Over the years Nissan vehicles have been equipped with a variety of different types of brake calipers. The type of caliper installed on a particular Nissan will depend on the model, year and trim level of the vehicle. Here we will provide an overview of the different types of Nissan brake calipers and how they work.
Floating caliper brake systems are the most common type of caliper used on most Nissan vehicles. In this type of system, the caliper has two pistons and is mounted on a single slider. This slider is used to move the caliper in and out as the pads wear, allowing the pads to remain in contact with the rotor.
Fixed caliper brake systems are typically found on more sophisticated models, such as the Nissan GT-R. In this type of system, the caliper is mounted in a fixed location on the brake rotor. As the brake pads wear, the caliper does not shift, instead the pads are forced apart by a pair of steel pins located on either side of the caliper. This system allows for more consistent brake performance and better control of the brake pads.
Pistonless caliper systems are becoming increasingly popular on modern Nissan models. In this system, the brake pads are directly connected to an actuator, which is mounted in the caliper housing. As the brake pedal is depressed, a series of plates within the actuator move to compress the brake pads against the rotor. This system offers improved braking response and more consistent brake feel.
Finally, there are sliding caliper brake systems. These systems feature a single caliper that slides along an axle in order to move the pads closer to the rotor. These systems are typically used on performance vehicles and are designed to provide improved feedback and more consistent braking performance.
No matter what type of caliper is installed on your Nissan vehicle, the importance of regularly servicing and maintaining the brakes cannot be overstated. Regular brake checks can help to ensure that your brakes are performing optimally, while also helping to prevent wear and tear on the brake components. Ultimately, this will result in improved performance and longer lasting brake components.


NASA’s forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled to launch by May 2027, is expected to offer significant new information about the elusive substance dark matter.
The goal of the telescope is to investigate the voids in stellar streams, especially those coming from globular clusters that are circling the Andromeda galaxy. Under the direction of Stanford University’s Christian Aganze, the project looks at the gaps and disruptions in these heavenly streams in an effort to learn more about dark matter.
Mapping the universe with Roman’s accuracy
With its 18 detectors, Roman’s Wide Field Instrument is expected to transform the field of observation. Capturing images 200 times larger than the near-infrared camera of the Hubble Space Telescope and with slightly better quality, the telescope is ready to take incredibly detailed pictures of the Andromeda galaxy. Aganze said that “Roman will be able to take a huge snapshot of the Andromeda galaxy, which simply isn’t possible with any other telescope.” It is anticipated that this improved resolution would make it possible to identify individual stars within streams of globular clusters, offering astronomical views never before possible with such clarity.
About 27% of the cosmos is made up of dark matter, which is not visible to the naked eye because it does not interact with light. On the other hand, one important indirect sign is its impact on galaxies, especially in terms of explaining rotational patterns. “We see dark matter’s effect on galaxies,” says Northwestern University’s Tjitske Starkenburg, emphasising the necessity for extra mass in galaxy rotation models, which dark matter may be able to account for.
Globe cluster streams’ function
Investigating dark matter can be aided by globular cluster streams, which are described as cosmic ribbons trailing and leading their starting clusters. According to the findings, there may be visible gaps formed by dark matter clumps piercing through these streams. The unparalleled capabilities of the Roman Space Telescope will enable scientists to investigate adjacent galaxies for the first time, thereby greatly expanding the dataset for thin star streams, in contrast to earlier observations that were restricted to the Milky Way.
Roman is expected to interact with surrounding galaxies effectively, providing important data in as little as one hour of observation time, according to the research team. The relationship between globular cluster streams and dark matter sub-halos is also conjectured in this work. “If these sub-halos are present in other galaxies, we predict that we will see gaps in globular cluster streams that are likely caused by dark matter,” says Tjitske Starkenburg, summarising the expectation. This in turn offers fresh perspectives on the characteristics and masses of dark matter halos.
The universe as it appears to dark matter researchers
Along with the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the Roman Space Telescope is getting ready for flight. When combined, these efforts have the potential to fundamentally alter our knowledge of dark matter by yielding insightful information that will improve simulations and expand our understanding of the large-scale structure of the cosmos.
In summary, according to a NASA press release, the Roman Space Telescope is poised to conduct a ground-breaking investigation into the voids between stars, potentially revealing hitherto undiscovered aspects of the universe and providing an answer to the enigma surrounding dark matter.

The White Mountaineering presentation opened with designer Yosuke Aizawa's first full capsule collection for Adidas Originals (previously, he had only created footwear for the athletic behemoth). The 10 body-con looks—all in a palette of gray, blue, black, and white—reinterpreted essential sports layers like a chef deconstructs a legendary dish. Simply by angling the iconic stripes diagonally or tweaking their tone, he made them more kinetic. The all-navy sneakers were Aizawa's strongest contribution; again, nothing reinvented yet noticeably finessed. Or, as Nic Galway, vice president of global design at Adidas Originals, put it: "He looks forward while staying true to the archive."
While there's no question as to the compatibility of these mates, the designer was at peak performance when going solo. Here, he operates outside the playbook, unafraid to imbue his functional apparel with a distinct flamboyance. Embroidered bulls attempted to butt heads from opposite sides of a navy blouson, and a vaguely Ottoman decorative pattern livened up a nylon combo of shell and shorts with a corresponding jacquard base layer. He took a self-referential turn by printing the pattern specifications of his garments onto the completed pieces. All the while, ruched sweatpants, T-shirts with flattened seams that eliminated stitching, finely perforated jerseys, and jackets in camo jacquard that mimicked suede reinforced Aizawa's faith in fabrication above high-octane image. Original, indeed.

DULUTH, Minn.- The Cloquet Lumberjacks, defending section champions, chopped down the Marshall Hilltoppers in prep girls soccer with a final score of 8-2 on Oct. 12.
After this game, the Lumberjacks end the regular season with a record of 6-8-2, while the Hilltoppers ending record is 3-3-0.
With rankings determined, this game had nothing to do with the playoffs that are approaching fast, but it can help with determining what each team should work on. "The biggest concern I have is my players' lack of focus," Hilltoppers' Coach Matthew Whittaker said. "At this point in the season they know what they need to do, and last night, they were not doing any of the small things to make a difference."
The Lumberjacks dominated the game with eight goals and a total of 25 shots on goal. Sadie Micke had four of those goals and Emily Rikkola had two. Emily Wangen and Carri Zeadow both had a goal apiece.
The game was close in the first half score at 3-2 with the Lumberjacks in the lead. The Lumberjacks meant business in the second half and scored two goals within the first three and a half minutes of play, with one bouncing right over Hilltopper goalie Emily Couture's head.
"We knew Jessie Ryan would be tough in the middle," said Whittaker, discussing key Lumberjack players. "Emily Rikkola was also on our radar because of her wheels and scoring ability, but again, we simply did not step up our play to stop those players."
On the Hilltoppers' side, Emily Diener and Angela Katoski had nice breakaways, despite the team's inability to move the ball during the game. The Lumberjacks held possession of the ball the majority of the time, with the ball crossing over the center line only a handful of times in the second half.
This game wraps up the regular season for both teams. With playoffs right around the corner, Lumberjacks' Coach Dustin Randall feels confident about making a playoff run. "Our team is regaining a few key players that missed time with injuries for the bulk of the season and it's coming together nicely," Randall said.

Write that epic story about Veronica Mars helping G.I. Joe with a mysterious murder on an Army base and make it legit, thanks to a new licensing agreement between Amazon, Hasbro, and Warner Bros.
Amazon Publishing plans to open up seven new Kindle Worlds based on Hasbro's popular G.I. Joe brand; Warner Bros. TV show (and upcoming movie) "Veronica Mars"; and Warner Bros. "Pretty Little Liars" spin-off "Ravenswood."
Kindle Worlds let any writer publish authorized stories inspired by popular "worlds" and make them available for readers to purchase in the Kindle Store. Currently, writers have a choice of more than 20 worlds, with the new ones expected to open in the next few months.
This announcement couldn't come at a better time, considering G.I. Joe celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Now fans can legally write and sell stories on Amazon starring G.I. Joe, Snake Eyes, and COBRA Commander.
"Whether exploring the secrets of the mummy's tomb, or defending freedom from the evil plots of COBRA, G.I. Joe has been there," said Michael Kelly, Hasbro's director of global publishing. "It is with equal excitement that Hasbro now enters a new segment of the business by embracing the concept of open-source storytelling, and officially unlocking the world of G.I. Joe to our fans through Amazon's Kindle Worlds."
The licensing announcement with Warner Bros. also coincides with the upcoming release of the crowdfunded film version of "Veronica Mars."
In addition to the G.I. Joe and Veronica Mars properties, licensing deals will launch worlds from best-selling authors Marcus Sakey ("The Abnorm Chronicles") and Theresa Ragan ("The Lizzy Gardner Files"), and new comics properties "Quantum and Woody" and "Eternal Warrior" from Valiant Entertainment.
"In just a few months since our launch, we've published hundreds of new stories with great customer reviews reflecting the high quality of so many of these submissions," said Nick Loeffler, general manager of Kindle Worlds. "While it's very early days, we are thrilled with the initial reception from licensors and readers and look forward to adding additional worlds soon."

Facing surgery can be a frightening experience fraught with questions, doubts and uncertainties. However, most surgeries are elective, meaning that you decide if surgery is the best option for you and elect to have the procedure. This decision process often gives you needed time to prepare, which is an important step. Research suggests that women who prepare mentally and physically for surgery have fewer complications, less pain and recover more quickly than those who don't prepare.
- "Preparation for Surgery | HealthyWomen." Ed. Ranit Mishori, 28 Apr. 2011.
Gynecological surgeon Prethi Vaddadi,MD has recently joined the SIMED Women’s Health team and she specializes in robotic surgery. This style of surgery is minimally invasive and represents the new standard in gynecological care for Hysterectomy, uterine fibroids, correction of vaginal prolapse, pelvic reconstructive surgery, reversal of Tubal Ligation, urinary leakage/incontinence procedures, and Endometriosis. Dr. Vaddadi took the time to answer some frequently asked questions about these procedures, and about gynecology in general.
What questions should women be asking their gynecologist?
Women should feel comfortable asking their gynecologist: “How often should I see a gynecologist?” “How often should I get pap smears?” “What are the different options of contraception that are available?” “What STDs am I at risk for and how do we screen for them?” “When do I need to start screening for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and colon cancer?”
What method of gynecological surgery is right for me?
Gynecological surgery ranges from minimally invasive methods to open abdominal procedures. Robotic surgery, Laparoscopic surgery, Vaginal surgery and Ablations are examples of minimally invasive surgeries. Patients who have scar tissues, complex circumstances, large masses, and cancer are typically not candidates for this type of surgery.
The gynecological surgery alternatives are tailored specifically to each patient and their particular symptoms. A thorough evaluation of each patient including the history and a physical is always needed. Once the evaluation has been established, a plan of care is initiated based on each individual patient’s needs.
The goal is to do the least invasive and most conservative therapy to take care of a patient’s problem. This can often be done with a minimally invasive procedure, including the robotic surgeries.
As for patients who are high risk surgical candidates or whose health needs to be optimized prior to definitive surgical management, minimally invasive radiological interventions may also be explored such as uterine artery embolization to control hemorrhage in cases of large uterine fibroids.
What should I expect before, during and after a hysterectomy?
There are multiple ways to perform a hysterectomy including vaginally, laparoscopically, robotically, and abdominally. Determining which route is the best for a patient depends on: size of uterus or mass, previous surgical history, weight, medical comorbidities, and pathology. Before any surgery, the goal is to always optimize a patient’s health in order to ensure safety for the patient to undergo any surgical procedure. This usually includes a visit with a primary care doctor and any other additional work up if needed.
The length of hospital stay ranges from going home the day of surgery to staying overnight in the hospital, to a hospital stay of a few days for some complex cases. If no complications occur, patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery i.e. vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery, usually are discharged home either the same day or the next day. Pain is usually less and recovery is faster with minimally invasive surgery. Recovery from a hysterectomy can range from 1 week to 6 weeks, with the shorter duration of time to recovery associated more often with the minimally invasive options.
What are the common misconceptions about removing a cervix?
Common misconceptions about removing a cervix at the time of the hysterectomy include sexual function and pelvic support. Dr. Vaddadi states that additional steps are taking to ensure adequate pelvic support at the time of the hysterectomy these steps decrease rates of pelvic organ prolapse. Pelvic support and sexual function are normally NOT affected by removing the cervix. For women who desire to keep their cervix, routine cervical cancer screening is necessary, and an effect of keeping the cervix can be cyclically vaginal bleeding resulting from retained uterine tissue near the cervix.
Will my physical activity need to be limited after a hysterectomy?
Physical activity is usually limited for 6 weeks following surgery to ensure adequate tissue healing. This includes lifting, working out and sexual intercourse.
Will I still need to have annual checkups and pap smears after my hysterectomy?
Yes, annual checkups with a gynecologist are necessary to screen for STDs, management of hormones, screen for breast cancer, and osteoporosis. Annual checkups also are important for management of contraception, menopausal symptoms, and most importantly the overall management of women’s health issues.
The need for surveillance Pap smears following hysterectomy depends on whether the cervix remains or was removed. If the cervix remains Pap smears monitoring is unchanged from women who have their uterus. If a hysterectomy was performed due to cervical dysplasia (a pre cancer condition) or cervical cancer Pap smears will continue for a while. Fortunately women who have had a hysterectomy for non-cancer, and non-dysplasia reasons will be free of the need of future Pap smears.
If I have a hysterectomy, do my ovaries need to be removed?
Ultimately, the decision to remove a patient's ovaries, in the setting of benign disease, is left to the patient. With the understanding that the normal ovary may turn into cancer, disease or pain in the future, patients may decide whether or not to preserve ovarian tissues. Removal of the ovaries results in “surgical menopause.” Which causes an abrupt drop in estrogen hormone levels. The premature loss of estrogen may cause hot flashes, and increased risk of developing osteoporosis, heart disease and stroke.
Occasionally despite surgery to remove an ovary, portions of the ovary can be left behind (called residual ovary syndrome), this may need treatment/surgery in the future. For those patients who have their ovaries removed prior to menopause, hormone replacement therapy is explored to help manage menopausal symptoms. For women with gynecological malignancies, there are usually clear indications to remove the ovaries and Fallopian tubes.
If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with Dr. Prethi Vaddadi to discuss your GYN concerns or any of our SIMED Women’s Health physicians at any of our locations including Gainesville, Ocala, Chiefland, Lady Lake (The Villages), and Lake City; you can contact SIMED Women’s Health or click here to request an appointment online.


Problems concerning fluid-structure-interaction are often encountered in aquaculture engineering. For a moving slender structure like fishing net or floater in currents and waves, modified Morison Equation is a widely employed formula to estimate its hydrodynamic loads. The hydrodynamic forces are closely dependent on the structures’ velocity and acceleration, and quadratic relative velocity in the equation even adds nonlinearity in the forces. To study the hydroelastic response, two time-saving loosely coupling methods, calculating the hydrodynamic forces based on the structure’s response in the previous time step without iteration, are proposed in this paper. The loose coupling methods were proved to affect the traditional stability criteria for time integration. Based on the two loose coupling methods, the stability and accuracy of a slender beam’s hydroelasticity undergoing large deformation were studied. The calculated responses were compared against strong coupling results. It was found that if loose coupling is assumed in added mass force, unconditional instability is likely to occur. On the other hand, the accuracy of numerical results can be improved with smaller time increments set if loose coupling is only assumed in the quadratic relative drag force.

The historic Dreamland building in Oak Bluff may soon be more than just a fading facade seen from the street.
JB Blau, a well-known Island businessman and restaurant owner, has announced plans to turn the second floor of the building into a music and entertainment spot. A grand opening is planned for July 13 with a group of Island bands, followed by a summer-long lineup of entertainment that includes comedy acts, a CD release party and more musical events.
“In the 1900s it was the Dreamland ballroom,” Mr. Blau said. “We are kind of bringing that back.”
Mr. Blau owns both Sharky’s Cantina restaurants on the Island and last July opened the Martha’s Vineyard Chowder House in the ground floor space at the Dreamland. The building is owned by Oak Bluffs businessmen Mark and Mike Wallace. Mr. Blau’s business partner is chef Alex Nagi.
The 5,300-square-foot upstairs room has been renovated and restored with white walls, high ceiling beams, an open floor plan and a private front room with French doors.
Mr. Blau said the plan calls for using the space for weddings, fund-raising events, comedy shows, theatre and live bands, to name a few.
The plan to turn Dreamland into a music and entertainment venue coincides with the closing of Nectar’s, the popular former nightclub at the airport that now houses Flatbread Pizza.
“We started with weddings, but then particularly when the events at the airport unfolded, it became evident that there was a keep-the-music-alive call going out,” Mr. Blau said.
Phil daRosa, owner of the Print Shop Studio and a member of local bands, has been hired as the Dreamland entertainment director.
“What I’m trying to do is bridge the gap between national bands and local acts that work really well together,” Mr. daRosa said.
He has booked DCLA (Dukes County Love Affair), 2nd Power, Island Thunder and possibly the Grateful Dread for Dreamland’s opening night on Friday, July 13. The next night DJ Di and company will takes the stage, and on Sunday things will get funky with locals Biggie Shorty and Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band from Asheville, N.C.
“The Island needs something like this,” Mr. daRosa said. “Musicians need a place like this . . . it’s like a launching pad for them.”
But it’s not all about music, he added.
“The other thing I’m really trying to focus on in entertainment is encompassing all forms of art into this space. Rather than it being just a club or an art gallery or a wedding venue, we are trying to make it something people haven’t experienced before.”
Plans for the space include a comedy festival on July 19 and 20, and a fashion show in September. Other bands booked for July and August include Entrain’s CD release show on July 20, Erich Luening and Friends on July 27, jazz pianist Jason Moran on August 6 and reggae singer iWayne on August 10.
“Dreamland itself just represents everything that you can dream of,” Mr. Blau said.
After three years of permitting and regulatory issues, including conflicts with neighbors and a detailed review by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, building owner Mark Wallace said he is happy to move forward.
“I don’t want to rehash all the aggravation that it took us to get here,” Mr. Wallace said. “We’re finally here. We’ve had the support of a lot of people and, once it actually opens, they will see the benefits.”
MVC approval came with conditions for installing sound mitigation measures in the building, and Mr. Blau said those have been done: New soffits were built and the walls now have multiple layers of sheetrock and sound board to insulate noise.
Paul Foley, a planner and DRI coordinator at the commission, said this week the Dreamland building passed its final sound test done by a professional acoustic engineer.
“They appeared to have done everything they were asked to do and maybe even more,” he said.
Mr. Blau said he is scheduled to give an update to the Oak Bluffs selectmen on Tuesday and will have an inspection from the fire department this week.
Over the past century, Dreamland has had its share of ups and downs, owners and operators, looks and uses.
In the early 1900s it was a hall for dancing and moving pictures, and during World War II it was used as a recreation center for the Navy. The building also has been an automobile garage, a skating rink and an arcade.
But when Ryan Family Amusements changed locations to Circuit avenue in 2005, the second floor of Dreamland was left to collect dust.
“Nobody wants to see a building sitting empty, and this has been doing that for seasons,” said Mr. Blau. “This has been an event space — a ballroom, a poolroom, a game room — for 112 years. So it’s not a change of use, it’s just a use.”

Oil content, peanut seed content and the interaction of both factors significantly influenced the textural quality of peanut butter. Spreadability as measured by sensory methodology as well as instrumental measures indicated better quality as percent oil increased from 40 to 50% and peanut seed content increased from 90 to 95%. The higher peanut seed content had a significant improvement on the spreadability of the butter containing 40% oil with no influence for the 50% oil sample. The reverse was true for all adhesiveness measurements. Jamaican peanut butter exhibited textural qualities similar to the butter containing 40% oil.

By R. Bruce Striegler
“I’m an engineer, and engineers build things”, says Alberta-born Neil Camarta, founder and Director of Enlighten Innovations Inc. One of the things Mr. Camarta has ‘built’ and which is currently occupying much of his time, is the development and commercialization of a new bitumen sulphur removal and upgrading technology called DSU, which can be used in upgrading Alberta bitumen. The proprietary technology is undergoing testing at a ten barrel per day, $30 million pilot plant in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta and has been operational since the end of 2015. Camarta says, “Our pilot plant has confirmed our technology and we are now building a demonstration facility to produce 2500 barrels of finished low sulphur marine fuel from heavy oil stocks. We expect our CLEANSEAS plant to be ready in 2020.”
The CLEANSEAS project is a commercial scale of the technology and signifies a critical step towards full commercial rollout. Mr. Camarta says that the DSU technology reduces GHG emissions on a lifecycle basis by up to 40 per cent compared to alternative pathways for production of marine fuel, a market he is particularly targeting. New fuel standards for the international shipping industry with tighter pollution rules imposed by the International Maritime Organization, dubbed IMO 2020, are set to take effect Jan. 1, 2020. The new standards will see the sulphur content limit of “bunker” fuel on ships dropping from 3.5 per cent to just 0.5 per cent. The switch is expected to hit prices for heavy oil containing high levels of sulphur — exactly the kind of the raw bitumen that makes up about half of Canada’s 4.4 million barrels per day of crude oil production.
A lifetime of work in the petroleum industry yields new innovations
Camarta, with a degree in Chemical Engineering, clearly understands the need and the potential impact of his new development. His long history in the energy industry has given him a unique view of the Alberta resource and its opportunity. Camarta joined Shell Canada in 1975, holding senior positions in Canada and abroad. Most notably, he led the successful development, construction and start-up of Shell’s $6 billion Athabasca Oil Sands Project. Camarta’s resume includes time as Executive Vice-President, Natural Gas for Suncor Energy Inc., also as the Chief Executive Officer of Shell Albian Sands Inc., and Senior Vice President of Oil Sands at Petro-Canada and he served as its Vice-President of Corporate Planning and Communications.
Neil Camarta also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Western Hydrogen Ltd., and Executive Vice President of Natural Gas at Suncor Energy Inc. He has operated in senior executive positions or holds directorships with a number of other energy companies and is a director of ENMAX Corp. (an energy company owned by the City of Calgary). Camarta is also a director of MindFuel (formerly the Science Alberta Foundation) and FSHD Canada Foundation. He served on the Board of the Alberta Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS). Neil Camarta was inducted into the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame earlier this year. “I’ve spent my career with Shell, Petro-Canada and Suncor building mega projects at home and worldwide, but I have to say, the thing I’ve enjoyed the most in the last few years is working on developing this new technology, it’s as much fun as developing mega-projects.”
Alberta bitumen requires “upgrading” before transporting by pipeline
Bitumen extracted from oil sands is a heavy crude oil which contains a large fraction of complex long-chain hydrocarbon molecules. Depending on the extraction process used, bitumen product can sometimes contain as much as two percent water and solids, which does not meet pipeline specifications for transport over long distances. Pipeline specs can be met either by upgrading or dilution with a very light oil. Further, bitumen produced from the oil sands is not only heavy, but also contains heavy metals, corrosive salts and a significant amount of sulphur. These impurities pose processing challenges to the downstream refinery, limiting the marketability of the product and even the selling price. Currently, about 60 per cent of bitumen produced from the oil sands is diluted, typically with natural gas condensate, and sold directly to market as a heavy/sour blend. The remaining 40 percent is upgraded into a light/sweet synthetic crude before being sold to downstream refineries. All upgraded bitumen is currently sourced from oil sands mining operations, while most diluted bitumen is sourced from in-situ facilities.
It is worth noting that oil is recovered using two main methods: mining and in situ. The method employed depends on how deep the oil sands reserves are deposited. Eighty per cent of the oil sands reserves are too deep to be mined: reserves that are more than 70 meters (200 feet) below the surface will be recovered through drilling into the reserves, and injecting steam, combustion or other sources of heat into the reservoir. The heat warms the bitumen so it can be pumped to the surface through recovery wells. Advances in technology, such as directional drilling, enable in situ operations to drill multiple wells (sometimes more than 20) from a single location, further reducing surface disturbance. Due to the depth of the reserves, recovery rates for the methods of extracting bitumen vary. Drilling methods cannot be used in mining areas, and vice-versa.
Mining is used when deposits lie within 70 meters (200 feet) of the earth’s surface – about 20 per cent of oil sands reserves. Like most surface mining operations, oil sands are scooped by large shovels into trucks and taken to crushers where the large clumps of clay are broken down. The sands are then mixed with hot water so they can travel through a pipeline to a plant where the bitumen is separated from the other components. All upgraded bitumen is currently sourced from oil sands mining operations, while most diluted bitumen is sourced from in-situ facilities.
Targeting the demand created by changing marine fuel standards in 2020
“The largest single consumer of high-sulphur heavy oil is the marine industry,” says Camarta. “The ships that sail upon the sea burn about four million barrels a day of 3.5 per cent sulphur. In fact, the world’s 15 largest ships create more pollution in the form of sulphur dioxide than all the cars in the world put together. So that’s our market. We would take the sulphur out of heavy oil and then we would take it to tidewater and sell it into the shipping industry, because our oil fits the new sulphur regulations perfectly.”
The coming marine fuel emissions rules could well result in even lower demand for Canadian heavy oil, reducing its net price to producers even further. Most bunker fuel burned on ships is derived from the “residue” that remains after all of the more valuable light fuels such as gasoline and diesel have been removed from crude oil in a refinery. Following combustion in the engine, the sulphur in the fuel becomes sulphur oxides, a pollutant that causes respiratory symptoms and lung disease as well as acid rain, which can harm crops, forests and aquatic species, and contributes to the acidification of the oceans. IMO first began restricting emissions in 2005 and its limits on sulphur in bunker fuel have been progressively tightened. Four “emission control areas” in Europe and North America already have a 0.1 per cent limit.
Developing the DSU process and accelerating to commercialization
“After about my third retirement, I met up with a former associate, Guy Turcotte, also a chemical engineer, and posed the question, Can we develop cleaner and cheaper ways of producing oil from the oilsands? We put ourselves out there as a start-up knowing we could recognize good ideas; we would provide the capital to commercialize those ideas.” (Turcotte founded and worked as President and CEO of Western Oil Sands, which was sold to Marathon Oil for $6.5 billion in 2007) Mr. Camarta continued, noting that “We talked to a lot of people, some were crackpots, some not. This bunch came in from Golden, Colorado with the last name Coors.” It turns out that they were the beer folk and they were the ones with the good idea. “They had been talking with other oil majors, but the other companies were a bit slow to act. I recognized their ideas as a much simpler process than I’d been used to.” Camarta then describes how they licenced the technology from Coors, committed to scaling up the idea and began to figure out how to commercialize their process. “That’s the simple version of the beginning of the DSU idea.” He then describes the process of upgrading, explaining, “Conventional upgrading, and I’ve built several really big upgraders, take the hydrocarbon molecules and break them down into smaller molecules. That’s how you turn the oil from the oil sands into gasoline. The process uses a lot of temperature, pressure and energy, takes a lot of capital and produces a lot of emissions.”
In contrast, the DSU process has no direct SOx (sulphur oxides) or GHG emissions – and it does not leave big piles of coke or asphaltenes behind. The key to the process is sodium, a powerful reducing agent with a strong affinity for sulphur and metals atoms interspersed in the complex heavy oil molecules. “In our lab and in our pilot plant in Alberta, we have successfully demonstrated that we can produce vessel-ready IMO and ECA-compliant marine bunker fuels directly from vacuum residue and other heavy feedstocks – including some bottoms that are so heavy they are solid at room temperature.”
DSU proves out at approximately half the cost of conventional upgraders
“We mix sodium with oil, and sodium melts at 100 degrees centigrade. It has the same physical properties as oil, the same density, and it mixes well with the oil,” says Camarta. And what it does when it gets in the oil, it reacts specifically with the nasty stuff, exactly the stuff you want to get out of oil, the dirty stuff. You want to get out the acid, you want to get out the metals, you want to get out the sulphur. That’s what the sodium goes for and it’s the sodium that removes that stuff from the oil, so it cleans up the oil in one step.”
One key innovation is the system of recovering and recycling the elemental sodium, done by passing material through electrified ceramic plates. The process has no direct emissions of sulphur or nitrogen oxide, two serious forms of air pollution, and produces about half the greenhouse gases of conventional upgrading. “Building a 10,000 barrel-a-day plant would cost about $300 million, roughly half the budget for a conventional facility, and the $10-a-barrel operating cost is also half what it now takes to run such operations,” Camarta says, adding that upgraded Alberta bitumen could be sent by rail to coastal terminals and pumped directly into ships with no need to go through a refinery.
The CLEARSEAS demonstration plant is designed so the equipment rests on ten skids, each four metres by four metres by 16 metres. Future commercial upgraders would be a multiple of this size so they could be set up easily. “That building block is a good scale and allows us to roll out quickly, so we don’t have to build one big plant every five years,” notes Camarta.
Capital-intensive development secures public sector investment
In May of this year, the Alberta government, through its Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) initiative, announced up to $70.6 million in funding toward oilsands projects estimated to result in potential greenhouse gas emissions reductions of up to four megatonnes of annual CO2 equivalent reductions in Alberta by 2030. Nine companies made it into the finals, with Camarta’s Enlighten Innovations Inc. receiving $10 million for its CLEANSEAS Demonstration Project. The CLEANSEAS project is a commercial scale of the technology and signifies a critical step toward full commercial rollout. Commercial implementation of the technology will involve construction of modules at the same scale as the demonstration plant. The modules can be installed close to bitumen production facilities or refining facilities.
In July this year, Natural Resources Canada released the semi-finalists that will compete for their share of a $155 million investment prize later this year aimed at clean technology in energy, mining and forestry, and ten oilsands technologies are on the list, Camarta’s CLEANSEAS demonstration plant included. “About half the oilsands production is upgraded by conventional upgraders, but the other half isn’t upgraded, it goes directly into the market in the U.S. where big upgraders process it. Oilsands bitumen has about five per cent sulphur and a lot of heavy metals he notes. “As there’s more of a penalty put upon sulphur, that’s going to come back and haunt the oilsands. “
Come 2020 when the green industries stop buying and burning 3.5 per cent, they’re going to burn a lot less of this heavy sulphur stuff. That’s going to push back against the oilsands just like it’s going to push back against all heavy oil production. The net impact of this is going to be lower prices, but there’s such a discount already because of lack of pipeline capacity that the impacts of reduced sulphur content are being lost in the shadows” Camarta acknowledges that there is some action within the industry to reduce the sulphur, “The biggest thing right now is getting out the sulphur, and while we do that, there are others working on this too. If we can take the dirty out of dirty oil and create a fuel oil for shipping industry, clean up the oceans as well, there’s a lot of money in that.”

H a g g a i.(*):
means festive, one of the twelve so called minor
prophets. Written 520
He was the first of the three.(Zechariah,
and Malachi, who was about one hundred years later, being the other two).whose
ministry belonged to the period of Jewish history which began after the
return from captivity in Babylon. Scarcely anything is known of his personal
history. He may have been one of the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.
He began his ministry about sixteen years after the Return.
The object of the prophet
was generally to urge the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the
temple. The work of rebuilding the temple had been put a stop to through
the intrigues of the Samaritans. After having been suspended for fifteen
years, the work was resumed through the efforts of Haggai and Zechariah.(Ezra
6:14), who by their exhortations
roused the people from their lethargy and induced them to take advantage
of the favorable opportunity that had arisen in a change in the policy
of the Persian government..(see
an encyclopedia for Darius)
Haggai's prophecies have
thus been characterized: "There is a ponderous
and simple dignity in the emphatic reiteration addressed alike to every
class of the community, prince, priest and people 'Be strong, be strong,
2:4. 'Cleave, stick fast, to the work you have to do;' or again, 'Consider
your ways, consider, consider, consider':.Haggai
1:5,7; 2:15,18. It is the
Hebrew phrase for the endeavor,
of the gifted seers.(Isaiah
all times, to compel
their hearers to turn the inside of their hearts outwards to their own
view, to take the mask from off their consciences, to 'see life steadily
and to see it wholly.'" ...Stanley's
Z e c h a r i
means Jehovah is renowned
or remembered. Written B.C.E.
520. A prophet of Judah,
the eleventh of the twelve minor prophets. Like Ezekiel,
he was of priestly extraction. His prophetical career began in the second
year of Darius.(B.C.E.
520), about sixteen years after the
return of the first company from exile. He was contemporary with Haggai:.Ezra
His book consists of two
distinct parts, 1) chapters 1 to 8, inclusive and chapter 2:9 to the end.
It begins with a preface chapter 1:1-6,
which recalls the nation's past history, for the purpose of presenting
a solemn warning to the present generation. Then follows a series of eight
visions succeeding one another in one night, which may be regarded as a
symbolical history of Israel, intended to furnish consolation to the returned
exiles and stir up hope in their minds.
The symbolical action, the
crowning of Joshua describes how the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom
of the Creator's Christ.
Chapters 7 and 8, delivered
two years later, are an answer to the question whether the days of mourning
for the destruction of the city should be any longer kept and an encouraging
address to the people, assuring them of God's presence and blessing.
The second part of the book,
chapters 9-14, bears no date; consists of two burdens.
M a l a c h i.(*):
means messenger or angel, the last of the minor
prophets and the writer of the last book of the Old
4:4-6. Written B.C.E.
Nothing is known of him beyond
what is contained in his book of prophecies. Some have supposed that the
name is simply a title descriptive of his character
as a messenger of Yah
He was contemporary with
The contents of the book
are comprised in four chapters. In the
Hebrew text the third and fourth chapters form but one. The whole consists
of three sections, preceded
by an introduction.(Malachi
1:1-5), in which the prophet reminds
Israel of Creator's love to them.
The first section contains
a stern rebuke addressed to the priests who had despised the name of their
Creator and been leaders in a departure from his worship and from the covenant
and for their partiality in administering the law.
Later the people are rebuked
for their intermarriages with idolatrous heathen. And later yet Malachi
addresses the people as a whole and warns them of the reaping of what they
have sown, preceded by the advent.(means
the coming or arrival).of

Right after our Birdathon, I zoomed right off to Long Point, near Port Rowan, to learn about radio tracking birds. Unfortunately, we didn't catch too many birds that were able to be tagged, so I was excited to do a little bit of banding while I was there too! Just some of the birds I was able to get my hands on included Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Blue-winged Warbler (that I'm really sad I didn't get a photo of!), Blue Jays, and others that I took some photos of below:
|A beautiful Ovenbird|
|A favourite of mine...the Magnolia Warbler|
|This fantastic Blue Jay! We placed him in a kid's hand who was so entertained by it just laying there on it's back!|
It just so happened that while I was visiting there was an alert for a rare bird, a White-faced Ibis! My labmate and I went for a little jaunt to find these guys and it was surprisingly easier than I imagined! They were along the side of a pond in a farm field, of course at the furthest point possible! A nice couple stopped by to also look at them and allowed me to take a closer look through their scope.
The main point of heading to Long Point was to learn how to apply radio tags and how to use radio trackers and tower to track a bird's movements. I worked with a few members of Bird Studies Canada and Environment Canada to learn the protocols and how to use the variety of technology that is available. It was so cool to be able to walk through a forest and pin-point where a bird was!
Since that visit to Long Point we have set up a small side-project focused on telemetry! We have placed two radio tracking towers at our lakeshore locations. The landowners have been fantastic in letting us set these things up...so thank you!
We also have a few handheld radio trackers that we are using. Stations have been set up around the area I have deployed tags on the birds and we hope to see where they are foraging and perhaps even how they are migrating from the area (eg. where they roost, timing of fall migration, and where they go in the early stages of migration). Unfortunately our tags only last about a month, so fingers crossed they last long enough to get all of this!

So, I had to add a little support to the back of each turkey.

Store on the counter. Move any uneaten apples to the refrigerator after seven days. In the fridge or out, don’t store near most other uncovered fruits or vegetables — the ethylene gases produced by apples can ruin them (making carrots bitter, for example). The exception: if you want to ripen plums, pears and other fruits quickly, put an apple nearby for a day or so.
Store upright in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with either an inch of water or with a damp towel wrapped around the base, just like you would have flowers in a vase. They’ll last three to four days that way.
Ripen on the counter. Can be stored in the refrigerator for three to four days once ripe. A clever trick: ripen a hard avocado by sticking it in a paper bag with a banana.
Unwashed and in their original container. Blueberries and strawberries should keep for five to seven days; more fragile raspberries and blackberries up to two days.
Keep in the front of the refrigerator, where it’s less apt to freeze.

Another sporting event, another cascade of boos hurled at President Donald Trump. Though booing of politicians is not that unusual, it sure seems like Trump is making booing him at sporting events America’s newest pastime. And the boos, perhaps on their own unremarkable, signify a growing swath of the American population may be unhappy with the President’s job performance.
The latest example took place Saturday night when Trump attend the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) at Madison Square Garden. Apparently, the “fighting” in the nation’s capital wasn’t enough for Trump so he needed to spend his weekend watching more. When Trump entered the famous sporting arena, according to CNN, he was “met with loud, sustained boos,” along with some cheers. Of note, according to ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani, Trump was not shown on the big screen when he entered, begging the question – was this potentially done by design to avoid more boos?
Still, Saturday night’s UFC response was far better than the reaction Trump received last Sunday night when he attended Game 5 of the World Series in Washington, DC. There, when Trump was shown on the stadium’s large screen, the crowd began booing him loudly – to the point it reached an estimated nearly 100 decibels. To put that in context, the CDC notes that sustained exposure to that level of sound for 15 minutes or more can cause hearing loss after routine or repeated exposure. The boisterous booing was then followed up by chants of “Lock him up.”
Not surprisingly, both events trended on Trump’s favorite social media platform, Twitter. After the World Series game, #TrumpBooed dominated, while on Sunday morning, #TrumpBooedagain was a leading hashtag.
But it was likely Saturday’s boos at the UFC fight that stung Trump more. And here’s why.
The UFC fights are run by outspoken Trump supporter Dana White, who was an official speaker at the 2016 Republican National Convention. There he boldly declared, “I stand with Donald Trump.” Add to that, the UFC audience comprises a group of people who more likely comprise Trump’s base. As ESPN publication “Undefeated” explains, the fan base is predominately white and, as Bleacher reports, also largely male – and Trump won 62% of white males in the 2016 election.
Perhaps it’s the concern that Trump was being rejected by an audience he should do well with, and at an event organized by a well-known Trump backer, that so concerned Trump, along with his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, that they took to Twitter to push back on the news stories that Trump was booed.
First, there was Eric who straight up tried to gaslight people with his tweet Saturday night, “At #UFC244 - chanting “Donald Trump, Donald Trump… USA USA.” The younger Trump only included a still image – and not an audio clip in his tweet, which could have supported his assertion. And it may be for good reason. Thus far, it appears there’s simply no reporting or viral clips to support his claim.
In any event, Trump retweeted Eric’s apparently fact-free claim. Gaslighting appears to be a Trump family tradition.
Then there was Donald Jr. who was apparently so upset by the booing reports that he resorted to cursing on Twitter, writing, “Despite the bullshit from blue checkmark Twitter, when we walked into the arena it was overwhelmingly positive…” “Blue checkmark” are accounts where the identity of the user is verified by Twitter – including his own – but some on the right have claimed that these checkmarks are liberals, despite a lack of reporting to support this.
In fact, Donald Jr. was so desperate to share proof that the crowd “overwhelmingly” cheered his father, the best he could do was include a link to an article from conservative tabloid The New York Post. But even the headline of that article was mixed at best, reading, “More cheers than boos greet President Trump at UFC 244 at MSG.” And the body of the article was worse, noting that while Trump did get cheers, he also did receive “plenty of ‘boos’ and the occasional raised middle finger as well.” Again, Trump retweeted this tweet in an effort to convince his followers he received an “overwhelmingly positive” response.
And, on Sunday morning, Trump finally commented himself – tweeting, “Walking into Madison Square Garden last night…for the big @UFC fight Championship fight was a little bit like walking into a Trump Rally. Plenty of MAGA…Great energy.” Funny, I don’t recall Trump rallies where Trump was loudly booed by large swaths of the audience.

Trump getting booed at events that aren’t Trump rallies is frankly not that surprising. After all, a Washington Post poll released Thursday found Trump’s approval rating at 38%, while 58% of Americans disapprove of the job he’s doing as President. Worse, when voters were asked if they strongly approve or disapprove of Trump, only 30% gave Trump a strong thumbs up, while 48% responded they strongly disapprove of his presidency. And those figures could even include a few white men, who have traditionally been considered Trump supporters and UFC fans.
Personally, I think Trump has earned every boo he gets. From his racist remarks to his cruelty toward immigrants, he has failed the US and its citizens. And given polls showing nearly 60% of Americans disapprove of the job Trump is doing, he should brace himself to hear a lot more boos between now and when he finally vacates the White House.


Everyone with a boat lives through it – that moment when some stupid little thing goes wrong and you need something simple to solve it. Maybe you dropped a screw in a crevice under the engine. Maybe you are looking for a leak in a dark cabinet. Or maybe you just can’t see where that hose is going or if it’s attached right. These things happen all the time. And unlike a home, the spaces you work in are small, stuffy, and sometimes kind of smelly. You realize what just happened and just want to scream.
For these times, you need to be sure you have all five Boat Sanity Tools – inexpensive things that you think you’ll never need until you do. What’s best is that all five will only set you back about $50.
Boat Sanity Tool #1 – Little Yellow Flashlight
Sure, you have a flashlight. But you need another. Why? Because you know when you need it most the one you have now just won’t work. These cheap little waterproof Dorcy flashlights with LED lights are compact, rugged, and reliable.
Boat Sanity Tool #2 – Extendo Mirror
There comes that time when something really important is out of sight. Maybe it’s a hose clamp or valve or your car keys that slide under something. These little extendo mirror things solve the problem in a minute, saving you from jamming your hand somewhere where it doesn’t belong.
Boat Sanity Tool #3 – Extendo Magnet
Once you find something using the Extendo Mirror (see Boating Sannity Tool #2), you probably need an Extendo Magnet to get it. It turns a nightmarish hour of fussing to one minute of “look at me, I screwed up but I recovered because I’m smart enough to have an Extendo Magnet.”
Boat Sannity Tool #4 – 90 Degree Pliers
They look funny and they don’t fit nicey in your tool box, but they will save you at some point. Nigel Calder was so enamoured of the idea of having some bent pliers that he took a normal pair of pliers and took a torch to them to bend them – only to find out you can just buy them. Can’t turn a hose clamp nut because it’s around the corner? Done.
Boat Sannity Tool #5 – Camping Headlamp
Yes, you can look a little silly with one of these on, but if you’re clumsy like most boaters, you will cherish it when the time calls for it. Maybe it’s midnight and you have to look in your chain locker. Or you don’t want to wake anyone up for one last glass of wine. Or you can’t quite see to the back of the engine compartment while you stuff your body alongside of it. Easy as you please.

S118 Applications: Admin Fee Non Payment of Accounts
As per previous communication and as conveyed to attendees at the feedback / interaction sessions, the sundry account for the billing of the Admin Fee must be paid timeously otherwise conveyancing firms will be suspended from submitting rates clearance applications. The validation for the payment of the admin fee will now be strictly implemented and adhered.
Therefore, there might be a number of firms not being able to transact with the City. Feedback received indicated that there are firms in arrears in excess of 90 days. The process below must be followed should firms not have received nor queried the non-receipt of their admin fee accounts:
The staff dealing with the escalated mail address will then extract the latest account and mail it to the conveyancer.
This will only be a once off process to assist attorneys with receiving their invoice as well as updating the City’s records. Thereafter, the Debt Management process will be implemented failing no cooperation from attorneys.
Conveyancers wishing to change the postal address of the account they can do so by:
S118 Applications — Seller and/or Proposed Sellers details differ from Deeds Office and City of Cape Town Records
The discussions and as conveyed at the feedback sessions held recently, further investigations will be done to determine other reasons or causes impacting negatively on the processing of S118 applications.
One of the problems identified is that conveyancers are submitting applications where the seller and or proposed seller’s details differ from the City of Cape Town and Deeds Office records, e.g. Estate late Soap instead of Soap.
As agreed to and practise in the past for many years, the seller and for proposed sellers details must be the same as on the Deeds search and ultimately that of the City of Cape Town records. It is the responsibility of the conveyancer to submit supporting documents to the Deeds Office to support the lodgement of a transfer in this case, an Estate Late Soap.
The validations in the enhanced system rejects these applications and submits the applications into a Pending Status which lead to delays as the administrative process to deal with these matters are impacting negatively on the processing of S118 applications, speedily and timeously in some cases.
A request that applications be submitted as per the Deed search only to avoid unnecessary delays as these applications are parked to attend to successful applications first.
This can and will lead to applications being rejected.
I have made our Bookkeeping Department aware of the payment policy. They have pointed out that our account from Council arrives extremely late every month.

A little less than one year ago, Walmart workers across the nation walked off the job on “Black Friday” to spotlight Walmart’s low wages and poor working conditions. Today those same conditions prompted 80 workers at a Miami Walmart to hit the picket line.
Since November there have been dozens of actions and strikes by Walmart workers around the country. Paul Toussaint, a Miami area OUR Walmart member, said:
Walmart workers nationwide have been standing up and speaking out for better jobs, better wages and an end to Walmart’s illegal retaliation against workers who speak out. And these courageous strikers are in solidarity with Walmart associates across the country who have been calling for change, striking against retaliation and even been arrested in nonviolent protest.
Low wages force many Walmart workers to rely on public assistance, from food stamps to health care, and the Miami workers and others who are demanding change at Walmart are calling on Walmart to pay a living wage of $25,000 a year.
Show your support for Walmart workers by signing a petition calling on Walmart to respect workers’ rights and pay a living wage. Find out more at Our Walmart and at Making Change at Walmart.

Jacob Blake fought with police officers. He shrugged off getting tased. He ignored instructions to hold still. Then he reached into his car, where the police couldn’t tell if there was a weapon. The police told him to stop. But he reached in the car anyway.
But none of that matters. Celebrities, athletes, and politicians leave that part out and describe Jacob Blake as an innocent man who was climbing into his car when the police attacked him for no reason.
So is it any surprise that in Compton California, a man walked up to a squad car and shot two deputies? One was a 31-year-old mother. She was shot through the jaw. Listen to the recording of her calling dispatch to report the shooting. She has a hard time talking because of the blood.
After the officers were rushed to the hospital, protesters gathered to cheer for the officer’s deaths.
Any surprise here? After months of vilifying police? Of allowing rioters to pelt police with rocks? Of allowing rioters to burn police precincts to the ground?
Want real heroes? Look at the police.

New Delhi: With the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government taking on the Centre’s move to live televise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on September 11, marking the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda’s speech at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday condemned such “unacceptable” behaviour.
While talking to ANI, BJP national spokesperson Nalin Kohli said, “It’s shocking and unfortunate that here is the Chief minister in a democracy that’s Mamta Banerjee of West Bengal, who doesn’t want the message of the Prime Minister of our India to the students and wants to block it.”
“One expects a higher standard from a democratically elected Chief Minister in the federal structure in which the Prime Minister of India is the highest position, democratically elected highest position of the country. This kind of behaivour is unacceptable from the elected Chief Minister of the state,” he added.
Resonating similar sentiments, BJP leader Sudesh Verma also criticized Mamta for being “foolish” to oppose a move that is aimed at creating patriotic fervor in the country on the 125th anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
“It is foolishness to oppose such a move because the UGC directive is in sync with overall mode in the country to create patriotic fervor. The occasion is Vivekananda’s anniversary. Nobody should have problem with that as UGC gives directives on and off and state government should not be seen as opposing it for the sake of opposing. We hope that good sense would prevail with Mamta ji,” Verma stated.
Earlier, the WB government had directed all the universities and colleges under its jurisdiction to ignore the directive of the University Grants Comission (UGC) to arrange live telecast of PM Modi’s speech on September 11.

Reuters reports: Egypt’s ruling Muslim Brotherhood blamed Shi’ites for creating religious strife throughout Islam’s history, as the movement joined a call by Sunni clerics for jihad against the Syrian government and its Shi’ite allies.
In a striking display of the religious enmity sweeping the region since Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah committed its forces behind Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a Brotherhood spokesman in Cairo told Reuters on Friday: “Throughout history, Sunnis have never been involved in starting a sectarian war.”
Until recently, Egypt’s new Islamist president, the Brotherhood’s Mohamed Mursi, was promoting rapprochement with Iran, the bastion of Shi’ite political power and in February he hosted the first visit by an Iranian president in over 30 years.
But spokesman Ahmed Aref said Hezbollah had launched a new “sectarian war” last month by joining Tehran’s other key ally Assad in a fight that pits mainly Sunni rebels against a Syrian elite drawn from Assad’s Alawite minority, a Shi’ite offshoot.
For that reason, Aref said, the Brotherhood, which emerged from oppression after the fall of military rule two years ago to run by far the most populous Arab state, had joined a call made on Thursday by leading Sunni clerics for holy war in Syria.
