Hill Country Live presents music in our clubs downstairs in New York City & Washington, D.C. Since our beginnings, we have transformed our music program, from a fun dinner enhancement to a vital music experience. We book bands that live comfortably under the Americana banner with a nod to our spiritual home in Austin, and so have been graced by the likes of Billy Joe Shaver, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Bob Schneider, Hayes Carll, Puss 'n Boots (feat: Norah Jones), The Bottle Rockets, Marah, Chris Knight, Jim White, Big Sandy and Kelly Willis + Bruce Robison, to name a few. But we are also quite happy to present everything from the legendary underground rockabilly revivalist, Robert Gordon to a Bee Gees Metal Tribute (what's more American than that?) to the Motor City Garage Soul of the Detroit Cobras.
Hill Country Live presents over 500 shows a year between our NYC and Washington, D.C. locations. To be considered please send us links to your website, live performance video, show/attendance history and a brief description. While we review every artist, we can’t always respond to everyone. Thanks for sharing your music! Submit your music inquiry to firstname.lastname@example.org.

Exercises includes night-time helicopter assault and the dropping of US paratroopers to build a temporary bridge over Poland’s Vistula river.
A large-scale military training exercise involving more than 20 NATO and partner countries has kicked off in Poland, part of efforts to reassure east European nations rattled by Russia’s actions in nearby Ukraine.
For more than 10 days, 30,000 troops backed by large numbers of vehicles, aircraft and ships will be deployed in one of the biggest exercises on NATO’s eastern flank since the end of the Cold War, a move likely to put further strain on the already-tense relations between the Kremlin and the West.
NATO says exercises such as Anakonda-16, Exercise Saber Strike 16, and plans for the deployment of more troops to the region are a defensive response to Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and its support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.
The United States will provide around 14,000 troops for the exercise, the largest foreign contingent. Non-NATO countries such as Sweden and Finland are also taking part in the exercise.
Poland joined NATO in 1999, a decade after the demise of Moscow-backed communism in eastern Europe. Warsaw has been very critical of Moscow’s actions in Ukraine and has repeatedly urged NATO to boost its presence on Polish territory.

Autumn is the best time to start a compost bin. First, when you make a compost pile in the autumn, you get a quick start on your compost with leaves which decompose quickly. Secondly, if you compost now, you’ll have beautiful black gold (that’s what my mother, the most amazing gardener I know, calls it) by springtime.
Every spring, I dream of a fantastic vegetable garden, filled with ripe produce I can pick and cook the same day. Peas, green beans, tomatoes, peppers – my whole kitchen will be overflowing with the bountiful harvest of my labor.
But reality sets in. I’m not a good gardener. Even during the spring of quarantine, my efforts were spotty at best and my rewards were slim. But, that shall not prevent me from dreaming!
Compost reportedly improves the taste and nutrition of the vegetables you grow in your garden. Using a compost pile also reduces garbage which saves space in landfills (which reduces methane production which reduces greenhouse gases).
Here are some simple tips to making a great compost pile:
- Invest in a $40 compost bin that spins if you want. Or use a garbage can with a few holes drilled
into the bottom and sides. This year, I’m using both (dreaming big!). I have a black bin and an old garbage can. You can even use an area fenced in by chicken wire.
- Vary the size of the particles in your compost bin. Mix larger things and smaller things in layers to allow for lots of air circulation.
- Stir your compost pile every once in a while. Use a pitch fork, shovel or rake, or spin it.
- To speed up your compost pile, add some soil and worms to it. The bacteria in soil and the worms in soil help to break the food scraps and garden waste down faster.
- Choose a dry shady area for your compost.
What can you compost?
Try to have a roughly equal mixture of browns (dead leaves) and greens (food scraps and grass clippings) to ensure enough nutrients for all of your spring crops.
- Brown items like dead leaves and twigs provide carbon. You can also add cardboard, paper, straw, old corn stalks, nut shells, newspaper, dryer lint, and fireplace ashes. Adding browns also reduces the smell that some compost can produce if there is a lot of food scraps.
- Green items like grass clippings, food scraps (other than meat, dairy, and oil) provide nitrogen. You can also add egg shells, coffee grounds, coffee filters, tea and tea bags, fruit peels, houseplants.
- Water helps break down the greens and the brown.
Your compost is ready when it is dark and crumbly and no longer looks like food scraps. Some foods like watermelon rinds and avocado peels take longer to break down, but most food scraps and yard waste breaks down in about six months.
It’s really never too early to teach your students about compost piles. Here’s a no-prep informational text article with analysis questions to help build your scientific literacy. I use it as a sub plan but it makes sense as a homework or enrichment assignment during a decomposition unit or a unit on soil.


DISTRIBUTION: southern USA; Central and South America; Antilles.
TYPE LOCALITY: Venezuela.
BELIZE RECORDS: Las Cuevas; Augustine.
METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION: by comparison with specimens in my collection from the West
Indies identified as this species by Eugene Munroe of Ottawa.
NOTES: this appears to be a characteristic species.

Law Enforcement Solutions
Every year, thousands of inmates are mistakenly released from jail. This is not unusual considering that 60% of most career criminals have multiple alias' and several valid drivers licenses from different states confirming these false identities. For most officers, it's very difficult to really know who they are arresting.
In order to combat this problem,ATEK/AWT's Law Enforcement Solutions focus on Identity Management and Verification when being booked and upon release. AWT utilizes the Geometrix© FaceVision™ system for it's Identity Management and Verification. For more information on this system, click here. Even if the person has provided a false identity, if they have been arrested in the county before and are in the 3D database, they will be identified. The system will even display all previous bookings with the information provided at the time of the arrest.
At the Adult Detention Facility in Cobb County, GA, AWT's 3D Facial Recognition System creates a 3D Biometric Template of every inmate booked into their facility. Upon release, the system uses that template to verify that the correct inmate is being released. The system at Cobb County currently has over 40,000 inmates enrolled in their system and have not had an erroneous release since the system was installed in April 2004.
Although Prisoner Processing is at the core of the AWT Law Enforcement Solutions, 3D Facial Recognition Technology has numerous other applications in Law Enforcement including:

The Arab European League has been fined €1,000 by a court in Arnhem for carrying a cartoon on its website which suggested the holocaust was invented by Jews, reports Friday's Volkskrant.According to a Reuters story:
The cartoon featured two men in suits discussing how to boost the number of people killed during the holocaust.
The court ruled the cartoon was 'highly offensive' to Jews. The total fine was €2,500 with €1,500 suspended. Abdoulmouthalib Bouzerda, head of the AEL who drew the cartoon, was acquitted.
The Dutch group says it had no intention of disputing the Holocaust, but wanted instead to highlight what it described as double standards in free speech.MPAC-UK, in a very revealing moment that was repeated over and over again in the Muslim world during the original cartoon controversy, thinks the hypocrisy charge is on-target, thereby reminding us that they are, after all, an organization co-founded by somebody who once gave money to David Irving. (And if you think it is unfair to Muslims to focus much attention on them, recall also that they were invited by the BBC to give a pro-democracy rebuttal to Hizb Ut-Tahrir Caliphate advocacy). Iran's PressTV comments at the end of its article on this latest chapter in the cartoon saga:
The AEL circulated it in 2006 after a Danish newspaper published a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad . . .
Challenging or disputing the Holocaust story is considered a major offense in Europe, entailing fines and long prison term. Many observers view this as a contradiction to the so-called democratic principles of Western democracies, namely the freedom of expression.Which really means that they, like MPAC-UK, support Holocaust denial (certainly the "soft-core" version, at least), want to shove Muslim taboos down the world's throat, and don't care about freedom of speech. I wonder what Feisal Abdul Rauf thinks. Don't you?

In this episode, I talk about how some mistakes men make with women stem from unrealistic expectations and impatience. I also talk about the importance of impulse control around women to whom you’re very attracted.
Why should you care about any of this? Because, many times the “right” move with a new woman is the exact opposite of what you FEEL like doing. Once you understand this simple idea, you can improve your chances with new women - even if those women are very attractive.
RR22. Accept the fact that success with women often involves some waiting and some frustration.
- A lot of success with women is about discipline and patience.
- Impatience and a lack of discipline around women is like steroids for “DNA” (desperate, needy, afraid) behaviors.
- There’s not some ultra-elite group of dating geniuses who never have to wait or be frustrated with a woman.
- What works with women is often the opposite of what you’re driven by impulse to say or do.
- The Mr. Patience and Mr. Discipline version of you is WAY better with women. The Impulse Version of You is terrible with women.
Quote to Remember:
“Never forget that once a new woman starts liking you and you’re being patient with her, this only helps to build sexual tension even more.”

text: LONDON, Sept. 13 -- Patients who suffer from angina but are not eligible for a bypass operation or other surgical treatment can get relief with transmyocardial revascularisation (TMR), according to a study published in the medical journal The Lancet. In TMR, a laser is used to create channels through the muscular layer of the heart wall to increase blood flow. TMR lowered angina scores, increased exercise tolerance time and improved patients' perceptions of quality of life, said James Jones of the University of Missouri. Jones and a team of researchers conducted their study of 182 patients at 16 medical centers. All of the patients observed had severe angina and were taking drugs for the condition; many had already suffered a heart attack. Ninety-two patients were selected at random to undergo TMR while continuing drug therapy. The scientists measured the extent of the disease and the exercise ability of both groups of patients at three, six and 12 months after the start of the trial. Patients in the group receiving TMR were able to exercise longer and showed more improvement in their conditions than did those in the drugs-only group. Our study showed significant improvements in symptoms and function after 12 months among no-option patients treated with TMR, Jones added.

BRIGHTON, Colo. (CBS4)– An Adams County District Judge has ordered a former sheriff’s deputy released from prison after he served less than one year of a five-year prison sentence for second-degree assault and other charges.
“We were thrilled with the ruling,” said Donald Sisson, the attorney for former Adams County sheriffs deputy.
Sisson said he expected Morrow to be released from a prison in Sterling Thursday evening.
“We were very surprised. This is extremely rare particularly in a crime of violence,” said Sisson.
Morrow was charged with slugging a restrained prisoner in 2011 in the back of an ambulance after the man, Norberto Rodriguez, was unruly, belligerent and aggressive. The punch broke the victim’s jaw.
A jury convicted Morrow of second-degree assault in October 2013 and a judge sentenced Morrow to five years in prison.
Morrow’s lawyer filed for sentence reconsideration. After 228 days confinement, Judge Katherine Delgado ruled Thursday that Morrow should be released since he had no previous record and presented no threat to the community or the victim.
In her ruling, Delgado wrote, “The Court DOES NOT condone the defendants behavior. The defendant, a trained police officer lost his patience and self-control when he struck Mr. Rodriguez with a single blow.”
She said the time Morrow had been in prison had been “substantial and adequate.”
Her ruling noted that the victim in the case opposed the deputy being released early.
Sisson said he informed Morrow’s mother of the ruling late Thursday afternoon.
“She was elated and emotional,” said the attorney.
He told CBS4 that Adams County prosecutors vehemently opposed the sentence reconsideration saying it would send a message that police officers are treated differently than the average citizen.
After being released, the judge’s order calls for Morrow to be on probation for two years.

Let’s rewind the career of Harvey Weinstein to the 1980s.
Harvey and his brother, Bob, Weinstein were just beginning to make big strides with their company Miramax. At this point Harvey was afforded meetings young, early or pre-career actresses and movie business hopefuls. According to reports from past employees, Harvey became known for calling meetings in his hotel rooms where inappropriate comments and touching would often take place. Administrative employees were required to assist in the set up of these private meetings. Female employees began using the buddy system to avoid showing up at these meetings alone, or wearing parkas and other heavy layers of clothing to avoid being touched.
For these employees, silence was not only encouraged, but was required. This was the beginning of creating the machine that stroked his ego. It’s called SILENCE. If and when an employee decided not to keep quiet, the legal team was immediately called in, a cash settlement was made that was a lot of money for an early career worker who did not want her career ruined, and she would be forced to sign a confidentiality agreement.
How could the Harvey story have had different results?
Imagine if the early employees subjected to inappropriate comments had been empowered to come forward. They felt comfortable telling Harvey that he needed to refrain from using suggestive language in their presence and if it continued, they would simply leave the meeting. When the behavior continued, they knew they could report the incidents to Human Resources and be taken seriously. A respectful investigation process, which had been communicated to them in advance, would be conducted with no retaliation. Harvey would be held accountable for his actions, including steps to ensure that this did not happen again. Repeated behaviors would be subjected to more public scrutiny which could damage Harvey’s reputation as well as that of the company.
What would it have taken to make this possible?
As a society, we would have had to understand the lifelong impact that harassment has on people, both men and women, who are not only victims, but those who are aware of the incidents and are forced to keep quiet. Clear communication would have had to have taken place at every level of the company that sexual and other harassment simply would not be tolerated. Not just once, but often as a matter of general discussion. Employees would have to have been aware of the process to report and begin the investigation process, and that this is their right. A policy of “No retaliation” would have to have been stated and practiced. A respectful investigation process would have had to have been used each and every time for employees to develop trust in the process. Those found guilty of harassment would have to be held accountable.
Business leaders have a choice to make.
Since 1986, when the first three sexual harassment cases were upheld by the courts, followed by the most well-known Anita Hill case in 1991, companies have been taking position to protect themselves from liability in these claims including Employer Professional Liability insurance and periodic anti-harassment training. These measure, while potentially limiting exposure for the companies, have not resulted in prevention. Companies will not be protected until they begin protecting their employees. Employees will not be protected, until steps are taken to change behaviors in the workplace.
When companies make a conscious choice to start talking openly about harassment, providing training to employees about how to deal with uncomfortable situation, help them find the words to speak up for themselves, promise no retaliation to those who come forward, ensure a respectful investigation process and hold offenders accountable, WE WILL SEE CHANGE.
Accountability stops sexual harassment in the workplace before it starts.
New tools are being created to help executives and human resources professional make the needed changes.
We have a choice. We can stop harassment. Let’s start now. There are tools that can help. www.thehrinvestigator.com.

Muslims in the North East are being urged to make sure they are immunised against meningitis before an annual pilgrimage.
The Meningitis Trust has put out the warning as pilgrims from all over the region get ready for the Hajj in Saudi Arabia next month.
The vaccine will protect them from strains of meningitis that are not common in the UK but may be carried by pilgrims from other areas of the world.
Philip Kirby, chief executive of the Meningitis Trust said: "People need to be fully aware of the dangers of meningitis both in the UK and abroad and receive appropriate protection where available.
"When people are in prolonged close contact in large gatherings, such as the Hajj, opportunities for transfer of bacteria between people are increased."
The trust says all pilgrims from the UK should have the ACWY vaccine at least two weeks before they travel.

Государственный суверенитет: концепции и реальность
The article analyses the compatibility of state sovereignty with limited government as constitutional value. The author believes that it can be achieved only when the concept of limited state sovereignty is recognized. Very progressive concept of limited state sovereignty concept is to be the concept of sovereignty as responsibility.
Rethinking the standard theory of democratic transition the author shows the uneven character of Central Asian political regimes. He sketches different strategies of political modernization in order to represent the impact of Post-Soviet constitutional reforms regarding such items as separation of powers, parliamentarism, presidential power and the role of political leadership. He discusses the importance of constitutional developments for traditional societies in transition, and concludes that post-communist constitutional development in the region is still far from complete.
The book consists of chapters (articles) devoted the South-European constitutionalism of 1812, when two constitutions were adopted (in Spain and Sicily). Napoleon at that time not only won a few countries, but founded new states, gifted constitutions to some new and old states. Adoptions of constitutions in Cadiz and in Palermo in 1812, were events of extraordinary importance. They demonstrated a protest against Napoleonic wars and defense the right of nations to decide their future and way of development.
The chapter explores the foreign policy priorities of China and Russia with regard to the following sub-questions: Are China and Russia driven by ideology or by pragmatism? How much weight does ‘hard power’ carry versus ‘soft power’ in the strategic policy formulation of both countries? How do they strive to uphold their insistence on respect for sovereignty while their economic power increasingly relies on international interdependence?
The article is devoted to the influence of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 to the constitutionalism of the Russian Empire in the first quarter of the XIX. The author demonstrates the attention of different circles of Russian society to the national liberation movement of the Spanish people against France in 1808-1814 and to the Revolution of 1820-1823 in Spain as well as the Spanish events coverage in the Russian press. Effect of inspiring of the Fundamental law of 1812, enacted in Spain also in 1820 is noticed to be an example for the Russians to pursue for their Motherland. Particular attention is given to the constitutional ideas of members of secret societies, the future of the Decembrists, the motion of which is studied in the context of the "military revolution" in Europe. The researcher analyzes the influence of the Spanish constitution of 1812 on P.Pestel, author of "Russkaya Pravda" (project of the Southern secret society) and N. Muraviev who prepared the constitutional project, which we can study in three editions.
This book sheds new light on the continuing debate within political thought as to what constitutes power, and what distinguishes legitimate from illegitimate power. This book concludes by arguing that the Russian experience provides a useful lens through which ideas of power and legitimacy can be re-evaluated and re-interpreted, and through which the idea of “the West” as the ideal model can be questioned.
This article addresses the question of philosophy and political program of contemporary Russian conservatism. The author analyses historical origins of this doctrine and the role of conservative romanticism in a framework of the current political process. From this position the author focuses on comparative analysis of Russian and West European forms of phenomenon under consideration.
This article is about alternative strategies of constitutional transformation in the period of elaboration of the Russian Constitution of 1993. The author analyses historical origins of basic constitutional principles such as parliament democracy, separation of powers and different forms of government and their interpretation during political crisis of the period under consideration.
We address the external effects on public sector efficiency measures acquired using Data Envelopment Analysis. We use the health care system in Russian regions in 2011 to evaluate modern approaches to accounting for external effects. We propose a promising method of correcting DEA efficiency measures. Despite the multiple advantages DEA offers, the usage of this approach carries with it a number of methodological difficulties. Accounting for multiple factors of efficiency calls for more complex methods, among which the most promising are DMU clustering and calculating local production possibility frontiers. Using regression models for estimate correction requires further study due to possible systematic errors during estimation. A mixture of data correction and DMU clustering together with multi-stage DEA seems most promising at the moment. Analyzing several stages of transforming society’s resources into social welfare will allow for picking out the weak points in a state agency’s work.
The article is devoted to the study of the authoritarianism prevalent in the mass consciousness of Russians. The article describes a new approach to the consideration of the authoritarian syndrome as the effects of the cultural trauma as a result of political and socio-cultural transformation of society. The article shows the dynamics of the symptoms of the authoritarianism, which appear in the mass consciousness of Russians from 1993 to 2011. This paper proposes a package of measures aimed at reducing the level of the authoritarianism in Russian society.
This work looks at a model of spatial election competition with two candidates who can spend effort in order to increase their popularity through advertisement. It is shown that under certain condition the political programs of the candidates will be different. The work derives the comparative statics of equilibrium policy platform and campaign spending with respect the distribution of voter policy preferences and the proportionality of the electoral system. In particular, it is whown that the equilibrium does not exist if the policy preferences are distributed over too narrow an interval.
The article examines "regulatory requirements" as a subject of state control over business in Russia. The author deliberately does not use the term "the rule of law". The article states that a set of requirements for business is wider than the legislative regulation.
First, the article analyzes the regulatory nature of the requirements, especially in the technical field. The requirements are considered in relation to the rule of law. The article explores approaches to the definition of regulatory requirements in Russian legal science. The author analyzes legislation definitions for a set of requirements for business. The author concludes that regulatory requirements are not always identical to the rule of law. Regulatory requirements are a set of obligatory requirements for entrepreneurs’ economic activity. Validation failure leads to negative consequences.
Second, the article analyzes the problems of the regulatory requirements in practice. Lack of information about the requirements, their irrelevance and inconsistency are problems of the regulatory requirements in Russia.
Many requirements regulating economic activity are not compatible with the current development level of science and technology. The problems are analyzed on the basis of the Russian judicial practice and annual monitoring reports by Higher School of Economics.
Finally, the author provides an approach to the possible solution of the regulatory requirements’ problem. The author proposes to create a nationwide Internet portal about regulatory requirements. The portal should contain full information about all regulatory requirements. The author recommends extending moratorium on the use of the requirements adopted by the bodies and organizations of the former USSR government.

Anglian Water reservoir levels yet to recover from summer
Anglian Water is taking extra steps to ensure its water supplies remain secure after a prolonged period of below-average rainfall.
The region saw only 54 per cent of average rainfall during the heatwave last summer and since then has had only 89 per cent of the long-term average, which means levels remain low.
“The rain in early December certainly helped to bolster our supplies," Hannah Stanley-Jones, head of water resources for Anglian Water, said. "With average reservoir levels currently at around 78 per cent, our supplies are secure, but coming after what was an exceptionally long dry summer, we haven’t seen the recovery in groundwater levels that we would normally expect for this time of year.”
In response to the dry summer, Anglian Water has ploughed extra resources into a programme of work this winter to ensure its equipment is primed to make the most of the water available.
“Our teams are currently undertaking a programme of work including things like cleaning our underground boreholes to ensure they can work at full capacity to get the water we need," Stanley-Jones added.
“The East of England is the driest region in the country and we are used to periods with little rainfall. We undertake this kind of work every winter but, with rain levels below average for this time of year, it is essential that extra steps are taken to ensure water provisions remain strong for the rest of the year and the warmer months ahead.
"We are also putting more resources than ever into driving down leakage in our pipe network, with extra teams deployed to find and fix leaks.”
The company is also urging its customers to ramp up water-saving measures, such as fixing dripping taps, lagging pipes to prevent bursts and taking shorter showers.
“Our customers are already some of the most water savvy in the country," Stanley-Jones said. "On average each of us use 133 litres each per day compared to the national average of about 140-145 litres. That equates to the difference of about 4 million toilet flushes every day.
"There is always more we can all do to use water wisely, all year round. If we all save a bit now, there will be enough for summer fun later in the year.”

Porsche is looking forward to its return to top-level competition at the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, but it’s also looking back.
The Porsche 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition isn’t poorly-conceived joke about drunk driving, it’s a tribute to classic Porsche race cars like the 917 and 935 “Moby Dick,” which wore Martini’s signature red-and-blue racing stripes into battle throughout the 1970s.
The livery still looks good on today’s 991-generation 911. The stripes contrast either a black or white body color, while Porsche’s Aerokit Cup body kit completes the transformation.
On the inside, passengers won’t forget that they’re in a Martini Racing Edition, thanks to numerous badges. Other features include body-color dashboard trim, a sport steering wheel, and a standard Sport Chrono pack. Buyers can also add the Porsche Communication Management package, which includes navigation, a Bose sound system, and a black tachometer and leather seats.
While the Martini edition may look more like a race car than the conventional Carrera S, the two cars are mechanically identical. Drivers are treated to a 3.8-liter flat-six with 400 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, coupled to either a seven-speed manual or PDK dual-clutch automated transmission.
With the PDK and Sport Plus mode engaged, the Martini will mirror the standard Carrera S’ 0 to 62 mph time of 4.1 seconds and top speed of 188 mph.
The 911 Carrera S Martini Racing Edition will be limited to just 80 units worldwide, and so far none are coming to the U.S. The car will launch in Europe later this month, followed by China in August, and Japan and Latin America in October.
So U.S. buyers will probably miss out on this tribute to Porsche racing heritage, but there are plenty of other classic racing liveries to revive. How about a Gulf Racing 911 to honor Steve McQueen?

Prior to the invention of the crawler tractor, for which Benjamin Holt is often given credit, a metal blade was attached to and pulled by livestock to perform dozing operations. Holt’s invention came not long after the turn of the 20th century. An English company, R. Hornsby and Sons, sold its patents for a bulldozing machine to Holt in the 1910s. In the 1920s the use of bulldozers took off as they became more widely available. Since that time, improvements have been made and will continue to be made into the future. Now that we’ve covered some of the history, let’s delve into the features, uses and classifications of contemporary dozers.
The bulldozer is an iconic fixture in the class of machines known as heavy equipment. Also known as dozers, track type tractors or crawler tractors, they are synonymous with power and reliability. They are equipped with a hydraulically operated horizontal blade for moving large quantities of earth, rock and other material. The dozer is mounted on tracks and uses its broad blade for land clearing, grading, excavating, placing and transporting materials. Dozers are used in construction projects, mines, agriculture and forestry.
Its tracks and low center of gravity provides traction and stability on slopes and unstable surfaces. This also increases the transfer of power to the ground. Because of their metal tracks, these dozers cannot be maneuvered on paved surfaces. There are also a variety of blades and other attachments are available for use with a dozer. These attachments enable the dozer to perform various tasks in different work conditions.
A dozer can be classified as a finish grade dozer, production dozer or special application dozer.
Finish grade dozers
Finish grade dozers are smaller and used for finish grading, light dozing and excavation. A finished grade means that the final elevation and contour of the ground conforms to the desired ground leveling specifications. These dozers are equipped with variable power angle tilt blades (VPAT or PAT blades). The blade can be moved up or down, angled to the left or right, and tilted up or down on either side. The pitch, or vertical angle to the ground, can also be adjusted.
Production dozers are used for rough grading and large-scale production operations where large amounts of material need to be moved or excavated. These dozers have heavy-duty blades to work in tougher environments such as heavy construction, mining and land reclamation.
Dozers are also classified according to operating weight and power:
Small – less than 20,000 pounds, 75 – 125 hp.
Medium – 20,000 – 60,000 pounds, 125 – 250 hp.
Large – 60,000 – 150,000 pounds, more than 250 hp
Some dozers, such as the Komatsu 575, exceed the weight and horsepower specifications of a large dozer. They are usually used for surface mining and land reclamation projects. The Komatsu 575 A2 weighs 284,337 pounds. It has a 12-cylinder engine producing 1,065 horsepower.
Now that you have a better grasp on the role bulldozers fulfill within the realm of heavy equipment, it’s time to consider a career operating one. Maybe you’ve been dreaming of being at the helm of a bulldozer since you were a little kid. In that case, all you need to make your childhood dream a reality is to enroll in a heavy equipment program at a heavy equipment school. That school is HEC.

Regardless of industry, if only focus on the development of the industry in the country, it is hard to have a long-term progress, if an industry wants to develop further, should absorb the advanced experience of foreign, granular packing machine
and other packaging machine
ry, for example, the current domestic food machinery industry has made many achievements, but compared with foreign related enterprises of other products, there are still a certain gap, we simply introduce the particle packing machine for you industry development present situation and development trend.
Packaging industry in the United States started in the early last century, since the second world war to get fast development, gradually establish and form including packaging materials, packaging technology and packaging machine
ry complete and independent industrial system, its packaging gross industrial output value accounted for 3% of the national economic output.
The direction of development includes the following four points: 1, attach importance to brand: for granular packing machine enterprise, the brand is the soul of enterprise, with the industry, according to the analysis of the current domestic top ten packaging enterprise is in turn: Barry -
Wehmillre, Beinis company, SA - company
SIBSPA company, AveryDeeeison company, Bosch, CrownCork&
Ha, DougalsMachine, RAJouesCohpany, Kliklk and Krones company, in the process of development, the company has three points in common, that is: value the enterprise sales performance, and strive to improve the enterprise packaging machinery brand visibility and importance to the enterprise product after-sales service, visible to the attention of the brand.
2, pay attention to innovation: the food industry as a packaging machinery zui big use industry in the United States, almost all models, models are used in the food industry.
Among them, the demand of soft drinks for packaging machinery in zui, 2005 (50%);
The food industry demand for packaging machinery from 1994 to 2005, average annual growth rate of 7%.
It is because of the American food every year tens of thousands of kinds of new products, so as to speed up the upgrading of packaging machinery, so the American food packaging machinery required for innovation speed is always in the first place.
3, new technology applications: packaging automation program has been widely used, to cater to the consumer, the information labeling system is widely used in packaging world trend.
Because of government requirements packaging with nutrition ingredients, instructions, product code, so the labeling system toward a multifunctional information development.
American scientists developed a new kind of integrated circuit tester, it can measure the metamorphic time of a certain food or a drink.
The new food quality detection device, made up of sensors and scanner, the energy from radio waves from the scanner, the main material of sensor is lead.
When packaged food puts it together inside the container.
Testing, testing personnel need to aim the scanner food launch radio waves, scanner signal from the radio waves of food causes vibration, issued a score of the wave at the same time, the score of the first wave reflection to container box wall and the conduction to the sensor, after calibration by using standard database vibration, vibration transmission time and the score of conduction velocity, instantaneous can determine the time of the detection of food spoilage, the detection result is quite accurate.
4, diversification, multi-purpose development: granular packing machine industry is to cater to the consumer demand change and change rapidly, producing tend to diversification.
In the food industry, for example, americans today due to the consumer demand for food have many specifications, diversification, characteristic direction, so the food processing industry will cost to develop more flexible and motor function of the packaging line.
Before a few years to develop a new packaging products usually need to 2 -
3 years, now just half a year can make new products.
This fully shows that the packaging world in the development of new varieties, new products, speed, time is short.
Above is our some views about the food machinery industry development, for domestic particle packing factory house, the only fully learn from foreign experience of related companies, in order to achieve long-term progress in their own development, if you want to know more information about particle packing factory house, the company to understand!

The Teleshot silent shotgun shell was developed by Military Technologies for use by special operations groups. The Imperial Navy Special Action Group (SAG) balked at the high cost of the ammunition and its 'low tech' design, prefering their modified gauss weapons. Miltech had already invested vast sums in tooling and production based on early Imperial interest. When that interest waned, Miltech sought out other intes\rested parties, and found a bilk buyer they required to pay back their investment. the main purchaser, the Solomani Security Directorate, was quick to see the potential in this ammunition, and now most production of is earmarked for SolSec.
The ammunition utilizes an internal, steel balloon to capture propellant gases, thus eliminating almost all sound and flash, while retaining all the deadlier aspects of the shotgun. Teleshot can be fired from any conventional 18.5mm shotgun, but will not cycle the action of gas operated weapons.
