We believe there is a flaw in the study of Frédérique Schortgen and colleagues (March 24, p 911),1
in which they show hydroxyethylstarch to be an independent risk factor for acute renal failure in severe sepsis.
They used Elohes (Fresenius, Louviers, France), which is a hydroxyethylstarch with average molecular weight of 200 kDa, and molar substitution of 0·62, which is a potent volume expander having a plasma half-life of about 24 h, but does not provide free water. By contrast, gelatine is a low-molecular-weight colloid (average molecular weight 30 kDa) with a plasma half-life of about 2 h, which easily passes through the glomerulus, thus providing water for urine production. Consequently, inadequate provision of free water in hydroxyethylstarch-treated patients will result in a hyperoncotic state and compromise renal function. This effect was shown by Cittanova and colleagues2
in the kidneys of head-injury patients with diabetes insipidus, given similar volumes of gelatine and hydroxyethylstarch, but with inadequate water input in the hydroxyethylstarch group.
Workers in an increasing number of studies have shown protective effects of hydroxyethylstarch preparations compared with albumin and gelatine.3
We have shown that in trauma resuscitation compared with gelatine, hydroxyethylstarch improves lung function and reduces capillary permeability and inflammatory response, with no adverse effects on coagulation or renal function.4
In a comparison of gelatine and hydroxyethylstarch in 40 patients undergoing aortic surgery, we showed that hydroxyethylstarch has glomerular and tubular protective effects.5
In all these studies, hydroxyethylstarch was supplemented with adequate free water to preserve urine output.
It is a great pity that Schortgen and colleagues do not state the volume of free-water input in their patients. At inclusion into the study, the hydroxyethylstarch group had a higher median serum creatinine concentration and a higher frequency of urinary sodium retention, which suggests that some patients were already dehydrated. In the absence of data on the volume and type of other fluids given, we suggest that the difference between studies showing hydroxyethylstarch is of benefit in critically ill patients and that of Schortgen and colleagues is that in the former, adequate free water was given, and in the latter it was not.

A hollowed-out Wal-Mart in Dilworth is going to be remodelled as a clinical testing center for the medical industry. A $780,000 investment from the state of Minnesota will help create 100 new biotech jobs.
It comes as no surprise that the Governor is refusing to call legislators for a badly-needed special session this year. Republicans weren’t exactly lining up to call for a special session and say it was their own idea, so instead, critical construction that could have been started this year will just have to wait, and precious days out of the artificially scarce legislative session will go to waste dealing with issues that could have been solved now.
The North Dakota Aeronautics Commission is keen to keep the Bowman airport open, as the Air Force is planning an ill-timed major expansion of restricted airspace in southwest North Dakota.
Despite a major rush, or boom even, in civil air traffic in the area, the Air Force plans to appropriate the skies of 8 North Dakota counties to expand a training area that until now has been a ways into Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
Most states have one or two MOAs that civilian planes have to steer clear of — there’s a major one in northeast North Dakota, north of the Spirit Lake region. But why the Air Force needs yet more of the sky is puzzling. Has there been a buying spree in bombers and fighters I’m not aware of? Last I heard the Air Force was mainly being cut.
Anyone who looks at an airspace map of southwestern North Dakota airspace can see that it’s a lot of wide-open county. Sure, there’s a lot of room for everyone. But just taking it for a MOA without giving anything back to civil airspace on the other side is just another appropriation of a public good, for the limited benefit of the few.
Speaking of Saskatchewan, wouldn’t it be great to leave a big old pile of oil waste on its doorstep? Some Bakken bandits are making that happen regularly now.
The Red-Blue alliance remains strong in Saskatchewan, with NDP support not even breaching 30% in recent polls. Unlike in Manitoba, which has separate provincial Conservative and Liberal parties, the Sask Party represents a unified front for the centre-right. That makes it highly likely that that the party will maintain its supermajority whenever new elections are called.
An interesting Letter to the Editor in the BisTrib calls out the wanton lawbreaking that is the perpetual waste of natural gas in North Dakota. The scale is almost unfathomably huge, with millions of tons lost — and of course, methane is a vastly more potent greenhouse gas than the CO2 obtained from burning it. The waste is and continues to be legally, economically, and morally wrong. Why is it that the power to enforce our laws isn’t being used?
Starting 2015, home lawns in Manitoba will be prohibited from using synthetic herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, something the lawn care industry is rueing but will likely have positive impact on the suburban environment and public health.
While chemicals remain essential to production agriculture, city use is questionable at best. The excessive use of pesticides has had severe negative impact on insect populations, most of them not being nuisances to humanity (mosquito control being another matter entirely). Moreover, the abuse of herbicides for weed control has developed cottage industries of patent-encumbered plant strains, as well as the rapid evolution of resistant wild weeds. In any case, these chemicals are typically moderately to highly toxic to humans, and not spraying them all over cities is going to be a breath of fresh air, one that other regions ought to emulate.
It’s not surprising that a quixotic quest against federal environmental regulations would be a top priority for the people that benefit from the oil trade in North Dakota, but that doesn’t mean that they’re right.
Governor Dalrymple is at least not claiming, like some on the right, that Carbon Dioxide isn’t a pollutant at all. But he talks of heel-dragging on the issue. Short-sightedness on the consequences of carbon regulations is easy when you’re used to a narrow business model, but drill, pump, refine, burn has nearly run its course. Yet, if people stop burning Bakken crude in their gas tanks, it will still be saleable to the chemical industry, as stock material for plastics and pharmaceuticals.
A recent study suggests that moving to practice and policy on carbon-based energy that will keep CO2 levels under 450 ppm is only going to cost the global economy about 0.06% of annual GDP. If public policy can provide the right incentives and penalties, the big CO2 generators can clean up their act, without really stopping them from being big money generators.
District 43 Dem-NPLers are ready to meet the challenges this election year will bring for the party and its candidates, incumbent Representative and retired teacher Lois Delmore, UND Student Senator Kyle Thorson, and returning Senate candidate and teacher JoNell Bakke.
Fundraising was brisk at the event, which attracted numerous young faces. Yet hanging like a cloud in the room were deep concerns about protecting the right to vote for groups made especially vulnerable by the new law, particularly students and the elderly.
There are already reports of serious struggles with the new voter identification laws, which amount to in essence a motor voter registration regime, something not previously seen in North Dakota. Worse yet, only 19% of North Dakota registration sites are open on any weekday you might choose to stop by.
A landmark legal case in Canada has been upheld on appeal: Métis members continue to count as “Indians” under the Canadian Constitution, something that has important repercussions for everything from public services to border crossing. The Métis people were present all over the Red River Valley before Confederation, and the culture is still relatively organized in Manitoba and the Turtle Mountain area.

Courtney Love has finally triumphed over bad plastic surgery and now looks like a generic Hollywood cougar. Kurt would be spinning in his grave if dead people could still be embarrassed. In any case, her offenses against his memory (not to mention his child) are so ghastly that there’s no territory left for her to plunder.
What has Courtney Love ever done that was worthy of respect? Her first album was largely the product of her husband’s creative genius, and it’s been downhill ever since. She started off as a singlemindedly ambitious groupie, bagged a vulnerable rising rock star, and squandered much of his fortune on nosejobs and dope. Even her own kid can’t stand her.
I’ve just read an artful analysis of her cultural significance but the only part I agree with is that our society revels in the spectacle of public self-destruction. It’s enthralling to watch people making asses of themselves! That’s why I love those Real Housewives.
There’s also something very compelling about people who are literally shameless. Madonna comes to mind in this category. Courtney Love will tweet naked pictures of herself, blab about everyone she’s had sex with, betray all her friends and flaunt her bad spelling as though it’s her life’s work to be annoying.
Here is her best quote to date, spoken to the author of a recent profile in the New York Times:
“For years, despite having impeccable taste, I didn’t understand how to convey that I had impeccable taste.”
Oh Courtney! How frustrating that must have been!
I’m sure we’re supposed to regard her as some kind of tragic figure but it’s all the consequence of vanity and greed. Fuck her! Most people settle for one nosejob and call it a day. She’s just an awful woman who doesn’t know when enough is enough.


It was believed that the previously leaked LG V510 was in fact a refreshed version of the large Nexus 10 tablet, but new developments have indicated otherwise. A leaked service manual of the V510 has set tongues wagging since it has revealed that an 8.3-inch display sits atop this device.
The recently launched LG G Pad too bears an 8.3-inch screen, and what’s interesting is that all the other major specs of the device (model number V500) too stay consistent with those of the V510. It is hence believed that this could be LG’s next Google-commissioned product, a pure Android Nexus 8 tablet, about which nothing had been said or heard in the past.
However, there’s a slight contradiction here as well. The service manual in question, which by the way was revealed through by a Chinese Weibo user named @miyachiki and was spotted by Juggly.cn, contains pictures of the V510, albeit without any Nexus branding. This points towards the possibility that it might just be another version of the LG G Pad after all.
Showcased for the first time in September this year, the G Pad proffers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels on its 8.3-inch screen. It features a 5MP AF rear snapper and a 1.3MP front one. A 1.7GHz quad core processor powers it from within, taking assistance from 2GB worth of RAM. A 4,600mAh Li-Ion battery is also included in its offerings.
And like we said, these specifications even apply to the LG V510, which has led to all the confusion. We hope the mystery about whether it’s a Nexus 8 tablet or just another G Pad version gets solved soon.

Barrick Gold’s Veladero wind turbine has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the highest altitude wind generator in the world. Located at 4,110 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the $8.5 million wind turbine supplies up to 20 per cent of the total electricity needed to power Veladero mine operations.
Guinness World Records representative Mike Janela presented a certificate to Barrick Gold at a joint ceremony held by the company and the provincial government in San Juan, Argentina. The 229-ton structure stands at just over 60 meters high and is one of the largest wind turbines manufactured today. The turbine was the first of its kind to be tested to endure extreme cold, heavy snowfall and high winds, which top 222 kilometers per hour.
Barrick Gold teamed with the British firm Seawind and German manufacturer DeWind to design and build the turbine. The generator design was modified to compensate for lower air density and is an international pilot project to test equipment at high altitude. It took nearly a month to assemble the massive turbine and link it to the electrical network of the Veladero mine, where it has been generating power since December 2007.
Congratulating the company, Janela stated, “What struck me most after the ceremony was just how much pride the government and Barrick took in this generator, and how much interest and curiosity the local population held in the record.” This marks the first world record for Argentina in the mining sector. Barrick currently holds a Guinness World Record as “the largest gold production company.”
Renewables: Barrick Gold’s total investment in clean energy projects is $88.5 million, including the $8.5 million wind turbine at Veladero, a $10 million solar power project in Nevada and a $70 million wind farm, currently under construction in the Coquimbo region of Chile near the company’s Pascua-Lama project.

Civil rights groups suing the state of Texas and various county voter registrars are justified in their fear that U.S. citizens will be purged from voter rolls through a dubious list Secretary of State David Whitley recently tossed out.
The groups shouldn’t settle for a simple injunction against the citizenship challenges Whitley kicked off, however. They should demand more, and the more they should demand might just put an end to this long-running political farce.
The groups are right to argue the citizenship challenges Whitley’s list spawned target Hispanic and Asian Texans. The Daily News has requested the list Galveston County used to send letters demanding people prove their citizenship or be dropped from voter rolls, but has yet to receive it.
All the same, we’re fairly confident it won’t contain a lot of Smiths, or Whitleys, or Abbotts, or Johnsons, or Taylors, or Middletons, or Paxtons, or Ivanovs, or Smirnovs, even though people with those family names could very well be here illegally from Canada or Europe; maybe even Russia.
The groups are justified in their fears for all sorts of mundane reasons. The Secretary of State’s Office already has admitted some number of the people on its list of 95,000 are legal citizens who should never have been named as suspect in the first place.
Almost half of the letters Galveston County mailed went to such people. It’s worth noting that despite the great importance state leaders have attempted to inject into this effort, the letters went out as regular mail — not registered or certified — and in generic county envelopes.
If the state’s grand vetting is allowed to continue, challenge letters will inevitably be mailed to U.S. citizens. Some of that mail will never get to the intended party; it will get lost or they will have moved. Some of the U.S. citizens who receive the letters will never open them, thinking they are junk mail. Some U.S. citizens will open the letters, toss them into stuff-to-do piles and never get around to dealing with them.
All of which will result in more legal voters than illegal voters being purged from the rolls, which, of course, is the whole point of the exercise.
When he rolled this bugaboo out, Whitley said 58,000 of the people on his list had voted in at least one election since 1996.
Texas Republican leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, quickly connected the numbers to voter fraud and promised swift investigation and prosecutions.
There are several objective problems the old GOP saw about voter fraud, though, especially in the context at hand.
For one thing, Republicans have won most of the elections in Texas since 1996. So, if large numbers of illegal voters have been influencing Texas elections, they must have been voting for Republicans.
That would be an interesting line of inquiry, except for the hokum at the core of it all. Even if all 58,000 people on Whitley’s list had cast an illegal vote in at least one election in the past 23 years, which has about zero probability of being the case, it would have not mattered at all.
The Texas GOP is not worried about the tiny fractions of fraudulent ballots that might have been cast in past elections; it’s worried about the large numbers of valid ballots that might be cast in future elections.
The GOP can read a chart plotting demographic change, and it saw what happened in Harris County, for example, during the midterm elections when virtually every Republican officeholder lost.
The party is worried about the future, and that worry very well might be justified.
While it’s tempting to argue that rather than designing a political party that is more inclusive and representative, Texas Republicans are attempting to engineer a registered electorate that is less so.
That theory makes little sense either, however, given the small numbers at play here. Even if all 95,000 people on Whitley’s initial list were purged from the rolls, it wouldn’t change the trend.
The only rationale apparent is even darker than attempting to disenfranchise minority voters. It’s that the fraud mongers among Texas Republicans want to undermine the credibility of the electoral process in general; to infect it with a persistent notion that if an election or election cycle goes badly for them it was not because of their platform, policy of performance, but because of fraud.
That, of course, is exactly how President Donald Trump has attempted to explain his minority share of popular vote in 2016.
It’s hard to imagine anything more un-American or more corrosive to democracy.
The civil rights groups attempting to get this issue before a federal judge shouldn’t stop with an injunction merely halting the ham-fisted effort now underway. Doing that will just feed the conspiracy theories. They should demand as a term of settlement that the burden of proof be shifted from the voter to the state, and that state be required to investigate each name on whatever list it has. The state should be required after that investigation to present to the federal court a full, detailed and verifiable accounting of what it found.
In other words, state leaders peddling fraud should be required, or at least challenged in that public forum, to put up, or shut up.

Mandeville, LA, is located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain and is home to beautiful antebellum homes, lush gardens, and a lively downtown area. There's something for everyone in Mandeville, from outdoor enthusiasts who love fishing and boating in the lake to shoppers who enjoy browsing the boutiques and art galleries. Learn more here.
Mandeville is a city in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 11,560 at the 2010 census. Mandeville is located on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain, south of Interstate 12. It is across the lake from the city of New Orleans, and its eastward neighbor is the town of Covington. Mandeville is part of the New Orleans–Metairie–Kenner metropolitan area and is considered one of the suburbs of New Orleans. The City of Mandeville was incorporated in 1974 through a special election held after annexation votes by both Abita Springs and Mandeville. Mandeville is also known as the "Azalea City." The Tchoupitoulas Indians first settled the area now known as Mandeville in around 600 AD. The name "Mandeville" is thought to be derived from a corruption of the French phrase "Les petits Vaux," meaning "the little valleys." Learn more about A Weekend in Waldheim, LA: What to Do and See.

Model Organization is important as it can affect the performance of system architecture models. The organizational structure should be discussed and developed prior to creating any elements within a model. In SysML, model elements called ‘Packages‘ are used to organize a model. ‘Packages‘ are essentially the containing folder of model elements.
Creating a Package Structure
We’ll start by copying these two packages and pasting two more. We now have four high level package structures.
Let’s name the first one ‘Parametrics’. The next will be ‘Requirements’. The third is ‘Structure’. And the last one is ‘Behavioral’.
We can create three packages in the ‘Behavioral’ package. We can do this by right clicking on the ‘Behavior’ package, Create Element, and Select Package.
Let’s name these packages Use Case, Sequence and Activity. Now for the ‘Structure’ package we can create two packages: ‘Interfaces’ and ‘System Elements’.
What if we need to capture information that can be considered miscellaneous to the actual architecture of a system? Well in that case, we can create a ‘Model Libraries’ package. Let’s use our text editor again. And we will add Stakeholders, Acronyms & Glossary, Messages Library and System Questions.
Let’s also create a Profile package where we can collect any stereotypes or customizations that end up using. We’ll name this the ‘Beyond Profile’.

text: I've been a fan of Jon Maghini's work for a while. I have played quite a few of his instruments and I'm always impressed with the attention to detail. He is also one of the nicest guys in the business, not to mention super quick with emails. He is currently building, for me, an MJ4 Jazz style bass. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted, and we hammered out the specific details pretty quickly. The specs are based on a 70's era Jazz. -4 string -Thick poly finish all over the body, neck and board. -Northern ash (the lightest he can find. Which will probably put the bass in the 9 lb range) -Maple neck with skunk stripe (with the truss rod installed through the back) -Maple board with pearl blocks and white binding -Sunburst finish -Black guard -70's pickup spacing -Passive, but we are adding a battery route on the back to allow for a preamp in the future. -Hipshot B bridge and UL tuners Check out some of the J basses he's finished: I'm excited about this one.

Vivienne Westwood has died aged 81.
The designer and punk pioneer passed away “peacefully and surrounded by her family” in Clapham, South London on Thursday (29.12.22), an announcement on her brand’s official social media page said.
It read: “Vivienne Westwood died today, peacefully and surrounded by her family, in Clapham, South London.
“Vivienne continued to do the things she loved, up until the last moment, designing, working on her art, writing her book, and changing the world for the better.
“She led an amazing life. Her innovation and impact over the last 6 years has been immense and will continue into the future.”
A cause of death was not disclosed.
Vivienne’s husband and creative partner, Andreas Kronthaler, 56, said about going on without her: “I will continue with Vivienne in my heart. We have been working until the end and she has given me plenty of things to get on with. Thank you darling.”
Vivienne has been hailed for bringing punk and new wave fashion into the mainstream and shot to fame after she made clothes for the Sex Pistols’ manager Malcolm McLaren’s famous fashion boutique on the King’s Road, London, known as ‘SEX’.
She was also obsessed with shaking up established systems, and famously said she wanted to see if she could put a “spoke in the system”.
The designer is also survived by two children – Ben, born 1963, who she shared with erotica photographer Derek Westwood, and Joseph Corré, born 1967, who she had with Malcolm McLaren.

Even if a book sells a million copies, it would at best reach a very small proportion of the population. The same is true for a mega-hit film like "The Avatar". Thus, the worlds that are presented by these creative works by necessity remain a minority experience.
When we cast our eyes on the elements of every day, we find incredibly rich multitudes of experience that are the true "bestsellers" of life. Consider the sensation of flavor and taste as you sip your coffee in the morning. The joy of being immersed in the morning sunshine as you venture off into the wider world from your domicile. The swelling feeling of joy as you finally put your self at rest on bed after a strenuous day. These elements of experience are known to everybody, and shared by a true majority of people.
When one is young, one is often quite taken by a work of human creativity that one encounters. Because one is carried away, one sometimes even equates the weight of the adored piece with the whole world itself. One talks about the genius of the creator in a heated manner, enthusiastic on becoming an evangelist of the value of the work. One is then often disappointed by the more or less subdued reaction of the listener. One has forgotten that no matter how important a piece of creativity might appear to be, the experiencing itself remains in the minority.
Despite the disappointments, the young person soldiers on. One gradually rediscovers the common grounds for every breathing soul on earth. The simple joy of sharing those rudimentary elements of living must then serve as the foundation for communication. One leaves one's Dostoevsky and Murakami and starts to read the great book of the world once again, as one used to do as an innocent infant.

Pain is one of the areas where I have long thought (since at least 2003) neuroscience might contribute substantially to the law. New research published September 13 in PLoS One furthers the promise of perhaps using neuroimaging to determine who is, and isn’t, in pain – and, maybe, how much.
The article, from the lab of Sean Mackey, a Stanford anesthesiologist (with whom I have collaborated on various things), is available at the PLoS One site. The researchers used healthy volunteers who, while in an MRI scanner, were subjected to occasional painful (but not harmful) stimuli – a heated (or not heated) metal bar to the skin. Using fancy statistical methods, they were able with over 80% accuracy to distinguish the scans of people who were getting the painful stimulus from those who were not. By classing an intermediate 15% as indeterminate, their accuracy on those they did call went up to 85%.
Now, of course, this is still only 85% accuracy. And these are healthy subjects, in a laboratory context, with a controlled and somewhat artificial painful stimulus. Much work will have to be done – or, at least, much more will need to be proven – before I would be comfortable using this in a courtroom as evidence for (or against), say, chronic back pain. But there are hundreds of thousands of judicial and administrative ((think of social security disability) cases each year in the United States in which pain is a major feature. We do not currently have great ways to detect pain and we believe that some successful claimants are exaggerating, or completely faking their pain – and some unsuccessful claimants actually are feeling substantial pain.
In at least two cases I know about, litigants have retained expert witnesses on neuroimaging of pain, though both cases settled before trial. Adam Kolber, of Brooklyn Law School (and the excellent Neuroethics and Law blog) has written several good pieces about pain, including Pain Detection and the Privacy of Subjective Experience, 33 AM. J. L. & MED. 433 (2007), The Subjective Experience of Punishment, 109 COLUM. L. REV. 182 (2009), and (in part) The Experiential Future of the Law, 60 EMORY L. J. 585 (2011). And the Center for Law and the Biosciences held a conference on the issue in late 2008, which the authors of the recent PLoS article cite as the inspiration for their research! (Audio recordings from the conference are here.)
This is going to be an increasingly important field. Watch this space!


2019 Chevrolet Silverado RST Engines
The Chevrolet brand is proud of the new turbocharged engine you can find in the 2019 Silverado RST. Chevrolet has achieved so much they can take pride in, and their newest flagship truck is certainly worthy of admiration. It will hit dealership lots as soon as fall of 2018, and drivers are excited to try out the turbo boosted inline engine. Learn what to expect from this new development, and it will be easier to pick your jaw back up off the floor when you experience it for yourself.
Silverado’s New RST Engine Options
Without further ado, here’s what’s in store for the newest RST Silverado 1500.
What is Chevy’s Newest Engine?
Chevrolet put their best and brightest engineers to the test when they asked for a motor to give a turbo boost to their most popular trucks. Those talented scientists rose brilliantly to meet the task at hand, and returned a 2.7L engine that was designed specifically to deliver both power and fuel efficiency without adding too much weight to the vehicle that carries it.
Officials at Chevrolet speculate that the new development will widen the gap between their trucks and the competition. Much as technology is offering amazing power in smaller than ever packages, the new inline four-cylinder engine replaces a 4.3L V6 for the RST trim level, and it generates 310 horsepower and 348 lb.-ft of torque. The 2019 Silverado’s new inline four-cylinder engine also weighs 380 pounds less than the previously offered V6.
The common school of thought surrounding trucks is that big things come in big packages, but this new feat of engineering proves that the old adage is true even in the pickup world: big things can, in fact, come in small packages. The I-4 is lighter, smaller, and still provides enough energy to conquer enormous tasks.
How Can an Engine Be Both Smaller and Better?
This engine uses an aluminum block and cylinder to reduce the overall weight. The innovative design allows weight to be distributed throughout the truck, which leads to a better overall driving experience. Drivers will be able to feel the difference when it comes to agility and maneuverability.
Because the engine uses turbo charged technology, it will get power, performance, and fuel economy that is not otherwise possible. The fuel efficiency will be especially important for truck drivers who are otherwise inclined to pursue the biggest engine available. An analyst observed that one single test drive should be able to convince drivers that the turbo I-4 engine outperforms its V6 competitors.
I-4 Versus V6 Engines
A V6 engine is called that because the cylinders are arranged in the shape of a V. As they churn, this creates a sort of rotating motion, which creates a movement counterproductive to the forward motion of the vehicle itself. This inefficiency is corrected by I-4 engines, where the “I” stands for, “inline.” These types of engines are arranged such that all cylinders are firing in the same direction, eliminating the counterproductive rotations in a V engine. The improved design allows for smooth and rapid acceleration, which is enhanced by some of the other features in the new Chevy RST engine.
What Else Has Chevy Done for the RST Engine?
Tom Sutter, the chief engineer on Chevrolet’s new engine, goes into more technical detail about why this engine works so well. They used a state of the art design to eliminate any delayed acceleration that turns drivers off of some other turbocharged engines in trucks. The specific design feature that comes into play here is called an advance dual-volute turbocharger. In other words, there are two separate chambers with their own gas introduction systems.
Other turbo engines in trucks often rely on a single chamber that’s shaped like a spiral. Doubling the chambers allows the engine to get up to speed more quickly. There are twice as many sources of power, so the motor gets what it needs in a hurry.
Other Facts About the Chevy I-4 Engine
The I-4 engine has a secret weapon that allows for even more fuel efficiency. It engages all four cylinders to create a burst of power when you need it, and it can run on only two cylinders in low-pressure situations. For example, when you’re cruising at a steady speed, two of the cylinders will deactivate to conserve gas. Combine this with the eight speed automatic transmission, and you’re getting the smoothest, most efficient ride you can find with this much authority.
Test Drive the New Silverado 1500 RST in Phoenix
Test drive a true American pickup truck with the RST package and other trim levels as soon as they become available, because this is not the kind of experience you’ll want to deprive yourself of. The impressive styling is sure to turn some heads, and a turbo engine will make the most of the attention. You’ll get your opportunity soon if you watch the lot at your nearest Chevy dealership. Visit your local Chevy dealer to find out when when you can take this turbocharged engine for a spin.


Drama in Mzuzu as the Joint patrols by the Mzuzu City Council and the Police ended prematurely on Monday afternoon.
This has happened that teargas cannisters exploded inside the van which the enforcers were using.
The incident took place at the market near the rank where people from Geisha boarding their taxis.
The patrols are aimed at relocating illegal vendors from the streets to designated places like the Matabwa free market.
Most vendors are shunning the multi million kwacha Matabwa free market claiming that, they don’t make good business at the facility because it is far from their customers.
The operation that started some five years ago yield nothing as vendors insist to remain at the place that is located along M1 Mzuzu Karonga road.

Regardless of what you think of Spike Lee and/or his politics, he makes some very fine films. Let’s just say, I think he hits more than he misses. Tackling the true story of police officer Ron Stallworth, his infiltration into the Colorado Springs Ku Klux Klan and his “relationship” with racist David Duke, Lee takes a daring step with how he handles fact from fiction. The hitch in BlacKkKlansman is that Ron Stallworth is a black man. So how does a black man get to be a card carrying member of the KKK? Simple. On the phone he is Ron Stallworth, but a white officer plays him at the meetings. In this film, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) is Ron Stallworth at the meetings.
This is a dangerous plan but it is fascinating how the story plays out and Spike Lee does a fine job keeping to the story without editorializing the material based on Ron Stallworth’s book. Yes, Lee cannot help himself in a couple of scenes in which he crams his own ideology down the viewer’s throats. But, overall, Spike Lee sticks to the characters and the story which is where BlacKkKlansman really shines. Powered by two Oscar worthy performances by John David Washington as Ron Stallworth and Driver as Flip, this film is funny, observant and intriguing. Despite what Lee tries to insinuate about most white people, we loath racists and these bums in the film were no exception. David Duke does not speak for 99.9% of all Americans and to make that claim is ludicrous.
So to those who know me and my politics, know that I have very little in common with Mr. Lee’s politics. So this review will be a bit shorter than others only because I will steer clear of the politics the best I can but since Mr. Lee has injected some of his views I have countered those views with my own opinions. However, agree or disagree, Spike Lee is an excellent director and this film is one of his better films. I didn’t mind his views, agree or disagree. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see a scene in which Ron Stallworth defends police officers. In a world and in an industry that usually dumps on police officers, I was very pleased to see a scene in which they are defended. Even more so that it was a Spike Lee film that did it.
BlacKkKlansman is an incredible true story. The comedy that ensues is fresh, inventive and based on truth which makes it all the more entertaining. Lee has crafted a rather entertaining story about real people doing a very dangerous job with some of the lowest slime on the planet. Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott and Spike Lee, himself, have adapted Ron Stallworth’s book with intelligence, wit and a lot of heart. Mr. Stallworth has a good heart and wants to do well by his community, regardless of color and it shines through John David Washington’s endearingly winning performance. I also really enjoyed Terence Blanchard’s score which captures the time period perfectly.I could have done without the heavy handed finish which is a little too over the top for my tastes, but otherwise BlacKkKlansman is an immensely interesting and wild film and worthy of a viewing, politics aside.
BlacKkKlansman – **** out of 5
BlacKkKlansman – Rated R for language, some nudity, racial slurs and racial obscenities and violence
BlacKkKlansman – Run time is 135 minutes
BlacKkKlansman is now playing in theaters. Check your local listings for times and locations nearest you.

It is important to scrub your new fish serving. Do not use soap the way it will leave any residue on the seafood bowl which is unhealthy for the fish. Rinse out the fish dishes in clear drinking water. Body
It is important to bathe your new fish jar. Do not use soap since it will leave a new residue on the fish bowl which is unhealthy for the fish. Rinse the fish servings in clear normal water. If you are using sand or perhaps gravel in the bottom of ones fish bowls bathe them in a strainer and mix until the drain water is clear. Spread this sand andor gravel on to the floor of the fish bowls so the back coating is higher than top. Most waste matter will certainly fall to the front making cleaning the species of fish bowl easier. Before you add water for a fish bowls youll want to condition your normal water to get rid of the chlorine. Great rate container service Buying chlorine neutralizer can be a safe way to do this particular. Click here This is where you add a link to online world.ablackhorse.comfish-bowls.html Another method is to let your drinking water sit for about a 7 days. During this time it gathers up oxygen and seems to lose its chlorine. Word of Warning- A lot of public water materials are now using chloramines the combination of chlorine and ammonia. You should find out no matter if your public h2o supply has chloramines. The actual safest route for your fish is to buy something which removes swimming pool water and neutralizes ammonia. If you know you have chloramines in your water wait to purchase a conditioning product which does not neutralize ammonia. Simply click here This is where you put the link to www.ablackhorse.comfish-bowls.web coding To add water for a fish bowl without having disturbing the bed associated with sand and stones place a papers plate or a small note in the fish serving and pour the water slowly onto the papers. After the fish serving is full carefully remove the paper therefore you dont disturb the actual sand. If you are putting plants your species of fish bowl is now ready for planting. Clean the plants inside cold water before placing in the seafood bowls. Gently push the roots to the sand. Cover up any kind of holes left from your fingers. You can consider down artificial crops with small stones as needed.

Permit the fish bowls to stand for a day before water upset because of the planting has cleared. It is important that the temp of the conditioned h2o for the fish dishes be the same as area temperature which is between Sixty eight and 75 diplomas Fahrenheit. Now you are ready to include your fish Essentially the most important details can be making sure the water temperature in which you bring your fish home with and the temperature on the fish bowls h2o are the same. Fish are incredibly sensitive to even the smallest temperature differences. That important detail mustnt be over looked You can create the water in the species of fish bowls and the package the same temperature by simply dropping a little fish bowls water to the container with the seafood every few minutes as well as by holding this fish container within the fish bowls till the water on the outside along with the water in the seafood bowls are identical temperatures. To add your own fish place ones equalized water temperature container into the fish containers and gently open it. Tilt it carefully and the fish will swim out into their new home.

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- Percy Duyck spends most of his time watching geese and sandhill cranes fly over the Nenana Ice Classic watchtower he occupies eight hours a day. He plays a lot of solitaire, too, and listens to the radio.
''There's a TV here, but I don't turn it on,'' said Duyck, one of three watchpersons who have been staffing the small shack on the bank of the Tanana River 24 hours a day since Saturday.
The three are paid to keep an eye on the Tanana River ice and make sure no one monkeys with the wire connecting a clock in the watchtower to a 30-foot, black-and-white, wooden tripod anchored in the ice about 100 yards offshore. When the tripod moves far enough downstream, the wire stops the clock, signalling the official arrival of breakup in the Interior.
It also means a hefty check for those who correctly predicted the date and time the clock would stop in what has become Alaska's richest lottery. This year's jackpot is $308,000.
But so far there hasn't been much to look at except for lots of geese flying overhead, along with a few cranes and trumpeter swans. On Tuesday, Duyck was treated to a late-season snowstorm.
''The river is still all white,'' Duyck reported. ''I don't see any open holes. There's a little water by the docks, but it doesn't have any current to it.''
Despite the fact the ice on the Nenana River, which flows into the Tanana River about a quarter-mile downstream from the tripod, went out a week ago, the ice on the Tanana River has shown no sign of budging. Typically the ice on the Tanana goes out a week to 10 days after the Nenana. That may not be the case this year.
''The last two days I've been saying five to seven days, and it looks like it's going to be at least that long,'' said Duyck, who has been serving as a watchman for the last 20 years. ''If it stays like this, I don't see nothing happening for a while.''
A channel of water has opened about a mile upstream of the tripod, beyond the Alaska Railroad bridge that crosses the river, Ice Classic manager Cherri Forness said. But she doesn't anticipate breakup anytime soon ''unless something drastic happens.''
''It looks pretty solid,'' Forness said.
The National Weather Service in Fairbanks is forecasting cooler than normal temperatures for the next week, which could further prolong the rotting of the ice.
''We can expect below-normal temperatures the first 10 days of May,'' said meteorologist Anton Prechtel.
Highs will be in the mid-40s and lows will be in the mid 20s, about five to 10 degrees cooler than average.
Though this year's breakup will be the latest at least since 1996, when the ice went out on May 5, the ice commonly goes out in the first or second week of May. Last year the ice went out at 10:47 a.m. on May 1.
Based on Ice Classic history, May 5 and May 8 are the most likely remaining dates the ice will move. The ice has gone out seven times on both those dates, ranking them No. 2 on the Classic's list of most common breakup dates, along with April 29.
The No. 1 date on the list is April 30. The ice has gone out nine times on that date.
The latest breakup recorded in the Ice Classic is May 20 in 1964.
On Tuesday, Duyck entertained himself by crumbling up a leftover ham sandwich and watching a gang of ravens attack it.
''I put it out and one raven flew over and circled three times before it landed about 50 feet away. It made a half circle and took off,'' Duyck said. ''Pretty soon here came about 20 of them. They landed a little ways away and did their little dance.''
Then one of the ravens picked up a little piece of the sandwich and the rest of the pack quickly joined in the feast, he said. The scene intrigued the 72-year-old Native.
''When they come and see something like that they don't just drop right in and grab it,'' Duyck said. ''They check it out first.''
Another day in Nenana, just sitting on the dock of the river watching time pass away. -

The release of Fifa 19 is the next big thing on planet Earth. Yes, it truly is a very significant event with millions counting the days to the release date. If you’re a die-hard Fifa fan, desperately waiting for the 2019 version to roll out, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’ll be covering all the information that you need to know about your favorite game. Keep reading to find out more…

How much will Fifa 19 cost?
The Standard Edition of Fifa 19 will cost you £49.99. You can pre-order the game online. The Champions and Ultimate Edition are priced at £69.99 and £89.99 respectively.
Pre-ordering Fifa 19 – Important things to note
You can choose from three different versions of Fifa 19 – the Standard Edition, the Champions Edition, and the Ultimate Edition. Each of them comes with a variety of features.
The Standard Edition comes with a maximum of 5 jumbo packages for the Ultimate Team, special edition FUT kits, and a Cristiano Ronaldo Goal Card.
If you pre-order the Champions Edition, you will get the early-bird access, a maximum of twenty-jumbo packages, a Champions league player pick, and a Neymar Loan Card.
The Ultimate Edition is the largest version of the game and it includes everything that is a part of the Standard and Champions Edition. You will also get a maximum of forty jumbo packages.
Eight new features that you can expect on Fifa 19
1. UEFA Champions League

2. New Commentary Team
Fifa 19 will witness the entry of a new commentary team comprising of the ex-Arsenal player Lee Dixon and Derek Rae, known for his commentary with BT Sport and ESPN. The incredible duo will surely take Fifa 19 commentary to the next level.

The brand-new Timed Finishing feature is supposed to give players more precise control when striking the ball. To activate this feature, all you need to do is double tap the shoot button. In the second tap, you can determine how well you’re connecting with the ball.
However, the challenge here is timing the second tap flawlessly. A tap too early or a little late can make a lot of difference to your shot.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (05 November 2022) — Ahead of 27th UN Climate Conference (COP27) and in the aftermath of Severe Tropical Storm Paeng (international name: Nalgae), Greenpeace, climate-affected communities, and the Filipino youth are calling on world leaders to hold big climate polluters accountable for worsening climate change, and make them pay for the loss and damage incurred from the crisis’ impacts.
The organization is set to join the conference in Egypt, and has launched a youth campaign dubbed “Party 4 the Planet” — a solidarity dance challenge through which young Filipino climate advocates can support the demand for climate justice in a lighthearted, creative manner. Greenpeace Philippines Campaigner Virginia Benosa-Llorin believes that even through digital means, the youth can greatly contribute to addressing climate change, by calling on their government and the rest of the world to ensure a safe and fair future for generations to come.
“Filipinos have already been suffering from climate impacts for decades, and this year’s typhoon season has been particularly hard for communities. Since August, we’ve seen seven destructive typhoons that flooded towns, cities, and farmlands, caused massive landslides, and took away lives, livelihoods, and homes. Climate polluting companies and countries must be held accountable, and be made to pay for the harms that their businesses have caused,” said Llorin.
Greenpeace Philippines has been calling on the Marcos Jr. administration and the world’s governments to follow through with the recommendations of the Final Report on the National Inquiry on Climate Change issued by the Commission on Human Rights, which underscores the accountability of climate polluting corporations. The group has also been stressing the need to listen to community climate justice champions and bring their demands to COP27.
“Feeling safe and seen is central to the wellbeing of us all and the planet and this is what COP27 needs to be about, and can be about if leaders pick up their game. Justice, accountability and finance for the countries hardest hit by the climate crisis, past, present and future, are three of the key components to success not only during the talks but in the actions afterwards. Solutions and wisdom are in abundance from Indigenous Peoples, frontline communities and youth – what’s missing is the will of rich polluting governments and corporations to act but they’ve definitely got the memo,” said Yeb Sano, Executive Director, Greenpeace Southeast Asia and Head of the Greenpeace delegation attending the COP.
“The global movement, led by Indigenous Peoples and young people, will continue to rise if world leaders fail again but now, once more, on the eve of COP27, we call on leaders to step up to build the trust and plans we need, to take the opportunity to work together for the collective well-being of people and planet.”
According to Greenpeace, COP27 could succeed if the following agreements were made:
- Deliver new money for countries and communities most vulnerable to climate change to address the loss and damages from past, present and near future climate disasters through the establishment of a Loss and Damage Finance Facility.
- Ensure US $100bn pledge is implemented to support low income countries to adapt and increase resilience to climate change impacts, honoring the commitment made by rich countries at COP26 to double funding for adaptation by 2025.
- See all countries adopt a just transition approach to a fast and fair phase out of all fossil fuel use, including putting an immediate end to all new fossil fuel projects as recommended by the International Energy Agency.
- Make it clear that limiting temperature rise to 1.5C by 2100 is the only acceptable interpretation of the Paris Agreement and acknowledge the 1.5°C aligned global phase out dates for the production and consumption of coal, gas and oil.
- Recognise the role of nature in climate mitigation, adaptation, as a cultural and spiritual symbol and as a home to diverse flora and fauna. Protecting and restoring nature must be done in parallel to the fossil-fuel phase-out and with the active participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.
A detailed briefing on Greenpeace’s COP27 demands is available here.

Why This Matters: Transportation emissions are one of the largest sources, and even though airline emissions are only around 9% of the U.S. total, they had been increasing greatly pre-pandemic. Airline efforts are far behind other transportation sources when it comes to developing control technologies and biofuel alternatives. Without a strong push from the government, no airline or airplane maker is likely to tackle the difficult challenge of making more fuel-efficient and lower-emitting airplanes. Hopefully, the incoming Biden administration, particularly the Defense Department, can push the airline industry to build back better given all the COVID relief it has received.
The environmental community was swift to criticize the new rule. Annie Petsonk of the Environmental Defense Fund said in a release, “This do-nothing rule is totally inadequate in light of the climate crisis. That the EPA’s rule is being finalized concomitantly with Congress issuing another multi-billion-dollar COVID-19 rescue package for airlines — with no enforceable requirements for airlines to improve their environmental performance — underscores the need for swift regulatory action by the next administration so that airlines put climate at the core of their recovery.” Similarly, Liz Jones, with the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute argued, “This rule is especially infuriating because there are effective ways for the aviation industry to modernize and decarbonize. What we desperately need are technology-forcing standards to get the industry on track.”
EPA reverted to the usual jobs versus the environment argument saying of the rule that it is a “pragmatic approach to climate action [that] has produced meaningful results without unnecessarily sacrificing American jobs.”
Democratic Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Ed Markey have in the past called for the big airline industry bailouts to come with some corresponding commitments to reduce their emissions. “Carbon offsets should be a condition for any such bailouts,” Senator Whitehouse tweeted last March after the airline industry received its first $50B in relief funding. He went on to say, “Airlines that want public support should live public values.”
What You Can Do: Keep meeting virtually. The pandemic could lead to a more sustainable amount of business travel, but only if that is more acceptable once it is safe to travel by air in large numbers again.
On Monday, France hosted the One Planet Summit for biodiversity where the leaders of more than 50 nations launched the High Ambition Coalition (HAC) for Nature and People. The coalition aims to secure a global agreement to protect at least 30% of the planet’s land and ocean by 2030 when the Convention on Biological Diversity […]
Each January, the Eurasia Group, a management consultancy, looks at the biggest global political risks in the year to come. Climate change is perennially on the list — this year it ranks thirdbehind public doubt in the legitimacy of President-elect Biden’s election and the coronavirus.
Why This Matters: “In 2021, climate will go from a playground of global cooperation to an arena of global competition.”
When you leave your front door, what can you reach in 15 minutes by foot or bike? A grocery store? A school? A park? That’s the question that many urban planners are using to shape plans for how cities operate in the future. The 15-minute city means designing neighborhoods where everything people need, from housing to dining to cultural institutions, is within that 15-minute radius.
Why this Matters: It’s a good idea to create neighborhoods that fulfill people’s basic needs so that they won’t have to travel as far to manage their daily lives – especially post-pandemic when more people are likely to work from home.
