18 The helicopter main rotor generates vertical lifting force in against the aircraft weight and horizontal propulsive force (thrust) for forward flight. It provides a means of producing forces and moments to control the altitude and position of the helicopter 14. The knowledge of aerodynamics loads effects on the rotor blade dynamic response and environment in which the rotor operates is important. Helicopter has ability to hover and to perform forward flight.
19 During hover, the helicopter main rotor blades move considerable volumes of air in a downward direction. This process accelerates the air to relatively high velocities and requires lots of horsepower. To perform hovering flight, the helicopter main rotor must generate lift (L) equal to the total weight (W) of the helicopter. with an increase of blade pitch and high rotor blades speed, the necessary lift for a hover is induced and reach a state of stable stationary hover. The rotor tip vortex affects negatively the effectiveness of the outer blade portions in hover flight. The lift(L) of following blade is severely affected by vortex of preceding blade. For hovering the helicopter requires high power. This high-power requirement is effect of continuous creation of new vortexes and ingestion of existing vortexes. Unlike out of ground effect (OGE) operation, in ground effect (IGE) operation, the downward airflow patterns and outward airflow patterns tend to restrict vortex generation. Restriction of vortex generation results in increasing of efficiency of outboard part of the rotor blade and reduces overall turbulence of system produced by ingestion and recirculation of the vortex swirls 15.
20 In hovering flight, Collective pitch angle, tip Mach number and blade wake affect overall performance requirement for hover flight.
21 Collective pitch angle changes angle of attack of all rotor blades by an equal amount. The collective pitch is operated to control the average rotor blade pitch. Change in pitch angle changes the blade lift (L) and the average rotor trust (T) and increase the drag on blades. Increase in drag requires extra power 16.
22 A high rotor tip speed provides the rotor a high level rotational kinetic energy for a given radius. The high rotor tip speed reduces the rotor design weight. However, compressibility effects and noise are two factors that oppose the use of high rotor tip speed. The compressibility effects increase rotor power requirements. With increase in Mack number the rotor noise increases rapidly. For maximum hover flight performance lower tip Mach number is required 16.
23 The wake due to the rotating blade comprises, in part, a vertical vortex sheet, with formation of concentrated vortex at the blade tip. The vortex sheet has a vorticity with vectors aligned mainly normal to and parallel to the trailing edge of the blade. Experiments have shown that blade tip vortices are almost fully rolled up within only a few degrees of blade 16.
24 For forward flight the rotor is tilted forward, and total lift and thrust forces are also tilted forward and generate resultant lift-thrust force. The generated resultant force that can be resolved into two components: lift (L) acting vertically upward and thrust (T) acting horizontally in the direction of flight. In addition to lift and thrust forces, there is weight and drag. For steady forward flight, lift, thrust, drag, and weight must be in balance. When lift force exceeds weight, the helicopter accelerates vertically until both forces are balanced; if thrust is less than drag, the helicopter slows down until the forces are in balance. 15.
25 During forward flight, airflow moves opposite to the flightpath of rotorcraft. The velocity of air-flow equals the velocity of rotorcraft in forward flight. The velocity of air flow across the blade is determined by: the point location of the rotor blade in plane of rotation at a given time, blade rotational velocity, and airspeed of the helicopter determine the velocity of the airflow across the blades. The airflow on rotating blade varies continuously with rotation of blade. The highest airflow velocity occurs over the one side of plane of rotation for advancing blade in a rotor system and decreases to rotational velocity over the nose. It continues to decrease until the lowest velocity of airflow occurs over other side for retreating blade 15.
26 When the helicopter begins to accelerate from a hover, the rotor system becomes more efficient. Transitional lift results from improved rotor efficient due to acceleration of helicopter from hover flight to forward flight. As in-coming wind produced by helicopter movement enters the rotor system, vortices and turbulent stay behind and the airflow becomes more horizontal 15
18 The helicopter main rotor generates vertical lifting force in against the aircraft weight and horizontal propulsive force (thrust) for forward flight. It provides a means of producing forces and moments to control the altitude and position of the helicopter 14. The knowledge of aerodynamics loads effects on the rotor blade dynamic response and environment in which the rotor operates is important.

Most 12-year-olds are going to love Dubai's latest attraction – the world's largest indoor theme park. IMG Worlds of Adventure is not just for 12-year-olds, however. Anyone game for an adrenalin boost is in for a treat. It's the parents who might have a tough time though. a family of four can easily be down Dh1500, if you take in food and drink and booking lockers and memorabilia and buying the kids what they want to avoid creating a scene.
We loved the Haunted Hotel in IMG Boulevard the most. The look and feel of the place is movie-like authentic. You have the hunchbacked bellboys in uniform, jerky elevators, dim fluctuating lights, ghoulsh noises, dangling corpses. we won't reveal much more, but you get the idea.
And the Haunted Hotel is just one of the many highlights.
IMG Worlds of Adventure is divided into four segments or zones, and the idea is, as CEO Lennard Otto told us, for the family to spend a good 6-8 hours at the park.
Interesting fact: 28 food and beverage outlets at the park (there's churros), 25 retail stores with 5,000 product lines, and they can host 30,000 people a day. IMG has four major brands under one group including Marvel and Cartoon Network, and they're projecting a first-year footfall of around 4.5 million guests.
Attractions you can expect:
- Thrill and kiddie rides galore
- 28 food and beverage outlets
- 25 retail outlets
- 12-screen Novo Cinema multiplex (with IMAX screen, 2 VIP theatres)
Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye – they're all here. The 350,000 square feet MARVEL zone will offer a bunch of MARVEL superhero experiences including the This highly immersive, action-packed 'Avengers: Battle of Ultron' ride – the first 'dark' Avengers ride in the world – and a 3D multimedia experience.
Hulk Epsilon Base 3D: Innovative, 100-seater ride system featuring Hulk as he battles against his deadliest foe, The Leader. Combo of 360-degree projection screens and virtually propels guests through an immersive battle experience.
Spider-Man Doc Ock's Revenge: 400-metre spinning coaster propels guests through the New York skyline with Marvel's famous web-slinger Spider-Man, fighting to save the city from the sinister Doctor Octopus.
Thor Thunder Spin: Dizzying top-spin experience pins guests to their seat as Thor, the Mighty Avenger, attempts to rescue them from the clutches of Loki, God of Mischief.
Avengers Flight of the Quinjets: Suitable for all ages and allows guests to take control of their own two-seater pod.
Like the foyer of the park. You enter here and you're just getting started. It covers 200,000 square feet and the highlight is The Haunted Hotel, which is great fun, and probably our favourite. Kids will love it, and be spooked, too. Also, there's the IMG Boulevard, with F&B offerings, retail shops, or a place to simply sit back and enjoy the ambient street entertainers and performers.
The Cartoon Network zone: spans 2,30,000 square feet and will feature exclusive attractions including the first ever Ben 10 5D cinema, which will host up to 1,200 visitors an hour with a 10 minute 3D movie. Alongside the world's largest Ben 10 retail store, the zone will incorporate brands like LazyTown, Adventure Time, The Powerpuff Girls and The Amazing World of Gumball.
Romp along with The Powerpuff Girls, and take a scenic The Ride of OOO with Finn & Jake, or visit the Amazing Ride of Gumball, where Gumball and Darwin's school science project has gone out of control.
Plus, a LazyTown Playground with a challenging rope ladder adventure, and Live Stage Show performances.
The Lost Valley zone: This one's all about dinosaurs, or as they tell you "over 69 state-of-the-art animatronic dinosaurs". One especially large fellow has a motor in his neck and a range of three movements – turns neck, looks up down, and clenches and de-clenches jaw. Even if you're not one for the rides, it's a cool place to amble about in. There's a pretzels and churros cart. This dino zone also spans 700,000 square feet, including the external coaster 'The Velociraptor', which propels guests to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds on a 1.1 km rollercoaster, the tallest and fastest in Dubai, launching them from prehistoric jungles of the Lost Valley out into the Dubai desert and back. Then there's the Forbidden Territory deep jungle safari ride through prehistoric dinosaurs; Predator, the sharpest drop track in the region featuring a 'beyond-vertical' plummet to Earth; Dino Carousel, more for the kiddies; and Adventure Fortress, an active adventure playground.
MG Worlds of Adventure fun facts
- World's largest indoor theme park spread over 1.5 million square feet
- Open throughout the year, can host 30,000 visitors per day
- Projected: 4.5 million visitors in first year
- Entry: Dh300 for adults and Dh250 for children
- Owned by the Ilyas & Mustafa Galadari Group
- Opens August 31, 2016

Each day, hundreds of bears are surgically mutilated for their gall bile
on bear farms in China.
On most farms, surgery to enable bile extraction is
carried out by farm owners with no veterinary training.
During illness, drugs are sometimes administered, but when they are not effective, bears are commonly left to die.
Chinese specialists in bear farming techniques inform that for every two successful bile fistula implantations, there are another two or three bear deaths due to complications and infections.
During bile milking, the bears show signs of severe distress. Moaning and banging of heads against the cage is common, while some bears were seen to chew their own paws.
Between the ages of five and ten, bears may stop producing bile. They are then put in another cage, where they wait, either until death comes through sickness or starvation, or they are killed for their paws and gall bladders.
Recent developments show that approximately 9,000 bears are kept for bear bile farming.
The Chinese government has steadfastly refused to bow to public and international
pressure to stop this horrendous cruelty and close these farms. In fact, across China more than 10,000 moon bears remain in tiny cages never feeling the sun on their backs or grass under their feet. They can be kept like this for up to 30 years. This cruel practice continues despite the availability of many effective and affordable alternatives.
Bear Bile
product availability ...
Over the course of the past three years, WSPA and member societies have
surveyed hundreds of shops and companies in eight countries. A wide variety of
products were found including manufactured bear bile medicines, bear bile
powder, and bear gall bladders. Illegal bear products were most readily
available in the U.S. (91%), Malaysia (78%), Japan (77%), and Singapore (74%),
closely followed by Canada (67%), Indonesia (62%), Australia (49%) and Taiwan
Is Bear Bile on your shelf or in your diet?
In recent years, there has been a dramatic growth in the production of bear bile products,
which has spawned a market for a whole new range of items far removed from
the formulations of traditional Chinese medicine. Today, bile is used as an ingredient in
shampoo, wine, eye drops and all manner of pre-prepared ointments. In 1999, bottles of bear bile wine were even handed out as gifts for passengers on internal flights.
are many alternatives to Bear Bile
There are many alternatives to bear bile on the market,
containing the active constituent
found in bear bile: UrsoDeoxyCholic Acid (UDCA). It is estimated that 100,000 kg of synthesised
UDCA is already being consumed each year in China, Japan and South Korea,
and that the world consumption may be double this figure.
Many Chinese practitioners also state that there are at least 75 herbal alternatives that can replace the use of bear bile.

Stratagem Priority
Lowers the cooldown of all Stratagems by 40%. Increased supply algorithm priority allows the Helldiver to call in stratagems much more frequently.
Unlock Requirement[edit | edit source]
Stratagem Priority unlocks at rank 10 (2nd Lieutenant).
Gameplay Tips[edit | edit source]
- With Stratagem Priority, a Stratagem that has a cooldown will have 40% of its cooldown timer already filled up, instead of starting at zero. For the remainder of the cooldown period, the Stratagem's timer will refll at the normal rate.
- To get the most out of Stratagem Priority, fill your Stratagem slots with ones that can be re-used. Single-use Stratagems such as support weapons, backpacks or vehicles only have one use per slot; as such, there's no attached cooldown period.
- There are two Support Stratagems that, when fully upgraded, can be called down twice per Stratagem slot: the Resupply Pack and the SH-32 Directional Kinetic Shield. No cooldown period is necessary between uses.
Stratagem Cooldown Times[edit | edit source]
All cooldown times listed are in seconds. Note that the table below can be sorted in either ascending or descending order by clicking its headers.

Numerical simulation of soil nailed retaining systems with geosynthetic reinforcement as the facing support
This research numerically examines the stability of a bridge abutment reinforced with grouted nail with geosynthetic facing in service and ultimate load states. Recently, soil-nailing technique has become a widely accepted method to efficiently reinforce the in-situ earth retaining systems. Alt-hough, the face of the retaining systems is very often supported by reinforced concrete elements, recent advancements in geosynthetic reinforcements have shown a potential to use geogrid as the face support for earth retaining structures. However, using different types of reinforcing elements in a single system results in complex soil-reinforcement interactions. With advancements in computational capacities, nu-merical simulation methods have become popular to assess the performance and the stability of geostruc-tures. Despite the popularity of the computational methods for geosynthetic reinforced systems, there is still a debate on appropriate type of elements to simulate reinforcing members and their effects on the numerical predictions. The main difference between the various types of numerical elements (i.e. beam and geogrid elements) is considering the contribution of bending and shear resistances of nails and face support elements to the deformability and stability of retaining system. Several studies indicated that ig-noring the influence of bending and shear resistances result in slight conservatism. However, the influ-ence of such assumptions on the global ultimate stability of the system and safety factor has not received sufficient attention. Therefore, this research aims at evaluation of numerical results for retaining soil structures reinforced by grouted nail and geosynthetic materials under service and ultimate loads for a complex system that consists of pile, grouted nails and geogrid face support.
In present research a bridge abutment system consists of deep battered pile foundation with a nailed slope with flexible geogrid as the facing element is studied. In the numerical analyses, 2 different strategies were adopted that one accounted for the shear and bending resistance of the nails by modeling the nail as beam element. In the second approach, the nail was assumed to behave as an axial element with no bending and shear resistance and the nail was modeled by the use of geogrid element. Additionally, the behavior of the system in terms of the structural forces, mobilization of the shear strength on the domain and the defor-mation of the abutment face was examined at service and ultimate load states. Based on the numerical analyses conducted, the following conclusion can be drawn:
• Geosynthetic reinforcement with sufficient tensile strength and axial stiffness can be successfully used as the facing elements in the nailed slopes. The bending and shear resistance of the nail has a limited influence on the tensile force developed in the flexible geogrid facing.
• Considering the bending and shear resistance of the nails leads to an increase of about 10% in the numerically estimated tensile forces in the nail.
• The horizontal displacement of the abutment face at ultimate load state significantly differs when the nail is modeled as beam element.
• The shear forces at the connection between the piles head and the bank seat increases up to 100% when the nail is simulated as the beam while the distribution of the shear force in the pile length does not change significantly with type of the nail element.

I know, really...A month! A month since I last wrote something. I should be ashamed and really it's the procrastinator in me that I can blame. So much going on, so little time...Yes, tomorrow I will blog..I promise...well, as we can see...THAT didn't happen much at all this month!
SO, here's a little recap!
St. Baldricks! We were fortunate enough to be involved in this first annual Saint James, St. Baldricks head shaving extravaganza! There were 4 of us Bijou girls and two other hairdressers from other local salons. It was a great feeling to be able to network with other salons, this should really be done more often! We shaved over 70 heads, men and women, boys and girls! It was really...amazing seems like such a small word, it was impressive seeing everyone come together to support childhood cancer. The kids involved, listening to the parents talk. Kids are always the bravest. We were so honored to be a part of it, and we loved it so much that another group of Bijou girls will be doing the same thing in Auburn at the fire department! Such warmhearted girls, love those Bijou girls! Here are some articles about it to read. Click here and here! FYI, they weren't messing around, for their first time participating in St. Baldricks, they raised over 27k! We were thrilled to be a part of it!
At the end of the month, Courtney and Kim traveled on an adventure to Bumble and bumble!! For 4 days of learning how to network educate within our salon, we now have been fully trained in teaching classes to the girls at the salon. This was the most challenging four days in quite a long time, classes began promptly at 8:30 am and lasted till 5:30 pm. The day was jam packed and we learned so much. I find Bb University to be such a nurturing learning environment. They realize that people all learn in different ways, listening, seeing and experiencing. So they have us learn all three ways. It's quite interesting and I truly think it's a wonderful experience!! We were challenged with live models and they watched our every move, which is great to get such hands on learning experience with so much feedback!
Our other fun thing we have to share is two of our very talented clients have just begun a CSA garden! What is a "CSA"?
I've already secured my half share for my family and this will ensure that my family will once a week get a little bounty of veggies that are grown on a farm by people that I know are not putting chemicals all over them! They are growing them with love and I cannot wait to get those veggies. You can see their webpage - about us page that tells you all about them here! But look here too!
SO the great thing is, Rob and Ashley are letting me raffle off a half share for our Bijou friends. It's easy, you can do a couple of different things to get entered that are pretty darn simple, there is no catch, it's just if you are interested in having fresh veggies for a whole summer weekly! Here is what you can do:
- Go to facebook and watch out for the random questions I post every couple of days, if you comment, I'll add your name! You can do this as many times as you like!
- Leave a comment on our blog, I'll add your name to the raffle jar!
- Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Come into the salon and take a Marigold Farm business card and ask to enter your name!
So there you have it, an easy way to win a half share of the farm!!! (btw, it's valued at $275!!!)
My next project getting the newsletter done with our April Specials!!

Cooling is critical on an large motor. They generate heat like you really can't believe. Keeping them cool is a monumental task - and keeping them cool in summer traffic, at idle, with the AC on is next to impossible. Most cars came with wimpy 2-core radiators - AC cars typically came with 3-core radiators. Most had a "heavy duty cooling" package available - this usually means an upgrade to a seriously beefy 4-core radiator - maybe even a 5-core!
As you can see from the photos, the original unit in my 1973 Buick Electra was a weak 2-core unit. Lame - no wonder it would overheat in traffic. It was barely adequate when it was new and now it was old, clogged, and just not doing the job. It was time for a replacement, and I decided to go for an upgrade at the same time.
These radiators are available NEW from various aftermarket sources in exotic aluminum and as a more traditional copper-brass unit for very good prices. For reference, the unit for my Electra set me back about $170 and even came with an extra fitting in the side tank for a temperature gauge if needed. Check a variety of local parts stores and small radiator shops for prices - they can vary widely between places - I've seen up to triple the price between some places on some items. (Thought for the day: The same thing goes for heater cores...) If I can find a brand new (not re-cored) heavy-duty radiator for an old luxury boat of a car at a good price - image how easy and cheap getting one for a more common and popular car might be! Shop around, it's worth it.
If you carefully compare the size of the side tank on the new one, you can
see how much beefier the new 4-core radiator is. Since I forgot to photograph
the new radiator out of the car, I need to tell you that the core width on the
new unit is the same width as the side tanks - unlike the original unit where
the core was much thinner than the side tanks. When I first looked at them side
by side, all I could think was "Wow!". When it comes to radiators, size does
matter and bigger is almost always better. It's really hard to over-cool a car,
so I'd recommend you go for the biggest radiator your can squeeze into the space
you have.
If you've never done a radiator replacement before - I can tell you that it was a snap. It only took me about an extra hour in addition to the usual drain, flush, and re-fill the radiator routine that you do on a regular preventative maintenence process (you do do that, right? :-) - and much of that hour was spent cleaning up the grunge on the lower mounting locations for the radiator b/c mine were really nasty for some reason. Unless you get a unit that is a good bit larger (height, width, or depth) than your original unit, your original mounting brackets should work. You may need a little bit of gentle persuasion, but as long as it's close you'll be fine. Many GM's use little rubber insulators above and below the radiator with a top plate/bracket to "clamp" it in place. While it may not be a perfect fit, those little rubber insulators will usually flex a good bit to handle the larger radiator. Go slow, and make sure it's all going to be OK before you crank down on the mounting bolts. As long as the radiator isn't bouncing all over the place (you don't want it to hit the fan!), you'll probably be fine. Use common sense, and if you break it, you probably shouldn't have done whatever you did to break it. :-)
Remember to flush your cooling system before you remove the old
radiator! Get as much gunk out of the engine as possible so it doesn't clog up
your new unit right away. (Get a Prestone backflush kit and use it. It's well
worth the $10 or so it costs...) Also remember that the larger radiator will
probably take more coolant to fill than your original system, so you may need to
adjust your antifreeze amount accordingly to get the right 60/40 mix. Check the
manual for your car to see if it shows a different cooling capacity for a "Heavy
Duty" cooling option. If it does, then use that larger number as a baseline for
your refilling process. In my case I added about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon capacity
to the system so I needed a bit extra antifreeze to maintain the right mixture.
You may want to write down the approx number you end up with for capacity as a
reminder for later.
This is a seriously easy upgrade with a very noticeable difference. On my car, it made the difference between overheating in anything resembling stop-and-go traffic and having the temp gauge sit rock-solid at 180 degrees no matter what kind of traffic or weather I was stuck in. Very, um, cool.
Comments? Kudos? Got some parts you'd like to buy/sell/barter/swap? Nasty comments about my web page so far? You can email Mike or Debbie.

John McDonnell. Picture credit to: PoliticsHome.
John McDonnell's proposes to include a basic income pilot in the next Labour Party's manifesto, an intent which has been going on since 2016, at least. During 2018 a working group was formed, led by professor Guy Standing, a prominent economic advisor to McDonnell and specialist in basic income and related issues, giving rise to the publication and presentation in May 2019 of a detailed report about its applications within the UK's context. McDonnell dubs this new manifesto as "more radical" than the previous 2017 manifesto, probably also including the more urgent measures to curb carbon emissions, relating to the impending climate emergency.
McDonnell, a 40-year companion to Jeremy Corbyn in politics, is now sure that "at least one pilot" should be set up in the United Kingdom territory, as soon as the Labour Party gets elected to government and Corbyn sits as Prime Minister. This is still being internally drafted within Labour's top advisors, but McDonnell remains confident. He has said that "we've had [basic income pilot] bids from Liverpool, Sheffield, [and] a couple of other places". Meanwhile, in Scotland, a basic income feasibility study is being developed, involving the localities of Fife, Edinburgh, Glasgow and North Ayrshire.

Intel Kaby Lake refresh on track for late 2017 launch
Although the slow launch of Kaby Lake has yet to be completed, rumors are already swarming about the successor to the series. The next Core ix-8000 platform is expected to use a similar 14 nm fabrication process as Skylake and Kaby Lake processors due to low production yields from current 10 nm manufacturing technology. This would fall in line with recent reports from both TMSC and Samsung on the ongoing struggle and potential delay related to the 10 nm consumer processors.
According to the source, Kaby Lake processors will continue to launch for mobiles and laptops whereas its Coffee Lake successor could be exclusively for desktops. Of course, there's no stopping barebones manufacturers like Clevo from incorporating desktop Coffee Lake CPUs onto a notebook form factor. A hexa-core Coffee Lake processor could be in the works for a launch late next year.
Intel is in a position to either hasten or delay its Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake processors in response to AMD's new Ryzen platform. Both manufacturers are expected to make announcements regarding their respective CPU lineups this coming CES 2017.

No bus in the world is safer: Mercedes-Benz Travego Safety Coach displayed at the IAA show sold to Bohr Omnibus GmbH
- The Travego can already do more than future legislation requires
- Active Brake Assist 3: emergency braking for stationary obstacles
The Mercedes-Benz Travego Safety Coach displayed at the IAA show, the world's most important commercial vehicle exhibition, has been sold to Günter Bohr, General Manager of Bohr Omnibus GmbH. The display vehicle is already equipped with Active Brake Assist 3, which is to feature on regular production models from 2015.
The Travego can already do more than future legislation requires
Bus drivers are familiar with the situation: a sudden obstacle when rounding a bend, a sudden traffic tailback, a cyclist with no lights in the dark – hazards that require constant alertness and the ability to respond quickly. Active Brake Assist 3 is able to save lives in such situations – including the lives of other road users.
This is why legislation will require all newly registered touring coaches to be equipped with an emergency braking assistant from 1 November 2015. The system must be able to prevent an accident by autonomous braking from a speed of 80 km/h when approaching a slower-moving vehicle ahead with a maximum speed difference of 50 km/h. During emergency braking for a stationary obstacle from the same speed, the system must reduce the speed by at least 10 km/h. These requirements will become even more stringent from the autumn of 2018. The Travego with Active Brake Assist 3 is already capable of more than what the legislation will require in the second stage.
Active Brake Assist 3: emergency braking for stationary obstacles
It is something of a tradition for every generation of the Mercedes-Benz Travego high-deck touring coach to set new standards in safety technology. Once again the premium touring coach has the edge on its competitors: it is the first bus in the world to be available with the new Active Brake Assist 3. The preceding generation, Active Brake Assist 2, was already able to initiate a braking manoeuvre when the danger of a collision with slower vehicles ahead or stationary obstacles arose. The new ABA 3 system can do even more: it is able to initiate full brake application when stationary obstacles are encountered.
Bohr Omnibus GmbH
The travel company Bohr Reisen (proprietor Günter Bohr) was founded in 1986. On 1 January 2000 the company was reincorporated as Bohr Omnibus GmbH based in Frankfurt-Hahn, and today it is active throughout the bus and coach sector. Some 95 percent of its fleet consists of Mercedes-Benz buses.

Sidmouth bowlers make super start to new league season
PUBLISHED: 07:49 11 May 2018 | UPDATED: 07:49 11 May 2018
The Sidmouth Bowls Club outdoor season is now in full swing with the various leagues now under way, writes Carol Smith.
The ladies' Over-50s Blues team won their first league match of the season when they visited Pinces Gardens in Exeter.
This represents a great start to the season with the team banking all six points with the match result being 47-23.
The top rink was the one of Janet Thomson, Eileen Hewett and skip Jill Bishop, who won 29-10.
The Blues also were in action when they entertained Crediton Yellow and again they produced a terrific performance that saw them win 48-29 to bank another full set of six points.
The top rink in this match was the one of Jean Brimson, Janice Quinn and skip Carol Smith, who won 29-13.
This very popular ladies' league was set up by Crediton around 10 years ago with one division. These days there are two divisions with both Sidmouth Blue and Yellow playing in Division One.
The men's Over-60s League is also very popular. Set up in 1985/6 by Topsham bowler Derek Blatchford, it has grown from strength to strength over the years and now boasts eight divisions! Sidmouth's own Tony Broughton has been the league secretary for some 18 years and he also runs the league's wonderful website.
Sidmouth have four teams in the league, A, B, C and D. Last season the A team missed out on promotion from Division Two back to Division One by a margin of just two points!
The B team suffered relegation from Division Two into Division Three – better luck this campaign chaps! The C team this season play in Division Seven and the D team are competing in Division Eight.
There was a superb opening game win for the A team, who picked up six points from a 39-28 success over Ottery St Mary.

Intel has announced plans to open a joint AI research center in Haifa, Israel. The center will be run in a collaboration between Intel AI Research and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
Outside of Intel operations on the West Coast in the United States, Intel AI Research has offices in Munich, Germany; Bangalore, India; Beijing, China; and one in Haifa that has often employed Technion graduates.
Researchers contributing to the joint AI research center will be drawn from the school's computer science, electrical engineering, and industrial engineering departments.
"Technion intends to expand its activities in the fields of machine learning and intelligent technology in the next few years, and the joint activity with Intel is one of the first steps in this direction. We are working to raise unprecedented resources to support basic research in the field and, in parallel, to work with leading companies such as Intel to promote applications in a wide range of fields, including health care, autonomous vehicles, smart environments, home and industrial robots, and more," Technion professor Boaz Golany said in a statement.
The news was announced Monday at a ceremony at the institute that was attended by Intel CTO Dr. Michael Mayberry and AI products group general manager Naveen Rao.
Expansion of research operations has been a goal for several of the major companies in the AI industry. This year, Google said it plans to open AI research centers in Ghana and France, Nvidia is opening operations in Toronto and Seattle, and Samsung, which wants to employ 1,000 AI researchers by 2020, announced plans to open offices in Moscow, Toronto, and Cambridge.

The airport apron, apron, flight line, ramp, or tarmac is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, or boarded.[1] Although the use of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles, it is typically more accessible to users than the runway or taxiway. However, the apron is not usually open to the general public and a permit may be required to gain access. By extension, the term apron is also used to identify the air traffic control position responsible for coordinating movement on this surface at busier airports.
The use of the apron may be controlled by the apron management service (apron control or apron advisory) to provide coordination between the users.
The apron is designated by the ICAO as not being part of the maneuvering area. All vehicles, aircraft and people using the apron are referred to as apron traffic.
The US military typically refers to the apron area as the flight line.
Some in the general public and news media refer to the apron at airports as the tarmac even though most of these areas are paved with concrete, not tarmac.[2] Specific materials used include asphalt concrete (which itself is often inexactly called "tarmac," adding to the confusion), porous friction course, and Portland cement concrete.[3]
In the United States, the word ramp is an older term for an area where pre-flight activities were done; an apron was any area for parking and maintenance. Passenger gates are the main feature of a terminal ramp. The word apron is the ICAO and FAA terminology (the word ramp is not), so the word ramp is not used with this meaning outside the US, Canada, Maldives, and the Philippines.

Smaato are a mobile advertising and ad optimization company and they've recently announced their March figures on mobile ad click-through rates (CTR). According to Smaato, Symbian leads in their global OS CTR index, followed by feature phones, Windows Mobile, Apple, Android, Palm and lastly BlackBerry.
It's not necessarily a bad thing that BlackBerry users have a low CTR. It might have something to do with the way BlackBerry apps are serving these ads that aren't appealing to users, or simply BlackBerry users don't care for ads and don't want to click.
I have personally never clicked on a mobile ad and purchased, although I've clicked on many ads to find out more about the product or service. Ads can be informative and easy to digest, as long as they don't impeded the user experience to any significant degree.
I'm curious, have you ever clicked on a mobile ad, whether in an application or in browser?

Ready, Set, Versify!
National Poetry Month begins today, April 1st. And so…
Ready, Set, Versify!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I hope to write a poem a day
this month from April 1 till May.
They won't be long — they rarely are.
Four lines or five, then au revoir.
No need to worry what's in store:
My ADD cuts in before
I've time to wax verbose, prolix —
I used those last two words for kicks.

BILL MOYERS: This week on Moyers & Company…
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: It's our policies and our politics that have shaped our economy, and shaped it in ways that have not served most Americans. And an important part of those policies are our tax policies.

BILL MOYERS: Welcome. We continue our conversation with Joseph Stiglitz, who's one of the world's most influential economists, the man who has been most often cited by his colleagues in the field. He's a Nobel laureate, and he's mad as hell, infuriated by America's growing inequality as those at the top buy the politicians who write the rules that rig the system. He's especially angry at how the tax code has been manipulated and abused to place the burden on the earners of ordinary income, instead of on the rich and powerful most able to pay. But Joseph Stiglitz says there are solutions. Here's what he told us in our last episode: JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: We have a tax system that reflects not the interest of the middle. We have a tax system that reflects the interest of the one percent. And I want to do is create a tax system that has incentives to create jobs. And if you tell a corporation, look it, if you don't create jobs, you're taking out of our system, you're not putting back, you're going to pay a high tax. But if you put back into our system by investing, then you can get your tax rate down. They're willing to take but not to give back.
BILL MOYERS: And now Joseph Stiglitz has come up with a plan for reform, a 27-page white paper for the Roosevelt Institute here in New York City, where he's a senior fellow. Its proposals could make the tax code fair, address our fiscal problems, shrink inequality, and help rebuild our country. Whatever else you do this summer, read it. Then, this fall, ask the candidates for Congress where you live if they have read it, too. Joseph Stiglitz, welcome back.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: It's nice to be back.
BILL MOYERS: You said in a recent speech, "An economic system that only delivers for the very top is a failed economic system." You were pronouncing judgment: America's economy has failed. Has our system failed?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Unfortunately, that's what the numbers say. The median income of the American, median means half above, half below, median American today is lower than it was almost a quarter a century ago. Our economy has grown over the quarter century. Let's be clear about that.
In a particular sense, but all of that growth has gone to the top. So you look at the middle, they've stagnated. And if you look at, say, an important demographic group, males, median income of a full-time male worker today is lower than it was 40 years ago.
BILL MOYERS: 1972 I think you say.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: That's right.
BILL MOYERS: Amazing.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: It's amazing. And Americans have not yet grasped the reality of where we are. That our economic system has not been delivering for most Americans. And the fact that this has been true and that we have no longer a country where there's opportunity, where the life prospects of a young person are so dependent on the income and education of his parents, means that our view of the way our economic system works has to change.
My view is that these are not inevitable. These are not just the result of the laws of economics. You know if it were just inevitable, just the laws of economics, you'd sit back as an economist, you'd say, well, that's the way it is. You know, that's, nature didn't deal us a good hand.
But the same laws of economics are operating in other countries that have done better for their typical citizen, that have provided more opportunity for more of their citizens. So it's not a result of our, of laws of economics. Or at least not a result of the laws of economics alone. It's the way our, it's our policies and our politics that have shaped our economy, and shaped it in ways that have not served most Americans. And an important part of those policies are our tax policies.
BILL MOYERS: Can you fix a point where inequality becomes unconscionable?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: It's not just the level of equality, it's the form of inequality, the nature of inequality, the sources of inequality. So, for instance, give you two aspects of America's inequality that I find particularly unacceptable.
Corporate CEOs, that we were talking before, rather than making a more, a better product, spend their time lobbying to get their tax rates down. The bottom line is the same, if you make a better product or if you get your taxes down. It may be easier to lobby your Congressman than to produce a better product. The result of that? A weaker economy, an unfair politics undermining democracy, more inequality. But that's the direction we've been going.
So that's one example of what I call the unconscionable inequality. When it comes out of that kind of way that you can get the larger piece of the pie, not by making the pie bigger but by taking a bigger slice of an existing pie. The second aspect that is really been troubling about American inequality is the lack of equality of opportunity.
And the problem is that inequality of outcome typically translates into inequality of opportunity. America likes to think of itself as the land of opportunity, the American dream. The statistics show that America is among the advanced countries with the least equality of opportunity. It's something that's hard for us to accept, it's something hard for others to accept. But that's what the numbers show.
BILL MOYERS: So this is why Thomas Piketty in his book, "Capital in the 21st Century," is concerned about this enormous transfer of wealth that is about to happen from all the billionaires and multi-millionaires transferring their money to the next generation.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: That's right. And a quite legitimate concern that we are creating a new plutocracy. And so what I've been trying to argue in this paper is that doesn't have to be. We can have a tax system that can help create a fairer society. Only ask the people at the top to pay their fair share. It's not asking a lot. It's just saying, you know, those in the top one percent shouldn't be paying a lower tax rate than somebody much further down the scale. Shouldn't have the opportunity to move his money offshore and keep it in an unlimited IRA account.
And that's what really what my work has been about, to try to explain what's going on, to try to explain that it's not inevitable, that it's not just a matter of economics, that it is a matter of policies and politics, that there are alternatives.
But that they won't happen on their own. That there are strong forces political forces trying to grab a larger share of the economic pie to exacerbate the already present distortions to favor the upper one percent. And that unless the others get together and try to act as a countervailing force things won't change.
BILL MOYERS: Wouldn't they be arguing that, well, they pay a lot more taxes because they do make this money and why they shouldn't be able to keep as much as they have, are keeping after they paid their share.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Well, that's the problem. They haven't paid their share. The point is that they're getting, say, the top one percent gets 22.5 percent of the income. That doesn't really fully include all these unrealized capital gains. So, it really doesn't really capture the full degree of inequality. The question is because they are so wealthy, they have the ability to pay an even larger share of the taxes to our country. But instead they're using their money to avoid paying taxes. You know, these offshore tax havens are not something that we need to make our economy grow.
We have a wonderful financial center in New York. It's wonderful both at what it does and what it doesn't do. But it certainly has the capacity of doing what any financial center offshore in the Cayman Islands.
I've never heard anybody say, oh, you know, the Cayman Islands really has a capability of managing money much better than New York. You know, those people in New York just don't know how to do those things.
BILL MOYERS: You say that we could stop these tax havens overnight. How?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Well, you know, we did that, something almost, very similar after 9/11. We realized that these tax havens were also being used for funneling money to terrorists. And we started figuring out what they were doing and we put the pressure on them and that stopped almost overnight. Now I was giving a talk on one occasion to, in one of these tax havens. And I don't know why, but they sometimes invite me to give a lecture. Maybe they think that it's a penance for their sins. So I was telling them how bad it was for the global economy, especially bad for developing countries because these tax havens are also used for corruption, money laundering, narcotics, you know, all of these kinds of things.
And after my talk a couple of the bankers came up to me and said, you know, you got us wrong. We don't do money laundering. We don't do corruption, we don't do narcotics. We just do tax avoidance. And that was their business model. And it gives a mindset of what this is about. And totally unnecessary. These off shore tax havens exist to avoid taxes and to avoid regulations and the other things that, so it's avoiding responsibility.
I want to put it in a broader context. Corporations, are corporations. People, should we treat corp-- you know, the point is that what the Supreme Court decision of saying corporations have the right to contribute to campaigns as if they were people. But the interesting thing is while we give them those rights, we haven't made them, given them those responsibilities. If when corporations do misdeeds, we typically don't hold them accountable. Look what the corporations, the banks did to our economy in 2008. Have they been held responsible? Not really.
So what we're saying is, oh they ought to have free speech, they ought to have the right to contribute unlimited amounts to distort our politics. But, by the way, once they do something wrong like create a financial, global financial crisis, we'll just give them more money. We won't make them accountable or their officers accountable for what they did.
BILL MOYERS: There was a remarkable moment in an interview that Jon Stewart did with Timothy Geithner about Geithner's new book. And there's a moment in which Geithner says we had to save them from their mistakes. They didn't pay for their mistakes. The country did.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Exactly. And, you know, he makes a very big point about saying they paid back all the money. Well, first of all, there was a shell game. The Federal Reserve lends the money at close to zero interest rates. They lend the money back to the government at much higher interest rates.
Look it, if the government lent me hundreds of billions of dollars at a zero interest rate, I, too, could become a wealthy person by just investing in government bonds. This doesn't take a genius, a 12 year old could do it. And yet, they walked off with bonuses for doing that. And they used that money to help pay back the government. So this is a kind of shell game that would do any con artist proud. But when somebody brought, you know, makes an accident, somebody gets injured, what we did was analogous to: we take the perpetrator, the guy who was the drunk driver to the hospital, but we leave the guy that has been hit on the street.
And then we say, oh, by the way, you don't have to pay for any damage that you've done. So even after they paid back the government the real question is who's responsible for all the damage that's been done to our economy? The people have lost their job, that lost their home? The banks haven't paid back a cent of that liability. And that's a real corporate responsibility.
BILL MOYERS: So, how did you come to bring this sense of moral responsibility to the study of economics, this notion of a social contract? Was there a defining fork in the road?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Probably was no defining fork in the road. I had the good fortune, you might say, of growing up in Gary, Indiana. An industrial town. Most people would say, that's not good fortune. But it was good fortune in that it exposed me to the real America.
My mother was a primary school teacher. Dedicated. They were both very both dedicated. And, but Gary was an industrial city, marked by a lot of poverty, discrimination, episodic unemployment, business cycle going up and down. You couldn't help but feel that the market economy, capitalism, wasn't working quite the way that some of the people who say it's this wonder of wonders.
When I was an undergraduate at Amherst College I had thought I was going to be a physics major, theoretical physics. I really loved mathematics, loved trying to understand how the world worked. In my junior year I said, you know, what really motivates me is trying to understand our social problems, our economic problems, I want to become an economist.
Then I went to MIT, and never lost that original motivation for being an economist even as I was working on some very abstract, abstruse, mathematical economics issues about the consequences of asymmetry of information.
It was all partly to try to understand why do we have so much unemployment? Why do we have discrimination? Why is the world that some economists depict, something that works like a clock, beautifully, why is that not right? Why is that so inconsistent with the world that I see? And so, that was always in the back of my mind as I was working on these more abstruse theories. And--
BILL MOYERS: So, is that the heart of what you call, or is called asymmetrical information, that contributed to your receiving the, your work in, that brought about the Noble Prize?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: That's right.
BILL MOYERS: Asymmetrical information. What is that?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: It's that some people know something that other people don't know. Very simple idea. But the whole theory of perfect markets that the devotees of Adam Smith and Milton Friedman, and all these people who think that markets work perfect, totally ignored.
So, the idea was that markets where people have different information, where some people know more than others, where markets work imperfectly, are fundamentally different from this world that they had described, where there was perfect information. You know, if worlds were perfect information, wouldn't be any discrimination, there wouldn't be any of this monopolies and all, you know, those kinds of perfections are not part of the world that we live in. And so what my research did is to help clarify, and with other people's research, help clarify why our economy doesn't work quite so smoothly as the advocates of free markets have claimed.
Why we had a crisis in 2008. You know, that's not the way market economies are supposed to operate. Why it is, you know, the basic law of economics is you have supply and demand. With supply, the law of supply and demand, there's not supposed to be unemployment.
You know, we have 20 million Americans who would like a full-time job but can't get one. We have an economy where, you know, in 2009, '10 we were throwing people out of houses. We had homeless people and empty homes. That's not the way a market economy is supposed to operate. There's so many aspects that are so central to our economy that seem out of sync with that theory of perfect markets.
And the evidence is so overwhelming that our markets don't work perfectly, that markets can and are an important force. But we have to shape markets. Come back to our theme of taxes, taxes are one of the ways we shape markets.
If our tax system says speculation is going to be taxed at a lower rate, you're going to get more speculation. If our tax system says if you keep your money abroad, you don't have to pay taxes, you're going to get more money abroad and you're going to get less job creation inside America. If your taxes say we want to encourage real investments in America, then you can get more investment in America. So I'm an economist who believes that incentives matter. But I also believe that you have to shape incentives and that markets on their own don't necessarily shape them the right way.
And that when we have a distorted tax system, distorted by a distorted political system that has given a huge amount of weight to the upper one percent, to the corporations, then that kind of distorted political system leads to a distorted tax system, which leads to a distorted economic system, which leads to an economy that is not performing as well for most Americans.
BILL MOYERS: There's a quiet urgency in this white paper. I also read an excerpt of your speech when you received the Daniel Moynihan Prize for social science research. And you said in that speech that this country is at another pivotal moment in history. What do you mean by that?
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Well, what I was referring to at that moment was there had been two periods in our history where inequality had risen to what I thought was an unconscionable level. The Gilded Age, the end the 19th century. And the roaring '20s, right before the Great Depression. In both of those instances we stepped back from the brink. We realized where we were going as a country. We said, that's not where we want to go.
And the Gilded Age was followed by the Progressive Era, anti-trust policies trying to get at the monopolies, getting at the, some of the sources of this inequality that was undermining our society. The roaring '20s was followed by the legislation creating social security, created labor legislation that, minimum wages, maximum hours. Lots of things that we take for granted now but are a part of our social fabric.
The question I asked was inequality has now gotten back to the level, that peak that it had back in 1928 before the Great Depression. Got back to that same level back 2008. So, the question I posed at that point was will we, again, pull back from the brink like we did at the end of the 19th century, like we did in the roaring '20s? I'm hopeful. But there's one note of caution.
And that is, have our politics changed? Have decisions like Citizens United changed the power of money so that the inequalities in income and wealth that are so great today translate into more political inequality than they did? That's an open question. And in my mind that's what this battle is about.
BILL MOYERS: Joseph Stiglitz, there's a lot more in these 27 pages than we have touched on in our time together. We have posted your paper, "Reforming Taxation to Promote Growth and Equity" on our website and urge people to download it and read it whole. Meanwhile, thank you for joining me and sharing your time and your ideas.
JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ: Thank you very much.
BILL MOYERS: There's much more about tax reform and Joseph Stiglitz at our website, BillMoyers.com. I'll see you there, and I'll see you here, next time.

Hey, all you Creampie freaks! Do you know what an Asian S-P-I-N-N-E-R is? Well, look below at the 85lb. a piece of Asian ass I discovered this week. This week's Creampie video features sexy fuck toy, Nat. We normally define a spinner as a fuck toy that is less than 100lbs and you can basically just sit her on your cock and spin her round n round n round. Let's face it, the fantasy concept of having a HOT rotating pussy just going up n down on your pole till you blast your load deep inside her fuck tunnel is like umm WOW! Well, Nat is definitely a spinner and I was lucky enough to fuck her tiny pussy and fill it with my large load. Nat came into the scene weighing 85lbs, but after the massive internal load she received, she now weighs 86lbs!

Grain growers will have an opportunity to compare early and main season maturity wheat and barley trials, as well as hybrid wheat and new release bread wheat and durum varieties at the Tosari Crop Research Centre field day at Pampas on October 1.
This will continue the series of field days hosted at the 748ha research farm on the Condamine River, south west of Toowoomba. The grains industry owned farm was purchased in 2017 and is operated by Queensland Crop Research Ltd (QCR Ltd) on behalf of Australian grain growers.
QCR Ltd chairman and Goondiwindi grain grower Tom Woods said work was underway to develop the farm into a world-class grains applied research, development, extension (RD&E) and training facility.
"The research farm is in its infancy and while research work has continued thanks to our irrigation capacity, the current dry season has had an impact on trials," Mr Woods said.
"But as growers, researchers and agronomists we know you can also learn a lot by continuing to run research trials during tough years."
Mr Woods said industry's response to having a grower-owned research farm located on the Darling Downs had been "very positive" and growers already recognised the centre as being a significant and important resources in terms of on-going, grass-roots driven RD&E.
The farm is one of Australia's largest cropping research stations and offers researchers the capability and capacity to run efficient short and long-term trials. It also has significant on-farm water storage, along with bore and river irrigation options which has allowed research work to continue during the current dry period.
"This field day is an opportunity for growers to come and see this farm, which they have a financial stake in, and hear firsthand the results from research work being done here," Mr Woods said.
"Tosari Crop Research Centre is open to public and private organisations of research and development activities which will benefit growers and its location – close to established scientific institutions in Toowoomba and Warwick – means researchers can do both summer and winter farming trials."
On offer at the October field day will be information and trial sites showcasing:
- Grains Research and Development Corporation's (GRDC) National Variety Trials in early and main season wheat and barley. Breeding companies will be available to answer questions.
- Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries with the latest Desi and Kabuli chickpea germplasm.
- Crown rot resistant and tolerant lines will be presented by the University of Sydney, CSIRO and the University of Southern Queensland. This is also a GRDC project.
- Hybrid wheat lines and hybrid production will be demonstrated by the University of Sydney.
- Australian Grain Technologies and Longreach Plant Breeders have plots of new releases of bread wheat and durum.
- VNET Precision Farming will have their JD MaxEmerge demonstration planter on display and be on hand to answer grower questions.
- New and improved Weedit from Croplands. Plus updates on new nozzle technologies to support the 2,4D management strategies for summer.
The Tosari Crop Research Centre field day is on:
- When: October 1 from 8am until midday
- Where: Yarramalong Road, 1149 Millmerran-Leyburn Road, Tummaville. Parking on Yarramalong Road.
Morning tea and lunch provided by Brookstead State school P&C.
QCR Ltd directors will also be on hand for the event. The current board includes Goondiwindi grain grower Tom Woods, former GRDC Northern Regional Panel Chairman James Clark, southern New South Wales grain grower Murray Scholz, Elders Northern Zone Technical Services Manager Maree Crawford and grain grower John Sheppard, Iredale, Toowoomba.
