Jordanian bloggers continued to contemplate the “Ground Zero Mosque” and Quran burning incidents in the United States by calling for greater dialogue with the US. Jordanians discussed how Arabs and Muslims can best respond to the misconceptions of Muslims by U.S. citizens. Many bloggers, like Natasha of Mental Mayhem, have posted the story of young Muslims who planted flowers at a church in Amman rather than respond in protest.
These bloggers blamed the American media for focusing on provocative figures. Natasha wrote:
Sadly, for the US media this was a non-story. Who cared about a small, stable country like Jordan? Who cared about a handful of young Muslims delivering flowers when there were others demonstrating violently? Which one would get readers’ attention, violence or flowers? Sadly, the US media chose violence. Who can compete with death and blood? The sexier always wins…
The disappointing fact is that the US media failed twice in this case: first in blowing the story of the Florida priest out of proportion by giving this isolated, planned act (which never happened) more than its share of coverage, and bringing it to the attention of the global audience. The second was in ignoring acts of Muslim goodwill that would have clearly showed that while some Muslims might burn flags and effigies, there are others, like this group of young Jordanians, who would simply deliver flowers.
Jaraad, referring again to the Ohio minister, wrote:
She was very accurate of blaming the media accusing it of spreading fear among Americans.
But Jaraad also bemoaned the lack of respect for religious people in American politics. He wrote about the interview of Christine O'Donnell, the conservative Delaware Tea Party for the Senate.
The mockery, in the video, on O’Donnell is that she didn’t believe humans are an evolution of monkeys so she is stupid. Bill Maher even wonders how such person “could be in the senate” . In another word, he can’t imagine that someone who believes in God could be in the senate…According to seculars you can’t be a scientist and believe in God.
Ali concludes that the best way forward is not through U.S. media, but through direct interaction with U.S. citizens to explain to them the rationality of Islam and the moderation of most Muslims. He joined a group on Facebook called Arab Voices Speak to American Hearts. Through this group, he has explained his viewpoint on Islam and Jordan to American individuals who are curious for answers. For Ali, the purpose of this exercise is not to provide an alternative to U.S. media depictions. Instead, it is a way to directly oppose negative images of Arabs and Muslims.
If you ever thought of changing the world. Well here is a very reasonable way to do so. All you gotta do is talk with a American and in your way turn his/her thoughts away from what the media are telling them and then you will be convinced that at least you changed one mind and you'll be more encouraged to change another and another.

We’ve been treated to some lovely spring weather recently and, along with the glut of Bank Holidays that occur at this time of year, it’s been a perfect excuse to get out with our faithful friends and explore some of the wonderful Derbyshire countryside that’s on our doorstep. Poppy and Betty love nothing more than a day out walking, tearing around somewhere new. I’m not sure they spend as much time as I do admiring the views, but they certainly love all the different smells!
But, when it comes to walking our furry friends, how much exercise do dogs need? How much is too much … and how much is too little?
Well, a lot of this is dependent on the breed. Some smaller breeds, such as Chihuahuas or Yorkshire Terriers, have lower energy levels and need moderate amounts of exercise (still at least 1-2 walks per day) while others need 2 or more hours of exercise each day and some, specifically working breeds like Border Collies, will want significantly more than that, with plenty of mental stimulation too.
When you first start to walk your pup it’s hard to know what to do and there’s a lot of advice out there about walking puppies – how much, or how little exercise they should have (often it’s conflicting advice, too!). I personally think much of the advice on the internet is a little over-cautious. For example, there’s not really any evidence to support the ‘5-minute rule’ that you may have heard of (5 minutes of walking for every month of your pup’s age). You do need to be careful while your pup is still growing and their bones are still forming because too much exercise (or too much high impact exercise) can cause problems in later life and it’s definitely worth being more cautious with larger or giant breeds of dogs than with smaller breeds.
You shouldn’t start walking your pup until they’re fully immunised but, once they are, a walk is as much about exploring, getting used to the lead, socialising and investigating sights, sounds and smells as it is about exercising. Your excitable pup is a lot like a toddler and won’t always have the sense to stop when they’re tired, so you’ll have to take charge of the situation by putting them on the lead or taking them home when you think they’ve had enough!
Once your dog is fully grown (usually by the time they’re 1, although it could be up to 18 months for larger breeds like Great Danes or Dobermans) then it’s up to you to keep your dog fit and active. They will need exercise every day. That can include a variety of things like walking, swimming, running and agility … but remember that playing in the garden isn’t a suitable replacement activity for a walk. Just like humans, every dog will have its preferred forms of exercise (and some that they loathe!) – some dogs can’t keep out of water and are desperate for a splash at the mere sight of a stream, while others can’t stand getting their fur wet! Tis is definitely the case with my Poppy! Bear in mind that if you suddenly increase your dog’s exercise levels or introduce them to something new, they’re going to feel it (just like you would!). They’ll be perfectly fine with a couple of days of longer walks over the weekend or on holiday (provided they haven’t got any health conditions) but, if you’re going away on a dedicated
walking holiday (like a coast to coast walk) or taking up running with your dog, for example, you’re going to have to build up their stamina. In the same way that you couldn’t suddenly get up and run a marathon, your dog can’t either! If your dog has been unfit, overweight or had little exercise in the past (for example, if you’ve adopted a dog that hasn’t been exercised regularly) again you’ll need to ease them into exercising, gradually – but, once they’ve built up their fitness levels, you’ll be amazed what they’re capable of!
If you’re thinking of increasing what you and your dog do together, for peace of mind it’s worth having them checked over by the vet, to make sure they’re up to the challenge. They’ll also be able to advise you on your dog’s diet, to ensure they’re getting the right nutrition for their age, breed and activity levels.
Of course, another thing to be aware of when you’re embarking on a hike with your faithful hound is the weather. On really hot days avoid walking your dog in the warmest part of the day, and steer clear of roads and pavements as the asphalt can get very warm in the sun and burn your dog’s feet. And it goes without saying that they’ll need regular access to water to keep them hydrated, too.
Just like us humans, as dogs get older they do tend to slow down a bit or they can sometimes develop health issues that may affect how much they’re able to walk – but it’s still really important to take them out regularly and keep them as active as possible. You’ve heard the phrase ‘use it or lose it’ … well, that applies to dogs, too! If they’re not walked often then their joints may suffer more from stiffness and they can lose their mobility. It’s generally better to exercise older dogs for shorter periods of time, but more regularly – so they might prefer four short walks a day instead of two long ones. The PDSA offer some excellent advice on walking older dogs. In their more senior years walking is just as important for dogs’ mental stimulation, too – keep up their routine and keep them active as much as possible.
Right, talking of walking … it’s a beautiful evening and it’s time I took my two out to stretch their legs. ‘Poppy! Betty! Walkies…!’
Until next time, happy walking!

As speculation over Declan Rice’s future continues to swirl, one of his brothers may have just confirmed his next move.
Rice, 24, has continued to impress with West Ham this season and scored his fifth goal of the campaign in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Leeds – matching his best goals return in a single campaign.
He will hope to set a new record in the remaining weeks of the season, with West Ham taking on Leicester on the final day of the Premier League campaign before facing Fiorentina in the UEFA Conference League final on June 7.
Rice has already rejected the offer of a new contract in West Ham and is entering the final two years of his current deal at the London Stadium.
Arsenal are strong favourites to sign the England international this summer, with Chelsea also interested in the midfielder.
West Ham are expected to demand at least £100m for Rice, who was spotted doing his own lap of honour after West Ham’s win over Leeds in their final home game of the season.
Another moment after the match may have provided a clue over Rice’s long-term career plans.
One of his brothers, either Connor or Jordan, was spotted chatting with West Ham manager David Moyes after the final whistle.
In a clip circulating on social media, Rice’s brother appears to say the words ‘final game’ to Moyes.
While he may have been referring to the club’s final home game of the season, or potentially the upcoming final against Fiorentina, he could also have been speaking about his brother and a move away this summer.

Danelo Cavalcante, the convicted killer who escaped from a Pennsylvania jail on August 31, was spotted overnight with a new look and driving a stolen van.
"He changed his appearance," said thePennsylvania State Police. "He is now clean-shaven and was wearing a yellow or green hooded sweatshirt, black baseball-style hat, green prison pants, and white shoes."
The 34-year-old was captured on video through a Ring Video Doorbell, which he tried to use to contact an associate of his, police said.
He had been operating a white 2020 Ford Transit van with license plate number ZST8818, but police presume he ditched it after running out of gas. The Chester County District Attorney said the van, which had keys inside, was reported stolen by a local dairy farm, Baily's Dairy. Cavalcante was also wearing a hoodie stolen from the farm.
It appears the fugitive continues to head west while trying to contact associates of his, police said. Police have an area they are investigating where they are trying to set up a perimeter. Police could not confirm its location.
This is the latest sighting as the manhunt enters its 11th day. There have been a number of other credible sightings since the prisoner escaped when he climbed a wall and over razor wire at the Chester County Prison.
Surveillance video of the escape showed Cavalcante bracing his hands against one wall and his feet against another as he navigated upward and out of view.
At least 400 officers have reportedly joined in the search for the fugitive.
Cavalcante's escape came two weeks after he was convicted of first-degree murder over the 2021 killing of his former girlfriend, 33-year-old Deborah Brandão. Officials said he stabbed Brandão 38 times in front of her two children, who are now in her sister's care, according to CNN.
The U.S. Marshals Service has said Cavalcante is also wanted in his home country of Brazil over a 2017 homicide case, CNN said.
Officials fired the prison guard who allowed Cavalcante to slip away on his watch, according to The Associated Press. The Chester County Guard served 18 years as a corrections officer and was in the watch tower when the killer broke free.
A $20,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the capture of Cavalcante, police said.
Pennsylvania police urge anyone with information to call 911 or the tip line at (717) 562-2987.

AP residents are eagerly awaiting the return of young golf professionals to our Sound Golf Links for the 4th Annual Biggs Cadillac Buick GMC Classic to be played from June 28th to July 1st. But two changes await the golfers.
First, our golf pro, Kenny Saunders, will not be here to greet them as he has in the past. Kenny has moved on to greener pastures (see A Farewell to Kenny on page 5), and his leadership baton has been passed to Buddy Lawrence who is not only our Interim General Manager, but a long-time certified PGA professional himself.
The second change will be the absence of professional tour organizers like NGA, E-Golf, and Swing Thought. This year’s tournament will be run by Albemarle Plantation’s army of competent and committed volunteers with three years of experience under their belt.
The golfers will like this second change. In the past, tour organizers took 20% of entry fees collected to cover their expenses. This year, 100% of entry fees ($900 per contestant) will be returned as prize money to the golfers. Even better, an additional $10,000 is added to the purse from sponsorship funds raised by the fund-raising committee, which will be distributed as prize money with the first place tournament champion receiving $5,000, $3,000 for the second-place winner, and $2,000 for third.
And let’s not forget that many of our young pros can stay with a host family for the entire week, sparing them the cost of staying in a hotel—and getting home cooking in the process. The word is spreading about our exceptional hospitality and our great golf course. That’s why we’re confident of a great player turnout this year.
If you have not already volunteered to be a host or a tournament volunteer, please call Buddy or the Pro Shop, and you will be directed to the appropriate volunteer group leader. The course is in tip-top shape, our doors are open, and the volunteers are ready. All we need now is a little sunshine.

I'm picky about every aspect of pizza. Can't have too much cheese. Can't be underdone or soggy. Needs a certain amount of crust and that crust needs to have the right texture and crunchiness at the edge. Need just the right amount of sauce and it can't be too sweet. Fresh ingredients helps.
Rizzi's gets high marks on all these criteria. Plus, the rest of their menu is really good. Their extra crispy jojos are the best.
Rizzi's pizza costs slightly more, but it is worth it.
Very good Italian food at a very fair price.Too bad they do not have a wine and beer license. Chanti would go gr8 with most of the menu.... especially the spaghetti meals and pizza.
Was a little slow but the food was the best. Had free wifi and was nice to sit down. Grandmas recipient cheese cake was amazing.
The fried chicken is Super delicious. My sister (Roslyn) took me there during my visit back home to Akron. My only concern is that they wanted to charge me for the 'hot sauce'......uhhhhhhhhh really??? I've never heard of a place that serves fried chicken and charges for the hot sauce........guess next time I'm in the Akron area, I'll have to travel with my Floridian 'hot sauce'.
Food is fantastic here! Long-time customer. You can’t go wrong with ordering here. Pizza is delicious and Garlic Bread Is Fantastic! Specifically, The Pizza Bianca is delicious...& if you love garlic it’s a must! Fried Chicken and Jojo’s are great!

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Novel Rating 5/5 ⭐
At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.
It’s an oldie but a goodie! None of my high school teachers scheduled this to be read, which is kind of sad because I know other teachers taught it. So I read it on vacation while I had the time laying on the beach soaking in the sun! Yet I first learned about this storyline through my mom, she introduced me to the movie adaptation first.
Lord of The Flies was a brilliant allegory for how damaging patriarchal society can be which also included how male violence and toxic masculinity can have such deadly consequences.
The foreshadowing in Lord of The Flies is scary good, I love the connection it makes when the events predicted unravel. Classic novels are always so good.
Sometimes the language confused me, the way William chose his slang for the boys to speak in was a bit weird, and really took time to understand. Yet it didn’t push me away from the book, it was easy to get a hang of after the first two chapters.
Each character brought something to the storyline, even if their parts were small. Piggy is especially my favorite character of them all! Out of the whole group he had more brains but was always tormented for it, it broke my heart in small ways. I did like Jack, but even so, he pushed piggy around like the rest. In all, William created such a solid piece of work, he weaved every detail so effortlessly. I really wish though that you got to know more from the ending. I can think of a thousand different ways of what happened but not knowing what the author intended drives me insane to the core. So many questions go unanswered with this particular ending!
Movie Rating 4/5 ⭐
I saw the movie first, which normally I don’t let happen but my mom pushed me to watch it with her and I couldn’t deny her. Of course, the book and movie don’t totally line up. The movie didn’t have everything the book did and the book didn’t have certain things the movie incorporated. But you can’t always win. Yet it was still a solid movie on its own, they kept the most major parts the exact same which is what you always want from movie adaptations.
So I loved both almost as equally, but I think 99% of the time, I will always love the book more.
I heard two men are producing another adaption of LOTF, and this particular adaption includes an all girl cast. It really takes away from the classic novel and movie, I don’t feel very interested in this new twist, I might not even see it…

SINGAPORE — Asian markets were mostly lower on Monday after surveys showed a deterioration in the outlook for Chinese manufacturing ahead of the expected imposition of higher tariffs by Beijing and Washington starting Friday. Japan also reported weaker data. U.S. attempts to gain an upper hand in trade have also triggered retaliatory measures from the European Union and Canada.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index lost 1.3 per cent to 22,019.07 and South Korea’s Kospi shed 1.6 per cent to 2,290.35. The Shanghai Composite index slipped 1.1 per cent to 2,815.14 while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 was flat at 6,196.20. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was closed for a market holiday. Taiwan’s benchmark fell but Southeast Asian indexes were mixed.
WALL STREET: Major U.S. benchmarks finished mostly higher on Friday. The S&P 500 index rose 0.1 per cent to 2,718.37 and the Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.2 per cent to 24,271.41. The Nasdaq composite added 0.1 per cent to 7,510.30. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks dropped 0.1 per cent to close at 1,643.07 on Friday.
WEAK CHINESE DATA: China’s manufacturing activity slowed in June, adding to concerns that the economy is cooling due to tighter government controls on lending. The National Statistics Bureau’s purchasing managers’ index, which was released on Saturday, declined to 51.5 from May’s 51.9 on a 100-point scale. Numbers above 50 show acceleration. Exports, which support millions of manufacturing jobs, have shrunk as a share of China’s economy and contribute less than 1 per cent of annual growth. On Monday, China’s Caixin Manufacturing PMI for June came in at 51.0, slightly lower than 51.1 in May.
U.S-CHINA TARIFFS: The U.S. is set to impose a 25 per cent tariff on up to $50 billion of Chinese products starting this Friday. In response, China will raise import duties on $34 billion worth of American goods. On Sunday, Canada started billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., in a tit-for-tat response to the Trump administration’s duties on Canadian steel and aluminum. The items include ketchup, lawn mowers and motor boats. Some items will be subject to taxes of 10 or 25 per cent. The U.S. has also faced hit back from the European Union. Iconic American motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson will move some production overseas to avoid tariffs the European Union is placing on motorcycles made in the U.S.
JAPAN’S TANKAN: A central bank survey Monday showed Japan’s corporate outlook has worsened from three months ago, highlighting risks to its export-reliant economy from trade tensions. The Bank of Japan’s “tankan” survey measuring confidence among large-scale manufacturers was at 21 points, down 3 from the March survey, which was the first decline in two years. The manufacturers surveyed include automakers and electronics companies that are the mainstay of Japan’s economy.
ANALYST’S TAKE: “There is caution over the imposition of tariffs this weekend. Taken together, weaker-than-expected data gives markets room for thought on whether Trump protectionism has seeped into the real economy,” said Song Seng Wun, an economist at CIMB Private Banking.
ENERGY: Trump has claimed that Saudi Arabia will raise oil production by “maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels” in response to turmoil in Iran and Venezuela. This is higher than the 1 million barrels-a-day increase that OPEC countries have agreed on, sending oil futures on a decline. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 92 cents to $73.23 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained 1 per cent to $74.15 a barrel in New York on Friday. Brent crude, used to price international oils, fell $1.04 to $78.19 in London.
CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 110.79 yen from 110.74 yen in late trading Friday. The euro weakened to $1.1656 from $1.1695.

TFC Spirolox rings support an eco racing challengeCambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) embarked on a tough assignment when they decided to enter the World Solar Challenge, a biannual 3,000 km race from Darwin to Adelaide taking place in October this year. With over 6 years of experience in the design and development of solar-powered vehicles, CUER's aim is to win the race against stiff competition from universities and companies from around the globe using cutting edge technology to harness the power of the sun.
Their latest vehicle launched in November 2012 is a radical departure from their old designs and incorporates space-grade solar panels with sun-tracking capability and a light, highly aerodynamic outer shell. TFC's Spirolox Retaining Rings are being used in two locations on the car - the drive motor where the rings secure the main motor bearings to the non-rotating axle and the front suspension where they hold spherical bearings in place in the wishbone assembly.
Alex Robinson, part of the 60 strong design and development team at CUER says "the compactness, weight and load bearing aspects of TFC's Spirolox Rings made them an ideal choice for both applications. The low profile of the rings which have no lugs to interfere with mating components allowed us to keep the dimensions to a minimum and assist in the critical aspect of weight loss"
Spirolox Retaining Rings are manufactured by coiling from flattened round wire and have many advantages over conventional die-stamped circlips or retaining rings namely,

A set of techniques that have been created to protect your assets from future claims of creditors is known as asset protection. The process whereby you protect your business and personal property from risks like divorce settlements, bankruptcy, claims, and lawsuits is generally known as asset protection. The techniques of asset protection are designed to prevent some potential creditors from going after you and make them unable to seize your assets. The only business owners who can stand up strongly after a financial blow are the only ones who have the smart mind of protecting their money.
Planning asset protection is legal although having plans to defraud the creditors is not. To avoid getting on the wrong side of the law, it will be necessary for you to hire the services of experienced and knowledgeable advisers so that you can discuss about the timing of what you want to do and other things. Whether the company is large or small; asset protection is a must for all the business owners, directors and executives. The amount of money and the risks involved will determine the type of techniques and strategies to be used in protecting assets, visit and learn more here!
There are benefits of asset protection. Reducing the risk of being targeted for a lawsuit is one of the advantages of asset protection. It will be challenging for a creditor to sue you or your business if your assets are protected well. Assets and situations which are not covered by insurance will be protected by asset protection. Asset protection helps in assigning liquid assets correctly. There is a greater risk of losing your liquid assets if they are many and not protected.

1 Report to the Nation Webinar: Making the National Report Local Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013
What Is Report to the Nation? The BSA’s congressional charter mandates that an annual report be delivered to the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. It covers: – Who we are – Programs and initiatives we support – Major accomplishments and contributions over the past year To deliver the RTN, the BSA sends a representative delegation of Scouts to Washington, D.C.
Why Does This Matter to Us? Significant opportunity to tell your story to numerous audiences: – Local communities – Media – Elected officials – Current and potential donors – Council board members – Schools – Other Scouting advocates
Step One: Make the Report Yours Personalize the national report with local information and details. To make this simple for you, the BSA will provide a report to localize with prompts. We are still drafting the report; all materials will be updated in February.
Step Two: Share It With Media Prepare a local press kit to share the report with media. Make a media contact list to guide your outreach. Reach out to reporters with a compelling pitch to pique the reporter or editor’s interest and attention.
Step Two: Share It With Media Identify potential media interviewees: – Scouts – Unit leaders – Council staff – Key volunteers Prepare them by conducting mock interviews using the RTN core messages.
Step Two: Share It With Media Make a personal connection with the reporter: – Follow up via phone after the press kit has been sent to reporters. – Make sure they’ve received materials and gauge any interest they may have in the story. – Reinforce assets you’re making available: Interviews Invitation to attend a local presentation of RTN
Step Two: Suggested Timeline TaskSuggested Date Develop: Press kit Localized version of Report to the Nation News release Fact sheets Media contact list Personalized pitch email or letter By Monday, Feb. 25 Distribute localized Report to the Nation and press kit.Wednesday, Feb. 27 Make pitch calls to media, offer interviews.Wednesday, Feb. 27 Share any media coverage with online followers: Council, district, and/or unit Facebook Council district, and/or unit Twitter Ongoing after Feb. 27
Step Three: Share It With the Community Share a copy of the report with key internal and external stakeholders: – Include a personalized cover letter to explain what the report is about and why it matters. Get Scouts involved in sharing the report with key audiences in the community.

In hydraulic control systems for controlling hydraulic work cylinders, for example those operating the lift forks of a lift truck, certain schemes have been developed such as limit switches to prevent the lifting and transporting of unsafe loads. The present invention comprises a mechanism to control the hydraulic cylinders for lift truck forks for both the lift and tilt functions providing a unique load limit system which prevents the operator from tilting the load forward or raising the load when the load moment acting on the truck is so large as to be unsafe. In a lift truck, for example, the load moment can be defined as the mathematical product of the force exerted by the load and the horizontal distance between the front axle centerline and the vertical projection of the load center of gravity.
The unique load limit system incorporates limit valves that respond to the pressure in one chamber of the tilt cylinder or cylinders. In a modified embodiment, the limit valves are connected to respond to the differential pressure between the two chambers of a tilt cylinder or cylinders. In cylinders used for tilting of a load, the chamber which is pressurized to tilt the load in a rearward direction under most conditions is also pressurized by the load attempting to tilt forward under its own weight, this pressure then reflects the amount of the load moment and can be used as a control signal. Due to the use of the unique logic system described in the present control system and described in particular in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,526,247 and 3,693,506 of common assignee, a separate limit valve can be provided for the tilt manual control valve and the lift manual control valve each with its own pressure responsive setting. The unique system described herein also advantageously allows lowering or rearward tilting of a load under excess load moment conditions, at all times, since the valves of the load limiting system are connected with the logic control system described so as to be effective only during the lift and the tilt forward functions.
FIG. 1A is a part of a schematic view of a control system for hydraulic cylinders,
FIG. 1B is the second part of a schematic view showing the load limiting system which together with FIG. 1A discloses a complete control system for hydraulic cylinders incorporating the principles of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the modification of the system of FIG. 1 to operate with a "closed-center" hydraulic system, and
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a modified form of the invention of FIGS. 1A and 1B.
Referring to FIG. 1, a load-responsive hydraulic control circuit 10 is illustrated for controlling a hydraulic motor or cylinder 12 for lifting a load and hydraulic cylinders or motors 14 and 16 for tilting a load. The particular hydraulic cylinders illustrated are used, for example, in lift trucks wherein the lift cylinder 12 would be used to raise and lower the lift forks 13 of the truck and the cylinders 14 and 16 referred to as tilt cylinders are used to tilt the mast 15 upon which the lift forks 13 ride up and down when a load is to be transported on the lift truck type of vehicle.
The circuit illustrated is similar to the load-responsive system disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,506 of common assignee and the disclosure thereof is incorporated herein by reference. For a more precise and complete description of the operation of the manual control valves to control the cylinders 12, 14 and 16 than given herein, reference may be had to this patent.
Incorporated within the circuit 10 for controlling hydraulic cylinders 12, 14 and 16 is shown a fixed displacement pump 18 having a sump 19, an unloading or bypass valve 20, a manual control valve 22 for lift cylinder 12, a manual control valve 24 for tilt cylinders 14 and 16, and a flow control valve 26.
The circuit 10 further includes a control signal or logic system 28 to control operation of bypass valve 20 which incorporates three port shuttle valves or fluid responsive means 30, 32 and 34. A main relief valve 36 is provided to allow a predetermined maximum pressure within the control circuit for bypass valve 20. The invention described herein, comprises a unique load limiting system 40 incorporated in the circuit 10 which is adapted to prevent a lift truck or other device incorporating such a system from lifting or tilting unsafe loads which could be dangerous to the operator or the vehicle.
Manual control valves 22 and 24 are similar in operation each being patterned after the control valve 25 of FIG. 2 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,506. The valves 22 and 24 are three position valves each having a neutral position 50 and actuating positions 52 and 54. The manual control valves 22 and 24 each include an inlet port 60, a return port 66, and motor ports 68. Manual control valve 22 being used for single acting cylinder 12 has a single control port 62. Manual control valve 24 controlling double acting cylinders 14 and 16 has a pair of control ports 62 and 64, and an additional motor port 70.
The motor port 68 of valve 22 is connected by a conduit 80 with a fluid chamber 82 of lift cylinder 12 whereby the piston 84 of the cylinder 12 can be actuated to lift a load. The cylinder 12 also includes a fluid chamber 86 on the opposite side of piston 84.
Manual control valve 24 has its motor ports 68 and 70 connected to hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16. Motor port 70 is connected by conduit 90 with fluid chambers 92 of cylinders 14 and 16 whereby the pistons 94 of the cylinders may be actuated to move the mast 15 of the lift vehicle in a forward or clockwise direction as illustrated in FIG. 1. Motor port 68 of valve 24 is connected by a conduit 98 with fluid chambers 96 of cylinders 14 and 16 which are adapted when supplied with pressure to actuate pistons 94 to tilt the mast 15 counterclockwise or rearwardly as illustrated in FIG. 1. Provided in conduit 98 is a valve 100 having a tilt-lock function which acts to prevent depletion of pressure from chambers 96 of the tilt cylinders to prevent the mast 15 and the load carried thereby from tilting forward under undesirable conditions. The operation of the valve 100 is completely described in pending application U.S. Ser. No. 422,636 of common assignee and is valve 10 of FIG. 1 of that application. A conduit 99 connects valve 10 to the output of shuttle valve 32 to control valve 10 in the manner described in application Ser. No. 422,636 and corresponds to conduit 92 of that application.
The shuttle valve 32 of logic system 28 is connected to control port 62 by a conduit 63 and control port 64 by a conduit 65. When the system is in operation the shuttle valve 32 will connect the highest pressure in the motor ports 68 or 70 to the shuttle valve 34. Shuttle valves 34 and 30 are connected with a control signal conduit 102 which is adapted to actuate bypass valve 20 in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,506 with respect to bypass valve 18 therein illustrated to vary the pressure supplied to a supply conduit 104 to each of the inlet ports 60 of the manual valves 22 and 24. Provided in the supply conduit 104 in connection with inlet port 60 of valve 24 is a flow control valve 26 which is similar to the flow control valve disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,216 of common assignee being valve 27 of that patent. The valve 26 serves to provide a pressure to manual control valve 24 controlled in accordance with the requirements of cylinders 14 and 16, a low standby pressure to valve 24 when it is in its neutral position, act as a load check valve when the pressure to one of the chambers of the cylinders exceeds the pressure supplied to the manual control valve, and provide a maximum pressure limit for the cylinders 14 and 16. The operation of the flow control valve 26 to obtain these functions is completely described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,216 mentioned above.
A relief valve 35 is provided connected to conduit 33 and flow control valve 26 by a conduit 37. Relief valve 35 determines the maximum load pressure which can be supplied to cylinders 14 and 16.
A return conduit 110 is provided connected to sump 19 to return fluid to the sump. Conduit 110 is connected to the bypass valve 20 by conduit 112, to chamber 86 of the lift cylinder 12 by conduit 114, relief valve 35 by conduit 115 and is adapted to return fluid to sump 19 from each of these locations. The conduit 110 is also connected to the return port 66 of valve 22 by a conduit 118 and to return port 66 of manual valve 24 by conduit 120. Conduit 116 may connect shuttle valve 34 to sump 19 as illustrated, or if other manual control valves are used in the system will connect shuttle valve 34 to additional similar shuttle valves.
Manual valve 22 when actuated to its position 52 connects inlet port 60 to motor port 68 to supply pressure to chamber 82 of cylinder 12 to lift a load. As is more completely described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,506 as well as U.S. Pat. No. 3,526,247 each of common assignee, at the same time the connection between the inlet port 60 and motor port 68 is made, a connection is made between motor port 68 and control port 62. Control port 62, assuming load limiting system 40 is not interrupting, will communicate the pressure in motor port 68 and in chamber 82 by a conduit 53 to valve 150 (to be described) and conduit 55 to shuttle valve 30. Shuttle valve 30 will compare this pressure with the highest motor port pressure of manual valve 24 from shuttle valve 34 and will automatically select the highest pressure to be supplied through conduit 102 to bypass valve 20, whereby bypass valve 20 will be set to meet the pressure requirements of the highest pressure indicated at either of the manual valves 22 or 24. This operation of the manual valves 22 and 24 to connect the motor port pressure to a control port whereby it is supplied to a control signal conduit 102 by means of logic system 28 to control pump 18 is particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,526,247 and will not be repeated in detail in this description.
In position 54 of manual valve 22 the motor port 68 connected to chamber 82 is connected to the return port 66 whereby fluid will be exhausted from chamber 82 so that the pressure load is reduced and the load lowered. It should be understood that the amount of fluid supplied or exhausted can be adjusted since a variety of positions are available between the neutral and actuating positions of the manual valves creating an orifice between the inlet and motor ports or between the motor ports and return ports so that the work cylinders 12, 14 and 16 may be properly controlled.
With respect to manual control valve 24, it will be seen that in the power position 52 fluid from the inlet port 60 is connected to motor port 68 to act in chambers 96 and move pistons 94 to tilt the mast 15 of a lift truck counterclockwise as illustrated in FIG. 1. At the same time the pressure in chamber 96 is communicated to control port 62 whereby it flows through shuttle valve 32 and thus through shuttle valve 34 to be compared to the pressure in shuttle valve 30. At the same time in position 52 control port 64 and motor port 70 are connected to return port 66 to exhaust pressure from chambers 92 of cylinders 14 and 16 whereby movement of pistons 94 is permitted. In position 54 of manual valve 24 it will be seen that the inlet port 60 is connected to motor port 70 and that motor port 68 is connected to return conduit 120 to move the pistons 94 in the opposite direction to tilt the mast clockwise as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The above description describes briefly a control circuit for controlling work cylinders 12, 14 and 16 in a manner similar to the control system described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,506 mentioned above, however, the invention described herein relates to the above described control system with the addition of a unique load limiting system 40 which will now be described in detail.
Load limiting system 40 in general includes a lift limit valve 150, a tilt limit valve 152, and an over-ride valve 154. A conduit 156 connects each of the limit valves 150 and 152 with chambers 96 of hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16 whereby the valves 150 and 152 may be actuated by the pressure in those chambers. A spring 158 is provided for each of the limit valves 150 and 152 and acts on the valve in opposition to the pressure received through conduit 156. An actuator 159; which may comprise, for example, a fluid responsive area on a valve member; is provided for each of the valves 150 and 152. Actuators 159 are connected to conduit 156. Each of the valves 150 and 152 has an inactive position 160 and an active or load limiting position 162. As will be apparent when the pressure in chambers 96 of hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16 exceeds a predetermined value for the setting of either of the limit valves 150 or 152 actuator 159 will move the valve from position 160 to limiting position 162.
Limit valve 150 is in series between manual valve 22 and shuttle valve 30 and in the inactive position 160, valve 150 connects control port 62, which in turn is connected to the chamber 82 of lift cylinder 12, to the shuttle valve 30 through conduit 55 so that the manual valve 22 can operate to actuate or lift a load. In the limiting position 162, valve 150 connects control port 62 and thereby motor port 68 and chamber 82 of cylinder 12 to return conduit 110 by means of a conduit 163. It will be apparent then that when valve 150 is in position 162, with control port 62 connected to return conduit 110, the valve 22 will be incapable of supplying additional pressure to chamber 82 of lift cylinder 12.
Tilt limit valve 152 is inactive in position 160, however, in position 162 to which it is moved by pressure in conduit 156, it will connect, by means of conduit 170, control port 64 of manual valve 24 to return conduit 110 by means of conduit 165, and thus manual valve 24 is unable to supply pressure to conduit 90 (as is normally the case in position 54 of manual valve 24) to actuate hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16 to move pistons 94 to tilt the mast 15 and the load forward, since a connection is open between control port 64 and return conduit 110. At this time, when the pressure in chambers 96 drops indicating a safe load condition, the spring 158 will return limit valve 152 to its inactive position interrupting the connection to the return line 110 and permitting normal operation of manual valve 24 to actuate hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16 in either direction.
Provided in the conduit 170 is a two position over-ride valve 154 which can act to over-ride the operation of the tilt limit valve 152 under certain conditions. Over-ride valve 154 has an inactive position 200 in which conduit 170 is not interrupted and the tilt limit valve 152 can operate to prevent actuation of hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16 in the forward tilting phase. In the active position 202, valve 154 will interrupt conduit 170 to over-ride the operation of tilt limit valve 152 and permit normal operation of manual valve 24 even though the load, as measured in chambers 96, is exceeding a safe limit. A spring 204 urges valve 154 to its inactive position. A cam and follower arrangement is schematically illustrated in FIG. 1 which comprises a follower 206 attached to valve 154 and a cam 208 attached to the lift forks 13 on a lift truck for example. As will be apparent as the lift forks 13 are lowered they will reach a position in which cam 208 acts on follower 206 to move valve 154 to position 202 to interrupt conduit 170 and over-ride operation of the tilt limit valve. The function of the over-ride valve 154 is to permit tilting of the load when the load is below a predetermined maximum height since although the pressure of the load as reflected in chambers 96 would indicate that an unsafe load moment condition is present the operator will still be able to tilt the load to place the load for example, on the floor, since the load is at a very low position as indicated by the cam 208 and it would not be unsafe at this time to be able to operate the tilt controls. As will be apparent, the over-ride valve 154 can over-ride only the tilt limit valve function when the load moment is exceeding safe limits the lift limit valve 150 still being operative at such time to prevent lifting the load to any additional height. However, it will be apparent that the over-ride valve 154 could be connected to also over-ride the lift limit valve 150 to permit lifting the load under certain conditions, if deemed desirable.
The system of FIG. 1, is of the "open-center" type having a fixed displacement pump and a bypass valve to control the pump. Referring to FIG. 2, there is schematically illustrated a variable displacement pump 18a which can be used with the present control circuit for what is termed a "closed-center" system. In such a system the line 102a, which is the control signal conduit carrying a load responsive signal, will operate to change the displacement of pump 18a to vary the pump supply pressure in conduit 104a in accordance with the control signal in conduit 102a. In a manner similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1, when the load limiting system interrupts or connects the control signal conduit 102a to the sump or to conduit 110a, the pump displacement will correspondingly be reduced to reduce the output being supplied to conduit 104a and thus prevent further actuation of the tilt forward function or the lift function as described above with respect to FIG. 1.
Referring again to the system of FIG. 1, the flow control valve 26 as mentioned above, which is particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,216 of common assignee, operates as a pressure reducing valve so that in the system disclosed herein the operation of manual valve 24 comprising the tilt circuit for a lift truck for example, can be adjusted to operate at a pressure level supplied to inlet port 60 lower than the system pressure being delivered to inlet port 60 of control valve 22 for the lift circuit. As discussed, tilting in a rearward direction or counterclockwise as viewed in FIG. 1, is to be permitted even for an over-capacity load, but it is important not to allow further elevation or lifting of the load while tilting in the backward direction. Due to the pressure reducing function of the flow control valve 26, the tilt circuit is operating at a lower pressure level than the lift circuit further lifting of the load will be impossible so that the load can be tilted in a rearward direction but the lift cylinder not be actuated since the lift cylinder is operating at a higher pressure capability.
With the addition of the flow control valve 26 acting as a pressure reducer, the lift limit valve 150 can be spring biased to a higher limiting level than the tilt limit valve 152. Therefore, as the critical load moment is reached, and the tilt limit valve 152 vents the control signal pressure in conduit 170, as is clearly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,592,216, the flow control valve 26 will move to a position blocking the passage of fluid between supply conduit 104 and inlet 60 of manual valve 24 thus preventing further tilt cylinder movement. Under these conditions then only the lift circuit can be operated and the manual valve 22 be functional to lift the load at the particular pressure levels between the setting of lift limit valve 150 and tilt limit valve 152.
In FIG. 3 is shown a modified form of the invention disclosing a system in which the limit valves 150 and 152 are responsive to the differential pressure between chambers 92 and 96 of the hydraulic cylinders 14 and 16. Valves 150 and 152 each have an actuator 259 therewith on the same end of the valve as spring 158. Actuator 259, which for example, would comprise a fluid responsive area on a valve spool, is connected by a fluid conduit 256 with chambers 92 of cylinders 14 and 16. As will be apparent, the valves 150 and 152 will be moved between positions 160 and 162 by the differential pressure between chambers 92 and 96. During conditions of unsafe load moment, the differential pressure between chambers 96 and 92 will be high, chamber 96 having the higher pressure, and valves 150 and 152 will be urged to the 162 position to prevent further tilt forward or lift movement.
From the above it will be apparent that the present invention provides a unique and improved hydraulic control circuit particularly adapted to control the lift and tilt cylinders for a lift or industrial truck. This system is a load responsive system having a unique load limiting feature preventing the lifting or forward tilting during conditions of unsafe load moments. The system as described above, also prevent similtaneous lifting or forward tilting during the over-capacity condition. The system advantageously also allows lowering of an over-capacity load at all times since the location of the lift limit valve 150 and tilt limit valve 152 in the logic circuits enables these valves to be effective only on the lift function and the tilt forward function. While providing the above advantages and safety features, at the same time, the unique system permits complete system performance as normal, when safe load moment conditions are encountered.
The various features of the invention have been particularly shown and described, however, it should be obvious to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention.

Five Great Flash Techniques To Improve Your Photography Light
So, you moved your light off camera (very good) and looking for some new ways to explore more lighting options. Some of the most interesting light can come from doing the unexpected with your flash.
Here are five great techniques to boost your off camera lighting.
After exploring those five you’ll have a great toolbox for shooting pictures with off camera flash.
Poor Man’s Ring Light
Ring light is one of the lighting modifiers very commonly used in the fashion industry. The fact that light is coming from all around the lens provide a shadowless image on one hand and a great halo effect on the other.
Packing two Canon speedlites and a pocket wizard this mod may not be suitable for the poor, yet if you have the lights around, you’ll get a semi-pro ring light for the price of two ball bungees.
Light That Comes From All Around
Some of the hardest things to light are specular objects. (Or simply put – shiny things). Watches; Cell phones; Sony PSPs, you know, shiny.
The “secret” to light specular object is that you don’t pour light directly on the object, but on the surface that reflects off the object. The light from the reflected surface will bounce from the specular object to create nice and even light.
By using Plexiglass (or Perspex) you can create evenly lit surfaces to bounce light off from. (If you only need one bright surface, use this hack; If you want to learn more about specular objects and lighting in general check out Light Science and Magic – the best lighting book ever).
Some objects are best lit from down under. Fluids in translucent containers are a great example of such objects. To create some great underlight, you can use an everyday cardboard box topped with a piece of glass. Hiding the flash in the box will help you eliminate flare.
Stick Your Flash In Some Fruit
Is this a radioactive apple? Nope, it is an apple that had a core-removal surgery and a flash transplant follow up.
Coring the apple makes it thinner so it is easier for light to go through the apple. When the light from the strobes hits the apple and goes on the other side of it, it looks like the apple itself is the light source. For more details on this shot go here.
Use Whatever You Can Get For Diffusion
It is a well known “secret” that people look their best under soft light.
Unfortunately, both small strobes and big strobes produce hard light. (The smaller the light source, the harder the light).
Fortunately, almost any semi-translucent material can be sued as a diffuser. Starting with garbage bag as was done in this picture, through sketching paper, baking paper, white t-shirts and more.
Even More Hacks

Daisy Ridley is no stranger to STAR WARS criticism which is why she is the perfect person to weigh in on the latest STAR WARS controversy: Baby Yoda and the eggs.
The controversy started after an episode of The Mandalorian season 2 which featured Baby Yoda chowing down on some unfertilized eggs in the episode “The Passenger.” The eggs belonged to Frog Lady, a passenger that was hitching a ride on the Razor Crest so she could reunite with her husband. Protecting the eggs was of the utmost importance but Baby Yoda had other plans. Baby Yoda was motivated by his primal need to satiate his hunger and he ate the eggs. The show was playing this to be a bit funny but it ended up being unintentionally disturbing and it led to a lot of polarizing reactions and comments on social media.
Daisy Ridley, who played Rey in the new STAR WARS trilogy, spoke to “IGN” while talking about her upcoming film CHAOS WALKING and when the egg fiasco was brought up, the actress had a bit of fun commenting on the matter:
“Oh, cancel culture. Look, Mando’s gotta eat, Yoda’s got to get strong. That’s just that. I’m like, Yoda, do your thing. The creature got to be where she needed to be with the eggs. It’s all good. It was beautifful.”
I’m actually happy that Ridley had a little fun with this STAR WARS “controversy” because it is all a bit silly. Who would have thought that Baby Yoda chowing down on unfertilized eggs would be a talking point of 2020? It really is that kind of year.
What are YOUR thoughts on the Baby Yoda egg debacle?

Perth-based medicinal cannabis company Little Green Pharma – which recently listed on the ASX – has entered a deal to supply the full suite of its medicinal cannabis products to UK-based Astral Health.
The binding agreement – which has a five-year term – will see Astral Health purchase, import, and distribute LGP’s current medicinal cannabis oil product range – comprising LGP Classic 10:10, LGP Classic 20:5, and LGP Classic 1:20 – to its UK-based patients.
Astral Health is a specialist importer and distributor of medicinal cannabis products and a subsidiary of LYPHE Group, which holds one of the few licences that have been awarded to operate medicinal cannabis clinics in the UK.
LYPHE Group operates a network of seven medicinal cannabis clinics across the country and expects to assist more than 2,000 patients in CY2020.
“This is an important milestone for Little Green Pharma as we enter the UK market and will provide us with an early mover advantage in what is anticipated to be a large medicinal cannabis market,” LGP Managing Director Fleta Solomon said.
The Agreement positions LGP as one of very few companies with GMP medicinal cannabis products to supply into the UK and Europe and follows our first purchase order from Germany.”
Medicinal cannabis was legalised in the UK in November 2018 and the industry is forecast to grow to US$1.3 billion by 2024, with an expected 400,000 patients being prescribed medicinal cannabis.
The British Medical Journal indicates a potential market of more than four million patients across a range of 52 conditions that are potentially treatable with medicinal cannabis. Currently, it is estimated that 1.4 million people (or 2.8% of the adult population) in the UK are accessing cannabis through illicit avenues to treat chronic medical conditions.
Founded in 2016, Little Green Pharma was the first and is currently the only, Australian medicinal cannabis company producing locally grown and GMP-manufactured cannabis products for patients.
Plants are cultivated from seed, without pesticides, in a hydroponic facility in Western Australia’s South West region. Once harvested, the flowers are processed in a government approved and highly regulated manufacturing facility near Perth.
With a growing range of products, containing differing ratios of active ingredients of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD), Little Green Pharma has been supplying pharmaceutical-grade products to a rapidly increasing number of eligible patients around Australia.
Today’s news comes after LGP recently received its first commercial order of 2,400 units to be distributed to CC Pharma, a distributor of pharmaceutical products to more than 13,000 pharmacies in Germany and throughout Europe.

As a fan of the game magic the gathering, I’d love to see a grimiore that focuses on the five colors. I doubt that I’ll see one, but I still think it would be cool. Considering how much goes into the color pie philosophy.
You can always create it. Pop culture magick is very real thing.
I am probably going to become a pop culture magician since there is so much interest in that. I my opinion that is what MatPat is.
There are branches of chaos magick focused upon 8 colors and types of magick.
Chaos Magick has already done something similar, using Terry Pratchett’s colours of magic.
As everyone has already said, definitely look into the chaos magic route for this. You might have to do some digging though. Most of that kind of work was done in the late 90’s and Early 00’s. But you should be able to find it if you look. The Gnostic Thunderbolt is a chaos magic ritual that was listed under “red magic” in my notes, and if that’s not an equivalent to the similarly titled MTG card, I don’t know what is.

Teen Angels was an Argentine pop band formed from the series Casi Ángeles. Its original members were Lali Espósito, Peter Lanzani, Nicolás Riera, Gastón Dalmau and China Suarez, who would be replaced in 2011 by Rochi Igarzábal.
|Origin||Buenos Aires, Argentina|
|Genres||Pop, dance-pop, pop rock, Latin pop|
|Past members||Gastón Dalmau|
Teen Angels recorded six studio albums and three live albums. Teen Angels 2 was certified double platinum, Teen Angels, Teen Angels 3 and Teen Angels 4 Platinum and gold Teen Angels 5 by CAPIF.
The band provided concerts and promotions in different cities in Argentina and in countries such as Peru, Chile, Israel, Spain, Uruguay, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil and Italy.
In 2011 the band become independent from the TV series and by hand of Sony Music. During that year they released a fifth record work , TeenAngels 5, a different CD and showing a more mature profile of the Band. In addition tours were made by the different points of Argentina, Israel, Uruguay and Peru; this tour highlighted the concert offered inside the Femme Fatale Tour of Britney Spears at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, Buenos Aires.
In March 2012 it was confirmed its dissolution and after a schedule of recitals farewell at the Teatro Gran Rex, on October 8, 2012 they made their last show in the Orfeo Superdomo of the city of Córdoba.
On May 30, 2013, the Argentine cinema released the "film" of their latest show, who was called : Teen Angels: El Adiós.
Beginnings with Casi ÁngelesEdit
The group emerged following the release of the album Teen Angels I, which contained the music of the 2007 TV series. Emilia Attias, Gastón Dalmau, Lali Espósito, Peter Lanzani, Nicolás Riera and China Suárez were the main performers with the participation of Nicolás Vázquez. The content of the songs was related to the facts narrated in the telenovela and one of them, «Voy por más», became the first single.
2008-2009: From fiction to realityEdit
In 2008, the band transcended the fiction and edited Teen Angels II (already without the presence of Emilia Attias and Nicolas Vázquez). The disc contained 13 songs, three of them interpreted by Attias and Vázquez. The singles of this album were «A ver si pueden» and «A decir que si», being crowned during that year, this first, like one of the ten most popular songs of America according to The Associated Press. Teen Angels 2 received the gold disc, only two days after its release, and then was awarded double platinum in Argentina.
At the end of 2008 they signed a contract for Coca-Cola releasing the song and the video clip, «Hoy Quiero».
The third season began on April 20, 2009 on Telefé, giving way to the release of the third studio album called homonymous, Teen Angels III (following the trend of the previous). His broadcasting court was «Que Nos Volvamos A Ver». The album became platinum in Argentina. They also presented the second single, «Vuelvo a casa», in the middle of the year.
In July they recorded the video clip «Cada Vez Que Sale El Sol», a cover of the song performed by the Argentine singer Sergio Denis, for the new campaign of the brand Coca-Cola. The track was included as a bonus track on his second live album recorded at the Gran Rex Theater, which went on sale on August 25, also corresponding to the play of the third season of the series.
The 27 of September are presented for the first time in Madrid, Spain, in the Telefónica Flagship Store de la Gran Vía in a showcase for guests and press, like promotion of the cd.
On October 3, they gave their first concert in Israel for a series of performances at the Nokia stadium in Tel Aviv, performing 13 functions with more than 78,000 spectators. Right there they recorded a song in Hebrew, «El lugar real» , and they released a special album and DVD TeenAngels En Vivo: From Israel. Due to its enormous success and popularity, the State of Israel issued stamps with the photos of the band. There were a total of eleven postage stamps: two of each member of the group and another of the five together. In the last quarter of the year, Teen Angels made their first promotional tour of Chile, Perú, Venezuela, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Italy.
With the arrival of the holidays, the quintet recorded a new song called «Navidad» and a new video for Coca-Cola and his campaign La magia está con vos. And they received in Spain the award 40 principales, to the best artist of Argentina.
2010: Last year with Casi ÁngelesEdit
In March, Teen Angels returned to Israel to promote the release of the CD + DVD pack (exclusive for that country) Live from Israel recorded the previous year and gave a show in Spain on March 23 at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid. There was filmed the video clip of "Miedo A Perderte" produced by Carlos Jean, an advance of the fourth album of study titled Teen Angels IV. On May 22 they performed in Madrid at a concert, which promoted taking care of the environment. For that, the group was presented in the framework of the celebrations of the Día Mundial de la Biodiversidad organized by the magazine Bravo. There they released their video clip «Bravo por la Tierra» in order to raise awareness in defense of the planet.
The song «Vos Ya Sabés» was the tuning head of the fourth season of the series, and first single of his fourth album. Followed by «Miedo a perderte». This fourth album came to be crowned platinum. In May 2010 they visit Brazil, where they do a promotional tour and present their album Quase Anjos which contains the Portuguese versions of «A ver si pueden» (called : «Vamos ver quem pode») and one of «A decir que sí» (called : «Dizer que sim») respectively .
In July they began a series of presentations at the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires. in addition to an Argentine national tour as a reason for the farewell of the television series.
On July 27, Teen Angels: La Historia was released, a CD + DVD containing an unpublished song : «No Te Digo Adiós», created to end the series Casi Ángeles.
2011: Post Casi ÁngelesEdit
In January 2011, China Suárez left the band, and was replaced by Rocío Igarzábal, who was part of the cast of the television strip and had participated in the albums Teen Angels II, Teen Angels III and Teen Angels IV.
During that year, the members presented a new tour started on January 22 in Punta del Este. This included four dates in Israel (three in March and one in October) and two free shows in La Plata and Tigre. Also, it toured the city of Montevideo, Uruguay and some argentine cities.
The tour touted the new album titled Teen Angels V, which won the Golden Disc Award in August 2011. Three singles were released from the tour: the first, entitled «Que Llegue Tu Voz», was recorded at the Gran Rex Theater and reached high positions; the song «Mírame, Mírate» had a videoclip shot in Cataratas del Iguazú; and «Loco», the most controversial, showed the band in a more sensual and mature context. In October 2011, they receive the Kids Choice Awards Argentina, for the favorite latin group.
Amid a controversy over the recruitment, on November 20, the band performed at the opening of the Femme Fatale Tour of Britney Spears in the city of La Plata. To close the year, on December 13 the quintet was presented in Lima, Peru for the launch of the Yups TV channel Cris Morena Group.
By 2012, several members had additional work to the band and rumors of a possible separation had begun.
On February 28 came the first issue of the sixth studio album La Despedida in the telenovela Dulce amor, which features in its cast with Nicolás Riera and Rocío Igarzábal. The unpublished song sung to duet by both was called Perfect Integrity.
On April 17, 2012, the new record material was released, which includes "Baja El Telón" (the first single), "Arriga en forma de amor" (second single) and "Integridad perfecta" (never a single official) as well as new versions of its previous themes. Also, they recorded a special participation for the telenovela of Telefe and they appeared in the talent show La Voz Argentina.
On October 8, the last show was held in the city of Cordoba before more than 20,000 people, after their performances at the Teatro Gran Rex. Lali Espósito explained that the reasons had to do with the incompatibility of the different careers of the members, "If we made the decision to continue it would be difficult to get together, go on tour, because Nico and Rochi are recording Dulce Amor, Peter is in La Owner, Gas is going to New York and I premiered Las Brujas de Salem.
During the month of September 2012, the channel Yups made the official film appearance of Teen Angels: El Adiós. The film shows the last concert performed at the Gran Rex Theater in Buenos Aires and was presented in a single function for Peru.
On May 30, 2013 was released in Argentina in theaters throughout the country, ranking ninth in number of spectators with 11,000, well behind the rest of the releases that week.
Image and productsEdit
Teen Angels was the face of a large number of licensed products. Stationery, posters, postcards, furniture, clothing lines, perfumes, among other products launched during seasons 2 and 3. An official store, the Fans Store, is located in the Unicenter shopping center, Buenos Aires. 2009 was released a free online video game called Audition TeenAngels. The game features songs from the show, dress of the characters and other contents of the strip. The MMORPG was created by Axeso 5 being released in 2009. Also at the end of the same year was released a limited version of the Lenovo G450 notebook, it had a design related to the fiction, besides owning in its disc content of the program.

[A] burglar who was caught in possession of five stolen jackets has been jailed for 32 months.
Kieron Lowe, aged 38, of Baird Road, Carlisle, was sentenced for burglary at Carlisle Crown Court on 19th July.
In April earlier this year police were alerted to a burglary that had taken place in the early hours at a property on Simmerson Drive in Carlisle. A short time later officers, having made fast-time enquiries, arrested Lowe who was in possession of five jackets and a mobile phone that belonged to the victim of the burglary.
Detective Constable Sarah Boustead said: “Kieron Lowe was caught red-handed by officers investigating this burglary.
“He claimed that a man had sold him the jackets in the short time between the burglary being committed and police arresting him. This was clearly untrue.
“We are pleased that he has been sent to prison.
“I hope that this sends a clear message to anyone who would consider breaking into a house with the intention to steal. Our officers are quick to react to such incidents and, like in this case, are determined to bring such offenders to justice.”

You’re working from home or trying to keep yourself occupied. You’re not necessarily hungry but that bag of chips in the kitchen is on your mind. Giving in to the craving seems harmless but in the grand scheme of your recent snacking trends, it’s a bad idea. Snacking out of boredom or convenience or just to stay awake while working are easy habits to get into when the majority of your time is at home, like many are experiencing now.
Curb your appetite with mindful eating. Slow down. Being mindful and paying attention to the food you consume could help you eat healthier, with more appreciation and intention. Learn how to make every meal a practice of awareness.
Ponder: Before you eat and ask yourself, “Am I really hungry?” Sometimes, we think we’re hungry when we’re actually thirsty or bored or stressed. Check in with yourself and decide if you need nourishment in the form of food or something else.
Appraise: When your food is in front of you, take a moment. How does it look? How does it smell? Do you really want it? Is it more than you need?
Slow: Slow down. Put your fork down between bites. Really chew your food and taste it. Slowing down your eating helps your brain catch up with your stomach.
Savor: Really enjoy your food. How does the texture feel in your mouth? What are all the complex flavors you can taste? Take a moment to savor the satisfaction of each bite.
Stop: Stop when you’re full. Sounds so obvious, right? But hey, cleaning your plate isn’t necessary. By noticing when you’re full and stopping, you may avoid unnecessary calories and indigestion.
Stay healthy, riders! The Metrolink team is rooting for you.

Hydroponically developed produce seems to be a growing modern-day farming trend, but should hydroponic growers be able to make the same claims as organic farmers who grow their fruits and vegetables in soil?
According to a report from The Cornucopia Institute, an organization that supports economic justice for family-scale farming communities for local organic, and authentic food, say there is growing concern that industrial labs are producing hydroponically grown vegetables and labeling their produce as organic.
Hydroponically grown fruits and vegetables are produced using mineral or liquid-based fertilizer in water, as opposed to traditionally-grown crops that gain their nutrients through soil.
Mark A. Kastel, the Executive Director of The Cornucopia Institute, states that there is rapid growth in the food industry, with more crops being cultivated in artificial settings. However, this innovation isn’t always a good thing.
“This is especially egregious in the production of organic food, as consumers are willing to pay a premium based on published research indicating true organic management practices result in nutritional superiority and flavor,” said Kastel.
The report has heightened concerns about the United States’ lack of legislation prohibiting organic labeling among hydroponically grown food. This is illegal in countries that the US shares borders with such as Canada, and Mexico. The European Union has even voted in favor to ban a select number of Northern European countries from labeling their hydroponic leafy greens as organically grown as well.
In the United States, there are currently no regulations under federal law that promote the use of labeling in regard to hydroponically grown produce, preventing consumers from being able to identify which fruits and vegetables are produced from natural soil and which are grown through hydroculture. The study further states that there is no current protocol established by the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) organic sector to regulate how hydro and aquaponic industrial labs operate.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an independent government agency with the duty to preserve consumer protection, is the only government agency in the US which defines what classifies as organic indicating.
“Organically grown food is produced on humus-rich soil whose fertility has been maintained with organic materials and natural mineral fertilizers,” says the FTC. “No pesticides, artificial fertilizers or synthetic additives are used in the production of organic foods.”
Furthermore, The National Organic Program (NOP), which helps regulate within the USDA’s agriculture framework, has never issued a mandate on hydroponic farming as organic, although 16 alternative accredited certifying agents (ACA), which are key leaders in judging the USDA’s organic standards, have approved hydroponic farming as being so.
Dave Chapman, an organic greenhouse farmer based in Vermont, is fighting to maintain the importance of soil in organic growth.
“Every effort is being made to confuse this issue in the minds of consumers,” said Chapman. “To everyone in the greenhouse industry, ‘hydroponic’ is a term used to describe growing plants by supplying most of their nutrition in a liquid, plant-available solution, whether in a container or in a water-filled pipe.”
This is not the same process plants gain their nutrition from through soil in a natural environment and violates principles that are respected by the organic farming community.
The Cornucopia Institute is further making strides to impact policy on labeling hydroponic fruits and vegetables by assembling proxy letters and sending them to food retail stores in hopes of persuading US grocery outlets to use in store-labeling.
“With hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of venture and equity capital being invested in industrial-scale greenhouses the size of football fields, parking lots filled with thousands of containers with drip irrigation, or ‘vertical farms’ in cities, consumers and wholesale buyers need a way to discern which certified organic fruits and vegetables are truly nutrient-dense and produced according to the law,” said Kastel.
But in the meantime, it looks like the indoor farming industry will not be slowing down anytime soon, with Bowery, an indoor farm start-up company located in New York City, having just raised $90 million in its series B funding process, thanks to the help of Google Ventures and Dara Khosrowshahi, the CEO of Uber.
This brings the vertical farming company’s total number in funds raised to $117.5 million, which includes a previous $20 million raised in its series A funding round from 2017.
According to Bowery, its industrialized farming is the world’s most progressive, with the help of its newest software systems known as “BoweryOS” which optimizes crop growth through a software that measures the growing process of hydroponic fruits and vegetables using robotic and computer led algorithms.
Companies like Bowery note that the growth of soilless crops in industrial labs through advanced technology has its perks, with industrial farmers having the luxury of being able to calculate the precise amount of water, sunlight, and other necessities needed to create the perfect product. Lab-based agriculture also saves money in regard to watering and transportation expenditures that are high costs for regular farming.
With that being said, energy costs are still a rising issue with vertical farming, as it favors the use of LED lighting and other technologies for growth.
Despite both sides having their own disadvantages and benefits, the conversation continues as to whether hydroponic products are capable of being a reliable organic alternative that carries the same legitimacy as conventional farming.

Does Technology Divide or Connect?
Why is technology dividing some cultures and bringing together others? This talk looks from a multicultural perspective at how we value our time and use of tech. What's there to take away from countries and cultures that share their resources? What's lost when our values are intrinsically motivated by dollars rather than happiness? Max Gregori shares his experience from living in both worlds and lets the audience decide what is most important.
