Still not much in the way of news (I guess it's officially summer), so let's scan over a few stories around the Big Blue Nation:
- Nick Fierro, a Morning Call Sports Reporter and Philadelphia Eagles insider, reports that former UK cornerback Trevard Lindley has a realistic shot of starting at cornerback for the Eagles as a rookie.
"Lindley has displayed that same kind of recovery speed at cornerback and was able to consistently make plays on passes as a result. Don't be surprised if he's in the mix to start at right cornerback by September. He'll have to pass Ellis Hobbs and Joselio Hanson on the depth chart. But Hobbs, regardless of what the Eagles say, still has to prove he's not damaged goods after that serious neck injury that landed him on injured reserve last season and basically kept him out of all team drills this spring. And Hanson, though way more savvy at this point, doesn't possess as much natural ability."
- Speaking of former football players, UK great Andre Woodson is competing for a starting quarterback job in the UFL, according to the New Enterprise.
- Cliff Brunt from the Associated Press has a great story on Patrick Patterson as he tries to impress the Indiana Pacers, who have the 10th pick in the NBA Draft. Brunt points to Patterson's academic success as a reason to believe in Patterson's work ethic.
"Any NBA team with questions about Patrick Patterson's work ethic should check his academic record. While he was a basketball star at Kentucky, Patterson was completing class work at an accelerated pace. Most players who leave school early put graduation on hold, but Patterson took just three years to get his degree in communication and leadership development."
- Perennial All-Star and a likely future Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd spoke highly of former UK guard John Wall on a teleconference Monday. Jerry Tipton from the Lexington Herald-Leader has the scoop.
"He's a talent," Kidd said of Wall. "A lot of these guys can play above the rim now. He has the athletic ability. He can set up open guys. He can score. So I think the future is very bright. ... He will shine at the next level as long as he keeps working hard."
- Despite a valiant comeback in the ninth inning, the Alabama baseball team fell short of a College World Series bid with Monday's loss to Clemson. That finalizes this year's CWS, which will start Saturday, with eight teams bidding for the national championship. The Southeastern Conference has two teams, Florida and South Carolina, representing the league.

The role of distance education is shifting. Traditionally distance education was limited in the number of people served because of production, reproduction, and distribution costs.
Today, while it still costs the university time and money to produce a course, technology has made it such that reproduction costs are almost non-existent. This shift has significant implications, and allows distance educators to play an important role in the fulfillment of the promise of the right to universal education.
At little or no cost, universities can make their content available to millions. This content has the potential to substantially improve the quality of life of learners around the world.
New distance education technologies, such as OpenCourseWares, act as enablers to achieving the universal right to education. These technologies, and the associated changes in the cost of providing access to education, change distance education’s role from one of classroom alternative to one of social transformer. The role of distance education is changing. Traditionally distance education was limited in the number of people served because of production, reproduction, distribution, and communication costs.
In the past, schools spent resources to produce a course, and then spent additional resources to reproduce the course, and send it to students. While it still costs a university time and money to produce a course, technology has made reproduction and distribution costs almost non-existent. A course can be sent electronically, or placed online, and any number of students can access the material.
This marked decrease in costs has significant implications and allows distance educators to play an important role in the fulfillment of the promise of the right to universal education. At relatively little additional cost, universities can make their content available to millions.
Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that everyone has the right to education, and that “technical and professional education shall be made generally available United Nations, Currently, over 2, open access courses are freely available from over universities worldwide. And additional higher education institutions are launching OpenCourseWare-style projects regularly.
New distance education technologies, legal practices, and philosophies, such as OpenCourseWares, act as enablers to achieving the universal right to education. The Open Educational Resources OER movement is a technology- empowered effort to create and share educational content on a global level.
General | OpenCourseWare
This paper will explore these kinds of endeavors, and how they can move distance education’s role from one of classroom alternative to one of social transformer. Vest announced that the MIT would make the materials for nearly all its courses freely available jufnal the Internet over the jufnal ten years. First, to provide free access to virtually all MIT course materials for educators, students, and individual learners around the world. The purpose of this project was to build Unix-compatible software and share it freely with anyone.
His plan called for community contributions in the form of programming support, hardware, and even money to hire programmers. This open, community approach became increasingly prevalent with software developers. InDavid Wiley announced the first open content license. This license was based on the premise that opencouraeware content should be freely developed and shared “in a spirit similar to that of free and open software” Wiley, The idea that content should be free and openly available became popular quickly.
InCreative Commons released their first set of copyright licenses that helped content producers license their content for reuse Creative Commons, a. By the time MIT went live with 50 courses in a pilot version of OpenCourseWare in MIT, openckurseware, Wikipedia had been running for a year, the Internet Archive had been up oppencourseware running for seven years, and Project Gutenberg had over twenty years of public domain, community-contributed content in its library Wikipedia, a. These and other projects became core to the Open Educational Resources movement.
The purpose of the Open Educational Resources movement is to provide open access to high quality digital educational materials. There is broad participation by universities, private organizations, and others. Projects include the Internet Junal see http: The list of participating organizations grows every year as the principles of openness spread.
OpenCourseWare is one way that distance education can support equal access to education. Their charge was to provide the university with guidance regarding how MIT should position itself opencoursewaer the budding online distance education environment.
At the time of the dot. They recommended freely and openly sharing the materials used to teach courses at MIT.
In launching this visionary initiative, MIT set the stage to enable universities and organizations to extend the reach and opportunities afforded by teaching and learning to the world at large. Through OCW projects, universities can share and contribute their knowledge and opencoursseware in an open and easily accessible manner. As of Novemberover higher education institutions and affiliated organizations who have committed to begin an OCW website and openly share 10 courses.
The 10 course commitment is a requirement to be able to join the OpenCourseWare Consortium, an organization established to assist the OCW movement. Currently, there are over member institutions and associated organizations around the world see Figure 1.
There are currently 28 universities with live sites OCW Consortium, This event “marked the publication of core teaching materials including syllabi, lecture notes, assignments and exams from virtually all MIT courses, 1, in total.
Other schools’ open educational resource initiatives are seeing a large opecnourseware of traffic. The Open University of the United Kingdom’s “Open Content Initiative” has been online for just over a year and has had over one million visitors come to their site.
Governments now help with the funding of OCW projects. OpenCourseWare reaches more learners. These materials can be accessed by rural farmers in Azerbaijan looking for a better way to get water to their crops.
The Open University of the Netherlands has shared a opencourseqare on computer science designed for self-paced learning that can be used by a self-taught network administrator in Malaysia. There are many institutions and businesses, and even individuals, creating OCW content. Another is the Connexions project at Rice University, which posts educational content online, though not always in course format. At least one business has entered the OCW arena by providing training and other educational materials under a Creative Commons license.
Through its “Novell OpenCourseWare” site, Novell has published documentation, a knowledge base, and training materials see Figure 2.
The production of open educational resources goes beyond even the organizations that create the materials. There are thousands of producers involved in the open education movement, though many of them do it without realizing it. Every time material is created and licensed under a Creative Commons see http: These images were originally taken for some other purpose, but because the creator opnecourseware a Creative Commons license, they were easily and legally re-used on an OpenCourseWare site.
Project Gutenberg, a collection of over 20, public domain books, is another example of how open educational resources can be re-purposed for opencoursewarre.
Megatron ITB – under construction
Two public domain plays from the readings section of the Utah State University OCW Theater Arts course have been made available in their entirety in this way.
Creative Commons and other open licenses allow material the potential to be readily re-used in an OpenCourseWare course or other educational product. In most cases, the only restrictions are that the original producer be given attribution, that the work may not be used for commercial purposes, and that adaptations of the work be shared with the community.
Materials in OCW collections are not only freely available, but their reuse and adaptation is encouraged. Many of these resources are licensed under a Creative Commons license allowing for distribution, remix, and reuse of materials. The Open University of the UK see http: And the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning see http: The materials produced for OpenCourseWare collections are meant to be used and re-used by self-learners, students, and faculty alike.
Providing these self-learners, students, and faculty with OpenCourseWare materials from a university is not as difficult as it might seem. It starts with a conversation about OpenCourseWare that includes administrators and key faculty. Finding faculty who are willing to share their course materials is crucial.
February – 2008
Once they have identified one or two courses they are willing to share in an open access format, the process can begin. Even a small group of enthusiastic faculty and administrators can provide a strong starting point. They can help build support for OCW and give it a greater chance for success. Once key faculty are willing to share their content have been identified, a logical next step is to set-up an OpenCourseWare pilot.
Organizations, such as the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning, have provided resources such as software and support materials to explain what OCW is and why institutions should participate.
An eduCommons demo site is available as a sort of “sandbox” for those interested in trying the software before making a decision about how to host their Opencoursewaare see http: The eduCommons software is designed to make implementing and managing an OpenCourseWare project as simple and pain-free as possible. The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation generously funds the development of eduCommons, and the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning makes the software available completely free ujrnal charge.
Support is available as questions arise. The actual process of managing OpenCourseWare production can be set up many different ways. Often it can be integrated in an institution’s existing faculty technology opencourxeware or media center. Most successful OpenCourseWares have staff dedicated to handling the technical process of converting course content into Jurnxl content. This can reduce the time commitment required of faculty to just a few hours, including an initial meeting to obtain existing course content and a follow-up meeting to obtain final approval once the OCW course has been created.
Minimizing the time required of faculty to create an OCW course increases the likelihood that faculty will choose to participate. Other successful OpenCourseWares use the course conversion and redesign process as service opportunities for students looking for capstone projects.
Each institution will need to develop ipencourseware own policies and standards. This includes course design standards, intellectual property policies, and faculty release agreements. Samples of these may be obtained free of charge from COSL.
The first few OCW courses published by an institution will serve several purposes. They will help those involved to gain an understanding of the software, how to deal with intellectual property, as well as the overall OCW course publication process. These initial courses, however, can also be good internal marketing tools, useful when approaching other faculty about adding their course materials to the institution’s OpenCourseWare.
And, finally, once additional interest has been sparked, it may be necessary to pull together more resources to support the growing OCW project. These resources will likely take the form of people, time, and possibly technical infrastructure.
This is an iterative process that will continue as the OCW project grows and takes on more meaning and importance within the institution, and as potential participants come to jurnl clearly understand the benefits and possible challenges of an OpenCourseWare project. There are openxourseware reasons a school, business, or individual would license their material to be used or re-used in an open manner.
Wiley jurnaal one such reason:.

Dependency on laxatives can bring serious medical problems such as intestinal disorders. The following HealthHearty article elaborates more on the ill-effects of laxative abuse.
Although laxatives seem to be a remedy for people who feel constipated, one cannot overlook its side effects that have been reported in many cases. Taking laxatives in more than normal dosage in the name of improving constipation symptoms and losing weight can ruin your health. Long-term usage of laxatives in the prescribed dosage is also considered to be a form of laxative abuse.
This is the result of not following dosage instructions. Taking too much of laxatives and the person is bound to experience diarrhea. Also, long-term use of laxative can cause chronic diarrhea.
Disturbances in Electrolyte Levels
The electrolytes in our body are sodium, chloride and potassium. Normal electrolyte levels in the blood have to be maintained for proper functioning of the heart and the muscles. However, this electrolyte balance deviates from normal range due to chronic diarrhea resulting from laxative abuse. Electrolyte imbalance can cause muscle weakness and even lead to heart failure.
If laxatives are not used properly, it can trigger dehydration. Frequent watery stools is the main reason behind dehydration. This can eventually cause kidney failure and tremors. Dehydration can also cause overall weakness and the person has higher chances of fainting.
Impairs Intestinal Function
Use of laxatives on a daily basis, can also have a negative impact on the intestinal health. Total dependence on laxatives make the intestines sluggish. In such cases, the intestines stop responding, unless the patient takes large doses of laxatives. In short, intestines lose their ability to evacuate stools without the use of these stimulants. Taking large doses of laxatives for prolonged amounts of time can put a person in the risk zone of colon cancer.
Occasionally using laxative is understandable but one simply cannot depend on these substances to stimulate bowel movement daily. Stopping usage of laxatives and taking a diet that promotes bowel movement is the right approach to treat constipation. Believe it or not, but the best remedy for constipation is to have a high fiber diet, coupled with exercise. Of course, drinking plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day) is the most important thing to treat as well as keep constipation at bay.

Rob and Jamie Gaston are not afraid to follow their instincts, which led them to open Copper Mule Table & Tap in Bryant.
“We were watching a football game with friends in Bryant and wanted to go to a local restaurant to enjoy a great meal in a relaxing environment,” Rob said. “The only thing available was national chains. We began talking to local residents about what they would like in a locally owned restaurant.”
Based on their vision and input from Bryant citizens, the couple opened Copper Mule Table & Tap on Nov. 24, 2020. As a Bryant resident, I can attest that their establishment is a home run. It has been so popular that a patio and additional dining room space have been added due to the growing client base. Copper Mule is the couple’s first restaurant venture. Rob’s background is corporate business, and Jamie is a registered nurse. The couple, like many young families in Bryant, balance their business with the many activities of their children, Peyton, 17, Landon, 13, and Luke, 8.
The three dining areas of Copper Mule offer different experiences, as the patio is relaxing and comfortable; the entry dining area has more of a local grill feel; and the larger dining area has plenty of room for groups. The restaurant’s modern décor includes exposed beams and metal chairs, and meals are served on metal trays.
Rob and Jamie attribute a large part of the restaurant’s success to Chef/General Manager Mindy Mitchell, who migrated to Arkansas after Hurricane Katrina and earned her culinary degree at University of Arkansas – Pulaski Technical College, and to Kitchen Manager Charles Duncan.
“We have evolved our menu, and it is now primarily modern Southern and Creole fare,” Rob said. “I have fun every day. We constantly strive to improve our processes and procedures, while providing excellent food and unmatched service.”
Jamie said, “We have loved watching our customers develop newfound love for our Shrimp and Grits. Our version features creamy, buttery grits. Even people from southern Louisiana and Florida have told us they are fabulous.”
Indeed, the dish of Monterey Jack grits, shrimp, Creole garlic butter, portobello mushrooms, bacon and chopped green onions was perfect.
The Copper Mule also offers a scoop of homemade potato salad in the Gumbo, which is a southern Louisiana “thing.” Jamie likened it to trying a scoop of sour cream in a bowl of chili, saying, “Once people try it, they don’t want it any other way.”
If you are like me and love boudin, the Copper Mule has an appetizer that will blow your socks off! The team created Mule Balls, battered and deep-fried boudin balls with house-made remoulade. The Crawfish Cheese Dip, a Creole-infused queso with seasoned crawfish tails, is another appetizer that will tickle your taste buds.
During the visit, I also tried the Crispy Chicken Wings. Copper Mule is now my go-to place for wings! I may have to try every flavor option: naked, Buffalo, garlic Parmesan, Cajun dry rub and white ivory barbeque.
The Bone-In Pork Chop is offered chargrilled or fried. The 12-ounce Berkshire chop is drizzled with a lemon caper sauce that accentuates the wonderful flavor. The entrée menu also includes sandwiches, pasta, salads and many Creole favorites.
For dessert, I highly recommend the White Chocolate Bread Pudding with white chocolate drizzle, shaved white chocolate, whipped cream and pecan praline ice cream.

A few days ago, Fuse #8 posted a bit of news saying that Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed was going to be shown at a theater in Brooklyn. It made me so happy — as some of you may know from this previous post, I’m something of a shadow puppet enthusiast and a definite fan of Reiniger’s work.
Case in point: this past Saturday I did a shadow puppet production of Hansel & Gretel at my library. I think it turned out rather cute, so I thought I’d share a few images with you.
The first show our hero and heroine (volunteer kids from the audience) talking to their father in the forest.
Here the kids look hungrily at the fabulous gingerbread house.
Lastly, the evil witch casts a spell on Hansel. See that green glow? That’s the magic spell. Green is always the color of magic, right?
The more astute among you will see the great debt I owe to David Wisniewski’s Worlds of Shadow for this production. If you’re interested in shadow puppetry, I highly recommend picking up a copy.

My library began its own blog, Storypockets, a few months ago, and they’ve recently begun a wonderful little feature that I’m going to present to you for this week’s video-o-rama.
See, the Children’s Department co-hosts this fabulous children’s author series called Black White, & Read All Over. About once a month or so, we have the pleasure of hearing a kidlit author or illustrator in our lecture hall. It’s always been fine and dandy, but THEN somebody got the BRILLIANT idea of asking these kidlit people to do a brief video for Storypockets. And lo, it is awesome.
I can’t post the videos directly onto this blog. But . . .
- You can go here to see the always-ebullient Mo Willems give a rather straightforward pro-reading speech. Kinda like “Reading-Rainbow-Meets-Mr.-T.” It’s sideways because it was the first time we had ever used the camera. (Cough.)
- If you liked that, then you can go here and see Paul Zelinsky reading a poem by Jack Prelutsky.
Finally, the requisite off-topic video du jour. A few weeks ago I posted a video about world peace and office supplies; today I post a video about world peace and canvas bags. Let me just say that I’ve decided that what my life really needs is an anthem button.

Stellantis announces 'Ram Revolution' as it gears up for electric pickup launch
Chrysler parent Stellantis says it wants to hear from its customers about what they would like to see in the first electric Ram 1500 pickup.
The company is launching what it's calling the "Ram Revolution," billing it as an insider program for fans as it moves toward the planned launch of the first Ram 1500 battery-electric vehicle in 2024.
A trademark filing for Ram Revolution late last month set off some speculation that the new truck's name would be Revolution, but it's still not clear what the new truck will be called. Spokesman Trevor Dorchies said the company hasn't shared that yet.
For now, Ram Revolution appears to be more about the buildup to the new truck.
The company, in a news release, said it's creating an online hub at ramrevolution.com and will provide "consumers with a closer connection with the brand and its EV philosophy, meaningful updates with unique visuals and content, and an ongoing dialogue that will include the opportunity to provide input as Ram EV trucks are developed."
As part of its announcement Tuesday, Stellantis released a couple of concept images of the new truck, which appear to show the battery and a darkened silhouette of the vehicle.
Mike Koval Jr., the Ram Brand CEO, said in the release that Ram is "laser-focused" on revolutionizing the pickup segment.
“Our new Ram Revolution campaign will allow us to engage with consumers in a close and personal way, so we can gather meaningful feedback, understand their wants and needs and address their concerns — ultimately allowing us to deliver the best electric pickup truck on the market with the Ram 1500 BEV," Koval said.
More:Where is Ram's electric pickup? CEO Tavares assures it's on its way
More:Ram Heavy Duty diesel recall campaign under way, but no fix yet available
More:Ford F-150 Lightning dealer backs down from $10,000 markup
Ford and General Motors both plan to launch electric pickups sooner than Stellantis, so the status of Ram's electric truck has been a bit of a question mark for fans. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares told analysts in January that it's a regular question he gets but that it might be better to be a follower in this case than first out of the gate.
“It’s a fact that we are coming slightly after (the competition), but it's also a fact that we have the opportunity to adjust the competitiveness and the appeal of our own trucks to what they are doing, which is a competitive game, which is a fantastic situation for the consumer because the real winner of this competition is the consumer."
Tuesday's announcement of the Ram Revolution doubled down on that statement, noting that Ram would "push past what competitors have announced and what customers expect, to deliver a fuller portfolio of technology with more range, power, productivity and convenience."
In addition to launching the electric truck in 2024, Stellantis is promising that Ram will deliver "fully electrified solutions in the majority of its segments by 2025, and a full portfolio of electrified solutions for all of its segments no later than 2030."
In addition, the company has a wider electric vehicle initiative, with plans for $35 billion (30 billion euros) in EV-related investments across its 14 brands through 2025.

Stand with the United States Postal Service
This year, more than ever, Americans are depending on the United States Postal Service (USPS) for essential goods and services. In fact, over 90% of US-based Etsy sellers rely on USPS to deliver their packages to consumers. The USPS is particularly important for our sellers who live in rural communities, where USPS may be the only carrier available to them. Today, that essential service is at risk.
Due to the strains caused by COVID-19, recent funding shortfalls and service cutbacks, as well as long-standing fiscal challenges, the USPS is suffering. And sellers, along with millions of Americans, are feeling those challenges in unexpected delays and lost sales, as well as the threat of significant rate increases.
Given the essential role USPS plays in the livelihoods of small and microbusinesses, we strongly support the Postal Service Emergency Assistance Act (S.4174), which would not only ensure this crucial service survives COVID-19, but would help to drive its long-term stability.
Will you join us in asking your representatives in Congress to support the USPS today?

BOSTON — With current public health threats ranging from swine flu to bioterrorism to environmental contamination, innovations that better predict disease outbreaks have vast potential to protect the public. In a paper published online in advance of print on July 6 in Emerging Health Threats Journal, public health researchers describe their vision for the future of disease surveillance, detailing innovations on the horizon that may facilitate earlier detection and improved public health preparedness.
“Advances in identifying and gathering data, techniques for combining and processing that data, and technologies that enable deeper data analysis will facilitate a new paradigm in outbreak definition and detection. Our goal is to develop data analysis tools that can accurately determine both the probability that an outbreak will occur and its predicted severity,” said co-author Elena Naumova, PhD, professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM).
“There are many obstacles to improving tools for disease surveillance. Varying definitions of what constitutes an outbreak, differences in the quality and source of data, and differences in how quickly diseases progress and spread – all of these are realities that make it challenging to accurately and efficiently predict an outbreak,” said Naumova.
In the current study, Naumova and co-author Nina Fefferman, PhD, describe cutting-edge methods that address these obstacles and have the potential to revolutionize the way disease data is processed and analyzed. Fefferman is an assistant professor in the department of ecology, evolution, and natural resources at Rutgers University as well as a research assistant professor in the department of public health and community medicine at TUSM.
“There is vast, untapped potential in the multitude of new data streams made available by technological progress. Data can be submitted instantly from the site of an outbreak investigation, it can be gleaned from websites and news items, it can be obtained from satellite images; our current methods, however, are not up to the challenge of tapping and appropriately analyzing these sources. New techniques are being developed that will dramatically shorten the time it will take us to detect an outbreak,” said Fefferman.
“Dynamic mapping, multivariate visualization, flow mapping, outbreak signature forecasting, and large-scale simulations of infection spread are just a few of the tools being developed that might help us better detect the complexities of disease spread. These data analysis tools present huge data sets in such a way that researchers can better detect and interpret trends and anomalies,” said Naumova.
“Additionally, we can gain further insight into an outbreak if auxiliary information related to the population is readily available. By including information about demographics, population migration and travel patterns, vaccination patterns, and large social gatherings, we can factor in the many contributors to an outbreak,” said Fefferman.
According to the researchers, taking this auxiliary information into account will allow public health researchers to adjust their analyses by population, perhaps examining areas with limited vaccination coverage, or higher proportions of older adults, or heavy traffic from airports and tourism.
“Our hope is that improved disease surveillance tools will help us detect the unique signature of each outbreak, and as a result improve our ability to recognize the warning signs early and with greater accuracy,” said Naumova.
Naumova is the director and Fefferman is the co-director of the Tufts University Initiative for the Forecasting and Modeling of Infectious Diseases (Tufts InForMID), which works to improve biomedical research by developing computational tools to assist life science researchers, public health professionals, and policy makers. The center is focused on developing methodology for analysis of large databases to enhance disease surveillance, exposure assessment, and studies of aging.
This study was funded by the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health; as well as the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, and the Department of Homeland Security Command, Control and Interoperability Center for Advanced Data Analysis, both at Rutgers University.

Vigo appears as an explosion of constructions in all directions over an impressive and fairly handsome natural area. The Ría de Vigo (Vigo’s sea inlet) enjoys a milder climate and a bigger light intensity than the rest of Galicia and offers privileged views over the Cíes Islands. This natural frame contrasts with the city. Regarded from the sea Vigo looks like an scramble of buildings going uphill the steeply slopes and we hardly can recognize the city’s end or its original core.
Vigo’s urban plot reflects its dramatic demographic increase during the 20th century and specially after the 60’s. Vigo evolved from being a little fishing village of 35.000 inhabitants in the mid-nineteen century, to have a population of almost 200.000 in 1970. The result is a complex disassembled city that may appear as not finished and where rural and urban realities blend dramatically. Some of the most interesting projects of the last decades, some of them still ongoing, are focused on the redefinition of those limits, and include works from architects as Vázquez Consuerga, Aldo Rossi and César Portela, to name a few.

The Department of History welcomes Professor Natalie Zemon Davis to campus on Friday, September 24, to speak in F210 (the Fedeli Room) at 5 p.m.Professor Davis' talk is titled Decentering History: Local Storytelling and Cultural Crossing in a Global World.
Speaking partly from her own experience, Professor Davis will explore ways that the practice of history has changed, examining historical comparison through local figures (a male and female writer from different parts of the world in 1400) and through cultural crossing (how techniques in healing and justice transferred from Africa to a slave colony).
Natalie Zemon Davis is among the most widely known and influential historians in the academy. Her work on the social and cultural history of early modern Europe has reached readers far outside the university setting, perhaps most famously with The Return of Martin Guerre (1983) and most recently with Trickster Travels: a Sixteenth-Century Muslim between Worlds (2008). Earlier this year she received the Holberg International Memorial Prize in recognition of her lifetime achievement.
The lecture is free of charge and all are welcome.
For further information, please contact Dr. Derek Neal in the Department of History at email@example.com .

Mumbai: It has constructed 2.5 lakh houses since its inception in 1949. Now, the state-owned Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) plans to build nearly 2 lakh houses for middle and lower income groups in Mumbai and surrounding areas in the next 4-5 years.
“These days, most builders are constructing houses for the upper middle class and the rich. The needs of lower income groups and the middle class are not looked after. The middle class cannot stay in slums and neither can they afford the high rates,” said Mhada vice-president T Chandrashekhar.
“We are planning to construct 2 lakh houses in Mumbai and adjacent areas for the middle and lower classes in the next 4-5 years. Mhada has started looking for land in Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Ambernath, Badlapur, Vasai, Virar and Panvel.”
Recent studies by Mhada have shown that there is a demand for 5 lakh houses for the middle and lower classes in Mumbai. The agency had constructed most of its colonies in the 1960s and ’70s.
Over the years, its land bank has dried up. Mhada has just 75 acres of land left in Mumbai. Many of its plots have been encroached upon and there are slums on 70 pockets of the agency’s land.
Now, the state-owned corporation has asked the government to hand over land acquired under the Urban Land Ceiling Act, 1976, to Mhada. “Over the last few months, the state government has acquired over 400 acres of land in Mumbai and 580 acres in Thane city and district. The government had started the ULC for mass housing. We will ask those concerned to hand over the land to us,” said a Mhada official.
Mhada has enough land in Thane and Raigad, around 177.5 acres in the two districts to build houses. Private builders seemed happy with the plan.
“The idea of setting up Mhada was to cater to the needs of the middle and lower middle classes. But in the last few years, Mhada did not construct enough houses. Now, they seem to have woken up to the reality,” said builder Nirananjani Hiranandani.
Anil Agarwal of RNA (AA) Constructions, said, “We need flats for all classes. I support Mhada in this move.

Giesemann is launching a new light that combines the benefits of both LED and dimmable T5 technology with impressive power output and control. For example, the 24" model features 4 x 24W T5s plus 85 watts of LEDs. We share their press release after the jump.
Polyp bail-out is a phenomenon where a coral's polyps detach from their skeletal base to seek life elsewhere. Only a few species are known to do this. Scientists documented the first known such occurrence for sun corals, Tubastraea coccinea.
Exotic Aquatics is an Australian fish store specializing in freshwater/nature aquascapes ... and they are REALLY good at what they do. Their latest aquarium is called Distant Hollow. We don't have enough superlatives to describe the quality of their work.
Fish are not regarded as interactive pets, but don't tell that to these guys. We have no scientific evidence that man-made hybrids are more friendly and engaging, but these videos make a convincing argument.
Aquarist and researchers alike have used the mirror trick to try to fool fish into thinking they are looking at a rival. But scientists are starting to question the effectiveness of the technique because a simple mirror image isn't fooling fish the way we thought.
While we were surfing crowd-source websites, we ran across this fascinating but failed campaign to develop an aquarium centrifugal filter. Could we be spinning our way to cleaner aquariums?
Chalk another one up for researchers discovering what aquarists already know: A fish's behavior is not always predicated on basic survival tactics; Fish play for the sheer pleasure of the activity. If your fish is doing something inexplicably silly, don't just assume it's a derivative of survival behavior (e.g. feeding, mating, territorial, et al.). It's possible your fish is goofing around.
Flowerhorns are a man-made hybrid cichlid. To some people, they are beauties. To others, abominations. One thing is indisputable: they are aggressive, big-personality animals. Here's a video of a newly introduced flowerhorn being "initiated" by the resident beastly male.

Protest rallies were organised in Canberra and Sydney, on Sunday 24 July, against the killing of more than 50 Kashmiris and almost 1500 injured by the Indian military in the valley of Kashmir.
The fragile peace in Kashmir broke down when the Special Operation Group (SOG) of Kashmir Police, known for targeted civilian killings in the form of encounters, murdered 21 year Burhan Wani, the son of a local school principal on 8 July while Burhan and his two associates had been spending time with their family after Eid.
Wani was a militant social media activist with no record of violence but was considered a wanted militant by the Indian security forces who blamed him for inciting youth calling for liberation of Kashmir from Indian military rule.
Wani’s body was handed over to his family at Tral in South Kashmir at 3 am on 9 July. From that time people had started moving towards his home town in thousands to pay condolences to the family.
The funeral of Wani next day was attended by tens of thousands of Kashmiris despite imposed restrictions and mobilisation of security forces who tried to stop people’s movement for Burhan’s funeral at the Eid prayer grounds.
People at the funeral protested against the killing of Wani and his associates where women participated by singing folk songs praising the martyrs of Kashmir and youths shouted pro-Wani, pro-Freedom and anti-India slogans.
Indian security forces responded with brutal force, shooting with pellet guns on crowds that resulted in the killing of more than 50 people and injuring of more than 1500 at the funeral and subsequent protests over the next few days.
Children as young as 4 years old as well as a number of women were killed by the security forces who imposed an indefinite curfew in the valley and cut off the people of Kashmir by disconnecting internet and telephone services.
Human right activists gathered at 1 pm at Martin Place Sydney on Sunday 24 July to protest against the ongoing killing in Indian occupied Kashmir. India has used all sorts of brutal force against the people of Kashmir during its occupation.
People of diverse background and faiths attended the Sydney rally. Father David of Lakemba Church spoke on the ongoing brutality against unarmed people of Kashmir by the Indian security forces. Hanif Bismi urged all Australians to see Kashmir as a humanitarian crisis and called for an end to the ongoing atrocities by the Indian security forces.
Ms Bushra Salam, Vice Consul of Pakistan in Sydney pledged that the Pakistani government would make every effort to bring the Kashmir issue on every international platform including the UN.
Mr Masood Malik, a Kashmiri from the Valley briefed the protesters on the current situation in Kashmir. Mr Irfan Bhatt asked the people of Australia to come forward in support of the people of Kashmir. Pakistan Australia Association President Mr Rana Abbas the main driver behind the protest thanked the NSW Police and the Sydney City Council for supporting the protest as well as the people who attended the rally.
The Sydney protest rally ended with the protesters marching towards the UN offices passing a petition seeking a UN resolution to intervene in Kashmir on behalf of the international community.
The Canberra rally organised by the Kashmir Solidarity Council outside the ACT Legislative Assembly Building signed a Petition calling the Australian Government to play its role in stopping violation of Human Rights in Jammu and Kashmir.
The ongoing grave human rights situation in Jammu & Kashmir pursuant to the killing of a popular Kashmiri leader, Burhan Wani on 8 July, 2016, is a source of concern to everyone, particularly we the Australians who believe in justice and respect of human rights of all. We wish to convey our disgust and anguish over the brutalities and human rights violations of Kashmiri people by the Indian security forces.
Due to indiscriminate use of force against Kashmiri protestors, around 50 civilians have been killed and more than 1500 have been injured. Many of them have lost their eye sights due to pallet injuries. The doctors have reported that most of the injured sustained injuries above the waist line as the security forces are pursuing a policy of shoot to kill. The Indian Security Forces are also preventing ambulances to reach to the injured and doctors from treating them. The imposition of curfew and suspension of mobile and internet services and postponement of school & university exams have badly affected the lives of people in Kashmir valley.
The UN Secretary General has taken a note of the current situation in the valley. His spokesperson has mentioned that the Secretary General is closely following the recent clashes in Kashmir and has regretted loss of lives and injuries to many people. To avoid further violations, he has asked all the parties to exercise maximum restraint. Other countries have also expressed concerns at the violations.
Australia cannot remain passive to the grave violations of human rights in the Occupied Jammu & Kashmir. Australia has been engaged in finding a solution to the Kashmir dispute since its beginning.
The United Nations Security Council had also appointed Sir Owen Dixon, Sixth Chief Justice of Australia on 14March, 1950 as UN Representative to organize plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir. Australia has a special responsibility as a candidate for United Nations Human Rights Council for 2018-2020 and as an advocate of human rights for protection of human rights of the Kashmiris. The current situation in Jammu and Kashmir is the result of continued denial of right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people through a free and fair plebiscite under the UN auspices that was assured by the United Nations Security Council in its various resolutions. The Jammu and Kashmir dispute remains on the agenda of the UN Security Council.
We as Australians urge our leadership to call upon Indian authorities to:
a) Immediately stop violence against innocent civilians and cease repressive policies and human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
b) Stop firing at the peaceful protestors; branding them as terrorists which is nothing but a distortion of the reality in Kashmir.
c) Allow a fair and impartial inquiry.
d) Comply with their international obligations and safeguard the human rights of the people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

Well, I have 16 days until I am on my way home. It’s crazy how fast time flies, but at the same time, it seems like I had so much time here. Where did that all go?
This week, I worked with the Biotic Stressor Resistance Evaluation (BSREC) department, where I learned about common pests and infections for rice plants. The five I worked with were the BPH (brown plant hopper), GLH (green leaf hopper), Blast, BB/BLB (bacterial (leaf) blight), and Tungro. I was able to go into the fields and infect the plants with BB and Blast, where they will later be scored for resistance or susceptibility. I also observed how both GLH and BPH were monitored and used to test the crop’s resistance. During my time in the fields and the greenhouse, I developed a huge respect for the workers who go out every day and endure the heat for extended hours at a time. It’s very labor intensive and draining!
While I was with this group, they were super welcoming and offered me fresh native fruits, which they grew themselves. They love to crack jokes and get concerned when I am too serious. The biggest thing I’ve learned from my experience in the Philippines so far is that Filipinos definitely know how to make someone smile!

Roberto Mancini says his Manchester City successor Manuel Pellegrini should be winning a trophy every year.
Mancini thinks Pellegrini was "really lucky" to inherit a strong side from him and he should be delivering continual success at the Etihad Stadium.
Pellegrini did win two trophies last season, but the Chilean is now under heavy pressure with City faltering in their Premier League title defence and facing an uphill task to overcome Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Mancini, who was sacked by City in 2013 despite winning the Premier League title the previous year, told CNN: "I think Pellegrini was really lucky because he got this team that is a strong team and he has a chance to put in more good players.
Live UEFA Champions League
"I think City can win a title every year and have a chance - it should and must try to win a title every year."
The Italian’s jibe came on the eve of the second leg of City's showdown with Barcelona as they head to the Nou Camp trailing 2-1.
The success or otherwise of City's season now appears to hinge on the outcome of that game, as they trail Premier League leaders Chelsea by six points having played a game more.
But Mancini said: "It's my opinion that City is the best team in the Premier League. It's in second and six points behind Chelsea but I think it's the best team.
"In the Premier League anything can happen right up to the last game, in the last minute. I think they should think that they have a chance to win the title."
Barcelona v Manchester City is live on Sky Sports 5 HD from 7pm on Wednesday

Can nuclear power plants produce nuclear weapons?
For example, the process of enriching uranium to make it into fuel for nuclear power stations is also used to make nuclear weapons. Plutonium is a by-product of the nuclear fuel cycle and is still used by some countries to make nuclear weapons.
Can nuclear fuel be used for weapons?
Weapons-grade uranium is highly enriched, to over 90% U-235 (the fissile isotope). Weapons-grade plutonium has over 93% Pu-239 and can be used, like reactor-grade plutonium, in fuel for electricity production.
Why can’t a nuclear power plant become a nuclear bomb?
A nuclear explosion cannot occur because the fuel is not compact enough to allow an uncontrolled chain reaction. The MIT reactor has a lot of water and core structural materials that slow the neutrons down before they reach other fissile atoms.
Is nuclear power the same as nuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons today involve fusing two atoms together in an uncontrolled explosion. Nuclear energy involves harnessing the decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements in a slow and controlled reaction, creating heat that turns steam turbines.
Can nuclear reactors explode like atomic bombs?
It’s obvious now that it’s impossible for a nuclear reactor to explode like an atomic bomb. However, other accidents can occur in the nuclear reactor and lead to explosions. One example is hydrogen explosion where hydrogen build-up in the reactor core causes a hydrogen explosion.
Why use uranium in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. Uranium is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart.
How much does a kilo of uranium cost?
US $130/kg U category, and there are others that because of great depth, or remote location, might also cost over US $130/kg. Also, very large amounts of uranium are known to be distributed at very low grade in several areas.
Can nukes be recycled?
Nuclear waste is recyclable. Once reactor fuel (uranium or thorium) is used in a reactor, it can be treated and put into another reactor as fuel. … You could power the entire US electricity grid off of the energy in nuclear waste for almost 100 years (details).
Why is nuclear recycling illegal?
In the United States, nuclear reprocessing was banned for the fear of nuclear proliferation. Additionally, twelve states have also banned nuclear plants completely, due to the fact that they produce radioactive waste.
Why did Chernobyl explode like a bomb?
It’s not a nuclear explosion, but a steam explosion, caused by the huge buildup of pressure within the core. That blows the biological shield off the top of the core, ruptures the fuel channels and causes graphite to be blown into the air.
What happens if a nuclear power plant has a meltdown?
A meltdown is considered very serious because of the potential for radioactive materials to breach all containment and escape (or be released) into the environment, resulting in radioactive contamination and fallout, and potentially leading to radiation poisoning of people and animals nearby.
Do nuclear meltdowns explode?
In a complete nuclear meltdown, the fuel rods’ contents – uranium and fission by-products such as cesium – can be exposed and sink to the bottom of the reactor. … That then led to a rupture in the reactor’s fuel rods, which exploded, blowing the heavy sealing cap off of the building.
Do nuclear power plants produce plutonium?
Nuclear reactors that produce commercial power in the United States today create plutonium through the irradiation of uranium fuel. … Any plutonium that does not fission stays in the spent fuel. Spent nuclear fuel from U.S. reactors contains about one percent plutonium by weight.
What do nuclear power plants do?
Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. … The heat produced during nuclear fission in the reactor core is used to boil water into steam, which turns the blades of a steam turbine. As the turbine blades turn, they drive generators that make electricity.

Tunisia's riots pose troubling questions
It happened in Cairo in 1977. Then in Casablanca in 1981. And now in Tunis. ''It'' is the explosion of popular fury that can follow a third-world government's decision to raise the price of bread. In Tunisia, relative calm has returned after a week of rioting that may have killed more than 50 people, injured hundreds, and led to some 1,000 arrests. To restore order, the government was forced to do an about-face.
Over the weekend Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba rescinded the 80- to 110 -percent price increases for bread and cereals that sparked the riots. He also dismissed Interior Minister Driss Guiga, who apparently has been chosen to take the blame.
Over the long term, the rioting poses many troubling questions for the leadership of the country that is supposed to be the most stable in North Africa , and which has enjoyed a relative degree of economic progress. The government's clumsy handling of the price increases has damaged its credibility and tarnished the image of Prime Minister Mohamed Mzali, architect of the price rises and until now the likely successor to Mr. Bourguiba.
The move also revealed how many Tunisians live on a thin margin of survival. For some Tunisian households, bread and semolina constitute 80 percent of the food budget.
Political observers in Tunis and Paris say that the riots signified much more than a protest against a rise in the price of bread. The numbers of young people in the street, and the religious slogans they chanted point to deeper causes. As in a number of other Arab countries, many young educated Tunisians feel disfranchised. They have grown up with high expectations fostered by a Western-minded President and fueled by the tantalizing proximity of Western consumer goods.
Yet recession, unemployment, and underdevelopment have deprived many young people of the goods they would like to enjoy. It was no surprise that the young rioters attacked symbols of Western consumer society: travel agencies, Western boutiques, and supermarkets.
As many Arab countries are having to do, the Bourguiba government must decide how to handle the delicate issue of rising Islamic fundamentalism and growing anti-Westernism in Tunisia.
In 1981, the government launched a crackdown against Islamic fundamentalists in Tunisia, imprisoning many of the movement's leaders. But many of the economic safety valves that weakened the fundamentalist appeal are being shut off: Emigration to France for work is no longer feasible; the Gulf countries can no longer soak up excess labor.
Twenty to 25 percent of the work force is unemployed or only seasonally employed. With 60 percent of the population under age 20, Tunisia has a demographic time bomb on its hands.
Bourguiba seems to have expressed renewed confidence in Mr. Mzali. He gave the prime minister temporary charge of the Interior Ministry, and asked him to present a new budget in three months that will protect the poor against future price rises.
Still, last week's events may intensify the infighting in the Tunisian government for succession to the presidency of 83-year-old Bourguiba, who has ruled the country since it gained independence 27 years ago.
Bourguiba will have to decide whether he should continue the process of cautious liberalization begun last November to increase possibilities for political expression, or whether he should opt for a stricter policy.


SHANGHAI, China — Ford has launched a special 5-door Fiesta hatchback in China for young customers looking for a car with a more sporty and stylish appearance.
Featuring striking white body paint with blue stripes and sporty rear and side skirts, the blue & white version is a new addition to Ford's existing Fiesta product line-up in China. The company began offering 1,500 models of the special version to customers earlier this month (March).
The Fiesta special edition comes with a powerful 1.5L Duratec petrol engine which delivers up to 76 kW of power and 138 Nm of torque. The all-aluminium engine design contributes significantly to overall weight saving, while enabling better vehicle performance and handling.
Safety features such as Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), front, side and side-curtain airbags - as well as rear parking sensors, are all standard equipment on both the automatic and manual transmission versions.
"This newly launched Fiesta will greatly appeal to younger customers. The blue & white paint and sporty, dynamic bodyline, gives it a unique look on the road and makes you feel like you're driving a high performance car. The 1.5L engine was also very responsive during acceleration, which gave me great confidence during takeover," said Huang Zhenqiao, editor from Autohome,com.cn in a test drive review for the website.
Since its launch in China in 2009, Ford Fiesta has become a hot-selling vehicle in the small car segment, with more than 190,000 models sold during the past three years.

Pharmacists administer 1M flu vaccines!
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) strengthens calls on governments to expand the activation of pharmacists in vaccinating against COVID-19, following their clear success in administering influenza vaccines.
As of Sunday, 18 July, pharmacists have administered over one million influenza vaccines to Australians, according to data from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
PSA National President, A/Prof Chris Freeman, commends pharmacists who continue to play a crucial role in protecting our community, helping Australians consistently achieve high influenza vaccination rates.
“Year-on-year local pharmacists are continuing to make a significant contribution to immunisation against seasonal influenza, protecting their communities against this potentially deadly disease.
“Recent data from the AIR shows that pharmacist-administered flu vaccinations have now surpassed the one million mark since the start of this season. I know how grateful the public is to conveniently receive their vaccination from their local pharmacist.
“It’s not too late to get your flu vaccination from your local pharmacist, particularly as we come into our second traditional peak for the season.”
A/Prof Freeman went on to renew calls for nationwide pharmacist involvement in the COVID-19 vaccination strategy.
“This data from the AIR is indicative of the impact that local pharmacists can have on achieving national immunity and provides concrete justification that community pharmacist involvement will expedite completion of the vaccine rollout.
“According to a report released by the McKell Institute on Monday, activation of 4,000 community pharmacies would allow Australia to reach its vaccination targets roughly two months faster than at the current rate.
“In NSW, Premier Berejiklian has confirmed that the vast majority of community pharmacists will be activated over the coming weeks to combat the escalating COVID-19 outbreak across the state.
“All jurisdictions must take action and allow all COVID-19 vaccines to be available through the entire vaccinating pharmacist network.
“All Australians should have the option to go to their local pharmacist for their recommended vaccine because it is so easy and convenient to do so.” A/Prof Freeman said.

Marcel Veldhoven performs Arthur Rimbaud's deliriously beautiful poem "Le Bateau Ivre". Written when he was only 16 in 1872, Rimbaud precociously sent it in a letter of of introduction to Paul Verlaine. Shortly afterwards, he joined Verlaine in Paris and became his lover. Rimbaud's poetry, as well as his life, influenced the symbolists, surrealists and many 20th century writers, musicians and artists - from Pablo Picasso to Dylan Thomas, Henry Miller to Jim Morrison.
In 2011 Marcel Veldhoven (poet, philosopher and performance artist), commissioned a number of Shoalhaven artists (NSW, Australia) to create an image inspired by a particular quatrain from the poem. Marcel performed the poem, in French, to a backdrop of the projected images along with a wonderful live, free-jazz accompaniment played by local musicians.
We made this film with Marcel when he donated the paintings to the Lady Denman Museum and Gallery so there would be a legacy of Marcel's performance forever married to the paintings - just as he had envisaged - as well as creating a 'stand-alone film' as our contribution to this inspiring project.
Marcel died on the 20th November 2012. He was a wonderful life-force of art, poetry, philosophy and romance. A true renaissance man. Rest in peace Marcel.

On their latest LP, the Strokes want to head in a new direction, but they can't decide on one. So they use every track to obtain a different sound. Moments like "Under Cover of Darkness" embrace what's best about the band's past work, but "Two Kinds of Happiness" shoots for a sound most would probably associate with the 80s. Though it's kinda all over the place, most of the songs here are quite good. Maybe the band is exploring new territory since this is the first album after their hiatus.
As long as they're writing good tunes, I'll be listening.

Harambee: Let’s Get Together and Push : A mission trip doesn’t have to take place across the country
By: Delilah Martin and Michelle Tashjian
Allie, a former Maranatha student poses in front of Harambee’s slogan during the year of 2013
Team Harambee, a Christcentered, nonprofit organization was created to dedicated to help the underprivileged children of Pasadena. An integral part of Harambee ministries is due to the support of Maranatha High School. Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday the students of Maranatha dedicate their time and love to help tutor the children of Harambee, and provide them with a sense of guidance and stability. In addition, Maranatha High School host annual Christmas toy drives and school supply donations to help provide for the children of Harambee.
The kids perform their songs that they prepared for their families and the school
In 2013, a group of 17 students went to Harambee for a week with two Marantha faculty members. Sleeping in a church for a week just down the street from the school, every morning the group would walk over to the school. Whether it was playing with the kids or tutoring them, a lot of time was spent. The group also would work all day long cleaning and painting the school.
Because the trip was full of many heartfelt memories, coming back and leaving the school behind along with the kids was hard. The team decided to get together the next year during club rush and created Team Harambee. Most of the original team joined except for the seniors who had already graduated. There was so much excitement to reconnect with the Harambee family. The team took people down to the school to volunteer and continue to help the kids when free. Many more relationships were developed giving the kids mentors to look up to.
Many can help support the efforts of Team Harambee today. Join a ministry, volunteer, or donate! The Pasadena community can get involved with team Harambee, and help better the lives of these underprivileged children. As a community, we can dedicate our time and involvement to help improve the conditions and situations these children are experiencing. This is a time to place ourselves in the shoes of the children, and do to others as we would like others to do to us. When we all come together, we can be of great service to this organization.

MOTIONLESS LIFTING STATION
Lifting tables for automotive chassis assemble are unreliable. A good example is a motionless lifting station. The chassis is delivered on a high-speed conveyor and lifts it into a stationary position. A robot pulls and installs various parts throughout the production process.
LEANTECHNIK has been a partner with the automobile industry for more than 25 years and is trusted by divisions within. High precision and efficient lifting tables / lifting systems are required, which allow robots to work at optimal levels. The lifting table pictured was built with two double lifting columns and fitted with lifgo® linear rack and pinion gearboxes. And, the vertical lift of 125 cm (49.21 inches) with the exact positioning of 0.01 mm (0.0003937 inches) is perfect to meet the high standards of the automotive industry. The double lifting table can handle high capacity loads with superb repeatability which are important factors in automotive production.
DOUBLE LIFTING COLUMN
The Double Lifting Columns from LEANTECHNIK are efficient and conserve space. Due to separate drives, the lifting devices are independent from each other so that two systems can be operated at the same time. In addition, Lifting Columns are used in the automotive industry for fabrication systems and production-line assembly. In these systems, parts such as car doors, trunk lids or hoods are produced.
In the assembly of a Lifting system, we encountered the challenges of an assembly space that had a ceiling height of only 3.2 meters (10.5 feet). Despite the limitations of the production area, our engineers were able to install the Lifting Column successfully. In 3 seconds, the Lifting System can travel up to 1800 mm (70 inches) and handle a capacity up to 850 kg (1870 lbs ). The rack and pinion gearbox, lifgo® linear 5.3 Series, each have a lifting force of 15,000 N and travel on a rack in the operational range of the Lifting Column.
THREE AXIS POSITIONING SYSTEM (DAP)
This system was specifically developed for the automotive industry due to industry demands. All renowned automotive manufacturers are under pressure to produce a variety of models, but in smaller production runs. To meet these industry demands, production must be flexible and efficient. One option is to produce several automobile models on a production line. Consequently, you need a “Positioning System” that has been designed for such applications. Our “Three Axis Positioning System” (DAP) has the flexibility to adapt to the various types of chassis and the flexibility to transport through the production line as parts are installed.
High Precision Positioning
Primary point of DAP is our Gear Rack Drives, in that rotatory movement is transferred to linear movement. Our lifgo® Gear Rack Drives have precise roller bearings which provide exact positioning and are outstanding for high lifting speeds and the delivery of high transverse forces. There are four model variations in three sizes available and in addition the lifgo® 5.4 is for extreme weight situations.
Perfectly positioned for every automobile model.
Through the combination and synchronization of two or four lifgo® Drives powered by an electrical motor, the positioning system has the ability to move in different directions without extensive programming or assembly. Therefore, synchronized vertical and horizontal lift movements are achievable without difficulties. On the X-axis a lift from 500 mm (19.68 inches), the Y axis from 250 mm (9.84 inches) and on the Z-axis from 350 mm (13.78 inches) are possible. The repeatability lies between +/- 0.02 and +/- 0.01 mm. The lifting force is 3,500 N.
The positioning points operate independently from each other. They capture each ends of a chassis with support from take up points and are held with expanding grips. A controller jointly regulates each automobile model with essential spacing between the lifting points, lifts parts for the welding robot and manages other production processes at ideal working heights.
Flexible Engineering & Production floor planning
DAP (Three Axis Positioning) System offers the user a flexible production floorplan in which the positioning points of each chassis dimension can be automatically orientated. In this respect, LEANTECHNIK is a superior supplier in the production of multi-dimensional chassis.
For automobile assembly, we can offer our Lift & Lower Conveyor System with an additional Lifting System. It positions chassis for continuous operations with speed and precision.

The robust and valuable alternative to lifgo®. This rack and pinion gearbox is designed for straightforward synchronized lifting tasks, where exact control already exists and transverse forces are not required.
