T-80U-M1 "Bars" bystrohoden and barely noticeable at least some areas, is capable of marches across vast distances and carried by all modes of transport.
In various countries takes to create new models of military equipment and new technologies stern attention is also drawn to the modernization of the samples are in service. This is explained by the presence of a significant amount of equipment, located in the troops, and the tendency to reduce the cost of procurement of new weapons is necessary to emphasize two more features in-1's, the current cycle of military equipment is very long (15-20 years), in-2, progress in a number of areas so large that no significant configuration allows the object type to achieve high quality improve its combat characteristics.
An example is the T-80, adopted by the Russian Army in 1976, this family of machines manufactured by the Omsk Production Association 'Transport Engineering Plant named after the October Revolution T-80U are completed, according to the Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev, more combat-ready divisions elite Russian army .
It was first laid significant potential for modernization Conceptual need to improve the combat and operational parameters are provided phased modernization of machines of this family now is the T-80U-M1 Bars, retaining the traditional layout scheme in which the main armament is located in a rotating turret, engine and box — in the rear of the hull, crew — separate tank commander and gunner — in the fighting compartment, and the driver — in the department of management.
Like its counterparts, the T-80U-M1 Bars bystrohoden and barely noticeable at least some areas, is capable of marches across vast distances and carried by all modes of transport.
The abundance of the requirements for the tank, and a wide range of purposes such as the degree of threat to the tank itself, and the level of their protection have led to a need to equip the machine more perfect weapon system, providing an enemy with both ground and air at a range of up to 5000 m
On the T-80U-M1 Bars' is set smoothbore gun — launcher type 2A46M caliber 125 mm, stabilized in the 2-planes due to increase rigidity barrel increased accuracy by 20 percent in the same time preserved the main components and parts commercially available, reliable and neotkaznoy gun 2A46M-1.
The modern fire control system 1A45 includes a laser range finder, wind sensors, the speed of the tank and goals, tilt, temperature, charge and protection, ballistic computer. This system in totality with a unique chassis with extreme smoothness allows for effective fire on rugged terrain at a speed of 35 km / h, and any position of the tower on this parameter family of tanks T-80 are unmatched.
Manages fire spotter in combat, but mounted on a tank guidance devices and aiming allow the commander to find a terrible goal, aim, regardless of the gunner, and by clicking the "Cueing" button on the remote control to deploy the tower and to cooperate with the gunner's line of sight to either take one hundred percent gun control over the mode ("Double"), and hit the target.
Complex guided weapons (IMC) allows virtually a 100 percent chance of hitting an armored or low-flying target missile, guided by a laser beam, at a distance of 5 km CHC 9K119 has overestimated noise immunity, characterized by simplicity of management and maintenance.
On the T-80U-M1 can be installed infrared night gunner's sight "Buran" or thermal sight Russian ("Agave-2") or foreign production. When installing thermal sight gunner and commander have the opportunity to fire a guided missile 9M119 a day or so and NIGHT MODE.
The autoloader provides a rate of fire of 7-9 rounds per minute. Abroad only in French tank "Leclerc" is set in the automatic loader conveyor carousel autoloader of the T-80U-M1 stacked 28 shots, while the French "Leclerc" and on the Russian T-90 — 22 shots.
Protected T-80U-M1 from modern anti-tank weapons due to:
• the combined multilayer protection upper front body parts and combined filler in the tower,
• complex integrated dynamic protection (WHD) hull and turret, also armored bulwarks with elements of ERA,
• active protection "Arena"
• staging system veils complex opto-electronic warfare "Blind-1."
Application ERA in 80 years has significantly increased the level of protection against chemical tank shells, but after the explosion, explosive reactive armor of the surface area of the main armor remains vulnerable to development of a system of active defense for the last 10-20 years was carried out in almost all countries. But only in Russia, they were brought to the production of ready-made systems, "Arena" — one of them. No analogues in the world of technical features, it is designed to protect tanks from anti-tank grenades and missiles, catapulting all types of infantry weapons, as from land and air missile systems, soaring at a rate of 70 to 700 meters per second, regardless of the system of management and species warheads
The complex "Arena," set on the T-80U-M1 "Bars", and cut one off from the commander's control panel, then all of the following operations are performed automatically. In addition to working in the main automatic mode, in critical situations, the commander can control it manually, for example, or for the destruction of obstacles to the creation of the short-range anti-infantry.
"Arena" protects the tank at least what the weather, in all combat criteria, including the movement and aiming, regardless of the angle at which weapons. The design of the radar scopes and information processing ensures the highest level of protection from interference, not responding to false signals and random acts only when there is a severe threat of danger or if the vehicle is flying directly to the tank.
Active protection system doubles the survivability of the "Leopard" and the use of tanks for peacekeeping and resolving local conflicts, when the enemy has available in the main light anti-tank weapons — in 3-4 times. The use of active protection "Arena", coupled with a complex optical-electronic suppression "Blind-1" increment protection allows the tank to 3-5.
Instead, the unit of radiation and chemical reconnaissance GO-27 to be installed on virtually all swatches Russian armored vehicles on the T-80U-M1 "Bars" is complex, wielding tremendous speed and sensitivity. Its technical service requests the least amount of work. The new small-size device and more than easy to use. The integrated control lets you quickly inspect the status of devices and receive information about the violation of the major no
Automatic fire system extinguishes fire for 150 milliseconds.
For connection to the T-80U-M1 fitted radio R-163-50U and radio R-163UP operating in the UHF spectrum in the anti-interference mode, in which there is an automatic search of the vast amount of previously selected channel frequency is determined, more free from interference. There is a channel for transmitting telecode info and radio on address lines.
Maneuverability and speed
T-80U-M1 " Leopard"Equip a multi-fuel gas turbine engine with a capacity of 1250 l. Hydrostatic transmission (GOP) (power density — 27.2 hp / t), which substantially exceeds the characteristics of both the Russian and zabugornyh tanks and causes supreme agility and mobility. Significantly greater than that of diesel engines in store torque eliminates the possibility of stopping the motor in case of overload and reduces the number of gear changes when driving on rough terrain.
The highest dynamic and acceleration features allow fast leave the zone of fire. Tank from place accelerates to a speed of 50 km / h in just 17-19 seconds, and the "jump seat" for 3 to 5 meters makes for 1 — 2 sec., which makes it possible ricochet projectile soaring. Experience in the use of T-80 in combat indicates that individual tanks kept up 5 hits projectiles and missiles, and continued to do their intended target. Compared with the T-80U "Bars" is more simple and comfortable to operate and maintain. In the near future it is planned to install a forced engine capacity of 1400 l / s.
GOP is designed to dramatically increase the turning ability, specific speed, maneuverability and reliability properties of airborne transmission (CVT) With the passage of the real route to get the win in the average rate of 12%, and the single turns — up to 33 percent. With all this turning radius is infinitely variable, sharply reduced the number of switches in the BCP rotation mode. Increased smoothness, and, consequently, increased accuracy.
Fuel consumption was reduced by 5-10%, with all this, the life of the units has increased:
• Boxes — 30%;
• Coil — 50%.
The number of controls is kept to a minimum — the steering wheel, pedal "gas" pedal. This allows the driver to focus on the road, on the ground, on the battlefield, it provides long-term performance. The control force decreased fourfold. Reduced fatigue, driver-mechanics on long marches.
The ability to implement different types of fuel (diesel, basic, kerosene — duplicate, petrol — spare) greatly simplifies the logistics units.
Auxiliary Power unit GTA-18 power of 18 kW ensures the functioning of all systems and systems of the tank in the parking lot at the muffled main engine.
In the conduct of the battle in defense of the introduction of an auxiliary power unit significantly reduces the level of infrared radiation, which significantly reduces the possibility of finding a tank with thermal sights.
Fuel consumption during the military operation is much lower flow rate in tanks filled with a conventional diesel engine without auxiliary power.
COMFORT AND ECONOMY
During operation of equipment in difficult weather criteria, namely in the areas with a tropical climate with excessive temperature and humidity, when not only the work, and simply human activity becomes difficult Russian military equipment without air abruptly loses his fighting properties. On the creation of the air conditioning system (SCR) for the tanks employee research and production enterprise "Krios" who participated in the design and manufacture of air-conditioning system of the orbital station "Mir".
Developed and installed on the tank "Leopard" SLE has inflated reliability under significant mechanical loads and the ability to carry out repairs in the field criteria.
Kondyuk developed for "Leopard" has a personal layout of cooled air to each crew member. In the end, only the cool work areas, not the entire internal volume of the tank. Among the advantages of such a system in comparison with the air-conditioning systems, general dilution type include: efficiency and the use of ventilated jackets in combination with flame retardant suit. Besides conditioning system not only cools the air, and drying it produces, in particular in the burning of hot climates and mokrovatym. The presence of the auxiliary unit GTA-18 allows you to include kondyuk parked without starting the main engine.
The tanks T-80 family can be installed The rubber track for the safety of road surfaces on the march on concrete and asphalt roads.
For the production of tanks for export worked out a number of activities that enhance their competitiveness in the global arms market. A distinctive feature of the family of T-80U — the ability to order them in various configurations with the test and the ability of the buyer country.

Focusing on environmental tritium levels, measurements have been made for several natural water and leaf samples from an area where no tritium industrial discharge was known to occur. Therefore, to obtain sufficiently accurate data tritium was determined from large samples. Moreover, tritium measurement at environmental level requires appropriate methodology to avoid any contamination. Both tissue free water tritium (TFWT) and organically bound tritium (OBT) were determined for biological samples and compared to preliminary or literature data. In this paper, the authors describe both:

The competition for a place in the Indian team is perhaps the toughest in the world. Add to it the mercurial nature of selections and some of the unusual, unexpected, shocking calls that the selectors and the management sometimes make, it makes life of a fringe player really uncertain.
India have had some really talented players who debuted in ODIs in recent years, but couldn’t live up to the expectations and remained inconsistent, leading to their ouster. Such is the state of these players, that now they wouldn’t find themselves in contention even in India’s second-string ODI side.
Here are 3 talented players who may never play ODIs for India again:
One of the most talented, classy, and high-ceiling players to have played ODIs for India is Manish Pandey. However, the career of the Karnataka batsman didn’t pan out as he and many others had expected it to.
In just his third ODI innings, Pandey cracked a memorable match-winning century in Sydney in 2016. After that, however, in his next 20 ODI knocks, he managed just one fifty and barely made any significant match-winning contribution. During this time, he was dropped multiple times, but brought back in the side based on his domestic exploits, but couldn’t live up to the mark.
33-year-old Manish Pandey is unlikely to add any more caps to his 29 ODIs and 39 T20Is. With already a slew of batsmen, younger and in-form than Pandey, competing for a few places in the eleven and squad, Pandey is unlikely to don the India blue jersey again.
After a couple of impressive IPL seasons with SRH, right-arm fast bowler Siddarth Kaul played 3 ODIs in 2018 and went wicketless in all 3 matches, leaking runs at more than 6 runs per over. Kaul has an impressive List-A record: 180 wickets in 105 matches. But, with nothing to show in recent seasons in the IPL, Kaul is unlikely to make a comeback to the ODI side.
Krunal Pandya has had a terrific IPL career where he’s made contributions with both bat and ball. Krunal played 5 ODIs in 2021 when Jadeja was rested or injured and Axar Patel hadn’t made his rise yet. Pandya did well in his chances in those 5 ODIs: 130 runs at a strike rate of 101 and 2 wickets at an economy of 5.86.
However, the team management perhaps wasn’t impressed much and dropped him as Jadeja remained the first-choice left-arm spinning all-rounder. Soon Axar Patel and Washington Sundar made their mark and Krunal Pandya was out of India’s T20I team as well.
With Jadeja currently owning a spot in the line-up, and Axar and Sundar waiting in the wings, it seems higly doubtful that Krunal will ever return to India’s XI.

Dave Mathieson - TC Media
AMHERST – After falling behind the Truro Bearcats 2-0, it looked like it might be a long Maritime Hockey League Remembrance Day Monday for the Amherst CIBC Wood Gundy Rambler at Amherst Stadium.
“We came out slow in the start but we all rallied together and came together as a team and had six unanswered goals,” said Daniel Walsh, who scored a hat trick for the Ramblers in their 6-2 win.
Walsh said it felt good to get a hat trick.
“I haven’t scored in a couple of games, so it’s always nice when you can score a few in the same game.”
The Ramblers were down 2-0 midway through the first period when Ryan Caswell got the Ramblers on the board with an assist from Brock Morrison.
Brett Shute scored less than a minute later, tying the game 2-2 with assists from Ryan Caswell and Morrison.
Walsh then scored his first of the night, putting the Ramblers up 3-2 off assists from Cam McDonald and Willie MacDonald.
Brett Shute scored the only goal in the second period, with Morrison getting his third assist of the night.
Up 4-2 going into the third period, Walsh scored two more in the frame, giving his team the 6-2 win. The first goal was unassisted and Shute and Jamie Bishop assisted on the sixth and final goal of the night.
Ramblers fans got under the skin of the Truro bench. Near the end of the second period, Bearcats head coach Shawn Evans brandished his 2013 Fred Page Cup championship ring at fans sitting in the seats behind the net closest to the visiting bench.
“It’s always good to play in our own building,” said Jim Bottomley, Ramblers coach and general manager. “We respect the fans and they respect us. They’re always behind us and it’s like having another player.”
Bottomley was pleased with how his team responded after being down 2-0.
“The guys were shooting at the net tonight and we had guys going to the net and crashing the net, and we moved the puck a lot better,” said Bottomely.
The Ramblers fired 25 shots at Truro netmider Jacob Fancy, and Ramblers goaltender Richard Tingley faced 32 shots on the night.
“There have been other nights we had plenty of chances and couldn’t bury the puck but tonight the pucks went in the net,” added Bottomley.
Attendance at Monday’s game was 803.
November has been a busy month for the Ramblers.
“We’ve played six games in 11 days and it was nice to finish off with this big win,” said Bottomley.
The Ramblers won four of those six games, with their two losses coming at the hands of the Dieppe Commandos and the Pictou County Weeks Crushers. They lost 4-2 to Dieppe on Nov. 6, and 3-0 to the Weeks Crushers on Saturday.
The Ramblers next game is Saturday at Amherst Stadium where they will host the Bridgewater Lumberjacks.

Majority of lawmakers made more last yearDespite the economic slowdown, more than seven out of 10 Korean lawmakers and high-ranking civil servants saw their wealth rise last year due mainly to an increase in the value of their real estate assets and stocks, data showed Thursday.
The annual data, released by the Government Public Ethics Committee, showed that of the nation’s 1,800 public officials, 1,382, or 76.8 percent, reported an increase in their assets in 2016. Among them, 571 saw their wealth swell by 100 million won ($89,000) or more. The country’s public service ethics act requires senior government officials, lawmakers, heads of municipalities, members of local legislatures and senior judges to report their assets every year.
The average wealth of the high-level officials was tallied at 1.35 billion won ($1.2 million) as of the end of last year, up 76 million won from a year ago. The rise in their assets was largely attributed to the increase in their real estate holdings, shares, personal savings and inheritances, the committee said.
Former President Park Geun-hye reported assets worth 3.73 billion won last year, up 218 million won from the previous year. Her assets were reported to the committee late last year before her dismissal over a corruption scandal earlier this month.
In the past four years since Park took office in February 2013, her assets grew by nearly 1.2 billion won due in part to the rise in the value of her private house in Samseong-dong, southern Seoul, her deposits at local banks, and royalties from her autobiography published in 2007.
Heo Seong-joo, the director of the Seoul National University Dental Hospital, turned out to be the wealthiest senior public official with assets valued at 20.7 billion won. He was followed by Kim Hong-sub, the head of the Jung Ward Office in Incheon, with 19.4 billion won in wealth.
Lee Ryun-joo, a presidential secretary for national assignments, topped the list of well-heeled central government officials with 10.1 billion won in assets. The average wealth of senior presidential secretaries came to 1.55 billion won. Lee was trailed by Kim Hak-kyun, a standing member of the Financial Services Commission, who reported 9.7 billion won in assets.
Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, who is acting president, posted 2.52 billion won in assets last year, up 360 million won from a year ago. The average wealth of senior officials at his office was tallied at 1.52 billion won.
Rep. Kim Byoung-gwan of the largest Democratic Party topped the list of wealthy lawmakers with personal assets totaling 167.8 billion won. Kim previously headed Webzen, a local game developer.

The demonstrations in Brazil began after a small rise in bus fares triggered mass protests. Within days this had become a nationwide movement whose concerns had spread far beyond fares: more than a million people were on the streets shouting about everything from corruption to the cost of living to the amount of money being spent on the World Cup.
In Turkey, it was a similar story. A protest over the future of a city park in Istanbul – violently disrupted by police – snowballed too into something bigger, a wider-ranging political confrontation with prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which has scarcely been brought to a close by last weekend's clearing of Gezi Park.
If the recent scenes have seemed familiar, it is because they shared common features: viral, loosely organised with fractured messages and mostly taking place in urban public locations.
Unlike the protest movement of 1968 or even the end of Soviet influence in eastern Europe in 1989, these are movements with few discernible leaders and often conflicting ideologies. Their points of reference are not even necessarily ideological but take inspiration from other protests, including those of the Arab spring and the Occupy movement. The result has seen a wave of social movements – sometimes short-lived – from Wall Street to Tel Aviv and from Istanbul to Rio de Janeiro, often engaging younger, better educated and wealthier members of society.
What is striking for those who, like myself, have covered these protests is often how discursive and open-ended they are. People go not necessarily to hear a message but to take over a location and discuss their discontents (even if the stunning consequence can be the fall of an autocratic leader such as Egypt's Hosni Mubarak).
If the "new protest" can be summed up, it is not in specifics of the complaints but in a wider idea about organisation encapsulated on a banner spotted in Brazil last week: "We are the social network."
In Brazil the varied banners underlined the difficulty of easy categorisation as protesters held aloft signs expressing a range of demands from education reforms to free bus fares while denouncing the billions of public dollars spent on stadiums for the 2014 World Cup and the Olympics two years later.
"It's sort of a Catch-22," Rodrigues da Cunha, a 63-year-old protester told the Associated Press. "On the one hand we need some sort of leadership, on the other we don't want this to be compromised by being affiliated with any political party."
As the Economist pointed out last week, while mass movements in Britain, France, Sweden and Turkey have been inspired by a variety of causes, including falling living standards, authoritarian government and worries about immigration, Brazil does not fit the picture, with youth unemployment at a record low and enjoying the biggest leap in living standards in the country's history.
So what's going on? An examination of the global Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a loose correlation between the ranking of a country on the trust scale and the likelihood of protests. The trust barometer is a measure of public confidence in institutions compiled by the US firm Edelman, the world's largest privately owned PR company.
In 2011, at the time the Occupy movement was being born in Zuccoti Park on Wall Street, the UK and the US were both firmly placed at the bottom of the "distrusters" while Brazil topped the "trusters". By this year Brazil had dropped 30 points on the table, while Spain and Turkey, which have both seen protests this year, were both in the distrusted category.
Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC2's Newsnight and author of Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere: The New Global Revolutions, has argued that a key factor, largely driven by new communication technologies, is that people have not only a better understanding of power but are more aware of its abuse, both economically and politically.
Mason believes we are in the midst of a "revolution caused by the near collapse of free-market capitalism combined with an upswing in technical innovation" – but not everyone is so convinced.
What does ring true, however, is his assertion that a driving force from Tahrir Square to Occupy is a redefinition of notions of both what "freedom" means and its relationship to governments that seem ever more distant. It is significant, too, that many recent protests have taken place in the large cities that have been most transformed by neoliberal policies.
Tali Hatuka, an Israeli urban geographer, whose book on the new forms of protest will be published next year, identifies the mass mobilisations against the Iraq war in 2003 as a turning point in how people protest. Hatuka argues that, while previous large public protests had tended to be focused and narrow in their organisation, the Iraq war protests saw demonstrations in 800 cities globally which encompassed and tolerated a wide variety of outlooks.
"Most recently," Hatuka wrote in the journal Geopolitics last year, "this spirit has characterised the Arab spring and New York's Occupy Wall Street, which were protests based on informal leadership and a multitude of voices."
"Up to the 1990s," she said last week, "protests tended to be organised around a pyramid structure with a centralised leadership. As much effort went into the planning as into the protest itself. And the [impact on the] day after the protest was as significant as the event itself. Now protest is organised more like a network. It is far more informal, the event itself often being immediate."
Hatuka cautions against generalising too much – distinguishing between the events of the Arab spring, where mass protests were able to remove regimes, and protests in western democracies. But she does point to how the new form of protest tends to produce fractured and temporary alliances.
"If you compare what we are seeing today with the civil rights movement in the US – even the movements of 1989 – those were much more cohesive. Now the event itself is the message. The question is whether that is enough."
She suspects it is not, pointing to how present-day activism – from the Iraq war demonstrations onwards – has often failed to deliver concrete results with its impact often fizzling out. Because of this, current forms of protest may be a temporary phenomenon and may be forced to change.
Another key feature of the new protests, argues Saskia Sassen, a sociology professor at Columbia University, New York, is the notion of "occupation" – which has not been confined to the obvious tactics of the Occupy movement. Occupations of different kinds have occurred in Tahrir Square, Cairo, in Gezi Park, Istanbul, and during widespread social protests in Tel Aviv, the Israeli capital, in 2011.
"Occupying is not the same as demonstrating. Many of the [recent] protests made legible the fact that occupying makes novel territory, and thereby a bit of history, using what was previously considered merely ground," Sassen wrote recently. "Whether in Egypt, the US, or elsewhere, it is important that the aim of the occupiers is not to grab power. They were and are, rather, engaged in the work of citizenship, exposing deep flaws and wrongs in their polity and society.
"This is a very peculiar moment," Sassen told the Observer. "This form of protest is very amorphous in comparison with the movements that came before." She argues that one distinguishing factor is that many of the protest movements of the past decade have been defined by the involvement of what she calls "the modest middle class", who have often been beneficiaries of the systems they are protesting against but whose positions have been eroded by neoliberal economic policies that have seen both distribution of wealth and opportunities captured by a narrowing minority. As people have come to feel more distant from government and economic institutions, a large part of the new mass forms of dissent has come to be seen as an opportunity to demonstrate ideas of "citizenship".
"Often what people are saying is that you are the state. I'm a citizen. I've done my job. You're not recognising that."
Sassen's belief that many of the recent protests are middle-class-driven appeared to be confirmed overtly – in the case of Brazil, at least – by President Dilma Rousseff, when she acknowledged that the new middle classes "want more and have the right to more".
For an older generation of political theorists, as Sassen admits, not least those from a Marxist background, the current trends have sometimes been puzzling. "I remember talking to [British Marxist historian] Eric Hobsbawm – a dear friend. He asked me: 'What's up [with Occupy]?' I said it is a very interesting movement. But his reply was: 'If there is no party, then there's no future.'"
Indeed, it was precisely this concern two years ago that led Malcolm Gladwell – in a controversial essay for the New Yorker, Small change: why the revolution will not be tweeted – to ask a similar question: whether networks of activists modelled on social media and with "weak tie-ins" can sustain themselves in the long run.
"The old pyramid way of organising protests does have its limitations, but so too do the new ways of organising," says Hatuka. "Often it does not feel very effective in the long run. People will often go for a day or two and these protests are not necessarily offering an ideological alternative."

Buzz Saw Rig Made Using An Old Car
I put a hitch on front to tow it with a tractor or pickup. The transmission drives the rear end. There's a wheel on one end, elevated off the ground, that friction-drives a shaft that runs to the buzz saw blade. The emergency brake is used to keep the hub at the other end of the rear end from turning. The great thing about it was that there were no belts to worry about. I could adjust the friction of the tire by adjusting air pressure in the tire. To control speed, I just adjusted the idle on the carb. (Ted Slaght, 2247 Kum Hattin Rd., Putney, Vt. 05346)

1. You’re a Bookworm
Gemini is ruled by Mercury—the planet of writers and readers. As a Gemini, you’re like a curious child, always asking “Why?” Being more introverted though, you ask less of other people and choose to get lost in a novel instead. Whether you’re constantly checking out psychology books from the library, or keeping on top of all the latest bestselling fiction, you’re perpetually hungry for information. You’re likely the first person to declare her Reading Challenge on GoodReads every year and unlike your flaky Sagittarius friend, you actually pull through with your goal. You also love sending book recs to friends and come out of your shell a bit when you’re describing something you read and loved.
2. You’re a Total Nerd (and Probably Have a PhD.)
Geminis are smart—like, really smart. Once you become obsessed with something, you want to know everything about it, whether that’s collecting all the inside details on the making of Game of Thrones or completing a PhD. in Comparative Literature. Let’s face it: You probably have a few advanced degrees that you signed up for on a whim or at least have a DIY Masters from all those pop nonfiction books you’re constantly reading. Who needs an active social life when you’re vying to become an expert in everything?
3. You May Not Go to a Lot of Parties, But You’re Famous Online
You turn down a lot of party invitations because your gift of the gab translates better online than it does IRL. Seriously. Though you tend to clam up when an attractive stranger approaches you at a party, you have absolutely no problem flirting with mutuals on Twitter. You worry about other people judging your thoughts in the moment, but you never mind posting long, thoughtful captions on Instagram. Friends you’ve met online are probably shocked that your IRL persona is much more quiet, down to earth and reserved.
4. Your Sense of Adventure Comes Out in Relationships and With Those You Really Trust
Yes, you’re shy, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a sense of adventure. And though you might be satisfied with digging deep into the drama of Greek myth, you also like to go outside every so often. But because you (and even the more gregarious Geminis too) can find immense comfort in being alone, you need someone else to pull you out of the cave. Romance is always a wild ride for you and getting to know someone else one-on-one is one of your favorite intellectual undertakings. It’s in partnership (with a lover or your BFF) that you’re able to really let loose and perhaps do karaoke all night in a foreign city.

Carlos Santana Net Worth
Carlos Santana net worth: Carlos Santana is a Mexican and American musician who has a net worth of $50 million dollars. A songwriter and guitarist, Carlos Santana has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards during his career to date. He popularized the latin-fusion sound, a mixture of rock, salsa, and jazz in the late 60's and 70's with his band, Santana. He has released seven studio albums as a solo artist and twenty-one albums with his band. He was born Carlos Augusto Alves Santana on July 20, 1947, in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico. His family moved to San Francisco, California while he was in middle school. Carlos rose to fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana. Not only did he popularized the fusion of rock and Latin American music, but he also established himself as a guitar virtuoso. The Santana Blues Band made its debut performance in 1966, and he saw an enormous progress in a very short time as they were already playing at the legendary Woodstock festival by 1969. The quick popularity primarily came due to the unique sound they featured, i.e., melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms accompanied by percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not heard in rock music. Santana released twenty-one studio albums with his band and seven more as a solo artist. Having continued to work in these forms over the following decades, he experienced a major resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. His 1999 album "Supernatural" was an enormous success, selling more than 15 million albums in the US alone, and 30 million worldwide. That album was #1 in ten countries and won eight Grammys including Album of the Year. A naturalized American citizen since 1965, he spent most of his life being married to Deborah Santana who filed for divorce in October 19, 2007, after 34 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences". They had three children together, In December 2010 he married Cindy Blackman, Lenny Kravitz's drummer.

About Chesapeake Bay Retrievers - the dog and breed by Wingmaster Kennel
The most widely accepted theory on the origin of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is based on an account written by George Law whereby he tells a story of saving two Newfoundland pups and the crew from a
sinking British brigg off the Maryland coast in 1807. The male pup was given to Mr. John Mercer which
he named Sailor and then was passed on to Governor Lloyd. The female pup was named Canton,the name of the vessel which George Law was on and rescued the pups. Canton was given to Dr. James Stewart of Sparrows Point,Maryland. Sailor and Canton were bred with various canines that water fowlers were already using for retrieving. As the years went by the dogs’ descendants were bred with water spaniels, hounds and possibly other Newfoundland dogs to create the breed we know today as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. The American Kennel Club recognized this breed in the late 1800’s,creating the first sporting breed that originated in The United States of America.
Local legend puts a different twist on the theory of the origin of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Stories have been passed down through generations of shoremen that once lived on the Barrier Islands located off the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia. The legend goes that the pups survived a ship wreck, were adopted and raised by a family of otter and eventually mated with them. This theory would explain the Chesapeake’s oily coat, protective nature, fearlessness of rough seas and ice, and those webbed feet!

WAUSAU — For the third year in a row, a group of animal shelters in Wisconsin has launched a joint promotion in July, waiving adoption fees for adult cats.
The third annual “I Cat Believe It!” joint cat adoption promotion aims to save the lives of more than 1,000 homeless cats in July. Fourteen shelters in 12 Wisconsin counties are waiving adoption fees for adult cats (1 year or older) in July.
In both 2016 and 2017, participating organizations exceeded 1,000 cat/kitten adoptions in July, according to a Humane Society of Marathon County news release.
The initiative is in response to the dramatic peak of cat intake in the summer months. The Wisconsin Humane Society alone reports that they are caring for 950 cats, in comparison to about 350 cats in late January.
Interested in adopting? Visit the shelters’ websites to view available cats and learn more about the adoption process. The participating shelters include:

- Elmbrook Humane Society, ebhs.org
- Humane Animal Welfare Society, hawspets.org

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has called on the Australian Government to work closely with local communities and organisations such as The Fred Hollows Foundation to improve Indigenous health.
According to AMA President, Dr Steve Hambleton, "The AMA believes that non-government organisations such as Oxfam, The Fred Hollows Foundation, NACCHO, World Vision, and Save the Children have a successful history and the necessary hands-on experience to improve community capacity."
"Genuine community capacity-building requires significant resources, a long-term vision, and targeted government support to empower the local people. It requires a generational shift from dependence to self-reliance. But government agencies are not always the best choices for facilitating these generational changes," says Dr Hambleton.
The AMA's statement follows Prime Minister Julia Gillard's recent visit to the Northern Territory.
Work in Indigenous communities
In many Indigenous communities
across Australia, levels of poverty are comparable to those in some developing countries. In some parts of the country, between 65 and 70 per cent of Indigenous people die before the age of 65.
The Foundation's work in Indigenous communities focuses on tackling the social determinants of poor health and supporting the work of Aboriginal-controlled organisations and health services. Through a series of interrelated projects including eye health, community engagement and development, aural health, literacy, nutrition, women's development, and training and skills development, The Foundation is able to address the underlying causes of health inequity.
Professor Fred Hollows' ground-breaking work in Indigenous communities began in the 1970's with the National Trachoma and Eye Health Program which screened the eyes of about 62,000 Indigenous Australians over a period of three years.
Inspired by Fred's work, The Foundation is committed to working with Indigenous partners in 55 Indigenous communities across Australia to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous people.

Induction Glass Repair
The purpose of this test is to melt and patch glass on a steel susceptor. Induction heating can be used to fix cracks and other types of damage on glass covered susceptors.
The recommended equipment for this test is the UPT-SM5/200 with the HS-4 heat station.
4”(101.6mm) x 4”(101.6mm) x 12.7” (101.6mm) thick steel plate coated with blue glass.
Power: Up to 2.21kW
Temperature: 1600◦F (871◦C)
Results and Conclusions
During the pretest, the rate of heating was verified using a temperature controller with the control thermal coupler on steel and the second thermal coupler on glass to ensure the steel to glass gradient window was not excessive. Time to temperature will vary depending on the size of the steel plate being heated.
The power needed was over 2kW but this will change depending on the size of the steel and the heat rate that is desired.
See full process video for additional details.

The last seven days have been the best seven days for the Affordable Care Act in quite some time -- and maybe ever.
President Obama announced last week that more than eight million people had signed up for insurance via the federal marketplace, a surge of last-minute activity that not even the most optimistic administration allies could have hoped for. And, then there was the news from the Congressional Budget Office that the health-care law will cost $100 billion less than projected over the next decade.
Amid a (rare) victory lap on the law, Obama was asked whether the news of the past week meant Democratic candidates should run on the law this fall rather than away from it. His answer? "I think Democrats should forcefully defend and be proud of the fact....we're helping because of something we did."
So, should Democrats listen? Or is this Obama giving the only answer he can to a question about his signature legislative accomplishment in the first six years of his presidency? (Imagine the uproar if Obama had said anything other than that the law is basically good and Democrats can and should be proud of it?) We put that questions to a number of Democratic strategists -- and to a few GOP consultants -- doing work in the coming midterm elections.
"If you voted for Obamacare, you need to defend it and sell it," said Steve Elmendorf, a longtime Democratic Capitol Hill operative and now a lobbyist in D.C. "Running away won't work and being defensive [is] a bad idea. Sell it and sell it hard."
That sentiment has long been the private position of the White House. The idea that any incumbent Democrat can run from the law, they insist, is pure folly: No matter what he/she says about the law -- or even whether or not they voted for it -- won't matter. Republicans will attack the incumbent as a tool of Obama and a supporter of the ACA. Instead, Elmendorf argued, Democrats should embrace the popular parts of the law -- as a super PAC supporting Alaska Sen. Mark Begich did in this ad.
There is also a belief in Democratic political circles that while Obamacare was once a silver bullet-type issue for Republicans, those days have now passed -- and the GOP doesn't realize it yet.
"I think the ACA is not a winning issue for the Republicans," said Democratic pollster Anna Greenberg. "Not only is opinion about the ACA improving, but a majority of people oppose repeal." Added another prominent Democratic strategist: "We’re playing defense not offense on ACA but we can succeed doing so."
Republican operatives, not surprisingly, disagree.
"They HAVE to run on Obamacare," said Glen Bolger, a partner in the Republican polling firm Public Opinion Strategies. But, he added, that is a very bad thing. "The losers (people who have to pay more, often a lot more) will turn out and vote," argued Bolger. "Their votes are going to sting Democrats, because hurting the middle class has a way of kicking you in the butt. The winners from Obamacare – those who did not have health insurance but now do – are not typically midterm voters. "
Here's Bolger's argument made in chart form.
While the overall numbers for the law amount to a tossup -- 48 percent of registered voters support it, 50 percent oppose it -- the passion gap is readily apparent. Almost four in 10 voters who oppose the law do so strongly while less than three in ten support the law equally strongly.
"Some will benefit, many will not and be very angry about what they are now having to deal with," insisted Republican pollster Lunda Divall. "They will vote."
If you buy that the November midterm is shaping up as battle between the party bases -- and midterms traditionally are that -- then Democrats may have no choice but to run toward the health-care law this fall and 1) hope that the Democratic base closes the enthusiasm gap on the issue between now and November and 2) that independents, such as they are, like the "it's a good law with some problems that need to be fixed" argument rather than the "it's all bad" case Republicans are making.


Test and Burn-in
Electronic products have a limited life cycle, and manufacturers need to be able to predict that so that they can issue proper warranty. Several reasons can cause early failures in testing electric boards, including issues that can happen during the manufacturing process.
We understand how important it is to finish a project that is not only well-executed but durable as well, which is why we take pride in our test and burn-in process.
Why Do We Test Our Devices?
By testing all our components early on, can to eliminate faulty parts early on and maximize the product’s reliability. Because we perform tests on a component level, we are able to lower the cost of development and keep our prices competitive.
The most common causes of fails we were able to detect during our testing are conductor failures and dielectric failures, which usually manifest towards the end of the system’s life cycle. During our testing, automatic equipment pushes the device to its limits, determining if these faults manifest early on and eliminate components that cause them.
We execute the test in a special burn-in chamber (BiC), where the device is placed onto burn-in boards (BiB). We simulate what the device experiences during use,without actually operating it, by stressing the circuits to detect potential failures.
Our Testing Processes
To ensure the high quality of our products, we perform a complex testing operation consisting of:
- Board-level functional test
- System-level functional test
- Electrical and mechanical testing
- 3D X-ray with CT

At the end of the day, after fighting heroes and doing their wicked work, even baddies need to wind down. They catch up with friends, have a relaxing dinner, take a bath, read a book, even check under the bed for princesses! And after a lullaby, even baddies will drift off to sleep, and will hopefully dream (sour) dreams.
This was a really cute play on the typical bedtime story, and had some adorably silly laughs. I loved that all the baddies lived together in one castle, sharing their bedtime routines and taking care of one another – hilariously sweet. The art is wonderful, filled with its own humor and tons of charm. JJ enjoyed it, and the length was great, so this is a perfect book to show little ones that, yes, everyone has a bedtime, even the naughtiest among us. We really enjoyed this one, and it is Baby Bookworm approved!

“A Glorious Doctrine,” Liahona, October 2021
In October 1840, 34-year-old Vilate Kimball wrote a letter to her husband, Elder Heber C. Kimball of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “President [Joseph] Smith has opened a new and glorious subject … which has caused quite a revival in the church,” Vilate wrote to Heber, who was serving his second mission to Great Britain. The subject of Joseph Smith’s teaching on this occasion was baptism for those who hadn’t had the opportunity in their lifetimes.
“Joseph has received a more full explanation of it by Revelation,” she reported. “It is the privilege of this church to be baptised for all their kinsfolks that have died before this Gospel came forth.” Vilate celebrated the revelation that in doing these proxy baptisms for deceased family members, “we act as agents for them; and give them the privilege of coming forth in the first resurrection.”
The Kimballs had moved from New York to be with the Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, and then moved to Far West, Missouri. Just a year later, in 1839, they had to flee Missouri with thousands of other Latter-day Saints to escape persecution at the hands of violent mobs. They made their home in Nauvoo, hundreds of miles from where their journey had started.
Although their arrival in Nauvoo had been under trying circumstances, Vilate’s October 1840 letter to her husband was teeming with excitement. “I want to be baptised for my Mother,” she exclaimed. “I calculated to wait until you come home, but the last time Joseph spoke upon the subject, he advised every one to be up and a doing, and liberate their friends from bondage as quick as possible. … Thus you see there is a chance for all. Is not this a glorious doctrine?”
Vilate was one of the first women to be baptized for the dead in Nauvoo.

Behind-the-scenes: Youthlab & VOM
10 October 2020
What should youth detention in the future look like? Vrijheidsbeneming op Maat (VOM), a special group of the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice, addresses this important question. Youthlab took over their online meeting for one day, to help the core team relate better with the lives of youth . Due to the corona-related restrictions, the meeting took place online. YiP’s office turned into a true studio, with several break-out rooms. We are so proud that the experienced youths of the Youthlab had the courage to share their stories in such a short time.
In the break-out rooms, the core team members interviewed the youths about three theme’s: what their experiences were when they entered the correctional facilities, how they experienced the living and learning environment inside, and what it was like to be released again. In an open conversation, the professionals asked the young people: what did you think when you first walked into the detention center? What were your first impressions? What has helped you the most inside? And what are the biggest challenges now that you’re back in society?
We prefer to have an open conversation in real life, but nevertheless, we are grateful for the online possibilities to facilitate a meeting like this.

Official Synopsis from Goodreads: From the bestselling author of House of Shadows and The Phantom Tree comes a spellbinding tale of jealousy, greed, plotting and revenge—part history, part mystery—for fans of Kate Morton, Susanna Kearsley and Barbara Erskine
Lady Isabella Gerard, a respectable member of Georgian society, orders her maid to take her new golden gown and destroy it, its shimmering beauty tainted by the actions of her brutal husband the night before.
Three months later, Lord Gerard stands at the shoreline of the lake, looking down at a woman wearing the golden gown. As the body slowly rolls over to reveal her face, it’s clear this was not his intended victim…
250 Years Later…
When a gown she stole from a historic home as a child is mysteriously returned to Fenella Brightwell, it begins to possess her in exactly the same way that it did as a girl. Soon the fragile new life Fen has created for herself away from her abusive ex-husband is threatened at its foundations by the gown’s power over her until she can’t tell what is real and what is imaginary.
As Fen uncovers more about the gown and Isabella’s story, she begins to see the parallels with her own life. When each piece of history is revealed, the gown—and its past—seems to possess her more and more, culminating in a dramatic revelation set to destroy her sanity.
Genre: Historical Fiction, Suspense
Setting: 1760s and 2004 London and Swindon, England
***I received an eARC copy of The Woman in the Lake from the publisher, Graydon House, via NetGalley***
*** this post contains affiliate links ***
Review: A captivating but uneven read. The Woman in the Lake by Nicola Cornick is a fast-paced, compelling, twisty, back-and-forth in time historical suspense novel. One plot line is set during the 1760s, and the other during 2004, and the book bounces back-and-forth between these two timelines smoothly. I found the differing timelines easy to tell apart, and it was also easy to figure out which timeline I was in while reading. The characters are different, with the 1760s ones being far more cutthroat, conniving, and just downright unlikable, and the modern characters were easier to relate to.
Back in the 1760s, our narrators are Eustace Gerard, a wife-beating, mistress-keeping scumbag, his wife Isabella, who is self absorbed and has her own affairs, and Isabella’s maid, Constance, who has some surprises up her sleeve. Luckily we don’t hear a whole lot from Eustace, as he is truly despicable. Isabella and Constance I struggled with liking. Now, don’t get me wrong, they were fascinating to read about, but they were both so unlikable with their schemes and hidden motives that I really didn’t care about them. They are both somewhat unreliable narrators, and as the book goes along I wished for more explanations for both of their actions throughout. Some things, especially toward the end, I felt came out of nowhere, and didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
In the 2004 sections, our narrator is Fenella “Fen” Brightwell, a woman who is trying to escape her mysterious past, and also has a nasty habit of stealing. I thought that giving Fen the character trait of theft was intriguing. Fen is also an unreliable narrator, and in her chapters the book shifts and morphs and I found myself flipping back in the book and re-reading scenes as the story kept moving forward. So, I was hooked into the mystery of what exactly happened way back when, and how does that connect to Fen, and what on earth is going on with this special gown that everyone seems to be obsessed with. As I mentioned above, some things at the end felt glossed over and didn’t quite come together as seamlessly as they should have, but I couldn’t put this one down and thought it was quite fascinating!
Bottom Line: Fast paced and intriguing, if a bit uneven.

The problem I have with books that have two timelines that are quite far apart is chances are I didn’t live during the older timeline. Thus, it takes me forever to try and settle myself into the conventions of the time period. By the time I get myself there, they switch back to contemporary timeline and I’m all discombobulated. I want that old timeline to be as realistic as possible, and when I’m reading an old story I’m looking for all sorts of anachronisms. That’s hard to do when I flip flop. I might let a zipper during the 1700s pass me by.

Lots of people don’t like the back-and-forth in time books. I tend to love them – I love that look into the past and seeing how the past affects the present, but sometimes that format doesn’t work all that well. For example, when the two timelines are very similar – that’s when I have trouble with the different timeline aspect.
I liked the sound of the first story – of the body not being his intended victim. Not so sure the present-day story appeals though. That’s always my problem with dual timelines – I’m always more interested in one bit than the other…

I went into this read thinking I’d be more interested in the earlier time frame – with the mystery of the body, but I actually ended up enjoying the more modern story line better!
