“That's How I Love You”, “Audrey Came Back” and “We” were crowned Best Drama Series, Best Comedy and Best Annual Drama Series respectively at the 37th Annual Gémeaux Awards, Sunday, in a formula where the pandemic was no more than a painful memory.
The work of François Létourneau, praised during the Opening Gala in the afternoon for the latter's texts as well as for the production by Robin Aubert and Jean-François Rivard, obtained a total of nine Gémeaux out of the 13 nominations for in which it competed, making it the most successful production this year by members of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
“Audrey is back”, a series available on Club illico and also nominated 13 times, obtained a total of five Gemini, including best comedy, best text: comedy for Florence Longpré and Guillaume Lambert and best direction: comedy for Guillaume Lonergan at the Gala d 'opening. In the evening, during the main ceremony hosted for the ninth time by Véronique Cloutier, Denis Bouchard and Florence Longpré went on stage to give their respective thanks after winning the trophy for best male and female lead role: comedy. Florence greeted the two Guillaumes by describing them as incredible work accomplices and shared her prize with Josée Deschênes who plays her mother in “Audrey is back”.
The prize for the best annual series is went to “We” from Club illico, which was disconnected after just one season. The latest episodes of this work from Duo Productions are expected on the platform this fall. “Us” also earned Élise Guilbault and director Yannick Savard an award at the Opening Gala.
“La Tour” has a new star trio – Gildor Roy, Hélène Bourgeois Leclerc and Alexandre Barrette – but it is to the former captain, Patrick Huard, and his team that we gave the prize for the best program or interview series or talk show. The comedian was also named best host in this segment in the afternoon.
Interpretation: prizes for Luc Picard and Sandrine Bisson
Luc Picard, who bursts the screen in the suspense “Aller simple” by Noovo triumphed by leaving with the prize for best male lead role: drama series. Equally talented, Sandrine Bisson obtained the same statuette, female component, for “Le temps des raspberries”, a series available on Club illico. For supporting roles, Sylvain Marcel (“Virage”) and Karelle Tremblay (“Reasonable Doubt”) walked away with a trophy.
Guy Jodoin – with sunglasses – snatched the award for best male lead: annual drama series for “Alerts” and talked about perseverance, he who is best known for his comedies. Marina Orsini can be consoled for the end of her series “Another story” since her peers have awarded her the same Gemini in women.
The same balm, moreover, for Sébastien Diaz and Bianca Gervais, who add the statuette of the best animation to their mantelpiece: service magazines for “Family format”, the eighth season of which will have been the last on Télé-Québec. Warmly applauded, it was news anchor Pierre Bruneau, as a “news legend”, who handed the trophy to the couple.
Finally, in terms of entertainment, the popular France Beaudoin was praised for her work on “Live from the universe” – an event which was also hailed by the audience award – as were Jean-René Dufort for “Infoman 2021” and Pierre-Yves Lord for the game “100 geniuses”.
A “biting” Vero
Host Véronique Cloutier offered a “scandalissimo” opening number, arriving without a smile and trying to be more biting in case it was her last gala… Guy Jodoin interrupted her on stage by pointing out that its opening was “beige”…Véro went back to natural and offered a choreography showing that TV flutters…on all platforms, supported by the voice of the great winner of “Canada's Got Talent”, Jeanick Fournier. Among the strange moments of the evening, there was the unexpected intervention of Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge on stage, who spoke about the importance of voting…
“My two years at “La Tour” come to a close. […] I especially want to thank my permanent team which is behind all my projects, Nathan Jean-Huard, Jessie Huard and Anik Jean. I want to thank them with all my heart for always being there in my madness, for always backing me up, for always supporting me and for making me, every day, a little better artist, and I also hope , a slightly better human being”, said Patrick Huard, whose “La Tour” was crowned best program or series of interviews or talk-show and who received the title of best host in this category at the Gala d' opening.
“The adventure of 'Audrey is back' is an incredible adventure. […] Josée Deschênes is a being of generosity and unconditional love, she is the person who continues to play after we have said “cut”. Josée, it was such a pleasure to play this with you, it was a pleasure to have a mother even if it was for a role, you are warm, I love you, you are brilliant, I share this award with you,” said Florence Longpré, hailed for her acting and her lyrics of “Audrey is back,” written with Guillaume Lambert.
< p>“All the actors will tell you that when it's a good text, 50% of the “job” is done, so thank you Florence Longpré and Guillaume Lambert. After that, it takes someone who is able to take what is written on a sheet and put it on the screen, that's Guillaume Lenorgan. You took me into emotional territories that I had never explored. You are priced with me for the rest of your life!” said Denis Bouchard for his award for leading male role: comedy.
Bianca Gervais and Sébastien Diaz
“Liv and Bowie, at home, this show would never have existed without you,” said Sébastien Diaz, Bianca Gervais adding, “you are our muses!” The couple won the prize for best animation: service magazines for “Family Format”, which bowed out after eight seasons on Télé-Québec.
Anne Boyer< /p>
“It's a big surprise, we're so proud of this series,” said Anne Boyer, producer of “Nous”, a series that was crowned best annual drama series.
“When I read that, I liquefied. Sometimes, to feel business, I re-read [the script]. It cost me a box of Kleenex. […] It was a tailor-made character for me”, said Sylvain Marcel, rewarded for his play in “Virage”.
“It's a prize that belongs to the whole team of” Direct from the universe “. […] I would also like to share it with my extended family, from whom this concept originated, ”said the host, accepting the prize for best animation: series or variety special. At the very end of the gala, “Live from the Universe” received the Gémeaux Audience Award Cogeco Fund.
“Thank you to everyone for letting us do our nonsense for so long,” said Jean-René Dufort, winner of the award for best animation: humor for “Infoman”, in a video, he who is in London with his accomplice Chantal Lamarre to cover the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in her own way.
“The word of the day: perseverance”, said Guy Jodoin after being rewarded for his dramatic play in “Alerts”, he who is better known for his comedies.< /p>
“It was a great privilege, quite a trip. […] Bravo everyone, we do so much exceptional TV, I am very proud to be part of it, “said the actress after being rewarded for her role of Anemone in” Another story “, series that has bowed out.
“It's Philippe Falardeau's fault. If he hadn't been there, I wouldn't be here. I may have seemed brilliant in this role, but it was you who polished it,” the actress said of her role in “Le temps des raspberries”, which earned her the Gemini for best leading role. female: drama series.
“It's been a long time since I've had this much fun playing something,” the actor said of winning the Gemini Award for Best Male Lead: Drama Series.

Today’s adventure chronicle will be continuing our ongoing mission… To find new nature and seek out new trees.. Takes us to Pinckney State Recreation Area. This beautiful Michigan State Park spans two counties and several townships within Southeast Michigan. In Washtenaw County, the park rests in Dexter, Sylvan, and Lyndon Townships. In the Livingston County areas, there are parts of the park Putnam and Unadilla Townships. As you can imagine, this is a rather large area. 11,000 acres to be precise. We began our exploration of this park earlier this spring with the Losee Lake Trail.
The Losee Lake Trail at Pinckney State Recreation Area
At the time of our visit, Jess wasn’t feeling super well, so we decided on attempting to finish one of the shorter trail loops we were able to find. Our journey began, consequently, at the parking area near Silver Lake. There is a short “there and back” into the loop, at which the trail splits to loop around a beautiful wooded area. If you haven’t seen a map, you’ll find that the trail does not loop around Losee Lake but rather converges with it on the North East section of the loop. The opposite side of the loop runs somewhat parallel to Silver Hill Road for a bit before crossing Dexter-Townhall Road and leading into the more secluded interior of this beautiful spot.
If you have a map of this particular trail, our route followed the markers in this sequence: 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 6 > 2 > 1. Due to circumstances, we didn’t go through the entire loop but used the cut-through from marker 4 > 5. We will return for a full circuit soon, however, so we can finish our report on this trail.
Beautiful right from the start!
As soon as you make your way from the parking lot, you have to trek a short jaunt southeast to make your way to the trail-head. It looks like a little groomed picnic area at first. We wondered if we were in the right place. Continuing our walk, paid off as we did manage to find the trail. The beginning of the journey, looks like this:
Pine trees greet you right away.
The date of this trek was May 1st. The forest was just coming back to life. The smells of spring were mingling nicely with the wafting scents of the decaying leaves along the forest floor. As we made our way toward marker 2, we were greeted by this little flower.
Pet Friendly State Parks
As owners of two very avid adventure puppies, we do our best to avoid areas that do not allow dogs. The Pinckney State Recreation Area is no different. Anoush and Duncan, are our trail sentinels. Just below, you can see them guarding the trail marker #3 just at the “Blue Spur”. This is the last marker before you reach the intersection with Dexter-Townhall Road and the subsequent pipeline that I’ve read quite a bit about in the Alltrails Reviews for this hike.
The Collie adventure pups, Anoush & Duncan
The Rover Gas Pipeline
While I definitely don’t enjoy seeing man-made intrusion into nature. I often will take up the challenge of making an interesting image to incorporate nature with the man-made elements.
Near the pipeline site, before you get back into the trail, nature is already at work reclaiming what she can. This is a bit of Sumac that is growing into the area that had only two years before been clear cut.
Before we headed back into the woods, we stopped for a quick portrait with our puppers.
Spring in the forest is always full of such vivid little bits of life. One such example is this small maple tree. Hurrying to grab as much light before the bigger siblings grow leaves and block most of the light.
The Pines at Pinckney State Recreation Area
Since Jess wasn’t feeling well, I often resisted the urge to stop and take photos. However, I love the “down the trail” photos. So I did take another quick stab at the pine-tree lined path leading back to the parking area.
Sunsets are always a welcomed sight.
The first shot is actually facing away from the sunset. I took this approach for a couple reasons. First being, the light was so soft and yet colorful over Silver Lake. The second was that the sun was setting over the parking lot. As with all sunsets, there is a small window of opportunity. So I wanted to attempt to capture the scene the I knew would fade into dark sooner. The first shot is a long exposure. This reduced the intensity of the sky but, gave the water a very warm glow.
The next shot shows just how crazy the colors were. Even facing away from the sun, there was a very strong pinkish orange plume of color on the clouds.
The final shot of the trip was the ever scenic parking lot. The sun was behind the treeline at this point but, was still blasting so much color onto the light cloud cover.

Plans for a trial of on-street cable channels for EV charging are due to be considered by Bath & North Somerset Council.
The move, which follows a report on a proposed 18-month trial, would allow residents with no off-street parking to charge vehicles from their home energy supply.
Councillor Sarah Warren, deputy leader and cabinet member for Climate and Sustainable Travel, is being recommended to approve the trial of three different charging cable channels, which would be installed within the footway, offering residents an alternative to trailing cables across the pavement – which is prohibited and causes accessibility issues.
The new cable channel products would be trialled with 60 participants to identify if they are acceptable; provide an alternative to trailing cables; and informa future offer to residents of applying for a cable channel.
At present, residents without driverways in the local authority area can only charge EVs at off-street public chargers, such as in council-run car parks, and there is no provision for on-street parking.
Councillor Sarah Warren said: “With more and more people choosing the greener option of an electric vehicle, there is a growing issue in areas where there is no off-street parking. Cables trailing across the pavement present a trip hazard as well as a risk of damage to people’s cables. We are always considering ways to make electric vehicle charging more convenient for people, so I will be reviewing the merits of this trial carefully when making my decision on whether it should proceed.
“We also plan to look at the viability of other ways to improve EV charging, such as providing lamp post charging and on street charging hubs, because we recognise that on-street cable channels would only be viable for certain people whose property and pavement access route allows.
“However, we also recognise that a switch to electric vehicles alone will not achieve the carbon emission reductions that we need to see to hit net zero, which is why we have invested in active travel routes across the district to make cycling and walking a more convenient option for more people.”
The news comes as a number of cable charging products and innovations enter the market for on-street options, including most recently Kerbo Charge, which is being trialled in Milton Keynes.

6 Examples of Hazardous Substances in Workplace
Hazardous substance is a chemical that will expose the living being to certain danger in any form of contact. Despite some of the risks of being exposed to certain substances, the use of them is unavoidable in some workplaces just like some harmful chemicals banned in Europe but safe in United States. Certain workplace requires the worker to use or in contact with certain type of chemical.
Normally, company trains workers to be able to use the chemicals safely and to distinguish the harmful ones. However, the safe chemicals can also still in risk of exposing danger if it is not utilized properly. In certain case, workers also have to deal with strange substances. To know more about them, here are example of hazardous substances in workplace.
The first example of hazardous substances in workplace:
Some of the risky chemicals are coming from acid class. Acid is highly irritable and and the acidity of it most likely has higher PH that can cause irritation to skin and eyes. A contact with acid substance can result in burning sensation, skin rashes, itchy and watery eyes, and leading to burn scar and sight problem.
In order to keep away from the danger of acids, there are two ways to do it. First, the company should label any chemicals that contain acid with the name and the hazard it exposes for the workers to be aware of it. Second, workers should use hand protection and eye mask if they have to be directly in contact with acid substance. This way, workers will not be exposed to the hazard of the substance.
Next example of hazardous substances in workplace:
Cadmium is one of the chemical often used in a manufacturing industry. It has the symbol Cd with atomic number 48. Industry often uses cadmium as corrosion resistant coating in metal and steel product. The substance is also used as color additives. Cadmium can be dangerous as it is toxic. Long-term accumulation can cause pneumonitis, fever, pulmonary edema and for the worst case, death. (See also: Harmful Chemicals in the Environment).
Workers often exposed to cadmium through inhalation. The cadmium dust and fume are dangerous when they enter respiratory system. Therefore, to prevent exposure, workers should use mask to cover their nose. The factory should have open space with clear ventilation to change the air circulation. Company should put concern to put the workers’ safety as priority. When some signs of respiratory problems appear, contact doctor for further diagnose and treatment.
Blood Borne Viruses (BBVs)
Blood born viruses or BBVs are another hazard for worker to be potentially catching some of the disease it carries on. The substance mainly found in blood or body fluid. Workers who work in blood donor or hospital can catch some of the diseases borne in the blood such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). If there is no proper protection, workers can catch the virus and getting sick themselves.
To protect workers and people involved the hygiene of each blood donor or organ as well as the worker should be emphasized. Workers should use the sanitizer sprayer before entering the room where the blood and fluid are placed. The equipment used also need to be hygiene and synthesized frequently as they can be the medium for virus transfer. Moreover, company should also give immunisation to the workers.
Asbestos is on the hot list of banned toxic chemicals. Study proves asbestos to be lethal to human health. Often used for building, asbestos is formerly safe until it later found out that the particle is deadly when inhaled. If someone frequently inhales asbestos particle, they can catch asbestosis, a respiratory problem caused by accumulation of asbestos tiny fibers. Morever, asbestos is listed as possible carcinogen as well.
Since asbestos dust is not something that cannot be clearly observed, it is best for the company to do asbestos assessment in the workplace. The workplace should be clear from any asbestos articles. After that, provides the worker with gas mask when they have to be in direct contact with asbestos. Make sure the workplace does not have leaked wall where the dust particle can extend to everywhere.
Carbon monoxide is a chemical that is often used in the production of gas. Unlike carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide is lethal to people’s respiratory system. It can affect the hemoglobic system and lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. There are many cases where workers who work in enclosed space and in contact with carbon monoxide died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore, it belongs to one of the most hazardous chemical and harmful chemicals in air pollution.
To protect workers for carbon monoxide poisoning is by giving an open space of workplace where the ventilation system works properly to avoid the substance to accumulate in the workplace and suffocate the workplace. Also, fresh air is really important to prevent poisoning. Moreover, company should also equip the workplace with health mask and carbon dioxide tube.
Ammonia is a common chemical used in household cleaning agents. The substance itself posses no big danger, however, when ammonia meets oxygen, ammonia gas created and the risk of poisoning increase. Ammonia gas poisoning can cause runny nose, irritated lung, red eyes, and shortness of breath, paralysis and death. The danger of ammonia gas is not something a company can brush off. (Related to Harmful Cleaning Chemicals).
To protect workers from the danger of ammonia gas, company should provide circulating fans in the workplace. The room should have better ventilation and every workers need to wear mask for protection. In addition, there is also an option to use non ammonia ingredient for the cleaning agent products.
The risk of working in an industry where substances or chemicals are unavoidable is high. Every day, hazardous substances threaten the life and impose danger to workers with or without proper knowledge. It is a company job to ensure the safety of the workers. Moreover, workers should also be aware of the hazardous substances around them. These are all the example of hazardous substances in workplace.


EPIC KNOCK: Dad treasures 224-run partnership with son
Coolum cricketer Michael Day has been rapt by the response to an epic partnership with his son and the conversations it’s sparked among other players who hit the crease with their kids.
Day and his son Will smashed their way to a partnership of 224 against Wamuran-Stanley Rivers recently in Division 6 of Sunshine Coast Cricket.
Both were not out, with Day hitting 118 and his 15-year-old son making 95.
“It was great and that (playing with son) was part of the reason I came back to cricket,” he said.
“You only generally get a window of one or two years (to do it) and I had the opportunity to do it with my father as well so I wanted to do that with him.
“But, we certainly never dreamt that it was going to turn out the way it did.”
The reaction to their big partnership has been massive too.
MyCricket shared their efforts on Facebook, with the post so far garnering 3700 likes, 532 comments and 41 shares.
“It’s really taken off,” he said.
“We’ve been rapt about the fact a lot of the comments are other father and sons posting pictures and talking about their experiences or maybe a father and son putting out the challenge to each other and things like that which has been good to see.”
He said he had also received a few friendly digs from people about his son falling short of the century mark.
“I’ve been copping a little bit of flak that the old man robbed his son of a 100,” he laughed.
“It does look that way but he faced the last over and made 15 runs off that last over so he had a good go at trying to get there late.
“But, it’s a better story that I robbed him.”
He said it was important to recognise Coolum and other grassroots clubs that gave fathers the chance to play with their sons.
(For) A club like Coolum to give people like us father and son opportunities to do it (is great),” he said.
“They need a shout out.”
The duo is due to be in action again this weekend when Coolum hosts Nambour.
With all the attention he was wary there’d be pressure to repeat the knock.
“I don’t want to make us a target here,” he laughed.
“We don’t have any expectations we will ever replicate that again.”
Another famed father/son partnership came in March, 1995, in Division 1.
Caloundra’s Scott Sommerville hit 125* and son Jason, 46, in a 10th wicket pairing worth 125 against Caboolture.


So Fairphone have provided an easy and reasonable solution to this issue with a simple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter
I am sure there are several out there who would maybe just want a single cable to use from their headphones to the phone. If you have an existing pair of headphones that have a removable 3.5 mm cable then you could use one of these:
This is utterly disappointing.
I just got myself FP3+, and i guess i will be keeping it. Loss of headphone jack is a dealbreaker for me. I bought FP3+ for instance specifically cause it had headphone jack. There is no reasonability in adapters. This is just stupid.
For sure not, it is too bulky. But I just wanted to mention that it works.
I got experience with WH1000XM4 and WF1000XM3/XM4 (I gave the 3 to my mother, she’s happy with them). Tbh the XM3 is currently only 125 EUR instead of 280 EUR for the XM4, I would say the price difference isn’t worth the upgrade right now. For over-ear, WH1000XM4 is nice, but I am not sure if it is worth the upgrade from the predecessor either.
There’s a lot more devices which got both 3.5 mm and Bluetooth. See price comparison websites like Tweakers (Dutch) or Geizhals (German). Example.
I have not used the WH1000XM3, I got the XM4 (both WF and WH).
What is nice is that the predecessors of the XM4 are cheaper now, while they give good value. Probably same is happening with older headphones as well. Its just that they may have some disadvantages like older Bluetooth, or maybe less good ANC.

2009 Translation Database and Some Fun Numbers
With the end of 2009 approaching, it seems like as good a time as ever to post an update to our translation database and look at some comparisons and more interesting numbers. First off, you can
In comparison, the file for 2008 is
Granted, I might be missing a few titles—it’s suspicious that there are only 13 translations coming out in December 2009, but maybe—and over the next couple weeks I’ll be e-mailing this to every publisher, consulate, distributor, translator, and international lit fanatic I can to make sure this is as accurate as possible.
But, on a gut level, I feel like this is damn close to complete. If you look into this dip a bit more closely, you’ll see that the drop off was in terms of poetry. In 2008, 82 translated poetry collections were published by 40 different publishers. In 2009 that number plummets to 57 titles from 33 different publishers. Welcome to the post-financial collapse publishing world . . .
On the other hand, fiction stayed remarkably steady with 280 titles coming out in 2008 and 279 in 2009.
Rather than look at all the same old comparisons (in terms of most translated language, in 2009 Spanish topped French, but France was the most translated country), I thought I’d run some more quirky queries and see what came up.
So, utilizing our complete database (which includes books from 2008, 2009, and 2010), here are the translators with the most translations published over that time:
Margaret Jull Costa (7)
Anthea Bell (6)
Antony Shugaar (6)
Andrew Bromfield (6)
Howard Goldblatt (6)
Clifford Landers (5)
Howard Curtis (5)
Nick Caistor (5)
Katherine Silver (5)
Chris Andrews (5)
Alison Anderson (5)
(Disclaimer: These are the translators with the most original translations published over this period. For example, I think Marian Schwartz would be on the list had we included her retranslations of Bulgakov’s The White Guard and Goncharov’s Oblomov, etc.)
And for authors? No surprise here:
Roberto Bolano (7)
Mehmet Murat Somer (3)
Gert Jonke (3)
Andrea Camilleri (3)
Imre Kertesz (3)
Karin Fossum (3)
Naguib Mahfouz (3)
Horacio Castellanos Moya (3)
Boris Akunin (3)
Mahmoud Darwish (3)
The month with the most translations is April (85), the month with the least is December (34). Bleakest month, my ass.

Mojave Air & Space Port – then and now (part 2)
September 17, 2022
Mojave Airport starts to grow in the 1970s and 1980s -
Several small businesses were already established at Mojave Airport, but the major lessee was the General Electric Engine Test facility. They had recently moved from Edwards Air Force Base to Mojave Airport and they employed 100 people.
One of GE's first engine flight test programs in 1971 at Mojave was a North American Sabreliner fitted with GE engines that provided 200 pounds more thrust than the original engines. Later they used a Boeing 707 and then a Boeing 747 that tested the GE-90-115 engine that was used on the Boeing 777.
Airport Growth continues
Flight Systems Inc. (FSI) was founded at Newport Beach, California in 1968 by Bob Laidlaw, an MIT graduate with an advanced degree in Aeronautical Engineering. In acquired the assets of Long Beach-based Flight Test Research, among these being a Canadair Sabre 6 (N186F) and four Canadair T-33 Silver Stars. These aircraft went to equip FSI's new flight test operation in Mojave, California. The flightline was full of FSI's F-86s, T-33s, F-100s, some A-4 Skyhawks and later F-4s.
FSI's primary business was to assist in the development of surface-to-air missiles for the U.S. Army. The Stinger missile and the Patriot missile systems are two of the more successful projects Bob's company participated in.
An initial FSI drone proposal was submitted to the U.S. Army Targets Branch at Huntsville in December 1973, and a "proof of concept" contract was signed a year later. Concurrent with the agreement, Laidlaw was able to secure a purchase option on approximately 55 of Dave McEwen's ex-RCAF Canadair Sabre Mk5 airframes.
The U.S. Air Force required the drone system be designed with the same redundancy as a missile system. They required the ejection seat to be removed, so then no pilot could fly the aircraft. However, to ferry the aircraft to another location made it necessary to re-install the ejection seat and all equipment for a pilot to fly it, which added tremendous expense.
FSI took a different tack: the company thought that if the drone conversion could be kept simple, and the drone was never flown without a safety pilot except for actual missile firings, then the probability of losing an aircraft due to system failure would be very low. As a result, the QF-86E conversion could be relatively simple and would thus minimize cost. Minimum disruption of the aircraft systems also ensured that the conversion process was quick and easy.
Flight Systems aerial target program was acquitted by Tracor, Inc. in 1981 and later BAE Flight Systems took over the aerial target/drone business.
From 1996 to 2013, BAE Systems, converted McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom jets to full scale, remotely controlled aerial targets that the Air Force used for weapons testing and aircraft training at Tyndall Air Force base in Florida or Holloman AFB in New Mexico.
In the 1970s, the new Canadair Challenger business jet on the drawing board was a risky proposition. Derived from a design by American inventor and aircraft developer Bill Lear, Canadair Chief Designer Harry Halton married a wide-body fuselage with a high performance supercritical wing and state-of-the-art engines. With banks and the then federal Minister of Industry, Trade and Commerce Jean Chretien requiring 50 "firm orders," a Canadair sales team was dispatched to sell a "paper aircraft with only sales brochures, scale models and a wooden mockup to go on."
The innovative Challenger design boasted industry-leading performance. It promised to be faster, cheaper to fly and more comfortable than any other business jet.
With orders of 56 aircraft from North America, Europe and the Middle East, Canadair's top management, headed by Frederick Kearns, gave a "go" to the Challenger project.
Guess where they wanted to do all of the flight test work to gain certification for worldwide operation? The first prototype was flown to Mojave Airport and Dan Sabovich saw to it that a hangar was especially constructed for them. It is still known as the Canadair hangar, just east of the Administration Building.
National Test Pilot School
The National Test Pilot School, located at the east end of Mojave Air & Space Port, was established in 1981 and is the only civilian test-pilot school in the United States. It is organized as a not for profit, educational institute under California state law and is governed by a board of trustees.
NTPS is one of the seven test-pilot schools worldwide recognized by the international Society of Experimental Test Pilots, giving pilot graduates of NTPS instant initial acceptance into their society.
In 2016, NTPS became the first test-pilot school in the world to be certified as a Flight Test Authorized Training Organization by the European Aviation Safety Organization.
Rutan Aircraft Factory & Scaled Composites
Burt and Dick Rutan – So many airplanes and so many records!
Burt Rutan Designs
Burt Rutan, without a doubt is the most prolific aircraft designer in the world! I have to mention some of his first designs (too many to picture) for the Rutan Aircraft Factory, including: Variviggen; VariEze; Defiant; Quickie; Long-EZ; and Solitaire. Rutan went into design overdrive after he formed Scaled Composites!
The Rutan Aircraft Factory operated from 1974 to 1985 selling airplane plans developed by Burt and supporting home builders. During those 11 years, Burt developed a total of 12 different aircraft, the most notable of which is the Long-EZ.
In August 1982, Rutan broke ground for his new 30,000-square-foot building to house his new business, Scaled Composites. The ground-breaking ceremony had Mojave Airport General Manager, Dan Sabovich, holding a composite shovel digging out the first dirt for the project, as Scaled Composites President, Burt Rutan and Vice President, Herb Iverson looked on.
This year Scaled Composites will observe their 40th anniversary of designing, building and testing composite aircraft.
The success of Scaled Composites owes itself to Burt's philosophy that the best ideas come from the collaborative efforts of small, closely-knit project teams and an environment unlimited by adversity to risk. Although Burt officially retired from Scaled in 2011, his legacy continues in Mojave.
In August 2007, Northrop Grumman completed a transaction that increased its ownership in Scaled Composites, LLC from approximately 40% to 100%.
Rutan Voyager Flies around the World, non-stop – unrefueled
Rutan, famous aircraft designer and former CEO of Scaled Composites, created Voyager for maximum fuel efficiency. Crew Chief Bruce Evans and a host of volunteers built this graceful design at Mojave Airport in Hangar #77.
Voyager made the extraordinary first-ever non-stop, unrefueled flight, around the world with pilots Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager (no relation to Chuck Yeager).
The circumnavigation flight was 26,366 statute miles, which more than doubled the previous record set by a B-52 Bomber in 1962. This fragile aircraft with a wingspan of 110 feet had an empty weight of only 939 pounds. The gross weight on take-off from Edwards AFB, December 14, 1986, was 9,694.5 pounds.
The milestone flight took nine-days, three-minutes and 44 seconds and the absolute world distance records set during that flight remain unchallenged today.
Thousands of people witnessed the landing of Voyager on Dec. 23, 1986 on the dry lake bed at Edwards AFB. The Voyager story is one of great emotion, courage, vision and adventure and is often referred to as "aviation's last first."
Starship POC (proof of concept)
On Aug. 25, 1982, Beech had contracted with Scaled Composites to refine the design and build an 86% scale POC (proof of concept) aircraft. One of the significant changes made to the design by Scaled Composites was the addition of variable geometry to the canard.
On August 29, 1983, less than a year after the founding of Scaled Composites, Burt's brother, Dick Rutan, piloted the Starship prototype. Beech Management flew in to Mojave from Wichita, Kansas to witness the first flight of the airplane they hoped would replace their King Air.
Part three will tell about the growth that took place in the 1990s and will be in a future issue of The Loop newspaper.

The MG ZS EV was recently updated for the 2021 model year. However, the company’s top brass has already confirmed that the all-electric SUV will receive another upgrade moving forward that will see further improvements in driving range. “We’re definitely working on a ZS EV battery for 500km of range,” Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, told Autocar India in an exclusive interaction.
- 2021 MG ZS EV gets a certified range of 419km on a single charge
- Range to be improved to around 500km by next year
- ZS EV now sold in 31 cities across India
500km range for the MG ZS EV
Commenting on the expected advancements in the EV industry, Chaba said, “I expect that there would be improvements in battery technology. There would be a lot of research on batteries for India because our country has varied weather conditions.” Talking about MG’s plans, he added, “From our perspective, you will see that we will be introducing and making some changes that will involve high temperature (resistance) and more range for batteries.” “We should launch a robust 500km of range hopefully by next year,” he said.
Launched in India in January 2020, the ZS EV was first introduced with a 44.5kWh battery pack capable of delivering a 340km range in ideal test conditions. However, our extensive real world testing showed that the electric SUV could achieve a range of 317km while being driven on a mix of city roads and highways.
Recently, MG introduced the 2021 model year ZS EV that manages a claimed range of 419km from a similar 44.5kWh capacity battery pack. Come 2022, the automaker will give the ZS yet another update that will further improve the expected range to around 500km.
In terms of the drivetrain, the ZS is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor that puts out 143hp and 353Nm of torque through the front wheels. MG also claims a 0-100kph time of 8.5sec.
MG expects ZS EV sales to more than double in 2021
MG had reported receiving 2,300 bookings for the ZS EV in just a month after opening its order books last year. “But then, COVID happened. Interestingly, 30 percent of our bookings came from fleet companies, corporates and institutions which had to cancel because of COVID-related reasons and the demand slumped,” mentioned Chaba. Consequently, the company sold about 1,300 units of the ZS EV in an electric passenger vehicle (PV) market that saw total sales of around 5,500 units in the calendar year 2020.
With the automotive sector making a sharp comeback from the COVID-induced slump, MG is hopeful of better prospects this year. “If everything goes well this year, we should sell close to 3,000 ZS EVs. So, the total EV market is probably 10,000 units (in 2021),” he said.
Moreover, the ZS EV debuted last year with sales being limited to just five cities initially. The footprint was later expanded to 21 cities by end-2020, and the 2021 model year update has seen 10 more cities being added to the list. This should also help the demand for the electric SUV.

A self portrait overlooking rivers of lava pouring into the ocean from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. It will forever be a reminder of the amazing things I've seen and the wonderful people I've met through photography. For that reason alone, it remains my personal favorite image
Weeping walls of water pour into the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon after torrential winter rains. Sadly, this area was destroyed by a wildfire in 2017
The title of this image is literal. It was taken through the window of our living room in Washington state on a very special morning
One of the best sunrises I've witnessed as the lenticular clouds of California catch fire before sunrise
The fog cleared just enough to get a few shots of these sentinel trees keeping watch over the iconic Mt. Hood in the Oregon Cascades
After aimlessly hiking through the dunes for hours, I finally just gave up, plopped my tripod down, and hoped for the best. Thankfully the wind picked up at sunset and the atmosphere came alive
Comet Neowise graces the night sky over Oregon's Mt. Hood. Considering we won't see a return visit for 6800 years, the midnight wakeup call and early morning hike up Tom, Dick, and Harry mountain seemed a reasonable sacrifice to make.
After a decade of trying, I finally experienced the fabled light beams that occasionally grace the giant redwood forests of northern California.
A gnarly old tree in the dry plains of Oregon watches over the annual balsamroot bloom. Usually, I spend a lot of time trying to ensure I'm in the right place to get good conditions for photography. On this morning, however, I was thrilled that my friends Ryan and Candace Dyar were going to be in town and I just wanted to be out shooting with them, so I didn't even bother checking the weather. Sometimes, it's better to just be lucky
As luck would have it, a thick fog cleared just before dawn as the moonrise and milky way lined up over Halemaumau Crater in Hawaii
Violent storms crash into the Eastern Sierra mountains of California before having their clouds ripped to shreds by the jagged peaks
Thunderstorms in the Pacific Northwest are extremely rare. Even more so at sunrise. When this one developed over Mt. St. Helens in Washington, I raced to find a composition and fired the camera as quickly as possible in an attempt to capture a lightning bolt. And then I got lucky
You don't know someone until you've plucked the quills of these cholla "teddy bear" cactus out of their behind, right David Thompson?
The incredible aurora borealis dances across the night skies of Iceland. These light displays are nothing short of miraculous
A prime example of the growing threat of landscape photography and social media. We had this beautiful area in Iceland all to ourselves years ago when I made this image. Now, it is closed after being overrun and overwhelmed by tourists
I had to adopt an "amorous" pose on a rock to get this entire fern in the frame. Unfortunately for me, a friend was there to document the experience. He holds me hostage with it to this day
You can plan your compositions, the tides, the sun angle, and the weather forecast. But sometimes you just get lucky with the conditions as I did along the coast of Hawaii one morning
It was just a couple of photographers and a few trillion mosquitoes enjoying the frosty summer morning high in the Washington Cascades
This very special light appeared in the Colorado Rockies at almost the precise moment a beloved family member was finally released from the pain of a long illness. It will always be a very special and symbolic image for my family
As the sun rose, I was running wildly through the dunes trying to find a composition. A lone figure appeared upon the highest summit and I managed to fire off a few frames before he retreated into the sand

Is art, art, when there is no spiritual content? Or is it simply at the level of a visual language that descends to the level of advertising and marketing management? Does the absence of the embodiment of the spiritual mean work devoid of empathy, of a will to meaning, and more troubling, of an inability to love?
The triumph of the mass. The ritual of a Leni Reifenstahl crowd shot. The mob. The middle-class morality of bourgeois intrigue. unstoppable and revealed in the pop object, fetishized, where the erotic charge is channeled in the object and its accumulation. If it resists. Kill it. shoot it. gas it. Pop art readily submits to the whole grotesque structure of market economics and its vast bureaucratic complexes; its simply a piece of the entertainment/advertising/media complex which contradicts the concept of the art of the social. So much for spiritual and existential ambitions.
Hopefully, we may be at the end, a breaking point, a point of inflection, of the consumerist hey-dey that leaves behind memory of the past, the furtive and sneaky discarding that began with Duchamp through Warhol and beyond even the logic of capital induced oblivion. What more can Pop signifies besides a cute, ingratiating and superficial representation of the history of material culture? There is evidently, a wider, more profound sense of a symbolic, social and economic perspective of what it is to be a subject of commerce, to permit to be objectified as an instrument or tool, an object, of a present torn from the obligations of tradition,of even basic responsibility and compelled by new, artificial laws, a seductive drunkenness of hypnotic material subjugation; in love with illusion, of the phenomenon of something, rather than a coherent understanding of the fundamental itself; like the herd, influenced by “market sentiment” and “confidence indexes”, blinded into investing into phantom gold mines, empty pits without a trace of mineral value….
from Donald Kuspit:Indeed,( Gerhard) Richter is a master strip-miner, as his Abstract Expressionist paintings show in particular: they are all dead surface with no expressive depth — nothing of that unconscious that Pollock spoke of. Richter is a master of the fade-out, but he lacks the imagination to invent a scene on his own. He is a predatory appropriator, destroying what he appropriates in the act of doing so.
Richter is a relentless negator, turning everything, whatever its source — often tacky newspaper photographs as well as high art — into a shadow of itself, sometimes a colorful shadow, but usually a black-and-white or gray one. It is a platitudinous German grayness, but also a sign of creative impotence, not to say esthetic bankruptcy. Richter once said that his “work has more to do with traditional art than with anything else,” but it is clearly not up to the standards of traditional art, nor for that matter of the best photography, traditional or avant-garde. …Read More:http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/kuspit/kuspit2-21-02.asp
Richter’s work is a compromise between painting and photography, not as good as the masterpieces that exist in both. In fact, I think his painting is an act of revenge on his betters. These include the 48 famous men he portrayed, working from photographs — they seem to be all writers, intellectuals and scientists (what happened to the painters?; clearly not smart enough, Richter seems to be saying, unwittingly admitting his own lack of creative intelligence, not to say originality [but then originality is banned in postmodernism]) — that depreciate them into stereotypes. Richter finishes them off, depreciating them further: after he’s through with them, they look like hollow blanks rather than bullet minds.
Richter’s portraits are profoundly nihilistic, like all his work, however glamorous its veneer sometimes is, especially in his Abstract Expressionist works, but also in his color portraits and color landscapes, and however quasi-sexual and pseudo-intimate his content, as in his paintings of nudes and infants. Richter is a master at faking it, no doubt because he thinks the world is fake — a visual as well as cognitive construction, in which the possibility of authenticity is ruled out from the beginning. Certainly he shows his own inauthenticity by turning cheap reproductions into expensive paintings — an ironical joke played on art, familiar from Andy Warhol, and as pseudo-avant-garde as Warhol. Richter is a profoundly jaded, tired artist, running on borrowed art and social capital….Read More:http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/kuspit/kuspit2-21-02.asp
…Interestingly enough, all 48 of Richter’s geniuses are dead. (Does he also mock genius, another concept the postmodernists don’t like?) Richter seems to have a deep appreciation of death — the Germans seem to have had a monopoly on it in the last century, and in general have been known for their romantic conception of it, not to say their fascination, even obsession with it, as though they had exclusive rights to it and understood it better than anyone (which their history suggests they might) — as his series of works dealing with the Baader-Meinhof figures suggests. Apparent suicides, many think they were murdered in prison, and Richter’s gloomy pictures supposedly express sympathy for them. I don’t think so; like all his works, they have a morbid coolness that suggests rigor mortis. He has packed the dead in the dry ice of his art, which does nothing to preserve and immortalize them, but, ironically, hastens their decay — a clever feat of anti-art. All his art is about dead art — the art of the past — which it preys on with necrophiliac glee. Richter de-immortalizes what tradition regards as immortal, showing that tradition is a wasteland of fading memories, which denies its power over the present….
…Photo-Realism as well as Abstract Expressionism — indeed, any and every kind of representational and abstract art — seem to belong to the remote artistic past, which is part of the déjà vu mentality of postmodernism, what one might call its post-visionary historicism. In fact, it is subliminally an attempt to discard history without offering any fresh start, for there is none according to postmodernism. For Richter, everyday, easily produced, collective photography has replaced the grand art of the past laboriously made by individuals. While seeming to deplore the loss, he accepts and even celebrates it, making an art that subsumes individuality in collective, commonplace “vision,” which is the opposite of what such artists as Titian did, which is part of the reason we respect them today….Read More:http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/kuspit/kuspit2-21-02.asp
Richter appreciates the collective better than he appreciates the individual, subsuming his own individuality — it exists in vestigial form, still more potential than actual — in a collective purpose. He does not even strike a balance between individual vision, with its hint of what Miró called the artist’s “inner drama,” and collective vision, which turns appearances into stereotypes. One cannot expect an artist who spent his formative years in East Germany, and thus was conditioned to believe in social obedience and conformity — to submit to social authority — rather than risk independence, creative autonomy and nonconformity, to change his mental habits of accommodation to authoritarian images, including high art images that have become authoritarian through their mass reproduction. He may toy with them, denying their truthfulness, but he submits to them, however archly, and even, in his own weird way, apotheosizes them in the act of debunking — destabilizing — them….
…But no artist — nobody — is a hero to Richter, heroism being as declassé as genius in postmodernism. Certainly Richter is no hero of art, although he might well have become one in East Germany, had it continued to exist and had he continued to live there. The East Germans are supposed to have more credibility and endurance than the West Germans because they suffered under Communist oppression — another version of Nazi oppression for many Germans — while the West Germans prospered under capitalism, growing giddy with wealth. (They forgot that capitalism has its own oppressiveness, which they are now beginning to re-learn, like everybody else in the so-called free West.) The most successful of the postwar German artists were born in East Germany, which instantly privileges them as victims of authoritarianism. They are viewed with awe, as though their experience in the East has made them more authentic than West Germans, and also because they evoke the old Nazi authoritarianism….
…Richter is clearly among these East German artists, who owe some of their success to the fact that they come from East Germany, whatever the nature of their art. However controversial, they are treated well because they symbolize the guilt the West Germans feel for their economic success, which their brothers in the East did not experience. I want to suggest that the secret of Richter’s art is its playful — which does not necessarily mean ironical — acceptance of Socialist Realism, the official style of the Communist world, which included East Germany.
Richter¹s work takes Socialist Realism as its point of departure and continues to be Socialist Realist in modernist drag. Socialist Realism is people’s art. It uses the styles of the acceptable past, cutting them down to the reproductive terms that are comprehensible to the people. Their vision is cancelled in the name of the Great Cause — the People — and they are banalized into instruments of ideology and propaganda. Richter does the same thing with abstraction and representation. They are reduced to dumb shows of art — a kind of visual mummery — or, to put this another way, a visual sound and fury signifying nothing, whatever its subject matter. They are reduced to people¹s art, simplified and trivialized. All one has to do is to look at his mock Mondrian to get the point. It is people’s abstraction, just as Richter’s Abstract Expressionist paintings are the people¹s platitudinous idea of Abstract Expressionism — a Socialist Realist scam on Abstract Expressionism….
…I am arguing that Richter makes Socialist Realist art while seeming to discredit and mock it. He ends up dragging all art down to its level, which is to make all art Socialist Realist in import. Socialist Realism, rather than the Old Masters, including the Old Modern Masters, is his true artistic heritage. Richter is trying to shed it, live it down in unconscious embarrassment, but he can’t get beyond it.
After the collapse of East Germany and its assimilation by West Germany, a book was published describing the “Taugefuhl” — the very unGerman feeling that all was secretly melting, thawing, absurd, that nothing was solid, real, genuine — that existed in East Germany. In other words, that there was a great, almost incomprehensible split between social appearances and social reality. They just didn’t go together, and seemed to cancel each other, leaving one in a vacuum.
East Germany was thus the ironical social expression of the Marxist idea that “all that is solid melts” in the modern world — that it undoes everything of value in the past and that it itself creates. It is all the more ironical because it expresses the inner truth about life in a regime that claimed to be Marxist, indeed utopian.
Richter finds the same disturbing feeling in the West German utopia — a cornucopia of commodities (Richter¹s sexy nudes and vulnerable infants also have cuddly commodity appeal) — as his Capitalist Realist works show. Only there it is hidden behind a seductive, busy commercial surface rather than lying on the dull, static surface of everyday life — evident in the mass-produced buildings and uniforms of East Germany, which never made a profit on anything, except paranoia (of which there are also traces in Richter’s paintings, haunted as they are by the ghosts of past art).
Capitalism, like the Communist version of Socialism, is also a fascist Potemkin village of self-advertising images — a social facade behind which there is a depressing human void, the emptiness of meaninglessness. This facade of images tells us nothing about social reality, let alone psychological reality. (Richter has no feeling for it, as one might expect from someone so oriented to superficial, external appearances. He makes them more superficial and external — nihilistically strips them of all sense of purpose, every vestige of meaning — without penetrating the inner meaning and purpose they do in fact have.) They are in fact lies, deceptions, leading us into self-deception — part of the Big Lie of modern society and life, and maybe life in general.
It is this feeling of unreality and insubstantiality — this sense of an inner vacuum in reality, which makes it seem unreal — that Richter captures in his paintings. It is the one brilliant, critical thing he does, because it is the one thing that he understands from the inside. His is an art of profound disillusionment, with art as well as society, and perhaps himself, as his feeling that he does not live up to the ideals of traditional art suggests. In other words, he is a humanist manqué — a humanist despite himself, although he seems to have no self, that is, no inner profile. He is a blank, and his blankness infects everything he touches, as though it rather than he was empty.
This is Richter’s tragedy, rather than that of painting, which will survive his supposedly subversive endgame painting. But even his tragedy is fraudulent — as fraudulent as his art — because he does not agonize over the fate of painting. He professes to love it, but reduces it to matter-of-factness, as though that could finally kill it off, which is what he unconsciously wants to do. Nor does his art show any signs of personal agony — it does not seem marked by personal experience — which confirms its low expressive profile, its celebrated coolness, indeed, ice-coldness. It is as cold as death, which does not mean that painting has died, but that Richter was too depressed — how else could one feel growing up in East Germany and knowing there was a better Germany? — to feel fully alive.
Richter lowers our expectations from painting, which is the correct postmodern thing to do — painting has died, and Richter is slyly hammering the nails in its coffin — for in postmodernism, painting is no longer an experience but an idea. (Why hammer so hard? Is he afraid that painting has been buried alive, and has the strength to rise out of the grave that theorists have dug for it? Does he really mourn for painting in the act of painting, or is he digging the grave of his own painting?)
In Richter’s work emptiness has become the ruling idea, which is why his emptiness — his Taugefuhl, dissolving appearances into a blur as though there was no reality behind them, as though they did not point to something that is the case, as though they had no reference but were dispensable, arbitrary signifiers, a social surface with nothing behind it, like everything else — is smug, arrogant and humorless. (The denial of reference — the reduction of art to a language game, a game with visual signifiers that have no significance because they self-referentially signify nothing but themselves and the context of their use — is a defense against reality, a failure of reality-testing. It suggests that Richter’s art, and postmodern art in general, is a form of depression and disillusionment, not only with the world, but with art itself. The tactic of non-referentiality renders both art and the world meaningless, in effect annihilating both, that is, suggesting their nothingness — the abysmal emptiness into which Richter’s images dissolve.) Richter is thus stereotypically German in a way that Kiefer, Baselitz and Polke, whose art is genuinely tragic as well as uncannily comic, have rendered obsolete….Read More:http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/kuspit/kuspit2-21-02.asp
Brady:Art reminds us that life is stranger, more beautiful, demanding, joyous and painful than common sense knows. The holy then, is mysterious. It underlies the vision of tragedy and, indeed of any good novel which gives us a glimpse into the mysteries of the human condition. Far from being unworldly or abstract, this mystery exists in the midst of our lives as a wonderful passage in Margaret Attwood’s Alias Grace makes clear. Grace comes into the kitchen early in the morning.
There was a strange light, as if there was a film of silver over everything, like frost only smoother like water running thinly down over flat stones; and then my eyes were opened and I knew it was because God had come into the house and this was the silver that covered heaven. God had come in because God is everywhere, you can’t keep him out, he is part of everything there is.
But he is beyond any question or control of ours:
I said, what do you want here? But he did not answer, he just kept on being silver, so I went out to milk the cow, because the only thing to do about God is to go on with what you were doing anyway, since you can’t ever stop him or get any reasons out of him. There is a Do this or Do that with God, but not any because.Read More:http://www.ru.org/81brady.html

Water main break floods Corktown street
A water main break in Corktown resulted in a few cars sitting in water and water reaching front lawns Tuesday morning.
Bryan Peckinpaugh, spokesman with the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, said reports of the flooding came in Monday night on Wabash Street near Michigan Avenue, when residents reported seeing water in the street. Peckinpaugh said it is unclear if there are interior damages to residents' homes but a few cars were in the flood zone.
He said a crew was on the scene Tuesday morning, pumping water from the street before completing repairs. The cause of the break is unknown.
Wabash in that area is closed until further notice.
Water main breaks in Detroit can be reported to DWSD's 24-hour emergency line at 313-267-8000.

The second Rainwater Doctors Program was launched in August to promote the use of rainwater harvesting facilities according to building type and function, and to inform citizens who want to reuse rainwater but are not sure how. The Rainwater Doctors appointed this year will carry out their duties from August 2014 to June 2016, and the program will be operated through voluntary participation and talent donation by citizens.
A rainwater harvesting facility is an eco-friendly technology that allows the reuse of rainwater. After all the rainwater is collected in a tank on the roof of the building, it goes through a simple water treatment process and can be used for various purposes, such as watering vegetable gardens, landscaping, and cleaning bathrooms and floors in buildings. However, the facilities are not yet widely used, since most citizens are unfamiliar with and inexperienced at maintaining and using the facilities.
The Rainwater Doctors will serve as consultants, providing detailed information on rainwater harvesting facilities and helping those citizens who are unfamiliar with reusing rainwater.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government expects that the rainwater reuse system will be great for urban farmers who know that rainwater is better for agriculture than tap water. Also, the city government hopes that this measure will help Seoul become a healthy water-cycle city cycle.


- The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized and funding agency of the United Nations.
- It changes the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth.
- Its headquarters is located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
- 193 Member States
- The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, its infrastructure, flight inspection, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation.
- ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation that are followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.
- The Air Navigation Commission (ANC) is the technical body within ICAO. The commission is composed of 19 commissioners, nominated by the ICAO’s contracting states and appointed by the ICAO Council. Commissioners serve as independent experts, who although nominated by their states, do not serve as state or political representatives. International Standards And Recommended Practices are developed under the direction of the ANC through the formal process of ICAO Panels. Once approved by the commission, standards are sent to the council, the political body of ICAO, for consultation and coordination with the member states before final adoption.
- ICAO is distinct from other international air transport organizations, particularly because it alone is vested with international authority (among signatory states): other organizations include the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade association representing airlines; the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), an organization for Air navigation service providers (ANSPs); and the Airports Council International, a trade association of airport authorities.

- It received the requisite 26th ratification on March 5, 1947, and went into effect on April 4, 1947, the same date that ICAO came into being.
- In October of the same year, ICAO became a specialized agency of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
- The Convention has since been revised eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980, 1997, 2000 and 2006).
- As of March 2019, the Chicago Convention had 193 state parties, which includes all member states of the United Nations except Liechtenstein.
- The Cook Islands is a party to the Convention although it is not a member of the UN. The convention has been extended to cover Liechtenstein by the ratification of Switzerland.


Je ne peux à ce jour donner un avis,je le ferai probablement,après quelques semaines, pour que tout se mette en place.
Mais en ce qui concerne le service D'audiophonics, il est de premier ordre.
Tube Preamplifier with regenerative power supply
Audio-GD's Vacuum HE1 XLR is a 100% tube preamplifier in a full balanced achitecture. The power stage and preamp / buffer stage are exclusively constructed from vacuum tubes, resistors and capacitors. In other words, it is a pure tube design specifically developed to offer the best of this technology. The Vacuum HE1 and will delight audiophiles who want to find the sound signature characteristic of the tubes without sacrificing the transparency, dynamics and tonal accuracy high-fidelity equipment.
This is the XLR version which is completely balanced, that is to say that the entire apparatus includes tube 4 stage preamplification distributed on each channel of the audio signal. This design is not always the most optimized S viewpoint / N R, but it offers a very faithful sound reproduction with warm sound of tube devices.
The Vacuum HE1 XLR embeds a regulated linear power supply oversized with a dedicated transformer for each preamplification.
Each of the power units operating in pure class A. They are installed in parallel to benefit from a very high input impedance, excellent linearity, high speed and low output impedance to preserve the purity of the regenerated signal .
In addition to blocking Power supply-related noise that can affect the operation of the preamplifiers, the power stage only operates purely analog components (no logic) to not get digital noise that may affect the sound characteristics of the lamps.
The volume control works thanks to two relay switches (one per channel). This prevents signal degradation due to the presence of a potentiometer between stages.
Designed to optimize performance and reduce as much distortion as possible, Master 1 Vacuum volume control works on an unusual design. A first attenuation (still controlled by relay) takes place directly on the preamplifier input. This ensures that the signal will remain at optimal levels in accordance with the specifications of the tubes. A second attenuation located this time at the output of the gain stage, maintains the signal level in an optimal range for the power amplifier. In order to have enough headroom, two tubes connected in parallel justafter the buffer stage are used to stabilize the signal when high output level is required.
Because this volume stage is very sensitive, volume control circuits are isolated in a copper casing to avoid captation of interference.
A consequence of this type of installation is to have variable a signal / noise relative to volume. This does not mean that performance is erratic, but on the contrary, the Master 1 Vacuum is optimized to provide the best signal / noise as possible for a tube preamplifier with output levels that match the standards of modern Hi-Fi.
Another consequence of this architecture is to increase accuracy in low volume signal. The double attenuation makes it possible to greatly increase the level of the input signal (prior to noise captation) to then reduce to a conventional level, which leads to dividing the noise by the same order of magnitude.
This particular design allows a first preamplification upstream of the main noise sources, which significantly improves the signal to noise ratio and results in impressive performance for a tube preamplifier. It also respects the particular signature of this technology as a whole. The Master 1 Vacuum offers a THD + N of less than 0.05% with disconcerting linearity on the audio spectrum.
Master 1 Vacuum comes with its metal, brushed-aluminum finish remote. It displays 2 buttons for source select and 3 buttons for volume control (increase / decrease / mute). This useful and well-designed tool relects Audio-GD chic sobriety.
Cornerstone an analog section, the Vacuum1 HE XLR has 3 XLR and RCA 2 inputs. This will make it possible to connect more sustainable sources equipped with analog outputs. The source selection can be made easily from the front panel or via the remote control.
The apparatus offers two balanced XLR outputs and an output asymmetric RCA.

Dial indicators are used to measure points on a 3-dimensional surface that would be impossible to measure with linear measuring tools. They can be used to measure outer surfaces or the inner expanses of apertures, such as holes. Dial indicators are available at hardware stores. Use these tips to learn how to read a dial indicator.
Prepare the Dial Indicator for Use
Take the Desired Measurement
1Measure outer surfaces by closing the large flat jaws of the dial gauge gently on the part to be measured.
- Measure a cylindrical surface, such as a pipe, by making sure that the body of the dial gauge is held perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. Failure to hold the dial gauge perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical body being measured will cause inaccurately large measurements.
2Measure inner apertures with the smaller pointed jaws on the back of the dial gauge head. Insert the small jaws into the aperture and extend them until they touch the inner surfaces.
- Measure the inside diameter of a round hole by making sure that the body of the dial gauge is held in the same plane as the hole. Failure to hold the dial gauge body in the plane of the hole will result in inaccurately large measurements.
- Measure the inside diameter of a round hole by making sure that the dial gauge jaws are measuring the full diameter of the hole. Keep one jaw of the dial gauge in place and sweep the other back and forth. Find the spot where the dial gauge jaw being swept no longer has the room to sweep. This technique will result in the measurement of the full diameter of the hole.
Obtain the Measurement Reading From the Dial Gauge
1Determine the position of the leading surface of the dial gauge head along the marked scale on the body of the dial gauge. The lines on the body are numbered, with each number representing a step of 1 cm (0.394 inches). There are 10 unnumbered lines between the numbered lines. Each unnumbered line represents 0.1 cm (0.039 inches). Use the highest line that is visible to the left of the leading surface of the dial gauge head. For example, if the highest line to the left of the leading edge of the dial gauge head is 2 unnumbered lines above the numbered line 3, note that as 3.2 cm (1.260 inches).
2Convert the reading to mm. Multiply by 10. In the example started above, 3.2 cm (1.260 inches) is changed to 32 mm (1.260 inches).
3Obtain the reading from the dial of the dial gauge. One full revolution of the dial represents 1 mm (0.0394 inches). 100 divided lines are shown on the face of the dial gauge to give a resolution of 0.01 mm (0.0039) per line. Add this to the reading. To continue the example started above, a dial reading of 64 would add 0.64 mm (0.025 inches) to the number measured as 32 mm (1.260 inches). This brings the final measurement to 32.64 mm (1.285 inches).

Kendra Wilkinson's Father-in-Law Says Divorce Rumors Are 'Crap'
By Zach Dionne Posted Jan 6th 2011 11:06AM
RadarOnline.com reports sources close to the couple, including Kendra's mother, have also shot down rumors of any true marital break.
"The marriage is fine, and they came to the decision together that they'd be both better off with him concentrating on his career and she could concentrate on her career here in LA," mother Patti Wilkinson told Radar recently.
A source close to Kendra similarly reassured PopEater in November 2010, saying: "Kendra has been an amazing wife and mom, but she had to make a real adjustment in her life and career last year to live in Indianapolis when Hank signed with the Colts. Now, he is with Minnesota, which is so cold, remote and far away from LA. She had to make a decision despite having disagreements with Hank about it."
Wilkinson, 25, and Baskett, 28, have a 1-year-old son named Hank. Baskett is a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings.
"It's a joke," Radar's source says of split rumors. "There are no plans on getting a divorce. They're going to be out and about at events in Los Angeles."
Looks like the source was right -- this story's image of Kendra and Hank was snapped yesterday, Jan. 5, in West Hollywood.
Update: HollywoodLife reports that Baskett and Wilkinson are living together again in LA, with the Vikings' season having wrapped. "And, according to our source, the couple is even looking to buy a new home together," the site writes.

A "mechanical failure" while on rope resulted in the death of an Alabama man this weekend, Sunday, January 31, 2021, at the South Pittsburg Preserve in Marion County, TN. Crews from Chattanooga/Hamilton County Rescue Service assisted South Pittsburgh Fire/Rescue, Marion Co. Sheriff’s Office, and South Pittsburg Police Department where the man was pronounced dead before being extracted from the pit.
According to Marion County News: "Though details are scarce, reportedly, the man was in the process of rappelling into the cave when, whether through mechanical failure or other cause, the climber entered into a free fall into the entrance falling about 100 feet. The victim survived the initial impact according to South Pittsburg Police Chief Wayne Jordan but was pronounced deceased at the scene before the victim could be extracted from the fall area." - [David Riley - Marion County News]
No other details have been released from law enforcement but we will update this article as new information comes to light.
