Caring for trees in summer
Summer is finally here, and while some of us may be basking in the long hot days, the lack of rainfall can be disastrous for young saplings if they are left untended. Tree planting is a worthwhile and rewarding activity, a necessity to ensure our environment is a healthy, happy place for humans and wildlife alike. But planting is just the start of the care that a young tree needs until it is mature enough to fully rely on its own resources.
It is a distressing fact that many of our young trees do not reach maturity. In fact, evidence suggests that up to one in three planted trees die through a lack of adequate aftercare in their first five years. However, with a little care and attention, we can give these young trees a better chance of both surviving and thriving.
Young trees take time to establish an effective root support system - they cannot locate water themselves until they are around three years old, so it is vital to give them a helping hand during this time. Saplings need ongoing watering throughout the seasons, but in hot weather they can show signs of drought quickly, even if it has been raining.
Drought signals can vary between different species, but early signs include: wilting leaves during daylight hours but noticeably improving during the night, leaves changing colour to yellow or brown, curling to ends of leaves with brown markings, and withered looking leaves falling before they are ready. If the tree's canopy is becoming sparse with branches dying, and nearly all leaves brown and withered, this signals that the tree has been suffering drought stress for some time.
Summer tree care tips:
During warm weather, we recommend watering saplings with around 20 litres of water (two bucketfuls) between 1 and 3 times per week. You can increase from spring, and decrease after the peak heats of summer until autumn.
It's best to use a rose on your watering can which will help the water soak through the ground slower, and be sure to water underneath the tree canopy, not just around the base. Be careful not to water in small frequent increments as this will only wet the ground's surface and might encourage the roots to grow upwards, searching for surface water.
Other plants can quickly spring up around the base of the tree, overwhelming the sapling whilst competing for light, nutrients and water. It is advisable not to trim back vegetation, as this will just encourage more growth. Instead, try hand weeding or tramping down the plants over the space of around half a metre radius, whilst taking care not to damage the tree's roots. Using chemical weedkillers is again not advisable as these can harm the tree.
Mulching around the base of the tree (whilst being careful to keep it from actually touching the tree stem in case of rotting) can be a really good way of keeping weeds down and the area around it cool and damp. If you are going to mulch, then weed the area first to clear it. You can obtain proper mulching mats, or alternatively create your own out of materials such as: leaf litter, well rotted lawn clippings, woodchips and forest bark, and even old carpets or polythene sheeting.
ADJUSTING TIES AND GUARDS
Tree guards are useful for stopping animals damaging or stripping the tree, but it is important to check these to ensure that they are still needed and doing their job. If not, consider adapting or changing the guard or removing it so that it does not risk injuring the tree over time.
If your tree was 1.5 metres or over when planted, then it is very likely that a stake was used for support. Check that the tie, preferably something stretchy and pliable, is not constricting the tree, and if the tree in fact does still need it. You can shorten the stake if necessary. Ensure the stem can still move with the wind, which will encourage its growth.
Happy summer tree care!

Narraway to skipper England
May 25, 2011

Gloucester No.8 Luke Narraway will captain England in Sunday's non-cap game against the Barbarians at Twickenham.
Coach Stuart Lancaster has delayed naming his team due to a number of injury concerns, including Northampton scrum-half Lee Dickson.
The 26-year-old requires shoulder surgery and has been ruled out of this weekend's game and the forthcoming Churchill Cup.
"We've got a couple of other injuries to assess and we'll have a look at some potential replacements in training today against the England Under-20 side," Lancaster said. "Another 24 hours will give us time to finalise the squad before we move to Pennyhill Park and train at Twickenham on Friday.
"Our preparations have gone well overall and we're pleased to announce that Luke Narraway will captain the side, which is a great reflection of the form and leadership qualities he's demonstrated at Gloucester this season."
Saracens-bound fly-half Charlie Hodgson is likely to start in a backs division set to include capped internationals Matt Banahan, Ugo Monye and James Simpson-Daniel. The Barbarians name their team on Wednesday.

Chicago Public Schools has presented a school spending plan that will require $500 million more than the district has budgeted.
The heads of Chicago’s principals association say this is tantamount to writing a bad check. Heather Gillers and Cynthia Dizikes, writing for The Chicago Tribune, say that if the state lawmakers do not help CPS, the district will be forced to borrow the money or make additional cuts at the halfway mark of the coming school year.
“They’re not the budgets that we would like to be presenting,” the district’s interim CEO Jesse Ruiz said in a conference call with reporters. “But they reflect the reality of where we are today: facing a budget deficit of more than $1 billion, the increasing costs of a broken pension system, and a state government that slashed education funding.”
The assumption is that the preliminary budgets will excuse CPS’ debt of $500 million as part of a $700 million pension payment due June 30, 2016, by giving the district more money or by allowing CPS to delay its payment until 2017 or later. CPS has tried to convince the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund to extend the debt payment until 2017 or later, but last week the pension fund rejected the request.
All this means that when Chicago principals receive their preliminary budgets next Monday, the budgets will not be useful in giving principals an accurate picture of what they have to spend for the 2015 – 2016 school year. Clarice Berry, the president of the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association, said:
“They have issued budgets that have no money to back them. They are giving the principals a check that is going to bounce right now.”
That could lead to massive school interruptions, layoffs, and program eliminations. The plan does not include the cost of a new teacher contract with the Chicago Teachers Union for the upcoming year and means that CPS will not continue to maintain funding levels to schools that experience a drop in enrollment. Now, schools that have enrollment decreases will receive about $100 million less than last year. Most of those cuts will affect district-run community schools, not charter schools.
Per pupil funding levels will remain the same as last year, write Lauren Fitzpatrick and Fran Spielman of the Chicago Sun-Times, which means that if more students show up than were planned, the school may gain some funding — but if fewer students enroll, the school will lose, according to CPS Chief Financial Officer Ginger Ostro. In other words, CPS will not provide a financial safety net for schools with fewer students than expected.
“Due to years of poor state funding, a broken pension system and bad fiscal decisions, we are left with no good choices until a comprehensive solution is reached, and these school budgets reflect that sad fact,” interim CPS CEO Jesse Ruiz said.
The bottom line, explains Greg Hinz of Crain’s Chicago Business is that some charter schools will get as much as $3.4 million more this year, and non-charters will lose as much as $1.35 million. This means that some of Chicago’s well-known traditional high schools may be the biggest losers. And even though some traditional high schools will gain as much as $1.5 million because of growing enrollment. the big winners will be charters, whether new or enlarging.
CPS watcher Linda Lenz, publisher of Catalyst, a news organization that tracks developments in Chicago education, says:
With regular schools losing money year after year, “At some point, you have a hard time providing basic services,” she says. And because neighborhood schools have union rules that the charters lack, “their money doesn’t go as far.”

Approximately 70 kms from Srinagar, there is a beautiful touristy hamlet called Kokernag. There is a spring in the middle of the place called Papashudan Nag or sin-cleansing spring. Kashmir’s education minister was born somewhere nearby -- in a village called Damhal. Unfortunately the minister never got the opportunity to wash his misdeeds in the neighbourhood spring. Instead leading by example he got someone in the state board of school education to write his son's exams.
That was two years ago. Newspaper reports suggest that his son recently bagged a distinction in the senior year or first year of A-Level certification (locally called Bahim jamaat). When your dad is a minister of education, who gets a dozen schools sanctioned in tiny Damhal -- if only to improve upon the 13,000 votes he polled last time -- you cannot afford to score a lower grade. How can you invoke the Kashmiri-accented Urdu bluster in cafés, without 85% marks?
There is something odd about old Congressmen in the valley. One they do the best shaves in the whole world as if they have all the time to primp and prink their double-chins. Two they make moral corruption look like meat and potatoes. There are so many mini-scandals stacked up with skeletons in Congress (and NC) closets that one would easily lose count. A dozen leaders were implicated -- one of the main accusers being a minor -- when the 2006 sex scandal surfaced. Nothing ever came out of it.
And here we are in the beginning of 2012 with the usual middle class gibberish being regurgitated at regular intervals in the corporate media. A million tourists this year. One for each vine and weed in the Dal. Regulation politicians in Karakul caps, neck deep in corruption, ruling the little valley of ours slyly eyeing the next election, completely unmindful of the ethical decay slowly eroding us. It is almost sad.
Thanks to Julian Assange we know what the US embassy in New Delhi wrote to the State Department in the US in their classified cables on Kashmir. “Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed behaves like a traditional Congress machine politician, one who asks his staff to put on his socks and shoes for him.”
Sometimes the Americans get it bang-on.

Ground broken for walking trail in Bicentennial Park
Brookhaven’s Healthy Hometown committee members ceremonially broke ground on the new walking trail at Bicentennial Park Thursday.
The new trail will wrap around the park in an eight-foot and quarter-mile loop. The path will include five exercise stations and clear views of the playground so parents can monitor their children while walking.
“We only have one trail in City Park, so as long as there are funds available, why not make it more accessible to people in this neighborhood,” said Karen Sullivan, committee member and alderman at large.
Last year, Brookhaven was awarded $25,000 grant from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation for its effort in becoming a healthier hometown. As the overseers for the money, The Healthy Hometown committee voted to incorporate a new walking trail in Main Street park.
“It’s really time for cities to step up in promoting health and wellness in communities,” said Sullivan.
The committee was founded last year by a group of like-minded citizens from diverse health backgrounds. Their goal is to continue in the efforts to make the city fit the description of healthy hometown
Elizabeth Smith, with King’s Daughters Medical Center Performance Center, explained the committee will be working more to educate the community by having information about healthy lifestyles available at health fairs, the farmers market and other community events.
“Changes in diet, exercise and habits can build a stronger and healthier overall community,” said Smith.
Sullivan said people and organizations have already been working toward promoting health in Brookhaven; the committee is a way to bring all these efforts together. She added that it was because of their improvements over the years, the committee was able to receive the grant.
The committee is already discussing future park enhancements.

Bella is a precious little 6 year old sable girl who came into the shelter with 3 other sable cagemates. All 4 were flea infested, dehydrated and in poor condition. Bella was thin, malnourished, anemic, but once she had a bath to wash off the accumulated urine and feces that all 4 had, she settled right by the food dishes, where I found her sleeping on top of one of the food dishes. The small photo insert was taken during her bath when she arrived. She loves EVERYTHING. She thinks medicine is a wonderful treat, bedding is awesome, and kisses your hands, arms and face.

Better way to add accent notes
I need to transpose several hundreds of notes, which is ok since I have hotkeys for the notes but each note has some accent notes. And those are placed via drag and drop which really really ...
I would appreciate to either add hotkeys to accents or assign a special key to repeat last used note.
So I click on a note hit a "repeat"-hotkey and place it. Otherwise this is quite a pain in the hand :)

The updated 2007 paperback version of “Kitchen Confidential” swiftly surpassed the just-released debut novel from James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, “The President is Missing,” for the top spot on the list. Bourdain’s followup, “Medium Raw,” ranks as fifth on Amazon’s list as well.
The original, 2000 hardcover edition of “Kitchen Confidential” currently stands at sixth on the list.
Some fans of Bourdain took to the customer reviews section for “Kitchen Confidential” Friday morning to share their condolences.
“Very sad to hear of the passing of Anthony Bourdain today,” wrote one reader, adding, “I originally read Kitchen Confidential back in 2001 and was “blown away” just like everyone else. It remains one of my favorite books to this day. As Bourdain’s career blossomed, it was always so refreshing to see how much compassion he showed toward the disadvantaged of this world. May he RIP.”
Bourdain was working as executive chef of the New York city restaurant Brasserie Les Halles when he shot to fame with “Kitchen Confidential,” and his career took off from there. Two years later, he launched his first TV show, “A Cook’s Tour,” on the Food Network.

Additionally, the temple is famous for being one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Siva. Lord Rama had constructed a Siva linga in order to offer thanks to the Lord after killing Ravana. Hence, the temple is a sacred site for both Shaivites and Vaishnavites.

Many of these mansions were built using a type of limestone known as karai.
It is estimated that 11,000 such mansions still remain—about half the number that existed 100 years ago. They were built by men who once traded in everything from salt to gems, with countries like Burma, Malaysia and Singapore. Much of their profits went into building these grand residences, which used to be called natukottai or regional fort. But in the mid-20th century, most Chettiar families moved to cities. Their palatial homes were left in the custody of caretakers, who maintained them for those rare occasions, such as weddings or Pongal, the Tamil harvest festival, when the family came to visit.

29 March 2017
I would like to invite you to a rehearsed reading of a brand new play written about the First World War expressly for South Glos Schools.
This project is supported and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, South Glos Council and Brass Works Theatre and the play has been developed with the involvement of local heritage centres and school children across South Gloucestershire. The fictional characters have been developed from historical documents, stories and research from this area, and the play will hopefully engage students in the lives of people that served at home and abroad during the First World War.
I am very interested to hear thoughts from the audience about the piece while it is still being developed, therefore I am especially keen for classes of students to attend – after all the published play will be given to all schools in South Glos as a learning resource and heritage play.
Please feel free to forward the attachment of the flyer to other schools, classes, local historians, members of the council or interested parties.
Admission is free but it would be helpful if you could email email@example.com to let us know of your intention to attend.

GOVERNMENT cuts amount to a loss of almost £450 in public spending for every man, woman and child in Bristol, it has been claimed.
The Labour Party says calculations based on research into cuts show households are taking a double hit from the squeeze on local government and welfare spending.
It says cuts in the Bristol local authority area work out at £446 per head – £329 in welfare and £117 in local government cuts. The regional average is £334.
Nearby North Somerset will see cuts per head of £355, while Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire will be less badly off at £296 and £274 per head respectively.
Nationally, the North East of England is the worst affected region with cuts amounting to £566 per head.
Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Liam Byrne said: "Communities facing the biggest hit to local government are also losing most from cuts to their tax credits and benefits."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "These changes are essential to keep the benefits bill sustainable, so that we can continue to support people when they need it most across the UK."


3 Muslim Americans sue over religious questioning by border officers, including at LAX
Three Muslim Americans have filed suit alleging that U.S. border officers questioned them about their religious beliefs in violation of their constitutional rights when they returned from international travel.
The three men, who are from Minnesota, Texas and Arizona, sued Department of Homeland Security officials in a federal court in Los Angeles. The lawsuit was filed in California because some of the questioning allegedly occurred at Los Angeles International Airport.
In the lawsuit, the men say that U.S. border officers at land crossings and international airports peppered them with questions about whether they were Muslim and attended a mosque and how often they prayed.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the men, said the questioning violated the men’s constitutional rights to freedom of religion and protection against unequal treatment.
“Just as border officers may not single out Christian Americans to ask what denomination they are, which church they attend, and how regularly they pray, singling out Muslim Americans for similar questions is unconstitutional,” the lawsuit said.
It asks a judge to declare that the religious questioning was unconstitutional and to order U.S. government agencies to expunge records containing information obtained through the questioning of the men.
Hollywood has largely erased Muslims from our screens, but when they appear the same violent tropes are used. Riz Ahmed wants to change that.
A message left with Department of Homeland Security seeking comment about the lawsuit was not immediately returned.
The plaintiffs include Abdirahman Aden Kariye, an imam at a mosque in Bloomington, Minn. The lawsuit said he was questioned about his faith at least five different times when returning to the country between 2017 and 2022.
The repeated questioning caused Kariye stress and led him to stop wearing a Muslim cap known as a kufi and to stop carrying religious texts when he travels internationally, to avoid additional scrutiny, the lawsuit said.
Another plaintiff, Hameem Shah of Plano, Texas, said he was returning in 2019 from a vacation to Serbia and Bosnia when he was pulled aside at LAX for additional screening.
A generation of American Muslims has grown up in a world in which one terrible day changed their country. Visibility makes young women wearing hijabs especially vulnerable.
Officers separated him from other travelers and started reading his personal journal despite his protests and asked him whether he had traveled in the Middle East, saying they wanted to make sure he was a “safe person,” the lawsuit said.
They also asked him about his religious beliefs and practices and searched his phone despite his opposition and released him two hours later, the lawsuit said.
“I thought that being an American meant that I and others are free to practice any religion that we choose,” Shah said in a statement, adding that the airport experience still haunts him.

Local Father’s Life Forever Changed After Winning Middle School’s 50-50 Raffle
by Matthew McFadden. @matteymcfadden.
LENOX, MA. – While attending Lenox Memorial Middle School’s production of “Annie” this past weekend, Lenox resident Thomas Coleman unexpectedly became the focus of the night’s biggest spectacle after winning the largest 50-50 raffle pot in the drama club’s history.
“I’m usually not a gambling man,” said Coleman, “but that night I had a good feeling. You see usually it’s one ticket for one dollar, ten for five dollars, but this time they added an arms length of tickets for ten dollars! And I have arms like an orangutan!” he exclaimed, stretching out his arms to show off his above average wingspan. “I still knew the odds weren’t great, one in 20, maybe one in 30, but hey, somebody’s gotta win,” he said while sipping a blood orange San Pellegrino.
Excitement was at an all-time high at the end of intermission with rumors that the raffle pot was reaching triple digits. Once his ticket was drawn, Coleman, in attendance to see his daughter Patricia as Orphan #3, reportedly danced down the aisle to the stage where he collected his prize of 92 dollars in crumpled ones and fives. Coleman then delivered an acceptance speech that his his daughter would describe as, “really embarrassing.” He was also invited into an unspoken yet exclusive club of past 50-50 winners, include area mom and real estate supervisor Sandy Lewett.
“It’s not that I think we’re better than anybody, we just live such different lives now. We all say that money won’t change us, but it does. I got a subscription to “The Wall Street Journal” and “The New Yorker”, I paid off my library card debt,” noted Lewett , proudly sporting a 2016 Michael Kors pocketbook.
“I’ve cut ties with several of my closest friends,” added Coleman. “We just don’t relate any more. I mean, come on,” he said while gesturing to his brand new pair of new balance sneakers, “Look at these. We’re in two different worlds.”
When asked what she planned the drama club’s half of the winnings, Mrs. Keeves, the drama club director, simply responded, “Probably just use it to buy pizza for the cast party or something. It’s, like, not a lot of money.”

Inferno Metal Festival Norway reveals lineup
In partnership with Inferno Metal Festival, Indie Recordings will be hosting a label night on April 5, 2023 at SALT in Oslo (NO). The epic festival pre-party will feature performances from In Vain, Eradikated, and Vorbid. The event is free to Inferno Festival attendees with four-day passes. Others can purchase standalone tickets for the label event here. Information on SALT can be found here.
Due to high demand, Inferno Metal Festival Norway has announced additional black metal sightseeing tours on Friday, April 7, 2023 as tickets for the previously announced tour on April 6 have sold out! This unique experience takes place during the 2023 edition of Inferno Metal Festival, which takes place in the heart of Oslo, Norway at the Rockefeller, John Dee venue during Easter weekend from April 6-9, 2023. The lineup and daily schedules for the festival can be found below.
Hosted by Anders Odden (Cadaver, Celtic Frost, Satyricon, Order), the tour will take fans on a trip through the places that marked the beginnings of Norwegian black metal. For the average music fan, the story of Norwegian Black Metal is in essence something about murder, suicide, and church burning. Between 1991 and 1993 many of the most important events in this dark chapter in Norwegian music history took place in Oslo, and we have put together a field trip to the sights that takes you back in time.
Anders Odden formed his first black metal band, Slaught, in 1986 after attending a rehearsal with Mayhem at the age of 14. He was one of the pioneers in the infancy of the Norwegian scene dealing with tape trading, organizing concerts, and creating more and more extreme music on his own. He formed Cadaver in 1988 and released the first Norwegian death metal album on Earache Records in 1990. His band played shows with Darkthrone, Mayhem, Old Funeral, and many more bands of what would become the Norwegian black metal scene in the beginning.
This field trip has exclusive anecdotes and personal memories of the early life of the scene from someone who was there. The schedule for the tour is as follows:
Black Metal Bus Sightseeing – A Field Trip Through Oslo:
12:00 Departure The Hub, Inferno Festival hotel
12:30 Holmenkollen Kapell, re-done after church-fire 23rd of August 1992

15:00 Visit to Nasjonalbiblioteket – Black Metal Exhibition.

About Inferno Metal Festival:
In addition to celebrating heavy metal in the birth country of Norwegian black metal, Inferno Metal Festival also offers festival attendees a chance to embrace Norwegian culture. This year, metalheads traveling to Oslo are in for a very special treat as there will be a very special exhibition about Norwegian black metal at the National Library of Norway, which opens in April 2023 in conjunction with Inferno Metal Festival.
The new exhibition investigates the dark and chaotic feelings of Norwegian black metal. Drawing from the library’s rich collection, the exhibition references ancient Norwegian cultural history and shows black metal as a music form with a distinct artistic expression The exhibition conveys how Norwegian black metal has had an impact far beyond Norwegian borders with a vast number of international followers.
The National Library of Norway invites fans and other lovers of music and cultural history to dig deep and explore Norwegian black metal as a music genre and a cultural phenomenon. There will be guided tours every day of the festival week.

Sex specific differences in placental glucocorticoid sensitivity in pathological pregnancies (#147)
The human male and female fetus exhibit different strategies for survival to an adverse maternal environment. In pregnancies complicated by asthma we have identified that females reduce growth while males institute strategies to continue to grow. If a secondary event arises such as an asthma exacerbation, the female fetus does not change its smaller growth trajectory and survives to term. Conversely the male fetus is more at risk of growth restriction, preterm delivery or stillbirth in the presence of an exacerbation. These data suggest females adjust growth in response to an adverse maternal environment to survive any further reductions in oxygen or nutrients while males continue to grow normally at risk of a poor outcome if another adverse event occurs. We hypothesise that this sexually dimorphic response is the result of differences in sensitivity of the placenta to glucocorticoids which have downstream effects on pathways associated with growth. Our current research focuses on identifying the mechanism by which glucocorticoids confer a sex specific difference. Female placentae modulate intracellular cortisol concentrations by adjusting cortisol metabolism in response to maternal glucocorticoid concentrations relative to male placentae. We have identified sex differences in placental glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression, function and regulation in human placentae of both term and preterm pregnancies. GR gene expression may be regulated by differential microRNA expression between the sexes. Different isoforms of the GR and their localisation in the cytoplasm and the nucleus vary between the sexes. In combination these findings suggest the male fetus institutes a state of glucocorticoid resistance in order to continue to grow in an adverse maternal environment via differential expression and localisation of the GR while the female fetus tightly regulates glucocorticoid responses via modulating cortisol metabolism and GR isoform interactions.

Police are searching for a man who allegedly tried to rape a 10-year-old girl on her way to school in Queens Monday morning.
The girl had gotten off a bus on 168th Street in Jamaica at about 7:15 a.m. and was walking toward an underpass to take another bus to Fresh Meadows, where she goes to school, investigators said.
A man grabbed the girl and tried to assault her, but a passing car prompted him to run away, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Thursday.
The girl was not hurt.
Commuters waiting for buses yards from where the attempted rape took place were worried and disgusted.
"They need to catch him," said Jennifer Spencer of Jamaica.
A mother who gave her first name as Denise said she thought of her own daughter.
"My daughter's 10," she said. "Thank God it wasn't her."
Anyone who recognizes the suspect depicted in the sketch is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

I want to connect the AD9361 board TX output (output power < 0dBm) to an external PA. which PA can I use (2.4GHz)? couldn't find any PA module that accepts <0dBm input. thanks!
Please check below link for Power amplifiers available from ADI.
Typical PA gains will be around 20 dB and if your input signal is at -10 dBm and target power is +27 dBm you may have to use a driver amplifier.( 2 stage design,).
Check for max power output from AD9361 for your waveform (modulation) using an evaluation board for chain gain calculations.

I am about to order a new intermediate shaft kit for my Dana 20. I've noticed that the kit from Novak is more than double the cost of the Crown or Omix-Ada kit. Is the Novak kit that much better, or just overpriced? Does anyone have any feedback regarding the "lesser" kits?
Novak advertises "triple alloy". Here is the definition for 8620 Steel. This chromium-molybdenum-nickel "triple alloy" is a widely used case hardening alloy grade. Used where high surface hardenability and tough core is desired along with easy machinability and excellent wear resistance. The chromium and molybdenum contribute to hardness penetration while the nickel increases the toughness. Typical applications include: gauges, jigs, gears, piston rods, plastic molds, cams, pinions, spline shafts.
Thanks everyone for comments. It sounds like an extra $50 now will save me more than $50 in headaches later. :-) Yes, I am aware of the tapered shaft and even caught myself wanting to drive it the wrong way during disassembly. An easy mistake to make as I discovered. If I had access to a lathe, a "tool" would be a great idea. I'll give it a go with assembly Lube or Vaseline to hold Them in place when putting together, but I am guessing that tapping the pin in will likely dislodge a few of the bearings.
I have rebuilt a couple of Dana 300s using Novak Kits. It wasn't a bad job, they have excellent instructions. I don't know how much difference there is between the 20 and 300. I didn't need a holder/spacer for the intermediate gear needles, just Vaseline, it seemed like they almost snapped into place when I got the last one in.
There are some things you will learn while holding a cat by the tail that can be learned no other way...

Sky Blue lost 1-0 to the Chicago Red Stars off an extended corner in the 54 minute involving multiple headers and deflections. The team worked hard to adjust to the departure of national teamers Christie Rampone and Kelley O’Hara. The absence of these players led head coach Jim Gabarra to make some adjustments to his usual team.
For the next few weeks, and hopefully into July, the team will be without national team players. Coach Jim Gabarra has tweaked his line up accordingly. The team switched from their usual 4-2-3-1 and came out in a new look 4-4-2. Cutshall slid from the midfield into the back four replacing Christie Rampone on national team duty. Kelley O’Hara was replaced by Cami Levin who slid from RB to LB. with Haagsma playing RB. In the midfield Katy Freels once again drifted forward; Sarah Killion took holding duties.
The team switched to a three-back system while chasing the game when down a goal.
For Chicago, the team came out in a 4-4-2 as well. The fullbacks were aggressive with the team designating play making duties to Chalupny running down the right flank. Christine Press, in her last game before joining the USWNT in L.A., dropped into the midfield often collecting the ball and running with speed at the make shift Sky Blue back line.
A Change is Gonna Come
Just like Sam Cooke told us, there was a looming day that Sky Blue lost its USWNT players and would have to make do. A lot of us wondered what would happen. Would the team stick to a 4-2-3-1? Who would come in for the backline and midfield to replace Sky Blue’s national team core?
The team came out in a 4-4-2, an adjustment for sure in the midfield. The team looked less than comfortable in the first half in their passing and movement. As Killion dropped and Freels pushed forward a space opened up between the two center midfielders. The team looked like they were constantly waiting and looking for one more passing option as the center backs and midfielders were caught standing on the ball. Chicago took advantage of this space and passed through the midfield as Press would pull Killion around while DiBernardo and Chalupny worked to exploit the space. In the second half though Gordon drifted inside and worked to be that extra midfield option for Killion and the Sky Blue center backs. While the team looked much better in the second half after Jim Gabarra’s changes, it wasn’t enough and the team needed more once Chicago went ahead off their set piece goal. It’ll be interesting if Gabarra sticks with the same formation or changes it up when Sky Blue return to NJ in a week.
A staple of Sky Blue through their first three games has been their flexibility. The fullbacks and the wide midifielders swapped constantly with Meg Morris and Kelley O’Hara switching the most. It wasn’t uncommon to see Katy Freels push up next to Nadia Nadim in the front line. The fullbacks were as much a part of the attacking plan as the strikers. This week however the team looked much more disciplined. The fullbacks did not bomb forward and rarely overlapped. This could be an effect of losing a more versatile player such as O’Hara who excels on both offense and defense, or even a steady presence like Rampone. Levin’s lack of forward pressure and momentum was noticeable as Haagsma played a safe day at full back. Even in the second half as Gordon cut more to the inside, Levin seemed reluctant to commit forward and join the attack.
The fullbacks didn’t get forward as much as previous weeks and this lead to a disjointed attack. When Sky Blue attacked no one seemed to have the freedom to join and support Nadim and Hayes in the attack. This lead to a slew of 1 v 2 chances for Nadim where she would have to do a lot of work to make something happen or Freels would be reduced to shooting from afar. Expect the team to look more comfortable as a unit next week as they adjust to their new responsibilities as a group. Nadim has been creating chances but the team can’t rely on her to take low percentage chances and turn them into goals.
Outshot Once Again
Sky Blue once again was outshot by their opponent. What looked like a strategic sacrifice and gamble is now looking like a more structural problem. Today the team was outshot 19-5, and gave up 10 shots on goal compared to only one of their chances finding the target. This is an overall trend that doesn’t look great.
Looking at the season, SBFC has taken fewer than half the number of shots of their opponents. The current tally is 30-65, in the opposition's favor. There is a smaller, but similar discrepancy with regard to shots on goal: 16-28, again in favor of the opponents of Sky Blue. The team has also given up almost twice as many corner kicks as it has received: 29 conceded; 14 taken.
Simply put, the team isn’t creating as many chances as its opponents.
SBFC struggled in a similar fashion at the beginning of the year, and had hoped that signing Nadia Nadim would solve some of these problems. While Nadim has been great this year, it does not look like she will be enough. The good news is that if the team is able to tread water until after the World Cup, the arrival of Kerr and Foord along with the return of O’Hara will hopefully help the team’s chance creation stats.
-Wonder why Chicago had their national team players while Sky Blue did not? Each team supposedly got three games out of their national team players regardless of date. Because of Chicago’s early bye week, this week was the third week for them.
-Sky Blue once again had a team strategically give their left back significant time on the ball. Lori Chalupny who usually plays holding midfielder was shifted to left back in anticipation of her World Cup duties.
-Christine Press is very fast and dangerous. Her time with the national team playing out wide has shown how dangerous she can be, the thought of her down the middle for Chicago when she comes back is scary
-While we were all worried about how they would do, Sky Blue’s makeshift defense did alright. They were one freaky set piece away from keeping a clean sheet. But the team overall needs to relieve some of the pressure off the back line

About the Programme:
COVID-19 has brought the debate concerning the role of international health regulations at the centre stage. While there are varied issues such as accessibility to healthcare, affordability and consolidating the operating procedures to deal with a disease, equity has emerged as one of the major concerns in recent times. The interface between law and science is another critical area where more attention is an urgent requirement. Engaging with these areas is indispensable now because the line between jurisdictional responses and international health regulations is becoming very thin.
The webinar, organised conjointly by Marwadi University and Weera Centre, thus sought to explore the scenario through roping in voices from major organisations like the World Health Organisation and the Third World Network.
Date: 25th July, 2020

YZF-R125 - Inspired by genius
The YZF-R125 is the most advanced 125 production supersport machine that Yamaha has ever built. This radical, high-revving, fuel-injected 125 is the work of the same engineers who created our legendary YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 supersport bikes. And, as you’d expect, the YZF-R125 is packed with advanced MotoGP technology as well as a whole range of R-series type engine and chassis features. Its liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, single cylinder, SOHC engine is tuned to deliver free-revving performance right through to maximum power at 9,000rpm – and for instant response and efficient operation this remarkable 6-speed 125 is equipped with a compact fuel injection system. The race-inspired chassis features a Deltabox frame and aluminium swinging arm for outstanding handling performance, and lightweight 5-spoke wheels help to minimize unsprung weight to give impressive roadholding. A large diameter 292mm front disc with a 230mm diameter rear disc make for effective stopping power, and the aggressive R-series bodywork lets everybody know exactly where this bike’s DNA has come from!
The verdict has it...... They are best small bikes to play around with when you are still with the "L" Plate on its bum.
When Beckett was around 2 years old we got him a Spiderman 3 wheel scooter. He has worn it out, and since he first learned how to ride, has incredible control over the scooter. On a trip to Honolulu when he was around 2 1/2, he scooted himself and his backpack all the way through the Atlanta airport, and it was the most awesome sight.
Today for his 5th birthday, he got a scooter upgrade. This one has 4 small wheels, and tilts from side to side. The front handlebars can also rotate 360 degress. He's already trying to trick ride. We took him out to the warehouse today where he had 5,000 square feet of open space to explore.

Current therapies are for autoimmune diseases are inadequate as they treat symptoms, not the underlying
cause, and are often associated with severe sides effects, especially upon prolonged use. Regulatory T cells
(Tregs) represent a major mechanism to actively suppress self-reactive T cells, which are present in all
individuals. A breakdown in Tregs leads to activation of self-reactive T cells that contribute to the development
of autoimmunity. Correspondingly, an attractive therapeutic approach is to re-regulate the immune system to
boost the numbers and/or function of Tregs to limit autoreactive T cells. Extensive work from my lab has
established that IL-2 is essential for Treg development and peripheral homeostasis. Furthermore, we showed
that key IL-2R-dependent activities were readily supported by low IL-2R signaling in Treg but not T effector
(Teff) cells. These findings provide mechanistic support for the notion to use low-dose recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2)
as a Treg-selective therapy for autoimmunity. Recent clinical trials across several autoimmune diseases show
that low-dose rIL-2 selectively boost Tregs that is often accompanied by clinical improvement. Nevertheless,
rIL-2 has poor pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that necessitate frequent administration.
Furthermore, autoimmune-related symptoms were not completely resolved, and upon cessation of low-dose
rIL-2, the autoimmune-attack usually resumed. New molecularly engineered IL-2-based biologics have been
developed that have improved properties when compared to recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2). In this regard, we
developed an IL-2-based protein, where IL-2 is linked to CD25. The IL-2/CD25 fusion protein shows selectively
toward Tregs and is much more effective than rIL-2 in expanding Tregs and limiting diabetes in NOD mice.
However, even with this improved IL-2-based biologic to deliver IL-2 activity, diabetes development was
sometimes only delayed. Based on these findings, we have hypothesized that combination strategies will be
necessary to enhance the efficacy of low-dose IL-2. One approach that we wish to investigate is to increase
Tregs through IL-2 while enhancing immunosuppress by simultaneously applying an immune regulating
activity. To accomplish this goal, we have developed a bifunctional fusion protein to deliver these two activities.
Thus, the main objective of this proposal is to optimize and evaluate the activities of this fusion protein in vivo
through the following specific aims. 1) To assess whether this bifunctional fusion protein is more effective than
mIL-2/CD25 to limit autoimmunity in pre-clinical mouse models of colitis and diabetes. 2) To determine the
cellular mechanism of action of this bifunctional fusion protein. These studies test the extent this novel fusion
protein directly limits Teff cells and affects other immune cells in the tissue site(s) of autoimmune attack. 3) To
evaluate the contribution of the bifunctional fusion protein on autoreactive T cells.

The Indian Railways announced that it will be suspending operations of all passenger trains until the 31st of March. However, freight trains carrying essential items and supplies will be permitted to run.
The Railways has reached out to e-commerce companies, local industries and other organisations to provide on-demand parcel train services in a bid to ensure the unhindered supply of essential commodities throughout the country. This move comes after the initiative to convert nearly 11,519 AC train coaches and 34,017 non-AC train coaches into isolation wards. Initially, 5,000 coaches are being prepared to accommodate up to 80,000 beds.
E-commerce companies, local industries and any interested groups, organizations or individuals may contact railway officials at the zonal level to seek the loading of parcels. The ministry further announced that all Information including the contact details of Railways’ officials has been circulated and made publicly available.
So far, the Indian Railways has loaded over 30 ‘Special Parcel Trains’ to various destinations across the country. More routes for such parcel trains are in the process of being identified. Ten routes for ‘Time Tabled Parcel Trains’ are planned and a further tentative 18 new routes are planned for Special Parcel Trains to keep the country’s supply chains running.
In the last three days, 7,195 wagons of food grains, 6,4567 wagons of coal, 3,314 wagons of steel and 3,838 wagons of petroleum were loaded and transported. Meeting the needs of the nation, a total of 1,43,458 wagons of freight have already been loaded by the Indian Railways.
An intelligent decision to make use of the extensive railway network that covers the Indian subcontinent, this second initiative should help keep supply chains stable and provide citizens with much needed essentials during the nationwide lockdown to fight the COVID-19 outbreak.
