| Here is the last article about the Campagnolo 2009 news. |
We unveiled into the details the 11s groupsets and the gorgeous Super Record a few days ago, now let's see what the italian manufacturer has developped regarding the wheels.
First of all, the two high range aluminium wheels feature the Two-way Fit technology: they accept both the clincher and tubeless tires. According to Campagnolo, there are a lot of advantages. Beside slowing down the loss of pressure in case of puncture, it eliminates the risk of pinch puncture, and it reduces significantly the rolling resistance.
Thus, in the italian laboratory, the high range wheel equipped with a tubeless tire, stopped after 210m from an initial speed of 40km/hn while the clincher version stopped after only 160m.
The conditions of the test are not exactly specified but it tells a lot about the rolling resistance difference.
The Shamal and Eurus 2009 wheels feature this new technology. Technically speaking, the rim is obviously not drilled, and the valve drilling received an appendix to prevent the pressure loss in case of Tubeless tire. Only the tubeless made by the french manufacturer Hutchinson are guaranteed compatible.
The Shamal Ultra Two-way fit weight 1450g and the Eurus Two-way 1550g. Basically, there is no difference, regarding the spokes and hubs, with the current 2008 versions.
Bora/Hyperon Ultra two
The high range wheels do not receive dramatic modifications. Campagnolo is coming back to ceramic bearings here and the name is different: the Bora Ultra is now the Bora Ultra two. The name change is similar for the Hyperon. The ceramic bearings of these wheels feature the CULT technology as the 2009 high range cranksets bearings. The bearings races are very hard, the balls are in ceramic, there is a very little, or no grease at all, and there is no seal to reduce the friction as much as possible.

The development of this technology was the result of an animal control agency's request for a no lead .2644 bullet that would provide extensive wound trauma with little minimal pass through energy. Basically the idea was to burst the bullet into numerous particles at a predetermined depth creating many wounds and a large temporary cavity with shot placement at or near the central nervous system. The agency had tried copper matrix frangible rounds and found the penetration depth and particle size were less than what was require for proper terminal performance.
- Many wound channels resulting in extensive damage
- CNC machined from solid copper or brass, not formed or swaged
- Exceptional accuracy from the advanced manufacturing process
- A separate base for penetration along the original trajectory
- No lead designs for agencies requiring green projectiles
- Top of the line brass cases using new OCD technology to create the most consistent rifle cases on the market by far
- Match grade primer
- Match grade smokeless rifle powder

They do things big in the Lone Star State: and stories don’t come larger than that of the first ever man on the moon. With the 50th anniversary of the moon landings fast approaching (the Apollo 11 spacecraft touched down on the Moon on July 20, 1969), Houston, Texas is back in the spotlight.
Although Apollo 11 blasted off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, it was Space Center Houston that played the role of Mission Control for the historic event. Its large collection of moon rocks and spacecraft make this one of the city’s leading attractions and a highlight of an all new fly-drive from Bon Voyage, the leading specialist tour operator to North America.
Called Deep in the Heart of Texas – the Go Big or Go Home Tour, this is a thorough exploration of a state that’s twice the size of Germany. The suggested, tailor-made, 20-day itinerary takes in edgy Austin, cowboy country and frontier history on a journey that makes the most of the Lone Star State’s diversity. In addition to Space Center Houston, explore the Alamo (see photo above), Amarillo and the stark beauty of Big Bend National Park before taking in Palo Duro Canyon and the 62,000-year-old Odessa Meteor Crater. Enjoy a bit of Texas two-stepping and live music in Forth Worth, then continue to Dallas to discover the story of JFK at the fascinating Sixth Floor Museum.
The holiday costs from £2,995 per person and includes flights (from London, Manchester or Glasgow), quality accommodation (room-only basis), car hire and a personalised “road book” containing day-by-day and travel tips.

So many of us are struggling right now. In transition. Letting go of places we love. But most of us are not starving and have clean water, heat and a roof over our heads. What about those less fortunate? What can we do for them?
This week is Social Media Week and I am one of 150 bloggers throughout the world sending a message from guest blogger Sarah Lessen. 12.4 million people are in need of emergency assistance in Africa right now. Children are dying from starvation. Sarah shows us just one small way we can help them. Let’s do it together.

Windmills of Mykonos
The windmills of Mykonos are a iconic and well-known symbol of the island. These traditional windmills are located in the town of Chora, also known as Mykonos Town, and are a popular tourist attraction.
The windmills of Mykonos were originally built in the 16th century by the Venetians and were used to grind grain. As the island’s economy shifted towards tourism, the windmills fell into disuse, and many of them have been converted into luxury homes or restaurants.
The windmills’ tops are traditionally made of twelve wooden fan blades each with a triangular-shaped wing made from a very strong fabric—usually the same cotton canvas used for sails in boats.
When the wind blows, the windmill carries the movement to a central axis inside the building, forcing the grindstones below into a rotational movement.
In order to take advantage of the force of that movement at its strongest, the grinding mechanism used to be on the top floor while the flour was gathered on the second floor.
On the Aegean islands, windmills took advantage of the northern wind, called the Meltemi, to grind barley, wheat, and other locally produced cereals.
The windmills of Mykonos are located on a hilltop, providing a great view of the town, the sea and the sunset. Only two of the standing windmills of Mykonos can currently be visited. Geronimo’s Mill, which dates back to 1700, is the oldest windmill on the island, and it produced flour until the 1960s. They are also great spot for photography.

Jennifer Appel, one of the two women rescued by the US Navy last week, has responded to the criticism that came shortly after they reached Japan. Appel said that the hull was solid, they were floating, had food and water and had limited maneuverable capacity. She added that all of those things did not say they were going to die.
The two women reached Japan after being lost at sea for five months. They were rescued last week by the US Navy after a Taiwanese fishing vessel spotted them but couldn’t tow their boat.
Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava, who claim they were lost at sea for five months, are now facing questions about their story. A Coast Guard review and interviews with the two have revealed that they had an emergency beacon but decided not to activate it.
During a conference call on Friday, Appel did not mention that they had an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicator Radio Beacon) in their possession. The emergency beacon would have made things easier as it alerts emergency services of the location.
The two women said they started the trip back in May and were planning to go to Tahiti. They mentioned that the ordeal began when they were hit by a storm. But the storm they mention is not in the records. Archived NASA satellite images reportedly confirmed that there was no tropical storms in the area.
Their story on the storm and tiger shark attack has raised questions. Appel said the tiger sharks would try to make waves to try to knock down the boat. But George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida, says that’s something never seen before. He added that tiger sharks are solitary animals and that this type of behavior has never been documented in a shark of any species. Burgess admitted that he was skeptical of their story right away since the women and their dogs looked healthier than people who have been lost at sea for months.
The US Coast Guard also told the Associated Press that they had contacted a vessel identifying itself as the Sea Nymph in June. The contact happened when they were near Tahiti. A Coast Guard spokesperson said the captain told them they were not in distress.
The women said they had been lost at sea for five months. They were planning to reach Tahiti in three weeks but things went bad when their engine and mast were damaged. Appel and Fuiava are currently in Japan, where the USS Ashland took them nearly a week after their rescue.

||~7 yrs; Ex-Tennessee Whisky Barrel|
||100% Canadian Malted Barley|
|Distiller||Shelter Point (Vancouver Island, British Columbia)|
This whisky, distilled in 2011, is a cask-strength exclusive for the Strath whisky store in Victoria. It is a single cask….and it is rather excellent. 120 bottles produced.
Batch: “Classic” for the Strath, distilled 2011
Bottling Code: N/A
Bottling Date: 2018
Interesting – spicy, grainy, with nice dried fruit integrated throughout. This is so rich, one of the richer Shelter Points I’ve tried – and one of the better ones. It’s quite refined, bordering on elegance - and big. The dried fruit just blossoms in the glass as it sits, but with other fruits coming forward too – apple juice, strawberry and black currant too. The palate is loaded with spice, fruit, and brown sugar.
Highly Recommended (48% of all whiskies I’ve reviewed to date get this recommendation or higher). Just terrific stuff…perhaps my second favourite Shelter Point to date (after the Strath’s other whisky, Avant-Garde Barley).
Value: Average. Very nice whisky, but still at a price ($110).

Paris Banned Cars For The Day And It Looked Stunning
- Written by Smaragda Chrysoulaki
- Hits: 276
Paris has pulled off its most ambitious 'car-free day' yet, with 105 square kilometres of the French capital set aside for pedestrians and cyclists.
In its third year, the ban on all private cars and motorised bikes took place between 11am and 6pm on Sunday in a fight against air pollution in the city.
The only exceptions were for taxis, public transport and emergency vehicles -- and if police caught Parisians driving, they faced fines of up to $200
Mayor Anne Hildalgo -- who established the annual event -- has been a strong advocate for reducing pollution in Paris, increasing the number of bus and bike lanes in the city and encouraging Parisians to utilise cleaner transport options.
The results of the car ban were absolutely stunning:
A cyclist rides past Notre Dame Cathedral.
The creator of the event, Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
A cyclist rides past the 'Conciergerie', a former prison and royal palace.
More than 1000 police and council workers were on-site at key roads to ensure the smooth running of the day.

- Bihar police hint at terror plot to target railways
NEW DELHI: The Bihar police today hinted that recent railway accidents, including the Indore-Patna Express derailment near Kanpur which claimed over 150 lives, may have been part of a larger terror plot. The report emerged after the arrest of three persons suspected of planting an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on a railway track near Ghorasahan railway station in October last year. During interrogation, police claimed the trio had confessed to having worked for a Nepalese contact suspected to be connected to Pakistan's ISI. "The accused were given Rs 3 lakh to blow the railway track at Ghorasahan. A probe is currently underway to find their links with the Kanpur train accident," SP Jitendra Rana told ANI. While the three accused were arrested from East Champaran district, three others have been nabbed at Tailaya in Nepal for targeting railways on behalf of suspected terror elements in this country, Rana added. Security agencies have been informed about the confession made by the three men, who are "professional criminals" allegedly involved in more than a dozen criminal cases. They're being further interrogated for more details to determine if the they had any role in train accidents in Kanpur and elsewhere. At least 150 people were killed and over 100 injured when 14 coaches of the Indore-Patna Express derailed near Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat district in November 2016. Initial reports suggested rail fracture due to expansion of the track in summer and contraction in winter as the likely cause of the mishap.

- Patna boat tragedy: Bihar CM admits administrative lapses, assures action against responsible officers
PATNA: Admitting a series of administrative lapses behind the recent boat tragedy that claimed 24 lives in the state capital here, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Monday said the state government had already constituted a two-member inquiry committee into the mishap and it would take “appropriate action” against the officials found responsible for the lapses. “The inquiry committee headed by disaster management’s principal secretary Pratyay Amrit will delve into all aspects of the boat mishap. It will probe with objectivity and fix responsibility. All aspects are being looked into,” Nitish told reporters after his weekly ‘Lok-Samvad’ programme here. He said the tourism department had invited people at the ‘kite festival’ by inserting advertisement in the newspapers. Large number of people gathered there in the Sabalpur diara on the invitation of department. “Yesterday, I had called officers at my residence and asked them as what arrangements they had made to transport people from the state capital to diara area and their return journey. How many security personnel were deployed there? There is already a guideline that boats would not ply after the sunset, but video clippings of the mishap indicates that the ill-fated boat was plying after the sunset. How it happened? The probe committee will find out who is responsible for this lapse,” CM said and reiterated the “responsible officers would not be spared irrespective of their affiliations and positions.” To a question, CM said he had no proper knowledge in advance about the kite festival. “Had I been aware of the festival, I would have necessarily asked three-four questions about the preparations from the officers. I am habitual of asking questions about arrangements before any big event,” he said. He said the government has now decided that no big event of any department would be allowed in future without clearance from the chief secretary. Nitish also expressed surprise over use of his photograph in the advertisement of kite festival and said he had asked the chief minister’s office (CMO) to find out whether necessary permission was taken for use of his photograph in the said advertisement. He said as per the convention, the CM’s picture could not be used in any advertisement without prior permission from the CMO. Vidsibly saddened over the opposition BJP’s allegation that CM didn't take enough interest in the kite festival like he did in the ‘Prakashotsava’ and 'Kalchakra Puja' because the kite festival wouldn't bring him praise from across the country, Nitish tried to scoff the allegation saying, “I handled arrangement for 'Prakashotsava’ and the Kachakra’ mainly because they were bigger events.

It isn't just the recruitment of specialised faculty that's proving to be difficult. Pharmacy colleges in the state are also befuddled by the conflicting rules put forward by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). AICTE says colleges need to have a faculty-student ratio of 1: 10. But PCI, which regulates the profession and practice of pharmacy , puts the figure at a more stringent 1:6.

US Vice President Mike Pence has made an impassioned speech, declaring violent protesters who stormed the Capitol “did not win”, while reopening the Senate.
Pence, who is chairing a special Congressional session to certify the electoral college vote, condemned those who rioted at Capitol Hill and acknowledged security staff, police and the death of a pro-Trump protester, who was shot during the ugly scenes.
HEAR HIS SPEECH IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE
“We condemn the violence that took place here in the strongest possible terms,” he said.
“We grieve the loss of life in these hallowed halls as well as the injuries suffered by those who defended our Capitol today. And we will always be grateful to the men and women who stayed at their posts to defend this historic place.”
But he stopped short of laying blame on President Donald Trump for the unexpected violence, declining to mention him at all in his address, instead insisting that the session to certify US President-elect Joe Biden must go ahead.
“To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins, freedom wins and this is still the people’s house.
“And as we reconvene in this chamber, the would will again witness the resilience and strength of our democracy.
“Because even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this Capitol the elected representatives of the people of the United States have assembled again on the very same day to support and defend the constitution of the United States.”
As the violence unfolded, the Vice President called for the protests to end and for those involved to be prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law”.
“The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now. Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building,” he wrote on Twitter.

Because obesity poses a big threat for your pet’s health, you need to monitor and regulate his weight. In this article, Jordan Walker, pet blog enthusiast and content curator of Coops and Cages, shares his knowledge and insights on weight control for your dog.
Dogs that are clinically obese are more prone to osteoarthritis, multiple cancers, respiratory diseases, Diabetes Type 2, kidney disease, and other diseases that may decrease life expectancy up to 2 ½ years. To keep your pet around much longer, you as a pet owner should do your best to keep your pet healthy by starting with the prevention of obesity.
The first step to preventing obesity is to know the ideal weight range. In line with this, pet owners must know the normal weight for their pet.
To determine the normal weight, the body conditioning score must be identified. This can also be checked by feeling your pet’s spine, shoulders, and hips. You’ll notice that a small amount of fat could be present on those bony prominences, but you should still be able to feel the bone underneath.
In order to confirm whether your pet is fit, his ribs shouldn’t be visible, but should be felt when you touch the area directly above it.
If you want to keep your pet’s weight in the right scale, here’s a useful advice. You need to keep a close watch on his diet and exercise. How?
Basically, there are two key factors that mainly affect your pet’s weight.
Diet. If you’re feeding your pet with commercially prepared dog food, you need to check the label and take note of the calories per serving to avoid preparing too much of it. Choose to give healthy dog treats instead of table scraps, or give low-calorie treats.
Exercise. Aside from keeping the muscles and bones healthy, exercise help burn excess fat from the body. You can take your dog along for a walk, or jog with him. You may as well introduce other forms of exercise such as swimming or hiking once in a while.
Weight gain can also be caused by an underlying disease or conditions such as the presence of parasites, water retention, Cushing’s disease, and hypothyroidism. Regular check-ups with the vet can be helpful for early detection and treatment. Most of these conditions can be managed well with the help of your vet. If you’re worried about the expenses, you also have the option to have pet insurance for treatments.
Preventing obesity and keeping your pet fit could demand a lot of work and time for most pet owners. However, pet owners who are dedicated to taking care of their pet fully understand that seeing their pet fit, healthy and happy can be quite a rewarding experience.

Alley Cat Allies’ Atlantic City ‘Boardwalk Cats Project’ Celebrates 10 Years
Program Saves Cats’ Lives, Stabilizes Population of Feral Cats on Famous Boardwalk
Bethesda (Vocus) June 7, 2010 -- The next time you’re in Atlantic City, take a break from the casinos and
shopping and have a look at the permanent residents living quietly under the busy planks of the city’s Boardwalk
-- a colony of famous feral cats.
In 2000, Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for stray and feral cats, launched a city-endorsed
Trap-Neuter-Return program and has continued caring for the cats over the last ten years with the help of
volunteers and services from the Humane Society of Atlantic County. These feral cats -- like all feral cats -- are
not socialized to people and are not adapted to living indoors. Instead, the cats live healthy, natural lives in their
“With Trap-Neuter-Return, the cats are humanely trapped then neutered and vaccinated by a veterinarian, which
improves their lives by eliminating the stresses of mating and pregnancy,'' said Becky Robinson, president of
Alley Cat Allies. ''It also prevents future litters of kittens -- which stabilizes the colony size.”
Under standard Trap-Neuter-Return protocol, the cats have the tip of their left ear removed while still under
anesthesia from surgery. This ‘eartip’ identifies the cat as having been neutered and vaccinated.
After surgery, the feral cats are returned to the boardwalk where they are closely monitored. The Boardwalk Cats
are given fresh food and water regularly and have comfortable shelters for the colder months. Alley Cat Allies
hosts regular clean-up days to remove litter and debris in order to keep the habitats clean.
The Boardwalk Cats Project serves as a model for similar programs across the country.

Are you all wondering what happened to Rashmi? Why is she keeping us away from all the scrumptious goodness in her life. Surely, even if the posts have gotten infrequent, the eating can’t have, can it?
And you are absolutely right, it can’t. And it hasn’t. I’m one of those crazy people who can not give up good food. Indeed, a good part of my day is spent on food related activities – when I’m not eating or cooking, I’m reading, talking or even simply dreaming about food. I spend hours and hours drooling over food photographs. Watching Food Network is even more engrossing. Tanmoy says it is more entertaining to watch me watching cookery shows than the shows themselves, because I look like a greedy pig feasting (alas only visually) on a variety of foods far beyond its little piggy imagination and sometimes there’s even a maniacal glint in my eye. The situation, in short, is getting quite out of hand.
All this, unfortunately, doesn’t always translate into a post because you know, sometimes life happens and also I, well, ahem… am er… well, lazy. But let me assure you, I am still alive and kicking. I mean cooking. And weekend brunch is still my favourite meal of the week. And I am still fascinated by meals that can be baked. So to remove all traces of doubt from your minds about my continued dedication to all things delicious, I present to you this awesome Broccoli and Potato Custard – a thoroughly satisfying savoury custard filled with the goodness of vegetables and eggs. One dish gives you your iron, calcium, vitamins and fibers through the veggies and proteins though the eggs and also your carbs from the potatoes. The sprinkling of cheese is optional, or you can choose a low fat cheese too, but really, what’s life without some cheese? And don’t let the term ‘custard’ mislead you – this dish isn’t sweet.
Prep time: 15 mins
Baking time: 25-30 mins
WHAT YOU NEED:
8 Baby Potatoes
5-6 Spring Onions, thinly sliced
7-8 Broccoli Florets
1 cup Milk
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
1 tbsp Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
WHAT YOU DO:
- Preheat oven to 375° C.
- Fill a medium sized pot with water and boil the baby potatoes for 15 mins. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Boil the broccoli florets for 5 mins. Drain and rinse.
- Grease a medium sized baking pan with the butter. Mix the chopped spring onions, broccoli and baby potatoes in it.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper until completely blended and pour over the veggie mixture in the pan. Give a gentle whack or two to the pan to ensure the liquid goes to the bottom.
- Top it with the shredded cheese (more or less, to suit your requirement). Sprinkle with dried herbs like basil or oregano if you prefer, or even red chilly flakes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the custard sets and the cheese has all melted.
- Serve hot with tomato salsa.
I prefer the texture and taste of dijon mustard, but any mustard sauce can be used.
The custard sets quicker if less milk is used, but the texture is different – more ‘omeletty’ than ‘custardy’, but if time is at a premium, heck, why not?

Queen Elizabeth II will miss the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow (Tuesday), while future king Prince Charles will stand in for his mother with Prince William.
The 96-year-old has reluctantly made the decision not to attend for only the third time in her 70-year reign.
The Queen's eldest son Prince Charles will stand in following discussions between the Queen and her aides. He will be supported by his wife Camilla and son Prince William, according to reports.
Last year, the Queen escorted by her son Prince Charles during the State Opening of Parliament at the House of Lords last year.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace was reported to have said: 'The Queen continues to experience episodic mobility problems, and in consultation with her doctors has reluctantly decided that she will not attend the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow.
'At Her Majesty’s request, and with the agreement of the relevant authorities, The Prince of Wales will read The Queen’s speech on Her Majesty’s behalf, with The Duke of Cambridge also in attendance,' according to the spokesperson.

A month ago, Bethesda announced that it was abandoning plans to add mod support to the PS4 versions of Fallout 4 and the upcoming remastered version of Skyrim. Today, however, the developer says that both games will be getting support for mods on Sony’s console.
Previously, Bethesda said that “Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work,” hence the cancellation. The developer appears to have been able to work out those issues with Sony over the following weeks. “Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our ‘creation kit,’” Bethesda says. “You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game.”
Mod support will be available as part of the PS4 version of Skyrim remastered when the game launches on October 28th. The game will also have additional support for the newly announced PlayStation 4 Pro so that it can render in native 4K on the new hardware, according to Bethesda. (The PS4 Pro launches on November 10th.) Fallout 4, meanwhile, will receive both PS4 Pro and mod support at a later, unannounced date.
“We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long,” says Bethesda. “Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.”

Higher education professionals have relied on a growing body of student development literature to inform their practice. However, there is an underrepresentation within scholarly research that incorporates the voices of students that have historically been outside of the focus on scholarly research, namely gay Asian American male college students. Moreover, much of the literature tends to separate and not take into account the complex and intersecting identities of students, especially sexual identity. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how gay Asian American male college students at Southern California higher education institutions understand their sexual identity through the lens of complex, intersectional identity development. From interviews with participants, multiple and often contentious influences, such as family, society, college and social media, have shaped the gay Asian American male college student experience in understanding their sexual identity. With this study, the cycle of invisibility, misconceptions and ignorance towards this student population will hopefully diminish. Implications and recommendations for educational policy, practice and future research are provided.

A newcomer and a veteran in San Luis Obispo County’s craft beer industry earned honors at a prominent nationwide competition last weekend.
Tap It Brewing, founded in 2010 by father-son team John and Miles Gordon, won gold at the Great American Beer Festival for its American-style India pale ale in a category that had 203 entries, by far the most of any category.
“This win is not just for us but for the Central Coast,” Miles Gordon said Monday. “We are proud we were able to contribute to turning this region into a microbrew capital.”
It’s the first time the San Luis Obispo brewery has won a medal in a national contest.
Brewmaster Ryan Aikens and Gordon described Tap It’s IPA as having “a malt backbone with hops that fit,” which they said was the key to their brew’s success at the festival. Most breweries emphasize the hops, “but we went the opposite direction,” Gordon said.
Tap It distributes to locations in California and Arizona and makes three styles of pale ale.
Firestone Walker Brewing Co., which has been brewing in Paso Robles since 2001, took several honors, including gold for its flagship Double Barrel Ale. It won in the ordinary or special bitter category for a second year.
“Back-to-back gold medals speak volumes in arguably the most competitive beer judging in the world,” Firestone co-proprietor David Walker said in a news release.
A new brew, Wookey Jack, earned top honors in its category of American-style black ale. Also, Firestone’s Double Jack, an imperial India pale ale, took bronze in its class.
“It was nice to see our newest year-round release and our original flagship ale both named as the top beers in their categories,” co-proprietor Adam Firestone said.
Three times previously at the festival, Firestone had been honored with the Mid-sized Brewery of the Year award.
Neither Tap It nor Firestone would disclose production numbers.
Hosted by the Brewers Association, the annual Great American Beer Festival is the nation’s largest domestic beer festival. This year’s event, held Oct. 11 through 13 in Denver, included 666 breweries from 48 states. More than 4,000 beers were judged, and awards were given in 84 categories.


Funnels are efficient tools for channelling liquids into containers with narrow openings. Now, researchers in Exeter have demonstrated the first funnel for electrical charges on a chip. The discovery builds on the ability to oxidize the atomically thin semiconductor, hafnium disulphide (HfS2), with a high-intensity UV laser. The non-uniform strain between oxidized and non-oxidized regions, and the subsequent band-gap modulation, generates electric fields, which effectively funnel the charges in the semiconductor flakes to areas where they can be more easily collected. This concept could enable a new generation of solar cells with 60% efficiency (currently around 21%), thanks to the increased efficiency in collecting photo-excited charges and the potential for hot-carrier extraction.
Intense laser light means oxidation, oxidation means strain
In general, bulk semiconductors can only sustain strains up to 0.4% before breaking. However, a layer of semiconductor that is only a few atoms thick can support strains of up to 25%. This amount of strain changes the band gap in the energy dispersion by up to 1 eV.
In this work, Saverio Russo and his group at the University of Exeter, induce the strain in the HfS2 using a 375 nm laser to remove sulphur atoms, which are then replaced by oxygen atoms. According to calculations performed using density functional theory, the hafnium atoms have different separations in HfS2 and HfO2. This produces a 2.7% strain at the boundary between the oxidized and non-oxidized regions. Electrical contacts anchor the material to a substrate, so a strain gradient is present across the whole flake, shifting asymmetrically the conduction and valence bands to higher energies, and opening the band gap by 30 meV.
Collecting the funnelled charges
Another key to making a useful charge funnel is ensuring that the charges will move towards an area where they are more easily extracted. In most direct semiconductors (such as GaAs), the funnelling effect pushes charges towards the strained region. By using HfS2, which is an indirect semiconductor, the charges were pushed away from the strained region, towards the electrodes at the edge of the flake, as observed in inverse charge funnelling.
To test the inverse charge funnelling, a field effect transistor was made using a flake of patterned HfS2/HfO2. The researchers used a laser to excite charges in the flake and scanning photocurrent microscopy to measure the current from these charges. Comparing the same device before and after a small area was oxidized, they measured a 350% increase in response in a region near the interface between HfS2 and HfO2. Their theoretical calculations of the system supported the results, and also revealed that the charge carriers had an increased lifetime of around four orders of magnitude – another indicator of the charge funnelling effect.
Looking to the future
So how can this new phenomenon be implemented in future technologies, and what benefits will this lead to? Lead author, Adolfo De Sanctis, had this to say: “The electrical measurement of the charge funnelling effect could be revolutionary for photovoltaic devices. Two-dimensional semiconductors are truly unique when it comes to strain, and they offer the best platform for future ‘straintronic’ devices. The next steps will be to implement this technique on a larger scale, optimize the strain gradients, and study other materials in order to demonstrate the feasibility for photovoltaic solar energy conversion.”

Lawsuit uses 10th amendment to challenge federal overreaching and commandeering of state law
By Kris Hermes | Americans for Safe Access
Americans for Safe Access (ASA), the country’s largest medical marijuana advocacy organization, filed suit in federal court today challenging the Obama Administration’s attempt to subvert local and state medical marijuana laws in California.
ASA argues in its lawsuit that the Obama Justice Department (DOJ) has “instituted a policy to dismantle the medical marijuana laws of the State of California and to coerce its municipalities to pass bans on medical marijuana dispensaries.”
The DOJ policy has involved aggressive SWAT-style raids, criminal prosecutions of medical marijuana patients and providers and threats to local officials for merely implementing state law.
“Although the Obama Administration is entitled to enforce federal marijuana laws, the Tenth Amendment forbids it from using coercive tactics to commandeer the law-making functions of the State,” said ASA Chief Counsel Joe Elford, who filed the lawsuit today in San Francisco’s federal District Court.
“This case is aimed at restoring California’s sovereign and constitutional right to establish its own public health laws based on this country’s federalist principles.”
The ASA lawsuit, which seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, was filed on behalf of its 20,000 members in California who are directly and adversely affected by the DOJ actions.
On October 7th, California’s four U.S. Attorneys announced in a highly unusual joint press conference that the DOJ would be engaging in a multi-pronged attack on the State’s medical marijuana laws involving enforcement action against State-compliant producers and distributors as well as threatening their landlords with criminal prosecution and civil asset forfeiture.
“The elimination of dispensaries that operate legally and openly will endanger patients and the public.” ~ Josh McCowen, Mendocino County Supervisor
In addition, the same U.S. Attorneys have been sending threatening letters to several municipalities across the state in an attempt to undermine the passage of local medical marijuana regulations.
- On July 1st, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California sent a letter to Chico Mayor Ann Schwab stating that the city’s proposed ordinance regulating medical marijuana dispensaries would violate federal law. U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner also warned Chico’s City Attorney, City Manager, and Police Chief that council members and staff could face federal prosecution for its attempts to implement such a law. As a result, the Chico City Council voted on August 2nd to rescind its medical marijuana dispensary ordinance.
- On August 15th, the Eureka City Council received a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California threatening that its regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries violates federal law. Similar to the letter sent to Chico, the Eureka letter stated that the city’s publicly vetted licensing scheme “threatens the federal government’s efforts to regulate, the possession, manufacturing, and trafficking of controlled substances.” The letter added that, “If the City of Eureka were to proceed, this office would consider injunctive actions, civil fines, criminal prosecution, and the forfeiture of any property used to facilitate a violation of [federal law].” Because of these threats, the City of Eureka has suspended implementation of its local ordinance.
The federal actions announced on October 7th by U.S. Attorneys have also derailed the regulatory efforts of local governments in Arcata, El Centro, Sacramento and other municipalities across the state.
Less than a week after the DOJ press conference, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) conducted an early morning raid on October 13th at Northstone Organics, a fully-licensed cultivation collective in Mendocino County.
The DEA handcuffed the collective’s founder and his wife and cut down all 99 plants, which were each zip-tied and registered with the Sheriff’s Department. Mendocino has one of the most tightly controlled cultivation ordinances in the state.
Several local and state officials have publicly blasted the Obama Administration’s tactics.
In a recent statement, Mendocino County Supervisor Josh McCowen called the DEA raid on Northstone “outrageous,” and said “The elimination of dispensaries that operate legally and openly will endanger patients and the public.”
Last week, the co-author of California’s Medical Marijuana Program Act, State Senator Mark Leno “urge[d] the federal government to stand down in it massive attack on medical marijuana dispensaries.”
On October 21st, State Attorney General Kamala Harris issued a statement renouncing the federal government’s tactics, claiming that “an overly broad federal enforcement campaign will make it more difficult for legitimate patients to access physician-recommended medicine,” and urging “federal authorities in the state to adhere to the [DOJ’s] stated policy” of allowing California to implement its medical marijuana laws without federal interference.
Although the lawsuit accuses the Obama Administration of commandeering California’s legislative function and interfering with local laws meant to distinguish between medical and non-medical use, it does not challenge the federal government’s authority to adopt and enforce federal marijuana laws.
The lawsuit states that, “It is, rather, the…misuse of the government’s Commerce Clause powers, designed to deprive the State of its sovereign ability to chart a separate course, that forms the basis of plaintiff’s claims.”

Flu-like symptoms can be indicative of infection with the novel coronavirus these days. You might have COVID-19 if you are experiencing a fever and cough followed by trouble breathing and you might require care. But not all patients exhibit these symptoms.
Almost all COVID-19 patients who needed ventilators in New York's largest health system to help them breathe died, a study found.
They typically occur with patients, although strokes are typical health issues with certain diseases.
The experts say Covid-19 seems to be the cause for sudden strokes in adults in their 30s and 40s, who are otherwise healthy. Those patients were unwilling to call 911 because they heard hospitals were overcrowded with coronavirus cases, doctors told CNN.
"The fact that in this small, preliminary study that it appears the virus that causes Covid-19 doesn't show up in the testes or semen could be an important finding".
Ruth's Chris Joins Firms Returning Small-Business Loans
Yesterday, the SBA closed the loophole and warned publicly traded companies they probably won't qualify for the new funds. Quantum's $10 million PPP loan is saving American jobs at Quantum, a company spokesperson told CRN via email.
For weeks, doctors have been seeing mysterious blood clots in some COVID-19 patients. "It includes one of the largest arteries in the brain", Dr. Oxley said. One hypothesis is that obesity causes chronic, low-grade inflammation that can lead to an increase in circulating, pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may play a role in the worst Covid-19 outcomes.
One doctor called the link between coronavirus and stroke "one of the clearest and most profound correlations I've come across".
"The virus appears to be causing increased clotting in the large arteries, leading to a serious stroke", said Mount Sinai Health System neurosurgeon Thomas Oxley.
One medical report out of Wuhan, China, showed that some hospitalized patients had experienced strokes, but many of those cases were seriously ill and elderly patients.
"It wasn't until January 31 that the virus was confirmed to be in the United Kingdom after two people tested positive in York".
"For comparison, our service, over the previous 12 months, has treated on average 0.73 patients every two weeks under the age of 50 years with large vessel stroke", the paper said.
The easiest way to remember the symptoms of a stroke and what to look for is the "FAST" method. Blocking a large artery in the brain will require a procedure called clot retrieval (see video at the end of this post), which must be done within 6 to 24 hours after the event. As the American Stroke Association explains, F is for face drooping, A is for arm weakness, S is for Speech Difficulty and T is Time to Call 911.

Two of Pixar Animations Studios original employees have been awarded the Turing Prize, the biggest honour in the computing industry.
Pat Hanrahan and Ed Catmull have been honoured for their work on the computer graphics technology that was key to creating the first Toy Story film. The Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing,” carries a $1 million prize.
“Ed Catmull and Pat Hanrahan have fundamentally influenced the field of computer graphics through conceptual innovation and contributions to both software and hardware,” said the Association for Computing Machinery, which presents the award.
“Their work has had a revolutionary impact on filmmaking, leading to a new genre of entirely computer-animated feature films beginning 25 years ago with Toy Story and continuing to the present day.”
“CGI has transformed the way films are made and experienced, while also profoundly impacting the broader entertainment industry,” added ACM president Cherri M. Pancake. “We are especially excited to recognise Pat Hanrahan and Ed Catmull, because computer graphics is one of the largest and most dynamic communities within ACM.
“At the same time, Catmull and Hanrahan’s contributions demonstrate that advances in one specialisation of computing can have a significant influence on other areas of the field. For example, Hanrahan’s work with shading languages for GPUs, has led to their use as general-purpose computing engines for a wide range of areas.”
