The Jaguar XJ-Series is a complete series of luxury sedans produced and sold by British car manufacturer Jaguar. Jaguar introduced the first car in the XJ-Series in 1968. Since then, all of Jaguar's successive flagship cars have been a part of this series. The original Jaguar XJ was the last Jaguar made with the involvement of company founder Sir William Lyons. The latest model in the Jaguar XJ-Series was launched in 2009.
The Jaguar XJ-Series spans four generations and close to half a century. However, until recently there were very few styling changes between each generation. The Jaguar XJ-Series is known for being the complete embodiment of traditional Jaguar styling. This, however, is only in terms of the exterior. Inside the car, you can see a range of transformations through the generations. All-aluminum frames, powerful V-8 engines, and other high-tech features such as navigation, Bluetooth, and cruise control have been added to the Jaguar XJ-Series.
The Jaguar XJ-Series is characterized by a combination of Jaguar tradition and technologically advanced performance and features. This combination of old and new worked for some time with the British car manufacturer, but it eventually failed. The failure of the Jaguar XJ-Series put the company in a dangerous position, which caused it to make drastic changes to the series. Jaguar has breathed new life into the XJ-Series with a fresh and radical fourth generation.
The Jaguar XJ-Series was modified in the year 2009 as a completely new generation. The fourth generation in the XJ-Series does away with the series-type numbering of the previous generations, and shares none of the classic style of the older XJ models. Although the in-house name of the latest Jaguar XJ-Series car is X351, it is known to the world simply as the Jaguar XJ.
The 2009 Jaguar XJ-Series luxury sedan is known for completely redefining Jaguar's style. Jaguar cars were known to be outdated and unremarkable-looking on the outside, but the new Jaguar XJ completely changes this perception. This luxury sedan has gained rave reviews across the world, and the huge risk that Jaguar took to change its image has paid off. The new Jaguar XJ is loaded with the refinement of a German luxury car and has the spirit and agility of the Jaguar XK series.
The new Jaguar XJ-Series is fitted with a high-tech, naturally aspirated, 5.0-liter V-8 engine that the earlier XF and XJ cars share. Jaguar also offers the car with a supercharged version of the V-8 and a V-6 diesel engine in Europe. The car itself is amazingly comfortable to sit and drive around in, and it scores high marks in terms of handling, suspension, and sheer quality.
The first car in the Jaguar XJ-Series is the XJ6. It uses a 2.8-liter and 4.2-liter version of the renowned Jaguar XK engine. The debut of this car marked the beginning of the Jaguar XJ-Series I. The XJ12, another iconic Jaguar car introduced in 1970, became a part of this series.
The Jaguar XJ-Series II received a slight facelift in the middle of 1973, and the changes would be seen in XJ6 and XJ12 cars beginning in the 1974 model year. This first generation is known for its poor build. Consumers also saw the introduction of the XJ coupe, which faced several problems from the start.
In 1979, the Jaguar XJ-Series III kick-started with a facelift of the XJ6 and XJ12. The changes include thicker bumpers, which consist of more rubber than those on previous models. There are also changes in the grilles, door handles, headlights, and rooflines of the cars. A large, 5.3-liter V-12 engine powers the XJ12.
The first generation of the Jaguar XJ-Series includes the XJ6 and the XJ12. 1992 saw the production of these two iconic cars finally come to an end. The company struggled after the Jaguar XJ-Series halted, but a short revival occurred with the introduction of the X300. This marked the beginning of the second generation.
This car is designed to bring back the image of the curvaceous Jaguar XJ-Series cars. After production of this car stopped in 1997, Jaguar released the next car in the Jaguar XJ-Series--the X308. The exterior of this car is more or less the same as that of the X300. Under the hood, a V-8 engine powers the X308, rather than the V-12 engine in the X300. The production of this car was halted in 2002, marking the end of the second generation. Over time, mechanical upgrades were made, but the basic design of the car hails from the 1960s, so the Jaguar XJ-Series began to get outclassed by the more modern-looking BMW series.
In 2003, the third generation of the Jaguar XJ-Series was launched with the X350. The car's look and style is similar to that of old Jaguars, but the car itself is completely reengineered. It's larger and taller than other generations of the Jaguar XJ-Series, and has many high-tech features. The X358 followed up with minimal changes to the Jaguar XJ-Series.

Like Steak and Eggs – Part 2 (of 2)
Again, this will be talking about Post-Roast Development and Cooling Time considerations depending on the ambient environment you are roasting in.
Ambient air temperature, batch size relative to the size of your cooling tray, humidity, and cleanliness are factors that can either be controlled or counteracted with knowledge and forethought.
Further descriptions of factors that will play in this and what to think about in relative to how combat negative effects.
Whether you have a fixed or variable speed fan motor, how clean you keep all aspects of your airflow system will help or hinder the total cool down time of your coffee post discharge, regardless of ambient temperature, humidity or batch size. Ex. - A 20lb roast cooling in the tray of a machine which has been neglected and many parts of the airflow system covered in build-up, especially the impeller, could take just as long to cool down as a 40lb roast on the same machine which is clean. Meaning, a dirty machine can add from 30 seconds to over a minute longer, roasting in the same air conditions.
Batch size relative to the size of your cooling tray.
The next thing to take in to account is the thought of how thick the bean mass is in the cooling tray. Depending on your style of roasted coffee being discharged from your roaster, it can range from 398 degrees F. to 460 degrees F., give or take some. The bean mass thickness relative to both width and fan power will affect the time it takes to cool down the complete roast. Also keep in mind temperature of the metal surfaces of the cooling tray, agitation arm, and walls will heat up, thus slowing the cool down time as well, especially as you are in a flow of back to back roasts.
Ambient temperature.
With cleanliness and the batch size working for you, the next and greatest aspect to cool down time that can have an effect is the ambient temperature of air that is being drawn through the bean mass in the cooling tray. It could mean a difference of over 1 minute of cool down time from cold to hot ambient conditions. If you are updating your roast profiles season to season (Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter) for weather changes, (or to combat coffee aging, for example) there will be unseasonable day(s) every now and then. You must try to have the forethought to alter how you finish your roast of the current working profile, to keep to "cup profile". If you are blessed with working in an environment where the air temperature is controlled or live in a climate that is pretty stable year round, you are a very fortunate minority!
As a roaster, you know that moisture can be both your friend and enemy when it comes to the raw product. When it comes to the cooling time it is the same. Humidity is the enemy of coffee once roasted and as the degassing stage has ending, when it really has the ability to penetrate the bean. It is also the enemy of post discharge coffee as it is cooling down when the ambient air is hotter, yet works for you in cold ambient air conditions in cool down time. So from hot day to hot day, it will take longer to cool down and end the roasting process when the humidity is much higher, and vice versa for cold ambient temperatures.
So now the effects and how you may want to counteract them. While talking about this with another roaster, trying to explain the effects of each of the things mentioned, it was hard to talk about just one and how to use it to your benefit, for the sake of the coffee. EVERYTHING effects EVERYTHING. All of the aspects come into play.
The number one thing to take out of this is that you want the coffee to end roasting at the point where all possible flavor characteristics that your coffee's flavor profile was developed for are achieved and how to keep any unwanted things from showing up in the cup.
So back to steak and eggs. Your coffee, like steak and eggs, will continue to roast once discharged from your roaster. The time it continues roasting will be affected by the effects mentioned above and the previous post. To be as generic and basic as possible, when the ambient conditions are hotter, the coffee will take longer to end roasting and when it is cooler it will end roasting quicker.
You have the ability to control at least two of the mentioned factors that can make a large impact, roaster cleanliness and batch size. As stated previously, keeping your roaster clean is a safety aspect that should always be well maintained. If kept clean it will have a positive impact on the flavor characteristics and a much larger ability to keep negative aspects from coming into development. The other thing you can have control over is batch size relative to cooling tray size. As you know, the less mass you have in your cooling tray the quicker it will cool, except for when there is not enough mass to cover the tray completely during agitation. It can be very helpful if you have the ability to roast only dedicated batch sizes. This will help out very much and ease the mind when working profiles. Ex. – If you only roast 2 sizes of batches, it will eliminate the extra variables when cupping, not only when developing, but also during production, creating and matching all flavor characters. If you were to roast many different batch sizes for a single coffee, you need to account for much more per roast on the cupping table, being not just end roasting time in the tray, but bean mass in the roaster drum and how it effects the roast. Though, like I mentioned, everything effects everything, and all factors need to be taken into thought.
Even those who do roast in an environment where you have a/c and heat to keep the ambient temperature at a steady level, you will need to still worry at times in regards to the humidity. Say you keep you roasting area at 68 degrees F. If the temperature were to fall below that, the a/c will not kick on and humidity can begin to rise. With that, you would not want to rely on a dehumidifier that can take out all extra and need moisture out of the air and especially out of the coffee.
Some Negative Effects and ideas of approach.
Let us say you start off creating a profile for a coffee in a normal, non-extreme ambient environment exactly as you/quality control/business owners have decided on your profile is locked in, and within your profile your post-crack development time is 15%. You created that with not accounting for the post discharge continued roasting. Then the weather/seasons change. Say you have a coffee that you develop in early, mild fall conditions, and the weather suddenly goes cold. Your coffee now once discharged will end roasting and cool quicker than when said profile was created. Now it is tasting a little underdeveloped from where it was previously. The acidity may be a little more pronounced but you have lost the body originally developed and a bit of woody, cereal, or bready note is showing through. To counteract this, one can extend the post crack development or further degree of temperature to counter the lack of post discharge continued development and cool down time. Taking this on the other extreme, you develop and create a coffee profile in the mild spring conditions and the weather/season changes. Here you may start to notice the coffee getting a little dryer, flavors characteristics are less prominent, roasty, baked, and acidity a little faded or sour. Now one can counter out this will a shorter post crack development or lower degree of temperature to counter the extended post discharge development and cool down time.
As AWLAYS, no two coffees are the same and should not be treated the so. There is no one method to counter act the post crack development relative to post discharge continued development. Maybe one coffee in the winter likes going a little longer in development time post crack prior to discharge, or opposite, same post crack development as originally profiled but reaching a further degree of temperature prior to discharge. Odds are it may be a little of each, slightly extended post crack and further in degree. This will be something you as the roaster will have to work with in order to achieve what the flavor profile coffee was originally set out to be.
As a roaster operator it is important to cup your roasts regularly and focus on how seasonal ambient environmental conditions are changing your end result in the cup. Try to take into thought when the profile was created for a "said" coffee and where it is now.
Again, having dictated/dedicated batch sizes for each coffee will eliminate some of the headache.
One more time, everything effects everything, so as temperatures swing, humidity rises and falls, and you are roasting different batch sizes, take all these into consideration. You can get ahead of all negative impacts and feel good with a product that will not only be good on the cupping table, but in the end consumer's cup.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Netflix stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Netflix stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Netflix shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. We believe continuing subscriber addition and expanding original content portfolio will help the company to sustain growth going forward. Moreover, rapid international penetration and expanding regional content are major growth drivers. However, we note the company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. The company's increasing marketing spends and higher investments on original and acquired content will continue to hurt profitability, at least in the near term. Moreover, saturation in the domestic market poses concern. The company's increase in subscription charges in the U.S. might lead to a backlash on subscriber growth going forward. Further, rising competition from players like Amazon and Apple is a major headwind." (7/12/2018) 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We also tweaked our cost forecasts moderately lower and raised our '19 and beyond subscriber forecasts. The changes drove a $20 increase in our target price to $420. NFLX INVESTMENT THESIS REMAINS COMPELLING- NFLX offers consumers an increasingly compelling unique entertainment experience on virtually any device, w/o commercials at a relatively low cost." (4/17/2018) 3. Aegis analysts commented, "We project 1.65M and 6.0M Domestic and International net additions, respectively, for a total of 7.65M net adds (vs. 8.3M in 4Q17). We expect Netflix to report results above our estimates but guide conservatively, or cautiously, for 2Q. 1Q subscriber net additions should be driven by Jessica Jones, Altered Carbon, partnerships with Altice, T-Mobile DT, Cox, and Verizon (low churn subs), a continuation of the appeal of The Crown, Bright, and Stranger Things from 4Q17, in addition to increased marketing spend and overall secular trends of media viewership shifting to the Internet. 2Q18, is up against a tough YoY content slate compare, which should lead to a less robust guide. For 2Q18, we project 1.5M Domestic net additions and 5.5M International net additions. The stock, in our view, continues to respond to subscriber outperformance and guidance and we are unlikely to see significant strength in the latter." (4/16/2018) Has Netflix been receiving favorable news coverage? Media stories about NFLX stock have trended somewhat negative recently, according to InfoTrie. InfoTrie ranks the sentiment of media coverage by analyzing more than six thousand blog and news sources. The firm ranks coverage of companies on a scale of negative five to positive five, with scores nearest to five being the most favorable.

CHARLESTON, Ill. -- Nick Price and Cullen Park of the Golden Eagle pitching staff held the Panthers of EIU to just four hits on the day en route to Tech's 3-2 win in this weekend's series finale in Charleston.
Both teams went scoreless through four as Tech's starting right-hander Price allowed only one man on with a solitary walk in the second inning, and the Golden Eagles finally put the first run of the game on the board in the top of the fifth inning.
Michael Morris led off with a base hit through the right side and advanced into scoring position on Tevis Sherfield's sac bunt to third base, and moved to third when lead-off man Austin Wulf ripped a single up the middle. A fielder's choice play awarded Casanova Donaldson an RBI as his at-bat served to score Morris, giving TTU a 1-0 lead.
The Panthers answered in the bottom of the frame with a run of their own, however, when Ryan Dineen clocked a two-out double down the right field line and scored the tying run on a throwing error during Tyler Schweigert's at-bat.
With a 1-1 tie score, Tech left two men stranded on base in each the sixth, seventh and eighth innings while Price surrendered just one hit over those three innings to the Panthers. The fate of the game boiled down to the ninth inning, which proved to be in favor of the Golden Eagles and to the disappointment of EIU's Matt Miller.
Miller pitched the final 2.2 innings for the Panthers and, in a one-out situation in the top of the ninth, veteran Chad Oberacker stepped up to bat for Tech and delivered a single through the right side. He moved to second on a failed pick-off attempt as the go-ahead run. Zach Stephens followed up with a walk, and both runners moved up a bag on a wild pitch by Miller.
Ben Burgess got on board on a fielder's choice play at the plate that tagged Oberacker with the second out of the inning, but Chad Hayes proved the hero again with a two-shot double into left center that put Tech up, 3-1.
EIU threatened to rally in the bottom of the ninth as McManus led off with a single down the right field line, but Cullen Park took the hill in relief and, after allowing a single by Ben Thoma and a sacrifice bunt to pinch pitter Nick Priessman, induced two groundouts to get his second save of the year and preserve the win for Price.
Sunday's victory upped Price's record to 3-2 on the season and added two more strikeouts to his stats. Joe Greenfield worked 5.1 innings for the Panthers, allowing seven hits and notching four Ks of his own, but Miller shouldered the loss and a fall to 0-2 on the year.
The Golden Eagles will return to Cookeville to host Belmont in their first home night game of the season, with the first pitch set for 6 p.m.

Johnson, Schuette Sue to Count Late Military Ballots
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and Attorney General Bill Schuette today announced they are filing suit against 24 communities to require local clerks to extend the counting deadline for ballots that were not sent by the deadline set by Michigan election law so the voices of military and overseas voters are heard.
"The men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms must be able to participate in our democracy," Johnson said. "While the vast majority of local clerks met the deadline, we must ensure that all military and overseas voters' voices are heard in the Nov. 6 election."
Johnson and Schuette are pursuing legal action to ask judges to order local clerks to extend the counting deadline for military and overseas voters who applied for a ballot by the Sept. 22 deadline by the number of days the ballots were delayed. Legislation supported by Johnson that would allow the secretary of state to extend the counting deadline without the need for court intervention is before the state Senate after House approval.
"Americans have the right to make their voice heard on Election Day and military personnel who put their lives on the line for our freedoms should be no exception," Schuette said.
Despite repeated reminders from the Michigan Department of State Bureau of Elections and other groups, clerks in 24 local communities reported that they did not send out 38 military and overseas ballots 45 days before the Nov. 6 election, as required.
More than 8,700 ballots were requested before the deadline. That means that more than 98 percent of clerks sent the ballots in time and the number of late ballots is significantly less than during the August primary election when 155 ballots were sent to military and overseas voters past the deadline.
Bureau of Elections staff sent multiple reminders to all 1,517 local clerks about their responsibility to send out the ballots by the deadline. Bureau of Elections staff also worked with the Michigan Townships Association and the Michigan Municipal League to inform local clerks about the deadline.
Military and overseas voters still can apply for an absentee ballot. Specific directions can be found at the Michigan Voter Information Center at www.Michigan.gov/vote under "Military and Overseas Voting." Clerks may send ballots via email to military and overseas voters if the voter prefers. All voters can visit the Voter Information Center site to view the candidates and questions that will be on their ballot.
As a former clerk, Johnson founded OPERATION: Our Troops Count when she was Oakland County clerk to push for laws that would allow military ballots to be emailed. Already, Michigan has made a number of improvements to how military and overseas voters cast ballots, including:
- Expansion of a federal write-in absentee ballot to include state and local candidates and ballot questions for overseas military and their families. Voters who use the ballot return it by mail to the appropriate clerk.
- An electronic ballot system that allows clerks to easily email ballots to overseas and military voters. This move can save as much as two weeks in arrival and response times.
- An online ballot tracker – at www.Michigan.gov/vote – that allows voters to check on their absentee ballot status.

I wouldn't recommend music particularly, mainly because lyrics don't worry about grammar or standard English usage.
If you have the option, change the language when you're watching TV or films. Change it to English, or at least put the English subtitles on.
Another good site is TED. It's full of interesting videos in English. They are good to actually watch and concentrate on, but there's no reason why you shouldn't play them in the background while doing other things. Each one is 15 minutes long, I think.

I hate this kind of reverberation, but maybe some of you will find it useful while synchronizing it to some kind of large indoor space. Their speech is not very understandable and I myself can hardly understand every fifth word they are saying. Anyway, these guys are talking in Serbian, so you can synchronize this sound to some non-English speaking guys playing basketball, no one will notice. :) Enjoy the game! Recorded with Zoom H4n. Please rate, comment and share. In case you download some of my sounds and use them in your audiovisual artwork, the only thing I ask from you is to let me know where and how they ended up. It would be a pleasure. Please feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions or suggestions. I really try to keep an open mind for everything. Thank you. Peace. Matt

Clermont Auvergne 15-19 Leinster, Heineken Cup semi-final
Leinster dig deep to set up all-Irish final

Leinster remain on course for back-to-back Heineken Cup titles after seeing off Clermont Auvergne 19-15 in a thrilling semi-final clash at the Stade Chaban Delmas in Bordeaux on Sunday.
The Irish side produced a superb second-half display of game-breaking invention and resolute defence to deny their French rivals a first-ever final appearance and set up a showdown with their provincial neighbours Ulster at Twickenham on May 19.
It was heart-breaking for Clermont, who had led at the break thanks to four penalties from fly-half Brock James, with his opposite number Jonathan Sexton keeping a second-best Leinster in touch. The game swung the defending champions' way after the break with a try from prop Cian Healy and an outrageous drop goal from fullback Rob Kearney steering them into a deserved lead.
Back came Clermont and they thought they had rescued the game when centre Wesley Fofana crossed in the closing moments, but his score was ruled out by the Television Match Official and Leinster dug deep to keep their own euro dreams alive.
With Sexton pulling the strings, Leinster made the first telling incision as winger Isa Nacewa exploited a sliver of space down the line and the result was the opening score of the game courtesy of his fly-half.
An audacious drop goal attempt from James would soon sail wide of the posts and there was more cause for concern a few moments later after a chip and chase from Nacewa had Clermont stretched. But they soaked up the pressure and hit back with a penalty from James that appeared to send confidence rushing through their veins and only a marginally forward pass on the Leinster 22 prevented them from turning the screw.
Given the intensity of an occasion billed as the 'most exciting clash of the season', it was a little surprising that we had to wait until midway through the half for tempers to boil over and Leinster lock Leo Cullen was lucky to escape sanction for a half-hearted punch, although the dive from Clermont prop Lionel Faure was equally unwelcome.
Despite being stripped of two of their starting back three, with Julien Malzieu and then Lee Byrne removed by injury, Clermont retained a cutting edge with some excellent handling asking serious questions of the Leinster defence. They stood firm but their eagerness to snuff out the danger gifted James his second penalty of the afternoon. However, Clermont immediately undid much of their good work with the otherwise impressive powerhouse winger Sitiveni Sivivatu taking out Nacewa in a reckless act that allowed Sexton to level things up once more.
But it was not enough to shift the momentum and the tit-for-tat exchange would continue just a minute later with James slotting his third penalty after Healy was penalized for going off his feet at the breakdown. The loose-head was at fault again before the break with a wild offload handing Clermont great field position from where their pack earned yet another penalty that James slotted to give his side a six-point cushion at the break.

With their proud Heinken Cup record, which now stands at 14 games unbeaten, on the line, Leinster exploded out of the blocks at the start of the second-half to blow the game wide open. A simple inside ball from hooker Richardt Strauss to fullback Rob Kearney split the Clermont defence and Healy went from zero to hero by taking the scoring pass. Sexton's conversion gave Leinster the lead and lit the fuse on what would be an electric second period.
Not content with cutting a swathe through the Clermont defence, Kearney then cemented his side's advantage, and his claims for the Man of the Match honour, with a monster drop goal sailing through the posts. James' attempt to replicate the feat a minute or so later was short and wide but not as ugly as his next penalty kick - the first missed on semi-final weekend. Thankfully for the vociferous Clermont supporters he rediscovered his scoring touch when opportunity next knocked.
Leinster's penalty count continued to frustrate Clermont and referee Wayne Barnes who issued a warning to skipper Cullen but his side had no intention of taking a step back. The energy of replacement scrum-half Eoin Reddan sparked another telling turnover and a step from centre Brian O'Driscoll led to Sexton's latest success from the kicking tee.
A strong run from flanker Sean O'Brien threatened to put the result beyond doubt before his adventure got the better of him and there was a further flicker of hope for Clermont when the otherwise perfect Sexton pushed his next penalty attempt wide - with the TMO called upon to confirm the miss.
With Clermont appearing to run out of steam, Sexton was happy to play for territory the nature of the game had clearly taken its toll on Leinster too. Clermont took heart and time and time again they thundered into the Leinster defence, edging nearer and nearer the line on each occasion. With the crowd roaring them on, Fofana crashed through to touch down but his celebration was premature, with TMO Geoff Warren ruling correctly that he lost control of the ball in the process.
The resulting scrum handed them one last chance to rescue the result and a monumental effort earned them a priceless penalty. The forwards attacked the line with renewed vigour and following another penalty, one final surge took them to within inches. But there would be no way through, with Leinster snuffing out the move to book their passage into yet another final.

St. Cloud Printing Plant to Close
ST. CLOUD (AP) - Printing giant Quad/Graphics plans to close its commercial printing operation in St. Cloud in late August, affecting about 280 workers.
Some Quad/Graphics employees were informed Wednesday of the plans.
A spokeswoman for the Wisconsin-based company says the last day of production at the 237,000-square-foot plant will be determined later.
The closing stems from Quad/Graphics' recent $100 million acquisition of Brown Printing Co. of Waseca. Many of the plants in the Quad/Graphics network are equipped to do the special interest or short-run publications done in St. Cloud.
Job opportunities will be available at other Quad/Graphics plants. The company also has Minnesota plants in Shakopee and Waseca.
Quad/Graphics took over the St. Cloud plant in 2010 following the acquisition of World Color, formerly Quebecor World Inc.

Montana Wind Farms Will Likely Have New Regulations This Week
Federal and Montana regulations have special rules that lower costs for certain types of energy producing plants legally referred to as qualifying small power production facilities or QFs. A bill that is only one day away from becoming law and a statement from the Public Service Commission indicate that the rules for Montana QFs change significantly this week.
According to the Federal Energy Regulation Commisison, QFs have received special regulatory treatment and special rates since the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. The goals of the initial act are as follows:
- The conservation of electric energy,
- Increased efficiency in the use of facilities and resources by electric utilities,
- Equitable retail rates for electric consumers,
- Expeditious development of hydroelectric potential at existing small dams, and
- Conservation of natural gas while ensuring that rates to natural gas consumers are equitable.
QFs include projects such as small hydro plants and, more notably in Montana, wind farms. Nationally, these projects receive QF status if they produce no more than 100 kilowatts of electricity, but the rule was changed by the Public Service Commission in Montana in 2007 to allow projects that produce up to ten megawatts.
New Public Service Commission Chairman Bill Gallagher indicated that the Montana rule put Montana rate payers at risk and favored the energy companies.
In Gallagher's viewpoint, the risk to rate payer's pocketbooks increases as more and more plants with intermittent energy production (like wind) come onto the grid, because other sources of power are needed to keep the grid in balance and reliable when the intermittent sources are not working.
"It would necessitate consumers to have to invest in more plants like David Gates," Gallagher said. "David Gates was a $200 million plant. The rate payers are paying for that, however the wind producers who get the benefit of that regulation they only have to pay what is called the marginal cost of David Gates, basically the fuel cost."
One way or another, the Montana standard will likely match the Federal standard in the near future. One avenue for a rule change is a piece of legislation known as House Bill 188, which will become law on May 7 unless Governor Steve Bullock vetoes it.
"If it becomes law, well then that solves the problem, the legislature fixed the mistake that the former commission made," Gallagher said. "If it doesn't become law, I plan to fix the problem that the former commission made by adjusting the rule limiting QFs to be the same as the federal law."
According to a Public Service Commission press release, "the PSC is scheduled to consider Gallagher's work session request at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in the agency's Bollinger Room at 1701 Prospect Avenue in Helena. If approved by the Commission, the PSC would conduct a public hearing on the proposed rule change as early as June 12."

The 2017 GLC Coupe.
Unique combination of agility, elegance and everyday practicality.
Model Specifications
Vehicle Highlights
Unique combination of agility, elegance and everyday practicality.
Traction meets attraction in the newest expression of two Mercedes-Benz legacies: the sporty luxury and captivating design of a Mercedes-Benz coupe, plus the capability, character and commanding performance of a Mercedes-Benz SUV. Its design fuses an aggressive stance with athletic muscle to convey the confidence that's visible on every surface of its body. Its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive powertrain and versatile chassis bring the confidence to life on any driving surface, from a rugged back road to a snow-covered highway. And it does it all with style — a trait that defines both its coupe and SUV bloodlines.
The agility of a Mercedes-Benz coupe meets the muscle of a legendary family of SUVs in the new GLC Coupe. From its sizable standard 19″ wheels to its power-dome hood and arching roof, it's got a confident stance that's true to the sporty soul within. And its brilliance shines in many ways, from its LED lighting to its turbocharged performance and advanced innovations.
The advanced GLC 300 4matic Coupe engine makes more power from less fuel, with less waste. Its turbo spools up quickly, to put all of the engine's 273 lb-ft of torque at your command from just 1,300 rpm. The rapid-multispark ignition and high-pressure Direct Injection can fine-tune their response in a millisecond. Widely variable valve timing and innovative 3-phase cooling team up to reduce emissions — all while raising your emotions.
Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you find your ideal driving position with a power driver seat that also features a power lumbar support, memory system. The front seats are also heated. The roomy rear seat features a 40/20/40 split with remote folding via buttons in the spacious cargo area or adjacent to each rear side door. Heated rear seats and rear-door sun blinds are also available.
In addition to standard LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED taillamps, the standard LED headlamps generate brighter, whiter light. High-performance active-LED headlamps are available with Adaptive Highbeam Assist and Active Curve Illumination, to shine more light where you need it most.

OpenLDAP, LDAP & Directory services are an enormous topic. Configuration is therefore complex. This page is a starting point for a basic openldap install on Archlinux and a sanity check.
If you are totally new to those concepts, here is an good introduction that is easy to understand and that will get you started, even if you are new to everything LDAP.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Next Steps
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 See Also
OpenLDAP contains both a LDAP server and client. Install it with the package openldap, available in the official repositories.
The server
rm -rf /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/*
First prepare the database directory. You will need to copy the default config file and set the proper ownership.
# cp /etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG # chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/DB_CONFIG
Now prepare the run directory:
# mkdir /run/openldap # chown ldap:ldap /run/openldap
Next we prepare slapd.conf. Add some typically used schemas...
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
Edit the suffix. Typically this is your domain name but it does not have to be. It depends on how you use your directory. We will use 'example' for the domain name, and 'com' for the tld. Also set your ldap administrators name (we'll use 'root' here)
suffix "dc=example,dc=com" rootdn "cn=root,dc=example,dc=com"
Now we delete the default root password and create a strong one:
# sed -i "/rootpw/ d" slapd.conf #find the line with rootpw and delete it # echo "rootpw $(slappasswd)" >> slapd.conf #add a line which includes the hashed password output from slappasswd
ldap won't find things unless you index them. Read the ldap documentation for details, you can use the following to start with. (add them to your
index uid pres,eq index mail pres,sub,eq index cn pres,sub,eq index sn pres,sub,eq index dc eq
Don't forget to run
slapindex after you populate your directory. (slapd needs to be stopped to do this). Then change the ownership for all the generated files:
# chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/*
If you want to use SSL, you have to specify a path to your certificates here. See OpenLDAP Authentication.
Finally you can start the slapd daemon with
slapd.service using systemd.
Very important, you define here on which port the server should listen and if you want to use SSL, you will want to use the ldaps:// URI instead of the default ldap:// You can also specify additional slapd options here.
The client
The client is usually not such a big deal, just keep in mind that your apps that require LDAP auth use it, so if something goes wrong with LDAP, do not waste your time with the app, start debugging the client instead.
The client config file is located at /etc/openldap/ldap.conf It is actually very simple.
If you decide to use SSL:
- The protocol (ldap or ldaps) in the URI entry has to conform with the slapd configuration
- If you decide to use self-signed certificates, you have to add them to TLS_CACERT
Test your new OpenLDAP installation
This is easy, just run the command below:
ldapsearch -x -b "" -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
Or more explicitly using the example configuration we had above:
ldapsearch -v -W -D "cn=root,dc=example,dc=com" -b "" -x -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
Now you should see some information about your database.
OpenLDAP over TLS
If you access the Openldap server over the network and especially if you have sensitive data stored on the server you run the risk of someone sniffing your data which is sent clear-text. The next part will guide you on how to setup an SSL connection between the LDAP server and the client so the data will be sent encrypted.
In order to use TLS, we must first create a certificate. You can have a certificate signed, or create your own Certificate Authority (CA), but for our purposed, a self-signed certificate will suffice.
Create a self-signed certificate
To create a self-signed certificate, type the following:
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out slapdcert.pem -keyout slapdkey.pem -days 365
You will be prompted for information about your LDAP server. Much of the information can be left blank. The most important information is the common name. This must be set to the DNS name of your LDAP server. If your LDAP server's IP address resolves to example.org but its server certificate shows a CN of bad.example.org, LDAP clients will reject the certificate and will be unable to negotiate TLS connections (apparently the results are wholly unpredictable).
Now that the certificate files have been created copy them to
/etc/openldap/ssl/ (if this directory doesn't exist create it) and secure them.
IMPORTANT: slapdcert.pem must be world readable because it contains the public key. slapdkey.pem on the other hand should only be readable for the ldap user for security reasons:
cp slapdcert.pem slapdkey.pem /etc/openldap/ssl/ chown ldap slapdkey.pem chmod 400 slapdkey.pem chmod 444 slapdcert.pem
Configure slapd for SSL
Edit the daemon configuration file (
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf) to tell LDAP where the certificate files reside by adding the following lines:
# Certificate/SSL Section TLSCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SSLv2 TLSCertificateFile /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdcert.pem TLSCertificateKeyFile /etc/openldap/ssl/slapdkey.pem
The TLSCipherSuite specifies a list of OpenSSL ciphers from which slapd will choose when negotiating TLS connections, in decreasing order of preference. In addition to those specific ciphers, you can use any of the wildcards supported by OpenSSL. NOTE: HIGH, MEDIUM, and +SSLv2 are all wildcards.
openssl ciphers -v ALL
Start slapd with SSL
In order to tell OpenLDAP to start using encryption, edit /etc/conf.d/slapd, uncomment the SLAPD_SERVICES line and set it to the following:
Localhost connections don't need to use SSL so you can use this instead:
SLAPD_SERVICES="ldap://127.0.0.1 ldaps:///:
IMPORTANT: If you created a self-signed certificate above be sure to add the following line to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf or you won't be able connect to the server to test it:
TLS_REQCERT allow
Finally restart the server.
Next Steps
You now have a basic ldap installation. The step is to design your directory. The design is heavily dependent on what you are using it for. If you are new to ldap, consider starting with a directory design recommended by the specific client services that will use the directory (PAM, Postfix, etc).
A directory for system authentication is the LDAP Authentication article.
If you notice that slapd seems to start but then stops, you may have a permission issue with the ldap datadir. Try running:
# chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data/*
to allow slapd write access to its data directory as the user "ldap"

The Rev. H. J. "Jay" Wilson, 77, of Oxford, England, an Episcopal priest who had served at the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Field in Chestnut Hill, died of a heart attack May 21 at the home of a friend in Albuquerque, N.M.
Mr. Wilson also had been an assistant professor in the English Department at Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) for many years.
During the 1980s and 1990s, when he had served in various area parishes, he and his wife, Susannah Harris-Wilson, lived in Mt. Airy, then in Chestnut Hill.
Called "Jay" by all who knew him, Mr. Wilson was the son of a clergyman who served in various mission parishes in the United States and, consequently, grew up in several states, including Montana, West Virginia and Tennessee.
He received a bachelor's degree from Williams College, studied English literature at the University of North Carolina and graduated from the General Seminary in New York City.
He had served as curate at churches in Princeton, N.J., and Whitstable, Kent, England, then in the United States as University Chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania and assistant priest at the Church of St. Mary's Hamilton Village, among his many assignments.
After his retirement from CCP and church service, he and his wife settled in Oxford, England, but found time to travel. Recent trips included visits to Pakistan, where his wife has roots, and Egypt, Istanbul and Syria.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons from his previous marriage, Anthony and Laurence Wilson; two sisters, Betsy Collins and Julia Wilson Ball, and five grandchildren
A Requiem Mass will be celebrated June 9 at the Church of St. Mary Magadalen in Oxford, where Mr. Wilson regularly celebrated evening Mass on Sundays. – RR


text: Did you know why some people suffer from having multiple Gall stones? The causes of the formation of small stones (the size of a pea or larger) called gall stones is due to too much calcium and cholesterol in the bile. Normally gall stones are not harmful, but if one of them clogs in the bile ducts, the bile can get trapped in the gall bladder and caused it to become inflamed. Let me share an effective natural cure for gall stones that my mother tried. My mother has been diagnosed with … [Read more...] about Natural Cure for Gall Stones

The Winter Classic is already gone. The next victim could be the NHL All-Star Game.
While the league has held off on postponing the all-star weekend in Columbus after cancelling the first two months of the regular season, that may not be the case next time around if more games are cut next week.
At this juncture, the league is not going to have an 82-game season. Whether it's 50-or-60 games that are played if a collective bargaining agreement in place this year, it's going to be packed into a short period of time so the playoffs don't end in July.
The all-star weekend is set for Jan. 26-27. If it's not held then it would simply be postponed until next year.
"Losing all-star weekend will be another hit for the sponsors," said league insider Friday. "This weekend is about making sure the sponsors get something back for the role they play in the league and it's a chance to feature the stars.
"No, the game doesn't mean anything in the big scheme of things, but it's important in a market like Columbus where they need something positive."

Pinocchio Part 29
This sequence showcases the sophisticated understanding of water that the Disney effects animators had. If you compare the portrayal of water in this film with the water in Gulliver's Travels, released just a year earlier, the difference is striking. Gulliver opens with a storm at sea, but the water simply doesn't feel as liquid as the water in Pinocchio. In some Gulliver scenes, the foam on the waves seems to be sewed on, not sliding over the surface or changing its shape enough to be convincing.
The water here works due to a combination of elements. There is the undulating surface, marked by independently moving masses which sometimes overlap. The undulation is helped by the colour-separated detail that flows over it and which constantly changes shape. There are also the foam and the splashes which break up and change shape over time. Colour, too, is critical, as the water has to reflect the environment it is in.
Art Palmer, Josh Meador and Don Tobin did fantastic work on the water here. With the exception of Meador, few Disney effects animators have any sort of reputation. Sequences like this show that they deserve to.

Hi Mark-
Perhaps you've already thought of this, or maybe it's already in the works, but you are sitting on a good book idea with what you're doing here with Pinocchio. I would love to see all of these notes, including the storyboard-like panels of scenes by animator, in a nice coffee table book. It would be great if Disney agreed to it.

Hi Ken. A couple of people have suggested a book coming out of this, but to tell the truth, I'm a little wary of contacting Disney. While I believe that the stills I'm using can be considered fair use and there's no question that the material is for educational purposes, I don't doubt that some Disney lawyer would be happy to send me a cease and desist letter claiming I'm infringing on Disney's copyright.
There's a lot to be said for flying below the radar and doing what needs to be done, rather than calling attention to the work.

Any information of Art Palmer, apart from when he came to Disney's in c1936 and left roughly in 1942, did he do anything else after that.

Pink Floyd – the pig
Since the Seventies, the British rock band have had a thing for inflatables. A massive blow-up pig first graced their live shows during the In the Flesh Tour in 1977, and continued to do so during The Wall tour in 1980-81, along with giant string puppets with spotlights for eyes. For the Momentary Relapse of Reason tour in 1987-9 the remaining band members added a fake testicle to the pig prop as the original image rights were held by former bassist Roger Waters.

Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed when the facility electrical system is first designed, and then updated when a major modification or renovation takes place — but no less frequently than every five years. Major changes would be considered a change in feed by the electric utility, a change in the primary or secondary system configuration within the facility, a change in transformer size or impedance, a change in conductor lengths or sizes, or a change in the motors that are energized by the system.
Every electrical system confines electrical current flow to selected paths by surrounding the conductors with insulators of various types. Short-circuit current is the flow of electrical energy that results when the insulation barrier fails and allows current to flow in a shorter path than the intended circuit.
In normal operations, as shown in Fig. 1, the impedance of the electrical load limits the current flow to relatively small values. However, a short-circuit path bypasses the normal current-limiting load impedance, resulting in excessively high current values that are restricted only by limitations of the power system itself, and by the impedances of the conductive elements that still remain in the path between the power source and the short-circuit point (Fig. 2).
Using basic Ohm's Law (E = I × Z or I = E ÷ Z) as a guide, it's obvious that if the voltage remains constant and the impedance suddenly decreases, approaching zero, then the current must simultaneously increase, approaching infinity, to satisfy Ohm's Law.
There are three basic sources of short-circuit current: the electric utility, motors, and on-site generators. Obviously, the largest source is the electric utility, although the high- and medium-voltage lines leading to the facility do have finite impedances, as does the utility service transformer. The second largest source is from motors within a facility.
With today's high fault currents, it's more important than ever to protect electrical equipment from extremely high current levels. Otherwise, the equipment will explode as it attempts to interrupt the fault. But for many, fault current calculations have always been difficult to get a handle on, until now.
Here's a new method to calculate short-circuit currents, one we like to call the "Easy Way kVA Method." You can use in it in place of the abstract "per-unit" method of short-circuit calculations from the past. With the kVA method, you can easily visualize what currents will flow and where they will flow, and you can calculate them using an inexpensive handheld calculator in moments, regardless of the complexity of the electrical power system.
This method is simple because there are no awkward "base" changes to make, because kVAs are the same on both the primary and secondary sides of every transformer. Best of all, you only need one calculation to determine the short-circuit values at every point within the entire electrical power system. With the old per-unit method, you needed a separate calculation for each point in the system.
You can obtain short-circuit kVA values from your electrical utility company, but short-circuit power is also protected by generators and motors. The kVA produced by a motor is equal to its starting inrush current. Likewise, the kVA produced by a generator is equal to its kVA nameplate rating divided by its nameplate subtransient reactance rating (Xd).
For example, suppose we have a 1,000kVA generator with a subtransient rating of 0.15. It would instantaneously produce 6,667kVA (1,000 ÷ 0.15). Or, suppose we have a 100-hp motor with subtransient rating of 0.17. It would instantaneously produce 588kVA (100 ÷ 0.17).
Now suppose this motor and generator connects to the same bus. Then, the short-circuit power available at that bus is the sum 6,667kVA plus 588kVA, or 7,255kVA. If the electrical utility is rated to deliver 100,000kVA to this same bus, then the total short-circuit power available at that bus is 107,255kVA.
Using the kVA method also greatly simplifies the calculation of short-circuit power attenuation (or holdback) provided by reactors, transformers, and conductors. For example, a 2,000kVA, 7% impedance transformer will pass through its windings a maximum of 28,571kVA of power (2,000 ÷ 0.07), if infinite power flows to one side of its windings. If instead of an infinite current source, the above bus connects to this transformer, then the amount of power that will be "let through" the transformer is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the two, or 1 ÷ ( [1 ÷107,254] + [1 ÷ 28,571] ), or 22,561kVA. You can determine transformer impedance, reactor impedance, or cable size with the kVA method quickly enough to make "what-if" calculations.
Comparisons over several years have found results of the kVA method to be accurate within 3% of computer calculations using expensive software, so you can even use the kVA method as a "check" on the input and output of a computer calculation. This is an excellent benefit because standard engineering procedure requires you to check calculations using a different method from the one originally used.

11 of Lily Collins' Best Beauty Looks
Of all the reasons we adore Lily Collins' beauty looks, her brows—which practically have a cult following of their own—are just the beginning. In addition to her alluring, Audrey Hepburn-like features, the actress and face of Lancôme consistently makes makeup and hair choices that straddle the line between classic and edgy in just the right way.
From her show-stopping lip looks to her enviable short chop, Collins is a consistent muse for the Byrdie team. So, in honour of her birthday, we're taking a look at some of her most winning red carpet beauty looks.
Click through for 11 of our favourite Lily Collins beauty looks...
Exaggerated, natural lashes perfectly complemented the bold red lip and red dress Collins wore to a Flaunt Magazine party in 2013. It's just one of the actresses' many standout lipstick moments.
File this under "Great Hair Day." Collins' perfectly casual waves and groomed brows are completely appropriate and chic for a meet and greet promoting her film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
Always ahead of the game, Collins wore one of our favourite beauty looks for S/S 14—a bright orange lip—at a Flaunt Magazine and G-Star Raw party last year. Collins attributes her love of a bold lip to makeup artist Kayleen McAdams.
Collins killed it again at a Chanel pre-Oscar party this year, with a bright pink lip that's simply spot-on for spring.

Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan on National Parks
The filmmakers behind the PBS special, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," share some favorites.
For his new PBS special, The National Parks: America's Best Idea (airing in September), Ken Burns filmed in 53 of the 58 national parks in the U.S. The idea actually came from Burns's co-executive producer and best friend, Dayton Duncan, who has been to all of the parks. The filmmakers share some favorites.
Denali, Alaska
"I can't describe the power of taking the 90-mile dirt road to the center of the park," says Burns. "You are fully encased in nature—bears, elk, Dall sheep. It's what the continent looked like before humans."
Isle Royale, Mich.
Reachable by boat or plane, in the corner of Lake Superior, "it's the biggest island on the biggest lake in the world," says Duncan. "On Isle Royale is another lake, Siskiwit. You hike to it and take a canoe to an island on it, called Ryan Island. Then you're standing on the biggest island on the biggest lake on the biggest island on the biggest lake in the world."
Glacier, Mont.
"We always stay at the Many Glacier Hotel," Duncan says. And he never skips Going-to-the-Sun Road, "the most beautiful road in America."
Yellowstone, Wyo.
Avoid the crowds. "Go in winter," says Burns. "You round a corner and encounter bison covered in snow that look like they've been there 20,000 years. It alters you."
The National Park of American Samoa
The highlight for Duncan is on the sparsely populated island Ofu, reached by prop plane from Pago Pago. "Hike over to pristine Ofu Beach, where the snorkeling is unbelievable, and you'll very likely have it to yourself."
