The FlexPAK DX high vacuum unit represents the foremost solution on the market. The unit is designed for the extraction of welding fumes, grinding dust, metal chips etc. FlexPAK DX is suitable for cleaning the workplace, the shop floor, and machines. FlexPAK DXregulates the speed of the motor automatically depending on the vacuum demand. Compared to traditional controllers, FlexPAK provides an optimal, and well-balanced vacuum according to the need, ensuring energy-saving operation. The filters are effectively cleaned by applying powerful air bursts to the filter through quick opening valves. The dust is knocked off by the impact and collected in the dust bin. The sequence is controlled by the PLC, and it can be adjusted to suit every installation. This maximizes the life of the filter and ensures the correct functioning of the unit. FlexPAK can be fitted with different types of alarms, for example, level monitors for waste containers, filter indicators (for clogged filters) and fire alarms. Alarms can be activated at A and B levels and can be set to give both visual and audible signals. FlexPAK800 DX is a high vacuum unit, suitable for applications where metal chips, shot blasting grit and other heavy material need to be removed. FlexPAK1000 DX operates at a lower vacuum level and is suitable for extracting welding fumes and grinding dust and for use where a constant airflow, independent of the number of users, is a requirement. FlexPAK DX is designed to extract combustible and noncombustible dust, but the unit “as a whole” is not to be placed in an area that is classified as a zone according to directive 1999/92/EC. It is only the inside of the filter that meets the ATEX requirements. FlexPAK 800/1000 DX may be used with duct systems internally classified as zone 20, 21 or 22. The product has no marking since there is no internal ignition source. The inside is to be considered as a simple filter/ silo and does not fall under the scope of the directive 94/9/ EC. It is of outmost importance to know the properties of the extracted material. The FlexPAK DX is intended to be a part of an extraction system collecting material with the following properties:
• Dust explosion class: St1 and St2
• Pmax: ≤10 bar
• MIE (Minimum Ignition Energy) > 3 mJ
• MIT (Minimum Ignition Temperature) > 205 ºC
Materials with properties not given within the above stated values must be investigated prior to use with the FlexPAK DX. Contact Nederman for technical support and Dust application investigation.
Built in PLC functions:
• Pipe flushing and filter cleaning sequences are performed just before system idling.
• Weekly timer – ensures unit is switched off outside normal working hours.
• Overtime timer (option).
• Waste emptying possibilities: Manual, automatic time controlled emptying, or by an optional Bin Level Indicator.
• Filter cleaning possibilities: automatic time controlled cleaning, automatic cleaning triggered by a delta pressure sensor.
Built in safety functions:
• Filter cleaning is disabled during waste emptying sequence.
• Built in Emergency stop switch.
• Monitored control filter to detect main filter failure.
• Monitored relief panel. Vents the explosion to a safe area and stops the unit.
- Easy to install

3 Reasons Why an Inverter Generator Is the Best Generator
As our planet sees increasingly frequent natural disasters –like the freeze in Texas or increased hurricanes – the need for portable and reliable backup power is more important than ever. While portable power generators by makers like Yamaha and Honda have been around for a minute, a pile of advancements makes these new inverter generators more efficient and much safer. Here are three reasons why you should spend the extra cash to get the best generator on the market.
What is an inverter generator?
The mobile powerplant game has come a long way in only the past few years. The results are much quieter and more efficient powerplants that require less maintenance and upkeep. This new batch is changing the way portable power is viewed. At the same time, these contraptions used to be noisy, annoying, and required a lot of attention to the fuel levels and carbon monoxide (CO).
According to Consumer Reports, these new inverter models electronically throttles the engine up and down to meet the power demand instead of running full bore all the time. This is not only more efficient and safe but also way less annoying. These are clearly the best generators on the market today.
There are also three different classes of inverter generators these days. These classes are meant to help customers decide which one they need to get to avoid overspending. The classes break down as “Large,” “Midsized,” and “recreational.” These categories represent the power output as well as the physical size and weight.
The inverter is the best generator
One of the biggest reasons to go with a new inverter generator is to measure and regulate CO emissions. Not only is this better for the planet, but it is also much safer for the user. Every year people die from CO asphyxiation from running these little engines in enclosed spaces.
These inverter generators reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning by offering new models that feature a built-in sensor that triggers an automatic shutoff if CO builds up to dangerous levels in an enclosed space. And some also have engines that emit less CO in the first place. This is a net positive from every angle. Better for the planet and us as individuals.
Consumer Reports takes this CO shut-off function so seriously that the publication will not recommend any generator that doesn’t have it.
How much more efficient are the new versions?
Inverter powerplants with this CO shut-off are safer, but they are also much friendlier to your wallet. Because of their ability to electronically regulate the amount of power output based on how much is needed, they burn far less fuel than older gennies.
Even if fuel cost isn’t the main concern, the amount of time spent filling it up and watching the fuel gauge might be worth it alone. Whether you are using one in your RV or tailgating at the game, not having to refuel all the time can be a major plus. These electronically variable inverter generators can stay running for so much longer than other generators because of their ability to throttle down when less power is needed.
How loud are inverter generators?
Maybe the best part of these new inverter generators is that generators are finally not the most annoying sound on Earth. “You can carry on a conversation next to an inverter generator,” says Dave Trezza, who oversees CR’s generator testing.
Old generators make such a loud, grating noise that the subtlety of inverter generators might be worth the added cost. Whether you are trying to run your AC at night after a summer storm or trying to hang with friends at a tailgate, generator noise can easily drive most people up the wall. Inverter generators are so much friendlier than others.
Spending money on this kind of gear sucks
Buying this kind of gear always sucks. It’s something that most of us never want to use, but when the time comes, it’s sure nice to have. Inverter generators are more expensive than traditional portable gennies, but the advantages are clear. Next time you go shopping for one, pick the safer, more efficient, and quieter unit–you’ll be glad you did.

When the boy and I started dating, the first thing I gave him was a cd with a few songs I selected. That cd played over and over, and those songs ended being all of them very special to us. One of those was Unconditionally (yes, cheesy, loving unconditonally), from Extreme. A few moths later, for my birthday, he bought us tickets for their concert in Lisbon, it was their reunion tour, after more than ten years apart. Needless say, I was in a happy place! Going to a concert, just one of my most favorite things to do, to see a band I grew up listening, with the person I knew I would be my whole life with. Could not ask for more. It was three years ago, in the end of October, and I remember seeing girls dressed as witches crossing the streets as we walked to Lisbon Coliseu.
The song I share with you today is one of my favorites. It has everything I love about their music: nice vibe, energy, a bit of funk, great voices, and the magic hands of Nuno Bettencourt on the guitar. (Oh, an by the way, he is portuguese, did you know that?)
So, this is the moment when I invite you to make a pause to play it. Come on, this was one of my teenager's band crushes!
*Ok, I'm exaggerating. A bit. There was some Bon Jovi stuff going on, though, I confess.

Festa Brasileira 2nd Edition
For it’s second edition at DRM, Festa Brasileira is back with a new tight line-up of Samba Dancers and drummers grooving on Brazilian Beats and authentic Dances from Brazil, followed by Brazilian DJs. These unique rhythms will make you go wild!
Naima Yazbek was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with Lebanese, Portuguese and Spanish origins. With a degree in Psychology, she pursued her passion and made a career out of dancing and singing. Her theatrical and musical background, as well as her dedication and research in Oriental dance, Samba, Capoeira, Brazilian dances and others, have helped her define her style.
In a search for her Arabic roots, Naima started Oriental dancing in Brazil, in 1996. Since then, she has lived and performed in Germany, England, Spain and Lebanon. In between those trips, she made several visits to Egypt and ended dignity and beauty of Oriental Dancing, a dignity that she believes has gotten lost in the Arabic society; a society up finding in Lebanon a basis for her Oriental Dance work and Brazilian Culture dissemination. Through classes, choreographing, performances in video clips, movies, weddings, events and restaurants, she dreams to bring back the that has yet to value the art of dancing.

DENVER, CO, March 20, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) has released the 2021 edition of its Snapshot of Rural Health as well as the regional editions of the Snapshot of Rural Health. The annual publication highlights rural health data such as demographic trends, population health, education levels, opioid use, and the economy through the use of infographic data visualization, text, and maps. This year's edition features the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth, and expanded coverage on the rural economy amidst the pandemic.
Colorado Rural Health Center CEO Michelle Mills is excited about the updated and expanded snapshot. "The Snapshot of Rural Health forms a strong foundation for the Colorado Rural Health Center's advocacy efforts on the state and federal levels each year," explains Mills. "The snapshot provides an easy to digest yet thorough picture of how rural healthcare operates in the state. The onset of the pandemic has had profound impacts on our rural facilities and I think the report does a good job of fleshing that out."
The Snapshot of Rural Health also includes data collected and analyzed by CRHC's internal Health Information Technology (HIT) Data Analyst and Policy and Advocacy Manager. A comprehensive citations page makes sourcing each fact from the 48 page report easy and convenient.
Along with the release of the full annual Snapshot Report, CRHC also released five regional Snapshots that detail the progress of different regions of the state, allowing for apples-to-apples comparisons. Regions covered in the separate reports include the Northwest, Southwest, Mountain West, San Luis Valley, and Eastern Plains.
Michelle Mills, alongside other CRHC staff, attended virtual meetings with legislators as part of the National Rural Health Association's Rural Health Policy Institute on February 9-11. The annual policy institute event gives Colorado-based staff an opportunity to meet with policymakers and stakeholders to discuss legislative priorities. The Snapshot of Rural Health is a vital component of these discussions.
Examples of featured data include:
• When one Colorado hospital was forced to shut down its labor and delivery department, the next closest hospital was 45 miles away, over mountain passes. Of Colorado's 32 Critical Access Hospitals, just 18 now have obstetrics departments.
• The past decade has resulted in 29 climate disasters costing over $136 billion in damages to Colorado and neighboring regions. It is expected that climate disasters are likely to increase as the climate crisis worsens.
• In Colorado, the fentanyl-related death rate is more than four times higher than in 2016. Deaths involving methamphetamines are six times greater when compared to 2012.
• There are ICU beds in only 27 of Colorado's 64 counties.
• From late March through the beginning of May 2020, a total of 419,547 people in Colorado filed for unemployment, an overwhelming number that is a record high when compared to any other single year in the state.
• In 2020, Colorado observed Chief Executive Officer staff turnover in 11 of 32 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). This equates to 34%.
• Acute traumatic stress resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic paired with burnout may intensify an already high pressure environment of assisting sick or distressed patients daily, increasing the risk of mental health trauma among health care professionals.
As Colorado's State Office of Rural Health and member-based association for rural health facilities, CRHC is a clearinghouse for rural health information and resources, helping providers throughout Colorado enhance healthcare services available in rural communities, and helping elected officials make informed decisions about healthcare policy.
The Snapshot of Rural Health is available for download at https://coruralhealth.org/snapshot-of-rural-health - For additional resources, visit the CRHC resource center at http://coruralhealth.org/resources.
About The Colorado Rural Health Center
The Colorado Rural Health Center was established in 1991 as Colorado's State Office of Rural Health. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, CRHC serves dual roles as the State Office of Rural Health and the State Rural Health Association. The organization's mission is to enhance healthcare services in the state by providing information, education, linkages, tools, and energy toward addressing rural health issues. CRHC's vision is to improve healthcare services available in rural communities to ensure that all rural Coloradans have access to comprehensive, affordable, high quality healthcare.

Primary school pupils helped celebrate the opening of Spalding’s newly extended Aldi store by attending the opening ceremony to receive a donation to support the school’s allotments.
Aldi store manager Hayley Rowson said: “The team here at Spalding thoroughly enjoyed welcoming the community back into our newly extended store; it was great to see familiar faces, and some new ones.
“We’d like to say a big thank you to St John’s Primary for helping to reopen the store, and we hope the pupils enjoy the gardening supplies for their allotment.”
An Aldi spokesperson said they hope the school’s allotments will encourage healthy eating by letting children grow their vegetables and then cook in the school kitchen.
Aldi donated tools and cooking materials to the Spalding school.

I bought this dress months ago with something specific in my mind to wear it to: Fiesta in Santa Barbara… just a little shindig my sleepy beach town likes to throw every year. Confetti eggs coating every side walk, parades on the regular, mariachi bands around every corner, Mexican coffee, margaritas flowing like water, churros… oh the churros, endless tacos and people screaming viva la fiesta like its their job. We’ll be ducking in and out of the festivities but I plan on sharing all of it over on Snapchat, so be sure to find me and get a taste of the fun—@couldihavethat.

In the Weekly Standard, William Stuntz argues:
Each party’s base has two inconvenient truths it doesn’t want to hear. For Republicans, those truths concern immigration and the culture war. Most of today’s illegal immigrant population is here to stay (along with their descendants) and will pay no significant price for getting here outside the legal channels. No presidential candidate can change those facts. On the issue that matters most to conservative Christians–abortion–the political phase of the culture war is over. The right lost–a pro-life initiative failed in South Dakota in 2006: If it can’t win there, it can’t win anywhere. Well, maybe Utah. . . .
If Republicans fail to understand their unpleasant truths, they will lose in November, and lose badly.
Stuntz is right on immigration, and I suppose it is worth saying since there are people who believe that instantly deporting millions of people is a practicable strategy. But there aren’t many, I should think: None of the top five Republican presidential candidates ran on that platform.
Stuntz provides exactly three data points to support his contention that the “political phase” of the struggle against abortion is over: the South Dakota referendum; the Virginia gubernatorial election of 1989–yes, 1989; and a consensus of “political insiders” who know that “[i]n any national election in which abortion rights were squarely at issue, the pro-choice side would win, and win big.”
Let’s examine each. 1) The South Dakota proposal would have banned abortion even in cases of rape and incest. South Dakota may be the eleventh most pro-life state in the union by one measure, but yes, even there, a ban that complete is a hard sell. (Debate over the proposal centered, predictably, on these rare cases.)
2) The abortion issue did help Virginia Democrat Doug Wilder win in 1989. He endorsed parental-consent laws and opposed government funding of abortion, but highlighted his support for keeping abortion legal otherwise–especially in cases of rape and incest. He ran against a Republican who said he would prohibit even those abortions and then, toward the end of the campaign, flip-flopped on the question. It is also worth noting that 1989 was near the pro-choice movement’s peak in public opinion.
3) “Political insiders” are correct that a national election that turned on banning all abortions would result in a massive defeat for pro-lifers. A national election that turned, on the other hand, on keeping a status quo in which no state can prohibit abortion at any stage of pregnancy–well, that would have a rather different outcome. Pro-lifers, far from being unwilling to admit that they would lose a referendum on banning all abortions, have incorporated the fact into their every strategic move for the last fifteen years.
Republicans may well lose this fall, but there is zero chance that they will do so because the party a) wants to deport all illegal immigrants or b) believes that the public is ready to ban all abortions. Stuntz is not writing about the actual political world in which we live.

After last year, I was expecting an all-star type year? What is holding him back?
Posted on 8/27 11:41 AM | IP: Logged
He has had a good year. His run support has been atrocious. In his last 10 starts: 6 of those he gave up 1 run or less & 2 of those 2 runs or less. He's only given up more than 3 run once (4)in his last start @ the Cubs. After his slow start to the season he's been nothing but solid.

The losses seemed to mount after he got ripped by the white sox before the all-star break, and then for a few games thereafter he was struggling, but lately he has pitched pretty good but just hasnt gotten the run support he need to get the win.

Add to that his dizzy spells he had in some of the stinkers, and his numbers on paper may not look as well as he has pitched this year. I'll take Hanson as my future ace anyday.

Posted on 8/27 7:02 PM | IP: Logged
I'm not a big fan. I've never gotten too excited about him after witnessing his first MLB start against the Brewers. After hearing numerous times that he throws in the high 90s and then finding out that really means low to sometimes mid 90s and straight as an arrow.
Posted on 8/27 7:09 PM | IP: Logged
Say what u want about the lack of movement on his fastball @ times, but he consistently throws in the mid to upper 90's.
Posted on 8/27 7:53 PM | IP: Logged
Mid to upper? I watch a lot of Braves' games, and the radar gun is usually 93 to 95 when he's on the mound. And I'd say more 93 and 94 than anything else. He may touch 96 a couple times a game. When he was in the minors all I read about was his overpowering high 90s fastball. I think 97-98 when I think upper 90s.

A Knight’s Quest is an example of an inventive and colourful video game which borrows a lot of pre-existing ideas from others. Most games are probably guilty of this, but sometimes it feels like some developers do a bit of a Frankenstein effort in putting borrowed ideas together to build their own experience. The most immediate and apparent influence is obviously Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda, mixed with the design of classic Rare platformers from the N64 era. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing given how the Xbox brand hasn’t exactly seen a wide array of Zelda style adventure experiences, indie clones or otherwise. The other influences are less obvious but certainly far from being coincidental, which include the action platforming sensibilities of Capcom’s lesser known classic Maximo and, believe or not, even SEGA’s Sonic Adventure.
A Knight’s Quest follows the journey of a reluctant and goofy hero named Rusty who accidentally finds himself in the heroic role, only because he himself accidentally unleashed an unspeakable evil on the land by sheer ignorance of the Homer Simpson calibre. Rusty is far from an ideal hero especially given the nepotism behind him, but against better judgment the legendary sword and shield chose him for all people to rectify the very evil that he unleashed out of sheer tomfoolery; being chosen to clean up his own mess really. It’s probably clear from the premise that this is a fun and whimsical adventure filled with a constant comedic undertone.
As a Zelda-styled 3D adventure, A Knight’s Quest borrows a lot from Nintendo’s flagship franchise; everything from the trademark z-targeting system (it’s a wonder why Nintendo didn’t file a patent for this) to how Rusty opens treasure chests. However, a poor man’s Zelda is both a harsh and an accurate description of Rusty’s adventure, with the overworld exploration being similar, but sorely lacking the same engaging design and wonder. It can be a bit of a slog to navigate the open world in fact, especially when a lot of it is empty and serving little purpose other than to pad out the game’s length. Where the game does shine a bit though is when it gets into the action platforming stages.
A Knight’s Quest on Xbox One functions much better as an action platformer than it does as a Zelda clone, where the stage design and combat take a page out of Capcom’s oft forgotten Maximo by featuring engaging platforming that is punctuated with close-quarters combat and huge boss battles. The level design is generally decent here, but is unfortunately marred by floaty and sloppy gameplay mechanics which don’t provide the accuracy needed to smoothly navigate the levels.
The controls function well enough, but the timing of execution tends to feel quite off which makes it easy to fall off or miss ledges. Taking a few cues from Sonic Adventure, Rusty can run across walls and also grind rails, and these mechanics generally work well but it can still be easy to slip up due to the floaty inertia of the character. The controls and mechanics hardly make the game unplayable, but they are still cumbersome enough. This even extends to the core combat where strikes and attacks don’t connect in a satisfying manner, making battles a bit boring despite some decent boss battle designs.
Graphically this is a game that feels rather unfinished and bland, where the character designs and models seem to resemble Xbox Avatars from the Xbox 360 days. The textures and lighting lack polish and the 3D world in general has an amateurish feel, so much so that even early Xbox 360 titles fared better in terms of graphics and presentation. A Knight’s Quest is clearly powered by a low budget 3D engine, but it functions well enough to be playable despite issues with framerate and pop up. The music is surprisingly one of the stronger aspects of the game’s presentation where the style is generally on the fun and whimsical side, but some of the tracks can be a bit on the dramatic side of things, which feel out of place given the comedic nature of the narrative and presentation.
There are not many adventures on Xbox which resemble The Legend of Zelda, and so A Knight’s Quest might be a fun little alternative for Xbox gamers who are after that style of adventure. For most gamers however, this is an average clone at best, which despite some good intentions simply underwhelms in execution.

John Cena was backstage for this week's WWE RAW from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, according to PWInsider. Cena has been on another hiatus from WWE while he focuses on non-wrestling opportunities.
SmackDown's Paige was also backstage at RAW earlier in the afternoon, filming material for WWE's campaign with the Girl Up group.
In a correction from earlier, The Bella Twins were not backstage at the Staples Center for RAW on Monday afternoon, according to PWInsider. However, they were in Los Angeles filming material for WWE. They also filmed for WWE's campaigns with Girl Up and UNICEF.
As seen below, The Bella Twins also filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke on Apple TV, featuring SmackDown Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan in the car with them:

Wherever we are on the internet, people are talking about Web3 (sometimes web 3.0) – the supposed next big evolutionary leap forward of the internet. But what is it, exactly?
That question inspired a Technext Twitter Spaces conversation on March 2, 2022, where well-versed speakers in the cryptoverse unraveled the technicalities surrounding the concept and shed more light on the risks, the good, the bad, and how businesses and content creators can utilise what has been widely tagged ‘the future of the internet’.
What exactly is Web3?
One of the things the ‘Thomases’ of web3 hold against it is that it is quite disorganised. This inspired the first question: What is Web3 to you?
To Ugo Akachukwu, a Music Executive and Tech Entrepreneur, “Web3 is decentralised internet, how we create value from the internet of people. In Web2, big corporations, Amazon, Google, Twitter, used our data to make so much money over the years. Now, we’ve gotten to the point where the internet allows us control our data we give to corporations”.
He added that Web3 is powered by blockchain technology. For the first time, people can get paid and be rewarded by using the internet. He continued, “NFTs are probably the most popular side to web3 that we can see now. It’s going to spread into governance, education, finance, and politics”.
From a slightly different perspective, Asher Aboyowa, a co-founder of useSaFi says “Web3 means more power, more control over my data and internet. The benefit is endless and the world has not seen it yet.”
How data ownership, identity and copyright work in Web3
Web2 is known to be a centralised network. Systems and developers own a monopoly of the users’ database and monetise it in the process. This is one of the defects Web3 is solving. According to Asher:
“In Web3, you’re the owner of your content, this content is stored in multiple computers across the globe.
Ajose Gideon, the CEO of Cyberville, drew inference from Elon musk’s post days ago, where he trolled Vitalik (Ethereum co-founder). Musk had posted a picture where Vitalik put on something like a baby cloth where he was supposed to speak at a conference.
“Web3 is about freedom to do what you wish with your properties, in this case, your data. Metaverse, NFTs, and other decentralised systems are all premised on Web3. In Web3, your identity is tied to your crypto wallet, no two persons have the same metamask address. Issue of identity is quite central to web3,” he said.
He disclosed how he owns ‘Ajose.sol’, just like a domain, and no other person can go on to claim it. In view of that, Web3 solves the irregularities attached with copyright in the traditional systems.
On the same topic, Ugochukwu said, “You can hack my email, but you can never get access to my wallet, no matter who you are except I give you my seed phrase.
He also gave an instance of the viral meme – Pepe the frog (comrade in the Nigerian context). According to him, in the world of innovation known as Web3, it can be minted, put on the blockchain, its ownership can be claimed and the rightful owner can earn from it.
Web3 and the metaverse
The metaverse is often regarded as the future of the internet. Metaverse literally means virtual reality, It also translates to a digital economy, where users can create, buy, and sell goods. And, in the more idealistic visions of the metaverse, it is interoperable, allowing users to take virtual items like clothes or cars from one platform to another.
Metaverse is another concept that goes hand in hand or is interwoven with Web3. Ugochukwu says:
“There’s no one metaverse; a metaverse is like a social community where people are going to engage. Crypto is for the metaverse; it will get to a point where to have a full experience of the metaverse, we will use something like a VR (virtual reality) machine. You can do anything on the metaverse literally, buy lands, buy avatars and even go on dates!”
How to make money from Web3
The fundamental idea behind Web3 is that it rewards internet users just by participating. And the end product of any concept is the monetisation aspect, Ajose Gideon says:
“There are always opportunities in every space, it’s all on individuals, businesses, and corporate organisations to look carefully to benefit. I don’t flip NFTs, I only hold two, and I get paid every day for it. I know my niche, all I want in the space is to build communities.
“You can make money in Web3 by going with the trend, the trend is always your friend but you must know when to get it and get out so you don’t get burnt. People do real estate agents in Decentraland. Do play-2-earn. Instead of playing candy crush where you get 1 million coins that are useless, you can play games like axie infinity and earn money. Join guilds, you can have fun and also earn money”.
Ugochukwu says Web3 is about contribution and participation. He further narrated how he got an airdrop of tokens worth thousands of dollars last year just because he bought the ugochukwu.eth domain name.
“That’s what happens in Web3. I can’t even say the number of airdrops I’ve received just by contributing, being part of the community. You can join a DAO, if you have the necessary skills, you get paid. People are being paid for simple things like coming to a DAO meeting. Getting engaged in discord servers and all that”.
Another way to earn money from Web3 is also to look at the loopholes of projects, like slow transactions, scalability, and interoperability, middlemen cheating content producers – just like the music industry where music platforms gain more than the artists. In Web3, music can be converted into NFT, put on the blockchain, and sold to fans.
According to Ugochukwu individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses can tap into the fantastic innovation known as Web3.
Is Web3 truly the future?
In the internet space, we have two groups, the proponents and believers of Web3, then those that believe Web3 is a disorganised, nebulous, overhyped, and unreal concept.
Jack Dorsey, the former CEO and co-founder of Twitter belongs to the latter. He has always questioned the basis and relevance of Web3 and in December 2021, he came out to say people are being lied to and have been deceived all along.
They do not own Web3, the promises are unreal and, as per Jack, Web3 will still be owned by Venture Capitalists (VCs) and their investors or Limited Partners (LPs), just like the Internet that we see today. That aroused different reactions from several quarters.
Ajose Gideon says, “I’m not shocked about the comments of Jack Dorsey, he was the CEO of Twitter, and Twitter is an integral part of Web2. Donald Trump is still banned from almost all social media platforms due to his comments during the election last year.
“In Web3, that is impossible because you cannot censor anybody. Web3 is here to stay, people are beginning to love and appreciate privacy more and more. What Jack Dorsey said was a fad and ill-conceived.”
Ugochukwu, an Ethereum maximalist and a Web3 evangelist also disagrees with Jack and his henchmen:
“Whatever Jack says is pointless because he’s the godfather of Web2. Web3 is going nowhere. We can see what happened in Nigeria during the 2020 #EndSARS protest. The government tried to use their centralised systems to stop the movement but the people said, no way and started using blockchain technology.
“Ukraine wants to airdrop rewards to people. I can’t wake up in the morning and go to the bank to demand 5 million naira, questions would be asked, but I can take that loan with my asset on Binance within minutes. The idea of Web3 is for the people and by the people, it is the present, not even the future.”
“Whoever says web3 is nebulous or is not clear cut is either a bitcoin maximalist or is just a shady person that has something up his sleeves that Web3 is exposing,” he added.
Jack’s concerns are not completely unfounded. We will have to wait and see how Web3 shapes up, as most Internet users still struggle with the concept and its application. Web3 is currently a work-in-progress and is not exactly defined yet.
However, it will be decentralised, rather than controlled by governments and corporations, as is the case with today’s internet. And, to an extent, connected to the concept of the ‘Metaverse’.

The "High Speed
Only" Vintage Mixmaster (Models 10, 11, and 12)
(Best Mixmasters Sunbeam ever built!)
to locate you mixer's model number
I get this question a lot so I hope this article will
help. Your Mixmaster will run, but no matter where the dial's set, it
only runs at full speed with little or no adjustment possible.
First, make sure the governor's tiny
adjustable-length speed adjust pin hasn't fallen out. They love to pop
out and hide on the floor when the knob's removed. The pin's location is
noted in photo 1 below. If it's gotten lost, let me know. I still have a
quantity of good/used ones on hand.
If the pin's in place, the most common cause of this,
by far, is a shorted governor capacitor. That's located on the bottom of
the governor, where there's one of my new ones mounted in photo 1 below.
Old capacitors (usually cardboard-cased) fail without warning, often
violently, so I always recommend replacing an original one whenever you
have your mixer apart, as preventive maintenance.
To quickly check for a shorted cap without a meter,
pry the old one out (the left contact arm is flexible, designed to
spring open), put the knob back on (remember that little pin!) and run
it briefly. If there's some speed control with the cap removed, you
immediately know the cap is shorted and should be replaced.
Just don't run it very long that way, as you risk
burning the governor contacts. One of the functions of that capacitor is
to protect the contacts from arc-damage.
If you need one, I try to always keep a good quantity
of these capacitors fabricated and on hand (brand new), posted
The next mostly likely cause of "high-only" is under
the governor. The tiny (1/16" diameter) steel pin that pushes on the
governor contact arm can wear right back through its tiny nylon socket,
causing loss of speed regulation.
It's hard to see without pulling the governor out, but looking under the
contacts carefully with a strong light will reveal the tip of the pin
poking back through the socket if this is the issue.
Back in the day, we could order that little socket
and its felt oil wick from Sunbeam, but these days you have to replace
the governor assembly with a good/used one (not as hard as it sounds). I
still (as of Spring 2021) have just a few good/used ones left in stock.
Part # 10-1057GU, I don't have enough of them to justify listing them
here on the website (they're no longer available new, either).
If the push-pin socket's OK, the next most likely cause is a problem
with the centrifugal leaf on the rear of the armature. This is a thin
steel ribbon that straightens as speed increases, pushing the steel
push-rod backwards. Picture the old rotating centrifugal ball governor
on a steam engine; same principle.
It's rare, but that steel leaf sometimes breaks,
again causing high speed only, and requiring armature replacement. I
still have a few reconditioned armatures on hand if needed.
Hopefully the "high-only" issue with your mixer is
one of those listed above; it almost always is. If you should have any
questions on this, feel free to
drop me an email

DENVILLE TWP. - Judy McBride was elected the 12th president of the Denville Historical Society at the organization's annual meeting on Wednesday, June 13.
She replaces outgoing president Vito Bianco, who served eight years.
Other officers are: Vice President Elizabeth Kanouse, Recording Secretary Camille Passucci, Corresponding Secretary Kathleen McNamara and Treasurer Dan Simon.
Returning for new terms as trustees are Pat Martin, Jim Harp, Vince Farina and Bob Donaldson.
In his final annual report to the Board of Trustees, Bianco cited some of the work the society has done in the past eight years.
"We renovated the museum, restored the historic Union Schoolhouse, published two history books, brought back the garden and maintained our traditional programs and activities," Bianco said, noting the treasury of the society "has never been stronger."

The Responsible Care®
Product Safety Code
The Responsible Care Product Safety Code, developed by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and its members, includes a set of 11 Management Practices, through which chemical manufacturers can evaluate, demonstrate and continuously improve their product safety performance, while also making information about chemical products available to the public.
Specifically, the Product Safety Code Management Practices verify that chemical companies do the following:
- Undertake scientific analyses of their products, and take steps to assure they can be used safely.
- Enhance cooperation and communications along the chemical value chain, so that chemical producers and the manufacturers, distributors and retailers who use, handle or sell chemicals, work together to improve awareness about the safety and risks of certain chemicals, and how to manage chemicals safety along the value chain.
- Consider impacts on public health, the environment and overall sustainability as they improve their products or develop new ones.
- Determine whether the chemicals they make pose risks, based on any new research, how the chemical is used, and whether children and other sensitive groups come into contact with them.
- Provide the public with access to product safety and stewardship information.
- Ensure that company senior executives, including the CEO, commit to a culture of product safety and accountability.

Commuters to get free travel after nine trips a week
Brisbane commuters will get free travel after nine journeys from next week.
Premier Campbell Newman says commuters would feel real hip pocket relief, but a critic of travel costs says more help is needed.
“The fact remains that there will be a 7.5 per cent increase in fares next year and the following year which would roughly twice CPI,” head of lobby group Back On Track, Robert Dow, said.
Mr Dow said regular travellers faced rising costs.
“Reducing flag fall prices on fares and increasing the off-peak discounts from 20 to 30 percent and further value added products to discounts could be possible strategies to improve savings,” he said.
Transport minister Scott Emerson said the scheme would reward daily commuters.
“After working all week, your journey home on Friday will be at no charge, and any additional trips you take will be free also,” he said.
This would save for a regular weekday commuter from the City to Oxley up to $220 a year and City to Varsity Lakes up to $642.

Two rarely seen short plays by Steven Berkoff are professionally performed together for the first time in this much-anticipated West End premiere. LUNCH and, written 20 years later, its sequel THE BOW OF ULYSSES are both set at the seaside where a couple first passionately collide and, decades later, sit reflecting on their wasted life […]
As part of her post-show Q&A series, Mates co-founder Terri Paddock will talk to actor-turned-director Nigel Harman along with Emily Bruni and Shaun Dooley, the stars of his just-opened, Mates-acclaimed Steven Berkoff double bill, Lunch and The Bow of Ulysses at Trafalgar Studios after the evening performance this coming Monday 17 October 2016. Got any questions? Book tickets to join her via the links below.
A New York artistic commune in the early 1940s – occupied by British exiles Benjamin Britten, WH Auden, American novelist Carson McCullers (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter) and stripper Gypsy Rose Lee amongst many other artists – is the setting for Zoe Lewis‘ new play Britten in Brooklyn, which has just premiered at London’s Wilton’s Music Hall.
Shaun Dooley and Emily Bruni are to star in a major West End season of Steven Berkoff one-act plays, Lunch and The Bow of Ulysses, directed by Nigel Harman at Trafalgar Studios in October.
Nigel Harman is to head a first class creative team when he directs a major West End season of Steven Berkoff one-act plays, Lunch and The Bow of Ulysses at Trafalgar Studios for five weeks from Thursday 6 October to Saturday 5 November 2016.

Prime Minister Theresa May has announced that a snap general election will take place on 8 June this year. Her predecessor David Cameron came out of retirement with his reaction to the shock call, and it did not go well for him.
David Cameron is back
Cameron bears principal responsibility for Brexit. As Prime Minister, he pledged to hold an unnecessary referendum as part of a poorly played political sword fight against internal party opponents. The result was Britain leaving the EU thanks to a bun fight between two old Etonians (Cameron and Boris Johnson). Cameron resigned the morning after the vote, leaving others to clean up the mess.
He came out of political retirement on Tuesday morning to react to May’s call for a snap general election on 8 June.
— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) April 18, 2017
But none seemed particularly pleased to hear from the former PM.
A reminder of false promises
Cameron couldn’t have shown up at a better time. He is a reminder of the false promise of the Conservative Party in government. He came to office with the promise of a Big Society, to bring down debt and clear the deficit.
But in reality, he left Britain having racked up more debt than the previous three Labour governments put together. The deficit left by Cameron and George Osborne remains higher than under Labour prior to the financial crisis.
But unlike prior to the financial crisis, the country is not experiencing a financial boom. The government’s austerity programmes have decimated public services, wages, job security, housing security, and the lives of sick, disabled and unemployed people. Just two regions of the UK are as well off or better off than they were in 2007. Unsurprisingly, they are London and the South East. Every other region of the UK is poorer today than in 2007, and some are in full depression.
Meanwhile, the growing fortunes of the super-rich in just two regions of the country are presented as economic growth.
The battle for Britain
On 8 June, UK voters get the chance to bring bogus austerity to an end.
And they will have to ask themselves a question: what kind of country do we want to live in?
Do we want to build a country which rewards cooperation, innovation, team work and excellence? Or continue our decline as a tired lackey of the United States, heaping reward on failure, and prioritising patronage over progress?
These are our choices. Five more years of Theresa May will ensure our departure from the European Union, likely trigger the break-up of the United Kingdom, and leave the UK a less fair, more unequal, and colder place. We can do better.

In terms of design, no change since the new Sony VPL-VW290ES looks like its predecessor – the excellent VW270ES tested in 2018. The changes are inside, with the integration of the Sony X1 video processing processor suitable for video projection. The latter is now responsible for the scaling that allows you to display SD, HD and Full HD content on this 4K SXRD chip thanks to the Sony Reality Creation engine. Already at work on the televisions of the Japanese manufacturer, this motor is very powerful and makes it possible to improve the sharpness of the objects and the microcontrast.
The other characteristics are very close to those of the previous model. We thus find the famous 4K SXRD chip displaying a native definition of 4096 x 2160 px, the true definition of 4K Cinema, an ultra high pressure lamp of 225 W allowing to display a brightness of 1500 lumens with a lifespan of approximately 6000 hours in eco mode (low) and low operating noise (26 dB (A)). The Sony VW290ES and its predecessor are among the very few projectors to have a native 4K chip on board. In fact, DLP Ultra HD video projectors like the Samsung The Premiere (LSP9T) where the Vava 4K UST Laser Projector that we tested use a 0.47 “or 0.66” DLP chip with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 px and using the wobulation 240 Hz or 120 Hz to display an Ultra HD image at 60 Hz.
The Sony VPL-VW290ES video projector is sold for around € 5,500. The Sony VPL-VW270ES is for the moment still on sale for less than 4000 €; it was launched in 2018 at € 5,000 and becomes the current cheapest SXRD 4K model from Sony.
Successor of the Sony VPL-VW260ES and Sony VW270ES, the Sony VPL-VW290ES still offers excellent image quality and very good contrast. The optical part remains unchanged. There is a motorized zoom that can display a base image between 107 and 224 cm with a distance of 3 m and the impressive lens-shift which allows the image to be moved more or less 70 cm in height (from -85% to + 8%) and more or less 62 cm to the sides (from -31% to + 31%) without distortion. For our measurements, the video projector is always placed 3 m from the wall with an image of 2 m base.
Whether in Cinema or Reference mode, the colors displayed by this projector are simply perfect. With a Delta E lower than 3 – threshold below which the eye can no longer differentiate between the colors requested and the colors displayed – the colors can be considered as faithful.
The gamma curve (in gray) aligns almost perfectly with the reference curve (in yellow). The mean measured at 2.16 is also very close to the reference value (2.2). As a result, gray levels are particularly well reproduced.
The same goes for the color temperature. The curve is stable over the entire spectrum and the average measured at 6865 K is very close to the reference value (6500 K), for a perfect rendering, neither too hot nor too cold.
The contrast ratio measured at 2820: 1 is still among the best readings on a projector, but it is a little behind the ratio of 3620: 1 measured on the Sony VW270ES. This difference is explained by the peak brightness of only 135 cd / m², against 173 cd / m² on the VW270ES. As proof, the black level remains identical on the two video projectors (0.05 cd / m²). In practice, the Sony VW290ES displays very deep blacks which make it possible to almost completely eliminate the light frame.
The Sony VPL-VW290ES inherits the Sony X1 video processor already at work on televisions from the Japanese manufacturer. It uses Sony’s Reality Creation engine which scales from Full HD to UHD. The rendering is very good, the accentuation of the contours is well controlled, without exaggeration or adding imperfections. By default, the scaling is soft and it is by playing with the Creation of Reality engine (X-Reality Pro) that it is possible to achieve a more aggressive scaling. The MotionFlow motion compensation engine is still very good for a projector, but remains a step behind that found on the manufacturer’s TVs. There is thus a slight blur behind moving objects and it is unable to perfectly smooth objects, probably due to the lack of a backlight scanning system to deceive retinal persistence. We expected a more impressive gain between the processing of the VW270ES and that of the VW290ES.
The “Entry delay reduction” option reduces the display delay to 35 ms. This mode eliminates the need for image processing, in particular motion compensation, while retaining the image settings in terms of colorimetry, gamma and temperature. It is therefore possible to play with correct colors, which is always appreciable. This input lag of 35 ms results in an offset of a little more than 2 images per second compared to the source; a very low value, which makes it possible to play in good conditions over a very large diagonal.
As is often the case with video projectors, the HDR rendering is rather conservative since the displayed brightness (in gray) is systematically slightly lower than that requested (in yellow). Despite this slight shift, the EOTF curve is rather well followed. The peak brightness is measured at 162 cd / m², a very good value for a video projector.
This video projector is imposing … very imposing. It measures 49.6 x 46.4 x 20.5 cm for a mass of 14 kg. In comparison, a video projector like the BenQ W1090 (34.6 x 21.4 x 10.1 cm for 2.75 kg) appears compact. It is necessary to clearly foresee the place and a solid support to install this model. Fortunately, the lens-shift High performance facilitates off-axis positioning of the projector without distorting the image, and the powerful zoom allows placement far enough from the wall or projection screen.
The side buttons allow the projector to be used without the remote control: power on, choice of source, lens-shift (zoom and focus), menu and directional cross for settings.
Below, there are adjustable feet at the front of the projector to correct the attitude and three screw threads for fixing to the ceiling or to a specific support.
On the other side, there is the connection which consists of two HDMI 2.0b inputs compatible with HDCP 2.2. Next to it are a USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet port, a 12 V switch for controlling a motorized screen, an RS-232 port (home automation integration) and a connector for an optional infrared receiver – useful when both receivers integrated at the front and at the back are masked. The video projector ignores the interesting functions of HDMI 2.1, such as VRR (prevents tearing of the image during vertical synchronization), ALLM (automatically reduces display delay) or even eARC (lossless audio return via HDMI).
The Sony VW290ES takes over the remote control of the VW270ES. Quite imposing, but very versatile, this remote control is pleasant to use thanks to its many direct access keys to the various settings (source, sharpness, contrast, brightness, temperature, gamma, 3D, etc.) as well as to the settings of the lens-shift, zoom and focus. The rubber keys are very pleasant and do not make noise. Finally, all the keys are backlit and, last but not least, the dedicated backlight key is phosphorescent.
Perfectly calibrated image.
Excellent quality rendering, both in 2D and 3D.
Good contrast ratio.
Convenient, backlit remote control.
High performance motorized optics (zoom, focus and lens-shift).
3D glasses not included.
No HDMI 2.1 compatibility (VRR, ALLM, eARC).
The Sony 4K VPL-VW290ES is hands down one of the best 4K Ultra HD projectors, if not simply the best. It delivers a perfectly calibrated image, deep blacks, an appreciable HDR rendering, embeds a versatile motorized optics and even displays 3D compatibility for lovers of relief. The fact remains that this is expensive to pay and, for us, the price difference with the Sony VW270ES is not completely justified; it is better to turn to the latter as long as it is available.

"Long Live Color" #ICFF
Color was all over the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) this year. The fabrics, the furniture, even the rest area were all glowing with vibrant color. I was taking in a colorful wall covering when I ran into Erin Shakoor of Shakoor Interiors . Erin had been at the show all morning and felt that I should experience the Kohler / Jonathan Adler, "We Love Color" exhibit.
Erin was absolutely right! Although it was raining outside, I felt super sunny under the bright lights and vivid color of the booth. According to the rep, that was exactly what Kohler was hoping for.
No one does color for the home quite like Jonathan Alder. It's no wonder Kohler chose Adler to add punch to their existing selection of sink colors.
The Adler/Kohler color collaboration will feature 4 special edition sink colors; Piccadilly Yellow (J14), Greenwich Green( J15), Palermo Blue (J16)(pictured above) and Annapolis Navy(J17)

Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra
by Gelongma Karma Migme Chödrön | 2001 | 941,039 words
This page describes “story of sudatta’s bodhi” as written by Nagarjuna in his Maha-prajnaparamita-sastra (lit. “the treatise on the great virtue of wisdom”) in the 2nd century. This book, written in five volumes, represents an encyclopedia on Buddhism as well as a commentary on the Pancavimsatisahasrika Prajnaparamita.
Appendix 4 - The story of Sudatta’s bodhi
Note: This Appendix is extracted from the Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter LII (hearing the name of the Buddhas):
Thus the eminent (śreṣṭhin) Siu-ta (Sudatta) first heard the name of the Buddha, rejoiced in his heart, went to the Buddha, heard the Dharma and thus obtained bodhi.
Sudatta, better known by he name of Anāthapiṇḍada (in Pāli, Anāthapiṇdika), heard a friend pronounce the word ‘buddha’ three times, but that was not the reason that determined his conversion. He attained, not the bodhi of the arhats but the fruit of srotaāpanna, when, on the next day, the Buddha gave him the graded instructions meant for lay people.
On the conversion of this famous individual, see the Sudatta sutta in Saṃyutta, I, p. 21–212, and the Saṃyuktāgamas, T 99, no. 592, k. 22, p. 157b18–158b23; T 100, no. 186, k. 9, p. 440b2–441a26; the Pāli Vin., II, p. 154–157; the Mahīśāsaka Vin., T 1421, k. 25, p. 166b9–167b4; the Dharmaguptaka Vin., T 1428, k. 50, p. 938b20–939a27; the Sarv. Vin., T 1435, k. 34, p. 243c20– 244b15; the Mūlasarv. Vin., Saṃghabheda, ed. Gnoli, I, p. 166–170, and Śayanāvastu, ed. R. Gnoli, p. 14–18.
Having come to Rājagṛha on business, Sudatta went to his brother-in-law Rājagṛhaka and found him in the midst of preparing a fine banquet. He asked if he was celebrating a wedding or of he was getting ready to receive king Bimbisāra. His brother-in-law replied with these words: “I am not celebrating a wedding and I am not receiving king Bimbisāra; however, I am preparing a big sacrifice because tomorrow I have invited the saṃgha with the Buddha at its head (api ca me mahāyañño paccupaṭṭhito, svātanāya buddhapamukho saṃgho nimantito).”
“Did you say the Buddha?” asked Sudatta. “Yes, O householder, I did say the Buddha” (buddho ‘ti tvaṃ gahapati vadesiti. – buddo ‘t’ āhaṃ gahapati vadāmīti). This question was asked three times and three times the same answer was given. Then Sudatta ended: “The word ‘buddha’ is indeed rare in the world” (ghoso pi kho eso dullabho lokasmin yad idaṃ buddho buddho ‘ti).
But as the Traité comments here, Sudatta heard it three times but did not take immediate advantage of it. He wished to go immediately to the Buddha who was then in the Sītavana near Rājagṛha. Thinking that the time was inopportune, his brother-in-law advised him to wait until tomorrow. Sudatta was so impatient to meet the Teacher that he woke up three times during the night thinking that it was dawn.
Finally the gates of the Sītavana were opened and Sudatta saw the Buddha who was seated and who invited him to approach. Sudatta fell down at his feet. After exchanging salutations, the Teacher explained the graded teachings to him (anupūrvī kathā): he spoke to him about generosity, morality and heaven; he explained the dangers of desire and the benefits of renunciation; he ended his sermon with the four noble truths. It was only then that the dust-free stainless eye of the Dharma arose in Sudatta (virajaṃ vitamalaṃ dhammacakkhuṃ udapādi): this is the expression dedicated to designate, not accession to abhisaṃbodhi or even the bodhi of the arhats, but simply the attainment of the first fruit of the religious life, the fruit of srotaāpanna.
It does not appear that in his lifetime Sudatta ever attained arhathood. Proof of this is that after he died he was reborn among the gods: the Anāthapiṇḍika of the Saṃyutta, I, p. 51–56, speaks of a Sudatta devaputta (§ 6) and an Anāthapiṇḍika devaputta (§ 10).
Therefore, according to the canonical sūtras, it is not sufficient to hear the word ‘buddha’ in order to be settled, by that very fact, in supreme complete enlightenment.

Description: "During the psychologically fertile years of the 1940s and 1950s," wrote textbook authors Moursund and Erskine, "new schools of thought were taking hold in the U.S. psychotherapeutic community. Two of these, as radically different from each other as they were from the ideas of the psychoanalysts, were to leave their own indelible marks on the psychotherapeutic landscape. Each has become a part of the thinking-the psychological worldview-of virtually every therapist in practice today. These two schools of thought were behavioristic learning theory on the one hand, and the client-centered therapy of Carl Rogers on the other.

Closing the Loop on Tremor: A Responsive Deep Brain Stimulator for the Treatment of Essential Tremor
The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness and safety of Responsive Deep Brain Stimulation (R-DBS) for Essential Tremor (ET). Current DBS therapy for ET leaves the device on all of the time, even when you do not have tremor.
With R-DBS, the device will only turn on when you make certain movements that lead to tremor. Continuous DBS can lead to undesirable side effects such as stuttering, walking/balance problems. R-DBS will turn on only in response to a signal in your brain prior to and during tremor, and therefore the DBS will not be on all of the time.
The device actually has the potential to see a brain signal change associated with your tremor less than a second before the tremor occurs. We hope that R-DBS will provide the same benefit with fewer side effects. We believe that R-DBS may also prolong the battery life of your implant.
- Because you are in the study, you have already decided and been approved to have DBS surgery.
- As part of your study participation, prior to the insertion of the DBS wires, the surgeon will insert an additional 4-contact paddle lead (Model 09130 Subdural Quadripolar Paddle Lead) into the same burr hole as the DBS lead. This strip will lie on the top of your brain and will be placed in a position where tremor signals are detected. During the procedure to place the investigational strip, we will record additional measurements of your brain’s activity.
- You will come back about a month later to have the battery placed in your chest, under general anesthesia, that will control the stimulation produced by the lead. The brain sensor allows the research team to evaluate brain activity that may be related to your tremor, and the lead provides stimulation to hopefully reduce frequency and severity of your tremor.
- You will return to our clinic monthly for 3-4 consecutive days at a time for the first 6 months to find your optimal stimulation parameters and for the research team to download your brain activity captured by the sensors. Ideally, the downloaded brain activity will work with stimulation to more efficiently capture your tremor. After this 6 month period, you will return every 3-6 months for similar 3-4 day visits to check and reprogram the devices as necessary, until Month 24.
- The length of your participation will be 24 months.
- Diagnosis of Essential Tremor for at least 3 years.
- Significant disabling, medication-refractory upper extremity tremor for at least 3 months prior to implantation.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN has immense contribution in order to bring various achievements to the world. It is an international concern which was established in the year 1954 with the help of the 12 European Governments. Standing at the 21st century, CERN has 20 European states as its member. However to take membership, there are certain criteria’s. The only purpose of CERN is to operate the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. Often the term CERN is also used to refer to the laboratory that employs around 2,400 full-time employees, around 1,500 part-time employees and have nearly 10,000 visiting scientists and experts in respective fields and nevertheless the laboratory have to represent at least 608 Universities as well as research facilities and must have 113 nationalities.
Since the inception of the organization, CERN has done some amazing scientific experiments making use of particle physics. In the year 1973 the finding of Neutral currents in the Gargamelle bubble chamber was very noteworthy. However CERN has not turned down the world’s expectation and it has made many of the scientific achievements in the consecutive years. In the year 1983, in the UA1 and UA2, the unearthing of W and Z bosons, in 1989 the determination of the number of light neutrino families at the large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP), that operates on the Z boson peak, then comes the creation of the first anti hydrogen atoms in the PS210 experiment in 1995, the discovery of direct CP violation in the NA48 experiment in 1999, in the year 2010 the isolation of 38 atoms of anti hydrogen, that follows maintaining anti hydrogen for over 15 minutes and a boson with mass around 125 GeV/c2 consistent with long sought Higgs boson in the year 2012.
The scientists of CERN have earned various prestigious awards for their contribution in particle physics. The noble Prize in the year 1984 was given to Carlo Rubbia and Simon Van Der Meer for the developments which gave birth to W and Z bosons. The Nobel Prize in physics for the year 1992 was given to CERN staff researcher Georges Charpak for his discovery of particle detectors. Even the birth place of WWW (World Wide Web) was also at CERN. The project initially started as “Enquire” initiated by Tim Berners-Lee in the year 1989 to help the researchers across the globe to access all the data and information to facilitate their researches. Yet the project was aimed at facilitating sharing information among researchers. The first website that went online was in the year 1991. CERN has now become the centre for grid computing and hosting projects.
