A report by HypeBot
has indicated that streaming platform Spotify is now the second largest source
of revenue for all major record companies. Beaten only by the inevitable iTunes,
Spotify is growing rapidly in terms of their royalty payouts.
Sean Parker, investor in Spotify is hopeful that Spotify can
one day overtake iTunes, claiming that if they “continue growing at their
current rate in terms of subscriptions and downloads, they’ll overtake iTunes
in terms of contributions to the recorded music business in under two years”.
You may think this sounds like typical Sean Parker bravado,
and you would be right. The gap between iTunes and Spotify is still significant.
However, in territories such as Sweden and France where streaming is more
prominent than downloads, this power shift could happen sooner than we think.

ALAIN BONNEFOIT SUMI-E | PAINTING | SCULPTURE
Painter, engraver and sculptor, Alain Bonnefoit was born in Montmartre, Paris, in 1937. From 1953 he attended the École des Arts Appliqués, from 1956 the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and from 1959 also the École des Beaux Arts in Brussels. In 1961 he began a two year period in the studio of the sculptor Volti who would become his maestro in both art and life. In 1964 he arrived at the form of expression that later made him famous: the female nude. In 1965 he moved to Tuscany but kept on his studio in Paris. In 1973 he made his first trip to Japan, an experience that affected him deeply, where he discovered and studied the technique of sumi-e. He made repeated visits to the East for further in-depth study and is now a master of the technique. In his forty year career Bonnefoit has experimented with the most varied means of expression: mixed techniques on canvas paper, oil painting, original lithography and engraving, his elegant sumi-e and sculpture. The real artistic explosion began in the early 90’s with requests for solo exhibitions increasing rapidly, together with critical and public success and outstanding shows throughout the world. His works have been acquired by public bodies in Japan, Korea and France. He lives between France and Italy which he now considers his second country.

Chestnuts, How to Roast
Chestnuts are traditionally roasted over an open fire in the fireplace. The husk of the chestnut must be pierced before roasting to prevent the nut from exploding. A special pan with holes in the bottom is used to contain the nuts over the fire. Roasting is done over a hot fire in a few minutes.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have already lost interest in his newly-released social media app, according to a report from Axios.
Since he was banned from mainstream social platforms for spreading misinformation, Trump desperately has tried to establish a new digital presence on his own. It hasn't gone well. For instance, 45office.com flamed out shortly after its launch and doesn't appear to have been updated in nine months.
Last month he announced the launch of the social messaging app Truth Social, but, as Axios is reporting, the launch has been anything but flawless. Former California Republican congressman and Trump sycophant Devin Nunes is CEO of the new venture.
The launch on Feb. 21 was plagued with errors. While the number of downloads from Apple's App Store was huge, so was the number of people who were shunted into a "waitlist" to be accepted as a user. Scores of people also encountered system errors when they tried to enter their birthdates to register and received the following message: "Something went wrong. Please try again."
"The former president is Truth Social's founder and chairman, so he obviously bears some responsibility for putting together the team that's so far fallen on its face," Axios noted.
Here's the most ironic aspect to Trump's latest social media foray, which he labeled a "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech:" He doesn't actually use the app himself. He hasn't posted one single time since its launch, Axios reported. Instead, pretty much all of his public utterances have come through appearances on Fox News and other conservative media outlets.
The SPAC that put up the money to develop and launch Truth Social predicted that 88 million of Trump's former Twitter followers would migrate to the new platform. As of today, his dormant account has fewer than 80,000 followers. One of them is self-proclaimed white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who was awarded a "verified" account by the site.

It is one of the many paradoxes of Jewish history that where as the Jewish people has known premature and unnatural death as a constant companion probably more than any other nation, culturally and spiritually the Jews are remarkably unpreoccupied by death and the hereafter.
In the Exodus from Egypt, the Jews left a vast civilization that was obsessed with death and devoted much spiritual energy and material resources to preparations for the hereafter. This cult of death was one of the evils from which Moses led the Children of Israel, guiding them toward a more wholesome outlook that put the stress on life.
The Jews never equated death with holiness. Cadavers, far from being treated as objects of sanctity and adoration, are regarded as impurities from which one must keep a distance. Of all the many forms of ritual defilement listed in Jewish law, the gravest is that caused by a corpse. And when a Jew, like a Cohen in the synagogue or a priest in the Temple, is called upon to serve in holy function, he has to take special precautions to avoid contact with death in any and every form. The same is true of the nazir, who voluntarily undertakes to follow an especially holy way of life. In Judaism, holiness is first and foremost the sanctity of life. Where life abounds, holiness is at hand. "Life" is a synonym for all that is most exalted in Creation. One of the names of God is "the God of life." The Torah is described as "the Torah of life." The Torah itself speaks of "life and goodness" as of one and the same thing. "Living waters" are seen as a source of purity. It is thus not surprising that the Jews rejected all forms of the myth of the Dead God. Death is the negation of the divine reality in all its manifestations.
The Jewish belief that "this world is the antechamber to the next" may well have inspired massive Gentile speculation on heaven and hell and purgatory, but, by contrast, Jewish literature and tradition engage in scant exploration of paradise. Judaism makes no attempt either to forget death or to smother it in false jubilation. "The dead praise not the Lord, nor do they who go down into the silence of the grave. But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and fore ever more, Hallelujah!" proclaims the Psalmist; characteristically, he disdains death, but he does not, he cannot ignore it. The natural reluctance to accept death is expressed in the conviction that the truly righteous do not actually due but "depart" or "ascend" to a different realm. Thus Maimonides writes of Moses: "There occurred in him what in other people is called death." It is said that "the righteous live on even in death, while the wicked are already dead when alive." Here again we have the parallelism – goodness is life and life is goodness, whereas evil is death and death is evil.
The Jewish approach to death is that it is a problem to be solved by and for the living. Death, preparation for death, and mourning all all worked into the fabric of day-to-day life. The essence of mourning is not sorrow for the deceased, but rather compassion for the surviving relatives in their loneliness. "Weep not for the dead man who has found rest," said an ancient eulogist, 'but weep for us who have found tears." Jewish law prescribes that all eulogies made at funerals are to life and to the surviving embers of the family. Grief is defined within, as it were, concentric ripples of diminishing intensity. The ripple on the first day of death is the strongest and most critical. Also powerful, but somewhat less so, is the first week of mourning. The succeeding periods are the first 30 days and the first 12 months, getting less and less grievous. At all times, precautions are taken against unseemly outbursts of violent keening. There is an express injunction against self-mutilation as a token of sympathy for the dead, let alone suicide in order to accompany the dead.
The personal confrontation with death, perhaps the harshest test of a personality and of a culture, is of course frequently encountered in Jewish lore. All the many variations of this theme have one feature in common – the encounter with death is looked upon as a major moment of life, which must be met worthily. Unlike many other cultures, Judaism does not accept that any particular kind of death is glorious per se – with one exception, to which we shall return.
Even in Biblical times, a hero's death was not regarded as a glorious achievement: the ideal was for a man to "sleep with his fathers" and to pass on the wealth of his life and strength to those who come after him. A special tome called "The Book of Departure," which describes the deaths of the fathers of the nation, harps constantly on the need to maintain a calm, confident stance in the face of the enemy death, to stand up to the Angel of Death and to be prepared in all tranquility to return "the bond of life to the Lord your God."
Nevertheless, there is one exceptional kind of death which the Jews do consider glorious, and which we term "sanctification of God's Name." martyrdom endured for the sake of sanctifying God's Name is a public act performed in the midst of the holy community, whereby the sacrifice imparts an added sense of sanctity to the living. When he is martyred in this way, the Jew embraces death for the sake of the survivors, so that their dedication to the Jewish way of life may be strengthened.
In this context, we can understand the extraordinary character of the Kaddish. Initially this ancient prayer has no connection with death or the dead, and was an ordinary part of the liturgy. Only at a relatively late period – in the early Middle Ages, when mounting persecution brought frequent martyrdom – did the Kaddish become a death prayer. However, it is devoid of even the slightest insinuation of reproach to God, who is throughout praised and glorified and sanctified.
The basic attitude of Judaism to death, which, it is said, was ushered in with Adam's expulsion from the Garden of Eden, is that it is not a natural, inevitable phenomenon. Death is life diseased, distorted, perverted, diverted from the flow of holiness, which is identified with life. So side by side with a stoic submission to death, there is a stubborn battle against it on the physical and cosmic level. The world's worst defect is seen to be death, whose representative is Satan. The remedy is faith in the resurrection. Ultimately, "death and evil" – and the one is tantamount to the other – are dismissed, as ephemeral. They are not part of the true essence of the world, and as the late Rabbi Kook emphasized in his writings, man should not accept the premise that death will always emerge the victor.
In the combat of life against death, of being against non-being, Judaism manifests disbelief in the persistence of death, and maintains that it is a temporary obstacle which can and will be overcome. Our sages, prophesying a world in which there will be no more death, wrote: "We are getting closer and closer to a world in which we shall be able to vanquish death, in which we shall be above and beyond death."

Holding ponds require periodic removal of accumulated sludge to restore the pond to its maximum holding capacity. Care is taken during the pumping and debris removal process to prevent damage to the liner or earthen subsurface.
MSI employs heavy duty hydraulic submersible pumps capable of moving water, sewage, sludge, industrial waste, winery byproduct and slurries at a flow rate of 1,400-2,200 gpm with a maximum solid intake of 3”. Submersible pumps can be staged as stand alone, wheeled or afloat as the situation dictates.
Pond effluent can be pumped to an adjacent holding area or directly into awaiting trucks for transport and disposal. Dewatering systems can be integrated into the procedure to aid in the disposal process.

Some soups are savory and some are sweet. Here are two soups that each have their own special zing, one from curry and one from bourbon. We continue our fascination with nut soups by offering:
Fry onion and garlic in butter until softened, about 3 minutes. Put crushed cashew nuts and onion mixture in a blender. Blend until smooth. Put cashew mixture into a deep pan. Add pineapple pieces, potatoes, vegetable bouillon, Bourbon, cream, salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture to soup. Stir constantly until thickened. Serve hot with garlic bread and garnished with parsley sprigs
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large celery stalk, diced
1 cup toasted cashew pieces
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
5 cups water, divided
2 teaspoons good quality curry powder or garam masala, more or less to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
juice of 1 fresh orange
3 cups steamed fresh green vegetables (such as finely chopped broccoli, green
peas ,diced zucchini or any combination)
salt to taste
Finely sliced scallions for garnish
Chopped cashews for garnish, optional
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion, garlic and celery and saute over medium heat until all are lightly browned. remove from the heat. Place the cashews in a good processor and process until finely ground. Add the onion mixture from the skillet, the ginger and 1 cup of the water. Process until well pureed.
Transfer the mixture into a large soup pot along with the rest of the water, the curry powder or garam masala, and lemon and orange juices. Bring to a simmer, then simmer gently over low heat for 30 minutes. remove from the heat and let stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Return to medium heat. Add the steamed vegetables and adjust if necessary with more water to achieve a slightly thick consistency. Season to taste with salt, then serve once the soup is heated through. Garnish each serving with a sprinkling of scallion and, if desired, a few chopped cashews.

The Soup Lady likes the soft give chewyness of heated cashews and apparently, she is not alone. Here is another fan of the cashew soup. Filmgoerjuan posts a recipe for CARROT CASHEW SOUP. I bet he has a hand-held blender.
Imagine this soup served in Stangl's Sun Pebbles bowls. Is this not the perfect match? I like this pattern becasue it's so 70s, so Joni Mitchell 'Chelsea Morning', so groovy. There's just not enough groovy around anymore, is there?

The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday urged Israel and the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table to quickly agree on a lasting truce in Gaza.
In a unanimously adopted statement, the 15-member council “offered full support to the Egyptian initiative and called upon the parties to resume negotiations to urgently reach a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.”
The statement drafted by France was agreed after negotiations in Cairo teetered on the verge of collapse amid a fresh flareup of violence in the war that has killed more than 2,000 Palestinians since July 8.
The measure fell short of a full resolution, but diplomats signaled they would be ready to move toward a stronger response if the Egyptian-led peace track hit a dead end.
“The urgency today was to respond to the fact that the talks appear to be breaking down and there has been a resumption of hostilities, and it was important for the Security Council to respond to that,” said British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, whose country holds the council presidency.
Earlier this month, Jordan circulated a draft resolution backed by Arab countries that calls for a ceasefire, the lifting of the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the delivery of urgently-needed aid to the Palestinians.
The fighting over the last six weeks marks the most violent confrontation between Israel and Hamas militants since the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, from 2000-2005.
Palestinian representative to the United Nations Riyad Mansour said his side was ready to return to the negotiations in Cairo.
“We want a sustainable negotiated peace. We want to stop dying. We want the violence to end. In order to do that, Israel must cease its aggression and agree to a deal,” Mansour told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York.
The armed wing of Gaza’s Islamist rulers Hamas warned foreign airlines against flying into Tel Aviv on Wednesday and declared the Cairo talks over.
Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of air strikes across Gaza in response to multiple rocket attacks on southern Israel, as nine days of calm exploded into bloodshed.
In the statement, the council expressed “grave concern” at the return to hostilities and the loss of civilian lives.
It called on the sides to “prevent the situation from escalating and to reach an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” as a first step toward a deal on a lasting truce.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the flareup in violence on Tuesday and called on both sides to reach “an immediate understanding on a durable ceasefire.”
“The hopes of the people of Gaza for a better future and the hopes of the people of Israel for sustainable security rest on the talks in Cairo,” Ban said.

Maria is an educator, scholar, and poet from Chicago, IL. Currently, she is completing a doctorate in the Department of English at Northwestern University as a Mellon Humanities Cluster Fellow in Poetry & Poetics. Her research bridges the fields of 20th and 21st century poetry and poetics, media archaeology, and critical race and ethnic studies. Before coming to Northwestern, Maria received a BA in English and BS in psychology from Loyola University Chicago, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa, as well as an MA in the humanities from the University of Chicago.
In addition to holding an interdisciplinary graduate certificate in critical theory, Maria earned a teaching certificate through a year-long program at Northwestern's Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching. She has taught in both the English and Spanish & Portuguese Departments on topics including Shakespeare, U.S. Latina/o studies, and intro to film, and in the spring of 2018 she designed an expository writing class on the politics and poetics of televisual representations in literature. Maria was also a member of the inaugural cohort of graduate students to offer a course through the Northwestern Prison Education Program at the Cook County Department of Corrections. The class, titled "Introduction to Poetry: Voices, Rhythms, and Visions of Chicago," was designed to provide incarcerated students with an opportunity to develop the skills of argumentation, organization, and style that go into formal essay writing. During the 2019-20 academic year, Maria is facilitating Northwestern’s first Critical Prison Studies Reading Group, which will bring together graduate students, undergraduates, and faculty from departments across the humanities, social sciences, and school of communication to discuss key texts on the history of the carceral state as well as prison abolition movements and strategies.
Maria has presented papers, among others, on embodiment and erasure in Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee at the University of Chicago, the eroticism of wordplay in Harryette Mullen’s Sleeping With The Dictionary at the Summer Institute Cologne, televisuality and the carceral state in Claudia Rankine's Don't Let Me Be Lonely at the Newberry Library, the “printed Internets” of Mónica de la Torre and Tan Lin at the Modern Language Association convention, and racialized sonic labor in LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs’s TwERK at the annual conference of the Cultural Studies Association. Her paper “Gertrude Stein Learns to Code: Brian Kim Stefans’s Kluge: A Meditation and the Corruptibility of Modernist Time” was nominated for the American Comparative Literature Association’s 2019 A. Owen Aldridge Prize and received the Honorable Mention. Upcoming presentations include research on the “DIY” print activism of the Mimeograph Revolution and the Penal Press database of poetry journals produced by incarcerated populations, to be delivered at the Midwest Modern Language Association and American Studies Association conferences this November.
Outside of her studies as a PhD student, Maria has volunteered with the after-school creative writing program Poetry in the Schools: The Voice Within Us, the college immersion experience Splash! at Northwestern for high school students, and with the Chicago chapter of Black and Pink—a pen pal matching organization that supports LGBTQIA2S+ incarcerated people. She has also worked for a number of institutions around the city of Chicago, including processing archival photographs and documents in the Modern Manuscripts and Archives department at the Newberry Library, administering The Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture at the University of Chicago, and interning for the non-profit poetry journal RHINO. In 2018, she was named a Humanities Without Walls pre-doctoral fellow by Northwestern’s Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities, an initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Maria’s creative and critical writing can be found in Colloquium, graze, Diminuendo: The Loyola Quarterly Literary Magazine, Palimpsest: Yale Literary & Arts Magazine, The Newberry Library Archive, and Chicago Review, for which she is presently a member of the poetry staff.

Three 1,5-benzodiazepines viz., 𝑁5-chloroacetyl-, 𝑁5-piperazinoacetyl- and N5 -morpholinoacetyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines have been synthesized. The structural characterisation and the conformational preferences of the compounds have been carried out using IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data. The NMR spectral data show that the 𝑁-acetyltetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepines prefer to exist in boat conformation with exo orientation of >C=O at 𝑁5 position in the solution state. The X-ray crystal structure of 𝑁5-morpholinoacetyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine also supports boat conformation in the solid state. The antimicrobial activity for 𝑁-acetyltetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepines have been carried out. 𝑁-morpholinoacetyl-2,2,4-trimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine demonstrated better antibacterial and antifungal activities.

It has been an amazing Fall - beautiful, colorful, and flying by like so many wind-blown leaves. I feel like the blog has been full of teaser images and rather light on full posts, but I promise it's only because I'm racing to keep up with all the family portraits, engagement sessions, and weddings taking advantage of what is arguably the most beautiful season of the year! Anyway, I thought I'd take the opportunity to give you a little more today - who doesn't want a bit of distraction on a Friday afternoon? Here's the rundown from my amazing UNC campus session with Quinn, Maarten, and the ever-entertaining Annalise.
Want to start a portrait session off right with your four year-old? Try chocolate cupcakes from Sugarland for breakfast...
This little girl has energy and personality to spare, and I love love LOVE catching her in all of her little moments...
But she also has this dreamy, sweet innocence about her that kills me every time.
One of these days, I'm going to have Quinn write a guest post for the blog about how to plan for your family's photo session... she shows up with the most amazing props and ideas, and makes my job so EASY! Parasols, tutus, superhero capes, rainbow ribbon twirlers (I'm making that name up)... Annalise was in heaven, and so was I :D
And then, at the end of the session, when the sugar rush had started to subside and the sun was getting high in the sky, we found this little fountain. In reality, it doesn't look like much, but with the magic of the camera, it became the perfect backdrop for this little dreamer. Annalise, I hope your fifth year of life sparkles half as brightly as you do.


2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA
Alfa Romeo isn’t the first brand you think of when it comes to lightweight performance sedans. But the Italian automaker is looking to flip that narrative with the arrival of the Giulia Quadrifoglio GTA.
Lighter, faster, and more powerful than any version of the Giulia Quadrifoglio, the Giulia GTA — it stands for Gran Turismo Alleggerita or “Grand Touring Lightened” — represents a complete makeover of the Giulia sedan.
Significant changes can be seen in the exterior, interior, and drivetrain departments, so much so that you’d be excused for thinking that Alfa Romeo has lost its marbles and has decided to dive in the deep end of the performance sedan pool. Not that we’re complaining; the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA has the vibe of a king slayer. It certainly looks like one.
Going Extreme: The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and GTAm
Following a couple of decades in disgrace, Alfa Romeo started to bounce back toward better days with cars like the 4C and Giulia Quadrifoglio. Now, the Italian carmaker takes yet another step toward the high-performance realm with the Giulia GTA and Giulia GTAm, two limited-edition sedans that pay tribute to iconic cars from the 1960s. Unveiled at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, both are lighter and more powerful than the Giulia Quadrifoglio, while the GTAm is a road-legal race car with only two seats, lightweight door panels, and room for helmets and racing suits.
2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Nring Edition
Named after two of the most extraordinary stretches of paved surface, the Stelvio QV NRing may present the only vehicle named after a mountain pass and a race track. One would expect to see the incredible supercar hidden behind this name, but the Stelvio QV is an SUV. A mad one at that, and even madder as the super-exclusive NRing Edition. Revealed alongside the aesthetically stunning Giulia QV NRing Edition, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio shares its unique ability to evoke Alfa Romeo Nurburgring achievements not many can match. However strange it may sound, the Alfa Romeo was cool at the Nurburgring before anyone could be cool there. This SUV celebrates that achievement.
2019 Alfa Romeo Tonale Concept
The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a crossover concept introduced at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Smaller than the Stelvio, the Tonale concept is based on the Jeep Renegade and previews the company’s second crossover. It’s also Alfa Romeo’s first hybrid vehicle. There’s no word as to when it will go in production, but it should happen sometime in 2020.
It’s been three years since Alfa Romeo joined the SUV market with the Stelvio, and the Italian firm is considering an expansion. With full access to parent company FCA’s platforms, Alfa Romeo is putting the Small Wide 4x4 chassis to good use. Already available in the Jeep Renegade, Jeep Compass, and Fiat 500X, these underpinnings will be adopted by the Tonale, Alfa Romeo’s smallest crossover yet. When it hits the market in 2020, the production version of this concept will compete against premium offerings like the Mercedes-Benz GLA and BMW X1.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Refuses to Die as Alfa Introduces Updates for the 2020 Model Year
Introduced in 2010, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is very long in the tooth as of 2019, but this isn’t stopping the Italian firm from keeping the hatchback in production with mild upgrades. Following a small facelift in 2016, the Giulietta shows off a new update at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Unfortunately, it’s far from impressive.
Alfa Romeo Tonale concept previews Jeep Renegade-based SUV with hybrid power
Alfa Romeo is about to launch its second SUV and gave us a preview of things to come at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The company’s upcoming crossover is called the Tonale and its smaller than the Stelvio. Likely based on the Jeep Renegade, the Tonale fits in the compact market and looks surprisingly sporty. The Tonale is also Alfa Romeo’s first plug-in hybrid.
Check Out This Walkaround of the All-New Almas by Mole Costruzione Artigianale
Mole Costruzione Artigianale’s second public project is called Almas, and it’s a ground-up new super GT car that could not have come from anywhere else but Italy. The design study will be unveiled at the 2019 Geneva motor show where we hope we will learn new things about it as current information is rather limited, to say the least.
Mole Costruzione Artigianale Almas oozes Italian style. It leaves a little tricolored puddle wherever it sits. It’s currently just a design study by Mole, the company that you may remember from its custom Alfa Romeo 4C project called Alfa Romeo Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001.
Unlike that Alfa Romeo 4C-based project, though, the Mole Almas isn’t built on another car’s underpinnings - it’s bespoke GT car with its own platform and this has given designers the freedom to make it look even more extreme. Its exterior design and styling certainly, the work of Umberto Palermo and Paolo Scudieri, make it stand out and the result is quintessentially Italian and very sculptural - it very successfully borrows design elements from classic Alfa Romeo and Maserati models, but everything is neatly integrated and the result is very visually cohesive.
Both its chassis and body are made from carbon fiber in order to keep weight down. We don’t know how much it weighs, or any technical facts for that matter, but we may learn more after it debuts at the 2019 Geneva motor show.
2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Euro Spec
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has already been around for a while, and the Italian automaker will introduce a new, posh, trim line at the 89th Geneva Auto Show called the Ti. It stands for ’Turismo Internazionale,’ and it’s a nod to Alfa’s storied past. This variant will be equipped with the meatier of the two 2.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-four engines, new burnished taillights, and new wheels to round things out.
This piece of news may already seem confusing to those of you that are familiar with Alfa’s American range of models. That’s because over in the U.S., Alfa is already offering the Stelvio Ti for the 2019 model year. In fact, you can choose between the $44,495 Stelvio Ti, the $46.995 Stelvio Ti Lusso, and the $47,295 Stelvio Ti Sport. All of these come with the 2.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-four engine too. However, there will be differences between the European-spec model and the U.S.-spec ones.
2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Italia
Introduced in 2013 as the company’s first true-blue sports car in decades, the Alfa Romeo 4C soldiered on into 2019 with almost no upgrades. At the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, the Italian company launched the 4C Spider Italia, a limited-edition roadster with a handful of extra features. Although it doesn’t stray far from the regular model, it confirms that the 4C Spider will remain in production for the 2020 model year.
With the Coupe discontinued at the end of 2018, the Spider remains in dealerships for at least one more year, but the Italia is far from special. Finished in an exclusive paint and fitted with custom graphics and badges, it’s just a poor attempt to keep this bare-bones sports car appealing among newer products. Is it worth getting one? Let’s find out below.
The 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Italia is Good News, Bad News at the Same Time
If you’re a fan of performance cars, the 2019 Chicago Auto Show must be really boring to you. Packed with trucks and special-edition SUVs, you have to dig deep to find some cool sports car in there, and most of them are actually classics. There is an exception worth checking out though: the 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Italia.
A limited-series, special edition version of the familiar roadster, the 4C Spider Italia comes with good and bad news for both Alfa Romeo and sports car enthusiasts.
The 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Italia Is the Best-Looking Debut at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, But Is It Too Little Too Late?
First introduced way back in 2013, the 4C was the first mass-produced Alfa Romeo vehicle for the North American market in the 21st century. And what a comeback - this thing ticks all the boxes when it comes to driving nirvana. Made from carbon fiber and aluminum, the 4C is lightweight, while the exterior dimensions are compact, which combine with the mid-engine drivetrain package to make for some seriously impressive driving dynamics. We love it, but in the six years since its debut, not much has changed, and sales have taken a hit. Now, Alfa is offering a special edition at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show that’s leaving us wondering - is it too little too late?
2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Italia is a final attempt from Alfa to stay relevant
Alfa Romeo showed up at the Chicago Auto Show with the 4C Spider Italia Edition. It’s the same 4C Alfa’s been selling in the U.S. for almost half a decade already, but the novelty is you can now have it in this nice Misano Blue Metallic paint job if you pay $5,000 more on top of the $1,595 destination tax.
The Alfa Romeo 4C was the second car Alfa Romeo brought Stateside after selling almost 100 of its wonderful 8C sports car in both coupe and roadster guise. The 4C is a much more compact version but, in true Alfa tradition, it looks really well and it drives well too. The issue is that the Italians haven’t really been all that interested in trying to refresh the car and, now, the 4C is a pretty but overpriced car that desperately needs a replacement worth of sharing the garage with the Stelvio Quadrifoglio and the Giulia Quadrifoglio.
Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Jeep are Now Skipping the Paris Auto Show Too
The auto show exodus isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Now, three of FCA’s biggest brands have announced their intentions of skipping the 2018 Paris Motor Show. Fiat, Jeep, and Alfa Romeo won’t be in attendance in Paris this coming September, joining a long list of companies that include Lamborghini, BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz that won’t be around when the Paris Motor Show opens its doors.
2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Nero Edizione Package
The Giulia and Stelvio represent two of Alfa Romeo’s most prominent models. The automaker also happens to sell both models here in the U.S. That made it easy for Alfa Romeo to bring a pair of special edition models to the 2018 New York Auto Show, dressing up its sedan and SUV in black trim, slapping “Nero Edizione” badges on both of them, and then offering them as special edition models. And so, here they are, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Nero Edizione and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Nero Edizione.
Alfa Romeo Giulia And Stelvio Get Edgy With Nero Edizione Package
We’ve seen plenty of automakers offer up fresh new special editions through the application of various dark-colored aesthetic touches, and now Alfa Romeo is getting in on the action with a new Nero Edizione Package for its Giulia sports sedan and Stelvio SUV. Upgrades include a slew of new bits and pieces for the exterior, giving the models a bespoke appearance to entice would-be customers.
Continue reading to learn more about the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Nero Edizione Package.
2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupé Competizione
Five years since its introduction, the Alfa Romeo 4C is still alive and kicking. The sports car even got a prime placement at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show courtesy of a pair of special edition models, one of which is called the Alfa Romeo 4C Competizione. The special edition 4C is the recipient of model-specific styling cues that separate it from its standard counterparts. By virtue of its status, only 108 units of the 4C Competizione will be available to the public.

Publication DetailsTitle : Influence of corn oil recovery on life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of corn ethanol and corn oil biodiesel
Publication Date : November 04, 2015
Publication Journal : https://biotechnologyforbiofuels.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13068-015-0350-8
Authors : Z. Wang, J. B. Dunn, J. Han, M. Q. Wang
Corn oil recovery and conversion to biodiesel has been widely adopted at corn ethanol plants recently. The US EPA has projected 2.6 billion liters of biodiesel will be produced from corn oil in 2022. Corn oil biodiesel may qualify for federal renewable identification number (RIN) credits under the Renewable Fuel Standard, as well as for low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity credits under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Because multiple products [ethanol, biodiesel, and distiller’s grain with solubles (DGS)] are produced from one feedstock (corn), however, a careful co-product treatment approach is required to accurately estimate GHG intensities of both ethanol and corn oil biodiesel and to avoid double counting of benefits associated with corn oil biodiesel production.
This study develops four co-product treatment methods: (1) displacement, (2) marginal, (3) hybrid allocation, and (4) process-level energy allocation. Life-cycle GHG emissions for corn oil biodiesel were more sensitive to the choice of co-product allocation method because significantly less corn oil biodiesel is produced than corn ethanol at a dry mill. Corn ethanol life-cycle GHG emissions with the displacement, marginal, and hybrid allocation approaches are similar (61, 62, and 59 g CO2e/MJ, respectively). Although corn ethanol and DGS share upstream farming and conversion burdens in both the hybrid and process-level energy allocation methods, DGS bears a higher burden in the latter because it has lower energy content per selling price as compared to corn ethanol. As a result, with the process-level allocation approach, ethanol’s life-cycle GHG emissions are lower at 46 g CO2e/MJ. Corn oil biodiesel life-cycle GHG emissions from the marginal, hybrid allocation, and process-level energy allocation methods were 14, 59, and 45 g CO2e/MJ, respectively. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to investigate the influence corn oil yield, soy biodiesel, and defatted DGS displacement credits, and energy consumption for corn oil production and corn oil biodiesel production.
This study’s results demonstrate that co-product treatment methodology strongly influences corn oil biodiesel life-cycle GHG emissions and can affect how this fuel is treated under the Renewable Fuel and Low Carbon Fuel Standards.

My Cartoonist Guide - Chapter 1225.1
The birth of a child is a major event for Shen Xin. It can even be said that the birth of a child has changed the lives of Shen Xin and Xi Muhan.
Before, they went home to rest, and when they were free, they could also do some of their own things. After having a child, the two people should always pay attention to the child’s situation. Especially, they are not like other people, such as Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong. Parents can help to take care of it, and now it all depends on both of them.
Fortunately, Yan Fei is there to help, and the two talents are not in a hurry.
“Man·Tao” belongs to the monthly watch, which also gave Shen Xin a certain amount of free time to take care of the children with Xi Muhan.
At this time, Shen Xin’s shortcomings in cooking became prominent, so he could only let the aunt who cook, according to Xi Muhan’s situation, deliberately cook another meal, and sometimes Yan Fei would come to help.
It was because of everyone’s hard work that the arrival of this child did not make Shen Xin and Xi Muhan feel cumbersome, but cherished each other even more.
With the passage of time, “Man·Tao” finally entered the propaganda period. “Comicfuture” and “Young Leap” began to promote “Man·Tao” at the same time.
At first, readers thought that after “dunk” was over, Shen Xin would suspend publication for a year or two, but they didn’t expect that after half a year, they would come up with a new work. The work of this monthly update also made readers doubt it. The most crucial point lies in “Xiyang”.
“Comicfuture” is better. Many readers are familiar with the name “Xiyang”, especially after knowing that Shen Zheng and Xiyang are husband and wife, they are full of expectations for this work, but “Young Leap” is different. Because “Xiyang” has not published works on “Young Leap”, nor has it been serialized on other platforms in District 11, and few people know her.
However, it didn’t take long for “Young Leap” to publish a Weibo adaptation of “Ding Shi”, with Hui Asai as the painting and serializing it on its app. This made it the first time for readers in District 11 to formally understand “Hireland”. Yang”.
“Man·Tao” was officially serialized in the third issue of “Comicfuture” and “Shoun Leap” in April. The 68-page length made many readers feel enjoyable. Cartoonists saw the “Man·Tao” serialization. They also showed surprise.
“Will use cartoonists as the subject? Really… I didn’t expect it.” Ye Hexu held the magazine and shook his head again and again.
“It is said that it will be a kingly cartoon.” Jian Xiaomei added, “A kingly cartoon based on a cartoonist…I haven’t seen it yet. How do you read this cartoon?”
“What do you think?” Ye Hexu rubbed his chin. “Should be praised or not? With Xiaohan’s strength, drawing Wangdao comics should be no problem. “Ding Shi” is Wangdao comics, and the results are good. However, the subject matter is too small. There is a crowd… it feels like “The Soul of the Game”. However, I think the reason why they chose this theme may have a greater practical significance.”
“It is to let readers and people who have no interest in comics understand the comics industry… I don’t know if I will appear in the picture.”
“What does this have to do with you?”
“What do you know? Even if I don’t come out, there are people who use me as a prototype, even as a background board? I hope it is not a villain… No, with my relationship with Teacher Shen, it is definitely not a villain… I just hope to be taller.” Ye Hexu was a little nervous, for fear that Shen Xin would draw him shorter.
“How do you know there will be you?” Jian Xiaomei asked puzzled.
“Isn’t this nonsense? In the comics circle, I have the best relationship with Teacher Shen. If he doesn’t paint me, who else can he paint?”
Jian Xiaomei looked at Ye Hexu who was falling into narcissism, and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
District 11, Uematsuno’s studio.
Uematsuno flipped through “Man·Tao”, and his spirit shone.
“You said a long time ago that Mr. Shen’s new work is about cartoonists. Judging from the first episode, it should be about the comics industry… The first episode pulls out the main line, which is really amazing. Teacher Shen’s painter It’s also great. The switching between the two styles is very skillful… One thing to say, this cartoon can only be drawn by Teacher Shen!”
“Why?” Miyamoto Hiraira asked quickly.
“Because this comic involves different cartoonists, each cartoonist has a different style, which places extremely high demands on the cartoonist’s painter. But Mr. Shen is different. His painter is not limited. From this point of view, Teacher Shen is very suitable for drawing this comic.”
“The subject matter of this comic is too niche, and it is difficult to pose a threat to “The Gate of Eternal Life”.”
“But you also know that this manga will have a great impact on readers and those who yearn for manga artists. Moreover, this manga will be the foundation…Don’t you look forward to his lower manga?”
Miyamoto was very tangled.
It’s impossible to say that you don’t expect it. The magazine needs a high-achieving comic to support the sales of “Young Leap” together with “The Gate of Eternal Life”. If he expects it, he doesn’t want Shen Xin’s lower comics either. It has an impact on “The Gate of Eternal Life”.
After thinking about it, Miyamoto sighed and said nothing.
“The first episode of “Man·Tao” ranks first in “Comicfuture”. In “Young Leap”, although it did not get the first place, it also entered the top three. In short, this is also a good thing for us. A good start.” Wang Wenhong said to Shen Xin with the statistics.
“How about the cartoons of the two teachers, Lu Ning and Su Han?” Shen Xin looked up at Wang Wenhong standing in front of him.
“Fourth place. As you said, readers who like this comic have a high evaluation of it, but readers who do not like this comic have a bad evaluation of it. The polarization is a bit serious, right?” Wang Wenhong Recalled.
Shen Xin had already anticipated this.
The cartoon of two people is called “The World Behind the Door”. It tells the story of three teenagers who have passed through the door to another world. The stories between each other are different in standpoints and beliefs. The series of stories that unfold from this are heavy on the tone .
However, this is Su Han’s first non-reasoning cartoon, and there is still room for improvement in the future, which makes people look forward to.
“After getting the teacher’s recommendation, “Xianyuan” has risen all the way, and now ranks third in “Comicfuture”, and there will be animation production in the future… It may be a very challenging comic.” Wang Wenhong explained again. Tao.
“That’s really looking forward to it, I hope I don’t jump back.” Shen Xin said with joy.
For Guoman, the more capable newcomers, the better.
An industry will have strong vitality only if there is a steady influx of newcomers.
“There is also Yelaoshr. He said on Weibo that the lower part of the comic must show results. Readers are also very concerned about his Weibo.” Yan Fei continued.
Shen Xin shook his head and smiled: “I thought he would be a little more calm when he became a father. Unexpectedly, he still looks the same.”
“Qiuqian’s new work will also be serialized. By the way, the wedding invitations of Lu Yingxue and Qiuqian have also been sent. Will the teacher take time to participate?” Yan Fei asked.
“Go! Anyway, it’s been called leisurely for some time recently. After these two months have passed, it is estimated that I will get busy again.” Shen Xin stretched out.
“Um… Brother Xin, do you already have an idea for the lower part of the comic?” Xi Muhan, who was sitting on the sofa and holding the child, looked at Shen Xin.
“Yes. I probably already have ideas. Next, I need Brother Wang and Sister Yan to polish this work with me. Two of you, the next work, please.” Shen Xin smiled.
Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei looked shocked~www.mtlnovel.com~ their eyes flickered.
Shen Xin’s remarks are also telling them that two people must participate in his lower works.
“What kind of manga is the lower part?” Wang Wenhong asked.
“I also said before that I hope to draw a manga with evil elements and an evil manga with elements. The next one is the first type. As for the name, it’s called “hunterxhunter”, right?” Shen Xin narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
The spring sun shines through the windows into the studio, and the whole studio is full of warmth, just like Shen Xin’s mood at the moment, full of expectations for the future.
Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei smiled at each other, while Xi Muhan hugged the child and looked at Shen Xin with a smile on his face. The happiness in his heart was also overflowing on his face.
The future is really worth looking forward to.
Her, Shen Xin’s, and the children of two others.

When it rains it pours. On the same day UFC President Dana White announced Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson was out of his UFC 153 co-main event with Glover Teixeira, he also confirmed through Twitter UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo is out of his bout with Frankie Edgar.
"Now Aldo is out with foot injury," White Tweeted Tuesday. "Main and co main in the same day!! Another amazing day at the UFC. We have some work to do."
On Saturday, September 8th, Aldo was involved in a minor motorcycle accident in Brazil. UFC President Dana White told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani Aldo's injury forcing him out of his bout with Edgar is related to that incident.
UFC 153 is set for October 13th at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This isn't the first time Aldo was been forced to withdraw from a card due to injury. Initially scheduled to face Josh Grispi at UFC 125, Aldo bowed out after suffering a neck injury.
There is no news as to whether the fight with Edgar will be postponed or if Edgar will receive another opponent.

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie MSP has said Liberal Democrats are naturally repulsed at the Scottish Government’s plans for a super-ID database.
It comes as anti-ID campaign groups joined calls for the Scottish Government to halt plans to develop a national identity register of every person in Scotland.
Mr Rennie made the call after anti-ID card campaigners flagged up the dangers of a current Scottish Government proposal to build a database from health records and share the information with all other government bodies.
Under Scottish Government plans, the NHS Central Register will be expanded. Every person in Scotland will be given a unique number to allow the government to check their use of government services. The population database will be used for everything from whether a person has been treated for cancer to when they want to sign up to membership of the Royal Botanic Gardens.
A similar population register was scrapped when the UK Labour Government’s controversial and expensive plans for ID cards were scrapped in 2010.
Mr Rennie said:
“Liberal Democrats are naturally repulsed at the Scottish Government’s plans for a super-ID database. It would be intrusive, expensive and increase the power of the over-mighty state. Plans for this were rightly scrapped in the UK.
“It relies on a giant identity register keeping track on all of us. It’s a big concern that the Scottish Government is building the skeleton of a national identity register in Scotland. It's a hop, skip and a jump away from a ID card and it needs to be stopped.
“They are planning to take information on people using the health service and allowing access to 120 other organisations.
“Despite the obvious risks to personal freedom, the Scottish Government is yet to conduct the necessary Privacy Impact Assessment. We have no information on how SNP minsters would propose to keep information safe when such a wide range of people would have access to the database. They’ve not even set out the estimate of the costs involved in this massive data expansion.
“The sound and fury of campaign groups at this illiberal shows how much people need the Liberal Democrats to stand up for civil liberties. The Conservatives are campaigning to restart the Snoopers’ Charter at a UK level and are being restrained by the Liberal Democrats. In Scotland, the nationalists are constructing a national identity register by the back door with no assurances of any safeguards for our information. SNP ministers must halt the roll-out of this super ID database.”

Pearson’s Nobel Peace Prize loaned to Canadian Museum of HistoryNovember 25, 2016
For immediate release
Gatineau, Quebec, November 25, 2016 — The Canadian Museum of History is pleased to announce that Lester B. Pearson’s 1957 Nobel Peace Prize medal will be displayed in the Museum’s new Canadian History Hall, set to open in July 2017. The medal will be on long-term loan to the Museum from Global Affairs Canada, with the support of Lester B. Pearson’s family.
“The Canadian Museum of History is very grateful to the Pearson family and Global Affairs Canada for the loan of this important piece of history,” said Mark O’Neill, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Museum. “The medal is a formidable addition to our new Hall, in the section telling the story of Canada in the world since 1945. His Nobel Prize represents an iconic achievement in world peace by an extraordinary Canadian.”
“At Global Affairs Canada we were honoured to be the custodian of this important symbol of peace. It is a significant reminder of Lester B. Pearson’s legacy as we work to continue to advance Canadian efforts to make the world a better, more just and safer place,” said the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ian Shugart. “We are proud to share this symbol with all Canadians as we offer the extended loan of his Nobel Peace Prize Medal to be seen by all visitors to the Canadian Museum of History in 2017.”
“The Pearson family is delighted that the Nobel Peace Prize medal will soon be on display at the Canadian Museum of History where so many more young people will be able to see it, to reflect on what ‘peace’ means and what role they may play in securing it throughout the world,” said the Honourable Landon Pearson, OC, the daughter-in-law of Lester B. Pearson.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to individuals for outstanding contributions in peace. The award has been presented 97 times. Past recipients include Martin Luther King Jr. and Malala Yousafzai. Pearson, Canada’s 14th prime minister, is the first and only Canadian individual so honoured.
Pearson received the award for his role in helping to resolve the Suez crisis in 1956. Great Britain, France and Israel had attacked Egypt in an effort to regain control of the Suez Canal and remove President Gamal Abdel Nasser, an action that divided the Western alliance, angered the Soviet Union and threatened the outbreak of a major war in the Middle East. Pearson, then Canada’s Secretary of State for External Affairs, successfully argued for the deployment of a United Nations Emergency Force to the region defusing the immediate crisis.
Pearson’s medal will be displayed in Gallery 3 of the new Canadian History Hall. The gallery explores the years after 1914 and will include the story of how Canada became a significant international player after 1945. The 40,000 square foot Hall, which traces Canada’s history from the dawn of human habitation to the present day, will open on July 1, 2017 for the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
Located on the shores of the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec, the Canadian Museum of History attracts over 1.2 million visitors each year. The Museum’s principal role is to enhance Canadians’ knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the events, experiences, people and objects that have shaped Canada’s history and identity, as well as to enhance Canadians’ awareness of world history and culture. Work of the Canadian Museum of History is made possible in part through financial support of the Government of Canada.

A family from New Jersey is begging for help to find their stolen dog after he was taken and held for ransom.
The 14-month-old Maltese named 'Angelo' was taken from a truck in the Bronx last Thursday.
Just a little while later, Angelo's owner, Sidulfo Irribarra says he got a call from someone demanding $200 in exchange for the dog's return.
When the person holding Angelo never called back, Irribarra called the police.
Angelo's owners are asking anyone with information to contact them at (917) 208-4997.

In the fall of 1987, in a little diner in Somerville, New Jersey, two Vietnam veterans met to discuss their personal concerns about the prisoners of war (POW's) and military service personnel missing in action (MIA's) from the Vietnam War. Having honorably served their country, and having taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies..." and to "...bear true faith and allegiance to the same," they were dismayed at how their brothers were left behind in captivity by the very leaders who sent them into battle brothers who fought for America's freedoms who then found themselves alone without anyone to fight for them. These two veterans discussed the more than 10,000 reported sightings of live Americans living in dismal captivity which intelligence reports were generally ignored by the government and mainstream media. Those two veterans were Artie Muller and Ray Manzo.
The era of the Vietnam War was a dark time in our nation's history. The country became divided over issues of peace and war, and a distrust of government grew. In the years following, patriotism continued to wane as apathy and complacency set in. It was unfathomable for most that a civilized government such as the United States could knowingly leave their sons behind at the mercy of their cruel captors, or erroneously "kill on paper" those classified as MIA. Any talk of the government's failure to positively identify the remains of those killed or missing in action by deceptively returning misidentified bones to unsuspecting families only sounded of paranoia to most. It seemed that everyone wanted to ignore the facts and forget our heroes. That is, except for Artie and Ray.
The First Rolling Thunder Demonstration
Artie and Ray were ordinary men who understood they had a right to have their voices heard, so they proceeded to lay down the plans for a demonstration at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. during the 1988 Memorial Day weekend. They reached out to their families, fellow veterans and veterans' advocates to unify and form a march and demonstration in the nation's Capitol. They would announce their arrival with the roar of their Harley Davidsons, a sound not unlike the 1965 bombing campaign against North Vietnam dubbed Operation Rolling Thunder. So they would call themselves "Rolling Thunder," a title that would endure time and be trademarked in 1990. Word spread quickly and by Memorial Day weekend in 1988, approximately 2500 motorcycles from all over the country converged on Washington, D.C. to demand from our leaders a full accounting of all POW/MIA's. As they made their stand that day in front of the Capitol, Artie and Ray reflected on what they had accomplished that day and the support they received from their friends and other compatriots-in-kind who came to support the cause. This was Rolling Thunder's first demonstration, and only until all POW/MIA's are accounted for, it would not be their last. On that day, the foundation was laid for the annual "Ride for Freedom" to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall (also referred to as the "Ride to the Wall").
Ordinary individuals created an extraordinary unity that would only gain strength with time. The commendable efforts of Rolling Thunder have brought them into the 21st Century. Since the first demonstration, Rolling Thunder has been actively involved in the POW/MIA cause relating to wars and conflicts subsequent to the Vietnam War. After the horrific September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America and the War in Iraq, Rolling Thunder will continue to work to ensure that all future service personnel are accounted for. With well over 2000 MIA/POW's from the Vietnam War, 41 from the 1991 Persian Gulf War, 14 from the Bosnia conflict, and those unaccounted for from other military operations and the War in Iran, their mission is sadly far from over.
Rolling Thunder Today
Rolling Thunder's increased notoriety has not been without its consequences and critics. Since motorcycles have become synonymous with the Rolling Thunder name, it has created a misconception of the organization's true objectives and purpose, and has sometimes overshadowed their many accomplishments and contributions to veterans and our communities. For those who know and support Rolling Thunder, they are keenly aware that the organization's advocacy of the POW/MIA issue does not begin and end each year with Memorial Day weekend. Rolling Thunder members are active year-round promoting legislation to increase veteran benefits and resolve the POW/MIA issue from all wars, and their generosity of time, food, and clothing to veterans and their local communities is continuous throughout the year (see, Fact Sheet).
Non-Profit Status & Membership
Rolling Thunder was incorporated as a class 501 C-4 non-profit organization in 1995, and is headquartered in New Jersey. Today, the organization has over 7,000 members throughout the United States, with a few in Canada, Australia and Europe. There are over 50 chartered Rolling Thunder chapters in the continental United States, and the numbers continually grow. The Rolling Thunder membership is comprised of veterans from all wars and times of peace. Their veteran members have earned such distinctions as the Medal of Honor, Medal of Valor, Bronze Star, Silver Star, Purple Heart, and others. Their membership also consists of non-veteran advocates of all ages, generations and backgrounds. Rolling Thunder also teaches the values of patriotism and community service to its youth. The National Chapter of Rolling Thunder has almost 80 junior members (ages 18 and under) who actively participate in visits to the local VA hospital, food and clothing collection for homeless veterans, and fundraising.
Constitution and By-Laws
The Constitution and By-laws of the organization strictly govern the chapters, with committee members working on issues that include Government Affairs for the POW/MIA issue, Gulf War and Korean War Affairs, Veterans/Community Assistance, School Education, and overall public awareness of the POW/MIA issue and veterans' needs. The Constitution prohibits alcoholic beverages at any Rolling Thunder sanctioned event, and violators could be subject to retraction of membership and even the dissolution of a chapter.
Skeptics of the POW/MIA cause say that any efforts to retrieve POW's are in vain. Some government officials feel it is senseless to risk the lives of soldiers to search for "old bones," as one senior military official put it when responding to a proposal to conduct a search and rescue of Lt. Commander Michael "Scott" Speicher (USN), the first casualty of the 1991 Persian Gulf War. When Scott's plane crashed in 1991, he was assumed dead and classified as KIA. He was "killed on paper." Years later, convincing evidence revealed Scott survived the crash, and in an unprecedented move in 2001, 10 years after Scott's plane went down, the U.S. Navy reclassified Scott from KIA to MIA, then more recently to POW as evidence of his survival and captivity in Baghdad grew. Again, people found it hard to believe that we would leave a son or daughter behind, but it happened. Unfortunately Scott's story is not unique, as there are many others from past wars who suffered the same heartbreaking fate as Scott, and there is convincing evidence that some POW's from Vietnam are alive today and even possibly from the Korean War. Is Scott still alive in 2003? We don't know, but just because we don't know doesn't mean we forget about him, or forget about the others whose status remains MIA or POW. It's easy to just go on with our lives and not think of those poor souls left behind, but we can't forget. If it were your husband or wife, brother, daughter, son or friend, would you forget? Could you forget? Scott's tragedy validates Rolling Thunder's position on the POW/MIA issue, and further strengthens their mission statement that vows "...to publicize the POW/MIA issue, educate the public that many American prisoners of war were left behind after all past wars, help correct the past and to protect future veterans from being left behind should they become prisoners of war or missing in action, and secondly to help American veterans from all wars." Rolling Thunder will continue to fight for the timely return of all POW's and the continued investigation into the fate of all MIA's. from all wars. Rolling Thunder passionately follows the Army Ranger Creed that vows: "I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy..." Rolling Thunder will continue to grow and gain strength as long as even one person remains unaccounted for.

Engineers have always thought about a solution that would extend the life span of their equipment. Preventive Maintenance (PM) is one of the most effective solutions. However, many considerations should be taken into account to perform it successfully. For example, factors such as probability of system operating normally (availability), probability of system being down for PM and probability of system failure. Also, selecting right time to do the PM works is a main concern. Besides, PM activities can improve reliability of certain equipment. This study uses the Feed Pump (FP) of a typical Hydrosulfurization (HDS) plant as an application. The main goal of this project is improving the effectiveness of PM. Therefore, the author have investigated in literature and found a suitable model. Each time one of the model input variables changes, while the remaining input rates are constant. The probabilities at normal conditions and steady state are calculated. In addition, reliability is determined using different model, which requires the failure rate values. The results indicate that the earlier PM is performed, the better.
