- Flame Retardants
On July 1, 2019, the hotel "The Westin" in Tokyo, Japan, opened its doors for the pinfa Workshop "Electromobility & Fire Safety Challenges", a satellite workshop of the "Electro Mobility and Circular Economy (EMCE)" conference. The aim of the event was to increase the exchange in the value chain. This goal could be achieved by the more than 60 participants from the electromobility value chain such as automobile manufacturers, OEMs, compounders and manufacturers of flame retardants.
It was already the second workshop pinfa organized on this topic. While the first workshop focused on the Chinese market, as 2/3 of the electric cars were already sold in China in 2017, this time the focus was on the Japanese market. An important topic was the future needs and challenges, especially for batteries and e-mobility. The batteries currently weigh several hundred kilograms and their high weight reduces the range of electric cars. It is therefore necessary to use lighter materials instead of the previously used metal (steel or aluminium).
In his presentation, Mr. Hiroshi Okuyama of Nissan Co, Ltd. showed that fiber-reinforced composites must be used increasingly both now and in the future in order to achieve weight reduction. In his presentation, Dr. Yuta Urushiyama from Honda explained the ever more developed and optimized processing methods and the mass production that is thus made possible. He clearly showed that for mass production using thermoset resins as a plastic matrix for composites, processes such as High Pressure Resin Transfer Molding (HP-RTM) in particular are able to achieve an increased number of units through shorter cycle times.
In addition to the solution approaches for a higher range of electric cars and the associated further development of batteries, flame retardancy was also a relevant topic for these batteries. Due to the ever increasing energy densities and high currents, there is an intrinsic fire risk, which is why naturally flammable plastics must be protected against ignition by the addition of flame retardants. Dr. Christian Schmidt of Clariant presented two suitable new products from the flame retardant sector. They enable the liquid processing of flame retardants when used in composites with thermosets as a matrix.
A third workshop on this topic is planned for November 12, 2019 in Darmstadt, Germany.

If you are in the market for premium trailer tires, you should consider heartland. The brand is owned by Discount Tire, one of the largest tire retailers in the world, and has been able to develop some of the most durable trailer tires available today. These tires feature a unique internal construction and design that allows them to handle max load capacities while also extending their tread life.
Hartland tires are made from premium, eco-friendly materials, making them a great choice for anyone who wants to be responsible with the environment. They are also known for their durability and performance, and they can handle large loads of cargo without being too loud or causing any issues with the driving experience.
The most important thing when choosing a trailer tire is to make sure that it is the right size for your trailer. Most trailer tires will have a special combination of numbers and letters that tell you what size they are. This usually consists of an ST, which stands for specialty trailer, and a number such as 225 or 75. The 225 part of the combination talks about the height in inches, while the ST part refers to the load range.
Another important thing to keep in mind is the tread pattern of the tire, as this is what will affect how well it grips the road. Most of the Hartland trailer tires have a symmetrical ribbed design, which makes them very easy to control and drive on different types of terrain. Their ribs keep constant contact with the road, which improves the steering's responsiveness and the vehicle's stability.

Boris Johnson won big in Britain. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Before we get into the results, let’s take a second to listen to a song that just might become the new Conservative Party anthem (for the next five years, or until the next general election):
Boris Johnson has done it. He has overcome all the jeers in the press about his appearance and reputation for Machiavellian maneuvering. All those clips flooding social media showing voters telling off the prime minister for plotting to destroy Europe has been exposed for just that: More Remainer propaganda – not a glimpse into the true will of the people.
Seemingly everyone who opposed or undermined Johnson during his brief stint as prime minister – not just the opposition, but even purrported allies like the DUP, the perpetual thorn in the conservatives side as Johnson angled to try and pass his deal to no avail, lost big last night. After Johnson cast the DUP aside during negotiations with the EU, it seems their own voters followed suit, throwing two DUP MPs out of office and electing two more Sinn Fein members in their stead. This means that for the first time ever, the number of Northern Ireland MPs who favor reunification with Ireland will be higher than the number who favor remaining in the UK.
It’s getting harder and harder to buy off dissent. From Tom Luongo at tomluongo.me:
There’s something happening that the unelected oligarchs I like to call The Davos Crowd hate more than anything else. They can’t seem to buy people off anymore.
When we look around the world today at the plethora of popular/populist uprisings both peaceful and unruly we see the same thread running through them at their core.
The people simply don’t believe that the system works for them anymore. Whatever the catalyst was that got them off their couches and into the streets was the proverbial last straw.
And they can’t be bought.
We’re coming up on the one year anniversary of the Gilet Jaunesprotests in France. The original €0.25 tax on diesel fuel died a long time ago. President Macron of France though he could just throw the unruly peasants some scraps, not take their final piece of bread from their tables and that would placate people bereft of not only their future but, more importantly, their dignity.
The peasants are revolting in myriad ways against the plans for globalization and control their betters have for them. From Tom Luongo at strategic-culture.org:
Since the moment the votes were totaled in the June 2016 Brexit referendum there has been nothing but handwringing about what it implied. The Brexit vote showed, quite clearly, that growing political unions were unsustainable.
It was the first in a series of electoral losses where the people finally said enough to an expanding EU.
Four months later the US voted Donald Trump, of all people, into the White House, again throwing into the air another ‘two fingers up’ to the Western political establishment that wanted to break down borders and blur the lines between nation states.
Trump’s first moves were to nullify the Paris Accord on Climate Change and both the TTIP and TPP. These are all globalist, transnational treaties designed to usurp national governments and put control of the world economy into the hands of corporations with little recourse to the courts for those harmed.
It looks like Brexit isn’t going to happen. Britain will not escape the clutches of the EU. From Kit Knightly at off-guardian.org:
Europe is crumbling, & Britain’s elite desperately want to be part of the wreckage
REUTERS/Peter Nicholls TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY – RC165ADC9380
Brexit isn’t going to happen. Left or Right – Lexit or Rexit – it’s over. It’s time to make peace with that idea.
Penned in by the absurd Benn Act, No Deal is off the table, which means Britain will be forced to either remain or accept a deal that’s Remain by another name.
The Letwin Ammendment and Johnson’s unsigned extension request are just morbid theatre. Unneccasary nails in a well-sealed coffin.
It’s all very Weekend at Bernies’ – A lame cast of characters, puppeteering Brexit’s corpse to keep up a tired joke that was never funny to begin with.
Parliament has become an absurd pantomime, where a clown Prime Minister – his majority willfully destroyed – sets up straw men that the “opposition” bayonet with increasingly maniacal glee. No thought is given to policy or consequences, only increasing the tally of Boris Johnson’s parliamentary defeats.
There are similarities between the efforts to undermine Brexit and Trump. From Adnrew Ash at gatestoneinstitute.org:
The good news is that it is wholly unlikely that either of the “two coups” will succeed. The increasingly transparent nature of the opposition’s underhanded tricks to reverse the outcome, will in fact, be their undoing.
The president was requesting that Zelensky cooperate with the US Attorney General in investigating possible crime and corruption from 2016. It is the president’s job as the Chief Executive to investigate such matters, as well as required by the Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, signed September 30, 1999. No outcome was recommended.
There are also allegations that the entire attempted coup to unseat President Trump is actually an effort to head off an exposure of widespread criminality in the previous administration.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has reminded the House of Representatives that while the US Constitution does not explicitly require a vote by the entire House to launch an impeachment enquiry, neither does it support one “by a unilateral decree of the Speaker.” The Democrat-controlled House has so far tabled McCarthy’s resolution — twice. And in the traditionally “wrong” Congressional committee — Intelligence rather than Judiciary — to boot.
There are now apparently claims in the US by “multiple whistleblowers”… As [former prosecutor] Andrew McCarthy recently observed, however: “Remember your elementary math, though: Zero is still zero even when multiplied…..”
“Trump is the real whistleblower.” — Stephen Miller, White House senior policy adviser, Fox News Sunday, September 29, 2019.
The public sorely need their faith restored: that their rights as voters, along with fair play, will ultimately win out.
Raúl Ilargi Meijer has some words of advice for Brexiters: be careful what you wish for. From Meijer at theautomaticearth.com:
The US and UK are both at risk of severe legal challenges and hence “barrelling down towards great troubles” as I wrote yesterday in Twisted Pair 1 – US. The reasons are not exactly the same in both cases, but they’re close. It’s about who holds the ultimate power.
Before moving on to the UK’s specific issues, I want to share this from the BBC, one of many pieces yesterday that discuss President Trump talking to foreign leaders, and that all accuse him in one way or another of wanting to ‘dig up dirt’ about Joe Biden (something that could just as well be defined as trying to find out how Russiagate started).
This one is about Trump asking Australia for help because obviously there’s a strong connection to the country in the person of former Australia High Commissioner to the UK Alexander Downer, who claims Trump ‘aid’ George Papadopoulos told him in May 2016 that Moscow had dirt on Hillary Clinton. Papadopoulos has always denied saying it.
Taking a page from Donald Trump’s book, Boris Johnson and his political consigliori Dominic Cummings have branded their opposition’s Brexit strategy “surrender.” It is brilliant labeling. From Mish Shedlock at moneymaven.io:
Boris Johnson and his political strategist Dominic Cummings have labeled the efforts by Parliament a “Surrender” act.
Boris Johnson labels the acts of Parliament to stop No Deal a “Surrender Act”.
This is correct, of course.
If you take away the EU’s incentives to negotiate, they are less likely to do so.
It’s not a complete white flag as Johnson has other, albeit undisclosed options, in which he proclaims two seemingly contradictory ideas.
He will abide by the Benn legislation seeking an extension
The British people are getting the EU jammed down their throats and hang their vote to leave it. From Tom Luongo at strategic-culture.org:
Brexit and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson suffered yet another setback after the Supreme Court ruled his proroguing of Parliament illegal. I’m no British legal scholar, and I certainly don’t want to be, but from what I understand the arguments used seem incredibly dangerous.
In effect, the plaintiffs argued that if the Prime Minister can suspend Parliament for any length of time, say three days, it would be legally no different then him suspending Parliament for a year or, even, indefinitely.
That’s a dangerous line of argument given the more than 300+ year history of this process, with the Prime Minister proroguing Parliament under far more dubious conditions in the past. This does limit the role of the Government to conduct business and set the agenda, especially if and when the day comes that Parliament is not staffed by people who are loyal to their constituents and not the political elite.
The slithering reptilians that populate the British government will go to any lengths to stop or neuter Brexit. From Tom Luongo at tomluongo.me:
I told you the other day that there was a coup underway by the elites I call The Davos Crowd. It started with the British Supreme Court overturning centuries of the balance of powers and ended with the Democrats in Congress announcing impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
When the decision came down from the Supreme Court I began my weekly article for Strategic Culture Foundation. They published it today. In that piece I outline what the dynamics are and what the options were for both sides of the Brexit conundrum.

Is the Indian solar market finally going to live up to its huge promise? I have hopes that it will. The new government has made all the right “noises”. It wants to embed solar firmly within a larger energy strategy for the country. The new Power Minister, Piyush Goyal, wants to take his cue from China, currently the world’s largest solar market. At the same time (and predictably) power tariffs have been hiked by as much as 30% in some states. And the cost of solar is falling again. All this is great news. The only concern is the possible imposition of anti-dumping duties. However, several ministers have already spoken out against them. Perhaps they will be dropped.
- We strive to bring transparency to the market to help it grow
- We believe in the vast long term potential of the market and in its importance to India
- Please give us your feedback on our coverage
At BRIDGE TO INDIA, we strive to provide you with the information and analysis you need to navigate the Indian solar market. We do this through our reports, through regular blog pieces and our weekly newsletter. Through the various publications, we estimate that we reach about 80% of professionals in the Indian solar market. Our goal is to help create a functioning market for solar in India – and we have witnessed it coming a long way since we started covering it in 2010. These are exciting times. Everything is changing: India, the energy system, business models, development models and (unfortunately) also the climate. We, too, have to change and improve. For that reason, I am reaching out to you. If you can spare 15 minutes, it would be wonderful to have your feedback on our publications. Are we relevant and timely and analytical enough? Have we missed something or made a mistake? How can we do better?
Since 2010, India has built a solar capacity of over 2.5 GW. Like in many other rapidly growing markets, there have been teething issues. A number of plants under-perform. To bring more transparency to the market, we have launched a new series of India Solar Case Studies, starting with a 36 MWp plant in Rajasthan. The case studies can help future developers make better decisions with respect to location, EPC, technology and maintenance. And there are many more projects to be built in India. To visualize that, we have created an India Solar Map showing the potential of solar in India. It is virtually limitless: Using 0.5% of its land or half the desert district of Barmer, India could build 1,000 GW of solar power, enough to generate 1.5 times the current electricity demand. This is, of course, a thought experiment. The reality would look different, with solar plants spread across the country.
Yet, it is important to know, that solar can play a very central role in India’s future power strategy. How solar is growing every day, what the policies and the projects are, is documented in our new editions of the India Solar Compass and the India Solar Handbook. They should give you the data and information on the market you need. Both publications have been entirely re-worked to make them more concise and useful to you.
In our blogs, we have covered a lot of ground. I invite you to browse our blog website. We looked at a number of solar policies, at the challenges for utilities and at business models around e.g. solar irrigation pumps. The focus in the last weeks was on two issues: the first was, of course, the new BJP government that has been voted into power with a majority in parliament. Subsequently, there have been many very encouraging statements for the solar market in India. We have covered them in some detail. On the other hand, there is the threat of an imposition of anti-dumping duties. We have taken a strong stance against them, because we are convinced that they would set the market back by two years. That would be a great loss. It would put many Indian solar companies out of business and would make solar power a distant dream for millions of consumers.
In the coming months, we are looking forward to presenting a number of thought leadership reports on the future of solar in India. There is a growing consensus that solar goals can be more ambitious than the current 20 GW of the NSM. 100 GW is quite feasible. But in what manner? Centralized or distributed? We compare different scenarios: building GW-scale “mega” projects, MW-scale projects, commercial rooftop projects or residential systems. We look at the landed cost of power, at infrastructure requirements, at job creation and at ecosystem effects. In a second report, we look at the technical challenges for the grid operators in integrating significant distributed renewable sources in a specific geographical area: How to ensure stability and safety? How can an uninterrupted supply be guaranteed? What are the lessons from countries which already have a high renewable energy penetration? A third report focuses on what solar can contribute to improving the power supply in the city of Patna. This will be along the lines of our analysis from last year on converting Delhi into a solar city.
The best way for you to stay up to date with our publications and the Indian solar market is through our weekly newsletter. You can subscribe to it on our homepage. Also, we will be presenting you the BRIDGE TO INDIA website in a completely new and improved design that will hopefully make it even easier for you to access our content. As a valued reader, I ask you to please share your feedback with us.

General Hospital’s Fired-Up Maurice Benard Takes to Social Media ‘Ready to Rumble’ — Plus, the Corinthos Family Reunion We Never Saw Coming
“All I can say is… expect the unexpected.”
General Hospital’s Maurice Benard (Sonny/Mike) took over the ABC soap’s Instagram page yesterday, and though no introductions were needed, he asked, “Who am I? Am I Sonny or am I Mike?” then laughed. “I guess I’m just Maurice today.”
Benard promised fans in an earlier post to “expect the unexpected” and said that everyone was going to have “a lot of fun” and get to see “a lot of different stuff.” Kicking off the event with a big, “let’s get ready to rumble,” he shared a photo of his beloved goat, Buddy. And fans who follow him know just how much he loves his pal!
He then went on to get into character with a photo wearing a cowboy hat captioned, “Everybody loves Mike.” One fan, cartarius1, didn’t disagree but asked, “But can Mike two-step?”
Speaking of dancing, Benard then jumped in with a video and we were treated to him “dancing with my two sons,” Chad Duell (Michael) and Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan). Watch as the actor and his TV boys hit the mats to James Brown’s “Get Up Offa That Thing.”
When it comes to his real-life son, Benard couldn’t be more proud and posed with “two very talented people,” boss Frank Valentini and son Joshua. Fun fact: Joshua appeared on General Hospital as a young Sonny back in 2018.
In another video, the actor is shown helping his son run lines. “It runs in the family. Teaching my son, Joshua, the ropes. Didn’t take long.”
Introducing more of his family, the soap star shared a precious photo holding his grandchildren and gushed, “My beautiful babies. They love grandpa.”

In a video with the great-grandpa of his little ones, Benard’s father revealed who his favorite Port Charles character is, whether or not he likes Jason and what he had to say about Michael, “To be honest with you, I like the guy as a person but…” Too funny!
On a more serious note, you can see the love in the actor’s eyes on the day his daughter got married, to which he deemed, “A magical moment.”
Back to getting his funny on, from his dressing room, Benard introduced “one of the top five best looking guys that I’ve ever seen in my life,” before the camera panned to co-star Josh Swickard (Chase), who replied, “I paid him to say that.” Swickard laughed as his buddy continued to razz him, “Doesn’t he look good, everybody?”
He then introduced us to someone who is “very special… not just a nice person, but a real deal actress.” Cynthia Watros (Nina) invited fans into her dressing room. Bernard admitted that he’d never been in there before then explained what had him behind the camera.
To wrap things up, the soap vet thanked everyone “for supporting my Instagram takeover. You mean a lot to me and I just love it when you have fun.” We had fun, did you?

Turns out the jag may not be about green, or leaves- but actually scarves in general, because lo and behold, here I am with another blog post and… surprise!
Another scarf. This one has a bit of a story, and isn’t even knitting, but weaving. A while ago I was at Lettuce Knit and they had this really cool yarn.
The whole ball is one repeat, where the colour changes by way of one strand of the four ply (but it’s not really plied, there’s no ply twist) being swapped out at a time. In the one I got it starts out with four strands of the dark pink, then after a while it’s three dark pink and one medium, then two dark pink and two medium and so on, until it’s made it’s way charmingly through dark pink to light pink. (It’s Color Changing Cotton from Wolle’s Yarn Creations and she’s got a blog here that shows off what she does. My colourway is Triple Berry.)
Now, I don’t much care to knit with cotton, but this yarn was so charming to me that I gave it some thought, and moments later was standing at the cash register with two balls in my hand and a big weaving plan. I thought that if I warped with one and wove with the other that things might get interesting fast. The yarn sat around the house for a while, being moved from table to desk to counter, and the night before I left for Squam, completely on impulse, I tossed my Cricket loom and the yarn in the trunk in case there was time to work on it. (If anyone’s interested, I used my 12 dent reed.) There was, and one afternoon while Denny (resident weaving expert) and Megan and Natalie were out, I started.
My plan was to warp the loom so that the colour changed across the warp – dark to light. Problem one? Too much yardage. (I know. Nice problem.) I started at one side with the dark pink, and quickly found that if I just went straight ahead and warped, that I wouldn’t get through the whole repeat. I needed less of each colour. I worked out how many sections of the repeat there were (4 dark pink, then 3 dark pink/1 medium, then 2 dark/2 medium, 1 dark/3 medium, 4 medium, 3 medium 1 light… etc) and figured out how wide I wanted the scarf, and then how much room I could give each section.
I’d warp along, then when I had the width I wanted from that section I’d cut the yarn, wind off the excess, then retie it to the loom at the beginning of the next colour.
It worked pretty darn well, and at some point in the process Denny came home, cracked a cold cider and watched me do it. It all seemed to be running like a charm, except for one thing that the experienced weavers among you (I would not be one of them) may notice.
I warped the loom backwards. Totally backwards. Faced the wrong end of the loom towards the peg, bolted that bad boy down and then warped it completely wrong. Absolutely wrong.
More than that, I even finished warping it wrong. Yup. Cut the yarn from the peg, wound it onto the wrong beam and then sat down and pulled the yarn through the holes in the heddles completely backwards, all the while complaining to Denny that it really seemed harder to warp the loom than it ever had. (I blamed the yarn.) Denny, used to my complaining about yarn problems, hardly cast a look in my direction, but sat knitting and murmuring comforting things. It was only when I went to her and asked for her help tying the warp on at the end that she noticed what I’d done. After I’d sworn for a good long time (I was eloquent, if repetitive) Denny helped me rewind the whole thing through to the other beam. This is, I understand, pretty much absolutely not done, but there seemed no other way out at that point.
I wove along then, starting with the dark of the second ball, and weaving along taking bits of the repeat out as needed to get it the way I wanted. About halfway through this process the whole thing developed tension problems that I couldn’t overcome (this was entirely due to having to wind the warp onto the right side of the loom) and I took drastic steps. I unwound the whole thing, untied the warp from the beam and wound the whole thing on again, then retied the warp.
I have since been advised that you can’t do that with a warp, and that it’s a very bad idea, but there was nobody there to tell me that when I did it, and it worked anyway. (I bet now that I’ve been told that it can’t work that it will never work again, but for that one time it would seem that my ignorance of what was possible worked for me.) I kept weaving, kept modifying the length of the repeat as needed, and when I was done I had this:
Which is, pretty miraculously, considering that I warped the loom backwards, a very pretty scarf.
The warp changes colour right to left, and the weft changes colour bottom to top, which means that on the bottom right there’s solid dark pink, and on the top left there’s solid light pink.
One big diagonal shift, and the whole thing was one heck of a weaving lesson- and resulted in what I think of as a Very Interesting Textile. In a lot of ways I got just what I wanted, in exactly the hardest possible way to get it.
The next one is going to go way better. Less swearing. I hope so, anyway.


Switching Things Up Isn’t Always For The Best
Unfortunately, the plots that stay away from The Thinker in any way that we got last week could not last for long. The DeVoes’s are not a huge presence in the episode but as usual, they weigh heavily over everything as the team is back to slowly finding the bus metas. A new one named Matthew Kim (Melting Point) makes his power/DNA switching debut to make things a bit stranger for Team Flash. Bouncing Barry’s powers to Iris, causing both to adjust to what the other usually does, was an interesting development. Giving both of them a chance to reflect upon what they have lost over the last year or so.
Barry has lost his freedom, his job and now his powers while Iris lost feeling like she was part of the action after choosing to just take a seat behind the scenes and lead following the Savitar situation and Barry’s disappearance. With everyone just about getting powers or abilities on the team or around the team as of late, it makes sense that Iris feels a bit out of place, and misses the days where she was running around as a reporter or just helping out the team in the past. Effectively this episode gave Iris the chance to re-prove that she can handle being out in the field and can be fearless when needed.
One big critique of the metahuman threat of the week this season is that they feel very weak. Numerous times the metas that are popping up as of late are just so easily toppled within the third act of the episode. They are just generally an action distraction in the episode alongside all the other things that are dragged out to do with the DeVoe storyline. This series truly needs a bit of a refresh without some huge overarching big bad dragging it down, to do more with the other heroes and villains in bigger development ways. Metahumans of the week felt so much more impactful back in the first season and part of the second season.
One perk is seeing Iris tap back into her journalistic roots and what is her destiny (as shown by future issues and from the comics) by writing about the Flash again. Perhaps a return to the newsroom is on its way for her. Also, Matthew Kim agreeing to stick around to help use his powers against DeVoe seems like a win for the team, but with quite a number of weeks (including another long month break for the show) to go before the finale, anything could happen. Including DeVoe getting his hands on the guy.
Obsession Thy Name is Harrison Welles
Harry is a man obsessed. Wells keeps seeking ways to find, defeat or outthink The Thinker so that they can finally defeat the villain. None have panned out so far, but this latest decision to recreate the Thinking Cap that gave DeVoe his great intelligence is definitely the most out there. Despite this Wells being from Earth 2 and not being Thawne in disguise like season one, it’s understandable why Cisco is wary of using Dark Matter with the device to make Harry smarter. They don’t need another DeVoe running around using his brains to do awful things to others.
While Cisco eventually comes around to help Wells and the cap helps when Iris is in trouble against the latest meta threat of the week, the guarantee that things won’t take a dark turn isn’t there. He did figure out the names of the last two bus metas at last, so maybe that will help. Though likely not with how things are going in Team Flash’s favor lately.
A Dead Man Returned Still Makes No Sense
To solve the prison plot that the writers seemingly didn’t know what to do with, they had Ralph shapeshift into Clifford DeVoe and trick the court into believing that Barry didn’t really kill anyone. This comes up again this week because Barry can’t get his job back just yet, with the Mayor suddenly wanting to meet the DeVoes to talk about what happened after seemingly weeks of Barry being out of prison. It doesn’t happen on screen, but this plotline continues to drag things down. If the courts and others were so convinced to let Barry run free, why is the mayor still trying to get in on it all? And no one has checked in on the DeVoes before now since Ralph has been hiding in the basement for awhile scared? None of it makes any sense and really just needs to be let go.
Thinker’s shadow loomed over the episode but only dragged it down a bit as the character development moments for Barry and Iris and others helped keep the episode afloat. The metahuman threat felt weak, but most of them have this season as they are just too easy to defeat too quickly. Another month break is really not going to help when this season has already felt very dragged out, it’s time for the show to start wrapping up some plotlines and quickly.
Score: 7 out of 10

30-40% of mental-health appointments being missed, Health PEI says
'We’re looking at a number of other programs that can be offered online to people in their homes'
Health PEI says 30 to 40 per cent of appointments for mental health services in the province are missed and that means longer wait times for everyone.
That number applies to individual counselling and therapy sessions, said Lorna Hutt, manager of community mental health and addictions west.
"I think it has been consistent over the last couple of years," she said.
She said Health PEI is working on ways to make sure people remember their appointments by contacting them by email or text instead of just a phone call beforehand.
Hutt said for most people missing appointments, things come up last minute, they forget or their priorities change.
"It really depends on the person," she said. "Oftentimes we just hear that people have forgotten their appointments."
Hutt said she hopes the email and text reminders will help more people keep their commitment.
"I think every opportunity to reach people in different ways improves chances of people making their appointments."
Pressure on the system
Hutt said she recognizes that struggles with depression and anxiety could make it difficult for some people to make their appointments.
"We're looking at a number of other programs that can be offered online to people in their homes. So we're really looking at building that part of our services," she said.
Hutt said there is always room for improvement, and Opposition health critic Trish Altass agrees.
Altass said the province could be doing more to look into why people are missing their appointments.
"What more can we do to support those who are struggling to make sure they are able to get to the appointments?" she said.
"Are we asking questions about access to transportation? Are we making sure that the services being offered to Islanders are the right fit at the right time?"
Altass said Islanders need the right services when they are ready for help — and those services need to be available.

One of the most unusual (and in our opinion) disturbing aspects of the decision was that even the SEC was split on whether the charge was merited.
Given the damage the charge has caused--$20 billion of Goldman'shas been vaporized, countless millions have already been spent on legal and PR fees, reputations have been destroyed--one would have hoped that at least the home team would be unanimous in its view that Goldman broke the law. But it wasn't.
Two of the 5 SEC commissioners voted against charging Goldman with fraud. In the meeting, moreover, one of them is reported to have said "I have serious doubts about the evidence of fraud." And that's after the SEC enforcement staff presented the strongest evidence the agency has against the firm.
We still think the case will be settled, with Goldman paying a fine of at least $1 billion, expressing contrition, and possibly dumping Lloyd Blankfein. That will go down as a big and much-needed victory for the SEC. But it won't answer the question as to whether the charge really should have been brought in the first place.
Here's the WSJ's description of the decision meeting, as reported by Monica Langley, Kara Scannell, Susan Pulliam, and Suzanne Craig:
It was standing-room only in the windowless room where the Securities and Exchange Commission's five commissioners met last month to decide whether to sue Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for fraud. From top to bottom at the beleaguered agency, staffers and lawyers who saw the giant Wall Street firm on the confidential enforcement calendar wanted to witness the drama.
Once the enforcement team laid out its recommendation to sue Goldman—arguing that the firm had misled investors about highly complex securities linked to the cratering mortgage market—the commissioners questioned the lawyers on the strength of the evidence. They also debated whether the SEC was essentially sailing into uncharted territory by attacking a relatively new financial product. "I have serious doubts about the evidence of fraud" prevailing in court, said Troy Paredes, one of the two Republican appointees on the commission, according to two people in the room.
The enforcement staff argued that it could build a record strong enough to support the fraud charges. Finally, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro called for a vote, even though it was obvious there was serious disagreement among the commissioners. In the end, the two Democratic commissioners voted for the case to proceed and the two Republicans against. Ms. Schapiro, an independent named by President Obama, cast the deciding vote to go ahead...


Phoenix Systems Adds European Brake Bleeding Kits
Phoenix Systems LLC has introduced three brake bleeder kits designed to fit almost all European model vehicles.
The company says the three new European brake bleeding kits allow a much quicker method for pressure bleeding than traditional methods.
All of the European kits pair one of the three classic Phoenix brake bleeders with a master cylinder cap that is suitable for most European cars. The vehicle models for the cap include Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Fiat, Mercedes, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, SAAB, Volkswagen, Volvo,and all other cars with 45mm threaded hydraulic fluid reservoir cap.
The first of the three new kits is the MaxProHD European Brake Bleeder. This heavy-duty tool contains an aluminum alloy hand pump with a powder-coated finish for easy clean up.
The V12 European Brake Bleeder kit is used regularly to bleed brake and clutch systems. This bleeder contains a hand pump made from high strength nylon zytel.
The company says both of these brake bleeders are fully rebuildable and represent an excellent investment. These two are also considered professional level kits for the certified mechanic.
For home mechanics, Phoenix Systems launched the V5 European Brake Bleeder. This introductory brake bleeder has the same mechanical functions as the other two, but with a more simple hand pump.
All three of these kits are capable of performing pressure, reverse, bench, and vacuum bleeding. The master cylinder cap allows these three units to function as a pressure bleeder and makes the reverse bleeding process even quicker, according to the company.
All kits include attachments to fit bleed screws and clutch weep holes as well.

This is the last of Ron Meador’s posts from the St. Croix River paddle that began June 15.
And then it was over.
The 50 or so paddlers remaining at the end of our six-day trip down the St. Croix pushed through a final marathon stretch of 22.5 miles on Friday. It was the highest-mileage day by a good margin, untroubled by headwinds or rain, going with the flow and a good bit faster.
Just after the midpoint there was a nice box-lunch picnic on the village green in Marine on St. Croix, with music, cold soda — and ice cream! On any other day we might have lingered in this comfortable oasis, but with 80-some miles behind us and 10 more to go, there wasn’t much dawdling.
Only moments after launching, it seemed, the historic Soo Line High Bridge just upstream from Stillwater came into view, and moments after that came the takeout at Andersen Scout Camp on the Wisconsin side.
The boats were hauled out one last time, onto a muddy bank and then up a steep stone staircase, then a half-mile down a gravel road that a camp staffer was grading with a Bobcat to repair washouts from the week’s torrential rain.
We were back in the everyday world now, where heavy rains and high water were not just a challenge to campcraft and boat handling but also to infrastructure — sources of mudslides, flooding and road closures, with dire forecasts of worse perhaps to come.
There were brief goodbyes, bold talk of next year … and within 90 minutes or so, most were scattered to the four winds.
Moved by the river
Looking back over last week’s columns I realize that I didn’t write about people as much this year as last, and I’m not sure why.
If anything, this group was more varied than last year’s, perhaps even more inclined to an easygoing sociability that you don’t always get in large groups in the outdoors.
Likable, too. I’d be delighted to do another trip with all but a small handful from each mob — and those others, well, I could suffer them gladly enough.
There are people who come to a river trip with the same conversational habits that carry them through daily life, and you can hear them talking amid the most breathaking beauty about car shopping and going to Vegas and the best place to buy mulch.
Which is fine, but I prefer the company of people who are distracted from all that — and muted a bit, too — by the river, the woods, wind in the pines, birdsong.
We aren’t necessarily silenced by these things, and I admit that sometimes we yammer on about gear shopping, and going to the Apostles, and the best place to buy JetBoil accessories. But the continual experience of the river is one that resists being wrapped up in words, whether spoken or written.
The better material is in stories about how people come to the river, are moved by it and changed by it, tested and bested and uplifted by it.
Last year’s trip was more challenging in that it took place on a smaller and more difficult stream that happened to be in flood, its waters unusually high and fast, and the daily count of mishaps and recoveries was often substantial.
Stories about capsizes and rescues, bear sightings and such are ready for telling right away. Others are subtler, deeper, and don’t find their true and lasting form for a while. They need reflection, ripening.
In dozens of homes across several states, they are taking shape right now.
Going in by going out
Many of them will resonate with John Muir’s oft-quoted observation, recalled for us Thursday night by park ranger Dale Cox:
I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.
I think it’s true of most people who love to trek with a paddle or a pack — certainly it’s so for me — that its greatest rewards and deepest meaning are found in moments of moving closer to one’s soul by way of traveling farther from the roofs and the ruts of one’s home.
Our first night out, at the old fur post of Forts Folle Avoine, the clouds overhead were illuminated now and again by distant lightning.
It put me in mind of the Diamond Sutra and its urging to see the world from moment to moment in all of its particularity:
So you should see this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream.
Hard to do that and do interviews at the same time.
One durable backpack
Gathering food for this trip, I renewed acquaintances with a much-loved piece of gear: the No. 574 Yucca Pack issued me by the Boy Scouts of America when I was 10 or 11 years old, I don’t remember exactly.
I do remember, however, one particular trek I made with this pack.
It was a three-day hike, in early spring, on a section of the Appalachian Trail near Clingmans Dome, along the Tennessee-North Carolina border. That last part I know for sure, for we were giddy with happiness at the chance to stand in one state and pee into another.
As I look back on this trip from a lifetime of outdoor travel, and parenting, it seems to me we were woefully unprepared and perhaps dangerously underequipped for a route that took us from baking heat up into a heavy snowstorm and back down through rain.
We wore jeans and cotton sweatshirts, flimsy hiking boots, gym socks. I had a thin, kapok-filled sleeping bag my well-meaning but inexperienced parents picked up at a garage sale; struggling to stay warm, I slept in all of my damp clothes.
As he planned the trip, our scoutmaster realized that we couldn’t possibly tote all of our gear in our soft-sided Yucca packs; we would need pack frames, extending above and below the packs, with additional lashing points for sleeping bags and air mattresses and tarps.
So we built some, out of 2×2 oak, with lawn-chair webbing stretched taut between the uprights. Heavy? You bet.
It was difficult trip for all of us boys, and my route was longer than most. I had a paralyzing fear of heights in those days, so I walked extra miles to avoid those stretches of narrow trail with a rock wall to one side and a long fall to the other.
But the places I saw and the passages they required changed my life for the better — and forever — in some ways I could tell you about and others, I’m sure, I’m still to discover.
The Yucca measures 7 inches by 14 by 17, and is built of sturdy canvas with a dozen brass D-rings for lashing on canteens and lanterns and such. Through careful planning and packing, I managed to fill it completely and neatly with the fixings for a week’s worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks.
I ate with gusto all week and still brought it home half-full.
Out of practice, I guess — need to be getting out on the trail more often.

The best dog food for Pitbulls in Austin, Texas, and the United States can be found by searching for “Best Dog Food for Pitbulls.” Some popular options include Bully Max High Performance, Nom Nom Fresh Dog Food, Crave Premium Adult Chicken, Taste of the Wild Wetlands Dry Dog Food, Diamond Naturals All Life Stages Formula, Wellness Complete Health Adult Deboned Chicken and Oatmeal, and Nulo Freestyle Adult Turkey and Sweet Potato.
Feeding your Pitbull a balanced diet with high-quality proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and cooked grains like oatmeal or brown rice is essential for their nutrition. Avoid giving them chocolate, avocados, onions or garlic, grapes or raisins, dairy products, macadamia nuts, sugary foods or drinks, and caffeine as these can be harmful to Pitbulls.
Overall, it is best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the specific dietary needs of your Pitbull.
Choosing The Right Diet For Your Pitbull
Factors To Consider When Selecting Dog Food
When it comes to choosing the right diet for your Pitbull, there are several important factors to consider. These factors will ensure that your furry friend receives the proper nutrition they need to thrive. Here are the key points to keep in mind when selecting dog food for your Pitbull: 1. Age and Life Stage: Just like humans, the dietary needs of Pitbulls can vary depending on their age and life stage. Puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs all have specific nutritional requirements that should be met for optimal health. Consider the age of your Pitbull when selecting their food. 2. Protein Content: Pitbulls are known for their muscular build, so it’s crucial to choose dog food that includes a high-quality source of protein. Look for animal-based proteins, such as chicken, beef, or fish, as the primary ingredient in their food. Avoid foods that use meat by-products or fillers. 3. Ingredients: Check the ingredient list on the dog food packaging. It’s important to avoid any artificial additives, preservatives, and fillers. Opt for dog food that includes whole, natural ingredients that provide essential nutrients. 4. Allergies and Sensitivities: Some Pitbulls may have food allergies or sensitivities. If your furry friend has any known allergies or sensitivities, choose a dog food that is specifically formulated to address their needs. Avoid common allergens such as grains, soy, and certain proteins if necessary. 5. Brand Reputation: Research the reputation of the dog food brand you’re considering. Look for brands that have a history of producing high-quality, nutritionally balanced dog food. Read reviews and consult with your veterinarian for recommendations.
Nutritional Requirements Specific To Pitbulls
Pitbulls have specific nutritional requirements that should be taken into consideration when selecting their diet. Here’s what you need to know: 1. Protein: Pitbulls are a muscular breed and require a high amount of protein in their diet. Aim for a minimum of 20% protein content in their food, but ideally, a higher percentage is beneficial. 2. Fat: While Pitbulls need protein, they also require a healthy amount of fat in their diet. Fat provides them with energy, supports their skin and coat health, and aids in nutrient absorption. Look for dog food that contains a moderate amount of healthy fats. 3. Carbohydrates: Pitbulls do not require large amounts of carbohydrates in their diet. Choose dog food that contains low to moderate levels of carbohydrates to prevent excessive weight gain. 4. Vitamins and Minerals: Pitbulls need a well-balanced mix of vitamins and minerals to support their overall health and wellbeing. Ensure that the dog food you choose includes a varied selection of essential nutrients. In conclusion, choosing the right diet for your Pitbull is crucial for their overall health and wellbeing. Consider factors such as age, protein content, ingredients, allergies, and brand reputation when making your selection. Be aware of the specific nutritional requirements that Pitbulls have, including high protein content, moderate fat levels, and low to moderate carbohydrate levels. By feeding your Pitbull a balanced and nutritious diet, you can help them live a happy and healthy life.
High-protein Diets For Pitbulls
The Importance Of Protein In A Pitbull’s Diet
When it comes to providing a well-balanced diet for your Pitbull, protein plays a crucial role in their overall health and development. As active and muscular dogs, Pitbulls require a diet rich in protein to support their energy needs, muscle growth, and repair. Protein also helps in maintaining a healthy coat, skin, and immune system. It is important to ensure that your Pitbull receives the right amount of protein to thrive and stay in optimal condition.
Recommended Protein Sources For Pitbulls
Providing your Pitbull with high-quality protein sources is essential for their well-being. Here are some recommended protein sources to include in their diet:
- Lean meats: Incorporate lean meats like chicken, turkey, and beef into your Pitbull’s diet. These meats are not only rich in protein but also provide essential amino acids that promote muscle development.
- Fish: Fish, such as salmon and sardines, are excellent sources of protein and contain omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to a healthy coat and skin for your Pitbull. Just make sure to remove any bones before feeding.
- Eggs: Eggs are another protein-packed option for your Pitbull. They are easy to digest and provide a variety of essential nutrients. Cooked eggs can be added to their meals for an extra protein boost.
- Dairy products: If your Pitbull tolerates dairy well, you can include plain yogurt or cottage cheese in their diet. These dairy products are low in lactose and high in protein, calcium, and probiotics, which contribute to healthy digestion.
- Plant-based proteins: Plant-based proteins like lentils, chickpeas, and quinoa can be included in your Pitbull’s diet as supplementary protein sources. They offer a good amount of protein while providing additional fiber and nutrients.
Remember, it is essential to consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate amount of protein and specific dietary requirements for your Pitbull based on their individual needs, age, and activity level.
Grain-free Vs. Grain-inclusive Diets
Debunking The Myth Of Grain Allergies In Pitbulls
Contrary to popular belief, Pitbulls do not have a specific allergy to grains. Many dog owners opt for grain-free diets under the assumption that their Pitbulls are intolerant or allergic to grains. However, the truth is that grains are not a common allergen for dogs, including Pitbulls. In fact, proteins, such as beef, chicken, or dairy, are the more likely culprits when it comes to food allergies in dogs. It’s essential not to jump to conclusions without proper allergy testing from a veterinarian, as removing grains from their diet may not necessarily solve any allergy-related issues.
Grain-free Diets And Their Benefits
While grains are not the main cause of allergies in Pitbulls, some dog owners still prefer grain-free diets for their pets. Grain-free dog foods are formulated without any grains, such as corn, wheat, or soy. Instead, they often contain alternative sources of carbohydrates, such as potatoes, peas, or lentils. The popularity of grain-free diets can be attributed to the belief that they better resemble a dog’s ancestral diet, which primarily consisted of meat and limited plant matter. The benefits of grain-free diets for Pitbulls include:
- Reduced risk of potential sensitivities: Since grains can be potential allergens, removing them from a Pitbull’s diet may help reduce the risk of triggering any sensitivities or allergies they may have.
- Higher protein content: Grain-free dog foods often have a higher protein content, which is beneficial for Pitbulls who require a protein-rich diet to support their active lifestyle and muscle development.
- Improved digestion: Some dog owners claim that their Pitbulls have improved digestion and show fewer signs of gastrointestinal issues when fed a grain-free diet. However, individual results may vary.
It’s important to note that while grain-free diets can offer potential benefits, they are not necessary for all Pitbulls. Each dog is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Consulting a veterinarian before switching to a grain-free diet is crucial to ensure that your Pitbull’s nutritional needs are met. In conclusion, grain allergies are not common in Pitbulls. While grain-free diets can provide benefits such as reduced sensitivities and higher protein content, it’s essential to consult a veterinarian before making any dietary changes for your Pitbull. Remember to prioritize their overall health and nutritional requirements to ensure their well-being.
Essential Nutrients For Pitbulls
Pitbulls are strong and muscular dogs that require a well-balanced diet to maintain their optimal health and energy levels. Providing them with the right nutrients is essential for their overall well-being. Here are some key nutrients that should be included in a Pitbull’s diet:

Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically, are beneficial for reducing inflammation and supporting joint health. Look for dog foods that include sources of healthy fats like salmon, flaxseed, or fish oil.
3. Carbohydrates: While Pitbulls primarily require a protein-based diet, carbohydrates provide additional energy and serve as a source of essential fiber. Look for dog foods that contain easily digestible carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, brown rice, or oats.
4. Vitamins and Minerals: Pitbulls need a wide range of vitamins and minerals to support their overall health and immune system. Look for dog foods that are fortified with essential vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and zinc.
Optimal Levels Of Carbohydrates, Fats, And Vitamins For Pitbulls
It’s important to ensure that Pitbulls receive the right balance of carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in their diet. Here are some optimal levels to consider:
|25-30% of their daily caloric intake
|10-15% of their daily caloric intake
|40-50% of their daily caloric intake
|Vitamins and Minerals
|As per the recommended daily allowance
Remember, every dog is different, and their nutritional needs may vary depending on factors like age, activity level, and health condition. It’s always best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the specific dietary requirements for your Pitbull.
By providing Pitbulls with the essential nutrients they need, you can ensure their health, energy, and overall well-being for years to come.

It turns out, Mom and Dad weren’t kidding. Adulting is hard, y’all. But while there may not be a manual for mastering this whole grown-up thing, there are a few helpful guides! With illustrations, wise words, and very healthy doses of humor, these authors are here to get you through each day.

1. The Essays: I buy in issues not only because I constantly need to know what’s going to happen next, but because of the essays in the back. Each installment has a piece by folklore scholar Zack Davisson exploring the mythology central to the issue at hand, and they are entertaining and informative both. I don’t know if this is a new trend, but the fact that three of my regular pulls (ODY-C, Bitch Planet, and Wayward) have a version of this is just The Best. (Related, if you know of any others doing this, *grabby hands*.) (Also also, I am sure the trades are nice too, and I will understand if essays are not your jam.)

Between the “All-New, All-Different” previews, solicits, and several problematic interviews, it has become increasingly clear that Marvel is struggling to represent all the colors of the rainbow. Or, really, most any shade of the LGBTQ rainbow.
That’s a shame, considering Marvel’s volume of queer characters—that rarely get used. They appear in one-shots, attend Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, make cameo appearances, and, if they’re lucky, fill out critically-acclaimed ensemble titles until the series is cut tragically short.
Given this dearth of queer series, I wanted to suggest a few legitimate options.

It is time to remedy a deep injustice, friends. We all know how hard the heroes and heroines of the comics universe work, and reward them for it; but whither their feline companions? These unsung cats provide vital and timely assistance, regularly participate in world-saving endeavors, advance plotlines, give added depth to characters, and yet are regularly overlooked. In fact, for some, we don’t even know their names. At Panels, however, we choose to honor them for their skills and efforts. Feline friends, we salute you!

In other interviews, you often mention the need for Native American comics for younger readers, but how do you see these comics being important for adult readers?
As a Native reader myself, anytime we’re in the comics and we’re portrayed in a good way, it feels good to be included and recognized. Adult readers enjoy Super Indianbecause I include cultural and generational references that resonate with them. Some older folks have been slow to see the value in telling our stories in comic form, mostly based on old prejudices. I feel when some elders saw the mini-comic I created about the Choctaw Code Talkers of World War I, they really started to see the opportunity to change stereotypes and bring light to some important stories that mainstream society had ignored.
Native people are natural born storytellers – comics are just another way to express those talents. This has really lit a creative fire under some of the older Native artists and storytellers I’ve encountered.

Two display stands, a LOT of guns, plus a rocket launcher and mortar launcher.
A pretty good retro set with extra weapons. Though, I really miss the white outline of the actual vintage cards, but I guess it is what it is.
I decided to get only one set of these just for posterity and not go the army build route for them, since I have no plans of opening the retro figures.
