Falcons vs. Bills: Full Roster Report Card Grades for Atlanta
The win didn't come easily for the Falcons, who trailed for a lot of the game and gave up 195 yards on the ground and allowed six quarterback sacks.
Despite that, the Falcons showed some grit and forced some late mistakes out of the Bills to help secure Atlanta's first road victory of the season.
Let's break down how the Falcons got the job done this week by dishing out our Week 13 position-by-position report card grades from Atlanta's win over Buffalo.
All game stats are via espn.com.
Matt Ryan threw for more than 300 yards for the first time in more than a month and gave the offense some juice by throwing the ball downfield. He did a nice job of keeping his composure in the face of pressure from an aggressive Bills defensive front.
Falcons fans were probably very pleased to see Ryan and wide receiver Roddy White finally get into a rhythm together, as Ryan connected with White 10 times on 14 targets.
Ryan also gained 17 yards on two quarterback scrambles.
Ryan looked to have another touchdown pass on a long pass to running back Antone Smith that Smith probably should have caught, but Ryan's own miscues (a fumbled snap that led to a touchdown and a play where Ryan tripped and fell in the red zone after receiving the ball from center) kept him from earning an "A" here.
Atlanta running backs combined for 134 yards on 27 carries. Thanks to some improved blocking up front, Steven Jackson was able to get to the second level and create some explosive plays on the ground like he did on his 27-yard touchdown run.
In addition, Antone Smith turned on the jets on a routine sweep play and continued to show why he deserves more touches in the run game. Does Smith's speed make him a better option as a change-of-pace back than Jacquizz Rodgers or Jason Snelling?
Fullback Patrick DiMarco also deserves some recognition for getting a nice block on Jackson's long touchdown run in the first quarter. DiMarco seems to have become more physical at the point of attack in recent weeks.
Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
Roddy White gave Falcons fans a reason to smile on Sunday because he appeared to return to the top-level form we've seen from him in the past six seasons by hauling in 10 receptions for 143 yards.
White, who told ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure that he still hasn't fully healed from his preseason ankle injury, gave Atlanta's passing game the downfield playmaker it has been missing since Julio Jones went down. White isn't the home run threat that Jones is, but he's more effective at picking up chunks of yardage on deeper routes than Harry Douglas.
Speaking of Douglas, he had a decent outing, but his late fourth-quarter personal foul penalty nearly cost the Falcons a chance to tie the game. Douglas was able to draw a pass interference penalty on the next play, but Atlanta may not be so fortunate next time.
Tony Gonzalez was able to bring in a contested pass in the red zone for his fifth touchdown of the year, while rookie tight end Levine Toilolo had a 12-yard catch that netted a first down.
Atlanta's offensive line may have had its best game of the year in terms of run blocking, but it continued to have some issues in pass protection, as evidenced by the Bills' six sacks.
Lamar Holmes, Justin Blalock and Ryan Schraeder all had strong blocks on Steven Jackson's 27-yard touchdown run.
Schraeder, who played as an extra tackle in Atlanta's 4-2 unbalanced formation and at right tackle in place of Jeremy Trueblood, added some much-needed toughness up front and made a case for why he should get a longer look over these next four weeks.
As much as I've criticized Peter Konz this season, I feel the need to give him some credit for a pancake block he had on Bills defensive tackle Marcel Dareus in the first half. With that said, a lot of the pressure that Atlanta faced in the passing game came from the interior.
Unless Konz shows more improvement at right guard over the last four games, he could head into 2014 as a backup to a re-signed Joe Hawley at center and a new Falcons starter at right guard.
Holmes and Blalock appeared to have a communication issue on one of Buffalo's six sacks because the Buffalo defender was untouched off of the left side.
Atlanta's defensive line left a lot to be desired on Sunday. The pass rush never showed up, and there was very little penetration in the run game, as Bills running backs C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson easily made their way to second level on the way to pacing Buffalo to 195 rushing yards.
Jonathan Babineaux, Peria Jerry, Corey Peters and Osi Umenyiora were all very average, and none of the Falcons' young defensive ends did much to get excited about.
There just isn't a true playmaker amongst this group on the Atlanta defensive front, and the entire defensive unit suffers because of it.
The defensive line would have probably taken a majority of the blame if Atlanta had lost this game, so they don't escape a poor grade here even though the Falcons were able to escape Toronto with a win.
The Falcons' linebackers were forced to do a lot of catching because Buffalo running backs were in their laps at the snap of the ball too many times on Sunday.
Paul Worrilow led the team in tackles again and maintained his position as the team's leading tackler of the season.
Sean Weatherspoon continued to get his feet under him in his third game back from the foot injury that cost him most of the season, but he was far from the game-changer that many Falcons fans had hoped he'd be. Worrilow may be the best linebacker the Falcons have right now.
Joplo Bartu and Akeem Dent had quiet afternoons.
Desmond Trufant displayed tremendous hustle when he caught speedy Bills' back C.J. Spiller from behind on a 77-yard run in the first quarter.
That's the kind of play that the coaching staff will make note of moving forward because at this point in the season they're looking at which guys have packed it in and which guys have continued to play hard. Trufant can count himself amongst the latter group because of that play and what he did in pass coverage on Sunday.
Speaking of Spiller's long run, safety Thomas DeCoud could've prevented a lot of that yardage if he had made an open-field tackle shortly after Spiller cut back and broke free on the carry.
William Moore and Robert McClain can take a lot of credit for this victory because of the role they played in two timely Bills turnovers late in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Matt Bryant connected on both of his field-goal attempts, including his 36-yard game-winning kick. It was nice to see him rebound after missing a 52-yard kick in the fourth quarter against the Saints in Week 12.
Falcons punter Matt Bosher also had a strong outing by helping Atlanta win the field position battle with his 39.7 yards per punt average.
The kick return unit's reverse handoff to Antone Smith on the opening kick of the game was very effective, but Atlanta's offense couldn't take advantage of the good field position.
Hats off to Atlanta's coverage units for keeping Bills' return man Marquise Goodwin in check.
Mike Smith's team looked flat and fell behind 14-0 after starting the game with a nice kickoff return. Smith deserves some credit for rallying his troops at that point and staying committed to the run game that eventually helped send the game into the half with a 17-17 tie.
The game played out a lot like the kind of victories we saw this team have over inferior opponents in 2012.
Atlanta gave up a few too many big plays that kept things close in a game that Atlanta probably could've won by double-digits. Since things were close, the Falcons needed the ball to bounce their way at the end of the game in order to come out on top.
Nevertheless, a win is a win in this league, and Atlanta will take what it can get after its five-game losing streak.
Some Falcons fans may be concerned about the team losing draft position by winning this game, but the NFL is a tribe of competitors, and you really can't expect Mike Smith to do anything short of trying to win games the rest of the way out.

International Governments and Movements Show Solidarity with Venezuela’s Chavez Ahead of Elections
by Rachael Boothroyd
September 27 2012 Presidents, politicians and various solidarity groups have sent public messages of support for current Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian revolution ahead of next Sunday's presidential election.
Many of the statements praised the Bolivarian revolution for having given renewed importance to the debate on the relevance of socialism today and for providing an example of an alternative kind of political system for the world.
“We study the policies of the Bolivarian government in order to write our programme,” said François Delapierre, National Secretary of Luc Melenchon's “Left Party” in France, who stated he believed that the Venezuelan revolution was a “source of inspiration for the global left”.
Delapierre's colleague, Corinne Morel Darleux also went on to state that crisis-stricken Europe should follow the example set by Venezuela, which had presented a “new option” to the world.
“In Europe, we want to take the path of Venezuela, so resources are managed as a public good to generate social progress, so that there is a real redistribution (of wealth) and that the needs of the population are met,” she said. Both Delapierre and Darleux recently traveled to Caracas to attend the forum “Neo-liberalism of the Old World vs. Socialism of the New World” and were interviewed by state news channel AVN.
Both Argentinian President, Cristina Kirchner, and Uruguayan President, Pepe Mujica, also added their voices to the international comments in support of the Venezuelan president earlier this week.
While Mujica said that he believed Venezuela's future would be “complicated” if Chavez didn't win, Kirchner strongly rejected criticism of Chavez's commitment to democracy.
When asked at a conference in Georgetown, USA, whether Chavez would respect the results of the October elections, Kirchner replied that there was “no precedent” to doubt the incumbent president.
“There can't be any other Latin American president who has won so many elections,” said Kirchner. “I debate a lot with Hugo (Chavez), but I don't think it's possible to debate the democratic credibility of the president,” she added.
As the election draws nearer, various solidarity groups are organising rallies and events aimed at drawing attention to the Venezuelan elections and supporting the revolutionary process against possible intervention from abroad. Events were held this week in Houston, USA and Toronto, Canada.
One of the largest events was staged by the UK's Venezuela Solidarity Campaign (VSC) in London, which was attended by over 300 activists.
“It was a very positive atmosphere, with people acknowledging that Venezuela shows a way forward in contrast to what is happening in Europe,” VSC activist Lee Brown told Venezuelanalysis.com.
Many British academics and activists spoke at the rally, including author Richard Gott and anti-war activist Kate Hudson, who described Venezuela as a “beacon of peace and social progress in the world”.
Meanwhile, almost 10 million people from over 100 countries have signed a statement drawn up by the Cuban branch of the Defence of Humanity Network in support of Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian revolution ahead of the elections.
The Irish Venezuela Network also released a statement calling for support of the Venezuelan electoral process and rejecting any foreign intervention in Venezuela’s affairs. It was supported by Irish politicians, trade unionists and cultural figures.
Various solidarity brigades from across the globe, including from Australia, Germany and Great Britain, are arriving to Caracas this week in order to observe the national elections. Many are eager to celebrate a Chavez victory.

Today I reached a point where it was down to thinking up the final humdinger of a paragraph for my forthcoming book ‘Shining Land’. It’s nearly there.
The great thing about this book, my eleventh, is that I’ve given a lot of time and consideration to every thought and proposition while lodged in the cosmological cocoon of my bed, looking out over the fields and woods at the jackdaws, swallows and buzzards.
With plenty of timespace to think. The book is all about time, space and consciousness. It’s going to annoy the hell out of some sceptics and rationalists, not least during this triumphal period of all-embracing Science.
Now I must review the whole 100,000 word manuscript again, submit it to two ‘expert readers’ to check through the ideas, compile the online appendices, enter the illustrations and maps into the manuscript, and it’s done. Phew. The book will come out, regardless, in digital format: the main issue is whether it comes out in print (the costliest and most complex option).
Then it’s two months of sitting around, kinda fallow, thumb twiddling, wondering what to do with myself. The creative vacuum creeps up afterwards. It does give time and space for things I ignored before, and for dwelling on nothing in particular.
Writing books is a self-imposed lockdown – most of the time an anti-social activity but now transcovidated into responsible self-isolation and social distancing. I’m doing the same thing as before but not, this time, anti-socially. Apparently. These twists of judgement are always strange for Aspies to get our heads around.
I’ve been on lockdown since mid-November, when diagnosed with myeloma. Approaching six months. So there was little change when Covid slunk in like a voracious Neptunian mist, taking over everyone’s lives and tenuous sense of reality. I just carried on – out of my head on chemotherapy and steroids.
It gets a bit boring, this lockdown, even though I have stuff I can get on with, in my slowly ponderous six-hours-per-day, wiped out, struggling way, stumbling around like a 96 year old. I’ve been on my own quite a lot throughout life and get a bit fed up of myself, my own cooking, my repetitive, stuck Virgo patterns and ossified daily methodologies. Why people want to prolong their lives and achieve immortality beats me. But then, ‘You were a strange little child’, my mother once said, and ‘You’re not like the child I brought up’.
Tomorrow, I am appearing on an Indian social psychologists’ online conference on the overall social effects of Covid, giving them a prescribed ten minutes on the psychodynamics of accelerated social-cultural change. Me, a global health expert, hobnobbing with people bearing doctorates…
This is one of the unexpected outcomes of having cancer. Lots of things have changed. Here’s one. People who want to hear me are now predominantly in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, not Europe and America. Growing for years, suddenly it shifted critically, recently. My last book Possibilities 2050 I wrote with them in mind. I made it available for free, so that expense and availability would not be barriers. They can read it on their mobiles, and it uses little bandwidth. Now I’m hearing from really interesting folk in Gambia, Malawi, Uganda, and Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Bangladesh, Tuvalu and Cuba. Magic.
What I like most about this is that, if I’m delivering something people really find useful, it draws something out of me. I’m quite accustomed to being part of something that ought to be much bigger than it is, but it’s good having people gladly soaking up this stuff – and making it their own, doing it their way. Fuck the royalties and getting famous – I just want to get on with what I’m here for before I no longer am here.
These people are not emulating the West; they’re overtaking us. They’re the world’s future and the majority are under 30. Many ideas coming from the back-alleys and the underground in the West have become useful to them. They’ve seen the impositional side of us but there are fertile outpourings from the unofficial culture in the West that are invaluable too. Permaculture being one. Talking stick. Herbalism. Astrology. Holism. Homoeopathy. Anything interesting, stimulating and new.
We Westerners need to listen up. Our majority culture has become sclerotic, stuck in a groove, constrained by its vested interests and comfortaable habits. Yet it has much of value. Especially a lot of the things we haven’t given enough attention to. We were too busy making money, or trying to.
We still want to be the leaders, the teachers. The mission to civilise is still alive and well, as is the hypocrisy. No, we’re the minority and being outclassed. Declining without appropriate grace. But most of us are goodguys and mean well – that’s our asset.
It’s time for us to rejoin the human race. Exceptionalism no longer works. Wanting to be the leaders blocks the flow. Lecturing obstructs hearing.
Yet, as a cancer experiencer, I’m so fortunate to be undergoing treatment here in UK. I have access to the best of conventional and holistic medicine, healers and advisers, people praying and reiki-ing me too, and I’m grateful for that.
I’ve offered myself for research and observation, having had some of the best results seen for years. But no, no interest. Oh well, it saves me being poked, prodded and sent to London!
The Management has recently been doing a little fixing. Normal service is unlikely to be resumed. Apologies for the disruption. Please recycle all used containers and clear up your litter after you.
God bless everyone. Palden.

|Crafted at||Large Printer|
|Recipe||2x Titanium Alloy|
|Unlock Cost||5,000 Bytes|
A Large Shuttle base has two Tier-3 slots and two Tier-2 slots. One Tier-2 slot is needed for either a Solid-Fuel Thruster or a Hydrazine Thruster. One Tier-2 slot is intended for an Oxygenator, however, you can place anything there.
Source[edit | edit source]
|Large Shuttle|| Titanium Alloy x2
Uses[edit | edit source]
- Similar to other vehicles, Shuttles provide unlimited Oxygen to players tethered to them. If an Oxygenator is onboard, it will provide oxygen to connected tethers. Shuttles also transport players between planets.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Should you find yourself marooned without any fuel, Ammonium and Laterite are found on every planet; you'll need to refine the Laterite into Aluminum in a Smelting Furnace in order to craft a Solid-Fuel Thruster.
- You can use a Packager on your Atmospheric Condenser (or just print a new one) and attach that to the large shuttle to easily collect gasses from planets.
- Shuttles in orbit that are trying to land at a base that has another shuttle on a Landing Pad will not be able to land without another, non-used Landing Pad present.
- For maximum storage, place two Large Storage Silo Bs onto the two Tier-3 slots on the shuttle, then place 12 Medium Storage Silos onto each of these large silos, then place a Medium Storage Silo in the side slot for a total of 25 Medium Storage Silos, providing 600 Tier-1 storage slots.
- Players can take and bring back more items if a Medium Storage is placed on the side slot instead of an Oxygenator, with a packaged Oxygenator and a Medium Platform A or C to leave the Oxygenator on the planet the player goes to.
Media[edit | edit source]
An old version of the Large Shuttle with a Large Storage attached. (Before 1.0 Release)

Should my relatives give money directly to my child with special needs?
No. Family members and friends should be cautioned against gifting money or property, or leaving money or property in their wills directly to your child except in ways that do not result in a loss of eligibility for public benefits or liability for the cost of your child’s care. If you desire, a special needs trust can be established during your lifetime to accept such gifts. It would be prudent to have grandparents’ wills reviewed by an attorney familiar with special needs trusts to avoid bequests that will have unintended and unwanted consequences. Further, neither you nor your relatives should establish any Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA) accounts for your child, as these accounts may disqualify your child for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid.

Hospital steps up security after national increase in emergency room violence
A study revealed that 54.5 percent of 6,504 emergency nurses have experienced physical violence and/or verbal abuse from a patient or visitor
By Kelly Ragan
GREELEY, Colo. — Dylan Hockett knows people don't come to the emergency department because they want to. It's usually a stressful time for patients and for family. Tensions run high. People are often scared and in pain.
Hockett expects all that. That's his job.
Hockett, regional director of security for Banner Health, watches for folks who aren't following directions, spout off foul language or hold an aggressive posture. It's part of his job, and his team's job, to intervene before that behavior gets violent.
In 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics data reported health care and social assistance workers were the victims of 11,370 assaults nationwide. Most of those incidents happen in the emergency department, Hockett said.
According to a 2011 study by the Emergency Nurses Association, 54.5 percent of 6,504 emergency nurses have experienced physical violence and/or verbal abuse from a patient or visitor. According to the report, incidents likely are underreported since many nurses see them as just part of the job.
Hockett said nurses tend to see the brunt of the violence because they have the most contact with patients.
North Colorado Medical Center's emergency medical services personnel even wear Kevlar vests. They protect first responders from internal injuries suffered from close contact with patients.
Troy Osborne, division chief of Banner Health Paramedic Services, said EMTs are 14 times more likely to be violently injured than the firefighters they work with because of the close contact they have with patients.
Safety problems often stem from mental health issues and addiction issues. That makes emergency rooms increasingly dangerous for hospital workers, as one in eight emergency department visits are for treatment of mental health or substance use disorders, according to the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Between 2006 and 2013, the agency found a 55.5 percent increase in emergency department visits for those issues.
"If someone feels strongly they deserve medicines like opioids and we don't give them, they can get angry," said Jill Hanck, medical director of the emergency department at NCMC.
That's why security staffs North Colorado Medical Center's emergency department at all times, Hockett said.
To combat those rising incidents, doctors, nurses and security have to work together as a team, Hockett said. When they notice inappropriate behavior, he wants them to report it right away so the situation doesn't escalate. He usually responds to calls for assistance about six times per day.
Hanck said she thinks a zero-tolerance policy helps keep down instances of violence.
"If a low level is tolerated, it can escalate," Hanck said.
When she notices people cursing, acting aggressive or pulling out their IVs, she notifies security.
So far, she hasn't experienced a physically violent assault at NCMC, she said, but she did in her residency. Someone grabbed her arm hard and jerked her around. It scared her.
Usually the presence of a security guard is enough to make people come to their senses.
Since 2008, NCMC also has had patrol dogs.
Tyler Beckle, K9 security officer at NCMC, said the two dogs are muzzled as they do patrols. Despite the muzzles, Beckle said, the dogs are usually calming because they're cute. If there ever was a need, though, they could be unmuzzled and are trained to bite.
Soon Kyra, NCMC's newest patrol dog, will be certified to search for narcotics. That will help prevent dealers, friends and family from smuggling drugs into the hospital to give to patients.
Employees also go through annual training for crisis intervention tactics and basic self-defense techniques, Hockett said.
The training covers low-level violence all the way up to dealing with weapons.
"Fortunately that is rare," Hockett said.
But they can never be too careful.

Talented Nigeria singer, Ayo Balogun, aka Wizkid, on Wednesday, said that age does not represent one’s intelligence, Oyogist.com reports.
He shared this information via a post on his Snapchat story, where he mentioned that he knew grown people who were also stupid.
“Age isn’t a representation of how smart you are. I know plenty stupid grown people too,” Wizkid posted.
Grammy award-winning also appreciated God’s blessings in this life as he revealed he doesn’t wake up with hate in his heart.
He wrote, “I don’t wake up sad. I don’t wake up poor in life, in health, and in spirit. I don’t wake up with hate in my heart. Thank Jah for blessings every day.”
Motivating his fans, he added, “Don’t waste your life with temporary situations. Live life.”

I’m so happy about my current situation, it couldn’t get any better. I am so lucky.
I am angry because I’ve wasted too much time on people who didn’t deserve it.
I’m in a bad mood tonight so ignore my angry ranty text posts
Also I’m going to post heaps of photos throughout the night
I don’t want to talk to people especially guys at all unless they’re already my friends, it seems like I can’t have one simple conversation with someone without them trying to hit on me or giving me not to subtle hints that they’re interested.
But you know informing them I’m not interested and I have a boyfriend makes me a bitch and a slut every time.

I was after an aga-saga and came here guided by Maeve Binchy's sales figures- a writer who sells that many copies must be doing something right.
And she does... It's not the plot, which is interesting enough, not the characters, who are not very memorable- the charm lies in the narration- as it so often does with Antony Trollope (though in a different way) One has the feeling that here is a very sensible writer; that one can trust her to steer you through the novel and out again at the other end.... and, as with Trollope, you have to be prepared to take your time...
The publisher's notes on Audible give very little away- really house-swapping only occupies about the last 3rd of the book- and by that time the bulk of the plot is more-or-less all over, bar the shouting- It's basically a tale of middle-class Dublin life and love.
An extra 'edge' is given to the story in that a pall of nostalgia hangs over it- it's a very nineties tale of Dublin in the boom times.
It's beautifully narrated- I went on to have a bit of a craze for Kate Binchy reading Maeve Binchy.
Useful fact- 'Tara Road' was the first book to have a print run of a million copies prior to publication.

With a new touring model joining the incredible Yamaha MT-07 line-up, learner riding has never looked so good.
Words: Paul Pics: iKapture
It was the truck which I happened to encounter at an inopportune time which let the others get ahead. Once the road became remotely straight, I slipped past the B-train effortlessly and began my pursuit of the rest of the journos, tucked down behind the screen and hanging onto gears in an effort to squeeze the last bit of performance out of the Yamaha’s 655cc parallel twin powerplant. As I watched the figures on the clear digital speedo continue to rise, quickly creeping into anti-social levels while I peeled through corners, linking them together without touching the brakes and risking scrubbing off any speed, it dawned on me that this is one hell of a learner’s bike. In fact, it’s taken the LAMS segment to a whole new level, with no other learner-approved model this fast, fun or versatile.
The original MT-07 is a stunning bike. Naked layout, simple features, great chassis and a peach of a powerplant; the MT is the bad boy bike like the RD range was back in the day. It encourages you to misbehave and puts a bloody big smile on your face when you do it. But with Yamaha’s master-stroke of developing entirely different models using the same base platform, next out was the custom-styled XSR, which took what was already an excellent bike and added a swathe of coolness. And now we’ve got the grown-up version, with the Tracer arguably the first learner-legal bike to offer trainees a motorcycle that’s capable of serious touring straight from the shop floor.
Yamaha really hit the nail on the head with their 655cc LAMS bikes. With the parallel-twin featuring their trademark cross-plane crankshaft supplying an uneven firing order, the motor not only sounds great but also supplies its power in a very unthreatening way. Don’t get me wrong – it’s punchy when you snap the throttle on coming out of a turn. But as there’s only a claimed 52hp to play with combined with 57Nm of silky smooth torque rolling in at 4,000rpm, the mid-range is where the MT-07 varieties are happiest and perform at their best. And that’s what learner riders require, with an easy to access power delivery meaning they’re not hunting through gears trying to get decent drive.
The tubular steel chassis is carried through the range with only minor alterations between models. It not only keeps things simple but also keeps weight down. As tourers go, the Tracer is a featherweight, only tipping the scales at 196kilos which again is important to those either new to riding or simply sick of heavy, unwieldly motorcycles. With the bulk of the kilos kept low and central – notice the exhaust is tucked away underneath – despite being a touring motorcycle, the Tracer is no more intimidating than the naked MT version. A low 835mm seat further compounds the Tracer’s friendly nature.
Despite being classed as entry-level, sitting aboard the Yamaha it feels anything but, with the same LED clocks that feature on the other two models looking sharp and supplying you with everything you need to know at a glance. I love the fact the gear indicator is front and centre, and as the revs climb across the bottom of the screen it gives you an easy reference of where you’re sitting in the power, which again is great for newbies.
The riding position is all-day comfortable, with a solid few hours sampling the delights of the famous Putty Road, just out of Sydney, followed by the usual slog through traffic as we got closer to town. Looking at the other riders in the group, I only noticed one stretching his legs, and as he’s a seasoned racer it was probably more to do with old “war wounds” than anything the bike was doing that caused the stiffness. From the nicely positioned high bars to the seat/peg relationship, the Tracer just feels right, and riding it is seriously easy.
Obviously as it’s classed as a tourer, you need somewhere to put a change of undies and the Tracer comes already fitted with a set of semi-soft luggage. It’s more of an overnight capacity than touring round the world type deal, but they look good, don’t protrude too far so lane splitting isn’t inhibited, and can be removed so you can take your gear into your hotel, motel or tent… A few more litres added to the fuel tank gives the Tracer a decent range between drinks, with 17litres on board (three litres up on the MT’s) likely to get you well over 250kays before you need to start thinking of servos. With a day of heavy-handed riding on the launch, the digital display on my test bike was showing 6.4litres per hundred kilometres, and even managed 57km on reserve before we finally made it to a fuel stop.
Best just got better
Bike journos, identical bikes, twisty roads and Aus/NZ rivalry is guaranteed to produce one result, and the Tracers weren’t relinquished from their throttle stops for quite some time as we worked our way further from our overnight stay within the vineyards of the Hunter Valley and carved our way through the rock-lined route. This was the closest I’d come in Australia to the great NZ biking roads that we take for granted, with smooth tarmac weaving its way through national parks for roughly 170km between the centres of Windsor and Singleton. You’d think we would all have been wishing for more powerful machines, but the Tracer with its linear power delivery, simple yet compliant suspension and light but agile road manners, made this one of the most enjoyable rides I’ve had. And we all conceded that it wouldn’t have been much quicker on machines with double the horsepower.
If you’re going touring and want to click off the kays, put the screen up and enjoy the ride. The suspension is designed to meet a budget and bigger holes or compressions in the road can give you a jolt and a want for a bit more rebound damping. But in most cases, it simply gets on with the job in hand in a predictable fashion. The twin four piston brake calipers gripping 282mm discs aren’t the most exotic or powerful, but they do the job and do it well with plenty of feel – again the perfect choice for new or returning riders. I can testify that they work well when squeezed in anger, with a Toyota Corolla driver deciding that the group of bikes going past was all she needed to concentrate on before hitting the throttle and pulling out in front of the remaining rider – me – who was 50metres behind. With my fingers and foot jumping into action while I simultaneously yelled at her from behind my dark visor – I don’t know why I didn’t use the horn instead! – the Tracer dived on its nose and brought me to a controlled stop, with the ABS pulsing gently and saving me from becoming a hood ornament. It made me fall for the Tracer even more, which dealt with the situation in a such a manner that even the newest rider would feel comfortable grabbing a handful.
Also adding to the feeling of stability is the addition of 50mm to the swingarm, which takes away the flighty nature that made the naked version so much fun. The MT-07 is a seriously great wheelie bike, but the added length of the Tracer calms the front-end with a much more concerted effort required to loft a mono. The rear sub-frame is stronger to take the added weight of the panniers while the rear shock is also increased in length, giving 12mm more travel to a total of 142mm. Rake is increased by one degree to 25 degrees while the trail in unchanged at 90mm.
But these changes designed to add to the stability of the Tracer haven’t transpired into a slow-steering motorcycle, with only a slight nudge of the swept back handlebars required to get the Tracer changing direction. The slim feel of the bike between your legs despite the increase in fuel capacity makes the Tracer impressively entertaining and puts it firmly in the realm of sports touring, despite the reduced power. The Tracer is sure to stir up the mid-sized all-rounder market just as vigorously as the MT-07 did the naked division on its arrival two years ago. The Tracer is quick, fun, agile, practical, stylish and inexpensive. Despite being a LAMS version, the Tracer 700 is still all the motorbike that plenty of riders will ever need.
Are you looking for a LAMS bike that can handle some serious kays but also deal with a bit of adventure? Yamaha Australia dressed one of the test bikes up with a smattering of their genuine accessories, with crash bars, spot lights, a touring screen and Akrapovic exhaust giving the Tracer a hard edge. Finishing off the adventure look with the brilliant Metzeler TKC80 tyres, the exercise showed at least one of the Japanese manufacturers is looking to the success the Europeans have had with genuine accessories and are finally following suit. The bike looked stunning and was no slower through the admittedly dry corners than the road-tyre-shod alternatives. And if this isn’t your cuppa, then there are over 40 genuine accessories to choose from.

Wesel Boulevard construction likely to start in September
Almost $5.5 million of work on Wesel Boulevard is likely to begin in September after expected contract approvals at next week's Hagerstown City Council meeting.
As part of an agreement with developer NorthPoint and Washington County, Wesel Boulevard will be reconstructed from Burhans Boulevard to about where Chick-fil-A is to support increased traffic. It will also be widened to as much as six lanes to provide right- and left-turn lanes for the NorthPoint industrial park on both sides of the road.
The council and mayor voiced support Tuesday for awarding the following bids:
•$5,202,323.65to C. William Hetzer Inc. of Hagerstown forconstruction.
•$72,955.40 to Econolite Inc. for video detection cameras at traffic signals.
• $125,050 to Frederick, Seibert & Associates for roadway construction.
• $39,194.16 fo Triad Engineering Inc. for consulting services for geotechnical inspections and testing.
• $30,000 to the Hagerstown Light Department to remove and reset existing street poles and other related work.
If approved, the bids would give the city a roughly $500,000 "cushion" under the promised $6 million for the project,Assistant City Engineer Jim Bender said.
Previously, Washington County agreed to pay for up to $2.7 million, with the city funding up to $1.5 million, and NorthPoint providing $1.8 million, according to an agreement city and county officials approved earlier this year.
Should the project cost less than $6 million, the city and county shares would be reduced proportionally. NorthPoint would pay $1.8 million regardless.
City Engineer Rodney Tissue said if the contract bids are approved at next Tuesday's regular session, work will likely start in September and go on as long as the weather allows, with any leftover work finished next spring.

An enormous amount of knowledge about the ovary has been generated over the last two decades, due in part to the development of strategies to genetically manipulate the mouse using embryonic stem cell technology. Our group and others have identified multiple factors that are important and essential at all stages of ovarian folliculogenesis from formation of the primordial factor to ovulation. It is obvious that an oocyte, the key cargo of the ovary, and the surrounding granulosa cells, the support cells of the follicle, entertain a dialog that is key for granulosa growth and differentiation and oocyte growth, maturation, and fertilization. In addition to the involvement of genes in these processes, small non-coding RNAs including microRNAs and siRNAs have been implicated as key regulators, especially in the oocyte. These studies have direct implications for human fertility control in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) laboratory.
The first knockouts of genes in mice were achieved in the late 1980s. However, the last two decades have seen the publication of a wealth of information on the development and physiology of the mammals using the newfound technology. Included among this list are over 500 mutant mouse models that have a fertility phenotype [1,2]. In particular, our group has been focused on understanding the factors involved in intercellular communication between the oocyte and the surrounding cumulus cells in the periovulatory follicle . In addition, not only are genes encoding proteins involved in this process but also small non-coding RNAs that function to regulate gene expression .
Beginning with formation of the primordial follicle, the oocyte and its surrounding granulosa cells communicate, a dialog that is essential for fertility. Although all of the secreted factors required in primordial follicle recruitment have not been identified, it is obvious that the oocyte plays a key role at later stages. At the transition from the primary (one layer) follicle to the secondary (two or more layers preantral) follicle, growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) in mouse  and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) in sheep  are essential and critical for fertility. GDF9 and BMP15, members of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily that play key roles in mammals , are most closely homologous to each other in the family and are synthesized in oocytes beginning at primordial follicle recruitment [8–10].
The transition from preantral to antral follicles requires extragonadal signaling. The pituitary glycoprotein hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) have distinct roles in the regulation of folliculogenesis . In the absence of FSH the ovarian follicle halts at the large preantral follicle stage [11,12]. However, in the presence of FSH, many of the intercellular connections between the granulosa cells and the oocyte are disrupted, allowing an antrum to form , the first step in the formation of a preovulatory follicle. The preovulatory follicle separates the granulosa cell component into two parts: those lining the wall and adjacent to the basement membrane are called the mural granulosa cells whereas those adjacent to the oocyte are called the cumulus granulosa cells. LH plays a dual role in the follicle, stimulating androgen synthesis by the thecal cells and inducing ovulation of a cumulus cell-oocyte complex (COC) [4,14–16].
In addition to a role of LH in ovulation, LH works indirectly with the oocyte to induce the process of cumulus expansion, the laying down of a proteinaceous and hyaluronic acid rich matrix [1,2,4]. Multiple genes have been shown to play roles in cumulus expansion (Table 1). Oocyte secreted factors including GDF9, BMP15, and fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) are required for this process, and the Eppig laboratory has elegantly demonstrated important roles of the oocyte in regulation of cumulus cell amino acid transport, glycolysis, and cholesterol biosynthesis [17–20]. Because LH receptors are not present on cumulus cells, LH acts by inducing the secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like ligands from the mural granulosa cells and subsequent synergism with the oocyte-secreted proteins to regulate cumulus cell functions . These signaling pathways are important for the ART laboratory.
MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that are approximately 22 nucleotides in length . These molecules are thought to function as repressors of gene expression by blocking mRNA translation and/or destabilizing and degrading the mRNA transcript . Using mouse modeling techniques, microRNAs have been implicated to play roles in ovarian function and development. Although microRNAs and/or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are required in the oocyte (see next section), microRNAs likely function only through “fine tuning” of gene expression in granulosa cells. To date, most of the data involves microRNA profiling of ovarian tissues, and therefore there is only speculation of the actual function of specific microRNAs (Fig. 1) [42,43].
Nobox, newborn ovary homeobox-encoding gene, is a homeobox gene critical for oocyte development. Nobox null mice are infertile due to early ovarian insufficiency, demonstrating a block from the primordial to primary follicle stage [44,45]. Characterization of the microRNA profiles in wild type newborn ovaries revealed especially high levels of miR-709 , an abundant microRNA in mouse embryos . Additionally let-7 microRNA family members were abundant as well in newborn ovaries. Differentially expressed microRNAs between the Nobox null and wild type mouse newborn ovaries included only modest fold changes in microRNA levels . However, the functional significance of these microRNAs in the Nobox null ovaries is not known (i.e., it is not clear whether the microRNA changes are a consequence of major changes in downstream targets of Nobox, whether they are directly regulated by Nobox, and/or if the microRNA changes play any major roles in the primordial follicle).
Lhx8 is a Lim homeodomain protein important for ovarian development . Similar to Nobox, Lhx8 is required for transition from the primordial to primary follicle stage and is required for fertility. In silico targeting algorithms speculate that miR-93 may target this important gene in ovarian development , although functional relevance of miR-93 in reproduction will have to await conditional knockout of miR-93 in oocytes.
MicroRNAs in granulosa cells are hormonally regulated. Using mouse mural granulosa cells treated with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a set of hormonally responsive microRNAs was described . In particular, miR-132 and miR-212 were significantly upregulated by hCG. In silico targeting speculated 77 common targets between these two microRNAs and hCG responsive genes. Specific targeting results suggest that miR-132 and miR-212 inhibit C-terminal binding protein 1 (Ctbp1) protein synthesis. However, the role of CTBP1 in ovarian function is not known.
Lastly, specific microRNA expression on steroid hormone expression from human primary granulosa cells has been described. Multiple microRNAs affected production of pro-gesterone, testosterone, and estradiol from these primary cell cultures . However, they only examined 187 individual microRNAs out of the now 750 known human microRNAs, based on miRBase version 14.0, release September 2009. Therefore, the global effect of microRNAs on ovarian function is still undiscovered.
Dicer1 is an endoribonuclease III essential for microRNA synthesis. It is responsible for cleavage of the precursor microRNA species with its stem-loop structure to the double stranded mature microRNA and corresponding star form . Dicer1 is essential for mammalian development as deletion of Dicer1 through traditional knockout mouse technology has shown embryonic lethality at day e11.5 .
Mutant mice with a Dicer1 hypomorphic allele (Dicer1d/d) are infertile . However, these mice were unable to maintain a pregnancy, presumably due to impaired corpus luteum function. Additionally, the corpora lutea of these mice had abnormal angiogenesis, likely through dysregulation of the antiangiogenic factor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (Timp1). In silico microRNA targeting algorithms predict that miR-17-5p and let-7b target Timp1. Both of these microRNAs were present in wild type ovaries but not in the Dicer1 hypomorphic ovaries. Additional functional studies validated the role of miR-17-5p and let-7b on Timp1 activity and angiogenic function. Thus, miR-17-5p and let-7b play a role in angiogenesis in the mouse corpus luteum.
Dicer1 is highly expressed in the mouse oocyte and is regulated with folliculogenesis and embryogenesis . Conditional deletion of Dicer1 in the oocyte using a cre recombinase driven by the zona pellucida protein 3 (Zp3) promoter, which drives cre expression in the postnatal oocyte, results in infertile mice. Oocyte growth and development and responses to gonadotropins were normal in these mice. However, the oocytes had meiotic defects due to defective spindle formation. MicroRNA profiling suggest that miR-103, miR-16, miR-30b, miR-30c, and let-7d target genes important in spindle organization. However, these defects in spindle formation may also be attributed to disruption of siRNAs as Dicer1 is also important for siRNA processing. Additionally, Dicer1 knockout oocytes have increased expression of mRNA targets of endogenous siRNAs [56,57]. Since these endogenous siRNAs appear to play a significant role in oocytes, the relative significance of microRNAs versus siRNAs in oocytes is unknown.
Dicer1 is expressed in the somatic cells of the ovary but expression does not vary with folliculogenesis. However, conditional deletion of Dicer1 in the somatic cells of the female reproductive tract using Amhr2-cre leads to infertility in female mice due mainly to the formation of oviductal diverticuli. However, unstimulated ovaries of these mice have normal histology. The presence of the oviductal diverticuli does not allow the fertilized oocytes and embryos to transit to the uterus [58–62].
Recently, the ovaries from the Amhr2-Dicer1 cKO mice were found to have a significant decrease in miR-503 expression compared to controls . Additionally, this change in expression was dependent on hormonal manipulation. MiR-503 is a target of cyclin D2 (Ccnd2), which is important for proliferation during folliculogenesis. Therefore, miR-503 could play a role in folliculogenesis; however, miR-503 likely plays a minimal role functionally since the oviductal diverticuli of normally cycling Amhr2-Dicer1 cKO mice contain hundreds of oocyte remnants and embryos , indicating that global depletion of small RNAs in granulosa cells does not grossly disrupt normal ovarian function.

Choosing the Best Ice Cream Machine for Your Business
So, you’ve decided it’s time to introduce a commercial ice cream machine in your business. Congrats! You are about to deliver so much joy to your employees or customers.
Before you jump to ordering your ice cream maker, though, there are some important considerations to think through. You don’t want just any old machine in your space, you need to find the best commercial ice cream machine for your business. Luckily, we know a thing or two about frozen confections and the machines that make them!
Here are some of our tips for choosing a commercial ice cream machine that will be the highlight of your office or business.
When choosing a commercial ice cream machine for your business, one of the first things you will need to assess is your space. There are typically two kinds of models to choose from; countertop or floor. The floor model is significantly larger and is ideal for ice cream shops and businesses that plan on selling large quantities of this frozen confection.
Countertop models are likely better for your business, as they can easily be placed on the counter, table, or shelf. While these models come in different sizes, some, like ColdSnap®, are about the size of a coffee maker and don’t take up much space, making them the perfect addition to your countertop appliance lineup.
ColdSnap is the Perfect Office Ice Cream Machine
Cool Down Time
One of the problems with the average commercial homemade ice cream machine is that it takes a while to cool down between uses. This means that your employees or customers may only be able to make one serving and the next guest will need to wait upwards of ten minutes before making their frozen treat.
Thanks to its revolutionary technology, The ColdSnap system can make an infinite number of continuously frozen confections and does not require a “re-cooling” phase. This is ideal for dishing out one serving of ice cream after another.
Your employees and customers don’t want to be stuck waiting for ice cream when they have other things to do. A commercial ice cream machine should be able to rapidly produce delicious frozen treats! Our patented technology freezes and dispenses your treat in under two minutes.
Better yet, the pods used to create the creamy ice cream are shelf-stable. There’s no need to dedicate fridge space or invest in a mini-fridge to store these pods, as they can conveniently be placed in a cabinet or display rack right next to your ColdSnap machine for easy access.
Convenience, of course, also extends to the clean-up process. But guess what? Since the ColdSnap pod contents are dispensed directly from the pod to the bowl, no clean-up of the ColdSnap machine is required between uses. This means you don’t have to burden your employees or customers with messy clean-up and they can go straight to enjoying their frozen confection.
Traditional commercial soft-serve ice cream machines often only offer two flavors: chocolate and vanilla. We’d bet your team and customers would want some more variety than that. ColdSnap ice cream comes in a variety of flavors, including some that are dairy-free and vegan. Other options, like frozen smoothies, frozen coffee, frozen protein shakes, and frozen cocktails are also available for everyone to enjoy.
ColdSnap: The Best Ice Cream Machine for Your Business
Whether you run an office, car dealership, healthcare facility, or convenience store, having a commercial ice cream machine can be a fun treat for your team and customers to enjoy. ColdSnap can whip up a delicious frozen treat in minutes with no hassle! Not only does it create the perfectly creamy ice cream (in addition to many other frozen snacks), but it’s also small enough and efficient to seamlessly blend in with your existing commercial space.
Contact us today to learn more about ColdSnap, a soon-to-be-released rapid-freezing appliance that produces single servings of ice cream and other frozen confections, on demand.

From within the tombs and dungeons of the United States’ historically unprecedented system of mass incarceration comes a Call from prisoners to rise up together on September 9th 2016 – the 45th anniversary of the Attica Prison Rebellion. As their Call states:
On September 9th of 1971 prisoners took over and shut down Attica, New York State’s most notorious prison. On September 9th of 2016, we will begin an action to shut down prisons all across this country. We will not only demand the end to prison slavery, we will end it ourselves by ceasing to be slaves.
At a time when US police are killing three people every day, and a national movement for Black Liberation is being forged in the streets, men and women being held in horrendous conditions of imprisonment will be putting their lives on the line to stand against the state-sanctioned slavery of the New Jim Crow police state that farcically calls itself “the greatest country in the world.”
As someone who personally knows the living death of the US prison system – and who spent many years in solitary confinement in that system – I find it incumbent upon me to stand in solidarity with those brothers and sisters still locked down in those hellholes.
We will be marching in support of the September 9th National Prison Strike. On September 9th we will meet at the State of Illinois Thompson Center at 1pm and march to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). The Illinois Department of Corrections has administrative offices in the Thompson Center, and the MCC is a United States federal prison in the heart of downtown Chicago.
Other actions will be planned as well. If you or your organization is planning anything, please let us know so we can support it. I will post any further details here.
Please join and spread the FaceBook event for the demo

If you thought the possibility of the Ducks dealing any of their big three could get your attention, then the chance that Rick Nash could be had as well should have you on the edge of your seat.
Nash tells Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch that if the Blue Jackets were looking to improve the team and thought that trading him would do the trick, Nash wouldn’t stop them from doing it.
“The city of Columbus deserves a winner and deserves a good product on the ice. If it comes to that — like you said, all speculation — but if they don’t want me here, they want to move me? I’m not going to do something where it’s going to hurt the franchise just because I have that in my contract.”
If Nash keeps talking like that, they’ll build a statue of him by the time his career is over. Whether that’s in Columbus or not depends on what’s going through GM Scott Howson’s head.
There’s little doubt that the Blue Jackets could command a king’s ransom for Nash. He’s a potentially dominating left wing and if put in a situation where he’s got a legit playmaker he’s the sort of player that can swing the balance of power in a playoff race.

*President Barack Obama has signed the “Emmett Till Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act of 2016,” which aims to reopen unsolved civil rights cases, Vibe.com reports.
The bill is an update of a previous version of the same name that was passed by the House of Representatives in 2007. This bill expansion now allows both the Department of Justice and the FBI to bring to justice those who committed crimes prior to 1970.
Obama is calling upon both agencies to “investigate and prosecute criminal civil rights violations that occurred before 1980 and resulted in a death.”
READ RELATED STORY: Chris Webber To Address Social Issues With ‘Fearless Or Insane’ Podcast
According to a White House summary, the bill calls on both agencies to support the “full accounting of all victims whose deaths or disappearances were the result of racially motivated crimes” and “hold accountable under federal and state law individuals who were perpetrators of, or accomplices in, unsolved civil rights murders and disappearances.”
Federal agencies must also meet regularly with civil rights organizations and various DOJ-designated entities to facilitate information sharing about the status of their work. Families must also be regularly updated about the status of the investigations.
Meanwhile, Obama believes he would have defeated Donald Trump if only the Constitution allowed him to seek a third term.
“I am confident in [my progressive] vision because I’m confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could have mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” Obama told his former top adviser David Axelrod on Axelrod’s podcast, “The Axe Files.”
“I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country, even some people who disagreed with me, they would say, ‘The vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one,’ ” he said.
Trump responded to the statement via his official PR agency, Twitter.com.
“President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! — jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.,” he tweeted Monday afternoon.


Saying you want to build more public transit along the Wasatch Front because you want to encourage development is like saying you want to build more hospitals in China because you want to encourage coronavirus.
You build hospitals because people are already sick, or are going to be. And you build more public transit because people are already here, or are going to be.
There is no need for the state and local governments hereabouts to do anything along the lines of tax breaks or grants to boost that growth. Or have our elected officials not looked out of a window recently and seen all those construction cranes?
There is a need for public infrastructure to handle that growth. It’s going to be expensive, and the best way is to make the inevitable growth pay for the transit, affordable housing and other needs, not the other way around.
In the long run, transit to encourage growth and transit to accommodate growth might not look that different from one another. Either way, the state, cities, counties and the Utah Transit Authority will be dropping billions on buses, bus lanes, light rail, commuter rail, bike paths, walking trails, highways, interchanges, streets, roundabouts, sidewalks, bridges and all that jazz, trying to keep up with the skyrocketing number of people and cars that come here and move around.
The problem is, even if we don’t build the transportation systems we ought to have, there is no reason to assume that the growth will stop.
In a logical world, there might come a day when intelligent folks would look at the I-15 corridor and decide that staying here, or moving here, is a goofy idea because the highways are already gridlocked and the housing is already too expensive and the air is already deadly.
But when in human history has that happened?
The whole of our existence has been ever-larger conglomerations of people. New York. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Seattle. London. Rome. Bangalore. Mumbai. Singapore. Rio. Shanghai. Places get dirty and smelly and overcrowded and expensive and push people onto the streets, and people still move there because they think there are economic or educational opportunities or just because it’s exciting.
Exceptions, places such as Detroit and Buffalo, are different because of unique circumstances, usually a sharp downturn in a specific industry, a too-big-to-fail part of the local economy that failed anyway. Or moved away.
Ideas being floated now include expanding the TRAX light rail system into what will soon be the old state prison site at the Point of the Mountain in and near Draper, at a cost of maybe $1.2 billion. Ogden wants the Legislature to cough up a comparatively paltry $10 million to help it with the roads and public utilities that will be necessary to handle expected growth at in near Hill Air Force Base.
Meanwhile, opposition to the ginormous Olympia Hills project in the southwest part of Salt Lake County — the part of it that isn’t just an opposition to people who live in apartments instead of bungalows — is based on concern that the added population would put way too much strain on public infrastructure. Mostly roads.
Olympia Hills, like the land within the benighted inland port territory near Salt Lake International Airport, is difficult to control because most of the land is in private hands. Government doesn’t have the power to just say no. So what is necessary is both a detailed — and expensive — planning process and the stiffest possible level of fees to minimize negative impacts and have the developers pay their own way.
The old prison site offers more opportunity for wise growth because the dirt is owned by the state. As the state sells, leases or develops the property, it should hold out for tons of revenue that will be necessary to build transit, schools and other public services.
The fear that we might levy fees so high that people don’t build here is not realistic. Any development or jobs we lose are things we didn’t have room for.
If the redevelopment of the Point of the Mountain area doesn’t pay for itself, many times over, in a relatively short period of time, then we’d be better off making it into a park.

Information About Ancient Chinese Gunpowder
The Ancient Chinese civilization was very skilled at using what nature gave them to create various inventions. One of the most important and best known inventions that the Chinese ever created was gunpowder. Ancient Chinese gunpowder is still in use to this very day and is one of the most powerfully explosive substances available.
While ancient Chinese gunpowder has made war much more deadly, it has also much more interesting uses. These include mining and fireworks. Without gunpowder, civilization would be at a loss.
Alchemists during the Han Dynasty in China were trying to create a formula which would allow them to live forever. This immortality elixir was never found. However, they did stumble across the ingredients used for ancient Chinese gunpowder.
When they were using Potassium Nitrate and Sulphur to try and create their elixir, they found that it would actually ignite spontaneously. This was of great interest to the Ancient Chinese Alchemists, even though the reaction was very dangerous.
One of the Chinese alchemists which discovered this went on to write a book discussing the interactions between different substances and warning that certain ingredients should not be mixed together because they can have a volatile reaction.
Chinese Gunpowder Formula
By the end of the Tang Dynasty the Chinese developed their knowledge of Sulphur and Potassium Nitrate to develop a formula for gunpowder. The early gunpowder was very similar to the gunpowder still in use today. This was charcoal, sulphur and potassium nitrate mixed together.
This was initially used to create flares for signaling and fireworks which were used to scare off evil spirits. They also filled metal containers with gunpowder and created simple grenades.
The Song Dynasty saw the creation of flame throwers which were used during many battles. This worked by packing gunpowder into bamboo tubes which were then lit.
While the mix used to make early gunpowder was similar to the formula still in use, it also contained a number of toxic substances. These include arsenic and mercury. This means that the use of ancient Chinese gunpowder in this way could be seen as the first use of chemical warfare.
Spreading throughout the world
After the Chinese discovered gunpowder, this knowledge spread across the rest of the world. Weapons powered by gunpowder started to appear in the Middle East, Europe and India. These other countries also worked on refining and finding uses for Gunpowder. While it’s not clear whether Chinese or other nations are responsible for refining the mix, they can still be credited with its creation.
The Chinese armies were quick at finding many new uses for the explosive gunpowder. Throughout history they created many Gunpowder weapons which helped them to defeat many nomadic tribes in the country.
Whether or not you are against war, you have to agree that ancient Chinese gunpowder really does have its benefits. The Chinese gave the whole world this knowledge. Ancient Chinese gunpowder is still used to this day and closely follows the original Chinese formula.

Thousands of sea creatures have been washing up on Teesside's beaches with some residents reporting that piles are 'waist deep'.
Dead and alive crabs, lobsters and various crustaceans are lying on the beach between Marske and Saltburn, and along the coastline at Seaton Carew and Seaham, TeessideLive reports.
The Environment Agency has launched an investigation and is considering whether a pollution incident is to blame.
Marske resident Sharon Bell, who walks the stretch of beach near her home every day, said the numbers of creatures have steadily increased over the past two weeks.
The 48-year-old was out early on Monday morning photographing the sunrise with her husband Christopher when they came across huge piles of dead and alive crabs and lobsters on the beach.
They spent the next four hours trying to return any live ones they could find back into the water.
"I have been along my usual walk from Marske to Saltburn and was utterly shocked and saddened to see in some parts, waist deep seaweed full of thousands of dead and alive crabs and lobsters, all kinds and species," said Mrs Bell.
"I have never seen anything like this.
"My husband and I have spent hours putting as many live ones as we could back in the sea, something is very, very wrong here.
"This has been building up for a couple of weeks, along our coast and no-one is doing anything about it."
She has lived in the area for 21 years and, she says, has never seen anything like the scene there on Monday morning - even after a rough high tide or a storm.
"It was just awful to see. It has been building up over the last couple of weeks but I have never seen anything like that.
"It was so deep in some parts and piled that high."
Just over two weeks ago, TeessideLive reported dead crustaceans had been spotted washed up at Seaton Carew, Redcar and further North in Seaham. The Environment Agency launched an investigation - which is on going.
A spokesman for the agency told TeessideLive on Monday they are considering whether a pollution incident might be to blame.
"We are working with partners at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture and North Eastern Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority to investigate why hundreds of dead crabs have washed up along the shore in the Tees Estuary and neighbouring beaches," said a spokesman for the Environment Agency.
“Samples of water, sediment, mussel and crab have been collected and are being sent to our labs for analysis, to consider whether a pollution incident could have contributed to the deaths of the animals.
"We have also shared samples with CEFAS labs for disease analysis."
Redcar MP Jacob Young said it was 'deeply worrying' to see the piles of sea creatures washed up along the coastline.
"I have raised it with Ministers and will continue to, until the cause is identified," he said.
"My thanks to the Environment Agency and CEFAS for their investigations so far."
Redcar residents have also taken to social media to voice their concerns after images of the scene of the beach were posted on Monday morning.
"This awful wildlife getting killed. This needs investigating. What is going on along north coast?" said one resident.
"This is awful someone must be held responsible, if it is killing our wildlife then it could kill humans as well," said another.
A phone number has been released for people to report any incidents of pollution they might see.
“If you are aware of pollution affecting wildlife, please report it to the Environment Agency on 0800 807060," added the EA spokesman.

A cleaner who plundered over £10,000 worth of items from homes and then put them up for sale on eBay has been jailed for two years.
Jean Hillman deliberately targeted goods after being given “unfettered access” to the properties.
Many of the items, including jewellery, toys and clothing, were of either high value or of high sentimental value.
Hillman, of Yardley Road, Acocks Green, had previously admitted five charges of theft.
In August 2014 she began working for a company called Maid to Clean before being directly employed by Helen O’Neill.
Birmingham Crown Court heard they became close friends, with the defendant even babysitting for her.
She cleaned for Mrs O’Neill and also her neighbours who lived in Dorridge and Solihull and had keys to let herself in.
Hillman's offending came to light following a tip off.
An investigation revealed what she had been doing with some of the victims unaware of their losses until they discovered items on eBay.
“The way the defendant was going about her offending was not to steal the most obvious of items like a mobile phone or laptop, but to steal things that would not be noticed straight away,” said William Dudley, prosecuting.
As a result she had gone searching in backs of wardrobes, drawers and even in one case an attic for keepsakes.
One victim was a former partner who had been unaware that Hillman had taken an heirloom - a Royal Albert tea-set - until his daughter spotted it on eBay.
His suspicions were aroused and when he looked at bags the defendant had left at his home, he found other items she had stolen.
Mr Dudley said some of them were “utterly priceless” to their former owners.
They included two pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes , worth £1,200, from one couple from Dorridge.
She also stole a Court Forrester gold pocket watch, worth £1,000. It was a family heirloom that belonged to the victim’s grandfather and had been passed down through three generations.
The cleaner also stole a Mont Blanc pen set, worth £845.
Hillman worked for Mrs O’Neill between August 2014 and July last year, and took from her home a ring with a diamond shaped daisy, which had been given to her by her father on her 18th birthday.
In passing sentence Judge Dean Kershaw said Hillman had taken a high number of items. They included children’s clothing which were keepsakes and “truly irreplaceable.”
Bernard Porter, defending, said Hillman, suffered from depression and a degenerative back problem.
She had begun offending after her relationship broke down and she had been looking for somewhere else to live.

Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment
167. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment when the awardees of the SEAI National Energy Research Development and Demonstration Funding Programme will be announced; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59069/21]
The National Energy Research Development & Demonstration (RD&D) Programme is administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Outline call timelines are indicated on the SEAI website, with grant awards expected from Q4 2021; full details are provided at: www.seai.ie/grants/research-funding/research-development-and-demonstration-fund/
The 2021 Call received a significant increase in applications, demonstrating the strong demand for energy research funding in Ireland. Award announcements are expected imminently. I have been advised by SEAI that funding recommendations have been finalised within the eligible programme budget, and are at the final stages of the approval process.
The National Energy RD&D Funding Programme has grown from attracting between €1-2 million in annual applications pre-2018, to almost €30 million in the most recent previous call and increasing again significantly in 2021 to more than €60 million. This is a significant step change for the programme. Concurrent enhancements to processes, IT systems, and resourcing, have been a key focus in 2021 to ensure the programme can continue to grow and scale going forward, to support national energy research and innovation, ensuring maximum impact for the Irish energy sector.
