Dealing with Increases in Lead-Time Caused by New Fault-Testing Equipment.
Intuitive, all-in-one solution has minimal impact on lead-time.
Key Aspects of the Solution
Kikusui Electronics’ TOS9300 series of all-in-one testers reduced the complexity of preparing and conducting tests.
The TOS9300 series displays circuit diagrams, along with information on tests and settings on a large, color LCD display for easy use and readability.
In addition to insulation resistance and voltage withstand tests, the TOS9300 series can also perform partial discharge tests concurrently, thereby minimizing the effect on lead-time.
All-in-one solution enabled the manufacturer to successfully minimize the impact on lead-time and improve yield.
At his wits’ end, the employee remembered Kikusui Electronics, with whom he had discussed electronic loads in the past. He made enquiries with a Kikusui representative. A few days later, the representative told him about the TOS9300 series of multi-function analyzers for performing electrical conformity assessment.
“The TOS9300 is a series of multi-function analyzers for electrical conformity assessment that can perform multiple electrical safety tests on electronic devices and components with a single unit. It’s the perfect solution for quality assurance testing, which is crucial for electrical safety,” explains the employee.
In particular, the recently released TOS9301PD packs all-in-one functionality into a single unit, with its ability to perform not only insulation resistance and voltage withstand tests but also partial discharge tests. Also, unlike many other testers that will only display the parameters that have been input, the TOS9301PD displays circuit diagrams and the status of testing and configuration on a large, color LCD display mounted on the front panel, greatly improving ease of viewing and operability.
The quality assurance team immediately set about borrowing a demo model of the TOS9301PD, which they used to perform partial discharge and other tests. They found that with this unit, even novice operators could easily perform partial discharge tests, with no need to set up equipment or connect a power supply. In addition to insulation resistance and voltage withstand tests, the unit could also run partial discharge tests concurrently, and its ease of use surpassed expectations. The team’s evaluation of the TOS9301PD established that the unit successfully minimized effects on lead-time. The TOS9301PD enabled them to discover potential issues caused by voids and other such faults before they arose, and they could see that it would also improve yield, which had deteriorated as a result of frequent insulation failures.
After deliberation, the manufacturer’s quality assurance division decided to deploy the TOS9301PD, which is now helping them to uncover potential faults.


Looking for a good steam mop?
I'm looking into steam mop, I consider the Shark Steam Pocket, Bissell Steam Mop and Steam Cleaning HAAN Floor Sanitizer, which would you recommend or prefer? If you have tried all or, if Please let me know how they occur, advantages, disadvantages, everything that could be useful in making my decision, they are roughly in same price range. (89.99 Bissell, Haan 99.99, 119.99 and shark)
I would go with the Bissell. I started with the shark and it was thus too many problems and was scrapped. The Bissell is cheaper and parts are cheaper to repair. I have not had a single problem with mine. But if you want the opinion of others, try these http://www.nextag.com/shark-steam-pocket-mop/stores-html-http://www.5z5.com/Feeds/?455fdcce01e6ed98 http: / / steammopreviews .blogspot.com/2009/09/haan-fs20-plus-800-watt-steam-cleaning.html Hope this help!

A fire off eastbound state Route 94 about a mile west of Sweetwater Springs backed up rush-hour traffic tonight.
The blaze burned about a quarter-acre, said Leonard Villarreal, spokesman for the San Miguel Fire Protection District.
It was caused by something being carried in the back of a pickup truck, but the nature of the object was not yet determined, Villarreal said.
Firefighters were in the mop-up stage about an hour after the blaze was reported, he said. It began about 4:15 p.m.

“I’ll Be Seeing You” is a tune written by Sammy Fain with lyrics by Irving Kahal. It was published in 1938 for the Broadway musical “Right This Way.” It has been featured in movies such as the 1944 film “I’ll Be Seeing You” and even modern films such as “The Notebook”. It has of course become a popular jazz standard and has been recorded by many notable jazz musicians. This tune is most commonly played in the key of Eb major by instrumentalists.

Food delivery company DoorDash says personalized restaurant recommendations based on AI are seeing a significant lift in orders, compared to regular recommendations based on popularity.
In an interview with VentureBeat, DoorDash product manager Jimmy Liu said customers who saw personalized recommendations on average “were over 25 percent more likely” to place an order versus people who saw the most popular restaurants in their area.
We talked with Liu on the eve of the company’s announcement today that it’s rolling out these machine-learning based recommendations to all of its users, after testing it on increasing percentages of its customer base. Millions of users have already seen the recommendations, the company said.
Liu said the 25 percent lift from recommendations came specifically from email campaigns. Machine learning (ML) based recommendations made within DoorDash’s app saw a lower lift on orders, Liu said. That’s logical, he said, because if someone is already within the app, they are already showing an intent to order — and so getting an additional lift from recommendations is comparably harder to do than for email, where someone may not be actively searching.
The results come six months after DoorDash announced it’s using ML to improve its recommendations. In a post at that time, Doordash explained it is using Bayesian network structure learning, and the so-called hill-climbing approach, to learn what people like based on what they’ve previously shown an interest in.
DoorDash confirmed some things that might be expected; for example, that anyone who says they like Asian food tends also to like Thai restaurants.

But it also found some less obvious results: If you like fast food, in turns out you’re likely to enjoy Chinese food too.
Targeting customers with new offers based on machine-learning intelligence makes sense, because it’s likely to make their decision-making easier, said Liu. “Everyone knows DoorDash has a large selection,” Liu told VentureBeat. “From my house I can order from a thousand restaurants. It’s very hard to narrow down what I want.”
The new “suggested items” feature will provide two to three new order ideas per month, the company said. The suggestions are designed to expand your horizons from your already chosen options. So if you’ve indicated from your searches that you like Asian food, DoorDash might offer up Korean or Japanese restaurants, even if you haven’t previously specifically searched for or ordered those Asian cuisines.
The company tracks 40 different user behaviors to make its recommendations, he said. It may know that you like Asian food even if you haven’t ordered it; you may have simply searched for it a lot.
Also, a new “most popular items” feature announced today will highlight the hottest items on a restaurant’s menu.
The company decided to build the ML technology entirely in house. “This gives us more control and ability to fine tune things to how we want them,” Liu said.
DoorDash didn’t hire machine-learning experts, Liu explained. Instead, it relied on its existing three-person growth team. “Our engineers were passionate about it,” he said. “It came from learning and experimentation, seeing what works and what doesn’t work. We’re happy to get results.”
Liu said the recommendations are just the first step toward improving interactions with customers using machine learning. Going forward, Liu said, DoorDash is likely to ask new customers up front what their favorite cuisine is, in order to start implementing recommendations more quickly.
DoorDash also today announced a new “star ratings” feature for providing feedback on both food and delivery, and a way to offer more granular restaurant ratings.
This reflects an evolution from last year, when DoorDash talked down the star-rating system Yelp uses.
Along with photos and logos, DoorDash found that ratings are another key signal that helps customers with their decision making.
Finally, DoorDash is offering a new Live Map feature to follow your DoorDash driver’s progress en route. The real-time pin of the Dasher’s GPS location is shown in the order status tab, and expands on the status updates DoorDash already offered.
DoorDash also recently signed new deals with Jack in the Box and BevMo. The latter expands the alcohol delivery service DoorDash launched last year.

text: Recent studies have documented grief and depressive reactions in women after a miscarriage. However, the men's reactions to their partner's experience have been neglected. In a controlled follow-up study, 56 couples were studied shortly after the miscarriage, and 6 (N = 47) and 12 months later (N = 45). The participants completed standardized questionnaires for depression, physical complaints, anxiety, and grief. Contrary to commonly held beliefs, men do grieve, but less intensely and enduringly than their partners. The manner in which they experience their grief is similar to that of the women, except that the men cry less and feel less need to talk about it. Unlike the women they do not react with an increased depressive reaction (compared to age- and sex-matched community control groups). Giving up their personal expectations, hopes for, and fantasies about the unborn child is a major source of grieving for both. Some men feel burdened by their wives' grief or depressive reactions. Conflicting reactions may affect the couples' interactions and promote depressive reactions in the women.

painted this the other day to hang on our bedroom wall. it's the lyrics to "God Blessed the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. i would have used the lyrics from our first dance at our wedding (Dontchange by Musiq Soulchild) but honestly, our reception is a blur to me and doesn't bring back the best memories.
this song suits us better anyways.
i believe everyone has a little or some kind of brokenness (from their childhood and/or past) and you know you've found the 'right one' when that brokenness finally starts to heal. being with that 'right person' is healing. or maybe it's not a brokenness but a void that they help you fill or a weakness of yours that they compensate for. of course, compensate for you in a good way which eventually helps turn your weakness into a strength.
looking back i see the subsequent of events (or signs) that led me to him. and despite things that happened in my life, good or bad, i was still led to that 'right person'. now looking at the big picture through spiritual eyes, i see why i needed him and why he needed me.
or maybe i'm just talking nonesense and making no sense at all.
but to me -it all makes perfect sense.

We have some gaps to fill in Europe’s longest, oldest green wall…and we need your help!
I took some cuttings of Japanese spindle today and I hope they take so we can replant the gaps in the wall at Duke’s Mound.
If you can help Building Green by taking some cuttings and growing them on for us, please get in touch!
We need to plant up gaps in the wall like this.
Tucked away on the resources section of the Building Green website is a broken link that tells the story of how this group came about.
London Ecology Unit published a highly influential book in 1993 called ‘Building Green – A guide to using plants on roofs, walls and pavements’. It was a prescient tome – heralding techniques and approaches from across Europe and the world that came established only years later in the UK, Building Green was a systemic, ecological approach to urban nature. It became the name of our community group.
When at the Greater London Authority, I created an electronic version of the out of print manuscript – the broken link referred to. Well, here it is in all its free, downloadable glory. Go crazy.

In particular note the appendices which list plants for different locations – walls of different aspects, balconies, roofs etc. Check it out, it’s great – all credit to the originators Jacklyn Johnston and John Newton.

Call it what you want: vegetation frustration, a plant-based protest, or a sinkhole salad; but a tomato garden growing in a large concrete cavity in the middle of the road at Poplar Plains Crescent is getting a lot of attention.
And residents say it’s about time.
“The sinkhole has been here for many months,” said Samantha Steeves, who lives along the same street.
“The city has kind of neglected it and now someone has taken advantage and did something good with it.”
People who live in the area said the sinkhole has been plaguing residents since late last year when it was just a small pothole. Residents said City of Toronto staff visited the area to assess the hole and told them it was caused by a water-main break.
With only enough room left for one car to pass through at a time, the sinkhole has also become an issue for pedestrians.
“It’s hard because you have to walk all the way around and then you’re walking into traffic,” said neighborhood resident Taylor Peterson.
Then, all of a sudden, people started noticing a different kind of greenery growing in the pothole and it didn’t look like weeds.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the tomatoes, which is pretty impressive,” said Mousseau.
“They’ve got to the point where the steel wiring is necessary now which is pretty funny.”
Garden wire encompasses a few of the smaller tomatoes while a couple of the vegetables are almost fully grown. Cherry tomatoes also are growing in abundance in what has now unofficially become dubbed the ‘sinkhole garden.’
“I think the community is really embracing our sinkhole,” said Mousseau.
“It’s like a real garden. Someone is really investing their time in this, like ‘it’s going to stay, so I have to make it pretty.'”
But others are hoping the vegetation will draw the attention of the City of Toronto. City workers were already spotted putting up yellow tape and construction barrels around the sinkhole, residents said.
In a statement to Global News the City of Toronto said they first investigated the hole as a water-main break.
“The City first investigated a possible water-main break at this location and determined there was no evidence of a leak,” the statement said.
There was no sinkhole at the time and the area that was excavated was back-filled with stone pending further investigation. The sinkhole has developed since the original investigation. Toronto Staff will return to this site to investigate the case further and prepare for temporary restoration if appropriate,” it continued.
The City didn’t specify when it would return to the site to investigate further or when it would attempt to fix the issue.
But now, some residents have grown attached to the garden and are hoping crews hold off before filling in the hole.
“They’re just starting to flourish,” added Mousseau.
“I’ll have to pick the tomatoes when they’re good and see if anyone will spot me.”

If you have wondered the difference between prune juice and plum juice, today is the day to differentiate them. These two juices confuse a lot of people since they look the same and made from the same fruit. In this article, I’ll compare prune juice vs plum juice for a clear difference.
The main difference between prune juice and plum juice is the way the juice is made.
Prune juice is made from plums that are dried naturally — a prune is generally a dried plum. On the other hand, the plum juice is extracted from fresh plums. The difference in preparation method brings out the different tastes, concentration, health benefits among others.
Prune Juice vs Plum Juice
There are many types of plum in the same genus Prunus but not all plums can be prunes.
You can find plums in two major varieties of either freestone or clingstone. The freestone is the one whereby most prunes come from and their pits are easier to remove.
Clingstone varieties are great for fresh eating but the pits are harder to remove than the freestone varieties.
When juicing, the pits have to be removed before or you can opt to buy pitted prunes at the store.
Plums have different colors that range from red to light purple. Prunes become dark blue or purple when ripe.
How Is Prune Juice Made
As I mentioned, prune juice id made from dried plums and juicing dry ingredients is not possible unless other methods are involved.
The dried plums are hydrated by using boiling water to help it fall apart and then extracted using a centrifugal process or masticating process. Once all the juice is extracted, it is filtered to reduce the concentrate.
Prune Juice vs Plum Juice: Comparison & The Differences
Due to the different methods of preparation, prune juice tastes different than plum juice. The prune juice has a sweeter taste than plums. Plum juice has a tangy-sweet taste and natural sugar content like other fresh fruit juices.
If the taste of either prune juice or plum juice doesn’t feel good, you can alter the taste by adding sweeteners or other ingredients to suit your taste.
Prune juice has a heavier texture than plum juice that has a lighter texture. The higher fiber content in prune juice makes the juice thicker hence the texture.
Plum juice is made of fresh plums that contain lots of nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins. The process of making prune juice destroys some of the vitamins like C and concentrate the other nutrients into a dense pact.
Plum juice is full of vitamins A, C, K, and B as well as riboflavin, potassium, iron, calcium, and thiamine.
Prune Juice has a high concentration of Vitamin A and K as well as potassium and iron. It is rich in dietary fiber which helps in the digestive process.
Plum juice contains higher sugar levels than prune juice despite the sweetness it has. The natural sugar levels are good for the body but if they are added, then it’s not great especially for weight loss.
The real sugar difference is that prune juice has about 42g of sugars, whereas the same amount of plum juice has about 30g sugars.
So they are close but plum juice is the winner here to save calories or if you need a lower-sugar diet. Since prune juice is already higher in sugars, make sure you’re also choosing a no-sugar-added prune juice.
The high concentration of nutrients in prune juice also offers high amounts of antioxidants — even 6 times more than fresh plum juice. Antioxidants are great for keeping the body healthy.
Consuming both prune juice and plum juice contributes to overall health. For instance, plum juice has plenty of vitamin C that is beneficial for healing the body, good for the bones and skin among other benefits.
Prune juice has a good amount of calcium which is a great addition to bone health and also reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
The health benefits are not that different but the level of vitamins and minerals contribute to the difference in health benefits.
Juicing your own plum or prune juice gives you full control to obtain natural and healthy juice without added sugar.
Vitamin K, A, and minerals like potassium, iron are very beneficial to the body.
Boosts Digestive Health
Prune juice is great for digestion as it can relieve someone from constipation problems. The high fiber content in prune juice is good for the digestive system.
This fiber benefit helps lower the risk of colon cancer and bowel syndromes.
Plum juice contains fiber but not the same as the dried one and can be also good for the digestive process. Both juices have the laxative sorbitol essential for a smooth digestion process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can you buy plum juice?
You can plum and prune juice in many places like health food stores and supermarkets. An online retailer like Amazon has a variety of plum juice with great reviews from consumers.
What is plum juice good for?
Plum juice and prune juice are good for many health benefits due to their rich vitamins and mineral content. They can reduce cholesterol levels since they have good HDL cholesterol levels.

- The proponent still does not have all the approvals needed to construct their proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls.
- There are major issues of public safety still unaddressed.
Our Fall 2016 update
Read it here.
Ontario announces it has enough power generation
On September 27, 2016 the Ontario Liberal government announced that as Ontario has an adequate electricity supply for the next ten years, they were cancelling the planned procurement of additional renewable power generation – saving Ontarians $3.8 billion. Minister of Energy Glenn Thibeault said it only makes sense to “make common sense adjustments”. View the video of the announcement here and press release here.
While this announcement would not directly affect the proposed project to build a hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls, it does show the government now accepts and admits that new electricity generation based on renewable energy is too expensive and will not be needed for the foreseeable future.
For the proposed Bala generating station, we have shown the unaddressed public safety concerns (some here). If the proponent continues to refuse to show how or if they could operate their proposed Bala generating station safely, we request the governent not provide any further approvals, as this proposed project can be cancelled without cost or penalty.
Ontario announces electrical power trading agreement with Québec
Earlier this month, the Ontario government announced an agreement with the province of Québec which includes Ontario purchasing 14 TW•h (that is 14 million megawatt-hours) of hydro-electricity over a seven-year period. As the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls would produce up to 20 GW•h of electrical power per year, this agreement will provide Ontario with one hundred times the power that would be produced by the proposed Bala generating station.
The Montréal La Presse newspaper (translated here) reports that for this agreement, Ontario would pay 5 ¢/kW•h, which is less than half the 13 ¢/kW•h to 17 ¢/kW•h which Ontario would be paying the Bala proponent for the heavily-subsidized power their proposed generating station would produce – even when it is not needed.
Highway bridge rehabilitation work
If you drive through Bala you’ll see that the rehabilitation work has begun on the District Municipality of Muskoka’s two Muskoka Road 169 bridges (over the Bala north channel and Bala south channel). This work; is unrelated to the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls, is expected to be completed in the spring, and must be completed before the proponent could begin any of their planned work. The District’s Road Closures, Construction and Restrictions web page has this report on the contract.
Proposed wind turbines near Collingwood
For over six years, a company has been pursuing the construction of eight 476′-high wind turbines near Collingwood. Among the concerns expressed by the community are that serious harm to human health would result as these wind turbines (each taller than a 45-storey building) would be located too close to two nearby aerodromes, the dangers being due to both direct aircraft impact and due to the air tubulance caused by these proposed wind turbines. (Aerodromes have fewer staff and facilities, and are typically used by smaller airplanes than traditional airports.)
Despite years of detailed concern and opposition from the community, in February 2016 the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change approved this controversial proposed project. As a result, a local property owner, a local Councillor who also owns one of the aerodromes, the Town of Collingwood, the Township of Clearview, and the County of Simcoe all appealed the MOECC’s approval to Ontario’s Environmental Review Tribunal.
A total of 15 experts testified at the nine-day hearing which was during May and June of this year. Earlier this month the Tribunal released their decision that the appellants had met the high test required to show that serious harm would occur.
This is a very significant finding, that the MOECC’s approval did not adequately consider dangers to the public. The Tribunal is allowing further submissions on how these dangers would be addressed, and the company has stated it is now considering their next steps.
- In less than two weeks, it will be a full year since the proponent has updated their web site (and that update removed most of the information they previously had posted).
- It has been eight years since the proponent has held a public meeting.
- The proponent has been pursuing this proposed project for more than 11 years.
This is a floundering proposed project that finally needs to be put out of its misery.
Thank you volunteers
SaveTheBalaFalls.com volunteers were out in Bala all day both on the Thankgiving weekend and the Cranberry festival weekend talking to the public, answering questions, and providing information. There were thousands of visitors to Bala, and we heard loud and clear, again and again, that; NO ONE likes Kathleen Wynne, NO ONE wants a hydro plant in Bala, NO ONE likes Hydro One bills, and NO ONE trusts politicians – people are informed and upset. Conversely, we now know; EVERYONE loves Don’s Bakery brownies, EVERYONE appreciates SaveTheBalaFalls.com’s efforts on all fronts, and EVERYONE says they want to help.
One of our volunteers summed it up: “People are VERY pissed at this government! – It isn’t right, we don’t need the energy, we don’t want the high energy prices and we don’t want the Government’s blindness to hurt Bala with that Hydro Plant. “
Our volunteers found it very compelling and confirming to work the front lines and hear first-hand the opinions that really do matter. It was busy, and we’ll keep at it.
Donations to support our work
As the end of the (tax) year approaches, keep in mind that you can make tax-deductible donations to help us continue to work to ensure the government realizes and addresses the extreme dangers which the construction of the proposed Bala generating station would create. Your receipt for income tax purposes is provided immediately when your donation is made on-line, details are here.

ISO 18554:2016 Предпросмотр
Surface chemical analysis -- Electron spectroscopies -- Procedures for identifying, estimating and correcting for unintended degradation by X-rays in a material undergoing analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
недоступно на русском языке
ISO 18554:2016 provides a simple procedure for identifying, estimating and correcting for unintended degradation in the elemental composition or chemical state of a material which occurs as a result of X-radiation during the time that a specimen material is exposed to the X-rays used in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
ISO 18554:2016 does not address comparisons between different types of material nor does it address the mechanisms, depth, or chemical nature of the degradation that occurs. The correction procedure proposed is only valid if the changes are caused by the X-rays and result in less than a 30 % reduction or increase in intensity of a chosen photoelectron peak from the sample material.

First Focal Plane v. Second Focal Plane ⚔
📍 The first focal plane (FFP) and the second focal plane (SFP) are two types of reticle placement options for rifle scopes. Here are the differences between the two:
|✔ In a first focal plane scope, the reticle is located in front of the erector lenses, which means that the reticle appears to change size along with the image as you adjust the magnification. This means that the reticle remains proportionate to the target, no matter the magnification level. This makes it easier to make long-range shots with accurate holdovers, as the reticle markings remain consistent with the target size at any magnification.||✔ In a second focal plane scope, the reticle is located behind the erector lenses, which means that the reticle appears to stay the same size, no matter the magnification level. This means that the size of the reticle remains constant, while the target image gets larger or smaller with changing magnification. This can make holdovers more challenging, as the reticle markings do not remain consistent with the target size at different magnification levels.|
📢 In general, the choice between an FFP or SFP scope depends on the intended use:
- ⚫ FFP scopes are generally preferred for long-range shooting or hunting, where the ability to make accurate holdovers is crucial.
- ⚫ SFP scopes are often used for hunting or short to mid-range shooting, where the target size is typically known, and the reticle does not need to be adjusted as frequently.
🎥 Watch the video to see the difference:

Based on my personal experience, I have used two Vortex Scopes – the 2.5-10 PST and the 4-16 PST FFP, and I did not encounter any issues with either of them. I am highly satisfied with their performance, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends or even strangers online.
Throughout my life, I have exclusively used Leupold scopes and have been generally satisfied with their performance. However, there was one instance where I had trouble maintaining zero on a .50 Beowulf, which I want to replace with something else. Vortex has gained immense popularity in the market. I am wondering if this is merely hype or if Vortex scopes are truly on par with or even superior to Leupold in terms of quality.
In my opinion, Vortex provides great value for the price. As some others have noted, the quality can differ across their product lines, but generally speaking, you can expect to receive what you paid for.
Over time, I have gradually swapped out most of my optics with Vortex products. The combination of their impressive quality, exceptional value, and diverse range of product lines consistently draws me back to them.
One of Vortex’s standout features is their incredible warranty, which speaks to their confidence in their products. In terms of price-to-quality ratio, Vortex generally hits the sweet spot.
That said, Vortex frequently offers the best value in the market, and its products often represent the highest quality option within a given price range, especially if you can find a good deal.
I recently used my Vortex 4-16×50 FFP EBR 1 Mrad scope on my Savage .308 rifle at Woody’s, and it performed exceptionally well. I was impressed with how accurately the Mrads in the scope correlated with the Hornady ballistic software.
I am so satisfied with the performance of this scope that I am now considering purchasing another for my AR15 rifle. The lifetime warranty, along with the transferable ownership warranty, is an excellent feature.
Throughout my experience with various scopes, I have used products from Bushnell, Burris, and Vortex. Out of these brands, I have had the fewest issues with Vortex optics, which have been highly reliable for me.
What types of reticles do Vortex Scopes offer?
🔔 Vortex Optics offers a variety of reticles in their scopes, including:
🔸 Duplex: The most basic reticle, with thin crosshairs in the center and thicker bars on the outer edges.
🔸 Dead-Hold BDC: A reticle with hash marks that allow for bullet drop compensation at various distances.
🔸 V-Brite: A reticle with a red dot in the center for quick target acquisition, and a duplex crosshair for precise aiming.
🔸 V-Plex: A variation of the duplex reticle with thicker posts at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions.
🔸 EBR (Enhanced Battle Reticle): A reticle designed for long-range shooting, with a grid pattern that allows for precise holdover and windage adjustments.
🔸 MOA: A reticle with hash marks that allow for Minute of Angle (MOA) adjustments for windage and elevation.
🔸 Illuminated Reticles: Several of Vortex’s reticles are illuminated, with adjustable brightness levels for low-light shooting conditions.
🔸 Christmas Tree: A reticle with vertical and horizontal hash marks, resembling a Christmas tree. Used for long-range shooting and ranging targets.
From my own personal experience, I have used a Vortex Razor 5-20 scope during multiple deployments, as well as a Razor 1-6 on an MK17. These scopes proved to be so reliable and effective that we outfitted all of our long gun personnel with them on our most recent overseas mission. I have also mounted my original Razor scope onto three separate 300wm rifles, multiple .50 caliber guns, as well as my own personal firearms, and it has performed flawlessly. Overall, my experience with Vortex’s Razor scopes has been nothing short of excellent.
I am a proud owner of four of their products. A few years ago, while using my Razor binoculars in a blind, I accidentally dropped them, causing both eyepieces to break. When I contacted Vortex to purchase replacements, they went above and beyond my expectations by offering to send me new ones free of charge – they even covered the cost of shipping! I was blown away, especially considering the accident was my fault.
I have a Vortex Diamondback 4-12×40 on my hunting rifle and it has served me well. I’m looking for a similar scope for my son’s rifle, any suggestions?
👏 It’s great that you’ve had a good experience with your Vortex Diamondback!
🔫 For a similar scope option for your son’s rifle, you might want to consider the Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×40. It’s also a great value for the price and has a similar magnification range and objective size.
Speaking from my own personal experience, I can vouch for the quality and durability of these optics. Despite my admittedly rough treatment of my equipment, all three of my Vortex optics have held up without issue. I can confidently say that I have not experienced any failures or malfunctions with them.
I am their loyal customer and have equipped all five of my rifles with their optics. Whenever I’m in the market for new optics, Vortex is always the first brand that comes to mind.
Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend Vortex optics. I have a PST Viper 6-24 SFP, and it has performed flawlessly without any issues. The scope tracks precisely and I have never had difficulty hitting my target. I am a big fan of Vortex and will continue to recommend their products.

Cornwall councillors have been urged to highlight buildings which are falling into disrepair and could be brought back to life by the authority.
Council leader Adam Paynter made the call as the council agreed to fund the purchase and renovation of former Indian restaurant The Ganges in Penzance.
The Grade II-listed building in Chapel Street in Penzance was formerly a restaurant with accommodation above. But it has been left in a poor state of disrepair and there has been a campaign for many years to save The Ganges.
However there had been a battle to get ownership of the building as it is owned by several different parties.
Cornwall Council's Cabinet had recommended to full council that it fund the purchase of the building and renovation work to bring it back into use and yesterday the council approved the plans.
Under the scheme the council is aiming to bid for funding from Historic England and the Heritage Lottery Fund to pay for the works.
The council says the building could be renovated so it can be used for residential accommodation, workspace or a mixture of both.
Bob Egerton, Cabinet member for planning and economy, said: "We are hopeful that we can recover most of the cost of the renovations from Historic England and the Heritage Lottery Fund."
Council leader Adam Paynter said: "This is a new intervention and I think it is something that we should be doing more of.
"I ask members that if they have any properties like this in their areas then let us know."
He said that any suggestions would be placed on a list that the council can consider whether it can help to get involved and bring buildings back into use.
He added: "I hope that this is the first of many that we bring back into use."
But Cllr Egerton warned councillors that there are not "unlimited funds" available for such projects and added that The Ganges project was being done because it can be completed with no cost implications for the council.
The council agreed to the recommendation to increase the capital programme for the project's costs.
Details of the cost of the project have been kept confidential for commercial reasons.


The Grading Multiple Choice Tests System via Mobile Phone using Image Processing Technique ARTICLE
iJET Volume 13, Number 10, ISSN 1863-0383 Publisher: International Association of Online Engineering, Kassel, Germany
Grading devices are expensive causing budget waste, in addition some are difficult to use. Therefore, an objective test grading system via Android mobile phone was developed to save cost and time in grading. The system uses image processing technique developed by Java. A camera on a mobile phone was used to capture the edge of answers and an equation of geometric simulation of digital camera sensor was applied to identify answers selected from calculation of pixel intensity in real time. The objective test grading system via Android mobile phone can work effectively and accurately more than 95%.

Open Mic at Oppenheimer Cafe showcases student creativity
The sun was just starting to set when the music began. It was a Friday night and a crowd of students had gathered at Oppenheimer Cafe for the Open Mic night. The 15 acts consisted of 14 musical performances and one poetry reading, featuring both on-campus and off-campus artists, with Anand Landon, who organized the event, serving as emcee.
The opening act featured local Tacoma musician Nick Rogers, also known as Big Sky Mind, who performed an original song with guitar and vocals titled “Back Around.” The performance set the mood for the evening with its serene yet moving sound.
The second act saw Sanjay Singh ’19 perform a peaceful yet groovy tune on his guitar. The rest of the performances were done by University of Puget Sound students.
Anna Graf was up next. For her big open mic debut, she performed a cover of the song “The One,” by Wild Child. Similarly, the fourth act, Alex Guzman, performed a piece on his guitar. Lenora Yee, the fifth performer, broke from the lighthearted, tranquil mood with her melancholy and moving original, “Bird Song,” showcasing her ukulele and vocal skills.
Up next were Kerry Miller on guitar and Sahiti Shankar on vocals. The two performed a love song, titled “Ultraviolet,” which was written by Shankar. The song broke the pensive spell Yee had cast on the audience with its warm and comforting tones.
After the duet, Miller performed a short but sweet Alt-J cover on guitar. The following performance saw a duet performed by Allison Shapiro on vocals and Micah Hirsch on vocals and guitar. The duo showcased their musical abilities with a cover of “Cherry Wine” by Hozier.
Nobody was ready for what came next. Christian Wiemer ’19 exhibited his extraordinary vocal and banjo strumming talents with a rendition of “Dead Man’s Dance” by Bradford Loomis. Wiemer was introduced by Landon as a “powerhouse on vocals and banjo,” and he did not fail to deliver. The song started out slow and mellow, but in the last half exploded into a vibrant, lively tune. The energetic vibe of the performance was a nice break from the slower, calmer atmospheres created by the previous acts.
“I just love music. I discovered it when I was 10 or 11. I just started playing the piano at home, figuring out songs by ear. I just really enjoyed it and I got a lot of gratification out of it. I just love it,” Wiemer said.
The 10th performance featured a cover of “Archers” by With Confidence performed by Serena McKibben ’22, and the 11th act consisted of a reading of two poems by Asha Berkes ’21.
The second poem was an original, titled “Spring” and ended with the iconic line, “Everything’s gonna be ok, bitch.” The two performances brought back the languid and dreamy atmosphere that the previous performances had created and that Wiemer’s explosive performance had shattered.
Following Berkes was Hirsch on vocals and guitar, performing a sweet love song he had written titled “Dirty Shoes and Funerals.”
The 13th act was Jacqueline Kaplan’s impromptu a capella performance of “Beautiful Girl” by Sara Bareilles, and the second-to-last performance was another impromptu performance by an audience member of an original song on guitar.
Last but not least was Landon, who played an impressive cover of “Message in a Bottle” by the Police with some added improvisational guitar riffs. The hot take on the classic throwback finished off the night on an energized note.
“People just showed up on their own accord, which was great. Most of the faces I’ve seen here I didn’t even see in the Facebook events and they just showed up,” Landon said. “This venue is awesome. The first guy who performed, his parents came up to me to compliment the venue because it’s like you’re in a snow globe, it’s awesome. I’d be down to have every other month at a different venue, so one month is Divs, one month is Opp. That’d be pretty dope.”
In the crowd was a fair amount of current University of Puget Sound students as well as prospective students visiting the campus.
“I was hosting some prospective students and it sounded like a fun time so I thought I’d bring them along,” Jonathan Vair ’22 said. “I’d come watch again; I thought it was fun. I really enjoyed the variety of all the different acts.”
Landon is hoping to make the open mic nights a monthly occurrence, so stay on the lookout for future events.

Dungeness - 0800hrs - mild, showery, sw 3 - We slogged across the shingle from the lifeboat station to the Obs and back via the Desert, where a flushed Short-eared Owl was the only bird of note. Overhead passage was negligible with just a few finches and Mipits on the move. Grounded migrants were absent.
Lade - 1000hrs - The Osprey, which has been hereabouts for at least a week, was sat on the wall mirror with a flock of Magpies. The Osprey was also noted at several other sites across the peninsula today, including the bay where it was seen to take a flatfish.

Cigarettes are bad but sometimes the songs about them are good. A paradox, I know, but listen ...
"Smokin in the Boy's Room" by Brownsville Station ... a hilarious, wonderful song from 1973, not the silly Motley Crue version. "Teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules!"
This is a great rock and roll record by an Australian girl group named the Spazzys. "We'll have something to do to pass the time while we wait for the time to pass"
Merle Travis wrote this one; Tex Williams recorded it.
"Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate that you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette"

- KC Joyner, NFL Insider
The theme for today's Pass Plays article is second chances. Just about every player on this list has been a viable fantasy waiver prospect for multiple weeks now, and yet their ownership numbers are still well below what their point totals should indicate. A likely explanation is that owners remain concerned that some of these guys might have been one-week wonders, but they have proved by now that isn't the case.
KC Joyner takes a look at passers and receivers who are still widely available in ESPN leagues and argues that fantasy football owners should pick them up while they still have the chance. Among the picks? The red-hot Kyle Orton and Sam Bradford.

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality issued an air quality alert on Sunday for every county in the state because of high levels of smoke from wildfires in northwest Montana, Washington, British Columbia and Idaho effective until 8 a.m. Monday.
Air quality staff at the DEQ can't recall a time when all 56 Montana counties have been impacted by smoke at the same time.
Although Sunday’s conditions might have some Missoulians reflecting on last year’s smoke that hung around for weeks, Luke Robinson, a meteorologist with the Missoula office of the National Weather Service said this should be the worst for the rest of the summer, barring more intense wildfires.
A cold front moving east brought smoke from British Columbia through Missoula on Sunday morning, Robinson said. Luckily, he said the forecast showed the smoke could move out as early as Sunday afternoon with winds blowing some of the smoke out of the valley.
Without more smoke in the forecast, air quality should improve from unhealthy to moderate, Robinson said.
This isn’t the end of smoke in Missoula. Much of the smoke we see day to day comes from Washington, east of the Cascades.
On Sunday, Eastern Washington University postponed a soccer match due to poor air quality in Cheney.
Missoula’s air quality is also largely impacted by fires burning in northwest Montana.
The Howe Ridge fire, burning in Glacier National Park, has grown from 4,000 acres on Friday to 7,835 acres Sunday morning. Robinson said it's difficult to tell the impact of the smoke from that fire in Missoula, but said to keep an eye on fires a little farther west, where wind could bring the smoke southeast to Missoula.
Missoula is forecast to experience more of the cold front on Monday with a high of 69 degrees and a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. On Tuesday, temperatures are expected to be closer to average with a high of 79 degrees and widespread haze.
Even with poor air quality in Missoula County and the mountains blanketed in smoke, Missoulians appeared rather unfazed by the smoke with bikers and joggers filling up the trails along the Clark Fork River on Sunday morning.
“It’s a bummer,” said Bozeman native Kala Lundgren, who regularly visits Missoula in the late summer.
But the smoke has only had small affect on her weekend plans. After a shorter hike in Pattee Canyon with her boyfriend, Jeff Mann, they decided to stay indoors, out of the smoke, a little more than usual.
Staying indoors, especially for those with heart or lung disease, asthma, smokers, children and the elderly, might be a good idea. Benjamin Schmidt, an air quality specialist with the Missoula City-County Health Department, wrote in an email that those sensitive to the smoke should limit heavy exertion and time spent outdoors.
“If this is the worst, I’ll take it,” Lundgren said, as Mann and their friend Abby Cutting-Smith nodded in agreement.
Lundgren can remember many summers when the smoke has been much worse in Missoula. Last year, she recalled having difficulty seeing across the street during one of her visits.
“As I always say, I can tolerate it as long as I can see the mountains,” Lundgren said.

The Limbe Second Grade Magistrate’s Court has given a suspended sentence to Harmony Private Primary School director who was convicted of misappropriating K169 000 meant for students’ Primary School Leaving Certificate (PSLC) examination fees last year.
While learners were preparing for examinations, it was discovered that Alfred Kapito, 45, did not pay the money to the Malawi National Examinations Board (Maneb).
He has been handed the non-custodial sentence on condition that he will teach at the school free of charge for a year.
Speaking in an interview, Limbe Police Station spokesperson Widson Nhlane said Kapito has paid back the money but has been ordered to pay for 2019 PSLC students’ identity cards. He said if the convict violates the court’s conditions, parents should report him to the court or police.
Kapito comes from John Village in Traditional Authority Kadewere in Chiradzulu District.
