Sensor Input Improvements
Sensor inputs are critical to a transmission controller, allowing it to function and make correct decisions. This particular area has also seen many improvements with new options for throttle position sensors, output shaft speed sensors, and input shaft speed sensors to provide better versatility, diagnostics, and control. The new auto-detect option for Ford range sensors also simplifies configuration and setup.
Negative slope TPS support *
For a wider array of TPS selections, and for compatibility with unique applications, a “descending” TPS signal (one that approaches 5.0V at closed-throttle with a voltage that drops lower as the throttle is opened towards WOT) can be used.
More output shaft speed sensor options
Supporting virtually all different types and versions of sensors. Chances are that no matter what speed sensor you have, it's compatible.
Improved speed sensor circuitry
Improved input signal processing increases accuracy and consistency for speed sensor inputs.
Optional tachometer input for precise shift point control and slip detection
If desired, the new tachometer input can be connected to enhance accuracy of the full-throttle shift points and enable transmission slip detection. The tachometer input is configurable to work with almost any engine.
Input Shaft (turbine) speed sensor utilization (when available) for more accurate control and diagnostics
Most transmissions that include an input shaft speed sensor can benefit from the controller's ability to read and interpret input shaft speed for more accurate control and monitoring. The benefits of using an input shaft speed sensor include the ability to detect transmission slip when the torque converter clutch is not fully engaged, more accurate determination of shift (and TCC) response and completion timing, the ability to discern transmission slip from torque converter slip, and better redundancy if another speed sensor happens to fail. These benefits add up to more accurate shift control, better transmission protection, and enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
All 4L80E transmissions have compatible input shaft (turbine) speed sensors. Most 2004 and later 4R70W and 4R75 transmissions also include a compatible input shaft speed sensor.
Auto range sensor type detection for Ford applications
To simplify initial setup, this feature eliminates one piece of critical information that must be manually entered into the controller's tuning software. Analog and digital range sensors are both supported by this feature and will work seamlessly.

The largely-Blairite Open Britain organisation, whose directors include Peter Mandelson and his godson – was behind Saturday’s “People’s Vote” march last Saturday.
It was marked by marchers – who marched alongside Tories and others who have done terrible damage to this country – criticising opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn rather than Theresa May and her government’s dire handling of Brexit negotiations, or Tory ‘rebels’ who don’t actually rebel.
The People’s Vote website offers a ‘news’ page which has one striking characteristic spotted by John Traynor of the ‘Ducksoap’ blog: almost all of the people featured commenting in it are supporters or members of the Progress faction.
Progress and its adherents have relentlessly opposed Corbyn’s leadership, but have ‘progressively’ lost influence as members have voted in representatives to its ruling bodies more in line with the membership. Progress MPs have often been reduced to sniping from the sidelines or tweeting about trash TV.
Of course there is always an appetite on BBC political programmes for faux-Labour voices so the corporation can claim to have offered ‘balance’ – but with Labour members increasingly taking back control of even their local parties, right-wing MPs have become less and less relevant to the politics and vision of the party and its membership.
So the need to lever themselves back into some kind of pertinence must be pressing for many of them – and so striking is the prevalence of Progress figures on the news page that Traynor considers it little more than a vehicle for raising their profile:
Is Traynor’s assessment correct? Certainly most of the names that appear are closely associated with the Blairite Progress faction.
Whether by accident or design, People’s Vote amplifies the voices of many MPs that left Labour members feel have done their best to damage Labour’s electability.
Pro-remain Corbyn supporters – of which there are of course many – should think hard before lending support to its expressed aims or oxygen to its ‘news’.

Japanese researchers say they have found a chemical in blueberry leaves that can block the replication of the hepatitis C virus.
The discovery opens up a new avenue for treating chronic hepatitis C infections (HCV).
HCV affects 200 million people worldwide and can eventually lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Currently, there is no vaccine for HCV, and though a drug regimen can clear an HCV infection, the treatment is only about 60 percent effective on average and poses a risk of severe side effects.
Because HCV is localized in the liver and can take 20 years or longer to develop into disease, researchers at University of Miyazaki believe that a dietary supplement might help slow or stop the disease's progression.
The researchers screened nearly 300 different agricultural products for potential compounds that suppress HCV replication and found one in the leaves of blueberries.
The researchers purified the compound and identified it as proanthocyanidin, a polyphenol similar to the beneficial chemicals found in grapes.
Proanthocyanidin can be harmful but researchers noted its effective concentration against HCV was 100 times less than the toxic threshold. Similar chemicals are found in many edible plants, suggesting that proanthocyanidin should be safe as a dietary supplement.
The researchers now aim to explore the detailed mechanisms of how the chemical stops HCV replication.
The study will be published in the Aug. 14 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry.

- The Nigerian government has decided to observe the International Day for Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The fight against the harmful practice is to be marked on 6 February each year, the Nigerian government announced yesterday. Around 50 percent of Nigeria's women are victim to the practice of FGM.
As from next year, 6 February is to be "observed as Nigeria's Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Elimination Day," the Nigerian federal government announced yesterday. The date earlier had been declared by the World Health Assembly and approved by the Federal Executive Council.
Female Genital Mutilation - sometimes misleadingly called Female Circumcision - is one of the traditional practices that are deeply entrenched in many cultures and traditions worldwide. This practice has over the years received global attention and condemnation because of its many serious physical and mental consequences, which have social, economic and political implications.
Nigeria is one of the 27 countries in Africa where FGM is still practiced. In Nigeria, the harmful practice has a prevalence rate of between 40 and 50 percent, according to earlier Nigerian estimates. UN estimates however puts the FGM rate at approximately 60 percent among the nation's female population, with local rates reaching 90 percent.
Yesterday, the Nigerian Ministry of Women Affairs published data putting the national FGM prevalence at 41 percent and regional variations ranging from 0.60 percent to 98.60 percent. "This high rate of prevalence poses a threat to government efforts to provide adequate health care, and fight against HIV/AIDS, as one of the consequences of FGM is the transmission of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases," the Ministry said.
While the Nigerian federal government so far has publicly condemned FGM as a harmful practice, it has not taken any legal action against FGM in the past. Nigeria, like many other countries of the world, however has taken several steps aimed at eliminating all forms of practices that infringe on the dignity of women and girls, including the support of campaigns against FGM.
- To this end, Nigeria has ratified several UN Conventions and Declarations that make provision for the promotion and protection of the health of women and girls, the Nigerian Ministries of Health and of Women Affairs said in a joint statement yesterday.
By marking the International Day for Zero Tolerance to FGM, the Ministries expect to "bring together all stakeholders to join hands to achieve zero tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation in the country." This, said Minister of Information, Chief Chukwuemeka Chikelu, was to "give the necessary support that fighting against FGM deserves."
afrol News - It is called "financial inclusion", and it is a key government policy in Rwanda. The goal is that, by 2020, 90 percent of the population is to have and actively use bank accounts. And in only four years, financial inclusion has doubled in Rwanda.
afrol News - The UN's humanitarian agencies now warn about a devastating famine in Sudan and especially in South Sudan, where the situation is said to be "imploding". Relief officials are appealing to donors to urgently fund life-saving activities in the two countries.
afrol News - Fear is spreading all over West Africa after the health ministry in Guinea confirmed the first Ebola outbreak in this part of Africa. According to official numbers, at least 86 are infected and 59 are dead as a result of this very contagious disease.
afrol News - It is already a crime being homosexual in Ethiopia, but parliament is now making sure the anti-gay laws will be applied in practical life. No pardoning of gays will be allowed in future, but activist fear this only is a signal of further repression being prepared.
afrol News / Africa Renewal - Ethiopia's ambitious plan to build a US$ 4.2 billion dam in the Benishangul-Gumuz region, 40 km from its border with Sudan, is expected to provide 6,000 megawatts of electricity, enough for its population plus some excess it can sell to neighbouring countries.

Biden praises India’s handling of Covid-19
New Delhi: US President Joe Biden praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for successfully handling Covid-19 in a democratic manner and contrasted this with China’s “failure” to tackle the pandemic during a closed session of the Quad Summit in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Biden’s remarks appeared to be “unscripted”, as he made a special intervention regarding India’s handling of the pandemic before making his prepared remarks, according to an unnamed senior official cited by news agency ANI.
While lauding India’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis in a democratic manner, Biden “contrasted India’s success with China’s failure to handle [the] pandemic, though both countries are of comparable size”, the official was quoted as saying.
Biden further said that Modi’s success has shown the world that democracies can deliver and busted the myth that “autocracies like China and Russia can handle the rapidly changing world better because their leadership can take and implement decisions without going through lengthy democratic processes”, according to the official.
According to an Indian government update on May 21, the country’s active caseload currently stands at 14,996 and the recovery rate at 98.75%. China reported a little more than 800 infections on Sunday, the first time the tally was below 1,000 since March 9, and down from a daily peak of almost 30,000 on April 13.
However, millions of people in Shanghai were confined to their homes for weeks and many restrictions remain in place under China’s “Covid Zero” approach.
Foreign secretary Vinay Kwatra told a media briefing on Tuesday that there was a “general appreciation” in the Quad’s deliberations and in a couple of bilateral meetings of the “manner in which India has been able to shape a very comprehensive response to the Covid-19 pandemic”. This included the vaccination drive and health security for primary health care workers, he said.
Every country, Kwatra noted, had responded to Covid-19 within its national context and the vaccine partnership of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue or Quad has evolved to include not just Covid-19 vaccines but also the building of health infrastructure and an increase in vaccine manufacturing capacity.
Quad members have also distributed made-in-India vaccines to Cambodia and Thailand recently and there is an understanding that members of the grouping need to come together to stay prepared as they move forward, he said.

What you eat for breakfast may be the key
Eating breakfast, as opposed to skipping it, is widely believed to improve weight management. However, this belief lacks substantial supporting evidence. A recent review of evidence showed either positive or no support that eating breakfast improves appetite control and satiety and increased energy expenditure. Breakfasts that contained larger amounts of protein (30 grams of more), more energy (more than 350 calories), and which consisted of solid foods (as opposed to liquids) led to greater appetite control and satiety compared to breakfast skipping.
A new systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of eating or skipping breakfast on weight change and energy intake in high-income countries. The meta-analysis included 13 randomized trials. (Interestingly, none of these trials was included in the review mentioned above). Of the new studies, seven evaluated weight change, while ten evaluated energy intake. Skipping breakfast predicted a small but significant reduction in weight (0.44 kg) compared to eating breakfast. Skipping breakfast also predicted lower energy intake (260 versus 441 calories per day) compared to eating breakfast. The authors cautioned that inconsistency across trials and potentially high bias could have affected the results.
In perusing the information about the included studies, I saw only one breakfast that I would consider “healthy.” Common breakfast items included packaged cereal, milk, and juice. In my view, these breakfasts included unhealthy foods with insufficient protein, fiber, fat, and calories. As I see it, this meta-analysis compared the effects of eating a lousy breakfast or skipping it.
The question of whether or not eating breakfast matters misses a key point. What you eat probably matters more. Duh! What about starting the day with a donut and a cup of coffee? What about starting the day with a bowl of oatmeal made with thick rolled oats and a quarter cup of wheat bran, topped with a half cup of soy milk, whey protein, a half cup of plain, lowfat Greek yoghurt, a half-cup of blueberries, and a dash of cinnamon? (I eat the second breakfast four times each week.) Do you think that the first breakfast would induce worse health-related outcomes than the second breakfast?
I recommend eating breakfast, but make it one that’s worth eating with quality foods that provide sufficient (but not too much) protein, fiber, and calories.

Pentagon gives mixed signals
Last week, the U.S. sent an Air Force B-52 bomber to the Persian Gulf in a show of force intended as a warning to Iran against carrying out attacks on U.S. forces or interests. A day later, however, acting secretary of Defense Christopher Miller announced the Pentagon has decided to send home the USS Nimitz, the only Navy aircraft carrier operating in the Middle East.
The two moves seem to contradict one another, and there has been conjecture the activity reflects a split within the Department of Defense about just how much of a threat is posed by Iran … and what to do about it as the Trump administration nears its end.
If such a theory is correct, the uncertainty is dangerous.
In December, President Donald Trump cited “chatter” that Iran could strike on or near the anniversary of the American airstrike that killed Iran’s top commander, Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Trump warned “Some friendly health advice to Iran: If one American is killed, I will hold Iran responsible. Think it over.”
Given the circumstances, sending over a B-52 as a reminder made sense. Barring other information (and it is likely there IS other information), removing the USS Nimitz from the region does not seem to make sense.
Amid a complicated transition to the Biden administration this month, there is already the perception that U.S. forces and interests might be more vulnerable right now. Mixed signals from the Pentagon don’t do anything to inspire confidence. While there is good reason not to give away all the details, Pentagon officials would do well to provide an explanation that portrays a U.S. military united in its thinking about how best to keep this country and its interests safe.
Any perceived division or weakness that puts our citizens — particularly those serving in the military — in harm’s way is unacceptable.

‘Gaming disorder’ now considered a mental health condition
PHOENIX — Compulsive video gaming is now considered a mental health condition by the World Health Organization.
The U.N. health organization announced Monday it added “gaming disorder” to its list of recognized health conditions.
That doesn’t surprise Daniel Kaufmann, a professor at Grand Canyon University who has done research on video game addiction and has offered treatment for it.
“Research has been done on how playing video games at high rates of frequency can interrupt other activities in life and can become problematic for a person’s lifestyle,” he said. “We’ve seen that consistently, and we’ve seen it in a way that lines up with other behavioral forms of addiction.”
Kaufmann said a video game addiction can start to form when a person “abandons a lot of different life areas that most of us would agree lead to higher levels of fulfillment and happiness.” That includes spending more time playing video games and less time with friends and family or at work and school.
Kaufmann said it can affect people of all ages, not just teenagers, and the consequences can be severe.
“People that tend to have a problem with scratching their video game habits are going to suffer in life areas like work or relationships, or friendships or school,” he said. “This can lead to different problems for different age ranges and different life situations.”
The World Health Organization said a gaming disorder is “characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behavior.”
It added that a gaming disorder can be manifested if a person prioritizes gaming “to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities” and it continues to escalate “despite the occurrence of negative consequences.”
Kaufmann said having the World Health Organization recognize compulsive video gaming as a mental health condition could lead to more help becoming available for people dealing with this issue. He said there are already a number of counselors and support groups that offer help.
His advice to people who know someone dealing with a video game addiction? Have a conversation.
“You want to actually figure out what is missing in all these life areas that maybe the person is avoiding, and when they play it’s a way to escape that and not feel stressed out or anxious or worried,” Kaufmann said.
Also, Kaufmann said he advises people to be understanding and avoid having arguments.
“There’s a wise and thoughtful way to approach this problem like it is a legitimate issue, because it definitely is,” he said.

Block 17 of the Grandma’s Kitchen Block of the Week by Pat Sloan is named Pantry Goods. My story that goes with the block is all about the garden and all the bounty that we enjoyed from it. My aunt had a huge garden that supplied food for her family (that included me) and my grandparents. The work started in the spring with plowing and planting and continued through the fall with the gathering and canning.
Everyone worked the garden. I remember spreading fertilize when I was very small. I used a little tin bucket that I filled from the bag of fertilize. I walked down the rows behind the plow that was pulled by a team of mules and threw handfuls into the prepared rows. One of my cousins followed behind me with seeds or plants, depending on what was being planted. Another cousin followed him with a hoe and covered the seeds. After all the planting came the hoeing….every day. This kept the weeds away from the plants and the dirt from hardening around the plants.
When the vegetables were ready to be harvested then came the canning. Going into the cellar (our ‘pantry’) under the house to bring out the empty jars was not one of my favorite jobs. I was always afraid one of the boys would close the door on me. I still do not like going into tight, dark spaces. The jars were washed in hot, soapy water and since my hands were small enough to fit in the jars, I was assigned this task.
I usually sat on the porch and readied the green beans to start the canning process. My cousins would pick the beans and bring them to me so I could pull off the strings and break them into pieces. Each time I would get to the bottom of my basket the boys would bring me more. One time I broke beans for about six hours before we stopped to start making supper. I made the comment to my aunt that I was so tired and glad to stop for supper. In her old country way she looked at me and said, “I don’t know why you are so tired, you have been sitting on the porch all day.” Those are still some of my fondest memories.
Each Sunday at church the ladies would brag about how many jars they canned that week. Not only did we eat fresh vegetables all summer, but all winter we had the wonderful canned vegetables. This was ‘fast food’ in the olden days. 🙂

Kurliiny Tjenangitj Trail
Wellington National Park
Directions - Located near Collie, take Coalfields Highway from South Western Highway heading east and turn right onto Wellington Dam Road when you see the signs for the park. Take a right turn onto River Road to reach Honeymoon Pool and follow it all the way to the car park for the popular camping spot. The trail initially follows the markers for the Jabitj Trail heading upstream from Honeymoon Pool.
The Hike - One of the best places to get out and explore the vast Jarrah Forests near Collie, Wellington National Park has a range of hiking and mountain bike trails that thanks to recent investment, is expanding over the next few years. Having visited a few times over the years to hike the Sika Trail, Jabitj Trail and the first part of the Wiilman Bilya, along with riding through on the Munda Biddi in 2021, there was one trail that I kept meaning to come back and visit, the Kurliiny Tjenangitj Trail.

News: Lil Wayne Punished For Unauthorized MP3 Player
Monday, Oct 4, 2010 9:40PM
Incarcerated rapper Lil Wayne has reportedly been punished for being busted with an unauthorized MP3 player last spring at Rikers Island.
Details on his punishment were released online Monday (October 4) night.
Rikers Island has moved the rapper to solitary confinement as part of his punishment for getting caught with headphones and a mp3 player back in May (the jail had to wait for a spot to open up). He will be confined to an isolation cell for up to 23 hours a day until he is released November 4, and will see his out-of-cell time restricted to visits, religious services and a single hour of recreational time per day. Also, he will now only get to make one personal phone call a week. (New York Mag)
A Rikers Island source has spoken on the situation.
Weezy won't be going near other inmates during the rare moments when he is not locked down in a so-called "punitive segregation" cell - known as "The Bing" among Rikers Island jailbirds. "He's not in an area where he is mingling with other inmates - ever," a Correction Department source said. (New York Daily News)
In May, Wayne confirmed he got into trouble while serving out his sentence.
"Ain't too much, I got in a little trouble and whatnot, you feel me," Wayne added about being caught with headphones and a MP3 charger. "Yeah, they tried to bang me with that. ... But I can't live without my music, Scoob. You know how it is, man. I needed my music. It's all good. I had to take my little slip up. I ain't trippin'. Players f--- up." (MTV)
Details on the discovery circulated across the Internet in mid-May.
Lil Wayne is up to his ears in trouble in prison -- after he was reportedly busted during an early morning search with a pair of earphones and an iPod charger ... a big no-no at Rikers Island. Wayne -- who's serving a one-year stint for a gun charge -- will be charged with an infraction for being in possession of "music contraband." (TMZ)

The planting recommendations from UF for July actually surprise me as I’ve been told to start tomato seeds on the 4th of July. Otherwise, you can see that there isn’t much gardening happening in July.
I’m not doing anything this month because of my schedule and the heat. I’ve decided not to start seeds this summer, and I have yet to find a local source for Jerusalem Artichoke. It’s good to know that July is the time to plant it.
I’m far enough north in the central region that I could probably get away with transplanting peppers. I’ve never had any luck with eggplant in the summer, but peppers have always been a good summer crop for me, although they don’t always tolerate being transplanted.
If you’re going to do it, transplant them while they are young and in the early morning. They have a hard time recovering once they start to wilt, so keep them watered. A little shade cloth until they get established wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
I had a couple volunteer pepper plants this year that I think were a cross between my cayennes and jalapenos from last year. Aside from using them in chili, they were too hot for most meals for my family.
If my schedule wasn’t so busy, I would have picked and dried them, but I’ve opted to just let them go. If they’re still alive after my schedule settles down, I’ll decide what to do with them.
My sweet potatoes have really taken off and my Seminole peas and Seminole pumpkins are starting to produce. I need to come up with more uses for my Seminole pumpkins. I have squash coming out of my ears.
My kids like snacking on the peas straight out of the garden, but I’ve managed to save a few dried pods for seeds. I want to wait until it’s producing more before I start harvesting a lot of green beans for dinner.
That’s it for now. Stay cool and hydrated.

I will be working ALL HOURS this week to finalize various aspects of the main Island map. The small inset illustrations are each about 8.5" x 11"
After executing the line drawing it's digitized separate from color work. Both line and color are merged and placed so that information will be easy to understand and there is a combined historic/current perspective. Managing the space and making decisions regarding key elements has been fluid but at times very difficult. If you are encouraged by the progress please consider funding. We should have a really cool piece when completed.

Damage is much higher in Odisha when compared to Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal Media reported that 20 people had died due to collapse of walls, trees and electric poles in Odisha. However, there is no official information to validate the death toll.

Review – Bamboo Brush Rolls
If you ladies don’t own a brush roll you need one now! They are meant to protect the shape of your bristles as well as keep them sanitary. Once you start using one you will wonder how you ever lived without it.
Most brush rolls are soft and made of fabric which protects the brush but not like this bamboo brush roll. This roll is made with a stiff bamboo material similar to a bamboo placemat if you’ve ever seen one of those. It also reminds me of what they use to roll sushi lol. It does a great job of protecting the brushes. It would be perfectly safe to throw this roll in a bag or even luggage. These rolls are made by tnmakeupgal on Etsy. The brush roll is 8 in tall and I leave it laid flat on my vanity but you can also roll it up for safe keeping. It makes it very easy to locate all my brushes and keeps the bristles in good shape all at the same time. The roll has 15 elastic loops that can hold brushes (of course), lip products, mascara, my Too Faced Shadow Insurance, etc. The only thing I would change about the roll is having a combination of large and small loops so that my smaller brushes and eyeliners can fit in with falling out. I actually ended up putting several small brushes in one loop so that they would stay put. A couple of my larger brushes stuck out the top a tiny bit but I could easily push the brushes down a bit so the bristles were fully covered. These brush rolls are $18 each and are well worth every penny. She also does custom colors at no extra charge so don’t be afraid to send her a message. I need to work on organizing my ever growing stash and this is a step in the right direction.
She also makes adorable crayon rolls!!! My daughter got hers and LOVES it! Perfect size for her almost 3 year old hands to carry around everywhere and keep the crayons from breaking. The crayon roll is obviously shorter than the makeup brush roll.

===================================================================[spoiler=Flamengo - Kure v Hodinkach
Along with The Matadors, Flamengo were one of the earliest Czech groups that started out in the mid-60's as beat bands and recorded a bunch of singles on legal state apparatchik label. Their then-leader Frantisek Francl was a well regarded fuzzed-up guitarist and wrote most of their track (even if they did a cover of John Mayall's No Reply), but with time, the group changed line-up and with the arrival of the now-legendary vocalist Vladimir Misik and woodwind player Jan Kubik, the group's sound was dramatically affected and started sounding like a brass rock band, with a slightly more jazz twist than the better know US groups. They might be compared best with Colosseum and sometimes Traffic
. Their sole album was set to be released in 72 on the state label Supraphon, but apparently was quickly banned by the regime. Nothing was heard from the musicians until 76, so most likely, they chose to lay low for a while.
Sole album from this Prague band that had started as far back as the mid-60’s and had released seven singles between 67 and 69. Their sole album came in the second part of their career in 72, once woodwind player Kubik and vocalist Misik arrived and changed the group’s sound to a sort of hard-driving brass-jazz-rock.
By this time Flamengo was a sextet, and until then, they had been fairly well tolerated by the communist regime after the crush of the Spring Of Prague. And for some strange reasons, the regime will ban the album, most likely on the account of the lyric content, which had been written by Josef Kainar and Hynek Zalcyk, both non-members of the group, although the latter was the album’s producer and doing a fairly good job sound-wise.
This album has now reissued in 98 with a superb reworked booklet including the Czech lyrics and lavish time-themed (or mechanical clock pieces) illustrations and two bonus tracks. If previously fuzzed-out guitarist Frantisek Francl had been the focus of the band, he was gone from the line-up, here Kubik’s wind instruments dominate the album (he gets help from two other sax players Kral and Hruska) from the short title track intro with its footstep intro, until the last brass grumbles the second part of the title track closing the album, notwithstanding the two bonus tracks of this Cd reissue. The album’s name Kure V Hodinkach means "chicken in the clock”.
Songwriting-wise the chores are roughly spread out between windplayer Kubik, guitarist Fort and vocalist/percussionist Misik, with keyboard man Khunt also contributing a track, but it would be pretty hard to tell which one would have written which track, because the album stands as a very tight collection of track. This was "released” even if later banned by the second (behind Opus) label of the country: Supraphon. Standing out a bit is the flute-laden acoustic guitar Ja A Dym track slowly evolving into a nice sax-dominated groove, one of the album’s highlights. Roughly the other tracks sound much like an Italian Colosseum (Italian due to the singing, mostly) and at times Traffic. The centerpiece (and longest track) Par Stoleti is another superb moment with its outstanding interplay between keys, winds and guitar. The bonus tracks are obviously strongly related to the album (slightly funkier and extra female backing vocals) and are pure added value to the album.
Flamengo’s sole album stands as one of the best album to have come out of communist Czechoslovakia. Outside the almost legendary Misik (and to a lesset extant Fort and Kubik that crossded his path regularly), so far I have not encountered the musicians of this group in others albums, especially inn the very next year following this album’s "release” until 76. But this is only the start of my Czech and Slovak ventures, and believe me, outside the poor Collegium Musicum album I reviewed three weeks ago, it starts out under the best of omens. Jump for it!!! (Fremata and Modry Effekt coming up)
A great record, the rhytm section of Vladimнr Kulhбnek and Jaroslav Љedivэ was considered the best in Czech rock music at that time.
It is also very ointeresting to note, that the guitarplayer Pavel Foшt was a bass player and a rhytm guitarist in periods before and he started practising lead guitar playing not long before this recording. As for th songs, the best are clearly the title track with its neat rhytm achanges and great guitar soloing, Stбle dбl sung by the organ player Ivan Khunt in his raspy voice with the guitar and flute playing the fine main riff in unison, the dreamy acoustic ballad Jб a dэm with great flute work again and Jenom lбska vн kam with great energy level, agreably tight rhytm section and powerful vocals from Vladimнr Miљнk. Al in all a grat record, very cohesive and complex, worth four and half stars.

• Newborn infants with wide cranial sutures and large anterior fontanels, but having normal head circumferences, were prospectively studied and compared with a group of normal controls. The study group with wide sutures was composed of two different groups—one with good calcification of the calvaria, fairly large anterior fontanels, and no Wormian bones; and another with distinct parietal prominences, very large anterior and posterior fontanels with prolonged patency, poor initial calcification of the calvaria, and Wormian bones.
Normal head growth and physical and mental development were observed in all the infants studied.

In something of a departure, I’ve recently written several songs for Katrina the Shrew, a musical modernization of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew.¬†While I’ve always been quite interested in musical theater, in this case the musical is written to be performed by the Fourth Grade class of the Central School in the East Hanover School District of New Jersey. The premiere performances are June 2.
The script is by “Willa Shakeschweer,” the nom de plume of Emily Thompson Schweer, who teaches at the school. Emily also wrote the lyrics to the show, while I contributed the music. I’ve collaborated with Emily before in several performances at In Mid Air Productions.

Using Scarface as his guide to life, Adam Higgs is going from zero to high school hero.
Adam Higgs is a loser, and he's not okay with it.
But starting as a junior in a new high school seems like exactly the right time to change things. He brainstorms with his best friend, Brian: What will it take for him to take over Nixon Collegiate?
Adam searches for the A-listers' weak spot and strikes gold when he gets queen bee Sara Bryant to pay him for doing her physics homework. One part nerd, two parts badass, Adam ditches his legit job and turns to full-time cheating. His clients? All the Nixon Collegiate gods and goddesses.
But soon his homework business becomes a booze business, which becomes a fake ID business. Adam's popularity soars as he unlocks high school achievements left and right, from his first kiss to his first rebound hookup. But something else is haunting him—a dark memory from his past, driving him to keep climbing. What is it? And will he go too far?
How to Win at High School's honest portrayal of high school hierarchy is paired with an adrenaline-charged narrative and an over-the-top story line, creating a book that will appeal to guys, girls, and reluctant readers of every stripe. Adam's rocket ride to the top of the social order and subsequent flameout is both emotionally resonant and laugh-out-loud funny.
Yeah, this was a really fantastic book! But you know that things aren't going to end well. And by things, I mean his business and popularity. But you know, in the gaining of that, he lost something, that he didn't really regain until everything he was working for came falling down!
So I think that this is Owen Matthews' writing style, since he did it here and in his second book, where there's short chapters to tell the story. Which means a lot of pages. But yeah, it works, and I really enjoy it!
This was a really great look at high school. Those kids, the popular ones, the gods and goddesses, yeah. And the desire to not be a loser, to be one of the popular kids. And you wanted to root for Adam, but knowing that what he was doing was wrong, and it was hurting him!
You could almost call this a warning book, like a guide of what not to do. But it's more than that, which is the almost. Because there's his family, and the warnings, and the beating up. And yeah, it's not a book with the happily ever endings, but one with a solid reasoning and going into life from a better place.
This book was weird and awesome, and I really enjoyed reading it!

A model of strategic implementation is developed as a possible solution to the inability of numerous US business organizations to effectively plan their electronic data interchange (EDI) systems. The model is developed based on an extensive analysis of the EDI systems of numerous US firms and illustrates the dynamics of such systems in reference to supplier-customer relationship, as influenced by corporate structure, marketing and distribution channels, and buyer power. Five generic business strategies are formulated using the EDI model. These are the strategy in which retail firms follow the lead by suppliers and customers, the strategy in which EDI's functions in the supply chain are expanded, the new products and services strategy, the tie-in strategy, and the time-based competition strategy

THE Love Islanders are a good-looking bunch so it’s no surprise that one of them was such a cute toddler.
These childhood pictures of one of the villa stars shows them as a little tot – but can you guess who it is?
The infectious smile and plenty of dark brown hair might give it away.
Yes, it's bombshell Amy Day.
Amy, who started her Love Island journey at Casa Amor, looks adorable in the never-before-seen snaps.
In one childhood photo, Amy can be seen bursting with excitement as she places her hands on her face.
The cute toddler is wearing a shower cap and pulls a cheeky expression that lights up the room.
In another picture, Amy is wearing a pink ballerina outfit, proving she was a natural performer from day one.
In another treasured photo, the reality star is dressed in a frilly layered patterned dress.
The youngster beamed as she showed off her dance skills and perfected her moves.

She looked adorable in the showstopping ensemble, with her hair scraped into a bun.
In other photos, the talented 25-year-old who has appeared in cabaret shows, looks unrecognisable in elaborate outfits and heavy makeup.
She can be seen taking centre stage and belting out tunes to an audience.
The actress from Surrey has performed on cruise ships and has featured in an episode of Humans, and dreams of one day featuring in the West End or Hollyoaks.
Performer Amy is one of the latest singletons who joined the ITV2 show in Casa Amor and coupled up with PE teacher Hugo Hammond, 24.
TIME TO HU-GO
However, viewers were have called for "time waster" to get the boot from the villa.
Last night, Hugo dismissed Amy as a "holiday romance" that was fizzling out - the latest girl he's given the brush-off.
Some fans insisted the lad has a girlfriend back home after he called the Casa Amor stunner for a "chit chat choo" and delivered the bad news.
One fan asked: "Hugo, how many times are we going to go through this?"
Another wrote: "Hugo has a girlfriend and is only here on holiday. Even he can’t believe he made it this far. What is wrong with the producers?!"
A third suggested the feeling was mutual saying the 'ick' was notable as he came over for a "chit chat too".
Others felt he didn't address her concerns during their chat, tweeting: "Amy said she felt insignificant and Hugo had the audacity to say ‘you’re saying this now’ instead of apologising."
The pair are at risk of being dumped tonight after being voted one of the least popular couples in the villa.

6 AM - Blue sky, refreshing breeze, coffee in hand, birds aplenty, life is good! Today is "A Day in the Life". We are visiting a local family in their home and eating with them. Our talk yesterday was on the education system. Schooling is compulsory until the age of 18. Trade schools are free. Public universities, there are 5, cost approximately $200 per semester. In high school, students must learn a second language, either English or French. In order ...
Yesterday, we flew from Pensacola, Florida to San Jose, Costa Rica. Our goal was to learn more about the Costa Rican people and their way of life. Secondarily, we hoped to find a better, more affordable place for us to share our common hobby of salt water fishing from the surf and from charter boats.
Our San Jose hotel was a true experience. Formerly known as the Hotel Torremolinos, it had been recently renamed Hotel Autentico. That meant not a single ...
... but not long before we found the street market area. It's like one big flea market; shop after shop after shop and tons of people walking everywhere and nowhere in particular. I got to do a very cliche and touristy thing: compare Latin McDonalds to American McDonalds. The verdict is.... It's about the same but less salt on the fries here which is nice. They offer a Super Mac h which is twice the meat of a regular Big Mac... ...
... know it would take us 4 hours to check in! Yellow Fever What?!?! When we went to check in for our flight to San Jose, Costa Rica, we were asked if we had our yellow fever shot. Well, no, we said. Two different medical practitioners (one a doctor, one a travel medicine clinic RN) had said it was not necessary for us to get them. Too bad. Copa Airlines REFUSED to fly us to Costa Rica without them. REFUSED. Kristin had no problems flying to San Jose because she was with ...
... night. We woke at 3 am and left by 3:20 to make it to the summit for sunrise. Alex and Aurie forced us to go ahead when we stopped to wait for Alex to be sick again, one of the 10 times he would empty his stomach on the way up. We made it to the summit with plenty of time to spare. We had watched The Bucket List a few days before and thoughts of witnessing something majestic was on our minds as we witnessed a sunrise that is difficult to put into words. ...

One of the two mountain lions euthanized by Federal Wildlife Services officers last week was the same one that attacked an 8-year-old boy in Bailey, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials announced Monday.
The male mountain lions were estimated to be a year old and weighed about 65 pounds, according to a CPW news release.
A mountain lion bit a boy on the head Aug. 21, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment of serious injuries. The child had his second surgery Sunday, according to a statement from the Platte Canyon Fire Protection District, and “he continues to persevere and remain brave while healing.”
In a statement released Saturday, family members called the young boy compassionate and brave, and they asked for privacy.
“He had surgery to repair multiple lacerations to his head and face,” they wrote. “He will need time for additional treatment and healing. We thank everyone for their overwhelming support, expressions of concern and offers of help.”
The day after the attack, as CPW officers continued to look for the mountain lion, someone called to report two mountain lions in the same area that had eaten his goat. The two mountain lions found near the goat carcass were then killed because they killed a domesticated animal and because they matched the description of the mountain lion that attacked the child, CPW officials said last week.
The University of Wyoming forensics lab confirmed the DNA sample from one of the euthanized mountain lions matched hair samples that were removed from the boy’s neck and chest after the attack, the father’s shirt after he picked up his son, bedding from the hospital and fur at the scene, according to the release.
“It is reassuring to know that the mountain lion from both the attack and depredation of the goat was removed from the area,” said Area Wildlife Manager Mark Lamb in the release. “This male juvenile mountain lion was not only a threat to human safety, but obviously to livestock and pets as well. We had clear signs that both of these male mountain lions were feeding well in the area, so there was no reason to believe that they would travel elsewhere out of that community any time soon.”
Samples from the claws of the mountain lions also matched protein samples from the goat, according to the release. The mountain lions’ necropsies showed goat tissue in their stomachs.
The Platte Canyon Fire Protection District set up a GoFundMe site to raise funds for the family and is also collecting gift cards at Platte Canyon Fire State #2, 153 Delwood Drive, Bailey, CO 80421.
CPW officials said they are continuing to monitor mountain lion activity and encourage people to report sightings or problems. After the two mountain lions were euthanized Aug. 22, three more mountain lions were spotted on property in Bailey.
