Forget the 29er's of the past. The Yeti SB4.5 frame is designed specifically to optimize the 29" wheel platform and has a distinctly different personality. Riders will feel perfectly balanced between the wheels instead feeling top heavy or awkward. The proficient Switch Infinity suspension platform and short chainstays make this bike feel effortless on climbs and lively and plush on descents. For a bike that so clearly excels at climbing, the SB4.5 is incredibly balanced because of its long top tube and slack 67.4-degree head angle. Coupled with a optimal chainstay length and Switch Infinity suspension the SB4.5 feels more capable that a traditional 4.5" travel bike.
Turq Series bikes are made with the highest quality carbon fiber available and offer the perfect balance of stiffness and compliance. The result is a bike that feels smooth, solid and aggressive. Every bike is tested by the best racers in the world, including EWS World Champion Richie Rude, our in-house testing team and ambassadors around the world.
The Switch Infinity is a simple, lightweight, bombproof system built by Fox Racing Shox from proven suspension components and engineered and tested to withstand the worst riding conditions. They only use the best components in its construction such as Kashima coated stanchions for low friction and durability, seals and bushings that are used in Fox's off-road racing division, and a lightweight forged translating pivot. These parts have been field tested for over three years and the original bushings, seals, and stanchions are still in perfect working condition.
Combine a wide gear ratio with the nimble SB4.5 and you have unstoppable climbing prowess. Take the SB4.5's 29er wheels and combine it with SRAM's massive gear ratio Eagle drivetrain for a bike with unstoppable climbing prowess. SRAM Guide R brakes offer modulation perfection and the stopping power you need if you get in too deep.

The NFL got off to a terrific start this past week with a some terrific stories and a few upsets. Week 2 kicks off on Thursday night with an NFC North rivalry game featuring the Chicago Bears on the road to face Green Bay.
Here is a look at the complete schedule of games for this week and a preview of the top contests and prime-time telecasts.
Washington and rookie quarterback Robert Griffin look to start the year 2-0 as the Redskins travel to St Louis. Griffin was very impressive in the team's win over New OrlÃ©ans to start the season and now faces a Rams defense that had three interception in Detroit this weekend.
The Sunday night game has two of the better teams in the NFC facing off with the Detroit Lions taking on the 49ers in San Francisco. The Lions and their high-powered passing attack will look to upset the 49ers and their top defense as both teams enter the contest with a 1-0 record on the season.
Monday night on ESPN features two teams that started the year with impressive wins. Denver opened the year with a tough win over Pittsburgh and Peyton Manning looked like his old self in his dÃ©but with the Broncos. Atlanta used a strong performance from young quarterback Matt Ryan to defeat Kansas City 40-24.
The NFL was tough for most of the rookie quarterbacks in Week 1, but teams generally make the biggest improvements over the next week as coaches learn a bit more of what their younger players can do and new coaches have a better idea of what to expect from their new team.

Tom Noe's poems “The Soul for Sale on eBay,” “Hiroshima,” “Awakening Next to My Wife,” “A New Kingdom of the Old,” and “The Lecher and the Wise Man” will all be appearing in Relief 4.1. Below is a note from Tom followed by his poem "Hiroshima." In Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons, Thomas More says that God intends for a human person to serve him “wittingly, in the tangle of his mind.” In writing poetry--the tangled interplay of word, image, sound, evocation and association--the mind probes the complexities of the heart in order to create and communicate beauty. For me, the best poem would be a coherent marriage of beautiful images, beautiful words and beautiful ideas. That’s the goal I strive for.
World War True pursued its end in sins of the flash hydrogenising, rendering Homo Icarus a skeleton before his splash.
No matter whether or when its fire devours you or wind explodes you please take the turning either left or right into no matter it is all unto filmed ruination.
No time to flip coins hoping the reverse of the future comes up.
These facts dissolve the breath quoted in Genesis 1: --1 in a quadrillionth of a second when the blind saw the dying as the phosphorescence of a smoking white jewel its silting folds of lightning fog reflecting whispers of lit faces the cloud a pearl in the shell of earth's verticality of beauty.
Open your eyes to become blind part your lips unless there is time left to sing words to bear the displaced weight of what can't be spoken.
A rising continent of superheated air shrouded in the jewel and the accrual of death steaming the skin of the sea off.
We will make a star so that the scent of death reaches, touches every face.
Tom Noe is a professional editor and writer whose book publishing credits include: The Sixth Day (for children), Into the Lions’ Den and A Friend in God.His most recent project was the libretto for an opera based on the story of Eros and Psyche from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. He’s currently working on a new play set in a Catholic Worker house of hospitality. His poetry can be found in Relief issue 4.1

After weeks of wrangling, Bayer, a German drug as well as crop additives corporation, has won over Monsanto with an increased takeover offer of about $66 billion, bringing an end to months of wrangling. The $128 per share offer, which is up from Bayer's previous offer of $127.50 per share, is the highest cash bid in history and the largest of the year so far. In the fast-consolidating farm supplies business, the merger would establish a group that controls more than a fifth of the overall global market for seeds and pesticides. Competition regulators are expected to strongly scrutinise the offer, and some of Bayer's own shareholders have been outspoken in their objections to an acquisition bid.

Certainly. That’s how orchids reproduce in nature. However, there’s a big caveat.
Majority of the orchids have both male and female parts, so they can self-pollinate. But to ensure a healthy and diverse gene pool, orchids are really designed to pollinate with another flower. Once pollinated, seed pods will begin to develop. Depending on the species, it may take months for the seed pods to mature.
The reason orchid seeds are so light is that they contain no nutrients to germinate and sustain baby plants. This is quite different from the norm in the plant kingdom–most seeds do have reserve to at least keep it alive for a while.
And because of this lack of reserve, orchid seeds need to find food immediately. Nature has the most amazing way to provide. Orchid seeds have a symbiotic relationship with a mycorrhizal fungi. Orchids feed on the nutrient that is the result of the process and begin to germinate. This mycorrhizal fungi exist in the orchids’ natural habitat only. That means different orchids work with only specific type of fungi.
You may ask, “how do nurseries produce so many plants when the process is so particular?” You guessed it, human of course has some way to duplicate nature. But instead of going to scout for the specific fungi, we provide the nutrients that would be resulted from the symbiotic relationship.
After we harvest the orchid seeds, they are put into a disinfected flask along with a jelly-like substance full of nutrients. The flask is carefully sealed so nothing undesirable would be present. The orchid seeds will germinate if the flask is squeaky clean with healthy seeds. You may also need to transplant the little plants into another disinfected flask to allow more room to grow. With this method, many of the million orchid seeds in one pod will be able to grow into orchids.
Once they grow proper roots, you can de-flask and plant them into the appropriate medium.
From the time of pollination to the first flowering can easily take 3 to 6 years! That means if the orchid turns out to have ugly duck flowers, you wouldn’t know until many years have gone by. So make sure you are investing your time wisely and only reproduce with super winner orchids. And of course, if you know the genetics of orchids, you will have a better chance of producing gorgeous flowers.
American Orchid Society published a list of orchid seed pod harvesting time.

Canada’s oil and gas workers are retiring faster than they can be replaced and to make matters worse, universities appear ill-equipped to provide the practical skills needed for young new hires to hit the ground running
No matter how many talented young people flock to Canada’s oil patch, the tremendous wealth of experience being lost from the hordes of Baby Boomers set to retire in the coming years can never be fully replaced
A funny thing happens when oil prices go up. Suddenly, headhunters come out of the woodwork in provinces such as Alberta
Wage inflation and labour shortages could derail or even lead to the cancellation of some energy projects, David Collyer, president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, tells FP Energy editor Yadullah Hussain.
The oil and gas industry depends heavily on the construction industry to execute its projects before it can go anywhere near realizing production from an oil and gas well. But construction itself faces an impending labour crisis.
Oil and natural gas are two of our biggest resources, but how much are we willing to pay the people who help to find it, extract it, and refine it?
Any legitimate job offering $80,000-plus as a starting salary should be an easy sell to students in these troubled economic times, right? Wrong.
Canada’s oilsands industry isn’t just one of the country’s key economic drivers
It is a luxurious image of an industry known for some of the world’s harshest working environments that will undoubtedly help to tackle a mounting labour shortage, though it remains far from the norm
Philip Cross: Canadians are anything but the robotic automatons portrayed in models and blanket increases in pension coverage are needless
'We have created go-to tools for staff and customers — in-store kiosks, online cataloguing — we’ve rolled out WiFi to every one of our stores,' COO says
William Watson: If our middle class is the world’s richest, do we really need to elect Mr. Trudeau to help it out of the hole it hasn’t fallen into?
Some cities have it worse than others. In Montreal, prices spiked eight cents between Tuesday and Wednesday to nearly $1.53

Original mezzotint engraving by Sir Frank Short.
Superb signed proof impression of this wonderful nocturne showing London at night during a blackout in the First World War.
This magnificent original mezzotint is Sir Frank Short’s only War subject.
A beautiful proof impression with exceptional tonal range, from the famous mezzotint collection of the Honourable Christopher Lennox-Boyd.
The Night Picket Boat at Hammersmith is a tour-de-force of mezzotint engraving which displays the artist's genius in his interpretation of the effects of light through the mezzotint medium at their most inspired. On a moonlit night during the wartime blackouts the picket boat, with a single lamp, is seen from Hammersmith Bridge, leaving a bright wake as it moves upstream against the current; some Thames barges are moored at the left, whilst the silhouette of the famous Harrod’s Depository looms large on the opposite, southern bank of the river. Frank Short noted that he “often saw this effect when doing volunteer Police work at Hammersmith during the War”. Blackouts had been instituted in London since the autumn of 1915 due to the zeppelin bombing raids which the Germans had launched against the British capital. These zeppelin bombing raids were amongst the first aerial attacks in the history of warfare.
At this time Sir Frank Short was one of the few artists to use the medium of mezzotint for making original prints. Even before the Victorian era, mezzotint had become widely associated with reproductive printmaking and after the advent of photography it fell gradually into decline. Sir Frank Short was to demonstrate in plates such as The Night Picket Boat at Hammersmith that truly magnificent original works of art could be created through this painstaking process. Aside from the sheer physical difficulties of making a mezzotint, it must be borne in mind that to work in mezzotint, the artist must think in terms of creating white from blackness. A freshly grounded plate would print pure black and the image is created by the artist smoothing away areas which, when wiped, will print white. In this respect, creating a mezzotint is the absolute opposite to drawing, etching, or line engraving, all of which involve creating the image out of black lines drawn by the artist.
Short was also one of the first artists ever to create a mezzotint image directly onto the plate from nature, although he had abandoned the process by 1927 “as being too difficult to be any advantage”. A marvellous achievement of atmospheric mezzotint, The Night Picket Boat at Hammersmith is widely considered to be one of Sir Frank Short’s greatest original mezzotint engravings.
On heavy wove paper with full margins. One or two minor blemishes, mild foxing in outer margins, otherwise generally very good original condition.
Provenance: Collection of the Honourable Christopher Lennox-Boyd.


Health Spox dismisses US' claim over Doctors Without Borders
Tehran (IP)- The spokesman of the Ministry of Health Kianoosh Jahanpoor dismissed the unfounded allegation made by the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo over the rejection of Doctors Without Borders' help by Iran.
Iran Press/ Iran News: Answering Iran Press question via video conference on Thursday, Kianoosh Jahanpoor noted: "We do not expect the US Secretary of State tells the truth. We must seek the truth. Iran has not dismissed the French medical group including a doctor and field hospital and six others."
"We know what to do in this regard and embrace the help made by the Doctors Without Borders. The group's services are directed for foreign nationals grappling with the Coronavirus. There is no room to dismiss them. The French group has a visa and they are warmly welcomed," Jahanpoor said. 104/207


The term Broadband has been used to describe a number of things over the years, but when you mention Broadband to most people these days, they think of high-speed Internet. The term Broadband Internet is used by service providers to describe the high speed services on offer to connect to the Internet using either DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services or Cable. A Broadband Router is a device that routes data packets to and from a Local Area Network and the Internet via an interface supporting one of a number of DSL Broadband technologies.
The first time I heard the term Broadband was when studying to be a Radio Officer and learning Radio Theory. A Broadband Antenna was one which was not resonant at a particular frequency but would work over a range of frequencies. We used to discuss methods of "Broadbanding an Antenna".
In the early 1980s, the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) was devised with what was known as Basic Rate Access with fixed 64Kbps channels and Primary Rate Access with either 1.544Mbps or 2.048Mbps. Broadband was used to describe ISDN Services above the Primary Rates, and normally referred to Optical Networking with the ITU-T G.707 and G.709 standards.
Most households in Western Europe and the US now have some form of Broadband Service for connection to the Internet, and will employ some form of Broadband Router or Broadband Modem to provide that service. What about the technology behind it? The majority of Broadband Internet Services are provided by means of Digital Subscriber Line, and more specifically Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL).
Telephone cables have traditionally carried our analogue telephone signals and the associated signalling within the first 4Khz of available frequency response on the cable. ADSL uses more of the available bandwidth on the cable to support both an Uplink and Downlink high-speed modem. The term ADSL comes from the fact that the Uplink and Downlink modems run at different speeds, with the Downlink significantly faster than the Uplink. This is because we often request content from the Internet such as web pages and therefore we need a faster downlink connection to bring that content to us. In most cases we employ a Broadband Router or Modem to provide these services, while at the same time maintaining our traditional telephony service.
The first true High Speed ADSL standard known as ANSI T1.413-1998 Issue 2 was released in 1998 and provided for a downstream signal of up to 8Mbps and upstream signal of up to 1Mbps. The speed was dependent upon the length of copper cable on the local loop, with 10,000 - 12,000 feet being common. Further standards continued to be developed to provide these broadband services, and in 2002 the ADSL2 standard was first introduced, which increased the downstream rates to around 12Mbps. This was quickly followed in 2003 by the ADSL2+ Standards which saw a massive increase in Broadband downstream data rates to around 24Mbps.
How does ADSL2 and ADSL2+ manage to achieve these faster data rates? They use a type of modulation known as DMT or Discrete Multi Tone which is a form of FDM (Frequency Division Multiplex) where the available bandwidth is split into smaller sub channels that each have a subcarrier which used a form of Phase Shift Keyed Modulation. ADSL2 uses 256 of these sub-channels, each containing a modulated subcarrier with the upper frequency range being around 1.1Mhz. ADSL2+ effectively doubles Broadband speeds by using a wider frequency range up to an upper limit of around 2.2Mhz with 512 sub-channels. The data is fed to the sub-carriers and transmitted in parallel to provide Broadband Speeds of up to 24Mbps.
Most service providers in the developed countries are either already providing a Broadband service up to 24Mbps, or will be in the near future, and it will be a version of ADSL2+ that they are using. If you want to take advantage of these fast Internet services then you really need a Broadband Router that supports this technology. Obviously a Broadband Router manufactured before the standards were introduced will not support these faster Broadband speeds, so you may want to consider upgrading your Broadband Router if you are not using a device supplied by your Service Provider.

Convair 37 / B-36
The first intercontinental bomber, the Convair B-36 originated from a US Army Air Force specification issued on 11 April 1941 which called for an aircraft with ability to carry a maximum bombload of 72,000 lb / 32659kg and to deliver 10,000-lb / 4536kg of bombs on European targets from bases in the United States. A radius of 5000 miles / 8047 km. An unrefuelled range of 16093km was a prime requirement, with a maximum speed of 386-483 km/h and ceiling of 35000 ft / 10670m.
A number of designs were submitted and the winner was selected in November 1941 the month before the USAs entry into World War II. It was the Consolidated Model 37, which was ordered in prototype term as the XB-36, becoming the developmental YB-36 trials model, finally built by Convair, as Consolidated became known after its merger with Vultee.
The design was basically conventional by the standards of the time, but with a span of 230 ft (74.10 m) the aeroplane was exceptionally large weighing 102 tonnes (100 tons). The tyres on the prototypes main landing gear were 2.74 m (9 ft) in diameter (they also concentrated too much weight on the runways of the day, and were replaced on production aircraft by four-wheel bogie units). The original single‑wheel main undercarriages smashed up run way surfaces. The type did introduce some novel features, however, including a slightly swept wing, a fuselage whose two main pressurized compartments were connected by an 80-ft (24.4m) tunnel containing a wheeled cart, and propulsion by six pusher propellers driven by radial engines buried in the thick wings. The wings had a root thickness of 1.83m to permit in-flight access to the six pusher engines. The B‑36 used the "wet fuel tankage” pioneered by Consolidated with their B~24 liberator ‑ no fuel tanks as‑such, just big areas of the wing structure sealed and filled with fuel.There were leakage problems. The aircraft was designed originally with twin fins and rudders, but by the time the XB-36 prototype was ready to be rolled out at Fort Worth, on 8 September 1945, single vertical tail surfaces had been substituted. The aircrafts tailfin was so tall that the nosewheel had to be jacked up to lower the rear and clear the top of the doors.
B-36 Peacemaker required a crew of 11 personnel to maintain all systems and weaponry on the aircraft with 4 'relief' personnel flying along as well.
Defensive armament consisted of sixteen 20mm cannon emplacements in the nose, tail and throughout the fuselage in barbettes - though this defensive armament was not added till the B-36B models.
The prototype programme was initially slowed by World War II’s demands for current aircraft, but then placed at the highest priority in 1943 when the USA realized that strategic blows against Japan could only be struck by long-range strategic bombers.
First flown on 8 August 1946, the XB-36 had single 2.79m diameter main wheels, also a feature of the YB-36 second prototype on which they were replaced later by the four-wheeled bogies adopted for production aircraft. In this form the aircraft was designated YB-36A and also differed from the first aircraft by introducing a raised cockpit roof. On 23 July 1943 100 aircraft were ordered but it was more than four years before the first of the 22 unarmed crew-trainer B-36A models took off on its maiden flight, on 28 August 1947.
The Convair B-36 Peacemaker entered service with the United States Air Force’s 7th Bombardment Wing (Heavy) on 2 June 1948.
From 1950 the over-target height and speed were boosted by adding four 2360-kg (5200-lb) thrust J47 jet engines in under- slung pods to boost performance; with the six piston engines also uprated to 3800 hp each. Missions could last up to 50 hours without using the inflight-refuelling capability. Complete wings were based in the UK, Morocco, Guam and other areas, as well as in the USA until February 1959. No missions were flown 'in anger'. There were high maintenance costs. Every flight ‑ up to 40 hours aloft ‑ cost thousands of man‑hours on the ground. For instance, every flight began with a new set of sparkplugs in the engines: 336 of them in 168 cylinder‑heads on six engines.
In its final production version the B-36 had a combat overload weight of 208 tonnes (205 tons), more than double that of the prototype, and a maximum flight duration of 42 hours. An arsenal of 16 guns was carried, and crews numbered between 13 and 22 men, depending on the model and type of mission, some of which involved high-altitude over-flights of the Soviet Union.
The last B-36J was delivered in September 1953 and the ultimate operational B-36 was retired in August 1959. The GRB-36 operated as an airborne aircraft carrier. When the Convair B-36 Peacemaker bomber went into service with the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command, plans were laid for two hook-on projects. The first of these was a fighter called the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin, which was 4.57 m (15 ft) long. The Goblin was to have been carried in the B-36's bomb-bay ready for launching in the event of fighter attack. Having won the ensuing dogfight it would then rejoin the mother ship for it did not give it any landing gear of its own.
Convair B-36J Peacemaker
The second attempt to use the B-36 as an aircraft-carrier took place in 1955 and 1956. Seeking a reconnaissance aircraft with sufficient range to reach the Soviet Union, the USAF came up with FICON, which stood for Fighter In CONvair. By hitching a Republic RF-84 Thunderflash to a B-36, the photo-reconnaissance jet's range could be extended from 3220 km (2000 miles) to 19,310 km (12,000 miles). Some thought was also given to a nuclear-bomb equipped Thunderstreak substituting for the Thunderflash. Twenty-five RF-84Fs were modified for parasite duty. On a typical mission the mother ship B-36 would depart from Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Washington to be joined in the air by an RF-84K (as the parasite Thunderflashes were designated) from Moses Lake Air Force Base. The fighter would be hoisted into the B-36's bomb bay.
In April 1945 the USAF’s predecessor, the USAAF, had issued its specification for a B-35/B-36 replacement with turbine propulsion, and the USAF pushed this programme with considerable vigour. The failing submission to the 1945 requirement was the Convair YB-36G, which was redesignated YB-60 before two prototypes were ordered in March 1951,
Two Convair X-6s were ordered to evaluate the operational practicality of airborne nuclear propulsion systems prior to committing to building a prototype of a dedicated military design. The specific areas to be tested included crew shielding, propulsion, radiobiology, and the effects of radiation on various aircraft systems.
In addition to the X-6s, a single NB-36H was ordered to serve as an early flyable testbed. In the NB-36H, the nuclear reactor was functioning but provided no power to the aircraft itself. The X-6s would have been powered by a prototype airborne nuclear propulsion system installed in the aft bomb bays.
In the end, the X-6 program was cancelled before either of the two aircraft were built. The NB-36H was completed, however, making its first flight in September 1955. After conducting tests for approximately two years, the nuclear reactor was removed and the NB-36H was scrapped at Carswell AFB, Texas.
The B‑36 was used as an extreme‑range spy plane (the version carried a photographic work shop instead of the usual bombload).
Production of the B-36 continued for almost seven years, the last of 385 examples being delivered to Strategic Air Command on 14 August 1954, and the type was retired finally on 12 February 1959.

The Silverline SOC keeps talking about "tuning" my Web Application Firewall (WAF) Policies?
- What does "tuning" a WAF Policy mean?
- When do we want to tune a policy, what does the SOC do vs. what am I expected to do?
- Silverline WAF
What is "Tuning" a WAF Policy?
“Tuning” is the process of monitoring and adjusting WAF policies so that they are blocking malicious traffic without generating a lot of false positives.
When a new WAF policy is created, the default mode for all the blocking modules is Transparent mode, also known as Learning mode. In Transparent mode, the Silverline Portal logs every policy violation, while the WAF policy allows all the traffic to traverse the proxy unblocked. The customer and the SOC review the violations and determine if the number of false positives is low enough to move the policy into a particular phase of blocking. If not, the policy requires further observation and adjustments in Transparent mode.
Once the policy is moved into Blocking mode, any traffic that causes a policy violation is blocked as well as logged. Customers can request the movement of a policy back to Transparent mode from Blocking, though this is not typical.
For more information on the Tuning process, review:
- WAF Setup: Onboarding and Implementation Plan
- WAF Setup: Blocking Phases
- How to Create WAF Violation Assessments
When we want to tune a policy, what does the SOC do and what am I expected to do?
At Silverline, the WAF Policy tuning process is a partnership between the SOC and the customer (you).
- The SOC provides their expertise, recommendations, and assistance.
- The customer ultimately decide what is allowed or not allowed into their network environment.
- If you can afford to block some legitimate traffic, you can move modules very aggressively through the blocking phases.
- If you want to observe traffic in Transparent mode for a few weeks or even months, we can do that.

7 Way Trailer Wiring Diagram Color – Folks comprehend that trailer is a car comprised of rather complicated mechanics. This vehicle is designed not just to travel 1 location to another but also to take heavy loads. This report will be discussing 7 way trailer wiring diagram color. What are the advantages of knowing such understanding? You’ll be surprised to learn it.
To begin with, knowing the diagram of cables for trailer will be useful during troubleshooting. When issues occur with the trailer, driver might wish to learn where the problem spot is located. It will help immediately in fixing errors. Secondly, understanding the diagram of wires for trailer is wonderful for people who want to test constructing for themselves.
Learning Trailer Wiring Diagram Better
Normally, there are three kinds of diagrams people can look at when aiming to assemble cables for trailers. Each cable includes distinct function and layout so it is essential for driver to match the needs before deciding on one.
- 7-Pin Connector
This 7 Way Trailer Wiring Diagram Color version is much more appropriate for sophisticated trailers and RVs. It may transfer power better hence the connector is suggested for higher-level electric in the auto. Here is the diagram for 7-pin connector.
- White Pin to your floor.
- Brown Pin for side markers, tail lights, and running lights.
- Yellow Pin for abandoned brake light and left turn mark.
- Green Pin Yellow Pin for right brake light and turn mark.
- Blue Pin for electric brakes.
- Red 12 volt auxiliary power.
- Purple for copy lighting.
- 5-Pin Connector
This 5-pin trailer wiring diagram is wonderful for trailer which has large capacity. But, it doesn’t have as sophisticated and electric intensive characteristics that RV and other expensive trailers may have. Below is the configuration to get 5-pin connector for superior comprehension.
- White wires for ground power.
- Brown cables for conducting lights, tail lamps, and side markers.
- Yellow wires for abandoned brake signal and left turn too.
- Green cables for right brake signal and right turn too.
- Blue cables for electrical brakes so the car can function better.
- 4-Pin Connector
There is a very basic 7 Way Trailer Wiring Diagram Color. It is the 4-pin connector. This sort of connector is ideal for consumer trailers. It ought not be carrying significant loads during the journey. In addition to being light, it’s advised that the connector does not have some power-draining accessory. The simple diagram for the connector is very like above types.
- White cables for any power that happens on the lighting.
- Brown wires for virtually any running lights, back lights, and peripheral markers.
- Yellow cables for any left brake sign and left signal turn.
- Green cables for any proper brake sign and right signal twist.
Driver must note several things linked to the diagram, however. Such things will protect against driver from encountering any electric problem during usage. It’s strongly recommended that the white cable must connect the floor to some wire at the top. Although this sounds tedious, it will conserve consumer from hassles in the future.
There’s another thing related to diagram however is particularly about routing. A way to wrap it round the trailer can be very interesting. It is because the wire will be able to distribute electricity to other trailer’s parts in equal manner. Wires should be protected by material that’s powerful and durable but doesn’t hinder its working.
Hopefully this article associated with 7 Way Trailer Wiring Diagram Color is assisting driver to designing their own trailer cables better. If not it is still a wonderful knowledge to get for when problems happen to your beloved car.

History Gems: New Podcast by Author Nicola Tallis Unravels Secrets Behind Famous Jewels and Jewellery
Posted on: 01/12/2020 with tags Trade Releases
A new podcast delving into the history of jewellery by Tudor historian and critically acclaimed author Nicola Tallis is to launch this week.
History Gems is a weekly podcast focusing on different gems and the stories behind them, with Nicola chatting to guest authors, broadcasters and academics every week including: Tracy Borman, Kate Williams, Rebecca Rideal, Gareth Russell, Sarah Gristwood, Julian Humphrys, Susan Ronald, Ellie Woodacre, Michael Jones and Chris Naunton.
Discussing intriguing stories such as a daring attempt to steal the Crown Jewels, the secrets behind a supposedly cursed diamond, and exploring the creation of the world’s most famous Easter eggs, this is a fascinating podcast for both history and jewellery lovers alike.
Dr Nicola Tallis is the author of three books: Crown of Blood: The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey, Elizabeth’s Rival: The Tumultuous Tale of Lettice Knollys, Countess of Leicester and the latest Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch.
Nicola Tallis said:
Jewels and history are both my passion, so I’m delighted to be able to combine the two in my brand-new podcast History Gems. My PhD thesis was on the subject of the jewellery collections of the Queens of England from 1445-1548, and it was this that inspired me to begin this new project. Jewels often have their own fascinating tales to tell, so in each episode I’ll be joined by an expert in order to bring these intriguing stories to you.
Podcasting is a completely new experience for me, so I’m really excited to bring these discussions to the wider world, which I hope will bring another slice of history to life for listeners.

In this year of celebrating the centenary of the great October Revolution in Russia, it is often forgotten that anarchists and rank-and-file Bolsheviks attempted a social revolution in July 1917 - but that the Bolshevik leadership was unprepared and so it disrupted the attempt. By doing so, the red elite was clearly signaling its willingness to risk losing the impetus of revolution entirely and so permanently surrendering the initiative to the reactionaries purely because they felt they weren't sufficiently in charge of events - a telling character flaw that would become devastatingly dominant in the subsequent Bolshevik dictatorship.
Things began to heat up in June 1917, as anarchist participants in the events Senya Fleshin and Molly Steimer later wrote: “As is known, the government of [the Social Revolutionary Alexander] Kerensky was moving quicker and quicker to the right, into the arms of the bourgeoisie and reaction. The workers responded with a protest demonstration, aimed against both the war which keeps dragging on, and against the generally treacherous policy of the right SRs. Anarchists take an active part in all of these protests; their black flags fly in the foreground. Armed, with their ranks closed, singing the anarchist anthem, they march in the streets of Petrograd."
The Bolshevik leaders warned the garrisons against taking to the streets, and yet on 3 July 1917 there was finally a rising in Petrograd, centred on revolutionary workers, soldiers and Kronstadt sailors. The immediate cause of the rising was the government’s unpopular call for a new offensive in World War I, and the fears of the anarchist-dominated 1st Machine-gun Regiment that it would be sent to the northern front as a means of containing their revolutionary zeal. The Bolsheviks vacillated on the question, provoking a split between the party leadership and what historian Marc Ferro calls “the vanguard, where Bolsheviks co-operated with anarchists, and in July there was conflict”. Many Bolshevik leaders like Vladimir Lenin were in the countryside when the revolt broke out. Among the most notable of the agitators was the Belorussian anarchist-communist tinsmith Iosif Solomonovich Bleikhman (1868-1921). Converted to anarchism while in the United States in 1904, he was jailed by the Tsarist regime on his return to Russia, only being liberated along with many political prisoners during the bourgeois February 1917 Revolution which toppled the Tsar and installed Kerensky. Bleikhman became a leading light in the Petrograd Anarchist Communist Federation (PACF), which was founded in April 1917, and a writer for its paper Burevestnik (Stormy Petrel) and for Kommuna (Commune), paper of the Petrograd Anarchist Federation (PAF), which had been founded in 1906, surviving in clandestinity for a decade.
The Bolshevik leader Lev Trotsky condescendingly describes Bleikhman – calling him Bleichman – but is unable to avoid the fact that Bleikhman’s fiery oratory matched the aspirations of the revolutionary soldiers in particular: "… the anarchist Bleichman, a small but colourful figure on the background of 1917, with a very modest equipment of ideas but a certain feeling for the masses – sincere in his limited and ever inflammable intelligence – his shirt open at the breast and curly hair flying out at all sides. Bleichman was greeted at such meetings with a certain amount of semi-ironical sympathy. The workers, it is true, treated him somewhat coolly, but the soldiers smiled delightedly at his speeches, nudging each other with their elbows and egging the orator on with pithy comments. They plainly liked his eccentric looks, his unreasoning decisiveness, and his Jewish-American accent sharp as vinegar. By the end of June, Bleichman was swimming in all these impromptu meetings like a fish in a river. His opinion he had always with him: It is necessary to come out with arms in our hands. Organisation? ‘The street will organise us.’ The task? ‘To overthrow the Provisional Government just as it overthrew the czar although no party was then demanding it.’ These speeches perfectly met the feelings of the machine-gunners – and not theirs alone. Many of the Bolsheviks did not conceal their satisfaction when the lower ranks pushed forward against their official admonition."
In other words, the rank-and-file Bolsheviks, like the soldiers, were more in tune with anarchist-communism than with Bolshevism. Of course, Bleikhman, as a PACF militant, believed firmly in organisation, but was indicating that the revolution was not the preserve of specific organisations, but rather of the popular classes as a whole – an idea that was anathema to the Bolsheviks who had made a fetish of the dominant role of the hierarchical vanguard party. Bleikhman addressed a large gathering of soldiers (including the machine-gunners), sailors and workers, saying, according to Ferro, "We want to overthrow the government, not to hand power to the bourgeois soviet, but to take it ourselves."
Ferro said the slogans that won the day, however, continued to back the soviets. He quotes an unpublished Petrograd archive document that “displays the grassroots unity of anarchists and Bolsheviks” who set up a joint Provisional Revolutionary Committee (VRK) on the eve of the revolt: "One witness said that Bleikhman was spoiling for a fight, being in an excited condition, and telling the soldiers that they could count on the workers and sailors, for they would join in if there were a rising. The soldiers who were there said, ‘Yes, go ahead, we’re ready for it.’ The machine-gunners were nervous, for they had to strike the first blow…"
However, it failed to detain Kerensky and the demonstration petered out as participants started to return home, confused by the in-fighting in Bolshevik ranks. Some regiments were against pressing the advantage, although the Kronstadt sailors still had their blood up, so the following morning, Bleikhman again led an armed column on the Tauride Palace where both the Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government’s Duma were headquartered, this time joined by the famous Left SR Maria Spiridonova. At the Tauride, as Ferro notes, demands were put forward for the release of an anarchist sailor arrested at the PAF headquarters Villa Durnovo, and for the Soviet to take power from the government. Trotsky was heckled by sailors angry at his support for the dithering Soviet. Fighting broke out between insurrectionaries and loyalist troops. But three regiments brought in from the front to defend the Soviet (and ironically, by doing so, the government) finally routed the rebels.
The “July Days” were followed by state repression and the arrest of anarchists and Bolsheviks. Ferro inaccurately claims that the anarchists disappeared “as a motive force” after the revolt was defeated, but in the aftermath, many Bolsheviks as well as anarchists were forced into hiding or even exile (Lenin himself was battling against the smear that he was a German spy). The right-wing Kadets and the industrialists gained in confidence. Ferro quotes the anarchist historian of the revolution, Voline, describing the white reaction: "In the name of the [bourgeois February] Revolution, the secret police has come to life again, the individual’s liberties have been suppressed, and the old atrocities of the police chiefs will be started again… in the name of the Revolution, the gates have been opened to the most hideous counter-revolution."
Fleshin and Steimer recalled the insurrection so: “Then came the famous July Days. Of course, Bolsheviks now omit to mention that anarchists were at the time fighting, taking soldiers out [into protests] and made speeches against Kerensky’s gangs alongside them, and then paid for that with prison terms. And only anarchists, of all the revolutionary organisations. The July defeat drove anarchists and Bolsheviks underground. [The PAF newspaper] Commune is published clandestinely. But Voline still delivers his lectures on the Vyborg side [Petrograd's factory district] with huge attendance by workers; it is still possible to hold rallies.”
Archibald writes: “The government began hunting down the Bolsheviks and anarchists. Some of the Bolsheviks, including Marusya's friend [the Bolshevik] Alexandra Kollontai, ended up in prison while others escaped to nearby Finland. Bleikhman was given sanctuary by the Kronstadt sailors who protected him from arrest. Marusya decided it was a good time to return to Ukraine and help revive the anarchist movement there. In July 1917 she arrived back in Aleksandrovsk [Oleksandrivsk, Ukraine], after an eight-year odyssey which had taken her around the world.” She would go on to command a Black Guard detachment that liberated four Ukrainian cities and installed left-wing revolutionary soviets, helping create the space in which the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine (RPAU) would rise and initiate the anarchist-inspired Ukrainian Revolution.
The July Days events merely hardened the resolve of many to overthrow the Provisional Government, and underlined the growing gulf between the Provisional Government and large sectors of the popular classes, and the deepening polarisation inherent in dual power between the soviets and the government. Subsequent moves by General Lavr Kornilov, supreme commander of the armed forces from July, to seize power and create a dictatorship created further distrust and spurred the growth of the Red Guards, Black Guards and military soviets. When the social revolution finally succeeded in October 1917, anarchists again played key roles.
Despite their near-fatal vacillation during the July Days, the Bolshevik leadership was now confident that the Provisional Government could be overthrown, a view shared by many anarchists. A series of meetings in the Bolshevik Party saw Lenin win support for the idea of an insurrection, which was subsequently endorsed by the Petrograd Soviet. The uprising was organised through the Military Revolutionary Committee of the Petrograd Soviet, headed by Trotsky, and made up of forty-eight Bolsheviks, fourteen Left SRs, and four anarchists: Vladimir “Bill” Shatov, Anatoli Zhelezniakov, Efim Yartchuk and Henri Bogatski.
On the night of the 25th of October, the Military Revolutionary Committee and its allies made their move. Petrograd and its Winter Palace were famously taken after brief fighting – the anarchist Anatolyi Zhelezniakov leading a contingent of sailors in the assault – and while the rising in Moscow was bloodier, it too was as successful. Fleshin and Steimer recalled: “But then comes October. Again, anarchists are alongside the Communists, everywhere, in the [Winter] Palace Square, at the storming of the Pavel Military School. Anarchist Anatoli Zhelezniakov is one of the chief dispersers of Chernov’s talk shop [the Constituent Assembly], anarchists are at Tsarskoye Selo [a suburb south of the city, now called Pushkin], where Kerensky is finally repulsed [during the Kerensky-Krasnov uprising]. Anarchist [Iustin] Zhuk – a political convict who served his hard labour sentence in Shlisselburg – leads a Shlisselburg workers’ detachment to guard the Smolny [Soviet headquarters] and then to Tsarskoye Selo to meet Kerensky."
The day after the storming of the Wnter Palace, Lenin was able to announce to the Second Congress of Soviets, then meeting in Petrograd, with Zhelezniakov as a Kronstadt Soviet delegate, that the Provisional Government had fallen and that the soviets were now in power. Several attempts to overthrow the Petrograd Soviet, and restore the Provisional Government were swiftly defeated by Red Guards and Black Guards. The anarchist-dominated Dvinsk Regiment, for example, decisively defeated an attempt at counter-revolution by the Kadets. It was a moment of incredible hope, when all the future seemed open. The soviets and factory committees were in charge, the Red Guards and Black Guards patrolled the streets, “workers’ control” and even self-management seemed the model of the future, and the old Russia, with its autocracy and repression and hunger seemed dead at last, blasted away by the blaze of revolution.
Writing the best eye-witness account of the Russian Revolution, the book Ten Days that Shook the World, US communist John Reed, who was close to the revolutionary syndicalist Industrial Workers of the World, riding to Petrograd in a truck loaded with Red Guards and driven by a grizzled worker, recalled dawn breaking that fateful day: "The road was crowded with the proletarian army going home, and new reserves were pouring out to take their places … Across the horizon spread the glittering lights of the capital, immeasurably more splendid by night than by day, like a dike of jewels on the barren plain. The old workman who drove held the wheel in one hand, while with the other he swept the far-gleaming capital in an exultant gesture. ‘Mine!’ he cried, his face all alight. ‘All mine now! My Petrograd!’"
