Julie and the Phantoms Season 1
Originally, Julie e os Fantasmas was a Brazilian series. It was a musical with drama and adventure. Paula Knudsen, Fabio Danesi, and Tiago Mello created the series which was released back in 2011. Apart from the Brazilian channel, the show also aired on Nickelodeon. The season was divided into two parts, the first part was shown in 2011 and the next part followed in 2012. This Brazilian show was hugely popular and it was awarded “the best Children’s program”. Now, Netflix is going to adapt the series and release a music-driven series with the English name “Julie and the Phantoms”.
Fans will be delighted to know that none other than Kenny Ortega will be directing the show. He is known for his work on High School Musical and he will also act as an executive producer for “Julie and the Phantoms”. The first season will have 9 episodes with each episode spanning for about half an hour. Dan Cross and Dave Hoge are the showrunners of the show and they are also in the team of executive producers with George Salinas. Paul Becker and Kenny Ortega will be involved with the choreography.
Apart from Kenny, the team of directors will include Kabir Akhtar, Paul Becker, and Kristin Hanggi.
What is the story?
The plotlines follow a high school student called Julie. She was passionate about music but the death of her mother changed her, and she lost her interest in music. But her life changes when the ghost of three musicians visit her. They appear in her mother’s studio and slowly but surely she gets back her passion for music and starts to write songs and sing again. With the boys, she decides to form a band, and names it “Julie and the phantoms”. It is a heartwarming show about managing life’s ups and downs.
When will the show release?
It is announced that the show “Julie and the Phantoms” will be released on 10th September 2020. It is a Netflix original series. The episodes aren’t lengthy so the viewers will probably finish the first season quickly.

Bianca Del Rio, Lady Bunny unite for explicit HHN: Hateful Hags Network TV special
Drag superstars promise insults, dirty jokes, and a musical number in a faux newsroom.
If you're looking for a pair of powerful voices who can unite the country in peace at one of the most divisive points in American history, look well beyond RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio and Lady Bunny's latest project, which promises plenty of hateful rhetoric to compliment the chaos of 2020.
EW can exclusively announce that the drag superstars (and longtime friends) will reunite for HHN: Hateful Hags Network, a Vimeo comedy special that combines the familiar comforts of a news program with the leading ladies' comedy slam stylings.
Premiering Thursday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. on Vimeo, the HHN: Hateful Hags Network sees producer-stars Del Rio and Bunny anchoring a newsroom where the only headlines are insults and dirty jokes, with extra gags, costume changes, and a musical number by a surprise guest in the mix as well.
“Enough with COVID and politics. It’s time for something really important… back-stabbing drag queens!” Bunny says of the special, while Del Rio adds: "Due to COVID, some Drag Race queens have opened OnlyFans accounts. Bunny and I would never do that. Not because of any moral objections — because we're ugly!"
Best known for winning RuPaul's Drag Race season 6, Del Rio has since gone on to become one of the world's most successful drag acts, having performed sold-out comedy sets in iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and Wembley Arena on top of starring in two independent Hurricane Bianca feature films, authoring the Blame It On Bianca Del Rio book, and making her West End stage debut in Everybody's Talking About Jamie.
A renowned icon in the LGBTQ community, Lady Bunny created New York City's legendary Wigstock festival, which was the focal subject of two documentary films: 1995's Wigstock: The Movie and Wig, which premiered on HBO in 2019.
Tickets for HHN: Hateful Hags Network are available on Vimeo here ahead of the special's premiere next Thursday.

With its distinctive charm at the forefront, the mobile management simulation RPG Evil Hunter Tycoon celebrated its illustrious 3rd anniversary. Users from all over the world may expect a significant update for the brand-new PVE content World Boss. The game was once again highlighted as one of Google’s suggested games on the 17th of March 2023 as a result of this change.
Defeat the World Boss to win amazing rewards in Evil Hunter Tycoon
Poison Hydra, hissing in the Lost Forest, and Lich King, murmuring spells beneath the Corrupted Abbey, need to be vanquished by the entire community. Every other week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the two will show up. Avoid the boss for a bit if it becomes violent during the battle. It periodically becomes vicious to increase assault power and lessen the Hunters’ ability to evade.
The hunters are accustomed to constant conflict. The Town Chief, however, rarely takes part in combat! It does imply that the conflict will involve many challenges and difficulties. The Chief’s talent has a 30-second cooldown, so use it wisely. Out of a total of five skills, the Town Chief may select three. Find the ideal combination of skills for yourself, as the Chief’s skill set may determine the future of the community.
At the end of this arduous struggle, a wonderful prize is waiting. Attempt an attack at least once because some of the goodies have never been seen before. When players assault more in the raid, they will be able to get more boss chests. Players can obtain “Boss Essence,” a component of “Boss Weapon,” in the Boss Chest. But if they are fortunate, they might immediately obtain the boss’s weapon, so carefully examine the package.
Evil Hunter Tycoon brings generous benefits to celebrate its 3rd anniversary
All Town Chiefs will get Looting Owl Summon Ticket in honor of the 3rd anniversary celebrations with this update. The returning users will also receive a variety of benefits, including 800 Gems, 3 Awakening Crystals, 1 Legendary Hunter Invitation, and 15 Shiny Coins. Several community activities will also be held, including a birthday party costume contest and an event that awards gems based on the number of screenshots taken during World Boss battles.
Are you excited about Evil Hunter Tycoon celebrating its 3rd anniversary? Let us know in the comment section below!

Judge questions state on card games
TALLAHASSEE — A federal judge on Thursday appeared skeptical of the state's defense of how gambling regulators handled controversial "designated player" card games at the heart of a legal challenge by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
During a pre-trial hearing, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle repeatedly questioned J. Carter Andersen, a lawyer representing the state, about the games, also the subject of recent decisions by state administrative law judges in disputes involving cardroom operators.
The popular games have taken off since first introduced at Florida pari-mutuels more than four years ago, but the Seminoles contend that, by allowing the games, the state breached an agreement that granted the tribe the exclusive rights to operate "banked" card games, such as blackjack.
A five-year deal giving the tribe exclusive rights to operate banked games — part of a larger agreement, known as a "compact," signed in 2010 — expired last summer, prompting the Seminoles' lawsuit. Under the compact, the tribe is allowed to continue to operate the games for the remainder of the broader 20-year deal, if the state permits anyone else in the state to offer them.
Under Florida law, a "banking game" is defined as one "in which the house is a participant in the game, taking on players, paying winners, and collecting from losers or in which the cardroom establishes a bank against which participants play."
Pari-mutuel cardrooms are allowed to conduct games in which players compete only against each other.
Years after the designated-player games first popped up at pari-mutuels in Florida, gambling regulators in January filed complaints against more than a dozen cardrooms regarding the games.
The complaints came months after the Seminoles filed their legal challenge accusing the state of breaching the compact.
"It only reversed its position and said that they were unauthorized banked games after the lawsuit which we are currently litigating was filed," Barry Richard, a lawyer representing the Seminoles, said Thursday.
Richard cited testimony from Department of Business and Professional Regulation Deputy Secretary Jonathan Zachem, who headed the division overseeing gambling in January, when regulators proposed repealing a rule governing the card games.
In his deposition, Zachem said that "where a banker is using their table, their dealer, their facility --- meaning the cardrooms --- that they are establishing a bank," Richard said Thursday.
Lawyers for the state insist that gambling regulators do not have the power to authorize card games prohibited by state law.
But Hinkle appeared to reject that argument during Thursday's telephone hearing, focusing on the part of the law that bars cardrooms from "establishing" a bank.
"Why isn't that a description of a designated-player game?" the judge asked Andersen.
"Regardless of what the regulator does, it's the Legislature that determines whether or not the state permits banking games," Andersen said.
But Hinkle then described a hypothetical situation in which gambling regulators allowed a facility to hold blackjack games.
"And (the cardroom) set it up and they go and they have a blackjack game. And you say, tough on the tribe. That doesn't give them any right because even though the division formally said you can do this, it turns out it's against the law, so you can ignore what the division said and tribe, you're out of luck. That's the state's position?" Hinkle asked.
Andersen said that the Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering never "authorized" the games, but approved the cardroom operators' internal controls laying out conditions for the games, which in some cases required potential designated players to put up $100,000.
Based on a review of the internal controls, it appeared "that the games would be played in accordance with state law," Andersen said.
"The concept of designated player games in other jurisdictions and in the industry is that they are games similar to Texas Hold 'Em where the button rotates and the players are playing against each other," Andersen said. "If certain cardrooms were playing the games in an unauthorized manner, it's our position that it isn't something that was authorized."
"Is it true or not true you never took an action to shut one down until after this lawsuit was filed?" Hinkle persisted.
"When the state learned that these things were a problem, the state took action," Andersen replied, adding that the tribe only "started complaining about this last year."
But Hinkle pointed out that the tribe initially objected to the games as long ago as 2012.
The judge also appeared troubled that regulators had signed off on a $100,000 "buy-in," required by Melbourne Greyhound Park, to serve as the designated player, indicated by a "button" on the card table.
"It seems to me, it's just common sense. I don't know that it's necessarily right, but it seems to me that nobody walked off the street that was going to play this game was going to take the button if you had to be approved in advance and come up with $100,000," Hinkle said.
Hinkle also told the lawyers that he would not rule on motions for summary judgment but instead intended to hold a trial, slated to start Oct. 3 in Tallahassee.
Thursday's hearing came less than a week after Administrative Law Judge E. Gary Early ruled against gambling regulators in a challenge filed by multiple cardroom operators.
Early said in a decision Friday that gambling overseers were wrong to do away with a rule governing the card games without replacing the regulations.
Gambling operators maintain that doing away with the rule, adopted in 2014, would put an end to games that bring in at least $87 million a year and are now offered at nearly every cardroom around the state. Regulators proposed doing away with the rule late last year.
In a separate case, Administrative Law Judge Suzanne Van Wyk sided with the state in a case involving the Jacksonville Kennel Club Inc., also known as bestbet Jacksonville. Van Wyk found that the manner in which the Jacksonville facility was conducting the games violated state law.

SENATE COMMITTEE ISSUES REPORTS ON PRE-WAR IRAQ INTEL
Secrecy News: "A summary of the report's conclusions, which would have been most useful about four years ago, is presented here, with links to the newly released reports." Sen. Rockefeller noted: "In making the case for war, the Administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent." See also, Talking Points Memo. This is mostly old news as TPM says as is the fact it is fundamentally what impeachment is all about. But, this is a no go. We don't do things that way. We are weak-willed losers.

For Haji Wright and the United States, it was a disappointing opening match to the U17 World Cup. The US wound up on the wrong side of a 2-0 final score, dropping their first contest to Nigeria, the reigning U17 world champions. The US squad also finished the match with just ten players, though the damage was done prior to the sending off.
Wright was the only New York Cosmos player involved, starting for the red, white, and blue, and leading the line. Defender Alexis Velela was also named to the matchday squad, but went unused on Saturday.
Wright failed to convert the best chance of the match just 13 minutes after kickoff, while the score was still level at 0-0. Christian Pusalic played a beautiful ball across the face of goal for the Cosmos' forward, who unfortunately sent the shot over the crossbar, and out for a goal kick.
The US managed to keep Nigeria off the scoreboard in the first half, but the defending champs scored twice in quick succession early in the second 45 minutes, while the Americans looked less dangerous after Wright was taken off at the 64 minute mark. Things got even worse for the US when Austin Trusty was sent off with just a handful of minutes remaining, which will cause him to miss the next match, against Croatia, on October 20. Trusty's absence, however, could open the door for Velela to get some minutes. We'll have to wait to see what US coach Richie Williams decides to do.

Robert Fitt succeeded before the Court of Appeal this week in overturning his client’s convictions for using false identity documents to flee persecution and torture in Uganda. The client had presented a false passport and birth certificate at Manchester Airport in September 2007 having escaped from her home country and in the course of travelling through the UK en route to Canada.
Mr Fitt’s client had pleaded guilty to two offences of possession of a false identity document with intent, contrary to section 25(1)(a) of the Identity Cards Act 2006 (repealed on 21st January 2011). The appeal was based on a change in the law since the date of conviction, meaning that the client had a defence available to her that she had not known about when entering her pleas. The Court of Appeal was persuaded that it was likely the defence would have succeeded at trial and that there was a real and substantial injustice in allowing the convictions to stand. The court allowed the appeal and quashed both convictions.
The case was a referral from the Criminal Cases Review Commission under the Criminal Appeal Act 1995. Mr Fitt was instructed by Mary Monson Solicitors.


- The spread of coronavirus, particularly in enclosed spaces is shown in a new film, produced with experts in the field, which highlights the risk in simple, everyday interactions
- The campaign will run across TV, radio, print, out of home, social and digital display advertising
A new science based public information campaign will be launched ahead of winter to highlight how everyone can help to stop the spread of the virus by remembering to wash their hands, cover their face and make space.
‘Hands. Face. Space’ will run across TV, radio, print, out of home, social and digital display advertising, as well as on community media channels and will be supported by a variety of public and private sector partners throughout the coming weeks.
As part of this campaign, a new video is being released to show exactly how coronavirus spreads indoors. With people expected to spend more time inside during the winter, the film – produced with the help of scientific experts – encourages the public to follow simple steps to reduce the risk of infection.
Through a scientifically based reconstruction of everyday scenarios the film shows how the interactions between people, surfaces and the air spread the virus. The film also reflects how coronavirus spreads through droplets that come out of our nose and mouth. This is a powerful reminder to the public of the importance of remaining aware of their surroundings and following the guidance.
Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty said:
As we approach winter and inevitably spend more time indoors, we need the public to keep following this important advice to control the spread of the virus.
‘Hands. Face. Space’ emphasises important elements of the guidance we want everybody to remember: wash your hands regularly, use a face covering when social distancing is not possible and try to keep your distance from those not in your household.
Following these simple steps could make a significant difference in reducing the transmission of COVID-19 and help protect you and your friends, colleagues and family from the virus.
The compelling evidence combined with expert recommendations around ‘Hands. Face. Space’ includes:
Washing your hands
While coronavirus is not likely to survive for long periods of time on outdoor surfaces in sunlight, it can live for more than 24 hours in indoor environments (see endnote 1). Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or using hand sanitizer, regularly throughout the day will reduce the risk of catching or passing on the virus (see endnote 2).
Covering your face
Coronavirus is carried in the air by tiny respiratory droplets that carry the virus. Larger droplets can land on other people or on surfaces they touch while smaller droplets, called aerosols, can stay in the air indoors for at least 5 minutes, and often much longer if there is no ventilation (see endnote 3). Face coverings reduce the dispersion of these droplets, meaning if you’re carrying the virus you’re less likely to spread it when you exhale (see endnote 4).
Transmission of the virus is most likely to happen within 2 metres, with risk increasing exponentially at shorter distances (see endnote 5). While keeping this exact distance isn’t always possible, remaining mindful of surroundings and continuing to make space has a powerful impact when it comes to containing the spread.
While coronavirus deaths have significantly reduced, the virus is still circulating in communities and impacting people of all ages across the UK. ‘Hands. Face. Space’ are simple but vital behaviours that have the power to protect the public from both the short and potential long-term impact of coronavirus.
Professor Catherine Noakes, part of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) who specialises in airborne infections said:
Coronavirus is emitted in tiny droplets when we breathe, talk, laugh or cough. Other people can be exposed to these when they are close to someone with the virus or they are in a poorly ventilated room for a long time.
Wearing a face covering prevents most of these droplets from being released into the air, and can also reduce the number of droplets that you are exposed to. That is why wearing a face covering serves as a vital first line of defence against catching and spreading the virus, along with regular and thorough handwashing with soap and water and maintaining a safe distance wherever possible.
Poppy, 27 from London and suffering from long-term COVID-19 symptoms:
There is a worrying trend at the moment for people who don’t consider themselves as being at a high-risk group to be dismissive of how the virus may impact them. Before having coronavirus, I was fit and healthy. Now 6 months after supposedly recovering, I’m still dealing with the aftermath of the virus which affects my everyday life. You really don’t know how this will impact you and just because you’re not classed as vulnerable – doesn’t mean you’re not at risk.
The public are encouraged to continue to be vigilant of coronavirus symptoms which include a new continuous cough, high temperature, or a loss or change in your sense of taste or smell. If you or someone you know, displays any symptoms, no matter how mild, please get a free test by calling 119 or visiting NHS.uk
Additional information about the Test and Trace approach
The new NHS Test and Trace service helps identify, contain and control coronavirus, reduce the spread of the virus and save lives. We all have a vital role to play in tackling coronavirus and NHS Test and Trace will help us return life to as close to normal as possible in a way that is safe and avoids a second peak.
If you have coronavirus symptoms you must self-isolate immediately with other members of your household and book a test on the website: nhs.uk/coronavirus or via 119.
Those who have tested positive for coronavirus will be contacted by the service by text, email or phone – and asked to share information about their recent close contacts. Close contacts could include household members, people with whom they have been in direct contact, or within 2 metres for more than 15 minutes.

I’m getting into eventlab and it’s a ton of fun, however you having to start at a start already available is a restriction that is stopping a lot of potential. I know roadmaps are available and devstreams but I don’t really keep up with them, does anyone know of an expansion to EL that is coming down the line ?
I believe something as simple as starting a track anywhere would be a gold mine. Volcan sprint is my fave track (the road race up the volcano) but I think a downhill version would be even better! It would basically double the track list almost overnight.

Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions--So They Don't Control You (CD-Audio)
The average person has 70,000 thoughts every day, and many of those thoughts trigger a corresponding emotion. No wonder so many of us often feel like we're controlled by our emotions. Our lives would be much improved ifwe controlled them....
Her bestselling books include Battlefield of the Mind, Look Great, Feel Great, The Confident Woman, Never Give Up! and Power Thoughts.
Joyce holds conferences approximately 15 times each year, worldwide, speaking to thousands.
In LIVING BEYOND YOUR FEELINGS, Joyce Meyer examines the gamut of feelings that human beings experience. She discusses the way that the brain processes and stores memories and thoughts, and then - emotion by emotion - she explains how we can manage our reactions to those emotions. By doing that, she gives the reader a toolbox for managing the way we react to the onslaught of feelings that can wreak havoc on our lives.
In this book, Meyer blends the wisdom of the Bible with the latest psychological research and discusses: the 4 personality types and their influence on one's outlook, the impact of stress on physical and emotional health, the power of memories, the influence of words on emotions, anger & resentment, sadness, loss & grief, fear, guilt & regret, the power of replacing reactions with pro-actions, and the benefits of happiness.

Hickey Attorney, Agent, or Firm-G. H. Telfer  ABSTRACT In a brushless excitation system, a rotating rectifier assembly is provided in which the rectifier diodes and associated fuses are mounted on heat sinks which are supported about the periphery of a rotatable support wheel.
6 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PATENIEUmc 1 31914 3.829.725 saw 2 or 4 RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY FOR BRUSI-ILESS EXCITATION SYSTEMS BACKGROUND'OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to brushless excitation systems for alternating current generators, and more particularly to an improved construction and arrangement of the rotating rectifier assembly of such excitation systems.
Brushless excitation systems are now widely used for supplying direct current field excitation to large alternating current generators. Such an excitation system includes an alternating current exciter having a stationary field structure and a rotating armature member. A rotating rectifier assembly is carried on a common shaft with the exciter armature and connected thereto to provide a direct current output. The output of the rectifier is supplied to the field winding of the main generator which also rotates with the exciter armature and rectifier. In this way, an excitation system is provided which requires no commutator or slip rings and no sliding contacts.
The rectifier assembly for such an excitation system utilizes a suitable number of rectifier diodes to provide the required output current with the necessary fuses for protection and with heat sinks for dissipating the heat generated during operation. Additional components such as capacitors and resistors may also be required in some cases. Heretofore, these various components have been supported on high strength steel wheels mounted on a rotatable shaft and having axially extending cylindrical rim portions. The components of the rectifier circuit were mounted on the inside cylindrical surface of the rim in a manner to support the rectifier circuit components against rotational forces as shown for example in Hoover US. Pat. No. 3,371,235. This type of construction requires relatively long and expensive wheels and the rectifier assemblies were difficult to manufacture because of the large number of components, connectors and supports which had to be placed inside the wheels. One or two of these wheels occupied a very substantial axial distance and, in addition, a fan or blower was usually mounted on the shaft to circulate cooling air for ventilation of the alternating current exciter as well as the rectifier assembly. Thus, these prior rectifier assemblies were difficult and expensive to manufacture and were undesirably long.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, a rotating rectifier assembly for brushless excitation systems, is provided which requires relatively few components and is easily assembled and which requires relatively little axial space. In the new assembly, the diodes and fuses are mounted on heat sinks which connect them together in a plurality of diode assemblies, and these assemblies are disposed about the periphery of a rotatable support member or wheel and secured thereon by a retaining means which may be an insulated ring encircling the outside of the heat sinks. In this way, a compact assembly is provided which is relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture and which requires relatively little axial space. A minimum number of components is required and the rotating rectifier assembly can readily be designed to produce sufficient fan action for circulation of ventilating air through the associated altemating current exciter as well as for ventilation of the rectifier assembly itself.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As previously indicated, the invention relates to a rotating rectifier assembly for brushless excitation systems. As shown in FIG. 1, such a system includes a rotating rectifier assembly generally indicated at l and an alternating current exciter having an armature member 2 carrying a suitable armature winding 3. The armature 2 and rectifier assembly 1 are preferably mounted on a common shaft 4 for rotation therewith, and the shaft 4 may be integral with or coupled to the shaft 5 of a main generator which carries the rotating field winding which is to be excited from the output of the rectifier 1.
As shown in the drawings the rectifier assembly 1 includes a circular support member or wheel 6 mounted on the shaft 4 for rotation therewith. The wheel 6 may be made of steel or other suitable material of sufficient strength and is suitably insulated. In the illustrated embodiment, generally arcuate sections of insulating material 7 are applied to both sides of the wheel and cemented or otherwise secured thereto, and a generally channel-shaped insulating member 8 is placed on the rim of the wheel 6 so that the entire periphery of the wheel is covered with insulation. It will be understood, of course, that the wheel 6 may be provided with insulation of any desired type to effectively insulate the components carried thereon from the wheel.
A plurality of diode assemblies are disposed about the periphery of the wheel 6. Each diode assembly includes a heat sink 9 which, as shown in FIG. 2, consists of a generally rectangular block of suitable material of high thermal and electrical conductivity such as aluminum or copper. The heat sink 9 may be provided with fins 10 to increase the radiating surface and therefore the heat dissipating ability, and has a central recess 11 formed in its lower surface for engaging the wheel 6. A threaded hole 12 may be provided in one end and a similar mounting hole may be provided in the lower surface of the heat sink adjacent the other end.
The heat sinks 9 are used as mounting supports and electrical connections for the components of the rectifier circuit. A diode 13 is mounted in one end of each heat sink. The diodes 13 are of the stud-mounted type having studs which serve as one terminal as well as a mounting means. The studs are threaded into the mounting holes mentioned above in the lower surfaces of the heat sinks 9 and are secured in place by lock nuts 14. At the other end of each heat sink 9 is mounted a fuse 15. The fuses may be of any suitable type capable of withstanding high rotational speeds and have a terminal member 16 at one end and a terminal lug 17 at the other end which is attached to the heat sink 9 by a screw threaded into the mounting hole 12. Thus, each diode assembly consists of a heat sink 9 with a diode 13 mounted in thermal and electrical contact at one end and a fuse 15 mounted in electrical contact at the other end.
A suitable number of diode assemblies as described above is provided and they are disposed equally spaced apart around the periphery of the wheel 6. The heat sinks 9 are placed on the rim of the wheel with the central recess 11 engaging the wheel rim, the heat sink being insulated from the wheel by the insulating channel 8, and the heat sinks are preferably placed with all the diodes 13 on one side of the wheel and the fuses 15 on the opposite side as shown in the drawings. The outer or top sides of the heat sinks 9 are provided with insulation of any suitable type, such as the insulating channel members 20- shown in the drawings, and the diode assemblies are retained in position on the wheel 6 by a retaining member 21 which encircles the entire assembly and engages the heat sinks 9 to retain them in position. The retaining member 20 may be a steel ring of suitable size shrunk or otherwise firmly clamped in engagement with the heat sinks to hold them in position, the ring 21 being insulated from the heat sinks by the insulating members 20. It will be understood of course that the retaining member 21 might be any suitable type of ring member of sufficient strength and might be made of insulating material such as glass tape impregnated with a suitable resin wound on the assembly under tension and the resin then cured. If such an insulating material is utilized, the insulating member 20 would be unnecessary and could be omitted. It will be seen that the diode assemblies are thus rigidly supported in position on the rim of the wheel 6 so that a mechanically stable assembly is provided which is capable of rotation at high speeds without risk of vibration or looseness.
The electrical connections of the rectifier circuit are made by means of connectors on the wheel 6. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3 the diodes 13 are connected together by generally arcuate connectors 22 which may be cut from an aluminum ring, or may be made of other suitable conductive material and which are attached to the wheel by bolts 23, being insulated from the wheel by the insulation 7. In the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings,,there are 24 diodes divided into six groups of four diodes each, and there are accordingly six connectors 22 attached to the wheel 6 and spaced apart as shown. The diodes 13 have leads 24 and the diodes of each group are attached to the corresponding connectors by means of screws 25 which connect the leads 24 to the connectors. The diode groups thus formed are connected to leads from the winding 3 of the alternating current exciter. In the illustrated embodiment, six leads 26 are brought from the armature winding 3 and connected to the appropriate connectors by screws 27 or by other suitable means. The leads 26 are brought along the shaft 4 and supported against centrifugal force and vibration by a suitable support ring 28 or other supporting means to hold them firmly in place on the shaft 4. In order to provide a complete rectifier bridge circuit on the wheel 6, diodes of opposite polarity must be included. In the particular embodiment shown, the twelve diodes in the three groups on the upper half of the wheel 6 are all of one polarity with respect to the heat sinks, and the 12 diodes in the three groups on the lower half of the wheel 6 are of opposite polarity. It will be understood that, in general, the diodes may be arranged in any suitable or desired manner for any particular number of diodes that may be required, and the polarity and disposition of the diodes may be determined as required by a particular circuit configuration.
As indicated above each diode 13 is connected to its associated fuse 15 by the heat sink 9 on which both are mounted. The rectifier circuit is therefore completed by the fuses 15 on the opposite side of the wheel 6. The fuses 15 are connected together by means of arcuate connectors 30 attached to the wheel 6 by screws 31 or in any suitable manner and insulated from the wheel by the insulation 7. Since the diodes are arranged as described above with all the diodes of one polarity on one half of the wheel and the diodes of opposite polarity on the other half of the wheel, the fuses are similarly connected together. That is, all the fuses connected to diodes of one polarity are connected together by one connector 30 covering approximately half the circumference of the wheel, and the remaining fuses connected to diodes of opposite polarity are connected together by another connector 30 extending around the opposite half of the wheel and spaced from the first connector. Each fuse 15 is connected to its corresponding connector 30 by means of a screw 32 which connects the terminal 16 of the fuse to the connector 30. The two connectors 30 constitute the direct current output bussesof the rectifier assembly, and each connector 30 is electrically connected to an output lead 33 by means of screws 34. The leads 33 extend longitudinally of the shaft 4 and may be secured in place in any suitable manner. In the illustrated embodiment, the leads 33 are disposed in slots in a member 34 which may be a supporting sleeve or which may be a part of a coupling for connecting the shaft 4 to a flange on the generator shaft 5 to be driven thereby. The leads 33 extend through slots in the member 34 and are held therein by insulating wedges 35. The leads 33 may be connected to the generator field winding (not shown) by means of radial leads 36 in the usual manner.
The electrical circuit of the rectifier assembly 1 is shown schematically in FIG. 5. It will be noted that the three uppermost groups of diodes 13 are of one polarity with respect to the output lead 33 in which they are connected and the diodes 13 of the three lower groups are of opposite polarity with respect to their output lead 33. This corresponds to the physical arrangement of the diodes on the wheel 6 as described above. In order to constitute a three-phase rectifier bridge circuit one group of each polarity is connected to each phase of the exciter winding. Thus, one group of each polarity is connected by leads 26A to one exciter phase, another group of each polarity is connected by leads 268 to another phase, and the third group of each polarity is connected by leads 26C to the third phase.
A typical brushless excitation system is shown in FIG. 6 which further illustrates the manner in which the circuit of FIG. 5 forms the three-phase bridge circuit. As shown in FIG. 6, the excitation system includes an alternating current exciter 40 having a stationary field winding 41 excited from any suitable source of direct current and cooperating with the exciter armature winding 3. Two parallel leads are brought from each phase of the armature winding 3, the three sets of leads being designated 26A, 26B and 26C, respectively, and connected to the diodes of the rotating rectifier assembly 1 in the manner described above. It will be seen that a three-phase rectifier bridge circuit is thus provided, and the output leads 33 may be connected to the field winding 42 of the main alternating current generator 43 which is shown having a stationary armature winding 44.
It should now be apparent that a rotating rectifier assembly has been provided which has many advantages. The assembly is relatively compact and requires little axial space since the components of the rectifier circuit are arranged around the periphery of a rotatable support wheel. The assembly is thus simple and inexpensive and the number of components required is kept to a minimum. The design is such that the heat sinks themselves act as fan blades to cause a substantial flow of air through the space between the wheel 6 and the retaining ring 21 and thus a sufficient flow of air is provided for ventilation of the rotating exciter armature as well as the rectifier as well as the rectifier assembly itself. The necessity for a separate fan is thus eliminated. It will be understood of course that various other modifications and embodiments are possible. The diodes and fuses may be arranged and connected in any desired manner to suit different circuit configurations, as mentioned above, and two or more support wheels with rectifier assemblies could be utilized in tandem if desired for a higher capacity. Thus, various other embodiments and modifications are possible within the scope of the invention.

In a brushless excitation system, a rotatable rectifier assembly comprising: a circular support member adapted to be mounted on a shaft, a plurality of diode assemblies disposed about the periphery of the support member, each of the diode assemblies including a heat sink, a diode mounted on the heat sink and a fuse mounted on the heat sink, the heat sinks having a central recess engaging the periphery of the support member and being insulated therefrom, a retaining member engaging the heat sinks to hold them in position, means for making electrical connections to the diodes, and means for making electrical connections to the fuses.

E.U. no longer recognizes Gaddafi as Libya's leader but resists bolder steps
Friday, March 11, 2011; 9:51 PM
BRUSSELS - European governments declared Friday that Moammar Gaddafi can no longer be considered the leader of Libya and must step down immediately, but they stopped short of formally recognizing the Libyan rebel movement or endorsing military action to support its armed struggle.
The cautious steps, at an emergency European Union summit, represented a setback for President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, who had pushed for a bold stand that would put Europe more actively on the rebel side and encourage its ragtag fighters as they seek to beat back advancing counterattacks by Gaddafi's military.
To some extent, Sarkozy was joined by Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain in demanding a muscular stand and support for military preparedness. The two leaders had sent a letter to their E.U. colleagues Thursday appealing for a "clear political signal" from the summit. What emerged with the most clarity, however, was that a majority of the 27-nation European group, although sympathetic to the rebellion, was uncertain what steps to take to help the fight against Gaddafi.
After a day-long debate, the European leaders decided to qualify the rebel movement as a "political interlocutor" in Libya that they "welcome and encourage" in the battles under way in several Libyan cities. This fell well short of Sarkozy's proposal that the European Union join France in recognizing the Benghazi-based Libyan National Council as the country's legitimate representative.
The Europeans also endorsed contingency planning for "all necessary options," including the military options under study by NATO allies. But they declined to specify what actions they favored and underlined that any such moves would have to be shown to be necessary, have a legal basis and be endorsed by regional governments.
The continent's caution was similar to that displayed by the Obama administration in Washington. In fact, its language on the conditions for military action was taken from White House statements and NATO deliberations on the other side of Brussels.
On both sides of the Atlantic, leaders were waiting to see what comes of an Arab League meeting Saturday in Cairo and consultations underway at U.N. headquarters in New York for a possible Security Council resolution.
France has advocated robust planning for military operations, if necessary and if the Security Council approves. Sarkozy, explaining the E.U. stand, said what he and the other leaders have in mind as the trigger for any military operation is large-scale use of Gadaffi's military aircraft against civilian populations.
"What would people have said if Europe, even before thinking it over, had renounced all kinds of military action in Libya?" he asked.
In more than three weeks of fighting, Gaddafi's air force has mounted repeated attacks against rebel forces and strategic targets such as ammunition dumps or oil facilities. But no massive strikes have been reported so far against civilians.
A no-fly zone, one of the proposals most discussed, is not a practical solution because of its complexity in a large, desert country, Sarkozy said. And, he added, NATO is not the right group to consider solutions to the Libyan crisis because it is a military organization widely untrusted in the Arab world.
Several nations have hesitated at the prospect of military action. Russia and China, both permanent Security Council members with veto power, have indicated they would find it hard to support any foreign military intervention in Libya's crisis.

Fans went nuts over Obi Toppin’s big game for Knicks
Obi Toppin was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2020 draft but did not show a whole lot as a rookie. If Wednesday’s opener was any indication, his second year is going to be much different.
Toppin scored a career-high 14 points in his New York Knicks’ 138-134 double-overtime win over the Boston Celtics.
The Dayton Flyers product had some huge dunks that got the fans excited:

There was a time when folk-rocker Suzanne Vega, fresh out of studying theater in college, was auditioning for film roles, like the lead in “Miami Blues” or “Desperately Seeking Susan.” But the parts always went to other actresses who, she admits in retrospect, were better suited for them. So she gave up on the process and pursued music. She recently decided to revisit those earnest thespian days by writing her own script, revolving around one of her literary idols, Southern Gothic novelist Carson McCullers. In a seated show in The City this week – she’s playing songs from its whimsical Duncan-Sheik-co-penned soundtrack, “Lover: Beloved–Songs From an Evening With Carson McCullers.”
When did you first get into McCullers?
When I was a 11 or so, through a short story I found called “Sucker.” Not one of her better-known works, but I loved it. I loved the title, and I loved the dynamics between the two main characters, which are two adolescent boys. I’ve been a fan ever since.
Did that lead to her books, like “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter”?
Not right away. A few years later, I was in college, and I found a copy of her biography and I saw the photograph on the cover and thought, “Oh, that’s Carson McCullers.” I thought it was a man, but when I realized it was a woman, that intrigued me. Then I got an assignment from my teacher to come in dressed as someone in the arts who was no longer alive and be ready to field questions as though it was an interview. So I chose her, based on the photograph on that book.
She had a hard life. She began having strokes as a kid, and was half paralyzed by her early 30s.
Yeah. Exactly. But she had this spirit all the way through it. People think of her existence as dark, but if you look at it the opposite way, she lasted until she was 50 years old, and had this will to survive and to create. So I just have a lot of sympathy for her, her character, her wit and humor, and her ideals.
But “Lover: Beloved” is your second version of the play, right?
The first, “Carson McCullers Talks About Love,” was a 2011 production, and it ended up being a little more experimental than I was happy with. So I’ve torn that one up, and the 10 songs from this album are a preview of the play that’s coming out next year, “Lover: Beloved–An Evening With Carson McCullers.” It’s much more of a classic one-woman show, with songs and music in two acts.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse recently released data that
suggests that 30 percent of those who use marijuana may have some degree
of “marijuana use disorder.” They add that people who use marijuana
before age 18 are 4 to 7 times more likely to develop this use disorder
Researchers estimated that 4 million people in the United States met the criteria for marijuana use disorder in 2015. 138,000 voluntarily sought treatment.
The use disorder, according to researchers, can morph into an addiction when the person can’t stop using the drug even when it interferes with their daily activities.
The Canyon, a treatment center in Malibu, California, lists 10 signs that someone might have an addiction to marijuana. Among the signals is a growing tolerance for the drug’s effects, as well as using more marijuana than they initially intended to use.
Who becomes addicted to marijuana and why?
Genes are one strong predictor of developing an addiction, said Dr. Alex Stalcup, medical director of the New Leaf Treatment Center in Lafayette, California.
“When we look at the criteria for addiction, it has a lot to do with people tempering their behavior,” explained Carl Hart, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Columbia University in New York and author of “High Price,” in a 2016 interview with Healthline.
“It has a lot to do with responsibility skills. It’s not perfect, but when you look at the people who are addicted, and you look at people who have jobs and families, they have responsibilities, they’re plugged into their societies, they have a social network, the addiction rates within those kind of groups are dramatically decreased from people who are not plugged in with jobs, families, social networks.”
Those who don’t become addicted also tend to have more options.
“Most of us have a lot of choice in life of things that make us feel good,” said Gantt Galloway, PharmD, executive and research director of the New Leaf Treatment Center and senior scientist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute.
“Those who have fewer choices, who perhaps don’t have as rich a set of social interactions because their family life is difficult or because they have emotional problems that are stopping them from forming close friendships… those people may find drugs such as marijuana more attractive and be at greater risk for addiction.”
Mental health conditions, which have both genetic and environmental causes play a large one in a person’s chance of developing an addiction.
“Mental health is a huge risk factor for addiction,” said Stalcup. “Drugs work very well, at first, for mentally ill people. If you’re anxious, it’ll go away with a couple of hits, a beer. It’s like magic. But then, the tolerance sets in.
“So, not only do they need to drink more to relieve the anxiety, but every single time they try to stop, the underlying anxiety comes back worse. We conceptualize it as a biological trap. It works at first, it turns on you, it stops working, and then you still have a problem.”
Stalcup estimates that 50 to 60 percent of the people with an addiction to marijuana whom his clinic treats have some sort of underlying mental health condition. The majority of his clients have:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
first, marijuana offers a benefit. It makes the world more interesting
to counteract the loss of pleasure in depression. It soothes anxiety.
For those with PTSD who experience nightmares, it shuts down the process
by which dreams form in the brain.

Poker is a card game in which players bet money on the outcome of a hand. The goal is to win the pot by having the highest ranking hand at the end of the betting rounds. The game is often played with a standard deck of 52 cards. There are several different variants of the game, some with extra cards called jokers, but all have the same basic rules.
The game begins with the dealer shuffling and then cutting the cards. The player on their left then makes a forced bet, usually an ante or blind bet. After the shuffle and cut, players are dealt cards one at a time starting with the player to their left. Once all players have their cards the first of many betting rounds begin. During each betting round players can choose to call, raise, or fold.
When playing poker you need to be able to read the opponents in order to make good decisions. This is not as easy as it sounds, but the more you play and observe others the better you will get at picking up on subtle body language tells and reading their betting patterns. The key is to focus on the patterns and not so much on the individual action.
After the flop is revealed and the first round of betting has concluded the player with the highest hand will make their move. This will typically be a check, raise or call depending on the strength of their hand. Once you know the basics of how to read your opponents it is a matter of putting that knowledge into practice.
You should be aware that even if your hand is very strong you can still lose to an opponent with a better draw or more than you. This is why it is important to be patient and to only call or raise when you have a very strong hand.
When you bet in poker it is vital to keep the size of your bet in proportion with the amount of chips in the pot. If you bet too small you may find yourself facing a re-raise or a check-raise, which could cost you the pot. If you bet too big it will also cause you to get pot-committed to a weaker hand.
Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced player, it is always a good idea to study the game and learn from the experts. This will help you to improve your own skills and become a more consistent winner. For further information on the game of poker, I would suggest reading a book or joining a group of people who play regularly. This way you will learn the game quickly and be able to apply your new knowledge immediately. Good luck!

This veggie pesto bake is a wonderful summer recipe, especially using fresh basil from the garden!
I wanted to make this recipe for my family at the weekend. I found the photos in my archives from when I first shot the recipe last year for realfoodsource using their new ingredient range, but I couldn't find the actual recipe anywhere!
I have made variations on it - these sweet potato rostis in particular, so I knew the rough idea. I figured I'd have to wing it and hope for the best.... it turned out really well!
Instead of making it as squares as per the original photos, I cooked it in a square oven dish and served it up hot with a huge salad. The squares are still amazing though.
This is best made with spiralized veggies for a pretty ‘curly whirly’ effect but you could use a julienne peeler or a coarse grater. I used a mix of carrot, courgette and a little onion but you could use fewer or different ingredients such a sweet potato or parsnip if you prefer. You could also bake this mix into pre-portioned muffin cups.
To save time I used bought free-from pesto in a jar, but you could make your own, or use hummus with herbs added to it.
Recipe: Veggie pesto pine nut squares
Makes approx 12 squares (a brownie sized pan)
3 cups spiralized vegetables (I courgette, 2 medium carrots and 1 red onion)
¼ cup almond or cashew paste (optional)
1/2 cup vegan pesto (or regular pesto or hummus and fresh basil)
approx. ½ tsp salt (this may depend on the pesto etc used)
approx. 3 tbs water
A handful of extra fresh basil, roughly chopped
1 cup chickpea (gram) flour
¼ cup pine nuts (up to ½ cup more if preferred)
Spiralize or julienne the veggies, chop a little to avoid very long ribbons. Set aside.
Mix together the wet ingredients and add to the coat the veggies (taste test and add salt and pepper as desired). Add the gram flour last and mix to coat well. Add an extra splash of water if the mix doesn’t appear quite wet enough to coat evenly. Mix through the pine nuts now or set aside to press into the top if preferred.
Press the mix firmly into a lightly greased brownie sized tin- the mix should be approx 2cm thick. Smooth the top and press in the pine nuts. Bake at 180C for approx 25-30 mins until golden. Serve hot or allow to cool and cut into squares- great for lunchboxes or picnics when served cold. Will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.

Walmart QuadPay app update. With Walmart’s recent acquisition of a Canadian company called Walmart Consumer Direct, it is likely that the retail giant will be looking to expand its presence in Canada by offering its customers more ways to pay for their purchases. Walmart already has one store located in Canada, in Toronto, but the super giant plans to open additional stores in the coming years across the country.
What can Walmart QuadPay App do? The company is expected to offer its customers an array of new and innovative ways to pay for their items, whether it be in-store credit or debit cards, or even a new mobile payment service like Instacart. For now, the company is only allowing in-store credit to be used for purchasing Walmart merchandise, according to a spokesperson. The retail giant is still considering its options, but one thing is for certain: shoppers in Canada are likely to see more Walmart stores pop up in the near future. So, what are your chances of getting a card from this retailer?
According to analysts, there are several reasons why a potential buyer would use a Walmart application on an app of some kind. Customers shopping at the super giant are likely to use a mobile payment service because it allows them to make purchases without leaving their homes, which could be a problem in many areas that have access to slow internet or other unreliable wireless connections. In addition to that, the customer may also use the app to pay later for something they bought in-store, allowing them to make future purchases at any time and not just when they have money in their pocket. The ability to pay later for in-store products gives Walmart an advantage over competitors, especially in its Canadian store.
Walmart will most likely not be the first retail chain to offer a mobile payment app, but it will be one of the first to offer it across its full range of stores. In fact, it is already making waves in the industry by introducing its digital grocery cards across the country. These cards work just like an actual grocery card, allowing customers to load up their purchases with any items they wish and make payments at any time.
Walmart’s quadpay app makes it even easier for shoppers to complete their shopping because it offers them four installments instead of the standard three. This means that customers who pay right away will get their purchases paid for in full with Walmart, without having to worry about missing a payment or having a card debt.
Walmart Quadpay App – A Modern Method to Pay Later
When it comes to shopping at Walmart, the in-store option of their Walmart Premier membership has proven to be very effective. With more than 400 member stores across the United States, one can enjoy all the benefits that Walmart Premier offers including the free super saver benefits and an extensive variety of discounts. This has made shopping at Walmart a very popular experience for families and individuals who are looking to save money. In addition to acquiring a super saver discount, a customer can also enjoy additional discounts when purchasing a certain number of items with their Walmart Premier membership card. Walmart also offers additional incentives such as enrolling in the Walmart Afterpay program which allows a customer to get money back after they have used their card to make a purchase at a participating retailer.
However, the benefits of shopping at Walmart do not end there because the company is also offering the Pay Later app through which customers can pay for their purchases later using their smartphones or handheld apps. No one wants to have to wait in line or pay too much just to complete a purchase. Walmart has made it very easy for customers to pay later using the Pay Later app which makes it even easier for them to browse through the different products that they want and pay later via the Pay Later app.
The Pay Later app works just like any other mobile payment app by charging a small fee which is charged on a monthly basis. Once the user has paid the fee, they can set the time that they want to pay later and only pay for the items that they have bought during that time period. This app can also be used in the same manner as the in-store version and the process is exactly the same. Walmart has seen an overwhelming response from users of the Walmart Premier membership, which has further increased the opportunities for more stores to offer the Pay Later app. It is expected to launch in more locations over the next few months and is available in select cities now.
Walmart QuadPay App – Pay Later With Ease
Walmart QuadPay is a new credit card offered by Walmart. Is Walmart’s new card offer a lot of good stuff? If you have ever shopped at Walmart, you are already familiar with Walmart’s existing perks.
Their new Walmart prepaid credit card is available at many major retailers, big box stores, gas stations and over the Internet. It offers you the same rewards and benefits as a standard Walmart card. The main difference is that you do not need to have an existing balance to qualify for a Walmart quadpay. You can also use your Walmart debit card to make purchases at participating grocery store and supermarket locations. WalMart does not currently accept financing for this card.
You can save money with this new card offer by using it to make purchases and pay later online, just like you would pay later with your debit card. You will get a percentage of the purchase price back in your Walmart Afterpay account, after you complete your transaction. This offers great benefits to a repeat customer. Not only does the card give them the added convenience of being able to pay later, it also gives them the same benefits as cash and checks.
Applying for Walmart Quadpay Cash Credit
You’ve probably seen the new debit and credit cards from WalMart, with their interactive touch screen programs and other fun features, like downloading songs, videos and apps. If you’re shopping at a computer store, you might have seen the interactive WalMart QR code, and you may even have some of the physical cards themselves, without a url for future access.
Or maybe you’re thinking of shopping with your debit or credit card, but you don’t want to go through all the hassles of going into a store, loading the card up, and remembering again the number to call later, or having to carry around a bunch of plastic with numbers on it. In this case, you can choose to use a virtual credit and debit card, which are available at WalMart and many other retailers, like Best Buy or Target. The WalMart virtual card is a great way to pay later, without hassle.
If you are shopping on your phone, you can easily take the card to the cash register, print out your amount of purchase, and then put the card away to keep it safe until you need it. Then, you can take the same app that you used for the in-store payment and download it to your phone, to complete the transaction, just as if you were at an in-store location. And thanks to the new Walmart QAP application, customers can now pay with their phones through the app instead of their in-store cards. This allows the customer rates today to be much better than they might be otherwise.
What’s neat about using a Walmart coupon clipping application to pay for items with your phone is that you can also see policy and program details on their social media pages. That means you can get a feel for how they might process your application for any future credit or debit financing.
You can also see their terms and conditions for in-store financing, and you can see their current promotions, including those for their retail coupons, gift cards, and other merchandise. All of this will allow you to see what kind of financing they might offer for any purchases you have in mind.

§ Mr. MacGregor
There are at present 44 fish farms in England and Wales on which there are grounds for believing that the causative agent of whirling disease, (Myxosoma cerebralis), may be found. However, there may be other sites on which Myosoma cerebralis is also present at sub-clinical levels and has not been identified.
The known 44 sites are 42 of the 43 sites in England and Wales which I listed in my reply to the right hon. Member of 26 March 1984, at column 24, (excluding Mill Leat trout farm in Devon, where sufficient measures have been taken to eradicate the disease) and two additional sites in Clwyd, Wales and north Yorkshire.
My fish disease scientists are currently monitoring the occurrence of whirling disease in accordance with the 100W policies announced in the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Wantage (Mr. Jackson) on 27 February 1984, at column 2.
