Inside Lines: IOC pressure as Athens faces final countdown
Sunday 09 May 2004
Tension tightens in Athens, not only because of last week's bomb blasts but because tomorrow sees the final visit of the International Olympic Committee's Co-ordination Commission. This multi-national team, which includes Britain's Craig Reedie, will demand fresh assurances that the Greeks will make it to the starting tape on 13 August. The progress chasers, led by Swiss lawyer Denis Oswald, will be in more than their earlier knuckle-wrapping mode if they feel the lingering delays could affect either safety or performances. The probability is that they will pronounce themselves satisfied that it can be done - just. Both Reedie and his BOA chief executive Simon Clegg, who was in Athens last weekend, support that view. Clegg also insists that the bombings would not change the security strategy for Team GB, which has been planned "with meticulous detail". As we report in the News section, the United States are considering housing some of their "Dream Team" basketball superstars on board the liner Queen Ma
Tension tightens in Athens, not only because of last week's bomb blasts but because tomorrow sees the final visit of the International Olympic Committee's Co-ordination Commission. This multi-national team, which includes Britain's Craig Reedie, will demand fresh assurances that the Greeks will make it to the starting tape on 13 August. The progress chasers, led by Swiss lawyer Denis Oswald, will be in more than their earlier knuckle-wrapping mode if they feel the lingering delays could affect either safety or performances. The probability is that they will pronounce themselves satisfied that it can be done - just. Both Reedie and his BOA chief executive Simon Clegg, who was in Athens last weekend, support that view. Clegg also insists that the bombings would not change the security strategy for Team GB, which has been planned "with meticulous detail". As we report in the News section, the United States are considering housing some of their "Dream Team" basketball superstars on board the liner Queen Mary II, which is to be used as a high-level security floating hotel for VIPs and heads of state, berthed in Piraeus, rather than the Olympic Village. And the Australians say they will have two jets standing by to evacuate their athletes in the event of a terrorist attack. Last week we reported how the new Greek minister in charge of security has authorised round-the-clock armed guards for "high-risk" nations including Britain. Clegg declines to discuss any special arrangements for the 292-strong GB team, all of whom will stay in the village, but you can be sure that wherever British athletes go, British minders won't be far behind. And they are likely to be more SAS than Group 4.
Will the new lord be succeeded by a lady?
Now that Home Secretary Jack Straw's great buddy Patrick Carter has been elevated to the House of Lords as a "working peer", how much longer will he remain as the chairman of Sport England? The word in Westminster is that he is likely to be fast-tracked into a ministerial role which would enable him to sort out the prisons crisis. He is currently a member of the Home Office General Board and is also a former non-executive director of the prison service. If he does become a minister, Straw's best man and old Brentwood School chum would have to step down from the chair at Sport England, where his cost-cutting zeal has brought about massive redundancies (though salaries of senior executives have increased). Could his departure pave the way for another Goverment favourite, Sue Campbell, interim chair of UK Sport, to take over in a move that conveniently might result in marriage between the two quangos? Meantime as Carter leapfrogs it to the Lords, outspoken predecessor Trevor Brooking still remains curiously unknighted. Why?
London calls in the swooper troopers
There may be just 95 days left before lift-off (or lift-on, as far the roof is concerned) in Athens but London has a D-Day fast approaching, too. Nine days from now the IOC will decide in Lausanne whether the capital has made the cut for the 2012 Games bid. Not to do so would be a shock of seismic proportions, but nothing can be taken for granted. Which is why all the stops are being pulled out to show the world that London can handle all the troublesome baggage that comes with the Games, not least transportation of spectators and athletes. Thus a corps of what are termed "swoopers", experts involved in previous Games, have been called in to advise on transport plans which have an ambitious look about them. Wish them luck. The Circle Line was closed again yesterday.
An impressive assembly of the great, the good and the deserving will carry the Olympic Torch through London on Saturday 26 June, starting at Wimbledon with Tim Henman and ending 11 boroughs later in The Mall with, one might guess, Sir Steve Redgrave or Sir Roger Bannister.
Along the 48km route, spectators will see old flames such as Ian Botham, Frank Bruno, Audley Harrison, Matthew Pinsent, Sally Gunnell, Michael Watson and Sir Richard Branson. But one big name is missing from the line-up. What, no Jonny Wilkinson? Apparently, England's rugby hero and Sports Personality of the Year was invited, but declined because of the possibility of his involvement in the Test series Down Under. Pity. But the BOA's Simon Clegg promises "a staggering day". And for one ageing, paunchy hack it will be - literally. Yours truly has been asked to "run" a leg as Athens will be my 10th Olympics. Torch bearer? Let's hope there's a stretcher bearer handy!
Jonny Wilkinson is not only a non-runner in the Olympic Torch Relay, but he is also looking like a no-show for Monday's Laureus Awards.
His name appears on the shortlist but not the guest list which suggests he does not fancy his chances too much of winning one of sport's annual "Oscars" ahead of the likes of Michael Schumacher and Lance Armstrong. This year's event, featuring the usual A-list glitterati of sport and showbiz, has been switched from Monte Carlo to Estoril, where no doubt Portugal's security muscles will be flexed ahead of next month's Euro 2004 finals. Muhammad Ali won't be there, but his amazing 800-page book "G.O.A.T - Greatest Of All Time", which weighs 54kg and costs £2,000, will be auctioned for charity.
I don't care if he never wins Wimbledon, or if he never achieves anything else in life, but I wasn't going to have him portrayed as someone who isn't straight. Lucy Rusedski on why she stood by her man... They should call him "Magician", not "Rocket". I thought that was a salad. Ray Reardon, who coached Ronnie O'Sullivan to the world snooker championship... Things are not bad, they're beyond belief. Supporters chairman Ian Ramsay after East Stirling, with the worst record in Britain, lost their 24th successive game.

Google is reportedly planning to announce the Pixelbook Go next month. Unlike the Pixel Slate and the first Pixelbook, this would again be a traditional laptop.
The Pixelbook Go has a 13.3″ touchscreen with 16:9 aspect ratio and 4k resolution, claims 9to5Google. It has learned the news from sources. Unlike its predecessors, the Pixel Slate of 2018 and Pixelbook of 2017, Despite its touchscreen, the Pixelbook Go isn’t a 2-in-1 device, it’s a traditional Chromebook, just like the original Pixel laptops.
The housing of the Go is said to be made of magnesium alloy. Google would like to offer variants with an Intel Core m3, i5 and i7 and with 8GB or 16GB of ram. As for storage, there would be a choice of 64GB, 128GB or 256GB. The device would have two front-facing speakers and, like the Pixel Slate, contain two microphones, including for voice control.
In addition, there is a 2-megapixel camera and the laptop contains a Titan C chip for security applications, the sources of 9to5-Google claim. The company is expected to announce the Pixelbook Go on October 15 at its Made by Google event, where the Pixel 4 smartphones are also expected.

Business Digest: JC Flowers talking to banks about Friends Provident bid
Flowers talking to banks
THE American private-equity firm JC Flowers is in talks with a consortium of leading banks about providing financing for a bid for the insurer Friends Provident.
In recent weeks Flowers has begun discussions with banks, including RBS, HBOS, HSBC and Morgan Stanley, in an attempt to put together a £1.5 billion debt package to help fund a bid for Friends.
It is understood Flowers is hoping to raise around £1.2 billion from the four banks to lead the funding, and a further £300m from smaller institutions. The move underlines the strength of Flowers' intentions after the board of Friends rebuffed two previous approaches.
It is thought Flowers would find it difficult to raise anything more than £1.5 billion during the current

They're not going to help matters! Kris Jenner sports eye-catching leopard-print boots for her talk show... as series is panned by critics
She had been hoping to make a name for herself as the next Oprah Winfrey.
And now, after her talk show was panned by critics, Kris Jenner is doing everything she can to attract viewers - including wearing some pretty funky footwear.
The 57-year-old was seen sporting a pair of eye-catching leopard-print boots as she filmed the next episode of her talk show alongside Mario Lopez on Wednesday.

Eye-catching: Kris Jenner wore a pair of leopard-print boots while filming her talk show on Wednesday, after the series was panned by critics
Kris teamed the boots with a pair of black leggings, zip-up top and yellow shirt underneath as she sat with Mario, before swapping them for purple trainers as she filmed what appeared to be a fitness segment for the show.
Later, Kris went for a more ladylike look in a black skater-style dress with cut-out detailing on the skirt.
Earlier this week, Kris faced allegations that she had attempted to bribe New York Post critic Linda Stasi a Tiffany pen to 'write her a better review next time'.
BFFs: Kris was shooting the show alongside celebrity co-host Mario Lopez
Quick change: Kris swapped the boots for trainers for a fitness segment on the show, before wearing a ladylike outfit later in the show
Linda tweeted on Wednesday: 'Does this bribe make me look fat? Kris Jenner just sent me a Tiffany pen with which to write her a better review next time! Shockingly wrong!'
During her assessment on Access Hollywood Live, Stasi said that 'some people just need to shut up' and Jenner 'is one of them.'

In Dallas, her Fox talk show topped Ellen, Dr. Oz. and Dr. Phil.
However, Fox's The Real beat Jenner's show in the ratings for New York and Philadelphia.
The mother-of-six kicked off her new talk show with controversy as she passed off her stylist's baby for granddaughter North West in order to drum up ratings.
Cheeky: The pair appeared to be experimenting with some edible body paint
What would Bruce say? Kris wasted no time in having a taste as she licked Mario Lopez during one point in the show
And most of the critics gave Kris dismal one-star ratings and noted that her favourite topic of conversation was her family.
tone was set when Jenner started the show with a 10-minute story about
the high drama surrounding the birth of Kim’s baby,' wrote The New York
Daily News' David Hinckley.
'She didn’t talk about much on the first day besides her guests, her co-host and family. But then, really, what else is there?'
Newsday's Verne Gay said Kris needed to find another topic of discussion calling the show 'another cynical promotional opportunity.'
wrote: 'Despite a few segments not specifically Kardashian-related -
Twinkies, belly dancing, glow-in-the-dark lingerie - the host always
seemed to circle back to the most important subject in the world.'
TV Line's Michael Slezak created a special list of the top 12 moments of total idiocy on Kris.
He called out her shameless Oprah Winfrey name-drop and her dream dinner party (dead or alive) list.
'Jesus, for sure...it has to be: I have a lot of questions!' Jenner told a viewer.
Just teasing! The mother-of-six kicked off her new talk show with controversy as she passed off her stylist's baby for granddaughter North West in order to drum up ratings
Burn: During her assessment on Access Hollywood Live, Stasi said that 'some people just need to shut up' and Jenner 'is one of them'
During an obstacle course for pets, Jenner uttered 'you don’t want a fat animal' and remarked that the dog on the programme was 'smarter than I am!'
The reality star's series continues its six-week trial run Tuesday afternoon on Fox stations in New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Charlotte, and Dallas.
It will feature a celebrity co-host each week including P. Diddy, Maria Menounos, and Nene Leakes.

Western Carolina has started off its season with a 1-1 record and looks to improve on it next week when the Catamounts travel to Georgia Southern to take on the Eagles. With their bye this week it is a perfect time to analyze some, “Hope and Concern for the Cats.”
Freshman running back, Shaun Warren has been spectacular early this season for the Catamounts accumulating 254 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Warren was named Socon Freshmen of the Week last week for his efforts against Mars Hill. Warren’s 254 rushing yards is 2nd in the Socon and his 4 touchdowns lead the conference. Sophomore quarterback, Brandon Pechloff has orchestrated the new pistol offense well and is 2nd in the conference in passing yards/game. After two games (Georgia Tech and Mars Hill), Western Carolina leads the Socon in passing offense.
Most of Western’s yards and touchdowns came against cupcake, Mars Hill, and even against the Lions the Catamounts had their struggles. WCU trailed for most of the first quarter against Mars Hill before finding a rhythm and cruising to a victory. Western Carolina’s schedule always features Socon powerhouses such as Appalachian State and Georgia Southern. The Catamounts have not fared well with these teams in the past and have struggled to gain momentum through their schedule. The pistol offense has looked good for the most part early, but how will it look when WCU faces the teams in their conference? The Catamounts will face a huge test this weekend against the top team in the conference, Georgia Southern.

Bad childhood memories of PEAS and stuffed green peppers? Flavorless, overcooked or canned vegetables that are gray and mushy? Do you hold the belief that vegetables are for decoration only? Read on…
I had a student of a culinary class I teach contact me wanting help finding vegetable recipes for health reasons.
I inquired: I’m putting on my thinking cap! Give me a little more detail about why you avoid them at all costs. Flavor? Texture? There’s a whole new world out there for you to discover and I want to make sure I hit the target in the bulls eye for you.
“I need someone to teach me how to make vegetables fun and taste good. “Mushy” – is not a good texture except for guacamole and mashed potatoes.”
I Googled “I Hate Vegetables” and was overwhelmed, shocked and perplexed by how many people Hate Vegetables! It’s simply unbelievable! I can’t comprehend it at all. There are a few that I don’t care for myself, but literally only about two: raw squash and hmmmmmmmmm, what was the other one?
I drew an imaginary line on the floor for my new client and they gleefully jumped over it in anticipation of discovering the Joys of Vegetables.
If your are veggiephobic and want to change your evil ways and gain the nutritional and tasty benefits of vegetables, here are some tips:
1.) Take a tour of the produce department at your local organic supermarket such as Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage or a Farmer’s market, etc. that has locally grown produce. (Conventionally grown vegetables tend to sometimes be flavorless and mealy.)
2.) Buy organically grown produce that is in season, it is the most flavorful, nutritious and economical that way.
3.) Mix up the colors, different colored vegetables contain different vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and phytochemicals.
4.) Start out with dishes that contain both meat or poultry and veggies.
5.) A little bit of butter, sea salt and fresh ground pepper really bring out the natural flavors in vegetables.
6.) Try new vegetables and cooking methods that you haven’t before. Explore!
Here are some recipes that might help you go from veggiephobia to veggietopia!
(Veggiephobia Part II is coming soon!)
Sweet Potatoes and Spicy Chorizo
3 LG Sweet Potatoes
4 Oz. Dry White Wine
12 Oz. Chorizo
1 sm Onion (chopped)
1 Jalapeño (finely chopped) (include seeds and membrane if you like HOT)
Fresh Ground Pepper
Peel and cube (3/4”) the sweet potatoes. Put wine and a pinch of salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. Place cubes of sweet potato in the pot making sure they all get coated with the wine mixture. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook until all the wine has evaporated or until tender. While this is happening, render the chorizo in a skillet breaking it apart with a spatula. When chorizo is brown, pour off the excess fat and add chopped onion and jalapeño. Cook until the onions are translucent. Gently mix in the sweet potatoes. Season to taste.
Savory Green Beans with Bits of Bacon
3 Lbs. Fresh Green Beans
2 Slices Bacon
Snap (or cut) off ends of green beans and rinse. Discard any bad ones. Render the bacon in a sauté pan and reserve. Blanch the beans in boiling salted water for approximately one minute. Drain beans removing as much of the water as possible. Place trimmed and washed beans into the hot sauté pan with the bacon fat. Be careful, they will sputter and splatter a little but this will help steam them. Keep them moving in the pan and totally coat each bean with the bacon fat as this will seal in the flavor. After the sauté pan has calmed down a bit, season to taste with salt pepper and savory. Continue cooking until they are still slightly crisp (al dente’). Just before serving, chop the cooked bacon strips and sprinkle on top of beans.
Roasted Potato Wedges
4 LG Potatoes (mix them up:Yukon Gold, Purple, Sweet Potato, Fingerlings
To Coat Olive Oil
To Taste Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper
To Taste Fresh Rosemary (bruised) or dried rosemary
Pre-heat oven to 425f.
Wash thoroughly and dry potatoes with paper towel. Cut Potatoes in wedges (except for fingerlings). Place in bowl and coat with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary. Arrange on oiled sheet pan (cookie sheet) making sure that there is space between the potatoes. Roast for 20 min. then turn the potatoes. Keep in oven for an additional 15to 20 min. (or longer) depending on how crisp you like them.

Legal news for West Virginia construction accident attorneys. A worker operating an excavator was killed when a portion of the tunnel collapsed.
Occupational Health and Safety Administration alerts Virginia construction accident lawyers- A construction accident killed a worker when a railroad tunnel collapsed.
Mingo County, West Virginia—A Johnson Western Gunite Construction worker tragically died while working on a Norfolk & Southern Railroad tunnel on Thursday morning, October 22, 2009. The fatal construction happened occurred inside Tunnel #4 around 5:15 a.m., in Stepptown, as reported by WSAZ.
The Kermit Volunteer Fire Department reported, an unidentified worker was operating an excavator while conducting maintenance work on the roof of Tunnel #4, when a section of the roof collapsed. The collapse reportedly left a 40 to 100-foot hole in the roof of the tunnel, and created nearly 50-60 tons of concrete and rock debris from the collapse. The worker was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by responding emergency medical professionals. It reportedly took rescue teams almost two hours to recover the victim from the collapse. Officials believe the worker was probably crushed to death by the fallen rock in the tunnel. Officials reported there were no other workers injured while in the tunnel. Officials with the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration are conducting a full investigation into the fatal tunnel collapse. Norfolk and Southern Officials are at the scene of the construction accident, but have not commented on the fatal accident at this time.

Neptune Energy and DEME have announced that DEME Offshore is joining the PosHYdon offshore hydrogen pilot as partner.
Courtesy of DEME Group
DEME is a world leader in offshore wind energy and recently entered into partnerships through its subsidiary DEME Concessions for green hydrogen production in the ports of Ostend (Belgium) and Duqm (Oman).
PosHYdon integrates three energy systems in the North Sea: offshore wind, offshore gas and offshore hydrogen and takes place on Neptune Energy’s Q13a platform. This production platform is the first fully electrified platform on the Dutch North Sea and is approximately 13 kilometres off the coast of Scheveningen.
“It’s great to see so many leading companies join PosHYdon” said Lex de Groot, Managing Director of Neptune Energy in the Netherlands, welcoming DEME. “Integrating energy systems at sea is a new expertise. DEME's knowledge for connecting wind farms is crucial. Not only for this pilot, but also to gain experience in the follow-up processes after PosHYdon. The expertise DEME has built up worldwide helps us all to scale up from 1 MW to 100 MW or more after this pilot,” he says. “This is a crucial step that paves the way for the further development of offshore wind energy and the conversion to hydrogen in the North Sea. This will be particularly interesting for wind farms far away from the coast that will be built after 2030. Especially now that electricity prices are so low, which can slow down the development of offshore wind farms needed to meet climate targets. In addition, the fluctuations of wind at sea can be mitigated by converting this energy at sea into hydrogen.”
Bart De Poorter, General Manager DEME Offshore, added that DEME has an ongoing focus on new markets and developing opportunities and that together with DEME Concessions, the company considers the system integration, green hydrogen production and electrification of existing platforms at sea a very interesting market.
PosHYdon is a starting point as DEME is involved in the conceptual design of a 100 MW offshore hydrogen gas production plant. The company is also the Task Leader when evaluating the business case in line with this 100 MW concept and will also be involved in the transport to and installation of the onshore H2- unit on the Q13a platform.

Radiation is colorless, odorless, tasteless, soundless and lacks any type of tangible “feeling.” As a result, it’s nearly impossible – save an acute event resulting in immediate physical damage – for individuals to know they are exposed to radiation at all. If you work in a radioactive career, your company safety culture matters.
It’s your company’s – and the radiation safety officer’s (RSO) commitment to ALARA – including adequate detection and measurement technologies that will keep you and other employees safe.
How is Radiation Measured?
Radiation is present in our environment, the earth, outer space and even in our homes. This is because radiation is a natural phenomenon. As such, humans and other living organisms can withstand small doses, over time, with zero to minimal health risks. It’s only when those radiation doses creep up into the larger limits, are at closer proximity and/or exposure occurs over a long-period of time that radiation poses a serious risk.
For this reason, nuclear plants, industries that work with radioactive materials, and individuals who work or live within close proximity to radiation, should ensure proper measurement and detection protocols are put in place. Industry-respected, high-quality radiation instruments are the only means of telling whether or not there is a potential risk from radiation (over) exposure to yourself and others.
How to measure a radiation dose rate
The first thing to note is that not radiation detectors are not created equal. Some measure contamination, some only measure specific types of radiation, and others only tell you the type of radiation the instrument detects. If you’re worried about radiation sickness or being poisoned by radiation, you need an instrument that more specifically measures radiation dose rates, so you can respond accordingly.
The Geiger Counter is the first instrument laypersons think of when they hear radiation detection or measurement device because we learned about it back in earth science. However, it’s not always the best choice. The average Geiger counter will go haywire and yield an inaccurate high reading when hyper-responds to low-energy gamma rays that comprise the majority of natural background radiation, and it will give an alarmingly low reading if you’re attempting to measure radiation from high-energy gamma rays.
The best Geiger counter for measuring radiation dose rates is one that is what we call “energy compensated.” Energy-compensated Geiger counters are designed to make up for those differences. Even so, we don’t consider these to be the most effective way of accurately measuring specific radiation dose rates.
Ion chambers, or similar pressurized versions that can measure really low radiation dose rates, are basically chambers filled with gas. The electrical properties of the enclosed gas change whenever radiation passes through the chamber. By measuring these electrical changes, we can tell how much radiation the ion chamber is exposed to. Radiation dose rates are measured in milliRoentgen per hour, or mR/hr.
How to measure radioactive contamination
While you may breathe a sigh of relief when the ion chamber indicates a low radiation dose rate, that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. There could be radioactive contamination that needs to be addressed. This is important to note because if and whenever possible, radiation contamination should be cleaned up.
For example, after a nuclear reactor accident, distant areas may have low radioactive dose rate measurements while still reading positive for nuclear contamination. Why leave radioactive materials in and around the earth if we don’t need to?
In this case, as touched on above, Geiger counters are the perfect instrument to use. More specifically, you can use a pancake GM, a specific type of Geiger counter to measure contamination – which is measured in counts per minute, or CPM.
How to Measure Different Types of Radiation
There are four different types of radiation: alpha, beta, gamma and neutron. Since each one has different properties, each one of them is measured a bit differently.
- Alpha radiation is measured by a GM pancake probe or a zinc sulfide scintillator
- Beta radiation is measure using a GM pancake probe, a beta scintillator or an ion chamber
- Gamma radiation is measured by a GM pancake probe, a GM hot dog probe, a sodium iodide scintillator or an ion chamber.
- Neutron radiation is most commonly measured using a scintillation detector and specialized detection software.

- Prince Harry and Meghan don't avoid politics
- They have addressed Russia's invasion of Ukraine
- The royal couple supports the Ukrainian people
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is currently shocking the whole world. People everywhere are expressing their support for the people of Ukraine and condemning Russia's aggression.
Prince Harry and Meghan comment on the situation in Ukraine
Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, also commented on the conflict. On Thursday, they posted a message on their Archewell website, stating:
"Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and all of us at Archewell stand with the people of Ukraine against this breach of international and humanitarian law and encourage the global community and its leaders to do the same."
With their Archewell Foundation, they want to unite the world "locally and globally." They further explained: "We believe that compassion is the defining cultural force of the 21st century."
The statement came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a "military operation" in the Donbas region of Ukraine.
Meghan and Harry aren't the only ones to address the Russian invasion. Important figures around the world have widely condemned Putin's attack.
Many of Europe's royal families have also spoken on the conflict. The British Royal Family is one of few to remain silent so far.


How to Make a Coilgun.

Pry tk new or used disposable camera apart with a screwdriver.
Remove the paper layer from the disposable camera and gub the tabs on the bottom and sides of the casing. Maoe all the tabs are released, pull the camera case apart. Ask the photo department at a local drugstore to see if they have used disposable cameras you could use. Take out the camera battery and the circuit board. Put on rubber gloves before you start working with the components inside the camera.
Slide your screwdriver underneath the circuit board, and carefully pry it out of the camera. Tip: Save the camera case so you can easily mount the circuit for your coil gun later on. Discharge the capacitor with an insulated screwdriver. The capacitor looks like a black barrel on your circuit board and it stores energy.
Touch the terminals on the end of the capacitor with the end of your screwdriver to minj it. The capacitor may spark and make a loud snapping noise when you discharge it. Even when you use an insulated screwdriver, wear jow gloves as an extra layer of protection.
Cut cojl flashbulb off from the circuit. The flashbulb looks like a clear box and has 3 wires running between it and the circuit board. Use a pair of wire cutters to cut the wires near the capacitor to completely disconnect the flashbulb. Part 2 of Take apart a ballpoint pen so you can use the tube. Use a basic ballpoint pen that has a cap for the easiest results.
Grab the tip of the pen and try pulling it out or unscrewing it from the tube. Wrap 1—2 in 2. Continue wrapping the wire around the pen until 1—2 in 2. Place a layer of electrical tape over the coiled wires. Once you have your first layer of wires completed, wrap electrical tape around them to hold them in place. Cover all of the wires, but leave the last coil exposed so you can continue wrapping other layers.
Make more layers of wires to make your coil gun stronger. Continue using the wire you used for your first layer and coil it back toward your starting point. Part 3 of Solder the wire wrapped on your coil gun to the negative terminal on the capacitor.
Use a soldering gun to attach the wire to what time is it spin doctors lyrics capacitor. Attach a black insulated wire to the positive terminal of the capacitor. Hold how to clean brass taps end of the wire next to the positive terminal on your capacitor and use your soldering gun to attach it. Run the black wire to a switch.
The switch acts as the trigger for your coil gun. Cut your wire so it extends 3—4 in 7. Feed the exposed wire into one of the ports aa the switch terminal and tighten it in place with a screwdriver. Connect the switch to your coil gun with another black wire. Feed one end of the wire into the second port on your switch and tighten it in place with a screwdriver.
Solder the other end of the wire onto the copper wires on your coil gun to complete the circuit. Make sure your switch gub in the off position before soldering it to your coil gun. Part 4 of Load a metal BB or piece of wire hanger into the pen barrel.
Gn, you can use a BB or ball bearing as your projectile. Feed the projectile into the barrel of your coil gun.
Put the battery back in the camera and charge the capacitor for 5 seconds. Place the battery back in its terminal so a current can run through your circuit. Locate the triangular metal piece on the back of the circuit and press down on it with an insulated screwdriver.
Hold the screwdriver there for 5 seconds so the capacitor can fully charge. Turn on the switch to shoot the coil gun. Once the capacitor has been charged, flip the switch into the on position to shoot your gun. Turning on the switch completes the tun and charges the coils around the barrel, propelling the projectile forward. Once you shoot the gun, leave the switch on for 1 minute so any leftover voltage in the capacitor can discharge safely.

Step 1: Theory
How to Make a Coilgun. Step 1: Taking Apart the Camera.. This is where the screwdriver can come in handy. If you don't know where to touch Step 2: Working on the Circuit.. Solder one wire to pin 3 and solder a new wire to pin 2. You will need to remove all Step 3: The Coil. Now is the. Here's how to make a coil gun, in this case using an electric fly swatter/bug zapper for the power supply. This video was made possible in part by these Patr.
This tutorial will show you how to make a coil gun. This coil gun does work but is VERY weak. It does shoot, but not very far ft. I mainly made it to see if the charging circuit works. PARTS: 1 disposable camera- you can get them from places that develop pictures.
I used gauge wire. This is where the screwdriver can come in handy. If you don't know where to touch it look in the pics. This will create a large spark. Solder one wire to pin 3 and solder a new wire to pin 2. You will need to remove all metal on that part and solder a wire to the points so it will always be on. Now is the hardest part to me Get the magnet wire and tape some of the wire down 30mm from the end of the pen and start wrapping the the wire as tight as you can for 30mm.
Stop at 30mm and start winding back on your coil but do not change direction, either clock-wise or counter-clockwise. I made layers of coils just for testing.
Solder 1 wire to each wire on the coil. On one of the wires you soldered to the coil solder the momentary push-button.
Solder the wire from the capacitor to the push-button. Solder the other wire on the capacitor to the coil and you're done! This is normal. Once the light on the board is fully lit up, turn off the switch, push the push-button and it will shoot. I want to make a new coilgun with a capacitor bank and gauge wire. I want to use photo-flash capacitors you find in disposable cameras. A good suggestion would be to use several of those capacitors in parallel. The magnetic field strength is directly proportional to the current running through the coil, and capacitors in parallel produce greater current.
Also, use a thyristor or any high power mosfet switch to activate the coil as not to ruin any components.
Will a coil like this.. Made from insulated wire.. Work in place of magnetic wire? Do i need to coil more wire? And, to increase electromagnets' strength, can a piece of aluminum foil be wrapped below the coil on the pen tube??
Reply 5 years ago. Had to wait a month or so since they were from china though. Can you send me the detailed information of this construction? I also plan to make a coilgun like this but mine will be v and portable. Oh and is a v coilgun powerful enough? Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Because the strength of a magnetic field is determined by the current not the voltage, I would recommend putting multiple capacitors in parallel.
I really like your coilgun! Maybe you consider to make it more powerful. I have also made a coilgun for a science project and I have done a lot of measurings.
The best is to make windings windings each layer, about 10 layers.. That's a lot i know :P and you'll also need 5 flash capacitors. Anyone know how to wire ten of these fuji chargers in parallel? How many volts from the batteries could it handle before it fried? This could save a lot of dough on expensive batteries Reply 8 years ago on Introduction. You should be able to remove the capacitor from the board and put the ones you have in there.

I wouldn’t even do the Alay Lakad if it weren’t for you. Remember when we actually planned to do it with JM and he decided to back out last minute? We actually devised another plan just for it to push through. We decided to do it by bike to solve our problem of going home. I’ve already shared to you how it’s hard for me to see in the dark even with light on yet you still managed to borrow my bike light. Remember when the two of us decided to go and leave the others behind and how it was so dark even with our lights with us because there were no street lights? I almost knocked other people down because of how blind I was that night. Remember when we waited for one another as we climbed those steep slopes because it was really a struggle? Remember when the group decided to eat at the Lugawan and you made fun of me when I told you I was on a diet after I didn’t finish my meal? Looking back, that’s our rapport as friends. We irritate one another as much as we could. That’s our friendship.
Our long ride that last Thursday of July tested me and whether my trainings for the past weeks worked. Our route was Bitukang Manok or the Old Zigzag Road in Quezon National Forest Park. Sa Pagbilao pa lang ay pagod na ako. Akala ko ay hindi ko kakayanin ang ilang ahon. Nakailang pahinga tayo kasi sobrang nakapapagod talaga. Iba pa rin talaga kung sanay ka sa long ride. After that agonizing climb at the base of Bitukang Manok, pedaling was very stiff, we made it to the top. We were already tired so both of us got left behind by our two companions. We rested for a bit because the actual zigzag road is next for climbing but you told me that it’s much better than climbing the base. Mas madali, yan ang sinabi mo. There were two curves to climb before the beautiful view of the park but this time, it’s less stiff when you pedal so it’s not much of a struggle. Nauna kang pumadyak papunta sa unang liko at ako naman, itinulak ko na lang kasi natakot ako kasi puro bangin ang gilid ng kalsada. While we were at the first curve, you encouraged me to try because the climb is not that hard as before so going to the second curve, I did. There, we rested again, and you decided that you don’t want to proceed anymore even though we were being called by our biker friends to go to them. I was having a hard time in deciding whether I would go or stay with you. But ultimately, I did go because it was my first time going there and I want to have a good picture of the place as a remembrance of that ride. With much persuasion, sumunod ka naman sa amin sa taas.
It’s been a year since that very first day I saw you. It’s been a year since I had my first bike ride in the Tayabas – Calumpang – Lucena route. It’s been a year since that exhausting yet satisfying bike ride when I climbed the steep slopes of Tayabas I thought I never could. I hate steep slopes especially the uphill ones. Ayoko sa mga ahon. Takot akong umakyat. Nakapapagod kasi at hindi din ako sanay pa noon. But that late afternoon ride gave me one of the best bike rides of my life. I learned how to shift gears. I learned where the best Pansit Habhab is located in Tayabas. I learned to control my speed on a downhill slope. I learned how to appreciate uphill climbs to get to the top where the best view is. I learned a lot that afternoon but the most important thing to remember is that I met you.

The Copernicus Digital Elevation Model now available via our EO viewer
As of June 28, 2021 you can access the Copernicus Digital Elevation Model via our Terrascope services. The Copernicus Digital Elevation Model is a pixel-based modelled representation of the Earth's surface, including buildings, infrastructure, and vegetation. Each pixel represents a specific elevation value. These three-dimensional (3D) representations of the Earth's surface are essential for disaster risk management. Think about mapping and assessment of disasters as well as for preparing, responding to, and preventing disasters.
After releasing the Copernicus Digital Elevation Model (DEM) GLO-90 in December 2019, ESA also confirmed the extension of the access rights of the 30 meter dataset (GLO-30) by the end of 2020 hereby confirming that the dataset will be openly available to any registered user.
As assigned Copernicus Collaborative Ground Segment entity for Belgium and proud member of Copernicus Relay and Copernicus Academy we are pleased to share these datasets via our EO viewer. This DEM is derived from an edited DSM called WorldDEMTM. The WorldDEMTM product is based on radar satellite data acquired during the TanDEM-X mission, funded by a public-private partnership between the German state, represented by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and Airbus Defence and Space.
Originally, the Copernicus DEM is delivered in 3 different instances, named EEA-10, GLO-30 and GLO-90, which have different resolutions, different geographic extents and different formats. Within Terrascope, we provide access to the two publicly available versions of the Copernicus DEM, GLO-30 and GLO-90.
- GLO-90 provides global coverage at 90 meters
- GLO-30 provides limited global coverage at 30 meters because a small subset of tiles covering specific countries have not yet been made public by the Copernicus program
Note that in both cases oceans have no tiles, there one can assume height values equal to zero. The data are provided as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs.

Laramie, Wyo – Record prices for diesel fuel may cause smaller trucking companies to file for bankruptcy.
According to the Energy Information Administration, a gallon of diesel in the Rocky Mountain Region now averages 3 dollars and 70 cents. Nationwide, the price per gallon has hit records nearly every day in recent weeks.
Shelia Foertsch of the Wyoming Trucking Association says that's bad news for the industry.
"After huge increases in fuel prices, bankruptcy filings for carriers going out of business increases dramatically," she says. "The carriers just can't afford to pay those types of fuel charges."
Industry officials say many carriers have already cut costs as much as they can. Some companies have reduced their maximum driving speeds to 55 miles per hour.

‘Art is the whisper of history, heard above the noise of time’.
As anyone who knows me will know, I have an extreme dislike of any spoilers. I never read any surrounding material of any pop culture. Though I don’t judge a book by its cover, I will rarely read a blurb, as too often it gives too much away. Instead I choose to read the first couple of pages of a book to get a feel for it. This is what I did with Julian Barnes’ latest release, The Noise of Time. This, coupled with the fact that I have fond memories of reading The History of the world in 10 ½ chapters as part of my undergraduate degree, was enough for me to obsess over this book and lovingly stroke the cover whenever I saw it in Waterstones.
Diving into the book, there was a moment shockingly late in the book that I realised that my lack of knowledge about the surrounding intertexts to this work let me down. Embarrassingly it was at the end of the novel that it fully clicked that this novel was based on the true events of Dimitri Shostakovich, a real life composer and not a invention of Barnes’ mind as I had previously thought. Needless to say, I now feel that my knowledge of pre-WW2 Russian Opera composers needs a little work.
The novel itself was intrinsically moving and extremely appropriate for 2017 despite the eras it is set in: 1936, 1948 and 1960. We join Shostakovich as he has a number of conversations with ‘Power’ – the KGB – and how his work is banned and reinstated, as well as the KGB’s puppetry of him over the years. With Russia constantly a fixture in the news today, alongside the almost dystopian present we find ourselves in, this novel was timely and somewhat bleak in how society operates today.
“Not long after his return to Moscow, an article appeared under his name in the magazine New World. Interested to find out what he was supposed to think, he read…”
For much of the book Shostakovich is positioned by the KGB as a parrot of their views, who has a number of different articles written under his name, championing the ideas of those in charge. Given the idea of the ‘freedom of the press’, it casts a shadow of doubt of what place both truth and opinion have in contemporary society today, especially given the proclivity of a certain someone and ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news’.
The life and times of Shostakovich is presented primarily in vignettes, which are almost filmic in their descriptions. Characters fade in and out, accompanied by the soundtrack, Shostakovich’s own operas as they are written, banned and praised as the years go on.
The novel portrays the bleak struggle against oppression of the arts alongside the reign of totalitarianism, something that continues in a small way to this day. Barnes’ writes, ‘who did not grasp the one simple fact about the Soviet Union: that it was impossible to tell the truth here and live’. We live in an era where the news cycle is so vast that, in the words of The X-Files, The Truth Is Out There. But so are lies, slander and the world of ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news’. We are certainly lucky enough to be able to tell our truth and live, but that is precisely the point – truth has become so nebulous and distorted idea in our ‘post truth’ society. How long until we too have to read what we think in the news, or are people already doing just that?

Wife of Invention
Much has been made on the presidential campaign trail about former Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney’s shellacked locks and the pricey trims of former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.). But now lady politicos may have a new best friend, and this one with a Senatorial pedigree: the “Blo & Go.”
[IMGCAP(1)]The product, which is being promoted by Minnesota Republican Sen. Norm Coleman’s wife, Laurie, makes getting that perfect blow-out possible without a trip to a salon. A former runway model, Laurie Coleman came up with the idea after rigging a clothes hanger on doors to hold her hair dryer and free up her hands for styling when she attended auditions. The device, which went on the market last week for $19.99, has a base that sticks onto any flat surface with a bendable arm to hold a hair dryer in place, leaving users’ hands free to create a flawlessly coiffed hairdo.
Four years in the making, Coleman says the product is perfect for political women on the go. “You have 45 minutes and you have to be down and ready for a dinner,” says Coleman of traveling with her husband on official business. “It absolutely comes in handy. Otherwise, you get out of the shower and your hair is completely wet.”
The product has its own infomercial and Web site, bloandgo.com, and Coleman says she’s hoping to garner mass-market sales. As a first-time inventress, Coleman is adding another line to an already eclectic résumé that includes acting stints along with modeling and being a political spouse.
While Coleman says the invention is largely directed at females, she coyly admits her husband just may have used the Blo & Glo a time or two. “He doesn’t really blow his hair out,” Coleman says of her supportive hubby. “I do keep mine up. He may have turned it on to run his fingers through.”
Tina Who? News that former New Yorker editor Tina Brown would pen a tome on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) caused a big stir in publishing circles last week. But HOH hears that the reaction in Clinton’s camp to Brown’s planned “Clinton Chronicles” was more of a yawn than a gasp.
One Clintonite tells HOH that the folks around the Senator and presidential candidate are planning to give the author just as much access as they did most previous authors of books on the same topic — exactly zero.
“Another day, another book,” the Clinton-o-phile says.
Authors like Ed Klein, Jeff Gerth, Sally Bedell Smith and Carl Bernstein have been there, done that on the subject of Clinton.
And another reason HOH suspects those in Hillary-land are shrugging: Brown’s book is set to debut in 2010, safely after the presidential election they’re hoping their boss wins.
Don’t Bet On It. Please? They haven’t even been elected to Congress yet, but two Democratic House candidates already have one old saw of Hill life down pat. Darcy Burner, the Democratic candidate in Washington’s 8th district, and Marge Krupp, the Democratic candidate in the Wisconsin’s 1st district, have entered into one of those clichéd, cutesy wagers for which (usually elected) Members are so famous, this one on the outcome of Saturday’s Seahawks-Packers playoff game.
The stakes, too, couldn’t be any cheesier: a slab of Wisconsin cheese versus a week’s supply of Seattle coffee.
Putting on her political analyst hat, HOH would think aspiring Members would be running on a platform of bringing change to Washington. Cliched sports bets involving hometown foodstuffs? They’re another example of Beltway business as usual.
Holy Cow, That’s a Fight. Two Republicans vying to replace former Speaker Dennis Hastert aren’t just slinging the usual mud at each other — they’ve turned to cow pies.
Illinois state Sen. Chris Lauzen’s campaign started the brawl with a direct-mail piece depicting dead cows, an homage to opponent Jim Oberweis’ dairy operation, and telling readers about a $21,000 Federal Election Commission penalty the Oberweis campaign incurred in 2004 after Oberweis appeared in a TV ad for his dairy company while campaigning for office.
The Oberweis campaign didn’t take the attack sitting down. Instead, it put its best, er, hoof forward. “I’ve seen cow chips that looked better. And by the way, seeing as how there’s not an udder among the ‘cows’ pictured on that mail piece, it is clear that they are — like the piece itself — all BULL,” responded a fictitious spokescow named Mary R. Holstein in a cheeky release last Thursday.
The response was the brainchild of Oberweis spokesman Bill Pascoe, who says he just couldn’t resist the bovine puns. So far, the Lauzen campaign hasn’t responded, he says (and didn’t return HOH’s phone call either). “Do you come back with a spokesbull?” Pascoe joked.

Uncovered this week by Windows Blog Italy, it appears that the Microsoft Health app may get a major update soon. We’ve known that this would happen eventually, but its extra good to see that things are actually still rolling along.
Screenshots of the app are provided in the Windows Blog Italy post. It gives you a good idea of how the app will also change on mobile devices, considering this uncovered version is intended to be used as a cross-device (Universal Windows Platform – UWP) app.
The Windows Blog Italy post is in Italian, but if you want to read it in English use this link (translated by Bing): Exclusive! Microsoft Health preview for Windows 10
Windows Blog Italy has also provided a video walkthrough for the upcoming app:
In addition to a cross-device app, Microsoft has also suggested that a future Microsoft Band will run a version of Windows 10. This could be part of the larger hardware device launch in early 2017 after Redstone is finally released for public consumption.


Natural News) Our sources are now confirming that a guard station outside the White House was torched last night by “rioters.” They’re really communist-led terrorist cells who are probing the White House as part of a sophisticated operation to overrun the property and attempt to assassinate President Trump.
We are also learning that the tech giants — Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, YouTube, etc. — are all-in with the Antifa terrorists, and some platforms are allowing Antifa terror cells to use their online messaging to coordinate acts of terrorism on U.S. soil.
This further demonstrates how the tech giants are enemy combatants actively working to overthrow and destroy the United States of America.
Soon, Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, we’re told, and he will deploy U.S. soldiers on the streets of America to start fighting back against the communist-led uprising that’s being defended by the left-wing media and the techno-fascists.
President Trump needs to immediately declare Antifa a terrorist organization so that law enforcement can get to work fighting back against this communist uprising. America must be defended against the left-wing violence and censorship that are now being deployed as weapons against the United States of America.
It’s time for Trump to deploy the military to seize and shut down all the tech giants and arrest their CEOs and top managers for their acts of treason against the United States of America.
