The European exodus to North America. The dismantling of Fnatic. Doublelift to Team SoloMid. The offseason has been a bit wild for the Western League of Legends regions. No team held onto their full 2015 roster, making
With the LCS starting up this week, it's time to take a look at some of the most interesting squads in the West.
After his spectacular 2015 Spring Split, many wondered when Forg1ven would ascend to the top tier of AD carries around the world. However, when he left his former team SK Gaming to join Gambit, he didn't find anywhere near the same success.
Now, the outspoken AD player finds himself on the always a bridesmaid, never a bride European squad H2K. There, he'll be joined by former ROCCAT support Vander, who has always shown promise but never really found his footing. H2K may have finished third in Europe during Summer 2015, but that bot lane will have to come together and become dominant to push them over the top. They'll be helped along by the European first blood king in jungler Jankos, as well as the up-and-coming top laner in Odoamne. Oh, and a certain Korean mid laner named Ryu.
They've got talent in all lanes, but H2K is now all about Forg1ven.
As it turns out, big money can buy big names.
Headed by an investment group that includes the co-owner of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlys and the president of Lionsgate Interactive, they were able to buy up some of the most sought-after names in League of Legends.
With the former Fnatic top/jungle duo Huni and Reignover, the immensely talented support Adrian, and the stalwart pair of Pobelter and WildTurtle in the mid and ADC roles, respectively, they've got one of the most potentially scary rosters in NA. Full of veterans, the Immortals roster should be able to come together more easily than most. But the variety of differing playstyles these players have (Huni's hyper-aggression versus WildTurtle's passivity, for example), they'll have to put together a cohesive strategy that works for all of them.
Team Vitality
Will the European super team work this time? Team Vitality sure hopes so.
By picking up the remnants of Gambit and members from H2K, ROCCAT, and Copenhagen Wolves, they're hoping that the mishmash of veterans will allow them to find a foothold as the 2016 season ramps up.
On paper, the the members of Vitality have very similar play styles. KaSing and Hjarnan played together for a long time on H2K, bringing their synergy and aggressive plays to the team. They're supplemented by Shook and his early game-focused ganking (he is a rare Riven jungle player, after all), as well as Cabochard's carry style top lane champion pool. These guys are going to look to fight you early and often to gain early advantages that they can roll over into victories.
The question mark here is nukeduck. The mid laner made a name for himself back in 2013 as a member of Lemondogs, earning a reputation as one of the next great European mid laners. However, 2014 wasn't kind to him, as he struggled with meta changes and keeping a regular gig. He'll have to step up his game if Vitality hopes to compete in Europe, much less the world stage.
Team SoloMid
Speaking of super teams, TSM has one of their own.
Many considered the acquisition of Doublelift from perpetual rivals CLG as the biggest pickup of the offseason. It was hard to imagine that they could do better than nabbing the star player from one of their biggest rivals to bolster one of the 2015 roster's weaknesses.
That is, until they signed YellOwStaR. The legendary Fnatic support is coming off of a trip to the semifinals of the 2015 World Championships, bringing his immense amount of experience and game knowledge to North America. TSM has struggled to find the right late game plays, something that YellOwStaR will be more than capable of helping them out with.
With his shotcalling prowess, TSM's de facto captain and mid laner Bjergsen will be freed up to concentrate on what he's best at - being the most dominant solo laner in North America. Combined with the aggressive jungle ganking of Svenskeren and the new new talent of Hauntzer, he may be able to prove exactly how good he is.

Product Description
In stock
|0.7125 lbs
|8 x 1 x 1 in
This is the second 6.8 spc bolt I've bought from Anderson Manufacturing. Great quality finished my ar15 a1 with foward assit with this bolt. Of course I also used the Anderson Manufacturing lower and lpk on this build as I do with all my builds.
Which upper receiver and barrel are needed for the 6.8 spc? I currently own the 7.62×39 and will be purchasing a 5.56 upper shortlt
Great price, acceptable product. Truly, great price but the BCG was so unbelievably stiff, that I gave it an initial cleaning (as is the custom) and thought it would loosen up. It didn't, and I had to break it down to bones and cleaned and polished as required. Once I fixed the BCG, it cycles so smooth I even slipped in an old Colt H2 to slow 'er down.
(BTW, Anderson upper, lower and parts, generic stock kit and DD HF barrel, 15″ FF KeyMod HG, Geissele 2-stg trigger, Nikon glass. Again, great price but I never had to break a new BCG all the way down on receipt. Live and Learn! NBD now.)
Would buy again at this price.

Liberal math
So if you've been living under a rock, and haven't heard, Arizona passed a law that will allow police to actually enforce immigration laws and detain anyone believed to be an illegal alien. Yes, I said ILLEGAL ALIEN – not undocumented worker – ILLEGAL ALIEN. (You may proceed to the next stage of the debate where you may whip out the RAAAAAAAAACISM card – just be aware, said card might be inserted into one of your orifices by force).
The governor of Arizona signed the law, and received a significant bounce in the polls for her actions, because the majority of Arizonans (64 percent), and 70 percent of Americans in general support such measures!
But somehow, our Fearless Leader still has the big, brass balls (or lack of common sense) to claim that this law is "polarizing."
Despite the fact that the majority of the nation supports this law, as does the majority of Arizonans, he has the temerity to claim the measure is divisive. Among whom, I wonder? Oh… politicians.
So apparently, according to liberal math, the law is divisive, not because the majority of Americans oppose it – they don't – but because politicians have a hard time agreeing on it.
Got it.
Aren't they supposed to be representing We the People?
Nutbag of the Week
And the coveted award goes to…………………………
Democrat New York State Senator Kevin Parker, who demonstrated Teh Crazee(tm) by calling his Republican counterparts in Albany "white supremacists," because one of them dared question a black nominee to the New York Power Authority about his past claim that "without programs for minorities, whites and the affluent would have access to nearly 100%" of government funding."
Err… wut?
"How dare you!" Parker shouted, at one point referring to "you racist people in here."
"I've never seen a white appointee be treated like this, in such rude fashion!" the Brooklyn Democrat yelled.
In a scene straight out of the Al Pacino movie "And Justice for All," Parker was repeatedly ruled out order.
"You're out of order!" he screamed back. "This committee's out of order!"
Amid the nearly two-minute tirade, committee chairman Carl Kruger(D-Brooklyn) told Parker he would be removed from the hearing room if he didn't settle down.
"Then get somebody to remove me," he said. "Bring people, though."
Parker, who's apparently had anger management issues in the past claims this is his attempt to fight back against Da Man! It's his own personal, somewhat quixotic battle against "the evils of white supremacy."
Apparently, in this new, post-racial America, white legislators are only allowed to ask non-critical questions of black nominees to any government position. They're certainly not allowed to pose questions that might be difficult to answer or that appear critical of the nominees' views, no matter how creepily Marxist they appear to be.
Meanwhile, in Bloomberg's gunless utopia…
A homeless man lies dying in the street in a pool of his own blood after trying to save a woman from a knife-wielding scumbag.
And no one lifts a finger to help.
Surveillance video obtained by the New York Post shows that some passers-by paused to gawk at Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax early Sunday morning and yet kept on walking.
One man came out of a nearby building and took a cellphone photo of the victim before leaving. Another leaned over and vigorously shook the dead man before walking away. But most people never stopped.
Firefighters arrived more than an hour and 20 minutes after Tale-Yax collapsed. By that time, the 31-year-old was dead.
Get this straight. Practically no one in New York City has the connections to sport a gun for self defense. Thugs know this. They know they don't have to worry about an armed victim defending him or herself, and they take full advantage. Fatal stabbings are on the increase, registering a 50 percent rise in 2008 .
Criminals can get guns, knives and anything else they want. Bloomberg and his tyrannical predecessors have effectively painted big, red targets on the backs of city residents, punishing them for daring to defend their lives and livelihoods against armed attackers, infringing on their right to defend their lives, and attempting to violate the rights of the rest of us by claiming that New York's problems require the rest of us to submit.
Yes, New York has problems. It has an apathetic, complacent populace that elects petty fascists and allows them to transform the city into their own fiefdom. It has a populace that has long stopped caring about its life. It has a populace that has come to love big government and the infringements with which it invariably comes.
And when people stop caring about their own lives and their own ability to protect themselves, why should they care about a guy lying in a pool of his own blood on the street? Why should they help someone who has actually attempted to step up to the plate and protect a disarmed woman against an armed thug?
After all he loved life enough to try, and they obviously can't have that in the Big Apple. Best just let him die.
Heartless, worthless worms.
When their city dissolves into a pit of violent aggression, and most of them are too chicken to stand up to the thugs, while their government petulantly pouts that they can't do anything, and how it's the fault of the rest of us who fight to preserve our Second Amendment rights, that their city has descended into a crime-ridden hell, I hope the rest of America tells them to get bent.
My friend Jeff sent me this piece, reprinted on the blog of a New Zealander, currently living in Belgium. Let's ignore, for now, the fact that she implies that the Patriots Day Second Amendment demonstrations in Washington, DC recently to incendiary, violent, hateful and filled with rhetoric.
Let's ignore, for now, that protests against government actions are the right and responsibility of a free people.
Let's ignore, even, that the recent protests meant to assert our fundamental rights were peaceable and organized.
Let's focus, for a minute, on the essay's vapid attempt to assert the existence of a "white privilege" which allows anyone and everyone who is white to threaten others, engage in violent and incendiary rhetoric, and to be viewed as patriotic, instead of extremist and pathetic.
Let's imagine.
Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia,just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s,assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters–the black protesters–spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn't like were enforced by the government. Would these protesters–these black protesters with guns–be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that's what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation's capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country's political leaders if the need arose.
Now, imagine hundreds of thousands of black men descending upon Washington DC , demanding that "their" issues be placed on the national agenda – issues based on nothing but race – led by a radical orator and proven hater of Jews, who has openly and vocally displayed his hatred, calling Judaism a "gutter religion ," accused the government of manufacturing the H1N1 flu vaccine in order to depopulate the earth, and another radical leader who specializes in race baiting and blackmail.
What if these same men were white men, demanding white issues were put on the national agenda – an agenda based on nothing but the needs of the white race? What if these same men were led by a proven anti-Semite, KKK leader and all-around racist? Would he be condemned? Considering how quickly Republicans kicked David Duke to the curb – much quicker than Barack Obama disavowed the hateful rhetoric of Jeremiah Wright, I think!
Imagine that white members of Congress, while walking to work, were surrounded by thousands of angry black people, one of whom proceeded to spit on one of those congressmen for not voting the way the black demonstrators desired. Would the protesters be seen as merely patriotic Americans voicing their opinions,or as an angry, potentially violent, and even insurrectionary mob?After all, this is what white Tea Party protesters did recently in Washington.
Let's ignore for a moment that there's still doubt that there was any kind of spitting. I did see the video, and there was a guy who was yelling at one of the Congressman who walked past him, and it looked like he unintentionally frothed at him. But besides that…
Imagine that two members of a radical, racist New Black Panther Party stood outside a polling place in Philadelphia , intimidated voters, and screamed racial epithets. Imagine that the intimidation was so obvious, that a respected member of the Civil Rights movement testified that they definitely violated the Voting Rights Act.
To support its evidence, the government had secured an affidavit from Bartle Bull, a longtime civil rights activist and former aide to Sen.Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. Mr. Bull said in asworn statement dated April 7 that he was serving in November as a credentialed poll watcher in Philadelphia when he saw the three uniformed Panthers confront and intimidate voters with a nightstick.
Hmmmm. If this were a few white guys doing the same thing, would the government have dropped the charges against them? Can you imagine the kind of uproar that would arise if charges were dropped against two obviously racist white guys intimidating voters with night sticks?
Imagine that a rap artist were to say,in reference to a white president: "He's a piece of shit and I told himto suck on my machine gun." Because that's what rocker Ted Nugent said recently about President Obama.
Now imagine a student stating clearly in an essay that he would like to shoot President Bush, because he would be known as a national hero. Or imagine an artist creating an art exhibit portraying an image of George W. Bush with a gun to his head.
Imagine that a prominent mainstream black political commentator had long employed an overt bigot as Executive Director of his organization, and that this bigot regularly participated in black separatist conferences, and once assaulted a white person while calling them by a racial slur. When that prominent black commentator and his sister–who also works for the organization–defended the bigot as a good guy who was misunderstood and"going through a tough time in his life" would anyone accept their excuse-making? Would that commentator still have a place on a mainstream network? Because that's what happened in the real world, when Pat Buchanan employed as Executive Director of his group, America's Cause, a blatant racist who did all these things, or at least their white equivalents: attending white separatist conferences and attacking a black woman while calling her the n-word.
Now imagine the President of the United States appointing a radical African American Marxist as a member of his administration – a Marxist who advocated for cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. A Marxist who accused a former President of the United States of being a "crackhead." Imagine the President of the United States attending a church, where the pastor continuously blasted America and showed his hatred by blasting Jews, and then claiming that somehow, in 20 years, he wasn't aware of Jeremiah Wright's political leanings and statements. Somehow, America accepted that excuse and voted this particular President into office anyway.
Imagine that a black radio host were to suggest that the only way to get promoted in the administration of a white president is by "hating black people," or that a prominent white person had only endorsed a white presidential candidate as an act of racial bonding, or blamed a white president for a fight on a school bus in which a black kid was jumped by two white kids, or said that he wouldn't want to kill all conservatives, but rather, would like to leave just enough–"living fossils" as he called them–"so we will never forget what these people stood for." After all, these are things that Rush Limbaugh has said, about Barack Obama's administration, Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama, a fight on a school bus in Belleville, Illinois in which two black kids beat up a white kid, and about liberals, generally.
Now imagine a slew of celebrities calling a sitting President a fascist, a brownshirt, accusing him of manufacturing the largest terrorist attack on US soil in history,
"I not only think that they (U.S. leaders) are misguided, but I think they know exactly what they are doing and I think that they are men who are possessed of evil." — Harry Belafonte
"The real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs." — Sandra Bernhard
"Yes, (Bush is a) racist. We all knew that but the world is only finding it out now. As Texas's governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all the other U.S. states together. And most of the people who died from (the) death penalty were Afro-Americans or Hispanics. (Bush) promoted a Conservative program, designed to eliminate everything Americans had accomplished so far in matters of race and equality." — Danny Glover
"Too many people are being bowled over by Bush and Tony Blair in Britain. It's ludicrous to expect the whole world to follow what they want. America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up." — Spike Lee
Get it yet?
Imagine that a black pastor, formerly a member of the U.S. military, were to declare, as part of his opposition to a white president's policies, that he was ready to "suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do." This is,after all, what Pastor Stan Craig said recently at a Tea Party rally in Greenville, South Carolina.
Two words: Jeremiah Wright. One quote: "And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed.She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."
Imagine a black radio talk show host gleefully predicting a revolution by people of color if the government continues to be dominated by the rich white men who have been"destroying" the country, or if said radio personality were to call Christians or Jews non-humans, or say that when it came to conservatives, the best solution would be to "hang 'em high." And what would happen to any congressional representative who praised that commentator for "speaking common sense" and likened his hate talk to"American values?" After all, those are among the things said by radio host and best-selling author Michael Savage, predicting white revolution in the face of multiculturalism, or said by Savage about Muslims and liberals, respectively. And it was Congressman Culbertson, from Texas,who praised Savage in that way, despite his hateful rhetoric.
Imagine a black columnist and university professor who perpetually advocates citizen disarmament by force who essentially condemns the concept of a "United" States, while pushing the agenda of "Black America?" How about an Attorney General who calls us a nation too cowardly to talk about race, while his boss cavorts with overt racists, such as Jeremiah Wright and Charles Ogletree, while appointing a woman to the Supreme Court who thinks her Latina wisdom makes her much more capable of reaching the right conclusion than a white male?
Imagine a black political commentator suggesting that the only thing the guy who flew his plane into the Austin, Texas IRS building did wrong was not blowing up Fox News instead. This is, after all, what Anne Coulter said about Tim McVeigh,when she noted that his only mistake was not blowing up the New York Times.
Imagine news outlets comparing psycho anti-government lunatic Joe Stack to TEA party protesters.
Imagine that a popular black liberal website posted comments about the daughter of a white president, calling her "typical redneck trash," or a "whore" whose mother entertains her by "making monkey sounds." After all that's comparable to what conservatives posted about Malia Obama on free republic.com last year,when they referred to her as "ghetto trash."
Imagine a popular liberal website calling the daughter of a white president a slut. Imagine doing a Google Search on Jenna Bush and finding about 35,000 hits with the keywords "Jenna Bush" and "slut."
Imagine that black protesters at a large political rally were walking around with signs calling for the lynching of their congressional enemies. Because that's what white conservatives did last year, in reference to Democratic party leaders in Congress.
Imagine black demonstrators at a celebration saying the following to police officers:
"White bitches. F— McCain. You white police can't do nothing,"19-year-old Celita Hart taunted officers as she stood with a throng of Obama supporters in the 6900 block of South Western Avenue, Assistant State's Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said in a court Wednesday. At some point, authorities said, Hart left the crowd, which had been chanting "Obama, Obama," walked up to a squad car, and smacked a male officer in the face.
Yeah, all that white privilege…
The bottom line is that the fear of being called a racist is so deep and ingrained in this nation, that we're willing to ignore blatant racism as long as it's perpetuated by members of the "Victim of the Month" Club against the "oppressors."
And by the way… as for the Second Amendment demonstrations and TEA party protests – compared to the "anti-war" protests in St. Paul a couple of years ago, where buildings were vandalized and a police car was set on fire… Compared to the violent threats issued against George W. Bush during protests throughout his presidency… Considering the group of pro-illegal alien scum who attacked police officers in Arizona just a few days ago…
…I would submit that it's not the (largely Caucasian) Second Amendment and TEA party demonstrations that have turned violent in recent years, but the largely liberal (and minority-dominated) protests that have gone largely ignored by the mainstream media and smoothed over by both politicians and political appointees in an effort to appear "progressive" and tolerant.

Baseball: Judge rules in favor of Indians in logo lawsuit
By Steve Keating
TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian judge dismissed a late attempt to bar Major League Baseball's Cleveland Indians from using their controversial logo and team nickname during Monday's playoff game versus the host Toronto Blue Jays.
The legal challenge by prominent Canadian architect and indigenous activist Douglas Cardinal was heard in a Toronto court hours before the Blue Jays host the Indians in Game Three of their American League Championship series.
Lawyers for Cardinal argued in an Ontario Superior Court of Justice that the Indians nickname and "Chief Wahoo" logo - a smiling cartoon man with red skin and a feather in his headband - are derogatory.
But the judge dismissed the attempt and said he would give his reasons at a later date.
"We are pleased with the judge's ruling and will continue focusing on an exciting Postseason," MLB said in a statement.
The Indians are not the only North American professional sports team to come under fire from native groups.
The National Football League's Washington Redskins and National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks have also been targets of protests and legal challenges over the years.
MLB, which has also faced similar protests over the Atlanta Braves, also said they appreciate the concerns of those that find the Indians name and logo offensive. Continued...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have been deported in USA cause by an out of status of 5 months and suspission of illegal work and the US customs cancelled my ESTA and told me I can come back in USA only with a visa and I can apply at any time,but I wanted to know if I can travel in Cuba for vacation.Can I have trouble with cuban customs cause my deportation?
Cuba is a separate soverign country from the United States. The deportation order for entry into the US does not effect your ability to gain entry to a non-US nation or territory. The rules of the foreign sovergnity would have to be examined as to your capacity to gain entry into that nation.
Legal disclaimer: The statement above is provided by CC Abbott is based on general assistance and not intended to be a legal opinion because not all the facts are provided. The person requesting information and all others reading the answer should retain an attorney who is permitted by the state bar within the jurisdiction who can examine the complete facts and provide a legal opinion on your case. All information provided in the above answer and other information provided by CC Abbott does not create an attorney/client relationship within any state of Federal law.Ask a similar question
It's important to understand that Cuba will not give force and effect to a removal from our country. However there is an issue within your fact pattern. If you were ordered removed from the U.S. then you are barred from returning and you'll need an I-212 approved prior to applying for a visa. If you were granted voluntary departure during the removal proceedings and complied with the grant of voluntary departure, than that issue is alleviated.Ask a similar question
You would be better off asking someone from or familiar with the government of Cuba. Good luck. I hear Cuba is a great place to visit.Ask a similar question

I think $100 gets you halfway to where you need to be.
My wife got me a Chrony Beta Master for my birthday last year, and I've shot rifle and pistol over it. Like many new digital devices it takes a little "cockpit time" to learn the functions, but an air pistol in the back yard gave me the familiarization I needed. I think it's a great machine. The remote readout/control is a must and worth the extra bucks, IMO.
Whatever you get, you'll need a tripod or similar rig to mount it, and you need sandbags or similar to hold it in place. I hung a concrete-filled coffee can from the center of the tripod to weight it down. A used Pelican case from fleaBay keeps all the pieces together for cheap.
The one thing I wish Chrony would add would be a better means to download data; you can buy their software for another $75 I think, but I'm too cheap to spring for that. I just copy down the data from each string and enter them in the spreadsheets manually, but I'm sure there's a better way.
The chronograph definitely adds another and highly useful dimension to reloading.

China escapes 'manipulator' tag
The US Treasury declined on Friday to designate China as a "currency manipulator" even as Mitt Romney, the putative Republican candidate for president, turned up the heat on the issue by promising to do so on his first day if elected.
In its semi-annual exchange rate report to Congress – slipped out, for the second year running, on the Friday before the Memorial Day holiday – the Treasury said that "the available evidence suggests the RMB (renminbi) remains significantly undervalued" but that China did not meet the "manipulator" definition.
The report reflects a difficult dance for the Obama administration, which is caught between the politics of swing states such as Ohio, which have lost jobs to Chinese competition, and the reality that naming China a manipulator would probably halt its moves towards a freer currency.
"With this report, the administration no doubt hopes to blunt criticism that it is being soft on China while acknowledging that China has made progress in freeing up its currency and opening its capital account," said Eswar Prasad, professor of trade policy at Cornell University.
The report noted a decline in China's current account surplus and a 12.5 per cent rise in the renminbi against the dollar over the last two years after adjusting for inflation.
Separately on Friday, China launched a complaint at the World Trade Organisation against US anti-dumping duties on Chinese products.

The latest news from academia, regulators

A microscopic motor with a single particle, lasers and electric fields
|At the macroscopic level, a thermal engine is what makes car engines work, where a substance such as gas is compressed and expanded at different temperatures, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy, and thus, making the car move. Almost two centuries ago, the theoretical studies by Carnot set an upper bound to any thermal engine. Unfortunately, the so-called Carnot engine is a theoretical construction never tested experimentally.
|In their study, the researchers focused their efforts in creating a microscopic engine with the same properties as the Carnot engine, allowing the experimental validation of one of the milestones of Thermodynamics.
|Efficiency Fluctuations at maximum power.
|They created microscopic motors that work using a temperature difference, exactly as the engines in cars work, using the temperature difference between the hot gas inside the piston and the air outside. Instead of using a gas, they used a single particle and lasers and electrical fields in replacement of the cylinders, pistons and crankshafts, although the functioning process is essentially the same. They developed the microscopic heat engine by trapping a microparticle with a laser trap and tune the effective temperature of the particle via noisy electric fields, which increase the Brownian fluctuations of the trapped particle.
|Moreover, by modifying the laser power they were able to control the confinement of the particle in the trap, a sort of effective volume analogous to that of the gas inside the cylinder of a car engine. The simultaneous control over these two parameters following specific protocols established the cyclic operation that any kind of engine has, in particular those that define the Carnot cycle.
|Raúl Rica comments that the technology developed at ICFO is unique and allows one to tune the temperature of the particle in a very precise way. This fine tuning is a must for the success of the experiment and, consequently, ICFO is one of the few places where our micromotor could be developed.
|The results of this study have confirmed that it is possible to build systems that transform any temperature difference into useful work or electric power, no matter how big or small they are. Ignacio Martínez sees great future in its applications stating that being able to understand thermodynamics at the microscale" is a definite step forward towards comprehending how motors function within our cells. Knowing how these operate will allow us to design artificial nanomotors and apply them in state-of-the-art fields such as intelligent materials, artificial muscles, or even nanorobots.

Boehner losing optimism on border legislation deal
Amid hardening positions by both political parties, House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday he's losing optimism that Democrats and Republicans can agree before their summer break on legislation to address the influx of young Central Americans across the U.S. border.
Boehner said any legislation that would send emergency funds to the border to alleviate the surge of migrants should be accompanied by a change in a 2008 law that he says is being abused. Most Democrats oppose that option, and the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee emphasized Thursday that he can't accept changing U.S. policy to speed the removal of Central American kids without court hearings.
Asked if he had confidence Republicans and Democrats could reach agreement by month's end, Boehner said: "I don't have as much optimism as I'd like to have." Congress leaves for a month long recess at the end of July.
President Barack Obama has asked for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to boost enforcement at the border and to increase housing for the border crossing minors. Republicans want to lower the amount and want changes in a law that would help speed up removals.

Hello, I would like to purchase a high-end mosquito fogger. I am inquiring about solutions to use – do you sell pyrethrum or permethrin? How much please and how long would they last? Tx, Jill
If you review our MOSQUITO CONTROL article, you'll learn we have many types of foggers and several compounds that can be used to fog including PYRETHRIN and PERMETHRIN. Here is a brief summary of some options; our online article covers all of this in much greater detail and well worth reviewing if you want more product and treatment details (a link to that is down below too).
For small jobs, an electric Mini Fogger may do the jog.
Mini Fogger: http://www.bugspraycart.com/equipment/foggers/fogmaster-5330-120-volt
For small to medium yards, like 1/2 acre or less, a slightly larger unit like this would be better suited:
FM6309: http://www.bugspraycart.com/equipment/foggers/fogmaster-6309-120-v
For an acre or larger (which is what I have and I use this unit), the gas powered backpack Mist Blower is a great choice:
Back Pack Mister: http://www.bugspraycart.com/equipment/foggers/solo-mistblower-backpack
And if you have several acres you want to treat, a thermal fogger will be needed (requires oil only mixtures):
Golden Eagle: http://www.bugspraycart.com/equipment/foggers/golden-eagle-hot-fogger
As for what to use in these? All of the above units will accept water based products except the thermal fogger which needs oil based material. And since oil based materials cost more, this is something that should factor into your decision on which model to get. Again, our article explains the differences more in detail.
So for all of these units, we do have a Pyrethrin and Permethrin that can be mixed with water or oil.
Evergreen: http://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/exciter-16-oz
Permethrin SFR: http://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/perm-sfr
And if you need to get the thermal fogger, which is really only needed if you are treating a couple of acres or more, you'll need to use deodorized oil for making tank mixed solutions:
Deodorized Oil: http://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/deodorized-oil
Lastly, if you intend on treating around water like ponds, rivers, lakes or the ocean, go with Essentria IC. This material uses a food grade active that is labeled for use in these sensitive areas:
Essentria IC3: http://www.bugspraycart.com/exempt/liquid/eco-excempt-gal
For more details on all these products, refer to our Mosquito Control article here:
Mosquito Control: http://bugspray.com/articles98/mosquito.html
Give us a call if you need more help. Our toll free is 1-800-877-7290 and we're open 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Mon-Thur; 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Friday and 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Saturday, Eastern Standard Time.

The Government of the United States of America has rights in this invention pursuant to contract No. F-33657-77-C 0468 awarded by Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
The present invention is directed towards providing a means of testing, analyzing and correcting rotor vibrations.
A recurrent problem in the manufacture, testing, installation, and operation of rotating machinery is the need to balance the rotor. The balancing procedure involved is usually referred to as field balancing, trim balancing, or in-place balancing when performed in the test cell or in the final installation. Factory balancing in traditional low-speed machines usually involves general sensors (integral parts of the balancing machine) used to identify balance corrections in one or at most two locations along the rotor's shaft axis. However, in many devices in which rotors operate at high speeds, the ability and accuracy in determining and correcting vibrations due to an unbalanced rotor becomes more and more critical to satisfactory operation of the device. An important example of this is in commercial and military jet engine applications which utilize a single stage rotor or multiple-stage rotors. Periodically for safety and efficiency, the jet engine undergoes testing, and if necessary overhauling. The system testing involves determination of the actual levels of critical performance and operating parameters versus the allowable levels. Frequently, engine vibration levels which exceeds the allowable limits are detected. The rotor therefore must be trim balanced, that is, the synchronous vibration components of a trim balanceable rotor are reduced to a permissable level. If the rotor cannot be balanced by trim balancing techniques (i.e., due to lack of access to the area in need of trim balancing, rotor shift, misalignment etc.), the whole engine is returned to the final assembly area for corrective rework.
Such situations are true not only in jet engine applications but also in many others which involve complex machines and require a high degree of accuracy in the balancing of the rotor.
Regarding particularly however the example of jet engines, present procedures required for correcting excessive rotor vibrations are time consuming and lacking in precision. Trim balancing, a simple operation compared to finding and correcting other vibration problems, still takes approximately five hours. In this regard, if during the testing of the engine and rotor, it is found to have excessive vibrations, no matter where they originate, the operator will attempt to trim balance the engine and rotor by adding weights to the accessible portion of the rotor. The engines that cannot be trim balanced in this fashion are rejected and returned to the rework area. However, much time and effort is wasted in attempting to trim balance engines which, due to the nature of the unbalance, are not capable of being trim balanced. Moreover, since the nature of the unbalanced condition is not sufficiently ascertained, only a minimum amount of data is available to direct engine rework. Moreover, what data is available is determined by a testing operator and, therefore, subjective and highly dependent upon the experience of the operator. This results in additional and unnecessary time spent on reworking the engine to enable it to meet acceptable operating standards.
The already high cost of rotor testing and overhaul is ever increasing. Also, the present and increasing requirement for rapid turnaround of overhauled engines, particularly jet engines, has created a need for reducing the time and cost to test and overhaul engines, thereby increasing the availability of the engines for operation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide for a means of trim balancing and diagnosing vibrations in rotors, such as those used in aircraft engines, so as to reduce time and costs to test and overhaul such engines.
In this regard, the present invention provides for testing and trim balancing to be done in a relatively short period and to provide a diagnostic function which ascertains the probable cause of the vibration to expedite rework if necessary.
The present invention requires only the speed data and vibration signature of the rotor to evaluate the rotor's operation. Four basic predetermined criteria determine the cause of any vibrations. These criteria analyze the vibration data provided at various transient and steady state speeds by a plurality of vibration sensors or probes positioned on the engine casing about the rotor(s) (high and low pressure rotors may be involved in jet engines).
The first criteria determines the location of the maximum vibration by determining at what sensor location the strongest or highest vibration appears. For example, if the first of two vibration sensors is positioned at the compressor end of a rotor and the second at the turbine end, and if the first sensor showed high vibrations, the cause of the vibrations would probably be at the compressor end of the rotor.
A second diagnostic criteria involves transient measurement analysis, that is, for example varying the speed of the engine and rotor from idle up to full speed (just prior to the first critical speed to just beyond the second critical speed of the low pressure rotor), and back down again. If there is a discontinuous or abrupt change in vibration as the rotors' speed changes, this indicates a rotor shift.
The third criteria involves frequency domain analysis at different steady state speeds. This involves a spectrum analysis of vibration signal frame the rotor rotating at predetermined steady state speeds, so as to determine the frequency components of the vibration and their source.
The last criteria involves analysis of critical speed maps in which the rotor itself and the various components coupled to the rotor provide a maximum vibration at a select critical speed (which is usually predetermined by the manufacturer) for comparison to the theoretical. Misalignment rather than unbalance would be indicated by vibration frequencies at two times the expected frequency.
After accummulating the aforenoted data, it can be determined whether the unbalance is the type that can be corrected by trim balancing (i.e., unbalance in an accessible area and not due to rotor shifting, misalignment, etc.) Then a somewhat standard trim balancing technique would be performed. A history of the rotors' characteristics including predetermined influence coefficients for trim balancing (the predetermined parameters of the particular rotor type which indicates the balancing similarity) would be updated and stored for reference when performing future analysis of the rotor.
If unable to trim balance, the engine and rotor would be reworked with the above generated data indicating the probable cause of the vibrations, thus expediting the rework.
The aforenoted objects, advantages and others will be realized by the present invention, the description of which is to be taken in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the system for performing rotor diagnostics and trim balancing, incorporating the teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram flow chart of the steps involved in rotor diagnostics, incorporating the teachings of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram flow chart of trim balancing a rotor, printout and storage of rotor data.
The present invention is directed towards first providing a diagnostic function to ascertain if the rotor of an engine can be trim balanced and second, if so, to trim balance it. With a large percentage of engines, however trim balancing is not effective or possible. Typically, this occurs when no trim balance locations are accessible without engine disassembly (such as the core of a turbofan), when the engine is not provided with trim balancing locations, or when the high vibration levels cannot be corrected by balancing alone such as where rotor shift or misalignment is involved. For these conditions, the diagnostic procedure of this invention is advantageous to identify the source of engine vibration, to minimize the trial-and-error in reworking and avoid multiple engine retest procedures. By isolating the sources of excess vibration, the system increases the productivity of testing and reduces the amount of fuel consumed during engine test. The end result is that more engines are available for service at reduced cost.
With reference to FIG. 1, there is depicted the overall system 10 which is coupled to an engine 12 to be tested. The present system is particularly useful in analyzing a jet engine. Usually high and low pressure rotors are involved therein and as such will be used as an example throughout the disclosure herein. The present invention is not limited to jet engines but is applicable to all types of rotor or multiple-stage rotor applications.
In FIG. 1, a plurality of vibration pickup sensors 14 are provided. These sensors are coupled to a signal conditioner 16 and provide analog vibration signals thereto. The number of sensors and their location may vary. Consideration should be given to the dynamic characteristics and the theoretical responses of the particular rotor in choosing the number and location of the sensors needed. In the embodiment illustrated, three sensors (V1, V2, V3) are mounted on the casing of the engine; V1 adjacent the compressor end of the low pressure rotor, V3 adjacent the low pressure turbine end; and V2 in between V1 and V3 adjacent to the high pressure rotor.
Since a jet engine usually involves the use of two rotors, a low pressure rotor and high pressure rotor, monitoring the speed of the rotors requires two rotational speed sensors N1 and N2 respectively. The speed sensor outputs are similarly coupled to the signal conditioner 16, which converts the analog signals into digital signals.
A computer 20, which may be for example a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAX 11/780 processor is coupled to the signal conditioner 16 via a digital signal processor 22. Processor 22 may be for example a DEC PDP 11/03 CPU with a MOS memory such as the MSLL-64KB memory module, or any other equipment suitable for purpose. The digital signal processor 22 controls the acquisition and processing of data from the vibration and rotor speed sensors on the jet engine under test.
A programmable clock can be used in processor 22 to synchronize the rotor speed and the vibration data. This of course would be in addition to A/D (Analog to Digital) convertors, filters and other conventional apparatus for proper operation.
The particular signal processing functions of the processor 22 are controlled by command links 23. The data collected by the processor 22 is transmitted via data links 24 to the computer 20 for diagnostic purposes in its diagnostic and balancing logic section 26 and storage in the archive memory section 28A and/or memory 28B. Communication lines with the computer 20 may be serial RS-232 communication links or any other means suitable for the purpose.
Consider the present invention's diagnostic procedure as shown by FIG. 2 which sets forth a representation flow diagram of the diagnostic analysis which would be performed by the diagnostic and balancing logic section 26 of the computer 20. This flow chart corresponds to the four basic criteria in the rotor diagnostic analysis.
The first of these criteria involves determining which sensor V1, V2, V3 records the maximum vibration. At the start (30) of the engine test, the engine is accelerated from idle speed to full speed (32), with full speed being just after the second critical speed of the low pressure rotor. A reading would be taken at every 100 RPM interval as determined by the rotor speed sensors N1 and N2 which are synchronized by the clock. In this regard, a large set of data samples is acquired from each of the vibration sensors during a single revolution of each rotor. This is accomplished by synchronizing the acquisition of vibration sensor output using the programmable clock and the A/D converters.
During this run up the overall engine vibration would be determined. Additionally the frequency components within the raw signals from vibration sensors V1, V2, and V3 that are synchronous (or identical) to the rotational frequency of the N1 and/or N2 rotors are determined. The data when determined (34) is then stored in temporary memory 28B. Similar data would then be accumulated as the engine decelerates from full speed to idle (36) with corresponding data accumulated (38) and fed into memory 28B.
This information is now analyzed (40) to determine the maximum vibration. Analysis will provide the speed at which the maximum overall vibration on each respective sensor is realized and the speed signal of N1 and N2 at which the maximum vibrations occur on each sensor, V1, V2, V3. The specific type engine being tested pre-determines the proper speed range and the appropriate vibration sensors which should be analyzed over the operating speeds.
For the engine used as an example in this discussion, the N1 rotor synchronous frequency component of the V1 sensor is scanned for occurrence of a peak or maximum vibration over the speed range of engine operation. If the maximum vibration occurs, for example, in some predetermined range of the low pressure rotor such as approximately 7000 RPM to full speed then this indicates a low pressure rotor unbalance within its compressor stages. Similarly, if the maximum vibrations occurred between idle and approximately 7000 RPM, then this would indicate a change in flexibility of the low pressure rotor.
Likewise, the maximum vibrations on sensor V2 are determined. If the maximum components that are synchronous with the N2 rotor occur in the speed range of idle to approximately 10,000 RPM, then this indicates that the high pressure rotors turbine side is unbalanced. If the maximum vibration component that is synchronous with the N2 rotor occurs in the speed range of 10,000 RPM to full speed, this would indicate unbalance at the high pressure rotor on its compressor side.
In the case of sensor V3, if a maximum vibration component which is synchronous to the N1 rotor occurs in the speed range of idle to 7000 RPM, this would indicate unbalance on the low pressure rotor's turbine side. A maximum vibration at V3 in the range of 7000 RPM to full speed would point to a change in flexibility of the low pressure rotor.
The second criteria is transient measurement analysis (42). The vibrations at the sensors V1, V2, V3 under the previously described transient (run up and run down) operating conditions are monitored for vibrations that change abruptly or discontinuously with an increase or decrease in speed. For example, a discontinuity of greater than 1.5 mils in the vibration at V1 for a change of 200 RPM in speed sensor signal of N1 would indicate a shift in the low pressure rotor at the compressor; a discontinuity at V3 would indicate a shift in the low pressure rotor at the turbine; and at a discontinuity of greater than 1.5 mils at V2 for a change of 200 RPM in the signal of N2 would indicate a shift in the high pressure rotor.
Upon completion of this testing, the speed of the engine and rotors would be returned to idle (44) at which time if so desired, a display or other output (not shown) of the computer 20 may be provided of the data accumulated up to this point. The output 70 could take on a variety of forms such as video, graphic, hard copy, or standard line printer if so desired.
A third criteria is involved in the present system which is directed towards determining a spectrum analysis of the steady state data of the frequency domain of vibration and its components. A rotor behaves much differently in a transient state (that is when the speed is continuously changing) and a steady state (when it is run at the same speed for a time). Such a spectrum analysis of vibrations can be provided for example by a device manufactured by Hewlett Packard, entitled "Spectrum Analyzer" Model No. 5200. In this regard, once the idle speed is set, then the collection of steady state vibration data (46) begins. The speed of the engine and rotors is incrementally (7000, 8000, 9000 full RPM) brought up at fixed intervals of predetermined duration (approximately 3 min.) from idle to a maximum vibration speed. The amplitude of the vibration signals from the sensors V1, V2, V3 at these predetermined speeds of the rotors are monitored to provide the frequency domain for the rotor's operation. In addition, the frequency of the signals are doubled since vibration due to misalignment would exist at twice the frequency of vibration due to unbalance. Additionally, accessory frequencies are monitored.
More particularly, with the engine and accessory frequencies known, during the steady state operation, the overall vibrations at sensors V1, V2 and V3 are determined by a time-to-frequency Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrum (47) to determine the spectrum contents and to extract the synchronous component amplitude and phase from the data signals.
The amplitude of each known component provides its contribution to the overall vibration and serves to identify the component and therefore the location from which the vibrations originate and accordingly whether they can be corrected.
If the amplitude of the vibrations due to the known components of the engine are subtracted from the overall vibrations (V1 +V2 +V3) and produce a result greater than zero, a seal rub would be indicated. If the overall doubled frequency of vibration due to unbalance (2�N1) is greater than 0.5 mils, this would indicate a low pressure rotor misalignment. Similarly, if the overall vibrations at 3�N2 are greater than 0.5 mils, this would indicate a high pressure rotor misalignment. If the vibration at the accessory frequency is greater than that calculated for the known group then this would indicate vibrations due to an unknown group.
Also, if at the maximum operating speed the maximum vibration exists this would indicate that the unbalance is at the compressor side of the rotors. If at the minimum operating speed the maximum vibration exists, the unbalance is indicated to be at the turbine side of the rotors. Since based upon this it is uncertain in a two rotor system which rotor is involved, reliance upon the other criteria is therefore necessary.
The last criteria is coupled to the previous frequency domain analysis and involves the use of critical speed maps (48) for the rotors and accessories, which are available from the manufacturers of the engines. These maps set forth the critical speeds for each component and accessory of the engine, that being the speed at which the vibration of the respective components would be a maximum.
The theoretical frequencies are used to identify actual measured vibration frequencies from the dynamic rotor performance. For example, if a measure component of the vibration had a frequency of 10,000 RPM and according to the critical speed map an oil pump coupled to the rotor has a maximum vibration at 10,000 RPM, this would indicate that there was an unbalance at the pump.
Once all of the foregoing data is accumulated then according to the parameters aforenoted, the diagnostic and balancing logic section 26 will generate an output (50) via the previous output to set forth the causes of the vibration in an order of greatest probability if so desired, an output report 52 of the same can be printed via a mechanical printer.
As can be seen, once basic rotor characteristics have been ascertained for the particular rotor, analysis of the possible defects due to rotor unbalance becomes effective in pin pointing the causes of the vibration.
At this point, a determination (54) is made whether the vibration is due to unbalancing which can be corrected by trim balancing. If correctable, then a somewhat convention trim balancing can proceed. If it can be corrected then the engine and low pressure rotor is set (56) at an appropriate speed (i.e, 8500 RPM). The vibration (amplitude and phase) at V1 and N1 is determined (58) and the predetermined influence coefficients already stored in storage 28A are used in a standard manner, such as the Sumiville Method, to calculate the balance weight to be used and the location that they are to be placed. Influence coefficients relate vibration amplitude at specific locations and speeds to the mass unbalance at a reference position. A data output via 70 is provided as to the placement of the appropriate balance weights (60).
After installation of the balance weights the engine and rotor would then be test run again (62) at 8500 RPMs to insure proper balancing. Lastly, the data generated would be in the form of an output (64) which would include, inter alia, acceleration, deceleration, and FFT plots for each of the sensors V1, V2 and V3 along with the previously provided data as to the probable cause of the vibrations provided to the operator in printed form, video, or any other form including plots, with this data stored in the archive storage 28A along with previously generated data for this particular engine.
If the engine could not properly be trim balanced, then after a determination of what is causing the vibrations and a determination (54) is made not to trim balance then the test data is generated as an output (64) to enable a relatively quick and efficient reworking of the engine.
Thus by the foregoing invention its objects and advantages are readily realized, and although a preferred embodiment has been disclosed and described in detail herein, its scope should not be limited thereby rather its scope should be determined by that of the appended claims.
