Auckland Transport (AT) is buying New Zealand's first hydrogen fuel cell bus – and it will be built right here in New Zealand.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says, "Transport emissions account for 47 per cent of Auckland's total carbon emissions, so it's critical that we transition to a clean transport system as quickly as possible."
"This trial of hydrogen-powered buses is another important step towards reducing carbon emissions in Auckland, so we can hold climate heating to the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees."
Darek Koper, AT's Bus Services Manager says the organisation is keen to learn more about the possibilities of hydrogen power for Auckland's bus fleet. "We are committed to a low emission future, and hydrogen could be one of the best ways to deliver it as it has the potential to address the range anxiety associated with batteries on long and high frequency bus routes."
"We are also delighted that the first bus will be built in New Zealand. Having the first bus developed and built locally is an important step in creating new hydrogen industry in New Zealand."
Auckland Transport will trial hydrogen fuel cell buses in partnership with bus operators and Ports of Auckland, who are building a hydrogen production and refuelling facility at their Waitematā port, another first for Auckland.

The first bus will be built by Global Bus Ventures (GBV), located in Christchurch. It will be 13.5m long with three-axles and provide capacity for up to 78 passengers.
GBV Executive Vice President Mike Parker says GBV is excited about the opportunity to support Auckland's transition to a low emission fleet. "AT's decision to select GBV for the first hydrogen bus project is an important step in growing high tech bus manufacturing in New Zealand."
Rosie Mercer, Ports of Auckland's General Manager Sustainability says "We are pleased to be able to support Auckland Transport and contribute to Auckland's low emission goals. Hydrogen has great potential for use in heavy vehicles and this trial is a key step in bringing this technology to Auckland. We have applied for resource consent for our hydrogen production and refuelling facility and procurement is underway."
The bus is expected to start trials from September 2020.

Your Guide To Truck Air Conditioning Repairs
Repairing a vehicle can be very expensive, especially if that vehicle has some miles on it. If you own a truck, you will want to make sure provide it with the kind of care that it needs.
One thing you'll want to focus on is truck air conditioning repairs. While the average person can't perform electrical work on their vehicle, they can take steps to ensure that their truck's AC unit continues to function properly.
Watch Out For Leaks
One of the earliest signs of a problem with a truck's air conditioner is a leak. If you spot a leak, you can have your air conditioner taken care of before it stops working.
Leaks are very easy for a skilled mechanic to fix. If you notice a leak, take your car to the shop and have someone take care of the problem. You'll be able to save yourself a lot of money.
Buy A Recharge Kit
If you drive your truck frequently, you may want to invest in an air conditioner recharge kit. When your AC unit is in need of a boost, you can charge it back up and get it working again.
Recharge kits can be ordered from any auto supply shop. They aren't very expensive, and they are easy to keep in the bed of your truck or your garage. Think about ordering a kit for your truck. If your air conditioner starts having problems, this could be a quick and easy fix.
Get Repairs If They're Needed
While you can do some repair work yourself, other jobs require the hand of a trained professional. If your truck no longer has a functioning air conditioner, then you are going to have to take it to a car electrician.
Call your mechanic and explain the problem to them. Air conditioner issues are common, and most professionals know how to resolve these problems. Don't hesitate; in many cases, waiting can just make the problem worse. The sooner you get your truck fixed, the better.
Now that you know a little bit more about truck air conditioning repairs, you can decide what you want to do with your truck. Keep an eye on it and make sure you keep your air conditioner in excellent shape. When temperatures rise, you will want to make sure that you have a way to keep cool. A working air conditioner is a major asset.

Farrah Abraham Posted A Video Of Her Getting Butt Injections In Front Of Her Daughter
26-year-old Farrah Abraham is a doting mother who obviously just wants to teach 9-year-old daughter Sophia about important things. Important things like how to turn something that should be private into grist for a social media post. Hence Sophia having to record mommy getting her ass cheeks stuck full of filler. It's Farrah's "booty secret for summer!" Um, nothing about Farah's booty has been secretive for a loooonnnggg time.
Us Weekly reports that in an Instagram video posted on Friday, Farrah depicted herself butt up on the ass shaper's table getting her flanks filled with chemicals to make them bigger and able to withstand more pressure. Sadly, her poor daughter is in the background holding what looks like a smartphone while recording mommy's procedure. And from the worst angle possible! Despite Say Anything-ing that phone, Sophia is still little girl height so that angle could mean her footage is going to end up as the prologue for mommy's next cinematic anal adventure. Does she actively hate this child? Can Sophia fashion that Nascar-checkered flag jacket into some sort of SOS symbol with which to signal for help?
Farrah went into detail for her followers about the procedure but used filters to give herself a cartoon cat face and to make her voice sound like she inhaled helium. It's like she was trying to make it the most uncomfortable yet highly annoying Instagram post ever. Success!
"We're putting sculpture in there. And we are just smoothing it out, keeping it normal, keeping it natural with our regular collagen, not any extra fillers," Abraham said in a Snapchat filter that gave her a baby voice. "So this is really nice, easy, simple and it lasts for two years. I love this booty secret for summer."
It's not a booty secret if you subject everyone to it.
When Farrah got hate for the video, she said that she's giving her daughter an education on health!
"This is non-invasive just like blood work or getting shots. @FlawlessLasVegas did an amazing job and our children our curious so more power to Sophia learning about aesthetics & health."
Sophia also (supposedly) responded from her own Instagram account by writing, "This was weird. I would do squats my momma."
And she made her dogs watch, too, the torturer! As you can imagine, opinions on Farrah's latest terrible choice were mixed.
"This is the weirdest video ever…she's teaching her child that she needs to get work done to feel normal," one person wrote. "Plus her dogs are in a room where she is getting shots…cringe."
Ok, the kid was bad but the dogs are a whole 'nother story. Does anyone have the number for the ASPCA?

Oh, man.
So, remember the whole debacle over the Joker standalone movie that, rumour was, wouldn't star current DC Cinematic Joker, Jared Leto (here)?
Remember the story was that the DC movies, moving forward, may not necessarily all take place in the same universe (here) even though DC's creative advisor Geoff Johns said it would (here)?
Well, given Batman/Bruce Wayne actor Ben Affleck has once again cast doubt over his future in the role (here), we are once again considering what this all means and two new pieces of news have us forming a new theory.
So, in a new interview, Warner Bros' movie division president Toby Emmerich has said that he hopes to announce a director for The Flash movie soon, in fact he called it 'a priority'. The movie, as we already know will be based on the Flashpoint story from the comics wherein Flash alters the past and, as a result, the entire DC universe gets rewritten/reset: "In Justice League Ezra Miller's Flash, who is young, socially awkward and hides his fear through humor, is viewed at Warner as the movie's breakout character," said Emmerich.
All good to know… however, Emmerich also said this: "We don't want to limit the creativity filmmakers can bring to the table by saying these characters have to come in a particular order and all fit into the same universe."
The Wall Street Journal also quotes a source as saying that 2018 is 'reset year' at Warners/DC.
So, here's what we think… we know that the DC Universe, both in comics and on screen, is split into many, many universes; for example we have the TV universe were the Arrow-verse exists but not in the same universe as Gotham or Lucifer. These universes are set outside the movies which are set outside the many universes set within the comics and animated movies.
However, until this point we assumed that the cinematic universe was all one universe and, so far, it has been… but, drawing on a theory we reported on a long time ago (here), we suspect that the events of Flashpoint will see Affleck replaced in the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman as the universe resets… adding to this, we reckon it may also see the universe fractured in such a way that will allow the film-makers to make movies that, while many will be, don't necessarily need to connect to each other.
Remember the only DC movie scheduled for next year is Aquaman, with Batgirl, Shazam!, Suicide Squad 2, The Batman, Green Lantern Corps all set further down the line, so could they be using 2018 to get Flashpoint up and running and creating a new strategy moving forward? Yeah, we suspect so…
What say you all? Is this getting too confusing? Let us know…
Emmerich told the Wall Street Journal.
Justice League is due out in theaters November 17.

Vilis Arveds HāznersDocument Archive
We have collected declassified CIA files and diplomatic cables and have also submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in our research of the Hāzners case and the role of propaganda in U.S. authorities' mistaken pursuit of Hāzners as a war criminal.
Our research would have been impossible without the Internet. The "web" we collectively weave, however, is a two-edged sword. The case of Vilis Hāzners proves the winning narrative is the one which is repeated the most, not necessarily the one that is factual. When even someone who attended Hāzners' hearings, such as Rabbi Paul Silton, makes the accusation Hāzners got off on a technicality knowing full well that the evidence against Hāzners was ultimately not credible—including witnesses:
- claiming to have seen Hāzners when he was proven to be elsewhere,
- being mistaken in his appearance at the time[1],
- being mistaken in his rank at the time as indicated on his uniform,
- the INS introducing not one word of Hāzners' military files in their possession—we can only conclude because his documented record would have only served to exonerate him,
how and where does one even start to set the record straight?
|There was no meaningful correlation by the prosecution of photographical or witness portrayals to Hāzners' physical appearance at the time of his alleged crimes beyond suppositions of what uniform he might have been wearing.

Monday morning sprint planning. The scrum master has opened up Jira and is paging through issues. "We don't need to look at that one, that's a prior issue. That one's also prior… that's prior… prior… prior…." I draw breath and turn over in bed. A crow is calling outside, "Pra… pra… pra…."

What's on the homepage of The New York Times today? What else but a data visualization: "Unlocking the Genius of Mozart Through Data!" We've rearranged Mozart's scores to play every note he ever wrote—in pitch order. First come all the Cs. It takes an incredibly long time to get through them. Eventually we switch to C♯, which we don't expect to be quite so thick on the ground, but it's still going to be a good long while before we get to D.

In the Yogachara reading group I'm attending on Zoom, a list is passed around of the fifty-one factors of the mind. "It's a bad English translation," says the vice-abbot. The factors are divided into categories—virtuous, neutral, afflictions, secondary afflictions—and at the very end come four "Uncategorized Factors (non-karmic)." These are: drowsiness, regret, discovery, scrutiny.

With regard to that momentous point—M. Paul's fate—in case any one in future should request to be enlightened thereon—they may be told that it was designed that every reader should settle the catastrophe for himself, according to the quality of his disposition, the tender or remorseless impulse of his nature—Drowning and Matrimony are the fearful alternatives. The merciful—like Miss Mulock, Mr Williams, Lady Harriet St Clair and Mr Alexander Frazer—will of course choose the former and milder doom—drown him to put him out of pain. The cruel-hearted will on the contrary pitilessly impale him on the second horn of the dilemma—marrying him without ruth or compunction to that—person—that—that—individual— "Lucy Snowe."

Next to the church, along the woody eminence from which you can watch fireworks, five or six pines stand tall, half covered in ivy. A pair of hawks live here. They have red shoulders and tails both, and seem to be different sizes at different times, so we've been unsure about species, but lately we think they must be Buteo jamaicensis. Their wings from below have that black-rimmed white look, and they're just such tough customers. They keen like the possessed; when crows mob them, a half dozen at a time, they shrug it off. "Just another day being a hawk on Twitter," we say. There was a nest where hungry hawklets seemed likely, but it was far out of view, and being still doubtful on telling one hawk from another we're not sure if any fledged this year.

For my hungry progeny I make a burrito. The beans are gin and the rice is vermouth; you need both, but there's no mistaking which one gets top billing. Yet it's the rice that takes longer to cook. So this tends to be one of the dozen small still spots in my day: it bubbles, I putter, it bubbles, I putter.

Under the hawks we garden, or try to garden. It's tough interpretive work, sorting out the plants that want to be hot and dry from those that are simply putting up with it. But the work never stops, which must be the definition of a garden as opposed to a monument. A garden could only become a monument by chance: that is, if someone happened to notice it after it was dead.

Our city blew up last night, same as all the other cities, I'm told. The parking lot of the disused church next door gives a good vantage over our local sweep of the flats; an hour before sunset scattered rockets were already going up, but with real dark it became continuous, like an ocean striking shore and cresting everywhere in bright spray, from Point Pinole down to the Bay Bridge and Oakland container yards.

R., high on gunpowder, ran in circles in the dark, wearing the orange kimono that I bought her secondhand in Kyoto. She was bummed because the city had canceled the usual park festival where she gets painted with henna every year. So far this is her America.

"Technically," she said, "the Fourth of July is also a holiday for peace, because isn't it the end of a war?"

No, no, we said, it was the start of a war.

"Oh." We watched the explosions a while longer. 花火 (flower-fire). Fuegos artificiales.

The highway cutting up into the mountains of Fukui Prefecture brought no spring flowers, but the season's weather was still with us, blotched clouds scudding low and fast, and gray rain starting up and halting over patches of open field. The slopes, covered in close-packed, shaggy, slender conifers, were held back at the most precipitous points by retaining walls draped as square lattices against the earth's contours, like huge concrete nets.

Hence that typical sequence of the nineteenth-century novel, where the protagonist, more or less willingly, betrays his closest friends (and if this is not so for Stendhal's heroes, it is only because they do not have any friends).

—Franco Moretti, The Way of the World: the Bildungsroman in European Culture

I finished a trek through Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre and some associated criticism right around the time that, by coincidence, Ray posted some Bildung of his own; and because I'm the sort of mockingbird who makes every song about himself, all that potential and actualization, all those schemes and misfires, encounters at crossroads, deferred recognitions and disguised influences have summed up to leave me with a weird, achy nostalgia for, let's say, right around 2005.

Why then? The world can't have been much better off. I certainly had far less leverage on it. I had no presentiment of the vocational dumb luck that would end up buying me a box seat in the American theatre of cruelty; nor had I figured out how to write novels, and if I had it to do over again, making different mistakes, it would have been easy to miss that mark as well.

And yet. I was enjoying school the only way I ever enjoyed institutions, by keeping one foot on the outside, and where that other foot was planted was the 2005 internet, and without that decade's internet there would have been nothing at all. I had hit one sort of bottom a couple of years before; now I was waking up, learning to think, constantly discovering new islands, and always in such good company.

Then, bit by bit, came the darkening. And that feeling of doors closing, halls standing empty, FOR RENT signs going up in well-loved windows must be what anyone feels at the end of youth; but it can't be only an artifact of who I was then, because I know so many people who did the same things around the same time—chose career paths just as dull as mine, gave themselves to the very same normative family structure—and yet did not drop off the internet, in fact came alive on the new internet as never before. I've tried to follow, many times, but every single sally into "social" media has taken the same quick trajectory into shame and silence. The mask doesn't work; it fits the wrong parts of the face too well. Even around here, in recent years, I've become a very occasional guest in my own home.

That's Stendhal for you, arrived just in time for the end of the party. Young Julien, born too late to fight for Napoleon, is old Stendhal (about 25 years older than his protagonist), who did fight for Napoleon but still feels life has passed him by. The presiding spirits who assign Wilhelm Meister his worldly place can do nothing for Julien. But if Julien goes to the scaffold, at least he stays young, that's some rhetoric….

To go back to 2005. To try more doors, find a passage you missed the first time. The absurdly imagined Noah's Ark scene that follows, bringing everyone after you.

If I could write novels, I wouldn't write on the internet either.

Your implicit ranking of genres is flattering enough that I'm now properly embarrassed to have vaunted what I've brought to print. But that aside, what then is up with all those novelists who do write on the internet, and are good and fluent at it? J. has told me more than once that just dropping it might be preferable to all the agonizing; but I never did make a clean break, and I'm not the only one. Isn't there some vitamin still here with no other dietary source, that we can't synthesize on our own?
 atem.metameat tag:www.metameat.net,2010-10-01:Post/3361 2020-06-19T05:15:28Z 2020-06-19T05:18:45Z Mortal June

This resurrection happened at the tomb, where the various kits and jars containing the organs of the dead man where collected together beneath the funeral couch…. At some time in this period of mourning at the tomb, apparently, just as the funeral ceremony properly began, the inert soul in Amenti stirred dimly, assumed a spectre's consciousness, and began to move, Osiris-like, towards resurrection. In Joyce's book of the dead, much the same kind of feeble stirring occurs to the man "tropped head" in the night's "seemetery" just after the Wake, and his wake, begin:

So may the priest of seven worms and scalding tayboil, Papa Vestray, come never anear you as your hair grows wheater beside the Liffey that's in Heaven! Hep, hep, hurrah there! Hero! Seven times thereto we salute you! The whole bag of kits, falconplumes and jackboots incloted, is where you flung them that time. Your heart is in the system of the Shewolf and your crested head is in the tropic of Copricapron. Your feet are in the cloister of Virgo. Your olala is in the region of sahuls. And that's ashore as you were born. Your shuck tick's swell. And that there texas is tow linen. The loamsome roam to Laffayette is ended. Drop in your tracks, babe! Be not unrested! The headboddylwatcher of the chempel of Isid, Totumcalmum, saith: I know thee, metherjar, I know thee, salvation boat. For we have performed upon thee, thou abramanation, who comest ever without being invoked, whose coming is unknown, all the things… concerning thee in the matter of the work of thy tombing. Howe of the shipmen, steep wall! (26.6-24)

As always at the Wake, it is worth asking whose "eyewitness foggus" we share here: that of a body at its wake, or that of a body not awake? Every element in this passage helps to locate us at the unconscious interior of a corpse drifting darkly toward its resurrection in each of those three distinct regions of space that the Egyptians topologically equated: within the scattered ruins of its own body, within the next world, and within the world-encompassing body of Osiris….

This evocation of American idiom seems to have been Joyce's way of reinforcing the understanding that his hero, at this point in the Wake, has indeed passed into the next world, the other world, the "New World"… the Book of the Dead enables us to see how little contrivance there is in the imaginative transaction by which Joyce transforms America and comparable ends of the earth into ciphers representative of an other or "New World" like Amenti in the Wake. In the Irish experience of the last two centuries, as millions of countrymen left their loved ones and emigrated from their native earth, these places were regions into which neighbors and relatives disappeared forever. Many of Ireland's emigrants, never again seen alive by their relatives of friends, may just as well have been dead…. Many of those people left behind on their native earth—no less than those who bemoaned the passage of the scribe Ani or the steward Nu into Amenti—must have found the passage of loved ones into the New World of "Amiracles" heartbreaking—as the self-exiled Joyce would well have known.

 —John Bishop, Joyce's Book of the Dark

I said, Rev. Bliss, brothers and sisters, that they snatched us out of the loins of Africa. I said that they took us from our mammies and pappies and from our sisters and brothers. I said that they scattered us around this land …

… And we, let's count it again, brothers and sisters; let's add it up. Eyeless, tongueless, drumless, danceless, songless, hornless, soundless, sightless, dayless, nightless, wrongless, rightless, motherless, fatherless—scattered.

Yes, Rev. Bliss, they scattered us around like seed …

… Like seed …

… Like seed, that's been flung broadcast on unplowed ground …

Ho, chant it with me, my young brothers and sisters! Eyeless, tongueless, drumless, danceless, songless, hornless, soundless, sightless, wrongless, rightless, motherless, fatherless, brotherless, sisterless, powerless …

Amen! But though they took us like a great black giant that had been chopped up into little pieces and the pieces buried; though they deprived us of our heritage among strange scenes in strange weather; divided and divided and divided us again like a gambler shuffling and cutting a deck of cards; although we were ground down, smashed into little pieces, spat upon, stamped upon, cursed and buried, and our memory of Africa ground down into powder and blown on the winds of foggy forgetfulness …

… Amen, Daddy Hickman! Abused and without shoes, pounded down and ground like grains of sand on the shores of the sea …

… Amen! And God—Count it, Rev. Bliss …

… Left eyeless, earless, noseless, throatless, teethless, tongueless, handless, feetless, armless, wrongless, rightless, harmless, drumless, danceless, songless, hornless, soundless, sightless, wrongless, rightless, motherless, fatherless, sisterless, brotherless, plowless, muleless, foodless, mindless—and Godless, Rev. Hickman, did you say Godless?

… At first, Rev. Bliss, he said, his trombone entering his voice, broad, somber and noble. At first. Ah, but though divided and scattered, ground down and battered into the earth like a spike being pounded by a ten-pound sledge, we were on the ground and in the earth and the earth was red and black like the earth of Africa. And as we moldered underground we were mixed with this land. We liked it. It fitted us fine. It was in us and we were in it. And then—praise God—deep in the ground, deep in the womb of this land, we began to stir!

Praise God!

At last, Lord, at last.

Amen!

Oh the truth, Lord, it tastes so sweet!

What was it like then, Rev. Bliss? You read the scriptures, so tell us. Give us a word.

WE WERE LIKE THE VALLEY OF DRY BONES!

Amen. Like the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel's dream. Hoooh! We lay scattered in the ground for a long dry season. And the winds blew and the sun blazed down and the rains came and went and we were dead. Lord, we were dead! Except … Except …

… Except what, Rev. Hickman?

Except for one nerve left from our ear …

Listen to him!

And one nerve in the soles of our feet …

… Just watch me point it out, brothers and sisters …

Amen, Bliss, you point it out … and one nerve left from the throat …

… From our throat—right here!

… Teeth …

… From our teeth, one from all thirty-two of them …

… Tongue …

… Tongueless …

… And another nerve left from our heart…

… Yes, from our heart …

… And another left from our eyes and one from our hands and arms and legs and another from our stones …

Amen, hold it right there, Rev. Bliss …

… All stirring in the ground …

… Amen, stirring, and right there in the midst of all our death and buriedness, the voice of God spoke down the Word …

… Crying Do! I said, Do! Crying Doooo—

—these dry bones live?

He said: Son of Man … under the ground, ha! Heatless beneath the roots of plants and trees … Son of Man, do …

I said, Do …

… I said Do, Son of Man, Doooooo!—

—these dry bones live?

I am sure most people want to avoid pain and suffering at all costs. And since it can appear in so many varied forms and degrees of severity, I wonder if there is a common denominator by which we can make some sense of it.

There is a huge challenge to living the Gospel especially if we think we can manage it all on our own. Anyone who desires to walk closer with Christ and honor Him needs to admit, we just don't have the strength and discipline on our own.

Introduction: Dragon Fire - K'nex Model Roller Coaster
Many people have asked me for K'nex roller coaster building help, here I'm going to walk you through the steps I took to create a recreation of Dragon Fire at Canada's Wonderland. I'll also point out some guidance and tips I use in creating a model roller coaster.
Step 1: Planning & Preparation
You may be anxious to start snapping pieces together right away, but any project requires a bit of preparation and planning before you begin.
If you're just starting out in your roller coaster building career, I recommend starting small and getting a feel for how K'nex works. Starting small also helps gauge how big you can build with your current K'nex collection. In my opinion you'll need at least 2-3 roller coaster sets before you can really start building.
First off I needed to decide the scale, to do this I used a google maps image of the real ride, as well as reference pictures found online. If I'm not recreating a real life roller coaster, I usually draw a couple aerial view sketches to get an idea of the layout. (this idea almost always changes, but it helps to start somewhere)
Step 2: Starting Construction - Lifthill
Typically, I find starting with the lift hill a good approach. This will determine the overall height, and will help me guage how much momentum (in the train) I have to work with.
Using real life pictures of the ride, I try and recreate everything from the supports and track into the K'nex equivalent. As a guideline I like to use 7-8 track ties (the black pieces in the pictures) per flexi rod length. Using this many will help keep the track smooth.
If you're having trouble with the mechanic's of a lift hill I recommend building the lift from the Screamin' Serpent roller coaster set first.
Step 3: Construction - Loops
Again using a reference picture I began piecing together the loops, each loop took me approximately 4 hours to get it shaped to my liking.
When I'm building I like to start with a solid base, in this case it was constructed using blue rod boxes, but it can be anything really. A solid base for your roller coaster to sit on is key to keeping the track from moving around while the train is running. If you can keep the track work sturdy, this will help maintain as much speed as possible.
After the base, I tend to construct a 1-2 foot long section of loose track. I then hold this track where I would like it, and build the supports to hold it. I find this way works the best to keep the track smooth as you go.
Step 4: Construction - Turn
Pretty much just like the loops, I found a reference picture and tried to recreate it to the best of my ability.
As you can see in the third picture, I started laying out where the base was going to sit for the next elements. I kept referencing the google map aerial view in this process.
Step 5: Construction - Corkscrews & Helix
Continuing onward with the corkscrews and brake run. Sadly I had to use a chain on the brake run as I was running out of speed.
Step 6: Construction - Station
The last little bit of construction. Stations always take a while for me to build as they consist of a lot of parts.
Step 7: Motor Mounts
Since the model was going on display, I wanted a stronger motor to power the lifthill. I did a CAD drawing for a motor mount, which then got CNC cut. The motor I purchased can be found here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#6142k46/=wrpy5c
I'm very happy with the performance of this set-up. It gives me a very sturdy system that works well with standard K'nex parts.
Step 8: Final Setup
Everything was taken apart into section's and transported to be put on display.
The base of the ride was made from 7 sheets of plywood, sonotube (tubes they use to make concrete posts out of) and some green carpet. It turned out well and was super sturdy. Overall dimensions were about 30 feet long x 6 feet wide x 4 feet high.
Having the train lubricated is crucial to keep your model running smoothly. I recommend silicone spray, use a little bit on each wheel axle. I tend to re-lubricate every month or so of continuous running.
Step 9: Notes
If you are looking to build roller coasters I highly recommend this website: http://www.sscoasters.net/ There are many tutorials for certain elements with helpful members who can guide you on the construction process.
Please leave a comment if you have any questions, I will do my best to try and answer them.

Could you post more details of the track on the lift? I am trying to build it but I can't figure out how to build some supports.
I figured out the track but I'm not sure how to build the first supports after the lift.
That's just ridiculous. I love it!
Great job man!
I really like the coaster cleanliness
Nice, First prize! You deserve it, that's an amazing build. It's nice that you win a rollercoaster with the same tracks that you use for your builds!
Thanks! I'm happy I won the roller coaster as well, it's the only set out of all the prizes that i'd actually use.
WooaaaW ! Congratulations ! You are a finalist ;)
Congrats on being selected as a finalist!
There are a few Arrow roller coasters with a very similar layout.
Im left speechless...
This is absolutely amazing. I dream for the day I'll have the classic track parts. To be totally honest, I hate micro K'NEX tracks.
I'm entering in hope for at least the first prize but seeing all these other great people such as you I doubt I'll make it. I would love for that Son of Serpent rollercoaster.
Thanks! I'm not a big fan of the micro K'nex either.
Wish you the best of luck in the contest!
Thanks! You too!.
Wait, is your YouTube knexpert06?
Yep, that's me.

Okay fellow authors...get your fingertips ready on those keyboards. I've decided to hold a contest, and yes there will be a prize involved...yet to be announced. There's a bit of a challenge involved because most of my author friends are 'romance' writers. I'm trying to write outside my genre comfort area and finding it's not all that easy.
So, on May 8th, I'll provide a single sentence. Your job, should you choose to participate, will be to write a paragraph, length your choice, and incorporate said sentence into your imaginary mystery, and end with a hook.
I'll ask you to email your submissions so I can post them during the week, and I'll promo the contest and solicit readers to come and vote for their favorite. So...get ready to play. I'm thinking of something I might like to win as a gift to make this worthwhile.

It's so simple, but sometimes you forget about it. Or maybe you are shy.
Regardless the reason, you need to remember that if you like her, just tell her!
It's the best thing you can do.
And who doesn't love being liked and hearing about it? 🙂

Morocco is planning to set up a new airport, Marrakech Airport, at the cost of $520 million. This will see expansion of passenger capacity in the country to 10 million per year. This is according to Mr. Rebahrevealed, the Ministe of Equipment, Transportation and Logistics, in a July 2 meeting. The airport will be located 30 kilometers within the city.
Prospects have already been studied, in a meeting held on July 2 between local figures and the Ministry of Equipment, Transportation and Logistics and chaired by the Minister Mr. Aziz Rebbah. Possible construction areas include Sidi Zouine and Sidi Bouatmane, according to the meeting.
Increased urbanization is causing problems in development of the current city airport, and setting up of the new airport could bring a sigh of relief. Morocco targets handling a total of 14.37 million passengers per year in 2030 and, although the current city airport has been renovated and expanded to take up 9 million passengers per year, it would not be possible for it to swallow the increasing traffic.
Like the Marrakech Menara Airport, the new airport could include road infrastructure for easy access, bus and taxi termini, shopping mall, banks, hotels and administration block, among others.
The new construction will see addition of a air transport facility, in addition to the already existing, busiest in Morocco, the Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, Agadir Al Massira Airport, Ouarzazate Airport, Aroui Nador International Airport, the Rabat-Sale International Airport and Anfa Airport, among others.
Some of the companies providing flight services in Morocco are Ryanair, Air Arabia Maroc, Jet4you, Casa Air Service, RAM Cargo, Air France and Royal Air Maroc. The oldest in record is the latter, which started operations in 1957.

Thou indeed, little Swallow,
A sweet yearly comer.
Art building a hollow
New nest every summer.
And straight dost depart
Where no gazing can follow.
Past Memphis, down Nile!
Ay! but love all the while
Builds his nest in my heart,
Through the cold winter-weeks:
And as one Love takes flight.
Comes another, O Swallow,
In an egg warm and white,
And another is callow.
And the large gaping beaks
Chirp all day and all night:
And the Loves who are older
Help the young and the poor Loves,
And the young Loves grown bolder
Increase by the score Loves—
Why, what can be done?
If a noise comes from one.
Can I bear all this rout of a hundred and more Loves?
Thou indeed, little Swallow,

What Products Contain Talc?
- Casey Hamm
- September 3, 2019
- Product Damage
Talc exhibits many characteristics that have made it a popular ingredient in many types of products. Some products contain talc, and could harm users or workers who create them, including:
- Cosmetics
- Body powders
- Baby powders
- Crayons
- Ceramics
- Paint
- Insecticides
- Roofing materials
- Children's toys
- Rubber
- Paper
- Paint
- Polished rice
- Plastics
- Insecticides
- Pharmaceutical pills
- Ceramics
- Roofing materials
- Paper
- Rubber
- Chewing gum
- Supplements
Unique Characteristics of Talc
Talc is the softest of all earthly minerals, to our current knowledge. Its softness makes it particularly useful for a wide range of industrial and consumer products. Crushing the mineral into a powder form heightens the usefulness of talc, lending to various products its unique qualities of the ability to:
- Lubricate
- Resist high temperatures
- Absorb oils
- Absorb moisture
- Absorb odor
- Work as astringent
- Lubricate
Talc Use in Baby Powder
The primary ingredient in baby powder is usually talc. This is true of Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder, with the exception of bottles with the words "pure cornstarch" printed on the package.
Pediatricians urge parents to avoid using baby powder on babies, due to the heightened risk of respiratory illness, lung damage, or chronic disease. Now, with the knowledge of asbestos' connection to cancer, the hazard warning rings even more loudly.
For adults and teens who seek the benefits of applying powder to the genital area without the risks of using baby powder, doctors recommend using cornstarch as an alternative.
Talc Presence in Body Powders and Hygiene Products
According to a 1976 article in The New York Times, consumers who used several body powder and hygiene products were subjected to asbestos-contaminated talc. The article reported that Mount Sinai Hospital tested 19 body powders and found that 10 of the products exhibited from two to 20% asbestos fibers.
The following products contained eight to 20% asbestos:
- Coty Airspun Face Powder
- ZBT Baby Powder with Baby Oil
- Rosemary Talc
- Cashmere Bouquet Body Talc
- Bauer & Black Baby Talc
These products contained asbestos concentrations of less than five percent:
- Mennen Shave Talc
- English Leather After Shave Talc
- Yardley Black Label Baby Powder
- Faberge Brut Talc
- Yardley Invisible Talc
How Talc Is Used in Cosmetics
You can find talc listed as an ingredient in many cosmetic products. The substance may appear as one of the following names:
- Talc
- Talcum powder
- Cosmetic talc
- Talcum
- Magnesium silicate
Types of Cosmetics That Contain Talc
Talc is commonly used to produce and manufacture a broad range of cosmetics as an ingredient that facilitates the absorption of moisture, prevents caking, and gives a silky feel or opaque look to the makeup, where desired.
You can typically find talc in these types of cosmetics:
- Face powder
- Mascara
- Lipstick
- Foundation
- Eyeshadow
- Blush
- Children's makeup
Asbestos-Contaminated Talc in Cosmetics Sold to Girls at Claire's and Justice
When cosmetic products that were being sold to young girls at the popular Justice and Claire's stores were suspected of containing asbestos, the FDA watched intently for the results from testing by independent labs.
The agency announced the results in March 2019. The tests discovered asbestos in three cosmetics products sold by Claire's and one cosmetic product sold at Justice. The latter retailer recalled its product in 2017. The FDA requested that Claire's also recall its products, but the retailer did not fulfill this request.
The agency has reported that the following Claire's products contain asbestos and should not be purchased or used:
- Claire's Contour Palette – Batch No/Lot No: 04/17
- Claire's Compact Powder – Batch No/Lot No: 07/15
- Claire's Eye Shadows – Batch No/Lot No: 08/17
Additional Talc Products and Uses
Talc is also used in the manufacturing and production of:
- Rubber
- Insecticides
- Plastics
- Paper
- Ceramics
- Paint
- Roofing materials
The mineral's unique properties continue to promote its popularity for the purposes of providing pigment, fillers, dusting, and coating. Soapstone, talc in the form of a soft rock, is also used in the production of ornamental sculptures, bowls, sinks, and other objects that require easy carving, among the mineral's other qualities.
Zanes Law Can Represent You in Your Talc-Related Lawsuit
Consumers who have suffered illness after their exposure to talc are now filing lawsuits against the manufacturers who knew about the risks of the substance and failed to warn the public.
If you, too, have suffered exposure to talc, Zanes Law will do everything from A to Z to see that you get the compensation you deserve.

Game Type:Territory Control
Territorial Control Maps
Territory Control, aka Control Point, aka Command Point, aka Domination, is a game type where each team vies for control of a series of points found scattered throughout the map. Points can be captured by players carrying their team's flag touching the command point base. Carrying a flag may or may not slow down the player depending on the map-maker's decision. Some maps like warpath (sequential) don't even have flags -- anybody can capture points. Teams score a point every x seconds for each control point they hold. Holding a large number of points obviously builds a larger score. Teams can score a decisive advantage by capturing 100% of the control points for a sizeable points bonus. If this should occur, the map will either reset and everyone will respawn & get ready to go again, or the points will simply pass into neutral ownership, ready to be captured once more.
Variations on the Territory Control Theme
Each point is independently held and can be captured or lost by the attacking or defending team respectively.
Typical Features:
Each point must be captured in a linear fashion. To capture point three, you must have control of point two. To capture point four, you require point three and so on. Each point has a short delay after being captured before it is available for transfer into the other team's ownership (to stop points changing hands repeatedly). Capturing 100% of the points in a fraction of a second is possible by placing a friendly player on all enemy held points. Sequential Territory Control is a much more cat & mouse game, as things can change in an instant (as a team can go from holding four points to zero points in a matter of a few seconds).

Billy Graham set a record on Gallup's 'Most Admired Man' list
(RNS) — Evangelist Billy Graham has been ranked among the top 10 in the Gallup Poll's "Most Admired Man" list more times — 61 — than any other man since Gallup began the poll of Americans in 1948.
That's also more times than any woman has appeared on its "Most Admired Woman" list.
The Gallup Organization owed Graham's record-breaking appearances on the list in part to his longevity. Graham died on Wednesday (Feb. 21) at the age of 99. To make the list, you must be a living person.
Graham never held the top spot on the list, a position most often claimed by sitting presidents. He held the second spot eight times. After Graham, Ronald Reagan holds the next highest number of appearances in the top-10 list: 31.
Looking across several decades, here's how he ranked in relation to presidents and other influential leaders:
1. George W. Bush
5. Billy Graham
1. Bill Clinton

DHAKA - A young ruling party activist was beaten to death during clashes in northwestern Bangladesh Thursday as a nationwide strike called by the opposition shut schools and businesses across the country. The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party enforced the strike to protest at police firing on a rally on Wednesday, when at least two senior party officials were hit by rubber bullets in front of the BNP headquarters. It was the 12th such strike called this year by the BNP and its Islamist ally the Jamaat-e-Islami party, in protest at a controversial tribunal trying their leaders for crimes during the 1971 war.
The stoppages hit businesses, deliveries of exports and imports to and from seaports and the transport of farm products from rural areas, among other areas. In the most recent clashes, violence broke out between rival political activists from the BNP, Jamaat and the ruling Awami League in the town of Bholarhat on Thursday, local police chief Shahid Suhrawardy told AFP. "A 25-year-old young man who is a member of Awami League's youth wing died on the spot after he was beaten by BNP and Jamaat supporters," Suhrawardy said. Several people were injured in the clashes, he added. The killing raised the death toll to 84 since the first war crimes verdict was announced on January 21. Sixty-eight have died in the past week, since Jamaat's vice-president Delwar Hossain Sayedee was sentenced on February 28 to hang. Security was tight in the capital Dhaka with about 10,000 policemen on patrol. Schools and businesses were closed, while roads and inter-city motorways were largely empty.

Slope Calculator – Find the Equation of a Line
- Calculate the slope of a line that passes through 2 points
- Solve a coordinate given the slope and distance from a point
- Find the x or y of a point given another point and the slope
- Find the slope intercept form of a line.
Find the Slope Given 2 Points
Find a Point Given 1 Point, Slope, and Distance
Find a Point Given 1 Point, Slope, and an x or y Value
Points, Slope, Angle, & Distance:
|Slope (m):
|Angle (θ):
(y = mx + b)
y = 2x + 1
On this page:
How to Find Slope of a Line Given 2 Points
Slope is the angle of a line on a graph and can be found by comparing any 2 points on the line. A point is an x and y value of a cartesian coordinate on a grid. Slope, often represented as m, can be found using the following formula:
To find slope, start by finding x and y values of 2 different points along the line. x is the horizontal distance of the point from the vertical y axis and y is the vertical distance of the point from the horizontal x axis.
The slope (m) is equal to the rise over the run.
Rise is the amount of vertical increase of the line, and can be found by subtracting y1 from y2.
Run is the amount of horizontal increase of the line, and can be found by subtracting x1 from x2.
For example, for a line that passes through the points (3,2) and (7,5) the formula to find slope would look like this:
To solve:
Using Slope Intercept Form
A linear line can be expressed using the slope intercept form, which is an equation representing the line. The equation of a linear line can be expressed using the formula y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept value. Slope intercept form can be solved using the slope (m) of a line and one point on the line.
For example, given a slope of 1/2 and a point (5,4), solve for b.
Substitute for m:
Substitute the point values for x and y:
Solve for b:
Substitute b in the equation to get the slope intercept form:
Find a Point Given 1 Point, Slope, and Distance
Points on a line can be solved given the slope of the line and the distance from another point. The formulas to find x and y of the point to the right of the point are:
The formulas to find x and y of the point to the left of the point are:
How to Convert Slope to Angle
The angle of a line in degrees can be found from the inverse tangent of the slope (m).
θ = tan-1(m)
For example, if slope = 5, then the angle in degrees is tan-1(5).
Our angle unit conversion calculator can help convert the angle measurement from degrees to radians or grad.
How to Convert Angle to Slope
An angle in degrees can also be converted to a slope. Slope is equal to the tangent of the angle.
m = tan(θ)
For example, if angle = 72, then the slope is equal to tan(72).
How to Find the Distance Between 2 Points
The formula to find the distance (d) between 2 different points is:
d = √((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)
How to Solve the Delta of x and y
The delta of x and y, expressed using the symbol Δ, is simply the absolute value of the distance between the x values or y values of 2 points.
The delta of x can be solved using the formula:
Δx = x2 – x1
The delta of y can be solved using the formula:
Δy = y2 – y1

One of the best things you can hear in a testimonial from a client is, "Thank you for the quick turnaround."
You see in business when you miss a deadline it often has a financial impact.
You won't instantly find success in the world of business by just setting arbitrary deadlines for all of your projects. Your deadlines need to set you up for success—they must be strategic.
Being strategic running your own business means that your deadlines are important to help you achieve goals.
For example if you were producing a video to ask donors to give and you missed having it used on Giving Tuesday. $511M was raised on the day of giving. This is a 28% increase from 2018.
Missing that deadline means you missed an opportunity to have a good reason to reach out to your audience with an ask.
Always Quick Turnaround
It doesn't take long for one to create a great deal of content that needs to be edited. As long as you have projects that need to be edited and delivered to a client you have MAJOR RESTRICTIONS on your time.
You cannot just respond to that phone call that someone is asking you to leave tomorrow for a major project that may require you to fly around the world and work for a month.
Setting realistic deadlines doesn't always mean you are rushing the process. The largest time killer is not starting and not how long it takes to do a project.
Starting my career at a newspaper drilled into me the importance of a deadline. We have all been watching TV when they break into your normal program and give us a "Breaking News" story.
In AMBER ALERTS they know every minute is precious. Based on the history of child abductions the longer it takes to get the news out can be the difference of life and death.
Because the news organizations know these breaking news events can happen they have a plan to execute in those situations. The way to improve the quality is to increase the time. That is done through early planning.
Lightroom, PhotoShop & Adobe Premiere Skills
You take classes and practice working on images. You get better and better in not just being able to improve the product, but also improve your time doing those skills.
"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today."Benjamin Franklin
The largest problem most people face in business is time management. Keep a sharp eye on any timelines.
The largest issue in meeting deadlines is the gap in your timeline of you working on the project.
Don't Be This Photographer
Know the industry standard for turnaround times
How long should it take to get wedding photos back from photographer?Average wait time for wedding photos. Typically it can average anywhere between 2-6 weeks. Of course photographers will try and get your photos to you as soon as possible, many will send some sneak peak photos of a selection that have been edited for you to view.
Don't Be Average
- Take classes in your profession to help most of all improve your quality from Good to Great.
- Maybe use something like Loupedeck+ Photo & Video Editing Console lets you edit effectively using its intuitive buttons, dials, and sliders.
- Do personal projects – if you are only working on clients work you cannot experiment and try to techniques and ways to improve your time and quality.
- When you take on a project carve out the time to finish the project in a timely basis. Mind the Gap!
Hope these tips and reminders will help you see that getting images to your client in a timely matter helps them make more money if this is for corporate work and for things like weddings, well the link to the video tells you that story.

Everyone's memory declines with age. A number of factors lead to memory decline, but drawing is one of the most promising ways to improve memory, according to researchers. By connecting and processing information with multiple parts of the brain at once, drawing makes it easier for the mind to find its way to information when needed.
How Drawing Connects the Brain
Researchers have known for some time that writing notes by hand makes information easier to remember than writing it on a digital device. For example, students who write notes on laptops tend to copy what they're hearing verbatim, but writing by hand forces students to rephrase and consolidate information as they're writing it down. By interacting with the information, writing notes by hand creates more new connections in the brain, providing more ways back to the information when it's needed again.
Drawing to improve memory works on the same principle, but adds even more ways to represent the information. As a result, this activates different parts of the brain that would be idle when only writing. In a 2018 study, researchers from the University of Waterloo found that when people represent information in drawings, it doesn't seem to matter if the drawing is good. Instead, what matters is processing information into a visual form. Researcher Melissa Meade says in a press statement that, "We think that drawing is particularly relevant for people with dementia because it makes better use of brain regions that are still preserved, and could help people experiencing cognitive impairment with memory function."
Drawing Builds on Classic Memory Techniques
Drawing is just one way to improve memory by connecting information to other information or images. Many people use mnemonic devices, such as rhymes, to store information in multiple layers, and before the printing press made information in books widely available, people trained their memories far beyond what most modern people can do.
In fact, as mass printing became possible, the teachers of centuries ago lamented that students no longer retained information as they once did. In the ancient world of Greece and Rome, people used the "method of loci" for memorization. They visualized a place they knew well, such as a childhood home, and they then placed information into this visual memory for easy retrieval by visualizing that place again.
Drawing is just one of many ways to improve memory, and according to researchers it's one of the best, especially for people starting to feel the effects of age. Take advantage of the brain's natural connections to store information in multiple places, making it easier to find when it's needed again.
Check out our podcast Hello Creatives! on this topic: "How Drawing Fights Aging Memories & Dementia. " You can find Hello Creatives! on iTunes, iHeart Radio, Google Play, Stitcher, SoundCloud & Spotify.
Another previous study from the same researchers notes that, "people have a massive capacity for remembering the detail in images," and that drawing causes four main effects: elaboration on the information, processing of visual imagery, motor action, and the creation of a picture memory. This means that drawing brings together several brain processes at once, helping store that information in multiple places. For example, if someone needs to remember the date of a doctor's appointment and they write down the information, there won't be much way for their brain to retrieve that information if they lose the note. But if they added a little doodle of a doctor on the note, the mind can connect the date to their picture memory of the doodle, giving another pathway back to the information again.

Broncos linebacker Todd Davis joined CBS4 sports anchor Michael Spencer on Monday at the ViewHouse Centennial for Xfinity Monday Live.
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) – The Broncos are coming off their first win of the season, a 20-13 victory over the L.A. Chargers.
"It definitely felt good," said Davis after the win. "We waited so long and worked so hard for it, to finally get it it felt good."
The Broncos had arguably their best defensive performance of the season, holding the Chargers to just 35 yards rushing.
"I think it just came together. We looked really good in certain games for two quarters, yesterday was the first time we put it together for four quarters," said Davis.
Davis is hoping the 0-4 start to the season can serve as teachable moments moving forward.
"It makes you battle tested. We've been through the fire. I think we learned a lot through those games and I think it's going to help us through the end of the season."
The Broncos will host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon.

The reputation achieved after several decades of innovative agriculture has resulted in his appointment to prestigious and influential provincial and national committees; and to leadership in farm organizations.
A friend described him as "a big man, a gentleman, a very honest man". He has "strong opinions", but they are never uninformed. He is "the soul of kindness".
Mr. Cameron was farm-reared, the son of Grant Cameron and the former Margaret Cudmore, of R. R. 4, Thamesville. His elementary education at Selton School was followed by Ridgetown District High School, and graduation from Guelph Agricultural College in 1957.
His working career started at Campbell Soup Company, in Toronto, a job that involved among other responsibilities, work on a research farm, as a field man, and in the Southern U.S. in Georgia, where Campbell's tomato plants originated. He left that company in 1969 to start full-time farming in the Kent Bridge area, a moved that provided him with the chance to put to use some of the knowledge and ideas acquired at Guelph, and in his early working years.
A small herd of Aberdeen Angus was an early interest; and he developed a diversified farming operation, with, at one time, 800-900 acres in cash crops including vegetables, grains, soybeans and pasture.
Mr. Cameron soon played an influential role in many farm organizations and agencies. He is a member of the Ingreen Valley Foods, Co-operative Ltd., Chairman of the Crop Protection Advisory Committee of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and the Canadian Horticultural Council. He is also a member of the Canadian Pest Management Advisory Council, and the Canadian Horticultural Council, and is an Honourary Life Member of that group.
Mr. Cameron has served as President of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, and Vice-Chairman of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Marketing Board. He was a member of the Ontario Task Force on Health and Safety in Agriculture from 1983 to 1985; and on the Dean's Advisory Council of the Ontario Agricultural College from 1983 to 1993. Closer to home, he was a member of the Kent County Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The Camerons are members of Blessed Sacrament Church, Chatham.
Mr. Cameron is a Director of the Chatham-Kent Small Business Support Corporation; and of the Board of Governors of St. Clair College. The Chatham and District Chamber of Commerce recognized him as 1997 Agriculturist of the Year. Leisure activities include curling and golf.
Mr. Cameron married Margaret O'Brien, of Guelph, in 1958. Her family had roots in Kent County, her mother Margaret Punchard, of one prominent Kent family; her father, Jerry O'Brien, of another.
The Camerons have four children: a daughter, Sue McPhedran, Toronto; and sons Peter and Pat, of the Thamesville area; and John, of Glencoe. There are nine grandchildren: Ryne, Zachary and Anneke; Casey, Samantha and Andrea; and Rachael Cameron; and Jacqueline and Cameron McPhedran. Family members say, Mr. Cameron has been "an incredible grandfather and father, a great husband and a great son and son-in-law".
There is little doubt that Mr. Cameron, a modest man, would be embarrassed by the things people say about him. One said, "He is remarkable in so many ways, and a great source of sound advice. People respect his judgment." Friends and associates appreciate his "dry and droll sense of humour". The ultimate tribute from one of them: "He is the finest man I know."
Mr. Cameron has won the affection and respect of his friends, locally, provincially and nationally. They marvel at his accomplishments, and his ability to see a project or a program through to a successful conclusion. He has always been deeply involved in the community. As one associate said, "Ron will accomplish things while others are still discussing what to do! He gets things done. I am always glad to serve on a committee when I see Ron's name there. He is conscientious in everything he does, but always ready to listen to another opinion."

An official autopsy from the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man in Sacramento calls into question the conclusions drawn by an independent doctor hired by the man's family.
The autopsy released Tuesday by Sacramento police says 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot seven times, not eight.
A pathologist retained by the Sacramento County coroner also says the family's pathologist mistook an exit wound for an entry wound, leaving the impression that police first shot Clark from the side or back.
The county's reviewer says Clark was most likely shot as he approached police — a conclusion that's consistent with the officers' story.
The autopsy also says Clark was legally drunk and had traces of marijuana, cocaine and codeine in his system when was shot in his grandparents' backyard.
The officers were responding to a report of someone breaking car windows when the shooting occurred in March.
