This image is a general representation of the item and the actual product may differ slightly in terms of color shading, logo placement, borders, or other small details. Used items may have various cosmetic differences as well.
Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have
some signs of use (although not major ones).
May have slight surface noise when played.

A fantastic Johnny "Guitar" Watson album, and one that features him playing no guitar at all! Instead, he plays piano, and with a nice bluesy style that sounds great. He sings mostly standards, but in a fantastic way that twists them inside out, and that gives them all these great ... LP, Vinyl record album
70's issue of this insanely wonderful early session by Johnny Guitar Watson – originally recorded for Chess in the early 60s, and featuring Johnny on piano, not guitar!

Marlena Shaw's first-ever album – and while not as all-out righteous as some of her later work, still a really unique record that quickly put Marlena head and shoulders above the rest of the pack!

An excellent album by Isaac Redd Holt – one half of the incredible Young-Holt rhythm team, bursting out nicely here on his own!

Marvin Gaye shows another wonderful side of his talents in the early Motown years – a classy, crooing approach that was perfect for this tribute to Nat King Cole! There's a great mix of jazz and soul going on here that's a bit different than some of Marvin's other Motown work of the 60s ... LP, Vinyl record album
The Marvelettes were one of Motown's first successful acts – and given their strong run during the 60s, they also proved to be one of the label's most consistent! This 2LP set is loaded with excellent material by the group – and titles include "Please Mr Postman", "Playbo ... LP, Vinyl record album

To combat what has been frequently described as a significant lack of workforce housing, the Manchester City Council unanimously passed three separate development deals that will ultimately add more dwelling options within the city.
In total, the council will borrow an amount not to exceed $2.5 million to facilitate the projects.
“We are in dire need of housing and it’s difficult to get someone to come in and just start developing,” City Manager Tim Vick explained. “We know there’s a struggle within the community so we’re doing something outside of what we’ve done in the past to see if we can generate more housing and it does seem like it’s working.”
All three of the deals follow formulas similar to what the council has deployed in the past for recent housing projects, like the one that helped to facilitate the development by Wes Schulte.
According to city documents, the newly-added projects include providing tax increment financing support to Jerome Krogmann in connection with the construction of public infrastructure necessary for the development of a new residential subdivision; providing tax increment financing support to S & R Construction, Inc. in connection with the construction of public infrastructure necessary for the development of a new residential subdivision; and providing tax increment financing support to Joe Hildebrand/Bailey Drive Estates, LLC in connection with the construction of two duplexes.
The Krogmann endeavor, dubbed Meadow Park Fourth Subdivision Housing Development Project, includes a forgivable loan not to exceed $300,000 and a grant not to exceed $300,000.
The project will add all the necessary infrastructure, like water, sewer, streets, storm sewer and street lights, to pave the way for the development of 13 family dwelling units.
If newly generated tax revenue from the development does not cover the city’s forgivable loan investment, Vick said Krogmann would have to cover the remaining costs.
“Provided (the infrastructure project) is built within 12 years and the tax revenue collected off the project money we’ve invested, it can be forgiven,” Vick said of the loan.
The second project, S and R Construction’s Oakview Estates Housing Development Project, includes a forgivable loan not to exceed $250,000 and a grant not to exceed $250,000.
The same concept as the Krogmann deal, half the project will be covered by a grant and the loan can be forgiven provided the project generates enough new tax revenue to pay it off.
Oakview Estates is expected to add 16 single-family units and 26 attached single-family units, meaning they are duplex where occupants own their half, or basically condos with a shared common wall.
The Joe Hildebrand/Bailey Drive Estates project will add two new sets of duplexes and will include a 10 year, 80% tax rebate not to exceed $170,000.
“It’s the same incentive we’ve offered him for his last four projects,” Vick said.
While the total amount borrowed is not to exceed $2.5 million, that figure includes a $1 million bond from February that was taken to cover improvements costs on East Main Street.
“So, we’re combining all that together,” Vick said.
The council is expected to begin proceedings for the bond sale next month.

Chrissy Teigen Reveals the Social Media Moments She Wishes Didn't Go Viral
Chrissy Teigen is speaking out about the downfalls of social media.
During the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen after show on Thursday, the 33-year-old model revealed which of her iconic social media moments -- something she's become well known for -- she wishes hadn't made headlines.
"Anything that involved any stans of any kind," Teigen said. "... That is the worst. Anyone that has a group of stans. Oh my gosh it's weeks that you have to completely leave the grid because... the culture of it is insane."
Teigen shared that she has learned from past experiences with such groups and now filters herself on social media.
"I can't do this anymore. I can't say that someone's lip syncing or something. I can't make those snide comments anymore," she said. "Oh my God! It's hell for weeks!"
"And then you can't ever love something they do more recently because of something you said 10 years ago," she added. "They'll say, like, 'Yeah, but you did this! We don't trust you!' I'm like, 'Who are you?'"
Teigen's appearance on WWHL marked a milestone moment for the late-night show, as Cohen was celebrating its 10th anniversary. ET caught up with Cohen after the taping of the special episode, where he gushed about having the Bring the Funny judge -- along with John Mayer and Real Housewives of New York City star Luann de Lesseps -- on hand for the occasion.
"Chrissy tweets into the show, she texts me personally, there is no form of communication in which she does not reach out to both the show, to Bravo, to the housewives, and myself," Cohen said. "... [This was] an amazing anniversary show. Extreme Bravo fandom in Chrissy Teigen, a big star housewife in Countess Luann, a superstar who has nothing to do with any of it in John Mayer."
"It's the exact right recipe for Watch What Happens Live fun," he added.
As for what's made the show successful, Cohen attributed "the longevity of the show to the authenticity of the experience."
"We are literally hosting a live party every night at 11," Cohen explained. "You don't know what can happen. Sometimes things can go terribly wrong. Sometimes the casts hate each other, sometimes they drink too much. You don't know what's going to happen. And I think people really like authenticity these days."
"Also, I go there in a way that a lot of people don't," he added. "I think that's enjoyable to watch for some people."

What are Lawrence Ho's favorite hotels?
As I’m in the industry, I tend to be very, very, very picky with the hotels that I stay in. Park Hyatt is a partner of ours, and I’m a big fan of its hotels. I’m a big fan of Park Hyatts around the world. Park Hyatt in Tokyo actually inspired our Altira Macau hotel. I like the hotel so much that I really modeled and built Altira with Park Hyatt Tokyo as the inspiration. I’m a big fan of Aman Resorts around the world. If I go to a resort destination, Aman is my go-to. I think we do a very good job of hotels as well, but in terms of just visiting, Park Hyatt and Aman are my favorites.

From Rakiya Garba Karaye, Maiduguri
President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians especially the elite to be fair in their criticism of his administration.
Speaking on Thursday in Abuja when he received in audience Reverend Yakubu Pam, the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission, where President Buhari stated that those criticising the administration should be fair in terms of reflecting on where the country was before there administration came.
This was released in a statement on January 14,2021 by Specisl Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina.
The president also stated that the administration had to struggle in paying debts, investing in road repairs and rebuilding, to revamp the rail and try to get power.
He said he hope the elite will compare notes when they want to criticise.
On the security situation especially in the Northeast, the President stated that the government is doing its best and hope that eventually their best will be good enough.
He also assured that the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons was paramount on the agenda of government.
He commended the Executive Secretary on his appointment and activities on peace building around the country despite his short time in the saddle and assured him of the listening ear of the government whenever he had contributions to make.
Earlier in his remarks, Reverend Pam had intimated the President with some of the activities of the Commission since he was appointed in July 2020.
He added that the Commission has proposed to host Christian religious leaders in a summit to help douse pressures within the polity, among other plans.

Sarasota woman gets help from Season of Sharing with utility bills after heart attack
Brenda Brown had just awakened from a nap one day this past spring when she felt a tightening in her chest. She couldn’t breathe. With a history of diabetes and heart problems, she called 9-1-1 for an ambulance and was taken to the hospital, where she was told she was experiencing a heart attack.
And just like that, the 58-year-old Sarasota woman who gets by month-to-month on disability income suffered a setback both medically and financially.
In the hospital and with added out-of-pocket expenses for new medications – along with the half-dozen she has to take every day – Brown missed payments on her water bill.
Season of Sharing:A commitment to community care
“I started falling behind once I went to the hospital,” she said.
Brown was referred to Senior Friendship Centers in Sarasota, a nonprofit that helps people older than 55. They helped her get a Season of Sharing grant in May to pay almost $160 for late utility charges.
“I’m caught up,” Brown said on a recent morning sitting in her wheelchair under a carport outside her small apartment home. “I sure do appreciate it.”
The stress from unpaid utility bills can exacerbate Brown’s high blood pressure and other health issues connected to her history of strokes and heart attacks, her sister, Rosemary Brown, 62, said about her younger sibling.
“That’s a whole lot of strain and worry,” Rosemary Brown said, hovering over her sister and making sure she was hydrated with a mixture of Gatorade and apple juice.
“I worry about everything,” Brenda Brown said.
Brown has grappled with diabetes for about 30 years, ever since the birth of her second and youngest child.
She worked in housekeeping in many of Sarasota’s hotels before losing full use of her right hand about six or seven years ago, when she needed to go on disability.
“I’ve cleaned so many bathrooms,” she said laughing, “scrubbing and washing toilets.”
After her heart problems in the spring, she suffered two back-to-back strokes this fall. Brown is able to mobile again with the help of her walker. Her sister makes sure to get her outside for some exercise in the Newtown neighborhood where they live close to one another, accompanying her up and down the sidewalk near their apartments.
Season of Sharing:Help your neighbors in need by donating now
Rosemary Brown wants her sister to focus on her health instead of her bills but knows it’s hard. Brenda Brown says she brings in $815 in monthly disability income and from that has to pay $300 a month in rent, plus about $200 in utilities. The rest usually gets eaten up with her installment payments on furniture and household items that aren’t covered by her food assistance.
One unexpected crisis like a hospital stay or added pharmaceutical expenses is enough to put her in a position of choosing between paying utility bills and rent or buying needed medicines.
Falling behind can feel overwhelming, knowing that when it comes to a late bill and other household expenses, there’s no such thing as a pause button.
“There’s another bill coming in right behind it,” she said.
That’s why she was so grateful for the Season of Sharing assistance.
“Sometimes you’re just getting by unless you do get some help,” she said.
Emily Baar, Friendship at Home coordinator with Senior Friendship Centers, said Brown’s story is not uncommon.
For seniors living alone on a fixed income, especially on Social Security disability, it just takes one thing to create a huge need, she said.
“The fact that she has a medical condition on top of this, unfortunately that’s very common as well,” Baar added. “It does become a really difficult experience to just try to get through alone.”
People are already anxious, and when they fall behind on rent or utilities they are hesitant to reach out for help, perhaps because they have never done so before, she said.
“There are many people just really struggling,” she said.
That’s what makes Season of Sharing so important, Baar added.
“Knowing that this is out there is something that I think can bring comfort to people in some way. It can alleviate at least a financial difficulty, and with that, they’ll be able to focus on their health and getting better.”
How to help
Season of Sharing was created 21 years ago as a partnership between the Herald-Tribune and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to get emergency funds to individuals and families on the brink of homelessness in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties. There are no administrative fees and no red tape – every dollar donated goes to families in need to help with rental assistance, utility bills, child care and other expenses.
Donations to Season of Sharing may be made online at cfsarasota.org/donors/support-season-of-sharing, or by sending a check (payable to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County) to Attn. Season of Sharing, 2635 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL 34237. Contact the foundation at 941-955-3000 for more information or to request a credit card form. All donations are tax-deductible.
This story comes from a partnership between the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. Saundra Amrhein covers the Season of Sharing campaign, along with issues surrounding housing, utilities, child care and transportation in the area. She can be reached at email@example.com.

Cardiac catheterization is the insertion of a catheter through an artery or vein to reach blood vessels in the heart, explains Mayo Clinic. This procedure treats and diagnoses cardiovascular conditions, has a fast recovery time and typically has a low risk of complications.
During a cardiac catheterization, a doctor can find problems in the heart valves, locate blockages or narrowing in blood vessels, take tissues samples from the heart, measure oxygen levels and pressure in different areas of the heart, detect congenital heart defects, and monitor heart pumping, explains Mayo Clinic. Treatments that utilize cardiac catheterization include the replacement or repair of heart valves, angioplasty, balloon valvuloplasty, heart arrhythmia treatment, blood clot treatments and the remedying of congenital heart defects. Recovery time is typically several hours, and the patient lies flat during this time to allow the punctured artery to heal and to prevent heavy bleeding.
Cardiac catheterization risks include stroke, heart attack, bruising, bleeding, infection, kidney damage, allergic reaction to the medication or dye, irregular heart rhythms, artery damage or tears in the artery or heart tissue, warns Mayo Clinic. Major complications from cardiac catheterization are rare. Pregnant women and those preparing for pregnancy should inform their doctors before having a cardiac catheterization.

THE second phase of the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) cash handout will be paid to recipients from next Monday.
Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz today also reminded that the appeal period for the government financial aid ends this Thursday, April 30, Malay Mail reported.
To date, he said RM5.47 billion in handouts have already been distributed to some 7.74 million BPN recipients, including 157,000 individuals without personal bank accounts who have collected their cash from Bank Simpanan Nasional outlets nationwide.
He said the ministry has so far received 3.26 million BPN applications, of which 305,000 are those appealing their statuses.
He also announced that applications for the Special Prihatin Grant for micro-businesses will open this Friday, May 1, with the finer details to be announced by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) soon.
Concerning the Wage Subsidy Program, Tengku Zafrul said that as of April 26, his ministry has approved applications from 195,000 entities involving 1.5 million employees, with subsidies amounting to RM1.35 billion in allocations so far.
Additionally, a total of RM4.5 billion has been approved to small, medium enterprises (SMEs) in loans involving 8,500 SMEs as of April 26.
Tengku Zafrul also announced that handouts of RM500 each for both serving and retired civil servants, including military veterans, have been released on April 23, while the RM200 one-off payment to 1.5 million university students was disbursed on April 27.
He also announced that the e-CAP initiative by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), is now hearing appeals from SMEs, with a maximum of 200 employees, that are looking to postpone or restructure their monthly contributions for March, April and May payments.
“For SMEs with more than 200 employees, if they need solutions other than what is offered through the e-CAP program, they can contact EPF for consideration, under the condition the SME has a good payment record before the Covid-19 outbreak,” he said.
He also revealed that RM95.4 million has since been raised by the GLC/GLIC Disaster Response Network (GDRN), with RM79 million already channelled to the Health Ministry in the form of 138 ventilators, 56,000 face masks, 69,000 medical gloves, and more than 1,700 personal protective equipment sets.

The goals of the registered society: Statutes
The importance of the forest
Trees influence the whole ecosystem: the soil and the sky.
Soil fertility means soil's ability to store moisture.
The importance of trees is still underestimated.
|Trees take on different tasks
|Windbreak||Storms are weakened, the fields are protected|
|Shadow||Soil temperature without shadows: 70 °. With shade: 36 °.|
|Rain||Trees release moisture into the air. Large trees up to 1000 liters of water in one day!
Above the land are clouds. It accumulates enough moisture until it rains.
|Above the earth||The tree is home to animals and insects.|
|Under the earth||The root system strengthens and invigorates the soil.
The soil is no longer swept away by water (erosion).
On a moist and cool soil, plants can form their roots well.
The invisible root system becomes more dense and stronger from year to year.
The rainworms come with the plants.
They make fertile soil from minerals, roots, leaves and other biological remnants.
The microbes, the very small creatures, come with the plants and the roots.
Beetles, microorganisms, fungi, sponges, lichens.
They produce nitrogen compounds (nitrates) that plants need to grow.
When water is scarce, they feed the roots of the plants and the microorganisms around them.
The plants can continue to grow.
This ecosystem affects fertility, the tiny inhabitants interact with each other.
There are more organisms in a single teaspoon of earth than there are humans on the earth.
The small creatures seem to know exactly what they are doing. They arrange and organize the chemical elements and transform them into the chemical compounds needed for the development and supply of even more complex creatures. These invisible creatures work together, they strengthen the soil and they further refine the soil to an infinite variety of mineral and nutrients. The roots form an organized subterranean network over time. They arrange the minerals. Carbon comes into the soil structure, where nitrogen is produced, which the plants can then "eat". Microbes form small networks of roads and paths through the soil. They can transport nutrients faster and more effectively than a plow can do. They feed the plants with these nutrients and strengthen their immune system.
What sounds fantastic here is reality: A human being consists of 100 trillion cells.
The little one makes the big thing possible. We can have confidence.
The earth is alive. The soil is alive. The more life, the better. Fertility is the result.

- BOYS BASKETBALL: East Uses Overtime To Edge Northeast
By Jeff Motz
Just as Lincoln East rallied, they had to take it one step further for victory.
The Spartans, behind 15 points a piece from senior forwards Clayton Shepard and Mike Rilett, earned a 57-52 overtime win over Lincoln Northeast Saturday night before an estimated crowd of 1,000 at the East Gym.
East (8-4) trailed as much as 39-29 late in the third quarter, before Clayton Shepard hit a three-pointer to spark a 14-0 run. Jacob Dunning had a two-handed dunk, then Shepard connected on another three and Mike Rilett had a breakaway one-handed dunk to tie the game at 39 with 5:30 left in regulation.
Defensively, East switched to a 1-3-1 zone defense and began to trap the ball, which led to four straight Northeast turnovers.
The Spartans got another basket from Bryan Reimers and Jacob Dunning added to free-throws for a 43-39 advantage with 4:02 to go. East went to a stall offense and a turnover gave the Northeast the ball with less than two minutes to play.
Shepard then fouled Northeast guard Ryan Garver, who hit one of two free-throws. The Spartans then got another basket on an alley oop toss to Reimers and the Rockets countered with a three-pointer from junior guard Dalton Hegeholz hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to 45-43 with 1:17 left in regulation.
East extended their lead with Dunning hitting a free-throw, but Northeast guard Spencer Kirk scored inside with 55 seconds left.
Rilett's jumper gave the Spartans some breathing room at 48-45. A jump ball with under 15 seconds left gave Northeast the ball that set up Derrick Curtis' three-pointer with four seconds left to force overtime.
East jumped out to a 52-48 lead to start overtime, behind back to back baskets from Rilett. After a Northeast free-throw from Springman, East got a couple of free throws from Shepard. Garver connected on a three-pointer that trimmed the Rocket deficit at 54-52 with 1:18 left in overtime. Dunning hit two free throws and Connor Long sealed the Spartan victory with a free-throw.
Northeast led much of the game, including 21-17 halftime advantage. The Rockets out rebounded the Spartans by a 30-25 margin and allowed only six offensive boards.
Springman led all scorers with 17 points for the Rockets, while Garver finished with 12 and Kirk added 10.
Reimers added 10 points for the Spartans.

The US stock futures are implying a lower opening for the major indices after the mixed results on Friday. The markets are worried about inflation, higher yields, China, higher oil, more than priced in Fed tightening, etc. The wall of worry is rising and has the futures implying a lower opening.
On the M&A front, Microsoft is looking to buy Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion ($95 per share). Activision shares are are trading at $87.80 in premarket trading. That is off the $95 purchase price as there is some antitrust concerns. Nevertheless it still represents a 34% increase from the close on Friday. Microsoft shares meanwhile are down 1.52% in premarket trading.
Goldman Sachs reported disappointed earnings early today and is trading down over 4.5%.
This week the market will get other earnings reports from Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, P&G, United airlines, Alcoa, American Airlines, Netflix and others as the earnings season starts to kick into another gear.
A look at the futures currently implies:
- Dow industrial average -360 points after Friday's -201.81 point decline
- S&P index -47 points after Friday's 3.82 point rise
- NASDAQ index -250 points after Friday's 86.94 point rise
For the NASDAQ index, it is set to open below its 200 day moving average at 14726.49. Recall from last week, the index fell below that key moving average for the first time since May 2020 on Monday but close back above. Again on Friday, the price dipped below the 200 day moving average only to close higher. Will the third time lead to selling and a close below the moving average for the first time since April 2020?

Tweak the algorithm all you want. It will never be a worthy substitute for a good book, a healthy debate or an honest friendship. As long as we trust software to shape our interaction with the world, life will be a disappointing, chaotic, infinite scroll.
There is no software that can force commenters to engage in respectful debate. There is no app to eliminate the immense conflicts of interest and perverse incentives of pay-per-view advertising sales. There is no subroutine to stop news organizations from competing in a race to the editorial bottom, seduced by clickbait and lusting for attention at any cost.
The rush of traffic from Facebook has been beneficial for the publications’ bottom lines. However, that has been accompanied by an avalanche of meaningless and disorienting social feedback — a thoughtless like, a forgotten share — that has pushed even the best publications toward clickbait and sensationalism. According to the analytics, that’s what people like. The result is that writers and editors have far less leeway to focus on what they believe is valuable, because the ultimate arbiter of success and prestige is the fleeting gratification of a page view. More news, faster news and trendier news paved the road to victory.


This is one of the easiest tools to use. Simply touch a cord or insert the tip into an outlet. The tip of the detector will light up if power is present, while some models also have an audible alarm as a secondary indicator. These are very safe and useful tools to address any home electrical project.
Replacing or testing a switch or receptacle: I’ve been guilty of using a small appliance or portable fan as my power indicator to confirm that I’ve turned off the appropriate power breaker. Not 100% safe. These voltage detectors have a tip that fits inside the receptacle to properly detect power and are 100% safe.
Open ended wires: If you ever locate or discover open-ended wires, you want to know if power is present before addressing.
Power strip troubleshooting: A power strip may have one or more outlets that are not working. You can test if the power strip itself is receiving power or an individual outlet is not transferring power.
Broken wire: Go along a cord or wire path and see where the power is disrupted. When testing power cords keep in mind that the internal wires are wound together in a spiral. You may have to move the detector around or along the cord to find the live internal wire. Also, non-contact voltage detectors do have sensitivity variations between brands and models.
Terms and Descriptions
Voltage Rating: Depending on the voltage range you want to detect, be sure to choose a detector or possibly multiple detectors that suit your needs. Some voltage detector models come with dual-range, so you can detect low and high voltage.
A typical single household circuit ranges from 110-240 VAC. The difference between a 600 or 1000 VAC detector will most likely not be an issue for homeowners. The high ratings are for professionals that want to read full voltage coming into circuit panels, etc. Again not something typical of a homeowner that is not experienced, trained, or properly licensed to work with.
Low voltage wires, e.g. thermostat or doorbell, are typically rated for 24 VAC and lower.
Automotive electrical systems range from 12-16 VDC.
CAT III: Refers to measurements on hard-wired equipment in fixed installations, distribution boards, and circuit breakers. Other examples are wiring, including cables, bus bars, junction boxes, switches, and socket outlets in the fixed installation.
CAT IV: Rated test instruments are designed for testing on the primary supply source, which also includes 120V or 240V overhead or underground lines that power detached buildings or underground lines that power well pumps. The CAT IV rating covers the highest and most dangerous level of transient over-voltage.
All non-contact voltage detectors have an LED indicator light and replaceable batteries.
Some models come equipped with an audible alarm as well, which may have a silence option.

Please view all the brands and models we put together in the buying guide to learn the features and what may work best for your needs. We personally tested and compared a few brands, including: Milwaukee, Klein, Santronics, Fluke, and there were notable differences.
- Each varied on the audible sound levels. I would like to see manufacturers list this in their specs as it is important to some) and frequency of the beep, which could get annoying or welcomed, depending on the person.
- Some models have no work light, while the Milwaukee units have a very bright light.
- Static electricity is read by all the units, however will only causes flashes of light and single chirps instead of steady light and steady audible alarms for true voltage. The Santronics is the only brand without an audible off switch, but doesn’t create an audible sound for static electricity, which is a nice feature.
- We found brands like Milwaukee, Klein, and Fluke are very sensitive. The Santronics had to be much closer, if not touching a wire that was open or has sheathing, before the indicators would activate. Though all brands and models tested had to make contact with the exterior of a cord before detecting voltage.
Note: A response from the Santronic said, “Our voltage testers are manufactured, printed, and packaged in the US.”

The minimum pot size is around 3-4 inches. So yeah they should be fine like Phil said. BUT you can create a very neat site like I did. Take around 8-10 CP's like VFT and some Sarracenia and plant them all in a 15-10 inch pot. It is an awesome site to see. Very cool look to it.
As soon as I get a vft it gets repotted. It seems to help.
The resovoir type pots work really well and are low maintenance. Although, I think that taller pots are better since I always have roots on the bottom of my pots

Utah County burglary suspect shot by officers in South Salt Lake
Feb 8, 2024, 7:20 AM | Updated: 3:01 pm
SOUTH SALT LAKE — A man accused of stealing a car from an impound lot in American Fork was shot by officers in South Salt Lake but is expected to survive.
The American Fork Police Department said Kevin Ballew, 36, shot a gate lock over 20 times on Tuesday before driving a silver Honda Civic through the gate. Officers said Ballew owned the Civic and visited the impound lot on Monday to collect a piece of property.
Police warned the public to keep an eye out for Ballew, who was considered armed and dangerous. Late Wednesday, police found the stolen car in a South Salt Lake parking lot near 700 West and 3800 South.
“The individual got out of the vehicle, started to walk away from the vehicle, so officers approached,” American Fork police Lt. Kevin Doyl said. “A foot pursuit ensued. I don’t know how that happened and somehow, during the foot pursuit, shots were fired.”
A release from American Fork police on Thursday explained that when Ballew exited the vehicle, American Fork officers and investigators moved to apprehend him, given the danger Ballew posed to the public.
Ballew fled from officers into an apartment complex and used various areas and objects to hide.
The Department of Public Safety helicopter guided officers on scene to Ballew’s various locations until four officers found Ballew and began to issue commands.
The release states, “At this point, Ballew presented a threat to officers resulting in three of the officers firing their weapons, striking Ballew.”
No officers were injured in the encounter.
Officers provided life-saving care until paramedics could arrive. Ballew was transported to a local hospital in critical condition and is expected to survive.
A handgun was recovered from Ballew’s possession at the time of the shooting, however, it is unknown at this time if Ballew fired his weapon. Three officers were equipped with body cameras at the time of the shooting.
The shooting is being investigated and several officers who were involved in the shooting and they will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

Well told you it was being talked about, seems not just in the rare soul world, heres an article ripped from Scotlands biggest selling evening paper "Evening Times" on Saturdays nite.
Just found out its Written by Beverley Adams and is up at
ONE CLUB THAT LOOKS TO THE PAST
"Dance night has best of 60s soul"
PUT on your best Clarks shoes, prepare your hands for lots of action and dont bring your drink on the dance floor.
Scotlands youngest Northern Soul Night presents its third outing on Saturday at the Woodside social Club, Kelvinbridge, and there is a collection of unspoken rules for those who go.
Northern Soul, for those of you who are unaware, is a music movement which grew out of the dreams and desires of factory workers in places like Detroit and Chicago in the 60s. Long before House Music dominated the club scene Teary ;eyed teenages stayed up all night to dance without a partner as the small, independent labels made music that appealed to our hearts and souls.
Northern Soul wasnt Motown, it didnt have the financial backing. In the 70s, as much of the music was discovered, it was popular in Britains industrial corners like the North and East Midlands and, in Scotland, Shotts! The Wigan Casino club was probably the most famed of these places with a membership of 100,000 in its heyday. Thirty years on and Scotlands youngest Northern Soul club is continuing the tradition of playing rarities and originals you wont find in most record shops.
Although the club only started in September it has won acclaim in what is a notoriously difficult scene to crack. On Saturday night the guest DJ is Irish Greg, promoter and DJ at Londons world famous Capitol Soul Club.
From 9pm until 2am DJs Scotch Martin and Big Lenny will play the best of 60s Black America.
Hit Read more to read the rest of article
Martin was a guest DJ at Londons 100 Club soul all-nighter this month and he maintains that despite the long history of soul music this is definitely not a retro night.
Martin, who puts on the night with fellow northern Soul specialist Kevin McCardle, says: "Northern Soul has always been about progression, finding new, undiscovered records from the 60s and making them popular.
"In recent years, some nights have tended to play all oldies from the 70s heyday, but were definitely more into newly discovered or underplayed records. This policy keeps it current and relevant today, so punters shouldnt expect just Motowns greatest hits."
Norman Cook (AKA Fat Boy Slim) certainly felt the music was relevant whenhe sampled a northern classic called Sliced Tomatoes for his hit Funk Soul Brother (thats the catchy guitar lick). Artists including Paul Weller, Sharleen Spiteri and
Belle & Sebastian all credit the music as a major influence and over thirty years on it shows no sign of going away.
Northern Soul has its own etiquette and anyone attending the night should clap loudly after hearing a record they like ; the name will =
be announced by the DJ so you know who you are listening to. Expect intricate dancing on the floor as people take their music seriously, and
taking your drink onto the hallowed dance floor is the equivalent of setting fire to the venue.
You can also expect some record stalls selling original Northern Soul numbers on the night. But beware, some records can cost around £500 and one was even known to sell for £15,000. There is a lot of kudos attached to finding an original.
Admission to www.Caledoniasoul.com is £5. Doors open at 9pm and close at 12.30am.

Six cases of angiosarcoma of the scalp are reported. The tumors are histologically indistinguishable from the "postmastectomy" lymphangiosarcomas reported by Stewart and Treves. With a single exception they were extensive, aggressive neoplasms that widely infiltrated the dermis and soft tissues. Although these tumors are rare malignancies of the skin, there appears to be a peculiar, unexplained predilection for the scalp.

Kylian Mbappe joins the nationwide outcry over the racial-hate crime which saw 3 policemen give a 5-minute beating to a black music producer.
1. Black music producer beat by 3 policemen in Paris.
2. Kylian Mbappe condemns the racial hate crime incident in Paris.
3. Officials who were accused of beating a black man, suspended after a video of it went viral.
3 policemen in Paris suspended for unlawfully beating up black music producer:
The French government has suspended 3 law enforcement officials when they had been visible on video beating up a black tune manufacturer in principal Paris. The incident on Saturday has precipitated a clean outcry over the behavior of French safety forces.
France’s proposed law to ban posting images of police, come under criticism:
The incidents come because the authorities attempt to herald legal guidelines banning the printed of law enforcement officials’ faces. Critics of the law say that without such images, not one of the incidents which happened over the last week could have come to light.
A video of 3 policemen beating a black man goes viral via Loopsider:
On Thursday, French soccer big name Kylian Mbappe, who’s black, joined countrywide teammates and fellow athletes in condemning the cutting-edge incident. The safety digital digicam video was changed into posted on Thursday with the aid of using the web information site online Loopsider. It suggests 3 officials kicking, punching, and the use of their truncheons on the person after he entered his studio. Loopsider stated he had first of all been stopped for now no longer sporting a mask.
Black music producer says he was racially abused in the 5-minute beating:
Michel stated that he changed into additionally subjected to racist abuse at some point of the five-minute beating. He changed into detained and charged with violence and resisting arrest, however, prosecutors threw the costs out and alternatively opened research in opposition to the officials.

Terraforms labs launched Terra in 2018, with Terra being an open-source blockchain payment platform for an algorithmic stablecoin - a cryptocurrency that automatically tracks the price of currencies or other assets. The Terra blockchain was designed to enable users to instantly spend, save, trade or exchange Terra stablecoins.
The Terra protocol creates stablecoins pegged to each other and consists of two cryptocurrency tokens - Terra and Luna - which can be exchanged for each other. This is the burn and mint equilibrium. Algorithmic stablecoin, Luna, is a cryptocurrency and rather than use a dollar to back its stablecoin, Terra used its native coin, UST, which was meant to be stable, whilst Luna was meant to absorb its volatility.
So, how does Terra’s algorithm work?
More Luna is generated to purchase as much UST needed to keep it at a 1$ value. If the price of Luna goes back to normal (i.e., $1) the excess Luna is burnt. In essence, an algorithm is needed to manage the underlying token. The algorithm is constantly buying or selling to maintain the balance and so keep Terra at $1. Luna was designed to absorb the price volatility of UST, since more selling pressure for UST decreases the price of Luna.

What happened, it is believed, is that the Terra project grew too fast. This could be attributed to the high annual percentage yield (APY) of 20% , the return being offered to those who wanted to Yield Farm (where the owner of a crypto agrees to lend or borrow crypto on a DeFi platform and is paid/pays a APY based on the value of the crypto lent/borrowed). This was one of the highest in the space, and many people rushed in to take advantage of the high APY. The protocol also allowed for instant withdrawal, unlike some yield farming protocols which require lenders to lock up their crypto holdings for a set period of time. Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX, said: “Terra was a case of “mass enthusiasm” and “excitement” with bad marketing.”
The trouble is, that whilst Terra wasn’t a Ponzi scheme it turnouts it had several loopholes that arbitragers and investors were quick to exploit. But Terra was not shrouded in anonymity as most Ponzi projects are. Furthermore, arbitragers usually take advantage of the native coin being above a dollar to make a profit - for instance, if Luna is $1.05, they could buy $100 worth which becomes $105 Luna, then sell 100 Luna for 100 UST, whereby making a $5 profit. This is a low-risk investment for most arbitragers and can also be done on the flipside. All the while they are doing this, the algorithm keeps trying to make it a stablecoin. So, what happens when many arbitragers start exploiting the market to make gains? Well, it looks like a Ponzi…..
The second moving part is the Anchor protocol, the primary lending/protocol for the Terra ecosystem. Roughly 70% of UST in circulation is sitting in Anchor and this makes Anchor a significant stakeholder. But Anchor gave anchor tokens to borrowers as an incentive, and the amounts they get can be more than what they pay in interest. Both Anchor and Luna noticed the slack and moved to nullify them. Anchor topped up its yield reserve to $450 million. Luna upped its daily swap limit from $20 million to $100 million. This was to prevent whales from manipulating the system, but arbitragers could take advantage of high volatility if the limit was too low. Luna also raised $1 billion worth of bitcoin as a reserve for defending the UST.
But the reserves were sold, and the Terra blockchain frozen on May 12th, all without the permission of the community. This also contributed to the death spiral of Terra.
Luna had a vast ecosystem surrounding it; unlike most cryptocurrencies, Luna had utility.
But what, or who, caused the death spiral?
Some hedge funds are being labelled as the players that accumulated $1 billion UST and borrowed $3 billion-worth of bitcoin that brought TerraForm Labs down. Blackrock, Citadel, and Gemini securities have all denied having any involvement in the crash. The crash has intensified discussions around regulation by stakeholders; treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, has urged Congress to pass a law on stablecoins following the crash of Terra. Japan has already passed a new law to cover stablecoins whilst the UK equally has a new regulation on the way following Terra’s crash. South Korea, the birthplace of Do Kwon, is not left behind as his legal troubles are just beginning, and a digital asset committee is being launched in Korea. Recently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is currently investigating whether the marketing of Terra violated investor protection regulations. However, Terra employees have allegedly confirmed to the SEC that Do Kwon withdrew $80 million, months before the Terra’s crash - but why did Kwon know something that others did not? Unsurprisingly, for this the SEC is investigating Do Kwon for money laundering.
The market capitalisation of five stablecoins in $billions
Since the fall of Terra, Tether (another stablecoin) has fallen by almost $11billion. Yet Tether, even though it is not 100% $ backed, has not collapsed. Could the same be true if a commercial bank saw its deposit base fall by almost 10% in a few days? Of all cryptocurrencies, fiat-pegged stablecoins are the least risky but the challenge is that not all stablecoins are backed 100% by fiat, as was the case of the algorithmic UST. Not all cryptocurrencies are decentralised as some aspects get centralised with time and usage. If a stablecoin is to be stable, should it not backed to stable reserves? In any event, promoted not as stable but pegged to the assets it is purporting to represent? At one time, hedge fund manager, George Soros, broke the Bank of England by short-selling the British pound, making $1billion on 16th September, 1992. An event now known as Black Wednesday, the UK pound slumped so much that the government began spending £ billions in an attempt to contain the short selling - only for the UK to go into a recession afterwards.
At the very least, algorithmic coins surely ought to have stronger risk warnings attached to them. Whilst the crypto industry has come under heavy scrutiny over the past few days, it is important to note that something similar has happened to traditional banks multiple times. Without government bail outs and support, not all would be here today and some such as Lehman brothers, indeed, did not survive. For now, whilst it has fallen in value, at least the crypto market continues to trade 24/7 allowing investors to sell as well as buy. Furthermore, we have not seen long queues of people trying to cash-in their holdings as we certainly saw in 2008 when some banks seemed to have run out of cash! When we compare the centuries old bank and the young crypto market, the crypto market has done well. Indeed, it has been sorely tested.

‘She was not afraid to challenge authority’ Remembering the legacy of an activist for the disabled
Activist Margaret Carter has left a void that has never been filled.
That was the word from her friends and family twenty years after her death. Today she would have celebrated her 74th birthday.
She was the founder and President of the Bermuda Physically Handicapped Association (BPHA) and advocated for people in Bermuda with disabilities to have access to buildings, services and education. She was also a human rights campaigner and a writer.
“Margaret was talented, witty and irreverent,” recalled friend and journalist Meredith Ebbin. “She was not afraid to challenge authority. She led the campaign for people with disabilities to receive anti-discrimination protection in the Human Rights Acts, among other things.”
She was born with muscular dystrophy, a degenerative disease that causes muscle weakness. Her mother took her to New York as a toddler to seek medical treatment, but by age 11, she was permanently wheelchair-bound. She attended Mount St Agnes Academy, because it was the only school willing to accept her as a student.
She was a lot more fortunate than other Bermudians with disabilities in her era, as they were usually kept at home or worse, housed in a psychiatric hospital such as St Brendans (now the Mid Atlantic Wellness Institute).
Ms Ebbin believed that it was her education that allowed her to so successfully challenge the system.
“She was a powerful advocate for Bermudians with disabilities, mental and physical, and her death left a void that has yet to be replaced,” said Ms Ebbin.
She thought Miss Carter’s legacy today includes the mainstreaming of children with disabilities into the regular school system, Summerhaven a residence for the handicapped, ramps on Hamilton city street and even the elevator in the Bermuda National Library.
“Margaret could only use the ground floor of the library in her lifetime because there was no elevator,” said Ms Ebbin. Miss Carter did not technically found Summerhaven, but it was arguably the direct result of her pushing for a residence where people with physically disabilities could live independently.
“Without her insistence that such a home was needed, we would never have had a Summerhaven,” said Ms Ebbin.
Miss Carter shared the same birthday as her good friend, the late Dame Lois Browne-Evans, and they would always make a point to wish each other happy birthday. They shared an interest in ending oppression in the community.
Miss Carter was a member of the Anti-Apartheid Coalition (ANC) in Bermuda founded in 1987 along with Ron Lightbourne, Glenn Fubler, and Canon Thomas Nisbett.
Mr Fubler said: “Initially, it was difficult getting people on board with the ANC. We started a fundraising effort to send funds to South Africa. We put on a couple of events and they weren’t that successful. Margaret got a group of disabled people involved in a wheel-a-thon from St George to Hamilton on a Sunday afternoon. This particular Sunday there was torrential rain and I had the flu so I couldn’t go out. Margaret’s group came out in that bad weather. That image of them travelling in the rain galvanised the movement in Bermuda. It was a real take off point.”
He recalled when anti-apartheid activist Archbishop Trevor Huddleston visited Bermuda. He had been a mentor to people like Bishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela.
“During his time here, Margaret had a small bus,” said Mr Fubler. “He saw the Island by way of Margaret’s bus.”
Mr Fubler said her commitments went way beyond the disabled community to wherever human rights were violated.
“Her integrity and commitment were exemplary,” said Mr Fubler.
Lowdru Robinson was Director of the Ministry of Community Affairs in 1990 at the time when Margaret was Chairperson of the BPHA. Working together they brought about Access Awareness Week in Bermuda, which was celebrated in Bermuda for many years.
“One project that I recall with fondness is our attempt to have City Hall made accessible for wheelchairs,” said Mr Robinson. “Mayor Dismont agreed to our request to spend one working day in a wheelchair as he carried out his duties.”
The result of this project was that a ramp and an elevator were installed in City Hall.
“One of my proudest moments was pushing Margaret in her wheelchair up the new ramp when it was officially opened by Mayor Dismont,” said Mr Robinson.
He said he was disappointed when the Ministry was unable to include people with disabilities in the Human Rights Act 1981.
“However, I took comfort from Margaret’s grit and determination,” he said. “Undaunted, and with her positive attitude, she resolved that she would continue to lobby for an amendment until it was achieved. And today, thanks to her hard work, it has been achieved.”
Miss Carter was also a passionate writer and loved making crafts and being creative. Her good friend and fellow writer, Ronald Lightbourne, said both her home Rothesay, on Mount Hill, Pembroke and the offices of the BPHA at Prospect were put at the disposal of creative and political activities.
“Writers met at Rothesay, included novelists Angela Barry and Brian Burland, journalist Meredith Ebbin, fiction writers Rawle Frederick, Nelda Simons, the late Joanne Pratt; and film maker Errol Williams,” said Mr Lightbourne. “They all were friends who visited and took part in creative activities, particularly Writers’ Marathons. She took the sending out of my poems in hand and had an uncanny knack of choosing the right magazine for them.”
Miss Carter and Mr Lightbourne co-wrote the 1989 road show We Are You and contributed to the Bermuda Writers’ Collective book of short stories ‘Palmetto Wine,’ which was published in 1990.
Mr Lightbourne’s daughter Jessica Lightbourne spent a lot of time with Miss Carter and called her “a gift from the Great Creator”.
“There is so much left to accomplish in the community with respect to access for people with all types of disabilities,” said Ms Lightbourne. “I believe that people are just not aware. Bermudians are more conscious now than they have ever been about Bermuda’s history of racial exclusion and white privilege. I believe this is due to more and more discourse in the public domain with respect to these inequities, however uncomfortable or inconvenient they might be to address.
“I believe that many people who have not been labelled ‘disabled’ do not recognise their ‘able bodied privilege’.”
Miss Carter was known to say that “we are all just able-bodied temporarily”.
“Most of us are not conscious of the barrier a flight of stairs at a restaurant or store or government office might become, and we do not think about intellectual accessibility and inclusiveness as much as we could,” said Ms Lightbourne.
Miss Carter died from complications of a stroke just after Boxing Day in 1992. She was 53 years old.
For several years Access Awareness Week was organised by the BPHA in June to coincide with Ms Carter’s birthday. This is no longer done. Last year the National Office for Seniors and the Physically Challenged (NOSPC) held the Built Environment Accessibility Awards in December to recognise International Day of Persons with Disabilities.


Edinburgh joins Global Day of Action for Climate Justice
Thousands of people marched through Edinburgh on Saturday 12th November as part of Global Day of Action during the UN Climate Conference COP27.
The March was demanding action on warmer homes, better public transport and a speedy transition away from oil and gas. This will help address the cost of living crisis as well as cut climate pollution.
The route through the capital took the crowd past different stops highlighting the banks, polluters and governments who are driving climate breakdown.
The event also drew attention to the importance of upholding human rights in responding to the climate crisis, both here in the UK and around the world. The issue of brutal repression of civil society in Egypt has come under the spotlight as they host COP27.
The march was one of over 40 events across the UK and Ireland on a Global Day of Action for Climate Justice.
The Stops along the Climate March route
The march kicked off by demanding action on a global scale for climate justice.
People heard how communities in the Global South need urgent climate finance and reparations for the loss and damages that have caused mass destruction of lives and livelihoods. This is one of the priority issues for Global South countries at the UN climate talks COP27.
Extinction Rebellion’s Red Rebels gave a powerful performance and drew attention to how much has already been lost to climate breakdown.
Joan Forehand, from Extinction Rebellion Scotland said that “None of us are going to be insulated from the climate crisis but there is terrible injustice and unfairness to this catastrophe.
“The wealthy have caused the most emissions, yet it is the poorest of humanity who are going to suffer disproportionately. Their natural resources have been extracted to create wealth for others. They are losing their homes, their futures and their lands and they don’t have the resources to protect themselves or rebuild their lives.
“It’s only fair that loss and damage payments are given to those who will suffer the most from this crisis, through no fault of their own. Without the justice of loss and damage, efforts to avoid ever worsening climate breakdown will stall and everyone will suffer.”
Banks are financing climate destruction
Global Justice Now held protests outside the HSBC bank on Hanover Street, drawing attention to the bank’s role in charging high interest rates for debt repayments from African countries.
Countries in the Global South are currently spending 5 times more on unjust debt repayments than they are addressing the impact of the climate crisis.
Liz Murray, head of Scottish campaigns at Global Justice Now explained why they were taking action: “This profit-driven system is hurting us all – here in the UK and around the world. And countries in the Global South are getting hit particularly hard. They’re suffering some of the worst impacts of climate change, despite having played almost no part in causing it, and they’re additionally burdened by enormous debts.
“We showed people that banks here in Scotland are implicated in that – with companies like HSBC and BlackRock making big profits from the interest on those debts and refusing to cancel them.”
Natasha Ion, climate campaigner at Banktrack, said their organisation would be outside Santander bank on Hanover Street highlighting the fact that world’s largest banks have pumped $4.6 trillion dollars into fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement was signed.
Santander also finances the world’s largest meat packing company JBS, who are hugely complicit in Amazon deforestation in Brazil.
Ion explainer: “The climate march made clear to the banks that they must go beyond burning, and stop financing the extractivism that is wrecking the planet. The fossil fuel industry is one of the main drivers of climate change, and has been implicated in endless human rights violations, primarily against Indigenous communities and those on the frontlines of extraction in the Global South.
“Commercial banks also finance major companies guilty of mass deforestation in regions such as Latin America. The highly polluting meat and dairy industry, with massive business like JBS at the centre, has consistently encroached on indigenous lands and been active in illegal deforestation.”
No climate justice without human rights
Civic participation is essential to solving the climate crisis, and human rights are central to climate justice. Yet around the world, including here in the UK, governments are increasingly persecuting activists, cracking down on protest and restricting civic space. Civil society activists in Egypt, hosts of this year’s COP, face persecution from one of the most repressive regimes in the world.
Demonstrators took to East Market Street to demand freedom for all political prisoners unjustly detained by the Egyptian regime, including the high profile case of British-Egyptian blogger Alaa Abd El Fattah who is on hunger strike in prison.
Participants in the march heard loud and clear that there is no climate justice without human rights and the rallying cry of the Free Alaa campaign: We have not yet been defeated!
Stop new fossil fuel projects
Campaigners who are demanding an end to new fossil fuels projects focused their energies on the UK Government building on Sibbald Walk. Since COP26 the UK Government has opened new oil and gas fields, encouraged further exploration and is considering approving the huge Rosebank oil field that contains 500 million barrels of oil.
Mary O’Brien, a grandmother of 10 who is involved in the Stop Rosebank campaign said “Given the urgency and seriousness of the climate emergency, it is unbelievable that we are even having to fight against new oil and gas fields like Rosebank. But thousands of people across the UK and around the world are coming together to stop these climate-wrecking projects and to build that better future.
“I’m doing this for my grandchildren and for future generations, so that they can have a liveable planet. Thousands of people heard our call today for a rapid and fair transition away from fossil fuels to reliable, affordable renewables.”
Demand climate solutions that address cost of living
The march culminated at the Scottish Parliament with a plea to end the cost of living scandal.
With the fossil fuel energy price crisis driving the financial pressures being felt by people across Scotland, protestors from Living Rent and others were there to remind MSPs and the Scottish Government what they can and must do. Action such as insulating homes, improving public transport and speeding the transition to renewables can cut climate pollution as well as improve lives.
At the Parliament, attendees were serenaded by Rhythms of Resistance and choir group Protest in Harmony who echoed Greta Thunberg demands for ‘no more blah blah blah’ from politicians.
Huge thanks to everyone who came and marched on Saturday. Particular thanks to the stewards, musicians and performers!
The Edinburgh Climate March was organised by the Edinburgh Climate Coalition, Climate Justice Coalition, Stop Climate Chaos Scotland, Friends of the Earth Scotland, Global Justice Now, Extinction Rebellion Scotland, Tipping Point, BankTrack, Jubilee Scotland, Scot.E3.


BMW will invest £600m into the 110-year-old plant that gave birth to the MINI brand in an attempt to ignite the production of the new generation electric model of the small, iconic, four-seated car, according to newspaper reports.
Although Secretary of State for Trade Kemi Badenoch has avoided corroborating the exact figure, unnamed sources have confirmed that the firm’s decision to invest in the Oxford plant is financially supported by the UK government. In addition, the parties involved did not dispute a previous subsidy of £75m by the government to the carmaker, it was reported in the Financial Times.
The £600 investment is, without a doubt, a big win for the UK car-making sector, which recorded last year its lowest level of production since 1956.
It is even better news for the almost 4,000 workers of the plant whose jobs are now secure. Eleven months ago, a setback hit the Oxford factory and its 3,400 employees, when BMW revealed its decision to move the production of electric Minis to China.
Milan Nedeljković, BMW’s board member told the Guardian: “With this new investment we will develop the Oxford plant for production of the new generation of electric MINIs and set the path for purely electric car manufacturing in the future.”
BMW has announced its plans to begin the production of the next-generation electric Mini Cooper in 2026 while continuing to manufacture traditional combustion engines. Starting from 2030 however, the factory will exclusively focus on electric vehicle production.

“BMW’s investment is another shining example of how the UK is the best place to build cars of the future,” explained British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
While the PM seems to be convinced that the UK is doing exceptionally well at supporting the car manufacturing industry, the numbers suggest otherwise. Government investment into the UK’s auto industry has amounted to £6 billion since 2020, which is significantly smaller when compared to the $72 billion allocated by North America following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US last year.


Several methods of dispensing accuracy control will be suita
作者:Precision control?日期:2019-03-06 22:24?浏览:
This is the several methods of guaranteeing the dispensing accuracy control and the practical operation methods that Xiaobian wants to talk about, so that you can understand the methods and techniques of controlling the dispensing quantity more clearly.
Three Kinds of Controllable Dispensing Precision Accessories
The automatic dispensing machine is equipped with 212 dispensing valves, pneumatic devices, controllers and so on. These accessories are directly related to the accuracy control. Although the most direct dispensing accuracy control is to use the appropriate dispensing needle, there is also an indirect relationship with the accessories. Let me tell you how to choose the needle first. If your dispensing requirement is 3 mm, use the needle with 1 mm outer diameter, that's all. To meet the production needs, according to our practical experience, the actual requirements except 3, just equal to the number of needle diameters to be used.
Dispensing valve mixing method
And 2121 dispensing valve, which has the function of adjusting glue volume, inaccurate needle volume in use, fine-tuning function of dispensing valve, adjusting, can reduce and improve glue volume, ensure dispensing accuracy control system, which is one of the main advantages of automatic dispensing machine, can naturally adjust glue volume, ensure accuracy requirements.
In addition to the 2121 dispensing valve, it is the pneumatic device and controller of the automatic dispensing machine. The pneumatic device mainly controls the air pressure, while the glue volume is controlled by the air pressure. Therefore, if we grasp the air pressure well, we can also improve the dispensing accuracy control. Then it is the controller. The general controller will have the effect of backsuction, which can ensure that the glue does not leak and drip. This is what we are doing. Tell you the way.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Flight cancellations and delays continued to disrupt holiday travel at the nation’s airports Monday, including at Los Angeles International Airport amid harsh winter weather and a surge in COVID-19 cases caused by the omicron variant.
As of 10 p.m., the tracking site FlightAware.com listed 39 cancellations Monday for flights into or out of Los Angeles International Airport, along with 485 involving flights into or out of the United States, and 1,773 total cancellations around the world. LAX's website listed 33 cancellations for Monday.
"This evening will be another busy travel day. There are cancellations and delays around the country, including at LAX tonight, so please check your flight status with your airline for the latest and arrive with extra time," LAX tweeted Monday.
Airlines cited labor shortages related to the omicron surge for the cancellation of hundreds of flights over the weekend. The problems continued Monday, with more than 8,000 flights to, from and within the United States having been canceled since Christmas Eve, according to data from FlightAware, an online flight tracking service.
To check on flights in and out of LAX, check with the flight tracking service FlightAware or with your airport.
Delta, United, JetBlue and American have all cited coronavirus staffing problems. European and Australian airlines also canceled holiday-season flights because staff were infected, but weather and other factors played a role as well, The Associated Press reported.
Weather also played a role in the United States. Snow in the Pacific Northwest Sunday led to nearly 250 flight cancellations in and out of Seattle Sunday, according to Alaska Airlines, which expected about 100 weather-related flight cancellations Monday, the AP reported. COVID-19 wasn’t a factor in the cancellations.
United Airlines canceled 115 of nearly 4,000 flights Monday because staff and crew members called in sick with COVID-19, the airline said.
Complicating matters, Sun Country Airlines and others canceled domestic flights because of a third-party network system outage Monday.
More staffing problems are possible.
“We have seen an increasing number of sick calls from omicron,” the airline said, adding it had entered the holiday season with the highest staffing levels since the pandemic began,” Jet Blue said in a statement.
“Despite our best efforts, we’ve had to cancel a number of flights, and additional flight cancellations and other delays remain a possibility.”
Orange County's John Wayne Airport had six cancellations Monday, Long Beach Airport had one and Hollywood/Burbank Airport had none, according to Flight Aware.
On Sunday, LAX saw 138 cancellations, with 29 at John Wayne Airport, nine in Burbank and two in Long Beach, according to Flight Aware. Nationwide, there were 1,463 cancellations Sunday, and 3,248 worldwide.
There were 96 cancellations at LAX on Christmas Day and 86 on Friday.
