Isaac Newton played with the Magnetic Power Generator idea in the late 1600s. Since then, many Scientist including Albert Einstein have looked at the concept of using Magnetic Power Generators as an alternative power source. Magnets when placed correctly show potential of an alternative power source by the positive and negative rules of attraction and repulsion. The problem has always been friction, the loss of power to friction plus the power required to generate the magnetic field resulted in more energy going in than the energy coming out.
The First Built Magnetic Power Generator:In 1977 the concept of magnets being used as an alternative power source was moved from theory into a working machine built by Bruce De Palma called the N-Machine (see photo) also known as the magnetic power generator. Generators and electric motors where starting to use modern technology of the time and becoming more efficient. In 1977 De Palma submitted detailed testing results of the N-machine magnetic power generator to the scientific world, revealing an output of 5 electrical power units requiring 1 power unit of input. Subsequent testing and duplicate models of similar magnetic power generators failed to prove or disprove De Palma results, but even so these duplicated magnetic power generators produced an output of 2 electrical power units requiring 1 power unit of input, thus proving the theory but not confirming the results.
De Palma main area of study was Natural Energy Science, not commercial business; he had proven the point that it was possible to achieve an alternative power source by building the N-Machine magnetic power generator a device that had the ability to output more energy than the required input energy to run it. De Palma carried on in many other areas of science, much of his research conflicted with known science theories which sparked a lot of raised eyebrows and criticism from his peers, but in the end, he was highly respected in the science community and passed away in 1997.
For more information on Bruce De Palma his life work follow this link.
Magnetic Power Generator - Does Really it Work?The following links to a collection of videos demonstrating the basic principle of the Magnet Generating Motion and a few simple machines that demonstrates Magnetic Power Generator or Motors (also known as Perpetual Motion Magnets) do work.
To view these videos go to this link Magnetic Power Generator Videos.
Developments in the Magnetic Power Generator:In 1991 two inventors Ludwig Brits and Victor Christie got together and started more exploration into the N-Machine see the Sky TV International News Clip). The purpose of going public was to generate funds of further Research and Development and enter the manufacture stage to sell the magnetic power generator to the general public. This backfired resulting in a lot of public criticism and attempts to discredit them both.
These critics were against Ludwig and Victor and their hair brain idea. However they conveniently over looked the facts that the magnetic power generator had already been built and proven to work by De Palma, other scientist groups and certified results from engineers. Ludwig and Victor had simply taken an old idea of the magnetic power generator and applied modern technology to make it operate more efficiently. Both men were subject to being publicly called quacks and scam artists they were also ostracized by the News Media, Research Institutes and Universities, who made it very clear any employee found to be testing the magnetic power generator would soon be unemployed. Both men and the magnetic powered generator have been investigated by the legal authorities and no charges of fraud or any other breaking of the law has ever been determined. Engineers who have viewed the magnetic power generator system before and after the public release have not withdrawn their statements and still certify the claims of the magnetic power generator output results.
The looming question is if a Magnetic Power Generator exists that produces free electricity why would anyone want to keep it a secret? We have all heard the stories of great inventions that have been quickly discredited; some are based on facts and some on fiction, regardless of this all rumors have some foundational truth. Does other life exist in the universe? Thirty years ago it was a foregone conclusion it does not, but each day the Hubble Telescope is finding new planets and this is rapidly increasing the possibility that other life forms must exist.
Follow this link to see two International Broadcast Stories on the Magnetic Power Generator N-Machine.
Critics of the Magnetic Power Generator:Back to Ludwig and Victor and the Magnetic Power Generator, having gone public criticism disputing the idea of an alternative power source from magnet power was to be expected and constructive criticism is a good thing. Human nature also works against new ideas and change, people are quick to criticize and rarely compliment and find it hard to admit when they are wrong. Unfortunately many comments posted on the internet are by people not doing any research, these are the living room scientists that tend that talk before thinking. However there are some professional people making good comments who refuted the concept using traditional rules of physics and their conclusions are correct up to a point. These comments focus on either the components of the magnetic power generator or the use of magnets as an alternative power source and not the entire system as whole. This was the same problem that De Palma had in proving that the magnetic power generator worked.
How the Magnetic Power Generator Works:The Magnetic Power Generator System uses three parts of the laws of physics and synchronizes these to operate together inside a single unit:
Perpetual Energy:Perpetual Energy is a term that does not go well with western Nations; most people have been programmed that no such thing can be obtained. Nothing in life is free; there is a cost to everything including the Perpetual Energy Magnetic Power Generator. It still costs money and Carbon Dioxide gases to produce the materials making the magnetic power generator. The real value is in efficiency, if our homes where located on top of a gas deposit we would simply tap into it and run our home and car from that source, our home and daily life would still exhaust the volume of daily Carbon Gases but the consumption of energy would be greatly reduced. The difference and efficiency is in the delivery system, today energy is delivered from the supplier to the consumer, 95% or more of the cost of gasoline or electricity is in the delivering process to the home or service station, not to mention groceries and everything else that a home purchases. The magnetic power generator removes the delivery chain by placing an alternative power source in the home; efficiency.
To View Other "Perpetual Machines" follow this link.
Is the Magnetic Power Generator and N-Machine a Perpetual Energy device? It depends on how you define Perpetual Energy, the broad term is more energy produced to the amount consumed but today science is still trying to define this. In the big picture the Magnetic Power Generator certainly is efficient by eliminating the delivery chain of an energy supply and . How you define Perpetual Energy is up to you to decide. it uses Direct Current (DC) input electricity to an amplified output Alternating Current (AC).
New Science Developments:Science does change; Fractal-Based-Mathematics turned the world of mathematics upside down. Stephen Hawking the theory of Quantum Gravity. Albert Einstein the Theory of Light and Cracking the Atom. All were considered to be eccentric scientists by their peers, but today are considered genius in their field. Are Ludwig and Victor the same? No their magnetic power generator comes from Bruce De Palma who will perhaps one day be recognized for his life-long work.
Is the Magnetic Power Generator worth pursuing? De Palma N-Machine test results were 1 unit of power input to 5 units of power output. The small Magnetic Generator of today test results are 1 unit of power input to 2.3 units of power output. In summary it does consume 1 energy unit and returns 2.3 energy units.
Open minds try new ideas and discover new things, closed minds follow the herd of sheep. For the same price as a $50.00 evening dinner in a restaurant you can purchase the Magnetic Power Generator before it begins selling or leasing to the general public.

July 2014 what looks good/bad/awful in your garden?
Happy July, everyone!
I know the next two months are our version of "winter" with often unpleasant temps (I love heat though) and people hiding indoors and less activity in the garden. Buuuuut, there's still plenty to enjoy, especially if you get up and out early. What's looking good, or bad, or awful in your garden?
Here are a couple of things looking pretty good for me right now. What about you?
'Old Fashioned Climbing' petunia, one of the few varieties that survives our blast furnace summers. They smell great at night and in the morning, and self sow nicely around the garden in white, light pink and light purple:
'Ruby Red' grapefruit fruit dangling from a young tree. Makes me look forward to chilly winter nights that will cause them to ripen and color up:
Arizona poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla) looking good all over the garden. Nice short lived perennials here. Make sure you want them before you let them go in your garden as they self sow aggressively! So pretty though. I love them.
A random shot of one of many plant stands on my covered patio. Lots of great fun stuff on all of them.
Okay, your turn. Keep us posted, pics or not.
Happy gardening!
I've been growing that Old Fashioned Climbing petunias mix for fifteen years now and love it! They're tall and gangly but so pretty and SO durable. Plus they self sow nicely.
I got the original seed from the fabulous Select Seeds company (they do plants and seeds). Great stuff! They sell plants in spring too, although at this time of year I'd do seeds sprinkled anyplace that gets regular water.
Here's a pic of a white flowered one in the garden too. They all have that distinctive veining right at the center of the throat. They all smell so great at night and in the morning. Truly (short lived) perennials for me.
Happy gardening!
Here is a link that might be useful: Select Seeds main page--click SHOP NOW, lol
Beautiful petunias! I'll have to look into that variety. Thank you for sharing.
Looking good in my yard are my herbs:
Lemon verbena
Oregano (Italian and Mexican)
English and French Lavender
All are in containers on my patio, getting morning sun.
My aloe vera that gets morning sun also looks good while those that get full sun are brown (but will green back up in winter). My trailing lantana and bouganvillea are looking good too.
Not looking so good:
Bee Balm - I think it just got too much sun
Spaghetti Squash - not sure if I planted too early or what, but I think I'll re-sow them this weekend (this is my first time growing spaghetti squash)
Poblano peppers are not happy for some reason
And my citrus trees are feeling the heat and I've significantly upped their watering this week.
I mainly grow herbs and veggies so mostly everything is either fried or looking ragged.
The good list is short:
*Basils and catnip are doing great
*Roma tomatos in pots are green and lush but not fruiting
*Armenian cukes are hanging on but I'd really put them in the medium list if I had one
*Believe it or not, several of my Swiss chard plants continue to grow - albeit very slowly. Two of them actually sprouted pups.
The bad list:
*My giant zucchini was holding on until last night's storm. I watered it this morning to see if it will rebound but its really on its last legs.
*The rambling yellow squash that had to be fenced off is now fried. It flowered but didn't produce a whole lot of fruit. I'll go with a different variety next year.
I'm giving myself bonus points on the squash because I had ZERO squash bugs this year. Turns out catnip seriously is a deterrent.
And, I'm giving myself double bonus points for a colony of native lady bugs that have migrated to three of four beds and appear to be flourishing in the dead plants.
What never took:
*Container corn sprouted but never got taller than about 8 inches.
*I planted jicama from seed (twice) and only two ever germinated.
*I had horrible luck planting any kind of beans from seed and only 2 soy beans sprouted but then they died.
I'm already planning my fall garden :-)
My tif lawn is looking excellent this year- thick and smooth as a carpet. Since most of you are lawn-haters, I won't post a picture to inflame you :) Problem is, I have to cut it every other day (electric mower/ green friendly.)
I've been experimenting with different fertilizer/nutrient supplements in my irrigation water for potted plants this summer. I'm currently in an experiment that is showing promise. I'll let you know my particulars later...
Morning weather has been very nice, have cleared out two overgrown bunny cactus beds, and one aloe bed. In their place, Petite Pink dwarf oleander, a Vitex tree, green Hopseed, African Iris and a NOID bougainvillea with very pretty fuschia blooms.
This post looked very plain and uninteresting before, so I added the sign, along with a blue pot of Raspberry Ice bougainvillea.
Here's a picture of my Blue Dawn vine taking over the lath house and nearby citrus tree. I actually paid money for this weed - at a Master Gardeners sale - labeled as a Yuca Vine. I will never buy anything from those guys again.
Oops. Tells me my picture is too large, and I don't see anything here to adjust it, nor on my side.
Hah! Love all of the fun new updates and pics--several made me laugh out loud, hah!
Harold, I don't see your pic on your post, can you re-try? I'm very VERY curious to see what plant you ended up with. I'm sure others are too. If you can't upload it, feel free to email it to me and I will (firstname.lastname@example.com). We want to seeeeee!
Nice upgrade to your column, Dusti. Raspberry Ice is my very favorite bougie too. It outperforms all others for me, and stays nice and compact. Love it! Nice talavera sign too. Charming.
All of the other pics are great too. We've got so many great gardeners here, it's so fun to see and share. I think you should post your lawn, Rich, lawn-haters can suck a lemon, LOL. I'm not a fan, since I'm lazy, but I love the look and hey, it's your garden so do what you want that's legal, right?
I've been out of town visiting family since Thursday so I missed whatever storm came through (and my neighbors don't pay attention so they've been of ZERO use when I've asked them, "Hey, how was the weather while I was away?", lol. Did folks get rain? Wind? I see some of my pots tipped over, but nothing major going on (N. Scottsdale), what about you??
It's always challenging for me to travel in summer, and this is the third trip I've had so far, ugh. Only my citrus trees, one small raised bed, and two potted citrus get automatic irrigation. Everything else is on its own, hah. I fill bowls with water and put pots in them and tell them good luck. No wonder I cut down on fluffy stuff in summer. Even so, the vincas, hollyhock seedlings, Amorphophallus, sweet potatoes, and ruellias all look good after several days in dishes of water. Always a relief!
Here are a couple of plants looking good without automatic irrigation: Oenothera biennis, a common weed in many places, looking so good. I've let it self sow all over the garden and love it. Rosettes of foliage the first summer, and then flowers each summer afterwards. It blooms nonstop from June through early November. What's not to love?
A fun VERY vigorous nightshade of some sort, purchased from Shady Way Nursery back in 2002 or so. It has spread all over the garden and blooms pretty much 10 months a year, and again, no automatic irrigation required (oh sure, I slop water on it by hand twice a week when it's hot, but if I head out of town, it's on its own and it does fine--I don't even think about it). It easily grows to 5, 6 or 7 feet. If I could keep only one leafy plant in my entire garden (besides an citrus) this would be it.
Plus a no-name plumeria that I purchased as a very small rooted plant at the Maui airport last visit. It's quadrupled in size (although it's still small, LOL) and is making some nice, simple little blooms. Since you can buy and root woody plumeria cuttings that sit around for months before being rooted (and I've done that a ton too, oink oink oink), there's no need to worry about these puppies when I'm away for a few days either. I'm all about keeping the I'm-worried-about-the-garden-while-I'm-away stress to a minimum!
Keep the updates coming, pics or not. I'm up to my eyes in basil, so need to get busy with that!
Happy gardening!
Here is a link that might be useful: Pics from my garden, July 2014
Wow, I love all of the new pics, so fun to see! Thanks for the ID suggestion on my no-name plumeria, Lynne, I think you're totally right that mine is Singapore Pink. Thanks!
My garden got 1.2 inches of rain on Tuesday and the humidity is just stifling these days, hah. Good thing I get up very very early to enjoy the garden. Afternoon are just gross, but the humidity definitely helps the garden (and all of my ocotillos are suddenly leafing out too, always fun).
Here are a few things looking good in my little garden this weekend. Keep the pics and updates coming all.
Rhipsalis baccifera that I started from seed several years ago. It's done great outside all the time in morning sun. Wilson the tennis ball tucked in to show size.
The variegated form of "sea hibiscus", Hibiscus tiliaceus, on the east side of the house. It's a bit of a gamble here, but it's done great for four years now. Tennis ball again for size.
A fun colorful talavera hen shaped pot filled with vincas. These did great while I was away for four days last week without a drop of water. I just gave them a big soak and moved them to shade. Now they're happy back in their usual sunny spot.
A fun no-ID Huernia that I've had for ten years or so, on the east side of the house.
Happy gardening all!
Happy gardening!

Amazing pics, everyone! Grant, your garden is perfect 12 months out of the year, always such fun to see. Glad you like the talavera sign, a good example of where most of my discretionary income goes, lol. Speaking of talavera, love the hen and vinca combo, along with that incredible nightshade.
The plumeria are beautiful, makes me want to add a Singapore Pink and Xquisite to the collection. Just waiting to see the first bloom on the first plumeria I've rooted, it's super easy to do in this heat!
Here is one of the Datura, this is my first year growing them, they are pretty, but super thirsty!
Beautiful datura, Dusti, and very nice looking young citrus fruit. Looks like a nice crop!
I WISH my garden looked perfect 12 months a year, Dusti, lol, it's crowded, it's cramped, and I tend to plant things where they're happiest over where they'll look best, but thanks for the nice words, I really appreciate them. And I love your pics and everyone else's too. I learn so much from our little forum here!
Just for fun, here are some cacti in bloom. So easy, and so vibrant!
A fun bright pink Echinopsis plant in the front garden. Most echinopsis plants want afternoon shade or dappled light, but this one that I bought without a label several years ago, just thrives in absolutely full hot sun. Not a lick of shade from early spring through very late autumn. Not a lick! Love it as it blooms off and on during the warm months.
Good old Harrisia jusbertii which I've posted many times before. Fun, lanky, almost-climbing sprawling plants (stems the thickness of a nice cucumber, LOL) that blooms in spring, summer and autumn. The flowers are large, and beautiful, but no need to plant them where you can smell them as they smell like rubber gloves, or plastic inflatable pool toy left in the hot sun, hah!
A gorgeous bright red Trichocereus also in the front garden (in general Trichos can handle much more sun than Echinopsis can):
A goofy 'Los Angeles' Echinopsis bloom popping up right between one of my Stapelia seedlings (left) and a Polaska chichipe cactus on the right.
Happy, muggy, gardening all!
Here is a link that might be useful: Pics from my little garden, July 2014
Grant, I love all them cactus flowers...did not even know that they bloom in July. Also that sea hibiscus looks great, where did you get it?
That Pineapple Guava flowers look amazing...going to do some research on it. How big does it get?
Dusti, Datura looks great, I just got two small starter plants this year and they grow really fast...no flowers yet.
So far I did not loose to many plants, one rose that was moved and we forgot about it (got no water for a while), one small vinca ( I have no idea why, but it turned yellow and died) the other ones we have are looking good.
My plumerias keep on blooming, I am still amazed at their flowers.
Here is Supernova:
And Jenny:
Also some my cacti bloomed this month:
Echinopsis-Gates Yellow
Gymnocalycium baldianum - Chin Cactus
Gymnocalycium ragonesei
Probably too many pictures, and a long post...sorry.
I enjoy looking at everyone's plants, specially during the hot months.
Here are a few of mine. Thank you for looking.
This is a Aji Dulce a pepper I started from seeds that I received from Puerto Rico. It has done very well during the heat. I hope it continues to do good and one day harvest peppers from it.
Plumeria frangipani. Thanks for looking.
Hi! KevininPHX you just saved my plant!! This was a gift, I did not know it could not take the high temps so I placed it outside. It has been outside for the past month under the covered patio so it gets no direct sun. I took a close look at it; it looks good, not soft and not dropping any leaves (So far). I thought I only needed to protect it from frost. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, it is a big plant I don't have a place to put it. Ugrr
I think so long as the nights cool down accordingly then jades do OKAY - the problem is that during this time of summer the nights may stay above the low-mid 80s and I don't think that's enough cool down at night for these plants . . .
I don't know for sure though, just that my jade attempts outdoors here do NO good!
Hi all, sorry for the late reply, I was away in Santa Fe, NM for a week. Love that town!
Great new pics and updates, thanks so much for sharing them all. I too am amazed that you keep that jade happy outside! I have to keep them cowering indoors in summer, LOL.
Neat caper pic, Jon, what conditions do you give it and how long have you had it outside? I only recently saw them in a greenhouse a few weeks ago at the terrific Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. Neat!
Awesome cacti pics too, Mike. You're obviously doing something right. Awesome pics and great blooms. Love love love!
Mswillis, your veggie garden looks so happy and productive. I'm envious! Thanks for posting it and keep us updated!
Not fancy, but here's my own-root variegated, contorted Euphorbia lactea outside on the patio, in a "wash pot" or "bean pot". I've become addicted to these pots as they're really hard to tip over.
Happy gardening all!
The Caper plant is finally starting to grow, it seems to love the heat. It's planted in native soil in full sun from about 9:00 to 4:00. It gets watered every three days by drip irrigation now.
I got it in a "one gallon" nursery pot last fall from Shady Way and put it in the ground immediately. I've almost killed it twice by giving it too much water in the winter and not enough once it started getting hot.
This is my third summer gardening in my Tempe home. Things are doing much better than my first year here with the super steep learning curve...
Thanks to everyone here and many other gardening forums help, my black thumb has turn to a nice shade of green. :-)
Now I just need to save enough money to purchase more fruit trees and perennials to make my food forest dream come true!
Here're some photos from my Epic Yard Farm.
My first ever harvest of moringa seeds. I have four moringa trees growing like crazy. Direct sown July last year. They are around 12' - 15' tall.
Part of my front yard. From left, I have roselle, sunflower, moringa, more roselle and moringa on the right. Bottom/front, I have blackberry (need to trellis them up the circular structure), fig, eggplant and rosemary.
Mango and banana in the tropical section. I pulled the purslane lookalike weed, even though they act like a good green mulch to keep the soil cool...
GREAT info about your caper plant, Jon, thanks for sharing how your'e keeping it happy and where you got it. I'm surprised it tolerates our low humidity, but yours sure looks happy!
AWESOME garden and pics, jacqdavis! I love me some drumstick tree, hah. Everything in yours looks fun. I love seeing diverse, productive front gardens especially. Thanks for the pics and information!
Okay, on to our August theme, hah!
Happy gardening!

Smithsonian and Singapore Organize World Tour of Shipwreck Treasure
The Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the Singapore Tourism Board and the National Heritage Board of Singapore today announced a partnership to organize the first exhibition and international tour of one of the oldest and most important marine archaeological finds of the late 20th century.
The exhibition will focus on the 1998 discovery of a ninth-century shipwreck and its astonishing cargo of about 60,000 objects from Tang dynasty China, ranging from mass-produced ceramics to rare and extraordinary items of finely worked gold. The cargo had laid undisturbed on the ocean floor for more than 1,100 years until sea-cucumber divers discovered it off the coast of Indonesia's Belitung Island. The ship, an Arab dhow, and its contents confirm the existence of a direct maritime trade route (alluded to in ancient Chinese and Arabic texts) from China to the Persian Gulf and beyond-well before the Portuguese set sail in the 15th century.
The discovery offers scholars and scientists an unprecedented time capsule of knowledge about the period and a wealth of unanswered questions that will fuel research for decades to come.
The grand opening of the exhibition will take place in Singapore in late 2010 or early 2011. The Sackler Gallery will host the U.S. premiere in spring 2012, coinciding with the museum's 25th anniversary celebration. The exhibition is expected to travel for about five years to major museums in Asia, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Singapore on this historic project," said Julian Raby, director of the Freer and Sackler galleries. "The exhibition and tour will enable people around the world to connect with these extraordinary artifacts and feel the impact of a remarkable story that forever changes our view of ancient global trade. Singapore has acted with great understanding and forethought by protecting and preserving these objects collectively as a world treasure and for generously presenting them to the public in the form of an international traveling exhibition."
The cargo, known as the "Tang Shipwreck Treasure: Singapore's Maritime Collection," was purchased with the support of the estate of Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat shortly after its discovery but has never been publically displayed on a large scale. In the years following their recovery from the sea the objects have remained in private storage, where they have been studied and carefully restored.
"The 'Tang Shipwreck Treasure' has a special meaning for Singapore," said Aw Kah Peng, chief executive of the Singapore Tourism Board. "Its compelling story resonates with Singapore's growth into a premier port and trading hub. Situated at the crossroads of the East and West, Singapore has always benefitted from the cultural exchange created through trade among the Chinese, Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian civilizations, and maintains the same cosmopolitan outlook today. We are particularly honored to join with the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler galleries to develop this important exhibition."
The cargo will provide the focal point for an exhibition of dramatic scope, illustrating the dynamic interchange of ninth-century geopolitical powerhouses along the maritime silk route from Changan (modern Xian) to Baghdad, as well as the human stories of those who toiled in China's factory-like kilns and the ship's crew, whose few surviving belongings provide clues to their multi-ethnic identities.
The exhibition will reflect the range and size of the find and its significance, as the largest consignment of Tang Dynasty export goods ever discovered: lead ingots, bronze mirrors, spice-filled jars, thousands of glazed bowls, ewers and other fine ceramics, including some of the oldest cobalt-blue-and-white ceramics made in China. Among the anticipated highlights of the exhibition is a small cache of spectacular, intricately worked vessels of silver and gold, unparalleled in quality and design. Why they were carried by the ship and who was destined to receive them are among many questions provoked by the find.
"The extraordinary story of the cargo-a testament of cultural exchanges and interactions in Asia via the Maritime Silk Route-resonates with our work to promote understanding of the rich cultures that make up Singapore's multi-ethnic society," said Michael Koh, chief executive of the National Heritage Board. "Through our partnership with the Freer and Sackler galleries, this remarkable story can now be presented to a wider audience, both locally and internationally."
Often referred to as the Belitung Shipwreck, in reference to the nearby Indonesian island, the dhow, approximately 21 feet wide and 58 feet long, is the only vessel of Arab origin ever found in Southeast Asian waters. Although the goods carried by the ship originated in China, the ship is similar to a type built in the Middle East during the period and for centuries thereafter. The port of departure and destination are unknown, but scholars believe that the ship was bound for the Middle East with a full load of goods from a southern Chinese port, possibly Guangzhou. An accurate reproduction of this vessel, sewn together without the use of a single nail, has been made in Oman and was recently presented by the Sultanate of Oman to the government and people of Singapore. Named The Jewel of Muscat, the vessel sailed from Muscat Feb. 16 and docked in Singapore July 3.

When you crit with plasma the DoT becomes a crit as well so will match the same damage as a quantum crit. Plus a Plasma Crit on a shielded target is very large damage compared to very little for a quantum crit on shields.The reason I find Plasma better is they do massive damage while shields are up compared to almost no damage for quantum. By the time shields go down Plasma would have done more damage than a full quantum volley on an unshielded target.
I just noticed another possible change in High Yield if the target dies the torp finds a new target instead of fading away. I still don't like High yield but cannot find Torp spread III yet.

As everyone says, "Thierrry is great".
Fun to talk to and a big help on great places to go.
The apartment is sort of funky - it could use a biger TV- but is very comfortable.
The water gets hot and is safe to drink, and the bed is very OK, th egungle is right outside the front door. what else do you need.
Thanks Thierry for a great place to stay. If we come back to C.R. we'll stay with you again.
Thierry is one of the best Airbnb Host , I've ever met ! Very friendly, communicative , informative and very helpful :)
Appartment is fantastic, we really enjoyed our time there and funny animals watched from balcony perspective :)
A great experience near a jungle .
I can absolutely recommend it to anyone !
Thierry was a wonderful host, and his place was lovely and just as described. Right from our balcony we saw lots of monkeys, exotic frogs and cute lizards scampering about! The apartment was very clean and didn't smell at all musty despite the jungle setting, and the location was great, as people have mentioned. One comment is that if your absolute priority is being at the beach 24/7, it's about a half hour from here. All in all it was a great experience--recommended!
We loved our stay in this beautiful jungle apartment. Location was perfect, offering privacy & quiet yet a quick taxi( collective $1.) to Quepos & 315colones to beach. We did not have a car & found it perfectly convenient. From our lovely balcony overlooking the jungle we saw & heard monkeys, poison dart frogs & many birds. Kitchen generally well equipped , we cooked most of our meals in. Would recommend this apartment if visiting the area...nice to be removed from the hustle of Manual Antonio. Thierry was a terrific host in every way, meeting us at the bus station, providing lots of good info on the area, very responsive & dropped us off at bus station when we left. Can't say enough about how helpful Thierry was!
Wow! Simply perfect! Thierry was the best host. He was very friendly and he take the time to tell us how the bus system works and where to eat. His place was beautiful , clean and very confortable. Only 20 minutes walk to downtown Quepos and to the bus station to get to Manuel Antonio. It was really easy to get to Manuel Antonio in bus, about 10 minutes. The national park was defenitly a place to see, we saw a lot of monkeys. We haven't take the guide tour. The beaches there are AMAZING!! We ate Casado in one of the many Soda and it was cheap and delicious. When were going back to Costa Rica, we will definitly go back to Thierry's place!! Thanks we had the best time :)
Thierry's place was wonderful. My girlfriend and I spent the first three nights of our Costa Rica trip here and it was a great experience and introduction to the country. The listing and pictures are very accurate - it's a beautiful apartment in the jungle. We saw a large group of monkeys our second morning which was amazing - you see them best when you get up early in the morning. There are great hiking trails on the property, it's less than 5 minute drive into downtown Quepos (or walkable) and very close to Manuel Antonio. The apartment is very comfortable and great to come back to after a long day exploring. We definitely recommend it and plan on staying again in the future.
Thierry is a great host and a super nice guy, he gave us recommendations of places to see and eat in the area and went out of his way to help answer our questions. He also gave us the most delicious pineapple we have ever had and a great local fruit juice.
Thierry was very welcoming, first by picking us up at the Quepos bus depot, then giving us a tour of the apartment. He even gave us recommendations about good places to eat in the city (suggestions we visited a lot). The apartment was beautiful, clean and well maintained. The location was absolutely AMAZING! We were able to see lots of wildlife from the deck, hike nearby trails and access Quepos with total ease. We highly recommend Thierry!!!

Dixie Lee Drive-In
110 S. Watt Road,
1 person favorited this theater
Listed in the 1955 edition of Theatre Catalog as being located at Dixie Lee Junction in Lenoir City. When I first moved to Knoxville in 1972, the Dixie Lee Drive-In was open, and showing X-rated movies. I believe it closed soon after that, but the sign and screen remained for a period of time. It was located on Kingston Pike in far western Knox County on the left side of the highway if you are driving away from Knoxville.
I believe there was also a small community called Dixie Lee surrounding it. It looked as though it had been built in the 1940's or 1950's.
Recent comments (view all 13 comments)
The Dixie-Lee was considered a Knoxville theatre.Sept 19 1967 showing on that outdoor screen was Barbara Steele in "THE HORRIBLE DR. HICHCOCK". and second feature on the "FESTIVAL OF FEAR" was "THE AWFUL DR.ORLOF". This was playing day and date with the RIVER BREEZE Drive-in.
I did not know Tennessee had so many drive-ins at one time.
Tlsloews you guys and North Carolina have alot of Drive-ins and I have seen alot in East Tenn.
O.K. Mike.
It truly is amazing the screens you see from the past covered in moss in many rural towns like the Midway or Newport Drive-in. I have traveled that area even before the interstates as a kid and I remember Drive-ins almost carved into Mountains. Moonshine and drive-ins.
Dixie Lee Drive-in continued to show mostly soft X-rated movies with an occasional hard X as a special late feature on into the early 1980's.
Thanks Nimrod,like up dates from K-town.
Added Goggle Earth view from 1991.
The address for the drive-in is:
110 S Watt Rd, Knoxville, TN
I posted a picture of the marquee in the photo section.
thanks a lot….

Happy Birthday Dolly Parton
Dolly is a true American rags to riches story. Many people think of her as just another dumb blonde but she is pure genius under that big wig and eye makeup
Dolly is a true American rags to riches story. Many people think of her as just another dumb blonde but she is pure genius under that big wig and eye makeup
Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer Billy Ray, offered up her loyal, respectful and soulful cover of Dolly Parton's hit 'Jolene,' penned in 1973, in her 'Backyard Sessions' series. The song was written 19 years before Cyrus was even born, but she does a terrific job with it. Did you know that Parton is Cyrus' godmother? True story!
Dolly Parton appeared on ABC's 'Nightline' to promote her new book, and set the record straight about rumors that she is gay.
Dolly Parton has such a sassy sense of humor, she's even open to whole-heartedly accepting the fact that she picked up a "trashy" costume for Halloween. Everyone's favorite country superstar played along with pushy TMZ interviewers recently as they prodded her about her purchase.
Carrie Underwood has evolved from fresh-faced college co-ed to country music fashion maven since first bursting on the scene after winning 'American Idol' in 2005. Even with the pressure of adapting to the current trends in fashion, the gorgeous superstar believes that there is one tradition that will never go out of style: big hair.
Dolly Parton is used to having many things named after her -- like her theme park, Dollywood. But now, the country music is being made into a new slot machine in partnership with International Game Technology (IGT).
We tend to associate the end of summer and the arrival of fall with going back to school or getting back to work, as the vacation season is over. But that doesn't have to be the case. The northern hemisphere contains some pretty remarkable fall destinations, perfect for weekend adventures or even weeklong getaways
Kiddie beauty shows are already controversial, what with the poofy gowns and layers of makeup, but one mom may have taken pageant-crazy to the extreme on a recent episode of the TLC series 'Toddlers & Tiaras.' In fact, Lindsay Jackson might actually lose custody of her 6-year-old daughter, Maddy, thanks in part to a Dolly Parton costume, which included padding the little girl's behind and chest to 'enhance' her lady parts to be more like the country singer's notorious bust and rear.
It's hard to believe an act who has sold more than 17 million albums and 50 million paid digital singles had yet to top the all-genre Hot 100 chart, but Taylor Swift can now include an all-encompassing No. 1 to her already impressive discography, as 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' vaults from No. 72 to No. 1 this week. The first single from 'Red' is officially the first chart-topper for Billboard's 2011 Woman of the Year.
Country Music Hall of Fame member George Jones announced that he will retire from touring after "The Grand Tour" in 2013.

I have a program that reads data from a scanner via the serial port. This program works fine on Windows XP. We have a terminal server set up running Windows Server 2008. I run HyperTerminal on our test terminal, it connects and reads the scanner data fine through COM1. I run my app on that same test terminal and get nothing when I scan.
My app connects to COM1 without errors and disconnects without errors. BUT, the DataRecieved event is NEVER getting fired. Neither is the ErrorReceived event. I have played with the Handshaking, with the RecievedBytesThreshhold and pretty much every setup setting I found. Set it up exactly like the settings on Hyperterminal. I have even tried starting a timer on a different thread to call ReadByte every second to try to KICK this thing into doing SOMETHING. Nothing has worked.
I have been trying to fix this for an entire day now. Added events to my class trying to see EVERYTHING that is going on. All I know is, it connects to the port and it disconnects from the port correctly but nothing happens in between. No data when I scan. No event fired at all between connecting to and disconnecting from the port. I'm tired of google. :-)
HELP!! Please???
PS I have also downloaded other's simple serial communications applications. Nothing in .NET works. Period. :-(

The end bit
... when I ran out of fuel going into Lukey Heights. I can't tell you what it's like to be flat out, knee on the deck...and the engine misfires and cuts! I put my hand up, got off the track and sheepishly spluttered back to the pits. Phillip Island us amazing. The ultimate. Even better than I was expecting. My new friends are a top bunch. Thanks must go to: Juz, for enthusiasm and giving me a point to aim for. ...

Other work has been helping Phil renovate the property. This was done when we had no guests during the day and when the weather allowed it. Ive painted all the cabins and main building, did some bogging, helped with the tip, collected wood, planted trees and a few other ************s.
Talking of weather, its been very good. ...
Penguins and The Prom
As during this visit I was very sick, I stayed home most of the time. Gary dragged me out one night because it was quite warm, so I rugged up and went to see the Penguin Parade. I don't know whether it was because I wasn't 100%, or because it had been hyped so much, but I was quite underwhelmed. There were only about 100 little penguins, not the "thousands" that they advertise. However you could see the "raft" of penguins out at ...

The tune-up utility suite whips your computer back into shape by defragging the hard drive, repairing Windows's problematic registry, and tweaking CPU and RAM usage in real time. With this iteration, Iolo System Mechanic includes an unexpected and welcome new feature, PowerSense, which detects your PC's activity and throttles the CPU up or down as needed. Iolo System Mechanic 14 is pricier than some of its competition (like Slimware Utilities SlimCleaner, the PCMag Editors' Choice for free tune-up utilities), but Iolo's utility comes packed with features that make it worth the price of admission. It's our Editors' Choice for paid tune-up software.

Getting Started
Iolo System Mechanic 14 is compatible with all PCs running Windows XP and higher, including Windows 8.1. Unlike most PC tune-up utilities, such as PC Tools Performance Toolkit, which limit you to three licenses, Iolo System Mechanic 14 lets you install the software on any number of computers, provided that it's not for business purposes. This is a welcome (and needed!) feature in the age of the multi-PC household. More companies should follow suit.
Iolo System Mechanic 14's interface has several options in the left pane (Dashboard, ActiveCare, Internet Security, Toolbox, Reports) that have their own individual sub-categories that let you run specific tune-up tools. What's new this time around is a second, dedicated LiveBoost Window that lets you see how Iolo System Mechanic 14 makes on-the-fly CPU and RAM usage tweaks. I'll touch on that in a bit.
The Clean-Up Process
The Overview screen opens by default when the program is launched, and it's here that the Analyze Now button lives. Clicking the arrow next to it opens a drop-down box that presents two choices: Perform Quick Analysis and Perform Deep Analysis. The former is a quick (1 to 2 minutes) scan that looks for the most common PC problems; the latter is a longer (5 to 7 minutes) scan that checks for all problems. Considering the heavy use that our test laptop had received, I went with the second option. Approximately 9 minutes later it finished the scan and uncovered numerous problems on my testbed.
Beneath the reading appeared a highlighted message: "Boost speed and stability by removing redundant programs with CRUDD Remover." CRUDD is Iolo's acronym for Commonly Redundant or Unnecessary Decelerators and Destabilizers—fancy talk for useless files that clog your PC. The idea behind the enhanced CRUDD Remover is to eliminate those extra programs as each application install theoretically slows your PC's performance a bit. After running CRUDD Remover, several problems were detected on the PC, which were explained in simple detail on the Problems screen.
What I find truly cool is that Iolo System Mechanic 14 doesn't just serve up a list of problems—it provides blurbs that explain how these problems slow performance. During testing, I checked off the listed problems, clicked the Repair All button, and performed the required reboot. Performing another deep scan revealed that the issues had been addressed.
I ran Iolo's Program Accelerator, which smartly realigns all of a program's dependent files on the hard drive. It's touted as being better than disk defragmenters, which can blindly compact and separate files even more. Program Accelerator took approximately 15 minutes to work its magic, and, when it was done, I discovered that it had realigned thousands of files and hundreds of file fragments. There are also a ton of other tools packed into the suite such as AcceleWrite (a new real-time feature that helps organize the way data is written to the PC's HDD or SSD), IntelliStatus (which displays RAM and hard drive information and serves up cleaning tools), and the new Stability Guard (a tool that stops system threats using algorithms).

MILWAUKEE — A county supervisor questioned a memo from the Fiscal and Budget Department stating that a $1.5 million error was made in the County Executive's 2014 Recommended Budget for Paratransit, according to Urban Milwaukee.
The administration's Recommended Budget proposes to reduce the fares paid by individual riders by $1. According to the memo, the cost of the fare reduction was originally estimated at $500,000, but a budget analyst "mistakenly increased the revenues instead of decreasing them.
As a result, revenues in the cash fare in the budget are higher than the amount recommended by approximately $1 million." For the full story, click here.
The Titan800 Retractor System is designed to meet the latest WC18 industry regulations, which take effect December 2015.
The Final Rule applies to public entities providing fixed route, dial-a-ride and complementary paratransit services. It establishes that an individual's disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to its service except where doing so would fundamentally alter the service.
Following unanimous approval by the SFMTA board in January, the SFMTA has worked tirelessly to meet the city's demand for this program. In just over one month, the SFMTA has processed more than 38,000 applications for the Free Muni program expansion.
The accusations stem from a human rights complaint by a rider who said a bus driver refused to lower the wheelchair ramp for her because she was using a walker and not a wheelchair. STM holds monthly meetings where they open the floor to citizens to ask questions directly to board members.

Squadron Color[1]
The 705th Tactical Airlift Training Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 924th Tactical Airlift Group at Ellington Air Force Base, Texas where it was inactivated on 30 June 1976.
World War II[edit]
Training for combat[edit]
The squadron was first activated on 1 April 1943 at Davis-Monthan Field, Arizona as the 705th Bombardment Squadron with an initial cadre drawn from the 39th Bombardment Group.[2] It was one of the original squadrons of the 446th Bombardment Group.[3][4][5] The cadre departed for Orlando AAB, Florida for training with the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics, where they flew simulated combat missions from Montbrook AAF.[2]
The unit headed for Alamogordo AAF, New Mexico in June 1943, but was diverted to Lowry Field, Colorado, where the squadron was filled out and advanced training was completed. The squadron lost one aircraft during this training.[6] The ground echelon left Lowry on 18 October 1943 for Camp Shanks, New York and embarked on the RMS Queen Mary, sailing on 27 October 1943 and arrived in Greenock on the Firth of Clyde on 2 November 1943. The aircraft left Lowry on 20 October 1943 for staging at Lincoln AAF, NE. The aircrews ferried their planes under the control of Air Transport Command via the southern route from Florida through Puerto Rico, Brazil, Senegal, and Morocco to England. The 705th was part of the first United States Army Air Forces group to complete the Transatlantic hop from Brazil to Africa without the installation of additional bomb bay fuel tanks.[7]
Combat in the European Theater[edit]
The squadron arrived at its new base at RAF Flixton in the east of England in October.[8] The 705th flew its first mission on 16 December 1943 against shipping facilities in Bremen.[9] The unit operated chiefly against strategic objectives. Its targets included U-boat installations at Kiel, the port at Bremen, a chemical plant at Ludwigshafen, ball-bearing works at Berlin, aircraft engine plants at Rostock, aircraft factories at Munich, marshalling yards at Coblenz, motor works at Ulm, and oil refineries at Hamburg.[4]
Besides strategic missions, the 705th often carried out support and air interdiction operations. It supported the Normandy invasion in June 1944 by attacking strong points, bridges, airfields, transportation, and other targets in France. The squadron aided ground forces at Caen and Saint-Lô during July by hitting bridges, gun batteries, and enemy troops. It dropped supplies to Allied troops near Nijmegen during Operation Market-Garden in September. The unit bombed marshalling yards, bridges, and road junctions during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 and January 1945. It flew low level missions to drop medical supplies, arms, and food to airborne and ground troops near Wesel during Operation Varsity in March 1945.[4][10] The 705th flew its last combat mission on 25 April, attacking a bridge near Salzburg, Austria.[4]
After V-E Day, the 705th flew transport missions to France, sometimes landing at fields that had been targets the previous year. It also flew Trolley missions, transporting support personnel for "sightseeing" trips over Germany to view the results of their efforts.[11] The squadron began to redeploy to the US in June 1945. The first aircraft of the air echelon departed the United Kingdom in mid-June 1945 flying the northern route via Iceland. The ground echelon sailed from Greenock on the Queen Mary on the sixth of July 1945 and arrived in New York on 11 July 1945. Personnel were given 30 days leave. The ground and air echelons reassembled at Sioux Falls AAF, South Dakota in late July. Its personnel were transferred to other Second Air Force units or demobilized and the squadron was inactivated on 28 August 1945.[12]
Reserve Operations[edit]
The squadron was reactivated in March 1948 at Carswell AFB near Fort Worth, Texas, along with the 446th group. The squadron conducted bombardment training as part of the Air Force Reserve, but does not appear to have been assigned any aircraft of its own during this period.[3] In June 1949 the squadron was reassigned from Continental Air Command to Strategic Air Command and became a corollary of the active duty 7th Bombardment Group, which had just converted from the Boeing B-29 Superfortressto the Convair B-36 Peacemaker. As a result of the Korean War, the 705th was called to active duty on 1 May 1951. Its personnel were reassigned to other units and the squadron was inactivated on 25 June 1951.[4]
The squadron was reactivated in May 1955 as the 705th Troop Carrier Squadron at Ellington AFB near Houston, Texas and initially equipped with Curtiss C-46 Commandos.[3][4] At Ellington it absorbed personnel from the 8706th Pilot Training Group, which was simultaneously discontinued. In 1958 the squadron upgraded to Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar aircraft . The unit trained for and flew airlift missions in 1959 it was assigned directly to the 446th Troop Carrier Wing when Continental Air Command converted its reserve unitsto the dual deputy organization, which eliminated operational and maintenance group headquarters.[13] The group's squadrons were reassigned directly to the Wing.[14] Upgraded to C-130A Hercules in 1967. It deployed to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War; unit members flew more than 120 combat missions. In 1968 the squadron became a C-130 training squadron for Air Force Reservists. Also operated a C-130 flight simulator for aircrew training. It Upgraded to the C-130B Hercules in 1972. The squadron inactivated in 1976 when Ellington ARB closed.

The Space
This condo is in the quieter and nicer part of Santa Monica, but a quick few blocks to downtown Santa Monica.
Guest Access
Guest have access to kitchen with everything, living room and CableTV, iron, hair dryer and wifi.
Interaction with Guests
I usually try to keep to myself and let the guests live how they want. I have several brochures in my house about all of Los Angeles.
The Neighborhood
Best neighborhood in Los Angeles!!! Downtown Santa Monica is only 1/2 a mile away. the beach is only 5 blocks away. Montana Ave is less then a block away. There are shops, restaurants, bars, and exercise studios all over Santa Monica.
Getting around
Renting a car is the best way to get around in Los Angeles. A taxi, Uber, and Lyft are the next best ways to get around in Los Angeles. If you want to do public transit, check this out (website hidden)_pub_start.php
Other Things to Note
I have a houseguest, so the bathroom will be shared with her.
Please lock the door when you get home and when you leave. Please turn off all lights when you arrive at night. Smoking is illegal indoors anywhere in Santa Monica. Please keep common area's clean. THANK YOU!
Such a great first time experience. Easy and accommodating, but to mention great hospitality.
My boyfriend and I loved our stay with Fallon, she kindly let us check in very early in the morning! The house is a decent but nice walking distance from the centre and located on a really nice block, it was great wandering around the area. Fallon was available for any questions we had and her food recommendations were great. We would definitely stay here again!
Die Location war wirklich super, strandnah und alles. Auch eine wirklich sehr schöne Nachbarschaft. Fallon schien wirklich nett zu sein, allerdings haben wir sie auch nicht oft gesehen. Sie war aber suf jeden Fall hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war auch wirklich schön eingerichtet. Also ich habe mich auf jeden Fall wohl gefühlt!
Fallon was just a great hostess!, from the beginning she always answered my messages very quickly and tried to fit our expectations. The place was awesome! it's just as you see it in the picture, but it´s so close to Santa Monica Blvd and to the beach that couldn't be better. Besides, it has all Montana Av. stores and restaurants just across the street. I felt very safe in the neighborhood even when I was running at 5 am. If you are looking for a time to rest and relax, this place is just perfect. You have everything in Santa Monica at a very short distance, but still is quiet enough to forget you are in LA. I had to change my reservation two weeks before my arrival and shorten my time there, and even then, Fallon was so comprehensive I was really surprised of. It was great to have Fallon as hostess. The apartment has everything you need and it's big enough to have privacy. I've slept on hundreds of beds and this one was maybe one of the best I've ever tried. I really slept well!... If you are coming to run the LA Marathon (as I did), this is the perfect place, because you can take the shuttle to Dodger Stadium (the start line) from the Civic Center, which is about 7 to 10 blocks away. The marathon's finish line is located on Santa Monica Blvd, which is 5 to 8 blocks from the condo: You can't beat that!... Finally, Fallon provided me with a parking space at the condo; that was really helpful knowing that LA can be a very difficult city without a car. She even provided us towels, shampoo, body lotion, bottles of water, wifi, for free! I certainly would come back to Fallon's place if I'm in Santa Monica again...
The Fallon's room is very good place of Santa Mônica city, only a few blocks to the sea and to third promenade street. So, we only walked and didn't need to take a bus or car. Fallon left in our room one paper with important information as such wifi password, suggestions of restaurants.
Obviously we will stay with Fallon again in another oportunity.
Fallon is a great host. The room was very clean, check-in and out was very simple and frictionless. A comfortable place to crash.
Loved this place and the host was great, very warm and welcoming. Thanks for letting me stay, I would definitely choose this location again!
This host has 8 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
I am a 32 year old woman. I work from home, so I will be in the apartment most of the time. I do not smoke. I like to cook, and you are welcome to cook in the kitchen. Please ask me anything else you like.

Staff Reporter
Media reports having both positive and negative impacts
KOCHI: The police are at a loss on how to make a clear picture of the crime situation in the city these days. The statistics available with the District Crime Records Bureau show that this month had a relatively lesser instance of crime when compared to the same period in the previous years.
Crime statistics for June month alone from 1991 to 2006 show that the average number of cases reported during the month was 20 and those recorded during June 2006 was only 16. The lowest number of cases was recorded in June 1994 (10 cases) and the highest was in June 2004 (59 cases). This includes total number of cases of dacoity, robbery and housebreaks during day and night.
At the same time, incidents of robberies and housebreaks being committed at different parts continue to be reported. This situation was having both good and bad influence of society, said K. Padmakumar, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Ernakulam Range.
"There was a spate of robberies and housebreaks within Thripunithura station limits and around 95 per cent of them have been solved and culprits have been arrested. Those were conducted by a group of criminals coming in from Tamil Nadu. On the wrong side, graphic media reports could serve as motivation of local criminals. On the positive side, they have made people more alert," he said.
The police officials are pointing out the recent housebreak at Thodupuzha as a possibility of local criminals exploiting the general scare among public. "We have initiated the process of shadowing criminals who are being released from jails," Mr. Padmakumar said.
While the city police have strengthened its drive against crime during monsoon, criminals have moved to the suburbs and rural areas. To counter this, the police are planning new strategies. "We will be mapping the crime scene and pooling in resources at sub-divisional levels accordingly," Mr. Padmakumar said. Control rooms have been opened at all districts, with motorcycles being positioned to reduce response time to crimes reported. *Within the city, patrolling has been intensified during night hours.
Fear remains
Despite all the efforts made by the police, the fear among public remains. "Combined squads of police and public have managed to nab criminals or stop them from committing crimes till recently," said C. Mohanakrishnan, a member of the Tripunithura zone of the Kochi City Action Force. Among the different zones of the action force, instances of crime are most reported from the Tripunithura area and suburbs, the action force members said.
Policemen felicitated
In a rare gesture, the action force held an extraordinary meeting to felicitate police officials for their contribution in fighting crime. "Changes in the social mindset have made policing a hard job," said P. Vijayan, City Police Commissioner, who was the chief guest at the function held at Giri Nagar Community Hall on Tuesday.
Mementos were presented to K.E. Joy, Superintendent of Police, Marine Enforcement; Bijo Alexander, Circle Inspector, Tripunithura; V.T. Sugathan, Sub-Inspector, Thripunithura; Anil George, junior sub-inspector, Tripunithura; eight constables and 13 action force volunteers.
