Changing a car’s oil is an easy and standard task that anyone can complete. Nonetheless, some car owners can still make mistakes by overfilling their cars with motor oil. Adding too much or little oil can cause potential problems to a vehicle. Moreover, it can be challenging to know how much motor oil fits perfectly in an engine. How much oil is too much oil in a car?
Every vehicle engine comes with different designs. So, knowing the right level to fill your engine with oil is mostly the problem. For example, many engine dipsticks offer car owners different acceptable motor oil levels. Many people find it challenging to hit it right when adding the right amount of oil to their cars.
How to Read Oil Measurements
We have different ways to read oil levels in our cars. The excellent part of solving the problem is that your vehicle has signals that would point to excess oil.
Dipstick Measurement: The oil dipstick is the most accessible means of checking how much oil you add to a car. To read this measurement, you have to open the hood and unscrew the dipstick cap. Pull out the dipstick and read the oil mark. Each car comes with its maximum and minimum oil level. With this measure, you can learn if you have made a mistake.
Oil Pressure Gauge Indication: Most cars come with oil pressure lights. When the vehicle suffers an oil lack or overflow, it illuminates on the dashboard. Some cars have gauge indicators that display the exact oil measurement at every given time. As a result, if you notice that the gauge indicator is on the high side, you need the help of a mechanic to fix the issue for you. Sometimes, the problem may not be overfilled, but something different. However, if you recently changed your car oil, that would cause the warning light.
Warning Signs of Excess Oil
The car’s oil pan can only contain a specific volume of fluid, which helps with the pressure of oil and heat expansion on components. However, if you overfill your oil pan with fluid, it will suffer many things. These include:
Dense White Smoke
When you notice your car produces dense white smoke, you should check your engine. The smoke may be due to excess oil burning around the engine block, and meanwhile, antifreeze could cause a problem.
If you have an overflow, a standard indicator is oil leakage. In addition, before you conclude the cause of the leaking oil, check for a loose oil plug. You can do this when you look underneath your car for such leakage. A car engine consists of numerous moving parts sealed with bolts and gaskets. Ensure that you check the engine thoroughly if the oil plug is intact. If your engine experiences increased pressure, it could cause force the gaskets to burst or leak.
The oil in the engine moves through the fill tube before reaching the oil pan or reservoir. An oil overflow leaves the pan vulnerable and lets the oil touch different moving parts in the engine. While oil is essential for lubricating most engine parts, the crankshaft should stay clear of oil. When oil reaches the crankshaft, it will churn up as frothy oil. As a result, this oil causes the opposite of lubrication due to an aeration mechanism. The frothy oil loses effectiveness and lubricity.
Too Much Pressure
Since most of the moving parts of an engine are sealed, oil can cause damage or interfere with the engine’s functionality. As a result, the engine pressure is increased and cause detrimental problem to your car.
Spark Plug Problem
A spark plug can have a problem due to fouling and aging. Fouling is caused by excess oil or fuel that is not burnt entirely by the engine. Oil leakage that is not rectified over time can cause problems to your spark plug. In addition, the plug may cause the car to have issues with starting, engine misfiring, or stopping the vehicle.
Catalytic Converter Problem
The role of the catalytic converter is essential in a car, and it helps filter contaminants that come out of your exhaust. The vehicle may not function properly when the catalytic converter becomes clogged up by oil. The check engine light would start showing as an indicator of a problem.
Pressure/Friction on Car’s Crankshaft
The work of the crankshaft head and tail is to prevent oil leakage. However, if you overfill oil in the pan, there is extra pressure on the crankshaft. Hence, the clutch can get damaged. Additionally, the crane and crankshaft suffer intense friction and resistance, and the outcome is detrimental to the components.
Excess oil can cause improper optimization of your engine parts. Too much lubrication of the moving parts cause increased wear and damage. Extra oil can block the suction hose of the exhaust pipe with oil soot. As a result, it would cause the engine to overload. Overheating can happen and damage components if you don’t act fast. In a worse scenario, overheating can melt some parts of the engine and change your engine.
What to Do When You Overfill Oil?
If you find out early that you have an oil overflow, the solution is simple. First, you should check the oil level with a dipstick and warm the engine. Second, park the car on any flat surface, turn off the car and use a dipstick to read your oil level. Furthermore, when you notice oil overflow, you should locate the drain plug and drain excess oil to avoid damage.
You can drain excess oil in the following methods:
- The first method is simple and less challenging. Get an oil suction pump to help you drain the oil from the cap access point or dipstick tube. You are not expected to raise the car when draining oil through this method.
- The traditional method is messy and complicated. You would need a plastic oil pan and a drive socket wrench. First, the car has to be raised to a certain height. You should crawl underneath your car and find the drain plug. Position your plastic oil pan under the plug before you loosen it. The process should be gradual until the excess is eliminated. Second, check the oil level with the dipstick.
The fix can become serious if it has affected some engine parts. If you notice some of the listed signs above, you should hire a mechanic for professional support. Meanwhile, you must not drive the car to the mechanic. If you drive a vehicle with excess oil, it will suffer more damage.
Frequently Asked Questions: How Much Oil is Too Much Oil in a Car?
1. What is the amount of oil to fill in a car?
Cars come with different engines that require a certain amount of oil to function well. Most cars can use at least 3 to 8 quarts of motor oil; however, the engine’s size determines the amount of oil to add.
For instance, if you own a 4-cylinder unit, you need to add at least 3 quarts of oil. Meanwhile, cars with 6-cylinder units can consume at least 6 quarts of oil. A car’s manual can help you learn more about the oil capacity in your engine. When adding oil to your vehicle, you should be cautious about maintaining the perfect gauge.
2. What are the correct oil measurements for cars?
Since cars come with different engines, you should check the size of your engine before adding oil. In general, cars come with the following oil gauge measurements:
- 4-cylinder engine: At least 4.5 litres
- 6-cylinder engine: At least 5.5 litres
- 8-cylinder engine: Requires at least 4.5 to 7.5 litres
Even though oil change is a mundane task you can perform within a few minutes, making a mistake is common. Oil leakage, dense white smoke, increased engine pressure, or frothing are signs of oil overflow. The symptoms can lead to loss of lubricity in your engine. If corrected early, you can save yourself money and time repairing a damaged engine.

This study describes the pain characteristics of the chronic migraine, including duration, intensity, quality, aggravation by activity, associated features in a headache clinic. One hundred twenty-one chronic migraine patients were evaluated. A total of 79% patients were female, and the mean age was 43.6 years, ranging from 19.0 to 54.2 years. The pain characteristics were predominantly unilateral; either side attacks (43.8%), strictly left-side (19%), or right side (19%). Headache character was reported as throbbing (67%), aching (14%), stabbing (10%), and pressure (9%). Of the associated autonomic features, lacrimation was the most common. Photophobia (83.5%) and phonophobia (72.7%) often were noted. When compared, only previous headache diagnosis, headache character and onset of headache were found to be statistically different between female and male patients (P < 0.05).

Lisa Gardner’s Touch & Go is somewhat engaging, puzzling and essentially a good fit for a weekend read or a plane trip.
The very wealthy Denbe famly – Justin, wife Libby and 15 year old daughter Ashlyn – are kidnapped. The FBI, local law enforcement and private investigator Tessa Leoni race against time to find them. There’s a ransom demand and lots of family secrets. And violence.
I typically enjoy mysteries written with female protagonists – and perhaps that’s part of the problem because Tessa Leoni is just one of the protagonists and I felt very in the dark because of the multiple references to her appearance in a previous novel (I cheated and looked it up online because it was gnawing at me.) That’s not good series writing – Anne Perry, Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky do it so well that I suppose I’m spoiled.
I was engaged enough to be curious as I turned the pages waiting for the big plot reveal – why were they kidnapped and who was behind it? And I was disappointed. I felt like multiple twists and turns were tossed into the mix with too many characters for me to feel invested in really any of them. It wasn’t a terrible ending, just not quite the intense payoff you hope for as you read.
The major disappointment was the lack of character development – too many characters on the canvas, too many stereotypes (especially the women) and an ongoing meme that women need emotional connections from men to feel whole.
This is a good read if you need a mildly engaging book to occupy your time. I wish I could say more. But … you can say more by joining the discussion on Blogher. I’ll be joining the discussion all month.

A Tiki torch manufacturer is denouncing white supremacists who used its products in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, TIKI Brand Products said it was “deeply saddened and disappointed” that members of hate groups ― some performing Nazi salutes ― had marched through the University of Virginia campus on Friday night while carrying lit Tiki torches.
“We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way,” the company wrote on Saturday, the day a driver killed a 32-year-old woman and injured dozens of others protesting the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.
Facebook users applauded TIKI Brand Products for its message. Some noted that the company was taking a clearer stance against white supremacy than President Donald Trump, who said “many sides” were guilty of “hatred, bigotry, and violence” in Charlottesville.

Speech-Language Pathologist Used Furlough to Launch Wellness Startup
When Alison Weinlaeder was furloughed in March from her job as a speech-language pathologist at United Hospital’s Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, she sought a way to fill her time, distract her mind, and help people, like many of her former patients, who want to improve their cognitive functions.
So, in early April, she launched Cardiomelon, an online fitness subscription program that pairs cognitive tasks with physical exercises—like marching in place while spelling your last name backwards, or combining math and lunges. Led by personal trainers from around St. Paul, the platform’s 20- to 30-minute classes are designed specifically for those who want to fight the effects of aging on their minds and bodies.
“More and more research points to the vital aspect of cardiovascular fitness in reducing the risk of age-related brain changes and dementia,” Weinlaeder says. “Furthermore, some studies have found that if you combine brain and body exercises, you have the potential to improve the brain’s function more than by sitting and doing brain exercises alone.”
Even though Weinlaeder is now back to work at the hospital, she continues to work on Cardiomelon and says it’s a great distraction from all that’s going on in the world. “It gives me something positive to channel my thoughts and energy toward rather than worrying about things in the world I cannot control right now,” she says.
Cardiomelon is currently on track to meet its target of 100 subscribers in its first 90 days.
TCB: How has your work life changed or been disrupted by coronavirus?
Weinlaeder | Before coronavirus, I worked full time as an outpatient speech-language pathologist at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute at United Hospital. When it became clear that the coronavirus could put our clinic’s patients (people with stroke, brain injury, cancer, degenerative disease, and other high-risk health conditions) at risk, the clinic closed. Initially I was placed in alternative support roles within the hospital and then eventually furloughed. Thankfully, the furlough was very short-lived as I was able to take on a role providing acute hospital care with the speech rehab team while the outpatient clinic remains closed. During my furlough, I used all my time and energy to finalize my website and launch Cardiomelon. I’m thankful to be working, but I may be furloughed on a short-term or long-term basis again in the future.
We have gotten some encouraging news about Medicare laws changing and private insurers adapting policies to allow speech therapists to provide and bill for their services through telemedicine. Before coronavirus, we would not have been able to treat patients remotely and bill for our services. With these billing changes, there is hope that I will be able to keep working in my role through a digital platform even if our outpatient clinic remains physically closed to the public.
Q. How did the idea for Cardiomelon come about?
A | I was trying to find a way to help older adults feel more in control of the aging process on their minds and bodies. I have had many patients sit in my office and ask me what app they should purchase or what website they should sign up for to get “brain exercise.” I found myself saying over and over again, if you aren’t doing something physical in addition to online or other brain activities, you are missing out on a vital part of what helps the brain stay healthy as you age: movement. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to make a fitness program that combines brain and body exercise?”
I wanted to create a service that was easy-to-use, very affordable, and time efficient so that there would be as few barriers as possible to helping adults over 50 access a workout that is stimulating for the mind and also very healthy for the body.
Q. Why did you decide to start Cardiomelon now given everything that’s going on?
A | I love helping others. I have so much empathy for older adults who may be afraid to go outside and exercise because of the fear of getting sick right now. Also, I hate the idea of people missing out on important brain-stimulating activities like card groups, book clubs, spiritual services, family gatherings, etc. that help our brains fight off age-related change and dementia as we age. I felt it was a vital time to reach out and offer a low-cost service to support brain and body health because social isolation and physical inactivity can be disastrous for our mental, cognitive, and physical health.
Q. How do you manage both your hospital job and Cardiomelon?
A | Since I went back to work, I’m finding it’s exhausting to work eight hours a day in a high-stress hospital environment and then come home, care for my family and put my kids (ages two and four) to bed, and then work from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. nightly on Cardiomelon. However, as much as it is so tiring, it gives me something positive to channel my thoughts and energy toward rather than worrying about things in the world I cannot control right now. I really love helping others, and my job has changed at the hospital so that I don’t have the same connection like I used to with my outpatients. It brings me a lot of joy when a Cardiomelon subscriber sends me a message saying the service is helping them in some way to feel stronger or healthier.
Q. Any bright spots in this crisis you can share?
A | I’ve learned about the amazing support there is in the Twin Cities for people who want to start a business. I have a mentor through the University of St. Thomas Small Business Development Center as well as a SCORE mentor who have been so helpful and encouraging. I feel very fortunate to live here and benefit from the knowledge of these experienced entrepreneurs.
Q. Do you have any advice for others who have been furloughed or lost jobs?
A | I found a lot of peace during my furlough by channeling my energy into something I feel passionate about, and I continue to find it helpful to avoid dwelling on fears about the future. I have also tried to make physical activity a must-do each day on furlough and when I’m at the hospital, even if it’s as short as 10-15 minutes, to take care of my mental and physical health during these uncertain times.
Q. Do you have any advice for staying motivated and productive at home?
A | The speech pathologist in me says, “Make a to-do list at the start of the day and check it off as you go.” It’s very satisfying to check off the tasks (even if they are as small as “drink coffee”), but it also helped keep me on track during the day. I also made myself get up and go for a walk in the middle of each day to give my brain and body a break. Even if I was feeling tired, it always made me feel better and helped me get my creative juices flowing again to finish up the afternoon.

Downstream preparation and local ancillary needed for Malaysia’s expanding automotive and electronic vehicle ecosystem
Amid significant injections into the Malaysian Automotive market, the helping hand of collaborative robots can help sub-sector players deal with newly accelerated peaks in manufacturing
By Marvin Ming, Country Manager Malaysia, Universal Robots
Malaysia has taken a major leap forward in its quest in becoming the region’s automotive and EV hub, with industry leaders Tesla choosing the nation to be its regional headquarters. This deal comes amid an injection of Electric Vehicle (EV) related investments stemming from 2018, with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) approving 58 EV investment projects totaling RM 26.2 billion.
Currently, the country has nearly 1,000 EV charging stations and plans to build a further 10,000 across the country by 2025, with this investment aimed at covering vehicle assembly along with the manufacturing of EV parts and charging components.
Malaysia does seem to be shaping into the region’s automotive hub and EV hub, but is the nation ready for the increased demands this entails? It is paramount that sub-sector players in Malaysia have to make downstream preparation for the strain on the industry this impending transformation is going to bring about.
Becoming the Region’s Automotive Hub
According to reports, the Asia-Pacific EV market was valued at US$230 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach US$778 billion come 2027. The recent Tesla announcement is not the only factor in the sector’s increased value, as three major Chinese automotive players – BYD, Great Wall Motor, and Cherry, have also launched in Malaysia this year. Additionally, Malaysia is also home to other international automotive companies and assembly plants, with the likes of Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz all manufacturing within the country.
Equipped with the existing expertise in manufacturing, Malaysia’s components sub sector could potentially be used to double up in servicing the projected automotive exploits, covering a vast array of semiconductors, sensors, automotive electronics, transceivers, batteries, and vehicle assembly. Players in the field have the blueprint for transforming Malaysia into an automotive hub to be reckoned with within the region.
Despite this, the ambitions in making the country the region’s automotive hub will still expose issues within its manufacturing industry due to increased demand and stalling efficiency.
Automation and Alleviating Manufacturing Issues Caused by Increased Demand
The implementation of automation on manufacturing floors throughout the nation can aid in solving various issues faced in the increased manufacturing of automotives. As some of the assembly process requires the introduction of specific automation technologies to ensure product standards, collaborative robots (cobots) offer the solution for manufacturers.
Production criteria includes quality and repeatability, ergonomics, operating precision, as well as quality. Collaborative applications help address these operational issues, improving the series of production tasks previously performed manually. Cobots can help guarantee the quality requirements as well as free operators from repetitive and physically demanding manual tasks. The marvel of man-machine collaboration is that it allows workers to be stationed at processes that are of greater value and require the human touch.
As an example outside of Malaysia, the iconic Fiat 500 has also jumped onto the EV bandwagon, with the Italian brand now offering an electric variant of the car. This shift meant that the car’s production line required the introduction of said specific automation technologies to meet product standards. This, along with the staff’s high average age, prompted them to adopt 11 cobots from Universal Robots at the factory to aid with production.
The cobots helped with tasks which include the application of waterproof liner to vehicle doors, checking on soft-top dimensions, hood mounting, and tightening of rear-side door hinges, among others. The collaborative applications adopted by the factory have delivered significant benefits in terms of operating precision and quality, and improved the ergonomics of a series of operations previously performed manually.
In the changing landscape of automotive and EV in Malaysia, demands are bound to skyrocket which in turn puts added pressure on workers at manufacturing plants. The adoption of cobots not only helps with coping with these demands, but also improves the quality of life for workers down on the manufacturing floor – ensuring a smooth-running system that will aid ushering in the era of Malaysia becoming the hub of the region.
Keeping Up with Automation and Ensuring Growth in Manufacturing
As Malaysia grows into becoming the region’s automotive hub, automation will be key to growth within the industry. With the automotive manufacturing industry being one of the country’s strengths, it is important to strengthen the grip instead of being complacent and falling behind others who might want a slice of the pie.
Malaysia’s robot density in the manufacturing sector was behind the global average in 2019, and has been lagging behind regional counterparts such as Singapore. For comparison, Thailand gained 37% in their population of robotics in 2021, and the continued upward trajectory will further improve multiple sectors, most importantly in the automotive manufacturing one – spelling a threat to Malaysia’s automotive manufacturing bid.
Overall, the adoption of automation will help with productiveness, and profitability due to its effectiveness and efficiency. It will further improve the industry and make it more appealing for investors, which in turn will ensure further growth for the sector. In becoming the automotive and EV hub of the region, Malaysia can look towards automation as the tool to cope with demands and cement themselves as industry leaders.


Stockton man dies after being pulled from burning house
Firefighters: Cluttered house made rescue efforts difficult
The Stockton Fire Department said one man died, along with four pets, after fire crews pulled the man from a burning house Monday afternoon.
Fire officials said a home on Burns Way caught fire around 2:30 p.m., and when crews arrived, they were told that someone was inside.
Firefighters said they searched the home and pulled a man in his 50s out from a back bedroom.
The man suffered smoke inhalation and burns and was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
Firefighters said two dogs and two cats also died.
The Stockton Fire Department said there was a lot of stuff in the home, which made it difficult for firefighters to get through and rescue the man. Neighbors told them it was kind of a hoarder house.


Nvidia and Foxconn are collaborating on “AI factories,” an effort to speed up AI improvement and adoption.
Nvidia is without doubt one of the main corporations within the AI revolution, with its chips used to energy a variety of AI purposes and developments. In the meantime, Foxconn is without doubt one of the main producers for numerous laptop and smartphone makers.
Based on TechCrunch, the 2 corporations are working collectively to speed up autonomous automobiles and machines, in addition to industrial robots. The “AI factories” the 2 corporations plan to construct will probably be superior supercomputing information facilities used to assist develop and enhance AI.
“We’re constructing this complete end-to-end system the place on the one hand, you’re constructing this superior EV automotive…with an AI mind inside that enables it to work together with drivers and work together with passengers, in addition to autonomously drive, complemented by an AI manufacturing facility that develops a software program for this automotive,” stated Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at a joint occasion. “This automotive will undergo life expertise and gather extra information. The info will go to the AI manufacturing facility, the place the AI manufacturing facility will enhance the software program and replace your entire AI fleet.”
“It is a manufacturing facility that takes information enter and produces intelligence as an output,” stated Huang, as Foxconn CEO Younger Liu nodded in settlement. “Sooner or later, each trade, each firm may have an AI manufacturing facility.”

Every dog parent knows that their pups are not humans, but there are times when we feel like they could be a little too much like humans in the way they act. Dogs can understand and, at times, imitate the way we speak. They also imitate our actions and want to eat whatever we eat.
But one of the hilarious ways that dogs imitate us is in the way we sit. One pup even went viral on Twitter for sitting weirdly. This pup even started a Twitter thread!
A Twitter user named @ohmyitsbrittt started the funny thread by posting a photo of her pup, Mr. Sparks. Mr. Sparks likes sitting with his hind legs stretched in front of him. It was as if he was sitting the ways humans would.
The photo of Mr. Sparks gained 1.2 million likes in no time! Twitter users loved the tweet so much that they start adding their own funny captions to the picture. A Twitter user who shared her caption for the photo joked that Mr. Sparks was clearly getting ready to join the parallel bars in the Olympics.
Thanks to the funny way Mr. Sparks sat, many had a good long laugh. And Mr. Sparks also got the opportunity to be featured in a commercial for PetSmart. The pup also opened his first Instagram account, make sure to check it out!
The pup became famous in an instant thanks to his weird way of sitting. But Mr. Sparks is not the only pup who sits this way. Many Twitter users shared photos of their pups sitting in a similar way.
It turns out that many fur parents have noticed their pups sitting like humans in silence. Fur parents now realize that sitting in a certain funny position is not so uncommon for pups. Maybe our pups even find that way of sitting more comfortably. But whether they sit like humans or dogs, they are still adorable no matter what.

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, often referred to as Fowler's Modern English Usage or simply as Fowler's or Fowler, is a style guide to British English usage, written by Henry W. Fowler, and first published in 1926. Modern English Usage covers in detail many issues of usage, pronunciation, and style, from plurals and literary techniques to distinctions between similar words and the usage of foreign terms. The guide set the standard for all usage books to follow, and as such its first edition remains in print even though more recent editions exist.
Fowler's general approach was to encourage a direct and vigorous style of writing in English and to oppose every kind of artificiality. For example, he advised firmly against the unnecessary use of convoluted sentence constructions, foreign words and phrases, and archaicisms. He also opposed every kind of pedantry, and notably ridiculed artificial grammatical rules that had no warrant in natural English usage, such as bans on split infinitives
or on ending a sentence with a preposition
, rules on the placement of the word "only", and distinctions between "which" and "that". He fiercely condemned every kind of cliché
, coining or popularizing such terms as "battered ornament", "Wardour Street", "vogue words" and "worn-out humour" to classify them. At the same time he defended useful distinctions, for example between words whose meanings were tending to coalesce, and guided users away from errors such as misuses of words or illogical sentence constructions. Like most practical guides to style and usage, therefore, his approach to linguistics
was a mixture of the prescriptive
and the descriptive, so that extremists of either camp tend to place him in the other.
The first edition went through several reprints. A reprint whose copyright page mentions "1954" as the most recent reprint notes that reprints in 1930 and 1937 were "with corrections ..." The second edition, published in 1965, involved a light revision by Sir Ernest Gowers
. Gowers updated and contributed to the existing text, while removing articles "no longer relevant to [current] literary fashions." Robert Burchfield
edited the third edition. Its preface explains that while "Fowler's name remains on the title-page, ... his book has been largely rewritten." Whereas the first edition was a style guide, i.e. an opinionated view on how to write clearly and expressively, the third edition is a guide to usage, describing how English is spoken and written in practice. This difference in aim perhaps explains why the third edition is so often disliked by admirers of the first.

- Burchfield, Robert William (1996). The New Fowler's Modern English Usage. 3rd edition, Oxford University Press.
The book is renowned for its witty passages, many of which have been widely cited:
Didacticism : The speaker who has discovered that Juan and Quixote are not pronounced in Spain as he used to pronounce them as a boy is not content to keep so important a piece of information to himself; he must have the rest of us call them Hwan and Keehotay; at any rate he will give us the chance of mending our ignorant ways by doing so. French Words : Display of superior knowledge is as great a vulgarity as display of superior wealth — greater indeed, inasmuch as knowledge should tend more definitely than wealth towards discretion and good manners. Inversion : Writers who observe the poignancy sometimes given by inversion, but fail to observe that 'sometimes' means 'when exclamation is appropriate', adopt inversion as an infallible enlivener; they aim at freshness and attain frigidity. Split Infinitive : The English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; and (5) those who know and distinguish. Terribly : It is strange that a people with such a fondness for understatement as the British should have felt the need to keep changing the adverbs by which they hope to convince listeners of the intensity of their feelings.
- Dedication (to F. G. Fowler)

Disney star Jason Earles and his lovely daughter Noah Earles; Know about Noah Earles’ mother
The relationship between parents and their children shape the family values. The upbringing of the children shapes their personality and attitudes. But, what happens if the parents are divorced? What happens to the relationship between the child and the parents?
Jason Earles and his daughter Noah Earles have also parted their ways after his and Jennifer Earles divorce. What is the current relationship status of the father and the daughter? Are they close?
Or, have they become strangers? Get the real news about the relationship status between the Disney star Jason Earls and his lovely daughter Noah Earles.
Jason and Noah Earles: Father and daughter relationship
After the divorce of Jason and Jennifer, daughter Noah is in custody of her mother. At the beginning of their divorce, the relation between daughter Noah and Jason was good enough. But over time, the distance between them has made their relationship much weaker than it used to be.
New to the divorce, both father and daughter were still intact with each other. They had a good relationship as they have been sighted together. They used to meet sometimes and post their photos on social media.
However, in the present context, the actor does not seem to be close to her daughter Noah. Because he doesn’t post any picture and status related to her daughter on social media. Even if it is very difficult to find Noah in the Social network.
It shows that nowadays they are not so much closer to each other. Reason for their distant relationship may be because of Jason’s new wife, Katie Drysen but we are still unsure about it. Jason has recently married his long-time girlfriend Katie Drysen in 2017.
Noah Earles’ Mother
Noah, daughter of Jason was born from his first wife Jennifer Earles’. She was known to media only because of her ex-husband, Jason Earles’. After the divorce with Jason, who played the role of Miley Cyrus’s brother in Hanna Montana, Noah is in custody of Jennifer and has taken her responsibility. And it seems that she is very close to her mother.
As she is a common people she always used to stay away from the media. And her account on the social networking site is also private. So, we don’t have much more information about her. After the divorce, there is no news about Jennifer as she doesn’t like to come in front of media.
Until now the relationship between Noah and Jason is still unknown to their fans but hope their relationship gets better and better by the day.

Toronto is the setting of
The Historical TorontoEdit
Historically, Toronto was twice for brief periods the capital of the united Province of Canada first from 1849–1852, following unrest in Montreal, and later 1856–1858 after which Quebec became capital until 1866 (one year before Confederation); since then, the capital of Canada has remained Ottawa. As it had been for Upper Canada from 1793, Toronto became the capital of the province of Ontario after its official creation in 1867, the seat of government located at the Ontario Legislature located at Queen's Park. Because of its provincial capital status, the city was also the location of Government House, the residence of the vice-regal representative of the Crown.
In the 19th century, an extensive sewage system was built, and streets became illuminated with gas lighting as a regular service. Long-distance railway lines were constructed, including a route completed in 1854 linking Toronto with the Upper Great Lakes. The Grand Trunk Railway and the Northern Railway of Canada joined in the building of the first Union Station in downtown. The advent of the railway dramatically increased the numbers of immigrants arriving, commerce and industry, as had the Lake Ontario steamers and schooners entering port before which enabled Toronto to become a major gateway linking the world to the interior of the North American continent.
Toronto became the largest alcohol distillation (in particular spirits) centre in North America, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery operations became the world's largest whiskey factory by the 1860s. A preserved section of this once dominant local industry remains in the Distillery District, the harbour allowed for sure access of grain and sugar imports used in processing. Expanding port and rail facilities brought in Northern Timber for export and imported Pennsylvania coal, industry dominated the waterfront for the next 100 years.
Horse-drawn streetcars gave way to electric streetcars in 1891, when the city granted the operation of the transit franchise to the Toronto Railway Company. The public transit system passed into public ownership in 1921 as the Toronto Transportation Commission, later renamed the Toronto Transit Commission. The system now has the third-highest ridership of any city public transportation system in North America.
The Great Toronto Fire of 1904 destroyed a large section of downtown Toronto, but the city was quickly rebuilt. The fire had cost more than $10 million in damage, led to more stringent fire safety laws, and the expansion of the city's fire department.
The city received new immigrant groups beginning in the late 19th century into early 20th century, particularly Germans, French, Italians, and Jews from various parts of Eastern Europe. They were soon followed by Chinese, Russians, Poles and immigrants from other Eastern European nations, as the Irish before them, many of these new migrants lived in overcrowded shanty type slums, such as "the Ward" which was centred on Bay Street, now the heart of the country's finances. Despite its fast paced growth, by the 1920s, Toronto's population and economic importance in Canada remained second to the much longer established Montreal. However, by 1934, the Toronto Stock Exchange had become the largest in the country.

Metals are extremely abundant, comprising almost three quarters of all naturally-occurring compounds on earth. Metals that are extracted from the earth tend to also be combined with one another to form alloys. These alloys, like carbon and stainless steels, are widely used as construction materials so accurate assessment of their composition is vital. On the flip side, trace metal detection is important to our environment and food and water supply which makes it imperative to assess quality and prevent potential hazards to human and animal health. This sheer diversity of applications has naturally given rise to a range of metal analysis techniques.
Although some solid metal analysis methods exist, solution-based approaches form the primary means of alloy composition and trace metal analysis. The ColdBlockTM digestion technique has emerged as a leading system for accurate, efficient, and safe decomposition of simple and complex matrices for metal speciation.
Here we will discuss a few proven methods to demonstrate the applicability of ColdBlockTM digesters to certain alloy types.
316L Stainless Steel
A low carbon stainless grade with added molybdenum for greater anti-corrosivity, type 316L stainless steel is an extremely popular engineering-grade alloy. We have demonstrated effective digestion of 316L steel chips for metal analysis, using aqua regia. Digesting the samples for only 15 minutes yields excellent recovery of elements with high reproducibility.
Aluminium alloys under the 2024 grade are often deployed in the aerospace industry due to its high strength-to-weight characteristics. This is partially a result of carefully balanced alloying chemistry, with a primary alloying component of copper.
We have developed an ideal digestion method for A92024 metal analysis, once again using a standard aqua regia solution. Chemists can expect excellent reproducibility with values meting certified concentrations.
Grade 431 stainless steels feature excellent mechanical properties with good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of intricate components in harsh environments (i.e. marine engineering). They feature high chromium contents and low nickel, with additional trace-level alloying elements.
A similar method to the A92024 metal analysis technique can be used for reproducible digestion of UNS S43100 samples. The same sample—solvent concentration is used, with for a similar digestion time of 20 minutes.
Interested in more metal analysis methods?
This is a brief selection of digestion methods for specific alloys prior to elemental analysis. These procedures are specific to the samples digested and may need modification for different sample types or sizes to yield the same quality of results.

A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before.
I consider myself, similar to countless other diasporans, to be a global nomad. I have more than one home due to various reasons—forced displacement, being born and raised and having lived in different countries—all combinations of necessity and chance, complete with an ingrained passion for travel and discovery. It may sound confusing and unsteady, but which journey is not?
From a young age, likely due to moving around and growing up in multi-ethnic environments, an unquenchable thirst for always wanting to go to new places settled in me—to learn new things, meet new people, and absorb different cultures. I often catch myself daydreaming of where I can go next… A small silver sailboat floats on my neck as a pendant, embodying this restlessness. And there is something inherently restless about any given diaspora. People (such as migrants), information (media), commodities (food, souvenirs), culture (music), and money (remittances) circulating globally along transnational networks give shape and momentum to diasporas. As such, at the core of diasporic dispersion is movement/motion charted and mapped out in various ways for individuals belonging to different cultural and racial groups.
For African Americans, the image of the ship is the metaphor in reference to movement brought on by the slave trade, discussed by historian Paul Gilroy’s seminal work The Black Atlantic. Inescapably, slavery as an instance of traumatic departure from home has had a profound impact on identity formation and culture throughout the Black diaspora. In light of this brutal movement, Gilroy points to the importance of looking beyond roots and falling into the trap of ethnic absolutism, and instead seeing “identity as a process of movement and mediation that is more appropriately approached via the homonym routes.”
Indeed, my roots are Armenian, but my immediate attachments and my day-to-day reality are in Montréal, inter-dispersed with countless routes, with many more waiting to be embarked on. One of the many routes I take leads me to the port city of Marseille. I adore Marseille, due to its multi-ethnic makeup, its raw Mediterranean charm, and also because as a self-proclaimed global nomad, I am drawn to its real nomadic population. The Tsiganes (Gypsies in French) or the Roma, who fell victim during the Holocaust, continue to face a cruel plight, as stigma and marginalization are daily realities. In Marseille, they fill the cool night air with their voice, guitars, and dance. Like them, I do not have a fixed home. This idea was once a source of anxiety. Now, however, settling down in one place almost sounds foreign and impossible due to a multitude of routes that exist.
Along these routes, I’ve come upon many other Armenian youth whether from Paris, Yerevan, New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, Boston, Beirut, or Dubai. Within this fragmented world we live in, I’ve manage to find a comforting consistency, which I call a sense of “dispersed continuity.” As Armenian youth, we share much common ground, but how we differ has always intrigued me. This shared affinity between Armenians throughout the world is simultaneously marked by our different accents, backgrounds, and social conditioning, at time heavily influenced by the respective countries we live in.
From Montréal, one Armenian diasporic strong hold, to Marseille, another important diasporic city, where many Armenian refugees escaping the genocide once sought asylum, I find I can feel at home there. Armenians often carry common cultural baggage, and share the same cultural knowledge and concern for the diaspora, and especially for Armenia. We also have a similar history in common, with the genocide as one of the central destabilizing elements; yet the living conditions, diverse day-to-day realities, and external societal influences differ. This nuance is crucial, because it positions an Armenian living in Marseilles, in Montréal, and in Miami to be “both the same and different,” to cite cultural theorist Stuart Hall.
This haphazard dispersion of beads around the world is bound by an invisible string and roots. What enriches our diasporic experiences are the routes we have all embarked on unconsciously or consciously.
I am not ready to cast my anchor just yet.

During this season of cancer relays and fundraising, why not make headcovers your personal or group project?
Get inspired by the plentiful array of patterns now available, from commercial catalogs or self-published lines. Then finish one or two during your favorite TV show.
Nancy Zieman adds eye protection, dimension and style with this visor-trimmed bandanna variation from her headcover pattern, Hats for Any Reasonor Season. The fast-to-make fabric flower and padded crown stylize the traditional babushka look.
Well-known headcover designer Helen Littrell has released two new patterns: the Day n Night, a fifteen-minutes-in-the-making cap, and Wrap n Twist, a sophisticated hat secured with a twisted tie. Helens clever use of darts and drawstrings diversifies fabric choices to include wovens, as well as knits.
Helens The Day n Night, shown here, is both attractive and comfortable, particularly when sewn in soft cotton flannel. She designed the hat as the ultimate in sewing simplicity, fitted entirely with a drawstring at the nape of the neck .
Even quilt-weight cottons can be ingeniously contoured into chic hats, as shown in Wrap n Twist, one of the new designs by Helen Littrell . The stitched-on ties are wrapped and twisted in place, as the name implies.

How To Sew A Chemo Cap Free Sewing Pattern

Learn How to Sew a Soft Knit Chemo Cap With This Free Sewing Pattern With Children, Teens, and Adults Sizes. Step-By-Step Photo Tutorial and Video.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I wanted to share this chemo cap sewing tutorial and free pattern.
This is a sponsored post on behalf of JOANN. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This chemo cap is made of a soft knit fabric for sensitive scalps. Its comfy enough to sleep in while also being cute enough to wear out and about!
This hat can be used for cancer and chemotherapy patients, those with medical hair loss, or even alopecia.
It can even be worn just to keep your head warm in the winter!
This cap works best with a soft 4-way stretch knit fabric. Joann has a great variety of 4-way stretch knit fabrics. You’ll want to look for a knit fabric that has at least 5-10% spandex. The spandex is what helps the fabric to keep its shape without getting stretched out.
This pattern features six different sizes for babies, toddlers, children, teens, adults and large adults.
Construct Main Part Of Hat
Cut one A and one B from fabric #1. Cut one A and one B from fabric #2. Transfer pattern dots to wrong side of fabric.
Lay one B right side up. Lay one A over B, wrong side up, aligning centers. Pin at center. In the photo, the center pin is enhanced in red.
Working along one side, continue to pin A to B, stopping at #1 dot. The photo shows the first side pinned.
Pin the other side, stopping at #2 dot. Stitch between dots.
Repeat these instructions for the second set of A and B.
Place one hat inside the other, right sides together. Pin. Stitch from dot #1 to dot #2. The photo shows the layers pinned together.
Turn hat right side out. Iron under bottom open edge 1/4″. Slide a tie into each end about 1/2v pin. Topstitch around outer edge of hat, stitching around entire hat.

Print And Assemble Chemo Cap Pattern
You can print off the pattern on cardstock so that it will last for multiples uses.
Immediately check the 1 x 1 square to ensure the pattern has printed off correctly. If the 1″ square measures larger or smaller the pattern will need to be reprinted for accuracy.
Align stars of each page and tape in place. Then, cut out the pattern in your desired size.
Add Elastic Instead Of Ties
To create the version of the cap with elastic instead of ties you will need to create the two caps as shown in the original pattern but without the ties. Sew the two caps right sides together at the front or brim of the cap but leave the bottom of the cap completely open. Top stitch around the brim.

Chemo hats and scarves are essential items for patients dealing with and hopefully recovering from cancer and the chemotherapy treatment that often is the only way to combat this disease. While according to the National Cancer Insitute, the overall cancer death rates are on the decline, improvements in treatments have meant that the number of cancer survivors has increased greatly.
One of the main tools in combatting many forms of cancer is chemotherapy. While this treatment saves many lives, it has some very unfortunate side effects. In addition to severe nausea, headaches, and other side effects, chemotherapy often causes hair loss in patients. This hair loss just adds to the pain, loss of dignity, and feelings of social disconnection that cancer sufferers often feel. A chemo hat or scarf is often the only good way to minimize this.
It would be nice if no one ever needed this sort of thing, but unfortunately, that’s just not the case. I’m sure most of us have loved ones or at least know someone who has suffered from cancer. You can read one of my own stories in the article linked below.
If you know someone battling cancer, a chemo hat or scarf may be a beautiful way to show your support and care. So here are 20+ free chemo hat patterns and projects that may help you decide on something to make.

IHG Hotels & Resorts has unveiled the Hotel Indigo Minneapolis Downtown, centrally located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 218-room hotel presents a unique blend of local history, art, and modern design inside in the Northstar Center—a newly revamped mixed-use hub that spearheaded the revitalization of Minneapolis’ downtown in the 1960s.
True to its origins, the design of the new Hotel Indigo reflects a thoughtful merging of the past and present. “The hotel draws its inspiration from the original design of the Northstar hotel, an integral part of the ‘city within a city’ concept,” says Derek McCallum of locally based RSP Architects, design principal on the project.
Artifacts, stained glass, and photographs from the original Northstar Hotel enrich the property’s historical narrative, while sleek, midcentury modern elements are accentuated by textural woods and moss-green plaid wallcoverings. Terrazzo and brick are also featured.
Works by local artists and a collection of vinyl records are also displayed throughout in homage of the city’s rich music history. The lobby’s art gallery also leads to Star Bar & Bistro, a concept by local restaurateur Kim Bartmann, which “features a rotunda architectural feature and warm palette of eclectic materials,” McCallum adds.
Additional onsite amenities include a fitness center overlooking the city, a business center, and marketplace in the lobby.

VALPARAISO — Extending Indiana sheriffs' terms from four to six years was a popular idea Thursday at a gathering of sheriffs, state lawmakers and local officials.
Steve Luce, executive director of the Indiana Sheriffs' Association, pitched the proposal during a roundtable discussion hosted by the ISA and Porter County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriffs from around the state face the same challenge when taking office, according to Luce. They spend the first year or so learning the job and then just when they become comfortable, have to refocus on seeking a second four-year term, he said.
Having longer terms would provide "more continuity," Luce said.
Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez said he favored increasing from two to three the number of elected terms that can be sought by sheriffs.
Martinez said his own time in office has gone quickly and he has had to learn so much with the operation of the jail alone. Martinez first was elected in 2017 by Democratic party officials to complete the 15 months left in the unfinished term of former Sheriff John Buncich, who was convicted of bribery and removed from office.
The additional term would retain the right of voters to replace someone they do not like, Martinez said.
"I don't have enough time to get everything done I want to get done," he said.
Luce said increasing the current four-year terms to six years would avoid a challenge to term limits and yet extend the time sheriffs could serve so they "can do good things."
He said judges and prosecutors are not limited to just two terms like sheriffs.
This proposal would likely have more success downstate if it is joined by a push for the same type of change for other elected county-level offices limited to just two terms, Luce said.
Hendricks County Sheriff Brett Clark agreed, saying that those other county positions also require knowledge gained on the job.
He said simply increasing the number of four-years terms from two to three would be more expensive for candidates when election costs are figured in.
State Rep. Jim Pressel, R-Rolling Prairie, said the change will require a team effort by all the affected players.
The same suggestion was made by State Sen. Ed Charbonneau, R-Valparaiso, who added that the momentum needs to come from the bottom up.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers begin their offseason program on Tuesday, which means most -- if not all of the players -- will return to town today.
Nothing is mandatory, but nearly a third of their players have workout bonuses in their contracts. While it may vary from deal to deal, typically players must participate in 80 to 90 percent of the offseason program in order to collect their bonuses.
A total of 21 players have bonuses tied to the offseason workout program. In fact, according to ESPN Stats & Information contract data, the Packers have the highest potential payout on workout bonuses in the NFL this offseason at $4.3 million.
That is due in part because they have six players who rank among the top 20 in workout bonuses this year, including three players -- quarterback Aaron Rodgers, linebacker Clay Matthews and cornerback Sam Shields -- who are tied for the second-largest workout bonus in the league this offseason at $500,000. Only New York Jets tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson has a larger workout bonus at $750,000.
Even injured players who may not be able to participate in the workouts, such as Matthews (who is recovering from thumb surgery), can collect their workout bonuses by reporting to Lambeau Field and taking part in whatever exercises they can.
Per the rules of the collective bargaining agreement of 2011, the offseason program can last no more than 10 weeks with no more than four workouts per week, and none on the weekends. Full-contact practices are not allowed.
The first phase is limited to strength training and conditioning. In the second phase, coaches are allowed to be on the field with players doing individual and position drills without helmets. The third phase includes organized team activities (OTAs) and a minicamp (the only mandatory part of the offseason program).
In the OTA/minicamp portion, helmets but no pads except for protective knee and elbow pads are allowed. Full team (11-on-11) drills are allowed, but live contract drills between offensive and defensive linemen or receivers and defensive backs is prohibited.
The full Packers' offseason schedule can be found here.

Special Committee on Decolonization: Communiqué on the commutation of the sentence of Oscar López Rivera
The Special Committee on Decolonization welcomes and shares Puerto Rico’s joy over the release of independence leader Oscar López Rivera thanks to the united struggle and solidarity of the Puerto Rican people joined by various international personalities including Pope Francis. After serving 35 years of a 70-year sentence, his sentence has been commuted by decision of the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.
The United Nations Security Council held its first Open Debate of the year on Tuesday, to discuss the prevention of conflicts and sustainable peace. This debate had the participation of the new Secretary-General of the organization, Mr. António Guterres.
The United Nations Security Council held an open debate on Tuesday on Trafficking in Persons in Conflict Situations, in which the Permanent Representative of Venezuela to the United Nations, Ambassador Rafael Ramirez, linked the proliferation of this crime to the increase of extremist and terrorist groups which use this as source of financing for their criminal activities.
During the UN Security Council session held on Friday to discuss the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine, the Permanent Representative of Venezuela to the UN, Rafael Ramirez, questioned the lack of progress on this long-lasting conflict.
Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (C-24) on the 56th Anniversary of the Declaration
14 December 2016 marks the fifty-sixth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, which was adopted as General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960.
Ramírez on Syria: We reject the politicization of the humanitarian issue for overthrowing legitimate governments
The United Nations General Assembly adopted this Friday a resolution on the humanitarian situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, which in words of the Permanent Representative of Venezuela to the UN, Ambassador Rafael Ramirez, is an instrument that “pretends to condemn Syria, a brotherly Arab country victim of terrorist brutality that is fighting to defend its sovereignty”.
On Monday, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela voted against a UN Security Council resolution proposed by Spain and New Zealand, for considering the text does not reflect the reality on the ground, in the Syrian city of Eastern Aleppo.
“We have been to Cuba many times, but this occasion is filled with the weight of sorrow for the passing of the Commander”, said this Wednesday the Permanent Representative of Venezuela to the United Nations, Rafael Ramírez, in Havana, Cuba.
I believe it is a very important agreement to cut oil production to reach 32.5 million of barrels a day”, said Rafael Ramírez, Bolivarian Ambassador to the United Nations and former president of the State-own company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A (PDVSA).
Venezuela expresses its affection and solidarity to Cuba for the physical departure of Commander Fidel Castro Ruz
The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, on behalf of the Government and the people of Venezuela expresses, on this day of pain, all his affection and solidarity to the President of Cuba, Raúl Castro Ruz, to Dalia, his sons, family, people and Government of the sister Republic of Cuba, before the physical departure of Commander Fidel Castro Ruz, historical leader of the Cuban Revolution and founder father of the new Latin American and Caribbean history, undoubtedly the most important American in history of the twentieth century and example of generations for all time. Commander Fidel Castro Ruz was and will forever be the Martian and Bolivarian giant who started a change of era and showed, with certainty and loyalty to his ideals, the way of building the humanist and socialist project in our Great Homeland.
"United Nations, now, in the 21st Century and for the third millennium, should focus all of its efforts, to the utmost, on moral, intellectual, scientific, social, cultural, economic and financial order, in the fight against the demons of hunger, poverty and death that scourge our planet."
"We will take with us to the UN a voice that repudiates terrorism and speaks out in favour of world peace; that respects the sovereignty of peoples and has the credit of the 181 countries who voted for us, not as an imperialist power that conquers peoples, but with our Bolivarian vision of peace and the right to exist."
"We must speak clearly and firmly on this point: during the United Nations’ 70 years of existence, the Palestinian people have faced a constant lack of respect for the most basic rights, and it is shameful that this organisation has known about the situation since it was founded and to date no political solution to the conflict has been reached"
"Venezuela will now, more than ever, be an active voice in the defence of the sovereign equality of nations; in particular of the inalienable rights of the peoples of the South to development and peace"

Following a three-year hiatus, AmCham HK visited Washington, DC to meet with members of the US Administration, Congress and think tank experts, as well as the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office in Washington, DC. Led by AmCham HK’s chairman, Geoffrey C. Siebengartner, managing director and head of government relations & corporate responsibility, Asia Pacific of JPMorgan Chase & Co., the five-person delegation joined with AmChams of Asia Pacific (AAP) which also meets annually with policymakers in the US capital. This was the first time AmCham HK joined forces with AAP and its 50-member delegation. The first two days focused on regional issues in Asia-Pacific, with a third day of separate meetings on Hong Kong-specific issues. On August 24, Mr. Siebengartner and members of the doorknock delegation briefed AmChamHK members in a closed session under Chatham House rules.
Members of the delegation included AmCham HK vice chairman David L. Butts, president, Asia Pacific & group executive vice president at Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd; board members Sally Peng, senior managing director of FTI Consulting, and Mary McHale, APAC director of strategic accounts at Equinix, Inc.; Benjamin Kostrzewa, head of AmCham HK’s trade and investment committee and international trade and regulatory lawyer at Hogan Lovells and AmChamHK director of communications and government affairs, Queenie Tsui.
After the long interruption caused by travel disruption during the Covid-19 pandemic, the delegation had a four-fold mission. First, it was to remind the Washington policy and legislative community of the importance of the US-Hong Kong economic relationship and Hong Kong’s strategic position as a US trading partner (the US had a trade surplus with Hong Kong of $22.5 billion in 2022). Second, Hong Kong is a hub and gateway not just to China but to the rest of the Indo-Pacific region, which may be forgotten within the Beltway. Third, Hong Kong supports a free flow of information, vital to business as it is to civil society. Fourth, the delegates communicated the value of AmCham HK, in its close-up perspective and access both to the Hong Kong government and through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Liaison Office to the government of China.
The delegates found that US-China relations overshadowed Hong Kong and perceptions about Hong Kong inside the Beltway remain negative. The mood in Washington is one of uncertainty, focused on issues that lack a clear outcome, like the war in Ukraine, artificial intelligence (AI), climate change and China. On China, the Biden administration is starting to put together its China policy and gaining confidence, but without a clear endpoint in terms of technology controls. Hong Kong is seen as part of a bigger picture of a very tense US-China relationship.
The delegation encouraged its interlocutors to visit or transit through Hong Kong when traveling to the region, to better understand the on-the-ground business environment. The delegates also conveyed the Chamber’s impression that the Chinese central government supports Hong Kong as a business-friendly city.
The annual Washington DC Doorknock is part of AmCham HK’s advocacy effort to promote business development in Hong Kong and facilitate dialogue between businesses and governments of Hong Kong, US and Mainland China.
AmCham HK’s Washington Doorknock Partner Airline:


Abstract: When rain falls onto a large body of water it produces dominating underwater sound over a broad range of audio frequencies. Laboratory studies using more than 1000 single drops, covering the complete size range of actual rain drops at their terminal speeds, have now shown that the complete underwater spectrum of rainfall sound can be dissected into the impact and microbubble sounds produced by four acoustically distinctive ranges of drop diameters D. These are defined as 'minuscule' drops (D <=0.8 mm), 'small' drops (0.8mm<= D <=1.1mm), 'mid-size' drops (1.1mm<= D <=2.2 mm), and 'large' drops (D >=2.2mm). A minuscule raindrop produces only a very weak, almost undetectable, short duration impact noise. A small drop at terminal speed and at local, near-normal incidence, radiates measurable broadband impact sound followed by the very much stronger sound of a "type I" damped microbubble oscillating at frequencies near 15kHz. A mid-size raindrop radiates only impact sound. Large raindrops, which comprise the major volume of moderate to heavy rainfall, produce an impact sound and a dominating, "type II", "primary" oscillating microbubble of characteristic frequency 2 to 10kHz depending on the drop diameter. Also, large drops often generate weaker sounds from "secondary" bubbles. The average acoustic energy spectra of large raindrops are distinctive functions of their diameters, the salinity of the surface water, and the temperature difference between the drop and the surface water. When the underwater acoustic intensity spectrum during heavy rain is calculated from the single drop acoustic energy spectra and the drop size distribution, it compares quite well with ocean measurements. The gas injection at the air-water interface is calculated from the probability of bubble formation during a heavy rainfall.

Discussion in 'Guitars in General' started by srmillis, Jul 22, 2019.
Wow......breaking news.......I wonder where this goes......
I'd say, about 25 pages or so.
For me, this is kind of the final straw with Reverb.
The past couple years I've had some bad experiences on their site, plus they tax everything now.
I've moved back to eBay; so far so good.
Moved from Ebay to Reverb for the last 5 years but now I guess its a sign that I treat every purchase with a sense of permanence. Reverb had the benefit of no taxes for awhile, lower fees for selling, and better selection so it was really easy to buy, try, and resell if I didn't like. Nice while it lasted and I got to try almost every brand that I wanted and kept what I liked.
Actually, just noticed that we have a similar thread on The Pub already.
This thread is in multiple forums. Oh well...
Price seemed kinda low to me....

Florida High School With Animal Rights, LGBT Clubs Won’t Allow Pro-life Club
Written by Michael Tennant
The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is going to bat for a Florida high-school student whose request to form a student pro-life club has been unofficially denied for months because of the club’s supposedly controversial nature — even as the school recognizes dozens of other clubs with political or religious agendas.
According to a letter to school officials from ADF legal counsel Michael Ross, on August 8, Gabrielle Gabbard, a student at Gulf Coast High School in Naples, Florida, submitted the necessary documentation to form a student-led pro-life club called Sharks 4 Life, named after the school’s athletic teams. The club would be affiliated with Students for Life of America (SFLA), a national organization with over 1,200 affiliates, including 28 in the Sunshine State. Gabbard also named two faculty advisers, Lisa Townsend and Linda Cassidy.
Later that month, Gabbard submitted a flyer for “Club Rush,” an event in early September where student clubs can promote themselves and recruit members.
A few days later, she met with Assistant Principal Catherine Crawford-Brown to discuss the delay in approving the club.
“Ms. Crawford-Brown stated that the Collier County School district would not approve the club because it was too ‘political’ and ‘controversial,’ and that some of the content in the flyer for Club Rush was unacceptable,”
reads the letter. The flyer, a copy of which was attached to the letter, is about as inoffensive as one could imagine: no images of unborn babies, whether alive or dead, and no inflammatory language — just a simple statement of the club’s purpose and a list of upcoming events such as the March for Life.
On September 4, Crawford-Brown again met with Gabbard; this time, Cassidy was in attendance. Crawford-Brown
“expressed concern that approving the club would be seen as endorsing their political views,” adding that “she did not want either pro-choice or pro-life groups at Gulf Coast,” wrote Ross. In addition, Crawford-Brown “made pointed remarks numerous times that if Ms. Cassidy continued to try and be a faculty advisor, she could lose her job.”
Cassidy, as a result, chose not to be an advisor for the club; Townsend did likewise after Cassidy informed her of Crawford-Brown’s threats. No student club can be approved without a faculty advisor.
Since that time, neither Crawford-Brown nor the Collier County Public School Board has responded to requests from Gabbard and SFLA, causing Sharks 4 Life to miss Club Rush and be denied access to school facilities and other benefits afforded approved student groups.
ADF contends that the school’s failure to recognize Sharks 4 Life is illegal under the federal Equal Access Act, which requires public secondary schools to permit student clubs without regard to the content of their speech. The group notes that Gulf Coast High School already has 78 approved clubs, including the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Animal Rights Club, the Gay-Straight Alliance, and Collier Students for Change, which is affiliated with the state Democratic Party.
The First Amendment also prohibits schools from engaging in “viewpoint and content-based discrimination,” says ADF. “This failure to approve the club without any justification is also an unconstitutional ‘form of prior restraint’ on core political speech.”
ADF is demanding that (1) the school recognize Sharks 4 Life and treat it like any other student organization; (2) the school “provide written assurance” that faculty members will not be mistreated for advising the club; and (3) the school board update its policies to require both timely consideration of requests to start student clubs and no discrimination against clubs based on the content of their speech.
“Public school officials can’t refuse to recognize a student organization for being too ‘political’ or ‘controversial,’ especially when they have rightfully approved a whole host of other clubs formed around religious, political, and social interests,” Ross said in a press release. “The First Amendment doesn’t permit a public school to play favorites when approving student organizations. Gulf Coast High School must recognize Sharks 4 Life, and Collier County Public Schools needs to update its policies so that this doesn’t happen again.”
Should the schools fail to meet ADF’s demands, Ross warned in his letter, “we will have no option but to advise our client of other avenues for vindicating her rights.”

Study of Socio-Demographic Factors among Injured Persons in a District of Western Uttar Pradesh – A Cross Sectional Study
Background: Injuries are becoming major public health problem worldwide and since India is also passing through a major socio-demographic, epidemiological and technological transition; injuries are coming up as an emerging health problem. Objectives: To find out prevalence of “Injuries” and role of socio demographic factors related with injuries. Material & Methods: It is a type of observational study in rural & urban area of Agra district. The area to be surveyed was selected by multistage stratified random sampling technique. A recall period of three months for minor injuries & one year for major injuries or deaths due to injury was used. A total of 4 villages covering 2439 population and in urban area 2 mohalla & 2 slums covering 2410 population were surveyed. Data collected was entered on Fox. Pro (vs. 2.6) and analyzed by SPSS (vs. 10). Results: A total of 93 persons in rural and 142 persons in urban had major while 147 peoples in rural and 200 peoples in urban had minor injuries during the recall period. It was found that as the age increases the number of minor injuries increased from 0-35 yrs while decreased after that and maximum major & minor injuries were found in 16-35 yr age group. Regarding socio-economic class maximum injuries both major & minor were found in class IV (lower middle). Conclusions: Considering the high morbidities due to injuries focusing health education eff orts based on local epidemiology and behavioral practices is needed.
