EpiCast Report: Glaucoma - Epidemiology Forecast to 2023SummaryGlaucoma is a common, asymptomatic group of eye diseases that causes damage to the eye's optic nerve, resulting in progressive, irreversible vision loss. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, especially in elderly people. Glaucoma is generally categorized as open-angle glaucoma (OAG), angle-closure glaucoma (ACG), secondary glaucoma, and congenital glaucoma. Other less common types of glaucoma include normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, and pigmentary glaucoma (NEI, 2014b). Although there are many types of glaucoma, the two most important types are OAG and ACG, with OAG accounting for about 80-90% of all glaucoma cases (Mayo Clinic, 2014). OAG and ACG can be primary (primary open-angle glaucoma [POAG] and primary angle-closure glaucoma [PACG], respectively) or secondary, depending on the cause.GlobalData epidemiologists forecast that the total prevalent cases of glaucoma in the 7MM will grow by 14.60% over the next decade, from 13,748,430 total prevalent cases in 2013 to 15,761,674 total prevalent cases in 2023, with almost 60% of the total prevalent cases occurring in the US and Japan together.The increase in the number of total prevalent cases of glaucoma in the 7MM can be attributed to changing population demographics in the respective markets. However, further epidemiological research is warranted given that there is a paucity of national and international data evaluating the prevalence and trends of glaucoma worldwide. There is also a need to clearly demarcate the glaucoma population in each clinical type, as currently available epidemiological literature fails to clearly demarcate different glaucoma populations.Scope

Hi guys!
hope youre all having a great start to the new year! - enjoying some goodies gifted to you for xmas, hopefully ;) new years resolution? well, ive given up completely on the " be more organized one" ive tried that i think every year for the last 10 and its never been a success. my " be organized" note to self just gets lost somewhere and nothing changes. HA.. so this year, my resolution is to create a tiny little sliver of time for myself. each week. whether its to go for a drive, go to the gym without a time pressure to get to work, paint my nails, do nothing, create art, or sit here and blog. just quiet time for me and my thoughts, i need that.
my new best friend, amazon alexa. is keeping me quite happy and helping me manage life way more than my "be organized note to self resolutions" ever have! i checked my to-do list on her this morning and was told i need to do a blog post on our plans for 2017 - so here we go! thanks alexa!
last year i played around quite a bit with all the new " healthy" fragrance oils that have recently become available - and i definitely enjoyed using them, feeling confident i could bring out some really unique blends and yet still keep you all free from harmful ingredients. so, that was fun for me, and hopefully you too. for whatever reason - 2016 had me using a lot of florals and a lot of sweet stuff. I do however, really really miss my essential oil only blends. im craving them. just as the mood i was in during the holidays was a lot of sweet scents - im craving earthy deep blends, and clean fresh herbacious blends and maybe a mix of the two. you can expect some mash up scents of two different bars combined (the first one is currently out - dig+joost) literally its half dig, half joost. also some flashback bars from somewhere in the past ( currently accepting suggestions) ;) and some new scents and bars that youve never before had.as always, as you know i get bored easily. heh.
ok so…our annual release of " sweeties garden" is underway, .. and some of the other seasonal soaps that pop in every year might become annual as well. one of my favorite floral bars from the past is going to be making an appearance this year as well. i havent made it in years and i am really excited to bring a batch of it out. dont ask me what it is - its a secret ;)
speaking of secrets - everyone wants to know - are the meltdowns staying?? yes, yes they are. thats no secret. and its no secret that they have become one of my favorite things ive ever created. im one of those people that seem unable to take my time in the morning.. i am rushing from the minute my eyes pop open at 5:30 until they close at night ( very late night typically lol) , so the meltdowns have become such a great thing to me - as i can put my lotion on while in the shower and not feel that i am spending all sorts of time on myself getting ready to leave the house .. as i am always in a hurry to get on with my day. plus, im killing like three birds with one stone! im exfoliating - im applying lotion - and i smell amazing after! ha. so if you havent checked out the meltdowns.. please take the chance and do so. i love them so much i have decided to keep them around this year - even though they were initially brought out to be a ltd holiday product, i just cant imagine my shower without them now.
the meltdowns were born out of a desire i had -to create a shower lotion. I was messing around with it last year, some of you even received samples to try, and the feedback on it was awesome. so i was going to do that this year for the holidays… but the idea of having more packaging to mess with was making me crazy. i already felt we used too much plastic at bg, so i was looking for a way to to cut back on the footprintt i felt bg was leaving too heavy on the planet. we had so many different scrubs and lotions and such, and of course holiday time always meant more - and the packaging for those just seems so bulky and wasteful. i was determined to find a way to get a lotion/scrub out - that required minimal packaging. hence, the meltdowns. and to kickoff their launch to the line officially, they are on special this week for 5.50 … yep. in fact, speaking of price, im hoping since ive decided to bring them to the line, that i can knock down the price permanently, since i will be ordering larger qty of the stuff i need to get them made. i will keep you posted on that as soon as i get pricing worked out with the new order coming in.
You also may have noticed the packaging on the soaps changing. we did away with the rubber band, although reusable, at the end of the day - eventually that thing is going to wind up in a dump site somewhere, and id rather see a piece of paper go there than a rubber band. i might even switch up the soap packaging once more. ive got an idea im currently working on. we will see. ive also got a few things ill be switching around as far as seasonal soaps - so many soaps have come out as the years have gone on …. so many are so loved, but i cant possibly keep up with production on all of them, all year round - keeping on top of that many ingredients and that many different things to squeeze into production, on top of all of the different products we make now, it would be incredibly difficult. so bear with me as the line may change somewhat - but rest assured, the staple bars will always be here (crud, rooibos, frenchy, monster chunk mint, bar none, low tide, fij… and…. bar 21) , thats right - im happy to announce bar 21 has made its comeback to the line as a staple soap. so for all of you missing the shampoo bar - get your hands on bar 21 and give it a whirl. it really does a fantastic job as being a shampoo bar.
ok, i think that about wraps things up here - oh and just a heads up - ive already started cracking away at the new stuff coming out - if you stop in the shop youll see 4 new ltd soaps and a few different sorts of meltdowns. Oh, and the signature scent that everyone fell in love with over the holidays is back in a solid lotion form. oooh….and i almost forgot…we have some patchouli + vanilla wax tarts currently out! which are currently making my house smell AMAZING btw. its making the work from home day i am having, an evenwayawesomer one. sitting here with my pup, my coffee, and filling you all in on what to expect this year at bg. If you have any suggestions, of course id love to hear them. so feel free to comment on the Facebook post - maybe some long lost soaps we havent made in a while? favorite scents that have come and gone? etc… im all ears!
until next,

The way I see it, the basic message of both presidential candidates boils down to this.
Vote for me – or we're all gonna die.
Why do they insist on scaring the pants off everybody?
During the Cold War, Reagan was reassuring. During the Depression, FDR said we have nothing to fear but fear itself. And yet this year, both Bush and Kerry have basically told us to be afraid – be very afraid.
I believe their hype has given America a false sense of insecurity, which is why I went door-to-door the other day, offering my fellow citizens some much-needed perspective.
I did some research, and did you know the best way to improve your homeland security is to do some serious remodeling?
Every year, the toilet and its accomplice, the tub, cause nearly a quarter of a million serious injuries.
Nearly 20,000 are assaulted by their ceiling fans, while dishwashers bring down another 7,500.
For some reason, it's hard to frighten people with a cotton pullover. Most were extremely dismissive of my everyday dangers.
Hartman: In this world, 2.8 million deaths a year.
Neighbor: From dust alone?
Hartman: From dust alone.
Neighbor: I don't believe it.
Hartman: What do you think? I'm making this up?
It's just human nature to be more concerned with unpredictable events than everyday life.
Of course, I don't expect the candidates to start taking each other to task over dust bunnies and curling irons. And I certainly don't mean to trivialize terror.
I just think it's important to remember, as the politics of fear come to a head this month, that odds are, if anything bad is going to happen to you in the next four years, it's going to happen right where you're sitting.

People call 911 for all kinds of real or perceived problems. There are fires, car crashes, car thefts, burglaries, heists, heart attacks, poisonings, floods, mudslides, missing pets, drownings, shootings, stabbings, domestic disputes, cats in trees, rowdy kids, loud music and even shortages of ketchup in fast food restaurants.
A few days ago police in Hannibal, MO twice responded to peace disturbance
calls because someone in Hannibal's city hall smelled really bad.
"A Hannibal officer was called to 320 Broadway Tuesday morning in
reference to peace disturbance. The officer was contacted by several
employees who complained of a subject emitting an odor that was deemed
to be significantly noxious and offensive," said Lt. John Zerbonia of
the Police Department, according to the Hannibal Courier-Post.
According to Hannibal Municipal ordinance 16-162, subjects can be cited for peace disturbance because
of a "noxious and offensive" odor.
The stinker, whose identity was not revealed by authorities, was no stranger to city hall. "He's
been here on numerous occasions," said the city staffer. "He did not
appear to be conducting any business at city hall. He was just sitting."
According to Zerbonia, the "subject was asked (by the officer) to leave the premises and attend to the issue."
While the individual left city hall, the story doesn't end there. At 10:26
a.m., police received another peace disturbance call, this time from 113
N. Third St. "After leaving 320 Broadway the subject entered a neighboring business and was
asked to leave there as well, due to the offensive odor," said Zerbonia.

Battle of wills: Builder who received £500k in pensioner's will wins court battle
A BUILDER who cleaned out a lonely pensioner's gutters for free and was rewarded with a £500,000 inheritance can keep the cash, a High Court judge said yesterday.
Danny Sharp had befriended pensioner Ronald Butcher before the pensioner died
Danny Sharp, 45, befriended Ronald Butcher, 75, in 2007 after fixing a gutter at his home in Enfield, north London.
He continued to visit him until his death in March 2013.
Two long-standing friends and a cousin would have inherited everything under a 2011 document.
Ronald Butcher named Danny Butcher in his will
They challenged the validity of the will, made in 2013, in which Mr Sharp received everything.
However, Judge Lesley Anderson QC described Mr Sharp, of Welling, Kent, as "a truthful and straightforward witness".
There was "nothing suspicious" about the will, she concluded.

This Gogoat is a grass-type Pokémon owned by Ramos.
When the children and the Gym Leaders, including Ramos, found the Ultimate Weapon in Geosenge Town, they tried to seal it. Ramos had Gogoat attack the weapon to prevent its activation.[1]
Ramos faced Bryony, who sent Bisharp to stop their mission. Ramos had Gogoat use Horn Leech on Bisharp, countering its attacks. However, Bryony, seeing Tierno, Shauna and Trevor going off somewhere, she called Bisharp back, ending the fight, to pursue the children herself.[2]
Clemont recalled how the Pokémon, including Gogoat, surrounded Delphox, but Shauna's Tri-P would't leave it alone.[3]

The dumbing down of our military, came front and center this week with the headline of, "Air Force Chaplain Awarded Bronze Star for PowerPoint on how to treat koran."
Lt. Col. Jon Trainer, an Air National Guard chaplain from Springfield, Ohio is the proud recipient of the one of the military's most prestigious awards. If your checking your service dress uniform, according to the United States Navy Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS),
The Bronze Star Medal is an individual military award of the United States Armed Forces. It may be awarded for acts of heroism, acts of merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone. When awarded for acts of heroism, the medal is awarded with the "V" device.
The medal is sometimes referred to as the Bronze Star and is the fifth-highest combat decoration and the tenth highest U.S. military award in order of precedence.
Notable Bronze Star recipient's include:
Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller.
Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager a retired major general in the United States Air Force and noted test pilot.
Elmo Russell "Bud" Zumwalt, Jr., an American naval officer and the youngest man to serve as Chief of Naval Operations.
Admiral William James Crowe, Jr., a United States Navy Admiral who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.
Christopher Scott "Chris" Kyle (April 8, 1974 – February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL and is known as the most lethal sniper in American military history.
While Chaplain Trainer is certainly in lofty company with the bestowment of his award, the question still needs to be addressed as to the worthiness of the honor.
Air Force Chaplain Awarded Bronze Star for PowerPoint on how to treat koran
If this doesnt scare the living daylights out of you, then youre dead (or youve submitted — same thing). The book that inspires jihad — the war on the West and the countless dead.
This is surrender. Period.
Air Force Chaplain Awarded Bronze Star for PowerPoint Teaching Proper Sensitivity for the Koran By Patrick Brennan, NRO March 11, 2013 11:3
An Air Force
chaplain has been awarded a Bronze Star for his service in crafting an
especially good PowerPoint about how to treat Islamic religious
materials with sensitivity, according to Ohio's Dayton Daily News. After
U.S. troops in Afghanistan accidentally burned copies of the Koran,
sparking riots that took over 30 lives, Lieutenant Colonel Jon Trainer
came to the rescue:
After the accidental burning last year of Qurans by U.S. troops in
Afghanistan sparked deadly rioting, an Air National Guard chaplain from
Springfield stepped in and potentially saved countless American lives.
For his effort, Lt. Col. Jon Trainer received the prestigious Bronze
Star — a medal given for heroic or meritorious achievement in
connection with operations against an armed enemy.
And he did it with a PowerPoint presentation. . . .
Within 48 hours, Trainer developed a PowerPoint presentation on the
proper handling and disposal of Islamic religious material that was seen
by every American — military and civilian alike — in Afghanistan. The
presentation then was distributed to the U.S. for use in all
pre-deployment training.
The piece explains that Trainer also helped teach service members
just how wide the breadth of their sensitivity had to be, covering what
constitutes Islamic religious material in the first place. 'When a
Muslim writes down even a few verses from the Quran on a piece of
paper,' he told the paper, 'that immediately gets that same protected
Trainer is a nondenominational Christian minister who has been in the
Air Force for 17 years. He is also being recognized for his work
running the Army's suicide-prevention program, in which he's trained
more than 36,000 service members.
The Bronze Star is the U.S. military's fifth most prestigious combat
award, and can be awarded for acts of merit or valor in a combat zone
(if the military deems it an act of heroism, the award is given with a
'V' device).

Spaghetti Squash With Meat Sauce Recipe:
Makes 2-3 normal servings
All ingredients are from Trader Joe's, but any store will do.
1 lb grass-fed ground beef
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 jar Tomatillo and Roasted Yellow Chili Salsa
3 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
dash of oregano
1 spaghetti squash
Poke a number of holes into the spaghetti squash with a fork to release pressure while cooking. Put the squash in the microwave for 15 minutes, rotating every 3.
At the same time, brown the ground beef on medium in a skillet with 3 tbsp of coconut oil. When the beef is halfway done, add the cumin, pepper, salt and oregano. Finish browning the beef, turn the heat to low, and add the jar of salsa. Let this simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
When the spaghetti squash is done, remove it from the microwave (carefully, it will be hot). Slice off the end caps and cut in half length wise. With a fork, remove the seeds and fibers from the center. Again with a fork, scrape the remaining squash into a new container. Here, you can choose to continue cooking the squash in the microwave with additional oil for 15 more minutes, or pan fry it. The consistency should be soft with a slight crunch to it.
When done, the beef can be served on the bed of squash or mixed together, either hot or cold.

To close worship on Sunday March 2, Larry Campbell and his group had us singing a version of John Bell's song, "We Will Lay our Burdens Down." For this one Fred Dugdale sat in with the group with his harmonica, giving it all a nice bluesy feel. Next time we'll sit you closer to the microphone, Fred!
- To listen to the audio, simply click the arrow:
We will lay our burden down… In the hands of the risen Lord. We will light the flame of love… As the hands of the risen Lord. We will show both hurt and hope… Like the hands of the risen Lord. We will walk the path of peace… Hand in hand with the risen Lord. (John Bell)

I have Neurofibromatosis (NF1). Not much was known about the condition in the 1960's. The signs of NF were there early. I was physically behind. I didn't walk until I was almost 3 years old. At the time, they didn't know why. Now we can definitely say it was because of NF. I had the café au lait spots and neurofibromas, but the doctors couldn't tell my Mom what it was. "If they don't grow, don't worry about it".
As an adult, NF continued to affect me. My blood pressure was a problem as a child and in my early 20's, I went on medication. More neurofibromas continued to appear and I had some removed. I deal with the discomfort of scoliosis. During my 2 pregnancies, the lumps increased dramatically on my stomach and face. We are blessed with 2 healthy boys. One is NF free, but the other does have NF, including an optical glioma.
Most recently I was diagnosed with cancer in 2016. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Many people that have GIST, also have NF. I had extensive surgery and we will continue to monitor.
NF affects everyone differently. Despite my challenges, I consider myself very blessed. I have not had the NF tumors in my brain or on limbs that required amputation. I will continue to FIGHT !
It's my hope that we can increase the awareness of NF and honor all our NF heroes!

DUBAI, May 30 (Reuters) - Stock markets in the Gulf may move sideways on Tuesday as crude oil prices barely moved overnight and international bourses offer little guidance for investors to move funds aggressively.
Brent oil futures are down 0.4 percent at $52.08 a barrel and MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan has fallen 0.2 percent.
With the holy month of Ramadan also dampening activity among some Gulf investors, traders may stay on the sidelines. Despite rebounds on Monday, stock indexes in Saudi Arabia and Dubai remain in technical downtrends.
"Investors that are hunting for value are still doing their homework, figuring out which company will be most profitable in Q2 and Q3," said a Jeddah-based portfolio manager. (Reporting by Celine Aswad; Editing by Andrew Torchia)

Here you go
Or, for the no-hoops version:
Wing mount screws - Supplied are Phillips Pan Hd M3-.50 x 35 (front) & 20 (rear) (2 of each length).
For the front 35mm length, 30mm will work just fine.
If you go to the Socket Head (Allen) Hex version, M3 takes 2.5mm key.
Finally finished- Maiden flight!
I built this bird "bonsai" style from the kit version, a tiny bit at a time over the last 9 months or so. I do most of my builds this way, as I never have a big enough chunk of time to do it all at once. The advantage was that I had plenty of time to study the Phoenix 2000 and choose what to do. I made a few improvements that I would not have made if I had built it in day or two.
Mods list:
1. Joined wing reinforcements in each wing. The stock ones end and begin again right at the cutout for the aileron servo, which is a weak point anyways because of the missing foam. I used a hollow CF rod to connect them, with plenty of overlap. I just cut into the foam from the bottom, glued in the reinforcement, then taped over with fiber tape.
2. Extensive fiber tape on the wing. I put strips on the leading and trailing edges, straight down the top and bottom of both wings, and an X of fiber tape on the top and bottom of each wing to counter any twisting. The goal was to make sure the wing would survive high speed aerobatics and hard landings. I discovered that fiber tape sticks to the previous layer much better if the gloss is sanded out of it. It was very tedious, but each piece of tape got sanded with 240 grit before any tape was placed over it.
3. Connected the elevator halves. I used a CF tube the existing reinforcements fit inside of, and used it to bridge the "gap" in the elevator. I had to trim the rudder a little for clearance, but not much.
4. Eliminated the firewall. I cut the firewall out entirely, and mounted the motor to the battery tray instead. I have a previous post about that. I did weigh the modified battery tray, and it weighs 35 grams. I don't know what the battery tray weighed before, so I don't know how much I added. I did this to securely fit a 35-48 900kv motor turning a 13x8 CF prop.
5. Moved servo tray rearward to make as much room as possible for moving the battery around to adjust CG.
6. Installed flaps.
7. Fiber taped tail as well. Also used a strip of clear packing tape down each side of the fuselage as a hand grip aid.
8. Mounted a Corona RP8D1 72 mhz receiver embedded in the left wing, routing the antenna down a slot cut into the bottom of the wing. I used short servo extensions with their plugs glued into keyed groups so I have a single plug to pull to separate the wing from the fuse, and one more to separate the wings. They can't be plugged in wrong accidentally.
9. "Moved" the canopy mount holes. The "nubs" on the canopy were not fitting all the way into the holes in the fuselage, leaving the front of the canopy raised a little, which could catch the prop. Upon close inspection, I found that the holes were a tiny bit too small, and the front ones were not quite in the right spot. I was able to take a hobby knife and enlarge the holes in the right direction, leaving a larger hole centered in a slightly different spot. Now the canopy snaps on and off easily, sits flush, and can't catch the prop. No need for tape, at least on mine.
10. Paint. Yellow on top, red on bottom for high visibility. I used fusion paint for plastic, and sanded first. It does come off if scraped, but it doesn't just fall off. I added prismatic film to the wingtips for a "sparkle" effect in case the thing gets too far away and I need to re-acquire it visually.
That's the big stuff anyways. I went with 72 mhz because I want to eventually do FPV and it gives much better range than 2.4. I need a new transmitter though, as mine is a really old Kyosho series 91 with one mix (aileron/rudder). I'd really like to be able to do full span flaperons, crow, and all that fancy stuff. Because of the simple radio, I had to bias the linkages to get differential ailerons. I went with a pretty aggressive differential, as I was warned here that the adverse yaw is severe with this plane. Final weight, ready to fly with 3000 mAh lipo is about 3.5 pounds. Heavy for a glider, but I'm not really using it as a glider. I usually fly in wind and I don't bother with chasing thermals. Think of it as a large slope soarer that doesn't need a slope.
Since I like the flight characteristics of the rearmost of the acceptable CG range on most planes, I set the CG to the rearmost value I found on this thread, which was 85mm. I though it would be fine, as my Skyfly 2 flies the way I like with it's CG at about the 40% chord point, and 85mm is ahead of that on the P2000 wing. 85mm turned out to be too far aft, especially for the conditions. I meant to get it in the air in the morning, but didn't make it until 2pm when the winds had picked up. It flew great in "floaty mode" at this CG, but as soon as I flew faster it got unstable, like balancing one ball on top of another. It also tended to "weathervane" away from the wind. Flying right into the wind was fine, but as soon as I turned one way or another, it would just turn around and fly downwind unless I countered early enough with a heavy control input. I think the aft CG works on the Skyfly 2 because of the highly cambered wing (the bottom is quite concave). Dropping the flaps a little on the phoenix effectively giving the wing some camber did help things a little. Once my thumbs calmed down I brought it in for a landing after a fairly short flight. Any maiden where the plane comes back unharmed is a successful one. I am going to have another flight this weekend with the CG a little farther forward, I'm sure it will fly better.
Here's a video of the maiden. I don't usually have video from the ground, but the maiden flight of a plane I've spent 9 months building is a big enough deal to get my wife to come out and see it, so she recorded some video for me and I edited it together with the in flight video. You'll notice the climb rate surprised her too. Enjoy!
Easily saw the 'vane-ing' you mention -- turns didn't look too graceful. With weight a little more on the nose you should see a marked difference in how it both flies & turns, with the additional 'punch thru' you'll have. Seems like you kept power applied almost the entire time -- I only remember the prop folding once, just as you were about to land. Just your style, or was that a necessity to keep it flying & controlled?
Maiden and mods
Hi everyone, had a successful maiden of the Phoenix 2000. Conditions very calm, happy with flight.
The set up stock,but installed Castle Creations 10A bec, as insurance. Two Hitec HS65HB servos on flaps.
1800 3c 2000, Tx Hitec Aurora 9 ,Optima 6 ch Rx. program set for crow and differential on ailerons.
The esc installed 4 " from fire wall on fuse side with velcro.Bec 4" from fire wall other side fuse.
Battery tray moved aft approc.1".
Mods, cooling slots elongatted to within 1/4" of fire wall, with Hobby-Lobby air scoops.
Canopy, 2 triangular cut outs top of canopy and just forward of wing leading edge.
Reverse air scoops on these exhaust vents.
This set up did not provide sufficient cooling for motor but battery,esc and bec ok.
"Rule of thumb," re exhaust vents , should be double size of the inlets and larger exhaust vents if no smooth flow due obstructions.
To improve motor cooling removed nose of spinner so that spinner opening was 3/4".
The spinner back plate has 4 mould circles these make your hole drill guide also 2 additional holes the back of blade attatch.point. I drilled 4 holes in the fire wall to line up with the 4 back plate of the spinner.
This made a really big improvement on motor cooling.
Hint use a belt sander if possible to trim nose of spinner.
Note hobby- Lobby have a nice turbo spinner 30 m Dia. but no 3 m.shaft , they have a 2.4m. shaft collet which could be drilled out.( may be).
Rudder hinge fitted to bottom of rudder to remove slop.
Wing tips underside glassed with 1/2 oz. cloth.
Also wing trailing edge at root , bolt attatch point, glassed for reinforcement.
Wing underside 6" wide red stripes also paint underside stab.
Auw 42 ozs. 1200gs.
Wing loading11ozs sq. ft.
Wing area 528 sq. ins. (calculated).
To sum up ,this ARF is value for money with a few simple mods
in back of blade
Turbo Spinners
Re previous post, www.hobby-lobby.com have a range of turbo spinners.
The phoenix 2000 spinner 40mm diam, 3mm collet Hobby lobby do not stock this size.
It mat be possible to use a 40mm diam, spinner with a 3mm. collett from the 30 mm. diam. spinner, check web site for varies sizes.
Hey guys...
Something I've seen on 1:1 gliders & more'n one RC model too, which I think adds 1000% to viewing appeal, is smoke generators on the wingtips.
I've been kinda 'secretly' questing for a smoke system for the Phoenix (& others) that won't burn off either the wingtips or my wallet. *LOL* The longer the smoke lasts, the better of course, but absolutely 1 minute minumum with 5+ much more desirable. I've found 'smoke bombs' that'll go a couple minutes, but not locally & pretty darn expensive.
Needing a way to mount whatever's used, of course, & then there's the ignition.
More to it than that but I'll clip it there.....anybody got any starting suggestions?
Meanwhile I think the classic gull-wing Habicht with that 'sunburst' pattern atop is THE cat's meow! I fully intend to own & fly one of these beauties some day. Meanwhile, enjoy this smoke show whilst you're thinking......it's pure beauty to this ol' boy! Who wouldn't want to be able to fly their Phoenix like this!?!?! :
I won't be flying my Phoenix 2000 as it won't rise from the ashes as did the mythical bird. Those of you of a nervous disposition should not look at the pictures but you should read the link to what happened
It makes me think........we are always taking care of lipo's but what can we do to prevent this? I'll just make sure I NEVER charge them unattended anymore!
I surely hope this is not the end of your hobby.

My heart goes out to you, headlessagain. No injuries is the most important part but property loss is traumatic enough.
I have to admit I've gotten a little lax while charging because nothing has burst into flames yet but that will change. I have a charging bag but find it of limited value because most lipo charge leads are so short. Actually placing the charger in the bag with the battery just seems like I'm adding heat where I don't want it. So? I found another way.
I had an old electric frying pan that gave out just about the time that I started using lipos and I use it as a charging station. There's plenty of room for the charger and it has a fairly tight cover that should contain any fire. I don't think lipos burn hot enough to melt through 3mm of stainless steel but I'll return to setting it on concrete anyway.
Sorry for you loss, again, but thanks for sharing.
It was a good day for flying. It was only the second time I got to take the P2K out so I went early when the air was dead so I could trim it out and practice the spot landings. I also maidened an HK Minimoa but I'll save that for the proper forum.
I lost track of the number of flights I had. Launch to altitude and glide back down to a landing. I'm not going to say I got good at puting where I want it but at least I don't have to go get my water bottle for the walk anymore. The thermals started building around 10 so I had a few 20 min flights. About 11 I could have kept it up as long as I wanted but it was time to go home. Very nice once you get it trimmed out.
I don't have the flaps hooked up. I use mixes to either set a small amount of flap with the flap toggle (DX6i) or a lot of aileron reflex with the gear toggle. The aileron reflex will really kill the lift for controlled landings. The down side is I don't have any aileron control in that configuration. It seems OK though because it flys pretty flat with the ailerons in high reflex and rudder gives me all
the control I need.

Of the 606 migrants, 241 were children, 120 of those children came unaccompanied.
The shipwrecked migrants were rescued in seven operations in less than 36 hours. On board the Franco-Italian-German rescue ship were 11 pregnant women, two of whom were in their ninth month. There was also a week-old infant.
"The extremely high numbers of minors," said Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando, "is the confirmation of a human drama without pause and without Europe feeling shame. Today we found ourselves before a dramatic choice made by members of the families of these minors put in the hands of the merchants of death with the hope of getting them to Europe, which, however, continues to ignore this drama, staining themselves with criminal behavior that produces and feeds criminal organizations. We here in Palermo are quite different from all that and the city with its organization and its institutions make it the "Capital of Welcome."

With the epidemic of arm injuries among major league pitchers, including hometown heroes Matt Harvey and Masahiro Tanaka, the situation is on the minds of baseball fans everywhere.
Intrigued, confused and maybe even concerned fans, coaches, parents and players will have the rare opportunity to learn about the issue from a 20-year major league baseball team physician and a World Series-winning manager Saturday on Long Island.
Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who caught for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1980-92, and former team physician Luga Podesta (Dodgers 1990-2006; Angels 2010-13) will highlight a panel of five experts in a free seminar titled "Keeping young arms throwing and dispelling the myths" Saturday morning at Ward Melville High School's auditorium. The seminar, which will focus on young pitchers, will be sponsored by St. Charles Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.
"We really just want to dispel some of the myths and give coaches good tools back home wherever they play and have parents have a better understanding," director of sports medicine development Ray Nelson said.
The seminar will range from the right age for a young pitcher to start throwing curveballs to discussing Tommy John surgery — which Nelson said has the reputation of "being a golden parachute."
(Four of the five members of what is expected to be a superb starting rotation for the 2016 Mets have had Tommy John surgery: Harvey, Jacob deGrom, still-rehabbing Zack Wheeler and Steven Matz, a star pitcher for Ward Melville during his high school days. Only Noah Syndergaard has avoided it.)
The panel also will discuss stretching, icing, pitch counts, throwing ages and techniques and take questions from the audience.
Podesta, who works with St. Charles Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, asked Scioscia, a friend, to be a part of the event. "I'm extremely excited," Nelson said. "You don't see the likes of Mike Scioscia, the World Series ring-holder as a player and coach, often."
Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. and the seminar is expected to begin at about 8:30 and last until 1 p.m. Vendors will be present and there will be raffle prizes, such as gloves and hats. Parents, young athletes, high school players and coaches, and college student-athletes already have registered for the event.
"An event like this with these people for free doesn't come around too often," Nelson said. "So I just think they have a unique opportunity to learn some valuable things they can take for years."

Harvey Gets Angry, Threatens to 'Leave' the MPAA Over 'Bully' Rating
by Alex Billington
February 23, 2012
Source: Deadline
Oh boy, don't piss off Harvey Weinstein. Thankfully, it's the MPAA who did this time. There's been an on-going debate over the rating of a documentary The Weinstein Company is releasing called Bully, about bullying in schools, since it received an R-rating and they want to show it in schools. They appealed to get a PG-13, but lost today, and now Harvey is pissed, sending out press releases (one via Deadline) that go so far as to say "The Weinstein Company is considering a leave of absence from the MPAA for the foreseeable future." Whoa wait, what?! Is that even possible? I say do it, time to fight back and who better than Harvey!
The press release focuses mostly on their dissatisfaction with the MPAA's decision, and how Bully deserves to be seen and this is interrupting that. "The appeal board's decision eliminates the potential for Bully to reach a mass national audience of students through screenings at U.S. middle and high schools, where the film could be used as a tool to stop an epidemic of physical, psychological and emotional violence." Harvey personally attended the appeal along with Alex Libby, one of the bullied children whose experiences are documented. Libby "gave an impassioned plea and eloquently defended the need for kids to be able to see this movie on their own, not with their parents, because that is the only way to truly make a change."
Harvey continues in the press release (view in full here):
"With school-age children of my own, I know this is a crucial issue and school districts across the U.S. have responded in kind. The Cincinnati school district signed on to bus 40,000 of their students to the movie – but because the appeals board retained the R rating, the school district will have to cancel those plans."
"I personally am going to ask celebrities and personalities worldwide, from Lady Gaga (who has a foundation of her own) to the Duchess of Cambridge (who was a victim of bullying and donated wedding proceeds) to First Lady Michelle Obama (whose foundation has reached out to us as well), to take a stand with me in eradicating bullying and getting the youth into see this movie without restriction."
In industry speak, that's kind of like "bring it on", which is awesome, I say go for it. I'm very curious to see if he holds up to this "considering a leave of absence from the MPAA" threat or if it's just a way to build extra buzz, like this, and get the MPAA to cave. However, I'm also wondering if this kind of push will actually start a change in the MPAA, but only time will tell. Bully is set to be released in theaters on March 30th anyway. You can follow details on the appeal and their decision to fight back from the press release a few days ago.
"We respect the MPAA and their process but feel this time it has just been a bridge too far," he adds. "I have been through many of these appeals, but this one vote loss is a huge blow to me personally," And when he takes on a personal challenge like this, you know he's not going to stop until it's settled. Especially with the likes of Lady Gaga and First Lady Michelle Obama, that may just be the kind of power and leverage needed to actually make some changes. I love that some people are really starting to rattle the cages of the MPAA, with Film School Rejects' petition and now this chance for Harvey and his company to test the fences. We'll have to keep you updated on Bully's rating and how they plan to fight back against the MPAA. Can he win?

Accounting institute strengthens the backbone of accounting industry
According to recent research, there is a talent shortage gap of about 10 to 15 per cent in the local accounting profession, whereas more than 170,000 additional qualified accountants are needed in mainland China today.
"In the past, accountants were asked to go north for business trips, yet today, they are requesting work experience across the border," reveals Lindy Yau, member of board, Hong Kong Institute of Accredited Accounting Technicians (HKIAAT), a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA).
Ms Yau advises accounting professionals to enhance their skill sets in spite of mounting demand on the mainland as accounting firms seek core competencies like communication skills, language proficiency and multi-disciplinary know-how. It is only a matter of time before China qualified accountants gain similar status to their Hong Kong qualified counterparts, so remaining one step ahead is crucial long-term.
This is where HKIAAT can offer support. In grooming young people to confront the accounting profession head on, HKIAAT distils industry core values into a professional qualification for accounting technicians.
Prominent role
Bridging the gap between a CPA and a certified accounts clerk (CAC), accredited accounting technicians (AATs) play an intermediate role in maintaining accounting records, processing management information and preparing financial analyses. They constitute the backbone of the industry as a whole, undertaking elementary to mid-level positions in every Hong Kong corporate sector.
Local knowledge is the highlight of the accreditation programme's syllabus. Since the programme is specifically tailored for Hong Kong, AATs-to-be enjoy a customised curriculum which includes practical hands-on experience immediately valuable in the field.
In addition to local adaptation, the programme also focuses on honing business acumen. Participants are trained in multiple disciplines encompassing financial accounting, taxation and business law. To complement technical skills training, soft skills workshops play a role to enhance competency in areas such as stress management and business communications.
The qualification is widely recognised by employers, government, professional bodies and universities. Students of the HKIAAT enjoy high flexibility with regards to study mode —s tudying part-time or full-time, allowing work and learning to take place simultaneously.
Ms Yau underlines that attention to details and problem solving skills are two of the key attributes to career success. The latter is highly valued since AATs often confront practical problems which are not necessarily confined to the scope of accounting.
Due to the broader nature of the accounting technician's role particularly in smaller firms, AATs tend to play a more overarching role and often take on supervisory or even managerial duties in the company.
Graduates from the HKIAAT programme and members of the organisation are provided with support for career development as well as further professional development. They are also conferred advanced standing from various degree programmes organised by both local and overseas universities. Since the first AAT test was launched in 1989, more than 80,000 students have taken the exam, while the current student population exceeds 6,000.
Professional benchmark
To help further enhance professionalism within the industry and the competency of its members, HKIAAT has upped the ante. In June 2009, HKIAAT will launch a new qualification framework comprising specific requirements for membership admission to the organisation. Three central elements of the new framework include the AAT exam which fortifies the knowledge base, professional assessment which highlights the significance of business values and practical experience which aims to sharpen hands-on skills.
Value-added services are also a feature of HKIAAT's crusade. In terms of career development, the HKIAAT offers CPD (continuing professional development) programmes regularly to its members to ensure they maintain and enrich their professional competence. Employment placement services are also provided free for employers and AATs alike. Regular visits to local and mainland accounting firms serve as "tasters" where participants can experience an authentic working environment first-hand.
To commemorate the HKIAAT 20th anniversary this year, the organisation will also launch a new scholarship scheme to encourage bright youngsters to study accountancy. "AATs have so far proved to be valuable assets to employers who have in turn lauded our approach to proactive learning which encompasses the latest developments in professional knowledge and core competencies at work," concludes Ms Yau. With such a distinguished reputation already established, dedicated AATs are guaranteed ascent of the accounting career ladder.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts track in Stage Management is offered for students who, upon graduation, plan to pursue a specialized career as a Manager in the entertainment industry including Broadway, Regional Theatre, Touring, Special Events, etc. It provides the student with a thorough foundation in theatre complemented by very structured and intensive career preparation in both the art and the craft of theatrical stage management. Students spend the first year of the curriculum working within the structure of the laboratory classes to gain a thorough understanding of the structure, process, and craft skills. Within the first four semesters, those who qualify receive an assignment on a Stage Management team. The student Stage Managers work with the Faculty Directors to manage the rehearsal through performance process of all Department Productions. Stage Managers also have opportunities to work directly with our partner theatres within Orlando (ex. The Orlando Repertory Theatre) as part of the curriculum thus giving each student practical experience as they build their professional portfolios.The curriculum requires students to become proficient in design, technology, and theatre management through specified coursework. In their advanced course work, student Stage Managers receive a thorough introduction to the collective bargaining agreements within Actor's Equity Association. The program culminates with a professional internship where students are able to apply their education in a real world work environment. While most students choose to enter the workforce following graduation, the BFA is an excellent degree for students who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in all areas of theatre. Work within the BFA program requires energy and dedication; therefore, other part-time study or outside employment is very challenging. BFA standards are high, both for admission and for continuation in the program. Production assignments are regulated to serve the artistic growth of students thus coordinating production experience with class room exploration.

There was a time when #Skyrim was king of the internet, and the shenanigans of the Dovahkiin ruled the meme-waves. Generating hours of comedy in addition to its gameplay, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was the gift that kept on giving.
The quirks and oddities of the sandbox game, borne out of the AI designed to do its best to react to a range of situations, led to some bizarre interactions with the NPCs, and the Skyrim in-joke rabbit hole ran deeper than Blackreach.
Now that Skyrim: Special Edition is out, many players, including myself, are venturing once more into Tamriel's Northern province to smith iron daggers, yell at dragons, and get paid. But I'm also looking forward to the next wave of Skyrim comedy, which has already kicked off in style with a new video from Youtube comedy team Mega64.
Those 3 little words
The concept of Mega64 revolves around a fictional device that brings video games into real life. In reality, of course, it's an excuse for nerdy pranks and hijinks in public. In this new video, Mega64 brings the power of Skyrim's voice, or Thu'um, to real life, spreading chaos and hilarity to those who cross the path of the Dragonborn.
In case you don't remember the awesome power of the Thu'um's most famous shout, here are some reminders from the game.
It can be useful in combat...
...but also if you just want to be a dick.
Anti-social shouting can get you in a bit of trouble sometimes.
Now see the Dragonborn enter our dimension and use his power to claim this new world.
At first, the jaded citizens of this town were untroubled by the screaming horned beserker...
...but as the Dragonborn practiced his powers, the true potential of the voice was unlocked...
...until he easily throws people to the ground with his mighty shouts.
Watch Dovahkiin throw the power of his voice in the real world:
Skyrim: Special Edition just wouldn't be able to match the first time without jokes and memes to enjoy on the side, and I'm glad fans are rising to the challenge. To my fellow adventurers, clear your throats and breathe deep, it's time to get shouting again.

Jaffrey to Hartford to Jaffrey to Providence to Stonington—twice—to New York City to Providence to Jaffrey to Saratoga Springs to Jaffrey (and up Mount Monadnock to celebrate our 25th Anniversary!) to Burlington, VT to Randolph, VT to South Burlington, VT. to Jaffrey to Providence to New York to Providence (Happy Birthday to me!) to Boston to Providence where I type now. In one month and one week. 2214 miles. 41 hours and five minutes of movement over the course of 36 days. Which equals 61.5 miles a day at 54 miles per hour. Thank goodness for calculators and thank goodness it's over. We had a great time but my soul is huffing to catch up. Even Carl got a bit confused when we were leaving Boston the other night post a Boston Community Capital celebration: as we approached the entry to Route 93, he had a moment: where were we going? North or South?
Between family commitments and The Varied Paths to Publication Book Tour, our carbon footprint has been shocking this month. Too, I raised the heat in our Endless Pool in Providence from 50 to 86 so that I can use said pool, thereby exposing the fact that I am my own worst enemy in my war against climate change. Granted, the trips to New York were made by train, and once we got to a city, we stuck to walking but my feints at change have been as vexatious and quixotic as a regular American's hope to find a drop of democracy in the tea party's vitriol, or a vertebra of backbone in too many Democrats. But before I go too far down the Road of Rant, let's return to the over two thousand miles Carl chauffeured me through in the past two weeks.
Varied Paths Tour
In Saratoga Springs, the Northshire Bookstore hosted Nina Gaby, Tammy Flanders Hetrick and Celine Keating and me. We had a great discussion with a small but interested audience. Yes! We had an audience though we knew only our spouses. It was, indeed, an auspicious beginning and fun way to get to know these three authors. I had read their books (Dumped: Stories of Women Unfriending Women; Stella Rose and Play for Me, respectively) and it was quite wonderful to hear them read their books, and talk about writing, publishing and being women of a certain age and attitude. Which is the sub theme of the tour. I found it incredible and slightly intimidating to be with such energetic, cool women.
Back in Jaffrey, Carl and I did some amazing foraging and then climbed Mount Monadnock to celebrate our 25th if-you-can-believe-it anniversary. It was the first time Carl had climbed the White Dot and I saw him bristle when he had to pay to climb his mountain. But the five dollars goes to support the maintenance and oversight of the mountain and so, with that justification, we proceeded on a perilous, vertiginous climb.
May I just say, we aren't as young as we used to be but we still know how to climb mountains: with each other to help!
As we cheerfully commented after making it to the top: It's all down hill from here! Via the White Cross trail, which was touted as less steep yet was more slippery and painful to the knees . . . but going down hill always is, isn't it? Half way down, as I slipped on another slick rock, I had to wonder: why cross?
That weekend, we drove to Burlington for the Burlington Book Festival, and two Book Tour events, one in Randolph and one in South Burlington.
At the book fest, we had the pleasure of hearing David Macaulay, Paul Muldoon and Abigail Thomas speak. And of being interviewed by Lesley Nase for her radio show Books, Yarns and Tales.
And onward to Randolph, where we ate fantastic cronuts (who needs NYC!) and drank decent espresso—who'd'a thunk!—at the Three Bean Cafe—and enjoyed a great gathering at the Art of Vermont Gallery. There we dug a bit deeper into our personal stories and I had the pleasure of meeting Alexis Paige, one of the contributors to Nina's book and our special guest that day. And then we headed back up to South Burlington's Barnes and Noble.
Ironies abound, don't they? Years ago, I wrote a short story called "Chain Material" about a dastardly chain bookstore that, like an octopus had spread its tentacles. A chain rather like Barnes and Noble—which today is almost a local bookstore. Certainly this one supports authors and building community.
We drove home to the light of the moon which later that night eclipsed. We made it about a third of the way through before passing out.
The next morning, during a lull in our active driving schedule, I briefly faced the dilemma of our dapper Little Big Man. There is no mistaking his rooster-ish ways anymore and I keep thinking how this should not have happened. He was supposed to be a she. But I could say the same about Big Red, previously Rhoda Red, who is now three. It does make me a bit sick. Last year was so easy! We adopted the sex-link girls Brownie, Clownie and Downie. Yes, Opie, too. Who for all I know was a boy and was kind enough to die so I wouldn't have to deal with another Roo. Just as did Little Big Man, Surprise and Exclamation's brother who died four days after his arrival. Thoughtful boy. But really? I ordered auto sexed chicks. A no brainer. No mistakes possible! And still we received two boys. I appear to be irresponsible but really, I think these things through. Maybe stopping short of thinking it through to all possible consequences. But we now have two cocks and Big Red is being strangely obsequious. He's sleeping on the coop floor. Leaving Little Big Man to get an ego.
All to say, we aren't there. We are here. Again. Heading there shortly. And I have signed up at NaNo to write a novel next month. Even as I struggle to find a story for my soon to be trashed book that was supposed to save the world and now?
Writer's block sucks.
Which leads me to suspect that all the movement might be having consequences I hadn't anticipated. Or maybe, unconsciously, I did. Maybe I don't want to find the story? Or write one? Maybe I'm supposed to be paying more attention to other things. Like my cats.
Final note: a new person that I met on the road wrote on his facebook page that he "was going to write like a motherfucker" last weekend. Excellent goal except. . . . has anyone read the definition of motherfucker recently?
So instead of wanting to write like a motherfucker—I know, it's just a saying but my grandmother berated me once for using such language in my writing. There are better and more interesting phrases—next time I sit down to write I will hope to write like someone who has something true to say, and —most important—that I figure out a way to say it.

Leonardo's Eccentricities
- On 5 November 2013
- By Alyssa
- In The Pets
- 4
My cat is my soulmate. No offense to other cats (I love all cats!), but Leonardo is the greatest. He's cuddly, communicative, and I swear he looks straight into my souls sometimes. He's also very, very weird and a constant source of amusement.
Leonardo doesn't much like cameras, but he's been my primary photographic subject for years. Between the thousands of photos I've taken of him, I've captured a lot of weird faces and weird situations.
There are the inevitable "pirate" pictures.
I've caught him mid-meow (as I said earlier, he's very talkative). I like to imagine this captioned, "Let me sing you the song of my people."
Yawning and cleaning himself at the same time–illustrating how much he really does not want to sit for my camera.
And sometimes he looks like a demon when he yawns.
Sometimes he hangs out in the tub begging for water.
And then there's this…
What to say about this? Leonardo was spending a lot of time napping on the refrigerator (and thus waking us up in the middle of the night too frequently), so we put this empty box in the way to discourage his napping.
After a couple weeks he sat in the box. Then he started really settling in, or at least trying to. He rearranges himself often in his little box attempting to get comfortable.
This was purely accidental on our part and remains really, really funny. He gets so squished up and tangled stuffed into the little box!
(Note: the last four photos were taken with my cell phone. He only climbs into his box at night–usually while we're cooking dinner–when it's too dark to use my real camera.)

text: Mk. So, my Opera browser was loading pages a little slower than it used to. So, I go into internet connections, click on an unused internet thing, and then click "Search for an access point." Well, the signal strength looks like it'd be weak. Because you have your base loooking tower with the big green rectangle.. And then I have 5 black bars going to the right. Are they supposed to be green? Or what? I'm just wondering, because I moved it around, and one of my black bars dissapeared. So I moved it back. But I'm just wondering, should htey be black bars or green bars for full strength?

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, was the destruction of the Jedi, a master of the dark side of the Force, and one of the Emperor's most trusted servants. He wasn't always a fearsome enforcer, however.
He began life as Anakin Skywalker, a young slave from Tatooine skilled in piloting and strong in the Force. His mother said that there was no father. Unexpectidlly, she became pregnent and carried him to terms. Some among the Jedi believed that he was to be part of an ancient prophecy of a Chosen One, willed into life by the midi-chlorians, who would bring balance to the groing darkening Force. There was another possibility, though. The child could have been made by sinister Siths such as the Dark Lords Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious thought to bring about the perfect apprentice by coaxing life from lifelessness. He was discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master,Qui-Gon Jinn. He was then taken before the Jedi council to see who would be trainning him. Qui-Gon Jinn wanted to train him but the council made a point of him having Obi-Wan Kenobi as an aprentice.
The council then decide that he shall be trained. They pass him over to Obi-Wan Kenobi for trainning. He thought he could be as skilled as Yoda in trainning witch was saddlly the end of Anikan Skuwalker. and Darth Vader was Born.
Now some questions on Vader.
no.1: Did he really have no farther?
no.2: Who was his mothers parents?
thank you for reading if you have any anwsers for the questions or more questions let me know.
