I'm about to sign up for a charity ride in mid-September.
It's a 2 day ride, 100 or 75 miles the first day, 75 miles the second day.
I've never ridden that far. I rode 35 miles today and yesterday, and have no soreness or tiredness at all, however I've not gone further than 50 miles in a day.
I'm training pretty regularly (5 mile run with sprints on mondays, hill sprints with some chest and tri work on tuesdays, leg strength work on thursday, back work on fridays, rides sat and sunday), so I'll likely improve. Can I reasonably sign up if after 2 35 mile days I can do 50 miles tomorrow without trouble, or should I be thinking harder about this?
It's a fully supported ride, so I can hop in a van at any 12 mile interval if I feel like it, but I want to know if I'm crazy to try this. Also, I guess I should buy some bike clothes.
07-19-08, 07:44 PM
You should be just fine. I would suggest, however, building up a good mileage "base" between now and then, 100-150 miles/week should work great for you. Remember, build consistency on days (like 20 miles/day) versus just killing yourself two days on the weekend. I did the whole little miles during the week/weekend kill last year and progressed, but this year I've been doing consistent miles and progress like whoa.
Also, I'd recommend a "dry run" (if you can) two weeks before the event. That will give you a good idea if you can handle the mileage for sure, but I'd imagine you'll have no problem.
07-19-08, 07:47 PM
Even if I'm running/training otherwise in the mornings, you'd add evening bike rides? I'm happy to do that, I LOVE being on my bike, but I'd been hesitant about that whole thing.
07-19-08, 07:51 PM
Yeah, you should be fine with that, or just sub riding for running. Remember, different muscles, I have known folks who are great runners but really can't crank out miles on bikes.
Whichever way you do it, make sure you have fun!!
Totally doable. You might get some saddle issues if you are not used to so much sadde time. I have done 60 milers, unsupported, in the midde of nowhere, with a pack of vultures circuling above me.
Get some padded shorts, or even better, bibs. You will use those commando (no undies) and with some kind of buttcream (or even vaseline) to prevent saddle sores. Taking a 10 minute break when your butt hurts helps a lot.
You could also use some gel-filled-gloves to help minimise hand numbness. ANd while you are at it. A couple of polar water bottles (maybe not needed since you gonna be fully suported).
Pack some gels and bars just in case.

Well, I sprained my knee badly shortly after I posed this question. I just now became able to ride again, and went for a quick ride today. 30 hilly miles fixed (I'm not good at moderation) were relatively painless, I'll be seeing how I feel tomorrow and the next day, but this is is looking a little trickier right now but I'm still optimistic.
08-31-08, 06:16 AM
I just completed my first century with what sounds like a similar training regimen to yours. I wasn't riding super consistently, usually a 30-40 mile ride on weekends and just running errands, commuting, and an occasional shorter ride during the week. I was also working out 3-4 times a week.
My knees were a bit sore the day after the century but I was on the bike two days later and they hurt when I started riding but stopped about 5 or 10 minutes into the ride.
I'd say you'll likely be OK. The usual applies, eat, drink, don't burn yourself out early on. Besides (as I was told when I posted a similar thread) what have you got to lose? Especially if the ride is fully supported. My only concern would be that knee but if you're feeling OK I'd still say go for it.
09-14-08, 02:52 PM
Well, day 2 got canceled due to the winds/rain from Ike.
Day 1 Ride Report:
Naturally, I slept poorly, woke up at 5 AM with that horrible feeling of knowing you've just gotten a cold. After going to the start point, I was incredibly nervous. I was kind of sick, hadn't grabbed breakfast, hadn't trained at all, and was wearing bike shorts and a jersey without something over them for the first time, and didn't have a riding buddy.
We all got under way at 7:30, and I had a tire blow out after roughly 1/6th of a mile and got to be the first person to see the SAG truck. After getting my wheel patched, I was out of sight of all 488 other riders, way back. I kind of hurried to the first rest stop at ten miles, and didn't have a good sense of pace.
Right after the first rest stop, I found some people keeping a leisurely 16 mph pace and rode with them for 20 miles until they hopped in a truck to ride to the end. Rode the 10 miles to lunch alone, pacing myself at around 18 mph just because it was comfortable. Lunch was 6 miles further than my previous longest ever bike ride. Grabbed a half a peanut butter sandwich and kept going. Found myself going way too fast (around 20-21 mph to the next rest stop) without anyone to pace with, but after the slow start, I was pretty far behind the faster riders. Kept up the brisk pace until I ran into someone averaging around 17.5 mph around mile 58. We rode together until the end, with her getting a little tired and drafting me for much of the distance. I felt great until maybe 4 miles from the end when we ended up going into a massive headwind. By the time I got there, I felt a little tired but good. Since we went off course, our total distance ended up right around 83 miles.
I borrowed a geared bike to do this, and was so nervous I nearly didn't go. I LOVED IT. Riding distance was so much fun, and apparently I'm pretty good at it, belly and all. I felt great, I had a ton of fun, and I really want to buy a proper road bike and start doing centuries. My back hurts a bit, but I was ready to ride again today.
09-14-08, 03:00 PM
Excellent and congratulations!
You have inspired me even more to do this (lose weight/get in shape).
By this time next year? Oh, yeah... :thumb:
Good for YOU!!!

There's no thrill in easy sailing ... but there IS satisfaction that's mighty sweet to take, when you reach a destination that you thought you'd never make.
Congrats & Well Done !!! :thumb:

You can't imagine how inspiring it was for me reading your journey. Just under a year ago I was training for back to back (7 days apart) marathons. I had already run one in January in 85 degree Orlando heat (Disney) and was really wondering if I had lost my mind - Marine Corp and New York on consecutive Sundays.
Kinda burned me out for running - tried starting back after the normal rest time and my 50 year old body never really 'felt it.'
Now I'm biking - man, I have found my 'happy place.'
As you can see from my marathoning experience, I do love the challenge. I haven't planned anything, but your recount of your event has inspired me. I'm currently commuting 10 miles each way to work 3 days a week and riding between 12-35 miles on the weekend, depending on my schedule. Based on your account, I think I should set my sights on a century. Thanks for sharing the experience!
09-14-08, 05:59 PM
Next time do it on your fixed gear. It is not a big deal if you're used to riding it. Just settle into a comfortable spin and watch the miles go by. If you have a flip flop, it would be a good idea to give yourself a bailout gear, but I bet you won't need it.
I love distance riding. You would have been in the thick of it if that tire had not blown. You were going plenty fast enough. Good for you.
First time in bike shorts and jersey in public, huh? My wife met me at the end of my last century ride, and said something to effect that "almost nobody here looks good in lycra". :lol: The bicycle and the hunched-over position hides a lot, and I think that a lot of people think that people are showing off their good conditioning, or something. In a vast majority of cases, nothing could be farther from the truth.
Even for the elite riders that were timed for qualification purposes on that ride (it was not a race, but had a qualifying cut-off time used by some people that DO want to qualify to ride in real timed race events later), I'd say less than 10% of them look great wearing their road gear. The rest of us are just regular humans, full of flaws, that like to be comfortable while we ride. I just got used to it after a while. Getting used to how other people look in lycra was easy, but getting used to seeing my own reflection in a window or mirror took a while to get used to. I don't even notice anymore. You get used to it.
Way to go again. Keep riding!

Life has been a whirlwind for Stewart Beck, president and CEO of the Asia Pacific Foundation, for the past five years. After being posted as Canada’s consul-general to San Francisco in 2009, he expected to have a few years of relative peace in Northern California.Instead, Beck was uprooted a year into the job and named Canada’s high commissioner to India, where he spent the past four years representing Canada in the world’s most-populous parliamentary democracy. The complexity of the political, social, cultural and economical nature of India proved to be quite an experience for Beck, who now brings that perspective to the Foundation as its lead executive. Beck, who took office at the non-profit think-tank in August, has spent 30 years in Canada’s diplomatic service. With stops in cities like Shanghai and Taipei, and a posting as director general of Canada’s North Asia bureau in the Foreign Affairs Department in Ottawa, he brings an on-the-ground perspective on Asian economies — and, more importantly, where Canada fits in the big picture.

Profile: Denis McDonough
Denis McDonough was a participant or observer in the following events:
President-elect Barack Obama orders two days of secret briefings with the CIA on interrogation policies and procedures. He sends his chief counsel, Gregory Craig; his nominated National Security Adviser, James Jones; foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough; former senators David Boren (D-OK) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE); and former CIA general counsel Jeffrey H. Smith to Langley. They meet with CIA Director Michael Hayden, his deputy Stephen Kappes, and about 20 senior CIA officials, who brief Obama’s team on the agency’s counterterrorism and rendition programs. In the briefings, Hayden and his colleagues argue for the preservation of the agency’s secret prison and torture programs. Hayden acknowledges that the agency stopped using the secret prisons in 2006, and says that agency operatives stopped using waterboarding as an interrogation method in 2003. He wants the CIA to retain its option to use other “harsh methods” as needed. During the briefings, CIA officials acknowledge that some foreign intelligence agencies have begun withholding information about suspected terrorists from the agency for fear that they might become implicated in the eventual torture of those suspects. As Boren and Smith will later recall, the group is not convinced that whatever useful intelligence those methods may have garnered warrants keeping them as an option. “They said that they had produced valuable intelligence,” Smith will recall. “We took them at their word.” However, the group decides that “whatever utility it had at the outset… the secret prisons and enhanced techniques were no longer playing a useful role—the costs outweighed the gains.” Those costs include the palpable damage to America’s identity and values, and the lost credibility and prestige among many of its closest allies. Boren will later call attending the briefings “one of the most deeply disturbing experiences I have had.… I wanted to take a bath when I heard it. I was ashamed of it.” He believes that “fear was used to justify the use of techniques that violate our values and weaken our intelligence,” and that the agency did not prove those methods “are particularly effective at getting the truth.” [Washington Post, 4/24/2009]
According to ABC News, the Justice Department’s release of a 2004 report by the CIA’s inspector general (see May 7, 2004 and August 24, 2009) is preceded by a “profanity-laced screaming match” between CIA Director Leon Panetta and White House officials. This apparently produces disquiet among White House officials regarding Panetta. According to ABC News, some White House officials are “worrying about the direction of its newly-appoint[ed] intelligence team.” Some reports say that Panetta has already threatened to resign once, and White House officials are discussing “a possible shake-up of top national security officials.” According to one unnamed “senior adviser to [President] Obama on intelligence matters,” “You can expect a larger than normal turnover in the next year.” And another former senior intelligence official predicts, “Leon will be leaving.” But a White House spokesman, Denis McDonough, says the reports of Panetta’s threatened resignation and a potential “shake-up” of top intelligence and national security officials are “inaccurate.” Both Panetta and CIA spokesman George Little say reports of his threatened resignation are “absolutely untrue”; the spokesman says of the alleged tirade that Panetta is known to use “salty language.” Former counterterrorism specialist and current ABC News consultant Richard Clarke says: “It would be a shame if such as talented a Washington hand as Panetta were to leave after one year. It takes that long for any senior bureaucrat to begin to understand what needs to get done and how to do it. The CIA needs some stability.” [ABC News, 8/24/2009] Newsweek’s Mark Hosenball says that Panetta has been sending mixed messages. “Panetta had been kind of ambiguous, at least in terms of his public statements and even his private messages, as to whether he’s strongly opposed to release of documents like this or not,” he says. “Some cases it’s looked like he’s been in favor of releasing documents like this; in other cases, it’s looked like he’s been against it. I think he’s trying to straddle the issue here. I mean, certainly, previous CIA directors like General Mike Hayden and George Tenet have strongly expressed the view that this stuff shouldn’t have been released. Panetta hasn’t been quite as strong in saying that publicly, anyway.” [PBS, 8/24/2009]
In the evening, President Obama meets with his national security team to make final preparations for the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (see March 30-April 19, 2011). Obama meets with four advisers: National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough, and chief of staff Bill Daley. As the meeting begins, Obama tells them he has finally given approval for the raid. He says, “It’s a go.” The raid is planned to take place the next day. However, officials warn that because of cloudy weather, the raid probably will be delayed one day to May 1 (which is May 2 in Pakistan). That will turn out to be the case (see May 2, 2011).

I stayed for 4 nights in an executive suite as a part of a conference. My room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have experienced. It was hot outside, but the air conditioning made it comfortable in my room and all conference spaces. The Blu Ember was an excellent dining experience. Staff were all friendly and helpful. My room was cleaned well daily and there was a nice turn down service at night. I did not use the pool areas, but they looked very inviting. I would highly recommend this resort.

Kenneth Ruggieri hit with road-rage attempted murder charge -- but did victim invite trouble?
Kenneth Ruggieri, the 22 year old seen here, has been arrested on suspicion of hitting and running, DUI and attempted murder.
Big photos, video below.
Yet a rep for the police department in Lakewood, where the incident took place, reserves much of his harshest criticism not for Ruggieri, but for the man at whom he may have fired a shot -- because he allegedly escalated an extremely minor matter that could have ended not only with his death, but that of his wife and child. Photos, video and details below.
Lakewood Police Department spokesman Steve Davis tells the tale, which involves a confrontation between Ruggieri and Paul Jones that got underway at the intersection of Wadsworth and West Girton Avenue, an area captured in the interactive graphic below. If you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map."
View Larger Map
"At about 6:30 on Monday night, two vehicles stop at the stoplight," Davis says, "and the vehicle in the rear slightly bumps the rear end of the vehicle in front of it -- so slightly that there's really no damage apparent."
Nonetheless, Jones, in the forward car with his wife and ten-year-old son, "gets out, takes a look, and tells the other guy [Ruggieri], 'Let's pull over by the side of the road and see if we need to call police.' And the guy behind takes off."
According to Jones, who told his story to 9News, Ruggieri also smelled of alcohol, used profanity and threatened his life -- details Davis doesn't mention. But there's no dispute about what happened next.
Jones "took off and started following this guy, even though his wife and child were in the car with him, and followed him to an apartment where the suspect apparently lived, on the 7300 block of West Hampden."
Ruggieri wasn't alone, either. He was joined by a thus-far-unidentified passenger, and after Jones pulled up, it was this second man, not Ruggieri, who engaged him -- something not entirely clear in the 9News report below, but correctly detailed in text that accompanied it
"The passenger and the victim [Jones] got into a scuffle as the suspect [Ruggieri] took off running to the apartment," Davis continues. "Then, the suspect came out with a handgun and fired one round."
In his 9News interview, Jones quotes Ruggieri as saying, "I told you I was going to f-ing kill you;" he censored himself for broadcast. But according to Davis, it's currently unclear whether the shot was "an attempt to scare him [Jones] or hit him. We may never know."
At that point, Davis continues, Jones "ran back to his car and told his wife, 'We have to get out of here,' and they left while she was on the phone with our dispatch center. Then they saw an officer and waved him down, and we had quite a few other units come in. They contacted the suspect [Ruggieri] and the passenger and took them into custody."
The passenger was subsequently "booked and released pending charges," notes Davis, who thinks an accusation against him might consist of "harassment, if anything." Meanwhile, Ruggieri was booked on DUI, hit and run and attempted murder, with Davis referring to the latter as "something we'd customarily put in there -- but whether the DA goes with that, we don't know. It all depends on if the weapon was fired with some kind of intent."
As for Jones, Davis doesn't pull any punches when discussing his actions.

Despite her severe pre-existing cardiac conditions with pulmonary hypertension, atrial arrhythmias and mitral valve stenosis, the infection did not lead to any cardiac or pulmonary deterioration. In adults, cardiac co-morbidities are known risk factors for a severe course of coronavirus disease 2019 infections. This case illustrates that in children even severe cardiac disease is not necessarily associated with a severe course of coronavirus disease 2019.

OBJECT-ORIENTED PRODUCT MODELING FOR EARLY ASSEMBLY COST ESTIMATION
Although an early assembly cost estimation can lead to decreased manufacturing cost, existent methods do not support sufficiently such an estimation. Therefore, an object-oriented product-modeling framework for the early estimation of assembly costs for new or prototype products manufactured as a unique-manufacture or in small series by means of manually or hybrid assembly systems is presented in this paper. Based on the systematic engineering design theory critical product factors with assembly cost relevance are classified in an object-oriented scheme. Then, based on the fundaments of the systems engineering theory an object-oriented class structure is established in order to introduce the assembly.

While working on a project that began in L.A. months ago, we’ve shifted our focus to Beijing. Business model intact, site lease signed, staff hired for buildout, and training sessions have been scheduled.
As you probably know, Brewed Behavior doesn’t typically consult at a retail level; we stick to our strengths in helping roasters and producers. However, occasionally a wholesale client will have “a” retail flagship store or “a few” retail stores tied to a concept that we just can’t resist, at which point we will tie into the project. This is one such project, and a good opportunity to try new things like: a high-tech brew bar on its own, an espresso bar, freshly sourced foods from an open kitchen, and the roastery at the retail location, which just happens to be in a shopping mall. Yes, a shopping mall, or as they are known in China: the emerging trend in lifestyle centers.
We learned a few good lessons about shopping malls back in some previous dealings in Japan. That said, we read about the “BRIC” economy (Brazil-Russia-India & China) everyday, and how it is the economy of the future. As Americans it’s easy to dismiss this notion in hopes that our own place on the top of the pile will be restored any day now. In previous articles I have gone on record to dispel this entitled cultural thinking, adding simply that it will never be the same, even in our best patriotic efforts. Brewed Behavior is currently working in three of the four BRIC economies and I am convinced the framework is built upon solid modeling. These economies watched from the sidelines as we issued too much personal debt to those lacking the ability to repay.
What I can tell you about this visit, other than the lighthearted comments about it being “Social Media Rehab” for visitors like myself (as you might guess, they have their own versions of Skype, Twitter and Facebook and this obviously helps to keep their culture internalized), labor for service industry jobs comes from the “outer rings” (rural areas) by those seeking a chance to make money and improve their lifestyle. In exchange, they are compensated with a subsistence wage and dormitory living accommodations provided by the employer. There are no credit cards, automobiles or other debt incurring opportunities at this level. Everything is done in RMB (cash). Something to watch for with this model is the elimination of the middle class. The upper class will of course be privy to cash and credit and banks will make plenty of interest. So the machine is oiled.
Economic indicators such as GDP and unemployment are relevant, but the demand for legitimate goods and services is the most visible and rapidly growing trend today. Of note is the younger generation that used to fill the rural factories comprising the world labor force. These kids are shunning knock-off manufacturing in hopes of a better life in the city. As a result, many of the hundreds of people in the queue at the Apple store, ready to buy an iPhone, are young service-industry workers. Food being a necessity, an iPhone seems to be a close second as an affordable luxury.
While coffee chains from the U.S., New Zealand and the U.K. are opening minds about coffee culture, as with any market the notion of what a coffee shop should be, it is still a work in progress. I am proud to say that Brewed Behavior’s client in Beijing has will be a clearly identifiable coffee importer, roaster, wholesaler, educator and ambassador, first and foremost. An ambitious undertaking to say the least.
And by the way, every product in the building is organic. Progressive is what is hot in this market. Taking care of the earth and the producer while satisfying the voracious appetites of the masses will be the challenge.
An exciting time for coffee and China.


Behind the Scenes Video! Los Cabos, Mexico Photo Shoot
Behind-the-Scenes video from the Los Cabos, Mexico photo shoot
Each year, Earth, Sea & Sky Vacations (CaboVillas.com) coordinates a spectacular photo shoot in Los Cabos. We talked to Robert Trama, Director of Marketing and the company’s in-house photographer, about this year’s shoot and the making of the behind-the-scenes (BTS) video.
This is your 7th year shooting in Los Cabos. What was the purpose of the annual photo shoot? We try to get down to Cabo every May to do the cover shoot for our annual Los Cabos Vacation guide. Additionally, we always schedule time to shoot some lifestyle, vendor and activity stuff at the villas, by the beach and in the water. Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos also hired me to do a big shoot for them which I completed the week before the cover shoot.
How long was the photo shoot? The cover and lifestyle shoot lasted four long days. The Fiesta Americana shoot lasted five days.
What properties were used as locations for the photo shoot? Why were these villas chosen/what makes them unique? We shot at Villa Captiva, Villa Vista Ballena and Villa Turquesa. We decided on these three platinum-level properties due to their remarkable settings, opulence and unmistakably Mexican feel.
Who were the models for the shoot? For the cover, typically, we hire local talent for our shoots but on occasion we bring in models from the states or Mexico City. This time around we worked with two stunning Cabo-based models named, Miroslava Hernandez and our long-time fave, Eva Ullmann. Additionally, we worked with Suzanne Morel and her amazing team of expert spa therapists as well as A Matter of Taste Catering and their excellent concierge and catering staff.
Who were the assistants for the shoot? Our shoot team consists of myself (photographer), Danny Ramirez (second shooter, BTS videographer, assistant), Ana Mojica (stylist and make-up artist) and Don Hirschaut (company president and lead BTS videographer). This lineup hasn’t changed at all since we started shooting together back in 2007.
What are some of the more memorable aspects of the shoot? Getting a head start on the light requires us to awake at 5AM or earlier and affords us the opportunity to see some extraordinary sunrises. The sunrise at Villa Captiva was truly remarkable (check out the beginning segment of our BTS video). Working with the lovely Argentine model Eva Ullmann is always a memorable experience. She is a real professional and such a pleasure to work with. Her constant clowning around and contagious laugh always elevates the mood of everyone on the shoot team.
What makes Los Cabos so unique for photography? Besides the countless, breathtaking locations to shoot, the arid and warm climate offers year-round low humidity and little rain which equates to some of the best weather conditions available for tourism and fashion photography.
What equipment do you use? As a Nikonista my primary camera body is the Nikon D4 and my bag is filled with a variety of full-frame lenses. As for lighting, when not shooting with natural light, I employ Photogenic strobes and Nikon Speedlights.
When can we expect to see the new Los Cabos Vacation Guide with the latest photography? We’re slated to go to press the first week of November 2013 so it should start shipping before Thanksgiving.

This interview with author Neal Goldsmith covers the renaissance in the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs. Multiple clinical experiments are underway in such topics as the use of psilocybin (sacred mushrooms) for Stage 4 cancer patients facing anxiety around death and the effectiveness of MDMA (ecstasy) in helping soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan overcome PTSD. This second half of the interview is with distinguished Iranian scholar and writer Fatemeh Kashavarz and addresses the life and work of the great Sufi poet, Jalal-uddin Rumi.
Peter Dale Scott is perhaps the most perceptive political researcher and analyst we have at work today in America. His investigations into the operation of the Deep State, the nature of Deep Politics and Deep Events, and the role of the Overworld in American and international affairs are unique. Impeccably researched and superbly written, his many books cast fresh light on mysteries such as the Kennedy Assassination, The Gulf of Tonkin incident, the war on drugs and more. He is also a soulful and hypnotic poet.
Glenn Beck is perhaps the most disturbed and disturbing right wing ideologue to develop a mass following in the last decade. He purports to have insight beneath the surface of current events that alerts his readers to grand conspiracies. Where do his ideas come from and who are his influences? Here the author of the best biography of Beck takes us inside his mind and describes his main teacher, the John Birch Society supporter, W. Cleon Skousen.
The scientific study of happiness is a relatively new phenomenon, and psychologist Robert Holden is one of its pioneers. The question of what makes us happy is not as simple as it seems. Here he speaks about the freedom we have to elevate our level of happiness by developing positive practices and cultivating enduring values.
A conversation with one of America’s leading writers and scholars on the varieties and forms of Sufism.
The beliefs and practices of a sophisticated Santeria priestess in New York City.
The renewal of Christianity and the Cosmic Mass with a leading reformer and visionary.
The art of dreaming.
One of America’s finest poets and deepest esoteric thinkers talks about his experiences on the Open Center’s Esoteric Quest.
She was the unforgettable woman on Bob Dylan’s Freewheelin’ album cover, the inspiration for some of his most poignant songs, and the author of a fine memoir on Greenwich Village in the Sixties.
One of the last interviews with the soulful Irish poet and philosopher who brought an understanding of Anam Cara, soul friendship, to the contemporary world.
Can we have a more holistic activism? How can spiritual values and political/environmental engagement work together effectively?

In the ever-evolving world of technology, Apple has once again stirred the pot with its latest release, the iPhone 15. But what’s got everyone talking is not just the new features and specs; it’s the shift from the familiar Lightning port to the USB-C. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the details of the iPhone 15 USB-C price and all that comes with it. So, grab your cup of coffee, and let’s explore this intriguing transition.
iPhone 15 USB-C Adapter Price
Let’s start with the essentials. If you’re an Apple enthusiast and planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15 series, you’ll likely need the USB-C to Lightning Adapter, priced at $29.99 in the USA. This dongle bridges the gap between your existing Lightning accessories and the new USB-C port on your iPhone 15. It’s a small investment to ensure your older cables and gadgets remain useful.
If you’re ready to embrace the USB-C ecosystem fully, Apple offers two charging cable options. The one-meter cable comes at $19, capable of delivering up to 60 watts of charging power. But if you desire the convenience of a longer cable, the two-meter version, priced at $29, supports an impressive 240 watts of charging power. These cables provide data transfer at USB 2 speeds, sufficient for your everyday needs. Opt for the more powerful two-meter cable for versatility, even though it might offer more charging power than your devices require.
Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable
For those who seek peak performance, especially if you’re considering the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, the $69 Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable is a game-changer. This one-meter cable not only supports data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps, which is approximately 20 times faster than USB 2, but also offers fast charging, up to 100 watts. It’s the key to unleashing the full potential of your new iPhone.
Do you know that Apple is back in action, and they’re ready to release a slew of amazing improvements that will completely transform how you use your Apple TV? We’ll talk about tvOS 17, including its release date and all the new features that will improve your Apple TV experience:

The government has stepped up measures to contain the coronavirus or Covid-19 if the country reaches Stage 3, a full-blown pandemic, with the first measure to use a newly built hospital to treat only Covid-19 patients, as the number of infections jumped alarmingly to 114 yesterday.
The premier mentioned the prospect of moving to Stage 3 after chairing an urgent meeting on Sunday to step up measures to stop the spread of the new coronavirus. The government will “spend all the resources we need” in the fight against Covid-19, he said. In case Thailand enters Stage 3, in which people including those with no previous trips to virus-hit countries catch the disease, a dedicated hospital is needed, Gen Prayut said, referring to a new 100-bed hospital which has yet to officially open.
Authorities are also preparing other hospitals across Bangkok for Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms. They include the Royal Thai Airforce Hospital (Sikan), Golden Jubilee Medical Centre, Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute and Sirindhorn Hospital. Besides hospitals, Gen Prayut also told state agencies to brace for a worst-case scenario of the viral outbreak. Those involved in security must think whether they need to enforce new legal measures to cope with the situation. “It’s easy to announce them, but we also need to gauge their impact,” he said. Pub and entertainment venues may need to be temporarily closed after recent cluster infections involving people drinking together in a pub, he said.
The Thai traditional New Year festival usually sees a large number of people travel around country, mostly returning to their home provinces “which could fan the disease outbreak”, Dr Yong said. The number of patients in Thailand has remained relatively low, compared with those in other countries, until the numbers sharply spiked late last week. The country’s two-month “rehearsal” to contain the virus spreading has just ended, Dr Yong said.

Jazzberry Raspberry Pi mechanical keyboard
07/29/2019 10:50:45 | Views: 439
Article of www.geeky-gadgets.com: Mattis Folkestad has created a unique Raspberry Pi mechanical keyboard which neatly houses the mini PC creating an all in one computer system. The enclosure is 3D printed and combines a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and an Ajazz AK33 mechanical keyboard.
The design leaves plenty of space under the keyboard for other peripherals to be included such as a battery, extra storage or breakout boards.
“This is an attempt to build a compact all-in-one computer based on the Ajazz AK33 keyboard. It’s designed to hold a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (or 4?) inside, with the keyboard mounted on top. All plugs to the Raspi have openings, the SD card has an opening underneath.
This is my first attempt at building and printing something in 3D, and I spent many hours making prototypes and reworking the design in Blender. For my prints, the fit was decent. The keyboard slides into the top part, minding the mini usb plug, and carefully snaps down on top of the chassis.”
For more details on the unique Raspberry Pi build and all-in-one computer jump over to the Thingiverse website by following the link below.

With solar arrays, green roofs, and reclaimed materials becoming the standard for sustainable urban buildings, the Portland Sustainability Institute (PoSI) has called on urbanites to take the next step—from developing green buildings to greening entire neighborhoods.
Five pilot neighborhoods in Portland—called EcoDistricts—have taken on this challenge, committing to pursue comprehensive sustainability goals at the district scale. And the concept is already expanding beyond the Rose City.
On October 23–26, PoSI’s 2012 International EcoDistricts Summit will convene at Portland State University. Sponsored by the PSU Institute for Sustainable Solutions and the city of Portland, the Summit will bring together urban innovators to explore neighborhood-scale sustainability methods that can be applied to cities around the globe.
“The Summit provides attendees with the fundamentals of how to create sustainable neighborhoods in their own cities, from neighborhood governance to projects like district energy and water management. We aim to honestly share what’s worked as well as what hasn’t to help our peers achieve sustainability outcomes as efficiently as possible,” said Naomi Cole, EcoDistricts program director for PoSI.
Portland State lies in the heart of the South of Market (SoMa) EcoDistrict, one of the city’s five pilot districts. In addition to the usual stakeholders—residents, business owners, and city planners—the SoMa EcoDistrict also has the opportunity to engage the campus community in achieving its goals.
“The district has direct access to Portland State students and professors who offer a tremendous amount of energy and expertise for planning and carrying out sustainability initiatives,” said Fletcher Beaudoin, partnerships director for the Institute for Sustainable Solutions.
In an effort to streamline student involvement in the EcoDistrict, Beaudoin has co-taught four Senior Capstone courses on the topic with Barry Messer, professor of Urban Studies and Planning. Each Capstone has taken on projects that encourage resource efficiency within the local community, including a public waste sort on the park blocks and a proposal for a website to promote green travel within the EcoDistrict.
“Over the past couple years, there has been increasing awareness about the EcoDistrict concept and the value that it could bring to the SoMa inhabitants. This is among students, faculty and, administration at PSU, but also the surrounding property owners and residents,” said Beaudoin.

Delight as cheese firm scoops two awards
TEESDALE Cheesemakers has celebrated a double win after snapping up two major awards in the same week.
The Copley-based business, run by Allison and Jonathan Raper, was named best North East micro-business of the year by the Federation of Small Business at an awards ceremony held at the Marriott Hotel, in Gateshead, on Monday, March 28.
The win means they will go on to represent the region in the national finals which are being held in Scotland in May.
Then three days later they were awarded a bronze in the North East Tourism awards in the taste category at a glitzy ceremony in Newcastle.
Mrs Raper said: “As you can imagine we are both absolutely delighted – running a hospitality business for the last two years has been a challenge.
“These awards not only tell us we’re doing a lot of things right; they give us the confidence to continue to grow and provide secure employment for local people.”
She added: “These are new areas for us and for the Federation of Small Business to say that you are doing well, makes you feel like you are on the right track. And when the tourist board places you, it feels like you are doing
the right thing in tourism as well.”
Earlier in the year Teesdale Cheesemakers’ Doris cheese was listed in the top 100 in England by acclaimed cheese and wine expert Steve Parker, author of British Cheese on Toast.
Mrs Raper added: “We nearly didn’t go to the awards but we though the last two years we haven’t had much opportunity to get out and mix with other businesses.
“We decided to go to Newcastle for the experience, so getting a bronze was amazing.”
Since restrictions were relaxed, the couple have expanded by adding glamping studio lodges, coining the term “cheese and tranquility”.


The anti-lock brake (ABS) system makes use of sensors to transmit information to the ABS module, which activates the ABS system during wheel lock, this sensor is known as the ABS sensor. These sensor mechanisms, which are typically made of two components, are mounted at the wheel.
In order to convey information to the ABS control module, there will be a reluctor wheel or tone ring situated on the axle that spins with the wheel and either a magnetic or hall effect sensor. The reluctor wheel may deteriorate or get dusty over time to the point where it is unable to provide an accurate reading.
Well, in this article, we’ll be looking at the definition, function, diagram, working, location, symptoms, testing, how to replace an ABS sensor. We’ll also get to discuss the replacement cost an ABS sensor.

Ok then, let’s get to it.
What is an ABS sensor?
An anti-lock brake sensor, typically known as an ABS sensor, measures the rotational speed of a wheel and sends the data to the engine control module of the vehicle (ECM). The wheel speed sensor and ABS brake sensor are other names for the ABS sensor.
The ABS sensors communicate the speeds of all four wheels to the ECM, which uses this information to evaluate whether the wheels are locking up since no wheel rotate at the same speed. Compared to traditional brakes, the ABS brake applies more quickly. As a result, in some cars, the ABS generates a grinding sound when it is activated.
The hydraulic valve automatically releases the pressure on the brake fluid when the speed sensor detects that a wheel has been locked, releasing the braking pressure. The pump activates to generate pressure when the wheel is rotating, and the braking system applies the brakes again.
Read more: Understanding Airbag Sensors
Function of an ABS sensor
The main function of Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) speed sensors is to magnetically read each wheel’s rotational speed and relay the information to the vehicle’s electronic control unit. The ABS system intervenes when a wheel begins to lock up and/or skid, gradually releasing and reapplying the brake multiple times per second to help preserve optimal braking effectiveness and directional control.
If an ABS sensor malfunctions, the vehicle switches to normal braking with no possibility of ABS monitoring or pressure modulation when a wheel, or wheels, lock up while braking. In slick and/or gravel-like circumstances, a wheel will automatically lock up without ABS, and the car may lose stability and directional control.

ABS sensor diagram
Most new cars have an anti-lock braking system (ABS). To determine how quickly the wheels rotate, ABS wheel sensors are fitted to the wheels or axle. Most ABS sensors have a magnet and toothed ring encased in a coil. The signal that is sent to the ABS controller is produced when the magnet and ring make contact and an electric field is produced.
The controller then determines how fast each wheel or axle should go. The Engine Control Module then receives this information (ECM). The ABS is turned on when the ECM detects that a wheel is locking up. It runs so quickly that it frequently produces a grinding noise and pulsating sensation.
The traction control system and the ABS sensor work together to control how the car moves in unstable conditions. The system will engage when one wheel moves more slowly than the others, which will happen when traction is lost.
In order to avoid trouble, the computer decreases the amount of brake force applied to the wheel. The wheel can restore grip and resume normal rotation when this force lessens. The stability control systems in contemporary cars are also controlled by these sensors.

ABS sensor location
Some ABS wheel speed sensors are mounted directly on the axle, while others are mounted at the wheel, behind the brake rotor. The number of ABS wheel speed sensors in each car varies. On a four channel ABS system, the ABS sensor is normally found in each wheel hub or rotor. The sensor may be installed in the rear differential in some rear wheel drive applications.
How to tell which ABS sensor is bad
Here are the most common signs and symptoms of a bad ABS sensor:
Join our Newsletter
- ABS Warning Lights appears on dashboard
- Anti-lock Brakes become inoperable
- Loss of Traction or Stability Control
- Pulsating Brake Pedal while braking
ABS Warning Lights appears on dashboard
There are several significant lights on your dashboard that might warn you of impending danger. The ABS light is most likely one of the first signs of a bad ABS wheel speed sensor that you will notice when it fails. It might initially only result in the ABS warning light turning on. The traction and stability control warning lights, however, might also come on if the other systems stop working properly. In a few rare instances, bad ABS wheel speed sensors can make the speedometer stop reading.
Read more: Everything you need to know about a car ABS light
Anti-lock Brakes become inoperable
The anti-lock brakes become inoperable when an ABS sensor fails. The system sends out a warning whenever a defect is discovered, and the ABS warning light turns on. The electrical control module of the vehicle ceases getting useful data from the sensor at this point. This data is used by the computer to assess whether the wheels are locking up and need help. The ABS shuts off until the repair is completed since the system doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Read more: Understanding automotive braking system
Loss of Traction or Stability Control
Other features, including stability control and traction control may also be lost, in addition to anti-lock brakes. These systems are also turned off by the computer when the sensor stops transmitting data. However, even without the ABS light on, issues can arise. The ABS sensor may be to blame if you experience handling problems when you stop suddenly or struggle to retain traction in bad weather. Damaged electrical connections between the sensor and the ECM may also be to blame.
Read more: Understanding service StabiliTrak
Pulsating Brake Pedal while braking
Each wheel’s speed is measured by the ABS sensors, and if one of the sensors malfunctions, it will report the incorrect wheel speed on one or more wheels. As a result, the ABS control module will be misled into believing the vehicle is sliding over a slick surface. You will be able to tell whether the ABS and traction control are engaged by the brake pedal’s pulsing or pumping sensation.

Testing ABS sensor
Here’s how to test the ABS sensor in a simple pocess:
- Lift The Vehicle With A Jack
- Set The Multimeter To The 20k Ohms Range
- Disconnect The ABS Cable and then Place Probes On ABS Terminals
- Evaluate Results
Lift The Vehicle With A Jack
You engage the emergency brake and park the car’s transmission for safety purposes to prevent it from moving while you are under it. Now, you also need to raise the car where the sensor is positioned in order to get access to it and conveniently conduct a diagnosis on it.
The sensor may be found under one of your wheel hubs depending on your automobile, but you may check your owner’s manual to find out exactly where it is. To prevent confusing the ABS sensor with other sensors, you need also be aware of how the ABS sensor in your car looks. While performing these checks, slide a mat under your car to keep your clothes clean.
Set The Multimeter To The 20k Ohms Range
Set the meter to the Ohms value denoted by the omega (Ω) symbol. The measurement range is indicated by a set of numbers in the meter’s Ohms section (200, 2k, 20k, 200k, 2m, and 200m). To acquire the most accurate measurement, set the meter to the 20k ohm range because that is the typical resistance of an ABS sensor.
Disconnect The ABS Cable and then Place Probes On ABS Terminals
To expose the terminals for the test, you now detach the anti-lock braking system from its sensor cable. Now, you simply and delicately separate the wire harnesses from where they are connected and shift your focus to the wheel side harness. You can put your meter probes on any of the terminals for the sensor because polarity is irrelevant for measuring Ohms.
You now look at the meter’s reading. 800 to 2000 Ohms is the standard range for ABS sensors. However, you choose the appropriate specifications based on the sensor model for your car to assess whether or not you are receiving the correct value.
If the sensor is in good condition, the meter will display a steady value between 0.8 and 2.0 when set to the 20k Ohms range. The sensor has to be replaced if the value is outside of this range or fluctuates. If you also get a “O.L” or “1” reading, the sensor needs to be replaced because its wire harness has a short, a break, or too much resistance.

How to replace an ABS sensor
With a few tools, you can easily replace the ABS wheel speed sensor on your own. This can be a task worth taking on in your garage if you have some basic mechanical expertise. You’ll need Jack and jack stands, ratchet and socket set, wheel chocks, repair manual or access to a repair database, torque wrench and safety glasses to perform the task.
Well, here’s a process to guide on how to replace the sensor:
Removing the ABS sensor
- Put on the safety glasses.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Use a jack and jack stands to safely lift and support the car. Lock the rear wheels and engage the parking brake.
- From the ABS sensor harness, disconnect the electrical connector.
- Use a ratchet to remove the ABS sensor retaining bolt. You should also take out any bolts that are holding the wiring harness for the sensor in place.
- Now remove the vehicle’s ABS sensor.
Fitting the replacement ABS sensor
- To confirm that both have the same design, compare the new and old ABS sensors.
- Fit the replacement ABS sensor in.
- Reinstall the ABS sensor retaining bolt and any other fasteners that hold the wiring harness in place.
- Tighten all fasteners in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications using a torque wrench.
- Reconnect the electrical connector for the ABS sensor.
- Lower the car while maintaining the jack stands in place.
- Reconnect the negative battery cable.
- Clear any associated diagnostic trouble codes using a scan tool or code reader (DTCs).

ABS sensor replacement cost
Depending on the vehicle you drive, replacing an ABS sensor can cost anywhere between $100 and $150, plus an additional $100 to $300 for labor. Luxury car ABS wheel speed sensors can frequently cost more, and some models can be more difficult to service, which increases labor costs.

What happens if the ABS sensor is faulty?
The ABS Light turning on, reduced stopping distances, and impaired stability in icy or rainy conditions are common symptoms.
What is an ABS sensor?
An ABS sensor is a wheel speed sensor that aids in determining when to activate the ABS system in your car. The ABS system is intended to activate during emergency braking maneuvers to assist in preventing wheel locking. As a result, you can keep control of your car and prevent collisions.
Can I drive with ABS sensor light on?
As regular braking is unaffected by the ABS light, you can continue to drive the vehicle while it is illuminated. However, since your ABS system aids in stopping control and driving without it can be risky, we wouldn’t advise you to do this.
Can you drive with a broken ABS sensor?
It is not advised to drive the vehicle if both the ABS and brake warning lights are illuminated since both brake monitoring systems are having problems and require quick attention. At this stage, we advise against driving the car and instead suggest towing it to a mechanic.
How do I know if my ABS sensor has gone?
Measuring the resistance between the signal and ground leads on a passive ABS sensor typically produces a result between 800 and 2000 ohms. A reliable sensor is one that consistently reads within this range. The sensor is broken if the resistance on the meter is constantly varying or rising.
How do I know if my ABS sensor is working?
With a car jack, raise the vehicle, disconnect the sensor cable from the ABS, switch the multimeter to the 20k Ohms range, and attach the probes to the sensor terminals. If the ABS is in good shape, the proper reading should range between 800 and 2000 Ohms.
What causes an ABS sensor to come on?
This light normally illuminates for one of four reasons: either the ABS module is broken, the fluid reservoir is low on fluid, the wheel speed sensors are damaged, or the system is off. In fact, the traction control system in your car and the ABS have certain crucial parts in common.
Can ABS sensors be repaired?
If one ABS sensor needs to be fixed, it will likely be the ABS sensor wire. You must solder the damaged wire on the ABS sensor in order to complete the repair. The ABS sensor wire may occasionally, nonetheless, be beyond repair, in which case a complete replacement will be required.
That is all for this article, where we get to discuss the definition, function, diagram, working, location, symptoms, testing, and how to replace an ABS sensor. We also took a look at the replacement cost of an ABS sensor.
