The scheme was introduced to grant interest to the homeless poor people of the rural areas for making a mark with a feeble answer to loans and poor use of money, saying the government to pursue its restoration by fastening in two monetary organizations with a powerful rural network.
Released in mid-2019 out of around Rs 50 crore the Rural Housing Interest Subsidy Scheme managed to devote barely around Rs 10 crore till this week, with unevenly 9,000 recipients. The rural development ministry had reserved Rs 100 crore for 2020-21 and it is one of the major setbacks for government expectations. The current year distribution is out of a job now given the terrible expenditure said by the sources.
In the last week, the figures were shown in a review. The financial support provided by the flagship rural housing program called Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for supporting the construction of the houses for the poor of rural areas and based on poverty survey Socio-Economic Caste Census it has identified 2.95 crore recipients. To construct a house, the Centre launched the RHISS to help the rural poor who are not on the list of identified recipients of PMAY in 2017. The deadline for the construction is 2022.
With a frank subsidy of Rs 38,859, they are helped to benefit from a loan of Rs 2 lakh. The finalization of the scheme guidelines was done in mid-2017. The RD ministry this week has decided to add two big institutions Nabard and Hudco as nodal activities as well as the prevailing NHB but with the scheme virtually being a non-starter. As evident in the response to the scheme the NHB has a limited reach, a senior official added. Working in the field of credit the additional influence of big institutions in the rural sector is predictable to overwhelm a major obstacle in the achievement of RHISS — the unwillingness of banks and loaning agencies to provide loans to the poor.

3D Printing Additive Tech
Ambience: 3D printer
We’re listening to the sounds of a technology that’s enabling us to make things that were previously impossible to create. I’m Jim Metzner and this is the Pulse of the Planet.
Williams: the sound you’re hearing is the sound of it passing from left to right depositing droplets of polymer that, when added layer by layer, result in a completed product.
Chris Williams is with the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science at Virginia Tech. He’s demonstrating 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing.
Williams: So, traditional manufacturing, it’s all subtractive, meaning we take a block of material, and we subtract, the material that we don’t want to get to the product that we do want. Now, the challenge with subtractive manufacturing is that it inherently constrains what we can make because there’s only certain types of designs that we can put in and subtract away material, but those constraints are completely eliminated with additive manufacturing.
We take a model, and we slice that model into cross-sectional layers and we make, or we print, each layer one at a time from the bottom of the part all the way to the top. And when you do things in an additive context, you’re able to make new and exciting products that can be optimized to have the best types of performance that we would like. So, what we can start making, for example, is what’s called a cellular material.
So, we see these types of materials in nature. Things like honeycomb or wood or coral or even our bones are these lightweight materials that have incredible stiffness and strength, and it has to do with the internal porosity, the holes that are within these structures. And humans, have always had a hard time making these types of structures with traditional manufacturing, but with additive, we can make these structures with ease. This allows us to make these types of cellular materials that are very lightweight, but yet very stiff and rigid.
Pulse of the Planet is made possible in part by the National Science Foundation. I’m Jim Metzner

The challenges continue for New Zealand’s top eventers but there is still a lot to be excited about says ESNZ high performance general manager Jock Paget as he announces the new squads for 2022.
There aren’t a lot of changes to the squads, with world no.3 and no.5 Tim and Jonelle Price the only riders on the High Performance Squad. Jonelle has Grovine de Reve, while Tim has Xavier Faer and Falco.
The Olympians and World Equestrian Games representatives also feature on the High Performance Recognition Squad – Jonelle with Classic Moet and Faerie Dianimo, and Tim with Ringwood Sky Boy.
Jock says the High Performance Futures Squad is strong, with opportunity for some of those combinations to push for spots at the FEI World Championships Eventing later this year.
The squad features Amanda Pottinger with Just Kidding, Bundy Philpott and Tresca NZPH, Clarke Johnstone on Aces High, Dan Jocelyn aboard Blackthorn Cruise, James Avery with Mr Sneezy, Rio Olympian Jesse Campbell on Diachello, Jonelle with both McClaren and Grappa Nera, Maddy Crowe with Waitangi Pinterest, Matthew Grayling and Trudeau, Monica Oakley on Artist, Tim Price with Vitali, and Samantha Lissington with both Ricker Ridge Rui and Ricker Ridge Sooty GNZ.
“Things have not been easy for riders over the last couple of years with a lack of opportunity to show form and gain momentum,” says Jock. “As we move through another cycle it is exciting to see Clarke, Bundy, Amanda and Maddy all relocating to the United Kingdom for their respective campaigns.”
The High Performance Potential Squad includes Abby Lawrence, Abigail Long, London Olympian Caroline Powell, Christen Lane, Ginny Thompson, Hollie Swain and Tayla Mason.
The Talent Development comprises Beth Wilson, Vicky Browne-Cole and Lucy Turner.
Making up the Talent ID Squad are Alena Dorotich, Brittany Fowler, Charlotte Penny, Jasmyne Speake, Kelli Frewin and Rosa Millar.
Front of mind for many equestrians will be the World Games, which this year has been split between Denmark and Italy – Denmark will host the dressage, para-dressage, vaulting and showjumping in August, with Italy hosting the eventing and driving in September.

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do
Trista and I had been dating for a while, when I finally got the nerve to tell her how I felt about her. We were sitting in my car outside her apartment when I took a deep breath and said, I love you. I said it softly and quickly, that way I could back track if I need to without to much embarrassment. But she looked at me and said, I love you too. That was the happiest moment of my life. I don’t remember driving back to campus, or going to bed, or really anything else that happened that night.
Fast forward a little over a year. We were married and there was a man in the church where we were working that started a vicious rumor about me. When I first heard what he was saying I was mad and wanted to show him how Jesus treated the money changers in the temple. But my anger quickly turned to dread, I had a new bride and what would she think if she heard this rumor. Would she believe me? Would she believe the rumor? I wasn’t sure what to do next. The rumor was untrue, but I didn’t know how Trista would react. I went home and sat down at the table with her and told her what was being said, and who was saying it. She looked at me with pain in her eyes and then she said one of the most life affirming things I have ever heard. She simply said, I trust you.
I trust you. Those were words of strength and words of hope. As I reflect on that season of my life, I am struck by the fact that very often love and trust are not the same thing. We love people, we feel certain ways about people, we get all warm and fuzzy, or our hearts go pitter patter. Love is a beautiful thing. But trust that’s completely different. People can openly declare their love for one another, and then stew in their jealousy because love is not trust. Loving you, feeling a certain way about you, has everything to do with me. But when I trust that’s a deeper level of intimacy.
I believe that’s why Solomon writes in our text Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Solomon knew there was a difference between loving God and trusting Him. I love God, I feel a certain way about Him. When life is going well, or when life is in the midst of that predictable routine; I love God.
But when we get to the other side of the road, when I am in the midst of a crisis and nothing seems to be going right. When it seems that any choice I make is going to be the wrong choice. When everything is falling apart at the seems, it’s not enough to simply feel a certain way about God. It’s not enough to say, I love God. Solomon says if you are going to be wise, then you must learn how to trust God completely. Trust His actions or His lack of actions in your life and your situation. And honestly that’s a call to a depth in our relationship with God where many Christians come up short.
Solomon is very specific about where our trust must lie. Trust in the Lord completely. Not kind of trust Him, not mostly trust Him, but trust Him completely. Is this a safe place to admit that we often times wonder if God trustworthy and reliable? We probably don’t express those doubts out loud, but honestly it’s a reasonable question. Do you trust a God you cannot see? Let me say something that someone here desperately needs to hear this morning, every Christian in the history of the Church has had moments of doubt. Even Peter, the guy who walked with Jesus, was a part of the inner circle, and held the keys to the kingdom, had his doubts.
My concern is that there is a possibility our trust in God is only theoretical and intellectual. Solomon is not calling us to theoretically Trust in the Lord completely. He is saying we must trust God from the core of who we are. Do I really trust Him, do I rely upon Him?
We measure our trust in God with every decision we make, the way we live each day, the way we relate to other people, in every decision we make and every action we take. When we decide to tell the truth when we are tempted to lie, or give money we are tempted to hoard it for ourself, decisions to forgive when something in us would like to retaliate. Love is abstract, trust is concrete.
I can love God, I can love things about God, but if I am going to trust Him then I must be willing to know Him. The more I know about God, the more I understand the depth of His trustworthiness. When you trust the Lord, it means you have learned to lean on Him; rely on Him; to commit everything you are and everything you need to His care. It means trusting God when life gets crazy and nothing makes sense. But it also means when things are peaceful, calm, and even boring that you trust His character, His integrity, and His divine attributes.
There are times in life when God seems so near, times when everything we believe seems to work. We pray for the sick and they get healed. The rain is coming down in sheets and we find a parking spot by the front door in the Target parking lot. Those are fun times, those are the times when it’s easy to trust the Lord completely.
But it’s a different story when it feels like God is a million miles away, busy with something or someone else. The person you are praying for passes away, or you not only don’t get the promotion you get laid off, or someone else pulls into that parking spot right before you get there. Trusting God completely means that I trust Him especially when nothing is making sense.
We can’t just say we trust God. Trust is seen in the way we Trust His Purposes.
When you are going through a difficult time in life, we need to remember that God is just, God is good, and God is merciful. The bedrock of faith is our ability to trust that God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. The one who was trustworthy yesterday when everything seemed to be working is the same God who is trustworthy when everything is falling apart and tomorrow when the circumstances will be different again.
God loves You. His thoughts toward you are good and not evil. Very often we read Romans 8:28 where Paul says And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose then we forget to read the very next verse that says For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son.
God is at work in your life fulfilling His purpose to conform you to the image of His Son, to make us like Jesus. He is working all things all these experiences together for our good so that we are conformed to the image of His Son. My purpose in life is to be the image bearer of Jesus. It doesn’t matter in the light of eternity if I am rich or poor, sick, or healthy, happy or struggling, popular or ignored. The only things that matters is if I’m fulfilling my purpose in life, and that’s to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this community, to be the light of Christ in this dark community.
And our trust is God is seen in the way we Trust His Plan.
We read in Ephesians 2:10 For we are the product of His hand, heaven’s poetry etched on lives, created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago. God has a plan for you and us. He has great things to accomplish through this Church Body. If we will just get up every day and obey God, His plan will get accomplished. We don’t have to know the whole plan. Actually in my own life it’s better if I just trust God and forget trying to figure out what He wants me to do next. Because, when I get involved in the planning I try to accomplish it by my own strength and intellect. I am always better off just knowing what we need to know now in order to obey.
As I look back on my journey with Christ, I can honestly say 20 years ago, I would not have imagined myself working with a community of Faith in Anniston Alabama. But I can tell you that every day that I have trusted God’s plan, I have always been where I needed to be. God doesn’t ask me to evaluate His plan. He simply calls me to trust Him enough to follow where He leads. He calls me to have that conversation, offer hospitality, forgive, embrace, and share. Each day, one day at a time, to simply follow where He leads.
In my life, trusting God has been like skydiving. When that red light comes on and the door is thrown open, you can either trust the parachute enough to jump out of the plane or you can stand on the edge of the plane talking about various theories of gravity and aerodynamics. But unless you actually jump out of the plane you can’t be called a skydiver. Faith is shown by action. Are we willing to surrender control and obey God, trusting His plan? Our text this morning is calling for you to make a decision to trust God enough to do what He says to do.
Trusting God means we refuse to lean on your own opinions.
The command to trust the Lord is reinforced by the command to not trust our own understanding and intelligence. We don’t naturally want to love God and love others. I mean if someone slaps me on the cheek, my natural understanding tells me, if I slap him back harder my problem will be solved. Yet Jesus says I am supposed to turn the other cheek, and trust God to defend me. I have to have enough faith in God to do it His way, trusting Him to defend me if I indeed need defending.
Our world has its own way of achieving greatness. The disciples were fussing and fighting with one another, trying to figure out who was the greatest. Yet, Jesus’ way to greatness was the exact opposite of what their understanding was telling them. They thought you raced for the best seat, climbed the ladder to success. But Jesus said, if you really want to be great then serve others. God’s Kingdom has been called the upside down kingdom, not because God is wrong, but because Godliness is not the bedrock of our human nature.
Abraham is a great example of someone who trusted God, we even call him the father of faith. When God told him to leave him and follow when He lead, Abram obeyed not knowing where that obedience would take him. His finest hour was when God told him to do something that was radically contrary to his own understanding. All the promises God had given Abraham were to be fulfilled through Isaac. Yet God told Abraham to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice to Him. What did Abraham do? He obeyed.
But there were some tests Abraham failed along the way. When a famine came his understanding told him to solve the problem by going to Egypt. That just got him into another situation where his own understanding told him to lie about Sarah being his wife. Abraham and Sarah leaned upon their own understanding and Ishmael was born, which is still causing issues in our world today.
Don’t think that you are better than Abraham. Events will come into our lives that naturally cause us to ask why? Why is this happening? Why is it happening to me? What have I done to deserve this? Why isn’t this working the way I planned it? Why, Why, Why?
God is not sacred of those questions. He is not offended when we ask them. But often His answer is simple, Don’t lean on your own understanding. As strange as it may sound, often the answer to why is trust Me. Especially when it goes against our understanding and makes no sense.
When my brother in law was younger he spent some time working on a dive rescue team. He was telling us a story about working in a river that was really murky and dark. He was down there for a while and eventually he lost his bearings and could not tell which way he needed to swim to get to the surface of the water. He said if it wasn’t for the bubbles he would have drown. I had to look confused because he explained when you are in water and you have lost your bearings all you have to do is look for the air bubbles, they always go to the top of the water. There are times you feel like you are upside down, or going the right way when actually you are going deeper. In those times you have to trust the bubbles even when your mind tells you that you are going the wrong way.
That has been my experience of what it feels like to trust God. Sometimes circumstance, or my own emotions, are telling me to do something contrary to what is actually wise. Those are the times that I need to trust my the bubbles, we must trust God.
Finally in all your ways acknowledge Him.
Trust is not apathy, trust means that we stand ready to act. Trust lives in constant recognition of Gods presence and His involvement. In Daniel 3 we read this great retelling of the time when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were brought before Nebuchadnezzar. Everyone had been ordered to worship this golden image the king had set up, but they refused to bow down. Nebuchadnezzar told them if they didn’t bow down they would be thrown into the fiery furnace. They couldn’t stand against the king or save themselves, but they knew they were not ultimately at the mercy of Nebuchadnezzar. They acknowledged and counted on God’s involvement and in verse 16 they say:
Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to defend our actions in this matter. We are ready for the test. If you throw us into the blazing furnace, then the God we serve is able to rescue us from a furnace of blazing fire and release us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if He does not, O king, you can be sure that we still will not serve your gods and we will not worship the golden statue you erected. (Daniel 3:16-18)
These three men are willing to trust God with their lives. They know God is with them if He rescues them, but they are willing to trust Him even if He doesn’t. We are being called to trust that God is with us when things are going our way. And we are being called to trust God even when they don’t.
In all your ways means in everything you do. I love how Eugene Patterson translates this passage in The Message, Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!
If Greenbrier is going to thrive, we must be filled with women and men who live life recognizing that no matter what it may look like, God sits in the heavens. He rules it all and nothing gets by Him. There’s nothing He can’t do and there’s nothing He can’t fix. There is no problem too big or too little for Him to solve. There is a confidence available to us if we will acknowledge Him in all we do.
God makes a promise at the close of our text. If we will trust Him rather than relying upon our own understanding, if we will acknowledge Him in all our ways He promises to make our paths straight. He will go before you and prepare the way. Last week I had a meeting in Atlanta and as I was driving down the interstate it struck me that someone went before me and prepared the road. I can travel down it safely because of the hard work someone has done in my behalf. The person who puts his trust in the Lord has a highway of grace to travel upon. God will make for you and me a way where there seemed to be no way.

On Saturday, September 10, 2022, several community organizations participated in “Passports to Hope” – Creating Hope Through Action, a World Suicide Prevention Day event. Held at the Cornwall Public Library, the event was co-hosted by the Suicide Prevention Coalition and CMHA Champlain East.
Each organization that was present at this event plays an important role in supporting the mental health of individuals in Cornwall and the counties.
Local organizations with a table at the event included the Mental Health and Addictions Centre, Inspire Community Services, Men Talk, Bereaved Families of Cornwall, United Way, MOOD Kits by Emily Millar, EOHU, The Glengarry Mental Health Initiative, Diversity Cornwall, Seaway Valley Community Health Centre, l’équipe psycho-sociale, Parent’s Lifeline, and more.
Participants were asked to interact with each table, learn a little about the services they provide, and get a password to put on their ‘passport’. Those who collected the most passwords were entered in a draw to win $100 in wellness supplies and other prizes.
Throughout the two-hour event there were several guest speakers. The first speaker, Katelin Morrissette, led the group in a mindfulness and breathing exercise. She stressed the importance of finding time to be in the present moment in a culture that often measures our worth by how much we do.
The next guest speaker was Sergeant Scott Coulter, who oversees crime prevention in the city. Part of his duties include supervising the VSMART (Vulnerable Sector Mobile Acute Response Team) program.
“If you asked a police officer 10… 15… 20 years ago what policing was all about it would be like getting into that car chase, foot chase, doing drug raids, kicking down doors and all that good TV stuff,” said Coulter, “but the reality of it is, catching bad guys has slipped down on the list and we deal with people in crisis on a daily basis now.”
The VSMART unit consists of a specially trained police officer and a social worker employed through the hospital. The VSMART team responds to calls in plain clothes. They also arrive in a grey, unmarked vehicle to put those in crisis who may be wary of police more at ease. One of the primary goals of the VSMART unit is to reduce apprehensions within the vulnerable sector.
After Sergeant Coulter, Emily Millar was asked to come up and talk about her MOOD Kits. A registered psychotherapist in the area, Millar developed her MOOD Kits during the pandemic to encourage people to acknowledge their feelings and take an active role in their mental wellness. These kits include a list of Emergency Mental Health Contacts and an invitation to create a Safety Plan for those with low mood and/or suicidal ideation.
Mitch, a volunteer with the CMHA, shared his powerful testimonial of growing up as a gay transgendered individual who has found self-love and acceptance after several suicide attempts.
Jessabelle Pettipas, a representative of CAPSA (Community Addictions Peer Support Association) also spoke at the event. Pettipas shared her story of institutionalization, long-term recovery (she will be six years sober in November), and her passion for removing stigma when it comes to speaking about mental health.
To wrap up the event, members of the Glengarry Mental Health Initiative were presented with the Living Works Community Impact Award after their very first fundraiser, a soccer tournament, raised more than $35,000 to support mental health in Cornwall and SDG.
This inspiring group of six young adults noticed the prevalence of mental illness, addiction, and suicide in our community and decided to act. With the help of Emily Millar, they compiled a list of services available in our community so people who are struggling know where to turn.
The Glengarry Mental Health Initiative will also be putting 10 MOOD Kits with mental wellness tools into each high school in the area and plan to fund subsidized therapy for those in need in our community.
Missed this event? Many of these community partners will be back for the 2nd annual Recovery Day Cornwall taking place at Lamoureux Park from 11am-4pm on Saturday, September 24th.

Stirling dishes being dismantled in Peoria
- Staff Phoenix Business Journal
The last of Stirling Energy Systems' concentrated solar power dishes are coming down at a power plant the company built in Peoria.
Phoenix Business Journal reporter Patrick O'Grady wrote the power plant is being dismantled by its new owners after the Scottsdale-based Stirling filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last year.
The 1.5-megawatt plant was purchased earlier this year for $250,000.

Historic Fort Vancouver
In this short video from www.howtogardenvideos.com, Yolanda Vanveen visits with park volunteer Shelly in period costume at the Ft. Vancouver Heritage Garden in Vancouver, Washington. In this series of quick sustainable tips, Yolanda learns tips from a historical garden from the past to use in the future. Fort Vancouver was originally built in 1825 further away from the river on the bluff. When it was determined that the plain did not flood, they moved the fort to the current location by the Columbia River. The garden was originally much larger. The original settlers sustained themselves on stews and soups with vegetables from the garden. Eventually they experimented with and grew many warm climate plants including lemons and cotton in a summer house. When the Whitman’s stayed at Fort Vancouver, Narcissa Whitman described it as the New York of the Pacific because they had such a variety of foods. Vancouver, Washington was the first settlement on the West Coast following the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The sustainable gardens are not the only attraction. Inside Fort Vancouver there are museums, demonstrations and artifacts to discover.
Ft. Vancouver Heritage Garden Facts
Established in 1825 by the British Hudson’s Bay Company, Fort Vancouver was once the headquarters of all trade in the Northwest. To feed the population, the fort operated farms and had a 7-acre garden filled with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. Today, the fort and vegetable garden have been re-created. All the vegetables in this garden, including British soldier beans, citron, yellow pear tomatoes and dozens of others, are heirlooms. So are the herbs and flowers. For that matter, so are some of the gardeners. They dress in period attire and bring to life some of the original workers of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
According to Oregonlive.com, the one-acre re-creation of the garden that once flourished outside the Hudson’s Bay Co. stockade gate greets visitors to the national historic site, thanks to the work of 50 or so gardening volunteers who ensure that its historical roots are preserved. Teeming with potatoes, currants, pumpkins and beans, the garden also features ornamental flowers and herbs. All are grown with heirloom seeds, some from historical seed catalogs, but many collected by volunteers and all linked to the fort’s early days. Produce fuels the fort’s interpretations of pioneer cooking, and the surplus is donated to a Vancouver food bank.
When the growing season begins to wane, Pat Green and others begin collecting flower and produce seeds. Some, such as scarlet runner and ‘Jacob’s Cattle’ beans, are saved for planting in the garden next spring. Others are packaged and sold at the visitors center of the Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust to support the garden. Fort Vancouver’s heritage garden is balanced with geometric beds of herbs, flowers, and fruit- and vegetable-bearing plants like those grown during the fort’s heyday in the mid-1800s.
Green began collecting seeds at the fort 18 years ago. She takes some home and starts them in flats every spring until, free from the threat of frost, they are ready to plant in the fort garden. “We use heirloom seeds just like the ones grown here in the 1800s,” says Green, who maintains the garden’s authenticity by supplementing collections with seeds from heirloom seed banks throughout the country.
The original Hudson’s Bay Co. garden, started in 1825, was about eight acres. It helped make the fort less dependent on food from London, which was costly to ship. Today’s garden features representative samples of the kinds of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers grown at the fort about 1845. “The garden at the fort played a pivotal role as far as what was ultimately grown in the Northwest,” says Jim Pestillo, another volunteer. “Early settlers came off the Oregon Trail starving and exhausted. They saw what was grown here at the fort and took the idea with them when they set up their own farms in the Willamette Valley.”
Most of the volunteers have their own gardens at home, and some are master gardeners. But a sense of stewardship keeps them coming back to the fort. “It’s a connection with the Earth,” says Green, “and all those who will come after me.” Oregonlive.com http://www.oregonlive.com/hg/
Whether you have a small backyard garden or are a serious Prepper, don’t forget to learn from history and use organic material in your garden including compost and mulch and add heirloom vegetables such as cabbage, fruits and perennial flowers to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators.

A 12V DC motor won’t work with 220V AC supply. All you can do is buy a transformer step down transformer and a rectifier(easily available for 50–60 rupees in any electrical shop). This can make the motor work. It steps down AC supply to 12 V and covert it into DC with the help of rectifier.
Can a DC motor work on AC current?
We already know that in a DC Series motor the field winding has very less resistance than a DC Shunt Motor as the field is connected in series with the Armature Winding. So if we give AC supply on a DC Series Motor it will run perfectly. In fact, DC Series can run on both AC and DC supply.
Can you run a 12 volt motor on 24 volts?
Therefore, provided you chose a controller suitable for the motor you use, you can usually run a motor 12v motor from a 24v battery with no effect except that full speed is doubled.
Can I use a switching power supply to drive a DC motor?
A simple unregulated analog power supply may be easier and be able to supply the large starting under load current more that the switching one. DC motors are not too fussy about the supply, and will usually run quite well on unfiltered DC.
How do you run AC with a DC motor?
A DC motor can be run on AC by rectifying the AC source, providing the supply voltage and available current from the circuit is sufficient for the rating of the motor. To run an AC motor off a DC supply requires a DC-AC converter.
What happens if a DC motor is fed with AC supply?
When AC supply is given to DC series motor:
An AC supply will exert unidirectional torque because the direction of armature current and field current reverses at the same time and the direction of rotation will as it is.
How do I get 12V output?
Hello Quoraian! To get a 12V output from an Arduino Uno Board you need to use the Vin and GND pin as terminals. Vin would give the maximum voltage being provided to the board ( if board is supplied 9V then Vin would supply 9V and likewise).
How can we convert AC to DC at home?
Divide the AC voltage by the square root of 2 to find the DC voltage. Since an AC power supply sends voltage in alternating waves, DC voltage will be lower once you convert it. Write out the formula VAC/√(2) and replace VAC with the AC voltage you found with your multimeter.
What is the maximum voltage you can use on a 12V DC motor?
12 V motor will work well with 12 V battery, and will be fine up to the maximum voltage the battery goes when fully charged. This means it will work well up to 14 V.
What will happen if I run a 24 volt DC motor on 12 volts?
24v hooked to 12v will spin for a while on a full battery but there will be no torque. You could stop it with your hand. It is like running your motor with half the spark plugs missing.
How do you power a 12 volt DC motor with a battery?
You can make an easy experiment using a small DC motor: connect it on a DC power supply of nominal voltage of the motor (ex. the power supply is 12V and power up a 12V motor). Now squeeze the shaft and the speed is going down, let it free and the speed is going up again to the specific value of speed for 12V.
How many volts does a DC motor need?
Typical DC motors may operate on as few as 1.5 Volts or up to 100 Volts or more. Roboticists often use motors that operate on 6, 12, or 24 volts because most robots are battery powered, and batteries are typically available with these values. Operating Current.

Challenge to bring lifestyle products amidst tightening emission norms: Maruti
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has been eluding launching lifestyle products for a while now but the imminent arrival of the Jimny off-roader marks a significant change in direction for India’s largest automaker. However, it is challenging to bring lifestyle offerings to the market amidst tightening emission norms, admitted a senior company official while speaking to HT Auto.
CV Raman - Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Maruti Suzuki said that the new CAFE norms made it difficult for automakers to bring more lifestyle products, which may not necessarily meet the overall CO2 emission requirements. Nevertheless, he iterated that there is a need to make lifestyle vehicles more environment-friendly.
“You know that's always a challenge because these are lifestyle products and lifestyle products, and the four-wheel drive and what it represents always has an impact on the overall CO2 impact for the fleet. We have factored the reduced CO2 into this. But having said that, what I can also say is that it is one of the best in class fuel efficiency as far as that kind of a product is concerned. They [engineers] have been able to keep the footprint of the vehicle small."
Also check these Cars
Models like the Jimny have always remained a heart-over-head purchase and the upcoming five-door version is no different. We drove the Jimny recently and echoed a similar decision. The SUV is light on its feet but gets a fairly simple 1.5-litre petrol engine missing out on mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid technologies that now come equipped on the newer cars from Maruti Suzuki. It also uses the K15B engine as opposed to the upgraded K15C seen on models like the Brezza.
But CV Raman emphasises that its lifestyle offerings also follow the same brand ethos as its more mainstream offerings. “We have kept it [Jimny] very nimble and light with the best power-to-weight ratio and thereby we are able to give a 19+ kilometre per litre even on the Jimny. So I think that is something which is very, very important and key to our product development strategy overall."
The Jimny 5-door claims a fuel efficiency figure of 16.94 kmpl on the manual and 16.39 kmpl on the automatic. Both variants get 4x4 as standard and the off-roader has already garnered over 30,000 orders even before prices are out. Clearly, there is strong demand for the Jimny with India being the first market to get the five-door version. However, future emission norms won’t make it easy for automakers to make exceptions for long.
Watch: Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV: First Drive Review
Raman san admits more needs to be done to align lifestyle offerings with the future norms that will only get more stringent from hereon. “In future, we have to look at other possibilities and see how to further ensure [feasibility]. Because on the fleet side, we will go much beyond and we are going to 24-25 kmpl on many of the models with certain technologies being there. So yes, the Jimmy does bring down the average, but it's a lifestyle product and it’s a product which we need to have in our portfolio. But we have to make it into an efficient product, which we have done."
It's also important to balance the scales and optimise potential, said CV Raman. “Having a bigger manufacturing footprint, bigger engines, not having technology incorporated which can reduce the CO2 is definitely a big no-no. Whenever we will do any product development we have to keep all these things in mind and then only introduce a product. Weight is important, CO2 output is very important and what it means from a use case and volume. We'll have to find the balancing from other segments if that is so. You have to optimise this and see how to make sure that you meet the regulatory requirements, meet the CAFE requirements and optimise the product development strategy and portfolio. From a brand perspective, this [Jimny] would be one of the lower ones from a CO2 perspective but having said that that is an important constituent of our portfolio," he added.
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door goes on sale on June 7, 2023, and takes on the Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha off-roader in the segment. It's also fairly loaded when compared to the Thar. While both SUVs are known to be rugged and heavy, the Jimny differentiates itself with its smaller proportions, light and nimble nature, and compact footprint. Pricing will be crucial for the Jimny’s success once it hits the Nexa showrooms pan India.

Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss pay and benefits proposals in the fiscal-year 2013 budget request unveiled Monday. CSBA has been surveying service members on how they view their benefits.
The Pentagon has unveiled details of a 10-year strategy for defense cuts — including reductions in military pay and benefits. But before any large-scale changes are made, service members should be given a chance to voice their opinions of their compensation packages, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary, a prominent defense think tanks argues. "The Pentagon is already starting to move to make changes in the compensation system," said CSBA senior fellow Todd Harrison. "And basically our point here is before we start tinkering with things, before we start making changes we need to understand first how service members actually view different parts of their compensation package."
Plans would reduce ground forces while bolstering sea and air power to counter perceived threat from Asia and Western Pacific.
Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to discuss how sequestration will affect defense managers and contractors. He said the threat of automatic, across-the-board cuts from sequestration will hang over DoD for the next year.
Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to discuss changes to military retirement.
A new Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis report says the Defense Department should look at improving value in military pay and benefits, not simply cutting. The report also calls for a BRAC-like commission to study service members' benefits.
Yes, but will it work?
Given the cuts made across the board in the proposed FY 2011 budget, Defense could easily have been considered low hanging fruit. So the biggest surprise may be no surprise at all, according to one analyst.

AUBURN, Ala. - Have a craving for a snack that's sweet and creamy? Try a hissing cockroach. Or, if you prefer something nutty flavored and crunchy, leaf-cutting ants are a fine choice, according to Takumasa (Demian) Kondo, a Ph.D. student in Auburn University's Department of Entomology who recently gave a seminar on entomophagy, the practice of eating insects.
Kondo first encountered insect cuisine is his native country of Colombia, where a snack of leaf-cutting ants is often available at marketplaces in villages along the Andes mountains. Later, as he traveled around Colombia and the world, Kondo learned that many cultures eat a wide variety of insects, and he has become quite the gourmet insect chef himself.
"The U.S. and Europe are developing countries in this area," Kondo said with a laugh. Though insects have long been consumed by humans (even Aristotle once waxed eloquently on the flavors of cicadas) and have played an important role in the history of human nutrition in western North America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America, they were not so readily accepted by Eurocentric cultures.
Reports from early European settlers in the United States often mentioned – with a mixture of disgust and fascination – the insect dishes and "cricket drives" common among the Native American cultures they encountered. Aphids (a source of sugar), grasshoppers, cicadas, beetle larvae and caterpillars were commonly consumed by Native Americans before European influence squashed this cuisine. Kondo noted that some people in the western states still eat honey ants, and periodical cicadas are still eaten in the southern states.
According to Kondo, there currently are two major "hot spots" of entomophagy, Thailand and Mexico. "In Mexico, more than 200 species are consumed," he said. Among them is the agave worm, a moth larvae often seen in bottles of mezcal, a drink similar to tequila.
"In Thailand, one thing that surprised me was that they ate scale insects," continued Kondo, who is researching scale insect pests for his doctoral degree. "Scale insects are usually tiny, but these were very large and belong to the family Margaroridae." Other favorites of the Thais are honey bees, giant water bugs, weaver ants and grasshoppers, to name a few. In Indonesia, dragonflies are a favorite and in Africa grasshoppers and termites often are consumed. Kondo noted that insects are both nutritious and delicious. Most insects are high in protein, carbohydrates and other nutrients and usually are low in fat, and they have distinctive flavors. Male giant water bugs have a minty taste, probably related to the taste of the male pheromones, leaf-cutting ants (also known as "big butt ants") have a walnut flavor, fire ant pupae taste like watermelon (though Kondo noted that the flavor of these critters may vary from site to site) and silk worm pupae taste sweet and creamy.
He also offered some hints on knowing which insects to eat. "Red, orange or yellow, forego this fellow; black, green or brown, go ahead and toss them down" is one rule of thumb to follow. "Usually, insects that have very colorful parts also have nasty smells or poisons, and usually dark colored insects are less likely to be toxic," he said. "But this is not always the case," he added. The best way to select edible insects is to read a reference book on insect eating, and most experts strongly suggest that all insects should be cooked before they are consumed.
Some insects are eaten for reasons other than nutrition and flavor, added Kondo. Several, including scorpions and Spanish flies (blister beetles), are considered aphrodisiacs and Kondo said some people claim these work as well as Viagra. Other insects are used as condiments, such as dried giant water bug, which is often used in soups.
"I don't want to shock anybody," said Kondo, "but I have to tell you the truth. We are all entomophagers. Many insects or insect parts are in our foods, including cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables and dried fruits." Kondo noted that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration fully recognizes that insects are impossible to bar from processed or fresh foods. The FDA does, however, regulate the amount of insects, insect parts or eggs that are permissible in foods. For example, a package of frozen broccoli may legally contain no more than 500 aphids and a can of mushrooms may contain up to 24 mites.
Many modern entomophagers contend that insects should be the food of the future. They note that insects are nutritionally superior to many other meat protein sources, such as beef and chicken. In addition, insects are abundant (some 1,500 species have been deemed "edible"), require less space to be produced and harvesting insects for food could reduce the need for chemical pest controls. Insects might also provide a new alternative crop for small farmers.
The idea is catching on, sort of. In the western U.S., various restaurants are offering insects dishes on their menus, and in some circles these dishes are considered haute cuisine. Typically, these dishes are found in restaurants that specialize in pre-Hispanic or pre-Colombian food, which include dishes eaten by native Mexicans before the Spanish arrived with their European tastes.
Some specialty food stores also are carrying more and more insect foods. Maguey worms (the larvae of the giant skipper butterfly) have been canned in Mexico for some time, and now they are being imported into the United States. Other imported insect foods include Japanese "Baby Bees" (fried bee pupae with teriyaki sauce) and fried grasshoppers and silkworm pupae. However, insect connoisseurs often turn up their noses at these items, believing that the best tasting insects are fresh ones.
If entomophagy does become more common, Kondo said today's genetic technology may allow science to develop a new line of super insects -- larger grasshoppers, for example. "I just hope they aren't so large we have to use guns," he said with another laugh.
In the meantime, Kondo and others with a craving for bug cuisine must forage for their own insect ingredients. Luckily, many edible bugs are in abundant supply around homes and in the woods. And Kondo is quite willing to share his own recipes. Giant Water Bug Tempura anyone?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
If you like Redheads and Ragdolls this little pair might be the perfect
combination. They are still a little shy but coming around. They were
taken young from our local shelter and fostered by a vet tech. Sadly,
this person fosters for a high kill shelter so once she got the kittens
"to weight' they had to be returned and put at risk for euthanasia. We
can't even begin to imagine the fortitude it takes to foster under those
conditions knowing that after you've poured a month or more of love and
TLC into your babies, you then may found out they got killed.
Thankfully our little pair is now safely in our kitten room waiting for
a foster home in Reno to have space to take them. They play play play
all day long with the other kittens but still tend to run under
something if we try to reach for them. One of them is getting pretty
friendly and both turn into little purr monsters if you hold them and
pet them. It's just the initial moment of contact that seems to frighten
them. That will change once they know our voices and figure out where
treats and toys are coming from.
If you are interested in adopting them and helping them through their
socialization process, let us know NOW! Otherwise, we expect Cyndy and
her daughter to have these boys super socialized by early to mid August.
Email Ellen@purebredsplus.org to let us know about your interest in this

Hey, Clan of the Cave Bear is going on TOUR, into the South then across the east coast-ish area. The tour schedule is on their myspace page, so go check them out. I don't know who reads this blog but they're playing Baltimore on 5/13, and Brooklyn on the 15th. They kill, so go see 'em.
The tour wraps up with this show at Now That's Class, with Behold... The Arctopus, and my favorite metalheads, Insurrect.
Here's some sketch love I did in my Cinema class while I was supposed to be taking notes.


Lauren White, 36, from Seacliff Park, SA, shares her story with Take 5:
My son, Ollie, seven, came home from school looking exhausted.
“I don’t feel well,” he said.
It was early March 2019, and Ollie was the most active and energetic kid.
Always on the go with his little sister, Clare, four, he loved riding his scooter and was an avid surfer, catching waves with his dad, Henry, 40, most weekends.
But Ollie didn’t perk up in the weeks that followed.
He lost his appetite, was lethargic, had a tummy ache and his eyes were tinged yellow.
“I’m going to take him to the local GP just to be safe,” I said to Henry.
From there, Ollie was referred to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital for blood tests.
They delivered some startling news.
“Ollie has acute liver failure,” the specialist said.
My legs buckled.
“There must be some mistake,” I uttered, distraught.
But there was no denying the tragic truth – suddenly our lives had been turned upside down as we struggled to believe our boy’s life was now hanging in the balance with a liver transplant the only option to save him.
We were transferred to Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, which specialises in paediatric transplants.
Ollie was catapulted to the top of the transplant list.
He’d deteriorated so quickly, with only 24 hours before his liver packed up completely.
By now Ollie was so sick he wasn’t really with it.
Miraculously, the next day a donor liver became available.
“You’re going to get a new liver to make you better,” I whispered as he was wheeled into theatre.
After the gruelling 10-hour transplant operation, Ollie’s surgery was a success.
While we crumpled with relief, Ollie had a long road to recovery ahead.
The hospital became our world for the next two months as Ollie fought his way back to health.
Finally, doctors said he could come home and as festive season crept closer, I was contacted by Make a Wish Foundation offering to grant a wish for Ollie after all he’d been through.
It was just what he needed.
“I’d love to surf with Mick Fanning,” he said.
Champion surfer Mick was Ollie’s hero and the Make a Wish team got to work.
Six weeks before Christmas I received a call.
“Mick would love to surf with Ollie,” their rep said.
Mick had even recorded a video message for Ollie saying how much he was looking forward to meeting him.
With Christmas around the corner, I decided to keep it a surprise and play Mick’s message to Ollie on Christmas Day.
Then on December 25, 2020, after we’d had dinner and opened all our pressies, I made an announcement.
“Ollie, I have one more present for you,” I said, plugging the USB into the TV.
Eyes widened and jaws dropped when Mick popped up on the screen and Ollie squealed with delight as he listened to the message.
“This is the best Christmas present ever!” he cried.
In June this year Make a Wish flew us all to Queensland and as we made our way to Green Mount Beach, Coolangatta, Ollie was a bag of nerves.
Finally arriving at the beach, we hopped out and saw Mick standing on the sand looking out at the ocean.
“Hey Ollie,” Mick said beaming from ear to ear. “Let’s catch some waves.”
For over an hour Mick made sure other surfers gave way to Ollie as he pushed him on to wave after wave.
“That was awesome,” Ollie said to Mick afterwards.
As we were about to say goodbye, Mick had other plans.
“Fancy getting something to eat?” he said.
Gobbling down pancakes and laughing and joking, we were cherishing every second, then Mick said he had one last surprise.
In the surf shop he owned nearby, he treated Ollie and Clare to a wetsuit and anything else they wanted in the store.
The kids hugged him tight, not wanting to let him go.
Ollie is 10 now and doing well.
Mick’s sprinkling of Christmas magic was Ollie’s all-time best present.
But for me, seeing my son smiling, happy and healthy, is the ultimate Christmas gift – I couldn’t ask for more.


text: I’ve begun taking a traditional photography class and it has done wonders for my depression. There is something to be said for physical film. The feeling of control and the soothing connection to the resulting photo. It’s not just a means to an end, it is the art of examining life and the control of developing the photo. Designed to share a point of view, the camera helps to focus the mind not just the world around you. And black and white film aids in viewing the world differently. Which is a necessity when one is depressed. If you can learn to view the world differently, perhaps it will look a little better.


The 2.0-liter gasoline engine Hyundai G4GF was assembled in South Korea from 1996 to 2002 and installed on the restyled Lantra J2, as well as the Coupe model and the American version of the Tiburon. Such a power unit is very actively used for swapping to other cars of the concern.
The engine was installed on:
- Hyundai Coupe 1 (RD) in 1996 – 2002;
- Hyundai Lantra 2 (RD) in 1998 – 2000.
|Fuel system||distributed injection|
|Power output, hp||139|
|Torque output, Nm||182|
|Cylinder block||cast iron R4|
|Block head||aluminum 16v|
|Cylinder bore, mm||82|
|Piston stroke, mm||93.5|
|Timing drive||chain & belt|
|Recommended engine oil||5W-40|
|Engine oil capacity, liter||4.0|
|Euro standards||EURO 2|
|Fuel consumption, L/100 km (for Hyundai Tiburon 2001)
|Engine lifespan, km||~330 000|
Disadvantages of the Hyundai G4GF engine
- The engines of the first years suffered from low build quality and some of their components;
- Due to poor-quality lubrication, hydraulic lifters can knock already by 100,000 km;
- The timing belt does not always run the scheduled 60,000 km, and when it breaks, the valves bend;
- On runs over 200,000 km, wear of rings, caps and oil consumption are common;
- Also, the exhaust manifold often bursts, even a recall campaign was carried out.

Nowadays architecture and photovoltaic solar energy can be combined to create a new form of construction.
Curtain walls offer architects a multitude of possibilities for the integration of photovoltaic solar energy into buildings in an efficient and ecological manner.
Photovoltaic curtain wall provides a multifunctional solution where not only clean and free energy is being generated in-situ, but also natural illumination is being provided implementing solar control by filtering effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior (enhancing thermal comfort and avoiding interior aging).
The large variety in form, structure and colour of transparent photovoltaic glass, combined with the aluminum frames, provides a free reign of creativity for architects so they can create designs which unite elegance, efficiency and energy saving.
Onyx Solar can customize the photovoltaic glass to supply it in different sizes, colours and degrees of transparency. These characteristics mean that it is the ideal material for installation as a photovoltaic curtain wall.
Semi-transparent double glazed photovoltaic insulating glass units can be incorporated into the project providing better thermal insulation properties.
Normally they consist of an external photovoltaic laminated glass of 0.24, 0.32, 0.40, 0.47, 0.59, 0.75 in (6, 8, 10, 12, 15 or 19 mm)thick, an air chamber of 16 mm for a greater thermal insulation performance, and an inner pane of 6 mm thick glass.
Additionally, Argon filling can be used with the chamber for a better thermal performance.
In order to achieve even better thermal insulation, semi-transparent triple glazed insulating photovoltaic glass units could be considered as a possible solution. Generally they consist of an additional inner pane of 0.24 in (6 mm) thick glass which is incorporated into the double glazed unit.
Argon filling can be used with the chamber for a better thermal performance in the same way that the previous case.

MakerBot has seen better days. It’s now cut 20 percent of its staff twice as it struggles to fulfill founder and former CEO Bre Pettis’ vision of a 3D printer in every home. Now, with a software update, MakerBot machines can print 30 percent faster. Hopefully, it will help sway the impatient toward additive manufacturing.
Technology is filled with all kinds of rumors and speculation — real and fabricated.BitStream collects all those whispers into one place to deliver your morning buzz.
To the uninitiated, 3D printing seems like a laborious process. It’s certainly not as easy as the “click print and done” dance normal 2D printers are used to. Although 3D printers have come a long way to becoming more user-friendly, it still takes hours or even days to print something out, depending on the size and amount of detail. MakerBot says its new software will cut down wait times by 30 percent and create even more stable support structures (those extra bits of hot plastic that make sure your creations don’t collapse due to the laws of physics).
MakerBot’s had a sobering reminder that not all “revolutions” are easy business, or even good business. But “faster” and “more efficient” are telling signs of progress. Let’s hope it keeps marching in that direction.
Bye, Bye, BlackBerry?: With the new Android-based Priv only days from launch, analysts have wondered if this smartphone is BlackBerry’s dying breath. According to Bloomberg, the Priv would have to at least sell better than last year’s Classic and Passport in order to keep the company alive. BB has said it will continue to support its own operating system along with its growing partnership with Google. Whether that will manifest in terms of new hardware? The Priv may be the deciding factor. [Bloomberg]
Amazon...Clothing?: At this point, the more poignant question to ask is what Amazon doesn’t want to do. According to Buzzfeed, Amazon is now testing the waters for creating its own clothing line. Many brands have been wary to tie their clothing to a website seen mostly as a “utility,” so Amazon might just do it itself. [Buzzfeed]
Samsung Giving Up on Digital Cams?: SamMobile reports that Samsung may be shutting down its digital camera business and re-allocate resources to medical and smartphone branches. What does that mean for you? Well, hopefully better smartphone cameras if the Galaxy makers get a huge influx of digital imaging brainpower. [SamMobile]

At livestock auctions these days, people are seeing more and more young calves. Ranchers say the drought is forcing them to downsize their herds and sell their calves earlier than normal.
"The weights of the calves we're selling is a little bit smaller than normal, things like that, so you're getting a little bit less per calf, but you're not having to take care of them quite as long," said Jeremy Wetovich of Fullerton.
"All our costs as far as replacements, feed, hay, everything's higher than it was last year," added Clay Forbes of Palmer.
Auction houses reported that prices were steady for the time, but ranchers said they believe the current conditions aren't sustainable. Most of all, they said they're worried about the consequences of a continued drought.
"If we don't get plenty of rain this next year, our stocking rates are probably going to be down to half or maybe a third in our pastures, and I mean, if everybody has that situation where they can only have a third to half as many cows in their pastures, that really affects your whole operation. You have to be selling younger cows and cows you normally wouldn't sell, and trying to get by with that many less calves to sell next year," Wetovich said.
"If the drought keeps going, if we don't get some moisture, you're going to see a lot of these people will be forced to sell their younger cows at a later date. If we don't get some moisture, probably February or March, if things don't get better for us," said Ken Rieken of the Fullerton Livestock Market.
Ranchers were also concerned that their elected representatives aren't getting them the help they need.
"It's just a little bit scary when they can't get stuff passed and agree on it," said Wetovich, referring to the farm bill. "And when you're going through really drought-type conditions, you need some of that help to help you get by so you don't go broke."
For now, many said they've just got to hang on for as long as they can.
"We've had good years the last couple of years, but things are going to get a lot more scary in the next year if we don't get some rain and it stays as dry as it has been," said Wetovich.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Jordan Martinook scored for the first time in more than two months to break a third-period tie as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Sunday night.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves for the Hurricanes, who’ve won back-to-back games following a stretch of four losses in five games to maintain first place in the Metropolitan Division.
“I feel like I’ve been getting chances and it’s hasn’t been going in,” Martinook said after a span of 24 games without a goal.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored first for the Islanders, who’ve lost two games in a row and three of their last five. New York is in playoff position, but only has four games remaining in a tight competition with multiple teams for the final two spots in the Eastern Conference.
“We did some good things and had good effort,” Pageau said. “We were a goal away.”
Ilya Sorokin stopped 33 shots for New York, which was outshot for only the second time in its last nine games.
Though they clinched a playoff spot more than a week ago, the Hurricanes are trying to stay ahead of New Jersey in the division.
“We have a job to do,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We want to finish as high as we can. That (Islanders) team is playing for their lives and I thought we looked like the team that was maybe a little more desperate. That says a lot about the group.”
Andersen won for the first time in his last four games (1-2-1), though he has a team-leading 20 wins.
Martinook, who has played in all 76 games, gave Carolina its first lead when he skated in from the blue line after taking a pass from Jaccob Slavin. His shot produced his 12th goal of the season, but the first since Feb. 1.
“He has been in just some bad luck,” Brind’Amour said. “He has been deserving of a goal like that.”
Pageau’s first goal in seven games marked his third tally in 10 games since returning from a 12-game absence. It came in transition with 2:27 left in the first period, giving him 13 goals this season.
Carolina countered with Kotkaniemi’s goal at 9:27 of the second. He ended a nine-game goal-less stretch with his 15th of the season.
Sorokin played on back-to-back days for the second time since Dec. 16 and 17. Coming off Saturday’s 5-0 loss at Tampa Bay when Sorokin was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals, this marked the Islanders’ final set of games on consecutive days.
The Hurricanes outshot the Islanders 28-14 through two periods.
“Chances were few and far between, but we were one shot away,” Islanders coach Lane Lambert said.
THREE FOR THREE
Carolina has used three different goalies in its last three wins. Antti Raanta posted a shutout Saturday night at Montreal, while Pyotr Kochetkov was sent back to the minor leagues since winning March 25 vs. Toronto.
“All three of us have very different personalities, and it’s fun to learn about and help each other out that way,” said Andersen, who has reached 20 wins in nine different seasons.
NOTES: RW Jesse Puljujarvi posted his first point with Carolina in 11 games since arriving in a trade from Edmonton. He assisted on Kotkaniemi’s goal. ... Islanders D Alexander Romanov sat out for only the second time this season and for the first time since Feb. 7. ... Hurricanes LW Teuvo Teravainen was scratched for the third game in a row because of illness.
Islanders: Host Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
Hurricanes: Host Ottawa on Tuesday night. ---

Success in the United States: Bilfinger wins major order valued at more than €100 million
Bilfinger has won an order worth more than €100 million in connection with construction of the Natgasoline methanol plant in the city of Beaumont in southeastern Texas. The customer is Orascom Engineering & Construction USA – a subsidiary of Orascom Construction Limited, listed in the stock exchange of Dubai – who is the EPC contractor for turnkey construction of the plant. With an annual production capacity of 1.75 million tons, the plant will be the largest in the US market and will help cover a significant portion of the country’s methanol needs. Production is expected to start in the second half of 2017.
“Bilfinger has gained an excellent reputation in US industry with the quality and reliability of its engineering and services. This also applies to complex assembly projects. The major order gives us an important boost in a challenging competitive environment”, says Tom Blades, CEO at Bilfinger SE.
Services provided by Bilfinger comprise complete mechanical assembly, including piping construction, steel construction as well as insulation, painting, scaffolding, corrosion protection, fire protection and turnover of complete mechanical systems. Nearly 1,900 tons of steel will be processed and over 65,000 meters of piping laid, requiring more than 34,000 welding seams. Total manpower at the project will peak at approximately 700, including 70 specialist welders, to complete the work by the end of April 2017.
