Meetings with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and leaders of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and Liberal Party were highlights of CDA’s 2013 Days on the Hill, held on May 8 and 9.
CDA president Dr. Peter Doig led the CDA delegation of elected officers, committee members and CDA staff to bring oral health issues to the attention of senior government officials on Parliament Hill. Access to care, drug shortages, First Nations oral health and oral health research were some of the issues topping the agenda in more than 30 meetings held this year with members of Parliament (MPs), senators and senior policy advisors.
Most importantly, the meetings provided an opportunity to present CDA’s project of developing a comprehensive national oral health strategy, to ensure that all Canadians receive the dental care they need regardless of their socioeconomic status or location.
On the first day of meetings, Dr. Doig spoke directly with the prime minister, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau about the development of a national oral health strategy. They discussed the need for an action plan to ensure effective delivery of oral health care for all Canadians, and Dr. Doig asked the political leaders for their support in addressing this complex issue.
Dr. Philip Poon, member of the CDA advocacy committee, also took the opportunity to thank the government for securing continuing funding in the Economic Action Plan 2013 for the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program, which provides First Nations and Inuit people with a range of health benefits that are not covered by other public or private insurance plans. The CDA delegation stressed the importance of implementing concrete initiatives to help close the access to care gap that exists between First Nations and the general Canadian population. “We suggested that in order to increase program use and improve oral health to First Nations and Inuit, the NIHB program should be more client-focused and based on people’s needs, with a reduced administrative burden,” explains Dr. Poon.
Days on the Hill were also an occasion to listen to inspiring guest speakers who have been involved in dentistry in different ways:
- Erin O’Toole, Conservative MP for Durham, Ontario, discussed his experience serving the dental profession when providing in-house corporate counsel for Procter & Gamble.
- Marc Garneau, Liberal MP for Westmount–Ville-Marie, Quebec, discussed the training he underwent as an astronaut to perform emergency dental procedures in orbit.
The annual Dental Dinner was once again a success, bringing together MPs with a direct or family connection to the dental profession. The evening allows the CDA delegation to reinforce its relationships with these MPs and ensure that they are familiar with oral health issues.
Meeting with the Minister of Health
Following the Days on the Hill, a CDA delegation met with Minister of Health Leona Aglukkaq to discuss access to care for First Nations and Inuit and how CDA’s national oral health strategy could help tackle this long-standing issue. Minister Aglukkaq raised with Dr. Doig her personal concern with regard to the overprescription of narcotic painkillers across all medical professions, and urged the dental profession to take steps to address this issue.

Philosophy: I create for my own pleasure and eventually, I share.
What I like at this time: great precision airports with ZL21 sat imagery, huge files, some FPS issues for slower iMacs (not mine!). Anyway, I keep older and less FPS hungry versions available.
I answer questions in French, Dutch, German and English. I understand Spanish, some Italian.
A huge library and 58 detailed airports in Belgium, Florida, Hawaii, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas.
And it’s free!
We use World Editor 2 for the placement of objects, sat imagery, ATC air traffic control, traffic flows depending on time, wind, aircraft type, air & ground service vehicles. We pay attention to details and attractive designs by using TWY edges, tire tracks, more precise roads, …
We have a library of objects called NAPS library. Our occasional partners in design are Cami De Bellis and Marc Leydecker.
X-Life is our preferred traffic plugin and we implement it wherever it’s possible.

BRYN ATHYN, Pa. – The Gallaudet University women's basketball team lost here Thursday night to Bryn Athyn College, 55-43, in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) game.
Senior guard Zamica Gage (Washington, D.C.) led Gallaudet offense with a game-high 21 points to go with nine rebounds and seven steals. Fellow senior Danielle Morris (St. Louis, Mich.) added eight points and grabbed 10 rebounds and made one block in the loss.
GU (3-5, 2-2 NEAC) jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the first quarter before Bryn Athyn (4-4, 2-1 NEAC) closed the gap to 11-10 after the first 10 minutes played. The Lions took their first lead early in the second quarter and increased it to six, 20-14, with 2:12 left in the half. GU cut the deficit and only trailed 22-19 at halftime.
The third quarter was closely contested as GU cut Bryn Athyn's lead to two points, several times, but couldn't regain the lead. The Lions pulled away in the fourth quarter as they outscored the Bison, 22-16, with 10 of those points coming from the bench.
Three different Lions finished in double figures led by Je'La Watson's 14 points off the bench in 18 minutes.
- Senior Danielle Warren (San Jose, Calif.) recorded six defensive rebounds
- Sophomore Darriyan Thomas (Vallejo, Calif.) chipped in four points, four rebounds and four steals off the bench
- GU went 0-for-11 from 3-point range
- The Lions made 41.4 percent (12 of 29) of its shots in the second half
- Gallaudet led for seven minutes and 23 seconds
- The game featured one lead change and was tied three different times
Gallaudet returns home this weekend for two conference games. The Bison will first go up against Penn College on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 2 p.m. GU defeated Penn College 64-43 last month on the road.

The SR50A is a rugged acoustic sensor for measuring the distance from the sensor to a target. It is typically used to measure snow or water depth, but it is well-suited for other uses.
Because the speed of sound in air varies with temperature, an independent temperature measurement is required to compensate the distance reading. A simple calculation is applied to initial readings for this purpose.
Note: This sensor may not be suitable for marine environments.Read More
The "-L" on a product model indicates that the cable length is specified at the time of order.
The SR50A was designed to meet the stringent requirements of measuring depths and uses a multiple echo processing algorithm to help ensure measurement reliability.
SDI-12, RS-232, and RS-485 output options are available for measuring the SR50A. Campbell Scientific’s MD485 interface can be used to connect one or more SR50A sensors in RS-485 mode to an RS-232 device. This can be useful for sensors that require lead lengths that exceed the limits of either RS-232 or SDI-12 communications.
The SR50A replaced the SR50 in March 2007. The newer SR50A is smaller and has different output options than its predecessor.
|Measurement Time||< 1.0 s|
|Output Options||SDI-12 version 1.3, RS-232, RS-485 (output options selected by configuring internal jumpers)|
|Baud Rates||1200 to 38400 bps (RS-232, RS-485 modes)|
|Power Requirements||9 to 18 Vdc (typically powered by datalogger’s 12 Vdc power supply)|
|Measurement Range||0.5 to 10 m (1.6 to 32.8 ft)|
|Resolution||0.25 mm (0.01 in.)|
|Accuracy||±1 cm (0.4 in.) or 0.4% of distance to target (whichever is greatest). Requires external temperature compensation.|
|Operating Temperature Range||-45° to +50°C|
|Length||10.1 cm (4.0 in.)|
|Diameter||7.5 cm (3 in.)|
|Weight||375 g (13.2 oz) without cable|
|Cable Weight||250 g (8.2 oz) for a 4.57-m (15-ft) cable|
Maximum Cable Length
|SDI-12||60 m (200 ft)|
|RS-232||60 m (200 ft) Baud rates ≤ 9600 bps|
300 m (984 ft)
Cable lengths greater than 60 m require a heavier gage wire if the power supply drops below 11 Vdc.
|Typical Active||250 mA|
|Quiescent SDI-12 Mode||< 1.0 mA|
|Quiescent RS-232/RS-485 Modes||
To achieve an unobstructed view for the SR50A's beam, the SR50A is typically mounted to a tripod mast, tower leg, or user-supplied pole via the CM206 6-ft crossarm. The 19517 mounting kit attaches directly to the crossarm. The 19484 mounting stem attaches to the crossarm via the 17953 NU-RAIL fitting or CM220 right-angle mount. If the surface is at an angle, the CM230 Adjustable Inclination Mount should be used instead of the NU-RAIL fitting or CM220 mount.
Number of FAQs related to SR50A-L: 17
Expand AllCollapse All
No. The maximum cable length is approximately 800 ft.
Yes, but more routine maintenance of the sensor is needed in marine environments.
Yes. The accuracy of the sensor is 1 cm or 0.4% of distance to water (whichever is greater). As long as the water level is deeper than this, the water height can be confidently determined.
Yes. This sensor has an SDI-12 output.
Approximately 800 feet. This is a function of the limitations of the SDI-12 signal.
The potential error is roughly ±0.4% of distance for a ±25° Celsius variation away from 0° Celsius.
Because the speed of sound changes with temperature, Campbell Scientific recommends using the SR50A-L in tandem with a temperature sensor for the most accurate measurements.
This sensor requires regular maintenance in a marine environment. The SR50A-L functions properly if care is taken to keep the vent free of salt accumulation and the interior free of moisture by replacing the desiccant as needed. It may also be necessary to carefully clean the face of the sensor to remove salt deposits.

Strokes of luck: In a typical year at the Arlington Heights Park District's Arlington Lakes Golf Club, there are maybe 15 hole-in-ones, or one every three or four weeks. Well, there must have been something in the water at Arlington Lakes during a six-day period in June, when three golfers tallied hole-in-ones.
First was Raymond King of Arlington Heights, who aced the 17th hole using an 8 iron. Three days later, Mike Sullivan of Arlington Heights aced the 14th hole with his 5 wood. Then, two days after that, Bill Swichtenberg of Streamwood joined the hole-in-one parade, using his sand wedge on the 12th.
Before King's ace, it had been 18 days since a hole-in-one had been carded at Arlington Lakes, and after Swichtenberg's hole-in-one, 22 days elapsed before the next one.
"Golfers play about 65,000 rounds a year at Arlington Lakes, and it's certainly unusual to have three hole-in-ones stacked that close together," said Jon Smith, assistant club pro. "Have I ever shot one? I've been golfing 18 years without a hole-in-one, but I'll never stop trying."

Both were prominent in the early stages when the Seagulls' smart play indicated a hard afternoon for the home club.
Ward, signed a couple of days ago from Wolves on a season's loan, was involved in setting up several promising attacks which put Birmingham's reconstructed defence under pressure.
But Agustien was the player who created the breakthrough in the 73rd minute. He put a pass into the path of Crofts who scored with a low measured cross shot to the right of Randolph.

Design for Decorative Lighting
16 1/2 x 11 5/8 in. (41.9 x 29.5 cm)
Claude Fayette Bragdon
(Oberlin, OH, 1866 - 1946, New York, NY)
Medium and Support:
India Ink on thin board
Marion Stratton Gould Fund
Location: Not currently on view
As an architect, Bragdon had long been frustrated by the lack of a modern architectural ornament style free from cultural and historical associations. Like philosophers and artists before him, he sought a sacred geometry of cosmic significance and harmonious design. In his 1915 book Projective Ornament he outlined a universal system of design based on numbers and geometry abstracted from nature. Bragdon’s mystical beliefs influenced his use of the fourth dimension in creating his ornament. He believed in the fourth dimension as a mystical hyperspace that explained some of the mysteries of life and the afterlife. Bragdon based his new ornamental style on a complex system of projecting and manipulating two-dimensional shapes such as squares and triangles into four-dimensional shapes such as tesseracts and pentahedroids.
Claude Bragdon was a prolific writer who often illustrated his books with his own projective ornament designs. This design begins the chapter “The Eternal Feminine” in Old Lamps for New: The Ancient Wisdom in the Modern World (1925). Bragdon envisioned projective ornament as a universal design system for all facets of life from architectural environments to book jackets, from clothing to lamps.

Congratulations to 8th-grader Neethi Bangalore for once again coming out on top at Hart's annual spelling bee competition.
This is the third year in a row Neethi has edged out Hart's other outstanding spellers to take the top title. She will advance to the Bay Area preliminary rounds in mid-February.
"I feel good, happy," Neethi said of her third win. "I was sort of expecting it because I won the last two years."
Students in all grades took part in preliminary written exams in their English and block classes to determine the top spellers at Hart. The top 27 students in all three grades advanced to the school competition on Friday, Jan. 23 in the Hart multipurpose room.
Competition was tough as the school's best spellers competed for the coveted top prize and the chance to advance to the Bay Area competition.
The tense competition came down to two stellar spellers -- Neethi and 8th-grader Sophie Wan. The two girls duked it out for eight full rounds before Neethi correctly spelled the winning word -- fibrillation.
Next up for Neethi is the regional preliminary round Feb. 21 at the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley. If Neethi scores high enough on that written exam, she'll advance to the San Francisco Chronicle's Spelling Bee final competition at Pier 39 in San Francisco. The nation's best spellers will compete in May at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.
In addition to the regional contest, there's an Alameda County spelling bee in March in which Neethi will take part. If she wins the county competition, she'll advance to the state level.
Last year, Neethi won the county bee and tied for 11th place at the state spelling bee. The previous year, Neethi also won the county bee and came in second at the state level.
Congratulations to Neethi and all of Hart's superb spellers!
Best of luck to Neethi at the next level of competitions!

Dietary supplements and vitamins can increase the risk of cancer.
The research team from the Cancer center at the University of Colorado found that excessive consumption of vitamins stimulates the growth of cancerous tumors. According to the published report of the American Association for cancer research, those people who regularly take vitamin supplements and dietary Supplements, are more prone to cancer than those who regularly eat organic fruits and vegetables.
“When we first tested dietary supplements on animals, the results were promising. However, when we conducted a study with a duration of more than ten years with the participation of thousands of patients, some of whom took vitamin supplements, and the other part placebo, we found out that these drugs do not carry such a positive impact on the human body, as is commonly believed. In fact, some people taking diet supplements were more prone to the formation of cancerous tumors,” says the study’s author, Dr. Tim Byers.
Scientists found out that excessive consumption of supplements of beta-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer and cardiovascular disease by 20 percent, and a surplus of folic acid and other B-vitamin supplements not only can prevent polyps of the colon, as previously thought, but also can cause the appearance of tumors in the intestines.
“This does not mean that vitamins are dangerous to health. Our study shows that only excessive consumption of dietary supplements can adversely affect health and therefore should not exceed recommended dosage. It is also worth remembering that live a balanced diet is much healthier than to use supplements,” adds Dr. Tim Byers.
Earlier, scientists from the Netherlands have proven that fish oil prevents cancer.

On 15 December 2021, National Treasury published its discussion paper titled “Taxation of Electronic Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Delivery Systems”, outlining its proposal for the taxation of Electronic Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS/ENNDS) in South Africa. This year’s Budget Speech, delivered by current Minister Enoch Godongwana, placed government’s tax proposal at R2.90 per millilitre, with plans to introduce the tax from 1 January 2023. The Department, during its recently-held workshop on the taxation of ENDS/ENNDS, has made it clear that it intends to abide by this deadline despite there being issues that require urgent addressing.
There are multiple areas of concern with government’s current proposals. One is that its basis for introducing a tax on ENDS/ENNDS is largely factually incorrect and is based on outdated scientific evidence. Treasury has also failed to paint an accurate picture for the industry’s economic contribution and the contribution such a tax would generate. In doing so, Treasury has endorsed the fearmongering of the anti-tobacco lobby which is hellbent on undermining tobacco harm reduction as a viable alternative to quit or die approaches of tobacco control.
The discussion paper, in its current form, is a poorly drafted document relying on outdated information on the science behind vaping, and the state of local and international vaping markets. This is, of course, gravely concerning as it forms the rationale for Treasury’s need to urgently introduce a tax on vaping products. Relying on outdated evidence is simply irresponsible, given that the body of scientific knowledge on ENDS/ENNDS is rapidly expanding and evolving. A look at the latest available data, such as the Cochrane Library’s evidence update published in September 2021, highlights the effectiveness of ENDS/ENNDS for smoking cessation, compared to other forms of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). This specific evidence review also notes improved lung function, lowered carbon monoxide levels, and did not detect any clear evidence of serious harms from nicotine electronic cigarettes.
Much like the arguments presented by the national Department of Health (DoH) in its introduction of the draft Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (COTPENDS) Bill, Treasury highlights a pressing need to protect non-smokers and non-users of ENDS/ENNDS, while showing very little concern for the health and needs of smokers who may greatly benefit from using less harmful alternatives. This blatant disregard for smoker’s rights, taken together with the Minister’s own eagerness to “introduce it today”, referring to the vaping tax in his budget speech, makes a mockery of government’s often cited concern for the health of smokers.
In addition to the contextual matters identified, procedurally, the discussion paper seems rather ill-timed particularly given that government has yet to develop a legal framework for vaping in South Africa. To date, Cabinet has not tabled the Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems Bill (COTPENDS) in Parliament to afford South Africans and the scientific community an opportunity to make representations about the nature of regulations that should govern these products. There is also a need for an updated Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (SEIAS) report on the Bill. In the absence of these crucial elements, discussions on a vaping tax are simply out of place.
A diligent look at the vaping market in South Africa should indicate to Treasury that vaping taxes in South Africa are, in economic and social terms, nonsensical. Taxing vaping products in South Africa will not generate any meaningful revenue for government since the South African market remains in its infancy. Instead, it will drive smaller vaping companies, who contribute to the country’s job creation mandate, out of business. Treasury should ask itself if this is palatable in the context of a product that has been proven to be 95% less harmful than smoking. Additionally, a vaping tax will have dangerous social consequences and may likely undermine governments’ objective to reduce the number smokers in the country. In essence, a vaping tax will make vaping products more expensive and deter smokers from making the necessary switch to a safer alternative.
Government has failed to demonstrate a genuine appreciation of the available evidence on ENDS/ENNDS. In addition to this, Treasury’s taxation workshop, attended by VPASA, confirmed that it has not applied its mind to some critical considerations where the introduction of the tax is concerned. In the main, Treasury has failed to clearly outline the expected outcome of the tax, including impact on vaping behaviour and expected revenue. The industry has also been left in the dark on the Department’s thinking around revenue collection and how this will be conducted. This is most regrettable, and points to a gap that Treasury needs to address urgently.
It is indeed true that vaping products can no longer afford to operate within a legislative vacuum. It is equally true that any attempts to regulate the industry need to be evidence-based. There are several reflections, linked to the vaping debate, that Treasury ought to make. In doing so, Treasury should approach the issue of vaping taxes with supreme dexterity and resolve to maintain its integrity.

The central nervous system (CNS) is a fascinating and intricate set of biological structures that we have yet to fully understand. Studying the in vivo function of the CNS and finding novel methods for treating neurological disorders have been particularly challenging. One difficulty is correcting genetic disorders afflicting the CNS in a targeted manner. Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) have emerged as promising therapeutic tools for treating genetic defects of the CNS, due to their excellent safety profile and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). While stereotactic injection of AAV is promising for localized gene delivery, it is less desirable for some applications because of the technique's invasiveness and limited intraparenchymal spread. Alternatively, intravascular administration can achieve widespread delivery of rAAV to the CNS. In this chapter, we will discuss the prevalent routes of administration to deliver rAAV to the CNS via intravenous (IV) injection in mice. We will highlight key considerations for using rAAV, and the advantages and disadvantages of each administration method. We will also briefly discuss intravenous delivery in larger animal models, factors that may impact experimental interpretations, and outlooks for clinical translation.

I finally got the crocodile stitches done, and I’ve begun the next section which will be done in shades of green.
Here is what it looked like last time I posted:
I’d just begun the crocodile stitch part. This section was done with all of the frames being made first and the stitches made going down afterwards. Typically, the frame is made and then the stitch one at a time. Confused yet?? There are a lot of great YouTube videos showing how the crocodile stitch is made if you’re interested.
Here is what it looks like now:
The top row didn’t sit flat until I put the green row on.
This picture was taken at an angle, and I didn’t flatten out the green edges. Still, it’s looking good! I measured it at almost 2 feet across, and I still have another 60 – 62 rows to go!
I’m not sure what stitch I’ll be doing next. The green is all double crochets just to help flatten out the crocodile stitches and set up for the next fun stitch I’m sure.
See you on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!
2 thoughts on “Free Pattern Friday: Tablecloth Pt. 5”
Wow, it looks amazing! The crocodile stitches are beautifully textured, and I’m glad you stuck with them. 🙂
They did end up looking much better than expected, and they do add to the piece. I’m glad I stuck with them too.

Introduction: For more than a decade, conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been claiming lives. Within that conflict, sexual violence has been used by militia groups to intimidate and punish communities, and to control territory. This study aimed to: (1) investigate overall frequency in number of Eastern DRC sexual assaults from 2004 to 2008 inclusive; (2) determine if peaks in sexual violence coincide with known military campaigns in Eastern DRC; and (3) study the types of violence and types of perpetrators as a function of time.
Methods: This study was a retrospective, descriptive, registry-based evaluation of sexual violence survivors presenting to Panzi Hospital between 2004 and 2008.
Results: A total of 4,311 records were reviewed. Throughout the five-year study period, the highest number of reported sexual assaults occurred in 2004, with a steady decrease in the total number of incidents reported at Panzi Hospital from 2004 through 2008. The highest peak of reported sexual assaults coincided with a known militant attack on the city of Bukavu. A smaller sexual violence peak in April 2004 coincided with a known military clash near Bukavu. Over the five-year period, the number of sexual assaults reportedly perpetrated by armed combatants decreased by 77% (p = 0.086) and the number of assaults reportedly perpetrated by non-specified perpetrators decreased by 92% (p < 0.0001). At the same time, according to the hospital registry, the number of sexual assaults reportedly perpetrated by civilians increased 17-fold (p < 0.0001). This study was limited by its retrospective nature, by the inherent selection bias of studying only survivors presenting to Panzi Hospital, and by the use of a convenience sample within Panzi Hospital.
Conclusions: After years of military rape in South Kivu Province, civilian adoption of sexual violence may be a growing phenomenon. If this is the case, the social mechanisms that prevent sexual violence will have to be rebuilt and sexual violence laws will have to be fully enforced to bring all perpetrators to justice. Proper rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-combatants may also be an important step towards reducing civilian rape in Eastern DRC.

It’s interesting how one generation’s subversion can become the next generation’s nostalgia.
That’s the story of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a British TV series that was thought to be nearly heretical by some establishment types in the 1960s and ’70s. Today it has been imbued with a rosy glow by the passage of time and societal evolution on both sides of the Atlantic.
One of the original members of the sketch comedy troupe, Michael Palin, has actually been knighted.
Monty Python’s musical comedy “Spamalot,” which is coming to Hershey Theatre at the end of the month, is an amalgam of the troupe’s work based primarily on the 1975 film, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” It’s a mostly silly and occasionally hilarious sendup of Arthurian legend written by longtime Pythonite Eric Idle.
The original 2005 Broadway production starring Tim Curry was a huge hit, running for 1,575 performances and receiving 14 Tony Award nominations, including a win for Best Musical.
Hershey’s touring production, directed by Sam Viverito, will be on stage at the Derry Township theater from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3.
Starring as King Arthur is veteran stage actor Steve McCoy, who played the same role in previous touring production of “Spamalot.” Newcomer Leslie Jackson portrays the Lady of the Lake, while Baltimore area actor Adam Grabau handles a variety of roles, including Sir Lancelot.
Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg brings “Radium Girls” to the stage starting Jan. 18, telling a fact-based story about a horrifying episode in American history.
In the 1920s, women hired to paint watch dials with luminous paint in three factories owned by the United States Radium Corporation began falling sick and dying from a mysterious illness. Known as Radium Girls, they soon sued their employers
They had been told the radium-based paint was harmless, and even encouraged by their bosses to use their lips to give their brushes a fine point when working. They even painted their fingernails and teeth with it.
You have free articles remaining.
Radium watches were all the rage, and Madame Marie Curie, the French chemist who first identified it, was an international celebrity.
But this fashion trend soon turned tragic, as women began dying from what turned out to be radiation poisoning caused by the radioactive substance. At the time, little was known about the dangers of radioactivity. Curie herself succumbed to her long exposure to radioactive substances in 1933.
LTM’s production of “Radium Girls” runs through Feb. 3 at the community theater. Written by D.W. Gregory, the drama is directed by Robert Zaccano with a cast that includes Gretchen Ray, Gordon Einhorn, Mary Geraci, Sarah Allwein and others.
Celebration of musical giants
Both lyricist William Schwenck Gilbert and composer Arthur Seymour Sullivan had success in the world of British opera before meeting one another in 1870 during a rehearsal of one of Gilbert’s “entertainments.”
By 1874, the two were collaborating professionally, creating a series of 14 comic operas that redefined the genre with a style that has sometimes been described as “fast-talking people saying funny things.” Among the pair’s better-known works are “H.M.S. Pinafore,” “The Pirates of Penzance” and, of course, “The Mikado,” which has become one of the most frequently staged musical theater pieces in history.
Along the way they also produced a plethora of memorable songs, including gems such as “I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General” and “Three Little Maids from School are We.”
Beginning next week the Krevsky Center, Theatre Harrisburg will present a celebration of Gilbert and Sullivan’s music titled “Oh Joy, Oh Rapture!” The show’s title comes from a “Pinafore” tune titled “Oh Joy, Oh Rapture Unforeseen.”
Theatre Harrisburg’s tribute is directed by Artistic Director Emeritus Thomas Hostetter. The show will be performed seven times between Jan. 18 and 27.
Gilbert and Sullivan continued to create comic operas together until 1896, but their partnership ended in acrimony well before Sullivan’s death in 1900. Gilbert died in 1911. Their work, however, lives on.

DETROIT.Detroit officials hosted a media event this week at its 3.2-million-sq.-ft. facility in Detroit, outlining the company’s path to greenhouse gas 2014 (GHG14) engine compliance and changes made to the new DD15 engine that will be the primary powerplant for Daimler Trucks North America’s (DTNA) Freightliner Cascadia Evolution tractor.
DTNA was the first manufacturer to have its vehicles certified to meet GHG14 regulations set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“It is our goal to pace the industry in emissions compliance and fuel efficiency. Early submissions for GHG14 engine compliance is evidence of this strategy for the updated family of Detroit engines,” said Brad Williamson, manager, engine and component marketing for Daimler Trucks North America. “The Detroit brand is synonymous with power and efficiency, and our enhanced engine lineup builds on our tradition of providing our customers with the best performing products in the market today while meeting the emissions regulations.”
The big change in the 2013 line is the DD15. The new DD15 will be exclusively matched to the new Cascadia Evolution tractor that sister company Freightliner took the wraps off at the Mid-America Trucking Show in March. Both companies are part of Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA).
By being able to offer an integrated package between the Evolution, which has shown in testing to provide up to a 7% improvement over a first-generation 2010-compliant Cascadia, the new DD15 engine, proprietary axles and even a new DT12 transmission, DTNA is able to provide customers with a finished product that maximizes fuel efficiency, serviceability, and customer satisfaction, Detroit officials said.
The new DD15 has seen a number of updates from the old DD15, which has been renamed the DD15 TC and will still be produced for those fleets that want a 15L engine. The engine features an asymmetric turbocharger with a next-generation amplified common rail system for improved performance and fuel economy.
“We’ve tuned this [package] to be optimum for the fleet operation that is the most common for the Cascadia in North America,” said Mark Groeneweg, director of Daimler Trucks powertrain engineering-NAFTA.
The company also switched from a twin filter system to an improved single filter system that doubles filter change intervals to 100,000 mi. on most engines.
“We’ve run these in our reliability productivity fleet in Oregon and 100,000 mi. is a conservative estimate,” Groeneweg said.
The new filter system also requires less priming strokes and offers easier access to the water drain, the company added.
A new variable speed water pump that is electronically controlled allows the system to pump coolant only when it is needed, further improving fuel economy.
Additional engine enhancements include an optimized piston design, which reduces oil consumption through the use of an improved oil control ring; and ACRS, which provides higher injector pressure for improved combustion control while eliminating the pressure regulator, improving overall engine performance.
The DD15 engine overall weighs 100 lbs. less than the DD15 TC.
All of the 2013 engines in the lineup – the DD15, DD15 TC, DD16, and DD13 - have received a new 1-Box system as part of an upgraded BlueTec emissions system. The new 1-Box includes fewer parts and has been universally configured for all trucks, which also speeds serviceability, Detroit said.
The big change in the BlueTec system is the elimination of the air-assisted technology used to inject diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust in favor of a liquid-only delivery system. According to Groeneweg, this will also contribute to improved fuel economy.
The DDEC electronics architecture also been tweaked. “We’ve reworked our electronics architecture to increase speed,” Groeneweg pointed out. “We’ve updated the processors and also [designed it] to accept the Detroit transmission.”
The DD15 TC is the “original” DD15, if you will. “Today’s DD15 is tomorrow’s DD15 TC,” said Williamson. “There is a lot of reasons for that, but the main one is we wanted to give the customer [options].”
Since the new DD15 will only be available in the Cascadia Evolution at this point, both Freightliner and Western Star customers looking for a 15L would have been left without a Detroit engine choice. The DD15 TC (which stands for turbo compounding) will receive many of the engine family changes including the new DDEC electronic controls and improved fuel filter system, Detroit said, and ensure customers still have options.
The DD16 has been tweaked as well, notably a new power range. The engine will now offer horsepower ranging from 505 to 600 with up to 2,050 lbs.-ft. of torque.
The DD13 also includes fuel injector nozzle modifications and a new crankcase sensor for OBD requirements as well as the aforementioned engine family changes. With ratings from 370-470 hp. and a torque range from 1,250 to 1,650 lbs.-ft., the engine remains an excellent choice for regional, less-than-truckload, and vocational applications, according to the company.


Scoop: Trump's budget calls for major boost to nukes
President Trump will request a major increase to the budget for America's nuclear weapons arsenal, according to people familiar with the budget request the administration will unveil on Monday.
By the numbers: Trump's 2021 budget calls for $28.9 billion for the Pentagon to modernize nuclear delivery systems and $19.8 billion to the National Nuclear Security Administration — a nearly 20% increase over his previous budget request — for "modernizing the nuclear weapons stockpile," according to people familiar with the budget request.
- "This includes a range of warhead life extension programs, investments in new scientific tools we need to maintain a safe, effective and reliable nuclear stockpile into the future," said a source familiar, "a major increase for maintenance and upgrade to a long-neglected and aging infrastructure, and funding to restore the nation's capability to develop new nuclear warheads."
Why it matters: Political leaders in America have kept delaying modernizing the three legs of the nuclear triad — land-launched nuclear missiles, nuclear submarines and strategic aircraft. These systems have now aged to the "end of their service lives," said Mackenzie Eaglen, defense budget expert at the American Enterprise Institute.
- "We keep putting bandaids over bandaids and now new systems are required," Eaglen added.
Between the lines: There's a lot of bipartisan agreement in defense policy. But Republicans and Democrats tend to diverge when it comes to nuclear forces and arms control agreements.
- Democrats tend to instinctively support international arms control agreements, with a goal to set a path to zero nuclear weapons, whereas Republicans tend to be reflexively skeptical of such agreements and supportive of modernizing the U.S. arsenal.
- Democrats and liberals often argue that improvements to the U.S. arsenal will make nuclear war more likely. Republicans and conservatives tend to argue that the way to prevent nuclear war is to have a stronger arsenal.
Behind the scenes: President Trump is firmly in the latter camp and has often told his aides that the U.S. needs to have the best nuclear weapons program in the world. He has even privately mused about his desire for the U.S. to grow its arsenal, though that does not appear to be the point of this budget request.
- "The president very much believes in nuclear modernization, as reflected by these generous budget increases," said a person familiar with this budget.
The big picture: China has turned the old nuclear calculation upside down. The Cold War-era arms control debate was framed around the U.S. versus the Soviet Union. That bilateral conception of arms control continues to the present day, with the New START Treaty struck between the U.S. and Russia under the Obama administration.
- Trump needs to decide, this year, whether to negotiate with Russia to extend the New START agreement, which expires in 2021.
- But complicating this picture is a new major power, China, whose officials have said they have no interest in participating in arms control agreements.
- Not only that, the Russians and the Chinese are modernizing their nuclear arsenals, while the U.S. is not, Eaglen said. Pakistan and India are growing their arsenals. "The trend lines are moving in opposite directions from the U.S.," she added.
The bottom line: America's nuclear infrastructure is aging, but the project of modernizing the warheads and the missiles is enormously expensive and will take many years. Congress has not shown a capacity to support the spending required so far.

Tuesday night was the Art Opening & Rodeo Featuring ***New Work*** by the infamous Cowboy Ray Kelly – sculptor, art maverick, man about town and Lower East Side original. As a young art student he was Motherwell’s favorite bartender. As a young artist he was Rothko’s painting assistant for three years during the building of the Rothko Chapel in Houston. As a young man he founded the Rivington School and No Se No social club/art gallery on NY’s Lower East Side where everyone from Debbie Harry to Keith Haring stopped in for the one dollar beers and when, in the 1980’s, he turned empty, needle infested, lots into welcoming sculpture gardens for all to enjoy. He is a living legend, one who helped transform our great city into the art center that it is, especially on the LES when no one but no one, except crazy, broke, artists wanted to be there. Stop by the Orchard Windows Gallery anytime through May 13th and experience a true cowboy’s creative vision right here in the Big Apple.

The flier, obtained by Unwired View, says something akin to “something small will be really big”, and “get ready for a little sensation," when translated.
The Galaxy S III Mini is rumored to be a Galaxy S III that has had its screen shrunk to 4-inches, as opposed to the 4.8-inch screen of Samsung's flagship device.
The flier itself seems to point to some sort of Galaxy S device. Squarely placed in the middle of the flier is the S that Samsung uses for its Galaxy S-branded devices. The "small will be really big" language seems to cement it being a Galaxy S III mini.
Though still unclear, hopefully the device will launch with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) rather than Android 4.0, which a number of devices continue to ship with. Previously leaked details said its 4-inch touchscreen would have a resolution of 800 x 400, and that the smartphone would ship with a dual-core processor and a 5MP rear-facing camera.


Today the Queensland Police Service Academy, Oxley campus saw 89 recruits and eight police dogs (PDs) graduate in an induction ceremony attended by Commissioner Ian Stewart and Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services, the Hon. Jo-Ann Miller MP.
Graduating as First Year Constables (FYC), the 89 recruits completed the 25 week Recruit Training Program. The program aims to provide recruits with a quality foundation so that they can provide excellent service to the community and ensuring their policing skills have developed to a level necessary for operational policing as First Year Constables under supervision.
The FYCs originate from Australia, England, Fiji, Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and Zimbabwe and bring with them life experiences from diverse backgrounds with previous occupations including Fire Fighter, Defence Forces and Custodial Correctional Officer.
Commissioner Stewart congratulated the FYCs on their graduation and announced that they would be positioned in the Brisbane, Central, Northern, South Eastern and Southern Regions to commence their career.
“I remember my induction ceremony well and I hope that this afternoon’s ceremony is a memory that each FYC carries with them throughout a long and successful career within the QPS,” Commissioner Stewart said.
“The role of a police officer is like no other – responsible for the safety and security of Queensland. There is no doubt that each of these new officers will experience some challenging situations, however there will also be many rewarding and humbling times.
“I wish luck to every officer in their career and feel confident that they will uphold the QPS standards of excellence and service,” Commissioner Stewart said.
The new FYCs will be initially deployed to the following areas:
- North Brisbane (19)
- South Brisbane (14)
- Bowen (1)
- Gympie (2)
- Mackay (2)
- Maryborough (6)
- Sarina (1)
- Whitsundays (1)
- Cairns (6)
- Innisfail (2)
- Mareeba (2)
- Mount Isa (4)
- Townsville (10)
- Gold Coast (12)
- Logan (3)
- Dalby (2)
- Ipswich (2)
The QPS also welcomed eight PDs who officially joined the ranks today as part of the induction ceremony.
PD Wolf and his handler, Sergeant Jason Austin and PD Moogai and his handler, Senior Constable Glen Ayoub will perform duties for the Moreton Dog Squad. PD Rambo and his handler Sergeant Ian Grigoris will perform duties for the Maryborough Dog Squad.
PD Rebel and his handler, Senior Constable Phil Cowling; PD Onyx and his handler Senior Constable Glenn Arthur; PD Roco and his handler, Senior Constable Stuart Ellison; PD Tyler and his handler, Senior Constable Nathan Ross will perform duties for the Brisbane Dog Squad. PD Rowdy and his handler, Senior Constable Josh Bull will perform duties for the Mount Isa Dog Squad.

Crypto users are bridging millions of dollars in funds to the zkSync network in a move that’s likely in anticipation of a potential token airdrop.
Airdrops refer to crypto projects sending free tokens en masse to their communities in a bid to encourage adoption.
Crypto users who frequently interact with new and existing platforms will likely receive an airdrop at some stage – which has quickly spurred the narrative of “airdrop farming” in Crypto Twitter circles, as large airdrops can be valued at thousands of dollars in effectively free money at peak.
Strategies from Crypto Twitter participants for a chance to claim the tokens – if and when they are issued – include bridging to zkSync, providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges such as ZigZag and conducting a few trades every week.
zkSync is a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup, a trustless protocol that uses cryptographic validity proofs to provide scalable and low-cost transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. In zkSync, computation is performed off-chain and most data is stored off-chain as well.
Data from Nansen shows nearly $8 million worth of tokens have flowed to the network in the past week.
Elsewhere, DefiLlama data shows the total-value-locked metric on the zkSync-based decentralized exchange ZigZag ballooned to over $13 million on Tuesday from last week’s $1.5 million. All of the flows to ZigZag were in tether (USDT) stablecoins, the data shows.
Such movements are likely coming in the anticipation of an token airdrop from other networks following layer 2 blockchain Arbitrum’s move to issue its token to users in a decision last week.
“The Arbitrum airdrop has brought renewed interest in airdrop hunting across other chains that have yet to launch a token,” Nansen analyst Martin Lee explained in a note to CoinDesk. “The confirmation of the Arbitrum airdrop also means that farming activity will shift away from Arbitrum and towards other chains.”
Last week saw layer 2 network Arbitrum confirm its much-awaited native token, ARB, to users based on their prior network activity. The tokens are claimable on Thursday, but futures markets are already pricing the tokens from $1.40 to over $9 apiece, as CoinDesk reported.
CoinDesk is an award-winning media outlet that covers the cryptocurrency industry. Its journalists abide by a strict set of editorial policies. In November 2023, CoinDesk was acquired by the Bullish group, owner of Bullish, a regulated, digital assets exchange. The Bullish group is majority-owned by Block.one; both companies have interests in a variety of blockchain and digital asset businesses and significant holdings of digital assets, including bitcoin. CoinDesk operates as an independent subsidiary with an editorial committee to protect journalistic independence. CoinDesk offers all employees above a certain salary threshold, including journalists, stock options in the Bullish group as part of their compensation.

A technologically obsolete medium that self-destructs over time? No wonder only 89 million CDs were purchased in all of 2017. Back in 2001, that number peaked at 800 million and many of those copies were sold by retail giants like Best Buy and Target. But as interest in physical discs has waned, so too has the amount of space these stores dedicate to such inventory. Soon enough, Best Buy will cease selling CDs altogether, while Target will ask record labels to front the costs, according to a new report from Billboard.
Come July 1st, Best Buy will no longer offer CDs in its retail stores. Physical music is only generating around $40 million in annual revenue for the company and executives would rather dedicate the floor space to more lucrative items, Billboard notes. Best Buy will continue to sell vinyl for at least the next two years, but titles will now be merchandised with turntables.
Meanwhile, Target is reportedly pressuring record companies into signing consignment agreements. Under such a scenario, the label would be required to purchase back any unsold inventory. Though Target only stocks 100 titles at any given time, it’s still responsible for a sizable chunk of sales. For example, last year Target moved 500,000 copies of Taylor Swift’s latest, Reputation. Even still, one major label has already turned down Target’s demands, while two others are undecided, according to Billboard.

Root Canal Therapy
Save Teeth With Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Therapy: What Is Root Canal Treatment and Why Do I Need It?
There are many misconceptions about Root Canal Therapy, otherwise know as Endodontic Therapy, that exist. Dr. Kerbel desires to help you understand some of the myths concerning Root Canal Therapy and after your comprehensive examination in our Dallas Dental Office he will explain your options to you if Root Canal Therapy is indicated.
An often reported myth is that a badly infected tooth, or a tooth with significant decay, must be removed (tooth extraction), but today that is not accurate. Most teeth, if diagnosed early enough, can be saved by performing Root Canal treatment. Our desire is to help you save your teeth, rather than removing them and having to then replace the missing tooth with another dental restorative option.
Another often reported myth is that Root Canal Therapy is always painful. Dr. Kerbel wants all of your treatment to be comfortable and painless; in fact most of his patients sleep through the procedure without any “sleeping medications.”
The last myth that we often hear about Root Canal Treatment is that “the roots are going to be removed.” Nothing could be further from the truth as only the nerve is removed from within the root itself. The tooth roots are left intact and the nerve causing the problem is removed so healing can begin. If Root Canal Therapy is needed, Dr. Kerbel will explain to you why it is needed and your options.
While this list is not comprehensive, here are a few reasons that Root Canal Treatment is necessary:
- Pain or throbbing while chewing or biting.
- Temperature sensitivity to hot and/or cold foods.
- Significant decay into the nerve of the tooth
- A traumatic tooth injury that requires Root Canal Therapy
- An abscess (infection) in the bone found below a tooth
After Root Canal Therapy the tooth may need to have a Crown buildup, or even a post to help protect the tooth and to give the tooth the additional strength it will need for chewing. After a thorough exam, Dr. Kerbel will give you all your options and together you will be able to make the treatment decision that best suits your situation.
Dallas Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Therapy can be done comfortably and success rates for teeth that have been Root Canal Treated have been reported to be as high as 95%. It is important to get treatment early because early treatment will prevent more extensive procedures and will improve your success rate.

On average, a lower blood pressure goal was no better than the standard blood pressure goal at slowing progression of kidney disease among African-Americans who had chronic kidney disease resulting from high blood pressure, according to results of the African-American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK), the largest and longest study of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in African-Americans. However, the blood pressure goal did benefit people who also had protein in the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, appears in the Sept. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The AASK also found that among people with protein in their urine, keeping blood pressure at the lower level reduced the likelihood of kidney disease progression, kidney failure or death by 27 percent compared to the standard blood pressure level, a statistically significant difference.
"For some patients, more intensive control of blood pressure may slow progression of chronic kidney disease," said Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the NIH. "Rigorous, long-term studies like the AASK remain critically important for improving treatment of CKD and other diseases that develop over time, as it can take years for benefits of treatment to emerge."
AASK adds new information about which CKD patients benefit from lowering of blood pressure. This information may help doctors practice evidence-based, personalized medicine, the tailoring of each treatment regimen to each patient's unique characteristics. AASK followed participants for approximately 12 years to measure the long-term effects of blood pressure control in African-Americans with kidney disease attributed to high blood pressure.
The study was conducted in two phases. First, in a clinical trial from 1995 to 1998, participants were randomly assigned to a standard blood pressure goal of roughly 140/90 mmHg (usual) or a lower goal of less than 130/80 mmHg. After the clinical trial was completed, most of the remaining participants were enrolled in a follow-up study in which everyone had a blood pressure goal of less than 130/80 mm/Hg.
"The AASK study is the largest and longest study of kidney disease in African-Americans. It is a landmark study that is paying off - guiding patient care and improving health outcomes," said Lawrence Appel, M.D. of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, who chaired the study. "This study also highlights the importance of conducting long-term clinical studies. Without the follow-up study, the benefits of the lower goal would have been missed."
In the United States, high blood pressure causes about one third of new cases of kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The cost to the government and private payers for ESRD now exceeds $35 billion annually.
"For nearly two decades, the AASK research has provided valuable information about the most desirable, long-term chronic kidney disease treatment options for African-Americans, who bear a disproportionate burden of this debilitating disease," said Lawrence Agodoa, M.D., director of the Office of Minority Health Research Coordination at the NIDDK. "People who participate in studies like AASK provide important information on how to protect the kidneys and preserve overall health."
Study participants were initially recruited beginning in 1995 for the AASK Clinical Trial www.nih.gov/news/pr/nov2002/niddk-25.htm. Patients with diabetes and some other serious health problems were excluded. After the conclusion of that study, AASK participants who had not yet developed ESRD were invited to participate in the AASK follow-up study, which started in 2002.
In the follow-up study, recommended blood pressure therapy started with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. This medication works by blocking the action of the protein angiotensin, which raises blood pressure. If blood pressure was not controlled, additional drugs were added. On average, patients needed about 3.5 medications for blood pressure each day. Millions of Americans take the drugs used in this study or drugs like them to treat health problems like high blood pressure or heart disease.

Prop Scan is a revolutionary marine propeller inspection system that enables propellers to be re-manufactured or modified to extreme levels of accuracy. It is established technology used by the United States, Canadian and Australian navy’s. Inaccuracies in camber, pitch and section shape which determine a vessels performance is undetectable to the human eye. These issues are detected through Prop Scan and provide the data necessary to minimize vibration and slippage from the propeller. It also allows us to provide the following:
The accuracy and form or shape of a propeller blade section as it slices through the water determines the ultimate thrust and performance of any vessel. A Premium Marine Propeller technician trained by the developer of Prop Scan in Brisbane, Australia will measure the propeller, check the accuracy against the ISO 484 International Standards and determine the section form of the propeller. We measure and compare a minimum of 4 radii and 16 local areas on each blade of the propeller to determine local pitch, section pitch, blade pitch and propeller pitch. This information allows our specialists to accurately isolate the problem areas of the propeller for repair.
A Prop Scan propeller with the correct section form and pitch will always out-perform a standard propeller.
Prop Scan uses the ISO 484/2 International Standard to inspect, report and repair propellers to guarantee repeatable results and improve performance.
|ISO 484/2 Accuracy Classes||ISO 484/2 Tolerances on Pitch|
|S||Very High Accuracy||a)||Local Pitch||Pitch of one portion of one blade||+ 1.5%||+ 2%||+ 3%||-|
|1||High Accuracy||b)||Section Pitch||Mean pitch of one radii of one blade||+ 1%||+ 1.5%||+ 2%||+ 5%|
|2||Medium Accuracy||c)||Blade Pitch||Mean pitch of one blade||+ 0.75%||+ 1%||+ 1.5%||+ 4%|
|3||Wide Tolerances||d)||Propeller Pitch||Mean pitch of all baldes||+ 0.5%||+ 0.75%||+ 1%||+ 3%|
The Active Bar Graph
The Bar Graph is one of the tools used by our qualified technicians during the repair of your propeller.

Premium Propellers offers Dynamic Balancing using a Dynamics Research-Multi-Plane Computerized System. This helps us further fine-tune your propeller to extreme accuracy that will reduce vibration, decrease propeller noise and increase bearing life.
An unbalanced propeller can be a major cause of vibration in propellers. With our 5,000 lb. capacity piece of equipment, we are able to specify where the heaviest part of the leading and trailing edge of your unbalanced propeller is. We spin the prop to a high rate of speed and determine where it is out of balance and correct the problem area to give you a much smoother ride.
The staff at Premium Propellers are experts in applying Prop Speed to propellers and running gear. Prop Speed is an environmentally friendly product specifically designed to prevent marine growth from bonding to any metal surface below the waterline. Independent tests confirm higher top-end speeds and increased fuel efficiency with the lack of marine growth on propellers… Reduce your propeller and running gear maintenance in warm waters.
Please contact us for pricing.
If you are experiencing any of the problems listed below please contact Premium Marine Propellers to get them resolved!
Propeller Induced Vibration
Propeller induced vibration can be caused by inaccuracies in pitch, camber and section shape. Prop Scan allows us to see and remove these inaccuracies. This results in a smoother, more efficient and often faster propeller.
Abrasives present in the surroundings often cause tip erosion. Tip erosion reduces the overall diameter and performance of your propeller.
Propeller cavitation causes vibration, noise and serious damage to your propeller. Can it be avoided? Cavitation problems must be split into two categories.
If the cavitation is propeller induced then we can measure your propeller using the Prop Scan inspection system and show you the cause of it. What do we need? We need your propeller and your vessel performance form to complete your propeller assessment.
Some propellers produce a high pitched noise at certain points between idle speed and full RPM. At the best of times this can be annoying, if this point lies spot in the middle of your cruising RPM it will be intolerable.
Propeller induced engine overload
If you are the proud owner of a beautiful yacht but you are a little embarrassed about the black smoke that is emerging from its transom, then it's time to do something about it. Overloading your engine will vastly reduce the overall life of this engine and the black smoke can seriously affect your boating pleasure.
Propeller not loading the engine
When an engine revs higher than its recommended maximum RPM, it does not develop its maximum horsepower. In other words you are not using your engine at its utmost capabilities. Most of the time this means there is additional speed to be gained.
Propellers not synchronized
Many twin screw vessels have badly synchronized propellers, in other words the port and starboard engine are not loaded equally and operate at different RPM’s. This is caused by pitch, camber and section shape differences between the two propellers. Can it be resolved? You can bring in your propellers and we will show you what the difference is between the port and the starboard propeller
Reversing qualities are influenced by the position of your propeller and the section shape on the suction side of your propeller.
Excessive Fuel Consumption
Does your boat consume more fuel than the recommended amount? The reason for greater fuel consumption is having a low classed propeller. On average, an ISO Class I propeller uses between 5-10% less fuel than a Class III propeller!

Sleep Problems Associated with Sensory Disabilities
Guest Post by Kayla Johnson from Tuck.com
Sensory disabilities describe disabilities that affect the senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and/or touch. Examples of sensory disabilities include:
- Blindness or poor vision
- Deafness or hearing loss
- Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
- Sensory processing disorder
Totally blind people may have Non-24 sleep disorder. They have no light perception, and end up out of sync with their circadian clock as a result. They have difficulty falling asleep at normal times, and their sleep-wake cycle can change on a daily basis by varying degrees.
People may be born deaf or experience hearing loss as they age or from a life event. People with hearing problems may suffer from tinnitus, a ringing in the ear that makes it difficult to fall asleep. Sleep apnea has also been linked to hearing loss.
It’s estimated that 40% to 80% of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) suffer from sleep problems, most commonly insomnia and waking up multiple times during the night. Anxiety and depression, often associated with ASD, also impact sleep. Children with autism spectrum disorders are also prone to bedwetting, and snoring and sleep apnea.
Often tied to autism spectrum disorders, people with sensory processing disorderexperience higher sensitivity and are easily stimulated by things in their environment, to the extent that sound, light, or touch can be painful. You can imagine how this can impact sleep.
Sleep Advice for Individuals with Sensory Disabilities
In addition to using the assistive sleep products described above, individuals with sensory disabilities may also find the following tips helpful:
For deaf children, sleep can be a scarier place. Many children are afraid of the dark, and losing an additional sense can lead to a sense of overwhelm for deaf children. Try leaving a light on in the hall or using friendly glow-in-the dark stickers or nightlights.
Along the same lines, children with sensory disabilities are more likely to be overstimulated or fearful of their bedroom. Create a calmer environment more conducive to sleep by:
- Painting the bedroom a dark color
- Minimizing light in the room and using blackout shades
- Using an air diffuser or sachet with a pleasant, gentle scent
- Having furry, velvety stuffed animals or a favorite blanket in the bed (no rattle toys, but something that feels good to squeeze and pet)
- Creating a cocoon out of blankets and pillows, or using a sleeping bag for a similar effect
- Using a bed tent as a visual cue that it’s time to sleep
You may also consider using a dietary supplement like melatonin as a sleep aid, or bright-light therapy, where you expose your child to bright light during the morning to help them wake up.
To induce sleep and establish a regular sleep/wake schedule, parents of autistic children should set a predictable and short bedtime routine of 20-30 minutes. The bedtime routine should include relaxing activities and should avoid stimulation from electronics or high-energy activities.
