Both Bitcoin and Litecoin are trading barely changed compared to one week ago. Bitcoin is at $608 right now, only $3 above last Tuesday’s price. Its little brother Litecoin is quoted at $3.82 per coin, just 2 cents above the $3.80 price noted in our last LTC update.
Bitcoin Barely Changed
As we mentioned above, Bitcoin is trading barely changed this week. Prices have been locked between $600 and $610 on most exchanges.
On FXOpen (and BTC-E) we traded to a low of $581 last Wednesday, but this was on a short illiquid spike. In our last BTC article we warned our readers about these spikes. Until liquidity improves or this problem is rectified, it’s a good idea to confirm FXOpen and BTC-E prices with other exchanges like BitStamp and OKCoin. Even using the prices from BTC-E main exchange should help filter out these spikes as this appears to be a problem on their MetaTrader accounts. To get BTC-E chart, you can go here and type in BTCE:BTCUSD in the search box.
With that out of the way, let’s take a look at some levels. While we’re still in a short-term uptrend, the momentum has been completely lost. To resume the upward momentum, we need to see prices break above the $628 high. A strong resistance can be found at the $650 mark. This is followed by more resistance levels at $670, $687 and $700 per coin.
A decisive break below $590 could end the uptrend. A new downtrend requires a break of the $566 swing low as well. Support below here can be found at $556 and $550 per coin.
Litecoin up by 0.52%
Litecoin is trading higher by 0.52%, from $3.80 to $3.82 per coin. Similarly to the big brother, no important levels have been breached during the past seven days. Unlike BTC, Litecoin is still without a clear trend in short-term charts.
A decisive break below $3.77 could start a new LTC downtrend. Below here we find a weak support at the $3.70 level. This is followed by the $3.53 swing low and the $3.50 round figure. A clearing of this area could see us test the $3.22 lows hit in the aftermath of the Bitfinex hack. We have more support levels below at the $3 round figure, followed by this year’s low at $2.89 and the twelve-month low at $2.50 per coin.
On the other end, the $4 round figure remains to be key. A move above here is needed to spark a new short-term rally. Resistance levels above the round figure can be found at the $4.07 swing high, followed by $4.15 and the resistance area from $4.43 to $4.52 per coin.

Štěpánka lookout tower
Štěpánka is the oldest lookout tower in the Jizera Mountains. Its construction was begun by Prince Camille Rohan in 1847. In the same year, the construction of the Imperial Křkonošská Street was carried out in the valleys, whose archpriest Stephan-Stepan was the highest patron, who then ascended to Buchstein Hill (now Hvězda). the lookout tower opens a splendid circular view.

President-elect, Nana Akufo Addo, will received an interim report from his side of the transition Team on the current state of the nation as he to take moves into office as President.
Although details of the report have not been disclosed yet, spokesperson for the team, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told the media, it covered issues on national security and the economy.
“The interim report that we have for the president-elect essentially cover the basic bits of information we have received currently and most importantly some national security briefings between himself and his representative on the team responsible for national security, Mr.Albert Kan Dapaah. But the detailed interim report is what you just saw us meeting about which will be submitted to him before the inauguration day,” he added.
More hand over notes presented
Government’s side of the transition team few weeks ago presented all but one of the hand over notes to the incoming administration as required by the Presidential Transition Act 2012 (Act 845).
Yaw Osafo Marfo, acknowledged receipt of the notes at a press briefing, with the exception of notes on the office of government machinery.
By the provisions of the Presidential Transition Act, the transition team was to make comprehensive arrangements to regulate the transfer of political power following a Presidential election.
The law provides for the establishment of three specific committees; the inauguration sub-committee, the government machinery sub-committee and the presidency sub-committee and any other committees the transition team considers relevant for the performance of its functions.

“Repeated doses administration of MDMA in humans: pharmacological effects and pharmacokinetics”.
Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2004 May;173(3-4):364-75.
RATIONALE: 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, 'ecstasy') is increasingly used by young people for its euphoric and empathic effects. MDMA presents non-linear pharmacokinetics, probably by inhibition of cytochrome P450 isoform 2D6. Users are known to often take more than one dose per session. This practice could have serious implications for the toxicity of MDMA.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pharmacological effects and pharmacokinetics of MDMA following the administration of two repeated doses of MDMA (24 h apart). METHODS. A randomised, double-blind, cross-over, placebo controlled trial was conducted in nine healthy male subjects. Variables included physiological, psychomotor performance, subjective effects, endocrine response and pharmacokinetics. MDMA 100 mg or placebo was administered in two successive doses separated by an interval of 24 h.
RESULTS: MDMA produced the prototypical effects of the drug. Following a second dose, plasma concentrations of MDMA increased (AUC 77% and C(max) 29%) in comparison with the first. The increase is greater than those expected by simple accumulation and indicates metabolic inhibition. The pharmacological effects after the second dose were slightly higher than those observed after the first in the majority of variables including blood pressure, heart rate, most subjective effects and cortisol concentrations. The effects were similar in the case of pupil diameter, esophoria and prolactin.
CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacological effects after the second administration were higher than those following the first but lower than expected. A disproportionate increase in plasma concentrations in MDMA and MDA was observed most likely due to metabolic inhibition. This inhibition lasts at least 24 h. Further experiments need to be conducted to evaluate its duration.

THE CREATOR is The Crown of the Tree of Life, which is both the Tifereth of Azilut and Keter of Beriah. There can be no definition of the Absolute. When He decides to create the world, the Absolute acts as the CREATOR. Then, in the terminology of Kabbalah, the CREATOR is both Tifereth in the World of Emanation (Azilut) and Keter in the World of Creation (Beriah). Since the Human Being was created in the image and likeness of God, then the greatest blessing for the Human Spirit is to merge with the CREATOR.
In the system of Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, which includes Seven Heavens, the Seventh Heaven is Arabot: The uppermost Heaven, called Arabot, is perceived as a vast plain or a bank of endless cloud and sometimes as the surface of a vast cosmic sea. Taken as the Beriatic supernal triad Keter-Hokhmah-Binah, it is the Heaven of Heavens, the most Divine part of Creation because it is closest to the CREATOR in Keter…It is from here, that the generations of spirits are created and return in their purest state after their descent into the imperfect Worlds below. Here, too, is found the Divine Dew that will revive the dead on the Day of Resurrection; that is when the great Shemittah reaches its jubilee phase of return after completing its cosmic round. According to another Biblical legend, the Light that was called forth on the first Day of Creation and is found in the seventh Heaven is of an order that enables a man to see from one end of the World to the other. (Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, A Kabbalistic Universe, Kabbalah Society, London, 2007, p. 66-67).
In the Tenth Heaven we will be able to contemplate the staggering Truth about God and Creation. Everything is Spirit, Divine consciousness, supreme intellect; the whole of Creation is an ocean of love, light and life within the Absolute Mind. There is nothing else except the One Who Is. God is the Absolute, the Sole Being, the Creator, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and Omega, the Principal Cause, the Source of Life, the Revealed and Unrevealed, the All in All.
This is the revelation of all monotheistic spiritual traditions. In the Sixth Heaven, describing the mystery of the Human Being through the figure of the Pentagram, I quoted the Master Beinsa Douno: There is One who is Love, Wisdom and Truth. Only One! And all living Nature speaks about this One, the Great. They call Him Lord, God, Father. He pervades everything, permeates the whole Being, envelops the entire world, all solar and stellar systems, and still He remains hidden, unrevealed. Throughout the whole of eternity He shall not reveal Himself, for being the Absolute, the Eternal, He is without form. (The Master Beinsa Douno).
In this highest Divine Heaven we have the opportunity to embrace the wholeness of the new cosmic cycle and to experience the Light that once shone on the first Day of Creation, illuminating the dawn of all Heavens, dispelling the darkness and enabling the human being to encompass with his gaze the whole new Creation which was created. It is known that the Buddha in his Enlightenment was able to see everything that existed in the past, everything that exists at present , and everything that will exist in the future.
If we reach the Tenth Heaven, we would be able to see the wholeness of the completed Indo-European cycle of evolution and the wholeness of the coming new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle. This will be possible through a connection with the Axis Mundi (the Universal Axis) of the Messianic Line from the First Coming and the activated Messianic Line from the Second Coming of the Divine Masters and Personifications of the Divine Feminine. From this point of view all Ten Heavens of the new cosmic cycle will be transparent and interconnected in one Divine Wholeness!
In the last, twenty-seventh chapter, End of Days, Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi concludes his monumental book A Kabbalistic Universe with the following anticipation after the end of the Indo-European cosmic cycle: After the End of Days, at the Tiferet of Azilut, the CREATOR wills another general Shemittah (Cycle – LM) to unfold the new Universe. In this next sefirotic step are the seeds of everything great and small, high and low, that will happen in the following manifestation of Existence which thus proceeds, cosmic cycle by cosmic cycle, towards the Jubilee of Jubilees. In this final and full realisation of everything Called forth, Created, Formed and Made, the Immanence present will directly mirror the Transcendent. Thus the original of all intentions will be fulfilled when all the Worlds are unified in the image of fully divine Adam, so that there is no separation as God beholds God. (Halevi, A Kabbalistic Universe, p. 247).
The Tenth Heaven is the Throne of G-d from where we could see the integral light of all Heavens in the new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle. All the Sefiroth will be transparent, dynamic, interacting, interconnected Divine emanations from the CREATOR, Who radiates the new Heavenly-Jerusalem cosmic cycle, with a New Heaven, New Earth and New Humankind. In this supreme level of Consciousness, corresponding to the level of Metatron, we will attain the Divine Truth of human being as the perfect image of universal reality: Tradition says that every creature utters the supreme Divine Name, EHYEH – I AM, on being created and on its return to its Maker. It is the spiritual realisation of this Name and its accompanying Divine state that Kabbalists seek while still incarnate, unless they wish to go beyond and so never return from a complete union with the Crown of Crowns. (Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, The Way of Kabbalah, Kabbalah Society, London, 2007, p. 228).
An amazing picture of this Heaven we find in the spiritual journey through all the Heavens by the great Rabbi Akiba described in the same book The Way of Kabbalah by Halevi: Rabbi Akiba continued his ascension, so leaving the World of the Chariot below. Fully entering the Tree of the Throne… he entered the Seventh Heaven and stood, he tells us, ‘erect, holding his balance with all his might’…Here just below the place of the God Name YAHVEH ELOHIM is the Supernal Triad of Beriah, called Arabot or the Seventh Heaven. In this Heaven is the as-yet undiffused reality of Creation… This is that place where the Spirit of God hovers over the Deep in the first chapter of Genesis. Sometimes perceived as clouds or a vast plain, two of the meanings of the word Arabot, it is also seen as the vast surface of a cosmic sea. (Ibid., p.226).
The Figure 56 – NAMES OF GOD (from the book The Way of Kabbalah by Halevi, p. 227), illustrates the Supernal Triad of Beriah, which in our system of Ten Heavens corresponds to the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Heavens: These titles come from the Old Testament. They represent various aspects of the Divine. Here it must be understood that the Divine is not God but an expression of the Absolute. Their positions are according to their quality and function. ADONAI means ‘My Lord; the Shekinah is the feminine aspect of the Divine. The two ZEVAOT are the Hosts or Hands of the Divine or angelics while YAH and EL are the severe and merciful aspects of Divinity. YAHVEH ELOHIM is the combination of the Heads of the two side columns and represents the CREATOR or Deity in action. The highest Holy Name is EHYEH ASHER EHYEH or I AM THAT I AM. The word THAT is all Existence by which God beholds God.
The highest three Heavens, the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth, are the Heavens of Heavens, the Holy of Holies. These emanations from the Divine are in constant union, interaction, overflowing and there we could experience the Divine Dew on the Day of Resurrection, the Light that was called forth on the first Day of Creation, the Word which was the first of all sounds to be heard in Manifest Existence, which is the supreme Name of God: EHYEH – I AM!

Cheyenne, Wyo. (KGWN) A large percentage of Cheyenne East seniors played a classy prank on Tuesday. The students gathered the night before school in the staff parking lot to set up tents, chairs and even an RV camper. When teachers arrived at school Tuesday morning a majority of them were forced to park elsewhere and make a longer trek to work.
The plan was really payback after the teachers played a prank that involved dancing behind the seniors while they offered advice to younger students last week. The seniors had no idea the teachers were "busting moves" behind them while they addressed freshman, sophomores and juniors.
Play the video to hear from the "ring leader" of the senior prank.

The Streets Unveil Brand New Single ‘Too Much Yayo’
18 Aug 2023
Having announced their brand new album ‘The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light’ set for release on the 20th October, The Streets have today unveiled their opening track of the project, ‘Too Much Yayo’.
Taking the form of a creative love letter to club culture and the ‘fallout that follows nocturnal weekends spent under shuttering strobe lights and towering sound systems’, ‘Too Much Yayo’ continues to depict the same relatable subject matters that lifted the pioneering group to the very top back in the day.
Quote from Mike on the track here – “Too Much Yayo” is the first song on the album and it really is the focus of the first key scene in my film. The film is set in nightclubs, places i’ve spent many nights over the past few years DJing and performing. Obviously , clubs , music and drugs all go hand in hand – and the song really is about setting the scene before the story starts to unfold – we’ve all been in clubs like this and either been the liability or seen the liability. This is one of the beats that really reacted when I was playing it out in DJ sets before it became a song. That’s how I tested out things for this album – it really helps you understand what people react to and feel “
With the new project also being accompanied by a feature film, Mike Skinner continues to examine life nuances through his trademark ‘The Streets’ lens – and the multi-talented creative will undoubtedly create more noise in the scene with new project and feature film respectively.
Listen to ‘Too Much Yayo’ below :


text: One of the most impressive aspects of Break The Skin is how much the author cares about his characters, makes them real beings, and makes it hard not to have compassion for them and their circumstances. Bad things happen in this novel (murder, manipulation, threats, violence), but not least of all the environments and circumstances shaping these character’s lives, making it inconceivable for them to make the smart and healthy choices. Break The Skin is beautifully and feelingly written, and it doesn’t let go for a minute, alternating as it does between the equally compelling and drama-filled narratives of Laney and Ms. Baby. This dark tale of good girls gone bad is nearly impossible to put down once Martin starts weaving his spell, exposing the tragedy and the humanity in the wreck of these lives. Highly recommended.

In Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin, lying — willfully, methodically, shamelessly — is the default response to any accusations of wrongdoing. Russia did not meddle in American elections. Accusations of systematic Olympic doping are malicious foreign inventions. The Novichok nerve agent killers in Salisbury, England, were there only to admire the cathedral’s spire. Russia has nothing to do with the secessionists in eastern Ukraine.
Shaping reality to fit political maneuvering has a long tradition in the Kremlin, and unfortunately the practice is gaining popularity in the White House and among would-be authoritarians the world round. That makes it all the more important that institutions dedicated to the rule of law, to reliance on fact and to the primacy of truth should resolutely push back.
And that’s why the murder charges announced by international prosecutors on Wednesday against three Russians and a Ukrainian over the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 five years ago, with the loss of 298 lives, are very important even if Russia refuses to surrender the suspects or acknowledge their culpability, as it will. Even if there are no defendants in the dock, Moscow’s lies will be.
Russia’s involvement has long been clear. A day after MH17 was shot down over Ukraine’s warring eastern provinces on July 17, 2014, the United States government concluded from available evidence that the plane had been brought down by a Russian-made surface-to-air missile launched from rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine. American officials said at the time that they believed the missile battery had most likely been provided by Russia to pro-Russian separatists.
Subsequent findings by a Joint Investigation Team of prosecutors from Ukraine and four countries whose citizens perished in the disaster — the Netherlands, Malaysia, Belgium and Australia — and by private agencies like the online investigative site Bellingcat meticulously documented how a Russian missile launcher belonging to an active Russian military unit was driven into eastern Ukraine and used to fire a Buk missile at the Malaysian jumbo jet. At the time, Ukrainian separatists had been targeting government aircraft at altitudes only slightly lower than those used by commercial jetliners.
The charges announced Wednesday went beyond declaratory accusations and linked actual faces and crimes to the crash. The destruction of MH17 was not collateral damage in some nasty conflict, declared Fred Westerbeke, the chief prosecutor of the Netherlands, but murder committed by men acting on Moscow’s orders in a proxy war against Ukraine. And they will be tried in a Dutch court beginning on March 9, 2020 — Dutch, because 193 of the passengers were Dutch — whether they’re present or not.
The four men, for whom international arrest warrants were issued, have figured in previous reports, including intercepted telephone calls in which they discuss movements of the missile launcher and the actual missile firing. One, Igor Girkin, had been a colonel in Russia’s F.S.B. spy service; two, Sergey Dubinsky and Oleg Pulatov, had served with the G.R.U. military intelligence agency; and the fourth, Leonid Kharchenko, was a Ukrainian who led a rebel combat group in Donetsk under the Russians.
The accused did not actually fire the missile, the investigators said, but they “formed a chain” linking the breakaway “Donetsk People’s Republic” directly with Russia. They were responsible for bringing the Russian missile system into eastern Ukraine, and so could be held criminally responsible for murdering 298 people.
And therefore so could Moscow. “We now have proof Russia was involved in this tragedy, this crime,” Mr. Westerbeke declared. “One day after 17 July they were in a position to tell us exactly what happened. They knew. The Buk was used in eastern Ukraine and they knew this. They didn’t give us this information.” Moscow, of course, denies it all, and will continue to act as a victim of Western intrigue, trusting that Western governments will make noise for a time and then go back to doing business with Russia.
That must not happen. These are not some political shenanigans that Moscow stands accused of; these are murders by the Kremlin’s agents in a dirty war. An open trial is how just societies judge those who violate the rule of law, and it is a response to Moscow’s crimes and lies that should have the full and public support of all law-abiding nations.

Deval Patrick punishes achievement and hard work by raising taxes on students in Massachusetts
Good read from the Mass GOP on the insane tax increases that Democrat Gov. Deval Patrick is looking to ram through on taxpayers.
For Immediate Release
Patrick Rallies College Students for Tax Cuts
that Hurt Them and Their Families
Governor Deval Patrick is giving college students a real lesson today in how
Beacon Hill works: only tell voters half the truth while trying to convince them
to support tax increases that hurt them and their families.
Patrick’s historic tax increases
include elimination of higher education-related deductions that will take $73
million more from the pockets of over 320,000 parents and students who pay state
taxes, according to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Association.
“Patrick’s push for the largest
tax hike in state history hits nearly every taxpayer in the state, and students
and their parents are no exception. Patrick punishes achievement and hard work
by raising taxes on students who receive scholarships, and you have to wonder if
the governor has fully educated these students on the real impact of his tax
increases,” said Kirsten Hughes, MassGOP Chairman.
Under Patrick’s Tax
Tuition Tax Deduction –
Exemption of Scholarships and
Fellowships – gone
Personal Exemption for Students
Aged 19 or Over – gone

So that shindig that was being planned to capitalize upon the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival? Not happening. I think that's fine: some moments deserve to be looked back upon, relished and then, left the hell alone. As the festival's main focus was music (I mean there were naked people, a ton of mud and some questionable LSD, but still), the best way to do a bit of relishing, in my opinion, is to kick back with a few of the tunes cranked out by Woodstock's many musicians. You could tackle this by spinning up some CCR, Richie Havens, Janis Joplin or Joe Cocker on iTunes. However, I like this alternative.
Starting at 5:07 p.m. EST today, August 15, you can listen to every minute of the three days of concerts, courtesy of Philadelphia radio station WXPN. It will include all of the festival's archived audio: from the iconic performances to the stage announcements to the rain delays.
The exclusive broadcast will feature newly reconstructed audio archives of each of Woodstock's 32 acts, starting with Richie Havens' opening set, and continuing through to Jimi Hendrix's closing performance on Sunday morning. According to a release from the station, it will be broadcast in "as close to real time as possible."
How cool is that?
If you're not familiar with the artists who made this monster of a music festival the legend that it is, tuning into WXPN online is a great way to listen in on some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, without having to invest a dime—Of course, if you dig their sound, be sure to do the right thing and buy a few of their recordings.
For the lowdown on WXPN's full schedule of Woodstock performances, You'll want to drop by their website.

If you go to The Gilmore Museum in Hickory Falls, Michigan, you may find a somewhat surprising vehicle, the Checker Jeep. At the Gilmore the fully restored Jeep has a big sign on the windscreen declaring it to be a Checker product.
Yes, the Checker Jeep, unless you live under a rock, you should be familiar with the Jeep or aka General Purpose vehicle that was created to support troops fighting during World War II, but most associate the Jeep with two manufacturers Willys and Ford. The Jeep has been a integral part of the American automotive scene for over 75 years. So what is a Checker Jeep? In this blog we’ll try to put the pieces together.
At the onset of World War II, the U.S. Army contacted 135 companies asking for working prototypes of a four-wheel-drive reconnaissance car. Only two companies responded to the request: American Bantam Car Company and Willys-Overland.
American Bantam was founded in 1929 and set up shop in Butler, PA. Over the course of the next ten years American Bantam would sell Americanized versions of the British Austin Seven. By 1940 Bantam was on the verge of bankruptcy and as a going concern its future was unknown. Willys based out of Toledo, Ohio was well known, yet was a financially troubled company that had survived the depression but was no longer the automotive giant it had been earlier in the American automotive industry.
The Army had set what seemed like an impossible deadline of 49 days to supply a working prototype. Willys asked for more time, but was refused. The American Bantam Car Company had no engineering staff left on the payroll and solicited Karl Probst a freelance designer from Detroit.
Probst laid out full plans for the Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC) prototype and cost estimates in just two days. Bantam’s bid was submitted, complete with blueprints on July 22. Much of the vehicle could be assembled from off-the-shelf automotive parts, custom four-wheel drivetrain components were supplied by Spicer. The hand-built prototype was completed in Butler, Pennsylvania and shipped to Camp Holabird, Maryland for Army testing on September 21, 1940. The vehicle met all the Army’s criteria except engine torque.
Over the course of several months working with the Army, Bantam evolved the Jeep into the Bantam BRC 41. Orders were placed for the Lend Lease shipments to allied nations, eventually totaling an estimated 2,605 BRC 41s, 62 of which had four-wheel steering, as requested by the US Cavalry.
The BRC 41 were produced from March 31 through December 6, 1941. Bantam’s inability to keep up with the rapid production of wartime vehicles, as well as their limited design and production facilities, led to the army’s decision to supply the Bantam design to Willys and Ford, who were encouraged to make their own changes and modifications. Fifteen hundred of each of the three models (Bantam BRC-41, Ford GP, and Willys MA) were built and extensively field tested.
Bantam was not yet out of the picture. During this time, Bantam needed to find a partner to demonstrate to the US Government that they had the ability to supply the army with a constant flow of Jeeps. Who was the most logical partner? Clearly the answer was Checker.
Checker ran an automotive production line for close to twenty years. The Checker facilities were modern and well located centrally in Michigan. Checker also had a strong team of industrial engineers, Jim Stout had over twenty years of automotive engineering experience to his credit and Checker’s Chief of Engineering was Herb Snow, the former head of engineering of Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg. Additionally Checker was a player in the third party automotive production business having produced complete bodies for Hudson. Checker was a good choice
Bantam entered an agreement with Checker Cab Manufacturing, the agreement from February 1941 reads:
Checker and Bantam each agree that in the event that either obtains orders from the United States Governments for Bantam cars or other products in excess of its production, it will offer to assign or otherwise transfer, subject to requisite approval, to the other party, that portion of the order which it cannot fill.
This agreement is pretty clear. If Bantam won the bid to produce Jeeps for the Army any excess orders that could not be filled by Bantam would be filled by Checker.
So what are the Checker Jeeps? Three Jeeps were assembled in Kalamazoo, two Bantam BRC 41 Jeeps and one four wheel steer Bantam Jeep all produced in May of 1941. The key word here is “assembled”, it’s highly likely that these three Jeeps were test units provided to Checker as assessment vehicles.
If the contract was executed Checker Cab Manufacturing would have to be up and running in a very short period of time. In order to execute production Checker would have to have some test units to assist in developing potential assembly strategies.
It’s unclear as to whether these were knocked down crated units shipped to Kalamazoo from Bantam and assemble by Checker engineering or complete assembled units shipped to Kalamazoo, disassembled and then reassembled by Checker engineering.
Noted Jeep expert and owner of a Checker Bantam Bill Spear purchased his Jeep from former Checker engineer Jim Stout, Spear has conducted a complete review of the Checker Bantam. His web site has a wealth of information.
Upon complete review of both the Stout and the Gilmore BRC Jeep Spear states:
“Having now performed an autopsy, it is clear that the car is unquestionably a BRC. The dies and castings and other details are all Bantam. I really do not feel this car was “built from Bantam plans” as some have suggested. There would have to be some difference somewhere. Moreover it has two data plates (presumably) from two different companies indicating that it is a Bantam. But it is not so clear to me now that the car was assembled in Butler”.
Many within Checker Cab circles including Jim Stout himself, have broadly stated that the Checker Bantam BRC was developed by Checker, clearly this is not the case. Bantam historians have found evidence of designer Karl Probst forwarding plans to Checker chief of engineering Herb Snow. That along with Bantam serial plates make it pretty clear that the Checker Jeeps are test mule Bantams.
In the end Bantam did not execute its agreement with Checker. The War Department required a large number of vehicles to be manufactured in a relatively short time and clearly the combination of two independent companies was not a formula that the Army felt comfortable when placing an order.
The Willys design won the bid. Willys-Overland was granted a non-exclusive license to allow another company to manufacture vehicles using Willys’ specifications. The Army chose Ford as the second supplier not Bantam. Building Jeeps to the Willys’ design. Willys supplied Ford with a complete set of plans and specifications.
American Bantam, did win a contract to build approximately 2700 of Jeeps to the BRC-41 design, but not enough to act on the Checker agreement.
All was not lost for both Bantam and Checker, both companies won a government contract to build heavy-duty trailers for the Army. Additionally Checker picked up a contract to produce K-35 van trailers for the US Signal Corps.

There is no straightforward answer to this question. Whether dogs can eat ketchup depends on two basic factors – first, the exact ingredients used to make the ketchup, and second, the amount of ketchup a dog ate.
Basically, regardless of the ingredients, an accidental lick or two is nothing to be worried about. However, if a dog overeats ketchup, based on the recipe, it can experience stomach upset or, worst-case scenario – intoxication.
- Why is Ketchup Good for Dogs?
- Can Ketchup be Bad for Dogs?
- How Much Ketchup Can my Dog Eat?
- How to Prepare and Serve Ketchup for Your Dog?
- Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Ketchup Good for Dogs?
The main ingredient in ketchup, tomatoes (ripe with leaves and stems removed), are safe for dogs. Tomatoes are a healthy fruit and can add various nutritional benefits to the menu. Let’s see why tomatoes are suitable for dogs.
Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties
Tomatoes contain an organic pigment called lycopene. Lycopene features strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In other words, this health-boosting compound helps prevent inflammation and cancer (protects cells from oxidative damage).
Water-Rich and Calorie-Low Treat
Tomatoes are mostly made of water and contain no fats at all, meaning they are a good treat for dogs on weight loss regimes. Plus, they are juicy, and most dogs love their taste and texture.
Lots of Dietary Fibers
Tomatoes are rich in dietary fibers that support gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health. They also support a healthy appetite and help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Can Ketchup be Bad for Dogs?
Since tomatoes are suitable for dogs, why not give dogs ketchup all the time? The answer is simple – because once processed into ketchup, the tomatoes lose their nutritional value, thus becoming empty calories.
Plus, in addition to tomatoes, ketchup recipes often include ingredients that are dangerous or even toxic to dogs. Here is a short description of the reasons ketchup is bad for dogs.
Digestive System Havoc
Eating too much ketchup is a recipe for disaster. Namely, as a highly processed food, ketchup is likely to trigger a digestive upset in dogs and cause symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, abdominal pain, dehydration, and lethargy.
High Sodium Levels
Ketchup is heavily salted. Small amounts of salt are necessary for dogs, but this mineral can be tricky in larger quantities. For example, eating too much salt puts the dog at risk of dehydration. In more severe cases, salt can even cause poisoning. Salt poisoning is a life-threatening situation.
An Array of Artificial Additives
Commercial ketchup is loaded with artificial additives – preservatives, colors, and flavors. In small amounts, these ingredients are harmless. However, if overfed – eaten in larger amounts or over a prolonged period they can be detrimental. Most additives are linked with increased cancer risk.
Garlic and Onion Powder
To boost the flavor, many ketchup manufacturers add different spices. Powdered garlic and onion are among those spices. Sadly, they are both toxic to dogs. As Allium family members, garlic and onion contain chemical compounds that damage the red blood cells, thus causing anemia.
When ketchup products feature the word “sugar-free” on the label, it is because they contain artificial sweeteners. The most commonly used artificial sweetener – xylitol, is highly toxic to dogs. Once ingested, the xylitol causes a sudden and potentially lethal blood sugar drop. Liver and kidney failures are also possible outcomes.
How Much Ketchup Can my Dog Eat?
We will not talk about feeding guidelines as ketchup is not something you should be feeding your dog. However, we can say that if your dog takes a few licks, there is nothing to be worried about. On the other hand, you must never feed your dog ketchup on purpose.
So, bottom line, a lick or two are fine, but anything more than is likely to warrant a trip to the vet’s office. Obviously, a dog the size of a Great Dane can take more than one or two licks and feel fine, but a Chihuahua may develop tummy issues even after two licks.
How to Prepare and Serve Ketchup for Your Dog?
Commercial kinds of ketchup are unsafe for dogs. Even if you are extra careful and shop for recipes that do not include toxic ingredients, you cannot avoid some. For example, all store-bought ketchups will contain high sodium levels and additives.
Therefore, if you want to treat your dog, it is best to make ketchup at home from scratch. This will be more of a tomato sauce rather than real ketchup, but it will be healthy for your dog.
All you need are fully ripe and preferably organic tomatoes (the green parts need to be removed as they are toxic). Then you can put the tomatoes in a blender and mix them until you get a paste-like consistency.
This homemade ketchup version can be used as a nice food topper. You can add it on top of the dog’s regular kibble or on top of home-cooked meals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, ketchup can kill dogs but not immediately. Namely, although it can contain toxic ingredients, the amounts a dog would have to eat to develop toxicities are rather big. Therefore, ketchup is more of a silent killer.
No, dogs cannot eat banana ketchup. The popular Philippine sauce contains too much sugar, spices, and vinegar than dogs can digest. In other words, banana ketchup will wreak havoc on the dog’s digestive system.
All in all, dogs should not eat ketchup. The condiment has zero nutritional value and, depending on the recipe, and consumed amount can be pretty dangerous. Like all processed foods, ketchup is loaded with additives and often contains toxic ingredients like garlic, onions, and xylitol.
The good news is that you do not need to call the vet or make an urgent trip to the vet’s office if your dog steals a lick or two from your plate. However, feeding your dog ketchup on purpose is a big no-go.

The present invention relates generally to the field of endoscopy and specifically to endoscopic apparatus used for colonoscopic procedures during which a flexible tube is inserted into the rectum and colon for examination of the colon interior for abnormalities. More particularly, the present invention refers to a control system for supplying a fluid medium, e.g. air, water etc. to the endoscope.
There are known endoscopes employing inflatable flexible sleeves for propulsion endoscope within colon.
Voloshin (U.S. Pat. No. 6,485,409) discloses an endoscope, which comprises an endoscopic probe, a bending section for directing the probe within the colon (steering unit), an insertion tube and a flexible covering sleeve or a sheath, which is coupled proximally to the probe. The bending section of the endoscope is located behind the probe. The sleeve is attached to the endoscope in such a manner that its folded section is retained between a cap and an internal spindle, which are located between the insertion tube and the probe head. When inflated, the folded section unfolds over a flange of the internal spindle and an inner portion of the sleeve is pulled in a distal direction.
In PCT/IL03/00661 an endoscope is described which employs a flexible inflatable sleeve, which before inflation is retained within a dispenser. The dispenser employed in this endoscope has entry and exit ports defining a transit passage through which the endoscope may pass. The dispenser is adapted to capture the sleeve as the endoscope is retracted through the transit passage in a proximal direction. In another embodiment, the dispenser includes an external sleeve fixed to the dispenser and this external sleeve is adapted to be extended from the dispenser when the endoscope is retracted so that the external sleeve covers the flexible sleeve. By virtue of this provision any contamination on the flexible sleeve remains within the external sleeve and does not contact the endoscope or any other objects or areas outside the patient's body. After the endoscope has been removed entirely from the flexible sleeve, the dispenser together with the external sleeve is discarded.
It is mentioned in the above reference that the endoscope is provided with an internal sleeve, which is also known as multilumen tubing, since it is usually fitted with appropriate passages or lumens as required for irrigation, ventilation, suction and for passing endoscopic tools therethrough. To operate the endoscope, the proximal end of the multilumen tubing is detachably connected via a dedicated disposable connector, or so called hub, to a source of fluid medium, i.e. water, compressed air and vacuum. A fluid control system is provided, which comprises an external control unit with a pump for supplying compressed air, a flask for supplying water and a pump for producing vacuum. The control unit is provided also with several pinch valves, which control the supply of compressed air, water and vacuum to the multilumen tubing and compressed air to the inflatable sleeve.
Unfortunately maintenance of the endoscope provided with the above mentioned fluid control system is inconvenient and labor consuming, since before putting it into operation each tube should be connected one by one with a corresponding source of fluid medium.
The other disadvantage of the prior art control systems lies in the fact that it does not sufficiently prevent entrance of contaminated debris from the body channel back to the system.
The object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a new and improved control system and system control unit for supplying fluid medium to the multilumen tubing and/or to the inflatable sleeve of an endoscope provided with such a sleeve.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved system and system control unit, which is convenient and simple in operation and maintenance.
Still a further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved control system and system control unit, which reliably prevents entrance of contamination from the body channel during the endoscopic procedure.
For a better understanding of the present invention as well of its benefits and advantages, reference will now be made to the following description of its embodiments taken in combination with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
It is shown also in
It is seen also in
One should also bear in mind that within the insertion tube are provided various devices, which are necessary for functioning of the colonoscopic apparatus. These devices are known per se. Among such devices one can mention e.g. vertebrae and strings, which can be manipulated by the operation handle. It is not seen in
The multilumen tubing extends through the entire length of the endoscope, passes the handle and is connected to a dedicated Y-connector 26, which is detachably connectable to a lateral port provided on the handle, so as to connect the proximal end of the multilumen tubing with tubes 28 extending along the umbilical cord and supplying water and air from the SCU to the multilumen tubing.
In practice the multilumen tubing and the Y-connector are manufactured from plastic material. It would be advantageous if they are cheap, disposable items, which are discarded at the end of the endoscopic procedure after the colonoscope has been evacuated form the body passage. By virtue of this provision preparation to the new colonoscopic procedure is simple, convenient and fast and it is not associated with spreading of any contamination picked up from the body passage during the previous endoscopic procedure.
Referring now to
Within the SCU are provided the necessary electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic components, e.g. a logic unit 34, a first and a second pump 36,38 for supplying compressed air and various valves as will be explained later on. It is not shown specifically but should be appreciated that appropriate power supply means can be also provided within the SCU as required for activation the valves and energizing the logic unit.
In practice the pump 36 should be capable to supply air under pressure 0.5-0.7 bar with a flow rate 3-5 liters per minute. This pump is intended to supply compressed air to the multilumen tubing, to the inflatable sleeve and to the flask. The pump 38 should be capable of supplying air under pressure 0.3 bar with a flow rate 2 liter per minute. This pump is intended for supplying air to the operating handle. The operating handle has an opening for releasing the air. The purpose of this arrangement will be explained further.
The logic unit 34 is electrically connected by a line 40 to auxiliary control buttons provided on the handle 14 (not seen). The auxiliary control buttons might be available for controlling a video signal supplied to a monitor 42, e.g. for saving or freezing the displayed picture.
The logic unit is also electrically connected by signal lines 44, 46 to respective control buttons 48 and 50 provided on the handle. The button 48 enables controlling of suction through a channel 52 made in the multilumen tubing. This channel functions either as a suction channel (when vacuum is supplied therethrough) or as a working channel when it is required to insert a surgical tool through a port 53. The button 50 enables supply of air to the body passage through a dedicated insufflation channel 54. This button also enables the supply of water to the body passage through a dedicated irrigation channel 56. A through going opening 51 is provided in the button 50. This opening can be closed or opened by the doctor's finger during operating of the handle. The through going opening is in flow communication with the pump 38. For connecting the SCU with lines 40, 44 and 46 a detachable multifunctional connector 58 is provided. This connector is multifunctional in the sense that it enables not only passing electrical signals between the SCU and control buttons 48,50 and auxiliary control buttons, but also ensures supplying of compressed air to the handle. The logic unit 34 is electrically connected by a line 60 with the monitor and by a line 62 to a foot pedal 64, which upon pressing generates a signal, which triggers inflation of the sleeve. The connection of line 62 to the logic unit is schematically designated in
It is shown also in
Within the SCU are mounted various hydraulic and pneumatic components of the system, which are necessary for controlling supply of the fluid medium to the colonoscope. The fluid medium is supplied by the following supply lines: line a) for supplying of compressed air from pump 36 to the sleeve, to the multilumen tubing and to the flask; line b) for supplying vacuum produced by vacuum pump 32 to the multilumen tubing; line c) for supplying of compressed air from pump 38 to the handle; and line d) for supplying of water from flask 24 to the multilumen tubing.
It is seen, for example, that in the line a) there is provided a pressure regulator 80 with a safety valve 82 for keeping the pressure supplied by pump 36 within a narrow range of 0.5-0.7 bar. The pressurized air proceeds via three ducts 84,86,88 to three normally shut off solenoid valves SV5, SV1 and SV3. These valves, when opened, enable supply of pressurized air from the pump either to flask 24, or to line 76, or to line 68. As soon as pressurized air is supplied to the flask, water within the flask is urged to proceed via tube 78 to the irrigation channel of the multilumen tubing so as to be ejected therefrom by means of a sprinkler means 90 provided at the forwardmost end of the colonoscope. In practice water is ejected from the flask with a flow rate of at least 1 cc per second. It can be readily appreciated that pressure is not permanently maintained within the flask, but only when it is required to supply water for irrigation.
In the line b) there is provided a suction bottle 92 and a suction valve SV4, which is a conventional pinch valve capable of selectively releasing the tube 74 passing therethrough. Pressing suction button 48 on the handle 14 actuates this pinch valve.
It should be appreciated that all valves are electrically connected to the logic unit and are controlled thereby.
In the line c) there is provided a pressure sensor 94, which senses air pressure in the line 66. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the logic unit and as soon as the air pressure in line 66 reduces below a certain preset level the sensor generates and sends to the logic unit a signal. Upon receiving this signal the logic unit opens valve SV1 and pressurized air is supplied via line 76 to the insufflation channel of the multilumen tubing.
The control system depicted in
When it is required to inflate the sleeve, one should press foot pedal 64. Upon pressing the pedal, an electrical signal is transferred to the logic unit, which, in its turn, generates a signal for opening the normally shut-off valve SV3. When this valve opens, pressurized air is allowed to proceed from pump 36 to the sleeve via passage 70 in the handle and then via passage 72 in the insertion tube. In order to release pressure from the sleeve, one should release the pedal after evacuating the colonoscope from the body channel. In this situation, a signal is generated by the logic unit to close valve SV3 so as to enable release of pressure from tube 68 to the atmosphere.
When suction is required, one should press button 48. Upon pressing this button, a signal will be generated by the logic unit to open pinch valve SV4 and then vacuum will be allowed to proceed to the body cavity via tube 74 and suction channel 52.
For insufflation, one should close opening 51 provided on the control button 50. This causes an increase of pressure in line 66, which will be detected by pressure sensor 94. Accordingly the logic unit opens solenoid valve SV1 and pressurized air will be allowed to proceed from pump 36 through tube 76 to the insufflation channel.
It should be kept in mind that instead of opening 51 being closeable by a doctor's finger for triggering the air supply from pump 38, one could use a different arrangement, e.g. electrical two stroke switch.
To irrigate the body cavity one should deeply press control button 50. Then a signal will be generated by the logic unit to open valve SV5. Upon opening the valve, pressurized air is allowed to enter the flask and thus water is urged to proceed to the irrigation channel via tube 78. When there is no signal, the pressure is released from the valve immediately to the atmosphere and there is no pressure in the flask.
It should be readily appreciated that control buttons 48,50 are merely electrical switches, which are electrically connected to the logic unit and there is no flow communication between the buttons and the multilumen tubing. By virtue of this provision the danger of contaminating the buttons by any debris penetrating from the body channel or cavity is prevented. At the same time, since flow of air is permanently maintained in the direction from pump 38 to opening 51 it is possible to retain the same mode of carrying out the insufflation or irrigation, to which the doctors are so accustomed. In accordance with this mode a finger pressure on the hole in the center of button 50 provides insufflation and further depression of the button triggers the irrigation.
It should be also appreciated that, since the control buttons operate the valves electrically and not mechanically, there is no need for mechanical parts, like pistons etc. In the prior art systems the control buttons usually are associated with a mechanical control mechanism comprising mechanical parts. Due to inevitable contamination it is required to dismantle the control mechanism and to clean it after each colonoscopy session. In the present invention the buttons are not associated with any mechanical parts, which could get contaminated.
Now a second embodiment of the present invention will be explained. This embodiment is depicted in
The trap means is intended to prevent entrance of any contamination back to the SCU when flow communication is provided between the body channel or cavity and the SCU via channel 72, passage 70 and tube 68. Construction and functioning of the trap means will be explained in more details with reference to
Referring again to
It is also seen that lines 76 and 78 are provided with dedicated check valves 104,106. By virtue of this provision passing of flow medium is permitted only in one direction, i.e. from the SCU and from the flask to the multilumen tubing while backward flow is prevented. By virtue of this provision it is possible to keep contamination from the inside of the SCU and the flask.
It should be appreciated that the elements of the above disclosed control system can be employed not only in a colonoscope, which is fitted with an inflatable covering sleeve. They can be used in the control system of any other endoscope, in which it is required to supply fluid medium to the insertion tube.
An O-ring or other suitable sealing is provided between each cylinder and the cylindrical periphery wall of the respective bore section. By virtue of this provision a fluid-tight engagement is ensured between the first and the second cylinder and the respective periphery wall of the bore when the piston slides reciprocatingly along the bore. The control system in accordance with this embodiment operates as follows. In a situation, when there is no need to inflate the sleeve and/or a fluid medium should be released therefrom, the normally-opened valve SV3 allows compressed air to proceed from pump 36 via control line 115 to port 114 and to displace the piston to a left position, which is shown in
It would be advantageous to provide duct 100 with an auxiliary venting port, which would be located in vicinity of the trap or in the trap itself. Such a port would permanently release the air in the line to the atmosphere and this might reduce the probability of contaminating the SCU in the situation when the sleeve is deflated more than one time during the same endoscopy session.
In the situation, when it is required to inflate the sleeve, one should press foot pedal 64 and the logic unit will generate an appropriate signal for closing valve SV3. In this situation compressed air is released from the valve to the atmosphere and there is no pressure acting on the cylinder 122. Compressed air enters the trap via port 116 and acts on cylinder 124 so as to displace the double piston in the right position, which is shown in
It should be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and that one ordinarily skilled in the art can make modifications or changes without deviating from the scope of the invention, as will be defined in the appended claims.
When used in the following claims, the meaning of terms “comprise”, “include”, “have” and their conjugates is “including but not limited to”.
It should also be appreciated that the features disclosed in the foregoing description, and/or in the following claims, and/or in the accompanying drawings may, both separately and in any combination thereof, be material for realizing the present invention in diverse forms thereof.

They Dare to Rally for LGBTQ Rights in South Korea
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
Heezy Yang and his colleagues are fighting against an aggressive Christian resistance.
By Jieun Choi and Raphael Rashid
Heezy Yang, 28, is on a mission to advocate LGBTQ issues and rights through artistic activism. A quaint conceit? Hardly. In South Korea, being gay can still get you thrown in prison.
“I’ve seen a lot of people saying there are no gays in Korea,” says Yang, who felt obliged to conceal his homosexuality most of his life. While homosexuality is not illegal, it’s taboo in a conservative country where Christianity remains the dominant faith. So, in some extreme cases, young men who serve their compulsory military services are imprisoned or undergo investigation when they’re allegedly caught having same-sex intercourse.
While conservative Christian detractors in South Korea see homosexuality as a threat, Yang sees it as an opportunity to express himself through art and raise awareness about a community that is so often ostracized and voiceless. After dropping out of university in 2013, Yang dedicated himself to art projects, illustrations, photography and performances — all focusing on LGBTQ issues and sexual minorities. He’s also the founder of the LGBTQIA+ And Allies in Korea group and Seoul Drag Parade.
… [A]head of the recently concluded Seoul Queer Parade, over 200,000 people signed an online petition demanding the “lewd” event be canceled.
“Some people are not as lucky as I am,” says Yang, who came out to his supportive family five years ago. “Which is why I carry out fundraisers and charity events for organizations that help other LGBT people and vulnerable people.” Specifically? Kids who’ve been expelled from their homes for being gay.
Which is not surprising if you consider that more than 200,000 people signed an online petition demanding that the “lewd” Seoul Queer Parade be canceled.
But Yang seems unfazed. In fact, he sees positive change. “200,000 is actually small compared to the number of people in this country.” And while coming out was impossible in his teens, Yang sees the visibility of the LGBTQ community on the rise. “The Pride Parade has grown over the years, while protester numbers have decreased.”
And Heezy Yang just might be right. This year’s event, which was notably not canceled, saw a record number of attendees — 120,000, according to organizers — making it the biggest pro-LGBTQ event in South Korean history.

Transportation Network Companies, more commonly known as "rideshares," have operated in legal limbo regarding their insurance since their creation. This came to a head on New Year's Eve with the death of six-year-old Sofia Liu, who was killed in a collision with an Uber car driven by a man named Syed Muzzafar. Uber claimed in a blog post that because Muzzafar was not ferrying a passenger at the time, and only using the app to search for fares, that he was not officially covered by their insurance.Read more »
Historic new protections are now in place for children facing police action in the San Francisco Unified School District.
Reforms include having a parent present when police question a child, tracking police presence in schools, and using a more lenient approach than simply dragging kids off to the police station or juvenile hall.
