The PAS Xtreme Mass Air Sensor can be used in two ways. 1) As a direct replacement for the original sensor used in all 2005 and up Ford products. The PAS Xtreme Mass Air Sensor has three times more range than the stock sensor, and over 30 percent more range than our competitors product. The sensors extended range allows it to be used with engines with as much as 800 flywheel horsepower, while still using the stock air cleaner box. This sensor absolutely will not peg, yet still has excellent resolution. Tuning is required, and a 30 point transfer function sheet is provided with each sensor. 2) As an addition to fabricated ducting. Due to its design, this sensor can easily be added to any piece of existing ducting. It can be used in both "blow through" and "draw through" applications, and has over 30 percent more range than our competitor's product. The sensor is calibrated so that its range just slightly exceeds that of the ducting in which it is installed. This means that the sensor cannot peg, yet still has excellent resolution. Tuning is required, and a 30 point transfer function sheet is included. The transfer function sheet shows the transfer function that the sensor will have in whatever diameter duct you've chosen. It will support up to 800hp in a 3" diameter tube, up to 1100hp in a 3.5 diameter tube, and up to 1500hp in a 4" diameter tube. Sorry, no returns on any tunes or electronic equipment.
Please specify steel or aluminum flange.

This week, we’re looking at Conturelle bras; some of the most beautiful and well-designed bras that we offer here at Big Girls’ Bras. Conturelle bras do have a higher price point than some of our other bra lines, but there’s a reason for that: the Conturelle brand is synonymous with quality, and what you get in a Conturelle bra is a really thoughtfully-designed, high-quality, beautiful garment. What sets Conturelle bras apart from other brands, and justifies the higher price point? This is everything you need to know about what makes Conturelle fabulous:
Quality, Quality, Quality
One of the most important things to know about a Conturelle bra, and one of the reasons their reputation is so well-known and respected around the world, is that Conturelle places a high premium on quality. Conturelle does not use the cheapest materials or cut corners to produce an inexpensive product.
Instead, they use high-quality, custom fabrics, nickel-free underwires, and thoughtful design details to ensure that the Conturelle bras you know and love are always of the highest quality. Conturelle would not hesitate to return an entire batch of custom fabric; thousands and thousands of yards; if it did not meet their quality requirements. This is a very important element of what you get when you buy a Conturelle bra.
Conturelle is very hands-on when it comes to quality
Conturelle has a vision when it comes to bras, and this vision includes specially-developed, custom fabrics. Conturelle fabrics have to look fabulous, and feel comfortable and soft against the skin. They use several techniques to get the effect they want in their fabrics, and it pays off in the soft, luxurious feel of these bras.
Beautiful, Multi-Tonal Embroidery
Almost all of Conturelle’s bras include feminine, multi-tonal embroidery embellishment on the bra cup or straps. The embroidery on Conturelle bras ranges from two colors up to four or five colors, depending on the bra. This embroidery adds beautiful detailing to the bra, but the more embroidery and the more colors in the embroidery, the more the bra costs to produce.
Conturelle's multi-tonal embroidery adds beauty and depth to the finished bras
Embellishment for Beautiful, Feminine Bras
Conturelle bras are known for three things: their quality, their comfort and their beauty. While Conturelle offers bra designs ranging from simple to exquisitely detailed, almost all of their bras feature unique, feminine embellishment. You’ll typically see embellishment on the bra straps; often lace on the bra cups; and the embellishment that Conturelle includes is unique, rather than following the same tired standards used in bra design throughout the industry. If you’re looking for a truly beautiful, feminine bra, the embellishment that Conturelle provides offers this in an elegant, sophisticated style.
Embellishment and feminine details are integral to Conturelle bras
Exquisite Attention to Detail
The attention to detail on a Conturelle bra makes it really stand out compared to other bra lines. Conturelle has designed its bra straps with a special material that makes it less likely to slide off your shoulders. It uses nickel-free underwires to avoid causing rashes in women who have allergies. It wraps the hook-and-eye fasteners in most of its bras with a soft-to-the-touch microfiber to make the bra band more comfortable against the skin. These little details add more to the price, but they really make Conturelle stand out among other bra options.
Dying to learn more? Tomorrow we’ll be examining the intricate details that Conturelle weaves into its bra designs to enhance comfort, fit and fashion. By the end of the week, you’ll be asking yourself why you don’t already own a closet full of Conturelle bras!

Don't Walk Alone : Understanding the Divine Gift of Connection while Navigating Shame
Author: Erika Nordfelt
We are not meant to go through this life alone. It is our relationships and our capacity for connection that set us apart from the rest of God's creations. The energy of God connects all living things, and by emulating that loving energy, we can be invigorated in our connections with ourselves and our brothers and sisters on earth.
With vulnerability and authenticity, author and Clinical Psychotherapist Erika Nordfelt shares the story of her evolving relationship with connection and deity and how she grew as a person by strengthening her connections with the people in her life. Through personal anecdotes, evidence based therapy methods, and teachings from spiritual thought leaders, this book will help you
Better understand and connect with yourself.
Overcome the shame and perfectionism that prevents you from seeking and maintaining meaningful relationships.
Take steps toward better connections with thought exercises and mindful practices.
Learn how to love others unconditionally without sacrificing your personal boundaries.
We can be lifted and changed by connection. We can find deeper meaning in our experiences when we seek to understand our emotions, cultivate more compassion for ourselves and others, and allow for more vulnerable and authentic relationships.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man who allegedly assaulted a police officer.

He was due to appear at Boston Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, August 9 but failed to make an appearance.

The officer said she was not badly hurt in the incident - she later said: "Thanks for concerns. Nothing serious thankfully" - but there has been a shocked reaction to the incident which was filmed by passers-by.

BBC to challenge antivaxers in reality show
The BBC is planning to bring a group of Covid vaccine sceptics together under one roof and use science to challenge their views as part of a social experiment documentary.
The broadcaster dipped its toe into the same waters two weeks ago by inviting sceptics to be in the audience on Question Time and is now going further with a film dedicated to the subject.
It is understood that a diverse group who have refused the vaccine will live together for a period, during which the documentary will explore their views on the jab and their misconceptions about its origins and side effects.
The participants will be presented with evidence about the safety and success of the vaccine to see if they will soften their

I recently learned that, Maisie Hitchcock, a guide on a Rick Steves tour of Switzerland I took in 2018 died peacefully of ovarian cancer on August 9, 2023 in the company of her family.
Maisie was a kind, gentle guide who did an excellent job showing us the highlights of Switzerland. Although she was English, she lived in Berlin and spoke fluent German.
Maisie enjoyed people and knew how to relate to each person as an individual. Maisie’s father, Robyn Hitchcock, is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He wrote a loving memory of his daughter on Instagram.
During that 2018 trip, my suitcase broke and I asked Maisie where I could buy a new bag. Maisie helpfully sent me to Manor in Lugano where I bought a bag that I continue to use on my travels.
You can see the photographs I made of Switzerland on the trip Maisie so ably guided on my photography website.
May Maisie’s memory be a blessing for many years to come.

In the last few days we have seen acts of violence against the Afghan people and those who are working along with them to rebuild this country.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) is deeply shocked at the explosion yesterday in a popular Kandahar market which left several bystanders injured. He is also dismayed at the attack on Thursday against a convoy of the Afghan Central Statistics Office, which killed a driver and wounded ten others working for the Statistics Office at Baca district in Farah province.
These are utterly condemnable criminal acts and the perpetrators have no justification for attacking innocent people. Afghanistan is on the path of reconstruction and Afghans, their government and their international partners will not be deterred by these despicable acts.
The Special Representative sends his deepest condolences to family and friends of the Government worker killed and prays forth prompt recovery of those who were wounded in the attacks.
In a separate development, the Special Representative and the UN family in Afghanistan have been profoundly distressed at the news that nine children were killed Saturday in Ghazi as a result of coalition military action. The Special Representative, on behalf of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, expresses our deepest felt condolences to the families of these nine children.
The protection of civilians is an obligation that must be observed by all. This incident, which follows similar incidents, adds to the sense of insecurity and fear in the country.
The Special Representative takes note of the coalition announcement that they have begun an investigation. He urges such inquiry to be swift and its results made public. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General hopes that lesson will be learned from this episode so it is not repeated.
[Following the briefing, the Spokesman learned that out of the ten wounded as a result of the attack on the convoy of the Afghan Central Statistics Office, another has died and a third is in critical condition.]

Bollywood always succeeds in satisfying moviegoers’ obsession with beautiful cities in India, Varanasi being one of them. Shot in the majestic parts of Varanasi, Chandra Prakash Dwivedi’s upcoming film Mohalla Assi will not only show us the beautiful ghats, culture and firangs but also unfold the dark secrets about the city.
In the recently leaked trailer of the film, the glimpses of the city’s ugly side and secrets can’t be missed. Bollywood satirical drama film will show us Sunny Deol and Sakshi Tanwar in never-seen-before character.
Apart from the dramatic introduction, loud dialogues caught our major attention. Yes, we see Sunny and Sakshi cussing like a pro without even batting an eye. The cussing surely is shocking but seems quit relevant if taken into consideration the motives of the film, which is to bring forth the dirty secrets of Varanasi.
Every character in the film seems very real and unapologetic for being bright and on the edge. With this dialogue, “Bina gaali ke yahan pyaar aur aashirwad ka len-den hota hai kya?”it became quite inevitable that this indeed was just a glimpse of what’s in store for the audiences.
Sunny Deol, who plays the role of a middle class Sanskrit teacher and a Pundit who holds a firm believe in religion, starts and ends his day with a cuss word. However, we liked the aura that the film’s trailer brings forth. Right from the beginning, till the every end, Moshalla Assi’s message is loud and clear.
Yes, film will tell us the hidden twisted and dark secrets of Assi Ghat, a famous ghat in Varanasi, Banaras and what lies behind the hidden mask of fake gurus and expose how their agenda of luring foreigners plays out.
In all this commercialization of the holy city, we see Sunny Deol standing firmly on his beliefs and ideologies with his powerful dialogue,“Hum ghaat ko picnic spot aur Ganga ko swimming pool nahi hone denge.”
With a touch of cuss words, fake babas, spirituality and firangs, the package Mohalla Assi by director Chandra Prakash Dwivedi looks quite promising. Apart from Sunny Deol and Sakshi Tanwar, the film also stars Ravi Krishan, Saurabh Shukla, Mukesh Tiwari and Rajendra Gupta. Mohalla Assi will hit the theatres by the end of 2015.

As the Reading Clerk of the Arkansas State Senate I witnessed the couple now known as the Clintons enter the Governor’s Mansion in Arkansas. At the time Hillary was Hillary Rodham. It was much later after the youngest Governor in history lost his re-election bid and became the youngest Ex-Governor in history that Hillary became Hillary Clinton.
This name change along with a new daughter brought the Clintons to a place of family in the eyes of Arkansans. Now Hillary and Bill are grandparents and Hillary is again running for office. The story is the same but different. Very similar but is it by design. The truth is if the story is successful why not continue with it similarities but with a little change here and there.
Actually this is nothing new. It has been done in literature, movies and songs. Why not politics?
Finding that winning formula and putting your twist on it works. Singer songwriter Garth Brooks spoke of his great love for the song Mrs. Robinson. Brooks wanted his own Mrs. Robinson so he wrote That Summer which is about a young man enticed by an older woman while working on her farm one summer. Singer songwriter Paul Janeway of St Paul and The Broken Bones did the same. Janeway was asked by David Letterman about his song Call Me. Janeway said he had always liked Wilson Pickett’s “634-5789” and wanted a song with a phone number in it. So he wrote Call Me.
The same is true for literature. Themes of love, hatred, overcoming hardship and the like are repeated. The repetition is so evident today that when you go online and buy a book, CD or movie it is immediately noted. You are then offered similar items when you are told, if you bought or liked this, you would probably like this. Marketing has now recognized and is using the very thing authors, songwriters and movie makers have known for years.
The truth is some can tell the same story but better. Some can sing the same song but better. The same is true for movies. Some can make the same movie but better. Who is to say you couldn’t do the same. Think of your favorite story and how you may make it better. What could you do to bring it up to date? Using the theme but making it modern, digital and relative to today. It is possible and if it has a great theme will be done.
The question is who will do it? Or even a better question may be, “Who better than you?” You may be the one to write the next theme concerning “Hillary Clinton Returns”.

A ban on partial-birth abortions could be on President Bush’s desk by as early as next week, after a conference committee yesterday finished with the bill and sent it to be cleared by both chambers.
President Clinton twice vetoed a similar ban — in April 1996 and October 1997.
“After two presidential vetoes, this ban will finally become law and the performance of this barbaric procedure will come to an end,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., Wisconsin Republican and member of the House-Senate conference committee.
The House is expected to clear the legislation this week and the Senate could do the same, though the bill’s supporters say Democratic senators could delay the inevitable by demanding hours of floor debate before a final vote.
The conference committee approved the bill yesterday in two party-line votes. House conferees voted 3-2 for the measure. Senate conferees also voted 3-2 to approve it. All Republicans supported the bill; all Democrats opposed it.
Most notably, the bill approved by the conference left out language inserted into the Senate version that would have expressed support for Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that struck down state laws against abortion.
Republicans defeated an attempt by Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat and conference panel member, to add back that language, which was sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, Iowa Democrat.
“I worry with this language out … what we’re saying to American women is ‘your health doesn’t matter,’” said Mrs. Boxer, who thinks the bill is unconstitutional.
The legislation would ban partial-birth abortions, except when necessary to save the life of the mother. In a partial-birth abortion — also known as dilation and extraction — the baby is partially delivered before its skull is pierced and its brain extracted.
Pro-choice groups plan to challenge the legislation in court immediately after the president signs it. They, along with some Democrats, say it is as unconstitutional as a Nebraska ban the Supreme Court struck down in 2000 because the procedure is too broadly defined and would not allow a partial-birth abortion to protect the mother’s health.
“I wonder why we are bothering passing a bill that is so clearly unconstitutional,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat and conference member, said yesterday.
Ban supporters said those issues are addressed in the current legislation, in part by providing a more precise definition of the procedure.
The legislation does not include a “health exception,” but instead includes a lengthy “findings” section, stating that medical evidence presented in congressional hearings showed partial-birth abortion poses serious risks to women’s health, is never medically needed and is outside the standards of medical care.
Democrats on the conference panel tried twice yesterday to create a “health exception” to the ban, but Republicans defeated them in two sets of party-line votes.
Rep. Steve Chabot, Ohio Republican and conference member, said abortionists have stated publicly that any pregnancy is a threat to a woman’s health. He said that if the bill were to contain a health exception it would amount to a “phony ban,” and doctors would be able to continue performing partial-birth abortions unfettered.
In March, a bipartisan group of 17 senators voted in favor of both Mr. Harkin’s Roe v. Wade language and the Senate bill, which passed the Senate 64-33. The question is whether some of those senators will switch and oppose the final bill now that the Harkin language is not included.
Supporters of the ban doubt that will happen.
“I don’t know anyone who supported the bill because of the Harkin language, so I don’t anticipate any diminution of the vote,” said bill sponsor Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican.
Even opponents, including Mrs. Boxer, have said they expect the legislation to clear both chambers and go to the president.
The only thing Democratic opponents could do is delay a final vote in the Senate until after the upcoming weeklong break by demanding several hours of debate on the bill, said one pro-life lobbyist.
Mr. Santorum said he expects Mrs. Boxer to demand a lengthy floor debate. He predicted the Senate will wait until after the upcoming break to take up the bill.

Thank you, Guillermo Mota.
With the Dodgers holding baseball’s best record and a widening chasm between sunny Chavez Ravine and the San Francisco Bay, with the Manny Ramirez fiasco turning into a routine fly ball and those trade-bait pitchers remaining on other teams, we’ve been in danger of slipping into cruise control until the playoffs.
Then along comes anger, redemption and a harking back to one of baseball’s great traditions: A fastball in the rump for a slider in the elbow. In this age of over-hype, let’s just call this the Great Beanball War of 2009.
It all began Tuesday, the Dodgers against the middling Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers kept stacking up runs; 17 of them, nearly a record. Along the way, in the seventh inning, the game already a formality, Ramirez trudged to the plate. A pitch came close, too close. It hit him, though not exactly hard.
Nobody could be surprised about what happened next. The Dodgers are still scarred by last year’s playoffs. By the gnashing of teeth over Chad Billingsley’s unwillingness to bust the Philadelphia Phillies in the chops after seemingly the entire roster of Dodgers’ hitters spent a disastrous Game 2 of the National League Championship Series bailing to the dirt, chased by fastballs.
So Tuesday, Mota proved a point: This time the Dodgers ain’t no chumps! In the ninth inning, Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder gets plunked by a Mota pitch in his ample backside.
But then after the game Fielder goes all MMA on us. He charges the Dodgers’ clubhouse. He yells and screams just a few paces from the Dodgers’ lockers, threatening to turn Mota into mincemeat. Never mind that he wouldn’t have gotten far, because Matt Kemp’s locker would be the first one he had to pass.
This was great entertainment, great theater, great posturing. This was a slice of chippy baseball tradition.
It delivered a nice jolt. On Wednesday at Chavez Ravine, you could feel the hum of a stadium electric with anticipation. What was going to happen? Would there be more inside nastiness and outsized anger? Would there be some sort of baseball beatdown?
If we’re to aspire to being a polite society, there’s probably no place in the game for hitting a guy with a pitch, even in his back pocket. We could go back and forth for hours on just this.
Back and forth with talk of how Don Drysdale and Bob Gibson never met an opponent they didn’t try to tattoo in the ribs. How, when men were men, hitters would get hit and never take offense. Now, say the old-timers, these modern ballplayers, why they’re just a bunch of overly sensitive pansies. Ready to charge the mound, if they are hit by even the shadow of a pitch.
The fans however don’t care. What they want is what they got Wednesday. Jason Schmidt throws a pitch that flies slightly inside, and the whole stadium goes “Whoa!”
On edge, everyone in the stadium leans forward in their seats, ready to see some pushing and shoving, maybe some headlocks and fists.
There was certainly plenty of tension Wednesday, even though before the game both teams tended to speak in code.
Mota wondered what all the fuss was about: wink, wink. Joe Torre gleamed when speaking about Gibson, of course.
Russell Martin was the one Dodger who didn’t talk like a politician. Before the game, he stood in front of a phalanx of security and a swarm of reporters. “You don’t want to be a team that is easily intimidated,” he said.
Tuesday’s plunk of Fielder and the resulting mayhem “proves a point.” We ain’t no chumps!
Obviously thinking of the lack of retribution against the Phillies, Martin said: “We don’t want to make the same mistake twice.”
Meantime, when Brewers Manager Ken Macha spoke, he blamed the whole thing on the Dodgers and firmly accused Mota of trying to hurt his man.
“He hit him in the butt,” a reporter said. “Isn’t that fair game?”
Countered a fuming Macha: “What if he hit him in the elbow or the kneecap?”
Nothing much happened in Wednesday’s game. There were no fastballs to the ribs or players tossed, not with all of baseball’s code enforcers on high alert. But at least a game that otherwise would have been just a footnote in a series of footnotes, became a happening.
It woke the fans. Despite the 4-1 loss, it hopefully woke the Dodgers. They recently lumbered. Maybe this sparks a return to form later in the week. Maybe it helps shore up their identity, still fragile after Philadelphia.
Maybe it serves as some symbolic message: Chad Billingsley, come playoff time, do as Mota does.
We won’t know until October if this tough-guy identity will hold. But for one night in this slumbering stretch of the season, it was nice to have a little jolt.
Thank you, Guillermo.

Essentially, these orchids needs regular water and orchid fertilizer all spring and summer, with very limited water and no fertilizer after October. I put little signs on my orchids to remind myself of this. "Don't water me". It also helps to have the plants in a cooler location for a month in the fall season. Mine are in a heated greenhouse, where temperatures drop to 14 degrees C (57 degrees F) at night. I previously have had success placing them near a large and poorly-sealed window in an older house. A bay window or sunroom might work for this purpose.
Within a few months, small round buds appear along the length of the stems. If you fertilize at this point, the buds grow into tiny plants, complete with roots, if you leave them long enough. These are keikis and can sliced off the mother plant and be potted up as new plants.
|Keiki on my Dendrobium|
|Dendrobium nobile "Angel Smile" in bloom, February 23, 2016|
This orchid likes bright light and tolerates cool to quite warm temperatures in the greenhouse. I give mine supplemental pinkish LED light in the greenhouse (which makes up for our short winter days). However, I have grown these before in a bright sunny indoor spot too, so you don't need a greenhouse. Generally, I think this orchid is quite easy to grow. It is a pity they are not often sold at local garden stores.

PSR J1311–3430 is a pulsar with a spin period of 2.5 milliseconds. It is the first millisecond pulsar found via gamma-ray pulsations. The source was originally identified by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope as a bright gamma ray source, but was not recognized as a pulsar until observations with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered pulsed gamma ray emission. The pulsar has a helium-dominated companion much less massive than itself, and the two are in an orbit with a period of 93.8 minutes. The system is explained by a model where mass from the low mass companion was transferred on to the pulsar, increasing the mass of the pulsar and decreasing its period. These systems are known as Black Widow Pulsars, named after the original such system discovered, PSR B1957+20, and may eventually lead to the companion being completely vaporized. Among systems like these, the orbital period of PSR J1311–3430 is the shortest ever found. Spectroscopic observations of the companion suggest that the mass of the pulsar is 2.7 [math]M_\odot[/math] (solar masses). Though there is considerable uncertainty in this estimate, the minimum mass for the pulsar that the authors find adequately fits the data is 2.15 [math]M_\odot[/math], which is still more massive than PSR J1614−2230, the previous record holder for most massive known pulsar.
Discovery and observations
The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi), the successor to EGRET, both performed surveys of the sky for gamma ray emission. The telescopes observed emission on large scales in the sky, associated with emission from the Milky Way, as well as "point" sources, so named because they are smaller than the angular resolution of the telescopes. Some point sources detected by EGRET and Fermi were at the same locations as previously known objects from observations at other wavelengths, and included astrophysical sources such as pulsars and active galactic nuclei. Other point sources, however, remained a mystery, as they had no known counterpart at other wavelengths. One such unidentified source was 2FGL J1317.7–3429 (so named because it was in a catalog of Fermi sources, with the J1317.7–3429 designating its position in the sky in right ascension and declination).
In an effort to detect a new origin of gamma-ray emission, Roger Romani performed a deep search for counterparts of the brightest unidentified gamma-ray sources. His search uncovered optical and X-ray emission at the same location as 2FGL J1317.7–3429 that changed amplitude with a period of roughly 1.5 hours, and suggested that the origin could be a millisecond pulsar in a black-widow-type system, but also noted that this would need to be confirmed by the discovery of pulsations in the gamma-ray data or at radio wavelengths.
Within a few months, this conjecture was confirmed. A blind search of more than four years of Fermi data, led by Holger Pletsch, revealed that 2FGL J1317.7–3429 was a millisecond pulsar with a 2.5 millisecond period, the first example of a millisecond pulsar detected via gamma-ray pulsations. With the discovery of the pulsations, it was named PSR J1311–3430, with "PSR" denoting pulsar. Follow-up radio observations were able to also detect intermittent radio pulsations with the Green Bank Telescope that were only visible for <10% of the time the source was observed. The authors suggested that the pulses could be eclipsed or scattered by material in the system.
The detection and timing of the gamma ray pulsations was used to determine the spin period of the pulsar to be 2.5 milliseconds. The presence of the companion to the pulsar causes very slight variations in the time at which these pulses appear to be emitted, meaning precise timing allows the minimum mass of the companion to be determined using Kepler's third law. The minimum mass found with this method is 8.2 x 10−3 [math]M_\odot[/math], or roughly 8 times the mass of Jupiter. Optical spectroscopy of this companion reveal that it is composed primarily of helium, with no hydrogen detected. Variations in the optical brightness reveal large temperature variations in the companion. Modeling of the variations indicate strong heating of the companion by the pulsar, and that the companion nearly fills its Roche lobe. An object that overflows its Roche lobe will lose mass to its more massive companion. Such a scenario is used to explain how the companion in this system, once likely a star, lost so much mass to become a planet massed object. The accretion of this material also explains the "spin-up" of the millisecond pulsar, so that it can have such a short rotational period. It is possible that PSR J1311–3430 will eventually completely vaporize its companion, and become a solitary millisecond pulsar.
The identification of a millisecond pulsar via a blind search of gamma-ray data alone provides hope that other gamma-ray sources with unknown origin can be identified as millisecond pulsars, especially given that radio pulses from PSR J1311–3430 were detected less than 10% of the time observed. Among known black-widow-type binary pulsar systems, PSR J1311–3430 has the shortest orbital period, and a mass constrained to be larger than 2.1 [math]M_\odot[/math]. This mass determination for the pulsar supports the existing notion that these systems are hosts to pulsars with large masses, and also provides constraints on the equation of state for neutron stars, strongly favoring "stiff" equations of state.

It seems that Intel is planning to expand its market, and speaking of which, today we have few tablets that will use Intel’s processors, so let’s examine them more closely.
Chromebooks are popular devices, and if you’re planning to purchase one, you should know that HP has announced its new Chromebook device that might be just what you need.
There is variety of smartphones on the market, but if you’re looking for a smartphone with Intel’s processor, you should definitely check out today’s model.
Check out the quick hands on video below thanks to the folks at IntoMobile. The LG Optimus 2X is the first Android smartphone to come with a dual-core processor – boasting NVIDIA’s 1GHz Tegra 2 chipset.
Recently we were talking about the never ending processor war and here we have Samsung pushing in a totally new processor which will leave every geek jumping once the specifications are read out loud! The 3D graphics functionality of the new Orion is supposed to be five times that of other processors previously launched by Samsung. Well, I am not sure if having Samsung as the benchmark is the best possible way to compare the strength of this processor but this is what the company seems to be doing pretty confidently.

UK Channel Sky Arts will broadcast the acclaimed podcast-turned-music program From The Basement over six weeks beginning January 12th, simultaneously airing in 3D on the Sky 3D channel.
From The Basement is what a music show should be: an intimate setting and a genuine performance. The remarkable program strips on-screen performances of the usual distractions and promotional baggage – no tv show host, no audience – creating a respectful, comfortable environment for today’s finest artists to perform their music as it was intended. The unique behind-the-scenes feel captures the true representation of the artist’s work – like peeking into a private jam session or rehearsal – making the experience between the artist and the viewer as intimate as possible.
From the Basement takes a radical approach to the world of on-screen music documentary with its groundbreaking visual and sound production, as is to be expected as the brainchild between “the sixth member of Radiohead” Producer Nigel Godrich and Creative Director/Producer Dilly Gent. With Nigel’s brilliant ear and Gent’s revolutionary film production, the project redefines “stripped down” Unplugged programming by actually plugging in the viewer to the private performance.
Each show is an hour long with three musical guests, including sessions with The Shins, Feist, Foster the People, Moby, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Scissor Sisters. Dilly Gent, known for her keen eye for emerging talent, felt that it was important for viewers to be introduced to newer artists like Thundercat, Shearwater or Willis Earl Beal alongside the powerhouse bands. “The excitement of witnessing the emerging artists perform is especially heightened in a situation such as the one that From The Basement provides, where the viewer can see the band in an intimate setting with the best technology and crew behind them. It’s a chance to introduce these burgeoning talents to a new audience,” says Gent.
Director Vern Moen, known for meticulously documenting his subjects’ performances and antics in his signature on-the-road style, explains his “follow the music” approach for directing From the Basement: “The performance had to come first and I was just there to document what happened. I designed the space to feel intimate, so anybody watching would feel like they were the only one’s watching – maybe from a couch in the corner.”
Describing the 3D version, Moen explains how it adds to the immersive experience, “Of course, when you mention ‘3D,’ one instantly thinks of an in-your-face approach and fast-paced editing, and we wanted to go against that. I think 3D is a valuable tool. And while I don’t think it should necessarily dictate the approach to a project, it can really push certain elements of filmmaking beyond what was once possible. While there were some technical and logistical obstacles to overcome, this basically meant we pulled the audience into the space. It literally gives the music another dimension. The slower edits mean the viewer can get lost in the music and the moments in-between.”
The new series kicked off on SkyArts on January 12th with the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing their tenth studio album I’m With You, viewable in 2D in the US on Crackle.com. As one of the artists to premiere the extraordinary project, RHCP’s Chad Smith concludes: “This is one of the best television shows for music, and it’s a real honor to be a part of it.”

Scissor Sisters 19th Jan

Former Tripura chief minister and CPI(M) leader Manik Sarkar claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become “restless over the Left-Congress alliance” in the poll-bound state.
Alleging that the BJP-led government is “not following the Constitution” and has “murdered democracy” in Tripura, he said that the two rivals – the Left and the Congress- have joined hands to end “fascist” rule in the state.
His comment comes after PM Modi had on February 11 lashed out at the Congress-CPI(M) alliance in Tripura during an election rally and said the two parties have strangely chosen ‘dosti' (friendship) in the northeastern state as against their normal ‘kushti' (wrestling) in Kerala.
“You have mentioned that two parties, which are fighting each other in a state (Kerala), have become friends here. It is true that a CPI(M)-led front is running a government in Kerala where the Congress is sitting on the opposition bench. But democracy is vibrant there, which is missing in Tripura. The BJP is not following the Constitution here and a fascist rule is going on,” Sarkar said at an election rally in South Tripura’s Santirbazar on Monday.
The veteran CPI(M) leader also said, "It appears that the PM has become restless over the Left-Congress alliance...Democracy has been murdered in the northeastern state and the BJP is not following the Constitution here during the past five years of its rule. All these are happening at your behest.”
Claiming that the BJP’s tribal and non-tribal vote bank has “gone down drastically in the poll-bound state”, Sarkar said the electoral understanding between the Left and the Congress will avoid division of anti-BJP votes, which has “left the saffron camp worry”.
“The PM has toured the state twice for the ongoing campaign for the elections but he avoided to mention about the implementation of the vision document unveiled before the 2018 assembly elections. Modi remains silent on the promises during his campaign in the poll-bound state,” he said.
Sarkar also claimed electors “could not cast” their votes in the past five years and urged them to ensure that they can exercise their franchise in the February 16 elections.

In his book “Emotional First Aid,” renowned psychologist Guy Winch brings forth a groundbreaking approach to healing emotional wounds. As human beings, we are often meticulous when it comes to physical injuries, yet we tend to neglect the significance of attending to our emotional well-being. Winch addresses this crucial aspect and guides readers through a series of practical techniques and insightful strategies to help mend emotional pain. As a licensed psychologist, TED speaker, and bestselling author, Guy Winch has dedicated his career to exploring the impact of emotional health on our overall happiness and success. With his profound understanding of the human psyche, Winch unlocks the secrets to emotionally healing and empowers readers with the necessary tools to lead happier, healthier lives.
Chapter 1: The Importance of Emotional First Aid
Chapter 1: The Importance of Emotional First Aid from the book Emotional First Aid by Guy Winch emphasizes the significance of addressing emotional wounds just like we would address physical injuries. Winch argues that we often neglect our psychological well-being, despite the detrimental effects that unresolved emotional pain can have on our overall health and happiness.
The chapter begins by highlighting the prevalence of emotional pain. Just as we experience physical injuries in our daily lives, we also encounter emotional injuries, such as rejection, failure, and loneliness. However, while we readily tend to physical injuries with immediate care, emotional injuries are often ignored or neglected, which can lead to long-term consequences.
Winch points out that emotional wounds, if left untreated, can impact various aspects of our lives. For example, unresolved emotional pain can affect our self-esteem, relationships, productivity, and even physical health. Moreover, it can perpetuate cycles of negative thoughts and behaviors, further exacerbating our emotional distress.
The chapter emphasizes the need for emotional first aid to address these wounds promptly and effectively. Winch encourages readers to adopt a proactive approach to their emotional well-being, including recognizing the signs of emotional pain and actively working to treat and heal these wounds.
By providing anecdotes and research-based evidence, Winch stresses the importance of addressing emotional injuries and building emotional resilience. He argues that just as we have been taught CPR to save a person’s life during a cardiac event, we should also learn emotional first aid techniques to heal our emotional wounds.
In conclusion, Chapter 1 of Emotional First Aid brings attention to the significance of emotional well-being and the need to address emotional wounds with the same urgency as physical injuries. By understanding the impact of unresolved emotional pain and adopting effective strategies, we can take a proactive approach to nurturing our emotional health and ultimately lead happier and healthier lives.
Chapter 2: Rejection and Failure
Chapter 2 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch focuses on the topic of rejection and failure and how they affect our emotional well-being. The chapter starts by emphasizing the universality of rejection and failure, as everyone experiences it at some point in their lives. Winch argues that the emotional pain we feel after being rejected or experiencing failure is often disregarded, which can have long-lasting negative effects on our mental health.
The author explains that rejection activates the same areas in the brain as physical pain, making it just as distressing. He highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing these emotional wounds to prevent them from festering and impacting our self-esteem and sense of worth. Winch provides several examples to demonstrate how rejection can be damaging, such as how rejections in job applications can elicit feelings of inadequacy and discourage further attempts.
Moreover, the chapter delves into the consequences of failure, particularly the fear of trying again and the impact it has on our motivation and self-confidence. The fear of failure can lead to avoidance behaviors and prevent us from pursuing our goals or taking risks.
Winch introduces various strategies to cope with rejection and failure, including developing self-compassion, reframing negative thoughts, and seeking social support. He encourages readers to challenge the negativity associated with rejection and failure, focusing instead on potential growth opportunities and learning experiences. The author also emphasizes the importance of maintaining resilience and perseverance in the face of setbacks.
Overall, Chapter 2 of “Emotional First Aid” addresses the emotional toll of rejection and failure, offering practical advice and techniques to heal and grow from these experiences.
Chapter 3: Loneliness and Isolation
Chapter 3 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch focuses on the topics of loneliness and isolation. The chapter explores the detrimental effects of these emotional experiences and offers strategies to help individuals combat them.
Loneliness is described as a deeply distressing emotion that arises when our need for social connection is not fulfilled. Winch explains that although we may be surrounded by people, we can still feel lonely due to a lack of meaningful connections. The chapter highlights the various ways in which loneliness affects our mental and physical health, including increased stress levels, compromised immune functioning, and heightened risk of depression and anxiety.
Isolation, on the other hand, is a state of being physically or emotionally detached from others. Winch explains how isolation often stems from a fear of rejection or vulnerability and can lead to feelings of unworthiness and despair. He emphasizes that isolation can be particularly harmful as it deprives individuals of the support and understanding that human connection provides.
To combat loneliness and isolation, Winch suggests several strategies. Firstly, he encourages individuals to challenge negative self-perception and recognize that their feelings of loneliness do not define their worth or desirability. Second, he emphasizes the importance of reaching out to others and fostering deep and meaningful connections. This can be done through various means, such as joining clubs or organizations, participating in social activities, and utilizing technology to connect with others. Finally, the chapter stresses the significance of cultivating self-compassion and engaging in self-care activities to build resilience against loneliness and isolation.
In summary, Chapter 3 of “Emotional First Aid” highlights the detrimental effects of loneliness and isolation while providing practical strategies to combat these emotions. By challenging negative self-perceptions, fostering meaningful connections, and practicing self-compassion, individuals can alleviate their feelings of loneliness and isolation and improve their overall well-being.
Chapter 4: Guilt and Regret
Chapter 4: Guilt and Regret of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch explores the powerful emotions of guilt and regret, their impact on our mental well-being, and strategies to overcome them. The chapter emphasizes that guilt and regret can be debilitating if not properly addressed, leading to negative self-perception, diminished self-worth, and even depression.
Winch explains that guilt is the distressing feeling that arises when we believe we have done something morally wrong, while regret refers to the feeling of sadness or disappointment over a missed opportunity or a past decision. Both emotions can be overwhelming, but they serve distinct purposes. Guilt motivates us to make amends and repair relationships, whereas regret helps us learn from past experiences and make better choices in the future.
The author highlights situations where guilt and regret can become excessive and unhealthy. He provides examples such as obsessing over ‘what if’ scenarios or replaying past events repeatedly in our minds. Winch suggests that a productive way to deal with guilt and regret is to first acknowledge and validate these emotions, understand the lessons they offer, and then channel them towards growth and self-improvement instead of dwelling on the negativity.
Furthermore, the chapter presents practical techniques to overcome excessive guilt and regret. These include reaching out to the affected person and taking responsibility for our actions, forgiving ourselves, and learning to let go of the past. Winch also explores the benefits of self-compassion and how treating ourselves with kindness and understanding can aid in healing from guilt and regret.
In summary, Chapter 4 of “Emotional First Aid” delves into the emotions of guilt and regret, emphasizing their impact on mental health. By understanding their purpose, recognizing excessive guilt or regret, and implementing strategies like self-compassion and forgiveness, individuals can effectively navigate these emotions and promote emotional well-being.
Chapter 5: Rumination and Self-Criticism
Chapter 5 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch focuses on the negative self-talk patterns of rumination and self-criticism. Winch begins by explaining how rumination refers to the act of constantly replaying negative thoughts or experiences in our minds, often without finding a solution or resolution. This habit can lead to an amplification of negative emotions, as well as increased levels of stress and anxiety.
The chapter delves into the various ways in which rumination can be detrimental to our emotional well-being. For instance, it can impair problem-solving abilities and hinder our capacity to move on from distressing situations. Moreover, rumination can intensify feelings of anger, sadness, and regret, causing a vicious cycle wherein negative emotions persist and escalate.
Winch also addresses self-criticism, another damaging pattern that individuals often engage in. He explains how common it is for people to excessively blame themselves for failures or shortcomings. Self-criticism can lead to feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, and even depression.
To counteract the negative effects of rumination and self-criticism, Winch suggests several helpful strategies. One approach involves reframing negative thoughts and challenging their accuracy by considering alternative interpretations or explanations. Another technique is to redirect our attention by engaging in activities that provide distraction, pleasure, or relaxation. Additionally, practicing self-compassion and treating ourselves with kindness and understanding can be an effective way to combat self-criticism.
By recognizing the harmful impact of rumination and self-criticism and implementing these strategies, individuals can take proactive steps towards improving their emotional health and well-being.
Chapter 6: Grief and Loss
Chapter 6 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch focuses on the topic of grief and loss. In this chapter, the author explores the many ways loss affects our emotions and mental well-being, as well as the importance of properly coping with these experiences.
First, Winch explains that grief and loss can stem from a variety of sources, including the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job. Regardless of the cause, these experiences can elicit intense emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, and fear. If not properly addressed, these emotions can lead to long-term complications, including depression and anxiety.
The author emphasizes the significance of acknowledging and grieving our losses, as many people tend to suppress their emotions or downplay the impact of the loss. He suggests strategies for effective grieving, such as allowing oneself to experience and express the pain, seeking support from loved ones or support groups, and finding ways to commemorate the person or thing that was lost. Winch also discusses the potential pitfalls of grieving, including unhealthy coping mechanisms like self-medicating or avoiding the pain altogether.
Furthermore, the chapter explores the misunderstandings and stigmas surrounding grief. The author emphasizes that grief is a highly individual experience, and therefore, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve. He also addresses common misconceptions about the process, such as the notion that time heals all wounds. Instead, Winch argues that active coping strategies are necessary to overcome grief and loss.
In conclusion, Chapter 6 of “Emotional First Aid” provides valuable insights and strategies for dealing with grief and loss. By recognizing the importance of properly grieving and understanding the common misconceptions surrounding the process, individuals can navigate their losses in a healthier and more effective manner.
Chapter 7: Trauma and Emotional Injuries
Chapter 7 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch explores the topic of trauma and emotional injuries and how they affect our mental well-being. The chapter highlights the importance of acknowledging and addressing these emotional wounds for our long-term psychological health.
According to Winch, trauma is often associated with physically visible injuries, but it can also deeply impact our emotions. Emotional injuries can result from experiences such as the loss of a loved one, a breakup, or being a victim of abuse or violence. These events can leave lasting emotional scars that affect our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
The chapter emphasizes that traumatic events can disrupt our sense of safety, control, and trust. This disruption can lead to negative consequences such as anxiety, depression, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Winch warns that if left unaddressed, emotional injuries can create a vicious cycle, affecting our relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
To heal from trauma and emotional injuries, Winch suggests several strategies. One important step is acknowledging the pain and understanding that it is not a sign of weakness to seek help. He explains the benefits of seeking therapy, as well as engaging in activities that promote self-compassion and self-care.
Furthermore, Winch emphasizes the healing power of expressing emotions and sharing our stories. By discussing our experiences and connecting with others who have gone through similar trauma, we can find support and validate our emotions. This allows us to build resilience and create a sense of empowerment.
In conclusion, Chapter 7 of “Emotional First Aid” highlights the significance of addressing and healing from trauma and emotional injuries. By recognizing the impact of these events on our mental health and using strategies like seeking therapy, practicing self-compassion, and sharing our stories, we can begin the healing process and restore our emotional well-being.
Chapter 8: Building Emotional Resilience
Chapter 8 of “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch is titled “Building Emotional Resilience.” This chapter focuses on providing techniques to strengthen our emotional resilience, which is crucial for recovering from setbacks, facing challenges, and developing a more robust emotional state.
To begin, Winch highlights the importance of challenging our negative self-talk and reframing our thoughts. Negative self-talk can have a significant impact on our emotional well-being and resilience. By recognizing and reshaping negative thoughts, we can change our perspective and create a more constructive and positive mental framework.
The author also emphasizes the significance of self-compassion as a tool for building emotional resilience. Self-compassion involves treating ourselves with kindness, understanding, and acceptance, even when facing difficulties. It helps us to be more resilient in the face of setbacks and reduces the likelihood of us becoming overwhelmed by negative emotions.
Furthermore, the chapter explores the importance of setting realistic expectations and goals. Winch explains that excessively high expectations can lead to disappointment and demoralization, making it difficult to bounce back from setbacks. Developing a more balanced and realistic mindset allows us to cultivate emotional resilience and cope better with adversity.
The author provides practical exercises and strategies for building emotional resilience throughout the chapter. These include practicing self-compassion exercises, challenging negative thoughts, and setting achievable goals. By actively engaging in these activities, individuals can strengthen their emotional resilience and develop a more robust ability to cope with life’s challenges.
Overall, Chapter 8 of “Emotional First Aid” emphasizes the significance of building emotional resilience through techniques such as reframing negative thoughts, practicing self-compassion, and setting realistic expectations. By implementing these strategies and actively engaging in resilience-building exercises, individuals can enhance their ability to bounce back from setbacks and maintain emotional well-being.
In conclusion, “Emotional First Aid” by Guy Winch serves as a valuable guide to navigating and healing our emotional wounds. The book emphasizes the significance of tending to our psychological well-being, just as we would provide first aid for physical injuries. Winch provides practical strategies and techniques to help individuals cope with common emotional challenges such as rejection, failure, and guilt, assisting readers in building emotional resilience and leading happier lives.

A Nigeria lady from Yoruba extraction named Fehintoluwa Okegbenle, took to her Instagram page and praised herself after she completed a seven days journey she embarked on, with her two wheels to some states in Nigeria with her team, “Across the Nation”.
According to her, it took them seven days of riding and pillion to covered these states. They took their tour on a bike from Lagos down to Enugu, the eastern part of the country, from there to Uyo the Akwa-Ibom state. They did not stop there but Uyo to Makurdi, you can imagine the distance on two wheels? They left Makurdi to Kaduna from there to Minna, Minna to Ilorin, and finally from Ilorin back to Lagos.
Fehintoluwa Okegbenle also added that the seven days trip she embarked on, she came, saw and conquered. I was determined, big thank you to the Across the Nation for the opportunity to join them this year, she added.
This alone can prove to you that Nigeria youths are not lazy, don’t let anyone preach that to you. We do exceptional things with things within our reach. Even if there is any lazy youth among our youths, it means is what that person chooses and it is for that person’s own detriment. You don’t condemn all because of one or two persons who want a manner to always fall from heaven.
This is not her first time, neither her second time, and it would not be her last time either. She’s always at it, she has travelled from Lagos to Asaba down to Onitsha to and fro, on her bike under 17hours including all stops. This time she has doubled her travelling adventure with two wheels and it is seven states seven journey something. Truly this young lady deserves accolades.
She is determined, reason she was able to achieved this. How determine are you towards your ambition? If Fehintoluwa Okegbenle can be this determined, you too you could. Get up and shake off laziness should you’re lazy, and pursue with determination, and you can’t beat the success that would fellow.


Hollywood A-Lister Anne Hathaway has spoken of her Irish heritage and given a shout out to one of her cousins here.
The star, whose new movie Interstellar will hit cinema screens this week, said her mother's maiden name is McAuley and her grandmother's name was Sinnott.
Speaking to Newstalk's Pat Kenny, the 31-year-old gave a shout out to her "dear, dear cousin Noel".
The Devil Wears Prada actress's family is believed to originate from Cork and Donegal. She has previously said she would like to relocate to Ireland, but that the weather would be a big turn-off.
Hathaway, who played Catwoman in the most recent Batman movie, is reunited with her Dark Night Rises director Christopher Nolan for Interstellar.
"Normally, I would wait to read the script to see if I take a movie role, but when I heard it was Chris Nolan I took it immediately," she told Kenny.
"I've worked with Chris before and he's an amazing director. He asked me, 'Do you want to read the script?' And I thought, 'Yes, that would probably be a good thing'."
Once she had read the script, it took time for her to understand the role of the character she was meant to play.
"When I first looked, I couldn't get my head around my character, Amelia. I would read it over and over again and bang my head off the wall because I couldn't understand her," she said.
Hathaway also told of the demanding filming schedule for Interstellar, but admitted that she had it easier than most of her co-stars.
"Matthew McConaughey had a pretty long schedule because he was involved in almost every scene, but in the months we were filming I got time off and was able to take breaks here and there."
The film is expected to be a hit at the box office, and has already generated buzz about its potential to scoop some Oscars.
Hathaway also spoke about her nerves in some of her film roles, in particular the musical Les Miserables, because of her fear of performing songs that had been sung by renowned artists before her.
"I was worried because I knew I wouldn't sing it as well as people had previously. I also knew that I had to sing it differently," she said.
Since filming Interstellar, Hathaway has taken on some roles in a number of smaller movies and plans to step away from acting for the next few months and take a break.
"I've made a couple of films, but now I plan on taking a break from acting for a while and stepping back from the spotlight," she said.
