Ideal screen size for dell laptops under 40000
The ideal screen size for Dell laptops under 40000 can vary depending on your personal preference and requirements. Most people opt for a smaller screen if they need to work on the go. A large screen will make it difficult to work efficiently if you need to adjust the display every few minutes. However, if you need to work on a larger screen, a small one may be sufficient for your needs.
If you’re looking for a new laptop, but aren’t sure what to look for, there are plenty of options out there. Some of the best options are laptops with 4GB RAM and 1TB of hard drive space. Others offer more RAM than that. Luckily, you can also find laptops with a ton more storage and expandable memory. And if you’re looking for a low-cost option, there are a few models with as much as 1 TB of storage.
1TB HDD storage
One of the best-selling laptops in India today, Dell laptops under 40k come with a high-quality performance and high storage. They have an ultra-thin 15.6-inch screen, Intel Core i3 processor, and up to 4GB of RAM. Users can easily multitask using this laptop. Its price under 40k makes it a good option for any budget-conscious consumer.
Intel i3-1005g1 10th Gen processor

It weighs just 1.75 kg and can run up to 6 hours of battery life.
Slim and lightweight design
The XPS 13 is one of the best ultrabooks available today, but its slim design isn’t the only reason to choose a Dell laptop. Its dual fans keep the hardware cool, and it offers excellent audio. The XPS 13 is also Wi-Fi 6 capable, though it doesn’t offer LTE connectivity. Depending on the configuration, the XPS 13 may not be the best option for you.
If you are looking for the best Dell laptop under forty thousand dollars, you should start your search with the processor. The most appropriate processor for your needs is the i5 chip. AMD also has quad-core and dual-core processors. Another important factor in choosing a laptop is the preinstalled software. You can find in-built Windows utilities and antivirus protection software.

Moment Mag: The new year of the woman
She was raised in a man’s world, never picturing herself in the spaces men occupied. “Girls didn’t get bat mitzvahs,” Jacky Rosen says. “My young self certainly couldn’t have imagined becoming a synagogue president.” But decades later—after leaving behind a computer programming career to care for her aging parents and in-laws—she took charge of Congregation Ner Tamid, the largest synagogue in Nevada. It was her first elected office.
For three years, Rosen managed a $2.5 million budget, helped lead fundraising efforts and spearheaded the building’s transition to solar energy. Most importantly, she learned how to listen with intent—to really listen. It was a demanding position, and her talents were noticed: In 2015, U.S. Senate minority leader Harry Reid personally reached out to Rosen to encourage her to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Nevada’s 3rd, a swing district represented by a Republican. Although the Las Vegas Review-Journal described her as “a political unknown” with “zero political experience,” Rosen won the Democratic primary with 62 percent of the vote. In the general election, with a 1 percent margin, she won her second elected office.

Editorial: Dear Console Developers, Please Sell Us Our Old Games Again. Thank You!
There’s no denying this new generation of consoles has brought with it numerous groundbreaking changes to the gaming world. Sure, the graphics have improved overall, online components are almost par for the course these days, and many games require you to waggle your controller in front of the screen to the amusement of those around you. And while the latest consoles may offer a wide variety of hardware differences themselves, they all share one pivotal change in common: they each offer a service to download classic games online. The Virtual Console, Xbox Live Arcade, and the Playstation Network all offer their own unique sets of games to purchase and play without even getting up from your couch. While their efforts to resell me my childhood have not been in vain, I sometimes wonder why there aren’t even more old school games showing up at a more regular pace. So who do I have to bribe to get more classic games to show up on these networks?
I brought this point up briefly once before concerning the rumors about an XBLA release of Goldeneye, and a recent installment of Sessler’s Soapbox on the same subject just made me think about it even more. With the exception of the original Star Wars trilogy, I can’t think of another instance where a large mass of people has collectively demanded to essentially be resold the same product they already bought years ago. In fact, let’s just look at the original Star Wars trilogy for moment. Over the course of my short life, I’ve already bought these three movies four separate times; and when they eventually re-re-re-re-release them in high definition, I’ll probably buy them again. Why? Well, partly because I’m a sucker. But more than that is the fact that my nostalgia and devotion for these films far outweighs their monetary value.
Granted, there’s probably not a single game that can match the pure fan devotion of Star Wars, but the fact that games like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade, and Metal Slug 3 continue to dominate the XBLA’s top downloads shows that I am not alone in this sentiment. Honestly, I’m more excited about the updated versions of Bionic Commando and Duke Nukem 3D hitting the XBLA than I am about their respective next-gen counterparts. Part of the reason for this is that I already know the old games are fun, but with the brand new installments, there’s still a chance the developers could ruin those fond memories with a poor modern version.
Which all leads to me to one question: why aren’t there more classic games available on these different downloading networks? I’m no game developer, but it seems like porting an old game to a new system would be a lot easier than creating a brand new title from scratch. All you really have to do is slap on some online multiplayer and leaderboards, sell it for $10-$15, and the gamers will thank you for it. It just seems ridiculous that almost every week seems to bring another puzzle game or side-scrolling shooter that effectively rips off older games when the developers could easily sell us the older titles for the exact same price. Developers have already complained that creating original games for some of these networks is a hassle with file size limitations, so why not cut back on that and provide something the gamers are sure to like anyway? But the biggest reason of all that developers should be porting more classic games is simply because the gamers demand it. Let’s think about that concept: a large group of people are essentially begging for the opportunity to buy a product again that they’ve already bought before. Seriously, it’s like holding a license to print money.
I guess part of the reason I want to see more classic games become available for download is I’m tired of dragging out my old consoles every time I want to play one of my favorite old games. If that means paying for them all over again, that’s fine by me. Besides which, I missed a few games when they came out the first time around; so short of scouring eBay, this is the easiest way for me and other gamers to actually experience the games we’ve only heard about. Now, where’s my Goldeneye on Xbox Live?

Steam trap survey boosts process plant performance
TLV Euro Engineering (Cheltenham, UK) - 2010/11/24
TLV Euro Engineering is offering a steam trap survey that will help to maximise the performance of steam process plants.
The company claims that each leaking steam trap could be losing up to GBP2,000 per year, so the survey, using its computerised Trapman® steam trap inspection system, is suitable for any facility using process steam.
At the heart of the Trapman® system is data from TLV's own laboratory bench tests of more than 3,000 different makes and models of steam traps (including its own range), which means that Trapman® can be used to inspect and monitor any steam trap.
The system, which features the handheld TM5 diagnostic instrument and specialised Trapmanager software, compares ultrasonic and temperature readings with known laboratory data to determine whether a steam trap is operating normally or not.
If it has failed, the system can determine the amount of steam lost through leakage.
Michael Povey, general manager, said:
'Faulty or incorrectly installed steam traps can reduce production efficiency, adversely affect product quality, increase maintenance costs and prevent compliance with environmental standards.
It can also turn a well-designed steam system into a safety hazard, with the risk of injury to personnel.'

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - Dozens of craftsmen and women are spending their weekend selling their custom goods at this year's Biloxi Visitor's Center open house.
David Trim crafts small wooden toys by hand.
"I hear this from people all the time, you can't find these anymore," said Trim.
From planes, to trains, and boats, these simple toys are usually a huge hit at craft shows.
"Besides the fact that I make them, most of them are made from unique woods or to me special woods, oak, pecan, cedar," Trim described.
Bill Raymond, who helps organize the annual open house, enjoys seeing the interest shoppers have in homemade goods.
"It's also a chance for us to showcase local artists, our craftsmen and with their work really to help promote buying local and supporting local artists," said Raymond.
Some people weren't looking to for gifts, but for something to treat themselves.
Larry Byrd says he was very impressed by the offerings.
"When you find something that's handmade, hand crafted and you know somebody put that time into it, and then you're going to give it as a gift, it means so much more," said Byrd.
With one more day left of the event, there's still time to support these artisans and knock that last person off your Christmas list.
"We always bill this as a last minute Christmas gift opportunity, because we do it the last full weekend before Christmas," said Raymond.
This is the first year the open house is a two-day event. It continues Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.


YNW Melly is aiming to stay out of prison while he prepares for a new trial.
According to NBC Miami, the legal team representing the Florida rapper has submitted a motion, urging for his release during the period leading up to his upcoming trial set for October 9th.
The paperwork says that since Melly’s co-defendant, YNW Borten, has been granted bond, Melly should receive the same treatment.
However, it’s quite unusual for defendants facing murder charges to be granted bond before their trial.
WTVJ reported that the Broward County State Attorney’s office has officially stated their intention to retry the case in July. This decision opens up an opportunity for both parties to enhance and adjust their legal strategies.
On July 22, the double murder trial of Melly (real name Jamell Demons), ended with a deadlocked jury. “Deadlocked jury” means that the jurors were unable to come to a unanimous decision regarding the verdict. In murder cases, a unanimous decision is necessary to either find the defendant guilty or acquit them.
Judge John Murphy asked the jurors twice to continue deliberations after they said they were deadlocked. But even after a third attempt, they still couldn’t reach a different outcome.
In July 2022, a Florida judge took away the possibility of the death penalty for Melly, the rapper who is in prison for a double homicide.
Melly and Bortlen are charged with the murder of Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas and Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams. They are accused of trying to make it look like a drive-by shooting. In March 2019, Melly pleaded not guilty to the charges. He talked about his arrest on Instagram that year, but the post has since been deleted.
Prosecutors claim that ballistics tests provide evidence that the victims were shot from within the Jeep. However, defense attorneys counter this by highlighting that no gun was found and argue that Melly lacked an apparent motive for the crime.

SLOW START: Moisture Improves, Cold Halts Planting
Initially the rainy weather was good news for farmers worried about the drought ridden soil, but recent cold and snow have caused another headache for farmers.
According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture only 8 percent of Iowa’s corn acreage has been planted so far this year.
In May of last year 62-percent of the corn was already in the ground. Although last year’s early spring might not be the best gauge, the five year average for corn planted by this time is 56-percent.
Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says, this is the slowest planting season since 1995.
On a better note, drought worries will likely be a thing of the past for most of the state. Nearly 60 percent of topsoil moisture levels are rated as adequate and the precipitation has continued to improve subsoil moisture levels as well.
What the farmers need now is a few warm dry days to get back in the field.

This March, a large portion of the country watched their brackets get ruined after a slew of upsets took over the tournament. Big losses occurred over the first three rounds, with tournament favorites like Gonzaga, Baylor, Alabama and Wisconsin being knocked out by the elite eight. One team, however, stood out amongst most. The Saint Peter’s Basketball team went on a three-game run in the tournament to become the farthest reaching No. 15 seed in history.
The largely-commuter school from New Jersey stunned the nation after defeating No. 2 seed Kentucky in the first round, breaking brackets and obtaining a huge amount of media attention. The team didn’t stop there either, winning their next two games over No. 7 seed Murray State before defeating No. 3 seed Purdue.
The team was overlooked by many. A small school of just 2,600 undergraduates, majority commuters and almost all who received some sort of financial aid, was not what the NCAA nor the country expected when looking at the updated bracket in the elite eight. A relatively unknown university transforming themselves into one of the most talked about schools in the nation is surely a feat.
What’s even more impressive in the grand scheme of the NCAA is the financial disparity between Saint Peter’s budget and the team they faced against. Saint Peter’s first opponent Kentucky spent approximately $130 million more on athletics than the Peacocks did. The school’s operating budget is, startlingly, less than $250,000. This also falls around Saint Peter’s head coach Shaheen Holloway’s salary of about $266,000. John Calipari, head coach of Kentucky, is one of the highest paid coaches in the NCAA with his salary rounding out to about $8 million.
As many know, the team was not invincible, falling to the University of North Carolina 69-49 and ending the Peacocks tournament career. But the team has garnered a large amount of support from the country after their winning streak, with their popularity soaring amongst media outlets and across many social media platforms.
What does their winning streak mean for the future? Two things. First, the MAAC conference is expected to receive about $6 million for the Peacocks’ success. How the money will be distributed between the teams in the conference is up in the air, despite Saint Peter’s being responsible for the money in the first place. Second, a coaching change might be in place. Holloway is expected to take the open Seton Hall head coaching position, which would result in a raise almost 10x more than his current salary. Many think whether or not he will take it is a no brainer, however the coach has declined to make statements currently, stating he cared more about his team post UNC lost.
Wherever the coach ends up, or however the money is distributed, the 2022 Saint Peter’s basketball team made history. A bracket-defying run, the team managed to upset some of the best schools in the country, and became the first No.15 seed to make it past the sweet 16. It will be interesting to see if the team can put themselves back on the board next year and maintain a place in the country’s heart.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3,342,328 DIALYZER MEMBRANE STORAGE ASEMBLY Harvey F. Swenson, 3401 17th Ave. W., Seattle, Wash. 98119 Filed Apr. 14, 1966, Ser. No. 542,674 7 Claims. (Cl. 206-632) ABSTRACT OF THE DECLOSURE A dialysis membrane envelope is stored in a sterile condition within a sterilely-sealed enclosure. The enclosure may be provided with a sterile opening through which a sterile solution can be introduced to the membrane envelope.
This is a continuation-in-part of United States patent application Ser. No. 503,002, filed October 23, 1965, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference to the extent needed and pertinent.
This invention relates to hemodialysis apparatus, and more particularly to a dialysis membrane storage assembly for maintaining dialysis membranes in a sterile, usable condition prior to their employment in hemodialysis.
-In recent years, artificial kidneys have been employed to treat patients with acute renal failure and to rehabilitate patients who would otherwise die of chronic uremia. An essential feature of an artificial kidney system is the dialyzer. The Kiil-type dialyzer, which is generally preferred, comprises two cellophane semi-permeable membrane envelopes, the border portions of which are clamped by a suitable membrane support assembly (dialyzer) such that small portions of a patients blood can pass through the envelope in counterflow to dialysis solution passing on the outer surfaces of the envelopes. The dialysis solution removes waste from the blood portions by a permeation phenomenon. Because of the nature of hemodialysis, the permeation process, or dialysis, must be conducted under carefully controlled conditions.
Prior to placement of these membrane envelopes in a dialyzer, the membranes must be maintained in a sterile and wetted condition. This commonly is accomplished by immersing the membranes in a pan containing a zepherine chloride solution. Whenever a membrane is required someone reaches into the solution takes out a membrane. This procedure is not only messy but also subjects the solution and the membrane to contamination problems. If the membranes are permitted to dry out, they may become embrittled and useless for dialysis.
The membrane is often made from cellophane or other semi-permeable material. It is as thin as can be made and handled without rupture since its permeability is greatly affected by the membrane thickness. To avoid interference with its dialyzing ability and minimize the possibility of contaminating the blood or the carefully balanced chemical solutions in contact with it during dialysis, additives which are normally used in manufacturing cellophane or other membrane sheets, to enhance its production, handling or use, cannot be added to its material content or applied to its surface. The resulting material is relatively strong when wet but brittle when dry so it is handled, stored and shipped in bundles containing many sheets so that the sheets adequately support themselves. During manufacture, the sheets are stretched as they are made and dried. But if the storage humidity is not controlled, the sheets will shrink and wrinkle, eventually resulting in cracks in the wrinkles. It is therefore advantageous to maintain the sheets in a Wet condition from manufacture to use thereby eliminating the need for humidity control.
Further, knovm dialyzers have employed individual sheets of cellophane as the membrane halves of the en- "ice velopes and because of their wetted condition, considerable diificu-lty was frequently encountered in properly positioning and stretching these sheets in the dialyzer.
A primary object of this invention is to provide a dialysis membrane storage assembly which ensures that a dialysis membrane envelope will be maintained in a sterile and, if desired, a wetted condition prior to use. Another object is to provide such apparatus which permits installing a membrane envelope in a dialyzer as a unit or kit vis-a-vis separate sheets installed individually. A further object is to provide such an assembly which is inexpensive and wherein every component is disposable.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from consideration of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 depicts a membrane kit stretched and ready for installation in a dialyzer;
FIG. 2 depicts a spool on which a membrane kit could be rolled preparatory to being sealed in a sterile enclosure;
FIG. 3 depicts a rolled membrane kit sealed in one embodiment of a sterile enclosure;
FIG. 4 is a cross section along the line 4-4 in FIG. 3; and
FIGS. 56 depict two other embodiments of a sealed sterile enclosure.
Briefly, this invention comprises a dialysis membrane envelope compactly folded or wound and placed within a sterile enclosure. The membrane envelope can be stored within the sterile enclosure in either a dry or a wet condition, as desired. Two opposite edges of the membrane envelope are provided with stiffening members which facilitate folding or winding the membrane envelope and placing it within the enclosure and which facilitates stretching the membrane envelope and installing it in a dialyzer.
FIG. 1 shows a dialysis membrane envelope 10 comprising a pair of membrane sheets 12, as of cellophane, edge-clamped together by sheet metal channel strips 14- 14 which are crimped in position. The sheets may be formed with port holes 16 in order not to interfere with the flow of dialysis solution between the end passages of a dialyzer. Each of the clamping strips 14 has a central cutout 18 and is dished outwardly, top and bottom, about the cutout for passage therethrough of a tubular extension or nipple 20 on an adapter 22. The main body of the adapter is oblong in transverse cross-section, feathering down to its longitudinal side edge, and has a longitudinal blood flow passage therethrough continuing from the bore of the nipple 20. Teeth 24 are preferably provided on the outer end portion of the nipple to aid in coupling of the blood tubes thereto. These teeth also resist separation of the adapter from between the membrane sheets 12 before use of the membrane kits. The adapters and their nipples may be formed of polyethylene.
Because of the provision of the channel strips 1414, a single operator can easily stretch and position the pairs of membrane sheets by gripping the strips at each end of the respective kit and pulling them apart to tension the sheets before positioning the kits in the dialyzer. By crimping the channel strips so that they are clamped against the opposite edges of the membrance sheets as described above, the membrane sheets are prevented from slipping relative to one another when tensioned and positioned in the dialyzer. The other two sides of the membrane sheets are left open and unrestrained to facilitate a smoother application of the membrane sheets. The function of the strips is to aid in initial positioning and assembly of the dialyzer without danger of contaminating the inside faces of the membrane sheets which will be exposed to the patients blood during dialysis, and hence is terminated upon clamping of the dialyzer components together. When dialysis is completed, the membrane kits are normally considered completely disposable, and so fresh kits are used for the next dialysis.
Pursuant to the present invention, each membrane kit may be compactly stored, after assembly of the membrane sheets, tensioning strips, and adapters, in a sterilized pack by rolling it about one of the tensioning strips or otherwise folding it into a compact roll, or the like, and packing it into a sterilizingly-sealed envelope with, if desired, the membrane sheets Wetted by a sterile solution such as zepherine chloride to prevent cracking of the sheets during storage. FIGS. 3 and 4 show the FIG. 1 membrane kit rolled onto the FIG. 2 spool 25 and sealed within a sterile plastic sheet pack 26. The pack can be conveniently formed from a rectangular sheet by positioning the folded membrane kit in the center of the sheet, bringing the edges of the sheet together and heat sealing the adjacent edges as at 28 to form a sterilizable pack. The assembly of the pack about the folded membrane kit could be done in a sterile atmosphere, as in a gas sterilizer, such that the sealed pack contains a sterile atmosphere. Alternately, some such device as a permeable wick 30 could be positioned through the heat seal as shown so that the sealed pack could be placed in a gas sterilizer and the pack interior and membrane kit sterilized through the wick. The permeability of the wick should be sufficiently low that little or no air interchange with the sterilized gas entrapped in the pack will occur after sterilization. Should it be desired that a wetting and sterilizing medium such as zepherine chloride be added to the sterile pack, such medium could be added, before, during or after gas sterilization, through the wick 30.
' FIG 5 depicts a variation of the FIGS 3-4 pack wherein a breakable ampule 32, filled with a wetting and sterilizing medium, is positioned within the pack before heat sealing. The ampule can be broken to release the medium into the pack interior.
FIG. 6 depicts still another variation of the FIGS 3-4 pack wherein a valve 34 is provided in one of the pack side walls to enable a needle, or the like, to be inserted into the pack interior for injection of a wetting and sterilizing medium.
Instead of rolling the membrane kit as shown in the FIGS, the membrane kit could be folded in accordion pleats to provide a compact unit for packing. The important feature, is that the membrane kit should be placed in a compact form to facilitate packing, storage and shipping. The pack can be fabricated from more rigid materials which may or may not be closable by heat sealing. Because the membrane kit is disposable and hence must be relatively inexpensive to be practical, light weight inexpensive flexible heat sealable plastic sheeting which is moisture proof and capable of substantially holding a sterile gas would be preferable, however. Expensive pack aging materials would not be particularly adapted for use in the invention where an important aim is to provide an inexpensive, sterile and conveniently installable membrane kit for hemodialysis.
By the present invention membrane sheets could be packaged by the manufacturer in a Wetted and sterile state so that the sheets are never dried. Thus, the sheet could be made thinner by taking advantage of its wet strength and humidity problems encountered with dry sheets could be eliminated.
It is believed that the invention will have been clearly understood from the foregoing detailed description of my now-preferred illustrated embodiment. Changes in the details of construction may be restored to without departing from the spirit of the invention and it is accordingly my intention that no limitations be implied and that the hereto annexed claims be given the broadest interpretation to which the employed language fairly admits.

Despite its enduring appeal, is herringbone tile design timeless? The answer lies in its versatility. The same tiles can be used to create herringbone patterns in different rooms, including bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways. The key is to find tiles in different tones or shades. For instance, you can create a herringbone pattern with any color you like – red, blue, yellow, green, etc.
If you are new to the art of decorating, it can be overwhelming. The good news is that there are many easy and affordable ways to update your home decor without a major expense. Premium vinyl peel and stick herringbone backsplash tiles are a great decorative product. If you are not confident in your DIY skills, you can seek assistance from professionals. You can also try the DIY approach. However, if you’re looking for a simple and timeless backsplash tile, consider choosing a natural stone one.
If you’re working with a transitional kitchen, a gray herringbone backsplash works well. The backsplash helps pop the island in the kitchen and adds texture. The white cabinetry and the black countertop are the perfect complements to the gray herringbone backsplash tile. For a rustic look, consider using white tiles, a wooden shelf, and black handles. A metal range hood will help create a focal point.
If you’re planning on installing herringbone tile in your kitchen, be sure to use a durable, moisture-resistant material. Laminate herringbone tiles are easy to clean and are scratch-resistant. They’re also easy to install, and are ideal for high-traffic areas. They’re even great for use over a radiant heating system. If you’re not confident with your tile cutting skills, you can use a carpenter’s square in a “V” position. Another option is to use a cardboard template, or a subway tile as a guide.

MANTEO, N.C. (WNCN) — Amid a coastal flood warning, several spots on the Eastern Shore and the Outer Banks were underwater just a day before Christmas Eve.
Residents in Onancock tell 10 On Your Side that some docks and yards are underwater as the area continues to be hit by strong gusts of wind.
N.C. 12, which is typically hit by storms, was flooded by 3 p.m. on Friday, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
N.C. 12 in Salvo and Colington Road in Kill Devil Hills is closed due to soundside flooding. Additional flooding is occurring on the Nags Head-Manteo causeway.
Also, the town of Manteo was flooded with what appeared to be about two feet of water. Flooding appeared to start around 10 a.m. on Friday in Manteo.
The next high tide is a 7 p.m. so more flooding is possible around then. Officials said N.C. 12 should reopen by 10 p.m.
The area is being hit by western wind gusts of up to 50 mph.
Along with winds and flooding, the Outer Banks will see wind-chill temperatures in the single digits Friday night. The warmest area is expected to be Frisco at 9 degrees wind-chill overnight.
The National Weather Service also issued a High Wind Advisory, a High Surf Advisory, and a Wind Chill Advisory for portions of the Eastern Shore and the Outer Banks. Gale Warnings are also in place for Dare County coastal waters.

Advanced Totals Targeting
Our color-coding makes it quick and easy to find the high and low point totals for the week. These are strategically based on league averages from the past few seasons. The average NFL game total is just a hair under 45 points over that span. We start considering games "avoids" and marking them red once they get to 41 points or below, while we start considering them "targets" and marking them in green when they exceed the 46 points plateau.
Using this tool, you'll be able to target teams expected by Vegas to be playing up in pace and efficicncy. Comparing a teams projected total to their season average will give you a good estimate of if that team is going to be scoring more fantasy points than they do on average and you'll want to target players on that team. The opposite goes for teams projected for less than then their season average.

Hitler's Day of German Art 1938 - The Programme of the Procession - First Published as 'Zweitausend Jahre Deutsche Kunst - Festzug Am Tag Der Deutscheby Joachim Von Halasz
'Hitler's Day of German Art 1938 - The Programme of the Procession' provides a unique insight into the very little known celebrations, which took place at each opening of the annual Great German Art Exhibition from 1937 to 1944. This visitor programme booklet provides a comprehensive listing of all parts of the procession including descriptions, images and a map showing the route of the procession.
The Day of German Art usually took place in July and celebrations lasted three days, starting on a Friday. The Sunday marked the climax with the official opening of the exhibition in the House of German Art and a large procession entitled '2,000 Years of German Culture' moved through the streets of Munich. The procession illustrated German history, legends and myths and how they were linked to the Third Reich.
The reprint of this rare book will be welcomed by scholars of the period as an indispensable primary source offering a valuable perspective on the formation and development of Nazi ideology.

Poem For Today: F. Scott Fitzgerald Reads John Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale”
“Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music: — Do I wake or sleep?”
With thanks to Maria Popova @ brainpickings for this Scott Fitzgerald rarity.
Keats House is where the poet John Keats lived from 1818 to 1820, and is the setting that inspired some of his most memorable poetry.
Here, Keats wrote ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, and fell in love with Fanny Brawne, the girl next door. It was from this house that he travelled to Rome, where he died of tuberculosis aged just 25.
Keats House was built in 1815 as a pair of semi-detached houses known as Wentworth Place. Keats lodged in the smaller dwelling with his friend, Charles Brown from 1818 to 1820 and wrote some of his best-loved poems there. Situated near Hampstead Heath, Keats House was one of the first to be built in the area and was granted Grade 1 listed status by English Heritage in 1950. The house opened to the public as a memorial to John Keats on 9 May 1925.

A twist to the story about the talented kid who quit American Idol after making the top 12.
The question in my mind still remains, Why?
Did he get tapped on the shoulder by the illuminati/Cabal to join their cult, did he turn them down?
It’s not a secret that the illuminati has infiltrated the music industry. If there is money to be made the illuminati is there to make it off of the backs of these talented young stars. If these budding stars want fame and fortune they must sell their soul or become a “no name” or a “one hit wonder”. Remember those songs we would hear, a great song by a band never to be heard of again…ever wonder why? Now you know.

Tom Brady’s decision to cut his retirement short and return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday wasn’t a surprise to everyone.
According to an ESPN report, several Las Vegas sportsbooks received significant bets on the Bucs to win the Super Bowl in the days prior to Brady’s announcement.
With Tampa’s title odds at around 50-1, bets upwards of $10,000 came in Thursday at SuperBook, South Point and Circa Sports. This caused those books to adjust their odds without knowing why the flurry of action was coming in.
SuperBook thought it could even be news that Deshaun Watson was headed to the Bucs, sportsbook manager Randy Blum told ESPN. It wasn’t until Sunday when they found out with the rest of us that Brady was back.
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) March 13, 2022
“There is no doubt in my mind that information leaked sometime in the middle of last week,” SuperBook vice president Jay Kornegay told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “This is concerning. I don’t think I’ve ever said the NFL really needs to investigate something. But this is something they need to look into and how it got out, because there are many books that took some sizable wagers in the middle of last week.”
Circa Sports took a “significant” bet at 30-1 odds on the Bucs to win the Super Bowl. Sportsbook manager Chris Bennett said he’s “confident” the bettor knew Brady was coming back.
South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews said he has a multi-six figure liability on the Bucs, and that he has a feeling that one bettor in particular who placed several bets Thursday “had good information”.
Brady’s official announcement only caused more chaos, as it came in the hours after the NCAA men’s basketball tournament field was announced and books were working to get up those odds. They quickly had to turn their attention to updating NFL futures, as a few bets snuck in beforehand.

InterAction process launched
Preparations have begun in a process to seek justice for survivors of historic child abuse in Scotland.
The Scottish Human Rights Commission with the Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland (CELCIS) have today launched a website ahead of an ‘InterAction’ meeting to take place in October.
The InterAction will bring together former residents, representatives of institutions, government and others with responsibility to consider how recommendations made by the Commission in 2010 can be taken forward in practical and meaningful ways. The aim is to develop an Action Plan for justice within a human rights context.
Since historical child abuse was first raised in the Scottish Parliament there has been an ongoing national discussion about what needs to be done to put right the harm done and to make sure children who are looked after are safe and properly cared for in the future. The Scottish Government has taken forward a number of actions to date including establishing the SurvivorScotland programme and a pilot confidential forum, Time to be Heard, which provided an opportunity for former residents of child care institutions to be heard and have their experiences recorded.
The InterAction is separate to the recently launched Scottish Government consultation on establishing legislation to create a National Confidential Forum, however the Scottish Government has also committed to taking part in the InterAction process.
Duncan Wilson, head of Legal and Strategy at the Commission said: “We are pleased that the preparation for the InterAction is now underway. To make the process work we need all of those affected to contribute to the preparations, led by CELCIS.
“The InterAction process will take a pragmatic approach to achieving the principle of justice for all survivors. It will allow all of those affected to outline what they believe is required, and how practically it can best be secured to advance justice for survivors of historic child abuse, which is long overdue.
“We invite everyone with an interest in ensuring the InterAction is successfully delivered in constructive and realistic way to contact CELCIS to find out more about how to take part.”
Jennifer Davidson, Director of CELCIS said: “CELCIS is delighted to be working in partnership with the Commission to help promote the Human Rights Framework for people affected by abuse when 'in care'. This reflects our longstanding commitment to the prevention of, and concerns about the impact of this form of injustice.
“We are assisting the Commission in the process of preparing for an InterAction, which will give those affected by historic child abuse while in care in Scotland, as well as government, institutions, civil society and others with an interest, a voice on how the Human Rights Framework should be implemented.”
In 2010 the Commission developed a Human Rights Framework for the design and implementation of a comprehensive and progressive process of justice for survivors of historic child abuse. The Human Rights Framework is based on international human rights law, including European and United Nations human rights treaties, research on the views of survivors and others whose rights were affected, and experiences from several different countries.
The Framework is a best practice model and holds great potential in providing justice for abuse survivors. Amongst the central recommendations in the Framework are that the Scottish Government:
Ensures full and effective participation of survivors and others whose rights are affected in all decisions on next steps.
Ensures accountability for human rights violations including through investigations capable of determining not only what happened but why and how it can be avoided in the future, as well as prosecutions where appropriate.
Identifies and addresses barriers faced by survivors in effectively accessing justice.
Develops as effective as possible a reparations package which includes opportunities for restitution, adequate compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition.
Considers the development of legislation to facilitate apologies by institutions.
Those who wish to engage with the InterAction should visit www.shrcinteraction.org
The Scottish Government consultation on establishing a National Confidential Forum is online here.
SurvivorScotland, developed by the Scottish Government, oversees the National Strategy for survivors of childhood abuse. If you need advice or information about support services please use the resource list online at their website.
What is the timescale for the InterAction process?
The first InterAction meeting is currently planned to take place in October 2012. The number and timing of any further events will be dependent on the outcome of the first meeting. As well as face to face meetings the preparation for the InterAction will hear from people through surveys, questionnaires and other feedback methods.
What remedies will the InterAction offer?
None. The InterAction is one of a series of steps towards achieving justice for survivors but it is a progressive forum for discussion, not an agency which has any remit, powers or mandate to recommend or award any remedies, including compensation. In international law compensation is one of five ways that the State i.e. the Scottish Government can make reparations:
Satisfaction - many survivors in Scotland, as elsewhere, have called for measures of satisfaction such as effective apologies and a formal recording of the truth. In relation to securing effective apologies there are international principles of best practice on the form an apology should take.
Restitution - restoring things that were lost due to the abuse.
Rehabilitation - can involve access to mental health services such as counselling, as well as other courses - in Scotland some survivors have suggested parenting skills would be useful.
Adequate compensation - compensation should be available, the amount to be determined on an individual basis and should be an amount which can be considered “just satisfaction” for the abuse of rights endured.
Guarantees of non-repetition - reparation is also forward looking, to identify what went wrong and learn lessons for the future.

CBI asked to have a relook at Aarushi murder case
Bangalore: In the wake of "public sentiment" in the Aarushi Talwar murder case, the Law Ministry has asked the CBI to have a fresh look at the closure report in the teenager`s death probe, Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said on Sunday.
"CBI is an independent and autonomous organisation. We cannot give directions to it. In the wake of public sentiment in the Aarushi murder case, we called for a meeting of the CBI officials and have asked them to have a relook at the closure report they have submitted on the matter," he told reporters here.
CBI had on December 29 filed a closure report in the case before a court on the grounds there was no available evidence at the crime scene to pursue the probe, meeting a
dead-end in the case that shook the country over two years back.
Moily had lamented that the CBI failed to "properly investigate" the case and had said he would take a "serious" look into "how such a lapse" took place.
To a question on the Opposition threatening to boycott the coming budget session, if their demand for a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into the 2G spectrum scam
was not met, Moily termed the warning as "irresponsible statements".
"A CBI inquiry has already been conducted and a PAC (Parliamentary Affairs Committee) probe is on. If beyond this they feel the necessity of subjecting this (scam) to JPC probe, they have to substantiate it, discuss and debate it in Parliament. Their attitude (of threatening to boycott the budget session) only reveals their breach of duty," Moily said on the sidelines of a function at the Vivesvaraya College of Engineering here.

No argument here — the Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School mock trial team defeated 45 schools in the courtroom to win the Nassau County Championship in the 2014 New York State Mock Trial tournament.
Coordinated each year by the Nassau County Bar Association, Nassau boasts the largest team enrollment for a single county in the state in this competition, which pits high school teams against one another to argue their case before judges in courtrooms of the Supreme Court in Mineola. This year, 118 attorneys and judges volunteered and more than 500 students from 46 high schools competed in seven rounds, consisting of 77 trials.
The Plainview-Old Bethpage champions went on to compete for the state title in Albany in mid-May, placing fourth in the finals.

The last date of this workshop series is all about Buchla. One of the most iconic names in modular history is still a mystery to most – so we’ll have a look at the Music Easel, their modular line and we’ll listen to some of the sounds that build the legacy of this brand. So this evening is an invitation to all that are not familiar with Buchla and want to get their head around these special synthesizers. To get an impression of how it feels to dive into the rabbit hole named Buchla Music Easel, we invited one of our customers to talk about his first months with this instrument.
Updates about synthesizer events and electronic devices for music and arts.

If someone were to create a list of the world’s fastest automobiles, it would be impossible to leave Lamborghinis off of that list. This luxury vehicle is known around the world as one of the fastest cars ever to exist.
In fact, it is mostly the speed and power of Lamborghinis that has propelled them into the spotlight and drawn the attention of car fans far and wide, although their beautiful, flashy designs definitely help with that, too. The exhilarating speed of Lamborghinis should not come as a surprise, as they were designed to compete with other incredibly fast and powerful cars in Italy, such as Ferraris.
Lamborghinis are able to reach such impressively high speeds because every single part of their designs has been carefully chosen to enhance their high-speed performance.
A big part of the Lamborghini’s speed potential comes from its shape, which draws from the aerodynamic design of planes and rockets and improves its air resistance while sticking to the ground no matter what. The fact that Lamborghinis are designed to be extremely lightweight without sacrificing their stability is another major contributing factor to their speed.
How fast can a Lamborghini drive?
As mentioned, Lamborghinis are among some of the fastest cars in the world. However, it is impossible to refer to a set-top speed that all Lamborghinis can hit, as there are many models available, all of which have different top speeds due to various factors concerning their designs.
The following are some of the fastest Lamborghinis that exist and the impressive statistics that they boast:
1. The Lamborghini Veneno
The Lamborghini Veneno, which was unveiled in 2013 to celebrate Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary, is known as the fastest Lamborghini of all. With a massive 6.5-liter V12 engine that can produce 740 horsepower and 507 lb-ft of torque, the Lamborghini Veneno can reach a top speed of 221 mph. The Veneno’s lightweight carbon fiber body also makes such high speeds possible.
2. The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
The Lamborghini Aventador, of which there were only 900 units produced worldwide, is not too far behind the Veneno when it comes to speed, with its top speed coming in at 217 mph.
The Aventador SVJ has a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 770 horsepower and 531 ft-lb of torque. The car also includes an innovative ALA 2.0 (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) system that contributes to its speed.
3. The Lamborghini Aventador S
The Lamborghini Aventador S, which was released in 2017, is also able to reach a top speed of 217 mph. The Aventador S has a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 730 horsepower and 507 lb-ft of torque. It also has enhanced aerodynamics and an updated suspension system that makes a difference in its speed.
4. The Lamborghini Sian
With an engine that has 819 horsepower and 720 lb-ft of torque, the Lamborghini Sian is currently the most powerful Lamborghini on the market. This Lambo gets its impressive power from a supercapacitor-based hybrid powertrain that combines a V12 engine’s power with even more strength from electricity. All that power also gives this vehicle an impressive top speed of 217.5 mph.
5. The Lamborghini Centenario
The Lamborghini Centenario, the limited edition car that was designed to commemorate Ferruccio Lamborghini’s 100th birthday, is yet another Lamborghini with a top speed of 217 mph.
Its 6.5-liter V12 engine has an impressive 770 horsepower, and the car can go from 0-100 km/h in under 2.8 seconds. The Centenario can also accelerate to 186.4 mph from a standstill in only 23.5 seconds.
6. The Lamborghini Diablo GT
The Lamborghini Diablo GT is a race-oriented version of the Diablo that is powered by a 6-liter V12 engine that generates 575 horsepower. The Lamborghini Diablo GT has a top speed of 210 mph, which highlights Lamborghini’s racing pedigree well.
7. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Yet another very limited model by Lamborghini is the Sesto Elemento, of which only 20 units were made back in 2010.
Despite having a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 570 horsepower, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is incredibly lightweight thanks to its extensive use of carbon fiber, weighing only 999 kilograms. Its extremely lightweight design allows the Sesto Elemento to reach a top speed of 210 mph.
8. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV
The high-performance version of the Murcielago, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV has a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 661 horsepower. SV is short for “Super Veloce,” which translates to “super fast” in English, and this car definitely deserves its name. It has a top speed of 209 mph.
9. The Lamborghini Huracan Performante
The Lamborghini Huracan Performante is the high-performance version of the Huracan, and under its hood is a 5.2-liter V10 engine that produces 631 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque.
The Huracan Performante is another of Lamborghini’s models that contains an Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva system, and it has a top speed of 202 mph. This car performs particularly well on the track, and holds the production car lap record at Nürburgring.
10. The Lamborghini Huracan Evo
Representing an evolved version of the original Huracan, the Lamborghini Huracan Evo has an identical V10 engine to the Performante, but it boasts improved aerodynamics as well as an updated Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata system, which boosts its performance and control.
Like the Performante, the Huracan Evo also has a top speed of 202 mph.

Have you ever heard about the lemon car? If yes, then you will know the person who has dealt with it. It can happen to anyone, so if you ever have to face this thing, you may come through many things.
There are so many things you have to consider and so many requirements to fulfill, and only you will claim it.
Lemon law is designed to give the right to the buyer; through this, they can get a refund or replacement for the fraud that has happened to them.
Now the questions which may arise in your mind if you are going through the same situation and those are mentioned in the following points-
Things that make the car lemon
- The car has a substantial defect that can be cover by the warranty if the car is in the warranty period, and the defect should be present there even after giving it for repair multiple times.
- If the car has not been any defect in the warranty period and you face a problem after that, you cannot claim it. Even if you are facing a warranty problem, you also need to do it directly to the dealer and not any other mechanic.
- To apply the lemon law, the car should have some substantial defect, which means that the defect should be serious, interfering with the car’s operations. For example, the defect which affects the operation of brakes.
- You need to make sure that the defects which have to happen to your vehicle should be within a certain period of time, which is, it should be within the warranty period.


As you can see, I'm almost done with some exceptions. The overall to do list is as follows:
- Front corner bumpers
- Cutout for arms and legs (will wait until later)
- Modify rear corner bumpers
- Design front charge panel removal
- Design front hatch removal
- Design rear hatch removal
In the movie, the fasteners were flat head type fasteners but because my material is very thin, I didn't have enough thickness for the countersunk heads. So, I decided to change them to button heads with the exception of the red button panel which will have socket head cap screws.
I'll make some adjustments to the WALL-E logo on the front as well. Right now, they are just raised above the surface. I'll go back and add a fillet to attachment point and on the top to make it look like it was metal stamped on there rather than keeping the current sharp look of it.
Here's the rear body of WALL-E. I still need to work on those bumpers on the bottom but besides that, I'm very pleased with how it came out.
.. and here, I went ahead and changed the height of the lower portion of the piston to make them different from the top.
Here's the rear hatch. It will come off as a single piece for rear access. Hopefully the handle will be strong enough to support the weight of the Igloo Playmate Elite cooler. If not, I'll have to increase the length of the inner bracket or have a cross support bracket from flange to flange and attach it to that.
It's currently just bolted to the inner side walls. I may have to use MDF for these walls as a precaution.
Well, that's it for now. Good night.
Update: Actually, I was going to sleep but something was weird when I was trying to mate some pieces. It's been happening for a while but some mates wouldn't work and it would say that it would overdefine my components when it would just fully define them. I was really confused for the longest time.
Here's the culprit:
For some reason, the bottom and the left side (which is suppose to be perpendicular) was 90.20 degrees. I have no idea how that happened. A lot of my components are made using external references so when I created another component based on this component, that 90.20 degrees would carry over to the new piece and then another piece would carry that on and so forth until most of my rear hatch assembly pieces were all off by 0.20 degrees.
I didn't know this and it actually carried over into my Rev. A model as well. Honestly speaking, it wouldn't have made much of a difference during assembly because of the tolerances in the machining but it's nice to know why SolidWorks was giving me problems.
Now that's out of the way, I can finally sleep.
