's a hymn you learned as a child or one that brings comfort in times of trouble. The power of hymns to connect with our emotions and express our faith is truly remarkable. And there is one group that has dedicated themselves to preserving and celebrating the rich history of hymnody - The Hymn Makers.
The Hymn Makers are a collective of musicians, composers, and singers who have come together to bring the timeless beauty of hymns to a new generation. Their mission is to honor the hymn writers of the past while also creating new hymns that speak to the hearts of today's believers.
One of the most notable albums by The Hymn Makers is "Mr. Pipes and the British Hymn Makers." This album, inspired by the popular book series of the same name, takes listeners on a journey through the history of British hymnody. With songs like "Be Thou My Vision" and "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah," the album showcases the incredible diversity and depth of hymns from across the ages.
But The Hymn Makers don't stop at just one album. They have released countless others, each exploring a different aspect of hymnody. From collections of hymns for worship services to albums dedicated to specific hymn writers or themes, The Hymn Makers have created a vast library of music that is both inspiring and uplifting.
One of their most popular albums is "Maker in Whom We Live," which highlights the hymns of Charles Wesley. Wesley, a prolific hymn writer and co-founder of the Methodist movement, penned over 6,000 hymns during his lifetime. The Hymn Makers pay tribute to his legacy with beautiful renditions of songs like "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing" and "And Can It Be."
The Hymn Makers have received numerous awards and recognition for their contributions to the world of hymnody. In 2018, they were honored with the Hymn Society's prestigious Hymnody Award, which recognizes individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the field of hymnology. This award is a testament to their dedication and passion for preserving and promoting the power of hymns.
In addition to their albums, The Hymn Makers are also known for their live performances and events. They have toured extensively, bringing their music to churches, conferences, and festivals around the world. Their concerts are often a blend of traditional hymns and modern worship songs, creating a unique and uplifting worship experience for all who attend.
One of their most memorable events was their performance at the National Hymn Sing, an annual gathering of hymn enthusiasts from all walks of life. Thousands of people gathered in a massive stadium, joining their voices together to sing hymns old and new. The Hymn Makers led the crowd in a grand finale that left everyone feeling inspired and connected.
As The Hymn Makers continue their journey through time and faith, they are constantly seeking new ways to engage with their audience. They have embraced technology, releasing their music on streaming platforms and creating interactive online experiences for fans. They also collaborate with other artists and musicians, bridging the gap between traditional hymnody and contemporary worship.
In a world that is constantly changing, The Hymn Makers provide a sense of stability and connection to our spiritual roots. Their music reminds us of the timeless truths found in hymns and invites us to join in the chorus of believers throughout history. Whether you grew up singing hymns or are discovering them for the first time, The Hymn Makers have something to offer everyone.
So, the next time you find yourself humming a hymn, take a moment to reflect on the incredible legacy of The Hymn Makers. From their albums and live performances to their dedication to preserving the power of hymns, they are truly a force to be reckoned with in the world of music and faith. Join them on their journey and let the hymns of old inspire and uplift your spirit.

When the adolescent male suddenly develops noticeable breast tissue under each nipple he becomes worried, embarrassed and uncomfortable. This condition is called gynecomastia. This is the development of mammary (breast) tissue in males. In otherwise healthy boys, it is seen commonly in two age groups: during the newborn period and during mid-puberty.
In newborns, breast development is the result of circulating maternal hormones, and most male newborns are affected. In mid-puberty, approximately two-thirds of boys develop varying amounts of breast tissue, either in one or both breasts, at the same or at different times. There may or may not be some breast tenderness. This breast development results from the normal hormonal changes seen during puberty.
Emotionally, the adolescent is very sensitive to this physical finding. Parents or siblings should never joke about the matter. School mates are sometimes less thoughtful and tease the youth about "breast development". The parents should reassure him that it is a transient phenomenon.
Usually, this condition regresses within a few months, rarely taking longer than 24 months.
Researchers have noted that in these boys the value for various male and female hormone tests are within the normal range, but there is a decreased ratio of male hormone (testosterone) to the female hormone (estradiol). The male hormones are normal and this transient tissue is present until all the hormones are produced in the usual proportions. This tells the worried boys that their "maleness" is not threatened, and they can better tolerate the teasing they must endure.
When gynecomastia occurs in otherwise healthy boys, reassurance and education are the mainstays of treatment. There is no need for medication in this temporary condition. Less commonly, there is a condition called familial gynecomastia, where the breast development fails to regress. This condition runs in families, and the exact genetic defect is unknown.
Gynecomastia can also occur through the ingestion or topical application of the female hormone, estrogen. Usually this is the result of accidental poisoning and is seen in young children. Additionally, long-term use of anabolic steroids, as seen during body-building, can lead to gynecomastia.
In otherwise healthy boys, breast development during puberty is a harmless and temporary condition. If more information is needed your son's doctor will be able to provide him with proper education, so that he has a better understanding of his present condition.

I need an application that will allow the playback of footage from the InstaCam 360 pro camera ([login to view URL]). The goal of the application is to be able to playback the footage like google streetview (go forward, back, look up, down, left right by dragging mouse).
I need to be able to split the screen, so I will have the video on the left side and then a map on the right side.
Using the mouse, I can place objects on the map. Objects will basically be a point on the object, and I can use a dropdown to select the kind of object.
This will save the latitude and longitude of the point.
I should be able to place the video forward at different speeds and place items on the map while it plays. The video should pause while I select the detail from the dropdown, and resume once saved.

Walsall residents are being asked to help keep our borough clean and to play their part in reporting litter, especially in local hotspots.
As national COVID-19 restrictions are being gradually lifted and more people are out and about visiting town centres shops and open spaces. The council is reminding people that littering will not be tolerated in the borough; not only is it unsightly, it can also be unsafe and is detrimental to the environment. Amongst the Council’s concerns is the number of discarded nitrous oxide gas canisters that are being found in public spaces along with used face masks.
Councillor Oliver Butler, portfolio holder for Clean and Green said, “With more people out and about as restrictions are being lifted, it is important to remind residents to please put their litter in a bin or take it home with them to dispose of or recycle.”
“Our clean-up crews are not only picking up litter, they are also collecting used nitrous oxide canisters in the usual hotspots such as Barr Beacon and Aldridge Airport.”
“We are particularly concerned about the gas canisters due to the harm inhalation of nitrous oxide can cause to people’s health.”
“We all have a part to play in keeping our borough clean and tidy and have a responsibility to report and issues that we come across to protect our community and our environment in order to make Walsall a cleaner and greener place.”
Residents can report litter and find out more about street cleansing and litter picking on the council website.
Residents can report disposed of canisters on the website online at www.walsall.gov.uk and can share information about those illegally selling nitrous oxide with the police.
Walsall Community Litter Watch is run by volunteers for anyone who wants to proactively help. You can also join the teams Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/WalsallCommunityLitterWatch
Community groups, businesses and schools interested in helping Walsall move towards becoming litter free can contact the Volunteer Coordinators on 01922 653344, email email@example.com or visit https://go.walsall.gov.uk/bins/walsall_community_litter_watch
Notes to editor
- Clean and Green, Walsall Council can be contacted on 01922 653344 or by email firstname.lastname@example.org
- For more information about the effects of nitrous oxide see: https://www.drugwise.org.uk/nitrous-oxide/

A City Councilman's View of the DWP
The Price of Power, about the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, is perhaps the most intense story I've worked on in my 22 years at KCET. Delving into the DWP is like entering a maze of numbers. Layer onto that the emotions sparked by the city budget crisis, layoffs for thousands of workers, raises for the DWP union and rate hikes for customers.
I thought you'd like to see how one city council person defended his vote in favor of the DWP raise in December. Here's an excerpt from my interview with Bill Rosendahl. His reasons were very much like those of his colleagues.
You might also be interested in a short interview I did with Brian D'Arcy, head of the powerful union that represents most of the workers at the DWP.

We Like This: April
Our monthly slot which shows what we’ve had our eye on in the Tangerine Content Studio.
What we’ve been reading
Online publishing has become a bit more interesting and is showing glimpses of the multisensory beast we always knew it could be. The rise in purely video based content is still too crude for most of us but this excellent Bloomberg article on Snapchat (among other things) had the perfect blend of storytelling, insight and fun to keep us locked in for 10 minutes.
What we’ve been watching
Like everyone else, we are inundated with ‘content’. In the Content Team we ignore most of it, naturally, and engage with and enjoy a percentage of it too. We also get quite good at spotting stuff that makes us think ‘hmmm, wish we’d done that’. That isn’t necessarily the mega budget stuff, but the smaller, considered bits and bobs that shine like diamonds in the rough. This little video from Visit Scotland is on Twitter (there’s a bigger library on the YouTube channel) but it is beautifully shot and edited, has tons of humility and oozes provenance. The campaign was devised by Edinburgh agency The Union.
What we’ve been looking at
Euro 2016 is round the corner and there is lots of excitement about the release of the new football kits. The England mish-mash has provoked a love/hate reaction, while generally, as is the trend, minimal designs from brands more interested in driving their own identity than that of the nations they represent, has meant a classy but vanilla collection of kits. Commendable nods to Adidas’ post-modern Spain away effort, and the acid waves of Nike’s change kit for Turkey, but it is the German brand’s second shirt for the popular Belgium squad that is the pick of the bunch in France this summer. It was launched a while ago too, but wow, perfect.
What we’ve been clicking
A one-day (well, one night) arts and culture festival is coming to our hometown of Manchester on the 12th May. The Manchester After Hours event is a creative collaboration between a broad range of venues, promoters and artists in the city and they have a lovely little website to match. A simple and effective use of a narrow colour palette and typefaces mixed with a really clean build means it works well on desktop and phone. See you there!
What we wish we’d done
Developers and creatives are busy pushing the boundaries with VR at the moment, and we’re always on the lookout for work that reminds us that digital can be fun too. Well, this game from the excellent Always and Forever Studio in New York is a lot of fun. A neon musical world where hot dogs are drums and gummy bears are xylophones. It’s hard to explain so watch this video and keep an eye out at your local arcade!

text: There are some good tutorials on growweedeasy , maybe nothing exactly like what I do but its just a method I use. Any training method with work well. from mainlining to LST, I find mainlining a bit slower and LST been the quickest method of getting a bush going. The main thing for me is to take away the Apical dominance. Once you have done that then you have all sorts of options. I take supper cropping a bit further as branches do try to straighten out, hence why I tie a cane to the branch once its horizontal and also tie it to its opposite sister branch. That keeps them flat allowing the nodes to start growing vertical again and spreads the canopy wider but not so deep. The results are kind of like a Scrog but without the net and not as much time Another great option as I touched upon would be to start LSTing, get yourself maybe 15 colas and open them up either with a support net or stakes. Your lighting will penetrate the whole thing and your RWDC will ensure pretty quick growth. I would probably try both methods at the same time on different plants, see how you like each. http://www.growweedeasy.com/how-to-super-crop-marijuana http://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst http://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets You can mix and match any training method you like, there probably isn't a "best" option, just what suits the grower and his situation, time scale, lighting ect.

Sky Patterson is active/lives in Texas. Sky Patterson is known for postmodern figurative, painting of swimmers.
Biography Sky Patterson
Swimming is one of those primal physicalities that is a ripe metaphor for life: struggling against the tide, staying afloat, going with the flow, fighting the current, jumping into the deep end. It is also the rich domain for Sky Patterson's art, which is full of "heroic bodies and humbling gestures."
"I like that dichotomy," says the 34-year-old artist, who rarely places his faceless figures actually in the water. "Swimming, like life, is a solitary act. Life, like water, is something you have to move through. Water is life-giving, but it can also take you under."
Patterson, who was a competitive swimmer at Churchill High School in the mid-'90s but hesitates to call his work autobiographical, has been returning to his Swim

Nothing new. Only make ReadCube Papers as a standalone plugin.
Thanks for the work, a very useful plugin
Update to v0.8.0
Great Plugin and great job! I especialy love the blockquote info that I could add since I use Joplin to store quotations sometime and adding more info in a more structured way is useful. Thanks.
I'm using the Admonitions plugin to render admonitions.
The syntax in use is:
!!! info My Admonition Title So there is a space between the opening !!! and the admonition type. !!!
With the space, the admonition does not show in the markdown editor.
When I delete the space, the admonition shows ideally in the markdown editor using your plugin. However, the rendered version then cuts off the first letter of the title.
Instead of "My Admonition Title" in the example, it renders as "y Admonition Title"
Is it possible to have your enhancement recognize the syntax
!!! info as well as
Thanks for a very worthwhile plugin
I will enhance it to recognize the whitespace in next release.
For now, you can just add one more whitespace between
Admonition Title to avoid the missing character
I noticed here that the
quote type admonition does not pick up styling in the markdown editor.
Your formatting makes the markdown notes so much more readable, and pleasant, for anyone who uses admonitions liberally.
Thanks for the feedback. The bugs should be fixed in v0.8.1
@SeptemberHX, All good here with v0.8.1.
Issues: of not showing with syntax where space follows
!!!, and missing
quote admonition now both solved.
Hi, thanks for a feature packed plugin. I seem to have issues with admonition displaying in markdown but not displaying in the rendered view using Windows Portable v2.8.8.
I use 2 other plugins (not Rich Markdown) which I temporarily disabled but the issue persists.
I do use custom CSS to display the sliding [toc] on the right hand edge (ie not a plugin). I opened a new instance of Joplin Portable which generated a fresh profile with no custom CSS & no other plugins but the issue persists.
Thanks for your help
Hi Zimmer, to see admonitions in the rendered view, install the
Admonition markdown extension.
With the Enhancement plugin and the Admonition extension plugins both installed, you'll have both the markdown editor and the rendered view covered.
Notes on Admonition markdown extension here
Thank you, I read through the documentation but didn't realize an additional plugin was needed. All good now, thanks for the info.
Thanks for the feedback. I will update the document about the Admonition markdown extension.
V0.9.0 is released.
All four enhancements are appreciated, particularly the Search and Replace; very well implemented!
V1.0.0 is released.
Thank you for all these tools that greatly improve the use of the markdown editor.
Just out of curiosity, what theme are you using all this with?
All the themes come from the macOS-theme plugin. You can change it from settings -> macOS theme -> markdown editor light/dark.
The theme with blue font color is
base16-light. I cannot remember the name of theme with red font color, but you can try every theme to find your favorite
V1.1.1 is published

Some bands do one song and one video to go with it. Others say, "To hell with integers, one is the lonliest number." That's why Guns N' Roses released two albums at once, and it's also why local band Gayze crammed two songs into one new video.
Well, that or director Tyler T. Williams' tale of murder most foul was too long for a single song.
Either way, check out the Gayze video for "Done To My Love" and "East Coast Dying" below.
