Viewers got a little more than they had bargained for at the trailer launch of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.
The event started off with Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan revealing the trailer of their upcoming film. The trailer has Varun and Alia sharing great on-screen chemistry. The duo probably wanted to recreate this at the live event and that's where they got it wrong.
Varun Dhawan, caught up in the moment or his character from the film, decided to pick Alia Bhatt up in his arms; Unfortunately, for Alia, the bottom of her ensemble was sheer giving those present an eyeful of her innerwear.
Alia Bhatt reportedly didn't realize anything was amiss up until the photos from the event started doing the rounds. She is quite miffed with co-star Varun Dhawan and has told him to curb his enthusiasm.
However, we must admit that the couple looks fantastic together. Let's hope the film fares better than Alia's stylist and Varun's spontaneity.
Who do you think is the better couple - Alia and Varun or Alia and Arjun? Tell us in the comments below.

Griff Lynch, Executive Director for Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) recently announced at the 50th annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference the strategic plan that will result in a 10 million twenty-foot equivalent container capacity for Georgia Port’s Garden City Terminal with the capacity also for more than 1 million machinery and automotive parts and 1 million rail lifts.
Mr. Lynch said, “Georgia is home to both the single largest container and roll-on/roll-off facilities in North America. Our goal is to maximize capacity, create jobs and reduce the impact on our local communities.”
The plan called GPA 2028 outlines the future development of the port, which includes installation 200 yard cranes, 42 ship to shore cranes and new RTG lanes for a significant intermodal expansion. A new inland terminal, GPAs second will soon open in Northwest Georgia and break ground at the Garden City Terminal for their Mega Rail Project.
Jimmy Allgood, Board Chairman for the Georgia Ports Authority stated, “We have come to an exciting turning point,” he further added, “Georgia’s business-friendly environment, led by Gov. Nathan Deal, coupled with statewide infrastructure investments, has set the stage for new business, new jobs and additional trade through the ports of Savannah and Brunswick.”
Trade through Georgia’s ports has grown from 2.8 million TEUs in 2010 to over 4 million TEUs in 2017, all this has been achieved while Governor Nathan Deal has been in office. Not only has TEU capacity been increased but also RoRo cargo which has seen a rise from 411,000 units to 640,000 per year with total cargo crossing all docks rising from 25 million tons to 35 million tons over the same seven-year period.
Dredging of Savannahs outer harbor is expected to be completed in March, this will represent 50% completion of the expansion project. As for the inner harbors, their projected completion date is 2021 after which Neo-Panamax vessels will be able to transport more cargo and with a more flexible schedule.
Mr. Lynch said, “With the project moving forward, the fiscal argument for the Savannah Harbor deepening grows stronger and stronger as more customers choose Georgia as a gateway to serve the Southeast, the ability for these ships to take on heavier export loads will mean greater efficiency and lower costs for American producers.”
The Georgia Ports Authority adheres to three principles for success, space, infrastructure and connectivity. The GPA has opened five areas of land at their Savannah International Trade Park to accommodate the additional warehousing. The five areas will allow for up to 5 million m2 for distribution space.

College-Bound Students Can Still Find Silver Lining during COVID Crisis
PARK CITY, Utah, July 24, 2020 — “It’s tough enough to graduate from high school, get torpedoed into adulthood, choose a college, decide on a major and move away from home, all before the ink is dry on the diploma. This year, however, makes those things look like a piece of cake, as COVID-19 continues to dominate the headlines, virtually erasing the traditional celebratory graduation rites of passage for 18-year-olds everywhere as these young people are forced to adjust to social distancing, online coursework and that incessant drip-drip-drip of uncertainty. But there is a silver lining, if you know where to look for it.” So says William Keator, former higher education program director for a foundation supporting colleges and universities throughout the U.S., and author of a new book entitled When Eagles Launch: Find Your Best College and Make It a Foundational Life Experience. www.WhenEaglesLaunch.com; Available on Amazon.
The oft-used expression “iron sharpens iron” has never been more on target than it is today, Keator explains. The adversity students face — nothing less than a global pandemic—should forge the most resilient, gritty, and emotionally-grounded generation of young adults this country has seen in decades.
According to Keator, the high school and college years are critical to adult development, and today’s students are getting a crash course in perspective—the most important life skill anyone can develop. Perspective is a gateway to happiness, resilience, grit, emotional control, and almost every positive human attribute. With proper guidance, this generation of students will launch into early adulthood with the largest dose of perspective we have seen in decades.
“While college-bound students have faced unhealthy pressure from our cultural obsession with big-name colleges and universities, misguided conventional wisdom, spiraling costs, and crippling student debt, traditional college guidebooks have taken a relatively narrow approach to helping students,” Keator says. “After reaching a point where the recent college admissions scandal was unfortunate but predictable, it is clear that everyone needs to think a little differently about colleges, decisions, and life.”
That’s why When Eagles Launch takes a unique approach as it dives deeply into what matters the most: a healthy, holistic way for students to find their best college—a place where they can excel— while also preparing for a foundational life experience in their college years. Students can build confidence, purpose, and a strong sense of self as they learn to 1) find the best colleges to meet their needs —personal, professional and financial; 2) avoid needless stress; and 3) improve the mental habits and transferable skills they will need in college and beyond. The author’s words of wisdom on college life are sprinkled throughout this invaluable book which builds a step-by-step approach to finding the right college for the right reasons, with questionnaires and worksheets that help provide context and understanding to what can be an excruciating and confusing time in a student’s life.
In short, When Eagles Launch isn’t a book you just read, it’s a book you do.
William Keator is the former Vice President for Programs at the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, where he spent 17 years directing the foundations’ Higher Education and Secondary Education programs which awarded nearly 500 grants totaling over $95 million. Previously, Keator was the first program officer for NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation. A former teacher and coach, Keator holds a master’s degree from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education.

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Recreation District board of directors is very excited for the upcoming Doubleday Sports Complex. Even though the complex is a separate entity from the SRD, Doubleday will provide plenty of added field space in Sheridan to a number of organizations, including the recreation district.
Because of that, the SRD board approved a $10,000 donation to Doubleday at Wednesday’s board meeting.
Each organization involved in the creation of the Doubleday complex — the SRD, Sheridan College, Sheridan Youth Baseball, Sheridan Storm Soccer and Sheridan Softball Association, among others — was asked to donate around $10,000 to the project.
That money is set to be used during the planning stages, including the hiring of a project manager. The ball is already rolling on the process.
“The money is being spent now,” SRD executive director Richard Wright said at the board meeting.
SRD board chairman Don Julian has been heavily involved in the process. He also sits on the board for the Doubleday complex, and he and Richard Wright have been working with the Sheridan Community Land Trust and the North Main Interchange project to take full advantage of the area.
Julian noted that the interchange workers needed a place to move dirt during the project — the Doubleday complex land is close to the new interchange. The hope is to also involve SCLT to connect the pathways to the new complex.
In other news:
• It was a fairly good year for Kendrick Pool. The pool was only closed for eight days this summer, and despite a $35,000 loss — somewhat due to ongoing renovations — the Kendrick Park ice cream stand covered the deficit. The SRD scooped 7,000 gallons of ice cream in three and a half months, which helped the pool break even.
“Pools are money pits,” SRD business manager Rich Bridger said before clarifying that a push in budget was a positive for the district. Bridger also plans on increasing the fees at the pool slightly next summer, part of the board’s overall plan to gradually increase the fees over time.
• The SRD has a number of events coming up. The Morning Mayhem Halloween 6K race will take place on Oct. 29 at 9 a.m. at the SRD office. The race is $4 for kids 18 and under, $6 for adults, $8 for a pair and $10 for a family. There is also a 1-mile kids race and a 1-mile Halloween walk. Registration for the event starts at 8:30 a.m., and participants are encouraged to wear costumes as prizes will be awarded.
• Signups for the Halloween Hoopfest are open for any adult looking to compete in a 5-on-5 basketball tournament. The tournament will run Oct. 28-29 at the junior high and high schools. The cost to play is $150 per team. Teams can also sign up for the SRD’s men’s basketball league, which begins Nov. 2. The cost is $520 per team, and registration is open until Oct. 31.

Langley Township residents are invited to honour Earth Day April 22 by helping clean their part of the planet.
The fifth annual Clean Up Langley Day is Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“Clean Up Langley Day is a great opportunity to beautify our community, recognize our volunteers, and remind offenders that we will not tolerate litter or illegal dumping in our Township,” said solid waste coordinator Tanya Drouillard.
Participants can choose to work in a specific neighbourhood or park, and all necessary supplies, including gloves, safety vests, garbage pickers, and garbage bags, will be provided.
People are asked to register at tol.ca/adopt, email email@example.com, or phone 604-532-7300 so they can get the supplies they need for Saturday’s event.
“We are always inspired by the residents who volunteer their free time to help keep our Township beautiful and healthy,” she said. “Combatting litter and illegal dumping is a community effort and year after year hundreds of residents have stepped up to the task with enthusiasm.”
Last year, 200 volunteers in 15 groups collected 2,000 kilograms of waste from local streets, trails, and waterways – the highest participation and tonnage of waste collected so far.
McBurney Plaza will be the staging area for Langley City’s Pitch-In Day clean up on April 23.
The public is invited to take part in the spring cleaning exercise that runs 9 a.m. to noon.
Drop in the barrel
Langley City is also helping residents be more eco-friendly by holding a rain barrel sale May 9.
Residents who want to get a rain barrel must sign up by April 24 through the website www.enviroworld.ca/langley.
Collecting rainwater reduces the amount of treated water that is used in yards and gardens. Rainwater improves the soils pH balance as well.
The 55-gallon barrels cost $55, including taxes, and include installation instructions, spigots, screws, an overflow hoses to link to other barrels, a clamp and childproof lids.
The people who took part in the Upcycling Design Challenge and creatively used waste to make art and useful objects are in the running for $1,300 in prizes.
The public can see the creations for the fourth annual Upcyling Design Challenge daily until May 1 at Willowbrook Shopping Centre and can vote on the People’s Choice winner.
Everyone who votes will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $100 Willowbrook Gift Card, and the artist with the most votes will be honoured during an awards reception, along with winners in several other categories. Winners are announced April 28. The People’s Choice winner gets a $500 gift card. Prizes for the other categories range from $150 for youth to $300 for best in show.
The annual competition is a collaboration between Langley Township and the Langley Arts Council with Willowbrook providing space for the displays.
Learn more at tol.ca/upcycling.
Old computer equipment, cords for lord knows what devices, broken and outdated electronics, and more can be taken to the E-Waste Challenge April 23 at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.
Willowbrook has partnered with Maple Leaf Disposal Ltd. and will host a one-day Drive-Up & Drop-Off e-waste event April 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Electronic waste contain precious metals, glass, plastics and other valuable materials, and reusing them reduces the need to mine or fabricate raw materials. Rather than just disposing of them, we can reuse and recover this valuable material,” said Bonney Rempel, Bentall’s regional director of Marketing Retail Services West.
People are asked to wipe confidential information before dropping off electronics. Go to the southeast corner of the mall, between Sears and the Bay.
Everyone who drops off e-waste is entered into a draw for a TV valued at $1,000.

New York brand advocacy startup Crowdtap picks up $5M in Series B funding
Social influence marketing startup Crowdtap has closed $5 million in its second financing, according to Business 2 Community.
Foundry Group was the lead investor in the Series B round. Tribeca Venture Partners, The Mustang Group, and Alta Communications also participated in the funding, TechCrunch detailed.
The New York-based startup had previously raised $7 million in its 2011 Series A round. For Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brandon Evans, his company did not need to raise a bigger amount for the second round because Crowdtap was already profitable by 2013, the report explained.
Crowdtap inspires brands to create quality promotional content by connecting them with their target consumers. The startup identifies influential fans and encourages them to promote brands on their blogs and social network accounts like Facebook and Twitter to introduce new products and services to the public. The company currently employs 55 workers. Its clients include Sony, Kraft, Nestle, and P&G, Business 2 Community reported.

The Amistad Case This essay is about the Amistad case from 1942. All started in Sierra Leone were African slave traders captures illegally many Africans, including Joseph Cinque, for selling them to Portuguese slave traders. Most of the Africans that were captured were send in the slave ship “Tecora”. This slaves were taken to Havana, Cuba where they were sold to José Ruiz and Pedro Montez and went in the ship called “Amistad”. One of the day Cinque led a revolt, killing the captain and the cook of the ship, they prisoned Ruiz and Montez for them to take them over again to Africa but instead they went opposite direction and landed in the United Sates where they went to jail and to a trial with the charges of murdering.
The last leg was where the ships unloaded the slaves. They were traded for other raw goods and commodities then the ship headed back to Europe. The Middle Passage was the beginning of the 200 year war which Professor Beckles referred to. This is because resistance started at the point of capture in West Africa and it continued to develop along the Middle Passage. The enslaved African was persistent in their fight for freedom as they attempted to return to Africa but when they realized their efforts were in vain some of them committed suicide by jumping over board and starving themselves whilst other attacked the
An eighteenth-century “African drum” from Virginia is held in the British Museum. This goblet-shaped single-headed drum is only known from the Guinea Coast. This poses a question whether these West African instruments arrived in the hands of the African slaves or in the hands of their captors. Or did these people make the instruments themselves using only local materials. However these instruments came into existence they became the early instruments of the blues, as did the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, mouth harmonica and
However, social reform doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, especially dealing with the stubborn, bigot infested Southern states. This enlightenment would go on for decades, court case after court case,protest after protest. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jo Ann Robinson, Harry Ray, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and many more brave Americans will follow Mr. Scott and stand for the rights of themselves and others nationwide. Dred Scott’s case wasn’t forgotten, but acted as gas on the fire for racism and disfavor against
They can own a people as their property and black people cannot withstand. In the beginning of the movie, a slave try to revolt but gets kill by a white people. If this situation is reverse, white people gets kill by a black people, the black people may goes to jail or gets revenge by the victim’s family. That is because white people have more power and black people is below them so they are not allow do anything to harm them. In the end of the movie, Northup is restored to freedom and sued Epps and the slave traders.
Their human rights were destroyed from the first step of Atlantic Slave trade. According to “Thoughts ad Sentiments on the Evil and Wicked Traffic of the Slavery add Commerce of the Human Species,” written by Ottobah, A native of Africa, mentions “I was first kidnapped and betrayed by some of my own complexion” which shows African slaves were not going for their own will and destroyed human rights. Later in 16th century, most of African countries that were enforced to export slaves and kingdoms established special law in order to export more slaves. Law states that if one can’t sell slave, that guy is sold as slaves. Therefore, African people betrayed others, which led huge chaos and huge amount of African were (change to being) sold as slaves, which lead to complete chaos (and that resulted in complete chaos).
Since the African traders needed more slaves, they decided to create violence by going into small parts of the West Coast of Africa and take whatever people they needed for their slave trade. Many families were separated since they were being sent to different parts of the world. At the beginning the slaves were sold for what was called two bills. The slaves were also used in what was called barter trade, which meant that there were sold more than one time before reaching their destination. One of the first trips which happened around 1650 consisted of about 115 male slaves, 115 females and other products that were being transported for trade as well.
Slavery, racism, discrimination and segregation is what our world was built upon. The Caucasian men took the African American men, women, children, and infants from their homelands to use them as their slaves. Their slave owners brought them to the United States to teach them how to be all forms of slaves for their needs. If these slaves where not doing as they were told or caught stealing from their owners, they were beaten with a whip. Slavery was abolished in the year of 1865 when it became a part of the 13th amendment .
During this time, a group was formed of former Confederate soldiers that met in secret. This group was called the Ku Klux Klan, and they were determined to place the whites above the blacks. The most targeted by the Ku Klux were the black businessmen and landowners who were unsuccessful. Having many prominent people in the Ku Klux Klan, this would give them even more power. More than 1,300 freedmen, in 1868, were hung without a fair trial.

In the October issue of N-Photo (issue 129) apprentice pro Benedict Brain used the following analogy: “If you only go to the gym once a month, you’re not going to build up muscle, and it’s the same thing with photography. It seems like the perfect statement to talk about as we approach the start of the New Year.
New Years Resolutions are a great excuse to get into your photography routine. But as we all know, January is known for its good intentions that quickly fall apart. And if my past bodybuilding aspirations are justified, I’m willing to bet most people threw in the towel before the end of February. So this month, I thought about taking the Ben gym analogy a step further in an attempt to curb smoking cessation.
• Read more: The best camera for beginners
There’s no getting around the problem, improving a skill takes practice; but you could also say that there is such a thing as too much practice (or at least to begin with). The problem with January’s health workouts is the temptation to dive in from day one and train like a long-term gym enthusiast or professional athlete. If you switch from a relatively sedentary lifestyle to long, high-impact gym sessions seven days a week, you’re probably going to find it overwhelming and, at worst, you could exhaust yourself completely.
This school of thought can be applied to almost any hobby, and photography is certainly no different. If you commit to photographing a sunrise or sunset every day, at some point you are going to tire yourself out. And when that happens, you’re going to put your camera down… and when that happens, you might not get it back for six months…
The secret to taking regular photos is to come up with a workable plan of action. It doesn’t matter if you want to take one photo per week or embark on a 365 year-long project, as long as you ramp up your production and find a way to fit it into your schedule, you’ll have every chance of doing it. to succeed.
You can always rely on your New Years resolution. If you love photography more than ever, increase the frequency with which you shoot or try shooting more difficult subjects.
Whatever fun photo challenges await you in 2022, I wish you the best of luck. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. I think it’s time I dusted off those dumbbells …

John’s birthday was last week and he chose an apple tourte for his dessert. He found the recipe in Baking: From My Home to Yours (a book I highly recommend) and it was crazy good. I like making tarts, but making tarts on a weekday alone in the house with two small children is…um, how shall I put this, a challenge?
The crust is not a typical pie crust, its an almond sugar cookie crust. Mmhmm, you read that right. A pie made with a cookie crust. And the filling was like applesauce. The comforting, warming, homemade, delicious-smelling applesauce. And then, while it was still a touch warm, we piled Julie’s vanilla ice cream on top. (BTW, if you’ve never tried it, Julie’s Strawberry & Cream sorbet is incredible.)
It was really good for breakfast too.
Today I made Rosemary Flatbread from Whole Grains Baking (another book I love – all the recipes are full of whole grains but still taste wonderful). Seeing the dough crisp up and bubble was so satisfying. This is the best photo I had on our cold, dark day. It doesn’t do it justice.
The girls loved dipping theirs in hummus this afternoon and I think I’m about to go eat some more with a glass of wine. Excuse me, won’t you?

Fewer Health Breaches, But Same CulpritLoss, Theft of Unencrypted Devices Still a Problem
Midway through 2013, an apparent decline in major healthcare data breaches, compared with last year, continues. Lost or stolen unencrypted devices and media continue to account for about half of all breaches, according to the official federal tally. And some organizations, including Stanford Medicine, have struggled with multiple incidents.
As of June 25, the Department of Health and Human Services "wall of shame" lists 619 breaches dating back to September 2009 affecting a total of about 22.2 million individuals. About 55 percent of those breaches have involved lost or stolen unencrypted computing devices and media of all types, including mobile. The HHS tally tracks breaches affecting 500 or more individuals since the HIPAA breach notification rule went into effect.
The list includes 42 breaches that have occurred this year, affecting a total of about 175,000 patients. By comparison, there were about 150 incidents in 2012 affecting a total of 2.6 million patients and about 160 breaches in 2011 affecting 11 million.
This year, Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's hospital has had two incidents - one in January and one in May - involving stolen unencrypted laptops. Those two breaches affected a total of about 70,000 individuals. Stanford University's healthcare units, known collectively as Stanford Medicine, have had five major breaches since 2010 (see: Fifth Stanford Breach Leads Roundup).
"It's been very frustrating," says Bill Lazarus, Lucile Packard information security officer, about the most recent breaches. "We do have an aggressive implementation under way to prevent vulnerabilities." That includes an array of administrative and technical controls, many which have been fully implemented, he explains.
The stepped-up efforts at the children's hospital, as well as at Stanford Medicine units, include mandatory encryption of mobile and fixed devices, including biomedical systems; a new mobile device management system; and a new security information event management, or SIEM, system.
The unencrypted laptop stolen in May, which contained information on 13,000 patients, was an older computer that was "defective and broken and set for decommission," Lazarus says. It had been slated for replacement and was scheduled for collection when it was stolen, he adds.
In addition to Stanford-issued mobile devices, all personally owned mobile devices used by Stanford Medicine employees also are required to be encrypted. Plus, Stanford Medicine has implemented a new mobile device management system from Airwatch to monitor whether encryption is implemented and to enable remote wipe capabilities on mobile devices.
The MDM system primarily is used to monitor Apple iOS and Android devices, Lazarus says. While Mac laptops can be supported by the MDM, Windows-based laptops are not, he says. So Stanford is assessing the addition of an "endpoint security" solution that will allow tracking of off-network devices and remote wiping of Windows-based laptops, he says.
Stanford Medicine also is rolling out a new SIEM system that will help the organizations monitor and investigate unusual activity of its systems, Lazarus says. This will provide Stanford with improved event correlation enabled through customized rule sets, he explains. For instance, if a failed user login recurrence threshold is exceeded, and is correlated with a specific user access group, an actionable alert is created.
So far, the federal tally of major breaches includes no 2013 incidents affecting 100,000 or more individuals. In 2012, there were six incidents affecting 100,000 or more people - with a total of 1.7 million individuals impacted. In 2011, there were eight mega-incidents, affecting a combined total of about 10 million people.
Federal officials have added 19 incidents to the tally in the past month. Those newly listed incidents, which affected a total of 116,000, included seven breaches that involved lost or stolen unencrypted computing devices or media.
The recent Stanford breaches are not yet on the "wall of shame." Incidents are added to the tally when federal officials confirm the details. The tally does include, however, three earlier Stanford Medicine breaches. Those include a September 2011 breach, in which Stanford Hospital & Clinics reported that a business associate's subcontractor posted information on a website about 20,000 patients treated in a hospital emergency department. Another incident in August 2012, affecting 2,500 patients, involved the theft of an unencrypted computer from a physician's locked office. A third incident at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in January 2010, involving a lost unencrypted computer, affected 532 individuals.
Since 2009, 22 percent of the 619 incidents on the HHS wall of shame have involved business associates. For 2013, so far, that figure stands at almost 30 percent.
Under the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, which has a Sept. 23 compliance deadline, business associates and their subcontractors are directly liable for data breaches.
Stanford Medicine isn't the only major California provider organization to experience multiple breaches.
Sutter Health, which operates 24 hospitals and numerous other facilities in Northern California, earlier this month reported its third major breach since October 2011.
A recent drug raid by police in California resulted in Sutter Health notifying about 4,500 of its patients about a security incident. A notice posted on Sutter's website June 7 says that during the law enforcement investigation, officials discovered information pertaining to patients of several Sutter facilities. That information included patient's names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, genders, addresses, ZIP codes, home phone numbers, marital status, name of employers and work phone numbers. An investigation continues.

KILLEEN, Texas — The sound of music can take you back to a certain place in time and for the Fine Arts students at Killeen High school.
It's also an opportunity to learn about the Black musical legends that came before them.
"When you think of music from black geniuses, you think of the kind of towards of what people want to do now, you hear kids talk about I want to be a rapper. Nobody really gets into the musical aspect of it as far as composing or arranging," says student Amaeri Covington.
From Folk to the Blues, African Americans have created, inspired and fostered different genres of music for generations including classical and contemporary music.
Legendary musical geniuses have been undervalued and ignored throughout time.
Covington shares his gratitude for the chance to learn from musicians that look just like him.
"This is why this needs to be shown because in the past just because they were different nobody wanted to play their music or hear their music. It's wonderful we have an opportunity like this to show their music to the world so we can show hey they can make just as good as music to someone to your right," he adds.
An opportunity that does that happen often in classical music.
"Killeen is one of the most diverse districts in Texas and so I looked around the district and see how we can celebrate this and how can we honor this and I just thought it is really important they hear music from their heritage, to be represented and to be heard and to talk about that because music just transcends so many other things," says Assistant Director of Fine Arts, Garth Gundersen.
Covington hopes to one day become a Band Director and teach other students the music he loves.
But until then, as a first-chair trombone player, his goal is to continue to inspire others and showcase that they too have a future in classical music.
"I always feel comfortable with music, band has always been my home, my family, it has brought a lot of passion. I am honestly really enjoying it; it is an honor to do it," says student Janiely Brito.

The number of roadway crashes in Greater Sudbury has dropped significantly since 2014, a recent report to the operations committee said, with almost 950 fewer collisions in 2018 compared to four years ago.
There were 2,746 collisions on the city's roads in 2014, compared to 1,847 last year, the report said. And the number that resulted in injury or death has also seen a steep decline: 513 four years ago, compared to 262 last year.
The report is part of a policy approved last year that sees city staff collect information on what areas of the city see the most collisions, and which roads offer the best opportunities to reduce the number of accidents. Information is collected on the time of day of the incident, where it occurred and the cause, as well as year-by-year collision trends.
As anyone in the North knows, the most dangerous time of year to drive is winter. In Sudbury, January (a total of 1,367 over five years) and February (1,201) have seen the most crashes, followed by November (1,081) and December (1,046). September sees the fewest (662) followed by August (754) and July (755).
Friday (1,947), Wednesday (1,897) and Thursday (1,876) are the days of the week that see the most collisions, with Sunday (930) recording the fewest. And 9 a.m. (almost 700) and 5 p.m. (more than 900) are the times of day when most accidents take place.
A full 70 per cent of all collisions take place on the busiest (or arterial) roads and 54 per cent occur on roads where the speed limit is 50 km/h, with 27 per cent on roads where the limit is 60 km/h.
Based on the data, the intersections targeted for safety improvements this year and next include:
- Brady Street at Paris Street, where the biggest problem is collisions between cars turning north or south. The city is installing a left turn light for southbound vehicles to try and address the problem.
- Long Lake Road at Paris Street, where drivers are often confused about whether they are in a turning lane or one requiring them to keep going straight. Improved signage is planned this year.
- At a number of intersections on the list — Falconbridge Road at the Kingsway, Lasalle Boulevard at Notre Dame Avenue, and Falconbridge Road at Lasalle — the biggest problem is rear-end collisions caused by distracted driving. A road safety campaign is planned for this year.
- Finally, Paris Street at Van Horne sees several collisions because people are running the yellow-red light. The solution? Red light cameras, which will be installed next year in hopes that drivers who know they are on camera and will be ticketed will be less likely to disobey traffic lights.

Dental Problem : I get Dental checkup done regularly. But soon after drinking Hot Milk to my taste I feel my whole mouth taste gets bad and bad breath starts.
What is it?
Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Most dentists perform tooth whitening. Whitening is not a one time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you want to maintain the brighter color.
What it is used for?
The outer layer of the tooth is called the enamel. The color of natural teeth is created by the reflection and scattering of light off the enamel, combined with the color of the dentin under it. Your genes affect the thickness and smoothness of the enamel. Thinner enamel allows more of the color of the dentin to show through. Having smoother or rougher enamel also affects the reflection of light and therefore the color.
Every day, a thin coating (pellicle) forms on the enamel and picks up stains. Tooth enamel also contains pores that can hold stains. The most common reasons for teeth to get yellow or stained are:
- Using tobacco
- Drinking dark colored liquids such as coffee, cola, tea and red wine
- Not taking good care of your teeth
Aging makes teeth less bright as the enamel gets thinner and the dentin becomes darker. It is also possible to have stains inside the tooth. These are called intrinsic stains. For example, intrinsic stains can be caused by exposure to too much fluoride as a child while teeth are developing. Other causes include tetracycline antibiotics. They can stain a child's teeth if taken by a mother during the second half of pregnancy or by a child who is 8 years old or younger. Teeth are still developing during these years. Trauma can also darken a tooth and tooth whitening is the most effective way to treat on surface (extrinsic) stains.

In today’s growing world parenting is becoming a task no one prepared you for. Modern parenting is no cakewalk, that is why understanding your parenting style and how it affects your child is important. Read more about what effects does your parenting style has on your child.
Let’s say you have a toddler that doesn’t want to eat dinner. An authoritarian parent might respond by demanding that they sit at the table until their plate is clean. An authoritative parent might use this opportunity to discuss their refusal but explain that now is the time to eat. A permissive parent might respond by making a different meal for the child. and neglectful parents just wouldn’t care about it.
There are some basic parenting styles, Authoritarian, Reliable or Authoritative, Pessimistic and Neglectful each style has a very peculiar effect on your kid let’s discuss them in further detail.
Authoritarian Parenting Style:
Let’s say, for example, your child did not understand how you fold clothes, even though you have not taught them before, you expect them to know how you do it because they should have seen you every day. This is what authoritarian parenting looks like. By definition, Authoritarian parenting is a parenting style characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. If you are a parent who follows the authoritarian parenting style, have very high expectations of their children, yet provide very little in the way of feedback and nurturing. This style is more controlling than nurturing. Children become fearful instead of respecting them.
- This type of parent demands more out of children but does not take responsibility to explain the child. They make an attempt to micromanage every step their child takes. They make rules but seldom give explanations for them.
- They have little or sometimes no explanations for the punishments they give. As they believe in complete authority, they expect the kid to behave a certain way because “they said so”. Obedience sometimes blind obedience is what these authoritarian parents expect.
- Other major features of an authoritarian parent include Mistrusting, shaming, and unwillingness to negotiate with the child. They do not encourage being challenged by their kids.
Effects on children:
- Children have low self-esteem and low self-confidence since they have hardly done anything according to their wishes.
- Children act fearful or shy around other people.
- They tend to confirm easily with authority figures outside the home and are at an all-time high risk of developing psychological disorders like anxiety and depressive disorders.
- Children become highly dependent and lose it when they have to act independently.
Reliable or Authoritative Parenting Style:
Reliable or Authoritative parents also have high expectations for achievement and maturity just like the authoritarian ones, but there is a point of difference that separates the two is that reliable parenting is also warm and responsive.
- These parents enforce rules and set boundaries by having open discussions and explanations, they provide guidance and utilize reasoning in order to make their kids understand.
- Their disciplinary methods are not strict or rigid, i.e. they are well reasoned, negotiable, outcome-oriented, and concerned with positive growth-oriented behaviors.
- This style fosters independence and fair reasoning thereby giving some autonomy to children.
Effects on children:
- Children are more self-confident and secure about their own abilities and are more open to learning new things.
- They are independent yet responsible.
- They develop good social and people’s skills.
- They have better emotional intelligence, they learn to control and regulate emotions well.
Pessimistic Parenting Style:
Pessimistic parents set very few boundaries and rarely impose any rules over children. These parents are nurturing and warm but they do not like to say no or to disappoint their children.
- Pessimistic parents seldom impose hard and fast rules or boundaries.
- They are more like friends than parents, as a result of which they do not become authority figures for kids.
- These parents use bribery or other luring techniques like toys, sweets, vacations, etc to get the kids to do what they want without being strict about it.
Effects on children:
- Children of a pessimistic parent become intolerant and aggressive when their needs are not met by the outside world.
- These children struggle with decision-making and since their parents have not made them understand the causes and consequences of things.
- These children struggle with management and other important life skills that need structure and discipline.
Neglectful Parenting Style:
Neglectful is uninvolved parenting is one where parents are almost or completely at bay from their child’s needs and demands. They are mostly busy with their own lives and mostly ignore their children altogether. This could be considered the worst type of parenting.
- These parents act emotionally distant.
- They limit their interaction with the kids since they are too busy or overwhelmed with their own problems.
- They do not set rules or boundaries for their children.
- They ignore their responsibilities towards their children like skipping school events, Parent-teacher meetings, etc.
Effects on children:
- These children have low self-esteem and feel unwanted all the time.
- They become emotionally withdrawn from the world and have a high risk of developing anxiety and other psychological disorders due to lack of family support.
- They fear commitment, and being dependent on other people as they feel they would end up feeling unwanted over there.
- They have an increased risk of substance abuse.
To conclude the discussion, the given types may many times not exist independently and distinctively, but it is important for you as parents to understand your own behavior and identify your parenting style and alter it whenever necessary. You must also understand the effects your parenting style has on your kids, in order to ensure that your children don’t get negatively affected. Remember, making conscious and effective parenting decisions is always in your hands!

Sound — 10
It was three long years since the Deftones released an album, and boy have they come back with a bang. The sound is huge and at time can be crushing. From the opener "Hole in the Earth" to the closer "Riviere" ("Drive" if you got the disc with the bonus track), the album is a roller coaster of a ride. At first spin I had a hard time accepting this as Deftones simply because they have gone in a whole new direction. The sound swings from beautiful, immense tracks such as "Cherry Waves" and "Xerces" to bonecrushing tracks like "Rats, Rats, Rats!" and "Rapture". The way the guitars, bass, drums, and vocals blend together has sent chills up my spine, and at times the sound can be frightening.
Lyrics — 8
The lyrics are nothing short of cyptic. Chino's talent of being able to write deep, emotional lyrics and then carrying them out in his singing ability is clearly brought out in this album. The lyrics and vocals blend extremely well with the music. At times Mr. Moreno is singing with lighter instrumental sound, and screaming visciously at the top of his lungs while the instrumental sound are devasting.
Overall Impression — 9
While clearly not "White Pony", this album is the second best album the Deftones have recorded thus far. The most notable tracks on this disc are "Rats, Rats, Rats!", "Cherry Waves", "Rapture", and "KimDracula". The thing I love most about this album is the fact that it sounds nothing like anything else you can buy, no one can touch the Deftones. The thing I hate most about this or any album are contributing artists. The Deftones have the skill and talent to pretty much not even need help from someone else, unless they have Dino Cazares or Marilyn Manson join in on the fun. Oh, and if this disc were lost, stolen, and/or broken, I will definetly buy it again.

Let’s set the scene. You’re on the hunt for the perfect yoga mat. Your wish list is specific: it must offer great traction, it must be eco-friendly, and above all, the price must not make your wallet cry. In other words, you’re looking for the best quality yoga mat price. But how do you navigate the sea of choices, and where do you even start?

Eco-Friendly Options: Saving Your Wallet and the Planet
Yoga is all about harmony and balance, not just within ourselves but with the world around us. It’s only right, then, that many practitioners prefer eco-friendly mats. In your search for the best quality yoga mat price, you might be thinking that these environmentally sound options will break the bank. Let’s put that myth to rest.
You’ve probably seen natural rubber mats top the lists of the best eco-friendly yoga mats. And yes, they can be pricey, with some models costing up to $100 or more. But that’s not the whole story. As demand for green products increases, more affordable options have sprung up on the market.
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers)
Meet TPE mats, made from a mix of plastic and rubber. TPE mats are a cost-effective alternative to natural rubber, offering similar traction and cushioning. And since TPE is recyclable, these mats tick the eco-friendly box too. Prices for TPE mats range from $20 to $60, a steal when compared to some high-end rubber mats.
Another eco-friendly and budget-friendly option is cork. Harvesting cork doesn’t harm the tree, making it a renewable resource. Plus, it’s naturally antibacterial and offers good traction, especially when wet. And the price? You can grab a cork yoga mat for as little as $30.
Jute and Cotton
If you’re hunting for the best quality yoga mat price and want to go as green as possible, don’t overlook jute and cotton mats. Jute is a natural fiber that’s incredibly durable, while cotton is soft and comfortable. While they don’t offer as much cushioning as rubber or TPE mats, they’re perfect for more experienced yogis who prefer a closer connection to the floor. These mats usually range from $15 to $50.
Customization and Personal Touch: Does It Affect the Price?
You’ve considered material, size, brand, and environmental impact. But there’s another factor that could tip the scales in your yoga mat selection: customization.
Today’s yoga mat market offers a plethora of customization options. From choosing the color and pattern to getting your name or a motivational quote printed on it, the possibilities are endless. Of course, this personal touch comes with an additional cost. Depending on the level of customization, you could be looking at an additional $10 to $50 on top of the base price of your mat.
Is it worth it? Only you can answer that. If having a one-of-a-kind mat that reflects your personality and boosts your motivation to practice sounds appealing, it could be money well spent. However, keep in mind that customization doesn’t necessarily improve the mat’s quality or performance.
The Bottom Line: The Real Deal with Best Quality Yoga Mat Price
Looking for the best quality yoga mat price is akin to finding the Holy Grail of yoga accessories. With such a vast range of materials, sizes, brands, and even customization options to consider, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
But fear not, because the perfect yoga mat for you is out there. It just takes a little research and patience to find it. Remember, it’s not always about finding the cheapest mat, nor the most expensive one. It’s about finding the mat that fits your personal needs, preferences, and budget.
Investing in a quality yoga mat is an investment in your yoga journey. The right mat can enhance your practice, provide comfort, and even motivate you to roll it out each day. So take your time, consider your options, and make a choice that you’ll be happy with.
And who knows? Perhaps your perfect mat, the one with the best quality yoga mat price, is just around the corner, waiting for you to unroll it and start your practice. Namaste.
The Best Quality Yoga Mat Price: The Takeaway
Let’s delve deeper into the age-old struggle: quality versus price. According to a 2022 survey by Yoga Journal, a staggering 82% of yogis cited price as their primary concern when purchasing a new mat. However, 67% also claimed they’d be willing to pay more for improved quality. This balancing act raises an intriguing question: can one find high-quality mats at an affordable price?
In the world of yoga mats, high prices often correlate with certain features such as better grip, extra padding, larger size, or eco-friendly materials. Yet, a higher price tag doesn’t always guarantee better performance. There have been instances where lesser-known brands offer similar, if not superior, quality at a lower price.
Indeed, a study by the Consumer Reports in 2023 indicated that some yoga mats priced under $30 outperformed options priced over $100 in aspects like durability and grip. The takeaway? Don’t let a hefty price tag fool you into equating cost with quality. Sometimes, the best quality yoga mat price is lurking where you least expect it.
Here’s a quick recap of the key points to consider in your quest for the best quality yoga mat price:
Navigating the Material Maze
Yoga mats come in a variety of materials, each with its pros and cons and, of course, impact on the price. If you’re a yogi on a budget, you might be tempted by PVC (polyvinic chloride) mats. They’re often the cheapest and most readily available option. However, PVC mats come with two significant downsides.
Firstly, when it comes to eco-friendliness, PVC mats fall short. The production process of PVC releases dioxin, a known carcinogen, into the environment. Furthermore, PVC mats are not biodegradable, meaning they can sit in a landfill for hundreds of years after they’re discarded.
Secondly, while PVC mats offer decent dry grip, they tend to get slippery when wet. If you’re someone who breaks a sweat during your yoga practice, this might be an issue.
On the other side of the spectrum, you have the natural rubber mats. These mats are eco-friendly, offer superior grip, and are generally more durable than their PVC counterparts. However, they come with a higher price tag. For the budget-conscious yogi, this might seem like a steep investment. Yet, if you’re concerned about the environment and need a mat with a good grip, the extra cost might be worth it.
In the middle ground between price and eco-friendliness, you’ll find mats made from cotton or jute. Both materials are sustainable, biodegradable, and offer a decent performance. These mats tend to be reasonably priced, making them a great option for those looking for a balance between cost, performance, and eco-friendliness.
Size and Thickness: Is Bigger Always Better?
The size and thickness of a yoga mat can directly impact its price. Larger, thicker mats require more material to manufacture, thus driving up the cost. However, these features can significantly enhance your comfort during practice.
Yoga mat thickness ranges from a slim 1/16 inch (about 1.6mm) to a plush 1/4 inch (about 6.4mm). Thinner mats are typically cheaper, easier to carry, and provide a better connection to the ground, which can be crucial for balance-focused poses. However, they offer less protection against hard surfaces.
On the other hand, thicker mats are more comfortable, especially for sensitive joints, and provide better insulation against cold floors. However, they’re heavier to carry around and may not provide as good a connection to the ground, making some poses more challenging.
In terms of size, standard yoga mats are usually 24 inches wide and 68 inches long. However, mats can vary in size for taller individuals or those who prefer more space during their practice. Extra-wide mats can go up to 36 inches, and extra-long mats can stretch to 84 inches. These added dimensions offer the benefit of increased personal space during your practice. You’ll be less likely to step or roll off the mat during expansive poses. But remember, the increase in size also means an increase in cost.
The Cost of Branding: Do Big Names Equate to Big Quality?
We live in a brand-conscious society, and yoga mats are no exception to this rule. Some yoga mat brands have earned a reputation for quality, innovation, and style. While these big names often deliver high-quality products, it’s crucial to remember that you’re also paying a premium for the brand name itself.
Brands such as Manduka and Liforme are often seen as the crème de la crème of the yoga world. Their mats come with innovative features such as alignment markings, extra-long sizes, and patented grip technology. However, these extras come at a price, with some mats retailing for well over $100.
On the flip side, lesser-known brands might not have the same brand recognition, but that doesn’t mean their products are inferior. Many smaller brands offer excellent quality mats at a fraction of the cost of their more famous counterparts.
So when considering the best quality yoga mat price, it’s worth exploring all options. Don’t shy away from a brand just because you haven’t heard of it before. As with any product, reviews and word of mouth are priceless. Make sure to do your research before making your purchase.
The Hidden Costs: Durability and Environmental Impact
When hunting for the best quality yoga mat price, it’s important to consider the hidden costs associated with your purchase. A cheap mat might seem like a great deal initially, but what happens when it starts to peel or loses its grip after just a few months of use?
Investing in a durable, higher-quality mat can save you money in the long run, as it will need to be replaced less frequently. This brings us to another hidden cost: the environmental impact.
The yoga mat industry contributes to the world’s plastic problem. The majority of yoga mats are made from PVC, which is not biodegradable and can take hundreds, if not thousands, of years to decompose in a landfill. By choosing an eco-friendly mat, you’re not just benefiting your yoga practice but the planet as well.

Conclusion: Finding Your Perfect Mat
Your journey to finding the best quality yoga mat price isn’t just about crunching numbers. It’s about finding a mat that supports and enhances your practice, aligns with your values and preferences, and fits your budget.
In your quest, remember to consider the material of the mat and its implications for both performance and the environment. Think about the size and thickness and how these affect your comfort and practice. Don’t get too caught up in brand names and customization unless they truly add value to your yoga journey.
Ultimately, the best quality yoga mat price is one that provides value for money. It’s the price point at which quality, performance, and cost intersect. The perfect mat is not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but the one that feels right for you.
So take your time, do your research, maybe even test a few mats if possible. In the end, the mat you choose will become a crucial part of your yoga journey, a silent partner in your quest for balance, strength, and tranquility. And that’s priceless.
Now, it’s time to roll out your mat and begin. Namaste.

Mechanically inclined, not electrically engineer inclined needing to power a 100 lb t shirt shooting vehicle (AGV). Team already has 2 12 volt (small car battery) power sources and 8 in wheels. Notion is to have 4 motors, one for each wheel. Design top speed about 6 mph (want to be able to keep up with it with a slow jog).
Issue is how to decide among the many motors? Want beefy enough motor to accelerate and but also want to keep it light and cost effective. Suggestions welcomed. Most robot parts dont seem adequate to power a
Look at the parts sold for the combat bots. They are around the size and power you are looking at. Here's a store that sells to that market with an example high power motor:
I don't know how to estimate how much power you need to push your machine. Is it going to be running on grass or a hard surface? It will need more power to run and turn on grass. Motors and power controllers for these size motors will not be cheap if you want real control over the machine (like R/C control with variable speed and steering). The above store might be able to help you pick parts to meet your needs.
You will probably save money by using 2 motors and 2 speed controllers instead of 4 smaller motors.
It is a vehicle with an air powered cannon to shoot T-shirts into the crowd of a sports game (basketball) for example. Application is smooth floor. You are correct, manuverability will be important to help aim the shirt. The cannon mount is fixed, and does not spin, the vehicle will need to turn to aim the shirt. Thank you.
I'm also working on a large robot. I'm using two 24VDC wheelchair gearmotors (ebay) and two rubber-wheeled swivel casters (Harbor Freight). I'm not sure why you're using 8 wheels for an application on a smooth floor. This will only serve to reduce maneuverability. Robots with more than 4 wheels are usually used for very rough terrain.
This is similar in weight and function of a "battle bot," and there are plenty of plans and descriptions around the Web you can follow if you don't want to get into the formulas and equations. "Cost effective" is relative, but the beefier motors and drive controllers aren't exactly cheap. Reduce cost and weight by using two motors and two support casters. If it's good enough to cart grandpa around in his Hover-round, it's good enough for a robot.
OK, heres the scoop, this is my dads post, and my project....I have a little more info...
we are CURRENTLY using 4 of these motors...
and this is our motor controller (the AX3500)
2 8 in rubber wheels for the back, and 2 8 in omni wheels for the front (allow to be slid both ways...)
2 12V small car batteries, and a 6 channel R\C controller\reciever
The tank shoots t-shirts at MSU sporting events during half time\other events, and hopefully lions\pistons games...
We need this thing to turn\manuver better...The motors we bought were crappy and the gear connecting the motor to the gearbox was falling off the shaft\friction fit...I am not good with electronics, are these motors strong enough and just poorly made? or do we need to look at all new motors\controller?? Any input would be awesome!
This looks like a fine motor for a much lighter robot.
No comment on this because you're using the wrong motors anyway.
First off, you lose torque with wheels this large. You get faster speed, but you need to balance this with the needs of adequate torque. Also, the omni wheels are frightfully inefficient. You're losing a lot right there. Rethink these. They are seldom a practical solution.
Lead acid batteries are extremely inefficient and heavy for their capacity. See if you can upgrade to at least nickel-metal hydride. Li-po batteries would be even better, but very expensive.
Friction fit? The motor shafts appear to use a flatted-D, and so should be secured with a metal set screw. However, for the weight you're talking about, even with lighter batteries, I'd look for something with a key, a hex shaft, or some other configuration that eliminates slip.
On edit I see you're talking about the internal construction of the motors. Anyway, if this happened to more than one, then I'd suspect the motors simply cannot handle the weight of the robot, and you're demanding too much from them.
I'd do this: get 2 wheelchair motors and two matching wheels. Cost from the typical Web source will be about $300 each set. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Robotmarketplace sells these types of motors, from NPC (a wheelchair parts company). Here is their direct URL:
Supplement these with two swivel casters. You can get heavy-duty ones from the same source as above, and other outlets (Harbor Freight has some nice ones that are larger, and not too expensive).
NiMH battery packs, rated for the voltage/current of the motors you are using. Be sure to get a suitable charger. Remember that many wheelchair motors can be operated at 12-24V, and speed is increased with the higher voltage. Therefore, if you need the speed, double-up the packs to get
and for the motors, the gear running from the actual motor to the attached gearbox comes off, not the actual output shaft. it is a tiny gear with no screw on it at all...
We only got those omni wheels because to hopefully make the front wheels slide smoother, we could use orbital wheels maybe? or just get smaller wheels to bring the required torque down...and suggestions on which motors to buy? that would make the 2 wheel drive system work?
The best motor you can afford! At $150-300+ each, I imagine the selection will be mainly what kind of money you have to spend.
Chat up the folks at the site and ask their recommendation. They're more familiar with the products, and they may be able to help you select the best motor for the least cost.
As for the other message, I don't see that you need powered omniwheels. Personally I think you're wasting battery power here. A traditional differentially-steered robot with swivel casters (either two on one side, or a set both front and back, depending on design) is tried-and-true.
As an added note, the NPC site also shows "package deals" that at the least indicates what they think works together. They do show sealed lead-acid batteries, which for the size of these motors may be what you need, but do remember the application they are looking at tends to be combat robots, where the thing needs a HUGE amount of current for a short period of time (usually just minutes).
Your web site documents say you went with this motor:
Note also the web says they are good for robots in the 10 to 15 lb range. That should have clued you that you were in the wrong range for what you were trying to do.
Looking at the nice write up on motor selection, I see a few issues.
You calculated you needed an RPM of 420, and a torque of 4 ft-lbs (total for all 4 motors combined).
The motor you selected has a no-load RPM of 510 and a stall torque of 1.85 ft-lbs.
Here's the catch which no one told you....
Motors have a torque of 0 at the no load speed, and a speed of 0 at the stall torque rating. These two points can be plotted on a speed vs torque graph and you can draw a straight line between these two points to get a good estimate of what type of torque the motor can produce at different speeds. At half the no-load speed, it will only be producing half the stall-torque. So at 210 rpm, those motors can only produce .925 ft-lbs. That's about half the power you calculated you needed which means the unit will be able to go only half as fast as you wanted - if your torque calculation was correct.
We can use a little math and calculate the torque at your desired 420 RPM and we find this:
1.85 * ((510-420) / 510) = .33 ft-lbs.
So we see at your desired RPM, the motor you bought could only produce .33 ft-lbs of torque or 1.32 total for all 4 which is _way_ short of what you calculated was needed at 4 ft-lbs.
In addition, I wouldn't trust the procedure you used to calculate required torque. You made the calculation based on the rolling friction at the desired speed. However, with hard wheels on a hard surface like concrete or a basketball court, the rolling friction will be insignificant. The power loss due to the transmission between the wheels and the motors (gears? Chain?) and the power loss in the wheel bearings will be determining factors of the torque at speed, not the rolling friction.
However, you used an ungodly high number for the rolling friction coefficient (.1 instead of a more reasonable .01) so who knows if that might produce a reasonable answer or not.
However, even if you had good numbers for power loss in the transmission and bearings, that's not the big load. The big load is what happens when you try to accelerate a bot that heavy from a stand still. The F=MA force is what the torque of the motors have to overcome to accelerate the bot to the desired speed in something less than an hour. :) When a machine that heavy starts from a dead start, or switches from reverse to forward quickly, you will be drawing the full stall current on those motors for a short period.
Then we add to this the fact you are using skid steering to make the bot turn. That will require a ton of extra torque when you try to make it turn which is a complex function of the mass of bot and the friction of those omni-wheels you are using. In addition, only two motors (the non-omni wheels) are required to supply most the torque to make it turn since the motors on the omni-wheels only push it forward and don't help it turn.
All in all, I wouldn't trust your torque calculation. But you might have gotten them in the right ball park anyhow by you extremely conservative guess at the rolling friction coefficient.
However, if you have the bot running with those motors, you can use that get a good estimate of what you really need. How fast does it go when running straight? Can it turn? How fast? How long does it take to accelerate? Using those numbers along with the specs of the motors you have, you can estimate how much more power you need. Tell me how fast it runs with those motors and I'll take a stab a making a guess on what you need.
If it runs at half the speed you want, (and assuming your RPM calculations are correct), we can assume the motor is running at about 210 RPM. Those motors should be putting out about
1.85 * ((510-210) / 510) = 1.05 ft-lbs.
of torque at that speed. The HP produced at that operating point translates to:
hp = torque (in ft-lbs) * rpm / 5252
1.05 * 210 / 5252 = .042 HP per motor
or .17 HP total for all four motors.
In this case, if you want it to go twice as fast, you need around .3 HP total. Or, if you switch to the 2 motor design, .15 hp per motor.
Checking the web site again... This starter kit seems to imply it would work for you sized bot (60 to 120 lb bots):
which uses these motors:
Checking the 24 V chart, we see it puts out .16 HP at 165 RPM and 60.1 in-lbs or 5 ft-lbs. That makes it about 4 times as powerful as your current motors.
So two of these motors operating at that range, should push your bot to around the 10 MPH rating (assuming your current machine is running at about half the speed you want). But it's running at 165 RPM, instead of the 420 you need, so you need to add a 2.54:1 gearing or drive on that to get it into the right speed/torque ratio. Or just use 20" wheels.
But if the current motors can't get your machine running half the speed you want, you will need something larger, or maybe 4 of the NPC-41250s instead of 2.
Or go to an even larger motor like this:
But you will need higher power controllers for that as well. And you are now up to the $330 range instead of the $50 range you started at for each motor. I hope you have a good budget for this project. :)
BTW, don't trust anything I write without double checking it. I have _NO_ experience building these types of bots so I might be completely wrong about something important here. I just enjoy the learning experience of trying to figure out someone else's problems....
Wow, the pictures make all the difference in the world. I see several aspects of your design that make life difficult for your drive wheels.
It looks like you have a set of tank treads on the outside which are mearly cosmetic. However, it also looks like you plan on them working by being dragged along. Consider lightening the load by making the tank treads non-moving and depict them with carved foam and paint.
The width of the wheel base (the real, functional wheels) is fairly narrow when compared to the length of the wheel base. (However, this is only an issue when turning) Consider both the possibility of moving the wheels away from the front and back, and further out towards the sides.
Since you have 4 wheels, you need to realize that you will often be in situations (such as door thresholds and transitioning ramps) where one wheel is up in the air. So, you can end up with one of the wheels carrying half of the weight for a time. You might have been tempted to think that each wheel only carries 1/4 the weight.
You have some hefty pillow blocks there. Perhaps if you went to another wheel support method, you could lighten the load even more.
Another source for affordable wheels and motors would be those made for electric scooters (the toy scooters, not for handicapped) They seem to be under $50 for a motor and wheel. Look at Pep-Boy Autoparts for a store chain that carries them. Here is one source for electric scooter parts;
Another solution may be a hub-motor wheel. Here is one link to a chinese manufacturer. They have some calculations at the bottom of the page to help you choose.
I think the tshirt shooting tank is more like the scooter than the combat bot. If the tank can only do 4 mph and it takes a while to achieve that speed, i dont think its a problem. Maneuverability is more important, like the scooter. Since aiming the tshirt cannon will be done largely by turning the tank, it needs to have a tight turning radius. I like the scooter powertrain analogy. And...isnt everything explained by F=ma? :)
Yes, the treads are cosmetic. they dont move. Some weight of course but otherwise not a factor. Think the losses in the gear box, and the relatively light weight design of the gearbox is the primary problem right now.
Question: Does the tank get to a usable speed with the parts you are using right now? Or does it strip the gears and stop moving? What is the turning radius with the parts you are using right now?
And btw: the book wikinomics is an excellent read about design collaboration like this group is doing...in your copious spare time, consider reading
When I've seen t-shirts shot into the crowd at a sporting event, the guys doing the work tend to run at a good speed from area to area on the field to try to get to different parts of the crowd and not take up too much time during the game delay. So my guess is that getting the tank out on the court, and moving it from one end of the court to another, is something they can't wait 2 minutes while the tank slowly crawls along at a walking speed. What seems like I good clip when you are standing next to the tank will probably look like it's standing still from from up in the stands in a big arena. If it's that slow, they may have to carry it out, and carry it off the court, instead of letting it drive itself.
Also, with no turret, it can't drive along a side line and shoot into the crowd at the same time, so they have to stop and turn it, shoot a few times in different directions, and then turn and drive it down the court, stop and turn, shoot a few more times etc. All that will waste even more time and bore the fans if the tank isn't able to haul butt. If it had a turret which they could aim and shoot independent of the motion, that would allow them to get away with slower motion because it could be shooting as it moved down the field.
