UPDATED 5/12/20, 8:54 p.m. ET: The man who wore a KKK-style hood as a coronavirus mask will not face criminal charges, authorities announced Monday.
"The man expressed frustration with the coronavirus and having people tell him what he can and cannot do," the San Diego County Sheriff's Department told NBC News. "He said that wearing the hood was not intended to be a racial statement. In summary, he said, 'It was a mask and it was stupid.'"
After investigating the incident, the sheriff's office determined there was insufficient evidence to criminally charge the man, as he had the right to free speech. However, the office cautioned the public from saying or displaying hateful messages/symbols or risk social repercussions.
"This incident should serve as a reminder for anyone contemplating wearing or displaying items so closely associated with hate and human suffering that our society does not hold in high regard those who do so," the statement continued. "Santee is a city of families, and the community is rightfully disgusted at this man's despicable behavior. The Sheriff's Department thoroughly investigates incidents such as these and will hold those who violate the law accountable."
See the original story below.
As more states are requiring residents to wear face masks when leaving the house, one California man took it too far. On Saturday, photos emerged online of the man in question wearing a makeshift KKK hood while shopping at a Vons grocery store in Santee.
“Detectives from the Sheriff’s Department are looking into the matter and will pursue any appropriate criminal charges,” a press release from Santee Mayor John Minto said, per the Times of San Diego. “The Sheriff’s Department does not condone hate or any acts of intolerance in our communities. We are a county that is welcoming of people from all backgrounds.”
Minto deemed the man’s attire to be a “symbol of hatred.”
“The citizens and Vons employees took steps to address the situation,” he said. “Many thanks to all who stepped forward to curtail this sad reminder of intolerance. Santee, its leaders, and I will not tolerate such behavior. Santee and its citizens are great, and this particular individual’s actions are not representative of us as a people and a wonderful city.”
Tweets said that grocery store security did nothing more than ask the man to take off the hood, which he allegedly wore to adhere to face mask requirements in San Diego County.
A woman who photographed the incident, who was only identified as Melissa S., told the publication that she was in "disbelief " with that she had seen. “He was behind me in line. Standing quietly. A man in a wheelchair [went] past and saluted him and he laughed. I took the photo because I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. I’ve grown up in Santee and have never seen such racism right before my eyes," she explained.
Vons also released a statement on Sunday:
At Vons, fostering an environment of courtesy, dignity and respect is one of our highest priorities, and we work hard to hold everyone in our stores to these standards, including customers.
Unfortunately, an alarming and isolated incident occurred at our Vons store in Santee, where a customer chose an inflammatory method of wearing a face covering. Needless to say, it was shocking.
Several members of our team asked the customer to remove it, and all requests were ignored until the customer was in the checkout area. This was a disturbing incident for our associates and customers, and we are reviewing with our team how to best handle such inappropriate situations in the future.

Blossoming blooms: Longtime gardener Dave Niswonger is known for his hybrid creations
Dave Niswonger caught a case of the green thumb when he was not much bigger than a bean sprout. By the time he was 6, he was growing his own tomatoes.
Some 80 years and thousands of flowers later, the Cape Girardeau gardener is still growing plants, a hybridizing master of scores of blooms of his own creation.
Niswonger's grandmother instilled in him a love of tending the earth, but it was his childhood, perhaps, that made gardens so vital to his life.
"My dad was a Methodist preacher. We moved around a lot, and we never had a chance to really set down roots," said Niswonger, 85. "So the only place I could ever relate to was Grandpa's farm."
Along the way, Niswonger's fascination with gardening turned to something bigger – learning how to create new varieties of the plants and trees he tended. It's thrilling, he says, to develop new colors of blooms and to realize that you're the only one in the world who has one exactly like it.
Niswonger introduced his first iris, Sapphire Fuzz, in 1967. Since then, he's introduced more than 250 varieties of irises, 39 daylilies, 20 daffodils, seven gladiolas, three dahlias and three nut trees.
Many of the names Niswonger gives his creations offer a glimpse into his life. Patton Snowfall and Tracking Rabbits speak to the winters he spent on his grandfather's Patton, Mo., farm. He named one iris Raspberry Ripples after a flavor of ice cream from his younger years.
He's gained international recognition and awards for his creations, and his irises are growing all over the world. Russia. Germany. France. Australia. Latvia. England.
Niswonger does the majority of his plant breeding on a few acres in Gordonville.
He's had varying success passing down his love of gardening. (His late wife, Marie, refused to pull weeds.) He laughs as he recalls a spring day when his three children were working barefoot in ankle-deep mud, planting seeds for his latest batch. His exasperated daughter turned and said, "Mama, why did you marry Daddy?"
During Niswonger's years as a hospital administrator, gardening was his stress reliever. But he retired 20 years ago, and he's still creating new irises.
"We keep improving all of these different flowers every year. It's endless, almost, the colors that can be created," he said. "I still have that same excitement. It's always a thrill to see the new varieties come out of the ground."

Hacktivist group Anonymous threatens to target all government facilities across the globe on November 5 2013, calling activists to mark the day with protests in support of the Occupy movement.
“Now it’s time to occupy everywhere” says the video named “Anonymous #NOV5TH 2013 – the lion sleeps no more” posted on Youtube. It calls for “a day of global civil disobedience” to mark Guy Fawkes Day in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The video urges to ‘relight the flame of protest’ and claims that unions from around the world are supporting actions of Anonymous and the Occupy movement, adding ‘austerity means war.’
November 5 commemorates Guy Fawkes’ failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London.
Last year’s protest on November 5 launched by Anonymous gathered hundreds of supporters in London’s Trafalgar Square, according to RT’s London Bureau, for Operation Vendetta – a march to the Houses of Parliament.
People were carrying banners that read “We are Anonymous. We are the legion” and “Stop creating imaginary debt!”
A rash of cyber-attacks were reported the same day on Australian government sites and Argentina’s government bank. Anonymous also claimed to have stolen some 28,000 passwords and other confidential information from US based company Paypal, however the company disputed the hack. Another cyber-attack was reportedly launched against the website of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to draw attention “to election manipulation in the Ukraine.”
Hackers also reportedly targeted US company Trapwire and European analogue INDECT, which develop software that can access closed-circuit cameras to monitor citizens’ movements. On November 6 an Anonymous affiliated group identified as “pyknic” hacked several sites for the US TV network NBC , however the sites were quickly restored.
Anonymous hactivists have long supported the Occupy movement and used web technologies and social media, like Facebook and Twitter, to accelerate the rhythm of protests. The social network users apply hashtags such as #OccupyWallSt, #OWS or #Occupy which help to coordinate the demonstrations.
The Anonymous supporters, and Occupy Wall Street protesters wear stylized Guy Fawkes masks – featured prominently in ‘V for Vendetta’ comic series and film – which were adopted as a universal symbol against tyranny. The masks have also been used during the mass protests in the Arab countries, and have been banned by some states, such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
The Occupy movement began two years ago as a campaign against large corporations and the global financial system that control the world in a way that disproportionately benefits the minority and undermines democracy. The Occupy slogan ‘we are the 99%’ refers to the concentration of wealth among the 1% of income earners compared to the majority.
The first Occupy protest was the Occupy Wall Street in New York City’s Zuccotti Park, which began on 17 September 2011, similar actions have taken place all over the world.

Merger in aviation industry will compromise safety--Unions
Unions in the aviation industry say the planned merger of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET) and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority(NCAA) will compromise safety in the sector.
Rising from an emergency meeting in Lagos yesterday, all three unions - the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) and Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSAN) said the decision would compromise safety and make foreign airlines avoid Nigeria’s airspace.
At a joint press conference, Mohammed Safiyanu, the National President of NUATE said:”This merger will clearly compromise safety of the Nigerian Aviation Industry. For instance, if NAMA violates safety procedure, who will reprimand NAMA after it is merged with NCAA? Same with NIMET. Who oversees NIMET when it is merged with NCAA? The global practice is that you have a standalone regulator of the industry. This decision is retrogressive and will take us 15 years backward”.
He also noted that the critical stakeholders in the aviation sector were not consulted before the decision was taken.
Also, Comrade Benjamin Okewu, the president of ATSSAN, noted that the decision would make the Nigerian aviation industry a pariah one. He said NiMET provides just about 10 percent of its services to aviation. Ocheme Aba, Secretary General NAAPE, said the decision is a mistake and should be corrected. “We won’t fight government but we will engage government constructively to make them see reasons. We will also engage the National Assembly and make them see reasons why they shouldn’t approve the merger”, he said.


Later this year, Honda will join a growing number of automakers jumping into the fastest growing segment of the U.S. auto market.
Compact crossovers are blowing up like Rob Ford’s cell phone and most manufacturers are clamoring for a piece of the action. Jeep is launching the Renegade, Chevrolet has the Trax and Nissan has been Juking the market for years just to name a few. Small utiltiy vehicles like those are aimed directly at urban buyers who want an SUV but understand that parking a Suburban in the city is just plain silly. So it comes as no surprise that Honda chose the New York Auto Show to share the first pictures and details of its Fit-based HR-V.
Slated to arrive this winter around the same time as the Chevrolet Trax, the HR-V could shape up to be one of the most practical options in the segment. The Fit on which this vehicle is based boasts up to 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s not so much bigger than its Chevrolet contender, but the HR-V will have a least one key advantage: the same “magic seats” as the Fit. That means they will be able to flip forward or fold totally flat.
The HR-V will join the Fit at Honda’s Celaya, Mexico assembly plant and the company says basing its production there will guarantee the flexibility to meet demand for both vehicles.
Honda didn’t specify what the HR-V powertrain will consist of, but the 2015 Fit uses a direct-injected 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 130 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque. That engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or a continuously-variable transmission. It shouldn’t come as a surprise if the HR-V arrives with a mirror image of that equipment.

Contrail processed aviation soot aerosol are poor ice nucleating particles at cirrus temperatures
Abstract. Aviation soot surrogates processed in contrails are believed to become potent ice nuclei at cirrus temperature. This is not verified for real aviation soot, that can have vastly different physico-chemical properties. Here, we sampled soot particles from in-use commercial aircraft engines and quantified the effect of contrail processing on their ice nucleation ability at T < 228 K. We show that aviation soot becomes compacted upon contrail processing but this does not change their ice nucleation ability in contrast to other soot types. The presence of H2SO4 condensed in soot pores, the highly fused nature of the soot primary particles and their arrangement limit the volume of pores generated upon contrail processing, limiting sites for ice nucleation. Furthermore, we hypothesized that contrail processed aviation soot particles emitted from alternative jet fuel would also be poor ice nucleating particles if their emission sizes remain small (< 150 nm).

The Baltic Lextal law firm is representing the cities of Tallinn and Narva in appeals against the Government Office, after it refused to grant approvals for 13 high schools (10 in Talinn and 3 in Narvia) to teach in Russian.
At issue -- according to Lextal -- is whether the Estonian Basic Schools and Upper Secondary Schools Act gives the Government Office the right to interfere with the issue of a municipal school’s study language -- and whether that right is in accordance with the local government’s constitutional right to self-organization.
The Tallinn Circuit Court reversed the administrative court's decision and un-revoked the Government Office’s orders. The Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court accepted the appeal of Tallinn and Narva into process on June 20l 2013 and discussed the matter at a hearing on December 19, 2013. A ruling is expected soon.
Lextal Partner Karl Kask and attorney Margus Reiland represented Talinn and Narva.

Description - The Politics of German Child Welfare from the Empire to the Federal Republic by Edward Ross Dickinson
At a time when the welfare state is variously demonized and idealized, this study provides a look at one of the leaders of its development. Drawing on primary materials from state and private archives, Edward Dickinson traces the story of German child welfare policy over an extended period of conflict and compromise among competing groups - progressive social reformers, conservative Protestants, Catholics, Social Democrats, feminists, medical men, jurists and welfare recipients themselves. The model of the development of child welfare policy presented here illuminates the complexity of the struggles from which modern social policy emerged, and accounts for the ways in which similar policies could be adapted to changing political systems - monarchical, republican, or fascist.
Following a period of policy innovation, rapid institutional expansion, and intensifying ideological conflict before the First World War, Dickinson shows, the period from 1918 to 1961 saw a succession of efforts to reconcile competing policy agendas within different political contexts: the corporatist-democratic compromise worked out in the early years of the Weimar Republic, which broke down in the economic and political crisis at the end of the 1920s; the disastrous Nazi synthesis of authoritarianism and racism; and a revitalized corporatist-democratic framework, stabilized on the basis of the antitotalitarian consensus and of psychotherapeutic theory and practice, after 1949.

System 3 returns to full price publishing
One of the biggest names from the "Britsoft" scene of yesteryear is set to make a return to full price game publishing, with industry veteran Mark Cale relaunching System 3 within the coming months.
The return of the System 3 brand comes following the success of the Play It budget range, which Cale launched on the PlayStation 2 earlier this year, offering a variety of quality software titles at a Â£9.99 price point.
System 3 will be familiar to our, er, older readers as the company behind hits such as International Karate and The Last Ninja trilogy. The company expects to announce its first full price titles shortly.
"The return of System 3 marks our move into full price publishing and forms an integral part of our business plan for the forthcoming months," explained president Mark Cale. "We have been delighted by sales of our value Play It range and see this move as a natural progression to offer gamers the best possible games in each category."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The location is good, very near to the tube station. Rooms are satisfactory according to the price. The staff on the reception was too rude and asked for full payment at arrival, although this was never mentioned earlier. We stayed there on the weekend and the music of the local pub was too annoying and we were not able to sleep
The staff was friendly; I had a parking space; the immediate access to the tube (Central Line) and main roads for a quick get-away; the use of the WLAN; the English Breakfast; the room was clean; the bed was comfortable; the easy access from London-Stansted airport. Overall, I had a really nice stay and would come back anytime. That the bed rolled away when leaning against the wall to watch TV (just a minor thing that can easily be fixed by a stopper).
it was good for the money. i didn't like the tiny bed
Easy access to the tube Car park, could be cleaner, third floor room and no lift, no jaccuzzi
Great value and breakfast included in the rate.No aircon but windows opened OK. No parking available in hotel grounds - forced to park in public car park 500 metres away. Because windows opened for air the traffic noise was quite audible as room face the main road!
Friendly, very clean & comfortable and being able to park was a bonus, extremely good value for money. Breakfast was greasy & cold, and our table was not cleaned from the previous people, we went down for breakfast at 9.30am, there were no other clean tables available.
the room was clean, there was no hassle at reception everythig was in place. the room smelled a bit musty it needed airing especially as they knew guests were coming in.
Very conveniently situated, close to tube trains, buses, shops and restaurants. Greatest boon for me was having a car park. Stayed on a very warm Saturday night, and was unable to keep the windows open because of the noise from the cocktail bar and night club.
The hotel was situated close to the venue we required. The hotel room was tired, dull and not all together clean. The room was booked as a double but we recieved a room with two single beds pushed together with 2 single duvets instead of a double.
Het is een eenvoudig hotel. Onze kamers waren schoon, bedden waren goed. Prijs was in goede verhouding met kamers
Walking distance to London subway (10-15 mionutes), next door to gas and Tesco supermarket, plenty of free gated parking, best price around for a London area hotel. No air conditioning, and city noise is loud when window is open. Rooms are very small, no chairs.
Value for money it is not luxurious but it is clean friendly with excellent breakfast. Water pressure seems vaiable over 2 stays
Nice friendly staff with spacious room. Excellent Halal Breakfast and free wifi+parking was a bonus.Close to Ilford Town centre and shops. Rooms could do woth some renovation.
helpful reception staff
the tranquility and proximity to high street and above to reaching the excel centre in time. saturday and sunday breakfast is servered earlier and the dinning room doors are locked very early in my opinion. I dont think it is necessary to lock the entrance of the dinning room. On wednesday when i was checking out, i went to deposit my case at the dinnig room according to instructions i got from the front desk but to my greatest astonishment i found a male member of staff smoking in the dinning room by the breakfast counter. I think it against policy.
The rooms were comfortable and clean and we had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel could be a little bit tricky to get back to using public transport. It was easy to get into the centre but not as easy to get back.
Too many to mention!! Review has already been left on trip advisor that touches on some of the low points!
With the price you get this hotel room for, everything it offers is a steal deal. The hotel is located in a calm area but not far from the train station or the center of Ilford. It is very clean and the room service is done everyday. Excellent Wifi and that is free!! I will definetly stay here again if I come to Ilford and ofcourse if the room rate remains within the current range. [Note :The hotel may accomodate the guests in different buildings around the main building and you need to go to the main building for the reception or for breakfast which is like taking 20-30 steps from your room!! No big deal though!!] Nothing
Breakfast Far from undeground, too cold in the room, absence of tableware
Smoking allowed in room No bathroom. The toilet was in a closet, and the bathtub in the bedroom. The breakfast was very poor. You could feel the springs through the bed.
Extremely polite attentive and friendly staff.
Polite , easy parking & convenient
It was chosen for convenience, near to our son's student digs, plus right next to a tube station. Premier Inns usually do "what they say on the tin". The rooms are far too hot. No air con and if the windows are opened the traffic noise is very loud.
the staff were very good, helpful and caring. no air conditioning, but a fan was supplied when asked for.
Excellent service and staff. Very attentive and friendly staff whom could not be faulted. Clean, comfortable rooms and suitable for a family of four and was excellent for the tube which was directly opposite the hotel which was a real bonus but it did take one change and about 30 mins to get to any tourist site in London which is just about acceptable I believe. Good value for money Room could be heated but cooling meant leaving a window open but not too noisy. The Inn was a bit out of London if that is where you want to visit but provided you can put up with a tube journey of 30 mins was not really an issue.
Hotel was only 30 mins from liverpool st station. It was good after spending all day in central london to get away to Redbridge. beefeater next door was ideal. We have stayed in over ten different hiltons and i can assure you the breakfast was on a par with them. Our room was immaculate. Bathroom spotless. We paid £260 for 3 nights for 2 adults and 3 children. Really good value. The girl who served us at breakfast was really polite and courteous as were all staff. A really good hotel for a city visit. Check - in not until 2pm which I suppose is understandable but some hotels do start check - ins from 12 noon.
The staff were very polite and courteous Yes I am 64 and there was no lift and i had a very full case and a smaller one and no lift,blessedly enough although the receptionist was a petite girl she did help me up the stairs 3 sets of them.My room was near a very busy road and both sets of sliding windows would not get even close to closing to shut out the noise which was all through the night.So thank goodness I was only booked for 1 night.Besides those 2 negatives the rest was very good.
The reception staff were very professional and friendly. Bed too small in disabled room. My daughter's room on the other hand was very comfortable with a big bed.
The friendliness of the staff both at reception and at breakfast. No
Tube Station adjacent to hotel Not all staff gave the same level of customer service
Pleasant and helpful staff Infestation of bedbugs
Correct staff, although the hotel highly needs some refurbishment the room was clean. Bed was OK. The furniture is a mixture of very old (and damaged) items of different styles.
Location good, parking good, breakfast good We were locked out when we returned at 11:30pm (even though we were told that reception was manned 24 hours) and staff did not respond to the intercomm bell. After quarter of an hour another customer finally let us in (he was also looking for a member of staff) by opening a fire-door - which set off an alarm.
in need of modinisation.
Availability of family room
Good heating. Comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Polite staff. Cleanliness.Good car park. Evidence of gradual refurbishment. Hot water. Light and well carpeted corridors. Poor lighting in the bedroom as two of the three lights - including the bedside light - were broken. No BBC1 on TV. No chair in bedroom.
fantastic breakfast its an old hotell who needs to be painted and other things. they have started but is far from finished.
the breakfast no chairs / seats in room; thin duvets; small sheets, no matress cover; portable TV with internal ariel - poor reception
45 minutes from center, but very good connections, bus and then tube (gants hill) central line. Staff and breakfast are OK, rooms are quiet old but value for money
although bar was closed for referbishment staff were all more than helpful
New small hotel, quiet neighbourhood, good connection to London (train, underground). Our double room was really very small, but equipped well.
Really nice, sparkling clean room with quite luxurious fittings - I was pleasantly surprised at the budget price. Location is pretty convenient given the speed of trains from Liverpool Street to Ilford. Walls were quite thin and was woken up early by conversations at reception, and the staff's children running around. Breakfast was toast and cereal - more than adequate at budget prices but a bit unexciting.
Sort of close to the subway, nice staff. Sheets were not cleaned at all and had dirt/sweat stains all over the sheets, shower was moldy, outlets in walls did not work properly, tv did not work, card reader barely worked, bad area of London, and very thin walls.
The staff was lovely and accommodating when I needed tickets printed or in trying to find a parking space. We didn't get towels on the first night even though we checked in well past midnight and had to leave early the next morning. The room needs a dehumidifier because it has a pungent damp smell upon entry and there is no flow of air in there.
The staff was friendly. That's about it. To keep things simple: -The card reader on the door was broken. -The remote didn't work. -The air conditioner didn't turn on until nearly three hours after it should have. -The room smelled like smoke and dust. -The bathroom smelled like a combination of sewer and mold. -There was mold all over the shower and wooden stand in bathroom. (Ended up not even showering.) -There was a hole in the floor where the pipe led to the sewer, where I'd imagine much of the smell was coming from. Had to keep the bathroom door closed whenever possible and hold my breath when entering. Wouldn't recommend unless you're on a super tight budget and don't mind being a bit uncomfortable.
The level of cleanliness was good wireless internet not working, no bacon on tme breakfast menu
Location to business Shower Head broken
Clean and friendly single room, friendly and helping staff, breakfast
Cheap basic accommodation. A decent cooked breakfast. Free car park. Clean. Bathroom needed some maintenance, but at least it was ensuite in this room. Almost impossible to get a smile from the serving staff at breakfast :-(
Very clean rooms and wondefully helpful and polite staff. Nothing.
Staff are friendly and helpful; however, facilties are really old & poor! Facilities, furniture because they are old and broken, dirt and stinks on the chair.
location, aviailibillity of public transport very old furniture; creaking beds and floor; teared curtains
I didn't enjoy anything from my stay at this hotel. The beds were rock- hard. I took a shower, then I had to take another shower because the first shower made me feel so filthy, then I just licked myself clean. The toilet had to be kickstarted. Breakfast was always full, and when we finally got it, all our food was burnt or even forgotten. Everything in the room was filthy. The wasn't enough room in the breakfast room, the staff/maids refused to speak English, my friends got much better rooms for the same amount of money in the same hotel. They advertised free internet, which was not available. There was noise every night. Honestly; everything was disgusting about this place. We will never, ever, come here again.
Okay low standard of the rooms (furniture, bath-room tends going mouldy...)
Very friendly staff. Nice location. Clean, cheap room. Hall bathroom use was a pain.
It was included which can be rare in the UK. It was more than just a continental breakfast. There were actual cooks who were making meals in request including eggs, sausage, hash browns, and beans. Plenty of different juices and teas.
The staff was friendly, very helpful, and we enjoyed them very much. The rooms were well stocked, and had all the necessities. The location. This felt like we had landed in a very seedy part of London, which wasn't reflected in the online ad. We had to walk about 6 blocks from parking to hotel, and the area felt unsafe at night, with men in the streets urinating. Not a place I will return to. The bed was small and VERY hard. Probably one of the most uncomfortable stays I've ever had at a Best Western.
Staff was very kind, hotel is in good location, breakfast is very basic, overall very good value for money. There were bedbugs in my bed, was bitten quite severely on the whole body. However, staff was helpful and we changed to an other (larger) room.
close to station. staff fine. liked the bathroom. seemed clean at first but after shower realised there were lipstick marks on the neatly folded hand towel and grubby marks on the bath towel - eugh!! Room just about warm enough - heating valve closed and adjuster knobs had been removed. V windy night so windows and door rattling. Whilst a noin smoking hotel, i did feel there was still smoke in the fabric of the furnishings etc. for the money i think it was fine overall - apart from the towels. didnt check the bed!
it was a pleasant stay. the staff was friendly yet professional. breakfast was excellant. would definately reccomend to friends.
Nothing The fact that at 3:30 in the morning, someone was trying to open the room to our door. When myself and my friend went to see what was going on, there was a naked man outside our door. Banging and trying to open our door carried on throughout the night. Staff didn't really seem that bothered about this.
Closee to Train station
The decor, the worn furniture, only 1 towel given for a double room with two people!
the breakfast the beds were uncomfy, the bathroom had several facilities which were broke, there was nightclub located directly outside our window which was playing loud music through the night
Full breakfast and friendly staff
large room, clean shower and toilets, television with dvd a bit far from the tube station
Staff were helpful Limited parking
no！！！ I have a hotel reservation by credit card，They deducted from my bank card had room rate, but also has charged me cash.
Clean and breakfast good. No hot water sometimes at night!
It is a nightmare,the heating is not working, smell keep comming from all over,you cant turn off the ex fans as there is no switch Strange type of smell, not enough heating,unsecure .. fraud hotel.... giving wrong information to customers
The room was clean, all staff were pleasant and the breakfast were great. The male receptionist helped me back my car into security parking at rear A little noisy early in the morning before breakfast. I was on the ground floor and on the main corridor leading to breakfast area.
The helpfulness of the staff the hard eggs at breakfast
The staff were catious and helpful, tidy room and good breakfast. Check out time was advertised as 12noon but on arival was adviced it was 11am. This was inconvinient and had to be harried out by 11.30am. I recommend that the advertised check out time be changed to reflect what is expected.
Free parking, Sheets on one bed dirty, only one pillow per bed supplied, Woken by manager at 0720 hrs to tell me that I hadn't paid when I had paid total bill on arrival, Hotel did not return key deposit at check-out. very noisy staff cleaning rooms and changing beds.
I liked everything at the hotel.
Nothing this is a hotel to avoid Shared bathroom, old and sparse decoration. Room was like an old bedsit. Not en-suite as promised. Staff unwilling to change room. Room really not good enough for paying guests.
Booking, Frendly Reception and staff, clean. Room had damp patches therefore making the room damp. Now personal touches were added to the room very bare and bland. No wall sockect for the side lamp. Wall lamp was to high had to stand on the bed to reach it. Breakfast room to small although lovely as was the service. I'd stay here again, only if I was unable to find somewhere else.
Very clean, puts some higher priced hotels to shame Limited breakfast choice
Very good place, friendly staff and very clean. Close to the Ilford station and central ilford. Also is very easy to get to central london. For £40 this was a bargain. Would recommend to all. Nothing bad to say.
-We felt like HOME,no issues at all. Nothing.
Hospitality, 20 mins to central London, shops, restaurants nearby, DVD-player, warm even if outside is 0 degrees (which was quite usual in November). Traffic might be a bit complicated on wekends - you need more time -(eg. scheduled reconstructon works on the railway when I was there), but it is well organised with buses, the single room is quite small, without a cupboard
There was fresh juice and milk in the fridge. It made a lovely change from having long life milk pots and not having to go to a vending machine for a drink in the middle of the night. No complaints
The warmness of the welcome, the price of the room and the cleanliness. Nothing
Friendly welcome, great price. Everything was provided as expected, with some nice touches. The previous occupant of the room had smoked, against the landlady's wishes (she apologised for this though). The first night was quiet, but on the second night there was a gathering of people in the foyer below my room, which was very noisy (lots of laughing and shouting between 1 and 2pm), which was annoying and kept me awake.
The hotel is run by family,very nice and helpful couple,room was very much clean and got every thing,it was noice free hotel.I Would recommand everyone coz its value for money There was no bad thing I notice in my stay
Room is well equipped, people were friendly.
Welcoming staff clean and tidy
None The Hotel was shabby . The shower for which I paid extra for ensuite did not work and the water was cold. The room was too close to the reception area. The male Night Porter had a female friend? Who talked to for quite a few hours after midnight. The breakfast was not pleasant - a staff member was walking around barefoot and I had to help another Foreign guest as the morning staff did not seem to understand English.
Excellent value for money, wanted a budget hotel, flexible friendly staff, great breakfast chef and with the added bonus it was only a minutes walk to Ilford Station and 15 minutes into the city from there. Spa and jacuzzi was not available to use then again it is an economy stay not a honeymoon destination!
Good location and close to station. Poor customer service. Room £360/8nights, Cash only without receipt! Taxman, hello!!! Very poor room. Poor water pressure in shower. Wash basin in room and not in bathroom and not working properly. No tv remote. Very old tv with only 2 channels working. No daily cleaning service. No in-room coffee/tea service. Old broken metallic blinds over the windows. No curtains. No table for storage. Tiny wardrobe. Dirty old carpets. Aa - 4diamonds How is this possible????? Rac - 3 diamonds How is this possible?????
Nothing. The room was not clean. Bed was not comfortable. There was a nice in the early morning. Room looked very different from the pictures in the internet. Over all I did not like anything there.
Shower did not work well
For the price it was comfortable and clean. Lot of noise in the middle of the night with people talking, door banging and music playing. I was awoken about 3.30am and because of the noise thought about leaving. However it quietened down about an hour later.
The Price is very attractive for the ficilities provide Just the fact that its a bit out of the way from central london.
Free carpark Rundown
Free parking Breakfast
Very good service by staff who were always available to assist. Dinner hall was in very good state and the English breakfast was excellent. Far from city of London - requires use of a car. Ilford rail station is nearby, but need to take a train to get to nearest tube station.
the room was filthy and was never serviced at all in my 3 day stay. The English breakfast used a bacon substitute. I booked a double room but when they realisedv that i was alone i was given a room with a 3/4 size bed and only one seat. It lacks the basics such as glasses in the bathroom or soap. The toilet pot was black and disgusting.
Clean room, helpful staff Too hot in room, as we were on ground floor couldn't leave window open.
Easy to find, staff very pleasant Room maybe a bit too warm, plus road noise problems
Excellent hotel, very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Staff all very helpfl and pleasant. Resurant is superb had a really great family meal.
the room was quiet, comfortable,and clean, as the staff were very helpful, there was a lovely park up the street and there was a bus stop near to go to the train station.Good value for money The part of the hotel we stayed at was not adjacent to the hotel it was accross the road and you could not sit in a lounge and relax with a drink in the evening. The impression we got it had grounds around the hotel but it is onto a street and so are the adjacent rooms
Everything needed was there Expensive as breakfast was not included.
Nice hotel and good value for money not sure that its 5* nothing to complain about
It was a nice quality hotel, shower and bed very good!!!
upgraded to suite
Jason was very helpful, the rooms were spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. We had a quiet room at the back of the annex, overlooking the car park, trees and squirrels. We thought the breakfasts were expensive so we chose to eat elsewhere.
Staff were friendly and efficient
the cozy room and kindness of owners
Quite comfortable ,the host is kind and friendly,and the breakfast is very nice.
Very close to train station but in quiet area. Nice & cozy rooms. Typical full English breakfast included. Very good value for price. Strange way to turn on showers - button outside of the bathroom.
For the amount I was paying I expected the worst having stayed in a similar price hotel earlier in the week. However it proved very good value for money and was comfortable, friendly, warm and quiet. the breakfast was a pleasant bonus.Short walk to train station for 15 minute journey to central London.
The breakfast is so good, this hostel is very comfortable. no, everything is good!
If we had a child, this would be a great little budget hotel. Hotel had tons of child safety measures, a crib and tons of strollers, which would be quite nice if we had a baby. Bed was quite comfy and location was right next to the train. Employees were decent. I loved that the room had a mini fridge and microwave! Overall acceptable and what was expected for the price. There was no wifi which sucked. The bathrooms were pretty dirty and not stocked with toilet paper. The lights were weird in the handicap bathroom and the main shower was just a storage room turned into a shower... It was quite weird. I didn't really like how they had rules of no drinking or swearing in the hotel, and it was weird that we had to return the room key everytime we left the hotel. Weird rules.

Hotel under construction in California catches fire
A massive fire engulfs a four-story hotel under construction in Camarillo as Main Street is closed over fears the building could collapse.
Social media posts from local residents revealed that the structure was a hotel under construction. Details posted by the Ventura County Police Scanner account on Twitter indicate that additional aerial ladders, along with at least five other engines, were called to the scene.
“Fires in multiple locations now reported. Power lines also on fire,” one tweet read.
The four-story hotel was being built near Las Posas Road and Ventura Boulevard, where the Camarillo Premium Outlets are located, along with other hotels, stores and restaurants. One Twitter user wrote: “Well there’s a structural fire at the Camarillo Outlets…the new hotels they were building.”
An unofficial fire news account on Twitter shared a terrifying video of firefighters working to put out the flames.
At the time of the fire, @CAFireScanner reported spot fires near US-101, causing the California Highway Patrol to close the freeway in both directions. It is not known if there were any injuries or deaths caused by the fire.
Early reports also indicated that first responders were anticipating the building’s collapse.

The Minister of Health, Marta Feared, said that the transition from the Braga Hospital to the public sphere, scheduled for September 1, will “ensure that users maintain the high quality care they have had and that workers continue to have peace of mind in your work ».
In Braga, after a meeting with the outgoing managing body and the new board of directors, the Minister said that the transition process is ready and that it will proceed “with normality and tranquility”.
Braga Hospital will cease to function as a Public-Private Partnership from 1 September and the Government wanted to ensure that “all normal functioning” would be maintained.
Feared Marta said that the transition of employees will be made according to their wishes and the information that exists so far is that “the vast majority made this choice”. The Minister also added that assistance to patients with conditions such as HIV or Multiple Sclerosis is not in question.
The hospital, which serves about 1.2 million users and employs around 2800 staff, “will have a contract program like other hospitals and public business entities.”

Though not as universally popular as Charlie Chaplin’s Little Tramp, master French filmmaker Jacques Tati’s creation Monsieur Hulot too remains an unforgettable character where slapstick comedy goes. Mr. Hulot’s Holiday introduced cinephiles to the friendly and polite, albeit bumbling, socially awkward and accident-prone everyman and the eponymous character of the film.
When Mr. Hulot visits a pleasant French countryside retreat for vacation, it is inevitable that mishaps will occur, and they form the basis for the immense enjoyment that the movie provides. Never one to indulge in over-dramatisation or racous fun, Tati filled the film with hilarious gags that make you laugh through their brilliant ideation, wit, subtle gestures and unadulterated humour – the brilliance of imagination and execution certainly ensured that the viewers would roll on the floor with laughter.
The sequence which introduced us, and the unfortunate hotel guests, to Hulot, and the one where he decides to display his tennis skills, are acts of pure genius and parts of cinematic folklore. In fact, the movie is filled with a multitude of moments that would stay with the viewers, including even something as mundane as the opening and closing of a door!
The film has very little in terms of dialogues; consequently it is more akin to the pure entertainment of silent era comedies which had to rely solely on audio-visual interplay. Tati was equally memorable as an actor, as he himself played the perennially pipe-smoking, unwittingly clumsy and thoroughly indelible protagonist of this astounding masterpiece.
Tati would go on to make three more films featuring Monsieur Hulot – Mon Oncle, Playtime (each better than the preceding film), and Traffic. It would be worthwhile to note that, the Hulot series had its beginning, albeit indirectly, in Tati’s debut film itself – the charming Jour De Fete.
Note: Shubhajit sent me an e mail apologizing for not being able at this very busy time for him to pen a longer review. I don’t personally feel that length is ever an issue, especially since he has consistently mastered the art of the capsule.

Clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord should be delayed for three minutes after birth, particularly for pre-term infants, suggests a senior doctor, Dr. Andrew Weeks, in the British Medical Journal. 28/08/2007.
Early clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord is widely practiced as part of the management of labor, but recent studies suggest that it may be harmful to the baby. Dr Andrew Weeks, a senior lecturer in obstetrics at the University of Liverpool, looked at the evidence behind cord clamping. For the mother, trials show that early cord clamping has no ill effects, he writes. But what about the baby?
At birth, he says, the umbilical cord sends oxygen-rich blood to the lungs until breathing establishes. When a baby is born it must transfer from receiving oxygen from the placenta to receiving oxygen from its lungs. For this to happen, the baby’s lungs must first expand, and the burst of blood from the umbilical cord helps to get the newborn’s lungs to expand properly. So as long as the cord is unclamped, the average transfusion to the newborn is equivalent to 21 percent of the neonate’s final blood volume and three quarters of the transfusion occurs in the first minute after birth. For babies born at term, the main effect of this large autotransfusion is to increase their iron status.
This may be lifesaving in areas where anemia is endemic. In the developed world, however, there have been concerns that it could increase the risk of abnormally high levels of red blood cells and bile pigments in the bloodstream often leading to jaundice. But trials has shown this is not the case.
Umbilical cord blood is a baby’s life blood until its birth. It contains stem cells, red blood cells, and more recently scientists have discovered that umbilical cord blood contains cancer-fighting T-cells.
For pre-term babies the beneficial effects of delayed clamping is greater, he says. Delayed clamping is consistently associated with reductions in anemia, bleeding in the brain, and the need for transfusion.
He proposes that in normal births, delaying cord clamping for three minutes with the baby on the mother’s abdomen should not be too difficult. The situation is a little more complex for babies born by caesarean section or for those who need support soon after birth. Nevertheless, it is these babies who may benefit most from a delay in cord clamping. For them, a policy of ‘wait a minute’ would be pragmatic, he says.
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) policy supports delayed cord clamping, stating:
“The optimal time to clamp the umbilical cord for all infants regardless of gestational age or fetal weight is when the circulation in the cord has ceased, and the cord is flat and pulseless (approximately 3 minutes or more after birth).”
“Clamping the umbilical cord immediately (within the first 10 to 15 seconds after delivery) prevents the newborn from receiving adequate blood volume and consequently sufficient iron stores.
Immediate cord clamping has been shown to increase the incidence of iron deficiency and anemia during the first half of infancy, with lower birth weight. Waiting to clamp the umbilical cord allows a physiological transfer of placental blood to the infant which provides sufficient iron reserves for the first 6 to 8 months of life, preventing or delaying the development of iron deficiency …
For premature and low birth weight infants, immediate cord clamping can also increase the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and late-onset sepsis.13 In addition, immediate cord clamping in these infants increases the need for blood transfusions for anemia and low blood pressure infants and infants born to iron-deficient mothers being at particular risk …
Numerous research studies and experts are also confirming that waiting to clamp the cord offers significant benefits. Among them:
• In the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, researchers say delayed cord clamping is “mankind’s first stem cell transfer and propose that it should be encouraged in normal births.”
• In a BMJ editorial, James Neilson, professor of obstetrics and gynecology, states that delayed clamping should be practiced.

Charles Bettelheim – Wikipedia
At the same time, Marxism lost its influence, especially in Francewhere a wave of anti-Communism succeeded in strugglrs not only the “archaeo-Communist” orthodoxy, but also Marxist critics such as Bettelheim. During the s, this alliance was replaced by an alliance of elite workers and technological chalres against the peasants, culminating in the forced collectivization of agriculture in The integration of state-owned industry in the overall process of reproduction of the conditions of production.
This page was last edited on 5 Decemberat Anamnesis is a Platonic theory of knowledge that posits the soul’s ability to recollect the things it knew in past incarnations, or an eternal knowledge, recovered through reasoning. The Bettelheims lived in Switzerland then in Egypt. Opposing Guevara, Bettelheim argued in line with the last writings of Stalin that the ” law of value ” was the manifestation of objective social conditions which could not be overcome by willful decisions, but only by a process of long-term social transformation.

Charles Bettelheim was keenly aware of this dual meaning when he wrote this book, as he bettslheim in the preface. Despite his negative experiences in Moscow, Bettelheim retained a favorable attitude towards Soviet socialism until the Sixties, citing the economic accomplishments of the Soviet Union, which he appreciated from an independent point of view.

His discussion of the operation of the new political apparatus and the way it served as an avenue for the bourgeoisie to struggle for its own place in the ostensibly new society confirms that the seizure of state power by the masses is not a single cataclysmic event but rather a necessary step in a long process of uprooting capitalism from society bit by bit.
From onward, Bettelheim fell more and more by the wayside—a result of the profound political changes in the Third World —and, in Europe, of the decline and eventual failure of “hard-line socialism “, which rendered “obsolete” any debate over the paradigms of development in the Southern countries, in an atmosphere of planned economy independent of the world market—an economy to which Bettelheim had contributed so much.
Views Read Edit View history. Bettelheim was a leading proponent of the thesis that “development” in the countries of the “Third World” necessitates a political break with imperialism and a distantanglement from the bonds of dependency on the unequal international division of labor of the world market.
More specifically, he noted that the Cultural Revolution—a revolution of the political, ideological and cultural superstructure—changed the industrial organization accompanying it by a general participation by ussr workers in all decisions, and overcoming the division of “manual” and “intellectual” labor.

The multi-hand European blackjack is a very simple slot game, much like the Texas Hold’em, in that you can win by betting on the amount of coins you own. On any of your multi-hand European Blackjack Calls, you can switch how many hands you currently have on the table by clicking on that area marked as Click to Bet Bets. You can also change the coin denomination by clicking the area above the fold on the right-hand side of the table, and if you click multiple times, a different coin of the same denomination will be active as your bet… you can then use this coin to bet for the duration of the hand, or to complete your final bet, if you are so inclined. Multi-Hands is a great way to improve your skills with any of the other games of chance at the casino: Blackjack, Slots, Roulette, Video Poker, etc.
This multi-hand game has a lot going for it, too. For one thing, it’s free to play. When you sign up for any casino service, you are usually given a limited time to try out a free game before you must commit to a long term membership. This way, you can practice for free and learn the various strategies, rules, etc, before committing to a large monthly subscription. Also, this multi-handed strategy game can be played in an online casino which offers slot games, but which does not offer blackjack.
In multi-hand European Blackjack, you can play in two unique versions, the Standard and the VIP. You can switch between the two whenever you like. That is, if you start out with a standard game and have a difficult time winning, you can switch to the VIP version and have more of an edge. As a rule, the minimum amount of money that you should lose in either version is the same. (VIP means that you will be paying the same as everyone else playing.)
What kind of advantage will you have? If you are playing strictly for cash, the advantage is very minor. The same goes for most other games of chance. However, it can be made to go in your favor by playing multiple slot machines. The odds will be heavily stacked against you if you attempt to win money from all of them, but you can take advantage of slots with a variety of odds on offer.
A good rule of thumb is to play the game for as much money as you can afford to lose. If you have several hundred Euro to spend, then you do not want to play for less than that. Otherwise, the odds of winning are not as great. It will be more of a toss up between the various slot machines and if you pick one you like the odds of winning will be better. For one, there could be several other slot players playing the same game and it might be a close call.
When you play multi hand blackjack, you should know that there are no guarantees to hitting more than one jackpot. That is just the nature of the game. You can however make a very nice profit if you win more than one machine. The odds are still not great, but if there are several players each having an equal chance of winning, it will still be worth a try.

The translation of language used in a legal setting and for a legal purpose is called legal translation in Dubai. Accuracy is of the essence in legal translation as even one word can change the meaning of a document. It is crucial to use a professional translator who has experience in legal translation. They will ensure the accuracy of a legal document while ensuring a fast turnaround. This is particularly important in legal translation as it is often necessary to obtain documents quickly.
Needs a good legal translator:
Legal translators have special skills, and they need to be fluent in both the mother tongue and the target language. This requires reading many documents and improving their language skills. They also need to understand the legal structure of the other language. They should know how to present information consistently and respectfully.
Legal documents often use complex terminology and phrases. They can be difficult to comprehend, especially if you are not a lawyer. That is why translations must be as accurate as possible. Moreover, they should be free of ambiguity. Moreover, the translator must understand the law of the country where they are working.
Professional legal translators should have in-depth knowledge of the subject matter, the target language, and legal systems. They must also be able to answer questions during the translation process. A good legal translation service will have translators who have experience in legal translations and who are native speakers of both languages. They should also be familiar with the legal history and traditions of the target country.
Need for accuracy:
Accuracy is essential in legal translation because even a slight mistranslation can result in a significant penalty. For example, a wrong name or number can lead to a lawsuit or a court dispute. If the wrong words are used, it could even result in a legal judgment or criminal charges. Such errors can have serious consequences for businesses and individuals and can lead to unnecessary legal bills.
Requirements for a good legal translator:
A good legal translator must be fluent in more than one language and have a deep understanding of both the source and target languages. This is particularly important because legal documents can have multiple meanings, and a misinterpretation can invalidate a legal document and cause expensive complications. In addition, a good translator must have excellent writing skills.

We’re interested in exploring the role of the arts in community and economic development.
In 2019, we received a grant award from the State of New York to produce Hamilton Summer Arts Fest in 2021, a program to enhance and market outdoor concerts and other summer arts activities in downtown Hamilton. Because of the pandemic, we made the difficult decision to rescind the grant, but we continued to work on developing the project.
In the summer of 2020, Colgate student Maddy Hettler ’23 worked with us as an Upstate Institute Field Scholar to research the broad field of “creative placemaking” and develop a tool by which we could identify artists and art spaces in the Hamilton area. Over the coming winter, we plan to utilize the survey and database Maddy developed to begin to explore how we can best be of service to local artists and the idea of developing a walkable downtown arts and entertainment district.

NEW DELHI: Airbus has commenced in-flight trials of IoT (Internet of Things) connected cabin technologies on board an A350-900 Flight Lab aircraft – to be shortly revealed to customers.
In doing so, Airbus becomes the first aircraft manufacturer to undertake such flight-testing of actual connected cabin innovations. The platform, known as the Airspace Connected Experience, was unveiled at the APEX Expo last year.
It will usher in a new personalised experience for passengers and provide opportunities for improving airlines’ ancillary revenues and operational efficiencies.
The Flight Lab is one of the original A350-900 certification flight-test aircraft – MSN002 – and is fitted with an Airspace cabin which now serves as the ideal platform to evaluate the new connected cabin technologies in flight. To this end, and in conjunction with our best-in-class cabin partners, an initial set of working elements have been installed.
These include prototypes of the connected iSeat (Recaro), the Connected Galley (gategroup), a remote wireless cabin management control system, a large OLED display and importantly, the first step of Airbus’ new “IoT backbone” which includes an open software platform. These innovations are all now being tested in flight – together with others to be revealed in due course to customers.
The connected cabin ecosystem will enable significant value-adding services for passengers, airlines and crews. Possible examples include:
Passengers will receive a more personalised travel experience specifically targeted to the individual needs and preferences, based on the available data. In particular this covers pre- and remote ordering of preferred meals, booking of private bin space, setting of individual seat positions as well as a tailor-made inflight IFE offer.
Airlines will be able to generate additional ancillary revenues through personalised retail and advertisement as well as new services, all enabled by the IoT approach. Furthermore, airlines will be able to improve their operational efficiency applying predictive maintenance, avoiding waste and making crew services more efficient. Other opportunities can easily be created and applied via apps.
Crews will find a better working environment and more efficient tools, digitally enabled by real-time data from the IoT platform throughout the cabin. A mobile smart device will allow crews to monitor and operate all components.
The in-flight tests are part of our customer-centric approach, which began with workshops to create and prioritise innovative concepts, followed by an extensive phase of on-ground testing and customer evaluation of the connected elements. The subsequent testing of these innovations in an Airbus Flight Lab environment is key to bringing an integrated Connected Experience to fruition – being able to validate and refine them in a real airborne cabin.
In particular, the tests allow the various elements to be operated and monitored during a normal flight cycle, especially with regard to the end-to-end data flow robustness within the systems and between them. The next steps will continue testing of the current setup, then close the feedback loop with airlines using Airbus’ Customer Experience Teams (CET) forum, by around year-end.

Understanding Material Ductility in CNC Machining
In the realm of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, where precision and accuracy are paramount, material ductility represents a significant factor influencing the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process. The intrinsic ability of metals to deform under tensile stress without fracturing is what defines their ductility. Grasping the challenges associated with this property is crucial for effectively milling parts that meet stringent specifications. Materials with high ductility, like aluminum or mild steel, can pose distinct difficulties during machining such as undesirable elongation or deflection, leading to inaccuracies and potential tool damage. Conversely, low-ductility materials might present risks of cracking or brittle failure under cutting forces. Recognizing these issues and adapting strategies accordingly ensures superior craftsmanship and structural integrity of machined components.
Definition of Material Ductility
Ductility refers to a material’s ability to deform under tensile stress, which is an essential factor in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining processes. When considering the ductility of materials used for CNC machining, it defines how pliable or malleable a substance is and consequently affects the quality of the finished component. Materials that exhibit high ductility, such as aluminum or mild steel, can endure significant deformation before rupture, allowing them to be effectively shaped into intricate parts without fracturing. In contrast, brittle materials like cast iron or glass possess low ductility and are more likely to crack or shatter when subject to similar stresses. The practical implications during machining include choosing cutting conditions and tool geometries that mitigate the risks associated with each type of material; ductile materials may require specific cutting speeds and feeds to prevent excessive elongation while brittle materials necessitate careful handling to avoid abrupt breakage.
Machining Challenges Posed by Ductile Materials
During CNC machining, ductile materials present a distinct set of challenges due to their inherent properties. Such materials tend to stretch rather than chip away cleanly, complicating the creation of precise cuts and potentially leading to poor surface finishes or dimensional inaccuracies. Furthermore, the machining process can induce stress in these malleable materials, causing them to warp or deform unpredictably. This behavior not only hampers the accuracy but also affects the functional integrity and aesthetics of the machined component. Special considerations must be employed, such as fine-tuning cutting parameters and employing advanced toolpath strategies, to mitigate the deformation and achieve the desired machining outcomes.
Tool Wear and Breakage Concerns
When machining ductile materials, the wear on cutting tools is accelerated due to the material’s ability to elongate and resist fracture. The constant adhesion of the ductile workpiece material onto the tool surface leads to increased abrasion and necessitates more frequent replacement or servicing of the tools, impacting project timelines and costs. Additionally, ductility can result in non-uniform deformation during cutting, presenting a risk for unpredictable loads on the tool. This can cause sudden breakages of the cutting edge, posing safety hazards and potential disruptions to the machining process. For example, during the milling of soft aluminum alloys, the gummy nature of the material can lead to excessive buildup on the cutter, causing an unexpected snap at the tool’s weakest point.
Surface Finish Issues
Machining ductile materials often presents a challenge in maintaining a high-quality surface finish due to the material’s tendency to stretch and deform rather than cut cleanly. This can lead to problems such as burr formation, where excess material protrudes from the edge of the workpiece after machining. To overcome these issues, machinists employ strategies such as optimizing cutting parameters like feed rate, speed, and depth of cut to minimize the stress on the material. Additionally, using sharp tools with appropriate coatings can reduce heat build-up that exacerbates burr formation. Effective use of coolant also aids by lubricating the cutting process and removing chips efficiently, preventing them from being re-cut and forming burred edges.
Impact of Material Elasticity on Precision and Accuracy during Machining
The pliability of ductile materials inevitably introduces a challenge when precision and accuracy are paramount in CNC machining. As these materials tend to deform under the stress of cutting tools, maintaining exact dimensional control becomes problematic. Minute deflections or spring-back effects can result in parts that deviate from their intended geometries. To counter this, precise adjustments in alignment and setup must be made ahead of time. For example, implementing compensation strategies within the CNC machine programming can pre-emptively account for potential material flex, ensuring that final cuts accurately reflect design specifications. Careful calibration and clamping techniques may also be required to stabilize the workpiece throughout the machining process.
The secure work holding of ductile materials is essential in CNC machining due to the tendency of these materials to deform when subjected to forces, leading to inaccuracies or tool damage. To minimize movement and displacement, engineers employ various strategies such as vacuum fixtures that distribute holding force evenly, or vises with specialized soft jaws shaped to match the contour of the part which prevent marring and ensure stability without excessive clamping force. Additionally, implementing programmable pressure controls can finely adjust the gripping power according to the material’s properties, avoiding deformation while providing ample support during machining.
Thermal Management During Machining
Effective thermal management is crucial in CNC machining, particularly when dealing with materials that have high ductility. The pliability of these materials often leads to an increased generation of heat as they deform rather than readily chip away. Managing this heat is pivotal to prevent the overheating of both the tool and workpiece which can result in compromised structural integrity and dimensional inaccuracies. Techniques like interrupted cutting, using coolant fluids, or optimizing the feed rate and cutting speed are employed to dissipate heat efficiently. For example, applying a coolant not only reduces temperature but also lubricates the cutting area, extending tool life and maintaining the quality of the machined surface by removing heat through evaporation and convection mechanisms.
Case Study Example: Machining of Pure Copper
In a case study involving the machining of pure copper, a highly ductile material known for its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, engineers faced significant challenges with material deformation and tool wear. The inherent softness and stickiness of copper caused excessive burring and surface finish issues during the CNC machining process. To counteract these problems, precise control of cutting speeds, use of sharp carbide tools, and employment of a high-pressure coolant system were implemented to minimize heat generation and facilitate chip evacuation. Additionally, specialized tool paths were programmed to create intermittent cuts, reducing the contact time between tool and workpiece thus limiting the chances for material smearing. This strategic approach showcased how tailored techniques can overcome the obstacles brought about by the ductility of materials like copper in precision CNC operations.
Best Practices for Machining Ductile Materials
In the realm of CNC machining, ductility poses unique challenges that necessitate specific strategies to ensure both efficiency and quality in the manufacturing process. Key among these best practices is the selection of tools tailored to withstand the deformation characteristics inherent to ductile materials such as soft metals. Similarly crucial is the fine-tuning of machine speeds and feeds to mitigate the risk of inducing excessive work-hardening or generating unwanted heat due to material stretching. Effective coolant utilization also plays a pivotal role, providing necessary lubrication and temperature control to preserve the tool’s edge and maintain the integrity of the machined part. In practice, machinists might opt for high-positive rake angles on cutting implements to minimize resistance and thus lower the forces exerted during the shaping of pliable substrates.
Challenges Posed by Material Ductility in CNC Machining
The importance of recognizing material ductility within the realm of CNC machining cannot be overstated, as it directly influences the success and precision of the fabrication process. Acknowledging ductility limitations aids in making critical adjustments to machine settings such as reducing cutting speeds or modifying feed rates to prevent material deformation and ensure a quality finish. Tool selection also plays a pivotal role; for instance, utilizing sharper tools with specific geometries can minimize forces exerted on the workpiece and thereby mitigate the bending effect prominent in ductile materials. Furthermore, pre-treatment procedures like annealing may enhance machinability by tempering the material’s structure for easier shaping. In cases where CNC machining faces substantial hurdles due to extreme ductility, alternative manufacturing processes such as metal stamping or 3D printing might offer better compatibility, given their ability to handle the flow characteristics inherent in highly ductile metals.

As if he won't see enough of the St. Louis Blues this weekend, Washington Coach Gary Green flew to Pittsburgh Wednesday night and watched the Blues play dead for the Penguins, 9-3. He was not fooled into expecting similar necrotomy when the Blues visit Capital Centre tonight at 8, then entertain the Capitals in the Checkerdome Saturday night.
"(St. Louis Coach) Red Berenson and I got even," said Green, after returning a half hour late yesterday for the start of the Capitals' practice at Fort Dupont. "He scouted us Sunday in Chicago, when we played so poorly. It was a similar situation. They were coming off a big win over Montreal and we had just beaten the Rangers. It frequently happens that a team coming off a big win will be ripe for the taking.
"St. Louis' penalty killing has always been the best in the league and last night they gave up three power-play goals. But it doesn't give me false ideas. I know certain things not to accept. I still got a good understanding of their system.
"This is the last of our homestand (the Capitals will be on the road until Nov. 5 because of the horse show) and it's a very important game for us. It will be a tough game, too. Putting last night aside, they have a good hockey club (Mike) Liut has been unbelievable in the nets."
Ed Staniowski was the victim in Pittsburgh, but Liut will be in goal tonight. The Bowling Green University product was the key factor in the Blues' amazing rise from oblivion to overall 10th place in the NHL a year ago. Mike Palmateer, the man Washington is counting on for similar improvement this season, will make his first appearance since that eight-goal yield in Chicago Sunday.
Wayne Stephenson, the onetime St. Louis goalie who recorded the Capitals' first shutout in 33 months against Chicago on Tuesday, will return to action in the Saturday contest, the first TV game (WDCA-TV-20) of the Capitals' season.
This is the second of five back-to-back scheduling situations for the Capitals and Green enjoys them. He is too modest to say so, but it is likely because he figures he can pick up enough pointers during the first contest to outwit his coaching counterpart the next night.
Green certainly made the proper tactical changes to reverse the Chicago result and last year, in the only such arrangement, against Pittsburgh, he enjoyed a four-goal victory two nights after enduring a four-goal defeat.
"I loved the back-to-back scheduling in junior (hockey)," said Green, who led Peterborough to the Memorial Cup before joining the Washington organization. "They're good for the rivalry. It's the way it was back in the days when the NHL had only six teams.
"You know the opposition that much more, they are fresh in your minds and you know how to attack them better.
"At Peterborough, we always played at home on Thursday night and went to the other city the next night. We were really up for the return. We'd convince everybody that if our bus beat their bus to the next city, we'd win the game. The driver used to get a lot of pressure to put the pedal down.
"Ironically, we have the first flight to St. Louis Saturday."
Washington center Rolf Edberg still is bothered by a pulled muscle in the lower back and his availability for tonight will be determined at this morning's skate. Also missing practice yesterday were two who definitely will play -- Bengt Gustafsson, resting an assortment of bruises, and Yvon Labre, summoned to meet the immigration folks.
Following tonight's game, there will be an auction benefitting Ronald McDonald House, in which players' services will be available to the highest bidder. Among the more interesting items are a pair of Sasson jeans, with Mulvey in them; a dinner prepared at the bidder's home by Dennis Maruk, assisted by butlers Jean Pronovost and Bob Kelly, and a professional rubdown "for ladies only" by trainer Gump Embro.
One item offers a chance to acquire the services of any Capital for any purpose. Rumor has it rookie Darren Veitch plans to use his bonus money to buy Kelly and shave him.
