Prior to the start of World War II, Hellmuth Walter had started experimenting with the use of hydrogen peroxide as a fuel for various engines. The fuel was particularly useful as a rocket fuel, as it would "ignite" (although it was actually just decomposing) simply by being passed through a metal catalyst. That meant that one could build an engine with nothing more than a pump and a tube with a wire mesh in it.
However the engine had very real problems being scaled up to any useful size. Although a number of missiles and RATO systems would eventually be built using this engine design, any aircraft based on it would have to be very light weight. At the same time the fuel consumption of the engine was such that the plane would also require a huge internal volume for the tankage. This appeared to be a Catch 22.
Enter Alexander Lippisch. Lippisch had been working for a number of years on tail-less glider designs. Without a tail the gliders were smaller and lighter than their more conventional counterparts, although they required to the wing to be "bent back" in order to be stable. Although Lippisch had not invented the design with rocket power in mind, a tail-less aircraft could be built with much larger internal volume and still have the same drag as a smaller conventional design. Combining the Walter rocket with a larger Lippisch glider seemed to offer the potential to create a powerful short range rocket interceptor.
Works started under the aegis of the DFS (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug—the German institute for sailplane flight). They produced a design using an early cold engine under the name DFS 194. When work had progressed to the point that it was likely to reach production, the effort was moved to Messerschmitt and became the Me 163. Secrecy was such that the number, 163, was actually that of an earlier project to produce a small two-passenger light plane, as it was thought that intelligence services would conclude any reference to the number would be for that earlier design.
The first Me 163A models were essentially cleaned up DFS planes, and started production in 1941. At this point in time the engine was nowhere near ready. A small number of flights took place as gliders to test airworthiness, and then powered flights started. The flights could not be considered wildly successful, the engines tended to explode rather easily and the aircraft was difficult to land. Nevertheless, between the mishaps the performance was clearly untouchable and plans were made to put Me 163 squadrons all over Germany in 25 mile (40 km) rings.
Five prototype Me 163As were built, followed by eight production examples designated Me 163A-0.
Meanwhile Walter had started work on a newer hot engine which added a fuel of hydrazine hydrate and methanol, designated C-Stoff, that burned with the oxygen-rich exhaust for added thrust. This resulted in the slightly modified Me 163B of late 1941. Once again the engine would prove to be nowhere near ready for use, and it would be another two years before the B models would be ready for widespread testing.
As good as the performance was, it was also clear that the 163 was a rather impractical aircraft. Based on a glider, the plane landed on a small skid running down the centerline of the plane. This might work for a slow plane, but the 163 was nothing of the sort. Landings were often very hard with the pilots injuring their backs, and minor upsets on landing could cause the plane to tip over and clip a wingtip and go spinning down the field. Even if the pilot did manage to land the plane safely, it was immobile on the field until it could be towed away. Another major concern was the short flight time. With only 8 minutes of powered flight, the plane truly was an interceptor and nothing more.
Nevertheless the plane was astonishing in flight. After take-off from a dolly it would be traveling over 200 mph (300 km/h) at the end of the runway, at which point it would pull up into an 80 degree climb all the way to the bombers' altitude. It could go even higher if need be, reaching 40,000 ft (12,000 m) in an unheard-of three minutes. Once there it would level off and quickly accelerate to speeds around 550 mph (880 km/h) or faster, which no Allied plane could hope to match.
Two prototypes were followed by thirty Me 163B-0 aircraft armed with two MG 151/20 cannons and some four hundred Me 163B-1s armed with two MK 108 cannons, but which were otherwise similar to the B-0. Occasional references to B-1a or Ba-1 subtypes are found in the literature on the aircraft, but the meanings of these designations is now unclear.
The 163S was an unpowered trainer version of the 163B. A second cockpit was added for an instructor in the space normally taken up by one of the fuel tanks.
The Me 163C was designed to overcome the range limitations of the earlier model. It featured a new, stretched fuselage and a new Walter engine that had two combustion chambers, one for take-off and climb, and a less powerful (and therefore less fuel-hungry) "cruise" chamber. Only three Me 163Cs seem to have been built, and only one flight tested, probably only as a glider.
The Me 163D was larger again than the 163C. It was built by inserting new sections into an Me 163B fuselage, stretching it to accommodate larger fuel tanks. It also featured a tricycle undercarriage. Only one was built, and its development was continued as the Messerschmitt Me 263 (redesignated Junkers Ju 248 when that firm took over the project).
Operations first started in 1944. As expected the plane was simply untouchable and for a time the Allied fighters were at a complete loss as what to do about it. In fact the plane often climbed to the bombers faster than the opposing fighters could dive in an attempt to intercept it. But that high speed was to prove a problem in that the builders were never able to make a truly effective weapon for the plane, one that could fire fast enough to allow it to kill a bomber before running right past it.
It wasn't long before the Allied pilots noted the extremely short lifetime of the powered flight. They simply waited it out, and as soon as the engine went off they would hunt them down. They also quickly identified the fields the planes operated from, and started strafing them after the Me 163s landed. More of the planes were being lost than pilots could be trained on them, and it was clear that the original plan for a huge network of Me 163 bases was never going to happen.
Attempts were made to address these issues, culminating eventually in the Me 263. This included a new version of the engine with a smaller "cruise" chamber which was tuned to be most efficient at lower power. The new engine allowed the plane to have 12 minutes of powered flight, roughly doubling the time at combat altitudes. It also included tricycle landing gear for better takeoff and landing, a "bubble" canopy for better visibility, a pressurized cockpit and a host of other improvements. However, by the time the design was ready to go into production, after many delays, the plant it was to be made at was overrun by Soviet forces. While it did not reach operational status, the work was briefly continued by Russia by the Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) design bureau.
In any operational sense the Komet was a failure. More were lost to landing accidents than they ever accounted for in bomber kills, which stand at only 16. But at the same time the Komet was a successful design in pointing the way to the future. It was one more piece of strong evidence that the day of the propeller fighter was over, and it also spawned improved weapons like the Bachem Ba 349 Natter and Convair XF-92. Ultimately, the point defence role that the Me 163 played would be taken over by the surface-to-air missile (SAM).

The Charles Schwab Corporation, a leading provider of financial services, is expanding its operations, bringing about 1,200 jobs to Westlake’s growing daytime population. A new corporate campus is coming to Westlake that will anchor a proposed mixed-use development project on about 70 acres of land.
Capital investment for the new corporate campus is projected to be about $100 million and will include 500,000 square feet of commercial office space. Governor Greg Abbott announced in a press statement that Schwab has been offered a $6 million Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant for the project, which will create the largest number of new jobs by a TEF grant recipient since the beginning of Governor Abbott’s administration. Additional incentives from the Town of Westlake are pending approval and will be up for consideration on an upcoming council agenda.
Charles Schwab’s decision to expand its operations in North Texas is yet another testament to the Lone Star State’s promising economic climate, Governor Abbot said. “By expanding their facilities, pouring millions into the Texas economy and creating more than a thousand new jobs, Charles Schwab is investing in the North Texas community and bringing more opportunities for our world-class workforce.”
Town Manager Tom Brymer said the decision by the Charles Schwab Corporation to locate in Westlake is one that will further expand Westlake’s reputation as the location of the financial industry cluster in the DFW metroplex. “They are a gold star company of the highest reputation,” Brymer said. “The Town welcomes them to Westlake and is pleased they have chosen Westlake as home for their next regional headquarters.”
Schwab Executive Vice President Dennis Howard said the opportunity to expand in Texas is exciting. “We’ll be ramping up our recruiting efforts from among the great wealth of employee talent in and around Westlake.”

In July 0f 2020, publisher Devolver Digital unveiled Shadow Warrior 3, the latest in developer Flying Wild Hog’s first-person shooter reboot series. Initially, both companies intended to release the game sometime during 2021, but they chose to wait until early 2022 so they could polish the game further. Up to this point, neither company mentioned a specific release date. But thanks to recent listings on the Microsoft and PlayStation stores, we now finally know when the game will apparently drop. According to these listings, Shadow Warrior 3 will get a release on March 1 — a mere six weeks from now.
Both listings state that “Shadow Warrior 3 launches the offbeat first-person shooter series to the next level with a seamless blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat, and a spectacular free-running movement system.” This new installment sees series protagonist Lo Wang returning to “embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon” that he and his unlikely sidekick Orochi Zilla “unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison.” Lo Wang will have to utilize his “punishing mix of blades and bullets” and “traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again.”
Shadow Warrior 3‘s gameplay has you executing special abilities. Wang can use “air dashes, wall running, double jumps, and the fancy new grappling hook” as well as his trademark katana. Additionally, players can perform “spectacular finishing moves to claim a piece of [their] conquered foe and unleash its powers back on the horde in a burst of unstoppable fury and powerful magic.”
The PlayStation and Microsoft listings for Shadow Warrior 3 include a pre-order bundle that grants players the first and second Shadow Warrior installments as well as a limited edition skin for the third game upon its release. The Steam page does not yet have information regarding the release date or the pre-order bundle, but it will probably include that information soon.

Geotech Classic Cordless
The acoustic data transmission system uses sound waves to transfer data from the probe to the surface. The sound waves travel through the steel in the rods and are received by a microphone, which is also used for pushing the rods into the ground.
The Geotech electric conductivity channel adapter is mounted on 10 or 15 cm2 CPT(U) probes. The adapter consists of an array of four ring electrodes (Wenner configuration, i.e. with equal spacing between the electrodes) and a sound transmitter. The diameter is 44 mm.
The CPT(U) probe with the electric conductivity adapter is used with the traditional Geotech cordless data transmission. The probe is pressed into the ground in the same way as other Geotech CPT probes and readings are made every second.
The Geotech seismic CPT acquisition is done with a seismic channel adapter, equipped with one, two or three accelero-meters (uni-, bi- or triaxial SCPT cones), mounted on any of the Geotech CPT(U) probes. Uniaxial SCPT soundings are carried out to determine risks of liquefaction, triaxial SCPT for the evaluation of the elastic constants (Shear modulus G0, Elasticity modulus E, Bulk modulus, Poisson\'s ratio ĂÂ˝, LamĂŠ\'s constant ĂÂť), attenuation analysis.
CPT-CAD module of CPT-pro package allows to generate geotechnical cross sections and maps.
Mechanical CPT system with Begemann cone and direct electronic registration is already released.

Don’t Say It’ll Get Easier…
Reflecting back on the craziness that was the newborn stage, there was a common theme of reassurance that was kindly given for life with baby twins:
‘Don’t worry, it will get easier after 3 months…’
Ah. Ok. What’s three months of sleep deprivation, demand feeding and uncontrollable synchronized crying? I can do this. I’ll just rub coffee into my gums, fuel up on Haribos and treat myself to the odd occasion of fizz to get by. Let the newborn duration begin.
Now, let me tell you, twin mama or no twin mama, having a brand spanking new baby thrusted into your calm and organised life is quite the challenge. In fact, it’s quite a trauma. Long gone are the sleep-ins until 10am and partying until the early hours of the morning. Hello to endless crying (that you have no idea how to remedy), constant round-the-clock feeding (if you haven’t already, sign up for Netflix as you’re going to need something to save your sanity at 3am) and literally so little sleep you end up putting the milk carton into the oven and the kitchen rolls in the freezer. And what I don’t think I can get across through these little words on the screen is the feeling of relentlessness throughout this time. Once the adrenaline disappears and your hormones drop, it’s just you, your babies and survival.
It. Is. Tough.
But, in the midst of delirious deja vu (feed feed, change change, cuddle cuddle, sleep sleep…#twinlife) I soldiered on. Only a couple more months and then it’ll be over. I’ll find it easier after three months. Everyone said so. And they’re mamas themselves so it must be true. Right?
Well actually..not quite.
It was the 26th of December, the day before the twins were due to turn 12 weeks. The end was in sight. It was so close I could almost taste the ‘more than two and a half hours of sleep at a time’ and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed by the never ending laundry pile and smelly nappy changes. Beatrice unfortunately had to spend Christmas night in hospital. Then of course, Francis got it a few days later and also had a trip to A&E. So inevitably this was going to impact on this ‘3 month miracle’ where life became a doddle. So, I must say I wasn’t totally surprised when 12 weeks arrived life was…exactly the same. 3 hourly feeds around the clock, still anxious about going out on my own with two tiny babies, exhausted beyond belief. So I thought, ok…perhaps let’s give it until they are actually 3 months, rather than going by weeks.
So, I went to bed on the 3rd January, more excited than if it was Christmas Eve, waiting for this newborn haze that I was surviving in to disappear. I couldn’t wait to have more sleep, feel like I had more of an idea about what I was doing and just all-round getting my life back on track.
But guess what? That wish was still a pipe dream.
Now that I am on the other side of the ‘survival phase’, I have come to realise a few things. Firstly, everyone’s perception of ‘it will get easier’ is different. What is ‘it’ that you expect to get easier? Is it your confidence in taking your babies out? Stretching the night feeds so that you only have to get up once, rather than 5 time in the night? Being able to shower before 3pm? It would be completely unrealistic to expect all of these things to fix themselves after this ‘miracle three months’. Managing your expectations will help.
The second thing I have realised is the time frame. The echo of 3 months…3 months…as if you’re running a marathon and once you get to month 3 you pass the finish line…is also, not realistic. My naivety got the better of me and I honestly thought that life would (almost…) get back to how it was pre-babies after those gruelling 12 weeks. Babies are so different, how could we expect them all to suddenly fall into this perfect box after a particular amount of time? Some babies sleep through the night very early on, others take months…even years (sorry mamas…) but all find their way in their own time.
The third thing to remember is that our babies are not robots. Day-to-day, week-to-week will be different depending on a million and one things: they’re teething… it’s too hot… they’re overtired… it’s too cold… they’re going through a growth spurt… it’s trapped wind… etc etc etc. If you’ve followed us for a while on our Foxfairy Twins Instagram page you might remember a few months ago Pete and I were going to celebrate our 14 year anniversary with a lavish home-cooked meal once the babies had gone to bed. It should have been so easy. Put babies to bed at 6.30pm, babies go to sleep, we have our evening to enjoy each other’s company. Oh how naïve we were. We had the most horrific evening with them. Constant crying from 6pm all the way to near 11pm. Needless to say, the steak was cold, the fizz was flat and we were exhausted. Of course the next night we were back to normal and they went to sleep almost straight away. Little babies will be so unpredictable. Remember that they are little humans too.
I can say, now we are at ten months, we are finally feeling like we kind of have it together…! I’d say a lot of that comes down to time and practise. If you take anything away from this post, please remember: your baby is one in a gazillion, there’s not anything as precious as they are, you are doing the best job you can and your baby will always love you. Everyone’s experience of being a parent is different, so please do not compare. Whether it takes 3 months or 3 years for motherhood to feel a little easier, this is your unique journey. Enjoy the fabulous times, ask for help when needed and remember, we’re all in this together.
Love, The Foxfairies x

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Current feed evaluation systems for poultry are based on digested components (fat, protein and nitrogen-free extracts). Digestible starch is the most important energy source in broiler chicken feeds and is part of the nitrogen-free extract fraction. Digestible starch may be predicted using an in vitro method that mimics digestive processes in the gastrointestinal tract of broiler chickens. An experiment was designed to use this method for predicting site, rate and extent of starch digestion in broiler chickens. In vitro starch digestion was studied in 12 experimental diets differing in starch sources. These diets were also used in a digestibility trial with broiler chickens. Correlations between in vitro and in vivo starch digestion were calculated. Starch digestion after 2 h incubation correlated well with in vivo starch digestion in the first half of the small intestine (r = 0.94). A 4-h incubation period resulted in a good correlation between in vitro starch digestion and ileal starch digestion (r = 0.96). In vitro starch digestion rate (h(-1)) correlated well with in vivo starch digestion rate (r = 0.87). In vitro starch digestion of individual starch sources was additive. It appeared that legume seeds and waxy corn contained two starch fractions, which were digested at different rates. We conclude that starch digestion rate in broiler chickens is well predicted by the in vitro method.

Rich Vancil, vice president of IDC’s Executive Advisory Group, blogs a sad prediction: marketing budgets will be cut roughly 15% during the first half of 2009. He also makes an interesting point on the virtues of investing consistently in marketing:
I have believed that good marketing investment policy has elements of a large inertial flywheel: let it stop spinning and the fuel to get it going again costs a lot more than if steady increments had been consistently applied. Vendors should have the wherewithal and courage to keep their investments basically steady.
— Richard Vancil
I’ve seen the same “flywheel” dynamic in influencer relations, as well. Consistently applying effort and attention requires less overall time, energy and funding — and pays greater dividends in the long run.

Current political voter query: "What do you think of Sequestration?"
Scratching-head voter answer: "Sorry. I don't own any horses."
To be frank, the next two weeks of this rapidly expanding digital media world may come down to "low-information" U.S. voting citizens. In terms of a media plan, they are the new hard-to-get demographic which will result in massive media inefficiency.
("Sequestration" is a current political term, coined a year ago as a result of the U.S. Congressional budget agreement that would automatically start up massive U.S. government defense and domestic program cuts).
You may have heard of these people: the 5% or so "undecided" voters. They are "undecided" because apparently they don't have enough information…or are too lazy to get the right information…or, worse, aren't interested in getting any information about this year's presidential political process.
All this may sound strange in a world where this year’s presidential debates have pulled in around 60-70 million TV viewers on average -- at best, a little more than one-quarter of some 295 million possible total viewers.
Obviously, some 230 million TV viewers had other things to do like watch Major League Baseball playoff games, primetime dramas, "SpongeBob," or cable shows about tattoo parlors, storage businesses or hair styling shops -- or perhaps just gaze into space. The truth is many of these viewers -- and U.S. voters -- have all the information they need about who they want as the next president.
TV marketers for decades have worried about "light" viewers. Because TV continues to be the most powerful medium, the question is where do these "light TV" consumers go?
In part, those "undecided" viewers are modern day "light TV" viewers, hard to get, hard to figure out, and most of all hard to make a "sale."
So what you have this year this is a lot of expensive TV advertising really targeted at a small number of people -- the undecided voters. For any marketer, you are talking about a lot of media "waste."
In this digital world, one would expect a lot better from a media plan. But not for this Presidential election. We can hope the next time around we'll get better political advertising buys -- saving our eyeballs and, most importantly, saving those big, fat moneyed donors the effort of finding their checkbooks.

In connection with the National Herald case, the ED is questioning Rahul Gandhi today in New Delhi. The Congress workers, on the other hand, are protesting. Yes, the Congress demonstrated at various locations today under the banner of ‘Satyagraha’ in protest of the notifications issued to Rahul-Sonia. Many significant leaders, CMs, ex CMs, and workers were detained at the same time. Priyanka Gandhi arrived at the police station later to meet them.
Priyanka Gandhi met with Congress leaders at the Tughlaq Road police station in Delhi, where she spoke with KC Venugopal and Harish Rawat. Let us remind you that, in addition to KC Venugopal, Harish Rawat, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha), Shakti Singh Gohil, and Anil Kumar (Delhi State President), the Congress had previously announced that they had been taken to the Tughlaq Road police station. Many prominent Congress officials have been detained at the Tughlaq Road police station at the same time. This list also includes Harish Rawat, KC Venugopal, and others. The performance of Congress continues here as well. The song ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram’ was sung by Congress leaders here.
Rahul is being asked eight questions. Let us inform you that Rahul Gandhi has today appeared in front of the ED. Three Enforcement Directorate personnel will ask him eight main questions. Their responses would be written down by Rahul.
What role did you play in the AJL?
What role do you play in Young India?
– Why do you have stock in your name?
– Have you ever met with your shareholders previously, and if not, why not?
Why did Congress grant Young India a loan?
Why did Congress wish to bring the National Herald back to life?
Can you provide details on the loan provided by Congress?
Can you tell me more about the AJL and National Herald properties?

The Vitality Project
In 2015, we witnessed the debilitating impact chronic stress, depression and anxiety was having on close friends and family. We decided to seek a solution for all the people suffering from similar brain health related symptoms throughout the world. We briefed a leading natural scientific laboratory specialising in the extraction of secondary plant metabolites from botanicals. Our objective was to create a highly effective natural product that addressed researched-based causes of depression, vulnerability to stress and cognitive decline.
Our unique and innovative formula known as Voluntastrols® was born. It has been available in New Zealand, Australia, North America, the UK, and Europe, positively impacting the lives of thousands of people. It is the power behind our unique Brain Health product.
We exist to help brains and minds work better and together; to provide long term vitality, agility and wellness. Our team are committed to teach people the importance of brain health. It's proven to be a key factor behind mental wellbeing, vitality and overall freedom.

"I now view a decline in my mental wellness as my body’s way of signalling that lifestyle changes are required."
39 yrs old
"As a business owner, with a large family and busy life - I was really 'spread thin' and feeling overwhelmed just getting through the daily necessities.
Stress and ongoing sleep deprivation and the sudden onset of panic attacks and anxiety episodes. WOW.
Two weeks later, feeling balanced, creative and energetic once more.
Really good quality sleep means I wake up feeling rested. No anxiety, no panic attacks.
I feel balanced, for the first time in a LONG time. I’m just happier.
58 yrs old
Started Voluntastrols because of a drop in general concentration and energy levels, attributed to menopause.
After 3 weeks, increased concentration levels, an improvement in my mood and general happiness.
After 3 months, since I was unsure if the improvement was purely due to taking Voluntastrols, I stopped taking them for a few weeks. On recommencing, once again the boost in my mood was apparent. My experiences of feeling “flat” disappeared, to be replaced with a feeling of positivity and happiness.’
‘Voluntastrols make an enormous difference’
39 yrs old
Post Head Injury
I have experienced less headaches, more clarity, reduced pain and more willingness to be active. I’m not as confused and my comprehension of what people are saying has improved significantly, I feel more comfortable being in group situations and find I’m talking more to people instead of avoiding people’
I have noticed how much more comfortable I am with who I am and am generally happy to socialise more because of that reason. I am more present with my kids and more patient with them even though they have become more demanding of my time.


Cardi B Will Feature on Lizzo's New Track "Rumors"08/09/2021
Lizzo announced on Monday that Cardi B will feature on “Rumors,” her first new single since 2019’s Cuz I Love You, slated to release this Friday, August 13.
“Good morning, motherf***er! That’s who it’s featuring y’all, period,” said Lizzo on a FaceTime call with a barely-awake Cardi in a video posted to Instagram. “It’s Harry Styles!” Lizzo joked.
“Yo what the f***? What’s going on. Why you call me so early? It’s nine o’clock in the morning,” Cardi responded as she attempted to wake herself up.
Fueling excitement surrounding the collaboration, Lizzo captioned the video: “GRAND RISING MUTHAF***ASSSSS…. GUESS WHOS HOPPIN ON ‘RUMORS’ W/ ME?!?”
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Lizzo (@lizzobeeating)
Lizzo announced her return to music last week, revealing the single’s title, cover art and release date on Instagram, with the caption, “NEW ERA B*TCH.”
“Rumors” will arrive on streaming platforms ahead of Lizzo’s packed schedule of live performances, which includes stages at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on September 4, Global Citizen Live on September 25, Firefly Music Festival on September 26, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on October 10 and Outside Lands on October 30.
Lizzo’s third studio album, Cuz I Love You, debuted in 2019 and earned several Grammy awards in the following year, including Best Pop Solo Performance (“Truth Hurts”), Best Traditional R&B Performance (“Jerome”) and Best Urban Contemporary Album (Cuz I Love You).
Meanwhile, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are teasing fans with a potential “WAP” follow-up track.

Ecology and evolution in invasive plants
Plant invasion and biological control
Invasion ecology, the study of the distribution and spread of organisms in habitats to which they are not native, has received considerable attention during the past decades. This is mainly a consequence of the increased awareness of the major threats posed by invasions to biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, agriculture and human health. Non-native species have become integral components of ecosystems world-wide, and understanding the causes and consequences of biological invasions has emerged as a fundamental challenge to ecologists and evolutionary biologists. Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the process of range expansion. We expect that evolutionary change during invasions will affect plant-antagonist interactions and thus have important implications for biological control programs targeted at invasive plants. We specifically explore how altered selection in the new range might influence the evolution of plant defense (resistance and tolerance) and life cycle and how this might affect subsequent biological control efficacy.

- Sustainable management of weeds and plant invaders (Centaurea, Ambrosia, Rumex)

A while ago I posed the question:
if God speaks to me “after the manner of [my] language”, how do I know that it is His voice that I hear, and not my own? (Recognizing the Voice of God)
I realize now this is the wrong question. It is not the voice that matters, and here’s why.
God communicates to us through the Holy Ghost. He speaks, and we “feel pure intelligence flowing into [us], it may give [us] sudden strokes of ideas” (TPJS pg 153). In other words, God does not speak in words. He speaks in ideas, and our feeble brains try to translate those ideas in to concepts and words that our finite minds can grasp. So of course the words sound like our words, because it is our brains doing the translation.
But as I’ve written recently, the voice speaking the words is irrelevant. The only pertinent information is the information itself. What matters is the idea being conveyed, not who is conveying it. It does not matter if it is our voice, or someone else’s voice, or even Satan’s voice. If the message is a true message, we ought to heed it.

Beijing Enterprises have completed the signing of Victor Anichebe on a free transfer.
Last season, Anichebe scored three goals in 18 Premier League appearances for Sunderland, but he was unable to help the Black Cats avoid relegation to the Championship.
It was revealed that the 29-year-old would depart the Stadium of Light this summer, and it has not taken long for Anichebe to sign for another team.
The Nigerian has decided to move to China with Beijing Enterprises, who currently feature in the division below the Chinese Super League.
They sit in 11th place in the standings, but they have won four of their last five matches to sit seven points from bottom.
It will be the first time that Anichebe has played club football outside of England having previously represented Everton and West Bromwich Albion.

|The Arizona State Archery Association leadership has been busy with a variety of activities:|
1. ASAA BOG 2012 election results:
a. Rick Bachman (Desert Sky Archers) and Sandra Reynolds (Paseo Vista Archery Club) were elected for
two of the three open ASAA BOG positions.
b. Mike Cullumber (Paseo Vista Archery Club) was reelected to the ASAA BOG
c. The BOG will meet promptly to select the BOG officers
2. Eric Bennett and Lynn Van Patter have retired from the ASAA BOG, the ASAA thanks them for their long term
service contributing to the ASAA community.
3. Joe Silvasi (crossbow) has volunteered to lead an ad hoc task group to focus on a dedicated association need.
Joe ran for BOG this past election.
4. The 2012 Duel in the Desert took place at Ben Avery Nov 10-11. California won the women’s, men’s and overall
competition. We thank the volunteers to help us fill almost a full team.
5. The ASAA BOG is in the process proposing a Duel Rules revisions. Example changes in format may include:
a. Equality between compound and recurve (and genders)
b. Including Master and Cadet distances
c. Utilizing contemporary World Archery formats such as sets and team rounds
d. Allowance for CA and AZ teams to have out of state archers join their teams
e. Administrative review of fees, etc.
f. The intent is to have a new format in place for 2013 or suspend Arizona participation.
6. The ASAA is in the final stages of updating the association to become “USA Archery Arizona” (501 C3 State
7. The flag ship of the ASAA, continues to be the Arizona Cup, a USAT and World Ranking Tournament.

Results of the 2012 Arizona State Archery Association
FITA Field Adult and JOAD State Championship
The 2012 FITA Field State Championship was held at Usery Mountain Regional Park on October 20 and 21. Over thirty archers competed in the two day contest with many challenging shots on rugged terrain. The first day of competition tested the archer's accuracy for shooting uphill, downhill, across dry deep desert washes at targets from unknown distances between 5 meters to 50 meters. The second day of competition the distances are marked but are longer. Targets only 20 centimeters wides that were hard enough at 5 meters were moved out to 15 meters. The archers had a sunny day on Saturday with temperatures rising throughout the morning of competition. Sunday was sunny, however, stong winds blew in and all archers had to adjust and "play the wind."

Special thanks to the following volunteers, without whose help this tournament would not have possible. It takes a lot of effort to hike up and down the rugged course three times to mark and remark the course, and to then compete. The volunteers were: Caytie Belzner, David Aprea, Mike Lee, Dennis Mowery, Brad Cress, Meghan Cress, and Charles Winder.

It is hard to find any reason not to love the 2013 5-Series of BMW. It has that pure Bimmerness aura, great looks, and feel. The best thing about the series though is the BMW M5.
The 2013 BMW M5 is powered by an aggressive 560HP 4.4L V-8 engine equipped with a twin turbo. The power is all transferred to the rear wheels. Step on the pedal and it can go from 0 to 60 mph in a matter of 4.3 seconds when equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox. Things are a blink faster with the dual-clutch M-DCT 7-speed gearbox that gets it to the 60mph-mark in just 4.2 seconds.
If you are going to get this bimmer, we recommend the dual-clutch setup. One, it makes things easy on the road even while in heavy traffic. Second, it makes things more exciting and the adrenaline pumping at the track. Purists will opt for the six-speed but you have been given the tip.
Whatever gearbox you opt for, the 2013 M5 is a fun ride to bring on the track. In case you decide to have fun in the race track, go for the ceramic brakes since the standard brakes can get pretty abused after a few laps around the circuit.
The handling and the balance of this BMW are quite good and this can be attributed to the chassis design, excellence, great suspension tuning, and matched tire specs of BMW. The front to rear weight distribution of this 4,300-lb car is 52:48. It may not be the fastest sedan you can get but it is one fun ride to get into.
If the car is set up for performance, does it do well on a daily driving basis? The M5 can be as comfortable as its non-M siblings. The BMW electronics allow you to adjust the suspension and driving mode to make sure you get what you want on the streets.
The car manufacturer also throws in a lot of extras for consumers. The only thing painful to think about the BMW 5-Series is its price tag that starts at $89,900 without the destination fees. If you have no issues with the sticker price, you can get this car that will be enjoyable both on the track and during family getaways.
The 5 GT or the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo has been traditionally offered with a gas-guzzling eight-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. The brand though has installed its more frugal four-cylinder under the hood of the 520d GT to complete its executive hatchback.
The new 2.0L engine helps the BMW 5 GT to return a fuel mileage of 53.3 miles per gallon while spewing 139 grams of carbon dioxide for every kilometer on the road. This is a good leap from the 43.5 mpg of the 530d, the second most efficient vehicle of the 5 GT lineup.
The BMW 5 GT tips the scale at around 200 kilos more than its Touring sibling so two-liter diesel engine needs to exert some extra effort. It never falls short of expectation though as the 5 GT accelerates very well and delivers the power need for any overtaking.
The bulkiness of the car is made obvious though when you brake or turn into corners. The refinement of the engine is commendable but BMW could have done better with regard to wind noise and noise of the suspension when you go over rough surfaces.
The steering is not as sharp as you will expect from the brand. The firm suspension also makes the ride a feel a bit unsettled.
Only high quality materials were used for the cabin of the 5 GT. The iDrive system is your primary control over most of the functions.
Space will never be an issue even for tall drivers and passengers. Rear visibility though is a bit restricted due to the sloping design of the rear glass. The boot space has a capacity of 440 liters with the rear seats up. This is less compared to the 560 liters of the 5 Series Touring. It is sufficient though for regular drives.
So far, the 2012 model year is the best variant of the 5 GT but the Touring is a lot cheaper, more practical, and fun to drive.

In case you are considering a new BMW 5-Series or maybe a 6-Series with a V-8 powerplant in your garage, we have some interesting news for you. These cars will soon sport a more potent twin-turbo V8 engine that is the same one used for the 7-Series.
Recent reports say that the BMW 650i, 550i, and 550iGT plus their convertible variants will have a more potent engine under their hoods. BMW will be installing a 445 horsepower V-8 with a torque of 480 lb-ft. This means that the 2013 BMW 5- series and 6-Series will get a boost of 45 horses and additional torque of 30 lb-ft compared to their predecessors. The gained power comes from the Valvetronic VVT of BMW.
The new technology adds more horses but also improves the fuel economy of the vehicles. The new twin turbo V-8 with a 4.4-liter displacement is actually 25% more efficient than the previous engine, at least with the 750i BMW sedan.
The new engine also gets BMW a step closer in realizing a common V-8 engine for its whole range. This standardization across the range will spell maximum savings for the brand. We still cannot say though that the new engine will be used for all the V-8 BMWs since there will still be a few models that will get the old engine.
For now, the BMW X6 and X5 will still sport the 4.4-liter V-8 that has a lower output. The numbers are still respectable though with 400 horsepower and a torque of 450 pound-feet.
BMW is the official supplier of the support vehicles which will carry VIPs to their destinations and also help with the logistics. The car manufacturer will be sending in around 4,000 vehicles primarily composed of 5-Series and 3-Series sedans for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Critics raised issues about traffic and carbon dioxide emission but BMW was quick to respond clarifying that the fleet will meet the standards set by the Olympic organizing committee in London.
Aside from the BMW sedans, there will also be motorcycles and bikes according to BMW. Most of the sedans will also be hybrid vehicles or run on diesel, while around 200 units will be electric vehicles. The first batch of BMW vehicles, about forty of them, have been sent to London.
The vehicles will be using the unique lanes designated for Olympic participants to prevent major traffic jams. The BMW units also have a very unique finish designed for the Olympics. The local organizing committee said that the BMW will be a familiar sight near the venues of the games this summer plus the fleet will play a big role to make sure the games are running smoothly as planned.
The London Olympics will kick off by July 27 while the Paralympic Games will start on August 29. If you are one lucky soul like the VIPs of the Olympics, you will be going around in a BMW but if not, the best way to go around the city will be the public transport.
If you still can’t believe your eyes, yes it is true, the M Division of BMW keeps its tradition of having as an option for their North American units to have a manual gearbox. It has been confirmed during the Detroit Auto Show that the upcoming 2013 BMW M5 sedan will have an engine linked to a manual gearbox.
According to a BMW representative, consumers in the United States love the manual shifting M5 as proven in their previous releases in the past years and so this option and unique offer will continue for the North American market.
For no additional cost, buyers can go for the six-speed manual transmission over the standard 7-speed M-DCT or double clutch gearbox. It will feature a short shifter wrapped in black leather with backlight for the knob.
Although the manual transmission is a gear short compared to the automatic gearbox counterpart, the engine will still have the same drive ratio and the special differential for this BMW M division creation.
The M-DCT variants and the manual 2013 M5 will be rolling out the US market by summer this year with BMW expected to announce the tag price close to the official release date.
The older sibling of the BMW M5, the M5 E60 powered by a V10, the 6-speed manual gearbox option had to be added by the car manufacturer after it received bad reviews for its SMG transmission from magazine editors and consumers. About 50% of the purchases in the US of the older generation M5 E60 was for the one with manual transmission.
German car manufacturer BMW recently announced the expansion of their hybrid vehicle lineup including the ActiveHybrid 5 which is based on the BMW 5-series.
The ActiveHybrid 5 is basically a BMW535i that is designed to run with the help of an electric motor. The new BMW hybrid will be using in combo a 3.0L turbocharged 6 cylinder engine and an electric motor. The power of the engines will be transferred to wheels thru an automatic transmission with 8 speeds.
The numbers going around are still unofficial but suggests that the ActiveHybrid 5 will have an output of 335 horsepower with a torque of 447 Nm. This will make a 0-100 kilometer per hour acceleration possible in just 5.7 seconds.
The hybrid BMW 5-series running on electric power alone may go as far as four kilometers on a maximum speed of 60 kph. The electric motor is housed in the transmission itself to conserve space while the battery pack made of lithium ion cells are located in the space between wheel arches.
Charging of the lithium ion battery occurs as the car coasts or as the driver brakes. The electric motor is configured to serve as a generator too feeding energy into the BMW 5-series hybrid’s battery. The electric motor also has a boost function where the inline six engine gets an extra power which gives the sporty ride an edge.
Other features of the ActiveHybrid 5 include the EcoPro mode which adds to the overall efficiency of the vehicle, start-stop system, and a coasting mode that shuts off the combustion engine and decouples it from the car’s drive shaft for maximum efficiency and zero emission, and an improved iDrive interface.
The ActiveHybrid 5 is expected to reach the BMW showrooms in the United States by March 2012.
You read it right, two hundred and twenty-eight miles per hour. That’s one quick sedan, good for a new land speed record for sedans. I’m extremely impressed with BMW for the fact that they keep coming up with these extremely amazing vehicles during these tough economic times. Shows you that the german car maker is NOT stopping their innovation research.

The BMW 5 Series is a mid-sizw luxury car. This has been also classified as a executive car and it hit the roads as long back as in 1972. Today the car has grown into its fifth generation. The car is now a Sedan with a touring body style. Consumers choose today to purchase the used BMW 5 Series too for two reasons. The first being that a new 5 Series would mean a really heavy price tag. Not many could afford to buy it.
Secondly, buying a used BMW is as good as buying the new car. That is because the BMW is not subject to wear and tear and can stand its steel for a really long time. Pick the right one though — don’t just go to an online car auction. Choose the right make and model for yourself that suits your needs and taste before you buy the one that you really like. Also select which all features you need in your car and check out whether they all work fine in that car.
You can take some professional help for negotiating to get the best price from your sellers. They are sure to ask you a fortune for this beautiful car. After all it is a BMW 5 Series!
The BMW 5 Series is one of the high end luxury cars with a very heavy price tag. Meant especially for the super-rich, only a person out of his senses would leave out insuring this mighty wonder car. No doubt any thief would like to drive away with a 5 Series.
So in your own best interests, get your your car insurance today. Automobile manufacturers and leading insurers meet up regularly to assign the group insurance rates for different cars and models. This decides the risk assessed for each model and thereby helps the insurance companies to determine the premium price to be fixed for each model. The factors that they consider for determining this group rating is the car make, model, series, type, cubic capacity and its manufacturing year.
For almost a century, the Bavarian Motor company, better known as BMW, has been giving us a wonderful and superior product line with the best performance for years. The BMW M5 is one such more car launched by BMW. It is of no wonder then that so many people still vouch by this exquisite line of cars for driving on the roads. The continued public support also shows their commitment in bringing to us the best cars at the best prices.
This Sedan is considered as a high performance luxury car with some even claiming it to be the most powerful Sedan in the world today! Its quality and performance has surpassed many of the leading cars. The euphoria created by this high-end luxury vehicle brand has left many craving for one just ultimate ride in it. Till date, amongst all the cars produced by BMW, it is the M5 that has the fastest accelerating capacity. Thus the BMW M5 is much more than just another car from the mighty car company. Its V-10 engine, 10 cylinders with 500 horsepower machine can get you speeds at 8000 rpm. The BMW is undoubtedly one of the most high quality vehicles on our roads today that justifies its high price tag.


Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies are now closely followed by HackerNoon through Coin Pages powered by CoinMarketCap. Readers can check these pages to see daily changes in each coin’s price and market cap, as well as recently published stories.
October 24, 2022 10:00 a.m. EDT
EDWARDS, Colo., Oct. 24, 2022 (Newswire.com) –
HackerNoon, a website focused on posting stories about Technology, launched new coin pages to track popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Coin data is constantly updated, tracking changes in each currency over a 24-hour period.
“As the crypto space evolves, so does HackerNoon,” wrote CEO David Smooke in a post announcing these new pages. “Our next step is to provide our readers and editors with better data within our technology publishing platform.”
By default, the list of coin pages is ordered by market capitalization. “Too much of the crypto and mainstream media is talking about Bitcoin break $10,000, $20,000, $50,000,” David wrote, “but really what they should be talking about is market cap. This simple but important distinction is missed by most mainstream media.” Top ranked coins currently include Bitcoin, Ethereumand XRP. Viewers can also sort this list by price and price change, as well as alphabetically.
Prices are tracked in conjunction with CoinMarketCap. Combining their information with HackerNoon’s own engineering, each page contains a chart that tracks changes in a currency’s price over time. These pages also provide information on the trading volume and circulating supply of each currency, giving readers the ability to see how each coin’s popularity has changed over time.
Coin pages will also help spread stories written by HackerNoon contributors. Each currency in the list of pages is associated with the last article that includes that currency as a subject. When viewing a page, it is also possible to see a curated list of HackerNoon stories alongside stories from other websites surrounding the chosen coin. HackerNoon offers these stories as a way to help readers and hodlers keep up with hot topics related to various cryptocurrencies.
In the future, HackerNoon hopes to add detailed descriptions to each currency on the list, providing information on each coin’s history and milestones. Almost every page contains a short description; the most popular coins have entire paragraphs detailing their reviews and claims to fame.
“We are focused on integrating more API-driven data sources on companies, cryptocurrencies, Software and people,” David wrote. “These coin price pages will be a quantitative and qualitative destination to learn more about what is happening with all the major cryptocurrencies.”
HackerNoon is designed for technologists to read, write and publish. We are an international community of over 30,000 contributing writers and over 4,000,000 curious and insightful monthly readers. Get your tech story published today.
