Last week I saw a tweet that linked to the following blog http://www.ncs-tech.org/?p=3087. On the blog was a downloadable ppt presentation that shows 38 interesting ways to use your IWB.
I had seen this before but having not really looked into using SMART software on my IWB didn't take too much of it in. However, over the past few weeks I have been using the SMART software a fair bit and am really liking the effect it is having in my lessons and the reaction of my students when I use a new 'trick' or tool on the IWB slides I have prepared - it still amazes them that I can magically make the answers appear by just rubbing the board (deleting the white text I have over the answers).
So, having re-read the ppt presentation on the above blog I decided to take a look at creating a 'pull tab' #17 on the presentation (slide 17 of 58).
Pull tabs allow you to group together a 'tab' (picture/shape) and a set of text. The shape/picture is then placed at the very side of the slide (with the text out of view). The picture/tab can then be dragged into the centre of the slide, with the grouped text to reveal hidden information. I decided to use this with my learning objectives and made a tab and copied this onto each slide of my presentation. I then was able to drag across the learning objectives at various stages of my lesson to refer back to what we should be learning and to do some AfL as to whether we had met certain objectives at stages of the lesson. It worked really well and there was, again, an 'Oooooo' factor from the class when I first dragged the learning objectives across.
To create the pull tab I:
created a semi-circle shape & put some text saying 'learning objectives' over it
typed in the learning objectives (the text to be hidden)
created a rectangle, with line colour set to white and filled this in with white too. I then sent the rectangle behind the text and then grouped the semi-circle, text and white rectangle together.
This then ensured that whenever I dragged the LOs across they entered over the existing info on the slide.
Here's some print screens of my first pull tabs...

Once upon a time I spent two years in Cape Town. Just a nineteen year old know nothing boy, off to the other side of the world, to pastures new and all that. I can’t deny I didn’t have a blast, because I did. The experience changed me, opened my mind up to the bigger world, and when I came home back to the UK I like to think I was a better person for the experience.
A few years later I decided to write about my time over there but I was unsure how I should start the book. There needed to be conflict from the off, conflict for the protagonist to overcome, and that came in shape of a relationship which had run it’s course. Now I remember really enjoying writing those first few chapters because they were fiction, made up, fun to write and set the scene perfectly (guy not enjoying his life, wants to leave it all behind and if offered the chance to do so).
Well aware I was basing this story upon my own life, there was of course the other side to that coin in the disgruntled girlfriend I was leaving. Now in real life things didn’t go down quite like I depicted in Checking Out, but why would they? I am a fiction writer, making shit up is what I love to do. The main character Rob, yes shares my name but he too is a character. I never kept a detailed diary of the two years I spent in Cape Town, innermost thoughts, worries, dialogue and all, so I had to make it all up. I know right, shock, horror, the cheek of it, making stuff up in a fictionalized account of a point in my life, how ever am I going to look myself in the mirror?
So the story goes, Rob hates his job, hates where he lives, hates his girlfriend, and wants to leave. In real life I didn’t hate my job at the time, it was the first time I had lived away from my parents so even though it was a shit stained flat on a shit stained council estate, I didn’t care because I was nineteen and I wasn’t living at home. The girlfriend thing was very off and on from what I recall, but then again it may not have been that bad really, it was a long time ago and it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is the STORY, and character Rob having this conflict in his life certainly makes for better reading than loving his life and then on a whim leaving the life that he loves to fuck often thousand miles away. It would make no sense and there wouldn’t be a story.
When written, the book came in at 178,000 words. A ridiculously large amount of waffle even for me, and I did what I would always do back then when finishing a book, I’d say ‘well done Rob,’ (that’s me, the real Rob, not the fictionalized character in this book) and I would start writing the next one.
Checking out remained hidden away on my computer for ten years. Then one day I e-dusted it down (with my e-feather duster) and published it on Amazon. I’d like to say it set the world on fire but more people bought e-tumbleweeds than this e-book, and that’s ok, I had no clue what I was doing, I didn’t know about author platforms, marketing, being able to speak to you, my reader like this, social media, yada, yada yada. I put the book to the back of my mind and didn’t think about it for a number of years until I had published three other novels, had built my own website, was generating a small following, and was half way through writing my fourth novel.
One day, on a whim, I made a list of all my half finished and once published but hadn’t done anything with them for ages manuscripts, and Checking Out waved hello at me. By now I had a few people enjoying my scribbles and wasn’t sure whether they would enjoy this semi-auto biographical yarn and so I emailed my peeps and asked them.
This was just off the back of the successful launch of my novel Barman, and so there was much love in the air towards me from my readers, and I gotta say, my apprehensions about republishing Checking Out were trodden into the ground. I decided this time around to cut the huge manuscript into four novellas, giving part 1 away for free so my readers could decide if they liked the story before committing. I then went back to writing Escorting Eric and released each novella month after month, not really thinking about it too much.
A few weeks after the release of part 1 I received an email from a reader saying how much they enjoyed Checking Out part 1 and had signed up to receive part 2 for free as part of an incentive I had been running. Similar emails found their way to my inbox and when Checking Out part 1 reached number 1 in Amazon’s humour charts I thought yeah, ok, I made the right decision to re-release this book.
Reviews for the most part were positive, people appeared to be enjoying this little tale based upon a time in my life which I will always hold dear, and all was good in the world, I continued to make shit up and write it down, peace, harmony…and then this morning happened.
Now, I wasn’t going to write this blog post (I am the most reluctant of bloggists anyway) but it pissed me off a little and so here we are, and this is what pissed me off:
ByWas once a friendon 10 January 2017
If I could have given It a zero I would have. Childlike writing style, pathetic attempt to gain the readers compassion. Not to mention it isnt actually based on factual accounts. I was there as we’re many others that are mentioned in this pathetic manuscript. I suggest you start apologising to people you slated. They definitely deserve it.
As for Ruth. She wasn’t and isn’t who is depicted in this “book”. A silly boys fantasy of how things apparently happened. I should know, I knew her then and I know her now.
Yes, yes I know, ‘grow up Rob, it’s a bad review, get over it,’ and you’re right, only I never did grow up. Read the title by ‘Was once a friend’, they’ll tell you. This perpetual Peter Pan is getting shit for a fictionalized account of his life he wrote about over a decade ago and the problem is this person does not understand the difference between fiction and non-fiction. Like I said earlier, when I wrote this book I was writing a story. True there are certain accounts within the pages which are close to what happened, but even those are skewed by pace, characterization, and wanting to tell a more fun story than what actually went down. I’m a story teller. I make shit up and keep my fingers crossed that you like the shit I make.
This former friend who was and still is a friend of a girl who does not star in this novel, needn’t explain that this novel isn’t actually based on factual accounts because, well, there is literally nowhere in any of the four part novella series that states it is.
Was once a friend was there when my character Rob had a blazing row with his girlfriend Ruth, was there when Rob left for Cape Town, was there when he started colle…hang on a minute. Was once a friend shouldn’t have been stalking a fictional character, I’m sure there are laws.
I guess I should apologise to all of the characters portrayed in my novel, to all of you, and not just those in Checking Out, to all the characters I’ve made up over the years, I’m sorry. Every single one of you was in some way based upon someone I have known and I do apologise for having to use real people as a template for your incarnation. Your soul is not your own.
The last bit of this bad review (I don’t think Was once a friend has even read the whole novella series) actually agrees with everything I had just said.
As for Ruth. She wasn’t and isn’t who is depicted in this “book”. A silly boys fantasy of how things apparently happened.
Yes, yes it is true, it’s all true god damn it! Ruth wasn’t and isn’t who is depicted in this “book” (quotation marks, hurtful) because Ruth isn’t real. I promise, she is, as are all of my fictional characters, a figment of my imagination. I may put characters in similar situations to ones I have been through but that does not make the character real, it makes the situation similar.
And finally Was once a friend has only gone and hit the nail right on the head.
Yes this is a silly boy’s fantasy of how things apparently happened. That kind of sums up mine and every other fiction writer’s outlook on everything we write.
So, and I really do mean this…why did I only get one star?
Some people hey? You try your hardest to make stuff up for other people’s enjoyment, and you get these one starers spoiling it for us all.
It could be worse I suppose. In the six months or so Checking Out part 1 has been released over 8000 fantastic readers have downloaded it and many have gone on to read the whole series. I guess the moral of the story here is you can’t please all of the people all of the time, and especially not apparent former friends who believe characters you make up in a story for the purpose of driving said story forward, are real life people. Former friends who care so much about it that they leave shitty reviews on your book page sixteen years after you claim what didn’t happen, didn’t happen.
If you have already given it a go then this maker upererer will you show you undying love if you consider leaving your own review on amazon, itunes, hell scratch it into the park bench if you like, it’s all good. I have only one stipulation though, it must be an honest review, I’ve had my quota of disgruntled bias reviews for the day I’m afraid.

Digital video art piece of timelapse depicting 'Life as a city tree'. This short video sees the a figure in the landscape placing themselves into the ambient city life in Salamanca, Hobart, Tasmania as a city tree. This figure has his trunk and limbs dressed up in LEDs just as the trees do. The final rendering adds the juxtaposing layer of sound which comes from a native forest landscape and is in direct contrast with the very essence of this scene.
The work is intended to ask the viewer to immerse themselves in this scene, a space and place where the trees are passionately regarded as precious piece of the urban landscape, within a community that will fight for their preservation, despite their non-native origins, and ask them to consider why it is that the status we place on these trees should be any different to those residing in our native forests that have just been removed from World Heritage status.

Toledo police unveil camera technology to fight crime
Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:07:11 GMT —
Toledo Police Department is using a new tool to fight crime. It's called the Sky Cop camera system.
says right now 40 of these of cameras are already u
installed in high crime neighborhoods.
The department says the system cost $1.6 million dollars to install.
ut the department is
, they plan to put up 42 more cameras by the new year. At a press conference Thursday afternoon, Police Chief Derrick Diggs along with city leaders say this is proof the city is committed to fighting crime with 21st century technology, "the first thing I said we're going to do is be bold and ambitious. And part of that ambitious plan is to institute what I call intelligent led data driven policing," explains the Chief Diggs.
Some residents like Aaron Cunningham says he likes the system, but hopes the city would go farther,
think you run into problems there.
I mean because if you're going to do something here, I think you have to do it in all the neighborhoods," says Cunningham.
says the plan is to have a total of 150-160 cameras up and running throughout parts of the city.
Here's a list of locations in Toledo where cameras are currently at,
Jefferson & Huron
Washington & Huron
Adams & 17th
Walnut & Michigan

HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College has distributed a record-setting number of Pocket Constitutions as part of its mission to increase constitutional understanding and civic education across the country.
“We’ve seen the number of Pocket Constitution requests increase dramatically this year,” said Bill Gray, chief marketing officer and vice president for marketing. “We are encouraged that schools, legislators, parents, and people of all ages are taking advantage of this free resource.”
The Hillsdale College Pocket Constitution is a small booklet containing the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. These booklets are available for free via an online form or mailed request. The college first printed the Pocket Constitutions in 2011. This year, Hillsdale has sent more than three million Pocket Constitutions to schools, individuals, businesses, and legislators across the nation — a substantial increase from last year’s 863,000.
“I think the increased interest in America’s founding documents is a sign of the times,” Gray said. “People are seeing that schools are not educating the next generation on principles of liberty set forth in the Declaration and underlying the Constitution and are turning the Hillsdale to learn these principles for themselves via our online courses such as ‘Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution.’”
Schools around the country are able to request large orders of Pocket Constitutions for students. After learning about the U.S. Constitution, students at a Michigan elementary school, wrote letters to Hillsdale College to request Pocket Constitutions.
“This week we learned about the Constitution,” one student wrote. “I learned that it was written in 1787. Also, it protects our freedoms and our rights. In order to learn more, I would like to request a Pocket Constitution from Hillsdale College.”
In addition to sending pocket constitutions, Hillsdale College also provides educational resources such as free online courses on the Constitution, American history, the Federalist Papers, and more; a free K-12 American history and civics curriculum; and books such as “The U.S. Constitution: A Reader” and “Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story.”
As part of its educational outreach to American citizens on the history and importance of the U.S. Constitution, Hillsdale College has also sent packages of Pocket Constitutions and Constitution 101 DVDs to state and federal legislators’ offices.

Chapter 492 Gives Thanks
May 2021 – Chapter 492 was thrilled to be informed last fall that they were the winner of the drawing for a TIG welder that was announced in the September 2020 edition of ChapterGram. Here is a note of thanks they passed along:
Our chapter, 492, was the recipient of the Lincoln welder and we have only recently been able to meet in person. At our last meeting we took some photos which I wanted to pass along. We are very excited about putting the welder to use and cross our fingers we will be able to do so by summer. Washington State remains under certain COVID restrictions so we are navigating how to meet in person to use the new tool. I want to pass on our club's sincere thank you to EAA and Lincoln Electric for this fine piece of equipment.

Controladores para irrigação automática de solos modelados por equações diferenciais parciais não-lineares
Control strategies for precision irrigation are proposed. The objective is to develop, analyze and test methods to automatically control the water content in the soil. Sliding mode control (SMC) is applied to regulate the water content in the soil with robustness to parametric uncertainties and disturbances. The dynamics of water infiltration in porous media (soil) is modeled by the Richards equation, which is a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE). Two control objectives are considered: control of the average moisture in a layer near the surface and control of the moisture at a specified depth. SMC strategies are proposed, highlighting the use of a controller with proportional and integral actions connected in cascade for the case of non-collocated sensor and actuator. Simulation results indicate the performance of these control systems and the rejection of external disturbances such as water evaporation or rain.

Pet care & behaviour
Start with determining their age, then decide if you should leave them with mom, take them in, or call the BC SPCA. If they are very young, it’s safest to leave them in place until you can determine whether their mom is still caring for them. If you do take them in, their care will depend on their age.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) announced his candidacy a few weeks ago. He made an appearance on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" and one of the issues that came up was last week's tragic shooting in Virginia Beach.
Naturally, Bennet argued for stricter gun control laws. What's shocking, however, is his blame game. Bennet infer Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is responsible for what took place because he fails to bring gun control bills before the Republican-dominated Senate.
"I think the president can make a difference. The House of Representatives have passed background checks to close the internet loophole. This person bought the guns lawfully as we know. Every single fact pattern will be different. We should pass those background checks. 90 percent of Americans support it," Bennet said.
He argued that states in the west pushed for stricter gun control laws as a means of making states safer.
"After Columbine in Colorado, the people of this western state voted to close the gun show loophole and internet loophole," he said. "It's impossible to argue that our state isn't safer because of this law. If McConnell doesn't take this on the floor, the people of America and the people of Kentucky will hold him accountable for that."
Apparently Bennet missed a couple of points:
1) The gunman obtained his gun legally. He went through a background check.
2) The gunman had a suppressor. Suppressors are highly regulated. We don't know yet if he obtained that legally. If he did, he would have had to have filled out a special application, paid $200, gone through a background check and then purchased the suppressor. If he didn't go through that process then he purchased it illegally. And another gun law on the books wouldn't have changed that.
3) There's nothing in his background, as far as we know, that says he would have carried out this attack.
4) States that have gun control heavy laws, like California, tend to have more shootings than places where the Second Amendment is protected and cherished.
If people truly thought additional gun regulations would make a difference in stopping mass shootings, we'd see stronger support for gun control groups and fewer instances of people getting concealed carry permits and licenses. We'd see a decrease in background checks through the NICS system, which is used to track the health of the firearms industry.

Requirements of pension funds
Pension funds must comply with various statutory requirements on being set up and when administering pension schemes. The requirements of pension funds are twofold. On the one hand they focus on promoting the solidity of pension funds (prudential requirements) and on the other hand they focus on pension funds’ control or joint control structures and the relations between the employees, employer and the pension provider (material requirements). These requirements are intended to protect members, deferred beneficiaries and pension beneficiaries.
The Pension Act (for company pension funds and industry-wide pension funds), the Obligatory Occupational Pension Schemes Act (for occupational pension funds) and the secondary legislation based on these Acts impose prudential requirements on pension funds in the following areas (this is not an exhaustive list):
- the trustworthiness of the persons who determine policy
- the expertise of the persons who determine policy
- sound operations
- controlled operations
- the content of the Actuarial and Technical Business Report (ATBR)
- (minimum) regulatory own funds
- technical provisions
- funding of conditional supplements.
The Pension Act (for company pension funds and industry-wide pension funds), the Obligatory Occupational Pension Schemes Act (for occupational pension funds) and the secondary legislation based on these Acts impose material requirements on pension funds in the following areas (this is not an exhaustive list):
- the content of the administration agreement (between the employer and pension provider/fund)
- the content of the pension scheme rules (between the pension provider/fund and the members)
- the content of the pension fund’s charter
- the composition of the pension fund’s board of directors
- the existence and composition of a Council of Members and an accountability body
- value transfer
- equal treatment (for example of men and women).
Further elaboration of requirements
The prudential and material requirements are worked out in more detail in the secondary legislation and relate to all sorts of operational, technical and financial aspects of pension funds. The provisions in the secondary legislation take account of the various risks involved.

Utah police: '98 death may be tied to Colorado serial killer
Utah authorities are reviving a 1998 cold case they say may be connected to a convicted Colorado serial killer.
Investigators said Tuesday that circumstantial evidence points to Scott Kimball.
State Bureau of Investigation Agent Brian Davis says that includes a complicated rope knot like one used on a Kimball victim and a child's play rug matching one his son had at the time.
Davis says they're also still trying to identify the woman whose body was found in southeastern Utah near Lake Powell. DNA indicates Native American or Hispanic descent.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
Kimball was convicted of in the slayings of four people killed after he was released from a Colorado prison to become a paid FBI informant.
He has previously denied in involvement in other cold-case killings.

It’s been a good week for Manchester. City won the Premier League and it hasn’t rained every day. But there is a sinister underworld in Manchester which is exploiting the lower than average intelligence of people from… Manchester.
Greater Manchester Police are investigating a scam in which victims were conned into handing over hundreds of pounds for a bag of potatoes.
The story, which I spotted on BBC News, using the keywords “Manchester”, “Potato” and “Scam”, leaves us tantalisingly short on detail.
Police say at least four people have been approached by two men offering to sell them a laptop or iPhone.
One man paid up to £1,400 and walked away with a rucksack full of potatoes. Other victims received bottles of soft drinks.
Crime, and being a victim of crime, is a terrible thing. It’s in no way a thing to be ridiculed.
Except perhaps, when instead of getting an iPhone for his hard earned £1,400, the victim walks off with a rucksack full of potatoes. Which, it should be noted, would be equally good at displaying Flash content.
How can this have occurred? I can only imagine that there was some sort of hypnotism involved.
You are feeling sleepy…
You are feeling restful and sleepy…
When I click my fingers, you will awaken and believe that this rucksack full of potatoes is an iPhone worth £1,400.
And then, when they get home and the spell wears off, they have to go down to their local police station and report that they thought they were buying an iPhone, but actually, they ended up with a rucksack full of potatoes. And the police have got to keep a straight face. Jeez.
Still, it could be worse, I suppose. They could have ended up with a handful of Blackberry.

New drug that makes targeted attacks on cancer cells
A new cancer drug that only becomes active when it is absorbed by a tumour cell. This means that patients experience fewer side effects and that little damage is caused to healthy cells.
Breast cancer is one of the conditions it can be used for. The technology developed by Synthon attaches an antibody capable of detecting certain proteins on cancer cells to a substance highly lethal to cells which is only released and activated inside the tumour cells. The first drug that Synthon developed with this ADC technology, SYD985, recognises a protein that can be found on certain types of tumours, including breast cancer tumours, but also on those involved in other types of cancer, such as stomach, endometrial and bladder cancer.
More information can be found via Synthon.

British men’s number one Kyle Edmund is out of the Australian Open after a disappointing 6-3 6-0 7-5 first-round loss to Tomas Berdych.
The 24-year-old, a semi-finalist last year, appeared heavy-legged in the heat against the Czech who looked back to his best after an injury-hit 2018.
Edmund only managed one break point against the Berdych serve all match.
Elsewhere, compatriot Dan Evans won his first Grand Slam match since his return from a drugs ban.
The 28-year-old beat fellow qualifier Tatsuma Ito 7-5 6-1 7-6 (10-8) of Japan, throwing his racquet in joy at the end.
Evans returned from a one-year ban in April 2018 after testing positive for cocaine during 2017’s Barcelona Open.
“After the tournament I’ll look back. I’m looking forward to getting out there again.
“I really enjoy Melbourne and I felt pretty comfortable today. It was hot out there, but was cooling down towards the end.”
Evans could face Roger Federer next if the 20-time Grand Slam champion can overcome Denis Istomin.
“The last time I played Roger was a bit of a blur,” Evans said of his only encounter against Federer, at Wimbledon in 2016, which he lost 6-4 6-2 6-2.
“He’s the greatest of all time and it was my first time on Centre Court.”

Simplex Machine is used in the spinning mills. For Ring yarn Simplex machine is necessary. Simplex machine is the machine which converts the drawn sliver into roving form. Simplex process is the previous process of ring spinning process. A slight twist is given onto the roving.
We can find different faults in the speed/roving/simplex frame. They are described below –
It is defined as undesired stretching of the roving to make it finer and it produces a high count variation.
Causes: Larger lifter wheel, or winding wheel, or ratchet wheel, or starting with half layer.
Remedies: This defect can be cured by using a correct smaller lifter wheel, winding wheel and ratchet wheel or rack wheel. At the start of a new doff the bobbin rail should be taken up or down to start with a full layer instead of a half layer which will produce uneven tension during winding the next layer on the bare bobbin.
This defect will occur if the pocker rack is not perfectly level when the pressure eye is at the middle of the lift. To equalize the tappers, mark the exact centre of the barrel portion of a bobbin and place the bobbin and a flyer in their working position. Mark the top rail until this is in the centre of the pressure eye and then level the two bars and the rack pocker by spiraled level. Reset the adjusting screws in the pocker bracket so that they operate the motion catches correctly at the top and bottom of the lift.
Stretching is due to the difference in surface speed between the bobbin and the pressure eye being greater than the surface speed of the front roller. It occurs throughout the build, reduces the bobbin speed by using a smaller bottom cone drum change wheel.
If stretching gets progressively worse in the bobbin build up, building motion ratchet wheel to be with fewer number of teeth or the spur wheel change building motion to be adjusted to give the same effect. This will make the cone drum belt along the cone drums at a higher rate and thus gives a greater reduction in bobbin speed as the package diameter increases.
Too small a lifter change wheel can cause this defect through adjusting coils tending to ride on one another. This wheel is to be made larger.
An accumulation of waste in the legs of the flyers will lead to stretching the individual spindles. In this case the roving will be slack between the front rollers and the affected flyers.
- Sloughing at the bobbin ends may be due to reversing bevels which are badly worn or too shallowly meshed.
- Motion catches with worn ends.
- Insufficient taper on the bobbins.
- Balance weights not fitted correctly or touching the floor.
- Hesitation at the change over either the building motion or the reversing mechanism resulting from dirt, tightness or incorrect setting.
- The worn bevels should be replaced.
- Correct shape of the motion catches.
- Correct tapper of bobbins.
- Proper setting of the related parts.
This defect can be rectified by changing the tapper wheel. Reduce number of teeth in the tapper wheel reduces the tapper and vice-versa.
Faulty movement of the top rail results in ridgy bobbins at the bobbin ends.
- Tight or badly worn lifter shaft bearings.
- Dirt on the top rail sides.
- Worn revering bevels.
- Slack lifter shaft pinions.
- If the balance weight touch the floor when the rail is at the top of its lift.
- Foul the chain pulleys at the bottom of the lift.
- Faulty bearing should be removed.
- The top rail should be cleaned.
- Worn bevel should be removed.
- Lift shaft pinion should be properly secured.
- Correct setting of the balance weight.
- Too quick reducing of the bobbin speed as the package builds up in bobbin leading frame.
- Too high speed of top rail, giving excessive spacing of the coils.
- Individual soft bobbin may be due to: Incorrect threading of the roving round the flyer tap. Insufficient number of turn of the roving round the pressure arm. Lifting bobbin wheel. Removal of the long length of thick or single roving.
- Large ratchet wheel or same effect with spur wheel change building motion.
- A smaller top lifter change wheel.
- Correct threading adjustment and piecing up.
Single and double
Single may be due to –
- Slubs in the material being fed may prevent in passing through the back guide and results in the formation of single.
- By piecing the full bobbins to the wrong end when creeling.
- By lapping due to rough places or oil on the roller.
Doubles may be due to –
- Broken end at the front lasting into an adjustment end and being carried forward with it.
- Long piecing with creeling.
Any single or double in the previous process may also cause this effect.
Care must be taken for the above reasons of single and double so that they might not occur.
- Too close setting between two lines of drafting rollers.
- A strained bottom roller.
- Broken teeth in the draft gearing.
- Roller gearing set too deeply in mesh.
- Badly worn cap bar slides.
- Loose sections of bottom rollers.
- Badly pieced roller coverings.
We should maintain the proper settings of the machine parts.
- Waste from the creel or clearers passing forward with the materials.
- Loose fly accumulating on top of the creel bobbins and being incorporated into the roving.
- Waste gathered in the top and hollow legs of the flyers.
- Infrequent or insufficient cleaning of any port that comes into contact with the material being processed.
- A broken end at the front, lasting into an adjacent end, can also produce this defect.
Actions should be taken accordingly.
Snapping is a severe form of stretching and usually means that the roving being subjected to excessive tension due to too high a bobbin speed in relation to the spindle speeds. The roving generally breaks at each pressure eyes.
Causes and remedies:
- If snapping occurs at an intermediate stage in the bobbin build, it will probably be caused by interference to the moment of the cone drum belt. This can be recognized by the fact that the lift is not being reduced. Check for the waste on the long rack and ensure that the long rack bowls revolve freely and that the rack pinion is firmly secured to the upright shaft.
- If snapping occurs at the end of the build, it indicates that the ratchet wheel is too large. Thus giving insufficient movement to the cone drum belt or that the gear train in the spur wheel type building motion is producing the same effect. This has a cumulative action, stretching progressively increasing as the bobbin build up until finally occurs.
- Too tight cone drum belt can produce this fault.
Dirt or oil strained roving
- Excessive oiling of rollers, spindles or bobbin driving wheels may be the main cause of this fault.
- Cracked or broken bobbins, use of dirt boxes for transporting roving and oil on the top rail or clearer can also be lead to stained roving.
Correct oiling, cleaning etc.
Slack ends may always be caused by slack winding, a slipping cone drum belt, binding top rail slides, long collars clogged with waste and dirt, or too many turns of the roving round the pressure arm.
Poor twist cause breakage prior to spinning and excess twist cause not to unwind during spinning in the break draft zone of the ring frame.
Excessive ends down
- Cut drawing.
- Bobbin jumping.
- Broken teeth in head stock.
- Improper humidity.
- Loose coupling of spindle pinions on spindle shaft.
- Cone drums belt slipping.
- Traverse motion not properly set.
- Wrapping round bottom and top roller.
- Hollow, rough and worn out gearing.
- Slubs in roving.
- Cut roving.
- Improper pressure on the top roller.
- Waste accumulating in the pressure eye.
- Very badly keeping the under and top clearers.
Steps should be taken accordingly.
- Irregular sliver feed to the machine.
- Roller lapping.
- Groove in the top roller.
- Incorrect distribution of draft in the drafting zone.
- Tension draft.
- Incorrect weighting of the top roller.
- Incorrect roller setting.
- Single instead or double when used.
- Lack of proper maintenance, oiling, and cleaning.

More OneJet questions
A number of questions arise following a Post-Gazette story detailing the number and identities of investors allegedly snookered by OneJet.
OneJet was the heavily publicly subsidized business-oriented passenger air service that was forced into Chapter 7 liquidation in late 2018 by a handful of private investors. The highly touted airline began service to Pittsburgh International Airport in 2015. But by late last summer, it more resembled a flounder washed up on a beach.
The Allegheny County Airport Authority, the county Redevelopment Authority and the state Department of Community and Economic Development had ponied up about $3 million in public dollars. And it appears that nearly all of it likely will not be recoverable from the turnip that OneJet turned out to be.
But far more money is owed to private investors – “a who’s who of Pittsburghers,” is how the P-G characterizes them.
We’ve repeatedly raised the question of what kind of due diligence was performed by government agencies to vet the financial wherewithal of OneJet. What was the process? Who did it? Was it done at all?
But the release of the list of private investors begs a few more questions. What kind of due diligence did they perform?
Granted, a second, larger lawsuit by investors alleges OneJet’s principals misled them about the airline’s finances. But a number of those investors were, for lack of better phrase, “money people” – bankers, corporate executives and even UPMC Children’s Hospital. Did they assume too much? Did they accept at face value OneJet’s claims?
And an even larger question comes into play here: What, if any, influence did those private investors have on government officials to turn public money into venture capital dollars?
Did that influence play any role in government failing to perform its due diligence? Was it the proverbial blind leading the blind? Or did those government agencies fail on their own? Either scenario should raise eyebrows.
More questions – very serious questions — are being raised about the OneJet fiasco on a regular basis. And the need for a top-to-bottom review grows stronger.
As we’ve noted before, and will continue to note, that’s a job for the state Attorney General’s Office, which, per statute, has auditing purview over the Airport Authority.
And everything must be on the table, from how recipients of public dollars are vetted, to past conflicts of interest by authority board members, to the plenary power of authority CEO Christina Cassotis to grant subsidies in any amount, to what outside entities might be having undue influence on the operation of the Airport Authority.
Such a major public policy “fail” demands an exhaustive review. Until that happens, there will continue to be more questions than answers.

“Bio-fuels are the answer,” is the essence of a discussion I had with a friend last month. This urbanite is as confident of that assessment as he is the direction of the daily sunrise.
Our conversation started with Americans’ appetite for gasoline. He quickly leap frogged to the conclusion that farmers can raise an infinite supply of corn, soybeans or any other crop. “There’s plenty of land; besides we pay farmers not to produce anyway,” he argued.
His logic continued that ethanol or bio-diesel production will not effect input costs for any other agricultural or food-production segment. He saw no trickle-down impact in terms of higher corn prices leading to higher prices for other products such as pork. His general attitude was that I was over-reacting, and that it will all simply work out.
Okay, by now I should anticipate, if not accept, the oversimplified viewpoint of my city brethren as it relates to agriculture. Yet it still can raise my blood pressure.
This well-educated engineer is not atypical. Being at least three generations removed from the farm, he’s critical of your agricultural practices, yet takes for granted your ability to produce food, fiber—and now energy.
There’s no question that we need to become more energy independent, but it will include an extended, multi-pronged approach, including changing our consumption patterns. I’m not sure if it’s human nature or Americans’ nature, but we wait too long to address difficult matters that might inconvenience us.
To get things moving, politicians from state governors to the President are mandating ethanol-use levels by specific target dates. Their logic appears similar to my friend’s.
Where will that ethanol come from, and at what price?
If the entire 2005 corn crop had been processed into ethanol, it would have totaled 30 billion gallons. The
The energy pricing structure and ethanol tax incentives will keep prices at the pump in check. However, you will face higher corn prices.
Prices for this year’s crop could move 30 to 50 cents per bushel higher than last year’s, and it’s not due to drought. Bob Wisner,
Many questions will flutter around rising corn prices, such as will some producers exit pork production and focus on corn? Will more producers walk away from pork production altogether?
“Turning farm crops into automobile fuel has the potential to be the biggest change in
Projections point to a 50 percent increase in corn acres in the next six to seven years, which will include some conservation land. That increased acreage could harvest 15 billion bushels; this year’s crop looks to be around 11 billion. There also will be fewer soybeans planted.
It will be subtle, but evolving price pressures will lead to higher retail-product prices, and not just at the meat case. So consumers may find comfort in the promise of alternative fuels, but they will pay more elsewhere.
Risk management on both ends of the pork production cycle will be more important than ever. It will require some creative thinking and new strategizing for future competitiveness.
The Farm Bill will play a key role. Commit now to stay informed and be involved. Subsidies, exports, feed grains and ethanol are just some of the issues that the marathon Farm Bill discussions will address. You can be sure that the outcome will impact your business.
Agriculture will provide more of the country’s fuel. In the process it may even win over public hearts and minds, placing agriculture on a more valued pedestal. But true solutions will rely on many breakthroughs. It will be a long haul to get there, and you could pay a dear price.

Have you seen Julian Lage’s new guitar from Collings? The Collings 470 JL (Julian Lage) has Dynasonic-like pickups, although they are custom designed by Collings for this guitar. I love Julian’s guitar playing but the guitar caught my interest.
Visually, at least to my eyes, it appears to be very similar to a Gretsch Duo Jet with Dynasonic pickups. You can currently (February 2021) purchase a George Harrison Duo Jet reissue with the Dynasonic single-coil pickups.
The Amazon Affiliate product links found on this site can earn me a commission when clicked.
Gretsch also sells a Chet Atkins model with Dynasonic single coils. This is a classic for rockabilly and close to the guitars played by Duane Eddie and Edie Cochran.
Both Gretsch and Guild guitars have used Dynasonic pickups in some models of guitars. Guild currently offers the Starfire II ST Dynasonic model.
Another hollow body with Dynsonic-like pickups currently in production is the Godin 5th Ave Uptown T-Armond.
I have no first-hand experience with these pickups other than listening to recordings made by artists playing guitars equipped with Dynasonic pickups. They have a distinctive voice associated with country twang but useful in other genres. Historically, they were the first electric pickup with adjustable pole pieces. Being single-coils, they were and are noisy compared to humbucker pickups such as Filtertons.
You can buy DeArmond Dynasonic pickups from Guild and Fender. TV Jones and others make Dyanasonic-like replicas of the pickup. But if you want to do anything other than replace a guitar that already has these pickups, you’ll have some problems. The original pickups only came in a surface-mount design. They won’t fit most pickup cavities in hollow or solid body guitars. I’ve seen them installed on Telecasters but it required a custom rout to lower the height so it fit under the strings.
An alternative pickup for a Telecaster is the TV Jones Starwood. It allegedly is based on their take on a DeArmond.

From Country Club to Conservation
Where the River’s Bend Golf Course once operated from 1991 until 2015, now is a natural area protected under a conservation easement by Capital Region Land Conservancy. After the business declared bankruptcy, the 180-acre property, which was formerly the 18-hole golf course, could have been developed into a dense residential subdivision with an additional 100-homes built along the James River. In December 2017, the property’s owner at the time, Riversbend Land LLC, protected the 180 acres, including wetlands, views, and one mile of James River shoreline with a conservation easement held by CRLC. CRLC offers access to the property through annual guided hikes.


TMP veranda repairs underway
The insurance loss adjustor representing the trucking company that damaged the TMP Fashions veranda on the corner of Hakiaha and Manuaute Streets in Taumarunui have confirmed they accept liability for the costs allowing repair work to proceed.
Mayor Weston Kirton said this was a great news for both TMP Fashions and Taumarunui and will allow the area to be made safe before the Christmas parade on Saturday 3 December.
"Now that the truck insurer has confirmed that they will cover the full cost of repairs the property owner has been able to instruct their builder to get things underway which they say should take about two weeks," he said.
“I would like to thank the community for their patience while we worked through the issues with the insurance and other stakeholders.
Anyone who has had to deal with a large insurance claim knows that these things can take some time even if who is at fault may seem to be readily apparent.
Because of the impact on Taumarunui’s main street Council was getting frustrated with the delays.
We had actually just advised the loss adjustor that if things were not resolved soon Council was prepared to carry out the repairs then recover the costs from the insurance company.
Fortunately, shortly after this TMP were advised that insurance would cover the full cost of repairs,” he said.

All that is left is for fans to figure out what they mean. Following the announcement for Season two release date, The Umbrella Academy started an odd social networking campaign. It began with new personality posters that were published from chronological order. Not long afterward, the series released the official synopsis and the first stills from Season two. And for the last week, new character GIFs and odd pictures with cryptic captions have been dropped. Taking a look at the official Instagram account, a pattern emerged. The reports post three times a day alternating between character GIFs and the images. The GIFs were released in the same sequence as the posters released last month so that fans can expect another pair of articles on June 26th featuring a GIF of Number Five sandwiched between two more mysterious pictures. This may complete the pattern since Five is the last sibling.

‘The Umbrella Academy’ Sets Season 2 Premiere Date
The Umbrella Academy , a darkly comedic series about a dysfunctional group of adult siblings with superpowers, debuted on Netflix this spring and became an instant fan favorite. On May 18, Netflix announced via a very cute video in which the main cast recreated, social distanced in their respective homes, the montage from the first episode set to Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now,” that Season 2 would be dropping July Season 2 will also feature 10 hour-long episodes, just like Season 1.
Maybe the Hargreeves didn’t listen to Number Five’s warning that using his powers to prevent the impending apocalypse last season wasn’t the best idea, but it looks like they have another opportunity to get it right. Netflix dropped the kitschy trailer for the new season in early July, just a few weeks out from the series’ return, and it shows the siblings scattered across a three-year time period around s Dallas, Texas.
The scale of the season and the weirdo family’s mission seem even greater this time around — from its retro styles, including some villainous 20th century milkmen to their scheme of being involved with the assassination of President John F.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its forecast on Macau’s 2017 GDP growth rate for this year to 2.8 percent. The previous forecast was 0.2 percent.
“Macau is well-positioned to achieve relatively stable growth of low to mid-single digits in the medium term,” IMF said.
IMF also praised Macau’s “strong” financial system, and “remarkable” macroeconomic resilience.
“With [mainland] China now accounting for 2/3 of [Macau’s] tourists and balance of payments pressures raising the potential for depreciation, external competitiveness may be more of an issue” the IMF said after a 12 day visit to Macau.

As the DCMS Committee prepares to quiz CEOs from the majors today (January 19) on the economics of streaming, Hipgnosis boss Merck Mercuriadis has called for a better deal for songwriters.
You can read Music Week’s in-depth preview of the key issues for the inquiry session here.
Nile Rodgers, an Hipgnosis advisory board member, gave evidence last month to the DCMS Committee inquiry into the economics of streaming.
“A music stream should be treated as a licence, not a sale,” Rodgers told MPs.
He added that artists and writers “do not get their fair share of the pie”.
Merck Mercuriadis has now spoken out in support of songwriters as the #FixStreaming debate gathers pace. While Hipgnosis’ business model is based on the dramatic growth in streaming, its founder has suggested that songwriters are still not getting their fair share.
“We’ve submitted our written evidence [to the inquiry],” he told Music Week. “Once they peel away the layers of that onion, what they’re going to get into is investigating the business practices of the major labels and the publishing companies that they own and control.
“The reason songwriters are not being paid what they should be getting paid is that the three biggest publishing companies are not advocating for songwriters, because they’re owned by the three biggest recorded music companies in the world.”
In the music business, without the song we don’t exist – it’s the energy that makes the world go round
Major labels often put significant investment into developing those songwriter artists who have gone on to become global streaming stars.
But trade bodies representing songwriters and publishers have long called for a greater share of DSP income compared to recorded music giants.
“We want to change that,” the Hipgnosis CEO told Music Week. “Because when you look at why streaming is so anaemic for a songwriter, or even for an artist, it’s not about what happens to the 30% that Spotify or Apple gets. The debate is what happens to the other 70%.”
While Hipgnosis would benefit from any royalty increase, Mercuriadis stressed that he wants to support songwriters.
“The main motive, above making money [for Hipgnosis], is to change where the songwriter sits in the economic equation,” he said. “In the music business, without the song we don’t exist – it’s the energy that makes the world go round.”

Recommendations of folate for pregnancy has been included in the update issued by The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on vitamin and mineral guide.
The updated values published by the ANSES, last revised back in 2016, constitute the new reference values for the vitamin and mineral intake of people in good health in France.
The B9 (Folate) recommendations for ANSES
Meeting needs in vitamins D and B9 remains a public health issue, said the Agency. In particular, with reference to the vitamin B9: “For women, particular emphasis must be placed on achieving a sufficient intake.
To prevent any risk of malformations in unborn children, it is essential for all women likely to become pregnant to have a sufficient intake of vitamin B9. This approach is protective, since it takes account of unplanned pregnancies…”

Gemma Collins was seen serving up 'good vibes' during her holiday in Mykonos as she stripped down to an eye-catching swimsuit.
The TOWIE star, 39, jetted to the Greek island earlier this week, and has been keeping her social media users in the know when it comes to her sun-soaked adventures.
Posing up a storm on the 'gram, the TV personality admitted she's ditched the filters as she put her best foot forward in a vibrant one-piece.
Standing by the side on an infinity pool, and looking like a Grecian goddess, Gemma oozed holiday glam as she rocked a palm leaf patterned swimsuit and matching kaftan.
Sweeping her blonde locks into a ponytail, the beauty radiated confidence and flaunted her three-stone weight loss in the high-cut ensemble.
She captioned the snap: "ALL WOMAN. MYKONOS @cavotagoomykonos no filter or edit just serving good vibes."
Gemma recently admitted she's wearing "wearing bikinis for the first time in ages!" following her lifestyle overhaul.
Staying sun-safe, she shielded her eyes from the rays thanks to a pair of oversized shades.
And it wasn't long before she was inundated with compliments from her loyal fanbase.
One wrote: "You're glowing. Have fun," while another added: "Absolutely stunning."
The TV holiday is holidaying with her former flame and TOWIE co-star Charlie King with the pair enjoying a slap-up meal on Wednesday evening.
The sultry snap comes after Gemma opened up about her desire to reduce her chest.
She told The Sun: "I can't wait to get rid of these boobs, they're massive and look ridiculous."
After losing weight and reaping the rewards of a gruelling routine, she added: "I have never looked better than I do now and I've never felt so good.'
"I never have wanted surgery.
"But as my body is getting smaller, I feel like I am falling over on top and I just want them gone."

Parallel, a Wisconsin-based company that operates in several states, began managing DPS’ substitute operation in January of 2015, the first time the district had outsourced that function.
In the lawsuit, the teachers say the violations occurred shortly after Parallel’s contract with DPS began — in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years. The suit says 19 subs who met the 60-day threshold in 2014-15 failed to receive appropriate benefits, then 44 subs had the same thing happen in 2015-16.
Susan Jansen, attorney for the teachers, declined to comment on specifics of the case, including how much back pay and benefits could be at stake. The lawsuit seeks “appropriate compensation, including all benefits and backpay required to make them whole.”
DPS Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli, who didn’t join the district until late 2016, also declined comment on the lawsuit. Parallel Employment Group officials did not respond to requests for comment.
In summer of 2019, DPS terminated its contract with Parallel and hired ESS Northeast LLC as its new substitute staffing contractor.
