This guide covers the steps and torque specifications required for installing the AR-15 barrel. We'll also cover how to install the gas block and tube, allowing your barreled upper to function as soon as you install your BCG and throw it onto your lower receiver. Total installation time requires approximately 30 to 60 minutes. I'm important to have some specialty tools for this process, so let's see what's required.
Barrel Install: Grab These Tools
Vise (not pictured). A vise is required for securing the upper receiver while you torque the barrel.
Torque Wrench. A torque wrench is required to achieve the proper torque specifications for the barrel nut.
Breaker bar / Ratchet. You'll need to loosen and re-tighten the barrel nut three times. The torque wrench should never be used to loosen the barrel nut. Instead, use a breaker bar or ratchet wrench.
Barrel Nut Wrench. A barrel nut wrench will install on the torque wrench and lock onto the barrel nut to apply appropriate torque.
3/32", 5/32" Punches. Most gas blocks -- especially low-profile gas blocks -- use 3/32" and 5/32" roll pins for securing the block to the barrel, and the gas tube to the block. To seat these roll pins, punches are typically required.
Grease. To prevent damage to the receiver's threads and the barrel nut, grease is required when tightening and loosening the barrel nut. Simple Tetra Gun Grease or any other firearm grease is sufficient. Do not use grease that contains metallic additives like graphite or copper, as it will damage the receiver and weaken the threads over time. Military specifications say to use Aeroshell 33MS, though it's not necessary.
The Armorers Essentials Kit includes a torque wrench, Armorer's Wrench with barrel nut fitting, and vise block.
Receiver Vise Clamp / Reaction Rod (not pictured). The receiver itself can scratch or deform under high pressure when clamped in the vise. A receiver vise clamp or reaction rod (which seats on the barrel extension and clamps into the vise) is not required, but highly recommended to protect your receiver from damage.
Gunsmithing Hammer. To make seating the gas block and gas tube roll pins easier with punches, it's recommended you invest in a small brass gunsmithing hammer.
Allen Keys. Most gas block use a set of Allen-head holds to hold the block in place while you insert the roll pins. A set of Allen keys may be necessary for tightening these screws.
Gas Tube Alignment Tool. This helps to ensure the gas tube is aligned inside the upper receiver for interfacing with the gas key on the bolt carrier group during operation. You can simply install your bolt carrier and use it to align the tube if necessary.
Barrel Install: Parts Required
Barrel and Barrel Extension. Duh. Virtually all barrels come with the extension installed. We don't recommend trying to install the extension yourself. It requires an excessive amount of torque and industrial equipment is usually used.
Barrel Nut. The barrel nut secures the barrel to the receiver by clamping over the end of the barrel extension.
Gas Block and Tube. Make sure you have the appropriate gas tube for your barrel's gas system port length (pistol, carbine, mid-length, or rifle-length).
Gas Block and Tube Roll Pins. Make sure the gas block and tube roll pins are present.
Gas Block Set Screws. If your gas block uses Allen-head screws to secure to the barrel, ensure they're present.
Handguard and Handguard Nut. Your handguard may secure to your AR-15 using a nut that sits between the barrel nut and receiver. That means you might need to have your handguard and its hardware available for this install. We'll be illustrating this in this guide.
AR-15 Barrel Installation
First, make sure your receiver is safely clamped in your vise, preferably with a vise block or reaction rod.
Step 1: Insert Barrel Extension into Receiver
Apply grease to the barrel extension and receiver's threads. Then insert the barrel extension into the receiver and ensure the pin on the extension fully seats inside the notch in the threads.
Step 2: Hand-Thread Barrel Nut
Check your handguard's instructions to confirm whether you need to first install a fastener for the handguard before installing the barrel nut. If a handguard fastener is required, ensure it's oriented so the pass-through hole for the gas tube aligns with the gas tube hole in the receiver. Next, orient the barrel nut so the wrench fittings face the muzzle and hand-tighten the nut. You might need to remove the gas block if it came installed on the barrel with the set screws.
Once hand-threaded, check inside the receiver to confirm the feed ramps on the receiver and the extension perfectly align. If they aren't aligned, you may run into issues with ammo feeding from the magazine.
Step 3: Torque Barrel Nut Three Times
The barrel nut needs to be torqued, loosened, then re-torqued three times. This "seasons" the softer aluminum threads on the receiver and ensures the barrel is properly secured for accuracy and stability.
Barrel nut torque specs
Most barrels or handguards that use barrel nut fasteners come with advertised torque specifications. If your barrel or handguard does not provide torque specs, tighten the barrel nut to 40 to 50 ft-lbs. The U.S Army says an acceptable torque rating is between 30 and 80 ft-lbs. (page 3-43 of the mil-spec manual).
How to Properly Tighten and Loosen the Nut
Most barrel nut wrenches and adapters are open-ended. They can bend outward under torque, rendering them inoperable, if not used correctly. To properly tighten the barrel nut, seat the wrench so that the teeth of the wrench are pulled into the fittings on the nut. See below for the proper setup:
- Tighten the nut from the left side of the receiver, pulling the wrenches downward.
- Keep the barrel nut wrench and torque wrench parallel to each other to apply proper torque.
- Use the barrel nut with a ratchet wrench or large breaker bar. Do not the torque wrench to loosen.
- To loosen the nut, secure the barrel nut wrench underneath the barrel and pull up from the left side.
Repeat these steps three times, until tightening the barrel nut a final and third time. Again, torque to between 40 and 50 lb-ft. if torque specifications are not provided by your barrel or handguard manufacturer.
Step 4: Install Gas Tube and Gas Block
First, slide the gas tube into the gas block. Ensure the end of the gas tube with a small pin hole for the roll pin is inserted into the block.
Now slide the gas block onto the barrel, aligning the gas tube with the pass-through hole in the receiver, and handguard fastener if applicable.
Step 5: Install Gas Block Screws
Grab the roll pins and any set screws for securing the gas block to the barrel. Visually align the roll pin hole in the gas block with the notch in the barrel, and tighten the set screws. They do not need to be excessively torqued.
Step 6: Align Gas Tube, Install Gas Block Roll Pin
You can align the gas tube inside the receiver with an alignment tool or the bolt carrier Grab the larger roll pin and appropriate punch (usually 5/32") to install the pin into the block and barrel.
Tapping the roll pin into place can be difficult, as most gas blocks have rounded edges. It may help to reorient the upper receiver so the gas block roll pin hole is vertical. Gently tap the pin into place. You might try starting the pin with just the head of your hammer, followed by using the punch to fully seat the pin.
Most gas block pins are longer than the block itself. Ensure the pin is equally protruding from the block on both sides.
Step 7: Install Gas Tube Roll Pin
Now install the roll pin for the gas tube in the same fashion. It might help to have a pair of needle-nose pliers to hold the pin in the hole while you tape it into the block and tube. Like the gas block pin, tapping the pin directly with the hammer to get it started, followed by using a punch (usually 3/32") might work best.
Once seated, the gas tube roll pin should be flush on both sides of the block. Verify alignment of the tube is still correct inside the receiver with the alignment tool. If you left the bolt carrier inserted fully, alignment should be fine.
AR Barrel Install Complete
Your AR-15's new barrel and gas system installation is complete!
Now, you can refer to your handguard's instructions for securing the handguard or rail system to your rifle or pistol.

Applications of the Mathematical Modelling of Microwave Thawing of Foods
CAMPAÑONE L.; ZARITZKY N.
Congreso; VII Congreso Iberoamericano de Ingeniería de Alimentos (CIBIA VII); 2009
The use of microwaves in the food industry is founded on the shorter times required to increase foodstuffs temperature when compared to conventional heating methods.A mathematical tridimensional model was developed by solving the unsteady state heat transfer differential equation to analyze behavior of food microwave thawing. The model can be applied to large systems for which Lamberts law is valid. Thermal, and electromagnetic properties varying with temperature were used. The experimentally validated model was applied to predict temperature profiles under different thawing conditions in meat products. Numerical simulations were also used to determine influence of the product size on microwave thawing times in comparison with convencional thawing. To prevent overheating during thawing, the combination of continuous microwave power with simultaneous application of air convection and the application of microwave power cycles, using refrigerated air convection with controlled surface temperature, were analyzed

An extended winter season no matter what the calendar says has made it difficult for road crews to keep up with road repairs as the freezing and thawing combined with cold temperatures has created some monster potholes.
"We have them just like everybody else, and they are monsters this year," exclaimed Newcomerstown Mayor Pat Cadle. "The street department is aware of them and they get to them as fast as they can."
A unique challenge that Newcomerstown crews face is getting patch material from New Philadelphia and then keeping it warm on the drive back to the village.
"We are in the process of getting a machine that will keep the mix hot," said Cadle. "Right now, we have to load the mix into a dump truck and then drive back to town and fill the holes before it becomes solid. That can be difficult to accomplish, especially with colder temperatures."
Cadle said funds to repair potholes in the village are part of the annual budget.
"Street Superintendent Travis Goodwill tells us they spend on average $8,000 to $10,000 a year on material to fix potholes," said Cadle. "We are fortunate to have a street levy that helps pay for such repairs to our streets."
All roadways and related infrastructure within municipalities, including state and county routes, are the responsibilities of each municipality.
The Village of Newcomerstown’s transportation system consist of about 28 miles of paved roads, one 1 mile of unpaved roadways, one bridge and various sidewalks.
The Newcomerstown Street Department can be reached at 740-498-8655. Service hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A day after Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signed an ordinance banning medical marijuana storefronts, Los Angeles City said Thursday that he looks forward to enforcing the law and restoring civic calm to neighborhoods overwhelmed by a high concentration of pot clinics.
“With the mayor’s signature, it is my hope that communities throughout the City of Los Angeles can now begin to reclaim their neighborhoods from the over-proliferation of illegal marijuana storefront dispensaries,” said Huizar, who helped draft the ordinance.
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously on July 25 to ban pot storefronts but allow individual patients and groups of three patients or less to grow their own pot for medical use. Hospices and licensed clinics would be exempted from the ban, as would facilities and home health agencies where patients get medical care or supportive services.
The immediate need, added Huizar, is for city authorities to focus on enforcing the so-called “gentle ban,” which is scheduled to be enforced within 30 days of the mayor’s signature.
The ban, which was championed by Councilmembers Mitchell Englander, Bernard Parks and Jan Perry, has the support of Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck, the City Attorney's Office and District Attorney Steve Cooley. The ordinance would prevail until the California Supreme Court rules on the issue of medical marijuana and its distribution, Huizar said.
“In the interim, we would encourage legitimate medical marijuana patients to advocate their state legislature to fix the flawed state law so that only seriously ill patients with documented medical history have access to medical marijuana,” Huizar told Eagle Rock Patch.
That scenario, he added, “is what we all thought we were voting for when we supported the Compassionate Use Act” stemming from Proposition 215, the 1996 ballot measure regarding the medical use of marijuana.
The ordinance is LA’s "best option to preserve access to medical marijuana for patients while protecting public safety and quality of life for all Angelenos," Villaraigosa said Wednesday evening, shortly after signing the ban. "We look forward to a clarification from the state Supreme Court on this vague and ambiguous [state] law so the city can effectively plan for the future."
LA's marijuana ordinance is highly unlikely to go unchallenged by pot clinics, many of which are already in the midst of lawsuits agaisnt the city over its efforts to regulate the distribution of marijuana. Moments before the City Council voted for the ban last week, Special Assistant City Attorney Jane Usher told the Council that she expects further lawsuits from dispensaries.
The mayor’s signature on the ban was welcomed by President Michael Larsen, who had campaigned against medical marijuana storefronts, arguing that the presence of as many as 15 of them in the Eagle Rock area are disruptive to community life.
"It's been a long road for the ERNC, which has been fighting for reasonable regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries for more than four years now," Larsen said. "We are pleased that the ordinance will control an out-of-control situation, and we look forward to a time when legitimate patients can access medical-grade marijuana products in a way consistent with established medical standards as well as standards consistent with California law and local communities."
Larsen praised Huizar's "exhaustive efforts as well as his exemplary leadership" in crafting the ordinance. "Credit and thanks go to him and his staff for their hard work on behalf of the community of Eagle Rock," Larsen said.

Brooks Nader in Blue Bikini With Husband Billy Haire on The Beach in Miami 12-13-2020
Brooks Nader married her husband Billy Haire in New Orleans last December, just months after she was named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s Model Search winner.
And, on Saturday, the lovebirds, who dated for more than three years before tying the knot, celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on a romantic getaway.
Looking every inch the beaming newlywed, the 24-year-old model couldn’t keep her hands off her man, 34, as they hit the ocean in Miami Beach, Florida.
While rocking a tiny sky blue Eze Wear bikini and jewelry from Cartier and Ring Concierge, the beauty passionately wrapped her arms around Haire.
After the pair engaged in a steamy makeout session, the duo headed back to the shore to enjoy drinks and catch some rays as they enjoyed the glorious weather.
Before wading out of the waves, Nader put on a very busty display in her barely-there two-piece, which showcased every curve on her incredibly toned frame.
Later, she threw her wet and lengthy brown tresses in a ponytail, while wearing a pair of classic aviator sunglasses and gold hoop earrings.
Haire wore a pair of grey and white patterned board shorts, which he ultimately styled with a blue t-shirt and a white baseball cap on their beach walk.
Meanwhile, his love kept her look sexy with a cropped white tony, barely-there denim shorts and a black Yankees baseball cap.

Cold and cramped, Chinese struggle home by train
By Ben Blanchard
ON BOARD TRAIN L295, China (Reuters) - The window panes
have frozen solid, and the cold has forced the 15 people
crammed in a small space in a train headed for China's east to
huddle even closer together for warmth.
stuffed into bursting, tattered, nylon bags and old plastic
buckets, has experienced it many times before.
"This is actually quite good," said Wang, who has already
spent 20 hours without a seat on the train on his way down from
near the Mongolian border where he works.
"Last year the train was so packed you had to fight for an
hour just to get to the toilet," adds Wang, still with another
20 hours to go before getting home to the eastern province of
Wang is just one of an estimated 144 million people --
equivalent to the population of Bangladesh -- who are taking
the train home for Chinese New Year, which starts this weekend.
Many of these are migrant workers from poor, inland Chinese
provinces like Anhui, who work on building sites and as
waitresses and whose wages of often less than $100 a month help
power China's economy, the world's sixth largest.
Too poor to afford sleeping berths, they are lucky if they
can get a seat or just stand in the heated parts of the train
for journeys that may last more than 48 hours.
Liu Qingshan couldn't.
He sits cradling his five-year-old son Boqi, his wispy
mustache tickling his son's face as he crouches on a metal
floor on train L295 bound for southern Anhui's Anqing city. His
breath freezes as he tries to snuggle up to the boy's shaved
His wife has found someone willing to sell a space on a bed
in one of the sleeper carriages, but the 50 yuan ($6.20) asked
for is too much for a man who scrapes a living as a knick-knack
vendor in a city in China's frozen far northeast.
"I don't have that kind of cash," he whispers, fingering
through a thin pile of money stashed in his dirty coat.
The train conductor said there were 1,800 people on board,
instead of the normal complement of 1,000.
CIGARETTES AND TOILETS
The stench from the toilets starts wafting through the
carriage, mixing with the sour smell of smoke from cheap
cigarettes, soon after the train leaves Beijing at around 1
Some trains are so crowded that even using the toilet is
impossible, with state media reporting that migrant workers in
southern China had resorted to wearing adult diapers on long
Despite being packed in, most passengers on L295 are in
good spirits, happy to be going home -- many for the first time
in a year. They swap stories of sickness and weird regional
dialects spoken by co-workers.
A food trolley being forced through the crowds by a gruff
sounding woman annoys some.
"Get the hell out of my way!" she screams, slamming the
trolley into the back of a man squatting on a bucket that used
to hold fertilizer and now is filled with food and underwear.
"Bitch," he mutters under his breath, standing aside.
For the staff who work on the new year trains, this is a
time of year they dread, but there are benefits.
Conductor Sun Zhongyuan, 29, is sacrificing his new year to
work the trains out of Anhui's provincial capital Hefei, but is
earning triple time, a useful addition for a man who earns just
2,000 yuan a month and is hoping to start a family next year.
"At least I have a stable job," says the former soldier,
looking out of the window at the snow-covered countryside
zipping past. "It's better than working in a field or on a
Not everyone on board is going to have a family reunion
this year, however.
Miao Zhenhua's wife had to stay behind in Beijing to work
at the family business, a fast food restaurant.
"If she didn't, we wouldn't be able to afford to go home
next year," says Miao, though his son Zhijun is with him.
"I couldn't afford to buy any presents. I had to spend the
money on these tickets."

Andrea and I landed at Charles de Gaulle in the early morning. We fumbled around the airport, found a way to purchase train tickets into the city, and, although exhausted, we happily planted ourselves on the commuter train.
I glanced around at the passengers and noticed a young woman reading the bestseller, Eat, Pray, Love.
“That’s what we’re going to do, “Andrea joked. “Except we’re going to Eat, Pray, Love in a week!”
We burst into excited laughter. Our adventures were just about to begin!
Once we made it into the city, we navigated ourselves — and our ridiculously heavy luggage — through the underground Metro. We had rented an apartment in the Marais for the week, and were desperate to settle in.
Thankfully, Andrea speaks fluent French (I told you I have amazing friends), so we were able to make our way to Rue de Quincampoix looking far less touristy than we actually were. We met up with the apartment owner – a lovely young artist – but quickly realized that neither of us had Euros to pay the rent. (Note to self: change money before getting on the plane!) Delirious, we scrambled around the neighborhood to find a bank.
Money and keys finally changed hands, and we were officially Parisian residents. The two-story, 290-square foot apartment was much smaller than either of us had expected, but it had everything we needed. As soon as we climbed upstairs, we didn’t care. The view of the Parisian rooftops, not to mention the steeple of St. Paul- St. Louis Church (and the sound of its glorious bells), was worth the price alone. Sharing a bed was funny, but we were used to it.
We headed out, still dressed in almost two-day-old clothing. I was convinced that I smelled like re-circulated air from the plane, but it just didn’t matter.
We were in Paris.
We lunched at an outdoor café, just blocks from our apartment and the Pompidou Center. I turned my face towards the warm, glowing sunlight and inhaled the sweet afternoon breeze. It smelled of cigarette smoke, baked bread, history, B.O., champagne, romance and hope.
I suddenly realized that I had fallen in love. Paris had my heart. I was transfixed, and hungry for more.
We finished our light lunch and were off to the grocery store to stock our tiny kitchen with the most delicious French cheese, bread, jam, yogurt, tea, lettuce, fruit, vegetables and, of course, wine.
We returned to the apartment, took turns hovering in the Barbie-sized shower, and headed out again.
Over tired/excited, I dressed in the most ridiculous outfit I had packed – a green mini dress, a gold scarf my sisters had bought for me in Italy, a black leather jacket, and brown, almost-knee-high boots.
There was no set plan, but to explore.
We strolled towards the Seine. Our first stop was at a little café on the corner, overlooking one of the many famous, picturesque bridges. We had easily been lured in by a Hot French Waiter (Part Deux!), who eagerly served us. We nibbled on cheese and sipped little glasses of Kir as we watched the afternoon sunlight start to fade into a glorious, bustling city glow. Somewhere beyond my view stood the Eiffel Tower, in all of its glory.
I can’t believe I’m here!
Inevitably, I had to make my bladder gladder, so I excused myself inside the restaurant. Not looking where I was going, I ran into Hot French Waiter Part Deux and almost knocked over his tray of wine glasses.
“Oh!! Je suis désolé! Pardonnez-moi!!” I blushed, and tried to fake a good French accent. Maybe he wouldn’t notice that I couldn’t speak a lick of his native tongue.
He smiled, and grabbed my hand.
I stared at him. My hand started to tingle.
“What? No…no, my name is not Marie,” I replied, and then I realized I had blown my cover. Actress fail.
He threw his head back and laughed.
“I ask yooooou? Eeeeef yoooou? Are married,” he repeated, slowly, as if I didn’t understand English, either. His thick French accent was palpable. I took in a deep breath. Paris felt so good. And, there I was, standing in the middle of a romantic café, holding hands with a man. Just like that.
That familiar, wide grin spread across my face.
“No, I am not married. I am very single!” I laughed.
Still holding my hand, Hot French Waiter Part Deux got down on one knee.
“Veux-tu m’épouser? Will yooooou? Marry me? Beaauuuutiful, smiling woman!”
He stared deeply into my eyes as his lips lightly brushed the top of my hand.
Oh. My. Lorn.
My heart fluttered, my knees grew weak, and my bladder screamed at me.
“Uhhh, can I get back to you on that? I have to find ‘les toilettes’!”
Good one, Les.
He laughed, jumped up and gently guided me towards the restrooms.
Hot French Waiter Part Deux was busy when I returned to Andrea and our table. I gave her the quick replay. Why, yes, I had just received a marriage proposal within hours of landing in Paris. My life really wasn’t all that bad.
“You have to kiss him!” She urged.
“What?! No! No, I can’t do that!” I shook my head, and felt the hot flush of embarrassment rise to my cheeks.
“You said you were coming here to kiss somebody,” Andrea pointed out. “He just asked you to marry him. You can certainly give him a kiss!”
She was right. I was just so overprotective of myself, not to mention inexperienced. I had been on a handful of dates and only kissed three men since filing for divorce from X.
I took another sip of my Kir and reflected on my “love life”.
In August of 2010 — on X’s birthday, to be exact — I had a wild, unexpected makeout session with an old college crush. It was our second date – the first having been three months earlier. It was new, exciting and dangerous, and everything felt so…wrong.
He never called me again.
In December of that year, my friend basically dared me to kiss him, so I did. It was actually very sweet, but I insisted that we remain friends.
And, I had met a guy just a couple of weeks earlier, while in Minneapolis. I was out to dinner with my lovely friend and fellow Vixen, Julie (she is married to Brian Setzer). The restaurant was packed, so we sat at the bar. I thought nothing of it as I struck up a conversation with the friendly, cute bartender. He happened to be extremely smart, and a talented filmmaker, as well.
He asked me out on the spot.
I was shocked. That never happens in Los Angeles. At least not to me.
Why not? I thought. I was leaving town the next day, so nothing was going to happen.
Much to my own surprise, I found myself agreeing to kiss him, as well. He was old-fashioned, chivalrous and sweet. He treated me well and respected me. He also begged me to keep kissing him. He told me that he had never met anyone like me before. He was crazy about me, all in a matter of a few hours.
What was happening?
My self-protective, Don’t-come-near-me-and-hurt-me-you-douchehound signal had begun to flicker off. Apparently a stronger, Come-ask-me-to-marry-you signal had switched on. I needed to find a balance.
Andrea and I finished our “happy hour”, planted a few Euros atop the bill, and got up to leave. Hot French Waiter Part Deux swiftly re-appeared.
He held out his hands, as if I had mortally wounded him with my sudden departure. After all, I had never responded to his marriage proposal.
I walked towards him, put my arms around him, and hugged him hard. I then planted a bold, firm kiss on his cheek. He seemed rather surprised at my expression of affection.
“Merci,” I whispered, and then turned and sauntered down the cobblestone street, feeling happy, confident and – I daresay – sexy.
My French kissing warm up was complete.

In the mid-to-late 1990s, my family and I went to a Christian book store and bought a cassette that we played to death. Since then we lost the tape and my searches online haven't produced anything. I know this cassette exists!
So here's what I remember. There's a song called, " I can read you like a book." From what I remember it goes something like,
I can read you like a book,
by the cover how you look.
When I see you with a smile,
and a twinkle in your eye,
it's a for sure sign how you're feeling inside.
That's all all I can remember about that song.
There's another song called, "One more night with the frogs." It's the story of Moses and The Pharaoh.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Happy Monday Sunshines! Today a quick post along with a video dairy on my trip to Disneyland.
Two weeks ago, my boyfriend surprised me and took the day off to take me to Disneyland. I’ve been to Disneyland HK nearly 10 years ago and was so disappointed by it. Mainly because I was expecting a big park filled with rollercoasters. Little did I know, it was mainly catered for small children and within an hour or two you’d pretty much seen the entire park. So this time around, despite that I’ve heard the park had expanded, I had absolutely no expectations.
We arrived around 3 and if it wasn’t for my excessive picture and video taking, we’d be done a lot sooner. On the bright side, it wasn’t as humid and since we went on a weekday, we rarely had to wait in line for the limited number of rides they had.
The park is had 7 main section; Adventureland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, Toy Story Land, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Main Street. Though none of them really stood out to me, I did enjoy the vibe of Toy Story Land. They enlarged everything so that you’d feel tiny and was decorated in large colourful fairy lights.
There were a few parades as well during the day, though we didn’t really catch them except the night parade. I’m not a big fan parades so I tend to skip them but we had to watch the final one as they blocked the roads towards the exit. Other than that, they also have a firework show, which people did say was worth to watch, though I’ve seen plenty so we skipped that to go on a few more rides while there weren’t any lines.
Overall it was a fun day out with beautiful views and an amazing sunset, the park really comes to live at night so it was great to walk around and experience it in the night time. In the end, this park is not really something I’d recommend people to go to, there is a much nicer amusement park where both kids and adults can be entertained called Ocean Park here in HK which is a lot cheaper, bigger and overall worth it.

EG Group acquires Leon restaurant chain
Asda owner EG Group has acquired Leon, the ‘naturally fresh fast food’ restaurant chain.
EG Group said the move forms part of its strategy of seeking significant growth in its non-fuel and foodservice operations.
Founded by John Vincent, Henry Dimbleby and chef Allegra McEvedy in 2004, Leon has over 70 restaurants. These include 42 company-owned sites operated on leasehold locations and 29 franchised sites at transport hubs across the UK and five other European markets, principally The Netherlands.
Leon also generates revenue from its branded cookbooks, own brand groceries and home delivery ready meals.
EG Group said the acquisition of Leon as a proprietary brand will enhance the current foodservice portfolio that it operates, which includes third party brands such as Starbucks, KFC, Burger King, Greggs, Sbarro, Cinnabon and Subway.
The company is now planning to open around 20 Leon sites per year from 2022 and also sees significant potential for Leon’s non-restaurant products across its convenience retail proposition.
Mohsin and Zuber Issa, co-founders and co-chief executive of EG Group, said: “Leon is a fantastic brand that we have long admired. As established entrepreneurs in the foodservice retail market ourselves, we have a huge admiration for the business that John and the LEON team have built over the years, and firmly believe that their culture and values closely align with our own.
“The acquisition of Leon presents EG Group with a fantastic opportunity to further develop the menu offer, the various concession formats including drive thrus, and will enable us to significantly build on the existing network by exploring opportunities across our own sites along with other strategic locations.”

Last year I started adding transcriptions and few words about them in my main blog but after a while I had the impression that this is not the best way to id. So, I decided to split the content and move all bassline transcriptions and other bits concerning music to this place here.
With this very first post, I want to start with a musical discovery I made last year: Anderson .Paak (born Brandon Paak Anderson) and his second album called Malibu. The entire album draws a lot from classic funky and electronic music while his vocals are a refreshing different from typical RnB singers you can hear on the radio. Even though he’s on the scene for a while now, he became most famous known for collaborating with Dr. Dre on Compton.
Compared to the rest of the songs, Celebrate is a bit different. Whereas most songs feature the laid back drum and bass grooves that – with the help of drummer Questlove and bassist Pino Palladino – made D’Angelo’s neo-soul style famous, Celebrate sounds like a reminiscence to soul and R&B songs from the 60s with a hint of Gospel.
Together with drums and piano, there is a strong emphasis on the one of the beat and occasional eighth note syncopations. Even though these could be the ingredients for a funky beat, it is actually way more relaxed due to the slow tempo and the way the bass plays slightly behind the beat. So my tip to getting this one right: listen to the record!

The Sikk'et Hul
D&D 3e (3.0/3.5) Rules
How to run a campaign in the Sikk'et Hul
Over the years of being involved in Dragonlance one of the questions that comes up again and again is "Where can I run a campaign in the Age of Mortals?" Now many of us are aware of the wonderful trilogy that Cam Banks wrote in battling Frost, but where else can you find adventure that feels like a campaign. For the last few weeks we on the Adventure Portal team have been outlining areas and events in Ergoth that are ripe for it. In Northern Ergoth the chance for a running a campaign in the Age of Mortals is endless.
Where Can I Run This Campaign?
There are countless locations that you could begin your adventure in. In the capital of Gwynned you could begin with making contacts with relic seekers, go the route of scouting for the military or you could head out to explore the region of Sikk'er Hul. This region is an uncharted and undocumented place. What lies here is a chance for a great campaign for someone who understands its history.
History of Sikk'et Hul
The region known as Sikk'et Hul has a rich history dating back to well before the Cataclysm. In the Age of Dreams this land was once lush and green. It was home to a civilization that has long since been forgotten and its ruins still dot the landscape to this day. At this time the land was teaming with life and was far from the harsh lands that it has become.
The landscape was much different during this period as a small forest grew on the southern parts of the Sentinel Mountains connecting the woods on both sides of the mountain. The cities teaming in this part of were built of stone from the mountains and were sprawling in size. Roads connected the towns in the area and large farms dotted the rich fertile soil.
All of this changed during the Second Dragon War when this part of the world became a footnote in history. During the war the land became a focal point for two feuding nations. It is unsure of what caused the conflict but it was limited to this area and was extremely intense.
Near the end of the Second Dragon War the conflict became even more deadly as both sides resorted to total war. The amount of damage done will never be known but the viciousness of the fights pushed the conflict into a turning point of annihilation. This war was only concluded by a chance release of raw, wild magic that decimated the area.
The wave of magic that struck the Southern tip of the Sentinel Mountains was part of the magic released during the war, but the damage it did to the area was severe. Whole cities were toppled and disappeared, the forest that was at the base of the Sentinels in the south was gone, not a single tree stood. The people of the land were also gone, presumably buried as miles of dirt flew into the area and resettled onto the area.
This wouldn't be the only event to strike this area that would eventually become known as Sikk'et Hul. In the years post the Second Dragon Wars this land would fall under the rule of Ergoth and once again be resettled. Towns and roads were laid atop of those that had been buried, all too unknown settlers who built homes and farms on the fertile lands.
These lands would eventually be given to goblin tribes as they proved difficult to govern given their distance from Ergoth. Also the goblins would serve as an effective barrier against any Solamnic invasion force. The towns were abandoned once again in the region and slowly the lands that were once settled were dragged back into the wild.
The next major change in the area came with the Cataclysm as it changed the face of the lands. In the years leading up to this event the lands in this area had been hit by a major drought. The once fertile land lay exposed by the brutal sun and wind, and slowly was turning into a barren wasteland. When the world shook from the fiery mountain, the lands found it suffering from earthquakes that resulted in it becoming a coastline.
When the dust settled the once pristine land was barren and parts of it had become a desert. The ruins of former towns and cities in the area had disappeared under the lands and the years of survival the residents forgot about their existence. Goblins in the area eked out a living from the land and had to become very knowledgeable about survival.
The land would once again be forgotten until Emperor Mercadior Redic VI decided to reclaim the lands for the exploding population of Ergoth. As the first scouts traveled into this area they discovered that the rumors they had heard for years were true. Even as far back as the War of the Lance as people pursued the remnants of the Black Dragonarmy there were whispers of great ruins in this land.
These rumors were confirmed as adventurers in the area discovered not only one layer but several layers of ruins sprawling under many parts of the land. The stories tell of passages that lead to other sites located under the waters of the Sirrion Sea. These ruins do not lie empty as many have already been claimed by a variety of people. Descendants of the former Black Dragonarmy settled into the southern ruins, while goblins inhabit many of them in the north. There are also rumors of other creatures living in these places.
So What Can I do With This?
The chance of taking a group into this region and playing without a plan will ultimately lead a DM into difficulty. With so much land that is uncharted a DM must step up and decide what lies where and why. Are there many ruins? Are they sprawling? Are there layers of cities and towns on top of each other?
These questions once answered can help fill in many of the missing links. Combine those answers with the history of this region, you can create a great campaign in which you can take players into what Dragonlance also has been, a rediscovery of what has been lost. Who were these people that battled each other, what caused the magic wave, what was the goblin civilization like prior to the Cataclysm? Many questions that you as a DM decide the answers and where to take to the players.
Southern Ruins: These ruins all are similar in structure in shape. A successful history check will put the building into years prior to the Cataclysm. The buildings are all laid out in a similar fashion and seem to be built with defense in mind. If you find an entrance into this underground caverns that contain the different ruins of the area. The ruins are small settlements and the contents are usually of nothing remarkable, unfortunately though these settlements aren't empty. The descendants of the Black Dragonarmy settles into these caves and caverns to escape the defeat by the Ergothian army in the closing days of the War of the Lance.
The Tomb of the Weeping Woman: This tomb is located in the eastern portion and was discovered by the first scouts to enter the area. What appears to be a simple underground tomb was actually a complex underground maze that has never been fully explored. In the tomb there are writings that are from a lost language, but the drawings on the walls provide some clues to the contents of the maze. It is said that strange creatures live in those tunnels and few who have ventured in have returned alive.
The Crack: In the north there lies a crack that opens the ground; it is believed that this happened during the Cataclysm. The crack travels down several miles and the top of it is inhabited by a fierce tribe of goblins who have lived there for centuries. Deeper down lays older ruins of strangely shaped buildings, these buildings are similar to other discovered ruins in the area, but their purposes are a mystery. Many of the buildings found in the lower levels of the crack appear to have been involved in a great battle.
Black Dragonarmy: This force has lived in the southern ruins for almost 80 years undetected. With their defeat in Ergoth the army had no chance of escape and what remained of the command led them into the wastelands. Here they expected to die as they were harassed by goblins who did not want competition for the precious resources.
It was a stroke of luck that they discovered the Southern Ruins. Settling in the ruins was difficult but overtime the army has grown, with raids on border settlements to the area the group was able to get needed supplies and people. The organization of the Black Dragonarmy has stayed the same, as the current Highlord rules his divisions spread throughout the ruins. While not seeking outside attention the group has turned its attention to exploring the strange ruins and going under the waters of the Sirrion Sea.
Goblin Tribes: There are countless goblin tribes in the area. Some of the tribes are considered friendly to outsiders curious perhaps by their close proximity to Hylo. Other tribes have become increasingly aggressive as resources in the land are scarce. These tribes are cunning often inviting in strangers and then robbing them. With the recent push by the military into this area the goblins have become even more aggressive to outsiders.
Bakali: Deep under the maze that lies beneath the Weeping Woman's tomb lies a long forgotten race. These creatures patrol the maze to eliminate any threat to their homes below. It is unknown what exactly lies beneath the maze, but the Bakali defend it with a viciousness that makes even the most courageous fighter think twice.
You have been given the information here to create a campaign in the wasteland of Sikk'et Hul. Here is a land of outpost of Ergothian soldiers, lost civilizations, dangers from the deep, tribes of goblins and those thought defeated. It is ripe with adventure searching for the forgotten cities and the lost history of the region. What once was here, how did it fall and is there another magical wave building threatening the land again.......

Vapor HF/H2O etching
Optical modulator devices
|Citation:||Sensors and Actuators A: Physical 64(3): 247-251 (1998)|
|Abstract:||An HF/H2O vapor etching technique has been applied as a sacrificial oxide etching process step in surface-micromachining technology. This technique does not suffer from the notorious problem known as stiction, i.e., permanent attachment of movable structures to the underlying substrate during drying after a conventional wet etch process is used. Vapor condensation has been controlled by adjusting the temperature difference between the substrate and the HF/H2O liquid source of vapor. Optical modulator devices have been fabricated to demonstrate the large possibilities of the vapor etching technique. Movable polysilicon membranes with a surface area of 10 mm2 and a thickness of 0.73 μm over a 1.65 μm air gap have been routinely obtained with a 100% yield.|

Social distancing shopping is my worst nightmare. Queuing, following a set route, being nice to people, it all makes my blood boil. What should I do? Go out or shop online?
As social distancing relaxes, we’re now being asked to consider setting up a Coronavirus social bubble with other people. I’m quite excited by the options of who I could choose. However I’m a bit bored of my family after six weeks, so I’m wondering whether I should ditch them and bubble with some different people?

The largest agribusinesses in southern Russia are planning to increase sugar production
One of the largest agribusinesses in Russia, Progress Agro, plans to increase sugar production by 1.5-1.7 times in 2021. This was reported by RIA Novosti citing the company's sales director Igor Ganin.
According to him, because of the lingering rains the sugar beet plant lags behind by about three weeks, and because of this the root crop will not have time to "gain physiological maturity. Because of this, the yield and sugar content may fall by about 15-20%. Nevertheless, the losses may be compensated by increasing the sowing area by 2 thousand hectares, said the agro-holding.
"The plant plans to produce more sugar than last year, up to 110-120 thousand tons," Ganin told the agency.
Earlier it was reported that Russia is lagging behind in sowing sugar beet. In addition, the agreement on the fixing of sugar prices will expire on June 1. All this may provoke rising prices of sugar in stores.

Donald Trump was a huuuuuuge part of the "Saturday Night Live" Season 41 premiere. Miley Cyrus was the host and musical guest, but she was arguably upstaged by the real Hillary Clinton, who played Val the bartender opposite Kate McKinnon, playing Hillary. The real Hillary did a hilarious Donald Trump impression, which followed Taran Killam's Donald Trump impression, which was part of the SNL cold open. That opening also included Cecily Strong as Trump's wife Melania, who mocked her own husband.
Here's the cold open and Hillary-to-Hillary sketch:
The Donald responded the way so many celebs do nowadays -- by retweeting the flattering opinions of fans. So here are a few reactions from Trump('s minions):
"Let us then tap our fists in friendship." pic.twitter.com/RkRru8dqNE— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 4, 2015

Polypeptides can be prepared via ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs). Conventional initiators, such as primary amines, give slow NCA polymerization, which requires multiple days to reach completion and can result in substantial side reactions, especially for very reactive NCAs. Moreover, current NCA polymerizations are very sensitive to moisture and must typically be conducted in a glove box. We have discovered that lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS) initiate an extremely rapid NCA polymerization process that is completed within minutes or hours and can be conducted in an open vessel.
Polypeptides have broad applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery and antimicrobials. Preparing polypeptides via polymerization on amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) has been the most efficient synthetic strategy. However, NCA polymerization is notoriously sensitive to moisture. In addition, the most widely used initiator primary amine only initiate slow polymerization and provide polypeptides in short to moderate chain length. It is a long lasting desire to develop new NCA polymerization chemistry that is not sensitive to moisture, fast and ability to prepare polypeptides in long chain.
We developed the LiHMDS-initiated open vessel NCA polymerization that addressed all above challenges. Firstly, LiHMDS can initiate NCA polymerization outside of the glovebox in open vessels on benchtop without any protection. The simple operation facilitates large scale synthesis and parallel synthesis of polypeptide libraries. Secondly, LiHMDS-initiated NCA polymerization can complete within mins to hours in sharp contrast to days when using a common primary amine as the initiator. The superfast polymerization is suitable to prepare long chain polypeptides. up to 1294-mer for poly-BLG (Mn=283400 g/mol). Thirdly, LiHMDS is a stable and commercially available initiator that is easy accessible for any lab. LiHMDS from different vendors, different lots and different synthetic methods all perform almost identical in NCA polymerization. Fourthly, both N- and C-terminal groups can be tuned easily using this NCA polymerization to obtain modifications and conjugations on polypeptides. Last but not the least, LiHMDS-initiated NCA polymerization provided polypeptides with defined secondary structures that are important for many biological activities and functions.
NCA polymerization and resulting polypeptides have attracted more and more attentions and interests from researchers who may have background in biology, materials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering rather than organic chemistry. Therefore, we contribute the LiHMDS-initiated NCA polymerization to the scientific community to help researchers prepare polypeptides easily, without relying on glovebox and synthetic skills, and explore functions and applications of polypeptides conveniently.

City gives nod to Suburban Collection for new building
Construction of a vehicle prep building for the Suburban Collection is expected to get under way this year at Farmington’s new Freedom Plaza, thanks to final site plan approval Monday by the Farmington Planning Commission.
The 17,300-square foot single story building is the last piece of the site’s planned unit development, approved in 2014 for the property. The prep building will occupy the southern eight acres of the property – where a Kmart building and a couple other businesses once stood.
Besides the new prep building, components of the PUD include improvements to the Tile Shop as well as construction of a three-story, 35,000-square foot office/retail building on the north end of the site. That work has been ongoing for the past few months.
“This is the last piece of the development,” said Kevin Christiansen, Farmington’s economic and community development director. “We’re very excited to see it happen, and we welcome (the Suburban Collection) to the City of Farmington.”
The next step for the Suburban Collection project is submission of detailed construction plans for review. Once approved, permits will be issued, Christiansen said.
Freedom Plaza, located on Grand River Avenue at Freedom Road, is the new name for the site previously called the Grand River-Halsted Plaza. Demolition of the site’s Kmart and its other buildings– except for The Tile Shop – occurred in early 2015. When the Farmington City Council approved the preliminary PUD for the property, Mayor Bill Galvin called the vacant center the “poster child” for the recent recession.

Carry On – Rainbow Rowell
Young Adult, LGBTQ+, fantasy, romance, wizards, fiction.
Simon Snow is the worst chosen one and he is always reminded of that. The Mage has always been his guardian for a long time, preparing as well as protecting Simon from the Humdrum. Simon has a vampire wizard roommate who has the hots for him. Simon’s girlfriend breaks up with him. Baz’s (Simon’s roommate) mother visits Simon to tell him to warn Baz that her killer is on the loose. It takes a team effort to make it through the final year at Watford. In the midst of the madness and chaos, romance blooms between Baz and Simon.
I heard good reviews about this novel and decided to check it out. I like this book. It has a lot of witchcraft and elements of romance. It’s a lot to unpack to read because there is a lot of different perspectives to the narrative that help explain further of what’s going on. My favorite was the roommate having the hots for Simon. I swear that he was being a douche to him because they’re fated to be enemies. I was happily wrong. Although I do like plot twists because they always tend to keep the reader and or audience on their toes, unsuspecting of what may or may not happen. I would recommend this novel for sure.
