Spare Part Management in a Testing Workshop Xiaobing Li, Kaike Zhang, Zhibo Tan
Spare part management is essential to many organizations, since excess inventory leads to high holding costs and stock outs can greatly impact operations performance, but it is a major problem in the testing work shop in Robert Bosch China Diesel (RBCD) Wuxi. The workshop is used to test the functionality of the injectors, such as those statistics for pressure, electro conductivity, etc. After implementing the automated tower storage in the work shop, the workshop supervisor applied monthly order policy to purchase spare parts, which means at the end of each month, he/she will check the consumption of last month's spare parts and make orders according to that data. However, in order to control the inventory of spare parts and achieve minimum total inventory cost of those parts, the (Q, r) model was suggested to make the monthly order, realizing the goal of maximizing the net profit of injectors.» Mehr lesen
Towards a Virtual Factory Prototype Sanjay Jain, David Lechevalier
A virtual factory should represent most of the features and operations of the corresponding real factory. Some of the key features of the virtual factory include the ability to assess performance at multiple resolutions and generate analytics data similar to that possible in a real factory. One should be able to look at the overall factory performance and be able to drill down to a machine and analyze its performance. It will require a large amount of effort and expertise to build such a virtual factory. This paper describes an effort to build a multiple resolution model of a manufacturing cell. The model provides the ability to study the performance at the cell level or at the machine level. The benefits and limitations of the presented approach and future research directions are also described.» Mehr lesen
Using a Discrete-event Simulation Model for Efficient Operation of Tunnel Boring Machines Mohammad Mahdi Farshchian, Gholamreza Heravi
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is the primary resource in a tunnel construction project and generally its advance rate is equal to the performance rate of the whole project. Regarding previous studies, the utilization factor of TBMs is approximately 50% most of the time. The process of repair and maintenance of various parts of the machine and the logistic equipment takes 50% of the time. This case study aims to simulate the whole process of TBM tunneling in Ahwas subway project and find out how different scenarios of repair and maintenance can affect the utilization factor of the TBM. The model is developed using discrete-event simulation (DES) method.» Mehr lesen
Strategic Planning of Logistics for Offshore Arctic Drilling Platforms Supported by Simulation Andrey A. Malykhanov, Vitaliy E. Chernenko
The operation of offshore drilling platforms requires a lot of logistics: supply of platforms by platform supply vessels (PSVs), backward transportation of waste in containers and transportation of oil by tankers to export ports. The severe weather conditions of the Arctic Ocean increase the number of possible disruptions that influence the logistic system. The operation of PSVs and tankers has multiple constraints and interactions. An agent-based simulation has been developed in AnyLogic to support the strategic planning of logistics by year 2042. The presentation discusses the use of the model to determine the required number of vessels and compare different options of crude oil outbound logistic network design.» Mehr lesen

Electric Vehicle Driver Simulation using Agent-Based Modeling Beaudry Kock, Recargo, Inc., 2014
Recargo has been developing an agent-based model with the AnyLogic tool to help us simulate the charging patterns of electric vehicle drivers in California. Our goal is to better understand the potential value from delivering electricity grid services with these vehicles. Development has only been underway for a few weeks, but in that time we've been able to use AnyLogic's accessible interface and Java coding tools to quickly build and test a proof-of-concept model with which we can explore the potential for a more sophisticated and complex effort.» Mehr lesen
An Online Simulation To Link Asset Condition Monitoring And Operations Decisions In Through-Life Engineering Services Benny Tjahjono, Evandro Leonardo Silva Teixeira, Sadek Crisóstomo Absi Alfaro, Proceedings of the 2013 Winter Simulation Conference
This paper presents an online simulation framework that can be used to support operational decisions within the context of Through-life Engineering Services. Acting as a closed-loop feedback control mechanism, the simulation model is physically coupled to the assets and will be triggered and automatically executed to assess a set of operational decisions related to maintenance scheduling, resource allocation, spare parts inventory etc. Experimental cases comparing the online simulation against the traditional approach will also be presented. The outcomes have demonstrated the prospects of the framework in enabling more effective/efficient operations of engineering services leading to high assets availability and reduced through-life costs.» Mehr lesen

I recently went to Texas to look at real estate and visit family, as many of you may know. What you don't know is that I made up most of my ambitious itinerary as I went along, which had me zigzagging across the state with little time to breathe, let alone properly relax.
My aunt has a saying, "When you fail to plan, you plan to fail." My travel plans were cobbled together at the last minute, and while my spontaneity prevented me from seeing and doing everything I wanted to, I would not say that my trip was a complete failure.
Recipe for a less-stressful trip to Texas
1. Buy your plane ticket well enough in advance so you're not forced to fly into a city that you don't plan to spend any time visiting. This will not only save on travel time but you'll also be less road-weary when you finally do reach your destination.

Please read the text below, which is a helpful introduction to scholarships. Also use the following links to more specific information.
- Wildcat Scholarships
- CSU, Chico President's Scholarships
- Athletic Scholarships
- External Scholarships
- Graduate Equity Fellowship Program
- MBA Scholarships
- Middle Class Scholarships
Scholarships consider special qualifications, such as academic, athletic, or artistic talent, and provide a form of aid that does not have to be repaid. Scholarships and other awards are also available for students pursuing particular fields of study, are interested in entering certain professions, or who are members of groups underrepresented in higher education. Unlike grants, which require demonstrated need, scholarships may be awarded on a "merit" basis instead of on "need," although some also stipulate "need."
Scholarships are a prestigious form of aid because the student awarded a scholarship has met specific criteria stipulated by a donor. Students should consider applying for scholarships, not only for the financial assistance offered, but also for the recognition and standing that accompany receipt of such an award.
There are many scholarship sources: the University, local and regional organizations, and nationwide competitive scholarships. At CSU, Chico, many freshmen arrive with private scholarships from local clubs and businesses. We recommend that high school seniors check out every potential scholarship source for all possible assistance.
Scholarships generally require an application and recommendations. It is well worth the effort to apply. Besides potential funding, students contribute to their larger education by learning how to pursue a goal, to write persuasively, and to communicate with donors. Educators call this "life experience."
Faculty Nomination and Selection Process
Lieutenant Robert Merton Rawlins Merit Awards 2017/18
The Lieutenant Robert Merton Rawlins Merit Awards are provided by a CSU, Chico scholarship endowment. Faculty from all colleges are invited to nominate students based on the following considerations:
- seriousness of intent to obtain an education and to increase personal knowledge
- ability to pursue a successful life in any chosen capacity
- evidence of scholarship, extracurricular activities, and outstanding professionally-related and academic accomplishments.
Nominees must be well rounded in all areas. They are reviewed and recommended by the college deans and University Scholarship Committee before being forwarded to President Hutchinson for final selection of recipients.
|Timelines for 2017/18 Nominations

Justice Miscarriage
Alas, a "long" article does not make a "comprehensive" article, let alone a good one.
I am the person who has made this issue a story and, very strangely, the only person not interviewed for it.
The factual errors—and misstatements and misrepresentations by the people who are benefiting from the lawsuit—are too numerous to be catalogued.
One of the attorneys has been quoted by a developmental disability service provider as saying, "I put my kids through college on the Jackson lawsuit." Perhaps that is the appropriate metaphor for the outrage this lawsuit has become.
A simple interview would have uncovered a significant fact: that the bill did not really die, but had so much support that it went into HB 2—completely, in its full effect—as a unanimously approved amendment by the Senate Finance Committee.
The true cause, the actual facts of this terrible miscarriage of justice, of this brutal and callous misappropriation—amounting to some $300,000,000 being stolen from the developmentally disabled—are so appalling, so cynical, so devoid of human compassion that they serve to recruit allies and co-sponsors and supporters every day. I received three more calls yesterday, along with two emails and one more phone call this morning from outraged providers and DD families who want this travesty stopped.
These are not people whose hidden agenda it is to make heroes of American Civil Liberties Union members, trial lawyers and people they perceive to be their "ideological allies." These people don't give a hoot about those kinds of agendas or any agenda of the Santa Fe Reporter. They want justice. They want what is right. They want the truth to be known.
State Sen. Rod Adair
It's always fun to read fulminations, and Zane's was surely one of the most fulminacious. However, in the interest of common decency and a certain regard for the facts, it's worth noting that attacks on individuals who are suffering—even if the cause of their suffering seems suspect—[are], to says the least, unkind. While to criticize elected officials for listening to their constituents' questions shows a disregard for the officials' integrity as well as for their responsibilities. And, while it's easy to sneer at GQ as a source of information, there is a quantity of reputable scientific research regarding the health hazards of cell towers that Zane might have looked into, even if it would have dampened some of his fire.
Sallie Bingham
Santa Fe
Newspapers & TV
Zane's recent article on the Wi-Fi issue is a new all-time low for him. It was just plain nasty. Do you need a hug, Zane? If the facts are truly on one's side, it's not necessary to use ridicule. Character-bashing and ridicule are intimidation techniques used by the arrogant.
For the most part, Zane's thinking simply echoes mainstream thinking, which comes mainly from the newspapers and TV. He's shown little interest in any independent study that might lead him outside of mainstream thinking. The very suggestion that there's anything "out there" to study would probably elicit a comment like "conspiracy theorist." Regardless of the subject matter, if you differ from mainstream thinking, you're labeled and ridiculed.
Zane's tone suggests that the science is settled, he's right and everyone else is just crazy. This is proof he hasn't examined the non-industry studies and evidence. We're talking about a $5 trillion industry. He's also overlooking a major psychological aspect. How many people really want to know the truth if that truth may suggest they should change their lifestyles?
The American public has been systematically deceived for at least 80 years now. As Dresden James said, "When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.''
Michael Blanshan

Industry Control
I guess it is too much to expect accurate reporting from a columnist, but "Media Martyr" makes me wonder if Zane Fischer and I were even at the same meeting. I do agree that Bill Bruno waving his GQ magazine and shouting obscenities was the poster child for bad behavior. But, hey, he publicly apologized. He has the example of many celebrities and elected officials—misbehave and, when it becomes too public, just apologize.
Mr. Fischer states that only 25 people were against the telecommunications ordinance. That is the 25 that attended the meeting and spoke up. What I heard was mostly intelligent, well-educated citizens who had clearly done their homework. Most were concerned that the city was giving up control and neighborhood rights to the industry and not considering possible health effects. He failed to mention that nobody, not one person, spoke in favor of it, except the industry representatives. More and more in the name of profit, industry and corporations are running over our rights and our very health.
It was clear that the City Council did not fully understand the legal issues, and everybody needed to go back and look at individual and neighborhood rights before they gave the industry blanket control. They were wise to table the measure for more study.
Sharon O'Neal Wirtz
Santa Fe
I love and respect the fact that you speak out openly, loudly and freely, and that you have a forum, in "Zane's World" in the Santa Fe Reporter to do so. I myself have similar genetic tendencies. It doesn't matter to me whether or not I agree or disagree with you, the fact that you speak out is a plus.
However, when I speak out, I've done my homework on my topic. You, however, have not when it comes to the issues surrounding Wi-Fi, cell phones and cell towers in your column "Media Martyr." I challenge you to do your homework instead of just using emotionally charged put-downs (as in suggesting certain people may be in need of "psychological therapies").
I personally challenge you to a dialogue about this issue. You have a forum and therefore you have a responsibility to be informed.
As Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin would have said, "Don't trust anyone over 30 who works for the cell phone industry." Second-hand electronic smoke anyone?

Tropical oils, namely palm oil and coconut oil, are widely used in tropical countries for a variety of purposes ranging from cooking to grooming. Although the oils are commonly found in beauty care products (eg, shampoos, conditioners, lotions), they are seen less often in American diets. 1
Palm Oil
Palm oil is the second most consumed vegetable oil in the world. It comes from the tropical plant, Elaeis guineensis . Palm oil is made up of roughly 50% saturated fat, with the ratio of saturated to unsaturated fat being nearly equal. Palm oil is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and beta-carotene . 2,3
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is made up of more than 90% saturated fats. Most of the saturated fats are of the medium-chain variety , which tend to be quickly used by the body to produce energy, rather than accumulating in fat tissue. Some researchers feel that because of its structure, the saturated fat found in coconut oil is not as damaging as other saturated fats, like those found in animal products. 13
Tropical oils may be found in ingredients of various processed foods, such as candy and baked goods. The oils may also be found in their pure or processed liquid forms and as ingredients in skin and hair care products.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Tropical Oils?
Palm Oil
Tropical oils, like palm oil, have been perceived as unhealthy since they may pose a risk of cardiovascular problems. Palm oil has been known to raise cholesterol levels in people who already have high cholesterol . However, the effect of palm oil on cholesterol levels is apparently not so simple. 5 Consuming fresh palm oil may lower the amount of cholesterol made naturally by the body more than other oils, and there is evidence to suggest that palm oil may actually reduce the risk of heart attack and similar cardiovascular events, as well as high blood pressure . 2,3,5,7,12
Palm oil's bad reputation may be due to its unhealthy effects after processing. Palm oil used for cooking is usually processed to an oxidized state. Unlike fresh palm oil, the oxidized version may increase the risk of harm to the liver, lungs, kidneys, reproductive organs, and heart. 2,3
Some researchers have suggested that palm oil (particularly a version called red or refined palm oil) may protect against certain cancers and vitamin A deficiency due to its high beta-carotene content. 2,3,4,5,8,9,10,12 However, the evidence is not solid enough to recommend red palm oil for individuals at risk for these conditions.
Coconut Oil
Like palm oil, coconut oil has been shown in some studies to raise cholesterol in people with already high levels. 6,17 However, a randomized, double-blind study of 40 obese women also found that dietary supplementation with coconut oil does not increase lipid levels in the blood and even reduces abdominal obesity. 18
Although consuming coconut oil may not yield health benefits, topical application has been shown to improve skin and hair conditions. A small, randomized, double-blind controlled trial of 34 patients with xerosis (a skin condition in which the skin is dry, rough, and itchy) found that virgin coconut oil is as effective and safe as mineral oil for moisturizing the skin of adults with mild to moderate xerosis. 15
Another small, double-blind, controlled trial found virgin coconut oil to effectively treat atopic dermatitis (a chronic inflammation of the skin) in adults. 19
A commercially available repellant containing coconut oil and jojoba (a waxy seed commonly used in cosmetics) is reported to be effective in keeping away mites that cause scabies, an infestation of these small insects in the skin. 20
Coconut oil has also been shown to prevent hair damage due to combing compared to other oils, such as mineral and sunflower oils. Researchers believe that its relative high affinity for hair protein and ability to penetrate deep into the hair shaft accounts for coconut oil's superior performance. 16
A study also showed that coconut oil may benefit preterm babies as well. Preterm babies given a coconut oil massage had faster weight gain and growth compared to those given mineral oil massage. 14
Safety Issues
Although tropical oils are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience abdominal discomfort or bloating after consuming them. Other than local irritation, their topical application is also considered generally safe.

CT20: Signing off from the Caribbean...23-Jan-2012
Sussex Sharks are preparing to fly back to the UK this week following the Caribbean T20 and Dave Brooks has been updating us from the West Indies.
23rd January 2012
At the end of the day, our young team has found batting hard on turning wickets against a battery of spinners, and then we got rushed out by a pacy Barbados attack at the fantastic Kensington Oval - a venue littered with history.
That game has also made a minor local celebrity of Lids for "clearing one off the line with a firm header" from a Fidel Edwards bumper. The scoreboard had this great "fire" image running across it whenever the Bajan quicks were raging in and it made for wonderful atmosphere in the ground. Mind you, it also erupted when Dwayne popped a fast full toss from Amjad straight out of the ground over the longest boundary at mid-wicket!
And the crowd was boosted by a goodly number of Sussex fans as the Antigua Few were supplemented by some new recruits - inc Lewis Hatchett's Mum!
Thursday saw the players spend the evening in the company of a dozen or so of our travelling Sussex folk. It was a lovely evening and the lads all put themselves around for a chat. Having done the same in Delhi, we have yet another example of why we are all part of such a fine club.
So the rest of the trip is practise, practise, practise. A great opportunity to reflect on what we have learnt, and what we need to learn. A chance to enjoy time outdoors, on the grass nets at the Kensington Oval, before we land back to the joys of the Farnrise Indoor School next week! Now that is going to be a shock to the system.
Having netted on Thursday, and undertaken a very physically demanding "cricket circuits session" on Friday, we had an afternoon to relax - before netting again on Saturday and Monday.
It has been a great trip despite the results. Our bowling stood up well and we know we have depth now for t20, and it was great to see Beero fizz a few past the outside edge. Our batting struggled but Browny showed real nous and temperament, and Gatt offered another glimpse of his growing potential.
So we sign off with some thank you's. To our sponsors - AFINIS, Travel Places, and Watson Associates - without whom this trip would have been possible; to our travelling band of support; and to the West Indies Cricket Board and associated parties who organised everything excellently, and cared for our every need.
Let us hope we return to these fine Islands soon, they love their cricket with passion, and we love their climate - perfect! And now let's see Dwayne power his way to more runs, into the West Indies t20 side, and back to the UK one day.

- #AS-100 high grade closed-cell foam padding material for superior shock protection
- Internal seams taped and finished
- Paracord zipper pulls (Why use zippers with paracord pulls? Answer: 550 paracord is durable, silent, readily available, and easily field replaceable. A paracord knot grabs well even with gloved hands and are pronounced enough to find in the dark.)
- Stress points double stitched, Bartacked or "Box-and-X" stitched for added strength
- MAXPEDITION's nylon fabric is treated with Dupont Teflon for superb water and grime resistance.
- To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Allow gear to dry naturally.
- Do not machine wash.
- Do not use detergent or bleach.

I am definitely making this! But, not as a bar.. I'm going to keep it as bookcases, and just make a closing bookcase trunk for my son's room. I think I'll do the outside in a fun and funky fabric to match my son's personality. ^_^
Awesome idea!

I believe this hack has been hacked on French telly…
The idea is great!!
I've seen this done with painted wood paneling applied to the exterior and I liked that a great deal. The leather upholstery is just a whole added level of awesome. Kudos!
I saw some awesome trunk bars in a somewhat expensive furniture store and i fell in love with them. There was also a smaller trunk that acted as a hidden office, complete with bench since they were soooo out of my price range i immediately thought IKEA HACK!!! But unfortunately i didnt get a chance to take pictures of the different bars on the store so i had an idea how to cut the shelves and assemble, but this one is cool too. I do intend on visiting the store again and snap some shots, they cant arrest me for inspiration can they? if anyone else makes this, please post pics!! btw, the trunks i saw were more "aged", had a more vintage look to them, darker wood and dark leather and vintage locks but this one looks cool also, more modern and still a bit old style congrats!!!
Love it!!!!!!! Great execution! I'm going to make the same one, but with brown leather!
Although white vinyl or leather might not be everyone's taste – I love it. The only thing that would have made this better is if it was alligator embossed vinyl. The execution looks impeccable. I would love to take a similar hack on, but don't think I would nearly be as successful. Certainly, at least a finalist for hack of the year!
It's good to know if this trunk bar cabinet has castor wheels underneath to make it movable and easy to put in your decide place if ever you need it. If you have celebration, you just push it to the place near your visitors so that they can get what they want easily.
From the post: "Finally wheels are screwed to the bottom." So I guess that yess, there are.
Brilliant. This is a hack worth copying.
What not to love??? ) Agreed Hack of the Year!!
Hack of the year.
excellent idea so much, creativness put in, this could also be used for the kithen or bedroom, thanks for sharing!!!!!
I hate to rain on all your giddy excitement, but I think this is is really UGLY.
Looks like the kind of thing that you'd find in a pimp's place.
Tacky, tacky, tacky….
If you don't have anything nice to say don't anything at all. This was very creative and deserves kudos. Don't rain on someone ellse's parade just because it's not your taste. They made it for them not you. Keep your negative comments to yourself, no one appreciates it.
Best hack of the year. Love it.
Incredibly clever and cool looking as well. One of the best hacks I've ever seen on here, certainly one of the most original.
What a great idea! I am so making this!!! And so reasonable too!
sexier than a louis vuitton trunk!!!!!!!!!!!!
and louis vuitton's trunk are their only product that i can considerate in their catalogue.
i vote it as candidate for hack of the year
That is the best.
Best hack I've seen in ages – thank you for sharing – absolutely amazing.
Now *that's* a hack! Brilliant.
This is a very cool piece but can it top over and brake all your glasses ? I mean how sturdy is it when shut up ? Woman that has grandchildren wants to know ……..
Leave it to the Europeans to come up with something original, classy and fun!
Bravo bravo, this is going to be HACK OF THE YEAR!!!! So doing this for when I move to a new place. Magnifique!!!!!
Great idea and great execution. Very creative.
Nice hardware.
Amy – Chicago, IL – USA
Sweet hack!
Wow, amazing!
this is GREAT!! now show us how you did it and where you got the material PLEASE!!!
VERY cool!
This is crazy sexy
Neked aztán van fantáziád! Gratulálok hozzá!
Agree with BMH – best thing I've seen on this blog in a while!
Now THAT is a hack worthy of the front page! Very nice look for an untraditional piece.
RSS Feed: Trunk Bar. Me: What the… is a Trunk Bar? Me: Drool…
That is AMAZING! I really like the concept and it seems to keep everything organized and you can store in a small space. Great hack!
very very nice… I like the idea, which I think is a bit of a groundbreaker… who would have thought to make something like this, and in such a nice finish? only one comment though…. where is the ice compartment ?
I'm not sure how the lichting works, presumably you are using dioder/led cabinet lighting, with a cable being fed through the back.. might I suggest using a dioder in combination with a reed switch (like on refrigerators) running off a 12 volt battery pack? you would not be tied to any sockets that way…
in all, I think this should be a contender for the hack of the month, just because of how original this approach to making a bar is.
Probably the best hack I've seen in a long time now, and by far one of the funniest! WELL DONE!
But where did you get the metal pieces to make it look like a trunk?
They look like chair tacks:
The corners and latches can be found in any hardware store, or maybe Lee Valley Tools if you're feeling fancy:
Agreed, this was really clever!

More about Simply Amish
Amish in the City. The Simply Amish story began in the 1970s, when bell-bottoms and short shorts could be spotted just about everywhere —
except in good Amish homes. Across the nation, a new age of convenience had arrived. Microwave ovens were becoming common-place, and fashion-forward housewives were ordering the latest kitchen appliances in a wide range of deceptively tasteful sounding colors, like Avocado Green and Harvest Gold. But in a time of rapid change and progress, no one in the city could buy a beautiful piece of Amish furniture without a long trip to the country. Until a couple of guys from the country came up with a novel idea.
The Beginning. It all started in 1979, when Kevin Kauffman and his brothers joined their dad to learn the finer points of furniture construction on their family farm. Putting his experience to good use, Kevin soon joined forces with his uncle, John Mast, to start a company that would pursue a much larger vision. Together, the two partners eventually linked an entire network of traditional Amish workshops with a modern distribution system, and furniture lovers everywhere rejoiced.
The Rest is History Joined later by John's brother, Butch, and a fourth partner, Kent Patterson, they soon hit their stride, transforming an innovative furniture distribution system into a great American brand. And Simply Amish was born. By handling orders and warehousing finished products, Simply Amish solved two problems — it gave the outside world access to the work of skilled Amish craftsmen, and it allowed the Amish to work undisturbed, making beautiful wood furniture. Built to order. And made to last.

Big battery EVs take heat
3 comments post a comment
Everyone's picking on EVs and their big batteries. Is it overblown?
The latest news from the world of electric cars can't be good for EV battery makers.
First, there was Toyota Motor Corp.'s recent announcement that it will cut its sales targets for the all-electric eQ city car in the coming year. In truth, Toyota's planned sales numbers for the eQ had already been miniscule, but the remarks that accompanied the announcement were the real problem. According to an article from Reuters.com, the giant automaker admitted it had misread the ability of battery technology to meet consumer demands."The current capabilities of electric vehicles do not meet society's needs, whether it may be the distance the cars can run, or the costs, or how it takes a long time to charge," said Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota's vice chairman, in the Reuters story.
Then there was the September report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which questioned the value of tax credits for electric vehicles. The report, titled "Effects of Federal Tax Credits for the Purchase of Electric Vehicles," took special aim at pure electric cars with big batteries.
Finally, there were the recent stories about the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S. Articles from greecarreports.com chronicled an ongoing battle between Nissan and some owners of its Leaf electric cars, as a result of those owners complaining that their batteries were suffering from premature range loss in hot climates. Meanwhile, a story in The Wall Street Journal suggested that Tesla Motors Inc., which makes electric cars with giant lithium-ion battery packs, warned investors that it is cutting its revenue targets for 2012 because it has fallen behind its production goals for the Model S electric car.
Some of this could be written off to the media's over-zealous, microscopic examination of the electric car business, of course. But not all. You can't blame the media when the sales figures of electric cars are so disturbingly low. The Leaf is a case in point: Nissan sold only 395 Leafs in June, followed by 685 in July, according to greencarreports.com.

DUBAI: Bowlers impress on Day One against Lancashire25-Mar-2013
Sussex were rampant with the ball on Day One of their Two-Day match against Lancashire at the ICC Global Cricket Academy in Dubai today, as they dismissed their opponents for 141.
Jimmy Anyon was the star of the show for Sussex as he took 4 for 14 and narrowly missed out on a hat-trick against the County of his birth.
But the men from Old Trafford hit back later in the day and with the agreement between the two sides that Lancashire would bat all day today regardless of wickets, and Sussex repeating the format tomorrow, they ended the day on 301, effectively 12 wickets down from 91 overs.
Sussex has reduced their opponents to losing seven wickets for 37 runs in 15 overs during the afternoon session as they slipped from 104 for 3 to 141 all out, before Paul Horton (83 not out) and Stephen Moore (46 not out) made the most of their second opportunity at the crease following earlier scores of four and ten.
Trialist Andrew Miller was again in good form as he took four wickets across the day whilst the left-arm seam of Chris Liddle also picked up a couple of wickets.
Sussex's batsmen will get the chance to impress tomorrow when they take to the crease and bat for 90 overs.

Alan R. MulallyApril 5, 2011
Engineer and business leader
Contemporary inductee
A native Californian — he was born in Oakland on Aug. 4, 1945 — Alan Mulally graduated from the University of Kansas in 1969 with both bachelor's and master's degrees in aeronautical and astronautical engineering. He was immediately hired by Boeing as an engineer.
During a 37-year career with the airplane company, Mulally worked on the 727, 737, 747 and led the cockpit design team on the 757-767 project. This revolutionary design featured the first all-digital flight deck in a commercial aircraft, the first two-man crew for long-range aircraft and a common type rating for pilots on two different aircraft.
Mulally held a number of leadership positions with Boeing. He worked on the company's 777 program first as director of engineering then after September 1992, as vice president and general manager. He later was named vice president of engineering and is known and recognized for elevating Phil Condit's "Working Together" philosophy through and beyond the 777 program.
In 1994, Mulally was named senior vice president of airplane development in charge of all airplane development activities, flight test operations and certificationas well as serving as government technical liaison. In 1997, Boeing named Mulally president of the information, space and defense systems and senior vice president. The next year, he was named president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Chief executive officer duties were added in 2001.
Mulally was largely credited with Boeing's resurgence against Airbus in the mid-2000s. For his performance at Boeing, Aviation Week & Space Technology named Mulally as person of the year for 2006.
On Sept. 5, 2006, Mulally was named president and CEO of Ford Motor Co. He took over "The Way Forward" restructuring plan at Ford to turn around its losses and declining market share. Mulally's cost cutting initiatives, which included cutting dividends, led to the company's first profitable quarter in two years.
In 2006, Mulally led the effort for Ford to borrow $23.6 billion by mortgaging all of the company's assets. Mulally said that he intended to use the money to finance a major overhaul and provide "a cushion to protect for a recession or other unexpected event."
At the time, the loan was interpreted as a sign of desperation, but is now widely credited with stabilizing Ford's financial position. Because of his achievements at Ford, Mulally was included in the 2009 Time 100 list. The entry, written by Steve Ballmer, says, "[Mulally] understands the fundamentals of business success as well as any business leader I know."
A member of the United States National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of England's Royal Academy of Engineering, Mulally previously served as co-chair of the Washington Competitiveness Council and sat on the advisory boards of NASA, the University of Washington, the University of Kansas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory Board. He also served as a past president of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and is a former president of its Foundation. Additionally, Mulally served as a past chairman of the Board of Governors of the Aerospace Industries Association.

"It's like riding a bike—you never forget." There are so many situations applicable to this oft-repeated pearl of wisdom—sex, serial killing, soufflés—but I would never guess skateboarding.
I still have scars from skateboarding as a teenager, some physical and some mental. It's pretty faint now, but for many years there was a strange patch of dimply and saggy skin on my wrist from where it was trapped between my deck and the sidewalk as I used my full body weight to execute a blistering, g-force-defying turn after flying off the stairs next to the school gymnasium.
If the phrase were "it's like crashing a bike—you never forget," it would feel more applicable to skateboarding. In part, though, that's because of the mental damage. I had good access to a half-pipe near my house, but it was ruled by older kids in the neighborhood who knew about secret things like punk rock, marijuana and how to actually ride a skateboard. I know, I know—it sounds like a fast track to skate skills, addiction and years of musical bitterness, but in reality it was expedient only in terms of getting my ass kicked.
Thus the mental scars.
By the time my runty determination was tolerated around the half-pipe, I had resolved myself to never really developing as a skateboarder. I had noticed, in fact, that riding a bike was easier and orders of magnitude more efficient as transportation. I still kept my skateboard and, when needed, could kick turn my way across clean, level surfaces well enough to convince anyone who didn't know better that I was actually kind of good. On a day with perfect wind conditions and with God pulling marionette strings, I might have managed an ollie. But I was a half-pipe weenie and still thought of grinds as a reference to coffee beans. In other words, I was a 16-year-old skate poser.
Strangely, 17 years later, I can still kick turn well enough to make small children, the ignorant and elderly assume that I can skate, but it's a lie.
According to scientists Peer Wulff and Bill Wisden, who announced the reason this past July of why no one forgets how to ride a bike, I'm still good at the things I was always good at and I still suck at the things I always sucked at because of a particular kind of nerve in the brain. The molecular layer interneuron apparently translates learned motor skills into a code that then gets pasted into the cerebellum. What we think of as specialized motor skills aren't really any more complex for the brain to manage than, say, walking or brushing our teeth—including skiing, race-car driving and skateboarding.
This is excellent news for the science fiction buffs among us who cannot wait to be able to stick flash drives in the backs of their necks and instantly be able to fly a helicopter or bust out some kickboxing. But it's also good news for middle-aged guys like me who wake up thinking ridiculous thoughts like, "dude, maybe I should start skating again."
I don't have any geriatric Tony Hawk fantasies or anything, but I have gotten into snowboarding in recent years and I've noticed that my physique runs in a cycle counter to those of many of my friends: They are lithe and graceful with summer athletics and become doughy after Thanksgiving. I tend to do more of a Jack Black summer and a Bruce Lee winter or, you know, something along those lines.
For cardiovascular exercise that could keep me in shape through the summer season, but also hone my snowboarding skills, nothing beats skateboarding. Thanks to my interneurons, I don't even have to start from scratch—I've got a leg up via the brain code I carved when I was 16.
Skating and snowboarding definitely complement each other as skill sets, according to the experts at Santa Fe's Skate School, and skating can offer a comprehensive workout as well.
"If you're running the banks and ramps at our school or you're out at the skate park, the only thing that's not getting a great workout is your arms," David Price, one of Skate School's main instructors, says. Price, who does downhill long board racing professionally around the world—routinely achieving speeds of 50 mph and more—says long boards are surging in popularity, even among casual commuters and campus cruisers.
"The board is longer, there are bigger, softer wheels, different turning dynamics and a more stable ride, but you're definitely working your legs and your cardiovascular system when you ride around town," Price says. Not coincidentally, Skate School offers long boarding lessons as well.
But what about the danger? If I was a half-pipe weenie at 16, what about now that my body doesn't exactly spring back from injury like a Viagra-addled monkey?
"One of the first things we teach here is how to fall," Price says. "There's a difference between falling and crashing: Crashing is wiping out and getting hurt; falling is having the proper safety gear and having the tools to make it effective. Skating isn't any more dangerous than snowboarding or football or any other common sport."
Dropping into Skate School for a neural tune-up and a fresh batch of cerebral coding could be just the ticket. The lessons—even factoring the cost of gear if I decide to get serious—aren't any more than dicking around at the gym and it's bound to be a hell of a lot more fun.
Of course, there's always the chance that it's not really skateboarding that's embedded in my neurons—I might just have never forgotten how to be a poser.

I placed an order on September 3rd for 6 books. 5 copies of one book, and 1 copy of another book. I received 3 copies of the first book on September 17th, and then the other 2 of the same book a week later, on the 24th.

No answer.

Therese Holmqvist: But you have to have confirmation on the package leaving your facilities?
Hitesh S.: We understand your concern but unfortunately we do not have an tracking details for package.
Hitesh S.: I would request you to wait till Monday.
Therese Holmqvist: Thank you for absolutely nothing!
Hitesh S.: I am really sorry but you should receive the order till 2nd October.

Anti-Black attitudes are increasing. Fifty-one percent of all Americans, an increase of 3% over four years, now express such attitudes, according to a recent Associated Press poll. So why has the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to challenge the Voting Rights Act of 1965? The case from Shelby County, Alabama questions whether Congress exceeded its authority when it voted in 2006 to renew Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
Voting rights are not guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution-that right is granted to the states. However, the Shelby case does not contest the constitutionality of the voting law itself, which makes it illegal to enforce any voting procedure or election law that discriminates against voters because of their race. Section 5 requires jurisdictions found to have prior voting right violations to be pre-approved by the U.S. Attorney General or the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC before making changes in election laws or rules.
The Shelby case, along with a case challenging college affirmative action at the University of Texas, makes this year's Supreme Court term momentous for civil rights. The common theme in both cases is whether a 1960s era remedy for racial discrimination is still needed-and justified today. The court's conservative justices have made it clear they are troubled by Section 5, which puts the South under special scrutiny. Section 5's pre-review requirement currently applies not only to Alabama, but the states of Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Virginia, South Dakota and Texas. Reportedly, it also covers certain counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Michigan and New Hampshire.
(In the 2008 presidential election, the African American Voter Registration, Education and Participation Project (AAVREPP) found discrimination and voting irregularities even in polling places in South Central Los Angeles. This year, AAVREPP again launched a successful get-out-the-vote (GOTV) campaign that contributed to the large voter turnout in that area.)
In its petition, Shelby County argues that Section 5's pre-clearance requirement violates the 10th Amendment and Article IV of the U.S. Constitution. Both provisions grant states the power to regulate elections. In passing the law (Section 5), Congress relied on the 15th Amendment which prohibits states from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race, color or previous condition of servitude, such as slavery.
The Shelby County petition also claims, -and three years ago Chief Justice John C. Roberts agreed-"Things have changed in the south." The petition argues, "Voter turnout and registration now approach parity….blatant discrimination, evasions of federal decrees are rare, and minority candidates hold office at unprecedented levels." It further charges that the federal government is still relying on data more than 35-years old that fail to account for current political conditions.
George E. Curry, National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), Editor-in-Chief, comments, "Surprisingly, the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which describes itself as, "a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the economic empowerment of African American communities through entrepreneurship," filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting Shelby County's position opposing continued oversight under the Voting Rights Act. In doing so, the Black Chamber aligned itself with right-wing anti-affirmative groups, who also filed friend-of-the-court briefs with the Supreme Court opposing affirmative action in the University of Texas case.
The Black Chamber's campaign brief declared, "….Section 5 is no longer necessary to combat widespread and persistent discrimination in voting and now, perversely serves as an impediment to racial neutrality in voting and the empowerment of state and local officials who represent minority constituents." Like its right-wing cohorts, the Chamber too, "rejects the assumption underlying Congress's reauthorization of Section 5 that the exceptional circumstances which justify close federal oversight of electoral practices of many states and locations in 1965 and 1975 persist today. They do not."
This kind of post-racial rationalization bolsters the Tea Party and its wrongheaded allies throughout the country who, do not publicly proclaim, but apparently ardently believe that Blacks and other people of color, no longer have a right to complain because they now enjoy access, continuing largesse and the same benefits accorded white Americans. (If you believe this, please contact me about purchasing a few snow-capped mountains in Florida.)
Before reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act in 2006, Congress considered arguments of opponents who, like Shelby County, argued that there is no longer a need for continued federal oversight of select jurisdictions. The Justice Department quoted findings by Congress that while blatant voter discrimination had been reduced, vestiges of discrimination in voting continue to exist as demonstrated by second (and now third) generation barriers constructed to prevent minority voters from fairly participating in the electoral process. (The prolonged and unprecedented attacks on President Obama and undisguised voter suppression efforts leading up to this year's presidential election leave no doubt as to the broad-based appeal of these obscene tactics.)
Since 1982, there were approximately 800 court rulings favorable to voters of color, according to friend-of-the-court briefs by civil rights organizations, including the NAACP, Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union. Approximately 81% of these rulings were brought against Section 5-covered jurisdictions!
Most Blacks strongly support the need for Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act because they experience continuing race-based discrimination in their everyday lives.

Skin cancer — the abnormal growth of skin cells — most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
You can reduce your risk of skin cancer by limiting or avoiding exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Checking your skin for suspicious changes can help detect skin cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection of skin cancer gives you the greatest chance for successful skin cancer treatment.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is a form of cardiomyopathy. This is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens due to genetic problems with the muscle's structure. As the muscle thickens, it must work harder to pump blood, which strains the heart muscle. Sometimes, the thickened muscle gets in the way of the blood leaving the heart and causes a blockage. This blockage can cause the nearby heart valve, called the mitral valve, to become leaky. HCM can cause uneven muscle growth which can cause the heart to pump in a disorganized way. Rarely, it can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can even be fatal.
There are 3 main types of cardiomyopathy:
- Dilated
Hypertrophic—can be divided into 2 types:
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)—the muscle between the two valves of the heart becomes so enlarged that it obstructs the blood flow in the heart
- Non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy—non-obstructive form, the enlarged muscle is not large enough to block blood flow
- Restrictive
Causes of HCM include:
- A gene that causes the abnormal structure of the heart muscle. It can be inherited or can happen from changes in the genes over time.
- A defective gene that controls growth of the heart muscle
- A viral infection
In people over age 60, HCM is likely to be caused by or related to high blood pressure.
Risk Factors
HCM can occur in people of all ages. But, it is usually most severe when it occurs in younger people.
These factors increase your chance of developing this condition. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Having a family member with HCM
- Being over age 60 and having hypertension
Symptoms include:
- Chest pain
- Fainting, particularly during exercise
- Lightheadedness, particularly following exercise
- Rapid heartbeat
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- General fatigue
- Tiring easily during exercise or activity
- Shortness of breath when lying down
These symptoms can be caused by some of the side effects of the condition, including heart arrhythmias. The blocked or reduced blood flow is usually the cause of symptoms like lightheadedness, fainting, and difficulty breathing.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Your body's response to exercise may be tested. This can be done with a stress test.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Your heart activity may be monitored. This can be done with a portable electrocardiogram (EKG).
The diagnosis is only made in people who do not have other causes of cardiomyopathy such as amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, coronary or valvular heart disease.
Those with HCM are at an increased risk of sudden death. However, many individuals with HCM live a normal, healthy life with few symptoms.
Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing complications. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Medications may be used to help maintain proper and regular heart function. These may include beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers.
If you have an arrhythmia, you may need anti-arrhythmic drugs. You may also need blood-thinning medication.
The thickened portion of the heart muscle is cut and removed. This may be needed if you have severely blocked blood flow from the heart.
If the mitral valve is leaking, surgery may also be done to repair or replace the mitral valve.
Alcohol Septal Ablation
Alcohol is injected into the arteries of the thickened portion of the heart. This helps to reduce the blockage in the heart and improve blood flow out of the heart.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD)
This ICD is implanted if you are at increased risk for sudden death.
To help reduce your chances of getting HCM, take the following steps:
- If you have a family member who has been diagnosed with HCM, then you and other family members should be screened for the condition.
- If family history puts you at higher risk for HCM, then regular echocardiograms may reduce the risk of death or complications from HCM.
- If you have high blood pressure, take medications and follow other instructions as directed by your physician.

During the Baroque Art Period, art patrons called for a more dramatic and emotional design which, unbeknown to the artists, was displayed as a means of impressing visitors by expressing triumphant power and control. Being the art historian that John is, he drew correlations between the Baroque era and modern fashion, and drew inspiration from the grandiose and opulent Cortona palaces. Built on an exquisite and decadent Louis the 14th hexagonal heel, the laced-pump Cortona combined soft stamped suedes with robust patent tips. Perfect for those who understand the delicacies of visual curves and the contrapposto of royal materials. There's no fashion like old fashion.
Instagram @fluevog #vog_cortona
Who needs "conservative work shoes"?
These are REALLY comfortable - I was worried the heel would be hard, but you don't notice it. I am usually a 10 in most other shoes, and I wear a 10 in my Babycakes, but I went with my gut and ordered a 10.5 in the Cortona for some extra room in the toe box. Glad I did - the 10.5 fits perfectly. These do seem to be a little narrower than other 'Vogs, so keep that in mind. I'm considering putting a small arch support in them because the arch on these is a little nonexistent.
The tooled suede detailing is perfect - just enough unique style peeking out from under my trousers without seeming totally anti-corporate! I SO wish I could own a pair in that gorgeous burgundy, but our dress code only allows black right now.
If you have a chance to grab these while they're on sale, DO IT! It's a total bargain and these shoes feel like they'll be comfortable for years! :-)

Home > Hughes Net > Missouri > E > Elston
Satellite Internet in Elston, MO
Rural residents have limited options when it comes to Internet, but that doesn't mean that you should have to pick a last resort Internet solution. Satellite Internet is a lifesaver for people who live in sparsely-populated areas because it is faster than dial up, and more widely available than DSL.
The great thing about satellite Internet is that there are few question marks.
Wondering about availability? HughesNet is available to anyone in Elston in the contiguous United States who has a clear view of the southern sky.
Wondering about affordability? HughesNet has different services and packages that fit every Elston family's needs.
Wondering about accessibility? HughesNet doesn't use your phone line like dial up providers and DSL providers do, so you have an always-on Internet connection.
Dial up providers are a cheap way to get Internet service, but you'll pay for it in the long run with slow dial up speeds and a spotty connection.
Satellite vs Dial up speeds
Take a look at how dial up speeds compare to satellite Internet speeds with HughesNet service in Elston:
- Downloading a .5mb image: With a dial up connection, downloading a .5mb imagine could take over a minute. HughesNet can download the same image in 2 seconds.
- Downloading a 1mb video clip: With a dial up connection, downloading a 1mb video clip could take a well over two minutes. HughesNet can download the same video clip in 4 seconds.
- Downloading a 4mb MP3 audio file: With a dial up connection, this download could take almost ten minutes. HughesNet can download the same audio file in 16 seconds.
- Downloading a 25mb software upgrade: With a dial up connection, this download could take more than an hour. HughesNet can download the same software upgrade in under two minutes.
DSL providers aren't available everywhere, and your Internet speeds are affected by your distance from the provider's local office. That means that if you have the misfortune of living further away from the Elston local office, you have the misfortune of having slow Internet speeds.

Three bones come together at the elbow. One bone makes the upper arm and two make the lower arm. One of the lower arm bones may slip out of place at the elbow. This is called a pulled elbow. It is a common elbow injury in young children.
A pulled elbow can be easily treated. It does not lead to long-term problems.
Ligaments help to keep your bones in place. These ligaments are loose in young children. Bones are also not fully formed in young children. These factors make it easier for the bones to slip out of place.
An elbow pull happens with a sudden jerk, tug, or blow to the elbow. In children, even a small amount of force may cause the injury.
Risk Factors
These types of injuries are most common in children 1-6 years of age.
Actions that may increase the risk of dislocation include:
- Pulling a child up by the hands
- Swinging a child by their arms
- Jerking a child's arm
- Breaking a fall with the arm
- Rolling over in an awkward way
Children that have had a pulled elbow are more likely to dislocate their elbow again.
Symptoms may include:
- Pain at elbow right after pulling or trauma to elbow
- Child refuses to use arm
- Arm is kept close to child's side
- Child resists straightening the arm
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms. A physical exam will be done.
The diagnosis will most likely be done during the physical exam. Your doctor may also look for signs of broken bone such as swelling and tenderness.
The doctor will be able to move the bone back in place.
For some children the pain will go away once the bone is back in place. Your child may also be able to easily move their arm within a few minutes.
For other children, it may take a few tries to move the bone back into position. Treatment may also be delayed in younger children with mild pain. In these cases, your child may continue to have discomfort after the bone is moved back into place. To make your child more comfortable, your doctor may recommend:
- Medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
- Sling to rest the elbow for a few days
- Applying ice to the elbow
Some dislocations can be prevented. To help reduce your child's chance of a partial dislocation:
- Avoid jerking or tugging your child's arm
- Avoid swinging your child by their arms or wrists
- Lift young children from under their arms

UNIVERSITY - Tea Day 206-Apr-2013
At Tea - Sussex are all out for 297 with Ben Brown the last wicket to fall for an excellent 85. Earlier in the afternoon Brown and Gatting, with a better than a run a ball 61, put on 101 for the 6th wicket. Gatting was eventually caught by Ratnayake off the bowling of Lester for 61, but Brown went on to form partnerships with both Chris Jordan and Jimmy Anyon before falling on the stroke of tea.
Toby Lester was the pick of the bowlers for Loughborough with 4-48.
Below Ben Brown in full flow this afternoon.
