Life is hard. Shit is confusing and complicated and sometimes it hurts way too much.
I get it. I get it more so than I can even tell you. More than I can put into words.
Because yeah, I’ve had my fair share of heartbreak. Of pain. Of awfulness. And unfortunately for me, most of it was self-inflicted.
Because I didn’t understand. Because I couldn’t. I took shit at face value. I took shit personally. And I kept things way too hidden.
It’s OK to not be OK. We aren’t supposed to be happy all the time and we don’t have to lie about it either. Of course, it’s not that simple. In the heat of the moment or when shit hits the fan, it’s hard to take a step back. It’s hard to see that most of it doesn’t matter and eventually, things will even out. I know it’s hard because, for the longest time, my life sucked. That’s the easiest way to put it. If something didn’t go my way, I’d freak the fuck out. I was constantly trying to find ways to escape.
Like if something bad happened, I had to get high. Hell, even if something good went down, I still had to get high. But no one knew that. I made sure of it. What I’m finding out now is that I’m not alone in this. Because most of the ugly I felt on the inside, most people feel too. We’re just too embarrassed to talk about it out loud. We don’t want to be judged. We want to be liked. Accepted. But what’s the point of being like or accepted if we’re not ourselves?
Exactly. We need to start being ourselves.
We have to stop worrying about what others think of us so much. Be crazy. Be weird. Jack Johnson really said it best. “Everybody thinks that everybody knows about everybody else but nobody knows anything about themselves because they’re all worried about everybody else.” But in order to be yourself, you need a backbone. You have to have thick skin. Self-confidence —something I’ve struggled with my entire life. I could never disagree with anyone. If I did, I imagined he or she would get everyone against me.
Furthermore, I couldn’t admit when I was sad either. But I was never going to get un-sad if I didn’t speak up. If I didn’t get real. Honest. Because no one knows what makes us truly happy other than ourselves. And that’s an important concept to grasp because you will never please yourself if you’re constantly trying to please everybody else. We need to stand up for what we believe in. For what we want. We need to show the world our beauty. Like what makes us unique. Because you are. You’re beautiful. You’re unique. And I mean that in the best way.
Because when you do this —like when you feel good about yourself, you’ll know exactly who you are as a person and those around you will see it too. This should help eliminate the people in your life that don’t compliment the person you want to become. Because you can attract those who do. And it doesn’t matter if someone along the way thinks you’re crazy or weird for putting your soul on display. Because you will get the attention and admiration so many conformists crave. I can promise you that.
But once again, it’s not about them. It’s about you.
Because having the courage to show others just how different you are is what really garners respect. Like not doing what everyone else is doing. Like not being afraid of being liked or accepted. Because yeah, there will always be someone who will try to bring you down. It’s just what they’re really upset about is their failure. Their failure to make you conform to their demands. Besides, those people are most likely already miserable. Because they lack the strength to showcase their individuality like you can.
Because as long as you’re content with yourself, everything else will soon fall into place. I can promise you that too. Because once you find yourself, it makes those moments of temporarily sadness and pain not as bad. Because when you’re confident in yourself, you realize that you can, in fact, overcome anything. So continuing where I last left off, here are five more life lessons I want you to know.
6. Hurt People Hurt People and It’s Not Always About You
People in this world have some serious issues. And, because they don’t deal with those issues, they project them onto you. Period. It really is as simple as that. I’ve been on both ends of this spectrum and this I know from experience: the way others treat you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves —sometimes they justify it, sometimes they blame it on others, and sometimes they don’t even know they’re doing it. I still take way too many things personally, but I’m better than I used to be.
The thing is, when you’re on the receiving end of this type of rhetoric, your sanity depends on not taking offense. Because taking offense is pointless. People will always unconsciously cast projections of their own self-loathing on to others. It’s sort of like a survival mechanism. Because we’re all different; therefore, we act and react to different things —well, differently. Because we all endure our own set of struggles and successes.
Some of us have had life-long stability and some of us haven’t. That I know for sure.
What we don’t know is the depth that these connotations have on each person because like I said, we all have different experiences. At the same time, allowing your ego to get tripped the fuck out when someone projects their word vomit onto you is hard not to do. It’s an ongoing practice of releasing other people’s shit and recognizing your own. On the other hand, if I were to hold up a mirror every time I shun another person or cast blame, chances are the one I’m really angry at is myself.
Mexican author, Don Miguel Ruiz sums this up perfectly in his book The Four Agreements. Basically, he says that we all have invisible wounds. And we’ll do just about anything to avoid them being touched (true). We’ll run as fast as we can from the negative emotions we encounter in ourselves —like how I was constantly trying to escape. Like getting high. Dare someone else accidentally touch our wounds, we act as if they caused them. But, they didn’t cause them, and they cannot heal them (true again).
I know. I know. It’s fucking hard.
Reacting is a million times easier than responding. When we feel attacked, it’s instinctual to put up a wall and fight back. But that’s not a long-term coping strategy. What we need to do is look at the bigger picture. Because when we do, we’ll find empathy. Until then, the hurt just spreads like wildfire with a big old bucket of compassion waiting within us to put that fire out. Just make sure to keep a sense of humor close. Because life can be a great fire extinguisher.
7. Oh, And Don’t Forget That Most of the Weird, Sad or Ugly Things You Go Through, Everyone Else is Too.
No matter where you come from, or how cool you are, we all have our shit. Call it strategy or survival instinct, but we as humans are really good at blending in with the crowd. In looking and sounding normal. As if nothing is wrong. The truth is, most of us aren’t. We’re typically not as happy as we pretend to be. For me, I’d pretend to be OK. I’d smile through the hurt because I thought nobody cared. I thought nobody understood. But those were lies my mental illness fed me. Because everyone experiences some form of pain.
Like when you appear happy to others —literally smiling, while internally suffering is how I’d define it. And since most of us with it don’t even know we have it, smiling depression often goes undetected. Like those hurting usually discount their personal feelings. Because the smile and external façade is merely a defense mechanism, an attempt to hide how we truly feel. Most of us do this because we’re afraid to be called “weak.” That’s not true. You’re not weak. So don’t feel embarrassed about it because chances are, someone else out there is going through the exact same thing.
Let’s get honest instead.
8. In Fact, You Should Be Awkwardly Honest. People Love Raw Honesty.
This is new to me. For the longest time, basically my entire life minus five years ago, I lied. I lied about everything. Even stupid shit no one lies about. Except, I’m slowly learning, I really wasn’t trying to mislead anyone intentionally. I was merely lying to myself. Because I could never be my true authentic self. Because I didn’t even like myself. But today I do and I see it all so clearly. I guess this is what we call hindsight. Because it really is 20/20. And honesty isn’t just about telling the truth.
It’s about getting real with yourself. It’s being real with others about who you truly are, what you want and what you actually need to live your most authentic life. Because there’s no point in anything else. Because honesty promotes openness. It will bring you closer to those around you. It also empowers us. It sharpens our perception and allows us to observe shit with way more clarity. In short, it cuts through the red tape.
Because honest intentions in speech and action gain the respect of others.
People say they like me these days because I’m honest. Like if I’m in a social setting and it feels a little awkward, I’ll say it. I call myself out. I own it. But when I look back, like every time I lied (that I can recall), I realize that I was trying to excuse or misrepresent my own shortcomings. I was trying to over-compensate because I didn’t know who my true authentic self was. I was also afraid nobody would like it. Hell, I didn’t like it.
And it’s because of that, that I was finally able to let the bad shit go. I was able to take a good look in the mirror. I was able to see that I didn’t have to lie anymore. In fact, I never did. Because those in my life who are supposed to be there —like the positive ones, they don’t care either way. And even if they did, it doesn’t matter. Because honesty will help motivate you to become all the good things lying helped you pretend you already were. Because now that I live my true authentic self, I’m fucking free.
9. So Yeah, Let That Shit Go.
I’m not going to lie (haha). I’m a dweller. I was back then and even though I wish I wasn’t, I still am (see —that’s me being honest). Except now, I understand that holding on to pain doesn’t fix anything. Replaying the past over and over again doesn’t make it go away either. And wishing things were different doesn’t actually make things change. In some cases, mostly when it comes to the past, all you can do is accept whatever it is you’re holding on to and then let it go. Because that’s how everything changes.
10. And If You Can’t Forget, I Suggest You Forgive.
I suggest you release whatever it is that’s hurting you. Whoever it is that’s hurting you. That person you think you can’t forgive. Like even if it feels impossible. Because deciding to hold on to whatever it is you’re holding onto will only hold you back from creating a strong sense of self —a self that isn’t defined by anything other than who you want to be. And I want to be free. Because you won’t be free until you forgive. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard this saying before:
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
But it sounds really cool and fits perfectly right here so I’m saying it. I said it. Because it’s true. Forgiving people who wronged us isn’t about them at all. It’s about us. You. Me. Forgiveness means freedom. And don’t you want to be free? So even if it hurts. Even if it feels strange. Even if you think you can’t —you can. I promise you that. We’re all a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Because as cliche as it sounds, we really don’t know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have.
I mean, there were times during my addiction where I thought I was going to die. There were moments when I wish I had. But for whatever reason, I held on. I held on for dear life and kept going. Even though I didn’t want too. Even though I didn’t know where I was going. But now that I’m on the other side, I see everything so clearly. It’s that damn hindsight again. And in a strange, detached way, I’m almost grateful for my rock bottoms. Because I’m a different person these days. And in this case, different means good.
Because I used to care what people thought of me.
I used to be afraid to speak my truth. To disagree. I had to be liked. Accepted. And if I wasn’t, I thought it was something I was doing. As if there was something wrong with me. But that’s not the case. It never was. Because we weren’t created to be the same. We weren’t created to be liked by everyone either. Because no one is you and that is your GOD damn superpower. Because we can’t find peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. So yeah, my life was pretty fucking shitty for a while.
But because I had to go through all that crap (quite literally), I don’t take anything or anyone for granted. I like the life I’ve created. I even like myself. I want you to say the same. Because yeah, I still have flaws. Obviously. Who doesn’t? And yeah, I’m still a little sensitive. I’m working on it though. Because we’re all a work in progress. So be yourself. Don’t hold back. Be absurd. Be weird. Crazy, in fact. And then find someone or a few someones who match yours.
So don’t forget: hurt people hurt people and it’s not always about you. In fact, it usually isn’t. Because most of the weird, sad, and ugly shit we go through —that makes us feel alone, actually bonds us all together. Because everyone else is going through something too. So be honest. Be awkwardly honest. Let that shit go. And forgive. Because how other people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours. Because we’ve been fooled into thinking we need those other people to be happy. We don’t.
Above all though, know who you are and know that’s enough.

Encouraging citizens to invest in renewable energy is helping Eindhoven reach its target of becoming energy neutral by 2045.
With Eindhoven’s goal of becoming energy neutral by 2045, it recognises that getting citizens on board is an important part of the transition. The city is encouraging its citizens to participate in renewable energy cooperatives by supporting these cooperatives and providing information on how they work and how to join.
One successful example in Eindhoven is ‘MorgenGroeneEnergie’ (Green Energy Tomorrow). Founded in 2011 in a neighbouring city, the cooperative has expanded its membership and now covers several neighbouring cities, including Eindhoven. Members produce the energy they consume through small scale renewable energy plants. The profits or margins from the energy production are used to keep members’ energy bills down and fund new renewable energy projects.
Eindhoven works closely with this cooperative to enable its citizens to take an active role in the supply and production of their energy. For example, it offered up the roof of a community centre in the Blixembosch neighbourhood, where residents installed solar panels which could be bought individually to provide households with energy.
Projects are financed by cooperative members, but the city supports the projects by providing public roofs for free and facilitating the sharing of experience. For example, the city financed the production of a manual describing the experiences of the Blixembosch project. Members also benefit from tax reductions for cooperatively produced renewable energy.
The project is an important example of how a city can support and motivate its residents to generate their own sustainable energy with minimal financial input from the city itself. Read more about the project in a CASCADE case study, available here. Links to the various projects are provided in the case study.
A successful global climate deal must recognise the role of cities and urban solutions

as flow separation (English: stable) one designates the separation of the air flow of the surface of a flowed against article in the aerodynamics. In practice under it bearing areas, control surfaces, propeller , rotor blades are or in the engine area also meant compressor blades. It can concern equally the separation of a laminar, and a turbulent current.
flow separation [work on] for flow separation:
- Enlargement of the angle of incidenceup to the value, at which no more lift increase takes place, at which the maximum coefficient of lift approx. max is thus reached, what at approx. 16° angle of incidence happens.
- Increase of the speed at a subsonic profile into the transonic range. This is called in the technical language Highspeed stable.
the consequence is a decrease of the lift (with the propeller: the propulsion).
ThoseEffect of an flow separation depends on the condition of the profile and the bearing area construction. With using and airliners with the construction to a good-natured „stable characteristic “one pays attention, so that when unintentional occurring the stable no abrupt lift decrements arise.
A stable condition, which mostly leads to the crash, is the so-called Deep stable with loss of the elevator effect.
although primarily on the angle of incidence depends, can the occurrence of an flow separation one to this angle in practice a speed assign. The smaller the speed of an airplane becomes, the more must the angle of incidenceare increased, so that the airplane without at height flies to lose straightforward. If one wants besides still without Höhenverlust a curve to fly, the angle of incidence must be increased additionally.
One calls the speed, at which it comes in the straight flight to flow separation, stable speed, or stable speed.If an airplane flies faster than slower with the stable speed, but than with the minimum speed specified by the manufacturer, then it comes into the bag flight. The current at the bearing areas is already turbulent, that lift strongly decreased, the airplane “sags through”. The current is however stillnot completely torn off and the airplane remains controllable - reduced -.
Take-off weight, position of the center of gravity and air temperature have effect on the “stable speed”. Ice beginning at the soil or during the flight at the Flügelvorderkante (this range is completely particularly responsible for the lift development) can lead to unexpected flow separation,since the profile of the carrying or control surfaces concerned changes.
with the Highspeed stable comes it by the training of a shock wave as flow separation behind the shock wave, typical for the transonic speed range. If extremely much energy is not supplied (for example through) this condition is terminated a dive automatically, since the shock wave enormous resistance reduces produced and by it the speed again.
one-sided flow separation
if it in the slow-speed flight by different speeds of the bearing areas (turning flight) at the slower bearing area to a one-sided flow separation comes,this leads to wobbling.
an unintentional flow separation at ground level can have dangers with an aircraft fatal consequences. By the drastically decreased lift and increased air resistance it falls “like a stone” from the sky.
With rotary-wing aircraft (helicopters) flow separation can to a sudden lift decrement at the main or tail rotor lead. Flow separation develops, because the angle of incidence of the rotor blades is too largely selected, for z. B. on overloading of the machine by an overheavy load at the load hook or by wrong flight tactics in the mountains. Only experienced pilots are in the conditions,to master such emergency situations.
intended flow separation
the small lift with torn off current is purposefully used in some cases.
- With hanging gliders and birds a complete flow separation permits a standing landing briefly before the ground contact.
- In the paraglider haven flow separation is a means, over inTo eliminate emergency of linen unions and trailers.
- 3D-Kunstflugfiguren are flown under flow separation.
- The operating parameters of wind energy plants are in such a way laid out that with to high wind velocity the current tears off. Thus the load of the rotor can be limited without adjustment of the rotor blades (Pitchen).

Advantages: only one other like it so unique, beautiful
Disadvantages: not the cheapest
I was very lucky to receive a Pandora bracelet the year before last for my 18th birthday from my Dad and his partner. I got three charms with my bracelet, a dinosaur, a pink glass one and this turquoise enamel charm.
The charm is a simple round bead shape and quite heavy compared to others. It has the usual hole to screw onto the bracelet and the opening of the hole either side is silver and on one side the charms number is engraved here so it's not noticeable when being worn. The charm is a darkish, vivid blue that shines brightly and looks very beautiful; the charm is detailed with a swirly silver pattern repeated four times around the charm. The swirly pattern looks like four comma shapes arranged into a pattern to look like a flower. Personally I think the pattern looks a little gothic against the turquoise colour and is really pretty.
The charm costs £45 which makes is my most expensive charm. I definitely would not choose this myself knowing how expensive but it is very beautiful and worth its price and I love it. I don't often have charms added to my bracelet either, once or twice a year so it makes it more special to me. The charm is very unique as there is only one other that has a pattern like this, the other is purple enemal one, this makes my bracelet more unique and special to me. The charm really stands out on my bracelet with the turquoise enamel and I would recommend it to people who only like a little bit of colour on their Pandora bracelet or who like gothic/dark patterns.
Summary: A beautiful charm that is expensive but worth it.

Artificial intelligence (A.I.) is the interdisciplinary field of research tasked with building and understanding intelligent entities (Russell 2010). But what is intelligence?
Here our answer depends on the research aim. If it is to emulate human-level intelligence, then capacities to learn, comprehend uncertainty and probabilistic information, extract concepts from sensory data and internal states, and engage in logical and intuitive reasoning are likely hallmarks of an intelligent system (Bostrom 2014).
Many of these capacities--particularly in combination--are unnecessary for the design of machines and algorithms with specialized purposes, such as navigating a car down a busy freeway, forecasting crime, composing music, predicting bird migration, and so on. It seems, then, we ought to differentiate two general research programs within the current field of A.I.
On the one hand, there is the effort to (safely) build entities emulating human or even superhuman intelligence. (See the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute.) On the other hand, there is the effort to use and develop computational and mathematical methods for the design of information-processing systems capable of performing specialized 'intelligent' tasks, such as text analysis, image recognition, and complex problem-solving. (Good examples are projects by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Google DeepMind, and Google Brain.) This general research program often goes by the name of 'machine learning' and has been called "the only kind of A.I. there is" (see here).
Machine learning is the project of building algorithms to predict the outcomes of novel scenarios. Engineering an algorithm involves the following basic steps.
Step 1. Obtaining lots of data and splitting the data (~ 70/30) into a 'training' set and 'validation' set. Developing an algorithm based on statistical trends observed in the larger 'training' data set.
Step 2. Testing the algorithm on the 'validation' data set.
Step 3. Balancing the algorithm's predictive accuracy against its interpretability, speed, simplicity, and scalability--all features that factor into the decision to implement the algorithm (Leek 2015).
There are two kinds of machine learning: supervised and unsupervised. Supervised learning teaches the program an accepted classification of data by, in a sense, labelling the training data with the right answer, such as 'this circle is orange' or 'this circle is teal'. In contrast, one uses unsupervised learning when the appropriate classification of the training data is unknown. Here, we may impart to the program a reward system, i.e. 'utility function', that steers the program's decision-making about the data. We may also take an approach known as 'clustering' where the program's goal is not to maximize reward, but to find similarities in the training data that we do not see.
It is arguable to what extent a distinction can and should be drawn between research to build systems with human or superhuman intelligence, and research to develop predictive algorithms, respectively referred to as 'strong' and 'weak' A.I. It may be that the path to 'strong' A.I. is through 'weak' A.I., and so both are really after the same thing. Nevertheless, the distinction is useful for disambiguating the term 'artificial intelligence' and rooting it firmly in a rigorously technical research tradition. 'A.I.' tends to call to mind self-aware killer androids or helper space-bots in a far-off future. At best, this leads to a distorted perception of the field. At worst, this lulls us into viewing the potential outcomes of A.I. research as fanciful science-fiction motifs. Far from it, intelligent systems are poised to precipitate a new era of technological innovation. For this, they demand not only our earnest attention, but also our reflection and critical scrutiny.

A visit to Lexington Virginia will help you discover this city’s history. This independent city has a population of 7,320 people according to the 2020 census. It is also the county seat of Rockbridge County, a separate jurisdiction. Learn about Lexington’s history, culture, and other factors. When considering a vacation to Lexington, make sure to visit this city. You will definitely not regret it. If you’re unsure what to expect, read on to learn more about the area.
Summers are humid and winters are quite cold, but temperatures are pleasantly mild. Temperatures in Lexington range from 28degF to 86degF. The temperature rarely dips below 14 degF or soars above 93 degF. To visit Lexington during the warmest months, early June and early July are ideal. However, there is a small chance that you will experience rain during other months. However, the warmest months are July and August.
If you love the outdoors, Lexington has a lot to offer. The George Washington and Jefferson National Forests are nearby. You can hike the Chessie Trail, which follows the old Cheseapeake & Ohio Railroad bed and features canal towpath. You can also visit Devil’s Marbleyard, which provides stunning natural views. If you love shopping, you can also take in some of the many restaurants in the area. Some of these restaurants even have outside seating.
If you’re looking for something to do during your vacation, you’ll find plenty of outdoor activities in Lexington, Virginia. The city is home to several historic sites and a historic park. The city is also close to popular attractions such as the Richmond Raceway and Kings Dominion amusement park. You can spend the entire day at the park, or you can opt for activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and hiking. And if you’re looking for quiet natural surroundings, you’ll love Fort Chiswell RV Park, which dates back to 1758.
The Lexington area is also rich in history. The town was almost destroyed in 1796 by a fire, and the city was bombarded by Union troops during the Civil War. The town is the burial place of Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee. Historic colleges like Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute were also founded in Lexington. And the city’s modern downtown is a blend of the historic and the modern. You can find trendy boutiques and restaurants along the historic main streets. Many buildings in Lexington are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The average elevation in Lexington is 1,086 feet. The city is characterized by hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters. Lexington is classified as a humid subtropical climate, similar to that of Northern Italy. This classification is reflected on the climate map, where the black line indicates the hours that the Sun is visible. There are color bands that represent the days with the longest daylight and the shortest nights. It is important to note that Lexington experiences daylight saving time.

Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME), also called clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is a process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins – and in some cases viruses – by the inward budding of the plasma membrane (invagination). This process forms vesicles containing the absorbed substances and is strictly mediated by receptors on the surface of the cell. Only the receptor-specific substances can enter the cell through this process.
Although receptors and their ligands can be brought into the cell through a few mechanisms (e.g. caveolin and lipid raft), clathrin-mediated endocytosis remains the best studied. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis of many receptor types begins with the ligands binding to receptors on the cell plasma membrane. The ligand and receptor will then recruit adaptor proteins and clathrin triskelions to the plasma membrane around where invagination will take place. Invagination of the plasma membrane then occurs, forming a clathrin-coated pit. Other receptors can nucleate a clathrin-coated pit allowing formation around the receptor. A mature pit will be cleaved from the plasma membrane through the use of membrane-binding and fission proteins such as dynamin (as well as other BAR domain proteins), forming a clathrin-coated vesicle that then uncoats of clathrin and typically fuses to a sorting endosome. Once fused, the endocytosed cargo (receptor and/or ligand) can then be sorted to lysosomal, recycling, or other trafficking pathways.
The function of receptor-mediated endocytosis is diverse. It is widely used for the specific uptake of certain substances required by the cell (examples include LDL via the LDL receptor or iron via transferrin). The role of receptor-mediated endocytosis is well recognized up take downregulation of transmembrane signal transduction but can also promote sustained signal transduction. The activated receptor becomes internalised and is transported to late endosomes and lysosomes for degradation. However, receptor-mediated endocytosis is also actively implicated in transducing signals from the cell periphery to the nucleus. This became apparent when it was found that the association and formation of specific signaling complexes via clathrin-mediated endocytosis is required for the effective signaling of hormones (e.g. EGF). Additionally it has been proposed that the directed transport of active signaling complexes to the nucleus might be required to enable signaling, due to the fact that random diffusion is too slow, and mechanisms permanently downregulating incoming signals are strong enough to shut down signaling completely without additional signal-transducing mechanisms.
Using fluorescent or EM visible dyes to tag specific molecules in living cells, it is possible to follow the internalization of cargo molecules and the evolution of a clathrin-coated pit by fluorescence microscopy and immuno electron microscopy.
To achieve internalisation of nanoparticles into cells, such as T cells, antibodies can be used to target the nanoparticles to specific receptors on the cell surface (such as CCR5). This is one method of improving drug delivery to immune cells.

Exactly.......I've come to the conclusion that CR should be taken with a grain of salt. In there 2002 issue they recommended the Pathfinder and didn't have nice things to say about the Envoy. Long story short, I bought a Pathfinder then the transfer case had to be replaced and the tranny was going as well. The Pathy was 4yrs old, that thing was a nightmare. Needless to say I bought the TB (what I originally wanted) and haven't looked back.God this reminded me of those pics of the last truck (the envoy denali) going down the assembly line.
Makes me almost wanna cry. So sad. These are awesome trucks. I dont care what consumer reports says :sadcry:

From New Hampshire Fish and Game Department
-- Turkey productivity was average in 2011, according to a report just released by the Fish and Game Department summarizing results of its first-ever wild turkey brood survey.
The effort was accomplished with the help of hundreds of interested people across the state who reported sightings of flocks with young turkeys via an online reporting site this spring and summer. The survey took place from May 15 to Aug. 31.
For the past three years, Fish and Game conducted an online winter flock survey using citizen participation, but this was the first year the public could provide data to help scientists estimate how many young turkeys survive into adulthood in a particular year.
"Our biologists typically survey about 20 broods, but with the help of interested citizens who took the time to report their sightings, we now have data on 800 broods," said Mark Ellingwood, Fish and Game wildlife biologist.
The public reported a total of 808 turkey broods, comprised of a total of 1,476 adult hens and 7,076 chicks and poults. The overall average brood count was 4.8 poults per hen.
Hatching success and survival of turkey poults was moderately good during 2011, according to the report. Rain was a big factor, with an abundance of precipitation from April through September. Fortunately, the critical hatching time for turkeys, which occurred from May 25 through June 7 this year, turned out to be a period of hot, muggy days.
Weather during the peak hatching time has a big effect on the number of young turkeys that survive to adulthood. Young turkeys are extremely sensitive to cool temperatures and rain, which can affect their health and reduce insect populations that are a critical source of nutrition. Since spring weather is highly variable, survival of the annual hatch of wild turkeys is also uncertain.
Turkey populations depend on a large annual influx of young turkeys to sustain themselves over time. Thus, the number of young turkeys that survive to be recruited into the adult population is of great interest to turkey managers. A large sample of turkey brood observations collected throughout the summer can provide turkey managers with insight into the size of turkeys that will become adults. This explains why turkey managers throughout the country incorporate information from brood surveys into management programs.
"It's encouraging so many people took time to participate in our turkey brood survey," Ellingwood said. "This survey expands the data we have to inform our management decisions and gives citizen conservationists a chance to contribute to our efforts."
New Hampshire has an estimated population of about 40,000 wild turkeys. A winter flock survey starts in January, and next year's turkey brood survey kicks off in mid-May.
A summary of survey results may be viewed on the Fish and Game website at http://www.wildnh.com/turkeybroodsurvey.

The Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu (storm
dragon) was designed early in 1938 to
replace the JAAF's successful Mitsubishi
Ki-21 heavy bomber which, in
fact, was only just entering service with
sentais based in China and Manchuria,
Later code-named 'Helen', the Nakajima
Ki-49 was a workmanlike design
but was destined to be just not good
enough for the conditions prevailing
over the various fronts in 1942, when
the initial production Ki-49-I (Army
Type 100 Heavy Bomber Model 1)
started operations with the 61st
Hikosentai in China. Production was
preceded by the flight of the first prototype
in August 1939, powered by two
708kW Nakajima Ha-5 KAI
radiais: the more powerful 932kW Ha-41 radial engines were
installed in pre-production versions,
and in the Ki-49-I bomber. In appearance
the 'Helen' was deceptive in size,
for it appeared to be a comparatively
large aircraft because of its proportions:
actually, its dimensions were
similar to those of the Lockheed Hudson.
However, a crew of seven or eight
was crammed into the narrow fuselage.
In the spring of 1942 the usual
steps were taken to increase performance,
protection and defensive firepower.
The Nakajima Ki-49-IIa (Army
Type 100 Heavy Bomber Model 2A),
the first of the new series, was powered
by two Nakajima Ha-109 radial
engines with increased ratings. The
aircraft was fast, well protected by 5mm armour plating and
rubberized fuel cells, and heavily
armed. The Ki-49-IIb was upgunned
with 12.7mm Ho-103 machine guns.
Both the Ki-49-IIa and Ki-49-IIb
were in action with the 7th and 61st
Sentais based in China in the summer
of 1942, and made many attacks on
Chungking and air bases of General
C. L. Chennault's China Air Task Force.
'Helen' bombers equipped the 12th
Sentai, based at Medan and Sabang
(Sumatra) under the 3rd Air Army, and
these attacked objectives in Burma
and eastern India, joining Ki-21s on
some occasions in raids on Calcutta. In
1943 the Ki-49s of the 7th and 61st Sentais,
now operating from Timor, attacked
Darwin to face strong reaction by
the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vs of
No.1 Fighter Wing. Units equipped
with Ki-49s suffered most in New
Guinea, where 4th Air Army came
under constant attack on its airfields at
Wewak, But and Dagua after August
1943, when the RAAF and the US 5th
Air Force went onto the offensive. Six
Ki-49-III bombers, powered by very
potent 1805kW engines,
were built as prototypes. Other
variants produced in experimental
form were the Ki-58 escort fighter, and
the Ki-80 escort bomber. Total production
amounted to 819 aircraft. After action
in the Philippines in 1944, Ki-49s
were used with increasing frequency
on suicide missions.

The Japanese called this a "heavy" bomber, by western standards it would be just about a medium bomber. The concept was for a fast heavily armed, armoured bomber which could reach targets without escort. Hopelessly under powered it failed in it's "raison d'etre" and fell easy prey to Allied fighters. So overall not a great success.
|Hiroyuki Takeuchi, 23.03.2012|
Undoubtedly, the aircraft outperformed the Ki21, but not to the extent that it improved the survivability of the bomber against full on attacks by enemy fighters. On the other hand, the Ki49 were harder to fly and engines were less reliable, causing more non-combat losses.
So as far as the bomber crews were concerned, they could expect longer lives on a Ki21 because there was less chance of accidents and if they were met by a formation of P-47s they were going to get shot down regardless of whether they were on a 21 or a 49.
Did japan ever have a significant number of bombers carrying more than 1 ton.
Nakajima Ki-49 Donryu
Have heard mixed reviews about this one. Some sources say it was a mediocre aircraft surpassed in some ways by the Ki-21 it was designed to replace. Is this actually true? The performance specs seem to say otherwise. Light bomb load, though. Did japan ever have a significant number of bombers carrying more than 1 ton?
Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?

The application of the Bible to moral and ethical issues has been a source of contention through the history of the Christian church. Scripture has been used in support of both sides of varying issues, to support political agendas, to tear apart denominations. With Imitating Jesus Richard Burridge takes a closer look at New Testament ethics and how they play out in various issues, most specifically examining apartheid in South Africa during the twentieth century. First, Burridge approaches the development of New Testament ethics from what he considers its foundational level - the deeds and words of Jesus, his life, death, and resurrection. Next he moves on to the exploration of how Christ affected Paul by examining the apostle's letters. He here finds Paul's underlying Christological understanding which supports his theology and writing. Following this, Burridge delves into each of the four gospels, following the same Christological analysis as he uses for both Jesus and Paul. Finally, he brings the conclusions of all this study to examine the contemporary example of how the ethical material in the New Testament was used in South Africa to justify and support apartheid. It is by undertaking such an exhaustive process and applying it to a modern test case that Burridge is able to provide answers for what ethical material the New Testament does contain and how we may use that, if at all, in following and imitating Jesus today.
In contrast to many studies of New Testament ethics, which treat the New Testament in general and Paul in particular, this book focuses on the person of Jesus himself. Richard Burridge maintains that imitating Jesus means following both his words ? which are very demanding ethical teachings ? and his deeds and example of being inclusive and accepting of everyone.
Burridge carefully and systematically traces that combination of rigorous ethical instruction and inclusive community through the letters of Paul and the four Gospels, treating specific ethical issues pertaining to each part of Scripture. The book culminates with a chapter on apartheid as an ethical challenge to reading the New Testament; using South Africa as a contemporary case study enables Burridge to highlight and further apply his previous discussion and conclusions.

Might be an active Hurricane season coming up according to a study just published:
“The Earth’s jet streams, the high-altitude bands of fast winds that strongly influence the paths of storms and other weather systems, are shifting–possibly in response to global warming. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution determined that over a 23-year span from 1979 to 2001 the jet streams in both hemispheres have risen in altitude and shifted toward the poles. The jet stream in the northern hemisphere has also weakened. These changes fit the predictions of global warming models and have implications for the frequency and intensity of future storms, including hurricanes.
[…]Jet streams twist and turn in a wide swath that changes from day to day. The poleward shift in their average location discovered by the researchers is small, about 19 kilometers (12 miles) per decade in the northern hemisphere, but if the trend continues the impact could be significant. ‘The jet streams are the driving factor for weather in half of the globe,’ says Archer. ‘So, as you can imagine, changes in the jets have the potential to affect large populations and major climate systems.’
Storm paths in North America are likely to shift northward as a result of the jet stream changes. (emphasis added) Hurricanes, whose development tends to be inhibited by jet streams, may become more powerful and more frequent as the jet streams move away from the sub-tropical zones where hurricanes are born.
The observed changes are consistent with numerous other signals of global warming found in previous studies, such as the widening of the tropical belt, the cooling of the stratosphere, and the poleward shift of storm tracks. This is the first study to use observation-based datasets to examine trends in all the jet stream parameters, however.”

Last week went well. Very well. I got the week's work finished (and paid!) on Thursday and got the early bus home. So I was feeling pretty chipper at Wintervals on Thurs eve with the lads, although it is always a session to leave you whipped and gasping on the damp sod of Arthur's Seat. Graham suggested he was doing a longish run on Saturday and that I might like to come along. The early start was discouraging but he sent me an email with maps and I was unable to resist the lure of 40 miles snaking north along valleys from Blair Atholl to Kingussie. I wasn't familiar with the route but a glorious (if chilly) forecast sealed the deal. Graham was waiting outside my front door at 5.58am.
Trusting the nav to Nasher my only homework had been to establish where the war memorials were at either end of our run. At 7.25 we parked up between the station and the Atholl Arms directly across the road from the WW1 memorial which looks like a petrified tree trunk but is a giant rock. All we needed to do now was to run 30+miles and March's Tynecastle Bronze was in the bag. We didn't even need the one in Kingussie which was on Station Rd and presumably within sight of where we would be catching the 4.47pm train back to the car.
Gregor and Steven arrived in Steven's van and we all set off. Graham had done sections of this run but not linked it all together. The route was largely to run North for about 20 miles then turn slightly left and run North West for another 20. The only downside was the wind was from the North. I had hoped that we would be sheltered from the wind by the hills either side of us. I think if we had realised the hills would act like a wind tunnel so we had to shout over the howling gale at times, we would have caught the first train North and run back the way. After a while it eased off or we got accustomed to it. Despite Gregor not wearing gloves in the photo below it was defo gloves and hat weather. Unlike the other 3, I was wearing shorts, not being a huge fan of running in tights. Again, if I had known what lay ahead I might have opted for more leg cover.
Steven, Graham, Gregor
The weather was what made the day. We certainly had moments of grey clouds and showers of sleety snow but they were few and far between and the wind kept them moving along. The majority of the day was as advertised - blue skies and sunshine. Hallelujah!
where eagles dare
The first dozen miles were up a valley with impressive hills either side, before it opened out and became more like a plateau or flood plane. Most of the going was really good easy running on landrover trails, with sections of thinner tracks lightly dusted with snow and ice that you had to be careful on.
Very picturesque bridge around 13 miles
Looking back the way we came.
The route had climbed slowly and as we ascended there was more snow cover.
On the plus side the snow was recent and there wasn't ice on top which made it okay for running.
It was turning into a magnificent run and I was taking loads of photos. Around 16 miles Steven let us know he was tired and preferred to turn around, happy to do 32+ rather than 40. Although he had issues I think he was mainly just tired from the early start and a snooze by the bridge on the return would suggest this was the case. I was very glad I had got Friday off and had spent much of it catching up with sleep and preparing for an early rise. We were sorry that Steven was feeling below par but given what was to come it was a propitious move. And he would be travelling downhill with the wind to his back.
About 17 miles there was the ruin of this hunting lodge. Given the snowy surroundings it felt very remote, but we were still running along landrover trails. Presumably the ones along which were brought the construction materials for this building originally. We sat with our backs against the supported wall out the wind and had sandwiches/lunch. Fuelling is very important on longer runs and I had been eating bits of sports bars and flapjacks (and Double Deckers - see Mary's Blog) from before we set off.
Some fast running on broad trails after lunch before we came to the first big crossing without a bridge. Wet feet were the only option and the snow-melt water as you can imagine was VERY cold. Feet were numb and you were running on your ankles as Gregor said, for a few hundred yards until the feeling came back.
I think this marked the point at which we turned left (North West). The trails were fine and broad for a few miles then, just as we could see the ruins of another lodge, we veered right and up a small trail. This was about 21 miles and the next four were about as bad as bad can get.
Still great fun at this point.
The snow hid the path and we were never terribly sure if we were on it or not. We were travelling in the right direction but it was several miles of very hard going. After being reduced to a walk, a foot would go through a yard of snow and you had to crawl out on hands and knees with a wet foot where it found the stream below. First time was amusing. 18th time less so. Snow storms swirled around to add to the threatening atmosphere and the banter stopped as we retreated into our internal worlds. Gregor said his heart rate monitor showed he was working as hard over this ground as when running. Except instead of 8 minute miling we were 25 minute miling. All of a sudden the prospect of catching the 4.47 train seemed less in the bag than before. The next train after was 7.40, and we didn't know how many miles of struggle lay ahead. Most of this unspoken, but there was a tension in the air. Heads down and exhausting high knee stepping through the interminable snow.
across the Siberian Tundra we spotted a herd of deer
They saw us and legged it, although when we passed by where they had been (a thousand hoof prints in the snow) there was a strong goaty-horsey smell. There were accusations and denials.
Some bits were terrific and the pace would pick up then the 4" deep snow would turn into 18" deep stuff and we would be reduced to a walk. It was an amazing landscape to be in. And I was very glad there was no ice crust to skin shins and knees. The Hoka trail shoes I was wearing (Challenger ATRs) were great and I suspect the extra width of the soles, like snow shoes, gave me an advantage over the other 2. Graham did just about all of the trail breaking. Sometimes we would follow in his footsteps other times they were so deep it was just as easy to go to one side. However we would get a warning of where the deepest bits were and try to go round when Nasher went up to his waist. I tried to stay positive; thinking how it was an excellent workout. But we were all very ready to get back to the better trails beyond by the time we got to the bridge at the far end of the section. I think we might have been walking in deep stuff for 90 minutes or more, I kind of lost the will to live and remember it.
right leg disappears into the snow
yes and I am wearing shorts
towards the end of the ordeal
We saw a couple of Mountain Hares - the first shot off at 90mph before I could get the camera out. The second, above, when it saw us, lowered its ears. Much preferred tactic.
Graham was navigating possibly using his phone and/or his previous route file. It was very impressive to hear him say the bridge should be 100 yards over to our right and when we climbed over the snowy hill sure enough there was the bridge. It was good to know that if we were going to die at least we'd know the exact spot. I had hoped the snow would thin out after the bridge. For a while it was worse then we worked our way onto a broader trail and were past the worst. Great relief, not only to be on a better trail again but to be able to run and warm up. I fell a couple of times around this point - just slight carelessness and possibly mild hypothermia, and so was glad to get going again properly. When I fell the camera popped out the chest strap pocket and into the snow. It got covered in snow a couple of times and I worried it might fritz. However it survived, although a few of the images are a bit blurred from smears on the lens.
This crossing marked the last of the bad terrain. We followed landrover trails for a couple of miles of gradual descent, and much improved running conditions. As we descended the snow cover receded until we came back onto dirt trails with just patches of snow. The snow had been very cushioning and it felt quite different stepping back onto hard pack. After a couple more miles we came to a bothy where we hoped there would be occupants and a roaring fire. There were 4 guys there but they were saving their coal for the evening. They reported the night before had been perishing cold. We could see they had used their resources to carry in booze rather than coal and were perhaps going to rely on internal heating. We ate some more food and then set off on the last 8~10 miles.
There were some really nice forestry trails and some less nice miles. In several places you could see the damage wrought by the winter's rain. Normally the snow would sit on the high ground but being unusually warm the rain ran into the rivers which became torrents and washed away bridges and left rubble strewn along their way. Below (where the walkers are approaching) is a what used to be a stepping stone crossing of a stream that had swollen until it washed away the banks at both sides and left a landslide of rocks we had to cross. Next shot down: a bridge was damaged and the stream took a different course leaving us to wade through the icy water.
We hit various bits of road and trails. The train was 70 minutes away with 7 miles to go. Normally 10min miles would be a doddle but after 8 hrs running it would be touch and go. A fair bit of the running was downhill but there were still fields and rough ground to cross. Every up hill slowed us to worse than 10m/m. Graham and I were out front while Gregor (on antibiotics for his chest and coughing!) was about 60 yards behind. I noticed Graham nimbly jump a low (below knee height) barbed wire fence. I walked up to it then stepped over unable to trust my legs. I had been hating the last mile or 2 and just wanted the journey to end. I couldn't believe there were several more miles and that there was no escape, and in fact we'd have to increase the pace. (You almost always go through these bad patches in ultras.) Then the path we were on went through some trees (below) and for 200 yards it was delightful. Enough to merit getting the camera out and snapping a pic of Graham skipping merrily away through the pines. Maybe it wasn't so bad. We popped out moments later onto a muddy road and over a bridge with just 3 miles left and 27 minutes. Would we be able to manage 9min/miles? Before we had the chance to find out we realised Gregor wasn't behind us. Graham retraced our steps and phoned Gregor while I ducked into the bushes for a toilet break. In an impressively short time Graham established Gregor had dropped back and missed a crucial turn at a cross roads, gone straight on then turned in the wrong direction when he hit the bridgey road. Gregor came back up the road to meet us at the bridge but by that time even on bicycles we wouldn't have made the train.
We ran on for a bit then after clocking 40miles-and-change on Gregor's Sunnto we walked and called up Steven. He had texted earlier to say he had made it back to Blair Atholl. We volunteered him to drive up the road and meet us at the chip shop, Kingussie. Which he, god bless him, did. Saving us from a 2.5hr wait on the next train. He drove us back down the road to Blair Atholl (after a chip supper) where I put everything I was wearing into a bin bag and changed into marvellously dry and warm clothes. The drive back to Edinburgh whizzed by and I even had the energy after dumping all my kit indoors, to go across the road and pick up a bottle of beer. It tasted super fabulous while I uploaded all the photos from the day.
Huge thanks to Graham for looking after us so well and planning a brilliant adventure. One of the best ever long days out and exactly the sort of "running" I am more drawn to these days. So much more rewarding than, for instance, running round Callander Park for 50 minutes with 500 other dudes. Although at times it nearly felt a little too adventurous; 20 miles from civilisation and something like a broken ankle could have resulted in a helicopter rescue, or worse. However we all survived and had a tremendous day out. The only regret I have is I forgot to get a team shot of us all looking heroic. Which we certainly were!
On the way to the chip shop, Kingussie.
Well, it was cosier in Steven's van.
Unfortunately the Garmin stopped recording for 3 miles, possibly a fall knocked it off. I noticed at the Bothy and put it back on. It did record nearly 39 miles in 7.5 hrs although it admits the elapsed time was 9.32, and so we probably did nearer 42. The three slowest miles were around 20minutes each. Gregor said his Suunto suggested he burned 4500 calories.
