It’s a bird, it’s a plane…it’s a falling re-entry capsule!
Varda Space Industries has successfully demonstrated the descent and landing capability of the re-entry capsule for its first microgravity factory test mission. The Varda team dropped the capsule out of an airplane over the Arizona desert to prep for its first mission, set to launch on Transporter-8 next year.
“This was our first major vehicle system test,” Varda cofounder and CEO Will Bruey told Payload. “I don’t really want to give the team a big ego, so I’ll downplay it and say that they absolutely crushed it.”
All about Varda
The El Segundo, CA-based startup was founded 18 months ago with a vision for microgravity manufacturing. Rather than replicating Earthly manufacturing processes in orbit, Varda’s value proposition is to utilize the microgravity environment to build things—like certain pharmaceuticals and bioprinted products—that can’t be fabricated in gravity.
The company has raised more than $50M in VC funding to date to build its microgravity factories. These factories are integrated onto Rocket Lab’s Photon satellite platform, and consist of the microgravity production environment and a re-entry capsule for shuttling finished products back down to Earth.
Bruey believes that once Varda can manufacture its first products in space, it’ll kick off the flywheel for lowering the cost of manufacturing in orbit, making it economically feasible to build new types of things in space. “You get this positive feedback loop where the number of products that we can make just continuously increases and the cost of doing so continuously decreases,” Bruey said.
The drop test
The Varda team made the choice to test the full vehicle rather than just the pieces necessary to test the parachute and landing procedures.
That choice meant that the team could gather a lot of data about the actual flight design—a major pro. “The cons, of course, are that if it doesn’t work, then you spent a lot of work figuring out that it just doesn’t work, and you get a little splat situation on the desert floor,” said Bruey. “It was Varda’s first must-work experience.”
The team dropped the capsule from an airplane at an altitude of ~13,000 feet above sea level. In freefall, the capsule reached terminal velocity at ~120 mph, and then deployed its parachutes at ~3,500 feet above sea level. The capsule survived the fall with no structural damage and was successfully retrieved by the team.
The markers of success
Varda’s first microgravity factory is slated for launch aboard Transporter-8 in early 2023. “Our mission success criteria for this first mission is simply to get the capsule back,” Bruey said.
There’s a stretch goal too, though. The Varda team is building a payload that could test microgravity manufacturing on that first mission as well as re-entry. “The trains always leave on time,” Bruey said. “If the payload’s not ready for the first mission, it’ll just get on the second one.”

In Lincoln, Nebraska, school is in session. And for the first time ever, students and teachers are in the classrooms of Marilyn Moore Middle School. It’s Lincoln Public School’s (LPS) newest facility located at 84th Street and Yankee Hill Road. The school is part of a multifaceted project, which includes a new YMCA and Lincoln Parks and Recreation facilities.
Five years ago, the site known as Jensen Park was nearly 100 acres of farm land given as a gift to Lincoln Parks and Recreation. At the time, LPS knew it would soon need a new middle school for the rapid housing and business growth in southeast Lincoln. A combined project with a new middle school and YMCA facility had just opened in north Lincoln. The model was working well and both LPS and the YMCA hoped it could be replicated.
An idea came to Olsson Executive Vice President John Olsson to get LPS, the YMCA, and Lincoln Parks and Recreation together to talk about the future of the site and how the three parties might work together to develop the site. A joint planning charrette was proposed, and the three parties agreed to consider what they wanted and needed on the site.
“This type of project truly shows what we’re capable of from beginning to end,” said Erin Bright, project manager. “From our leaders bringing the agencies together, to showing our design experience and a variety of services, this is exactly the type of work we enjoy doing.”


Board votes against charter school plan
Baptist pastor had proposed academy
West Bend — The School Board voted 4-3 Monday against entering contract negotiations with a Baptist pastor who had proposed starting a publicly funded charter school that some feared would improperly involve religious teachings.
Crossroads Academy had been proposed by Bruce Dunford, pastor at the First Baptist Church in West Bend, as an alternative to the educational options already available in the West Bend School District.
Dunford distinguished his school as centering on values supported by parents but not protected in the public school system. School District administrators have charged that the curriculum suggested by the school was no different than could be found at a parochial school with evangelical Christian leanings.
Both the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin and Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation also raised concerns about a possible religious purpose for the publicly funded school, which would violate the U.S. Constitution.
District administrators and board members also raised concerns about the drain that a new school could pose to existing funds.
Dunford denied that the school would teach religion in violation of the law and said that the school would educate students for less money than the district spends per pupil.
According to West Bend Assistant Superintendent Ted Neitzke, the board members voting in favor of negotiating with the school were Randy Marquardt, Dave Weigand and Tim Stepanski, who is a deacon at Dunford's church. Voting against negotiations were board members Kris Beaver, Joe Carlson, Bruce Koenig and Todd Miller.
About 200 people were in the audience for Monday's board meeting, Neitzke said.

STONE MOUNTAIN - A school board outside Atlanta is planning a meeting to discuss the departure of its superintendent.
DeKalb County school board members say they will meet at 4:30 p.m. Friday to discuss Cheryl Atkinson's resignation.
Spokeswoman Lillian Govus says Atkinson and school board members on Thursday decided a mutual separation agreement was in the best interest for everyone involved.
Atkinson's resignation will be effective Feb. 8 and a separation agreement school board members must vote on requires the district to pay her more than $114,500 over the next five months. The agreement also requires Atkinson to participate in any legal matters related to her tenure as superintendent.
The district was placed on probation through the end of 2013 by an accreditation agency after officials found evidence of fiscal mismanagement and unethical practices.

“Leftists do not play by the rules of balanced discourse. Instead, they wield their power to suppress any ideology that contradicts their narrative, especially those rooted in Christianity or conservative values. This overreach is more than just a threat to individuals like David Bloch; it’s a threat to the very fabric of our society, undermining the foundational freedoms upon which our nation was built.”
(The Dissenter) In the case of David Bloch, a snowboarding coach at Woodstock Union High School in Vermont, we see a textbook example of discrimination fueled by today’s cultural and political biases. Bloch, who not only founded the school’s snowboarding team but also spearheaded its success since 2011, was unceremoniously fired. The trigger for this unjust dismissal? A mere casual conversation with two students, during which Bloch stated the obvious: that there are inherent biological differences between males and females, particularly in the realm of sports.
The details of this conversation reveal the absurdity of the opposition to Bloch’s remarks. He merely pointed out the well-documented and scientifically supported fact that men and women, on average, have different physical capabilities due to biological differences. This is not a controversial or radical statement—it is a basic acknowledgment of human physiology and has significant implications in the world of sports. In most athletic contexts, these differences give males a physical advantage over females, an observation backed by countless studies and empirical evidence.

Editor's Note: This interview was conducted by Kimberly Abbott, Communications Director for North America at the International Crisis Group.
Burhanuddin Rabbani, the former Afghan president and chief government negotiator with the Taliban, was killed in a Kabul bomb blast. Candace Rondeaux, Crisis Group's Senior Analyst for Afghanistan, analyzes the repercussions for peace talks. The following is a transcript of the Q&A:
This evening, there was news of an explosion in central Kabul, downtown Kabul, in Wazir Akbar Khan, in a neighborhood known for a lot of dignitaries, including Burhanuddin Rabbani who was of course the former president of Afghanistan and the chair of the High Peace Council, who was deeply involved in talks to the Taliban, trying to arrange some sort of reconciliation deal. It appears that he had arranged a meeting, along with his counterpart Minister Stanekzai, with a member of the Quetta Shura who arrived at his house for a very informal meeting and apparently had a bomb strapped underneath his turban, and when he went to shake Rabbani’s hand the bomb went off, and that was that.What was Rabbani's role in negotiating with the Taliban?
Mr. Rabbani, of course, was a towering figure in Afghan history in the sense that he had, like many, survived so much, and for 30 years he had been at the forefront of Afghan politics. He had been the president, of course. He was also very close to many of the front-runners who were part of the opposition running against Karzai during the presidential elections. Last year, he was selected to head the High Peace Council by President Karzai in the hopes that by bringing a Tajik on, that somehow this might bridge the gap between those in the Northern Alliance who believed that the ethnic divisions between the Taliban, who are largely Pashtuns, and non-Pashtuns were too deep to bridge.
The hope was that somehow Rabbani could bring some legitimacy to the process. He was very deeply involved in running the council, going back and forth to different countries trying to broker deals in Iran and Pakistan, and trying to get regional support for the process. In many ways, however, the Council itself is really a symbolic body. It didn’t have a lot of power, and so in some ways Rabbani was taking a risk in endeavoring to be engaged on this issue, because there was no guarantee that this council was really going to deliver the peace deal that was so much hoped for.
Coming on the heals of the attacks last week in Kabul on the U.S. Embassy and ISAF, also following on the news of a possible deal in which the Taliban might get a political office in Qatar, this certainly seems to signal the end or perhaps the paralysis of what was a very shaky peace process. I think that there were a lot of doubters out there as to whether anything could actually be brokered by the High Peace Council. I certainly think that this will frighten a number of members of the Peace Council. I would not be at all surprised to see some of them walk away form this and say they don’t want any part of it. Hopefully, what it will do in the long run will be that it will force policymakers, particularly in the Karzai administration and in the White House, to really reconsider how they are going to go about engaging with the Taliban in the future.
We've now seen two major strikes in Kabul in less than a week. What does this say about the insurgency's capacity and influence?
Its very disturbing and I think for most ordinary Afghans, the effect will be withdrawal from the political process. When you can hit somebody like Rabbani, when you can hit somebody like Ahmed Wali Karzai, when you can assassinate leaders at will, this is a very strong signal that the government does not have the capacity to secure its citizens. These two attacks, coming right on top of each other they way they have, really signal that this government is in no position the begin talks with the Taliban–and in fact, probably should reconsider all of its policies where the Taliban are considered.

Contact tracing, mass testing caused rise in Lapu’s cases
DRMMO chief assures Oponganons that COVID situation in city totally under control
CEBU CITY, Philippines — The increasing number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases in the past few days were the results of our contact tracing and the city’s recent rapid mass testing.
Nagiel Bañacia, Lapu-Lapu DRRMO head, said this during a phone interview with CDN Digital as he assured that the COVID-19 situation in the city was totally under control.
Bañacia’s made the assurance to ease concerns about the increasing number of cases in the city highlighted by Saturday’s increase where hours only of Banacia’s posted that the city’s total cases stood at 154, Mayor Junard Chan announced that there were 6 more cases in the city increasing the total number to 160.
Read more: Six new COVID-19 cases in Lapu-Lapu on June 13
Bañacia said that the increase in the numbers of new COVID-19 cases in the city was due to their contact tracing done from earlier of persons infected by the virus.
“Ang cases are caused by contact tracing. We don’t have new cases, katong mga previous case then contact tracing nipuno sila sa mga patients,” said Bañacia.
(This is caused by the contact tracing that we have done, these are not new cases, these are the cases from the those earlier diagnosed patients which we have conducted the contact tracing.)
Read more: Lapu exceeds target for rapid mass testing
Aside from that, he also attributed some of the cases as those who tested positive during the recent rapid mass testing conducted by the city.
“In short dili siya alarming, kasagaran expected gyud siya kay sa contact tracing. In general, we are under control,” he added.
(In short, this is not an alarming case, most of which is expected since it has been from the contact tracing. In general, we are under control.)
He said that the COVID-19 situation in the city was under control because the team had spent more time in community engagements and information drive to each barangays about the virus.
Aside from that, he said that the DRRMO was also monitoring common illnesses that could spread among communities like measles, common cold, and dengue fever. /dbs

Jodi Christie must really enjoy riding at Atlantic Motorsport Park.
A year after securing his first career Mopar Canadian Superbike championship race at the Shubenacadie track, Christie held off Jordan Szoke in a dramatic Superbike race Sunday afternoon to claim his second straight win at the venue.
“I’m so happy to be up here again,” the 22-year-old Christie, who finished second to Szoke in the opening two races of the 2014 Superbike season, said in a news release.
“It’s almost a relief. I feel I’ve had the best bike all year and just failed to execute for the team. So this is like redemption for me.”
Christie is only the seventh rider to successfully defend his title at AMP in 26 years.
The Keene, Ont., rider made a final-lap, last-corner pass of Szoke to snatch a 0.109-second victory. Christie, who pulled to within 13 points of Szoke in the season standings, completed the 22-lap race around the 2.56-kilometre AMP circuit in 25 minutes, 33.871 seconds for an average speed of 132.18 km/h.
Franklyn Dominguez of St-Lazare, Que., was third, followed by Kristopher Garvie of Caledon, Ont., and Trevor Daley of Mississauga, Ont.
Beaver Bank’s Ron Munroe and Crowdis Roberts of Dartmouth did not start.
The AMP stop is the third of four on the tour this year.
• Falmouth spitfire Jacob Shaw-O’Leary won two Honda 250 national series features on the weekend at AMP.
After winning the 12-lap race on Saturday, Shaw-O’Leary followed up on Sunday to lead all dozen laps and win for the second day in a row.
The 14-year-old finished 12.63 seconds clear of Eric Quintin of Notre Dame de L’Ile Perrot, Que. Quintin made a superb charge from eighth after he ran off track on the opening lap. Quintin placed second in both races.
Shaw-O’Leary closed to within a point of the class lead. Quintin has 270 points followed by Shaw-O’Leary at 269. Cameron Walker of Oakville, Ont., is third (217).
Note: Matt Covey of Pine Grove finished fourth in the Honda 600 Sport Bike race, which was won by Daley.

From the College Manual of Prayers (1959)
O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, you revealed to St. Margaret Mary your desire to rule over Christian communities. Behold, in order to please you, we stand before you this day, to proclaim your full sovereignty over our College. We desire henceforth to live your life; we desire that the virtues to which you have promised peace on earth, may flower in the bosom of our College. We desire to keep far from us the spirit of the world, which you have condemned. You are King of our minds by the simplicity of our faith. You are the King of our hearts by our love for you alone, with which our hearts are on fire, and whose flame we shall keep alive by receiving the Holy Eucharist. Be pleased, O Sacred Heart to preside over our gathering together, to bless our spiritual and temporal affairs, to ward off all annoyance from us, to hallow our joys, and comfort our sorrows. If anyone of us has ever been so unhappy as to fall into the misery of displeasing you, gram that he may remember, O Heart of Jesus, that you are full of goodness and mercy toward the repentant sinner. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the glorious Patriarch St. Joseph vouchsafe to offer you this our act of consecration and to keep the memory thereof alive in all of us. Glory to the Heart of Jesus. our King and our Father!
V. Jesus, meek and humble of Heart.
R. Make our hearts like unto Thine.
Let us pray. O most Holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

I'll adopt the orphanage, says Madonna
Published: 17 April 2007
But now Madonna has gone even further on her mission to Malawi – by hinting that she might take over an entire orphanage.
Scroll down for more...
The 48-year-old announced she was planning to run the Home of Hope orphan village, where her son David Banda used to live.
She revealed the idea to the hundreds of youngsters who sang when she visited the centre in Mchinji.
She said: "I might take over the orphanage because the pastor here is getting old and is about to retire."
She added: "If Malawians will work hand in hand with me I will still help Malawi."
The Home of Hope village was set up in 1998 by the Reverend Tompson Chipeta, a retired Presbyterian minister who was an orphan himself.
Madonna, who is visiting Malawi with daughter Lourdes, ten, and 18-month-old David, is also planning to build a home for her family in Malawi.
She plans to spend up to a month a year there overseeing the orphanage, hospital and farming projects she is helping to fund.
She is using her current trip to Africa to look for a suitable piece of land on which to build her plantation.
She will meet planners, farmers and environmentalists with a view to building a self-sufficient estate powered by sustainable energy.
Her plans will go some way to dispelling the negative publicity that followed her adoption of baby David in October.
She was criticised over the speed of the adoption and for being chauffeurdriven in and out of five-star hotels.
A source close to the star said: "She was terribly hurt over the criticism surrounding the adoption. She felt the coverage was very damaging.
"She simply could not understand where all the negativity was coming from but she has reacted in a pragmatic way by throwing herself further into projects to help the country."

Six structures across Kaduna town and environs belonging to followers of Sheikh Ibrahim el-Zakzaky, known as Shi’ites, have been demolished by operatives of the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority (KASUPDA). DAILY POST reports.
Yunusa Lawal, while briefing newsmen on Sunday in Kaduna, explained that the structures demolished include schools, a hospital and a private residence, among others.
KASUPDA demolished Kawo, Rigasa, Tudun Wada and Ungwan Rimi, using security personnel to chase out the occupants of the buildings belonging to Shi’ites.
Yunusa Lawal lamented, “We’re being pushed to the wall.”
He further explained that the demolition was not only illegal but vindictive, as the only reason given by the government was that their movement was banned.
The spokesman said that they were never served with any notice to know the reason for the demolition, stressing that they do not know the location of the remaining 42 structures they planned to demolish.
He added that the only reason they saw in the leaked memo is that they are a proscribed movement, but said that they are a religious community and cannot be banned.
He said they cannot fold their arms as they are bonafide citizens of Nigeria, stressing, “el-Rufai is not a better citizen than us.

I had been using a version of Photoshop that was probably a year old. Thursday, the cc updated it to the newest version automatically. Since then the performance has been horrendous and I've had an extrememly difficult time managing workflow.
-slow tool changes
-stutters and slow to create new layers
-stutters and slow to delete layers
-massive drawing delays zoomed in
-unable to change drawing mode in gpu settings
-tools switch back and forth between the last selected and current on its own
-gpu options greyed out
-and who knows what else.
My system is more than capable of handling these files as the previous day everything was working perfectly. In the updated version, I would have no pen pressure if I turned windows ink off.
I ended up having to edit the settings with the UseSystemStylus 0 work around.

Speed Camera Toll Revealed
6:02am 18th March 2013
Pirate FM can reveal Cornwall's speeding hotspots.
The A30 camera at Roseworthy Dip near Camborne has snapped the most drivers since 2011.
Almost sixteen hundred have gone through it too fast.
You can scroll down to read the rest of the top ten busiest cameras in the Duchy below.
Emma from Hayle ended up on a speed awareness course when she was caught. She reckons it is not worth the risk: "We had to take on the roles of how we would feel if we were the mother of the person who had been speeding or the girlfriend of the person who had died. It was a real eye opener. At the end of the day you could never live with yourself if you had killed somebody.
"There were all different walks of life there. We're all guilty of it - it isn't just young boys in fast cars.
"Going on the course and seeing those graphic details has made me really think - and it's just not worth it."
Natalie Hatswell from Peninsula Road Safety Partnership has told Pirate FM fewer people seem to be speeding: "We would love to have have zero figures coming back but looking at the top one, Roseworthy Dip on the A30 - that equates to just over two a day. That's not an awful lot when you look at it in that context."
1 A30 Roseworthy Dip east, 1579
2 A38 Notter Bridge west, 1525
3 A390 Doubletrees, St Blazey, 1239

With the Covid-19 pandemic hopefully on the decline, wedding venue’s phones have been ringing off the hook. Some venues are booked until 2023 already! I would like to share some tips for getting great wedding photos from a wedding photographer Lancashire.
I have been capturing images for couples at wedding s for over 3 decades, and here are some things I have learned in that time:
If you have the right wedding photographer, the venue is not the be all and end of getting great shots on the big day, although it does help in some instances. Having a range of locations for all the various shots that you want is a big plus. There is a big variety of locations now that have been setup as wedding venues, we have the more traditional Barns or big mansion houses but more quirky places such as old disused train stations, theaters, large aquariums, private beaches, and everything in between. In Liverpool, there are a few places you may not have considered such as an old rum warehouse or the botanical gardens. The wellbeing farm which is also in Lancashire where you can get your photos with llamas if your heart desires or the Victoria Baths in Manchester, which was an old swimming pool from the start of the 20th century.
A lot of people have marquees setup in a garden which can create some great shots too. No matter what your budget is, you can create some fantastic images for your wedding album with a little bit of planning. Do not forget to ask your wedding photographer if they have any ideas, after all, they go to weddings all the time!
Some shots you may like to consider and change to suit your needs are:
Large group shots:
Is there a big lawn area or an elevated position that the photographer can stand to get a big group shot? Having a shot of all the people who have come to the wedding is a great reminder of your big day. If not, ask the photographer if they are willing to improvise, maybe they could stand on a table or you could arrange to a way to elevate the photographer safely.
Intimate, more private shots of the couple:
These shots are supposed to be of just the happy couple but can obviously include friends and family as desired. They could be out in a natural setting or inside a nicely decorated room or enclave. Does the venue have nice gardens or is there a nice tree or feature on the property? Places like hotels or stately homes often have grand rooms like libraries or dining rooms that could be used.
Setup a photobooth style area:
A photobooth is a great way to get guests more involved with the photographic process at your wedding. Rather than having photos taken in the more usual relaxed style of most weddings, your guests come in groups or alone, however they please to sit in a photobooth and have a couple of candid shots taken of them. You could even buy some props to liven the photos even more.
Using the environment to your advantage, you can create some great, unforgettable shots of your big day. Try to think outside the box and give your wedding photographer Lancashire some ideas that you may have, having been to the venue, you may have just spotting a great place for some of your photos to be taken. You never know, they might end up being your favourites.

This is fast becoming my signature violin model! I made it for the first time last year as a commission for a front-desk player in the Hallé Orchestra; I thought it would meet her requirements, and I love its quirky charm and asymmetry. There are many aspects of the design which work especially well to create a sound which is rich and warm but also responsive and sparkly when needed.
The original violin is in the collection of the Royal Academy of Music, and I was lucky to be granted access to measure and photograph it, so each time I’ve made it I can refer back to my drawings and images.
This time the violin is a commission from a talented young player from Reading, who learns with the owner of one of my violins; she thought the quality of sound of my instruments would suit him well. Henry came to try the previous violin of this model that I made, and he and his parents were happy enough to commission one for him.
As ever, I’ve started by making the rib assembly. The ribs are strips of maple planed to 1mm thick, bent using heat and glued to the blocks which are recessed into the mould. Once all the ribs are glued into place, I fit the linings, small counter-strips of spruce which increase the eventual gluing surface with the back and front.
While the glue dries on the various rib joints, I’ve worked on the scroll. This is also made from maple.
Now it’s time to start work on the back and front. I offered Henry a choice of wood for the back, sending him photos of pieces of maple which I thought would work well both visually and acoustically for his violin. He picked this striking one-piece back, which I bought in 2018 when it was already, I guess, about 50 years old. The front came from the same source and is equally old, a lovely even-grown piece of spruce. The picture shows the outlines finalised and the arching roughly shaped.
This done, I then fit the purfling, the decorative inlay round the edge of the violin. I make this myself, a sandwich of willow between two strips of pear wood dyed black. First I cut a channel round the edge of the plates, then bend and trim the purfling to fit. Once the purfling has been glued into place, I start the work to finalise the arching, sinking a channel around the edge of the back and front with the purfling near the lowest point. This gives the definition to the edges and the lovely curves of the arching rise from it.

Bob, until a PCMCIA or USB network connection is supported
a last resort would be PPP and a null modem connection to a
serial port on a router/server. The biggest disadvantage
is the effort to configure the router/server system.

Record Dow, record S&P, record debt, record plunge in gold, and now: record US households on foodstamps. What's not to like. While today's gold selloff may be confusing to everyone, one can scratch off some 23,087,886 US households, or the number that according to the USDA were on foodstamps in January and just happen to be a fresh all time high, as the likely sellers, especially when one considers that the average monthly benefit to each household dropped to a record low of $274.04. This number probably ignores, for good reason, the once every four years fringe benefits of Obamaphones and other such made in China trinkets.
Until the moment she actually sinks, the Titanic is unsinkable.--Julia Hughes
The rapidity of gold's drop is impressive, concerning, and disorderly. We have seen two other such instances of disorderly 'hurried' selling in the last five years. In July 2008, gold quickly dropped 21% - seemingly pre-empting the Lehman debacle and the collapse of the western banking system. In September 2011, gold fell 20% in a short period - as Europe's risks exploded and stocks slumped prompting a globally co-ordinated central bank intervention the likes of which we have not seen before. Given the almost-record-breaking drop in gold in the last few days, we wonder what is coming?
If I Provide Proof That The Entire Irish Banking System Is A Sham, Does It Set Up A Much Needed System Reboot? Let's Go For It..Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 04/15/2013 10:19 -0500
If this article, in particular its conclusion, doesn't go viral throghout the EU, then the European media, analyst and regulatory community has #FAIED! its denizens!
According to Central Banker thinking, if something doesn’t work for 20 years the only answer is to do even more of it. So the Bank of Japan attempted a “shock and awe” move with an unprecedented QE equal to $1.2 trillion. Japanese bonds, already strained as investments by the demographic and economic issues plaguing Japan, have since become extremely volatil
Previously, levered hedge funds were forced to sell gold on stock margin calls. How long until today's gold plunge, the largest 2-day drop in the past 30 years, forces funds to start selling stocks to meet margin clerks vocal demands some time around 2pm today?
Europe remains in a critical state - despite the protestations of its leadership and the indications of its nepotistic bond markets. Unconventional monetary operations have enhanced liquidity, but have done little-to-nothing to solve the real issue - insolvency. As Jassaud and Hesse note, vulnerabilities remain; as reliance on central-bank liquidity is still high especially for banks in peripheral countries. Assets continue deteriorating and remain on banks’ balance sheets, weighing on profitability. Non-performing loans (NPLs) in EU banks continue to soar, drastically outpacing loan growth. Since 2007, loans to the 'real' economy have decreased by 3% while NPLs increased by almost 150%, i.e., €308 billion in absolute terms. This trend shows no sign of reversal, reflecting the continued macro deterioration in parts of the EU and the absence of restructuring (until the new 'template'). Between these soarng NPLs, Germany's new template, and the relative size of gold holdings among the troubled European nations, we suspect the social farbic will contonue to tear a little more.
For the fourth month in a row, NAHB's sentiment index missed expectations. With 'real' data on the housing recovery beginning to fade, we now see confidence in the sustainability of the 'recovery' starting to fade. Today's NAHB print is the lowest in six months and is the fastest 3-month drop since June 2011.
There is blood running in the gold market this morning after vicious selling which began on Friday afternoon and continued in Asian trading and through into European trading. Gold has fallen another 4.4% today after a huge number of stop loss orders were triggered at $1,480/oz pushing gold lower. Reports suggest that a futures sell order worth $6 billion, equal to 4 million ounces or 124.4 tonnes of gold, by a large investment bank sent prices plummeting and spooked the markets contributing to the decline. The order was believed to have been placed through Merrill Lynch's brokerage team. Gold futures with a value of over 400 tonnes were sold in hours and this is equal to 15% of annual gold mine production. The scale of the selling was massive and again underlines how one or two large banks or hedge funds can completely distort the market by aggressive, concentrated leveraged short positions. It may again be the case that bullion banks with large concentrated short positions are manipulating the price lower as has long been alleged by GATA. Those with concentrated short positions may also have been concerned about the significant decline in COMEX gold inventories. The plunge in New York Comex’s gold inventories since February is a reflection of increased demand for the physical metal and concerns about counter party risk with some hedge funds and institutions choosing to own gold in less risky allocated accounts.
If you make …errr print….money, you are good. Everything else is breaking down.
Just four days ago we noted the 'endgame' scenario that JCP appears to be heading in as they looked to raise new capital. It would appear things have escalated a little more quickly than hoped. Amid chatter of vendor concerns and what appears to be a slower process than they hoped for raising capital, the firm announced today, that "the Company has drawn $850 million out of its $1.85 billion committed revolving credit facility. Proceeds will be used to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures, including the replenishment of inventory levels in anticipation of the completion of its newly renovated home departments next month." More worrisome is the fact that the firm managed to extract only $850 million on $2.3 billion in Inventory: while not completely worthless as we first suspected, it appears JPM is only willing to give JPM credit for about a third of its inventory at liquidation value. Remember that the revolver it is the cheapest financing JCP has in palce which raises the question - why not draw more? Ask JPM.
As if the world needed yet another confirmation that the US economy is floundering (even if it means a new all time high for the now largely laughable farce formerly known as the S&P500), it just got it courtesy of the April Empire Fed Mfg Index, which dropped for the second month in a low to the lowest since January, printing at just 3.05, down from 9.24, and well below expectations of 7.00. Supposedly this too will be blamed on either balmy April weather, or Easter. The key New Orders index dropped from 8.18 to 2.20, which in itself may be insufficient to push the S&P to new all time highs, so the Shipments drop from 7.76 to 0.75 should definitely top the ES well into the green. The only piece of bad news for the "market" was the Number of Employees, which rose from 3.23 to 6.82. Although this may be one of those reports where bad data is great, but good data is greater.
The first time the Status Quo/Troika tried to force a (not so) stealthy gold confiscation on an insolvent European country was back in early 2012, when as part of the most recent Greek bailout MOU, it was disclosed that "Greece’s lenders will have the right to seize the gold reserves in the Bank of Greece under the terms of the new deal." However, the public outcry was so loud that the Troika had no choice but to shelve its plans and proceed with a full scale bondholder restructuring instead. Fast forward to last week, when Europe's appetite for physical gold came back with a bang, this time as part of the Cyprus "Debt Sustainability Analysis", and subsequent comments from Mario Draghi, demanding that tiny Cyprus, whose opposition, already weakened by the confiscation of uninsured deposits would be far less vocal than Greece's, sell off €400MM, or virtually all of its sovereign gold, over 10 of its 13.9 total tons, to cover the excess costs of its ever ballooning sovereign bailout. So who's next? It remains to be seen, although we are certain there will be a very clear correlation between the next country to see its gold "purchased" by the status quo, likely some time in the next 1-3 months, and the amount of total non-performing loans on said country's bank balance sheets. The usual suspects are presented below. And, in the parlance of Goldman Sachs, these countries better scramble to sell, sell, sell now before gold hits 0, or maybe even goes negative.

From our veranda I kept an eye out over the entire of Cape Town and, of course Table Mountain. There wasn’t much to look at, whatever was under contract. In reality, Cape Town has a flair of lapping up award after award.
Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, makes an excellent base from which to check out the North Island. This city has everything you could want from a city: food, beverage, style, home entertainment.

It is truly splendid – for this and other reasons, residential or commercial property is extremely Cape Town Travel highly priced – if not the most expensive in South Africa. However being here, just makes you seem like you are on vacation. Every aspect of the location is fresh and rejuvenating.
Diving is likewise a great experience for the visitor to Plettenberg Bay. Diving courses are offered and after completing your course you can go out and dive a few of the wrecks found off the coast of Plett. Boating up the Keurbooms River is a terrific method to spend the afternoon. There are lots of grunter and cob to catch in the river. Remember to buy your fishing licence from the post office or regional parks board workplace. Take a walk through the charming little town. Plett has excellent dining establishments to take pleasure in. What’s great about the majority of the restaurants in Plett is that they all have a terrific view over the ocean.
Call the lodging’s regional contact number (it’ll probably be a 508 area code). The individual who answers will likely be a “regional”, and might even be the owner. Ask about the accommodations, the location, and anything else that’s on your mind.
Now I’m absolutely sure that all this implies something if you a polar bear, and this is not to minimize their situation, however I am not a polar bear and do take a trip periodically on long haul flights, and so a little miffed at paying the additional surcharge for long haul flights when some Cape Town Attractions brief haul flights cost less than the beer long run travelers can’t manage at the airport!
We chose Cape Town Hotels that we ‘d need to check out the view from atop Table Mountain. We took a trip by cable car, which was frightening and thrilling all at the exact same time. Being afraid of heights I attempted to sidetrack myself with the view. Joe kept trying to encourage me that cable automobiles are safe, that the chances of a cable snapping is absolutely no to none, but still, putting your trust in a manufactured object really doesn’t make much sense to me, unless it was made by me naturally. When we eventually reached the summit, it was Joe who was the one feeling ill. In his attempt to try and calm me down, he was battling with his own little worry of heights. He recuperated in no-time as we enjoyed the view from the leading nevertheless. It was as assured: absolutely breathtaking.
South Africa has among the world’s worst records for automobile mishaps, so drive with caution. Keep your distance from lorries in front. Look out for cars and trucks coming directly at you while they are surpassing other cars. You are anticipated to pull over onto the paved shoulder – where there might be individuals strolling. Cape Town has a couple of customs of the roadway all its own. For example, minibus cabby presume they have the access at all times. They will cut you off and run traffic lights with impunity. Be very mindful approaching a highway in Cape Town. The on-ramps typically lead straight into the fast lane, and many regional motorists won’t slow down to let you in. Freeway signs also don’t offer much caution of the off-ramps. Plan your trip, so you know where you’re going.
The most current Census reports that there are 1500 lions, 5000 giraffes, 900 leopards, 3000 hippos and 7500 elephants at Kruger. The Kruger Park is especially well-known for the” Big Five” of wildlife: the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the rhino and the wild buffalo. In a world where we keep hearing “animal extinct” news every other day, Kruger IS a breather.
Standing on Cape Point overlooking the ocean on a clear day is a memorable experience. They had flags showing how lots of fish they had actually captured that day. After breakfast, Joe and I walked down to Greenmarket Square.

Social media became a major part of everyone’s life. People share content to connect to their peers, support their favorite artists, and share their thoughts with the rest of the world. So, today every brand may leverage this opportunity to generate leads and boost their online presence as well.
With almost 4 billion social media users throughout all social platforms and the average user utilizing a few social platforms monthly, undoubtedly social media offers possibilities for businesses. The ideal way to do that is by creating and posting engaging content.
In this article, we share some expert tips on how to create social media content that appeals to the audiences and engages with them.
Don’t just copy content from different websites. Instead, offer value with your own distinctive content. That will help you stick out from the crowd and attract readers to become engaged followers.
You can write and post blog articles about your brand and products or services on social media to boost traffic to your website. Lists, carefully selected content, weekly summaries, how-to articles, updates, and case studies are common blog content subjects that are broadly shared on social media.
Every social platform has its own benefits depending on your objective, content variety, and audience. If you’re acknowledging your engagement isn’t where you’d like it to be, consider reviewing your social media objective and overall KPIs. Surely, knowing which days you gain the most engagement helps you achieve your objective faster.
When experts analyzed the data for social networks, they noticed that the best times for engagement are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9 to 10 a.m. Midweek mornings turned out to be the best time across most social platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter.
Every social network reported variable ranges of engagement during the rest of the days and at unusually different times. So, for example, if your brand is using TikTok the most for advertising, then you should find out what’s the best time to post on TikTok before you post your next content.
Excessive hashtags or hashtags which aren’t relevant may reduce the likelihood of engagement and disrupt your content strategy.
Hashtags are intended to help you reach users across social media. However, if you’re utilizing hashtags that users don’t follow or hashtags that aren’t related to your content, you can’t reach the largest audience possible.
Below are some helpful tips on how to use hashtags:
- Conduct your hashtag research;
- Target hashtags with both heavy and little competition;
- Keep them simple (they shouldn’t be wordy);
- Utilize trending hashtags whenever you can;
- Never use too many hashtags (Most social platforms advise that creators should use 3 to 5 hashtags on their posts).
Customers like to read content that is somehow relevant to them, whether it’s humorous, angering, sad, or realistic. Users nowadays love memes because they bring to the attention things that make them laugh, frustrate them, or make them thankful to be alive.
So, when creating your content, try to:
- Address your customer’s pain points;
- Follow present trends (holidays, celebrity news, etc.);
- Have emotional appeal (joy, sadness, frustration, etc.);
- Share a first-hand experience or problem;
In order to come up with more relevant and engaging content, you can view the most engaging posts from your competitors as well. Accordingly, model after those high-engagement posts and include similar ones in your own social media content strategy.
Once somebody else offers better answers to a certain query, take advantage of their content. Your followers (and customers) will realize that you are there to provide them with what they need, no matter if it came from you or not.
When your social media feed offers them relevant info, they will be attracted to your brand and encouraged to engage with you.
Maintaining varied content from diverse contributors will keep customers interested. Sometimes seeing the same individual talk about the same things over and over again might become a bit annoying. So, start sharing.
Appreciate your audience’s and customers’ opinions and feedback, and continually make them feel as if your brand values their input. So, gather feedback on your services and products by using surveys, polls, or simple questions.
Pay attention to your audience’s concerns, problems, and questions. That way you will be able to understand exactly what they like and what they often react to. That will give you better insights for creating more engaging posts.
By using our six creative ideas presented in this article, you will be able to share informative and engaging content with your social media followers. That will enable you to boost your social network, attract more customers, and improve your overall advertising strategy.

How to Make Scrapbook Paper Wall Art
Learn how to make your own wall art from using Scrapbook in paper. It’s fun, easy and inexpensive. You can find the Scrapbook in paper from any crafts store for usually around a dollar a piece. For this project I’m going to use an 11x14 photo frame, an 8x10 designer mat, scissors and a pen or a marker. Start by laying out the matting and select desired area. Trace and cut.
Remove the backing of the picture frame. Insert the matting and scrapbook in paper. Reinsert the picture backing and there you have it. In this one, I chose a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Just complete to same process as before, trace, cut and insert. Most craft stores have a wide variety of different styles and prints. So have fun with your project and be creative. You can also try a smaller frame as well. The same method applies. This one has a picture of the circus on it that I’m going to use in the kids’ room.
Another creative idea is to use photos from magazines. Just trace and cut out the dimensions for the picture frame that you’ll be using. Insert and close. Next time you think about buying and expensive artwork think about this quick craft. You’re going to achieve great looks for your home here at the Home Staging Channel.

State division change would be better for inmates, Nev. parole board leader says
Connie Bisbee, head of Nevada’s Parole Board, told lawmakers Wednesday that moving the Parole portion of the Parole and Probation Division to the Department of Corrections should actually be beneficial.Lawmakers were skeptical of that proposal when Corrections Director Greg Cox presented it a week ago.The Parole Board, which is separate from the P&P Division, hears inmates’ cases and decides whether they should be released. Bisbee told a study committee that moving Parole to Corrections really shouldn’t affect her operation.“I’m supportive of the governor’s initiative,” she said. “We need a system that is a single, client-friendly system so we don’t have breakdowns or different processes of doing things.”With everything within Corrections, Bisbee said, an inmate would be managed by the same people from entry into prison, to developing a parole program, to eventual release back into society.“If one system is treating the person, it makes it easier to coordinate services,” she said. “From the moment you enter the criminal justice system, we know who you are, know where you are and what you need.”Now, when inmates leave Corrections, they are turned over to P&P, a different agency.The study committee chairman, Assemblyman David Bobzien, D-Reno, questioned what good the change would make. He pointed out Bisbee had told him that, from the board’s perspective, “we are certainly doing what we need to be doing.”“The answer to the impact question is, there is no impact,” he said. “But you’re thinking negative impact. I’m thinking there’s no positive impact.”Committee members made clear a week ago they don’t like the idea of moving Parole to Corrections because they don’t see any benefit.Cox told them essentially the same thing Bisbee did, that the change would unify handling of inmates’ needs all the way through the system.

The application is a system using a 10-cell NiMH battery pack. It should have push-on button, battery over-discharge protection, battery charging circuit, fuel gauge etc.
For battery charging part, i choose LTC4011, please see its demo board circuit below
For the push-on button and battery protection part, please see the picture below.
Can I put these two part of circuits all together?
Do I put the second part of the circuit into System Load socket "E1" in the picture 1?
For picture 1, when no Voltage Vin, I assume the battery will support the system load working? Is that right?
Thanks and kind regards,
The idea is that as soon as the charger is plugged-in, the battery will start charging. No switch for this charging circuit. But I assume the charging circuit IC LTC4011 will control the charging process when fully charged, it will shut down the charging process. Am I right?
That is correct. Based on your requirements, it should work to simply put the push button switch between the LTC4011's system output (E1) and your load. The battery will start charging as soon as VIN is connected, but the load will not be powered until you press the push button.
The LTC4231's UV threshold will be monitoring the system output voltage which will either be sourced by VIN or the battery. Since VIN is always greater than the battery's full charge voltage, VIN will always be allowed to power the system load given that you have pressed the push button. The battery will be able to power the system load after the push button is pressed until its voltage drops below your UV threshold.

Lacey Paloma. Coloring Pages. January 19th , 2021.
Why Children’s Coloring Pages are Important, Today’s children still love coloring just as much as the Old People used to when they were children. In addition to this fact, it’s now known that coloring is a wondrous pre-reading activity which helps children develop the hand-eye coordination they’ll need for learning how to write. Parents who encourage the use of children’s coloring pages are also encouraging an array of other development skills including decision making, patience, persistence, and creativity.
Hee Hawww! Yahoo! Giddy Up! What kid hasn’t imagined themselves King (or Queen) of the rodeo? Can’t you picture it? A western landscape…hot and dusty…sunny and smokey. And who arises from this scene? None other than the fastest-firing-gunslinger in all the west! This kid epitomizes what a cowboy should be. Decked out like the cowboys of cowboys in a: vest and tie, cowboy boots, rodeo jeans covered by chaps, gun and holster, with the coolest cowboy hat to complete the look. Now that’s a cowboy! And that’s just what your kids are imagining that they are REAL cowboys and cowgirls!
For instance, a website with these pages might be about dolls, and it would also contain all shapes, sizes, and kinds of dolls for children to play with and even create them. Their favorites can become images on coloring pages. There will also likely be articles, games, quizzes, contests, and chat forums for doll lovers. Your child will love being able to learn so much and be so creative with something she has a love for already.
Ability to recognize colors, Constant use of different colors as they color different pages will enable them to know and can comfortably tell which color is which. It also teaches them color combination from a very early age and by the time they grow up, they could have become masters in the act of effectively combining colors.
Internet is used to find the free printable coloring pages of your requirement. There can be lots of varieties of coloring pages over internet like the Disney pages or the Spiderman’s or any other cartoon character’s. All such pages can also be looked over specific web sites. You can also try through Google search images option to locate numerous of beautiful images which would be loved by kids too. What all you need here is just internet connection. All thanks to the widespread and easily accessible internet. Parents can also try offline resources like bookshops which carry a bunch of such books having color pages inside. At the end parents should never give up while selecting the correct and best printable pages for their kids.
The time to open the lines of communication with your child is when they are young. A two or three year old may not be able to have an hour long conversation and tell you everything that is running through their mind or that may be bothering them, but if you take the time to pull out some coloring pages and sit with them for some creative play you will find that they do have their own ways of communicating with you.
Don’t wash your hair! I know some of these dyes available to the public tell you to apply on clean hair only. That’s one thing that makes me angry. You can actually burn your scalp if you wash and dry your hair right before you apply permanent color. Hair dye processes fast with heat. Washing and drying your hair gets the blood flowing in your scalp, producing heat. This is how you can burn your scalp. If your scalp is itching shortly after applying the color, then your scalp is either burning or you could be allergic to the chemicals.

I've been listening to the new Llama recordings pretty much non-stop since finding them for download yesterday, and I've got to tell you that they're amazingly good. It's pretty straightforward in terms of instrumentation -- mostly drums, bass, vocals and percussion. But, the production (Sangster?) is wholly effective.
The songs are simple and short. But, dang, they're melodic and get under your skin without being overtly "hooky." If you didn't go get them yesterday when I posted the link, you should go do so right now and enjoy.
Rusty can write some brilliant tunes.

A Renault FT modification with a new chassis that used long-stroke suspension elements and Kégresse-Hinstin fanged rubber tracks with metal shoes. These features, along with an upgraded 45 h.p. engine, increased the top speed to 16 km/h. A total of 15 vehicles of this type were exported to China.
The Renault NC-31 is faster and more maneuverable than the Renault FT, while still having excellent weapons for its tier, such as an automatic 13.2mm machine gun or a 37mm gun, capable of hurting every tank that it sees, with the trade off of having a slightly longer aim time and not so great accuracy. It's a solid starter tank for new Chinese tree players.
The Renault NC-31 leads to the Vickers Mk. E Type B.

Pros and Cons
- Surprisingly good armor for a tier 1, due to its slope
- Decent acceleration
- Surprisingly great maneuverability
- Top gun has good RoF and pen
- Low top speed
- Gun has a long aiming time
- Modules (engine, ammo rack, etc.) often get taken out
- Crew is killed fairly often
Many will have a Tier-1 "Keeper" they enjoy playing, but it seems unlikely the NC-31 will grace many garages long term. However this tank could fit a niche style of play for those who enjoy low tier matches. The high maneuverability of this tank, plus the slope of the armor, cause the NC-31 to preform surprisingly well as the lead tank in a group fellow T1 tanks.
Unlike its French counter part, the NC-31 is built faster, and with better armor. It can deal a good bit if damage from close or long range. It has decent accuracy for a tier 1 and d/m.
Please note the Map Restrictions for tier 1 tanks and the Camo Type for those maps when purchasing a camouflage skin/paint job for this tank.
The only thing to unlock is the next gun.
Two additional NC versions were produced for testing, the first of which appeared in 1927 and was designated the NC-1. The second version, the NC-2, appeared in 1931. The primary differences between the NC-1 and the NC-2 were in the turrets and armaments. The NC-1 carried the same turret as the FT and mounted a single 1918 model 37mm main gun. The NC-2 mounted an improved turret and offered twin coaxial mounted machine guns. Although Renault sought an export market for the NC, and did sell several units to foreign powers for testing purposes; the model did not realize success in France. Further development was discontinued by Renault in order to focus on the NC's successor the Renault D-1.
The Japanese army purchased 10 Renault NC tanks with 37mm guns for testing purposes in 1930. In Japan these became known as Renault B or Type-B. The Renault NC saw action between 18 January and 3 March 1932 in what the Japanese (3,000+ K.I.A) refer to as the "First Shanghai Incident" and the Chinese (4,000 K.I.A) refer to as the "January 28 Incident". The Japanese were dissatisfied with the NC, citing inferior combat performance due to chronic over-heating of the engine, easily damaged suspension, and malfunction of the power train.
The NC31 is direct ancestor for the Renault D1 tank.
The French plan of 1926, calling for the creation of a Light Infantry Support Tank, led to the development of the existing Renault NC1 prototype into the Char D1. One hundred and sixty vehicles of this type were produced between 1931 and 1935. There was a pre-series of ten vehicles and later 150 standard vehicles were built. Until 1936 the vehicles were fitted with Renault FT turrets because the intended cast ST2 turrets were not ready yet. The ST2 turret was armed with a short 47mm SA34 tank gun with a coaxial 7.5mm MG. The hull carried a 7.5mm MG in the bow. The type did not serve as an infantry support tank as originally intended, but as France's major battle tank of the early thirties; it was quickly phased out in 1937 because of its mechanical unreliability. Development After World War I, France possessed a very large fleet of Renault FT light infantry support tanks. Although many of these were sold to other nations, over 2800 remained. In contrast to the United Kingdom, that after the war greatly reduced its armoured forces and scrapped any redundant AFVs, France maintained a large number of active or reserve armoured units (with an organic tank strength of about 1260) and all of the remaining Renault FTs were kept in working order. This implied that in the early twenties France had the strongest and most modern armoured force in the world, but this very fact led to a state of complacency. Development of new tank models was not seen as urgent, also because budgetary restraints would for the immediate future prohibit any further tank production anyway. When in 1922 General Jean Baptiste Eugène Estienne concluded an official study containing guidelines for long term tank design, no provisions were made for any new light infantry tank.
However, the remaining Renault FT vehicles, though having shown themselves to be very effective in trench warfare, were in their present state of technological development not well adapted to peacetime conditions. The main problem was their low top speed, which necessitated the use of special tank transporters whenever the vehicles had to be moved outside of their base area and which made them fundamentally unsuited to patrolling duty in the colonies. It was therefore decided to modify a number of existing vehicles, by fitting them with a more effective suspension system. The first modifications were of the Renault FT Kégresse-type, which featured the suspension of the Kégresse half-track, fitted with a special rubber steel-reinforced track. In 1925 42 vehicles were rebuilt this way and deployed in 1926 during the Berber insurrection in Morocco. The modification allowed for a top speed of 17 km/h but field experience showed that the track was liable to suddenly snapping at top speed with often catastrophic consequences and the modification project was therefore discontinued. Nine Renault FT Kégresse vehicles were later sold to Yugoslavia and five to Poland.
Meanwhile Louis Renault had obtained an order in 1923 to build two new prototypes as a parallel modification project, with the factory designation Renault NC; it was intended to feature not only an improved suspension system but also a stronger engine. Like "FT", "NC" is simply a combination of code letters devoid of any meaning. One prototype happened to be finished second, in December 1925, and was therefore called the NC2. It was fitted with a strongly modified Kégresse leaf spring suspension and a 62 hp engine. It had as an alternative designation Renault Modèle 24/25, because Renault proposed to build it as a possible "fast tank" as specified in Plan 1924 of the French Cavalry. This line of development was discontinued however. The first prototype to be ready, thus named the NC1, had a completely different suspension system, with twelve wheels and three large vertical volute springs per side. It allowed for a top speed of 18.5 km/h, making it in 1926 the fastest French tank ever. As had been the case for the Renault FT Kégresse, this project was still primarily intended to merely result in a modification proposal to rebuild existing Renault FTs. In 1926 it transpired however that the Char de Bataille project, that much later would result in the Char B1, was evolving into a far heavier tank than at first intended. It would be impossible to procure this heavier design in sufficient numbers and therefore specifications were made in the Infantry Plan 1926 for a new Char léger d'accompagnement d'infanterie, a "light infantry support tank". Renault immediately tried to offer his NC1, now called the Renault Modèle 26/27, as the logical candidate for this role. Renault also tried to open foreign markets. In 1928 he sold a single NC prototype to Sweden, in that country named the Stridsvagn fm/28; in 1929 he obtained an order of ten vehicles for Japan, there called the Renault Otsu-Gata ("Type B"); and 24 more were according to some sources delivered to Poland, fitted with 25 mm side armour, bringing the weight from 7.5 to 9.5 metric tons. In the early thirties a single tank was delivered to Greece. All of these vehicles were by postwar writers subsumed under the name NC27; this was not a contemporary designation, however.
In 1928 Renault succeeded in his attempt to get his Renault NC accepted as the basis for further light infantry tank development; he was granted an order to build two prototypes. The Army called this project the Char D, Renault used the designation NC28. Of the two prototypes, the first was fitted with the twin machine gun turret of the SRA Char de Bataille prototype. Also a new suspension system was tested incorporating the special chenille légère ("light track") designed by Colonel Balland, which was optimised for high speeds. As this vehicle was a derivative of the NC1, it was later indicated with the designation NC2, creating confusion with the earlier project of that name; many later books assumed they were one and the same vehicle. The Army made a choice in March 1929 for the second prototype, the NC3 gun tank, and ordered a pre-series of ten vehicles in December 1929. These had the Renault factory designation NC31, after the intended year of delivery. Renault merely had to build the hulls at a price of 400,000 FF each; the cast turrets were, as usual in France, separately ordered with the Schneider company; they were of the ST1 type (Schneider Tourelle 1). As this turret was much wider than the Renault FT turret used on all previous NC models, Renault broadened the hull accordingly; the typical tapering nose point of the Renault FT was abandoned. The ten hulls were delivered between May and November 1931: after an interval of ten years after the delivery of the last Char 2C in 1921, French tank series production for the home market was thus resumed. The ten pre-series hulls were tested by the 503e Régiment de Chars de Combat. Many shortcomings were discovered by the Commission de Bourges, the French Infantry matériel commission. Steering was difficult, the suspension too weak and the exhaust pipes overheated the engine compartment. Nevertheless the type was accepted for mass production — the commission had little choice in this as the main series had already been ordered — provided that changes were made. The strangely squeezed ST1 turret, the first ten of which were delivered from November 1930, was rejected though as being unacceptably cramped and unbalanced. To prevent that each time the gun was loaded, the breech had to be lowered into the fighting compartment or otherwise the round could not be shoved in, the main armament had been placed in a very forward position. The ST1 turrets were therefore again removed from the first ten vehicles.
On 23 December 1930 a first order of 70 main production series vehicles was made, followed on 12 July 1932 by a second order of 30; the last order on 16 October 1933 was of 50 vehicles, for a total of 150, delivered between January 1932 and early 1935, at a price of 375,000 FF per hull. Including the NC31s the series numbers were 1,000-1,160. The factory designation was still Renault NC. The series vehicles had many improvements: a Cleveland differential; a 74 hp instead of a 65 hp engine; the exhaust pipes were placed to the right, no longer crossing the engine room and there were support rollers fitted to prevent resonance in the top track run. Finally, the fuel tank was enlarged to 165 litres and a new radiator was fitted.In May 1930 Renault was asked to develop two derived types, the Char D2 and the Char D3; the original Char D now received as designation Char D1.
Historical Accuracy Errata
The Renault NC-31 is actually a tank with leaf spring suspension. Renault FTs fitted with Kegresse were known as "FT Kegresse", "Renault M26/27" or "Renault NC2 Kegresse".
- There's no record that the NC-31 was ever in service with the Chinese army. These NC-31s were used by the Kwantung Army, a unit of the Imperial Japanese Army. The implicit suggestion of them being captured/inherited by the People's Liberation Army lacks substantiation.
- The 3.7 cm KwK 36 gun configuration is fictitious.

Used auto parts are an excellent way to save money when you need a part for your car or truck. Many salvage yard or auto recyclers sell parts that are in good condition at lower prices than you can buy new parts for, but there are some things that you need to know when dealing with used auto parts for your vehicle.
When you buy new parts for your car or truck, you usually get some form of warranty with the parts, but buying used auto parts often means that the warranty on the parts is minimal or the part does not have one. Most auto recyclers will offer a thirty-day warranty for used auto parts unless you modify the part of damage it when you are installing it in the car.
There can be exceptions for some things like electrical components and parts like a light lens or small parts, so be sure to ask before you pay for the parts. If you are not sure the part is good and there is no way to test it before installing it, make sure you at least get the used auto parts dealer to agree to refund or replace the part if it does not work when you get it home.
If you are buying used auto parts from a salvage yard that requires you to remove the parts yourself, you must take the tools you need to the yard. Most salvage yards will not have tools for you to use, and depending on the yard, they may or may not be able to pull the part off the car for you.
Used auto parts yards are often self-service operations, but sometimes guys are hanging around that have tools and will remove the part for you for a fee. These guys make a living working for people pulling parts, but be aware they are often not affiliated with the salvage yard and that dealing with them is up to you. Most of the time, they will remove the part you request, and then you pay them for their work. Then, you take the part to the check out to pay for it. It can be a good option if you don't have what you need to do the work.
When you are buying used auto parts, it important to know that the parts you need may not be available that day. The inventory changes often at these dealers, so call ahead, and if it is a part you need, do not hesitate to head to the yard right away if they have the part in stock.
To learn more, contact a used auto parts supplier like Crossroads Towing & Salvage.

The large rock perched high to the left and the jagged rock below and to the right need to be rethought.
