What is Rotary Electric Actuator?
A rotary electric actuator is a type of device that uses an electric motor to rotate a shaft or other mechanical component in a controlled manner. Typically classified by drive types, which can be linear or rotary. Linear electric actuators use a linear motor to drive a piston or other linear component, while rotary electric actuators use a rotary motor to rotate a shaft or other rotary component.
Rotary electric actuators can be further classified according to their design, such as ball screw actuators, belt driven actuators and gear driven actuators. They can also be classified by their power source, such as AC or DC motors, or by control methods such as open-loop or closed-loop control.
Where is Rotary Electric Actuator Used?
It is widely used in a variety of applications including automation, material handling and process control due to its ability to provide precise and repeatable motion control. In addition, they are often preferred over hydraulic or pneumatic actuators as they are more energy efficient and require less maintenance. It is often used to control the movement of valves, gates, flaps and other mechanical components in various industries including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and more.
Electric Actuators; It consists of 3-phase motor, speed regulator, torque control, stroke control opening indicator, manual electrical switches, manual gear and electrical parts. There are two types, 24V DC, 220V AC.
The actuator contains a mechanically adjustable torque mechanism. The necessary torque control settings have been made at the factory. However, if adjustment is still needed, it can be done mechanically.

Some foods enjoy a great reputation. And they should! I love it when healthy foods are popular and flying off the shelf. But what about some less popular foods that still pack a nutritional punch? Let’s take a look at three different foods you might overlook but should consider throwing in your cart during this week’s grocery haul.
The poor potato is tainted with bad science and associated with fad diets that just aren’t good ideas. What’s a veggie to do? Fear not! The potato is actually packed with nutrients and is the perfect side dish for any meal, not just at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
First off, potatoes won’t derail your diet. A medium-sized baked potato contains only about 160 calories. Potatoes are naturally low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Even better, a serving of potatoes contains nearly 5 grams of fiber, which is important for a healthy digestive system. Potatoes are also a great source of potassium, which is an important mineral for proper functioning cells, tissues, and organs. Potatoes are also high in vitamin B6, which research shows can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Don’t be so quick to dismiss this vegetable!
Fresh Fruit Alternatives
Fresh, whole fruits are often touted as superior to other forms of fruit. But fruit is a great source of healthful components, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenols, vitamins and minerals, whether they are fresh, canned, frozen, dried, puréed, or 100 percent fruit juice. A diet rich in fruits is associated with a reduced risk of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
Similar to other sweet foods like soda and desserts, the types of sugars found in fruit, 100 percent fruit juice, and fruit products are fructose and glucose. When eaten within recommended quantities, neither of the sugars found in fruit is better or worse for your health. Despite this, fructose is a target for its alleged role in obesity and other chronic diseases. However, research shows that there is no benefit to replacing fructose with glucose in the diet.
That being said, the amount of sugar (and calories) you consume from fruit juice can be different from the amount you get from a piece of fruit. Fruit juices can contain more sugars per serving than fruit, especially if the juice has added sugars. It’s important to keep consumption of this type of fruit product within your calorie budget. Unfortunately, most of us don’t get enough fruits or veggies. Aim to include a variety of fruits (1.5 to 2 servings/day) and veggies (2 to 3 servings/day) in your diet.
Whether it’s the misperception that corn isn’t easily digestible or doesn’t contain many nutrients, it is often the overlooked vegetable in the pantry or produce section. But in reality, corn has a ton of health benefits and is a great addition to any balanced diet.
Corn, whether it be fresh or dried (i.e., popcorn), is a rich source of fiber and serves as a prebiotic in your gut to help promote digestive health. Corn is also a rich source of carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants not only contribute to corn’s distinct yellow color but also provide a variety of health benefits such as eye health.
Do you also think that processing corn decreases its availability of nutrients? Turns out, cooking and heating actually increases accessibility of these antioxidants.
Beyond fiber and antioxidants, corn is also a great source of B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate), iron, and selenium. B vitamins are crucial for cellular metabolism, iron is important to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system, and selenium functions as an antioxidant to protect your cells from damage. Corn also provides protein, about 5 grams per cup, to promote lean muscle and weight management.
The next time you head to the store, give these misjudged foods a second chance to be a part of your balanced, healthful diet.

The Station Fire rages on, but it appears to be moving more toward Acton and Sunland. (And right toward the telecommunications towers and historic observatory on Mount Wilson.) While I am glad not to see as many mountainside bonfires from South Pasadena's vantage point, I know the 42,000+ acre inferno is very much out of control, en route to ravage more chaparral and forest, and poised to terrorize more towns. Two firefighters lost their lives yesterday in a vehicle crash. Tonight, 6600 homes in the region are under mandatory evacuation. The slightest increase in wind could churn this disaster into a real catastrophe.
But there is far less smoke in South Pasadena tonight, and our beautiful neighboring cities of Pasadena and Altadena seem -- at least for now -- to be out of the direct line of (literal) fire that threatened for the past few days. I'm grateful ... but not quite relaxed yet.
Check out my overflow blog for a few more images from yesterday.
UPDATE: 8:45AM Fire doubled in size overnight to 85,000 acres. Hard to believe it is growing this fast and out of control with no Santa Ana winds pushing it. It is still only 5% contained, but at least superscooper planes have arrived to assist in the fight.
Our friend Altadena Hiker is doing a great job of posting information about this fire. For more excellent coverage of the growing/changing situation,check out:
The Mount Wilson webcam
LA Times dynamic map of current fire zone
UPDATE: 10:15AM While South Pasadena and Pasadena may not be in the direct line of fire, we are suffering from "very unhealthy" air quality due to the smoke/particulate matter generated by the Station Fire. Here is the latest map from AQMD. Stay indoors, folks.
UPDATE: 1:30PM Just got back from running errands around the area. There is a dreadful amount of smoke in the air. The mountains have virtually disappeared. A thick haze hangs over everything -- kind of like the air in a Holiday Inn bar at a 1955 Tobacco Council convention. I was over near Hastings Ranch and the smoke seemed even thicker there but it's pervasive and noxious everywhere you go in the San Gabriel Valley. Here's the latest about Mount Wilson. Don't know if fire has actually hit but the webcam is down. (That could be to increased traffic.) Altadenablog has the latest on evacuations.
UPDATE: 3:00PM This fire is the biggest in county history since 1897. KNX reports it at 100,000+ acres.
UPDATE: 9:24 Mount Wilson still stands for now, fire still grows bigger -- latest from LA Times. The air in South Pasadena and Pasadena is better tonight than it was during the day. Winds must have shifted.

In the fast-paced modern world, sustaining optimal energy levels throughout the day is crucial for both productivity and overall well-being. While some individuals resort to quick fixes like caffeine or energy drinks, it’s the sustainable methods endorsed by experts like Dr Mahmud Kara that truly pave the way to lasting vitality.
Prioritizing Restorative Sleep
Undoubtedly, one of the most underestimated factors influencing energy levels is sleep. Dr. Kara, a distinguished sleep expert, emphasizes the critical importance of achieving adequate and restful sleep each night. During the deep phases of sleep, the body engages in essential repair and rejuvenation processes, resulting in waking up refreshed and revitalized. Striving for a consistent 7-9 hours of sleep, establishing a calming pre-sleep routine, and creating an optimal sleep environment all contribute to improved sleep quality.
Adopting a Nutrient-Rich Diet
Dr. Mahmud Kara underscores the role of a balanced diet in sustaining optimal energy levels. Fueling the body with nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats supports efficient energy production. On the flip side, minimizing the consumption of sugary and processed foods helps prevent energy crashes and fluctuations. Staying adequately hydrated is equally vital, as even mild dehydration can lead to fatigue and reduced alertness.
Regular Physical Activity
Engaging in regular exercise is another key strategy to enhance and maintain energy levels. Dr. Kara advocates for exercise due to its ability to boost blood flow, improve oxygen delivery to cells, and enhance overall stamina. Tailoring an exercise routine to personal preferences and lifestyle, encompassing activities like jogging, yoga, or dancing, can provide a significant boost to energy levels. Even brief walks during breaks can invigorate the senses and enhance overall vitality.
Effective Stress Management
Chronic stress is a known energy drain that can lead to exhaustion. Dr. Kara emphasizes the importance of integrating stress-reduction techniques into daily routines, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature. Prioritizing self-care and allocating time for enjoyable hobbies can contribute significantly to overall energy levels.
Incorporating these science-backed strategies into daily life can considerably enhance energy levels in a sustainable manner. Remember to prioritize restorative sleep, maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress effectively, take power naps when needed, and foster meaningful social connections. By doing so, individuals can experience heightened vitality, increased productivity, and an overall sense of well-being, empowering them to lead more energetic and fulfilling lives.
In a world where energy depletion is a common concern, Dr Mahmud Kara expert strategies offer a beacon of hope, guiding individuals toward sustained vitality and optimal well-being.

Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has been told by manager Rafael Benitez that he has a future at the club.
Crouch joined Liverpool from Southampton in July 2005
The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from Anfield as Benitez rebuilds his team over the summer.
But Crouch said: "Benitez told me I'm part of his plans and that's good enough for me. I'll relax over the summer and come back hungry for more.
"At Liverpool there's going to be competition for places, especially as the manager likes to chop and change."
The tall striker joined Liverpool from Southampton for £7m in July 2005 and has scored 17 goals in 46 Premiership appearances.
Crouch came on as a substitute in the Champions League final against AC Milan and is currently training with the England squad ahead of their games with Brazil and Estonia.
The 26-year-old was competing with Dirk Kuyt, Craig Bellamy and Robbie Fowler for a starting berth at Liverpool last season.
Fowler has not been offered a new deal while Bellamy has been strongly linked with a move away from the club as Benitez rebuilds the Reds.
The Spanish coach is expected to spend heavily in the summer following the takeover of the club by American duo George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
"Benitez is going to bring top class players in so you always have to be on your toes," added Crouch.

CNN, MSNBC, Fox Oddly Absent During Ordeal
The flight crew of a Cessna Citation 550 (file photo of
type, below) that briefly experienced landing gear trouble but
later landed uneventfully at Toledo Express Airport Friday may have
wondered "where are the cameras?"
Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority spokesman Brian Schwartz told
the Toledo Blade the jet's pilot reported the problem to the
airport at 12:40 pm.
While the pilot and one unidentified passenger circled the
airport for approximately 90 minutes working to correct the
problem, the airport went on Level 1 emergency alert.
Several agencies, including the Springfield Township and Swanton
Township fire departments, Lucas County EMS, and the Ohio Highway
Patrol responded to the call -- and they all had prime seats to
watch as the Citation landed safely at approximately 2 pm, with all
three gear fully extended.
Schwartz said the Citation was taken to the airport's Cessna
service center to be thoroughly checked.
Somewhat notoriously absent from the scene were the television
cameras present during similar landing gear incidents earlier this
year -- specifically a similar stuck-gear incident November 21
involving a Gulfstream V bizjet, as well as the much-ballyhooed landing of a Jetblue
A320 in September with its nosegear canted 90 degrees
out of whack. In each of those cases, local news crews fed their
camera feeds of the circling jets to cable news channels, who
broadcast the images to the viewing public.
Both of those incidents also ended safely, with the G-5 crew
also able to successfully drop the gear and the pilot of the
stricken Airbus making a spectacular -- albeit fairly routine --
emergency landing in a shower of sparks (above).

eid ul adha pics hd
eid ul adha pics hd Indonesia, Turkey, Russia and Pakistan — are celebrating Eid al-Adha, Islam’s maximum revered observance.
Known as the Feast of Sacrifice or “big Eid,” it’s far one of the primary spiritual festivals of Islam. The other, Eid al-Fitr, happens at the cease of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.
In Pakistan, the faithful crowded into mosques and prayer grounds on Saturday to provide prayers and sacrifice goats and cows.
Security changed into tight, as religious extremists have finished bombings throughout the u . S . In recent years.
“Today, we’re here to offer Eid prayers,” stated Saleem Ahmed at a rite in Karachi, Pakistan’s biggest city, Reuters said. “The safety preparations were very good. May Allah approve our prayers.”
eid ul adha pics hd In the Christian and Jewish version of the tale, Abraham is ordered to kill another son, Isaac.
Muslims rejoice the Adha, Arabic for “sacrifice,” through slaughtering domestic animals like sheep and distributing the beef to the negative, as a symbol of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his most effective son.

The result is a booming preholiday change in goats, cows and sheep. In Pakistan, a rustic of about 208 million humans, almost 10 million animals, worth greater than $3 billion, are slaughtered all through the 2 days of Eid al-Adha, in keeping with the Pakistan Tanners’ Association.
Observers are also required to make donations to charities.

Eid al-Adha marks the climax of the hajj, the sacred journey to Mecca undertaken by using approximately million Muslims each year.
It is one of the five pillars of Islam, and need to be undertaken by using every Muslim who can come up with the money for to achieve this.
In Afghanistan, Eid al-Adha is being celebrated amid apprehension in the capital, Kabul, wherein a string of suicide attacks has killed greater than two hundred humans this 12 months.

The Octagonal Suite is one of 13 apartments in The Mansion at Ottershaw Park. The original house was constructed in 1761 with the current Mansion House replacing this building in 1910. Built in the Palladian style and highly embellished both externally and internally for the new owner Baron Eckstein. The house is situated in an elevated position and boasts breathtaking views over the Surrey countryside.
Historically the house was given over for use as a hospital during World War I, a college after WWII and most recently a school until 1980 when it was converted into residential units.
The apartment occupies the central core of the first floor accessed either by lift or the grand central staircase with original stained glass windows and wood panelling. The Mansion apartments very rarely become available and retains a settled community.
A skilful and meticulous refurbishment has seen The Octagonal Suite go through a clever redesign and development project to provide a stunning home and luxurious retreat.
The apartment displays some impressive original features with a beautifully restored parquet wood flooring, re-conditioned sash windows and recessed shutters, 3m high ceilings with intricate detailing and plasterwork that have been painstakingly repaired and restored, characteristic wood panelling and a selection of open marble fireplaces.
From the moment you walk through the front door the property welcomes you with an impressive reception hall, exuding quality, immediately noticeable in the detail. Soft lighting recessed behind coffers sets the mood and irresistible Flame Mahogany doors lead off to each of the principle receptions and bedroom quarters.
To the right of the reception hall, the state of the art kitchen is open plan with the dining room and carefully combines a modern handmade kitchen with the Palladian styling, original marble surround fire place and matching pair of inset mahogany cabinets. Double doors lead you onto the west terrace, with exclusive use an ideal spot for enjoying the sunset whilst entertaining guests or relaxing with a drink.
The grand Octagonal room centrally located is linked to both the kitchen/dining room and reception hall and with its tall windows offers panoramic views over the Italianate gardens and the Surrey Hills.
The master suite is located on the east side of the apartment and draws in the morning sun. The bedroom has exclusive use of the east terrace, an ideal spot to enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee. The master suite is cleverly split with an impressive floating wall to create a dressing room with a range of bespoke inbuilt wardrobe storage, dresser and mirrored panelling. The en-suite marble bathroom is finished to a very high standard with German & Italian sanitary ware.
In addition there is a separate utility room, guest cloakroom, second bedroom suite and a study or third bedroom.
Externally the apartment is set within beautiful manicured formal gardens with a water feature making this a tranquil space to sit and enjoy. There are about 16 acres of meadows beyond, two tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool and recreation room to be enjoyed by the Mansion House residents.

An appropriate geomembrane liner will allow a landfill to safely and securely handle waste. Landfills are essential to proper waste management, so they are carefully engineered and built to effectively handle and keep waste. Landfill liners are specially designed and crafted for that purpose to avoid certain liquids from garbage and waste from seeping further into the soil to contaminate groundwater and the surrounding environment. In fact, the landfill liner is one of the four crucial elements in creating a secure and safe landfill.
Also known as the ‘bottom liner’, the landfill lining can either be made of a synthetic material or clay. It is important to consider the material and composition of the product to make sure that it can efficiently prevent toxic byproducts and leachate from migrating to the top soil, nearby bodies of water, and local sources of water. Some landfill liners are used as cap covers, too. Cap covers provide secondary protection against contamination. Likewise, landfill cap covers can help retain gases, which are produced by toxic byproducts. The gases may then be used for electricity conversion.
Landfill liners can be versatile and serve as rain covers, too. These are especially made to prevent runoff rainwater, which may cause contaminants to migrate into other areas. Reputable providers of landfill liners offer products that are made of PVC, which is known for its excellent conformity, elongation, and weld-ability. It is highly impermeable, too, and this is an important aspect of landfill containment.
We also provide landfill daily covers, also known as “alternative daily covers” or landfill cap covers. We usually recommend our high quality Aqua series of Reinforced Polyethylene (RPE) for these applications.
PVC landfill liners are offered in very large panels, so you can reduce installation costs and minimize the chances of any possible leaks. Some manufacturers can customize PVC liners with special features such as fish safe and oil resistance properties. RPE (reinforced polyethylene) is another material that is used in landfill liners, particularly for rain covers. It has an excellent tear and chemical resistance.

Microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals has resulted in two distinctive structures: hexagonal bi-pyramidal (HBP) and nano-sheet (NS) shapes from Zn(CH3COO)2 solutions containing triethanolamine or benzene tetracarboxylic acid as structure directing agents, respectively. Observation by field-emission scanning electron microscope, high resolution transmission electron microscope as well as analysis of selected area electron beam diffraction patterns revealed that the predominantly exposed facets of HBP and NS ZnO are (102) and (100) faces, occupying 84 and 76% of the total surface area, respectively. Adsorption of D149 and eosin Y photosensitizer dyes onto HBP and NS ZnO was studied in comparison with a randomly structured commercial ZnO nanocrystal (MZ). Density of dye packing was found to be in the order of HBP > MZ > NS, for which HBP was 2 to 5 times higher than NS. Consequently, dye-sensitized solar cells employing HBP ZnO exhibited the highest short circuit photocurrent, but also the lowest open circuit voltage. By contrast, the DSSCs employing NS ZnO exhibited the highest voltage among the three.

Google gave us our first official peek at the Pixel 4 last month, but it didn't say anything about a Pixel 4 XL. Today there's some good news for fans of the big Pixel, though.
Renders that claim to show the Google Pixel 4 XL have made their way online. The images are based on factory CAD drawings via Pricababa and OnLeaks, and they show a design with a few notable changes from the Pixel 3 XL.
Perhaps the most notable difference is that there's no notch here. The Pixel 3 XL had a large notch at the top of its display where its two front cameras lived, but for the Pixel 4 XL, it looks like Google will be returning to a regular bezel like on the Pixel 3. While some folks would probably like to see Google go with an edge-to-edge display on the Pixel 4 XL, getting rid of the Pixel 3 XL's notch will likely make a lot of folks happy.
In that bezel, we can see dual front cameras as well as a couple sensors that could be used for face unlock.
The back of the Pixel 4 XL is missing the rear fingerprint reader found on the Pixel 3 XL, hinting that Google is either using an in-display fingerprint sensor or going all-in on face unlock. And then there's the rear camera setup, which includes two main sensors — one of which may be a telephoto snapper — and a third that looks like it could be a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor that can help capture depth info.
There's no 3.5mm headphone jack to be found on this Pixel 4 XL design, just like on the Pixel 3 XL. There are no front-firing speakers, either, with Google placing speaker grilles on either side of the USB-C port on the bottom of the phone.
Today's report claims that the Pixel 4 XL will include a 6.25-inch screen and will have dimensions of 160.4 x 75.2 x 82.mm. To compare, the Pixel 3 XL has a 6.3-inch screen and measures 158 x 76.7 x 7.9mm.
These Pixel 4 XL changes are a bit of a mixed bag. Lots of folks will be happy to ditch the Pixel 3 XL's notch, and the additional rear cameras could help make the Pixel 4 XL even more attractive for taking photos. However, the loss of front-facing speakers is sure to be a bummer for a lot of people.
What do you think of this leaked Pixel 4 XL design?

Multi-million dollar upgrade planned to secure 'failsafe' Arctic seed vault
No seeds were damaged but the incident undermined the original belief that the vault would be a “failsafe” facility, securing the world’s food supply forever. Now the Norwegian government, which owns the vault, has committed $4.4m (NOK37m) to improvements.
The vault is buried 130m inside a mountain in the Svalbard archipelago and contains almost a million packets of seeds, each a variety of an important food crop. The vault was opened in 2008, sunk deep into the permafrost, and was expected to provide protection against “the challenge of natural or man-made disasters” and “to stand the test of time”.
But the vault’s planners had not anticipated the extreme warm weather seen recently at the end of the world’s hottest ever recorded year. “The background to the technical improvements is that the permafrost has not established itself as planned,” said a government statement. “A group will investigate potential solutions to counter the increased water volumes resulting from a wetter and warmer climate on Svalbard.”
One option could be to replace the access tunnel, which slopes down towards the vault’s main door, carrying water towards the seeds. A new upward sloping tunnel would take water away from the vault.
A former Svalbard coal miner, Arne Kristoffersen, told the Guardian most coal mines on the islands had upward sloping entrance tunnels: “For me it is obvious to build an entrance tunnel upwards, so the water can run out. I am really surprised they made such a stupid construction.”
Hege Njaa Aschim, the Norwegian government’s spokeswoman for the vault, said: “The construction was planned like that because it was practical as a way to go inside and it should not be a problem because of the permafrost keeping it safe. But we see now, when the permafrost is not established, maybe we should do something else with the tunnel, so that is why we have this project now.”
An initial $1.6m will be spent on investigating ways to improve the access tunnel, with the group’s conclusions delivered in spring 2018. “They are going in with an open mind to find a good solution,” said Aschim. “$4.4m is for all the improvements we are doing now.” The vault cost $9m to build.
A transformer station, which gives off heat, has already been moved out of the tunnel, and drainage ditches are to be dug into the mountainside above the seed vault, to channel melt water away from the tunnel. A waterproof wall is also to be constructed inside the access tunnel to provide extra protection for the seed vault itself.
“The measures form part of a long-term plan to provide additional security to the seed vault, based on a precautionary approach,” said the government statement.
The vault was supposed to be able to survive without the need for human intervention, but is currently being watched 24 hours a day, with pumps readied to remove any water. Aschim said the seeds would remain safe at the -18C temperature in the deep vault: “But to be sure, and to take precautions in case something happens, we are doing these other measures now to protect the seeds from anything.”
Kristoffersen began work in 1980 in coalmine Number 3, which later became the site of a pilot seed storage project that preceded the construction of the Global Seed Vault. He said he took part in an initial planning meeting for the seed vault but was not involved in the subsequent development of the plans.
“The whole reason for the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard in the permafrost area is it has to be self sufficient, in case of a really big disaster in the world,” he said. “[If] all the humans in the lower part of the world are destroyed, perhaps a 100 years later the survivors can come here and find the seeds. The seeds will be OK as they are in the [deep] permafrost layer. But as it is today, the whole entrance will be filled up with water and this will freeze and it will be blocked after a few years, so it will not be possible to get into the seed vault. There will be a big iceberg in the tunnel.”
“The solution is easy and I give it for free,” Kristofferson said. “Make a new access tunnel going upward so the water can run out, not into the seed bank. It is not very hard, but it will cost a lot of money.”

Sound — 6
When I heard The Reverend was making another CD, I was Off the wall! Being a huge fan of these guys, I was extatic, but when the Album was finally in my hands, I was somewhat upset. It doesn't really sound like the old RHH that we know and love. It has some good songs but it just isnt the same. There is alot more country on this album than his other albums. 01. Happy Camper: great song to start with, the guitar craftsmanship in this song is amazing! 02. Revival: the Albums title song, one of the best on the CD. Great solo and Lyrics. 03. Callin' in Twisted: one of the few exsamples of a classic rev sound on this album. Funny lyrics and well composed 04. If It Ain't Got Rhythm: another exsample of classic rev, I`m not really a big fan of the vocals though. 05. New York City Girls: this is an interesting song for the rev, preformance by these guys. 06. Indigo Friends: I think this is my favorite song on the album, There isnt anything really bad about it. 07. Someone in Heaven: well, this is depressing. 08. Octopus Mode: really good song, vocals are awesome and the guitar is very suiting. 09. Party Mad: the reverend should not use piano! 10. Honky Tonk Girl: this song really doesnt sound a thing like something these guys would write. Not too bad though. 11. Lonesome Man: very well crafted song, for some reason i love the way scott plays the drums in this one. 12. I'm Your Pet Rock: this is my second favorite song on the album. awesome guitar and helarious lyrics. 13. Rumble Strip: not a very big fan of this song, it has its moments though. Bass is great in this song. 14. We Belong Forever: this song was so obviously written to be played at weddings. May be my least favorite song on the album 15. Goin' Back Home: I wish all the songs on the album were more like this one, high energy and well made.
Lyrics — 9
On this album, the lyrics really stand out. They arnt as good as many of the reverends other lyrics but they ore the only true thing in this album that kicks you in the teeth. Jim sounds great as well, it is easy to tell that he is ageing, but for his age, he shows us how it is done.
Overall Impression — 7
Compaired to other albums by these guys, this one is my least favorite, but that may just be because of my age. This CD is definately directed towards adults. There are some very good songs on the CD, like Revival, Pet Rock, and The Happy Camper, but there are also some let downs, but only a few. There isn't really anything to hate about this cd, although some of the songs are very lovable. If the CD was ever stolen from me, I would consider buying another copy depending on if all the tracks were still on my computer.

Her bubbly personality and warm nature endeared her to millions of Love Island viewers over the last two months.
And now it looks like reality show champ, Dani Dyer, has hit pay dirt thanks to her charming relationship with pen salesman Jack Fincham.
Dani, who is the daughter of Eastenders star Danny Dyer, has already surpassed her father’s level of fame with more than double his Instagram followers!
Over the summer, she has garnered 2.2m followers on the social media site and is set to make up to £1.5m in endorsement deals and TV projects after winning the show.
The 22-year-old and her beau have reportedly been offered their own spin-off reality TV show although it is yet unknown if they’ll agree to it.
However, as well as the £25k she scooped on Monday night’s final, she and Jack will also earn plenty of cash from club appearances and TV interviews.
The Mirror reports that her father, who has been in the TV industry for over two decades, plans to help her carve out her own career rather than relying on being part of a double act.
Another starlet from the villa who looks set to make a pretty penny is model Megan Barton-Hanson.
The 24-year-old was at the centre of some of the most controversial moments from the series and made headlines for her saucy antics and her surgically-enhanced beauty.
The Daily Star claim that she could earn up to £2m thanks to modelling offers, a calendar, hair and beauty endorsements and other TV work.
What happens to the rest of them remains to be seen but we’re personally backing Wes Nelson as the Strictly Come Dancing champion 2019.
Did you see his moves during the salsa clips? Those hips don’t lie…

Home Guard potatoes were first introduced during the Second World War due to their consistent high yields, great taste and high resistance to scab and spraing. They are a good all rounder as they can be used for boiling, baking and roasting to name a few! Home Guard potatoes are oval, have shallow eyes, with white skins and flesh.
First early seed potatoes have the shortest maturing time from as little as 60 – 110 days. These are often enjoyed as new potatoes because of their thin skins and most varieties are best eaten as soon as they are harvested.
Our 2kg packs contain between 20 to 25 tubers graded 35 to 60 mm.
Here is an idea for the planting and harvesting times for our seed potato varieties;

By Nayeem Showkat Khan
Going beyond the stereotype of Urdu – inordinately influenced by ‘emotionalism’ and ‘protest journalism’, Shafey Kidwai in his book ‘Urdu Literature and Journalism: Critical perspectives’ has given the language a new life in its old age. Kidwai has creatively nurtured the critical analysis of the top critics to highlight its diversity and has not only brought the language under a brand new light but has further enlarged the fading dimensions.
He has discussed the growth of Urdu from leaps to bounds, shifts from romanticism to Progressive Writers, to modern day writing, and then rued the fact that Urdu bore the brunt of Partition and fell from frying pan into the fire due to ‘step-motherly treatment’ in its own homeland.
“Jis ahad-e-Siyasat ne yeh zinda zubaan kuchli
Us ahad-e-siyasat ko marhoomon ka gham kyun hai?
Ghalib jise kahte hain Urdu ka hi shayar tha
Urdu par sitam dhaakar Ghalib par karam kyun hai? ”
“Jin shahron mein goonji thi Ghalib ki nava barson
Un shahron mein ab Urdu benaam-o-nishaan thehri
Azadi-e- kamil ka ailaan hua jis din
Matoob zubaan thehri ghaddaar zubaan thehri”
(At death anniversary of Ghalib in Agra, Sahir Ludhianvi: 1969)
Kidwai’s commentary, first of its kind, has left no stone unturned to assert how Urdu literature denotes the plurality in interpretations and a long list of writers of the language having a unique ontological orientation.
The book gives ample coverage to Ghalib, Firaq, Faiz, Iqbal, Rabindranath Tagore, Munshi Premchand, Manto and Kalam, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Josh.
In Nayier Masood’s fiction one encountered order, neatness and decorum. Referring to his writings, Kidwai writes, “Dealt with magic realism which redefines the sources of reality.”
Kidwai stated that many Urdu critics have defined Firaq as ‘impressionistic critic’ but for him he was using creative criticism or living criticism.
He claimed that many critics who could not evaluate thoroughly his writings and called him as the traditional critic who hardly discusses anything beyond the theme. Firaq focused on fundamental literary qualities of text and took into consideration the all possibilities of queries of reader. By rejecting the prevailing traditional theories he employed the fusion of various theoretical and critical frameworks and focused on the rediscovering experience of the writer. Finally, Kidwai concludes that Firaq should be categorized as ‘exponent of syncretic criticism’ and declares him as the first Urdu critic having eclectic views.
One full essay is dedicated to the literal knowledge of Noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Kidwai has acknowledged and narrated a detailed summary regarding the influence of Tagore on Urdu writers like Munshi Premchand (The famous ‘Kalam ka Sipahi’) and Josh. Based on some valid accounts by contemporary writers, Kidwai has drawn a crystal clear frame that both Dr Sir Mohammad Iqbal and Tagore influenced each other. In a letter to Abbas Ali Khan Lama Hyderabadi, praising Iqbal’s creative genius, reproduced by Kidwai, Targore wrote: “Being not conversant with the languages in which Iqbal wrote I could not understand the depth of his creativity and I could hardly dare to express my opinion about his poetry. Iqbal’s popularity prompts me to believe that his couplets are jewels that have the effulgence of the eternity of literature.”
As Rabindranath Tagore is worshipped by many as God, the book has smoked out his other side also by printing few lines of the Josh Malihabadi’s autobiography ‘Yaadon ki Baraat’, in which Josh has used a lot of ink to write his six months at Santiniketan with Tagore. Josh wrote, “He (Tagore) was obsessed with a thing that left me completely annoyed. It was his penchant for publicity. It always filled me with a deep sense of dislike. Whenever a foreigner came for his interview; he would sit at a high-up place after getting himself fully spruced up. Ambergris would light up behind him. Fully surrounded by beautiful girls he would give the interview in such a manner that the interview seeker would get the impression that he was speaking to a divinity.”
Unlike others, Kidwai has praised Jayant Parmar by calling him the first voice of Dalit poetry in Urdu and has provided an ample space to his unique achievements.
Kidwai has placed Ghalib above than William Shakespeare in the series of legends. “Dr Abdul Latif’s efforts to compare Ghalib with Shakespeare and some other western poets after critically looking at Ghalib’s English book ‘Ghalib’ were done in order to pin him down,” he notes.
Besides narrating the history of Urdu Journalism, the writer credits Sir Syed Ahmad Khan for being the first Urdu journalist to sow the seeds of Development Journalism. After critically analysing the articles written by the Sir Syed in his Aligarh Institute Gazette against the arrogant and self-conceited British officials, for which Syed received warning from the alien government, Kidwai questions branding of Sir Syed as an ally of the British. “Sir Syed’s pen was entirely directed towards alleviating the condition of Indians. How can a person who published spiteful articles against British be described as an apologist for the British rule?” Kidwai laments. With this well researched source of information, the author has set a new scene in the history of Urdu journalism.
The anthology of great thoughts and creative assertions, Shafey Kidwai’s book is a master piece in itself, one only needs to keep an English dictionary open in other hand while reading.

An RAF veteran is hoping to trace a long-lost friend from Paisley as he bids to get his old unit back together.
Morris Brand, 72, was one of 19 young lads who left home at the end of May 1961 to travel to RAF St Athan, in South Wales, for basic training.
Another one of the young men was John Flood, from Paisley, and Morris is desperate to reconnect with his old mate.
Morris, from Fife, says the group of 19 dispersed across the country after they completed training in December 1962.
But, after years of only intermittent contact, a major reunion is planned for this year and John is the only man the group has been unable to trace.
Morris explained: “In 2016, one of our colleagues starting looking for us and this culminated with a bit of a reunion in May last year, with 12 of us in attendance.
“It was so great that we have decided to hold another reunion in June.
“However, since our initial get-together, we have been searching for our missing colleagues.
“We have been successful in locating everyone with the exception of one.
“There were only three of us from Scotland — myself, one from Dumfries and one from Paisley.”
The boys were only 15 or 16-years-old when they joined up, with some serving 30 years in the Royal Air Force.
Last year, the group was able to trace another one of the Scottish contingent through our sister title, the Dumfries and Galloway Standard.
He added: “I located our colleague Jim Ferguson from Dumfries, who now lives in Cyprus and just happened to be back in Scotland when the Standard ran the story.
“John Flood is the last one of our group to be located and I am hoping Express readers can help.”
Morris is hoping someone out there might recognise John or know where he might be.
He said: “John left Paisley in May 1961 and travelled to RAF St Athan to start an 18-month training course as a member of 43rd Entry Boy Entrants of Mechanical Transport Mechanics.
“John — at that time — was around 5ft 7ins, of slim build and had ginger hair.
“I met him again in Cyprus in the mid-sixties but no-one knows of his whereabouts now. I remember him as a reader, not really sporty.”
He added: “There were 19 of us who graduated from St Athan in December 1962 — 55 years ago.
“We know one is sadly deceased.
“We have one who lives in Cyprus and two others in Australia and New Zealand.
“Our next reunion is planned for June this year and at present, everyone, 17 of us, will be in attendance and we are desperately trying to locate John to try and get him to the event.
“We have tried our Boy Entrants website and even various groups on Facebook but, so far, gave drawn a blank.
“If you can help in any way, we would be eternally grateful.”
If you can help, email Morris at firstname.lastname@example.org or call him on 07939 177967.

NEW YORK, June 27 (Reuters) - New York's highest court on
Wednesday upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit against Barclays Plc
and Standard & Poor's over two failed structured
investment vehicles that held subprime mortgage-backed
Oddo Asset Management, a French asset management
company, bought $50 million in notes from the two structured
investment vehicles, which were set up by Barclays, in 2005 and
2006. It lost all but $7 million of its investment when the SIVs
collapsed, according to court papers.
Oddo sued Barclays, S&P; and Solent Capital Limited, a
manager of one of the vehicles, in July 2008 in state court in
New York. It claimed Solent, aided by Barclays and S&P;, breached
its fiduciary duty to investors.
Oddo claimed Barclays offloaded subprime asset-backed
securities onto the SIVs knowing they would plummet in value,
and that S&P;, a unit of McGraw Hill Cos Inc confirmed
AAA ratings when it allegedly knew they were at risk of
New York state Supreme Court Justice Barbara Kapnick
originally tossed the suit and Barclays and S&P; appealed.
The Court of Appeals, New York's highest court, agreed with
lower courts, ruling on Wednesday that neither Solent nor
another manager, Avendis, owed a fiduciary duty to Oddo.
Therefore, Barclays and S&P; couldn't have aided and abetted a
breach of that duty.
"In hindsight, it is apparent that a greater degree of
vigilance was necessary from all concerned before soliciting
funds for, committing funds to, and rating esoteric entities
with little understood risks, such as SIV-Lites -- whose fate
was dependent almost exclusively on sub-prime residential and
commercial mortgage-backed securities," Jonathan Lippman, chief
judge of New York's Court of Appeals, wrote in Wednesday's
An attorney for Oddo did not immediately return a call
seeking comment. Barclays declined to comment. A representative
said S&P; was pleased with the decision. Solent could not
immediately be reached for comment.
The case is Oddo Asset Management v Barclays Bank, New York
state Supreme Court, New York County, No. 08-109547.

While We’re Young
Three shuttles a day leave Natura bound for Mars, and plenty of people trapped Downtown think like MIKE ORION—If I could just get on one of those… The undercity dream: escape this cold, servile life trapped in permanent darkness beneath the gigantic slab of Uptown, Natura’s exalted, authoritarian overcity.
Working Downtown at the Chaplain Hotel, Mike Orion stumbles into EDIE HAMILTON, a sharp young drunk who knows a source of free gin when she sees him. Nineteen years old, funny, quixotic, impulsive, and sensitive, Edie is no ordinary Uptowner: she is heir to the immense Hamilton Industries fortune.
Mike, 160 years old after decades on the life-extension drug Lysodol—a compound derived from lys, the foundational energy used to terraform Mars and other planets—is seduced by Edie’s charm, and falls for her. Edie likes Mike, and follows him home to sleep with him, and adores his company, but she doesn’t fall in love.
Edie, Downtown on one last bender, is preparing to leave Natura for good. Privileged and unrestricted, she is going to Mars, following the path of her idol YELSA MANOS. Yelsa, a famous android rights activist, wrote Edie’s favourite book: Heartless, a stirring memoir of Yelsa’s time with her android lover Rien.
Sympathetic to Mike’s lovestruck marriage proposal, Edie marries him and conveys to him her Uptown travel rights. But instead of relying on Edie, Mike accepts a job from his old friend ROBERT GOODIS, a secretive but generous businessman: Mike will escort a child android to the Martian city Tereshkova, and rendezvous there with Goodis.
The android shell looks like an eight year-old girl, but is animated by the long-lived, adult human mind of Goodis’s ex-lover, VELA LENN. Vela, a daredevil spirit, leased her body to a corporation that extracted her mind and stored it safely, but then lost her body in a covert smuggling operation. Goodis recovered Vela’s mind, but in the android shell it is going scatterbrained—a slang term for degenerative schizophrenia. While Mike and Edie wait for Vela to stabilise in the shell so they can leave for Mars, Edie falls maternally in love as if Vela were her child, a love that brings her the deepest fulfilment of her life.
Mike, Edie, and Vela rendezvous with Goodis in a hotel room in Tereshkova. Unable to recover Vela’s body, Goodis now carries out his longstanding promise to Vela to destroy her mind should her body die separately. Vela’s eventual death is to have fatal consequences for them all.


SANGSAD BHABAN Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Md Tazul Islam today informed the Jatiya Sangsad (JS) that four sewerage treatment plants will be built to check water pollution in rivers surrounding the capital city.
The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) has already formulated a sewerage master plan to check water pollution in rivers surrounding the capital city. As per the plan, four sewerage treatment plants will be built to this end he said, replying to a starred question made by Jatiya Party lawmaker Salma Islam in the House with Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.
Currently, as part of the master plan, a treatment plant titled 'Dasherkandi Sewerage Treatment Plant' is under construction, Tajul said, adding that after completion of the construction work, the pollution through direct discharging of waste to the rivers will be stopped in a great extend.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) interim president Peter Mutharika, former Cabinet ministers Goodall Gondwe, Jean Kalirani and interdicted Chief Secretary to Government Bright Msaka had their perjury case hearing adjourned to April 29 after they appeared at Lilongwe Magistrate Court on Tuesday.
The four suspects have not yet taken a plea and they also face treason charges alongside seven others.
The four first appeared in court last Thursday to take plea on the perjury charge but they failed after the defence lawyers protested and asked Chief Resident Magistrate Chinangwa to stop the proceedings.
The defence lawyers’ arguments were that since the accused person were already committed to the High Court, it would among several others be an abuse of court process, and a breach of a right to a fair trial.
After the state was given a go ahead to defend itself on why the case was back at the Magistrate Courts, Ralph Mhone, prosecuting lawyer for the State argued that what the defence team was doing in protesting against proceeding with the case in the Magistrate Court was to divert the real issue before the court.
He said in as far as the state was concerned the DPP has not breached any procedures, complied with all the legal requirements, acted within his legal powers and did not disrespect the law in bringing the perjury charges in the Magistrate Court.
Mhone said the DPP exercised his constitutional and legal powers when he asked the court to commit the trial to the High Court and also when he discontinued the perjury charge in the High Court.
However, after the submissions the proceedings could not go on after one of the defence lawyers Titus Mvalo asked for time to respond to the submissions of which the Chief Resident Magistrate adjourned the case to April 29 following a consensus of the two sides.
Unlike the first two court appearances which were characterised by hundreds of DPP supporters storming the court with political chants, on Tuesday the DPP presence was a bit mild with occasional chants especially when Mutharika arrived and also during his departure.

The demand for gender analysis is now increasingly orthodox in natural resource programming, including that for small-scale fisheries. Whilst the analysis of social-ecological resilience has made valuable contributions to integrating social dimensions into research and policy-making on natural resource management, it has so far demonstrated limited success in effectively integrating considerations of gender equity.
Land based aquaculture has the potential to mitigate future shortfalls of food fish supply in Solomon Islands. However, aquaculture is relatively new in the Pacific and such potential is hampered by a lack of aquaculture knowledge and practice within local cultures.
In this chapter, the authors examine whether the leather trade or other economic uses of crocodiles really are key to conserving the threatened crocodilians in the Asia Pacific region. They review six species of crocodile and the role of hunting, farming and other forms of exploitation in their management.

An ABS technical investigation, conducted at the request of a prominent Greek-based operator of LNG carriers, identified occasional, but infrequent, vibrations exceeding limits on a twin propeller LNG carrier fitted with super-efficient three-bladed propellers.
The issue was resolved in conjunction with the vessel’s classification society, engine designer and the shipyard.
The vibrations were identified during a second (gas) sea trial, when vibrations occasionally exceeding the ISO 6954 or ILO/MLC limits, were noted. The vibrations were infrequent and were not necessarily tied to a standard pattern, such as vessel turning or vessel RPM variation. Accordingly, vibration felt in accommodation areas would be smooth and measured below the limits but at times it would increase and remain above the limits. This confused both owner and yard who sought further advice from ABS.
Analysis of independent extended measurements of 5 minutes duration at various locations, such as the vessel’s bridge and captain’s day room, revealed that the vibration demonstrated an occasional, non-periodic frequency beating phenomenon between the two propeller Blade Passing Frequencies.
“While “frequency beating” is more widespread amongst twin-engined propeller airplanes, this engineering phenomenon can apparently happen aboard twin screw vessels as well, causing discomfort and interacting with various natural frequencies onboard”, said Dr Chris Leontopoulos, director of ABS Global Ships Systems Centre.
“Mathematically, this occurs when two periodic/harmonic signals synthesize with each other, adding their peaks and their troughs when in phase and nullifying or subtracting each other, when in anti-phase. In this case, this happened with the propeller blade passing frequencies synthesizing their magnitudes as they were approaching a vessel structural natural frequency”, Dr Leontopoulos added.
The identification of the phenomenon was complicated by its non-periodic nature, unlike most other frequency beating phenomena. The Beating occurred when the two propellers were not rotating at exactly the same speed, as commanded, either due to vessel turning or due to propellers interacting with sea currents.
“Although the propellers were commanded to run at the same speed, in practice variations in RPM were seen between the two propellers, such as 70 RPM against 70.5 RPM or 71 RPM, for example. The impact on crew welfare was marked – the shaking made computer monitors in the crew restroom unusable during these episodes”, Dr. Leontopoulos added.
In addition to the impact on crew welfare and efficiency, the phenomenon also risked amplifying structural fatigue pressures in the stern of the vessel or on lifeboat davits and other supports.
Dr. Leontopoulos noted the effect was likely to have been exacerbated by the twin 3-bladed propellers used by the vessel, which had a pulsation effect when the vessel was close to running speed.
ABS proposed that a newly developed systems software, called synchro-phasing, which uses the same technology principles as in multi-engined propeller aircraft, was introduced to optimize the relative phasing between the two propeller shafts.
This would eliminate the beating phenomenon without the need for electrical balancers’ installation or other similar vibration reduction technologies.
The two-stroke engine designer installed the synchro-phasing software system enhancement, at the request of the shipyard. Subsequently the vessel vibration problem was reported as “eliminated” by the crew and confirmed by a repeat of measurements.
The ship operator subsequently installed the same synchro-phasing software system enhancement to a number of other vessels in its fleet.
“The software controls the speed of the propellers for each individual powertrain. Shipowners and shipyards should give consideration to including it in their future specification”, Dr. Leontopoulos added.
