Caunas used to be a mining village. It’s name may refer to a perfectly conical, lone slag heap that stands just beyond the village’s outskirts. Despite being a former mining village its setting is quite idyllic – the river Orb flows not too far away, and between it and the village are abandoned orchards and paddocks.
The building in these photographs is locally known as ‘Le Chateau’. It was once the home of the local landowner but now appears abandoned. In the photographs one can see a tower that was designed to be a dovecote. It still functions as such, but its inhabitants are now wild pigeons.
I’d long assumed that I’d already explored and photographed the tiny village of Valquières – after all Valquières no more than a couple of hours’ walk away, and I have lived here for almost ten years now, and in the decades previous to moving here had systematically explored the region (or so I thought).
So when I came to Valquières for what I thought was a return visit, I was surprised to find the place completely unfamiliar to me.
I like to pore over maps and pick new places to explore and photograph, but like the man in the gorilla suit who walks across the back of the set whom no-one notices there are places that manage to escape my attention, even when I’m looking for exactly that kind of place to explore.
The spot was as idyllic and tranquil as the photograph suggests.
It was outside the village. Behind me were lavoirs – public wash-basins supplied by an abundant spring. As we came closer the grassy cobbles around the lavoirs exploded with the slap and splash of frogs making good their escape. In the green depths of the basins newts hid, frozen in the billows of filamentous water weed.
The above photograph reminds me of some of Atget’s late work in Sceaux Park. I thought about including an example of this work, but I fear my work would too much suffer by being viewed alongside his.
“Un seul être vous manque, et tout est dépeuplé.” (One person’s absence and the whole world’s empty)
Alphonse de Lamartine
Those familiar with the little Village of Lacoste will struggle to recognise this place as the image is left-right flipped. This was the last image I took the last time I was there, as I was climbing into my car, pleasantly exhausted from a couple of hours of photographing. From my car seat I saw this scene and something about it prompted me to capture it.
Revisiting this photo a couple of years later I find that it still engages me. I’m still not sure why but it reminds me that Photography is at its most interesting when it is at its most elusive, allusive and mysterious.
This is a bit of a hotch-potch of photos, all taken since my last ‘recent work’ post.
I feel a bit frustrated with my most recent work. I think I’ve struggled a bit because I’ve been chopping and changing film. My favourite film/developer combination is Fomapan 100 in 1+49 Rodinal – but the 100 iso is just a pain when photographing in Winter, especially as I find it hard to work with a tripod. So I tried Agfa APX 400 and Ilford HP5+. But neither work well with Rodinal.
I don’t make a fetish of the ‘perfect negative’ – I prefer a subtle image imperfectly

This is the third in a series of shop-window photographs taken at Valras, all on the same day: Thursday the 19th of November 2015.
I took these using Fomapan 100 developed in Rodinal at 1+49. This is probably my favourite film/developer combination, though I like Ilford Delta 400 in Rodinal too. But Delta 400 is twice the price of Fomapan 100, and is very hard to get hold of in France.

Pressure for an audit of last year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results continued with doubts casts on the results’ credibility.
Cord leader Raila Odinga and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion, speaking separately, dismissed the outcome of the results saying they are not a true reflection of the ability of the candidates.
Mr Odinga speaking during the launch of a united opposition outfit, Nasa, at Bomas of Kenya, said that it is not possible that only 15 per cent can pass a national examination and join universities.
“What will we do with the remaining 85 per cent who scored less than the university entry grade and we are now condemning them that they are failures,” said Mr Odinga.
He insisted that the results must be audited and there should be no argument about it.
Mr Sossion on his part described the release of the examinations as a political statement insisting that an audit must be done.
“Results for individual subjects were not released. There was no standardization and we cannot accept it,” said Mr Sossion.
However, Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i had on Tuesday fought off the accusations saying the examinations were marked according to international standards and that all the grades were thoroughly reviewed.

The South Korean Army has decided to halt exercising with the Samsung Techwin K-9 artillery gun pending an enquiry to find out what caused the explosion of the self-propelled howitzer that killed two soldierand injured five others last week.
The explosion inside the K-9 Thunder gun occurred during an artillery training exercise last Friday in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province. The training was meant to improve the accuracy of counter-artillery attacks in preparation for a probable war with North Korea.
The doubts over the performance of the howitzer has put a question mark over potential domestic and export sales of the K-9, touted as among the most advanced artillery gun currently in the world .
“For reasons unknown, there was smoke inside the howitzer’s breach block assembly,” an Army official said under condition of anonymity adding, “according to our on-site investigation, three rounds of explosive were completely burned down without any trace,” Korea Herald reported today.
The Army will soon establish a comprehensive investigative panel consisting of government officials and civilian experts, the report said.
Developed by Hanhwa Techwin (earlier Samsung Techwin), the K-9 was touted as a high-quality artillery unit for its long range and high rate of firing and comparable to analogues from the US, France and Russia.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration has signed export deals with Turkey, Poland, Finland and India.
Earlier, two K-9 howitzers had malfunctioned when they were engaged against North Korea’s artillery during Pyongyang’s 2010 bombardment of Yeonpyongdo, an island in the West Sea close to the border with the North.
According to a parliamentary inquiry in 2016, there have been more than 1,700 reports of malfunctions with the K-9 artillery over the past five years. Currently, about 500 K-9 are fielded since its prototype was produced in 1999.
Following its setback during the Bombardment of Yeonpyeong, the K-9 received a series of modifications to reduce its rate of malfunction. Separately, the military revealed a plan last week to improve the K-9’s performance, including the development of an automated loading system, similar to a robotic turret.
More than 1,000 K-9s have been produced and they suffered from 1,700 malfunctions over the past five years, a rate of problems not considered unusual for a heavy use military hardware, the report added quoting a military expert.
South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) has approved a plan to upgrade home-grown K-9 self-propelled howitzer starting next year. The approval by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) allows the mass production of an upgraded K-9 Thunder 155mm self-propelled howitzer from next year,
Indian home-grown 155mm/45-caliber towed howitzer, Dhanush has failed weapons test for the third time. “The Dhanush 155mm/45-caliber artillery gun has failed on three occasions in a row in the last three months when the shell of the gun hit the muzzle brake in one of the six prototype guns currently undergoing user trials,”
South Korea has developed new mobile artillery locating radar system to counter Norths threats. The new counter-artillery detection radar-II worth approximately 54 billion won (US$47
India has signed inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with South Korea to develop artillery guns for Indian Army. Besides, both the countries have signed agreement to collaborate in shipbuilding
Indias Samtel Avionics and South Koreas Hanwha Systems are planning to set up joint venture to manufacture products of avionics and military applications under ‘Make in India. The joint venture is aimed at manufacturing military electronics and optronics across multiple platforms, such as missile electronics, rockets, guided missile and laser-guided bombs
Hanwha Techwin Co., a South Korean firm has won a 280 billion won (US$260 million) deal to build 96 K-9 self-propelled howitzers for a state-run company in Poland
The South Korean Army plans to resume use of its K-9 howitzer for training "in stages" following a report that a mechanical flaw trigged an explosion of the artillery system in August which left three soldiers dead and four others wounded. A press release from the South Korean Army published in the local media mentioned mechanical flaw as the likely cause of the abrupt explosion without giving any details
Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency and South Korean company Hanwha Land Systems signed a contract estimated 1.8 Billion NOK (US$ 215 million) for the procurement of Artillery System 155 mm on Wednesday
All India Defence Employees Federation (AIDEF) has written to the Defence Minister requesting to review its decision to buy South Korean howitzer guns instead of locally made Dhanush 155 mm Artillery Gun. The request of AIDEF follows death of South Korean soldiers in an K-9 howitzer explosion during South Korean army's artillery training session,

Ontario will now test anyone with symptoms for COVID-19: minister
Healthcare workers do testing at a drive-thru COVID-19 assessment centre at the Etobicoke General Hospital in Toronto on April 21, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette
Published Thursday, May 14, 2020 10:21AM EDT
Last Updated Thursday, May 14, 2020 6:28PM EDT
Ontario is expanding its testing guidance for COVID-19 to include anyone displaying symptoms of the disease in the community for the first time since the outbreak began, as a sector-wide screen of long-term care residents is nearly finished.
Health Minister Christine Elliott said that on Thursday, the Ministry of Health will update its testing guidance for doctors so that people displaying symptoms will be tested, even if they are not tied to a priority sector such as long-term care, hospital or an otherwise vulnerable community group.
Since May 2, testing has been directed at long-term care residents and staff, hospital patients and staff, families of hospital patients and staff, essential workers including first responders, cross-border workers, Indigenous communities and residents or staff of other congregate settings such as shelters, group homes or correctional facilities.
Asked why Ontario wasn't always testing people outside of those groups who showed symptoms, Elliott said assessment centres were, but testing decisions were left up to the supervising clinician.
"We were doing testing before at the assessment centres but it was based on the judgment of the clinician who was in charge of the assessment centre."
Ontario Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Williams said there were some circumstances in the past where a person was not sick enough to warrant a test.
“In the past there was reason to say – if you had mild symptoms where there was really no change in you clinical outcome, you’d still be asked to isolate from your family members for a 14-day period,” he said. “Now because we would like to know more about the public writ large, we’ve opened it up to say we’d like to do more testing.”
Testing of asymptomatic persons in the community generally does not occur, as asymptomatic testing is only be done on close contacts of confirmed cases in congregate settings or as otherwise recommended by local public health units.
Ontario has slowly but steadily increased its testing capacity for the virus, from a few thousand per day in March to up to 20,000 per day in May.
Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Barbara Yaffe said that now that the sector-wide test of long-term care residents and staff is coming to a close, it will open up more capacity to test the general public.

First, some good news: a significant majority (95%) of 762 IT pros surveyed by Spiceworks report having a disaster recovery (DR) plan in place—90% of which cover data integrity and backups. The goal of planning, of course, is to help organizations bounce back from hardware failure, power outages, natural disasters and other disruptive events.
The bad news, however, is that other survey findings reveal that testing whether DR plans actually work is sporadic at best non-existent at worst. In fact, one-quarter of those surveyed never test their plan at all. Why? Respondents from those organizations, predictably, cite the lack of time and resources. But an astounding 34% say that DR simply isn’t a priority for their employers.
Get the attention of leadership
This finding sets up our first tip: Most small firms (71%) experienced an outage of some kind last year, so when possible, advocate at the top.
“The whole point of DR is to prevent business losses,” reminds the Disaster Recovery Journal (DRJ), adding that “One of the most valuable things you can do is convince company leaders that DR is a financial imperative.”
What’s the best way to do this? Present the case in financial terms, naturally. Help leaders understand the dollar amounts at stake. Tie failures to business outcomes. Thirty percent of Spiceworks’ respondents report losing income due to outages—with a third of those estimating their losses between $10K and $100K, while 10% lost $100K or more.
So keep in mind that it’s not enough just to have a DR plan. Effective DR planning requires collaboration, thoughtful preparation and

2014 saw the release of the blockbuster Malayalam movie Bangalore Days helmed by anjali Menon and the movie was a smash hit in Tamil Nadu too and featured Fahadh Faasil, Nazriya Nazim, Dulquer Salmaan, Nithya Menen, Nivin Pauly in prime roles.
When anjali made the movie only Nazriya and Fahadh fell in love, and later got the consent of families and got married. Nithya Menen opened in a recent interview that she was the first choice to play Fahadh Faasil's pair but could not take up due to other commitments.
Only then came in Nazriya and later anjali Menon also cast Nithya Menen as natasha Francis. Nithya Menen made a funny remark that as she left the role of Divya to Nazriya, now Nazriya and Fahadh are a married couple.

A creepy and engrossing novel about a preteen named Marjorie Barrett, who begins to show signs of schizophrenia. As her outbursts become more bizarre and frequent, Marjorie's father turns to a Catholic priest who suggests performing an exorcism. At the same time a reality television show gets wind of this story and approaches the family in order to document it all.
Is Marjorie really crazy? possessed? or just looking for attention? It's hard to parse out what really happened with this girl and her family.

Christmas is almost upon us and another year is drawing to a close. It is time to send you all my very best wishes for peace and joy this Christmas season. Have a very Merry Christmas!

I've been as busy as a bee working on an idea for a Christmas gift. This year, the only Christmas gifts are homemade ones and I'm more than a little behind in Santa's workshop.
The inspiration for this came from a picture, or more precisely, a vintage railway poster from the 1940s. I got as far as tracing the design a couple of weeks ago, but then work ground to a halt, so now I'm busy in the sewing room (actually the dining table, but a girl can dream...), trying to get it finished in time.
I spent all day yesterday sticking Bondaweb to fabric and cutting out my design (all of the fabrics used came from my small fabric stash). I then started to assemble it on the fabric backing. Little did I realise that this process would take me the better part of eight hours.
Here, I'm trying to work out exactly what that little scrap of funny-shaped fabric is...a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
As the light was fading, I added the final piece. The next stage is to finish all of the raw edges.

I have been reading a lot about Hygge in the British press lately ~ there have been articles and book recommendations, but I could not track down any books on the subject here. I find it interesting how ideas take a while to filter through and can only assume that it has something to do with a couple of thousand miles of ocean in between (though one would think that would no longer be an issue in these days of social media).
Imagine my delight when a parcel arrived from my friend at Vintage Pretty and when I opened it, I discovered a parcel of hygge! The Little Book of Hygge had been on my reading list for quite some time and it came with a gorgeously soft hand knitted scarf, English breakfast tea, Scottie dog shortbreads (very cute!), the most delicious salted caramel biscuits and a beautiful card with a scenic view of her home county.
Hygge may best be described as 'the art of living cosily', so now I can create my own hygge with a lovely cup of tea, a biscuit and my book. I've added the essential ingredient ~ a candle for that homely glow.

I turn the page of the calendar to December and realise that Christmas is fast approaching and also the end of 2016. I completed my personal NaBloPoMo challenge in November ~ posting every day for a month. I don't think that I have that many readers these days, but I do appreciate the comments and support of my blogging friends.
I sometimes find myself wondering why I continue with this blog ~ I think that the reason is a desire to write and be published ~ little more than a dream at present, but I hope to one day make it a reality.

I have a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix with 110,400 miles and when I drive the car it will run perfectly fine however, out of nowhere the car will just shut off and sometimes it will take about 10 minutes before it will turn on.... Do you know what may be the problem?
I have a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire. The horn started going off, so a mechanic took off the steering wheel cover so he could caught off the horn. He claims the cover was broken.

Very well, thank you!
The soul-crushing heat and humidity of the last week have been hard on us humans, but the plants have loved it.
The cucumbers have been thinned to one plant per hill, and seem to be progressing nicely. They’re the same bush-type I grew last year – the ones that gave me such an impressive harvest. No sign of bugs so far – knock on wood…
The tomato 4th of July isn’t quite going to live up to its name, but if the heat keeps up, we’ll be munching on them by the 10th. Last year, I didn’t have a single ripe tomato until August.
I believe we will be having radishes in our salads very soon! Which is good, because …
…the lettuce is ready for its first haircut. Mmmm, home-grown salad!
As for the rest of it, the garlic and shalots will probably be harvested next week. The pole beans are reaching for the sky. Carrots, beets and Swiss chard are all plugging right along. This morning, I set out leek seedlings – a gift from my friend Bill, and planted a new patch of summer lettuces. That should keep us in veggies for a while.
Oh, and I picked the first of the blueberries yesterday! I should have a good, creative recipe for you early next week. Just have to try it out on the guinea pigs – er, family – first.
Happy Gardening, everyone!

Bank of America Corp and JPMorgan Chase & Co are now accepting applications for federally backed small-business loans, a sign that big U.S. banks have warmed up to the relief program after initially resisting participation.
Bank of America was the first major bank to announce its involvement in the $349 billion Payroll Protection Program on Friday, saying it had processed tens of thousands of loans within just a few hours.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
JPMorgan followed around noon, saying customers could apply through its website. Earlier in the day, it had warned small business customers that it could not accept applications until receiving guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department.
Wells Fargo & Co and Citigroup Inc did not have their online portals running by Friday afternoon.
While smaller banks were already participating – helping the Treasury Department originate nearly $900 million worth of loans soon after its program kicked off – those four lenders touch a huge portion of U.S. households, and can get money out the door much more quickly to customers who already have accounts with them.

Jeff Koons - Popeye Skateboard - 2021 SOLD OUT
“Popeye is about an image of, ‘I am what I am.’ Kind of a symbol of self-acceptance that you have to embrace who you are. Popeye has his spinach. Spinach brings about his transcendence, and brings about his power. That’s what art [is]. Art is our spinach.” – Jeff Koons
Jeff Koons, one of the leading artists in the world, reinterprets a detail of his 2008 oil painting Triple Popeye, a layered and hand-painted composition with the iconic cartoon character, Popeye. Here we see the fictional sailor clutching a can of spinach, his life-force, and posing triumphantly amid colorful gestures and a reflective silver line drawing to give a sense of movement. Popeye Skateboard, 2021, utilises a triptych of skateboards as its canvas.

Adam Levine may have scored rock icon Stevie Nicks as his go-to sage for the upcoming fall season of The Voice, but new coach Gwen Stefani also has quite an ace of up sleeve, as well: her husband, Gavin Rossdale. “guess who’s going to be my advisor on #TheVoice?” Gwen wrote on Instagram while posting the above photo.
Bush frontman Rossdale told Access Hollywood, “I don’t know how it came about, but it was just one of those things [where] the idea was mentioned — I wasn’t even sure who was mentioning it — and then it came around to, ‘So, next week you ready? You are gonna come and do this?”
He added, “The main thing, from my perspective, is just to make sure that Gwen is so good and excellent like all the other judges on the show. It’s just sort of to not interrupt and to normally let her speak, let her do her thing and I’m just like a side thing.”
The seventh season of NBC talent smash The Voice premieres on September 22. In the meantime, Gwen is being tight-lipped about the rumor of her upcoming third solo LP. Producer Diplo, however, told Idolator in June that he’s done “some stuff for Gwen Stefani for her new record possibly.”

How would Roc Marciano and MF Doom sound if they were born in Athens to immigrant parents?
MC Yinka & DJ Booker provide an answer by teaming up to bring us their first LP “Night Lights”.
MC Yinka finds inspiration in blighted areas, urban struggles and multicultural subcultures. Night Lights is fully produced by DJ Booker who balances between trippy and minimal sounds with dark beats which vary from broken to “J Dilla – inspired” rhythms to discreet patterns that trigger the imagination and the expectations of the audience.
The album also features one of the best “conscious” MCs, Mr. Lif and the hip-hop street performers Twinsanity who call our attention to the raw reality from Athens to Boston.

The invention relates to a valve and actuator assembly including particularly simple and advantageous acutating components. The valve and actuator assembly is primarily useful in association with an automatic compression release system for a two-cycle engine, and the invention also contemplates a method of effecting start-up and running of a two-cycle internal combustion engine in a particularly effective manner. As is well known in the art, it is necessary to provide pressure relief in a cylinder of a two-cycle engine during start-up, in order to allow the easiest starting possible. According to the present invention, this compression release is effected in a simple, energy efficient, and reliable manner.
A two-cycle engine, such as a lawn mower engine, includes a cylinder wall with a piston movable (i.e., reciprocal) within the cylinder wall. A crankcase is disposed at a first end of the cylinder wall, and a compression release opening disposed at a second end of the cylinder wall, opposite the first end. The compression release opening is located at approximately 20-30% of the piston stroke from top center.
According to the present invention, a conventional compression release valve assembly is mounted in operative association with the compression release opening. This assembly includes a valve body, a stationary valve seat, a valve actuator stem integral with the valve body, a pressure responsive element (preferably a diaphragm) defining a first chamber and operatively engaging the valve stem, and spring biasing means for biasing the valve body to an open position with respect to the valve seat. According to the present invention, means defining a fluid flow path are provided between the first chamber and a source of vacuum or pressure. Preferably the source of vacuum or pressure is the crankcase.
The means defining the fluid flow path from the diaphragm first chamber to the crankcase includes a one-way valve means (i.e., check valve) which allows flow of fluid from the diaphragm chamber to the crankcase but not vice versa, and an orifice which allows bleeding of fluid in both directions between the diaphragm chamber and the crankcase. The check valve and the orifice are disposed in fluid parallel relationship so that fluid must flow through one or the other between the diaphragm chamber and the crankcase. Preferably the orifice and check valve are disposed in a single fluid element which is mounted within a housing, with hose sections connected to fittings for the housing, the hose sections connecting the housing up to the crankcase and the diaphragm chamber. In this way, the fluid flow path defining structures according to the present invention may be readily retrofit to existing two-cycle engines, as well as being readily replaceable, or removable for inspection and repair.
According to the method of the present invention, easy start-up of a two-cycle engine is provided. The method comprises the steps of: (a) At start-up, providing for the exhaust of fluid from the cylinder through the pressure relief opening, ultimately to be exhausted to the atmosphere. (b) After start-up when the piston is moving at operating speed within the cylinder, providing quick exhaust of fluid from the first chamber of the pressure responsive element, so that the valve moves to a closed position and prevents exhaust of fluid from the cylinder. And, (c) upon stopping of the engine, providing for slow bleed back of fluid to the first chamber so that the valve ultimately returns to an open position. Steps (b) and (c) are preferably accomplished by connecting up the first chamber to the crankcase and providing the check valve and orifice in parallel in a fluid flow path between the crankcase and first chamber.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a simple and effective apparatus and method which are particularly adapted for effecting easy start-up--in a reliable manner--of a two-cycle internal combustion engine. This and other objects of the present invention will become clear from an inspection of the detailed description of the drawings, and from the appended claims.

FIG. 4 is a side view of other compression release valve components, cooperable with the components of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the bottom component of the structure of FIG. 3, taken along lines 5--5 thereof;
FIG. 6 is a plan view of an intermediate component of the structure of FIG. 3 taken at lines 6--6 thereof; and
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the structure of FIG. 3.
A two-cycle internal combustion engine, such as a lawn mower engine, is illustrated schematically by reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1. The engine includes a cylinder wall 11 with a piston 12 reciprocal therein, and crankcase 13 formed at a first end of the cylinder wall 11, and means defining a compression release opening 14 at a second end of the wall 11, opposite the first end 13. The compression release opening 14 is located at approximately 20-30% of the piston 12 stroke from top center.
In FIG. 1, a conventional compression release valve assembly, shown generally by reference numeral 16, is schematically shown operatively connected to the opening 14. The valve assembly 16 includes a valve body 17, a valve seat 18, a valve actuator stem 19 having a cap 20 at the end thereof opposite the body 17, integral with the body 17, a fluid pressure responsive element 21, and spring biasing means 22, 23. The pressure responsive element 21 preferably comprises a diaphragm, which defines a first fluid chamber 24, and a second fluid chamber 25. The diaphragm 21 acts through the cap 20 on the valve stem 18. The first spring 22 (preferably a coil spring) has sufficient strength so that acting through the diaphragm 21 on the valve stem 19 it moves the valve body 17 to the valve open position (body 17 displaced from seat 18) illustrated in FIG. 1. The second spring 23, which also preferably comprises a coil spring, is weaker than the spring 22, and acts on stem 19 through collar 27 to bias the body 17 to the closed position (i.e., in sealing engagement with the valve seat 18).
According to the present invention, means 30 are provided defining a fluid flow path between the first chamber 24 and a source of vacuum or pressure. Preferably the source of vacuum or pressure is the crankcase 13. The flow path defining means 30 preferably comprises hose sections 31, 32, and fluid component assembly 33. The fluid component assembly 33 includes a one-way valve means 34 and an orifice means 35. The one-way valve means 34 allows fluid to pass from the chamber 24 to the crankcase 13, but not vice versa. The orifice means 35 allows fluid to bleed from the chamber 24 to the crankcase 13 and vice versa. Components 34 and 35 are connected in fluid parallel relationship.
A typical simple construction of the fluid elements 33 is shown in detail in FIG. 2. Structure 33 as illustrated in FIG. 2 includes a fluid element 37 which has two bores therein. The first bore defines the orifice 35, and the second bore 38, much larger that the first bore, is for receipt of the one-way valve means 34. The orifice 35 may have any dimension that provides for proper operation of the assembly. A typical dimension of the orifice 35 is a diameter of approximately 0.014 inches.
The one-way valve means 34 illustrated in FIG. 2 preferably is a conventional check valve. The valve 34 may comprise any type of check valve that is responsive enough to the pressure conditions that it will be subjected to so that it works properly. A typical check valve that is useful comprises a duckbill valve, such as shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,807,562 and 4,426,062, and as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 at 40. Valve element 40 allows fluid to flow from line 31 to line 32, but not vice versa.
The structure 33 illustrated in FIG. 2, in addition to the fluid component 37, also preferably comprises a female housing section 46 and a male housing section 47. The sections 46, 47 cooperate as illustrated in FIG. 2. An O-ring 48, or other sealing means, is disposed between the element 37 and the housing section 36 to ensure that fluid flowing through the member 33 must flow through either the orifice 35 or the valve means 34. The housing sections 46, 47 have hollow fittings 49, 50, respectively, which receive the hose sections 31, 32, respectively. The hose section 31 is fitted, at the end thereof opposite the assembly 33, to a fitting associated with the first chamber 24, and the hose section 32 is fitted at an end thereof opposite the fitting 50 to a fitting connected to the crankcase 13.
If desired, a duckbill valve having controlled flow characteristics in the normal no-flow direction (such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,901,272) may be utilized in place of valve 34 and orifice 35.
Typical components that may be utilized for the valve assembly 16 are shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 through 7. As illustrated in FIG. 3, preferably four separable components, besides the diaphragm 21, may be provided. These components are indicated by reference numerals 51, 52, 53, and 54 in FIG. 3.
The component 51 preferably comprises a silencer housing, being a generally cylindrical component having a plurality of openings 55 formed in the wall thereof, and a central bore 56 in which the valve body 17 reciprocates. A pair of first peripheral bores 57 are provided which are adapted to receive bolts (shown by dotted line at 58 in FIG. 3) which attach the housing component 52 to the member 51, and additionally attach the member 51 to the cylinder wall 11 at the compression release opening 14. A second pair of peripheral bores 59, which receive bolts (not shown) attaching the housing components 51, 52 together, are also provided.
The housing component 52, illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 6, includes a central bore 61 therein for receipt of the valve stem 19. The bores 62 are in alignment with the bores 57 and receive the bolts 58, and the bores 63 are in alignment with the bores 59 to receive another set of bolts. The recessed central portion 64 includes a side wall 65 in which a bore 66 is formed, the bore 66 allowing free communication between the recessed portion 64 and the atmosphere. The peripheral bores 68 are adapted to receive screw fasteners (not shown), or the like, for connecting the components 54, 53, 52 together.
The diaphragm 21, of rubber or like material, is sandwiched between the housing components 53, 54, and rigidly attached thereto around the peripheral interengaging portions. The first chamber 24 is disposed between the diaphragm 21 and the top and walls of the housing section 54. Bores 69 formed in the section 54 cooperate with the bores 68 of the section 52 to receive screw fasteners or the like for attaching the components together. The central hat-shaped portion 70 of the housing component 54 receives the coil spring 22, which is surrounded by slide member 71 (see FIG. 3) and acts on the diaphragm 21 to bias the central portion thereof toward the housing components 51, 52.
The valve elements for the structure of FIG. 3 are illustrated in FIG. 4, including the valve stem 19, cap 20 (which is removably attached to the end of stem 19), and valve body 17 which is integral with the valve stem 19. A generally spool-shaped structure 72, is mounted to the nipple 73 (see FIG. 3) of the element 51, and the second spring 23 acts between the top of the spool 72 and the collar 27 which is rigidly attached (as by a cotter pin--not shown) to the valve stem 19. Opening 74 in spool 72 (see opening 74 in FIG. 1 too) allows for the exhausting of fluid from the opening 56 into the silencer 51 and through the openings 55. When the elements of FIG. 4 are assembled in the structure of FIG. 3, all of the components thereof except for the valve stem 19 will be within the silencer 51. The valve stem 19 will extend through the central bore 61 in member 52, and into the recessed area 64. In the recessed area 64 (which defines the second chamber 25), the cap 20 is placed on the stem 19, and engages the diaphragm 21 opposite the slide 71.
In the practice of the method of the present invention to effect start-up of the two-cycle internal combustion engine, the following takes place:
As the engine is fired, the piston 12 reciprocates within the cylinder wall 11. At start-up the cranking speed is relatively small so that a large pulsating vacuum is not caused in the crankcase 13. In this condition, the spring 22 has sufficient strength to overcome the spring 23 so that spring 22--acting through diaphragm a 21--biases the valve stem 19 so that the valve body 17 is spaced from the seat 18, and thus the pressure relief valve is in the open position. This allows some of the fluid at the top of the cylinder 12 to exhaust through the opening 14, between the valve body 17 and seat 18, through opening 74, into housing member 51, and through silencer openings 55 to the atmosphere.
Once the engine 10 has started and achieves a normal operating speed, a pulsating vacuum is formed in crankcase 13. This vacuum causes gas in the chamber 24 to be quickly exhausted therefrom through hose section 31, check valve 34, and hose section 32 into the crankcase 13. Quickly the pressure in chamber 24 is reduced to a vacuum condition. The vacuum in chamber 24 causes the atmospheric pressure in chamber 25 to act on the diaphragm 21 to cause it to move to the right in FIG. 1. Thus, the bias of spring 22 is overcome, and the spring 23 thus controls operation of the valve actuator stem 19, causing the stem 19 to move to the right in FIG. 1 so that the valve body 17 moves into sealing relationship with the valve seat 18. No gas may then be exhausted through opening 14.
Because of the check valve 34, the pulsating vacuum in crankcase 13 is essentially a continuous vacuum since when a pressure condition is reached in crankcase 13 no gas can flow through check valve 34. The only gas that can flow is a small amount which bleeds through orifice 35, and which is insufficient--while the engine 10 is running--to significantly affect the pressure conditions in the chamber 24.
Once the engine 10 has stopped running, an atmospheric or like pressure condition is achieved in the crankcase 13. Gas then bleeds from crankcase 13 through orifice 35 to the chamber 24, ultimately restoring pressure to the chamber 24 so that the pressure in chambers 24, 25 is approximately equal. In this condition, the spring 22 will again overpower the spring 23 and move the valve body 17 to the open position so that the structure is ready for another start-up.
Plugging of the orifice 35 is not a problem due to the fact that it is in a clean environment, and also since there is a pulsating gas flow therethrough, which will effect cleaning.
While the invention has been herein shown and described in what is presently conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiment thereof, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that many modifications may be made thereof within the scope of the invention, which scope is to be accorded the broadest interpretation of the appended claims so as to encompass all equivalent structures and methods.

English singer-songwriter Emmy The Great took over LA's Bootleg Theater on a rainy Saturday night, March 5, performing an intimate set to a swooning audience featuring tracks off her just released album, "Second Love" (available now via Bella Union).
Somewhat reserved behind her keyboard and MacBook station, much of Emmy's power comes in her ability to completely draw an audience in with her undeniably charming vocals. In between moments, I was struck by how completely taken the entire crowd was with her and I can't deny I was among their numbers.

Is Huawei Mate50 a satellite phone? What's the difference?
How many kinds of satellite phones are there? What is Tiantong satellite phone?
At the recent Huawei Mate50 press conference, the most eye-catching thing is this "breakthrough technology". Is that what we call satellite phones? In fact, there are still some differences. It was clearly stated at the press conference that it is the world's first public smart phone that supports Beidou satellite messages. In fact, it is the Beidou short message and positioning function I mentioned in the previous issue, and it has no satellite call function.
And what we call satellite phones are
Maritime satellite operated by the United Kingdom, L-band, covering the world's sea, land and air except the North and South Poles
Iridium satellite operated by the United States, L-band, covering the world (limited by Russia)
Eurostar, L-band operated by the United Arab Emirates, covers regions other than the South Arctic and North and South America
As well as our independently developed Tiantong 1 satellite, S-band, covering the whole of China
If used in China, the most cost-effective one is China's Tiantong No. 1 satellite phone. For example, the one I took on my mobile phone is the the third mock examination Tiantong satellite phone, mobile phone + DMR interphone + Tiantong satellite phone. Now China Telecom can directly open Tiantong satellite phone service without changing its mobile phone number. It has 720 minutes per 1000 years, 1.6 minutes for the excess part, and 0.4 SMS, At the end, we will attach a Tiantong card to you.

Also, along with her photos with Rohman, Sushmita shared some photos of Renee and Alisah enjoying their surroundings and having fun on the family holiday. Sush captioned the photo as, “Come walk with me, celebrating the truth, what will be will be.
Meanwhile, Sushmita recently organised her brother Rajeev Sen’s wedding with TV actress Charu Asopa in Goa. Her boyfriend, Rohman and daughters also were present and she even danced at the sangeet ceremony. Sushmita and Rohman first made their public appearance together at Shilpa Shetty’s Diwali party last year.
As per reports, now that Sushmita’s brother has taken the seven vows, it could be Sush’s turn up next.


While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Nissan vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. Car aficionados appreciate the dependability built into each Nissan, and understand that only the best replacement Stanza parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. It's not all the time that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Distributor Rotor for your vehicle. Make no mistake, you bought your Stanza because you understood you would be getting a variety of features and options and youthfulness both impeccably combined into one automobile.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, there would be no way to generate enough power for efficient operation. One durable part in your Nissan Stanza engine that will not last forever is your distributor rotor. As the distributor shaft turns along with the cam gear, a small shaft under the cap turns your Nissan Stanza distributor rotor. It has a contact on its tip, so when the coil charges the distributor rotor current is sent through a post under the cap to the spark plug wire on top of the cap.

The term impairment is usually associated with a long-lived asset that has a market which has decreased significantly. For example, a meat packing plant may have recently spent large amounts for capital expenditures and then experienced a dramatic drop in the plant's value due to business and community conditions.
If the undiscounted future cash flows from the asset (including the sale amount) are less than the asset's carrying amount, an impairment loss must be reported.
If the impairment loss must be reported, the amount of the impairment loss is measured by subtracting the asset's fair value from its carrying value.
